Growing with the Community | Civista.org | Kausha Patel
My name is Doctor Kausha Patel. As the Medical Director of Laboratory Services at Civista, it #39;s my pleasure to share with you some of the advancements we #39;ve made this year. We have just completed a major, 4-phase renovation with the new "core lab" configuration. This allows our laboratory staff to communicate with each other more effectively and efficiently, resulting in less wait time for patients in the ED and quicker results for physicians. The end result is delivering the most effective treatment so patients can begin healing faster. I #39;m happy to report that we #39;ve also expanded and relocated our histology department to optimize anatomic studies and surgical tissue examination. Our microbiology department was also expanded to meet the growing needs of Civista #39;s new Center for Wound Healing. With all of our new advancements, Civista is able to ensure that we provide the very best, state-of-the-art care for members of our community.

In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) TEDxYouth@Caltech was held on January 19, 2013, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA.

Irish Sports Council Publish 2012 Anti-Doping Testing Figures – Video


Irish Sports Council Publish 2012 Anti-Doping Testing Figures
The Irish Sports Council today published their anti-doping test figures for 2012. The national programme saw 787 tests across 31 sports in 2012. This is a decrease from previous years but is due to a more targeted programme and a major increase in blood testing to 133 over the course of the year. The data showed there were eight anti-doping rule violations in 2012. Four of these violations arose from a substance found in supplements and four were related to cannabis which is a prohibited substance. Minister of State Michael Ring, commenting on the figures said The Irish anti-doping programme is very strong and I want to commend Professor Buckley and the Irish Sports Council for their continuing excellence in this area. It is an international issue and that is why I was delighted to be able to have dialogue with the senior representatives from WADA today. I have made it a priority during the EU Presidency to advance the battle against doping. Information was also published on "Whereabouts Failures". For individual sports there were 18 "Filing Failures" and 3 "Missed Tests". Three indiscretions of this kind can lead to an athlete receiving a sanction which to date has not arisen under the Irish Anti-Doping Rules. In team sports there were 12 "Unsuccessful Attempts" including 8 in the GAA. The other highlights in 2012 include significant progress in advancing the concept of an intelligence-led programme and the and the significant contribution made to improving detection of ...

Kids and Religion/Spirituality

Information from Peggy Drexler, Ph.D. a research psychologist, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Weill Medical College, Cornell University and author of two books about modern families and the children they produce. Follow Peggy on Twitter and Facebook and learn more about Peggy at http://www.peggydrexler.com

Story about Sam a boy from two non-religious parents who one night said he was "thankful for Jesus who gives us everything". More Americans than ever are turning away from religion. A recent report by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that 1 in 5 adults has no religious affiliation -- under the age of 30, the numbers increase to a third -- compared to the year 1950, when the percentage of adults who identified as having no religion was just two percent. And the biggest increase among the non-religious is what researchers call the "nones," the people who are largely indifferent. They're not atheists or disenchanted former believers; they just don't care. This indifference is being passed on to children, but at what cost? The University of British Columbia found that spirituality is more important than religion in making kids happy, religion certainly has been shown to come with certain benefits. Participation in a religious community may help kids develop a strong moral core; specifically, it has been shown to reduce the incidence of teen drug use and pregnancy, while increasing feelings of self-esteem and overall hopefulness. A Mississippi State University study found that younger boys whose parents practice religion are better behaved and adjusted than those raised in homes without religion. These boys also display better self-control, social skills, and ability to work with others. In addition, religion seems to be somewhat comforting to kids in particular, and indeed it can provide a certain stability that children welcome in a world that's full of changes. For a generation of children that's required to be more adaptive than ever before, simple acts like reciting prayers and getting dressed each week for service can help impart a feeling of safety and groundedness. Although the numbers seem to indicate that religion occupies a diminishing place in our lives, the fact is that the beliefs they espouse have never been more relevant. In the wake of Newtown and all the other tragedies worldwide, more and more we've had to rely on some kind of a God to get us through. Increase children' exposure to people and ideas that will help them develop a strong moral code. That is, in a world where evil often trumps good, religion can't hurt. It's perhaps one reason why even the most liberal politicians are more frequently recognizing God, and asking for blessings, in their public addresses. Luckily, children have a natural curiosity about religion, from why one family celebrates Christmas and another Hanukkah to wondering who, and where, God is. Without a structured way to understand religion, though, kids -- like Sam -- often attempt to make sense of it themselves. As they should. Of course, raising a child with a religious practice, or even awareness, can be tricky for parents who don't practice one themselves, or who aren't quite sure what they believe -- when they are "nones." Parents can show respect for religious tradition while also talking to kids about what parts of it don't seem relevant to them, or to their family. Like any difficult topic that arises during parenting, though, the best approach isn't simply to ignore it or shrug it off. Instead, frame a conversation with honesty and flexibility and a willingness to let them ask questions. You won't have all the answers, certainly not "definites." The important thing is to let them ask.

'Big Questions' to discuss technology and spirituality

How is technology changing the face of spirituality?Can technology meet our spiritual needs?What happens when faith goes digital?

These are some of the questions expected to be answered Thursday at Big Questions.

Big Questions is an event designed to bring students, faculty and staff together to discuss significant topics that resonate with the TCU community, Daniel Terry, the director of the university's sophomore and junior experience, said.

The discussion Thursday will be focused on how todays technology is changing the way we perceive ourselves, the world and spirituality, Terry said.

In todays age, technology is becoming a big part of our lives, and its important to discuss how it is affecting our spirituality and whether it is making us more or less religious, Henry Mak, a first yearhonors cabinet member who helped plan the discussion, said.

The Student Development Services at the university in coordination with the John V. Roach Honors College developed and planned the Big Questions series of discussions.

This will be the first of two Big Questions discussions scheduled to take place this semester, Terry said.

Mak said the goal of these discussions is to get students and faculty together to discuss important topics that might not be addressed in everyday conversations.

Sage Elwell, assistant professor of religion, will be opening the discussion Thursday.Elwell is currently researching how digital technology is impacting many core human experiences, according to the university'sdepartment of religions website.

Big Questions will take place Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the Mary Wright Admission Center.Food will be provided free of charge.All university students and staff are welcome to attend the discussion.
