Huffington Post: Bradley Manning 'Said The Flag Meant Nothing To Him,' Former Supervisor Claims

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:27 AM PDT

FORT MEADE, Md. -- In testimony from what could be the last prosecution witness during the pre-sentencing phase of Bradley Manning's trial, his one-time supervisor Jihrleah Showman dropped the allegation that the WikiLeaks source once told her that "the flag meant nothing to him."

Showman is a former Army specialist who supervised Manning when he served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, and she and Manning had an often-rocky relationship during their brief time in the service together -- he once punched her in the face. Smelling an 11th-hour trick, Manning's defense attorney immediately sought to call into question the veracity of her statement, which she made for the first time in open court on Friday.

Showman said Manning's comments came during a private counseling session in August 2009, months before they were deployed to Forward Operating Base Hammer in Iraq. After the soldier told her that he had joined the Army to pay for his education, she said, she sought to probe deeper into his reasons for signing up. Tapping the flag on her uniform's shoulder, she said, she asked Manning what it meant.

Huffington Post: Nigel Lythgoe, 'So You Think You Can Dance' Producer, Talks Gay Stereotypes Of Male Dancers

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:28 AM PDT

"So You Think You Can Dance" producer Nigel Lythgoe spoke at length about the reluctance many British and American men have toward dancing, noting it was connected to existing stereotypes about professional male dancers.

"It's not really accepted that guys dance, for some reason," Lythgoe noted. "Especially when you put on a pair of tights and do ballet ... if you're a dancer, you're a homosexual. In this day and age, what the hell? Why should you be labeled in anything that you do?"

Lythgoe seemed optimistic about the future generations of male dancers, however, noting he'd seen an increase in the number of fathers who applauded their sons for their achievements in dance.

Huffington Post: Bird Flu: Risk Of Human-To-Human Spread Higher Than Previously Thought

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:33 AM PDT

By Dina Fine Maron
(Click here for the original article)

Before this year the H7N9 bird flu virus linked to 133 human infections and 43 deaths was never seen in people. All the available evidence suggests that an effective biological barrier apparently kept a pandemic at bay—humans only contracted the novel virus via direct contact with poultry or environments such as live bird markets rather than by human-to-human transmission. New analysis from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), however, suggests that the virus is closer to becoming a disease transmitted among humans than previously thought.
