NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The country music world reacted with deep emotion upon learning of the death of legendary singer George Jones. Here's a sampling of quotes and tweets about Jones:
In this Sept. 12, 2006 file photo, Country music legend George Jones waves to the crowd during his 75th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006.

Jones died Friday, April 26, 2013 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville after being hospitalized with fever and irregular blood pressure, according to his publicist Kirt Webster.(AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, file)

"The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time. Amen." — Merle Haggard
"He was a true innovator. Nobody could sing like George Jones. Everyone who could imitate him did. I wrote and recorded a song, "Bartender's Blues," as a tribute and, in an instance of life-imitating-art, George recorded it and asked me to harmonize. It was the second dream come true of my career. He was easy and kind and I'll never forget him. Luckily, he recorded a lot of music; so he'll always be with us..." — James Taylor
"We're just going to miss George so much. This came as a total shock to me ... and to the whole music industry. It's going to be a big void not having George out there. But you know we've got his music and that music will last forever. He did a lot of crazy things in his career, and no matter how crazy he got everybody still loved him. That's just the kind of guy that George was. We're just going to miss him. It's a sad day for the music business, for sure." — George Strait
"Well, heaven better get ready for some great country music. While George was known for his wild and crazy days, I've known him for 25 years as a friend. He had grown into a real good man. Of course, he will always be the greatest singer and interpreter of real country music - there'll never be another. — Alan Jackson
"The greatest voice to ever grace country music will never die. Jones has a place in every heart that ever loved any kind of music." — Garth Brooks
"The greatest country blues singer to ever live." — Ronnie Dunn
"It's a sad day for country music and a great loss for those of us who knew him. I was blessed to call George my friend. He was one of the best country singers there ever was. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Nancy, and all of his family. It's a sad, sad day." — Loretta Lynn
"My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world. My heart goes out to Nancy and all his family and friends." — Dolly Parton
"George Jones and I happen to share the same birthday. The first and only time I met him (which I believe was at the Opry if my memory serves me), I told him that. His response, 'You must be trouble.' Takes one to know one, I am so proud to say. George, his music and his mischievous trouble, will all be missed. He is a country legend." — Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland
"I believe if you ask any singer who was the greatest country music singer of all time, they would say 'George Jones'. He was without question and by far the BEST! I first met and worked with him when I was 13 years old; I am so very grateful that he was my friend." — Barbara Mandrell
"If I'm blessed enough to make it there, I look forward to you giving me the grand tour. Rest in peace George Jones!!!!!" — Keith Urban via Twitter

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
As I type this, Microsoft is announcing two new slider cell phones, the Kin One and Kin Two -- successors to the beloved but aging-faster-than-Mickey-Rourke T-Mobile Sidekick.
These are apparently the culmination of the long-rumored, until-now-entirely-vaporous, Project Pink, code-named Turtle and Pure, sometimes also known as the Zune Phone. When your phones have more aliases than a CIA operative, that's probably not a good sign. But I digress.
[ Stay up on tech news and reviews from your smartphone at infoworldmobile.com. | See which smartphone is right for you in our mobile "deathmatch" calculator. ]
I can't tell you how excited I am. I can't tell you -- because I'm about to slide into a walking coma.
It's not really Microsoft's fault. It's an industrial malady, a contagion that has picked up strength and virality over the last three years. I call it Smartphone Fatigue. It's like Epstein-Barr, only more enervating: "Gee. Another whizzy new cell phone. You say it does multitouch and pinch zoom, and I can tweet in my sleep? God, please take me now."
Remember, last year the Palm Pre and the WebOS were all the rage. The Pre was finally going to end the iPhone's domination of media hype, if not actual smartphone sales. Now the rumors are raging that Palm is about to be sold off to the highest bidder, most likely one of its smartphone competitors. (See ya later Palm, it was nice while it lasted. You'll always have a place in my heart.)
Then, of course, there were the Droid, the Cliq, and the Nexus. Android phones were going to change our lives in ways we could not imagine (and, frankly, still can't). Then Microsoft made a bid for our gadget-lusting hearts by teasing us with tantalizing glimpses of the Windows Phone 7 Series, which might actually arrive before Windows 8 shows up -- maybe. Then Apple had an announcement or two -- the exact nature of it escapes me -- something to do with pads?
And now: Pink -- er, Turtle. I mean Kin.
So Kin One and Kin Two. First thought: Why not go the whole Dr. Seuss route and name them Thing One and Thing Two? I think Microsoft missed a big market opportunity there.
OK, back to the phones. They're ... phones. They have slide-out keyboards. The Kin One ("Turtle") is closer in size to a BlackBerry, while Kin Two ("Pure") has a full QWERTY keyboard, a la the LG Rumor and a gazillion others.
Also: They're all about socialism -- I mean, social networking. The Kin interface is supposed to weave all your social/online activity into one seamless experience. If that sounds vaguely familiar, it's because that's what the Cliq's Motorola Blur interface also does -- unless that was really the Droid.
Hence the Kin Website, filled with photos of twentysomethings acting like hormonally crazed simpletons. (Sorry, that's just my Smartphone Fatigue talking. Let me crack open another can of Red Bull and readjust.) In other words, this is not your father's satellite phone, and probably not yours either.
The intro text on the Kin Website: "The impulsive. The spontaneous. The wonderful."
My translation: "The annoying. The self-absorbed. The unemployed."
The bad news? No app store. No Flash support. The good: No sign of Windows whatsoever -- these phones are based on the Zune browser interface, so they have that going for them.
The Kins will be available from Verizon sometime this May. I bet you can't wait. I know I can't. Because my life just hasn't changed enough yet this year. If I don't get a new life-altering gadget every few weeks, I might shrivel up and die.
How about you -- tired of smartphones yet? Longing for your boring old landline? E-mail me: email@example.com.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

TBO is Gonna Get You
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
As Aleksey Vorobyov said,
I'm coming to get you.
I expect someone other than SRR and TBO to win WC gold.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I highly doubt Sanya is going to run as conservatively as she did in the Olympic final next year. If she's in shape, I expect her to run under 49.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
She has done that how often in the past couple of years?
What exactly does TBO stand for anyway?
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Who is a "early season" contender:
Amantle Montsho - world Christine Ohuruogu and SSR I think proved sthey are better when it matters
Antonina Krivoshapka becoming a serial choker, her tactics make a young SSR look the model of restraint. However hse has the potential
Yuliya Gushchina Antonina but done it for longer
ALison Felix - I don't think she will return to the 400m considering how it messed up her 200m and how much more success doubling with the 100m was for her Olympic dream.
Other outsiders who might make an impact:
Francena McCorory (should be getting better)
DeeDee Trotter (A bit late in the day)
Moa Hjelmer (European champion and developing quickly in a country known for getting the most of of their elite athletes)
Alina Lohvynenko (These Ukrainian girls are starting to make a big impact on T&F)
Kseniya Ustalova - The newest 400m Russian beauty. Poor 2012 might motivate her further. Started the indoor well.
Ksenia Zadorina (Anotehr Russian newbie'ish who cna step-up)
Emily Diamond - Britains newest 400m runner, only started last year after beig a 200m runner.
Those Jamaican girls.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
She has NEVER run under 49 at a championships i don't know why she would start doing so next year
MAybe with her new race strategy and racing plan TBO will be running under 49 anyway She's certainly worth low 49's
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
You're right mump, she only ran 49.00.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I understand the fact that TBO's strategy worked for her in 07 and 08, but did it really take until just recently for her to realize that her race plan wasn't sure-fire?
I do hope this change in race plan will yield some consistently fast times from her this season
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
i usually am
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Sanya has never run a season's best (let alone a PB) at a championships.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Technically she has. Her 49.00 in the Berlin WC final was a season best until she went on to run her 2 sub 49s at the end of the season
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
But CO has never run low 49. Why would she start doing so?
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Have you bothered to read the premise of this whole thread ?
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
If you mean her changing her racing tactics, question still stands as a direct response to your statement on SRR.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Have you bothered to read the premise of this whole thread ? [/quote]
If you mean her changing her racing tactics, question still stands as a direct response to your statement on SRR.[/quote]
Because CO has changed / is changing her tactics and SRR isn't?
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
In all honestly do you believe TBO will beat a healthy SRR, she has surpassed her "choking days" and is oozing with confidence after the OG'S expect big things from her this year such as a new AR, sub 22 and sub 11 again!!!
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Because she has nothing to lose now. She has Olympic gold and bronze, and World Champs gold and silver. Whatever her 200 split was in her 49.28 performance last year, she'll go at least a half-second faster. She'll run as close to 23.0 in the first 200 (if not faster) to bring the AR down where no one can touch it. She can afford to throw caution completely to the wind now, even at the risk of falling off the World Champs medal platform, because she already has a championship there and she has her Olympic gold.
I hope Allyson runs the 400 again this year. Time for Big O. to take down the U.K. NR (49.42). She's got Olympic and World Champs gold, but the NR eludes her.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Only if Sanya and Big O. play truth-or-dare for NRs, and all that running in the heats cramps their all-or-nothing efforts in the final. If they blow their tires and Allyson runs, Allyson will win. If Allyson is not in the race, I think Francena McCorory will be the big surprise.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Lets be honest in this debate. We nether how much better TBO (I still don't know exactly what that means BTW ) will get. I say better because given her injuries and the fact she only tried her new approach without training and got better rapidly. We also don't know what SRRs motivation will be like now she achieved her dream and what distraction her reality TV stuff will be like and how much she will put into the 200m running, the combo of the 400m/200m wreaked Felix in 2011, it's not an easy double to have success in. The only thing I'm fairly sure of is Sanya won't risk dropping a sub-49 in a championship final and blowing up and Ohuruoghu has better times in her.
This of course makes their rivalary exciting, too many new variables to determine who will come out on top this year, to many unknowns to be sure of anything and it could go either way. One thing I will say is I believe the World Champions will be between Christine and Sanya if both are fit and healthy. I don't think Montsho is the big championship calliber of those two.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
So your saying Sanya couldn't have run a 48.99 in Berlin?

Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
She ran 49.00 though....
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Point is she clearly ran a sub 49 second RACE.
eldanielfile is giving the impression that she would die and risk losing if she ran a 48s race because of her pre 2009 tactics.
Its like Bolt in Beijing, or Mo in Edmonton...Yea their times are set in stone, but everyone knows their races were worth more if they didn't celebrate or get hurt respectively...
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
It's short for The Big O.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
It's about risk, not ability though. It's not a case of "she could if she wants too", it's a case of "If she tries it she might blow up and lose to gain absolutely nothing of importance". She isn't likley to run a world record at the moment so times are irrevelant in Championships, it's all about getting gold.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
A passionate debate as always from two athletes who have been controversial in the success and failure.
The 400m is still a sprint event and if Christine can drop her 100/200m PBs this season, significantly, I think going out harder might bring her more success. I read that she is racing more this year which means she could test out a new race plan in Diamond League races with increased pressure and competition.
That said, SRR still has the edge as her speed is that much better and she now has the Olympic Gold to complete her set of medals. I'd love to see her just run the 200m so see what's she is capable of but I think she'll double again.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
What the heck is the meaning of "she's certainly worth low 49s", nonsensical phrase.TBO aint a piece of pottery or a painting!!
In track and field you have achieved or you have not achieved a specific time , espececially after 6 years at the top with OG Gold and Silver... being "worth" some time is a meaningless concept.... Does Mump think she WILL run under 49 or WILL run low 49s, if so, for goodness sake say so... but then sitting on the fence with "can" or "may" or "is capable of" is so much easier than a firm prediction
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Of course the differences in their style is interesting, SSR is more speed dependent and it's possible her speed will be on the decline in the next few years, TBO is more an even paced runner with tons of Speed endurance. When they hit their 30's I would expect Christine to be able to consistently run the 400m faster than Sanya regardless, it's just a case of when will Richards-Ross speed start declining enough? Will it be soon or in a couple of years.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
For someone whose speed might decline in the next few years, the recent trend is rather different.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Sanya could conceivably maintain her top level in the 400 for the rest of this decade. Highly likely that she'll lose her mojo in the 100 and 200 before age starts to cramp her ability to break 50.00...
...That is, assuming you use Jarmila Kratochvílová as a benchmark to determine Sanya's longevity in the 400. Kratochvílová ran 47.99/1:53.28 at age 32, in a year (1983) when she could only muster 22.40.
There might come a point where Sanya might have trouble breaking 22.50, but a 23.7 opening split in the 400 will become even more comfortable for her. If I'm not mistaken, Jearl Miles-Clark never broke 23.00 in the 200, but her 400 PR was 49.40 (1997). She was almost 31 then, and she ran 49.98 a month short of her 33rd birthday. Sanya will be in good shape for the rest of this decade.
What is Big O's 200 PR? Assuming she has yet to break 22.80, getting even closer to 49.00 (or at least the U.K. NR) could be a much bigger burden for her with regard to the second-half of her race.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I always preferred TBOs approach in 2008 when she ran 100s and 200s and came into Beijing as a bit of an enigma. Firstly it means she's focused and practiced on speed and secondly it leaves the other women guessing. When she competes on the circuit she shows her hand and the other women know they can beat her. But when she doesn't run 400s they will be wondering about her.
SRR has had a long time at the top of elite 400m running going back to 2004 and that is unusual at that distance. She has to be in the wane soon but she probably still has a couple of years at the top. In the last 2 Olympics and 3 world champs TBO has 2 golds and a silver and SRR has 2 golds and a bronze so they have dominated the big meets between them.
You would think that being in Moscow one of the Russian women has to be a potential gold medalist but there will also be the defending champ in Montsho, a more relaxed SRR with no demons and a focused TBO in what could be her last season.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
It's 22.85
She's ran 60m and 200m at uk trials this weekend in 7.58 (pb 7.39) and 23.58 which is faster than she's run outdoors since 2009 when she ran then quite frequently early season
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
But it doesn't really make any difference what the women think or know...because when it comes to the Championships, she is always entirely ready. She was an enigma back in 08, sure, but as we all seem to bang on about every time a Championships rolls around, it is only a complete fool who writes off The Big O at a Games- and I really don't think many of the women will ever do that again, no matter what happens on the circuit...
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I think the idea that she is always a Championship performer is a little over hyped. Yes she usually runs her best at championships, but she hasn't always performed well.
2007, 2008, and 2012 were her great years
2004, 2005, 2009, and 2011 were not...
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
She has run a pb or SB at every championships she has ever run at apart from 11 when she was DQ'd
In 04, at 20, she ran 50.50 at the OG, in 05 her main aim was the Euro under 23, she came 2nd by .01 to Olga Zaytzeva in a SB, In 06 she won the CWG in a PB of 50.28 in 09 she was injured but ran 50.22 for 5th.
You don't always have to wins a medal to perform well !!
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
CO is an Olympic and World Champion, not a small time athlete. In terms of achievements and performance at the major meets were talking SRR, Williams-Darling, Ana Guevara comparable.
I see CO is in the position of If she does well its a huge success and praise, if she does average or below, its not a surprise because her runs during the season usually never indicate anything special to come.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
Nine of her ten best times at 400m have all been achieved in major championships and the other one was achieved at the World Athletics Final. This is a record you cannot argue with and one very few athletes can match.
2004 was pretty much Ohuruogu's first year as a full-time athlete after focusing on netball and she dropped her PB from outside 54sec down to 50.50 in the Olympics (and 50.98 just before the Games). Ohuruogu's focus in 2005 was the European Under-23 Champs and she set her season's best in the final before anchoring Britain to a medal in the 4x400m final at the World Champs. She was injured in 2009 but still lowered her season's best from 51.14 down to 50.35 in the SF and 50.21 in the final which surpassed most people's expectation.
2011 wasn't her best year but that's, what, one year in the past 8-9y where she hasn't performed.
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I never understand why people discount TBO. She's the consummate championships performer, she's NEVER underperformed at a major games (bar the DQ) and you can bet your bottom dollar that the 400m girls all recognise the threat she poses when she lines up healthy...
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I always thought that CO's success was based primarily on two things:
1) She peaks to perfection (never leaves her best racing on the circuit);
2) She paces her race to perfection with relatively even-paced running.
Sounds like she may be messing with perfection. That said, she needs to somehow find fresh motivation, so good luck to her. I always felt that she had got closer to her her absolute potential than any other British athlete and I can't see her ever breaking 49.5. In terms of pure ability I don't think she's even the best British 400 runner of her generation - Nicola Sanders should have gone quicker in 2007.
To pull her new race strategy off presumably she will need to get a lot quicker over 200. In the past, she may have gone through 200 half a second or more behind SRR but in doing so she was probably as close to her 200 pb as SRR was. Can she get quicker however without messing with her training and losing some of her strength?
Can anyone think of 400 flat runner who has successfully changed tactics relatively late in their career?
Re: TBO is Gonna Get You
I think it's a brave move but, to be honest, she's achieved everything she wants to apart from the super fast times- so why not shake it up a bit and see what happens? It may not work but she's got a couple of seasons to try it out before she needs to think about having a crack at Rio. I'm really excited by the approach, though- she seems a different athlete this past year in terms of her effort and dedication. I wonder how much of that had to do with the injuries and realising just what it all meant to her...

(It probably has something to do with the dapper oversized fit.) Boyfriend fit.Cotton.Machine wash.Import. Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 173 reviewers. Rated 5 out of 5 by quartzbaby dressed up or down--perfect! I am so glad I got this shirt....it truly is the perfect denim wash, can be both casual, thrown over a tank/tee or tucked into high-waisted black jeans with heels to spiff it up. Like so many things Madewell, I purchased this to replace a much-loved denim shirt that I owned for a decade. When the question comes up, "Where will I ever find one I love as much as this one?'...most times the answer is Madewell. That's saying something, right there. March 30, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by scone Love It Truth to tell, I had to send it back for a size large (I had ordered the medium due to the reviews which said how huge it runs). The medium did fit me, but in order to get the boyfriend fit I wanted, I decided to exchange it for the large, which is my usual size in Madewell clothing. The color and fabric seemed very satisfactory, though, and, as I am still waiting for my large size shirt to arrive, I can't wait to wear it a lot this Spring. March 29, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jules203 Love I have several chambray shirts from jcrew & madewell but, I LOVE this one. It's longer in the back which is great and the sleeves are long too. A few of my jcrew ones the sleeves are too short and can only be worn rolled...but this shirt looks great either way :) I'm 5"7 and 110 and the small fits great March 27, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by GIJane THE color to get I would wear this every day if I could. I usually prefer darker colors, but the fade on this is unique, and pairs well with everything. I was surprised to discover that despite the light color, this hides stains well, at least coffee stains. For reference, I'm on the petite side 5'2'', 100 lbs and ordered the XS. I was able to wear this shirt until I was 7 months pregnant and afterwards, it was the perfect shirt for that post-preg belly. For my frame, it's slightly more oversized than on the model pictured, but still looks great and is so comfortable. If this came in petite or xxs, I might also consider getting it so I could get the fit as shown on the model. If you can only get one chambray, this is it. March 24, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by Ji0er Comfortable staple Button ups are my favorite things and I have been looking for the "perfect chambray" shirt for a while as my other ones are either too boxy or not flattering. This one is appropriately named and I wear it often because it is exactly what I've been looking for - a nice fit, interesting wash, and goes with everything. March 11, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by foxlady Great fit and color Very comfortable and casual chambray shirt. I imagine that the more I wash it, the softer it will become. I've purchased several chambray/denim shirts from Madewell, and they are always awesome and versatile. The light wash on this shirt is perfect for Spring. The only thing that surprised me a bit was how long the back of the shirt is, however, it didn't really bother me. March 8, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by lindsaybei Great shirt! I'm literally wearing the shirt as I write the review (this was unplanned, I swear). It's a great, faded color, not quite as washed out as the photos make it appear. It was a bit stiff at first but has gotten softer as I've washed/worn it. I'm 5'4'', 115 lb and the size XS fits perfectly in the shoulders with a nice, loose boy-style cut. March 7, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by stillpecan versatile and stylish shirt! I got this shirt on sale. Definitely worth every penny! Very stylish and can be dressed up and down. Goes with almost everything. I am 5'8" 135lb and usually a Medium (or size 6) in Madewell sweaters (tops), but the small in this fits perfectly and has that loose look. I want a second one, but the darker one is sold out by now... February 15, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by travelingfairy714 comfy and versatile! I love this shirt - it's great for dressing up or down. February 1, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by yb12 super comfortable and versatile great purchase, goes with anything, super comfortable, a bit expensive for a button down, but luckily i will get a lot of use out of it. sizing is true, no need to get a size up, this fits loose without looking sloppy.

—Government label for Daniel Ellsberg after he released Pentagon Papers, revealing U.S. lies and deceptions during the Vietnam War.
America's government under President Obama has become a Surveillance State with its National Security Agency spying at home and abroad.
Before whistleblower Edward Snowden was recently granted asylum in Russia, Attorney General Eric Holder declared that Russian President Putin should turn him over to the United States because fears of torture and execution were groundless.
It's a sad reflection that America has to tell the world that it is a decent nation, not like those torturers and executioners in other countries.
Obama was so incensed by Putin's decision that he canceled Moscow talks. But many Americans and much of the world were thankful for Snowden's disclosures.
The New York Times pointed out "the national security apparatus has metastasized into a vast and unchecked exercise in government secrecy and the overzealous prosecution of those who breach it."
Snowden released the documents because he refused to allow "the U.S. government to destroy privacy and basic liberties." His view got scant support in the corporate media.
David Gregory of NBC's "Meet the Press" considered Snowden a criminal for leaking classified national security material. (Leaking is a crime only to the secrecy-obsessed government that classifies 92 million documents a year.) Jeffrey Toobin, New Yorker columnist, blasted Snowden as "a grandiose narcissist who deserves to be in prison."
Washington politicians weighed in, declaring that Snowden committed the ultimate crime by revealing how broadly the government is collecting phone and Internet records of Americans. The huffing was non-partisan. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said: "He's a traitor." Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein said: "it's an act of treason."
Meanwhile, another whistleblower, Private First Class Bradley Manning, faces a lifetime in prison.
A military court pronounced him guilty of violating the Espionage Act, a World War I law that President Nixon resurrected for his vendetta against Ellsberg. It called Manning's release of 700,000 documents one of the greatest betrayals in U.S. history. In other words, a Benedict Arnold!
The truth is Manning, who revealed the extent of spying on the American people and even worldwide diplomats, is a scapegoat for illegal U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As media observer Noam Chomsky put it: "Manning is a hero. He is letting people know what their government is doing in secret. "
A U.N. special report on torture noted that U.S treatment of Manning was "cruel, inhuman and degrading." The San Francisco Chronicle said: "The military treatment of Manning has been shocking, the Obama administration's prosecution odious."
It was indeed. After his arrest in 2010 Manning was isolated in the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia, awakened every five minutes during the day and made to stand at attention naked at night.
Yet Obama, the nation's peerless leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, assured Americans that such treatment was for Manning's own good. It's shameful when the nation has a president with bestial values.
The fact is that military "justice" is injustice. Manning endured a show trial.
He was morally right to expose war crimes. Under international law he had an obligation to do so. The Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Charter support him.
Manning is an honest, earnest young man. His dog tag proclaims his cause: "humanity."

Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Good location, renovated clean room and good food! – The rooms are very modern and contemporary decor and the location superb. We stayed its newly renovated room and the room was very nice with fantastic river view. The hotel is located next to the marina and downtown area. The only downside was a small amount of construction going on (because its renovation), Onsite dining was affordable and tasty.
Overall a great stay and we would definately stay there again.
very overpriced hotel – The hotel room was small and smelled like ciggarettes. When I complained to the front desk, they said all the rooms were nonsmoking. There was stains on the carpet and the sink of the bathroom. I woke at 7am due to the construction in the room next to mine. They have a complimentary breakfast buffet, but it was absolutely terrible. Literally, the only good thing about this hotel is the location.

Scott and Michele Groth want to fully fund state college tuition for their daughters Casey, 17, and Sydney, 12.
At age 58 both can start collecting pensions worth about half their current pay, plus cost-of-living increases.
Since Scott is a federal employee, they will also get low-cost retirement health care benefits. All that's on top of the $315,000 they've saved in retirement accounts.
But there's a big hitch: The Groths want to fully fund state college tuition for their daughters Casey, 17, and Sydney, 12.
Though recent promotions and raises have boosted their income by $20,000 over the past two years, they've got only $8,000 in college savings, and Sydney will graduate just a year before their hoped-for retirement age.

The Groths caught a break when Casey, who will start at New Mexico State University next year, became eligible for a state scholarship that covers eight semesters of tuition as long as she maintains a 2.5 GPA. (Son Jacob, 21, is in the Air Force, which will pay for his degree in full.)
They figure modest retirement dreams will take them the rest of the way. "We just want to spend time at home with our future grandkids," says Michele.
Occupations: Director of logistics at an Air Force base; first-grade teacher
Goals: To retire by 2023 and pay for their kids' college educations
Total income: $169,000
Total assets: $375,000
Retirement savings: $315,000
Home equity: $30,000
Cash: $22,000
College savings plan: $8,000
The Groths are underestimating how much their children's higher education will cost, says Lee Munson, a financial planner in Albuquerque.
Even with her scholarship, Casey's student fees, room and board, and daily living expenses are likely to add up to about $7,500 a year. And the $50 a month the Groths are putting in Sydney's 529 plan now won't pay for much school in six years.
Save for college -- quick! The Groths will need to tap some of their $22,000 emergency fund immediately for Casey's living expenses.
Munson recommends they put $450 a month aside to rebuild that account. They should also put $200 more a month in Sydney's 529.
Go aggressive. Nervous about what's going on in Washington, Scott moved 70% of the couple's retirement savings into short-term bonds last year.
That won't give the couple the growth they need for a retirement of more than 30 years.
Since they have substantial pensions and can absorb periodic losses, Munson recommends an 80%/20% mix of stocks and bonds. They'll need to sock away an additional $750 a month to hit their goal of retiring in 10 years.
While that will require some belt-tightening for the next few years while Casey is in school, Scott isn't fazed: "We can definitely put away more," he says.
Don't become landlords. The Groths hope to cut Casey's living costs by buying a house near the campus in Las Cruces that she can share with roommates.
Related: $214,000 real estate bet a big risk for a couple
Don't do it, says Munson. They'll be on the hook for long-distance repairs and maintenance, will need expensive liability insurance, and will add to their debt load with retirement just a decade away.

Michael Mina's wine lounge is one happening spot. Enjoy a hand crafted cocktail and nibbles in the sceney bar or have an intimate wine paired dinner in one of the semi-private booths.
One of the coolest designs in the city. Wine list is insane. Easy spot to swing by for a post-work drink and a bite (great bar snacks)--menu is creative French.
Not only one of the most extensive wine lists in the city, but also a top happy hr spot for food & drink. Don't miss tempura mushrooms!
Roo2008 says: – Good decor and nice wine bar. However the wine is terribly overpriced. The food at the bar is really second rate and surprisingly expensive for the value. Actually this is the most over rated restaurant I have been to in SF in the past 20 years. The wine bar menu is modest at best, and really non competitive with other restaurants. The main restaurant s food servings are so petite and precious I thought they were serving a tasting menu . I have tried it now 3 times hopefully thinking it would get better. ..to no avail. Regretfully I will not go back even though I live in the Millennium.
We had mixed feelings about the expensive RN74. food was ok, service was ok. Very chic but quite expensive for what you get there.
Decent Michael Minna restaurant – I finally got to go to RN74 last night. I was SO excited.
Décor: The theme is kind of an industrial modern train station. I love love love their wine board. They list specific wines that they are running low on and every time someone orders a bottle, the board switched around. It's a cute and interesting touch.
Staff: The hostess and waiters were very friendly and knowledgeable. The sommelier made some amazing recommendations based off of the little information we gave him. Some one told him "bring us some interesting wine." Haha.
Food: I ordered the wild caught whole shrimp. It was served with a vanilla hollandaise sauce. I don't think my pallet has gotten to the point where I can eat a savory dish with a "dessert" type sauce, so I preferred it without. The shrimp was delicious though a little challenging to get out of the shell. For dinner I ordered the halibut, which was served with onions and asparagus. It was really fresh, simple and yummy!
Overall, a good dining experience, but I wouldn't rave about it like I do for Baker and Banker. I think this place would be amazing for happy hour, so I may have to come back to check that out.
Lounge Wins, Dining Room Loses – The place is really nice; great design. Atmosphere is nice. Very large staff, but poor service in dining room. Food was somewhat tasty, but otherwise unimpressive. Both appetizer (soup) and main course (beef) were luke warm at best.
I'm not sure what direct involvement Michael Mina has with this restaurant, other than name.
Wine Bar/Lounge is fantastic, and the menu and food is better than the dining room menu. Wine by the glass selection is incredible (particularly if you like Pinot Noir/Burgundy). Lounge wait staff is great, and very attractive! Great, trendy scene, with attractive clientel as well. Bar manager is excellent.

John Mauceri
8:00 pm - 9:30 pm - Valley Performing Arts Center, Great Hall
The distinguished and extraordinary career of John Mauceri has brought him not only to the world's greatest opera companies and symphony orchestras, but also to the musical stages of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as the most prestigious halls of academia. His mentors include Leopold Stokowski, Leonard Bernstein, and Carlo Maria Giulini. One of the world's most accomplished recording artists, he is the recipient of Grammy, Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Edison, two Emmy and four Deutsche Schallplatten awards, among other prestigious recognitions. A graduate of Yale University, where he taught for 15 years, he is completing his seventh year as chancellor of the University of North Carolina's School of the Arts, the nation's unique stand-alone public university of conservatories in music, dance, drama, filmmaking, and design & production. For sixteen seasons at the Hollywood Bowl, Mr. Mauceri broke all records by leading over 300 performances before a collective audience of 4 million people with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, which was created for him by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.
Mauceri will present Music In The Life Of A Great City, Rite of Spring at 100. This inspired work looks at the powerful influence that Stravinsky's music had on Hollywood film composers in the 40s and 50s. It is an influence that can still be felt in today's contemporary film scores.

Marissa awesome and just was a delight! – I had never been to a Golden Corral b4. I walked in and it was packed and the entree's were full and looked and smelled delicious. When I walked to pay the cashier she was a beautiful black girl with dreams of traveling to Europe she was very sweet and friendly, guys she is a girl who deserves a great man. She made my entry feel like I was at a family gathering. I started trying the variety of food and the steak was great and the chicken was so juicy and like my main course the food was as delicious as it smelled. My hostess Marissa she was a hard working on the go taking care of everyone she looked like she was making up for one of the servers slack. She was very nice and polite, she made my evening desirable and I enjoyed her company she is a great hostess. Overall I came back to try breakfast and it was a good experience but the morning crew could use some attention to there hosting, they were a little rude but I was just happy they kept my table clean. Today I am going to try lunch and will send my review afterwards. But I must so far my best experiences are when that sweet cashier is working and when my favorite hostess is working Marissa those two girls know how to be courtious and friendly and they try hard to satisfy your stay and eateries.
what do you see?? – My experience @ golden corral has been an eye opener, for one..I do like the food, yet if I knew then what I know now, the food wouldn't be soo delightful. There are alot to say, technically speaking, yet only those who are really concerned about how the workers who prepare the food are the ones who'll yeild to this message. And as far as safety and sanitation, .. that too is questionable.
When I walk into a restaurant, I first check out how clean the restaurant looks. especially going back and forth to the kitchen by the servers. It sort of tells me how the people are in the work environment. Are they clean? Do they themselves concern themselves about how clean of an environment they are working in, to compare with how if they were to go out to a restaurant how would they feel looking at workers going in an out of a clean environment?
If the restaurant is dirty or the floor remains wet for a very long period of time, it tells me two things, the workers are either too busy to notice, or they just don't care. Taking the later, if they don't care too much about themselves, how much caring do you think they do for customers viewing their work environment, none.
If a company with a high volume of sales have a policy of employees helping to keep the environment hazzard free, why the wet floors
Again it can either be two things, either they don't understand the policy, or don't know it. If they don't understand; it can either be two things, they don't know it exist, or they just don't care to know to follow. You would have to consider whether the food workers/handlers are following 'First in First out' (FIFO) policy of the state.I've seen workers pull the new deliveries for the sake of fresh products and commend them for quality, nevertheless, the old deliveries are being pulled later on other days, and this can be a concern to the customers eating experiences. People get sick everyday not realizing it.
This all-you-can eat Southern-style buffet offers an unlimited assortment of comfort food. – In Short
Get in line, grab a tray, pay ahead and dig in at this local favorite for families. In the mood for pot roast, pizza and pie? Maybe some salad, spaghetti and steak? You name it and you can find it on either the hot or cold buffet bar. Save room for sweets, care of the in-store Brass Bell Bakery, complete with a spread of pies, pudding, cakes and cookies--including no sugar added varieties.

Picked this up on sale, overall seems very solid. I few of the pieces were slightly bent in shipping. Take your time putting together, took me about 45 minutes. An extra hand helps out with some of the assembly

Had this for awhile now and after reading some of the other reviews, I'm honestly surprised there are bad ones! I have the laminate top and yes there is some bubbling, but it's a work bench - not a formal dining room table. So a little bubbling on a work bench...no problem. I'll probably upgrade to the stainless steel top or maybe I'll just make my own butcher block top sometime in the future, but for now it's just fine. Everyone that's been invited over and stood around in the garage and drank beers has commented "it must be nice" so I'm more than happy!!! I have some matching shelves with it and I must admit...my garage looks well organized and sharp!!! Sears needs to add an "absolutely" choice to the recommend section of this.

the workbench and the drawer module are both very easy to assemble, and are very solid once completed. At 6 feet long, there is plenty of room to spread out when working. It is definitely a great choice for a garage workshop.
Fairfax, CA

I am very good at assemble-yourself projects. I have successfully assembled furniture, storage and cabinets from many manufacturers. Assembling this workbench was, by far, the worst experience I have ever had. The instructions are poorly-written. There is no attempt to incorporate into the instructions other products -- such as the back wall or under-cabinet-- so you end up having to take things apart after you've you've completed stages. The Craftsman bolts easily snap in two or strip out. I will never purchase another Craftsman item. If they can't even write intelligible instructions, how can I trust them to make a quality tool?

I purchased this bench after having used one in a family members garage. It is very functional but also serves as a decorative use in my garage where I keep a couple of classic cars. The frame is nicely finished and sturdy. The laminated top has been improved since the last model I used but is not indestructible. If you are doing a lot of heavy repair with lubricants and such you may want the stainless or butcher block top. Hard to beat for the price.

The F-B-I and department of homeland security have issued a joint-intelligence bulletin.
U.S. forces killed him on May 2nd last year.
The bulletin warns all law enforcement agencies to be on alert for a possible revenge attack, but The Obama administration says there's no evidence of a specific threat.

A new Alice In Chains song called "Hollow" is online now, accompanied by a fan-made lyric video. The clip is comprised of images submitted to the band through Instagram, after they asked fans to share photos they'd taken or created that were inspired by snippets of the lyrics that the band posted online. The audio download of "Hollow" will be available on iTunes starting January 8th, followed by the premiere of the song's official companion video.
Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell recently confirmed to Guitar World that the band had finished recording its fifth studio album and second without original vocalist Layne Staley.
The new disc will follow up 2009's Black Gives Way To Blue, which ended a 14-year gap between studio efforts for the group and featured singer/guitarist William DuVall.
Alice In Chains began working on new material in 2011, but the sessions for the album were delayed when Cantrell had to undergo shoulder surgery.
Although no official release date has been confirmed yet for the new album, it is likely that the disc will make its debut in early 2013.

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
32 Junior Mint candies
For the glaze:
1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua)
1 tablespoon crème de menthe (use white not green)
Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat mats.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat to combine.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
Drop the dough into rounded balls (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies have flattened, about 15 minutes. (If you dont have room on the baking sheets or in your oven to bake all the cookies at once, simply work in batches, refrigerating the extra dough.)
Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cookies have cooled, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners sugar with the liqueurs and stir with a whisk until smooth. Set the wire rack with the cookies on it over a row of paper towels. Using a spoon, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of glaze over each cookie, and gently press a Junior Mint into the center. Dont worry if the glaze dribbles off the sides of the cookies a bit it will firm up once it dries.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with Orange Liqueur
Makes about 32 cookies
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
Finely grated zest of 1 large orange
11/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the butter and both kinds of sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla, orange liqueur, and orange zest and beat until combined.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating to combine. Stir in the oatmeal and the chocolate chips.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until light golden in color and still somewhat soft in the center. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the sheets, then remove them and cool completely on a wire rack.
