Bush calls Kosovo right move
As an independent state, Kosovo now assumes responsibility for its destiny," Bush wrote in his letter to Sejdiu. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice welcomed "the commitments Kosovo made in its declaration of independence" to implement a United Nations-backed plan, "to embrace multi-ethnicity as a fundamental principle of good governance, and to welcome a period of international supervision." .
Will anti-racists cheer for Obama?
Diane Abbott MP, London, In as much as I do not completely yield to Obamania, I agree with Mr. Finkelstein's article on the understanding that what he is criticising is race mongering. Black people cannot continue to moan about racism even today when overt racism has virtually been eradicated. I believe we must now look far beyond racism for the reasons for our failures because other groups like the Jews and Asians have moved far beyond expectations despite racism. I am very weary of the fact that there is no successful society of Black people anywhere on this planet and the much more shameful fact that the most racist white country would treat Black criminals better than the best Black country would treat its professors. Hon. Abbott, I am talking from my experiences of life in the largest Black country, Nigeria and many other west African countries.

Decoding your strange medical symptoms
You're showering after a workout at the gym when you notice something strange. There's a weird rash on your leg, a bump on your navel or maybe just a couple of indentations on your nail. It definitely isn't normal. But is it a sign of something serious? Knowing what your body is trying to tell you isn't easy, especially when it comes to more unusual symptoms like these. In some instances, such as a proclivity for sneezing when exposed to sunlight, there's nothing to worry about. It's simply a reflex. A diagonal crease on your earlobe, however, could be a signal that you're at an increased risk for coronary heart disease or diabetes. .
Gays Want Apology For Stunt Involving Idaho's Simpson
Huckleberries Online (aka No Holds Barred and Hot Potatoes) turns 4 today. Age 4 in blog years must be like 40 in human years. Not many make it this far. Blogging is hard work. I know. I was ready to quit every other day during that first year, 2004. HBO has evolved from a politically conservative blog that started as a means to support George W. Bush's re-election bid into a community of bloggers, commenters and blurkers who generally get along despite widely different political, religious and social backgrounds. I feel privileged to be the ringleader of this three-ring cyber circus. Of course, we celebrate this ongoing experiment each year by staging an annual blogfest, which happens to fall today, on the actual anniversary of HBO. You're welcome to join us for free pizza and pop from 2-4 p.m.
Governor's Office Re-Opens In Western Mass.
In the vestibule, empty shelves soon will be filled with new brochures on state programs, grant applications, tourism and other topics of possible interest to visitors. Cardona, 39, a Springfield native appointed in January to run the office, said she receives a steady stream of calls from throughout the four-county region. Many people have questions about state services or suggestions on improving programs. Others need help with everything from starting a new business to understanding the state's health care insurance requirements. As word has spread that the office reopened, she said, drop-in visits have increased, too. "Our goal is to make this office as valuable a resource as possible," Cardona said. "The governor has clearly said his intention is to be the governor for the entire state, and I do believe he'll be using this office frequently." Full-time branch offices are common in many larger states nationwide, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only New England states that have them.
