This Sunday we will discuss "Multiple Sclerosis." First described in 1868 it has a prevalence between 2 and 150 per 100,000. The cause remains unknown. Should be fun.

Update on the 2011 MARCO Annual Meeting

The following news was received from MARCO's President, Linda Krasowski KE5BQK today:

We will have our meeting Friday morning at 9:00 AM at the hangar where Bernie's plane lives. Hopefully, the plane will be in residence that morning. There will be a selection of food including fruit, burritos, tamales and other stuff to eat plus coffee and juices.

Friday afternoon I have set up a 45 minute tour of our inland desalinization plant, the only one I think that exists.We re working on a list of other things to do/see. Depending on the weather, we could go on up the tramway to the mountain top and see out into the wild blue yonder of Mexico, New Mexico and Texas. More on this later.

I have made the arrangements for the banquet to be held at Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch in Fabens, TX. It is out in the desert about 15 miles, just off the freeway, and is a famous place. We will have a private room that has great views of the sunset. The place sits on a small hill so the view is very nice. They feed the wild coyotes the meat scraps every night and maybe we will see them eating. They also have a bunch of birds and animals to look at if anyone wants to wander around before dinner.

I have been in touch with the Public Affairs person at the Border Patrol and he has agreed to speak at our banquet. I think it will be interesting.

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 9, 2011

From Warren KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will discuss "Mobile Health Screeners" are they worth while? They can do $2000 worth of hospital tests for $139 ! Is this a pipe-dream? And without a prescription! But you cannot use insurance, you must pay cash.

Should be a fun topic as it is beginning to spread internationally.
