| Obama's Extraordinary Wave Fails to Sink Extraordinary Foe
After storming five presidential-nominating contests over the weekend, Sen. Barack Obama is favored to take three more primaries today and two later this month -- a potential 10-contest run that will give him wins in nearly half the states compared with Sen. Hillary Clinton's total of just 10 wins since voting began in Iowa. In another year, against another candidate, Illinois's Sen. Obama might be on the verge of nabbing the Democratic nomination. A few Democratic strategists, and some Republicans, think he is almost there now. But Sen. Clinton is no average candidate, and party rules give the New York senator enough convention delegates to weather February's squalls until contests in March. The campaign's calculation about the March 4 races in big states Texas and Ohio has elevated them to must-win status for Sen.
International Collaborations
In this section of the Nanoforum website, we present and link to sister organisations of Nanoforum in other parts of the world. These sister organisations all host webportals to the nanoscience and nanotechnology community in one or more countries. Nanoforum collaborates with these sister organisations to support academic and industrial researchers looking for partners and funding for international research projects between Europe and other parts of the world. Another source of information for researchers interested in such global research collaborations is the Nanoforum report on "Funding and Support for International Nanotechnology Collaborations". This report was published online on the Nanoforum website in the section Nanoforum reports in December 2005. .
Obama's Double Bubble Trouble
I tend to think unions do more than simply block systemic reforms--or, rather, it is core union practices (especially protections against firings for bad performance) that need systemic reforming. But Klein's commenters seem to believe these practices aren't much of a problem in affluent school districts.. ... P.S.: When it comes to the non-affluent districts, Klein asserts that criticizing teachers' unions is worse than empty "gesturing" because .
Ruthless leader Raila Odinga battles to save 'rightful' victory
Nobody right now is better placed than Mr Odinga and his key ODM lieutenants... to do what the government is unable to do - save the country from total destruction and President Kibabki’s people from the threat of genocide," he wrote. "If their intervention can restore a peace the government is unable to, that will be the real demonstration of who has the people’s mandate." That decision could mean Mr Odinga returning to the opposition once more and fighting his adversary in Parliament, where he enjoys a commanding majority. But it would also mean for now putting aside a dream that he, his father and his followers have waited so long to realise. .

Security shambles as airport is invaded for third night in row
Also, history is important to remember here. It was a decision at the UN, rightly or wrongly, that formed the state of Isreal following the WWII. Unfortunately, we will need to live with that. But one way to get the Middle East focused on their own problems and get the West out of the game in the region is to become less dependent on their natural resources. .
Tourism, growth a 'Brooklyn story' says Beep Marty Markowitz in final ...
A commitment to provide public funding for a first-of-its-kind community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in downtown Brooklyn. The approval of an advertising high school, to be located on the Canarsie High School campus, by the Education Department. The selection of London-based firm Grimshaw Architects to design an amphitheater in Asser Levy Park. A renewed vow to restore the legendary Parachute Jump to its original role as a death-defying amusement park ride. But Markowitz made only one fleeting mention of a possible run for mayor this year, much as he did in last year's address. "So c'mon, eight ball?" said Markowitz, near the end of his speech as he shook an oversized magic eight ball. "Are we going to take this Brooklyn story on the road?" The answer, which appeared on an overhead projection screen, said simply, "Too soon to tell." jsederstrom@nydailynews.com .
