The current controversy over proposed textbook changes in one state has brought the process of change into question. The current environment involves the state board of education but the make up of the board can impact what is being taught in future curriculum. Criteria should be established if not already when changes to textbooks are necessary to keep them current for the leaders of tomorrow.

The Israeli military extended its total closure of the Palestinian West Bank from last Friday until Tuesday at midnight, as tensions continue to run high. Separate-but-related Palestinian demonstrations continued Monday in East Jerusalem (about the restrictions on Palestinian worshippers and about what Palestinians say they fear is an attempt to undermine Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites in the Old City) and the rest of the West Bank (about The Wall and the military checkpoints). Just before dawn on Monday morning, the Israeli military also entered the West Bank villages of Bil'in and Nil'in, to post notices of a military order apparently issued three weeks ago, banning the presence of Israeli or international activists, or any Palestinians who don't actually live there, from the villages all day on Friday for the six months. There was an astonished reaction to this new attempt to ban protest demonstrations.

One of the major advantages in doing business in Mindanao is the low cost of electricity due to the low production cost of the Agus-Pulangui Hydroelectric Power Complexes. Privatizing the APHC would adversely affect investments, production and development in Mindanao. Energy-intensive industries will be discouraged to come in and existing industries will be forced to move out under the high power rate regime.

The U.S. sent 150 million in military aid to Yemen recently so it can resist Al Qaeda and extremists. But while that´s happening, Yemenis displaced by a conflict in the North and living in camps are having their food rations cut. This is the result of low funding from the international community for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). These rations will go to zero eventually if new funding is not found.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said at Tel Aviv University on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's new statement -- that it could take years to actually construct 1,600 new housing units in one Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem -- was "significant" -- because it allows time for negotiations to resolve the issue. Does he now believe, or did he get private assurances, that Netanyahu has issued a go-slow policy for this specific plan for new settlement housing? Two days ago, Biden issued an unprecedented statement condemning the Israeli government announcement about the 1,600 units, during his high-level visit to the region. In his speech in Tel Aviv, Biden ignored signals in recent days -- and clear statements made by Arab League officials and Palestinian negotiators overnight - that, contrary to an American announcement made earlier this week, there would be no Palestinian participation in "indirect" negotiations under U.S. auspices until the Israeli government cancelled its plans for these and all other new settlement housing units. But, Israeli peace activists say, there are at least 40,000 other housing units being planned in various settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Both the Palestinian President and the American Vice President said that yesterday's Israeli announcement of further steps to construct additional housing in the Jewish settlement of Ramat Shlomo, next to the Palestinian village of Shuafat in East Jerusalem, "undermined trust", and any proposal for negotiations. Yesterday evening, Vice President Biden issued an unusually strong statement in which he said: "I condemn the decision of the government of Israel"... But, it was not enough to persuade Palestinian negotiators, who said, after Biden's visit to the Palestinian Presidential headquarters in Ramallah, that proposed "indirect" negotiations had not yet started.

The Palestinians appear to have been edged out in Round One of the proposed new "indirect talks" with Israel that are to be managed by U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell. Despite Palestinian insistence that negotiations must take up where they left off (at the end of December 2008, when Israel launched Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip), the U.S. made a very official public announcement yesterday evening (Jerusalem time) that the process has begun. Now, the Israeli media reports today that the U.S. has backed the Israeli government's position instead, and has given assurances that any previous offers are "non-binding". What will the Palestinian leadership -- and the Palestinians -- do now?

For the Palestinians, it is not so important whether the negotiations are styled as "indirect" or "proximity" talks. Instead, this official said, "Ihe problem we have with the Americans is that they are speaking about ´relaunching´ these negotiations, while we want to ´resume´ negotiations at the point they ended on 27 December 2008 [the day Israel launched an unprecedented three-week military operation against Hamas in Gaza]. But Israel doesn´t want to do that". He added that "We are here to negotiate to obtain our freedom. If this turns out to be just an attempt to make a good PR [public relations] campaign for Mr. Netanyahu, then of course we are not willing to do simply that".

The Palestinian leadership has now received qualified approval to embark on "indirect" negotiations with Israel that will be brokered by the U.S. Special Envoy George Mitchell. The agreement is that the process will be evaluated after four months, and the U.S. is supposed to state publicly if either party has been an obstacle to the process. Previous negotiations have gone on for years without any result but a maintenance of the status quo, which is an Israeli miltary occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Gaza is isolated and under total Israeli blockade -- a situation Israeli officials have argued is an end to its occupation there. Part of the present process seems to be managing the situation until the exclusion of Hamas, the winner of the 2006 parliamentary elections, and now in control in the Gaza Strip after ousting Fatah-led security forces in mid-June 2007, is complete. But, how do all the political leaderships involved think they're going to be able keep a lid on this explosive situation?

Previous negotiations have gone on for years without any result but a maintenance of the status quo, which is an Israeli miltary occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Gaza is isolated and under total Israeli blockade -- a situation Israeli officials have argued is an end to its occupation there. Part of the present process seems to be managing the situation until the exclusion of Hamas, the winner of the 2006 parliamentary elections, and now in control in the Gaza Strip after ousting Fatah-led security forces in mid-June 2007, is complete. But, how do all the political leaderships involved think they're going to be able keep a lid on this explosive situation?

Women have always been at the heart of human development, but they find themselves at the margins of most societies, despite major advances and a constant promotion of women development world wide. In many countries in Africa women΄s position within society has not changed much in over 50 years, cultural beliefs and taboo ensures that women΄s roles remain invincible and their efforts recognised for almost little or no reward.
International women΄s day started in 1911 with calls for a closing of the gender gap, for women to be paid as much as men and for all women to be offered the same privileges usually bestowed on man.
