Both Lauren Conrad and Nikki Reed had pretty big weeks. While Lauren made appearances to sign her latest books "Sugar and Spice" and "Style," Nikki got ready to start filming one of the most important movies of our time, a.k.a "Breaking Dawn" (we're only half-joking here). Of course, only one of these ladies rocked the week as our style superstar. Keep reading to find out who shined and who needed some brightening up.
We know Nikki's got a lot on her plate with "Breaking Dawn" coming up and all, but that's no excuse to neglect her wardrobe! Nikki's strapless black dress at the Swatch "New Gents Collection" event was totally cliche, and the matching jewelery and shoes didn't help either (at least add a pop of color in there!). Anyway, we're hoping that once she gets back into the groove of filming, her wardrobe will redeem itself.
Is it just us, or is Lauren becoming the next Carrie Bradshaw? She's got a book (a couple actually) and another reality show in the works (so maybe they're not exactly alike...). Most importantly, though, like our beloved Carrie, Lauren's got a penchant for style. The lacy white dress that she wore to her book signing in New York City on Tuesday totally had us swooning. We loved her headband, makeup and the shoes...oh the shoes! Let's just say Carrie would approve.
What do you think of this week's best and worst dressed picks?

I love love love this product. Although I have not purchased the Pucci design, the color 'beads' are the same. I'm still using the same set I bought over 3 years ago! Transparent, and other powders look cakey on me, but this blends for everything.
This looks great all over the face with or without foundation, and blends everything together. Ditch the brush that comes with the powder (or if not included, but a Chanel brush instead). The container has seen a lot of travel and wear and soon it will be time for me to purchase a new set. Its worth the money.

THIS IS WONDERFULL!!!! its a wonderfull combination between mythic and winter radiance 2005 LE. It is shimmery like winter radiance and nice and pale like mythic.
But its not shallow its gives a clear,rosy slightly shimmery finish that sets foundation perfectly!! I love it in combination with guerlain's semi matt foundation.
it matches perfectly with my NW15 complection!!!
too bad its LE and the pucci box is soooo adorable!

this is the 2nd time ive bought meteorites my 1st purchase was mythic. i prefare the pucci much better though. there great as a highlighter or a blush and can even be used all over the face. i think they have a lovely scent but the thing that really made me want to buy this product was definately the colour of the balls which look like little candy balls and also the fabulous packaging. id definately buy these again its just a pity they are limited edition but arent all our favourite products.

I'm a Pucci-addict, so I HAD to buy this product. It was my first time trying Guerlain and meteorites and I LOVE it! It is very subtle, yet adds a touch of brightness to my face. I really like the slight scent and feel a tad luxurious when I use this product (which is everyday.) For me, it was a GREAT purchase.

It's my first Meteorites purchase and I was tempted by the Pucci print and it being LE. I've had it for only few days and here it goes. I'm not particularly crazy about the scent of the pearls -- fortunately you can only smell it from the box and not on your face, so it's ok. Then, it's a bit too shimmery in my opinion. I'd expect from a highlighter of this class to throw in less mica and other glitter and more of this unique kind of glow, mother-of-pearl like rather than disco-ball like (though it is slight) -- I guess I was expecting a product more similar to Chanel's LE of Les 4 Impressions de Chanel in 25 Aurore, but I'll give it more test driving to form my ultimate decision.
UPDATE: I think I got hooked! Now the fragrance doesn't bother me -- I quite love it actually. I think I've found a right application method/quantity and now can see the what everybody here's raving about. Definitely a winner in artificial light/photos, in daylight still works/looks great. Now I'm looking forward to new LE of Meteorites!!!

Couldn't resist! I love the meteorites so had to have this LE! It IS very subtle but therefore can be used all over the face (unlike some of the lighter eg white pearls or pinker eg pink fresh meteorites). I think it is a touch more gold than the mythic, so for those who the mythic is a bit pale this may work better. The packaging is lovely. I only ticked the "would buy again" because I like all the meteorites so much. In reality this is a LE plus will last a very long time.

This is my first time buying any product from Guerlain. I must say that the cute little candy looking balls in the box looks very very appealing. I'm a NC25, and I use this like a loose powder all over my face. It gives a soft glow to me. If you look very very closely (like press your face next to the mirror), you'll see very tiny shimmers. It's not overly glittery. This can be used as a highlighter as well. I do think this product is very expensive, but I guess it'll really last me a long long time as well. That's the trade off ;)
Overall, I like the effect it gives me. I won't buy this product again simply because I do think it's going to last me a long long time =)

This yoga pants prank video is absolutely hilarious. People are completely fooled into thinking there are two girls deciding on who has a better derriere. At first glance, I can understand them not knowing because the girl is the one that asks who has a bigger butt. The best part about the video is that most people choose her male friends butt over hers, saying that it is bigger.
He turns around as the men approach the two of them and to the onlookers dismay they realize that it is not two women but that they also picked the man over the woman's butt. I can only imagine how shocked all these men were as they realized what was really going on. The yoga pants pranks video is the second installment it the prank videos.

Family Guy Review: "Business Guy"Eric Hochberger at . Comments
In this week's Family Guy, Peter assumed control of Pewterschmidt Industries when Carter suffered from a heart attack-induced coma... caused by a belated bachelor party that Peter threw for him.
"Business Guy" certainly had its share of laughs, but our biggest issue was with a major plothole in the story line. Why would Carter not have resumed power at the company once he recovered from the coma?
Would his lawyer have been that terrible to have written a will that gave up power when he was in a coma permanently? For a multi-billionaire, I'd think he could hire better people. Anyways, plot has never really been Family Guy's strong point.
Overall, the episode was decent with only a few cutaways that failed. Some of our favorite jokes from the episode...
- Dr. House's appearance actually worked and we loved hm throwing the book of rules out the window.
- By the same token, it was fun to see our favorite sitcom, The Big Bang Theory being made fun of.
- We're pretty sure they've used the Scooby Doo bit before, but we loved it just the same.
- Loved the meta joke about Lacey Chabert being fired as the voice of Meg.
- Oh and the Billy Joel line, "Heart attack, ack, ack,. You oughtta know by now." Amazing.
Now for our favorite Family Guy quotes from the episode:
Peter: It sure was nice for you to invite us out on your yacht, mr Pewterschmidt.
Carter: It's not a boat, it's a yacht. Oh sorry, I thought you said boat. | permalink
Lois: Is my father going to be okay, Dr. House?
Dr. House: He's in a coma, Mrs. Griffin. Listening to the sound of your voice, I'd say he's the lucky one. | permalink
Peter: Keep it up Lois and I might fire you.
Lois: You wouldn't.
Peter: Does the name, Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?
Lois: Okay, I'll behave.
Peter: Yes, you will. | permalink

It is an unexciting subject yet one on which the future military strength of the Western alliance could hinge. So far, however, greater cooperation among NATO countries on weapons production and procurement has been for the most part a tale of broken dreams.
''Achievement has fallen far short of our aspiration,'' says Jan van Houwelingen, state secretary at the Dutch Defense Ministry and chairman of the Independent European Program Group (IEPG), which was set up eight years ago to promote European cooperation in the defense equipment field.
Pressure for the IEPG (which includes all the European members of NATO except Iceland) to become more active has come not only from the Europeans themselves, who want ''more bang for the buck,'' but also from the United States administration and Congress, which together want Europe to contribute more to its own defense.
''Our defense effort is going to level off, meaning less for Europe,'' former US undersecretary of defense Robert W. Komer said in Brussels last week. ''We're going to press the Europeans to do more because we can't.''
There is, however, a keen recognition on this side of the Atlantic of just how little room for maneuver exists.
''It is unrealistic,'' according to Mr. van Houwelingen, ''to expect governments to spend much more on defense equipment at a time of low economic growth and mass unemployment.'' For him, the obvious answer is ''to get better defense from the resources we already have.''
Modest progress toward that goal was achieved last week at a two-day meeting here of the IEPG at ministerial level - the first ever. The ministers agreed to cooperate on three long-term projects at the heart of improved conventional defense in Western Europe - a large transport aircraft, a medium-range surface-to-air missile, and a main battle tank.
Another 30 projects will be looked at ''to find out what the cooperation possibilities are,'' according to British Defense Minister Michael Heseltine.
Also approved were plans to cooperate in military-related research and development and to strengthen transatlantic dialogue on weapons cooperation with the US.
''But you shouldn't expect miracles,'' said West German Defense Minister Manfred Worner.
Even these plans can be considered progress. But some skeptics warn that obstacles to widespread cooperation among European countries may be too great to overcome.
''The basic obstacle,'' according to van Houwelingen, ''is the unwillingness or inability of national authorities to subordinate what they believe to be their vital national interests to the larger cause of European cooperation.''
As David Greenwood, director of the Center for Defense Studies in Aberdeen, Scotland, puts it: ''Nationalism is rampant.'' Adds US NATO ambassador David M. Abshire: ''A go-it-alone mentality has emerged (among European countries), making it harder rather than easier to cooperate.''
US defense analyst Thomas A. Callaghan Jr., arguing that the West is currently undergoing ''structural disarmament'' - with more and more money buying fewer and fewer weapons - says that ''this particular type of unilateral disarmament'' will continue and even accelerate until NATO governments establish an intercontinental market structure for the production and exchange of armaments.
''The challenge (for allied leaders),'' Mr. Callaghan wrote in a recent issue of NATO Review, ''is to provide the same creative vision and leadership in establishing a military trade structure within the alliance as the post-war architects did in creating the commercial trading structure.''
That will not be easy, he said, calling the challenge ''every bit as daunting as that which faced the founding governments of the alliance 35 years ago.'' But they joined together then, he said, because no one country could do the job - ''and we must do the same today.''

Kismet & Sisters Makes for a Sinister Soiree
"Part exercise of passion, and part love letter, Sisters is a fragment of some lost, tragic opera."
This statement from Psyop director David Chontos echoes throughout his enchanting, dark and beautiful short film. Premiering this week at Psyop's Los Angeles location, Sisters was met with a sinister soiree to boot.
As the animated short screened for guests over the course of the evening, attendees were also invited to test their luck and behold their future in the form of virtual reality tarot card and astrological sign readings. This VR experience, named after it's gypsy fortune teller, Kismet, was released just days earlier in the week, and has already been drumming up exciting buzz on the internet.
An evening to be written in the stars, we were so pleased to be sharing these latest creative endeavors with our extended Psyop family and can't wait to watch them be enjoyed by all of you.
Watch Sisters in full just below, and download Kismet for your HTC Vive or Oculis Rift headset by visiting its page on the Steam Store or its website at www.KismetVR.com.

Hanoi: A Vietnamese state media report says police detained 50 people following an anti-China rally in Hanoi.
It described the weekend gathering as "ridiculous" even though the government has allowed similar protests to take place for two months.
Communist Party newspaper Hanoi Moi said Monday that 47 protesters were taken to police stations Sunday for allegedly attacking authorities. Thirty-nine have been released with a warning while eight remain in custody.
It says three others were detained for allegedly causing a public disturbance.
Protesters have gathered for the past 11 weekends to demand that China stay out of Vietnam`s territory amid disputes over areas of the South China Sea. Smaller arrests have previously occurred.

Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Great aroma development, phenomenal extraction and unctuous flavors were the result of patience and creativity. The big crop required a great deal of flexibility and ingenuity in the cellar as tank, barrel and cellar space became squeezed toward the end of harvest. But we all endured and made some memorable wines from a spectacular vintage. - Winemaker's Notes
Tasting Notes:
A dark, mysterious wine, Groth 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve possesses superb depth and delineation. Sweet herbs, cedar, tobacco and leather add nuance on a virile, imposing finish supported by beams of tannin. This big, rich Cabernet is going to require at least a few years in the cellar, but it is impressive, even at this early stage.
Enjoy now or cellar through 2020.

Bernie Sanders, the anti-establishment self-proclaimed democratic socialist insurgent, won the Democratic New Hampshire primary by a landslide — 60% to Clinton's 38%. The 22-point margin is a crushing defeat for the Democratic establishment.
But despite the fact that Bernie Sanders and his all-inclusive message won over voters, Jon Urbana thinks that Hillary Clinton may walk away from New Hampshire with more delegates because of something called super delegates. A super delegate is a person appointed by the DNC, not voted for by the people. These appointees are allowed to choose any candidate that they like.
Delegates are like points going into the Democratic National Convention, where the eventual Democratic nominee for President will be chosen. Each candidate — Sanders and Clinton — rack up these points during each state's primary or caucus and, for the most part, these delegates are assigned according to the vote. But not super delegates.
Super delegates are usually established politicians, like governors, congressmen and senators, that can choose a side even before the primary season kicks off. Clinton, benefiting fro years as a stalwart of the establishment, has already accumulated hundreds of super delegates across the country. Sanders has collected only a handful. Despite the majority of Americans voting for the Vermont Senator through the first two contests, Clinton is ahead in the score.

At 2 a.m. Great-aunt Emma and I tried tactfully to close up a party celebrating publication of a new literary anthology. Cousin Henry, who hates to stop writing his books or practicing his violin order to go to some stupid party , hates even more to leave once he is there. This time, since he was helping Great-aunt Emma host it, he had an excuse to stay.
Great-aunt Emma is a pianist, not a writer, but her Southern hospitality embraces creative people of all sorts. But enough is enough: at midnight she served scrambled eggs and orange juice, a firm hint The Party Is Over. Most guests began getting their cars our of snowdrifts and skidding up or down the hills homeward. Carefully.
But the brilliant conversations among poets and physicists and others among us dishwashers continued, talk ranging from astrophysics to Zen.There is an old Russian saying, "Don't feart he seated guest, but rather the guest who is standing," for although the latter insists he must go home, he will continue standing there gossiping and philosophizing till dawm, and you'll be standing there with him. Dishes finished, we stood around in coats and boots, ideas bounding off the walls of the narrow all.
Cousin Henry towered over the knots of standing guests, continuing to probe, challenge, expound. He always asks three questions at once. He hopes, I suspect, that they will be synthesized into one compact response, and if they aren't, he will ravel up the ragged ends himself before throwing out more questions.
"Cousin on, Cousin Henry," I tugged at his coat sleeve. "We're the last guests, and Great-aunt emma is exhausted," (it was Im who was exhausted, while Great-aunt Emma looked fresh as ever in navy velvet and lace, but I find it easier to lay the onus on someone other than myself.)
"But they haven't had time to answer my question. . .," and he gesticulated toward a novelist and a botanist who were trying politely to leave.
"Questions are sometimes more interesting than answers," murmured Great-aunt Emma.
We kissed her goodnight and were going out the door at last when in came a black jazz musician and his poet wife. They apologized for not arriving sooner -- he'd been playing trumpet till 2 a.m. while his wife was reading poetry to the music for some university group, but they did want to cngratulate their writer friends on the new anthology, even if it hadm been an hour's drive.
By 3 a.m., of course, their particular writer friends were long gone. Great-aunt Emma in the doorway looked distinctly pale and nonplused.
"Oh, you must be so cold after that long drive," she said, rallying as usual. "Do come in and we'll fix some hot chocolate."
The trumpeter demurred politely, but Cousin Henry was already launching into questions. It didn't seem that a jazz trumpeter and a classical violinist would share much, but musicians manage to communicate even without a common spoken tongue. . . . And with Great-aunt EMma still practicing Bach fugues daily on her harpsichord . . . .
Three pots of hot chocolate later we were finally out on the snowy path.
Then the trumpeter, twirling his keys and looking back over his shoulder to prolong the conversation with Cousin Henry, slipped on the ice. He got up snowy and unharmed, though in the spill his keys had flung themselves across the white lawn.
By moonlight we searched and searched in ever widening circles. In vain. No sparkle of keys, no cold metal under our freezing finger tips.
"A rake!" Cousin Henry exclaimed, and went around to Great-aunt Emma's cellar door. He returned with four rakes, rusted, half-toothed, but they left patterns in the snow like those in the gardens of pebbles in kyoto.
So at 4 a.m. we raked the snow as if for gold. Conversations continued over the drifts and heaps. Monologue, dialogue, trialogue, quadilogue . . . . Luckily neighbors stayed asleep. Cousin Henry continued to pitch his questions like snowballs, the trumpeter threw back hiw own, his wife chirped questions like snowbirds, while through my chattering teeth I muttered answers that went unheard. I was thinking it might take till spring thaw for the keys to reveal themselves when snow began to fall again, covering our rake prints, bent shoulders and heads.
Noise of a window opening. Great-aunt Emma's head in frilly nightcap. "For goodness' sake, give up! The guest room beds are made up. Perhaps you'll find the car keys in the morning. . . ."
The poet and the trumpeter looked at each other through the snowflakes. Great-aunt emma had met them only an hour before, and here they --
But that is Great-aunt emma. Cousin Henry prepared us all more hot milk, carrying a cup up to her bedroom, giving her a final hug, and promising to ask no more questions tonight.As the snow continued to fall over the roads and paths and keys, we kept talk to a whisper and fell asleep in the various armchairs in her parlor. The rakes waited against the house for the morning, with the snow shovels. Maybe by April . . . .
Raking the snow it was as if we were raking away at emptiness, at mere water, at plenitude, or at whatever it was that kept the answers from us, and perhaps the keys would always be hidden from us, and perhaps we did not, after all, want to find them --snow.
Next day our trumpeter found the keys readily, but when he left he blew a last note. And my mind continues to hear a faraway trumpet and the chant of dark verses asking Why. Meanwhile from an attic window comes the tap-tap-tapping of Cousin Henry's typewriter. Only in the process of writing does he find hiw own answers. From the parlor window come the notes of the harpsichord as Great-aunt Emma's fingers continue to probe Bach. As for me, I never stop putting questions.

I am usually awake between 3 am and 5 am every morning. I check my email, update Youtube, check the stats on my homepage, and then I usually write for a couple of hours. For some reason I opened the front door today. You have to understand that for me this is like a sin, opening the door so others can see me… and I never know if I will be alive if I see them. Opening that door is like scaring the P**p out of me.
Yet with all my fear, I actually opened that door and looked outside. I was greeted with a multi color sky. I hope you can appreciate it as much as I did.

Tim Sylvia is a desperate man, ladies and gentlemen. A couple of weeks ago, he released a video in which he claimed he could beat eighty percent of the heavyweights in the UFC. He went on to blame the UFC's need to fill cards as the reason guys like Joey Beltran, Chrisitan Morecraft, and Stefan Struve were still employed. Because, as we all know, Abe Wagner, Ray Mercer, and Mariusz Pudzianowski are the heavyweight contenders the UFC is missing out on. To no one's surprise, Dana White did not take the bait.
Then, "The Maine-iac" caught part of The Shawshank Redemption on TBS one night and came up with a plan: continue to release videos week after week until he received his metaphorical library full of books. It's gotten bad, folks. So bad, in fact, that Sylvia is now enlisting the help of The UG (hey, it works for some people), offering to let one of his followers corner him in his UFC return match, whenever that may come. DW caught wind of all this, and proceeded to crush Sylvia's dreams outright before they ever gained any steam, stating the following:
I have no beef with Tim Sylvia whatsoever, I have nothing against the guy, but I say it all the time: that was when the division was the weakest, when he was champion. And for him to make a statement like he could come back and beat 80-percent of the fighters in the UFC? The last time I saw him, he got knocked out by a 50-year-old boxer in like 10 seconds. Him and Arlovski were knocking each other out every weekend.
By Shawshank terms, Tim Sylvia just received another month in the hole. Or are we being too obtuse?
In either case, the former UFC Heavyweight Champ and Depend's spokesperson inevitably heard The Baldfather's criticisms, and was quick to retort. Well, probably not too quick:
I'm sick and tired of watching a bunch of bums fight in the UFC. Guys that I know I can beat… They told [manager Monte Cox], 'Tim needs to keep winning. Keep putting wins together.' I've done that and nothing happened. And there are guys in there I think are absolutely horrible…Yeah, I've got an attitude about it. I'm tired of it. I've got to make my own destiny.
If you recall, Sylvia's last performance was an absolute snorefest which went down at the abysmal ProElite 2: Big Guns event that we have long lamented over. That fight was the second of a current two fight win streak. If you also recall, Sylvia's run in the UFC heavyweight division consisted of similar snorefests over the likes of Assuerio Silva, Brandon Vera, and Jeff Monson. And who could forget the five round snoozer that completed the Andrei Arlovski trilogy back at UFC 61? Everyone, that's who.
But we'll give Tim this, he is one persistent son of a bitch. The man has been bombarding the UFC President's Twitter over the past couple weeks like a stage five clinger. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't look like DW is backing down anytime soon. Just check out how he responded to this tweet, which thankfully, wasn't from Sylvia:
Alejandro Ramirez ? @LXMMA12
Dont listen to that nut @MaineiacUFCprt2 Petitioning to Bring Tim Sylvia back to #UFC . Fans don't want it.
Dana White @danawhite
don't worry we aren't listening.
Game. Set. Match.

I like this book because it is interesting to read facts about reptiles. I loved to read about and see the picture of a two headed snake when the two heads attacked each other. It's really true! I thought the illustrations were awesome because they gave me so much information about reptiles.
I recommend this book because it is awesome. I think kids who like animals will enjoying learning all about reptiles.

SSD Troubles
I am truly stumped. I am trying replace my C drive with an SSD. I purchased a Samsung SSD 840 Pro, 256 GB.
The install was straight forward, I used Samsung's Migration software to clone the OS onto the new drive. When I disconnect the old C Drive and try to boot from the SSD, the machine will start to boot normally, then just when the POST stops I get a black screen and a blinking cursor. I do not even get to the Windows splash screen. It stops just at the point the Windows start normally appears.
The OS is Windows 7, 64 bit
The hardware is: ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe, AMD Phenon II 1090T (not overclocked), 8 Gigs of RAM, Nvidia Quadro 2000 Video board. I do have 4 SATA HDDs and two USB drives hooked up. The machine is running in AHCI mode.
I have tried numerous fixes found here on the forum. They include the following:
Make sure the new drive is set to "Active"
Tried booting with all drive disconnect except the SSD.
I booted from the Windows DVD and ran "startup repair" 3 times (twice). The first run it said windows found problems, I clicked "Yes" to repair problems. All subsequent runs said no problems found.
I have also up dated my BIOS to the latest version.
I can simply reconnect my existing C drive and it will bootup, but I find it odd that I can't even get to the Windows splash screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now let me get this right Noklu - you installed Windows 7 onto the SSD? Then you tried to clone the whole of the old drive to the SSD?
Oops sorry read that wrong. Personally I would have done a fresh install to the SSD and took it from there.

When you were migrating the cloned OS over, how many drives did you have plugged in? Also, in the BIOS, is the SSD first in Boot Priority?

A clean install of Windows is really a last resort. I have so much software installed it would take more than a day to re-install all software and get the settings in the software back where they were, I know this from past experience (a lot of graphics and GIS software).
When the SSD was cloned, all drives were plugged in. I cleaned and defraged the existing drive prior to cloning. I tried cloning a second time, no change. I should also say, I did update the Samsung Migration software to the latest version (2.0). On all attempts to boot the drive has been set to first priority in the BIOS.

|24 Mar 2013
It's possible that the ssd is defective. As a test, I would unplug all of the other drives and do a clean install to the ssd (don't activate) just to make sure that it is working and can be booted. If that doesn't work, then I would return the drive as defective.

Update.... Strollin, that was a very good idea. I did finally try a clean install of Win7, low and behold it would not install. I tried twice and then packed it in. The good people at Amazon are giving me a full refund. After a bit more research I believe there may be a compatibility issue between the Samsung SSD and MBs with certain AMD chipsets. I suppose I could hunt for a driver or something to make it work, quite frankly a simple upgrade should not take that much effort. It seems that others with my MB have used OCZ and Crucial SSDs with some success, so I will order an alternative. I thank everyone for their help. As always, you guys are the best.

At a stage where governments around the world have tried to hide away from the embarrassment caused by WikiLeaks expose on black money, founder Julian Assange speaks exclusively to Times Now's editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami on the Swiss bank data and featuring of Indian names in the same.
Julian Assange, made a stunning disclosure, that there could be
Indian names in the data that WikiLeaks would publish. He appealed to Indians to absolutely not lose hope that the names of those with secret Swiss accounts would come out at one point in the future.
Hinting that Wikileaks might work with specialized agencies before releasing the Swiss bank data he pulled up the Indian government for not being aggressive like Germany in going after the list of Indian account holders. In fact he said India should be more aggressive because India seems like it is losing per capita more tax money than Germany.
This is the first time Assange has spoken about Indian accounts in Swiss banks, and comes at a time when the debate in India over Swiss Bank accounts has sharpened.
To a question he said, "We have various types of information about different banking operations in the world. Over time, we have revealed those. In fact, most of the legal attacks on us have been from banks.
"There are Indian names in the data we have already published or going to publish. I can't remember specifically whether there are Indian names in the upcoming publication. But I have read Indian names. Similarly, in these private Swiss banking concerns, where you need at least a million dollars…which is a significant amount of money…Not an average Indian," he said.
Julian Assange said, "I can't tell you anything more at this stage. As we go through the process of releasing data, as always we have to do extra research. And once we understand which media organizations are best placed to help us with that research, then we operate with them. But we are not at that stage yet that I know all the research that is going on."

Return to Vietnam brings mixed feelings for US veterans
By HOLLY ZACHARIAH | The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio | Published: September 17, 2017
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Tribune News Service) — The Vietnamese guide drove the sedan through the countryside, carrying the two Americans toward the village of Ban Don and taking former Army Capt. Michael Close nearer to the spot where he spent three of the most harrowing nights of his life.
Close crashed his U1 Otter airplane somewhere in the Central Highlands during the war. The other two men on the small aircraft survived and were airlifted out, but as the pilot, Close had to stay behind to protect his plane. He hunkered down in a concrete bunker with some Special Forces troops — Viet Cong tanks rumbling the ground around them — as he waited for help to come.
More than 42 years had passed since those August days in 1969, but Close was sure he could find the old airstrip if given the chance. He wanted to go back.
In 2012, as he and his wife prepared to leave on a 15-day trip through Vietnam, specifically visiting the parts of the country Close had seen while piloting missions with the Army's 5th Special Forces Group in 1969 and 1970, he wrote a single sentence on a page of the journal a friend gave him for the journey: "Is this trip a good idea or a bad idea?"
He simply wasn't sure.
Difficult memories
Some 6.6 million Vietnam-era U.S. veterans are alive today, yet few among them have or will ever revisit the country where they fought. Many don't want to because they've long ago moved on. Some don't have the inclination or the means. Others think they could not bear it.
"It is difficult to get the public to understand how complex the psychological matrix is of the Vietnam veteran," said Dr. Ed Tik, an author and psychotherapist who has been working with veterans and treating post-traumatic stress disorder for more than 40 years. "As a community, as a country, as veterans, the United States has never faced its wounds from the Vietnam War."
Tik is the co-founder of Soldier's Heart, an organization that, among other things, takes veterans back to Vietnam. He will lead his 17th such trip in November. (Close and his wife, Chris, went alone on a privately arranged tour, not with Soldier's Heart.)
Most veterans return to learn, to understand, to share and to heal, Tik said.
"We wanted to encounter the former enemy and turn them into our friends," Tik said. "Trauma is from frozen war consciousness. The veteran's mind is still operating in a war zone even though it is over. We need to change the imagery our veterans are carrying."
He hopes that a much-needed national conversation about healing begins Sunday night with the start of the much-anticipated, 10-episode, 18-hour documentary, "The Vietnam War," by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. It airs in the Columbus market on WOSU-TV (Channel 34) beginning at 8 p.m. and runs almost nightly through Sept. 28. It will rerun on consecutive Tuesdays starting Oct. 3.
"I pray this series will tear us open," Tik said. "I hope our country has enough wisdom and compassion to deal with the wounds it opens. We need a profound discussion about the war."
A different Vietnam
Not all who revisit Vietnam are suffering. The reasons to return, experts say, are as varied as individual experiences.
Close counts himself among the lucky ones. He went into the Army as an officer through OSU's ROTC program. As a pilot, he didn't trudge through the jungles like so many others.
"My experience in Vietnam was hours and hours of boredom punctuated by moments of terror," Close said. "The grunts? They were the heroes. Not me. Never me."
He is 73 now, and, after his military service he went on to become a Franklin County Common Pleas Court judge, an appellate court judge and mayor of Dublin. These days, he is managing partner at Isaac Wiles law firm Downtown.
Other than hearing loss and a sadness for fallen comrades, Close left the service with little baggage. He exorcised what few ghosts he had with two cathartic moments in the 1980s: a trip to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and, a couple of years later, an all-night session with a bottle and a buddy after they had watched the iconic movie "Platoon."
Nevertheless, Close acknowledges that few escape such experiences without at least one scar.
"If you see war firsthand, you know there's no glory in it," he said. "You learn to admire the courage. You learn to admire the bravery. But you don't admire the war. Frankly, I came home and moved on to a blessed life."
A friend had suggested the trip back because he had his own war wounds yet to heal. When a sudden health problem prevented the friend from going, the Closes decided to press on alone.
What they found surprised them. There are scars, yes. Wounded and maimed Vietnamese soldiers. A population born with deformities from the chemicals of war. Unexploded mines left across the country that still damage and destroy. Unchecked poverty. Lacking infrastructure. Too many orphanages.
Yet many vestiges of the war are gone.
Vietnam is a largely peaceful land, mostly Buddhist. Much of it is green and beautiful, recovered from the deforestation by Agent Orange.
As he traced his path through what was known during the war as ll Corps — from what was then South Vietnam and Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) north toward Kon Tom — it took him through the Central Highlands and Ban Don, the area where he spent those awful nights all those decades ago.
An old mountain man directed them to where the airstrip used to be.
When Close crashed there, it was jungle. Now, it's 20,000 acres of tapioca fields. Only the shell of one bunker remained, covered in scrub. Close ran his hands along the concrete, remembering for a moment a different time. They paused, and Chris Close snapped a photo of her husband.
He explored a bit. Unrealistic, he knew, but he had hoped maybe to come across something tactile. A piece of steel from his plane, a broken instrument, a sign that he'd been there.
So next came a trip to Dak To.
"If the war ever ended for me in my mind, it ended there," he said. "The last time I saw that city, it had been bombed to the Dark Ages. Nothing left. But when we went back, it was rebuilt, vibrant.
"You go to see what you remember, and it's all gone. Changed. For us, we can't go back again because Vietnam is not as we left it. That's a good thing."
Remaking memories
Sometimes, a trip isn't just a trip for you. Sometimes, a trip is for everyone else.
And so it was in 1998 when Dispatch columnist Mike Harden and photojournalist Tim Revell, both former Navy corpsmen in the war, returned for a 16-day trip.
"We went as journalists. I went to show people that country through a camera," said Revell, now 71 and retired from the Dispatch since 2007. Harden died in 2010. "We wanted people to understand."
Personally, though, the trip unearthed feelings he long thought buried.
Revell had never made landfall in Vietnam; he served his stint in 1968 aboard the USS Annapolis, a communications ship patrolling the waters of the region. There were tense moments, certainly, and fear. But largely, from the decks of the ship, the fighting on land was a fireworks show.
Yet so many men were lost. Names he recognized, faces he knew.
Revell's musty-smelling, hand-size journal chronicling his time aboard the ship carries an entry from January 1969 after he received word that a friend and former roommate at the Naval Academy, where he had worked in the hospital before deployment, had been killed in battle.
"This was a shock for me," he wrote. "You both leave for a war. And now one is coming back. Which one could have been the better person and the more enterprising ... and the one with the potential."
Seeing Vietnam for the first time, photographing the maimed former soldiers, the poverty, visiting the children in too many orphanages, Revell said it got to him more than he expected. It reminded him too much of old friends, of the sailors and soldiers and Marines who came back less than when they left, those who never returned home at all.
He felt like he and Harden made that trip for them. For everyone. He felt like he could maybe replace in this country's collective mind's eyes some of those old images, the horrific ones.
"The guys I knew who were lost. I felt like they were looking down saying, 'Take some great pictures, Tim,'" he said. "We felt that we had to cover this story, veterans knew what it was like then. We wanted them to see it now."
