    INSIDE: JOURNALISM ADVICE FROM A BEST-SELLING NOVELIST • ANGELO LOPEZ ON CARTOONING • SIGMA DELTA CHI AWARDS WINNERS MAY/JUNE 2017 The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation announces the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award to honor a person or persons who have fought to protect and preserve one or more of the rights guaranteed by the First Amend- ment. Mr. Pulliam, who passed away in January 1999, was well-known for consistently using his own considerable influence and that of his newspaper to support activities that educated the public about First Amendment rights and values. The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation has established this annual award to honor those committed to the same goals as a tribute to the professional contributions that Eugene S. Pulliam made to journalism and to the freedoms outlined in the First Amendment. At the Excellence in Journalism 2017 Conference, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation will honor an individual, group of individuals or organization with a $10,000 cash award and an engraved statue. The honoree(s) also will receive transportation to the conference in New Orleans, La. Nominations are open to any person, persons or organization in the U.S. or its territories who have worked to protect the basic rights provided by the First Amend- ment. Honorees do not have to be journalists. In fact, the Foundation encourages recognition of those outside the journalism profession for their First Amendment efforts and initiatives, such as, but not limited to, public officials, members of the legal profession, scholars, educators, librarians, students and ordinary citizens.

Today, a government panel released guidelines that could improve those numbers. Healthy adults between the ages of 55 and 80 who are heavy smokers- they’ve smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for thirty years, should get an annual low-dose CT scan to detect early signs of cancer. Those who have quit within the last fifteen years should also be screened. “We think this will make a big difference and many people will be able to enjoy a very productive life once they get screened and they find their lung cancer early,” said Claudia Henschke, MD, Professor of Radiology at The Mount Sinai Hospital. -Dr. Claudia Henschke, Professor of Radiology, The Mount Sinai Hospital Learn more: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/53946523/#53946523 The Atlantic – December 30 How Sleep Deprivation Decays the Mind and Body– Seth Maxon Getting too little sleep can have serious health consequences, including depression, weight gain, and heart disease.
