By the grace of God by Pastor Ed Young
I have improved in this area by the grace of God, and because I spend time with Him daily, and am sensitive to the elbowing of the Holy Spirit. Are you saying yes to your spouse? Are you saying yes to your kids? How about it parents?
Are you most concerned about setting sale records at work, and being a five handicap golfer or are you saying that you will spend quality time with your family and that you will show them that your yes means yes.
I read a while ago that the toughest problems children have to deal with are broken promises from their parents. "Someday I will take you fishing." "Someday we will go outside and throw a football around." "Someday I will take you camping." Let your yes be yes.
People ask me a lot about my background, specifically about my parents. They may know that my middle brother, Ben, 34, is a pastor of the largest singles area in any church in the country and the only guy with a nationally syndicated Christian talk show just for singles.
Commitment by Pastor Ed Young
But I felt nudge and when I couldn't stand it any more, I said, "Lisa, I am sorry. I was totally wrong and I want to apologize to you Laurie, to you Landra, to you EJ, and to you Lee Beth.
I said a hurtful thing to your Mom and I was wrong. These words were tough to say but I am glad that I said them. Because I sincerely believe that words like this mark our children more then anything that we could ever tell them or more than anything that we could ever give them. They saw commitment.
They saw conflict resolution. They saw love. And they saw life lived on the rugged plains of reality.
Now don't sit there an say, "Oh, I bet he is just a perfect husband. He is a pastor." No, I am a fellow struggler like you. But I will tell you one thing.
We exist for God by Pastor Ed Young
Also wanna meet, I want you to meet Adhonai. Adhonai. This word Adhonai has to do with dominion. Its much easier for us to call God El Shaddai to pour forth than it is to call him Adhonai, dominion. The implications of, of this name, Adhonai, has to do with, with, ugh, dominion. It has to do with stewardship; it has to do with management. In other words, this name carries forth with it that God owns it all, thus I'm not an owner. I am a manager.
Now let that settle in. I'm not an owner; I'm a manager. Some of you walked in here today thinking you have stuff. You don't have jack! You don't own anything. I've done a lot of funerals and I've never seen a U-Haul trailer behind a hearse. It's not gonna happen. (audience laughter) When you clock out, it's just you, baby. Yeah, but how about this or that? You don't have a thing. Now here's what's so funny.
People spend all this time trying to stack up all the stuff. And that's cool if you have stuff, but, but what's the meaning of life? To do deals and die? Is that it? I recreate, propriate, and then clock out? That's, that's the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to worship. God does not exist for us, we exist for God. We can't make God do what we want; we are a mirror of his majesty.
Everything we do, say, touch and feel should be an act of worship. How we manage our stuff, our tangible stuff, and how we manage our stuff, our intangible stuff matters to God. How you steward and how I steward my gifts and abilities and aptitudes; how you steward and I steward my money, and my home, and cars and all that stuff, that matters to God.
Following Jesus by Pastor Ed Young
No. A personal relationship is what I try to communicate. And also, I try to communicate the implications of that of following Jesus. I say following Christ is like marriage. You say, "I do," and you don't realize the implications of that decision until later on. I've been married for almost 25 years and I'm still discovering the implications of that decision. The same is true with Jesus Christ. You receive Christ and you realize the implications of that as you walk and talk and live in sync with him.
The second goal in my life is to show people that they matter. You matter to God. You're not an after thought. You're not an accident. You're a one of a kind. You have unique gifts and abilities and aptitudes and talents that no one else has. You have something to bring to the table that I can't bring to the table. I have something to bring to the table that you can't bring to the table.
Well, how do I discover that? I discover that by this vertical thing. I have a passion for props. When I get my primary props from God, I'm on my way. But let me add to the definition.
A healthy self-esteem is seeing myself the way God sees me, but it also is surrounding myself with the right "they." Because the right "they" give me the secondary props. God gives me the primary props. The right "they" gives me the secondary props. And the right "they" reflect Jesus back to me and they encourage me and support me to look vertically to Jesus.
Who are "they" in your life? You reflect they; they reflect you. If you've got the wrong "they" in your life you don't know who you are. You have no clue about your identity. If you've got the right "they" in your life, I'll bet cash money that you know who you are because they're pointing you to Jesus Christ.
Gen Next by Pastor Ed Young
You know what happened to me the other day? It was kind of crazy. I was speaking at a conference. It was about two months ago, in fact, and while I was at the conference I met this guy and we were just talking and he said, "Hey Ed, can I borrow your pen?" Now, for most people that is not a big question, I mean, that's not a big deal. But for me, it is pretty major because I love pens.
I'm a frustrated artist. I majored in the fine arts. I collect pens. I don't like to give my pens to other people to use. I am just kind of weird about the pens. So he asked me, "Hey, can I borrow your pen?" So begrudgingly, I took the pen out of my briefcase and gave it to him.
I had kind of this white knuckle grip on the pen. He took the pen and began to write with it. And I was thinking to myself, "He is bearing down too hard." Then, he put the cap back on the pen and looked at me and he said, "This is a nice pen." I heard a little voice inside of me say, "Give him the pen. Give him the pen." And I said to the little voice, "No, I like the pen. I need the pen. I have to write with the pen."
So I took the pen away from him, put it in my briefcase in a special slot reserved for my special pens, closed my briefcase, and went on throughout the day. Well, that night in the hotel room I was thinking, "You know what? I should have given the guy the pen. I mean, what's a pen? Yeah, it's an expensive pen. The pen cost like 90‑something dollars. I should have given him the pen. I should have blessed the guy with the pen, but I said, 'No.' "
Taking Hold by Pastor Ed Young
How many of you know what a gar is? A gar fish? You know, a fish with giant teeth?
ILLUS: Friday, I went fishing for a gar and a friend of mine hooked a big one. This gar was right under 6 feet long. So I grabbed the gar's bill with these gloves and of course a gar has teeth all over the bill. That's why I had gloves on. And I was holding onto this big fish, and the fish began to thrash and, well, I have a serious gar scar now.
You see all of the teeth? He busted a blood vessel. You know you're a redneck if you have been bitten by a gar. The lesson is, don't hold onto a gar. You'll pay for it.
Friday was kind of a weird day. I kayaked after my gar injury and after I talked to my doctor and I was putting my kayak up, I fell off of a rock about 4 feet and totally messed my knee up and I fell into a fire ant bed. I have fire ant bites all over my legs.
Let's talk about change. That's why we're here, right? We can't change unless we admit that we can't. We've got to say, "I can't change." Once we do that, then we're on our way to change. A lot of us have played this game. I have played it and so have you. The cover up game.
We've covered up stuff. What are you covering up right now? If we could really look into your heart of hearts, what are you covering? Maybe you're saying, "Well, anger. I rage on people. I have this toxicity about me. I have tried to count to ten. I have discovered this anger management book. But, you know what, it's not really working for me."
Others are like, "Okay, substance abuse is my situation. I'm covering up this abuse with some sort of substance and no one really knows my whole situation, my secret." Others here could be addicted to sex or food or envy. Maybe that's your deal.
Sweep It by Pastor Ed Young
God's way works. When we begin to tithe, and I don't care how far in debt you are, God will supernaturally show up and bless you and give you the discipline to live by a plan. So bring it.
Sweep It
The second one is, sweep it. Do that with me. Sweep it. Start saving money. Save, save, save. How many people in here go to Fivebucks? I'm sorry, I mean Starbucks. And I like Starbucks. I think coffee is God's drink to man. I love it. If you are going to Starbucks, you are going to spend $5. I am not hating on Starbucks, I like Starbucks, but let me give you an example. Let's say you like a triple shot latte, nonfat. That's going to cost you $5. Well, let's just say you decide for the next 40 years to forego the triple shot, nonfat latte. Let's say you took that $5 and you swept into an interest bearing account. And let's say that account kicked off 10% interest. Let's say you've got $5, that is $35 a week, about $150 a month. In 40 years you would have a grand total of, I have to read this number, I did the math last night, $948,611. I will say it again. $948,611!
I am just giving you a Starbucks example. That is just $5 a day. Think of what you could do with 2% of your income, 3% of your income, 10% of your income. Sweep it, sweep it, sweep it. Because remember Proverbs 13:11? He who gathers money little by little makes it grow. Also, Proverbs says, "Go to the ant…" You know what the ant does? We all have ants everywhere. Ants store stuff up. And that's what we're doing as we're involved with this.
Thing with God by Pastor Ed Young
That's interesting and as you look through Scripture, too, there's a power in this whole financial thing, in this whole transaction thing with God. We see it in Genesis. We see it throughout the New Testament, this transaction, this business stuff. Everything's about finances. Jesus talked more about money than he talked about Heaven or Hell. Eighteen of the 38 parables are all about money. Jesus was always talking about money. God is talking about money a lot. Why? Well, God knew that I would struggle with it. He knew you would struggle with it. There's something about something that's tangible that kind of messes us up. It kind of freaks us out.
Jesus said one day in Matthew 6: 21, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." Wow! Where your treasure is that's where my heart's going to be. So God's saying, Ed okay you say you trust me. You say you don't lean on your own understanding. You say you acknowledge me in your ways, show me the money. Show me the money. And throughout Scripture we see the power of this principle. We see the power of God's portion. Later on it was called the tithe.
What does "tithe" mean? "Tithe" means "tent." Tent. Everything I make or you make should be brought where? To the house of worship. We are not giving. I hope you know I'm not talking about giving. I am not talking about giving. I'm talking about bringing. The Bible says we're to bring the tithe, God's portion, to where? The local house of worship. That's what we're to do. And it's interesting to see how many blessings are tied into this whole tithing thing.
Living the life by Pastor Ed Young
And suddenly, I am talking about out of nowhere, for no rhyme or reason—in fact I was talking to my brother about this situation last night. He said, "Ed I can't talk about it because it makes me angry." But out of nowhere in the middle of this big game the coach benched me. He didn't play me. He totally betrayed me.
I was by far the best person on the team, talking to all of these major colleges around the county, and I was just there stuck on the bench. My whole world was spinning out of control.
My thing was basketball. That's what I did. That's what I worked on. I looked and to my shock and dismay, this guy totally and completely betrayed me. I trusted him, and he turned on me. It was horrendous. I was in the pit of betrayal.
Bitterness and anger welled up in my life, and I began to lash out at God. I began to say, "God, why me? You know I'm a preacher's kid. I grew up in church, God. I am pure, I am holy, I am living the life, I am going to Bible study, and why me?"
Have you ever said that to God? Have you ever felt that way before? I mean I was only 17, at a defining moment in my life, and then all of my scholarship hopes, I thought, were just ripped from me. That was the first time I ever experienced betrayal.
Betrayal, you know, we don't call it betrayal anymore. Now and then we will, but today we say, "I was jammed, hosed, stabbed in the back, or messed around." Yet we don't call it what it is because when we say betrayal, it is too personal. It gets in our stuff. It comes into our kitchen and it gets between—if you are a woman, you and your make up. And if you are a guy, it gets up in your grill.
A prayer journal by Pastor Ed Young
Ed: This guy is good, isn't he? Go ahead Adam.
Adam: I do my devotional and then also I keep a journal. It's a prayer journal, writing down my prayers. Basically it's just whatever I have up here and putting it down on paper. You know, what I want from God, what I need to thank him for, just the stuff that's going on in my life. You can see how it grows and develops and how you've grown and the things that He has blessed you with and what he's answered. It's just a really cool thing and a really great way to grow.
Lisa: And Adam, didn't you write some study lessons out of your quiet time?
Adam: Well, there are so many programs in the Sr. High and the one that they have on Sunday mornings is the Foundry.
Ed: What time is that?
Adam: I believe it is at 10:00 now and that's for Sr. High students. You can go to that and it's just more intense than Wednesday night. It's more like intense worship and stuff like that. Dan Barnes, one of the pastors in the Sr. High, challenged anybody who felt like they wanted to, to write a devotional or something and they were going to try and put a book together for us to read. So I ended up writing one and he liked it and then I had to go up and talk in front of everybody and that was kind of nerve racking. But…
Ed: Yeah, it is kind of nerve racking.
Adam: But now I'm here in front of thousands of people so…
Lisa: But isn't it cool that here you have such an example. I mean we tend to look at our young people and think, "Well you know, what can come out of those years where there is so much turmoil and things going on?" Their lives change and I mean the productivity of a 19 year old.

Summary of Drunk Tank Pink Summary of Drunk Tank Pink Reviews for Drunk Tank Pink An Excerpt from Drunk Tank Pink
A revelatory look at how our environment unconsciously yet dramatically shapes the judgments and decisions we make every day
Most of us go through life believing that we are in control of the choices we make—that we think and behave almost independently from the world around us. But as Drunk Tank Pink illustrates, the truth is our environment shapes our thoughts and actions in myriad ways without our permission or even our knowledge. Armed with surprising data and endlessly fascinating examples, Adam Alter addresses the subtle but substantial ways in which outside forces influence us—such as color's influence on mood, our bias in favor of names with which we identify, and how sunny days can induce optimism as well as aggression. Drunk Tank Pink proves that the truth behind our feelings and actions goes much deeper than the choices we take for granted every day.

A Taste of Athens
A perfect introduction to the oldest and most historical neighborhood of Athens, begin this evening with an escorted walking tour of Plaka. Built around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, the district of Plaka is known as the neighborhood of the gods, referring not only to the numerous Archaeological sites, but also to the ancient gods of Greece and their passion for entertainment, drinking wine and dancing. While making your way through the labyrinth of small streets lined with souvenir shops selling leather, jewelry, replicas of archaelogical findings, also notice the neoclassical architecture. See the old houses, once mansions, with their red roof tiles, the Lysikrates Momument opposite Hadrians Arch and as you proceed along the main pedestrian street within Plaka called Andrianou Street, you will pass by the Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, the Bath house of the Winds, finally making your way towards the Greek taverna for dinner and entertainment.
Aegean Cruise
An early departure from the hotel with your Tour Director at approximately 7:15am, and drive to the designated port for embarkation on today's cruise of the Saronic Gulf. Departing at 8:00 am, begin sailing towards the island of Hydra, located approximately 37 nautical miles from the southern mainland. You will notice that donkeys are used for transportation on this small island as cars, by law, are prohibited. On Hydra you will stay approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes allowing for a walk around the shops along the quay or a swim in the Aegean Sea. Departing Hydra, en-route to the island of Poros, a Greek style buffet lunch is served with many of the local traditional foods including Greek salad, stuffed vine leaves, fish roe salad, beans, beetroot, tzatziki, local cheeses, and main courses with fish, beef, pork, chicken or vegetables are served.
By Night
Escorted by your Tour Director, depart from your hotel and make your way along the harbour front until you reach the port of the Caique boats. Here you will be welcomed on-board by the Captain and taken to the island of Bourtzi which is located approximately 450m from shore. You will have time to explore the Bourtzi Fortress, built to provide protection to the town of Nafplio mainly against pirates.
Olympia Archeological Site
"The tour today begins with your tour director escorting your group from the hotel to the Archaeological site of Olympia where you will meet your local Greek guide at the entrance to the site. Considered today as being one of the most interesting and educational sites you will find throughout the Peloponnese, Olympia is mostly famous for being the venue of the Ancient Olympic Games and home to the Olympic flame. Today you will see the remains of a gymnasium, ancient temples, the stadium, housing structures, and just outside the site, the archaeological museum hosting findings from the ancient site and from other excavations in the surrounding areas with well labeled exhibits including the famous statue of Hermes of Praxiteles and Nike Paionios.
Delphi Archeological Site
The sightseeing tour today begins with your Tour Director escorting you to the entrance of the Archaelogical site of Delphi where you will meet and continue with a local guide.

It isn't easy being a humpback chub in the Colorado River. Trout are prettier and even catfish are more cuddly. What's worse, as other fish flourish in these waters controlled by Glen Canyon Dam, the 4-million year old chub is going extinct.
But there's one thing the chub has that his neighbors don't -- a friend in high places. A federal court stepped in this month and told the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the dam, to change its dam operations to make them less harmful to species like the chub.
The Glen Canyon Dam creates unnatural ebbs and flows in the Colorado River, making the water more friendly for some species and more deadly for the chub and other wildlife.
As the National Park Service already observed, the bureau has steadfastly refused to change its dam operations despite spending tens of millions of dollars to study how the dam is killing the Grand Canyon and its wildlife.
The Glen Canyon Dam changed the Colorado River from one that seasonally raged with torrents of snowmelt runoff from the Rocky Mountains to a mild-mannered stream, controlled by the hand of engineers. The river today no longer enjoys the natural building of sand bars and backwaters needed by native fish to survive.
The situation can be reversed simply by changing dam water releases, utilizing science and experiments the government already has done.
The Glen Canyon Dam was built before we understood what kind of damage it would do to the Colorado River. The court ruling recognizes that and is sending the old dam operations plan back to the dam operators to update using the newest science.

Andrew Fabella, are you out there?
Please report to post-op at Keck Hospital of USC early Monday morning.
I'm coming back to have the other knee done.
That's right, folks, I'm kicking off the new year by getting a partial right knee replacement because my medial cartilage is cottage cheese and I'm bone on bone, just like I was on the left knee. I need to be in top shape this year because I've got mayoral candidates to chase and a 9-year-old daughter who's already too much for me to handle on the tennis courts.
Last August, the surgery was a breeze, but I had a little surprise in post-op. A heart arrhythmia was a bigger problem than anyone knew, and my ticker went on strike for half a minute or so. Fabella, a nurse, saw me flat-line and started chest compressions, which brought me out of sudden cardiac arrest.
Some readers have questioned my sanity in going back for more, but I feel pretty good about it. As several doctors have pointed out, my knee problem may have saved my life, revealing a condition for which I now have a pacemaker.
Besides, I've heard from lots of readers who rave about the surgeon we share: Dr. Daniel Oakes. Same with my cardiologist, Dr. Leslie Saxon, who told me she'll drop by post-op to make sure I don't try any new tricks.
What I dread, more than surgery, is having to strap my leg into the continuous passive motion machine for six hours a day when I get home from the hospital. While you're flat on your back staring at the ceiling, the monotonous motion machine bends your leg, it straightens your leg. Bend. Straighten. Bend. Straighten.
Six hours of this.
The police should strap suspects into these things. They'll confess to anything.
The other thing I dread is the stream of medical mail that is guaranteed to land in my mailbox every few days, every last bit of it entirely indecipherable.
BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois keeps sending me things that say, "This is not a bill."
Then don't send it to me.
It's not as if anything in the correspondence makes sense. And then there's always the line that says, "Amount you may owe provider."
If they're not sure, how can I be?
I was notified by the insurance company last time that home physical therapy was not a covered expense. I'm guessing they'd rather have your knee lock up until your leg has to be amputated, ruling out any future billing for osteoarthritis.
I was looking for a number to call, so I could contest the decision, when I discovered on the last page of a six-page waste of paper that I "may be eligible" to receive my "adverse determination" in several languages. According to this document, I could be denied coverage in Spanish, Tagalog, Chinese or Navajo.
Sure, send one of each.
A Keck medical assistant told me to ignore the denial and get the physical therapy while the insurance company bean counters and medical administrators fought it out.
Can't they all just get along?

IBM Melds Crime-fighting, Big Data Analytics in One Security Package
IBM today came out with its first iteration of the analytics software package that it expects will help law enforcement, government agencies and private businesses wade through the massive amounts of data they collect to help them predict, disrupt and prevent criminal, terrorist and fraudulent activities.
Tue, May 01, 2012
Network World — IBM today came out with its first iteration of the analytics software package that it expects will help law enforcement, government agencies and private businesses wade through the massive amounts of data they collect to help them predict, disrupt and prevent criminal, terrorist and fraudulent activities.
The package, IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis portfolio, is based on the security software it picked up last year when it bought i2. Law enforcement agencies and corporate security departments use i2's software to pinpoint fraudulent or improper activity within their logs of operational data. The company's Analyst's Notebook digital forensic software can display a visual diagram of people, places or other entities, showing how different parties are linked.
IBM: Analytics, mobile, cloud, social applications will drive future IT developmentA
GARTNER: The top 10 strategic technology trends for 2012
According to an IDG New Service report at the time of the buy, i2 had more than 4,500 customers across 150 countries. The company said that 12 of the top 20 retail banks use its software. The Boston Police Department and the Criminal Justice System in Orange County, Calif., share criminal data through i2's Coplink platform. In a $9.6 million contract, the U.S. Army procured an enterprise license to use Analyst's Notebook in its troubled Distributed Common Ground Systems -- Army (DCGS-A) intelligence sharing system. Defense contractor Northrop Grumman folded i2's Coplink into a system it is providing to the Navy to track criminal information from multiple sources.
Last fall, IBM said it would bring together i2 technology with its own data collection, analysis and warehousing software. And today's announcement is an example of what Big Blue plans to do.
With the rollout today IBM said the package will give customers powerful visualization and analysis capabilities coupled with advanced data access to help organizations to manage and process information in less time, giving them more time to spend on analysis.
In addition i2 supports:
aC/Association, network, link, temporal, geospatial, and statistical analysis to help build a comprehensive analytical picture, revealing relationships, patterns and trends in data that can help save time and increase efficiency.
aC/Social Network Analysis (SNA) and quantitative analysis techniques that combine organization theories with mathematical models to help better understand and target the dynamics of groups, networks, and organizations.
aC/Collaborative working capabilities that support the greater organization in working together on cases, supporting sharing, teamwork, and inter- and intra-organizational communication, helping investigations to be resolved more quickly.
aC/Advanced connectivity and multi-source, simultaneous search capabilities that automate and accelerate the lengthy research process of capturing, collating, and enriching data.

Our flat screen LED televisions are perfect for almost any lounge and can be wall mounted or placed on a slimline stand.
Each top brand model has a contemporary, sleek and sophisticated look to make you the envy of all your friends, family and neighbours.
Over the past few years, LED televisions have become more and more popular in homes across the country. As well as being incredibly stylish, these beauties consume approximately 30-40% less power compared to Plasma and LCD models.

Our screens can be easily hung on the wall or stood elegantly in the corner of a room. Model sizes range from 26 – 65 inches, so you can easily find a TV to suit the size and shape of your living room.
Samsung Smart TVs allow you to transform your home entertainment system with superior picture and sound qualities for a more vivid, realistic experience.

Put on your 3D glasses (included with Samsung TVs), sit back, relax and enjoy a cinematic experience from the comfort of your own home.

English for Professional or Academic Success is a 15-week program comprised of intermediate and advanced-level courses that is designed for either degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking students. Participants earn academic credits from IUPUC.
EAP testing is designed to measure the level of language support and assistance for undergraduate and graduate students who want to take English classes in order to communicate effectively to succeed in the classroom and workplace.
Based on your score on the EAP placement test, we will advise you about registering for appropriate courses. Except for W130 and W131, credits from Option 2 courses will not count toward a degree; however, grades awarded will be added to your grade point average.
The course sequence—ENG-G009, ENG-G010, ENG-G011, and ENG-G012—focuses on fundamental language skills. It is designed to improve your pronunciation, listening comprehension, and ability to participate actively and effectively in a range of communication situations, from simple conversations to classroom discussions.
Although emphasis is on proficiency in speaking English, basic reading, writing, and study skills are essential components of these courses. You will complete required EAP courses before enrolling in G013 or EAP W131, with the exception of G012, which may be taken simultaneously with those two courses.

The Hard Rock Cafe has a fantastic collection Chicagoans might want to check out.
"Gone Too Soon" celebrates legendary musicians whose lives and careers were cut tragically short.
The touring collection of memorabilia gives visitors a nostalgic look at artists they knew before their end, and introduces them to those who never got to know their music or see them perform in their prime.
In dying so young, these musicians can be "forever young" for fans.
In Monday's Patrick's People and Places, Mr. Elwood gave Good Day Chicago viewers a preview.
Do you have a tip or story idea you'd like to submit for "Patrick's People and Places" segment? Send it to us!

10 Current Security Threats for Individuals
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
We now live in a world where new threats are poised to cause us harm in ways most of us never dreamed possible. The convenience and benefits of Internet access, always-on connectivity, and mobile devices have made us vulnerable to these attacks. It is time for us to adopt a new set of street smarts - technology skepticism. Blindly trusting electronic resources, connectivity, or services is placing us, our identities, our finances, and our privacy at risk. Pay attention and take precautions. An ounce of prevention is absolutely better than a pound of cure.

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Do you have a question about your child's health? This section offers information that may help you.
View age-appropriate health information for your child.
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
To make sure our hospital or neighborhood facility is a safe place for you and your child, Children's has the following safety guidelines:
Why does my child need an ID band?
All patients in the hospital must wear an ID band. This helps keep your child safe by letting our staff know that they are giving a medicine or treatment to the right child. Even if the staff knows your child, they should read the ID band.
Can I give my child medicines from home?
Do not give your child ANY medicines from home. This includes vitamins, herbs, supplements or over-the-counter medicines. The hospital will provide all of your child's medicines.
Take all of your child's medicines back home with you. Do not keep ANY medicines in your child's room or at your child's bedside.
My child has an isolation sign up on the door. What does this mean?
Your child may have an illness that could easily spread and make you and others sick. Sometimes, extra care is needed to help prevent the spread of the illness. Each type of illness and isolation has special guidelines to follow.
*Please Speak Up! Ask your child's nurse what you need to do if your child has one of these signs or if you do not know what to do.
How can I help prevent falls?
When a child is sick, taking certain medicines or undergoing certain procedures, his chance of falling is increased. If a child falls and gets hurt, the hospital stay can be longer than it should be. This may add to the stress of being sick.
To help prevent falls:
Please do not allow your child to:
Tell your child's caregiver right away if your child falls.
If one of my child's monitors is beeping, what should I do?
Most medical equipment has an alarm to help keep your child safe. Please do not turn off the alarms.
When the alarm sounds, use the nurse call button to let the nurse know something needs to be checked. If someone does not come right away, please leave the alarm on. Then push the nurse call button again. If needed, go out into the hallway and get a nurse.
Can I sleep in the same bed as my child?
Sleeping in the same bed with your child can cause him harm. This is especially true if your child is:
Instead, move your child's crib or bed closer to your bed if his equipment allows. This will make it easier for you to care for and feed your child. Other children and adults are also not allowed to share a bed with your child.
Ask your child's nurse for other safe sleeping ideas. Also ask for ideas about how to be closer to your child without getting into the same bed with him.
For more information, download our safe sleeping teaching sheet (en Español).
Who should I speak to if I have concerns about my child's care?

Craniofacial Center of Western New York
Mission Statement
To improve the quality of life for patients with special needs and craniofacial anomalies through fundraising for education and support.
Who We Are
Miles For Smiles was founded in 1990 as a volunteer fundraising organization. Its founding was motivated by the recognition that children with special needs and craniofacial anomalies were not having all of their needs met. Many of the special needs of these patients could not be satisfied due to medical and dental insurance limitations. This target population of children is served in the Department of Pediatric and Community Dentistry and the Craniofacial Center of WNY at the Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo.
What we do
We are the only affiliation with Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo dedicated to providing adaptive equipment and special services for children that have dental, facial, and head deformities or special needs through its fundraising efforts. All proceeds from our events benefit children in Western New York.
How We Accomplish Our Goals
Save the Date!
Our 11th Annual Wine Tasting Event will be held on Monday, July 21, 2014
Past special events have included an open water swim, indoor swim meet, golf tournament, snowmobile grass drag race, silent/live auction, 3K walk, wine tastings, bake sales, and raffles.
How You Can Help
If you are interested in supporting Miles For Smiles financially, or to volunteer your time, please contact Jan Rockwood at email@example.com, or call (716) 878-7520.
