HBO's the Wire and Criminal Procedure: a Match Made in Heaven
114 HBO’s The Wire and Criminal Procedure: A Match Made in Heaven Brian R. Gallini Fans of The Wire know Bunk. Those fans who are legal minded may even remember, in the first scene of the first episode of Season 5,1 when Bunk masterfully interrogates a helpless suspect. I cannot imagine a better introduction to the Fifth Amendment materials in the Criminal Procedure course. But The Wire’s five seasons offer more than just helpful scenes. Rather, the show raises a diverse array of Fourth and Fifth Amendment issues that, I believe, can assist in teaching the Criminal Procedure course throughout the semester by keying all the course’s topics to The Wire. I proceed in this piece by offering (1) whyThe Wire makes for such a compelling pedagogical tool, (2) why a “one show” approach is superior to using sporadic clips from a variety of sources, and (3) then offering some concrete examples of how the clips are helpful on a class-by-class basis. Why The Wire? The Wire takes viewers into the inner-city streets of Baltimore for an in- depth look at the highly lucrative drug trade. Using a wide array of colorful characters, it treats viewers to a morally and legally complex world where police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, drug sellers and drug users all serve as compelling personalities living out the American drug war. Against that captivating backdrop is a more specific appeal to law professors—how all of The Wire’s characters interact with the Bill of Rights. Throughout its five seasons, the show provides an extraordinary number of discussion-worthy scenes that magnificently bring complex constitutional doctrines to life. -

Highl1ghting the importance of maritime commerce to the struggling Texas colonists, First Texas Navy brings colorful naval captains, privateers, amateur admirals., and hard-driving seamen into the picture of the Texas Revolution with the smooth deliberation of a Texas marine launch gliding onto a sandy Gulf shore. -
Training in Sea Safety Development Programmes
TCP/IND/6712 Field document 1 TECHNICAL COOPERATION PROGRAMME TRAINING IN SEA SAFETY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES BASED ON THE WORK OF J.M.M TURNER FAO Senior Fishery Industry Officer FOOD AL~ AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS BANGKOK, 1997 The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. iii The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to the organizations and individuals who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities. Summary Following the swift approval of TCP/IND/6712, Training in Sea Safety Development Programmes, the Project Operations Officer of the F AO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific requested an FAO staff member to visit India to check on all matters relevant to the effective implementation of the project. The technical division concerned (FIIT) had previously expressed considerable misgivings about the project. All matters relating to disaster preparedness and damage mitigation are the responsibility of specified Federal, State and District Authorities who are also responsible for the coordination of all such activities. It is therefore of concern that the project document was not developed with reference to these authorities. Following discussions with all concerned and available personnel, and following detailed investigations within the project area, the target groups and main activities of the project are clarified and elaborated to reflect the prime and distinct causes of loss of life during the cyclone. -

Gender, Genre, and Seriality in the Wire and Weeds
DEALING WITH DRUGS: GENDER, GENRE, AND SERIALITY IN THE WIRE AND WEEDS By AMY LONG A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Amy Long 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like especially to thank my director, Trysh Travis, for her guidance, encouragement, and support throughout the writing process and my time at the University of Florida as a whole. Additionally, my committee members, Florence Babb and Joseph Spillane, deserve thanks for their participation in the project and particularly for, respectively, allowing me to work out some of the ideas presented here in here in her seminar fall 2007, Sex Love & Globalization, and providing me with useful reference materials and guidance. I would also like to thank LaMonda Horton Stallings for giving me the opportunity to develop substantial portions of my chapter on The Wire in her fall 2007 seminar, Theoretical Approaches to Black Popular Culture. In her spring 2008 seminar, History of Masculinities, Louise Newman also provided me with valuable theoretical resources, particularly with regard to the thesis’ first chapter. Mallory Szymanski, my Women’s Studies colleague, deserves acknowledgement for her role in making the last two years enjoyable and productive, particularly during the thesis writing process. I would also like to thank my parents for their support in all my endeavors. Lastly, my sisters, Beverly and Cassie Long, and friends who are too numerous to name (but know who they are) deserve special acknowledgment for giving me much needed diversions and generally putting up with me during this busy time.
