U.S. mediator accepted Israeli starting position on talks -- what will Palestinians do now?
Marian Houk
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?

International Women´s Day and the Quest for Opportunity, Education and Acceptance

Can these Israeli-Palestinian differences be glossed over? George Mitchell is trying
Marian Houk
A Palestinian official in Ramallah says that they are still waiting for an American response about the terms of the negotiations that the U.S. State Department is saying have already started. 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".

Palestinian leadership accepts U.S. proposal for "indirect" talks with Israel via George Mitchell
Marian Houk
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?

International women day
Ayo Johnson
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.

My husband can´t understand this concept and is forcefully trying to get me to go to work again despite my doctor´s declaration of disability because he thinks I´m just depressed and not really sick. He won´t listen to my doctor any more than he listens to me. It´s very stressful and he is interfering with my ability to get well. I love him and I´m dependent on his support. How can I convince him this is real?

Wall Street Wisdom Vs. Market Cycle Investment Management
Steve Selengut
Corrections are as much a part of the normal Market Cycle as rallies, and they can be brought about by either bad news or good news. Investors always over-analyze when prices become weak and over-indulge when prices are high, thus perpetuating the "buy high, sell low" Wall Street lunacy.

IF THE CPAC CONFERENCE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE GOP´S FUTURE, THEY HAVE SOME SERIOUS WORK AHEAD

"This Dream Called Death," a novelzine, by Stephen Janis (A Review)
William Hughes
Stephen Janis builds his tale, "This Dream Called Death," in one bone-chilling scene after another, with a writing style that suits the genre. His descriptions of the city of Balaise are first rate. As the tension escalates, the character of the narrator evolves, too, into a much more sympathetic figure. Janis takes you for a ride into a history, a nightmare, which I fear, may be only one more 9/11 incident away from becoming our reality!

Risto Stefov
Assimilation of Macedonians on a massive scale began right after Macedonia was invaded, occupied and partitioned in 1912, 1913 when Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria established a foothold in Macedonian territories. In Greece, for example, Macedonians were told: "as of this point forward this is Greece and you are Greeks and if you don´t like it you have 24 hours to pack your things and take whatever you can carry on your backs and get out". Many Macedonian left and eventually ended up in the USA, Canada and Australia.

Ron Paul Still as Scary as Ever
Earl Ofari Hutchinson
Ron Paul is still as scary as ever, or maybe I should scarier than ever for the GOP. This has absolutely nothing to do with his unsurprising landslide win in the Conservative Political Action Committee´s annual presidential straw poll. It was hardly the win of the ages since the CPAC convent...
