[Liam Ashley] LIAM ASHLEY was a 17-year-old boy from North Shore City, Auckland[1][2] who was murdered on 24 August 2006, by GEORGE CHARLIE BAKER, a prisoner from North Shore, Auckland.[3] The crime occurred[4] in a New Zealand prison van and led to criticism of the methods of transporting prisoners in New Zealand.

Background

Ian and Lorraine Ashley, Liam's parents, pressed criminal charges against their son after he used his mother's car without permission. The Ashleys denied bail so that their son would be sent to prison. They wished to correct the boy's behaviour, and prevent additional “minor misdemeanours.”[5] Liam had previously experienced “minor trouble” with New Zealand law, and his parents believed that the prison system would be the safest place for him.[6]

Murder

The prison authorities placed Ashley in one of four compartments of a prison van operated by Chubb Security, a company operating under contract with New Zealand officials.[7] The van was scheduled to transport the prisoners from North Shore District Court to Auckland Central Remand Prison at Mt Eden. Ashley shared the compartment with two other men, one of whom, George Baker, was classified as a dangerous criminal.[8] Baker attacked Ashley, strangling and stomping on the boy. The victim sustained severe brain injuries. The following day, August 25, at 10:30, his family chose to remove Ashley from life support; Liam Ashley died at 10:45.[9][10]

Aftermath

Baker said that he attacked Ashley because he believed the boy was a “nark .”[11] He freely admitted to killing Ashley and received a minimum 18 year life sentence.[12] Damien O'Connor, the Minister of Corrections, described the fatal injury as “senseless” and “preventable.”[13]

Chubb, the security company that operated the van, faced criticism in the aftermath of the attack.[14] In June 2007 the company announced that it no longer wished to transport prisoners as contracted with New Zealand authorities.[15]

In 2007, John Belgrave, New Zealand Chief Ombudsman, and Mel Smith, the ombudsman of the Corrections Department, conducted an inquiry into the department's policy for transporting prisoners.[16] Belgrave described Corrections' prisoner transport policies as “inhumane”, and ordered a review of the system.[17] After publication of the report, Simon Power, an Opposition Justice & Corrections spokesman, asked O'Connor to resign due to the shortcomings in his department, though he stopped short of saying that O'Connor was directly responsible for Ashley's death. Power criticized the system for failing to keep Ashley, a first time offender, and Baker, a high-risk prisoner, separated.[18]

In response to Ashley's death, New Zealand authorities began testing waist restraints for prisoners.[19]

Following his conviction, Baker remained in the public spotlight after several further violent incidents inside Auckland Prison. In July 2008, while being returned to Auckland Prison from Auckland City Hospital after treatment for self-inflicted injuries, Baker pulled a concealed shiv on a prison officer in an attempt to escape. The prison officer received minor injuries and Baker was returned to Auckland Prison.[20] On 27 August 2009, Baker took hostage a fellow inmate in Auckland Prison using a makeshift knife and two razor blades. Police managed to defuse the situation and nobody was harmed in the incident.[21] In 2010, Baker was found guilty on charges that resulted from these two incidents and was subsequently sentenced to preventive detention with no possibility of parole for at least 16 years.[22]

SOURCES CLOSE TO LEON OSMAN HAVE REVEALED THAT HE IS CONTEMPLATING HANGING UP HIS BOOTS AS HIS CURRENT INJURY LOOKS LIKELY TO END HIS CAREER.

Osman suffered a split tendon in his foot in the away defeat to Manchester City in December after making 16 appearances for the Blues this season, and although he has so far avoided surgery, it is now thought that it could be his only option.

With a lengthy lay off already on the cards, an operation would set Osman back in his recovery and we have been told that he is considering whether he will ever play again.

Having worked his way up through the ranks at Everton, Osman is now one of the senior players at the club after serving the first team for the past ten years, and his presence will be missed if he chooses to retire from the game.

Highlights of his career include goals in key games such as the 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the 2004-05 season, as well as this wonderful strike against AS Larissa.

     It's funny how people act in the coffee rooms at funeral homes. They're all sad or they act sad out of respect. They all drink coffee and eat the cookies that they put out on the table, and they talk about how the body looks for a while, then they start talking about politics or the weather or some damn boring thing. It happens at every viewing I've ever been to. I even do it. I sat there the other night at my great aunts viewing and I nodded my head when people talked about how natural she looked and all that, and I ate three big cookie, then I looked down at my gut and was disgusted because I'm a damn glutton.
	Anyways, two things happened when we all left the funeral home: the first thing was I offered to be a pallbearer. It was my great aunt Margret's viewing, like I said, and my grandma said that me or my brother ought to be pallbearers. My brother's real nervous about some things, one of them is being around dead people. He was afraid he'd drop the casket or something, so I offered to do it, but Margret's niece said no. She told my grandma later that the reason she said no was because I looked like a clown because of my hair. I have long shaggy hair that I dye blood red.
     The second thing is that I noticed the damn Christmas tree in the corner near the door in the lobby -- it's getting close to Christmas now. It was tall and green and decorated in bright white lights and silver tinsel and big red bulbs with the names of all the dead people who were shown there that year written on them with permanent marker. I saw Margret's name in the center.
	I thought it was sort of strange, decorating the tree with the dead. I think that funeral homes are strange altogether. When you die everybody you ever met practically comes and cries and get all sad at the site of your leftover meat.
	When I got back home I started over to my friend Darren's house.
	Darren and I have went to school together since fourth grade, but we just started hanging out this year because we've always ran with different crowds. His friends are the kind of guys that wear gym shorts all year long and lust after Air Jordans and Beats Headphones and try to punk out everybody so they can feel tough. Plus, we've never had any classes together or anything until this year, but Darren's probably my favorite friend.
      The only problem with us hanging out is that he smokes a lot of weed and he's got me smoking a lot too. Last weekend we blew fifteen bucks on weed, smoked it all and stayed up until four listening to The Beatles.
	He's never listened to much music outside of rap, so I've been trying to show him some good stuff. He always acts like he likes it, but he's probably just entertaining me. He's probably just telling me he likes it because we're friends and he's nice. Darren's a real nice sensitive guy under all that wanna-be-thug shit he's always doing. He's nicer than me in a lot of ways, like when he's listening to rap and I don't like it, I tell him and bitch until he turns it off, and when he turns it off, he isn't even mad about having to doing it because he's real considerate. I wish I was that considerate.
	Anyways, Darren and I ended up going down to the cemetery and smoking a fat joint. I told him about the funeral home Christmas tree and he said that the funeral home was retarded.
	"They won't be putting my name on some damn bulb," he said. Then he talked about the rapture through the rest of the cemetery. He told me that we weren't going to have to worry about funerals because we weren't really going to die because we  were going up in the rapture. Darren was always talking about the rapture. He never went to church, but he had all the faith
in the world that the rapture was going to happen at any minute and he had all the faith in the world that the two of us were going.
	He told me once that I'm the only friend he likes to talk to about the rapture. It was probably because I'm the only one
who will even listen. I don't believe in the Bible, but I don't mind talking about Bible stuff if I care about the person doing most of the talking.
	If Heaven exists, Darren will go because he's nice and sensitive. If there's a Heaven, Margret's there because she was a real sweet lady. It's a nice idea, the idea of Heaven, I mean. I guess I'd rather float up to a cloud kingdom than to get old and die and be buried in a boxes.
	Anyways, I'm not sure why he thinks I'm going to Heaven.
	Once we got out of the cemetery, we saw this old tin can in the middle of the street, and the street was empty because it was about nine at night or later and it was cold and everybody besides the two of us were inside around heater and wrap in blankets, probably. Anyways, we started kicking the can down this alley and we kept falling down and laughing because we were stoned.
	We kept on kicking the can down the alleys until I had to piss. I went behind this old white shed, unbuttoned my pants and
unzipped and started pissing. There was this Oldsmobile behind me, it was parked on the other side of the alley, I thought it was empty because it was dark and I couldn't see through the
windows. Well, somebody was in it, and halfway through my piss, whoever it was  beeped the horn and scared me half to death,
 and I ended up pissing down my leg. I zipped up my pants and Darren and I got the hell out of the alley as fast as we could. It was funny, though. I didn't even mind the piss on my leg that much.

The Adventures of Mr. Paycheck

So, I know a guy. He’s a pretty good guy, but lately something just doesn’t seem right. His name is Mr. Paycheck. He comes to see me pretty regularly and is faithful about it too. But he never stays too long. Quite frankly, he’s a bit of a flake. Also, I think he steals from me.
He brings a gift of cash every time he comes over. He’s a bit stingy though. It seems that his generous gifts are directly related to how long I am gone from my house. I’ve almost developed a system to calculate just how much he will bring on his next visit, but I think this is where he flimflams me. After I do my calculations, I am joyous. “He’s bringing HOW much this time?,” I think to myself… Excited, I travel to his place of origin to pick him up and let our next adventure begin. But when I look at him, he seems thinner than I was expecting. He tells me that a feller by the name of Fica needed some immediate assistance and hell, Mr. Paycheck is a good guy so of course, he helps. “But what about the rest that I was expecting?” I ask. “Well, a Frenchman named Pension told me I should invest with him. And look! He gave me some beans too!” Ugh, alright Mr. Paycheck. What shall we do first? He said that he has some business to take care of before we go ANYWHERE and that I need to get my check book. More money? Why does he always need MY money? “Don’t worry,” he says “It’s for a good cause!” So I let the poor guy sign his name on a few of my checks. My side hurts a little, but it makes him feel important and grown-up. Alright! Let’s go buy some Snickers and tugboats! “Wait, wait, wait… I need to go to the grocery store.” I begin to cry because he ALWAYS spends just a LITTLE too much when he goes. But whatever, I’m used to it by now, so we go and get groceries. He gives them all to me, but if you ask me, the amount he buys SHOULD last until he comes again, but “F THAT!” he says. But my babies need shoes. AND WATER!!! “Maybe next time,” he mutters under his breath.
By now he has paid off his friends and went grocery shopping (and gas about two times) I turn to tell him a funny secret. I knew it would happen, but didn’t think it would be so soon this time. He was gone. All that he left was a little note with my bank account number on it.

The note reads as follows:

Dearest Chadrick,
“I know that we were supposed to have some good times on this visit, but I promise… NEXT time I come visit we can make your wildest dreams come true!
Regretfully so,
Mr. Paycheck

P.S. I left some peanuts in your bank account just in case you get hungry before I return. Just plain though, the honey roasted ones you enjoy so were just too expensive.”

And then it starts all over. I know he will return in 1 week and 6 days, and I look forward to it. So, I leave my house a little longer each time, hoping that he brings more with him on his next trip so that I can FINALLY go buy some Snickers and tugboats.

title: I sometimes write short (very short) stories.  This is one I wrote back when my paychecks were just a little smaller then they are now.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why is the narrator upset about Mr. Paycheck?

answer: The narrator is upset because Mr. Paycheck comes to visit the narrator but never stays long, he steals from him, and he consistently spends more than he is supposed to at the grocery store and leaves less money in the narrator's account. The narrator is frustrated by the lack of commitment from Mr. Paycheck.

answer: He seems to be trying to run a fractional reserve lending business where he creates money out of thin air.

text: Too much inference

refinement: The narrator feels they are not paid enough to have a nice lifestyle.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What do the peanuts in the narrator's bank account symbolize?

answer: The peanuts in the narrator's bank account symbolize the fleeting nature of Mr. Paycheck's generosity. The narrator is always hoping that Mr. Paycheck will bring more money next time he visits, but he rarely does. The peanuts are the little bit of sustenance that Mr. Paycheck leaves behind while he's gone in order to allow the narrator to keep going.

text: It means they have nothing in the bank

refinement: They mean that they have "peanuts", or nothing, in the bank.

answer: Not much, they were just symbolic of the narrator boling out on going to the grocery store for snacks and keeping the peanuts in the fridge.

text: They were symbolic

refinement: They mean that they have "peanuts", or nothing, in the bank.

answer: The peanuts in the narrator's bank account symbolize Mr. Paycheck's lack of reliability and selflessness.

This effectively symbolizes how Mr. Paycheck uses the narrator for his own personal benefit alone.

“Just a few questions sir, and we’ll be out of your hair” said the neatly kept woman behind the desk.

“No problem”, Pete replied, wondering how she fell into this job.

“Okay then, so. Age?”

“25”, he said, after a brief pause that someone lying might have needed.  She nodded, punching the keyboard twice.

“Weight?”

“Ooo, God knows. Sorry. I mean, I have no idea.  The last time I weighed myself I was about 210, 220? But that was at least a month ago.” He turned to his side. “What do you reckon?”  She smiled, embarrassed at his gesture.

“We’ll say 210 then.” Pete congratulated himself, then thanked her for the accidental compliment.

“Time of death?” asked the woman, slightly more sternly then the last questions.  Pete was taken aback.  He was having fun before that one.

“Don’t you already know that?” he asked.  She shrugged sympathetically. “It’s for our records.”

“Fine. Suicide.” A subtle wince brushed over her face at his brisk retort.  “Will that be a problem?” he asked, noticing her expression.

“No, no absolutely not”.  The woman made a conscious effort to force a smile.  Peter smiled back, her smile was convincing enough.  She had lovely teeth, too.  “If you’d like to go through, Jon will show you around.”

As the words came out of her mouth, a polished, white door opened to the right of her desk.  Jon, who looked like he had stepped out of a shaving advert, was waiting on the other side, doing his best to make him feel as welcome as possible with a beaming smile.  “Come through my friend!” he shouted enthusiastically.  Peter didn’t like him already.

He stepped through the door, not pausing to consider the fact that one of life’s biggest questions was soon going to be answered for him. Of course, he had preconceptions of what heaven might look like – clouds, cherubs, wispy structures with thrones and columns - but he decided he would leave those in the waiting room.   They were mostly taken from Disney’s Hercules anyway; a dubious source at best.

With his jaw hung open, he pivoted on the spot, like a netball player desperately searching for a pass.  The door behind him had disappeared, and surrounding him, in every direction, were rows, and rows, and rows, of cubicles.  They seemed to go on infinitely into the distance, punctuated by a medium sized houseplant by the doorway of each one, and a water cooler every 50 yards in the corridors dissecting them.  He looked at Jon, who was looking around in gleeful awe, as though he too was seeing it for the first time.  “Isn’t it amazing” he said, breaking from his trance to gage Peter’s reaction.

“It’s…an office?”, though it was more of an observation then a question.

“This is what we call The Mothership” explained Jon, still baring those suspiciously white teeth.  “It’s the central hub. The engine room, if you like. This is where you’ll be working.”

answer: Heaven.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Explain Pete's shock at the end.

answer: Pete is shocked at the realization that heaven is an ordinary office space with cubicles and small houseplants. Looking around, he sees that this is where he is supposed to do his work. The afterlife does not appear to entail fantastic scenery as he had envisioned. Instead, he has to go to work in an office just like back on Earth.

answer: Pete is shocked at the realization that heaven is essentially just a large office complex. Rather than what he imagined heaven to be, a transcendental realm of wondrous light and heavenly beings, is instead made up of rows of cubicles, beaming staff members and a water cooler. This is a let-down to Pete, and one that shocks him.

answer: It is clear Pete did not expect to see cubicles.

answer: Because Jon specifically says "working" and he shoots right up

text: It misses to mention that Pete is shocked at the sight of endless cubicles where he's supposed to be working which is not what he imagined heaven to be.

refinement: Because Jon specifically says "working" and he shoots right up

Why doesn't Pete like Jon?

text: It misses to mention that Pete didn't like his over-enthusiasm .

refinement: It may be implied that he didn't like his over-enthusiasm.

answer: Pete doesn't like Jon because Jon is overly enthusiastic and seems disingenuous. Jon projects disingenuous hospitality, which Pete interprets as insincerity. Pete therefore doesn't trust Jon and sees him as annoying.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why does the woman wince upon learning Pete killed himself?

answer: A person who wants to kill themselves is deemed less than worthy by the tribe living in heaven.

answer: This information is not mentioned.

text: The story doesn't say but it is implied that because it is often believed that with suicide, you will not be going to heaven.

answer: The woman likely wince upon hearing Pete committed suicide because it is an emotionally difficult subject to discuss. Suicide implies a great deal of pain and suffering, which is difficult to face or imagine.

answer: The woman probably wince upon finding out that Pete killed himself because suicide is considered taboo. She likely also feels sympathetic for his friends and family on Earth that are left behind.

answer: While the story doesn't say, most religions find suicide to be a sin. So he wouldn't be going to heaven.

answer: Pete gets questioned about his age (25), weight (210 to 220), and how he died (suicide). He gives the information, and the woman behind the desk tells him Jon will show him around.

He doesn't know what to expect of heaven, but when their surroundings shift into rows and rows of cubicles he's shocked into silence. Jon tells him he'll be working there.
