		<title>They&#8217;re My Calories&#8230;Stop Counting  for Me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No curmudgeon here, but just one harried boomer, who&#8217;s watching life&#8217;s intrusions chip, chipping away&#8230; One upside of travel used to be the &#8220;turn off your mobile phones&#8221; announcement, and now, it appears one&#8217;s conscience gets no time &#8211; off from calorie counting. Regulators&#8217; appetite for calorie counts is about to extend beyond restaurants to include [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mad Men and Ageism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the first rules of marketing and advertising is to understand and target the audience your product is intended to reach.  Seems pretty straightforward, but sometimes the path to the promised land, or targeted audience, is a winding one.
If you are a Mad Men fan, you watched this week as two advertisers debated how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Live Long and Prosper?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living longer is, as Martha Stewart would say, “A good thing.”  Living longer and maintaining a high quality of life through those later years is a really good thing and a recent report from the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics says that this is exactly what older Americans can expect.
Of course, that long and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brainier than Thou</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little while ago, we learned that extra body fat was correlated with smaller brain volume and possibly linked to increased rates of Alzheimer’s disease.  Across the city, ice cream spoons were sadly set aside.  Not that anyone wanted to be overweight, but being overweight and hopelessly confused was just more than we could bear.
Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Need a New Hip? Check the Joint Registry First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[806,000 hip and knee implants were performed in the US in 2007 – that’s double the amount done a decade earlier. However, a 2007 study demonstrates that 7% of Medicare patients who underwent a hip replacement required another replacement hip within seven and a half years.  That number, small as it sounds, translates into thousands [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brains v. Beauty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An age old dilemma, &#8211; which is more powerful and important – brains or beauty?  Would you rather be hideously ugly and brilliant, or stunningly beautiful and unable to carry a conversation?
Of course none of us really wants to be either of those things.  We want to be brilliant and stunningly beautiful.  And rich.  And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Betting Against the Brand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one who passionately builds brands for a living, it saddens me when I am forced to bear witness to the downward spiral of a once-strong brand.  The recent troubles faced by Tylenol and other huge brands from McNeil Consumer Healthcare bear witness to the fact that, while the identity of a brand can help [...]]]></description>

		<title>Care and Feeding of the Middle Aged Brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we work with administrators to help navigate the world of Long Term Care it is hard not to be hyper-aware of our own mortality and the eventuality that we, too, are likely to reach a point where we will need some level of assistance in getting through the tasks of day-to-day living.  This awareness, [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Want Me to Drink What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am admittedly not the trendiest girl around.  I don’t have designer shoes or a luxury car or get my hair blown out.  Actually, where I live getting your hair blown out means you drove with a window open, but I don’t do that much either.  The NYC crowd would have a field day with [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s a Bona Fide Boomer Got to do to&#8230; Survive?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Jarett Berry, a cardiologist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, one must be vigilant about keeping physically active. Yes, in what they used to call &#8220;Middle Age.&#8221;  Wasn&#8217;t that the time we thought would be a little slower, a tad less &#8220;vigorous,&#8221; an entitlement to ease up a bit? Not [...]]]></description>
