Slots still open for Fortunato golf tourney
NATCHEZ — Signup is still ongoing for the Joe Fortunato Celebrity Golf Classic Saturday at Duncan Park, and members of the community are urged to help fill the remaining slots.
The annual tournament raises money for the Miss-Lou Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame's annual football scholarship fund, which awards six local prep football players with scholarship money. The $10,000 is divided between the six scholar athletes at the chapter's annual awards banquet in February.
Brian Fisher, the chapter's president, said 72 golfers are currently signed up, and the event usually features between 90 and 105 golfers each year.
"We definitely need some more players for sure," Fisher said. "All the money from this tournament funds those athletes."
Noteworthy names who will be on hand include former Dallas Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis and former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Noland Smith. A returning favorite will be Natchez native and former Green Bay Packers tight end Allen Brown, who will once again be providing food at the tournament — breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"He's cooked in this tournament for as long as I can remember," Fisher said. "Everyone in town knows him, and he does a phenomenal job. The food is kind of what this tournament is known for."
Great River Chevrolet will sponsor four hole-in-one prizes, as well as two drawings for an additional chance to win an automobile. The two winners of the drawings will have an attempt to hit a hole-in-one from 175 yards out on hole No. 1. A ball drop has also been added, and out of 200 balls, whichever lands closest to the hole or goes in the hole first, the owner of that ball wins $1,000.
"Last year we were a couple of dollars short to cover the cost of the scholarships, so this year we thought we'd add the ball drop to bridge that gap," Fisher said.
Fisher said the tournament provides for an important cause, and that's what keeps folks coming out year after year.
"Everyone loves sports, but these kids aren't just winning games, they participate in the community and make good grades," Fisher said. "When you get a group like this that pushes the sports side and the community involvement side, people want to support it."
The tournament's namesake, former Bears linebacker Joe Fortunato, will not be on-hand this year, Fisher said.
"It's still going to go on," Fisher said. "Joe wouldn't want it any other way."

Toilet Plumbing Issue
DIY team:
When we flush one of our toilets it begins filling as usual. But within a few seconds a loud noise comes from the shut-off valve - like someone turned up the volume to max on the "running water" sound we usually only slightly hear when the water is going through the shut-off valve to the toilet tank.
Any ideas on what can cause this and what things I could do to troubleshoot this so it is quiet again?
Thank you, jgb, aka "John"

Advanced dimensions in breast cancer detection
Radiological Associates of Sacramento (RAS) is Northern California's premier provider of specialty health care services, including diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology and interventional neuroradiology, radiation oncology, PET/nuclear medicine, hematology/medical oncology, gynecologic oncology, urology and thoracic/vascular surgery.
Where: 1640 East Roseville Parkway No. 100, Roseville
Phone: (916) 784-2277
Website: www.radiological.com/default.aspx
Starting April 1, doctors in California must tell patients if a mammogram reveals they have dense breasts. Last September, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law requiring health facilities to explain that breast density is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer, that it makes mammograms harder to read and that "a range of screening options are available." Breast cancer risk is affected by a variety of factors, among them the density of breast tissue (meaning more glands and fibrous tissue relative to fat, according to a Radiological Associates of Sacramento press release.
Radiological Associates of Sacramento is the first breast imaging provider to offer breast tomosynthesis, also referred to as 3D mammography, giving local patients access to the latest generation of breast cancer detection technology.
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis employs 3-dimensional imaging that produces digitally reconstructed breast images. The improved accuracy of a 3D mammogram is known to increase the detection rate of early breast cancer and may reduce the number of false-positive exams.
"What makes this technology so exciting is that we are now able to view more vivid mammograms, resulting in greater detail and significantly fewer call-backs," said Dr. Hani Greiss, executive committee chair, RAS Diagnostic Division.
Breast tomosynthesis allows physicians to view the breast layer by layer and provides a clearer image of breast tissue, which can help distinguish superimposed tissue from real abnormalities, thus decreasing the need for further examinations and callbacks.
The machine delivers images of the breast from several different angles. These images essentially divide the breast into 15 layers that measure about 1.5 millimeters each. Greiss believes that being able to view the breast tissue one layer at a time improves the chances of finding smaller cancers at earlier stages and is especially helpful in women with dense breasts.
"The advantages of 3D mammography are the reduction in callbacks by up to one-third," Greiss said.
Greiss is confident the new technology can detect cancers that may otherwise go a year or more without being diagnosed when using traditional mammography. He plans to add a second machine to the Roseville location this year.
"3D mammography has exceeded our expectations," Greiss said. "The machines are fast and comfortable for the patient, and we are confident in their benefits."
Because the tests are new, insurance companies may not cover them and may require patients to pay out of pocket. But RAS isn't charging patients the difference at this point.
"If a patient wants this technology, we will make sure they get it," Greiss said.
Patients need to request the 3D machine from their primary care physician and obtain a referral to RAS first.
"We only have one machine at this point in time, so if a patient would like this technology, requesting the machine during the initial appointment is their best way to secure an appointment," Greiss said.
But the new technology isn't without controversy. A study posted in theNew England Journal of Medicine suggests that mammography routinely finds cancers that would be better left unfound – cancers that would not progress, and do not need treatment. Furthermore, the study states that "despite substantial increases in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with advanced cancer, leading to substantial overdiagnosis, accounting for nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers and that screening is having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast cancer."
Greiss understands the findings of the study, but remains convinced that early detection is still the best chance they have to saves lives.
"Regular 2D mammography, especially in dense breast tissue, may not show smaller cancers," he said.
Although there is no data to prove that tomosynthesis finds more cancer or saves lives, Griess and his team at RAS are excited to have the cutting-edge technology that is making their jobs and, more importantly, their patients' lives, a lot easier.

AbstractStructured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI) and the Cornell Nanophotonics Group propose to develop and commercialize a new form of optical isolator which can be incorporated into integrated photonics platforms. The Recuperative Optical Isolator is of a completely new design based upon waveguide birefringence allows directionally dependent scattering, optical properties not previously used for optical isolation. Our design takes advantage of the effects of waveguide birefringence for semiconductor optical waveguides, and does not require exotic materials with strong magneto-optical properties. The recuperative optical isolator can be fabricated using standard semiconductor fabrication materials and processes. SMI proposes developing this isolator and implementing it on our silicon CMOS-compatible integrated photonics platform currently under development. In Phase I of the program we will model and refine the isolator design and in Phase II the isolator will be fabricated at a commercial CMOS foundry.

Is Beauty an Ancient History?
Garcia-Rivera, Alex, U.S. Catholic
Lamenting the lack of beauty in modern life, author Alex Garcia-Rivera looks to the ancient cave paintings of Lascaux as evidence that irk through the beautiful that we truly experience God.
"I remember standing in front of the paintings of the horses facing the rhinos and being profoundly moved by the artistry. Tears were running down my cheeks. I was witnessing one of the world's great masterpieces."
Jean Clottes, France's foremost expert on prehistoric art, so describes his response to the Stone Age paintings found deep in a cave at Lascaux, France. Clottes' response rings true for anyone who has experienced a work of beauty. Interestingly enough, it also rings true for anyone who has had a deep religious experience.
Beauty and religion appear to have the same roots. Most theologians would go even further: God is beauty. And the beautiful is the medium par excellence by which we experience the love and knowledge of God.
A look around some contemporary churches, however, reveals few works of art of recent origin. Church after church interior presents a visual silence of stark function and hospital-like economy. Given the close connection between God and the beautiful, one can only ask: Why have the arts fared so poorly in the churches of our day? where are our Gothic craftsmen, our Michelangelos, Berninis, and Donatellos?
What has happened to the beautiful, not only in the church, but also in the fabric of our society?
Perhaps an answer can be found in another simple observation. What amazes most about the Stone Age cave paintings is not the fact of their great age, but that after scores of millennia, these ancient paintings still move another human being to tears.
The cave paintings at Lascaux demonstrate a truth our world seems to have forgotten. There exist values that transcend space and time. There exist realities that pervade the entire universe either through the vast reaches of unimaginable light-years of space or the vast journeys of unimaginable aeons of time. There exist presences that allow us an intimacy with God.
Theologians and philosophers have long spoken of these values, presences, and realities. These are the "transcendentals": the true, the good, and the beautiful.
The transcendentals provide a key in understanding a theological paradox. How can a finite human creature experience or even speak of the infinite God? How can the finite human creature name the nameless, perceive the imperceptible, make visible the invisible?
Theologians answer these questions through the transcendentals. Because God is truth, good, even beauty itself, an experience of truth, goodness, or beauty is also an experience of intimacy with God.
Because we depend on God for our very existence, we also depend on our experience of truth, goodness, and beauty for our very lives. Irenaeus, the great theologian of the second century, exquisitely phrased it: "The glory of the Lord is living human being, and human being lives for the vision of God." Irenaeus tells us that we were made to see God, our very life depends on seeing God, and thus in a sense our very lives depend on seeing truth, goodness, and beauty.
Beauty, wherefore art thou?
If Irenaeus is correct, then we are in deep, deep trouble. The transcendentals, you see, have fallen on hard times. The dearth of works of beauty in our churches is but one example. When was the last time you heard someone speak of truth? When was the last time you heard someone speak of the common good?
The human horrors of the 20th century--the lingering nightmares of two world wars, a cold war of unbelievable destruction, and the heartlessness of ethnic cleansing--have shaken our confidence in the truthfulness and goodness of our humanity, indeed, of the entire creation.
We have lost our faith in the transcendentals, I believe, because we have lost our faith in our humanity. …

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported $2.3 million in revenue from the sale of commercial, industrial and other lands, which generated $1.4 million in net income to the Company compared to $9.1 million in revenue and $3.1 million in net income during the first quarter of 2012.President and Chief Executive Officer Roger A. Cregg said the Company's dual initiatives of growing revenue and lowering costs through operational efficiency are improving bottom line performance. "We continue to focus on improving our building processes to drive margin improvement and better align our product offerings with our customers' expectations. During the quarter, this process contributed to an increase in our contribution margin (excluding impairments) from 13% to 16% on a year-over-year basis," Cregg said. "We are also benefitting from the strengthening homebuilding economy, especially in Central Florida where we have a significant inventory of lots and land. We are now deploying some of these assets into our Joseph Carl Homes division to serve first-time and move-up home buyers. The Orlando market is experiencing a decline in community inventories and we are well positioned to take advantage of this trend," Cregg added.

A Dialogue of Dedicated Parents
If we can measure successful parenting by the amount of thought put into raising teens, then the young people of Central Technical School are in good hands. A few weeks ago, two dozen parents joined me, the Principal and the TDSB Superintendent of Schools to bat around ideas raised by Teens Gone Wired. Here are a few comments pulled from several hours of animated discussion that will give you a flavour of the depth and range of the dialogue.
- What I like about the book is that I can see I'm not on my own – other people have these same issues.
- I found the whole approach of the book very calming with its emphasis on issues and values.
- My house rule is that everyone must turn off their cell phone and put it on the counter if they are sitting down at the table. This goes for my teenage son and his friends, as well as my husband and any other guests.
- By texting my son, I was able to reconnect with the child I remembered. He was so impressed that "this cavewoman" could text, that he opened up to me again.
- When I ask my kids to tutor me on the computer, I request that I get on the keyboard rather than just watching them do it. That way I make sure I really understand.
- I played the game of Halo with my son because I wanted to see what it was all about.
- Your kids need to know that one-way texting is not a conversation. Things are not confirmed unless I text back.
- I like the focus on strategies in the book because the specific technologies and their uses are changing every 6 months.
- What the book is doing in our family is helping open the conversation.
The Discussion Guide for Parents is now posted here. Thank you to the School Council (PTA) of Central Technical School for their collaboration, with special thanks to the two dozen Book Club participants and the CTS School Council Executive: Hilarie Klapman - Chair, Maria Russell - Secretary, Joy Brickell - CTS School Council Past-Chair and organizer of the book talk, Fatima Ferreira -Treasurer, as well as Sheryl Freeman - CTS Principal and Karen Falconer - TDSB Superintendent of Schools.

Banks join on credit database
Twenty of the world's largest banks are collaborating on a central credit database to reduce fraud.
This Article Covers
Risk management
The database, called the Global Regulatory Information Database (Grid), is being operated by Regulatory DataCorp International, an organisation set up in 2002 by 20 global banks, it was announced last week.
Participating banks include Goldman Sachs, American Express, Credit Suisse First Boston, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch. Through Grid, the participating banks will be able to run global background checks on customers.
According to RDC, the Grid will hold information from about 1.5 million individual and business names drawn from over 22,000 international and US public record sources, including government lists, media and regulatory actions.
James Mintz Group, a New York-based company that specialises in gathering international security data, will be providing the RDC with access to regulatory agencies in more than 50 countries.
The database will be used by banks to comply with anti-terrorism and anti-money-laundering regulations under the US Patriot Act.
According to a report in March this year from analyst company TowerGroup, US brokerages will spend £441m by 2005 on technology and outsourcing services to comply with the US anti-terrorism regulations.
TowerGroup estimated that 39% of this expenditure would be spent on integrating back-end systems, and 35% would be spent on new software.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

To get a shot of Hillary's ankles, you would need two cameras.
Sorry for the delay in the response. I had to find my back up keyboard.
Now be quiet. If you're not hysterical you won't have many friends.
I am still debating if I should click the "Report Abuse" button.
Appropriate? No. But to use "indecent" in the headline (I know it was the author/editor that used that in the title and not you) is a ridiculous stretch. I guess the author/editor would think the pics I take of a high school drill team doing high kicks are "indecent" too.
On a related note, see the attached virus warning:
If you get an e-mail with "Nude Photos of Sarah Palin" in the subject line, do not open it. It might contain a virus.
If you get an e-mail with "Nude Photos of Hillary Clinton" in the subject line, do not open it. It might contain nude photos of Hillary Clinton.
A virus could cause irreparable damage to your computer; the other could cause irreparable damage to your brain.
Oddly enough, I feel more sorry for the guy in the front row. I'd hate to be him today.
This thread needs pictures (of ANYTHING except Helen Thomas)
It sounds like you were disappointed. /s
Thanks, that just cured me from a priapism problem.
Because it is WRONG to point out that Obama went to Hawaii to work on his tan. Notice the wristwatch white spot on his left arm and the shirt sleeves.
Look away, Bill. Look away.
Ask Mullah Barry.
Because they're implying this!
Why must you do that?
If you were anywhere near me, i'd slap you upside the back of your head.
Notice the phallic-looking shadow that the candle casts on the wall in the upper-left corner of the picture. The shadow doesn't seem to match the wall sconce very well.
re: the mistreatment of Governor Palin
This form of yellow journalism has been in America for a very long time. Frank Capra took the press to task over such actions in his film Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.
they've always been jerks engaging in propaganda.
After clintoon, I thought sex was no big deal. Where's NOW?

I checked back about 5 pages to see if this had already been shared and didn't see it (don't want to be annoying and post a repeat! Although,Āthis is so sweet it would be a good one to repeat...). This young girl was a valedictorian at her middle school "graduation" and talked about the profound effect her younger brother w/ DS has had on her. It is SO sweet to hear of her love and admiration for her brother! I know that one of my many worries when I was expecting my baby boy was how my other kids' lives would be affected by having a brother with special needs. They love him so much that I don't worry anymore, but I do still wonder about how it'll be when he's older and not just a cute little baby anymore. This is awesome!
Such an inspiring video!

and the State
There is a remarkable degree of academic consensus about the genesis of citizenship.1 Its main premiss is that citizenship must be understood in terms of rights. Its main conclusion is that rights are won through social struggle by subordinate groups. It is by struggling to 'improve their lot' ( Giddens 1982: 171) and being 'willing to fight' ( Tarrow 1990: 103) that these groups come to 'demand and obtain citizen rights' ( Clarke 1993: 19). Even if this struggle involves 'apparently trivial, ineffectual, or self-serving actions', it can have an eventual impact on the great issues of 'political right and obligation' ( Tilly, Tilly, and Tilly 1975: 299). But, these rights are not granted easily or willingly. On the contrary, the historical record suggests that 'collective violence' is often required to 'overcome the resistance of the government' ( Tilly, Tilly, and Tilly 1975: 184). It is not political protest by single individuals but the 'collective struggles of the dispossessed' that have won the 'rights of citizens' ( Bowles and Gintis 1987: p. x). Almost paradoxically, the essentially individual rights of citizenship can only be achieved through different forms of collective struggle.
Traditionally, these collective struggles have been understood to express class conflict, and especially the rise of the working class. The English school of social history ( Dobb 1963; Hill 1958; Thompson 1974; Hobsbawm 1968; Hilton 1976) has shown that____________________

Forts McPherson,Gillem honor fallen at Patriot Day ceremonies
September 21, 2009
By Mr. Kevin Stabinsky (IMCOM)
Story Highlights
- Patriot Day
- 9/11
"We gather here today to remember and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to commemorate the eighth annual observation of Patriot Day," said Maj. Gen. Dean Sienko, commander, 3rd Medical Command Deployment Support at the Fort Gillem Patriot Day Ceremony Sept. 11.
With those words, Sienko addressed those who took time to remember the sacrifices made eight years earlier on Sept. 11, 2001, and the current sacrifices stemming from that tragedy.
"Let this day always be a reminder to our fellow Americans and the world (of) why we fight in freedom's cause and why we must fight and win this war on terrorism," he said.
Although some focus was on remembering the past, the remembrance also opened eyes to the blessings that have been overlooked.
"Today, we remember all the blessings we have as a nation," Sienko said.
Chief among those blessings is our God-given right to freedom and liberty, said Chap. (Lt. Col.) Alan Pomaville, deputy command chaplain, 3rd MDSC, adding that these rights are protected by brave men and women in the armed forces. In celebrating these rights, people need to remember the men and women of today who are fighting against tyranny, said Pomaville.
"I think it is very important to remember those who gave their lives for freedom, (and) honor those who gave sacrifices like our wounded warriors and those still serving," he said.
One of the guests in attendance has made it his calling to honor those serving today, and brought some inspiration and a special guest to the ceremony.
Jeff Hilliard, president of Operation Worship, works through his organization to provide Bibles to servicemembers and bring Christian artists to perform and enhance morale.
Hilliard said Operation Worship began 10 years ago when he heard about Christian chaplains having difficulty providing enough Bibles during field services.
To fill the need, Hilliard started his bible ministry to provide Bibles for servicemembers overseas. Currently, four of the five branches of the Armed Forces have a version of their service, with a Coast Guard version due out next year.
"Every Bible is signed by an American who writes some encouragement inside," Hilliard said, noting last year that 225,000 Bibles were shipped by his organization.
Pomaville met Hilliard while serving at the Pentagon. Noting Hilliard's success at motivating Soldiers at Fort Belvoir, Va. and Pentagon events, he worked, along with support from the leadership of 3rd MDSC, the U.S. Army Garrison Chapel, the First Army Chaplain's Office and the Chief of Chaplains Office, to bring Hilliard to the ceremony.
In turn, Hilliard brought Christian musical artist Bethany Dillon, who performed at the event and afterward in concert.
"Music brings feelings of comfort," Sienko said before presenting the band with a flag flown over the Pentagon.
Sienko mentioned the staff of the Pentagon when speaking of current operations.
"For those in the Pentagon, their hard work helped build the armed forces that we have today and paved the way for this important fight. Our success on this war on terrorism wouldn't have been possible without the sacrifices they have made before Sept. 11."
Sienko said although future success will require more sacrifices and the road may be "a long, hard struggle requiring our patience, our commitment and our will," the Army has an even longer history of patriotism and willingness to fight for liberty and freedom.
"While the occasion is still relatively new, the concept is as old as our republic's founding ideals and the belief we cherish in our heart that freedom will triumph over tyranny," he explained.
"(A patriot is someone) who loves his land, prizes its principles and cherishes its creed. A patriot so reveres the ideals of his home country that he is willing to lay down his life to ensure that those ideals endure," Sienko said.
"As the rest of the nation remembers, let us recommit ourselves to their cause and to our mission: the triumph of freedom over tyranny."

text: American College of Surgeons Quality Programs Trauma Trauma Education 2016 Trauma Papers Competition 2016 Trauma Papers Competition 2015 Trauma Papers Announcement 2016 Trauma Papers Competition 2015 Trauma Papers Announcement The American College of Surgeons' Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) announces the Call for Abstracts for the 2015 Resident Trauma Papers Competition. Eligibility The competition is open to all general surgery residents, surgical specialty residents, and trauma fellows. Medical students are not eligible. To be eligible for presentation at the national level, abstracts submitted may have been previously presented but not published as full papers in any peer-reviewed journal before March 9, 2016. Submission of Military/Civilian Resident Trauma Papers If you are a resident or fellow in the U.S. military, the abstract must be submitted through the ACS COT Military Region, regardless of whether the work was performed in a military or civilian institution. If you are a civilian resident or fellow, the abstract must be submitted through your geographic region, regardless of whether the work was performed in a military or civilian institution. Exceptions may be made only through a mutual discussion and decision by the respective Region Chiefs. Scope The abstracts should describe original research in trauma, critical care, or injury prevention. The topics can be categorized as either: basic laboratory research or clinical investigation. Two abstracts from each ACS COT Region (one abstract from each category) are submitted for consideration for presentation at the national meeting, but only one will be selected for the national competition. Submission Schedule Residents or trauma fellows should submit a three-page abstract to the appropriate ACS Regional Committee on Trauma (RCOT) Chair. The dates for regional competitions vary, but the last date RCOT Chairs may submit abstracts from local competitions to the appropriate Region Chief is November 15. Each Region Chief will establish a regional competition to select one abstract in basic laboratory research and one abstract in clinical investigation for consideration for presentation at the national competition. The Region Chief will submit two copies of each abstract (one blind copy with only the paper's title for judging and one with the principal author's name, institution, phone, fax, and e-mail) to the Trauma Office by December 14, 2015. A pre-selected panel of judges from the COT will rank the abstracts and select a balance of basic and clinical abstracts—representing each of the COT Regions—by early January 2016. Each regional winner will be notified shortly thereafter. Specifications for Preparation and Submission of Abstracts The abstract should be no more than three pages and provide adequate information and objective data to evaluate the abstract properly. The abstract should be submitted electronically, preferably as a Word document. It is permissible to single space the abstract. At the top of the first page, the full title of the abstract and full name of the principal author, with academic degrees, are to be stated. At the bottom of the first page, a footnote should be included to provide the principal author's mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address. This contact information is very important. Awards and Presentation of Papers Winning residents will attend the Annual Meeting of the Committee on Trauma in San Diego, CA. The competition will pay for coach airfare to the meeting, and up to a three-day hotel stay for each winning resident. Papers will be presented during the Scientific Session on Thursday afternoon, March 10, 2016. All regional winners are expected to attend the COT Banquet on March 11, 2016, where the winners of the national competition will be announced. The competition is funded by the Eastern and Western States Committees on Trauma, Region 7 Committees on Trauma, and the ACS. The first-place papers from both categories will be eligible for publication (after the Annual Meeting) in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. Find the name of the local COT Chair. For any other information regarding the Residents Trauma Paper Competition, contact the ACS Trauma Programs Office at 312-202-5380 or Bridget Blackwood at email@example.com 2015 Competition The ACS Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) held its 38th Annual Residents Trauma Papers Competition during the ACS COT Annual Meeting in Chicago on March 12. Submissions described original research in the area of trauma care and/or prevention in one of two categories—basic laboratory research or clinical investigation. Review the winners and their paper presentation titles.

Loose Lips Daily: Mayor Arne Duncan Edition
Correction: This blog post originally stated that the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute is warning city officials against going crazy over bong rating agencies' concern about the District's dwindling amount of reserve funds. In fact, the DCFPI's warning applies to bond rating agencies' concerns.

Josh Lopez Collects 3k Signatures Special Election is Going to Be Costly Child Welfare Director Responds to City Paper
Good morning sweet readers! Good game last night. Anyone know what a "war eagle" is? News time:
Let's Talk About Kaya: The Washington Post reports today that U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan told Mayor Vince Gray to install Kaya Henderson as the interim schools chancellor after Michelle Rhee announced she was leaving. "The day Michelle left, I called [Gray] and said, 'Let's put Kaya in there,'" Duncan told the Post, in an article focused on the fact that Duncan wants Henderson to stick around for the next ten years. Duncan then laughably added that he doesn't "want to micromanage this thing." Umm, Arne, it's nice that you give lipservice to not wanting to micromanage the District's business, but get real. You speak for the president. So when you say "let's put Kaya in there," did Gray really have a choice? The Post reports that Duncan also brought up the fact that the feds awarded $75 million to the District last year through the Race to the Top contest. "We're a partner," Duncan said, when he really meant You shall obey! Gray's spokeswoman gives the usual spiel about Hizonner being a big fan of Henderson but following a formal hiring process before deciding to name her as his permanent chancellor. Whatever. Does anyone think Gray's not going to offer her the gig? The WaPo editorial board praises Duncan's micromanaging, saying "Mr. Duncan cares passionately about the state of the District's school reforms, and his observations are worth noting." Observations are one thing, practically giving Gray his marching orders is another. In other education news, Education Week's completely useless yearly rankings of state's "educational performance and policymaking" are out. Maryland is again No. 1 (tell that to some of the kids in Baltimore) while the District is second to last (take that Nebraska!).
AFTER THE JUMP: Anita Bonds' Vote is Private; Carol Schwartz Is Not Running; Washington Post Just Gives Up in Video Making...
Leave Us Alone, Tim Craig!: The Post's intrepid city hall reporter continues to dog the D.C. Democratic State Committee over the secrecy surrounding their election of Sekou Biddle to an at-large council seat. Yesterday, Craig tried to get DCDSC Chairwoman Anita Bonds to say who she voted for. Bonds said her vote was private, but Craig points out that, "According to Democratic National Committee bylaws, 'all meetings ... and all other party committees, commissions and bodies shall be open to the public and votes shall not be taken by secret ballot.'" Whether those laws apply to the DCDSC is up for debate. Craig also noted that the DCDSC passed the collection bag around at the meeting, which DCist finds funny.
Carol Schwartz, Not Running: In case you were wondering whether the legendary Carol Schwartz was going to abandon the sun and warmth of Florida to compete in the special election, the answer is no. Bruce DePuyt catches up with Schwartz, who says, "I know it's very viable for a possible return ... This would certainly be my opportunity. I have good name recognition. And people tell me, 'We miss you, please run,' et cetera, et cetera." But alas, it's not meant to be.
Has the Washington Post just given up? This video tour of Gray's office suggests so. (Reporter: "So, yes, this is your desk?" Gray: "Yes.")
The Georgetown Dish promises a series on Ward 3 CM Mary Cheh, who they call "intense, brainy, and extremely tenacious." Also has pictures of CM' Sekou Biddle's first day.
The Examiner's Freeman Klopott finds it noteworthy that reporters were not allowed to sit in on Gray's first cabinet meeting.
Harry Jaffe likes the District's gun laws.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier will be on Newstalk. Rend Smith reports that the police union is saying a whistleblowing commander is being moved out of the Second District for his role in Groomesgate.
Georgetown students falls from fifth floor dorm room.
DC Fiscal Policy Institute says let's not go crazy over a bong rating agencies concern over the use of the fund balance.
Council schedule: Committees on Government, Economic Development and Judiciary meeting today, starting at 1 p.m.
Gray's schedule: private meet and greet in Ward 3, 6:30 p.m. Staff meetings at noon.
