...Europeans say, “footballing” when Walter and Clem accidentally collided knee-to knee in an unbridled explosion of full contact dude-ness.BAM! Walt was on the ground, obviously in a bunch of pain. His knee had gotten smacked pretty good. Now, at this point, a lesser man might have lashed out at Clem for his role in having facilitated the collision. But no. There was no blame to be placed here, no mud to sling. Walty understood that knee collisions where a very real possibility in a heated game of shirtless soccer, and after a brief string...
...website betrays this sort of haphazard agenda. “Because not being a rapist is not enough,” writes one member. In a video, another encourages his fellow males to speak out against rape jokes. (Is this the sort of innovative thinking that makes the Harvard man?) But where the site is not merely bland, it is alarmist and misleading. The site provides little in the way of actual rape statistics, except for reporting that, “by most estimates, between one in three to one in five women will experience sexual or domestic violence...
Should the politicians fail to agree on a new power sharing formula, prospects increase for a military takeover.

"They don't go out and buy Colgate, do they?" she tells me. Says Looseyia's partner Gerard Beaton: "The tourists all come for the animals, but in the end it's the people that touch them...
...tightened its position on access to civilian refugees, whom it calls the beneficiaries of "the largest hostage rescue in the world's history." The Army's screening of civilians, for example, in which suspected LTTE fighters are weeded out of the civilian exodus, happens in a sort of no man's land just outside the combat zone, between the areas served by the Red Cross and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). That means there is no monitoring of how interrogations are being conducted, or how suspected LTTE fighters are being treated. "We still don't have access...
