KU Med documentary to debut tonight
The University of Kansas Medical Center will show a documentary tonight on area television stations about its month-long program that places fourth-year medical students in rural hospitals.
"Medicine on the Kansas Prairie will air at 9 p.m. on KTWU of Topeka, which is Sunflower Cable's channel 11. KPTS of Wichita and Smoky Hills Public Television, Kansas City residents can see the program on the UMKC channel on Time Warner Cable.The 30-minute film showcases the Kansas Rural Preceptor Program, now in its 50th year.
"We really wanted to demonstrate the history of the program," said Dan Ginavan, director of the film and Kansas Video Network project manager at the Med Center.
He said the program was originally created to encourage medical practice in rural areas during a World War II shortage of physicians. Now the program gives students an opportunity to connect with patients and mentors, which a demanding, urban hospital such as the Med Center cannot offer, he said.

Bush nominates Tom Ridgeto lead Homeland Security
WASHINGTON — President Bush yesterday named Tom Ridge to head the new Department of Homeland Security but said the department can "neither predict nor prevent every conceivable attack."
"We're doing everything we can to protect America," Bush said. "In a free and open society, no department of government can completely guarantee our safety against ruthless killers who move and plot in shadows."
Bush asked the Senate to confirm his nomination of Ridge and named two deputies: Navy Secretary Gordon England and Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson.
As the president's homeland security adviser, Ridge has won praise for improving communication between Washington and local governments.
Bush has given Ridge a daunting assignment to combine nearly two dozen agencies, $40 billion in budgets and 170,000 employees.

First team of U.N. inspectors begins Iraq weapons search
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The first team of U.N. inspectors landed in Iraq yesterday to take up the hunt for chemical, biological or nuclear arms programs, a search whose outcome could help determine the future of peace in the Middle East.
A white C-130 transport, emblazoned with a simple "UN," touched down at Saddam International Airport carrying a contingent of 18 international arms monitors and their cargo of high tech sensors, computers and other gear. They had assembled earlier at a U.N. rear base on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
The team comprised of six nuclear experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna and 12 inspectors from the New York-based U.N. commission charged with searching for other weapons of mass destruction, left the airport without speaking to reporters.
After a four-year suspension, this crucial new round of surprise inspections will begin tomorrow morning, when inspectors likely will revisit an unidentified Iraqi site previously inspected in the 1990s. Among other things, they may check on cameras and other monitoring equipment left behind by earlier inspectors.
Later, the inspectors will branch out to new or rebuilt sites—including, for example, suspected storage places for chemical weapons that U.S. intelligence alleges are still held by Iraq.
"We have the right to inspect any sites at any time," said Hiro Ueki, Baghdad spokesman for the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, known as UNMOVIC.
