BIELO Executive Director FAREWELL In past years 1 have used the January "Viewpoint" to present a few New Year's Resolutions. This year when the January ANGLER goes to press 1 will no longer be the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Fish Com­ mission, thus this will be my last "Viewpoint" column. Looking back briefly I recall that my early days at the Linesville Hatchery convinced me that the work of the Fish Culturist is a combination of hard physical labor, the endurance of extremes of heat and cold and a "Mother's" constant concern over the complex needs of the delicate stock being nurtured. Service as a Waterways Patrolman opened my eyes to pollution and the terrible toll untreated wastes of all kinds were taking of our price­ less water resources. During this period 1 also had a chance to discover that while a few folks deliberately violated the laws established to protect our fisheries resources, most people willingly observed the laws and were genuinely interested in our fish and wildlife. Later as a Fishery Biologist this interest of growing numbers of Pennsylvanians in the sound management of our natural resources became much more evident, although just ten years ago public concern of outdoors affairs was but a fraction of what it is today. Items of prime concern then involved the many actions of man leading to siltation of our streams and to the seemingly endless schemes to channel all waterways, obliterating most na­ tural habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.

  • Proceedings of the International Consensus Meeting on Periprosthetic Joint Infection Chairmen: Thorsten Gehrke MD Javad Parvizi MD, FRCS
    Proceedings of the International Consensus Meeting on Periprosthetic Joint Infection Chairmen: Thorsten Gehrke MD Javad Parvizi MD, FRCS 1 Foreword “The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.” Benjamin Franklin The battle against infection is as old as human civilization. During the last few centuries, great scholars such as Louis Pasteur, Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, Alexander Fleming, and Joseph Lister have transformed the practice of medicine through their extraordinary discoveries. Despite the progress made and strides gained, our mission to prevent infection following surgery remains unaccomplished. It is not an exaggeration to claim that fear of infection lives in the hearts of every surgeon who steps into the operating room daily. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), with all its disastrous implications, continues to pose a challenge to the orthopaedic community. Practicing orthopaedic surgeons have invested great efforts to implement strategies that may minimize surgical site infection (SSI). Although high- level evidence may support some of these practices, many are based on little to no scientific foundation. Thus, there is a remarkable variation in practices across the globe for prevention and management of PJI. Should one use a laminar flow room for elective arthroplasty? How much and which antibiotic should one add to cement spacers? What metric should one use to decide on the optimal timing of reimplantation? What are the indications and contraindications for irrigation and debridement? How many irrigation and debridement in a joint should be attempted before resection arthroplasty needs to be considered? And what is the best type of skin preparation prior to surgery? These are among the many questions that the orthopaedic community faces on a daily basis.

BOX 325 BRIELLE, N.J. 08730 From the Commodore Welcome to the 122nd year of the Manasquan River Yacht Club I am thrilled to serve as the 53rd Commodore of the Manasquan River Yacht Club. I humbly walk in the footsteps of the many great Commodores who have admirably served our beloved club over the last 122 years. This past year has been a challenge for all of us due to the Covid pandemic. It has also been a major challenge for our club. I am so proud of how much we accomplished last year without risking the health and safety of our members and staff. While there is still a certain level of uncertainty that remains in 2021, we are moving forward with optimism to plan an exciting future for our club. MRYC is a home away from home for our Members and their guests. Members create shared family memories and build enduring friendships while enjoying sailing, tennis and swimming programs. Our full social calendar and daily activities provide Members many ways to find their bliss. Whether its participating in the many activities the Club affords or enjoying family dinners at the Upper Deck, on the Bluffs or by the pool, the Club provides a welcome respite from our hectic daily lives. Thank you for trusting me to steer our Club through some challenging times.
