A brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes so most of us should have heard of a brain aneurysm right? According to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal in about 40% of cases. Of those who survive, about 66% suffer some permanent neurological deficit. This blog is dedicated to brain aneurysm survivors who have inspiring recovery stories, caregivers who are in need of support, and families who lost a loved one to a brain aneurysm. Every person touched by a brain aneurysm says AWARENESS is essential.
There are stories of someone entering the hospital ER with a massive headache and are sent home with aspirin, eventually the aneurysm ruptures, leaving them disabled. There are also stories about a young woman sitting in the ER with a massive headache, throwing up in a trash can with a massive brain bleed. These people were lucky but suffering from a brain aneurysm never crossed their mind. Nor did it occur to me after covering numerous health stories as a Chicago radio reporter. I knew Chi
It was calm on the plains Thursday night as the Ellicott School District 22 board met — with three El Paso County sheriff’s deputies on hand, just in case.

It wasn’t all roses, though. A couple of speakers, including recalled former board member Gary Lake, made critical comments and asked that answers to lists of questions they presented be posted on the district website. Their remarks drew polite applause.
That the speakers were able to sign up at the meeting and speak moments later was a dramatic change. It was the first time in about a year that onlookers could address the board without signing up two days in advance.
The new board ended that old policy last week. Some had vowed to take that action when they ran for the board and pledged to restore the community’s voice. The res
After a brief hiatus, the K Kast is back. This week we expand on my story that looked at why some of Washington’s top recruits have decided to spurn the Huskies and leave the state.
We also discuss the maturity of this year’s Blue Chip prospects and the immaturity of the anonymous people who disparage these teenagers on message boards and in the comments sections of stories and blog posts.
We also talk about the Husky hoops team and the NFL.
This image, which appeared in the November 1974 Training and Development Journal, illustrates the three factors that affect sales calls. While so many training programs spend most of the time on the content of the call, this image illustrates the need to also concentrate on interpersonal relations and communications skills.
Does your training programs concentrate too much on the message or product information instead of interpersonal communication skills?
