Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin (UK - DVD R2)
The Wilson Bros set their sights on Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin
In the world of science-fiction fantasy, such is the devotion within certain dark quarters of fandom that if the word 'classic' was a form of currency, it would now have been devalued in a manner not seen since the Deutschmark at the end of the First World War, as there are some that would consider almost every episode of certain sci-fi shows as masterpieces.
During our years of reviewing, we've taken some flack for legitimately criticising certain Doctor Who stories (we reviewed Planet of Evil and were thrown to the wolves for our troubles)—we were also harangued for missing out the Ark in Space when listing early Tom Baker 'classics', but out of the hundreds of stories featuring everyone's favourite Time Lord, there are one or two that stand out as bona-fide classics, and season fourteen's The Deadly Assassin is one of that elite group.
At the end of the previous story, The Hand of Fear, the Doctor receives is summoned to his home planet. The Doctor leaves Sarah-Jane Smith on Earth and makes his way to his home planet of Gallifrey. En route, he has a premonition of the death of the President of the Time Lords and is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Things do not go smoothly and when his premonition comes true, the Doctor is hunted as the assassin and his swift execution is sought before the late President's successor is announced. It becomes apparent that there is a conspiracy at hand and that one of the main conspirators is one of the Doctor's greatest foes, determined to disgrace and destroy him…
The viewers know that they are in for something special and a bit different when the opening breaks from Doctor Who convention by having scrolling text appearing on-screen, with Tom Baker narrating; this provides a little background information on the Time Lords, as it was quite likely that a large number of viewers were too young to remember the last time that they appeared.
Writer Robert Holmes was arguably the greatest writer in Doctor Who history; he was able to take a fairly routine premise and stuff them with interesting characters, exciting story-twists and wonderfully witty dialogue. It was this story that effectively fleshed out the premise of the Time Lords and Gallifrey—prior to this, only little dribs and drabs about the Doctor's own people and home planet had been leaked. The Time Lords first appeared at the end of Patrick Troughton's tenure and only popped up briefly now and again, but were really only sketchy, aloof characters that seemed to exist purely to bicker and procrastinate amongst themselves.
In The Deadly Assassin, Robert Holmes introduced a whole culture, with a social hierarchy and structure, even mentioning the Gallifreyan education system (Holmes was obviously a public schoolboy). The Deadly Assassin introduced other elements that would become firmly entrenched in Who lore, including Rassillon, the Matrix and the Eye of Harmony (which would notoriously reappear in the 1996 Paul McGann TV movie), but it arguably be best known for reintroducing the Master into Doctor Who (actor Roger Delgado was tragically killed in a car-crash in 1973), and the character is portrayed here by actor Peter Pratt in a state that could best be described as 'near death'.
There have been accusations that The Deadly Assassin is little more than a rehash of Richard Condon's celebrated 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate; although some of these criticisms are justified, Holmes takes the basic premise and puts his own slant on things—the result is a tense, exciting romp that broadens the back-story of Doctor Who and presents the viewer with some wonderful performances that really stick in the mind.
Episode three of this story largely takes place in the Matrix (the ultimate repository of all recorded time and events for the Time Lords) and is basically a cat-and-mouse game, as the mysterious assassin hunts his quarry, the Doctor. This particular episode is a change-of-pace to the two that preceded it and is a tense, exciting watch as we see the Doctor using all of his wits and resourcefulness to stay one step of his pursuer. The hunter's identity is obscured by a black mask, which—apart from a couple of careless shots where the identity of the pursuer is revealed—works wonderfully well and almost looks like something from the pages of a comic-book.
It was also the cliff-hanger of this episode that seriously pissed off Mary Whitehouse, who strongly objected to the final image of the Doctor's being forcibly held underwater in an effort to drown him. It's a great cliff-hanger, but from a more mature perspective, you can vaguely see what she objected to—her objection was that the image of the Doctor being drowned would stay in the mind's-eye of a child for a whole week and could have inflicted serious psychological damage upon him (or her). Doctor Who was in a time where the levels of violence and horror was beginning to cause noises to be made by people like Whitehouse and her mob of religious zealots and there are some who would argue that the cliff-hanger of episode three of The Deadly Assassin was the final straw for Whitehouse and she was determined to lobby the BBC to tone down such elements.
Speaking of cliff-hangers—the end of episode two sees the Doctor enter the surreal realm of the Matrix, where he gets his foot caught in the points of what appears to be a miniature railway—as he struggles to free himself, we see shots from several different angles of the train and it's approach toward the Doctor, but it is handled so poorly that there is little-or-no threat and/or excitement and just seems to come off as somewhat camp. The documentary 'Now, Get Out of That', which featured in the wonderful Trial of a Time Lord box-set last year, has people confirming our view on this particular episode ending. Even though the end of episode two is a little questionable in its execution, the cliff-hanger of the third part was to create a deep impression on the public in terms of its effectiveness—more on this later...
The Deadly Assassin has always been lightly ribbed for its almost oxymoronic (or at the very least nonsensical) title; an assassin that wasn't deadly either wasn't very effective in his chosen vocation or he wasn't actually an assassin at all. The 1999 Comic Relief spoof, The Curse of Fatal Death obviously took inspiration from its title from The Deadly Assassin. It should be worth noting that the working title for this story was The Dangerous Assassin, which really wasn't much of an improvement.
Tom Baker is suitably restrained here—perhaps this was the result of not having a female companion to play off. This was the first time in the history of the series that the Doctor was truly alone (although one could argue that he was all by himself for a couple of minutes near the end of the final episode of The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, but we digress…). Baker adds the necessary amount of gravitas to the situation, but includes a degree of humour that does not undermine the seriousness of the story (though he would go on to do just this quite often in later stories)—all in all, it's a great performance, particularly toward the end of the final instalment, where he finally gains the respect of his former teacher.
Frequent guest star Bernard Horsefall is as solid and dependable as ever—keeping the character of Chancellor Goth suitably ambiguous until his true nature is revealed. Horsefall had previously portrayed a Time Lord in The War Games, exiling the Second Doctor on Earth—there has been constant speculation amongst fans that Horsefall is playing the same character in both stories, but this is more than likely mere coincidence.
As well as Horsefall, The Deadly Assassin benefits greatly from other notable guest artists, including George Pravda as Castellan Spandrell who gives a depth to a character that could have just been played as a faceless bureaucrat, but Pravda's wonderful European voice and gravitas really make this a character to believe in; Erik Chitty as Engin plays nicely off Pravda and the two of them make for an interesting double-act. Peter Pratt makes for a suitably hissable Master, but the make-up at times makes it difficult for him to be properly understood.
As per usual, the Restoration Team have done their usual bang-up job in trying to bring the story back to how it looked when it was originally broadcast. The majority of episode three was shot on film and as was usually the case, the original elements were junked when the film was transferred to videotape. The film footage here has been restored, de-blobbed and what-not and the results are most impressive, with the colours being particularly striking. The studio-bound videotape material looks fabulous, as usual.
A special note should be made that The Deadly Assassin has been restored in terms of censorship, too. As mentioned earlier, this story came in for some flak from a certain head of a religiously-motivation organisation; Whitehouse thought that the cliff-hanger of episode three was too scary for children and complained—the upshot was that the BBC cut the scene back for future screenings and the missing footage from the master-tape disappeared. Two copies of the uncensored episode three ending were made (one by the Beeb on U-Matic and the other by uber-fan Ian Levine on a Phillips 1500) and both of these surviving copies were used to restore the cliff-hanger. The results aren't perfect, even after the Restoration Team weaved their magic upon it, but it's still great to see the un-tampered ending.
Predictable as ever, Doctor Who Restoration Team… given the materials, Mark Ayres as worked his magic and it all sounds great. He was also involved with the restoration of the cliff-hanger of episode three and the resulting audio is seamless.
Audio Commentary: Actors Tom Baker (the Doctor), Bernard Horsefall (Chancellor Goth) and producer Phillip Hinchcliffe are on-hand to talk the viewer through all four episodes of this story. This is a pretty informal commentary track—we observed in our review of The Image of the Fendahl that the actor-only commentary was a little wearying, and it was certainly the case, but having Hinchcliffe in this one helps considerably, as he mentions aspects of the production that the two actors had either forgotten or simply weren't aware of. Horsefall is surprisingly lively at times and Baker is suitably barking, makes the most amusing remark in the commentary when he suddenly announces a thought he has about the Pope…
The Matrix Revisited: This featurette runs for twenty minutes and looks at the making of The Deadly Assassin. There are contributions from actors Tom Baker and Bernard Horsefall and producer Phillip Hinchcliffe. Late director David Maloney is well represented by two interviews he gave prior to his death. There is also extensive interview footage of Mary Whitehouse (which we assume was filmed specially for thirty Years in the TARDIS), during which she expresses her disapproval at the drowning cliff-hanger and describes the people behind the show as 'dumb'—silly cow; we cracked open a bottle of champagne when she popped her clogs. Long-term fan (and founder of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society) Jan Vincent-Rudzki is also interviewed, trying to explain the reason behind his dislike of the episode; one can see his point of view in that writer Holmes was essentially satirising the House of Lords and the British public school system, but his views are in the minority, as Holmes did a lot to ground the Time Lords in a sense of reality, rather than just the aloof beings that had been seen in The War Games and The Three Doctors. One sour note has Hinchcliffe bad-mouthing Roger Delgado's Master, vaguely remembering him as a 'pantomime villain'—if that's what he thought of Delgado's portrayal, then Christ knows what he made of Anthony Ainley's…
The Gallifreyan Candidate: This ten minute documentary explores and examines the similarities between The Deadly Assassin and Richard Condon's 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate, using copious amounts of footage from the 1962 movie starring Frank Sinatra—bet that must have cost 2Entertain a pretty penny to use the footage. There are observations from a couple of academics on the subject, who are both informative without coming across as dry. All-in-all, this is damn good stuff from new production company Dene Films—we can only hope that there are more featurettes like these to come.
The Frighten Factor: This sixteen minute featurette examines what exactly makes Doctor Who frightening, with contributions from a diverse bunch of individuals, including a church minister, a comely educational psychologist, writer Terence Dicks and a very ill-looking former producer Barry Letts. This is quite fun, but apart from the aforementioned psychologist, there is not much in the way of real insight, but some of the observations are fun and it is a great excuse (should any excuse really be needed!) to play excerpts from numerous Doctor Who stories, old and new.
Production subtitles: As always, the viewer is presented with a veritable blizzard of facts and information about the production; for a real rush, try listening to the audio commentary and read the production subtitles—it will probably have the same effect of being exposed to a blip-vert...
Photo gallery: Exactly what you have come to expect—an extensive series of photographs, including publicity stills, behind-the-scenes and reference presented set to music from the story. It is interesting to note that there are no images from the extensive location work that took up much of episode three—couldn't the Beeb afford to send a photographer on the shoot?
Coming soon: Delta and the Bannermen. Run in terror, all you good people and for God's sake, DON'T LOOK BACK! We jest, of course…
Radio Times Listing: In PDF format, the RT listing for all four episodes are here, which make for pleasant, nostalgic viewing. Episode two is summed up by saying that 'The Doctor is on trial for his life'—and there's no sign of Colin Baker...
There is also a little Easter-egg that falls squarely into the 'trails and continuity' area…
The Deadly Assassin is one of the crown jewels of Doctor Who, with a witty and exciting script, great performances from all concerned and tense direction by David Maloney (who was arguably one of the best directors in the history of the show). These elements combine to produce something that has been able to stand the test of time and will continue to do so for many years to come.

In fairness with regard to the Mary Whitehouse-instigated cut, the BBC themselves siad they went too far and wouldn't normally have let the uncut ending get through. It's a great ending to the episode but probably was a little too much at the end of a brilliant, but really quite disturbing episode. Mary Whitehouse might actually have been correct in this particular case. Unfotunately, it geve the nation's (in)famous battleaxe exactly the ammunition she'd been looking for to inflict lasting damage on the show. Still, I'll take the uncut version over the recut version anyday!

A non-deadly assassin would probably either starve to death or at the very least give serious consideration to his ideal vocation. "Nonsensical" is pretty apt!
Whitehouse wouldn't have irritated us QUITE so much if she wasn't the mouthpiece for a religious organisation - if she was acting purely in the public interest, then that would not have been as bad, but using religion as a way of propelling oneself into the socio-political arena has always had dubious overtones and seems to elevate the person to the status of demi-god.
Rant over. Apart from the couple of niggles mentioned, we hope you enjoyed our review.

Since there are many board riders who do funky tricks without their chicken loops on, the only way to depower using the quick release is to be still attached to the kite (via leash) given your body and the leash will allow you to push out on the quick release, so (IMHO) the statement is factually correct.
Again, IMHO, a lost kite flying downwind (no chicken loop/no leash/no QR thrown) has the potential for the bar to catch on something/someone and do serious damage given front and rear lines are still equal lengths and the bar will be in "full power position when it catches on something. Throwing the 'Stage 2 depower" is the safest for everyone and you need to be connected to the kite via Chicken Loop or Leash for that to happen.
ps.. I know nothing.

I'm looking to develop the following type of survey - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28062001
The aim is to complete the survey and at the end instead of a 'sport' that you are suitable for it would be a car that 'matches' to what answers you give in the survey. I'm good at the graphics but need some help or advise or plugins that I can use with relative ease?
This will be for marketing purposes to help drive engagement and then for the user to then share on their social networks - for example someone may fill the survey in and it turns out that a Porsche is matched to their profile - so they would be 'inclined' to share with their friends..
Help and thoughts on easiest way to do this please :-)

Posted on October 10, 2012 in Racquets
If heading to the shops is any indication, the holidays are just around the corner. Pick up some lights and ornaments, right next to your Halloween candy! Why bring up yuletide cheer, you ask? Well, now is as good a time as any to get a jump on holiday shopping with a little present for yourself!
With the release of the 2.0 versions, Head has dropped the price of the original YOUTEK IG Extreme racquets to $99 (originally $190). The Extreme racquets are easy to spot. Their bright yellow paint pops from a distance. And off the ground? Well, the racquet offers plenty of pop off the stringbed, too. To control that power, spin is easily accessed with all versions of the IG Extreme. Here's a snapshot of the three IG Extreme models that are on sale:
This midplus racquet is best suited to intermediate to advanced level players. At just over 11 ounces strung, this one is easy to swing and create loads of spin off the baseline. With its mobile feel, the Extreme MP is equally suited to those who like to attack the net.
The model used by WTA pro Svetlana Kuznetsova, the Extreme Pro offers the stability and feel that suits players from the intermediate level all the way to the pro ranks. It weighs in at 11.7 ounces strung, resulting in a solid, stable feel and easier mobility than many other player's racquets. This mobile feel translates into an extremely spin friendly response — great for today's aggressive baseline players.
Intermediate level players who want all that spin of the Midplus and Pro but want more power and more forgiveness should check out this oversize offering. The 107 square inch headsize provides an ample sweetspot, and the 10.5 ounces strung weight is easier to handle. The Innegra technology steps in to help give this lightweight racquet comfortable and stable.
If you like to test drive before you buy, check out a demo. We still have all three models available for demo, and remember, you only pay for shipping on demos — the week-long trial is otherwise free!

Happy hitting (and saving)!

In the last episode of #4GWARS I wondered aloud if AT&T would start referring to their HSPA+ upgrade as "4G" now that T-Mobile was doing it. We were under the impression that AT&T's network could only do speeds of 14.4 Mbps based on comments from their CEO, but new information suggest otherwise.
To my surprise, AT&T is now claiming their HSPA+ network is also capable of the same 21 Mbps speeds that T-Mobile is offering. They even go one step further by boasting their current coverage area is greater that what T-Mobile has right now or will have by year's end.
In an email to Phone Scoop AT&T said, "T-Mobile's claims about 4G are based on the same HSPA+ technology we have deployed to 180 million people today, more than T-Mobile's reported 140 million, and we'll have it rolled out to 250 million people by the end of this month, substantially more than the 200 million T-Mobile says it will have by year-end."
AT&T does not currently offer any "4G" phones, but they do sell a USB modem that takes advantage of HSPA+ speeds. If AT&T really wanted to, they could launch a device similar to the G2 or myTouch 4G and claim they also offer "4G speeds".
Now it appears T-Mobile's new marketing campaign that is promoting them as America's largest 4G network could be in jeopardy.
What do you think AT&T will do? Should they also adopt the "4G" branding when they launch their next superphone? Or should they stick with America's fastest 3G?

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Feb. 28, 2014) – With seeding in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament on the line, the ETSU men's basketball team will travel to take on USC Upstate in the regular season finale for both teams tonight in G.B. Hodge Center.
Tip is set for 7 p.m. and the game will be aired on regional cable television courtesy of CSS, while ESPN3.com will carry the game worldwide via live web streaming.
The Bucs and Spartans enter the game with identical records, with the winner taking third place in the conference standings heading into next week's tournament. Teams finishing in the top four of the league standings will host a tournament quarterfinal game next Tuesday, March 4.
For more on tonight's game, read the game notes below or click on the game notebook link to the right. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State University in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the season with an ankle injury that he suffered in the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times.
The series vs. USC Upstate
ETSU holds an 8-5 all-time record against the Spartans ... Upstate has won the last three meetings, including an 75-63 victory back on Feb. 10, 2014.
Last time out vs. USC Upstate
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 10, 2014) – When combining the start of both halves Monday night, the ETSU men's basketball team was outscored a combined 29-4 by USC Upstate. It was simply too much to overcome. ... In a battle of two teams that entered the game tied for third place in the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Spartans took advantage of the Buccaneers' slow offensive starts to take sole possession of third place in the league with a 75-63 victory inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The Bucs got a game-high 26 points from junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) and a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds from sophomore forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville). However, USC Upstate's individual efforts were even better, as seniors Torrey Craig and Ricardo Glenn both posted double-doubles, combining for 40 points and 30 rebounds. ... ETSU got off to a slow start in the first half, scoring just three points over the first seven minutes of play and falling behind by as many as 10 points. However, a 13-2 ETSU run midway through the half and another 17-7 burst just before the intermission led to a 33-31 halftime lead when an alley-oop slam dunk by Wilson with 28 seconds left capped the scoring. ... After the intermission, the Bucs again struggled, as USC Upstate opened on a 17-4 run and later built a lead of as many as 18 points at 64-46 with six minutes left in the contest.
Last time out
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 22, 2014) – Junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) hit two free throws with 3.2 seconds on the clock and North Florida's Beau Beech missed an opportunity to tie the game with .3 seconds left, as the ETSU men's basketball team escaped UNF Arena Saturday night with an 88-85 Atlantic Sun Conference victory over the Ospreys. ... Beyond the emotions of the win, ETSU senior Hunter Harris (Nashville) also learned that his father was sick prior to the game, and later got news at halftime that he had passed away. Harris still played the second half and finished the game with 18 points and a team-high seven rebounds. ... Meanwhile, Riley finished with a game-high 19 points, while junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) set the single-season record for 3-pointers with a shot at the 9:12 mark of the second half and finished with 18 points as well. ... The game was full of dramatic moments at the end, as North Florida overcame an 85-77 deficit with an 8-0 run that was capped by senior Travis Wallace's two free throws, tying the game at 85 with 12.1 seconds left. At that point, Riley was fouled as he raced to the basket and promptly hit two free throws to make it 87-85 with 3.2 seconds left. ... UNF then inbounded the ball and senior Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) intercepted the pass. He was quickly fouled and with 1.2 seconds left went to the foul line, hitting one of two shots at the stripe. However, at that point, North Florida again made a long pass and found Beach open for a deep 3-point attempt. Gadsden-Gilliard fouled Beach on the play, but the sophomore forward went to the line and missed his first two attempts, sealing the win for the Bucs.
Resurgent Wilson giving Bucs a lift on offense
With his career high 31 points and seven made 3-pointers in the Jacksonville game (2/20), sophomore Lester Wilson (Knoxville) continued his recent resurgence as a major offensive weapon for the Bucs ... Since Jan. 25, Wilson is averaging 15.7 points and 5.1 rebounds a game, while shooting 50 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3-point range, and 95 percent at the foul line ... By comparison, before his recent streak, Wilson had averaged 7.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game on just 33% shooting from the field and 26% shooting from 3-point range.
Rembert making place in history during 2013-14
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) has become one of the most feared shooters in the Atlantic Sun Conference, and this season he has rewritten ETSU's record books ... With 88 3-pointers so far this season, Rembert has eclimpsed the program record of 86 makes in a season, set by Courtney Pigram (Memphis) in 2006-07. ... Rembert's numbers are also some of the best in the nation for an outside shooter ... For those statistics, see Page 4 of this notes package.
Riley breaks out; continues great "sixth man" play
For weeks, those around the ETSU men's basketball team have argued that junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) may be the best "sixth man" in the league ... Recently, Riley has been proving those people right ... In his last nine games -- which includes a career-high, 30-point effort against Lipscomb (2/8) -- the junior guard has eclipsed double digits each time, averaging 17.2 points a game, while shooting 45 percent from the field, 41 percent from 3-point range and 89 percent at the foul line.
Free throws key to ETSU victories this season
What a difference a year can make ... Last season, the Buccaneers struggled for consistency at the foul line, but this year has been a different story ... The Bucs currently lead the Atlantic Sun Conference with a 75 percent shooting clip from the charity stripe, and their numbers are also good enough to rank 9th in the country in free throws made as of Feb. 23 with 568 ... In fact, the Bucs matched the program record for free throw percentage in a game against Jacksonville (2/20), going 18-of-18 for 100 percent at the charity stripe ... Earlier this year the Bucs hit a remarkable 32-of-33 free throws in the win over North Florida (1/23).
Bartow gets win No. 300 overall and No. 200 at ETSU
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow won his 300th career game on Jan. 4 against Kennesaw State, and captured his 200th win on the ETSU bench on Jan. 25 against Jacksonville ... Bartow is the second winningest coach in program history, behind only legend Madison Brooks' 370 victories for the Blue and Gold. In addition, Bartow's .581 winning percentage also ranks second in the modern era for the Bucs, behind only Alan LeForce's .607 percentage.
Difference between winning and losing for ETSU
Rebounding has been a particular indicator for the Bucs this season when it comes to wins and losses ... The statistics below show the differences for the Bucs is several important categories so far this season.
Statistical category Wins (17-0) Losses (0-13)
ETSU scoring 83.8 PPG....................... 67.9 PPG

Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression this season, and he continued to make more news with his third career double-double in the win over Kennesaw State (1/4) ... In that game, Merriweather also netted a career high with 19 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (6.4 rpg), fifth in scoring (10.1 ppg), first in steals (1.5 spg), and third in minutes played (26.8 mpg). ... He followed that effort with a career high 20 points in the loss at Mercer (1/6).
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 824 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game. ... The Bucs currently rank as the 7th longest streak in the NCAA, just behind Arkansas and ahead of Oakland.
Shuffling starters was the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 33 games ... Injuries and dismissals left ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, but he had used five different starting lineups in the first five games of the year. ... Since that time, he has played with the same starting lineup in 20 of the last 24 games, with the team going 12-8 in those contests.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. … In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

This pilot study will assess the feasibility of using heavy water as a safe 'tracer' for biomarker studies of diseases of the brain and spinal cord, that, together, are also called the central nervous system (CNS). Heavy water, also called deuterated water or D20, is the same as normal drinking water except the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium, a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen. In particular, this study will use heavy water to define: 1) The rate of immune cell proliferation (growth) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared to blood. This study will be examining a particular type of immune cell called T lymphocytes. 2) This study will also examine selected molecules generated by nerve cells of the CNS to understand their rate of secretion and turnover in healthy control participants, HIV-1-infected participants and participants with a non-HIV-related neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
This study will involve the administration of heavy water orally for either seven days, 12 days or six weeks. Measurements will be taken by lumbar puncture (LP, also known as a spinal tap). Blood (approximately five tablespoons per visit) will also be obtained at each of the lumbar puncture appointments.
If this method can be used to establish the rates of immune cell turnover and the production rates of neuronal molecules using cerebrospinal fluid, it will provide unique data that is important to understand chronic neurodegenerative conditions, like PD, and to measure responses to targeted therapies.
- D2O, administered orally, can be used to measure the proliferation rates of CSF T cells (and, eventually, of their major phenotypic subsets).
- D2O can be used to assess the turnover and production rates of CNS constituents that are normally or pathologically shed or secreted into the CSF, including (eventually): cargo molecules transported specifically in neurons in the CNS, such as chromogranin-A and -B, neuregulin-1 (specifically the extracellular secreted ectodomain of neuronal differentiation factor (NDF) isoform type α1, α2, β1, and the acetylcholine receptor inducing activity isoform (ARIA), secreted amyloid precursor protein (sAPP), alpha-synuclein; and APP metabolites amyloid beta (Aβ) 41 and 42.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Wii - 2 reviews
Lowly Worm
Nintendo Wii
Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii was the next installment after the last version which was released on GameCube, it was a huge hit with more than twenty six fighters. This game packs more than forty awesome stages to fight in from Nintendo, SEGA, Konami, ect. This game seriously packs a punch, no pun intended.
A lot of people don't really realize that this game packs an epic soundtrack too. Over forty musicians have been added into this game. My expectations for this game are insanely high! At a glance, you might think this is just a multiplayer fighter game, but once you peel the wrap off the game and put it in your Wii you will find it is so much more than that.
The single player mode storyline is epic and it packs more than 10 hours of Mushroom Kingdom sequences. Furthermore, not until you get halfway through the game will you see a tale that is tied together with all sorts of characters. The graphics are one of the most polished looking games on the Wii to date. They hum along at 60 frames per second and provide a smooth game experience.
The level of customization is incredible in this game too. For instance, you can customize their size, strength, or stamina. Got a friend who sucks, just make his character better. Speaking of playing with friends you can play with friends either with or against them (you can play with up to four different players.) If your a loner and you want to play the game with a computerized friend. How cool is that? There are so many characters in which you can unlock and guess what if you don't like playing the game a certain way (for instance single player) you can play other ways and Still unlock all the goodies.
The controls are easy and you don't need any experience whatsoever. The game packs so much fun and a must to have around when friends come over. I can't even count the hours and hours of lazy time I have gotten out of this game.

MySims: Kingdom - Wii - 2 reviews
Lowly Worm
Nintendo Wii
MySims Kingdom is a cartoony take on the popular social life simulation game, the Sims. Electronic Arts has removed the micromanagement and socialization features of the game, and instead build up on building part. Unlike the traditional The Sims, MySims has a backbone to it – yes, dearies, a story that ties everything together. It used to be that the kingdom was populated by wandoliers citizens with magic wand whose job was to aid the needy – but they all stopped.
The wandoliers resigned, and no one minded to hire any more. King Roland, seeing that the kingdom will fall apart if nothing is done, seeks your help (a wandolier also) to restore order in the kingdom. In order to do so, you must complete several mini – tasks around the kingdom such as building a diner for a robot, aiding a zombie bring life and spruce up his graveyard, among others. These stories are entertaining and you will not notice the hours passing by.
Most of the tasks involve building or decorating; and you will often need specific items that can only be acquired through collecting essences. These essences can be gathered through mining, fishing, treasure hunting, or from trees. Every activity has an abundance of essences, so you won't have to worry about a shortage and not finishing your project. Once you have enough essence, construction can start. Building mode is easy, and transparent outlines are places to guide you on proper placement. Aside from that, you will also be asked to tend to animals, socialize, and find rare and hidden items. The tasks vary on the kingdom's several islands
Navigation is easy, thanks to the mouse – like controls. The Nunchuk is used for your created sim character and the Wii remote is used to navigate through the menus, move the camera, and of course, build.
By completing tasks, certain items will be unlocked that you can use to update your Sim and aid in your construction career. The visuals of the game are appealing and cheerful, even the zombies are adorably cute! The sounds are upbeat, perfect for bringing in energy into the construction yard, and yet relaxing enough. The main story takes 8 hours to complete, but if you want to finish the game 100% the playing hours is doubled.

A play from a book written by a local author begins tonight in Stillwater.
The Broken Statue, a play written by Bob Perry from Shawnee, is currently showing at the Town & Gown Theatre in Stillwater, beginning tonight through March 24 and 28-31.
Show times are 7:30 p.m.on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Sunday matinees show at 2:30 p.m. For ticket information, call (405) 372-9122 or go to http://www.townandgown.org.
The Broken Statue, adapted from the novel of the same title, tells the story about the rise and fall of E.W. Marland, 10th governor of Oklahoma, and his second wife Lydie.
Marland made and lost most of two fortunes before marrying the niece of his first wife and his adopted daughter Lydie in 1928. He was 54 and she was 28 at the time.
After that, Marland lost control of his oil company that would become CONOCO, but was then elected to the United States Congress in 1932 and elected governor of Oklahoma in 1934. Marland served as governor from 1935 until 1939.
Jim Berry, the play's director, is the grandson of James E. Berry who served as long-time lieutenant governor of Oklahoma. James E. Berry served with five governors, but in his first term, he worked with E.W. Marland.
The play is a fictionalize account of the Marland story using many of the real events in their extraordinary public life. The play begins with the narrator finding the long-lost and broken statue of Lydie. The narrator tells his granddaughter the story of how the statue was destroyed, starting with E.W. Marland's arrival in Oklahoma in 1911.
Town and Gown Theatre is a regional community theater in Stillwater formed in 1950. Now in its 62nd season, Town and Gown Theatre has produced over 300 plays.
The Broken Statue play premiered in 2011 at the Jewel Box Theatre in Oklahoma City and won four Gem Awards including Best Actress, Best Feature player, Best Newcomer, and Best Play that year. The play also shows each summer at the Ponca Playhouse in Ponca City where the story is set.
Perry, will be at the March 29 showing in Stillwater. He has written several historical fiction books including, The Broken Statue, Mimosa Lane, Brothers of the Cross Timber, Guilt's Echo, Lydie's Ghost, and Return from Wrath.

The Orioles have agreed in principle with three of their top seven draft picks, including second-rounder Branden Kline, a right-hander out of the University of Virginia who graduated from Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick.
The club also agreed to terms with both of their players from the University of South Carolina, who could not negotiate until after the Gamecocks lost in the College World Series on Monday: Fourth-rounder Christian Walker, a first baseman, and seventh-rounder Matthew Price, a right-handed pitcher.
The deals will not become official until they pass physicals – which are expected Monday or Tuesday.

Indy - Second Helpings 2013by Bryan Roesler '06 • October 7, 2013 Share:
Wabash men and their significant others worked with rescued food to prepare nutritious meals for Second Helpings to distribute. Second Helpings accepts donated perishable and overstocked food to prepare nutritious meals for thousands of hungry children and adults every day, and distributes them free of charge through local social service agencies in Greater Indianapolis. Second Helpings also trains unemployed and underemployed adults for meaningful careers in the culinary industry.
Our Wabash Day group cut up over 300 pounds of potatoes, cut up rescued beef, washed dishes swept and mopped floors. The food we prepared will end up in meals that will feed over 4,500 people all over Indianapolis.
Our group consisted of eleven Wabash volunteers. They were:
Bryan Roesler '06
Ashleigh Graves-Roesler (Bryan's Wife)
Wayne Lewis '06
Jacob Pactor 04'
Angela Smith
Sean Simmons (Wabash grad)

What's up with CS3B?
Looking at my IBP beacon monitor pages over the last couple of days I have noticed an odd thing. I am not receiving the Madeira beacon CS3B on 17m at all.
Extract from G4ILO beacon observations
Either my multiband dipole has a very sharp null in that direction (which I think is unlikely as an indoor antenna probably receives enough reflections not to have any sharp nulls) or the beacon isn't transmitting any signal on that frequency.
A quick check around other beacon monitor pages and I can't see any spots of CS3B on 17m at all. Should I tell someone?

A six pack of 600+ PSUs
Subject: Cases and Cooling | November 23, 2011 - 06:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: antec, Enhance, Hiper, scythe, PSU, modular psu
X-bit Labs assembled a number of PSUs to compare; the Hiper M600 650W, Scythe's Stronger 600W, Antec's Neo ECO 620C 620W, Enhance's EPS-1280GB4 800W and the Scythe Chouriki 2 850W. Most of the models are modular and several have 80+ ratings but unfortunately none stood out as shining examples of a PSU in their particular wattage. Still, it is nice to see a quick comparison of common PSUs found in prebuilt systems, such as the Antec Neo ECO which was pulled from an Antec Sonata IV. Check it out here.
"In this roundup we will discuss six power supply units that offer sufficient capacity for a home computer system. These are the products from Antec, Enhance, Hiper and Scythe."

Spring Yamauchi series lecture focuses on First Amendment
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?
Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - April 23, 2012
The Department of Religious Studies at Loyola University New Orleans presents Barbra Barnett, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of religious ethics, in a lecture, "The Amish Bernie Madoff vs. The First Amendment" on Tuesday, April 24 at 7 p.m. in Miller Hall, Room 114. A reception preceding the lecture will begin at 6:15 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
In September 2011, Monroe Beachy, a 77-year-old Amish man accused of running a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme, was charged with mail fraud after allegedly defrauding thousands of people out of $16.8 million over two decades. The bankruptcy court proceedings against the estate of the so-called "Amish Bernie Madoff" illustrate many of the tensions inherent in the First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom.
Most of the fraud victims urged the court to dismiss the case and allow the matter to be resolved in a forum guided by the values of the Old Anabaptist Orders from which the Amish and Mennonites are descended. However, the court ruled that this would violate the First Amendment.
Barnett will explore the issues that this case raises about the meaning of religious freedom, the grounds for appeal that the Amish and Mennonite communities may have had available, and what this case illustrates about the current state of religiously-grounded, conscientious objections to generally applicable laws and policies in the U.S.
Barnett's research focuses on religious freedom in contemporary society. Currently, she is working on the book "Marketplace of Ideas, Bazaar of Beliefs: The Political Importance of Religious Freedom," which explores the role of religious freedom in democratic political theory and U.S. constitutional law. As a former lawyer, she has experience in corporate transactional and bankruptcy law. Barnett is also the co-editor of a volume on religion and human rights and has taught classes in ethics, religion in America, philosophy of religion and human rights.
This lecture is part of the H. James Yamauchi Lectures in Religion series, which was created in 1985 in memory of professor H. James Yamauchi, S.J., a celebrated former chair of the Department of Religious Studies who taught at Loyola from 1956 to 1966. This series seeks to perpetuate his work by bringing the results of religious scholarship to a wider audience.
Free parking for this event is available in the West Road Garage, accessible from St. Charles Avenue.

Becoming a more local birder
When it comes to birding locally or having a "local patch", I am ashamed to say that it's not something I've embraced. Is it because I don't have any good habitat nearby? Not at all - there are some decent parks around and even a darn good one on a major river on my way to work. I've never once stopped there to bird before work. :( No I don't have any excuse. There are terrific grasslands 20 minutes away, marshes nearby, and a bayfront not too far away.
For some reason, I'm always willing to default to a 45 minute drive to bird at Sandy Hook. It's partially because I like the social element of birding there where I'm bound to run into other birders - and usually ones I know. It's also a place I feel comfortable and I know it well.
With Baby Julian (did I mention he has a name?) coming in September, I know that birding closer to home will become a necessity. I'm going to embrace it fully. I've already began researching local spots, checking out Google maps, and talking to friends. I'd like to concentrate on my home county of Middlesex County even though I'm on the border of a county that has a lot better habitat (and a fall hawkwatch). Middlesex County, in my opinion, is very underbirded except for a small handful of locations. It's mostly developed, but has some interesting waterfront areas, a major river, some nice swamps, and even an odd remnant piece of Pine Barrens habitat (more on that in a future post). It's a pretty large county by NJ standards too. So, stay tuned for future posts highlighting some of these locations and the birds I find along the way. My one big question is... Can someone tell me where there is decent grassland habitat in this county!?

At a networking event in Lewes a few weeks ago I met Laura Diez a bright, bubbly young lady who is extremely passionate about what she does. Over a glass of wine Laura ends up telling me her story.
And that is what I want to share with you; the story of a talented young lady who I think will definitely be one to watch.
Working as a school secretary a few years back Laura began to feel there should be more to life than spending a large chunk of her life doing something that didn't make her happy (I for one couldn't agree more).
From an early age her life revolved around interior decoration and fashion; at the age of 14 she re-decorated her mum's house and Laura realised that's when she was the happiest. After her mum's house she moved on to decorating friends' houses until it became apparent that a life in interiors beckoned and she should follow her dream.
In 2009 Laura decided to study Interior Design at the National Design Academy where she graduated top of her class. As Laura says "Making things look pretty and working on a budget have always been my strong points", so using her interior skills to re-vamp vintage and un-loved furniture, soon turned into a business - Lollipop and Pepper was born!
Laura began trading at craft fairs during he school holidays and frantically sourcing, painting, distressing furniture after school and at weekends. In July 2010 the website www.lollipopandpepper.co.uk went live and so Laura began to think that getting a premise to showcase and sell her furniture was probably the next step. December of that year Laura opened a shop in the Needlemakers in Lewes where she sells her furniture and a selection of vintage interior accessories.
Laura now does what she enjoys everyday, and loves the fact that in a small way she is helping the environment by recycling (or up-cycle as it's become known) old furniture, and encourage others to do the same by offering her Furniture Make-Over Service.
"What comes next is still an exciting avenue that I am looking forward to walking down" says Laura.
So if you want a piece for your house or a client I'd recommend you get in touch.
I find her passion and dedication a breath of fresh air; have no doubt that she will succeed and hope to use her pieces in a future project.

Mahesh Bhupathi, who led a revolt of 11 players against the All India Tennis Association, has slammed the AITA for the way it formed a three-member panel to look into the issues raised by the rebels, alleging that the panel would be "biased" and serve no purpose.
The AITA on Sunday formed a three-member committee, which includes Justice Deepak Verma and former Davis Cupper Naresh Kumar, to resolve the issues with the rebel players, but Bhupathi said the panel was formed to divert attention from the "real issues".
"I am very skeptical about the formation of the committee because the committee has been given a mandate to submit a report in four months while India's next tie will be held in a few weeks' time. This was a ploy by the AITA to divert attention from the real issues. I don't see any urgency on the part of the AITA," Bhupathi said.
"It is very disturbing and frustrating for us. We were hoping that somebody from the management would take charge and try to sort out the issues. It seems that the AITA does not want to engage with us," he said.
After losing to South Korea 1-4 in the Asia/Oceania Group I tie, India play Indonesia from April 5-7 in the first round play-off encounter.
Bhupathi also said that he had reservations about the composition of the committee.
"Two of the members have no tennis background and by putting Naresh Kumar in the committee, there is no chance of the committee being unbiased. I have a lot of respect for Naresh, he has been India captain but some of the writings from his notepad which has been shared in the media have not gone down well with a lot of people," he said.
"All in all, it is very frustrating for us and it is not going to do any good to Indian tennis. We have expressed our views and we will stick by them which we believe would serve Indian tennis well," Bhupathi told NDTV.
Bhupathi also slammed AITA Chief Executive Officer Hironmoy Chatterjee for his remarks against the rebel players but said that he and other players were not interested in joining issues with him.
"I have read what Chatterjee had said at the press conference (on Sunday). He had used harsh words like we are blackmailing the AITA. That has not gone down well with many of us. We can say so many things about which the AITA has not done for so long. There is no reason why the AITA should not contact us," he said.
"Hope something comes out soon. It was very disappointing to see India losing to South Korea but if the AITA remains like this more disappointment will be in store against Indonesia in April," he added.
AITA had agreed to most of the demands of the players like business class air travel and an increase in their share of Davis Cup prize money, but it had put its foot down on selection matters.
The players had demanded that captain S P Misra, coach Nandan Bal, physiotherapist Sanjay Singh and doctor Vece Paes be changed. AITA had agreed but said the players cannot impose their choice as selection was prerogative of the federation.
AITA had removed Bal, Paes and Singh, but stuck with Misra for at least the Korea tie.

She didn't take a shot. She didn't grab a single rebound. She had trouble simply walking across court from the dressing room to the team bench.
Lipscomb Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett doesn't name a Most Valuable Player at the end of the season. But junior post player Rachel Davis could easily be given the MVP award for Saturday night's 68-52 victory over the Belmont Lady Bruins at the Curb Center.
"During our pre-game devotional Rachel talked about how much she would give to be able to play now that she is out for the year," Bennett said. "She was willing to give up a lot of things that are pretty precious to be able to play. I think that was a motivational thing for us."
The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Lady Bisons. It was only their second win against Belmont in 11 outings since Lipscomb joined the A-Sun. It was also the first time the Lady Bisons have won a game in the Curb Event Center.
The Lady Bisons got a major lift early from junior forward Kaleigh Gossman who scored the first eight points. After getting her first shot blocked she connected on a shot from the free throw line, two lay-ups and a two-foot shot to give the Lady Bisons an 8-7 lead with 13:18 left in the half.
"With Rachel and Cree Nix not being able to play I felt some pressure on myself to produce," Gossman said.
Gossman also set a tone for the game before the opening tip-off, telling her teammates to smile on the court. The Lady Bisons listened to her. They played what was probably their most emotional game of the season.
"They just relaxed and played," said Bennett. "They were having fun. They did a nice job.
"It's really easy to play too tight because you want it so bad. That was not the case. We got off to a good start. We continued to play consistently."
The Lady Bisons did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. Belmont pulled within four (21-17) with 2:25 left on the clock in the first half. The Lady Bisons countered with a 10-1 run to close out the first half, taking a 31-18 lead into the dressing room.
In the second half the Lady Bisons did not let up. Freshman guard Jenna Bartsokas hit a 3-point shot on the Lady Bisons first possession for a 16-point lead (34-18), their largest of the game.
The Lady Bisons kept a double-figures advantage the majority of the second half. Belmont cut the lead to seven points (57-50) with 3:26 left to play on a 10-foot jumper by center Brooke Sunday.
"What I really liked was every time they made a run at us in the second half we had answers with an offensive play on our end or a stop when we needed it," Bennett said. "We played a very smart game."
At 10:58 freshman forward Valerie Bronson hit a lay-up for the Lady Bisons for a 47-31 bulge, tying their biggest lead of the game.
"Valerie is good one-on-one player," Bennett said. "She can go to the basket. She got some rebounds. She is playing a more solid defensive game."
Neither team shot a high percentage from the field with the Lady Bisons hitting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the field and 7-of-16 (43.8 percent) from 3-point range. Belmont connected on 19-of-54 attempts for 35.2 percent.
"We didn't expect this at all," Bennett said. "Belmont is a good team. Fortunately, they weren't shooting the ball too well from the outside. It was a game with two good defensive teams.
"We changed our motion offense with the No. 4 player on the perimeter. Our players really liked that. Belmont knows all of our plays. It was good to be able to do something with motion. We did a nice job of finding people who were open."
Four Lady Bisons finished in double figures with Bartsokas leading the way with a game-high 16 followed by Bronson with 14, Jilian Partin with 12 and Gossman with 10.
The Lady Bisons held a 41-37 advantage on the boards with Bartsokas leading with seven and Gossman and junior center Katie Rollins each grabbing six.
Belmont was led by Sunday and center Jessica Bobbitt with 11 each. Shaunda Strayhorn added 10. Sunday grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for a double-double.
The key to game was turnovers. Belmont committed 18 while the Lady Bisons made only nine.
The Lady Bisons are 7-21 overall, 5-9 in the A-Sun.
Belmont fell to 13-14 overall, 7-7 in the conference.

New York Times HypocrisyWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: MEDIA (MainStreamMedia - aka MSM)
by Stephen Lendman
NYT's attempts to set the record straight are duplicitous. They come too late to matter.
On May 26, 2004, Times editors headlined "The Times and Iraq," saying:
"Over the last year this newspaper has shone the bright light of hindsight on decisions that led the United States into Iraq."
"We have examined the failings of American and allied intelligence, especially on the issue of Iraq's weapons and possible Iraqi connections to international terrorists."
"We have studied the allegations of official gullibility and hype. It is past time we turned the same light on ourselves."
It discussed "journalism that we are proud of." It reflected "an accurate (picture) of the state of our knowledge at the time."
It was based on duplicitous intelligence, hawkish neocons, and Iraqi exiles paid to lie.
Times editors admitted "a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been."
Information used was "controversial. (It) was insufficiently qualified or allowed to stand unchallenged. Looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive…."
"We consider the story of Iraq's weapons, and of the pattern of misinformation, to be unfinished business. And we fully intend to continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight."
Follow-through was woefully inadequate. Credible sources were ignored. Scott Ritter was America's former chief weapons inspector.
He vocally criticized sanctions. He opposed US intervention. He said members of his team spied on Saddam. He spoke publicly.
He said no WMDs existed. Suspect sites inspections found nothing. They'd been abandoned for years. "Presidents lie to the American people," he stressed.
"If Rumsfeld had information about Iraqis hiding weapons, why wasn't he sharing this information with the inspectors on the ground?"
He said Bush officials wanted war. Media scoundrels regurgitated White House claims. They showed "a collective cowardice to confront the administration."
They demonstrated a "horrific disregard for facts and for the truth." Americans were willfully deceived. They got false information. They got it daily.
Times editors ignored him. So did other media scoundrels. The rest is history. Pre-2003 Iraq no longer exists. The cradle of civilization was destroyed.
Since 1990, millions died. Millions more were displaced. Iraq's a dystopian wasteland. It's one of history's greatest crimes. It's unsafe to live in.
Judith Miller bears much responsibility. So do Times editors. They featured her daily propaganda. They knew it lacked credibility.
On March 19, Times editors headlined "Ten Years After." The Iraq war "still haunts the United States," they said.
"(It) was unnecessary, costly and damaging on every level. It was based on faulty intelligence manipulated for ideological reasons."
"The terrible human and economic costs over the past 10 years show why that must never happen again."
More on that below.
When America goes to war or plans one, New York Times editors march in lockstep.
They played a lead role in supporting Washington's Iraq war. Managed news misinformation substituted for truth and full disclosure.
Peace never had a chance. Judith Miller was a key instigator. The late Alex Cockburn called Iraq "Judy Miller's war."
"Lay all (her) New York Times stories end to end, from late 2001 to June 2003, and you get a desolate picture of a reporter with an agenda," he said.
"With Miller, we sink to the level of straight press handout."
She wrote daily Pentagon propaganda pieces. Times editors made them front page feature stories. Her most "sensational disclosures" were bald-faced lies.
She wrote "garbage, garbage that powered the Bush administration's propaganda drive toward invasion."
"She was a witting cheerleader for war. She knew what she was doing." So did Times editors. They supported what they should have stopped.
They had ample evidence. Hussein Kamel was Saddam's son-in-law. He headed Iraq's weapons programs. He defected with crates of state secrets.
US intelligence operatives debriefed him. No nuclear program existed. After the Gulf War, "Iraq destroyed all its chemical and biological weapons stocks and missiles to deliver them," he said.
The Times reported it. It then buried what he said and forgot it. It never resurfaced in the run-up to the 2003 war. Lies substituted for truth.
On July 1, 2003, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) headlined "The Great WMD Hunt," saying:
"Within the press, perhaps the most energetic disseminator of "inactionable intelligence" on Iraq's putative weapons has been the New York Times' Judith Miller."
She "accumulated a bulging clippings file over the years full of splashy, yet often maddeningly unverifiable, exposes alleging various Iraqi arms shenanigans." Reports about them included:
"Secret Arsenal: The Hunt for Germs of War" (2/26/98)
"Defector Describes Iraq's Atom Bomb Push" (8/15/98)
"Iraqi Tells of Renovations at Sites For Chemical and Nuclear Arms" (12/20/01)
"Defectors Bolster US Case Against Iraq, Officials Say" (1/24/03).
Former Times writer Craig Pyes co-wrote a 2000 Al Qaeda report with Miller. He wanted his name removed.
"I'm not willing to work" with her, he said. "I do not trust her work, her judgment, or her conduct."
"She is an advocate, and her actions threaten the integrity of the enterprise, and of everyone who works with her. (She uses) unproven assertions and factual inaccuracies. (She) tried to stampede it into the paper."
She substituted propaganda for verifiable facts. She did it daily. She lied for power.
Ten years too late to matter, Times editors reflected. Bush/Cheney & Co. "wage(d) preemptive war against Saddam Hussein and a nuclear arsenal that did not exist," they said.
"They promised a 'free and peaceful Iraq' that would be a model of democracy and stability in the Arab world."
They turned Iraq into a free-fire zone. A State Department travel warning calls Iraq dangerous. Americans are "at risk of kidnapping and terrorist violence."
Car-bombings and other attacks occur regularly. "Yet none of the Bush administration's war architects have been called to account for their 'mistakes….' "
They're guilty of crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. They belong in prison doing hard time. Don't expect Times editors to explain.
They claim Obama opposed the war "from the start." In November 2004, he was elected US senator. In January 2005, he took office. He was uninvolved in the war's run-up.
His voting record was hawkish. He backed defense authorization spending. He supported Homeland Security funding. In July 2005, he voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act. As president he's supportive.
His Senate and presidential policies belie his rhetoric. He supports permanent wars and occupations. He's militantly hardline. He opposes prosecuting Bush, Cheney and CIA torturers. He's more pro-business than some Republicans.
Don't expect Times editors to explain. "Iraqis are responsible for their own future," they say. "It requires more sustained American involvement…."
"Iraq is a reminder of the need for political leaders to ask the right questions before allowing military action and to listen honestly rather than acting on ideological or political impulses."
"Mr. Bush led the war, but Democrats as well as Republicans in Congress endorsed it."
So did Times editors. They did so enthusiastically. They cheerled America to war. They did so duplicitously. They suppressed information potentially able to prevent it. They featured bald-faced lies instead.
They have blood on their hands. Reconsideration now doesn't wash. Setting the record straight in time to matter alone counts. Times editors fail every time.
