The Adjuvant Therapy for Stage III Colon Cancer Pocket Guide is based on the latest guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and was developed with their collaboration. It contains graded recommendations for management of stage III colon cancer.
In 2018, approximately 97,000 people living in the United States will be diagnosed with colon cancer. Of these patients, just less than one-third will have stage III disease, characterized by spread to regional lymph nodes and absence of distant metastases.
The primary treatment option for patients with stage III colon cancer is resection with curative intent, however recurrence rates can be as high as 50–80% with surgery alone.
Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended to improve overall survival for patients who have a high risk of recurrence.
Using a predefined threshold, noninferiority of three months compared to six months of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy was not proven for disease-free survival (DFS), the primary outcome.
The relative risk of all grade 3-4 adverse events, and grade 3-4 peripheral sensory neurotoxicity up to one month post-treatment was significantly lower with three months vs. six months of dual agent chemotherapy.
Within the high-risk group defined in the IDEA Collaboration (T4 and/or N2), superior DFS was found with 6 months versus 3 months duration of dual-agent chemotherapy.
Within the low-risk group (T1 to 3, N1), DFS was noninferior with 3 months versus 6 months duration of dual-agent chemotherapy.
3 months of treatment was not inferior to 6 months for patients treated CAPOX.
3 months of treatment was found to be inferior to 6 months for patients treated with FOLFOX.

Alberto Sirlin (born 25 November 1930, in Buenos Aires, died February 23, 2022, in New York City) was an Argentine theoretical physicist, specializing in particle physics.

Biography
Sirlin studied from 1948 to 1952 at the University of Buenos Aires, where he received his doctorate in 1953 under the supervision of Richard Gans. In 1953–1954 Sirlin was a fellow at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas in Rio de Janeiro, where he took several graduate courses, including one taught by Richard Feynman. Sirlin was in 1954–1955 at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and in 1955–1957 at the Cornell University, where in 1958 he received a doctorate under the supervision of Tōichirō Kinoshita. From 1957 to 1959 he was a research assistant at Columbia University. At New York University he was from 1959 to 1961 an assistant professor, from 1961 to 1968 an associate professor, and from 1968 a full professor, retiring in 2008.

Sirlin did research in the 1950s on radiative corrections in the theory of muon decay, i.e. higher-order corrections in the allowed weak interactions of quantum electrodynamics (QED). In 1960 Sirlin and Ralph E. Behrends discovered the nonrenormalization theorem for partially conserved vector currents in the SU(2) theory of weak interactions and suggested the theorem's generalization to higher symmetry. Their theorem plays an important role in experimentally verifying predictions from the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. Beginning in the 1970s Sirlin did research with his student William J. Marciano on higher-order corrections in leptonic decays. With Tsung-Dao Lee and Richard M. Friedberg, Sirlin did research on non-topological soliton solutions in quantum field theory.

Sirlin was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1971. He was in the academic year 1983–1984 a Guggenheim Fellow and in 1997 received the Alexander von Humboldt Award. In 2002 Sirlin and William J. Marciano received the Sakurai Prize for their collaborative research on the theory of electroweak interactions.

Here is What We Know about the Brazos County Covid-19 Variant
Texas A&M Researchers genetic sequencing strategy pays off
By Dr Jeff Livingston
Logo: Texas A&M University
Brazos valley scientists at Texas A&M University announced breaking news in the fight against Covid-19. The school discovered a new, potentially more contagious variant in a young student.
The new variant is being called, BV-1, referring to its origin in the Brazos Valley. Although only one case has been identified, scientists are watching closely as this new strain shows signs of resistance to immune system antibodies. A potentially vaccine-resistant Covid-19 variant creates new challenges for public health workers.
According to the press release, a Texas A&M student tested positive for Covid-19 on March 5th. Most labs reserve genetic sequencing for severe cases of Covid-19, but the research scientists at Texas A&M have taken a different approach by sequencing Covid strains from severe, mild, and asymptomatic infections.
Genetic sequencing provides public policymakers with more information to better guide health policy. This comprehensive approach enables the early detection of new health threats as the research team closely monitors the coronavirus circulating strains in Texas.
Testing has slowed in Texas but remains a critical element of our fight against the pandemic. Testing allows us to diagnose and treat those who have Covid-19. Testing enables health workers to do contact tracing and find others who may have been exposed. Testing with genetic sequencing provides information to the public health system to track trends in specific communities.
The CDC tracks the various coronavirus strains and categorizes them into lineages. The viral groups are then categorized as variants of concern (VOC) or variants of interest (VOI). At this point, BV-1 is uncategorized. The Uk strain, B.1.1.7, is the dominant strain in most states, including Texas. The B.1.1.7 variant accounts for 44.7% of the cases load in Texas.
SARS-CoV-2 Variants Circulating in the United States
Chart: CDC.gov
Scientists track the emerging variants to better understand how easily they might be transmitted. They also monitor the variants response to our currently FDA-approved vaccines.
The B.1.1.7 variant first emerged in the UK during September 2020 but quickly became a dominant variant worldwide. It has a specific mutation in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This mutation makes it easier to spread. The UK reported evidence that the B.1.1.7 variant may be associated with an increased risk of death in January. Other early reports found no evidence that the B.1.1.7 variant impacted the severity of the disease. These reports also showed our vaccines are effective against B.1.1.7.
One case of Covid BV-1 may seem like no big deal. The discovery of the new variant raised eyebrows because Covid BV-1 may be resistant to antibodies. BV-1 has some genetic similarities to the B.1.1.7 variant (UK strain), which has proven to more contagious and potentially more dangerous. BV-1 also shares genetic markers with other coronavirus strains that can bypass neutralizing antibodies.
Sharing the discovery of the BV-1 variant is essential because of its genetic similarity to other coronavirus strains that can evade the immune system antibodies.
Antibodies are present in our bodies after natural infection or after vaccination. To reach herd immunity, enough people must have antibodies to prevent a virus from spreading. Data shows Covid-19 survivors generated antibodies after natural infection, and patients with a mild disease lose this protection faster than those who had a severe illness.
The Texas A&M University researchers provide large amounts of data to help Texas public health officials and the CDC monitor potential threats to our community. This data will be critically important as we move into the next phase of the pandemic and address the growing needs of those with post-Covid conditions.
A recent report shows one out of three Covid-19 survivors continue to have symptoms after their initial infection resolves. Stories about "Covid long haulers" are popping up worldwide.

Spring has finally came back to the UP! And it's time to start working again. We are laying 6″ blocks, 2 tall by 2 wide…with insulation sprayed in the middle for our barrier. Weather permitting we should have them completed soon. Stay tuned and thanks for following us at Northern WalkAbout.
Hi Faith, the blocks are layed out for the base of our cordwood walls…to follow this summer.
We have research and are still learning about this cordwood building process. We are connected with a team of people that have been building cordwood homes for 25+ years. Check out http://cordwoodconstruction.org and you will find some amazing cordwood building. In July we will have a cordwood workshop on site for the beginning construction of our cordwood walls. Thanks for following us at Northern WalkAbout!


The old-traditional way of life has vanished for ever. Today only villages and some small towns remind us of this kind of life, and as time passes, more people choose to abandon traditional way of life, to move to the "big city". Modern way of life has nothing in common with the traditional one. Human habits, values, norms have changed. The most important of these social changes can be observed in human relationships, family economy, education, government, health, and religion. To be able to examine these changes, one has to compare traditional and modern way of life.
Furthermore, education changed. Pre-industrial societies addressed education only to the elite and the rich. Being educated at that time was considered a privilege. In modern societies, however, basic education is open for everyone, and the number of persons achieving higher education is rising all the time, while the number of illiterate is diminishing (Macionis: 514-515).
The most important changes were brought in the economy and the way of earning income. Industrialization turned everything upside-down in this sector of human activity. In pre-industrial societies income and the economy as a whole, were based on agriculture and manufacturing in home. Wealth was not something to be pursued, the character and personality of the individual had greater value than his wealth: "the hard-working poor man is superior to the lazy rich man" (Vidich: 230). In modern economies everything is based on industrial mass production and white-collar jobs have increased. The pursuit for wealth is so high that if we compare it with traditional societies, modern ones would look corrupted (Macionis: 408).

They say that experience changes a person. 2014 has definitely changed me(like every other year). It was filled with so many happenings, good and bad. There were times when all I wanted to do was be cooped up in my bedroom, isolated from the outside world. However, there were those days that kept me going. Those were the days I'd be forever grateful for.
That's what I really like about the present me. "Count your blessings, not your neighbors'." I used to be this kind of person who was never satisfied with what I had. I always wanted more. I wanted to be better than everybody. I could have, would have, should have. My world revolved mostly around those three phrases. It was tiring to be like that all the time. Never satisfied. It was like a hunger that couldn't be quenched. As long as I could still go on, what I have now is never enough. That was my mentality. Surprisingly, I didn't realize that until I said something to a friend of mine. It made me sound like an ungrateful biatch. Sigh.
I can't really list everything down here. You can check out some of the books I've read by clicking 'Angelica's Quotes' that will direct you to my Goodreads profile instead hehe. As for movies, I don't really keep track. Teehee!
1. I never ever want to betray anybody's trust.
2. Never ever fall for the wrong guy again(Haha! I don't think this is plausible because like you, I'm human too. This list does not guarantee that I'll be living a Saint's life).
3. Never ever waste my time on people/things/situations that doesn't make me happy.
4. Never ever want to eat shrimp, it gives me mild allergy. Ugh.
5. Regret. Every action I take is done for a reason. It may sound irrational a few years down the road, but at least I wouldn't be left thinking that I should have done it a few years back. I wouldn't be left with regret because I was too scared to give it a try.
AHA! Gotcha! Just ask me personally if you wanna know haha!
I actually couldn't wait to write this one down. So much for being humble, Angel. Haha! There was this one time when I was trying on clothes in front of my sis. Out of the blue, she complimented my collar bone. That was so unexpected of her because she usually doesn't give me compliments and that is a weird thing to say.
*Quickly flips through pages of quotes* This one quote has been giving me courage ever since 5ever, especially at my lowest.
Lies within myself. Really! One's happiness shouldn't be dependent on a person or materialistic pleasures. They can easily come and go. What'd be left of you once they're gone?
My favorite failure? The dumbest mistake I've done on the last year of my secondary school life, which was not so long ago.

    }

Currently I am unable to get a response from the server because the application doesn't wait for the response from the user. How do I pause the application so that fir the dialog box appears first, takes users input and then further after authentication, only continue the application.
Requesting you to please help me with your suggestions.

A: You need to do something like this:

*

*Your main page is created (initialize what needs) and is started

*Your main page opens the pop up dialog

*User type in name and question, click something

*At this point, you make the server request (on background). Here your main page or pop up must show some indicator that it's waiting, like a spinner

*If server is successful, you stop spinning and continue

*If server is unsuccessful, you stop spinning, print some error to the user, and let her try again

Also, execution code shouldn't be done in onCreate(), but in onStart() and then whenever the server is back to you with a positive answer. See activity lifecycle for this really basic stuffs

A: Try this by change method securityquestion() like below:
public void securityquestion(){
    final EditText txtUrl = new EditText(this);
    final EditText txtUrl2 = new EditText(this);
    final String[] ans1 = {""};
    final String[] ans2 = {""};
// Set the default text to a link of the Queen
        final int num = getradomquestionumber();
        String messge = "";
        if(num==1)
        {
            txtUrl.setHint("First Pet name");
            messge = "What is your first pet name?";
        }else{
            txtUrl.setHint("Mother's maiden name");
            messge = "What is your mother's maiden name?";
        }
        txtUrl2.setHint("User Name");
    new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this)
            .setTitle("User Name")
            .setMessage("Enter UserName")
            .setView(txtUrl2)
            .setPositiveButton("Enter", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                    String url = txtUrl2.getText().toString();
                    ans1[0] = url;
                    // moustachify(null, url);

                    //ask question and get result
                    new AlertDialog.Builder(LoginActivity.this)
                            .setTitle("Security Question")

Why saline sinkholes are swallowing the Dead Sea
By Paul HunterFeature reporter
Sat., May 9, 2015timer3 min. read
The Dead Sea is slowly dying.
Named for its absence of aquatic life due to a high concentration of salt, the lake — between Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories — is suffering a different kind of mortality as more than 3,000 sinkholes are swallowing up its shores.
The mismanagement of water resources has resulted in gaping craters, some that could swallow an eight-storey building.
The Dead Sea has the lowest elevation on Earth and, with 34 per cent salinity, the lake is about 10 times saltier than the ocean because there are no outlets that allow the minerals to leave. Throughout history, water levels were maintained because evaporation from the lake was matched by water flowing in to it from the Jordan River.
Now, the lake is shrinking because so much water is being diverted from its source to serve industry, agriculture and population growth.
As the lake evaporates and gets smaller, concentrations of salt deposits remain under its shore. When fresh groundwater rises through rainfall or runoff from the mountains, the salt dissolves, creating cavities underground that are collapsing.
"The main cause of the sinkholes is mismanagement of the water resources. (People are) over-exploiting this water through diversion," says Mohammed Obidallah, Palestinian project manager of Good Water Neighbours, which was established by a joint Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian environmental group called Friend of the Earth Middle East.
"This is like nature's revenge because of such practices."
In the 1960s, as more people moved into the region, the Israelis built a pumping station to take water from the upper Jordan to use as a water supply. In the '70s, Jordan and Syria began diverting water from the Jordan River's main tributaries. Water has also been taken from the lake and pumped into evaporation pools in order to extract potash, phosphates and bromide.
Danger to tourists
The Dead Sea has long been a magnet for tourists drawn by the lake's buoyancy and the restorative powers of its mineral waters and mud baths. Those visitors are a huge source of income for the region.
Now, many parts of the lake are surrounded by signs warning of open pits. The hazard is magnified because sinkholes can form without warning. ABC News reported that a portion of Israel's Hwy. 90, the main road south, had to be repaired after it sank five centimetres.
"If nothing is done," Gidon Bromberg, the Israeli director of Friend of the Earth Middle East, told the network, "it's only a matter of time until someone dies."
Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian authorities are pushing forward with a water co-operation agreement intended to help save the Dead Sea from getting even smaller. The plan is to connect the shrinking lake to the Red Sea with 180 kilometres of pipeline and canals that will pump water north to the Dead Sea.
If the project gets funding and proceeds — it will cost more than $10 billion according to Obidallah — water would be desalinated for human consumption with the briny water refuse ending up in the lake. The moving water would also provide hydro power.
Obidallah would prefer to see the focus on reversing the damage to the Jordan River to get it flowing at close to full volume again. He would also like to see the methods of extracting minerals from the Dead Sea reformed to be less damaging.
As well, Obidallah worries about the environmental impact of the Red-Dead canal. He notes it would lead to red algae and gypsum in the Dead Sea when the two waters mix. It would also create the potential for polluting the groundwater between the Red and the Dead Seas with sea water if the pipeline, which crosses an area known for seismic activity, leaks.
"I think it will be catastrophic to the ecosystem," he said.

Trump wants chipmakers to set up factories in the US
The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with major semiconductor manufacturers, including Intel and TSMC, to establish factories in the United States.
According to reports, discussions are focused on getting chipmakers to set up their units within the country, reducing American reliance on Asian countries, especially China, to source critical parts for chips and other microelectronics.
This news comes in at a tricky time for US and Chinese relations. President Donald Trump has blamed the Chinese government of deliberately hiding details about the coronavirus, while the Chinese have been busy rubbishing the American claims.
Bi-party trade relations have already been strained for some time, with the US having accused and banned several Chinese companies of spying and espionage.
Intel is reportedly already in discussion with the US Department of Defense, with the company's vice president of policy and technical affairs Greg Slater stating this could be a "great opportunity". Slater added that Intel is "very serious" about the plan to provide advanced computing chips to both US government and other customers.
Intel's spokesperson, William Moss said in a prepared statement, "Intel is well-positioned to work with the U.S. government to operate a U.S.-owned commercial foundry and supply a broad range of secure microelectronics."
On the other hand, TSMC or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, has not yet made a final decision on building a factory in the US and is still evaluating available options, despite long-running talks with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
TSMC spokeswoman Nina Kao said in a statement, "We are actively evaluating all the suitable locations, including in the U.S., but there is no concrete plan yet."
A similar Wall Street Journal report suggested that Apple and TSMC were in talks of setting up a chip manufacturing facility in the United States. The report also mentioned that the government official had approached the South Korean tech giant Samsung to expand its chip manufacturing operation in the country. Samsung already has one such factory in Austin, Texas.
While all or one of these companies may agree to the idea of setting up a facility in the United States, it may be a long and complicated process and they may still have to be dependent on the Asian supply chain for critical spare parts.

When I started out on the addictive path of cycling, I could only focus on improving my riding skills and fitness. Everything else, like bike maintenance and know-how, fell at the way-side, and into the hands of my partner. It wasn't that I wasn't interested in learning, but often the choice would be taken out of my control and a routine soon developed where I would make the post-ride meal, he'd take care of the bikes.
Why is dating a female cyclist so awesome?
Picking up bits and pieces as I rode, like effectively changing and inner tube and assembling a bike from the box, I decided the take matters into my own hands and learn another addictive side to cycling: bicycle mechanics.
That wouldn't do, so I enrolled myself onto a Cytech mechanics course.
When it comes to enrolling on a bike mechanics course, I wanted to get the best education I could. Afterall, your bike is your best friend, companion and a failure with it can end up with a visit to A&E. Having spoken to my mechanic friends and enquired in bike shops, it was obvious that the main governing body for bike mechanics is Cytech.
Cytech accreditation is the benchmark qualification in a majority of bike stores. It's recognised across the UK and Canada, with new schools and academies being set up overseas also. It's intended for those who work in the cycling industry, but members of the general public can enrol too, especially if you're looking for a career change.
Theory One: This is the first step for your training which can be done online. It covers health and safety, torque, lubrication and other essential basics.
Home Mechanic's Course: Ideal for those who enjoy bike mechanics, want to challenge their skills, but not necessarily become a full mechanic.
Technical One: Following on from Theory One, Tech One goes into detail about pre-delivery inspections (PDI's). This 2 day course teaches you to set up and safety check a bike before it's taken out by yourself, or a customer.
Technical Two: This is the bee's knees for bike mechanics. It goes in depth on headsets, derailleur gear systems, hubs, cabled brake systems, wheel building and loads more. Tech two is the minimum level needs to become a bike mechanic in a shop.
Technical Three: For those that love to learn, and want the cherry on the cake… Technical Three covers hydraulics, suspension, advanced wheel building, electronic gear systems and tubular and tubeless tyre installation.
There are additional modules and courses to take on top of these as well. As e-bikes are becoming more and more popular, courses are being developed for mechanics to safely work on these devices.
Having enrolled online for Cytech Theory One, I was granted access to the computer based learning hub on their website. From there, it was simply a case of studying the course material online, watching their videos and completing a multiple choice test at the end of each chapter.
This theory course gave me the basic understanding for Technical One, and I'm so glad I did it. Even just from the online course, I quickly learnt how little I really knew about my bike, and I began to worry. Greases, oils, lubes, hazardous chemicals, and even correctly changing an inner tube and checking tyres, it was all new to me. With my notebook and pen, I jotted down everything I didn't know… which was about 90% of the material.
Having successfully passed each chapter of the theory course, I felt excited and apprehensive in equal measures about the Technical One class. There are a number of schools that teach Cytech courses. The closest one to me being in Stafford at the ATG Training centre.
Feeling nervous, excited and so totally novice to the world of bike mechanics, I made my way to Stafford for my Technical One course. To help settle my nerves, there was obviously road works to make me late on my first day. I could have died walking into that assembled group of men, being the late kid, and the only female. All eyes were on me, and with an awkward wave to the room, I blended myself into the back of the pack.
I fully anticipated being the only girl in the class, but it still didn't prepare me. I'm like an easily startled deer in new group dynamics. Thankfully our trainer, Jim Burley, settled my anxiety with his welcoming nature… that, and there was free tea on offer!
Jim told me that not many females come through the training centre doors, which is a shame. Although the few women to have attended courses have done just as well, if not better than the boys, he thinks it would be great to see more women in the bike mechanics industry, and I couldn't agree more.
The workshop was an OCD's dream. All the tools had a home, everything was clean and open and that alone got me excited for learning. We began with the theory basics, mostly what had been covered in the Theory One course. Jim then lead us into bike safety checks – The M Check.
The M-Check is a way of performing a safety check of the bike in a logical order which is easy to remember. You can learn more about the M-Check here.
After the demonstration, each of us were given a bike to assess. We pointed out problems, potential hazards and anything else we weren't sure on. With a list as long as my arm – because I'm a picky kinda girl – Jim came over to inspect. His assessment was on how vigilant I was to noticing problems, and whether I knew what I would do to fix them.
And then… our bikes were sabotaged.
Jim demonstrated the correct way of attaching a chain to the bike, along with the rear mech. Once fitted to the bike, we had to fixed the sabotaged derailler so that gears would shift smoothly. As much as I had paid attention to the demonstration, it was so easy to forget the small things, drop the quick links and mix up the lock screws. After much fiddling around and checking my notes, I got my rear gears to shift correctly, and even fitted a new gear cable from the lever to the mech.
In a similar fashion of demonstration and practical assessment, the group and myself made our way through the front mech, to the V-brake system and finally onto the wheels themselves.
It felt like there was so much to squeeze into the two days, and for that reason alone, I realised just how little I really knew about bikes. Once Jim had signed off each stage of the course, we all passed our Technical One course with flying colours. I can't tell you how amazing that felt.
After successfully complete Theory One and Technical One of Cytech's bike mechanics course, I feel so much more confident when working on my bike. Just piecing together what parts are called, what they do and how they should work feels so rewarding.
It's surprising to me that there aren't more women getting their hands dirty with bike mechanics. It's hugely addictive to tinker away on the old steed, and it's really rewarding to know that you "did that", or you "fixed that" with confidence and conviction.
Before my Cytech training, I felt unsure about a lot of things when it came with bike mechanics. I was heavily dependant on other people to help me out, and I realise in many ways that can be a burden.
Although I was nervous, the only female in class and I took a lot longer to complete my tasks than the boys, everyone was super lovely in the group, encouraging and helpful and I've come away loving the world of cycling even more – I didn't even think it possible!
Having only learnt the basics with confidence, I can now safely build a bike from the box and check it's ready for riding. I have confidence to change inner tubes, check for damage and even set up deraillers properly.
With my new found sense of wonder and child-like fascination for mechanics, there's so much more I want to learn. Knowing more about this aspect of cycling makes me feel more confident in general, and an improved cyclist over all.

HAMMONTON - Despite being delayed for a day, the Hammonton Fire Department's Christmas Parade still drew a crowd on Sunday night as fire trucks, floats, and Santa Claus himself came down Route 54 to bring some Christmas cheer.
The parade was filled with many participants, including fire trucks from companies throughout the area — such as Richland, Mizpah and, of course, Hammonton. The parade also included numerous floats from local businesses, churches and organizations.
"The main reason this year is that our parish, St. Mary of Mount Carmel, has a float for the first time in years. Plus, we haven't been to a Christmas parade in years," said Dan Sherman about why he and his wife Lydia ventured out to see the parade. The couple came prepared by bundling up and bringing blankets. However, Lydia was still reluctant to come. "He forced me here," laughed Lydia all in good fun.

The town's schools also were represented during the parade with a float from St. Joseph's High School celebrating the school's championship football team. Hammonton High School was represented by the school's band, which would win first place in the parade's Judge's Awards category.
Rilynn and Scarlett Ingemi, 6 and 5, respectively, were ecstatic to come out to see the parade.
"I've been here twice, she [Scarlett] has been here once because I am the oldest," said Rilynn proudly. Their mom, Amanda Ingemi, enjoys bringing her daughters out to town events. "We live in town and we try to come to everything; we love it," said Ingemi.
Ingemi and her daughters deeply love the town of Hammonton, so much so that Scarlett confidently said that she will live in the town "for as long as I live."

Even Santa himself made time in his busy schedule to stop by and take a ride in the parade on one of Hammonton's very own fire trucks.
After each parade participant arrived at the corner of Bellevue and Central avenues, they were examined by judges who went on to choose winners in the three categories of Best Decorated Fire Apparatus, Best Decorated Non-Fire and Judges Awards. The winners in each category were:
Best Decorated Fire Apparatus
• 1st Place – Nesco Fire Company
• 2nd Place – Richland Fire Company
• 3rd Place – Berlin Fire Company
Best Decorated Non-Fire
• 1st Place – Victory Bible Church
• 2nd Place – Our Lady of Guadalupe
• 3rd Place – Paul Morris Dance Explosion
Judges Awards
• 1st Place – Hammonton High School Band
• 2nd Place – Scout Troop 58
• 3rd Place – Hammonton Center

The American College of Radiology Elects First Female Chair
Posted by Keri Stephens | May 30, 2018 | Associations |
The American College of Radiology (ACR) Board of Chancellors on May 21 elected Geraldine McGinty, MD, MBA, FACR, as chair, making her the first woman elected to that seat in ACR's nearly 100-year history.
McGinty is a practicing radiologist in New York City and faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine, where she serves as the chief strategy officer and chief contracting officer for the Weill Cornell Physician Organization. She served the past two years as vice chair of the ACR Board of Chancellors, following a stint as chair of the ACR Commission on Economics.
The 2018 recipient of ACR's William T. Thorwarth, Jr. MD Award for outstanding contributions in health policy and economics for radiology, McGinty also is an editorial board member and reviewer for the Journal of the American College of Radiology. She also helps lead the ACR Imaging 3.0 program aimed at enhancing radiologists' role in patient-centered care, alternate payment models and value-based payment systems. She also has represented ACR on the American Medical Association's Relative Value Scale Update Committee.
"Dr. McGinty is a renowned expert in healthcare strategy and economics. She has shown outstanding leadership in every ACR role in which she has served and is a tremendous choice to lead radiology as healthcare delivery and payment systems evolve from volume- to value-based care," says ACR Chief Executive Officer, William T. Thorwarth, MD, FACR.
