Outstanding. Thank you, captain, and so we have more bodies now working in the lab and we have increased since the last presentation with more to come, correct . Yes, how many cases are assigned to each analyst . Yes. Commissioners i am sorry to interrupt, but apparently there are technical difficulties with the audio and we have a gentleman here from sftv who needs to do the adjustments because the Television Show is not picking up. Could we recess for a couple of minutes . Or pause for a couple of minutes . Thank you. Sure. [recess] we are back on the air now with captain peria and we have talked about increasing the staffing and how many cases are assigned to each analyst . Analysts in the dna unit can have anywhere from 20 to 30 cases assigned to them at one time and that sounds like a big number, but the reason for that is that again, the process is very deliberate and organized and you can have a group of four cases and you can have four cases in one batch, that go through differ
Very deliberate and organized and you can have a group one ba go through different stages so they are very efficient and the case is moved through the process and they complete four cases and the reports are on a supervisors desk awaiting approval to have the report signed off and the report, or the report signed off and issued to the investigator. And so, while that is going on, they have this additional cases that they are working on and that process it continues, throughout the year.

I saw on the news that a state senator from the east bay is asking for legislation to expedite the testing of all rape, trauma kits throughout california, given our current state of our protocol, if you have seen what the senator is proposed do we fit in that and what the senator is asking for.

Seniors prepare to leave the ivory tower, another right of spring is taking hold. College bans on conservative speakers. Former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is the latest victim, announcing last week shes withdrawing as the graduation speak at rutgers after faculty and students protested her role in the iraq war. Last month, brandeis rescinded its invitation to a somali writer whose criticism of radical islam, the school said, violated its core values. And a speech by libertarian political scientist Charles Murray was postponed by Azusa Pacific university for fear of, quote, hurting our faculty and students of color. But wall street journal columnist dan haninger said the intolerance goes well beyond college speakers. He joins me along with political diary editor jason riley. Dan, as we said, this has been known to happen in the past, but it seems to be picking up in number and in the breadth of the people who are banned. I mean, Condoleezza Rice is hardly some radical.

Three days to go some races are too close to call making a republican wave far from certain but gop pollster whit ayers is starting to see some movement. He joins me now from washington. Great to see you again. Paul, good to be with you. So, what do you see here in the last week as these as these races move to a climax . Well, weve known for a long time that the broader environment was very conducive for republican victories. But we havent seen much hard evidence of that in the polling. Up until now. But the last week or ten days or so we started to see some shifting. And thats not unusual. When waves come in, they tend to come in late. We did bill frists senate race in 1994 against jim sasser. A week before the election he was only ahead by four points. But by thursday he was up by seven. By saturday he was up by nine. And he eventually won the race by 14 percentage points. So, we need to be watching the polls all weekend long. But as i look at the polls youre seeing i think ten senat
