Blinded In Separate Accidents, Two Men Share Common Bond

Blinded In Separate Accidents, Two Men Share Common Bond

Two strangers, blinded in separate traffic accidents two years earlier, meet and discover a startling coincidence.

Kingwood, TX (PRWEB) March 22, 2007

When Marcus Engel and Ron Graham met at the Seeing Eye, Inc. in Morristown, New Jersey, in 1995, they knew they had something in common. Both were blind and had come to the guide dog facility to get their first Seeing Eye dogs.

Then they learned that both had lost their sight in automobile accidents. As they continued to talk, they soon discovered a startling coincidence. Both accidents had occurred two years earlier on exactly the same date, October 9, 1993.

Engel's accident was on a cold autumn night in St. Louis during his freshman year of college when he was 18. Following a hockey game, Engel and some friends were headed to a local diner. As they pulled into a busy intersection, a speeding driver slammed broadside into their car. Along with other injuries, every bone in Engel's face was broken by the impact.

When Graham's accident happened, he was a 31-year-old captain in the Texas prison system. Graham had been driving on a dark West Texas road near Lubbock, lost control on a curve, and flipped the car into a cotton field. Thrown from the vehicle, he ended up face down in the dirt with broken bones and severe head trauma.

With their life-threatening injuries, both Engel and Graham spent months in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. Demonstrating similar determination and positive attitudes, each decided to treat his blindness as an inconvenience and not a barrier.

After receiving training with his guide dog, Engel returned to Missouri State University and earned a Bachelors Degree in Communications. He began speaking to groups about his experiences and is now a professional speaker, teaching audiences how to overcome adversity, make intelligent choices and see obstacles as opportunities. He has resided in St. Louis for several years and is in the process of moving to Orlando where he and his fiancée plan to live after their marriage this year.

Engel, 31, has written two books. His autobiography, "After This…An Inspirational Journey For All The Wrong Reasons," challenges readers to recognize that choices, not circumstances, determine happiness. He also is author of "The Other End Of The Stethoscope…33 Insights For Excellent Patient Care," a book about the challenges faced by health care providers that limit their ability to provide excellent patient care. Engel also writes a blog and maintains a website, www. marcusengel. com.

After Graham's training at Seeing Eye, he focused on a new goal of becoming a counselor for people with disabilities. Graham entered the University of Houston-Clear Lake and earned a Bachelors Degree in Behavioral Science, and a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. He later served as Coordinator of Disability Support Services at Central Texas College in Killeen, TX.

Today, Graham, 44, is married and lives in Kingwood, TX, where he produces a blog called Access Ability. The blog, www. accessability. blogspot. com, is targeted to college professionals in the disability support services field. Graham uses the blog to publish information about disability resources and to provide a forum for disability professionals and disabled students to share their knowledge and opinions.

Since that fateful meeting in 1995, Engel and Graham have become very good friends. As each of them has worked to inspire other people over the years, they also have provided inspiration for each other with their successful lives.

SALSA Hosts Homeland Security and Biodefense Summit in South Central Texas

SALSA Hosts Homeland Security and Biodefense Summit in South Central Texas

Gathering Brings Private and Public Sector Experts Together to Implement Actions that Will Partner Texas BioDefense Capabilities to Strengthen Homeland Security and National Defense

(PRWEB) April 21, 2004

San Antonio Life Sciences Association (SALSA) announced today that Texas will play host to a national conference on homeland security. The Summit, to be chaired by SALSA President, Mary Pat Moyer, Ph. D., CEO and Chief Science Officer of INCELL Corporation and TEKSA Innovations Corp., will bring together national experts, biotechnology companies and key government officials to focus on the research, development and deployment of new Texas programs and technologies that will improve homeland security and strengthen the nationÂ’s military and civilian biodefense activities.

The conference, entitled “Texas BioDefense: Getting to Action,” will be held at the T-Bar-M Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas on April 29 - 30, 2004. Key speakers from government, university, and industry who are positioned in the Homeland Defense and Security sectors will address critical national security issues, regional actions and initiatives in biodefense and homeland security, chemical-biological defense tools and perspectives, taking preparedness to the next level and integrating translational research, product manufacturing and education.

Currently the growing list of keynote speakers and moderators include Dr. Harold Timboe, VP, UTHSCSA and former Commander, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Judge Jay Kimbrough, Texas GovernorÂ’s Office of Homeland Security, Dr. Ron Blanck, President, University of North Texas HSC, Dr. Jay Valdes, Scientific Advisor for Biotechnology to US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, Dr. Johnathan Kiel, Senior AFRL/USAF Scientist, Brooks CityBase, Dr. Scott Lillibridge, Director, Center for Biosecurity and Public Health Preparedness UTHSCH and former Director for CDC Biopreparedness, Dr. John T. McDevitt, Professor University of Texas at Austin, Dr. David Gorenstein, UTMB Medical School Office of Translational Research, Dr. Doug Watts, NIAID Regional Research Center for Excellence, UTMB Galveston, Dr. Randy Goldsmith, SATAI Network, San Antonio; Dr. Kathy Sykes, Vaccines Director, Macrogenics Inc.; Dr. Steve Kornguth, Institute for Advanced Technology, University of Texas at Austin; Dr. Eric Stephens, Human Systems, Brooks City-Base and Technology Research; Dr. Rasa Silenas, TC-MEDSTAR, and Dr. Steve Presley, Research Coordinator, AZ National Program for Countermeasures to Biological and Chemical Threats, Texas Tech University.

"Texas has an incredibly rich history of military, academic, medical and technological innovations that lie at the heart of Texas’ ability to play a major role in global biodefense,” said Dr. Moyer. “However, because Texas is a large state with many strong programs, it is important to bring together the various communities of scientists, government officials, medical doctors, public health specialists, and industry to develop more integrated partnerships and collaborative strategies to further strengthen Texas activities and leadership in the biodefense and Homeland Security sectors.”

The event will center on how Texas government, industry and academic groups can work together at the local, state and federal levels to implement actions that will bring about significant and lasting change to thwart the threat of bioterrorism and to improve public health.

The San Antonio-Austin Life Science Association (www. bio-salsa. org) is a Texas grassroots membership organization that sponsors programs and fosters actions related to life science industry issues in education, technology commercialization, government policies, community relations, workforce, and regional public relations and marketing.

New DVD Highlights Role of Social Workers

New DVD Highlights Role of Social Workers

National Professional Social Work Month brings to light instrumental role of the profession, including help provided to people with disabilities

(Vocus) March 13, 2008

With National Professional Social Work Month in March, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is raising the profile of the 600,000 social workers across the country who help individuals, families and their communities. Organizations, including Allsup, which is a national Social Security Disability Insurance representation company, are helping to communicate this year’s theme, “Building on Strengths: Help Starts Here.”

“The foundation for the growth and change in any individual, family or community is existing strengths,” said Elizabeth Clark, PhD, ACSW, MPH, executive director of NASW. “Social workers are trained from the ‘strengths perspective,’ emphasizing the assets and resources available, and using those assets to reach their goals.”

The strengths approach fosters hope by focusing on the positive, rather than feelings of helplessness—an important perspective for people with disabilities. Social workers provide a variety of assistance to people with disabilities, whose ailments may be mental illness, chronic disease or physical injury. Often, these debilitating circumstances mean individuals no longer can work.

Social workers:
 Assist people with counseling and psychosocial adjustments to their disability.  Facilitate access to community resources, such as home health services, clinics, transportation.  Initiate discussions about personal finances, including the repercussion of lost income and benefits following a disability.  Provide caregiver and family training to cope with a disability or progressive disease.  Refer individuals to disease-related support groups.

According to the NASW, social workers provide more mental health services than psychologists, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses combined. Common specialty practice areas for social workers are:
 Mental health: 37 percent   Child and family welfare: 13 percent  Health: 13 percent   Aging: 9 percent

A new DVD, “On Any Given Day: Social Workers Help,” is being distributed by the NASW Foundation at a cost of $5.50. It depicts the experiences of three social workers, including a hospital social worker who supports trauma patients and their families.

Allsup is saluting the NASW and related organizations with free posters highlighting National Professional Social Work Month. Posters are available to hospitals, clinics and other community groups by calling Karen Hercules-Doerr at (800) 854-1418, ext. 5770.

Is Traditional Nutrition Making Us Fat?

Is Traditional Nutrition Making Us Fat?

With all the hype regarding what diet is best for us, why not let the body decide? A truly unique individualised nutrition prgram is finally here.

(PRWEB) August 4, 2005

With all the hype regarding what diet is best for us, why not let the body decide? A truly unique individualized nutrition program is finally here.

Do You Want:

•  Permanent Weight Loss?

•  Decreased Cravings and Freedom from Hunger between Meals?

•  Feeling Young at Any Age?

•  Increased Concentration and sense of well being?

•  High Energy and Peak Performance?

Then this is the diet for you. Really just for you. For this diet - Metabolic Typing - is unique in that it creates an eating plan designed just for you.

At last a truly customized diet plan is here. No longer do you have to be content with a one diet fits all approach. It is time to realize that we are all very different and should therefore have highly individualized nutrition. Metabolic Typing arms you with the knowledge about which food are good for your health and which ones are not. No longer will you have to waste money on the wrong foods or supplements you donÂ’t even need. ThatÂ’s not all; you can eat as much as you like of the right food choices. There is no pain staking calorie counting and no hunger frenzied calorie restrictions. You just eat the right foods for your type. Simple.

Metabolic Typing is split into four levels, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Comprehensive. At Total Life Balance we use the Intermediate level, which provides an analysis of the Autonomic Nervous System, the Oxidative System and the Endocrine System and the influences these have on you as an individual.

Depending on which system is the dominant factor, relates to what foods need to be eaten. For example Slow Oxidative Dominant individuals need to eat a greater percentage of carbohydrate based foods compared to proteins and fats. On the other hand a Parasympathetic Dominant person would need higher proportions of protein and fats and fewer carbohydrates.

Once this information is known you can simply start eating the right food for you. Even simpler is the fact that all you do to find your Fundamental Metabolic Type is to answer an online questionnaire with questions related to Physiology, Diet and Psychological traits. The answers are analyzed within 48 hours, and you receive the results via e-mail or post. You receive everything that is needed to start, you have a food list of all the foods you can eat, and you have sample menus to help you out. A specific supplement list means you no longer have to guess what to take. To help you out even more a 30-45 minute consultation with a highly trained advisor is included to help explain the results and answer any questions. The consultation is over the phone for even more convenience. You are then ready to reap the benefits.

Lose Your Weight, Not Your Mind (Useful Advice For Sensible Weight Loss)

Lose Your Weight, Not Your Mind (Useful Advice For Sensible Weight Loss)

A new website which presents valuable information and resources specifically on the subject of weight loss. Since it is impossible to create a diet that is optimal for everyone, learn how to create an individualized diet and exercise plan that will work for you. Tips and advice about "fad" diets, so-called weight loss products, and the dangers of being overweight. Learn how/where to get the support and motivation you need for successful weight loss.

(PRWEB) March 16, 2005

There are as many reasons for people dieting as there are people. Perhaps it is a special, doctor-advised regimen meant to control or prevent certain illnesses such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Maybe a diet is required due to particular food allergies, or perhaps it is a lifestyle choice like following a vegetarian routine. However, most people who are dieting are doing so because they are overweight.

According to the National Institutes of Health(NIH), in 1999, almost 108 million adults in the United States were overweight or obese--55 percent of the adult population. Being obese or overweight substantially increases the risk of morbidity from hypertension; type 2 diabetes; coronary heart disease; stroke; gallbladder disease; osteoarthritis; sleep apnea; and breast, prostate and colon cancers. In addition to the thousands of lives that are cut short by obesity, the economic cost is staggering. The total costs attributable to obesity-related disease approaches $100 billion annually (NIH). As Dr. Claude Lenfant, Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) said, "Overweight and obesity pose a major public health challenge."

There are many reasons to lose weight. To be healthier. To feel better. To look better. To have more energy. To live longer. No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible goals and expectations. In fact, losing even five to 10 percent of your present weight is the kind of goal that can help improve your health. Experts suggest aiming for a loss of 10 to 20 pounds which is very realistic and quite doable. Did you know that 20 pounds equals 9,072 paper clips, or 1,599 quarters, 480 slices of uncooked bacon or 2.5 bowling balls?

For great tips and easy to follow advice for healthy and sensible weight loss, visit http://www. WeightLossWill. com (http://www. WeightLossWill. com) Learn about food portion control and simple excercises that can result in a slimmer, healthier, more productive and more self-confident you.

What you weigh is the result of several factors: how much and what kind of food you eat; whether your lifestyle includes regular physical activity; whether you use food to respond to stress or loneliness; your psychological and genetic make-up; your age and health status.

Successful weight loss and weight management programs should address all of these factors. That's the reason to ignore products or plans that promise quick and easy, permanent results without permanent changes in your lifestyle. When it comes to evaluating claims for weight loss products, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends a healthy portion of skepticism. Before you spend money on programs or products that promise fast and easy results, weigh the claims carefully. They probably will not work, and the use of some products may not be safe.

Food specific diets rely on the myth that some foods have special properties that can cause weight loss or gain. However, no single food can. Many of the fad diets--like the infamous Cabbage Soup Diet--can undermine your health, cause physical discomfort (gas) and lead to disappointment when you regain the weight soon after you lose it. There are no "superfoods." That's why you should eat moderate amounts from all food groups, not large amounts of a few special foods.

Doctors, dieticians, and other health experts agree that the best way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so you burn more energy. A reasonable goal is to lose about a pound a week. For most people that means cutting about 500 calories a day and exercising regularly.

Taking charge of your eating habits is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Staying motivated is a large part of your success, because most diets work--if you stick to them for the long term. Most successful dieters tell researchers that they lost weight and kept it off by doing their own thing. They devised a personal plan of eating and exercise which they could stick with. And you can do it too!
