Democratic Republic of Congo
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, currently on a 7 nation tour of Africa, is in the DRC calling for the cessation of sexual crimes against civilians. The estimates from the UN report that over 3,500 people have been victims of assault and is helping to spread HIV.

Day 167
I have spent all day getting ready to leave for an artist residency in Belgium. Tomorrow's hanky will be posted from the exciting town of Kasterlee.
Reset Button Babel
I wonder who is responsible for the brilliant "Reset Button" gift to Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov? As soon as I read the article, images of the totally insipid Staples Easy Button campaign filled my head. The gift is rendered even more ridiculous by the translation faux pas of "peregruzka", which apparently means "overloaded" or "overcharged", instead of "reset". Clinton might as well have gone to Staples to buy an Easy Button.

Rebuilding Gaza
On the heels of Secretary of State Clinton's March visit to Israel and the West Bank, an undisclosed U.S. official states that the Obama Administration will give an estimated $900 million in aid to rebuild the Gaza Strip.
It pains me to think of how different the world would be if we(universal we) directed money into instruments of construction rather than destruction.

Lots of Activity
I stitched all night at a gathering of friends. Festivities lasted beyond midnight and documentation did not occur. I will photograph yesterday's hanky tonight and post two tonight.
Sometimes it really is fascinating to wake up and discover all the things that are going on in the world. Top 5 for today:
- Florida Student Commits Suicide in Front of Webcam- eFluxMedia @ 7:29am (Disturbing and tragic)
- Jimmy Carter Barred from Zimbabwe- New York Times @ 7:28am (Laughable and predictable)
- Obama Seeks to Create 2.5m Jobs-BBC News @7:27am (Hopeful and skeptical)
- Clinton 'will accept state post'- BCC News @ 7:25am (Excited and wary)
- US Missiles Striking Terror into Pakistani Militants- guardian.co.uk @ 7:13am (Typical and typical)
