Children Children Team
click to enlargeChildren require a strong sense of stability regardless of their parents success at marriage. Determining the difference between marriage and parenting is often a difficult but necessary challenge to overcome. A marriage is comprised of two individuals that willingly join their lives together, while parenting involves unwilling parties. Parenting involves providing love, safety and security, discipline and teaching. Once the understanding of marriage is separated from parenting, two partners in parenting can work together to provide for the emotional and physical needs of their children.
Decide on a plan to discuss marital issues or adult issues away from the children.

Think Think Youre
Maybe you’re one of the many people who think that the plank is a remedial exercise–something for grandmothers or people in traction.
The cool thing about the plank–and the reason I’ve become even more of a fan of this move in the last few years– is that it can be that–a basic move that almost everyone can do in its easiest form (that would be on the elbows and knees–like you’re doing a girl-style pushup, only resting on your forearms).

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Background
Emerging attempts have been made to reduce operative trauma and improve cosmetic results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There is a trend towards minimizing the number of incisions such as natural transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC). Many retrospective case series propose excellent cosmesis and reduced pain in SPLC. As the latter has been confirmed in a randomized controlled trial, patient’s satisfaction on cosmesis is still controversially debated.
Methods
The SPOCC trial is a prospective, multi-center, double blinded, randomized controlled study comparing SPLC with 4-port conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4PLC) in elective surgery.
