Orthopedist recommendations?

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I need an orthopedist, or possibly just a physical therapist in the Davis area. (I'll probably go to the orthopedist, who will tell me to go to a PT...) Does anyone have any recommendations? I can just pick someone from the Harvard Vanguard group, but if someone has some experience, that would be great! thanks

Killing bed bugs with heat

[sparr0.livejournal.com]

Since moving to MA I've heard a lot about the scariness of bed bugs and why people don't often take used mattresses or cushion-y furniture. I heard and read a few unsupported claims that you could kill bed bugs with heat. I contemplated how I would heat an entire mattress up to extreme (non-inflammatory) temperatures. However, I recently found http://www.epa.gov/bedbugs/, which seems like a relatively trustworthy place to get such information, and apparently all it takes is 113F (45C) for 1 hour!? This is mind boggling. I can seal a mattress inside a plastic bag and slide it into the sealed bed of my truck on a sunny day to easily accomplish that.

Why isn't this a more commonly known/implemented solution?

Earthquake in Somerville

Anyone else just feel the earthquake in Somerville? Was my first ever and wasn't sure what was happening at first but probably pretty mild. Just curious if anyone else experienced it also.
