Tone is all in a social fable, and first-time writer-director Derrick Borte shows an impressive command of mood and pace. He doesn't push your face into the message of conspicuous consumerism; he lets the characters and actors breathe, allows viewers to detect the toxic undertaste in their own good time. In its amiable, ambling way, The Joneses is a zeitgeist film: it says as much as a Michael Moore screed about the American way of debt. It's also a feature-long joke about Hollywood's mania for product placement...

Police are concerned that many women choose to withstand the abuse rather than report it, especially as molesters' tactics have become more organized and harder to detect. If this trend continues, "it could degrade the environment in which women can securely ride trains," says the police spokeswoman, who asked not to be identified...
Another factor, says Lu-Yao, is the widespread use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screen beginning in the 1990s. The controversial screen measures PSA levels in the blood to determine whether prostate cancer may be present.

In an essay on the Taliban for Foreign Affairs magazine, Afghanistan expert Michael Semple and MIT political scientist Fotini Christia write: "Changing sides, realigning, flipping - whatever you want to call...
...based on the same network of media and on-the-ground reporting that global health officials use to detect and track emerging diseases like H1N1 and 2003's SARS. Indeed, the first details of the strange respiratory disease, which surfaced in southern China six years ago, weren't published in a medical journal, nor were they issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). Rather, the earliest hints came in the media, in stories published in Chinese newspapers about people in Guangzhou and Shenzhen being struck down by a mysterious illness. Because Chinese officials forbade official reporting of the new disease...
