Free Hicks to be fair: US lawyer
Page Tools
David Hicks's US military lawyer, Major Michael Mori, says his client is "a political pawn" facing an unfair trial by military commission at Guantanamo Bay while his fellow Australian, Mamdouh Habib, and four British detainees will be sent home.
Major Mori called for Hicks's immediate repatriation to Australia following the decision by the US and Australian governments to release Mr Habib, who has been held at the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay without charges for more than two years.
The decision leaves Hicks as the only Australian detainee at Guantanamo Bay.
Major Mori said the failure to release Hicks was extraordinary given that one of the British detainees now being sent home was accused of acts far more serious than the charges against Hicks, including preparing possible terrorist attacks against Jewish organisations in New York.
"He is being released but David Hicks will sit in Guantanamo Bay," Major Mori said. "It indicates how far the unfair system has progressed."
Hicks is slated to be tried by a special US military commission on charges of war crimes in Afghanistan, including attempted murder.
The military commission has been denounced by US human rights lawyers and by the British Government as deeply flawed, and it is under challenge in the US courts.
The British Government has fought attempts by the US to have any of its citizens tried by the military commissions and has successfully won the release of its nationals, including the latest four.
They could be in London by the end of the month, where they are widely expected to be freed without charge.
Announcing an agreement to secure the four men's repatriation, the British Home Secretary, Jack Straw, said British police would consider whether they could be charged under the British Terrorism Act of 2000 before releasing them.
But it is believed the more likely outcome is a sustained period of surveillance of the released detainees, two of who have already claimed they suffered maltreatment and torture while held at Guantanamo Bay.
US authorities said they had secured undertakings from the British and Australian governments that they would monitor the activities of their citizens who had been released from Guantanamo Bay.
Moazzam Begg and Martin Mubanga, both of whom have complained about abuse in correspondence with their families, will be transported back to Britain along with their countrymen Feroz Abbasi and Richard Belmar in the recently announced deal.
Their return comes almost a year after the release of five other British detainees, who were questioned for only a number of hours and then released after arriving home last March from a lengthy period of detention at Guantanamo Bay.
However, the five former detainees are said to be watched 24 hours a day.
The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, set off a firestorm late last year when he said that some of those who had returned to Britain from Guantanamo Bay had been "causing difficulties again", an allegation that was quickly rejected by their lawyers.
Gareth Pierce, representing Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Ruhal Ahmed, told London's Daily Telegraph her clients had led "entirely law-abiding existences trying to rebuild their lives" since their release.
In October, Messrs Iqbal, Rasul and Ahmed and another former Guantanamo Bay inmate, Jamal al-Harith, brought legal action in the US, alleging they were tortured and claiming damages of $US10 million ($13.4 million).
Their case was filed in the Federal District Court in Washington. The US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, was named as a defendant.

|Shawn Thornton undergoing evaluation, update expected Friday
|02.01.13 at 12:35 am ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien said an update on Shawn Thornton is expected on Friday after the Bruins enforcer received a full evaluation Thursday night.
Thornton was handed a rare beating in a bout with Buffalo's John Scott three minutes into a 7-4 loss to the Sabres Thursday night at TD Garden.
After serving his five-minute fighting major in the penalty box, Thornton skated across the ice and immediately to the Bruins dressing room. He did not return.
"We'll know more [Friday]," Julien said immediately after the game. "He's being evaluated, until we get a definite answer, nothing more."
Julien said Thornton's loss in the fight had little to do with his team's defenseless loss to the Sabres, a game in which they allowed seven goals in the final two periods.
"I mean you know that's just part of the game, and you know Scott did his job that his job for them and Shawn did his job for us," Julien said. "And those things happen you win some you lose some. But at the same time I don't think it deflated our team. We were in the lead 3-1 there half way through the second so it didn't do anything in that way. I think again you know, we keep looking for other reasons than the one I gave you guys ' we were just terrible defensively. And you know the other part is – give them credit they played a really good game tonight. And I'm not saying that just to say, they really did play a good solid game tonight and they were the better team at the end of the night."
"I think it's what happens, it's a square-off between the two tough guys in the building," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "Somebody said they were talking in warm-ups, I didn't really anticipate what was going to happen. I think John has provided us some team toughness, and it's spilled off onto other guys. He did a nice job for us and I thought the rest of the game was just a hard fought game."
As for the Bruins' players, they reacted in different ways to the Thornton loss.
"He's been a great team guy here for the last six years, and he takes a lot of pride in what he does, sticking up for himself and his teammates," Milan Lucic said. "He's a great team guy, and he's an important person to this hockey club. It was unfortunate that he missed the rest of the game after that, but knowing him, he's a tough guy and he'll try to get back as soon as he can."
"I wasn't too sure if Thorty was gonna fight him, but that's the type of guy he is, make sure no one else had to do the job and you know, did it," added Tyler Seguin. "I came in and saw him, he looked like he was doing fine.
"Obviously Thorty can fight and he's a tough guy, but you've still got to look at that Scott guy, he's not a small guy and Thorty has a ton of passion, and will do anything it takes for this team. Whether it's fighting a giant just to get the boys going, win or lose, that's what he's gonna do."
|Brad Marchand: 'Big shot' Lindy Ruff 'pretty disrespectful' for calling late timeout
|01.31.13 at 10:29 pm ET
Brad Marchand wasn't amused when Sabres coach Lindy Ruff called a timeout with 14 seconds remaining in a 7-4 Sabres win over the Bruins. Ruff told reporters after the game that the timeout was called because Bruins' enforcer Lane MacDermid was on the ice against Buffalo's skill players, but Marchand said he got the sense that Ruff may have been called it to pour salt on the wound of Boston's loss.
"He wants to be a big shot, and not the best play to do," Marchand said after the game. "Pretty disrespectful. If he wants to be like that, that's fine. We just have to move on."
Claude Julien was more diplomatic in addressing the timeout, though he insisted that the Bruins didn't give Ruff any reason to call it.
"I don't know why he took it," Julien said. "I really don't know, but he's entitled to it, so I just played along with it. He might have though that something was going to happen, which it wasn't, but that's probably for him to answer. I don't know."

|Injured Lindy Ruff won't coach Sabres Wednesday
|02.08.12 at 12:48 pm ET
BUFFALO — The Sabres' will be without an important piece Wednesday night against the Bruins, and it isn't anyone who shows up on the stat sheet.
Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff, who broke three ribs earlier this week in a collision with defenseman Jordan Leopold, will not be behind the bench when the teams meet Wednesday at First Niagara center. In place of Ruff, assistant coach James Patrick will call the shots from behind the Buffalo bench.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said the hit shows the potential danger that coaches face in practices, and said that coaches wearing helmets would be logical, though he wouldn't want to wear one.
"I guess it just goes to show there is a risk in our job as well as those players have, especially in practice," Julien said. "I've had a few collisions with players. It happens. That's why you've got to be ready all the time. When you see it, you can brace yourself, but when you don't, it can be a tough fall. We don't have that much protection underneath that sweat suit, except for the extra weight we carry."
The Sabres will also be without forward Thomas Vanek, who is dealing with an upper-body injury. Vanek participated in Wednesday's morning skate, but Patrick said after the skate that Vanek would not play.
|Lindy Ruff: Lack of response 'won't happen again'
|11.23.11 at 3:22 pm ET
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff told reporters after Wednesday's morning skate that the Sabres are more focused on playing a "hard game" than on providing an overdue response to Milan Lucic's hit on goaltender Ryan Miller earlier this month.
Asked if retaliation was on the Sabres' minds, Ruff replied, "I don't think [NHL disciplinarian Brendan] Shanahan would like to hear that."
Though Ruff was brief with his answers, he did indicate that if something similar were to happen, he would expect more of a response from his team. Lucic hit Miller in the first period on Nov. 12, leaving the goaltender with a concussion.
"I'll answer the question one more time," Ruff said. "We were disappointed in our response, and that won't happen again."
The Bruins have won nine games in a row, and now have as many points (24) as the Sabres. With both teams two points behind the Maple Leafs and focused on moving up, Ruff steered away from talk of retaliation and said he's more concerned with his team coming out hard.
"We have to play a real hard game," he said. "That would be the message tonight."
|Vanek to be game-time decision
|04.21.10 at 2:09 pm ET
Injured Sabres forward Thomas Vanek participated in Buffalo's morning skate prior to Game 4 against the Bruins at TD Garden on Wednesday night. Vanek was injured in Game 2 at HSBC Arena after taking a slash to his right knee from Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk and sliding into the end boards. He has been seen wearing a boot on his left leg, and coach Lindy Ruff has not given any significant updates on his leading scorer's status or availability. Vanek told reporters Tuesday that he would try to play in Game 4 and Ruff said on Wednesday that he would be a game-time decision.
"That will be a game-time decision on whether he plays. We're just trying to get him a little extra ice time to see what he looks like," Ruff said.
Vanek was not available to the media but was overheard talking to an assistant coach on the bench saying "I just don't want to do anything to make it worse" shortly after the Sabres' workout had ended.
Ruff also said that forward Matt Ellis would not play on Wednesday after suffering a broken nose and just generally being banged up after a second-period Boychuk hit in Game 3. Cody McCormick was recalled from AHL Portland and will skate in Game 4.
"Because he is playing very well. He is a guy that has played 16-20 minutes a game down there [Portland]," Ruff said. "He is a big body that can get to the front of the net. I think he can win battles down low. Without [Jochen] Hecht, without Vanek, without some bigger bodies, some of the battles have gone the other way and I think a big guy that will be able to win some battles will be important for us. He is thought very highly of by Portland, and if we can get 16-17 minutes out of him, I think he will be able to bring us a lot tonight."
That would be a lot of minutes considering that Ellis averaged 10:13 in Game 1 and 2 before Boychuk's hit limited him to sporadic minutes for the rest of Game 3. McCormick is a veteran of 190 NHL games, all with Colorado from 2003-09, and signed with the Sabres last summer and spent the entire season with the Pirates. He recorded 12 goals and 17 assists with Portland and a team-high 168 penalty minutes. For his NHL career, the forward has 30 points and 250 penalty minutes.
It will be interesting to see exactly what type of role Ruff has McCormick play Wednesday evening, either as an agitator to get under the Bruins' collective skin or more as a forward to win battles in front of the net.
|Sabres staring down the barrel
|04.20.10 at 2:59 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Sabres took to the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Tuesday looking for a bit of a rebound day after taking two consecutive tough losses to the Bruins in their quarterfinal Stanley Cup playoff series. Boston leads 2 to 1 heading into Wednesday's Game 4 and the Sabres know that they need to start finishing chances, either on the power play or in front of the net, if the can hold the Bruins off and return to Buffalo for Game 5 with the series tied.
"It is not a must win, no. It is a must play well though. Must compete hard and must play hard," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said.
All registered healthy Sabres took part in Tuesday's practice with the notable exception of Matt Ellis, who took a hit from the Bruins' Johnny Boychuk in the second period of Game 3 that busted the forwards nose and sent him wobbling to the bench. Ruff said he gave Ellis a maintenance day on Tuesday and is pretty sure that the wing will be able to play in Game 4 but if he is not the Sabres would have to call a player up from AHL Portland.
"It is playoff hockey," forward Matt Ellis said. "Obviously things have been pretty tight and there are things at the end of each night where you take a look at and reevaluate. We did that today and will be ready to go tomorrow."
Part of Buffalo's woes have been the inability to finish, the great oxymoron in this series as those issues have typically been associated with the Bruins throughout the year. Ruff was asked about how Paul Gaustad (12 goals, 10 assists through regular season, minus-two and four penalty minutes in the playoffs) has been in creating screens in front of the net, a place where Buffalo will have to look to score goals without their top threat Thomas Vanek.
"One area where we must remain strong is try to hold the front. Try to hold that area and try to get those second opportunities and that is where he has to use his big body," Ruff said. "To be honest, no. I think he can play bigger, he can be stronger and I think that if you asked him he would say the same thing."
But with no goals through 12 power play chances and only six goals through three games, Ruff knows that everybody on the team will have to step up. No single player is immune from criticism as long as the Sabres trail Boston in the series.
"I think any time you are down in a series, it applies to everybody," Ruff said. "Don't finish the game and wish you did something."
— Ruff said there is no update on Vanek and at this point he will probably keep mum until Vanek shows up on the ice and he is forced to answer questions on the forwards health. He was seen in a walking boot in Wilmington and said that he has not given up on playing in Game 4. Jochen Hecht, who had finger surgery late in the season, did not skate either and was seen leaving Ristuccia with a cast on his hand.
On the Bruins end of things, the team seems loose and know that they are playing within Julien's system and that if they compete the results will take care of themselves. All normal skaters participated in the practice and forward Marc Savard was worked out by trainer John Whitesides before the team workout.
Here is the Sabres practice participation by sweater color:
White: Tyler Ennis, Drew Stafford, Tim Connolly
Red: Jason Pominville, Derek Roy, Tim Kennedy
Grey: Paul Gaustad, Michael Grier, Raffi Torres
Yellow: Patrick Kaleta, Adam Mair, Chris Butler
Defensemen: Steve Montador, Toni Lydman, Tyler Myers, Henrik Tallinder, Andrej Sekera, Craig Rivet
Goaltenders: Patrick Lalime, Ryan Miller
|Chara and his pest
|04.19.10 at 2:01 pm ET
There is no doubt that the Bruins captain Zdeno Chara can be a dominating player. He logs big minutes, neutralizes big forwards and, in the case of Game 2 against the Sabres, scores big goals. Everything about Chara is big. So, how do you stop that dominating force of nature especially when he is one of the key players in a playoff series?
By putting the smallest guy you can find on him, of course.
On the Buffalo roster that would be rookie Tyler Ennis. The 5-foot-9 forward gives a solid foot to the 6-foot-9 Chara but he is exactly the type of player that gives the towering Slovak blue liner problems — small and especially quick.
"You look at Boston, they got a big game out of Chara, he is one of their special players," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We can't let that happen again. He will try to make it happen, but we can't. Maybe we will put Ennis on him and make sure that he doesn't do it again."
Is the task daunting for a rookie playing his 13th career NHL game, which includes three of the playoff variety (counting Game 3 on Monday night)? Probably a little more than Ennis lets on.
"It has been fun. He is a really good player and a big guy and a strong player," Ennis said. "Myself, I have been trying to use my speed and just battle really hard. He is a lot stronger than I am and stuff and I just need to know when to use my speed and other stuff."
Ennis got a rough hello from Chara in Game 2 when the defenseman checked Ennis hard, depositing him in the Sabres bench. Yet, Ennis has some pretty specific training when it comes to handling guys the size of Chara as he has gone through the minors as both teammates and opponents.
"I think he really is a unique player.I have never really seen a player like that big and that mobile and offensive and can shut you down," Ennis said of Myers. "I played with [Myers] in the World Juniors and stuff and played against him in the Western League so it has helped getting used to that long reach and getting used to really tall players with long reach like that."
The scouting report on Chara is the same for Myers — the quicker, the more of a nuisance.
"I find it with the smaller, really shiftier guys are the hardest to handle for me," Myers said. "[Ennis] can really turn on a dime. It is really more containment for me than being physical. I don't try to kill him in practice. But, a guy like that is very similar to [Martin] St. Louis — very shifty, very skilled. With those smaller skilled guys I think I contain more."
The comparison to St. Louis may prove to be apt. The 20-year-old Ennis was named the American Hockey League Rookie of the Year after putting up 65 points (23 goals, 42 assists) in 69 games with the Portland Pirates this season. He was also selected to the AHL All-Rookie Team. He was recalled on March 27 and played 10 regular-season games with the Sabres with three goals and six assists. He is effectively taking the spot of injured Buffalo forward Jochen Hecht (21 goals, 21 assists in regular season) who will be out indefinitely after having finger surgery last week.
In other Monday morning news, Sabres forward Drew Stafford is expected to return to the lineup and participated in the morning skate at TD Garden. Stafford missed the first two games of the series with the a concussion sustained in the second-to-last game of the regular season.

Mike Gillis walked out of the corner office Wednesday afternoon, dialed up Alain Vigneault, and began: "You know, Alain, sometimes we are not ALL Canucks…"
After seven seasons Vigneault is no longer the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, as Gillis executed his widely anticipated firing on Wednesday. Gillis followed with a press conference, where the theme rotated between, "Everyone's out to get me," and, "This a results oriented business."
The former theme gave us a window into the NHL's most paranoid organization – one that is so far down the "everyone hates us" road it may never turn back. One day the refs don't give the Canucks a fair shake. The next, the other team is diving and the refs are falling for that.
The latter refrain – the "results oriented business" theme – begged the question: "Then why is only the coach getting fired?"
It was a classic case of his general manager doing a lousy job and the coach taking the bullet for it. Face it: Keith Ballard, David Booth, Derek Roy, a Roberto Luongo trade that never transpired…
All of that could have happened to anybody.
We can just hear Gillis addressing Vigneault: "This is a results oriented business Alain, and someone in this conversation has done a poor enough job to get fired this season.
"And since I'm YOUR boss…"
In defence of Gillis, who could have known that Booth's game was irreparably softened after his concussion issues in Florida? Other than, say, some smart scouts, or a GM with an eye for talent?
And who wouldn't have taken on the final five seasons of Ballard's six-year, $25.2 million deal, only to see Ballard eke out just 17 points in 162 Canucks games since his arrival?
Other than, say, some more scouts? Or the same GM?
"There comes a point in time where the message has to change and we have to get better," Gillis said, in firing Vigneault as well as assistant coaches Rick Bowness and Newell Brown. "In this business you have to get results.
"We have a good hockey team, we didn't get results."
They had a pretty good hockey team in Vancouver this past season. It wasn't good enough to win a playoff game, and that's on the GM.
So why have the Canucks gone from Stanley Cup contender to a team whose window has slammed shut with a thud? Drafting and development, that's why.
How does San Jose rebuild on the fly? Well, the Sharks swept Vancouver this spring largely due to a group of younger, drafted players who have risen from beneath Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Danny Boyle to make the Sharks a contender once again.
The Sharks are now Logan Couture's team. The Canucks are still Henrik and Daniel's team.
Detroit? Whenever you search your program to link a name to a number for a player who has caught your eye, that player was inevitably drafted and developed by the Red Wings.
Who are the sub-25, top 6 forwards and top 3 defencemen coming up in the Canuck system? Well, isn't that a fine question?
The last two high level players with legitimate All-Star potential drafted by Vancouver were Cory Schneider and Alex Edler back in 2004. That was two years before Gillis arrived.
We're still waiting on Gillis' crops, or to see if Cody Hodgson stars for Buffalo. But organization-wise you need to look no further than the draft to find where the fall of the Canucks began.
Vancouver has been a 100-point team for the past four years. But it can't find the next level - or even stay at the one it's at, likely - because the feeder system is dry. And the GM's trades have been poor.
Of course, Gillis hears that every day in Vancouver.
"People have been after me since Day 1 here. People have been after Alain since Day 1," he said.
"We all bear responsibility. We've all played a role in this outcome. Everyone will be addressed," he continued. "(Firing the coaches) is the most immediate and logical change you can make, I believe. I also think we can do more as well, in terms of where we're headed … as an organization."
Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Jose are very good clubs. Edmonton will improve steadily, you'd have to believe. Phoenix is always pesky. Those are the teams (plus Calgary) that fill out Vancouver's division, starting next year.
It will take some solid GM'ing to keep the Canucks in the playoffs, as the Sedin twins age. Savvy trades, some exceptional drafting, top flight player development…
Vigneault took the bullet this time around.
If we're still having this conversation two years from now, Mike Gillis won't be so lucky.

D-Cubs' Vogelbach goes opposite field twice
Chicago's No. 12 prospect solving FSL's pitcher-friendly environment
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | July 23, 2014 11:26 PM ET
Dan Vogelbach is well aware that in player development, the process is generally more important than the results. At times this season, the pitcher-friendly Florida State League has tested his faith in that axiom nonetheless.
"It can get in your head for sure when you're hitting balls well and they're not going anywhere," Vogelbach said. "Definitely, early on, it was something that bothered me."
As the season's worn on, the Cubs' No. 12 prospect has put that frustration behind him. He was rewarded Wednesday night with a pair of opposite-field home runs -- and came within inches of a third -- in Class A Advanced Daytona's 6-2 win over Palm Beach.
Both Vogelbach's homers came off fastballs by southpaw Kyle Helisek, giving the left-handed hitter his first homers off a lefty this season -- he entered hitting .188 against same-side pitching this season.
Six of Vogelbach's 11 dingers this season have gone out to left or left-center field. This after Vogelbach hit just one of his 19 roundtrippers in 2013 to left-center.
Vogelbach's made the shift while hitting in the most offensively prohibitive league in the Minors.
"I'm just trying to stay to the middle of the field," he said. "I think I've slowed the game a little more since last year when it comes to that. As you go up, pitchers get better and they throw the ball where they want. They don't miss much. I'm slowing things down."
The two-homer game was Vogelbach's first since he achieved the feat on consecutive days in 2012 with short-season Boise. That barrage came amid a five-game homer streak in which Vogelbach crushed seven.
The 21-year-old's first long ball of the night came in the top of the second. Helisek left a fastball middle-away that Vogelbach jumped on, driving the ball over the left-center fence for his 10th homer of the season. That homer jump-started a four-run inning for Daytona.
Vogelbach followed with his 11th homer the next inning, again sitting back and driving a middle-away heater from Helisek out to left-center.
After a groundout to first and a lineout to second, Vogelbach nearly picked up a third homer in the top of the ninth. Facing right-hander Ronnie Shaban, Vogelbach turned on an inside fastball and crushed it down the right-field line. The ball cleared the Dean Stadium fences, but did so inches wide of the foul pole.
"I thought I got it," Vogelbach said. "But it hooked down the line a bit."
He eventually flew out to right, driving a ball to the warning track that was pulled in by Cardinals outfielder David Popkins.
Similar flyouts might've lured Vogelbach out of his patient approach earlier in the year. With a season's worth of lessons -- and a little confidence from two leisurely strolls around the bases Wednesday -- the Cubs prospect doesn't figure to be shaken much by the result.
"I think it goes back to you have to continue swinging and hitting the ball hard," he said. "Let everything else take care of itself. Just continue to have a good approach and stay to the middle of the field. The stats and everything will take care of itself."
Left-hander Rob Zastryzny picked up the win for Daytona, logging six scoreless innings. The 2012 second-rounder scattered three hits and three walks while striking out three. Zastryzny (2-6) slimmed his ERA to 5.00, including a 3.35 mark over his past 10 starts.
The 22-year-old Edmonton, Alberta native has produced scoreless results in three of his past five outings.
"He's really attacking hitters," Vogelbach said. "He's getting ahead early, just letting his defense work and letting his stuff work. Everybody knows he has three or four good, quality pitches. If he can continue to get ahead like he is, he will have a really successful career."

The Guardian today announced that director John Michael McDonagh is the winner of the Guardian's First Film Award for his debut film The Guard.
The Guard is an independent Irish comedy about a sexist, racist and ill educated garda who takes on a trio of drug-smugglers. The film won plaudits from Sundance and a nod from the Golden Globes with the nomination of its star Brendan Gleeson.
John Michael McDonagh said of his win: "I'm really chuffed about it, to be honest. It's terrific. I read over the longlist and thought there was a lot of very strong films there. Snowtown is one of my favourite films of the year, Attack the Block is probably the best British film of the year – so to come out on top, I'm pretty surprised and very pleased."
Now in their fourth year, the Guardian's First Album and First Film awards recognise new and emerging talent in their respective areas, especially those that may not have initially received the attention they deserved.
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian film critic and awards judge said: "This was an exceptionally good year for debut work and our shortlist was packed with excellent work. It was a supremely difficult choice, but The Guard won our hearts because of its fizzing originality and wit. It's great to see a comedy win this kind of prize."
This year's winner was selected by a judging panel made up of: film editor, Guardian News & Media, Catherine Shoard; editor, theguardian.com/film, Andrew Pulver; Guardian film critic, Peter Bradshaw; Guardian film writer, Xan Brooks and commissioning editor, theguardian.com/film, Henry Barnes.

"Things happen only when they are destined to!"
Nothing could have been more true when it came to my first trek to the Himalayas. It was something I had wanted to do since quite a while but was not able to, something or the other always pushed it back until, the previous week.
That week, I finally managed to push everything else behind and start for my first trek in the Himalayas. I left finally to trek on Hampta pass on 13th last and returned late last night. Though a small trek when compared to what I intend to do in the coming months, it was a fantastic experience nonetheless.
There's a lot of work to be done before I actually start sharing my experiences in a meaningful way but let me be honest and tell you that it's very difficult to wait until I am done with processing the photos and stuff and not write about and share at-least a small glimpse of this wonderful trip until then!… continue reading

Truancy sweep targets east valley parents and students
Agencies remind that going to school is not matter of preference; it is a matter of law
COACHELLA, Calif. - Several parents and two teenagers are in trouble with the law after a truancy sweep in the east valley.
Police and probation officers conducted Wednesday's operation in Thermal, Mecca and Coachella.
Four parents and two juveniles were cited for curfew violations.
Six other teenagers were also taken back to school.
Those cited for violations can expect disciplinary proceedings, fines and or court fees.
The Southern Coachella Valley Community Services District Team, the Coachella Community Action Team, and the Riverside County Probation Office were all involved in the sweep conducted by the Coachella Valley Unified School District.
The Riverside County Sheriffs Department says the operation was designed to locate juvenile students who either failed to report to their assigned campus, or left school campuses without permission.
The department reminded people that going to school is not matter of preference; it is a matter of law.

Gators Must Get Going Without Yeguete
GAINESVILLE- Gator foward Will Yeguete will be out for at least the rest of the regular season, according to head coach Billy Donovan.
Yeguete has bone chips floating around his knee and will undergo surgery this week to clean the joint.
Yeguete is known for his rebounding skills, and the ability to win turnover battles.
He was averaging 6 points and 6 rebounds per game.
The Gators will now move forward with Young, Murphy, Prather, and even freshman Walker, picking up for Yeguete.
Donovan's boys are also recovering from their first conference loss on Tuesday against Arkansas. They now are looking ahead to their game versus Mississippi St. on Saturday.
Donovan and guard Mike Rosario both say that it's the job of the team to only look ahead and focus on the next game.

books The Absolute Dumbest Celebrity Book Deals f p @

Here's a list of the top ten "I can't believe they have a book deal" celebrities. Apparently everyone from the Jersey Shore to Justin Bieber and even Tila Tequila have book deals. Simply unbelievable. See our list of the top 10 Dumbest Celebrity Book Deals. Did you know Paris Hilton has already written two books?! I didn't either. What do these celebrities and reality TV stars have to write about? Read on to find out.
Yes, I know, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, our favorite Jersey Shore reality star we love to hate, has a book deal. Why? Because apparently people need to read a book on how to get abs, groom themselves, and GTL (gym, tan, laundry). ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! If anyone needs to read a book on how to do these simple, everyday, mundane tasks, please do us all a favor and remove yourselves from society promptly. Go be a moron somewhere else, preferably a remote island off the coast of Antarctica.
"Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story." I don't even know what to say besides the obvious. This kid is 16 flippin years old. Who the... What the... Ugh. Now I'm not saying I've never sang along to one of his songs because don't get me wrong, Justin Bieber knows how to deliver a catchy pop song, but a memoir?! At age 16? Preposterous! Hey Bieber kid, that is an unnecessary amount of colons in your title!

I'll admit, I've grown quite fond of this little overcooked and over-seasoned Italian meatball. She amuses me late at night when no one else will. However, I'm willing to bet that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's book is going to suck harder than a hungry, fat, Italian chick and you know what Cristiano Ronaldo says about fat chicks and sucking! And if you don't then crawl out from underneath your little algae ridden rock and google it.
Ugh... Haven't we seen/heard enough of this MILF of a mess Kate Gosselin?! Alright you popped out 8 kids and then was a total bitch on reality TV. Good for you. Now hows abouts you stop being a vain, attention seeking, fame whore and start focusing on being a decent mother?

Wait... What? I thought Tila Tequila died in a horrible juggaloo attack! Oh she's alive and writing books? crap. Her book is titled, "Hooking Up with Tila Tequila: A Guide to Love, Fame, Happiness, Success, and Being the Life of the Party." Are you fuggin sh*tting me?!?! Love?! Fame?! Success?! Life of the party?? So let me guess, to find love you should hookup with 12 different men and women on a reality TV show and contract 12 STD's, for fame you should parade around naked doing raunchy things in online videos, for success you should sing poorly and get pelted with f***s on stage, and in order to be the life of the party you should get really fugged up on drugs and alcohol then procede to take off your top and give blow jobs to anyone who promises you a book deal. So all of that will bring me happiness? Got it. Thanks for your insightful book Tila!
Alright so Tori Spelling has written quite a few books. No surprise there. But now she has moved on to ::drum roll please:: children's books! Well if Madonna can do it then... no scratch that. Just don't do it. For the love of all the innocent children who just want to learn to read please don't.

Talk about riding out your 15 minutes of fame until you get saddle rash! Go away already you delusional, hypocritical, ignorant, fake tittied, beezy. Just because you rehearse your lines a million times before answering questions in a beauty pageant doesn't mean you are actually intelligent enough to write a book. The problem with girls like Carrie Prejean is that as pretty as they may be, when they open their mouths to speak, diarrhea spews out in the form of words.

Review Centre College
Centre draws talented staff and students, and athletics is no different. We have competitive programs. For instance, while i've been at the school many of the programs have been NCAA competitive. I remember attending the Men's basketball game when they hosted the first round of the NCAA tournament. My own program (Women's soccer) has won conference and attended the NCAA tournament every year- including making the Elite 8 and Final 4 two of the three years. In addition, the coaches are involved on campus and with their athletes. Many are mentors or friends to their players, and act as an additional resource. The various programs work together to build up each other's programs through school support campaigns or designing as a team the athletic facility renovations.
I love how interesting all my classes are! The best part is most of my peers feel the same too, so class generally includes participation on part of the students. The professors, of course, are great. They have lots of office hours, and usually try to work with the students- including athletes who have to miss every now and then.
Centre College is awesome. I am so glad I chose to go here. First, a couple negatives: 1) diversity is low. Lots of people from Kentucky, fewer people from out of state 2) Danville is tiny. Not much to do off campus, although there are decent hiking opportunities. A few positives: 1) for a small liberal arts college, the education is excellent. The faculty, all very experienced in their fields (I have yet to have a professor who isn't a doctor. My German teacher lives in Germany periodically, my Chemistry teacher came straight from the industry. Very practical knowledge and connections, even at a general chemistry level) are very accessible and helpful. 2) The community is so, so amazing. Everyone wants to be here and enjoys it, which makes all the difference.

A Game of Thrones: Genesis is a real-time strategy game and acts as a prequel to the novel series A Song of Fire and Ice. During the campaign the player lives through the years -740 to 299.
The player does not build up the settlement, but begins with one - territorial gain is achieved by politics. With the help of ambassadors the player and the AI try to achieve contracts with other cities and rulers. Possible actions include weddings, spying, assassins or secret contract - possibly while another house has an official contract with the partner. However, every action influences the piece meter - when it runs out, war begins. Then the game becomes a traditional real-time strategy game in which units with different advantages and disadvantages fight against each other.

OK, the second part of the title is probably untrue. But hopefully Forrester IS your favorite place for IT service management (ITSM) analysis and opinion.
My colleague Dave Johnson (who is well worth following from a Twitter and blog perspective BTW) wrote an immediate reaction to the BMC announcement yesterday. Of course as analysts we are pre-briefed on such things and having had time to think about the announcement I offer the following somewhat random thoughts and opinions:
Posted by David Johnson on January 30, 2012
BMC has a golden opportunity to take a different track with Numara than it has for past mid-market acquisitions (see Magic Solutions), and it must do so if it hopes to build on this one and drive new revenue for the long haul. Numara enjoys a massive installed base of customers with its Track-It and Footprints product lines in the small and mid-market. They have been hard at work rounding out their portfolio to include Client Management (software management, systems management, and OS management), and other areas. Numara has been on a journey to re-invent itself and has been succeeding. Further, we believe that the culture of the Numara organization and BMC's will align well, as long as Numara is given the autonomy and investment they need to grow their portfolio and momentum in the field.
BMC Will Need Time To Work
Numara customers should expect relatively little change in daily operations for the first few months, as BMC aligns the organizations. If history is a reliable guide, BMC will typically give a larger acquisition such as this the opportunity to remain mostly intact, and inject key people and processes to help align the acquired organization with the BMC culture and ways of doing business. If this holds true for Numara, customers should see it as a positive step.

I need to say something. I need to say something about ITIL in light of all the "poking" I have done via various mediums (such as the What Next For ITIL? and Giving Back To The IT Service Management Community blogs). The fact that ITIL is an easy target; and that breaking something is far, far easier than creating something. Hopefully, we all appreciate that it isn't really that difficult to pick fault with just about anything, even if it is nigh on perfect (oh, and that is not intended to be read as "ITIL is perfect"). But as the oft-quoted senior manager quote says: "Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions."
I have great admiration for the creators of ITIL (or the IT Infrastructure Library as was) even though I do think that ITIL v3 became bloated, and potentially confusing, misdirecting, and demotivating. And, having only dipped in to my digital copy of ITIL 2011 I can't yet comment on the latest incarnation of the IT service management (ITSM) best practice framework.
So what do I really want to say? Or "for heaven's sake man, please cut to the chase."
ITIL-bashing doesn't work but we continue to do it
This might be an overly-dramatic statement but a lot of us do it.
I'd like to think that most, if not all, of us do it for the right reasons: we want I&O organizations to be better at managing IT service delivery and at enabling their parent businesses via technology. However, I can't help think that WE need to change as much as ITIL needs to change.
Let's look at some "facts" (OK, "facts" might not be the right word):

It sounds like the start of a bad Christmas cracker joke. Maybe the title of this blog should actually be, "Why Should Buying An IT Service Management (ITSM) Tool Be Like Buying A Car?" but let's see where this goes. I'll deliberately avoid talking about salespeople.
I sometimes talk about new application development in the context of acquiring a car: in that the business often says "we want a green car" to IT rather than saying "we want a means to get from A to B that is aesthetically pleasing." What I realized responding to a Forrester client inquiry this morning is that the same is true in selecting an ITSM tool.
How should one buy a car?
Let's look at ITSM tool selection in terms of needing a new means of transport/business support, as you might not actually need a car:

A lot continues to be said about the impact of "social" on IT support and for some it is now "so 2009." To me, it was inevitable in 2009, and I wonder how far we have moved on in reality. Yes, some IT service management (ITSM) tool vendors have added in shiny new capabilities inspired by the adoption of mainstream social facilities such as Facebook and Twitter; but how many IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) organizations really understand social (and how social will impact IT support)? This, however, is the meat for another blog from the Forrester Community deli – today I only have time to drop a few sourpuss-thoughts in "virtual ink."
So why am I being such a sourpuss?
Firstly, I am burdened by "the collective history of the ITSM community." How often have we seen a great ITSM idea murdered in its execution? Consider the word "execution" here – it seems somewhat appropriate methinks:
Posted by Stephen Mann on January 13, 2012
In September 2009 I wrote a "blog" called "Great ITSM and ITIL People to Follow on Twitter." In stumbling upon it again yesterday I couldn't help wonder:
In doing this I couldn't help feel that, while I value Twitter as both an information resource and a workspace, I have been somewhat sleepwalking through it the last two years.
Why am I sleepwalking through Twitter?
It seems a strange thing to admit to, doesn't it?
I literally "work" in Twitter these days and I would lose a dimension of my capabilities and "personality" without it (or a similar social environ). But the fact that I still place a heavy emphasis on the Tweets of the people below, that an updated list would not include that many more Tweeters, and that I didn't realize that a few of the Tweeters listed are no longer actively Tweeting is quite scary to me.
My conclusion is that I have been very lazy in my use of Twitter (heaven forbid that people think that "number of Tweets" is a sign of Twitter proactivity).
So what should I do?
My original thinking from nine months or so ago (when I realized that Twitter was becoming a little incestuous in terms of my following of people) was to follow more Tweeters. I think I have nearly doubled the number of people I follow but I am still in the same place in many ways.
For information, my current ratio for @stephenmann is:

In response to a number of Forrester client inquiries and as part of the #Back2ITSM activities, before Christmas I polled a number of IT service management tool vendors about their views on IT service management tool verification or certification schemes such as PinkVERIFY and the OGC ITIL Software Scheme (others are available but these are the main two I receive inquiries on). I have still to analyze the vendor responses having given a response deadline of the 16th January 2012 but thought it wise to get the customer point of view on the value of such schemes.
So where do you stand on the worth of such schemes?
Posted by Stephen Mann on January 5, 2012
Remember 2011? It seems a long time ago already.
At the start of August, I wrote a speculative blog called Giving Back To The IT Service Management Community which was somewhat of a personal plea for anyone involved in IT operations, IT service delivery, IT support, etc. to "give back" to the larger community. This highlighted (or reminded us of) the need for the creation of lower-level, more granular, and ultimately more practical best practice information that is freely available to IT service management (ITSM) practitioners; as a quick start mechanism and/or to prevent the continued reinvention of the wheel by organizations wishing to better themselves. It all looked good with over three thousand unique views on the Forrester Blog site alone.
In late October (yes, I know I am slow), I published ITSM Practitioner Health Check: The ITSM Community Strikes Back with an associated survey hoping that hundreds if not thousands of ITSM practitioners would offer their views as to where we, as a community, need most help. The results?
ITSM Practitioner Health Check: initial results
Firstly, I need to temper my expectations: the survey was open for two months and plugged by many on Twitter and by organizations such as the itSMF UK, the SDI, and Hornbill but still only 149 people started the survey. Why did I say "started," because only 76 completed the two "meaty" questions.
Posted by Stephen Mann on January 3, 2012
ITIL is such a commonly used word in the kingdom of IT service management (ITSM) that it is easy to assume it to be a global phenomenon (how many people say "ITIL" when they mean, or should mean, "ITSM"?). After all the Official ITIL Website (http://www.itil-officialsite.com/) cites ITIL as:
"The most widely accepted approach to IT service management in the world. ITIL provides a cohesive set of best practice, drawn from the public and private sectors internationally."
We know that ITIL exam numbers continue to be strong: with ITIL Foundation Certificate pass rates between January 2009 and July 2011 as follows courtesy of http://itsminfo.com/?p=245:

Not that there's anything wrong with that. We have long maintained that IT organizations and the CIOs that lead them will increasingly be the owner and operator of environmental systems of record, just as they are for financial, HR, and customer data systems, among others. But, ITfS suppliers will want to develop multiple pathways into customer organizations. For most, decision-making around sustainability processes and technologies is diffuse, spread across IT, facilities, operations and CSR. Finding the buyer for sustainability is oft-times the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Both are prominently featuring "energy" in their messaging in keeping with the current customer focus on that side of the consumption/emissions coupling. And both are emphasizing a combination of software products and consulting services, the two segments of the market that we at Forrester have been tracking for some time now, as regular readers of this blog know by now.
But under the surface there are more differences than similarities in the approach that these two suppliers are taking to ITfS; differences that illuminate divergent strategies, philosophies, and experiences between them. Let's take a closer look.
HP is going broad; IBM is narrowing its focus. With its initial "Energy and Sustainability Management Services" entry, HP is leveraging its data center design and implementation expertise into buildings and other assets across the enterprise. It is stressing a holistic, top-down approach, starting with assessment workshops and other methods to help customers get their arms around the size and shape of the energy/carbon/resource issues.

A Peek Behind The Wizard's Curtain
The world of hyper scale web properties has been shrouded in secrecy, with major players like Google and Amazon releasing only tantalizing dribbles of information about their infrastructure architecture and facilities, on the presumption that this information represented critical competitive IP. In one bold gesture, Facebook, which has certainly catapulted itself into the ranks of top-tier sites, has reversed that trend by simultaneously disclosing a wealth of information about the design of its new data center in rural Oregon and contributing much of the IP involving racks, servers, and power architecture to an open forum in the hopes of generating an ecosystem of suppliers to provide future equipment to themselves and other growing web companies.
The Data Center
By approaching the design of the data center as an integrated combination of servers for known workloads and the facilities themselves, Facebook has broken some new ground in data center architecture with its facility.
At a high level, a traditional enterprise DC has a utility transformer that feeds power to a centralized UPS, and then power is subsequently distributed through multiple levels of PDUs to the equipment racks. This is a reliable and flexible architecture, and one that has proven its worth in generations of commercial data centers. Unfortunately, in exchange for this flexibility and protection, it extracts a penalty of 6% to 7% of power even before it reaches the IT equipment.

Our troops helping others, and they need your help!
Everyone knows that I am a HUGE supporter of our troops!
Here are just a couple more reasons why!
If you can lend a hand to either cause, that would be great!
Toys For Tots
Is in desperate need this holiday season! They are running so low on donations this year that they are worried thay'll have to say 'no' to some kids...
Please donate anything you can to help the Marines and our State Troopers who are trying to make Christmas special for some kids in need this holiday season!
Click here to find a drop off point and to get more information
I got this press release today and thought you'd be interested!
Operation Soccer Ball
Support our troops and help to make a difference.
Bring a soccer ball and receive free admission to the Higgins Armory Museum.
In cooperation with the XVIII Airborne Corps, we are collecting soccer balls to be distributed by U.S. troops to Iraqi children.
As our service members reach out in Iraqi neighborhoods, they are finding a common language through soccer to build strong relationships.
âIn just a few moments, kicking around the ball, the kids forgot their problems and we were able to speak the same language...soccer. I could only think of one word. Hope.â

This question may have been answered in another thread, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a difference in the Speer Gold Dot LE vs. the standard SD ammo. I'm looking to buy more than just the regular 20 round box, but of course the LE is the only I can find with more than 20 rounds.
Probably somewhat of a noob question but thanks in advance for your input.

Megan Singleton summons up the courage to enter the Museum of Death in LA, and ponders the Dark Tourism trend.
I should never have gone in. I knew when I was looking around the welcome area that this museum would freak me out, but in the interests of a good story, I paid $15 and walked through the curtains.
"Welcome area" is a misnomer. There is nothing welcoming about the Museum of Death on LA's Sunset Boulevard.
Behind the blood-red velvet curtains was another curtain - this time clinking beads. We pushed them apart and the noise made a woman in the windowless room nearly collapse in fright. I soon saw why.
She and her husband were engrossed in newspaper clippings accompanied by crime scene photos of a gruesome death. We laughed uneasily.
This place made me jumpy. It had a slight smell that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and my stomach began to churn. My husband - a policeman - was utterly fascinated, more by the audacity of the exhibition than by the images he was seeing.
I just wanted to clutch his arm and close my eyes.
The owner of this grisly flotsam of humanity, James Dean (he assured me this was his real name), explained that this current collection is only a part of what he owns in the genre of death.
He's been an avid collector for 25 years and his exhibits run from his own taxidermied pets in a dusty trophy room to body bags, torture chairs and gruesome crime scene photos that he has requested directly from the courts and now displays on the walls.
In the United States, the First Amendment right to freedom of expression means that the victim's right to privacy doesn't exist. When I asked Dean about this, he just responded that the victims' families don't have to visit. Apparently it's okay in America to gather information and images about anybody to make money out of them.
It took me several hours before my stomach settled and I was able to shove the images aside. And it got me thinking about the ethics around this genre known as Dark Tourism. Where should we draw the line?
Is it okay that photos of a man who has been decapitated by his betraying wife and her secret boyfriend are now on the wall at The Museum of Death?
Incidentally, it was these photos that were her downfall. She and her lover, both naked and posing with a hacksaw poised over the mutilated body of her unsuspecting husband as he watched television, were processed by a "friend" at a local drug store, but packaged by another colleague, who called the cops. The man got life in prison and she got six years. She's already out.
But, while I was affected by the things I saw here, I wonder if I would feel the same way about the collection of gruesome photos of Pol Pot's Tuol Sleng prison in Cambodia.
Or is this somehow an educational pilgrimage, a piece of history that, by visiting and being shocked, we vow never to forget the horror that one person, one regime or one nation can perpetrate on the innocent?
Or is it a numbers game? Paying money to visit the site where many deaths took place seems somehow noble, but when it's one anonymous person without political motivation, it's sick?
Perhaps it's the grisly images? I visited the Crime Museum in Washington DC two years ago. There, exhibitions feature graphic accounts of serial killers and brutal mafia wars in Chicago in the 1910s, but without the colour photos.
However, Ted Bundy's VW Beetle sits in the foyer of that institution, doors thrust open to show exactly where he placed his bound victims before torturing and killing them.
It seems that today, we can be too blase about immersing ourselves in the macabre. Over time we've depersonalised it so that other people's suffering barely moves us. Many monuments around the world are in place to remember tragic passings - New York's 911 Freedom Tower will be completed in 2013, 12 years after the attack.
It's a conundrum. I don't want to see footage of people leaping to their deaths from the World Trade Center, but I'm okay to read their names in the memorial that now lies on the site where they brutally landed that day.
Is it different for everyone, perhaps?
Dark Tourism is a popular genre; just look at the hordes who go to Gallipoli each year. But seeing photos of the bloodied and broken bodies lying at Chunuk Bair might be where we draw the line.
If Dark Tourism can help give us an insight into a world in which we don't want to live, then maybe it has its place. But if it is purely a revenue stream for twisted individuals to indulge in a base fantasy world, then I say use the red marker and draw that line.

Kuala Lumpar is the capital of Malaysia, the population is a mix of Malays, Indians, Chinese and British which gives an interesting mix of food options and shopping experiences. The city centre is home to some of the highest skyscrapers in Asia.
We spent a few days here exploring the sights as part of our journey through Malaysia. We were pretty tired by this point as Singapore really killed us with all the walking (not the hangovers…honest!) Only a few more days running around like this and we will soon be in Thailand for a rest!
Hop on Hop off Bus Tour – We spent the day on a hop on hop off bus tour – which was great for our aching feet
Batu Caves – These caves are a short train ride away from KL. They are a sacred place for the Hindus and as you approach the caves there is a giant Buddha statue there waiting for you to enter. Also there were monkeys hanging around the entrance. There are three main caves and to get to the main one there are 272 steps to climb! Outside the caves, at the base of the steps are many vegetarian Indian restaurants to choose from, we had a pretty good feed for only a few dollars.

Scott Donaldson is now less than 100 nautical miles - 185km - off the Taranaki coast.
Completion of the crossing will make Scott, a former Rotorua swim coach, the first person to kayak solo the Tasman sea from Coffs Harbour in Australia to New Zealand. He is now into his third month at sea.
From 7am to 4.30pm today Scott has covered 33km, this places Scott 177km from the Taranaki coast.
The forecast is for wind decreasing and going more to the west.
"We are assuming Scott will paddle on tonight and into tomorrow in order to make the most of the improving conditions - the best he has experienced over the last 48 plus hours," said John Funnell, who has provided air support to Donaldson.
"Scott has reported he is always hungry because of the work he is doing, but thanks to Back Country Cuisine he has adequate food, with sufficient water for another five days.
"Sea conditions have not been pleasant, and his sleeping bag has become wet as a result of condensation and also from the attempted repair of the rudder, when water entered the cabin."
He said they were hopeful of a Sunday arrival into Port Taranaki and would update tomorrow.

"Elementary schools are facing crowding issues, administrators said."
That sounds exactly like what many parents predicted would happen at the board meetings to determine if Slater would close. Within ONE year of closing Slater, we now have a "crowding issue"! I hope that the school district can stop their short sightedness in the future and really look at what is in the best interest of the students.
