Former death row inmate Isaiah McCoy goes free after sex trafficking charges dropped

HONOLULU POLICE DEPARTMENT VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Isaiah McCoy. McCoy, a former death row inmate from Delaware is a free man after the government dropped its sex trafficking case against him.
Former death row inmate Isaiah McCoy is a free man after the government dropped its sex trafficking case against him.
Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway ordered McCoy's immediate release from the federal courthouse this morning.
McCoy, 30, had been in custody with no opportunity for release on bond since January, when a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging him and his now-former Schofield Barracks soldier wife Tawana Roberts, 36, with trafficking an adult female for prostitution.
That same grand jury returned updated indictments in February and June charging McCoy with trafficking six more women and charging him and Roberts with trafficking a minor girl. The last indictment also charged McCoy with producing child pornography and tampering with witnesses.
Honolulu police say in state court records that they started investigating McCoy after receiving information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that links McCoy's prostitution activity to a fatal shooting outside a Waikiki nightclub in September last year. A McCoy associate is awaiting retrial in state court for murder.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Brady told Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway on Tuesday that the investigation failed to meet standards of law enforcement and his office.
Mollway had previously dismissed a sex trafficking charge involving one of the alleged victims after the chief investigator, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Cole Masutani admitted that he failed to turn over 133 text messages between him and the woman and failed to keep records of the communications.
McCoy denies pimping prostitutes. He said in open court, however, that he didn't force anyone to sell sex for money. He said the women were prostitutes before he met them and continued to prostitute themselves after he was arrested. Sex trafficking involves the use of force, threats of force, fraud or coercion.
Believing that the government was not prepared, McCoy asked to go to trial as soon as possible with a judge, not a jury, deciding his fate. Roberts also elected to have a non-jury trial.
McCoy also chose to be his own lawyer. Roberts was represented by court-appointed counsel.
At one point McCoy said he would admit to everything in the indictment after misinterpreting legal precedent from another case. He believed that the government needed to prove he was a pimp before coming to Hawaii.
Mollway commented that because of McCoy's experience with the criminal justice system, he is confident in his ability to represent himself, perhaps over-confident.
The trial started in September with one of the alleged trafficking victims testifying about communications between her and Masutani that neither the defense nor prosecution were aware of. Mollway dismissed the charge involving that witness. Both sides became aware of more undisclosed evidence as more witnesses testified.
Because of the continuing late disclosure of government evidence, Mollway contemplated last month but ultimately decided against dismissing the case. She said because there is no jury, she can halt the proceedings to give the defense time to investigate evidence as it receives them. Mollway said she can also recall witnesses. She said this as the trial was about to go on an agreed-upon one-month break.
The trial was supposed to have resumed today. During the break, the government dropped all charges against Roberts and dropped the charges involving the minor girl against McCoy. The trafficking and child pornography charges involving the girl would have been the toughest for McCoy to defend against.
Also during the break, Masutani said for the first time, under oath, that a cellphone, which he used to communicate with the alleged trafficking victims, had been destroyed and replaced with another cellphone.
Brady told Mollway last Thursday that an HSI lawyer later gave him new information suggesting that Masutani lied.
McCoy was sentenced to death in 2012 after a state jury in Delaware found him guilty of a drug-related murder. That state's Supreme Court overturned the conviction and sentence, and on retrial a state judge found McCoy not guilty last year and set him free.

NEW YORK — Lady Gaga, Whoopi Goldberg, Alicia Keys, drag performers and other artists have led a crowd of thousands marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion that catalyzed a movement for LGBTQ liberation.
Celebrities, New Yorkers and visitors from around the world converged on the Stonewall Inn in New York City on Friday to celebrate the uprising and its legacy.
Gaga told those gathered that they "are the definition of courage." Keys serenaded them with her hit "Girl on Fire" and other songs, including "True Colors," a 1980s hit for Cyndi Lauper. Its chorus declares: "Your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow."

Goldberg urged the throng to "remember the people who didn't make it this far" after helping pave a way forward for LGBTQ rights.
"Fifty years ago, people stood up for their rights, and look where we're at now. We've got flags all over the city," said Richard Walker, 58, an airline worker from New York. "I'm getting goosebumps just really thinking about it."
On June 28, 1969, patrons at the gay bar resisted a police raid, sparking days of demonstrations, followed by longer-term organizing that made the cause of LGBTQ rights considerably more visible than it had been.

HJ Farr, an actor from Madison, Wisconsin, recently worked on a show there about Stonewall and made a point of going Friday to the place where it happened.
"I benefit directly from the events that took place, and I wanted to pay my respects and just feel the history," Farr said.
Robert Beaird traveled from Dallas to attend the anniversary events. At 53, Beaird came out only recently after being married to a woman and fathering children.
"I just kind of hid who I was for my whole life, and then within the last two years, I've been going through this kind of cathartic experience of accepting myself," he said. "Just to be here with all these people is pretty amazing."
The modern incarnation of the Stonewall Inn was the focal point of a day of celebrations that was to include musical performances and an evening rally.
Sunday's huge Pride parade — and an alternative march intended as a less corporate commemoration — also will swing past the bar and a tiny park outside. The park is at the center of the Stonewall National Monument.

Jocelyn Burrell remembered Friday how she'd felt welcome at the Stonewall Inn years before, despite identifying as a heterosexual woman. She feels a sense of common cause with its legacy.
"Just like we fought — black people fought — for civil rights, I feel I should support other people who fight for civil rights," she said.
Cities around the world also began celebrating Pride on Friday. Participants in a march in the Philippines went by the presidential palace in Manila, waving placards as they marked the 25th year since the first such gathering.

In 1969, the Stonewall Inn was part of a gay scene that was known, yet not open. At the time, showing same-sex affection or dressing in a way deemed gender-inappropriate could get people arrested, and bars had lost liquor licenses for serving LGBTQ customers.
The police raid on the bar began early the morning of June 28. It was unlicensed, and the officers had been assigned to stop any illegal alcohol sales.
Patrons and people who converged on the bar on Christopher Street resisted , hurling objects and at points scuffling with the officers.
Protests followed over several more days. A year later, gay New Yorkers marked the anniversary of the riot with the Christopher Street Liberation Day March. Thousands proudly paraded through a city where, at the time, LGBTQ people were largely expected to stay in the shadows.
The Stonewall Inn itself closed not long after the raid. The current Stonewall Inn dates to the early 1990s.
"We understand we're the innkeepers of history," said current co-owner Stacy Lentz. "We really feel like the fire that started at Stonewall in 1969 is not done. The battleground has just shifted."

Step Into: To Rome With Love
Fodor's Editors | March 20, 2014
Woody Allen's latest film, To Rome With Love, opened last week. And in typical Woody fashion, this romp features an ensemble cast (Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Allen, Judy Davis, Roberto Benigni, Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, and Penélope Cruz) whose mishaps, misdeeds, and misunderstandings play out against the backdrop of Italy's iconic capital. Allen is famous for using the spirit of a location as another character in the plot. So, inspired by the twists and turns his characters take in the Eternal City, we give you an Allen-worthy itinerary complete with style picks to really step into To Rome With Love.
Villa Borghese
Ah, young love. Young, secret, adulterous love. The stunning grounds and secret ponds of the Villa Borghese are the backdrop for the angst of Ellen Page's character Monica and her very in love(and already taken) Jack. There's nowhere better in Rome to take a new flame, than the gardens of the Villa Borghese, and if you can tear your eyes away from each other for a moment, you'll have plenty of art to keep you otherwise enthralled.
What to See: This early 17th century palace was originally built to house fine works of art and natural specimens. Though it fell into disrepair, the Villa Borghese has been restored in many places and boasts a charming park with amphitheater, lake, zoo, and garden. One of its most stunning attractions is the Galleria Borghese, which houses sculptures and paintings dating back to the original owner, Cardinal Scipione, a nephew of Pope Paul V. See Bernini's David, Rubens' The Deposition and Caravaggio's David with the Head of Goliath.

Where to Eat: On Via Borgognona sits Nino, a budget-friendly eatery serving Roman and Tuscan dishes like papardelle and warm crostini. A favorite of celebrities and the international elite, Nino is the spot to take your new love if you're looking to impress with glitterati sightings.
Where to Stay: Get away from the bustle of Rome in the tiny Margutta 54's luxury suites. Four suites tucked away in a courtyard off Via Margutta are private enough for even the most secretive of couples.
What to Wear: Try loose, flowing linens and flowery prints this summer. Go for a sweet and pretty look in a printed skirt like this cotton and silk Enchanted Petals skirt by Nic and Zoe, available at Nordstrom.com
Alessandra Mastronardi plays Milly, a newlywed on her honeymoon with her affable, if nervous (er, Allen-like?), husband. Milly gets lost in the city looking for the salon and ends up at the bustling Piazza del Popolo. She is surprised and delighted (and torn) when a famous Italian actor makes her a rather indecent proposal.
What to See: Rome, indeed Italy in general, is known for some of the most brilliant ancient, Medieval and Renaissance art in the world. The Piazza del Popolo houses something new – MAXXI – Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo. Opened in 2010, the museum houses temporary art, architecture, and film exhibits from contemporary artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and permanent exhibits from the likes of Andy Warhol. For those who prefer something a little more,well, venerable, three churches adorn the piazza: the 15th century Santa Maria del Popolo, from which the piazza takes its name, and the twin churches Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli.
Where to Eat: Eat like a movie star at Il Convivio, where three brothers have elevated Italian cooking to that of haute cuisine. Traditional Italian meals are made over, while raw seafood plates also shine.
Where to Stay: Angling for your own celeb sighting in Rome? Up your chances at the Hotel de Russie on Via del Babuino, one of Fodor's 100 for 2011. This luxurious getaway, located in a 19th century building, features a terraced garden, luxe spa, and restaurant—perfect for some star gazing.
What to Wear: Be camera- ready in a flattering dress like this vibrant Moschino Cheap and Chic with a classic silhouette, just like Milly. Available at Net-a-Porter.com.
Villa dei Quintili
In an earnest, if misguided, attempt at helping Monica find love with another, Jack sets her up with a swarthy Italian, and as the three explore the ruins at Villa dei Quintili, Jack and John (Alec Baldwin) discuss his green-hued envy.
What to See: Discover Rome as it was two thousand years ago at the archeological site at Villa dei Quintili on the Via Appia Nuova. The ruins at Villa dei Quintili feature quarters for the owners and the servants, two thermal chambers, and stunning views. Open Tuesday through Sunday 9:00am – 7:30pm; admission is around $7.50/ticket and gets you not only into the Villa dei Quintili, but also the Baths of Caracalla and the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella.
Where to Eat: Villa dei Quintili is outside Rome's center, so dining options are more limited. We suggest making your repast in the city before or after taking the short trip to the ruins. To help you reflect on your time at the Villa, try Vecchia Roma ("Old Rome"), an aptly named spot in Piazza Campitelli that offers fantastic outdoor dining. Seafood is the star here in traditional preparations.
Where to Stay: The small but comfortable Relais Le Clarisse, is set in a former cloister. The accommodations are soulful and classic, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Enjoy a Mediterranean courtyard and garden while you unwind after a day of exploration.
What to Wear: Channel ancient Rome with this chic Sam Edelman Georgina Sandal, which goes from day-in-the-ruins to night-on-the-town with ease. Available at Nordstrom.com.

Anthony McGill & Pacifica Quartet Record American Stories
In fall 2022, Cedille will release American Stories, an exciting new collaboration between Chicago native, New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist, and 2020 Avery Fisher Prize-winner, Anthony McGill and the Grammy Award-winning Pacifica Quartet. As with all Cedille albums, American Stories features works proposed by the artists themselves. As is so often the case, the repertoire is personally meaningful and fulfills a powerful artistic vision. Anthony McGill reflects:
"I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE CAPACITY FOR ART AND MUSIC TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER. WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF SEPARATION AND SEGREGATION. I DESIRE TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO MORE SEPARATION, SEGREGATION, OR INJUSTICE, AND WHERE ART AND MUSIC UNITE US."
The works on the album explore the American experience from different perspectives, leading listeners to consider our present situation, reexamine our past, and imagine a better future. American Stories features works by American composers Ben Shirley; James Lee, III; Richard Danielpour; and Valerie Coleman.
Ben Shirley spent over two years living in a homeless shelter on Los Angeles' Skid Row. Grateful for a second chance at life, Shirley draws from personal experiences of desperation and redemption to ensure each original composition comes from a place of unpretentiousness and honesty. Shirley's High Sierra Sonata was commissioned by McGill and the Pacifica Quartet, who present its world-premiere recording.
James Lee, III's Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet explores the concept of identity in African American and Native American communities, and the reality of having one's cultural identity determined by others without individual choice. Influenced by Native American music and works by American Black composers Nathaniel Dett and William Dawson, the work receives its world-premiere recording.
Richard Danielpour's Four Angels, commissioned by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a reflection on the Birmingham church bombing in 1963 that killed four young girls. The piece is a continuation of his writing music from his lens on what was happening in America during the Civil Rights movement. The Museum released online a video of McGill in performance with the Catalyst Quartet. This will mark the work's first appearance on a professional produced, widely distributed album.
Valerie Coleman's Shotgun Houses sends a timely message of solidarity, by examining Muhammed Ali's work as a global citizen. The quintet is much more than just a musical biography; it's a conceptual offering, inspiring listeners to imagine what a community and nation can become through social responsibility, deep respect, and fellowship. On the importance of recording these works, Anthony McGill said:
"With these stories, we connect the idea of community and a community of diverse creators all around the world. We are telling a story not only within each individual work, but also the story of the composers themselves. We as the performers are also communicating our stories as well as theirs to create this project. The power of music is its ability to tell stories and to connect people with one another."
Cedille is eager to release this timely album next fall.

NHS experts have warned of a major growth in cyber attacks over the next few years.
Speaking ahead of the UK Health Show, one of the country's largest gathering of healthcare professionals, some 98% of those questioned as part of a survey expressed concerns about cyber security threats now facing the NHS, with more than 84% expecting their organisation to face an increase in attacks over the coming years.
And they will outline their concerns, and the possible solutions, at the show, which will be held on 28 September at London Olympia.
The comments come after Health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, called for the NHS to better reflect the 'era of the smartphone', with plans for greater use of smartphones and tablet devices by patients to access healthcare records, NHS services, and medical advice.
But 70% of professionals due to attend the Cyber Security in Healthcare Conference, part of the UK Health Show, cast doubt on the NHS's ability to securely share confidential patient data on apps and mobile devices.
NHS professionals due to attend a dedicated healthcare technology conference at the show also revealed further concerns in an additional survey.
The majority agreed that NHS use of digital tools had improved in recent years and that technological transformation was now essential for NHS efficiency and greater patient involvement in care decisions.
But more than 80% of delegates expressed a lack of confidence that the NHS would meet its 2020 paperless deadline.
The widely-held view supports findings from an independent report commissioned by Hunt and led by Professor Bob Wachter, which only weeks ago called on the Government to abandon its 2020 paperless NHS target, arguing that no change facing the health service is likely to be as 'important or challenging as creating a fully-digitised NHS'.
Professor Wachter will be addressing delegates at the conference via a live stream.
Across the two surveys more than 500 senior healthcare professionals the event responded.
Alexander Rushton, event director, said: "Technology will play a big role in shaping the future of the NHS and the way patients access services.
"UK Health Show delegates responding to the surveys have shown overwhelming confidence in the transformational power of data and technology, but have also revealed areas requiring immediate attention for this to happen.
The show will feature contributions from NHS England, the Department of Health, NHS Digital, NHS Improvement, the Information Commissioner's Office, NICE, NHS clinical commissioners, the Care Quality Commission, and Public Health England and will feature presentations from senior leaders across healthcare.
Key speakers include globally-renowned digital expert, Professor Wachter; Andy Williams, chief executive of NHS Digital; Keith McNeil, chief clinical information officer at NHS England; Professor Martin Severs, Caldicott guardian on the National Data Guardian's Panel; Jim Mackey, chief executive of NHS Improvement; Dr Phil Moore, chairman of NHS Clinical Commissioners Mental Health Network; and Julia Manning, Chief Executive of 2020health.

Sharon Stone Gets Candid About Life After Her Stroke: 'People Treated Me in a Way That Was Brutally Unkind'

Sharon Stone is back. And after famously serving as amfAR's Global Campaign Chair for 15 years, she's taken on a new role as advocate for brain-aging diseases that disproportionally affect women. Only one third of Alzheimers patients are men, for instance. And don't even get Stone started on strokes. "This is why I do it: My mother had a stroke. My grandmother had a stroke. I had a massive stroke — and a nine-day brain bleed," she told Variety at an event she hosted to raise awareness for the Women's Brain Health Initiative in West Hollywood on Wednesday night.
They say that Hollywood loves a comeback but unfortunately, that has not been Stone's experience. "People treated me in a way that was brutally unkind," she said. And she wasn't referring to men (other than perhaps her ex-husband Phil Bronstein). "From other women in my own business to the female judge who handled my custody case, I don't think anyone grasps how dangerous a stroke is for women and what it takes to recover — it took me about seven years."
During that time, Stone suffered insurmountable losses, both professional and personal: "[From] trying to keep custody of my son to just functioning — to be able to work at all," Stone added. "I was so grateful to [LVMH head and now the second-richest person in the world] Bernard Arnault, who rescued me by giving me a Dior contract. But I had to remortgage my house. I lost everything I had. I lost my place in the business. I was like the hottest movie star, you know?" she said, her voice trailing off. "It was like Miss Princess Diana and I were so famous — and she died and I had a stroke. And we were forgotten."
But what Stone wants people to remember is her potentially life-saving advice: "if you have a really bad headache, you need to go to the hospital," she said. "I didn't get to the hospital until day three or four of my stroke. Most people die. I had a 1% chance of living by the time I got surgery — and they wouldn't know for a month if I would live." At the time, Stone wasn't even aware of how dire her chances for survival were. "No one told me — I read it in a magazine," she added.
The sister of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" was another one of the lucky survivors of a brain aneurysm. "She had a massive headache and collapsed," Jane Seymour told Variety. "She was not expected to live, and they had to close down [the set of] 'Dr. Quinn.' I was by her bedside the whole time. But she managed to relearn how to walk, talk and she's good now. We call her the miracle."
Even though Stone didn't initially feel any love from the sisterhood, she was certainly surrounded by admirers on this night. Andie MacDowell, Kelly Lynch, Garcelle Beauvais and Rumer Willis were among the actresses who turned out to show their support at celebrity florist Eric Buterbaugh's galley. And as far as they're concerned, Stone is still a hot movie star. "I've known Sharon a long time and she is truly powerful woman," Broadway and film producer Paula Wagner told Variety. "Whatever she undertakes, she does it with great strength and intelligence and brings awareness to it. So it's wonderful that she is bringing this story openly and honestly. She inspires me."

2    STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE  AND  AUTHORIZING  THE  JOINT  LEGISLATIVE
3        OVERSIGHT  COMMITTEE  TO  DIRECT  THE OFFICE OF PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS TO
4        CONDUCT A STUDY OF IDAHO'S KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 12 PUBLIC  EDUCATION
5        FUNDING FORMULA AND TO PROVIDE FOR STUDY OBJECTIVES.
6    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
7        WHEREAS,  this  Legislature and the state of Idaho hold as one of our most
8    important priorities the provision of a quality public  education  system  for
9    all  of Idaho's children, regardless of where they live or their economic cir-
10    cumstances; and
11        WHEREAS, Section 1, Article IX of the Constitution of the State  of  Idaho
12    provides:  "The  stability of a republican form of government depending mainly
13    upon the intelligence of the people, it shall be the duty of  the  legislature
14    of  Idaho, to establish and maintain a general, uniform and thorough system of
15    public, free common schools."; and
16        WHEREAS, the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-second Idaho  Legislature
17    in  1994  directed  the  State Board of Education to adopt rules necessary and
18    consistent with a thorough system of education; and
19        WHEREAS, in response, the Idaho State Board  of  Education  adopted  rules
20    that further define the essential ingredients of a thorough education, includ-
21    ing  establishing  standards  for each subject and grade level and identifying
22    minimum graduation standards; and
23        WHEREAS, to ensure success, such a system requires sufficient resources to
24    employ highly qualified teachers and other educators, the provision of  appro-
25    priate  learning materials and technology, and the establishment of assessment
26    programs and practices; and
27        WHEREAS, the state of Idaho spends the largest share of its general  fund,
28    approximately  $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2007, on kindergarten through grade
29    12 public education; and
30        WHEREAS, there is an ongoing debate about whether Idaho's  public  schools
31    are adequately funded, without any clear definition of what is "adequate"; and
32        WHEREAS, each year, many school districts have to seek additional funds to
33    meet their operational needs; and
34        WHEREAS,  school  districts  and citizen groups have raised concerns about
35    the adequacy of kindergarten through grade 12 public education funding; and
36        WHEREAS, there is benefit in a clear and impartially derived determination
37    as to what is an adequately funded kindergarten through grade 12 public educa-
38    tion system.
39        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second  Regular  Ses-
40    sion  of the Fifty-ninth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Repre-
41    sentatives concurring therein, that the Joint Legislative Oversight  Committee
42    is  authorized  to  direct  the Office of Performance Evaluations to conduct a
43    study of Idaho's kindergarten through grade 12 public education  funding  for-
44    mula in order to identify and evaluate issues relating to the adequacy of kin-
1    dergarten  through  grade  12  public  education funding, but exclude from the
2    study the issues of facilities and transportation. The Office  of  Performance
3    Evaluation study shall focus on the following objectives:
4        (1)  Review  research  on school funding and obtain information from other
5        states and  national  education  organizations  to  evaluate  how  Idaho's
6        approach to funding compares to other states' approaches, and identify the
7        strengths and weaknesses of those various approaches;
8        (2)  From  the  stakeholders' perspectives, identify and evaluate adequacy
9        issues in public education funding in Idaho related  to  how  the  current
10        funding  formula  allocates  funds  to  school districts and, in turn, how
11        school districts allocate funds to individual schools;
12        (3)  Based on data currently available from school districts and the State
13        Department of Education related to spending, student  characteristics  and
14        performance  indicators,  attempt  to  verify and quantify specific issues
15        raised in addressing objectives (1) and (2);
16        (4)  Evaluate how other states have addressed the  same  kinds  of  issues
17        facing Idaho, ascertain whether those efforts have proven to be successful
18        and evaluate the feasibility of undertaking similar efforts in Idaho; and
19        (5)  To the extent that avoidable and unintended problems with the current
20        funding formula and allocations of state funds are identified, make recom-
21        mendations to rectify those problems and, as appropriate, identify options
22        and  criteria that permit the Legislature to focus on the highest priority
23        issues that may emerge from this study.
24        BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Office  of  Performance  Evaluation  shall
25    report  its  study to the First Regular Session of the Sixtieth Idaho Legisla-
26    ture.
Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact
RS 17506
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the Office of
Performance Evaluations to conduct a study of Idaho's
Kindergarten through grade 12 public education funding formula in
order to identify and evaluate issues relating to the adequacy of
K-12 public education funding.  The current funding formula was
established in the mid-1990's and has not been evaluated to
ascertain whether or not it is meeting the intentions for
providing funding in the K-12 public system since that time.
About half of Idaho's school districts pass supplemental levies
yearly and there are repeated calls to fund schools "adequately"
yet no definition of "adequately funded schools" exists.  This
resolution seeks to begin the research needed to define "adequate
funding" for our K-12 schools in an objective manner with the
Legislature's non-partisan professional evaluation staff at the
Office of Performance Evaluations.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Office of Performance Evaluations will need to do some
outside contracting on this study and the cost is estimated to be
$200,000.  This amount will be needed in addition to OPE's
regular budget which is funded from the State's General Fund.

In his first change to the front office as team president, Kevin Pritchard is hiring Chad Buchanan to be General Manager.
These two have a long history, and that's important. They first met in 2002 while working together for the ABA's Kansas City Knights. A few years later, Pritchard the Portland Trail Blazers Director of Player Personnel at the time, hired Buchanan as a scout.
For the last three seasons, Buchanan was the assistant general manager for the Charlotte Hornets.
Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical first reported the hire, which has not yet been announced.
Buchanan played baseball and basketball at Simpson College. He then served as their assistant basketball coach from 1997-2002 before moving on to Kansas City. After one season, he left to take an assistant coaching job at Drake University.
You may start referring to the Pacers as Portland East. That's because there are numerous former Trail Blazers now with the Pacers. Pritchard, Buchanan, head coach Nate McMillan, and assistant Bill Bayno.
Pritchard has been on the job now two months, promoted from GM on May 1 as Larry Bird stepped down. Officially an advisor to the president of basketball operations, Bird is still at Bankers Life Fieldhouse daily.
Pritchard's job hasn't been easy. He is currently working overtime to move Paul George after George's agent informed Pritchard on June 16th that he planned to leave the franchise after the upcoming 2017-18 season. It's better to trade now for some value rather than lose their four-time All-Star for nothing.
In his first draft, the Pacers drafted T.J. Leaf at 18, Ike Anigbogu at 47, and sent cash to New Orleans to select Edmond Sumner at 52. Moreover, Pritchard did not pick up the option on Lavoy Allen's contract.
The basketball community respects Buchanan and how he does his job.
Proud alma mater. Congratulations Chad!

Expert Public Health Nursing Practice: A Complex Tapestry
Leonie Gallaher, RGON, MA (Hons) Director of Nursing and Midwifery, Northland Health
The research outlined in this paper used Heideggerian phenomenology, as interpreted and utilised by Benner (1984) to examine the phenomenon of expert public health nursing practice within a New Zealand community health setting. Narrative interviews were conducted with eight identified expert practitioners who are currently practising in this speciality area. Data analysis led to the identification and description of themes which were supported by paradigm cases and exemplars. Four key themes were identified which captured the essence of the phenomenon of expert public health nursing practice as this was revealed in the practice of the research participants. The themes describe the finely tuned recognition and assessment skills demonstrated by these nurses; their ability to form, sustain and close relationships with clients over time; the skilful coaching undertaken with clients; and the way in which they coped with the dark side of their work with integrity and courage. It was recognised that neither the themes nor the various threads described within each theme exist in isolation from each other. Each theme is closely interrelated with others, and integrated into the complex tapestry of expert public health nursing practice that emerged in this study. Although the research findings supported much of what is reported in other published studies that have explored both expert and public health nursing practice, differences were apparent. This suggests that nurses should be cautious about using models or concepts developed in contexts that are often vastly different to the New Zealand nursing scene, without carefully evaluating their relevance.
Key words: Expert, public health nursing, Benner
Following the publication of Benner's original research in 1984, the concept of expert nursing practice has continued to be debated and critiqued in the literature and within diverse nursing forums. English (1993) for example has denigrated aspects of Benner's work, making the claim that the expert nurse as presented by Benner is some "blessed practitioner, initiated into the protected knowledge of some secret society" (English, Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Vol. 14 No. 3 1999 Page 17 p.389). In contrast, Darbyshire (1994) strongly supports Benner's interpretative approach to understanding the complexity of expert nursing practice. Continued

Raw was live from San Antonio, Texas last night. This is the best time of year to be a wrestling fan. We're less than a week away from the 25th anniversary show and less than two weeks away from the Rumble. WrestleMania is so close you can taste it. It's wonderful. If you're going to remember one thing from this show, it's going to be Braun Strowman. BRAUN STROWMAN in the biggest possible capital letters. There were other segments, including Nia Jax vs. Asuka, The Revival vs. local competitors and Rollins vs. Balor in the main event. Without further ado, the five stars from the 1/15/18 edition of WWE Raw.
The start and end of the Braun Strowman story line was pretty silly. Braun opened Raw with a quick, impactful promo about his destruction last week and his desire to win the Universal title. He's interrupted by Kurt Angle, who fired him for almost murdering Lesnar and Kane. Strowman took this in stride and calmly exited the building. Just kidding, he tried to kill everybody and everything. Throughout multiple segments he tossed around security guards, beat up people in catering, ate a piece of chocolate cake, flipped a production truck and threw Michael Cole off the stage. That was the fun part.
The lame part is that after firing him earlier in the night, Angle rehired Strowman and put him back in the title match at the Rumble after being told to do so by Stephanie McMahon via mysterious phone call. I understand the firing led to all the fun and cool stuff we love about Strowman, but I think they could have come up with something more interesting than "Stephanie called and said you're rehired". Also, that's not a great precedent to set. Next time someone gets fired, they should try to burn the building down until Stephanie agrees to rehire them.
Even though the story was a little lame, that doesn't change the fact that Strowman is THE MAN. It bums me out that he probably won't win the title at the Rumble, because there is no one on the roster more ready for a title than Braun Strowman.
Cedric Alexander still isn't getting the crowd reactions, but you can't deny his ability in the ring. He took on Tony Nese last night in a fun, competitive match with a clean finish. That's all you can ask for when you're building up a title challenger. I also love how the Lumbar Check is turning into a finisher opponents should fear. When Cedric hits that move, it's lights out. He went for it a few times during the match but Nese was able to escape. Once he was softened up enough, Cedric was finally able to hit it and pick up the win.
The Cedric/Enzo story has dragged out due to real illness and fake injuries, and the Rumble result is anyone's guess. Enzo is the main attraction for 205 Live, and he loses most of his shine without the belt. Cedric has been the main challenger for months now. If you don't put the title on him at the Rumble, you have to move on. I know he just signed today, but I'm all for Enzo and the Zo Train holding the belt until Ricochet is ready to blow everyone's minds on the main roster.
The Revival beat the snot out of local competitors, and it's impossible to explain how much better the tag team division is when they're involved. They're the best TEAM on the roster by a mile, and they somehow make technically sound wrestling exciting. After the match, they issue a warning to all the returning legends coming back for next week's 25th anniversary show. They also call themselves 'professional wrestlers' which could be seen as tacky, but I liked it because it's true. The Revival wrestle in trunks, elbow and knee pads. They have a simple entrance theme, simple catchphrases and let their in ring work do the talking. The only downside is how often they've been injured on the main roster, but hopefully that's a thing of the past.
With teams like the New Age Outlaws and Dudley Boyz returning next week, I hope The Revival get to shine against a legendary duo. Also, if there is a God, The Bar and the Revival will be feuding over the tag belts in a hoss off very soon.
What Braun Strowman accomplishes with physicality and violence, Elias does with a guitar and words. Elias is one of my favorite parts of the show, and most of the time it has to do with his ballads. You can tell he's having a blast out there, and I hope he, The Miz and the Miz-Tourage continue to stay together. Elias always gets a reaction out of the crowd, too. Right now it's loud boos whenever he makes fun of the city he's in. I wouldn't be surprised to see those boos turn to cheers once people start to appreciate how entertaining he is.
He pairs perfectly with Miz and the Miz-Tourage, and hopefully he'll continue to play the Miz to the ring. Miz cut another great promo, and if you want examples of why Elias and Miz are two of the best talkers on Raw, watch this segment, Unfortunately it's followed by Roman Reigns easily beating Axel and Dallas with Miz helping them, but you can't have everything.
It does irritate me that WWE is doing the same thing with Reign's IC title run that they did with Cena and the US belt. Yes, the open challenge is great. It's also great to see Roman wrestling competitive matches and giving guys a spotlight. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to build up one challenger and have him beat Reigns for the title, though? When Cena was US champ, they had him beat everybody in competitive matches. No singular guy gained any momentum, and he eventually lost the belt to a returning Alberto Del Rio.
Maybe Reigns loses it to Miz next week, or maybe he loses it to a random challenger between now and WM, Either way, that's not as effective as building a story with a challenger people want to see win the belt. They're being predictable by not being predictable, if that makes any sense. It's cool because literally anyone could dethrone Reigns. On the other hand, WWE is having surprise challengers instead of building someone who can keep the momentum Reigns is generating. If the plan is still Reigns/Lesnar at WM, put the IC belt on Miz, and turn Elias face to challenge him.
Finn Balor took on Seth Rollins in the main event. It was a rematch from their Universal title match at Summerslam that Balor was unfortunately injured in. Before I get to the match, I need to mention something. The Extraordinary Man Who Can Do Extraordinary Things is the worst nickname of all time. Balor is electric and basically markets himself, but that's the best WWE could come up with? It makes him sound like a circus performer. Anyway, Balor, Gallows & Anderson finally have some purpose now that they're paired together, which is a great thing. Balor and Rollins have great chemistry together as well, and WWE is out of their minds if both guys don't get ample time in the Rumble.
Balor loses, but only after Jason Jordan trips him up which allows Rollins to finish him off with the Curb Stomp. I can't explain how much of an upgrade the Curb Stomp is to Rollins' B version of the V-Trigger. It's a true knock out blow, especially when guys sell it like Balor did last night. With Balor leading the Balor Club and Rollins getting the Curb Stomp back, they should be two of the top guys to win the Rumble. Ambrose is out for awhile and Jordan is reportedly hurt too, which could open up Rollins for a single's run.
If I'm settings things up for WM season, here's how I'd set up the title pictures. Reigns, Miz and Elias focusing on the IC belt. The Bar, The Revival, Gallows/Anderson focusing on the tag belts. Everyone chasing Asuka for the women's belt. Balor, Rollins & Strowman trying to dethrone Lesnar.

Home Finance The west is a victim of its own long peace
The west is a victim of its own long peace
It is not so much the guns as the grins that make the photo such a document of its times. "Santa, please bring ammo", tweets US Congressman Thomas Massie as his seven-strong household pose with rifles in front of a blameless Christmas tree. His pun-strewn replies to accusations of bad taste confirm that this is "just" playful lib-owning at work. What, his entire being seems to ask, is the worst that could happen?
Five years since the votes for Brexit and Donald Trump, it is still not understood how much populism boils down to antic rebellion rather than (the initial theory) economic grievance or (much more a leftwing thing) doctrinal belief. This is to some extent a movement of laughing cavaliers. Violence is not their wish, but nor do they recognise it as a plausible and unintended outcome of their doings.
And why, given the lack of warnings from recent history, should they? Temporally, we are now almost as far from the second world war as it was from the American Civil War. Few voters in the west have ever seen their domestic politics go catastrophically, life-endangeringly wrong (at least until the Capitol siege of almost a year ago.) Their appetite for political risk is therefore only natural. Consider it the civic version of the rash consumption and investment at the end of a business cycle, when the last crash is too remote to remember. "Stability is destabilising," said the economist Hyman Minsky, who should have tried his hand at political commentary.
Bob Dole enlisted in the US Army in 1942 © AP
To define the west's problem as one of casualness, not wilful malevolence, is not to minimise it. In fact, it is much the harder problem to fix. The implication is that nothing short of a violent crisis will restore to people a healthy fear of the political extremes. Social media can be tamed, electoral dark money banned and education improved to little effect. These are tactical answers to a problem that could not be any more structural: in today's grating argot, a lack of "lived experience" of the consequences of populism.
It is a problem that by definition gets worse with time. When the second world war veteran Bob Dole died at 98 last weekend, the US did not just lose a dry wit and once-productive senator. It lost one of its few remaining messengers from the dire first half of the last century. Praise for him is really a lament for the generations who kept politics more or less steady from 1945 to just before the millennium.
Liberals have had half a decade to study populism in its modern form. They still miss its ludic element: its treatment of politics as a kind of low-stakes team sport. Even those who credit it tend to blame the innate frivolity of individuals, rather than a historic context in which no electoral choice has gone disastrously wrong in living memory. It cannot be a fluke that the most stable major democracy, Germany, is the one where the second world war, or rather its demagogic prelude, is simply never allowed to leave public discourse.
If and when US democracy falls, giggling complacency, not moustache-twirling villainy, will be the presiding atmosphere. Of course, there are real believers and zealots on the American right. Former Trump aide Steve Bannon is one, as is the writer Michael Anton. But there were plenty of those in the 1990s and (in Barry Goldwater, a presidential candidate) the 1960s too. What has changed is the share of the wider populace who think no harm can come of extensively indulging them.
In encounters with Trump voters and donors, a certain type recurs: unfailingly civil, vanilla in most of their tastes and often easier company than their leftwing equivalents. Some are just loyal conservatives. (Dole himself was not above a bit of tribalism.) Some, as is true of the most prominent Brexiters, relish an outsider cachet that was hitherto denied them by their own wealth and whiteness. Almost all are hurt to be thought of as enablers of civic damage to their country. In toying with the likes of Trump, their main failing is one of imagination, not of conscience. They can't picture the worst-case scenario. Two or three generations separate them from any salutary historical lesson about what a fissile material politics is.
To regard anything in public life as "inevitable" is to succumb to teleology. Still, with the passing of Dole and much of his generation, it is hard to avoid the thought that societies grow rasher and more reckless as their memories of past crises fade. In other words, for the west, whose last existential mess is now a human lifetime ago, there is no avoiding the wages of success. It should expect its politics to wobble and lurch until such time as citizens taste the consequences again.

Q: Remove a past git commit from history - non-interactively Reading the answers to:
Git - Remove commit from history
I only see suggestions involving interactively editing a TODO file. Is there a way to drop a single commit, given its hash, and keep ("pick") all subsequent commits, without user interaction?

A: Basic solution:
A solution due to a comment by @phd, and originally found here:
To remove the commit with hash value SHA, write:
git rebase --onto SHA^ SHA

But remember that rebasing and merges have complex interactions, which you should read about if your history involves merges.
Cherry on top:
You can create an alias for this idiom, via ~/.gitconfig:
[alias]
    drop = !git rebase --onto $1^ $1 && :

with which you will be able to write simply:
git drop SHA

Aberdeen-based group sets up Singapore subsidiary
Aberdeen-based Offshore Container Holdings (OCHL) is expanding into Asia with the establishment of a Singapore subsidiary.
By Ian Forsyth
[[success]]
OEG Asia Pacific will supply clients in the offshore oil and gas industry with specialist, pressurised engineering cabins and a range of containers and baskets.
More than £1million has been invested in a new rental-fleet construction programme for Singapore.
The opening of the base is the first phase of OCHL's three-year plan to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, to eventually cover Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia and China.
OCHL chief executive John Heiton said: "By setting up a subsidiary in Singapore, we are creating an international service and support hub for our customers in the Asia-Pacific region. The establishment of this base will enable us to provide a rapid response to local customers' needs and support them technically on the ground during their own operations.
"Initially, there will be a small team working at the Singapore office, but we will be looking to expand staff numbers over the following months to meet the expected increasing level of enquiries and upcoming projects currently being pursued."
OCHL has recruited John Aw, who has more than 10 years' experience in sales and marketing, as regional director to launch and head up the Singapore base. He joins OCHL from HB Rentals where he spent two years as regional sales manager for the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr Heiton said: "This is a great appointment for OCHL and John's experience and connections in the Asia-Pacific region will provide a real boost to our international business opportunities. We are confident he will play an influential role in establishing OCHL and its products in the Asia-Pacific region, where we hope to establish a more prominent presence over the next three years."
The company was formed in 2008 by private-equity groups Lansdowne Capital and Claver Capital, as a vehicle to develop a leading worldwide rental business.

Q: Getting error while deploying Java project in Netbeans I am getting an error (exceptions) while deploying my project. Some time ago the project was working but now it is not working. Please tell me a solution to get rid of this.

A: You dont provide any code so i ll answer about the error. Link Failure usually means that there was a problem trying to communicate with a service. This means, it seems like your jsp couldn't connect to your database on a connection level. Do you have your DB instance listening on localhost? Do you have firewalls in place that's preventing communication between your jsp and your DB instance? Have you checked the internet connection? The link? Maybe its usefull to check this Solving a "communications link failure" with JDBC and MySQL

A: It seems you forgot to include MySql connector into library. Please check if MySql connector is available in your project library.

A: As no code is provided, I just go trough troubleshooting from your GlassFish application server. I suppose you are using connection pool to connect to DB. Are you able to ping your connection pool? You might try via admin console or command line :
asadmin> ping-connection-pool myPool

BPEA Article

PDF File Governance Structure, Managerial Characteristics, and Firm Performance in the Deregulated Rail Industry (Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, 1992)
THE PASSAGE OF the Staggers Act in 1980, which removed most federal economic regulations from the rail industry, provided the managers of U.S. railroads with a clear legislative sanction to earn a fair return on capital. To this end, they undertook a number of initiatives to rationalize their rate structure, input utilization, and scale of operations to increase returns to competitive levels. The number of Class I railroads has been reduced from 37 to 14; railroad labor has been trimmed 52 percent, and route mileage 29 percent. Rates of return have risen substantially, although by 1990 no railroad had consistently earned its cost of capital. Railroad companies have shared the benefits of deregulation with shippers, in the form of improved service and moderate real rates, and with shareholders, in the form of higher returns. Thus, managers have not only responded to the opportunities provided by the competitive market, but have also been increasingly subject to its discipline.

We haven't been so into the sounds of acoustic guitars since Bon Iver. Get drawn in by The Beach's off-kilter tones.
Cited as The Beach's most direct song to date, 'Maybe?' is an enthralling offering. Opening with his gravelly voice, harking out against soft guitars, you can't help but listen to every word as he calls out about starting wars. A much more conventional pop breakdown leads into himself questioning about love and ignorance. Full throttle fighting calls dissolve in soulful vocal soars and make for a confusing, thrilling mix.
The video won't help too much with your fluctuating emotions either, spinning from character to character, each chained to a desk in a police questioning room. There's tears, impassioned screams, threats and pensive stares. Our favourite is the blonde girl who looks like an angel who spits everywhere. Good on ya girl.
The Beach's 'Maybe' EP is out on Oct 9th on Year One / RCA Records. He will perform three shows at The Social in London over the course of next month. 7, 15, and 28 September.

I Personally Don't Think Kate Winslet Has Consumed Enough Wawa Products
PublishedMay 7, 2021
Photo: Photo by C Flanigan/Getty Images (Getty Images)
Like a good portion of the Jezebel staff, I am currently hooked on Mare of Easttown, the latest prestige crime drama from HBO starring an Oscar-winning white woman. The show stars Kate Winslet as Mare (yes her name is Mare, no she's not the mayor) an extremely rough-around-the-edges detective in small-town Pennsylvania who is trying to solve the murder of a local, can you guess... dead girl, ding ding ding! She is also aided by a county detective played brilliantly against type by Evan Peters, because Mare isn't actually very good at her job.
The Irishman Thinks Your Favorite Superhero Movie Sucks
Jezebel Investigates: When Does an Actress Become a Mother on Screen?
Matthew McConaughey Gives Impassioned Plea For Gun Reform
The show has gotten a lot of attention for being good, but it's also gotten a lot of attention for being set in Pennsylvania and for its astonishing commitment to showing off the state's culture. There is extraordinary attention to detail in the show's realism, with Winslet sporting a hard to master PA accent, swinging back hoagies and Rolling Rock beers (although I'm surprised she isn't drinking Yuengling, as Eater also pointed out). And, of course, there is Wawa, specifically lots of Wawa coffee.
To the delight of Wawa evangelists everywhere (me included, as a native South Jerseyan) Winslet recently talked about how great the chain is on the podcast The Envelope, saying she discovered the chain by reading a copy of the Delaware County Daily Times and seeing Wawa mentioned frequently. "To me it almost felt like a mythical place, Wawa," she says. "By the time I got there, I was like, 'It's real!' Walking into a Wawa ultimately felt like... it was kind of an honor, in a funny way, because to me that was the heart of Delco," she said. "So to finally walk through the door of a Wawa, I don't know why I felt like, 'Oh, yes, I'm here, I belong. This is where it's at. Wawa."
Incredible. But when Winslet is asked what her "must-gets" are when she goes to a Wawa, she says she mostly sticks to coffee. It turns out Peters is the one really committing to the role. "He would say, you gotta try the Gobbler," Winslet says. "It was this gigantic sub, or hoagie, this huge hoagie," she says, dipping back into her PA accent. "It's basically a Thanksgiving meal in a hoagie. He was like, 'I just eat that thing and I pass out' and I'm like, 'I'm not surprised! I'm not surprised.'"
Winslet, I love that you've joined the ranks of Wawa fans, but there is way more to eat there than coffee. Pastries! Breakfast sandwiches! Iced tea! An infinite combination of hoagies you can make with their futuristic ordering system! Coffee is simply not good enough.

The Unexpected Patient tells the stories of patients who impacted health carers in unforgettable ways: patients who showed stubborn perseverance on the road to recovery, who clung to hope in the face of unexpected trauma, and who illuminated the indomitable depths of the human spirit.
These stories look at the things that lead to bad health outcomes, from the seeds that are set before we are born, to the personal choices we make, and to societal and health sector shortcomings. Yet, ultimately, The Unexpected Patient is about human relationships and the bonds forged between two people: a medic and that one, unforgettable patient.
