Without international support, Lebanon may go under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was perceived as an opportunity for progress in the immediate and mid-term future. It opened the way for Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's government to demonstrate its capacity to take the steps needed to regain sovereignty over South Lebanon, consolidate national security and achieve economic recovery and repair of all the damages caused by the war. The government quickly implemented the security provisions of Resolution 1701 south of the Litani River and along the Syrian border, opening the way for an expanded deployment of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, in the South. When Hizbullah conceded the area for this deployment, many observers believed that Lebanon's domestic problems were on the way to being resolved.Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's declaration of a "divine victory" was the first indication of the collapse of the consensus among the Lebanese parties to accept Resolution 1701 and the deployment of the army in the South.

Meet the Hellgate: London party Here are five new screens from Hellgate: London. What makes this bunch different from the rest of the screens we've hosted so far is that it focuses mainly on the characters from the game. And no, they're not necessarily in action. Instead, it basically gives you a more holistic idea of the kind of characters you'd meet in-game. Those of you who were having technical problems with Obsidian's RPG, Neverwinter Nights 2, might want to get hold of the latest patch which updates the game to version 1.02.809. The update is applied automatically from within the game. However, mirrors of a manual patch are available as well. One of the folks over at Obsidian Entertainment stressed that this version is a hotfix and it address the issue with companions "wreaking some havoc on cutscenes and scripted events." Moreover, an issue with the Server Monitor Console was fixed, so I guess they're gradually making up for the slip ups some of you have been complaining about.

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2 - The Rise of ... Whenever I sit down to play an expansion pack, I take a deep breath in the hope that I'm not going to encounter yet another measly franchise-milking title devoid of any notable improvements. We all know of EA's reputation when it comes to the whole milking business, and to top that off, expansions rarely bring anything new to the table, so you could say I was pretty worried. Bedbugs prey on students in two dorms at Stanford By the time they make it to college, often thousands of miles from home, students may have forgotten such advice from helicoptering parents. But an outbreak of bedbugs in two Stanford University dormitories has campus officials warning student residents to watch out for the creepy crawlers and to notify authorities if they suspect an infestation. ``Everybody is talking about it,'' said senior Joe Cackler, a resident assistant in the Alondra dorm. ``Bedbugs are the keyword in pretty much every conversation.'' On the second floor of Cackler's dorm, six students in three rooms were exiled when the flat, brown, blood-sucking parasites were discovered after Thanksgiving break. The third room in the all-freshmen dorm was discovered infected Friday morning.
