Anarchy, pyrates, a book, and a fiancée with a Slavic name - sounds like a dangerous combination :) Congratulations!

Congratulations Pete!

What a brilliant way to get extra press exposure for the forthcoming book! Congratulations!

Posted by: Lawrence H. White | March 24, 2009 at 03:45 PM

Thanks, Larry. Though, I'm afraid I can't take any credit for extra book exposure if my proposal creates any. I just thought this would be the perfect way to ask Ania to marry me. And, based on her reaction, I'm happy to report I was right!

Many thanks to everyone else for your warm wishes for Ania and I as well!

Frankreich krise

Aus Protest gegen geplante Entlassungen haben Arbeiter in Frankreich erneut einen Firmenchef in ihre Gewalt gebracht: Der Leiter eines Werks für Medizinprodukte des US-Konzerns 3M im zentralfranzösischen Pithiviers wurde in der Nacht zum Mittwoch in der Fabrik festgehalten.

Das teilte die Polizei am Morgen mit. Gewerkschaftsvertreter gaben als Grund die Unzufriedenheit der Beschäftigten mit Abfindungen bei ihrer Entlassung an.

Die Arbeiter hielten die ganze Nacht lang Wache vor dem Büro des Firmenchefs. "Wir verlangen eine Neuverhandlung der Abfindungen und eine Umzugsprämie", sagte Gewerkschaftsvertreter Jean-François Caparros. In der Nacht seien darüber Verhandlungen geführt worden, die aber nicht zum Erfolg geführt hätten. Am Vormittag sollten sie wiederaufgenommen werden. "Alle sind sehr motiviert", sagte Caparros. "Diese Aktion ist unser einziges Druckmittel." Zu gewalttätigen Auseinandersetzungen sei es nicht gekommen.
