Young Computer Builder Raises Money for Mind Matters |
|
Posted by: Andy_Johnson on 04/24/2014 11:51 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA ... A hand-made computer, created by Nicholas Tribble, 18, a senior at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, has resulted in a $2,000 gift to Mind Matters, the Murphys based clinic that treats autism and related disorders. When faced with the need to select a senior project, Tribble decided to use his interest in computers to create a unit from scratch and house it in a custom crafted case. To finance his project he created a raffle in which the winner would be given the computer, his expenses would be met, and the remainder of the money donated to Mind Matters. At ten dollars a chance, he was able to raise more than $3,200. The lucky winner is Judy Matson, Director of Music Ministries at Foothill Community Church, which Tribble and his family attend. Matson plans on using the computer at the church, replacing a very old model she had in her office. She will receive her unit after April 28, the day the students must present their projects to the school and the general public. “We are very proud of Nicholas and his accomplishments,” says Dr. Ryan Thompson, the founder of Mind Matters and its current Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director. “We will put his generous donation to good use in our Fast ForWord program, a computer centered learning lab.”

Mark Twain Medical Center Orthopaedics Provides Pain Relief FREE informational event Tuesday, April 8th from 5 to 7 p.m. at CAMPS Restaurant in Angels Camp |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/02/2014 12:02 PM

San Andreas, CA...Joint pain can be caused by a variety of factors. Recent injuries (or old ones that never healed properly) are often to blame. For some, wear is simply a matter of age and genetic disposition. Whatever the cause, diagnosis by a qualified doctor is the first step to resolving the pain and regaining an active lifestyle. Once diagnosed, what can be done about it? Historically, long recovery times associated with invasive surgeries of the past compelled many to forgo treatment and endure their pain even as it worsened. But few disciplines evolve as quickly as modern medicine. In this day and age, many surgical remedies can be surprisingly painless and even lead to faster recoveries. Patients of the Orthopaedic department at Mark Twain Medical Center are often amazed at just how soon they are able to return to their favorite activities...
