Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
12 Jan 2010 13:31 GMT | Politics, Sudan
Is Sudan looking at another explosion of violence five years after an agreement was signed to end Africa's longest running civil war?
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement between President Omar al-Bashir's National Congress Party and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement ended a 22-year conflict.The 2005 Accord provides for Sudan's first national elections in 24 years to be held in April. It also has provisions for a referendum in the mostly Christian southern region early next year on whether it will break away from the Muslim-led Khartoum government and become fully independent.
But a report by international aid groups say that deal is now on the brink of collapse because of violence between ethnic groups and tribes in the south. Around 2,500 people were killed and 350,000 fled their homes - a human toll greater than in Darfur in the country's west.
The report also warns that a lack of development aid in southern Sudan threatens the chances of keeping the peace there.
On Thursday's Riz Khan we ask: Is the international community again ignoring the warning signs from Sudan?Joining the discussion will be Scott Gration, the US special envoy to Sudan. We will also have with us Michael Gaouette who manages the United Nations mission in Sudan from the UN headquarters.This episode of the Riz Khan show aired on Monday, January 11, 2010.

Decent hotel
Good hotel, great location. Easy walking distance to covenant garden, leicester square, etc. Not quite reaching up to the 5 stars, lacking the final polish to truly be a 5 star hotel.
Would recommend
Great hotel!
Wonderful staff, great location and lovely rooms! Traveled with a small group and we all loved it, we would definitely recommend this hotel in the future.
FANTASTIC 50th birthday treat!
This was a surprise treat for my twin sister and to myself for our 50th, what a wonderful stay we had, the hotel was sheer luxury,staff were very helpful and brought us a birthday cake upto our room, complimentary,that was a very nice touch. The
pool and spa was fantastic and a real treat.Great location . For a special occasion will definitely stay again.
Holborn tube station just 5mins away, from there you can get to all main attractions.
Great place
Love the location, easy to walk to many attractions and restaurants. The staff eas very helpful and cheerful. Would go back again.
Great London Experience
The service was terrific and the concierge very helpful. Though room size was not big, it was more than adequate and we (2 people) did not feel cramped at all. Conveniently located, it was about 2 blocks from the British Museum, about 2 blocks
from the Holborn Underground station and about 4 blocks from a stop for the London bus tours. They also offer a shuttle service to the airport that cost us less than the express train would have cost. We were only there 2 nights, but thoroughly enjoyed the hotel.
Excellent Hotel
Wonderful staff, pleasant and helpful. Good location near the British Museum a short walk from Trafalgar Square and westminster. Very comfortable rooms. Perfect place to stay. Stayed tghere last year, hope to do so again.
Get the map at the hotel with the coupons for excellent dinning places.
Staff level so good!!
Excellent hotel experience
My room was one of the large ones (two Queen-sized beds, sitting area). It was great! The staff were friendly and helpful. The concierge service was not quite as helpful as some London hotels, but it was adequate. I loved the location, close to
Covent Garden, the West End, and the City. I loved having a sushi restaurant onsite. So far, this has been the best hotel experience I've had in London. Wonderful gym and indoor pool as well.
Before buying tube tickets for the day, find out if where you want to go is just as easily reached on foot from the hotel's location. I found I only needed tube tickets for 4 out of the 10 days I was there. Also, grab some nonperishable snacks and drinks from a nearby Sainsbury's and save on eating out.
Great value and a nice, pleasant hotel
Everthing was very nice. Clean, well appointed, new furniture, nice electronics, friendly and helpful staff. We really liked the lobby bar area and had a drink there every afternoon. Very reasonably priced for such a nice place. The hotel is
only a block away from Holborn tube station. There are many nice cafes in the area.
The Shakespeare Pub next to Holborn tube station is a family friendly and very reasonably priced pub. We had breakfast and supper there. Both were quick and good.
very good hotel with excellent location
Three persons were booked but all the room accessories towels etc were for two.
Although check in time was at 13.00 they told us the room will be ready in two hrs but when we checked out at 11.55 they wanted to charge late check out.
Very good priced shops near the hotel

Right Wing Round-Up

- Hal Turner has been arrested for calling for the murder of Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook and Judges Richard Posner and William Bauer of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Every time you think that Rep. Michelle Bachmann can't become any more ridiculous, she proves your wrong.
- You know who is really responsible for Gov. Mark Sanford's affair? President Obama, of course.
- Ken Blackwell struggles mightly while refusing to answer if he thinks the Republican Party is morally superior to the Democratic Party.
- But if the GOP gets rid of its self-righteousness, what does it have left?
- Ta-Nehisi Coates says "the religious right isn't what's wrong with the GOP. It's the pervasive, unthinking, unreflective nationalism. It's the arrogance of thrice-divorced adulterers reaching for the banner of traditional families, and it's the arrogance of men who prosecuted a poorly planned war, on weak intelligence, presuming to lecture us on national security."

John Boehner's "Plan B" on the fiscal cliff was an embarrassing flop.
Ooltewah coach Jesse Nayadley's back-up plan worked extremely well Tuesday night.
With junior starter Ben Snider sidelined with a broken finger, Nayadley inserted sophomore Daaron Maston into the lineup.
Maston responded with 15 points, all coming on five 3s.
Nayadley also gave junior transfer Ron King his most extensive playing time of the season and the former Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe scored eight points in a 19-5 run that carried the Owls to a 66-50 victory over Soddy-Daisy.
With the win Ooltewah improved to 11-4 and remained atop the District 5-AAA standings at 6-0.
King, who didn't dress for the Best of Prep tournament on Dec. 27-29, helped Ooltewah extend a 41-36 lead to a decisive 60-41 margin with 4:03 left in the game.
"It feels really good the way I played tonight," said King, who played his freshman and sophomore seasons at LFO. "I'm proud of myself."
After Maston drilled his fifth 3 from the left wing with 7:09 left, King went on his personal scoring binge. He got a dunk off a mid-court steal, made four straight free throws and capped it with a driving layup.
Antonio Jackson's free throw 51 seconds later pushed the Owls' lead to 60-41. The Trojans scored six straight points, but still trailed by 13 points and the Owls scored six of the game's final eight points for the final 16-point margin.
"We've been working Ron in practice, but he hadn't been playing in games at all," Nayadley said. "After transferring, he's still trying to learn what we do. It's been hard for him to get into a game. I'd say he's played two minutes all year before tonight."
Maston has had much more playing time than King, but both players figured prominently in Tuesday's victory, helping pick up the slack for Snider's absence.
"Ron is hungry," Nayadley said. "I dressed him tonight because Ben is hurt. Daaron started for Ben. Ron got up and down the floor. He brought us some energy. Some of our problem of late is we're playing at the speed of our opponent. He went in there and played at his speed. He's very fast and very athletic."
King welcomed the court time.
"I am hungry to play," he said. "I think I deserved to play some. I needed to hustle and did that. I feel really good about how I played."
Snider broke a finger during a three-day pre-Christmas tournament at West Ashley High School in Charleston, S.C., but played all three games in the BOP tourney at Chattanooga State, scoring 33 points.
"The doctor said he had to have it in a cast in two weeks (after the injury occurred)," Nayadley said. "Ben chose to play in the Best of Preps. We knew we'd have a week off and this week is the second week. He goes back to the doctor next week and while it's not a major break, it hurts our rhythm not having him out there."
Soddy-Daisy coach Kevin Templeton saw up close the depth Nayadley, his counterpart, has at his disposal.
Ooltewah starters – Jackson, Robinson, Maston, Ty Presley and Andrew Ware – combined for 46 points. Reserves – King, Damir Hasanbegovic, C.J. Fritz, Jarek Boyd and Tucker Bass – added an additional 20.
King led the way with his season-high eight.
"They're so deep," Templeton said. "They lost some very talented players from last year and here they are. You have to respect that."
Soddy-Daisy scored six straight points ending the first quarter and starting the second to take a 12-10 lead, its last advantage of the game.
The Owls went on a 16-4 run and led by 26-14 with 2:25 left in the first half. The Trojans sliced their deficit to 29-21 at halftime, getting a field goal by Andy Wright and a 3-pointer by Tucker Landreth in the final 1:20 before the break.
Soddy-Daisy outscored Ooltewah, 8-2, starting the third quarter and 42 seconds later pulled within 33-32 on Landreth's 3 from the right wing.
The Owls scored eight of the game's next 12 points and led by 41-36 with 2:49 remaining in the third quarter. The Owls' eight points were spread among four players – Maston, Fritz and Presley, with Maston and Presley hitting 3s.
Robinson's layup and two free throws – he finished with 12 points – and Maston's 3 from the right-wing started the Owls' game-deciding 19-5 run that left Soddy-Daisy in their rear-view mirror.
Jackson scored 13 points for the Owls.
"They're so fast it's like a track team," Templeton said. "We had the tempo we wanted and were managing the clock OK. But they are so relentless. The pressure is on you all the time. For most people, when you have the ball you're on the attack. Against Ooltewah, when you have the ball you spend a lot of time trying to protect it. They're on offense when they're playing defense.
"It's a lot of fun to watch if you're not coaching the other team. It's stressful if you're coaching the other team. I thought our kids played really hard. I wish we had been a little more intelligent at times, made a few more free throws and layups. I think they wore us down."
Marshae Jeffries paced the Trojans (7-9, 1-4) with 13 points. James York added 12 points, Andy Wright had 11 and Landreth tossed in 10.
For two-plus quarters the Trojans went toe-to-toe with the Owls. Then, Ooltewah's overall talent and depth took control and stymied Soddy-Daisy's upset bid.
"Maybe it was tougher than it should have been, but not tougher than I thought it might be," Nayadley said. "Over Christmas, we played really well in our first tournament and not well at all in the second. Our practices have been so-so. We're going through a mid-season lull.
"I'm not overly upset with it, but if you could pick your time it would be now not later. We rotated a lot more players (tonight) because of Ben's injury."
While the team's rhythm was a bit off, the Owls remained District 5-AAA's only unbeaten squad. And the schedule picks up steam starting with Thursday's game against Hardin Valley out of Knoxville.
"That will be a good non-district/district game," Nayadley said. "Hardin Valley is like playing Bradley. That will be a good test for us."
After Hardin Valley, Ooltewah plays McMinn County, Rhea County, Walker Valley, Bradley Central and Cleveland back-to-back-to-back.
"That's the key stretch of the season for us," Nayadley said.
Ooltewah girls 45, Soddy-Daisy 38: Leondra Barrett led the Lady Owls (3-12, 1-5), who broke an 11-game losing streak.
Calli Cross added 10 points for Ooltewah, which had a 35-23 lead after three quarters.
Mallory Wade scored a game-high 16 points for the Lady Trojans (8-7, 0-5). Hannah Harris scored 12 points.

Rules are rules for a reason. In most cases, they promote aesthetics that we associate with artistic harmony and a pleasant viewing experience. We hear often that "you have to know the rules before you can break them." I'd take that a step further, arguing it's not just "what" and "how" but also "why." You need to know the REASON for the rules of photography and design in order to break them effectively.

Qatar Airways, the largest customer for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in the Middle East, has grounded its entire fleet of five 787s until the safety of the plane is confirmed.
The airline said in a statement on Thursday it was following instructions from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority.
The FAA grounded Boeing's newest commercial airliner on Wednesday, saying airlines would have to demonstrate that lithium-ion batteries were safe before the planes could resume flying. It gave no details on when that might happen. Other national regulators have followed suit.
Fast-growing Qatar Airways, which is enjoying a civil aviation boom in the Gulf, has an order for up to 60 of the aircraft – 30 firm orders plus an option to acquire 30 more.
"In light of recent events surrounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner worldwide, we are actively working with Boeing and the regulators to restore full customer confidence in the 787," Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar al-Baker said in the statement.
He said the airline would resume flying the 787 when it was clear that the plane was safe.
The statement did not say whether Qatar Airways might demand compensation from Boeing. Last month, after one of the airline's 787s had a problem with a power generator, Baker said he would seek compensation.
Last week, Baker said he had no plans at the moment to cancel any plane orders with Boeing, but added: "When we have to start grounding planes, then it becomes an issue and then they have to get their cheque book out."

Mubarak picture ripped 311.
(photo credit:Associated Press)
When polled recently, 59% of Egyptians said they backed the Islamists and only
27% favored modernizers. There is no good policy for the United States regarding
the uprising in Egypt but the Obama administration may be adopting something
close to the worst option.This is its first real international crisis.
And it seems to be adopting a policy that, while somewhat balanced, is pushing
the Egyptian regime out of power. The situation could not be more dangerous and
might be the biggest disaster for the region and Western interests since the
Iranian revolution three decades ago.RELATED:Analysis: Egyptian chaos and the Palestinian question Background: Who are the Muslim Brothers?If Brotherhood takes over, IDF will face formidable enemyExperts and news media seem to be
overwhelmingly optimistic, just as they generally were in Iran's case. Wishful
thinking is to some extent replacing serious analysis. Indeed, the alternative
outcome is barely presented: This could lead to an Islamist Egypt – if not now,
then in several years.What's puzzling here is that a lot of the
enthusiasm is based on points like saying that the demonstrators are leaderless
and spontaneous. But that's precisely the situation where someone who does have
leaders, is well organized, and knows precisely what they want takes
over.Look at Tunisia. The elite stepped in with the support of the army
and put in a coalition of leadership, including both old elements and
oppositionists. We don't know what will happen but there is a reasonable hope of
stability and democracy. This is not the situation in Egypt where the elite
seems to have lost confidence and the army seems passive.Can Omar
Suleiman, long-time head of intelligence, as vice-president and former Air Force
chief (the job Mubarak himself used to have) Ahmed Shafiq as prime minister
stabilize the situation? Perhaps. He is an able man. But to have the man who has
organized repression running the country is not exactly a step toward
libertarian democracy.There are two basic possibilities: the regime will
stabilize (with or without Mubarak) or power will be up for grabs.Now,
here are the precedents for the latter situation: Remember the Iranian
revolution when all sorts of people poured out into the streets to demand
freedom? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now president.Remember the Beirut spring
when people poured out into the streets to demand freedom? Hizbullah is now
running Lebanon.Remember the democracy among the Palestinians and free
elections? Hamas is now running the Gaza Strip.Remember democracy in
Algeria? Tens of thousands of people were killed in the ensuing civil
war.It doesn't have to be that way but the precedents are pretty
daunting.What did Egyptians tell the Pew poll recently when asked
whether they liked "modernizers" or "Islamists"? Islamists: 59%; Modernizers:
27%. Now maybe they will vote for a Westernized guy in a suit who promises a
liberal democracy but do you want to bet the Middle East on it? Here's the
problem.On one hand, everyone knows that President Hosni Mubarak's
government, based on the regime that has been running Egypt since the morning of
July 23, 1952, is a dictatorship with a great deal of corruption and
repression.This Egyptian government has generally been a good ally of
the United States, yet has let Washington down at times. For example, the
Mubarak government has continued to purvey anti-American propaganda to its
people; held back on solving the Israel-Palestinian conflict (it did not endorse
the 2000 Clinton plan, though I have good sources saying Mubarak said later he
regretted that decision); has not taken a strong public stance on pressuring
Iran; and so on.For a long time, it was said that Egypt was the most
important US ally in the Arabic-speaking world. There is truth in this but it has
been less true lately, though due more to passivity in foreign policy than to
hostility.Clearly, though, Egypt is an American ally generally, and its
loss to an anti-American government would be a tremendous defeat for the United
States. Moreover, a populist and radical nationalist – much less an Islamist –
government could reignite the Arab-Israel conflict and cost tens of thousands of
lives.The US's gambleSo the United States has a stake in the survival of the regime, if
not so much that of Mubarak personally or the succession of his son, Gamal. This
means that US policy should put an emphasis on the regime's survival.The
regime might be better off without the Mubaraks, since it can argue it is making
a fresh start and will gain political capital from getting rid of the hated
dictator.Given the weakness of designated successor, Gamal Mubarak, who
is probably too weak to deal with the situation, the regime might well be a lot
better off.On the other hand, the United States wants to show that it
supports reform and democracy, believing that this will make it more popular
among the masses in the Arab world as well as being the "right" and "American"
thing to do. Also, if the revolution does win, the thought is, it is more likely
to be friendly to America if the United States shows in advance its support for
change.Finally, the "pro-democracy" approach is based on the belief that
Egypt might well produce a moderate, democratic, pro-Western state that will
then be more able to resist an Islamist challenge. Perhaps the Islamists can be
incorporated into this system.Perhaps, some say (and it is a very loud
voice in the American mass media) that the Muslim Brotherhood isn't really a
threat at all.So, in this point of view, US policy should favor the
forces of change.Of course, it is possible to mix these two positions
and that is what President Obama is trying to do.Thus, Obama said, "I've
always said to [Mubarak] that making sure that they are moving forward on reform
– political reform, economic reform – is absolutely critical to the long-term
well-being of Egypt, and you can see these pent-up frustrations that are being
displayed on the streets...Violence is not the answer in solving these
problems in Egypt, so the government has to be careful about not resorting to
violence and the people on the streets have to be careful about not resorting to
violence. I think that it is very important that people have mechanisms in order
to express legitimate grievances. As I said in my State of the Union speech,
there's certain core values that we believe in as Americans that we believe are
universal: freedom of speech, freedom of expression – people being able to use
social networking or any other mechanisms to communicate with each other and
express their concerns."On paper, this is an ideal policy: Mubarak
should reform; the opposition should not use violence; and everything will turn
out all right. Again, this is the perfect policy in theory, and I'm not being
sarcastic at all here.Unfortunately, it has little to do with
reality.For if the regime does what Obama wants it to do, it will fall.
And what is going to replace it? And by his lack of support – his language goes
further than it might have done – the president is demoralizing an
ally.And it is all very well to believe idealistically that even if
Egyptians are longing to be free, one has to define what "free" means to them.
Also, the ruler who emerges is likely to be from the best organized, disciplined
group. People in Russia in 1917 were yearning to be free also and they got the
Bolsheviks.In Iran, where people are yearning to be free, the Obama
administration did nothing.No matter what the United States says or does
at this point, it is not going to reap the gratitude of millions of Egyptians as
a liberator. For the new anti-regime leaders will blame America for its past
support of Mubarak, opposition to Islamism, backing of Israel, cultural
influence, incidents of alleged imperialism, and for not being Muslim.If
anyone thinks the only problem is Israel, they understand nothing.This
is not the first time this kind of problem has come up and it is revealing and
amazing that the precedents are not being fully explained. The most obvious is
Iran in 1978-1979. At that time, as I wrote in my book Paved with Good
Intentions: The American Experience and Iran, the US strategy was to do
precisely what Obama is doing now: announce support for the government but press
it to make reforms. The shah did not go to repression partly because he didn't
have US support. The revolution built up and the regime fell. The result wasn't
too good.There is a second part of this story also.Experts on
television and consulting with the government assured everyone that the
revolution would be moderate, the Islamists couldn't win, and even if they did,
this new leadership could be dealt with. So either Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
couldn't triumph – Islamists running a country, what a laugh! – or he couldn't
really mean what he said. That didn't turn out too well either.Even more
forgotten is that, regarding Egypt, that's how the whole thing started! Back in
1952, as I wrote in my book, The Arab States and the Palestine Conflict, US
policymakers supported – don't exaggerate this, it was not a US-engineered coup
but they were favorable – to an army takeover.The idea was that the
officers would be friendly to the United States, hostile to the USSR and
communism, and more likely to enjoy mass support.In other words,
policymakers and experts are endorsing a strategy today that has led to two of
the biggest disasters in the history of US Middle East policy. And now it is
even worse, since we have these precedents and particularly the point about what
happens when Islamists take power.There is no organized moderate group
in Egypt. Even the most important past such organization, the Kifaya movement,
has already been taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood. Since 2007, its leader
has been Abdel Wahhab al-Messiri, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood and
a virulent anti-Semite.Muhammad ElBaradei, leader of the reformist
movement, makes the following argument against my analysis: "Mubarak has
convinced the United States and Europe that they only have a choice between two
options – either they accept this authoritarian regime, or Egypt will fall into
the hands of the likes of bin Laden's al-Qaida. Of course, that is not exactly
true. Mubarak uses the specter of Islamist terror to prevent a third way: the
country's democratization. But Washington needs to know that the support of a
repressive leadership only creates the appearance of stability.In truth,
it promotes the radicalization of the people."This is a reasonable
formulation. But one might also say that nothing would promote the
radicalization of the people more than having a radical regime. Even ElBaradei
says that if he were to be president, he would recognize Hamas as ruler of the
Gaza Strip and end all sanctions against it.That is not to say that
there aren't good, moderate, pro-democratic people in Egypt but they have little
power, money, or organization. Indeed, Egypt is the only Arab country where many
of the reformers went over to the Islamists believing – I think quite wrongly –
that they could control the Islamists and dominate them once the alliance got
into power.Nothing would make me happier than to say that the United
States should give full support for reform, to cheer on the insurgents without
reservation. But unfortunately, that is neither the most honest analysis nor the
one required by US interests. In my book, The Long War for Freedom, I expressed
my strong sympathy for the liberal reformers but also the many reasons why they
are unlikely to win and cannot compete very well with the Islamists.I
have pointed out that the Brotherhood's new leader sounds quite like al- Qaida
and has called for war on both Israel and America.And here is Rajab
Hilal Hamida, a member of the Brotherhood in Egypt's parliament, who proves that
you don't have to be moderate to run in elections: "From my point of view, bin
Ladin, al-Zawahiri and al-Zarqawi are not terrorists in the sense accepted by
some. I support all their activities, since they are a thorn in the side of the
Americans and the Zionists... [On the other hand,] he who kills Muslim citizens
is neither a jihad fighter nor a terrorist, but a criminal murderer. We must
call things by their proper names!" A study of the Brotherhood members of
Egypt's parliament shows how radical they have been in their speeches and
proposals.They want an Islamist radical state, ruled by Shari'a and at
war with Israel and the United States.Then it is also being said that
the Brotherhood is not so popular in Egypt. Then why did they get 20 percent of
the vote in an election when they were repressed and cheated? This was not just
some protest vote because voters had the option of voting for secular reformers
and very few of them did.The mass media is full of "experts" who also
argue that the Brotherhood is not involved in terrorism. Well, partly true. It
supports terrorism against Americans in Iraq and against Israelis, especially
backing Hamas. In major cases of terrorism in Egypt – for example the
assassination of Farag Fouda and the attempting killing of Naguib Mahfouz –
Brotherhood clerics were involved in inciting the violence beforehand and
applauding it afterward.The deeper question is: why does the Brotherhood
not engage in violence in Egypt? The answer is not that it is moderate but that
it has felt the time was not ripe. Knowing that it would be crushed by the
government, and its leaders sent to concentration camps and tortured or even
executed, as happened under Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1950s and 1960s, is a
deterrent. It is no accident that Hamas and Hizbullah – unrestrained by weak
governments – engaged in violent terrorism while the Muslim Brotherhood, facing
strong and determined regimes in Egypt and Jordan, did not.Having said
all of this, US influence on these events, already rejected by Egypt's
government, is minimal. It is morally good to speak about freedom and seem to
support the protesters but also quite dangerous and will not reap the gratitude
of the Egyptian masses in the future. After all, aside from the likely
radicalism of their leaders, a revolutionary regime would be hostile toward the
United States since America would be blamed for supporting the Egyptian
dictatorship for decades. President Obama will not charm them into
moderation.The Egyptian elite wants to save itself and if they have to
dump Mubarak to do so – as we saw in Tunisia – the armed forces and the rest
will do so. But if the regime itself falls, creating a vacuum, that is going to
be a very bad outcome. If I believed that something better could emerge that
would be stable and greatly benefit Egyptians, I'd be for that.Yet is
that really the case? Consider this point: Egypt's resources and capital are
limited. There aren't enough jobs or land or wealth. How would a new regime deal
with these problems and mobilize popular support? One route would be to embark
on a decades-long development program to make the desert green, etc. Yet with so
much competition, where would the money come from? How could Egypt try to gain
markets already held by China, for example? More likely is that a government
would win support through demagoguery: blame America, blame the West, blame
Israel, and proclaim that Islam is the answer. That's how it has been in the
Middle East in too many places. In two cases – Lebanon and the Gaza Strip –
democracy (though other factors were also involved) has produced anti-democratic
Islamist regimes that endorse terrorism and are allied to Iran and
Syria.Is America ready to bet that Egypt will be different? And on what
evidentiary basis would that be done? The emphasis for US policy, then, should
be put on supporting the Egyptian regime generally, whatever rhetoric is made
about reforms. The rulers in Cairo should have no doubt that the United States
is behind them.If it is necessary to change leadership or make
concessions, that is something the US government can encourage behind the

RE: Calsing
Thank you for your continued patience while we try to work this out. My tree on Ancestry is not public but I should be set up to receive messages to my user name (Sallywr). I don't know why it isn't working for you.
I'm not sure Ancestry has all the kinks worked out of their design.
I tried to search their member directory for you by your name Janet Swaim, J Swaim, Swaim, but I could not find you. Apparently they do not have a way to search (that I could find) for a specific family tree by the tree name. I tried all kinds of things and could not find you. What is your member name? Maybe I can find you that way and get a message to you with my email address.

RE: Lena Hoffman's Stepfather CALSING
So sorry to be a burden, but I could not find you on Ancestry.com. I found many users with the name "Swaim" and I found Philip Calsing in a page full of people's private trees, but none of the owner names looked even close to your name or a variation of your name.
You can find me on Ancestry.com with user name, "Sallywr" please feel free to contact me and then maybe we can "chat".
Thank you again,

Lena Hoffman's Stepfather CALSING
I would like to communicate with you regarding any information you may have on Phillip Calsing. Per information posted on FindAGrave, Lena's mother, Othelia married 3 times and had children with 2 of them. I am interested in Phillip Calsing from Prussia because my gg-grandfather matches that same information.
Since this is a public message, I do not want to post my email address, but would be happy to communicate via private emails on this matter.
Thank you,

Japan's education ministry has generated protest in Okinawa by erasing one of the country's worst moments from history textbooks. Okinawans who lost loved ones when the Japanese army ordered them to commit suicide during World War II are bitterly battling the historical omission.
A top Israeli education official has authorized a textbook for exclusive use in Arab Israeli schools that tells a different side of the story of Israel's creation in 1948. For starters, the text acknowledges that Palestinians dubbed the historical event "al nakba" (the catastrophe).

Advice from the Dental Experts in Rockland County, NY:
What is the best way to teach dental hygiene and habits to toddlers and young children?
"Start by limiting sweets and candy, and give them healthy choices of raw fruits and vegetables. Up until age 8, brush your child's teeth for them twice a day. Floss their teeth and have them watch you floss to instill healthy habits."
-Sherri Alpert, DDS, of Dental Wellness of Suffern in Suffern, NY
"Even when they are a few months old, wipe their gums and tongue so they get used to having something in their mouth for cleaning. Get them used to brushing with a toothbrush by the time they're one; they don't have to use toothpaste because the act of brushing is more important."
-Ralph Berk, DDS, of Rockland Pediatric Dental in New City, NY
"Monitor the amount of sugary drinks and snacks. Kids that have three square meals and one snack are less likely to get cavities than kids who snack constantly. Also, don't put babies to bed with a bottle of juice, and wean them off the bottle at 12 months old."
-Angela Boudounis, DDS, of Nyack Pediatric Dentistry in Nyack, NY
"Lead by example and show them how you brush. Make sure when they are done brushing their teeth, you do it for them as well. Be consistent and make sure they understand it gets done every day."
-Scott Peters, DMD, of Scott C. Peters DMD LLC in Mahwah, NJ
