... are now up on the website, here.

This is a fabulous resource. I shall certainly be coming back to it again and again. Many of the presentations were extremely important and well done: I learned so much from attending the two days of the conference.

The schedule for the conference is at the top of that web-page. Then scroll down to see the videos, which are not in the same order.

(My performance looks okay. One small mis-speaking-- a reference to 40 Hamas people being incarcerated in the West bank, as opposed to 60 Hamas parliamentarians-- and some possibly overdone, BBC-style hand gestures.... But it's the way I communicate in large-group settings, so what can I do?)

Anyway, big congratulations to the CCAS staff for having gotten this up on the website so speedily. Just one small caveat: those presenters who relied heavily on Power Points get a bit short-changed since the videos don't, I think, cue to those.
