- "He…was left in squalor and poverty, with a very nasty temper, a fantastic amount of arrogance and pride, and a couple of family heirlooms that he treasured just as much as his son, and rather more than his daughter."
- —Albus Dumbledore regarding Marvolo Gaunt[src]
Marvolo Gaunt (fl. 1925) was a pure-blood wizard of the House of Gaunt and descendant of Salazar Slytherin. He was the maternal grandfather of Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort, through his daughter Merope. Violent and bigoted, Marvolo died soon after being released from Azkaban, where he was briefly imprisoned for assaulting Ministry personnel.[1] He was also the owner of a large golden ring and Salazar Slytherin's Locket, both of which he prized as heirlooms of his pure-blood heritage.
Early life
- "Salazar Slytherin's! We're his last living descendants, what do you say to that, eh? Don't you go talking to us as if we're dirt on your shoes! Generations of pure-bloods, wizards all — more than you can say, I don't doubt!"
- —Marvolo to Bob Ogden, regarding his ancestry [src]
Marvolo was born into the pure-blood House of Gaunt; his son Morfin, and his daughter Merope Gaunt were the last descendants of Salazar Slytherin. Centuries of inbreeding caused poverty and a vein of instability and violence to flourish in the family. "This lack of sense coupled with a great liking for grandeur meant that the family gold was squandered several generations before Marvolo was born." As such, he and his children lived in poverty in a ruined cottage near Little Hangleton. There is no mention of Marvolo's wife, although it is likely that she was a cousin due to their family's inbreeding practice, and may have divorced him due to his violent behavior, but more likely may have passed away sometime after bearing her two children and before his encounter with the law. Marvolo Gaunt's parents were neither mentioned in the books, although is appropriate to believe they were married cousins, and that Marvolo's father was the patriarch who eventually succeeded Corvinius Gaunt. Marvolo's parents likely educated their son about the family tree and his famous ancestor, as well as indoctrinating him on the superiority of the wizard race.
Marvolo usually spent his time brandishing family heirlooms, including: A locket, a ring which he praised as much as anything, even his children. Marvolo had a loyal relationship with Morfin since they both shared some similarities, including belief in blood purity, being violent and being abusive towards Merope. Unlike his relationship with Morfin, Marvolo hated his daughter, whom he called a Squib as a slur since she could not perform magic correctly. In all probability this was due to the abuse she received from her father and brother; Marvolo frequently abused her while Morfin watched and laughed.
- Marvolo: "Should've made your presence known, shouldn't you? This is private property. Can't just walk in here and not expect my son to defend himself?"
- Bob Ogden: "Defend himself against what, man?"
- Marvolo: "Busybodies. Intruders. Muggles and filth."
- — Marvolo Gaunt showing his prejudiced, bigoted nature in a conversation with Bob Ogden[src]
Morfin, being mentally deranged and having little regard for secrecy, frequently used magic in front of, and upon, Muggles, with his father approving of his actions. This inevitably brought him into conflict with the Ministry of Magic. When the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, Bob Ogden, visited the Gaunts to address the issue, they resisted violently. Marvolo justifyed Morfin's actions and resisted Ogden's calm attempts at discussion. Just as Ogden rose to leave, Morfin ruthlessly revealed that Merope had a romantic admiration for the Muggle he had attacked: Tom Riddle Sr. Marvolo became absolutely infuriated (seeing as they were purebloods and only associated with their kind) and attacked his "filthy little blood traitor" daughter, though Ogden stopped him from strangling her by using a Revulsion Jinx.[1]
Morfin then defended his father from further attacks by firing a storm of jinxes towards Ogden. Ogden Apparated back to the Ministry and returned with reinforcements within fifteen minutes. Marvolo and Morfin attempted to fight, though were both overpowered and removed from the cottage. Both men were brought before the Wizengamot and sent to Azkaban, with Morfin receiving a three-year sentence, and Marvolo, because he injured several Ministry personnel, received six months.[1]
- Morfin Gaunt: "She likes looking at that Muggle. Always in the garden when he passes, peering through the hedge at him, isn't she? And last night —"
- Marvolo Gaunt: "Is it true? My daughter — pure-blooded descendant of Salazar Slytherin — hankering after a filthy, dirt-veined Muggle?"
- — The Gaunts discussing Merope's infatuation with Tom Riddle Sr.[src]
Merope, once Marvolo and Morfin were safely in prison, found herself alone and free for the first time in her life, and her magical abilities, which were suppressed by years of torment from her father and brother, flourished. She took the opportunity to escape from the desperate life she had led. Using a Love Potion Merope seduced and married Tom Riddle Sr..
It is unknown how Marvolo Gaunt fared in Azkaban, although his natural stupidity was likely problematic for the Dementors to keep him in line. It is assumed, however, that imprisonment weakened him emotionally and took his arrogance down a couple of notches. Following his six month term, Marvolo Gaunt was released. Upon being a free man again, Marvolo returned to the cottage, arrogantly and foolishly expecting Merope to have dutifully awaited his return and be waiting with a hot meal ready on his table. Instead, he found the shack empty and abandoned, a clear inch of dust covering the inside. He also found Merope's note of farewell explaining what she had done.
Marvolo's shock was so great that he never mentioned her name or existence from that time forth. The shock of Merope's desertion was so great that it led to his early death. Other factors included him being greatly weakened by his time in prison, and he possibly never learned to feed himself. Marvolo did not live to be reunited with his son, and by the time Morfin was a free man again he came home to an empty shack, learning of what his sister had done and that his father was now dead. [1]
Marvolo Gaunt also died before he had a chance to experience being a grandfather, although it is highly unlikely he would have been overjoyed by having half-blood grandchildren. It is unknown how he would have felt about his son's bachelorhood and failure to continue the bloodline, although he may have realised that being the last remaining members of the House of Gaunt there were no female cousins to marry Morfin off with, and the chances of a pure-blood lady swooning over his son were slim, to say the least. It is also unknown if he had ever established connections with other patriarchs of pure-blood families in an attempt to marry Merope off to one of their sons. Ironically, Marvolo's only grandson had continued his work of purging the Wizarding World in a way that Marvolo had only talked of.
Marvolo's prized signet ring was passed onto Morfin. Marvolo's name was used for his grandson's middle name — Tom Marvolo Riddle — who was born through Merope and Riddle Sr.. Tom Riddle would become better known as Lord Voldemort, the most dangerous Dark Wizard in history. Sixteen years later, Tom would seek out the shack for Marvolo to confirm his pure-blood heritage, only to find out the patriarch of the Gaunt family has passed away. Riddle ended up stealing Marvolo's ring from Morfin and turning it into a Horcrux.
Physical appearance
- "An elderly man had come hurrying out of the cottage, banging the door behind him so that the dead snake swung pathetically. This man was shorter than the first, and oddly proportioned; his shoulders were very broad and his arms overlong, which, with bright brown eyes, short scrubby hair, and wrinkled face, gave him the look of a powerful, aged monkey"
- —Harry Potter's impression of Marvolo Gaunt when he sees him in the Pensieve[src]
Marvolo is described as being shorter than his son, though oddly proportioned; his shoulders were very broad and his arms rather long for his body type. This, along with his bright brown eyes, short scrubby hair, and wrinkled face, made him look like a powerful, aged monkey like his ancestor, Salazar Slytherin.[1]
Personality and traits
- "Marvolo Gaunt was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry...as far as he was concerned, having pure blood made you practically royal."
- —Harry Potter's opinion of Marvolo[src]
A violent, arrogant man, due to both genetics and his Gaunt upbringing, Marvolo placed the utmost importance on his heritage, leading him to be derisive of his daughter's seeming lack of magical ability and furious with her infatuation with a Muggle. He was cruel and bigoted, calling Bob Ogden a Mudblood, without actually knowing his blood status, and completely indifferent to the Ministry's authority. His violence has led him to the point of being murderously unloving towards his daughter, though he respected his son enough to have a fair conversation with him. His hate for his daughter rendered him to treat her nothing short of a slave, and refused to acknowledge her existence ever again when she betrayed their clan, which may be one of the contributions that led to Marvolo's death. Another possibility is Marvolo simply never learning to feed himself, making him completely reliant on Merope to survive, despite his hatred towards her. According to Dumbledore, Marvolo cherished his family heirlooms as much as his son, and more than his daughter.[1]
Magical abilities and skills
- Parselmouth: Like his ancestor, son, daughter and grandson, Marvolo had the ability to speak to snakes from their ancestor and even communicated with his children that way.
- Martial Magic: It is said that he injured some of the Ministry wizards that Bob Ogden brought back with him leading to his arrest.
Marvolo's relationship with his children was terrible. He seemed to tolerate and maintain a tenuous relationship with his son Morfin, who was furiously loyal to Marvolo and his family's ideals, while just as unstable and violent. On the other hand, Marvolo seemed to have no care whatsoever for his daughter Merope, whom he derided as being a Squib and expected to do all the cooking and cleaning. He and Morfin were both emotionally and physically abusive towards Merope, to the point of actually attempting to murder her in front of a Ministry official. Marvolo also conversed with his children in Parseltongue.[1]
Marvolo never saw Merope again after he was imprisoned since she abandoned the shack for good, which led to her father to never speak of her existence again either. Despite genuinely hating Merope to the point of attempting to execute her for her crimes against the family's belief, Albus Dumbledore speculated that her abandonment was what contributed to Marvolo's early death, either due to the shock or that he never learned how to feed himself (as he had foolishly believed that Merope would be dutifully wait for his return from prison with a hot meal on the table). This shows that he is at least dependent on her for survival. Marvolo never saw Morfin again either after being released from Azkaban since Marvolo died before his son's sentence was complete; his family signet ring, the last heirloom, was left for Morfin to wear.
Tom Riddle Sr.
It is unknown if Marvolo and Tom Riddle Sr. had met in person, but it is known that Marvolo despised him very much. When Morfin revealed that Merope was in love with him, Marvolo became furious and angry since he was a pure-blood supremacist and didn't want any non-pure bloods into his family lineage. Marvolo presumably considered him more disgusting when he found out that Merope had run off witth him after being released from his 6-month sentence in Azkaban. Riddle Sr. also seemed to be one of the causes of Marvolo's death, because since Merope left the house, Marvolo was unable to take care of himself or because of his shock of a pure-blood/Muggle romance and he died.
Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort)
- Tom Riddle: "Where is Marvolo?"
- Morfin Gaunt: "Dead. Died years ago, didn't he?"
- — Morfin informs the young Tom Riddle that Marvolo is dead[src]
Marvolo had never met his grandson, Tom Riddle since he had died by the time Voldemort was born. But in the summer of 1943, when Voldemort set off to find his Gaunt relatives, using his middle name to connect to the family, and he expected to find Marvolo but instead found only Morfin. The deteriorating condition of the household had deeply disappointed the young Tom.
After killing his father, the younger Tom stole his grandfather's ring and took to wearing it. He later turned it into a Horcrux.
- The name Marvolo may be derived from Malvolio, which loosely translates into "ill will" in Latin. It is also the name of a character from William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Malvolio is a Puritan who despises all kinds of fun and games, perhaps alluding to Marvolo's extreme prejudice and cruelty.
- The word gaunt is defined as "haggard, drawn and emaciated" and "bleak, desolate".[2]
Behind the scenes
- The name "Marvolo" changes in some translations so that the "TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE" anagram can translate.
- The flashback of Marvolo Gaunt that Dumbledore shows Harry does not appear in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, likely for timing restrictions. However, it was included in the original draft of the script.
- In the sixth film, Marvolo's ring is said by Albus Dumbledore to have belonged to his daughter, but in a deleted scene of the next movie, the ring is said by Harry to have belonged to Marvolo and the locket to Merope.

Ten years ago today we were sitting at the breakfast table getting ready to match wits with a class at the U of A. The entire family was watching BBC News when they announced that a plane had accidentally crashed into the World Trade Center. As they cut to live footage and commentary, it was a matter of minutes until we saw the second plane crash into the second tower live.

CA Prospect Profiles: Chris Tanev
Thomas Drance
September 09 2011 02:45PM
Last season, undrafted rookie Chris Tanev came out of nowhere, solidified himself as a stand-out on the blueline for the Manitoba Moose and ended up playing 34 games with the Canucks. He even appeared, and played quite well in the last two games of the Western Conference Final, and the final three games of the Stanley Cup Final. He played some quality hockey for the Canucks, and there are high hopes for his development among close observers of the team. PassittoBulis picked him as one of their three potential "break-out" players for this upcoming season, and I projected him as a possible contender to play a top-4 role.

CA Prospect Profile: Cody Hodgson
Thomas Drance
September 09 2011 12:57PM
To call Cody Hodgson a polarizing figure in the Vancouver sports landscape is probably an understatement. The highly regarded prospect has had a tumultuous start to his career, and has been criticized an absurd amount for a player with 20 total NHL games of experience. I've written about him at length previously, and tend to be pretty bullish on his skill-set and sensitive to the fact that I'd be frustrated as hell too if I was injured, had that injury misdiagnosed and was then criticized by my head coach in the press. But other smart people, whose opinions I very much respect - like Dobberhockey's Jeff Angus, or fellow CanucksArmy editor Cam Davie - have seen Hodgson in the past as bratty, churlish and "entitled."

Floats Like A Vulture
In his essay on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Stuart Mill wrote:
A Tory philosopher cannot be wholly a Tory, but must often be a better Liberal than Liberals themselves; while he is the natural means of rescuing from oblivion truths which Tories have forgotten and which the prevailing schools of Liberalism never knew…. "Lord, enlighten thou our enemies," should be the prayer of every true Reformer; sharpen their wits, give acuteness to their perceptions, and consecutiveness and clearness to their reasoning powers. We are in danger from their folly, not from their wisdom; their weakness is what fills us with apprehension, not their strength.
When I first encountered this passage, I agreed wholeheartedly with Mill (though his terminology needs a bit of updating: for "Tories," read conservatives; for "Reformers," liberals; for "philosophers," public intellectuals). These days, I'm not so sure. Conservatism was different in Mill's time. What he rejoiced at in Coleridge's example was the prospect of deliverance from "the owl-like dread of light, the drudge-like aversion to change, which were the characteristics of the old unreasoning race of bigots"—Sir Leicester Dedlock, for example, or the Duke of Wellington. A conservative intellectual was virtually an oxymoron before the Industrial Revolution; too much cleverness made a man "unsound."
Nowadays conservative intellectuals are legion, and some of them are very clever. But they have not become enlightened or enlightening, as Mill hoped. Instead of rescuing forgotten truths, they devise novel fallacies like the efficient markets hypothesis or "Islam's bloody borderlands." No longer automatically subversive of authority, the conservative intellectual has become authority's chief of staff.
Feudalism shunned intelligence; capitalism profits from it—partly by controlling the institutions that manufacture public opinion (advertising, media, publishing, education, research), and partly by cultivating talented individuals with suitable values and views. According to the pioneering political scientist Harold Lasswell, the advent of modern society "compelled the development of a whole new technique of control, largely through propaganda…. the one means of mass mobilization which is cheaper than violence, bribery or other possible control techniques." Irving Kristol, propagandist par excellence, foresaw that "intellectuals would move inexorably closer to the seats of authority" and devoted his long career to furthering that rapprochement, recruiting lavish support from an anxious business class for the right kind of intellectuals. The contemporary neoconservative intelligentsia, including Charles Krauthammer, is the result.
Krauthammer, an internationally syndicated Washington Post columnist, Time essayist, and frequent guest on Fox and other networks, is quite possibly the most respected neoconservative public intellectual. On the occasion of Krauthammer's first collection, Cutting Edges (1985), Michael Walzer praised the author as "intellectually tough and morally serious" (exactly the qualities whose absence on the left Walzer complained of in his widely discussed essay "Can There Be a Decent Left?"). In 1987, Krauthammer was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his "witty and insightful columns on national issues." And according to Henry Kissinger, Krauthammer's latest collection, Things That Matter—with its "learned examinations of history and policy"—demonstrates its author's "sharply honed analysis, humane values and questing mind."
High praise, though it withers a little under the heat of this blast from the as-yet-unreconstructed Christopher Hitchens:
In the charmed circle of neoliberal and neoconservative journalism, "unpredictability" is the special emblem and certificate of self-congratulation. To be able to bray that "as a liberal, I say bomb the shit out of them" is to have achieved that eye-catching, versatile marketability that is so beloved of editors and talk-show hosts. As a lifelong socialist I say don't let's bomb the shit out of them. See what I mean? It lacks the sex appeal somehow. Predictable as hell.
Picture, then, if you will, the unusual difficulties faced by Charles Krauthammer, newest of the neocon mini-windbags. He has the arduous job, in an arduous time, of being an unpredictable conformist. He has the no less demanding task of making this pose appear original and, more, of making it appear courageous. At a time when the polity (as he might well choose to call it) is showing signs of Will-fatigue, it can't be easy to write an attack on the United Nations or Albania or Qaddafi and make it seem like a lone, fearless affirmation. An average week of reading The Washington Post Op-Ed page already exposes me to appearances from George Will, William F. Buckley Jr., Jeane Kirkpatrick, Norman Podhoretz, Emmett Tyrrell, Joe Kraft, Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, and Stephen Rosenfeld. Clearly its editors felt that a radical new voice was needed when they turned to the blazing, impatient talents on offer in The New Republic—and selected Krauthammer. I dare say Time felt the same way when it followed suit. We live in a period when a chat show that includes Morton Kondracke considers that it has filled the liberal slot.
Krauthammer can dish it out, too: he is a savage scoffer and a merciless mocker (though hardly in a league with Hitchens). He is a commercial as well as a political success: Things That Matter topped the New York Times bestseller list last fall for ten weeks. Facility in framing the conventional wisdom, however vacuous, with perfect assurance—indeed, with an edge of impatience in one's voice that such truisms need to be explained at all—is a singular gift, and probably the supreme qualification for an op-ed columnist or talk-show guest. But Krauthammer has paid the unavoidable price for composing too many 1,000-word essays for Time, 800-word columns for The Washington Post and 20-second sound bites for Fox News. There is very little intellectual tension, dialectical drama or sense of discovery in his arguments, and very little rhythm, color or finesse to his prose. He floats like a vulture, stings like a jellyfish.

John M. "Jack" Hisky, R.Ph. of Memphis, TN passed away peacefully at home on February 11 following a long illness. He was 86. Jack was born in Memphis, Tennessee on May 8, 1926, to James Lawrence and Mildred (Harwell) Hisky, and was the youngest of four children. Jack earned his degree as a Registered Pharmacist at UT School of Pharmacy in Memphis in 1951. During that same year, he married Harriet Jean Duke, from Jonesboro, AR, who graduated from Baptist Nursing School as a registered nurse. Jack began his pharmacy career at The Prescription Shop in the Bellevue/ Lamar area working for James Peter "Pete" Sartain. In 1952, he was commissioned for six months to set up the pharmacy department for the new Crittendon Hospital in West Memphis, after which he returned to the Lamar pharmacy. After taking ownership of The Prescription Shop in 1965, Jack relocated the business to the Longview Heights area in South Memphis due to displacement by the interstate. He worked at this location until his retirement in March 2007. Jack was a member of the Memphis Pharmacy Association, Tennessee Pharmacy Association, Knights of Columbus, National Rifle Association, a Lifetime Sponsor of Ducks Unlimited, and a long-time parishioner at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in East Memphis where he volunteered as a greeter. Jack and his wife Jean had been members of Holy Rosary Parish since its inception more than 50 years ago. Jack was an avid fisherman, hunter, and handyman around the house. He will be remembered by his friends and customers as a kind, outgoing man who never met a stranger and made everyone feel welcome in his home or in his store. He will be remembered by his family as an incredible father with a loving heart, a generous spirit, and strong character, as a grandfather and "best friend" who had a witty sense of humor, who tremendously enjoyed family activities and get-togethers, and who loved involving his children and grandchildren with him in his outdoor sporting activities. He was an inspiring role model to his family, and instilled in them by his own example an honorable work ethic and many other positive values. He was truly loved, deeply admired, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Jack is survived by his wife, Harriett "Jean" (Duke) Hisky; his sister, Shirley (Hisky) Lete of Bartlett, TN; his seven children, Linda Marie Hisky Landon (Leon) of Bartlett, TN, Cheryl Jean Hisky Smith (Don) of Senatobia, MS, James Lawrence "Larry" Hisky (Alyson) of Lees Summit, MO, Teresa Anne Hisky Bargiacchi (Fred) of Memphis, John "Michael" Hisky (Kathy) of Memphis, Patricia Lynne "Trisha" Hisky Meyer (Chris) of Lakeland, TN, and David Duke Hisky (Claudia) of Austin, TX.

Mary Frances Walker Montgomery, formerly of Memphis, died February 8, 2013 after a very brief illness. On March 1, 2013, she would have been 92 years old. A resident of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Mary had spent eleven years self-described as "I've retired." Her husband, Robert Moss Montgomery and her son, John W. Montgomery predeceased her. She had a wonderful life, enjoying the company of her sons, Robert W. Montgomery (Becka) of Tuscaloosa and James A. Montgomery (Beverly) and her daughter-in-law, Suzanne V. Montgomery of Memphis. Mary also brought laughter and joy to her grandchildren Joel Montgomery (Elaine), Mary Evelyn Montgomery O'Neil (JT), Martin Montgomery, Robert Montgomery and Michael Montgomery. Mary was born in Anniston, Alabama to Dr. Carlos and Irene Walker, the second of four children. She attended high school in Anniston and then graduated from Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama where she majored in biology. After college, Mary worked at the Anniston Army Depot and was one of the few women to receive top secret clearance related to shipment of supplies for the invasion at D-Day. She met Bob when he was stationed at Ft. McClellan in Anniston, and they married on New Year's Day, 1946, after he returned from the European theater. Mary and Bob made their home in Memphis and when Second Presbyterian Church moved east, they were some of the earliest members, where Mary remained active until her "retirement" to Tuscaloosa. She and Bob helped found the Chapel Class and also taught the college class. Mary was a Bible moderator for her circle and one of the first elected female deacons in the history of Second Presbyterian Church. A self-taught theologian, Mary loved God and God's Word. She was active in Les Passees. She was on the board for PDS and served on an advisory board to the President of Rhodes College. Mary was always up for adventure and loved traveling with her family. At 88 years of age and casually commenting that she had always wanted to see Istanbul, Turkey, Mary soon found herself on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise. Two years later, she voyaged the inland passage of Alaska and just last summer took a road trip to Maine. She was renowned for her jokes and believed in the "smile game", always eager to bring the joy of Christ to friends, family, and strangers. She said, "This is my Christian witness." A graveside service for family and friends will be held at Memphis Memorial Park at 12:30 p.m. followed by a Celebration of the Resurrection at 2 p.m. at Second Presbyterian Church chapel. Flowers are welcomed or memorials may be sent to the organ fund at First Presbyterian Church, 900 Greensboro Ave in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 35401.

This experience was something very few people get to enjoy. In 1995, Margie and JB moved to Fernandina Beach to continue their retirement. The very moment she arrived, Margie began making friends. Fernandina Beach became her new home where she developed a very active social life, dancing and entertaining. While living in Fernandina, Margie was very active in YMCA, the Newcomers of Fernandina Beach, the TERPS dance club, and the Ann Dickens Circle of the Memorial United Methodist Church. She also enjoyed playing card games, Mahjong, being with her friends, and spending time with her cherished family. A wonderful memory for Margie was her 80th birthday when her children threw a big surprise party for her. She never met a stranger. Her love for life and people was remarkable. She never lost her unbelievable spirit of love. She was a member of Andrews Memorial Methodist Church in Memphis, TN, and the Memorial United Methodist Church in Fernandina Beach, FL. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, JB Cody, in July of 2007. She leaves behind her daughters, Debra Kay Norton (Tom) and Jan Hughes (Charles) all of Fernandina Beach. Her sons, Stephen Cody (Ann) of Southaven, MS, and Dr. James H. Cody (Dixie) of Franklinton, LA. Her grandchildren, James Anderson, Angela Elaine Cody, Amanda Renee' Parson, William Cody Norton, and Jamie Lynn Matise; her great-grandchildren, Stephen Alexander Cody, Lauren Anderson, Kaitlyn Miller, Allisa Anderson, Emma Matise and Hannah Matise. Mrs. Cody will be laid to rest along with her husband at 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 16 in Forrest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, TN. The family requests that donations or rememberances be made in Marjorie's name to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, 4266 Sunbeam Road, Jacksonville, FL 32257 or to Memorial United Methodist Church, 601 Centre St., Fernandina Beach, FL 32034.

Who's Playing Word Games?
12:35 PM, Mar 24, 2008 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
John Hinderaker at Power Line writes, "…our principal news media outlets have fabricated an alternative reality around the Iraq war by simply misreporting the facts." That's true, especially with regards to Saddam's terror ties. And, as Power Line has noted on a number of occasions, the media has gotten a lot of help from partisan members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (both current and former).
Take, for example, this recent column by Michael Isikoff of Newsweek concerning the Iraqi Perspectives Project's recently released study of Saddam's intelligence files. You would never know from Isikoff's piece that the report contains documents linking Saddam's regime to six terrorist groups that are all part of Osama bin Laden's terrorist empire, including two groups that form the core of al Qaeda. Nor, would you know that Saddam's regime cooperated with these groups at various times. Instead, all you'll find is spin.
The spin is provided by Paul Pillar, a former high-ranking analyst at the CIA who has made his anti-Bush, anti-Iraq war inclinations known. Pillar has spun tale after tale about Saddam's regime and al Qaeda. He is heavily invested in the notion that Saddam's "secular" regime did not work with the Islamists of al Qaeda. Pillar is, quite clearly, a man with an agenda. Here are the most relevant lines from Isikoff's piece:
This is nonsense. Pillar is pretending that because Zawahiri's Egyptian Islamic Jihad (the "EIJ") had not formally merged with bin Laden until 1998 or 2001 (depending on who you talk to) that a connection between Saddam and the EIJ doesn't represent a link to al Qaeda. On the contrary, as I pointed out in a recent post over at Power Line, Zawahiri and the EIJ began to work closely with bin Laden in the mid-1980's--long before their formal merger. Numerous sources, including Zawahiri's lawyer in Egypt, Montasser al-Zayyat, have reported on the long-standing relationship. Lawrence Wright has also provided numerous details in his reporting for the New Yorker and in his book The Looming Tower.
A clear pattern emerges from the available evidence: Zawahiri and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad were major influences on Osama bin Laden early on, long before their formal merger. There were, of course, tactical differences from time to time, but this never stopped the two groups from working hand-in-glove. In fact, as Wright, al-Zayyat, and other sources have reported, it was Zawahiri and his EIJ lieutenants who steered bin Laden towards the absolute jihadist approach that defines al Qaeda. They were, in fact, always as much a part of al Qaeda as bin Laden himself. It is highly significant, therefore, that the IIS document Pillar and Isikoff refer to says that the IIS and the EIJ had an agreement in place to collude against Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt. (Subsequent documents show that Saddam wanted the EIJ to focus on hunting Americans in Somalia. I'll have more on this in the near future.)
The evidence is rather unambiguous in this regard. So, we are left with two options: (1) Pillar doesn't know this, or (2) He is spinning this story to serve his own agenda. Either way, Isikoff's blind reliance on Pillar to dismiss this important connection between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda does not inspire confidence. Of course, as Robert Novak has reported, Isikoff has relied heavily on Pillar in the past.
That is, Saddam agreed "to make use of" the so-called Arab Afghans, who made up almost the entirety of al Qaeda's first generation of terrorists (including EIJ members).
A good analyst would want to know what came of this agreement and carefully piece together what is known and unknown in subsequent years. After all, the trail of evidence does not end there.
Paul Pillar is too busy playing word games.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Timothy Bradley no longer cares whether anyone thinks he won his fight with Manny Pacquiao last year.
Bradley thinks he beat Pacquiao in one of the biggest upsets in recent boxing history, even if he gained almost nothing from it. He couldn't land a rematch with Pacquiao, and he's still struggling to entice the world's best welterweights to face him.
Nine months after that shocker in the Vegas ring, Bradley (29-0, 12 KOs) returns under the softer lights of Carson, Calif., against unheralded Ruslan Provodnikov.

Study underscores need for expectant moms to get flu shot, expert says
MONDAY, May 24 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women who get the H1N1 pandemic strain of flu are at high risk of experiencing serious complications for themselves and their unborn child, a new study finds.
According to the report, there has not been much data about the effect of the novel H1N1 flu on pregnant women and their fetuses, and what data exists is conflicting. In other pandemic flus -- in 1918 and 1957 -- pregnant women were at a high risk of being hospitalized and dying, the researchers noted.
"In keeping with prior pandemics, pregnant women don't do well with pandemic flu, because they have a compromised immune response," said influenza expert Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at New York University in New York City.
In addition, they don't do as well because they lack immunity to these new flu strains. "So, if you put together that they don't have the immune response that you would like, plus they don't have previous immunity, it's a bad combination," he said.
The report is published in the May 24 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
For the study, a team led by Dr. Andrew C. Miller, of the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center and Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn, looked at data on 18 pregnant women with H1N1 flu admitted to hospitals between May 18, 2009, and June 24, 2009.
These women were compared with pregnant women who had the 1918 and 1957 pandemic flu strains.
All the women in the current study were started on the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu) when they were admitted to the hospital, the researchers noted.
Among these women, three were admitted to intensive care. In addition, seven women gave birth while they were in the hospital -- six prematurely.
Of the six premature births, five newborns had fetal dist

A standard expected cost-benefit approach would consider the net benefits of different program outcomes in different states of the world, and take an expectation over all outcomes and possible states of the world.
Our proposed methodology disaggregates the expected benefits of a program into different components: probable benefits in different states of the world (the scenarios); different types of benefits; different types of risks. The disaggregation serves several purposes. First, we hope that the disaggregation aids in assessing the program components by providing a reasonably detailed list of the factors that enter an overall cost-benefit analysis. Second, some of the components are easier to measure (e.g., economic benefits) than others (security benefits). The disaggregation allows precise measures where warranted and avoids oversimplifications in the latter case. Similarly, greater consensus exists about the magnitudes of some risks (e.g., for program success) than others (potential states of the world). We hope to clarify debate over the value of programs by allowing common estimates where appropriate and isolating the less easily measured, or more controversial components of the calculations. Finally, a standard expected cost/benefit analysis equates a high-risk/high-benefit program with a low-risk/low-benefit program (even if the former should be further saddled with a risk-discount). The disaggregated approach clarifies whether a program is particularly risky or a relatively sure thing, and thus aids in assessing whether the DOE's overall portfolio has a mix that is appropriate for a public applied energy R&D program.
Risks associated with the programs fall into two broad categories: the Probability of Meeting Program Goals and the Probability of Market Success.

After recently turning 70, perhaps Jerry Jones was sick of being the oldest guy at Valley Ranch. Enter the soon-to-be 73-year-old Monte Kiffin, who will replace Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator. It's the sort of move that would bother Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, who apparently didn't retain 66-year-old defensive coordinator Bill Young because his advanced age was scaring off recruits. I'm not going to do cartwheels over the Kiffin move, but it's hard to argue with his NFL credentials. He and 75-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau have been the gold standard on that side of the ball for the past two decades. In fact, Kiffin is widely credited with the famed "Tampa 2" scheme that has been adopted by so many teams over the years. The knock on Kiffin has nothing to do with his age. It's the fact that he took a 4-year sabbatical from the NFL to work with his slimy son Lane, and absolutely tanked. I'm not going to pretend to be familiar with the personnel th...

Think Patriots football and you immediately think of success.The modern era Patriots have the most successful winning head coach & quarterback combo in history, something that has led to many winning seasons over the last decade or so, and of course Super Bowls.Granted, once there, they haven't always won.In fact having steamrollered their way into the big game, when they get there they aren't the same free-flowing, easy-scoring selves that helped them reach their goal.This season they have once again set the scoreboard alight. No one came close to their league-high 557 points in the regular season, and they continued this in last week's playoff beating of the Houston Texans, putting up another 41 with relative ease.I have raised the question before of who could stop them reaching the Super Bowl, and now only one team remains.The Baltimore Ravens.Looking ahead then I will explain the five reasons why the Patriots will lose this Sunday's AFC title game.

A fire at an eastern Montana oil recycling facility that injured three workers is being allowed to burn because of the danger of more explosions.
3 injured in oil facility fire in Montana
Wibaux County Disaster and Emergency Services spokesman Mike Schneider said Sunday he and fire crews have been watching the fire from about a quarter mile away. The facility near the town of Wibaux close to the Montana-North Dakota state line is at the edge of the Bakken crude patch.
"We're not equipped to deal with it," Schneider said. "Prudence would just say stay away with so much stuff around. It's not worth sending someone in."
He said the fire started Saturday afternoon at a Custom Carbon Processing facility and is limited to the trailer of a tanker truck and a large, three-sided structure that has been destroyed. He said the facility has eight large storage tanks that appear to be OK. He also said the tanker truck itself does not appear to be burning but is apparently still running and pumping material from the trailer. Estimates of damage were not available.
Flames are coming from the top of the trailer and the trailer tank is still intact, though the tires have burned away. The trailer on Sunday afternoon appeared to be half full judging by what Schneider called a frost line on the trailer's side. He said it was unclear how long the fire could burn.
"All the experts around here say the safest thing to do is let this back pup trailer tank burn off," Schneider said. "We could go in and smother it, possibly, but then you would be spreading everything else around."
He said he didn't know the extent of the injuries sustained by the workers, but that at least two of them were taken to a hospital in Dickinson, N.D. A spokeswoman at St. Joseph's Hospital in Dickinson declined to release any information.

Mark Slough, Jay Ratliff's agent:
"First, let me say thank you to the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones for taking a chance on me in 2005. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Cowboys, and it was always my desire to begin and end my career here in Dallas. But I understand this business, and now it's time to move on, turn the page and begin again. To all my teammates, I want to wish them nothing but the best. Stay strong, keep fighting and always believe. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, but I will always support you and value our time together. And lastly, to all the Cowboy fans, I want to say it was an honor to play for you. Cowboy fans are the best fans in the NFL, and I thank each and every one of you for the support and love you have shown to me these past nine years. I will miss you."
