US to boycott UN conference on racism

Washington - The United States will boycott a UN conference on racism over concerns about a document being prepared for the event that singles out Israel.

US representatives had travelled to Geneva to provide input on the document to replace an earlier controversial draft written in 2001 at a conference in Durban, South Africa. But the US representatives had not been able to overcome objections about Israel being targeted, as well as efforts to restrict freedom of speech by banning "defamation of religion."

"The document being negotiated has gone from bad to worse, and the current text of the draft outcome document is not salvageable," State Department Acting Spokesman Robert Wood said in a statement released late Friday.

Two monitors, twice the fun

Washington - Think about how much time you spend switching from one application to another, searching for windows that are hidden behind other windows, or opening and re-opening applications.

It adds up. And depending upon the type of work you do, it can add up to a lot - a lot of frustration and a lot of lost productivity. The solution may be to add a second monitor.

With today's PCs, adding another monitor to your setup is fairly easy, and the advantages are manifold. Not only will you be able to give an entire application - such as your e-mail program - a permanent home of its own during the day.
