They’re like lawyers. No one wants to go to one, but when you need one...you need one! The earliest documented institutions aiming to provide cures were ancient Egyptian temples. In Ancient Greece, temples dedicated to the healer-god Asclepius functioned as hospitals. India had hospitals at least No. 373 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-February 2016 Page 2 as early as c. 400 BC. Historically, hospitals were normally founded and funded by religious orders or charitable groups or individuals. Nearly 100,000 Americans are hospitalized every day, which means nearly 40 million every year. It’s difficult to compare and rank all hospitals. They differ greatly in service, results, etc., but many specialize in certain areas. For example: the Anderson Cancer Center in Huston is ranked no. 1 in cancer treatment; the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is ranked no. 1 in cardiology and heart surgery; and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City is ranked no. 1 in Orthopedics. Still, a U.S. News & World Report listing of the top ten best U.S. hospitals, released last year, gives the following: 1. Massachusetts General Hospital 2. Mayo Clinic 3. UCLA Medical Center (tied) 3. Johns Hopkins Hospital (tied) 5. Cleveland Clinic 6. Brigham and Women’s Hospital 7. New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell 8.

To be meaningful, this capability must also be obvious to those -who would oppose us. All members of the "National Guard and Reserve who have been called up are a major part of the military power of the United States. That power is essential to the security of our country and to the outcome of the struggle between freedom and communism. Unlike the soldiers in Vietnam, units stationed in the United States are not in a combat area now, but could be, if needed, on a few days' notice. Guardsmen and reservists on active duty are a part; of the US Army in being, a part of America's might, and even though not now engaged in combat are contributing significantly to our effort to convince the Commu­ nists of our determination and ability to stand firm and our readiness to fight if necessary. They are thus performing exactly the same functions as the Regular Army, and these functions are vital. As to how long reservists will be required to remain on active duty, the facts are these. The Congressional resolution under -which reservists were called up provides that they will be released from- active duty within 12 months of the time they came on. The President has said publicly that they will not be retained on active duty any longer than needed. TWO NEW DIVISIONS The Regular Army is already building two new divisions and other supporting units out of the large numbers of draftees of last fall, who are just now, -month by month, coming out of basic training.

  • Artillery Arthur Murray. the Latter Officer Had Prepared the Fort Hancock Master Plan As a Captain Ten Years Earlier. the Ten-Ca
    Artillery Arthur Murray. The latter officer had prepared the Fort Hancock master plan as a captain ten years earlier. The ten-car train made its first stop near the southern end of the proving ground to allow the society to see the great 16-lnch gun, "the largest and most powerful rifle in the world ." This piece was still mounted on the temporary trial carriage on which it was proved several years before. It weighed 130 tons and fired a shell weighing 2,450 pounds. About 200 to 300 yards east of the huge gun, the engineers were shown two targets, representing the belt armor, backing, and framing of "our latest" battleships and cruisers, which had been positioned for the purpose of testing their powers of resistance against modern shells . The next stop was the proof battery. Two rounds were fired at a velocity of 3,000 feet per second from a 6-inch • rapid-fire gun mounted on a barbette carriage. The brief interval of time before the shell struck the water, more than a mile distant, "afforded a dramatic illustration of what is meant by a muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second." Next, five rounds were fired from a 15-pounder rapid-fire gun. Other tests followed. The most spectacular was the firing, with full charge, of a 10- inch rifle mounted on a Buffington-Crozier disappearing carriage. This carriage had been designed by one of the day's hosts. The shell struck the water at a range of about 2\ miles, hurling a geyser of water into the air.
