*Lynne Elson
of Rancho Bernardo,
California, is back from a trip to the village of Nabagoye,
Uganda, where she taught Hebrew to a group of school children
belonging to the Abayudaya Jewish community. The story by
Yuxing
Zheng
is in
today's San Diego Union-Tribune.
*Israel's
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that Israel is ready to
hand over responsibility for security on the West Bank to the
government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas provided
sufficient assurances for Israel's security and Hamas is not
permitted to become involved. Aluf Benn has the
story
on the Ha'aretz website.
*Gloria Penner's "Full Focus" news show has been
cancelled by KPBS-TV, as has the KPBS radio program "A Way With
Words." Although some people involved with the two shows now are
jobless, the venerable Penner survives. Scott Lewis of
Voice of San Diego has the
story.
*Harry Maxwell Rady,
40,
has pleaded
guilty in San Diego federal court to charges of purchasing
$10,000 worth of weapons from an unlicensed gun dealer. A story
by Will Carless is in today's Voice of San Diego. Another story
by Greg Moran, reporting that he purchased the weapons after his
parents, philanthropists Ernest and Evelyn Rady were tied up
during a home invasion robbery, appeared in today's San Diego
Union-Tribune.
