3 things Dr. Oz can do as CMS administrator to help fix American health care

FOX News

Dr. Mehmet Oz, nominated by President-elect Trump to be the next CMS administrator, will have his hands full when he takes the reins of our agency that provides health insurance for over 140 million Americans and accounts for one quarter of the nation's budget. Through bold and principled leadership and effective communication, he holds the potential to make a positive, lasting difference. It's no secret our health care system is broken. We continue to spend more and more money without any clear return on investment when it comes to our nation's health and well-being. In fact, nearly 50% of Americans live with one chronic health condition, such as diabetes, hypertension, or obesity.

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Most people have had brief lapses of memory -- forgetting a train of thought, a driving route or maybe a word choice. In most cases, these episodes last only a few seconds and are nothing to worry about -- but if they persist, it may warrant getting a doctor's input. For a clearer understanding of what defines this condition -- often referred to as "brain fog" -- Fox News Digital asked two medical doctors about recognizing the symptoms and when to seek medical attention.


Intelligence in Strategic Games

Naumov, Pavel | Yuan, Yuan (Vassar College)

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

If an agent, or a coalition of agents, has a strategy, knows that she has a strategy, and knows what the strategy is, then she has a know-how strategy. Several modal logics of coalition power for know-how strategies have been studied before. The contribution of the article is three-fold. First, it proposes a new class of know-how strategies that depend on the intelligence information about the opponents' actions. Second, it shows that the coalition power modality for the proposed new class of strategies cannot be expressed through the standard know-how modality. Third, it gives a sound and complete logical system that describes the interplay between the coalition power modality with intelligence and the distributed knowledge modality in games with imperfect information.


Are you ready for a robot boss? Many workers say that yes, they are - The Boston Globe

At work, AI tells sales reps which accounts they should be pursuing and helps lawyers instantly analyze piles of contracts. Is it any wonder that we're starting to think it might be OK if the machines take over? A recent global survey found that 64 percent of more than 8,000 respondents said they didn't just embrace AI -- they would actually trust it more than their manager. Tony Deigh, chief technology officer at the Cambridge machine-learning-based employment platform Jobcase, understands this impulse. As AI gets better at recognizing complicated patterns from huge troves of data, it could conceivably be applied to many roles, like being a boss. "Would I take career advice from a machine?

The education of Donald Trump has quietly begun -- and yes, he's taking notes

Los Angeles Times

Far from the packed arenas and showy lights of the campaign trail, the education of Donald Trump has quietly begun. The unlikely Republican presidential candidate who rose to popularity as a political outsider is now preparing for a general election battle against one of the most experienced policy professionals ever to run for president, presuming Hillary Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee. So as Trump's team begins to ready the candidate for the fall debates and drafts a series of speeches, including one on the U.S. economy, the New York businessman with no elected experience is cramming to get up to speed, consulting experts, asking questions and refining his ideas in anticipation of certain assault by Democrats. The crash courses in foreign and domestic policy are a rite of passage for virtually every presidential candidate. But they carry even greater importance for Trump, who has mocked the Washington establishment as overcomplicating problems and won over many voters with simple ideas that often lack details: build a wall to stop illegal immigration, defeat Islamic State, bring back jobs, make America great again.
