Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in some population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 in a population of 100,000 would mean 950 deaths per year in that entire population. It is distinct from morbidity rate, which refers to the number of individuals in poor health during a given time period (the prevalence rate) or the number who currently have that disease (the incidence rate), scaled to the size of the population.
One distinguishes:
In regard to the success or failure of medical treatment or procedures, one would also distinguish:
Note that the crude death rate as defined above and applied to a whole population can give a misleading impression. The crude death rate depends on the age (and gender) specific mortality rates and the age (and gender) distribution of the population. The number of deaths per 1000 people can be higher for developed nations than in less-developed countries, despite life expectancy being higher in developed countries due to standards of health being better. This happens because developed countries typically have a completely different population age distribution, with a much higher proportion of older people, due to both lower recent birth rates and lower mortality rates. A more complete picture of mortality is given by a life table which shows the mortality rate separately for each age. A life table is necessary to give a good estimate of life expectancy.

5.0 stars 11 totalReview Eric Laubacher
Posted by Radan
I just want to thank Eric and Laubacher Company for all the hard work they have done and continue to do on my LONG cases. A victory as the one he has conquered in the ** case and an other coming soon extraordinary triumph in the ** case, was something that I have never dreamed of that was going to happen in my life, and a very scary scenario for me before Eric has accepted the leadership in these cases.
Until I knew about the existence of Laubacher firm, these cases were very frightening after so many situation when I had felt defeated. It has been emotionally stressful before I even could find an authentic leader. Because they took me by the hand and led me through it all. I am so grateful to Eric and each and everyone from Laubacher firm for where I am now – I'm on the other side! The side that I could never be without a Champion's Lead. Thank you again!
Posted by EB
Mr. Laubacher worked with us for nearly two years on a complicated divorce case, where the opposing team did everything they could to obfuscate matters. Through tireless diligence, Mr. Laubacher found ways to clarify and uncover matters critical to the case. His insightful and thoughtful approach combined with honesty, clarity, and complete knowledge of family law, makes Mr. Laubacher an outstanding lawyer and one of the finest people I have ever met. Mr. Laubacher's employees and support staff are amazingly caring, courteous, and wonderful. When you enter the office, it feels like you are visiting family. I recommend Mr. Laubacher without reservation for any kind of a divorce case. He has proven that no matter how well hidden the truth is, he will do everything he can to find a way to shed light on it and complete a very complicated divorce case with utmost integrity and honor, with excellent results.

I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Laubacher for the last year. He is kind, understanding, very knowledgeable and trushworthy. He was able to help me resolve issues with my shared parenting plan. I would definately recommend him to others!
Posted by JB
I am writing a review to let you know that the Laubacher office is full of professionalism, knowledge and empathy for their clients. I recently needed legal aide and I was completely satisfied with the service I received. Eric himself goes out of his way to make sure you understand procedures, legal matters and all that is needed to make you as comfortable as possible. He is willing to meet you at a convenient time and place. The firm kept me informed of all that was necessary.
This is a 5 star lawyer who will work hard to get positive results.

Mr. Laubacher and his firm represented me through a criminal case and a divorce case. Eric represented me throughout with dignity and integrity. He was honest in his assessments of both cases, explaining clearly the possibilities, options and processes. Eric was forceful with opposing counsel when the situation dictated, but never got involved in any silliness or theatrics. He represented my position based on facts with a thorough understanding of the law. Both cases worked out the way Mr. Laubacher and I had hoped and precisely as he communicated to me during our initial consultation. I found Eric to be smart, punctual, detailed and genuinely likable. He was always prepared and considerate of cost, never engaging in any actions that would be financially wasteful. These qualities are reflected in his associates and wonderful staff as well. Eric and his firm were a pleasure to work with and are highly recommended.

Laubacher and Company represented me in a divorce in 2011/2012. They came highly recommended to me and now I know why. At the onset the process, facts and details regarding the divorce process were explained to me. Everything I was told was spot-on, honest and factual ! Laubacker and Company made the best out of an unpleasant situation.

I used Mr. Laubacher for my dissolution and then child custody issues. He has always been very open with my options and understanding of what I'm going through. After hearing horror stories from friends of their experiences, I was pleasantly surprised when my court appearance went as planned and without delays. His entire staff was both kind and professional. Mr. Laubacher always returned my phone calls or e-mails promptly. He made me feel like he deeply cared about my situation and I wasn't just another file. I recommend Mr. Laubacher to anyone who asks.

My sister's and I hired Eric to handle a variety of Family Law matters. We had lost both of our parents and needed direction in handling our families estate. Our situation was very unique and Eric provided guidance and support at every level. Due to Eric's dedication and knowledge of dealing with all areas of law, my sister's and I have a secure future. Eric is very honest and provides his clients with the facts and details necessary to make confident decisions. I have referred Eric to several friends that have used his services and are all very thankful I shared my experience. I would recommend Laubacher & Co. to any individual who is searching for a dedicated, hard working and honest attorney.

I would highly recommend Eric for any and all domestic matters. Eric is very knowledgeable and well respected in his field.
Posted by Mary
Eric is an amazing lawyer! He was there for every question; every concern, every time I needed something he was there. Very knowledgeable on every possible level. Eric was professional, yet was able to talk to me and not at me. Very worth every penny spent, and I was not over charged. I will and do recommend Eric all the time. I stopped by the office the other day just to say hi, I knew he was busy, you could tell, but he stopped and acknowledged me by name and asked how I was! Again Eric and his staff, Far, Jennifer & Connie are just down right awesome! Thanks Eric!

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Sept. 29 released an updated EEO-1 reporting form, which will require covered employers to provide employee pay data beginning in March 2018.
Federal contractors are likely to make the administratively easiest choices to comply with the Department of Labor's final paid sick leave rule, issued Sept. 29.
In a pair of precedent-setting decisions, Ontario's Court of Appeal has awarded terminated employees bonuses they would have otherwise earned had they not been terminated. These decisions will come as a surprise to U.S.-based employers. Indeed, they run contrary to the practice of many, if not most, Canadian employers, which is not to award bonuses to employees who have been terminated. However, these cases should cause employers in Canada to reconsider how they treat prospective bonus payments to employees who have been terminated, as well as to consider how liability for such payments can be avoided. In both cases, the former employees participated in bonus and incentive plans that had conditions which appeared to disqualify them from receiving any bonus payments following termination of their employment. In Paquette v. TeraGo Networks Inc., the bonus plan stated that the employee must be "actively employed" on the date of payout to receive the bonus. In Li
HR professionals who master the art of coaching can help guide those employees through a difficult time to find new meaning and enthusiasm for their work. While managing involves directing someone to do something with a specific outcome in mind, coaching is about guiding the individual to discover or clarify for herself what she wants to achieve.

Yesterday, DaVita Inc.'s (DVA) subsidiary – Paladina Health LLC – announced the acquisition of ModernMed, which operates business-based clinics and physician practices in 12 states across the US. However, the terms of the transaction remained undisclosed. ModernMed's extraordinary network of providers coupled with a history of excellent care are expected to blend well with Paladina and DaVita's long-term strategy of growth through meaningful acquisitions. Moreover, now that the uncertainties related to the bundling rule and the capital markets have eased, more acquisitions were probable. Based on this view, in November last year, DaVita's wholly-owned subsidiary DV Care GmbH acquired ExtraCorp in Germany, in order to expand its dialysis services. DaVita is also seeking international pastures to expand its healthcare service portfolio. The company has been looking for acquisition and partnership opportunities in all major European and Asian countries over the past year. Simultaneously, DaVita is also looking at domestic acquisitions. In September 2011, the company completed the acquisition of its competitor DSI Renal Inc. Additionally, such strong inorganic growth also aids DaVita by providing competitive advantage to the company against arch-rivals such as Gentiva Health Services Inc. (GTIV) and Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX).Estimate Trend Revision DaVita reported third-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $1.45 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and also modestly surpassing $1.15 per share recorded in the year-ago quarter. Net operating income increased 15.6% year over year to $138.2 million. Higher top line was partially offset by higher expenses. Currently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is operating earnings of $1.48 per share, which would be up by about 31% from the year-ago quarter. Over the last 30 days, none of the 12 analysts covering the stock have revised their estimates for the fourth quarter, which further indicates no directional pressure on the performance of the stock in the near term. With respect to earnings surprises, the stock has been almost steady over the last four quarters, with all three positive surprises. The average remained positive at 0.97%. Additionally, DaVita carries a Zacks Rank #2, which translates into a short-term Buy rating and long-term Neutral stance. On Thursday, the shares of DaVita closed at $78.88, up 0.4%, on the New York Stock Exchange. QUEST DIAGNOSTC (DGX): Free Stock Analysis Report To read this article on Zacks.com click here.

My experience with the apartment was very positive. The apartment was comfortable, in very good condition, and well-equipped. I would say it is not extremely spacious, but enough up to 4 people for sleeping. The wifi and all machines worked properly, and we didn't have any issues during our stay. We found very useful the guide we had received before our travel, we could plan our days in advance.The garden was nice, the village is beautiful, tranquil and very well located, near to hiking areas and Bled and Bohinj lakes.
In summary, we received all the information we needed to get there, use the apartment and its equipment properly, find places within and near Mojstrana. Also, the apartment itself was just as described on the webpage, and just like on the photos. We spent a very good time there and we are looking forward to visiting the country again - definitely with the help of the same agency
Esta en un buen sitio, y me parece bien.
Apartment Zelenci is located in a tranquil position with great views and in walking distance to the amenities of the small town of Mojstrana - a charming unspoilt alpine place located in the north-west corner of Slovenia just 14km from Kranjska Gora, one of Slovenia's best known mountain resorts. Mojstrana is full of lovely old alpine buildings and character and offers several excellent restaurants, supermarket and the excellent Slovenian Alpine Museum - all within walking distance of the apartment. Behind the village are three exceptionally beautiful valleys - the Vrata, Kot and Krma which each provide a starting point for trips into the Julian Alps and for climbing Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain and national symbol. The Vrata Valley is the most impressive as it leads to the spectacular North face of Triglav and is also home to the pretty Peri?nik waterfalls.
Generally the area provides for breathtaking scenery and a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature via a myriad of walking trails and other outdoor pursuits both in Winter and Summer. Walking is one of the main Summer attractions with trails to suit all abilities. The pristine Sava Dolinka River runs through Mojstrana and offers scope for excellent fly-fishing as well as walks by the River and a fantastic family bike trail which follows the rivers course all the way into Italy past Kranjska Gora. In Winter Mojstrana offers an excellent local ski piste which is an ideal place for for kids and beginners to learn to ski in a gentle and inexpensive ski area.
For skiing there is also just 10 minutes drive away Kranjska Gora - arguably the most famous mountain resort in Slovenia. It is a superb resort for families and beginner ��� intermediate level skiers and offers a range of other Winter sports in proximity - cross country skiing, sled dog tours, skidoo tours, ice climbing, ski mountaineering & ice skating. With stunning mountain scenery, great access to the Triglav National park and a host of Summer outdoor pursuits it remains very popular all year round. There is also a huge range of mountain biking in the region including a World Cup mountain bike park on the Kranjska Gora ski slopes. There is also a Summer sledging piste on the ski slopes which is very popular with kids. The town of Kranjska Gora itself is a pretty alpine affair, very family friendly, with lots of lively restaurants, bars and a couple of swimming pools / spas.

Spirit Hunger Workbook
By Gari Meacham
ZONDERVANCopyright © 2012 Gari Meacham
All right reserved.
Chapter OneSession One
Have you ever felt a gnawing inside, a tug of emotion that lingers with a sense of emptiness even though life seems full? Sometimes it grabs me at night when my mind finally settles after a full day; other times I wake with it—a hope that today will fulfill my heart's desire for something I can't quite name. This gnawing tug of possibility is our Spirit Hunger, the place inside us that longs to connect with God.
I wandered around for years wondering what that yearning was. Why I could achieve certain goals and still feel empty. Why I could be surrounded by people and still feel alone. Even after falling head over heels in love with my Savior Jesus, that wrenching desire can still overtake me like waves crashing on a rocky beach.
After running from, numbing, ignoring, stuffing, and analyzing this desire till I'm blue in the face, I've come to recognize the hunger pains of my spirit—the way it woos me back to the true filling it desires, an authentic and continual dining with God.
VIDEO TEACHING (19 minutes)
Watch the video. The main points are included here for you. Jot down additional notes if you wish.
The tone in many of the psalms is that of desperation, yet often we find ourselves committed but not desperate.
We long for things that make us uniquely women: nurturing; affirmation; to be noticed and heard—but there is a longing at the core of women's lives that bullies itself in front of all other longings: the longing to be in control.
This need for control came from the first woman, Eve. (Genesis 3:6)
What happened in the garden is referred to as a sin issue, but it was also a control issue.
Control has a muzzle. The muzzle to control is trust.
God taught women trust after their exodus from Egypt. In the wilderness they were only able to gather a day's worth of what they needed to sustain their families. They had to trust that God would provide tomorrow what he had today.
Our spirits long to trust God, not control him.
GROUP DISCUSSION (approx. 25 minutes)
Discuss the following questions related to the video you just watched.
1. What's the difference between a committed Christian and a desperate Christian?
2. Donald Miller, author of the book Blue like Jazz, says "The opposite of love is not hate; it's control." How does this definition change your view of control?
3. How were the events in the Garden of Eden not just a sin issue, but a control issue? (See Genesis 3:6.)
4. Gari mentioned the following descriptions in her list "How to Know If You Have Issues with Control." Can you think of others to add to the list?
Won't let anyone help in the kitchen or around the house, but then complains that if she doesn't do the chores, they won't be done right.
Uses nagging as a tool because if she doesn't nag, people won't budge.
Claims she wants a strong husband who leads, but criticizes when he tries to.
Exhausts herself trying to make everyone happy.
Tells other people how to drive, how to do things, and generally makes all the decisions and choices in the household. decisions and choices in the household.
5. How is trusting God a muzzle to control?
6. If our spirits long to trust God—not control him—how can we let go of control and practice trust?
I've never been a coffee drinker. I know that's one step short of sacrilegious in a country that has a Starbucks on every corner, but a few years ago I found a drink that rivals anything I've ever wanted to suck through a straw—sweet tea. It may sound silly, but when I'm crawling into bed at night I actually get excited to drink a big tea the next day. I don't have many habits; as a matter of fact, God has taken me through some achy times exposing behaviors and compulsions that have teased my heart away from him. Thankfully, the sweet tea seems to be okay.
As I think about my physical longing for sweet tea, I'm reminded of what psychologists have known for centuries: Certain longings are universal to humanity. They begin when we are born and carry through our lives until we take our last breath. Much more important than sweet tea (although I may beg to differ some mornings) is our longing for nurture, attention, and affirmation. We long for filling and purpose; we long for intimacy—to be treasured and valued; and sitting at the top of the list is our longing to authentically connect with God.
Although these sound beautiful, like dainty flowers in a vase, we often have no clue what to do with these longings when they beg for attention they don't receive.
How did things get so messed up? When did the longings in our lives turn to hauntings? Why do these longings get tangled with counterfeit fillings?
I believe the answer to these questions can be found in the very first woman to walk the earth—Eve. I've always heard the story of Adam and Eve referred to as the fall of man, but I'd like to call it the devastation of woman, because what happened that day in the garden changed the face of women's hearts and longings forever.
* Please turn to Genesis 3 and read verses 1-6. Write out verse 6 below.
The Bible says that after Eve ate of the fruit, she gave it to her husband and he ate too. There's no time frame given for how quickly he ate, but I have a hunch it wasn't immediate. The truth is Adam knew better, but I think Eve wore him down. Maybe it went something like this: "Adam, try this fruit that I've eaten; it's great!" If he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, I think she went for the nagging approach, "Adam (said with a bit of a whine), you really need to eat this. I'm serious. Eat!" If that didn't work, I think she coyly began to cry, "Why don't you want to do like I've done? Don't you want to share this special moment with me?"
Whether he ate to get her to be quiet, or he just didn't have the spine to stand up to her, control has now bullied its way onto the list of our longings. Prior to the "devastation of woman," the word control had never been uttered. Now it's screaming from the treetops.
* To this day, it seems that women battle for control and men battle being cowards. Do you see any "control" issues lurking in your life? (Just so you know, it can come in the form of nagging, trying to make everyone happy, being bossy, or frantically trying to keep all your ducks in a row!)
I spent many years believing I didn't have a problem with control. I had so many other issues God had to deal with; control just didn't seem to be one of them. Until one day I realized that my issues with control were wrapped in a sweet package with a pretty bow, but were stinky and mildewed when I got them out in the light. Sometimes I feel like I'm two different women—the loving and kind me I'll call Sweet Girl and the controlling, manipulating me I'll call Sassy Pants Girl.
* If you've never considered yourself a Sassy Pants, see if you can relate to some of these characteristics of a controlling woman. Check any that sound like you.
Won't let anyone help in the kitchen or around the house, but then complains that if she doesn't do everything it won't be done right.
Uses nagging as a tool because if she doesn't nag, people won't budge.
Tries relentlessly to have everyone dressed perfect, acting perfect, and living perfect; but when something happens off her script, she yells or breaks down and cries.
Claims she wants a strong husband who leads, but then criticizes when he tries to.
Exhausts herself trying to make everyone happy and put out emotional fires.
Tells other people how to drive or do things; always gives advice and opinions even when they aren't welcome; generally makes all the decisions or choices within the household.
Charmingly says, "Whatever you want ...," but then seethes when the choice isn't what she wants!
* If you're aware of any other ways you attempt to control, note them here.
* A girlfriend of mine once said, "We all have issues with control. We are either controlling, or being controlled." Do you see yourself as a controller, or one being controlled? explain.
I remember one of the first times I experienced being mugged by control. My husband, Bobby, was a fresh face on the New York Yankees roster. After a few stints playing for them and being sent back to the minor leagues, it looked like he was going to be their starting shortstop for a while. So, in a blitz of excitement, I began looking for a place to live. In baseball life, the joke is—if you buy a home somewhere, you're then going to be traded, released, or sent back to the minor leagues. But I had no time for superstitious joking; I wanted a home! After looking at a total of three homes, I proclaimed to Bobby that I had found our dream house. It was formally a chicken farm that had been made over by a couple who spent most of their time sleeping on unfinished floors with spackle smeared over their faces. I fell in love with the place and began to concoct a plan to convince Bobby that we had to have it. After some heavy persuading (controlling), he reluctantly agreed, and we signed the contract. We lived in that house for eight years and, in all honesty, we loved that home; but I have to admit it had many drawbacks that, had I listened or planned more carefully, I could have avoided. Here were a few of our homeowner follies: the entire place had to be rewired (electricians found old gas holders from gas lamps when they opened up the walls); termites were eating away at the roof; the basement was filled with asbestos, and squirrels had chewed their way inside and created a "squirrel condominium" in our attic. Daily, Bobby would trap these hissing varmints with peanut butter spread on bread, and cart the trap off to a local park only to find out they were probably beating him back home with their honing devices set on our attic!
Several years later, as Bobby and I found ourselves sitting on the couch of a counselor talking through some pain that had swelled in our marriage, he mentioned the fact that many years earlier he didn't express his true feelings about that house. Although we had many happy memories there, he felt as if he should have moved us to a warm climate during the baseball off-season so he could keep his skills sharp. My persuasive sassy pants convinced him to buy that home; it makes me wonder how his career may have played out had we lived somewhere else.
Now that I've stepped on all ten of my toes, I promise to stop. But let me end our time today by saying this: control is the ultimate counterfeit of love. It's the secret adulteress to good intent. Like a robber hiding in a dark closet, control ambushes us. It gags us, and then surveys what it can take from our lives without us noticing we've been robbed.
We're going to circle this topic again tomorrow, but you'll be glad to know that control has a muzzle, an off-switch. We'll get to that important truth on Day Three.
For the next six weeks, I'd like to ask you to grab a blank notebook, journal, or your iPad—anything you can use to write out your thoughts and mental meanderings. We talked about how control is the counterfeit of love. I'd like you to go back to the initial longings we discussed at the beginning of Day one and create a list. On one side of your list, name the longings we've discussed; on the other side, name a counterfeit for that longing. I'll show you my list; feel free to change words or add words of your own.
nurture control intimacy distrust purpose bland insecurity discipline laziness or procrastination treasured trampled or ignored
After you've created your list, can you see areas of true longing that are being crushed by counterfeit substitutes? How have these substitutes crept into your life? Are there events that led you to these counterfeit places, or has it been like the slow drip of a faucet? How do you think God can change counterfeit longings to true spirit desires?
Sometimes I shake my head at the way I think I can hand God my Day-Timer and say, "Here, make it happen." Being married to a professional baseball player has ripped more pages out of my planner than I can recall. After moving forty-seven times in a ten-year span, I finally started to write my plans in pencil rather than scribbling them in permanent marker.
When Bobby and I decided we were ready to have children, it was like the wind of a whistling tornado bowled me over. I was consumed with trying to plan (control) the birth of this new little prince or princess we hoped to conceive. I pulled out a baseball schedule for the next year and plotted a good time to deliver a child. Not in spring training (too inconvenient), not in the middle of the season (we'd probably be in the pennant race), but how about the off-season? The winter months when baseball is dormant seemed the perfect time for our angel to enter this world. I told God about this perfect plan and asked him to come along if he'd like.
Much to my surprise, I got pregnant quickly; but with no regard to my plan, the due date of this baby was precisely in the middle of spring training. After a bit of bristling, I came to terms with the date and settled into dreams of a nursery and sweet gurgles. But after the first signs of spotting, no amount of bed rest could stop the inevitable loss of that sweet child. Bewildered and heartbroken, I asked God why he hadn't followed my plan.
A few months later, we were pregnant again. I was cautiously excited, and after my first visit to the doctor I realized this child's due date, May 26, was during the regular season. However, mid-May arrived and my doctor pushed the due date back to June 6. June came and went—no baby! I was seeing the doctor every day to be monitored for this child that didn't want to leave my womb. We finally welcomed our daughter, Brooke Nicole, to the world on July 3—smack in the middle of a heated pennant race, and almost two months after the date I anticipated her arrival. So much for trying to control God!
If you've ever felt like you've tried to corral God into your way of thinking, planning, or behaving—welcome to the sisterhood, sweet friends. It's comforting to know we're in good company. Many good women in Scripture struggled with control issues. Nothing thrills me more than seeing Bible women who are as messed up as me!
Sarah (originally Sarai) was a godly woman with major control issues. She's one of the few women physically described as gorgeous; married to a prominent man of wealth and stature, Abraham; it looked like they were a couple who had it all. But her heartache came in the form of infertility, and it was through this heartache she learned to trust God. Unfortunately, not before she made some huge mistakes as she tried to "help" God with his promises for her life.
* Please turn to Genesis 16 and read verses 1-3. Note below how long Sarah and Abraham had lived in Canaan.
* After ten years of waiting and praying, what was Sarah's plan to remedy God's delay?
* The end of verse 2 contains a phrase that is "pregnant" with meaning. Please write verse 2 below, and note Abraham's response to Sarah's request.
Why in the world would Abraham agree to this arrangement? After all, wasn't he the one who heard God's promise for an heir with his own ears? Suddenly I'm reminded of the control/coward cycle we saw play out with Adam and Eve. Abraham knows better, but instead of standing as a protector, he lets the controlling whine of his wife dictate the events within his family.
The trouble with control is that whenever we manipulate circumstances to get what we want, it never fills us like we thought it would. Consider Sarah's response to getting what she wanted. Please read verses 4-6 and notice Sarah's sudden change of character.
* With whom is Sarah mad?
Ultimately, she's now mad at her husband, her maid, and God! She's so mad that she's treating Hagar harshly. Hagar, who did nothing but follow Sarah's orders and become pregnant, is now the recipient of rude interaction and hateful drama. Hagar is so distraught that she runs away from the mess and has a powerful encounter with God.

Upstate to welcome students to annual MASH Camp
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Upstate University Hospital's Community Campus will host an annual event to introduce area junior high school students to various health care professions. Twenty-four students are expected to participate in the county's only Medical Academy of Science and Health (MASH) Camp on Feb. 18 and 19.
This year's event marks 14 years that the campus has hosted the educational two-day event. As in past years, the facility will give students access to health care areas, including the emergency department, operating room, pathology, respiratory therapy, pharmacy and radiology. The eighth, ninth and 1oth graders will participate in hands-on workshops and learn such skills as testing lab samples and giving injections.
"Each year, staff members design interesting crash courses specific to their care areas that capture the students' attention and drive curiosity," said Chief Administrative Officer Nancy Daoust. "This is an event we look forward to every year, and it is my pleasure to welcome this group of students to our campus as they explore the breath of health care professions."
The goal of MASH Camp, sponsored by Upstate University Hospital, Central New York Area Health Education Center and The Advocates for Upstate Medical University, is to provide an engaging learning experience for the participating students. The camp promotes and allows students to explore health professions before they begin selecting high school course work and setting future career goals.
For more information about MASH camp and other health careers exploration programs available in central New York, visit CNYAHEC or call (607) 756-1090.

UK: Will Interbrew Be Forced to Lose Two Prime Real Ale Brands?
With ink from the UKP 400 million Whitbread deal barely dry, rumours are beginning to circulate that Interbew will be forced to slice up to 5% from its market share.Sources close to the deal believe two prime real ale brands are poised for the chop; Wadsworth 6x and Flowers. With considerable brand equity invested in Flowers, and a long-standing licence agreement with Wadsworth, it is highly likely Interbrew will be looking for a buyer for Flowers rather than killing production.No spokesperson from the company was available for comment today but further announcements are expected imminently.just-drinks.com will be investigating the story further -- watch the site for details:

Write once, publish anywhere
How would you like write text using whatever text editor you like and then publish the results in a variety of formats, including (X)HTML, MoinMoin wiki, LaTeX, and SGML? txt2tags allows you to write once and publish
Txt2tags is a so-called document generator that can convert a text document containing special formatting markup into different file formats. Although most word processors like OpenOffice.org, KWord, and AbiWord can save documents in different formats, txt2tags offers a few significant advantages:
• Txt2tags is an application-independent tool – you can use virtually any text editor to write documents.
• Because all your documents are stored as plain text files, you don't have to think about compatibility issues.
• Txt2tags can output documents in formats
that some word processors don't support (e.g., MoinMoin wiki, man pages, and MagicPoint).

The Junkman added a post in a topic Are any of these models fun to build?I bought one for $8 on Ebay 2 months ago. Not trying to be argumentative just that it pays to shop around. Got the GS kit for about the same amount. Granted that these were probably liquidators but a kit doesn't know here it comes from.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Round 2's new AMT 2016 Camaro SS FULL DETAIL kit: First look/detailed overview (and I'm not kidding about that full detail comment....)Not a Camaro guy but I might pick one of these up. OTOH, if Round 2 gives up a new Mustang with the same level of detail I'd pick several of them and the Camaro. Re: snap kits I've thought of getting the new Ford GT from Revell but I'm still not certain of the efforts needed to turn it into a Daytona/Le Mans race car even as a snapper. I'm certain there's more to it than slapping a wing on the back. But on a kit of this ilk I've no problem with a snap kit. The alternative is no kit at all. Similar to the Fujimi GT40's: curbside w/no engine detail but that hasn't prevented me from getting 5-6 of them of various types..
The Junkman added a post in a topic Round2 August Announcements VideoNothing interesting this time around but if someone would start the ball rolling on a kit of the Riviera in the background that would be great!
The Junkman added a post in a topic Airbag recall... giant PITA!I got a notice LAST summer saying that my 2013 Mustang needed the replacement. Called the dealer and was told the parts weren't in but they'd let me know when they were ("Don't call us, we'll call you.") I just got another notice from Ford saying that my car still needed the replacement but they parts wouldn't be in until the last quarter of this year ("Don't call us, we'll call you.") OTOH, it seems most of the problems are in cars that reside in humid areas and that's not me. Still I scan the occasional arched eyebrow over the airbags whenever I drive....
The Junkman added a post in a topic Model car builders are cheapskates, right?$135 for a Studio 27 Chrysler Viper GTS-R. Seller (Ebay) wanted a bit more and I wanted to pay a bit less, Compromise. Still unbuilt but I swear....someday....for certain.
The Junkman added a post in a topic How many Can Am Kits Were There?To that you can add the Interserie which used a bunch of Group 7/Can Am cars, Porsche 917 and Lolas.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Ford GT40 recommendationsI think this is the thread mentioned above:
The Junkman added a post in a topic Late model kit questionI have a minimum of 5 of the 2010-2014 Mustangs. Started gathering kits that had some of the parts so I could duplicate my 2013 GT which you can see at the bottom. 2010 Revell for the base, 2013 Boss 302 for the front facia, etc. Then they released the pre-painted 2014 GT which included all the emblems also. Problem solved except for a re-paint/re-stripe. But I then had to buy the 2015 snapper because it had the correct wheels. Just one more thing, just one more, one more.....
But maybe I can kit bash a 2012 Boss 302 like this. Does anyone know if the 1969 Boss 302 "C" stripe will work on this?
The Junkman added a post in a topic Lindberg and Revell Snap Tite Police Cars - Same Model?!?!I, for one, wish Revell had left the 92-97 CV to Lindberg and gone with the 98-2011 body style. The differences and shortcomings noted in a direct comparison would have been muted and we would have a police car of a 14 year production model. I'm sure they had their reasons but for the money spent on the 1992 they could have had a more current model.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Odd pic on Fujimi Ferrari kitPretty common theme with the older Fujimi Enthusiast kit boxes. The 69 911S has a 904 in the background, the 73 Carrera RS has a 917.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Mustang Retro ?If it weren't for cheese, how would J.C. Whitney exist? I'm staying stock and minimalist. Mainly for visibility reasons.
The Junkman added a post in a topic In 1973, who could have guessed that,In 1970 I saw my first Boss 302 in Grabber Blue, my first of anything in that color. Who would have thought that 43 yrs later I'd again be able to get a 5.0 liter Mustang in Grabber Blue with more horse power and twice the gas mileage. I'm glad I lived that long.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Wish ListsWell, if we are going out of the country:
I second the BMW 2002 tii
BMW Bavaria or 3.0 CS
Citroen SM
Aston Martin DB5 with obvious movie tie-in (the stock Doyusha kit is bumping $100)
Find/rescue/remold any of the early '60s Ferrari road cars please 275GTB, 250GT Lusso (oh, the Lusso)
The Junkman added a post in a topic Wish ListsGakk! I was so focused in my prior post I completely forgot:
1967/68 Mustang coupe/convertible. Yet another hole in any collection. Revell has the underpinnings, just add a coupe body. Easy Peasey.
The Junkman added a post in a topic Wish Lists1: 289 Cobra (such a hole in the pantheon of great cars. Could be done all the way from they used to call a "secretary's car" (white wall tires with wire spoke wheels) to full on FIA competition, each one with just a judicious parts swap. Wheels, wind screens, and dress up parts, or not, and a slightly different body for the "cut back" doors and you're there. Its beyond me as to why there isn't a modern kit of this important car. When did the AMT kit come out: 1962 or 63?

My name is Soon Hau Chua. I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the NUS-HCI Lab from the National University of Singapore. My research area lies in the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction and Online Learning. My advisor is Shengdong Zhao.
I am currently working on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) research, specifically looking at how students learn from and with each other on the platform and how that interaction can be improved from the interface and pedagogical standpoint. I conducted qualitative interviews and surveys with more than 200 MOOC students to understand their behaviours and motivations, and used those insights to design better discussion interfaces specifically for massive classes at scale.
Apart from online learning research, I also explore the use of novel modalities in developing solutions for colour-blind people. Together with my collaborators, we developed colour-blind techniques that utilise the binocular lustre effect with stereoscopic 3D, as well as haptic feedback on the wristband form factor. The former allows the colour-blind to distinguish colours quickly, while the latter allows them to recognise and compare colours as well. I have also done work on human factors in visual perception, specifically on the impact of display positions on mobile task performances with monocular optical-see-through head mounted displays.
Since starting my Ph.D, I have published in multiple top conferences (CHI, CSCW, Learning at Scale, Chinese CHI) and journals (ACM Transactions on Computer Human Interaction). Because of that, I am very lucky to travel to Toronto, Vancouver, Seoul, and San Jose to present my work. Apart from publication, I am also a committee of CHI 2015, HAI 2016, and referees for CHI (2014, 2015, 2016), MobileHCI (2015,2016), UIST 2016, Ubicomp 2016, and SIGGRAPH (2015,2016).
In my free time, I like to read (my digital bookshelf), write, and design. I write on Medium about design, user behaviour, and the social impact of technology. I'm also an eclectic music listener, and I love watching football (the round one, not the oval one, mind you) and reading about advertising, branding, culture, and arts. You can find my writing on these topics in my Tumblr.
You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or contact me via email. Here is my CV.

With the returning forwards there are still questions Vail only 45 goals in his career, Johnson might play but he never really made the strides between year 1 and 2, Ho-Sang really has to make that jump, Marchese ??. Rychel has obviously distanced himself from the pack in regards to goal scorers, 2nd leading goal scorer is Giftopolous once you include his Ottawa numbers. Verbeek ?? Moore ?? Obviously they hope De la Rose signs on and Yazkov can contribute right away but that's still a lot to ask for. Even moving forward once Rychel, Vail, Johnson, Marchese all graduate along with any OA's. I get the idea Windsor is going to play a very boring style trying to win games 2-1 and if they are successful great but it better lead to playoff success because watching the trap in junior hockey really is boring and stunts the growth of players. This is why I wasn't on board with all the early D taken the past couple years. It's a lot easier to find a steady D via trade Young, Shutron, Kwiet, Cantin etc.. than it is to find a top 6 forward that can score 30 goals.
I get what u are saying and at least 1 maybe 2 forwards needed to current group
say an 18 yr and an O/A forward maybe 2 probably dreaming at 2 lol,but the current
group if 1 includes Johnson and Marchese is a start
My lines as of today would be
Moore-Verbeek-Bilcke{for now}
sp Luchuk-Graham-Foss-Leslie-Kenney {pick 2}
You have to know at least 2 more will be added
Btw I do expect HoSang to improve alot,his snub from the 118 team hopefully motivates him
There is uncertainty regarding Johnson and Marchese I suspect,however if both
play both could come back next yr as O/As only saying not promoting
This years crop has some interesting players the Huddie kid is supposed to be pretty
good,Andlauer and Marlatt are thought of highly by the club,the Belerussian player
Trublin might be something sooner then later,Burns,Markovic,Murray show promise on the backend,along with last yrs picks Kotsovos,Baughman, and they say Morrison is underated,as well goalie Brendan Johnston looks like a good one
The future not a bleak as some may think,at least in the next 2 yrs Spits will have a 1st rd pick
If both Euros show as I expect and produce,along with Johnson and Marchese, a couple of deals who knows what happens
The Western Conference wont be bustling with powerhouses this year,alot of teams
maybe 5 or 6 or maybe more with little separation of talent
