D.C. District Court Decision Allows Cases to Progress
CONTACT: email@example.com
January 2, 2009, New York, NY - On December 17, 2008, the government attempted to halt the cases of approximately 20 detainees the Defense Department had cleared for transfer out of Guantanamo. This afternoon, the court rejected the government's motion to stay the cases of these detainees. The ruling, from Judge Thomas Hogan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, will allow lawyers for the detainees to go forward with attempting to seek release from detention for these individuals.
The government had argued in its motion that these men had already been "afforded meaningful relief" because the government had agreed that they should be transferred out of Guantanamo, even though they remain detained. As recognized by the Supreme Court in Boumediene and by District Court Judge Ricardo Urbina in a case involving the 17 Uighurs remaining at Guantánamo, a core facet of the fundamental right of habeas is the ability of a federal court to order release in cases of unlawful detention.
"An administrative order that says that they are free to go is not relief after seven years of imprisonment. These men need to be released from prison, and this relief is long overdue," said Emi MacLean, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights.
The government had attempted to stay some cases for detainees who cannot be sent to their home countries because of a fear of torture or persecution or because they are stateless and do not have countries to go to. There are approximately 50-60 detainees at Guantánamo who cannot be sent to their home countries for fear of torture or persecution or because of statelessness. These include the 17 Uighurs from China as well as men from Azerbaijan, Algeria, Libya, Palestine, Russia, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan.
For more information, please visit www.ccrjustice.org. More information regarding the men who cannot be transferred from Guantánamo to their home countries - including in-depth profiles and frequently asked questions - can be found at CCR's Guantanamo refugee page.
CCR has led the legal battle over Guantanamo for the last six years - sending the first ever habeas attorney to the base and sending the first attorney to meet with a former CIA "ghost detainee." CCR has been responsible for organizing and coordinating more than 500 pro bono lawyers across the country in order to represent the men at Guantanamo, ensuring that nearly all have the option of legal representation. CCR represented the detainees with co-counsel in the most recent argument before the Supreme Court on December 5, 2007.
The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change.

SANYO Shows It Knows the Projector Market at InfoComm 2009
-Exhibiting advanced knowledge of Image Quality, Ease of Use, and Networking for a WIDESCREEN Nation
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070619/LATU018LOGO )
"SANYO has been a leader in presentation technology for a number of years, but this is only because we are able to develop our products and create technology to meet the needs of the industry," says
Shifting Market Trends — Widescreen
With the growing demand for widescreen projectors in the market, SANYO is utilizing its knowledge of the widescreen aspect ratio projection to create new, cost-effective projectors to meet this rapidly expanding need. The shift of the market to widescreen can be attributed to a number of things, such as the fact that the widescreen aspect ratio is thought to allow a more natural view, allowing more to be seen at once, and the shift to digital television where many shows will be broadcast in widescreen. Most new laptop and desktop monitors also utilize the widescreen aspect ratio.
The widescreen aspect ratio also opens up further possibilities as the wider screen allows picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes to be easier to see, enhancing the view with product demonstrations or allowing a television conference call to show the presentation and the presenter side-by-side.
SANYO's projector lineup includes a number of projectors to meet the widescreen demand, and the projectors are suitable for any number of applications, such as classrooms, offices or even for those on-the-go.
SANYO Knows…Image Quality
Last year, SANYO released the first QuaDrive(TM) projector featuring an additional LCD panel for more accurate color reproduction and enhanced brightness. This year, SANYO is showing an even brighter QuaDrive(TM) projector, at 12,000 lumens. Not only is the projector brighter, but the engine also allows the projector to retain both rich and realistic color. With the QuaDrive(TM) optical engine technology, there is no need to sacrifice rich color as the need for higher brightness increases.
SANYO Knows…Ease of use
SANYO's recently announced projectors incorporate an "Easy Set-up Function", which include three main functions: Auto Input Signal Search, Auto Vertical Keystone Correction, and Input Guidance Function. The Auto Input Signal Search automatically detects the input signal and makes the necessary internal settings. The Auto Vertical Keystone Correction function automatically detects its position angle and corrects for any image distortion. Finally, the Guidance Function displays on-screen connection instructions when there is no input signal detected, enabling easy setup for expert users and novices alike.
In addition to set-up functions, SANYO has also designed a number of ways to ease the burden of maintenance. This includes the use of its unique "Active Maintenance Filter" and "Lamp Selection System", found in a number of SANYO's projectors. The Active Maintenance Filter contains ten filters on a scrolling cartridge, reducing the amount of time needed for maintenance to check and replace filters, as it automatically detects clogs to the airflow and will advance the cartridge to a new filter — advantageous for projectors mounted on hard-to-reach ceilings. Also, the Lamp Selection System provides double the lamp hours without the need for lamp replacement, eliminating the need to stock up spare lamps far in advance, meeting a variety of budgeting needs. Once one lamp is fully used, the next is already loaded and can be used for seamless presentations, extending the projection life. Coin screws are used on the lamp section to facilitate replacement without any tools.
Furthermore, many of SANYO's projectors have the most advanced lens shifting systems available today. With the ability to lens-shift, placement of the projector is more flexible. Some projectors are even able to be installed at any vertical angle, allowing projection on unusual surfaces, such as floors or even ceilings.
SANYO Knows…Networking
Most SANYO projectors either have built-in or options for operation and management on a network. As market needs change, a growing number of wireless network-compatible projectors are being launched, in addition to the already network-compatible wired projectors that SANYO has made available for years. SANYO also offers a unique network-based projector management system, PJ Network Manager software, that allows a single administrator to monitor the operating conditions of up to 200 projectors on a single network, greatly reducing multiple projector management time. By allowing administration, maintenance and management control functions to be easily accessed, the administrator can login, turn power on/off, switch input signals, project from remote locations, as well as view current lamp conditions, projector usage time, and even confirm if the projector is working or not. An automatic maintenance notification function sends notices to preset email addresses in the event of projector problems, resulting in faster maintenance response time.
In addition to the wired networks, SANYO also knows wireless networking. With its uncompressed HD DATA WIRELESS transmission adapter developed to deliver the highest image quality possible without delay even from longer distances, SANYO provides simple, cable-less projection without sacrificing quality.
Furthermore, SANYO also utilizes technology to stream video wirelessly from PCs to projectors, allowing playback to occur on the projector to allow seamless playback. With the industry's first IEEE802.11n high-speed wireless LAN capability, wireless projection is made simple, with the projector easy to find by any computer running Windows Vista. Once the projector has been found, it is as easy to set up as a click of the mouse.
Finally, SANYO provides its "Simple Wireless Setting" via USB memory, which automatically connects the computer to the projector wirelessly when the projector is set to receive in "Network: Simple" mode. With just one click, the wireless LAN settings are provided and the content from the computer is able to be projected.

How do you pass the time spent breastfeeding? It is A LOT of time every day, so I was just curious. Perhaps it is a combination of some of the following options, but just pick the one you do most. Any recommendations on how to use the time? Any unique things you've done while breastfeeding?
Poll: What do you do while breastfeeding?
I picked watch tv because I do that also, but I mostly play on my iphone.
I watch tv and talk to my LO. I am getting so sick of television tho!! You can only watch so many episodes of A baby story. LOL day time tv sucks they show the same things over and over! UGH. I guess I could start reading, expand my horizons! LOL
Belle Proud Mama to Vince, Izzy, Angie and
Matthew arrived on 4/8/09 at 337 pm 8lbs 3 oz 20.5 inches!
Mostly I watch tv or talk to Jake. At night I sometimes fall asleep in th erecliner with him and wake up with a stiff neck.
I usually either get on the laptop, talk to him or catch up on some sleep. depending on the time of day. When he's wide awake then I spend the time talking to him and holding his little hands, but if it's in the early afternoon when he's ready for a nap or around 7pm (when he also starts to get sleepy again), or if it's sometime in the middle of the night- then I will lay down with him while he nurses and usually we both fall asleep. If he's not ready to sleep but really isn't in the mood to be talked to and played with then I get online.
i watch t.v ..flip through channels..i wouldnt say i do this to occupy my time while BF b.c BF really doesnt bother me that much..i would most likely be watching T.V regardless...but i do know that when im really tired while she feeds i go to sleep...and then ill wake up and realize its been SO long and she's sleep too...its funny!..she's sleep on my boppy and im sleep propped up in the bed with a boob out! LOL!...
my princess known as:
A'Mya Patrice T. - D.O.B- april 3rd 2009
I used to be able to read, but that's harder now that Noah is so nosy. LOL. The TV is not too far away, but far enough that if I turn the volume down a bit, he's not interested. Occasionally I can talk to him, but he usually doesn't like me to talk if he's really tired. Otherwise, he's so nosy that he'll pull off the breast to state at me while I talk. lol.
Veronica - Mommy to Noah Daniel (11-1-08) and Lydia Elizabeth (2-10-10)
I co-sleep so I chose sleep. She is almost 1 and still nurses through the night. During the day I work & pump for her. In the evenings I just hang out with her the two times she nurses before bed time. So I guess all of the above...but sleep is my favorite thing to do now since I never get to do it! :-)
Mother of Amber 06/13/2008, Ashley 03/25/2010 & One on the way 04/30/2012
Natural child birth and worked full time & breast fed till 1 year!
I read... A lot of the time, I read out loud to Beatrice. So far, we've made it through:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
And now we're in the middle of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
But when I pump, I watched tv online while Beatrice naps. I've gotten through all three seasons of Arrested Development and I'm up to date on Lost!
i study. I prop thia so I can breastfeed no hands and study on my laptop. the computer wasn't an option, outside of babycenter, and I spend very little time on this forum
All of the above and talk on the phone.

|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs), melted and cooled
|3 , beaten
|Ground mace/Nutmeg
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Lemon peel
|1 Teaspoon, grated
|All purpose flour
|5 1⁄2 Cup (88 tbs) (Unsifted)
Cook potato in boiling water until very soft (about 20 minutes).
Drain, reserving 3/4 cup cooking water; cool to 110°.
Mash or beat potato until smooth, measure 1/2 cup, and add milk and the 1 tablespoon butter.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in cooled cooking water.
Stir in condensed milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, mace, lemon peel, and potato mixture.
Gradually beat in enough of the flour (about 4 1/2 cups) to make a stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto floured board; knead until smooth and satiny (5 to 20 minutes), adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Turn dough over in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes).
Punch dough down; knead briefly on a lightly floured board to release air.
Shape and bake according to following directions to make 1 large loaf, 2 smaller loaves, or 24 buns.
For 1 large loaf, butter and dust with flour a 10-inch tube pan or a 2 1/2 to 3-quart mold.
For a tube pan, roll dough into a 16-inch-long rope and wind it into pan so that ends meet; pinch ends to seal.
For a tubeless pan, shape dough into a ball with a smooth, rounded top arid set smooth side down in pan.
Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 45 minutes).
Bake in a 325° oven for about 50 minutes for tube pan, 60 minutes for tubeless pan, or until bread is well browned and begins to pull away from pan sides.
Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then turn out on rack.
If you wish, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
For 2 small loaves, butter two 9 by 5-inch loaf pans or 1 1/2-quart molds and dust with flour.
Divide dough in half and shape into loaves or balls; place in pans.
Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 30 minutes).
Bake in a 325° oven for about 40 minutes or until bread is well browned and pulls away from pan sides.
Cool as for large loaf.
For sweet bread buns, divide dough into 24 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place balls about 3 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Or place each ball in a buttered and flour-dusted 2 1/2-inch muffin cup.
Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 20 minutes).
Bake in a 400° oven for 15 minutes or until browned.
Cool on rack.

Re: Caroline's Live Scoring Thread v 11
She's playing Maria again in Korea in 3 weeks.
I wouldnt take too much out of this exo.
Caroline made some strange decisions, starting late in 2011. Instead of slowly integrating some aggression in her game, she just started going for too much on her forehand side, and was just giving away matches that she used to fight for.
That seemed to last most of 2012. A lot of lost opportunities.
But she made 3 finals at the end of the year. So lets see how it goes when the matches matter. She is playing very strong tournaments to start the year, so she will have to play good to have decent results.
I still think she can come all the way back. Its been done before. People gave up on Sharapova when she was losing to Oudin, then 1st round AO to Kirilenko. She did it. It takes hard work & a champion's mind
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter....
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there
Enjoy This Moment!!
HEALTH and HAPPINESS to EVERYONE

Jifiti Lets You Teleport Products To Your Friends…Sorta
The idea for Jifiti came about because Shaul Weisband — one of the creators of the app and company behind it — wanted to "teleport" gifts to friends.

Mobile World Congress 2012 Flashback: Jerzy Drozd Basses (Video)
Up a steep hill, far away from the hustle and bustle of the Plaça d'Espanya in Barcelona is a small Luthier shop called Jerzy Drozd Basses.

NSAs 'responsible' for athletes' sad form
THE BAD showing of Filipino athletes overseas can be blamed mainly on the unsound programs of national sports associations (NSAs), according to triathlon chief Tom Carrasco.
Carrasco said the country cannot improve its campaign in international competitions if NSAs, by themselves, do not act to correct past mistakes in talent recruitment, budgeting and training processes.
"You can say that the responsibility over winning and losing in international sports competitions lies on the efforts of the NSAs to develop their athletes, as much as the POC leadership," Carrasco said.
"It is us who make the foundations because the athletes come from us," added the president of the Triathlon Association of the Philippines who is eyeing the post of POC chair against incumbent Monico Puentevella in the Philippine Olympic Committee polls on Nov. 30.
Carrasco and many-time Southeast Asian Games shooting champion bared their thoughts on the state of local sports during yesterday's Scoop sa Kamayan session on Padre Faura, Manila.
Sixty NSAs, 40 of them voting members of the POC, conduct the identification, recruitment and training of the national athletes.
Carrasco said next year will be "a pivotal point" for Philippine sports as the country prepares for its campaigns in the Myanmar Southeast Asian Games, 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the 2014 Naning Youth Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, former boxing chief Manny Lopez, who is running for re-election as first vice president, said that if given a new mandate he would prioritize the establishment of a POC Olympic Academy to help propagate principles of Olympism here.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is happy to see Mario Balotelli at AC Milan.
Balotelli is the talk of Italy after his brace on debut in victory over Udinese.
"He seems to have already changed his image," Prandelli said. "He was smiling and laughing a lot when he arrived.
"He's already found that serenity which he lost in England, where he didn't play a lot and he was forced to deal with a lot of non-football issues.
"Now he'll get more regular games and he'll thus find form. It all depends on him. Mario can only get better as he has margins of improvements to make.
"I said that we were obliged to believe in him because players like him don't pop up very often."

Dave Perry, Senior Analyst, Canadian Defense & Foreign Affairs Institute
The Defense Department depends on its partners in the F-35 coalition to keep the price per copy of the aircraft down. But one of those partners may be having second thoughts and is even thinking about specific alternatives. Dave Perry is senior analyst for the Canadian Defense and Foreign Affairs Institute, and author of "Putting the Armed Back Into the Canadian Armed Forces: Improving Defence Procurement in Canada."

Robert Farley, assistant professor, UK Patterson School
"Cut it some slack" is what Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall asks critics of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. Kendall made those comments Thursday at a ceremony marking the delivery of two F-35s to Australia. The F-35 isn't likely to go away soon, but the buzz about what would replace it may be getting a little louder. Robert Farley is assistant professor at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce. He writes in The National Interest about five options for replacing the F-35. He said on In Depth with Francis Rose that one choice is restarting the F-22 line.

The F-35 gets good and bad news
The F-35 is back in business, at least on a limited basis. The military is allowing some flying capabilities. It was grounded back in June when part of the engine of a U.S. Air Force F-35 A-model broke apart and ripped through the top of a jet as it prepared for take-off. As a result, the plane will not fly in the Farnborough International Airshow in England.

Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, Program Director, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program
The shrinking Defense Department budget has the Pentagon looking for alternatives to fund its most expensive program. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program has faced years of delays and skyrocketing costs. Now, the Pentagon has a new strategy to control the F-35's bottom line. It is asking the builders to put skin in the game. Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan is the F-35 program director. He described the F-35's progress as slow but steady, when he joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive.

Rob Levinson, Senior Defense Analyst, Bloomberg Government
The most expensive defense program ever, the F-35 fighter plane, is running into more problems. The Government Accountability Office says software delays could force the Marine Corps to push back its roll out scheduled for next year. What's more, the auditors say the Defense Department will have to spend more than $12 billion annually on the program for the next 22 years.

Cook Landscape Products is proud to offer and fully stock a dark rich ½? screened loam and compost fully recycled from stumps, grass clippings and leaves. These materials are generated in Upton each year and are tested fully by the UMass testing laboratory. Test results are available upon request.
A precise mixture of fine sand, organic subsoil and composted grass and leaves makes up the ½" screened loam. Once all of the ingredients are mixed they are run through a screening plant to separate any sticks, rocks or other matter that is not ½". By running these mixed materials through the screening plant we create a rich, organic fluffy soil that will be suitable for new lawn installations, existing lawns, vegetable gardens, flower beds and potted plants. For those jobs that require specific mixtures of ½" loam and ½" compost, we have your answer. Call for custom blends.
Our ½" screened compost is made on site in Upton. The ingredients used are always recycled grass clippings and leaves. Compost cannot be processed before it has broken down to a dark, rich combination of the above. This all takes time and labor as materials must be turned to evenly disperse the natural heat created in the composting process. Specific uses for the compost are over seeding existing lawns, vegetable gardens flower beds and potted plants. Sometimes jobs require a mixture of ½" compost and ½" loam. We can create those mixtures for you. Call for custom blends.

Yonas - Don't Give a Damn
Artist: Yonas
Producer: Sean Ross
Album: The Transition
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 7 votes )
When you've worked as hard as Yonas to get where you are today, you deserve to cut loose and enjoy yourself for an afternoon. On Don't Give a Damn, a mixtape cut newly released as a single via the artist's new 1st Round Records home, he does just that; after shaking his head at the sad state of the world around him ( "Who the hell gonna do the right thing in a world full of trouble? / I feel like I'm surrounded."), he resolves to set the tough questions aside for the time being and enjoy some (belated) summer fun. Sean Ross handles production duties, backing the artist's devil-may-care bars with a catchy synth arrangement likely to continue running through your head well after the song's finished. In Nat Prinzi's official visuals, Yonas cuts loose at a pool party so well-stocked with beautiful women that I forgot to wonder how the f**k he was able to rap underwater without drowning. (Talk about breath control.) Originally featured on Booth-hosted street album The Transition, this cut can be purchased now on iTunes via the download link above.

Violin Concerto (Strauss)
Richard Strauss's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor, Op. 8, was written in 1881-1882.
This violin concerto was written during the composer's teenage years while he was still attending his last two years of school, and is less distinctive than many of his later orchestral works. Despite this it contains some bold and inventive solo writing as well as occasional passages that hint at the composer's mature harmonic style.[1] Though written in the romantic tradition of its time, it hints at the young composer's reverence of masters of the preceding classical period, especially Mozart and Beethoven. In 1880 he had first begun to turn to large scale compositions during a tempestuous compositional interval after having decided to devote his life to composition, including a symphony in D minor (AV 69), which was well received. The following year he began to sketch the Violin Concerto in D minor, among several other compositions. Although it is today rarely performed, it received encouraging reviews, including the following by Karl Klindworth from May 1882, before its premiere:[2]
So far as the form of the pieces is concerned there is little to find fault with, but I could wish for content of greater significance before the young composer embarks on a public career. Even so, I like the violin concerto best, and I should be delighted if it turned out to be effective and viable enough to banish Bruch's G minor from our concert halls.
The work was dedicated to Benno Walter, the concertmaster of the Munich Court Orchestra, and also Strauss's violin teacher and relative.[3][4] (Benno Walter was the son of (Johann) Georg Walter, and the first cousin of Richard Strauss's father Franz Strauss, and hence Richard's cousin once removed; Richard called him "cousin",[5] but he is sometimes referred to as his "uncle".[3])
The Violin Concerto was first performed publicly on 5 December 1882,[3][6] in the Bösendorfersaal of the Herrengasse in Vienna.[5] The soloist was the dedicatee Benno Walter.[6] Strauss himself played his own piano reduction of the orchestral parts.[6] Walter and Strauss played this violin-piano version again in Munich on 8 February 1883.[5]
The concerto's debut with violin and orchestra had to wait another seven years. On 4 March 1890, in Cologne, Benno Walter played with an orchestra conducted by Franz Wüllner.[7]
The first time Strauss himself conducted the concerto was on 17 February 1896, in the Liszt-Verein in Leipzig.[7] The soloist was the 23-year old (Gustav) Alfred Krasselt (3 June 1872 - 27 September 1908), concert master of Munich's Kaim Orchestra (later the Munich Philharmonic).[5][8][9]
The composition consists of three movements:

- Lento, ma non troppo
- Rondo. Presto

Perversion of the law - background to the Dennis Ferguson case
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 11, 2003
CONVICTED child sex offender and kidnapper Dennis Raymond Ferguson could easily still be in Brisbane's Wolston jail today, instead of being holed up in a house at Albion, waiting for the media pack outside to lose interest in him.
The "system" that Ferguson, pictured, so loathes, that he insists has wrongfully and maliciously held him behind bars for more than 14 years, could still have him in its grasp. That he is a free man today – save for the inconvenience over the next 15 years of having to advise police of any change of name or address – is the result of any number of administrative oversights in recent years, and one quite deliberate if unexplained decision by his sentencing judge.
Justice Des Derrington was well aware there was a provision under the Criminal Law Amendment Act that empowered him to detain Ferguson indefinitely if two psychiatrists determined that the convicted prisoner was incapable of controlling his sexual instincts.
Indeed, soon after the jury found Ferguson guilty on all counts of kidnapping and sexually assaulting three Sydney children in July 1987 at a motel in Racecourse Rd – just a short distance from his present media-besieged abode – His Honour informed him of the provision and warned him what to expect.
"I am probably going to make such an order," Justice Derrington said.
He didn't make it. Why he didn't is not clear, with the now-retired judge relaying a message from Singapore, where he is lecturing, that he did not wish to be interviewed by The Courier-Mail.
Certainly he did not go easy on Ferguson – if 14 years' imprisonment could ever be said to be "easy" – out of any begrudging regard for the man. In fact, as even a cursory examination of the court transcripts would reveal, Ferguson had driven him crazy over the course of the 10-day trial, and most especially after he began to represent himself after his barrister, Mark Plunkett, withdrew.
Why Plunkett withdrew is another intriguing question, and one never likely to be answered, given the restraints of client-lawyer confidentiality. It is reasonable to speculate, however, that he decided he could not continue when Ferguson pressed him to introduce into evidence a private investigator's report highly critical of the arresting police.
Had he done so, the prosecutor would have been fully entitled to retaliate by informing the jury of Ferguson's five previous convictions for child molestation – a fact jury members were not made aware of until told by Justice Derrington just before he discharged them.
Thereafter, reluctantly defending himself in court yet displaying a surprising degree of legal nous in the process, Ferguson made a total menace of himself in the eyes of the presiding judge.
While the trial was in progress, Justice Derrington was prepared to tolerate his theatrics in the interests of judicial fairness, but once the verdict was brought down, so too was the guillotine on any further latitude.
"I regard your conduct as that of a humbug, to say the least, and probably more of a fraud," the judge told him sternly.
Yet, for all the provocation Ferguson had given him, Justice Derrington chose not to invoke Section 18 of the aforementioned Act and instead sentenced him to 14 years' jail.
The clock was now ticking, albeit very slowly and deliberately, on Ferguson's eventual release.
Arguably, the Attorney-General might have been able to go before a judge and argue that, in the opinion of two qualified psychiatrists, Ferguson was unable to control his sexual instincts and should be held indefinitely at Her Majesty's pleasure.
He might have been able to do this had Ferguson submitted himself to psychiatric evaluation while in prison. But he refused – a loophole the State Government is belatedly now trying to close. The authorities, at a loss to know what to do next, took their eyes off the ball.
It was only on Christmas Eve, barely a fortnight before his due release date, that the system roused itself. By that stage it was too late to hold him.
The best that could be done was for the Director of Public Prosecutions to apply to the Supreme Court for an order that Ferguson report his whereabouts to the police for the next 15 years when, as a 69-year-old, he presumably will no longer be a threat to society.
At best, the court order – which Ferguson intends appealing – is a band-aid solution. If Ferguson does not change his name or address in that time, there is no reason for him to appear on the police radar screen.
All this, it must be said, is how society views the situation. And society's view of it in no way coincides with the way Ferguson sees it.
In an interview with The Courier-Mail, Ferguson insisted he was not a pedophile and that he had never sexually abused the three children he and co-accused Alexandria George Brookes brought up from Sydney to – in his words – give them a holiday and their mother a break from them. In short, he maintains his innocence.
Whatever else he might be, Ferguson is consistent. Right from the time he was arrested on the night of Thursday, July 16, 1987, he has claimed he was innocent and that his "confession" was the result of police verballing and bashing.
It was a claim he unwaveringly stuck to throughout his trial as police officer after police officer testified against him.
Certainly the evidence against him, if the police case was not fabricated as Ferguson insists, appears overwhelming.
When Ferguson opened the door on Unit 16 at the Albion Motel that night, he was nude, had an erection, had Vaseline on his hand, buttocks and anus, while a naked six-year-old girl lay on a bed behind him, asleep – Vaseline smeared over her vagina. Two brothers, seven and eight, were asleep on a double bed.
Ferguson claims he was just about to enter the shower when the police knocked on the door. "Now, I had not had sex with any of the children. I never did and I truly did not know the girl was in bed naked," he said yesterday.
And the Vaseline on her genitals? "I don't know. She was complaining of soreness and put that on herself."
According to the subsequent testimony of the children's mother, Ferguson first met her some time in late June 1987, just after he was released from Long Bay Jail, where her husband was serving time after having been convicted of sexually molesting his own children.
Ferguson allegedly introduced himself both as a friend of her husband and as a social worker, and began to win her trust by buying her such things as a new washing machine, clothes dryer, stove and waterbed.
If the police version is to be believed, it demonstrates, in Justice Derrington's words as he sentenced the prisoner, that he "planned and embarked upon a complex plan to have these young children in your power and under your influence for a period for your extended perverted sexual gratification with them . . . you found out from their father whilst he was in jail with you of the fact that they were already sexually abused children and you took advantage of this in the most cunning and contrived way".
Ferguson knew all about sexual abuse from a very early age. He admitted yesterday he himself was abused as a child by "a close family member".
He still sees himself very much as a victim. His first pit-stop on Thursday after being released from prison was the Crime and Misconduct Commission. There he lodged complaints against both police and the Corrective Services Department.
He is, moreover, seeking criminal compensation from Corrective Services for allowing a fellow inmate who had been threatening to bash a "rock spider" – the jailhouse term for despised child sex offenders – to remain in the Wolston prison.
True to his word, the man attempted to strangle Ferguson, and would have succeeded had two guards not intervened.
A Corrective Services spokesman yesterday confirmed Ferguson had an active claim against the department, but declined to comment further. However, it is understood Ferguson is seeking $37,500 in compensation for eight alleged assaults – six allegedly by officers who strip-searched him and two by other inmates.
It also was in keeping with his victim view of himself that Ferguson refused to participate in the Sex Offenders Treatment Program while in jail, because stage one of that course entails an admission of guilt.
Having steadfastly maintained his innocence in court, Ferguson was not prepared to sing a different tune in prison – even if it meant he might get time off for good behaviour. Yet he was not motivated by any noble sense of raging against injustice, but rather by fear of what the system would do to him.
"Having stirred the hornets' nest from day one, I would have expected they would have charged me with perjury or obstructing justice," he said. "And there is no provision in the Criminal Code for the (additional) sentence to run concurrently. It has to go on top."
In one sense, his logic makes twisted sense, yet it defeats the whole purpose of the criminal justice system for it to punish a prisoner who has taken the first step to rehabilitation by facing up to what he had done and admitting he was wrong.
According to prominent Melbourne criminologist Dr Tricia Fox, Ferguson's world view is one totally consistent with that of a pedophile.
"Typically they cannot logically and rationally see that their sexual preferences are wrong or inappropriate," Fox said. "I've never met a convicted sex offender who said he was guilty. They tend more or less to serve out their full sentences."
Certainly that applies to Ferguson. "I've done full time to the last day," he said.
In one sense, however, he is still in prison. He lives in fear of vigilantes taking matters into their own hands and attacking him and the three supporters protecting him in the house at Albion – a house occupied by another man once convicted of a sex offence. He is taking what defensive measures he can . . . "where possible, where practicable".
The police, ironically, are his main source of protection. "They will do what they are required to do by law," Ferguson said. He has no money and no way of getting any until the media ranks outside his house thin and he is able to make a dash to the nearest Centrelink.
"Basically at the moment I've got bugger all," he said. He has no idea what the rest of his life will bring, whether he will risk being stoned if he ever so much as chances to pass a school or some public place where children gather.
"Truly, I don't know. I'm the flavour of the month right now. But in two hours' time, something might come up to divert their (the media's) attention."

"I feel I need to get to the bottom of it," he said.
"It" being his pedophilia? No, his anger at the system.

Although the restrictions – minimal though they are – only apply to Queensland, Ferguson has no plans "at this point in time" to leave the state.
"Why should I run?" he said.
