		<title>Information, Elder Mediation, and Difficult Decisions</title>

Brody titled &#8220;Frank Talk About Care at Life&#8217;s End.&#8221;  The article covered some of the thorny issues surrounding &#8220;the medical, humanitarian and economic value of helping terminally ill patients and and their families navigate treatment options as they approach the  end of life.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mediator, Negotiator, Diplomat?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The upcoming &#8220;direct talks&#8221; in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process are in the news.  Some stories reference &#8220;mediators&#8221;, some &#8220;negotiators&#8221;, some &#8220;diplomats&#8221;.  So what&#8217;s in a name?

		<title>Russian Mediation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We don&#8217;t always think of Russia as a nation with a strong emphasis on enlightened dispute resolution processes or a desire to craft conflict resolution procedures that embody respect and equality for participants. So, a recent online article in &#8220;The Voice of Russia&#8221; caught my eye.
According to the July 30, 2010 article, a new law [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mediation as TV drama?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TV pilots cover a wide range of topics; some reach production and some don&#8217;t.  One that caught my eye actually involves mediation.  Backstage.com describes it this way:
Facing Kate (Drama, USA Network) A top litigator, frustrated with the bureaucracy and injustice she witnesses in the legal system, decides to become the ultimate anti-lawyer: a mediator.

		<description><![CDATA[In yesterday&#8217;s New York Times, John Schwartz&#8217;s article, &#8220;More Delicate Diplomacy for the Overseer of the Compensation Fund,&#8221; described Kenneth Feinberg&#8217;s swing through Louisiana.  Feinberg is handling the BP compensation fund, in much the same way as he has done before,  following the 9/11 attacks and various mass tort situations.

		<title>Conflict avoidance and mediation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems a natural instinct for some (most?) people to try to avoid conflict. They will excuse bad behavior, wait for things to get better on their own (with no real reason for a bad situation to improve), engage in denial, learn to live with it,make unreasonable compromises, etc., etc.
