Grab your death metal albums and don't talk to the cops without a lawyer because today we're gaining a broader understanding of the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s and how it greatly impacted the case of the West Memphis ThreeIn part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas. We told you things the way that they seemed, now it's time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the "Satanic Panic" and it's origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning. We also include passages from Damien's book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Devil's Knot. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There's so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Grab your your old cassette tapes, and your deepest sense of injustice, because today we're getting a broader understanding of the 1993 West Memphis Murders and the three little boys who never made it home.On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They'd get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It's not over.There's new evidence. There's new DNA. There's a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.In part one of this series, we're not starting with suspects. We're starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.(originally released in May of 2023, full sources available in show notes)Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

In “America's Lost Peanut and the Price of Bringing it Back,” Gravy producer Otis Gray takes listeners on a journey through the history and revival of the Carolina African Runner Peanut, an heirloom crop thought to be extinct until 2013. Today, a contingency of heirloom enthusiasts and chefs are trying to bring the historic peanut back into the spotlight through farm-to-table dining. The question is: if not everyone can sit at the table, are we doing it the right way?   In 2015, heirloom farmer and “flavor chaser” Nat Bradford was entrusted with a handful of the small, rust-colored African Runner Peanuts uncovered in a seed bank at North Carolina University—peanuts that trace their lineage back to the transatlantic slave trade. These peanuts, once a staple in Southern cuisine, were nearly lost to time, replaced by larger, more industrialized varieties like the Virginia peanut.   This Gravy episode delves into the complex history of this crop, uncovering how it was grown by enslaved Africans for sustenance, quietly thriving in clandestine gardens on plantations. Culinary historian Michael Twitty explains the peanut's deep cultural and historical ties to the African diaspora and the way it shaped Southern foodways. As the peanut reemerges, it raises important questions: Who gets to grow, cook, and profit from these heirloom crops today?   While passionate about preserving the peanut, Bradford has found that reviving heirloom ingredients in today's economy is costly. The African Runner Peanut, marketed primarily to high-end chefs, is expensive to grow and difficult to shell, limiting its accessibility. Chef Kevin Mitchell, a culinary instructor and historian, shares these concerns. While he uses heirloom crops like the African Runner Peanut to educate his students about food history, he also grapples with the reality that many of the people who helped shape this crop's history are now economically excluded from its revival.   Through conversations with experts like Twitty, Mitchell, and culinary historian Tonya Hopkins, the episode explores the extractive nature of the modern food industry and how white chefs and high-end restaurants often overshadow Black culinary history. While the African Runner Peanut's story is one of cultural and historical importance, it's also a story of economic and racial disparity. How do we grapple with the broader implications of reviving lost crops and whether our methods are truly equitable? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S4MB2 NORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY SHOOTING  In this special episode of the podcast, we discuss the recent shooting that took place at North Carolina University. The campus was in lockdown for hours as students and faculty members feared for their lives. The incident has sparked a renewed discussion about the "run, hide, fight" protocol that is often taught in active shooter situations. The shooting was covered extensively in the media, with the campus newspaper The Daily Tar Heel running a front-page article the following day. The article included messages from social media and texts from students who were on campus during the lockdown. The fear was undeniably palpable, and it's clear that we need to revisit our approach to these types of situations. Join us as we delve into the details of the North Carolina University shooting and explore why it's so important to have a plan in place for active shooter situations.

Here's what's in the so-called “trans” killer's manifesto--probably--and another mostly white--but not white at all--alleged killer. Plus, the judge in Trump's DC trial is on record: Trump is already guilty.We live in a fallen world, full of lies. In today's episode we discuss the government's push of the white supremacy narrative. We take a look at the manifesto of the killer in Jacksonville and the manifesto of the “trans” killer that is being hidden from us.Why is it being hidden and what does it say? I think I can tell you precisely what it says. What does God's Word say? Romans 1:26-32 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.Episode 1,057 Links:BIDEN: "The U.S. intelligence community has determined that domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest terrorist threat we face in the homeland"We Have the Jacksonville Killer's Manifesto But Not the One Belonging to the Nashville School Killer; Both killers are dead.Anyone else find it odd that the suspect in the North Carolina University shooting went to Wuhan University. His LinkedIn profile shows he received a Bachelor of Science from Wuhan in 2015…Also weird, none of these people actually live in North Carolina according to their own profiles.They're not talking about this one: Murdoch-funded post-debate poll destroys the entire Establishment narrative…President Trump's support among black voters has nearly tripled from 8% to 20%.

In part one of this series we told you about Stevie, Michael, Chris and the murders that would forever change West Memphis Arkansas. We told you things the way that they seemed, now it's time to get into things the way that they actually were.In this episode we try and gain a broader understanding of the Satanic Panic and it's origins (from preschools to memoirs to rock music) while examining how this same search for satan narrowed the murder investigation by the West Memphis Police Department in 1993We learn about the way polygraphs were used in the investigation and why they held so much weight for the police and some of the people who may have gotten off without much questioning.We also include passages from Damien's book Life After Death and the book Jason Baldwin helped write with Mara Leverit, Dark Spell. We end this episode with a confession from Jesse Misskelley and the arrests of Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin.There's so much to unpack in this episode and this case!Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

In this episode, Andrea and David talk with Sam Schopler, a third-year veterinary student at North Carolina University and a Veterinary Alliance Director at pet Desk. Sam is starting his career in vet med and has a unique perspective on our industry. Sam also has an entrepreneurial mindset and talks to us about leadership in the veterinary workplace through the lens of a student not yet in practice. We dive into how the demand for veterinarians is high, practices are competing for veterinarians, and what is it that new grads are looking for in a workplace. The expectations of veterinarians might not be the historical key components we have grown to expect to discuss, and instead a shift towards defined mentorship, transparent conversations with leadership about trying new things, and cultivating a culture for a healthy workplace.   Join us, grab a cup of coffee, or pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the session!

Of the world's 100 largest cities, more than a quarter are in China. In 1980, about 20% of the population lived in a city, by 2020 that had risen to more than 60%. Rapid urbanization has seen improved transport links and housing giving millions of people access to better healthcare, education and jobs. Poverty rates have fallen sharply, while at the same time the economy has boomed. So, what lessons can be learned from that? And how can the benefits of urbanization be balanced with inevitable environmental consequences?In this episode, Juliet Mann speaks to Chris Hamnett, Professor of Geography at Kings College London, Dr Yan Song, the Director of North Carolina University's Program on Chinese Cities and world-renowned urbanization expert, Alain Bertaud. 

Season 3 Episode 1. Frank Barone In this episode I chat with Frank Barone, head strength and conditioning coach for Angel City FC in the NWSL.  Frank has gained great experiences at Robert Morris University, North Carolina University, University of Pittsburgh, and San Antonio FC.  His take on strength training and conditioning for soccer is one that focuses on preparing teams and programs to "score more goals than the opposition".  He is a huge proponent of periodization and shares how a strength and conditioning coach can become an asset to a soccer program by working within the staff, and not on an island. This is a must listen to episode that I know will be informative and force you to think in depth about your coaching and program set up! Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast!

Has a great game to wrap the College Basketball season and we wondered if people around here were in favor of Kansas cutting down the nets.. White So add an all star starter?  Plus our 5 @ 5 segment. 

In this episode we are joined by Marina Zurita, Acadia Barrengos, and Mollye Maxner, talking all things theatre directing.  Acadia Barrengos is a theatre director hailing from New England. She found her home in directing through molecular genetic study of pregnancy and childbirth poetry and dance which brought her to North Carolina University of the Arts. Inspired by the research and study of epigenetics, Acadia is driven by stories that wrestle with inheritance, and is fascinated by the discovery that we can adapt how our bodies read our DNA coding to evolve through and beyond intergenerational trauma. Marina Zurita is a theatre director born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she likes to think of theatre as a powerful gap between translations, home for lost voices and interpretations. She moved to the USA in 2016, and is currently pursuing a BFA in directing as UNCSA. Living in a foreign location fuelled her passion for anthropological research in linguistics, inspiring her to develop her upcoming project ‘Mother Tongue', to be performed in the spring of 2022.    Mollye Maxner is an educator, director, choreographer and maker of original performance work. Her movement theatre work has been performed in the USA, Taiwan, Germany, Georgia, and throughout Turkey. Mollye is on the faculty at UNC school of the Arts, where she is director and co-creator of the studio for creative practice, a laboratory for transdisciplinary art and inquiry. https://www.acadiabarrengos.com https://www.marinazurita.com  We want to hear from YOU and provide a forum where you can put in requests for future episodes.

A transplant isn't an event that happens exclusively to the organ recipient.  It also has a major impact on the family of a recipient or organ donor and often results in complex situations and relationship dynamics.  Carol Offen and Betsy Crais are co-authors of "The Insider's Guide to Living Kidney Donation: Everything You Need to Know If You Give (or Get) the Greatest Gift.”  “Our book includes much-needed nontechnical guidance for living donors and kidney patients considering or dealing with a transplant, from medical information to the impact on family relationships. Patient or donor, it's critical to consider all the issues and be well informed. Knowledge is power–never more so than in matters of health,” explains Carol, a writer/editor in North Carolina. Betsy, a North Carolina University professor/researcher, is a grateful kidney and liver recipient: she had a kidney transplant in 2004, and a kidney AND liver transplant the summer of 2021.  Carol donated a kidney to her son when he lost kidney function stemming from a strep throat.  Learn how their stories intertwine and ultimately lead to a 7-year journey to publish their book together!The Insider's Guide to Living Kidney Donation“The Insider's Guide to Living Kidney Donation” is available in a variety of formats and places:Amazon (Paperback or Kindle)BookBaby (Paperback and e-book) Signed copies through Flyleaf Books. AND ALL MAJOR RETAILERS CAN ORDER IT!You can contact Carol and Betsy at carol.kidneydonorhelp@gmail.com.  Check out Carol's Blog, which is ranked #2 of the Top 30 Kidney Donor Blogs.

In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host talks with Sugandha Singh, Assistant Professor at Jaypee University of Information and Technology. She was the Guest Faculty at the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra and a Graduate Research Assistant at North Carolina University, working on the research titled “Seismic Response of Electrical Equipment in Nuclear Power Plant.” She was also the Project Engineer at Shapoorji Pallonji Group, coordinating all workers between site and head office, vendor billing, and certification, reviewing daily progress reports, project scheduling and, material management. Sugandha talks about earthquakes and how earthquakes affect structures, why she focused on studying electrical equipment response in Nuclear Power Plants, and the research's findings and results. She also shares some insights on how structures behave when subjected to earthquakes and other areas the search can be applicable apart from Nuclear Power Plants. Tune in to learn more about the effects of earthquakes on buildings and how we can reduce them. Timestamps [00:44] Earthquakes and how they affect structures [01:42] Why Sugandha focused on studying electrical equipment response Nuclear Power Plants [04:39] Sugandha's findings and results after studying [04:49] How structures behave when subjected to earthquakes [09:36] Other areas apart from Nuclear Power Plants where this research is applicable [15:43] Sugandha's recommendations after conducting the research Quotes ● If an earthquake exceeds the designed earthquake for a nuclear power plant, the electrical equipment will automatically shut it down and maintain a safe operation. ● When we analyze a building cabinet and equipment system for an earthquake, we ignore the effect of an impact within the cabinet which happens when it moves under the earthquake with the building. ● Many people don't focus on what they should do to keep a building safe. ● The supreme objective of the nuclear power plant industry is not to let it fail. They have to keep an eye on every little part of the plant. ● We need to model our buildings and non-structure components such as cabinets more carefully to understand their actual behaviour.

Family life is not always rooted in love. For the blended family of Lieth and Bonnie Von Stein, life was marked by disappointments, resentment, and deep-seated hate. One summer night in 1988, Bonnie and Lieth were viscously attacked in their own bed. Daughter Angela said that she had slept through the attack. Son Christopher was away, living in student housing at North Carolina University.The primary investigation led to Christopher and his Dungeons & Dragons playing friends. During this era of satanic panic, there was a public perception that the brutal attacks were a real life manifestation of the role-playing game. At the quiet end today, we’re looking into the dark heart of family life in a small southern town. It’s a terrifying story of greed and callousness and the story of a mother forced to consider the worst about her own son.

Then the Professor, a Southern good old boy, former high school football lineman, and avid hunter, hatches a scheme to bring a young woman into the house, insisting that as a creative writing teacher, such women find him alluringly subversive and artistic. The Counselor is dubious but persuaded nonetheless―much to his detriment. The articulate but bumbling Counselor and Professor find themselves outwitted at every turn by Victoria, a young woman who is clever, inscrutable, and superb at finishing what she starts. She initiates passionate sexual encounters with the men, but as time goes on, what she demands in return becomes untenable. When she goes missing, John Watson, the county sheriff―and the Professor’s lifelong friend―feels compelled to open a murder investigation. Full of wicked humor, artful eroticism, scintillating dialogue, and a bit of intrigue, Enemy Queen is an exhilarating romp.

Acronyms are F’d Up Pt. 1RecapWritten by Brandi AbbottIn 1992, George Goode was at his home with his brother Chris and friend Eugene DeCastro. The landlord, Leon Batton, came by for rent and a verbal fight broke out outside between Chris, Eugene, and Leon. George was still in his trailer. The argument escalated really quickly - to the point that Chris and Eugene attacked Leon physically and ultimately stabbed him to death. Leon’s wife, Margaret, got a call that someone was attacking her husband and she rushed over – Chris and Eugene turned their attention to her and inexplicably killed this poor woman as well. George who had remained inside for the entire altercation was in shock and terrified but Chris and Eugene snapped him out of it and all three men fled. For whatever reason, Chris handed Leon’s wallet to George at some point - so evidently they had robbed him as well. George was arrested very quickly, shortly followed by his brother, and Eugene the next day. As they had no time to pop home and take a shower or anything, Chris and Eugene were still covered in blood when they were picked up. George had absolutely no blood on him; and the SBI Crime Lab at the time even verified this, but a knife was found near where he was arrested and he had Leon’s wallet and somehow he was charged with murder. George’s trial began in 1993 when Duane Deaver was a young up and comer, and he testified at the trial that there was “invisible blood” on George’s boots. No one asked if this was his initial test or confirmatory test, because at that time, no one knew to ask. No one asked about the coveralls George was wearing which had been tested by a different analyst and received negative results because the defense didn’t have access to the files. George and Eugene were sentenced to the death penalty, whereas Chris received life in prison, but as he was actually covered in blood, we aren’t sure why he received a lighter sentence. Diane Savage, who has been mentioned a few times so far in the podcast, was born and raised in New York and a bit of a troublemaker. She was kicked out of her family home at a very young age, but she was scrappy and got a job in a lab to provide for herself. After a few years of working there, the lab workers decided to unionize and she helped them. She also helped with community organizing. Stuff like this was what she really enjoyed and wanted to continue helping others. She decided law school was the way to go, and got in to Georgetown. During her time in Washington D.C., she met her now husband who received a job opportunity in North Carolina, so they relocated. When she first arrived in NC, she was told by a local that she had “three marks against her”. 1. That she was a Yankee, 2. That she went to a fancy school and, 3. That she was a woman.  Diane’s first case as an attorney in North Carolina was George’s appeal. As we learned in the last episode, if you’re sentenced to death row, you’re appointed two defense attorneys. He got Diane and Lisa Williams. As Diane was reading through the case file, she noticed that there wasn’t a record of confirmatory tests. She had hired forensic expert, Marilyn Miller, and also had her lab background – and both women found the lack of secondary tests concerning. Note: This case was Marilyn’s first experience with Deaver and his shitty science. Phenolphthalein was the presumptive test that was used to confirm the alleged blood on George’s clothes. At the trial Diane questioned Deaver about his confirmatory tests, which were standard operating procedure in the SBI lab (even if reporting them was not), and Deaver claimed he didn’t do one. As evidenced throughout the podcast and in the Audit report, he always did a confirmatory test - so this was weird. The judge in this case didn’t like that Diane Savage was “living up to her last name”, according to Priya, and the DA didn’t like the way she was treating Deaver. According to Diane, Judge Jenkins told her that she engaged in character assassination and maligned elected public officials. He also told her that if she were correct about Duane Deaver, a grand jury should be convened and people prosecuted for perjury. Diane said that the judge struck the pleading over what she said about Deaver and she would have to start over again. He also took what’s called judicial notice to basically declare as “fact” that Duane Deaver was great.  To further prove his point, he reported Diane to the state bar for discipline. She was investigated and removed from her cases.Thankfully, she was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing. Priya pointed out that this was in 1997 and if people had listened to Diane then, they may have been able to shave 13 years off of a lot of people’s sentences and maybe even saved some lives (see: Death Row is F’d Up). ASCLD LAB was the only agency that had accredited the SBI Crime Lab as of 2010, and as the News and Observer stated, had missed all of the problems. They should have been aware of all of the mess the SBI had been concocting and should have stopped it. ASCLD LAB stands for The American Society of Crime Lab Directors Laboratory Accreditation Board, is not to be confused with ASCLD which is just the American Society of Crime Lab Directors. Confused yet? I sure am. As F’d Up has discussed, the NCSBI Crime Lab is closely intertwined with prosecutors and ASCLD LAB is much the same. ASCLD LAB HQ was located in Johnston County, NC - which was in close proximity to the executive director’s home.  In 2016, ASCLD LAB joined forces with an organization named ANAB, which stands for ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board. The hidden acronym in that one stands for American National Standards Institute- American Society for Quality. If your acronym is so long, it needs its own acronym, you have a problem. After the merger, ASCLD LABS and ANAB became just ANAB. When ASCLD was formed in 1974, their early goals were to address a quality control for labs and their practices, and it was decided that accreditation was the way to go. As ASCLD was not an accrediting body, ASCLD LABS was formed in 1982. Labs accredited by ASCLD LAB must be up to their standards and willing to be re-inspected on site every five years. The process for accreditation includes a tech or supervisor selecting at least five cases for review, which basically means the lab can pick whichever cases they want to be reviewed - and would obviously select their best cases. If a lab is found to be non-compliant, they have the opportunity to correct the issue. At some point after the audit, Chris Swecker told the News and Observer that it was thought that ASCLD LAB was infallible and it was surprising to him that they hadn’t gotten a better sense of what was going on in the SBI Crime Lab for all of those years. It was surprising to only him however, as the labs always knew that ASCLD LAB was coming for a review and were allowed to cherry-pick cases. According to a few articles, the SBI has repeatedly had to fix policies or correct cases in order to pass, but they always did pass and remain in good standing with ASCLD LAB. ASCLD LAB is quoted as saying that they often bend over backwards to help labs pass because they want them to pass. A defense lawyer Priya spoke with, who is part of the New York State Commission of Forensic Science, named Marvin Schechter wrote in a memo in 2011 that ASCLD LAB could more accurately be described as a product service organization that sells a seal of approval for a fee. This is something labs can use to bolster their credibility.Marvin Schechter was in his office in New York when he got a call from a friend in D.C. that a commission was being formed to identify needs from forensic science. They wanted a well-rounded committee of lawyers, scientists, and judges with different perspectives of the needs of forensic science. They were missing a defensive attorney and Marvin’s friend recommended him. With this commission, he coauthored the National Academy of Science’s 2009 report titled “Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward”. This report was a 350-page look at forensic science that identified the needs of the forensic science world and made recommendations to the forensic science community. One thing that the report didn’t look at was accrediting entities for forensic labs in the countries. People like Marvin began getting concerned about these entities, such as ASCLD LABS, because they seemed to have no concern about the blatant wrongdoing in the labs. He wrote a memo to the New York State Commission in March of 2011 that was a detailed analysis about ASCLD LAB and forensic laboratory accreditation which is what inspired Priya to reach out to him for F’d Up. What she learned from speaking to him was that around the same time as the audit and everything going on in NC after Greg Taylor’s exoneration, the SFPDCL (San Francisco Police Department Crime Lab) were garnering attention. A tech in the drug testing area had been stealing cocaine from the lab for personal use, and in May of 2010, the drug testing section was shut down. A whistleblower sent a letter in 2008 to a public defender and a letter in 2009 to ASCLD LAB revealing that there had been a DNA test tube mess-up by a tech that was covered up by a supervisor. In July of 2009, ASCLD LAB sent a letter to that supervisor who denied knowing anything about it. After investigating, verifying that there was a mixup, and finding out the files had been destroyed in an attempted cover-up, ASCLD LAB accredited that lab for another five years. In 2009, the NYSIG (New York State Inspector General), issued a report that mentioned the SDPDCL and its issues. It also mentioned a tech in the NYSPFIC (New York State Police Forensic Investigation Center) had fabricated fiber analysis evidence which occurred while the lab was being accredited by ASCLD LAB. A guy named Jay Jarvis who was on the ASCLD LAB board of directors, referred to this report in an article he had written, meaning they were aware of these issues. The gist of the excuses thrown around over these fuckups is that it’s “one guy in one lab”, but it’s not. There’s a pattern of, at minimum, gross negligence and at most, intentional lying. Duane Deaver is usually named in relation to the disaster that is the SBI Crime Lab and their audit, but as we’ve learned, he wasn’t the only one fucking up, just the one most often blamed. As you may remember, the NAS report in 2009 recommended that lab employees have a science background in biology or chemistry. And… Peter Duane Deaver graduated from North Carolina University with a degree in zoology in 1984. On December 1st, 1985, Deaver was hired by the SBI to work in the serology section of the SBI Crime Lab. Deaver attended the SBI Academy in March of 1986 and worked his first serology case in 1988. At that time a man named Mark Nelson was in charged of the serology department. In 2010, Deaver was involved with 50 of the 230 cases in the audit. When the audit was released, he was suspended with pay and advised that he was the subject of an administrative investigation. In January 2011, he was officially fired. One reason behind this was that he was asked to look over some evidence during his suspension in October of 2010 which was sanctioned by the SBI, but in late October, without permission, he assisted a criminal profiler with writing a complaint related to the case. He asked for his name to be taken off of this complaint as he wasn’t suppose to be working on it while on leave, but removing his name wasn’t legal.Another reason was on September 3rd of 2009, Deaver told the IIC that there was no further testing in Greg Taylor’s case, but there had been. The last reason was his unprofessionalism in saying “that’s a wrap baby” at the end of the video where Gerald Thomas was trying to “shore up” evidence in Kirk Turner’s case. About a month after being fired, he met with SBI Director McLeod in an attempt to get his job back but was denied. He appealed his firing and the case went before the State Human Resources Committee. He claimed that he didn’t perjure himself at trial because he rushed through the file quickly in the car right before the hearing. He defended his performance in the video by claiming he didn’t know the sound would be on in the video. He presented the video he did with Suzi Barker in the Peterson case where she jumps up and down and pointed out that she was only reprimanded, whereas he was he fired. Essentially, everything Deaver had done was being done by everyone in the SBI Crime Lab. His lawyer brought up the fact that Deaver was the scapegoat for the SBI. Getting rid of him was a way to put the public’s mind at ease. The State Human Resources Commission came to the conclusion that the lesser disciplinary action of being demoted with a reduction in his salary would have been appropriate for Deaver. They noted, however, that on July 16th, 2013 Deaver was found to have presented false or misleading evidence for the Michael Peterson case and that would have been grounds for firing. Deaver was unfired in November of 2014 and reinstated into his previous position with two years of backpay and “all of the other benefits of continuous state employment”. He was fired again the same day he was unfired with a backdate of July 16th, 2013 which was the day his misconduct in the Michael Peterson case came to light.Meanwhile, Suzi Barker is still employed with the SBI and Gerald Thomas has climbed the ladder to almost the top of the SBI. Essentially, as F’d Up has been saying this whole time, Duane Deaver isn’t the only problem, there are problems in labs all across America. Next week’s episode will delve more into those, more acronyms, the rest of George Goode’s case, and some tinfoil hat theories about Duane Deaver.

We have moved back in time 100 years. It’s the week of July 23rd, 1917 This week 100 years ago - On Tuesday July 24, 1917 A massive $640,000,000 aviation bill passes in both the House and the Senate is sent to the President for signature. This is one of the largest appropriation for a single idea that the US has ever made - and it passes congress with little to no objection - This is in no small part - because there are so many advocates that believe this incredible new technology of flying machines can be pivotal in the war. As written in the “Official Bulletin”, the government war gazette published by George Creel, President Wilson’s propaganda chief…   Mr. Orville Wright declares that: When my brother and I built and flew the first man-carrying machine [14 years ago], we thought that we were introducing into the world an invention which would make further wars…  practically impossible. Nevertheless, the world [now] finds itself in the- greatest war in history. I say that neither side has been able to win on account of the part - the airplane has played. Both sides know exactly what the other is doing. The two sides are apparently nearly equal in aerial equipment, and unless present conditions can be changed the war will continue for years.   "However;  if the allies' armies are equipped with such a number of airplanes as to keep the enemy planes entirely back of the line, so that they are unable to direct gunfire or to observe the movement of the allied troops—in other words, if the enemy's eyes can be put out —it will be possible to end the war. And this is not taking into account what might be done by bombing German sources of munition and supplies. But to end the war quickly and cheaply, the supremacy In the air must be so complete as to entirely blind the enemy. I believe that by no other method can the war be ended with so little loss of life and property." And 100 years ago this week, the United States makes a $640,000,000 bet that this is so. [SOUND EFFECT] War in the Sky This leads us directly into our War In The Sky segments where we want to introduce you to James Allen Higgs Jr., a native of Raleigh and a two-time graduate of the North Carolina College for Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, today the North Carolina University’s College of Engineering. James Higgs signed up for duty at the mature age of 29, intent on going to war. He was a slight fellow of 5 feet, 5 1/2 inches, weighing only 120 pounds. His greatest ambition, he said just before his graduation, was “to grow.” Higgs felt that if he signed up as an infantryman, he likely would not survive more than a few days in the trenches. In an interview in 1968 he said: “I was a little guy, and I couldn’t fancy myself swapping bayonet thrusts with those big Germans, so when the call went out to be balloon observers, I volunteered. “They took us to Washington and put us in a machine and spun us around until we were thoroughly dizzy, then measured the time it took to regain our equilibrium. I was one of the winners.” Being a “balloon spy,” as he was often called, was a position unique to the Civil War and World War I. Every day, from sunrise to sunset, it was Higgs’ assignment to crawl into a two-man basket tethered by cable to the front of a truck. Armed with binoculars, topographical maps and a telephone, he would fly high (up to 5,000 feet) over the battlefield and report troop activity to his commanders on the ground. Usually, he was with a French observer who was relaying similar information to his superiors. As if flying unprotected over the battlefield wasn’t dangerous enough, the sausage-shaped gasbags were filled with highly flammable hydrogen, making them susceptible to fires started by the hot rounds coming from guns below. They were sitting-ducks and favorite targets for the biplanes that attacked from behind the clouds overhead. Four times over the course of four months, Higgs was shot down, jumping out of the basket and praying that the parachute stuffed on the outside of the balloon basket and harnessed to his back would deploy. It was anything but a peaceful trip to the ground. Higgs noted: “We were wearing parachute harnesses with a rope attached to the ‘chute that was stuffed into a bag hanging outside the basket. Our weight would pull the ‘chutes out of the bags. They were supposed to open when we dropped 300 feet. It takes nearly five seconds to fall 300 feet from a standing start, and that is an awefully long time to wonder whether you are going to live or die. “The parachute opened with a considerable jolt, but it was a very pleasant feeling.” Higgs’ got rewarded for jumping out of a burning and falling balloon. Each time, he was awarded 48 hours of leave in Paris to “settle his nerves and get ready to go back up again.” Which he did all the way up to Nov. 11, 1918, when the bells of Paris signaled armistice between the warring nations.   “The end was an amazing thing,” Higgs said. “I had been hearing guns roaring around and under me, and sometimes, enemy shells and bombs bursting in our camp, for almost a year,”. “THEN --- Sharp at the stroke of 11am , on November 11, they all just stopped. There were no birds or animals in the war zones to make the usual noises, and no machines moved. “I found myself listening for just any sound, but there was none.” This story comes from the Alumni News section of North Carolina State’s College of Engineering newspaper.

You see, at the end of World War I, thousands of war memorials of every size were built in local communities across the country to honor and commemorate the service and sacrifice of their local sons and daughters. Over the century, exposure to the elements, neglect and even vandalism have taken their toll on these national treasures.   So on July 15, 2016 - a year ago - the  World War One Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum & Library teamed up and launched this national matching grant challenge to inspire community action and to seed the rescue of these memorials.   A year later - this month on July 15, 2017 - the grant application period ended and all submission were received. Now - to evaluate the submissions -  a Review Committee has been assembled. They read, review and rate the submissions based on common evaluation rubric. The Committee will then make recommendations to the program leadership on awarding  projects matching grants. Their recommendations will go to the program leadership in late August. We are proud to announce the members of the 100 Cities / 100 Memorials Review Committee. They include: US WWI Centennial Commissioner John Monahan from the American Legion US WWI Centennial Commissioner Dr. Matthew Naylor from the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City CPT Lynn Rolf who is with the VFW - The  Veterans of Foreign Wars Donna Crisp  who is with the DAR - The Daughter of the American Revolution Michael Knapp who is with the ABMC - The American Battle Monuments Commission Dr. Mark Levitch - with National Gallery of Art, and founder of the World War I Memorial Inventory Project Eugene P. Hough - Executive Director of Saving Hallowed Ground And our own Joe Weishaar the winning designer for the National WWI Memorial at Pershing Park in Washington DC The members of this amazing group have volunteered their precious time to help us review and evaluate the submissions and we thank them. But most of all we need to give a huge shout out to the teams that have taken on these restoration and conservation projects.   These projects are a really big deal that require research, community interaction, permissions from cities and counties, plans, schedules, budgets, fund raising, partnerships - it’s a huge dedication from each submitting team. The scope, the quality, variety, and most of all the deeply held commitment that these submitting teams have demonstrated is wonderful and honestly when you read them often quite humbling. We want to thank and congratulate every submitting team on the fantastic projects that they have presented us with. We will be profiling the submitting teams and their projects on the show over the coming months - BUT you can learn more about the program right now - at ww1cc.org/100memorials or follow the link in the podcast notes.

More than five million tonnes of plastic waste ends up in the oceans every year. The abandoned fishing gear and bags and bottles left on beaches can smother birds and sea life. Now there is also evidence that the small particles created as the plastics are eroded by the waves and sunlight are eaten by all kinds of marine species. Roland Pease is on a beach in Devon in south-west England with professor Richard Thompson of Plymouth University finding the plastic debris before it gets into the sea. Professor of Ecotoxicology at Exeter University, Tamara Galloway, talks about her discoveries of microplastics in plankton and other species. Professor Tony Andrady of North Carolina University in the US, describes his paper that estimated the amount of plastic waste that is finding its way into the marine environment, and Dr Nancy Wallace of the US Marine Debris Program explains how they organise beach clean ups and raise awareness of the problem amongst the public.
