"Highly commendable and will keep the debate raging."
"A fascinating and absorbing book - which catalogues succinctly and impactfully an alarming quantity of incidents which illustrate just how much work's to be done before we can eradicate racism from football…. And society."
Simon Pryde, Total Sport
Red Card to Racism
The Fight for Equality in Football
HARRY HARRIS
EXTENT 384pp
FORMAT B format
The global Black Lives Matter campaign has given greater exposure to the extent and insidious nature of the structural and systemic racism that exists in all strata of our society and has provided renewed impetus to the urgent need to challenge and eradicate racism in all its forms and wherever it is found.
Sadly, sport has not been immune from this, especially so in the case of football. For too long, there were attempts to hide and mitigate racist attitudes and actions within the game, but thanks to the growing profile and visibility of black and minority ethnic (BAME) players both past and present - Viv Anderson, Cyrille Regis, Jimmy Carter, Les Ferdinand, Pat Nevin and Ruud Gullit - to name just a few and almost three decades of education and campaigning led by Kick It Out, attitudes have changed. However, now is not the time to be complacent there's still a great deal left to do.
Throughout his entire journalistic career, leading sportswriter Harry Harris has championed the fight against racism in football. Now, within these pages, he shines a timely spotlight on the Beautiful Game, revealing the forces within football that have both helped expose and challenge racism - and, at times, sadly, hinder more rapid positive change.
Over the years, Harris has gathered an impressively large network of contacts within the game - players, managers, media pundits and association personnel among them. Many of them, such as Greg Dyke, Glenn Hoddle, Ivor Baddiel, Mek Stein, and Jermain Defoe, have spoken exclusively to Harris for this book.
Red Card to Racism is not only a welcome addition to the ongoing debate surrounding ending prejudice within football but also a timely and necessary addition to the wider discussion of the need within our evermore global multicultural society for all people, whatever their beliefs, gender, identity, sexuality or ethnic background, to be treated with equity, humanity and respect.

Shirtless Venom Snake is from the play demo version of Metal Gear Solid V!
1:6 scale statue stands roughly 12 1/2-inches tall.
Exceptionally realistic and exquisitely detailed.
Limited edition of only 800 pieces!
At Tokyo Game Show 2014, Venom Snake appeared shirtless in the play demo version of Metal Gear Solid V. Now, this look can be yours with the fabulous Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Venom Snake Play Demo Ver. 1:6 Scale Statue! This exceptionally realistic piece highlights both his relaxed posture with Phantom Cigar in hand and a super-tense atmosphere with his sharp eye always watching out for enemies. Standing roughly 12 1/2-inches tall, the exquisitely detailed Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain Venom Snake Demo Statue is limited to only 800 pieces!
His upper body captures the anatomy of an experienced and aging soldier, with his torso thinly covered with fat and countless scars garnered from tough missions and war. His bionic left arm is equipped with a Stun Arm that can knock enemies unconscious with electric shock and is interchangeable with the Hand of Jehuty or the red default one. In the game, the length of the horn on his head changes according to the situation; in this statue, it's shown grown.

Music is the Best Way to Hear Emotions
Everyone has a different connection to music. Some, like my grandmother, are indifferent–she knows it exists, but it's just not for her. And then there's me; music has always played some part in my life. Starting when I was little, my dad would put on one of his many classical CDs, and then he'd have me imagine the story the song was telling. Was it about a princess escaping the grasps of an evil dragon? Or an epic sea battle between two crews of enemy pirates?
As I grew, music meant various things to me, but it never lost that touch of magic that made it so easy to let my mind wander. Music became an especially important part of my life during a time when I was depressed, socially anxious, and generally feeling lost in my own little bubble of the world. One night a few years ago around 8 pm, I was trapped in my room in the middle of a particularly bad anxiety attack, (although I was pretty used to them, this one was the worst). My lungs felt covered in Saran Wrap, and my mind buzzed with the same anxious thoughts over and over. Then before I knew it, I was in my mom's arms. She asked if I wanted to go for a drive. She took me, still shaking and a bit disoriented, downstairs to the car, and we left the house with no destination in mind.
As we pulled out of the driveway, my mom asked if I wanted to put some music on while we drove. We made our way across the rolling hills cloaked by the starry sky, and as we drifted past the grassy fields, "Try Everything" by Shakira came on. With the windows open, the crisp breeze brushed the tears off my face, and the growing beat of the song encouraged me not to be afraid of failure or to doubt myself. As the lyric "Look how far you've come, you filled your heart with love, baby you've done enough take a deep breath," combined with the cool breeze rushing through the windows, I felt free. Not everything was miraculously all better, but in that moment, I knew that it could be if I fought for it.
Music has a way of feeding directly into human emotions. Most people can recall a song that immediately causes them to relax a little more with the easygoing ukulele, maybe to tense up at a heart-wrenching ballad, or to start dancing and smiling to a catchy electronic beat. The song "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles is almost universally recognized as a happy, upbeat song. But if you were to remove the lyrics, it would still sound cheerful. That's because the emotions of a song are rooted in far more than just the lyrics. The beat and vibrations of a song have the power to impact the neurochemical mechanism that manages, "mood, stress, immunity, and as an aid to social bonding," according to a 2013 McGill University study. So listening to a song like "Here Comes the Sun" can actually alter your mood and make you a bit more cheerful.
This direct connection between music and mood is one of the reasons playlists, or in the past, mix tapes, are so popular. A playlist created to help yourself through a breakup might be full of Adele and Air Supply. Or another to hype yourself up for a big speech might include songs by Beyoncé and Pat Benatar on repeat. This is because these songs or artists have a specific style that plugs directly into the mechanisms controlling our emotions, the ones that decide whether we feel a bit more confident, or down, or any other emotion.
In this way, music can console or bolster confidence far more effectively than language alone ever can. In the past, I've found certain songs that communicated what I was feeling and helped me understand my emotions in a therapeutic way. If used in a healing way, music not only lets you communicate your emotions effectively to others but also spurs you to explore and better understand them yourself.
The majority of songs I used to listen to were melancholy, and at times I found they re-enforced my insecurities. Eventually I found music that I could connect with in a way that helped me cope rather than give in. Since then, and in the past two years, I've made an effort to listen to music that supports me. Yes, sometimes that means listening to cheesy music like "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson or "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. But it also means allowing myself to take comfort in music that validates my emotions without leading me too deeply into a negative mindset.
Music is one of the most genuine ways to connect ourselves to what's tangible and authentic. One song has the power to connect with and pull together diverse communities of people from across the globe, while another can make us leap from our seats in the middle of horror movie scene. There's something about listening to music that takes us away to those mystical lands where we can simply be raw, brutally honest, and most of all, ourselves.

Oklahoma still experiencing substantial earthquakes
A magnitude 3.1 earthquake has shaken part of north-central Oklahoma.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake was recorded at 1:37 p.m. Sunday about 10 miles (17 kilometers) east of Hennessey in Kingfisher County. The temblor was recorded at a depth of two miles (3.5 kilometers).
No damage or injuries were immediately reported. Geologists say that damage is not likely in earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or less.
Thousands of earthquakes have been recorded in Oklahoma in recent years. Many have been linked to the underground injection of wastewater from oil and natural gas production. Scientists have also linked earthquakes in Kansas, Texas and other states to wastewater injection.
Oklahoma regulators have directed several oil and gas producers in the state to close injection wells and reduce volumes in others.

A 2022-es PDC-dartsvilágbajnokság (2022 PDC World Darts Championship, szponzorációs nevén 2022 William Hill World Darts Championship) 2021. december 15-e és 2022. január 3-a között került megrendezésre a londoni Alexandra Palace-ban. Ez volt a 29. PDC-dartsvilágbajnokság melyet a Professional Darts Corporation rendez, miután 1994-től különvált a British Darts Organisationtől.

A címvédő a walesi Gerwyn Price volt, miután a 2021-es döntőben 7–3-ra győzött a skót Gary Anderson ellen.

A koronavírus-járvány okozta helyzet következtében a szervezők csak oltott, vagy a víruson igazoltan már áteső, illetve friss negatív teszttel rendelkezőnézőket engedtek be a világbajnokság helyszínére. Pozitív teszteredmény miatt a vb rajtja előtt a spanyol Juan Rodrigueznek kellett visszalépnie a küzdelmektől, helyét az ausztrál Gordon Mathers vette át.

A világbajnokság 3. napján az első vb-jén szereplő skót William Borland az első fordulóban döntő játszma, döntő legben győzte le 3–2 arányban az angol Bradley Brooksot, a mérkőzést egy tökéletes, kilencnyilas kiszállóval lezárva. Borland a világbajnokságok történetének 11. kilencnyilasát dobta, és ő lett az első, aki ezt egy mérkőzés utolsó legjében tette meg, így megnyerve az adott találkozót. A tornán ezenkívül még két tökéletes kiszállózást jegyeztek fel, azokat a litván Darius Labanauskas szintén a világbajnokság első fordulójában, a belga Mike De Decker ellen, illetve Gerwyn Price
a negyeddöntőben Michael Smith ellen érte el. Az egy vb-n dobott három tökéletes leg új rekordot jelentett a torna történetében.

A koronavírus-járvány, illetve pozitív koronavírusteszt-eredménye miatt több neves versenyzőnek, így Michael van Gerwennek is a torna korai szakaszában vissza kellett lépnie a további küzdelmektől.

A vb-t Peter Wright nyerte, pályafutása során másodszor.

Résztvevők
A PDC Order of Merit világranglistája alapján az első 32 versenyző kiemeltként csak a második fordulóban kezdte meg szereplését, míg a Pro Tour ranglista és a különböző selejtezők által kvalifikáltak az első fordulóban.

Lebonyolítás
Az összes mérkőzést 501 pontos legekre játszották a játékosok, dupla kiszállóval. Egy év elteltével újra bevezették a tie-break szabályt. Az első forduló kivételével az utolsó szettet két leg különbséggel kellett megnyerni, kivéve, ha a szett eredménye 5–5 lett, ebben az esetben úgynevezett hirtelen halál (Sudden-Death) következett. A torna előrehaladtával a megnyerendő szettek száma (First to), így a mérkőzések hossza (Best of) is egyre növekedett.

Díjazás
A torna teljes díjazása az előző évhez hasonlóan 2 500 000 angol font volt. A vb-győztes 500 000 fontot kapott, a döntős 200 000 fonttal lett gazdagabb.

Florida has what you might consider to be surprising laws regarding the reporting of injuries at amusement parks like Universal Studios. A Florida amusement park is required by state law to report an injury in only a very limited number of circumstances. If a person dies at a Florida amusement park, it must be reported. If a person is injured at a Sunshine State amusement park, it needs to be reported only if the victim is immediately transported to a hospital and must remain there for at least 24 hours for treatment, and not just observation.
The construction of Florida law is such that there is a lack of truly reliable information about the true nature and extent of injuries that occur at amusement parks in the state each year. With that understood, a person like you suffers an amusement park injury in Florida with alarming frequency.
Broken bones, bruises, lacerations, puncture wounds, soft tissue damage, brain injury, and spinal cord injury highlight the list of the types of injuries sustained by individuals visiting Universal Studios Florida. Other types of injuries include ride-induced heart attacks or strokes.
In addition to these various types of physical injuries, psychological issues have been reported as a result of attractions at Universal Studios Florida. For example, a person involved in an accident on a Universal Studios ride may end up suffering from both physical and psychological injuries.
Keep in mind that other types of accidents occur at Universal Studios Florida, including slip and fall incidents and cases involving contaminated food products. An injury lawyer can assist with all manner of injuries, losses, and damages sustained at a Florida amusement park, including Universal Studios and Disney properties.
The nature and extent of compensation possible in a case involving an injury at Universal Studios Florida is contingent on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding a particular accident. With that said, two types of losses typically involve compensation in an amusement park injury case: medical expenses and pain and suffering.
The reality is that an accident at an amusement park can result in you being left with a considerable amount in medical bills. In addition, you may end up having to endure significant pain.
In many cases, medical care and treatment extends for an indefinite period of time. It very well may include physical therapy, perhaps even occupational therapy. With the aid and assistance of a skilled Universal Studios Florida injury lawyer, like a member of the legal team at The Doan Law Firm, you will be able to seek not only compensation for existing losses, but recovery for losses, including medical bills and pain and suffering, you reasonably can be expected to face in the future. The Doan Law Firm can be reached at (800) 349-0000.
A personal injury lawyer may also be able to assist you in obtaining additional compensation for your losses in an amusement park injury lawsuit. In the United States, an injured person oftentimes can see what are known as punitive damages in a lawsuit. Punitive damages are awarded when the action, or inaction, of the third party causing an accident are considered particularly reckless of egregious.
Punitive damages are designed to not only provide additional compensation, but to punish an amusement park for particularly dangerous conduct. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, nothing ever really fully restores a sense of justice when a person is injured. However, punitive damages do provide an element of justice in some cases.

GHSA recommends ways to reduce speeding-related crashes
Speeding is behind nearly one-third of all motor vehicle-related fatalities in Louisiana and the rest of the U.S. This major topic has been analyzed anew in a report from the Governors Highway Safety Association. Entitled, "Speeding Away from Zero: Rethinking a Forgotten Traffic Safety Challenge," it outlines some of the latest data and research on speeding as well as ways to reduce it.
Speeding is known for endangering pedestrians and bicyclists in particular. It has been shown that even a slight decrease in travel speed can drastically reduce the severity of crashes and injuries, thus saving lives. Despite the existence of state and federal policies and speeding reduction programs, speeding is still considered culturally acceptable among many drivers.
The GHSA believes that more attention should be devoted to rural roadways, which is where the majority of speeding-related crashes arise. In 2016 alone, more than 5,000 people were killed in such crashes in rural areas. To address this, the GHSA hopes that the principles of the Vision Zero road safety project can be applied to rural areas.
Other recommendations made in the report include stricter law enforcement and the building of roundabouts and other traffic pacifying structures. The GHSA is in a position to carry out these recommendations through its State Highway Safety Offices, which can also help promote better education on speeding.
While speeding may be considered culturally acceptable among some drivers, it remains a form of negligence all the same. When a speeding driver causes a car crash, an injured victim can file a personal injury claim against the applicable insurance company. However, building up a case and negotiating for a settlement are generally best done with a lawyer and his or her network of professionals.

13‑P‑799 Appeals Court
LORING TOWERS ASSOCIATES[1] vs. MELVIN FURTICK; BOSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY, third-party defendant.
No. 13‑P‑799.
Essex. December 3, 2013. ‑ March 27, 2014.
Present: Grainger, Brown, & Carhart, JJ.
Summary Process. Practice, Civil, Summary process, Complaint, Parties. Boston Housing Authority. Due Process of Law, Housing.
Summary process. Complaint filed in the Salem Division of the District Court Department on April 23, 2012.
Following transfer to the Northeast Division of the Housing Court Department, a motion to dismiss a third‑party complaint was heard by David D. Kerman, J.
Michael J. Louis & Angela Marcolina for Boston Housing Authority.
Laura Gallant (James Breslauer with her) for Melvin Furtick.
BROWN, J. Melvin Furtick, a physically disabled and mentally ill senior citizen, has been a participant in the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, better known as "section 8," for over thirty years.[2] The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) terminated Furtick's housing assistance benefits, a protected property interest, in violation of his due process rights. Such a result cannot be countenanced by any court of law. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Housing Court in this summary process litigation restoring Furtick's housing benefits retroactively to the date of the unlawful termination.
Facts. Except where noted, the following facts are undisputed. On January 17, 2012, the leased housing division of the BHA sent a letter addressed to Furtick at his subsidized apartment in Salem, notifying him of the proposed termination of his housing assistance benefits based upon his failure to attend two section 8 voucher recertification meetings scheduled for November 28, 2011, and December 22, 2011. See § 13.6.2 of the BHA Administrative Plan for Section 8 Programs (revised December 6, 2011) (BHA administrative plan). The BHA letter informed Furtick that he had the right to an informal hearing regarding the proposed termination before the BHA's department of grievances and appeals as long as he requested a hearing within twenty days. See id. at § 13.6.3. When Furtick failed to respond within the twenty-day appeal period, the BHA, by letter dated February 7, 2012, and mailed to his apartment, terminated Furtick's subsidy effective March 31, 2012. As Furtick was in jail during that time, he had no actual knowledge of any of this.[3] Upon his release, Furtick returned to his apartment and discovered that not only had the landlord changed the lock, but the BHA had terminated his benefits.[4]
On April 10, 2012, he personally traveled to the BHA's department of grievances and appeals and attempted to appeal the termination decision, explaining the reasons for his nonattendance at the recertification meetings as well as for his failure to request a timely hearing. The BHA representative informed him that a decision whether to grant a late hearing would be issued within ninety days, a fact reflected on the receipt provided to Furtick. Furtick indicated that he was temporarily living at the Lynn Emergency Shelter and asked that the BHA notice of the decision be sent there. After gaining access to his apartment again within a few days, he called the BHA, updating his address. At that time, the BHA did not inform him that on the very day of his visit, the BHA had mailed out notice of an adverse decision to him at the Lynn Emergency Shelter.[5]
Meanwhile, also in April of 2012, Furtick's landlord, prompted by the cessation of the BHA's payment of its share of the rent, commenced a summary process action against him. Furtick defended in part by lodging a third-party complaint against the BHA, in which he sought reinstatement of his section 8 voucher. The BHA moved to dismiss on grounds that it could not properly be impleaded in the summary process case and that Furtick's complaint was time-barred. After two days of hearings, a judge of the Northeast Division of the Housing Court Department, acting on the undisputed facts, declined to allow the BHA's motion and instead ordered the reinstatement of Furtick's section 8 benefits retroactively to the date of their termination. Before us now is the BHA's appeal from the resulting judgment on the third-party complaint.
Discussion. Third-party claim. There was no error in the allowance of Furtick's motion to file a third-party complaint against the BHA. Rule 14(a) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, 385 Mass. 1216 (1982), permits a defendant to bring in a third party "who is or may be liable to him for all or part of the plaintiff's claim against him." In the underlying summary process action here, the landlord sought rent arrearage from Furtick. BHA was potentially liable for contribution, and thus a proper candidate for impleader. See Gabbidon v. King, 414 Mass. 685, 686-687 (1993).
Although the Uniform Summary Process (USP) Rules govern procedure in summary process cases, no USP rule specifically addresses third-party practice. In this situation, the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure apply unless "inconsistent with [the USP] rules, with applicable statutory law or with the jurisdiction of the particular court [here, the Housing Court]." Rule 1 of the Uniform Summary Process Rules (1980). See Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v. Gabriel, 81 Mass. App. Ct. 564, 571 n.17 (2012). We find no such inconsistency here. Nothing in G. L. c. 239, the summary process statute, can be read to limit a section 8 participant's right to bring a third-party complaint against a public housing authority or plan administrator. Contrast Fafard v. Lincoln Pharmacy of Milford, Inc., 439 Mass. 512, 515 (2003) (concluding that counterclaim could not be brought in commercial eviction cases where G. L. c. 239, § 8A, expressly limited that right to actions "to recover possession of any premises rented or leased for dwelling purposes").[6]
The case of Cummings Properties, LLC v. Cepoint Networks, LLC, 78 Mass. App. Ct. 287 (2010), is inapposite. In Cummings, this court held that a private guarantor of a commercial lease, who lacked a possessory interest in the leasehold, was not a proper defendant in a summary process action. In reaching this holding, we construed the language of G. L. c. 239, §§ 1 and 2, to require a defendant to be in possession of the property. Id. at 288-289. A contrary holding would have been inconsistent with the plain language of the statute. Id. at 290. Here, in contrast, the statute is silent on third-party practice. There is no requirement under our jurisprudence that a third-party defendant be in possession of the property.
Express legislative intent, moreover, to permit third-party practice appears in G. L. c. 185C, § 19 (requiring clerks of the Housing Court to impose a fee of $ 120 for the filing of a third-party complaint or a motion to intervene as a plaintiff).[7] Compare Bank of America, N.A. v. Rosa, 466 Mass. 613, 625 n.11 (2013) (noting that a G. L. c. 93A, § 9, claim can be brought in the Housing Court, as provided in G. L. c. 185C, § 3, by way of a third-party action). Rule 14(a) applied here and authorized the filing of a third-party claim.[8]
The judge did not err by denying the BHA's motion to dismiss based on the asserted untimeliness of Furtick's third-party claim. The BHA was not entitled to pigeonhole Furtick's claim as one brought under the certiorari statute with its short limitations period of sixty days. See G. L. c. 249, § 4. As the Housing Court judge noted, the substance of Furtick's third-party complaint challenged the propriety of the procedure employed by the BHA in his case, the essence of a Federal civil rights claim.[9] See Carter v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 450 Mass. 626, 633 (2008) ("[J]udicial review of the decision to terminate [a housing benefit] 'has long been framed as a claim for deprivation of a vested property interest without due process of law'"), quoting from Wojcik v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 66 Mass. App. Ct. 103, 105 n.4 (2006); Costa v. Fall River Hous. Authy., 71 Mass. App. Ct. 269, 274 & n.5 (2008) (concluding that Housing Court properly exercised jurisdiction over tenant's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims in complaint alleging housing authority did not afford due process in terminating tenant's section 8 benefits), S.C., 453 Mass. 614 (2009).[10]
Unfair process. Furtick's sole source of income is his Social Security disability insurance benefits, an amount clearly insufficient to cover market-rate rent. According to his doctors, given his serious medical problems, the absence of decent, sanitary housing would place Furtick's health at serious risk.[11] Before terminating Furtick's critical housing assistance, the BHA was required to provide him with a fair process. See Carter v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 450 Mass. at 637-638. Nothing of the sort was provided here.
First, the February 7, 2012, section 8 benefits termination notice from the BHA's leased housing division was defective. It incorrectly stated that "this decision is final and there is no further right to appeal this decision of the BHA." In fact, under the BHA administrative plan's termination procedure, a participant may obtain an administrative appeal hearing on the decision through a late request upon a showing of compelling circumstances.[12],[13] No BHA representative informed Furtick of the compelling circumstances policy, or explained how to meet its requirements.
In her brief decision dated April 10, 2012, the BHA grievances and appeals administrator denied Furtick's request for a late hearing, and upheld the termination decision, based upon Furtick's failure to request a hearing within the initial twenty-day period (a factual impossibility) and his failure to provide evidence of compelling circumstances (a requirement about which he was not told). The BHA official signed the decision as an administrator. No compelling circumstances evaluation was made here by a hearing officer as required by the BHA administrative plan. See note 12, supra. Indeed, it is entirely unclear whether the administrator was even aware of Furtick's individual circumstances. The BHA's failure to follow its own policy set forth in the BHA administrative plan was a violation of HUD regulations.[14] See 24 C.F.R. § 982.54(c) (2012). The administrative decision resting upon such a flawed process was invalid and cannot stand. See Wojcik v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 66 Mass. App. Ct. at 115. The finding of compelling circumstances as matter of law by the Housing Court judge was not shown to be incorrect. In the unique circumstances of the case and all that Furtick has endured, we decline to disturb the judge's ruling reinstating the housing assistance benefits.
Conclusion. The overarching mission of the BHA is to provide housing assistance to poor and low-income individuals. See Boston Hous. Authy. v. National Conference of Firemen & Oilers, Local 3, 458 Mass. 155, 156 (2010). In its rush to recapture Furtick's section 8 voucher, the BHA seems to have lost sight of its mission here.[15] The seasoned Housing Court judge pointed out the big picture to the BHA and suggested a reasonable settlement of this litigation (a hearing for Furtick). Compare Casavant v. Norwegian Cruise Line, Ltd., 63 Mass. App. Ct. 785, 800 (2005) (Brown, J., concurring) ("[C]ounsel would [have been] well advised to attempt to settle this matter amicably, rather than pursue it further in the courts . . ."). The BHA ignored the advice, opting to pursue this case to the bitter end, a confounding decision in light of the serious procedural unfairness apparent on this record.
[1] By its agent NHPMN Management, LLC. Loring Towers Associates, the landlord in the underlying summary process case, did not participate in this appeal by the Boston Housing Authority.
[2] For a description of the section 8 voucher program, and an overview of its operation, see Wojcik v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 66 Mass. App. Ct. 103, 103 n.2 (2006). The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) is a public housing authority that administers the program on behalf of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The BHA was required to adopt a written plan establishing local policies for the administration of the program that was consistent with the regulations and requirements of HUD. See id. at 108 n.7; 24 C.F.R. § 982.54(a), (b) (2012). As applicable in this case, that written plan is the BHA Administrative Plan for Section 8 programs (revised December 6, 2011).
[3] Having pleaded guilty in early November, 2011, to charges of threatening his former wife, Furtick was incarcerated during that time at the Essex County house of correction. Although Furtick notified his landlord of his whereabouts, he did not tell the BHA about his incarceration. Mail addressed to him at his apartment was not forwarded to him at the house of correction. Furtick was released on March 30, 2012.
[4] The actions of the landlord on or about March 30, 2012, are in dispute. In his affidavit, Furtick averred that his landlord would not let him into his apartment until he paid his rent arrearage. In her affidavit, the property manager claimed that while she did in fact change the lock, she did so in order to protect Furtick's possessions from his former wife, an unauthorized tenant living in the apartment; and that furthermore, Furtick did not request the new key until April 11, 2012. A lockout without judicial process would, of course, have been illegal. In any event, as a result of the distressing news, Furtick began suffering from hallucinations and hearing voices. He was hospitalized in a locked psychiatric unit at the Carney Hospital for one week. The hospital discharged him to the Lynn Emergency Shelter, a homeless shelter for single adults.
[5] The Lynn Emergency Shelter did not forward to Furtick the BHA's notice of its decision sent by regular mail, and the notice sent by certified mail was returned to the BHA unclaimed. Furtick did not learn of the decision until a Neighborhood Legal Services staff member uncovered the letter in Furtick's BHA file in July, 2012. As late as August 1, 2012, the BHA caused Carol Segal, a housing advocate from Greater Lynn Senior Services assisting Furtick, to believe that the appeal process was still ongoing, permitting her to fax to the BHA letters from Furtick's doctors and therapists supporting his request for the reinstatement of his benefits.
[6] Nor is there a deficiency in Housing Court jurisdiction over the matter. See Costa v. Fall River Hous. Authy., 71 Mass. App. Ct. 269, 274 & n.5 (2008), discussed infra.
[7] The Housing Court clerk's office waived the fee here based upon Furtick's indigency.
[8] To the extent that the BHA argues that a section 8 participant has no standing to enforce a public housing authority's housing assistance payments (HAP) contract with the landlord, suffice it to say that Furtick has never attempted to do so. No ruling was obtained on the BHA's claim that it had no obligation under the HAP contract to make rental payments while Furtick was not "residing" in the apartment. The issue was neither developed below nor properly preserved for review.
[9] Furtick's handwritten third-party complaint did not specify under which statute he was seeking relief. During the first oral argument on the BHA's motion to dismiss, the judge opined that Furtick had stated a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
[10] Not only is the BHA's argument that any claim by Furtick under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was subject to the presentment requirement raised for the first time on appeal in violation of our procedural rules, it has no merit. See G. L. c. 258, § 4, third par. (expressly exempting third-party claims from presentment provisions of the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act).
[11] Furtick suffers from a suppressed immune system (stemming from a kidney transplant), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, arthritis, and asthma.
[12] Section 13.6.3 of the BHA administrative plan provides the following in relevant part:
"If the Family fails to respond [to the proposed termination letter] within twenty (20) days . . . , the BHA will send the Participant a thirty (30) day notice of termination (by first class and certified mail). . . . The BHA will grant a request for a hearing when a Participant submits a late request, together with evidence of compelling circumstancesthat prevented the Participant from requesting a hearing within twenty (20) days.
"Compelling circumstances — when analyzing whether or not a participant's reasons for requesting a late hearing are compelling, the hearing officer will consider the following when determining whether or not the participant has good cause for requesting a late hearing: (1) the written facts or circumstances submitted by the participant which show that the participant is not willful (a willful act is a deliberate, intentional or voluntary act) or culpable (culpable is to be responsible or liable) in making the late request, which would require more than mere action or inaction (for example the participant's reason for not requesting a hearing timely should not due be [sic] to something the participant did or failed to do); (2) the swiftness with which the participant has attempted to remedy the default; (3) the existence of any meritorious defense to the underlying allegations; as well as, other equitable criteria such as: (a) whether the default resulted from a good faith mistake in following a rule or procedure; (b) the nature of the participant's explanation for not requesting a timely hearing; (c) the availability of other alternative sanctions; (d) whether not granting a late hearing would produce a harsh or unfair result." (Second emphasis added.)
[13] The notice also implies there is no possibility of obtaining judicial review.
[14] Under § 13.7.1(d) of the BHA administrative plan and HUD regulations, the BHA was required to provide Furtick with the opportunity for a pretermination hearing regarding his "failure to act." See 24 C.F.R. § 982.555(a)(1)(v) (2012). At that hearing, Furtick would have been entitled to present evidence of all relevant circumstances, including mitigation evidence, and to request the imposition of a lesser sanction. See § 13.6(1)(a) of the BHA administrative plan; 24 C.F.R. §§ 982.552(c)(2)(i), 982.555(e)(5) (2012); Carter v. Lynn Hous. Authy., 450 Mass. at 633-635.
[15] Because of Federal budget sequestration, no new vouchers are being issued at this time.
