www.activistpost.comJournalists attacked by thugs while investigating land grab protests in Panhe, Zhejiang
The current tension in Panhe began with the local village committee’s selling of villagers’ land to various developers, which took place without either the knowledge or consent of local villagers. The scheme, which had been going on for years, finally resulted in a confrontation between Panhe villagers and a Wenzhou copper company in June of last year. Various residents, including women and the elderly, received injuries in the conflict.With authorities continuing to ignore the grievances reported by villagers, Panhe residents retaliated in October by attacking the property of another local company. A separate confrontation later in the month between villagers and local police and government officials saw the authorities being temporarily driven out of Panhe.

NYT Jerusalem bureau chief tells WFB she has no “assessment” on claims that Israel is an “apartheid state”
( Reading the article rather than just the Fox News style headlines makes it look more like a staged attempt to establish legitimacy )
Policing the discourseThe New York Times’ newly appointed Jerusalem bureau chief played Twitter footsie on Tuesday with some of Israel’s most extreme non-terrorist critics.Yes, thats correct, even ‘non-terrorist’ (!!!!) critics of Israel should be out of bounds for the New York Times Jerusalem correspondent. I have previously commented on attempts like this to police debate, but I wonder if Adam could tell us, just who the New York Times (and indeed the entire MSM) is allowed to have contact with…to adequately report on a conflict with two opposing sides?

Obama seeks $5 billion to transform teaching
President Barack Obama's administration wants states to compete for a share in $5 billion in federal grants to overhaul their teacher training colleges and create new standards to evaluate teachers.But that fund is subject to congressional approval, and Republicans have already served notice that they intend to fight new spending initiatives. All four Republican candidates seeking to challenge Obama in November's election have called for greatly reducing the federal role in education.
On the state level, it is unclear where legislators will find the resources to raise teachers' salaries or offer sizeable bonuses to the most effective teachers, as Duncan has urged. Many states have cut tens of millions in education funding in recent years as they grapple with enormous budget deficits.
Duncan's rebuke of teacher colleges is also likely to arouse opposition from the institutions themselves. His description of many schools as ineffective rankles teacher educators such as Michael Morehead, dean of New Mexico State University's College of Education.
'MISPERCEPTION'
In recent years, Morehead said teacher training colleges had dramatically boosted their standards

Private corrections firm proposes new rip-off: Buy prisons in 48 states, keep them full for 20 years
Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America has a plan to expand its growing empire of private prisons it owns or manages. It wants buy existing prisons. The pitch is that this will help states with their revenue problems by providing a one-time lump-sum payment in exchange for a 20-year management contract and assurance that the prison will stay at 90 percent capacity during that time. A sweetheart deal.
