PETER LAVIOLETTE did not mince words on Thursday. Laviolette holds his game plan - not just his lineup decisions, but also his strategy and keys to success - closer than President Obama keeps the nuclear football codes. Stoobalou writes "Soon-to-be-celebrity hacker and thorn in Sony's side George 'Geohot' Hotz has denied any involvement in the ongoing breach at the PlayStation Network. The 21-year-old hacker -- who is best known for creating the first software-based hack for the iPhone, and getting hypervisor access and exposing the root key to the PlayStation 3 -- has made it clear that he had nothing to do with filleting Sony's online gaming servers, saying 'I'm not crazy.'"

With so many choices, I had to form a few committees to keep them all organized! So without further ado, we present to you the committee as well as the stories that fit their themes! **Dissonance Committee** It seems that these guys were rather busy this week.

But the outspoken journalist and human rights activist has long been a thorn in Ali Abdullah Saleh's side, agitating for press freedoms and staging weekly sit-ins to demand the release of political prisoners from jail – a place she has been several times herself. Now inspired by the uprising in Tunisia and the resignation of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, she finds herself at the head of a popular protest movement which is shaking the Yemeni regime to its core.
