15 Behind the Scenes Photos That Ruin the Movie
I collect pictures of actors in costume between takes, when they're not actually filming anything. I don't know why, it's just an odd little hobby I developed a few years ago (probably to impress chicks or something). I even started a side blog to serve as a home for this hobby, but I almost never update it, because I only believe in wasting my time on stupid nonsense to a point.
But that doesn't mean I don't want to waste your time, so I've collected some of my favorites here, for this column. Some in-costume, on-set photos are funny because they're out of context, some are fascinating in a behind-the-scenes sort of way, and some are neat because seeing them absolutely hurts the film from which they come. All of these are in that third category, because I wanted to not just waste your time, but also maybe ruin your favorite movies. Enjoy!
(Also, just as a heads up, I hope you guys like Star Wars ...)
#15. Greedo fromStar Wars (A New Hope)
Greedo was an alien bounty hunter tasked with bringing down the un-bring-downable Han Solo. Even though we never really got to know Greedo, the fact that he had the balls and attitude to intimidate the badass Solo with his brief time on screen speaks volumes.
How It Hurts the Movie
Greedo went from being a menacing rival of Han's to being arguably the least creepy member of a 1970s gang of violent sex-partiers.
#14. Don Corleone from The Godfather
The Godfather is one of the greatest movies of all time, and Don Corleone is one of the greatest characters of all time.
I don't know any other context you might want for this. You should probably just see the movie.
"Man, he is such an ASSHOLE and -- wait ... he's right behind me, isn't he?"
How It Hurts the Movie
If you concentrate, this can actually improve the movie. Francis Ford Coppola looks like such a lunatic in this picture, he's just staring straight ahead, not interacting with anyone or anything. For the rest of my life, I'm going to assume that in his original vision for The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola was supposed to be in every shot, playing Don Corleone's stoic, bearded, crazy lumberjack of a conscience, in an Amityville Horror meets Jiminy Cricket sort of way. I like to pretend that they filmed the entire movie with Coppola standing around being visible only to Corleone, like a schlubby, beardy Gazoo, whispering encouragement or advising him when appropriate.
"Don't listen to Tom, Don Corleone, listen to me. Listen to meeee, dum-dum."
In my stupid head, at the last minute, the studio just said, "Look, we tried it, but this whole 'denim-wearing conscience' thing just isn't working. Cut Coppola out of every frame, remove him using the CGI that hasn't been invented yet."
#13. Spider-Man from The Amazing Spider-Man
There's a new Spider-Man movie coming out in a few months, and if you didn't already know that, then frankly I don't care to know you. The Amazing Spider-Man is, allegedly, a darker, grittier and more realistic take on the iconic character.
I'm Not Obsessed!
"Hi! Hiiiiiii!"
How It Hurts the Movie
Hahahaha. Oh man. Look at that fucking picture. Oh, man.
#12. Voldemort from Harry Potter
I still haven't seen any of the Harry Potter movies, but I've learned enough from the trailers and from being alive in the world to know that Voldemort is the bad guy.
How It Hurts the Movie
Seems like Voldemort is a perfectly nice guy. Maybe Harry would've realized that if he'd just sat down and talked to Voldemort, like all of the people in this scene. That Voldemort sure seems to have a lot on his mind.
"I just ... I don't know, maybe I'm just tired. I get headaches a lot. Do you think I might need glasses? I'm always -- It's like, in -- Right behind my eyes, is where the pain is. I've also been having some weird dreams lately, if you have a minute to talk about it ..."
#11. Batman and Bane from The Dark Knight Rises
If the previews and brief synopses I've read are any indication, Bane is a terrifying, almost unstoppable agent of destruction, unlike anything Batman has ever faced. He's brilliant, physically impressive and completely deadly.
"Man, look at us. What are we even fighting about?"
How It Hurts the Movie
Because it looks like Bane and Batman finally got approved to adopt that kid they've had their eyes on.
And if that ISN'T an on-set shot and Dark Knight Rises really does end when Batman and Bane realize "You know, we're not so different, you and I," and decide to be friends and move in together or whatever, then I am going to be so pissed.
#10. An Alien from Aliens
"I can't do it, I just can't, there's -- I'm just so goddamn SICK of fighting space marines. Mom was right. Shoulda stuck with jazz piano. Stupid. Stupid.
How It Hurts the Movie
I'll never be able to watch the Alien movies without sympathizing with the aliens now. Look at how exhausted and, like, heartbroken that alien is. He's like a lonely 12-year-old at a middle school dance, parking himself in the corner. "No, guys, I'm fine, leave me alone, I just don't feel like dancing or talking right now." Dude just needs a hug.
Fuck you, Ripley.
#9. Tim Burton from Edward Scissorhands
Edward Scissorhands was a collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton before they both got so ... Johnny Deppy and Tim Burtony.
It was awesome.
How It Hurts the Movie
It just assures me that there's a better, scarier version of this movie somewhere, a version that stars Tim Burton as the deranged lunatic. Even without makeup, he's the creepiest-looking guy in a picture that features Vincent Price and a guy with scissors for hands.
#8. Leia and C-3PO from Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back)
Another Star Wars entry!
How It Hurts the Movie
I guess the movie's fine, but this really steps on the toes of the fan fiction I've been working on.

Time for W.Va. to take step for marriage equality
January 8, 2013
This past November, I was on a cruise and had a terrible accident. I fell and tore a tendon in my knee, resulting in surgery and months of disability and recuperation....
My understanding from reading various sources is that the Native Americans (from North to South America) heavily used slavery with other raided tribes.
The same for Africa, where I understand slavery is still used today (particularly by the Muslims, or certain "superior" tribes).
That doesn't condone chattel slavery for European settlers, but let's not deceive ourselves that slavery only began 600 or 450 years ago with Columbus. BTW, Columbus was 1492--not 1412.

ok - 600 means slavery came here in 1412 - and obviously that is not the case - lets be on the conservative side and say 450 years - feel better now?

"Our short-sighted choices are increasingly catching-up with us..."
True indeed. And the consequences they will still blame on those that resisted. If only we had been more tolerant and understanding, they will say. There is no cure for stupid. It's been a steady progression from Kinsey till today, and it will get worse. No matter how badly they want to blame someone else, they will know when the consequences come that it was their own doing.

Grateful(ly) Dead(icated) to expanding my mind and exposing myself to all that life has to offer. What you need KLAVA is a drink from the big boy cup. I have a little electric koolaid for you. Perhaps your miserable life could be turned around with a chemical eraser that your mind surely needs. No one ever says "you have to sleep with so and so.." but you want the right to tell some folks whom they cannot sleep with and be happy. You are a sorry person with little morals or values, yet you feel the need to try and disparage those who may or may not share your point of view because it is different.

I don't disagree with you on the unfortunate realities of our current political correctness. My argument is more the principled inherency of an act.
I have a strong feeling that even if your line of argument is successful, it will only result in more federal spending on "educating" youth about sexual choices and handing out more "free" ******s.
Without the eternal Truth of God, our society is blindly following "what feels good" at the moment. Our short-sighted choices are increasingly catching-up with us...

Bullhead - But the science of it and the experience demonstrates that the group identifiedd as MSM has the highest incidences of most STD's. The government's (CDC) own statistics say the same. The more we legitimize the so-called "lifestyle" and sexual preference explosion, the more of this we will see. While we obviously cannot stamp it out, we need not endorse, glorify, and even preach its merits to youth.
If you don't believe that health concerns can sway the "Proressive open-mind" either, it can at least inform the mind of the many that are hearing only the left's arguments in behalf of the practices and reduce support for further advancement. Look at what it did to "smoking". If public disdain for smoking is valid in the name public health, then too this threat should be disdained and held up to ridicule rather than tolerated and approved.

No worries. No offense at your comments. I am trying to get HillTop to see that he/she is not "open-minded" despite the claims. In fact, HillTop is largely close-minded in their stated paradigm.
However, I am trying to go to the root of many of these discussion. I feel like arguing health concerns is a bit superficial and won't sway the "Proressive open-mind" either.
After all, I would say the health issue isn't an inherent problem for homosexuality. If a homosexual enters into a monogamous relationship, most acts would not raise any concerns that wouldn't be present in a heterosexual lifestyle.
Until everyone realizes that all legislation is imposing one side's religion/worldview over another side's religion/worldview, I seriously doubt that we are going to make much positive progress.

HillTop has been brainwashed by the radical atheists, or "new atheism" arising in our morally bankrupt society. Yesterday, I believe, he cited a variation on Marx's "opium of the masses" with a calumny on the Catholic mass as "opera" for entertainment ... or some such nonsense. Below he says "No one has yet come up with an argument against marriage equality that is not based on pure prejudice and religion.", which rather ignores the public health impact of the "lifestyle". That is why this progression to normalize and mandate acceptance is so dangerous. Any ... ANY ..., demand by that lifestyle to advance its legitimacy is a threat to public health.

Bullhead - Don't be offended but I think I mentioned to you once before why it is useless to argue faith and scripture, or doctrine, with a radical atheist such as HillTop. You are attempting to "witness" to someone with no faith, or even an open mind toward religion. Your approach is suitable when dealing with someone open-minded. You are basically using the methods of "presuppositional" apologetics. If you must entertain a debate with HillTop you will need to rely on the more rationalist based argments of classic Christian apologetics or just philosphical rationalism and religious phiosophy. Though with HillTop and the "boogeyman" that lives in his head, you will still be wasting time if your goal is to convince him of the existance of God.

How does a homosexual "marriage" diminish anyone's heterosexual "marriage?" I for one feel everyone has the right to be as miserable as anyone else when they choose to "legally" join their lives together. Our republic is built on the foundations of increasing individual liberties and freedom to all. "we hold these truths to be self evident; that ALL (wo)men are created EQUAL." We are slowly moving towards the perfectness of that ideal. Dumb stupid small minded white males are becomming the miinority

God came before all (even the Scriptures). The commands were there from oral tradition even before the written Scripture.
Marriage and cohabitation are not the same. Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman that is not supposed to be broken until death. Out of man's sinfulness, God has granted the exception of infidelity. Many civilly-recognized "marriages" don't fit this covenant.
And your examples of the State's interests would give reasons why it should NOT be involved in Marriage at all. However, the Judeo-Christian States are involved in Marriage because they have traditionally held that it is a good thing ordained by God to be encouraged and promoted. Is that State enacting a moral code? Even if I take your explanation, it is still a State legislating a religion/worldview.

HillTop - Aren't you arguing against yourself again. You say in one paragraph that there are "benefits of marriage that cannot be duplicated by other means ....", then follow that with a claim that gays tried such an approach and the mean ol homophobes tried to block it.
And all these "benefits" you list, are they equally available to a single person ?

Marriage, in various forms and ideals, came long before Western Judeo-Christian culture or American law. It's not as if couples wouldn't couple if some dusty old scripture didn't command it, and it's obvious that marriage has changed considerably over the centuries in spite of the tired old argument that it hasn't changed for 6,000 years (these are the same people who think the world is only that old).
One of the State's primary interests (i.e., the public interest) is peace and order. Fairness and justice tend to help maintain peace and order. Fairness and justice are commonly perceived as morally right and pleasing to the gods. The State, however, is not concerned about whether maintaining peace and order is pleasing or displeasing to someone's gods or other imaginary friends. The gods have been known to be rather disorderly and capricious, so they're not a good model for how humans should govern their affairs.

If you can't think of any benefits of marriage that cannot be duplicated by other means (or as cheaply or automatically), you need to do some actual research. Survivor benefits for Social Security is just one, disposition of estate is another, standing to sue for wrongful death is another. A lawyer could probably make a list as long as your arm. Heterosexual couples who are in the same situation at least have the option to rectify it if they want, and that's all gay couples are asking for—the same privilege (actually a right for heteros per the Supreme Court).
One especially spiteful and backward state (i.e., Virginia) even passed a law forbidding same-sex couples from attempting to duplicate the benefits of marriage by other legal means. That nasty law probably can't stand up to the courts since it violates the basic premises of contract law and freedom, but there it is. That's the kind of "fairness" being offered to gay couples by the bigots.

America is all about equal rights for all, under the law.

There isn't anything in your list that can't be addressed outside of marriage. Like contracts or provisions in applicable laws etc.
The issue here is that the gay community is aiming for special rights. They are demanding we all celebrate their way beyond and above everybody else's way. Or have you heard of Heterosexual Awareness Week in public schools, complete with instruction on what practices constitute heterosexuality? Coupled with the eventual charge of homophobia if somebody dares discussing from the non-PC position. This is a far cry from expecting equal treatment under the law as distinguished from between individuals.

Broad Institute/Dana-Farber Integrative Cancer Biology Program
Cancer biology is in the midst of major transition — from a primary focus on isolated components (e.g., oncogenes) to an integrated focus on systems (e.g., pathways). This transition has become feasible only recently, following two decades of intensive work on the molecular biology of cancer (leading to the identification of many oncogenes) and on the human genome (providing the ability to take comprehensive global views of biological systems).
A "systems biology" approach is clearly essential to the understanding and treatment of cancer. We need an integrated view expressed in terms of pathways — consisting of comprehensive knowledge of those pathways that are active and those that are essential in each cancer. Such a systems-level understanding of cancer will have major implications for (i) understanding the development and progression of cancer and (ii) creating therapeutic agents and combinations and matching them to patients.
Recognizing the need for integrated systems approaches to cancer, the National Cancer Institute's Integrated Cancer Biology Program (ICBP) has created a network of Centers for Systems Cancer Biology (CCSB). This network aims to work collaboratively to provide a systems-level understanding of cancer via the generation of multidimensional data, sophisticated yet accessible computational tools, experimental techniques and interdisciplinary training for the next generation of cancer systems biologists.
Phase I (2004-2009)
In 2004, we launched the Broad Institute/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Center for Integrative Cancer Biology, funded as part of the NCI's ICBP network. This center created a community of scientists working at the interface of computational cancer biology and experimental cancer biology. The focus of the Center from 2004-2009 has been on establishing patterns of kinase essentiality in cancer, with the notion that what was developed and learned through that kinase-focused effort could later expand to a broader approach to cancer systems biology. The Center was successful beyond all expectations — as measured by productivity (>400 publications by Center-funded investigators during the funding period, including 49 multidisciplinary, collaborative papers between Center-funded PIs); by the development of new systems biology-oriented laboratory methods (e.g., RNAi screening and phospho-proteomic profiling); by computational method development (e.g., Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, and the Connectivity Map project), and by direct uptake of Center methods by the scientific community (e.g., >8000 users of the Connectivity Map, >12,000 users of GSEA software, and >10,000 users of GenePattern software).
Phase II (2010-2015)
In 2010, the Broad Institute ICBP/Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB) received sustaining funding as part of the second round of NCI ICBP funding. We are now expanding the scope of our previous studies to genome-scale and have assembled an integrated team with the following scientific focus:
The Broad CCSB has the overall goal of developing computational models that predict genome-wide essentiality based on the molecular characteristics of the tumor. A critical goal in cancer research is to accurately predict essential genes/proteins across a diversity of tumor subtypes. Such a capability would allow for i) the elucidation of the molecular targets against which therapeutics should be developed, and ii) the identification of specific patient populations likely to respond to such targeted interventions. Accomplishing this goal will require developing a deep understanding of the cellular circuitry of tumor cells — the details of which are increasingly recognized to depend on the genetic subtype of the tumor. A single set of network dependencies is unlikely to explain the diversity of even a single tumor type (e.g., whereas EGFR mutation in lung adenocarcinoma signals EGFR essentiality in some patients, those also harboring KRAS mutation are EGFR-independent. Similarly, EGFR mutations do not appear to confer EGFR essentiality in glioblastoma, where more complex oncogenic and feedback mechanisms appear to be at play). A way to tie functional dependencies to genetic diversity is therefore needed.
A number of technology developments over the past several years are now making it possible to seriously take on this goal. For example, the ability to perform genome-wide RNAi screens now makes it possible to systematically perturb the cancer genome, thereby identifying those genes that are essential in a given experimental system. In addition, it is becoming increasingly possible to perform extensive molecular characterization of tumor samples and model systems — including the patterns of gene copy number, gene expression, somatic mutation, tyrosine phosphorylation, etc., which might serve as predictive features of essentiality.
Major obstacles currently prevent rapid progress toward the goal of predicting essentiality: First, there is a lack of data of sufficient scope (i.e., genome-wide RNAi screening data and extensive molecular characterization) and scale (i.e., data spanning large numbers of cell lines that adequately represent the true genetic diversity of cancer). Second, there is a lack of a computational framework proven to be successful for the integrative challenge of generating predictive models of cellular phenotypes based on molecular features of the cell.
Our Center aims to overcome these obstacles, with the ultimate goal of developing predictive models that accurately identify the "Achilles' heels" of tumors of different genotypes. We are focusing on lung cancer and melanoma because i) there is great unmet medical need, ii) there exist appropriate experimental systems, iii) there is commitment of the investigators to these diseases, and iv) the focus on two cancer types will allow us to determine to what extent the predictive "rules" that govern the behavior of one tumor type are applicable to the other.

Business Community in Orlando and Volusia County Rallies Around the Hatters
DELAND, FL – Corporate sponsorship of Stetson University Athletics Programs is on the rise. Along with the return of football to the Stetson community for the first time in more than 50 years, and competitive athletics teams across 18 sports that reflect the academic excellence of the university, the launch of Stetson Sports Properties in June set a trajectory for sponsorship growth that has exceeded expectations.
Stetson Sports Properties represents the exclusive sponsorship and multimedia rights partnership between Stetson University and Rockbridge Sports Group. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, Rockbridge Sports Group is led by executives with decades of experience in building and executing fully-integrated property and media rights programs on behalf of some of the premier brands in collegiate sports.
"Stetson University is proud to partner with Rockbridge Sports Group," Jeff Altier, Director of Athletics for Stetson University, said. "On and off the field, the student-athletes and administration have held ourselves to high standards and accomplished tremendous goals. Partnering with Rockbridge Sports Group brings this same level of commitment to introducing a new model of sponsorship for Stetson Athletics. While long-term objectives are the foundation of our efforts, we are excited to already see real progress through the launch of Stetson Sports Properties."
Stetson Sports Properties is supported by a full-time staff, led by General Manager Matt Musgrove. Fully aligned with the Athletics Department, and building a proven program customized specifically for the Stetson community by Rockbridge Sports Group, Stetson Sports Properties is on pace less than halfway through FY14 to surpass the total sponsorship revenues for all of FY13.
"We are proud to partner with Stetson University," Rich Klein, Co-Founder and Principal of Rockbridge Sports Group, said. "We share a very intentional, and very passionate, approach to building value both for the institution and our sponsors. Companies in the Volusia County and greater Orlando area have long appreciated the quality of Stetson University Athletics. They are now appreciating the value in becoming part of the fabric of this community, and we will match their support with new strategies to leverage opportunities in the athletic venues and across the fast-evolving multi-media platform."
Rockbridge Sports, Media and Entertainment LLC (dba Rockbridge Sports Group) is pioneering a new model in collegiate, high school, and global event sponsorship and multi-media rights management, empowering clients to retain ownership and control of their brand while maximizing asset value and revenue in fast-changing digital and traditional environments.

Blood pressure is the force (tension) that the blood exerts in our blood vessels. When blood vessels get narrower, blood pressure increases. In some people, the blood vessels in their lungs become narrowed, causing high blood pressure in the lungs. This is a complex health problem called pulmonary (PULL-muh-nair-ee) hypertension (hi-per-TEN-shun). It is called "PH" for short. Pulmonary refers to the lungs. Hypertension is the medical name for high blood pressure.
PH may also scar the blood vessels in the lungs. For the heart to push blood through smaller, scarred blood vessels, the heart's right side must work harder. Over time, the heart can enlarge and weaken. This may lead to congestive heart failure.
PH falls into the 4 main types listed below:
The symptoms of PH may be similar to symptoms of other illnesses. This can make it difficult for doctors to identify PH. Common symptoms of PH include:
There are many possible causes of PH. To decide on the best treatment for you, the doctor must find the exact cause of your PH. The doctor also needs to identify any other disorders you may have that are related to PH. You will need to have many tests, which your doctor will carefully review. Below is a list of tests that you may have:
Several recent advances have been made in treatments for PH. This section tells you about the main types of treatment.
The generic name of each medicine is given first; the brand name is second.
For blood pressure in the lungs:
For heart failure and fluid build-up:
When medicines are not able to help enough, a lung transplant or a heart-and-lung transplant may be considered.
Researchers have been working to develop new and better treatments for PH. At the Heart Failure Program of UPMC Presbyterian, research studies are being done on experimental therapies for PH. Some patients may be eligible to take part in one of these studies. Both the study team and the patient's doctor follow the patient during the study. There is no fee to take part in these research studies.

The Common Council's Legislation Committee is expected to discuss a state law that would stiffen the penalties for disposing of human remains in an attempt to conceal a death.
Leslie Brill, the mother of Amanda L. Wienckowski, whose frozen body was found in a trash bin in 2009, has been invited to speak at the meeting, at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Council Chambers.
A measure from Council Member Darius G. Pridgen would put the Council on record in support of "Amanda Lynn's Law," sponsored by state Sen. Mark J. Grisanti.
"The purpose of the resolution is to continue to bring attention to a gruesome crime," Pridgen said.
Also this week:
• The Planning Board will meet at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday in Room 901 in City Hall.
• The Board of Ethics will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Room 1317 in City Hall.

8 Insulting Ways People Act 'Irish' on St. Patrick's Day
And she'll be as flattered by my next offer as you'll be upset.
No one wants to be Irish on Economy Day or Finding A Job Day. Not even the Irish, which is why mass emigration has been our default crisis response since boats were invented. But come Drinking Day suddenly everyone's begorring their leprechauns and generally proving they're as Irish as a really good point guard. So here's your guide to being a terrible fake-Irish person on St. Patrick's Day.
Due to a growth hormone deficiency leprechaun-droppings are small and shiny.
#8. Wear A "Kiss Me I'm Irish" T-Shirt
Feel free to punch anyone wearing one of these. I can guarantee they've already done something to deserve it. This T-shirt is the humor equivalent of an ankle tracking bracelet -- the wearer might not have done anything to you yet, but you probably shouldn't give them the chance. It's less a joke than an announcement of "If you initiate what's coming next it won't count as sexual assault."
My culture's special skill is subdividing pathetically tiny areas into even tinier ones and then getting stupid and violent about it. As a result, our island has more accents per square mile than the United Nations building. We have more blatantly ridiculous dialects than most science-fiction universes. Actual Irish people don't need to advertise their Irishness for the same reason Pavarotti didn't need to wear a name tag -- as soon as we open our mouths people can't understand a damn thing we're saying but love the sound anyway. Actual Irish people don't need to advertise being Irish. And if you meet one who does, well, now you know why that asshole had to leave to find someone who liked him. Because when someone decides the most interesting part of their existence is where their parents decided to have sex, that is one horrible mess of a person.
#7. Call It "St. Patty's Day"
Every time someone calls it "Patty's" they prove they can't get through 24 hours without thinking of hamburgers. Paddy is short for Padraig (even though the d is silent in some dialects). Pat is short for Patrick, which is an English name. You might be aware of a slight history between the two countries. It still sort of works, but it would be like calling Independence Day "Super Happy Funtime Discount Fireworking Celebration!" You get the idea, but you're still naming one nation's celebration based on the language practices of a different nation with a history of causing your compatriots to be blown up by small, badly made explosives.
#6. Wear a Flag Cape
Every year thousands of Americans pretend to be Irish about as convincingly as Greeks pretending to be a horse: it's obvious, it's stupid and anyone falling for it will be very sorry in the morning. The most hilarious method is wearing an Irish flag as a cape. I see this every year and you could only advertise your Americanity harder by being sworn in as president. This might be a shock, United States, but most countries don't use their flag as a hybrid of wallpaper and glitter. We don't feel the need to plaster it over every available surface because patriotism isn't measured by the square meter. In fact, if anyone has a less respectful way to treat a flag than sweating into it, sitting on it and vomiting over it, it's only because the Red Skull has spent 60 years hating Captain America.
This man has the most patriotic pit stains in history.
Unless you're strength incarnate and can list "punching Nazis" on your tax return, wearing your flag is hugely disrespectful. Respecting flags is important because it shows we're almost not retarded as a species. We used to kill anything that wasn't us, then anything that wasn't our family, our tribe, our village and eventually our country. We're only one more step from not being dumbasses. The flag is a nice reminder of that. It's not meant to be the default setting for decorations or a magic anti-terrorism charm. It's definitely not meant to be the cloak of Puking Asshole Man, and double-definitely when it's not even his flag.
"Without these little portable flags, we've found people forget and start being patriotic about TV channels and soft drinks."
#5. Try To Use a Cupla Focail
One thing Irish and American people have in common is why we don't speak our native language: a load of foreigners turned up and it turns out English speakers are just the best at killing natives.
Wikimedia Commons
This'll teach those blighters not to be born on an island off the coast of France!
Trying to show off with a cupla focail (few words) works as well in Irish as it does in any language, in that it doesn't. People who don't know the language don't care, and people who just met you don't either. It's like the asshole who insists on loudly ordering sushi by treating Japanese with all the volume, subtlety and careful respect of a tectonic fault. While the waiter thinks "I grew up in Brooklyn, asshole, and even if I didn't maybe working in a Manhattan restaurant means I know English."
"So that's four orders of ball-touched sushi with spit on the side, got it."
Actually knowing other languages is good, but claiming credit for stumbling through a few words is the most patronizing thing you can do to another culture since the Queen stopped deciding she wanted to own them. "See, you're worth a few lazy minutes of my time!" you beam, mispronouncing words their 5-year-old niece manages. "Show me love for bothering to acknowledge your hilarious novelty language!"
It doesn't help that Irish is deader than Romero villains. It's more useful to learn Latin because at least some important books were written in that. Gaeilge sounds like a drunken Klingon coughing up a hairball, and if you want to be Irish and unintelligible we sell far better products.
And this way you're helping our economy!

On a bright, crisp winter morning, the main entrance of Roswell Park Cancer Institute is busy with people of all description, walking in briskly, making their way slowly, or being pushed in wheelchairs. A few visitors line up at the information desk; others pause in the sun-splashed atrium to get their bearings; more head right for the elevators, on their way to appointments.
Some people look worried, some resolved, some just stoic. But faces soften and smiles appear as people catch sight of a small beagle with immaculate white feet, tan ears and a glossy black body trotting in the door.
Sierra, a certified therapy dog whose official Roswell Park ID card is clipped to the pink leash held by David Marowski, is in the building. Marowski and his wife, Dorothy "Dobie," who live in Olean, have driven nearly two hours for one of the beagle's twice-monthly visits to Roswell Park.
Sierra, who is adorable from her mobile black nose to the bright white tip of her elevated tail, threads her way through the people. In front of the information desk, she picks out Wil Greenfield, who has driven four hours from Theresa, N.Y., near Watertown. She sniffs his pant leg, then lifts her face to him. He reaches down to stroke her velvety ears.
"I love dogs," says Greenfield, who owns a black Lab named Good Girl and four cats. "The last time I was here I saw a goldendoodle."
Two years ago, Dobie Marowski was at Roswell Park, but not as part of a therapy dog team brightening people's day. Her breast cancer was treated with surgery and chemotherapy at Roswell Park, then with radiation in Olean. Today, she is not just well, she says, "I am awesome," and she looks it.
Sierra and David Marowski are one of about a dozen therapy dog teams volunteering at Roswell Park, where the program started in 2006.
While Sierra is good at the standard therapy dog activities, approaching people with a soft look and sitting quietly to be petted, David also taught her several tricks.
Like many dogs, she shakes hands, touches an upheld hand with a paw in a high-five, and obeys hand signals to sit and lie down. But Sierra also stands up on her hind legs, and will roll over on command. Most interesting, she has somehow modified the well-known beagle yodel into a two- or three-syllable "Wooo-ooo" that can sound like "Hello" or even "I love you."
Marowski can't take all the credit for Sierra's vocabulary. He started visiting senior homes with her after he retired nearly three years ago from his job as a mechanic for the City of Olean. He had taught Sierra to woo-woo "Hello," then at one home, a woman named Marie expanded Sierra's vocabulary.
"Some people just have the right voice for Sierra," says David. "When she's with Marie, she says something that sounds like 'I love you,' and 'Mama.' "
"David will ask her to say, 'I love you,' and she'll go 'Woo-woo,' and David will say, 'No, three syllables,' so then she goes, 'Wooo-woo-wooo,'" says Dobie Marowski.
Sierra is particularly attracted to children, and is permitted to join an ill child in bed if invited, "You should see her with the children," she says. "It's precious."
David Marowski grew up with beagles, and the couple got their first dog, a beagle-terrier mix, as a wedding gift. Reverend, given that name by David's father because he joined the family on a Sunday, was the first in a long line of dogs that were just pets.
When their previous dog died more than five years ago, at first Dobie said, "no more dogs." That stance lasted two weeks. When spring of 2008 rolled around, they drove to Corry, Pa., to buy a beagle pup from a man who owned Sierra's parents.
"We wanted a female, and there were two that really caught my eye, and David said, 'You pick out the one you want,' " says Dobie. "The rest of the puppies were picking on her, she wasn't the runt or anything but they were picking on her. So I wanted her."
Dobie also named the pup. "She got to name the dogs and I got to name the kids," says David, referring to son David and daughter Laura, both adults.
At first, Sierra was just a pet. But after David retired, he began to take her to a local senior home that allowed visits from friendly dogs. Soon, he met a woman there with a certified therapy dog who encouraged him to seek certification for Sierra, which would open many more doors for the person-canine team.
David was attending the training classes with Sierra while Dobie was having her chemo treatments. The training "took my mind off things a bit," says David. First the beagle earned her Canine Good Citizenship certification, which requires a dog to accept strangers without a fuss, obey simple commands, ignore distractions and walk nicely on a loose leash. The therapy dog test also requires dogs to stay calm around people using canes, crutches and wheelchairs, limping, coughing or speaking loudly, and to allow a stranger to handle and pet them. When Sierra took her qualifying test, administered for Therapy Dogs International, she "passed with flying colors," says David. "Some dogs are good with kids, some with older people, but Sierra is good in all venues."
In October 2011, they started volunteering at Roswell Park.
David and Sierra keep a busy schedule, making at least one therapy dog visit each weekday. In addition to two trips a month to Roswell Park, they make visits at several senior residences, a local hospital, a radiation center and the Bolivar Free Library, where children read to Sierra every Thursday. "This is David's new job, working with Sierra," says Dobie.
"We get the weekends off," says David. "It's only two hours a day, most of the time. The long one is the ride up to Buffalo and the ride back."
They have the trip to and from Roswell Park – which takes between 90 minutes and two hours each way, depending on traffic and the weather – planned out, stopping about halfway for a break for Sierra. Although the trip takes twice as long as the shift they are allowed to volunteer in the hospital, they are big fans of Roswell Park and have made a commitment to continue.
"I remember the first time we walked in there, I was just so overwhelmed," says Dobie.
"Everybody at Roswell is just awesome, from the doctors to the janitorial people, everybody is so up," says Dobie. "I'm glad we're part of that, to give back. ... When David has Sierra say hello, people just beam, and so many people have thanked us even if they spend just two or three minutes with her."
Amy Simeister of Buffalo, sitting in a waiting area at Roswell Park with a family member, appreciated seeing the adorable beagle and watching her do some tricks in return for tiny treats.
"We love all animals and this just helps pass the time when you have to be here all day," she said.
As for Sierra, she makes her wishes known too. At Roswell Park and the other places they visit, "She usually pulls at the leash to go in," says David.
To volunteer at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, dogs must be certified by either Pet Partners or Therapy Dogs International, and the teams must be accepted through Roswell's Volunteer Services program. To apply, complete the online form at roswellpark.org/volunteer, or call 845-5708 to apply or request more information.

A plan for Arkansas to use federal Medicaid money buy private insurance for low-income residents has won final legislative approval.
The House Wednesday night passed the final piece of the package after the Senate reached the three-fourths majority needed on a budget bill. Backers secured enough Republican votes by amending the package to give the state more flexibility.
The proposal heads to Gov. Mike Beebe, who promoted the plan with some Republican leaders as an alternative to expanding the state's Medicaid program under the federal health care law.
Federal officials have endorsed the concept but have not granted final permission.
Under the plan, Arkansas would accept money intended for Medicaid expansion under the federal health care law and instead buy private insurance for 250,000 eligible low-income residents.

Evidence hearing set for woman arrested in connection with UNH student death
Hearing set for next Wednesday
The 19-year-old woman accused of lying about her whereabouts the day a University of New Hampshire student was killed is due back in court Wednesday.
Kathryn McDonough of Portsmouth remains in custody on charges related to the disappearance and death of 19-year-old UNH sophomore Elizabeth Marriott of Westborough, Mass.
Prosecutors say McDonough lied when she said she and 30-year-old Seth Mazzaglia of Dover had no contact with Marriott on Oct. 9, the day she disappeared.
Prosecuters say Mazzaglia, who is charged with second-degree murder, suffocated or strangled Marriott.
McDonough has been in custody since her arrest Christmas Eve. She's due in Portsmouth District Court Wednesday for a hearing on charges of conspiracy and hindering apprehension.
Her lawyer says he and McDonough haven't decided whether to waive the hearing.

A 17-year-old Nevada Union High School student was recovering at home after being hit in the crosswalk of Ridge Road on Wednesday afternoon after school.
The accident that sent Luke Brown crashing into the windshield and then catapulting through the air over the car has prompted an outpouring of concern about safety issues on the busy road fronting the campus.
Brown was transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, treated and released.
The identity of the female driver has not been released and the accident remains under investigation.
He is the second NU student struck on Ridge Road in the last four months. Greg Trujillo was seriously injured while in a crosswalk at about 6 p.m. Dec. 9.
"He was in a coma for a week," said Andrea Racko, whose daughter, Karly Pruett, was with Trujillo at the time of the accident. "He's still recovering."
Pruett and Trujillo were walking back from Briar Patch market to the Baptist Church parking lot across the street, Racko said.
Because it was getting dark, they hit the button that lights up the flashing strips on the crosswalk, she said.
"They were almost all the way across the street" when Trujillo was hit by a vehicle and thrown 40 feet, Racko said.
"The car missed (Karly) by a few inches," she said, adding Pruett remains traumatized to the point where she is "hardly able to cross the street at night."
Trujillo doesn't remember the accident, Racko said.
He was transported to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and then air-lifted to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. He later spent time recuperating in a brain trauma center in San Francisco, and is still undergoing occupational therapy.
Racko called for an investigation into the history of pedestrian injuries on Ridge Road.
"What steps came into play for them to put a crosswalk there?" she said. "Why no stop sign, why no light? It's obviously a chronic problem."
Former Grass Valley city council member Chauncey Poston, who sat on the city's traffic safety committee for six years, could not recall any instances of people being hit on the stretch of road during his tenure.
"The bigger problem was parking and lack of visibility," he said. "We had to do a lot of work in terms of speeding and parking out of the high school."
Grass Valley Police Capt. Dave Remillard said five vehicle-versus-pedestrian accidents were reported within city limits in 2010, with three so far this year.
He could recall only two fatalities in 20 years, a couple struck on South Auburn and Race streets.
"It's a school zone and people need to know there's a lot of traffic, and take that into consideration," he said.
Thursday afternoon, Principal Marty Mathiesen was escorting students across the street.
He did not return a call for comment.
Grass Valley City Councilman Dan Miller - an alternate on the city's traffic safety committee - noted that Grass Valley Police and Nevada County Sheriff's deputies often patrol the area when school lets out.
"There is a crosswalk and flashing lights," Miller said. "You can't monitor everybody in a car ... I don't know what the remedy would be."

The little town has much to offer by way of old and new: The world-famous Tell monument still reminds us of the story of Switzerland's origin. The reputation of the multifaceted, traditional cultural offerings, ranging from the Tell play to the modern music festifal "Alpentöne" (Alpine Sounds), has spread far beyond Uri's borders. The Eggberge sun-terrace (1,400 meters above sea level), which is part of Altdorf, is a sought-after excursion destination in summer as well as in winter.
The hiking and bicycling paradise around Altdorf has something for everyone: Hikers embark on one of the numerous mountain tours, conquer the peaks and discover the luscious green Alps. Many Alpine farms invite hikers to partake of food and drink. Many enjoy a glass of fresh mountain milk or the famous Uri Alpine Cheese.

Crossroads Pregnancy Center is one of the agencies that benefits from working with the United Way. Executive Director Cindy Mansberger explained how partnering with the United Way has served the Crossroads Pregnancy Center:
"Crossroads Pregnancy Center provides Christ centered counseling and educational services to those with needs related to unplanned pregnancies. We have a locations in Mifflin County, Juniata County and Huntingdon County.
"United Way dollars fund the Bridges Program, one of our most attended programs. Clients of Crossroads who participate in this free program attend classes on various topics about pregnancy, parenting and preparing to raise children in a safe and loving environment. Class credits are then exchanged for baby care items such as cribs, car seats, diapers, baby clothing, bottles, blankets, etc.
"We call this program an 'earn while you learn' process. Our clients then feel more confident about their parenting skills and have the satisfaction of knowing they have accomplished steps to become a responsible parent. So far this year, Crossroads has served 189 individuals in Mifflin-Juniata County with our services.
"Crossroads values the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata county because they are helping us meet the needs in our community. The support we receive helps our Bridges Program. Please consider giving to the Mifflin-Juniata United Way. With your donations, you are making a difference in your community."

Discord at the Peace Bridge escalated Saturday as two state lawmakers said they want the Peace Bridge Authority dissolved so New York State can make decisions about what happens on this side of the span – independent of the Canadian government.
State Sen. Mark Grisanti and Assemblyman Sean Ryan said the authority does not serve the interests of Western New Yorkers and that decisions regarding the U.S. side should be made locally.
The lawmakers plan to introduce the legislation this week in Albany.
Government officials with Transport Canada declined to comment, saying they had not seen a copy of the proposal.
But in a statement, they pointed out that the authority cannot be disbanded unilaterally by either New York or Canada.
They are upset with last week's statement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo that he is frustrated with the delays in making improvements on the American plaza and other improvements.
The governor's office had no comment Saturday on the announcement from Grisanti and Ryan.
If the two lawmakers succeed in dissolving the authority, management of the bridge would be taken over by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, they said.
"We won't create a new authority. Under law, control [of the Peace Bridge] would revert to NFTA," said Ryan, a South Buffalo Democrat. "NFTA is in the transportation business."
The NFTA then would create an entity to operate the Peace Bridge, similar to how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates New York City's subways, buses and railroads and serves as a bridge and tunnel authority.
Saturday's announcement follows an unsuccessful attempt Friday by the U.S. delegation to the binational panel to fire General Manager Ron Rienas – a Canadian. The Cuomo administration contends that Canadian members of the authority are slowing the pace of Peace Bridge projects on the Buffalo side of the bridge.
Asked if Cuomo is aware of the Grisanti-Ryan proposal, Howard Glaser, a top Cuomo aide, responded by email: "We have not seen the proposal but will evaluate the legislation."
Under state law, the Peace Bridge Authority ceases to exist in 2020 or when its bonds are paid off.
The authority has $20 million in outstanding debt and $40 million in the bank, enough to "pay off debts and pay its obligations," Ryan said.
Another concern for the legislators is the makeup of the authority board. The minister of transportation in Ottawa appoints five members to the panel. The U.S. delegation, however, includes three members appointed by the governor, one by the NFTA and one by the attorney general.
"They're not a voting bloc," Ryan said.
As a result, the Peace Bridge Authority has spent about $100 million in beautification efforts over the past 20 years on the Canadian side, while less than $20 million has been spent over the same period on the U.S. side.
"Public authorities are too often arrogant, unaccountable and lack transparency. The PBA is all of the above, and it is time that we shut down this dysfunctional authority," said Grisanti, a Tonawanda Republican, who pointed to the Blue Water Bridge as an example of what could be.
The bridge, which spans the St. Clair River, links Port Huron, Mich., with Ontario. The Canadian government is in charge of its side, while the Michigan Department of Transportation manages the U.S. side.
Republican Sen. George Maziarz, who attended Saturday's news conference, also supports the proposal.

Jessica Szohr Bakes with Grandma
"We all sit around the table and work while listening to Christmas music," says the Gossip Girl star, 25. "It's so much fun!" Even if there's a strict no-tasting policy during the annual bake fest. "If everybody got to eat, there would be no cookies!" adds Karen, 65.
Though Szohr admits she's still an amateur baker, she's learning: "I have to carry on this tradition or Christmas wouldn't be the same."
Silver Dollar CookiesMakes 36 cookies
1 cup butter
4 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
½ cup finely ground almonds
Powdered sugar for sprinkling

Bryon J. McIntyre sees himself as an agent for change in the Buffalo Public Schools.
The lifelong city resident credits education with helping him pull his life together after he admittedly spent his late teenage and early adult years in a destructive haze of drugs and alcohol.
"Education was my deliverance. Education is the vehicle to come out of whatever bondage you're in. It doesn't guarantee you a job, but it guarantees you an opportunity," McIntyre said.
McIntyre, 50, wants to increase the ranks of students for whom education can lead to a brighter future. Doing so, he says, depends on increasing the number of high school graduates, including the numbers of African-American and Latino males who, he frequently notes, drop out at a rate of more than 70 percent.
The retired firefighter, who holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from SUNY Buffalo State, is first vice president of the District Parent Coordinating Council and a former president of the Performing Arts Parent-Teacher Organization. To add a Board of Education seat to that resumé will mean that the McKinley High School graduate will have to unseat incumbent Mary Ruth Kapsiak, the current board president.
He was also a substitute teacher in the district for over eight years, until about two years ago, an experience he contends puts him more in touch with the daily problems of parents, faculty, students and administrators.
"In the years since [Kapsiak] has been there, has the Central District improved? Has the district improved? No. Is the community more informed about what needs to be done, what types of support are needed? No.
"I have an investment in the system. I don't have employees in the system, I have children, McIntyre said, referring to three of his children who attend public school – Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts, Frederick Law Olmsted School 156 and Stanley G. Falk School, as well as Health Science Charter School.
McIntyre, a member of the district's Title I Committee, the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee and a parent advocate at suspension hearings, is a past vice president of Citizen Action, though the group is endorsing his opponent.
He is a strong believer in reinstating the residency rule for teachers. Only two firefighters at his firehouse lived in the city, which he believed contributed to a "different mindset and cultural disconnect."
He favors a return to neighborhood schools to encourage parent participation and erase inequities he says are perpetuated by a lack of transportation available to people of limited financial means. McIntyre also looks favorably on charter schools, a reversal of the position he took when he was an active member of Citizen Action.
"I thought charter schools were the devil. Well, I have a child in Buffalo Health Sciences Charter, in the 10th grade. If Bozo the Clown could teach my children, I would have Bozo the Clown. It's every parent's right to have a choice, and to place their child where they think their child will best thrive," McIntyre said.
He is also highly supportive of Superintendent Pamela C. Brown, whom he praises for being responsive to parents and for acting with transparency.
"I like to refer to Dr. Brown as the 'Condoleezza Rice of education,' because Condoleezza was, in my opinion, highly intelligent and was about her business. And that's what I think the superintendent is," McIntyre said. "At the end of her meetings, problems are solved or on their way to a rational solution, which we haven't had in quite some time, in my opinion."
He believes that board rules and regulations are often overlooked and that Title I dollars to help low-achieving students have been misused. The School Board, he says, has fallen short on the job.
"I'm very dissatisfied with the job it's done this far. I believe the intentions are there, but there is a certain disconnect," McIntyre said. "I know Buffalo is on the rise, and with what we have going on, we have to have our children educated."
McIntyre said he expected to pay for his campaign out-of-pocket, while Kapsiak, his opponent, is receiving contributions from the Buffalo Teachers Federation.

quote: dirt[y] Mexican
quote: I'm pretty unpopular with my viewpoint but here goes...
quote: We all immigrated unless you are a native American. Some will argue, "but, we all immigrated legally," and this would be correct. Most of us did. The majority came through New York and were processed through the system like everyone else.
quote: But, what I do know, is many of them bust their tails like any other American trying to make a better life for themselves.
quote: I guess, but doesn't "trying to make a better life" include going through the formality of getting U.S. citizenship, opening up bank accounts/credit cards (and not only paying for things with cash) to build credit (to qualify for a car loan or mortgage), becoming fluent in English, and pushing yourself academically & professionally up the career ladder to provide more for your children?
quote: This is the amnesty argument: We can't get rid of them so let's let them all stay and legalize it. This is an incentive that encourages illegal immigration.
quote: Amnesty is never a one time thing. The US will get a flood of illegal immigrants when word gets out that it's coming.
quote: Why not reduce the dollars we spend overseas and spend some getting Mexico in line since it impacts the US?
quote: Whole cities are routinely massacred in Mexico. It's horrifying.
quote: This is why you don't announce it prior to passing. You just do it.
quote: Now my friend's new wife is attempting to set me up with her many single friends from abroad but it's not gonna' happen as I fancy American girls!
quote: So when I read things like today with Jan Brewer denying younger immigrants public things like driver's licenses just because they've taken the step to become documented, I have to finally stand up and say enough is enough!
quote: But, I don't loathe them. Not at all.
quote: but all of them are highly intelligent and have worked hard in life. So have all the Mexicans I've met.
quote: Your post is just one big emotional mush-fest. I'm not falling for that crap, you'll have to do a lot better than that to convince me our borders should just be wide open.
quote: Dude if an illegal can get a photo ID, that means he can now vote. Hello? You want non-citizens being able to drive...wow, that's just brilliant.
quote: Do you agree that this is a nation of laws and we should abide by them and enforce them? I'm sick of all this Jan Brewer hate, it's ridiculous.
quote: It's not about hate, or racism. You're just buying into the hype.
quote: Unless you live in Arizona and pay taxes there, you frankly have no right to tell them they should ignore their problems because you said so.
quote: Or does equality not mean anything to you?
quote: Umm, you do know you have to be a legal citizen to vote, right? (I know you do)
quote: I thought you kept up on this stuff? With a drivers license number, and the stupidly easy to get "temporary" Social Security numbers given out to illegals, they can now "legally" vote.
quote: Jan is doing what our politicians swear an oath to defend, the Constitution. Those visas are illegal. Amnesty is illegal. The "Dream Act" is illegal. And States are supposed to have sovereign rights damnit.
quote: You know there's only a finite number of people this country can support.
quote: We cannot allow a President to executive order his way to immigration "reform".
quote: This is why I'm for requiring people provide either a copy of their birth certificate or certificate of naturalization (both of which can be cross-referenced with government held databases) in order to register to vote.
quote: Well, yes, I totally agree States are supposed to have sovereign rights. However, when immigration is concerned, I do have to point out it is a touchy subject. The Federal Government is supposed to handle interstate issues, States intrastate.
quote: I dislike Obama quite a bit--but, he, like Bush before him, realized some form of immigration reform was needed. See above for how it should be divided.
quote: I know I sound angry and ranting, and I'm sorry.
quote: I disagree with both. We need enforcement, whatever the costs, whatever it takes. If we need to fully militarize our southern border, I'm all for it. If we need to build a Berlin wall here, so be it.
quote: He didn't just do it anyway when Amnesty for Illegals was shot down, he gave the people their say.

April 5, 2010 - A classified military video is posted by WikiLeaks. It shows a U.S. Apache helicopter firing on and killing two journalists and a number of Iraqi civilians in 2007. The military claimed that the helicopter crew believed the targets were armed insurgents, not civilians.
May 2010 - The U.S. military detains Pfc. Bradley Manning for allegedly leaking U.S. combat video, including the U.S. helicopter gunship attack posted on WikiLeaks, and classified State Department records. Manning was turned in by Adrian Lamo, a former hacker, who Manning confided in about leaking the classified records.
July 6, 2010 - The U.S. military announces it has charged Manning with violating army regulations by transferring classified information to a personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified computer system and of violating federal laws of governing the handling of classified information.
July 25, 2010 - WikiLeaks posts more than 90,000 classified documents relating to the Afghanistan war in what has been called the biggest leak since the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War. The documents are divided into more than 100 categories and touch on everything from the hunt for Osama bin Laden to Afghan civilian deaths resulting from U.S. military actions.
October 22, 2010 - WikiLeaks publishes nearly 400,000 classified military documents from the Iraq war, providing a new picture of how many Iraqi civilians have been killed, the role that Iran has played in supporting Iraqi militants and many accounts of abuse by Iraqi's army and police.

Among the objections is that Almanza had a conflict of interest with his civilian job with the Justice Department, which is investigating WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
December 18, 2011 - Army investigator Special Agent David Shaver testifies that a search of military computers used by Pfc. Bradley Manning in Iraq revealed that he had downloaded the same secret documents and videos that were released online by WikiLeaks.

The authenticity of the documents could not be independently confirmed.
April 24, 2012 - Manning appears in court before judge Col. Denise Lind to push for all charges against him to be dropped. His lawyers filed two motions the previous week - one pushes for all charges against Manning to be dismissed. If that fails, the second pushes for some charges to be dropped.

August 21, 2013 - A military judge sentences Manning to 35 years -- less than the 60 prosecutors sought and far shorter than the 90 he could have received -- minus credit for the about three and a half years he's already been behind bars.
August 22, 2013 - Through a statement read on NBC's Today show, Manning announces he wants to live life as a woman, and wants to known by his new identity, Chelsea Manning.
