|Secrets & Spies Book 1
During the tumultuous days of the Civil War, a heart's destiny cannot be denied when a daring Union spy abducts a beautiful runaway bride he suspects of being a traitor.
A Runaway Bride...
Emma Davenport was a model senator's daughter: prim, proper, but hell-bent on escaping the dreaded fate of spinsterhood that awaited her under wartime Washington's all-too watchful eye. She was going to be a bride, and no one was going to stop her. Not even the daring renegade who steals her from a train transporting her to a forbidden marriage. Her heart tells her this mysterious captor is a dangerous man, but the pleasure of his touch is a more potent threat than any weapon.
A Man on a Mission...
Union Army Major Cole Travis is a highly trained secret agent, as skilled with deception as he is with a gun. Keeping a beautiful traitor from her rendezvous with a treacherous scoundrel shouldn't be a challenge for the battle-seasoned spy—but he's not the only one after his tempting prisoner. Emma Davenport must be kept out of enemy hands at all costs. Drawn to this woman whose innocent allure may be just another weapon in her arsenal, Cole risks his neck to shield her. Soon, however, protecting her from his own heart's desire becomes another story entirely.
Book 1 in The Secrets & Spies series ~ Love stories infused with intrigue, danger and adventure during the Civil War
Previously published as Destiny (writing as Victoria Gray), 2010. This edition has been revised with new scenes added.

We pretty much freaked out that the one-and-only JLo has been repeatedly spotted wearing our leggings - and even tagged us in a few IG posts! We wanted to thank her by designing a print that we felt embodied one of her most famous fashionable moments. The first thing that popped in our heads was the eye-popping tropical green Versace dress she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2000. BTW, that dress was voted the 5th most iconic red carpet dresses of all time! For ICON, we incorporated green tropical leaves and added bold black and white stripes after being influenced by some of the costumes and stage sets in her amazing show, All I Have, here in Las Vegas. Dear Jennifer, we hope you love these almost as much as we love you!

Why activist investors are getting even more…active
The influence of activist hedge funds, from Icahn Enterprises to Pershing Square to Third Point, appears to be growing. And not among smaller companies where buying a significant stake means fewer resources are tied up, but among large, Fortune 500 companies.
What's behind this new muscle-flexing?
Activist hedge funds have been very, well… active lately, and their actions have had a major effect on the value of companies. The current run of successes has not been due to any one thing but to a nexus of circumstances and events. First, success breeds success, confidence is infectious. Second, there is the apparent lack of readiness among very large companies to deal with hedge funds. Finally, there is a general lack of confidence among the boards and management teams that hedge funds have challenged. All these are leading to activist triumphs.
Not only was Icahn Enterprises' campaign to force eBay to sell PayPal successful, causing the stock price to climb to a six-month high, Icahn's criticisms of eBay director Marc Andreessen's lack of independence resulted in him stepping down from the board.
Daniel Loeb's Third Point has been running a campaign to shake up auction house Sotheby's. This led to the announcement of CEO Bill Ruprecht's resignation and a significant uptick in the company's stock price. In addition, Loeb has now installed four independent directors on Dow Chemical's board, cementing the idea that hedge fund influence in U.S. boardrooms is on the rise. To be sure, the immediate increase in Dow's stock price was short-lived.
Pershing Square has also been busy. Bill Ackman's challenges to Herbalife (he accused it of being a pyramid scheme, which led to a government investigation) has led to a significant income slowdown at the company, much of it due to changes the company has made to its sales strategy to mitigate the pyramid-scheme allegations. Ackman also successfully sued to gain permission to vote his 10% stake in Botox-maker Allergan in support of a takeover of the company by rival drug company Valeant. Allergan had a poison pill in place, an instrument designed to prevent hostile takeovers, but the judge still ruled in Ackman's favor. In fact, the only way Allergan was able to avoid Ackman's power was by being taken over by yet another rival pharmaceutical firm, Actavis.
Outdoing Pershing Square, hedge fund Starboard Value not only ousted the CEO of Darden Restaurants (the owner of Olive Garden, among other chains), but, last month it replaced the entire 12-person board with its own nominees.
This is beginning to look like a trend.
A recent survey of directors by consultancy PwC concludes that big companies need to watch out because the activists are about. Directors at over a third of these large companies (over $10 billion in revenues) indicated they had had interactions with activists. By contrast, less than a fifth of smaller companies reported dealings with hedge funds.
Yes, some hedge funds have been instrumental in instituting change at large companies in the past—Relational Investors successfully changed management and compensation policy at both Occidental and Home Depot. However, the increased focus on the biggest companies is atypical and marks a new development. Hedge funds previously focused on smaller companies, where it was easier to acquire a significant stake with enough voting power to make changes. Now, these funds are using their success with small firms, which in many cases resulted in enormous gains, and devoting resources to taking large stakes in big companies.
At the largest companies, boards often do not expect the attention of hedge fund activists and are therefore not prepared and don't know how to react. This lack of confidence has allowed hedge funds to have their way with these companies.
But that's not all. Boards are crumbling in front of the likes of Loeb and Icahn because the value released by changes they are forcing through is making it more likely that other shareholders will support them. Replace directors? New CEO? Divestments? If it came to a vote, management and existing boards would likely lose the fight, so they capitulate before combat actually begins.
In most cases, these campaigns benefit all shareholders, so don't expect the hedge funds to go quiet any time soon.

All the images are unedited disposable camera shots and all the lyrics in quotes are from LANY's "Youarefire."
"Half days and Fridays and any days..."
I've been hustling 10-hour work days this week so that I could leave work at 11am.
"...any days without school."
It's summer and roadtrip season. The world is wild and awake and saturated in color and life and adventure.
"Means more days in more ways, I've been running around...with you."
Blake and I left Ames around lunch time and drove straight to Minneapolis. Coffee, and all black everything, and no rain, and good parking. The world was in our favour. The city was ours.
"This is it."
LANY went on just after 9pm and we sang and danced until the last song.
Midnight found us in a white peeling parking garage (some might call it 'ratchet'), then we drove home, hands full of cold pizza, road full of fog, and eyes full of startlingly clear Minnesota stars.
"We are gold.
You are fire."

By A.M. Sheehan
PARIS — The Paris Police Department has announced a new program to help locate missing people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, dementia or autism.
Individuals and their loved ones can come to the Paris Police Department to voluntarily provide information regarding those in the family who suffer from Alzheimer's or dementia and those with autism spectrum disorder.
The program is strictly voluntary. Based on the national Safe Return program, it is designed to assist the Paris Police Department in the swift and safe recovery of missing loved ones. In the unlikely event that a loved one wanders away, the Paris Police Department will already have all the necessary information needed to conduct a thorough and extensive search.
This relieves the family of having to attempt to locate the pertinent information during a time of stress and allows the family to focus on locating the loved one. All the data collected will be held in the strictest of confidence and used only by police.
"We hope it never has to be utilized, but it should provide a peace of mind for the family and the police knowing the information is readily available," said Interim Police Chief Jeffrey Lange.
The forms will be available at the Paris Police Department and on the Paris Police website under "On Line Forms" at www.parismaine.org/documents/forms/on-line-forms/ and can be emailed or dropped off to the police administrative assistant.
If you encounter someone showing signs of Alzheimer's disease, the person may seem uncooperative with no memory of what happened, despite easily verifiable events. Because Alzheimer's disease affects the part of the brain where memory is stored, the individual may be unable to answer your questions or understand the seriousness of the incident.
When you encounter a person with dementia:
• Identify yourself and explain why you've approached the person.
• Maintain good eye contact.
• Speak slowly in a nonthreatening, low-pitched voice.
• Loudness can convey anger; do not assume the person is hearing impaired.
• Use short, simple words.
• Ask "yes" and "no" questions.
• Ask one question at a time, allowing plenty of time for response.
• If necessary, repeat your question using the exact wording. People with dementia may only grasp a part of the question at a time.
• Instead of speaking, try nonverbal communication. Prompting with action works well.
• Maintain a calm environment, devoid of chaos and excessive stimuli.
• Avoid restraints; confinement may trigger agitation, which may compound confusion and disorientation.
• Avoid confrontation.
• Avoid correcting or "reality checks."
• If possible, use another individual to communicate if dialog seems stalled, but be sure that only one person speaks at a time.

Six BMRCL employees were arrested by the poice for assualting Karnataka State Industrial Security Force on duty at at Sir M Visveshwaraya Central College in Bengaluru.

BENGALURU: Namma Metro stations resumed at 11.30 am after a flash strike by employees had affected operations.
The employees were incensed that the Halasur gate police arrested six Bangalaore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) employees for assaulting policemen.
Thousands of Metro commuters who came to the station were left in the lurch and were sent back by officials at various stations, saying that operations were closed due to 'unscheduled maintenance'.
BMRCL personnel staged a protest against the arrest and demanded that the accused be released. They staged a protest at Byappanahalli police station.
Confirming that metro services were affected, the CPRO of BMRCL, U A Vasanth Rao tweeted: Train services temporarily stopped - will tweet once the issues are resolved.

A minor scuffle between Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and Karnataka State Industrial Security Force (KSISF) turned nasty after three KSISF personnel were assaulted on Thursday.
The incident was reported at Sir M Visveshwaraya Central College in Bengaluru.
A minor scuffle was reported between one Rakesh, a BMRCL employee, and Anand Guddad, a KDISF staffer, at around 6.10 am on Thursday.
Rakesh, while entering the station for his work had refused to scan his bag at the security check, stating that he was an employee. When Guddad insisted that he run his bag through the scanner, it resulted in a minor scuffle. His bag was then forcibly scanned by security personnel.
At around 9.40 am, Rakesh came back with four of his colleagues and assaulted Guddad and two others who came to his rescue. A police complaint was filed.

I recently reviewed Faces of the Civil War: An Album of Union Soldiers and Their Stories by Ron Coddington.
Ron has placed a really neat timeline of the writing process for the Union book on his web site. Check it out.
This interview is based on his book focusing on Union soldiers.
1. What is your favorite 2-3 stories in there and why?
Tough question! I feel as though I've come to know each of these men personally, and so find it difficult to pick and choose. The book is filled with stories of courage, endurance, tragedy and transformation that touch me in many ways. The narrative and images reveal human nature and make the 150 years and several generations that separate us from these men disappear. These are the men whose grandfathers fought the Revolution, and whose grandsons became part of what Tom Brokaw labels the "The Greatest Generation."
One anecdote I like to relate happened after my first copy of Faces of the Civil War arrived in the mail from The Johns Hopkins University Press. At the time I worked at USA TODAY, and brought it into the office to show it off to my co-workers like a proud father with his first child. The first person I shared it with sat in the cube next to mine. I handed her the book and she immediately flipped to the index. Curious I thought, but, as she is a researcher by profession, it seemed to make sense. I watched as she ran her finger down a page. Then her finger stopped and she paused. Then she looked up at me and said, "This is my great-grandfather!" She referred to Pvt. Samuel Noyes of the Twelfth New Hampshire Infantry. Noyes left school to enlist, suffered a wound at Gettysburg, and went on to become an officer in the First U.S. Infantry. He barely survived the war, dying of tuberculosis in 1870. His wife and a child survived him.
What is the chance that one of the 77 soldiers in my book (one of 2.2 million Union volunteers) would be a direct ancestor to the woman who sits next to me? This is one of many unusual connections I've made over the years.
2. Which couple stories seem to be favorites of your readers who have communicated to you?
The story most often mentioned by most readers is that of 1st Lt. Amos Rhoads of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry. The extreme effort by his wife to recover her husband's remains is among the most poignant accounts of the war I've ever come across. A number of stories take second place — too many to name.
3. How many Union CDVs did not get in the book?
I included almost every identified image in my collection at the time. Since completing the manuscript in 2003, I've collected a number of additional photographs. Many of these are featured in "Faces of War," a monthly column I research and write for the Civil War News.
A side note: Hundreds of thousands of cartes de visite of soldiers and citizens survive from the Civil War period, an almost infinite source of material for research.
4. Will there be a series for the Union/CSA subjects?
I've never thought seriously about the idea of a series, although you might think of both books and my forthcoming volume on African Americans as one. The best outcome I can imagine is that my books (and column) will help raise awareness of the importance of the visual record of the citizen soldiers who volunteered, and that these unique photographs are preserved and documented for future generations in some form.
In context, my work builds on the 1970s and 1980s pioneer efforts of William A. Albaugh's Confederate Faces and More Confederate Faces, and William A. Turner's Even More Confederate Faces. These men led the way after the centennial of the Civil War, when little information was available about these images, and perhaps even less value attached to them. Since then, these precious images have become highly sought after and appreciated for their historic value. More and more of these photographs are included in today's books. I hope other current academic and non-academic historians, and those who follow us, will add to and build the body of scholarship around the role and experience of soldiers below the rank of colonel through the use of period photographs.
Someday, I'd love to see a single database that contains high-resolution scans of all extant wartime cartes de visite, tintypes and ambrotypes of Union and Confederate soldiers.
General questions:
1. How is the African American volume coming?
I am on schedule to complete the manuscript in mid-2011. If all goes according to plan, the book will be released to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the passage of Congressional acts that lead to the formation of the first African American regiments during the war.
This book will follow the same format as my others. However, to accurately capture the African American war experience, this volume departs in two subtle ways from the Union and Confederate books. Because men of color were not legally allowed to be soldiers until almost midway through the war, I am including a small group of those who served as aides and in other support roles, the only serious alternatives for African Americans who wanted to get directly involved in the war effort. Also, for the first time I am including tintypes and ambrotypes. Identified, wartime images of African Americans are the rarest of the rare, so I've had to broaden my search beyond the carte de visite format to locate enough photographs to support a book.
By the way, many good people I spoke with early on were skeptical about the possibilities of doing this book because they thought I'd not be able to find enough images, and, if I did, that their stories would not be very interesting because they served primarily behind the front lines. I'm here to tell you that they were wrong on both counts! I currently have enough photographs for the book. And I've found that many of these soldiers saw action and participated in some of the most dramatic moments of the war, including the fall of Richmond and other events. These are the transformative stories of the war, from slaves to soldiers to freedmen.
2. Have you been able to find CSA African American soldiers in uniform?
None so far. I have found one wartime image of a white Confederate soldier and his African American servant. Both men are identified. Their stories and the image are scheduled to be included in the book.
3. Do you plan on a future book on women in CDVs?
My editor and I discussed a possible book on wartime civilians, which would include women, men and children, and their direct and indirect role in the war. Definitely could be a future project!
4. Do you own an original copy of all the CDVs in your books?
I own all the cartes de visite in the Union book, but only two in the Confederate volume. To date, I have two identified African American images in my collection, and both will be included.

I was privileged to spend time with a man named John Breck. He had been educated in France, Germany, then Brown and Yale in America. Just a brilliant guy. He taught me about the Orthodox Church. The depth of his theological knowledge was profound.
One morning John prayed one of the most beautiful prayers I've ever heard. He attributed it to monks in the Optina Monastery in Russia and said it was probably 19th Century. I asked him if he would share the prayer with me. Of course he did; in retrospect, what a silly question – why would anyone refuse to share a prayer?
So today I share this prayer with you. I've prayed it many times the last 20 years and find it always a powerful way to start the day. Please, cut this prayer out and put it in your Bible, by your devotional space, or on the fridge…
O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace.
Help me in all things to rely upon your holy will.
In every hour of the day reveal your will to me.
Bless my dealing with all who surround me.
Teach me to treat all that come to me throughout the day
with peace of soul and firm conviction
that your will governs all.
In all my deeds and words guide my thoughts and feelings.
In unforeseen events let me not forget that all are sent by you.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without
embittering or embarrassing others.
Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring.
Direct my will.
Teach me to pray.
Pray yourself in me.

Letter from the RFC Chair: On Batons and Transitions
By Charles A. Odonkor, MD, MA
Dear Colleagues:
One of my favorite events to watch at the Olympics is the relay race. I ran this event myself back in college and enjoyed that it involved interdependence of all members of the team. In a relay event, the first runner passes the baton to the next team member after completing his leg of the race. The timing of the pass is critical! The exchange of the baton must happen within a specific area called the exchange zone, otherwise, the whole team risks being disqualified. While winning depends on each person running their fastest on their leg of the race, it is even more crucial that the baton exchange happen seamlessly. Therein lies the secret to winning. Persons involved in the baton pass must both be in motion, strictly adhere to the rules, trust and know each other's abilities, and have confidence that the baton would be passed successfully.
This past year, I've had the absolute pleasure and privilege of running my leg of the race. As Chair of the RFC for the 2016–2017 cycle we have accomplished a lot together. Resident health and wellness has been a unifying thread of my term and we have laid the groundwork for various initiatives highlighted in the Holiday Edition of the newsletter. I enjoyed hearing from residents and fellows from all across the country who are passionate about our field and are working diligently to move physiatry forward.
On January 20, 2017, I witnessed the transition of power as a new administration took over the reins of control with the inauguration of a new president of the United States. Leadership transitions done properly help to safeguard continuity and progress for the success of the community. Although it may not be clear what the presidential transition of power holds for the healthcare system in the United States, at the AAP RFC it is our firm belief that physiatry must continue to evolve as we champion the role of function and advocate for our patients in a new healthcare economy.
As incumbent, I am pleased to pass on the baton to the chair designate, Dr. Kunj Patel, whom I've closely worked with throughout the year. I am confident that he will run his course well, help continue the many good projects started in 2016 and rally the incoming council towards excellence and a successful 2017. I will be staying on as immediate-past Chair, to provide counsel when needed and help the new team hit the ground running.
I hope you will join us in Las Vegas on Friday, February 10, 3:00 pm — 4:30 pm at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Oceanside D, level 2, as new candidates present their bid for the 2017–2018 Resident Fellow Council. We are really thrilled about the high quality of applications this year and feel reassured that with your help, a new set of motivated leaders will be elected to serve you on the next RFC.
If you're an RFC Alumni, please join us at the RFC Alumni networking social, which takes place on Thursday, February 9th, from 8:30 pm to 10:30pm at the Border Grill at the Mandalay Bay Resort, in Las Vegas.

From Doctor to Dr. Mom — Not Really that Big of a Deal, Right?
One Female Resident's Perspective
By Emily Boyd, MD
This is an article I started writing almost a year ago when I was at the height of my emotional transition from resident physician to 'working Mom'…now, over 12 months later, it has found completion. Despite the time delay, I still feel that those same questions I pondered last year remain ever present, not only in my own mind, but also at the forefront of today's society. Here you have it:
As I sit here half-naked, with what was no doubt concocted as some medieval torture device strapped to my chest, otherwise referred to as a 'breast pump', I contemplate my passage into motherhood, as well as a number of other things — 1) how ridiculous I feel, 2) why I even bother putting a shirt on these days, and 3) the fact that there is absolutely no way to prepare anyone for how drastic of a change it is to become a parent. I feel like I am constantly overwhelmed with all sorts of emotions (maybe it's the hormones?), but most of all, I was already sensing the dread creeping in as my thoughts drifted to returning to work and leaving my precious little one, with whom I had become so well acquainted, but yet was just starting to get to know.
Through all the emotion and contemplation, I was left pondering, am I doing the right thing? Are we, as a medical community, embracing the role of motherhood to the best of our ability? The career demands placed on women and men of today's society are fairly equal, yet there remains a seemingly striking inequity in the world of child rearing, often forcing women to choose between sacrificing their career or sacrificing their family. This is especially not an easy choice in the world of medicine, where most females have amassed the same amount of debt and committed just as much time and energy to their training as their male counterparts.
When I was pregnant, people frequently inquired about how much time I would have off for maternity leave. I found that I was usually faced with one of two responses…either "What!? That's it?" or "That's pretty good." I took 6 weeks off which was a combination of all of my vacation, sick, and personal leave days. I could have utilized FMLA to have an extra six weeks; however, this would have prolonged my training and would have been unpaid time off without benefits, which quite honestly we couldn't afford to do financially as a family on a resident's salary.
After returning to work, I had a fairly constant and overwhelming sense that I was doing it all wrong — there had to be a better way. I found myself continually comparing my abilities (at least internally), with all those "working moms" who had come before me, and I was convinced that they had managed this transition (or maybe transformation is a more suiting term) much better than I. Perhaps it was the sleep deprivation, but I really just didn't understand why there seemed to be no "pause button" so I could just catch up! Was I putting all this pressure on myself? I have a wonderful, task-accomplishing husband (who is self-employed, and in an effort to keep his business from suffering, took all of 3 days off when the baby was born). Unfortunately, even with his assistance there were many tasks that required my attention alone. I was left attempting to give 110% to breast-feeding, residency training, extracurricular activities, managing household duties, and really just trying to remain sane. I often wondered if I was being realistic with my expectations of myself?
One of the most stressful and anxiety filled components surrounding this new chapter of my life was breastfeeding, which is practically a full-time job in itself. Although breastfeeding is temporary, it is not meant to be a brief endeavor when you take into account those recommendations set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) (1). As I embraced my new job as a mother - on top of my already existing roles of wife and resident physician - I have to also try to juggle and accommodate the hours required for breastfeeding and pumping. I would also like to note here that I birthed only one child (not two, three, or more) and I was fortunate enough to have an uncomplicated birth, where everything went "according to plan".
I'm now back at work, lugging this ever so important sidekick (my breast pump) everywhere and treating every last drop of breast milk like it is pure liquid gold while hoping I just don't mess it all up and if I even have enough time to "get it right". Did I do my son justice by going back to work when I did? I knew having a baby during residency would be a challenge, but after completing undergraduate education, followed by four years of medical school (especially when you decide on medical school a little later on in life) residency is ultimately when many women are at their prime reproductive age (2).
Then there is the sense of guilt that I am not getting more out of my"time off". Because I utilized essentially all my days off for the year, I had some very idealistic goals of studying and being incredibly productive (e.g. completing research, reading, etc.) during this time away from work. However, then reality sets in and I realize that the only self-education I am actually doing is learning how to be a Mom, which really doesn't leave much time for anything else.
I know my story is not unique, and I am quite aware that many other women have faced situations even more challenging, which I think makes this topic ever present. Through all of this turmoil, trials and tribulations, I continue to wonder as members of the healthcare industry whom are supposed to be proponents of health and well-being, are we doing all we can to ensure that those female physicians, who also choose to become moms, feel supported and encouraged? Instead I wonder if there are other mom's who feel like we are being asked to compromise one dream in the pursuit of another? This is especially important during a period when nearly half of all medical students and residents are women (3). What better time to reflect and ask ourselves, "is this the best way"?

AAP Delegate to the ORR: A Recap of the 2016 AAMC Annual Meeting
By Venessa Lee, MD
The mission of the Organization of Resident Representatives (ORR) is to improve resident physician education and training for the purpose of improving the quality of health care. The ORR is a committee within the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The ORR provides a platform for residents to provide input into the development of Association's policy. It also provides leadership opportunities for residents interested in academic medicine and supports its members through professional development activities. Each eligible academic society appoints two residents for a two-year term, representing 46 residents from a large variety of geographical and medical backgrounds. The AAP resident delegates to the ORR this year are myself and Ryan Mattie.
Learn, Serve, Lead
All members of the ORR attended the 2016 AAMC Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, WA. The theme of this year's meeting was "Learn, Serve, Lead". I found the annual meeting to be a great networking experience and it brought together all the stakeholders who have significant influence and impact in academic medicine. There were insightful discussions about a myriad of complex issues that affect all aspects of academic medicine, with the dissemination of new concepts and tools for leading innovation and cultural change in academic medicine.
For ORR members, the week started with membership networking and Peer Module Presentations. Members of the committee prepared interactive learning sessions with topics including: residency and career transitions, unconscious bias and tips on how to be an effective facilitator. The opening plenary was an incredible presentation by presidential historian, Doris Kearns, on Leadership Lessons from the White House.
A major focus of the 2016 conference was exploring resilience, wellness, breaking cycles of negativity and preventing burnout. As has been discussed elsewhere, burnout continues to be a major health risk among trainees and practicing physicians.
In relation to burnout, the ORR reviewed and made official recommendations regarding the recent proposed changes to the ACGME Common Program Requirements Section VI. The focus of the discussion and recommendations from the ORR was on wellness for both residents and their families.
The proposed changes can be viewed on the ACGME website and are related to patient safety and supervision, professionalism, wellbeing, fatigue mitigation and clinical experience and education (Duty Hours). Members of the ORR felt that commitment to the well being of healthcare providers and their families will allow them to better care for their patients.
Other proposed changes included changing work hours for PGY-1 residents by eliminating the current 16-hour workday and replacing it with a 24-hour continuous clinical assignment limit, as is currently in place for upper level residents. The ORR voted to support this change with the addition of resources for resident wellness, and a focus on personal and family needs, as well as, provisions for improved maternity and paternity leave.
The next ORR event will be the Professional Development Conference, which occurs in Orlando, FL, from March 9-11 2017. It's a great privilege to represent the AAP at the ORR and I'm grateful for the leadership experience. The ORR has two PM&R residents serving on the committee, with each delegate serving a two-year appointment. The next call for applications will be in May 2017 so please stay tuned for more information and consider submitting an application to serve in these exciting leadership and academic roles.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Fellowship Spotlight: Pain Medicine
Pain Medicine is one of the sub-specialty areas in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) with fellowship training programs offered throughout the United States.
I connected with Dr. Herbie Yung, who is currently completing his Pain fellowship at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to discuss his experiences pursuing a fellowship and career as a PM&R pain physician.
Dr. Adam Susmarski (AS): What attracted you to pursue a Pain Medicine fellowship?
Dr. Herbie Yung (HY): I like the large amount of versatility in the field of Pain Medicine. I get a chance to work with a lot of different types of medical professionals and patients. Additionally, I enjoy working with all of the exciting technology out there, with not only fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided injections, but also neuromodulation, intrathecal pumps, radiofrequency ablation, and regenerative medicine, just to name a few.
AS: What are the aspects of fellowship that applicants should carefully consider when making their rank order list?
HY: I think it's really important to look at how you fit in a fellowship program, for example, is there good mentorship to help guide you for the rest of your career whether it's academic or private practice? Does the program offer the procedural training and exposure to the patient population (e.g. cancer pain, palliative care, pediatric pain, and/or pain rehabilitation) that you are interested in integrating into your future practice? Are there research requirements or an opportunity to teach medical students and residents? Is location a factor? Completing your fellowship in the region you want to end up long term can help with your job search.
AS: How did you choose which fellowship was the "best fit" for you?
HY: In addition to the above factors, I think it's important you find that you click with the attendings at the program. Even in that one short year, you will spend more one-on-one time with them than you did with your attendings during residency. If possible, talk to someone who completed that fellowship to get some insight into what that program offers you that no one else can.
AS: What has been your favorite experience as a fellow?
HY: The whole year is just a whirlwind of new information, terminology and procedural techniques to absorb. I think my favorite experience thus far is taking the next step in my medical career and starting to make the transition from resident to fellow to attending which means taking in further patient care responsibilities and autonomy.
AS: Now that you are approaching completion of fellowship what is some advice you have for residents applying for fellowship?
HY: Try not to stress and enjoy the journey! Go to as many interviews as you can afford (time and money wise) so you can really see what all the programs have to offer, and make the best decision you can. You'll meet many great people along way including other applicants like yourself. Pain medicine is a small field and you're guaranteed to run into everyone again, who knows, you may even one day apply for a faculty position at an institution where you interview.
Rehabilitation Research— My MSSCE Experience
By Shelly Guhar
PM&R. Truth be told, I did not understand the significance of these three letters until I stepped foot at Johns Hopkins Hospital for my two month Medical Student Summer Clinical Externship (MSSCE). I initially applied for the externship because my friend after finishing her first year of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency described PM&R as "the coolest field ever". She had piqued my curiosity with her enthusiasm for her profession and I was determined to experience PM&R for myself.
Each week during my externship I experienced something entirely new as I learned PM&R encompasses numerous subspecialty clinics including Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Pain, and Pediatrics just to name a few. I found out the hospital even had a clinic just for patients who were a fall risk! While during residency each resident physician spends a month or more on each unit, I unfortunately only had a week to experience as much as I could in each area of PM&R.
My first day during general outpatient clinic exposed me to the world of intrathecal Baclofen pumps and ultrasound guided injections for the treatment of spasticity. It was a short time later when unique medications common to the field such as Gabapentin became second nature to me. I also learned how to do a complete American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) exam while on the inpatient spinal cord injury unit. In the pediatric clinic, I saw how paraplegics used electrical stimulation, aquatic therapy, and/or a robotic exoskeleton to help them regain their mobility.
One of the most surprising facts I learned about this field was the use of a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care. A patient's care routinely includes the coordination of care between a physiatrist (PM&R physician), a physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, a prosthetist/orthotist and more! In a meeting, the entire team would discuss not only the patient and their current status but also their individual lifestyle and goals to come up with a unique rehabilitation plan that worked just for them. This is very unique to PM&R and something I really appreciated given that a common complaint from patients is the diminished time spent with medical providers in the current health care climate.
However, the most important lesson I learned came from using a wheelchair for an entire day. I found that although using my hands would ultimately leave them sore for days, there was a psychological impact that I could never forget. Almost immediately, I struggled with making turns and rolling backwards into an elevator. Some people would notice my struggles and jump to help, but others would avoid me or look down at me. It also didn't help that it was raining all day. How do you move the wheelchair and hold an umbrella? How do you go up a ramp when your wet wheels keep slipping as you desperately try to keep a hold on them? My experiences that day opened my eyes to the struggle that some people face everyday.
The rewarding benefits of targeted therapy and the more individualized doctor-patient relationships were immediate indicators that this is a field of medicine where I could best utilize my years of medical education and training to make a positive difference in the lives of my future patients for years to come.
Shelly Gulhar is a second year medical student at Howard University College of Medicine. She is active in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation interest group there and seeks to pursue her interest in spinal cord injuries in the future.
The Medical Student Summer Clinical Externship (MSSCE) program has been developed for medical students with a strong desire for clinical experience in the field of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) and who are eagerly seeking opportunities in the field. The program aims to provide a wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinical exposure and to allow students to explore the human side of patient care and the psychosocial environments their patients face. More details, including the application process, can be found at the AAP website.
An Introduction to "Ability Science" for Physiatry in Motion
By Jim Eubanks, DC, MS and Mike Farrell, DC
1. Who is behind Ability Science?
Jim Eubanks, DC, MS is a third year MD student and Clinical Research Scholar in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic (DC) and a Master of Science (MS) in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan University in St. Louis, MO in 2009.
Mike Farrell, DC is a fourth year MD student at Ross University School of Medicine and is completing his clinical clerkships at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, NY. He is entering the 2017 NRMP Match in hopes of obtaining a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic (DC) from D'Youville College in Buffalo, NY in 2010.
2. What is Ability Science?
MIKE: Ability Science is a social media platform. Our specific goals include raising awareness about the field of physiatry among students, healthcare professionals, and patients.
JIM: Additionally, we aim to increase understanding of physiatry and rehabilitation medicine as a whole. Most of medicine has focused on quantity of life, and done a remarkable job towards this end. Physiatry adds to the health system with a focus on quality of life and function.
3. What inspired you to start Ability Science?
JIM: From 2011 until his untimely passing in 2013, I studied under the direction of the late Craig Brigham MD at OrthoCarolina Spine in Charlotte, NC. Dr. Brigham was the spine chief for the Carolinas Medical Center's orthopedic residency and a founding partner of OrthoCarolina. He was a committed advocate for disciplined, sensible spine and musculoskeletal care, and focused on evidence-based practice. He would ask two key questions to every patient: 1) "When was the last time you felt your best?" and "What are YOUR goals with your care?" It was this spirit of evidence-based care coupled with a desire to empower patients that led him to envision a spine and musculoskeletal medicine educational organization that would address these goals with medical students and physicians. Mike and I exchanged ideas about this concept over the years, and it eventually led to the creation of Ability Science in 2015.
MIKE: There is a huge need to increase awareness about PM&R. Physiatry is a relatively new specialty within medicine and has really only been around since the 1940s, and got its start primarily for veterans returning from WWII. But it has had to evolve to meet the physical medicine needs of the public. An example of this is the Polio epidemic in the '50s. Today, it continues to evolve, and as medical therapies improve, people are living longer following a trauma or with historically lethal diseases such as cancer. There is a much needed focus today on maintaining function as these patients age.
4. How has your medical institution supported your interest in PM&R?
JIM: Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University is one of the 30% or so of US medical schools that have a PM&R clerkship, including early exposure in the curriculum to PM&R through lectures given by PM&R physicians on topics of spine anatomy and spine conditions, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and behavioral medicine topics on disability and rehabilitation. Currently, I am working with our PM&R department and Brody administrators to expand the amount of spine and musculoskeletal education offered in our core clerkships. While this is not yet the typical experience of medical students, it is a powerful model of what can be done.
MIKE: Mine is a more common experience; really I had no exposure to what a physiatrist's role is and what they do on a daily basis; no required rotations and I was forced to seek them out on my own. Jim and I both had a unique perspective entering medical school of wanting to do physiatry, and I recognized that most of the students around me had no idea what it was. When comparing our two experiences, we have realized that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in the future to increase awareness of the field.
5. Who is the prime target audience?
JIM: Our target audience is primarily medical students and physicians, and we have a general goal of educating all health professionals about the work that physiatrists do and the essential role they now play in the health system.
6. Your team has created a few vlogs to discuss things like clinical pearls and case diagnoses What exactly are vlogs and how does one start a vlog? What are some ways you envision that vlogs may help improve learning experience during medical training?
MIKE: For years, people have been publishing their thoughts on the internet with blogs. The word "blog" itself came from the term "web-log" and the w-e was eventually dropped. Video-Logs or VLOGs are just a more visually appealing incarnation of blogs. The format is appealing because there are tons of influential people on Youtube who have used the VLOGing format to captivate a younger generation. My inspiration was a YouTuber by the name of Casey Neistat who famously snow boarded through NYC during the blizzard last year. I feel that the upbeat music, interesting visuals, and fast paced tempo grabs attention much better than just printed words on a screen. As online learning sites such as Khan Academy and Osmosis become more popular students are relying to the internet for new ways to consume information. I think that our goal is to captivate our audience with the Vlogging format while dispensing some information at the same time so that the learning is subconscious and not forced. The good news is that anyone can start a vlog with a camera and free software like iMovie. I had no experience with shooting or editing videos before starting the VLOGs and have really enjoyed learning as I go.
7. PMR is said to be medicine's best kept secret. What excites you about the specialty as medical students and how can we get more trainees excited about the field?
JIM: For me, the expanding awareness within 21st century medicine of the importance quality of life plays jives with my own experience with chronic illness. My personal health journey informed me about the kinds of values patients have, and often chief among these is living well. Rehab medicine gets this, and is uniquely equipped to empower patients as they cope with changes in their lives and overcome challenging conditions. Mike and I know that getting this message out to medical students and other health professionals will illuminate the logic of rehab medicine and inspire a new level of interest as the field expands.
MIKE: When I think about my own state of health, what matters most is my ability to wake up each morning and live my life without limitations. If tomorrow I couldn't ride a bike, or drive a car, I would feel that impact more than my LDLs increasing or my HbA1c dropping. That interface where your state of health meets your ability to truly live life is what physiatry is all about to me. For patients to buy into their healthcare they need physicians who are passionate and I entered medical school passionate about the areas physiatry addresses. Trainees will get excited about the field by increasing awareness! It's an extremely rewarding area of medicine (with broad applicability across a range of fields) and as more students get exposure they will realize that.

Iran's security forces, however, were absent. In a nation with a frighteningly effective intelligence service, Supreme Leader Khamenei was entirely unaware of this protest because it took place in cyberspace. The protesters were concerned citizens from dozens of countries who logged into a (...)

It's all about my fu*king gymbag
Hello Friends!
Right now I'm watching American Horror Story, has had some catching up to do but now I'm just on the last episode released. Really damn good season Coven. Today, the day was really good, wrote a post about it this morning, but I happened to post it now .. smart girl.
At the gym I did shoulders and a little cardio, was a very good session with awesome music. After training I gained commanding to drive down and shop (which I did) then it was home to eat. May well point out that I have ate vegetarian chili con carne 3 days in a row now. Not that I'm complaining or so but the recipe was for 4 servings .. from weight watchers .. no wonder all that goes on weight watchers gets all the weight back. Pff.
So now I have eaten the last scons that was left and will soon go to bed. Tomorrow I have training in the morning, then doctor visits and after the work!
Hugs to you my little unicorns.

Let's just say things didn't exactly go as planned at Brand New's recent show in Albuquerque, NM.
After frontman Jesse Lacey got a few lines into their song "Millstone," he began to mumble and stepped away from the mic, forgetting the line, "I used to care I was being cared for." Instead of just playing it off, letting the crowd take over and jumping in later, he stopped the song completely and began asking around to find out which line came next. He even went as far as to ask a fan in the crowd, "Do you have the lyrics on your phone there, bro?"
You can watch a video of the slight mishap below, which the band rebounded from by absolutely slaying the rest of their set.
In case you've been living under a rock lately, well, you picked a pretty bad time to live under a rock. Catch up on all the recent Brand New-related activity in one convenient location.

Ask the Attorney: Is the IEP Team the Same as the 504 Team?
This question flows nicely from our last segment of Ask the Attorney. Let's first review a couple of things. To qualify for an Individualized Education Program (IEP), a student must meet the criteria for disability categories under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and state law. This is law that provides protections for students with disabilities and requires that each student receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).The IEP lists specific goals and specialized services the student will receive in school. Any student who receives an IEP automatically receives protection under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (commonly referred to as Section 504). Section 504 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. A 504 plan describes accommodations the student needs to better access all aspects of school. 504 plans typically address learning and social needs, but can also be used to outline other needs, such as allergies, that affect some part of the school day. The 504 plan does not describe specific academic services or supports; that only happens in the IEP.
The Team
Now that we have the bases covered, let's talk about the team. Keep in mind that the wording differs between districts and states, so don't be alarmed if your child's school has different titles for the individuals who carry out these roles.Under IDEA, the IEP team must consist of:
- A general education teacher who works with the student
- A special education teacher who works with the student
- The special education coordinator or another representative from the school district
- A parent (or guardian)
- The student with a disability whenever appropriate
- Often other specialists or anyone else who has helpful information about the student
The 504 team typically consists of:
- The 504 coordinator
- The principal or another representative from the school's administration
- The parent (or guardian)
- Sometimes a guidance counselor may also be part of the team
It is possible that the special education coordinator and the 504 coordinator are the same person, but there should be some different members of each team as well.Consult the school or district handbook for clarification on their process. Remember, it is always helpful to speak with other parents who have been through the meetings. They likely have some insight they are willing to share!

Department of Health celebrates Eye Care Awareness month by encouraging members of the public to go to an eye fixed care professionals to have thier eyes examined and checked for decreased imaginative and prescient; eye ache; drainage or redness of the eye; double vision. Laurel Baker, government director of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, minced no words Thursday about whether charities should continue to hold their events at Mar-a-Lago this season following President Donald Trump's statements concerning the recent violence in Charlottesville, Va. Since Monday greater than 300 sufferers have been transported the brief journey alongside North Terrace from the old RAH in a fleet of 16 ambulances and an ambulance bus, while the new 65-cubicle emergency division accepted its first patient — a stroll-in — simply after 7am yesterday.
When the Democratic Party had its probability to bend the curve, they chose to spend more upfront and hope that harassing docs and managing sufferers will bend the curve in mysterious methods. Republicans appear extra inclined to use brute power to push the curve down at its weakest point, while hoping that the same physician and patient harassment techniques will counteract the harm attributable to any shortages in well being care funding. Whereas Obamacare introduced us a flurry of improvements designed to move the system to value-based payments so we will save a few bucks, GOPcare shall be bringing us a flurry of equally impotent improvements designed to maneuver the system to worth-based care so we are able to squeeze extra quality from fewer bucks. In other words, the more issues change, the more they stay the same.
Howdy LRobbins, Soon you may find that eating meat appears like chewing cardboard and your taste buds and saliva glands will simply reject it. Whereas the first complaint early this year was about Trump's immigration policy, it's about well being care now. UCSD Medical Heart staff obtain a reduction off Memberships.

Daniel McDonnell: Will O'Neill give 'Tbilisi Two' another opportunity?
Meyler's suspension and McCarthy's woe could mean Copenhagen reunion for Arter and Whelan
It was the nadir of Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign.
The September struggle in Georgia which left Martin O'Neill's side facing an uphill battle to make it to Russia, a task that stiffened when eventual group winners Serbia triumphed in Dublin three days later.
Glenn Whelan and Harry Arter were dropped for that game, a statement which offered a clear window into the manager's thinking on what went wrong.
Arter admitted afterwards that his own performance was below-par and he discussed his difficulties with O'Neill, conceding that he deserved to be dropped for the Aviva Stadium encounter. Whelan tends to keep his thoughts to himself, publicly at least.
A month later in Cardiff, with David Meyler bumped up the queue to the extent that he wore the captain's armband, Arter was given another chance and played his part in a famous win.
Whelan was ushered off the bench to help see it out, yet he was not reunited with Arter - he came in for the final 13 minutes when the Bournemouth player ran out of steam.
But with Meyler banned for Saturday's play-off first leg in Copenhagen, James McCarthy's comeback aborted and question marks over Jeff Hendrick - who would be operating further forward in an ideal world - then it's possible that the 'Tbilisi Two' will be reunited from the outset.
It is a bit of a dilemma for O'Neill who hailed Meyler's energy and ability to close players down.
With Georgia keeping the ball well, Whelan struggled to get close while Arter seemed unsure of what was being asked of him.
O'Neill did stress that it would be wrong to simply apportion responsibility for a tough day in the office to the central midfield duo.
"I could have left a few out of the side (for Serbia)," he said. "But I think Harry and Glenn accepted the fact we hadn't played well in the game.
"Does that mean because I leave those two out that they take the brunt of the criticism? No... the criticism comes to me at the end of the day as it does with managers. We've been fighting the whole way through, I just think we didn't do well in the game.
"Of course, you do need your midfield players driving. In fairness, as a midfield player myself, I have a lot of sympathy for midfield players - particularly if they are trying to close a player down and we are not closing down as a unit and when you look behind the gap is massive.
"Then the opposition players are coming off the back four and dealing with the ball and you think, 'Should I be back there?' I have empathy and sympathy."
This is a particularly important point in the context of Denmark's star man, Christian Eriksen, who has the ability to drop into that pocket and pose problems.
Ireland's effectiveness in shackling the Spurs star could well be the difference between winning and losing. Under O'Neill, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gareth Bale were successfully subdued in big matches, albeit while operating as strikers for their respective teams.
They did roam and that made the defensive midfielders particularly important but in the case of Eriksen, the threat could start from deeper.
At his squad announcement, O'Neill perhaps offered a small window into any game-plan by asserting that the priority has to be ensuring that Eriksen can only get on the ball some distance from goal.
That would suggest a high-tempo approach to closing down the 25-year-old will be necessary.
In Cardiff, Robbie Brady was positioned slightly ahead of Meyler and Arter with Hendrick on the right and James McClean on the left. The result was good, even if the midfield display was hardly vintage.
On the safe assumption that O'Neill would be loathe to throw Conor Hourihane or Eunan O'Kane in for the biggest games of their international careers, then the only alternative to the Arter and Whelan combination would be to drop Brady or Hendrick back to a deeper role - presuming the latter overcomes a glute problem.
That scenario would then leave room for the inclusion of Wes Hoolahan, Callum O'Dowda or Aiden McGeady, depending on how the manager shuffled the pack.
It would be a surprise considering the manager's priority is effectively to stay in the game and bring the tie back to an epic night in Dublin seven days from now.
In reality the question mark hangs over Whelan as Arter should be a certainty to start, much as he's endured a frustrating month at Bournemouth since the last international window.
He was recalled for the weekend win at Newcastle, but O'Neill noted a spell on the sidelines would be a shock to the system for the player considering he is used to being a main player for his employers - the Derryman extended that point to offering a take on why the 27-year-old has been a slow starter on Irish duty.
"I think Harry is finding his feet with us," he said.
"At Bournemouth, particularly in their promotion year and the first year in the Premier League, Harry was a dominant figure around the football club.
"That wasn't just on the field but around the club and Harry has still to feel that with us.
"He's a wee bit quiet here whereas he's more boisterous at Bournemouth. But he's definitely finding his way.
"I put him into a big match like that against Wales which might tell you something - I put him in a match of that standing when he hadn't played on the Friday night against Moldova.
"But that's fine. I think he was honest when he said he didn't play well against Georgia and he didn't deserve to play the next game and he was pretty honest with his assessment.
"Now he's had to cope with not playing for Bournemouth.
"All of these things are coming as a test for him and if he can come through it then he will be a better player."
O'Neill did respect the player's introspective look at his disappointing Georgian endeavours. He used it as an example of the maturity of his group.
But in identifying the contrast between the club sphere and the international arena, he highlighted the importance of getting things right in his own mind.
"This isn't a club where you're getting a second chance in seven days' time again,"O'Neill said. "We play twice in three days and it's down to those matches."
The 65-year-old must decide if he can give a proper second chance to the partnership that has laboured on the road before. It's a big call.

Many people believe that if they are cautious and obey the traffic laws and signs, then they will not be involved in auto accidents. While using care when operating a motor vehicle can reduce some of the risk of getting into a collision, it does not completely remove the hazard. The actions of other drivers, including driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding, commonly result in motor vehicle accidents that involve other, innocent motorists. Considering that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that there were more than 2.5 million people treated in emergency medical departments throughout the country for injuries resulting from car accidents in 2012 alone, it behooves drivers to understand what steps they should take after a collision to protect themselves and their passengers.
As most people are aware, drivers are generally required to stop and remain at the scene of the accident until they have provided their name, address and any other necessary information to law enforcement, or to the other driver if authorities indicate they will not be coming to the scene. Leaving before this can result in motorists facing criminal charges. After stopping, it is generally advised that drivers assess themselves, as well as any passengers that may have been travelling with them, for injury. If anyone has been injured, someone should call 911 for help. Authorities will typically file accident reports, which can be useful in proving fault if injured victims choose to take legal action later.
In some situations, adrenaline and the shock of the accident itself could mask certain types of injuries immediately following a collision. For this reason, it can be helpful for people to not only exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver, but also to get the contact information for any passengers or other witnesses to the accident. Additionally, it can be useful to have pictures of the scene, the damage and any visible injuries in case of litigation.
Motor vehicle accidents can result in medical expenses and other undue costs, in addition to lost income, for injury victims. While the first steps of notifying law enforcement, seeking medical assistance and calling their insurance company are always important, it can also be useful for people who have experienced situations such as this to consult with an attorney to understand their options and how to receive the help they need.
