The SPU file system is used on PowerPC machines that implement the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic Processor Units (SPUs).
The file system provides a name space similar to POSIX shared memory or message queues. Users that have write permissions on the file system can use spu_create(2) to establish SPU contexts under the spufs root directory.
The files in spufs mostly follow the standard behavior for regular system calls like read(2) or write(2), but often support only a subset of the operations supported on regular file systems. This list details the supported operations and the deviations from the standard behavior described in the respective man pages.
Next Program Counter - only valid when the SPU is in a stopped state.
A write(2) operation on the file sets the register to the value given in the string. The string is parsed from the beginning until the first non-numeric character or the end of the buffer. Subsequent writes to the same file descriptor overwrite the previous setting.
Reads the contents of the tag status register. If the file is opened in blocking mode (i.e., without O_NONBLOCK), then the read will block until a DMA tag (as performed by a previous write) is complete. In non-blocking mode, the MFC tag status register will be returned without waiting.


"BlacKkKlansman," based on a book by El Paso author Ron Stallworth and directed by Spike Lee, was nominated for six Academy Awards on Tuesday morning. The nominations include Lee's first nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. The film, based on Stallworth's memoir "Black Klansman" about his time as a Colorado Springs police officer who infiltrated the KKK, was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. See the complete list of nominees for the 91st annual Academy Awards below.
Winners will be announced Feb. 24 on ABC at 8 p.m. EST/5 PST.


WOULD YOU PERSONALLY GO AND WASH DISHES FOR $20/HR?
I love to hear tough rhetoric !!
PLEASE lets not stop with fixing the illegal issues.
I would love to see an end to ALL government handouts.
Lets be honest too many American citizens have been abusing the system.
My main problem with illegals is the 2nd generation.
They grow up with little of the ambition that brought their parents here.
In fact they have an attitude of entitlement and resentment.
We all have to pay our dues.
also what pisses me of is generalization. u talk like all the immigrants are the same and just distinguish legal vs illegal. Legal=good guys, illegal=bad guys.
Study any of the reputable reports and you find that second generation immigrants, whether their parents were legal or not, are more motivated, more eager to assimilate, better versed in English, have lower crime rates than so-called regular citizens, ....in almost any category you choose to measure, they do extremely well.
But I suspect you have some credible sources to back up your claim to the contrary, ....no?
You bet, my own two eyes.
San Diego area. Some of my family is Mexican American.
I'm not some bigot. I just call it like I see it.
all parents have to deal with.
Memo to the pro illegal crowd: close and lock the borders by whatever means necessary, deport the ones here, eliminate the Anchor Baby loophole then maybe us Gringos will consider letting a few in via guest worker programs.
Or; if using Mexico as an example, they can give us-------no strings attached------10% of their territory in return for us giving amnesty for the Mexican illegal immigrants. Nuevo Leon or Baja California would work nicely.
Besides; where is the 'reconquista' rage against Guatemala, etc. for their no longer being a part of Mexico?
Too; Mexico was not truly independent till 1867 when the French left which was after the Mexican-American War.
Final point; if the MEChA and friends are so 'Mexica' loving, what about kicking out those Latinos of Spanish lineage--------and, banning the use of Spanish?
No boys and girls; it all comes down to the money---------race and ethnicity both take a back seat here.
Please provide credible sources to back up your claims.
After you, andreabeth, ....otherwise look it up.

The Nevrorthidae (often incorrectly spelled "Neurorthidae") are a small family of winged insects of the order Neuroptera. Extant species may be described as living fossils. There are 19 extant species in four genera, with a geographically disjunct distribution: Nevrorthus, comprising 5 species with scattered distributions around the Mediterranean; Austroneurorthus, with two species known from southeastern Australia; Nipponeurorthus, comprising 11 species known from China and Japan; and Sinoneurorthus, known from a single species described from Yunnan Province, China. They are traditionally placed in the Osmyloidea, alongside Osmylidae and the spongillaflies (Sisyridae), but some research has considered them to be the sister group to the rest of Neuroptera. The larvae have unique straight jaws that are curved at the tips, and live as unspecialised predators in the sandy bottom sediments of clear, fast flowing mountain rivers and streams. They pupate underwater on the underside of stones. The adults are likely predators or feed on honeydew and other sugar-rich fluids.

Apart from the mere four living genera, several species are known from fossils, the oldest being a larvae from the Middle Jurassic of China, which already shows aquatic adaptations typical of modern nevorthid larvae.

UA assistant basketball coach suspended, charged in bribery scheme
September 26, 2017 at 4:00 PM MST - Updated August 8 at 7:59 PM
NEW YORK (AP) - In one of the biggest crackdowns on the corrupting role of money in college basketball, 10 men - including University of Arizona assistant basketball coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson - were charged Tuesday, Sept. 26, with using bribes to influence star athletes' choice of schools, shoe sponsors, agents, financial advisers, even tailors.
UA said Richardson, who is facing charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, solicitation of bribes by an agent of a federally funded organization, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and travel act conspiracy, has been suspended and the school will cooperate with authorities.
"We were made aware of the Department of Justice's investigation this morning and we are cooperating fully with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office," the school said in a news release.
University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins has released an official statement on the status of Emanuel Richardson, who was implicated Tuesday, Sept. 26 in the FBI's basketball investigation:
"I have directed the University of Arizona to initiate an independent investigation into the alleged actions of Emanuel Richardson and to retain an external law firm to conduct the investigation.
We also have reviewed the specific factual allegations in the criminal complaint and have initiated the dismissal process against Mr. Richardson.
The University of Arizona expects everyone who is part of our campus community to adhere to the highest ethical standards of behavior. Arizona Athletics has a strong culture of compliance that begins at the top and extends throughout the organization. Specifically, the athletics department has a documented history of strengthening institutional control by being proactive and comprehensive through rules education and program monitoring."
UA also postponed its basketball media day, which was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 27.
The four assistant coaches charged were identified as Richardson, Chuck Person of Auburn University, Tony Bland of the University of Southern California and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State.
Prosecutors said Richardson was paid a total of $20,000 in bribes, some of which he kept for himself and some of which he gave to at least one high school athlete to get him to play for Arizona.
According to the FBI, Richardson received $5,000 on June 20, 2017 while in Manhattan, N.Y. , and $15,000 one month later while in New Jersey.
"We were appalled to learn of the allegations as they do not reflect the standards we hold ourselves to and require from our colleagues," UA said in a news release. "The University of Arizona has a strong culture of compliance and the expectation is we follow the rules."
Some of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes went to athletes and their families, none of whom were identified by name in court papers. Some of the money went to the coaches, to get them to use their considerable sway over their potentially NBA-bound players, federal prosecutors said.
"The picture of college basketball painted by the charges is not a pretty one," acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said. "Coaches at some of the nation's top programs taking cash bribes, managers and advisers circling blue-chip prospects like coyotes, and employees of a global sportswear company funneling cash to families of high school recruits."The others charged were James Gatto, director of global sports marketing for basketball at Adidas; Rashan Michel, a maker of custom suits for some of the NBA's biggest stars; and various advisers and managers.
Most if not all of the 10 defendants were under arrest. Gatto's lawyer did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. It was not clear who would represent the coaches.
US v Lamont Evans Et Al Complaint by Tucson News Now on Scribd
Since 2015, the FBI has been investigating the influence of money on coaches and players in the NCAA. Kim noted that a special FBI hotline has been set up and invited anyone aware of additional corruption to come forward.
Prosecutors said the coaches took bribes to use their "enormous influence" steer players toward certain financial advisers and agents.
Adidas said it was unaware of any misconduct by an employee and vowed to fully cooperate with authorities.
Among other things, Gatto and others were accused of bribing high school athletes and their families at least three times this year in exchange for a commitment by the players to play basketball for two Adidas-sponsored universities not identified in court papers.
Arizona athletics are sponsored by Nike.
Court papers portrayed the universities as victims of the schemes, saying they paid out financial aid after their coaches falsely assured them they were unaware of any rules violations.
The investigation began after a financial adviser who ran a firm that catered to pro athletes began cooperating in 2014, providing information corroborated by recorded conversations and surveillance, authorities said.

Warren Martin Coulton, 52, tied Claire Wright, 38, up and put a sock in her mouth during the bondage session.
And so I was, I was really optimistic that this year was going to be the year. And now that there's just no year at all, like, you know, there's a lot of uncertainty. We don't know what's going to happen next year. The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot, and need to talk about more.
MH: I would just throw my baseballs at the net, go pick them up, and then scoot back and throw them again. Minor League Baseball was cancelled this year, but Mitch still needed to stay in shape. MH: All of the gyms were closed, so I actually went to Home Depot, which was one of the only places that was open, and bought a bunch of concrete and flowerpots.
MH: And fastened my own set of weights. And I basically, I was mixing concrete on the, on my driveway and, you know, with, with like rubber gloves on, and I sex to the death game the concrete into the flower pots to let it dry. And basically made these homemade 45 pound plates. I have four of them. AS: So did you figure this out, you're just like cruising around a Home Depot with a cart and like, what am I going to use?
Like what - [laughs]. MH: I was probably slated for AAA baseball this year, um, which is the closest level to the big leagues. Mitch was ed to the Twins on a free agent contract — his first, since being drafted after his junior year of college. MH: It's a, it's a huge problem in baseball. You know, the minor league salaries are really, really low, you know, the contract that everybody s out of the draft is a seven year contract.
MH: Yeah. And so the only way to get out of that is either to get released or to basically get called, get to the big leagues and get onto a major league contract. But, so I knew, I knew that the wages were going to be bad, but, uh, there's, you know, the, the very widely held belief among Minor League Baseball players, especially the ones that are just ing. Um, you know, it's like, it'll only take me a couple of years to get to the big leagues.
So I'll just live off my ing bonus and everything's going to be okay. AS: How did you think about how much money you were going to earn after that ing bonus? When you're becoming a minor league baseball player? MH: So, so I ed — this, this is public information — I ed in the ninth round in for a hundred thousand dollars. After taxes it came out to be like 70 something.
MH: It's a good chunk of money. I got, I didn't get it all at once either. I got it over the course of a year and a half.
So, um, but I did get that money and I knew that, you know, beside that ing bonus, the salaries, the wages in, in minor league baseball were ridiculously low. You only get paid during the season. And before you know, it, you know, you're in the minor leagues for year after year after year.
And at certain point, you know, you, haven't made a reasonable income for, you know, five, six, seven years.
German traveller to be tried over 'sex game' death of british heiress anna reed, 22
And you look back and you're like, wow, I wish I wish that things weren't like this. MH: So I didn't do anything with it, honestly. I, the only thing that I bought was, uh, uh, a few books on investing. So I, I learned how to, I learned how to invest. Like, it can go pretty quick if you don't save it the way you should. AS: I want to move ahead to you're like four or five years into your contract.
Um, like we're very creative, um, when it comes to saving money, at least most of us are.
Half of men who claimed lover's death was sex game gone wrong get 'soft' sentence
The ones that, that don't have, you know, the million dollar ing bonuses. The way I have played it, um, every season is that I try to break even, while, like during the season, while I'm playing. So, I mean, it's not a lot of money.
MH: But you know, when you're working every day, it's not, you don't really have a whole lot to spend your money on besides food, food and shelter, basically.
This last off season, I had an apartment with another baseball player and you know, of course we weren't getting paid in the off season. You know, we were working, you know, side jobs and trying to make ends meet the best we could, but we furnished our whole apartment on Craigslist free. So, you know, we just collected it from all over the city, in Denver, from different people. And then at the end of the off season, we were able to sell some of it, um, and make a little bit of money back. AS: Can you tell me a little bit more about what that apartment looked like when it was fully furnished with free stuff from Craigslist?
What were the items? MH: It was, it was a, it was a hodgepodge of stuff. Um, we had, you know, I found these really old, dirty, um, like, like bar chairs that this guy gave me for free. My roommate, and I went to go pick up this powered reclining chair, um, that this, that this, this guy had. He was, it was an year-old guy and he was trying to sell it, but he couldn't get it out of his apartment.
But they couldn't lift it out of his, out of his house. And so finally he gave up and agreed to give it to us for free.
Your data. your experience.
Um, only if we could lift it out of his apartment. So, we went over to his house and we were able to lift it.
Um, but it was not an easy, easy task. Actually, that was the only piece of furniture we had was that couch. AS: So since you ed, how many, how many different cities and apartments have you lived in? MH: Oh my God. So many. Um, yeah, so, I mean, since my career started, I've lived in Maryland. Um, the way - the nature of Minor League Baseball is such that you need to be able to get up and go at any time.
And I wasn't pitching very well at all. It was a really tough, tough spot in my career, but, you know, I had an apartment in Albuquerque. And I wasn't pitching very well. And the Rockies organization decided to send me to Hartford, um, in like the middle of May. And I got, I got the news that I was go- I was being demoted during the middle of a road trip. So I was in Tacoma, Washington, you know, with a suitcase for, you know, a seven day road trip.
And they sent me to Hartford with just my suitcase and I never, I never went back to Albuquerque, um, to clean up my apartment. My brother had to do it for me.
MH: Yeah, pretty much. I mean, they, they all understand, you know, the nature of - the nature of the game. I mean, so it's a crazy business. I mean, you gotta be able to get up and go at a moment's notice. And you might stay there the whole summer.
You might be there for three days. You really just don't know. AS: Yeah. I want to understand, so your seven years - you did your seven year commitment and then this season was supposed to be a one year free agent contract with the Twins.
AS: Okay. Is it like you feel like, [sigh of relief], enough money that you can feel like you can buy furniture for yourself? MH: Absolutely. It's it's, it's not, I mean, it's, I - and by all means I wasn't gonna get rich, but, um, it was definitely like it was a, it was a comfortable, a comfortable wage, um, you know, to support myself the whole year. And so I, I would only, I'd still only be paid during the season, but it was enough money to comfortably support myself, you know, as a year-old, you know, the whole year round.
MH: Yes. And so, and, and it's, um, it - what really sucks is I had that contract and it was ed and executed. However, the, the Twins are not honoring it. Um, since the season is canceled, um, they, they, they don't feel as though they they're obligated to pay me that salary, which has been very frustrating in and of itself.
I don't know if all teams are still doing it. Um, so it is something, but it's, it's a, it's a long shot from what I was, uh, what I was expecting.

Q: Performance characteristics of SortedSet I want to keep items in a list that is sorted for quick access. Addition/retrieval performance is important, but I can't find any information on performance characteristics for SortedSet: https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections/performance-characteristics.html
Is SortedSet the optimal class to use for speedy addition/retrieval when my items are sorted?

A: The default implementation of SortedSet in Scala 2.12 uses a TreeSet:
scala> val s = scala.collection.SortedSet(3, 5, 1)
s: scala.collection.SortedSet[Int] = TreeSet(1, 3, 5)

Internally, a TreeSet is implemented using a Red-black tree. This means that both search and insertion operations will be in O(log(n)). If this is "speedy" enough really depends on the characteristics of your application, in which I don't know enough to supply a broader answer.
For more details on collection performance, this blog post by Li Haoyi is a great place to start

Development, Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization of a Novel Inland Desalination with Zero Liquid Discharge for Brackish Groundwaters
Elsaid_Khaled.pdf (2.235Mb)
Elsaid, Khaled
Groundwater is considered the major source of domestic water supply in many countries worldwide. In the absence of surface water supplies, the use of groundwater for domestic, agricultural, and even for industrial purposes becomes essential, especially in rural communities. Groundwater supplies typically are of good quality, and the quality is reasonably uniform throughout the year compared to that of surface water, thus making it suitable for direct use, or simple to treat. A disadvantage of groundwater is the content of dissolved salt as many have a moderate-to-high salinity. The high salinity makes water brackish and thus it requires desalination before use. This has led to wide use of groundwater desalination to produce good-quality water in many regions around the world. Nevertheless, a problem of desalination processes is the generation of a concentrate stream, sometimes called brine or reject, which must be properly managed. The management of brine from brackish groundwater desalination is a significant issue if located far from the coast (i.e. inland plants) or far from public channel to discharge such brine. Some options for brine disposal from inland desalination plants are evaporation ponds, deep-well injection, disposal to municipal sewers, and irrigation of plants tolerant to high salinities. Each of these disposal methods may result in many environmental problems such as groundwater contamination, the decline in crop yields from agricultural lands, the formation of eyesores, decreasing the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment, and making treated sewage effluent unsuitable for irrigation. As a result, the brine management from inland desalination of brackish groundwater is very critical, and the need for affordable and environmentally benign inland desalination has become crucial in many regions worldwide. This work aims to develop an efficient and environmentally benign process for inland desalination of brackish groundwater, which approaches zero liquid discharge (ZLD), maximizing the water produced and minimizing the volume of concentrate effluent. The technical approach involves utilization of two-stage reverse osmosis (RO) units with the intermediate chemical treatment of brine stream that is designed to remove most of the scale-forming constituents, which foul membrane surface in RO and limits its water recovery and hence enable further recovery of water in the secondary RO unit. The treatment process proposed in this work is based on advanced lime softening processes, which have the ability to effectively remove scale-forming constituents, in addition to heavy metals and natural organic matters that might be present in the brine. The process has been applied to the brine produced from 1st stage RO i.e. primary brine stream, to minimize the volume of the stream to be treated chemically, which in turn reduces the capacity of the treatment equipment. Analysis of groundwater quality and scale-forming constituents that are present in the brine stream upon desalination of groundwater has been performed. The analysis has revealed that in most cases of brackish groundwater desalination the recovery is limited by scaling due to calcium sulfate i.e. gypsum, and amorphous silica. Thus, the main objective set for the chemical treatment of the brine stream focused on removal of calcium, sulfate, and silica. Advanced lime softening based on high lime doses along with sodium aluminate, as in ultra-high lime with alumina UHLA process, has been proposed for chemical treatment of brine. Bench-scale experiments conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed chemical treatment for removal of scale-forming constituents, particularly calcium, sulfate, and silica by studying the different factors affecting the removals efficiency from synthetic solutions containing sulfate-only, silica-only, and model brine solution. The results obtained have revealed that the proposed process was very effective and results generally in high and quick removals of calcium, sulfate, and silica of more than 80% within 2 hrs under different experimental conditions. In addition, beneficial uses of different solid byproducts formed are investigated, by analyzing the solids resulted to qualitatively and quantitatively to identify the different solids present. This offers the potential to lower both costs and solid disposal problems of solids formed being considered as added value product rather than solid waste that has to be properly managed. Results have shown that the solid precipitate contains a wide range of solids that generally composed of calcium, magnesium, aluminum along with carbonate, sulfate, and silicate, which have several potential applications as soil sub-grade, and in cement industry. Equilibrium model to simulate the chemical treatment process that is able to predict the required chemical reagents doses, effluent water quality for a given influent water quality and treatment levels has been developed utilizing OLI stream analyzer, the developed model was found to well predict the performance of the chemical treatment at equilibrium conditions. Rigorous membrane separation model has developed in Aspen Custom Modeler to more accurately model RO desalination, which is to be combined with the developed equilibrium model to formulate a complete 1st Stage RO–Chemical Treatment–2nd Stage RO process model. The developed complete and validated model has been then used to fully and accurately simulate the performance of the proposed Zero Liquid Discharge desalination process. The present work results in three novel achievements: first, introducing a very effective intermediate chemical treatment, which efficiently remove sulfate, particularly from brine. Most of the previously proposed intermediate treatment processes remove sulfate as calcium sulfate i.e. gypsum, however in the introduced process, sulfate is removed in calcium-aluminum-sulfate complexes, which has very low solubility, making the brine highly undersaturated with respect to gypsum, and hence lowering the fouling propensity in the secondary RO, leading to maximizing the overall recovery. In addition, the chemical treatment has been successfully modeled for better simulate of its performance for different brine qualities, which are usually encountered in brackish ground desalination due to the high location-specific nature of groundwater quality. Second, the developed membrane model has treated the species present in water as ions, accounting for monovalent and divalent ions separately, and obtaining a different permeability coefficient for their transport through the membrane. This is different from most developed RO models, which simplify the transport through the membranes to only water and salt permeability coefficients. This treatment results in better and more refined modeling and simulation of the RO membrane separation, as the RO membrane interact differently to ions present in water. Third, the complete process model, results from combining the developed equilibrium model of the chemical treatment, and membrane separation model, has revealed very promising results of achieving high recovery desalination of about 93.5% suitable for drinking water purposes, which is higher by about 90% than most of the reported literature, whose result in reducing the brine volume from 25% in conventional desalination to only 6.5% in the proposed process, i.e. brine volume reduction of 74% relative to conventional inland desalination, and 35% relative to other high recovery processes, at reasonable chemical treatment levels.

Sen. Maroney Sends Letter to the State's Attorney Regarding Controversial Plea Agreement in Violent Assault
HARTFORD, CT – Today, state Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) and state Representatives Kim Rose (D-Milford), Kathy Kennedy (R-Milford) and Charles Ferraro (R-Milford) sent a letter to the office of the Milford State's Attorney in regards to a controversial plea deal in the case of a violent assault of a Milford woman. In the letter, the legislators lay out several severe concerns with the court's handling of this case, specifically the capped sentence for the crime committed.
On March 9, 2019, a Milford woman was violently attacked. Her attacker was originally charged with assault in the first degree, disorderly conduct, tampering with evidence and strangulation.
In the letter, the legislators express their concerns about, and opposition to, the plea deal, "the judge states that the offer that he has made, '… is eight years, suspended after two years to serve, three years probation as a cap, with a floor, which could be a fully suspended sentence.' Transcript, 10/30/19 p.7 (emphasis provided). The lawmakers go on to explain in the letter that, "this capped sentence, with the possibility of the assailant walking free on the very day of the sentencing hearing, does not reflect the values of this community. Moreover, it may serve to further victimize the innocent victim of a horrific crime."
Lawmakers point out that, "the plea agreement seems to have been proposed by the judge, at a judicial pre-trial. The plea offer seems to have occurred on the same day it was entered on the record, October, 30. The judicial website indicates this was the 10th time the case appeared on the court's docket. According to the letter, the legislators express concern over "why the plea had to be accepted with such urgency, without affording the victim the opportunity to speak on the record – and personally express what were apparently going to be her strong objections – before the plea was offered and accepted."
They also point out in the letter that, due to the capped sentence, "It appears likely that the victim is actually being given no meaningful opportunity to affect the sentence at the January 8th hearing. Because your office agreed to a capped plea agreement, it appears the sentence can only go down, to being fully suspended as of January 8 with the attacker possibly going free that very day." In the letter, they say they "fail to understand why the plea went forward on October 30 without giving the victim her right to appear at a later date, on the record, before the plea was formally offered, accepted and entered."
According to the letter, at the plea hearing the judge stated to the defendant in open court, "I will review the Pre-Sentence Investigative Report, hear from the complainant victim on this matter, hear from the State, your attorney, and obviously, hear from you, before I determine ultimately what the appropriate sentence will be. But the cap is eight years, suspended after two years to serve, three years' probation..." Transcript, p.7 (emphasis added.)
The legislators state in the letter, "Unacceptably, the judge's claim to 'hear from the complainant victim' would seem ultimately to ring hollow if there exists no way the victim's narration of her feelings and fear and suffering, no matter how eloquent, poignant, sad, angry or forgiving, can have the effect of eliminating the cap on the agreed sentence."
They close the letter by urging the Milford's State's Attorney to, "take whatever actions are necessary and possible to prevent this unjust outcome to a horrifically violent, and confessed to, assault that has been perpetrated on a vulnerable member of our community." See the full letter below and attached.

Margaret E. Kelley, State's Attorney
Ansonia-Milford J.D.
14 West River St.
State v. Molleur, A22M-CR18-0097422-S, and AAN-CR19-0115131-T
Dear Attorney Kelley,
These two pending matters have been brought to our attention by a constituent, who is the brother of the victim of horrendously violent crimes in the second case referenced above, wherein the defendant was found guilty of two felonies. The Court accepted his guilty pleas on October 30, 2019 to a substitute information in which the charges were assault in the second degree and unlawful restraint, first degree. Reportedly the original charge of assault in the first degree was reduced to the lesser charge of assault in the second degree, and the charges of disorderly conduct, tampering with evidence and strangulation or suffocation in the first degree were dropped.
With regard to the penalty provisions of the plea deal, they are to us, frankly, too lenient given the depravity of the assault to which the defendant admitted. We have reviewed the transcript of the defendant's guilty pleas, wherein the judge states that the offer that he has made, "… is eight years, suspended after two years to serve, three years probation as a cap, with a floor, which could be a fully suspended sentence." Transcript, 10/30/19 p.7 (emphasis provided). This capped sentence, with the possibility of the assailant walking free on the very day of the sentencing hearing, in our opinion, does not reflect the values of this community. Moreover, in our opinion, it may serve to further victimize the innocent victim of a horrific crime.
We also feel that the circumstances surrounding the guilty plea have also served to contribute to this further victimization. Our review of the October 30, 2019 transcript raises many concerns.
First, the plea agreement seems to have been proposed by the judge, at what we believe might be called a judicial pre-trial. The plea offer seems to have occurred on the same day it was entered on the record, October, 30th. The judicial website indicates this was the 10th time the case appeared on the court's docket. We don't understand why the plea had to be accepted with such urgency, without affording the victim the opportunity to speak on the record – and personally express what were apparently going to be her strong objections -- before the plea was offered and accepted.
Second, in that regard, it is deeply troubling to us that the victim was only informed of the proposed plea on the very morning of the already scheduled court hearing where it was going to be accepted. The assistant state's attorney advised the court he had spoken to the victim that morning and "As predicted, she's unhappy with the disposition. She feels it's lenient. She—there was some sobbing on the phone…" Transcript, 10/30/19 p.5. The Connecticut Constitution, let alone our statutes, appears to afford victims "…the right to object to or support any plea agreement entered into by the accused and the prosecution and to make a statement to the court prior to the acceptance by the court of the plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the accused…" Connecticut Constitution, Art. XIX (emphasis added.)
Third, we are concerned that your office agreed to a plea with a capped sentence being accepted in court immediately after relating the proposal to the unhappy victim. By the assistant state's attorney's words quoted above, the victim's anticipated objection apparently had already been discussed among him, the defendant's attorney and the judge and all "predicted" her disapproval. We fail to understand why the plea went forward on October 30 without giving the victim her right to appear at a later date, on the record, before the plea was formally offered, accepted and entered.
Fourth, it appears likely to us that the victim is actually being given no meaningful opportunity to affect the sentence at the January 8th hearing. Because your office agreed to a capped plea agreement, it appears the sentence can only go down, to being fully suspended as of January 8th with the attacker possibly going free that very day.
In this regard, at the plea hearing, the judge stated to the defendant in open court, "I will review the Pre-Sentence Investigative Report, hear from the complainant victim on this matter, hear from the State, your attorney, and obviously, hear from you, before I determine ultimately what the appropriate sentence will be. But the cap is eight years, suspended after two years to serve, three years' probation..." Transcript, p.7 (emphasis added.) Unacceptably, the judge's claim to "hear from the complainant victim" would seem ultimately to ring hollow if there exists no way the victim's narration of her feelings and fear and suffering, no matter how eloquent, poignant, sad, angry or forgiving, can have the effect of eliminating the cap on the agreed sentence.
Fifth, we are concerned that by report, the judge and state's attorney at the arraignment (there was a different judge at the arraignment than the plea hearing, and there also apparently was a different prosecutor) seemed to express much greater outrage to the defendant and confidence in the strength of the state's case, resulting in a very substantial bond. That judge was quoted as saying to the attacker "I just want to say, Mr. Molleur, the allegations are sickening. Right now I'm having a hard time breathing based on what I've read". She then reportedly upped the bond to $350,000. Also, during the arraignment, it was reported that the prosecutor called it a "brutal assault", and said "the state has a very strong case." Indeed, horrifying pictures of the injuries that had been inflicted on the victim were in the file; also, the defendant had apparently confessed.
Sixth, we are concerned that your office appears to have chosen not to substitute a charge of assault of a disabled person pursuant to section 53a-59a of the general statutes, especially given the reported circumstances of this case. We understand that the police did not charge that crime at the outset, but believe your office had the ability to add that charge. Significantly, that crime carries with it a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. In the transcript of the October 30 hearing, the assistant state's attorney declared, when relating his conversation with the victim, "I explained to her that, as I told her when I met her in person, that there are no mandatory minimums here." Transcipt, pp 5,6
Seventh, and finally for now, we are concerned that there is also a second, separate case pending against this defendant; the first case cited above. That case has appeared 17 times on the G.A.'s docket and is listed on the website as "awaiting disposition" on January 8, 2020, the same date as the instant case. Reports of the allegations in that case are also very troubling; in our opinion it was a criminal step along the way to the frightening violence in the latter case. During the plea hearing, the assistant state's attorney declared, when relating his conversation with the victim, "I explained to her that…certainly, under the circumstances, there's no prior criminal record for Mr. Molleur, and this was a potential disposition." Transcript, pp.5, 6. However, this seems somewhat misleading to the victim in the assault case, given that other charges were and are still pending. Is seems highly unusual that a subsequent, very violent case with serious injuries would be resolved when a case of the nature of the prior G.A. one is still pending.
Moreover, it seems very odd to us that this separate pending case was literally ignored in the October 30 plea agreement hearing, as well as apparently in your office's interactions with the victim in the instant case. While it is unclear based on the record whether a plea agreement has been reached in that case, as well, it seems coincidental at least that both may be scheduled for "disposition" on the same day. If in fact an agreement has been reached in that case as well, that would lead to additional concerns about whether the rights of the victim in that separate case have been adequately protected.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. Given the length of and troubling circumstances surrounding the plea deal discussed herein, we strongly urge you to take whatever actions are necessary and possible to prevent this unjust outcome to a horrifically violent, and confessed to, assault that has been perpetrated on a vulnerable member of our community.

Our best asset for the future is a stronger EU, say ministers
European Union – White Paper – Joint communiqué issued by M. Jean-Marc Ayrault, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, and Mr Sigmar Gabriel, German Minister of Foreign Affairs¹
Paris, 1 March 2017
The Foreign Ministers of France and Germany welcome the "White paper on the future of the European Union" presented today by the President of the European Commission.
The White Paper of the European Commission, consistent with the "State of the European Union" speech by President Juncker on 14 September 2016, is an important and valuable contribution to the broader discussion on the future of Europe, its project and its functioning, in the run-up to the 60th anniversary of the Rome treaties on 25 March. It directly echoes the dynamics that have been launched since Bratislava and that was continued in Valetta, which aimed at reaching clear and concrete results to the benefit of European citizens.
As threats are growing, both internally and externally, Germany and France share the same conviction: our best protection and our best asset for the future is a stronger European Union.
We must further concentrate the EU's activities on today's main challenges: strengthening the EU's role as a foreign policy actor in the neighbourhood and on the global scale; ensuring the security of our citizens in the face of growing external and internal threats including through the EU's defence policy; establishing a stable and cooperative framework to deal with migration and refugee flows; boost the European economy through promoting the convergence of our economies and European-oriented investment while reinforcing the European social market economy, a sustainable and job-creating growth and advancing towards the completion of the European Monetary Union.
Given the huge challenges Europe is facing, we are firmly convinced that we should not scale back our ambition regarding the European project. The EU is much more than a single market. It is based on a fundament of common values, solidarity and the rule of law. We recognize that today's challenges require a better European Union. Sharing these convictions gives us a historical responsibility to constantly improve the functioning of our Union and the protection of our common values and principles. The Commission's options to foster new ways to act more efficiently will be very useful in this perspective. While not stepping back from what we have achieved, we also have to find better ways of dealing with different levels of ambition amongst member states so as to ensure that Europe delivers better on the expectations of all European citizens.
The Rome Summit on 25 March will be a unique opportunity to give a new impetus to the EU by addressing the challenges ahead. Both Germany and France are deeply committed to the success of this process./.
