On the origins of migraines

An interesting article at NPR gives some insight from neurologist David Buchholz of Johns Hopkins University about which different factors may be at the origin of migraines.

Sixteen shades of greed

Reading an article published today in the New York Times I started feeling sick in the first sentences. The title of the article is “MTV’s ‘Super Sweet 16′ Gives a Sour Pleasure” and the reality show it talks about is not unbelievable but rather is just in real bad taste.

Flammekuche in Strasbourg

While I was in Strasbourg for a few days (first time there, helping with a friend’s removal) I was taken out to discover the Flammekuche at the Flam’s. There was a really great atmosphere and great service so if you’re looking for a place to try out the Flammekuche, the Flam’s is a good address.
