Mayor Bloomberg introduced new health commissioner today to replace Dr. Thomas Frieden, who was picked by President Obama last week to head up the Centers for Disease Control. He's Dr. Thomas Farley, a pediatrician and epidemiologist affiliated with Tulane. Why did Bloomberg pick Farley? He's an expert on HIV and "early-intervention strategies for children with special needs." As an added bonus, city will save hundreds of dollars by not having to order new memo pads embossed with the initials "TF," which is good to hear. [NYDN]
