I was informed of a donation campaign that takes place in Romania by the organizers of World Blogging Forum. Here is their statement:
It is the cause of a young Romanian, called Daniel Raduta ( http://danielraduta.ro/?page_id=2) who was diagnosticated with leuchemia and needs a bone marrow transplant.
The online campaign has helped him raise 70000 eu so far, but he needs around 150000 eu.
It?s the case that brought a new era to charity in Eastern Europe. It?s proof that people can save a life with or without the help of officials. When they turn their backs on us, we grow stronger and more ambitious. And we win.

It has been three years and not much progress in the Hrant Dink Assassination case. I believe if judiciary and authorities will push forward to solve the Dink case, Ergenekon trial will also progress. Evidence is just there and accomplices are alive but unfortunately “authorities” are hesitant to solve the case… Today, we, as friends of Hrant Dink, attended the commemoration at the place where he was murdered. It was sharply cold and snowy and many people I know just did not attend because of that. Thanks God, I am in peace with my consciousness, I stood by Him today and I will continue follow his case…
A nice post on conference organizing, another look at Copenhagen summit and activism, some more interesting posts and images…
There have been a couple of interesting posts I?ve run across in my attempts to find out what happened at the 2009 AAA conference (see especially Lorenz?s run-down at antropologi.info). These discussions of conferences in general have encouraged me to write something about my own experiences organizing and attending conferences over the past year (see also, Lorenz?s What?s the point of anthropology conferences?, Kerim?s What?s Your Favorite Anthropology Conference? and Strong?s How to attend a conference in a couple hours). I thought I?d add a different perspective; that of the amateur, I?ll-never-do-it-again (dis-)organizer.
