RAMALLAH, West Bank - The West Bank Palestinian leadership on Sunday formally decided to press ahead with efforts in September to win U.N. recognition of a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, in what could be a blow to efforts to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

In the last decade, a small but distinguished group of medical and even some legal scholars have sought to address this dilemma by calling for a revision of our current methods of informed consent in favor of shared medical decision-making.9 Shared medical decision-making is a process in which the physician shares with the patient all relevant risk and benefit information on all treatment alternatives and the patient shares with the physician all relevant personal information that might make one treatment or side effect more or less tolerable than others.10 Then, both parties use this information to come to a mutual medical decision.11 Advocates of shared medical decision-making praise its improvements in patient autonomy and comprehension, its ability to reduce unwanted medical procedu...

VIENNA -- Israel's secretive nuclear activities may undergo unprecedented scrutiny next month, with a key meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency tentatively set to focus on the topic for the first time, according to documents shared Friday with The Associated Press. A copy of the restricted provisional agenda of the IAEA's June 7 board meeting lists "Israeli nuclear capabilities" as the eighth item -- the first time the agency's decision-making body is being asked to deal with the issue in its 52 years of existence.

Because a smallpox outbreak would be a global public health emergency of major proportions, in 1999 the WHO approved a research program at the two authorized repositories to develop improved medical defenses against the disease.1 In May the smallpox research program will mark its 10th anniversary, a milestone that has intensified the debate among the WHO'S 193 member states regarding the disposition of the authorized stocks of the smallpox virus. In response, the World Health Assembly, the WHO'S top decision-making body of member states, adopted Resolution 33.4 in 1980 urging all countries that possessed the smallpox virus either to destroy their stocks or transfer them to one of four designated WHO collaborating centers. Because the WHO did not have the authority or the ability to ve...

In his current role with AFSCME, [Willie L. Pelote Sr.] oversees statewide political and legislative affairs for the nation's largest union of public employees and health care workers. He is responsible for all aspects of AFSCME's legislative program in California, and for developing and implementing the union's political strategy for campaigns at all levels of public office.

Lucy worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the historic Memphis sa...

When attorney [Brent Newell] sent the appeal to the Board of Supervisors, he said state law mandates "that when an unelected body [[Phil Smith]] certifies an EIR, that decision may be appealed to that agency's elected decision-making body." That's where the appeal goes wrong, says county counsel Patrick Faulkner. When Smith certified the landfill EIR, he acted as the Local Enforcement Agency of the state waste board, not as an unelected county official. And in Smith's capacity as the Local Enforcement Agency, he has no "elected decision-making body" to which he is responsible. Thus, says Faulkner, there is no right to appeal the certification, at least not at this stage. It's not over for the Green Coalition, even if the appeal fails to move forward. Now that the Local Enforcement Agenc...
