1987 homicide inspired change in cold-case policy

Charged with murder more than 20 years ago in the shooting death of a neighbor, Tho Minh Quach’s bail was revoked after he failed to appear in court for a hearing as his 1988 trial approached.

Now, after living openly in Boston for two decades, Quach never will stand trial on the murder charge after a Harris County judge’s ruling that the law missed its chance to prosecute because of a clerical error and a lack of effort to find him over the years.

It is the kind of case that makes prosecutors shake their heads, and is the foundation of the policies and procedures being developed by the recently recast cold case unit of the Harris County district attorney’s office.

Russell Turbeville, who heads the division, said Quach’s case, with all of its missteps , is the example prosecutors will look to when going after cold cases.

“The law is that law enforcement has to make reasonable, diligent efforts to apprehend even a fugitive suspect,” Turbeville said. “Once the defendant has been charged, they have a right to a speedy trial and if there’s a significant delay, the court looks at four factors and does a balancing test.”

Quach’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said his client was defending himself when he shot Loan Van Tran, 36, in the head about 4 a.m. on Nov. 29, 1987, in an apartment in the 7800 block of Tierwester. Investigators at the time said the pair had been drinking when they began arguing. Quach, then 35, surrendered shortly after the shooting.

He was charged with murder and released on $10,000 bail. After receiving several threats, he moved to Boston to live with relatives. He continued to make court appearances in Houston, until his case was put on a docket and no one notified him, DeGuerin said. Eventually his bail was revoked and he was listed as a fugitive.

Even visited Vietnam
Through the years, Quach lived openly in Boston, giving his real name and birth date to authorities several times for traffic tickets. He also asked for permission from the federal government to visit his native Vietnam, and passed through Customs during his international travels.

Investigators initially were befuddled in their attempts to locate Quach because his date of birth, Jan. 1, 1952, was incorrectly entered into police computers as “11/19/52.”

Ten years later, the error was fixed and the computer matched two men with the description — one in Los Angeles, and Quach in Boston.

Houston officials asked both cities to investigate. But police on both coasts put the case on the back burner, and police here did not follow up.

“Everybody dropped the ball on that case,” Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos said recently.

The open warrant for murder finally caught up with Quach in 2008, and he was brought back to stand trial.

“That case was snakebit at every level,” said Assistant District Attorney Bill Exley, who led the prosecution.

DeGuerin argued that because Quach had not tried to conceal his identity, police had missed their window to prosecute him.

State District Judge Denise Collins agreed, calling the case a fiasco, a disappointment and a mistake that she hopes is not repeated.

It still haunts prosecutors.

Supernatural vs. Twilight?

Look, we know this isn't huge news, but it's worth noting that there is a particular Supernatural Season 6 episode title you guys might be interested in.

Yes, episode 6 of the upcoming new season is called "Live Free or Twihard." We assume that this will one of Supernatural's lighter, more comedic episodes that the show does so damn well. Sam and Dean might just find themselves up to their ears in obsessive, romantically-deprived fans of some sort of Twilight movie parody.

While this news wasn't announced at Comic-Con last month, Jensen Ackles did express his, ahem, feelings toward the Twilight saga. "There's a lot of vampires going on these days," he said. "I'd like to just show people how it's done properly. Cut this pasty, waify s**t out and let's just kill some people."

Popstar David Bowie 'denies Lady GaGa collaboration'

Popstar David Bowie has denied reports that he has collaborated with Lady GaGa on a track for her next studio album.
In accordance with MTV News, rumours began swirling last week when a supposed 'confirmation of recorded music' document appeared online featuring Bowie's name on a listing of the 'Bad Romance' singer's collaborators.
The scanned file alleged that Lady GaGa had caused the 'Rebel Rebel' singer on a track called 'Vinyl'.
However, Bowie has since taken up his official website to show that the entire story was a cleverly devised hoax.
GaGa has largely kept the details of her next studio album secret, but it is likely to launch in 2011. (Written By Camille) Ugly Betty Season 4 DVD Boxset

Kenny F'n Powers to combine The Office Season 7?

Though fans of The Office dvd set will know that Michael Scott is irreplaceable, as Steve Carell exits, Dunder Mifflin's office seasons dvd and the show's plotlines beg for a new leader honcho character. But who might it be?

EW's Michael Ausiello reports that the makers are doing your research for a new cast member, and they're trying to HBO stars Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) and Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords).

Though sources make sure these actors are under consideration for a new role, the Office seasons dvd showrunner Paul Lieberstein cautions against making cursory conclusions.

"We haven't settled just who will lead," says Lieberstein.

May it be a fresh cast member or perhaps seasoned veteran rising up to fill in, it's clear that The Office dvd has some big shoes to fill.

Benefits together with health and fitness: no longer a nicety but a requirement

Administrators realize that stress is a barrio to motivating the labor force. Additionally they recognize that stress can result in stress-related illnesses, for example blood pressure levels, ulcers, and fatigue. These illnesses lead to higher benefits costs for the company as employees more frequently use heath care treatment benefit.
A number of companies use nontraditional benefits and perks to help employees overcome stress. At every one of its 20 buildings at it 200-acre campus in Raleigh, North Carolina, SAS Institute provides coffee break rooms stocked with free soda, fresh fruit, M&Ms and pastries. SAS employs a full-time ergonomics specialist to select office furniture that could reduce physical stress and strain. SAS provides a free health clinic and also an eldercare program in order to employees locate nursing care facilities for aging parents.
Many organisations provide benefits that help employees manage the stresses and demands of balancing work and nonwork. Cigna Insurance Company offers employees the option of placing take-out meals orders with the company chef. Employees who dont have the energy to arrange meals after a long or difficult workday can take home to a prepared meal. The company also offers an exercise physiologist to help employees suffering from stress.
Companies are also offering wellness and exercise programs to assist employees alleviate stress and enhance their health too. Coca-Cola found that employees who participated in wellness and exercise programs used fewer sick days and tended to be more productive on their jobs.
Are companies providing these services to look good to the community or because they are financially successful? It is shrew business operations. One example is, it is estimated that SAS turnover rate is 4 percent compared to the industry norm of a lot more than 20 percent each and every year. While the free health clinic costs $1 million to operate, it is $500 000 less than the expenses the organization would realize if employees were treated elsewhere.

SWOT analysis

SWOT analysis also called situation analysis. It is the abbreviation of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We plan to open a coffee bar in Chongqing Communication Institute and the following analyses focus on the four aspects.StrengthsWe plan to open a coffee bar combined with selling some cakes and ice-cream. The characteristic of our bar is that we sell fresh ground coffee; our bar is the only place for this service. What’s more, the comfortable environment is another high light. Our bar will provide comfortable, quiet, bright place with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake for all the customers to have a rest,study,thinking and chat with friends. Moreover, almost most employees are the students of our college; they will bring their friends and classmates to our coffee bar. The last but not least is that the location is very available for all the consumers. It is located by the only way into and out of school building. Both teachers and students can come here to study after class. All the aspects will make us have more confidence to open the new coffee bar on campus.WeaknessesFirst, we lack the skill of doing fresh ground coffee so we have to recruit a person for this field. Second, we don’t have facilities for doing cakes and ice-cream. We have to do a standby plan to solve this problem. Third, the competitors are very popular with the students while our bar is a new one; we have to compete for the consumer resources. Our school is far from the raw material market, this is not good for purchasing materials. Fourth, all of us are students; we don’t have a strong finance support when competing with others. We need to consider the above weaknesses which would destroy our bar if we don’t put much attention to them.OpportunitiesNow, our college hasn’t any fresh ground coffee bar. The existed competitors only have instant coffee; it is a good opportunity for us to fill the vacancy and to satisfy the market needs. While selling coffee to consumers, we can sell cakes and ice-cream to them at the same time. There are so many potential consumers, and this is a huge market. We can do fresh ground coffee by renting facilities. Whilst, a very famous patisserie provides cakes for us to sell and they would like to accept the unsold cakes. All these factors provide a good chance for us to open a coffee bar on campus.ThreatsFirst, the exited competitors are franchisee of reputation shops. The franchisers have given them the unified training. They are easier to accept by consumers. Second, after we have begun our selling point of doing fresh ground coffee, others will emulate our mode and maybe there will be a specialized ice-cream shop to attract parts of students groups. Third, because of lacking skill, we have to recruit a specific person to do fresh ground coffee for us. And we should have a standby plan in case of the employee’s resignation. Fourth, everything is changing so quickly so that we have to change our services to satisfy the tempo. Fifth, we also need to focus our attention to the new recruiting policy of the institute, such as whether it will increase new students. This trend is a challenge. Sixth, to the consumers, the fresh ground coffee which can be replaced by instant coffee and milk tea is much expensive. All these points will threat our operation.

News about Reno 911! Star

On Tuesday, at the TCA Press Tour, FX GM John Landgraf made a few announcements, but none pleased us more here at IGN than the news that they'd ordered a comedy pilot from Reno 911! season 1 dvd's Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant called Alabama. Now before you start thinking that Alabama is about wild-eyed southerners, or even "The Inbred Brothers" of Lennon and Garant's sketch from The State, it is, in fact, an comedy set in outer space; set aboard the United Nations peacekeeping spaceship: THE USS ALABAMA. We the viewer will be catching up with the crew six years into their seven year mission to maintain peace and enforce treaties between planets in their jurisdiction: Sector 187-G.
The Following questions are a view to LENNON
Q:would they want you to change to Galaxy Nuts or something?
A:Oooh. Now that you pitched it, I don't hate the idea of calling it Galaxy Nuts. Hang on. Let me get over to my computer and just a quick "find/replace" and now working title Galaxy Nuts. Yeah, if we were doing this show for a network it would not be happening. As proven by our history with network TV. In fact, there was a show like this that the Always Sunny in Philadelphia guys did called Boldly Going Nowhere - which was aStar Trek complete series spoof for FOX that didn't go anywhere. It was quite funny actually.
Q:In the time since you started on cable, cable has now become the place to be. The place where actors and writers are dying to work. What's your take on the new cable landscape?
A:If you look at cable, hands down, anything ground-breaking that's happened on TV in the past ten, fifteen years from The Sopranos seasons 1-6 dvd collection to Mad Men box setto Breaking Bad dvd 1-3 has really all come up out of cable. We have been lured away from cable, which honestly is the only place we belong given our sensibilities. I mean we did an episode of Reno 911! dvd which was a note-for-note parody of Waiting for Godot, where Junior and I are waiting for Bush's motorcade to come by. And that's the kind of thing we want to be doing. Our forays into network TV have been disasters. I think that's why were so pleased right now to be working with FX. You can say that network TV isn't that great, but that's not true all the time. I think what you can say is that things made by committees often don't turn out that good. And the bigger committee you have making your piece of art, the shoddier the outcome will be. Because, ultimately, you can't please everyone. (Edit by Camille)

Love

It was Christmas 2009. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gifts giving.Each day the children produced some new wonder- string of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and German bells made from the wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained aloof, watching from after, seemingly miles away, I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would appeal to her. But nothing did.The day of gift giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special pouch for her, red and green with white lace. I wanted every much to see her smile. She opened the package so slowly and carefully, I waited but she turned away.After school the children left in little groups, but she lingered, watching them go out the door. I sat down to catch my breath, hardly aware of what was happening when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. “For me?” I asked with a weak smile. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and gingerly opened it. There inside was a good dvd box set. In a flash I knew-she bought the desperate housewives seasons 1-6 dvd collection for her mother, a mother she would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear childish joys or sorrows. A mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.I held out the hands. She stepped back then as if to see that all was well. I looked down at the dvd set, then back at the giver, “Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that moment, I became her mother for she had given me the greatest gift of all herself.
Here I want to say no matter what gift the girl gives, the dvds contains her love to her mother. So please don’t look down up this little gift (such as the girls TV Series Boxset). (Written by Camille)

Matt Roush's thoughts about rescue me, the big bang theory

Question: I was wondering what you think about this season of Rescue Me so far.

Matt Roush: I'm enjoying the final season to a point, but I'm also rather relieved that Rescue Me is nearing its endgame a year from now . I've come this far with these characters, so I'll stay with it to the end. Rescue Me is still entertaining.

Question: With the ending of Rescue Me in sight,I have not been able to find a show on TV that has the right amount of comedy and drama.

Matt Roush: Justified is as dark as Rescue Me, and its flawed hero is almost well-adjusted by Tommy Gavin standards, but the mix of comedy and drama is very strong. I also recommend Nurse Jackie, the Soprano.

Question: I loved the Doctor Who finale with all its twists and turns. But what I loved most was the ever- elusive River Song. She needs her own show pronto. It would be nice to have a sci-fi show with a strong female lead. What do you think are the chances?

Matt Roush: Actually, wouldn't a female Doctor be a nice change one of these iterations? Sci-fi shows in recent years have been much more generous in creating strong female roles, from Farscape to Battlestar Galactica to you name it, but with River Song, I think her elusive nature is best played out in small and mysterious doses. More might actually be less where she's concerned, although every time she appeared on Doctor Who last season, I enjoyed it.

Question: I absolutely loved Wil Wheaton on The Big Bang Theory. I even enjoyed watching him on Leverage. Is there any chance of seeing Wil on Big Bang or Leverage again or on any other shows for that matter?

Matt Roush: He was just in an episode of Eureka, so Wil is keeping busy. Don't know if he could return to Leverage or Eureka—haven't watched the latter yet, being wrapped up in the TCA doings lately, and ironically having almost no free time available to watch current TV while out in Los Angeles—but with The Big Bang Theory, he is very much a part of that show's ongoing "mythology," so to speak, as Sheldon's nemesis.

Lost, Glee Win TV Critics Awards

The Television Critics Association Awards were presented Saturday night, and it was a big year for Glee. The breakout hit won three awards, including Program of the Year, Outstanding New Program and Individual Achievement in Comedy – the latter for the ever-awesome Jane Lynch, for her work as Sue Sylvester.
Modern Family Won Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, while there was a rare tie in the Outstanding Achievement in Drama category – with both Breaking Bad and Lost taking home the honor.Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof gave a very funny speech, in which he read from responses on Twitter he'd gotten from those who absolutely hated the polarizing Lost finale.
Also in the "great speech" category was Tom Hanks, who accepted for his HBO miniseries, The Pacific - hearing Hanks drop an F-bomb or two (as Lindelof did) was certainly an amusing highlight. The latest news from http://www.dvdorderonline.com/articles/news-1806-Lost-Glee-Win-TV-Critics-Awards.html
