Bourne to star in Aussie police series
SYDNEY — Southern Star has inked to distribute Seven Network's new police skein "City Homicide."
Skein, produced by John Hugginson and John Banas, focuses on cases as seen through the eyes of four young detectives and stars Shane Bourne, last seen Down Under as the host of successful export "Thank God You're Here." Janeen Faithfull, commercial director of network programming and production for the Seven Network, said the web had high hopes for the drama both in Oz and overseas. Southern Star will bow "City Homicide" at Mipcom later this year, and skein will screen on Seven in the second half of the year.Want Entertainment News First?

We've been working hard here at WS on Timothy P. Green's upcoming CD; so we've only recently started construction on the Worldsongs Media website. Trust us, there will soon be an attractive and robust site here; but meanwhile:
Timothy P. Green is coming...!
(And don't let the photo fool you...it's not Country & Western!) Timothy has been hard at work with Worldsongs producer and CEO Bradford Rogers on his debut CD—and it's a'gonna be a good one...! You might hear hints of anything from the B-52s to David Byrne to Peter Gabriel to some Tibetan monks who got drunk and took over a recording studio. Intrigued? Go ahead and get on Timothy's mailing list AND get a free download of his underground single "Piedmont Park" at TimothyPGreen.NET.
Bradford is still here...!
If you came to this site to check on the latest doings of Worldsongs producer, CEO, and recording/performing artist Bradford Rogers, never fear! You can find out all the latest at www.BradfordRogers.com.
Also, just like Timothy P. Green, you can get on Bradford's mailing list AND get a free download of his single "The Opener" just by visiting www.justbradford.com. Check it out!
Atlanta native Bradford Rogers is a producer, engineer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He is a Chapter Governor of the Recording Academy and has performed with such multiplatinum artists as Michael McDonald, James Brown, Michael Bolton, Bobby Valentino, En Vogue's Dawn Robinson, Sleepy Brown and Cee Lo Green.
Bradford is the founder and owner of independent label Worldsongs Media, whose mission is to nurture talented undiscovered artists in a variety of genres, focusing on jazz, worldbeat, and ethnic-influenced music.

I'd like to let my bunny out more often but he started this habit of peeing on a certain part of my carpet. If I cover it with a big piece of cardboard he pees and poops in the bathroom which is fine. He doesn't go anywhere else, and he has a litterbox in his cage which he never misses. How can I get him to stop peeing on the carpet in that spot so I don't have to use cardboard on my floor? Looks tacky for guests.
Try rubbing the area with a bar of Ivory soap. It doesn't work for all rabbits, but when it does work, it works very well. I don't know why, but some rabbits really hate the smell of Ivory soap.
I also hear vinger works well to get rid of the urine smell that the rabbit could smell. With my buns, if I left a box there for a little while, it would break the habit and then I could remove the box. You might need to leave the box there for a little while and hopefully it will break the habit and he will forget about it once you remove the box. Just make sure the smell is gone or he may start again.

True story: I had to teach myself college calculus. The instructor asked the lecture hall of students who all had a graphic calculator. Everyone except me and two other people raised their hands. The instructor said "good" because she was going to teach calculus by walking through how to program the functions into a graphic calculator. Anyone else was out of luck.
At the time I had no extra cash whatsoever. Trust me, there was no room in my budget for an expensive calculator I would use for just one class. I knew I had to go it alone.
I ended up making an A in that class. It actually wasn't that difficult. My secret was to walk through each example problem in the book step by step and memorize how the book did it. Then during the test I'd just recreate each one of my problems just like the examples but swapping out the numbers.
The point of that story is not to brag about how I went around the norm, but to encourage you to find ways around your struggles to succeed. Many people have difficulty engaging on social media due to a fear of not knowing what to say. It's a relatively new territory for many looking to market their business online. If you struggle on how to engage, do like I did in my calculus class and find your success by following a few good examples.
To help out, here are two companies that have great presences on social media:
Pacific Natural Foods This company engages with their fans really well. Notice the balance of what they post. They stay within their niche while avoiding being over promotional. Notice the types of questions they ask their fans: open-ended and response provoking. They are doing it right.
New Belgium Brewery You don't have to drink beer to appreciate how well they network with their fans and organize events. This company has a very loyal fan base and utilizes social media to organize bike races and other promotional events all over the country. Consider how you could use social media to organize events around your business.
Please remember, the idea here is not to steal the ideas of these companies, but to use them as positive examples of companies who really know how to utilize social media. Model yourself after them and you'll have a great path forward to success.

I did manage to build KDE4 on a 5GB partition, while having the sources (build) directory hosted on a separate partition. I typically think about 12GB for the root partition with no separate partitions for home or usr leaves enough space for me. It depends on how much space will be needed for applications and files that will accumulate. For /boot, I just use a /boot directory instead of a separate partition (which is my choice) and it works fine. I like to create a logical partition in which 15 partitions may exist.

Fresh from his playoff drama at The Masters last weekend, Pro V1x loyalist Louis Oosthuizen travelled to Malaysia for the Maybank Malaysia Open at the Kuala Lumpur G&CC and showed that he is focused on each and every round he plays - posting a 6-under 66 to be just two shots off the lead after the first round.
Also in the mix after round one are Titleist ambassadors Rafa Cabrera Bello, Romain Wattel and Prom Meesawat at 5-under, 4-under and 4-under respectively. As you'll see in the slideshow, Romain has overcome his jet lag from earlier in the week!!
Titleist golf ball loyalists Antonio Lascuna (Philippines), Ricardo Gonzalez (Argentina) and Gaurav Ghei (India) will be hoping for continued good form for the remaining three days after posting first round 67, 68 and 68 respectively.
To view this week's slideshow, just click on the image below:
Welcome to the Kuala Lumpur G&CC - venue of the Maybank Malaysian Open
Posted: April 9, 2012
Sunday evening at Augusta National, with the world watching and his Titleist Pro V1x surrounded by pine straw, leaves, patrons and trees to the right of the 10th fairway, Bubba Watson settled in to hit the shot of his life.
"Before I even got to my ball, I was already looking at the gap (in the trees)…," he said. "I saw how everybody was standing… And they gave me a perfect line for the draw."
He couldn't see the flag, but that didn't matter. As long as he made the proper swing, Watson knew exactly how his Pro V1x golf ball would perform.
And the execution was perfect: His Pro V1x launched through that gap, making a hard right curve around the trees. It hooked about 40 yards in all, landing softly on the putting surface, inside 15 feet from the hole.
Fans everywhere reacted as if a magician had just pulled Amen Corner out of his hat.
Two putts later, Watson was a major and Masters champion, officially winning with a par on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with former Open champ and fellow Pro V1x loyalist Louis Oosthuizen.
Watson closed with a 4-under 68, dropping in his Pro V1x for consecutive birdies on Nos. 13-16 to tie Oosthuizen at 10-under 278. Oosthuizen posted a final-round 69, which included the Masters' first double-eagle on the par-5 second hole, his Pro V1x #4 finding the hole from 260 yards.
"It feels – it's just – I've never had a dream go this far… so I can't really say it's a dream come true," Watson said of his fourth-career PGA Tour victory.
"I don't even know what happened on the back nine," he said, sitting in the Masters media center. "I know I made bogey on 12 and then I birdied four holes in a row. Nervous on every shot, every putt. Went into a playoff. I got in these trees and hit a crazy shot that I saw in my head and somehow I'm here talking to you with a green jacket on."
Watson's victory highlighted a three-win week for Titleist Pro V1x players around the world, including wins by Andres Gonzales (Nationwide Tour) and Scott Hend (Asian Tour).
Titleist golf ball players have combined for 41 wins to date in 2012, more than six times the nearest competitor with six and more than all competitors combined.
Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x players have also won 11 out of the PGA Tour's first 16 events to start the season.
In total, 4,600 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in events across the worldwide professional tours, more than six times the nearest competitor with 707 and more than all other golf balls combined.
"You don't play the ball if you don't have confidence in it," Watson, who finished T-4 in Greens in Regulation (73.6 percent) for the week, has told Team Titleist.
"If it doesn't feel good to you then you're not going to perform well. For me it's been 20 years and it's still performing well."The soft feel, higher trajectory and spin characteristics of the Pro V1x give Watson the confidence necessary to work the ball and execute his highly-creative, now world-famous shots, allowing him to land the ball softer and stop it quicker on the PGA Tour's firm greens.
"If the ball doesn't feel right in your hands it's going to be harder to spin," he said, "it's just not going to feel good and it's going to be harder to hit one close."
Watson was one of 53 players at Augusta National that relied on Titleist golf balls for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 11 and more than all other golf balls combined. Titleist was also first in iron sets (26); sand, lob and approach wedges (91); and putters (29).
Six out of the top 10 players on the final leader board were Titleist golf ball players, including including Lee Westwood (Pro V1x, T-3), Ian Poulter (Pro V1x, 7th), Padraig Harrington (Pro V1x, T-8) and Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott (Pro V1x, T-8).
Titleist is the #1 ball for more players and more champions across the worldwide professional tours. In fact, to date in 2012, Titleist golf ball players have recorded 41 victories around the world, compared to 6 for the nearest competitor. Since the introduction of the Pro V1 in 2000, the golf ball franchise has been the golf ball of choice for more than 1,700 champions worldwide.
Below is a listing of tournaments won by Titleist golf ball players on the major worldwide professional tours in 2012.

Question: What do Titleist Brand Ambassadors Webb Simpson, Kyle Stanley, Scott Stallings and Brendan Steele have in common – besides all of their last names beginning with the letter "S?"
Answer: They are all making their Masters debuts this week, each having won for the first time last year on the PGA Tour.
So, what's it like to find an invitation to the Masters in your mailbox?Team Titleist caught up with Webb and Scott recently to talk about their tickets down Magnolia Lane and what they've learned from their early practice rounds at Augusta National.See what they had to say in the above video.
This week marks the fifth anniversary of Titleist Brand Ambassador Zach Johnson's trip to Butler Cabin to accept the green jacket as 2007 Masters champion.
Trusting a Pro V1x golf ball and bag of Titleist equipment, Zach birdied three of his final six holes that Sunday at a gusty Augusta National for a closing 3-under 69 and two-shot victory over some of golf's biggest names.
Later that evening in the Masters media center, Zach delivered what would become one of the Masters' more memorable lines: "I'm Zach Johnson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. That's about it. I'm a normal guy."
Team Titleist recently caught up with the "normal guy" to talk about his extraordinary feat and the confidence he had in his golf ball and equipment coming down the stretch on golf's most pressure-packed day – especially on his second shot into No. 11, which players in a recent Sports Illustrated survey ranked as the "hardest shot' at Augusta National.
Check it out in the above video.

Comments On Jul 21, 2013:awesome dish magnetically will stay on your bike stand making it easy for small jobs to not loose bolts and screws
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 19, 2013:Great quality with a nice grippy rubber bottom (not in the description). Magnet works good to hold bolts to the bottom. However it is quite small and only holds about 10 or so bolts reasonably. After 10 or so bolts it really fills up and loses the magnetic qualities when bolts are stacked on each other.
Great item if you have small screws, but for bolts off a dirt bike I would recommend getting the larger versions of these magnetic parts bowls.

6 Easy No-Knead Breads
"Mix it and forget it" recipes for irresistible, wholesome homemade breads. Try all 6 easy no-knead breads, perfect for breakfast, snacking or even dessert.
Orange-Spiced Fruit Bread
Orange zest, aniseed and allspice, along with honey, lend this full-bodied fruit bread an intriguing flavor. The medley of three dried fruits gives it a chewy texture, eye-catching color and healthful fiber. For a festive look, the bread is baked in a tube pan.
Crunchy-Munchy Corn and Millet Bread
The outside of this rustic-looking bread is crunchy and the inside is moist and soft, with a smattering of small bits of corn grits and millet or sesame seeds. The loaf's mild corn flavor goes well with chowders, stews and Tex-Mex dishes.
Everyday Whole-Wheat Bread
This whole-wheat loaf is excellent for sandwiches, toast or eating plain. It has a light, springy texture and a mellow, slightly sweet grain taste from cracked wheat. The crust is crisp when the bread is first baked, but gradually softens as it stands.
Multigrain Molasses Bread
The flavor of this hearty, home-style multigrain bread is reminiscent of nice, "bran-y" bran muffins. Its great for toasting, making sandwiches or eating as is.
Seeded Multigrain Boule
Yes, this 3-pound, seeded, very attractive loaf seems to call for everything but the kitchen sink, but it's worth it! Not only is it high in fiber, but the blend of seeds and grains lends it a wonderfully nutty flavor, aroma and texture.
Parmesan-Herb Focaccia
Puffy, chewy-crisp and fragrant with fresh herbs, this Parmesan focaccia goes well with soups, stews and, of course, Italian-style fare. Be sure to use only fresh herbs and avoid the temptation to stir them into the dough (sprinkle them over it); many herbs, including the ones called for here, inhibit yeast growth when theyre combined in the dough.

PARIS: A Bed That Floats
Suspension of disbelief: At One by the Five, a single-suite boutique hotel in the Latin Quarter of Paris, the bed futuristically floats above the ground. (In fact, almost none of the avant-garde boudoir furnishings touch the floor.)
Snooze factor: Up all night. If this sexy, ultramodern, high-tech hotel has its way, you won't get any rest at all. From the perfume-stocked dressing parlor and the mood-lit shower to an infrared Web cam that broadcasts the bed activity (ahem) on your own closed-circuit television channel... One by the Five has a one-track mind. Despite the sin-friendly amenities, the bed itself is designed to feel like a piece of heaven: suspended from the wall three feet above the floor, with nothing below or above but pale blue walls dotted with puffy clouds and tiny, starlike lights.
Who goes there: If George and Jane Jetson wanted to spice up their relationship with a racy romantic getaway, this is where they'd go.
Undercover info: Check in for One by the Five at its slightly more conventional parent hotel, The Five, directly across the street. Your morning-after breakfast, however, will be delivered to your door.

Do you wear underwear?
Just thought I would throw this out there...Let's take a survey. I could never find panties that felt good...always seams showing, etc. So I went to a thong and tried that for @ a year thinking I would get used to the wedgie, but never did. So @ a year ago I just quit and feel very liberated! I only wear them when I wear a skirt/dress. Meridith Veire has said for sometime she doesn't so I thought I would give it a try. Love it love it!
Put me in the as little as I can list.
I hate them.. hate the way they rub on my leg and the way they pull and the lines and the.. ok.. now that we established that I hate them.. No. Not even with a skirt, or in a house with a mouse.. Wait that is a different story. BTW, I spent the last 4 decades trying to keep my swimsuit and panties from getting in a wad.. Im NOT going to intentionally put a thong in their place. lol Good topic.
If by underwear, you mean panties, then no. I do however work in an office job and wear pantyhose every day. I don't wear panties because with pantyhose, I find wearing panties to be kind of redundant. Also there're no pantylines that way. And before the anti-pantyhose comments come flooding in, I'm 27 years old and feel naked without them. Besides, I feel more attractive wearing pantyhose with a skirt than if I were bare legged. Just my two cents...
I must agree 100% with lanner. I too have an office job and wear pantyhose every day and I too find it redundant wearing panties with the pantyhose. Who needs to deal with pantylines anyway. I also feel much more attractive wearing pantyhose than without....
I hatehatehate panties. I have only about one pair that behaves decently (not creeping around). But I am a big chicken about not wearing any! In a skirt, I'd feel too exposed (even though NO I WOULD NOT BE EXPOSING ANYTHING!). And with pants, especially jeans, I would think it would be a little uncomfortable? I haven't worn pantyhose for a while (I'm the one who asked the bare legs vs. pantyhose question) but I think I could probably handle no panties if I were wearing pantyhose. My daughter wears thongs and thinks they're comfortable, though.
I gather this question was posed for the ladies but I'm gonna' step out on a limb here and respond also. Yes, I DO wear underwear for basically the same reason most women wear bras. I simply feel more comfortable suported. Now my STYLE of underwear is solely cosmetic, which I suspect is the real motivation behind this topic.
You ladies are light years ahead us brutes in the way of freedom of choice in fashion but we are finally starting to close the gap. Men are becoming more fashion conscious and are demanding more choices - especially in foundation garments. Thongs for men have become increasingly available in recent years and I am a loyal subscriber, though not exclusively. However, the most I'll ever wear is a bikini. Briefs are too confining and boxers offer no support - to me, defeating the purpose.
I reckon if my anatomy were a little different......I mean, if I had nothing to support.........Oh Geeeeez! If I were a girl I think I might also be inclined to go comando on ocassion. I imagine that must be quite liberating - even daring - in a skirt. Any other time, I'd prolly be wearing a thong. As a man, I find them quite comfortable and I don't suppose I'd feel any differently as a woman. I also like the look - again, speaking as a man - and probably would as a woman as well.
For me, to venture out sans nickers is more than a question of cosmetics. At least, though, I have a little lattitude in what I don underneath. Women have a much more viable option to go without. By all means, ladies, exercise your choice!
Alas, you truly are the fairer sex and will always hold the upper hand in beauty and fashion - which, by the way, is the best part about being a guy.
Chessy, I say it's time to put the pantyhose back on! Then you can say goodbye to panties for good (although I admit when I'm not on the pill, I still wear them on certain days of the month :). But like I said in my bare legs vs. pantyhose post, find yourself a good brand and buy the right size, and you will notice a world of difference. They will feel very comfortable and because they are "panty"hose, you shouldn't feel exposed. They'll also make your legs look more attractive and might actually make you feel more attractive as well. As I mentioned in my other post, pantyhose make me feel quite a bit more attractive than when I'm bare legged. And also, not that your going for this (as I mentioned previously), but you may find that the guys at work "notice" you more when you are wearing pantyhose.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
Yes Chessy, start wearing pantyhose again! I cannot say it any better than lanner just did. If she and I lived in the same city we'de probably be best friends. It's not easy finding someone with the same fashion tastes these days. It seems women like us are in the minority but we know what we are talking about. Once you find yourself a good brand of pantyhose and get the right size you will find you have all kinds of choices in so far as colors, styles, and textures go. I guarantee your legs will look more attractive and you will feel great about yourself. Plus you will not have to deal with wearing panties anymore. It's your choice of course, so good luck!
I don't with pantyhose; but the hose is washed daily so it acts as underwear.
There is the question of hygiene and odor, which no one is addressing.
I wear mostly pants; a lot of my pants are wool or a blend of other fibers and I have most of them dry cleaned, the underwear is a barrier between body and fiber, I'd hate to wear pantyhose with pants hence underwear is the washable liner.
I also wear a lot of jeans or cotton pants, which I don't necessarily wash after every use so the underwear is a barrier also.
I'll call underwear a barrier for freshness, which is why I always have a lot of them in the wash,lol....
Please forgive me if I'm treading where I shouldn't. Just trying to help. As far as hygene, you may want to consider pressing a liner into your pant just as you would a panty. I don't recall where I got this information but it supposedly works expertly.
And I must agree with you all that hosiery does add a certain elegance to you appearance. It's a nice enhancement like blush or mascara.
Thank you Mitch, for addressing that issue! I like to wear my pants and jeans several times before washing and underwear and a liner help keep them fresh.
Ok, I think going commando is gross! Maybe if giving your date a thrill is the objective, ok, for a little while, but otherwise, hygeniene, people, please!
I have Britney flashing embedded in my brain....
I've never had a problem with the Lycra blend underwear. It is very comfortable and really hardly ever shows panty lines. What kinds of underwear are you people wearing that show lines, creep, etc? For the few times a panty line may show, I wear a thong...which takes some getting used to (I compare it to a seat belt, hard to get used to but once you do it's not that bad).
Regarding panty hose...Sorry, but I've been told by many guys throughout the years that they prefer my legs without hose (and I am not tan by any means). Nowadays, I would wear hose for ultra formal occasions, but generally, and/or unless there's a garter belt involved, I would think many men would be more attracted to bare legs in normal work attire. I really don't like the look or feel of hose even the sheer kind on my legs. Yuk! I'm so glad they aren't in fashion now. I don't think they enhance the look of legs, but rather take something away. You can't see as much of the tone or the highlighted part of the bone line in the calf as well because the hose evens everything out...leaving less definition. And, that definition is the part I think is really sexy on most woman. Obviously, I would guess at a certain age, hose maybe needed and that's fine, but heck, I really don't think that is until way later for most gals.
Really, though, if you haven't tried the lycra/spandex blended underwear, give them a try. They work wonderfully on getting rid of the panty lines and creeping experience.
Well, I guess I am a wash and wear girl. If I am wearing dressy slacks, I will wear panties. I also use a liner that is much like a panty liner only it adheres to the jeans/slacks. That works pretty good and has the same effect. Pantyhose makes me itch all over.
I'm a 31 yr old mom of 3 who works in an office (law firm) 4 days a week. I wear skirts most days and going commando is the norm on all but the most frigid of days or my period days. If I wear slacks I'll wear a g-string only because the material will irritate the lower regions. At home or out with hubby I never wear any. Its very comfortable and my husband loves the attention I get in the shorter skirts. I would be lying if I said I didn't like it too. Usually once or twice a year in the summer well go away for a day trip somewhere sightseeing or wine tasting (W/O the kids). On these trips I'll be in one of my shortest skirts picked out by hubby. It's a lot of fun for both of us and the get away does us a ton of good.
I think the pantyless thing is much more popular w/ women that most people think. I have two friends who pretty much do the same thing most days.
Greetings. An interesting topic - a guys point of view on the subject for what its worth.
Havent worn underwear on a regular basis for many years - and if I have to a thong or bikini brief is about my limit.With the amazing range of fabrics, colours and styles now available for men I am almost tempted to go back wearing underwear just for the choices now available.
Cheers. Kiwilad.
Yes, lightweight cotton.. or at the very least cotton crotch undies. I can't imagine going without & I'm in my 30's. I even wear them with opaques... When I use to do runway (years ago) we couldn't wear undies but I NEVER got use to that... ever... It was a horrible experience.
Uhmmmm do you ladies donate clothes to thrift or sell on eBay??? I don't know if I would if I went commando... Not a good thought.
NO! I wear bras ONLY! I NEVER WEAR PANTIES! If I wear pantyhose I cut-out the crotch. If i wear pants I MIGHT wear a liner, it depends on the material and the season of the year. Not wearing panties ANYTIME and ANYWHERE, is an extremely SENSUAL feeling. All you need is courage ladies, COURAGE.
No hardly ever wear panties, usually only pantyhose. I find that panties ride up and I do not like vpl
That panty area of the hose makes up for my panties
also even in the office I get more compliments and attention with pantyhose on, on windy days I feel more protected with just pantyhose, so I would say girls ditgh the panties, wear 'hose alone'

I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by the physician who served the small, one-doctor town of Englewood, Tennessee, where I grew up. He worked seven days a week, often late into the night; yet he always met each patient with a smile. He delivered the babies, cared for the children, the adults, and the elderly, made house calls and often tended his patients' bedsides as they passed. He was truly a family physician and a role model I aspired to one day emulate. After high school, I ventured away from my small hometown to live in Johnson City where I attended ETSU receiving my undergraduate degree in biology. |
I fell in love with the area, especially its picturesque landscapes and endless outdoor activities, and was fortunate to be able to stay in Johnson City for medical school as well. During my fourth year, I rotated at Bristol Family Medicine and immediately realized that I had found a new home. All of the people there welcomed me with such kindness, and I learned volumes of information from the knowledgeable attendings, residents, and staff. I am extremely excited to be joining them! I have an amazing daughter, Caroline, who will be starting kindergarten as I begin my residency. I also have two very spoiled cats, Jimmy and Butters. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, relaxing at the river or lake, hiking, cooking, and shopping. |

Sticky. Like, if I try to smack my lips together, they get stuck, and unless I pull my hair back, there will always be hair stuck to my lips sticky. Seems moisturizing though. Tastes good. Probably lasts a long time since it's so sticky. I'll wear it because I bought it and because the color is really pretty and because I've gotten used to it, but WHY IS IT SO STICKY?
Plus I don't like the packaging. There's a little ball on the end that I guess you can use to smear the product on your lips. It's not really smooth. I use my finger.

41) Tetris DS
Nintendo / Nintendo SPD Group 2 / 2.07 million sold
It may offer gameplay that will make Tetris purists baulk (don't get us started on the whole 'Infinite Spin' debate), but while the Game Boy version remains the fan favourite Tetris DS is the finest modern take with retro Nintendo graphics and a load of different game modes, including local multiplayer for up to ten players with only one cartridge.

42) Kirby Super Star Ultra
Nintendo / HAL Laboratory / 2.86 million sold
An updated DS port of the SNES game Kirby Super Star (Kirby's Fun Park in Europe), Super Star Ultra features six different platform 'games' (each smaller than full-price games), along with a bunch of other mini-games. Kirby may traditionally be quite easy but getting 100% completion on this takes an age.

43) Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
An immensely deep tactical RPG with a brilliant storyline, Devil Survivor is a worthy spin-off of the main Shin Megami Tensei series in which a trio of teenage students try to save Tokyo from a demon invasion by summoning good demons of their own. If you've got a 3DS we'd recommend getting the enhanced remake, Devil Survivor Overclocked.

44) Super Scribblenauts
Warner Bros Games / 5th Cell / 1.35 million sold
Its actual mission-based gameplay may be a bit hit or miss, but Super Scribblenauts' fun is in its various playgrounds, where players can just mess around by spawning anything they can think of (you simply write the word to create one of tens of thousands of objects) and seeing how they interact with other objects or creatures. If you're imaginative, this is great fun.

45) Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2: March Of The Minis
Nintendo / Nintendo Software Technology / 1.16 million sold
Nintendo's take on Lemmings is a quirky puzzler in which players guide tiny clockwork Marios to the end of each stage while ensuring their safety. Controlling them with the stylus is a cinch and the boss battles - in which players fire them out of a cannon at Donkey Kong - are a joy too.

46) Infinite Space
Sega / Platinum Games / 170,000 sold
One of the DS's most elusive hidden gems, Platinum Games' Infinite Space is a real-time RPG set in space, which allows you to customise your own spaceship with over 150 different models and more than 150 different crew members. It's very difficult to get into and is absolutely massive, but get over the daunting first few hours and this will plonk a big black hole next to your free time.

47) Pokemon Conquest
Nintendo / Tecmo Koei / 900,000 sold
This is an odd crossover between Pokémon and long-running Japanese turn-based strategy series Nobunaga's Ambition, in which Pokémon accompany the real-life warriors of 16th century Japan. Bizarre premise aside, Conquest manages to be both approachable to younger gamers and deep enough to challenge experts.

48) Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
Ubisoft / Capybara Games / 160,000 sold
Much like Puzzle Quest before it, Clash Of Heroes combines puzzle gameplay with combat but also throws in a grid to add tactical turn-based strategy elements to proceedings too. A curious blend of genres but one that works in perfect harmony.

49) Sonic Rush
Sega / Dimps / 3.04 million sold
Sonic's first DS adventure makes clever use of both screens by tossing Sonic between the two at various points in the level to make the action even harder to keep track of. The introduction of Blaze The Cat as a second playable character adds to the variety.

50) Aliens Infestation
Despite having the Aliens name behind it, Infestation was released months after the 3DS had already come out and as such was roundly ignored. It's a shame, because it's one of the finest games ever based on the Aliens films, with fantastic side-scrolling Metroidvania action courtesy of 2D experts WayForward.

free iso editor portablegf10 - January 14, 2010 - 2:15am
Anyone know of a freeware alternative to UltraISO or isobuster? ( categories: )
Burning and ReadingTo burn ISOs to disc, use InfraRecorder Portable: To get files out of an ISO file, use 7-Zip Portable (you can open an ISO like a ZIP file): Mounting an ISO so it shows up as a drive letter requires administrative rights, so it's not something you'd usually do portably. Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! thanks. how to edit and savethanks. ISOs onlyNRGs are a proprietary (read: non-standard) format and aren't supported by most CD/DVD burning apps. As such, InfraRecorder doesn't create them. The only real advantage of NRG over ISO is that you can put an audio CD into an NRG and NRG better handles some discs with copy protection (which is why some warez sites use it). Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! *.NRG?Have you found anything free/portable to open *.NRG files? there isnt anything. .nrgthere isnt anything. .nrg files are propriatary and will stay that way. there is NOTHING that will allow you to edit them. Make isoTo burn iso image is easy but I want to make iso image to burn later or save.How to make iso image? InfraRecorder PortableInfraRecorder Portable can do it: Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! AVS Disc CreatorProgram: AVS Disc Creator Website: http://www.avs4you.com/avs-disc-creator.aspx License: Freeware Description: Copy personal home audio in the original quality. Burn data in several sessions on to the same disc. Create your own disc cover with an integrated disc cover creator. Burn boot discs and create password protected file image formats (.daa, .uif). AVS Disc Creator supports CD-R/RW, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM, Double/Dual Layer DVD and Blu-Ray discs. It also edits ISO images. Note: I noticed some sites I looked at regard this as freeware, others as shareware. Can't really determine either way for sure from the applications website. Good luck PortableApps.com Advocate There aren't any free ISOThere aren't any free ISO editors for Windows at the moment. There many image creators and extractors, but not editors. I only know of a free image editor for Linux. There is also Windows version on that site, but it is not free: Extract and CreateI can't imagine editing ISOs being a normal, everyday occurrence. For when you occasionally need to do it, extracting it via 7-Zip Portable and then creating a new one with InfraRecorder Portable is an easy way to do it. And it's portable and free. Then again, I don't normally touch ISOs or CD/DVD discs. The only time I've used them in the last several years was to download ISOs of Win7 and Linux for OS installs in VirtualBox. I think I burned the Win7 ISO just to have a disc of it, but haven't used it. Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! this one is NOW free -this one is NOW free - support is no longer provided. http://www.winiso.com/products/winiso-free.html |

Grudge Match - TV SpotReported by Outsiders - 10:30 PM 2013.11.26
The upcoming boxing comedy "Grudge Match" about two legendary bruisers who agree to come out of retirement for one final bout together has two major draws in their corner: Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. However, it's comedian Kevin Hart who largely takes the center stage in the film's first 30-second TV spot. Here, Hart plays a hyperactive fight promoter who's trying to convince these two old-timers (De Niro and Stallone) that they can make some real money if they agree to participate in a reunion fight that he's cleverly calling "Grudgement Day!" Although, the first hurdle in his ambitious plan is to explain to them what "going viral" means. Ah! Old people. Award-winning movie legends Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone star as old boxing rivals who come out of retirement for one final match. De Niro and Stallone play Billy "The Kid" McDonnen and Henry "Razor" Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight. Each had scored a victory against the other during their heyday, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, Razor suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively delivering a knock-out punch to both their careers. Thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., seeing big dollar signs, makes them an offer they cant refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all. But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again. Grudge Match stars Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Kevin Hart, Kim Basinger, Jon Bernthal, Alan Arkin Release: December 25th, 2013

As with bathroom sinks, tub and shower drain pipes may become clogged with soap and hair. The drain stopping mechanisms can also require cleaning and adjustment.
Tub or shower not draining? First, make sure it's only the tub or shower. If your sink is plugged, too, it may be a coincidence or it may be that a common branch line is plugged. A sure sign of this is when water drains from the sink into the tub. This could require the help of a drain cleaning service, or a drum trap that services both the sink and tub needs cleaning.If the toilet also can't flush (or worse, water comes into the tub when you flush the toilet), then the common drain to all your bathroom fixtures is plugged. Call a drain cleaning service. If you suspect the problem is only with your tub or shower, then read on. We'll show you how to clear drain lines and clean and adjust two types of tub stopper mechanisms. Adjusting the mechanism can also help with the opposite problem: a tub that drains when you're trying to take a bath.As with bathroom sinks, tub and shower drain pipes may become clogged with soap and hair. The drain stopping mechanisms can also require cleaning and adjustment.From: The Complete Guide to Plumbing, 978-1-58923-378-2
Phillips ScrewdriverPlungerScrub brushWhite VinegarToothbrushNeedlenose pliersDishwashing brushHeatproof grease
Like bathroom sinks, tubs and showers face an ongoing onslaught from soap and hair. When paired, this pesky combination is a sure-fire source of clogs. The soap scum coagulates as it is washed down the drain and binds the hair together in a mass that grows larger with every shower or bath. To nip these clogs in the bud, simply pour boiling hot clean water down the drain from time to time to melt the soapy mass and wash the binder away.
On shower drains, feed the head of the auger in through the drain opening after removing the strainer. Crank the handle of the auger to extend the cable and the auger head down into the trap and, if the clog is farther downline, toward the branch drain. When clearing any drain, it is always better to retrieve the clog than to push it farther downline.
On combination tub/showers, it's generally easiest to insert the auger through the overflow opening after removing the coverplate and lifting out the drain linkage. Crank the handle of the auger to extend the cable and the auger head down into the trap and, if the clog is farther downline, toward the branch drain. When clearing any drain, it is always better to retrieve the clog than to push it farther downline.
A plunger-type tub drain has a simple grate over the drain opening and a behind-the-scenes plunger stopper. Remove the screws on the overflow coverplate with a slotted or Phillips screwdriver. Pull the coverplate, linkage, and plunger from the overflow opening.
Clean hair and soap off the plunger with a scrub brush. Mineral buildup is best tackled with white vinegar and a toothbrush or a small wire brush.
Adjust the plunger. If your tub isn't holding water with the plunger down, it's possible the plunger is hanging too high to fully block water from the tub shoe. Loosen the locknut with needlenose pliers, then screw the rod down about 1⁄8". Tighten the locknut down. If your tub drains poorly, the plunger may be set too low. Loosen the locknut and screw the rod in an 1⁄8" before retightening the locknut.
Raise the trip lever to the open position. Pull the stopper and rocker arm assembly from the drain. Clean off soap and hair with a dishwashing brush in a basin of hot water. Clean off mineral deposits with a toothbrush or small wire brush and white vinegar.
Remove the screws from the cover plate. Pull the trip lever and the linkage from the overflow opening. Clean off soap and hair with a brush in a basin of hot water. Remove mineral buildup with white vinegar and a wire brush. Lubricate moving parts of the linkage and rocker arm mechanism with heatproof grease.
Adjust the pop-up stopper mechanism by first loosening the locknut on the lift rod. If the stopper doesn't close all the way, shorten the linkage by screwing the rod 1⁄8" farther into the linkage‑adjusting bracket. If the stopper doesn't open wide enough, extend the linkage by unscrewing the rod 1⁄8". Tighten the locknut before replacing the mechanism and testing your adjustment.

Alumni In Action - Public Service Spotlight
"Urban planning and economic development are two of the most stimulating and intellectually satisfying types of work one can do," says Sandy Goldstein (MS 1998). "And a business improvement district," she adds, "is an incredible way of helping to create a sense of place in a community, increase real estate values, and support local businesses." Goldstein is the president of the Downtown Special Services District (DSSD) in Stamford, Connecticut, a post she has held since 1993. Since that time, she has implemented a number of programs and initiatives that have had tremendous impact on the city. In the last five years alone, for example, the cumulative real estate value of downtown Stamford has nearly tripled, to $2.1 billion, according to the Stamford Advocate. Read more.

Britain's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff seems to have been dumped by his Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts.
The couple have been inseparable since they started dating six months ago.
Reports of the split comes just a day after they were seen out in London at the Clinton's Celebrity Fastcard event.
During the event, the former Baywatch only had eyes for his girlfriend as they posed for pictures with scantily clad models.
However, a tweet on Hasselhoff's official page read: "So Hayley Roberts Has dumped me."
There were signs that Hayley was not ready to commit to the actor after turning down his three marriage proposals.
Last month, David teased that he was ready to tie the knot for the third time.
He admitted: "I believe in marriage. Right now with Hayley things are getting better in every way."
Roberts recently told Reveal magazine: "Why rush into something so soon?
"We've only been dating eight months and we're still learning about each other.
"I think two years down the line, things will be different, as they won't be so early and new."

On Wikileaks & the Pakistan memos
Today Wikileaks published 92,000 classified cables from military, intelligence, and other US officials in the field in Afghanistan. The New York Times, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel were given access to the documents a month ago and have published reports on the data (for a description on how this came about, see this NYT report).
Of particular interest are the cables on Pakistan's support of the Afghan Taliban and other terror groups. Read the full NYT report on this issue here for an excellent summary.
Longtime readers of The Long War Journal will not be shocked by these reports. For years, Tom Joscelyn and I have been documenting the involvement of the Pakistani military and intelligence services with various terror groups. See Pakistan's Jihad and Analysis: Al Qaeda is the tip of the jihadist spear for summary reports from 2008 and 2009. Also, Hamid Gul has long been known to support the Taliban and al Qaeda. For a summary of the activities of Hamid Gul and others, see US moves to declare former Pakistani officers international terrorists.
Tom and I will have more to come on these and other subjects as we sift through the documents.
On a final note, there is criticism of some of the intelligence reports as some of the information has originated from Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, which has viewed Pakistan as driving the violence in Afghanistan. This is a specious argument. As the NYT points out, there are specific attacks in Afghanistan that can be matched with intelligence reports that were written prior to the time the attacks were executed.

Some heads should roll in Pentagon and State for knowingly letting our troops be in harm's way by providing billions to Pakistan for their fiendish behavior. This is treason.
Posted by naresh c at July 26, 2010 1:46 AM ET:
And what does the wikileak say about who funds the Pakistani military, ISI and the economy?
It is aid from US.

Wow ! How do you proof read over 90,000 pages of purported documents? Answer: you don't.
This is nothing but a "fishing expedition" by the anti war crowd. Look up the phrase "fishing expedition" in any law dictionary (or just google it) to see what I am referring to here. And, the source material for this "fishing expedition" will be these so-called documents.
Scrutinize carefully the articles cited by Bill to the NYT articles. They have decided to take liberty upon themselves to "redact" select data (such as names, places, etc.). How can someone trying to proofread such documents confirm their authenticity or reliability?
There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of it is most likely decoy material to throw off any critical appraisle of the material.
There may well be (an) individual (or individuals) guilty of commiting treason in this matter.
We are guilty of abandoning the good Afghans not once but twice. Once, when we abandoned them after they expelled the Soviets, and again, when we went into Iraq which drained our resources and took up so much of our attention. This is why we've fallen so far behind in Afghanistan.
Yet, you won't see that point being made by the NYT or the other outlets wikileaks so selectivetly decided to reveal this alleged data to.
A cardinal rule of any good military planner is "never allow your enemy to regroup itself." Yet, the previous administration is guilty I feel of such a colossal blunder on a par with Hitler's colossal blunder at Dunkirk.
And, wasn't it him who said right after the 9-11 attacks that (before Congress or the UN I forget which): "They that harbor terrorists must share in their fate." So, when scum laden ("allegedly" and so conveniently) "escaped" into Pakistan with his fellow ilk, why didn't he order (or allow) our military to go in after him?

First my reaction to the information released. It is a shockingly vast amount of intelligence, but it pretty much confirms what I have been reading all along. It has plenty of new detail, but does not present a radically changed picture. The "official"� picture of Afghanistan presented by the government, is less a rosy picture than dry portrayal that downplays how the war has gotten worse over the years. During that time, attention was focused elsewhere. There hasn't been a lot of coverage of the war in Afghanistan and even less interest by the general public. As for the information itself, it is tracked by the news media and most notably by this web site, which relies for the most part on publicly sourced information. So the information is available, but not in this quantity and detail. We have been discussing the rather bleak realities in both Afghanistan and Pakistan for about five years now. It's not like this radically changes the picture.
This is ready made public firestorm done to support a political agenda. The question is, will the public firestorm be directed at the conduct of the war, or will this whole thing backfire on Wikileaks. Wikileaks mission truly audacious. They aim to "take on"� the governments ability to keep any sort of state secrets. They are openly willing to encourage treason to support their political agenda. It will be interesting to see how the political community lines up on this. Openly and directly supporting treason is a pretty radical stance. I think there are quite a few people who have doubts about the war, but still feel this sort of directed subterfuge is beyond the pale. The "Truthers"� will be absolutely giddy with delight about this. It will be interesting to see how the general public reacts to such an audacious tactic.
On a political note, this sort of action may be extremely corrosive within the Democratic party. I realize that this isn't the place for political debate on this. It must be stated though, that the core of the anti-war faction is now openly pitting themselves against the state. It's one thing to be politically active within the system to change policy or to organize the media and grass roots efforts for public action outside of the political system. It's is another thing altogether to join internationalist "peace"� movements that directly defy laws, directly act to undermine the conduct of government, openly encourage acts of treason, and in the end directly circumvent the will of the electorate.
I'll leave the little note about possible political repercussions at that. There will be more!
Posted by Neo at July 26, 2010 9:52 AM ET:
This is much >>>> bigger than the "Pentagon Papers"� Note for the scandal it brings up, but for the political ramifications. This is a direct challenge not only against current government policy and conduct, but it directly challenges the foundations of carrying out government policy. That means any policy! Let there be no mistake, this is an open attack on the policy establishment.
Posted by Mike at July 26, 2010 10:38 AM ET:
Whether or not this leak this is a fishing expedition, or whether we're funding the insurgency indirectly with aid to Pakistan, treason is probably not the word we're looking for here. Whoever leaked the documents most likely committed a crime, yes, but it is not treasonous. Aiding Pakistan may be unwise as policy, but it is not treasonous. Since when was doing something the political right wing disagrees with tantamount to treason? It is a funny quirk in our national discourse right now...
The effect of publishing this information is to shed light on some aspects of this war that have remained hidden. The agenda of the wikileaks and their sources is not really the issue.
Openness is not the enemy in this war. Secrecy is sometimes necessary, but as a nation the US should be unafraid of a full airing of the truth. (And as I understand it, certain documents were witheld to protect the identities of informants against the Taliban.)
Posted by Charley at July 26, 2010 12:37 PM ET:
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death.
What Did They Know, When Did They Know It?
We are clearly giving aid (Kerry/Lugar) and comfort to the enemy (Pakistan), and adhering to them ("indispensable ally in GWOT").
Posted by john at July 26, 2010 1:00 PM ET:
This is the best thing to have happened in the Afghan war for a long time. The more the public is aware of extent of pakistan's role harder it becomes to justify the doleouts to its army. Without the discounted. american spares & aircraft, the army would crumble within couple of years. Any scenario which leaves the army in a strong position, post-withdrawal would doom the US.
Posted by Charu at July 26, 2010 1:02 PM ET:
Gambling in Casablanca? Shocking! How is aiding Pakistan not treasonous when this aid is used to kill our troops? How are we supposed to win a war where the enemy is given shelter and aided and abetted by our "ally"; an ally who stays afloat only because of the billions of our taxpayer money pouring in? This charge of treason indicts several administrations, and not just this one; however, this is the administration currently in charge and they should be on the dock for continuing matters as they currently are, even though they know exactly what the Pakistanis are playing at. The Pakistani military is a rogue military like few that have ever existed. The killings in Mumbai were clearly directed by Pakistani military personnel. Anyone who heard the recorded conversation between the Pakistani handler and the doomed Jewish hostage at the Chabad house in Mumbai knows this. David Headley, apparently, has confirmed the involvement of Pakistani military in training and controlling the operation. And yet we pretend that these rogue operations against one country that is peripherally on our radar means nothing towards how Pakistan "helps" us with our operations. It ain't the Pakistanis who are being schizophrenic; they are almost gleefully duplicitous in their actions. It is we who keep giving them the benefit of the doubt - from allowing China to give them a usable bomb, to allowing them to set up a nuclear Walmart and allowing them to cooperate on WMDs with North Korea (the only other country that is even more out-of-control than Pakistan), and now to allowing them to stab us in the back. This has to be treason, plain and simple. Someone must be making a lot of money from kickbacks and profiteering to allow this kind of perfidy to run unchecked; and it certainly isn't the grunt in the trenches.
Posted by Neo at July 26, 2010 1:17 PM ET:
Releasing restricted documents in the name of a political cause at a time of war, is treasonous. This isn't a whistle blower we are talking about. The first amendment has never been interpreted to mean that all affairs of state are public and all state information public. I rather doubt the Supreme Court would rules as such either. The government is fully within its rights to restrict the documents. It doesn't have to directly aid a foreign state to be treasonous. As far a Pakistan is concerned it probably creates more problems for them than provide useful intelligence. Just wait a few months until they out all the diplomatic communication they have as well.
Posted by wallbangr at July 26, 2010 1:47 PM ET:
Curious if old Pfc. Bradley Manning of "Collateral Murder" infamy) was the source. Recall in the media coverage earlier this month of the charges brought against him there was a lot of tough talk by Gates and the Administration about not tolerating leaks by whistleblowers. I wonder if perhaps they saw this coming. I note that Manning was charged not just for the so-called "collateral murder" leak, but for possessing and attempting to pass along a ton of other classified information.
Per WaPo: "Among the materials Manning is accused of transmitting to 'a person not entitled to receive them' are the video and more than 50 classified diplomatic cables. According to the charge sheet, he also downloaded more than 150,000 unclassified cables" He certainly had the axe to grind. Maybe he only got 92K cables of the 150K+ he had downloaded over to Wikileaks before they threw the book at him.
I don't know much about intelligence gathering but I'm aware that seemingly innocuous information can potentially give away our highly protected methods. What we know isn't as damaging as the fact that they are specifically aware that we know it. So while perhaps there were no real revelations about things like ISI complicity, this could have a real impact on our ability to continue to monitor them in the future. Of course, that presumes that they give a damn to begin with. Considering how openly they have flaunted their tacit support for our enemy, I'm doubtful they will feel the need to conceal it in the future.
And while I don't think that more awareness of Pak's duplicity is necessarily a bad thing, the Administration has had some reason not to let the press hear it from the horse's mouth. Can't unring that bell now. Perhaps it will put a little more pressure on the Pak leadership to quit turning the blind eye towards the common enemies within their own ranks. I won't hold my breath, though.
Posted by wallbangr at July 26, 2010 2:06 PM ET:
As to the constitutional issue, here is the legal analysis with respect to the government's ability to go after Wikileaks for the leak. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2010/07/26/pentagon-papers-ii-on-wikileaks-and-the-first-amendment/
Doubtful, although the government may be inclined to try it to avoid this situation from occuring in the future. Especially if they can prove that Wikileaks was "in on" getting the information to begin with, rather than just a passive recipient.
If the Gov't knew it was coming (as I suspect they might have given the tough talk surrounding the charges against Pfc. Manning) they likely couldn't have done anything to stop it anyway, per the Pentagon Papers (NYTimes vs. US) decision before the Supreme Court.
The person they will want to nail to the wall is the person who leaked. Which is why I think they tried to come down hard on Mr. Manning in an attempt to disuade him from permitting their publication.
Whether Mr. Manning (or whoever leaked the information) has a first amendment right to publish this informaion I seriously doubt. Proving that he was the source might be the problem. Wikileaks will never reveal their source. I wonder what the government has on Mr. Manning. It has acknowledged that he downloaded more than 150K classified cables.
It would probably be a legal dogfight, but I think Mr. Manning might just be reconsidering his little act of protest if he was, in fact, the source of the leak.
Posted by TimSln at July 26, 2010 6:22 PM ET:
As Bill and Neo stated and as a long time reader of the LWJ, I don't see anything fundamentally different from what I already know.
Just like the Pakistani Taliban connections to the Times Square plot, the LWJ again is ahead of the MSM, especially on the ISI and Hamid Gul.
Posted by TimSln at July 26, 2010 6:51 PM ET:
I don't know if anything will come out of this, but former ISI official Colonel Imam Sultan Amir Tarar threatens to tell all.
If the government continues to refuse negotiations for his freedom,
Tarar further threatens to disclose highly sensitive information about "the weaknesses of our nation"�
and the secret "game being played with Afghanistan, India, Russia, and America."�
Posted by DANNY at July 26, 2010 8:37 PM ET:
I just saw the guy from Wikileaks saying on CNN or MSNBC, this information leaked shows cover-up of US war crimes. Sounds like his agenda is quite different than LWJs.
Posted by Neo at July 27, 2010 9:54 AM ET:
Yes, the person who is legal hot water is Pfc. Bradley Manning. The wikileaks site would be hard to prosecute unless they were actively involved in the gathering of information. Manning will be going away for a very long time. At first glance it looks like Manning is a rather immature fellow whose first impulse at his disillusionment is direct and massive sabotage. It is a direct act of sabotage for an intelligence analyst to dump as much raw information as he had access to onto the internet.
Posted by wallbangr at July 27, 2010 10:21 AM ET:
He's definitely got an axe to grind. Which may mean that he had more to do with obtaining the leaked cables than simply being a "passive recipient." If that is the case, the government could potentially go after Wikileaks. However, given their overseas situs, difficult jurisdictional issues are likely. Considering his statements in the past and his obvious bent towards exposing the "Big Lie," I'm guessing that Wikileaks has been more than a passive recipient
Posted by Mr T at July 27, 2010 12:06 PM ET:
Mr Wikileaks dufus doesn't know it but some of that data which make look inoculous to him, will provide meaningful data to our enemies. They will be able to see something that will lead them to hide things we are secretly onto as well as provide them information on collaborators which will probably result in their death by brutal Taliban extremists. He is getting people killed. Perhaps he should be brought to justice for his crimes against humanity.
He doesn't seem to worry if others die, perhaps he needs to suffer the same fate and see how it feels.
Posted by Sumit at July 27, 2010 12:36 PM ET:
Well, It doesn't comes as a surprise to many of us for sure. I don't seem US media picking it up and running with this disclosure. How does it affects local Politics in US when all this info is in public domain? during my stay in US I gathered that common American citizen don't want war and want the boys to be back home asap which Obama promised as part of change. What happens now? Will the mighty US leave Af-pak as defeated? How about some face saving and making someone scapegoat? How about getting the worth out of Pakistan for the all tax paying dollars?
Posted by Neo at July 27, 2010 1:44 PM ET:
This OP ed from the New York Times by Andrew Exum was very good. http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/archives/2010/07/on_wikileaks_the_pakistan_memo.php
His primary point is that these are raw reports are given without any sort of overall context. He also repeats the opinion held by many here that there is little in the way of radically new information within the achieve. It contains greater detail and more examples but nothing that essentially contradicts the reporting of events that has been going on for the last decade.
He makes a point that this is less profound than the "Pentagon Papers"� in that the Pentagon Papers offer an internal narrative of the Vietnam War that contradicted the public account of the Vietnam War at the time. This only provides more data in raw form. I have to agree with the point, although I still think that the size and audacity of the security breach and its challenge to the intelligence community is greater than the Pentagon Papers.
What is radical here is the fact that we now have private activists going into the business of large scale and systematic espionage. It isn't traditional in the sense they dare send in their own moles to ferret out information, but they have set themselves up as a conduit to gather and collate then pass along sensitive information they deem suitably damaging.
Posted by James at July 28, 2010 3:15 AM ET:
Strange, with all his talk about war crimes, I see plenty of war crimes in these documents COMMITTED BY THE TALIBAN. For instance, where they summarily executed 4 doctors working for a foreign humanitarian aid network (as was so "casually" mentioned in a TIME online article).
Rather odd to I might add, that this guy has been all over this world EXCEPT FOR AFGHANISTAN (which he even admits to in the TIME interview). Should we wonder why?
Of course, if he ever does contemplate going into Afghanistan, I'm sure his security might be a major concern of his. There are probably a lot of Afghans (not to mention ISI stooges in Pakistan) that wouldn't mind it all to have this guy conveniently (to put it rather nicely) "eliminated."
Posted by T Ruth at July 28, 2010 1:32 PM ET:
So the Taliban are supported by the ISI and the ISI/Pak army are supported by the Pak people and the ISI/Pak army/Pak people are supported by the US.
Isn't that the big-picture story?
So why should one get lost in the detail of the messengers, Wikileaks, their source, Manning or whoever?
As for wikileaks, welcome to the Information Age of 21C. They're here to stay and you can't do a fig about it. Analyse it till the cow's come home. Or, conserve your energy and sort out your evil ally, if you can. That is, if you can rectify the incompetence of the last 9 years. You don't need a PhD to figure this out.
America's role and status in the world in this 21C is being defined by this war.
Posted by T Ruth at July 28, 2010 1:47 PM ET:
TimSim, thanks for that link. Poor Col Imam, i guess wikileaks took the wind out of his sails.
John, i do believe you are spot-on. The Pak army has so long been part of the problem, it is illogical to conceive that they will suddenly, or even over time, become part of the solution.
Posted by bill s at July 28, 2010 2:14 PM ET:
Assange & co just put coalition agents at risk. Its easy to criticize the war from afar, they should try being at the sharp end, where death & misery are constant companions.
Posted by James at July 28, 2010 9:22 PM ET:
I am curious can this guy (the founder) from wikileaks be sued in the civil courts for slander and libel for falsely accusing US service members (in addition to other nationalities) of committing war crimes?
And, can he be sued for callously and recklessly putting in grave danger the lives of innocent Afghan civilians?
In addition, can the NYT and other media outlets also be sued on a similar basis.
Just as I predicted, the "fishing expedition" has begun.
As I asserted before, I believe this material was mainly intended to serve as the "raw material" for his preselected media outlets and the anti war critics to conduct this "fishing expedition."
I'm still trying to decipher this stuff. It's about as exciting as trying to read through a statistical abstract from start to finish.
Posted by Sumit at July 29, 2010 12:42 AM ET:

MEDFORD, Ore. — The Palliative Care Program at Providence Hospital is getting a big booth to help those diagnosed with chronic illnesses.
A holiday fundraiser helped bring in nearly a half-million dollars. The Providence Festival of Trees surpassed its fundraising goal this year, raising a little more than $487,000.
That money will be used by the Palliative Care Program to train clinicians and provide community outreach. Providence says its thankful for the support.
The event also raised more than $35,000 for the Swindells Resource Center, which helps families of children with special needs.

4 3 of the best films ever...just not this box set.themarkyofbath | 28/05/2007 | See all themarkyofbath's reviews (57)All three of the Trilogy but only the three remastered version with the dodgy extra bits crow barred in. Why not get the three individual disks from the latest release which contain both the remastered versions and the original on DVD.
5 What Must Be SaidAlatriste | 24/09/2007 | See all Alatriste's reviews (12)I was one of the unlucky ones...I never got to see Star Wars in 1977...I wasn't born. Yet when I caught sight of these pillars of cinema in 1997,I couldn't help but be enveloped by everything that Lucas created for generations before me. I don't know if it's because he takes so long developing a story,or because he cannot be bothered, but when Mr. Lucas makes a film, it's a corker. Throughout the trilogy, memerable characters guide the viewer around a galaxy as well concieved as Tolkien's. Every aspect of these three monumental pictures reeks grandeur, heroism and operatic confrontations yet show a huge emotional centre in such a simple tale about good vs evil. With such grand spectacles as the Death Star dogfight, the Hoth Battle and the final, inevitable showdown between Luke and Vader who wouldn't find some part this mammoth trilogy to be enthralled by.Alongside it's story(I refer to the trilogy as singular,as it is a single,cohesive film cut into three chapters)the visual effects are a marvel. Now every movie can easily 'CGI it', whereas the trilogy was created before dependance of the PC, instead a practical approach had to be taken...and with great effect. And as ever, John Williams score is miraculous,as if the music and visuals always existed together, with every note from the opening crawl to the vast,bravado brass of the Empire creating a story in itself.Yet one of the most ingenious inventions of the 'original' trilogy was to present it as the latter of two stories. Although everyone who seen Jar Jar Binks would want to strangle him, I believe Episodes I,II and III only add and strengthen the appeal of the greatest set of films ever made.
5 The force is strong with this one...Hyde2612 | 16/05/2007 | See all Hyde2612's reviews (195)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer To discuss the monumental effect that the `Star Wars' trilogy has had on modern culture is to begin a discussion way too expansive to start here. Instead just close your eyes and try to imagine this...Life WITHOUT `Star Wars'...difficult isn't it? No other franchise in the history of cinema has enraptured, enthralled and delighted so many fans, young and old, that `Star Wars' has, and still continues to do today. This year, as I'm in no doubt most of you already know, will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the original release of Episode IV and still the impact of Star Wars continues to grow. From the opening moments of John Williamss' groundbreaking, iconic score all three films were full of characters, creatures, aliens, weapons, spacecraft and planets the likes of which we'd never witnessed before. And no other trilogy manages to evoke such nostalgia in me than Lucas' original trilogy. Memories of a childhood spent transfixed in front of the screen, in awe of this spectacular space epic. Afternoons spent in the back garden re-enacting `The Battle of Endor' Winning first prize at a fancy dress party dressed as Darth Vader. My endless trips into town to try and get my hands on the latest `must-buy' toys. And, of course, the strange feelings that Princess Leia made me feel - feelings that, certainly back then, I'd never imagined women could ever make you feel! The original trilogy was perfect in every way - Empire was darker, more complex (and better) than the original and, though the weakest of the trilogy, Jedi still entertained with its vast menagerie of strange creatures in Jabba's palace. And, sad though it may sound, I still get a lump in my throat when that poor little Ewok bites the big one...Star Wars is what cinema is all about - pure escapism, the kind of movie that sweeps you up in its vision and takes you on an unforgettable, timeless journey to a galaxy far, far away. Though certainly entertaining, the recent prequels, with all their CGI gloss and big name cast have, somehow, totally failed to come anywhere near to the sheer brilliance of the original trilogy. Even though Jar Jar Binks isn't quite the demonic hellspawn everyone seems to think he is...
1 I love Star Wars but...yetihw | 22/09/2008 | See all yetihw's reviews (28)I assume these are the remastered versions? These versions are abominations. I almost threw a TV out of a window when I saw the end of the 'remastered' Jedi with Hayden Christensen with Yoda and Obi-Wan I was so angry. And the 'remastered' Jabba, and any of the animatronics that have been replaced with CG just look awful. No need to tamper with perfection.For those who may be unaware you can buy these films seperately on play with 'bonus' disks which contain the original versions (as seen in cinema) of the films, the way they should be watched. So I am certainly not giving Star Wars 1 star, the individual original versions all get 5, but I am just fed up with Lucas's pittyful attempts to cash in and I just don't see the point in the new versions.
5 Source of forceConOsW | 12/06/2007 | See all ConOsW's reviews (7)A trilogy box of 4 Dvd's, 3 movies and 1 Bonus material. Three movies of really good special effects, really good actors in three legendary episodes all coming in a nice silver box. 6 Hours of movies and the bonus material showing the creation of those masterpieces, the costumes, the editing etc These are movies you can watch over and over again without getting bored of them, the action of space battles, lightsaber fights and use of force etc. So upgrade your dvd movie collection by adding this box set.If you want my opinion? Order it now!
