Policy makers, planners and providers, the U.S. Military Trauma System has revolutionized casualty care, but there is still work to be done! Come to the 2016 AMSUS Annual Meeting to learn how they did it and what is needed next -straight from the people who were responsible, our modern "giants" of trauma care.
Among others, hear COL (Ret) John Holcomb describe the Joint Trauma System; CAPT (Ret) Frank Butler on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC); and how research into shock, resuscitation and wound management have saved so many lives. And most important, a look toward tomorrow for how the skills and knowledge learned so dearly on yesterday''s battlefield will be transitioned to civilians and maintained into the future. View the draft agenda on the Meeting website. Meeting registration is now open. We look forward to seeing you in November.

清华大学圣地亚哥校友组织开展爬山联谊活动
溪流成海，携手同进。在华人也越来越多的美国加州圣地亚哥，不但有相当多的华人同乡会经常组织团聚活动，此间的高校校友会开展的活动也是间隙不断，它们如一条条纽带联系起人们的沟通和交流。
2016 年10月29日（周六），圣地亚哥清华校友在Torrey Pines Reserve举办了一次爬山活动。约30位在本地的清华校友，包括来自本地各大公司、加大圣地亚哥分校、Scripps 高校研究所等，以及兄弟院校的朋友一起参加了这次爬山活动。爬山活动中大家精神抖擞，兴致所至，圆满完成了爬山的计划。活动之后还在大中华美食城举行聚餐，清华校友和亲朋好友欢快轻松地度过了美好的一天。
清华在圣地亚哥的校友开展本次活动，主要是针对过一段时期，总有一些清华校友新搬入圣地亚哥工作或者学习，因此 Hiking 活动基本上成为加强校友间联系，同时帮助新来乍到的新校友快速融入到SD清华校友大家庭里来主要的一项联谊活动。清华大学圣地亚哥校友会网址为：http://tsinghua-sandiego.org

评论：2017 USNews全球大学排名出炉：前十名美国占8 加州占4 |
|
|
「美新周刊」25日公布最新的全球大學排名，結果哈佛第一，史丹福第三；但是哈佛領先的時間可能不會很長，估計很快就會被史丹福追過。為什麼會有這樣的估計？ 美新是做「全美大學排名」的權威，三年前開始做「全球大學排名」，但奇怪的是，美新這兩項排名會出現自相矛盾的情況，例如今年的「全美」第一名是普林斯頓大學，但「全球」第一名卻是哈佛。為什麼會有這樣的矛盾？
原來全球排名中，有一項很特別的評分準則：「聲譽」。例如哈佛的全球聲譽，高居第一，史丹福只是第四；這個準則在美新的全美排名中是沒有的。「聲譽」對柏克萊加大的排名，影響更大。柏克萊在美新的全美排名只是20，但全球排名卻高升至第四，反映出柏克萊的招牌在全球有多響亮。
中國人對柏克萊也特別有好感，所以在中國做人的全球大學排名中能夠突圍而出。上海交大所做的2016-17年的全球大學排名，柏克萊就高居第三。柏克萊是公校，資源難與擁有數百億元校產的私校哈佛和史丹福特相比。奇就奇在這裡，在美新的全球排名中，竟有五所加大分校進入前24名，包括：柏克萊第4、洛杉磯加大第10，聖地牙哥加大15，舊金山加大16，聖他芭芭拉加大第24。為什麼會如此？因為這些學校的聲譽都很高，例如柏克萊全球聲譽排第5，洛杉磯加大全球聲譽第8。
加州總共有七所大學進入前24名，除了五所加大，還有史丹福和加州理工；全球前24名大學中，差不多三分一都在加州，可見加州文化極受全球歡迎。加州的學校為什麼受歡迎？因為加州代表了21世紀的科技文化。美新的全球大學的前兩名，是新英格蘭的哈佛和麻省理工；第三和第四則是與矽谷有關的史丹福和柏克萊。新英格蘭是美國文化發源地區，而矽谷則是21 世紀科技文化的新興地區。文化西移和科技革命，是導致史丹福和柏克萊崛起的原因。20年前，很難想像史丹福和柏克萊會被選為全球最佳大學的前五名，更難想像五所加大分校可以進入全球最佳大學的前24名。現在卻可以，是因為21世紀的資訊革命，而史丹福、柏克萊、加州理工和其他加大分校都代表了21世紀的加州科技。
去年「普林斯頓評論」做了一項極有象徵意義的「夢想大學」排名；結果，以畢業生創業而著名的史丹福鰲頭獨占，擊敗哈佛，成為家長和學生心目中的夢想大學第一名。21世紀的科技潮流正方興未艾，聲譽最佳的哈佛，重視全面發展，兼顧人文與科技，但論到電腦科學和創業課程，卻比史丹福稍遜一籌。這是為什麼估計，不久之後史丹福的全球排名，將會超越哈佛的原因。 |

评论：菲律宾总统 杜特地访华演讲： 我谨此宣布，脱离与美国的联系 |
|

菲律賓為何敢打美國臉？
菲律賓總統杜特蒂「遠美親中」，給即將卸任的歐巴馬總統，以及他的「亞太再平衡」戰略，狠甩重重耳光。菲律賓這張骨牌倒了，美國須防越南、泰國、馬來西亞、緬甸等跟進，徹底葬送華府在亞洲的外交努力。杜特蒂為甚麼敢打美國和歐巴馬的臉？他個人自小目睹美國殖民菲律賓，凌虐屠殺的惡劣記憶，美國拒發他簽證的舊怨，華府駐菲大使和歐巴馬、國務院譴責他法外掃毒的新仇，加上菲律賓需要錢、需要繁榮，美國無法提供援助，綜合結果就是現在美中菲三邊關係。
杜特蒂說，美國沒錢了，中國有錢。有實例為證：美國每年提供菲律賓軍事援助，每年僅5000萬美元，2015年提高到7900萬美元。美菲聯合演習，菲軍可使用美國武器，但演習結束就收回。美國窮了還有實例，喜萊莉任國務卿時第一次訪緬甸，僅提供120萬美元援助，指定用於社會改革，緬甸舉國上下本來期待數十億美元，兩者落差太大。但看中國，習近平、李克強出訪，動輒簽數十億美元經援、投資或貸款給周邊「小朋友」。中國近、美國遠；中國富、美國窮，先天上美國已吃大虧。但華府還要人家當馬前卒，要人家瘦著肚皮，配合美國牽制有如富豪的中國。結果得罪中國，拿不到投資和援助，誰會篤信維護民主自由等價值，跟著美日跑？
所以杜特蒂個人信念、現實利害，公與私、舊怨加新仇，造就今天美國的不堪局面。歐巴馬八年努力，號稱「太平洋總統」，如今「亞太再平衡」反倒像建在沙灘上的大廈，菲律賓抽掉第一根地基，東亞國家如跟進，美國的亞太政策可能全盤傾覆，讓中國坐收漁利。有人形容菲律賓在「賣身」。但小國依附大國，從自身利益出發很正常。菲律賓只有地緣戰略位置值錢，它的海空軍基地是美國在南海不能少的依靠，美菲聯合巡弋南海，只是假象。菲律賓海軍有120艘近海巡邏艇，兩艘像樣的二手老爺軍艦；空軍沒有戰鬥機，連海巡船都靠日本贈送。嚴格說，除了靠美軍，菲國只有陸戰隊稍像樣，沒有現代化戰力。
杜特蒂這回「反利用」美國當槓桿，向中國討糖吃，想從中國獲取貸款、投資、貿易、觀光，繁榮經濟，鞏固連任。軍事和外交上，菲律賓想拋棄美國，很難想像。即使杜某想向中國投懷送抱，但北京謹慎應對，怕賠了夫人又折兵，他日讓國際訕笑。菲國軍方高級將領，多數是美國西點軍校畢業，親美意識根深柢固；菲國地方勢力被數十個家族壟斷，親美力量也強大，兩者隨時可讓杜特蒂「翻船」。美國將如何「收拾」杜特蒂，國際間等著看。杜某揚言CIA要暗殺他，是打預防針。華府如不能有效制約馬尼拉，將威望掃地。有人提及軍事政變、顏色革命，但等待杜特蒂四年任期屆滿，反而是較可行的選項。柯林頓如上台，增加了一個爛攤子，等著她收拾。
