Gill: Home-grown talent key
manchesteronline.co.uk – Mar 23, 2006
Despite being one of the richest and most successful clubs on the planet, United have always retained an impressive commitment to youth development. Sir Matt Busby began the tradition of the Red Devils nurturing their own with his cherished `Babes’ and Sir Alex Ferguson willingly carried it on, first through his `Fledglings’, then the famed `Class of 92′, which spawned Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Robbie Savage and Keith Gillespie. The focus on youth is particularly poignant just now, as on April 7 United will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Busby’s first league title. United are using the commemoration to launch the new `Manchester United Foundation’, a charity set up by the club which they hope will benefit youth and communities across the world.

Alcatel Shanghai Bell (ASB) and China’s Datang Mobile have announced they plan to establish a joint laboratory to “provide a real network environment. ” This will help test the ability to use 3G TD-SCDMA applications together with.

Jim Nesbitt: Terrorism, Wildfires
News & Observer – Mar 21, 2006
Only a matter of time, they say, before this happens. Moderator: What do the experts say law enforcement can do, if anything, to prevent this type of crime? Or is ideology the real issue?JN: Ideology, religion and culture are the main motivations. Again drawing from the example of home-grown terrorists from the Far Right fringe, you have folks like former Texas Klansman Louis Beam preaching “leaderless resistance,” and advocating that people wanting to commit an act of violence cut themselves off from groups they belong to before doing so. That makes it tough on law enforcement, but some agencies are monitoring Web sites and trying to track down folks who might be motivated to commit an act of violence. Of course, there’s a thorny civil liberty problem here. One more point on the terrorism front. It’s been said that Taheri wasn’t a devout Muslim — if he were, he wouldn’t have commited this act.

Stohr, executive director of the Sacramento Nonprofit Resource Center, is keenly interested in what a bulked-up McClatchy means for the region, particularly for the 200-plus local nonprofit organizations on the center’s member list. “There’s going to be a lot of disappointment if having a company in town with more resources doesn’t translate into more contributions,” Stohr said. Her comment reflects the rising expectations in Sacramento for home-grown McClatchy as the publisher of The Bee and 11 other daily papers ascends the media ladder to replace San Jose-based Knight Ridder as the second-largest newspaper chain in the United States. The Sacramento Bee already is active in the community. But nonprofits say they will look for more donations from its parent company. Local businesses will look for more leadership. Civic leaders want more national exposure.
