US 5805375 AAbstract
A microfabricated wobble motor with a positioning arm attached to the wobble motor rotor acts as a fine positioner with bidirectional movement. The primary application is a rotary actuator for the read/write head in a very small magnetic recording disk drive. An integrated head-arm assembly is attached at one end to the rotor of the wobble motor. The other end of the head-arm assembly has a head carrier that is maintained in contact with the disk. Head position error information is read from the disk and used to provide control signals to each of the stator elements. The stator elements are sequentially addressed by applying a voltage from a driver circuit. This causes the rotor to be electrostatically attracted to the activated stators, so that the rotor is movable bidirectionally. The read/write head can thus be moved bidirectionally to any of the data tracks on the disk and maintained on a desired data track for reading or writing data. The fine positioner also includes a digital control system where each of the stator elements is represented by an address, and the movement of the rotor is controlled by incrementing or decrementing the stator address in an address register.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/284,334 filed on Aug. 1, 1994 now abandoned.
This invention relates in general to actuators for fine positioning, and more particularly to a fine-positioning actuator that uses a micromechanical wobble motor. The primary application of the actuator is for positioning the read/write heads in very small disk drives.
Disk drives, also called disk files, are information storage devices that use a rotatable disk with concentric data tracks containing the information, a head or transducer for reading and/or writing data onto the various tracks, and an actuator connected to a carrier for the head for moving the head to the desired track and maintaining it over the track centerline during read and write operations. There are typically a number of disks mounted on a hub that is rotated by a disk drive motor, and a number of head carriers for accessing the surfaces of the disks. The head carriers are supported on arms attached to the actuator. The most common form of actuator is a rotary voice coil motor (VCM) actuator that can move the head carriers bidirectionally in a generally arcuate path across the tracks on the disks. A housing supports the drive motor and head actuator and surrounds the heads and disks to provide a substantially sealed environment. In conventional magnetic recording disk drives, the head carrier is an air-bearing slider that rides on a bearing of air above the disk surface when the disk is rotating at its operating speed. The slider is maintained next to the disk surface by a biasing force from a suspension that connects the slider to the actuator arm.
In contrast to conventional air-bearing disk drives, contact or near-contact disk drives have been proposed that place the head carrier in constant or occasional contact with the disk or a liquid film on the disk during read and write operations. Examples of these types of disk drives are described in IBM's U.S. Pat. No. 5,202,803 and published European application EP 367510, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,097,368 assigned to Conner Peripherals. In one type of contact recording, the disk drive uses a head-arm assembly in which the head, the carrier, the suspension, the actuator arm, and the electrical conductors are formed as an integrated unit, and the head carrier makes physical contact with the disk surface during read and write operations. In this type of integrated head-arm assembly, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,041,932 assigned to Censtor Corporation, a portion of the head pole piece and head carrier wear away due to frictional contact with the disk over the life of the disk drive.
Disk drives have undergone a rapid reduction in size. There are now commercially available disk drives that use disks with a 1.3-inch diameter. As the trend to reduced size continues, it becomes necessary to find smaller and easily manufacturable components. The integrated head-arm assembly is one example of an improved disk drive component that replaces multiple discrete components and separate wiring, and also lends itself to batch fabrication. Because the conventional VCM actuator is relatively complex to build on a small scale and is not readily capable of batch fabrication, the need arises for a new type of disk drive actuator that provides fine positioning of the head on the disk and can be used with very small disk drives.
Micromechanical motors that provide rotary motion of an output shaft have been built on the scale of several hundred microns using semiconductor fabrication techniques. One such motor is the "wobble motor", also called an electrostatic harmonic motor. The version of the wobble motor referred to here is one in which the static and movable elements remain coplanar during operation. A wobble motor has a rotor output shaft located within or surrounding a stator having a plurality of circumferentially-spaced stator elements. As the stator elements are sequentially electrostatically activated with respect to the grounded rotor, the rotor rolls around the stator. Because one complete electrical cycle of all of the stator elements causes the rotor to make much less than one complete revolution, the relatively high ratio of stator electrical cycles to rotor output shaft revolutions generates a high output torque.

What is needed is a micromechanical fine positioner that exploits the batch fabrication and high torque advantages of the wobble motor, but which provides the controlled bidirectional movement necessary for a disk drive actuator, rather than the conventional wobble motor rotational motion.
The invention is a microfabricated fine positioner that uses a wobble motor and control circuitry for providing bidirectional movement. In one application, the wobble motor positioner serves as the read/write head actuator in a very small magnetic recording disk drive. An integrated head-arm assembly is attached at one end to the rotor of the wobble motor. The other end of the head-arm assembly has a head carrier that is maintained in contact with the disk. Head position error information is read from the disk and used to provide control signals to each of the stator elements. The stator elements are sequentially addressed by applying a voltage from a driver circuit. This causes the rotor to be electrostatically attracted to the activated stators so that the rotor is movable bidirectionally. The read/write head can thus be moved bidirectionally to any of the data tracks on the disk and maintained on a desired data track for reading or writing data.

FIG. 1 is a top view of a contact recording disk drive that has a base 8 on which is mounted a wobble motor rotary actuator 10 and a disk drive motor (not shown). The disk drive motor has a spindle 12 onto which is mounted a magnetic storage disk 13. The rotary actuator 10 includes a plurality of circumferentially arranged stator elements 14, a cylindrically-shaped rotor 16 located within the stator elements 14, and a retainer ring 18. The retainer ring 18 has radially inwardly projecting fingers 20 that extend across the stator elements 14 and make low-friction contact with the top of the rotor 16 to keep the freely movable rotor 16 located within the stator elements 14.
A single-piece integrated head-arm assembly 22 is connected to the rotor 16. The integrated head-arm assembly 22 includes a generally rigid arm 24 that has one end attached, preferably by adhesive bonding, to the rotor 16 and a read/write head carrier 26 located at the distal end outside the rotor 16 and stator elements 14. The read-write head (not shown in FIG. 1) is supported within the head carrier 26 that also includes a bearing pad for contact with the disk 13. Electrical conductors (not shown in FIG. 1) are formed within or patterned on the integrated head-arm assembly 22 and provide electrical connection from the read/write head to electrical contact pads or leads 28 located at the end of the arm 24. A plurality of flexible electrical conductors provide electrical connection from the contact leads 28 on the arm 24 to electrical leads 32 formed on the disk drive base 8. During operation of the disk drive, the stator elements 14 are selectively electrostatically activated to cause the rotor 16 to roll bidirectionally within the stator elements. This results in bidirectional movement of the attached arm 24 to maintain the head on the centerline of a desired data track and to move the head from track to track in response to track seek commands.
FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view of the wobble motor actuator 10 and head-arm assembly 22 taken through and generally along the axis of the head-arm assembly 22. The head-arm assembly 22 is shown in sectional view with the head carrier 26 in contact with the surface of magnetic recording disk 13. The head carrier 26 has on the end facing disk 13 a wear or bearing pad 40. The head-carrier 26 has embedded within it an inductive read/write head 42 that includes a pole piece 43, a yoke 44, and a horizontally-oriented coil 46. The pole piece 43 comprises adjacent pole tips that are spaced apart to define a magnetic recording gap 47. The coil 46 is electrically connected to conductors 48 embedded within or formed on the arm 24. The conductors 48 terminate at the leads 28 formed on the end of arm 22 that is attached to the wobble motor rotor 16. Flexible electrical conductors 30 connect the leads 28 on arm 24 with leads 32 formed on the disk drive base 8. The disk drive read/write circuitry is patterned within base 8, as shown by the flat conductor portion of leads 32. Other electrical conductors (not shown) are also patterned on base 8 to provide electrical connection to each of the stator elements 14 to apply electrostatic driving voltages, in the manner described later. Electrical conductor 33 is also patterned on base 8 and provides grounding for rotor 16.
In FIG. 2, the head carrier 26 is formed as a single piece and is integrated with the arm 24. The loading force from the head carrier 26 to the disk 13 is provided by the sloped pedestal 50 located between the rotor 16 and the end of arm 22. Thus, a separate suspension, as used in conventional disk drives, is not required. However, it is also possible that the head carrier 26 can be fabricated as a separate segment, referred to as a "chiplet", and attached to a separate suspension. This separate suspension would then be mounted to the arm 24 and the sloped pedestal 50 would not be required. The separate suspension or the sloped pedestal 50 provides a load to the head carrier 26 that is generally perpendicular to the surface of disk 13. This perpendicular load maintains the bearing pad 40 of the head carrier 26 in contact with the surface of disk 13 during rotation of the disk 13.
FIG. 2 also illustrates the various components of the wobble motor actuator 10. A stator platform 60 is formed on base 8. The stator elements 14 and the retainer ring 18 are formed on platform 60. The platform 60 is patterned such that each stator element may be individually activated by independent voltage signals. An insulator layer 62 is formed on platform 60 and a ground plane 64 is formed on the insulator layer 62 beneath rotor 16. The ground plane 64, and thus the rotor 16, is connected to ground through a via and conductor 33 within the base 8. An annular gap 66 is defined by the outer cylindrical surface 68 of rotor 16 and the inner surfaces of the stator elements 14. The annular gap 66 is partially filled by an insulating layer 67 formed on the inner surface of stator elements 14. Alternatively, an insulating layer may be formed on the outer surface 68 of the rotor 16. The rotor 16 is retained inside the stator elements 14 by fingers 20 mounted to the top of retainer ring 18. Each finger 20 has a tip 21 that provides a low-friction contact with the top of the rotor 16. The rotor 16 is thus free to rotate within the space defined by the circumferentially-spaced stator elements 14.
The process for fabricating the wobble motor actuator 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A-3F. The material used for the base 8 that serves as the substrate for the deposited stator elements 14 is a high-expansion material (for example, a material having a linear coefficient of expansion in the range of 7-25�10-6 /�K.), which is selected to nearly match the expansion coefficient of the material used for the wobble motor rotor and stator elements. Such a material may be a coated metal, such as copper or nickel, or a ceramic, such as alumina or ferrite, or a high coefficient of expansion glass. Alternatively, the substrate can be silicon plated with invar (a Ni--Fe alloy) having a coefficient of thermal expansion matched to that of silicon.
Referring now to FIG. 3A, electrical leads 32 and 33 are formed onto the substrate base 8 using, for example, electroplated copper (Cu). The thickness of the leads 32, 33 is typically 1 micron. An insulating layer 34 approximately 1 micron thick is then deposited over leads 32 and 33 to electrically isolate the leads from the stator platform 60. The insulating material can be alumina (Al2 O3) or silicon dioxide (SiO2). The stator platform 60 is then formed over insulating layer 34 and patterned, by electroplating Cu through a photoresist stencil, to a thickness of about 2 microns. Note that there is a center region of the platform 60 over leads 32 and 33 to allow the leads to pass through the base 8. An insulation layer 62 of alumina or silica approximately 2 microns thick is then deposited on platform 60 to provide electrical isolation between the platform 60 and the next layer, the ground plane 64. After the insulation layer 62 is deposited, vias are opened to allow for subsequent electrical contact to leads 32, 33.
As shown in FIG. 3B, ground plane 64 is then formed by electroplating. During this process, ground plane 64 is connected to lead 33. Ground plane 64 is Cu with a thickness of 1 to 2 microns. Ground plane 64 can also be textured with an additional plating step, such as plating 1 micron of Cu, to minimize friction forces from the bottom of the rotor 16. The texturing is represented in FIG. 3B as bumps 65.
Following the application of high-aspect ratio photoresist, the stator elements 14 are formed by electroplating, as shown in FIG. 3C. The stator elements 14 are formed of plated Cu or Ni with a typical height of 20-60 microns and a typical width of 20-100 microns.
Referring now to FIG. 3D, the rotor 16 is formed on a separate substrate 69. First, a release layer 70 is deposited on substrate 69. The release layer is alumina or a baked photoresist approximately 1 micron thick. The rotor 16 is then plated on a seed layer of Cu or Ni. Typical materials for rotor 16 are copper, nickel (Ni), or nickel-phosphorous (NiP). The typical thickness of rotor 16 is approximately 20-60 microns. After plating the rotor shape using a high-aspect ratio photoresist, the seed layer is removed by sputter etching and the rotor is coated with a conformal insulating dielectric layer 71 of material like SiO2 or silicon nitride (Si3 N4) using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to a thickness of 0.2-1.0 micron. The insulating layer 71 is anisotropically removed from the top surface of the rotor 16 using reactive ion etching (RIE) which leaves layer 71 only on the outer cylindrical surface of the rotor 16 (FIG. 3E). Finally, the rotor 16 is released from the substrate (FIG. 3F) by dissolving the release layer 70. The rotor 16 is then positioned inside the completed stator elements 14.
In an alternative fabrication process, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C, the rotor 16 and stator elements 14 are formed on the same substrate, such as base 8. As shown in FIG. 4A, after the electrical leads 32 and 33, the stator platform 60, insulator layer 62, and ground plane 64 are formed in the manner described previously, and a release layer 72 of hardened photoresist is formed over the ground plane 64. Vias are formed in the release layer 72 to open regions onto the stator platform 60. A seed layer of Cu or Ni 76 is deposited followed by high-aspect ratio photoresist 74 and 75 to define both the stator structure and the rotor structure (FIG. 4B). This is followed by plating simultaneously the rotor 16 and the stator elements 14 (FIG. 4C). The photoresist 74, 75 is then removed, then the unwanted portion of seed layer 76 is removed, and rotor 16 is then released from release layer 72 by dissolving the release layer 72. The insulating dielectric layer 71 is applied to the rotor 16 by first removing the rotor and then depositing insulating layer 71 on the cylindrical surface as described previously.
The retainer ring 18 (FIG. 2) is also formed on a separate substrate and then bonded to platform 60, after which the fingers 20 are bonded to the top of retainer ring 18. Alternatively, a separate top ring with attached fingers, or fingers alone, can be bonded to the top of the stator elements 14. This approach eliminates the need to attach the retainer ring 18 directly to base 8.
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 illustrate a process for building an inner rotor structure in which the stators surround the rotor. It is also possible, in a similar manner, to build a wobble motor in which an annular-shaped rotor surrounds the stator. In this type of wobble motor, the inner cylindrical surface of the rotor rolls around the outer cylindrical surface of the stator elements.
Following the fabrication of the wobble motor, the separately formed integrated head-arm assembly 22 (FIGS. 1 and 2) and the sloped pedestal 50, if it is to be used to apply the suspension loading force, are bonded to the rotor 16. Thereafter, electrical contact is made by attaching flexible conductors 30 from the leads 28 of the head-arm assembly 22 to leads formed through the platform 60, insulator layer 62, and ground plane 64 for contact with circuitry patterned on base 8.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the various components of the disk drive are controlled in operation by control signals generated by controller 80. Typically, the controller 80 comprises logic control circuits, memory storage, such as RAM 81, and a microprocessor, for example. The controller 80 generates control signals for various drive operations, such as spindle motor control signals on line 82, read and write signals to read/write channel 102, and track following and seek control signals on line 90 for the wobble motor actuator 10. Controller 80 also includes an address register 83 and a decoder 85 for generating the servo control signal.
The spindle motor control signals on line 82 are sent to spindle controller 86 that controls the current to the armatures of the spindle motor 87 to rotate the disk 13 at a constant rotational speed during disk drive operation.
Data from disk 13 is read by the read/write head, amplified by amplifier 92, and sent to the read/write channel 102. Write signals are sent through read/write channel 102 to the read/write head for writing data on disk surface 13.
The read/write head reads position servo information recorded on the disk 13, typically at equally angularly-spaced servo sectors embedded between the data sectors. Those signals are amplified by amplifier 92, demodulated by demodulator 94, and converted to the digital position error signal (PES) by the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 96. The track following and seek control signals on line 90 are initiated by a servo control algorithm (FIG. 7) in response to input head PES. Signals on line 90 are sent to wobble motor driver circuitry 91 that provides voltages to the stator elements 14 of wobble motor actuator 10.
The controller 80 includes an address register 83 and a decoder 85, as shown in FIG. 6. The control signal sent on line 90 to driver 91 originates as the stator element address sent to the address register 83. For example, an 8-stator element actuator 10 is shown in FIG. 6, although the number of stator elements is not limited to this number. For an 8-stator element actuator, a 3-bit address (ABC) is adequate. The address register 83 latches the updated address output from the controller 80 in each clock cycle. The address is decoded by the address decoder 85 and sent to the driver 91, which is connected directly to the 8-stator element actuator 10 and supplies driving voltages to the stator elements. The decoder 85 is a typical combinatorial logic circuit. The driver can be implemented as a bipolar circuit connected to the stator elements, as shown in FIG. 6. When a particular stator element is to be addressed, the controller 80 puts the address in the input lines of the address register 83, and the register 83 latches the address in the next clock cycle. The decoder 85 selects the addressed line and turns the corresponding driver transistor off. The series resistor in turn charges up the connected stator element, which attracts the rotor toward it.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart that explains how the wobble motor actuator 10 performs track seeking and following. A 1-bit sigma-delta control scheme may be used during track following. During the track following block 100, the controller 80 checks the sign of the digitized PES signal (block 102) and the address of the current active element. If the PES is not positive, the controller 80 sends out the address of the next stator element (ADDR=ADDR+1, block 104). Otherwise, the address of the previous element (ADDR=ADDR-1, block 106) is sent out to the address register. With the clock rate much faster than the required actuator bandwidth, the actuator rotor can be balanced in the correct position. The amount of head movement caused by a single stator element address increment or decrement can be appreciated by an understanding of the high "gear ratio" provided by the wobble motor. For example, if the rotor has a radius of 5.000 mm and the annular gap between the rotor and stator is 0.001 mm, then the gear ratio is 5000/1, which means that a single cycle through all 8 stator elements will rotate the rotor 1/5000th of a complete circle. Thus, a single stator element address increment corresponds to angular movement of the rotor approximately 1/40,000th of 360 degrees or 0.009 degrees.
During the track seek block 110, the controller 80 sends out a sequential element address (ADDR=ADDR+1, block 112) until the digitized PES signal indicates that the actuator is on track (block 114). The rotor 16 then rolls in the appropriate direction to pivot the arm 22 radially inward and outward to optimally move and position the read/write head to the desired data track on the disk 13. Then the controller algorithm continues to the track-following block 100. As an alternative to the above-described digital servo, a more conventional analog-based servo may be used.
An improvement in the overall performance of both digital and analog servo approaches may be achieved by using a slightly variable gain control as a function of the rotational position of the rotor with respect to the stator. For example, FIG. 8 shows the motion of the head across a disk as a function of rotor rotation. The data of FIG. 8 is for a head-arm assembly length of 10 mm, a rotor inner radius of 5.001 mm, and a stator outer radius of 5.000 mm, with the rotor being outside the stator. The small deviation from the straight line shown in FIG. 8 indicates the magnitude of gain variation required for this wobble motor. This gain variation can be implemented, for example, by applying a slightly varying voltage level for each stator.

The invention is particularly applicable to systems in which database files are striped over multiple disk drives. In the present invention, storage of information is monitored at three levels: database files, file system files, and individual disk drives Parameters indicating the activity and performance level of each of the levels of storage are taken at selected intervals and stored. An analysis tool is provided that allows a DBA to select a time window during which the database performance is be assessed. The analysis tool has a map of the logical and physical arrangement of the database being monitored and allows a DBA to move from level to level of both logical and physical structures involved in storing the data while displaying I/O activity in an easily understood manner.

The 2 trials were the nevirapine/AZT (NVAZ, 2000-2003 with prolonged breastfeeding) and the Postexposure Prophylaxis to the Infant (PEPI, 2004-2007 with breastfeeding cessation by 6 months).METHODS: From NVAZ and PEPI trials data, GE frequency through age 12 months among HIV-negative exposed infants was evaluated. Overall and GE-related cumulative mortality rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves.RESULTS: The frequency of at least one GE-related hospitalization was greater in PEPI vs. NVAZ after age 6 months (respectively, 2.9% vs. 0.1%, at 7-9 months and 1.6% vs. 0.2% at 10-12 months, P < 0.001). Cumulative GE-related mortality was significantly higher in PEPI than in NVAZ after age 6 months; at ages 9 and 12 months GE-related mortality was 19 and 24 per 1000 infants in PEPI vs. 7 and 12 per 1000 infants in NVAZ (P = 0.0002).CONCLUSIONS: Early weaning was associated with increased risk of severe GE and GE-related mortality among HIV-exposed infants. Strategies are urgently needed which allow longer breastfeeding while reducing the risk of HIV breast milk transmission in resource-limited settings.PMID: 19844183 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, Substances, Grant SupportPublication TypesResearch Support, N.I.H., ExtramuralResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.MeSH TermsAdultAnti-HIV Agents/administration & dosageAnti-HIV Agents/therapeutic useBreast Feeding/epidemiology*Breast Feeding/statistics & numerical dataDeveloping CountriesFemaleGastroenteritis/drug therapyGastroenteritis/mortality*HIV Infections/drug therapyHIV Infections/epidemiology*HIV-1*HumansInfantInfectious Disease Transmission, VerticalKaplan-Meier EstimateMalawi/epidemiologyNevirapine/administration & dosageNevirapine/therapeutic useRandomized Controlled Trials as TopicRisk FactorsWeaningZidovudine/administration & dosageZidovudine/therapeutic useSubstancesAnti-HIV AgentsZidovudineNevirapineGrant Support5R0TW01199/TW/FIC NIH HHS/United StatesLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesLippincott Williams & WilkinsOvid Technologies, Inc.Other Literature SourcesCOS Scholar UniverseAccess more work from the authors - ResearchGateMedicalHIV - Genetic AlliancePalliative Care of Patients with HIV - HIV InSiteWomen and HIV - HIV InSiteBreastfeeding - MedlinePlus Health InformationGastroenteritis - MedlinePlus Health InformationHIV/AIDS - MedlinePlus Health InformationHIV/AIDS in Women - MedlinePlus Health InformationMiscellaneousZIDOVUDINE - Hazardous Substances Data BankNEVIRAPINE - Hazardous Substances Data BankPubMed Commons home

@tchrist: since you seem to be "in the known" for the topic, I'll take the chance to ask this: do you know if ICU/ICU4J handles this better (or even correctly)?
@Joachim Yes, ICU4J does everything better. Use UCharacter instead of Java’s Character for example. Alas, its excellent and standards-conforming regexes require JNIing into the C/C++ bindings, the way Android does it. Luckily that JNI/wrapper code is open source: look for NativeRegEx.cpp in the Android public source repository. NB: Instead of using casefolding in the regex engine, better sometimes to 1st generate the full casefold and then do a case SENSITIVE match against that, understanding what casefolds look like.

Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan: Congressman Wolf and His Media Crew... -- WASHINGTON, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan: Congressman Wolf and His Media Crew Break International Law and Continue Misleading the Public
WASHINGTON, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sudan condemns Congressman Wolf's illegal entry into the country which he admits to and says specifically that he went through the "SPLM-N controlled areas of Southern Kordofan." We have laws against such border crossings which deserve to be respected by foreigners just as the laws of the United States prohibiting illegal entries demand to be observed and require individuals to obtain proper visas. Also, those journalists who illegally sneak into the country such as New York Times' Nicholas Kristof and Ann Curry of NBC, jeopardize their own safety and that of others. It's worth noting that both of these journalists were previously granted visas and Mrs. Curry in fact sat face to face with the president
Moreover, in his report, the congressman quotes these very biased journalists to corroborate these fabricated and exaggerated stories he alleges to have been recounted to him in the camps; the same biased and inflammatory reporting which aims to create a new Darfur by playing the race card and appallingly framing the crisis as Arabs against Blacks. There isn't a single statement in his report that points to the root cause of the crisis, nor does it condemn the heinous acts committed by the rebels. There are also no statements that hold Southern Sudan accountable for its role in the conflict. And the fact is that the government of Southern Sudan is responsible for undermining the CPA. Its troops are the ones invading Jau and infringing on the sovereignty of Sudan. They are the ones providing safe haven and arms to the rebels that have wreaked havoc on the residents of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
To be an "honest broker," as Secretary Clinton proclaimed the United States to be, officials and representatives should refrain from making baseless accusations against the Sudan government. Incendiary statements such as those made during her testimony that President Bashir is working to "undo the results of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement" and undermining the new state do not reflect the words of an honest broker. After all, if it weren't for this Government and the leadership of President Bashir, there would be no CPA in the first place. Furthermore, an honest broker needs to be impartial and apply pressure where it's really deserved. The Southern Sudan government has not in any substantive form been pressured by the U.S. to cease its support of the rebels. Hence Sudan will continue to demand the constructive and honest engagement of the U.S. administration. Embassy of Sudan Press and Information Office, phone: +1-202-338-8565, or fax: +1-202-667-2406

U. S. Indecision and the World
By C. L. SULZBERGER FEB. 21, 1976
LONDON—The degree of decline in United States prestige abroad exceeds by far what most Americans imagine to be the case. The uncertainty of U. S. leadership, the insistence on exposing vital secrets, and an exaggerated case of normal election year paralysis have inspired grave doubts about Washington's capacity to act.
In discussing the recent example of Angola where President Ford was unable to shore up two movements opposing the Popular Movement (M.P.L.A.), former British Prime Minister Edward Heath told me: “The Russians made a very accurate assessment of the limitations now curbing Ford and Kissinger.
“But is this only a temporary condition? Or is it likely to last quite a while? I think it is. Congress will not easily be persuaded to yield the powers over foreign policy and other matters it has gained.”
When French President Giscard d'Estaing and German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt met in Nice this month they spent much time. discussing American flabbiness, although this was subsequently not mentioned in briefings. Like other U. S. allies, the two European leaders are worried about the future.
Denis Healey, Chancellor of the Exchequer and a, likely future Prime Minister, believes U.S. paralysis is not now limited only to the normal preelection months that tend to restrain Washington initiatives. It has already been noticeable for some time. He also makes the point that disproportionately high unemployment among America's young blacks could produce an explosion if not corrected within a fairly short period.
Large areas of the world which had become accustomed to American vision and American leadership are now foundering without it. Secretary of State Kissinger has discovered it is hard to put back the pieces of a Latin American Humpty Dumpty that fell off the Punta del Este wall. SEATO, of course, crumbled—as it was always doomed to do—and U.S. policy in the Middle East seems stranded.
But it is the NATO area and the European Community that are in the end most vital to the United States and the cause of free society. Nothing extra‐dramatic has recently occurred there but the decline is steady. Washington managed wholly to mess up the Greek‐Turkish argument. Its fruitless fiddling in Italian politics has provided little more positive than embarrassment. And today, no one can figure out just what U.S. policy toward the Common Market really is— if such a policy exists.
The ultimate implications for the power balance of Moscow's gain in Angola are being carefully and gloomily studied. If the drive for black freedom, spearheaded by Cuban troops, presses on into Rhodesia and South Africa, a serious crisis is inevitable. There would be much pressure in Britain from relatives of beleaguered white families to aid Rhodesia, despite its myopic and bigoted behavior.
And what would America do? Mr. Heath cautions: “One mustn't forget that this is an election year in the States and the attitude of black voters is a particularly important factor. What would their view be? Would they permit a President to intervene in what, could be made to appear a war of blacks against whites? I think not.”
There is lack of confidence in the collective willingness or efficiency of the U.S. Government. This is reflected in different areas, far apart:
Black African states like Zaire and Zambia, which expected their stance on Angola to be bolstered by Washington; South Africa, which bet we were tougher than proved to be the case; Latin America, which finds no inspiring reason for optimism in United States actions; and disheartened, worried Europe.
Some statesmen conjecture that the next major test may not come in Africa at all. Marshal Tito is ailing and, despite persistent crackdowns against pro‐Moscow agents, there is growing reason to suspect a Soviet effort to infiltrate. Moscow would like to control Yugoslavia, the argumentative Balkan nation where Titoism was invented with unending consequences in the spread of Communist movements independent of the Kremlin.
Finally there is the greatest riddle of all. What will China do after Mao Tse‐tung dies? Already there is a succession struggle whose implications to foreign and strategic policy cannot yet be judged.
There are observers who view Mao's invitation to Richard Nixon as an intended warning that Washington had better firm up its Chinese attitudes or risk a drastic shift. We have already seen how Moscow acts on the basis of its assessments of probable weak U.S. reaction. Is Peking now making similar assessments? And will it prepare major policy changes in accordance with negative judgments?

Atheist Messages Displace California Park Nativity Scenes | Fox News
A woman walks past a sign displaying an Atheist message along Ocean Avenue at Palisades Park in Santa Monica, Calif. Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011. (AP/Ringo H.W. Chiu)
"Our belief is that these new applicants have been working together to displace and push out the nativity scenes from the park, rather than erecting a full display of their own," said Hunter Jameson, a spokesman for a coalition of the city's churches.
"For 60 years, it's almost exclusively been the point of view of Christians putting up nativity scenes for a whole city block," Vix said.
Jameson pushed the city to give "local preference" in awarding the spaces, since Dix doesn't live in Santa Monica.
