The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave...We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them,
this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of Earth' to 'touch the face of
God. President Ronald Reagan remembering the Challenger crew.

A WIN IN THE U.S. SIXTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS. On August 18, 2014 in Nifadev v. Holder, (Case No. 13-3704/4222
6th Cir. 2014), the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that Mikheil B. Nifadev has proven his claim that he
had suffered persecution by reason of his Russian ethnicity at the hands of the security and regular police of Uzbekistan.   The
Court vacated the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Washington, D.C. which had denied Mr. Nifadev asylum,
and the Court remanded the case with additional instructions to the United States Attorney General, including that the BIA should
determine whether the BIA should also reconsider its denial of Nifadev’s application for withholding of removal and protection
under Convention Against Torture (abbreviated CAT for Convention Against Torture And Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment of the United Nations) in light of the opinion of the Court. The Sixth Circuit opinion essentially and
explicitly held that "[b]ecause the IJ [Immigration Judge] appears to have erred in her determination that Nifadev did not suffer
past persecution and because the IJ clearly misinterpreted Nifadev’s credible testimony regarding the ethnic animus of the
Uzbekistan security officials, we find that Nifadev has made out a credible case of being a refugee under the definitions of
8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(A)." [Emphasis added].   The United States Immigration Court in Cleveland, Ohio, had initially
found Mr. Nifadev and his witnesses to be credible but declined to grant asylum because it erroneously determined that
Mr. Nifadev had NOT suffered persecution.   Shown in photograph on the right is Mr. Mikheil B. Nifadev with Charleston
C. K. Wang, Esq. who represented Mr. Nifadev during trial and both appeals. To read complete opinion, please click here.

Pursuant to the Sixth Circuit opinion, the BIA on January 5, 2015, ordered the Immigration Court to grant asylum to Mr. Nifadev.

                 Grounded: Human Gods Who Decide Others Fate
Getting ready to write a review for the latest play by George Brant, I was going to
explore the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But “They Are Guilty”
echoed in my head and I thought that readers should be exposed to a different side of
this play, the side that reveals humans behind electronic screens who think of
themselves as gods and seemingly are not reluctant to decide fate. There is no due
process, no judge, no defense, no rebuttal; it is just execution of judgment by drone.
“Guilty Ones" and "Gods” are the words that echo through the play from the beginning
till the end, as audience’s attention is riveted on Katherine Wise while she performs her
over an hour soliloquy as the grounded fighter pilot now flying drones from a air-
conditioned trailer outside Las Vegas. The play is most thought-provoking, the acting
intense, and the high-tech light and sound effects surreal.    Review by Nazly
Mamedova, Esq. on February 5, 2016.

IN A LOCAL CHINESE RESTAURANT.

WE REMEMBER THE CHALLENGER & HER CREW
The Space Shuttle Challenger and all her crew were lost
in a fiery explosion 73 seconds after lift-off on January
28,1986. Since that moment so graphically captured on
film, 30 years have passed, but to me and many of us, it
was like yesterday as the fuel that was supposed to propel
the vessel into mission orbit leaked and ignited to provide
the cloud on a cloudless winter day. During those days, I
was very much involved in industrial safety having served
in the United States Department of Labor, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. Accident investigations
and more importantly accident prevention were my
professional interest. In that spirit, I wrote an Op-Ed
entitled The Wisdom of Mother Goose and it was
published by the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER. Looking
back, and my son is an adult now, I feel gratified that
simple wisdom holds true to this day.

Today we should take time to remember the crew of the
Challenger, amongst whom was an Asian American.
Here are the names of that gallant crew:
Francis R. Scobee, Commander
Michael J. Smith, Pilot
Ronald McNair, Mission Specialist
Ellison Onizuka, Mission Specialist
Judith Resnik, Mission Specialist
Gregory Jarvis, Payload Specialist
Christa McAuliffe, Payload Specialist
The catastrophe was investigated by a Presidential
Commission which issued the Rogers Report. Among
conclusions was the finding that the ignition resulted
from the rupture in the O-rings seals to the aft field joint on
the right solid rocket booster. Pressurized hot gases and
eventually flame "blew by" the gaskets and reached the
adjacent external fuel tank, causing structural failure and
the explosion that destroyed the space shuttle on its 10th
mission into space. There was a design flaw in the
specification for the polymer material used in the O-rings
which made them prone to failure from lower ambient
temperatures. The Rogers Report is now a benchmark on
catastrophic failure incidents. Charleston C. K. Wang,
January 28, 2016.
