Prof. Amitai Etzioni, honoured here as one of our Circle of 10 (Humanity category), is back up and blogging after a series of technical difficulties left him down for 2 weeks. He's the founder of the "communitarian" movement, a very interesting faction of the center-left that believes in responsibilities as well as rights, communities and civil society as well as government power.
Stephen "Vodkapundit" Green has been away far longer. Here's why, plus some thoughts on Iran now that he's back. RWN blogger John Hawkins almost went away for a lot longer than that - get well soon, John!
Meanwhile, Geitner Simmons' "Regions of Mind" and the "Lone Dissenter" have moved to new locations and deserve a visit. Finally, IMAO - who is either a crazed right wing humourist or a leftist with the best sense of irony ever - is having a contest for his blog's new tagline.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
