The Agriculture Mediation Program is program initially authorized by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 P.L. 100 233, Title V, and recently amended by P.L. 106 472, Sec. 306 7 U.S.C. 5101 , to facilitate the use of mediation to settle disputes arising in conjunction with USDA actions. If agreement is not reached through mediation, all parties remain free to pursue other available administrative appeals or legal actions. Typical areas of dispute include farm loans, farm and conservation programs, wetland determinations, rural water loan programs, grazing on national forest lands, and pesticides. This program is administered by the Farm Service Agency FSA .

The National Mediation Board NMB is an independent agency of the United States government that coordinates labor management relations within the U.S. railroads and airlines industries. History The board was established by the 1934 amendments to the Railway Labor Act of 1926 and is headed by a three person panel of Presidential appointees. NMB programs provide an integrated dispute resolution process to meet the statutory objective of minimizing strike action strikes and other work stoppages in the airline and railroad industries. The NMB s integrated processes specifically are designed to promote three statutory goals The prompt and orderly resolution of disputes arising out of the negotiation of new or revised collective bargaining agreements The effectuation of employee rights of self organization where a representation dispute exists and The prompt and orderly resolution of disputes over the interpretation or application of existing agreements. Under the Railway Labor Act, an airline or railroad union contract does not expire it remains in force and amendable until a new contract is ratified by the union members, or until either side exercises self help, which could be a strike action strike by employees or a Lockout industry lockout by management. Before this can happen, the NMB appointed mediation mediator must declare an impasse in negotiations, which starts a 30 day cooling off period , during which negotiations continue. Once the 30 day period has passed, either side is free to exercise self help, unless the President of the United States President authorizes a Presidential Emergency Board. Congress of the United States Congress also has the power to impose a contract, although this has rarely happened in recent years.

Image Serutan 2.jpg right thumb 300px Serutan was the sponsor of A.L. Alexander s Mediation Board A.L. Alexander s Mediation Board was a 1940s radio program in which private citizens with personal problems received advice from a panel of educators and sociologists. Launched in 1939, the series borrowed elements from host A.L. Alexander s earlier 1935 36 program of legal advice, A.L. Alexander s Goodwill Court . Alexander was once described by Time magazine Time as earnest, voluble, begoggled Albert Louis Alexander, onetime divinity student, actor, social worker, legman, radio announcer. ref name woe In the early 1940s, Alexander s show was carried by Mutual in a 45 minute format, with a trio of experts dispensing advice on such topics as romance, marriage and financial woes. Sponsored by Serutan , the program was heard on Mondays at 9 15pm or 9 30pm until it moved to Sundays at 8pm or 8 15pm. In 1943, the show was shortened to 30 minutes, as noted by Time The particular appeal of Alexander s show lies in the fact that he gets both complainants husband v. wife, etc. together at the microphone and lets them battle it out. About 2,500 worried people write him every week. Others telephone. Some phone regularly. One of these is a woman who calls up just to tell him to be a good boy and eat his spinach. Mediator Alexander last week found himself in need of mediation. His 45 minute program had been cut by Mutual to a half hour, which makes a better package for would be sponsors. This was just half the time allotted to his chief rival, the Good Will Hour s John J. Anthony, who omnisciently resolves all problems with no help from a jury. Struggling to figure how to pack enough material into his shortened broadcast, Alexander observed This change presents a big problem to me. Well, advised a studioman, why don t you call John J.

Matrix biologists usually do both basic research into structure and cellular interactions of the ECM and applied research into how these parameters are altered in disease or other pathological states. Matrix biologists can thus specialise in a particular class of molecule collagen proteoglycans elastin integrins fibrillins matrix metalloproteinases Specialities can also be by the particular ECM under study cartilage skin bone tumours Many matrix biologists also work closely with medical specialists and specialise in a particular disease or pathology rheumatology studying the change in ECM in cartilage and synovium in joints from rheumatoid or osteoarthritis patients orthopedics studying pathological and traumatically injured cartilage and tendon oncology studying how tumours and other cancers grow new ECM, metastasise and invade ECM of other tissues orthodontics studying how bone remodels around teeth dermatology studying ECM involved in wound healing and disease states such as scleroderma There are many matrix biology societies who hold meetings regularly all over the world.
