Master of Physician Assistant Studies
The Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) program at Chatham University provides academic and clinical training that will prepare its graduates to be certified and licensed to practice as extenders to the practicing physician, especially the primary care physician, in a competent and reliable manner.
Students complete two didactic semesters at our Chatham Eastside facility before beginning their clinical rotations at various sites in the greater Pittsburgh area, other parts of the US and around the globe. Graduates of the program have achieved a 99% average first-time pass rate over the past five years on the Physician Assistant National Certification Examination (PANCE). More information on the scores and PANCE are available here.
Vision & Mission Statements
To strive for excellence in physician assistant education whose graduates are known as outstanding clinicians in the community and leaders in the profession trained by faculty who are recognized for developing and researching innovative curricular methods.
The Chatham University MPAS Program is dedicated to producing knowledgeable, compassionate, ethical, and clinically skillful graduates that are ready to provide health care services to all persons without exclusion and who are willing to become the future leaders and educators of the profession. This will be accomplished by:
- Providing a student-centered curriculum which promotes self-directed and lifelong learning through the use of evidence-based medicine;
- Promoting professionalism and service to the community;
- Educating competent physician assistants to practice as primary care providers to all populations;
- Contributing to the advancement of knowledge in medicine and physician assistant education;
- Encouraging students to serve local, national, and international communities through active involvement in service-oriented programs for medically underserved populations;
- Involving students in inter-professional activities and encouraging the development of team skills and an appreciation of team-based, patient-centered care;
- Promoting participation in professional organizations and the education of future PAs; and
- Supporting sustainability through health promotion, disease prevention, health literacy, cultural competency, responsible and evidence-based use of medical resources, and reduction of printed materials in and out of the classroom.
Program Goals
- To have our first time PANCE pass rate at or above the national average each year.
- To maintain academic attrition (dismissals) at a level ≤ 7%.
- To have 100% of students select at least one rotation in a Medically Underserved Community (MUC) as defined by the Health Resources Services Administration.
Please visit the PANCE Passage Rate & Program Outcomes page to see the achievement of these goals.
Problem-based Learning (PBL)
Chatham's program uses PBL, an exciting process that prepares students to practice evidence-based clinical medicine. Through working on simulated patient cases, students develop learning issues, research topics using the most up-to-date resources, work in teams, and receive feedback on both their knowledge base and their professionalism.

Just running for an hour at any speed is such a monumental accomplishment for me, and I can feel myself getting stronger. I've come to a place where running is an almost comfortable state for me, and I can speed up temporarily and slow back down to recover. Finishing a six-mile run is amazing. And running is doing so many good things for me.
I looked at my legs in the mirror the other day and they are looking almost like they did in college. I can fit into my "skinny clothes," including some that haven't fit since before I got pregnant with Suzi (my firstborn). I used to get winded easily while walking up hills, and now hills are no big deal unless I am running up them. I am able to wear Robert on my back in the Ergo for hours at a time while doing housework, and I don't get tired like I used to. And, finally, after being stuck about ten pounds over my ideal weight, it is starting to come down. Our nutritional changes have had an impact on that too, I'm sure.
One of the best things ever is to run as far as you can, get all sweaty and gross, and then take a shower. I know that after we finish this 10K it'll be tempting to say "wheee! Let's train for a half marathon!" I can already feel the pull of that challenge. I don't know. I really never meant to do a 10K when I started! But I didn't realize how great it would feel to accomplish a six-mile run. I'm sure that eight miles, ten miles, thirteen would feel incredible. I definitely don't think I'll ever do a whole marathon, though.
Probably not.

Patriot Antenna in Albion to close doors in December; about 70 workers will lose their jobs
Three years after being bought out by an international aerospace firm, employees at Albion-based Patriot Antenna found out this week they will be losing their jobs.
Officials from the U.K.-based Cobham notified the about 70 employees at Patriot Antenna the plant was closing Dec. 31. The work will be sent to one of its facilities in Orlando, Fla. and about a dozen will be offered the chance to move with the company.
Nov. 8 will be the last day for 31 employees, while 21 will remain as the company works to close the plant, the company said in a written statement.
Patriot Antenna was formed in 1992 and several years ago employed 120. Employees there made antennas for a variety of commercial and military applications. Cobham purchased the firm in 2007.
Monica Hallman, spokeswoman for Cobham Corporate North America wrote in a statement that the closure was necessary "to position the company and workforce for future success and growth while providing the best value to our customers."
"Although the international satellite industry saw unprecedented growth up until about 3 years ago it has taken a significant decline since the world-wide recession hit," Hallman said. "As we take this unfortunate but necessary step, we are working closely with our employees to facilitate their transition and educate them on the benefits they're entitled to, including financial compensation, healthcare options and career counseling," Hallman wrote.

It's so fun when I get requests to draw cute cuddly animals. Someone wanted me to do a lesson on "how to draw a kitty, step by step. Naturally I couldn't pass up a request like this because I wanted to try out my new animal drawing techniques when it comes to sketching out anime or cartoon style animals. Even though the kitty in the thumbnail is extremely adorable, I would have to say that my favorite one out of the bunch is the sleeping kitty. I know what your saying, "a sleeping kitty, where?". You can't see that cat in the main image, but you will get two tutorials for the price of one. Do you know how many people want to teach themselves "how to draw a sleeping cat"? Tons, that's how many. In the end, I labeled this drawing for novice artist because anyone can learn "how to draw a kitty". I mean, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3. I hope you enjoy this submission, I had so much fun with it, and I know you will too. Peace out my fellow drawing buddies, and make sure you join me in the live stream today!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

The chief defense lawyer at Oscar Pistorius' murder trial on Thursday pointed out alleged missteps by police and questioned their treatment of evidence in the investigation of the athlete's killing of his girlfriend.
Lawyer Barry Roux cross-examined a police forensics expert for a second day, challenging his analysis of a bullet-marked toilet door that was removed from the bathroom at Pistorius' home, where the double-amputee athlete fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013.
Pistorius has said he shot Steenkamp by mistake through the door, fearing there was a dangerous intruder in the house. The prosecution says he intentionally killed her after an argument.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Roux said fragments went missing from the door after police investigators took possession of it, and he questioned the reliability of police studies of the door. The lawyer also noted that Vermeulen had not read Pistorius' version of events on the night of the killing until after he had completed his forensic study of the door, and was therefore leaning toward the prosecution's version of what happened.
The colonel's testimony has also focused on a cricket bat that Pistorius said he used to break through the toilet door to get to Steenkamp after, according to his account, realizing his mistake.
On Wednesday, Vermeulen knelt and swung the bat to show how he believed Pistorius struck the door from a low angle, indicating he was on his stumps at the time. Roux insisted Pistorius was wearing his prosthetic legs, saying the bat marks on the door were low because he swung with a bent back.
The back-and-forth over whether Pistorius, the first amputee to run at the Olympics, was on his prosthetic limbs or not is important because it could match parts of his story that he accidentally shot Steenkamp, or expose inconsistencies in it.

Stand-up comic brings his comedy, and his opinions, to Pala this weekend
Americans have a long list of political problems: the debt ceiling, the shutdown, immigration reform and party standoffs.
Comedian Lewis Black has one: There's just too much to talk about.
"I had 20 minutes of material that didn't make the last special," bemoans Black, who performs his stand-up routine Saturday, Oct. 26, at Pala Casino. "I've been working on a bit about legalizing pot for more than a year, but there isn't room for it."
Earlier this year, Black debuted "Old Yeller: Live at Borgata," the first comedy special to premiere simultaneously on cable and satellite platforms, courtesy of Image Entertainment.
"Old Yeller" bears no relation to the dog, Black explains. He's just old and he yells a lot.
He pushed for a live special, he says, because his comedy is inspired by current events.
Known for finger-pointing and dropping F-bombs during his explosive routines, the obstreperous comic's latest outrage is "the least functional Congress in my lifetime."
Lewis Black
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26
Where: Pala Events Center, 11154 State Route 76, Pala
Tickets: $35-$90 (21 and older)
Phone: (877) 946-7252
Online: palacasino.com
"They have allowed a small vocal minority to grab the rudder of the ship, and I blame them all," says Black, 65.
"(The shutdown) is entirely for their self-interest and for them to get re-elected again. That's not the way it works. They should get out of the gym and go to a bar. When I was a kid, drunks ran the government better."
Black also slams his own generation's shortcomings, a generation that "took nothing from the way they were born and raised and want to go back to an idyllic situation that doesn't exist without high taxes and government funding."
"Sorry you won't be getting Social Security when you get older," he apologized when he appeared as a keynote speaker earlier this year to the graduates of UC San Diego's Marshall College. "No one ever said we were supposed to pass it on to the next generation, so we spent it."
And then there is his rant on what many refer to as Obamacare.
"Democrats call it Obamacare because the Democrats, in their own fashion, want to show us that they are as dumb as the Republicans are stupid," says Black, a two-time Grammy Award winner, New York Times best-selling author and regular commentator on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart."
"Even Obama started calling it that, and that sent me off the rails. It's the Affordable Health Care Act. Call it what it is. Richard Nixon, Ted Kennedy and Wilbur Mills essentially created the model. At least from everything I read."
Though he's referred to as the "angry comic," Lewis has a warm and fuzzy side, especially when it comes to performing for the military in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"I had an opportunity to go, and it was the most eye-opening experience that I've had since I took LSD," says Black.
"They are out there in the middle of a desert and I'm just doing shows, and I'm, like, a wreck. Their level of sacrifice overwhelmed me. If the American people had 10 percent of that, we wouldn't be having the problems we have."
Black takes issue with both political parties; it makes you wonder which side he supports.
"I'm a socialist," says Black, a Jewish comedian who was born in Washington, D.C. "You have nothing to fear from me because my party doesn't exist. What appeals to me about socialism? It's kind of an enforced Christianity."

- Well-endowed sovereign wealth fund thanks to oil production
- Significant gas potential in the Caspian Sea
- Increased prospect of gas exports to Turkey, then Europe
- Link in the connection between China and Europe; development of rail corridors with Iran, Turkey and Georgia
- Favourable business environment (25th in Doing Business 2019)
- Heavily dependent on hydrocarbons; limited non-oil sector
- Declining oil production (25% reduction over the last six years)
- Weak banking system
- Risk that the armed conflict with Armenia could worsen
- Governance problems (corruption, repression, offshore money laundering)
Risk assessment
Dependent on hydrocarbons, but diversification efforts are underway
Growth, driven by the performance of the hydrocarbon sector (44% of GDP and 76% of industrial production), should benefit from high oil prices and the development of gas production. In 2019, the country should also be rewarded for its diversification efforts with a more than 3% expansion in its non-oil and gas economy. The resulting increase in income should have a positive impact on households, whose consumption (52% of GDP) will continue to increase vigorously. Public investment (2/3 of the total) will be directed towards the energy sector (Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian and completion of the Trans Anatolian TANAP pipeline) and economic diversification (cotton, tourism, fruit and vegetables, as well as automotive with Iran Khodro), as favourable economic conditions set the stage for significant public spending thanks to increased revenues. The revival of credit should also allow growth in private investment, which will remain mainly foreign (FDI). The contribution of trade to growth is expected to be slightly negative. Additional gas exports will only partially offset the decrease in oil exports due to well depletion, but together they will remain the main export item (90%). Imports will increase more rapidly, reflecting more positive trajectories for consumption and investment.
Current account and government surplus due to hydrocarbons
The transfers from the sovereign wealth fund (SOFAZ) will more than cover the initial deficit of 2.5% of GDP. Revenue growth since 2016, first through the development of the non-oil sector, then through the recovery in hydrocarbon prices (57% of budget revenues) and the expansion in gas production, is expected to slow (3% increase). Against this backdrop, a new fiscal rule has been adopted to reduce dependence on the oil cycle by controlling spending when prices are high. Specifically, the government has set the threshold above which additional revenue can be spent at USD 60, which is USD 5 more than in 2018. Even so, spending will continue to grow at a sustained rate in 2019 (15%). This is particularly true of investment spending, which will represent one third of total expenditure, with current expenditure increasing to a lesser extent (under 6%). After increasing because of assistance provided to state-owned companies struggling in the wake of major devaluations – in particular the International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA) –, public debt is expected to be reduced, but remains vulnerable owing to its high sensitivity to external shocks (fall in oil prices, depreciation) and guarantees granted by the state. IBA's troubles are not unique in the banking sector, which continues to be affected by numerous bank closures, non-performing assets (25%), and low profitability. Despite all this, credit is expected to rebound slightly: banks – 80% of whose deposits are in US dollars – are only willing to lend in that currency in order to protect themselves against exchange rate risk. Accordingly, borrowers prefer to use informal credit, even if the rates are usurious. The policy of interest rate cuts (from 15% to 9.75%) initiated by the central bank in 2018 might continue, but will be tightened if there is pressure on the exchange rate, since currency stability is its main objective.
The current account should still be largely positive thanks to the structural trade surplus (20% of GDP) linked to hydrocarbons, despite the continued services deficit (8%) and income deficit (6.5%, but improving), which reflect the presence of foreign companies in the hydrocarbon sector. With the central bank's reserves dwindling to the equivalent of four months of imports over recent years, SOFAZ provides the central bank (the two had combined reserves of USD 45 billion at the end of 2018, an increase of 9% in one year) with sufficient funds to service the external debt of the company in charge of the TANAP pipeline and the state oil company (SOCAR). The country's total external debt, half of which is public, represents 45% of GDP.
A well-established regime
In April 2018, President Ilham Aliyev was re-elected for a fourth term, this time for seven years, taking 86% of the vote in an election marked by irregularities and an opposition boycott. He has reappointed his wife as Vice-President. The Parliament, dominated by the President's Party (YAP), plays a secondary role vis-à-vis the executive. With growth resuming and despite deep inequalities, stability is expected to persist. The political opposition is weak, and the authorities are not afraid to use repressive measures. Despite some progress, governance as measured by the World Bank ranking remains poor. Some freedoms are actually being curtailed, which is not facilitating relations with the EU. Conversely, the country's business environment has improved dramatically, jumping 40 places in the Doing Business ranking. Finally, the risk of an escalation in the armed confrontation with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh and other adjacent Azeri territories occupied by Armenian forces is contained by the strong joint influence of Russia, Turkey and Iran over the region. However, Nakhchivan – an Azeri enclave trapped between Armenia and Iran, which had seemed calmer – has seen a resurgence of Azeri military activity coinciding with the political upheaval in Armenia.

The Xoçaí Omega Squares have been developed to provide your body with these essential fatty acids.
(PRWEB) December 08, 2012
Marketing Xocolate International Corporation (MXI-Corp), the leader in healthy dark chocolate, has added Omega Squares to its Xoçai™ line of products. The Omega Squares are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are almost nonexistent, but necessary, in American diets.
Omega Squares promote the necessary balance of essential fatty acids through the açaí berry, flaxseed and a patented, plant-based, encapsulated Omega-3. Three Omega Squares provide more than 90 percent of the recommended daily Omega-3 intake.
"The Xoçaí Omega Squares have been developed to provide your body with these essential fatty acids," said Andrew Brooks, founder and executive vice president of MXI-Corp. "These fatty acids, including Omega-3, provide your body with preventative and better health during every stage of your life."
As with all Xoçaí™ products, Omega Squares are certified by Brunswick Labs, an independent, third-party lab that provides analytical services for leading research institutions, corporations and other organizations. This certification program verifies that the product has met specific quality-assurance standards and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) tests. The
ORAC test measures the antioxidant content of foods and health products. Omega Squares have an ORAC score of 11,319.
"MXI-Corp is the market and world leader in healthy dark chocolate products," said MXI
Ambassador Adam Green, president of Draper, Utah-based Winner's Circle International. "The
Omega Squares are an antioxidant 'powerhouse' and have an unparalleled taste. This is a great addition to our already strong product line."
Omega Squares have a minimum of 200-mg DHA and EPA per three, 11-gram squares.

Adam was born to a multi-talented beauty queen Mother and a Father who, in addition to being a US Army Spy and a Counter-Intelligence Special Agent, was also a highly accomplished entrepreneur. Adam was taught at a young age that, in both life and business, loyalty is a requirement for success. He's had the honor of working directly with his father in several of the family businesses. In fact, this is where he learned crucial entrepreneurial skills and honed his talents with international business strategies and venture capitalism.
Adam earned his Bachelors of Science Degree in International Business and Marketing from the University of Utah. He was hand-picked by the President of the University's renowned School of Business to compete with dozens of other ambitious nationwide-graduates for the opportunity to secure a lucrative job within a prestigious Fortune 100 company.
Adam's hard work and creativity helped him land this job of a lifetime. He obtained incredible business experience there and spent years innovating, improving processes and setting sales records. Although this dream job in Traditional Corporate America was a fun challenge for him, and something he truly enjoyed mastering, Adam's natural entrepreneurial spirit kept nudging him to do something more significant with his time and talents.
Since 2001, Adam has been involved in the Health and Wellness Industry as a successful Entrepreneur, Broker, Product Developer and Manufacturer of Cosmeceutical products. During his career, he has worked with some of the most recognizable Fortune 500 businesses along with many top international Network Marketing companies. Adam has consistently proven his unique ability to help his clients achieve their goals through creative Distribution-Channel Placement, innovative Product Development and custom Manufacturing. Adam currently owns three profitable businesses.
Admittedly, Adam was not initially a fan of Network Marketing. He did not understand the business model because it was new to him. However, once he learned that the REAL focus of Direct Sales is to help average people get a taste of entrepreneurialism --- with minimal risk and at a low cost --- Adam was absolutely convinced of the potential with Multi-Level Marketing.
Since joining the company as one of the original 11 founding distributors, Adam has discovered that many of his life-goals truly do align perfectly with Network Marketing. Adam enjoys helping others find significance. Adam is most grateful for the complete time-freedom he has with his fantastic wife and five children. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Adam Paul Green, MXI Corp Ambassador and Multi-Millionaire Earner.

A simple unscientific poll, which I am sure some people would prefer to pick more than one option but I'm asking folks pick the one they like best. Bear in mind that the way I am "reading" this poll is as follows ... "If everything else stayed along the same ... in other words, the development of new areas, new monsters, quests and so forth all stayed about relative to the pace it is currently ... what I'd like to see MOST is --" If you care to add comments you can, but the vote alone is really what I want to read. Personally I think what the module needs more than anything is more players ... but with everyone making their own module and basically the original Dyso player base balkanized into little groups of He-said vs. She-said, there's a general malaise cast over it all. Nevertheless we truck onward because I still harbor some hope that eventually some of this balkanization will fall by the wayside and we can get back to having some fun again._________________Envision something suitably witty here.

I'm usually not one to fuss, and I like for the most part the way that experience works now, but I wouldn't mind seeing about a 50% increase in XP for the smaller valued monsters killed, and maybe like a 25% increase for the bigger ones. Also, I know its coming and its not really important right now, but a nice and high leveled area (for those of us that have wonderously managed to get this far in the mod so far ) would be a good thing to visit. Not a priority, but would be fun to have. _________________KitsuneJin - Fox Person Drayfox - Half Dragon, Half Fox Marquis (Pronounce Mahr-kee) - Leader; Person in charge.

Custom items are good, but mainly for different looks to existing items, ie monk robes. Current area progresson is fine. And guild bases and items will come along when there are actually some guilds. So basically, more quests is what I'll vote for. Quests solve a lot of problems: Not enough XP - Do a Quest! Not enough to do - Do a Quest!
