Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss National Radiologic Technology Week, infectious season, seasonal affective disorder, and availability of appointments for radiology services at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center in Kewanee. This week marks Rad Tech Week, an annual tribute to the essential work of medical imaging and radiologic technologists. These professionals are key players in the healthcare system, utilizing advanced technologies like X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds to aid in diagnosing and treating patients. Rad Tech Week not only highlights their technical skills but also their compassion and commitment. Hospitals and imaging centers nationwide are recognizing National Radiologic Technology Week®, spotlighting the vital role radiologic technologists play in modern healthcare. Running from November 2nd through 8th, this annual observance coincides with the anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray in 1895. The chosen theme for 2025, “The Kaleidoscope of Radiologic Technology,” reflects the diversity and unity found within medical imaging and radiation therapy. Facilities are using the occasion to honor professionals who ensure both accurate diagnoses and patient safety, underscoring their pivotal contribution to medical teams and quality care across the country. The field of radiology has seen remarkable advancements since the invention of the X-ray. In 1972, computed tomography, or the CT scan, was developed, quickly followed by the introduction of real-time ultrasound machines in the late 1970s, transforming prenatal care by providing images of babies inside the womb. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) emerged in 1977, offering detailed insights into the body without radiation exposure. Today, 337,000 registered radiologic technologists are employed across the United States. These highly trained professionals operate advanced imaging equipment, aiding physicians in diagnosing a broad range of diseases with expertise certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Seasonal affective disorder affects many as the days grow shorter, bringing symptoms like low energy and mood changes lasting through the fall and winter. Symptoms typically lift with the return of brighter spring days, though a smaller group experiences SAD during the warmer months instead. Experts recommend not dismissing these changes as typical "winter blues." Treatment options include light therapy, counseling, and medications, offering hope for those facing persistent symptoms. Early recognition and intervention are key, helping people maintain motivation and emotional well-being year-round. Speak with a healthcare professional if you notice these patterns affecting your daily life.

On this article-read episode, we spotlight the University of Arkansas's new Institute for Integrative & Innovative Research (I³R)—a 144,000-sq-ft hub designed by HGA (with Hufft) to accelerate convergent research and regional economic development.

Colette Temmink is a corporate real estate, facilities and operations leader at Voxel committed to making a positive impact championing safe, efficient and sustainable workplace technology. Mike Petrusky asks Colette about how asset and facility management has evolved from a purely tactical focus to a more strategic and technology-oriented profession, influenced by trends such as digital twins, AI, and sustainability. They discuss how FM professionals should not be afraid to embrace new technologies and innovations, but they need to ask what they are solving for and explore technologies that align with their organization's needs and data requirements. A holistic asset lifecycle approach to managing buildings and assets can provide multiple benefits and insights, not just for FM departments but for the entire organization. Colette believes that human connections and professional relationships remain critical in an increasingly AI-driven industry and she emphasizes the importance of being a lifelong learner and staying informed about technological advancements to maintain relevant in the field. FM professionals should shift from reactive maintenance models to more data-informed, AI-driven decision-making processes, so Mike and Colette agree offer the practical advice and encouragement you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!

SummaryIn the latest episode of Service Evolution, host Jim Robinson sits down with Kyle Maynard, a world-class athlete, entrepreneur, motivational leader, and author. Born a quad amputee, Kyle's arms end at the elbows and his legs at the knees, but his limitless determination has propelled him to incredible heights, like becoming a top high school wrestler and MMA fighter, to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua.Kyle shares how the decisions made by his parents early on shaped his perspective on adversity. Rather than focusing on his disability, they fostered a sense of normalcy and encouraged him to pursue his goals without excuses. Kyle credits this approach for his mindset of resilience and innovation, explaining that “energy goes where the attention flows.”Throughout the episode, Kyle and Jim discuss the importance of rethinking limits, whether in mountain climbing or business leadership. Kyle's climbs are vivid metaphors for tackling life's challenges step by step. He recounts bear-crawling up thirty-mile hikes, adapting with duct-taped bath towels for shoes, and the power of focusing on the next three feet in front of you.The discussion also touches on the contagious power of attitude, both in teams and leadership, with Kyle's journey highlighting that innovation isn't always about technology; it's about perspective, commitment, and finding new solutions despite discomfort. Whether you're leading a business or facing personal challenges, Kyle's story challenges us all to rethink our limits and conquer our mountains—one step at a time!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(06:54) Maintaining Normality Amid Struggles(12:11) Kyle's Journey Climbing Kilimanjaro(17:35) How Facing Adversity Can Change Lives(21:15) Pushing Beyond Doubts(26:18) Why Commitment and Attitude Matter(29:57) Remaining Resilient Through Adversity(33:00) Trustworthy Leadership in Risky Situations(35:35) Closing ThoughtsLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesKyle MaynardKyle Maynard Motivation, LLCKyle's Book (No Excuses: The True Story of a Congenital Amputee Who Became a Champion in Wrestling and in Life)

The Constitutional Authority to Deploy National Guard to Protect Federal Facilities Guest: Professor John Yoo Professor John Yoo discusses the President's inherent constitutional authority to use the National Guard to protect federal property and personnel during city disorder. Drawing on the In re Neagle case from 1890, Yoo confirms the federal government's right to use force to execute its functions on American soil. He argues that governors opposing deployment are resisting federal law enforcement, akin to segregationists resisting integration. Yoo clarifies that states can adopt "sanctuary" policies by choosing not to cooperate with federal law, but they cannot constitutionally impede federal agents from carrying out their duties.

Miliani Rodriguez is a senior at Coachella Valley High School. The school buildings are old, she says, and they show it. The air conditioning often breaks in over 100-degree heat. When it rains, the ceilings leak. The sinks in her ceramics classroom broke and flooded the classroom. Miliani thought these kinds of things were normal, after attending school in the Coachella Valley Unified School District since kindergarten. But last year she visited her cousin's high school, just a couple of miles away from her, and found modern buildings, spacious athletic fields, and working air conditioning. Now, she is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit, Miliani R. v. State of California, which claims the way the state subsidizes school renovations perpetuates vast inequalities for students, sending more money to districts that already have more property wealth, and locking out poor districts from accessing funding.

A bonus pod today with Damien de Bohun, Golf Australia's General Manager - Clubs, Facilities, and Places to Play. Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen have two items on the agenda to discuss with Damien today:Firstly, the new Golf Australia handicap system and how the rollout is going. We've had mixed feedback from wolfpackers. Many love it and think the change is excellent, however some are critical of some of the bugs that have emerged, and importantly we've had a number of listeners who have suggested their scores are not being captured correctly - including wolfpacker Tom who wrote to us, so we want to ask Damien about those things and find out the latest. Mark is also keen to know why the change was necessary, what was wrong with keeping it the way it was?Secondly, there have been developments today on the Moore Park saga in Sydney where NSW Premier Chris Minns and Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore appear to be pushing ahead with their plan to cut one of Australia's busiest golf courses in half, moving it from 18 holes to 9 holes. Damien talks about the latest developments and the Golf Australia proposal which he says lays out clearly how they can achieve what the Premier and Lord Mayor are looking for, more parkland, and retain 18-holes at Moore Park. Damien says that given how important Moore Park is, Golf Australia are seeking a meeting with the Premier and Lord Mayor in the coming days and are confident that when the proposal is understood, it should be received favourably.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.
