Ferguson's Sunday
Monday, August 18, 2014
Despite a change in police leadership, and a state imposed curfew, the situation in Ferguson, Missouri is still volatile. Bishop L.O. Jones, founder of the Greater Grace Church in Ferguson, MO, Pastor Conley Gibbs, Jr. of Ferguson Heights Church of Christ, and Pastor Traci Blackmon, from the Christ the King United Church of Christ in Florissant, MO, talk about what's going on in their communities.
Pastor Blackmon says that "people are being cut off from the daily necessities of life," and that her group is working to bring toilet paper, food, water and more basics into the community where many stores are boarded up.
Pastor Jones affirmed that "the people I talk to in Ferguson all say they want to get along… I do see a great future for the people of Ferguson despite this." "We need the media to focus on the good things we're trying to do. This is not an overnight solution... this is bigger than Michael Brown," added Blackmon.
Guests:Traci Blackmon, Conley Gibbs, Jr. and L.O. Jones
Comments [13]
Perhaps if these churches and their leaders actually paid taxes the conditions in Ferguson, Missouri would be better.
@blacksocialist from BKbaby - the police report values the cigars at $48. before you run your mouth do research. besides, we dont yet from the investigation what happened. what if Brown attacked the cop and charged him rather being shot like a dog? if the investigation doesnt support all this violence and protest, will you own up to the truth?
blacksocialist from BKbab,
If you want to find the real moron, you need go no further than looking in a mirror.
The lawyer for Michael Brown's parents admitted that the video is authentic, so you need to accept the inconvenient truth that while Michael Brown may have been unlawfully shot and killed, he most certainly was a thief.
@ john from office
John, you hit the nail squarely on the head.
Sadly, Brian Lehrer, Anna Sale and company prefer airing these nauseating, touchy feely, handwringing segments instead of providing a sober, dispassionate examination of all the facts and details of this case starting with Michael Brown's theft.
In oppressed communities -- perhaps more so than in other communities -- the self-promotional rise, while the better-informed and better-reasoned get stuck in the shadows. These folk may be well-intentioned, but they don't have the answer.
hilts - youre a moron.... has brown been convicted of stealing a $1 box of cheap cigars? oh, that's right, he's dead you knuckledragger.
one of the takeaways - don't be a dumba$$ posting irrelevant dreck.
Hilts, the store video showed Brown to be a common thug. That store owner is now targeted by goons.
Half measures, as usual. Will get us nowhere, as usual.
My condolences and sympathies go out to Michael Brown's parents for the loss of their son.
That said, when will Brown's parents apologize to the store owner for the theft that their son committed?
Amid all the hullabaloo over the shooting, Michael Brown's theft has been unfairly overlooked.
The position of Michael Brown's supporters which holds that the release of the video showing him shoving the store owner after stealing cigars constitutes a smear is outrageous and reprehensible. The release simply revealed the fact that Michael Brown was a thief.
One of the takeaways from this shooting should be that parents drill home this valuable lesson to their children : "Don't Break the Law"
Why do such well intentioned people like these guests allow clowns to represent them, like Sharpton and Jackson.
The leadership in the black community is so lacking. Sharpton and Jackson are race baiters.
god (pun intended) can we do without the 'preachers' everytime something happens with the blacks. we can do without the used car salesmen.
Please ask your guests about crime statistics in Ferguson. How many robberies, armed and other, how many reported assaults, how many incidents of gun violence recorded by the police, drug arrests, confiscation of illegal guns etc.

Peace Corps @ 50
Tuesday, March 1st, marks the 50th Anniversary of Peace Corps. This has been an occasion for much nostalgia and retrospectives.
I spent almost a year traveling around the world and spending time with the volunteers of today, and I have published a book that shows that Peace Corps is still relevant today. There have been changes – technology being the biggest. However Peace Corps volunteers continue to serve under the same mission and goals as it did when founded fifty years ago.

Community policing: the process of transitional change.
Over the last 10 years, many experts have written on the subject of COP. Despite the availability of this literature, a lack of clarity or consensus seems to exist as to whether agencies, in fact, provide police services using a COP model. Conceptually, community policing has many meanings.(2) For some agencies, it represents a philosophy, while for others, it describes activities and programs. Given the problem of defining community policing, it is not surprising that critics have questioned whether the law enforcement community seriously has embraced community policing.
A preliminary analysis of the effects of The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 on moving agencies toward community policing suggests that organizations have been slow to implement structural changes that reflect the philosophy of community policing.(3) The authors of the book Community Policing, considered COP pioneers, contend that it takes an agency about 10 years to fully implement community policing.(4) This suggests that the controversy over whether or not a department is, in fact, using COP may be more a reflection of time rather than definition.
The authors of this article initially conducted a study to help law enforcement students comprehend the underlying principles of COP. In this study, they examined three areas: 1) law enforcement administrators' perceptions of community policing; 2) how administrators have implemented the principles and strategies of COP in their agencies; and 3) the skills administrators believe effective community police officers need.
The authors collected data for this study from the 89 law enforcement agencies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Approximately one-half of the population of Minnesota lives in this seven-county area, and one-half of the 8,000 law enforcement officers in the state work in this metropolitan area.
During the summer of 1996, the authors developed a survey and sent it to each of the department heads of the 89 agencies. A cover letter explaining the intent of the study accompanied the questionnaire. Within 2 months, a total of 75 surveys were returned, representing an 84 percent rate of response.
The questionnaire for this study was developed to assess law enforcement agencies' level of involvement with COP. Questions focused on three main sections: philosophy, strategies, and officer skills. Department heads were asked to identify themselves and the number of full-time sworn officers they employed. Respondents also were asked if their agencies identified themselves as COP agencies, and if so, how long they had been involved in community policing and how many officers were assigned specifically to COP duties.
The philosophy section consisted of 10 statements that reflect the underlying principles of community policing as identified in the book Community Policing. The survey asked respondents to indicate which of the following activities their departments had performed:
* Secured commitment and support from city/county management to implement COP
* Developed a departmentwide strategy to implement COP
* Integrated all divisions and individuals in the agency into the COP process
* Provided special training to department personnel regarding the philosophy, strategies, and duties associated with COP
* Relieved officers from traditional patrol duties and assigned them to specific problem areas
* Gave individual officers discretion and authority to use problem-oriented strategies to address calls for service
* Amended their agency personnel evaluation process to account for the new tasks associated with COP
* Established formal community partnerships to identify and address community problems and crime
* Increased the direct participation of citizens in addressing community problems
* Refocused both the department's and community's expectations of police service to accommodate for COP (e.g., effect on response time, citizen responsibilities, etc.).
The next section of the survey examined the strategies that departments used to implement community policing. The open-ended question asked respondents to list any strategies that their agencies regularly performed that illustrated a commitment to COP.
The final section consisted of the following eight skills or traits associated with officer competence in COP: problem-solving skills, ethical integrity, interpersonal communication skills, writing skills, knowledge about the causes of and solutions for crime, mediation skills, organizational skills (organizing groups and communities), and college-level preparation. Respondents were asked to check those skills they thought were critical for the effectiveness of officers assigned to COP.
Sample Characteristics
The 75 agencies that responded ranged in size from 1 to 850 sworn officers. Approximately one-half of the agencies had 25 or fewer officers, while 6 of the departments had 100 or more officers.
Fifty-nine of the 75 agencies that responded identified themselves as COP agencies. Twenty of the agencies were in their first year of COP, while 8 indicated they had instituted community-oriented policing at least 10 years earlier. The majority of agencies had been involved with COP for less than 5 years.
Common Concepts of COP
More than 70 percent of the agencies incorporated 5 of the 10 principles that encompass the COP philosophy. These 5 principles exhibit both the internal organizational changes and the external changes that embody police-community involvement. These 5 principles incorporated by the agencies are: giving officers discretion and authority, freeing up officers to work COP, training all personnel regarding COP, establishing community partnerships, and increasing participation of citizens.
COP is based on the premise that line officers have the authority and discretion to develop solutions to problems occurring in neighborhoods. This, in fact, represented the most widely accepted principle held by administrators. Relieving officers from traditional patrol duties to work in specific problem areas paralleled this principle. These practices reflect changes within the department regarding the delivery of police services, which suggests that administrators perceive that traditional reactive policing does not adequately address problems facing communities today. In contrast, problem-solving techniques provide proactive means for combating recurring problems within the community.
COP also is based on the philosophy that the police and the community work together to solve problems. Acknowledging the importance of this facet of COP, agencies established formal partnerships with the community, increased direct participation of citizens in addressing community problems, and secured commitment and support from city or county management. These actions suggest that law enforcement administrators recognize that the police cannot solve all of the problems facing communities on their own. As a result, they have developed ties with the broader community in an attempt to eliminate the us-versus-them mentality that often characterizes traditional reactive policing.
The four principles least likely to have been implemented involved internal changes within the agency. Specifically, agencies did not amend the evaluation process, refocus expectations, integrate the entire agency into COP, or develop a departmentwide strategy. It is possible that the process of converting to COP requires that certain changes take precedence over others, and in time, departments will implement the remaining principles as they progress in their "journey" to COP. If so, then it would appear that agencies implementing the above principles are, in fact, community policing agencies because they have created ties with the community and developed new ways to deliver services based on proactive policing.
Yet, based on conversations with officers and chiefs from a number. of agencies, the authors have concluded that this may not be the case and offer an alternate hypothesis. Three principles lay the groundwork for the change to COP and require implementation during the first stage of the transition to community policing.
First, departments must develop a departmentwide strategy to implement COP. A key step in the process requires participation from all members of the agency. This step often is neglected, especially when agency administrators conceive, develop, and implement the COP initiative without input from other employees. Members of the agency excluded from the planning process are more likely to perceive COP as just another public relations program instituted by the chief. When officers lack participation in the COP process, the chances for undermining it increase.
The second principle means integrating all divisions and individuals into the COP process. As one chief stated: "Our department is integrated around the COP philosophy. It is the philosophy that is important, and everyone, including civilian staff, needs to be committed to it." The philosophy provides the framework for police-community relations and affects how the police deliver services to the community.
Establishing community partnerships designed to address and solve problems confronting residents is the common bond that guides departments committed to COP. Community-oriented policing does not mean special units that work in isolation from the rest of the department. Special units represent tools that departments can use to address specific problems identified by the police and the community. Agencies that create special units assigned solely to community policing typically create hard feelings and misunderstandings among other department personnel, especially those in patrol.
Community Policing Principles Implemented by 75 Minnesota Law Enforcement Agencies Principles Yes No Gave officers discretion and authority 78% 22% Established community partnerships 75% 25% Freed up officers to work COP 72% 28% Increased participation of citizens 72% 28% Trained all personnel on COP 71% 29% Secured support from city administrators 63% 37% Developed departmentwide strategy 54% 46% Integrated entire agency into COP 49% 51% Refocused expectations 43% 57% Amended evaluation process 31% 69%
The third principle involves providing training to all department "personnel regarding the philosophy, strategies, and duties associated with COP. Community-oriented policing differs fundamentally from traditional policing and compels officers to look at the profession of policing in a different way. Without proper training, officers are unsure of what COP is, how it is implemented, and what their roles are, resulting in confusion, misconceptions, and resistance to change. Officers who think of COP as nothing more than social work will have nothing to do with it. Oftentimes, such officers have had little or no training in COP.
This study found that agencies incorporating these three principles in the first stage of the implementation process are more likely to have a successful transition. Working through the process of developing a strategy, integrating it throughout the department, and exploring the possibilities COP extends for delivering police services create a solid foundation that encompasses all department personnel. The COP philosophy directs and guides the mission of the police in the community. It unites officers and administrators in a common quest for making the community a safer place. As a result, the remaining principles generally are implemented rather quickly following the transition stage.
Administrators in agencies that have implemented COP point out, however, that the transition to community policing takes a considerable amount of time to develop and execute. One chief thought that it takes at least 10 years to change an organization.
The survey asked respondents to list all of the strategies that their agencies regularly perform that relate to COP. Fifty respondents(5) listed 129 strategies, which were grouped into 10 common topics.
The most widely cited strategies involved developing school programs and working with community groups. Drug Abuse Resistance Education and Gang Related Education and Training represent some of the school programs reported by the department heads, along with school liaisons and such juvenile programs as Explorers. The community groups listed included business owners, apartment managers, and apartment residents.
Number of Community Policing Strategies Implemented Departments Strategies Responding (50) School programs 23 Officers working with community groups 21 Crime prevention programs 10 Community involvement 13 Block clubs and neighborhood watches 12 Problem-oriented policing 10 Officers working in neighborhoods 10 Alternative strategies (e.g., bike patrol) 10 Community feedback 8 Citizen police academy 6
Sixteen departments developed crime prevention programs designed to provide information to the community. These programs included sponsoring conferences with community groups, involving residents in the hiring process, and developing associations with the citizens by organizing and working to develop block clubs and Neighborhood Watches.
Some strategies used by a number of police agencies to increase police visibility included problem-oriented policing strategies, officers working in substations and/or walking the beat, team policing, and bike patrols. Additional methods designed to increase ties with the community included seeking community feedback through surveys, interviews, or phone calls, as well as establishing citizen police academies.
Still, community-oriented policing is a philosophy. Strategies evolve from the philosophy as methods to accomplish COP goals. In other words, until the philosophy is integrated throughout the agency using the three core principles discussed, strategies lack coherence.
Officer Skills
The survey specifically asked respondents which skills or traits they felt were critical for officers engaged in community policing. Interpersonal communication skills, problem-solving abilities, mediation skills, ethical integrity, the ability to organize groups and communities, and knowledge of the causes of and solutions for crime were supported overwhelmingly by the department heads. Two out of three also perceived writing skills as important for officers engaged in COP.
Interestingly, only 33 percent felt that college-level education was important for developing the skills officers need to perform COP. Ironically, the skills and traits they have identified as crucial for COP generally are attributed to individuals who have college educations.
Clearly, department heads recognize that community policing requires that officers develop and possess skills typically not associated with traditional reactive policing. It follows that education and training become acute prerequisites for the transition to COP. Line officers remain the key to its successful implementation. It makes little sense to send officers into the community to implement COP with deficient skills and only a vague notion of what they are supposed to accomplish.
Interest in community-oriented policing is sweeping through police agencies and academic circles across the country. Community policing sessions at the national meetings of such professional organizations as the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and the American Society of Criminology are well attended and provoke charged discussions regarding definitions and issues relating to implementation of COP.
In many of these sessions, attendees discuss common problems of implementing community policing. Such discussions reveal that many of the agencies that encounter resistance from their officers have not implemented the three principles laid out as critical to the success of COP.
The majority of the department heads in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area seem committed to implementing COP in their agencies and not just trying to obtain available federal funding. However, guidelines for changing police agencies remain incomplete and sketchy. This leaves many administrators searching for ways to make COP fit their departments and communities.
The authors' survey found that agencies that successfully implement COP offer three guidelines or suggestions for change. First, implementing COP must be a departmentwide effort; it is not something the department head can do alone. Second, involving everyone in the development and implementation ensures ownership and commitment to the philosophy of COP. Finally, the change to COP is a process that takes time and a tremendous amount of work. Still, the effort is worth it. As one chief whose department has successfully implemented COP said, "COP is the only real way that the police can effectively deliver services. COP is what the police are supposed to be."

A traffic department drive, Operation Eagle, to enforce road rules on Mumbaikars saw 60,000 motorists being penalised over a period of 20 days – between May 28 and June 15. If traffic police are to be believed, this drive has started bringing about a change as people have now started following basic traffic norms.
According to Dr BK Upadhyay, joint commissioner of police (traffic), "I have instructed all the traffic divisions to carry out the drive in their jurisdiction. However, we are extensively concentrating on the stretch between Bandstand in Bandra (west) to the Airport junction. In this stretch alone there are six police officers and 30 men at various points, who are intercepting motorists on violation of any, however small, traffic rule."
Upadhyay added that all over Mumbai at least 100 traffic police officers and 1000 men, who work in two shifts, are involved in conducting the 'Eagle Operation. Out of those fined, maximum were of bikers for riding without helmet with a total of 22,293 persons getting fined.
For no-entry 3,767 motorists were fined and 7,591 for stopping ahead of the stop-line. A total of 17,203 were fined for signal jumping and 192 for other traffic offences. The traffic police have collected a fine of Rs 44.15 lakh during the 20-day drive, which was carried out from 7am to 10pm.
"The purpose of this drive is to bring traffic discipline in motorists. On Friday morning, I visited the stretch between Bandstand and Airport junction and saw many motorists following rules such as stopping before the stop-line. At least 90 per cent were seen following traffic rules.
We are going to continue with this drive for some time. Motorists should have basic road sense and should not be following rules only when they spot a traffic policemen," Upadhyay said requesting motorists to help them in achieving their target.

A day after the 17-year-old son of a retired police officer allegedly shot himself to death with his father's revolver, the Versova police said the boy had sent an SMS to his father minutes before taking the extreme step, saying he is sorry he couldn't fulfill his family's expectations and that he no longer wishes to live.
Ashish Mohite, a Std XII student in Patkar College, Goregaon (West), shot himself in his building in Golden Sands, Versova, around 8pm on Tuesday. His parents were away, while his older brother was at home. He went inside the bathroom with the licensed revolver and allegedly shot himself in the head. His brother heard the noise and found him lying in a pool of blood. His father, Ramesh, was immediately alerted, who informed the police. The police are recording statements of the family members.
"According to his father, Ashish was disturbed over his studies. He was not very keen to pursue engineering like his brother, and was unable to score well in exams. He did not attend school regularly," said Arundati Rane, senior inspector of Versova police.
She added that on the day he shot himself, he had informed his parents that his teachers wanted to meet them as he was not regular in class and missed a lot of lectures. "He seemed to be under pressure due to studies and was unable to cope. We have not been able to take his mother's statement as she's not in a position to talk. We will talking to school officials," added Rane.
Ashish's father Ramesh retired as an inspector from Belapur police station in 2012. The Versova police have registered a case of accidental death.

Hello everyone.
I would like to read binary data from a txt file. I am using Cplex optimization studio 12.2.
I suppose I would need some script?
Could someone help me with this?
The file is formated like this:
1000000010010010 0000100010010010 0000100010010010 0000100010010010 0000100010010010 0010000010010010 0010010000010010 0010010000010010

Re: Read data from a text file2012-10-23T09:58:05Z in response to SystemAdminWhich API to CPLEX are you using? Some programming API like C, C++, or Java? Or are you working with OPL inside the CPLEX Studio and want to use the text file as a data source?
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-16T20:13:28Z in response to SystemAdminHi, I have the same question.
I am using the OPL inside the CPLEX Studio. I actually want to read each line of single txt file as a data input and resolve my model for it.
I am trying to figure out how to do that and any help will be appreciated.
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-16T21:43:56Z in response to RobopThis is quite OPL specific. You may want to try to ask this question in OPL forum.
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-16T22:17:15Z in response to RobopActually, I found that it is not too difficult. Reading this chapter in the user manual and the reference documentation for IloOplModelDefinition I could come up with the following:
1. Create a file Model.mod that contains the model definition. In my case it contains a scalar variable bound that will be changed in each iteration:
float bound = ...; dvar float+ x; minimize x; subject to { x >= bound; }
2. Create a script file Loop.mod that repeatedly loads the model, sets the data for bound and solves the model:
main { var i; for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { var source = new IloOplModelSource( "Model.mod"); var cplex = new IloCplex(); var def = new IloOplModelDefinition(source); var opl = new IloOplModel(def, cplex); var data = new IloOplDataElements(); data.bound=i; opl.addDataSource(data); opl.generate(); cplex.solve(); writeln( "Iteration " + i + ": objective: " + cplex.getObjValue()); opl.end(); cplex.end(); data.end(); def.end(); source.end(); } }
3. Run the Loop.mod file. This gives
Iterator 0: objective: 0 Iterator 1: objective: 1 Iterator 2: objective: 2 Iterator 3: objective: 3 Iterator 4: objective: 4
From here it should be easy to generalize that. In order to read data from a text file you can use IloOplInputFile.
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-16T22:47:02Z in response to SystemAdminThanks a lot for the answer!!!
However with the IloOplInputFile I can only read the string, right?
So if I have: int Dhttp://1..2http://1..3
and want to load it from data.txt, which is:
10 10 10
11 11 11
I have to read each line with IloOplInputFile, split it by " " and then call "parseInt"? So there is no easier way?
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-17T06:44:37Z in response to RobopSorry, I am not an OPL expert. Maybe try the OPL forum.
What comes to mind is to create a temporary data file and use that as data source. Assume that in the model you have
float+ D[1..2][1..3] = ...;
and in the text file you have
10 10 10 11 11 11
Then you could do something like this:
// Open data file var input = new IloOplInputFile("..."); // Create a temporary data file and write values for the D[] array var dataFile = new IloOplOutputFile("temp.dat"); dataFile.writeln("D = ["); dataFile.writeln("[" + input.readLine() + "]"); // Line "10 10 10" dataFile.writeln("[" + input.readLine() + "]"); // Line "11 11 11" dataFile.writeln("];"); dataFile.close(); // Register the temporary data file with the model. var data = new IloOplDataSource("temp.dat"); opl.addDataSource(data);Updated on 2014-03-24T22:41:42Z at 2014-03-24T22:41:42Z by iron-man
Re: Read data from a text file2013-01-20T20:10:38Z in response to SystemAdminDanielJunglas,
Thank you a lot for the answer and an advice!
I finally decided to use an excel file as input data file, because I have several 3-dimensional arrays. This link was helpful http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&context=SSCMS55&uid=swg21401340&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=all
But the thing with writing *.txt file to *.dat file works as well! So thank you again.

Global investors to buy 5 p.c. equity in RTIL
MUMBAI: Reliance Communications Ltd. (RCom) on Thursday announced that a group of leading international investors across the U.S., Europe and Asia have agreed to buy five per cent of the equity share capital of its 100 per cent owned tower company, Reliance Tower Infrastructure Ltd. (RTIL), for a consideration of Rs. 1,400 crore ($337.5 million).
The capital gains arising out of the stake sale will be about Rs. 1,200 crore ($280 million).
The transaction values RTIL at Rs 27,000 crore ($6.75 billion).
The transaction, according to a company statement, was heavily oversubscribed with a total order in excess of $2 billion. The transaction has resulted in substantial unlocking of value for RCom's two million plus shareholders. RTIL's equity valuation of Rs. 27,000 crore translates to about Rs. 135 per RCom's equity share, which is nearly 25 per cent of RCom's current market price of Rs. 565 per share.
RCom's residual 95 per cent stake in RTIL is valued at $6.4 billion (Rs. 26,000 crore) and the company will pursue opportunities for further unlocking of value through an RTIL Initial Public Offering (IPO) and/or strategic sale at an appropriate time.
According to Anil Ambani, Chairman, RCom, "we are excited about the tremendous growth potential in the Indian telecom infrastructure business. Our strategy to create a separate company for infrastructure business has resulted in tremendous unlocking of value for RCom shareholders.
