1. Polygraph & Personal News - by Ralph Hilliard
**********************************************************************************************************
John Grogan has filed a defamation lawsuit against myself, Jack Trimarco, Joseph Paolella and our respective companies.
The truth is our defense. I covet whatever support you can offer in accords with your personal fortitude and desires to aid in this cause. How You Can Help.
**********************************************************************************************************
Here are two nice video pieces that do justice to polygraph. I suggest linking these videos to your own websites so we can have more accurate examples of polygraph in the media and move away from the 'moment of truth' pseudo polygraph testing that is filling the airwaves.

A Recent Study - Testing & Evaluation of the use of Polygraphs to Combat Violence Against Women. - Excerpt Below is from the Executive Summary
"This study examines the applicability of polygraph to post-conviction risk management of high-risk domestic violence abusers. It tests whether polygraphy provides information about risky behaviors predictive of additional near-term arrests of these probationers. To be efficacious in the management of these risks, polygraphy must reveal behaviors that the criminal justice system would not otherwise know and that if not moderated by interventions, would lead to additional arrests."

2. Polygraph & Immigration - New Training - July 26th & 27th, 2008 - by Patrick T. Coffey
Patrick T. Coffey has carved out a relatively new niche for polygraph by working hand in hand with Immigration Attorneys, Agents and Courts to use polygraph to help resolve tough Immigration & Asylum Issues. He has compiled his experience into a course being offered by the Backster School of Lie Detection July 26th & 27th in San Diego, California.
Training Description:
Marketing the Computer Polygraph for Immigration Law Cases
Presented By Patrick T. CoffeyThis two day course is centered on the contribution of the applied use of the computerized polygraph by the established professional. The course focuses on the needs of Immigration Attorneys and Paralegals who prepare a wide ranging cases under immigration law; and who must show in most all cases preponderance of the evidence wherein original evidence is often lacking. The course encompases the primary issue of Asylum, as well as common case issues such as Amnesty/ IRCA Acts, V.A.W.A., Marriage Fraud, Terrorism, Human Trafficing, Temporary Protected Status persons, LIFE Act, as well as both alleged Victims and Perpetrators of violations of U.S. Immigration laws. Mr. Coffey will discus his successful pioneering work in this field, inclusive of testimony in the Immigration courts, and the success of the Dual Phase and Tri-Phase models for substitution of original evidence. This course is oriented toward the private sector examiner, or soon to be retired civil servant, in this new and emerging market toward expanding one’s business presence in your respective region, and improving and expanding the computer polygraph professional’s contribution and impact on this legal class of individuals.

4. In the Private Forums - "This is a request for documentation regarding current assessment in the polygraph community about the need/lack of need for time bars and symptomatics"
A partial post from the examiner only private forums:
"...I know that I have read that not using time bars and not using sympto's has not been shown to have any effect on the outcome of the test..."
What? Not yet a member of the FREE private forums for examiners only?
The private forums now have so many examiners registered I just stopped keeping count. The wealth of knowledge, information and wisdom that has amassed here is staggering. If you are an examiner, come and be part of this growing community.
