  • A Letter from the Louisiana Heads of School of ISAS
    A Letter from the Louisiana Heads of School of ISAS Dear Parents, As the leaders of the 15 schools in Louisiana accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS), we have been collaborating with one another this summer to design effective policies and procedures to safely welcome back students to our campuses this fall and to proceed with a rewarding school year. Such mutual support and cooperation is and has been a hallmark of the ISAS and has been especially helpful in the midst of this challenging time. Large or small, urban or more rural, the schools of the ISAS in Louisiana are committed to working together for the best interests of the families and the 8,000 children we collectively have the honor to serve. With the guidance of the Department of Health and state medical advisors, each Louisiana ISAS school will be implementing similar protocols to provide safe campuses in response to COVID-19. These protocols include but are not limited to: • Limited access to campus buildings for those not students, faculty, or staff • Health screening and symptom monitoring procedures for those who are coming to campus • Face covering protocols • Social distancing and grouping students into cohorts where practicable to contain exposure • Policies of quarantining for those diagnosed with COVID-19 as well as for those who have been deemed exposed to such individuals. What is clear is that this pandemic is going to be affecting our school communities for some time. Although these steps will limit the spread of the virus, there is no guarantee they will exclude all asymptomatic carriers.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Concussion Management of New York, New York, USA Corresponding author: Ryan Adams, [email protected] Abstract Introduction In the past few years, there has been a rising interest in both the prevalence and the short- and long-term consequences of concussions. While the main focus of concussion-based research revolves around the National Football League (NFL), attention is now shifting to other high contact leagues like the National Hockey League (NHL), where there is constant player-to-player contact as well as collisions with the perimeter boards. While the body of evidence surrounding injury and concussion rates in the NHL has substantially grown in size over the previous few years, there is still a void pertaining to the in-game effects that could modulate concussion incidence. Our study takes a novel approach to evaluate several “style of play” factors such as home/away perspective, win/loss outcome, points scored, real time length of game, time of season, and player position in modulating concussion rates. Methods Data on concussion incidence for the 2013-2017 National Hockey League seasons was collected utilizing FOX Sports injury tracker.

  • December 2012
    Commencement Exercises THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 ALMA MATER “The Netherlands” (first stanza) O Hofstra, to honor thy name we foregather, Rejoicing in voicing thy praises anew; By thee we are guided, with counsel provided; Sustain us with thy strength in the paths we pursue. DRAFT Commencement Exercises THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 This is the unofficial program of the December 20, 2012, commencement. The official program will be archived on August 20, 2013. History of Hofstra n 1912 William Hofstra had booked passage on the Titanic for his return voyage from Europe. However, a business proposition in Canada forced him to change his plans. Instead he took a ship to Halifax, and the events of his personal history took their rightful course. Information reported in the newspapers of the times allowsI us to look back at the history of the Hofstras and view their lives in a more personal and intimate light. The Hofstras enjoyed a lifestyle filled with social engagements, travel and business ventures. The society pages and gossip columns of the local papers such as the Hempstead Sentinel as well as papers such as The New York Times reported on these events on a continuous basis. From 1894 through the 1930s, both Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra appeared in print for participation in charity events, departures for vacations, hosting wedding receptions at their estate, and attendance at various recreational activities. The earliest report of the Hofstras abroad is 1894, when William and Kate Hofstra departed for Liverpool on the ship Majestic. In 1902 a New York Times reporter in Paris reported that “American visitors in Paris are preparing to return in September,” and included the Hofstras among those who had been to Carlsbad, and were headed for the Hotel Ritz.
