TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test whether households' deductible choices in auto and home insurance reflect stable risk preferences using a unique data set, and they find that many households exhibit greater risk aversion in their home deductible choices than their auto deductible choices.
Abstract: Using a unique data set, we test whether households' deductible choices in auto and home insurance reflect stable risk preferences. Our test relies on a structural model that assumes households are objective expected utility maximizers and claims are generated by household-coverage specific Poisson processes. We find that the hypothesis of stable risk preferences is rejected by the data. Our analysis suggests that many households exhibit greater risk aversion in their home deductible choices than their auto deductible choices. We find that our results are robust to several alternative modeling assumptions.

TL;DR: The World Health Organization director-general has declared poliomyelitis a public health emergency of international concern and now again for Ebola, signaling perhaps a new era of potential WHO leadership in global health security.
Abstract: On August 8, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan declared the West Africa Ebola crisis a “public health emergency of international concern,”1 triggering powers under the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR). The IHR requires countries to develop national preparedness capacities, including the duty to report internationally significant events, conduct surveillance, and exercise public health powers, while balancing human rights and international trade. Until last year, the director-general had declared only one such emergency—influenza AH1N1 (in 2009). Earlier this year, she declared poliomyelitis a public health emergency of international concern and now again for Ebola, signaling perhaps a new era of potential WHO leadership in global health security.

TL;DR: It is argued that greater awareness that race is at best a placeholder for other predispositions, and not a biologic verity, would be a first step towards race-based therapeutics.
Abstract: Are we moving into a new era of race-based therapeutics? Dr M Gregg Bloche asserts that greater awareness that race is at best a placeholder for other predispositions, and not a biologic verity, would be a first step
