The other part I was thinking was that there is bound to be more information digitally saved, and it's far easier now to perform a FOIA on that expanded data. It all comes down to a CYA mentality. Why give the peons something on the chance it could bite you in the ass and take away your power? "The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States." -- Sen. Barack Obama, March 31, 2008
And of course it's true for other groups of people in other threads in other situations. People from all walks of life are capable of seeing others who disagree with them as a unified and homogenous force. IMHO that's partly what's wrong with our political discourse (since the dawn of political discourse) - the inability for people to see the POV of those who might disagree with all or part of their own POV. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. - Mark Twain
What ^ this means is, he has only promised to be more transparent relative to other admins, so what others did is entirely relevant. As the OP points out, that is a low bar to clear. |

I'm a little surprised at some of the stone walls. After all, you can't hold one person responsible for every action of millions of employees. Of course some of those people will make mistakes and even break laws. Covering it up is not appropriate.
On the good side, we haven't seen anything remotely close to the scandals we suffered through under Bush/Cheney. |
Well there is Bradley Manning. I would like a more transparent administration. Bush was far too opaque, and I feel Obama has been worse. This is backed up by the fact that FOIA requests are more likely to be denied and take longer to fill out on average vs. the Bush admin. http://www.huffingtonp

Only one shot—that's what the 34 competitors had during the Open Men's Slalom round of the 2007 Pro Slalom Shootout. Just one shot at the purse, the podium, and a spot in the top twelve and the chance to move onto the additional events. Watch this video to see how they did and who measured up.
For More Information
Event 1: Traditional Slalom
Tow Boats
Correct Craft Ski Nautique 196
Maibu Response LXi
MasterCraft ProStar 197
It's a tried and tested formula: traditional slalom, classic scoring, high-buoy-count wins. But we upped the ante: no preliminary round; just one shot for the cash and the crown. Thirty-three skiers battled for a spot in the top 12 to stay alive for the remainder of the Shootout events.
The Story
The podium of WaterSki Magazine's Pro Slalom Shootout seemed like a family affair. Jamie Beauchesne, Chris Rossi and Marcus Brown are nearly inseparable throughout the ski season, so when Jamie and Marcus came to Orlando for the Shootout, it was natural that they would stay — and more importantly, eat — with Chris and his wife, Ellen Rossi. "It was all Ellen's cooking," claimed Beauchesne of his victory. "She cooked for me and Chris at the Masters in Georgia, and we both hit the podium. And here she made this huge meal for Chris, Marcus and me the night before we skied — and we went first, second, third."
A full belly must've been helpful because with no preliminary round in this event to offer competitors a chance to warm up, there were no second chances to grab the bulk of the $20,000 payout and acquire valuable Elite points. "Without a semifinal, it was just an all-around throw-down," said world-record-holder Chris Parrish, who surprisingly failed to make the 3 at 391/2-off cut. The abbreviated format forced all of the 33 competitors to tap their top performance levels early. "We just had to come out really aggressive," said fourth-place finisher Thomas Degasperi. "When you don't have a preliminary round, you don't have the opportunity to go easy for even a pass." Degasperi jammed his finger on the handle in practice the day before the event and was dealing with some painful swelling but managed to dig deep and run into the early part of 41 off.
With only the top 12 skiers from the traditional slalom round getting an invite to the second- and third-event challenges — the 38-Off Spin It to Win It and the Cold 39 Contest — the athletes soon realized that there was no reason to hold back. "I just laid it out there," said Trent Finlayson, who skied his way into a fifth-spot tie with Glenn Campbell. "Having one shot for the money kind of took the pressure off. There was really nothing to lose, no reason to lay up and be conservative." And no second helpings.
Open Men's Results
1. Jamie Beauchesne – 2½ at 41
2. Chris Rossi – 2 at 41
3. Marcus Brown – 1½ at 41
4. Thomas Degasperi – 1 at 41
5. (tie) Trent Finlayson – 5 at 39

Pros' Analysis
"I definitely have a new philosophy on skiing — a new philosophy on life — this year. In the past I've definitely forced a lot of issues. This year I'm having a lot more fun with skiing, and just life in general. I used to try to ski well and go into that engineer brain — just get a little more tense and not have as much fun with it — but that definitely didn't work out as well for me. So this year, I'm being more of a free spirit, understanding that we're not going to be around forever and making the most of being here now." — Jamie Beauchesne
"It was fun. This is probably one of the better tournaments I've had in the past year. Just coming out and skiing against the best in the world — everyone was here — was a really good time." — Marcus Brown
"It was just like going out there and skiing practice. We all just went out and did what we've been doing all week. You should've seen the amount of talk about theory and what we're doing out there. At points I was lost; at points I was found. I didn't know where I was going — left, right, center. But I made some turns and came out on top. Pretty psyched." — Chris Rossi

The goal of this Efficiency Assessment is to define and estimate the test technologies suites' ability to enhance motor carriers' financial performance and determine whether efficiency gains, if any, are adequate to induce motor carrier investment.
As described in Evaluation Technical Memorandum 4: Motor Carrier FOT ROI and Performance Measures,7 the calculation of operational benefits, associated with the FOT technologies is one component of the broader benefit-cost assessment, detailed in Volume III, Section 2, and described in Section 8 of this synthesis document. The broader Benefit- Cost Assessment also takes into consideration the potential security benefits of the FOT technologies. In examining only motor carrier efficiency, it should be noted that a number of the technologies are primarily security-oriented in nature, and do not necessarily create a measurable operational improvement through their use (i.e., Panic Buttons or E-seals).
Regardless of technology configuration in the FOT, two technologies create the enabling platform on which the other test technologies operate - Wireless Communications and asset positioning/tracking. Through discussions with the participating motor carriers, these two capabilities provide the majority of measurable operational benefits. Without these two capabilities, potential operational, as well as safety and security benefits of the other test technologies, could not be realized.
5.1.1 Definition of Benefits
Based on the information collected during the FOT, at the micro or carrier-level, benefits were accrued through closer management of assets and personnel. Better management reduced out-of-route miles, enhanced driver productivity by facilitating the monitoring of location and driver work status, and through dynamic routing, potentially realized the opportunities for additional loads. The core mobile communications and asset tracking enabled the motor carriers to monitor their fleet operations both in near real-time and through historic record analysis to set tighter performance measures, and to realign fixed and variable routing decisions.
5.1.2 Analyses
Due to differences in the types of operations represented by the four load types in the FOT, the following two distinct analysis types (described in detail in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this synthesis document) were used to assess potential benefits for the participants:
Input Factor Productivity, which allowed for determining increases in output for a given level of an input, or conversely, reducing the required level of input for a given output (i.e., increased number of pickups and deliveries for a given number of drivers).
Partial Budgeting (of revenue increases and cost decreases), which was based on examining only those line items that represent a change from a baseline environment. Specific to this analysis, only those cost and benefit streams directly associated with the technologies' ability to effect change were considered.
This approach establishes and monetizes input factor efficiency in terms of increased output, holding other inputs constant, which was considered an appropriate framework for the 1A-B Bulk Fuel and 2B LTL (Non-Bulk pick-up and delivery [P&D]) scenarios in which driver productivity is a key operational metric.
Two analyses were conducted using Input Factor Productivity techniques - one for Bulk Fuel and another for LTL-Non-Bulk type operations because the participating motor carriers supplied two distinct types of operational data. The two analyses are described in the following Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.
5.2.1 Bulk Fuel Analysis
The motor carrier represented in Scenario 1 operates under contract to customers to deliver gasoline to stations within approximately a 2-hour drive form the terminal. The key driver performance metric is percent of on-time performance versus a target schedule developed based on historical trip times. This motor carrier closely monitors this performance on a weekly basis to manage the drivers' productivity. The higher the percentage of on-time occurrences, the more trips can be made in a given day, thus reducing marginal driver costs, and maintaining customer satisfaction. This means that the driver cost per delivery declines.
This motor carrier recently began using a Wireless Communications with GPS system to more accurately capture time-stamped events (start and end of day, breaks, arrive/leave rack, arrive/leave customer locations, etc.). The motor carrier provided the weekly performance statistics for 19 Bulk Fuel delivery drivers based at the main carrier terminal. These data covered an 11-week timeframe, beginning in mid-December 2003 (when the system was proved out and employees trained and familiar with the system). The weekly driver productivity reports demonstrated an overall increase in driver productivity over 11 weeks of 11 percent, bringing the aggregate level to approximately 90 percent of target. This level is seasonally adjusted to reflect varying operating demands throughout the year. This is considered a high level of utilization, but through monitoring and driver management efforts, the carrier continues to maintain and increase the level. Figure 5-1 presents weekly average driver productivity levels versus target for the 11-week period.
Figure 5-1. Average Bulk Fuel Driver Productivity Relative to Target Following Deployment of Wireless Communications and GPS Positioning Systems.
Given the relatively small sample size over a relatively short period of time, the statistical significance of the observed productivity gains was tested and shown to be statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. In other words, the observed gains in productivity are real and not the result of sampling error.
To impute a cost savings (benefit) of these productivity gains, the loaded driver cost for this industry segment of $21.24 per hour was used.8 The calculation of driver cost savings is defined as follows:
Percent Productivity Gain x Hourly Driver Cost x Hours Worked/month = Monthly Savings/Driver = 11% x $21.24 x 208 hrs/month = $486 per driver per month, or approximately $5,800 per year.
This benefit estimate can be used as a per truck estimate, if one assumes one 8-hour shift per day. For those Bulk Fuel operations operating two shifts, the estimated per truck benefit can be doubled to $972 per truck per month.
5.2.2 LTL-High Hazard (Non-Bulk) Analysis
The participating motor carrier in Scenario 2 began a phased approach to installing the Wireless Communications with GPS vehicle positioning system into its fleet on a terminal-byterminal basis in 2000. The deployments are currently ongoing, and since the end of 2003, trucks at over 2,000 terminals have been equipped with Wireless Communications with GPS tracking.
For each phase of the deployment, the resulting changes in performance are normalized to a Year 0 and averaged across a taper for Years 1-3 following deployment. (Year 3 is the last year where at least two "deployment class years" are represented.) This was done to account for any potential "learning curve" or adoption/productivity initial impacts that may exist. Additionally, a "non-technology" sample of terminals was available from the motor carrier to provide a "without" baseline for comparison purposes.
The net gains represent the difference between the driver productivity (as defined by pounds per hour picked up and delivered while on duty) for the "technology-equipped" terminals and those without the technology. By Year 3, average pounds per hour for the terminals with Wireless Communications with GPS vehicle positioning equipped trucks were 3.5 percent higher than for those terminals with trucks not equipped. Closer management of driver enroute activities (monitoring of driver downtime), improvements in dynamic routing decisions based on known vehicle positions are the primary contributory factors in realizing the improvement.
To impute a cost savings (benefit) of these productivity gains, the loaded driver cost for this industry segment, the same methodology was used as for the Bulk Fuel scenario. The value of these driver productivity (P&D) gains is calculated as:
3.5% net P&D increase x $26.42 avg. loaded driver wage/hr. x 173 hrs = $160 per driver per month, or $1,920 per driver per year.
If one assumes one 8-hour shift per day (which is conservative, considering LTL shifts can run up to 10 hour days), then the per truck benefit would be $160 per month. Table 5-1 presents the yearly driver productivity gains.
Table 5-1. Average LTL (P&D) Driver Productivity Gains Following Deployment of Wireless Communications and GPS Positioning Systems
The second approach that examined the impacts of technology on operations uses a framework that specifically examines the impact of technology on:
This modeling framework, best suited for operations approximating line haul, was found to be appropriate in assessing ROI for the following scenarios: 2A LTL-High Hazard; 3A-C Bulk Chemicals; and 4A-B Truckload Explosives.
The inputs were derived from carrier-provided operational and financial data, as well as anecdotal information, detailed analysis of archived data for the test trucks, and from published sources.
As the participating motor carriers have been using the Wireless Communications with GPS vehicle positioning for several years on a fleet basis, little "non-technology" baseline data was available to make direct before and after or with and without comparisons. The Evaluation Team used the companies' operating parameters, with participant opinions to model what the likely impacts on ROI would likely be if deployed currently. The opinions, albeit anecdotal, did benefit from this prior experience. Very conservative estimates of potential new load opportunities were used in the input set, recognizing that often, HAZMAT hauls are dedicated runs with specialized equipment and cannot always take advantage of a revenue producing backhaul as might be possible in dry van operations.
The inputs used in calculating per truck monthly benefits of Wireless Communications with GPS tracking are presented in Volume III, Section 2. The ROI model essentially equates downtime savings associated with eliminated driver call-in stops and unscheduled en-route maintenance/repairs with increased asset capacity. The ability to know where assets are, the state of conditions vis--vis maintaining schedule, and knowing driver availability for hours of service allows dispatchers/load planners to assess the feasibility for picking up potential backhaul loads (applicable to the operation). The model also estimates the value of freed up phone call time for dispatchers talking with drivers, thus allowing them to focus on other duties, or have the time to manage more drivers if necessary. Other benefits include lower communications costs, less idling time (associated with driver call-in stops), resulting reduced in fuel and engine wear costs. These benefits are displayed in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2. Estimated Monthly Per Truck Benefits Derived Using Wireless Communications with GPS Vehicle Positioning System
As described, the inputs are conservative in terms of the percent of additional full loads (no partial loads are assumed) that can be realized (1 percent), or the percent of non-productive miles that can be eliminated (1 percent). Therefore, the benefit estimates are relatively conservative.
A sensitivity analysis of benefits was conducted on the variables given the assumptions that a percentage of out-of-route miles can be eliminated through improved trip monitoring, or the percentage of added trips that could be hauled with better pre-planning and fleet utilization (both of which strongly impact monthly benefits per truck) would be increased.
LTL-High Hazard operations (as represented by the motor carrier in scenario 2B) with a 1 percent reduction in out-of-route miles or a 1 percent increase in monthly trips would increase monthly benefits by $180 and $309 per truck per month, respectively. For Bulk Chemicals, the benefit increases are estimated to be $116 and $270, respectively. For Truckload Explosives, the benefit increases by $124 and $199, respectively.
The potential benefit increases for a 1 percent reduction in out-of-route miles are calculated to be 21, 20, and 14 percent for LTL-High Hazard, Bulk Chemicals and Truckload Explosives, respectively. A 1 percent increase in loads hauled is calculated to increase benefits by 38, 46, and 22 percent for LTL-High Hazard, Bulk Chemicals, and Truckload Explosives, respectively.
The results of the sensitivity analysis show that even marginal improvements in managing out-of-route miles or improving asset utilization as reflected in increased loads hauled can have a strong effect on carriers' profitability and ROI.
It is recognized that all operations are not able to realize many of the estimated benefits as modeled for the FOT participants. The proportion and degree to which carriers realize benefits of technologies has been examined in numerous case studies and industry benefit/cost analyses. To explore low-end benefits of the Wireless Communications with GPS vehicle positioning system, this effort draws upon the results of a 1999 ATA Foundation study that examined the benefits and costs of technology systems across a wide-range of carrier operations for over 900 surveyed motor carriers.9 Among the findings, carriers using Wireless Communications and vehicle tracking technologies, 33 to 47 percent increased loads; 22 to 35 percent reduced non-revenue miles; and 12 percent lowered driver to dispatcher ratios.
By focusing only on these three areas of operational efficiency improvements (using the midpoint values) and ignoring the other modeled benefits, the results of a "minimum" benefit analysis is presented in Table 5-3.
Table 5-3. Minimum Estimated Monthly Per Truck Benefits Derived through the Use of Wireless Communications with GPS Vehicle Positioning System.
A key finding was that the participating motor carriers ascribed little operational efficiency impact to the test technologies, with the exception of Wireless Communications with GPS tracking capabilities. Their views regarding operational efficiency were primarily focused on the ability to communicate efficiently with drivers, know where the vehicles are, and when to manage customer requests for status and arrival times; track driver and vehicle operational performance on the road; and to effect better load planning.
The use of Wireless Communications with GPS tracking capabilities shows significant benefits in terms of improved management of fleet personnel and assets to reduce unproductive miles; increase driver and dispatcher productivity; and realize increased loads.
There may be minimum fleet sizes in these sectors under which the usefulness of integrated communications and tracking systems may be easily reproduced with less advanced methods and technologies, such as cell phones and pagers. Volume III, Section 4: Benefit- Cost Assessment and Industry Deployment Potential examines this in the larger industry context.
Though not quantified through this effort, several of the participants thought GPS tracking was a valuable tool in the recovery of stolen assets - especially tractors and trailers. With the value of a tractor-trailer combination unit worth in excess of $100,000 and the cargo considerably more, being able to track and locate a missing asset is considered a potential ROI improvement, albeit, not quantifiable to the extent of rigor.
Geofencing was thought of as a useful application of the vehicle tracking system to enable alerts if a driver went out of route, thereby potentially reducing the costs of out-of-route miles. The efficiency benefits of Geofencing were considered in the Partial Budget analyses presented in the preceding sections as supporting the reduction in out-of-route miles. The exposure of the technologies to tethered and untethered trailer tracking was limited during the test and resulted in no significant quantifiable benefits. Participants using the technologies did acknowledge that benefits could include reduced equipment abuse by third parties. They further acknowledged that this could result in reduced trailer maintenance and possible realization of detainage charges, reduced numbers of trailers needed to meet service needs, and potentially reduced staff/administrative costs associated with equipment matching and dispatching activities.
There may be minimum fleet sizes in these sectors under which the usefulness of integrated communications and tracking systems may be easily reproduced with less advanced methods and technologies, such as cell phones and pagers. Volume III, Section 4 examines this in the larger industry context.
As mentioned previously, the ESCM concept was viewed as a potential efficiency tool through the reduction of paperwork. System use was constrained by the number of participants, and therefore, though the concept was accepted, reaction to the system itself was neutral.
The overall impact of the technologies on the motor carriers was that the technologies required the basic communications and tracking system, and that the carriers would realize additional costs in the concept of enhanced security. In this context, panic alerts and remote door locking capabilities were considered very useful with a willingness of carriers to possibly invest in them. For the most part, the participants indicated that the other "security" technologies would be considered, if the carriers' customers required their use and were willing to recoup the carriers' costs through increased freight rates.

DUNMORE, W.Va. -- To call it a room with a view is an understatement as vast as the forested landscape that can be seen from it.
The state park system's newest overnight accommodation was built to take in the most complete panorama possible of the Pocahontas County highlands and Greenbrier River Valley, reports The Charleston Gazette.
The Thorny Mountain Fire Tower, built in 1935 on a platform 55 feet above the top of a 3,415-foot peak in Seneca State Forest, is being renovated and refitted for a new life as a backcountry retreat.
"This is the only fire tower in the state that was built in the western style, with a large cab that let the observer live on top of the tower, instead of in a cabin at its base," said Bob Beanblossom, regional administrator for the West Virginia State Park system.
Beanblossom, whose career with the state began as a Division of Forestry firefighter and included time as an observer in a Mingo County fire tower, came up with the idea of converting the tower into a lodging venue.
"Out West, a number of inactive fire towers and their cabins are available to the public" by paying fees to the U.S. Forest Service or other agencies, he said. When work on the Thorny Mountain tower is complete, probably sometime in June, "it will be one of a very few fire towers in the east that people can stay in," he said.
For several years, the fire tower observer's cabin atop Bald Knob in Cass Scenic Railroad State Park has been available to rent for those seeking an off-the-grid, off-the-beaten-path wilderness getaway.
In addition to providing a unique experience for guests, renovation of the Thorny Mountain tower for public use also assures its preservation and serves an educational role for those who visit it.
The tower cab will be equipped with a history of the tower, an account covering the daily routine of the observer, and a description of how the fire observer system worked.
The tower's Osborne Fire Finder alidade, a device used by observers to pinpoint the locations of fires, is being restored in the Seneca State Forest shop and will be returned to the cab. The alidade uses a circular tabletop covered with a correctly centered topographical map and two sighting apertures on opposite ends of the table.
The fire lookout moved the sights along a circular track marked with degree gradients of 0 to 360 until both sights aligned with the smoke plume at the base of a fire, providing the coordinates needed to map the blaze.

After using a number of brands, I realized nothing worked as well as Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes! My favorite part is they have a vegetarian version. Oh happy day! My digestion problems are clearly helped by adding this product to my list of daily supplements.

Pretty Good!
I noticed a difference the first time I took these enzymes. Hopefully they continue to provide the digestive aid I need.

My Favorite Enzymes
I've been taking this brand of enzymes for a long time and find them to be very effective. At the suggestion of my vet, I also give them to my dog before meals to help with the absorption of nutrients.

I have used this for years and have recommended it to several people who also really like it. Very good digestive aid.

Clinton E. "Woody" Woodson '51 signed copies of his book, A Golden Window in Time: Reflections of a Country Doctor, at the 2004 UTMB Homecoming celebration. Woodson's book records various vivid memories: of his childhood in the Big Thicket of East Texas during the Great Depression; of his tenure as a clinical laboratory technician at the Great Lakes Naval Hospital and later a hospital corpsman with the 26th Special Naval Construction Battalion in the Pacific during World War II; and of meeting his future wife-of-52-years during a blind date in Chicago. The book also features essays he wrote during his many years as a general practitioner in Wharton, Texas. Many of these essays appeared as a column in the semiweekly Wharton Journal-Spectator. Although most are health-related, they also explore relationships, religion, life in Texas, and what it means to be a doctor.
"In September 1946, I was one of 110 people who began medical school at UTMB," Woodson wrote of his School of Medicine 50th class reunion. Of the first-year medical students that year, most, like him, were World War II veterans, he wrote. At the reunion, Woodson said, a presenter read a short summary of each doctor's activities over the past 50 years. "I was astounded at the achievements of these individuals," he said. "Many had gone out on their own to accomplish their goals. The idea of going into debt to attain their objectives did not deter them. Some of our classmates had distinguished themselves as teachers and researchers. Others had provided missionary medicine in the far reaches of the Earth."
Walter DeFoy '67, Houston, is the medical director of disability services for Aetna Insurance Company. He has worked with the insurance industry for 10 years. He and his wife, Linda, have two grandchildren. Their youngest daughter recently graduated from the University of Texas School of Law.

J. James Rohack '80, Bryan, Texas, the chairman of the American Medical Association (AMA) Board of Trustees, discussed his priorities for his one-year appointment during a brief pause at the Development Board Weekend in June 2004. The issues include passage of medical liability reform, initiating advanceable tax credits to provide federal dollars for the purchase of private medical insurance for the uninsured, and repairing Medicare's sustainable growth rate formula, established by Congress for physicians under Medicare. The more the physician sees the patient in an outpatient setting in one year, the less reimbursement will occur the next year. Thus prevention visits and aggressive management of chronic conditions will actually create less reimbursement for the physician for doing what is best for the patient. Rohack, the senior staff cardiologist at Scott & White Clinic in Temple, Texas, and medical director for system improvement of the Scott & White Health Plan, says he also will address enhancing clinical quality and patient safety. He also is a professor at Texas A&M University System Health Science Center. Rohack assumed his current AMA leadership post last June; he has served in several high-ranking positions in the AMA and the Texas Medical Association, including the TMA presidency.

John, who was vice chair of radiology and is the chief of pediatric radiology, is the first female chair in the history of the medical school. Ross Scalise '85 is a family physician at Kaiser Permanente Southern California Medical Group in Fontana, California. Scalise writes that his son, Raphael, 14, is sane, fun, smart, handsome, and already taller than his father. David Chin '89 continues to serve in the U.S. Air Force and has been reassigned to Lajes Field in the Azores. He is a flight surgeon and chief of clinical services.
A stitch in time
Although the Boston Red Sox last October won their first World Series in 86 years, the historic victory might not have happened at all without an assist from the team's medical director, William J. Morgan, '81, of Boylston, Massachusetts. Morgan's ministrations enabled Red Sox ace Curt Schilling to pitch—and win—game six of the American League championship series against the New York Yankees and game two of the World Series over the St. Louis Cardinals. Before those two games, the sheath that covered two tendons in Schilling's right ankle was torn, Morgan told the Associated Press. That allowed one tendon to slip out of its groove and rub against a bone, causing unbearable pain. To alleviate Schilling's misery, Morgan "sutured the tendon into place so it wouldn't flop over" when Schilling pitched, according to the Los Angeles Times. The fix permitted Schilling to pitch seven innings, allowing just one run when the Red Sox beat the Yankees 4–2 in game six of the American League championship series. In game two of the World Series, when the Red Sox topped the Cardinals 6–2, Schilling was able to pitch six innings without allowing an earned run. Morgan, who chairs the orthopaedic department at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, was named the Red Sox team physician in 1998 and medical director in 2002.—Gary Libman
Cassius Drake '97, Lakeway, Texas, is pleased to announce that his first child, Noah, was born in April 2004. Amy Simon '97, Atlanta, opened a solo plastic surgery practice specializing in cosmetic surgery, breast surgery, and oculoplastics. She says it's a lot of work, but well worth it. Bradley Woods '98 finished his general surgery residency in 2003 and is stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, as a staff general surgeon on active duty. He lives there with his wife and two children, ages 6 and 12.
Todd Thames '95 recently completed nine years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force and has accepted a position on the faculty of the Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program in San Antonio, Texas.
While stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Thames was deployed as the medical director for the Humanitarian Food Drop Mission in Afghanistan. From September 2001 to January 2002, the mission flew four times every night over northern Afghanistan. Later, Thames served as director for medical operations for the 409th Air Expeditionary Group flying refueling missions over northern Iraq.
"Both experiences were not something I would be eager to repeat," Thames said. "During my three-year tour at Ramstein, I was deployed away from my family 40 percent of the time."
He credits the strength of his wife, Debbie Cardell, SOM '95, and the support of their German neighbors with making being gone so much a little easier.
"Nonetheless, being away from my family in times of such global tension was still very unsettling," Thames said.
Thames, Cardell, and their two daughters now live in San Antonio and can be reached via e-mail at: email@example.com.
Fausto Meza '00 and Michelle Meza '01 happily announce the birth of their son, Andrew, at New York Hospital in May 2004. Sina Meisamy '01, Brooklyn, New York, is a radiology resident at Kings County Medical Center and the State University of New York. He was a first author of an article published in the November 2004 issue of Radiology on the use of MRI and MR spectroscopy for the prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. For his work with this manuscript, Meisamy received the Research Trainee Prize Award at the 2003 Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting. He received the same award at the 2004 RSNA annual meeting on behalf of work which shows how quantitative MR spectroscopy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast MRIs by helping radiologists distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Meisamy is the first person in 91 years to receive the RSNA's Research Trainee Prize Award two years in a row. Harvey Castro '02 is living in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, and has shifted from a family practice residency to emergency medicine. Classmates may reach him by e-mail at: email@example.com. Hangnga Vu '03 is doing well in California at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. She misses everyone and wishes all of her former classmates the best.

Engis says its Hyprez Five Star/US diamond compound is suitable for use in virtually all polishing applications. In particular, it is designed to produce high-luster finishes on molds. The compound combines the cutting characteristics of natural diamond with the durability of manufactured diamond to create an all-purpose, precision blend that is said to increase cutting speeds and lengthen service life.
The formulation, which has been engineered to withstand severe lapping conditions without loss of cutting quality, provides increased surface coverage and improves impregnation of lapping tools. It can be used with both oil- and water-soluble lubricants to meet specific material and surface finish requirements.

The bus driver was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for a neck injury, as well as a 12-year-old and 9-year-old for head and neck pain.
Szwaczkowski was ticketed for following too closely.

Colorado will recruit more JC players, Mike MacIntyre says
BOULDER — Once Colorado's season finale at Utah ends Saturday, the coaches will concentrate on recruiting. The Buffaloes expect to sign some junior college players, before a difficult landscape for Colorado coaches to maneuver.
"We are recruiting some," coach Mike MacIntyre said at his weekly press luncheon Tuesday. "We have some coming in for a visit over the next couple weekends. So, we'll know after those weekends just how many we will sign. Well, we only have room for eight guys to come in in January. I don't think we'll get to eight but, that's all the room we have at this point because we have eight guys that are graduating in December."
It's easier for Colorado to recruit JCs, MacIntyre said, thanks to the NCAA. Before, some four-year schools could accept as many physical education credits as they wanted. Today, they can only transfer two PE credits, leveling the field for schools such as Colorado.
