- In der Tagesschau wird berichtet, dass das FBI einen "gebürtigen Inder" der "britischer Staatsbürger" sei festgenommen habe, da er versucht hätte, eine russische Boden-Luft-Rakete in die USA zu schmuggeln um sie dort an vermeintliche Terroristen zu verkaufen.

- Human Resources in the Non-Profit Sector (Canada) A report (in Adobe Acrobat format) at the Canadian Policy Research Network web site - "In a presentation to the Halifax Metro United Way in May 2003, CPRN's President, Judith Maxwell, reviews CPRN's findings on the characteristics of Canada's non-profit sector organizations and the paid workers they employ. Largely statistical in content, her presentation outlines the size of the non-profit sector, profiles its employees, assesses the quality of their jobs, their level of job satisfaction and the skill requirements and training response of the sector." The associated page at the CPRN site also provides links to a variety of related reports. |
