「いけてない娘」に萌え 玄米酒、ネット通販で人気 浜松
しょんぼりしてうつむいた少女のイラストがラベルに印刷された玄米酒が話題だ。少女を描いたのは福島県で被災した女性。快活な女性の絵にする予定が、震災のショックからか笑顔が描けなくなった。震災から半年が経ち、９月からの新たなラベルでは、少女ははにかんだ表情になり、少し元気が出てきた様子だ。
・・・・・
４月になってようやく連絡が取れたが、女性が改めて描いたイラストは、がっくりと肩を落としてウサギをつかむ無気力な表情の少女。久米さんは「元気な女性を描いて」と頼んだが、女性は震災のショックからか、「いまは描けない」と話したという。
一時は販売中止も考えたが、少女が少しずつ笑顔になるデザインをいくつか用意し、売れるごとにラベルを貼り替えていくことを提案。女性も承諾した。売り上げの一部は被災地への義援金に回し、少女の笑顔を震災の復興と重ね合わせることにしている
「震災のショックからか笑顔が描けなくなった」---やっぱ、そりゃショックだったろうなああ。泣けてくる。
可愛らしいイラストだ。

By Frank Brunner in Nový Bor, Czech Republic
For weeks there have been riots between Czech locals and newly settled Roma in northern Bohemia. What started as a series of brutal but isolated fights has grown into a popular movement in small towns along the eastern German border. Right-wing extremists have fanned the hatred.

Greenwashing after the Phase-Out
German 'Energy Revolution' Depends on Nuclear Imports
By Laura Gitschier and Alexander Neubacher
Germany's decision to phase out its nuclear power plants by 2022 has rapidly transformed it from power exporter to importer. Despite Berlin's pledge to move away from nuclear, the country is now merely buying atomic energy from neighbors like the Czech Republic and France.

2 Men Convicted In Race-Related Reno Area Beating
Two 31-year-old men await sentencing Nov. 17 after being convicted in a race-related attack that killed a woman in a Reno-area home.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports a Washoe District Court jury on Tuesday convicted Ronald Hulsey and Jeremy Turner in the August 2010 beating death of 57-year-old Carolyn Faircloth in Sun Valley.
Investigators say Faircloth, who is white, tried to intervene when the two men attacked and injured her son, Carl Roberts, who is black.
They say Turner punched Faircloth, and Hulsey kicked her in the head.
Prosecutors say Turner was incensed in part because Fairchild had fathered a child with a black man.
According to trial testimony, Turner told sheriff’s detectives that he is “straight white pride” and is “a white boy who hates all (expletives).” Turner said his main target had been Roberts, because Roberts criticized him for dangling his infant daughter upside-down and for his hatred of blacks.

A 14-year old boy from Glace Bay, Cape Breton has been the target of continuous racial abuse and the public has been asked to attend a meeting to address the issue.
According to Theressa Brewster, the chair of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the teen has been bullied over the past three years because he is black. Last week, he was physically assaulted.
“The kids are tormenting [him] because of his size – he is about 6’3 – and because of his colour,” she said. “The kids are making really devastating racial comments.

アメリカ人歌手が、空港ーーーあれはスペインの空港だったらしい（他の記事で読んだ）ーーーーでイギリス人に奴隷などと誹謗された事件に関して、言われるほど悪くないが、しかし、悪くなる徴候がある、と。
そんなに悪くない、と言おうとして、
Let's start with the good stuff. Britain is one of the most liberal, most tolerant countries in the world. Given the challenges it faces from diverse, ever-changing communities in the major conurbations, it manages its affairs with a remarkable degree of harmony. We live, indigenous and non-indigenous, in relative proximity. Generally speaking, we don't much like extremism or extremists. For less good examples, look to bits of Europe that don't cope so well: look at France, look at Germany; look at Italy. No, don't look at Italy – well, not directly. The soul can only take so much horror.
イギリスは、過激派に対する態度として、フランスやドイツやイタリアよりまし、というところが、イギリスっぽいかもしれない。
Dockhand files racial discrimination lawsuit after physical assault by co-workers
9/16/2011 11:21 AM By Michelle Keahey
A Mississippi dockhand is suing his employer for racial discrimination after co-workers physically assaulted him, causing him to flee the boat and swim to shore.
Douglas Clayton filed suit against John W. Stone Oil Distributor on Sept. 9 in federal court in New Orleans.
Clayton was working as a dockhand for the defendant from May 6, 2010 to Nov. 9, 2010. He states during his employment, he was regularly subjected to race-based harassment by various employees, including being the butt of "black jokes," and being subjected to other improper racial comments. He states he reported this behavior to Human Resources Manager and was transferred to another boat.
According to the lawsuit, the harassment continued and he was told to "lighten up." The same day, he learned that an employee that was harassing him on the previous boat was being transferred to the boat that Clayton was now assigned.
Clayton states he was physically assaulted and battered by this employee and others, causing him to flee the boat and swim to shore.
He was terminated for job abandonment.

Oklahoma bondage enthusiast avoids jail in abuse case
Prosecutors drop felony kidnapping, domestic violence charges against bondage master accused of attacking his slave. Richard Wise pleads guilty to misdemeanor.
BY TIM WILLERT twillert@opubco.com
Published: September 16, 2011
A bizarre case reached its conclusion when a bondage master accused of kidnapping and choking his slave pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and walked away with no jail time.
Richard B. Wise, 43, whose first trial ended in a mistrial after a juror turned up drunk, pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor domestic abuse and received a suspended sentence after prosecutors dismissed felony kidnapping and domestic abuse charges when they couldn't find his accuser for a second trial.
Prosecutors alleged Wise beat his girlfriend, Nanette “Gina” Larsen, Feb. 17, 2010, because she wanted to leave him after catching him having sex with another woman in the parking lot of an Oklahoma City nightclub.
Wise, an Oklahoma City sex fetish enthusiast who calls himself “Lord Wraith,” denied he attacked Larsen, who signed a contract to be his slave. He practices BDSM, short for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission and sadomasochism.
