Federal regulators unveiled a plan Tuesday that would give Internet providers broad powers to determine what websites and online services their customers can see and use, and at what cost. The move sets the stage for a crucial vote next month at the Federal Communications Commission that could reshape the entire digital ecosystem. The FCC’s Republican chairman, Ajit Pai, has made undoing the government's net neutrality rules one of his top priorities, and Tuesday's move hands a win to broadband companies such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast. Pai is taking aim at regulations that were approved two years ago under a Democratic presidency and that sought to make s…

The surgeon is about to get a few new tools. Some might even call them superpowers. For years, surgeons have relied on microscope oculars or other camera systems to operate. Even so, they typically depend on their own eyes and interpretations to execute the most precise of tasks. In these cases, his or her head is down, thereby limiting peripheral vision and communication with staff, while straining his or her back and neck muscles for hours at a time.This is not a great combination of factors, especially during the most intense operations. This past year, two of the most intricate surgical practices, ophthalmology and neurology, have been experimenting with new technolo…

The potentially harmful effects of loneliness and social isolation on health and longevity, especially among older adults, are well established. For example, in 2013 I reported on research finding that loneliness can impair health by raising levels of stress hormones and inflammation, which in turn can increase the risk of heart disease, arthritis, Type 2 diabetes, dementia and even suicide attempts. Among older people who reported they felt left out, isolated or lacked companionship, the ability to perform daily activities like bathing, grooming and preparing meals declined and deaths increased over a six-year study period relative to people who reported none of …

I have come to the pinnacle of success in business. In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success. However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed. At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death. In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the equipment for artificial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me. Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough mon…

The House is expected to take up the $1.5 trillion tax bill today, and the Senate could follow this evening or Wednesday morning; lawmakers hope to get it to President Trump’s desk by Christmas. Republicans announced they are one step closer to passing the major tax cut after Senator Susan Collins of Maine said she'd vote for the bill, reports CNBC. On Sunday, CNN reported that John McCain will likely miss this weekÂ’s tax bill vote — a scenario that made Collins' vote even more important. McCain, suffering from brain cancer, is recovering in Arizona after being hospitalized for a viral infection. Senator Jeff Flake now remains the only Republican hold out on the bill.

While many agree that worker retraining is necessary to prepare for the future, it's not clear that such programs are always effective. In her book "Janesville: An American Story," The Washington Post’s Amy Goldstein chronicled the closure after a GM plant shut down in Janesville, Wis., in 2008, following the lives of workers who had to start over. She found that retraining programs for those factory workers were inadequate solutions. “People who had retrained overall were less likely to have work,” Goldstein told LinkedIn. “The difference between their [wages] before the recession and a few years afterwards was a bigger slide downwards than compared to people who had not…
