Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI] is defined by the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Data Center as follows: “Damage to the brain tissue caused by an external mechanical force.” Each year, almost 120,000 Ohioans will be treated in emergency rooms or hospitalized due to a TBI. In addition to this, TBI is the “signature injury” of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts and is responsible for bringing thousands of new cases of TBI home to Ohio.

This month’s program: Jim Helton, of American Atheists, will speak on “The Future of Atheist Activism.”
We will discuss what are “atheist” issues. You may be surprised. Which issues should we take on as individuals and as organizations? What can we do about them?
Does it all matter and can we make a difference? In a movement that often finds itself divided, how do we unite under one banner and have our voices heard by those in power?

The European witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have long been a standard paradigm for the official repression of divergent minorities (witness the common characterization of the House Un-American Activities Committee’s actions in the Fifties as “a witch hunt”), and early-modern historiography has understandably had far more to say about the oppressors than the oppressed.
