A spate of attacks points to deep-rooted social troubles


ON SEPTEMBER 13th a man threw six children from a balcony of their school in a small town in central China. A nine-year-old girl was killed and two of the others were badly hurt. Local media tersely reported the news, describing the attacker as mentally ill. America is often thought to have exceptional problems of school atrocities but numerous similar reports in recent years of random killings by intruders in schools suggest there is widespread malaise in China, too.

State-controlled newspapers do not highlight such incidents and offer little explanation of why they occur so often. This latest attack, in the town of Hongqiao in Hunan province, was at least the fifth of its kind reported around the country since the middle of June. The others involved lone adults armed with knives or, in once case, a wrench. These cases have left four children dead and around 30 injured.

As the Communist Party prepares for a five-yearly congress next month, it is not surprising that such incidents are played down. President Hu Jintao hopes the congress will be a ringing endorsement of his accomplishments since he was appointed party chief just after the previous congress. One of his most publicised goals has been a “harmonious society”. This means reducing the social tensions created by rapid economic change.

Mr Hu has not been very successful. In rural areas the number of those living in poverty has continued to fall, but not in cities. The rich-poor gap has widened. Lone intruders in China's schools, experts say, are often people who feel powerless and alienated in a fast-evolving society where many others are faring much better. Li Meijin of the Chinese People's Public Security University says that few of the assailants would be classified as mentally ill. She says they are usually poor, ill-educated members of a “disadvantaged community”, such as migrants from rural areas, who direct their anger at people even weaker than themselves.

The leadership has been paying attention, if the press has not. In 2004 a spate of violent incidents at schools prompted President Hu to call for better security measures. At a press conference in April, an education official was asked about plans to give the public more access to sports facilities at state-run schools. He stressed the need for caution given the problem of people “disgruntled with society” entering classrooms to knife students. But guarding schools effectively is difficult and loads a big burden on those unable to attract the high-fee-paying middle classes.

Ms Li says better security measures have helped curb violence in crowded places such as railway stations and shopping centres. New rules were introduced last year to tighten control over access to explosives, which at the time were readily available and much in demand among those with grudges. But she says schools and hospitals remain easy targets.

Liu Neng of Peking University says the threat is unlikely to abate soon given the continuing pace of change in urban China. With decades-old communities being uprooted to make way for construction, residents are far less able to keep tabs on their neighbours. Those in distress can easily go unnoticed. Despite widespread cynicism about Mr Hu's “harmonious society” project, Mr Liu says it is at least helping to focus more government attention on the socially marginalised. The recent attacks suggest a lot more effort is needed.

Sara Jean Underwood (born 26 March 1984) is an American model and student. She first appeared as the cover model for the October 2005 issue of Playboy. She went on to become Playmate of the Month for July 2006 and 2007 Playmate of the Year in the June 2007 issue of the men's magazine. She is a senior at Oregon State University. She is a native of Portland, Oregon and graduated from Scappoose High School in 2002.
Underwood appeared on the cover of the October 2005 issue holding a football with nothing but bodypaint on her to simulate her wearing a jersey similar in design to the ones worn by the OSU Beavers football team with matching painted bikini briefs. She also appeared in the Girls of Pac 10 pictorial in the same issue.
She also appeared in episode #2 of E! reality television series, The Girls Next Door as a playmate hopeful having her test shoot taken at Playboy Studio West. Subsequently, she was given the title of Miss July 2006. She has since appeared in several more episodes, attending events at the Playboy Mansion and hanging out with the girls. On the May 6, 2007 episode in Season 3, it was revealed that she, along with fellow Playboy models Holly Madison and Alison Waite, worked for Hooters restaurants before, with Underwood working at the Beaverton, Oregon location.
On June 7, 2007 a group of Oregon State University students taking a Women's Studies Course created a poster celebrating Underwood's accomplishment. This poster was hung outside Bexel Hall for a few hours before being taken down by Oregon State University staff. The poster was mirrored after the "Achievement" posters that line Campus Way at the university. The poster read, "Sara Jean First OSU Beaver Playmate of the Year Playboy June '07 OSU CENTERFOLD People, Ideas, Innovation". It should be noted that the first Beavers playmate of the year was actually Jodi Ann Paterson, in 2000.
Underwood appeared as a pirate wench in Epic Movie, along with Playmates Qiana Chase, Irina Voronina and Jillian Grace.

Sara Jean Underwood -Playmate of the Year 2007

LOS ANGELES - Being named Playboy magazine's 2007 Playmate of the Year made Sara Jean Underwood feel sick.

"I thought I was going to puke," she told The Associated Press. "I thought I was going to faint. I thought I was going to cry. It was every emotion you can imagine one would feel when given such an honor.

"The petite 23-year-old blonde beat out 11 other beauties to become the magazine's 48th Playmate of the Year.

Her title and the start of her yearlong reign were celebrated Thursday with a backyard luncheon under a tent at Hugh Hefner's famous Playboy Mansion, with the yard filled with current and former playmates, more than 50 dating back to the 1950s.

Hefner called the event "one of my favorite days."

As founder and editor of the magazine, he helps select the annual honoree with advice from his promotions and photo staffs and oodles of input from readers. And what they're looking for, he said, has been "essentially the same" since the first Playmate of the Year was crowned in 1960: "Women are a little healthier, a little slimmer, but it's always been, and was from the very beginning, the girl next door.

"Underwood looked all that and more (and in the pink of health) Thursday, in a low-cut, formfitting bright yellow dress.

Playboy photographers first met her as a college student when they visited Oregon State University looking for candidates for the "Girls of the Pac 10" pictorial. She ended up on the cover of the October 2005 issue. She went on to pose for the centerfold of the July 2006 issue.

Underwood said she never modeled before appearing in Playboy.

"I didn't think I was pretty enough," she said. "I'm 5'3", short, freckle-faced. I'm from Oregon. It wasn't a thought in my mind that I could do something like that."

Hefner described her as an "all-American beauty," but that's not all that's required to be Playmate of the Year.

"It has to do with personality," he said, adding that the honoree represents the magazine and its advertisers at personal appearances all over the country.

After her coronation luncheon, Underwood heads to Louisville, Ky., where she will host Playboy's Kentucky Derby party.

Underwood said her life has changed "100 percent."

"It's incredible to get to experience a different life," she said. "I was in a very small bubble where I came from."
