China to appeal for fair position of home-grown wireless security tech
EastDay.com – Mar 14, 2006
In a statement issued here Monday, ChinaBWIPS (China Broadband
Wireless IP standard Group) called for fair position of the country’s home-grown
WLAN (wireless local area networks) security technology WAPI. China’s WAPI
and American IEEE802. 11i applied to the ISO for international standard last
October. The fast track ballot that ended last week shows that a total of 30
national bodies cast vote on WAPI with 8 votes in favor and 31 national bodies
cast vote on 1N7903, with 24 votes in favor.
A Matter of National Security
New York Sun – Mar 14, 2006
At a meeting last month, UEFA ruled that, starting with next season’s European Champions League and the UEFA Cup, all participating teams must have at least four home-grown players on their 25-man roster. The number will be increased to eight by the 2008-09 season. But there is less in this move than meets the eye, because a “home-grown player” means merely one who has been trained within a club’s youth system – it does not specify nationality. Thus, should Arsenal sign a 15-year-old French boy and keep him until he is 21, he would count as a home-grown player. Even if the player left Arsenal during that six-year spell, he would still be considered “home-grown” provided he joined another English club. Obviously, such an arrangement would do little to encourage the development of “home-born” players – the ones who could be members of the country’s national team. UEFA’s problem with setting quotas and definitions for “home-grown” players goes back to 1995, when the famous Marc Bosman case made it illegal for clubs operating within the European Union to discriminate against players on the grounds of nationality… Even if the player left Arsenal during that six-year spell, he would still be considered “home-grown” provided he joined another English club.

UEFA’s problem with setting quotas and definitions for “home-grown” players goes back to 1995, when the famous Marc Bosman case made it illegal for clubs operating within the European Union to discriminate against players on the grounds of nationality. While UEFA has plans to extend its quota system to take in national leagues, it is far from certain that such a move will be accepted by a majority of the sport’s more powerful clubs. “We recognize the strength of feeling in Europe on this issue,” David Davies, executive director of the English FA, said. “But there is some significant opposition from our own Premier League clubs and from some of the bigger Italian clubs. Logically enough, for England and Italy are the most prolific importers of players.
UNC attack called terror
News & Observer – Mar 14, 2006
“The guy made a decision and he went through with it. We got lucky he wasn’t better trained. “Taheri-azar, who was born in Iran but reared in the U. , is also reminiscent of home-grown terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the 1995 bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma City, said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at the California State University at San Bernardino. Operating alone or in small, ad-hoc groups, a would-be terrorist can use the Internet for indoctrination and a sense of belonging to a larger movement. Instructions for home-made explosives and bomb-laden vests can also be found in the virtual universe.

“He's a good second baseman,” manager Bruce Bochy said of the 23-year-old who is competing with veteran Mark Bellhorn for the starting job and has yet to play in the majors. “I heard the talk, but he is a good second baseman. ”
The Padres overrated home-grown players such as Ben Davis, Juan Melo, Gabe Alvarez and Sean Burroughs. Barfield, however, has shown an ability to improve and adapt that is reminiscent of Greene's early success. And by whittling away at defensive flaws, Barfield has increased his potential value. The Padres no longer talk of moving him to the outfield, which means Barfield's right-handed bat – if it fares as projected – is more likely to exceed the norm for his position. “Defensively he's gotten better every year,” said Padres first base coach Tye Waller, who as a minor league staffer tracked Barfield throughout a five-year rise through San Diego's farm system.
Nicole Brodeur Rick Steves is just a NORML guy
Seattle Times – Mar 14, 2006
You don’t imagine him ensconced in some European parlor, taking pulls off a big, fat doobie. But it turns out Steves, our home-grown travel magnate, likes to smoke pot. He’s a card-carrying member of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. He’s even given the keynote speech at its annual conference. But like everything about Steves, his is a sensible stand: America needs to treat marijuana as a “soft drug,” and as a medical, not criminal issue. Doing so would ease the burden on our courts and prisons, Steves said.
