Thank you so much. So, how is everyone? How are you all feeling? A little pulse check. Tired? Yeah. Just take a moment. It's super intense. So, thanks so much for coming to my session. My name is Carrie Jordan. I'm the Executive Director for the Carpentries. And what I'm going to do is introduce... Can I borrow some? Don't know if that's the seat though. So, what I'm going to do is introduce a tool that the Carpentries launched. And it's called the Toolkit of Ideas. And I'm going to introduce it here. And we are going to use it in a couple of different contexts. So, you have the option to go to this URL where there is a collaborative notes document. If you don't have a computer or your phone on you, that's totally fine. We can discuss it in the room. But there is space for you to write out your thoughts in this collaborative document. So, I'll pause for one second in case you want to go to the link. God dang it. Give me one second. I thought I'd fix all the permission thingies. Okay. Let me give you access. I'll keep talking while I'm working on the access. So, as I mentioned, in 15 minutes, which doesn't seem like a lot of time, but we can do it, we're going to apply the Carpentries recently published Toolkit of Ideas in a collaborative way to talk about inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility strategies for building the CSV conference community or any other community that you are involved with or any other open source project. So, we're going to use CSV as an example in order to apply this Toolkit. My laptop is connecting to the Internet. So, once it does, I'll refresh the document. If you're not familiar with the Carpentries, we are a nonprofit project that teaches foundational coding and data science skills. So, we have three lesson programs, library, data, and software Carpentries. We've run workshops in 71 countries, and we have a 3,000-plus volunteer instructor community. We develop all of our lessons collaboratively. All of our lessons are on GitHub. You can use them. You can remix them. So, if you want more information about the Carpentries, I have cards here. We have stickers out there, and many of you are instructors and trainers and community members, so thank you so much. So, what is the Toolkit of Ideas? Last year, we received funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to improve our accessibility, inclusion, and diversity resources for the Carpentries. One of the resources that we created is called the Toolkit of Ideas. I've got my laptop working now. Anyone with the link can edit. There we go. Okay, if you refresh, you should have access to the document now. So, we released a Toolkit. Ideas is an acronym for inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility strategies. We wanted to create a very practical resource for our community to help you figure out what do you need to think about before, during, and after a Carpentries workshop in order to make it more inclusive, more equitable, et cetera. We didn't want this to be a 100-page document with all kinds of checklists and steps. We wanted it to be something very practical that you could adapt for your community and your language. So, we wanted it to be very easily to onboard many community members. Before we get into the Toolkit, I want to do a little glossary because this is an international conference. Some of these terms are not used in some places and in some contexts. And so, what do I mean when I say inclusion, et cetera? So, the Carpentries definition of inclusion is the active, intentional, and ongoing engagement of diverse people in communities that increases awareness, content knowledge, and empathetic understanding of the ways that we interact with and change our community. So, basically, that means invite the people to the party and ask them to dance. We've been hearing a lot about people being invited into the room but not having an opportunity to contribute. So, that's what we mean by inclusion. Diversity, we just, when we talk about diversity, it's all of our differences being okay and using our differences in a way that can engage each other in the service of learning. That's what we think about when we say diversity. Equity is creating equal access for individuals to participate in programming. So, no matter who you are, where you're from, what language you speak, you have access to the resources that you need in order to contribute to a project, to a community, et cetera. And then accessibility is designing products and services in a way that is usable by the most people. So, those are just some definitions. And if we have time, maybe at the reception, it will be really cool to understand what do those definitions or what do those terms mean in the different communities that you come from. So, we're going to apply this toolkit of ideas to organize the next CSV conference. Hopefully we'll have a version eight. So, how can we use this toolkit to organize the next CSV conference? So, if you go to the URL, you'll see these same questions. The toolkit is broken down rather than having a checklist in order to be inclusive, you need to do these five things. We all know there's no such thing as a checklist for things like inclusion and diversity, right? So, the toolkit is set up in a question format. So, we're going to practice. These are some of the questions that we have in the toolkit. I want us to discuss these questions in this room. So, the context that we're using is CSV conference version eight. We're all a part of the organizing committee. We want to make the next CSV conference even more inclusive. Here are some questions that we're going to think about. What barriers prevent learners or participants from registering from the conference? How can you ensure data enthusiasts feel that the conference is for them? Where and when will we offer the next CSV conference? And who might not be able to attend the conference because of the choices that we're making? And then lastly, what is one thing that we want to try as a conference organizer in order to make it more inclusive? So, what we're going to do is take the next three minutes. You can either silently in the document, if you have your laptops open, you can silently write out the answers to these questions, or since we love each other so much, you can talk amongst the group that you're sitting next to, pick any of the questions. We only have three minutes, so pick any of the questions that you want to think about and come up with some ideas. Okay? I'm going to time us for three minutes, and then I would love to have one or two volunteers share out what you discussed or what you typed. Okay? Questions? All right. Yes, go. Sorry. We have about a minute and a half. Sorry. I'll never watch this. It's scary. I'm like, don't listen to him. There's so many great ideas. Okay, we have 30 seconds. So decide who's going to report out. I want one person from this side of the room and one person from this side of the room. Okay. Who will volunteer from this side of the room to share one of the answers to a question? Mm-hmm. I'll let Jason go first, and then I'll give you all a chance. So what would be a solution to raising awareness about you all, about the kinds of people that attend CSV comms? Yeah? I would say maybe some kind of small recap. Mm-hmm. This year, so people know, oh, this is what happened last year. Yes. We're hoping people were discussing because that would serve as an elevation. Yeah. I mean, in my case, I actually have to look at all the previous websites for the previous years to get an idea of what exactly we're going to discuss here. Yeah, yeah. And should I apply maybe yes or no? Yes. And the recap could be something super short, like a real or something that you all, we all could share, you know, on different platforms. Mm-hmm. It's like people say, oh, this unit was super cool because X and Y raised it. Exactly. What else? I was going to say, highlight the memorable moments or those moments that stand out for people that might have succeeded. Like when Renato helped me get my llama out of that machine. That was a very vulnerable moment for me. Thank you for sharing that. One person from this side of the room who has the courage. I see all of you just saying, yes. Go ahead. They couldn't write it. No problem. No, why? But among barriers, one significant one, and maybe we should take care about thinking about the next venues for this event, there's a visa restriction. Yes. There are countries with less visa restrictions than others, and that should be taken. You really want to be open for traffic. Mm-hmm. It's not only, but also, you know, high risk events. Yeah. Taking care about the possibilities to interact with people. Yeah. Then trying. Mm-hmm. I mean, sometimes I've been in events where there are, I've been, but there is a differential treatment for people who is in their computers and the ones that have the opportunity to be here. Absolutely. Any recommendations for, yeah, go ahead. Yes. We were actually discussing, yeah. Yeah. I saw that. Absolutely. I saw someone writing in the document something about rotating the regions or something like that so that it's easier for somebody. At some point, we'll be able to get there. I love it. Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. We need money. Yes. Yes. I like watch parties. Yes. Watch parties. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Mm-hmm. I love that idea. Even if it was maybe just the keynotes or something like that, that's a really cool idea. Anything else before I go to the next slide? I know I only have three minutes left. Okay. So, here are some things. So, in the toolkit, we not only pose questions for you to ask yourself how to make your, again, your event, your coding project, whatever you're working on, how to make it more inclusive, equitable, et cetera. We also provide some recommendations. So, for this example that we just gave, some of the recommendations we included were, in the case of an in-person conference, are there gender-neutral bathrooms or are there places where, you know, you can breast or chest feeds to ensure, you know, for those who are parents, they have access to those facilities. Thinking about the snacks in the catering, did you ask what, you know, dietary restrictions individuals have? Things like that. Or just an open-ended question in the registration, what are the ways that we could help you make this, this conference more inclusive? What are some things that we could do to ensure you would feel included in this conference? You can't solve all the problems.  So, some takeaways. This toolkit, again, I haven't linked in the slides and I provided a link in that collaborative notes document. This is what it looks like. It's up on Zenodo. So, of course, open source. It breaks down, again, inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. Those opened into questions that you can ask yourself if you're organizing a conference, a hackathon, a community meeting, or if you want to get more people involved in your open-source project in general and you want it to be more inclusive, more equitable, et cetera. We want you to use this toolkit for any and every case in this community. So, I encourage you to download it. I think we have about 1,600 downloads so far. We've been getting really great feedback and we're going to continue to revise it based on how people are using it. And that is all my time, right? Okay.


Take a look at the Red Sox box score. Mookie Betts leading off went four for four. Bennett, Tendi drove in three runs. Pierce on his historic night had three home runs and six runs batted in. All of these numbers collectively, nine for 24 with runners in scoring position. So Jack, the offense for the Red Sox, just a relentless force tonight. And you look at, you mentioned the word passion at the top, the Yankees now have played two listless games in a row. It's not the way you want to set the template for the next three. That's a great word, Bob. I actually had that word written down here. Listless, lethargic, lackadaisical. The Yankees had one of those games against the Orioles and then they wanted to come out strong against the Red Sox tonight. As we said, send a little message. There's a lot of baseball left, but if you get the first game of this series, you've got Luis Severino going tomorrow.  Instead it was Johnson. And instead the Red Sox were the team that came out with that passion in their home park. The question that Pierce just addressed there about Jackie Bradley Jr. Taking advantage of a Yankee mistake and the Yankees still almost got him at home, but it was that great slide that enabled him to score that run and the Red Sox took off from there. I want to leave you with one stat which Red Sox fans will love. Yankee fans are going to cringe when they hear this. And Steve Pierce's previous 132 plate appearances at Fenway Park, two home runs. Tonight three home runs in one game against the Yankees. So he turned it on in Fenway against the Yankees. So again, his three homers, seven doubles, by the way. That helps get guys around the base pass. But what else does? Something the Red Sox do a lot of over the past couple of years. Steel bases. One.


Field Force Automation FFA is the capture of field sales or service information in real time using communications technology, typically handheld PDAs, wireless devices, tablet PCs or mobile phones. The captured data is transferred immediately to backend systems ERP, CRM or accounting systems through wireless connectivity WIFI, 3G, satellite or GPRS. This instant capture of information reduces time delays, avoids manual double entry data errors and enhances field force productivity. From an operations perspective, availability of field information in near real time allows a business to plant delivery schedules, reduce inventory and monitor and control the field workers. Field Force Automation is seen as beneficial to businesses in regard of customer relations, maintaining skills among the field workforce, and limiting the size of this workforce. The biggest challenge in Field Force Automation is in developing a simple but usable, user interface for the handheld device or mobile, and connectivity at the location of information captured. Connectivity can be overcome by having a system which can retain the information captured in the device cache and later synchronize with backend systems thick client.


Hello, I'm Rachel Zimbary, Chair of the Arlington Redevelopment Board, also known as the ARB, and I will be taking you through more in Article 28 by law amendment related to enhanced business districts for the 2022 annual town meeting. This amendment would apply to properties within the business to business zoning districts and proposals for new development or redevelopment existing commercial spaces with frontage exceeding the dimensional requirements are exempt. In enacting this additional requirement, this would be following local and regional precedent, including applying the expanded requirements described in the site standards section of the industrial zoning district amendments adopted by 2021 Arlington town meeting to business districts, complying with neighborhood based recommendations from the Congress for new urbanism and following standards and examples from other inter-core communities. The purpose of this amendment is to encourage pedestrian activity, maintain an active street and encourage the development of active ground floor uses. This would apply to properties subject to review by the Redevelopment Board with reasonable exemptions, including those applications solely requesting signage approvals. The amendment provides minimum requirements for transparency of ground floor facades visible from the public way, prohibits blank facades in the public right of way by requiring articulation for a minimum of every 30 feet, requires a clearly defined primary entrance that faces the principal street through an accessible surface to the public sidewalk, and requires that lobby entrances for upper store uses be clearly articulated and limited in scale to preserve floor space and facade frontage for active commercial ground floor uses. Through the proposed standards, this amendment will encourage vibrant usage and storefront design in Arlington's business districts. The ARB voted 5 to 0 at our April 4 meeting to recommend favorable action on Article 28. Thank you.


Nine Saint Lucians have gotten opportunities to study medicine in Taiwan, whilst another nine have been awarded Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs MOFA Scholarships. Eleven other Saint Lucians also got the nod to study in the Asian country under the International Cooperation and Development Fund ICDF Scholarship Award. Whilst congratulating recipients, Taiwanese Ambassador to Saint Lucia, his Excellency Peter Shen says the 29 awardees now pursuing higher education in Taiwan set up a sound platform that will further strengthen relations between Saint Lucia and his country Taiwan. Ambassador Shen says interest in Taiwan's scholarships has increased sharply over the years, making competition for awards intense because of the high quality of candidates from different countries. Taiwan Scholarship Program was established from 2007, so since then hundreds of students already awarded scholarships and studied in Taiwan, and the fields are quite diverse including agriculture, information, business and engineering. So we really glad that so many good Saint Lucians students have learned and they have enjoyed their study in Taiwan. Minister for Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training Honorable Sean Edward emphasized the importance for the scholarship recipients to make the best use of the opportunities afforded them. He told Scholarship Awardees that even Taiwan has had to make serious adjustments because of the COVID-19 pandemic but is nonetheless still contributing to the national development of Saint Lucia. And in spite of making their own national domestic adjustments, they still were able to find resources to make scholarships available to the young people of Saint Lucia. And this is not a main feat and this is something we appreciate sincerely Ambassador. And for us it has a lot of significance as a government. Saint Lucia is not one of the most developed countries in the world. We don't have mineral resources to boost up, but we are required to survive and thrive in a very competitive world. Parliamentary Secretary Senator Honorable Dr. Pauline Antoine Prosper also praised Taiwan for its over 20-year relationship in providing opportunities to young Saint Lucians to further their studies. She told Awardees to expect challenges whilst in Taiwan. However, she encouraged them to be resolved to rise above those challenges in order to succeed in their chosen paths. You will miss home. That's normal. You will miss home. You will miss your family. And some of your parents are spoiled. You will miss them. You have to grow up now. You have to be independent. You have to understand that you have to survive on your own. There are so many more Saint Lucians up there and you are going so you can form your partnerships. You ensure that you engage with one another. Support one another. Be there for each other. Taiwan Scholarship Alumni as well as students currently pursuing studies in the Asian nation who are also on hand to provide support to the new batch of scholarship recipients. From the Communications Unit of the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, I am Chris Satney reporting.


Welcome to emergency medicine video. In this video, we will discuss ectopic pregnancy. We will focus on the diagnosis and treatment in the emergency department. Ectopic pregnancy refers to any pregnancy that is implanted outside the uterus. Most of these will be in the fallopian tubes. As you can see, there is limited space in the fallopian tube. As the pregnancy keeps growing, at some point, it ruptures. The patient then bleeds into the pelvis and can quickly lose a lot of blood. Because of that, ectopic pregnancy is a cannot miss diagnosis in the emergency department. Who should we worry about ectopic pregnancy? There are a few risk factors that we might be able to gain from history. As a general rule, anything that disrupts the transport of the egg into the uterus will increase the risk of it being fertilized in the tube. Therefore, the risk factor includes any scarring of the tube from surgery, a previous pelvic inflammatory disease and a previous ectopic pregnancy with or without surgery, use of an internal uterine device. Even though the patient is less likely to get pregnant, if they get pregnant, the chance of an ectopic pregnancy is much higher. And patients on fertility treatment, just because they're more likely to have multiple fertilized eggs at the same time. Those are the questions you want to elicit on history. Keep in mind that even patients without risk factor can also have ectopic pregnancy. Let's move on to presentation. In the classic presentation, patients should be in the first stages of pregnancy. They should present with one-sided abdominal pain that's usually in the lower area. They might present with some vaginal bleeding. If they have ruptured due to the blood loss of the pelvis, they might also present with syncope. If the patient presents with these four presentations, you really want to think that the patient has a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. However, some patients can be tricky. As you know, patients don't often present in a classic way. This is how they might differ from the textbook description. First, early stages of pregnancy. Often patients may not know that they're pregnant. The fact that their menses was or is on time does not rule out an early pregnancy. You definitely want to do a pregnancy test to confirm. What about abdominal pain? While patients sometimes have pain with an ectopic pregnancy, not everyone have pain, especially if they're not ruptured. Also, not everybody's pain is localized to one side. It might be mid-light, and it might be mild or moderate, not severe. Even on physical examination, the tenderness might be mild as well. What about syncope? As you can imagine, patients may not have a syncopal episode if the ectopic has not ruptured. Syncope is a very late finding that suggests massive blood loss. Therefore, you do not want to wait for this. To summarize what we have so far, in history, we're going to ask about the risk factors in previous obstetric and gynecological history. In terms of physical, we want to do a physical and a pelvic exam to rule out other pathology, such as any GI causes for pain, GU causes including renal colic, pilonophritis, UTI, or a simple appendicitis. Next, we'll move on to investigations. As you can imagine, one of the first tests we like to know is whether the patient is pregnant or not. Any women of child-bearing age with any abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding or a syncope needs to have a pregnancy test done. The fastest way to do this is a urine-beta-HCG test. The urine-beta-HCG should be positive 8-10 days after conception, unless the urine is very diluted. If this is positive, and we have a strong suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy, particularly if she is hypotensive, we need to move her quickly into a monitor area and start resuscitation. We'll want to hook her up to the cardiac monitor and start two large variety. If she is hypotensive, 1-2 liters of saline will be given and we keep checking her vital signs. If it does not normalize, blood might be needed. Once we start to stabilize the hypotensive and stable patient, we can start to do other blood work. That includes a quantitative serum-HCG test that will give you the number of the HCG level, a CPC to check for hemoglobin, and a type in screen to find out the patient's blood type. What about diagnosis? We first use a bedside ultrasound to help us. On the bedside ultrasound, the first thing we look for is free fluid in the abdomen. If there is free fluid in the abdomen, that means the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured, and we're now seeing the blood that's freely flowing in the abdomen. We need to call the specialist right away. In this ultrasound image, you can see the free fluid in Morrison's pouch between the liver and the kidney. What about if you still have a hypotensive patient but the ultrasound does not show free fluid? If your index of suspicion is high, we will still call the obstetrician right away because sometimes the ultrasound might be falsely negative if there is not a lot of free fluid collected yet. Just to recap, if there is a patient in her first trimester pregnancy that you're worrying about, an ectopic, either the presence of free fluid on an ultrasound or an unstable patient should prompt a phone call to the consultant. In other words, unstable patient, contact consultant, stable patient with free fluid on the bedside ultrasound, also contact consultant. What about the stable patient who has no free fluid on the bedside ultrasound? Our question now becomes, is there an interuterine pregnancy on the ultrasound? It can either be done at the bedside by qualified physicians or in the radiology department. Based on the results of this ultrasound, there can be two outcomes. Either there is yes, there is an interuterine pregnancy, or no interuterine pregnancy is seen. Let's go through those. In this patient, we can see an interuterine pregnancy in the uterus. In a patient who is not undergoing fertility treatment, the presence of an interuterine pregnancy significantly decrease the risk of ectopic pregnancy. In patients with fertility treatment, because there could be multiple gestations that are formed, the presence of an interuterine pregnancy does not rule out an ectopic pregnancy. In a patient who is not undergoing fertility treatment, the presence of this interuterine pregnancy is very reassuring to us. If the patients remain stable, they can likely go home and follow up with their own doctor. What about in the patient who is stable, who does not have free fluid on the bedside ultrasound? However, on focus screening, there is no interuterine pregnancy that is seen. What does that mean? It can mean still that there is a non-rupture ectopic pregnancy because the patient is stable and there is no free fluid in the bedside ultrasound. Or this is simply a very early interuterine pregnancy that we're just too early to pick up on the ultrasound. How do we sort that out? We're going to use the quantitative beta that we get from the serum to help us. A transvaginal ultrasound should be able to pick up an interuterine pregnancy if the beta HCG is over 2,000. So if the beta HCG in this patient is more than 2,000 and you have not been able to see an interuterine pregnancy on transvaginal ultrasound, we have to assume that the pregnancy is somewhere else and therefore we're worried about ectopic. Often what we do is we have the ultrasoundographer try to sweep in the anexa to see if they see something that is suggestive of an ectopic pregnancy, so masses in the anexa. What if it's less than 2,000 and we don't see any interuterine pregnancy because we don't expect to see it? Now if there is any worrisome things on the ultrasound like an exo masses, we will still be worried about an ectopic. However, if we don't see anything at all, the patient doesn't have free fluid, they are stable, their beta is less than 2,000 and we can't see anything at all in the ultrasound, they can still be a very early interuterine pregnancy or an ectopic. These are very tricky patients and we tend to discuss with a consultant about what we would do. If they're stable, we often bring them back and repeat both the beta HCG and the ultrasound until an interuterine pregnancy can be ruled in. Clearly, if they have worsening signs of symptoms or a syncope, they need to come right back. Just to recap, unstable patient or stable patient with positive free fluid on the ultrasound needs to be referred right away. In the patient who is stable, who have no free fluid, a positive interuterine pregnancy on the ultrasound in a patient who is not undergoing fertility treatment makes the risk of ectopic extremely low. Those are the patients we can likely send home. In the patient without an interuterine pregnancy, if their beta HCG is more than 2,000 or if you see an ennexal abnormality, then you're worried about an ectopic pregnancy. Again, the consultant needs to be reached. In those whose beta HCG is less than 2,000 with no abnormality seen on the ennexa, they need to be reassessed frequently. Let's talk a little bit about treatment. What happens after we diagnose an ectopic pregnancy? As you can imagine, any unstable patient will need to go to the operating room. For stable patients, the treatment is a joint decision between the consultant and the patient. For small ectopic pregnancy that has not ruptured, the consultant might give medicine to stop the pregnancy from growing and to let it abort on its own. Let medicine is methotrexate. This medicine has a 30% failure rate and sometimes the dose needs to be repeated. Therefore, if a patient with a diagnosed small ectopic pregnancy, even if they're on methotrexate, they have a chance that the medicine have failed and the pregnancy keep growing and then they can show up with a ruptured topic with unstable vital signs. These patients often get very close follow-up and know what signs and symptoms return. Depending on the center you work, a dose of Robam is also given to patients who are in RH negative on the type N screen. To recap, all females of child-bearing age needs a urinbrata HCG. Patients who have no risk factor can still have an ectopic pregnancy. Any patients who are unstable or have free fluid in the abdomen needs to go to the operating room. For stable patients, the management is a combination of what shows up on the ultrasound in terms of whether there is or not an intrauterine pregnancy and how high the beta HCG level is in the blood. An ectopic pregnancy because of the potential devastating complication is a must-not-miss diagnosis in the emergency department. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much for watching.


Dragnet, Detective Sergeant, you're assigned a missing person's detail. You get a call that a man has failed to return to his home. There's reason to suspect pow play. Your job, investigate. Friday, January 2nd, was overcast in Los Angeles. We were working the night watch out of homicide division, missing person's detail. My partner's Frank Smith, the boss is Captain Warman. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from communications and it was 8.12 a.m. when I got to room 24. Squad room. Well, it's hard to believe, isn't it? January 2nd, another year gone by. Yeah. You see this evening's sports page? No, I didn't, why? Still talking about that Rose Bowl game. Oh, is that so? You know, Joe looks to me like that last play of the game is going to end up like the Dempsey Tunny thing. The what? The Dempsey Tunny fight. Oh, no, I don't think it will. Oh, yeah. Big controversy over that last play. Well, since when all the sports writers agree. Well, that's where you're wrong, Joe. Buddy, figure that. I read them all. Examiner, Times, Harold, News, The Mirror. They all agree the officials called it right. All the sports writers, huh? Every one of them. Apparently you haven't seen this. I've never seen that paper before in my life. No, that's where you're wrong, Joe. All the writers don't agree on that last play, see? Finchley Crockett, right there, you can see for yourself. Who? Finchley Crockett. Who's he? Only the sports editor, that's all. The editor of what? What paper is this? Jesse County Realist. Picked it up tonight, I'm away in. Yeah, well, the game's over, so let's just forget about it. What do you say? Oh, sure. Just overlook the only right call on the game, huh? Just pass it right by. Joe Finchley Crockett's never been wrong. Called the World Series, the all-star game. Picked the heavyweight champ before the fight. He's accurate, Joe. Well, good for him. But it's over and the score still stands. Next year's another game, okay? Listen to this. I'm going to read this column to you. The bird says by Finchley Crockett. What's the name of the column? The bird. Bird Crockett. Who? Well, oh, I forgot to tell you. When Crockett played for the Trojans, his nickname was the bird. I don't remember anybody with that name playing for USC. No, Joe. JCU, Jesse County Trojans. Oh, yeah, sure. Now, listen to what he says. It is a rare treat when the editor of a small town paper gets to see one of the nation's bowl games. But your editor was so treated this week at the county seat. As you all know, the new television transmitter is now operating and it is a rare treat. As you know, there's nothing like being at the game. But it is a rare treat when the editor of a small town paper gets to see one of the nation's bowl games. He's a real great guy, Joe. And in closing, yours truly would like to go on record and say that the last play of the game was a complete mystery to me. Go ahead, that's it, Joe. He made his point. That's all there is to the entire column. Well, that said, it proves that all the sportswriters didn't agree on the last play of the game. I get it. Missing persons Friday. Yes, ma'am. That's right. All right, we'll be right out. Come on, ma'am. Right away. Bye. What do you got? Missing husband. Yeah. Wife says he and another man went out this afternoon. He's over three hours late getting home. It's kind of early to start worrying, huh? No, not the way she puts it. What do you mean? Well, the fellow with him. Yeah. Her husband was going to have him put in jail. 8.32 p.m., Frank and I left the office and drove out to the address. It was located on Agatha Street. The lettering on the window read, Helmmer's mannequin rental in sales. The store was dark except for a single light at the rear of the place. We knocked and a small woman in her fifties answered the door. We identified ourselves and she asked us in. You want to come back to the office? Thank you. Watch your steps there. It's kind of dark. Thank you. These dummies sure look like real people. Yes, they specialize in lifelike models. I've been working on the book. Trying to keep my mind off of what's happened. Uh-huh. If you want to sit down. That's all right, Miss Helmmer.  You want to tell us what this is all about now? Jason's gone. That's your husband's name? Jason Helmmer? That's right. How old is he? He's 53. He had a birthday last October. Why do you think something's happened to him? Because it's not like him to do a thing like this without telling me. You told me on the phone that you'd heard from him. Is that right? Not from him. Fred Madison called me. When was that? I guess it was about 5.45. It might have been 6. No later. Well, what did this fellow Madison say to you? He told me that Jason was coming right home. Were they together when he called? What do you know? Fred said they were. Did you talk to your husband? No. At the time, I didn't think it'd be necessary. You know where they called from? Well, Fred said Sombar. Did he mention her name? No, and I didn't ask. I guess I was afraid to. What do you mean? Well, Jason used to drink quite a bit. We had a lot of trouble over it. It seemed like everything was falling apart. Then he straightened up and quit. He hasn't had a drink a liquor in 10 years. When Fred called, I thought that maybe he'd gotten Jason started again. Did he say your husband had been drinking? No. No, he just told me that Jason was leaving the barn to be right home. Was he driving? Well, I don't know. Ma'am. My husband heard his shoulder a couple of days ago. He wrenched it. I don't think he's able to drive very well. Well, you might try to make it with one hand. Our car has that automatic drive thing, you know. You don't have to shift gears. Yeah, ma'am. But I don't think he'd have driven. Did he leave in your car? Yes. Fred told him he'd drive. Where'd they go? Well, like I told you on the phone, to the races.  No. The only reason he went today was to collect some money. From who? Fred. He's the man your husband was going to put in jail, is that right? Yes, that's right. Why? Well, he's owed us some money for quite a while. About four months ago, Jason asked him for it. Fred wrote a check. Oh, I see. It wasn't any good. You want to go ahead? Well, Jason tried to get in touch with Fred and wanted to give him the chance to make good on the check. He was never able to catch him at home. Talked to him on the phone. But Fred was never there when my husband went over to see him. Jason told him to have the money this morning or the bad check would be turned over to the police. Fred showed up here this morning. We thought he'd come to pay the money, but he told us he didn't have it. And Jason said there wasn't any reason to spend more time on it, said they might as well go to the police. That's when Fred told us that he could get the money out of the racetrack. He wanted Jason to drive him out there. Is that what happened? Yeah. But first, Jason didn't want to, you know, with his sore shoulders. Yes, ma'am. And he told Fred to take a bus. Fred said he didn't have any money and begged my husband to drive him, told him how he'd pay the money he owed and have enough to get home. Yeah. Well, they left here about 11. Did this Fred Madison say who he was going to get the money from? No. Just that it was some friend. Can you give us a description of your husband's car? Yes. I've got the license number two, if you want it. How about a description of both, ma'am? Well, I can give you that. All right, Miss Elmer. Sergeant. Yes, ma'am. You've been through this kind of thing before. You ought to know. What's that? About Jason. Do you think he's all right? Well, I wouldn't know him, Miss Elmer. We'll try to find out. We've been so close the last ten years, ever since he stopped drinking. I guess that's what I'm afraid of more than anything else. Him starting up again. That's ma'am, I can understand. Do you think he might have started up again? Well, I wouldn't know that either, but I'd say things might be in your favor. Well, how's that? Well, ten years is a long time. Yeah. Good habits are hard to break, too. Before we left the store, we got a complete description of Jason Helmer and Fred Madison. We also got Madison's address and the license number of the car they were driving. Mrs. Helmer gave us a recent photograph of her husband and we checked with R and I on both men. We found a record on each one of them. Helmer had been booked twelve times per drunk. The last one was over ten years ago. Madison had been picked up for drunk, suspicion of burglary and writing checks without sufficient funds. We checked the jails and the hospitals and we found that neither man had been booked in the last five hours. We went back to the office and got a local and an APB on both men and the car. 9.46 p.m. We drove out to talk to Fred Madison. There was no one at home, but we got the information that his wife was employed at a restaurant on Clay Street. We went over to see her. Can I help you? Yeah. I'd like to see Mrs. Madison, please. Who are you? Police officers. This is my partner, Frank Smith. My name is Friday. Here's our identification. Well, I'm Lorna Madison. What do you want? A few questions you'd like to ask. Your mind going in the back to talk. I don't want everybody in the place to know my business. All right. We'll be back here. Hard enough to keep the job. Go ahead. Sit down. Thank you. Thank you.  No, thank you. I don't have to ask you what this is all about, I guess. Big part? Something about Fred. Yes, ma'am. What'd he do? Well, we're not sure that he's done anything yet, Mrs. Madison. Then why are you here? We're trying to find him. He isn't trouble. We just won't talk to him. Could you tell us where he might be? He should be home. Are you tied there? Yes, we have. Well, I don't know then. He left this morning, said he'd be home early. Have you heard from him? No. Did he say where he was going when he left? The race track. Was he going with anybody, would you know? He didn't say. What kind of work does your husband do, Mrs. Madison? He's a collector. What's that? He collects corks and bottles. Ma'am? I'm trying to tell you he doesn't work. He just drinks. And how could he afford to go to the races? He can't. The only money he's got is what he can borrow from other people to steal from my purse. Did he say why he was going to the races?  I tried to help him, but he doesn't make any effort to change. He just goes on drinking and feeling sorry for himself. Any idea where he'd go if he was drinking? Any place where he can mooch a drink. He's even tried it here. Can you give us the name of any of the places? Yeah. I can tell you, but would you tell me what he's done? Well, it's just like we said, Mrs. Madison, we're not sure that he's done anything yet. That's the truth? Yes, ma'am. We just like to talk to him. All right. I think I can help you find him. I got a phone call earlier this evening. From your husband? No, from a friend of ours in the valley, David Neeson. Fred had called him. Fred wanted to use his place tonight. Davis said he could. I asked him if Fred had been drinking. He said he couldn't tell, but I know he has. Follows the pattern. How's that, Mrs. Madison? He's done it before. Go out to David's place, drink himself into a stupor. David always calls me, so I won't worry. Could I ask something of your offices? All right. If you find him there, will you do what you can for him? Well, do you think it's going to do any good? Why you made Mr. Friday? I don't think he'd take our help, would he? Why? He didn't want yours. Mrs. Madison gave us the address of the place where her husband was supposed to be. We also got the address and phone number of David Neeson. We put in a call to him, but he hadn't heard from Madison. Frank and I left the restaurant and drove out to the San Fernando Valley. On the way out, it started to rain. 3113 Nordhoff Street was a small redwood house. We parked the car and walked up onto the ports. Frank tried the door. Yeah. Madison, open the door. Go away, I didn't order anything. Come on, Madison, open up. Mike, he's doing too good. Come on. Let's talk inside. Well, sure. Wouldn't keep anybody out in the night like this. Come on in. Police officers. Yeah. Let's go over by the fire. It's cold out here in the middle of the room. You pred Madison? Well, that's what you call me when you're potted on the door. That's right. You friends with Dave's? We've talked to him. He's a nice fellow, Dave. This is Hush, you know? Yeah, we know. Nice place. Roof's tight. Good bar. He's a great friend, though, Dave. Come on. Get out. Yeah. All right. How you fellas like to drink? You know something to keep it chill out? No, we don't want one. We think you've gotten up, too. Well, how about you, mister? No. Okay. But don't say I didn't try to... Put the glass down, Madison. You don't have enough trouble answering our questions as it is. Well, it's just where you're wrong. That's right. Yeah. One thing everybody says about old Fred, he can handle his booze. You've never seen old Fred swinging. Put that glass down. Okay. Like to cooperate. Mind if I sit down? Here. I'll help you. Sit right here. All right. Oh, Dave, ought to get some cushions for these benches. Yeah, you want to start talking now? Whatever, you're ready. What'd you do today? All day? That's right. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Where'd you go? Took a little ride out to the track. The races? Yeah, took a little ride. Did you go by yourself? Mm-hmm. I said did you go to the races by yourself? Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't. Who'd you go with? A friend of mine. What's his name? Well, you don't know him. Give us his name. Jason Homer. Tell us what happened. Well, nothing.  Did you make any bets? No. Then why'd you go? I like horses. You know that's not the reason. Now, come on. Okay, I went out to collect some money. For who? Why are you asking all these questions? Did you get the money? Yeah. What'd you do with it? I don't think that's any of your business. You doing anything wrong with it? No. Then you don't mind telling us, do you? Hey, Bill. To who? Jason. How much you owe him? A hundred bucks. Listen, I don't like all these questions. The way you guys came in here, I don't like it at all. I don't think I'm going to answer anything more for you. I think you are.  Come on, Madison. Toads that drove out to the valley. Homer go with you? Yes, he did. Who drove? Me. Jason has a sore shoulder. All right. We stopped at a bar, had a couple of drinks. Homer was feeling pretty good that he got paid. How about Homer? Does he have anything to drink? Who? Homer. Yeah, yeah, a couple. What was the name of the bar? What? The bar. What's the name of it? Well, I don't know. You stopped at a place and you don't know the name of it? That's the way it is. It doesn't matter what name's on the outside. Anyway, just what's on the bottle. That's what's important. All right. What happened then? Jason said he had to go home. He wanted me to call his wife until he was on the way. Did you? Yeah. What time was that? I guess about 5.30, someplace in there. Well, we sat around and had a couple more and then he left. You stayed on after Homer left? Yeah. Who paid for the drinks? Well, who do you think? Me. How much money did you collect out of the track? A hundred bucks. Collected it and then paid Jason. All right. Let's see your wallet. Why? Come on.  How much money have you got? I don't know. Not much. We'll take a guess, will you? Twenty, thirty dollars. All right. Open your wallet and count it. Well, it might be better if you did. I said you count it. Okay. But don't get mad at me if I do it wrong. We'll try not to. All right. Let's see. Ten, twenty, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven. Twenty-seven dollars. That and the change I still got in my pocket. You want me to count that, too? Never mind. I'll be glad to do it for you. Let me see your wallet. Well, certainly. Here you are. You keep the money. Now give me the wallet. Well, it's the present from my wife. Real nice. A quarter of the leather. Not a stitch in it, you know. It all folded. Okay. Here.  Yeah. Thank you. Where'd you get the money, Madison? From in my wallet. Before that. I had it. Since when? This morning. I won't hold. Why? We got it that you were broke this morning. I got it now. Now I have got it.  You think I'm a thief, isn't that it? We'll let you tell us. There's no deal. I didn't steal it. All right. Then where'd you get it? From my bank. When'd you get it? Tonight.  Well, I don't know why. I'll be perfectly happy to prove it to you. When you're ready, huh? All right. I'll show you. Take your right out there. You think all the banks close at the same time, don't you? Go ahead. Well, you're wrong. Mine's always open. Of course, you don't pay any interest, but it's there and it's always open. All right. Let's go. Sure. Take your right out there. You got a coat? No, sir. Hey, how about a little drink before we go? Huh? Kind of warm us up. Put that down. I told you once. You've had enough of that. Ain't that much. Hate to figure what would happen if I ever ran out. I hate to think about it. It'd be terrible to have to go without it. Well, I'll tell you something. What's that? That bank of yours isn't there. You're going to get the chance. Because of Fred Madison's condition, it was difficult to know how much of the truth he was telling us. We went back to the car and started to drive toward Canoga Park. On the way, we stopped and put in a call to Mrs. Helman. Her husband still hadn't returned. Madison directed us to drive to a ranch-type house on Kelvin Avenue. For the time we got there, it stopped raining. We parked the car and walked up to the house. There were no lights on and no answer when we rang the bell. All right, Madison, you through playing games now? Bank shot in the back yard. What? Back yard. There's a barbecue out there. The bank's a tin can there there. All right, show us. Sure. I used to live in this house. That's all. Yeah, always figured that Sunday I was going to need some money. One time, I just went out and buried some. Figured there'd be a time when I was going to need it. Yeah. It's a tin can at the barbecue. What time are you here today? Well, I don't know. I don't have a watch. You haven't got any idea, huh? Sorry. That catch is kind of tricky. You've got to pull it towards you. Always meant to fix that when we lived here. All right, now where's the barbecue? The one you've got to fly, sir. I haven't. You tell us where you want it pointed. You don't trust anybody. Where's the barbecue? It's over in the corner of the yard right near the fence. Where? Over here? I'll swing the light over to the left. All right. There's nothing there. Maybe I made a mistake. It's been a while since I've been here. There must be any other corner of the yard. Over here, huh? Yeah. All right. Take a good look.  I don't understand it, I saw it today. Mm-hmm. Probably the owner of the house, huh? We'll check with him. Sure don't understand it. Right in the corner of the yard near the fence. Some of you fellas are looking for? Police officer, sir. We tried the door. There wasn't anybody home. Tell me what this is all about. You live here, do you? That's right. What are you looking for? You know anything about a barbecue pit in the backyard here? Yeah, why? The one tells where it is. I tore it down three months ago. We returned Fred Madison to the office for further interrogation. Frank and I attempted to talk to him without result. He said he couldn't remember where he'd gotten the money. He couldn't tell us where Jason Halmer was. They put in a call to the missing man's home, but he still hadn't returned. We rechecked the hospitals and the jails without result. 1.14 a.m., we were ready to give it up for the night. Frank went over to the office, and I got Madison ready to leave. You're going to take me to jail now? You call it. Come on. Hold it up, Madison. What do you got? A call just came in about Halmer's car. They just found it. While men from the business office took Madison over to the main jail for booking, Frank and I drove out to the valley again. Halmer's car had been found about a mile off the Panca Canyon Boulevard on Farview Road. It was back off the road and partially hidden by the trees. When we got there, a radio car was standing by. We talked to the officer. Take a look at the back. Stuff on the ground there. I covered it with the boxes in case it started to rain again. That's good. Some stains here on the ground. I don't know if they're going to mean anything. You got anything we can use to open this trunk? I'll check our car. All right. What do you think? I don't know. Better get in touch with the crime lab, have them come out and go over to the place. Yeah. Yeah. I got something. Can you get it? Put that light over here, will you? Yeah. How's that? That's better. Need some help? No. Here. Once more ought to do it now. Yeah. We'd be wrong. Yeah. The crime lab and they came out and made an investigation of the scene. From what we could tell, Halmer had been killed by some sort of blunt instrument. His empty wallet was in the trunk beside the body. 648 a.m. We had Fred Madison brought from his cell. I feel lousy. My head feels like it don't belong to me. Why don't you tell us the truth? You haven't told me what this is about. There's no reason why I should answer your questions if I don't know what you're trying to get at. We want the truth. All these questions over and over the same things. You can make it easy on yourself. Well, how? Come up with the right answers. But I told you. Yeah, like the bar you went to called me. I don't know. I'd tell you the name if I knew. I've been drinking pretty good. I'll get it. Right. What do you mean? This explains where you got the money. What? When you took the currency from Halmer's wallet, you left three perfect prints on one of the celluloid envelopes. You mean something has happened to Halmer? You tell us. Come on, you can drop the bluff. I don't think you're going to die here. You want to tell us? He was going to send me to jail. I didn't get the money at the track. I tried to get him to give me some more time. Yeah. I was so righteous about it, said I had enough time. He was going to go to police. I pleaded with him, but he wouldn't listen. It happened real quick. Maybe if I hadn't been drinking it might not have been this way. I don't know. Yeah. I started to think about the big trouble I was in. I figured it was all a kind of money. All right. There really was a guy at the track, you know. He was going to lend me the money to pay Halmer. Mm-hmm. If he'd have loaned me the money, I would have solved everything. What was the matter with you? What do you mean? That money, old Halmer. Yeah. He could have worked for it. Carson Madison was tried in convictive murder in the first degree and received sentence as prescribed by law. On recommendation of the jury, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary San Quentin, California.

My name is Wilhann. I'm currently a trooper serving in Alleywell Troop, the Royal Lancers and we've just completed Alleywell Surge. On Operation Alleywell Surge we were awoken in the early hours of the morning and we were pushed out as a trooper to northern Poland where we were inspecting various positions to pass over to Berserker Company, US Army. From there we deployed further north throughout the Baltic States staying at various NATO camps along the way for ending up in Estonia and linking up with the rest of the British battle group there before coming all the way back down. A positive that I'm taking from operational Alleywell Surge was the sheer scale and interoperability of NATO. All these different nations coming together with a common goal, helping each other out, learning from each other, developing each other. I've learnt a lot from the Canadians, Italians, from the US Army all along throughout the operation and I think just the capabilities that we all share that we can deploy at a moment's notice is really strong. I hope that people take away from this operation the sheer scale of what's going on in Eastern Europe and how the alliance is stronger than ever and how together we can push forward to hopefully a bright future. I think what met my expectation with the operation was how we were able to complete our objectives rapidly. I mean we deployed within a moment's notice and we deployed in a really rapid time far exceeding the time that we were set. I had no doubt in my mind that we were able to do that and I had no doubt in my mind that we were able to get up there in good order either. Personally I think that I'm just enjoying working with lots of different nations and I think that everyone else should take that away too. I'm Captain Christine Hoffman, Fire Support Officer for First Battalion 9th Cavalry and this is Operation All-I-Wall Surge. During Operation All-I-Wall Surge we moved from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and then back down to Poland again. During Operation All-I-Wall Surge I've taken that from this experience stopping along at each Enhance Ford Presence battle group, their fires enterprise and how it's ran. So taking it in their capabilities and taking it for our battle group here in Poland that way we can expand our interoperability and spread it across the board. From this operation I hope soldiers take the connections that they've created and all of the contact information and give it to the next rotation so that it sets them up for success.
