An inter-seminar contest, for chocolate, Milky Way or Reese's/Kit-Kats.
One article says SES doesn't change mortality.
One says health insurance is related.
One says health behaviors and health insurance coverage can be controlled for, but still there is a connection between SES and health.
One followed that smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, BMI can be controlled and still show connection between SES and health.
One (echoing tonights exercise) blames lack of housing for homelessness.
One says individual factors dictate who will be homeless, but housing is the fundamental determinant.
One identifies the context of risk factors as important.
One denies the idea that risk factors are not causally related.
One affirms that risks of risks and social conditions for risk are both important.
I haven't done the readings (yet). I haven't missed a question.
Now chocolate:
From Cacao, Almond Joy has nuts, Violet Beauregard became a blueberry, Water for Chocolate in Mexico, Chocolate fights Dementors, and Epidemiology can study risk factors for risk factors - Social Epidemiology.

Second Exercise
Traditional Risk Factor Epidemiology - The Hidden Danger
Numbers don't tell us what causes problems.
Siegel is standing in front of the projector, with the "No Signal" image now glowing on his face.
There is still trickery - the numbers don't give the answers. This example is more heavy-handed than the last.

Commercials
Clip of advertisement trying to get cigarette advertising on agenda:
Teens&Tobacco - CNN. 16 year old girl can't stop reading cigarette adds. Has smoked since she was 14. Tobacco companies are still targeting teens, despite legal agreement not to. CNN spelled Siegel's name wrong - Siegal.
Framing smoking in bars as workers' health:
1. Sepia toned diner - "It's not easy to quit a fifteen-year smoking habit, especially when it's not yours." - Not everyone can walk away from secondhand smoke.
2. Full House Clip? Siegel recorded that, frequently? An accident, but damning.
3. Clip of people - diners and waiters pleased 16 months after the ban are pleased. Restaurant workers 1.5 times greater risk, "no-smoking" sections don't reduce harm. Bar owner thinks business has dropped off (not associated with smoking?) and think it should be his decision to let people smoke or not. Also, Siegel is Rick Moranis-esque on tv.

Welcome to Lecture 7
Dr Phil just couldn't handle that Siegel stole his show, and according to the National Enquirer, is "Falling Apart."
This is going to be the tone of the night.
Fabulous prizes! Colorado Avalanche license plate and wallet, for making a play in SPH softball. "You probably don't have a car to put it on or money to put in it." - Siegel.
Calculator time: I'm waiting for someone to show a ten-key. I have a pad of paper.
Most basic - TI-something simple. - Hershey's bar, plain.
Winner - variants on TI-89s. Hershey's bar, extra dark with lots of fruit and such.
I own this.

Tension
They did take it personally.
Also, does anyone think lactation rooms might be a "white tent"?

We're live with the "Dr. Phil" show - interesting migration from Phil Donohue to Dr. Phil.
We have an awkward panel of people, (all of whom) who seem unprepared for a talk show format.
Actually, this is just awkward. And one group is totally over-attacked.
And we're all ganging up on two people who don't care about their position enough to fight about it. It's not them. I hope they're not taking this personally.
