Since its return in 2005, "Doctor Who" has done a pretty good job of bringing back villainous races and figures from the classic series in way that re-introduces them into pop culture and updates them for our times.
In the first season we saw the return of the show's most famous villains The Daleks, yet the pilot also included an appearance by the Autons and the Nestene Consciousness that controls them. The second season meanwhile gave us a whole new origin for the Cybermen.
The third cleverly re-introduced The Doctor's fellow Time Lord nemesis The Master and included a brief appearance by the giant crab-like Macra. The fourth brought back both the Sontarans and the Dalek's creator Davros, while the final specials saw The Time Lord's themselves return as bad guys only to be forced back into their time-locked prison.
When Steven Moffat took over the show for the fifth season (and Matt Smith's first), as producer he said he wanted to focus on new villains rather than old ones. That didn't stop the Daleks getting a much debated Benetton makeover while the Silurians also got a more humanoid look than their two previous appearances.
So now we come to the sixth season which premieres tonight with the introduction of a new and creepy villain 'The Silence'. With the exception of the Cybermen, who're scheduled to appear in the mid-season finale, Moffat seems to be sticking to his plans of new aliens and bad guys for The Doctor to tackle this year.
Yet one shouldn't simply dismiss the past, especially one with a four decades long rich history like 'Who'. Many of the best writers in science fiction over the past few decades cut their teeth on the old show and gave us some quite stunning creations and characters.
Some we're brilliant one-offs that shouldn't be repeated and naturally came to an end in their own stories. The double act of mad scientist Sharaz Jek and bureaucrat Morgus from "The Caves of Androzani", Magnus Greel from "The Talons of Weng Chiang", Julian Glover's Jaggeroth from "City of Death", the Douglas Adams-created cybernetic captain from "The Pirate Planet", and of course the assorted creatures under the influence of a great evil in "The Curse of Fenric" etc.
Yet others though do seem like they should be able to come back in some form, certainly hardcore fans would get excited over their return if it were handled right. The end of "Utopia" showed what can happen when a great old villain comes back in a big and clever way.
So, in celebration of the season premiere in a few hours, I came up with a list of a dozen potential villains that haven't been seen since the 70's and 80's that, given the right amount of tweaking, could work well in today's modern version of the show.
1. Omega
Omega was the stellar engineer responsible for creating a black hole which became the power source (the Eye of Harmony) that gives the Time Lords the ability to travel through time and space. Thought killed in the supernova, it was later revealed he had been trapped for millennia alone in an anti-matter universe where he had gone insane and his physical body had perished so he was just a being of pure will.
Omega is one of the more memorable antagonists of the series. With delusions of grandeur and driven by pure (and some would say justified) anger and revenge for what has been done to him, he has demonstrated considerable God-like powers. Certainly he could manipulate the TARDIS from afar which lead to much speculation that he was behind the events of last season. Others think he'll return for the show's 50th anniversary in 2013.
2. The Ice Warriors
A noble but savage warrior empire built on Mars millennia ago, the Ice Warriors are reptilian humanoids with scaly skin, claw hands and heavy green armour with red eye panels.
Appearing in at least four televised serials, storylines have included them trying to launch an invasion against Earth and to seize control of the alien planet Peladon. Their first outing remains the most interesting setup – a "The Thing"-style approach where Arctic scientists come upon a crashed alien ship where the hibernating warriors are awakened.
Arguably the last of the major 'Who' races from the old series yet to make an appearance in the reboot, they were referred to in a roundabout way in "The Waters of Mars". To not bring them back at some point in the future would be a crime.
3. The Rani
Like many 'Who' villains this was one that was great in concept, limited in execution. The Rani was an interesting creation in that though she was a renegade Time Lord, she was quite different in villainy to others of her kind. The Rani had no lust for power or desire for revenge. Instead she was an amoral scientific genius whose only driving passion was her scientific research (mostly genetics and biochemistry).
This makes her an unpredictable foil, one that will ally with whomever helps her own cause. Everything, including morality, is secondary to her work. The previous appearances of the character on the show are in some of the worst episodes ever written which is why she never became a major antagonist like The Master. Yet there's been a lot of fan-fueled desire to see her return with Gillian Anderson once floated as a possibility.
4. The Valeyard
This one's a bit of a cheat as we saw something akin to him last series in the form of Toby Jones' "The Dream Lord" in the episode "Amy's Choice". The Valeyard was the prosecutor at the sixth Doctor's trial, a storyline which spread over a season and which had the Doctor matching verbal jousts with this savvy and effective orator.
In the final episode the truth about The Valeyard was revealed, he was a distillation of the Doctor's evil side, a potential dark version who might exist around his twelfth and thirteen incarnation – a creation acting on behalf of the Time Lords who were trying to cover up their own corrupt actions. 'The Valeyard' is essentially the dark twin of The Doctor, his Mr. Hyde as it were. It's unlikely the character would come back directly, but a variation of him (like The Dream Lord) would be ripe for dramatic exploration.
5. The Black Guardian
Both The White Guardian and The Black Guardian are anthropomorphic personification's of universal forces. The former desires order and maintaining the status quo, the later seeks entropy and chaos throughout all existence.
The Doctor obtains the Key to Time, a device that gives the wielder supreme power over all existence, and disperses it before the Black Guardian obtains it. In doing the pair become eternal enemies and the Black Guardian ends up coercing one of The Doctor's companions to work for him and ultimately attempt to kill The Doctor.
The Doctor's has thwarted this powerful being at least twice and he is expected to return in the future, angrier than ever. However The Black Guardian is limited in that he cannot be seen to act directly, thus he and his 'White' counterpart can only affect things through agents.
6. Borusa
The Doctor's former teacher was also a major political power player in Time Lord society on Gallifrey and eventually becomes President of the High Council. He also served as something of an ally to The Doctor on three occasions.
On a fourth occasion, a faulty regeneration turned him evil as he sought Time Lord founder Rassilon's fabled secret of immortality for himself. That quest turned him into a living statue.
With the Time War seeing the resurrection of various famous Time Lords like The Master and Rassilon despite their apparent deaths, the return of Borusa in some form isn't out of the question should Moffat & co. find a way around the 'Time Lock' problem. Indeed, having a character who was essentially The Doctor's mentor as an antagonist has all kinds of possibilities.
7. The Osirians
A highly advanced ancient civilisation with immense psychic powers and a stunning grasp of mathematics, they essentially were the Gods of ancient Egyptian civilisation. We've only seen one Osirian – Sutekh the Destroyer in "Pyramids of Mars".
In that story Sutekh had been imprisoned by his fellow Osirians under the surface of Mars and was using robotic mummies and a re-animated dead scientist to try and free him after several millennia of incarceration. The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith stopped him.
One of the great singular villains and stories of all of "Doctor Who", 'Mars' introduced a distinct looking race I know I'd love to see again in the future. However the inevitable "Stargate" comparisons would likely be made. Gabriel Woolf, who voiced Sutekh in the old serial, appeared on the reboot as the voice of the Devil-like 'The Beast' in the second season.
8. The Zygons
While their look was akin to an octopus mated with an STD-riddled male reproductive organ, the Zygons were an aggressive enemy who left an impression despite appearing in only one adventure.
Refugees after a planet exploded, these warriors had the ability to replicate another being's appearance but had to keep said being alive in order to maintain it. They also used a giant armoured cyborg creature as a source of food and protection, a creature which we know as The Loch Ness Monster.
All their technology is biologically based, and in non-canon works they had poisonous barbs protruding from their hands. Not just a fan favourite, these were also the favourite 'Who' alien of tenth Doctor David Tennant.
9. The Draconians
The Draconian Empire was portrayed as a vast spacefaring feudal civilisation akin to early Japan with strong notions of honour and various class and gender-specific societal lines. The creatures were reptilian in physiology but were articulate, sophisticated and advanced with no real thirst for conquest.
In 'Who' history they and humanity were in the midst of a Cold War during the 26th century which The Master and The Daleks attempted to 'hot up' as it were. The Third Doctor exposed the plans and so Earth and Draconia united against their common enemy.
Appearing only in one serial, 'Frontier in Space', The Draconians nevertheless left an indelible impression and beg further exploration. Indeed, their race was one mentioned during last year's episode "The Pandorica Opens" leading one to hope we might get to see them again.
10. The Celestial Toymaker
A powerful being who ensnared sentient beings in apparently childish games. At stake? Their freedom. The Toymaker also rigged the games in his favour as he hates to lose.
A being made of a fundamental power of the universe, referred to as 'The Crystal Guardian' in 'Who'-related literature, the Toymaker was an invulnerable immortal capable of space and time travel at will. His immense power however was limited by the rules he set for any particular game.
Though the character's 'Mandarin' outfit would have to be changed, the conceptual idea of the character is one that still holds a lot of potential and makes him something akin to John De Lancie's 'Q' in the "Star Trek" universe.
Of course the role is identified very specifically with the recently passed on Michael Gough, whomever is hired to take his place would have some big shoes to fill.
11. The Sea Devils
The aquatic cousin to the land-band Silurians, 'The Sea Devils' spoke in sinister whispers yet had very similar motives – they were an advanced civilisation that went into hibernation millions of years ago to avoid a cataclysm.
With one colony having woken up in modern times, they set out to reclaim the planet while The Master used advanced technology in an attempt to control them and turn them into an army to do his bidding.
With last year's Silurian two-parter having dealt with that similar villain's return, the chances of the 'Devils' making a comeback now seem pretty slim.
Still, if one writer could come up with an interesting and different take on this race, there's still potential here – especially with today's larger public awareness of the environment and ocean conservation efforts.
12. The Great Vampires
Colossal humanoids with grey skin and wings, the Great Vampires are like regular vampires except extremely large and powerful with one individual able to drain the blood of an entire planet's population.
They can absorb energy weapons and survive numerous wounds, but they can be killed by a stake through the heart – a stake of such a size that has to be fired from a starship. Indeed, in their one very brief appearance in the serial "State of Decay", The Doctor has to use a spaceship posing as a giant tower building to kill the leader of their race.
The Great Vampires also engaged in a five centuries long war with the Time Lords, one the Vampires lost but not without inflicting major casualties.

Within a two week period, by employing a wide range of in-house equipment and a proprietary method, Agenda 1 isolated and identified from a base form of cinnarazine a range of potentially highly soluble salt forms . When tested, all the forms showed improved solubility, with the HCL form showing a 500x increase compared to the base.
On initial synthesis most API's are isolated in the base form, but these base forms often have poor bioavailability caused by poor solubility. Consequently, investigating the solubility of different salt form options is of critical importance and it is perhaps no surprise that an estimated half of all commercial drugs are administered as salts.
Typical Salt Screens Programs (programs investigating potential conjugate forms) are costly and time consuming, partly because they investigate a very broad range of possible conjugates. Agenda 1 has developed a tightly focussed screen concentrating on a narrow group of counter ions. This limitation means the work can be completed quickly and cost effectively, but it can still produce salt forms with significant benefits over the base.
The following is an example based on the antihistamine drug cinnarazine, the base form of which has limited water solubility.
Agenda1 has a very wide range of equipment onsite with the majority of the equipment maintained to GMP standards and all of it operated by an experienced team of Agenda1 staff. The salt screen work was carried out using TGA, DSC, XRPD, HPLC and proton-NMR (the latter operated by Bradford University).
Specifically the work included
XRPD – Analysis was carried out using a Bruker D8 Diffractometer under standard conditions. The resulting diffraction patterns were compared to indicate whether salt formation had occurred and the degree of crystallinity obtained.
TGA and DSC – Both TGA and DSC were carried out using a PerkinElmer Pyris1.
For the TGA, heating began from 5° to 200°C to determine the residual solvent level and the degradation temperature of each sample.
For the DSC, heating began from 25° to 235°C to determine the onset temperature and enthalpy of the melt peak. A single melt would indicate the presence of a fully formed salt.
To ensure an efficient and effective salt screen, Agenda 1 developed and documented a tightly controlled experimental process. This screen was part of a regular program of investments in techniques to support the clients developing drug program.
The screen involved the following steps:
- A desktop evaluation of the cinnarazine molecule to establish the candidate salts based on the pKa value(s). The stoichiometric ratios of each acid/base reaction were calculated.
- The solubility determination of cinnarazine in common organic solvents was verified, as both base and acid need to be soluble in a range of solvents. The base was characterised using DSC, XRPD and HPLC.
- Sighting shot reactions at low mg values were performed using temperature cycling and agitation. The precipitate was then analysed using DSC and XRPD.
- Scale up reactions to isolate the product was performed and analysed using TGA, DSC, XRPD, HPLC and proton-NMR.
- The relative solubilities of the salt and base were determined using in house techniques.
The results showed that a well researched, tightly focussed, experimental program can produce valuable data in a short time. A salt screen was successfully completed within a two week time scale. Four salt forms were isolated with a good yield, three of which were tested and showed significant solubility enhancement in water compared to the starting base. In particular, the HCL salt demonstrated a 500x increase in solubility.
The following salts were readily isolated in pure form from the five acid/four organic solvent combinations tested, three of which were further tested (see table 1 below):
Cinnarazine HCL (140°C melt). This salt proved to be the most effective improvement in solubility compared to the starting base when assessed in Simulated Gastric Fluid.
Cinnarazine benzene sulphonate (150°C melt)
Cinnarazine fumarate (200°C melt)
Cinnarazine toluene sulphonate
|Water Solubility (mg/mL)
|Solubility Enhancement Factor
|Cinnarazine HCL
|Cinnarazine Benzene Sulphonate
|Cinnarazine Fumarate
|Cinnarazine Base

STAR JESSE LEE SOFFER - TO TALK ACTING, CHICAGO P.D., MOTORCYCLES AND HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON ROADSTER CAMPAIGNJesse Lee Soffer is currently starring on the hit NBC show Chicago PD with recurring spots as the same character Jay Halstead on Chicago Fire. Jesse began his film career in 1993 at age eight in the movie Matinee. From that point on, his work included time on such television series as Guiding Light, As the World Turns and in the film In Time amongst others.Jesse Lee Soffer, avid motorcycle rider and enthusiast, is available to discuss his love for riding, his involvement with the new Harley-Davidson Roadster campaign, his role on Chicago P.D. and his career including other projects he has in the works.Jesse helps introduce the new Dark Custom Harley-Davidson Roadster motorcycle, Harley-Davidson is taking its new stripped-down, agile bike to city streets via pop-up Bike-Shares to give people a chance to test the bike out in its intended urban environment.Harley-Davidson borrowed the popular bicycle share concept to showcase how, for as little as seven bucks a day, Americans can own a new Dark Custom™ Harley-Davidson® Roadster™ motorcycle – less than the daily cost of a bicycle share rental in all U.S. cities. Temporary Harley-Davidson motorcycle-sharing stations showcasing the Roadster will pop-up in select U.S. cities, including Portland, Los Angeles and the Motor Company's hometown of Milwaukee, just as Roadster hits local dealerships.ABOUT CHICAGO P.D (WEDNESDAYS 10/9 CENTRAL)At the center of "Chicago P.D." is Detective Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), who is at ground zero against the war on crime in Chicago. He will do ANYTHING to bring criminals to justice.From multiple Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer Dick Wolf and the team behind the hit series "Chicago Fire," "Chicago P.D." is a riveting police drama about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department's elite Intelligence Unit, combatting the city's most heinous offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond.Handpicked as the head of the Unit is Voight, who has assembled a team of diverse detectives who share his passion and commitment to keeping the city safe. They include Detective Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) who is more levelheaded and "by the book" than his counterpart; Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer), a brash young detective who previously saw active military duty in the Middle East; Halstead's partner Erin Lindsay (Sophia Bush), a former "bad girl" who turned her life around with Voight's help; Alvin Olinsky (Elias Koteas), an experienced undercover detective and confidante for Voight; and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), a quick-witted cadet plucked from the police academy as Olinsky's partner.The unit includes a new member in the form of Kevin Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins), a charismatic patrolman who recently was brought upstairs. Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Sean Roman (Brian Geraghty) assist with the unit, but on a daily basis, they work the streets as uniform patrol officers working with Intelligence whenever necessary. Desk Sgt. Trudy Platt (Amy Morton) runs a tight precinct with tough love, although she lets her softer, more vulnerable side shine through from time to time.WWW.H-D.COM/ROADSTERWWW.NBC.COM/CHICAGO-PDACTOR, PRODUCER, WRITER AND DIRECTOR, JOE MANTEGNA TO CO-HOST ANNUAL NIGHT OF REMEMBRANCE HONORING OUR AMERICAN HEROES: PBS' NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT JOE MANTEGNA AND GARY SINISE CO-HOST ANNUAL NIGHT OF REMEMBRANCE HONORING OUR AMERICAN HEROES: PBS' NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERTLive From the U.S. Capitol, All-Star Line-Up Features: General Colin Powell, Renee Fleming, The Beach Boys, Katharine McPhee, Trace Adkins, S.

Barnsley Youth Choir is planning to return to the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2018, but the choir needs your help to get there!
The choir first performed at the renowned arts festival in August 2016, winning rave reviews for its performances in the city's legendary Greyfriars Kirk. Barnsley Youth Choir is now seeking to take 140 of our members aged between10-24 years of age to represent Barnsley and Yorkshire in the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2018 and we need support from local people, businesses and organisations to make this possible.
All of our children are working so hard to raise money but desperately need your help! They have already done cake sales, bag packing and also taken part in a 14 hour, through the night, non-stop sponsored Singathon where they raised £17,000! ey aren't asking for hand-outs – they just need some help along the way.
Barnsley Youth Choir is a registered charity and voluntary organisation that supports an amazing team of children. We provide outstanding opportunities for over 350 young people to access world class training, give exceptional performances in this country and abroad, empower young people and strengthen connections throughout the local community; irrespective of a child's background or financial status. Barnsley Youth Choir has become a flagship ensemble that represents the town on a local, national and international stage. It is now ranked 4th in the World Rankings and is the highest ranked GB choir in the world.
The Fringe
With over 3,000 shows visiting from across the world, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which runs from 3 to 27 August 201, attracts the very best performers in the world. Despite the vast number of shows on offer, Barnsley Youth Choir is confident that its shows will stand out following their meteoric rise to success over the past few years.
How can I support your efforts?
There are a number of ways to get involved. By clicking one of the images below, you will launch a document that tells you about each of the opportunities. These can be downloaded and saved so that you can share them with anyone else who may like to support us.

Well, dear readers, we're back after taking a week off for Spring Break. That means two posts this week to catch up. The Battle of the Bulge continues - last week an encouraging loss of 6lbs, but it looks like 3 of those have come back this week to haunt me. I took the Z-Man to East Texas to see my grandmother and her husband, and I should have predicted a complete and total lack of anything that resembled MediFast's concept of "Lean and Green." Boudin. Fried chicken. At least when we had BBQ I could do the BBQ chicken - but no green sides. Not one. Potato Salad? Check. BBQ Beans with sausage and ground meat in them? Check. A.... salad? Nope. Green beans? Negative. I did the best I could, and avoided totally killing my diet (or so I thought) and still somehow ended up putting back 5lbs, which is down to 3 as of this morning.
I'm going to be honest - frustration and just plain fatigue with the situation has begun to set in. Every month I'm not at 217 is a month I watch my friends go to drill and learn and serve our great state in the Texas State Guard. Even with the hopefully temporary regain, I am 45lbs lighter than I was when I originally attempted to enlist - yet I am still worthless to the battalion until I lose another 25ish lbs and hit 217. In the meantime, there are a few members of the regiment who are quite a bit more overweight than I am, and they continue to serve under some unspoken grandfather clause. It's frustrating. If there's a standard, there's a standard. If not, then I would dearly prefer to be training and serving as the weight comes off rather than being permanently benched. I've even stopped going to drills because a lot of the training the unit is doing these days is of a nature that I cannot take part in until I'm sworn in for insurance reasons. It's frustrating, and borderline depressing. My son watches Thomas the Tank Engine, and I now totally understand the obsession Thomas and his friends have with being "Really useful." I know I'm a good dad, and I've been told that by folks from Arrow, CASA and CPS as well as friends and family. I know I'm a good student, I have my BA with honors to show me that. I know that I could be a "really useful" soldier, and an even more useful NCO, but every day I struggle with my weight makes me that much closer to just saying "screw it" since I watch the people around me happily eat what they want, and even a tiny deviation from my MediFast plan means no weight loss or even a small gain. I miss rice, gorramit. I miss being able to indulge in the kind of food my Mammaw serves. I miss going into a restaurant and not immediately looking at the salads and grilled chicken items. I realize I'm never going to be able to eat chicken fried steak or chinese food as regularly as I used to - but a once a week comfort meal would be nice, and I can't even allow myself that. Every ounce is that much longer my good friends wait for me to swear into the battalion with them, that much longer the officers and NCOs have to pass judgement on my lack of commitment to getting into the Guard, and that much longer I get to look at myself and see a goal that I just can't seem to reach because the Guard doesn't care if I've lost 45lbs, they will care when I hit 217. Do or do not, I suppose, there is no try.
So what's the good news? We have a tentative adoption date. As things firm up I'll post here what it is. This means we're counting it down, we have an actual goal date. Next week I have to go to a court hearing to see what's up with the case, but it's pretty certain at this time that Mary and I will be parents in the near future without the "foster-" prefix. This cheers me up some, but there are still the two hurdles of figuring out what the hell we're going to do about childcare once the state is no longer assisting us, and getting our fire marshal certification at our home. That's right, they found something else they didn't like - I have to move our friggin freezer because it uses an "extension cord." Ugh. Dammit. That's the mediochre news. At least Lt. Davis from RRFD is giving us the opportunity to correct the situation without getting charged again. He's a pretty awesome guy, and I appreciated his information and his honesty about stuff. It's nice that he took the time to explain *why* the FD is so concerned with extension cords, and how permanent use of one can screw the homeowner if there is a fire.
Now - on to the gaming part. SAVAGE WORLDS.
Readers who've tagged along for a while have noticed that we love us some Battletech, but the current RPG rules set leaves us a bit unsatisfied. It's more complex than it needs to be, and in trying to cover the entire Battletech timeline ends up containing none of the information you really need to do any one time period aside from the rapidly changing current one. We've looked at several other systems, including a homegrown one based on the older MechWarrior and MechWarrior 2nd Edition games. This past RDG meeting, we tried Savage Worlds for 'Mech combat on the heels of our previous test of Savage Worlds for characters and interpersonal combat.
It worked well. Very well. The folks at Dischord Company have done a Savage Worlds Fan conversion of Battletech to SW and it's pretty damn good. They've hit all the high points of Battletech while keeping the Fast! Furious! Fun! rules lightness of Savage Worlds. To take a look at what they've got going on, check out their latest version on the Pinnacle forums here. As of this writing, they're in Revision 12 of their rules.
Man, did they hit the high points. There are background packages for all the major (and some minor) factions currently extant, build with a zero-sum scheme so that they add to the characters without being a "race" and thereby losing the free Edge humans get. They have edges that work inside a BattleMech, like offsetting the penalty for indirect fire, or rapid movement. Their 'Mech rules use standard BTech ranges, 'Mech sheets, etc. but offer quicker combat resolution, fewer phases, and the ability to score crits on a Raise as opposed to just when armor is breached or snake-eyes is rolled on a location chart. We found that once we got the rules down it move a LOT faster than standard Battletech.
We decided to make a couple of modifications to the fine work the Dischord Company did. First, we eliminated measuring the distance a 'Mech travels during the movement phase and used a fixed value based on speed as is done in Quick Strike. This means that there's no more need for us to futz with movement dice as such, although we did keep glass beads so we'd know who had moved and fired at all. The reduction of phases to make move, fire and physical one phase is a mixed blessing. This makes the game run a LOT faster, but also makes some of the tactics of winning initiative a bit different. Players will have to learn to hold initiative if they want the advantage of moving last, but this will allow them to be shot at first unless they win the contest of Agility to interrupt an opponent's action...
We also decided that a raise when firing on a MechWarrior who is an Extra means an automatic single crit to a location rolled - the most damaging weapon in a weapon group. This will help Wild Cards stand out over Extras, and will also help keep tanks popping when compared to 'Mechs. Sadly, we forgot we wanted to try this rule and played a whole battle without it. The result was ridiculously tough tanks, as we were also using the OLD tank crit charts.
The folks present for this test-run voted unanimously to adopt Savage Worlds as our game system for our Battletech campaign, and we will be using Savage Battletech for combat. I look forward to seeing where all this goes. I can't wait for Saturday, when we'll be doing character creation for the new campaign...
Singing off, for the moment.

Interview by
Michael J. Lee
, Executive Editor
November 11, 2004
Based on true events that occurred in the political hotzone of 1994's Rwanda,
Hotel Rwanda
chronicles the story of Paul Rusesabagina, a real life hero who used his resourcefulness and connections as an upscale hotel manager to save the lives of over 1,000 refugees. Tensions between the Hutu and the Tutsi, two Rwandan social factions, had set the stage for a bloody genocide, and nearly 1,000,000 people were killed in the span of 100 days while most of the world stood by and did little to intervene.
Hotel Rwanda
is directed and co-written by Terry George (
In the Name of the Father
) and stars Don Cheadle in a dramatized portrayal of Paul Rusesabagina. In this exclusive interview, we had the rare and exciting opportunity to talk to the remarkable person whose story served as the inspiration for the film. Armed with a first hand account of history as it unfolded, Paul took the time to speak with us about the events depicted in the movie, the international response to Rwanda, and his role in this chaotic time, about which he is extraordinarily humble.
Paul currently lives in Belgium with his wife, Tatiana, and their family.
The Interview
RadioFree.com: Considering the gravity of the material, are you happy with how the movie turned out?
PAUL: Very happy.
And do you think it successfully conveys the message you wanted to get out?
I'm sure that it is going to get a message through, because there is a will. This message, I've been trying to convey it since 1994 during the genocide. To me, the film is a success. It is done, and I wish that many people could see.
Director and co-writer Terry George said he didn't want to shoot this as a documentary. Do you think that decision is in the best interest of the story, and that it widens the potential audience?
Well, I think it's right. And one of the reasons I didn't agree with many of the film and documentary makers is because they wanted, first of all, to make it a cable movie. A television film. Secondly, some others wanted to make a documentary. And I was not really interested in a documentary. I wanted something that would last and something that would reach as many people as possible. Something that could be used as a teaching tool to many people and bring the leaders back to their duties and responsibilities. And when I met Terry, I saw that he was the right person to do it, according to what he had done with
Some Mother's Son
In the Name of the Father
, and so on.
While these events were occurring back in 1994, what were you and your friends and family thinking about "the western world"? Did you feel that the international community had turned its back on your situation, even though you were faxing them letters about what was going on?
Well, it was actually true. The world had turned its back. We have been left down. Abandoned. On our own. But sending them faxes was just trying to disturb them so that even if they don't do anything, they remember that one day they had been told.
Do you remember being upset with the United Nations, or the United States in particular, for not doing more at the time?
Well, I was always upset. I was always a little bit tense within myself. I was always worried about working fast. I did not have time to think about many things, because each and every day, each hour, each second represented its own danger. And my main objective was to act as fast as possible to avoid disaster and catastrophe.
Do you think countries like the United States have a responsibility to intervene when they see things like this going on, even if it means getting involved in the civil war of a sovereign entity?
Even if it is a civil war, I believe...why did they intervene in Afghanistan? Why are they in Iraq? Why can't they? I don't ask the United States to intervene, but why don't the United Nations have their own army which could intervene in case innocent civilians are being butchered? Such is the case in Sudan. It is the case in Congo for the last many years. It is the case in Burundi for many years. And the United States have got a role to play in that. A predominant role, actually.
Do you consider yourself the hero that many people see you as?
[laughs] No! I don't consider myself a hero. I consider myself as a normal person who did what he had to do, who has done his job. And this is it.
You don't feel as though you did something extraordinary?
No. What I did just came like that. And I never thought that I was doing something. I only went on doing my job. Doing my work, my responsibility, my day to day duty.
Were there many people who tried to help others, as you did?
Some people did it. And some even were killed. But unfortunately, no one recognizes them. Even Kigali does not. And those who were killed, they're the heroes.
At one point, you had the opportunity to leave with your family, but you chose to stay behind with the refugees at the Hotel Mille Collines. It was obviously a difficult decision--did you think that perhaps it would be best for your family if you had left with them?
No, I didn't think about leaving, because all of the people who were in the Mille Collines, they only had hope in me. And leaving them down, it would have been a disaster. And as I told you, sometimes we have to face history. And once you face history, you go back in time, remember what took place, and you see that you didn't do what you're supposed to do, and you regret. And I don't like to regret.
Did you discuss this decision at length with your wife?
Yeah, we discussed it with my wife and the children.
And what were her feelings on your decision?
First of all, she didn't accept it as easily as that. But we had to talk it over and over again, and we came to a conclusion. Then she accepted and left with the children, and I remained behind.
You estimated earlier that about 90% of this film is a literal depiction of the events, while about 10% may be a bit of embellishment. Was that conversation with your wife a part of the story that was changed for dramatic effect? In the movie, it's shown as a last minute decision on your part.
Yeah. In the movie, it was the last minute, which actually is not me. Because the last minute, I don't do things like that. [laughs] But we talked it over, and I remained behind.
Which countries had a military presence in Rwanda in an effort to maintain peace and order?
Actually there were many countries which were in Rwanda during the genocide before they pulled out. There were Canadians, there were Belgians, there were Bangladeshis, there were Ghanaians, the Congolese. Those five countries were there.
And did the United States have any troops stationed there?
No. I think that the United States didn't do it only because of the Somalia experience.
Do you feel that current history books do justice in their portrayal of the Rwandan genocide?
Well, you can never do justice after all that has happened. There is no book so far which does justice. All I can tell you, there is a winner and a loser. Now, all the books are talking about the loser. But time will come when also the winner will be talked of.
Thank you very much for your time, sir.
You're welcome. It's a pleasure.

David Tudor was a quiet, private, and highly secretive individual. He enjoyed the company of others, but in the 1960s and 1970s he seemed wary of making close personal ties; his work was the overriding concern of his life. He mentioned his former close friend Mary Caroline Richards to me only one or twice in passing. He never discussed his family, politics, philosophy, or religion in my presence. On Sunday afternoon, 10 October 1999, I had the opportunity to speak with Joy Nemiroff, David Tudor's sister, for the first time. During our telephone conversation I apologized to her that I knew almost nothing about her. I explained that David Tudor never mentioned his family to me. She chuckled (reminding me of David Tudor's chuckle) and said, "Remember, I grew up with him." David Tudor was two years younger than his sister.
He never owned a car during our acquaintance; he may not have even learned to drive one. But this was no impediment to his activities; why drive when he could get others to drive (and load and unload) for him? His 100–year–old farmhouse near Stony Point, NY was modestly furnished; I found it to be a bit cold in winter. He had hot and cold running water indoors (from a well) but by necessity he and his guests used an outhouse.
David Tudor was the quintessential experimental composer. He experimented at home, he experimented on his travels, he experimented on stage: before, during, and even after his concerts. He kept a supply of almost–dead batteries on hand for powering his many electronic modules, treasuring them much more than fresh ones, which he could always buy. He liked the sounds he obtained from his equipment while his batteries were dying – he liked to be surprised during his own performances, just as John Cage did. Even when performing another composer's music, he experimented, pushed matters "to the edge," and contributed his sound materials on his own terms. Once after an all–Cage concert at the University of Rochester, he said to me, "I believe that it's my responsibility to add as much dirt as possible to the performance." Perhaps he thought that John Cage's ideas, and Cage's ways of realizing those ideas, were too pure. I miss the inscrutable David Tudor, "warts and all."

Homogenous projective factors for actions of semi-simple Lie groups
- 206 Downloads
- Citations
We analyze the structure of a continuous (or Borel) action of a connected semi-simple Lie group G with finite center and real rank at least 2 on a compact metric (or Borel) space X, using the existence of a stationary measure as the basic tool. The main result has the following corollary: Let P be a minimal parabolic subgroup of G, and K a maximal compact subgroup. Let λ be a P-invariant probability measure on X, and assume the P-action on (X,λ) is mixing. Then either λ is invariant under G, or there exists a proper parabolic subgroup Q⊂G, and a measurable G-equivariant factor map ϕ:(X,ν)→(G/Q,m), where ν=∫ K kλdk and m is the K-invariant measure on G/Q. Furthermore, The extension has relatively G-invariant measure, namely (X,ν) is induced from a (mixing) probability measure preserving action of Q.

Sheffield Council was 'complicit' in allowing sex attacker Roger Dodds to groom teenagers and young men, according to a damning report into his abuse.
Dodds, who was jailed in February after admitting a series of sex attacks on five people dating back to the 1980s, created an environment 'within which he could exploit his position of authority to pursue his sexual satisfaction'.
His actions caused 'enormous distress' to his victims according to the findings of Operation Klosters, a review the council commissioned after police began investigating Dodds in 2008 - and released to The Star yesterday.
Dodds was a sex tourist, 'well known' for his use of sexual language at the education department building in Leopold Street, and was part of a club that shared hardcore pornography on the internal mail system.
The review found the authority was 'complicit in allowing Roger Dodds to operate apparently without sufficient challenge, accountability or consequence'.
"This, in my view, clearly constitutes a failure of duty of care to both staff and young people," wrote the report's author Brian Lawson.
'Difficult reading'
It was in the basement toilets of Sheffield Council's education department that Roger Dodds abused teenagers and young men in the 1980s and 1990s.
His victims raised concerns but Dodds was first moved to another job and then granted early retirement.
The 81-year-old, of Cotswold Road, Hillsborough, is now serving the first of 16 years behind bars after admitting abusing five people, and on Wednesday the council was ordered to pay £91,000 to one of his victims, Richard Rowe, who agreed to waive his anonymity.
Today The Star can reveal for the first time the findings into a review of Dodds actions called Operation Klosters, which began in 2008 in response to a police investigation.
The internally-commissioned but independent review found the council was 'complicit' in Dodds' abuse, failing to challenge him or hold him accountable.
Author Brian Lawson said Dodds was able to exploit his position, first in the education department and later giving grants to college students, to 'pursue his sexual satisfaction', partly through 'substantial unregulated and unsupervised access to schools'.
Dodds was part of a pornography club, using the basement of the Leopold Street office and sharing material on the council's internal mail system.
He was 'careful and thoughtful' about his choice of victim to minmise the risk of being found out, and boasted about his sexual exploits during his 'extensive' travlling abroad.
And his behaviour was tolerated while concerns were not addressed.
In his report, Mr Lawson said: "The actions of Roger Dodds have caused enormous distress to his victims and the city council has been complicit in allowing Roger Dodds to operate apparently without sufficient challenge, accountability or consequence.
"This, in my view, clearlly constitutes a failure of duty of care to both staff and young people."
The council has said it would never defend Dodds' actions. Director of children and families Carly Speechley said the Klosters report made for 'difficult reading'.
"This is because the author, commissioned by us, left no stone unturned in attempting to uncover the reality of the circumstances at the time," she added.
Changes made to prevent Dodds abuse
In the eight years since the publication of the Klosters report, Sheffield Council says it has done all it can to prevent a repeat of the Roger Dodds case.
The report found changes had already been made, from policies to deal with sexual behaviour to a move to open-plan offices and a new whistleblowing scheme.
Seven clear recommendations were also made, all of which have been implemented 'fully'.
Director of children and families Carly Speechley said: "Of particular concern is the possibility identified in the report that Roger Dodds was part of a pornography club which distributed materials through the internal mail.
"This possibility is likely to have been identified as part of interviews with employees at that time.
"Despite extensive searches, we have not found any evidence to corroborate or contradict this possibility. What we can say for sure is that a number of the changes implemented since that time mean that activity of this nature by council employees on council premises would now be impossible.
"If this did happen, then it was appalling and abhorrent. But both the Klosters report, and the recent criminal and civil cases which have looked a wider range of available evidence, have been very clear that the likelihood is that in his abuse, Dodds acted alone.
"Despite the possible existence of a pornography club, there is no evidence that this means there were other abusers.
"To the very best of our knowledge, and taking into account all of the evidence, Roger Dodds acted alone."
'Serious' concerns over lack of records
One of the difficulties in finding out exactly what Sheffield Council had done when allegations of Roger Dodds' abuse came to light in the early 1980s was the almost total lack of records.
Operation Klosters found few documents relating to Dodds' employment history. This was apparently due either to a flood in the Leopold Street office where records were kept, or routine destruction.
Brian Lawson, who was commissioned to investigate Dodds time at the council, said in his report that the lack of information - particularly from 1981 to 1983 - meants it was hard to know whether there were more victims from that period.
Mr Lawson wrote: "The fact that the (police) investigation and this review have had to rely almost entirely on witness statements given the absence of almost any documentation pertaining to Roger Dodds or any formal record of his employment is a matter of serious concern.
"None of the investigators involved feel reassured or confident that documentation has just been 'lost in the flood'.
The council said best practice at the time was to destroy most records after six months - but that a loss on this scale was 'clearly unacceptable'. Following the report an 'extensive' search was conducted and some historic documents were found, which were shared 'in full'.

Oil was at the lowest since October 2007 and copper traded at its weakest since March 2006 after the Dow Jones Industrial Average yesterday dropped below 9,000 for the first time since 2003. OPEC, supplier of about 40 percent of the world's oil, signaled yesterday it may cut output at an emergency meeting on Nov. 18.
Crude oil for November delivery fell as much as $4.49, or 5.2 percent, to $82.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures were at $82.30 at 10:29 a.m. Singapore time. Futures have fallen 44 percent from a record $147.27 a barrel reached on July 11.
Yesterday, oil fell $2.36, or 2.7 percent, to settle at $86.59 a barrel, the lowest settlement since Oct. 23, 2007.
U.S. fuel demand averaged about 18.7 million barrels a day during the past four weeks, the lowest since June 1999, according to an Energy Department report on Oct. 8. The figure is down 8.6 percent from the year-earlier period.
OPEC is ``very likely'' to cut oil production at the Nov. 18 meeting in Vienna because prices have fallen ``dramatically,'' the group's president, Chakib Khelil, said yesterday.
The group, which is responsible for more than 40 percent of global oil output, had been scheduled to meet next on Dec. 17 in Oran, Algeria.
OPEC resolved at its most recent meeting in Vienna last month to stick more closely to official quotas, implying a cut of about 500,000 barrels a day.
Brent crude oil for November settlement declined as much as $3.57, or 4.3 percent, to $79.09 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange, and traded at $79.12 at 10:27 a.m. Singapore time. Yesterday, the contract settled at $82.66, the lowest closing price since Oct. 12, 2007.
Gold jumped to the highest in nearly 11 weeks as investors sought bullion as a haven after Asian stocks tumbled on the heel of plunging U.S. equities amid a deepening credit crisis and worsening global economic outlook.
Bullion for immediate delivery jumped as much as $14.65, or 1.6 percent, to $927.90 an ounce, the highest since July 29. It traded at $915.50 at 9:37 a.m. in Singapore. Silver for immediate delivery rose 0.8 percent at $12.20 an ounce.

Seeking stocks that others ignore, shun, or simply forget gives individual investors like you an edge over the professionals. When Wall Street turns a blind eye, you have a chance to get in before these stocks get discovered -- or rediscovered -- and start taking off.
Below, we'll check out companies with only a handful of analyst coverage, then pair our list with the opinions of the Motley Fool CAPS community. A stock that garners CAPS' top ratings, but hasn't yet caught analysts' attention, could be your next home run investment.

Investors might do well to keep their attention on CEL-SCI's Multikine head and neck cancer treatment, which it's been trying to get into phase 3 trials. CEL-SCI, which has received partial funding from Teva Pharmaceuticals
It's going to self-fund those trials, which means we're likely to see the expenses continue to rise as they did last quarter to sharply narrow its losses. With plenty of funding on hand, however, it shouldn't be a concern.
Capstone Turbine makes small energy plants, powered by multiple sources of fuel, which can be used on individual buildings to provide some or all of their energy needs. It's been touting its backlog of business to show the potential it still has, with the total growing 43% from the year ago period. It enjoyed a 40% increase in the quarter prior to the current one when it looked like it was heating up.
Capstone has received three orders in nine weeks from oil and gas developers, suggesting that backlog should continue to show strength, while it's also moving into the vehicle market and redesigning Parker Hannifin's
I have followed this stock and owned a small position for several years. I don't think the prospects have ever been brighter than they are right now. The current price looks like a bargain. I expect to see an accelaration in the adoption of Capstone products and would recommend taking a small speculative position in this stock to all, including the best of my friends.
A utility player
Delcath Systems has been met with a lot of skepticism for its drug-delivery system for patients with liver cancer. That has prevented some investors from thinking it still has monster potential, but it's going to have to climb a wall of doubt to get beyond those concerns.
It was punished after a presenter at a cancer meeting in June questioned its methodologies, but Delcath has since said it's been able to validate those results, and it continues to pursue federal approvals for its PHP system. It went on to raise about $35 million after offering 5 million shares, which will help it finance the necessary clinical trials a well as run more R&D.
Bristol-Myers Squibb
With the dilutive financing that was just announced, the most likely potential negative to owning Delcath has been erased. I'm still working on erasing my negative experience-75 pts and 4 positive picks to go to put me in the green. It's hard to imagine that Delcath won't rise above 10 again in the run-up to their inevitable submission of the NDA for the PHP.

The American Academy of Pediatrics' Back to Sleep campaign helped decrease the number of infants who died of SIDS, but we want that number to be zero. A new study has revealed that while there are factors that contribute to SIDS risk, others are beyond our control.
It seems that even when we do everything right, there are sometimes biological factors that cause SIDS. Grieving parents often feel it's their fault or something they did, but that is not always the case. In addition to the things we can control, there are simply things we cannot, as we learn from a new study. This research led by Dr. Richard Goldstein, of Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, explains how complicated SIDS is and notes the three major elements that can add to newborn's risk of SIDS.
More From The Stir: 11 Must-Do Tips for Reducing the Risk of SIDS
One element is that some infants have a predisposition to SIDS. This is difficult to hear. There are genetic, developmental, and environmental factors. Premature babies and boys are more susceptible to SIDS. It has been shown that babies who are breast fed tend to be less susceptible. This is hard to hear for moms who cannot breastfeed, but we have to remember that this isn't the only factor. Drinking alcohol and smoking during pregnancy can increase your child's risk of SIDS, so that is something within our control. But some of it, sadly, is not.
The second element is that SIDS generally affects babies younger than six months old, when they are in that very important stage of early development. What are we to do as parents during that critical time period? Is this another added stress, another thing to worry about it? I think once we are parents learn about SIDS, it is a worry always in the back of our minds.
More From The Stir: Most Dangerous Spot for Baby to Sleep Revealed
The third element is where we have made great strides and are able to actively do something to decrease risk -- this is in a baby's sleeping environment. This is why the Back the Sleep campaign has brought the numbers down 38 percent. We must continue putting our babies to sleep on their backs and keep stuffed animals, soft toys, crib bumpers, pillows, and blankets out of the crib, and putting our babies to sleep in sleep clothing like wearable blankets.
But experts caution that even with all that we can control, it's not enough to eliminate the risk completely. I appreciate this study -- we have to continue to examine this and continue to make sure all parents know all the risks and what can decrease a baby's chances of SIDS, but the fact remains that sometimes we can do everything right and it can still happen. There are unknowns.
What we want are more studies so more light will shine on the topic. We want to know if anything more can be done so no family will ever have to have a child die of SIDS. Thankfully that research continues to be done, and we can continue to educate ourselves and hope there are more breakthroughs.
