In order to treat their patients more effectively, doctors should work to be more cognizant of the cultural backgrounds of their patients, Ofri said. Ofri began with a reading from her book, "Medicine in Translation: Journeys with My Patients," which told the story of Nazma Uddin, a 35-year-old woman from Bangladesh, who repeatedly visited Ofri's office complaining of countless ailments.

Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff Enter a hotel room a few years from now and one's mobile device will automatically communicate one's personal viewing preferences to the television, at least according to a panel of experts gathered Wednesday at the Tuck School of Business's ninth annual Tech@Tuck event. The Tech@Tuck program this year focused on mobile strategy and included vendor demonstrations and a speaker panel focused on mobile technology's present state and projected changes over the next few years. The panel included Terry Kramer, regional president of Vodafone Americas, Emily Green, president and CEO of Yankee Group Research, a technology research firm, Mark VandenBrink, vice president of technology solutions at Samsung Telecommunications America, and Kevin Bradshaw, CEO of buzzd, a mobile social networking company. VandenBrink predicted that converged devices, or devices that communicate and coordinate their activity, will be the future of mobile technology. "The big opportunity in mobile is how do you rethink convergence," VandenBrink said.

As wild, unpredictable and insane as terrorism may seem to us, it is not random. Terrorists have a method they wait silently until they see a gap in our security, carefully analyze the gap and then exploit it. So far, it has proven extremely difficult to disrupt this pattern.
