This is so rewarding. 35 years ago, when I started Masimo I had Stork, a reliable pulse oximeter that can warn parents of dangerous hypoxemia, in mind. Today, with clearance by the FDA, we can finally deliver it to parents.
Masimo has received FDA clearance for the Stork™ baby monitoring system. Stork provides continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and skin temperature, with alarms, for sick and healthy babies at home. Learn more: ow.ly/PwVJ50QjTr5

This is so wonderful for my former colleague, desk mate in the charming-crummy asbestos laden 3rd floor press room in the old courthouse, and editor @danalittlefield. Flowers aren’t enough but they’ll do just fine. And of course it’s the gracious @JudgeSmyth with the handoff.
Thank you to the San Diego County Bar Association @sdcountybar , SPJ @spj_tweets Judge Michael Smyth and others for the lovely surprise tonight. The 15 years I spent covering courts were the best of my career so far.

Wow WOW wow who is ready for a fundamental change in our weather pattern next week??!? The @NWSCPC is calling for a much above normal chance of precipitation, and slight chances for below normal temperatures. How are we feeling about this, SoCal?

A team of us spent months crafting a minute-by-minute account of our mental health care system. Going in, there was no way to predict the violence and healing we'd witness. But any 3 days could have been picked, because these days are every day. sandiegouniontribune.com/new…

Stay at a place long enough and you see a lot of people leave, sadly. But a U-T without Karla Peterson is something I have a hard time imagining. The high quality of her writing was surpassed only by her quality as a person. Every newsroom should have a Karla, who I'll miss.

We’ve gotten used to fast⬆–fast⬇surges. It’s been hard to disentangle why: (a) rapid ⬆in population immunity or (b) rapid response by people & policymakers (mandates, ⬆masking, ⬇travel, etc). I’m afraid we're going to see what happens when⬆in cases doesn’t cause much (b).

No matter what the sheriff says, reporting is not a crime. I stand with @AleneTchek and my peers at the @latimes against this latest outrage and abuse of power.
BREAKING: @LACoSheriff says he is investigating @latimes reporter @AleneTchek in connection with a leak of information, displaying a photo of her at today’s newser. This is an extraordinary escalation in the sheriff’s attack not only on the paper but also on the First Amendment.

Pharma companies have long said that it's unfair to look at the gross increase in drug prices because of rebates they pay. But data presented at @medicarepayment this month show that brand-name drug prices more than doubled from 2010-2020 **net of rebates.**

Thank you to Jeff McDonald @SDUTmcdonald for being another incredible mentor throughout the summer. I don’t think you give yourself enough credit for the work you do. I’m immensely grateful for all of your help on my never ending story and fighting for it just as hard as I am. – at San Diego, CA
