Julian Assange on Wikileaks, Bradley Manning and the Emerging Surveillance State
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, may testify today at a pretrial proceeding for the first time since he was arrested in May 2010. Manning could face life in prison if convicted of the most serious of 22 counts against him. His trial is expected to begin in February.
Meanwhile, the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, remains holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he sought refuge nearly six months ago to avoid being extradited to Sweden to be questioned over sexual assault claims. Earlier this week, Assange vowed WikiLeaks would persevere despite attacks against it. On Tuesday, the European Commission announced that the credit card company Visa did not break the European Union's antitrust rules by blocking donations to WikiLeaks. Shortly after the ruling, Assange addressed reporters in Brussels via video stream from inside the Ecuadorean embassy.
JULIAN ASSANGE: The strength of popular and private support means that we continue. There is no danger that WikiLeaks will cease to exist as an organization. Rather, its natural and rightful growth has been compromised, and that is wrong and must change. It would set a very bad precedent—it was not only wrong for WikiLeaks; it sets an extremely bad precedent for all other European organizations and all media organizations worldwide that monopolies can simply exercise financial death penalties over organizations and companies as a result of political controversy.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Julian Assange speaking on Tuesday. He now joins us in a rare interview from inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London. He has been granted political asylum in Ecuador but can't leave the embassy because the British government promises to arrest him if he steps foot on British soil. He has just co-authored a new book called Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet. The book examines how the internet can be used as both an instrument of freedom and oppression.
We want to welcome you, Julian Assange, back to Democracy Now! and first get your reaction to the European Commission's decision around the issue of Visa, saying it wasn't breaking antitrust laws when it blocked donations to you. The significance of the credit card company's blockade of donations to WikiLeaks, what it's meant for your website?
JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, it's good to be with you, Amy and Juan. The decision is disgraceful, but it is only a preliminary decision. We have another submission that the commission has asked for, so hopefully they will turn around before the end of the year or the beginning of next year. Commission had been investigating our complaint for 16 months. The normal turnaround time is four months. The European Parliament last week voted, through an Article 32 section, on how banks should be reformed and credit card companies should be reformed in order to stop arbitrary, extrajudicial financial blockades such as the one that is being applied to WikiLeaks. This year, we—the Council of Europe, all 47 foreign ministers last year passed a resolution saying that these sorts of arbitrary financial blockades on WikiLeaks should not continue, so that it's interesting to see the playoff in the political wills in Europe between, on the one hand, the Council of Europe and the Parliament and, on the other hand, the commission. But it's been known for a long time that the commission is closer to big business, and it is often successfully lobbied. Hopefully the commission will do the right thing and turn around in this case.

Take your kid on a ride with push and pull toys
If your kids are craving mobility but can't yet walk that well on their own, push and pull toys or wagons are a great idea. They allow your kids to scoot themselves along until they get too tired, after which you can pull or push your little one to your destination. This gives your baby practice and helps them build important muscles for the future.
Whether you're going to the park, the beach or just down the block, wagons are ideal for transporting multiple kids or one kid plus gear. Unlike toy powered vehicles, wagons allow you to carry extra gear and decide where you want your baby to go. Kids will love the fun of riding on a cart and you'll love not having to carry them in your arms. For summertime fun in the sun, pick up a canopy top for your wagon so your little ones can stay shaded during peak hours while they're coming home from the park. Sears has wagon toys which are fun for tots and which suit the needs of adults.
Kids love toy cars and other baby ride on toys, because they let them pretend they're driving just like their parents. While they drive their cars around the basement or on the driveway, they can imagine that they're running to the bank or picking up groceries for Mom and Dad. Imaginative fun really comes into play here; when kids have the props they need, they can transport themselves to another world or just down the block.
Kids may love their wagons and ride on cars, but for the little kid who really craves speed, only a tricycle will do.Pedal vehicles like tricycles make it easier for kids to get around. Unlike most ride on toy bundles, tricycles are manually powered, which improves your child's muscle development and sense of balance. Sears has tricycles with features like a push and pull handle, which comes in handy when kids get tired halfway through a trip to the park and want to be pulled the rest of the way. Instead of lugging around both a stroller and a tricycle, just get a trike with a handle for moments when your little one is too exhausted to keep pedaling.
Transporting your child can be easy for you and fun for your kids with wagons and push and pull toys. Sears offers a variety of options to suit children of different ages and parents who love to spend time outdoors. Find the perfect wagon or toy ride on car to transport your kids and their supplies anywhere they want to go.

My Two Cents On The OSR
Forget your idea of what TARGA is or isn't, forget the idea of a Old School Pope, and forget anyone who tells you are or aren't Old School. It's about supporting and enjoying (did we forget the enjoying part?) classical games and their near cousins. There is no monolithic entity deciding what is and isn't old school. If you want to get involved, want to see what's quality, submit an idea for an article or an article to Fight On! Post your crazy homebrew rules. Make charts. Slap a bunch of 2e stuff together with your Rules Cyclopedia. Gut the crap out of 3.5 and return to something simpler. Play Hackmaster, Castles & Crusades, or Microlite74. Dig out your old Red Box copy of D&D, or the Little Black Books of Traveller. Put an idea together for an (Semi-)Organized Play program with you and a few "penpal" groups out there. Make modules for AD&D 1e, or run those put out by other. Make a hex map and post it online. Run games, run games, run games.
Bottom line, that any sort of Old School Renaissance is what you make of it. It shouldn't be a bunch of people bragging about how they're Old Schoolier Than Thou because they played Kriegspiel with Kaiser Wilhelm himself. It can be about reminiscing, it can be about analyzing, and it can be about creation and play. Again, there is no monolith. There are dozens of little communities that interact on occasion. If something catches your eye and it turns out a community is helpful or inspiring to you (as Fight On! was for me), then by all means, participate. If not, don't. There isn't an all-or-nothing movement here you have to swallow whole.
Guys (and gals), the opportunities are there. Opportunities to have your classic games supported, opportunities to support them yourself, opportunities to run games for people starving for classic D&D, Traveller, Tunnels & Trolls, or whatever. Opportunities to have your work published in magazines like Fight On! and Knockspell. Opportunities to have something you made bring enjoyment to someone else's gaming table. And yeah, there are jerks out there—is there any single game or genre or fan following in this hobby that doesn't? Snark is snark, whether it's someone defending Exalted at RPGnet, or some dude whose claim to fame is an article in Dragon #24. You're going to have that. Being old-school doesn't make you infallible, and it doesn't make you a nice person. Just like anything else in life, if you think it's worth it, ignore the creeps and focus on the fun.
And if at any point it becomes not fun or not fulfilling for you, let it go. Life's too short to get worked up over a game too much, right? I understand people like to argue, but if I can get all John Lennon here for a minute, imagine if we spent the time we do arguing on making gaming material instead? I don't know about you, but I know I'm guilty on that last count. Little less talk, lot more action.
Use what works, trash what doesn't. I don't care about making points, I don't care about proving anything, and I don't care any of the other peripheral crap that impedes the DIY ethic or people writing new material for me to play with. No more discussion on it--let's get to creating stuff.

Sad that we have to spend time saying this instead of gaming or contributing ideas to gaming. Well said, on the spot, and a completely necessary post considering recent shitestorms, but the more we stick to regularly scheduled blogging the better.

I am a bit confused. The OSR is an effort to promote other people's creative works (from the past) ? Your statement, "No more discussion on it--let's get to creating stuff" seems to be in contradiction. The OSR, by nature, is only about discussions and has nothing to do with creating stuff, other than arguments.
- March 31, 2010 at 9:52 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Ernest: Fight On, Knockspell, Swords & Wizardry Quick Start, Advanced Edition Companion, One-Page Dungeon Contest, Kellri's supplements, Castle of the Mad ArchMage, Microlite74, Death Frost Doom, and so much more.
That's what people interested in classical and neoclassical gaming can create.
If you're interested in creating and playing stuff, there's opportunities. That's what I'm focused on. If you aren't, look somewhere else for an argument--there's plenty of place to accomodate you.
Thanks for the comments!

The only thing I hated about playing Kriegspiel with Kaiser Willie (as I called him) was with his gimpy arm he had to have someone else move his units for him, so it really slowed down gameplay.

I also heard he and Bismarck were total power gamers. Little known fact: The Franco-Prussian War started with the words "But That's What My Character Would Do!" France replied that Prussia should "see page XX for a ruling", and it was on.

Seriously sir. You're comparing your list to Dragon Magazine Dungeons and Dragons, and Keep on the Borderlands or the Temple of Elemental Evil or Tegel Manor for creativity ? Your list contains some fine products, but creatively are paler simulacrums. Any pastiche invites controversy for the sake of financial gain not invention.
The OSR seems to be built on a foundation that guarantees disagreement at the expense of creativity.

I'm pretty new to the whole idea of OSR and the community surrounding it but what I took from all the blogs I've read so far it doesn't seem to matter what system you're playing. It's more about play style and an approach to playing rpgs. I'm going to be starting to DM in some more modern systems heavily house ruled but I can take all the advice from the OSR DM's I think and craft a game for my players that oozes 'old school'.

You know, I play and write for exactly zero OSR style games. You know what else? I still love reading about them. OSR for me is a place to mine ideas and support creativity...no, scratch that. GAMING is about fostering creativity and supporting each other in those endeavours, and OSR completely fits into that. So I really appreciate a post like this, that asks us to ditch controversy and arguments about who's old schoolier, and wants us to focus on the parts of gaming that make it, you know, fun.
Because why the hell would we do any of this if it wasn't fun? It sure as sin doesn't pay the bills for most of us.

Forgive my naivety I can not count myself a giant or frequent the Blog Sphere, however I play Rolemaster SS and FRP, Palladium pretty much everything, and I remember playing the entire D&D boxed set right up to Immortals. Do I qualify for Old timer Gamers thing? If so……get those young games off my Blog sphere……. Crotchety… grumble.. old, I did it better, my generation rules….. We invented it!!! It can not be improved.

I agree with Stuart ... its about enjoying GAMES ... can't agree more. Whatever version, whatever brand ... if your doing face to face tabletop games I say AWESOME! I agree with the sentiment of ending the pointless version war debates. I think that we all are far better served on focusing on what we like and love about OSR games rather than endlessly bashing other non-OSR systems, etc. I really enjoy many OSR games but I also like several non-OSR RPG systems as well. I know there are some ultra pure OSR folks out there who seem to only have that as a gaming interest ... and to them I say if that is what you love Bravo. For me however I have a plethora of gaming interests and not just with OSR RPGs (or even just RPGs). So seeing some people out there who have such a puritanical, sectarian/denominational attitude has made me sad. Anyway thanks for a positive post ... I agree that the focus should be on building not on tearing down :)

Truth be told I dont understand the argument. I still play those games and enjoy them. I have also played, Cyperpunk, Top Secret, Toons, Paranoid, Warhammer FRP,each was different each had its own flavor. I haven't played a "Modern" game but from what I read from younger posters they often compain about character creation time. Perhaps you grow into the hobby but background and character creation make the game for me.

I am passionate about teas that are full-bodied, rich, & smooth. I joined Steepster to explore Multiple Infusion Teas (MITs) such as Pu-erh.
Currently, my focus is on un-flavored orthodox black & pu-erh teas. Cost-effective organic teas or teas that meet the EU Food Safety Commission Pesticide Maximum Residue Limit EUROFINS are also of interest.
I especially enjoy teas with a natural rich chocolate flavor profile as opposed to natural bittersweet cocoa.
Complete steeping instructions on the bag are greatly appreciated:
tsp. (g) / oz. / temp. / rinse? / min. for both Western & Gongfu brewing.
Incomplete, non-specific, or cutesy instructions such as: "Just add water and enjoy." significantly reduces the possibility that I will purchase that particular tea.
Having to discover the optimum brewing parameters through "trial & error" is too time-inefficient, wastes valuable tea and impairs the progress and joy of tea exploration.
The best tea suppliers evaluate each crop / batch of tea each year to determine the optimum brewing parameters. This insures the best possible first impression of their tea, greatly increases customer satisfaction, and thus increases word-of-mouth advertising – the best form of advertising that money can't buy. You never have a 2nd chance to make an Outstanding First Impression.
My wife is an Earl Grey Fan. We enjoyed Twinings for many years – mostly Earl Grey, also English/Irish Breakfast, & Prince of Wales. Several years ago, TEG no longer tasted as good.
Rishi EG & China Breakfast then became our regular teas. However, after winning Tea Expo awards, the prices kept rising.
Our most recent orders were from TeaVivre, Verdant, Zen Tea Life, & Mandala Tea. Kudos to Angel Chen, David Duckler, Kenneth Son, Garret Sorensen who have been extremely helpful.
High quality water is essential for excellent tasting tea.
Our 450' well provides hard water. For details see: http://steepster.com/looseTman/posts/176233#comments.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens when you try to sleep on the involved side.
Rotator cuff injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports. Examples include painters, carpenters, and people who play baseball or tennis. The risk of rotator cuff injury also increases with age.
Many people recover from a rotator cuff injury with physical therapy exercises that improve flexibility and strength of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. Severe rotator cuff injuries, involving complete tears of the muscle or tendon, may require surgical repair.
The pain associated with a rotator cuff injury may:
Seek medical attention if your shoulder pain is severe or if it's remained unchanged for more than a few days.
Causes of rotator cuff injuries include:
The following factors may increase your risk of having a rotator cuff injury:
Although resting your shoulder is necessary for your recovery, keeping your shoulder immobilized can cause the connective tissue enclosing the joint to become thickened and tight (frozen shoulder).
You'll probably start by seeing your family doctor. If your injury is severe, you might be referred to an orthopedic surgeon.
Before the appointment, you might want to write a list that answers the following questions:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
During the physical exam, your doctor will press on different parts of your shoulder and move your arm into different positions. He or she will also test the strength of the muscles around the shoulder and in the arms.
In some cases, he or she may recommend imaging tests, such as:
Conservative treatments — such as rest, ice and physical therapy — often are all that's needed to recover from a rotator cuff injury. If your injury is severe and involves a complete tear of the muscle or tendon, you might need surgical repair.
If conservative treatments haven't reduced your pain, your doctor might recommend a steroid injection into your shoulder joint, especially if the pain is interfering with your sleep, daily activities or exercise. While such shots are often helpful, they should be used judiciously as they can contribute to weakening of the tendon.
Physical therapy exercises can help restore flexibility and strength to your shoulder after a rotator cuff injury.
Surgical options may include:
A minor injury often heals on its own, with proper care. If you think you've injured your rotator cuff, try these steps:
If you are at risk of rotator cuff injuries or if you've had a rotator cuff injury in the past, daily shoulder stretches and exercises can help prevent future injury.
Most people exercise the front muscles of the chest, shoulder and upper arm, but it is equally important to strengthen the muscles in the back of the shoulder and around the shoulder blade to optimize shoulder muscle balance. Your doctor or a physical therapist can help you plan an exercise routine.

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept previews redesign, hybrid returning
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Jan 10th, 2012 at 9:45AM
In true Honda fashion, we're once again presented with a "concept" car that's only a set of wheels and a de-Bedazzling away from being production-ready. What you're looking at here is the concept that previews the next-generation Accord that will be dropping later this year, ready to compete with a full slate of redesigned mid-size sedans. Honda has once again taken a conservative approach to design, and while it's certainly handsome (except for those gaudy air intakes that flank both sides of the front fascia), we can't help but think that it already looks one or two generations old....
