Compstat and Organizational Change in the Lowell Police Department: Challenges and Opportunities
This report examines the special challenges and opportunities that arise when small departments try to institute a program of organizational change that originated in much larger agencies. The report serves three purposes: (1) to provide a detailed description of Lowell's Compstat program that should interest police chiefs and other police personnel who are curious about Compstat; (2) to explain the benefits and challenges of implementing the various key elements of Compstat; and (3) to use our knowledge of Lowell to provide some insights into Compstat's future in law enforcement.
Compstat in Practice: An In-Depth Analysis of Three Cities
This report explores the relationship between the theory and practice of Compstat in three police departments of different size, organizational structure, and crime environment. It shows how police managers and officers adapted their routine tasks and activities to Compstat's focus on accountability, innovative problem solving, and crime fighting. The challenges they faced in doing so reflected the culture of the individual department, the availability of resources for personnel, the sophistication of technology, and management's commitment to the program. The distinct experiences of the three departments—Lowell, MA; Minneapolis, MN; and Newark, NJ—reveal Compstat's complexities, highlight its contributions, and provide some insights into the direction it is leading U.S. policing.
The Growth of Compstat in American Policing, Police Foundation Report
This research brief describes the national survey that assessed the number of U.S. police agencies using Compstat and measured the degree to which the elements of Compstat were part of their routine and structure. This is the second report in a series of three that resulted from the larger, NIJ-funded project, Compstat and Organizational Change: Findings from a National Survey.

3rd ANNUAL WALKIN' THE COUNTRY A HUGE SUCCESS!
Q Country 103.7 Personality Chris Allinger Walked Around
Tompkins County to Benefit the Food Bank's BackPack Program
Raising Over $31,000!
The Food Bank of the Southern Tier is pleased to announce that Q Countrys Walkin the Country fund drive was a huge success, raising $31,376.35 to benefit the Food Banks BackPack Program in Tompkins County!
From September 8th through September 12th, Chris strapped on a backpack and walked to every town in Tompkins County filling the backpack with donations.
Click here if you would like to make a secure, online donation. Just select "Walkin' The Country" in the drop down menu.
Special thanks to Cornell Athletics & Physical Education staff for their check of over $6,000 to get Chris started on his walk!
I couldnt be happier with the result. People got the message that there are children going hungry right here in our County, said Chris Allinger. We went out and asked for $3.00 to feed a child for a weekend. Look what happens when a community comes together.
About The Food Bank's BackPack Program
We believe that no child should ever go hungry. Yet, many children who receive free and reduced priced school meals are left without the nutrition they need on weekends and holiday breaks when school is not in session. By providing children who are at risk of hunger with a bag of nutritious food each Friday throughout the school year, the BackPack Program attempts to reduce this gap and help children return to school on Monday ready to learn.
During the 2012-2013 school year, the BackPack Program served 33 school districts in Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins counties. 2,075 children received packs each week. A total of 73,872 packs were distributed.

Pursuing the American Dream with Dignity
Ed. note: This blog was cross-posted from the United States Department of Labor.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a time for all of us to reflect on the heroes whose struggle and sacrifice have too often gone unrecognized. It is also a time to look to the future, to the challenges AAPI communities still face and how we can address them together. We recently had the opportunity to reflect when we inducted Chinese Railroad Workers into the Labor Department's Hall of Honor – the first time AAPI leaders have received this tribute.
This week, I had the opportunity to look to the future when I met with eight inspirational young people of Asian heritage who have benefited under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (known as DACA), a program implemented in 2012 by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. DACA offers two-year relief from deportation and the ability to obtain temporary work authorization to certain undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and who meet several other criteria.
These young people have overcome remarkable obstacles. Many hold down two jobs to support their families and save for college. Some work long hours and attend school at the same time, while others have been forced to live apart from their parents for seven or more years because of the mixed immigration status of their families.
One senior at the University of Maryland described how his parents, immigrants from India and Bangladesh, came to the U.S. to escape religious persecution. Growing up in Silver Spring, Maryland, from the age of 1, he learned English by watching the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." Although his parents were able to obtain work permits, they were eventually denied refuge and deported to India. DACA has allowed him to remain in the country, and he now works at a pharmacy and takes care of his younger brother. He misses his parents, but when asked about returning to India says, "I don't know what it's like to live in India; I grew up in this culture."
Many told stories of their families emigrating because they were told that they were going to be able to live and work in the country legally, only to realize that they had been scammed. They spoke of the loss of dignity, and of childhoods filled with the fear of deportation. Many of these young people and their parents were mistreated by employers − working in unsafe environments, paid below the minimum wage and regularly threatened with deportation. In the words of one DACA recipient, "everything stops because of that fear of being deported. [DACA] gave me a sense of normalcy, and now I have options."
I was struck by the remarkable optimism that these young people had about their future. They embody the qualities of what it means to be American – hardworking, courageous, innovative and resilient. And for all of them, DACA has changed the course of their lives, giving them a path to upward mobility, normalcy, and safety.
I am heartened that over a half million young people have obtained DACA status. But there is more work to do. There are potentially another half million eligible individuals who have not sought DACA, and the first wave of DACA recipients from the fall of 2012 are soon going to need to renew their two-year status. DACA also does not fix our broken immigration system.
That is why President Obama and this administration are doing everything we can to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year. We need reform that creates an earned path to citizenship, strengthens our borders, protects workers and holds employers accountable. We need reform that keeps families together and brings the system into the 21st century.
Despite facing so much hardship, these youth have contributed to our nation's strength and vitality. They deserve more than the uncertainty and anxiety of their current status; they deserve the embrace of the nation they know as home.
Let's get this done.
Tom Perez is the Secretary of Labor.

Sibling Rivalry tells the story of Zach McDowell and his stepsister Hannah. Hannah's biological mother has just passed away and they're both attending her wake. When they escape the display room to a nearby storage closet in the funeral home, suspicions abound.
What are they discussing? What secrets are they hiding? And more importantly, who's eavesdropping on their conversation?
Sibling Rivalry is an 8 minute short full of great performances, twists and a visually lush look.
First off, I want to thank each and every single person who contributed funds to our initial campaign, as well as anyone who shared, tweeted or just gave words of encouragement.
Even though we didn't meet our fundraising goal for the production portion, we were still able to round up an incredible array of extremely talented people to work on our film. It only forced us to be more creative! Being a first time director, they willingly threw themselves into the unknown and helped me achieve one of my lifelong dreams.
And now, with post-production winding down, it's almost time to birth our little creation. To do that, we need your help to enter as many QUALITY film festivals as possible!
Also, keep in mind, our plan is to develop a FEATURE-LENGHT version of Sibling Rivalry. The script is already in the third draft stage. It's a story just waiting to be told and its future depends on the success of our short.
Denis Theriault
The goal, with any film, is to reach as broad an audience as possible. And you first try to accomplish this by submitting to as many film festivals around the world as possible. Those festivals all have entry fees, most averaging around $50.
So here's our plea, we're trying to raise $750, which would allow us to submit to around 15 festivals. If we go over our goal, even better, it means we get to put our film in front of even more pairs of eyes.
Denis Theriault (Writer/Director) is the proud owner/operator of Fourth Wall Films. Under this umbrella, he conceptualized, directed and edited 20 online commercials for a major US telecommunication company's viral marketing campaign last year. Denis is also an accomplished actor, recently wrapping principal photography on Gia Milani's feature "All the Wrong Reasons" opposite Cory Monteith (Glee) and Kevin Zegers (Transamerica).
Colin Davis (Producer) works as a project manager and casting director at Egg Studios, a commercial production company in Halifax NS. Colin finds the talent for both in front of and behind the camera on commercial projects for most of the region's biggest companies. While working at Egg Studios he also tries to take on more narrative projects. Colin was the local casting director for the feature film "The Corridor". He also worked on a handful of short films as either a production coordinator or casting director.
Jennifer Millington (Producer) works as a producer and director at Egg Studios, a commercial production company in Halifax, NS. While at Egg Studios Jenn has had the opportunity to work a variety of different type of productions. This experience works directly with Jenn's second love in life, making movies. When she isn't working on the commercial side of the business she fills up her times producing local short films. Besides Sibling Rivalry, she has produced the Atlantic Film Festival Audience Choice Award winning Film Lucky. Jenn is always looking forward and actively searching for the next big idea.
Caley MacLennan (Editor) Credits include Hobo With a Shotgun, Blackbird (TIFF 2012 Winner of Best First Canadian Feature), The Corridor, Call Me Fitz and the forthcoming All The Wrong Reasons.
Kevin A. Fraser (Cinematographer) Credits include "More Blood, More Heart:The Making of Hobo With A Shotgun" and the documentary "Borderline".
Zan Rosborough (Sound) (Canadian Screen Awards 2012 Nominee) Credits include Grindhouse, Hobo With A Shotgun, The Disappeared, Blackbird and Haven.
Sarah Bell (CityTV's "Seed") as Hannah
Zach Faye (HBO's "Call Me Fitz") as Zach
Rounding out the cast are Ben Stone, Sara Campbell, Holden MacLennan and Corey Hinchey.
Check out our perks section! We have loads of cool stuff to thank you for your support! Lobby cards, DVD's, etc!!!!
Help spread the word by sharing the campaign on any/all social media platforms! Use that Twitter "share" button on this very page and let IndieGoGo know that we deserve to be on the front page of the site! Your word of mouth exposure is worth its weight in gold!
Thank you for ANY contribution you are able to make towards our project. If it weren't for people just like you, we wouldn't be able to make our dream a reality!
So, we've put together a teaser trailer to give you an idea of what our little film is all about. We hope you enjoy it and if you do, join us in our adventure! There are many cool perks for contributors.
Our poster was designed and created by Darcy Allan. Check out this talented artist at the website www.darcyallan.com or her blog http://darcyillustrations.blogspot.ca/
On behalf of the whole Sibling Rivalry team, we thank you for your continued support of our little film that could!

Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of an excess of insulin relative to food intake, energy expenditure, or both. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed. More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with intramuscular/subcutaneous glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery.
Humalog Mix75/25 is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients sensitive to insulin lispro or any of the excipients contained in the formulation.

Best Uses
This tool does exactly what I wanted it to do. It is versatile and very easy to use and handle. I love the one-hand operation versus a big, heavy, bulky circular saw. It makes accurate cuts in 3/4" plywood that are quite comparable to that of a table saw. The laser guide is an excellent feature. When you keep the laser on the line, you get a perfectly straight cut. I am so pleased with this tool. I don't know why I waited so long to get one.
The tool cuts great and the alignment notch is a good guide, but my laser doesn't seem to be aligned with the notch.
I have this saw close to years now & at first i thought that i had made a big mistake in purchasing it. But the more that i use it the more i like it. A friend & i recently completed a shed project & this saw proved its worth. I had to design & cut gussets for the roof trusses & in a short time they were all cut & put in place. Sure it won't cut 2x4's but that's not i bought it for. This saw excels in cutting osb, plywood & other lumber up tp 11/4 ". It really came in handy when i had to cut the plywood into strips for use as trim on the shed. As far as i'm concerned, this is a great little saw. As for the complaint about the safety switch,get used to safety switches on most of all the new power tools. The manufacturers have to protect themselves from lawsuits from stupid people who should not have a power tool in their hands.
this is a cool little saw with lots, and lots of Power!!! sure it would be cooler if it could cut a 2 x 4 with out flipping...but overall I absolutely love this thing, nice and lightweight...very powerful and love the laser...I have been showing it to everyone, your sales should pick up,haha
