Book excerpt: In Good Evening, Friends, Houston's iconic Eyewitness news anchor Dave Ward shares his untold personal and professional stories. Known as "the most trusted voice in Houston," Ward first joined ABC's KTRK-Channel 13 in 1966 and today hosts "Dave Ward's Houston" on ABC13. His journey from a simple life as the son of an East Texas pastor to become a welcome daily presence in the homes of millions of Houstonians unfolds as if it were preordained. As his early love of music and passion for technological innovation combined with his skill for distilling a story to its essence, it became apparent that Ward not only had a gift as a broadcaster but also a talent for riding the waves of change in the industry and emerging ever more beloved by his audience. In these pages, Ward details a remarkable sixty-year career as a newsman that began before the JFK assassination. He takes readers behind the scenes of America's most successful local news team--revealing his personal history with Marvin Zindler, chronicling the growth and development of the U.S. space program, and providing fascinating play-by-play about life on the road with the Houston Oilers in the "Luv Ya Blue" era. Additionally, Ward details his instrumental role in establishing Houston Crime Stoppers, the city's top non-profit dedicated to public safety, and he opens up about his personal struggles and dramatic brushes with death. Whether he was covering wars in Vietnam and the Middle East or providing accurate and in-depth coverage of presidential elections and historic natural disasters, Ward has always provided his audience with a clear and unbiased understanding of the news. Now, this long-awaited book captures the spirit of Houston as it presents a candid look at the man who has faithfully investigated its problems and broadcast its stories through almost seventy years of constant change.

Book Synopsis Houston Methodist by : Bryant Boutwell
Download or read book Houston Methodist written by Bryant Boutwell and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 9, 1919, Dr. Oscar Norsworthy, a Houston physician raised in the piney woods of Jasper, Texas, sold his 30-bed hospital near downtown at the corner of Rosalie and San Jacinto to the Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. More than money, Dr. Norsworthy was interested in placing his hospital in the right hands, and these Methodists were people of faith, integrity, and business know-how. If they were willing to meet his conditions to expand the hospital and support the medical staff he had assembled from among the best physicians Houston had to offer, then they had a deal for $35,000. The contract was signed. Houston Methodist: The Hospital with a Soul is a story of that small hospital's growth and transformation from a struggling community hospital into one of the world's great medical treasures. It takes readers on an entertaining and informative journey that parallels the history of Houston as it chronicles the hospital's growth decade by decade. It is a story of leadership, dedicated health care professionals, and a generous community working together to build a world-renowned center of medical excellence. Today, what was a small hospital without air conditioning is now a family of eight trendsetting hospitals throughout Greater Houston. In 2019 Houston Methodist represents one of the leading independent academic medical centers in the nation and ranks as the number-one hospital in Texas year after year. As the stories will tell, whether confronting floods associated with names like Allison and Harvey or addressing other challenges, Houston Methodist learns from its past, corrects course with resilience, and moves forward with a faith-based momentum. As you take this journey into the past and on through to present day, you will see why Leading Medicine is not just a slogan but a way of life ingrained in the hospital the Methodists purchased a century ago and transformed in ways the founders never dreamed possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections - Houston Methodist Hospital: A Supplement to Houston Hearts: A History of Cardiovascular Surgery and Medicine and The Methodist DeBakey Heart ... Vascular Center, Houston Methodist Hospital paperback version has a separate Index available on Amazon. The inspiration for Reflections came to Dr. William L. Winters, Jr. more than a decade ago when he and the late Dr. Don W. Chapman were philosophizing about the extraordinary changes that had taken place in the practice of medicine, and in particular the advances in cardiovascular medicine over the past 60 years, most all of which they had each experienced or participated in personally.Acutely aware that many other physicians on the Houston Methodist Hospital medical staff, as well as members of the administration, also were active participants in this exceptional history, Dr. Winters knew a story was there to be told. It was then he began to conduct video interviews with long-standing members of the medical staff to chronicle some of that story to prevent it being lost from memory.Starting with Dr. Chapman and ultimately including Drs. DeBakey and Cooley, among more than 70 others, it became more than a decade-long effort. With more than 2,500 years of experience at Houston Methodist Hospital among them, the participants collectively contributed a treasure trove of personal observations and reflections that ultimately served as one of the key reference sources in Houston Hearts: A History of Cardiovascular Surgery and Medicine and the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, the book written by Dr. Winters with Betsy Parish and published in 2014.The transcripts from these video and audio-recorded, personal interviews are each dated and presented with limited revisions for clarification purposes, thus reflecting the candid, conversational style of the format. As a result, the transcripts may not exactly match the video and audio recordings. To view the recorded sessions in their entirety for further research, please contact the Librarian Archivist at the Houston Methodist Professional Education Center.Index for the paperback version of Reflections is available for purchase on Amazon.

Book Synopsis Animal Models of Speech and Language Disorders by : Santosh A. Helekar
Download or read book Animal Models of Speech and Language Disorders written by Santosh A. Helekar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic research over the last decade or two has uncovered similarities between speech, especially its sensori-motor aspects, and vocal communication in several non-human species. The most comprehensive studies so far have been conducted in songbirds. Songbirds offer us a model system to study the interactions between developmental or genetic predispositions and tutor-dependent influences, on the learning of vocal communication. Songbird research has elucidated cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying learning and production of vocal patterns, perception of vocal sounds, vocal motor control and vocal neuromotor plasticity. More recently, the entire genome of the songbird zebra finch has been sequenced. These discoveries, along with the identification of several genes implicated in familial human speech and language disorders, have made it possible to look for analogues of speech and language dysfunction in zebra finches, at least at the perceptual and sensori-motor levels. Two approaches in particular have led us closer to the development of animal models of human speech conditions, namely developmental stuttering and a familial verbal dyspraxia associated with a mutation in the gene for the transcription factor FoxP2. Work on other animals that show developmental sensori-motor learning of vocal sounds used for communication have also shown significant progress, leading to the possibility of development of models of speech and language dysfunction in them. Among mammals, the principal ones include dolphins and whales. In non-human primates, while vocal learning per se is not very prominent, investigations on their communicative abilities have thrown some light on the rudiments of language. These considerations make the publication of a book focused on animal models of speech and language disorders, detailing the overall investigative approach of neurobehavioral studies in animals capable of vocal communication and learned vocalizations, a much-needed and worthwhile project. It would serve as a unifying review of research in this new multidisciplinary frontier, spanning the molecular to the behavioral, for clinicians and researchers, as well as a teaching resource for advanced speech pathology and neuroscience students. This book will also be the first of its kind.

Book Synopsis The Mathis Maxims by : Larry L. Mathis
Download or read book The Mathis Maxims written by Larry L. Mathis and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Larry L. Mathis was selected CEO of The Methodist Healthcare System in Houston at age 39, he began keeping a journal of the truth as he saw it--in the form of maxims. Each is the product of excruciating experience and told with often hilarious details. The range of Mathis' experiences led him to understand that "Leadership in life and death situations is different than that described in the management books." While his maxims primarily deal with the challenges every leader faces, they also touch on life, love, wisdom and folly. These maxims are valuable and entertaining reading for both the beginning executive and the seasoned executive, especially those in health care leadership.
