Sleep – Insomnia – Beds and Bedding – Medicine and Health – Stress -…
New York Times – Nov 18, 2007
He mingles at medical conferences and is chairman of the company’s “Sleep Advisory Board” a consortium of doctors. He “sleep tinkers” coordinating pilot studies in sleep labs to understand how to build the mattress of the future. His goal at Select Comfort is to educate Americans about the science and benefits of healthful sleep and this plus his title senior director of sleep innovation and clinical research makes him seem deliberately more man-of-science than mattress-salesman. The distinction is less clear-cut when it comes to the man himself. “How’d you sleep last night?” Bils asked strolling into a conference room to meet me at the company’s headquarters outside Minneapolis one morning last summer. He blared it the way certain men blare “Darn glad to meet you. ” Later sitting down to lunch he noted that the weather had not been “muggy” or “unbearable” but “bad sleeping weather.

Seattle Post Intelligencer – Nov 18, 2007
PTUW Children’s Hospital team up to address oral health earlyBy. The first visit was an open house of sorts — sit in the chair touch the equipment meet the people who will be cleaning and examining their teeth. The actual exam happened on the second visit when the children were used to the place and wouldn’t panic in the dentist’s chair.

So for more than a decade she has visited the dental clinic at the University of Washington.

Take the marketing out of Prometa program
TheNewsTribune.com – Nov 18, 2007
The alliance is not wrong to embrace Prometa which is a genuinely promising treatment. Anecdotal reports and personal accounts of its effectiveness have been impressive. But the fact is that credible clinical research on Prometa has yet to be completed. The alliance’s own data on Prometa hyped as “exceptionally positive” cannot be considered definitive as a recent county performance audit demonstrated. Prometa holds enough promise to justify continued county funding for the alliance program at least through 2008. Ladenburg is right to try to save the funding. But the alliance must completely shed its marketing role eliminate financial conflicts of interest and regard its program as an experiment that must be rigorously evaluated.
