CHICAGO (AP) - The former editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association - fired because he published a sex poll that coincided with President Clinton's impeachment trial - reached an agreement with the AMA that allows him to contribute articles to the publication.
The AMA and Dr. George D. Lundberg issued a statement Wednesday, saying they resolved "substantive differences."
It did not elaborate on the agreement, and the AMA would not release any other information. Lundberg and his attorney did not return telephone messages.
The statement said Lundberg "intends to devote the same effort, skill and determination that he brought to JAMA for nearly two decades to critical medical and health issues, as well as contributing to scientific medical research and journalism, including JAMA, subject to editorial discretion."
Lundberg was fired Jan. 15 by AMA President E. Ratcliffe Anderson Jr. after publishing a survey regarding students' attitudes toward sex. Ratcliffe said it inappropriately interjected the organization into a political debate.
The survey showed 59 percent of college students questioned in 1991 didn't consider oral-genital contact as having "had sex."
The firing prompted an outcry from editors of other medical journals and others in the medical profession who said it damaged the journal's credibility and editorial independence.

Washington County firefighters fought to put out a trailer fire in Donora early Saturday.
Firefighters said the fire started inside a double-wide trailer in the 1300 block of Fayette Avenue about 3 a.m. Saturday.
It was unclear if anyone lived inside the trailer, fire officials said.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Last week I read an article on Harvard Business Review called "The Martial Art of Difficult Conversations." While the author related a personal story to reflect on how to have conflict conversations, it very well applies to business.
I hate conflict. I hate hard conversations. I have this innate need to be liked and I used to think that if I had the hard conversations, people would like me less. Turns out, people like me less if I won't have the hard conversations and the relationship ends, be it business or personal.
Once I realized that, it became easier to have the hard conversations.
But what do hard conversations really mean? They mean honesty. They mean professionalism. They mean no personal attacks. But they most importantly mean listening.
In social media, we talk about all of these things and how important they are as we build relationships online. But what about using the same philosophy offline, as well?
I'm not going to say it's easy. Especially when you're dealing with a situation that you just KNOW you're right. So following is what I do when I need to have a hard conversation, or someone approaches me with a complaint.
1. If the person comes to me, I ask a lot of questions. I ask questions until the person has said everything they have to say. When I feel like they've said their peace and they just need a solution, I ask "big brain" questions such as "How would you like this to end?" or "In a perfect situation, how do you see this going?" I never offer advice, I never offer my opinion. I just ask questions.
2. If I have to have the hard conversation with someone, I don't sugarcoat things nor do I belabor the issue. I start by saying, "We need to have a conversation that is going to be uncomfortable for both of us, but I think we can work through the issue and come to a solution together." Then I state the issue. Then I ask some questions to understand the other person's point of view.
There are plenty of times that I have to peek down at a post-it note that says three things:
1. Count to 10
2. Ask questions
3. Don't get defensive
If I follow these three reminders, I tend to have better, more effective conversations that result in better relationships.
What do you do to master the art of the difficult conversation?

19 Comments on "Mastering the Art of Difficult Conversations"
Good topic to raise, and I echo Jeff…these conversations need to have a win/win outcome where both sides know how they will move forward.
I find in a lot of cases that the block to a successful outcome of a difficult conversation is a failure by both sides to understand each others viewpoint.
I don't think that you can truly resolve conflict, or differences, without fully understanding how and why the two sides differ.
And to concur with the previous two comments in deed a win/win situation is the ultimate goal. I like the "post-it" note coaching here Gini. I think most people shoot first, aim second and prepare themselves third when it comes to difficult conversations.
Letting the other person talk first allows you to determine what really is at issue here but moreover lets them feel that they are actually being heard – from this the conversation can then be led to creating a solution based on what you've heard. Great post and even better points to ponder. Cheers,
Sometimes, the best conversations to have are the difficult ones. If you don't have them, nothing gets done. I wish more people would recognize this… On the flip side, confrontation sometimes doesn't work. Hard conversations get easier when both parties are reasonable and cool headed.
Um Erin? As one of my IRL best friends, YOU know I don't know how to say no. It's impossible for me to do. Perhaps someone can guest blog on that topic for Erin and me??
Awesome post! Ironically, talking about having hard conversations is just as uncomfortable as having them. Which is probably why hardly anyone has yet touched upon the topic. Great advice on handling these situations, I think that's 95% of the problem: no one really knows where to start a hard conversation without it going downhill–in a hurry.
@ginideitrich Good article about difficult conversations. http://tinyurl.com/ylad65s
The post and comments are so wonderful I have little to add. Yet, I would add one thing to your post-it note–breathe (deeply)
I think it helps keep me relaxed and open if things feel tense.
Get to the root cause with a little emotion as possible. Deal in facts but maintain empathy for the situation.
Gini – I loved this post, especially the "Don't get defensive" rule. I think when anyone is met with a difficult situation the automatic response is to be defensive instead letting that go and taking that feedback as a learning tool.
I sent your post around my office – thanks!
This is a great post and love all the comments! I've often said to clients, friends and even my kids — that our culture – particularly our business culture – trains most of us to avoid conflict rather than deal with it.
I won't echo all the great tips / advice given in the post and the comments – but just wanted to celebrate that there are folks who see conflict as the opportunity it is for positive change.

KIRKSVILLE, Missouri (AP) - A United States (US) man accused of killing and dismembering another man, then setting fires to conceal the crime, hurled the victim's arms at witnesses shortly before he was arrested, police said.
Paul R. Potter, 49, was charged Monday with second-degree murder, arson and tampering with a motor vehicle and is being held on US$1 million (S$1.22 million) bond. Kevin Locke, the public defender assigned to represent Potter, did not immediately return a phone call on Tuesday seeking comment.
Authorities are not releasing the victim's name until relatives have been notified, the prosecutor's office said.
Police officers responding to a call of a vehicle fire on Sunday arrived at a public housing development and saw Potter "throw two objects, later identified as human arms, toward the witnesses," according to a probable cause statement.
Potter was taken into custody "and blood evidence was later collected from his hands," the statement said.
Fires had been set in two apartments. Officers and firefighters found a dismembered body with additional wounds to the face and sternum in one of the apartments. Both apartments were both strewn with blood.
Potter had taken "substantial steps to conceal the crime and divert attention away from the crime," the police statement said.
Two vehicles also had been set on fire and police said they found several knives inside and around one of the apartments.
Witnesses told police that Potter had been involved in a nearby disturbance earlier that day.

ONTRAC newsletter
Accessible, interesting, varied
ONTRAC is our regular newsletter, funded by the NGO Research Programme.
Each issue looks at a different theme of interest to development practitioners, civil society actors and academics. Articles put forward perspectives and experiences from practitioners across the world.
It is published three times a year in electronic and print form and is read around the world.
Latest issue - ONTRAC 61: Post-closure evaluation: an indulgence or a valuable exercise?
What is the purpose of post-closure evaluations from the perspective of those commissioning them? What is their value-added as opposed to other forms of follow-up study? Which challenges do commissioners and evaluators face?
ONTRAC 61 brings together three different perspectives regarding post- closure evaluation: that of an organisation commissioning a post-closure evaluation; that of a consultant who carried out a post-closure evaluation using his own resources; and that of a research team that was commissioned to do a large study.
With articles from Janet Clark, Monitoring and Evaluation Manager at VSO; INTRAC Associate Chris Wardle and Community Develeopment Water Special Nagul Zakiriaeva; Dr. Sara Kinsbergen and Christine Plaisier from the Centre for International Development Issues Nijmegen; and INTRAC's Sarah Lewis.

Other than .30-30 leverguns, probably more deer taken with that rifle/caliber than any other. >50% are found with some gawdawful Williams see-thru mount and a POS 3x9 or 4x scope.
If AR's or AK's probably have, on average, the most rounds downrange per rifle, the I'd bet the 742 is the polar opposite, at least for semi-auto rifles.
July 19, 2007, 06:30 PM
I've got a 742 in 6mm Remington. It's been a good rifle. Taken some deer with it.
July 19, 2007, 06:58 PM
I personally wouldn't buy a 742 but would hold out for a 7400, The 742's had issues with the bolt's locking lugs eating into the receiver ruining the gun. I've seen several examples of this.
July 19, 2007, 06:58 PM
I HAD one in .30-06, and just about the time that I was starting to really figure it out and get some half decent groups, it decided to go and break on me :(. Basically the bolt kept locking in place after the shot, so it made the rifle pretty much useless. After talking to the gunsmith about it, it seems as though it is not an uncommon problem. It is too bad because it was a really fun rifle and it mated almost perfectly with a 3-9x40mm leupold rifleman.
July 19, 2007, 07:13 PM
Good close range hunting rifle, albeit a bit heavy for its capability.
Doesn't scare the Fudds. Rusts easily.
I had a 7400 that would not produce the accuracy I wanted. Groups walked as the barrel heated.
July 20, 2007, 08:28 AM
Accurate enough to hunt at 300 meters with a scope. Mine has been completely reliable even though it has seen some hard use. The 30.06 is probably still one of the most versatile cartridges on earth.
July 20, 2007, 12:38 PM
I had a Remington 740 in 30-06 years ago. Like others have said, accuracy was mediocre. I had trouble getting the mags in and out with the somewhat awkward latch mechanism. The weaver scope mounts that I had, had the large knobs which interfered with grabbing the bolt handle. More than once I scraped fingers. The rifle worked fine. I found it a bit unhandy.
July 20, 2007, 12:50 PM
heres some info I just got one.
Bottom Gun
July 20, 2007, 02:57 PM
I have a 742 carbine in .30-06. I have owned it for 27 years and during the time I have shot the dickens out of it.
I have never had a single problem or malfunction with it.
Accuracy has been OK. It will shoot 1.5-2 MOA. It tends to do better with bullets under 180 gr.
It has been a great rifle for me. I set it up for Pamm this year with a Leupold 1.5-5X20 scope so she can use it for elk in October. It's a perfect ladies' hunting rifle since the recoil is moderate.
I would not hesitate to try one of these. They are nice rifles.
July 20, 2007, 03:13 PM
my fault heres some more info!!
July 21, 2007, 12:50 PM
I have deer hunted for 30 years with a Remington 742.
I developed a load for it using a Sierra 165 gr hpbt.
It is a very accurate load, and the rifle has never gave
me any problem what so ever.
Don't know how many deer I've taken with this gun,
but I've never lost one. Those that are down on hollow
points for deer, probably haven't tried them.
July 21, 2007, 01:18 PM
My Dad had one in 30-06 for 25 years before he passed. Always brought home the deer with it. Lots of firings, but never a problem with it. He told me many times , he loved that rifle.
July 21, 2007, 01:45 PM
I have a 740 in .280 Remington that I bought($150) from an older gentleman in our hunting club in 1986. I take it deer hunting on about half my trip and have never had an issue.
July 21, 2007, 06:14 PM
My first hunting rifle was an old Remington 742 Woodsmaster carbine (.30-06, of course) with a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9x40 scope.
Nice rifle--a real boomer, though, with that short barrel!
July 21, 2007, 07:08 PM
Good hunting guns if you keep it clean and be careful when cleaning the barrel from the muzzle so you don't damage the crown. Not really built for a lot of shots like a military rifle, but good enough for hunting.
A Bore Snake is a great option and would probably have saved the crowns of a lot of these nice little deer rifles over the years.
The carbine version is a very handy little rifle.
If you are looking at one, make sure that the rails inside the receiver are not rough and the action cycles smoothly. I believe it's the rails inside the receiver that get dirty and rough - causing a lot of gunsmith heartache.
If it's $250 or less and in good shape -- buy and enjoy!
July 21, 2007, 07:55 PM
My dad passed on it because he noticed nicks in the rails. He is now looking at a Browning A-Bolt in .300wsm.
July 21, 2007, 11:43 PM
Funny, I just bought a 742 in 30-06 myself. I was about to make a thread but I'll post it here.
My first 742 in .30-06 was gifted to me after my great-uncle passed. It's the one with a scope mount. I recently found an iron-sighted 742 also in .30-06 and decided to pick it up on a whim to keep the other one company. Maybe I'll find a fewmore one day when I open the safe?

Did this video help you?
Barkley Burker: great video thanks might want to set the hyperfocal distance on your camera so it is always in focus...
ChannelOneVideos: Thanks. This answered some questions. Do you know how much different the P85 would be to disassemble?
Gary Hart: Thanks for this video. However I do want to make a suggestion on the removal of the extractor. Use dental floss to hook the extractor to pull out and forward to avoid damaging the extractor as well as the slide. Other than that. Awesome video.
Dj Diym: I have a p94dc how do you remove the deroosterer arm in the same manor?
Joselbasurto: Thanks for the info on how to remove the firing pin on my P series Ruger pistol.
Thomas McKrell: Is it the same for the p89
Jason Bracetti: Thank you thank you and thank you.
Skipholiday: Good job. thank you
swbrotherton: tyler: i sent you a few pm's on this. anyone else concerned with his issue, i do believe he was easing the chamber shut and closing fully when he pulled the trigger. Mine does the same thing. I'm fairly certain the gun is not popping out of safety as i have never seen this happen with any firearm.
Tyler Christeson: I have only put 50 rounds through my P95. While cleaning it today I encountered a problem with the safety. After putting the gun on safe, when I pull the trigger once the slide moves forward ever so slightly. After I pull the trigger two or three more times it comes off safe and fires. Also, when I pull the slide back and the pull it back forward if it falls back into position too fast the hammer strikes immediately instead of the hammer staying roostered. Any suggestions?
swbrotherton: Jtsct: 1. What was I wrong about and 2. Lube in the pin chamber will gum it up. The lube and powder will combine and make a gooey paste. I've had a number of friends wonder why their gun won't perform and after inspection they had lubed the firing pin and spring. Only do this if you are storing the gun long term. The spring is not as stiff/powerful as you might think like a hammer spring.
jtsct: So there is no lube at all in the firing channel/pin?
jtsct: You're wrong, especially if you shot a lot.
swbrotherton: Whoever marked this for spam please learn what spam is. and bigwalt2990: If you are referring to this video "if it aint broke don't fix it." let me know how it works for you when you need your firearm to perform and it just won't because you didn't take tip top care of it. If not then I misunderstood and I'm sorry. The rule of thumb is, if you can clean it and maintain it easily, why not do it? BTW the Ruger P95 has a deroosterer only model as well as a manual safety. Google is your friend. :)
bigwalt2990: If it ain't broke, don't fix it..............mine doesnt have a safety btw, just two identical deroosterer levers, must be an older version? (who needs safeties anyways)
swbrotherton: Heck yeah. oil in the pin chamber will do it every time. Good to know this helped!
swbrotherton: I don't think you could hurt this thing if you tried. I've done this multiple times on a P95 and a P89. Still tickin'.
swbrotherton: Yessir, P95: might be a budget gun but it is built to take ABUSE. No frills means less points for it to fail at.
swbrotherton: Hey Tim, Yessir.
swbrotherton: Hey John Doe, Sorry for the late response, I have honestly tried to get the rear sights on a P95 off without a hammer and pin set but for the life of me couldn't. If I had the money to grab a suitable replacement firearm just in case the removal went south I would be glad to try it, but for now I am contracting IT work, which means no sick leave, benefits, etc. Plus it looks like it might be better to leave it to pros to zero sights. I am by no means a professional gunsmith. ;)

Fresh off the double good news that her 'Womanizer' single is Number One on the Billboard charts and her misdemeanor driving trial has ended in a hung jury, Britney Spears was spotted wearing a symbol of her troubled, turbulent recent past: a ring that her former paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib made for her.
TMZ.com snapped the comeback kid wearing the telltale bling, and reports that Ghalib has an identical ring as well.
Click here for photos of Spears.
Spears and Ghalib became an item during a time in which the singer shaved her head, dumped her manager, checked into a rehab center, and lost custody of her two young sons.
Recently, her career has appeared back on track, with a guest starring role on the sitcom 'How I met Your Mother,' her successful appearance at the MTV Music Awards, and good buzz surrounding the upcoming release of her album 'Circus.'

Cop featured on "Boston's Finest" commits suicide
Patrick Rogers, an 8-year veteran of the Boston PD killed himself - shocking his department and docudrama cast-mates
By PoliceOne Staff
DORCHESTER, Mass. — The season two premiere of the reality show "Boston's Finest", which details the work and personal lives of the Boston Police Department, was abruptly put on hold when word got out that one of the cast members and a Boston cop had apparently committed suicide.
Patrick Rogers, an 8-year veteran of the department and a native of Dorchester, took his own life, though it is unclear how.
Rogers was featured in several episodes of the first season of the docudrama, which is produced by Dorchester native Donnie Wahlberg, according to the Boston Herald.
"I am so deeply saddened tonight. My thoughts and prayers go out to a fallen brother of The Boston Police Dept.," Wahlberg tweeted Tuesday night.
The second season, which focuses on the officers who responded to the Boston Marathon bombings, was set to debut Tuesday night at the Revere Hotel in Dorchester, where Mayor Tom Menino and interim police Commissioner William Evans were expected at attend, according to the Metro.
The screening was canceled immediately after producers received news of Rogers' death.

IASH Winter School February 2014: Cultural Transfer - Culture as Transfer
Seminar Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
In a literal sense, "cultural transfer" refers to the "cultural mobility of objects" (Stephen Greenblatt): the global flow of commodities, concepts, words, images, persons, animals, money, weapons, drugs etc. Such a pragmatic notion may be the starting point for an interdisciplinary debate on alternative theories of "culture" in the humanities and social sciences.
Yet, "cultural transfer" implies not only the flow of things but also the fluidity of those who are engaged in their exchange. Every attempt to map landscapes of cultural transfer has to bear in mind that these landscapes are highly unstable and that places and borders, however imaginary they may be, are constantly 'on the move'. It has become increasingly difficult to identify origins and ends or even signposts and directions of cultural processes. Thus, culture itself may be read as transfer (Lutz Musner), as an ongoing negotiation. It is eternally becoming rather than being.
Demarcations of borders, however, are very real. Definitions of "cultures" prove highly effective and "imaginary communities" (Benedict Anderson) are potent political agents. This is why we cannot stop short at an abstract diagnosis of a rhizomatic game (Gilles Deleuze) of endless différance (Jacques Derrida). The analysis of cultural transfer and culture as transfer has to take into account the dramatic situations of contact zones, the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion as well as the conditions of selection, translation, adaption or mutation within unequal power relations. Furthermore, the analysis of cultural mobility has to acknowledge that the anthropocentric notion of the human as prime mover of objects and creator of meaning might be undermined by the agency of nonhuman life, inorganic matter and the various idiosyncrasies of the objects themselves.
The Winter School addresses a twofold question:
• How can we reconstruct and conceptualize concrete examples of cultural transfer?
• And how can we, with such examples in mind, reconsider culture as transfer?
Invited guests and the probable focus of their lecture:
Anil Bhatti (German Studies, School of Language, Literature & Culture Stud., Jawaharlal Nehru Univ. New Delhi) Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Transfer (India-Germany), Polyglotism, Similarity/Diversity
Hans Peter Hahn (Social Anthropology/Ethnology, Goethe University, Frankfurt)
Transforming Objects, Itineraries of the Material, Urban Anthropology, Museology, Migration, Globalization, Africa (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo) and beyond
Helga Mitterbauer (Austrian and German Lit., Dep. of Modern Languages and Cultural Stud., Univ. of Alberta)
Transcultural Studies, Cultural Transfers, Postcolonial Theory and Cultural Transfer, Relations between Austrian und (Central) European Literature, Migration in Literature
Marianne Sommer (History of Science/Cultural Studies, Dep. of Cultural and Science Studies, Univ. of Lucerne)
Biographies of Objects, Museology, Human Population Genetics, Imagined Communities, Evolution
Date: February 9 - 15 2014
The Winter School offers young doctoral and postdoctoral scholars a unique opportunity to contribute to a broader discussion with their own research and ideas. We particularly encourage applications from researchers from the humanities and the social sciences with a strong interest in theoretical debates in an interdisciplinary setting. Each morning session begins with a lecture given by one of the four international scholars, followed by responses and plenary discussions. These sessions prepare the ground for the parallel workshops in the afternoon which focus on key concepts and core texts the participants suggested in advance of the Winter School as particularly relevant to their own research. Posters visualize the participants' projects and foster informal exchange throughout the week.
IASH will cover your travel expenses as well as accommodation and meals at Schloss Münchenwiler. You will receive an e-reader with preparatory material and have the opportunity to present your research on the Winter School homepage and blog (http://wsblog.iash.unibe.ch). Most important of all, you are offered a stimulating environment conducive to state-of-the-art discussion of pressing scientific and societal questions. You will enter into exchange with senior scholars and peers, which will hopefully prove fruitful beyond the Winter School, not least by connecting you to an international network of like-minded scholars.
How to apply?
Please provide us with the following application material: • a letter of motivation, indicating how you expect to profit from participating in this Winter School and how you can contribute, in turn, to the discussions (mentioning your specific interest in the topic)
• a CV of max. two pages
• an abstract (500 words) of your current research project
• two referees we might contact
Please apply electronically (PDF) to Michael Toggweiler who is happy to answer your questions: firstname.lastname@example.com

Clean-air rules assailed as too much, too little
DENVER -- Hundreds of people across the country lined up Tuesday to tell the Environmental Protection Agency that its new rules for power-plant pollution either go too far or not far enough.
The agency is holding hearings this week in Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh and Washington on President Barack Obama's plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030, with 2005 levels as the starting point. The rules are intended to curb global warming.
Coal mines, electric utilities, labor unions, environmental groups, renewable energy companies, government agencies, religious and civil rights organizations and others sent representatives to the hearings.
John Kinkaid, a Moffat County, Colo., commissioner, told the EPA in Denver the rules would devastate his area, home to a major power plant.
"Energy is the lifeblood of our economy," he said. "Moffat County deserves better than to be turned into another Detroit, Michigan."
Retired coal miner Stanley Sturgill, of Harlan County, Ky., traveled to Denver to tell the EPA that coal-fired plants are crippling his health and the public's. Sturgill said he suffers from black lung and other respiratory diseases.
"The rule does not do nearly enough to protect the health of the front-line communities," he said. "We're dying, literally dying, for you to help us."
In Atlanta, Jim Doyle, president of Business Forward and a former Commerce Department official in the Clinton administration, said the benefits of fighting climate change -- and the extreme weather it is blamed for -- outweigh the potential costs. "Over the past four years, American factories have been disrupted by typhoons in Thailand, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, droughts in Texas, tornadoes in Kentucky, falling water levels across the Great Lakes and flooding in the Northeast," he said.
Others at the Atlanta hearing said the rules could raise electricity prices and cause job losses without significantly curtailing global carbon emissions. As U.S. utilities switch to natural gas, more U.S. coal is being shipped and burned overseas.

Professor of Archaeology Kathryn Bard has recently been invited to become a corresponding member of the Advisory Committee of Shanghai Archaeology Forum being launched under the auspices of the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The Committee consists of top scholars in archaeology and cultural heritage from all regions of the world.
Professor of History Louis Ferleger and economics graduate student Jacob Magid wrote an article that appeared on Time.com exploring the ongoing jobs and economic crisis in so-called distressed areas—metropolitan and micropolitan areas that have seen unemployment levels at least two percent above the national average for at least five years. Read the article.
Steven T. Katz, Slater Professor of Jewish and Holocaust Studies (Religion Department) and Director of the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies was recently invited to lecture in several European countries primarily in his role as Academic Advisor to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, a union of 31 countries that encourages Holocaust education, research and remembrance. In December 2012 Prof. Katz was in Liege, Belgium at the Plenary meeting of the IHRA. In January he was invited by the Spanish government to participate in the annual Holocaust Memorial ceremony in Madrid at the Parliament building (view photo). He was invited to light one of the six candles on the occasion of the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz and to give a lecture. He also met with senior officials of the ministries of education and justice. Following that, he went to Dublin at the invitation of the Irish government and spoke at their Holocaust memorial event in the Mayor's Palace in Dublin (view photo). He met with the Minister of Education and Justice and lectured at Trinity College and at the Irish-Jewish Historical Museum. He then went onto London for discussions with British officials and gave a lecture at the Wiener Library. In March, as a guest of the Greek government and the Thessaloniki Jewish community, he spoke at the official commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the deportation of the Jews from Thessaloniki and met with the Prime Minister of Greece Antonis Samaras (view photo) and the Mayor of Thessaloniki about creating Holocaust educational programs. In April, as a guest of the Hungarian government, he will be meeting with government officials in Budapest about Holocaust matters and recent antisemitic political activity. After that, as a guest of the Polish government, he will attend the "pre-opening" of the new Jewish Museum in Warsaw, meet with government officials on matters of mutual concern, and lecture in Warsaw at the Jewish Historical Association and in several venues in Krakow.
An exhibit based on the work of Professor of Biology Richard Primack will be on display at the Concord Museum through September 15. The exhibit explores Primack's work using the thorough seasonal observations of Thoreau to demonstrate that higher mean temperatures cause spring flowers to bloom sooner in a predictable pattern. The exhibit is titled "Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change." Primack, along with Concord Museum Curator David F. Wood, gave a talk on this topic on April 13 at the museum, located at 53 Cambridge Turnpike in Concord. Read a recent New York Times article on Primack's work.
Professor of Archaeology Curtis Runnels has been awarded a Cotsen Fellowship in Archaeology at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico for June-July to work on the following topic: "The Early Palaeolithic in the Aegean Islands."
Assistant Professor of Astronomy Andrew West has received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The CAREER awards are the NSF's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations.

Joey Bosa's holdout turned ugly Wednesday when the San Diego Chargers pulled their contract offer to the first-round draft pick and said they'll restructure a new deal that would reflect him playing less than a full season.
Bosa has missed all of training camp as his agents and the team wrangle over how much of his $17 million signing bonus he'll get up front, as well as offset language in the case he gets cut.
The Chargers were counting on the former Ohio State star to help bolster their pass rush and bring some excitement to a season that could be pivotal to their future in San Diego.
It's not clear whether Bosa, the No. 3 pick overall, is willing to sit out the...

Founded in 1881 by Mr. & Mrs. W. T. Whitaker on 40 acres of land located (at that time) "one mile south-east of Pryor Creek, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory".
After the Civil War, the large influx of non-Indians into the Cherokee Nation created yet another problem. Frontier life being very harsh and primitive, as well as being without adequate medical care, cost many lives of these families. While there were facilities maintained by the Cherokee Nation for the care of the Indian orphans, the question arose as to what to do with the non-Indian children who survived their parents. One, by two,-- by one, they were taken into the household of the benevolently minded W. T. Whitaker family. As "their family" grew, so did the needs. This was the founding of Whitaker Children's Home.
There was also a lack of schools in Indian Territory for non-Indian children. the Whitakers provided for this with teachers, classrooms and training facilities. The Home grew to include 590 acres, and thirty buildings. It was almost self-supporting in providing for their daily needs; a full dairy, raising their own beef, hogs and chickens, planting, raising and preserving food for both the residents and the livestock. As the children grew up they took on their share of the work-load and provided for their younger "Whitaker brothers and sisters".
There was a special building where the older girls learned to sew by making not only their own clothes, but the clothes of the other children who were either young or (in the case of the boys) had other assigned duties.
As the children grew up and left, they left with the blessings of Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker -- and with all of the education and training to become productive and self sufficient adults.
There is a small cemetery that is maintained for the children who died while residing at the home. The original tombstone has been maintained, but is weather worn. The people of Pryor copied the entries and have a new stone located nearby.

The orphanage facility was accepted by the State of Oklahoma in 1908, and was operated for many years as a home for dependent and neglected children. In more recent times the site has been used as a military-type youth training facility and a satellite unit of Rogers State College, bringing college-credit courses and training to the people of this area.
Many of the former residents maintain communications with other members of the Whitaker Home Family and there have been several reunions held at the facility in recent years.
We bless the Spirits of Mr. & Mrs. Whitaker, for unselfishly giving of their love and care to these children. They looked to "need", -- not to the "color" or "race".

COMPANY NEWS; It's Called Targeted Stock; Shun It, Some Experts Say
By STEPHANIE STROM
Published: July 12, 1994
If some of Wall Street's financial engineers have their way, an exotic corporate financing tool known as targeted stock will be coming soon to a company near you.
When it does, some experts advise, run for the hills.
That is what many shareholders of the Kmart Corporation did when they voted down a proposal by the ailing retail company to issue targeted stock -- shares whose dividends would be linked to the performance of its specialty-store units but would have no guaranteed claim on their assets.
And based on the experience of a handful of earlier targeted-stock plans, the Kmart shareholders may have acted wisely, because the benefits of this technique are dubious.
"There really is no excuse for targeted stock," said Bruce Greenwald, professor of finance and economics at the Columbia University business school. "It is absolutely the purest form of financial engineering, and it yields no benefit at all."
Championed by investment bankers, targeted stock has gained a lot more attention in recent years. The most popular argument in favor of the mechanism is that it increases shareholders' value. And unlike spinoffs, targeted stocks help the parent company duck a potentially huge tax bill for capital gains.
Also known as alphabet or letter stock, targeted stock trades just like plain vanilla stock. It has its own stock symbol and may or may not pay a dividend, just like regular stock.
But it is not regular stock.
Targeted shares give their holders nothing more than a reason to believe they have a financial stake in a subsidiary of the company that issued the shares. If the subsidiary performs, the company delivers on its promise to pay out a souped-up dividend.
But because the subsidiary's assets and liabilities are mingled with those of the parent company, that dividend could vanish and the stock's price could fall the moment the parent company decides to divert the unit's earnings to satisfy its own liabilities.
Large institutional shareholders are snubbing such deals. They like to look at a company's underlying collateral to calculate what their investment might fetch in a worst-case situation. That analysis is impossible on targeted stocks because the corporate parent has first rights to any assets should financial problems arise, even if those problems crop up in a distant unit.
"It's sort of viewed as a mongrel that makes the valuation analysis quite difficult, so the technique is suspect with many large shareholders, including this one," said Kurt Schact, director of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, which has led the shareholder revolt at Kmart. "We don't own any targeted stock."
Misconceptions arise because targeted stocks bear a striking but deceptive resemblance to shares that are often issued by subsidiaries that have made a clean break from their former parents. These spinoffs, brand-new companies whose shares are backed by their own assets and liabilities, offer investors "pure plays" on some industry or niche -- that is, an oil company stock or a steel company stock but not a combination of both in one stock.
The class E stock of General Motors, the granddaddy of all targeted stocks, is the most frequently cited example of a letter stock that has greatly maximized shareholders' value. In that 1984 deal, G.M. issued special shares intended to reflect the fortunes of the newly purchased Electronic Data Systems unit, primarily as a way of giving the founder of E.D.S., Ross Perot, a continuing stake in that business, and that business alone. The price of class E shares has increased by more than 200 percent in the decade since they were issued.
How much of that increase was related to the novel structure is anyone's guess. What many shareholders fail to grasp is that the class E shares are ultimately an investment in G.M. The auto maker, not E.D.S. or its class E shareholders, owns the assets of the computer services subsidiary. In the unlikely event that G.M. ever slid into serious financial trouble, it would be free to raid the assets of E.D.S.
Thus, owning class E shares is not really a pure play on E.D.S. And analysts and investors say that being a targeted stock was one of the things that scotched a merger between E.D.S. and Sprint earlier this year.
At least two recent targeted stock proposals -- one to separate RJR Nabisco's food group from its tobacco business, and the other to segregate Kmart's specialty-store earnings -- have been tabled indefinitely.
Other targeted stock offerings, including those of Ralston-Purina and USX, were done with another purpose in mind -- as a way to apply a tourniquet to a troubled business. They have generally not fared as well as the E.D.S. deal. Two Plans Tabled
That was the case, for example, when the USX Corporation's languishing steel business seemed to be obscuring the value of the company's healthy oil subsidiary. For each of their shares in the steel and oil conglomerate, USX's investors received one share of stock tied to the performance of the company's Marathon Oil unit and one-fifth of a share of stock that represented its steel operations.
Before the swap, USX shares traded at about $28. Now, the combined package of targeted stocks that shareholders received trades at about $23.50.

i need advice immediately! please! i think i ovulated a week or so ago, i suddenly had thick sticky mucus comming from my (this will be personal, im not an easily unpersonal woman) vagina. it came out alot one day and a little the next. ive seen it before. and i think it was my fertile mucus, and my husband and i had sex the day after that fluid was seen and 2 days before it showed up. i also just had implanon removed and it was a week before this fluid showed up. it reminded me of egg whites. is that fertile mucus? if it is should i be expecting a positive pregnancy test in a few weeks? i also had sore, very tender, breasts and then a small bit of cramping for only one day. at the end of the day i wiped and found a little bit of very light pink blood. and then no more cramps or blood after that. now i have really sensitive nipples, kind of itchy but painful more than itchy,and bumps around the areola. please give me your best answers. my husband has extremely fertile sperm i mean tested and was off the charts good. I know its possible but weve been through this once before, i would love to be pregnant and so would he. please help!:confused:
hi! i need somehelp!
Hi! Welcome! I think your situation sounds very promising. Unfortunately, even when you get everything just perfect, your chances of conceiving each month are about 20%, so nothing is guaranteed. However, I've seen quite a few couples get pg on their first or second attempt. Sometimes it does take a few months, even in the best of circumstances, so don't let it discourage you if this isn't the month. I will say that based on the information in your post, it sounds like you have a very good shot!! So, I'll be excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
Are you charting or temping or any kind of monitoring?
:goodluck: I am glad that you've decided to share your TTC journey with us.
thanks so much! and no we arent charting or monitoring. we just got off the bc and my doc said it would take at least 8 weeks for my cycle to be back to normal but it wares off 3 days after removal. and my research says once its gone your body will produce an extra amount of eggs every now and then until it balances out. so we figured with the odds itd be a while. but we are so hoping to be pregnant. it would be perfect! and thanks for the encouragement. im so happy to be at this point in my life, the part where we say " lets have a babyand love it with all our hearts. lets start trying!" it means alot to have a place like this to go through the trying and the pregnancy and the planning stuff.

Minnesota Raising the Bar for School Foods
Posted by Jennifer Seymour, CDC Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity on November 18, 2011
In Minnesota, more and more schools are finding that salad bars are a popular way to offer kids a rainbow of healthy foods. "Kids love it. They get to choose what they want and how much. It doesn't take much to get them onboard," said Lisa Gemlo, Fruit and Vegetable Coordinator and Farm to School Planner for the Minnesota Department of Health. Lisa is working with the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative to help schools throughout Minnesota get salad bars and stock them with delicious produce items. From a health standpoint, this is wonderful. "We know that the majority of Minnesota school-aged children do not eat the daily recommended servings of fruit and vegetables. Salad bars provide an easy and proven way to get kids to eat more of these foods. In the end, this builds healthier students who are ready to learn," said Gemlo.
