...total blockade of the disputed territory was horrific, and we demanded that Israel relent on its hard-line policy against the ordinary people of Gaza. While Israel is right to seek to protect its people from indiscriminate rocket fire, its disproportionate response likely caused more harm than good.Meanwhile, Moscow rang in the New Year by shutting off gas supplies to Ukraine once again in a pricing dispute that has been heavily tinged by geopolitics. Eastern Europe, which has suffered heavily from the recent economic downturn, was further destabilized by this move. But the chilling news from Ukraine was offset...
...Many TV genres have shorter shelf lives than organic produce: the curtain rang down on variety shows in the 1970s, while the Western rode into the sunset long ago.

Lowell House’s newly molded Russian bells rang in their inaugural performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture—a piece that explicitly called for Russian bells—on Sunday.

It felt like we were taking fire from all sides, but in the dark it's hard to tell...

Initially, the Minister for Communications, Stephen Conroy, denied that the list on Wikileaks and the ACMA blacklist are the same, a denial that rang a little hollow when one of its partners, the Internet Industry Association (IIA), publicly condemned the release and posting of the list.
