"IF THE aim was to provoke a reasoned debate about self-censorship, religious intolerance and the freedom of speech, the editors of Jyllands-Posten failed miserably. Last September Denmark's biggest-selling daily broadsheet noted that a local author could not find artists to illustrate his book about Muhammad. So the paper published a series of cartoons depicting the prophet in various guises, along with an article arguing that self-censorship - rules large parts of the western world"

Groundbreaking project turns prisoners into volunteers / 24dash.com, 1 Feb 2006
http://www.24dash.com/content/news/viewNews.php?navID=7&newsID=2771
"Under an innovative new scheme prisoners can learn new skills and provide for their families by volunteering to restore old bicycles so they can then be delivered to poor communities in the developing world. In exchange for their efforts, every minute of the time they volunteer is held with Time Bank and their families on the outside can then 'cash in' the time to get help from volunteers with jobs ranging from decorating to shopping. The initiative, which has been funded by a Sure Start Strengthening Families grant, has proved so successful that chiefs at Gloucester Prison and the Gloucester Time Bank are hoping it will be adopted across the country."

http://www.24dash.com/content/news/viewNews.php?navID=7&newsID=2762
"Smoking cannabis is strongly associated with delinquent and aggressive behaviour in young teenagers, a major study has found. Researchers in the Netherlands revealed the link after surveying more than 5,500 adolescents aged 12 to 16.
The results showed that 'externalising' problem behaviour, such as criminality and aggression, increased with higher use of cannabis."

Hjörtur Gudmundsson (with Filip van Laenen and Paul Belien)"Carsten Juste, the editor of Jyllands-Posten, has apologized on behalf of his newspaper for offending Muslims by publishing twelve Muhammad cartoons last September (see them here, halfway the page). Previously (as in his open letter to the Saudis) Mr Juste had only “regretted” it, without using the word “apology.”
