WikiLeaks: summary of the latest disclosures

American diplomats played a high stakes game of ‘Let’s Make a Deal’ with foreign governments to try and empty terror suspects from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, according to the leaks.

Barack Obama had hoped to shut down the controversial Cuban outpost within a year of becoming president.

But State officials came up against a brick wall both in the U.S. and abroad with fierce opposition over plans to resettle the detainees.

Now, with Mr Obama’s deadline long gone, the cables released by Wikileaks show just how desperate the U.S. became to offload foreign Gitmo inmates.

The latest round of WikiLeaks releases disclose more detail about the US's relationships with allies and foes across the globe. Here is a round-up of today’s headlines.

Prince Andrew criticised a variety of governments, including those of Britain and America, as corrupt, stupid and backward in a conversation with a US diplomat.

In his wave of “almost neuralgic patriotism”, the Duke also made the bizarre claim that British geography teachers are the best in the world.

Families of British servicemen killed in Sangin, Afghanistan have reacted furiously after it was claimed WikiLeaks would disclose dismissive remarks by US commanders on British efforts to secure the town.

The Welsh family of Bradley Manning, the US soldier suspected of handing the classified documents to WikiLeaks, have flown to America but been prevented from visiting him in prison.

The internet has been rife with speculation about which former Labour minister was labelled “a bit of a hound dog” with women by an American official.

David Cameron was seen as “lightweight” by Barack Obama after the first meeting between the two leaders, leaked files will show.

Prince Charles does not command the same respect as the Queen, according to a senior Commonwealth official.

International

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, dismissed claims that Arab countries had asked the US to attack his country as a deliberate attempt by the US to destabilise the Middle East.

Released Guantánamo Bay prisoners should have electronic tagging devices implanted so that they can be followed by security officials, the King of Saudi Arabia suggested to a White House official.

Silvio Berlusconi responded to leaked claims by American diplomats that he has a penchant for “wild parties” by claiming he only throws parties in a “proper, dignified and elegant way”.

One of the more unlikely stories to surface from the leaked documents was that of a 77-year-old American dentist who fled Iran on horseback after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

American officials suspect that North Korea has been secretly aiding Iran in its attempts to build nuclear weapons under the auspices of the Chinese government.

Colonel Gaddafi was believed to be very close to a “voluptuous” Ukrainian nurse who followed him everywhere he went, a US cable claimed.

An exile from Iran was living in London when he was targeted in an assassination plot by an Iranian agent, who was later arrested in America.

India beat New Zealand in Guwahati ODI

Virat Kohli's sparkling century helped India script a 40-run win against an injury-hit New Zealand to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Chasing India's challenging score of 277 at the Nehru Stadium, New Zealand were short on experience with skipper Daniel Vettori and explosive opener Brendon McCullum missing out due to back injuries as the visitors were all out for 236 in 45.2 overs.

Stand-in skipper Ross Taylor top-scored for the Kiwis with a fighting 66 from 69 balls studded with three sixes and three boundaries.

Scorecard

At 169 for eight, New Zealand looked to give up easily but Nathan McCullum (35 from 35 balls, 4x4) and Kyle Mills (32 from 28 balls, 2x4, 2x6) produced a 67-run ninth wicket stand to give India some tough time in the middle.

But Sreesanth (three for 67) broke the partnership dismissing Nathan and Mills with te former being brilliantly caught by skipper Gambhir as India won the match with 28 balls to spare.

Under intense scrutiny, Yuvraj Singh failed with the bat but he was really effective with his bowling claiming three for 43 from his full quota of 10 overs, while off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took a career-best three for 50 to help India take the series lead.

Thanks to a compact 105 by in-form Kohli, the new look Indian side under Gautam Gambhir put on 276 as they were bowled out in 49 overs after the hosts were sent in to bat.

Fresh from his back-to-back centuries in Ranji Trophy, the Delhi lad played a neat and chanceless knock from 104 balls with 10 boundaries for his second consecutive and fourth overall one-day century.

But Kohli's dismissal brought in a stunning Indian collapse as the lower-order managed 26 runs from last six overs something that exposed the new look side's inexperience at this level.

At 250/4 in the 44th over, with Kohli going great guns, a total in excess of 300 looked within easy reach but it was not the case after the centurion's dismissal by Andy McKay.

But New Zealand fought back with a planned and calculated bowling in the fag-end especially by left-arm seamer McKay who returned with a career-best figures of 10-1-62-4.

New ball bowlers Kyle Mills and Daryl Tuffey claimed three for 42 and two for 56 respectively.

With no McCullum, the New Zealand openers of Jamie How and Martin Guptill lacked the firepower as the visitors were slow and cautious to start with.

Nehra broke the opening stand for 32 scalping How (9) as his partner Guptill, after being dropped twice by Murali Vijay, did not last long departing for 30.

Stand-in skipper Taylor held the fort even as wickets kept falling in at the other end with Yuvraj doing a great job for India with his slow left-arm orthodox spin.

Taylor and Kane Williamson (19) looked good during their 67-run third wicket stand but Yuvraj did not let the partnership going.

Just when Taylor was beginning to look dangerous with his towering sixes, Ashwin gave the crucial breakthrough as New Zealand were reduced to 154 for seven after 33.3 overs.

Earlier Kiwi new ball bowlers, Mills and Tuffey, extracted some fine seam movements early on as openers Vijay (29 from 32 balls, 5x4) and Gambhir (38 from 38 balls, 6x4) survived some anxious moments in the early morning start.

The Indian duo however did not look under any pressure in absence of Virender Sehwag as they stitched 44 for the opening wicket before Vijay was done in by Tuffey with wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins taking a brilliant catch running backwards.

Kohli settled soon his second-wicket partnership of 48 did not last long with Gambhir falling in a soft dismissal to McKay.

Due for a big knock, Yuvraj was slow and watchful to start that saw India scoring just 17 in the five overs in the bowling powerplay from 10-15 overs.

Having consumed 28 balls for his first eight runs, Yuvraj opened up to the New Zealand spin attack that missed Vettori sorely as Nathan McCullum and Kane Williamson bowled their conventional off-breaks.

Kohli, meanwhile, raced to his ninth half-century in a rather nondescript way but he ensured that they were on track for a big total.

In their 88-run stand for the third wicket, Kohli was compact and flexible in rotating the strike while Yuvraj looked to score in boundaries before he edged one behind the stumps.

India look to nail Kiwis in ODI series

A jaded Suresh Raina (13, 1x4) continued with his poor Test run into the ODIs, as the southpaw lasted 18 balls before becoming Mills' victim.

After Kohli's dismissal for 250 in the last ball of 44th over, the Indian inexperience showed as the lower order collapsed.

Yusuf Pathan played a cameo of 29 from 19 balls laced with three fours and one six, as debutant Wriddhiman Saha (4), Ravichandran Ashwin (0), Ashish Nehra (0) and Sreesanth (1) were dismissed cheaply.

But the total was enough to rattle New Zelanders who missed their regular skipper Vettori and opener McCullum badly to trail in the five-match series 0-1.

India have rested their star performers including skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh who were not considered due to injury concerns.

SEO basics getting manipulated with content: Is it really “fresh” or just “new?”

How “fresh” is a fresh content? – Now this is something to make us think as to how compromised deeds got included into the scope of SEO boosting. If a content genesis was something like eavesdropping and ingeminating, fresh is not the word for it, but this is in the SEO concept of today. If done an interesting job of getting to the original roots of a so-called fresh content, “distortionary” facts will come out. There are various software being published by leading software development company for content spinning specifically for SEO providers.

Odyssey of a net publication could be: “Freshly” spoken at a conference to someone, that “someone” posted it to a forum, someone else read it and blogged it, some other then tweeted it, whereupon it got blasted via Ping.fm and Hootsuite. This cycle undergoes a repetition for “n” number of times. Another route is something of a convoluted game of telephone. One gives information to another, that “another” conveys it to someone else with his/her own interpretation, this goes on in a chain of communications, the final person has a message quite lost in the original essence of it. Nothing but this could at least retain an underlying definition only if “Chinese whisper” could deliver the original. Forget “fresh.”

An erroneous belief the process has aired around is that tweak pages for the sake of it and you get something worth a “fresh” content, expecting that it will attract search-engine crawlers and will get more and more “search” visible.

Conscientiously, you are doing no favor to your customers and more importantly to “yourself” with fiddling of this kind. What’s genuine is always “originally new” – created, optimized, and promoted authentically. It will let in only updated news, updated links, and refined on-page keywords. Why not have local genuine creations on your web pages with text and media use to create a rich user experience and invite others to feel like linking to it!

As we all know that free web hosting is nothing new in the current online market, but still because of its several advantages it has been continuously

As we all know that free web hosting is nothing new in the current online market, but still because of its several advantages it has been continuously doing great day by day. Although there are so many controversies about free web hosting services even then it is most popular among the novices.

This is human tendency to play safe when it comes on investing money especially when you are a newbie. Free web hosting is the best option if you believe in learning before taking a big decision for your online business.

Free web hosting is not always counted the best one because of its limitations and back-draws, but this is only going to matter for you if you want a fully functional web hosting service for your website.

Here I am going to discuss the cons along with pros of free web hosting.
1. Advertisements

If you go for free hosting get ready to have lots of advertisements on your website. Yeah! Web hosting company that provides with free hosting service will only be able to provide you with it, if it earns something from you. Getting ads on your website is the best way to earn. You can’t stop these ads to be shown over there.

If you are a newbie who just wants to learn how a web hosting service works and what you may require in future for your website then you don’t need to worry about these advertisements on your website. Take it like you are practicing with hosting services you will actually need. Don’t put your most important stuffs on this free hosting space, so that you could do it on your paid space.
2. Support

These free web hosting services may not offer any support services for free clients or if they provide that will be less priority. Keep in mind you are practicing, so make a list of problems that you face during your free web hosting experience and whenever you turn to the paid services ask them if they provide the complete solutions for those problems. Isn’t that a great way to learn?
3. Hosting Features

When you will run your website on the free hosting servers you will automatically come to know what features you require to treat with your clients & visitors requirements. As you will get fewer features with a free web hosting service this will be a good time for you to know about all the features that you exactly require for your website.

There are so many pit-holes in free hosting services, but still I would prefer to use them to host your non-profit sites or websites that are in their opening stages. If you plan to own a website of personal interest free web hosting will be the best media to explore your interest. You can use it just like social media websites.

Gambhir captain for entire series

Gautam Gambhir has been appointed captain for the entire five-match ODI series against New Zealand, not just the first two games.

Confirming this on Sunday evening, a well-placed source of The Telegraph said: “The press release issued by the Board (late on Saturday) didn’t specify that, but the selectors have decided on Gambhir for all five matches.”

The series, the last at home before the World Cup, will be played in Guwahati (November 28), Jaipur (December 1), Vadodara (December 4), Bangalore (December 7) and Chennai (December 10).

What is also clear now is that Sachin Tendulkar, regular vice-captain Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh won’t be featuring in any of the matches. Besides, obviously, regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

All four are likely to leave for South Africa around December 5/6, arriving about 10 days before the start of the three-Test series.

Rahul Dravid and V.V.S. Laxman would be boarding the same flight. Possibly Pragyan Ojha and Cheteshwar Pujara too.

However, there’s no clarity on Zaheer Khan. “There’s a chance that Zaheer will play the last three ODIs, otherwise he’ll land in South Africa with no match practice at all... If he does play, then he won’t be going with the advance party,” the well-placed source pointed out.

The Board, one learns, would take a call on whether rookie quicks Jaydev Unadkat and Umesh Yadav also need to reach South Africa early.

Dhoni and Co. will be accompanied either by coach Gary Kirsten or bowling consultant Eric Simons. Both have played for South Africa, with the latter having coached the Proteas too.

Meanwhile, there’s no official word, but it seems Dhoni has bruised fingers, while Sachin and Sehwag have a shoulder problem. Harbhajan, it’s gathered, has a shin injury, while Zaheer is recovering from a groin strain.

Except Zaheer, the other four are turning out in the final Test against New Zealand.

The bowler who troubled Tendulkar the most

Tendulkar, surprisingly enough favors England over Australia in the Ashes an names Eoin Morgan as the key man. This is enough reason for me to revisit my own impression of the Ashes - I think Australia will win with reasonable ease, though I don't see either side winning more than 2 out of the 5 Tests. If the wickets are sporting (i.e. they favor bowlers at least in some way), then this might change.

As for the bowler who has troubled him most in Tests. I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that he's going to name Hansie Cronje. Note that I write this on Friday evening, before the interview is published. He has said before that he hates facing part time bowlers more than anything else, and Cronje has dismissed him 5 times in Tests.

The man himself says, as I suggested he might, that it was Hansie Cronje who troubled him most. In comments and chats, Abdul Razzaq, Pedro Collins, Glenn McGrath and Dion Nash came up. A few years ago, there was a theory doing the rounds that Tendulkar was bothered by orthodox left-arm spinners, especially Raymond Price of Zimbabwe. Yet, we are presented with Hansie Cronje.

This choice is far from innocent on Tendulkar's part. This is not to say that it is a sly choice. It is true that Cronje had as much success against Tendulkar as Donald did. But then, by that count, Muttiah Muralitharan has dismissed Tendulkar more times than any other bowler - 8 in 19 Tests. Tendulkar also average 48.9 in these Tests and took 5 Test hundreds off Murali. Against Warne and McGrath, Tendulkar has played 2 major series - a 0-3 defeat in Australia in 1999-2000, and a 2-1 win in India in 2000-01. In 12 innings, he reached at least 50 6 times in those series. The mammoth innings eluded him - 126 at Chennai and 116 at Melbourne being his three figure innings. By contrast, Brian Lara played 47 innings against McGrath and reached at least 50 13 times. One of those, was his best ever Test innings in my view - 213 at Sabina Park.

What Does the Apple iPad to do with Archeology ?

You may not see an instant relationship between the Apple iPad and Archeology at first thought. Archeology refers to the scientific study of ancient, prehistoric fossils and ruins. The IPad is on the leading edge of new technological innovation. How can these completely different disciplines interact? Well the versatile and portable design of the Apple iPad, along with its slender and convenient to carry form factor, make it well suited for utilization in the field work Archeologists perform on a daily basis. The user friendly direct input screen is ideal for recording the sophisticated data that archeologist gather in the course of work. Notes, sketches and drawings, that used to be written by hand on paper are now recorded and maintained in a digital format.

Practical iPad Use in the Field of Archeology

ipadinhandhomescreen What Does the Apple iPad to do with ArcheologyDocumenting data faster and with higher accuracy is a priceless tool for researchers. Being able to input data straight to a digital format increases transfer of data and creates a more effective operation. Envision how much more slowly the archeological was previously. First an archeologist working away at a site would generate notes concerning his critical findings. These written notes would be carried around throughout the period the archeologist was working in the field. In the event anything got misplaced it would be lost forever and the researcher would have to attempt to reconstruct from memory their discoveries. Once in the lab the data would be uploaded to other individuals to study. By using an iPad, data is now shared instantly. With a decent disaster recovery plan set up, even if the Apple iPad was misplaced or damaged the information collected would undoubtedly be backed at a remote site database.

Not merely in theory

On the Apple site you can find an article regarding an actual archeological crew making use of the Apple iPad in their field activities. A lot of the built in applications that are standard in the iPad are now being utilized by the team. This demonstrates that ideals regarding how technology can have practical uses in the lives of various professionals, even the most unexpected, can turn to reality.

Sometime soon many applications that are currently being developed will eventually become realistic and feasible apps for iPad’s customers.

Microsoft introduces Office 365 with the help of Cloud Software

Microsoft office has introduced new versions of Office 365 which is used by 13 countries already has several features and applications in it. Small companies can now buy it for $6 and large companies have several options like $24 for one employee of the company on the basis of subscription, or even for $2 for one person for limited usage of the software. On the basis of the designation of the employee different slabs are offered by Microsoft office. The beta program of this software is still under process of experimentation. office365 Microsoft introduces Office 365 with the help of Cloud Software

Shortly, Microsoft Dynamics online CRM will be added to this software and another new version will be launched in future for the benefit of schools and colleges. Office 365 also has Exchange 2007 and Share Point 2007 features which is in support of 2010 edition. But Lync exists as the improved version of OC online.

GM of Microsoft has pointed out that the launch of Office 365 will provide support to Cloud service and all its customers will see progress because of it. And it will operate to integrate some of the Cloud applications as BPO, and Live@edu. It would cover all the existing major applications and tools. Apart from computer it is available in leading cell phones. Initially it was looked as an opponent by Google Applications which has once exerted great pressure on Microsoft. Later it was strengthened and confirmed as a rival of Google Apps which would try and find various other ways for survival. And in this event Google may loose the game also.

In this connection, Research Nuclear analyst Cain has pointed out that Microsoft will have to work hard to meet the expectations of its customers. However, there has been mixed response coming from the users of Office 365. Depending on this feedback, Microsoft would make effort to lure big organizations in the run.

From their perspective, Microsoft is sure that this would be a huge success but its future products will be using Cloud software. The President of Microsoft also agreed to this view and informed that Microsoft is sure of using cloud services in its products.

Office 365 is formulated to supplement the existing versions of Share Point, Lync and Office. Microsoft firmly believes its new launch will bring progress in unique way and the innovative features will be primarily launched on Cloud services only.

Research analysts Mathew Cain and Silver also announced that only after some years the Cloud software will face the demands of any type of company whether it is small or large.

Betsy Webb, General Manager of Microsoft declared that after the worldwide launch of Office 365 next year, Microsoft will take all efforts to improve the present condition of its customers to upgraded Window and it will teach and help them in all possible ways.

Pamela Anderson to enter the house of Big Boss 4 India

Wow !! Did you hear the news that Pamela Anderson is going to enter Bigg Boss 4 ?? I mean is it really going to be ‘ The PAMELA ANDERSON ‘ , ‘ The BAYWATCH ‘ star ?? .   If this news true then i guess the TRP ratings would be at its best for this Show .

There have been too many twists on this show already. First, Entry of The Great Khali , i think Big Boss 4 would be a place i would least expect him to be in. Then Dolly Bindra’s Wild card entry, who turned the place into a complete Mess. Man! She needs to control her anger and not to mention her Voice too :P . Hasn’t she fought with almost everyone in the house ??. Anyways then , Ali Merchant, who came in to sought out his differences with Sara,  ended up  marrying her inside the Bigg Boss House. That was weird and Silly too .Rahul, one of the few , not so vicious types is out (i was hoping him to stay till the last) and Now Anchal too . Veena is just happy flirting with almost everyone in the house and seducing her way to glory . God Knows whats wrong with Seema, She faints and remembers nothing about it. And , Amidst this , If Pamela Anderson enters the house, I am sure the house would be on Fire. Why not ? The lady is so hot :) . The Ladies man Ashmit is going to be in a fix :P .

Anyways i had a hard time  finding a suitable picture of Pamela Anderson. My blog being G rated is not a proper place for such pictures :) . I mean you can only find nude or almost Nude pictures of her :) .So yeah, You can appreciate me for that :)

The Great Khali , Dolly Bindra,  Pamela Anderson . Whats next ?? I would not be surprised to Paris Hilton appearing on the show :P .  They have got some Real Crazy brains Working behind the show.

Dus Ka Dum: Salman Khan out, Sanjay Dutt in

Negotiations have fallen through with Salman. He is out of Dus Ka Dum.
Sanjay Dutt whom Salman has acknowledged as his mentor and guru in the past, will step into Salman's place. This would be Dutt's first tryst with television.So far Dutt has shied away from television arguing that the medium would cramp his style. It was Dutt's good friends the Bachchans who convinced him to go for it.

The Big B whom Dutt considers his mentor and is a pioneer among celluloid stars on television, is at this very moment ready to sign on for another season of Kaun Banega Crorepati with Sony Entertainment even before the current season is half-done.

A source said, "Sanju was in two minds. One look at Amitji's track-record on the home-viewing medium convinced Sanju to go for it."

Negotiations between Salman Khan and the channel have fallen through due to "irreconcilable financial differences". The channel has quietly moved on.

They've zeroed in on what they think would make for an even more interesting host on Dus Ka Dum.

A very reliable and unquestionable source from the channel confirms that discussions with Sanjay Dutt have reached a final stage.

"We've also been in very serious discussions with Anil Kapoor. Neither Sanjay Dutt nor Anil has done television before. That's what places them above Salman Khan in our list of hosts," a source said.

Apparently Anil who played a Kaun Banega Crorepati-styled game-show host in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire was the channel's first choice to host Dus Ka Dum after Salman.

However Anil would be busy shooting for Mission Impossible 4 at the time when Dus Ka Dum is slated to go on air. So Dutt it is. Apparently the channel is willing to pay Sanjay Dutt a hefty amount of money to get him to do television. But no one is willing to disclose the sum being offered to Dutt. A channel source said, "We're just happy to have him on board. At any cost."

India Vs New Zealand - Harbhajan hits second century in a row

India's Harbhajan Singh became the first number eight batsman in the world to score centuries in successive matches during the second Test against New Zealand.

The feisty tailender on Monday rattled up seven sixes and seven fours in his unbeaten 111-run knock off 114 balls to take India's first-innings to 472 for a lead of 122 runs before New Zealand reached 37-0 at lunch. Tim McIntosh was batting on 18 with Brendon McCullum (15) at the break on the fourth day of the match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.

Harbhajan notched up his maiden Test century last week to help India salvage a draw in the opener against the Kiwis in Ahmedabad. His feat surpasses the record of New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori who scored 140 and 99 batting at number eight in back-to-back Tests last year.

The Punjab player added 105 runs for the last wicket with Shanthakumaran Sreesanth who also defied the New Zealand attack for close to two hours before being trapped leg before wicket off Vettori.

Sreesanth made 24 off 71 balls with three fours. It was Harbhajan again who dominated the proceedings in the morning session, lofting Vettori for a straight six and following it up with another off Tim Southee (3-119) that landed in the stands.

Vettori picked his 19th five-wicket haul in Tests and finished as the most successful New Zealand bowler with figures of 5-135. The visitors started off confidently in their second innings with McCullum and first-innings centurion McIntosh negotiating 13 testing overs with ease.

India's pace spearhead Zaheer Khan left the field midway through his fifth over after apparently picking an injury and the remaining three balls were bowled by left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha.
