Did you see local TV cameras in the lobby of the Wilmot Cancer Center yesterday? The Pancreatic Cancer Association of Western New York (PCAWNY) presented a check for $75,176 for research at Wilmot, and three stations came out to film the check-passing event. The group raised the money at the 4th annual Step It Up to Cure Pancreatic Cancer 5K Walk last November.
Last week, several members of URMC's Heart Research Follow-up team presented new research at the American Heart Association's Annual Scientific Sessions in Dallas. Among the findings – medications for ADHD and depression are dangerous in patients with Long QT syndrome, a disorder that makes the heart particularly susceptible to arrhythmias.
With 20-plus abstracts and several prominent lectures and presentations, URMC's Heart Research Follow-up Program team made their mark at the Heart Rhythm Society's Annual Scientific Sessions in Denver in May. The diverse team included medical students and residents, research fellows and faculty, all led by Wojciech Zareba, M.D., Ph.D., and Arthur J. Moss, M.D., both international experts on electrical disturbances of the heart.
The goal of this blog is to bring more medical research stories to light and provide our readers with timely and engaging coverage of scientific and medical developments here in Rochester and beyond.

New book takes a rational and critical approach answering various questions asked about Buddhism in a detailed, coherent manner.
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- Author Yalith Wijesurendra grew up questioning everything, including Buddhist beliefs. He later read so much about Buddhism and sought answers from the Buddhist monks. In his new publication, "Buddhist Answers: For the Critical Questions", he provides detailed answers for the critical and philosophical questions about this particular belief.
Washington, USA -- Buddhism is widely seen as quietistic, self-involved, and concerned only with personal enlightenment and the achievement of inner peace.
New York, USA -- Columbia University Press is pleased to announce the publication in paperback of "Meditations of a Buddhist Skeptic: A Manifesto for the Mind Sciences and Contemplative Practice" by B. Alan Wallace.
Paris, France -- Kūkai, the 9th Century Buddhist monk and polymath left an indelible mark on Japanese history and culture. Now, because of the excellent scholarship and work of Thomas Eijō Dreitlein and Shingen Takagi, readers the world over will benefit from some of Kukai's most important works in this authoritative collection of English-language translations.
Williamsburg, VA (USA) -- My introduction to the blending of Western psychology and Buddhism was Psychotherapy East and West, by Alan Watts, many decades ago. My own work as a therapist has included an underlying Eastern philosophy. Yet somehow I did not come across Mark Epstein's book until now.
Berkeley, CA (USA) -- Creating a 1.2 million–word dictionary devoted to the principles, practices, people, places and pennings of Buddhism might seem like the kind of feat possible only through the intervention of nirmanakaya, a kind of doppelganger of the Buddha, or manomanakaya, subtle magical bodies acquired during meditation.
"Buddhist Biology: Ancient Eastern Wisdom Meets Modern Western Science" was published in December 2013 by Oxford University Press.
Washington, DC (USA) -- David Barash, a University of Washington psychology professor, is an evolutionary biologist, unapologetic atheist, and self-described Jewbu. In his latest book, "Buddhist Biology: Ancient Eastern Wisdom Meets Modern Western Science," Barash examines the overlap between Buddhism and biology.
Every religion has its form of contemplative practice. Though Buddhism has many meditation practices, it is first and foremost an ethical teaching and a way of life. I have heard anecdotally that Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen teacher, was once asked to summarize all of Buddhist teaching in one word.
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- What happens when a Buddhist monk makes his way out of the mountains of Tibet after a lifetime of devoted practice? Well, he has a story to tell and also a philosophy to unpack for a wide-eyed journalist, who confronts this stranger from afar with a mixture of awe, reverence, and deep mistrust.
Buddhaland Brooklyn by Richard C. Morais(Allen & Unwin $36.99)
Auckland, New Zealand -- The premise of Richard C. Morais' Buddhaland Brooklyn is that an apparent fish-out-of-water can eventually find, and adjust to, its new pond. Morais takes rather a long time to get there, but he makes it.
The Decline of Buddhism in India: A Fresh PerspectiveBy KTS Sarao.Munshiram Manoharlal. Pages 327 (with index and bibliography). Rs 895
New Delhi, India -- This book makes two assertions: One that there was a religion described as "Brahmanical-Hinduism" and two that Buddhism was essentially a religion of the urban elite with little support in the countryside even at its height. Further, the author argues that Buddhism was centred on monasticism which was always well removed from its lay supporters.
Naomi Alderman enjoys the ride in a Buddhist-themed graphic novel
London, UK -- Graphic novels are peculiarly suited to the discussion of Buddhist themes. That frozen moment in each pane, paused for us to examine, more details revealing themselves the harder we look, has something in common with meditation and the desire to appreciate the "nowness" of each moment of life. The Book of Pages by David Whiteland is a wonderful meditation on Buddhism and technology, and Deepak Chopra has produced a comic book about the Buddha.
Boston, MA (USA) -- During his visit to Boston last week, His Holiness the Dalai Lama addressed attendees at a private benefit hosted by Boston philanthropist Bobby Sager to support the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT.
The Seven Scrolls Tengu: Evil and the Rhetoric of Legitimacy in Medieval Japanese Buddhism, by Haruko Wakabayashi. University of Hawai'i Press, 2012, 203 pp., $50.00 (hardcover)
Tokyo, Japan -- Residents of Japan will be vaguely aware of the long-nose impish figures known as Tengu, thinking of them as piquant figurines without deep religious significance. Tengu take many shapes in Japanese folklore, for instance as mischievous kidnappers of children or Pucks leading travelers astray.
"Where the Heart Beats: John Cage, Zen Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists" (Penguin Press), by Kay Larson
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- In August 1952 in a barn-turned-concert-venue in Woodstock, N.Y., a man sat at a piano and studied a score. He opened and closed the keyboard lid three times — but didn't play a sound. After 4 minutes and 33 seconds, the performer walked off the stage. Outrage ensued.
Moscow, Russia -- Encyclopedia on Buddhist philosophy brought out by the Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, was released in Moscow on May 23.
New Delhi, India -- A rare Buddhist manuscript, discovered by cattle grazers in 1931, has been released in book form in India.
Tokyo, Japan -- This book is a stirring attack on the hubris and blind spots of the scientific establishment, combined with an engaging presentation of Buddhist wisdom as the antidote.
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- The 2012 issue of the World of Buddhism - identified as "the international Buddhist magazine" was released recently. The contributors discuss a variety of topics ranging from whether politics is a dirty game to the contribution made by learned Buddhist scholars and a few topics related to the teachings of the Buddha.
Bangkok, Thailand -- The Chinese classic "Journey to the West", based on the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang's pilgrimage to India, is actually an allegory of a Buddhist spiritual journey. Also known as Adventures of the Monkey God, it is a fitting tool to compare Buddhism and Kantian philosophy.
Bangkok, Thailand -- Somdet To is, according to Justin McDaniel "arguably the most famous monk in Thai history." His image, picture, chants, biographies, amulets, and pamphlets are everywhere. Yet you could read everything written on Thai Buddhism in English for scholars or tourists without noticing his existence, let alone his importance. In this superb book, McDaniel not only does justice to Somdet To but suggests a new way of thinking about "Thai Buddhism" and how it is studied.
Van Schaik exposes China on Dalai Lama
New Delhi, India -- Though we share thousands of kilometers of our border with Tibet, our knowledge of that country woeful. One reason for it the forbidding presence the Himalayas that limits intercourse.
Lewis Richmond, author of "Aging as a Spiritual Practice: A Contemplative Guide to Growing Older and Wiser" gives five key tips on being happy in our golden years
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- I often teach that Buddhism is about how to be truly happy, so I have been studying the new research field of "happiness studies," which focuses on the objective measures and causes of happiness.
A novelized version of Merry White's experiences at Dai Bosatsu Zendo including Eido Shimano's predatory behavior.
Maine, USA -- "Special Karma" is a fascinating novel, of interest to anyone who has attempted to do meditation practice or follow a spiritual discipline, to anyone who has fallen in and out of young love.
Buddhism Naturalized, by Owen Flanagan; Meditating Selflessly: Practical Neural Zen by James H Austin – review. Buddhism has never been more popular in the west. A sceptic's view makes fascinating reading, while a how-to guide makes the usual exaggerated claims
London, UK -- Despite the long-term decline in the west in churchgoing, people's yearning for some kind of transcendence appears as strong as ever, echoed in the common refrain: "I'm not religious but I am spiritual."
A review of Thich Nhat Hanh's The Novice: A Story of True Love
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- Thich Nhat Hanh is author of over 50 books. His latest title may be his most universal yet. It deals with the question, Why do bad things happen to good people? At some point, we will all ask this, about ourselves, or those around us. Yet there's a deeper question, underneath: How to skillfully respond?
A Vietnamese legend is the root of Zen Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh's debut novel. With its gender disguise and message of forgiveness, it may remind readers a bit of 'Yentl' mixed with the Sermon on the Mount.
Boston, MA (USA) -- Buddhism is in vogue in the West, and has been for a long time. Partly, it's that Buddhism seems "spiritual" without being too religious; it's also that Buddhist practices, especially meditation, are popularly associated with happiness, contentment, and well-being.
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- At the age of 84, world renowned spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh offers a new kind of teaching to share his profound wisdom through a beautiful and timeless story.
Anderson, South Carolina (USA) -- "What Buddhists Believe," written by thge late Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda Thero, is a must read book for anyone who has an interest in Buddhism. It answers many questions asked about Buddhism for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
Johannesburg, South Africa -- IT all began with a big bone, on a plate of mashed potatoes. It was merely a cutlet, but it was the first time that Louis van Loon had been confronted with meat looking like this. Recently arrived in South Africa from post-war Netherlands where he'd only ever had meat presented as a sausage or out of a tin, it was an awakening that cemented his vegetarianism.
Editor McLeod delineates Buddhism's uniqueness: nontheistic, concerned with mind rather than, say, First Cause or unsayable Name; no divine prophet, no sacred book
San Francisco, CA (USA) -- Eternity, Blake says, is in love with the productions of time. (And vice-versa!) Ultimately, truth has no beginning, middle, nor end. Yet it intertwines with the historical world. So each year I greet with great pleasure—and a divine delight—yet another new edition of The Best Buddhist Writing. And 2010, seventh in the series, is no exception.
Stephen Levine's Surreal Dharma Jazz
San Francisco, CA (USA) --There's a 40-year interval between Stephen Levine's previous book of poetry and his latest—that's quite a span. In the interim, he's not remained silent. Indeed, you may recognize his name as a bestselling spiritual author. If you've read any of his books, you might have noted how poetic his prose is: its awakening quality of mind, and openness of heart. So, when a reader once complained to the author how his book Who Dies? made no mention of what poets wrote the poems he inserted in the prose, he was actually quite pleased: all the writing was his own.
Worried about the meaning of existence? You might turn to Raj Patel's book The Value of Nothing. Its title, however, isn't a reference to how much a vast supply of nothing might be worth, or how to make a buck doing nothing. Instead, it comes from an Oscar Wilde quote: "Nowadays people know the price of everything but the value of nothing."
Fauzia shares unseen colours of Pakistan in 'Chitarkari & Banyans'

New Delhi, India -- Much of the source material available on Cambodian Buddhism is in French. This is understandable, given that France was Cambodia's colonial power. What is available in English is only scanty.
Dharamsala, India -- A graphic novel on the life and personality of the Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama will now be available in 10 languages in different parts of the world.

It is designed to run parallel with the courses that Burch runs but it also stands alone in its own right.

But it is also to be commended for the clarity of its writing, its realism and its wisdom.

Swans handed a tanning by Leatherhead
3:37pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in Sport By Rod Ellis
Leatherhead secured another three Ryman Division One South points with a 5-0 goal feast at Walton & Hersham on Tuesday.
Tanners outplayed their hosts from start to finish and the final result could have been a lot more emphatic, had it not been for some heroic goalkeeping from Swans' custodian Mo Maan and his replacement Dane Buss.
Boss Richard Brady gave a debut to Daniel Johnson at left back and the young defender played an important part in the visitors' opening goal after 15 minutes.
He launched a probing free kick deep into the Swans' six yard box and Ian Draycott rose above his marker to head home.
Leatherhead doubled their lead three minutes later through a bizarre own goal, when leading scorer Tom Bradbrook was beaten to the ball by Swans defender John Clark, who powered it into the net from 20 yards.
Bradbrook assisted in Leatherhead's third goal after 37 minutes - the Leatherhead striker's fierce drive was only half-blocked by Maan and Draycott was well placed to score on the follow up.
Bradbrook was a whisker away from adding Leatherhead's fourth on the stroke of half-time, with another long range effort scraping the top of the bar.
Tanners did not have much longer to wait, however, as another Bradbrook thunderbolt was cleared off the line after 52 minutes, only for Paul Semakula to latch onto the loose ball and nudge the ball home from close range.
Swans' demolition was completed with a fifth goal after 64 minutes when Tanners sub Mohamed Eisa fed a ball down the left channel to Draycott, who cleverly chipped it across the width of the goal for Bradbrook to head home at the far post.
Maan, who had played through much of the match in apparent discomfort with a wrist injury, was replaced in goal for the final 25 minutes by substitute keeper Buss, but some fine goalkeeping meant Tanners were unable to add further to their tally.
Leatherhead: Deren Ibrahim, Ryan Mahal, Daniel Johnson, Tom Parkinson, Jamie Coyle, Jerry Nnamani (Ryan Cooper 74), Kev Terry (Mohamed Eisa 57), Darren Smith, Tom Bradbrook, Ian Draycott (Jake Hobbs 74), Paul Semakula.
Unused sub: Mikey Dalton
