Culture Buzz Moving, tragic, awe-inspiring photos and the tales of how they came to be. Reuters released a year-end round up of their best photographs and had the photographers provide a sort of director's commentary. Compelling stuff.
Culture Buzz Here's how (some) Penn State students reacted to the firing of Coach Joe Paterno. If you didn't already know, Paterno was fired because he found out his assistant coach was molesting children back in 2002 and didn't do anything about it. All of this is so sickening.
This dog once again joins in on the chanting, marching and tear gas in the Greek capital. Still unclear: what is this dog’s name? Sausage, Kanellos, and Louk have all been reported as his name.

Darcus Howe, a writer and broadcaster who has lived in London for 50 years, gets into it with a BBC reporter over the rioting that's engulfed England. Howe calls the riots an “insurrection” and is repeatedly interrupted by the reporter (who keeps calling him “Marcus Dowe”) when talking about the abuse of young black men by British police. In exasperation he eventually exclaims, “Show some respect for an old West Indian negro.” (via theatlanticwire.com)
Culture Buzz UPDATE: Parliament has passed the austerity measures, paving the way for financial assistance from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund which will hopefully stabilize not just the Greek economy, but the world economy. Unrest continues in the streets of Athens.

Police have responded with tear gas and batons. If parliament doesn't pass the cost-cutting plan, Greece will not receive a bailout package from the European Union. Without the aid package, Greece will default on its debt, sending shock waves through the world economy.

Nothing says standing up for what you believe in like setting a police car on fire, after finishing your finest naked trumpet solo. Did I mention there was body paint involved?
I'll say this about the rioters in Kyrgyzstan: They know how to dress. This Reuters photos shows a protester in Bishkek carrying a riot shield, shouldering an RPG and sporting APC jeans
Whilst jumping on taxis in celebration of your local sports team's championship, it's crucial to have an exit plan. This guy, regrettably, did not. And so he fell. Hard. Be careful out there folks.
