Awards are a highlight of the profession, yet the total “stage time” continues to shrink to insignificance. We seek to celebrate accomplishment on an annual basis, and toward that end your presence at this special award symposia is sought. A good turnout
will help us convince IFT that this is a winner for our winners. Please visit room N208 Wednesday morning and be sure to get scanned as a vote of support. See you there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ancient times individuals yearning a prediction of the future would journey to the divinely inspired oracle located at Delphi in Greece. Unfortunately ancient oracles are gone and yet we still seek to know the future. So now we turn to our oracle-leaders
who must see into the distant corners of our global village. They must sort through the endless array of national and international signals (scientific referred journals, government documents, books of all types, trade magazines, the Wall Street Journal,
CNN, BBC, NPR, YouTube, podcasts, social media, National Enquirer, hallway chatter) validate them, and internalize the essential data.
