    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Katherine Nelson: 310-975-5975 March 24, 2010 [email protected] CASH, TRASH, PAIN AND SODA…WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? NEW PREMIERE EPISODES OF MYTHBUSTERS BEGIN MARCH 24 (Silver Spring, Md.) – MYTHBUSTERS returns Wednesday, March 24 with jaw dropping world premieres hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, and co-hosts Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara and Kari Byron. In all, eleven new episodes will air Wednesdays at 9PM (ET/PT) through June 2010. New premieres begin March 24 with a killer episode testing whether a soda cup thrown from a moving car can be a deadly weapon – and on the March 31 episode, Kari Byron returns to MYTHBUSTERS from maternity leave! The Emmy®-nominated MYTHBUSTERS, which initially launched in 2003, continues to inspire and engage its audience of young and old, geeks and hipsters, science lovers and lovers of explosions. By tackling advanced science concepts in an innovative way that promotes the spirit of curiosity and experimentation, MYTHBUSTERS aims to uncover the truth behind popular myths and legends by mixing scientific method with gleeful inquisitiveness and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create a signature style of experimentation. The March 24 premiere episode takes on Hollywood and real-life. Adam and Jamie talk trash and crash when they test whether a Styrofoam cup full of soda can be a lethal projectile when thrown from a car at high speeds. Does the cup penetrate the windshield of an oncoming car and seriously injure the driver? Jamie and Adam build a number of soda shooting cannons to see how deadly this myth really is, including a never-before-seen shoulder mounted cannon courtesy of Jamie.

  • Cinedigm Corp. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter) ______
    Dear Stockholders, Cinedigm put together a remarkable series of accomplishments over the last fiscal year, completing the Company’s business transformation by solidifying our unique position as a key player in the explosively growing OTT/streaming business. Here’s what we accomplished this year: First, we developed several new streaming channels including Comedy Dynamics and The Bob Ross Channel to build our portfolio to 16 premium streaming channels either launched or under contract to launch. We will soon be at 20 channels and plan to get to 30 in the next 18 months. This gives Cinedigm a large, meaningful and growing channel share on the program guide for every key streaming platform and device. Most of these new channels will be set up in a similar fashion to our recent Bob Ross, All 3 Media,, Team Whistle and LiveXLive channel deals, where we partnered with established branded entertainment companies that bring huge amounts of content to the table and then we operate and launch with our major distribution partners like Roku, Amazon, Tubi, and Samsung. We have a robust deal pipeline of these potential premium new partners and channels now because we have clearly established Cinedigm as the “go to” independent streaming company that can employ our state-of-the-art proprietary Matchpoint technology, an enormous streaming distribution platform and device reach, and a huge digital content library to help launch streaming channels across the entire OTT ecosystem. We can do all that quickly, cost effectively and with almost ubiquitous distribution potential on every device and platform. The quality of the business partners reflected in our new channel deals clearly demonstrates that the entertainment industry understands the advantages of doing business with Cinedigm in the exploding streaming space.

Winston Churchill once called it the Iron Curtain and said it ran from Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea. Both sides deployed military power along this line in the expectation of a major combat. The Western European powers created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) precisely to fight that expected war but the strength they could marshal remained limited. The Soviet Union, and after the mid-1950s the Soviet Bloc, consistently had greater numbers of troops, tanks, planes, guns, and other equipment. This is not the place to pull apart analyses of the military balance, to dissect issues of quantitative versus qualitative, or rigid versus flexible tactics.

  • An Unfinished Debate on NATO's Cold War Stay-Behind Armies
    The British Secret Service in Neutral Switzerland: An Unfinished Debate on NATO’s Cold War Stay-behind Armies DANIELE GANSER In 1990, the existence of a secret anti-Communist stay-behind army in Italy, codenamed ‘Gladio’ and linked to NATO, was revealed. Subsequently, similar stay-behind armies were discovered in all NATO countries in Western Europe. Based on parliamentary and governmental reports, oral history, and investigative journalism, the essay argues that neutral Switzerland also operated a stay-behind army. It explores the role of the British secret service and the reactions of the British and the Swiss governments to the discovery of the network and investigates whether the Swiss stay-behind army, despite Swiss neutrality, was integrated into the International NATO stay-behind network. INTRODUCTION During the Cold War, secret anti-Communist stay-behind armies existed in all countries in Western Europe. Set up after World War II by the US foreign intelligence service CIA and the British foreign intelligence service MI6, the stay-behind network was coordinated by two unorthodox warfare centres of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the ‘Clandestine Planning Committee’ (CPC) and the ‘Allied Clandestine Committee’ (ACC). Hidden within the national military secret services, the stay-behind armies operated under numerous codenames such as ‘Gladio’ in Italy, ‘SDRA8’ in Belgium, ‘Counter-Guerrilla’ in Turkey, ‘Absalon’ in Denmark, and ‘P-26’ in Switzerland. These secret soldiers had orders to operate behind enemy lines in
