There is a god! You're back! I didn't start reading your blog until after you took your leave of absence. When months went by and there were no updates, I feared that I had found the best blog ever only to discover it had died.
- December 16, 2009 at 8:04 PM
hmm the FB page isn't a normal group one but some weird application called 'network blogs' which wants access to some of your details if I wanted to 'follow you' *frowns*
- I steer clear of most apps on facebook, but if a WWHM FB page is made and you let us know, will become a fan of that.
Least I can do for the laughs you've given me (and I've not finished the archives yet, yay!)

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our lives, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.

But, the show and sex tape got people talking about the heiress, who, before this point, was far from a household name. She was hardly known outside of being "New York's It Girl" thanks to her modeling and partying in socialite circles circa 2001.Thirteen million people watched the show's premiere, which Paris Hilton Nude featured pampered heiresses Paris and Nicole without cell phones in the middle of Arkansas, doing a lot of manual labor and low-paying jobs. About 13.3 million watched the second episode, which increased Fox's 18-49 rating by 79%. It's hard to know for certain if the one night in paris sex tape hype was a direct result of the sex tape, but, for comparison, the premiere of the second season of The Bachelor brought in 11 million viewers the same year.
Paris Hilton
Life is tough Paris Hilton, because she slaves away in another day of hard work in Ibiza, including a dance work, pout and carnival night. Paris has been photographed in Spain, the island has a night club DJ in the suite and make sure she knew the DJ. Paris was wearing her favorite of a small silver headband with a blonde photographer accompanied surrounded diving neckline dress.
paris hilton sex tape
Watch One Night in Paris because it is the best celebrity sex tape on the internet and could be a film like no other to you. Something like this can only be good in the eyes of those who personally handpick such great work out of one's own personal taste. The title alone shows how it could carry its plot around the culture and lifestyle of France and use the facts of reality as the significant elements to a show that not only entertains but touches its viewers as well Paris Hilton Sex Tape in the way that the artist who produced it intended to do so in the first place.

Tiffany Craig Brown initially pulls readers in by making us privy [U][B]best website to buy discounted tiffany jewelry[/U][/B] to the gruesome details of Tate's crime scene, as well as presenting us with a clue left behind at the crime scene in [U]baltimore tiffany jewelry[/U] the form of mysterious vomit that is presumed to come from someone other than the victim. I must admit I was truly [U][B]discount tiffany jewelry[/U][/B] intrigued by the vomit and where it originated from! As we read the first few chapters, it is evident that Brown definitely performed thorough research concerning the [B]authentic tiffany jewelry monthly promotion[/B] police procedural methods, which are artfully executed.
Upon finishing up with the initial crime scene portion, Heaven's Rage is then split up into [U]authentic tiffany jewelry monthly promotion[/U] four main sections detailing each horrendous relationship Richard Tate had [U][B]best website to buy discounted tiffany jewelry[/U][/B] with the women in his life. We learn that Tate (appropriately nicknamed Dick by the way) is a disturbed man [U][B]3tiffany & co jewellery[/U][/B] with severe issues stemming from his childhood and just like Detective Buchanan, we are appalled by [B]authentic tiffany jewelry[/B] Tate and of the way he treats each woman. I found myself feeling genuinely happy [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany charms[/URL][/B] that someone murdered him for the novel's sake, and became emotional in sympathizing with each suspect!
The flow of the novel is superb because it's [U][B]3tiffany & co jewellery[/U][/B] got the "I-can't-put-it-down!" quality, with perfect transitions and breaks in [U]authentic tiffany jewelry monthly promotion[/U] all the right spots. As a reader, the pleasure and value of Heaven's Rage is being able to identify with each of Tate's "victims", and we find [B]3tiffany & co jewellery[/B] that we love to hate Richard "Dick" Tate along with trying to identify the murderer.
Being an avid murder mystery reader, I believe Heaven's Rage may [U][B]knockoff tiffany jewelry[/U][/B] have been more impacting had there been more concrete clues scattered throughout the novel in regards to determining the murderer's identity. The largest draw and allure of crime and mystery novels is being able to apply [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany[/URL][/B] the author's clues to solving the murderer's identity before it is revealed to us. Although the murderer's identity is indeed surprising, Heaven's Rage does not provide readers with [U]authentic tiffany jewelry[/U] enough clues to solve the mystery on their own.
I personally enjoyed Heaven's Rage because of my familiarity [U][B]cheap tiffany and co jewelry[/U][/B] with the military lifestyle (being a military brat myself) and having lived in the locations featured in the novel including Colorado Springs, San Diego, and Coronado. On the other hand, you won't need to be familiar with the above attributes to enjoy [B]knockoff tiffany jewelry[/B] Heaven's Rage and better yet, it will appeal to all genres of readers! Heaven's Rage is evidence that Tiffany Craig Brown has amazing talent [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany necklaces[/URL][/B] hands-down, and as a reader you won't be disappointed! No matter what your taste, you'll gain something from Heaven's Rage whether it be satisfaction from revenge or even being able to relate to nasty divorce and custody battles, among many other real-life experiences this novel [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany & co[/URL][/B] brings to light.

^thanks cause i was watching the claimed episode 1 and it didnt make sense at all.

I read a bit of the manga months ago, didn't know this was gonna get an anime.
That being said, don't see myself following this for more than 1-2 episodes. Just a generic survival/battle royale situation that seems to be actually fairly commonplace as far as small manga titles go.
Doesn't help even if there's more good stuff to come, it probably has about the most boring 1st episode that aired so far this season.

I can't say I'm sold yet. I've never been a big fan of these survival type anime, since they tend to be too fast paced and kill characters left and right without developing them properly first. They're more about shock value than anything else. This episode didn't lead me to think this show will handle it any differently. On top of that, the main character was pretty unlikable.
I'll give it a few more episode to see if it improves, otherwise I'll probably drop it for another anime (why are there so many anime on thursdays/fridays?).

But perhaps it's a matter of degrees and what type of characters really rub you the wrong way? I can imagine myself not caring about a MC if they really pushed my buttons, but this isn't one of them.

I remember reading the manga long ago (or at least jumping trough the chapters, so that I would leave the reading for the future).
Won't spoil the future content about new characters and team. However I might as well follow this anime and read the manga again.
Considering that manga had run for quite some time already, I don't think they will animate all the chapters right? Not to mention that its still on going as far as I remember.

I just can't believe the MC managed to survive all those bombs that were inches from his face with little to no injury. Yeah I'm guessing this story isn't going to be particularly well thought out and is going for cheap shock value entertainment but these are just first impressions. It was reasonably okay and I am interested in seeing where this'll go.

An interesting start to the series. That first antagonist must be the worst player possible. He kept missing, over and over, on an easy target. You knew he wasn't going to survive.
As for the MC, it looks like the bump to the head caused amnesia, which is so common in action stories, it's not even funny. The getting caught and stuck on a parachute and thrown into an unknown forest to fight instantly made me think of Predators (2010). Let's see where this story heads, as it seems like allies are going to made. We still don't even know what the rules and goals of this "game" is yet.

I don't remember if this has been mentioned, but did anyone else get the feeling that the mother knew something was going to happen to the MC when he left the house? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she was originally reached out for help in dealing with her son and unwittingly made a deal with the devil that could result in the MC's death.

This has the potential to really take off, especially here overseas since MADHOUSE has a great relationship with western media. For american folks, I could really see something like this getting a dub and airing on G4 or Spike TV.

I feel rather simpathy towards Ryouta, but at the same time despise him for trashing his own mother that cares very much for him. It seems this series have the same vibe as Mirai Nikki or Gantz, where innocent people get thrown into the middle of chaos and put in death or life situation where they should kill each other.
P.S. Does anyone notices that character design of Ryouta kinda reminiscence of Kira from Death Note?

I just wonder how the anime will deal with some *issues* about the past of some players. Obviously they didn't volunteer to get on that island.
In MC case its most likely his already freaky mother. Throwing a controller at such person wasn't the nicest and smartest idea, especially when you freeload for 2 years playing a game and hopping to get into game company.

Well this does seem like some crazy/twisted punishment. But who the heck would spend the resources to replicate these bombs (and weird gems) from the game just to punish people who's crimes are at the level of being jerks to their parents? Yeah I know the 'crimes' are bound to vary in terms of extremes, but this just seems weird. Frankly I wouldn't blame the mom too much for this. Guy freeloading for years hoping for a job that clearly isn't going to be extended to him. Of course with the ranking of his team he could just go pro gamer and make some money that way .
Either way I feel the challenge of this series is going to be finding a character who I can root for. I mean will support the lead in not dying, since he's not a terrible human being.

I won't say that its amazing but decent so far. It follows most of the manga from what I remember in the first episode but I can't shake this feeling of doubt and that I'll regret watching it. Luckily it finished much sooner before I had any reasons to bicker about it.
The Company behind Btoom! makes everyone looks like they're cracked up on something, at least they got that image right.

I'm always up for death and despair.
And, while I'm always more than willing to suspend disbelief for a work of fiction, what was a pretty well directed first episode was really ruined by how utterly stupid our protagonist was concerning the countdown timer. Especially seeing as he obviously understood it was a countdown timer when he first played with them.
But, death! Angst! I can overlook an author who I can predict is going to try so hard to deliver faux drama that he/she is unable to realize how such drama contradicts acts within his/her writing for plenty of good 'ol carnage and depression.

Sure is hard to root for someone who's obviously too dumb to live, it takes him three tries to figure out how the bomb works?! Come on. His VA isn't helping matters either.

High-Schoolers DonApril 13th, 2013
Mallard Fillmore - 03.29.07
Yesterday's Mallard Fillmore reminds me of those news reports and comic strips that say something like "Only 12% of high school seniors could point to Afghanistan on a map". These kind of stats are often combined with the number who could rattle of the most recent American Idol winner or the name of Paris Hilton's dog. The point of such statistics is to show how out of touch American youth are with things that are important in the grand scheme of things, and therefore how globally sheltered they are and how apathetic they may be in the future about world issues.
This particular comic puzzles me somewhat, though, because I don't quite understand how being ignorant of the ancient Jewish story translates into anything specifically harrowing. If the group polled was seniors in Christian or Jewish high schools, perhaps the point would be that these schools aren't doing a good enough job of teaching the faith to their students, and that would make much more sense.
Would Bruce Tinsley maintain that all students should be taught stories from the Bible and other religious texts? What is it about this particular story involving Sodom and Gomorrah (which are two cities, by the way) that makes Tinsley so shocked that it's not more well-known? I guess my main problem with the strip is that I don't quite understand what Mallard is getting at.
I checked out Amazon to see the book Mallard was referring to. In the book's description, it says:
"[The Author] begins this valuable primer by noting that religious illiteracy is rampant in the United States, where most Americans, even Christians, cannot name even one of the four Gospels. Such ignorance is perilous because religion "is the most volatile constituent of culture" and, unfortunately, often "one of the greatest forces for evil" in the world, he writes."
Based on that and the rest of the description, it seems that the book is probably pretty even-handed. It seems that the author thinks that religious literacy is necessary in the same way that World History is necessary; it's important to understand the past in order to fully understand the present, especially relating to various cultures around the world. In this, I absolutely agree. I feel like much of the semi-polarization between Christians and non-Christians in the US recently has been fueled by misconceptions of Christianity's history and teachings, even by self-proclaimed Christians themselves. A better understanding of all religions would probably be beneficial to all, but if that's Mallard Fillmore's point in this strip, it's not particularly clear.
As for keeping religion out of schools, quite frankly, I don't see why religion needs to play a formal role in school. However, there's no good reason to keep religion completely out of schools in an informal capacity (like a Bible club or a Muslim student group). In fact, it would seem that preventing those students who wish to participate in a religous activity would actually be taking away their First Amendment rights.
Despite what many people believe, the Bill of Rights actually says nothing about public schools, or even keeping religion out of publically-owned places and events. It simply keeps congress from respecting the establishment of a religion, or from preventing the free excercise of any religious belief. Preventing (voluntary) religious expression in a school woud seem to be going against the second part of it there.
Religion in schools (and other public places) is a hot button issue recently. What do you think about religion and public schools. Is it a bad idea to mix the two? Would it be breaking the 1st amendment to prohibit voluntary religious expression at school?
What about the book mentioned in the strip…. Do you think knowing religious history of religions you do not subscribe to are important to learn about for cultural reasons or for gaining a better understanding of others? I await your comments.

The Texans are encouraged by the initial progress of rookie wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
The team's first-round draft pick exited a preseason victory against Miami on Saturday due to a head injury.
"He's doing better (Sunday) and we will start the (concussion) protocol," Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said Sunday during a media interview.
Hopkins returned to the locker room before halftime Saturday to be evaluated. About five minutes after he'd been taken in, the former Clemson standout was ruled out of the game. He late confirmed he took a blow to the head but didn't remember any details and was not allowed to officially speak with media. Hopkins was in a good mood postgame, though, and was seen joking with teammates.
The rookie wideout had two receptions for 22 yards before the injury and has 74 receiving yards in two preseason contests.

Its never my intent to go so long in between posts! The days are just flying by!
I saw this idea over at my friend Mara's blog and loved the idea. Plus it only takes a few minutes, and any other post that is in the works, will take longer. So in no particular order of levels of excitement, here are 25 things about me that you may or may not know.
1- I was held up at gunpoint while working at a tanning salon on Valentines Day.
2- I was on a jury for a murder trial when I was 19.
3- I married my husband 16 days after our first date.
4- I keep my house pretty clean- except for my closet. That gets cleaned only once a month.
5- I like building Legos.
6- I hate watching movies where anything too sad happens, even if it ends good. Yep, that really limits my movie choices. I have however seen That Thing You Do, Newsies and The Notebook countless times.
7- I hate jean shopping. Big booty and shortish legs aren't a good combo apparently.
8- 9 times out of 10 I do my makeup in the car on the way to church.
9- I'm super close with my family and talk to at least one of them every day.
10-I didn't do any crafts or projects until about 4 years ago. Now I can't stop.
11- All 4 of my kids were born via c-section.
12- I'm married to a man who cleans without me having to ask him. Who also cooks, and plays adorably with the kids.
13- I'm only 27 and have tons of gray hair. I have to dye it a minimum of once a month.
14- I was on the swim team in 6th grade. I could have gone to the Olympics had I stuck with it. Just ask
my grandma, she told me so.
15- I was in the gifted program as an elementary student, but after I hit puberty my grades were horrible.
16- I've traveled all over Europe- Germany, Italy, London, Paris (and other parts of France), Switzerland, Spain, Holland, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria. I also went to Egypt. We want to explore Asia next. And Australia.
17- Monkeys freak me out. I'm especially terrified of gorillas.
18- Every night before bed I have an apple with natural crunchy peanut butter, while me and hubs watch a show. Currently its Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
19- I get sick of stuff real fast. My husband always says he's surprised I'm not sick of him yet. Seriously, I'm always changing stuff around the house, and don't like any of my clothes for very long.
20- I once took my brothers ADD medicine to study for a math test the next day. It worked incredibly and I got the best grade I've ever gotten in math. It was really hard not to take one again.
21- My dream is to have a party planning/catering business with my husband. I would do decorations/entertainment. He would be the caterer. He's a great cook and awesome at the presentation of food. Its cute to watch him make it pretty on the plate, and arrange it just so. Maybe after he retires from this job (he'll only be 44!)
22- We're done having kids, but I don't think I'll ever not miss having a newborn. There's just something about those tiny, fresh, straight from heaven, sleepy bodies!
23- My parents were right after all- I actually do wish I would've stuck with playing the piano. Or guitar. Or volleyball. Or basketball. Or track.
24- I love eating quinoa, as long as I don't look at it while I'm eating it. It grosses me out.
25- Lots of people think I'm Russian.

Leaders of most of the major U.S. farm organizations were disappointed but seemingly resigned to the collapse of the five-year-old Doha Round negotiations at the WTO's headquarters in Geneva July 24.
In press statements issued after WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy announced the suspension of the talks, farm groups said they could not have supported an agreement that promised no more than what appeared to be on the table when Lamy declared the negotiations at an impasse.
Typical of the sentiments was the statement released by the American Soybean Association, which had been hopeful that a new agreement would expand markets for U.S. soybeans in the European Union and in the so-called advanced developing countries.
"ASA is disappointed that WTO negotiators were unable to agree to meaningful trade reforms that would level the playing field for U.S. agricultural exports," said ASA President Rick Ostlie. "But we've said all along that ASA would not support a WTO agreement that failed to provide significant market access improvement for U.S. soybean and livestock products."
Ostlie joined other farm group leaders in praising the Bush administration for not weakening in its commitment to winning increased market access in the new trade agreement.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman said his organization regretted that the opportunity for fairer trading rules under a new Doha agreement had been missed in the collapse of the talks in Geneva. "Farmers and consumers all around the world had a lot to gain from the Doha Round of WTO trade negotiations," said Stallman.
"We stand behind our belief that freer and fairer agricultural trading rules would benefit all the people of the world. In the face of these talks being suspended, we will prepare to move forward with proposals to ensure that U.S. farmers have the kind of support they need to survive in today's global trading environment."
The National Cotton Council, an organization whose members may have had more to lose than gain in the Doha Round after the U.S. cotton program was singled out for special treatment, expressed its appreciation to Schwab and Johanns for refusing to "allow unwarranted pressures or deadlines to undermine the U.S. position.
"Ambassador Schwab and Secretary Johanns have demonstrated they clearly understand that the significant U.S. offer on market access, domestic agricultural support and export subsidies has not been matched," said NCC Chairman Allen Helms, a producer from Clarkedale, Ark.
"It may take longer than anticipated to bring the Doha Round to a successful conclusion, but the determination of the U.S. negotiating team is a positive sign for U.S. agriculture and for the world's agricultural producers."
Last October, Schwab's predecessor, former U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman, tabled a proposal that would have reduced U.S. farm subsidies by 60 percent following the completion of a Doha agreement. But Portman, Schwab and Johanns made it clear the U.S. subsidy cuts were contingent on tariff reductions in the European Union and other countries.
U.S., EU and other members of the G-6 countries — Australia, Brazil, the EU, India, Japan and the United States — continued to meet through the winter and into the spring, but the talks finally broke down in Geneva July 24 after the EU refused once again to make more than token reductions in its tariffs.
Peter Mandelson, the EU's trade minister, blamed the United States for the collapse of the talks, saying once again that the U.S. proposal would not produce "meaningful" reductions in domestic support. U.S. officials disagreed, noting again that the ceiling on U.S. Amber Box subsidies would decline from $19.1 billion to $7.6 billion under the U.S. offer.
Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, issued a statement from a farm bill hearing in Ankeny, Iowa, that indicated Mandelson's pronouncement was not unexpected.
"It is not surprising that the European Union continues to dodge blame for refusing to offer a serious market access proposal," he said. "Where the European Union desires a deal that only protects their farmers, the United States wants a good deal that lowers barriers to trade.
"The WTO is not a debating society. If the Europeans are serious about the negotiations, they will take advantage of this cooling off period and come back with a proposal that significantly reduces tariffs in developed and developing economies. The United States will not negotiate with itself in an endless cycle that builds barriers between trading partners."
Chambliss said Ambassador Schwab and Secretary Johanns deserved applause for "not caving to pressure calling on the United States to unilaterally disarm. They will be coming home knowing that farmers and ranchers across the country stand firmly behind them."
The USA Rice Federation also commended Schwab and Johanns for standing with the U.S. rice industry by "insisting that a Doha agreement provide U.S. farmers and exporters with real and measurable market access gains in order to justify cuts in U.S. farm programs.
"Despite press releases and rhetoric, it is clear that the market access offers by the European Union and several other WTO players are illusions and will not result in a real expansion in trade," the Federation said. "They simply don't stand up to the aggressive U.S. proposal tabled in October 2005, and the administration was right to stand firm."
A National Corn Growers Association representative echoed the sentiment that "no deal is better than a bad deal" that seemed to be running through the U.S. farm community after the collapse.
"We support the U.S. negotiators and their strong push for an ambitious market access package in any final agreement," said Bob Bowman, chairman of the NCGA's Joint Trade Policy A-Team. "We will continue to agree with the negotiators that no agreement would be better than a bad agreement that would negatively impact our producers.
"With that said, we are hopeful that we will be back at the table to work toward a final agreement."
Farm-state House members also praised the U.S. negotiators for not committing to a deal "that would have been bad for U.S. agriculture," according to Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas.
"Our trade team made the right decision to walk away from the table," he said. "A close look at the proposals from other countries shows that they were full of loopholes and would have resulted in little or no market access gains. We had the most ambitious offer on the table, but the U.S. was still told it was not enough."
One farm organization president said he was not surprised negotiators were unable to reach an agreement, citing what his group perceived as gaps in the agenda for bringing the Doha Round to a successful conclusion.
"We have felt from the beginning it would be difficult to come to a successful conclusion as long as the negotiators failed to include all factors of trade," said NFU President Tom Buis. "These negotiations continued the same free trade agenda that has not worked for U.S. farmers in the past, as demonstrated by the fact the U.S. agriculture trade surplus has virtually disappeared in the past decade."
Buis said NFU believes the WTO must address other issues such as labor standards, environmental standards and currency manipulation if a new Doha agreement is to be worthwhile.
"These are items that pit farmer vs. farmer and country vs. country to perpetuate this race to the bottom of commodity prices that benefits the international traders, but not farmers," he said. "The No. 1 goal should be profitability for all farmers from the marketplace."

WELLESLEY, Mass. - For the second time in three days, junior diver Doria Holbrook smashed Institute and conference records in the diving portion of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships, but it wasn't enough for MIT to hold off Springfield College, as the Pride overtook the Engineers on the final day of competition to claim its seventh straight title. Springfield finished with 812.5 points, while the Engineers closed in second-place for the eighth straight year with 717.5 points. Host Wellesley College claimed the third spot with a point total of 621.
Holbrook, who shattered the one-meter diving records on Friday, recorded an astonishing 553.30 in prelims of the three-meter before easily winning the event with a 514.85 in the finals. The Yakima, Wash., native surpassed the previous MIT record by almost 100 points, as Lori Blackwelder Peterson's 464.30 in 1985 was the previous standard. The highest previous conference mark had been 533.60.
However, the event's importance to Tech's point total was erased by the impressive Springfield divers, who claimed the next three spots after Holbrook. Erin White, Michelle Reggio and Melissa Nelson finished 2-3-4, respectively.
MIT had another record-breaker on the evening, as sophomore Nicole O'Keeffe's 2:26.54 in the 200-yard breaststroke was not only good enough for second-place and an NCAA "B" cut, but it also set a new Institute mark. O'Keeffe surely would've grabbed the win in the event if not for the amazing swim of the Pride's Moira Price, whose time of 2:20.95 reached the NCAA "A" cut.
The Cardinal and Gray did claim two victories in "B" consolation finals on the last day of swimming. First, freshman Stephanie Brown touched the wall ahead of all competitors in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:17.21. Then, in the final event of the competition, Tech's "B" 400-yard freestyle relay team of Abby Clark, Jackee Nowicke, Ashley Pinchinat and Jessica Harpole clocked in at 3:42.57 for the win.
Senior Katherine Thornton, ranked fourth in the country in the 1650-yard freestyle, placed second in the event with a time of 18:02.44. Springfield's Emily Sheahan was the impressive winner, finishing with an NCAA "B" cut time of 17:45.79.
Head coach Dawn Gerken singled out her graduating seniors and graduate students for special praise after what was their final competition for the Cardinal and Gray. Grad student Katrina Cornell and seniors Stephanie Sidelko, Harpole and Thornton were all praised for their hard work and dedication to MIT swimming and diving.
"I just want to thank all of our graduating athletes for everything that they did for this program over the years that they were a part of this team," she said. "They were truly a fun group, and working with them was one of the most rewarding experiences of my coaching career. All four girls helped this program grow tremendously and their contributions will be missed."

NEW YORK, NY, JULY 26, 2012 - Lifetime's new series The Week the Women Went will now premiere on Tuesday, August 14, at 10pm ET/PT, immediately following Dance Moms. Narrated by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, and produced by BBC Worldwide Productions, the five episode, one-hour unscripted series explores modern gender roles and finds out what happens when all of the women leave one American town, leaving the remaining men to run their households, businesses and community on their own. The previously announced new docu-series Prom Queens will be added back into the network's schedule at a later date.
Based on the ground-breaking British social experiment format from the BBC, The Week the Women Went focuses on the tight-knit community of Yemassee, South Carolina, from which its women left for one week last summer. With the women escaping to an isolated site, the town's men are left to handle all responsibilities --ranging from making the kids' breakfast and putting them to bed to maintaining their households and coordinating events -- many of which resulted in unforeseen issues forcing them to create a new perspective on life during the seven day experience. Filled with a wide range of dramatic challenges and shocking emotions, The Week the Women Went will reveal what the men and women of Yemassee surprisingly learn about themselves and their roles in the home, relationships and society as close friendships are tested, unsung heroes recognized, old rivalries renewed and deep secrets exposed during their time apart. Yemassee, located more than 240 miles northwest of Atlanta, was selected for The Week the Women Went after an extensive search that included nearly 100 towns in the U.S.
The Week the Women Went is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Jon Kroll (Big Brother, Amazing Race, Amish In The City) is executive producer. Elli Hakami (Dual Survivor, Gold Rush: Alaska) and Jane Tranter (Top Gear, Dancing with the Stars, Torchwood), are executive producers for BBC Worldwide Productions. Rob Sharenow, Gena McCarthy, Colleen Conway and Noah Pollack are executive producers for Lifetime.
The Week the Women Went first debuted on BBC Three in the U.K. in 2005, when it quickly became one of the channel's highest-rated unscripted entertainment series of the year. The program has since been successfully formatted in a number of international territories, including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, India, Norway, Morocco and Sweden.
Lifetime Television is committed to offering the highest quality entertainment and information programming, and advocating a wide range of issues affecting women and their families. The network posted major growth in viewership among the key demographics in Second Quarter 2012 versus Second Quarter 2011, posting a 13% jump among Women 18-49, +5% among Adults 18-49 and +1% in Women 25-54. Additionally, among Women 18-49, Lifetime marked the network's strongest 2Q growth in 10 years.

Billionaire Chen Guangbiao is taking China's air pollution problem into his own hands – by launching a line of canned air. In a move that rivals a scene out of Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, the entrepreneur has created a line of designer air and is selling it for market consumption to raise awareness of the thick smog that has become the norm in Beijing. As North China's air quality has pushed the limits of the Air Quality Index over the past month, Guangbiao hopes his canned air stunt will snap leaders into accepting the hazardous reality of Beijing's air pollution problem.
Blankets of smog envelop the city of Beijing, which has an alarming concentration of airborne PM 2.5 particulates. Since last Friday these small, harmful toxins have measured at amounts twenty times higher than the World Health Organization air quality standard.
Guangbiao's tongue-in-cheek attempt to quickly raise awareness stems from his very realistic fear that China's air quality could deteriorate so drastically in 20 or 30 years that navigating the streets would be impossible without gas masks or oxygen tanks. The quirky campaign features a line of the canned air in "flavors" that reference less industrial times or regions, such as pristine Tibet, post-industrial Taiwan and revolutionary Yan'an. The entrepreneur, whose fortune is valued at $740 million, is also a heavy advocate of bicycle riding over driving – in the past he has given away 5,000 bikes to citizens to further his point.
With PM 2.5 particulates at an all-time high, Guangbiao's canned air stunt, may foreshadow a harsh reality in the future if no action is taken. Guangbiao has faced criticism and is accused of pulling the stunt just to further his own business, but the unlikely environmentalist has the power to bring media attention to some very serious issues.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 12, 2013) – With a chance to get back in the race for at Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title, the ETSU men's basketball team will welcome league-leading Florida Gulf Coast to the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The Buccaneers (3-13 overall, 1-2 A-Sun) are coming off a tough 72-70 loss to Stetson on Thursday night. Meanwhile, FGCU (12-6, 4-1) enjoyed an overtime win over USC Upstate that same evening.
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes located below or click on the game notes link above. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team will enter the new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season ... The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones missed the first seven games of the year for academic reasons ... Jones returned against Ole Miss on Dec. 14 ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU will be looking to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) are expected to increase their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) will look to blossom into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton will need help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville).
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2013) – Despite placing three players in double figures and producing one of its best offensive games of the year, the ETSU men's basketball team was unable to put out a red-hot Stetson squad as the Hatters upended the Buccaneers 72-70 in Atlantic Sun Conference action Thursday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... With the loss, the Bucs dropped to 3-13 on the year, 1-2 in A-Sun action, while Stetson improved to 6-10, 3-2 on the season. ... Indeed, the Bucs were much better offensively than they have been much of the season, shooting 52 percent from the floor and 38 percent from 3-point range. However, Stetson was equally impressive with a 50 percent clip from both the floor and beyond the arc. But it was their 11 3-pointers and a 13-of-18 showing at the foul line that was the difference.
ETSU got a game-high 21 points from freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville), while senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) pitched in 19 points and junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) netted a career high 16. ... For Stetson, Adam Pegg and Chris Perez both scored a team-high 17 points, while teammate Aaron Graham dropped in 13 for the Hatters. ... In the first half, the Hatters got off to a quick 6-0 start on back-to-back 3-pointers, and with the score later tied at 8-8, Stetson went on a 14-2 run to enjoy its biggest lead of the half at 22-10. ETSU responded at that point with a 10-3 run of its own to make it 25-20 with just over five minutes left before the break. ... Back-to-back 3-pointers from Stetson's Tanner Plemmons and Adam Pegg stopped the ETSU momentum to make it 31-20, but the Bucs again battled to get to within 37-32 with just seconds left in the half thanks to a 3-pointer by Jones. Unfortunately for the Bucs, the Hatters' Chris Perez ended the half with his own 3-pointer to make it 40-32 at the break. ... Stetson was electric on offense in the first half, hitting on 56 percent of its shots and connecting on a 62-percent clip from 3-point range – which included eight made baskets from outside. ... In the second half, ETSU got to within five points on multiple occasions, but found itself trailing 67-54 with just over seven minutes left. The Bucs went to a full-court and man-to-man defense at that point, and it resulted in a 16-5 run to finish out the contest. However, the change was too little too late, as the Hatters hit just enough foul shots to keep the Bucs at bay.
The series versus FGCU
In a series that began in 2008, the Bucs own a 8-2 advantage in the all-time record books against FGCU ... ETSU's last meeting with the Eagles came on Feb. 25, 2012, an 84-71 home loss.
Last time out versus FGCU
JOHNSON CITY (Feb. 25, 2012) – With its three seniors scoring in double figures and junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) posting a game-high 23 points, the ETSU men's basketball team made sure 2012 Senior Day was remembered fondly, leading from wire-to-wire and dropping Florida Gulf Coast 84-71 in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... Along with Dubose, senior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) scored 19 points on the night and eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career thanks to a free throw with 1:09 left in the game. Meanwhile, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) netted 20 points and senior guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) pitched in 15. ... For the game, ETSU shot 51 percent from the floor and 54 percent from 3-point range (7-of-13). The Bucs also forced FGCU into 20 turnovers and collected 16 steals on the evening. ... The Bucs threw the first punch, scoring the initial 12 points of the game and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way. FGCU would get as close as nine at 27-18, but ultimately trailed 40-26 at the break. ... After the intermission, ETSU pulled away to hold an advantage of as many as 22 points at 66-43. The Eagles never surrendered the game though, and battled back to make it 78-69 with a minute left in the contest. However, from there ETSU pulled away for the 13-point victory.
Bucs off to toughest start since 1975-76
ETSU has enjoyed its share of success over the last three-plus decades, but the 2012-13 season has been a tough one so far for the Bucs ... With a win Monday at Northern Kentucky, the Bucs snapped a nine-game losing streak and moved to 3-12 on the season ... Prior to that win, ETSU was off to the worst start for the program since the 1975-76 team began the year at 2-13 ... That 1975-76 team and the 1964-65 squad both hold the record for fewest wins by an ETSU team in the modern era, as both finished their seasons with just six wins.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 154-53 overall inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... But when looking at the past 11 years, the Bucs are an even more impressive 47-8 against non-conference opponents ... Last year, the Bucs went 10-3 overall at the Dome and a perfect 4-0 against non-conference opponents.
New lighting system for the Mini-Dome
The game with VCU marked a new look for the Buccaneers home court inside the ETSU/MSHA Atheltic Center ... Over the holiday break, a new lighting system and championship banners were installed inside the Dome, creating a more "basketball friendly" environment ... Along with the new LED digital boards along the floor, a renovated "Courtside Club" for donors, and the team's new practice facility which was completed earlier this year, there have been over $1 million in basketball improvements made to the Dome this year alone.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has used 13 different starting lineups in the team's 16 games this season ... Injuries and dismissals have left the ETSU coaching staff searching for the right combination to start games, as the team currently stands 3-13 on the year.
Gadsden-Gilliard shows signs of production
Early in the season, ETSU coaches spoke openly about the potential junior transfer Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) to produce quality numbers ... Thirteen games into the season KGG had struggled to meet those predictions, but that changed against Lipscomb (1/5) ... Setting or matching personal bests for points (13), rebounds (7), assists (3) and free throws (3) in 30 minutes of action, KGG played arguably his best game of the season so far.
Jones meeting expectations for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow expected the return of senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) would improve his team's efforts on the offensive end of the floor … He was right. … After posting a career-high 21 points against No. 4 Arizona, followed by a team-high 14 against Hawaii and another team-best 17 against San Francisco, Jones is now averaging 13.3 points per game in his eight outings since returning from academic probation against Ole Miss back on Dec. 14.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaging 15.5 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted five 20-plus point games so far this season.
Buccaneers still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has 10 players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, and of that group there are only six total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 780 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.

The House Agriculture Committee voted to end conservation and farm program payments for farmers with adjusted gross incomes of more than $1 million and bar all producers from receiving payments for more than one farm entity.
The new payment limits rules are among a long list of changes approved for the committee's version of the 2007 farm bill that left the basic structure of the legislation largely in tact.
Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, who has said he favored using the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 as a base for the new law Congress is scheduled to pass before Sept. 30, said the committee bill contains some new features for farmers left out of previous bills.
"This farm bill provides strong programs that will help American agriculture meet the 21st Century needs of the United States and the world with a safe, stable food supply, nutrition assistance, environmental benefits and renewable energy products," said Peterson, a Democrat from Minnesota.
"We have incorporated some new ideas and important reforms in this farm bill, focusing farm program benefits so they get to real farmers and boosting investment in programs that help those who haven't received benefits through the farm bill."
The new farm bill, which is expected to go to the House floor before the scheduled Aug. 4 recess, would also provide farmers with a choice of safety net programs: either the traditional, price-based counter-cyclical payment or the revenue-based CCP supported by the National Corn Growers Association and USDA.
The bill would also provide for the first time more than $1.6 billion "to strengthen and support the fruit and vegetable industry in the United States."
The committee's efforts to focus farm program benefits do not go far enough to suit environmental and other interest groups such as the Sustainable Agriculture Coalition and the Environmental Working Group that have been demanding farm bill reforms that would eliminate "big payments to wealthy farmers."
EWG President Ken Cook complained that the Congressional Budget Office's scoring of savings of $45 million per year for the House ag committee new payment limit amount to no savings at all.
"At the level of these savings, it is obvious that Mr. Peterson's proposal will have no effect on the flow of taxpayer funds to the largest, wealthiest subsidized farms in the country, and once again leave less for people and priorities that have gone begging for farm bill support year after year," said Cook.
The Sustainable Agriculture Coalition noted the committee bill would increase the current limit on direct and counter-cyclical payments from $210,000 to $250,000 a year and remove any cap on marketing loan gains while focusing attention on a means test for adjusted gross income.
"The House should not be fooled by watching the hand that goes after millionaires, while missing the hand with the extra $40,000 in goodies for the mega farms," said the Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's Ferd Hoefner. "Bribing mega farms in order to be allowed to try to catch a few millionaires is a raw deal."
Farm-state members such as Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, said the change in payment limit rules reflects the reality commercial, row-crop farmers face in the debate over the 2007 law.
"We were able to work with commodity groups and their leadership to come up with a compromise on this issue," he said. "(House) Speaker Pelosi says that she will back this bill in its current form. It is important to have the leadership behind us as we take the farm bill to the House floor."
The ag committee also adopted an amendment barring the closing of any county field office of the Farm Service Agency, the Rural Development Agency or the Natural Resources Conservation Service for one year after passage of the new farm bill.

Haslett pleased with offseason program
Fans can get their first look at the 2005 Saints this weekend at the team's only full-squad minicamp.
The Saints will have two practices today and another Saturday at the team's training facility in Metairie. The public will be able to attend Friday's afternoon practice from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and at Saturday's practice, from 10 a.m. to noon. Gates will open an hour before practice begins.
After Saturday, the team will break until training camp opens July 29.
Saints coach Jim Haslett said he has been pleased with his team's participation and performance in the offseason program. He canceled Saturday's scheduled afternoon practice as a reward.
"They've been awesome this year," Haslett said. "The attitude and work ethic is the best it's been since I've been here. They deserve it."
The Saints have been in practice mode for four weeks, going through 13 days of voluntary coaching sessions. Everyone on the team participated, except for starting right cornerback Fakhir Brown, who held out in hopes of a better contract.
Unlike the coaching sessions, this weekend's minicamp is mandatory, so Brown will be fined if he does not attend. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he does not know if Brown planned to participate. Brown's agent, Ted Marchibroda Jr., did not return calls seeking comment.
This weekend's practices will resemble the Saints' regular-season practice format, Haslett said, and they will serve as a review for the team.
All 13 coaching sessions were used for installation of the entire playbook on offense and defense.
"We installed every single day, almost a season's worth of plans," defensive coordinator Rick Venturi said. "There's probably 45 blitzes. Now, would you use 45 blitzes in a game? No. And do we execute them perfectly yet? No. But when we get to play the Vikings or somebody this year, we would have at least already looked at that blitz.
"My whole thing is you paint the wall. You paint it broadly the first time. You keep painting it, more sticks and more sticks."
Venturi said the coaching sessions probably are the most difficult teaching sessions of the entire year, because of the volume of information and because of the different learning curves of each player.
For example, Venturi said, at the safety position, there's fifth-year Saint Jay Bellamy, first-year free agent Dwight Smith and rookie Josh Bullocks, among others.
This weekend, getting to look at everything for a second time, Venturi said he expects the Saints to pick up the tempo and improve their execution.
Offensive coordinator Mike Sheppard has had more teaching to do since the entire offense is learning new, abbreviated terminology that the coaches installed this winter.
Sheppard said everyone has been adjusting well, and for the past month, coaches have raved about the offense's rhythm and attitude.
"From our standpoint as coaches, these guys have busted their tails," said Sheppard, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach after last season. "I mean, it's been an unusual 13 days from an effort standpoint, focus, all those things you'd hope those players would be. These guys have had a great 13 days."
When asked to name one player who has stood out to him, Sheppard chose fifth-year tailback Deuce McAllister, whom the Saints hope to center their offense around this season.
"Just watching Deuce hit the hole has been pretty good," Sheppard said. "He's playing at a faster pace, I think."
Fans will notice one change on offense this weekend when they see quarterback Aaron Brooks wearing a wristband with a lengthy playlist printed on it. Sheppard radios in a play number to Brooks, and Brooks reads off the play in the huddle. That gets the offense to the line of scrimmage faster.
The Saints have been working with the wristband for a little more than a week but have not yet decided if they will use it during the season.

Remember how leftists were accusing Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck of being a polarizing figure after and especially before his "Restoring Honor" rally? He was too outspoken, not nuanced enough. Well, how about this?
MSNBC's Ed Schultz at "One Nation": "We must fight the forces of evil – the conservatives."
He went on to say that:
They want it for them, they don't want it for the people. They talk about the Constitution, but they don't want to live by it. They talk about our forefathers, but they want discrimination. They want to change this country.
If that's not "polarizing," I don't know what is. "They want discrimination"? Really? Strange, I've never heard, say, a Tea Party speaker advocate reintroducing segregation. In fact, if memory serves me well, Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally featured several prominent African American speakers, who demanded an end to Obama's "divide-and-conquer"-politics. If conservatives "want discrimination," why is it that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece, Alveda King, was happy to accept Beck's invitation to speak at his event, that stressed moral values such as honor, honesty and respect?
As usual, it is the so-called liberals, not conservatives who are trying to divide the country and who count numerous polarizing figures such as Ed Schultz among their ranks. You'd almost think that they are simply projecting their own beliefs on the conservative movement.
You can watch Schultz displaying his unbelievable amount of hatred for conservatives in this video:

Scandinavian Chic: Dark Façades
Scandinavian design is often associated with clean, white interiors and modern furniture. But the exterior of the architecture often reflects something much darker — façades clad in dark hues ranging from weathered grays to jet blacks. They are dramatic and cozy all at the same time, and especially inspiring.

One of the most depressing things about the period after 9/11 was the rapid disintegration and recuperation by the trad left of the energy of the 1990s "anti-capitalist" movement. The 1990s movement had several flaws – its narrow concentration on institutions like the IMF and World Bank as shadowy cabals directing the economy, the culturally conservative critique of globalism, the creation of a self-contained protest ghetto divorced from ordinary people and with its own exclusive dress and behaviour codes, the mindless insurrectionism of the movement's "spiky" wing and empty-headed pacifism of its "fluffy" wing, and the routine repetition of spectacular but pointless counter-summits as a dominant activity – but it was also very inspiring. Its utopian promise of the possibility of another world, its clean break from the drab industrial statism of the workerist left, its sense of fun and pleasure, its affirmation of the transformative power of participatory democracy, and the sophisticated way it connected different local everyday struggles into a planetary worldview. (In fact, the concept of the planetary, put on the agenda by the Zapatistas, was a tremendous step forwards from the internationalism of the trad left, which was always an inter-nationalism rather than a genuinely global view.)
After 9/11, and especially after the start of the 2003 Gulf War, radical energy turned increasingly towards inter-nationalist geopolitics, and the orthodox left's pseudo-anti-imperialist politics subordinated local struggles in both the global South and the global North to an overwhelming imperative to break American (and Israeli) "imperialist" power. In the pursuit of this imperative, radicals increasingly entered into alliance with reactionary nationalist powers and clerical-reactionary movements because of a common enemy. Radicals embraced the conservative idea of a clash of civilisations, taking sides with jihadists and authoritarian demagogues. Democratic, participatory, networked modes of organisation were repressed in favour of centralist party-building.
There is always a danger that some rightists will come to Occupy movement events to harass or attack leftists, or act as spies or provocateurs. More commonly, rightists see the movement as an opportunity to gain credibility, win new recruits, or build coalitions with leftists. When pitching to left-leaning activists, these right-wingers emphasize their opposition to the U.S. economic and political establishment--but downplay their own oppressive politics. In place of systemic critiques of power, rightists promote distorted forms of anti-elitism, such as conspiracy theories or the belief that government is the root of economic tyranny. We've seen this "Right Woos Left" dynamic over and over, for example in the anti-war, environmental, and anti-globalization movements.
Inevitably, anti-Semitism emerges in right-wing populist exploitation of rage against financial elites... [And] just because right-wing pundits use the charge of anti-Semitism as a baseball to beat OWS with doesn't mean (as the movement's defenders reflexively argue) that it is free from any taint of anti-Semitism. In fact, OWS web pages are positively infested with Jew-hating comments—possibly left by mere Internet trolls rather than actual activists, but still met with little protest or repudiation.
Unlimited greed for gain is not in the least identical with capitalism, and is still less its spirit. Capitalism may even be identical with the restraint, or at least a rational tempering, of this irrational impulse. But capitalism is identical with the pursuit of profit, and forever renewed profit, by means of continuous, rational, capitalistic enterprise. For it must be so: in a wholly capitalistic order of society, an individual capitalistic enterprise which did not take advantage of its opportunities for profit-making would be doomed to extinction.
It did not take people very long after the recent unrest in the UK to notice how alienated we are from one another within our supposed 'communities'. But there is more to this than simply getting along with those you happen to live in close proximity with. What we have seen playing itself out in the media and on the streets in recent weeks are the multiple lines of conflict that weave their way through society, pitting white against black, black against brown, the less poor against the more poor, the unemployed against the workers, the looting youth against the small business owners.
The current protests and insurrections erupting in the wake of the crisis are – unlike the previous cycle of counterglobalisation struggles – much more explicitly directed to the politics of the local and everyday whilst recognising the connections across local and national boundaries... Of concern is how to connect the different struggles against austerity measures and cuts, debt, climate change, gentrification and housing, the crisis of care and social reproduction.
