Certificate Program in Pediatric Bioethics
NOTE: While the website says the deadline is past, the program coordinators have told us that they are still accepting applications until they reach their limit, and there are less than 10 spots remaining for the 2015-2016 cohort.
Children's Mercy Bioethics Center in Kansas City is now accepting applications for the 2015-2016 Certificate Program in Pediatric Bioethics. The program begins in Kansas City September 10-12, 2015.
The Children's Mercy Center for Bioethics Certificate Program is a nine-month program taught by faculty from the Children's Mercy Hospital and the University of Missouri – Kansas City. It is the only ethics program in the United States that focuses exclusively on pediatrics. The program is designed to help clinicians understand common pediatric bioethical issues.
Our first four classes included doctors, nurses, chaplains, social workers, health care administrators and policy makers from the U.S., Canada, India, Malawi, Mexico, and Norway. "We want to train teachers who can go back to their home institutions and help others become better clinicians," says John Lantos, MD, the Director of the Children's Mercy Bioethics Center.
The Certificate Program runs from September to May. It begins and ends with an intensive weekend on-site in Kansas City, Mo. For the rest of the year, students and faculty meet on-line to discuss carefully selected readings and participate in monthly webinars with internationally known speakers. Each student works with faculty mentors to prepare a project related to pediatric practice.
The program covers a number of key topic areas in pediatric bioethics, including the role of ethics committees, practical techniques in ethics consultation, futility and moral distress, end-of-life decisions, pediatric palliative care, research ethics, biobanking and genetics, enhancement, issues in adolescent medicine, and immunization controversies. The students read and analyze works of literature, legal cases, and articles from medical and bioethics journals.
We will consider applications and make decisions about acceptance as they are received. A brief description of the program including tuition, travel and accommodations, and an application can be found here. We hope you will consider participating in our program in 2015-2016. Please contact us at email@example.com with any questions.

I agree, the so called Son Of Good is afraid.

. Sugar Ray Robinson & Muhammad Ali did So called "Bum of the month tours" Which prooved massive ca$h generators + gave them leganday status, while the fact that Jack Johnson travelled the World to cement his name in stone as did Bob Fitzsimmons & laterlly Brian Mitchell & Glen Johnson will never fade from history. So who are the next travelling legends? Andre Ward? "I think not"!Posted December 10, 2012 8:09 pm
Mick the Marmalizer
Hopefully Magee got a good payday & can retire in comfort, he's been a good ambassidor for the UK & the Sport. He could give Kenny Anderson a run for his money, but I wouldn't want to see him as Groves cannon fodder. Anon: Yes give it 12-18 months & Groves + Oosthuizen & DeGale will be right in the mix 100%, which should fit in well with Froch, Bute & Kessler's retirements. Regarding Andre Ward fighting outside of the USA, you'd stand more chance of seeing Lennox Lewis making a comeback @ flyweight!Posted December 10, 2012 6:13 am
Like we never thought the fight would go any other way…..Posted December 10, 2012 5:45 am
Magee's hopping on a bit now, but could still give Kenny Anderson & George Groves a good work out. As for Kessler, Christov's hit the nail on the head & it has to be Froch in the UK or Ward in Denmark. Abraham could be another option allthough the WBO title would be meaningless. I personally can't wait for another year or so when the likes of George Groves & Thomas Oosthuizen have matured & enter the equation.Posted December 10, 2012 5:22 am
Time for Kessler to up the opponent level. McGee is a solid euro-level fighter but not one of the top 10 168 at world level.Posted December 10, 2012 4:51 am
Magee who I always respected as a good solid fighter…but has now reached the end of his rope.But Froch and Ward will still beat Kessler if he fights them next.And yes Ward is the best SMW. at this time…no doubt.Posted December 9, 2012 6:23 pm
Andre Fraud will never travel to europe where he would be subject to fair refereeing. I wouldn't either, if I were him.Posted December 9, 2012 5:40 pm
Very interesting, very interesting. Kessler blows out a paper champ and now thinks he can rule the SMW division. Sorry, but I'm afraid he's deluding himself. Either Ward or Froch beats him in a rematch, particularly the man known as: 'Sea of Green'Posted December 9, 2012 3:57 pm
look for soggy to duck kesslerPosted December 9, 2012 3:45 pm
There are some very good super-middleweight matchups involving Kessler that could be made in 2013: Kessler-Froch II, Kessler-Groves, and Kessler-Ward II.Posted December 9, 2012 3:32 pm
Teddy E
Kessler is back! ready or not you can't hide Ward…. Kessler will beat Froch again.Posted December 9, 2012 1:51 pm
No surprise.Now Kessler needs to fight Froch in Nottingham,or Ward needs to buy a world atlas,figure out where Denmark is and go fight Kessler in his backyard,returning the favour…but B A Baracus,sorry,i mean Ward won't do that…"aint gettin on no plain,fool…"Posted December 9, 2012 11:15 am

Hampton Inn Washington
Hampton Inn Washington
Hotel Guest Rating: 8.7/10
119 Murtland Avenue
Washington, PA 15301
Welcome to the Hampton Inn Washington
Close to activities for the whole family, Hampton Inn is a stone's throw from the tree-lined streets of historic Washington. This hotel piles on the freebies: buffet breakfasts, Wi-Fi and parking, for starters.
Hotel Features
The four-story hotel's 111 non-smoking rooms have free Wi-Fi, so you're always connected to the folks back home. Get down to business in your room's well-lighted workspace, or relax in an easy chair with your laptop on the convenient lap desk. Catch up with the latest news or watch a movie on the flat-panel TV. The breakfast buffet, served downstairs in the cheerful breakfast room, is a cut above the rest, with hot items ranging from scrambled eggs to French toast sticks. A long communal table gives you a chance to chat with fellow guests. The staff is also happy to pack you a bagful of breakfast treats if you need to get on the road early.
Hotel Location
Near the intersection of I-90 and I-97, the Hampton Inn is near all of Washington's attractions. The David Bradford House, home of the leader of the 1794 Whiskey Insurrection, is a five-minute drive, as is the LeMoyne House, a stop on the Underground Railroad. A 10-minute drive north is the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, where kids can climb aboard 45 restored streetcars. The Tanger Outlet Center, with 60 shops for bargain-hunters, is also about 10 minutes away. Pittsburgh International Airport is 30 miles north.
Guest Favorites
A location near downtown Washington is this hotel's top draw, but comfortable rooms and lots of extras add to the appeal.

The hotel is undergoing outside cosmetic and roof upgrades. I knew this when I booked the room and there was a sign posted upon entering the hotel. The construction hours were 8 am to 5 pm. We arrived at 4 pm and work was completed for the day. The hotel lobby was welcoming and there was popcorn, coffee, tea and fresh fruit on the table. There were cookies placed out late evening. The room was clean. No problems connecting to the WiFi. Daughter complained the pool had too much chlorine but she wore goggles and all was good. While the hotel cost more than what I wanted to spend. It was the cheapest I could find offering pool and free breakfast. It is conveniently close to major restaurant chains as well as local establishments. We would consider staying here again if in the Washington area in the future. ...

Now that we know how to get input from the user and store it into variables and since we know how to do some basic math, we can now write our first useful program!
1 import java.util.Scanner; 2 3 public class BMICalculator 4 { 5 public static void main( String[] args ) 6 { 7 Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); 8 double m, kg, bmi; 9 10 System.out.print( "Your height in m: " ); 11 m = keyboard.nextDouble(); 12 13 System.out.print( "Your weight in kg: " ); 14 kg = keyboard.nextDouble(); 15 16 bmi = kg / (m*m); 17 18 System.out.println( "Your BMI is " + bmi ); 19 } 20 }
Your height in m: 1.75 Your weight in kg: 73 Your BMI is 23.836734693877553
This exercise is (hopefully) pretty straightforward. We have three variables (all doubles): m (meters), kg (kilograms) and bmi (body mass index). We read in values for m and kg, but bmi's value comes not from the human but as the result of a calculation. On line 16 we compute the mass divided by the square of the height and store the result into bmi. And then we print it out.
The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used by health and nutrition professionals to estimate human body fat in populations. So this result would be informative for a health professional. For now that's all we can do with it.
Eventually we will learn how to display a different message on the screen depending on what the BMI equals, but for now this will have to do.
A pretty easy assignment for today, but I have some challenges for you in the Study Drills that should make things a bit tougher.
Your height in inches: 69 Your weight in pounds: 160 Your BMI is 23.625289
Your height (feet only): 5 Your height (inches): 9 Your weight in pounds: 160 Your BMI is 23.625289

1998 Nissan Sentra • 300,000 miles
Last evening as I was turning the corner if front of my apartment the passeger side window drop downed to about half way. I pulled up in front of the apartment and got out and looked and I could raise and lower the window glass by hand but it wouldn't stay in any one position. They were calling for heavy snow mixed with sleet and I didn't want to leave the window open at any height so I managed to wedge in place. Do you have any ideas as to what happened and how easily can this be fixed? As I said it's a 1998 Nissan Sentra Xe with 300000 miles on it and I don't want o spend any great deal of money on it at this stage. Any suggestions?
December 26, 2012.
December 26, 2012.
The door glass regulator is bad and you need to replace it to resolve the problem. If you don't ewant to use the window, you can use something to hold it up from within the door panel.

405 apartments for rent near Tully, NY
Apartments in Tully, NY
With its famed lakes scattered along the southwest side and state forests to the southeast, Tully's natural resources are plentiful. Rent an apartment in Tully and you may feel as though you are living in a quaint country town, but you'll only be about 18 miles from downtown Syracuse.
First settled in 1795, Tully has a fascinating history that includes how it was named. Tully is part of the Central New York Military Tract – roughly two million acres of land that was used to compensate New York's Revolutionary War soldiers. The responsibility of naming the areas fell to the surveyors. One of the surveyors was a professor at Kings College. Being a classical scholar, he named the areas he surveyed after famous Romans and Greeks. When he arrived to present-day Tully, he chose the famous figure Marcus Tullius Cicero as the inspiration for the town's name.
Beautiful Tully Lake Park has been drawing visitors to the area since 1889, when the first hotel and cottage were built. The Tully Lakes are six glacial lakes clustered together. These lakes have long been valued for their natural beauty, and although the hotels are gone, the lakes still draw visitors who enjoy kayaking, canoeing, boating, biking, hiking, and swimming.
The hills and slopes of Tully – ideal for skiing – make a beautiful setting for your next apartment. The hillsides hold another fascination: Tully Limestone. This unique limestone holds fossil species that can't be found anywhere else in the country. Nearby Heilberg Memorial Forest, which is owned by the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, serves as an outdoor classroom and experimental station. Visitors are allowed to visit the forest and enjoy the unmarked hiking trails and fish-stocked ponds.

When the residents of Budrus learn that the Israeli army plans to build the Separation Barrier through their town, cutting them off from neighboring Palestinian villages and uprooting their precious olive groves, they decide to organize. Under the leadership of Ayed Morrar, Palestinian men of all political factions come together to wage an unarmed struggle to preserve their lands. Victory seems unlikely until Ayed's 15-year-old daughter steps in to organize a female contingent that brings the women of Budrus to the front lines in a tense stand-off with the military.
As word of the nonviolent protest spreads, Israeli citizens, international activists and Palestinians from other villages join the people of Budrus to demand that the Barrier be moved. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known movement that is still gaining ground today. Featuring interviews with unarmed demonstrators, Israeli soldiers and the citizens of Budrus, this harrowing, action-filled, and ultimately inspiring documentary has given hope to audiences around the world with its story of the ground-breaking nonviolent movement spreading across the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Distributive Politics and the Costs of Centralization
This paper studies the choice between centralization and decentralization of fiscal policy in a political economy setting. With centralization, regional delegates vote over agendas comprising sets of region-specific projects. The outcome is inefficient because the choice of projects is insufficiently sensitive to within-region benefits. The number of projects funded may be non-monotonic in the strength of project externalities. The efficiency gains from decentralization, and the performance of "constitutional rules" (such as majority voting) which may be used to choose between decentralization and centralization, are then discussed in this framework. Weaker externalities and more heterogeneity between regions need not increase the efficiency gain from decentralization. Copyright 2002 by The Review of Economic Studies Limited

VANCOUVER -- Coaching in two playoff series' over the last three springs against the Anaheim Ducks gave Mike Babcock a good idea of what to expect from Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
When the Ducks' duo wasn't delivering on that promise earlier in these Olympics, Canada's coach emphatically delivered a message to them.
"I just said to both of them that we've had some wars with Anaheim over the last three years and every night we played them, those guys came to play and they were big-time warriors," Babcock said. "I expect the same here."
He got that kind of performance Wednesday night in Canada's 7-3 win over Russia.
Perry scored twice and Getzlaf had a goal and a pair of assists. Brenden Morrow was added as the left wing on their line, and he also scored a goal. The trio combined for six points, a plus-6 rating and 10 shots on goal. They were every bit as effective as Babcock had hoped they would be for every game in the tournament.
"He talked to us a little bit and wanted more of us, and we knew we had more to give," Perry said. "We knew we had to come out and have a big game to put confidence back in him that we belong here and we can play at this level. I think we did that and hopefully we continue to do that."
Babcock's main message to Perry and Getzlaf was simple: Move your feet and use your size to create space and scoring chances.
He didn't think they did that enough in the first four games, when Perry and Getzlaf scored just once each. They were quick and powerful Wednesday.
Getzlaf scored Canada's first goal by driving to the net before finishing off a nice feed from Dan Boyle, who made a great end-to-end rush. Morrow did what he does best, grind behind the net, to help himself to a goal late in the first period.
Perry and Getzlaf combined for a shot, rebound and then early in the second, and Perry finished off a 3-on-2 with Eric Staal and Getzlaf at the halfway point of the game to give Canada a 7-2 lead.
"They were really good," Team Canada Executive Director Steve Yzerman told NHL.com. "They are big, strong guys with skill. Brenden going in there on the line, he's a straight up and down guy who is hard in the corners, hard on the wall and forechecks well. It worked for a game -- they played well."
It's interesting that Yzerman said "it worked for a game." That makes you think Babcock is going to switch things up for Friday's showdown against Slovakia.
It wouldn't be out of character, considering he's made line changes before and during every game -- save for Wednesday's against Russia, when there was no need to alter anything.
However, Babcock hinted Thursday that the lines will stay intact, mainly because Getzlaf, Perry and Morrow played well together and the line of Jonathan Toews, Mike Richards and Rick Nash was arguably Canada's best against the Russians.
The other lines held true from the Germany game on Tuesday: Sidney Crosby with Jarome Iginla and Eric Staal, and Joe Thornton with San Jose teammates Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau. Patrice Bergeron was the 13th forward and one of Canada's lead penalty-killers.
"I told the coaches that I looked at my book and on Nov. 17 those were my lines," Babcock said. "We finally got back to that. It's just one of those things we didn't think it was the right combination to start Game 1. We went to that against Germany in the third period. We felt that the Toews, Richards and Nash line was very effective for us, had the most scoring chances for our team."
Perry, Getzlaf and Morrow were finally a close second.
"We hadn't played the way we wanted to and we knew we had to play a big game," Perry said. "It was our biggest game yet and they're just going to get bigger. Anybody can step up and it just happened to be a couple of guys on our line that did."

Whether you're pitching a book to a literary agent, trying to lure readers to dig into their pockets and buy your book, or hoping to impress an editor, the first line of your novel counts. Big time.
Ever shake someone's hand only to discover they've got cold skin, sweaty palms, and a grip like a turnip? A weak first line has the same effect.
But what is a good first line? The Review Board at Writer's Relief reads many first lines when we have a call for submissions. Some first lines catch us more than others. A good first line will often multitask, accomplishing many things all at once. A first line can:
• Establish tone
• Hint at conflict or theme
• Lure with the promise of some reward (reward meaning: the emotional reward of reading the book)
• Cause an instant emotional reaction, connection to character, and/or fascination with scene
Some first lines are so intense and effective that they go down in history as household phrases ("Call me Ishmael," anyone?).
Look at the great first sentences in the slideshow below. The moral of the story is that the first line of your novel must be a good one, and it has to knock readers over, including literary agents and book editors.
That said, here's our caution: Don't overthink it. You shouldn't need to force an opening line when you're composing it. Trust those deeper, animal parts of your brain to do the hard work of creating it.
If the line you come up with doesn't feel natural, then it's probably not the right opening line for your book. So be patient with yourself and know that some writers don't come up with a good opening line until they've written the last line.
For more on writing and publishing, visit our website at www.WritersRelief.com. Writer's Relief helps creative writers research, target, and submit their work to literary agents and editors. Clients by invitation only. Review Board is currently open for submissions but will soon close, then put out another call in two to four months.
"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself." If this line were in the middle of "Mrs. Dalloway," it might not be especially memorable. But to choose this as a first line, Woolf is setting up her book beautifully. Here are a few of the things we learn from this first line: • This book will only appear to be simple and straightforward. • Mrs. Dalloway probably does not regularly buy the flowers herself, and so something special is going on. • Mrs. Dalloway must state to someone that she is buying the flowers--is she excusing her actions? Her deviation from her usual course? • There is a sense of fate lurking here in the small act of buying flowers, a sense that something significant may or may not happen at any given moment. Hard not to love that! For those of you who feel that Woolf's stories are what contemporary editors might refer to as a bit too "quiet" for mainstream audiences, let's look at another classic...
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." We simply couldn't do an article about great first lines without this one. Austen's first line is remarkable, memorable, and alluring for many reasons. Again, her first line multitasks: • It taps into (and suggests to us) the social values of her time. • It hints at a love story--and, dare we say it, sex. • It hints at conflict; already there are glimmers of clashes between the sexes and the factions of moneyed classes. • It hints at comedy. The tone is ever so slightly sarcastic. This is going to be a story of schemes and intrigue that will probably lead to love. So we can see how writers of yore were casting a spell over their readers with their first lines. But what about modern writers? Do the opening strategies of yesteryear still hold true today? Let's look at this well-known line:
"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." Whether or not you're a Harry Potter fan, you can see the allure of a line like this one, right? Clearly, we're not looking at normal people (normal people don't need to assert, so very firmly, that they are normal). From this line, we get a sense of humor and whimsy, as well as the first hints that there will be conflict with the Dursleys. It's a powerful line. And another modern classic:
"Behavioral science, the FBI section that deals with serial murder, is on the bottom floor of the academy building at Quantico, half-buried in the earth." This line is awesome. Here's what we can tell we're in for from this first line: • Emphasis on fact and science, a very real-life feel to the story • Unemotional description on the surface, but already there are rumbles of a coming storm • A cold, sterile, and somewhat secret (underground) location--this establishes mood • Serial killers (duh!) • A certain feeling of uncelebrated heroism for those people whose office is "half-buried in the earth"

Libyan Rebels Seek Cease-Fire as U.S. Vows to Withdraw Jets
Libyan rebels called for a cease-fire as forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi drove them back for a third day after sandstorms and clouds hindered NATO air strikes and the U.S. said it would withdraw all warplanes.
Qaddafi's fighters must retreat from cities and nearby areas for any cease-fire deal, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, head of the rebel Interim National Council, said in a news conference televised today from the insurgent stronghold of Benghazi. He said rebel demands for freedoms must also be met. There was no immediate response to the offer from Qaddafi officials.
A Libyan official said Qaddafi's regime was trying to hold discussions with the U.S., France and Britain to find an end to the conflict, the Associated Press reported.
"We are trying to talk to the British, the French and the Americans to stop the killing of people. We are trying to find a mutual solution," Abdul-Ati al-Obeidi, a former Libyan prime minister, told British television, AP said.
Mohammed Ismail, an aide to one of Qaddafi's sons, has held talks with British authorities in London in recent days, the New York Times reported, citing an unidentified friend of the aide. Ismail planned to return to Tripoli after the talks.
U.S. Jets
The rebels' call for a cease-fire comes one day after Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. jets won't be flying with NATO forces over Libya after April 2. Mullen said planes would be made available only if requested by NATO. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told Congress the U.S. will "significantly ramp down our commitment" to Libya except for electronic warfare, aerial refueling and surveillance.
Rebels have retreated as Qaddafi's troops regained the initiative after almost two weeks of allied air strikes against them. This week's recapture of the oil port of Ras Lanuf by Qaddafi forces underscored the military weakness of his opponents. Intensive fighting continues around another oil port, Brega, Sky News television reported, adding that rebel and government lines are keeping out of range of each other's weapons and are 10 to 20 kilometers (16 to 32 miles) apart.
Libyan rebels have appointed the nation's former interior minister, Abdel Fattah Younis, as the head of the rebellion's military efforts, Al Jazeera reported today, without saying how it obtained the information.
'Can't See the Targets'
Mullen said poor weather over the past three days in Libya meant pilots "can't get on the targets; they can't see the targets." Sky News said its reporters in Libya hadn't seen any alliance air strikes near the front lines for 3 1/2 days.
Al-Jazeera reported today that allied warplanes bombed targets in Brega.
An agreement for Qatar to market oil from territory held by Libyan rebels covers crude from the country's southeast and excludes the areas of Brega and Ras Lanuf, Ali Tarhuni, member of the rebel council responsible for oil and economics, said today in a press conference in Benghazi.
Crude oil fluctuated after climbing to a 30-month high in New York. Futures rose above $107 a barrel for the first time since 2008. Crude oil for May delivery rose 92 cents to $107.64 a barrel at 1:14 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil is up 26 percent from a year ago.
Jan Techau, director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Brussels and a former analyst at the NATO Defense College, said the rebel withdrawal means the allies must expand assistance to opposition groups.
'Allied Ground Forces'
"I don't know if this is a precursor for allied ground forces, but we are clearly going to see stepped-up aid," Techau said in a telephone interview.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said in a statement it has 205 alliance jets and 21 naval vessels involved in the Libya operation.
There was heavy fighting today in the western city of Misrata, residents said.
"A number of tank shells were fired at the port area of the city in the afternoon and the rebels inside responded to the attacks," Reda Almountasser said in the telephone interview from the city, whose residents rose up against Qaddafi and have defied efforts by his forces to regain control.
Hospitals in Misrata are "reportedly overflowing with severely injured patients," Doctors Without Borders said in an e-mailed statement.
Rebel leader Abdel Jalil said opposition forces would request arms deliveries if Qaddafi loyalists continue to attack.
"Our aim for a cease-fire is primarily to end Libyan bloodshed, but the Qaddafi regime will have to leave," he said. "We're confident of our forces and resolve to unseat Qaddafi's regime."
Arms for Rebels
U.S. political and military leaders said yesterday they're unwilling to start providing arms and training for rebels fighting against Qaddafi. Mullen said there are "plenty of countries who have the ability, the arms, the skill set to be able to do this." Gates said the U.S. doesn't know enough about the insurgent groups beyond a "handful" of leaders.
The conflict in Libya, which began as a wave of anti-government protests similar to those in Egypt and Tunisia, escalated into armed conflict as the country's army split and some soldiers joined the rebels.
U.K. and U.S. officials say the defection of Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa on March 30 is evidence Qaddafi's regime is in disarray.
Libyan Defections
While dozens of Libyan diplomats have quit since the uprising against Qaddafi began, Koussa is one of the most senior officials to flee. Libya's former deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Ibrahim Dabbashi, said more diplomats and senior-ranking Libyans are likely to defect from the Qaddafi regime "within days," Sky News reported, adding that as many as 10 top Libyan officials may abandon the regime.
Gates said he envisions several end-game scenarios involving Qaddafi.
"One is that a member of his own family kills him, or one of his inner circle kills him, or the military fractures, or the opposition, with the degradation of Qaddafi's military capabilities, rise up again," Gates said.
Qaddafi said Western air strikes could lead to a war between Christians and Muslims that could spiral out of control, Sky News reported, citing a statement by the Libyan leader broadcast by state television.
