0 A.D. is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of twelve ancient civilizations, from Iberia to Mauryan India, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess. Developed using Pyrogenesis, a ground-breaking new game engine custom-built to suit this project, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience.
Alpha 4 Daedalus includes basic opponent AI, improved terrain blending and fog of war, new naval units, new sound effects and more!
Posted by Jeru on Mar 12th, 2011
Wildfire Games proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 4 Daedalus", the fourth alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. Now you can play against a (rudimentary) computer opponent, build Celtic warships, see gradually blending terrains, march your troops past beautiful bridges and more!
Easy Download and Install
Download and installation instructions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. 0 A.D. is free of charge and always will be. You can redistribute it and modify it as long as you abide by the GPL. You can even use parts of the art and sound for your own projects as long as you abide by CC-BY-SA. No registration, no advertising, no catch.
New programming features in this release:
New art and sound features in this release:
Room for improvement:
As you can see, there is still a lot of work to be done. If you want to be part of this effort too, you're welcome to get involved!
Why "Daedalus"?
We name our releases according to development status ("Alpha" or "Beta"), successive release number (1, 2, 3, ...) and a word relating to the ancient world, in alphabetical order ("Argonaut" for A, "Bellerophon" for B, ...).
In Greek and Roman mythology, Daedalus (pronounced DEH-duh-lus or DEE-duh-lus; means "cunning worker" in Greek) was a mythological character famed for his inventions and craftsmanship. His creations included the Labyrinth at Knossos, artificial wings for himself and his son Icarus and more (Source: "Daedalus" on Encyclopedia Mythica). According to our records, "Daedalus" was first suggested on our forums by 0 A.D. fan eggman. Thanks!
For the next alpha, we welcome fan suggestions for words relating to the ancient world beginning with the letter E. We will prefer words related to the civilizations of ancient Iberia. Keep it original and within the 0 A.D. timeframe (appx. 500 BC - 1 BC). Yes, that means we intend to release the Iberian faction in Alpha 5!
The One-Month 0 A.D. Development Pledge
As you might remember, last release we asked for your donations so that we can compensate a developer of the team's choice for 160 hours of work. Thanks to our devoted fans from around the world, we reached our goal of $3,000 within less than 90 days! We cannot thank you all enough for your generosity. This shows in no uncertain terms how much our fans believe in 0 A.D. and is a huge encouragement for the entire team.
So far, we have tentatively selected the team member who will receive this compensation, Philip (Ykkrosh), but decided to hold off for a few months until we start using these funds to wait until he has more time to dedicate to 0 A.D development. We will announce exactly what parts of the game the money will be used for as soon as that becomes more relevant.
New Game Manual
We are working on new, more extensive documentation for the game on our wiki. As usual, this is a collaborative effort and everyone is invited to participate.
Long Time, No Siege
Wildfire Games will continue releasing new versions of 0 A.D. periodically. Watch our news feed to keep updated, or follow us by e-mail, RSS, Facebook or Twitter. And you're always welcome to join the 0 A.D. community on our forums.
Have you guys considered putting this game on Desura? I know it's an odd idea to have an alpha available alongside release-version games, but I think it would make it a LOT easier and more convenient for people to install, update, and play 0 A.D.!
Also, great work so far! It's amazing how NOT alpha this game looks already, which I believe is a testament to the model and texture contributors.
I hope you make matchmaking or something like that (boring to play alone) But i still love this game <3
good job guys, hope to see more updates in the near future
Got some matters to make it works on linux, nvidia driver issue :(
Anyway, looks nice!

You can easily walk into the downtown area from the motel.
The air conditioning unit in the room is very noisy and wakes up light sleepers when it cycles throughout the night.
The location was great for a drive to Napa Valley and the staff was very helpful.
Some of the first floor rooms are close to the pool and its a little disruptive if there are people at the pool late.
The beds @ Best Western are always the best...
Everything was good as expected for Best Western.
Great location, comfortable bedding, clean, friendly staff, Denny's next door, great value. Mini-fridge and microwave were appreciated.
Sharing parking lot with Denny's. Wifi slow in room 207, probably due to location.
Haven't stayed at a motel in years but was impressed with everything. No parking fee and continental breakfast too! Can't beat it!
location is great
the blanket on bed and bedspread did not appear to be sanitary. Also the bedframe was in bad shape and we had to work on it a bit!
Location was excellent. The rooms were above average and parking was ample when we were there
Reception service was rude and inefficient. While entering into the check-in desk front desk staff did not properly greet guests. Front desk service was rude and was more fitting of a motel 6.
The good? Location.
I arrived, and even though I had in black and white my reservation through Kayak, the hotel front desk could not find it. She then took my number down, but never bothered to grab the reservation code for follow up, which resulted in them calling me for the information. There was no offer to help or make right the situation. I just had to come back after they finished checking out the line behind me and wait for them to sort it out with Kayak or Orbitz or whatever vendor they said messed it up in the end. The rooms were just OK. I got a room over the front desk area, which meant that I heard quite a bit of noise. Thin walls/floors? I also found the plumbing to be atrociously loud. I used the toilet a few times while my partner slept and was afraid to flush because each time I did, the pipes went on for quite some time... Overall, I think the location did it justice, but otherwise, just so so.
Very clean room. Nice bathroom. Nice pool. Great desk and counter space. Excellent location.
Breakfast area too small. Rooms are kind of tight. Beds were creaky.
Great location! Hotel combined great Napa charm with modern design and luxury. Pool was also very relaxing and enjoyable!
Staff was great
No view, near the road, sort loud
comfortable beds.
it seemed poorly kept. extremely outdated. leaky faucets. bathtub plumbing was backed up.
Old run down place.
The rooms are on the larger size
The room was dark and dingy. Don't eat the breakfast! The food is horrid. We chose Best Western because of the reviews, don't do it. We wanted to enjoy the pool, but there were leaves floating on the pool and it was expensive.
Great location, quiet and within easy walkin distance of everything in Yountville.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Let's get together and write. We'll start with 10 minutes of socializing and getting coffee/food and then we'll write for 40 minutes. Then socialize for 10 minutes and then write for 40 minutes. You get the idea. Write your novel instead of just daydreaming about it. As this group's About section describes it, "Butt in seat, hands on keyboard!"
As Barnes and Noble in a mall setting can get pretty busy, we may have to spread out a little bit. If you end up wanting/having to sit on your own, please come and say hello! I would love to meet you and thank you for coming!
1. There are a few tables past the cafe, beside the elevator. Those tables will be reserved for us.
2. B&N usually plays music, so you might consider getting your earphones and MP3 player to tune off the outside music and listen to your instrumental stuff (or whatever it is that aids your writing)!
3. No chargers nearby. So keep your laptops charged.
It was nice meeting all of you the other night! Unfortunately, I can't make it to this weekend's MeetUp, but I will definitely attend future events.
May 8
I liked the structured feel to 40/10, and Alicia did a great job of sticking to the timetable to ensure we all stayed on track!
3 · May 7
Looking forward to this meetup! I've tried several other writing groups, each of which were flaky. Who could predict writers to be so unreliable!?

I did the paint/powder coat. The dark green is Mirror Green powder from Eastwood and the light green is Gloss Fern Rustoleum rattle can from lowes. I was going to go with Orange pinstripes but now after getting my "The World" decal put on I decided to go with red. Thanks I have a couple more from down by the river that I'll upload later. Plus I'm sure after the parade tomorrow I'll get to take some more with the rest of my decals on and the ugly head/tail lights off of it
got it out for Canal Cruise today. While at the turnaround point seen this Rebirth stone and just had to snap a picture
I saw the first post of this build and somehow missed the rest of it? That is one sweet looking bike and a nice restoration. How did you mask off the darts when you painted them? I saw you got some stencils. How did you use those ? I've been trying to get someone to do a show and tell on painting darts but so far no.
Thank you. The stencils i ordered are actually for a phantom but reversed for powder coated frames. Usually your suppose to paint the front color then mask off and paint the back. I'm getting ready to restore another straight bar for my dad and this time I'll post pics of putting the pencils on.
Thank you, I had considered going with bright red tires instead of the bricks but seen a bike this combination and loved it.

New board for Wife, PLEASE HELP!!
My wife wants to buy a new board but she doesn't like the looks of womens' boards. She found the board the she REALLY likes the look of, the Burton Hero Ltd. But its a mens board. Her stats are 5'6", 120lb size 6/7 foot. My question is if she got the 149, would that be to big of a board for her? Because its a V rocker would the flix be ok also? Are mens board that much stiffer then womens boars? Please help before she kills me....

don't get her a mens board. you will regret it. they are much stiffer and much wider than womens boards. also, not to beat a dead horse, but she should not be choosing a board based on the "looks" of the board. you should be more concern with the specs of the board and if the board suits her riding style/preferences. maybe check out capita, bataleon, gnu or never summer boards? not sure if she has checked those out yet, but seriously, don't let her get a mens board.

I guess, i just feel like mens boards are for men for a reason. why get a mens board when you could get a womens board that would be more suitable? i feel like getting a mens board just based on graphics is kind of silly. from my experience, and from the girls i ride with, we prefer the flex and feel of womens boards to mens boards overall, but maybe that is just us. at 120 lbs she could also size down smaller than a 149, but i guess it depends also on what kind of riding she does. that would be helpful to know. i guess in the end it all comes down to pesonal preference though!

No one should ever buy a board based on graphics, unless it's for your wife and she wants it I second looking into NS, Capita, Gnu and Bateleon. |

With a style the Los Angeles Times calls as "vivid and fast-moving as the music he loves," Ned Sublette's powerful new book drives the reader through the potholed, sinking streets of the United States's least-typical city.
In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The World That Made New Orleans, Sublette's award-winning history of the Crescent City's colonial years, he traces an arc of his own experience, from the white supremacy of segregated 1950s Louisiana through the funky year of 20042005—the last year New Orleans was whole. By turns irreverent, joyous, darkly comic, passionate, and polemical, The Year Before the Flood juxtaposes the city's crowded calendar of parties, festivals, and parades with the murderousness of its poverty and its legacy of racism. Along the way, Sublette opens up windows of American history that illuminate the present: the trajectory of Mardi Gras from preCivil War days, the falsification of Southern history in movies, the city's importance to early rock and roll, the complicated story of its housing projects, the uniqueness of its hip-hop scene, and the celebratory magnificence of the participatory parades known as second lines. With a grand, unforgettable cast of musicians and barkeeps, scholars and thugs, vibrating with the sheer excitement of New Orleans, The Year Before the Flood is an affirmation of the power of the city's culture and a heartbreaking tale of loss that definitively establishes Ned Sublette as a great American writer for the 21st century.
Musician, musicologist and longtime New York resident, Sublette revisits his Southern roots and recounts a 2004-2005 pre-Katrina research sojourn in New Orleans in this blunt, eloquently humane and musically astute memoir-a worthy companion to his acclaimed The World That Made New Orleans, a music-laden cultural history of the city to 1819. Sublette delves into some quintessential dynamics of modern American popular culture-including racism and poverty as well as restive imagination and invention-through the prism of his childhood in virulently segregated, early rock 'n' rolling Natchitoches, La., and the fraught but idiosyncratic culture he finds in pre-flood New Orleans. If discussions of Elvis, early rock 'n' roll and hip-hop millionaires straight out of New Orleans's projects inevitably rehearse familiar narratives, Sublette carefully marks them out as part of a larger personal and social landscape. Sublette's sensitivity to the precariousness of a system that collapsed completely after he returned to New York is more than mere hindsight; his worldview dovetails movingly with his turbulent and alluring subject and its dogged rebirth. (Sept.)
Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved."Ned Sublette is a literary Spirit Master, and The Year Before the Flood is his most personal and astounding work, full of mad knowledge and unorthodox insights about race, crime, history, politics, music and all the other ingredients that flavor the righteous roux that is New Orleans." —T.J. English, author, Havana Nocturne and Paddy Whacked
"Ned Sublette is the rarest of writers. The Year Before The Flood—his third tour de force work on music, race, history, and conscience—is his most personal and memorable yet." —Jeff Chang, author, Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation
"Ned Sublette sees the edgy magic of New Orleans with the eyes of both an insider and outsider. From race to music, from Parasol's bar to the Mardi Gras Indians, he really gets it. His feel for the sources of jazz and funk flavor the book and make it a delight." —Walter Isaacson, author, Einstein: His Life and Universe
"Sublette is a musical archeologist at heart . . . Part memoir, part history lesson, it's a scrapbook of the bustling port city at its most joyful, boisterous and deadly." —Los Angeles Times
"Part memoir, part history, it's a profile of the rich New Orleans music culture that Katrina nearly erased." —The Dallas Morning News
"A musician and musicologist, Sublette writes with passion and precision of New Orleans' music and Mardi Gras, violence and racism, and its unique—and now perhaps permanently damaged—culture." —St. Petersburg Times
"Sublette's first-person narrative captures the Big Easy before Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, and subtly hints at the surreal dysfunction that would take place immediately afterward." —Time Out New York
Posted February 7, 2013
A great book for anyone interested in the real history of culture, music, and oppression in America's most unique city. I've learned a great deal about the history if the city and it's traditions. Espescially great for musicians or those interested in music. Although his section about rap music in NO seemed to go on and on, that's probably a personal bias affecting that attitude. The author combines the educational aspects with personal anecdotes, and seems very relatable, and more importantly, genuine. Will definitely be checking out his other books.

1. Amazon: 'Old Guard' Private Clouds Don't Cut It
Amazon Web Services reminded the world it's still the leading cloud services provider at its first partner conference the last week of November in Las Vegas.
Andy Jassy, AWS senior vice president, launched a counterattack against "old guard" tech vendors Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Oracle for offering customers private clouds that promised customers all the benefits of a public cloud in their own data centers. "If you go to a private cloud, you have none of these benefits," Jassy said.
Terry Wise, director of global alliances, ecosystem and channel, told CRN that for partners, "there's just opportunity everywhere."
And CEO Jeff Bezos (pictured) said AWS's commitment to low margins will help it win the cloud game in the long run. "High margins cover a lot of sinners," Bezos said. "We've spent 18 years [operating with low margins] so it's deeply ingrained in our culture."
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

ABSTRACT: We developed a reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization-, and rolling circle amplification (RCA)-based assays for the identification of Trichoporon species and evaluated them with 48 isolates that had been previously recognized as belonging to eight species (Trichosporon asahii, T. cutaneum, T. dermatis, T. domesticum, T. inkin, T. japonicum, T. jirovecii, and T. laibachii). Results were compared to those obtained with DNA sequencing of three rRNA gene loci, i.e., the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, D1/D2 domain of the 28S rRNA gene and intergenic spacer 1 (IGS1) region. Using species-specific, or group-specific probes targeted at the ITS region and the D1/D2 domain, the RLB assay permitted accurate species identification of all 48 isolates with 100% specificity. Species-specific RLB probes correctly assigned 45/48 (94%) of the isolates (six species) with the exception of T. dermatis and T. japonicum isolates which were not targeted by the assay. Identification of T. dermatis relied on a positive hybridization result with the group-specific probe hybridizing with T. dermatis and T. jirovecii and the absence of a signal with the T. jirovecii-specific probe. T. japonicum strains were first assigned to the T. asahii-T. japonicum group by hybridization with the two species group-specific probe and then as T. japonicum by the absence of signal with a T. asahii-specific probe. Twelve species-specific RCA probes targeting the eight species studied detected templates of all 48 Trichosporon isolates and an artificial template of T. asteroides, all with good specificity. Both RLB and RCA are potential alternatives to DNA sequencing for the identification of Trichosporon species. The RLB approach is suited for the batched simultaneous analysis of large numbers of isolates, while RCA is more appropriate for the immediate study of single isolates. Comparative costs are US$7 and US$2 per assay for the RLB and RCA methods, respectively.Medical mycology: official publication of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology 11/2012; · 2.26 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three reference and 45 clinical isolates of Trichosporon were analyzed by conventional phenotypic and molecular methods to determine the species and genotypes of Trichosporon isolates from China. Target loci for molecular methods included the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene, and the intergenic spacer 1 (IGS1) region. Identification of eight Trichosporon species was achieved, of which Trichosporon asahii was the most common. Of the sequence-based molecular methods, the one targeting the D1/D2 domain assigned 97.9% (47/48) of isolates (seven species) correctly, while tests targeting both the ITS and IGS1 regions correctly identified all 48 isolates. The commercial API 20C AUX and Vitek 2 Compact YST systems correctly identified 91.9% and 73% of isolates when their biochemical profiles were queried against those of species contained in the databases, respectively, and misidentified 63.6% and 36.4% of isolates of species that were unclaimed by the databases, respectively. The predominant genotype among T. asahii clinical isolates, genotype 4 (51.4%), is rarely found in other countries. Voriconazole and itraconazole were the most active drugs in vitro against all the Trichosporon species tested, while caspofungin and amphotericin B demonstrated poor activity.Journal of clinical microbiology 09/2011; 49(11):3805-11. · 4.23 Impact Factor

Some are still getting stuck a black-screen, my only suggestion right now is to try playing in the pop-up window w/ the latest version of Flash Player*
Also added an alternate targeting scheme (just click on an enemy with the mouse to target it)
The Slush Fighters are back! Use a variety of characters to repel the invasion once and for all!
20+ levels take place from a college campus, to the countryside, a winter village, and even into a digital world. Featuring multiple boss battles that come with powerful rewards.
Progress through each of the levels by propelling the main enemy through the air.
Allowing the main bad guy to slow down will cause game over.
-Mouse + some keyboard controls (although it can be played with only the keyboard).
-Click a fighter's icon on the display to initiate an attack on the current target.
-Press 'Q' and 'E' to target specific enemies on screen.
-Press 'W' to revert back to the main enemy.
-Team Menu: Add/drop characters to your team and buy upgrades with your score.
-Map Menu(Level Select): Replay older levels for a higher score (and more spendable points!).
*Edit* Sorry about the bugs guys, usually a quick refresh or exiting to the main menu will fix it. Also this game is pretty graphics intensive, so try lowering the quality to help with the lag.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
8/10 reasons: little bit too easy even NG++.
Not much upgrades to buy and you should add more to this game like more upgrades
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is probably le Most addicting game that i have ever played in the history of Gaming
Not Kidding

Through the first six games of their opening round series against the Rangers, the Ottawa Senators have used the "revolving door" strategy when it comes to lineups — 24 different skaters have dressed with two rookies (21-year-old Jakob Silfverberg and 19-year-old Mark Stone) making their NHL debuts.
According to the Ottawa Citizen, the door might keep revolving for Game 7.
Eyebrows were raised at Wednesday's practice as neither Zenon Konopka or Matt Carkner participated. Head coach Paul MacLean said both were having "maintenance days" yet Konopka — who leads the playoffs with a 69.7 faceoff percentage — was seen walking gingerly out of Scotiabank Place before flying to New York.
The Carkner situation is equally intriguing. He's played in four of six games thanks in large part to his physical presence and, should he not be able to go, the Sens might go with AHL Binghamton call-up Mark Borowiecki (who would be making his series debut) rather than Matt Gilroy, who has played twice this series.
"The approach is to prepare yourself and be a good pro, because you never know," Borowiecki told The Citizen. "It's pretty cool. It's what every hockey player strives for, to play in a situation like that.
"Regardless of whether I'm in or not, I'm going to enjoy it and go in there prepared."
In addition to the Konopka/Carkner decisions, Ottawa also has to make a call on which of Stone, Silfverberg or Bobby Butler will play in Game 7.
Butler played Games 3-5 but was largely ineffective. Stone played Game 5 and assisted on Jason Spezza's game-winning tally. Silfverberg replaced Stone in Game 6 and seemed to fade after a quick start.
"It's not going to go down to the wire, but we still have some discussions to go through," said MacLean, who suggested he still needs to confer with his assistants and GM Bryan Murray. "Ultimately, I will have to make the final decision on who gives us the best chance to win the game."

I'm a Ranger fan and I'd be flabbergasted, and very happy, if they didn't suit up Knopka. He's killin' us on faceoffs AND plays the intimidator pretty well. Funny, when he played nearby for the Syracuse Crunch, his fists did most of the talking. Tho he did a pretty good morning routine on local radio TK-99 with Gomez and Dave.

Avigdor Lieberman (Hebrew: אביגדור ליברמן, IPA: [aviɡˈdor ˈliberman], (audio) (help·info); born Evet Lvovich Liberman (Russian: Эве́т Льво́вич Ли́берман))[1] is a Soviet-born Israeli politician. He is currently Member of the Knesset, Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of Israel. He is the founder and leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, whose electoral base are the immigrants from the former Soviet Union.[2]
Lieberman first entered the Knesset in 1999, and has since served in numerous roles in the government, including as Minister of National Infrastructure, Minister of Transportation, Minister of Strategic Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister, and Foreign Affairs Minister.

Lieberman was born on 5 June 1958 in Kishinev, Soviet Union (now Chişinău, Moldova). His father had served in the Red Army and spent seven years in a Siberian Gulag under Joseph Stalin's rule, where he met Evet's mother[citation needed]. After high school, Lieberman applied to study international law at Kiev University, but was, according to an interview, rejected for being Jewish. He then temporarily enrolled at the Chişinău Agriculture Institute with a hydrological land improvement major.[3]
Lieberman and his family immigrated to Israel in 1978, and Lieberman changed his first name to 'Avigdor'.[1] He initially considered living in a kibbutz before moving into Beersheba.[4] He was conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces and served in the Artillery Corps,[5] attaining the rank of Corporal.[1] After his military service, he enrolled in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and earned a BA in International Relations and Political Science.[6] During his studies he was active in the student group "Kastel" associated with the Likud. Relations between Kastel and Arab student groups were tense and often deteriorated into violence. According to Maariv, based on the testimony of a witness who was a student at the time, Lieberman participated in a few of the violent clashes. Lieberman said that he was involved in two. Jamal Zahalka, an Arab Knesset member from Balad who was a student at the time and active in Arab groups, claimed that he remembers Lieberman as yelling a lot but avoiding any of the rough action.[4]
On the eve of the 2009 elections in Israel, Haaretz wrote that Lieberman was briefly involved with the Kach party of Rabbi Meir Kahane shortly after his immigration to Israel. The membership claims were based on the testimony of two activists in the movement, Avigdor Eskin and Yosef Dayan, who said that Lieberman was a member of the party for a short-term period. Lieberman rejected the story[4] and called the publication an "orchestrated provocation".[7][8] Kach was barred from participating in the election in 1988 under the revised Knesset Elections Law banning parties that incited racism and was declared a terrorist organization in 1994.[9][10]
While studying at the Hebrew University, Lieberman was busy job hunting and was given work by Tzahi Hanegbi, then a student chairman at the university, as a bouncer[11] in the student club "Shablul" (lit. snail) where he met his future wife. A year later, Lieberman was promoted to a general manager, responsible for all the activities at the club.[12] From 1983 to 1988, Lieberman helped found the Zionist Forum for Soviet Jewry and was a member of the Board of the Jerusalem Economic Corporation and the Secretary of the Jerusalem branch of the Histadrut Ovdim Le'umit ("National Workers' Union"). In 1988, he started working with Benjamin Netanyahu. From 1993 to 1996, following Netanyahu's election as party leader, Lieberman served as Director-General of the Likud party. After Netanyahu was elected Prime Minister, Lieberman served as Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office from 1996 to 1997.[6]
In 1997, Lieberman resigned from Likud after Prime Minister Netanyahu granted concessions to the Palestinians in the Wye River Memorandum, and expressed disappointment when Yisrael BaAliyah, a new immigrant's party headed by Natan Sharansky that had right-center leanings, did not quit the coalition government in protest. In 1999, Lieberman formed the Yisrael Beiteinu party to create a platform for Soviet immigrants who supported a hard line in negotiations with the Palestinians. The party ran for the Knesset during the 1999 legislative election, and ran on a joint list with Aliyah, a party formed by Michael Nudelman and Yuri Stern, who had broke away from Yisrael BaAliyah. The new party won four seats, one of which was taken by Lieberman. Lieberman served on the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and State Control Committee, and as Chairman of the Israel-Moldova Parliamentary Friendship League.[13] In March 2001, Lieberman was appointed Minister of National Infrastructure, but resigned the post in March 2002. In the 2003 legislative election, Yisrael Beiteinu ran on a joint list with the National Union. The joint list won seven seats, with Yisrael Beiteinu being alloted four of them. In February 2003, Lieberman was appointed Minister of Transport, and chose to resign from the Knesset to take a seat in the Cabinet. He maintained leadership of the party and returned to the Knesset in 2006—later, he would simultaneously serve in the Knesset and Cabinet. In May 2004, Lieberman was dismissed from the cabinet by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon due to his opposition to the Gaza disengagement,[14] and Yisrael Beiteinu left the government in June in protest of the disengagement.
In the 2006 legislative election, Lieberman's party split from the National Union to run alone. The party won eleven seats, a gain from its previous six seats. It was initially in the opposition, but after a few months, in October 2006, Lieberman and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signed a coalition agreement under which Lieberman became the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs, a newly created position with a focus towards the strategic threat from Iran.[15] In December 2006, he called Iranian nuclear proliferation "the biggest threat facing the Jewish people since the Second World War."[15] He advocated that Israel join the European Union and NATO.[16] He resigned his cabinet position and Yisrael Beiteinu left the coalition in January 2008; he cited his opposition to the resuming peace talks, saying that "Negotiations on the basis of land for peace are a critical mistake ... and will destroy us."[17] Yisrael Beiteinu, which was described at times as Lieberman's "one man's party" for its media-closed meetings and party members' reluctance to give interviews,[18] emerged as the third largest party in Israel after 2009 legislative election and on 16 March, it entered into the coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[19] Lieberman was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister.

Upon taking office as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lieberman posed a clear message against application of provisions discussed at the Annapolis Conference, which stipulated the settlement of all negotiated issues prior to their implementation in the field, adding that these discussions were never ratified by the Knesset. He noted that Israel must abide, nonetheless, by the road map for peace – which held a demand for an 'End of Palestinian violence' as a first phase for furtherance of the negotiations process—as well as by the two accompanying Tenet and Zinni documents.[20]
Lieberman had previously opposed the road map at the time of its adoption.[21] He left Ehud Olmert's government due to his opposition to the Annapolis Conference.[22] Lieberman followed his 1 April message with concerns that "[others] stand over us with a stopwatch" and that responsible and serious formulations of policy will take between one and two months.[23]
Lieberman's office stated in early April that peace talks will continue when Palestinian government officials crack down on attacks against Israelis, after which the Israeli administration will reciprocate by freezing settlement construction or expansion in the West Bank.[24] That position contradicts the Obama administration's new approach to the peace efforts, where Israel is requested to freeze all construction, including "natural growth" (i.e. "within existing construction lines")[25] regardless of Palestinian commitments.[26] The office also told U.S. special envoy George Mitchell that past negotiations did not bring any real results.[26] Lieberman himself said in April, "The situation is deadlocked, and it is not because of us".[24] He argued that a stable, successful peace effort requires Americans to focus on preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.[26]
Lieberman and Prime Minister Netanyahu both planned to broaden the PR campaign overseen by the Foreign Ministry about Iran. Part of its new campaign focuses on Tehran's abuse of human rights and sponsorship of terrorism and also aims to appeal to those, such as the gay and lesbian communities, less concerned with Iran's nuclear aspirations and more fearful of its human rights abuses and mistreatment of minorities.[27] Despite his status within the government, the Israeli police have questioned Lieberman three times from he took office to 11 April about the ongoing corruption investigation.[24]
In early May 2009, Lieberman went on a European diplomatic mission, which went through Rome, Paris, Prague, and other cities. He met with his Foreign Minister counterparts, such as Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany, and he also paid his respects at Berlin's Holocaust memorial, laying a wreath at the 19,000-square-meter monument.[28] In 4 May 2009, in a press conference in Italy, Avigdor Lieberman skirted around the issue of a Palestinian state, stating that "This government's goal is not produce slogans or make pompous declarations, but to reach concrete results," adding that the government was still in the process of formulating its foreign policy.[29] On another occasion in his trip, he stated that "Nothing is going to come out of this 'Peace Industry' except for conferences in five star Hotels and a waste of money".[28] Generally speaking, the diplomatic mission was private and subject to restricted news coverage.[28]
On 7 May, Yediot Ahronot stated that Lieberman was appointed the minister in charge of strategic dialogue with the U.S.[30] On 17 June, he appeared in a joint press conference with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in his first official visit to the U.S. Lieberman clashed with Clinton over the issue of Israeli settlements, with Lieberman dismissing her call to end settlement expansion. Financial Times described the meeting as "one of the most tense encounters between the sides for several years".[31] Clinton also rejected Lieberman's assertion that the Bush administration had agreed to further building in the West Bank. Israel National News stated afterward that Lieberman and Prime Minister Netanyahu both have the same position of settlement expansion and for retaining Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.[32]
In September 2009, Lieberman toured Africa to meet leaders and donate humanitarian aid, along with businessmen and officials from the Foreign Ministry, Finance Ministry, Defense Ministry, and National Security Council in an attempt to strengthen economic and trade ties and discuss the issue of the Iranian nuclear program.[33] As part of his policy to create more diplomatic openings for Israel, Lieberman also sought to strengthen ties with countries in Eastern and Central Europe. In a 2011 interview, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Lieberman had opened important places where Israel had never really had diplomatic opening to before.[34]
Lieberman and his wife Ella (née Tzipkin) have one daughter and two sons. They live in the Israeli settlement of Nokdim, located in the Judean Desert of the West Bank, where they have resided since 1988.[1] He has said that, despite having lived there for so long, he is willing to vacate his house in a peace agreement.[35]
He speaks Russian, Romanian, Hebrew and English.
According to Lieberman, "The peace process is based on three false basic assumptions; that Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main cause of instability in the Middle East, that the conflict is territorial and not ideological, and that the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders will end the conflict."[36]
In late May 2004, Lieberman proposed a plan in which the populations and territories of Israeli Jews and Arabs, including some Israeli Arabs, would be "separated." According to the plan, also known as the "Populated-Area Exchange Plan," Israeli Arab towns adjacent to Palestinian Authority areas would be transferred to Palestinian Authority, and only those Arab Israelis who migrated from the area to within Israel's new borders and pledged loyalty to Israel would be allowed to remain Israeli citizens. On 30 May 2004, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon condemned Lieberman's statements, stating "We regard Israeli Arabs as part of the State of Israel."[37] On 4 June 2004, as the disputes over the up-coming disengagement plan grew more intense, Sharon dismissed Lieberman from the cabinet.[38][39]
After the 2009 Israeli elections, Lieberman said he changed his mind in recent years and decided to support the creation of a Palestinian state. He wrote in a letter to The Jewish Week that he "advocates the creation of a viable Palestinian state," and told The Washington Post that he would agree to the evacuation of Nokdim "if there really will be a two-state solution". He explained in the Knesset that "reality changes" and that his shift had occurred over the last few years.[40] In his The Jewish Week article, Lieberman tried to explain his party's "no loyalty – no citizenship" campaign by writing: "During Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, I was appalled by the calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and for renewed suicide bombings that some Israeli Arab leaders called for at pro-Hamas rallies. Although 'responsible citizenship' had always been part of our platform, I realized that this was a burning issue that had to take top priority."[41] He explained his "responsible citizenship" platform and compared his position to the express policy of nations around the world, saying: "In the U.S., those requesting a Green Card must take an oath that they will fulfill the rights and duties of citizenship.".[42]
Lieberman supports Israeli membership in the European Union and NATO.[43] He considers Iran a serious threat to Israel, but initially came out in favor of further political/economic sanctions and opposed a military strike, saying that he cannot imagine the implications of armed action.[35] However, Haaretz later reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak persuaded Lieberman to switch sides and support an attack.[44]
While his party is sometimes described as doctrinally secular and aiming to reduce the role of the rabbinical system in government by the news media,[45] it actually supports the continuation of the role of Orthodox rabbinical courts, but wants more nationally minded religious people, rather than the ultra-orthodox, in charge.[46] It does not advocate introducing civil marriage within Israeli law, but rather to find a solution to some of those who cannot marry under such laws.[45] It does not advocate a separation of religion and state in Israeli society.[46]
A large number of mass media sources within and outside of Israel have labelled Yisrael Beiteinu and Lieberman as far right[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] or ultra-nationalist.[48][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] Others consider him right wing or a populist.[62][65][66][67][68] However, in general, Israelis are divided on how to characterize Lieberman's politics.[69][70][71]
Yisrael Beiteinu has shown support for a two-state solution and were also noted for a secularist approach upon leading new legislation for civil marriage in Israel as well as pushing for some relaxation in the conversion process. Several commentators, however, noted that these positions do not coincide with the party's platform.[72][73][74] These positions which are contradictory to the tradition of right wing politics in Israel[75][76] had been explained by Gershom Gorenberg as that following the Six Day War, opinions were split regarding the occupied territory, where being right-wing meant a position of holding onto the territory while being left-wing addressed a high level of willingness to give that territory away. He notes Lieberman to not be a right-winger by those terms as he's talking about giving occupied lands as well as land from sovereign Israel.[77]
A polarizing figure within Israeli politics, Lieberman is quoted as saying, "I've always been controversial because I offer new ideas. For me to be controversial, I think this is positive."[15] Lieberman has called to redraw the border between Israel and the West Bank so that Israel would include large Jewish settlement blocs and the Palestinian state would include large Arab-Israeli population centers. He proposed that Israel's citizens should sign a loyalty oath or lose their right to vote.
In November 2006, Lieberman, who described Arab members of the Knesset that meet with Hamas as "terror collaborators", called for their execution: "World War II ended with the Nuremburg Trials. The heads of the Nazi regime, along with their collaborators, were executed. I hope this will be the fate of the collaborators in [the Knesset]."[78]
The comment was attacked as racist by Eitan Cabel, a Labor party representative, and Ahmad Tibi, leader of the Arab party Ta'al and one-time advisor to Yasser Arafat, who demanded that, "a criminal investigation be initiated against Lieberman for violating the law against incitement and racism".[78][79] Tibi strongly objected to Lieberman's ministerial appointment, describing him as "a racist and a fascist". Labour minister Ophir Pines-Paz, who resigned over Lieberman's appointment, echoed Tibi's remarks, saying that Lieberman was tainted "by racist declarations and declarations that harm the democratic character of Israel".[80]
In remarks in the Knesset in March 2008, shortly after the 6 March attack at Jerusalem's Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, Lieberman commented that "yesterday's attack can not be disconnected from the Arab MKs incitement, which we hear daily in the Knesset."[81] Directing his comments at Arab MKs whose comments Lieberman describes as anti-Israel incitement, he added that "a new administration will be established and then we will take care of you."[82]
In 1998, news reports stated that Lieberman suggested the bombing of the Aswan Dam in retaliation for Egyptian support for Yasser Arafat.[83][84] In 2001, reports stated that he told a group of ambassadors from the Former Soviet Union that if Egypt and Israel were ever to face off militarily again, that Israel could bomb the Aswan Dam.[19][85]
Since the signing of the Egyptian–Israeli Peace Treaty, which followed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Israel, multiple Israeli heads of state have visited Egypt on numerous occasions. However, Sadat's successor, Hosni Mubarak, visited Israel only once—for Yitzhak Rabin's funeral in 1995[86]—since he assumed the Presidency in 14 October 1981 and has never participated in talks on Israeli soil. In 2008, while on the Knesset speaker's podium during its memorial for Rehavam Ze'evi, Lieberman raised the issue and said, "Mubarak never agreed to come here as president. He wants to talk to us? Let him come here. He doesn't want to talk to us? He can go to hell."[87]
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres immediately apologized to the Egyptians. Lieberman accused the two of them of acting like "a battered wife". He explained his belief that the President and Prime Minister were wrong to ask forgiveness from Mubarak in that Egypt had provoked Israel just days earlier by identifying Israel as the enemy in a massive military exercise and that caricatures in the Egyptian media are akin to Nazi propaganda.[87]
After Netanyahu began his term as Prime Minister in March 2009, government aides met with Egyptian officials and told them that Lieberman's role should not be a reason for tension between the two countries.[85] News reports had previously been issued claiming that Egypt would not work with the Netanyahu administration unless Lieberman personally apologized.[88][89] The administration labeled them "inaccurate and out of all proportion".[88] On 9 April, Mubarak invited Netanyahu to meet with him personally in Sharm e-Sheikh.[89] Unofficial channels for discussion are also reportedly being considered.[90]
During a meeting with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman in April 2009, Lieberman made an attempt at an apology, expressing "his respect and appreciation for Egypt's leading role in the region and his personal respect for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Minister Suleiman".[91]
On 21 August, Lieberman said that it is important for Israel to make sure that the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty is upheld, and not to remain silent as Egyptian military forces enter the Sinai. Concern was raised by Israeli officials over Egyptian failure to notify Israel about the deployment of tanks in the Sinai, which violates the peace treaty. Lieberman said, "We must make sure that every detail is upheld, otherwise we'll find ourselves in a slippery slope as far as the peace treaty is concerned."[92]
On 28 August, Lieberman invited Egyptian President Morsi to visit Israel, after being encouraged by Morsi'is statements in late August that the Israel-Egypt peace treaty was secure. Lieberman said, "We certainly hope to see Morsi hosting official Israeli representatives soon; we want to see him giving interviews to Israeli media; we want to see him in Jerusalem as President (Shimon) Peres' guest."[93]
Following a series of attacks on Israelis perpetrated by Palestinian militants during a three-day period in March 2002, Lieberman proposed issuing an ultimatum to the Palestinian National Authority to halt all militant activity or face wide-ranging attacks. He said, "if it were up to me I would notify the Palestinian Authority that tomorrow at ten in the morning we would bomb all their places of business in Ramallah, for example."[94][95] This led Foreign Minister Shimon Peres to respond that excessive military measures could lead to accusations of war crimes[94] and that the Israeli administration must not "escalate the situation".[96]
In July 2003, reacting to a commitment made by Ariel Sharon to the US, where amnesty could be given to approximately 350 Palestinian prisoners including members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Lieberman rejected a chance to participate in the related committee and said "It would be better to drown these prisoners in the Dead Sea if possible, since that's the lowest point in the world,"[97][98][99] Lieberman continued, according to Galei Tzahal ('Israel Army Radio'), stating his willingness, as Minister of Transport, to supply buses to take the prisoners there.[100] Lieberman's suggestion also led to confrontation between Lieberman and Arab-Israeli MKs Ahmed Tibi (Hadash-Ta'al), Jamal Zahalka (Balad), Taleb el-Sana, Abdelmalek Dahamsha (United Arab List) as well as opposition leader Shimon Peres.[101]
In January 2009, during the Gaza War, Lieberman argued that Israel "must continue to fight Hamas just like the United States did with the Japanese in World War II. Then, too, the occupation of the country was unnecessary."[102] This threat was been interpreted by some media commentators, including Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as an allusion to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and as advocacy for a nuclear strike on Gaza.[6][103][104][105][106]
In 2011, Lieberman became the first Foreign Minister to sever ties with the Mossad.[107]
Some of Lieberman's connections with local and foreign businessmen are currently under police investigation. Lieberman allegedly received millions of shekels from various entrepreneurs while serving as member of Knesset; under Israeli law, MKs are not allowed to receive any payment beyond their salary. One claim is that Michael Cherney paid a company called Path to the East large amounts of money between the years 1999 and 2006, and that these sums were then allegedly passed on to Lieberman as a bribe. Other allegations concern a company called M.L.1, founded by Lieberman's daughter Michal when she was 21.[108] These allegations concern money transferred to M.L.1 from unknown sources outside Israel; the money was later allegedly used for paying salaries to Avigdor and Michal Lieberman.[109] Lieberman is also under investigation for receiving a bribe from Austrian-Jewish businessman Martin Schlaff.[110]
Lieberman denies all allegations of wrongdoing in these cases, and claims that the police are conspiring against him. In particular, he has pointed to the proximity of his investigation to the 2009 Israeli elections and said that such investigations are "part of my routine before every parliamentary election."[109] Allegations of bias on the part of the police have also been reported in Arutz Sheva, a right-wing Israeli news outlet, which reported that the investigation, which had been "ongoing for years, suddenly became active again once [Lieberman] left the government" in January 2008.[111]
On 2 April 2009, Lieberman was questioned by police on suspicion of corruption for at least seven hours at the national squad headquarters in central Israel. It was part of an ongoing investigation examining his business dealings. Lieberman denied all allegations. He claimed the investigation has been dragged out, and had filed a petition to the court requesting a speedy process.[112]
On 24 May 2010 the Israeli Police recommended Lieberman's indictment for Breach of Trust, regarding the suspected receipt of classified information concerning ongoing criminal investigations into his activities. Former ambassador to Belarus, Ze'ev Ben Aryeh was also recommended for indictment.[113] On 13 April 2011, the State Prosecutor's Office announced that it had decided to charge Lieberman with fraud, money laundering, breach of trust and witness tampering.[114] The hearing has been set for 17–18 January 2012.[115]
On 24 September 2001, Lieberman acknowledged in the Jerusalem District Court that he attacked a twelve-year-old youth from Tekoa, who had hit his son. The incident occurred in December, 1999 in the Nokdim settlement. His son told him that three boys hit him. Lieberman located one of the boys in a trailer and hit him in the face. After the boy fell and was injured, Lieberman grabbed him by the shirt-collar and arm, took him back to his home in Tekoa and threatened that he would attack him again if he returned to Nokdim.[116][117] He was charged with assaulting and threatening him. Lieberman was convicted based on his own confession in the context of a plea bargain. His attorney asked the judges, in the context of the arrangement, to restrict his punishment to a fine amid the defendant's promise that he will not commit such an act in the future. The judge ultimately ruled that Lieberman must pay the child a compensation of 10,000 NIS, and an additional fine of 7,500 NIS.
Many commentators, including Arab Israeli groups, have accused Lieberman of Anti-Arabism. Christoph Schult in Der Spiegel noted that Lieberman is reputed to be a "virulent racist".[118] M.J. Rosenberg in the LA Times characterized Lieberman's election campaign as "frankly anti-Arab".[119] Daphna Baram in The Guardian called him an "arch racist".[120] Richard Cohen in the Washington Post noted that while Lieberman a "nationalist" he was also an "anti-Arab demagogue".[121] Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism called Lieberman's campaign "an outrageous, abominable, hate-filled campaign, brimming with incitement that, if left unchecked, could lead Israel to the gates of hell." [122] Martin Peretz editor-in-chief of The New Republic, a passionate Zionist and critic of the peace movement, called Lieberman "neo-fascist ... a certified gangster ... the Israeli equivalent of Jörg Haider" [123] During the 2009 campaign, Meretz released an internal memo comparing Lieberman to "Jean-Marie Le Pen in France, Haider in Austria, and Zhirinovsky in Russia" [124]
Party officials are denying the charges, saying that they have been falsely stigmatized.[125]
