Other Sources of Medical Assistant Scholarships
The preceding list only scratches the surface of the many scholarships available to motivated students. Don't stop now. Continue the hunt for financial assistance with this step-by-step approach to sourcing funds for your education:
1. College or Career School
You're most likely to find medical assisting scholarships close to home. Start by asking at the college or career school in which you enroll. For instance, Lake Washington Technical College in Seattle offers a range of competitive scholarships to its students in the spring and fall of each year. In Houston, students attending the city's community colleges are eligible for dozens of scholarships, from the Arab American Educational Foundation Opportunity Scholarship to the Women's Business Support Network.
2. Hospitals & Community Health Centers
The healthcare system needs skilled, caring medical assistants—and nowhere more so than in under-served areas. Check with your local hospital or clinic system to see if they offer scholarships. Many awards are tied to post-graduation service commitments.
3. State Education Agencies
Each of the 50 states has a department of education and/or a higher education agency. The availability of scholarship funds varies wildly depending on your location. Start your search with this helpful tool from the U.S. Department of Education.
4. Private Organizations & Nonprofits
Thousands of businesses, credit unions and nonprofit organizations offer scholarships to students based on a variety of criteria—from income to academics to ethnicity and beyond. Be sure to investigate local civic organizations such as the Elks, Rotary International, the Kiwanis and the Junior Chamber International. Each of these has a long history of awarding educational scholarships to deserving students.
Scholarship Deadlines
Because every scholarship is provided by a different organization, each one has a different deadline. As you do your research, take note of the timelines and plan your applications well in advance. Even if you've missed some scholarships deadlines, keep looking. There are bound to be others with still-reachable deadlines.
Applying for Scholarships
Each scholarship has a unique set of requirements. To compete for one, you might need to write an essay. Another might ask for a short video, while still another simply requires that you fill out a form.
Bottom line? Read the entire application, fill out every question and request for information, and submit it by the deadline.
Take the Next Step
Now that you have a handle on some fresh funding sources for medical assistant training, the course is clear. Find the program that's right for you.

ADJ's HEX Series of LED pars equipped with 6-in-1 HEX LEDs have proven extremely popular for a wide variety of applications from up-lighting to truss-warming, stage washing to dancefloor illumination. However, here at ADJ, we're committed to constantly developing our product range to meet the needs of our customers. Therefore, following suggestions from existing users, we're pleased to be able to introduce the new and improved PX HEX Series of LED pars.
The new "PX HEX" Series units feature professional-caliber powerCON input and output connections in place of the IEC sockets found on the original HEX Series models. This allows for a reliable power connection that locks securely into place and won't pull out accidentally. It also allows for easy integration into professional stage rigs that are setup with powerCON power distribution.
In addition, all of the "PX HEX" Series fixtures are fitted with both 3-pin AND 5-pin XLR input and output sockets for DMX control and master/slave operation. This adds to the units' flexibility, meaning that they can be easily integrated into either a 3-pin or 5-pin DMX setup and are therefore ideal for use by production and rental companies.
Comprised of four different models, the "PX HEX" Series offers fixtures suited to a range of different uses, all equipped with versatile HEX LEDs. Combining red, green, blue, amber, white and UV elements, they allow for a vast palette of mixed colors to be generated. These include both cool and warm white, as well as UV-infused colors such as hot pink, lime green and electric blue. The inclusion of the UV element also means that the fixture can create the classic 'black light' effect that causes white and neon-colored surfaces to glow brightly.
The 5PX HEX features five 12W HEX LEDs housed in a compact unit that is ideal for truss warming, up-lighting and stage washing. Despite its small dimensions of 4.5" x 8.25" x 8.75"/ 114 x 208 x 222mm (LxWxH) and low weight of 5.8 lbs. / 2.6 kgs., it has a robust metal construction making it ideal for temporary event production as well as fixed installation. The 5PX HEX PEARL model, meanwhile, offers the same LED power and casing design but with a striking all-white exterior.
For applications where increased lighting output is required, the 12PX HEX features a total of twelve 12W HEX LEDs. It generates a powerful beam of colored light that is ideal for washing stages and dancefloors as well as up-lighting large venues. Measuring 5.34" x 9.8" x 11.7" / 136 x 249 x 297.5mm (LxWxH) it is still relatively compact and with a weight 8.7 lbs. / 4 kgs it is easy to lift and carry. As with the smaller model, an all-white version is also available – the 12PX HEX PEARL – which is ideal for white-themed venue installations as well as for temporary use at events such as weddings.
With all of the benefits that LED-powered fixtures offer over conventional pars, the "PX HEX" units are ideal for a wide variety of uses. Their LEDs have an operational life of approximately 50,000 hours, meaning that lamp replacement is a thing of the past and they are therefore perfectly suited for installation in hard to reach locations. Despite their powerful light output, the units also generate very little excess heat. This means they are ideal for illuminating stages while keeping the temperature comfortable for performers.
All four of the models are supplied with flexible scissor yokes, which can be used either as variable-angle floor stands or hanging brackets, as required. The units also benefit from ADJ's intelligently-designed and patent-pending 'sit-flat' design, which means that they can be placed directly on the floor for up-lighting duties, with power and data connections located conveniently on the side of the casing.
With a 30-degree beam angle, all of the PX HEX pars are ideally suited for both up-lighting and stage illumination, generating a soft-edged pool of light. Adding further flexibility, the 12PX HEX and 12PX HEX PEARL are both supplied with a removable gel frame that can be used to hold diffusion filters (sold separately) if a wider beam angle is required.
Each of the four models is fitted with a 4-segment LED menu display and four corresponding push buttons, which allow easy access to five different operating modes: Static Color (63 built-in color macros), RGBAW+UV Dimmer, Program (7 built-in programs), Sound Active and DMX-controlled (6, 7, 8 or 12 channel). The fixtures can also be controlled remotely using ADJ's DOTZ PAR RF wireless control (sold separately).
Offering the incredible color mixing potential of HEX LEDs combined with a wide variety of useful features and robust, intelligently-designed cases, the PX HEX Series pars are ideal for any situation where powerful washes of color are required. Offering professional features, including powerCON and 3-pin & 5-pin XLR sockets, these new and improved models are sure to prove even more popular than the original P HEX Series.
All models are available now from ADJ USA.

I watched a documentary on Flat Earth last night. Throughout the documentary, the thing that struck me the most was their willingness to take to the streets, the airwaves, and to make videos to promote their beliefs and share with any and all who would listen.
The central figure in the documentary began making videos on Flat Earth and within two years of his conversion and video making, had more than one million hits on YouTube. Not only that, he launched others into the Flat Earth blog and video spheres where they took the same message and delivered it to their own audiences. He might as well be called a flat earth apostle.
I sat on the floor in front of our television stunned. This is what Christians are supposed to be doing for Jesus, but we largely are absent, while the Flat Earth Society and other Flat Earth proponents are walking the streets, handing out literature, and wearing shirts and clothes promoting their view and it is growing quickly.
We know we have the truth and people without it are doomed. What we know, people need, and we lack the intensity and chutzpah to put ourselves on the line for this truth and people are dying. I was stunned at how open and freely the Flat Earth folks shared their information. They love it and it shows.
If we, as Christians, were as willing to share as the Flat Earth folks. If we were willing to wear t-shirts and key chains, and hats that promoted Jesus everywhere we went. If we put Jesus first in all things and woke up thinking about Jesus and went to bed wishing we had a few more hours to talk about Jesus and make videos and share the Good News, the world would take notice.
Humans promoting climate change, AOC, universal health care, Flat Earth, and saving the baby seals and a million other projects wear their passion on their sleeve and on their automobile bumper. What about Christians though? Do we have the same passion for Jesus? I don't think we do. I think we have an ivory tower view of the Gospel.
We know we have good info, but it is too good for regular folk. We cannot dirty our halls by sharing with all. We cannot just speak to someone on the sidewalk or at the store about Jesus, because what if they listened? Then we would have to take it a step further and get involved. We might have to spend some time with them and disciple them. We might have to expand our churches or sit somewhere else or park further away…
I sat stunned watching the Flat Earth folk share their beliefs. We can be just a passionate and we actually are called and expected to and we are burying our heads in the sand, pretending it will get done by someone, just not you or me.

Walter Bartoli and his wife Ida started to produce the first
bile acids in a basic laboratory and in 1949 they founded
Industria Chimica Emiliana (ICE).
From the production of Cholic acid they developed through
modern technology, bovine bile derivatives becoming
one of the most important world producers. The primary raw
material consists of ox-bile. The company has established
a worldwide network, which controls the collection of ox-bile
from the main producing countries. In 1996 the company B.B.A.
was established in Brazil with its primary function being
the collection of bile from the main Brazilian slaughterhouses.
The Brazilian plant produces raw Cholic acid, which is totally
exported to Italy for its necessary purification. Cholic acid
is the starting material for all other pharmaceutical derivatives.
At the end of 1999 I C E acquired Roth Products of Texas (R.P.T.)
a major company with 50 years experience in this field. R.P.T.
collects 50% of the available ox-bile in the U.S., which is
sent to Brazil for its processing. An increase in demand of
bile has induced I C E to expand its collection thus creating
a worldwide supply network. Currently, the main bile-supplying
Countries include Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Costa Rica,
India, Paraguay, Uruguay, U.S.A. and Venezuela. The suppliers
are both slaughterhouses and
of ox-bile. In Argentina, Columbia, Paraguay and Uruguay exclusive
concentrators work only for ICE. The quality of the product
is ensured via an initial selection of the raw material. All
ICEs suppliers are subjected to an auditing system that monitors
and maintains the high quality that is demanded for its product.
ICE's efficient organisation has established a traceability
system which enables the product to be traced at all stages
of its processing, from the final product to the slaughterhouse.
At the end of 2000, given the increasing concerns regarding
the B.S.E. crisis, ICE has requested E.D.Q.M. the Certificate
of Suitability to European Pharmacopoeia (CPMP/BWP/1230/98
rev.01, Note for Guidance on minimizing the risk of Transmitting
animal Spongiform Encephalopathy agents via medicinal products)
for its key-products i.e. Cholic acid, and Deoxycholic acid.
The issued Certificates (R0-CEP 2000-334 Rev 00 and R0-CEP
2000-335 Rev 00) cover all the products derived from Cholic
and Deoxycholic acid and guarantee the end-user the necessary
health and safety standard of the starting material.

Polarcus breaking seismic records in Myanmar
Marine seismic survey company Polarcus has shared some positive news in an otherwise depressing seismic acquisition market, pressured by low oil prices.
The UAE-based, Oslo-listed, company which is currently acquiring an ultra-wide 3D marine seismic project offshore Myanmar, has described the project as a record breaking one.
According to a statement by Polarcus on Thursday, its Polarcus Amani vessel is towing an in-sea configuration that measures 1.8km wide across the front ends.
With each of the ten streamers separated by 200m, the total area covered by the spread is 17.6 square kilometers.
This is the largest in-sea configuration ever towed by a single seismic vessel as well as the largest man-made moving object on earth, Polarcus said.
Polarcus COO, Duncan Eley said: "Such industry leading operational efficiency in Myanmar by one of our right-sized 3D seismic vessels exemplifies Polarcus' strategy to deliver fit-for-purpose geophysical solutions to our clients. We work closely with all clients to ensure both their efficiency and data quality objectives are met and exceeded."
Worth noting, a little more than a month ago, another Oslo-listed firm, PGS said it broke the spread record with the Ramform Titan vessel, also in Myanmar. At the time, the seismic spread was 18 streamers, each 7.05 kilometers long, with 100 meter separation between the streamers.
A total spread width was 1.7 kilometers and represents close to 127 kilometers of streamers. The total surface area of the streamer spread is 15.6 square kilometers, said PGS in December.

|Travel Security Advice for Fiji
Fiji is a South Pacific island nation consisting of over 350 islands and islets, of which approximately 100 are inhabited. The capital is Suva. On December 5, 2006, in the fourth coup since 1987, the Commander of Fiji's military force deposed the lawfully elected government of Fiji. There is currently an unelected interim government in place established by the military. The interim government abrogated the constitution and enacted Public Emergency Regulations on April 10, 2009, after the Court of Appeal declared the interim government illegal. The interim government also devalued the currency by 20% on April 15, 2009. Tourist facilities are available. The Fiji Visitors Bureau, which has a wide range of information of interest to travelers, can be contacted via the Fiji Visitors Bureau's web site. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Fiji for additional information.
A passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended date of departure from Fiji, proof of sufficient funds and an onward/return ticket are required for entry to Fiji. A visa is not required for tourist stays up to four months. Yachts wishing to call at the Lau group of islands need special permission granted at the first port of entry into Fiji. For further information on entry/exit requirements, travelers may contact the Embassy of the Republic of Fiji, 2233 Wisconsin Avenue NW, No. 240, Washington, DC 20007; telephone (202) 337-8320, or the Fiji Mission to the United Nations in New York. This is particularly important for travelers planning to enter Fiji by sailing vessel.

Under Public Emergency Regulations currently in place, some basic rights have been limited, including freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. The independence of Fiji's law enforcement and judicial systems is compromised, putting into question protections ordinarily afforded by the rule of law. The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens to carefully consider the risks of travel to the Republic of Fiji at this time. While Fiji's country situation appears calm on the surface, political, economic, and security uncertainties continue. It is possible that the security situation, especially in Suva, could deteriorate rapidly. American citizens in Fiji should remain vigilant, particularly in public places and near military activities in the greater Suva area, and should avoid demonstrations and large crowds. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful could turn confrontational and escalate into violence unexpectedly.
Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada or, for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
The Department of State urges American citizens to take responsibility for their own personal security while traveling overseas. For general information about appropriate measures travelers can take to protect themselves in an overseas environment, see the Department of State's pamphlet A Safe Trip Abroad.
Urban areas experience a higher incidence of crime than do other areas. Travelers should protect their valuables and be aware that theft from hotel rooms and purse snatching or pick-pocketing are the most common crimes against tourists. Offenses against persons do occur, and visitors should remain attentive to their personal safety. Tourists should be cautious about sharing too much personal information about their country of origin or lodging. Americans not familiar with their environs should ask hotel staff about areas to avoid at night. Visitors are advised not to walk alone after dark and not to walk alone in isolated areas at any time. Due to crime directed against taxi drivers, travelers should not allow taxis to pick up other passengers while en route and should not enter a taxi that already carries other passengers.
The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the local police and the U.S. Embassy in Suva, Fiji at (679) 331-4466 (ask for American Citizen Services). If you are the victim of a crime while overseas, in addition to reporting to local police, please contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for assistance. The embassy/consulate staff can, for example, assist you to find appropriate medical care, contact family members or friends and explain how funds could be transferred. Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime is solely the responsibility of local authorities, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney, if needed.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Fiji is 911.
See our information on Victims of Crime.
While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than those in the United States for similar offenses. Persons violating Fijian laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Penalties for possession of, use of, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Fiji are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines. Please see our information on Criminal Penalties.
Trekking: Terrain in the Fiji islands can be hazardous. Please consult with local guides and/or your place of lodging before undertaking a trek. Americans are also advised to hike with a companion and not to stray from marked or well-worn paths.
Customs: Fiji's customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning temporary importation into, or export from, Fiji of items such as alcohol or tobacco products. It is advisable to contact the Embassy of Fiji in Washington, DC at (202) 337-8320 for specific information regarding customs requirements. Importation of animals is strictly controlled. Pets may be imported only from designated, rabies-free locales. Those wishing to bring pets to Fiji should contact the Ministry of Agriculture in Suva as much as six months in advance for particulars. Please see our Customs Information sheet.
Purchase of Real Estate: U.S. citizens should be aware of the risks inherent in purchasing real estate in Fiji, and should exercise caution before entering into any form of commitment to invest in property there. Investors must recognize the need to obtain authoritative information and to hire competent Fijian legal counsel when contemplating any real estate investment. Fijian law and practices regarding real estate differ substantially from those in the United States.
Notification of Arrest: U.S. citizens are encouraged to carry a copy of their U.S. passports with them at all times so, that if questioned by local officials, proof of identity and U.S. citizenship are readily available. According to Fijian law, a criminal detainee may be held for a maximum of 48 hours before being charged. Police authorities normally advise the U.S. Embassy of the detention or arrest of a U.S. citizen within 24 hours of the incident. Nevertheless, U.S. citizens who are detained are encouraged to request that a consular officer at the U.S. Embassy in Suva be notified.
Natural Disasters: Fiji is located in an area of high seismic activity. Although the probability of a major earthquake occurring during a particular trip is remote, earthquakes can and do occur. The cyclone season is November through April. The Fiji Meteorological Service maintains a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) in Nadi serving the Southwest Pacific Region. General information regarding disaster preparedness is available via the Bureau of Consular Affairs' web site, and from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) home page.
Health-care facilities in Fiji are adequate for routine medical problems. Emergency response is extremely limited, and the few ambulances available are poorly equipped and staffed. Two major hospitals, the Lautoka Hospital in the western city of Lautoka, and the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva, provide limited emergency and outpatient services. A private hospital in Suva provides Western-style medical care, and maintains the Fiji Recompression Chamber for the benefit of scuba divers. Other hospitals and clinics provide only a limited range of health services. Medical emergencies may be referred to Australia, New Zealand, or the United States. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States or elsewhere can cost thousands of dollars. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment for health services.
Fiji may impose HIV/AIDS travel restrictions on some visa applicants for work permits. Applicants must obtain a medical clearance, and the work permit committee will make the decision to grant the permit on a case-by-case basis. Before traveling, please inquire directly with the Embassy of the Republic of Fiji, 2233 Wisconsin Avenue NW, No. 240, Washington, DC 20007; telephone (202) 337-8320, or the Fiji Mission to the United Nations in New York.
Fiji is currently experiencing an increased number of Dengue fever cases, with almost 1,000 cases confirmed (but no deaths) since September 1, 2008. Dengue fever is a common disease caused by a virus that humans get by being bitten by infected mosquitoes (usually Aedes aegypti). For more information about Dengue fever, see the CDC website below.
For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization's (WHO) web site. Further health information for travelers is available from the WHO.
The Department of State strongly urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and if it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation. Please see our information on medical insurance overseas.
While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Fiji is provided for general reference only, and it may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Traffic moves on the left in Fiji. While most roads in urban areas are paved, they are poorly maintained. Roads outside the city are usually not paved. In the city, driving after dark requires heightened attentiveness; outside the city, it is discouraged, except in emergency or exceptional circumstances. Stray animals, unwary pedestrians, and potholes make driving dangerous and particularly hazardous at night.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Visit the web site of Fiji's national tourist office and national authority responsible for road safety.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Fiji's Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Fiji's air carrier operations. For further information may be found on FAA's web site.
For information see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on international adoption and international parental child abduction.
Americans living or traveling in Fiji are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy in Suva through the State Department's travel registration web site, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Fiji. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the U.S. embassy or consulate to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at 31 Loftus Street in Fiji's capital city of Suva. The telephone number is (679) 331-4466; the fax number is (679) 330-2267. Information may also be obtained by visiting the U.S. Embassy's home page.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new interim guidance on preventing the sexual transmission of Zika virus after confirming through laboratory testing, in collaboration with Dallas County Health and Human Services in Texas, the first case of Zika virus infection in a nontraveler in the continental U.S. during the current outbreak.
Although sexual transmission of Zika virus infection is possible, mosquito bites remain the primary way that Zika virus is transmitted, according to the CDC. Because no vaccine or treatment for Zika virus infections is available, the best way to avoid these infections is to prevent mosquito bites, the agency says.
To date, there have been no reports of sexual transmission of the Zika virus from infected women to their sex partners.
The CDC has issued the following updated recommendations for pregnant women, and for men with pregnant sex partners, who live in or have traveled to Zika-affected areas:
The CDC has also issued new recommendations for nonpregnant women, and men with nonpregnant sexual partners, who live in or have traveled to Zika-affected areas:
New CDC recommendations for women who reside in areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission, both pregnant women and women of reproductive age, include the following:

After the high-altitude smash of last year's Troilus and Cressida, co-produced with New York's Wooster Group, you could be forgiven for approaching the Royal Shakespeare Company's new transatlantic project with trepidation. In truth, it's very different: the playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, best known for swaggering reworkings of southern African-American culture, has been embedded in Stratford-upon-Avon on and off since 2008, and brings together two US theatres – the Public in New York and GableStage from his hometown of Miami – along with actors from all three places, in an attempt to find common Shakespearean ground.
McCraney, who also directs, has created a "new" version of this shaggy and challenging late tragedy. The play has undergone a fairly thorough edit, including some cut-and-paste work on several scenes and speeches. In addition, he has transplanted the action to Saint-Domingue – as it was then known – in the late 18th century on the eve of the uprising against the French. It's a setting that astutely recasts Cleopatra's Egyptians as Haitians straining against the domination of wig- and frock coat-wearing martinets from Paris, and draws out the racial tensions that underlie the play.
All this is decently done, and it's good to see the RSC treating the holy texts of its resident saint with a little less awe. But the idea vastly overpromises, and what it delivers – apart from, perhaps, that text and a scattering of American accents – could have appeared on almost any British stage any time in the past decade. Jonathan Cake's salty Antony, all rolling gait and cock-eyed winks at the ladies, could have stepped out of a Patrick O'Brian novel, and Samuel Collings's nostril-flaring Octavius, with his magnificent Napoleonic epaulettes, needs only the acquisition of a horse to go the full Caligula. More unexpected, and interesting, is Joaquina Kalukango's heartfelt and youthful Cleopatra: if you can't quite believe she's a seasoned political operator, you do sense someone using sexuality to impose herself on circumstances forever spinning out of control.
McCraney's broader point feels more rickety. His Haitian-Egyptians, drenched in the syrupy golden light that has apparently become Equity minimum for depictions of the exotic, don't especially resemble an emerging nation fighting its way to independence. They spend much time frolicking in the upstage pool or wiggling their hips to sinuous music, and the transmuting of Antony's companion Enobarbus (the otherwise nicely poised Chukwudi Iwuji) to a voodoo-style spirit of the dead is overkill at its most literal. It's certainly exciting to see the RSC opening its doors, and to watch McCraney tussling with the junk orientalism that often infects productions of the play, but you wish they hadn't simply swapped one set of cliches for another.

Resident Research Policy
MUSC Department of Surgery strives to train not only excellent physician surgeons, but also leaders in their field. This requires a solid understanding of scientific principles and an appreciation for the research process. This can be facilitated through directed research mentorship replete with curriculum, milestones, and recognition of effort. This is underscored by the ACGME RRC for Surgery designation of resident participation in scholarly activity as a core residency program requirement. The Residency Research Program Requirements have been developed, reviewed, and approved by the MUSC Department of Surgery Research Council, the MUSC Department of Surgery Graduate Medical Education Committee, the Program Director, and the Chairman of Surgery.
All incoming categorical residents and current categorical general surgery residents are required to have:
CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) certification by January 15 of PGY1 or before starting a research project. This certificate can be obtained by completing the course at www.citiprogram.org. Certificates should be sent to Sue Wetherholt by January 15th and should be renewed every 4 years.
1. All PGY1 residents must write a research proposal by the conclusion of the first academic year. This proposal will be submitted to the Research Council and scored to select those who will go into dedicated research time. Even those not interested in dedicated research time must work with a mentor and write this proposal.
a. A mandatory session will be held for basic science investigators to present their research initiatives to the PGY1 residents and explain investigative opportunities.
b. A research mentor (basic science or clinical) will be selected and submitted to the Research Council by May 15.
c. The completed research proposal can focus on basic science or clinical research, will be constructed on the provided template, and will be submitted to Research Council by June 15.
2. Completion of three research projects resulting in a publishable manuscript by their fourth year of residency (beginning with the class of 2019). The resident must be the first author of the publication and each resident should have their own study. Only one resident may take credit for a manuscript. Out of the three manuscripts, only one can be a case-report.
3. The first project should be finished, signed by the mentor, and turned in to Sue Wetherholt by the end of PGY 2 year (June 30th) to facilitate review by Dr. Ruddy. If it is not finished, a completion date must be approved by the research mentor and Dr. Ruddy. The second manuscript must be completed, signed by the mentor, and turned into Sue Wetherholt by the end of the PGY3 (June 30th) year for review by Drs. Privette and Ruddy. This project should focus on Quality Improvement. The third project should be finished at the end of the PGY4 year (June 30th) also signed off by the mentor and turned into Sue Wetherholt to be reviewed by Dr. Ruddy.
4. Reimbursement of expenses for oral or poster (PGY1 or PGY2 only) presentation of these projects will only occur after the manuscript is signed off by the mentor and turned into Dr. Ruddy. She will then authorize reimbursement of meeting's expenses. After the 3 manuscript requirement is completed, the Department of Surgery will reimburse residents' expenses without prior completion of a manuscript, although this is strongly encouraged. Video sessions will be reimbursed without manuscript submission. (Policy effective January 1, 2013)
5. Compliance with these requirements will be evaluated at your semiannual review with the Research Competency Committee and included in your Program Director Reviews as part of your matriculation through the residency. Noncompliance can be considered grounds for remediation and you will not advance to the next level.
6. Each year you will be required to submit any new abstracts for consideration for Surgery Research Day. Given the RRC core program requirement that residents participate in scholarly activity, this process will ensure that we best document our compliance and your hard work. If you have not completed an abstract that year, you are still asked to submit notification of such. Ten papers will then be selected by the Research Council for presentation in the Fall.
Important Deadlines:
January 15: Citi Course certificate submission for PGY1
May 15 PGY1: Select research mentor
June 15 PGY1: Submit research proposal
June 30: Deadline for first project for PGY2
June 30: Deadline for (second) Quality project for PGY3
June 30: Deadline for second and third project for PGY4
All submissions should be turned into Sue Wetherholt's office, 416 CSB, or emailed to Dr. Ruddy before or by the proscribed deadline.

Stone Cali-Belgique India Pale is 6.9%ABV Belgian India Pale Ale.
The name "Stone Cali-Belgique IPA" both begs a question, and answers it at the same time. It begs the "what exactly is that?" question, and then answers it: "Stone" designates this ale as one brewed by the Stone Brewing Co., "Cali" hints that it is a California-style IPA (which all of our IPAs are, as Stone is certainly one of the best known progenitors of the West Coast IPA style), and finally, it has an undeniable Belgian influence, indicated by the word "Belgique" (which is how Belgium's French-speaking population say the word "Belgian"…the Dutch-speaking Belgians say "België"*). "IPA" of course stands for "India Pale Ale"—but this label is not the time nor place to delve into that storied history. Of course, there is the implicitly posed and as yet unanswered question of what exactly the Belgian/Belgique/België influence is. And "yeast" is the answer. We carefully selected a Belgian yeast strain that illuminates a fascinating new aspect of the ale that is otherwise ostensibly and simply Stone IPA. This is a yeast that showcases Stone IPA from a completely different angle. The result is both completely new and different, while still being altogether recognizable as a Stone brew, an IPA, and Stone IPA in particular. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgian culture. Literally.
Now, all grown up and standing next to each other, they look the same…yet different. We'd say the Belgian one sounds a bit funny when it talks, but yeast and ale being decidedly non-verbal (except through you), that's not literally the case. Their aromas have some similarities, but the Stone Cali-Belgique IPA is decidedly a bit more, shall we say, aromatically funky. (No, we are not saying that Belgians smell funny…we didn't say or imply that at all in any way…no angry cards or letters please…really, some of you people simply have too much time on your hands!) All in all, we find it all quite fascinating. But we're brewers, and that's the way we think. You might find it merely delicious. We, as brewers, most certainly do too, actually. And so…C'est avec le grand plaisir que nous le présentons vous! / Het is met geweldig genoegen dat wij het naar u voorstellen!
* Even though yeast cells are non-verbal, and arguably have no firm affiliation that shows preference for either the Flemish or the Walloons, we don't want to accidentally misrepresent the little buggers. As such, approximately 50% of the Stone Cali-Belgian IPA bottles are labeled "Cali-Belgique" and the other half "Cali-België." We at the Stone Brewing Co. respect both cultures highly and equally.
The last time I tried this beer was at a Bev and more tasting special in 2011. I thought it was awesome but I really haven't had a chance to grab it and sit down with it. When I went to the Stone Company Store in Pasadena California I decided to grab a glass. I was very surprised because this reminded me so much of the As Follows Eschatological Ale by Stillwater Artisanal. The aromas of this beer are simple amazing. Strong Belgian sweet and honey bread fragrance with a lot of herbs, spices, peppercorns, minor grassy, piney and grapefruit hops some tropical fruit like pineapple and mango as well as oranges, cloves, and lemon. The flavors are of nice herbs, honey, pepercorns, cloves, coriander, Italian basil spice, bubblegum, orange, lemon, mango, pineapple, apricots, honey, french bread, some slight grape sourness, grapefruit, slight grassy and piney hops but mainly herbal and floral notes.This one is almost like the Saison du Buff too. The flavors are better on tap. Hence the reason I got a growler of this to go. Better as fresh as possible, but even if not, the Belgian side takes over to address even more complexity. So choose wisely 😛


text: Jack Hirt - November 03, 2010 Huntin' The High Ground A Kentucky hunting club goes above and beyond. By Jack Hirt High Ground greencaps.With the stars fast-fading in the clear night sky, I followed big Rick Krohn through a maze of Bigfoot Canada decoys toward Tug's pit, a massive, bi-level, underground affair of heavy-duty steel construction that comfortably shoots up to seven hunters, and which is named after Rick's oft-decorated, but retired champion retriever. On our heels were Jack Strassweg with his athletic, young black Lab, Gus, and Clifford Romain, with Rick's current black dog, another top-level hunt-tester named Cody.As we approached the hole, being kept ice free by a series of electric-powered agitators, ducks began to boil off the water. It was something we expected after having watched several hundred mallards, along with a sprinkling of blacks, gadwall, and wigeon had put on for us as we watched from the distance late the previous afternoon. But when Rick waved his arms and let out a couple coyote-like barks, our world exploded into a furry of blurred wings. It was anybody's guess as to how many birds took to the air in rolling waves. With the dogs situated in their own pit-type boxes, we hustled into the blind, pushed open the shooting doors, and just stood there taking in the spectacle. This was well worth the price of admission alone. Most of the ducks departed toward the sanctuary of the Sloughs Wildlife Management Area to the northeast. But hundreds circled back, wheeling and banking, reluctant to leave the bounty of the flooded, but ice-tight cornfield that edged the open water 45 yards in front of us. It was shooting time, but none of my three new acquaintances so much as reached for their gun, much less loaded them. They suggested I might. But even with singles, pairs, and a few small flocks working up close and personal, I was reluctant. As their guest I wanted to gun with these guys. And besides, given the scene we'd just witnessed, no one, obviously, felt a sense of urgency. To a man, we were content to just let the hunt unfold.But the brilliant sunrise flipped a switch, abruptly shutting the floodgate on the duck flight. With high skies, and only the slightest drift of an occasional shifting breeze, it was a beautiful January day in Kentucky to be sure. Though I kept my thoughts to myself, I began to wonder about the hunt. As if he read my mind, Jack offered reassuringly, "Not to worry. Some of our best shooting occurs between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The birds have likely fed all night, and given the bluebird weather, most of them will be content to sit out the day on the refuge. But there's always a few that get hungry early, anxious to return to the table we've set for them. Until then," he suggested, "how 'bout we jump into the Ranger and take a little tour of the place." While I would come to learn that The Three Amigos (Jack, Rick, and Clifford; High Ground's original founders) are passionate about their waterfowling, it's nothing compared to the fire I saw in Jack's eyes as he spoke of Highground's past, present, and future. Each stop on our route featured a blind or pit. And whether it was Kate's, The Cathedral, Arkansas, Romain's, or Coon's slough, there was a story to go with the naming of each one. Though cliché, it's only accurate to explain that High Ground is a true labor of love for these guys.A couple gun blasts from Tug's, the day's first, ended our sojourn. Back to the hunt it was. Habitat created by High Ground Hunt Club.Clifford and Cody had just finished recovering the boys' second greencap as Jack and I slid back into the pit. I looked at my watch. It was 10, straight up.Only moments later Rick hissed between calling sequences, "Watch 'um!" I was ready. We all were. When Rick (The Gate Keeper) pulled the master pin, the heavy, expanded metal shooting doors dropped with a resounding thud, and guns spoke. All but mine, that is. It wasn't until the smoke cleared that I asked, "Geez guys, was it something I said?" Only then did they realize we'd never unlocked the safety pin on my lid. Cliff and Jack were falling over, but needlessly straight-faced apologetic. Fun-lovin' Ricky, who readily admits to occasional "Chucky-like" tendencies, was laughing out loud, finding the situation as humorous as it truly was.With that ice-breaker relieving any tensions, the four of us, joined for a time by club manager Will Hagan, enjoyed what proved to be a good, old fashioned duck hunt. Coming in flocks of one, two, and three, we were never covered up with ducks as our predawn experience might have predicted. But throughout those magic midday hours, right up until the club-mandated 2 p.m. shooting time closure, there seemed to always be something in the air.Being totally concealed in the basically flush-mounted pit, I fully expected the 20-yard and under gunning Jack predicted. And though we did have some candy, the terribly pleasant conditions, in concert with the well-educated, late season birds meant Rick (who, with all kidding aside, has the toughest job in the pit) would have to call some wider, longer shots. At first glance I thought it would have been easy. It took a few clumsy tries, but I finally got with the program. Capping my morning was a single, wide-swinging greenhead I stoned. When Gus returned with the bird, it was a pleasant surprise to find I had jewelry.The rest of the casually-hunted day passed in a blur as we mixed a good, old-fashioned bull session with the sporadic shooting opportunities. But lunch was worthy of mention. Hot dogs are the house specialty at Tug's. Prepared on an old, mini mart-style broiler, and served, lathered in horse radish and pickle relish on crumbly, day old buns.We ended that first day with 19 ducks, and a solitary, Kamikaze goose, under still high skies suddenly filling with ducks that knew it was two o'clock. The action had been slow by High Ground's standards, but discounting the pair of ducks Will accounted for in the short time he was with us; we still exceeded Jack's professed goal of averaging four birds/gun/day. While that made him (The Boss) happy; it's fair to say I was impressed. Ont the second day, it was back to Tug's. But it was soon obvious things were going to be different. The skies were high, but thinly overcast. Instead of clouds of overnighting mallards, we kicked not more than a couple hundred out of the hole in our pre-dawn advance. The previous day's thaw and mild evening temps had apparently provided the birds a lot more open water roosting options than they'd had the night before. Given the circumstances, it was agreed by all to get with the program from shooting time on. Where's the ducks?Though we passed on none other than Susies, our shots proved few and far between in the early going. A situation that was hard on itchy trigger fingers and anxious dogs, but one that provided a chance to learn more about Henderson County, Kentucky's rich waterfowling tradition in general. It was explained that this land near the confluence of the Wabash and Ohio rivers has long been a ducking hotspot, providing endless backwater options to mobile, properly-equipped, hard-working hunters. Then there is the state-operated Slough's WMA that offers limited-entry hunting out of its pits and blinds on a draw, then first come/first served basis. Sloughs has always held ducks, and had long been a major wintering ground for thousands of MVP Canadas. But beginning in the mid to late '90s, during a series of mild winters, it, along with similar refuges on the same latitude in Illinois, lost the majority of its geese to more northern climes. Surrounding Sloughs and throughout Henderson County, and those that abutt it, are a number of private hunt clubs. But unlike High Ground's 3000 plus-acre, multiple blind operation, most are only one or two pit affairs loosely supported by a handful of partners/members.Clifford was quick to point out that this was shaping up to be their best goose season in years. Likely as a result of the more severe winter in the Great White North in '07/'08, Sloughs was once again holding geese in huntable numbers. Then, barely clearing the trees, there they were, a dozen honkers winging low, headed our way. The boys broke loose with their short reeds, but to no avail. But then there came another flight, closely followed by two more, and even more after that.But these were tough birds. After an hours worth of mounting frustration Clifford insisted, "We're goin' to have to take 'em on the swing. It's our only chance." We did just that on the next flock. It produced a pair of wing-broken birds that crashed into the corn stubble 100 yards off. Skeet, Clifford's gloden had, got the call, making short work of the cripples.The Canadas continued to string our way. And when we had the chance, we chipped away at 'em. As we did it was interesting to note the change in Clifford's demeanor. Probably the most laid back of the bunch when it came to ducks, he had turned up the wick, tearing into the geese like he was mad at 'em. Suddenly set-jawed, even the slim, signature stogie ever-clenched in his teeth, took a beating. When I noted as much out loud he readily volunteered, "Oh yeah, I love gunnin' them big honkers!" A man after my own heart to be sure. We managed but a couple limits of ducks that second day. But taking what High Ground and the Red Gods would give us, we filled out on geese with a pair apiece. While it had been another fine, late-season day in Kentucky, little did we know that the next would be a classic.Northwestern Kentucky had been blanketed by a wet, heavy, three-inch snowfall overnight. Being a Wisconsinite, it was only natural I felt right at home as Jack, Gus, and I sloshed our way toward the Arkansas pit that last morning. Though soggy and bone-chilled, we warmed to the spectacle and accompanying racket that was swarm after thundering swarm of ducks blasting out of our hole, then mystically evaporating into the treetop-hugging scud so suddenly that in only minutes we were left wondering if what we'd seen and heard had really happened. Makin' waves, belly-up.As we settled into this more Spartan, basic steel pit sunk into a dike separating two cells of reclaimed wetlands, Gus took up his perch at one end. Able to see out of this dog box, his at-attention posture spoke volumes of the hunt to come.Daylight had to fight its way into our gray and white surroundings. Though it was shooting time, it was still too dark to tell the boys from the girls when the day's first customers materialized out of the low ceilings, hanging on tightly-cupped wings, then splashing comfortably into the blocks."Aw, this is goin' to be good!" I not so brilliantly mentioned to The Boss who replied with a knowing, tolerant grin. "Looks that way doesn't it?"Our next visitors, two drakes chasing a solitary hen, appeared just as suddenly, but magically in the gathering light, this time in full color. I could see my host wasn't going to make the first move. So I obliged him, canning one of the greencaps. We were so polite it was almost sickening. "Take 'em," one of us would offer. "Naw, you take 'em," would be the standard reply, while more often than not, neither of us would.And so it went, each of us, almost grudgingly, taking turns. Aw, but this was High Ground; duck hunting at its finest! The likes of which would have served any Nash Buckingham tale well. Being where they wanted to be, there was no keeping the birds out of our setup. Setting our guns aside we sat, watched, and quietly talked for a while as ducks continued to work our rig. It was a good time to get a couple questions answered."Given its immediate proximity to Sloughs, has High Ground been additive, or has it detracted from the WMA's effectiveness as a wintering ground?" I asked."I'm a little prejudiced naturally," Jack responded, "but there's little question that we've had a positive impact. This area is holding more ducks overall as a result of both the wetlands we've created and maintain, and the food we provide. And unlike other clubs, we keep our wetlands flooded, and therefore our food sources available, until the birds leave in Spring, sending them north in the best shape we can. And we produce our share of wood ducks too, adding and maintaining more nesting structures each year.""And what about the hunting?" I followed. "How do Highground members score relative to other clubs and public opportunities in the area?""Much better, no doubt", Jack replied, adding, "And sure, we have our detractors. Those who are jealous of us for that. But our hunting€¦specifically, providing quality hunting€¦is in great part what we're all about. To our naysayers I'd offer, 'You get out of your hunting what you put into it. And we put an awful lot into ours, all year!'"With our hunt all but wrapped up, Jack was anxious to check in on some of the other members hunting that morning. So he suggested I finish my day with the boys back in Tug's.When I got there I found quite the party goin' on. Clifford and Rick, along with club members Charley Porter and Brian Bulkly, and his guest, Giblet, were pretty much giving it to each other, their good-natured banter interrupted by shooting opportunities only. With jokes flowin', cigars puffin', and ducks flyin' like there was no tomorrow, they hunted casually, like they knew they were going to get it done. And as they did, Clifford and his charge for the day, the black Lab, Kate, were kept plenty busy. Handling one tricky blind after another, Clifford's skills as a full time retriever trainer were clearly evident once again. Always straight-faced and ever the pro, going about his work in a matter-of-fact manner, but with a subtle gleam in his eye, it's not hard to see "The Dog Man" truly loves what he does.Prime, late season greencaps dominated the shooting that last, great duck day; but there were enough bonus birds flying to keep us on our toes. In the end our full bag included gadwall, wigeon, ringnecks, a spoonie, and even a pair of woodies. Along with the rest of the day's combatants, we were happily recapping its notable events back at Tin City, the club's headquarters, when Jack's cell rang. It was Gunner, Will Hagan's nine year old son, and the vanguard of High Ground's future generations, calling. The Boss held the phone out for me to listen in.The High Ground StoryEstablished in 1997 with the original bottomland purchase of 250 acres, High Ground is best described as a modern day hunt club founded in the grand old tradition. Let there be no doubt about it; when the season is in, High Ground is all about the hunting. But unlike traditional clubs of the past that were just about killing birds, High Ground is much more. This club was founded with the expressed intention of preserving the land and the hunting traditions it supports for the benefit of future generations.To that end High Ground's owners employ modern game and land management practices; and make major annual investments of time and money to improve habitat and restore wetlands. Thankful for the gifts the land has provided, it is the club's way of giving back.High Ground's membership is held to lofty standards by peer pressure alone. Only those who hunt ethically, and who seek a true quality experience qualify as members over the long run.Though a members-only club, High Ground further promotes our sport by opening its facilities to sponsored youngsters during Kentucky's February youth hunt, and to handicapped hunters sponsored by owners or members anytime throughout the season.In addition to the waterfowl program, High Ground's 3000-plus current, contiguous acres are managed as a trophy whitetail operation. Only bucks scoring 160 inches or better are allowed to be harvested by gun or muzzleloader, with 130 or better being the standard for bowhunters.Though most reside in southwestern Indiana and northwestern Kentucky, High Ground does have members from as far away as Louisville and Atlanta. The club's present goal is to max out at 30 waterfowl members and 30 deer members annually. Still in the growth stage, High Ground has openings at this time."Didja' git yer limit today, Mr. Jack?" the lad asked hopefully."No, son," Jack replied with a wink and a grin, "I ran outa' time again!"Being mentored by his father and The Three Amigos, I suspect the lad knows full well just what The Boss meant.

Mumsnet user sparks debate after suggesting pyjamas should be washed 'every day'… so what do YOU think?
The mum questioned whether she was being unreasonable to 'think that really pyjamas should be washed after every wear'
A WOMAN has sparked a fierce debate online about how often you should wash your pyjamas.
Taking to parenting forum Mumsnet, the mum questioned whether she was being unreasonable to "think that really pyjamas should be washed after every wear".
But her post seemed to leave other members of the forum divided - with some saying that they only wash theirs once a week.
One woman confessed that she doesn't wash hers every day, but did admit that she would wash similar items more often.
She added: "But they are worn next to the skin for eight hours and I'd wash anything else worn like that."
Others were quick to wade in and say that they change their pyjamas every day.
One person wrote: "I have a clean pair for every evening and so do my children... just always have."
Another added that the reason they change their pyjamas every day was because they didn't wear underwear underneath.
But, many also disagreed with the notion of washing nightwear everyday - with some suggesting it was bad for the environment to do so.
One person observed: "I don't wash jeans every day, so why would I was pyjamas every day? I wear one set for about three or four nights".
Another added: "I never go to bed without a shower, and wear pants with PJ bottoms, so I wear mine for a couple of nights."
Others were far more lax with their pyjama washing schedules, with one person adding: "I wash mine when I remember."
BOG STANDARD JOBS Household hygiene experts reveal the jobs you should do EVERY DAY… and you're about to feel like a slob
Some people deemed the whole notion of washing pyjamas daily a too much, adding that the "obsession" with cleanliness was a "bit bonkers".
Meanwhile, a furious Mumsnet user found her nanny left her baby to cry herself to sleep… so who's in the right?
And, a mum was slammed by her sister for letting her husband put their kids to bed twice a week because "mummy should do it".

French Press Says Le Pen Will Hover Over Elections
PRESS REVIEW - On Monday morning, the day after the first round of the French presidential election, French newspapers devoted just as much attention to the high score earned by third-place candidate Marine Le Pen as they did to the two candidates who will advance to the second round.
The morning after election day, France woke up with a "vague hangover" according to French daily economic journal Les Échos, which bames this collective queasiness on the high score earned by far-right candidate Marine Le Pen (17.9%). According to columnist Jean-Francis Pécresse, the shadow of the Front national candidate will "hang over the campaigns of the second round."
The free daily Métro now anticipates a "head-on collision" (choc frontal) between Socialist François Hollande (who earned 28.6% of votes) and Nicolas Sarkozy (who earned 27.2%). But choc frontal holds a double meaning: it also refers to the collision with Front national candidate Marine Le Pen, who will hold the balance of power in the second round the daily suggests.
In an editorial written by Nicolas Demorand, the editor-in-chief of left-wing newspaper Libération, the first round of this year's elections resembles the infamous 2002 election when the radical right, represented by Marine Le Pen's father, made it to the second round.
"It isn't as serious as it was ten years ago, but it is just as worrying-- if not more," he writes.
Libération still celebrates Hollande's victory on its front page but highlights that Marine Le Pen's high score spoiled the fun, calling her a "spoilsport" who "managed to do something even worse than her father did." Finally, the paper says that Sarkozy's low score puts him in a weak position for the second round.
For French daily Le Parisien, if the duel between Hollande and Sarkozy was "expected," the apparition of Marine Le Pen is a "surprise." The newspaper chooses to focus on the failures of other candidates, saying that François Bayrou's third campaign for president was "one campaign too many." The low score earned by Jean-Luc Mélenchon is a "disappointment" as he will not "put on the suit of the third man" (Mélenchon finished in fourth place.) The newspaper also says that candidate Jacques Cheminade will have to "come back down to earth" after rancorously refusing to let journalists enter the rooms where his followers were holding meetings.
Far left newspaper L'Humanité looks on the bright side, saying that the double digit score earned by Jean-Luc Mélenchon (11.1%) means that the Front de Gauche is emerging as a "new political force." Instead of talking about the victory of François Hollande, the newspaper called it "Sarkozy's denial."
The free daily 20 Minutes estimated that there will be not one but three decision makers in the second round: François Bayrou, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen. According to 20 Minutes, centrist candidate Bayrou of the MoDem will have to "choose between several options to secure his future." However, the newspaper reckons the far-right and far-left voters who follow Le Pen or Mélenchon have already decided who they'll vote for in the second round.
As for the local press, regional newspaper Presse Océan (from western France) sees Marine Le Pen's score as a "wave" unrolling on the French political landscape. This wave "pulverized" Jean-Luc Mélenchon, according to Le Courrier picard (north). Last but not least, Midi libre (south) underlines this telling stat: "Almost one out of five voters adheres to Le Pen's political program."
