In 2007 I ended a 7-year span of employment with Internews Network, working in the area of Internet and ICT policy, with direct application in field projects in about 20 developing countries. The objective of these initiatives was for the most part to assist countries in redefining and evolving their policy environment — their legal system, their regulatory structure, and related policies — so that the benefits of the Internet, as well those deriving from related ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) can be more rapidly and more fully realized by all sectors of society.
Since then, I have been more involved for the most part with both the Internet Governance Forum series established in 2006 and with ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, I am just finishing my first three year term as a member of the Board of Directors, and I have recently been selected to serve a second three year term. Both of these activities have been fulfilling and have continued my involvement with the development and spread of the Internet for development. I have also been a consultant for the Web Foundation during this time, and I have just completed authoring and editing a book for them, Accelerating Development Using the Web: Empowering Poor and Marginalized Populations.
In addition, I involve myself in a variety of consulting assignments, and am looking from time to time for new and interesting projects. I look for new activities that meet the following criteria:
I expect to continue to maintain an active involvement with my profession, engaging in a mix of entrepreneurial activity and pro bono contributions. These activities rest on a base of computing, networking, and communications technologies and apply to education and to economic and social development.
I remain committed to helping to spread the Internet to and within developing countries and developing regions of the world and helping people to exploit it, thereby improving education, government, health practice and services, and opportunities for local entrepreneurship activity. This blend of activities continues the work in developing countries that I've been involved in more or less continuously since 1973.

In April 2008, we moved to 2182 Birch Way in Woodstock, Vermont, where we live in a fairly modern house on almost 3 acres of land and a beautiful view of the Vermont mountains. We share our land with our dog, Samantha, a significant number of moles, some groundhogs, a variety of deer who commute up and down our road and across our meadow, and something we haven't seen yet but which occasionally makes loud noises in the middle of the night.
Previously, from 1990 to 2007 and from 1973 to 1986, we lived at 64 Sweet Briar Road in Stamford, Connecticut, in a house originally built originally as two room saltbox in 1780 by Nathan Lounsbery and enlarged several times since then. We sold the house in 1986 when we moved to the Chicago area, and we were fortunate enough to be able to buy it again when we moved back to the New York area in 1990. It is one of 20-30 pre-revolutionary houses still in existence in Stamford, and was plaqued by the Stamford Bicentennial Commission in 1976.
My wife Ann graduated from Mt. Holyoke College in 1963, and we were married in 1970. She attended the Maxwell School of Syracuse University and obtained an M.P.A. degree after completing a year of field work in India. She later obtained advanced training in hospital administration at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Her career was in the field of social services, and her last position was Executive Director of the Scofield Manor Retirement Facility of the Stamford Housing Authority. She had previously been appointed by the Mayor as Chair of the Social Services Commission for the City of Stamford during 1998-2002. She also served on Boards of several local not-for-profit social service agencies. Since moving to Vermont, she has immersed herself in Woodstock activities, becoming co-chair of the Woodstock Rotary program committee, a member of the Garden Club, as well as joining the Boards of the Norman Williams Library and the Pentangle Arts Association.
Dan works for Mercy Corps, a global humanitarian agency with operations in 35+ countries. He's currently the lead content person on the six-member Internet marketing team, which means he writes and edits most of Mercy Corps' fundraising emails and coordinates stories on the organization's website and what gets published on its Facebook page and Twitter feed. His work there since 2005 has taken him to some rather interesting places, including Colomia, Tajikistan, Palestine, Sri Lanka and South Sudan. Molly reently worked for a number of years for New Seasons Market, a chain of Portland-area grocery stores that's keen on promoting local selections. She worked her way up in the produce department, and until recently coordinated the floral departments at New Seasons' nine stores. They met in Atlanta, where Dan was a freelance journalist and Molly worked for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and moved to Portland in 2000. For three years starting in August 2001, they owned and operated an all-vegetarian restaurant, The Purple Parlor, on North Mississippi Avenue.
Our daughter Kate graduated in 1998 from the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and is now living in the San Francisco Bay area and pursuing a career there. After completing her Masters Degree in Holistic Health Education from JFK University, Kate took a solo journey through South India for four months and returned to study Ayurvedic Medicine with a traditional gurukula in Berkeley, CA. As a student of Vedika Global, she is deep in her studies while coordinating the the school's low-cost Ayurvedic Community Clinic, Vedika Jyoti. She is on the Board of Directors for Axis Dance Company, a physically integrated dance company in Oakland, CA, and and continues to work at Clif Bar & Co., providing massage therapy and meditation instruction through their corporate wellness program. She has a private practice, offers workshops on Mindfulness in the Workplace and Ayurvedic Approaches to Chronic Pain.
Kate and her partner, Charles Keatts, are the proud parents of Abhaya Rose Keatts, born June 26, 2011.

Executive Director, GIPI. The Global Internet Policy Initiative (GIPI) was a joint initiative of the Center for Democracy and Technology" and Internews Network. The objective of the initiative has been to assist countries in redefining and evolving their policy environment -- their legal system, their regulatory structure, and other policies -- so that the benefits of the Internet, as well those deriving from related ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) can be more rapidly and more fully realized by all sectors of the society. At its height, GIPI projects were operating with full time local coordinators in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia. Tajikistan, Vietnam, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. The 2004 GIPI Annual Report describes the cumulative results of these projects.

Director, Network Services, 1999-2000 . . Information Technology Services. Network Services is one of the major units within Information Technology Services, which was formed in 1999 by a fusion of all centrally funded groups at NYU delivering computing and communications services to the University. NYU-NET, NYU's multiprotocol routed data network contains over 25,000 nodes, uses a fiber based infrastructure, and is connected at 155 Mbps to the commercial Internet and also at 155 Mbps to Internet-2, with links to both MCI's vBNS and Abilene. Network Services manages the collection of servers providing basic network services such as e-mail, Web services, FTP, and related services. Network Services manages the NYU-NET backbone and linkages to our Internet providers, and proposes and enforces security policy and management of security events. Network Services' data technicians manage additions and changes to the network infrastructure through the specification and installation of vertical and horizontal transmission media in university buildings and all residence halls.
Director, Academic Computing Facility, 1990-1999 . . Until 1999, the Academic Computing Facility was NYU's centrally funded support unit for computing and networking activities. Among other things, it included multiple shared central systems, microcomputer laboratories, and network services used for instruction and research. ACF's networking group also provided local area network consultation, installation, and integration.
During this period, the ACF evolved from a relatively narrow, technical, systems-driven support organization into one with effective distributed managerial leadership and strong customer orientation serving the majority of the university community. Specific initiatives accomplished included establishing an arts technology studio and technical support group, support for humanities computing, expanding distributed support services, networking student residence halls, establishing an Information Services group for managing and evolving the campus electronic information space, establishing a Center for Applied Parallel Computing, establishing a multi-access Help Center, and establishing an Innovation Center for faculty exploration and development. Staff structure and physical plant were reorganized, and an active program of courses, workshops, seminars and colloquia was initiated. The ACF underwent several self-initiated external reviews and was actively involved in a faculty process of planning for academic computing, contributing to restructuring of governance, advisory, and cost allocation mechanisms, and ultimately to the restructuring of information technology as a whole at NYU, resulting in the creation of the Information Technology Services Division at NYU.

You need time to think
You tell him to make sure he can move on

You like the fact you got him wrapped around you finger
if only you can what you do to him
how much he misses you when your gone
i hate you to the core of me

This review is from: Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3MP Full Frame CMOS with 1080P Full-HD Video Mode Digital SLR Camera - Body Only
Pros: This camera is the best performing 5D currently. It will do anything you need as long as you know what you are doing. I needed a full frame camera as my business has grown and my 50D was aging. I was not looking to get this but when I received a 20% off promo, I checked all other websites to see if the price had dropped and it had not. So I jumped on the offer as it was a very good business decision. Been playing with it and I made a good choice, a camera that will last tech wise for 5 years.
Cons: The reason for the 1 egg, is because shipping. I received the box that was 4 times the size of the product. When I picked it up the product inside the box slide till it hit the sidewall. I then opened up the box to reviled one 8 inch piece of packing paper (newspaper would have been thicker) so basicly the product was slamming around in this overside non correctly packaged box. If this was a cable or other non power or breakable item I would be fine, however a $3500 camera packaged like this, shame on the person and the quality control dept. for allowing this, and believe my its not one person that does this, this is the company that allows it to happen. I should have known as last year I ordered a hard drive and same thing, big box no packaging. I was hoping that it was resolved but I guess not. I first made sure the camera was working and so far no issues, I am worried that it might have to go into repair sooner than normal because of the way it was shipped to me. So I will just cross my fingers.
Other Thoughts: I would not buy a lens from Newegg because of this exact issue, I am not alone here with the shipping issues, and why they don't correct it is beyond me, or its just the old way to save a dollar and just take back what breaks, in my option how much more does it cost to use the correct size box and maybe 4 times as much paper or bubble packing, thats all it would take. My company uses a off site shipping system also and had these types of issues in the beginning, since we have corrected such shipping issues and have less return issues as it arrives correct the first time.READ FULL REVIEW

The full list and related stories appear online at 100 Best Companies to Work For and in the print edition of FORTUNE available March 7, 2016.
"Each of our employees contributes to Mayo Clinic's recognition as one of the nation's 100 best companies to work for," says John H. Noseworthy, M.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic. "We are honored to receive this recognition and congratulate our employees for their commitment to excellence."
To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with Great Place to Work to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Results of the survey are available at Great Rated!

The other one-third of the score is based on the company's responses to the Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, methods of internal communication, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.

"In spite of the odds, the Christians [of Sudan] are 'doing something' about their situation, they are standing up against the evil of Islam. . . not only fighting for survival, but fighting to win back that nation for Christ." – Derek Hammond, missionary affiliated with South African pro-apartheid group, Frontline Fellowship
Part I:Sudan 'Anti-slavery' campaign is outgrowth of pro-Israel lobby
Part II:Christian 'slave redeemers' linked to pro-apartheid militants
Part III:American Muslims in false dilemma over Sudan war
Iviews.com has learned that Christian "slave redeemers" who are allied with Sudanese rebels have close links to militant South African missionary groups with ties to the former apartheid government of South Africa.
Swiss-based Christian Solidarity International (CSI) is one of the most prominent missionary groups involved in the Sudanese war. CSI portrays the conflict as a war imposed by the Muslim and Arab North to forcibly convert a black African Christian South. "The Government of Sudan is waging a 'Holy War' to Islamize by force the ethnically and religiously diverse country," reads CSI literature. Experts say that while religion plays a role in the conflict, this view of the war is narrow and simplistic.
The dominant rebel Sudanese militia is the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). The SPLA claims to be defending the population of South Sudan from Khartoum's army and from Islamization. "Though its members claim to be 'Christians' resisting Islamization, they have behaved like an occupying army, killing, raping and pillaging," wrote the New York Times.
CSI has publicly embraced the SPLA. In March of this year, the United Nations stripped CSI of its UN accreditation after the group invited SPLA commander John Garang to represent it in a meeting before the UN Commission on Human Rights. Garang gave what the U.S. representative called "an intemperate speech" about military matters, then distributed his remarks on SPLA letterhead.
CSI "allowed themselves to be used as a Trojan horse for a group that expresses very different goals than the United Nations," a UN source told iviews.com.
Using money raised by Charles Jacobs' American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) and others, CSI sends its activists to South Sudan to pay for the release of South Sudanese civilians captured by militias allied with Khartoum. It calls the practice "slave redemption." The operations are organized and protected by the SPLA.
CSI says that to date it has paid for the release of 11,147 Sudanese. The tactic has been condemned by UNICEF and others, who say buying captives does not address the roots of the problem and actually encourages the taking of slaves as a profit-making venture.
Some observers suggest that the money raised in the United States for "slave redemption" may help finance members of the SPLA. Charles Omandi, an official of the Sudan Catholic Information Office of the Sudanese Diocese of Rumbek, told iviews.com:
"…the whole thing is organised by the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). One long serving European priest, who did not want to be named for security reasons said: 'How can the CSI be sure that the SPLA officials are not manipulating them for selfish ends when even the translators who help them transact the deals are given to them by the movement?'"
One of CSI's top officials is Gunnar Wiebalck, a white South African in charge of disaster aid at the group's international headquarters in Switzerland. Along with CSI activist John Eibner, Wiebalck is a high-profile participant in CSI's "slave redemption" missions.
Wiebalck is also the former executive secretary of South Africa-based United Christian Action (UCA). UCA is an umbrella body of militant right-wing Christian groups that defended white minority rule during the apartheid era. A secret South African army document revealed in 1997 before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission identified UCA as a covert propaganda project of the Apartheid government's security apparatus. UCA's main role was to combat anti-apartheid activism.
UCA zealously attacked all activities that it saw as threatening to the apartheid system. The group demonstrated when Archbishop Desmond Tutu became the first black primate (title for a ranking clergy member) of the Anglican Church of South Africa. UCA demanded that security forces arrest a group of white anti-apartheid Christian activists who defied official segregation by traveling to a black township for Bible study. The activists had tried, with the trip, to break down social and psychological barriers created by apartheid.
And when it was rumored that the government was contemplating the release of jailed anti-apartheid leader (and future Noble Peace Prizewinner and South African president) Nelson Mandela, UCA circulated 12,000 flyers demanding he be kept in jail. "Time is short. Mandela could be released before Christmas," UCA warned.
Asked whether Wiebalck should repudiate his pro-apartheid past, CSI's American spokesman said he disagreed with iviews.com's characterization of UCA.
Wiebalck is only one player in a web of support by veteran South African, pro-apartheid activists for Sudan's rebels.
CSI directs reporters to the web site http://vitrade.com for more information about the evils of Western companies that invest in the country. The site says it is operated by ViTrade Research, a "non-affiliated, non-religious, independent financial risk analysis and research company with global expertise as international commodity traders, fraud investigators, economists, bank regulators and examiners, and global risk managers and consultants."
In reality, there is no corporate record of the existence of a "ViTrade," other than a California firm that lost its corporate status in 1993. The Indian Ocean Newsletter says the site "functions, in fact, thanks to gifts from a few individuals."
Vitrade.com is operated by Dennis Bennett, a former banker and financial risk analyst. He is credited with being a driving force behind a campaign to force American pension funds to sell their holdings in the Canadian oil company Talisman Energy Inc., which invests in Sudan. Bennett helped compile the list of pension funds holding shares in Talisman.
Bennett is also a leader of In Touch Mission International (ITMI), a Christian missionary group based in Tempe, Arizona. Bennett told iviews.com he is project director of ITMI's Blue Nile Project, which he says delivers bibles and hymnals to southern Sudan.
ITMI is the American arm of the South Africa-based ultra-right missionary group Frontline Fellowship. Frontline Fellowship activists have made dozens of trips to South Sudan, where they say they "smuggle Bibles" to Christian Sudanese. ITMI collects money for Frontline Fellowship and serves as its U.S. base of operations (Frontline Fellowship lists ITMI's phone number on its web site in its contact information, and ITMI solicits donations for the group on its web site).
The chairman of Frontline Fellowship is Peter Hammond, a former South African army sniper and intelligence officer. Hammond, the son-in-law of ITMI president Bill Bathman, formed Frontline Fellowship on a South African military base in Namibia, drawing on ex-Rhodesian commando units for members. Frontline Fellowship literature called the South African army und,er apartheid a "missionary force" which must be supported. He is also the , current director of UCA (of CSI's Gunnar Wiebalck), of which Frontline Fellowship has been a member since the 1980s.
"If you believe Christ wants a holy war to preserve apartheid, the Reverend Peter Hammond is your general, his Frontline Fellowship your army," wrote the National Catholic Reporter in 1989.
The Indian Ocean Newsletter reported in February that moderate Christian relief agencies delivering aid to South Sudan such asChurch Ecumenical Action in Sudan (CEAS) "say the Fellowship understands the southern Sudanese conflict in purely religious terms and therefore only heightens opposition between Christian and Moslems there." CEAS also "criticizes the Fellowship's strong-arm tactics, the presence of mercenaries in its ranks, and the fact it allegedly offered military equipment to the southern Sudanese rebels."
The government of Sudan charges that Frontline Fellowship is running weapons to the SPLA. Hammond denies this, but his group has a history of such activities.
Kathi Austin, a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Center for African Studies and a former researcher for Human Rights Watch, told iviews.com she took photographs of military equipment Frontline Fellowship smuggled into Mozambique in support of South African-backed rebels–under the cover of smuggling religious material.
Ian Gray, an Australian who was recruited in 1986 for missionary work by one of the many supposedly religious groups associated with the Mozambique rebels, soon found himself tasked with carrying military messages for the insurgents. Gray said in a 1988 interview that Hammond was involved in more than proselytizing.
According to Gray, Hammond was often surrounded by former South African military men, whom he described as being more military than missionary. Gray said that whenever Hammond arrived at the rebel base, "there were other guys that were with him that were involved in military activities." He said he doubted their claim to be missionaries because "a lot of them even had liquor."
Hammond's brother Derek runs a missionary group called Faith in Action, also known as Love in Action. The group, according to its web site, is affiliated with Frontline Fellowship. Derek Hammond describes the Sudanese conflict as the fault of "the anti-Christian religion of Islam." But, says Hammond, "in spite of the odds, the Christians are 'doing something' about their situation, they are standing up against the evil of Islam. . . not only fighting for survival, but fighting to win back that nation for Christ."
Bennett's public relations work for Frontline Fellowship and the SPLA's cause is extensive. In addition to serving as Webmaster for vitrade.com (the phone number listed for ViTrade in its Internet site documentation is ITMI's Tempe office), both the Frontline Fellowship and In Touch Mission International web sites are registered to him.
Bennett's publicist, McGlothlin & Associates, ensures he is a regular on the right-wing talk radio circuit. McGlothlin also does public relations work for Frontline Fellowship's Hammond, Ed Cain (UCA's former president), and various Midwestern militia groups.
Another US-based associate of Hammond is Brad Phillips, director of the Virginia-based, Christian, patriot organization, U.S. Taxpayers Alliance (USTA). Phillips runs the Persecution Project for the alliance, which promotes the fight against Christian persecution.
Phillips' group has produced a video version of Hammond's book "Faith Under Fire," called "Sudan: The Hidden Holocaust." USTA promotional material says the video "reveals the unknown struggle of the African Christian tribes of central and southern Sudan who are presently engaged in a life-and-death battle against radical, Moslem invaders from the north." When customers buy the video, they rece,ive Persecution Project's "special report," "Sudan: The Cross vs. The Crescent."
The video was produced on-location with Hammond by Jeremiah Films, a company best known for such controversial documentaries as "The Clinton Chronicles" and "The God Makers II." The latter depicts Mormons as Satan worshippers, homosexuals, child abusers and murderers. (The film was condemned by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.)
Like Charles Jacobs of the American Anti-Slavery Group, Phillips slams the anti-apartheid movement. "The hypocrisy of the antiapartheid movement always upset me," he told Insight on the News. "That crowd never cared about blacks mistreating other blacks. They just cared about whites mistreating blacks. Thus they went after Rhodesia. Thus they went after South Africa."
Howard Phillips, father of Brad Phillips and the founder of the U.S. Taxpayers Alliance, was a staunch advocate of the apartheid regime during the 1980s.
In a 1988 "geopolitical/financial tour" organized by Phillips, one of his aids encouraged the assassination of anti-apartheid activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu. "The least you can do is remove the idiot's passport and not let him travel over to our country, and somebody might want to even shoot him," the aid told an audience of Durban businessmen.
Veteran advocates of South African government causes have also been associated with the government of Sudan, although their support is much less significant.
Bruce Fein, a lawyer from northern Virginia, actually wrote the constitution that South African-backed Renamo rebels in Mozambique wanted to replace that country's constitution with. The Embassy of Sudan employed Fein as a lobbyist until the United States implemented economic sanctions against Khartoum that prevented him from receiving money.
So what does all this mean? For the answer to that question, read the analysis of the facts of these relationships in Part III of this investigative series, American Muslims in false dilemma over Sudan war.

Her husband's hand is growing cold, so is the dinner Nina left downstairs while she holds vigil with her husband Philip's dead body. These are the practical, current realities that underpin Lily Tuck's novel. But although the framing narrative takes place in the course of a single night, Tuck manages, in just over two hundred pages, to tell the powerful and inspiring story of a long, fruitful marriage in all its strength and fragility.
Even as Nina contemplates the unthinkable - a life without her beloved husband - she recollects their first meeting, when they were both young and living in Paris, a world away from their native Massachusetts. "At the beginning, she makes a point to be difficult. She does not intend to be an easy conquest. She does not want to fall in love yet."
But fall in love, of course, she does - a love that survived affairs and tragedies and raising a daughter ...

|Jack Countryman, late Brennan Manning to receive Lifetime Achievement awards
|Written by Jeremy Burns
|Thursday, 17 April 2014 03:06 PM EDT
The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) will present Jordon Lifetime Achievement Awards to Jack Countryman, founder of JCountryman Gift Books, and posthumously to best-selling author Brennan Manning. The awards will be conferred April 28 in Colorado Springs, Colo., opening night of the ECPA Leadership Summit.
Countryman's 30-plus years in Christian publishing have allowed him the opportunity to help create and develop bestselling gift books such as God's Promises for Your Every Need, God's Promises for Men and God Listens. This year not only marks 20 million JCountryman books sold, but also the 30th anniversary of the God's Promises brand.
Manning (1934-2013) is best known as the author of the contemporary classics The Ragamuffin Gospel, All Is Grace, Abba's Child, Ruthless Trust, The Furious Longing of God, The Importance of Being Foolish and Patched Together. His unflinching honesty about himself as a "ragamuffin," an imposter and a man in search of the undeserved love of Jesus has encouraged millions of Christians.

Concentrationary Memories, Hardback (December 2013)
Concentrationary Memories is based in the idea that the concentrationary plague unleashed on the world by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s has remained and is now a permanent presence shadowing modern life. It also argues that memory - and, indeed, art in general - must be invoked to show this haunting of the present by this menacing past.
Visual Politics of Psychoanalysis, Paperback (October 2013)
Activists working in post-traumatic societies have resisted psychoanalytical terms because they fear that pathologizing individual suffering displaces the collective and political causes of traumatic violence. In a contrary direction, some thinkers have latterly embraced what Judith Butler insists is 'the psychic life of power.'
After-Affects/After-Images, Paperback (August 2013)» View all books by Griselda Pollock
In closely-read case studies, we encounter artworks by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, Alina Szapocznikow, Anna Maria Maiolino, Vera Frenkel, Sarah Kofman and Chantal Akerman to explore trauma and bereavement, fatal illness, Holocaust experience, migration, exile and the encounter with political horror and atrocity.

- Far from the world we see,
where the time stands still,
and we can hear the angels sings.
Fly away with me,
over the rainbow,
let my love overflow,
reflect on you and glow.
Together we reach the stars,
Heart to heart,
Where only love so true can rise
Fly away with me,
Together on wings of love we can glide,
The sun and moon will be our hide out,
Way above this world of doubts to paradise.
How my soul longs, and my heart desires
To take you there and show you love,
like you have ever know ...

This game has already been running for several weeks though we, the public, knew nothing of it. President Bill Clinton, it transpires, decided to ditch Boutros Boutros-Ghali in late March and the Secretary- General was told as much by Warren Christopher, the US Secretary of State, in mid- May. An attempt to offer the Egyptian an exit with dignity, by way of an extension of just one year, fell flat because he himself did not care for it.
So who does the White House want in his place? Apparently, it has no name in mind. It is widely believed, moreover, that were the US openly to nominate someone, it would be akin to a kiss of death for that candidate, so widespread is the disdain for Washington inside the organisation.
The qualities President Clinton would seek are easier to discern. Above all, he wants a person with a record of organisational skills who will pledge to transform the UN into something resembling less a world bureaucracy and more a modern corporation.
If that candidate happens also to have a phone book full of high political contacts, a feeling for the developing world and an ability to talk in television soundbites, so much the better.
But there are other considerations. France will insist on a person who speaks French. Meanwhile, there is a tradition of geographical rotation within the UN. Mr Boutros-Ghali, though Egyptian, is considered to be from continental Africa and, in theory, the second term that was to be his should also be given to an African. If no African is forthcoming, then the next continent in line for the Secretary-General is Asia.
Denials from potential candidates should be treated with caution. Only when a show of hands inside the Security Council, probably in December, settles on a new Secretary-General will there be any certainty about the race. Between now and then, the game to find that person will be joined intensely by London, Washington, Paris, Moscow, Peking and other capitals and it will all be behind tightly closed doors.

Hip Surgery and Injury
Learn More about Hip Surgery and Injury (View Complete Description)
Hip Replacement Surgery: A Guide to Preparedness and Recovery
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed today on aging Americans. Innovation in materials science has led to stronger, more durable hip implants allowing very low risk of long-term breakdown or complications.
For individuals suffering from arthritis and inflammation of the hip joint, or even athletic injury, there are many advantages to hip replacement including increased mobility and decreased joint pain. In the procedure, the top of the femur (thigh-bone) is removed and the hip socket emptied of worn-down cartilage and bone. A ball and socket joint is implanted consisting of a titanium composite rod with a ceramic head, which rotates inside a high-density plastic socket. Bone cement is used to fix the metal rod in the femur.
While hip replacement surgery itself is generally safe, with low risk of post-operative indications, there are some important steps to take to insure that rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery is as easy as possible. There are a number of important factors to consider both before and after hip replacement:
For the first few days following hip replacement surgery patients are confined to a hospital bed and after returning home or to care facilities work with physical and occupational therapists over the course of weeks learning to walk on their new hip. Walking exercises begin with crutches, and eventually require use of only a cane or walker until stability is achieved.
Many movements are restricted to insure the hip is not dislocated and the hip replacement does not have to be repeated. One of the most important is that the patient cannot lean forward, either while sitting or while standing, i.e. bending down. Anything small and out of reach below waist level should only be retrieved by another person, or by using a grabber reacher. These devices are handy in many situations, but essential when recovering from hip replacement.
Any seating must be done on a surface which is raised so that the legs and torso never come closer to each other than a 90 degree angle. There are several affordable options for augmenting existing seating surfaces. Raised toilet seats and toilet risers are impermanent and can be easily installed on almost any style of toilet. Specialty hip chairs are also sold which can be adjusted to just the right height for anyone recovering from hip replacement surgery.
Putting on clothing below the waist is extremely difficult without bending. There are several products which can enable a hip replacement patient to get dressed independently, including a dressing stick, shoehorn, sock aid, and elastic shoelaces. You can find these items and more in a hip replacement kit.
Muscle weakness in the operating leg after hip replacement is also an issue, especially in getting in and out of bed. A leg lifter can assist with getting the legs on to the mattress without strain and bed rails provide easy leverage for moving. There are several models of bed rail which do not require installation and are small enough to enable transfer in and out of any size bed.
Other movements which are restricted after hip replacement include putting one leg over the other or contorting the hips too much. In the case of getting in and out of the car without transferring to a seated position, this can be difficult. The swivel seat cushion allows turning without torsion and is another item which remains useful once full mobility is achieved.
As part of long-term hip replacement rehabilitation, it is important to exercise the leg muscles following weeks of limited use. Initial exercises must also be low impact in order to insure the hip joint heals properly. One of the best ways to work leg muscles after hip replacement without putting strain on the hip is by using a pedal exerciser such as the Chattanooga Deluxe Pedal Exerciser. For added benefit, this machine can also be used for exercising the arms.
One of the worst complications after a hip replacement is developing blood clots in the legs. Patients who must wear anti-embolism compression stockings following surgery are oftentimes recommended to continue wearing them to protect against poor circulation. There are many different styles and colors of compression stockings and socks for both men and women, and in addition to promoting good circulation these items can reduce swelling and leg fatigue.
The most important consideration of all before hip replacement surgery is insuring that restrictions to your mobility will not limit the routines and functions you perform every day. With plenty of foresight before a hip replacement, this uncomplicated surgery can end in an even less complicated recovery.

Not long ago, the newspapers announced that according to some calculations, by 1970 half of the population of Manhattan will be black, and that in the five boroughs that make up the entire city of New York, 28 percent of the inhabitants will be of colored race. Developments in the same direction have been registered in other cities and areas of the United States. We are witnessing a negrification, a mongrelization, and a decline of the white race in the face of faster-breeding inferior races. Read more …

The architects of the European Union argue that their construction is an unprecedented achievement following the fratricidal conflicts of the World Wars. Indeed, never before have sovereign nation-states freely consented to forming such a trade bloc and currency union. Furthermore, advocates of European integration argue that the Union's common citizenship, promotion of regional identity, and open internal borders have softened the harsh lines between nations.

Panorama: Hillsborough – How They Buried the Truth
Mon May 20, 9-10pm, BBC1
Even as the following day's newspapers were being digested, the Hillsborough cover-up was beginning. The feeding of malicious lies to the tabloid press was underway. Police statements were being vetted and altered (a staggering and shameful 116 in total). In short, the blame for the tragedy was to be put 'where it deserved to be'. And maybe, one day, it will be.
Clearly, this is one of many documentaries exploring these still barely believable events. But this particular film benefits (if that's an appropriate word for such distressing material) from new and revealing footage of the events in the Leppings Lane end of Sheffield Wednesday's ground that afternoon in 1989. Remarkable and moving by turns.
A truly shameful tale. We have one system of law in this country which must apply and be seen to apply equally to all sections of society . The Hillsborough scandal is not about the police failings on the day but the establishment conspiracy to protect the reputations and careers of those senior officers who failed in their duty on the day. The extent of the cover up is horrifying. The malice shown to those ordinary individuals who tried to tell the truth is truly horrifying. Those most senior in the Government , in the Judiciary and in the police who deliberately perverted the course of justice should be prosecuted. Those individuals who have accepted honours and pensions should be stripped of them. Ordinary law abiding people will be filled with revulsion . Esmond Jenkins Cirencester
