artists, once again be it film, music or videogames,
try much too hard to out do their last effort. Nine
times out of ten we the consumers are left with a
big heaping pile of Bantha Poodoo. This time around
we've lucked out as we have both LucasArts and Pandemic
Studios on our side.
Master And An Apprentice
Battlefront II is clearly the master of its series.
gameplay nearly identical to its predecessor, Battlefront
II takes every aspect of the original Battlefront
and runs with it. Instead of the streamlined "Kill
Em All" campaigns of Battlefront, Battlefront
II offers up actual objectives in its campaign mode.
You'll be tasked with taking out shield generators,
gun turrets and more, giving you much more single
player content.
to say, the graphics have been amped up quite a bit.
Levels previously seen in the original Battlefront,
such as Endor, are much more detailed and very crisp
in this effort. The player models appear to be more
detailed as well, from the vents on the Stormtrooper
mask to the split hairs in Luke's horrible comb over.
No detail is left unturned.
Five, I'm Goin In!
Space battle is the newest addition to the Battlefront
series. I stand and applaud LucasArts and Pandemic
for pulling off the single greatest space flight simulation
game ever. Flying around in your brand new TIE Fighter
or X-Wing might be a little awkward at first, but
after the first few suicide runs you'll be unable
to avoid, you'll get the hang of the controls. Once
grasped, space flight will easily become the highlight
of the title.
fast and intense, with plenty of starfighters at your
gunning disposal. Careful getting close to the capital
ships such as Corvettes, Frigates and Star Destroyers
as they pack a powerful punch. Taking down the capital
ships is an incredibly fun experience on its own.
Starting off on your faction's capital ship, you can
choose to be not only a pilot, but also a mercenary.
You can then hop onto a boarding ship, fly to the
opposing capital ship and land in their shuttle bay.
This grants you access to the opposing capital ship's
inner workings such as life support systems, engine
coolant and more. If you can destroy all these as
a grunt, victory is yours!
New Hope
Remember the Heroes in Battlefront? You were able
to get a Jedi to come into the game and wipe the floor
with the opposition. Battlefront II now gives you
control of the Heroes. There's
nothing quite like hopping around the map as Yoda
while cutting down droids or stormtroopers. My personal
favorite was floating around as the Emperor while
using my Force Lightning to bring a whole squad to
its knees.
range from General Grievous to Han Solo, Darth Maul
to Boba Fett, all controlled by you. Each Hero comes
with their own special attacks that will help to even
the odds in any battle.
Weapons, Need Them, You Will Not
One of the absolute greatest aspects of this game:
the little things. I'm sure your girlfriend has harped
on you long enough about these "little things"
and if you've never understood what she's been talking
about, you will now. It's the little things like how
Bothans are now a playable character for the Rebel
Alliance. You no longer have to waste $15 a month
for Star Wars Galaxies to run around as a little furball
toting a blaster. It's the little things like playing
the Dagobah level, starting in the Dark Cave that
Luke had to venture into, and hearing Darth Vader
breath down your neck. And he's not even there! Spooky!
the little things like the not so little Rancor hanging
out underneath Jabba in his palace. And take care
not to get to close to the Rancor, as I hear his belly
I figure it would be nice to use my game testing experience
to point out some flaws in the game. This will hopefully
help you to avoid a crash or freeze during the game,
or it could even be something pretty damn funny that
the devs forgot to take out. First up, keep an eye
out for the Rancor when you're in Jabba's Palace.
When he reaches down and snatches someone up, then
tosses them into is mouth, the persons hands and legs
can be seen clipping through his mouth. Secondly,
after the Rancor has had his fill of the victim, the
player model will drop directly through the Rancor
(in his backside area) and fall through the floor.
It's nothing detrimental, but it does offer up a good
a bug that may be localized to just my machine, but
while playing the Rise of the Empire campaign, I experience
multiple "random" freezes during the very
first level. However, I'm able to play every other
aspect of the game flawlessly. A
bug? Why don't you help decide!
Battlefront II is most definitely a homerun for LucasArts
and Pandemic. With plenty of maps and intriguing campaign
missions, Battlefront II's replay value is already
pretty high. Tack on the addictive nature of Xbox
Live and we have a game that is worth every penny
you dropped for it.

Battlefront II will easily take that title.

original was a huge success for LucasArts and we plan
to build on that success to make Star Wars Battlefront
II exceed what we did for the first game in every
measurable way," said John Geoghegan, Vice President
of Global Marketing and Sales, LucasArts. "For
Star Wars Battlefront, we joined forces with our colleagues
at Lucasfilm to launch the game day-and-date with
the Classic trilogy on DVD. Star Wars Battlefront
II's campaign will be even bigger, including promotions
with major national partners, as well as unprecedented
in-store support."
Wars Battlefront II improves upon the original game's
single-player experience with open-ended, mission-based
objectives inspired from all six Star Wars films.
The compelling storyline spans more than 12 new locations,
many from Episode III, including volcanic Mustafar
and the space battle above Coruscant. All-new classic
movie moments complete the Star Wars Battlefront II
experience, as players battle within the interior
of the Death Star and visit Princess Leia's blockade

Episode IV A New Hope. In addition, at certain key
moments within the battles, players can feel the Force
as a Jedi.
the first time ever, Star Wars Battlefront II players
can engage in space combat and, during the same battle,
board enemy ships to attack from within. Starting
on foot inside a capital ship, players can enter the
spacecraft of their choice and travel into space to
dogfight with the rival faction. From there, they
can dock within the enemy's capital ship, overtake
the ship's command posts, man its turrets to disable
its shields and destroy it from within! Or, they can
simply stay inside their own capital ship and defend
it from attacks and enemy fire. The choice is theirs.

Wars Battlefront returns even bigger and better for
Star Wars Battlefront II. Players can locate their
buddies and track their stats as they battle alongside
more players than ever (up to 24 on PS2, 32 on Xbox,
64 on Windows).

Early Hole Too Much For Canaries
LINCOLN, NE -- The Sioux Falls Canaries fell behind quickly on Tuesday night and dropped a 9-5 loss to the Lincoln Saltdogs to begin a three-game road series.
Ian Gac scorched a three-run home run in the first inning, and Lincoln never trailed. Canaries starter Mitchell Clegg (4-5) was struck in the head later in the inning by a line drive off the bat of Tyler Goodro. Clegg left the game under his own power, but he took the loss giving up four runs, two earned, in just two-thirds of an inning.
The Canaries pulled to a 4-2 deficit on a sacrifice fly in the third inning and Marcos Rodriguez' solo home run in the fourth. But they squandered opportunities with two double plays in the fourth and fifth innings. Lincoln pushed the advantage to 9-2 through the seventh inning before the Birds (31-44) rallied for their final three runs in the eighth inning.
Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with an RBI, and Reggie Abercrombie had his first multi-hit game, going 3-for-4.
Lincoln starter Pete Parise (9-5) held the Canaries to two runs, one earned, in seven innings. He walked one and struck out four.
The three-game series continues at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday at Haymarket Park.

(CBS/AP) What's on the menu at the London Olympics this year? Big Macs, fries and milkshakes. That's right, McDonald's is sponsoring the Olympics, with an exclusively branded menu for the occasion. And British doctors say that's sending the wrong message in a country where obesity is ballooning.
The fast food giant will soon open its largest franchise in the world - a two-story cathedral-like restaurant that seats 1,500 customers - at London's Olympic Park. McDonald's will be the only restaurateur allowed to sell brand-name food at the games and there will also be a separate McDonald's restaurants within the athletes' village - in addition to three others at the Olympic Park.
Alongside McDonald's, Coca-Cola has the exclusive right to sell non-alcoholic drinks at Olympic venues. Heineken has been named the games' official beer.
"It's very sad that an event that celebrates the very best of athletic achievements should be sponsored by companies contributing to the obesity problem and unhealthy habits," Terence Stephenson, a spokesman for the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges, said. The group is calling upon the British government to restrict advertising by McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Heineken during the Olympic Games, which are being held in London from July 27 to Aug. 12.
But that's unlikely to happen. London Olympic organizers have defended their decision to accept McDonald's sponsorship as a business deal.
"Sponsors provide a huge amount of the funding required to stage the games," said a spokesman for the organizing committee in a statement. "Without our partners such as McDonald's, the games simply wouldn't happen."
About one-quarter of Britons are obese and experts estimate that could jump to half by 2030. Obesity and related health ailments cost the U.K. health system about 4 billion pounds ($6.5 billion) every year. Worldwide, more than 1.5 billion adults are obese, a rate that has more than doubled since 1980, according to the World Health Organization.
"These brands are using the Olympics to be associated with medals and svelte, fit athletes," Stephenson said. "They don't want us to think of fat, unhealthy people when we think of their products."
Nutrition advocates in the U.S. also had concern with the sponsorship.
"We would not allow cigarette companies to sponsor Olympic events," Dr. Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University, told HealthPop. "We should not permit marketers of junk food to kids to do so. Sponsorship implies endorsement of junk foods by Olympics committees. That surely is not a healthy message."
Britain is also battling an increasing alcohol problem, which experts warned could worsen during the Olympics.
"When any major sporting event has an official alcohol supplier, it sends out completely the wrong messages to young people, making it seem as though no major event is complete without alcohol," said Sir Ian Gilmore, special adviser to the Royal College of Physicians on alcohol.
He said he "greatly regretted" that the London Olympics had appointed an official beer.
Some experts said advertising during the Olympics could actually cause a spike in fast food consumption, even in people not inclined to eat it.
"We cannot simply decide not to process (an ad), there is a subliminal association that is made that may affect your behavior in the future," Nilli Lavie, a professor of psychology and brain sciences at University College London, said.
McDonald's said in a statement they expected about one-in-10 people visiting London's Olympic Park to eat at their Golden Arches. The company has been an official Olympics sponsor since 1976 and said it would be using its expertise to provide "high-quality British food" at the Games.

Hamid has two shutouts in a row and is going up

Chad freakin' Barrett at forward. Seattle is rated
as a heavy favorite, almost 2 to 1. But I think DC

I must admit, I have a tote bag obsession. I know this because Jason would remark exasparatedly 'Not another one?!' anytime he would catch me bringing home a new tote bag. I think my biggest problem out of this is that I love the idea of having reusable bags but I just never seem to have one on hand when I need them. I ought to remember to keep one in my every day bag.
Totes are also on my wishlist to create. I have so many doodles and patterns in my head that I wish I could put on a tote – not only that, there are so many styles of totes too! One day, I will stop being lazy and get this done.
Of course, I'm not the only one with a tote obsession.

My Comments To The USTR On Special 301 Report On Foreign Copyright Issues
from the let's-get-real dept
Senior Director for Intellectual Property and
Innovation and Chair of the Special 301 Committee
Office of the United States Trade Representative
600 17th Street NW
Washington, DC 20508
Filed electronically via Regulations.gov
Dear Ms. Groves:
I write to you today as a long-term content creator, who makes my living off of my ability to continue to create content and receive remuneration for that activity. And yet, I am concerned about the state of US copyright law, and the fact that it does not serve my interests or the interests of the vast majority of content creators today. Despite being a professional content creator, I have purposely chosen not to make use of copyright law, because the way it is structured today actually hinders my own ability to profit from my content creation.
The central tenet of copyright law has been, "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts," and the mechanism for this is both copyright and patents, or more specifically "securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Unfortunately, over the years, all too often we've lost sight of the beginning of that sentence, in the assumption that any increase in those "exclusive rights" must surely "promote the progress." And, yet, as we have expanded and stretched copyright law time and time again -- and almost never contracted it -- no one ever seems to ask for any actual evidence that stronger and lengthier copyright law leads to promoting more progress.
This is not a new concern. Thomas Macaulay famously argued in 1841 that we ought to be careful to only extend and expand copyright upon evidence that such an extension or expansion would, in fact, lead to greater incentives to create. Yet, to this day, our public policy has been to take it on faith that stricter copyright laws lead to greater incentives to create -- despite the lack of evidence to support this position. In fact, the evidence has suggested that as technology has decreased the ability of copyright holders to enforce copyright, the incentives to create have only increased. And this is not just the ability to create as an amateur, but the ability to create and earn money as a professional.
A recent paper by economists Felix Oberholzer-Gee and Koleman Strumpf demonstrated this in rather great detail, highlighting that even as new technologies have undermined classical copyright law, there remains little evidence that this change has undermined the incentives to create. In fact, the research collected in that paper and other papers suggested that more people are creating new works of music today than ever before in history. The same is true of movies, an industry that has seen the number of annual releases double in the last five years alone.
There is no doubt that a segment of these industries, who have relied on exclusivity and limits in the distribution channels, such as the major movie studios and the major record labels, have been slow to respond to these changes and have faced difficulties. But their views are not an accurate representation of the overall industry. The Oberholzer-Gee/Strumpf paper clearly demonstrated that the amount of money being spent on music by consumers has grown massively in the past decade -- it's just that a smaller portion of that spend goes directly to the record labels. An even more recent study out of the UK, done by two industry economists working for PRS, the UK's performance rights collection society, also found that the overall music industry was making increasingly more money, despite the challenges of a changing market.
These studies point to important facts about how industries can adapt, even in the face of technologically-weakened copyright, without the need for greater enforcement. But they also raise an important point: when our policy on copyright is made without actual evidence, it is important to allow different countries to experiment with their own copyright policies, from which the rest of the world can learn. Trying to enforce US-style copyright law throughout the world does a disservice to the very purpose of copyright law: to promote the progress.
By allowing different countries to experiment and adopt their own style of copyright law, we create a real-world experiment from which we can learn what does, and what does not, help to "promote the progress." Using US trade policy to pressure other countries to adopt a US-style copyright law brings all of the problems with US law to other countries, and presents no chance for us to examine how our own law might be improved to serve the purpose of the law, as set out in the Constitution.
The Special 301 process should be an opportunity to see what other countries have done and what we can learn from them, rather than an opportunity to try to export faith-based US-style copyright law to other countries, solely for the benefit of a few companies who have not adapted, while many others in their industries have made the jump to supporting and embracing new technologies and new business models. The US should be encouraging local experimentation with copyright law, rather than strict adherence to our own brand of copyright law -- especially given the lack of concrete evidence that our own laws do, in fact, "promote the progress."

Habitat and EcologyHabitat and Ecology
Juveniles are generally solitary in deep ledges and are rarely seen cleaning. Adults tend to move over larger areas to clean, rather than waiting at fixed cleaning stations like some other cleaner wrasses (e.g. L. dimidiatus) (Kuiter 2002). It shows pronounced cleaning behaviour which only occurs during the day. Labroides bicolor is active in the daytime, and may possibly produce a protective mucous cocoon at night.
It is probably a monandric hermaphrodite, but might also undergo bi-directional sex-change (Robertson 1972, Kuwamura et al. 2002, Sadovy and Liu 2008, re L. dimidiatus). There appears to be no obvious adult colour dimorphism, the males and females having enerally the same colour pattern (though the male may exhibit a bluer head, Kuiter 2002). The juvenile colour pattern (yellow with a black stripe) is however different from that of the adults (Kuiter 2002).
It feeds on the crustacean ectoparasites of other fishes, probably including gnathiid isopods (Grutter 1997), and also on fish mucus (Masuda and Allen 1993).

Kicking Bass Basics - Pedals New At NAMM 2013
Kicking Bass Basics - Pedals New At NAMM 2013
Often it's claimed guitar pedals "sap" your low end but this is not always true, your classic NYC Big Muff is actually passing much pretty much all of that low end information. However just like your mid range and treble it's massively distorted and uneven, so you don't hear it as that classic sinusoidal sub that we all know and love. Perhaps the most popular technique to get around this is to simply blend in some of the pure, clean signal of your bass along with the effected tone. More and more manufacturers are making pedals with bassists in mind, incorporating wet/dry blends and controls better suited for bass use. They were a notable presence at NAMM 2013, so here's our pick of a few favourites.
EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Bass Drive PedalThis pedal is almost more like a one stop shop solution for common bass tone problems. So many pedals sound good in the mid range but sap low-end energy or cause bass "wobbles" and wooliness, not only does the Billy Sheehan Drive pedal offer an overdrive tailored to bass it also gives you a blend function.
Dial in a bit of aggression from the drive but keep a balanced tone and maintain your low end with the clean tone. Further to this is a built in compressor which will further help keep your presence in the potential maelstrom that distortion can bring.
Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Bass Big Muff PiPerhaps the most famous fuzz of them all gets true bass pedal treatment with wet/dry blend, pad for active pickups and XLR out for further tone blending.
MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe Effects PedalIt's not all dirt boxes, bassists get a first class analogue chorus with blender and great depth. MXR have a great range of pedals for bassists.
From Jaco Pastorius through Sting and Marcus Miller right up to rock and metal acts like Guns N' Roses and Tool bass chorus has featured on some classic tracks. Now get true analogue bucket brigade modulation without sacrificing your bottom end.

Mariah Carey has collaborated with everyone from Whitney Houston to Jay Z. But her cutest featured artists are yet to come: her kids!
That's right. Dem babies — 2½-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe — will make their recording debut on their superstar mom's upcoming album, out in May.
"It's a song that I wrote with Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri. There's a part that Jermaine says on the song that [the kids] loved, and Monroe started to say it," Carey told PEOPLE at the Empire State Building's Love Above All lighting ceremony in New York City Thursday.
"I kept having to get my iPhone and record her. So I have all these different takes of her saying things, singing things. Then I'd be like, 'This is your new ad lib — learn it!' I have to make it fun for her."
Carey isn't the first diva to feature her child on a new track, though. Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy, 2, appeared with her on "Blue" in December.
Carey debuted her latest single "You're Mine (Eternal)" at the 2014 BET Honors. The performance attracted quite a bit of buzz — mostly because of the singer's barely-there gown.
"I was [worried about a wardrobe malfunction] when I laid on the piano," she says. "Right before the lights went on me, I heard 'Pop! Pop! Pop!' The supposedly see-through wires broke. Nobody saw anything, and it was by the grace of God that I got through the performance."
The singer's done her fair share of performing over the years. But does she see music in her kids' future?
"Well, they started singing and talking simultaneously. It's hard to explain. That sounds like a lie, but it's true," she says. "They're both so musical."
When they're not in the recording studio, Carey says the twins love spending quality time with their mom.
"Their favorite thing is: 'Lie down, Mommy.' Meaning: 'Lay with me and watch a movie,'" she says. "Because otherwise they have to watch Your Baby Can Read or something educational. I'm a tough task-master like that."

The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has claimed rookie goalkeeper Brian Perk off waivers from the Philadelphia Union. A native of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Perk was waived by the Union on Friday after being selected by the club in the fourth round (49th overall) of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.
A four-year standout at UCLA, where he was a teammate of current Galaxy rookie Michael Stephens, Perk was also a member of the Galaxy's U-20 team in 2008, helping that squad win the Pacific Southern California Division title in their inaugural season. The 21-year-old has played for the U.S. Under-15, Under-17, Under-18 and Under-20 National Teams, playing at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2007 and 2009, helping the U.S. reach the quarterfinals in 2007.
Perk did not appear in any MLS games for the Union, though he did play in the club's recent friendlies against Celtic and Manchester United. He is expected to join the Galaxy in training for the first time on Friday, August 6 and will be available for selection against Real Madrid on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
That game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (PT) and tickets are available now. For more information about this game or to purchase tickets, please contact the Galaxy by calling 1-877-3GALAXY (342-5299) or by visiting www.lagalaxy.com.

I wrote a post a few months ago asking if meaningful use will put medicare in a bad position. In that post, Dr. Borges makes an argument for why meaningful use is going to have a negative impact on Medicare. In the comments, David Swink offered this additional comment about what he calls the EMR Tea Party:
I agree with Dr. Borges. He, and many other physicians of like mind, compose the EMR Tea Party — those who do not object to the modernization of record-keeping, but do object to the top-down "carrot-becomes-the-stick" approach to EMR that is being foisted on them. He is a medical John Galt (of Atlas Shrugged), who is more likely to retire or otherwise deny his talents as a "Giver" to society than to succumb to the diktats of the "Takers".
The idea of a physician EMR Tea Party is quite interesting. I have seen a number of doctors like Dr. Borges that are leaving Medicare to avoid the meaningful use requirements. I've also seen that pretty much every doctor I've ever talked to would love to stop taking Medicare. However, I've also seen that a large majority of doctors don't have that option because so much of their patient population is on Medicare. Plus, some percentage of those doctors don't want to leave Medicare patients high and dry.
With this in mind, I'm not quite seeing the leave Medicare Tea Party getting that much momentum. However, I am seeing an EMR Tea Party that is swelling among doctors that want their EMR software to improve productivity, improve patient care, and allow them to be doctors instead of data entry clerks. This growing movement is much more powerful.
Meaningful use has a major impact (mostly negatively) on these desired EMR results. You might remember my post on the EHR Certification excuse as an example. I think this is also a reason why we have yet to see any private payers requiring EHR certification or meaningful use. They don't want to anger doctors by requiring them to do many things which are unnatural to their current workflow and provide little value to the payer.
The real question is how big will this EMR Tea Party get over time. Not to mention, as more hospitals acquire ambulatory practices, will doctors have the influence they need to affect these changes?

If you followed CES last year, then you probably heard a bit about Razer and their prototype gaming laptop, the Switch Blade. It was a laptop with a fully programmable keyboard made for portable gaming with complex games–including titles like MMORPGs–and it wowed pretty much everyone as people threw awards at it like apples throw themselves to the ground because of gravity. In other words, it was a hit.
The Switch Blade has undergone some significant changes as it prepares for a full retail launch in the next few months, but the prototype made good and will soon be on store shelves. If Razer has its way, the same will be true of the newly unveiled Project Fiona.
The Fiona is a prototype tablet made specifically for gaming. The hardware will allow it to play the vast majority of PC games on the market, but it is the distinctive controllers on the side that really give it its unique appeal and look.
Razer calls the device the "only tablet in the world designed specifically for PC gaming." It runs Windows 7 (for now), and allows users to play the same games they play on most gaming laptops. Fiona utilizes the Intel Ivy Bridge chip architecture, giving it the processing power necessary to handle most games on the market. The tablet display will be a touchscreen, but the controllers on the side will not only allow you better PC gaming control, they also feature force feedback, just because they can. For good measure, it is also the first tablet in the world that is THX certified.
Fiona is not meant to replace a desktop, but it can be a solid stand in for a gaming laptop. In many ways, it shares a lot in common with the Sony Vita. Both devices can take your home games (on the PC and the PS3 respectively), and be transferred to a mobile device on the go.
Although the device is still just a concept, the technology is available today and it could be ready to ship as soon as the end of the year if the demand for it is there. If so, It will likely wait until Windows 8 is released, incorporate that OS into the device, then ideally ship for under $1,000. The name will probably receive an upgrade as well. Fiona is a lovely name and all, but it seems a bit out of place from a company named Razer that makes devices with names like "Blade."

Posted on 02/19/2004 12:05:20 AM PST by DoctorZIn
The US media almost entirely ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year. But most Americans are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East.
There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. Starting June 10th of this year, Iranians have begun taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy. Many even want the US to over throw their government.
The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.
In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.
This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.
I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.
If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.
If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.
Iran gags reformist papers ahead of polls
Thursday 19 February 2004, 11:31 Makka Time, 8:31 GMT
The papers published a letter critical of Ayat Allah Khamenei
Iran's hardline controlled judiciary has ordered two reformist newspapers to be shut down after they published a letter critical of the Islamic republic's supreme leader.
The closure of the papers, Shargh and Yas-e No, came on the eve of parliamentary elections here that are expected to see conservatives wrest control of the Majlis from reformists, most of whom have been barred from standing.
They were the only two newspapers who dared to publish a letter from incumbent reformist deputies that questioned Ayat allah Ali Khamenei's role in the mass disqualifications.
Some 70 reformists who resigned from parliament warned in the open letter of a "widening gap between the regime and the people" and asked if Khamenei had allowed the disqualifications of reformist candidates.
"The organs under your authority, having for four years humiliated the Majlis (parliament) and its deputies by blocking legislation, have openly blocked the most basic right of the people: to choose and be chosen," they said.
Criticising the supreme leader is a serious criminal offence in Iran. "I condemn this decision. It is a way of restricting freedom of the press"
Issa Saharkhiz,
Association for the Freedom of the Press
"I condemn this decision. It is a way of restricting freedom of the press," Issa Saharkhiz of the Association for the Freedom of the Press said.
"I condemn this decision. It is a way of restricting freedom of the press"
Journalists questioned
Officials went to the offices of the two newspapers to inform them of the ban. They also questioned two Shargh journalists, Saharkhiz said. Iranians go the polls on Friday
Iranians go the polls on Friday
"They told our editors that the final decision on Shargh will be announced officially on Saturday, February 21st," the employee was quoted as saying.
A Yas-e No employee said the papers were padlocked by prosecutors later on Wednesday, and the sign on the building where the paper operates from was also torn down.
Tehran's chief prosecutor is Said Mortazavi, who several years ago ordered a major judicial crackdown on the press as head of Tehran's press court. On being promoted last year, he was quick to warn journalists to be even more careful.
A Mullah is checking Fr
Hey, Any Mullah Out There?
The find at Doshen-Tappen air base appears to undermine Iran's claim it is not pursuing a nuclear bomb. The discovery may strengthen calls for action by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog.

By Jason Pribila: I usually reserve my "Winners and Losers" articles for major pay per view fights. However, after a weekend that saw boxing shows airing on ESPN2, Showtime, HBO, and NBC Sports Net, I was hopeful for enough material to warrant a column. The Texas State Athletic Commission once again ensured that I'd have plenty of words to write under the list of losers.
However, with Major League Baseball about to offer up its first pitch of the season to compliment the early Spring weather that we have enjoyed on the East Coast, we'll start off on a positive note as we look back at the weekend was.
7. Diego Magdaleno (22-0, 8KO): The junior lightweight contender put together his best performance to date against his most accomplished opponent, Fernando Beltran Jr. Magdaleno is known as a stick and move boxer, which explains his modest KO total. However, on this night he sat down on his punches, and he continued to throw with bad intentions even after he took a knee during a flash knockdown in the fourth round. He brushed himself off, won the rest of the round and the fight en route to a round seven TKO. Junior lightweight is a division ripe for the taking. Adrian Broner's connections and hair brush have guided him to the top spot, but a guy like Magdaleno could certainly keep him company in the future.
6. Johnny Garcia: Of the many Garcia's who fought this past weekend, the Holland, Michigan native was the least likely to get his hand raised. Although no one should be surprised to see an upset on ShoBox, rarely does one come from a dude with a mullet fighting as the B-side to a decorated amateur with the credentials of Yordenis Ugas. Garcia, however, simply wanted this fight more. His will, especially after getting dropped in the fifth round allowed him to get the benefit of the doubt by judges who favored his aggression to the economical output presented by Ugas. I had Ugas winning by a few points, but have no issue with the split decision verdict.
It's been a pretty bad month for Top Rank Inc. and the Cuban fighters in their stable.
5. Carlos Molina: The chaotic ending to what could have been Molina's biggest win as a pro, ended abruptly when referee Jon Schorle disqualified Molina because one of his cornermen entered the ring during a confusing sequence of events that took place at the end of the tenth round. The controversy will play out, as Molina's team has protested that the ruling be changed to a "no-contest", but one could be certain that Kirkland's team will look elsewhere for their next opponent. Also, if there is an eventual rematch, one could be certain that it will take place with a third man in the ring who will be forewarned about allowing Molina to get away with the illegal tactic of holding his opponent. The fact is that Molina faced a very beatable version of Kirkland, and he probably won't get the same opportunity any time soon.
4. Bryant Jennings: Talk about coming out of nowhere! Jennings salvaged the inaugural Fight Night broadcast on NBC Sports Net in January when he took a fight on short notice to face fellow undefeated Maurice Byarm. On Saturday, Jennings faced former title holder, Sergei Liakovich, who was originally supposed to face Eddie Chambers in January. Jennings jumped on the always game Liakovich, and used his speed advantage to land combinations to the defensively challenged foe. One of Jennings' several head shots seemed to break the Belarus native's nose. He was allowed to continue, but Jennings turned up his offensive output, and forced Liakhovich's corner to stop the fight after 9 rounds.
A young, active, American heavyweight who is always in shape and willing to throw punches? Main Events and Peltz Boxing may have discovered a species thought to be long endangered.
3. Main Events – Peltz Boxing: Although it was unfortunate that the second installment of Fight Night on NBC Sports Net went head to head against a solid HBO card, those responsible for putting the card together should be proud of their results. It appears that putting regional draws in the ring against evenly matched foes still has a place in boxing. When there is rooting interest in a local fighter, people will still come out and buy tickets. The enthusiasm remains steady from the opening bout until the final bell. If anyone had been channel surfing on Saturday, they no doubt would have stopped on NBC Sports Net to see what all the excitement in the arena was all about.
Brooklyn represented well, and I personally can't wait to see if my hometown of Bethlehem, PA could respond when boxing returns to the Sands Casino on June 1.
2. Zab Judah: "Super" has become the Freddy Krueger of the junior welterweight division. Each time he is counted out, he comes back with a solid performance. Fighting in front of his hometown of Brooklyn for the first time as a pro, Judah dominated Vernon Paris from the opening bell. This performance was a far cry from what he offered against Amir Khan last summer. On that evening in Vegas, Judah had the look of a guy who could no longer pull the trigger. On Saturday night, Judah once again showed that if matched correctly, he remains a tough out for anyone in the loaded junior welterweight division.
1. Danny "Swift" Garcia: Garcia made his hometown of Philadelphia proud by graduating the crash course of prize fighting presented by veteran Eric Morales. Garcia showed a great deal of respect to the Mexican warrior, who had entered the ring 3-1 following a two and a half year retirement. Garcia was ahead on the cards when Morales started to apply pressure during the championship rounds. Garcia was breathing through his mouth, as his nose appeared to be broken. Garcia erased any hopes Morales had of rallying down the stretch when he landed a left hook that dropped Morales in the 11th round. Morales rose and made it to the final bell. Garcia's dreams have come true, and if he could combine the lessons learned with the confidence that goes along with holding a world title, expect Garcia in meaningful fights in the near future.
4. Jose Luis Castillo: The former lightweight champion was actually scheduled to fight on the undercard of Morales-Garcia, however, he again failed to come close to making weight for his match against Jose Cotto. I can't imagine another promoter seriously considering Castillo's inclusion to a fight card after he has burnt fans, opponents, and promoters by continually failing to make a contracted weight. It is a shame that Castillo is not financially secure enough to walk away from the sport or the buffet line.
3. HBO Broadcasting Team: Yet again the trio of Lampley, Kellerman, and Steward were in unison as they clearly favored Morales during his main event against Garcia. Morales fought admirably, and his quickness once again surprised all who questioned his ring return at junior welterweight. However, the job of the announcing crew is to call the action and not cheerlead. Garcia got little or no credit for landing the cleaner punches from the opening round and throughout the evening. It felt as if their cheerleading was even impacting Howard Lederman's ability to score the fight.
Also, as unpopular as open-scoring is, they seemed determined to let the audience know what the scores were following the fourth and eighth rounds.
2. James Kirkland: The ebb and flow of James Kirkland's career almost hit another speed bump before he was given an unwarranted victory via disqualification. Kirkland never seemed to be in the fight until he showed a little spring in his steps in round nine, which was followed by a solid three minutes in the tenth that saw him score a knockdown at the end of the round. However, we can not ignore what our eyes told us through the first eight rounds. Kirkland needs to be carefully matched moving forward. He is a brawler who will always be at a disadvantage when a boxing match breaks out.
What is even more disturbing is that Maxboxing's Steve Kim tweeted that he was told by Kirkland's manager, that Kirkland weighed as much as 198 lbs between this and his last fight. If that report is accurate, then Kirkland once again showed that he is not fully committed to being a professional around the clock. Few fighters have had career longevity when they choose to fight like James Kirkland. After what I saw on Saturday night, I'm guessing that his candle may burn out sooner rather than later.
1. Mess in Texas: Rather than singling one person out, I thought I'd just secure space for the entire Texas State Athletic Commission on the top step of the podium. We have referee Jon Schorle, a time keeper, an inspector, and, of course, Gale Van Hoy.
When a desperate Kirkland landed enough shots to finally drop Molina at the end of the tenth round, confusion and chaos ensued. The first issue was that the bell rang to end the round prematurely. This is excusable because Molina was falling as the round came to a close. Schorle correctly began to give Molina an 8-count, but he then incorrectly disqualified Molina when one of his cornermen tried to enter the ring during the count. By following the letter of the law, Schorle cost fans in the arena and on television the chance to witness what could have been a dramatic final six minutes. Instead, he disqualified a fighter, because his corner was entering the ring after hearing the bell ring.
Many have asked where the inspector was who was assigned to Molina's corner. Surely, it was his job to prevent cornerman, Orrin Askennette from climbing up on the ring apron. This wasn't a case where Askennette became over zealous and attempted to interfere with the count or proceedings. He entered the ring ass-first. He certainly should not have been confused with "The Ultimate Warrior" or even an enraged Roger Mayweather, who entered the ring without penalty in 2006 after Zab Judah hit his nephew below the belt line. All Schorle had to do was to call time out, inform the judges that the knockdown counted, and send the fighters to their corners for a minute between rounds. No harm and especially no foul.
Schorle was momentarily taken off the hook when it was revealed that ringside judge Gale Van Hoy had Kirkland ahead by a point following round nine. Had he scored the tenth, Van Hoy would have had Kirkland ahead by three points. How many heinous cards is Van Hoy allowed to turn in before he is disciplined and removed from his post? Why is this guy in a position that will impact the careers and earning potential of young athletes? This guy should have been reduced to being the answer to a trivia question after he ignored what he saw when Paulie Malignaggi fought Juan Diaz in Houston. Instead, he remains a punch line whenever he is assigned to a major bout.

(I said god *damn*. God damn.)
In news that will probably make you clench your fists in triumph, Playboy has confirmed that beloved UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer will appear in their March issue. A photo of Palmer was included on the "Next Month" page of the nudie mag's current January/February issue, with the following teaser copy:
"The Canvas suits her. The UFC Octagon has always attracted delicate beauties, but no ring girl paints a prettier picture than pop artist Brittney Palmer. It's a pictorial worth fighting for."
Palmer will be the third UFC Octagon Girl to grace the pages of Playboy, following Rachelle Leah in 2008 and Arianny Celeste in 2010. And as long as they don't airbrush her to death like Lindsay Lohan, this will definitely be one of the highlights of our year.
After the jump, Brittney takes a sultry spin around the Octagon at UFC 140, in a series of candid photos from her Facebook page.

Nicollette Sheridan has dismissed speculation she will return to hit TV series Desperate Housewives for its grand finale, insisting she is not bringing her character back from the dead.
The actress played sexy real estate dealer Edie Britt on the popular comedy drama, but her character was killed off after being electrocuted in 2009.
Sheridan went on to file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against show creator Marc Cherry last year, accusing him of slapping her when she expressed an opinion about a script he had written, and firing her when she complained to producers.
But Cherry sparked rumors he was preparing to make amends with Sheridan over the weekend when he announced the upcoming season of the show would be its last.
During a Television Critics Association meeting in Beverly Hills, Cherry admitted he was contemplating bringing Edie Britt back to life for the series finale – although he had yet to come up with a way to make that happen.
He told reporters: "I don't know how I would do that, but I have an idea for the last episode in which I want to pay homage to everyone who's been on the show before. So, we'll see what happens with that."
However, Sheridan insists she has not been approached to resurrect her role – and she has no intention of returning to Wisteria Lane.
Speaking on U.S. TV show Today on Monday, she said, "That's news to me… I had an amazing time playing that character. I loved her dearly, but they killed her. She's dead."
