A 22-year-old Kilgetty man has demanded an apology from Arriva Trains Wales for poor train services which have frequently left him unable to get to work.

TECHBITS: 'DC Smackdown,' Markey Avatar, Online Privacy, New Battery

ORLANDO, Fla. – If you're tired of watching Mitt and Mike, Hilary and Rudy, and Colbert and Coulter limit their swipes to words, pick one and go for it in the new video game "DC Smackdown."

Featuring signature moves like the "Intern Trample," "Mormon Conversion" and "Barack Your World," the 17-character game skewers bipartisanly. A pantsless Bill Clinton chases a herd of Monica Lewinskys, Jesse Jackson hurls Hasidic Jews and Anne Coulter has a special "verbal diarrhea" attack.

"It's a real simple game – we're talking Street Fighter, circa 1994," said Dave Holbrook, a freelance producer and former Disney animator who made it, with help from friends, in his spare time. "It's nothing crazy, but it's a fun little commentary on what's going on. And everybody's special move has to do with their political stance or what they've said."

Now available just for PCs, the game costs $4.99 to download.

The rules on plagiarism, (with full credit to MLK)

Deval Patrick of Massachusetts are not, as Hillary Clinton put it in last Thursday's University of Texas debate, "change you can Xerox," an inappropriate use of another's words: Patrick was advising Obama on his speeches and encouraged Obama to use the lines.

Rule No. 3: If it's from a widely known source, such as the Bible or the founding documents of America, it's not plagiarism. King's speeches, like most civil rights oratory, drew on two primary sources: The Bible and the founding documents of America. King quotes the Declaration of Independence and the Bible in "I Have A Dream," but he does not always attribute the sources. He says "we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream," for example, but does not acknowledge he is quoting God's words to Israel in Amos 5:24.

Revealed: the mystery man behind canal safety signs

As we're in a group only the leader will sound their bell."British Waterways has now erected signs restricting cyclists to top speeds of 6mph"Doubt I will use the waterways now. This speed restriction equates to a journey of 12 hours to get to Falkirk Wheel and back (ordinarily 6 hours); a real shame. I've been using them for years with no animosity whatsoever."I would hide behind something to see if people were stopping to look at them."Kudos for your clean-up operation but I doubt anyone wants to be snooped upon in this fashion. It may also lead to some very tricky questioning if caught. .

Get well, Gazza

At the risk of being thought hard-hearted, I would like to ask what it is about stories of wealthy footballers who choose the path of self-destruction that turn grown men into dewy-eyed, sickenly sympathetic individuals. The self-inflicted harm that sent George Best to an early grave was overlooked by those who rushed to pile tributes upon him. There are many more people, through no fault of their own, who will not get the sympathy they deserve because they couldn't kick a football. .

Secret files against terror suspects revealed

In a proper trial, the public hears (or can obtain transcripts to) both the arguments of the Defence and the Prosecution. There are almost always arguments going both ways.

Here, the media only hears (and therefore reports) the side of the prosecution, along with all of the most extreme of accusations against the 'defendants'. Then again, can you even call them defendants in such a twisted system of justice where it's guilty until proven innocent, and where 'secret hearings' replace courtrooms?
