who find him collapsed on the floor with his jacket torn to shreds That destroyed jacket will become very important later. Fortunately, the Doctor is not seriously injured, just stunned. They leave his destroyed jacket behind and beat a hasty exit.

Meanwhile mister Tea-Partier City Administrator continues to threaten the Second Elder, and ends up killing him. Dun dun DUN! He decides to use this to his own advantage, by framing the humans for the murder. He and his accomplice rush off to see the First Elder, who is already meeting with the Doctor, Ian, and Susan, and who has just given the Doctor a new cloak to replace his destroyed jacket. The accomplice spins a tale about how he witnessed the Doctor murder the Second Elder by pullinga weapon from his jacket. You know, the jacket that was destroyed one paragraph before and which the First Elder himself replaced. The First Elder sees right through the transparent lie, and sends the accomplice off to jail. Still, although the City Administrator is pig-ignorant, he is very crafty. He recovers quickly and lets his accomplice take the fall while he himself weasels his way into a promotion as the new Second Elder.

Meanwhile, ZombieJohn has been cured and is now just John. He remembers that he is engaged to NavigatorLady, and he is very happy. But he also clear-headed enough to let Susan and NavigatorLady know that the former City Administrator is the bad guy. In the meantime, the Doctor and Ian have mounted a new expedition into


the aqueduct, armed with junk weapons and a faulty map, both deliberately altered by the new Second Elder. As NavigatorLady rushes off to warn the First Elder, she is kidnapped by the bad guys. Who could have possibly seen a kidnapping coming in this episode? (Besides anyone who read the title card at the opening, I mean...)

A Desperate Venture

Jacqueline Hill has returned from vacation. I mean, um, Barbara has been sent for from the spaceship. The bad guy forces NavigatorLady to write a literal Dear John letter to NotZombieJohn, saying she has returned to the spaceship. Of course, both NavigatorLady and the First Elder know the letter must be falsely written under duress, because the transport shuttle had already been in use shuttling Barbara down to the Sensosphere.Knowing that the Doctor and Ian have been sent off with damaged equipment, Barbara and NotZombieJohn rush off to their rescue. With the First Elder's aid, Susan uses one of the mental disc things to guide Susan through the aqueduct tunnels. As it turns out, there are three humans from the previous expedition who have been living in the tunnels for years waging a secret war against the Sensorites by poisoning their water supply. They have all gone quite mad, obsessed with the great riches they believe they will accrue once they have eliminated the planet's population.

In the end, the duplicitous Second Elder née City Administrator is found out and exiled to the wilderness. The three insane humans are captured and handed over to PilotDude, NavigatorLady, and NotZombieJohn

Jarrett said that wildfires are a natural occurrence and are initiated by lightning strikes during dry seasons. Firestation 65 responded with a brush truck and helped extinguish the fire along with the UCF Fire Team and Jarrett.

The fire was put out quickly, and the Florida Forest Service plowed a line around the brush fire location to secure the area. Jarrett said that it is possible there could be some lingering smoke in the morning but that it should dissipate by midday.


mainly due to the relatively high influence that the Catholic Church has in shaping Italian beliefs and attitudes toward homosexuality and deviations from conventional gender roles. Other influences come from the Mediterranean traditions that are deeply rooted through the country, especially in the Southern, where the current study was conducted, which emphasize the role of honor and shame in shaping masculine and feminine socialization [ 29 ]. As a consequence, the recognition of civil rights for homosexual people has progressed and still moves slower in Italy with respect to other Western countries.

back and behind him, which carries through as his arms raise over his

Ghazi ZOARAB, Petitioner,
v.
Michael B. MUKASEY, Respondent.
No. 07-3624.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Argued: April 22, 2008.
Decided and Filed: May 6, 2008.
ARGUED: Cassandra J. Wiemken, Stites & Harbison, Louisville, Kentucky, for Petitioner. Shahrzad Baghai, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. ON BRIEF: Cassandra J. Wiemken, Clark C. Johnson, Stites & Harbison, Louisville, Kentucky, *778 for Petitioner. Greg D. Mack, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Before: GILMAN, ROGERS, and McKEAGUE, Circuit Judges.

OPINION
McKEAGUE, Circuit Judge.
In this asylum case, Ghazi Zoarab asks court to give controlling weight to the unique circumstances of the monarchical government in the United Arab Emirates (the "U.A.E."), where any expression against the integrity of a royal family member is said to constitute political expression. Contrary to Zoarab's contention,


however, there is little in the record to suggest that his comments about a soured business deal with a prince amounted to political speech. Accordingly, we deny his petition for review.

I

A. Factual Background
Zoarab was born in 1949 in Rafah, Palestine, located in the then-Egyptian-controlled territory of the Gaza Strip. Zoarab lived there through high school, and attended college in Beirut, Lebanon. He has not returned to his native Palestine since leaving for college in 1972. After graduation, he resided briefly in Egypt on a now-expired visa.
While living in Egypt, a bank in the U.A.E. offered Zoarab a job, which he accepted. He obtained resident status in the U.A.E. conditioned on continued employment. Over the course of nineteen years, the bank promoted him to director of accounting, a positionfor which he enjoyed increased compensation and social standing. He testified that he earned approximately $1,500/month at the bank.
Briefly, the U.A.E. is a federation of seven emirates with no democratically elected institutions or political parties. Political rule is patriarchal, with allegiance defined by loyalty to tribal leaders and leaders of individual emirates, and with freedoms of speech and press restricted by the government. The U.A.E.'s constitution prohibits torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, and entry into homes without the owner's permission, although the U.S. Department of State has noted incidents of flogging and incommunicado detention imposed under Shari'a law. Each emirate has it own independent police force. According to the State Department's 2003 country report, there were no reports of human rights abuses by the police forces.
In 1996, Zoarab


and his cousin-in-law, Mousa Zoarab, invested in Al-Wafa Brokers & Intermediaries ("Al-Wafa"). H.E. Shaikh Mohammad Bin Saqr Al Qasimi ("Prince Mohammad"), the third son of the crown prince of Ras Al Khaimah (one of the U.A.E.'s seven emirates) as well as the emirate's director of judicial courts, was the principal owner of Al-Wafa. Al-Wafa issued receipts to Zoarab and his cousin-in-law and other investors securing at least fifty percent of their investments in case of insolvency or dissolution. The company went bankrupt in 1999. At the time, Zoarab's initial investment of $50,000 was valued at $30,000. He was unsuccessful in collecting the secured portion of his investment, so he and his cousin-in-law went to Prince Mohammad's office to try to collect in person. When they were barred frommeeting with the Prince, Zoarab and his cousin-in-law angrily accused him of being a thief.
Later that day, Mousa Zoarab was arrested in his home in Ras Al Khaimah. He was detained for approximately six months. During his detention, he suffered physical abuse and hunger. After his release, *779 he required disc surgery for back pain due at least in part to his imprisonment. Additionally, the Prince had him fired from his job as a teacher. Since his release, Mousa Zoarab and his family still live in Ras Al Khaimah, where he now works as a car salesman.
Mousa Zoarab's wife called to warn Zoarab shortly after her husband's arrest. Taking heed, Zoarab did not return to his home in Ajman, a neighboring emirate in which Prince Mohammad had no


authority. He stayed with friends and family for approximately four months, returning home from time to time to get personal items and to check on his family. During this period, Prince Mohammad sent security guards to Zoarab's home at least twice. The guards questioned Zoarab's wife, friends, and neighbors about his whereabouts, but never entered his home.
Eventually, the director of the bank asked Zoarab to resign from his job, which Zoarab did in March 2000. The bank paid him approximately $20,000 in severance pay. He could have maintained his resident status by seeking employment with another employer-sponsor. Zoarab testified, however, that he could not seek new employment in the U.A.E. because doing so would have made him vulnerable to the Prince's guards who were looking for him. Withoutemployment or some other ground for residency in the U.A.E., he applied for and received a visa to enter the United States in July 2000.
Currently, Zoarab's wife and four of his six children reside in Ajman. His wife is employed. The remaining two children attend medical school in Egypt.

B. Procedural History
Zoarab entered the United States in August 2000 as a non-immigrant visitor for pleasure and subsequently overstayed his visa. He applied for asylum in March 2001. The former Immigration and Naturalization Services referred his application to an immigration judge ("IJ"). Zoarab made his initial appearance before the IJ in February 2004. He admitted the allegations made in the notice to appear and asked for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and


that case, the asylum applicant had served as a policeman and a customs officer in the Philippines. Id. at 1179. In the course of his official duties, he uncovered widespread and entrenched corruption by his supervisors. Id. He eventually went public with his findings; thereafter, he received death threats, his property was vandalized, and his pets were poisoned. Id. at 1180. He and his family sought asylum in the United States, which the BIA rejected. Id. On petition for review, the Ninth Circuit reversed. *782 The court recognized that whistleblowing could, under certain circumstances, constitute political activity. Id. at 1181. The court went on to decree: "When the alleged corruption is inextricably intertwined with government operation, the exposure and prosecution of such an abuse of public trust isany issue of public corruption, nepotism, lack of political rights, or anything that could reasonably be construed as political in nature. Nor was the confrontation part of a "relatively public" campaign. Id. at 988. Even though the U.A.E.'s restrictions on freedoms of speech and press limit a resident's ability to expose government corruption, Zoarab has been living in the United States for several years. He has offered no letters to the editor, editorials, pamphlets, internet blog entries, or any other evidence of political expression he made against the U.A.E. Simply put, Zoarab has offered no evidence that either before or after the confrontation he led a public (or even private) campaign against the government or individual members of the royalty-he just (quite understandably) wanted his money back.

To no surprise, Jessica Jones will be back at Netflix.

The streaming service announced Sunday at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour that the Marvel drama will return for a second season.

Premiering in November to rave reviews, the drama is the second of five planned Marvel dramas for Netflix. It joins Daredevil (previously renewed for season two) as well as the upcoming Luke Cage, Iron Fist and mash-up miniseries The Defenders. News also leaked Saturday that the streamer is eyeing a Daredevil spinoff of The Punisher featuring Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead) as the title character. (Bernthal makes his Daredevil debut in season two, bowing in March.)

A nominee at Sunday's Critics' Choice Awards for leading lady Krysten Ritter, the series is executive produced by showrunner Melissa Rosenberg (Twilight,Dexter) and Liz Friedman (Elementary). Marvel's Jeph Loeb oversees for the comic book powerhouse. (Co-star David Tenant was [spoiler alert] killed off in the season one finale and is not expected to return.)

While Netflix continues to keep its ratings under wraps, NBC revealed startup tech firm Symphony's recent sample that ranked Jessica Jones as Netflix's most-watched series from September-December and found that Jessica Jones was "viewed" by an average of 4.8 million total viewers in the adults 18-49 demographic. (Worth noting that viewership is measured by an average of six minutes of audio sound.)

In terms of timing for season two, which will consist of 13 episodes, Netflix has not yet announced when it will premiere. When asked Sunday, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said, "The Defenders production


play into that — time, availability."

Should The Punisher go to series, Marvel would have six dramas on the small screen, including ABC's Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter. A potential seventh, Marvel's Most Wanted — a spinoff of SHIELD — is set as a pilot at ABC.

For Netflix, Jessica Jones is part of a rapidly growing drama slate of originals that also includes Black Mirror, Flaked, The Ranch, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Grace and Frankie, Orange Is the New Black, Stranger Things and The Get Down, among others. Premiere dates for the previous series were also announced Sunday at TCA.Hannover (disambiguation)

The Middle East has not received much attention in the British electoral campaign. Yet whoever forms the next government will have to establish a stance on the putative Middle East peace process, on Iran, on relations with the Arab Gulf states, including security cooperation and arms sales, and on developments in Iraq, even if British troops are no longer on the ground there.

Judging by the statements of the three main party leaders in their televised debate on foreign policy, all are supportive of British troops in Afghanistan, but none want to see them remain there indefinitely. Labour Party leader Gordon Brown has nonetheless argued that the British deployment is integral to a broader strategy to counter the forces of extremism that could still inspire or instigate attacks onto calls for a boycott of Israeli imports, or at least a bar on products made in Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband made the imposition of customs duties on such goods a facet of Labour policy. Yet Miliband has done this within the broader context of EU free trade agreements with Israel, which require goods made in the territories to be clearly labeled as such.

Yet this points to the wider context within which the next British government will have to deal with a range of foreign-policy issues, including those in the Middle East.

It is the United States that has adopted the lead on reviving peace talks, and it would make no sense for the future British government to adopt a significantly different


line than Washington. Also, as of the Dec. 8 EU statement on the Arab-Israeli conflict, echoed in the most recent pronouncement of the "quartet" (that groups the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia), all EU members have agreed to a joint position on the conflict.

It would be a surprise if the next British government chose to row back on this agreed position. However, unless the Labour Party is able to lead the next government, there could be changes in British relations with both the European Union and the United States under either a Conservative or a combined Conservative and Lib Dem leadership.

While the Tories are mostly Euro-skeptics, the Lib Dems are positively enthusiastic about British involvement in the European Union. Also, the Conservatives haveforeign secretary, will first have to divine a way forward on British relations with the European Union and the United States. The decision of the Conservatives to leave the center-right bloc in the European parliament in favor of an alignment with right-wing groups considered populist and even anti-Semitic in more mainstream EU circles portends an uncomfortable relationship with the rest of Europe.

The key question therefore is what role the Lib Dems could play in tempering the foreign-policy leanings of a Conservative or Labour leadership in a minority or coalition government. They could rescue a Tory leadership from isolation in Europe. Yet they will probably not be able to make changes to British ties to the Arab states of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates cabinet approved steps on Sunday that would allow for 100 percent ownership of UAE-based businesses by foreign investors by year-end, the state news agency WAM said.

The decision is part of a wider change to the system that would grant residency visas of up to 10 years to investors and specialists in scientific, technical, medical and research fields, the agency said.

The cabinet meeting was chaired by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai. He directed the economy minister to implement the resolution and submit a study following up its impact in the third quarter of thisand had many serious injuries consisting of fractures, wounds, bruises, and contusions. She had a concussion, was in serious shock, unconscious, and her condition was critical. It was thought that she could not survive. Complications developed. She required immediate and continuous care and treatment. Her condition presented perplexing problems and required portentous decisions to be made. This was true while appellee was in charge as her attending physician from August 11 to August 29, at which time she was removed to another hospital. At that time it could not be told if she would live, or if she did, what her physical condition would be. The other daughter and the son of appellant came to the hospital soon after appellee arrived there. The daughter had a head wound,


multiple fractures, some compound, and was in a serious condition. The boy had a large lacerated wound of the right knee, bruises on the right side of his forehead, and was in moderate shock.
It is conceded that appellee performed medical and surgical services for children of appellant. He and his wife were at the Clarkson Hospital at the time the children entered it and frequently thereafter until *746 the children were taken from it. They met appellee there, knew he had rendered and was rendering the services claimed by him for their children, and were in consultations with him and other doctors concerning the children and their care. They asked appellee to secure the assistance of other doctors and to consult with them, and he did. Among thesewere Dr. Bennett, a neurologist, Dr. Martin, an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Boyne, a specialist in jaw surgery, Dr. Kelly, an X-ray specialist, and Dr. Thompson, as consultant and assistant in an operation. Appellee also consulted with Dr. Barry, family physician, and called to his assistance Dr. Best when he first got on the case because of the emergency and the fact that he could not attend the three at once. Appellee and the parents of the children talked frequently about what was being done for them and discussed the possibilities of future developments.

The tendered instruction was that if the jury found by a preponderance of the evidence that appellee was employed by the railway company to treat the appellant's children, he could not recover against appellant. The evidence is that at the time important to this controversy appellee was engaged by the Chicago & North Western Railway Company as division surgeon for it and its subsidiary, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway, on a salary to care for, when he was available, injured employees and passengers who received injury in transit on the lines of these companies.

Factual background
On October 5, 2005, Albuquerque police officer Maureen O'Brien responded to a *1067 call of domestic violence at Herrera's apartment. When O'Brien arrived at the apartment, she encountered Herrera, who at the time was sixteen years old. Herrera stated that she and her boyfriend, Tomas Jaramillo, had been arguing and that Jaramillo struck her. Herrera further stated that Jaramillo left the apartment after the incident, leaving her and her then-three-year-old son, who was asleep in the bedroom, as the only occupants. Herrera also admitted that she had been drinking alcohol.
O'Brien walked through the apartment and observed that it was "filthy," with "razors, food, cigarette butts, and clothes on the floor." App. at 46. O'Brien noticed that "the bathtub was full of black water


and had a foul odor." Id. O'Brien also observed "a vicious pit bull chained up in the backyard that had access into the kitchen" of the apartment. Id. at 58. When O'Brien commented on the condition of the apartment, Herrera "responded by stating that she was in the process of moving out." Id. at 31. When O'Brien questioned Herrera about the "state of the tub," Herrera "informed [O'Brien] that the tub had been backing up and that they had spoken to the landlord about the situation." Id. at 32. Herrera also claimed to have "been using someone else's bathroom to bathe her child."[1]Id.
O'Brien decided, based upon the unsanitary conditions of the apartment, to contact New Mexico's Child, Youth & Families Department (CYFD). A CYFD worker arrived on thescene and paramedic services were contacted in order to check the health of Herrera's son. The paramedic examination indicated that the child was in good health. O'Brien also contacted the City of Albuquerque's nuisance abatement officials based on her concerns that the apartment complex was not up to city code.
Ultimately, O'Brien arrested Herrera for violating New Mexico's child abuse statute, N.M. Stat. § 30-6-1. O'Brien did so because she was concerned that Herrera's son "could hurt himself by picking up the razor blades that were on the floor, ingesting the cigarette butts on the floor, being attacked by the pitbull in the kitchen or drowning in the sewage that was in the bathtub." Id. at 153. O'Brien was also concerned "that the child could have sustained an infection


due to the sewage in the bathtub." Id. at 154. Lastly, O'Brien "had concerns because ... Herrera had disclosed ... that she had been drinking alcohol ... that evening." Id.
Herrera spent one day in jail as a result of the arrest. Apparently, the criminal charges against her were dismissed.

Procedural background
In 2007, Herrera filed suit in New Mexico state court against the Albuquerque Police Department (APD), the City of Albuquerque (City), O'Brien, and John Does I through V, whom she alleged "were involved in hiring, training, supervising or disciplining" O'Brien. Id. at 15. Herrera's complaint summarized the events leading to her arrest on October 5, 2005, and asserted causes of action under the New Mexico Tort Claims Act (Count I) and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Counts II and III).NOW PLAYING

Invasion robs Baghdad of its beauty

Baghdad, whose name means the Garden of God, has fallen from grace.

24 Mar 2005 01:53 GMT

The war has exacted a heavy toll on the Iraqi capital

Known for centuries as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, its landscape has been marred by concrete blast walls, barbed wire, steel barricades, sandbags and crumbling buildings pockmarked by bullet holes or ransacked by explosions.

Things have become so bad that the Iraqi capital has dropped to the bottom of a quality of life survey of 215 cities, conducted by the London-based Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

"We used to be under sanctions and the economic conditions were dire, but never was the city so ugly," Fadhila Dawud, a teacher who used to take her students on


picnics along the banks of the Tigris, said.

Now they hold picnics in the school courtyard.

Glorious past

Once dubbed the City of Peace, Baghdad was founded in the 8th century by Caliph Abu Jafar al-Mansur as the capital for his rising Muslim Abbasid empire. The city soon became the heart of mediaeval Muslim civilisation - a centre of arts, culture and architecture.

Areas of the city were destroyed by US bombing in March 2003

Forming half-circles on the two sides of the Tigris, its suburbs, parks, gardens, mosques and marble mansions earned it the reputation as the richest and most beautiful city in the world.

Since then, Baghdad has survived the 13th century mayhem inflicted on it by the Mongols, the 16th-century marginalisation by the Ottomans and two decades of war and sanctionsunder ousted ruler Saddam Hussein.

Saddam himself did not help with beautification - most of the apartment complexes, government buildings and palaces built under his orders would not have won any architecture prizes. And then there were the dozen of statues and oversized portraits of the Iraqi leader that decorated those buildings.

City of barricades

After the US-led invasion in March 2003, the city of five million became one large military barricade: Humvees and tanks roaming the streets, helicopters rattling above, checkpoints and soldiers everywhere.

An armed campaign against the US-led forces compounded the scars on the city's face, undermining its ailing infrastructure and tattering the remaining grace.

The rampant lawlessness has also encouraged people to take over buildings previously occupied by government offices and construct squatter settlements.

Tainted walls

Even democracy has taken its toll on Baghdad. Posters and banners of candidates running in the landmark January elections - a collage of mismatched colours - are still plastered everywhere, tainting roundabouts and walls two months after the vote.

The US military said it realised the city had suffered but that the measures were necessary.

"Any soldier of Task Force Baghdad would concede the point that concrete blocks, blast walls and barbed wire are ugly security tools that detract from the beauty of any city," Lt-Col Cliff Kent, a US Army spokesman, said.

But Kadhim, the janitor, says he is hopeful Baghdad will reclaim its beauty.

A total of 290 persons died in the Sri Lankan church attacks.

For Sri Lankan Christians, the joy associated with Easter celebrations swiftly turned into grief when suicide bombers conducted coordinated attacks on three upscale hotels and three churches. A total of 290 individuals were slaughtered and 500 injured. The targeted churches were jam-packed with worshippers when the bombs detonated. A U.S. State Department official confirmed that a minimum of four Americans lost their lives in the attack.

The attacks have led Sri Lankan security officials to anticipate and search for several other possible targets. They soon located an improvised bomb at an airport and detonators at a specific bus terminal. The Government of Sri Lanka initially released conflicting information about who could be responsible for such bombings. A fewofficials said that it is the handiwork of a local faction, while others hinted at a global network of terrorist organizations. A government spokesperson admitted to having received multiple warnings before the terrorist attacks but did not act on them. The government was warned on the actions of National Tawheed Jamath, a radical Islamic group that supports a worldwide jihadist movement.

Experts opine if the attacks were found to be religiously motivated, the events will be recorded as one of the bloodiest sectarian attacks during the recent decades in Sri Lanka, a nation where civil war stopped in 2009. One church which was attacked, the Zion Church, still contains the remains of things dropped when people fled the scene or upended from the blast. The floor was strewn with

His sermon reverberates from the stage into the seats and bleachers of Reliant Stadium. Thousands of Christians—many of the 30,000 who've made it inside—get up and take his advice. They break into small huddles and start praying about the economy. Walking past them, I hear incredibly specific words like "investments" and "9.2 percent unemployment" and "downgrade." I see people tearing up, dabbing their eyes, praying even more. They have to finish quickly, before the next round of songs and prayers. They've already sat through three hours of them; there are four hours left to go.

"The Response" is overwhelming, and that's the point. Just two months ago, Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, became the initiator of an event where Christians would "call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles."giant screens broadcasting these images to the stadium don't even refer to him as "governor." The only perk he's allowed is that he doesn't have a Spanish-language interpreter sharing the loudspeakers with him, a quirk that has made some of the other speakers hard to understand. He reads from the Book of Joel, 2:12-17:

"Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing—grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God. Blow the trumpet


in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.

Perry is interrupted by applause; the crowd wants to cheer the reference to Zion.

Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber. Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the temple porch and the altar. Let them say, "Spare your people, O Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?' "

Unlike the post-hardcore leanings of his former band, Sleepwave is more along the lines of 90's industrial rock along the lines of Filter and Stabbing Westward.

Chamberlain had this to say about his new project on the band's Facebook page, ”I believe in the power of a song and I believe in rock n roll but I also believe it is time for change in music.

The Gophers never finished higher than 46th in the composite recruiting rankings under recent coaches Jerry Kill and Tracy Claeys.

The relatively high ranking stems in part from having so many early commitments. USC, for comparison, ranks 41st, but that’s with only five commitments, four of which are four-star recruits.

Sixteen of the Gophers’ commitments are consensus three-star recruits, with Boe at two stars. But Fleck has landed several players ranked as “high three-star” recruits with several offers from other Power Five conference schools.

Defensive tackle Elijah Teague, for example, had offers from Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin and Tennessee. Cornerback Terrell Smith from Florida, Michigan State and Mississippi, and wide receiver Jornell Manns from Wisconsin and West Virginia.

Fleck and his assistants worked aup the vast majority of the population, had no say in the formulation of the conceptual schemes through which social reality was interpreted. Consequently, despite the fact that the ancient Egyptian state apparatus was essentially a machine for the exploitation of peasant labor, as the economic historian Robert C. Allen puts it: "the main function of the Pharaonic state was to transfer a considerable fraction of the income produced by Egypt's farmers to an unproductive aristocracy," no conception of exploitation was ever formulated in ancient Egyptian discourse (Allen, 1997, p. 139).3 For it is clear that it was not in the interests of the Pharaoh, his family, the state bureaucrats, the priesthood, and private landowners to formulate a concept like the concept of the exploitation of labor, since


traced to Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed (first published in 1968, then translated into English in 1970), and the debates that took place at Dar es Salaam University in the late 1960s and early 1970s about how to recast and adapt historical materialism to the situation in Tanzania (Park & Kinsey, 1991).8 PAR has been used to help rural women in countries like Tanzania, and India develop their own political and social movements. Both radical pedagogues and the adherents of PAR subscribe to the claim that "Education ought to enable whomever acquires it to fight against oppression" (Mbilinyi, 2010, p. 89) and that "the job of teachers is revolution" (Mbilinyi, 2010, p. 90). PAR's methodology is essentially aimed at the transformation of both the pedagogues (or thepedagogue should recognize that the apparent unintelligibility often reflects a deficiency on her part and not on the part of her interlocutors. It is the role of the revolutionary pedagogue to interpret what her interlocutors want to say despite the fact that they lack the conceptual apparatus to convey it in propositional form. For instance, rural women, from Kadimpara in Bangladesh, gave the following response when asked about their energy needs as part of a project conducted from 1985 to 1987: "We put in a lot of sweat to grow the turmeric.

The team was essentially not making any progress through discursive exposition of lessons about basic health practices and how to identify the various diseases which are prevalent in the region. They noticed that the women would break out into chants, dances during lessons. At first, they interpreted this as a sign that the women were simply not interested in learning. However, through careful thought about the hermeneutic tools which these women had access to, they came to realize that chants and dances were key tools through which those women interpreted their experiences and conveyed them to others. In other words, the facilitators were able to discover that the women far from being uninterested in learningR. Moore & J. Membrez, Trans.). New York, NY: Monthly Review Press.

When Donald Trump goes golfing, he’s accompanied by an ever-present Secret Service detail tasked with keeping him safe (and, according to a new book, helping Trump cheat by repositioning errant balls).

While Trump’s predecessors also hit the links, Trump both golfs more frequently than past presidents and opts to play at courses that are more costly to protect, namely his own. (Barack Obama often hit the links on courses located on military bases.) And the Secret Service has racked up hefty expenses protecting Trump during his golf outings.

Unlike the hole he was put in in Vietnam as a prisoner of war, he will not emerge from this hole to channel his hate across the globe, spreading death, tears and destruction wherever he cast his angry exceptionalist gaze.

His fervor to tear apart Syria in order to remove Bashar al-Assad as its leader saw him literally shake hands with the most dangerous and extreme terrorist’s right on Syrian soil. It is tempting to say it is a sign of the lengths he was prepared to go to in seeking to overthrow Assad and install a regime which would open up Syria to US trade and investment, but McCain had a long tradition in forging deep

It is a symbol of the US sinking into the mire, its soul well and truly lost. McCain has been transformed from Hyde to Jekyll, from beast to beauty in an extraordinary display of the most misplaced and repugnant admiration imaginable. His warmongering slate was wiped clean, replaced by the anointing of McCain as the new Mother Theresa, a human rights champion and world leader in disseminating the ideals of democracy and freedom. The rivers of blood and tears he did more than nearly anyone to create were washed away from public consciousness by gushingSyria have endured seven years of war waged by powerful international actors. Because of people like him, foreign leaders who earn the wrath of the US Empire will be demonized and face the full might of the military industrial complex.

McCain Meets Terrorists in Syria

John McCain was unrepentant in his desire to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad as the leader of Syria. He threw a hissy fit when Trump announced the end of the CIA train and assist program. Naturally, this was “playing into Russian hands.”

After his jaunts into Libya, leaving a trail of death and despair in his wake, he


after they actually went to the site and collected samples first hand—found no Sarin had been used, nor any substance contravening the chemical weapons convention. They found chlorinated organic compounds, substances found in water treatment and other every day products.

Bowing Down Before The White Helmets

Like all the war fanatics, McCain was an ardent admirer of the White Helmets, the propaganda operation created to justify the continuation of the war on Syria and the whitewashing of terrorists trained and sent to fight in Syria by western intelligence agencies, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

When they appeared they may be becoming yesterday’s news following the freeze to their funding announced by the US State Department, McCain, through his International Republican Institute stepped in to shower them with the 2018 McCain Instituteand discussed at the Sedona Forum? Are the Qatari and Turkish contracts a part of a deal to secure plausible deniability for the U.S in the case of another bungled chemical attack staged by the White Helmets in Idlib?

The award was very timely, coming at the time of the announced freeze of US funding of the White Helmets. At the same time, new projects through Turkey and Qatar were announced, suggesting an expansion, not a retraction of White Helmets activity in support of terrorists inside Syria.

Tony McCarroll Interview

Last month we asked you to submit your questions for Tony McCarroll and were inundated with responses. Tony was one of the founding members of ‘Rain’, the band who would later become Oasis.

During his time with the band, he played on what was at the time the fastest selling debut album of all time 'Definitely Maybe' and the Some Might Say single which would become part of the biggest selling album of the 90’s; What’s The Story (Morning Glory). His distinctive way of playing helped create a unique sound for the band in their early years and songs like Supersonic, Bring It On Down and Live Forever are all instantly recognisable from his signature style.

After leaving Oasis, Tony continued to play drums, he founded he bandRaika with his brothers and to this day continues to hold drum clinics for young musicians. In 2010 he released his the book ‘Oasis: The Truth’, telling the story of his time in the band. The book is a first hand account of Oasis becoming the biggest band in the country from their humble beginnings in Manchester and has received critical acclaim from both fans and journalists.

Hi Tony how’s things?

Things are good right now. The book has been a massive success and critically acclaimed across the nation and beyond, which feels rewarding in its own right. It has also lifted a huge weight from my shoulders which explains the feeling good bit.

Collingwood's first pick in last year's national draft, Isaac Quaynor, has put himself in the frame for selection against St Kilda at the MCG on Saturday.

The Magpies were impressed with the running defender's performance against Sandringham in the VFL on Sunday after he was named as an emergency to play against Carlton at the MCG in round seven.

Although Quaynor may have to bide his time with Dayne Beams set to return from a hip injury and James Aish expected to be right after missing three weeks with concussion the Magpies have been encouraged by the 19-year-old's transition into senior football and have had him in the selection mix for a couple of weeks.

Since it was reported in the summer of 2017 that sex doll Fanny was attracting more customers than real-life prostitutes at the Kontakthof brothel in the Austrian capital, Vienna, the sex doll craze has taken Europe by storm.

Many other brothels in Vienna bought silicone sex dolls from Japan, while in the German city of Dortmund, the first-ever sex doll brothel opened.

With a similar business having since opened in Barcelona, and an exclusive shop in Vienna only selling silicone life companions, an increasing number of people are wondering what sleeping with a doll would be like.

Not everyone is convinced that the sex doll craze will really lead to an increase in sales or brothel visits.

GlaxoSmithKline, Britain's biggest pharmaceutical company, has become the world's first drug major to commit to publishing clinical trial data in a move that campaigners hope will increase the likelihood of medical breakthroughs and protect patients from ill-advised prescriptions.

GSK's decision to publish the results of all drug trials comes just a year after it paid $3bn (£1.9bn) to settle claims it tricked and bribed doctors into prescribing children dangerous antidepressants. The allegations included a failure to reveal two scientific studies that challenged the efficacy of prescribing Paxil, known as Seroxat in the UK, to children.

The company's commitment to data transparency follows a high-profile campaign led by Ben Goldacre, a doctor and Guardian columnist,


Police detective touts tough love, tough drug penalties

Tough penalties and tough love are the best remedies for city drug problems, Port Jervis Detective Michael Worden said at a recent meeting of the Port Jervis drug task force.

Jessica Cohen

Tough penalties and tough love are the best remedies for city drug problems, Port Jervis Detective Michael Worden said at a recent meeting of the Port Jervis drug task force.

New narcotics formulations and the wide availability of cheap heroin have driven the recent heroin boom in Port Jervis. But from the mid-1990s to 2001, heroin-driven crime was also a problem, he said, and "aggressive enforcement" caused its decline.

"We do well with our conviction rates," Worden said, "but over the years the state took the teeth out of drug laws, and thethere existing, to-wit: the width of the highway, which was but about 20 feet, the number of persons using the said highway at that place and at that time, the curve in the said highway at that place, and at a speed which was dangerous to life and limb of persons using said highway, including plaintiff's decedent, said speed being 55 miles per hour.
"(c) That the said defendant failed and neglected to maintain sufficient control over his said motor vehicle and keep said motor vehicle on his right side of the said highway at that time and place, and did permit his said motor vehicle to cross to his left side of the said highway and to run off the paved portion of the said highway on his


French Lick. At that point State Road 56 was paved and was 19 feet 2 inches in width.
A blacktop road 18 feet in width running in a generally east and west direction and leading into *499 Haysville intersected with State Road 56 so as to form a Y. The north prong of the Y, for one approaching the intersection on State Road 56 from the east, was the blacktop road going straight ahead into Haysville, and the south prong of the Y was Road 56 as it curved to the south and on to Jasper. East of the intersection of State Road 56 and the blacktop road, and on the north side of the State Road was located the parsonage of Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church. Immediately east ofof the pavement, opposite the culvert, was a brick building then occupied by the Meyer Body Company.
Mrs. Margaret Himsel, mother of the decedent, lived on the north side of the blacktop road leading into Haysville, approximately 264 feet west of the point where that road entered State Road 56 and 471 feet west of the concrete culvert along the north side of State Road 56 above referred to.
On the 24th day of December, 1946, the decedent, Edward J. Himsel, left his farm home located about three miles southeast of Haysville, Indiana, about 5:00 or 5:30 p.m., accompanied by his wife, his daughter and his two sons. They drove to Christ's Evangelical *500 Lutheran Church, located at the east edge of Haysville, Indiana. His wife and daughter got out


of the car and went to the church where there was to be a children's program about 6:30 that evening. The decedent, with his two sons, went to the home of the decedent's mother, Margaret Himsel, to visit until time for the church service to start.
At about 6:12 p.m., that evening, the decedent left his mother's home alone to go to the church. At the time, he was 52 years of age, was 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed 215 pounds, and was in good health. As he left his mother's home, he was smoking his pipe, had his glasses with him, and the coat he wore was not stained or torn. At the time it was completely dark and gloomy and had previously been raining.
The decedent didnot appear at the church for the services, and after the church services were over the decedent's two sons searched for him in Haysville and about the church properties twice. Finally, about 9:00 p.m., the two sons found the body in the open ditch by the concrete culvert along State Road 56. The decedent's head and face were against the culvert head, stomach down, and the rest of the body was stretched out in the ditch. There was blood all over the decedent, on the ground and on the culvert. His skull was fractured, which had caused his death. There was a burn-like scar about the size of a hand on his right hip, and a bruise between the knee and ankle of his right leg. The decedent's


pipe was found approximately 25 feet from the ditch in which the body was found. His glasses were found in the parsonage yard approximately 25 feet northeast of the body. The cloth was broken through his suit he wore. The decedent's coat was offered and admitted into evidence.
Visible tire tracks were found where a tire had left the road on the curve west of the body and had run *501 along the shoulder approximately 2 feet off the pavement to a point 8 or 10 feet east of where the body lay. The tracks then went back on the pavement, over the center line approximately 2 feet, then back to the north side of the pavement and almost off, then to the south again and off the southside of the pavement and back to the north side of the pavement where another car was struck. These tracks covered a distance of approximately 300 feet and were visible.
At one point on the shoulder where the earth was soft, the tire tracks had cut in the dirt an inch or inch and a half, and a State Policeman placed a board over this particular portion of the tracks to preserve the same for the purpose of identification. Glass was found along the ditch bank and road berm, around the body and along the road shoulder.
At about 6:15 or 6:30 that evening, a witness and her husband parked their car in front of the Meyer Body Company building to attend the church. Before crossing the highway, this witness


saw a "red glow, like it was from somebody's pipe" to her left to the west and along the north side of the blacktop. It was too dark to see anybody walking. She and her husband then crossed the road to the north side of State Road 56 and turned east toward the church. As they walked along the north shoulder of the road, both she and her husband heard a loud noise which to him sounded like a thud to his rear. Both saw lights from a car approaching from their rear and the car was crossing and zig-zagging back and forth across the pavement. Both heard the roar of its tires and both jumped away from the highway to keep from being hit and the husbandestimated the speed of the automobile at 45 to 50 miles per hour. After passing the witnesses the car angled on the pavement until it hit Clifford Hoffman's car in the cemetery beyond the church.
*502 Another witness was walking along the edge of the pavement on the north side of State Road 56, going from Haysville to the church, about 6:15 that evening. He saw the husband and wife whose testimony is referred to in the preceding paragraph. He heard a car approaching from his rear, coming up around the curve heading east in the direction of French Lick. As it approached him he heard a dull thump. He saw the car leaving the pavement before it passed him and he jumped off the road to avoid being


hit. After the car passed him it went to the south side of the road and back to the north side of the road and struck another car belonging to Clifford Hoffman down by the cemetery. The witness estimated the speed of the car as it approached and passed him to be 50 miles per hour, and the tires made "a kind of squall like a car does when you kind of wiggle them too fast when going at a fast speed," and as the car approached him on the highway. The driver of the car that passed him was the defendant, Emil Kempf. When the witness asked the defendant what he was trying to do, if he was trying to scare somebody, Kempf said, "No, I hada blowout."
The Hoffman car, which was struck by the defendant's car, was parked on the east end of the parking lot in front of the church, on the north side of Road 56, headed toward the church, with the back out towards the highway. The back end of the Hoffman car had been struck, the cemetery fence had been knocked down and the Kempf car was stopped 10 to 15 feet over the fence line and inside the cemetery. Kempf seemed very nervous and excited and in an awful hurry to get going. He said he had had a blowout and changed the left front tire of his car. His brother and sister were in the car with him and after the tire was changed he drove the


car away.
*503 The State Policeman, on the same evening, proceeded to Dubois, Indiana, where he found the defendant in the home of his parents. At first the defendant denied having been in or through Haysville. The defendant's sister came in the room and asked, "Did we hit that man?" At the time the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The State Policeman examined the car which the defendant had been driving and which belonged to his father, and finally the defendant, with his family, returned to the scene of the accident.
When the Kempf car was examined that evening the left front fender had a pretty heavy dent in it, the door post between the windshield and the ventilator glass had a heavy dent in it; thewindshild was kind of shattered; the ventilator glass had a dent in it and there was a piece out of the ventilator glass; and the back glass of the car was almost completely out. There were some bits of glass in the back seat of the car.
The State Policeman fitted broken pieces of the glass that had been found beside the body into the brokenout places, both into the left ventilator glass in the door and also into one of the other glasses. A piece of glass so found fit into the ventilator glass of the Kempf car "perfectly" with the exception of a few little splinters. One of the pieces of safety glass, triangular in shape, which was found three feet south of the body of the


decedent and which was identified in the trial, fit into a broken place in the left ventilator of the defendant's car.
When the Kempf car was returned to the scene of the accident that night the spare tire was flat. There is a difference in the type of marking upon a highway that a flat tire will make and that which an inflated tire will make. The skid or burn of an inflated tire will show only the width of the tire and there will *504 be visible tread, but the flat tire will not show tread and will show blotches where the flat tire is gathered under the wheel and it will jump and bump and spread out as much as a foot and a half in width.The State Policeman testified that in his opinion the tire marks at the scene were not made by a flat tire.
When the Kempf car was returned to the scene of the accident the tires on the car were compared with the tracks which had been covered by the board. There was "no question" but what the left rear tire compared with the tracks  "it showed the tire plain"  but the left front tire did not compare with the tracks. The spare tire was then checked and it did compare with the other track on the ground.
On that same evening the State Policeman asked the defendant "why he hit the man," and the defendant replied "he didn't think he hit the man, he thought he hit the


sign post and no damage done; thought he missed the man."
The Kempf car was stored in the Meyer Body Shop under lock that night. The following morning the State Policeman returned to the scene, examined the car again and took the various photographs which were introduced into evidence. That morning the State Policeman also removed the flat spare tire for the purpose of having it examined.
Two tire experts examined the tire the same day. There was not a hole through the casing, but there was a break two inches long on the inside of the casing. It was the opinion of both of the experts that the break which the tire had was caused from a sharp object. The tire had not blown out. If the tire hadbeen run 300 feet while flat the tire would have been mutilated.
*505 The defendant was called as a witness by the plaintiff. After being cross-examined by his own attorneys he was excused from the witness stand. Later in the trial he was recalled by the defendant for the purpose of an additional question on cross-examination and was asked: "The night of December 24, 1946, when you drove your father's motor vehicle in Dubois County, State of Indiana, I will ask you in the driving and operating of that motor vehicle if your motor struck Edward J. Himsel?" to which the defendant answered "I did not."
There is a conflict in the evidence. There is circumstantial evidence that the car which appellant was driving struck the deceased, thereby resulting in


not be given.
The phrase "the real cause" found in the third sentence of the instruction, relating to the cause of the death of the decedent, would have placed upon the appellee the duty of establishing his case far beyond a fair preponderance of the evidence and would have required proof to a certainty.
The last portion of the instruction requiring a "satisfactory foundation" in the evidence and mandating a verdict for the defendant in the absence of such "satisfactory foundation," likewise placed an undue burden upon the appellee. As the court told the jury in its own instruction 2, the appellant was required to establish his case only by a fair preponderance of the evidence, which the court defined in its instruction 4. The term "satisfactory foundation" was notend of the firing pin which is thus forced forward into engagement with the primer of a cartridge disposed in a chamber at the rear end of the barrel. Burning of the powder in the cartridge forces the bullet down the barrel past the gas cylinder port, and hot gases pass through the port into the cylinder so as to force the piston, bolt carrier and bolt to begin moving rearwardly. During the initial movement the bolt rotates slightly relative to the frame and carrier so as to become disengaged from locking lugs on the receiver. During continued rearward movement, the carrier strikes and passes over the hammer forcing it to pivot backwards until it is engaged and held in a cocked position by the trigger assembly. The


front end of the bolt in succession pulls the empty shell from the chamber and ejects it from the rifle. The carrier then strikes the rear of the receiver and stops. A longitudinally disposed spiral spring having its rear end fixed with respect to the receiver and its front end engaged with the carrier is compressed by the rearward movement of the carrier. As soon as the carrier is stopped by striking the receiver the spring begins to force the carrier forward. As the carrier moves forward the bolt picks up a fresh cartridge from a magazine or clip and moves the fresh cartridge into the chamber. The bolt engages cam surfaces on the carrier causing the bolt to rotate in the carrier and become locked in theButler in Australia and then became involved with their then label "Pharmacy Records" as European representative.This led to me helping them release first album "This Is Silver Ray" here in the UK.Despite very good UK reviews It didn't sell too well and there was no more budget for PR in Europe where there was some interest from a German distributor.

polysaccharide diet. The higher amount of Firmicutes was also linked to more adiposity and body weight within mice. Specifically, within obese mice, the class Mollicutes (within the Firmicutes phylum) was the most common. When the microbiota of obese mice with this higher Firmicutes abundance was transplanted into the guts of germ-free mice, the germ-free mice gained a significant amount of fat as compared to those transplanted with the microbiota of lean mice with lower Firmicutes abundance.

The presence of Christensenella (Firmicutes, in class Clostridia), isolated from human faeces, has been found to correlate with lower body mass index.

Laboratory detection
The presence of Firmicutes can be reliably detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques.

Usoc Getting Back On Track

SHARON ROBB ON THE WINTER OLYMPICS

While the USOC sidestepped the controversy swirling around skier Bode Miller and figure skater Michelle Kwan, they met the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation scandal head-on.

When the federation's top officials failed to investigate the numerous charges of sexual harassment of athletes by coach Tim Nardiello, some dating back as far as 2002, an independent arbitrator investigated. He determined there was no credible evidence to support the claim, and Nardiello was reinstated.

The USOC put the brakes on what surely will make a year-end blooper list of how not to handle a major controversy before the Winter Olympics.

The USOC conducted its own four-week investigation and overruled the arbitrator by yanking Nardiello's credential and booting him off the U.S. Olympic coaching staff.The USOC went on to describe the federation's handling of the incident as "troubling" and "poor."

Troubling? That's an understatement. The Nardiello fiasco came on the heels of the federation's botched handling of Zach Lund's positive drug test, which the USBSF decided to handle internally instead of reporting it to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency as required.

The USOC, which has the final say over athletes and coaches selected for the Olympic team, did the right thing. It interviewed athletes, witnesses and Nardiello, who admitted he violated the USOC's Coaches' Code of Ethics, including dating an athlete from New Zealand whom he also coaches.

Instead of conducting its own investigation, the federation skirted the issue, swept it under the rug and said it would be dealt with after Turin. Though the USOC

A timely Washington Post piece looks at how the Saudis bribe left, right and center:

" This book is a collection of letters from American wars since the Civil War. The letters are great snapshots in time, bringing their histories alive. But what surprised me was the quality of the editor's (/author's) comments and narrations between each letter that strings them all into a very concise and well told history of American warfare from the soldiers' point of view. Great book. "

It is often necessary to employ decontamination procedures to neutralize or remove contaminants from the contaminated vehicles.
As an example, vehicle decontamination is often used during the quarantine of farms infected with foreign animal diseases.

India had many achievements to be proud of during the first four decades after its independence — a vibrant democracy, secularism and freedom of speech, comparable to many advanced economies — but economic growth was not one of them. India’s growth picked up only after 1990 and in three broad steps. It began with the reforms initiated by Manmohan Singh, with Narasimha Rao as prime minister, in the early 1990s, which got India growing annually at nearly 7 per cent, which at that time was quite an achievement. The second uptick happened around 2003, and a part of the credit for this goes to Atal Bihari Vajpayee as PM.

v.
Thomas JULIUS.
No. 3:07-CR-248 (RNC).
United States District Court, D. Connecticut.
August 7, 2008.

RULING AND ORDER
ROBERT N. CHATIGNY, District Judge.
The defendant is charged in a two count indictment with unlawful possession of a pistol and ammunition, which he has moved to suppress. The pistol was discovered as a result of a search conducted subsequent to the defendant's arrest in the apartment of a third party, Shana Moseley, with whom the defendant was staying after he absconded from state parole. After the pistol was discovered, a more extensive search of Ms. Moseley's apartment conducted pursuant to her written consent uncovered the ammunition. The motion to suppress has been the subject of an evidentiary hearing and briefing. In a prior oral ruling, the motion to suppress the ammunition was denied on theof special parole for possession of narcotics with intent to sell. At the same time, he received a concurrent sentence of four years in prison followed by four years of special parole for a probation violation relating to a sex offense. On August 5, 2002, the defendant was sentenced to three years and six months in prison, concurrent with the balance of the term of imprisonment in the narcotics case, for possession of a pistol without a permit.
On September 5, 2006, the defendant completed his term of imprisonment and was placed on special parole under the jurisdiction of the Board of Pardons and Paroles ("the Board"), an executive agency located within the Connecticut Department of Correction. See Conn. Gen.Stat. § 54-124a. A person on special parole is "subject

On October 17, 2006, the defendant failed to attend his weekly substance abuse counseling session. He also failed to attend the following week. The defendant's parole officer, Jose Cartagena, contacted the defendant's sponsor and learned that the defendant had vacated his approved residence. Based on this information, Officer Cartagena received permission from his supervisor to remand the defendant into custody for violating the conditions of his special parole. Officer Cartagena subsequently spoke with the defendant by telephone a number of times but the defendant refused to disclose his location and failed to turn himself in. Accordingly, OfficerCartagena transferred the defendant's case to the Board's fugitive investigation unit, and the Board issued a warrant for the defendant's reimprisonment.[3]
About two months later, on February 20, 2007, Officer Cartagena learned from a confidential source that the defendant was living with Ms. Moseley in the Fair Haven section of New Haven. Though the defendant's case had been transferred to the fugitive investigation unit, Officer Cartagena followed up on this tip himself. His investigation confirmed that the defendant was staying with Ms. Moseley at her apartment on the first floor of a multifamily house at 189 English Street. Officer Cartagena immediately notified the person in the fugitive investigation unit responsible for the defendant's case, Daniel Barry.
Officer Barry reviewed the defendant's record and decided that an attempt should be made
