• Alex Kotlowitz, "Blocking the transmission of violence", single page, May 2008, New York Times: "CeaseFir e's founder, Gary Slutkin, is an epidemiologist and a physician who for 10 years battled infectious diseases in Africa. He says that violence directly mimics infections like tuberculosis and AIDS, and so, he suggests, the treatment ought to mimic the regimen applied to these diseases: go after the most infected, and stop the infection at its source. [...] Slutkin wants to shift how we think about violence from a moral issue (good and bad people) to a public health one (healthful and unhealthful behavior). [...] The fact that there's no vaccine or medical cure for violence doesn't dissuade him. He points out that in the early days of AIDS, there was no treatment either. In the short run, he's just trying to halt the spread of violence. In the long run, though, he says he hopes to alter behavior and what's considered socially acceptable.&qu ot;
• Andy Coghlan, "Treat killing like a disease to slash shootings", New Scientist: "Shooting s and killings in deprived areas of Chicago and Baltimore have plummeted by between 41 and 73 per cent thanks to a programme that treats violence as if it is an infectious disease. [...] 'Violence gets transmitted the same way as other communicable diseases, so we train "violence interruptors&q uot; to prevent escalation,� 39; says Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of CeaseFire. 'They change the norm from "violence is what's expected of me" to "violence will make me look stupid",& #039; says Slutkin. [...] A three-year independent evaluation of CeaseFire published by the Department of Justice last year found that in Chicago, it reduced violence in every community where it was deployed." ;

• Mediation Conversations: Taxes and Divorce | Equitable Mediation Services: For the most part the distribution of assets which occur due to a divorce action are tax-free but once one of you goes to sell or convert those assets after they have been transferred, there may be taxes, and rather substantial ones, so it?s important that you have a good look at exactly what you are getting in your memorandum of understanding.
