There are over 11 million Filipinos living abroad, counting Philippines citizens who are temporary overseas workers or permanent residents of other countries, as well as those who have become citizens of their countries of residence.
A photo of children behind a fence is overlaid by a map showing the distribution around the world of overseas Filipinos. Ironically, the photo was snapped by a Dutch tourist, who posted it on Flickr under the title, "Like you've never seen a white person before."
When I emailed for permission, he wrote, "I took this picture somewhere deep in Cebu City. We were eating chicken heads, feet, etc. with Filipino friends. These children passed by, and then came back when they saw those long-nose white persons. 'Hey Joe!'" Photo from www.flickr.com, used by permission of Lennart Woltering.

Post seperation with V2, Moby inked a deal with old label Mute again to release his new album.
Moby's highly anticipated album may not arrive too long with his new Mute deal. The singer who previously had no label is taken under the recording house wing for U.S. record deal.
The singer actually has been recording with Mute since 1993 and his return to the label was explained with three reasons. He said, "A: I live a few blocks from Mute U.S headquarters, B: the people at Mute U.S. are my friends, and C: the people at Mute U.S are smart and love music."
Moby was previously signed to V2 label in 2002 but parted with it soon after the release of "Hotel" (2005). He has since been working on the follow up and announced that it will be out somewhere around September.

Rival big four accounting firms do not rule out cost cutting measures in line with those taken by Ernst & Young, saying the tough market makes it "irresponsible to unequivocally rule in or out any decisions".
E&Y cut 89 jobs amid rumours of more to come. "The market is challenging all organisations," said PwC Australia boss Luke Sayers. PwC Australia cut 211 jobs in May and put partner performance under review. PwC has continually denied rumours of a partner cull, affecting roughly 50 partners generating annual fees under $250,000. Unlike staff cuts, partner "retirements" are not transparent. Former partners are often retained as consultants working out of the same office they occupied while employed full-time. "The 'old bulls' are being put to grass to make way for the young," said Beaton Capital consultant Warren Riddell.

Who's really making money in the cloud computing market?
[8 best cities to find cloud computing jobs and What does a cloud IT career really mean?]
It can be tough to say for sure because most cloud computing companies don't make official revenue and earnings figures available. But, that hasn't stopped some analysts from making estimating at least the revenue results.
[RELATED: Cloud vendors expand their portfolio offerings, geographic footprint to extend their enterprise reach]
Analyst firm Technology Business Research estimates annual revenue for the top public cloud companies in 2012 across infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) markets. As you can see here, only Salesforce.com, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft are believed to have crossed the $1 billion mark for annual cloud revenue. Providers like IBM, HP, Citrix and AT&T still have a ways to go.

I'm assuming that's the only picture you could get of Tig's face where she didn't look like a Chernobyl baby.
Yeah, if you're playing it on the PC you *must* get DSFix. It's pretty mandatory and makes the game oh so pretty.
Since playing Demon Souls I was thinking 'why is Seph wearing armour', and just how much prettier Dark is than Demons. Even without Dsfix, it was a big step up IMO.
Lego LoTR (sorry about black bars on some, it's a cutscene thing):
Why do they call them Lego games? I see hardly any Lego in them, such a cop out...
The whole thing should be made to look like it's all lego.
Generally, anything that looks like lego can be interacted with, so I guess it's a mechanical choice. I think there's a bonus level set on one of those lego terrain tiles.
It's not a glitch but I really like the screenshot. It's from DC Universe.
I might just play offline anyway - but it's annoying because it runs fine for long periods and then goes to crap - often in areas you've already been to which were fine...
Weird, I've never had any issues like that. Do you unlock FPS? I think that's the most dodgy part, I just leave it at 30.
Same here,i have kinda low end gaming rig for this time and still i managed to have really fine fps even when fighting all kind of shit.

West Bromwich Albion and Fulham are also being linked to the 26-year-old wideman who helped Galatasaray reach the last eight of the Champions League last season.
Amrabat, who cost the Turkish club £7million last summer, impressed in both Champions League group games against Manchester United - where he caught the eye of Tigers boss Steve Bruce.
He can play on either wing, but City's capture of former loan star Ahmed Elmohamady suggests Bruce has earmarked him for a left-sided role if the two clubs can reach an agreement.
Galatasaray though do not want to sell Amrabat and are likely to put obstacles in the way of any transfer.

The tailgate was off to a fantastic start, and a positive omen for the Bengals, when Lot 1 decided to open over an hour early! the Who Dey Hero Bus was at the front of the line and ready to pull-in, so we happily drove up to our spot and got things ready to rock-n-roll!
The day was full of surprises. The first of which came when Bomb Squad member Jason brought his baby daughter Raven for her first-ever tailgate with the Bengal Bomb Squad! Although she was a little intimidated by "Andre", she had a blast with our cast of characters!
Our little group is expanding as more season ticket holders and super-fans have enlisted in the Bengal Bomb Squad and are returning weekly now! Oh the blessings of sitting on top of the AFC North!
Food treats were found everywhere! A surprise came with Beer & Cheese Cupcakes (don't be fooled by the name, they were sheer heaven in a cupcake wrapper!) and a mouth-watering Taffy Apple Pizza! The 1/4 pound Chicago-style hot dogs were too big to even bit!
We had special guests from Italy! Carrying their Italian flag with some Ocho Cinco Bengals flair - Paolo, Filo, and Fabio of Milan, Italy, brought their excitement for finally getting to see the Cincinnati Bengals play live to our humble tailgate! They partied with us before and after the game and cheered the Orange and Black throughout!
In addition, a father and son trio from Kansas City came by this weekend! They tour NFL teams and stadiums together, hitting a new one every single season! They were some of our earliest guests this Sunday and stayed right through to the end. A great bunch of guys who we're certain won't forget us anytime soon (and definitely won't be forgetting those Tiger Bombs!)
Back for a second week in a row, we held a special prize drawing! All guests who donated to the tailgate were entered and everyone was excited to see if they'd win! In the end, The Bengal Thing (for the 2nd week in a row!) and Dan B. took home the prizes! The drawings are proving so popular that you can bet they'll be returning throughout the season!
As always, the Bengal Bomb and Tiger Bombs were there in all their glory! Nearly thirty bombs were dealt out per round! Even though our new attempt at an "air raid siren" to signal the time for drinking up never really took off (we'll keep working on that one!), the Bombs were enjoyed by all!
As you know, the Bengals were victorious against the Bears in just amazing fashion! The 45-10 stomping was electric to watch and our gang was still fired-up well after the game. The photo below says it all.
Another large group (exceeding forty attendees!) this week with everyone meeting new friends, laughing with old ones, cheering through game of beer pong and cornhole! We're continuing having a blast enjoying 2009 with the Orange and Black!
Not everyone made it into our group shot (some left early to get into the stadium), but EVERYONE had a spectacular time!

Adrian graduated in medicine in 1915 from Trinity College, Cambridge. After medical service during World War I, he spent the greater part of his professional life at Cambridge in research and teaching, and as master of Trinity College (1961–65) and chancellor of the University (1968–75).
Adrian researched nerve impulses from sense organs, amplifying variations in electrical potential and recording smaller potential changes than had been detectable previously. Later he recorded nerve impulses from single sensory endings and motor nerve fibres, measurements contributing to a better understanding of the physical basis of sensation and the mechanism of muscular control. After 1934 Adrian studied the electrical activity of the brain; his work on the variations and abnormalities of the changes known as the Berger rhythm opened new fields of investigation in epilepsy and in the location of cerebral lesions.
He was president of the Royal Society (1950–55) and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (1954). In 1942 he was awarded the Order of Merit and in 1955 a barony. Among his writings are The Basis of Sensation (19271928), The Mechanism of Nervous Action (1932), and The Physical Background of Perception (1947).

We're just hours away from some of the most anticipated premieres of the Fall season and the inclusion of The Sing-Off to the primetime schedule this early into the season has many fans excited. Not only has the show added more talent to the stage, but the show has brought artist Sara Bareilles as the latest judge to join Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman on the panel. Last week, the Yak had the opportunity to participate in a conference call with Bareilles and Folds and we picked up their thoughts on the upcoming season, as well as with each other and fellow judge Stockman. Read on below for all the details and don't forget to watch the premiere of The Sing-Off TONIGHT on NBC at 8/7c! We even got wind of who Ben credits the musical era of Reality TV to!
Meet the A Capella Groups here!
On What Turned Them On To The Show's Premise
Joining the show was an easy decision for Sara. With an a capella background and having performed on the season 2 finale, Sara admits that "It was a no-brainer for me. It's a special show with lots of heart." The decision wasn't so easy for Ben. He initially told his management no because he didn't know much about the show. What convinced him was that the show was a capella in nature and that was unique and could be very musical.
On Their Thoughts on Pentatonix
Both Sara and Ben are excited to see what they and the other groups bring to the competition. This is especially unique in that 3 are from Dallas area and 2 connected with the group members via internet.
On Connecting With The Judges
"As much as you can when working with a couple of a**holes {laughs}. I can't say enough good things about Ben and Shawn. They made it really comfortable to join up with them in the panel. There was natural chemistry that started from Day 1." Sara has known Ben for a while now and has no qualms on talking to either of them regarding what they're seeing. She believes that conflict between judges takes away from what the show should be about. "It's been nice to have solidarity behind the panel and focus on the music."
On The Show's Success
Ben attributes the show's success to the amount of talent. "The singers are really talented and dedicated." Ben thinks it makes people feel good about people working well together. "You can watch TV and see people not getting together well. The show doesn't have to be artfully put together. As soon as they walk on stage and sing together, it's not just a lot of work, it's really a lot of art and craft. It counters to what we're told about our culture now – that everything is dumbed down, all reality shows, etc. I like to see some a** kicking myself, but to see the harmony this show provides for a couple hours is cool."
On Comparing The Different Kinds of Diverse Groups This Season
Ben claims that there is more of a range this year. He says you must take personal preference aside and hone in on what the groups are attempting to do and how effective it is. "I don't like all records, but a record is a record. You try not to make it personal, but make it about how they're working together and how effective it might be for their audience." On the other hand, Sara has nothing to compare it to. She knows it helps to keep in back of her mind that this is a competition for who can make a great record and connect with a mass audience. She looks forward to the complexity of what they're capable of.
Thoughts on the Fannin Family
The Fannin's are this season's all-family group, so they are unique in that sense alone. Even more, the youngest contestant on the show is one of the lead singers from this group. "She sings good, shows a lot of potential and heart," Sara claims. The judges go on to agree that there is something really sweet and innocent about seeing a family sing together and doesn't come across as hokey.
On Groups Biggest Challenge When Searching For a Piece to Perform
Ben thinks this is different for every group. "The story behind it is interesting. For example, you have an all female group – no bass. They have to find ways to make it work, they're off the beaten path. Sometimes you keep them [groups]. They may not have done their best show, but we may see something that will develop and surprise us. It's in how they surmount their weaknesses."
On What Makes This Season Different
"This is the 'Season of Innovation.' As it evolves, everyone will see the innovation to be second nature. Everyone will look for heart; it marks this season. We have a lot of stand out groups this season."
Sara: On Joining As a Judge
"Last finale, I was such a nerd – giddy and excited to be on the show. I had to put on my facades and be totally cool about it. On a lot of levels, I'm still geeking out and love that it highlights genre of music. I have the best seat in the house. I'm getting to impart my experience and wisdom on them and I'm learning a lot as well."
On Preparing For The Show
"Before the show, we have our sit-down and listen to the songs that the groups will sing. We don't listen to their version; we listen to the original. We know who will be singing what. We all probably take mental notes about what we expect and that provides a framework. If the group comes and surprises you, you had what you expected and what they did, and it gives a range of what to do [in terms of elimination] and what the group has changed from the week before.
On Giving People Second Chances
This season there are groups made up of superstars from previous seasons. "We actually encourage it," Ben states. "It's about groups working together. The show has become a hub of talent. One fellow on the Dartmouth Aires never contemplated being a musician." Well, look at him now…
On What An A Capella Singer Is About
As the one with experience, Sara had a lot to say about this question. "There is nothing to hide behind. I wouldn't answer that I'm always looking at the purity of the music. Connection with the audience can transcend minor technical issues. It's about being moved by an expression of art. It's all voices and sometimes your jaw is on the floor with the amazing talents of these people on stage. I can't imagine how they're making the sounds they do make. I look for depth, diversity and range on stage. Looking for technical skill and the ease." Ben echoed Sara's sentiments.
Ben's Thoughts on Similar Reality and Primetime Shows
Ben has never seen Glee and has only seen 5 minutes of American Idol, just to see what Simon Cowell was all about. "Simon will be remembered as how music industry is integrated into the pop culture. He's got a whole chapter. This world he created is not really what we do. We live in the form – he partially invented. We're really very different because the show itself is about harmony." He does plan on watching Glee sometime.
On A Ben Folds/Sara Bareilles Collaboration
Without hesitation, Ben stats, "Let's do it." Ben is actually producing an EP in November for Sara. The plans have been in place to go to Nashville and collaborate on a song. The plans were in place before Sara even joined The Sing-Off.
On How Being In a Group Prepared Sara
"This show gives me nostalgia for a time in my life that I'm proud about. I'm one of the more emotional ones. I get sucked into the story, into their [the group's] journey and it's part of the fact that I've been in their shoes. I do feel very connected. I felt like I wanted to jump on stage and be a part of the all-girl group." As for Ben, "one of the main reasons I got into this show was high school music programs. Sometimes they are one of the first cut [with budget revisions]. I did an a capella record with a University group and money went to music education charities. One of the great things about the show is despite the cut of music in school, you're seeing an increased number of kids getting together on their own dime with no class credit at universities. It's becoming a social event. They're having to learn harmony and voice leading and they have various levels of education."
On The Changed Dynamics with 16 Groups
Adding more groups to the mix makes it hard for everyone. Ben admits it is "more than a challenge even from our point of view. Competition is heavier because there is more talent. You have to hone your ear in more. Finding creative ways to take 16 groups and have them all sing together in one opening number is pretty amazing stuff. It's nothing but better, it's just more difficult."
There you have it. Remember, the premiere is tonight, so you don't want to miss it! The talent promises to be unbelievable! Thanks to Sara and Ben for their time!

After serving as a juror for a 9-day trial, which ended last week and resulted in the state annexing my Spring Break in their service, I have had some time to think about our civic duties as Catholics in America. What exactly do we owe our country and how do we go about serving her in the best possible manner? What exactly are our civic duties?
It is easy to say that something is part of our "civic duties" and thus entice citizens to act or perform in a certain manner. It can either be a throwaway line with jingoistic connotations, or a statement about acting for a cause you believe will strengthen or advance your country. We all certainly "owe" our country something. But what exactly is it?
I argue that what we "owe" our country are our beliefs and the truth we possess. There is a famous letter written by Lt. Commander John J. Shea to his son during World War II, in which he writes to his son, giving him advice on how to live and explaining why he has to serve our country. Lt. Commander Shea died several months after writing the letter, and it was eventually published in the Boston Globe and Time Magazine. While the entire letter is worth reading here, one line became especially important to the growing American Catholic population of the time:
"Be a good Catholic, and you can't help being a good American."
Lt. Commander Shea's insight was that being a good Catholic Gentleman means being a good citizen. The Catholic Gentleman stands for the truth and answers when his country calls. We have something worth fighting for and we must fight for it. While that does not mean that all of us must serve in the armed forces, it does mean that we all owe something to our country. Whether that means serving the souls of its citizens as a Catholic or serving the public good in general, each of us owes something to our fellow men. We must fight for truth at all times, by voting to affirm the dignity of man, by ensuring the public good, and by raising our families to do the same.
Our civic duties cannot be separated from our duties as Catholic Gentlemen. We must stand for the truth at all times, and serve our fellow men to the best of our abilities. We owe something to those around us. Part of "loving others as Christ loved us" means that the Catholic Gentleman must work for the common good. And that's a civic duty we can all support.

Irish maestro Dermot Weld pencilled in Voleuse De Coeurs as a likely Melbourne Cup winner when he had charge of the mare at his Curragh stables, although he always thought 2014 might have been the year that she really made her mark in Australia.
The daughter of Teofilo had run away with the Irish St Leger last September, but Weld was preparing to resist the temptation to bring her to the other side of the world for the 2013 Cup. However plans were rapidly changed when she was bought by Australia's Eliza Park Stud just before the big race and shipped over to take her chance in the Flemington classic.
Ridden by James McDonald, the five-year-old picked up a cheque when she ran 10th of the 24 starters behind Fiorente after having little time to acclimatise and get used to her new surroundings, at Mike Moroney's Flemington stables. Four months on and, according to her trainer, Voleuse De Coeurs is in terrific shape, with Moroney believing she is now in a better position to show just how competitive she can be at top level over a distance of ground.
She is due to resume first-up in the Australian Cup over 2000 metres at Flemington on Saturday - which might be on the short side given her previous race record - before heading to Sydney to tackle staying events like the BMW and the Sydney Cup during the autumn carnival.
''She's done well, she's put on a lot of weight and looks bright,'' Moroney said of his charge. ''She's come right in the coat and looks like she has acclimatised.''
On reflection he concedes that a tilt at the Cup last year might have been a bit ambitious given the timeframe.
''Maybe it did come too soon, but she did a great job. Just being a mare it's a bit harder to travel. She had a pretty long trip from Ireland by float and I know she was pretty light on when she got there. Dermot always said this wasn't going to be her year but the year after, maybe because he probably peaked her for the Irish St Leger too.
''She is pretty clean-winded even though she's put on the weight. She's a natural stayer.''

Viva Pinata
Review by MattDark
"The best non-violent game on the 360 yet?"
Rare seem to have come out with their hidden weapon in Viva Pinata, a surprisingly addictive and fun game that even the 'mature' games can enjoy.
The graphics for this game are top notch, each species of pinata is made to look different from the others and like real pinatas, these creatures look colourful, and seem to fit in really well with the environment. The other characters in the game that help you out are all pretty much unique, and fit it with the look of the game, they may look a bit odd, but they are all well made. The environment itself is really well done, which is good considering you'll only be playing in a small area, so there was no excuse to let the environment suffer like other games do when they put so much graphical power into the characters around you. It may not be Gears of War, but that doesn't change that fact that its a great-looking game.
The sound effects fit in well in some places, like using your shovel to pound the hard soil or dig a pond, it sounds right, and there's nothing more satisfying then a hearty 'clang' whenever you hit a person or pinata with the shovel. The people who help you out and talk with all have their own voices, all well done but you may find some that bother you, and the phrases some of them give you may bother you if you constantly talk to them. The pinata also have their own voices for each species, helping them stand out. Although some will either get on your nerves or have you crying in laughter, just don't look inside a full quackberry house if you know what's good for you.
The game is easy enough to play and control, and will help you into how everything works. The main idea of the game is to restore the garden to its former glory by breeding pinatas and growing plenty of plants. Every type of pinata has a set of requirement that you must meet in order to them to visit your garden, start living there and eventually romance with another pinata. While will earn you experience in order to get better items and get more space in your garden. These requirements include things like having a certain plant or pinata in the garden, creating a certain item or even romancing a pinata.
If you ever need to check the requirements, they are all listed in the journal that you receive, with data on everything you have done and seen. One notable problem though, is that while the game may be mainly targeted for kids at first, some of these things may become a bit much for them.
The general story of this game is that you have been asked to tend to a garden after its former owner could no longer work on it himself. With the help of his children who will do certain things for you. More of the story is revealed as you level up in the game, telling you what happened to the original owner and why you've taken his place. Your goal is to raise pinatas, ship them off to parties and restore the garden to its original prosperity before becoming the greatest gardener in the game.
Despite its bright graphics and its kid-friendly system, this is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages. Like a lot of Rares other games, it has some elements that the 'mature' game can enjoy without the use of blood, sex and swearing. So if your looking for something different, give Viva Pinata a try, you wont be disappointed.

Feinstein turns to Minors for latest tome
Author covers 2012 International League campaign in new book
By Benjamin Hill / MiLB.com | February 25, 2014 10:00 AM ET
"This book is about a handful of men who run the gamut of life in Triple-A; men who have been stars and have fallen, men who have been rich and then far from rich; men who have aspired to these heights and then fallen."
So wrote John Feinstein in the introduction to his new book, Where Nobody Knows Your Name, which takes the reader on a determined if not always redemptive trip through the 2012 International League season. As the above paragraph and the book's title make clear, Triple-A isn't exactly a place where anyone wants to be. This could be said of the entirety of the Minor Leagues, of course, but at the lower levels, players often have a sense of momentum and optimism as they work their way toward "The Show." Triple-A is more commonly viewed as a grim professional baseball purgatory, where has-beens and almost-weres cling with increasing desperation to their dream of attaining (or returning to) Major League glory.
To illustrate the realities of the Triple-A life, Feinstein (a veteran sportswriter whose best-known works include A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink) focuses on nine men who spent all or most of the 2012 campaign in the International League: pitchers Scott Elarton, Brett Tomko and Chris Schwinden; hitters Scott Podsednik, Nate McLouth and John Lindsey; managers Charlie Montoyo and Ron Johnson; and umpire Mark Lollo. The career arcs of these men run the gamut mentioned above, but in 2012, they were all dealing with the same basic trials and tribulations as they tried to reach the promised land. These men are so close and yet so far away, and correspondingly, there are many quotes along the lines of that uttered by Schwinden in the book's seventh chapter: "It's not as if you root for a guy to get hurt. But guys do get hurt, and when someone does, that can mean you get your chance."
Indeed, injury begets opportunity. Where Nobody Knows Your Name is peppered throughout with anecdotes involving the most magical of Minor League moments, the callup to the Major Leagues. Managers -- such as Montoyo and Johnson -- take an intense delight in breaking the news, especially when it involves a player who has languished in the Minors for an inordinately long time. Lindsey is a particularly striking example, as his 2010 callup to the Los Angeles Dodgers occurred at the end of what was his 16th professional season. When Lindsey got the news from his manager in Albuquerque, Tim Wallach, Feinstein writes that "a celebration ensued."
"When a player has been around baseball for as many years as [J.C.] Boscan or Lindsey without making the majors, it is, at least in part, because he is looked to by younger teammates as a mentor. If not, teams wouldn't keep him around. That's why the joy is so genuine when one of them makes it."
But in the case of Minor League lifers such as Lindsey, the callup is usually a mere cameo, offering a well-earned but all-too-brief respite from the realities of Triple-A. And those realities include financial insecurity, arduous travel schedules and the chance of being demoted, traded or released at a moment's notice. In that final regard it would be hard to top Schwinden's 2012 campaign, as at one point, the right-hander pitched for seven teams in four organizations over the span of 35 days.
Feinstein ably chronicles the ups and downs of Schwinden and his International League compatriots, telling their stories with honesty and compassion. But like the Minor League season itself, Where Nobody Knows Your Name can often feel like a slog. In addition to its nine primary subjects, the book briefly profiles dozens of other characters (including a broadcaster, a general manager and a league president) whom Feinstein encountered during the course of the 2012 season. The book shifts perspectives at a rapid pace, and over the course of its nearly 350 pages, many of these subjects fail to register as individuals, subsumed into a repetitive and monochromatic march toward a conclusion that was established from the start: Triple-A is a tough place to be. Maybe you'll get out of it, and maybe you won't.
Person after person is quoted as saying some variation of "I wish it wasn't like this, but I get it," their world-weary musings broken up by Feinstein's almost comically overused observation of "he smiled" (a wry, knowing smile, presumably). These first-person anecdotes are interesting, but the sheer number of them combined with Feinstein's unwillingness or inability to engage his subjects outside of the pre-established parameters of the locker-room interview results in what is often a surface-level read. (Recent Minor League Baseball-themed books that dive much deeper into the lives of their subjects include Marty Dobrow's Knocking on Heaven's Door and Katya Cengel's Bluegrass Baseball).
But these not-insubstantial criticisms aside, the average baseball fan will benefit from reading Where Nobody Knows Your Name. Triple-A is so close and yet so far away from the Majors, and Feinstein's work will result in a greater appreciation for what its inhabitants have gone through once they finally get (or return) to "The Show." And even if they don't, the journey will have still been worth it.
"[The] game usually gives you what you deserve, good or bad," veteran pitcher Scott Elarton is quoted as saying early in the book. "And you realize, especially when you get away from it, that you're going to live a lot of your life as an ex-ballplayer. That's why a lot of us figure out that hanging on for as long as you can possibly play the game is a good thing. It isn't really hanging on -- it's savoring what you've got."

Unhappy Howard sets deadline for Hicks charges
THE Prime Minister, John Howard, has set a three-week deadline for the US to bring charges against David Hicks as public opinion hardens in favour of his swift release from Guantanamo Bay.
Mr Hicks has been imprisoned in the US military jail on Cuba for five years without charge and will be tried under the US military commission process that both the US and Britain have deemed unsuitable for their citizens. The treatment of Mr Hicks - who was arrested in Afghanistan in late 2001 - has caused increasing disquiet among the public and parliamentarians, including many Coalition MPs. A Newspoll this week showed 56 per cent of respondents opposed the Government's approach and 27 per cent approved.
Mr Howard; the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer; and the Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock, met to discuss the Hicks case on Monday and made a formal request to the US for the charges to be laid expeditiously.
"We are unhappy that it has taken so long for him to be charged again," Mr Howard said.
He would not say what action the Government would take if the deadline was not met.
In recent weeks, the US has repeatedly assured Australia that the new charges were imminent.
Mr Howard's decision to make a formal request, and publicise it, reflects the high political stakes involved as well as lingering concern that previous US assurances have proved baseless.
Mr Hicks was charged in 2004 with conspiracy, attempted murder by an unprivileged belligerent and aiding the enemy, but the charges had to be dropped after the US Supreme Court ruled the US military commission system unconstitutional.
The aiding the enemy charge will not be reintroduced and a new charge of providing material assistance to a terrorist group is expected to be laid. The charge carries a maximum life sentence. A new military court has been set up since the Supreme Court decision but widespread concerns remain that it does not comply with the Geneva Conventions.
Mr Hicks's Australian lawyer, David McCleod, said Mr Howard should be pressing for his client's immediate release.
A Labor spokesman, Kelvin Thompson, said Mr Howard was simply responding to an adverse poll result and continued to be in denial about the prospect of more legal challenges to an unfair process.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The room and balcony were very inviting and cozy. It felt very German and was in an interesting area. Close to Porsche Museum. We liked everything about it. It actually had two rooms and good space.
Very nice quiet and big room. Great service, free parking etc.
Close to areas that I wanted to visit. No
All staff were fantastic, assisted where possible. After 6 weeks travelling, one of the best during our holiday. Early morning start with outside vehicles unloading to supermarket. Not a complaint though, not before 0630 - 0700 am.
large spacious rooms
Very good Breakfast and the room was very big. Stuff very friendly and helpfull. From outside it does not look like an hotel therefore is not easy to find it. the only negative thing is there were no way to have dark in the room.
Great room for the price, large and spacious. Free wireless internet access through the hotel, and free secure car parking underneath. The bathroom was not cleaned properly, with several of the previous occupants long hairs found in the shower. However the rest of the hotel and the room were perfectly fine.
Great apartment, very spacious and clean. Very well priced. Outstanding breakfast and helpful front desk. We would definately stay again! Great 4 star! None
The breakfast was great. The penthouse was spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Price was excellent for what we received. Carpet in the room and some of the furniture needs replaced.
In the hotel details it was not mentioned that the hotel is without a lift. It is very hard for old people to go up 2storeys of stairs every day.
Everything...the room-darkening shades, the great hot breakfast, but most of all, the wonderful staff who made us feel completely at home. Tiny car park underground is hard to navigate in anything bigger than a Smart.
Convenient to the Porsche factory and musuem. Out of the way for visiting Stuttgart sites downtown. However, there were bus routes in the immediate area. Free internet worked well. Nice breakfast buffet.
hotel owners are very nice young couple, they allow us to use their washing machine, drying machine and washing power for free, nice easy-going young couple car park is not big enough for me
The hotel had an excellent value for money ratio. IT was very clean, beds were comfortable, rooms were quiet. The location of the hotel is not very convenient unless you have a car.
Very friendly staff. Very modern and clean room. Free parking and wifi. Good access to Porsche Museum. Very good restaurant.
very nice place - and great value for money... staff was of great help and rooms and breakfast were perfect... good recomendation for dinner locally !! none
Good staff, good room, brilliant for staying close to Porsche museum
The hotel was chosen for easy access to Porsche, which it has. It was very simple, and minimalistic but the staff (only 1 or 2 present) were friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an industrial area and not quite as shown on their pictures on the web-site. THe busy junction and open parking were a concern
