Michael Behenna was granted parole after serving five years in the Fort Leavenworth military prison. The former United States Army First Lieutenant was sentenced to 25 years for the death of Ali Mansur — a suspected Al Qaeda operative.

On April 21, 2008, Behenna’s platoon was hit with an IED during a convoy. The attack killed specialists Steven Christofferson and Adam Kohlhaas. Although there were only two casualties, numerous others were severely injured.

On May 5, 2008, Behenna received intelligence that suggested Mansur was responsible for the attack. Based on the military intelligence, Behenna and his platoon captured and detained Mansur for questioning.

On May 16, Behenna was ordered to release Mansur, as the evidence of his involvement in the attack was deemed insufficient for continued detention. The platoon organized a convoy and began traveling toward the detainee’s home.

Although the details have not been confirmed, the platoon reportedly stopped to ask Mansur further questions about the April 21 attack. Witnesses said the detainee refused to answer any questions, which caused Behenna to lose his temper.

Lieutenant Michael Behenna reportedly threatened the detainee numerous times before shooting him in the head execution style. Mansur’s burned body was discovered under a bridge by local villagers.

Behenna argues that he killed Mansure in self-defense. He said he was simply protecting his platoon. The former lieutenant said he shot the detainee two times. However, he did not report the incident because he panicked.

In July 2008, the former lieutenant was charged with premeditated murder. In February 2013, a panel of seven Army officers ruled that Behenna was guilty of unpremeditated murder and assault. He was sentenced to 25 years.

Although the sentence was later reduced to 15 years, the former lieutenant was devastated. He truly believed he was imprisoned for defending his life.

As reported by News OK, Behenna spent five years in prison. However, on Wednesday, the US Army Clemency and Parole Board announced that the former lieutenant was granted parole and will be released from prison on March 14.

Behenna will remain on parole for 10 years. However, he will be free from the confines of the prison. His family said he plans to work on an Oklahoma cattle ranch while he attends classes at Oklahoma State University.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, who has supported Behenna and his family, issued a statement about the news:

“I am glad this long ordeal has finally come to an end for Michael Behenna and his family. Michael went to Iraq to serve his nation and to defend liberty both here and abroad. Instead, he found himself mourning the loss of his friends from the inside of a cell. I believe the Army acted appropriately and compassionately in offering him parole.”

Michael Behenna will return home with his family on March 14.

Service Feature Adds Powerful Way To Shop For Games And Software

February 12, 2014 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today launched user-defined "Tagging" of products on Steam, a leading platform for games and software with over 75 million accounts worldwide.

Now available in beta, Tagging gives Steam customers the ability to "Tag" any title with genres, themes, attributes, or any other term or phrase. The most popular tags on any given product will be surfaced on said product's Steam page and allow users to easily find other products associated with that same tag.

As with the "Recently Updated" section launched last week, Tagging is designed to provide more ways to discover interesting content on Steam.

Additionally, a related product section was launched today, making it easy to browse by any of the frequently used tags assigned by the community.

"As the catalog of products available on Steam continues to grow, we want to ensure that it is easy for customers to find the particular types of games or software they are looking for," says Al Farnsworth of Valve. "With this new feature, we are providing another powerful tool to help organize and browse products on Steam."

User-defined Tagging is available in beta form immediately and is accessible to all Steam users.

If you think cancer removal surgery is but a one-time procedure, you'd be wrong. Doctors don't always cut out all affected tissues in one go, but a new pair of high-tech eyewear could help make that happen. The device, developed by a Washington...

It's amazing what you can find on Google Earth. I once downloaded it just to get some spatial coordinates, but now I use it to casually explore the world. For example, there's a huge Batman logo on a hangar of a US Air Force base in Okinawa, Japan.

And there's this monument erected deep in the desert of Niger. It's the site of the remains of UTA Flight 772, a French airliner that was blown up by terrorists in 1989. In 2007, with great difficulty, relatives of the victims traveled out to the site and built a monument. They intentionally built it to be visible from space.

These are 2 of 50 amazing finds rounded up at Twisted Sifter. You can find the rest here.

Remember the good old days in the 60′s and 70′s when stereos were built right into the furniture? No? Well, that’s where the inspiration for this project comes from. Introducing the Ottoman Empire — a pun so bad we’re not even going to repeat it here.

[Alec] was inspired by Blaupunkt, which is a German manufacturer of electronics who used to make a line of very nice cabinet stereos (examples) which blended furniture and electronics quite exquisitely.

He had recently finished off a rather cool 8-track data backup system, and was left with a spare BSR record player – or as he likes to call it, the “Ford Pinto of record players.” He decided to turn it into something useful by integrating it into a Naugahyde Ottoman that he picked up from a local vintage store. The problem with old furniture like that? No structural elements — it was actually just packed full of shredded wood! He cleaned it all out though and then proceeded to make his own wooden frame to support the BSR — he’s done a great job modifying it to fit, and even hiding all the electronics to make it very presentable.

Now all he needs to do is add a pressure switch in the top so when he kicks back to relax it starts playing some Chopin.

Here’s the latest full trailer for Wally Pfister‘s Transcendence, starring Johnny Depp as an AI designer who is killed in “real” life, but preserved as a digital consciousness. Pfister makes the leap from cinematographer to director here, but you can still see visual traces of his long run shooting for Christopher Nolan. This film looks like the dark thriller counterpart to Spike Jonze’s Her, as Depp’s character is killed at the hands of anti-tech terrorists, leading his consciousness down a pathway where it can expand well past the limitations of human biology.

Transcendence opens on April 17. The new trailer is available in HD at Apple.

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can…but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

Move over, Fabio! Here comes Mario!

Illustrator Echo Chernik collaborated with our pal Shutterstock to come up with what romance novels would look like if they feature 8-bit characters instead of beefcakes. Take a look:

The Forbidden peach, starring Mario, Princess Peach and Luigi, with the tagline "All the coins in the Kingdom couldn't get him the one thing he desired most."

Collector of Hearts, starring Link and Zelda "Their love would become the stuff of legend."

Shot to the Heart: Their Dreams of Desire Just Flew South ... Forever, starring Dog and Duck.

Fierce Moves, starring Ken and Ryu. "They could defend against anything ... except each other"

Chernik said this about this one:

"Street Fighter was fun. I wanted something genuine. I toyed with a fight-scene romance, but finally settled on an image from a very romantic gay-marriage scene, where one man was gripping the other firmly by the lapel. I downloaded textures for the gi collars, and even a hand wrap. To allude to the fight that led up to the romantic situation, I montaged in a wonderful fight scene. Once my montage was in place, I painted on top."

For once, it's Miley Cyrus' dad Billy Ray Cyrus who's turning heads with a questionable move, transforming his 1992 country classic "Achy Breaky Heart" into a hip-hop jam

The remixed song, "Achy Breaky 2," is from rapper Buck 22 — the son of R&B singer Dionne Warwick — and Billy Ray Cyrus is its featured artist. And we wouldn't be surprised if Miley directed the video, because there's twerking. A whole lotta twerking

The video is also set on a space ship, à la Miley's nude, alien-infused "Real and True" music video. Additionally, news anchor Larry King makes an appearance, because why not? Read more...
