>>> back to "hardball." now to the "sideshow." move over michele bachmann . remember her witch hunt against hillary clinton 's close aide? bachmann back then accused her of helping members of the muslim brotherhood infiltrate the u.s. government . enter former fbi agent turned anti- islam activists john gordolo. his reason for why john brennan should not be cia director , of course, he's a secret muslim.

>> he has interwoven his life, profaftionally and personally, with individuals that we know are terrorists and he has given them access to not only senior leaders inside the government, but has given them access to the national security council , the national security staff. he has brought known hamas and muslim brotherhood operatives into those positions of government. plt brennan did convert to islam when he served in an official capacity on behalf of the united states in saudi arabia . his conversion to islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him, to recruit him.

>> there you have it. john brennan secretly converted to islam while on the job in saudi arabia . he's been helping terrorists, of course, that guy says, get federal jobs ever since. wow. what's wrong with this picture? here is a snapshot of the mississippi supreme court on friday. yes, you are looking at the confederate flag right there. so what was that civil war flashback doing atop mississippi's supreme court ? here is the story. it's normally a state flag which bears some resem blns. it was time to break out a fresh one. the new shament came in a box labeled mississippi state flag and workers didn't realize it contained confederate flags inste instead. it took about two hours for someone, anyone, to notice and have it removed. a professor at southern university -- university of southern mississippi scored a punch line. have we is he seeded already? the execution is faster than i thought.

>> god. those comments predictably drew the attention of the secret service , thank god, but steve stockman , a member of congress, went ahead and invited nugent to the state of the union address .

>>> up next, how did the republican party become the party of conservative white people ? well, that's ahead. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. ike

Veteran BBC space journalist dies

12 February 2013 Last updated at 09:27 ET

Reg Turnill spoke to the BBC in 2010 about the Apollo 13 accident

Reg Turnill, the BBC's aerospace correspondent from the beginning of the space age through to the shuttle era, has died aged 97.

After being sent to Moscow to cover the first manned space launch, he regularly reported from Cape Canaveral and Houston on the Apollo Moon missions.

In 1970, he broke the story to the world that Apollo 13 was in trouble.

Mr Turnill's eldest son confirmed the news of his father's death to BBC Radio Kent.

Michael Turnill, 72, said his father was "always very committed to what he was doing" and was still writing stories just eight weeks ago. He added that his mind was still "remarkable" at the age of 97.

Mr Turnill's career began with the Press Association in Fleet Street when he was 15. He stayed with the news agency as a staff reporter until recruited by the BBC in 1956 as assistant industrial correspondent.

In 1958, he was made the BBC's air and space correspondent, with a brief to cover defence.

He interviewed all of the Apollo astronauts and was friends with Wernher von Braun, the architect of Nasa's moon programme.

He wrote a tribute to the late Neil Armstrong in the October 2012 edition of Astronomy Now magazine and also contributed to the BBC's coverage of the astronaut's death.

In his later years, he lived in Sandgate, Kent, with his wife Margaret.

Mr Turnill passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning at the Pilgrim's Hospice in Ashford, where he had been for the past month.

Mapping out art on campus: "Circumnavigations" exhibition - Arbiter ...

By paigeeaglestone Monday, February 11th, 2013

Megan Riley / The Arbiter

Anna Marie Boles, a professor of art at the College of Western Idaho, studio artist and a self-proclaimed ?jack of all trades? said she has always enjoyed the view from the airplane window.

Judging from her exhibition, ?Circumnavigations,? currently on display in the Visual Arts Center Gallery Two located in the Hemingway Western Studies Center, her outlook has greater graphics and more detail than any typical window could possibly provide.

?I had this extraordinary light. I had the clouds but not totally covering the landscape,? Boles said in reference to her
?Airbus? piece.

In this piece she utilizes pictures from her personal camera and display from a monitor directly in front of her seat, on a plane to England. It was this distinct landscape imagery which inspired her to begin a collection centering on mapping and grid work.?But ?Circumnavigations? is more than just collective sequential photographs and scaled charts.

Boles includes industrial pieces with elements such as copper, dyed rope and wires.?Her mediums greatly range from organic apple wood and graphite to an inorganic modern neon installation.

Kelsey Lovell, junior elementary education major, said of the exhibition, ?It?s beautiful. ?It?s beautiful how they can take something that?s so opposite of art, just like the landscape and the land and maps and turn it into all these different meetings of art.?

Krista Klebenow, sophomore art education major, agreed with Lovell saying, ?We were commenting on how fantastic it is to see so many different mediums contributing to a single idea or point.?

From first glance, one can tell the origins in history, from the mere mention of print and map making and the use of wood, paper, graphite and oils.?However, one can also see the progression toward the modern era with one of the mediums used being ?Google maps.?

Boles said she used digital mapping with the real maps, together with her understanding of Idaho?s landscape.

This resulted in an integration of history and technology, a complete picture of the terrain from full scale imagery with the option of miniscule amplified facets.

With various concepts and means, Boles is able to generate levels to her grid work, demonstrating to her audience the amazing texture and presence that can established through her permutations.

For more information about the event, upcoming exhibitions and updates for the Visual Arts Center visit their Facebook or

?Circumnavigations? is on display in the Visual Arts Center Gallery Two in the Hemingway Western Studies Center through March 15.

Ten dead in stampede at Hindu festival in India

ALLAHABAD, India (AP) ? At least 10 people were killed and a dozen more injured Sunday after a stampede broke out at a train station in the northern Indian town where millions of devout Hindus gathered for a religious festival, a senior government minister said.

Pawan Bansal, India's Railway Minister, told reporters that the stampede took place as massive crowds flooded the Allahabad train station on Sunday evening.

At least two television channels, NDTV and CNN-IBN said as many as 20 people were feared dead and 30 others injured. News reports said the large crowds caused a section of a footbridge at the station to collapse leading to the accident.

News reports said tens of thousands of people were at the train station at the time. Television showed large crowds pushing and jostling at the train station as policemen struggled to restore order.

"There was complete chaos. There was no doctor or ambulance for at least two hours after the accident," an eyewitness told NDTV news channel.

An estimated 30 million devotees were expected to take a dip at the Sangam, the confluence of three rivers ? the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati ? on Sunday, one of the holiest bathing days of the Kumbh Mela, or Pitcher Festival. The festival lasts 55 days and is one of the world's largest religious gatherings.

The auspicious bathing days are decided by the alignment of stars, and devout Hindus believe a dip in the sacred river on one of these days will wash away their sins and free them from the cycle of death and rebirth.

The festival brings together millions of devout worshipers and thousands of religious leaders and ascetics.

The most dramatic feature of the festival is the Naga sadhus ? ascetics with ash rubbed all over their bodies, wearing only marigold garlands ? leaping joyfully into the holy waters.

According to Hindu mythology, the Kumbh Mela celebrates the victory of gods over demons in a furious battle over nectar that would give them immortality. As one of the gods fled with a pitcher of the nectar across the skies, it spilled on four Indian towns_Allahabad, Nasik, Ujjain and Haridwar.

The Kumbh Mela is held four times every 12 years in those towns. Hindus believe that sins accumulated in past and current lives require them to continue the cycle of death and rebirth until they are cleansed. If they bathe at the Ganges on the most auspicious day of the festival, believers say they can rid themselves of their sins.

Afghan government: Prisoner abuse not systematic

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? An Afghan government panel acknowledged Monday that detainees face widespread torture but denied there is systematic abuse in government-run prisons.

The panel's findings were the result of a two-week fact-finding mission following a U.N. report last month that said Afghan authorities are still torturing prisoners despite promises of reforms. The country's intelligence service earlier had denied any torture in its detention facilities.

The complaints have prompted NATO to stop many transfers of detainees to the Afghans as concerns about torture raise questions about the government's commitment to human rights.

The U.N. report said more than half of the 635 detainees interviewed had been tortured ? about the same ratio found in its first report in 2011. It cited brutal tactics including hanging detainees from the ceiling by their wrists, beating them with cables and administering electric shocks.

Many rights activists have expressed concern that such abuses could become more common as international forces draw down and the country's Western allies become less watchful over a government that so far has taken few concrete actions to reform the system.

The Afghan panel also denied the allegation in the U.N. report that the government appeared to be trying to hide the mistreatment by hiding detainees in secret locations during inspections by international observers.

Commission head Abdul Qadir Adalatkhwa told reporters that torture and beatings occur in the first stages of the arrest "but not while they are in prison."

The delegation visited both male and female prisons as well as juvenile detention facilities.

Adalatkhwa said 148 of 284 prisoners interviewed in the provinces of Kabul, Kandahar and Herat complained of torture and misbehavior at the time of their arrest and during the interrogation period. Of those 136 cases were confirmed, he said. The panel also interviewed 23 female detainees and found no confirmed allegations of rape and abuses.

He also said more than 66 percent of those interviewed also had no access to defense lawyers.

The government-appointed commission plans to discuss the findings during a meeting with judicial officials and President Hamid Karzai later this week at the presidential palace, Adalatkhwa said.

"There is no systematic torture in Afghan detention centers," he said.

In a letter responding to the U.N. report, Gen. John Allen, the then-commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said his staff had written letters to Afghan ministers urging them to investigate more than 80 separate allegations of detainee abuse during the past 18 months.

"To date, Afghan officials have acted in only one instance," Allen said in the letter. In that case Afghan authorities did not fire the official in question, but transferred him from Kandahar province to Sar-e-Pul in the north.

The letter said the NATO military alliance had responded to the U.N. report by stopping transfers of detainees to seven facilities in Kabul, Laghman, Herat, Khost and Kunduz provinces ? most of them the same facilities that were flagged a year ago.

The transfers were halted in October, when the U.N. shared its preliminary findings with the military coalition.

"We have only stopped transferring some detainees to certain Afghan facilities," Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the international military alliance in Kabul. "The Afghan government has stated its commitment to upholding its human rights obligations and we remain committed to working together with the International Community to support them in their efforts to tackle this difficult problem. "

PFT: Pats could part with both Welker, Lloyd

Getty Images

With the Patriots tepid on the topic of keeping cornerback Aqib Talib with a multi-year deal, his former college coach has offered a surprisingly strong assessment in response to the notion that Talib doesn?t work hard enough.

?[H]e loves to play football,? Mark Mangino recently told Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald.? ?He enjoyed practice time.? He hustled, made plays, did all of his drill work full speed, played hard in the games, did what was asked of him in the weight room, got bigger and stronger when he was with us.? I find that a little hard to believe.

?Things can change, obviously, but I stopped into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp [last summer]. I visited with several members of the staff, front office people, strength coaches, trainers, assistant coaches. To the person, they told me what a great job Aqib was doing. ?He is showing leadership. He is working his tail off in the [OTAs].? He?s been a leader.? He is really busting his butt, and he is really working hard.?

?That doesn?t always happen. I have been to training camps in the past where I?ve had a former player that I?ve coached, and the coaches have come up to me and say, ?This player doesn?t work hard. He?s not into it.?? They?ll tell you the truth. When you go to these NFL places, they don?t mince any words.?

The Bucs may not have minced words, but they eventually traded Talib.? And it?s no surprise.? As coach Greg Schiano tries to build a roster of players of high character, Talib was one of several who simply didn?t fit.

That said, Talib possibly was working hard; it could be that his four-game suspension for violating the league?s policy regarding performance-enhancing substances prompted the trade.? And it could be that an Adderall-free Talib doesn?t work as hard as he does when taking the banned stimulant.

Still, it seems a little odd Mangino is singing Talib?s praises.? Throughout Talib?s various on-field and off-field struggles, Mangino has not been a particularly vocal defender.? Also, it was widely known during the weeks preceding the 2008 draft that Kansas coaches were not saying flattering things about Talib to scouts.

The question now for the Pats is whether they can strike a deal that will extend Talib?s stay beyond a handful of 2012 games.? If he leaves, they won?t have gotten much in return for the fourth-round pick they sent to Tampa.

But at least they got a seventh-round pick back in return.
