Dear IPA Members,

The IPA Administration, in agreement with the Board, has created a Task Force to develop a new, wide-reaching Communication Plan.

Recurrent themes: Govt. breakdowns, antisemitism, fear of snakes from Sasha Rolde on IP.net

Dear Colleagues,

There are good news (the Red Sox win) and then there are bad news (more shooting – at the LA airport). In between is the specter of the Affordable Health Care and what this means.
