gay past

Friday, July 16, 2004
The Atlanta History Center hopes to tell the
story of “Atlanta’s Unspoken Past” in an oral
history project that culminates with an exhibit
coinciding with next year’s Atlanta Pride
festival.
“This project will preserve the personal histories
of a shrinking, often anonymous population —
histories that are fundamental to community
memory and identity — while the opportunity
exists,” organizes promise in a flier announcing
the project, launched this month.

'Rising Tide,' the history of P&G, bears
lessons to lift all boats
By Cliff Peale
Enquirer staff writer
Among the most important lessons small companies can learn from
Procter & Gamble's 167-year history are a willingness to take risks,
an ability to learn from mistakes and a nonstop focus on the
consumer.
Those lessons are front and center in Rising Tide, the new P&G
corporate history published this summer by Harvard Business
School Press. Author Davis Dyer and P&G executives presented
those lessons Thursday to a group gathered by the Greater
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.

New letter by Lincoln uncovered
Sheds light on evolution of his stand on slavery
By LISA KERNEK
STAFF WRITER
A Chicago manuscript dealer is selling a newly discovered letter
in which Abraham Lincoln argued that the Republican Party
should strengthen its antislavery stance.
Lincoln wrote the letter in Springfield on Oct. 9, 1859, to Ohio
congressman Thomas Corwin. The letter had been unknown to
scholars until Corwin's family sought an appraisal for it this year
at The Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in Chicago.

Gray law firm picking up
pieces from fire disaster

Email this story.
Piles of crumbled red bricks litter the ground around an
ancient, two-story shell, the most visible reminder of the
morning that Fred Gray watched decades of African-American
history go up in smoke.
The fire that destroyed the law offices of the famed civil
rights attorney and his partners during the early hours of
Feb. 10 consumed the original supporting documentation he
used in writing his book "Bus Ride to Justice."

Got Any Protection?
Protect your media—or, for extra revenue, your clients’ media—from peril
by Van Carlisle
Business-savvy producers are constantly looking for ways to increase revenue by offering a la carte production services, such
as sound-stage rentals, editing services and duplication services.
One especially lucrative extra service that you might not have considered, but customers increasingly need, is off-site, longterm
and archival storage of master and backup copies of tapes and discs. Think about it: If you were to invest thousands of
dollars to produce content, wouldn’t you want to ensure that a master copy is in a safe, accessible place in the event that
copies of the tapes or discs are destroyed?

On the trail of Bush's
missing past
By Jim Spencer
Denver Post columnist
No one messed up.
That's what the spokesman for the Defense Finance
and Accounting Service in Denver told me.
I had asked him if the agency punished anyone for
destroying George W. Bush's Air National Guard pay
records.

Bond deal records discovered
Misfiled documents fail to answer some questions
By DAVE UMHOEFER and STEVE SCHULTZE
Posted: July 16, 2004
Milwaukee County officials announced Friday that missing bid records on a $100 million bond deal had
turned up Friday, one day after criminal investigators and auditors announced their own search.
First sought 18 days ago by the Journal Sentinel but declared
missing Tuesday, the documents were misfiled in a cabinet
outside the office of the employee who coordinated the bid evaluation that
tapped Bear Stearns as lead underwriter on the bond deal, officials said.

ROCHESTER, Minn., July 16 (AScribe Newswire) -- The paper trail is stopping for

improve patient care."

Mayo ends use of paper for
medical records
Scott D. Smith
Staff reporter
The Mayo Clinic in Rochester announced Friday that the paper trail
ended for outpatients. From now on, the medical records resulting
from nearly 1.5 million outpatient visits per year will be created and
stored electronically.
Electronic record keeping gives physicians immediate access to a
patient's records, including physician notes, orders for tests and
medications -- as well as laboratory and test results -- Mayo said in a
press release.
