Why China's Sex Tape Scandal Isn't True Corruption Crackdown - New Tang Dynasty Television

Sex tapes. Extortion. Prostitution. It's all over the media in China—even state-run media. Last November, one official from Chongqing, Lei Zhengfu, was sacked after whistleblower Zhu Ruifeng released a video of Lei sleeping with an 18-year-old girl. The video was secretly filmed back in 2007 by a developer who was trying to bribe and extort officials for favorable business deals. And just last week, 10 more officials were fired as part of the same scandal. Does this case mean China's new leadership is truly determined to crack down on corruption? Why did it take so long to come to light? And what connection does it have with Bo Xilai, the former Party head of Chongqing? 

No, Seriously, the NFL Really Does Have a Domestic Violence Problem - Slate Magazine (blog)

The data are inconclusive. The most recent year for which the Bureau of Justice Statistics has comprehensive arrest data is 2010. That year, according to the Union-Tribune database, 8 NFL players were charged with intimate violence crimes, which equates to 4.7 players out of 1000. (The numbers are similar for 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.) According to the BJS Arrest Data Analysis Tool, in 2010, approximately 600 out of every 100,000 men—6 out of 1,000—were arrested for "other assaults," a category that includes but is not limited to non-rape intimate violence crimes. This includes all men, not just those in the NFL age bracket; it also includes all assaults, not just intimate violence assaults.

Four People Arrested on Drug Charges After Two Men Supposedly Sold Drugs ... - WDTV

Love Canal Was Supposed to Cause Cancer. How Many People Died? - Slate Magazine

Ninety percent of cancer is environmental—we heard that again and again. Some of our fears were rooted in a misunderstanding. Epidemiologists define environment very broadly to include everything that is not the direct result of heredity—smoking, eating, exercise, the bearing of children, sexual habits, any kind of behavior or cultural practice. Viruses, exposure to sunlight, radon, cosmic rays—these are all defined as environmental. There was a chance of a person getting a head start on cancer by inheriting a damaged gene. But most of the mutations that triggered a malignancy were those acquired during life. That was encouraging news for public health and prevention. But it was often misconstrued to mean that almost all cancer was brought on by pollution, pesticides, and industrial waste.

"Americans Kill People": Michael Moore on Newtown, Mass Shootings, and the ... - Democracy Now

All the wrong people are in prison in this country. I can't believe we're just standing blocks away from the biggest criminal operation that this country has ever seen, right down that street, and not one of them has gone to prison for what they've done. When you have eliminated so many millions of jobs, when you've ruined communities like mine, Flint, Michigan, you have killed people, because—because having seen firsthand the effects of these corporate decisions—the alcoholism, the drug abuse, divorce, suicide, all the social problems that go along with this act of violence—but we don't call it violence, and no one's ever arrested for it—I think it's a real shame. And frankly, as an American, this is not how I want to be remembered.
