"Third Palestinian Intifada" Page Cut from Facebook

A high-profile Israel appeal called for the "Third Palestinian Intifada" page to be removed from facebook. When it was taken down it had 350,000 fans. Facebook said the page originally started as a peaceful protest, but as the page grew more popular the comments deteriorated to calls for violence. Facebook's content regulations state that it prohibits the posting of material that promotes violence directed at a particular group, including those based on religion or nationality. As "Facebook Revolutions" helps to bring down regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, the social netoworking site has become a more powerful politcial tool. This leaves Facebook with a greater responsibility. The content on the site will not just endanger people, but the site itself. The growing involvement in politics has people crying out for government regulation. If Mark Zuckerberg would like to remain in sole control of his site, he should watch out for the pages popping up on Facebook. -Associated Press

This is a fantastic album. The band from the U.K. penetrated the U.S. with their single Little Luion Man and now have stops scheduled on the west coast and will also be stopping in on the Beale Street Music Festival this summer. This is a group of talented musicians. They have a wide mix of uptempo and ballad style songs. One of the things you will notice in this Irish rock feel is the driving force of the banjo. Not typically considered a rock instrument, the banjo adds an extra texture into their music. With their originality and their musical talents they pulled a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

7. Man inside

Shirock's debut album, "Everything Burns" realesed on March 22, 20011. This pop/rock band from nashville has started off fairly well. After listening to this entire album you can respect them as musicians. They lean a little bit to the pop side but have written some decent tracks. There is not much unique about the tracks. It seems like good background music, not something you belt at the top of your lungs. What they do have are some well constructed songs. They don't always stick to the same four chords and they have a good mix of ballads and up tempo songs. This young band has a long way to go but i see them goping no where but up. I would give this alubum 3 out of 5 stars.
