CompStat in a Midsize Agency: The CompStat Process in Columbia
By H. Dean Crisp Jr., Chief of Police, and R. J. Hines, Captain, Columbia Police Department, Columbia, South Carolina
hen a series of armed robberies occurred in Columbia's Five Points neighborhood, a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, the police knew it was vital to solve the crimes quickly and put a stop to the robberies. A few years earlier, the police department's response would have involved sending an investigative unit to look into each robbery alone and without assistance from other units, and then forming an operational plan some time after several robberies had occurred.
Today, as part of the Columbia Police Department's CompStat management system, a new criminal intelligence unit (CIU) serves as the department's central warehouse for the collection and dissemination of pertinent information on crimes, suspects, and all other intelligence data. The CIU, along with the crime analysis unit, provided real-time information about the Five Points robberies to commanders, investigative sergeants, and line officers that resulted in the immediate arrest of the robbery suspect. This instantaneous response prevented more occurrences, calls, and complaints; it also increased our citizens' safety and sense of well-being.
The Problem
Five Points epitomizes the concept of the urban village, with its mix of detached houses, apartments and condominiums, shops, restaurants, and bars. The area is popular with students from the University of South Carolina (USC) and with soldiers and families from Fort Jackson. Five Points draws nearly 120,000 visitors each year.
When a series of armed robberies took place, the police department's Crime Analysis Unit brought the problem forward during the daily and weekly crime reports, which include GIS maps, profiles, and charts. The CompStat process placed the problem in the department's open forum, enabling a brainstorming and problem-solving session.
The Resolution
The police department sought the assistance of the University South Carolina Police Department, the Richland County Sheriff's Office, the Forest Acres Police Department, the local media outlets, the owners and managers of Five Points businesses, and the neighborhood organizations in and around Five Points.
The goal for the law enforcement agencies was to capture the suspects by saturating the area with officers; to that end, the special operations unit pooled all available staffing and resources from the other law enforcement agencies. Another important objective was the real-time sharing of crime reports, field reports, and investigative reports. The advantage of receiving real-time data allowed the information on the robberies to get to patrol officers within hours after an offense, thereby increasing officer awareness and increasing the possibility of apprehension.
The information sharing and saturation did not stop with law enforcement. The Columbia Police Department encouraged the media to immediately and widely disseminate news of the robberies to the community, making everyone who frequented the area aware of the robbery problem and encouraging those who were in the vicinity during the times of the previous robberies to come forward and tell the police about anything they saw that looked suspicious.
While law enforcement canvassed the area, they informed community leaders, residents, and merchants of the robbery problem, asked them to be attentive, offered crime prevention tips, and advised the bar owners to stop service to patrons who appeared to be inebriated because they tended to become the target of robberies and other violent offenses.
The prime objective was to apprehend the robbery suspects immediately in order to prevent the violence from escalating, to avert physical harm, and to decrease the fear of crime in our communities. Using the CompStat process, the police department tore down barriers to communication and information sharing between officers and units in the department and between the Columbia Police Department and other agencies. Where it used to take 30 days to create a BOLO (be on the lookout) advisory it now took only 30 minutes because of reorganization and improved communications.
Making CompStat Work
Part of the difficulty of implementing CompStat was the necessity of training the entire department—civilians, line officers and command staff—on the concept. The department also sought to reinvigorate the public by increasing the interaction between residential patrol officers and the people they served.
Implementing CompStat resulted in a reorganization of the entire police department. The reorganization was necessary to effectively and efficiently realize the objective of the CompStat process. The process fosters teamwork and encourages the use of staff and resources across old boundaries, thus eliminating competition between the geographic divisions as well as the displacement of crime from one area to the other.
There were some problems related to refitting the department structurally to accommodate the reorganization. There was a need for new office space to house the new divisions and units such as special operations, the homeless initiative, and the crime suppression units. The needs included reassigning personnel, buying furniture and equipment, running and upgrading cable for computers, and upgrading department-wide computer software. Upgrading department-wide software was necessary to allow vital sharing of information, especially mapped crime data and photo images of suspects. It was necessary to coordinate closely with other city departments to ensure that the software would work. For example, in order for the mapping program to be operational and the crime analyst trained on the program, it was necessary to reach out to the city's geographic information system office. These tasks, while viewed as routine and obvious, nevertheless required much coordination, were labor intensive, and required funding to complete the department's reorganization.
Another challenge was changing the views and thinking of the staff, from a reactive stance to an aggressive, proactive posture. The Columbia Police Department, like many police departments, had been relegated to policing by calls for service. This practice of responding to calls had taken root over the years and ingrained itself. The time-honored and proven method of policing, which involved all line officers going out into the community and interacting with the citizens, had been lost. The traditional method of recording detailed and relevant information in the initial incident report was lost as well. Columbia's officers were jumping from one call to the other with barely enough time to record offenses let alone conduct a detailed preliminary investigation. The call volume for the police department is about 14,000 a month. But officers now receive real-time data and are able to quickly formulate and put into action plans that lead to apprehension of wanted suspects.
It was also necessary to increase the lines of communication with neighboring law enforcement agencies and refine the mutual aid agreements. Although there had been long-standing mutual assistance agreements and cooperation on task forces devoted to battling narcotics and gangs, the departments did not exchange the daily reports of crime activity occurring in their jurisdictions. This information sharing is a vital component to apprehending wanted suspects and deterring potential suspects. The daily communication and coordination of staffing and resources between neighboring agencies have resulted in increased arrests. Neighboring agencies were brought in at the initiation of the Columbia CompStat process and remain active participants at weekly meetings.
The police department evaluated the CompStat process with the assistance of Mike Smith, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of South Carolina. The primary tool used to measure the effectiveness of CompStat was the monthly crime statistic reports produced by the department's crime analysis unit. These reports revealed that in 2005 Columbia enjoyed decreases of 13 percent in violent crimes and 18 percent in property crimes. The actual results were in line with the anticipated outcomes.
The most important lessons learned from the CompStat process is the power of both information sharing and the access to real-time data. For too many years law enforcement agencies have kept a tight seal on information about crimes in their jurisdictions, opting to handle crime concerns alone. They did not share crime data with other law enforcement agencies, played down the issue with citizens, and put a total ban on media access. The CompStat process has revealed that these practices do not help to apprehend dangerous criminals.
Access to real-time crime data is invaluable in a jurisdiction the size of Columbia, where the city has expanded into neighboring counties. Real-time crime data in the officer's hands have simply made it easier to apprehend wanted suspects, thus freeing up more time to interact with the community and to formulate new proactive plans to resolve crime concerns.
The CompStat process has created an air of openness, seamless communication, and enhanced teamwork in the department. It also improved relations with neighboring law enforcement agencies and community organizations. Most importantly, it has drastically reduced the incidences of crime within the city and increased the number of arrests.
The police department extends an open invitation to all law enforcement agencies to observe Columbia's CompStat meetings. ■

• Current literature on hyperactivity stresses the central role of short attention, distractibility, and impulsivity in contributing to the child's behavioral and learning difficulties. Less emphasis is presently placed on minor neurological abnormalities ("soft signs") and unproved theories of brain injury. There has also been a trend toward a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the problem in an attempt to meaningfully integrate medical and psychoeducational input. Professional awareness of the family's need for supportive counseling and the importance of appropriate educational placement for the hyperactive child has enhanced the effectiveness of intervention programs. Although stimulant medication has been clearly shown to favorably influence behavior ratings and measures of attention in hyperactive children, pharmacologic manipulation of deviant social behavior remains a very controversial subject.

LEAVITTSBURG - Trumbull County Republican Party central committee members, without the turbulence that Democrats went through to pick a candidate for county commissioner, have their person who will run for the seat on Nov. 4.
Retired Air Force reservist J.D. Williams of Liberty was approved in a unanimous voice vote Tuesday as the GOP candidate.
''I am running for office because I believe it is time for a new system of concepts, values and practices that will lead to a better Trumbull County,'' said Williams. ''We need to relearn the virtues that have afforded so much prosperity to many previous generations.''
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
J.D. Williams of Liberty approaches the podium to address Trumbull County Republican Party central committee members after they selected him as their candidate for county commissioner.
The selection pits him against Democrat Mauro Cantalamessa of Warren, who Trumbull County Democratic Party central committee members picked on July 26 to be on the ballot and run for the last two years of the term belonging to the late Commissioner Paul Heltzel.
Democrats also picked Cantalamessa to fill the seat through the election. He was sworn in on Monday.
Williams, the only Republican to apply to be considered for the ballot, said the security of the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna - one of Trumbull County's largest employers - is a big reason for getting into the race.
He believes Congress will go through another Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, process, so community and political support will be crucial to maintaining the base, which he said, has a payroll of $60 million.
''It's very important to fight for,'' said Williams, who previously commanded the 757th Airlift Squadron, part of the 910th Airlift Wing at the air reserve station. ''We are going to have to fight for our lives to maintain that airbase.''
Williams ran the May 2010 Democratic primary election for the former 65th District Ohio House seat, finishing second. He does not think that will hurt his chances as the Republican candidate now.
''I think in this area, with predominantly Democratic voters, I think that most people understand that sometimes if you are interested in voting on an issue in the primary, you need to switch to Democrat because sometimes there just aren't the field of candidates on the Republican ticket to vote for in the primary,'' said Williams, who still leaned toward the right.
''I ran as Democrat because I was a registered Democrat at that particular time,'' said Williams. ''I believe that this area would be accepting of a conservative Democrat, which I've always been conservative.''
Williams said he would like to ''explore the opportunities'' at Mosquito Lake, an asset that could be used to provide benefit to Trumbull County and review existing programs at the county to make sure they are not outdated or redundant.
The process Democrats used to pick Cantalamessa involved a secret ballot, which officials with the Ohio Democratic Party argue broke ODP and Democratic National Committee constitutions and has led to the suspension of the local party's franking privilege and access to an electronic voter database. Some local party officials argue the process, which included a public confirmation of Cantalamessa, abided by their rules and the rules of the ODP and DNC.
Williams was the only person nominated by GOP central committee members, who then immediately voted by voice to choose him as their candidate.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, July 10, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Practitioners are continuing to invest in electronic health records (EHRs), specifically to improve access for patients, according to an article published June 13 in Medical Economics.
The author of the article, Donna Marbury, reports on the initial findings of an ongoing survey by the consulting firm Software Advice. The results indicate that 35 percent of EHR users report investing more money in patient portals in 2014. More resources are being invested in patient portals than in any other application, including e-prescribing, lab integration, and health information exchanges.
According to Marbury, almost half of the respondents surveyed by Software Advice are from practices with three or fewer physicians; 26 percent are from practices with four to 10 physicians; and 27 percent are from practices with 11 or more physicians. Other findings include that a growing number of users utilize mobile and portable devices to access their systems. Additionally, respondents rated challenges less highly than they did benefits.
"In other words, a greater percentage of people said their EHRs delivered on key benefits 'well' or 'very well' than said their EHRs presented challenges to a 'major' or 'moderate' degree,'" the authors of the survey said, according to the Medical Economics article.

Highly accurate piezo-driven pressure controller produces no EM signature, offers 5X power/heat savings over solenoids in lower-speed applications
Parker's Active Pressure Controller (APC) series is a family of compact, modular controllers based on piezo actuator technology. The controllers maintain the pressure of non-corrosive to mildly corrosive gases using a piezo-actuated valve with an integral, closed-loop pressure control circuit. The APC consumes minimal power (<40 mA at 12 VDC — about 20% of a comparable solenoid in lower-speed applications) while offering exceptional response time (<20 ms). It produces a minimal EM signature, which makes it ideal for use near EM-sensitive equipment, which solenoids cannot do. Life expectancy of an APC is about 2 billion cycles; in addition, the piezo controlling the valve offers "soft actuation" so that the valve being controlled is never opened or closed ballistically. Between the long actuator life and soft actuation, the lifetime and accuracy of the APC is exceptional. The onboard analog control electronics provide outstanding accuracy (+/-0.2% FS typical). Inside the APC is Parker's RLP (Ruggedized, Laminated Piezo), a PZT disk laminated between two metal layers under heat and pressure. RLP's unique construction increases deflection 1000-fold from an unmodified 0.2 micron to 200 microns. The APC control scheme enables "set and forget" operation for applications where stand-alone operation is desirable. Simply tune the APC's onboard pressure set point adjustment to the desired level and walk away. The onboard control loop will maintain pressure at the set-point indefinitely. If preferred, the APC can also be controlled through external control hardware. The APC is custom-engineered to specific application requirements.
Parker builds each APC around the customer's application requirements, so you need not settle for "off the shelf" ranges. Standard pressure ranges include 0–3.63 psid up to 0–145 psid; flow rates can be controlled in the range of 0–40 slpm of air. Two body styles are also available with 10–32 threaded ports featured on the Upright body and face sealing ports incorporated into the Manifold Mount body. Custom configurations are also possible.
The APC offers many advantages over solenoid-operated pressure regulators.
Substantial development has taken place and the first commercial units are being delivered to several forward-thinking companies. A production line exists with the capacity to manufacture up to 750,000 RLP units per year. RLP (Ruggedized, Laminated Piezo) units operate the active pressure controller.

I have used front sight blanks that were intentionally too tall, you simply shoot and file down until it's right. They would have come from Midway or Brownell's.
July 9, 2006, 01:13 PM
I know Brownell's carries them, I believe Gun Parts Corp carries them, too
July 9, 2006, 02:44 PM
carries higher front sights for some surplus guns. Check with them.
July 9, 2006, 06:11 PM
Either Samco or Sarco carries them. I always get those companies confused. It's the company who imported most the of swedes, if that helps. Do a web search for "Sarco" or "Samco" and you should find it with no problem.
Red Tornado
July 9, 2006, 10:32 PM
Samco has several listed, but I don't know about the sizing. They're +1.5, +2, etc. but I don't know how to translate that. When I find out I'll order one from them as they have some other Swede accessories I 'need'. Really I need them. ;)
As an aside, I've never changed a front sight. Can I do this at home with a punch, or do I need a front sight tool?
July 9, 2006, 11:39 PM
I replaced mine with a punch. You need to either have someone else hold the rifle, which is what I did, or put it in a padded vice.
I used a +1.5 replacement. My full-lengh M 96 had a minimum sight setting of 300 meters. Now at 200 yards (the distance I shoot most often) the gun is perfectly zerod when the rear sight ladder is set at about half-way between the closest and longest range settings. That gives me some room to move it back to zero at 100 yards and still gives me room for adjustment for shoots at 300 or 400 or 500 yards. Of course, none of the range markings on the sight itself correspond with the settings anymore. I believe my 200 yard zero is actually at the "500 meter" setting.
I reccomend the +1.5, based on my experience. I think it would work better and give you more room for adjustments than a taller sight.
July 9, 2006, 11:49 PM
The front posts I replaced on mine were dove tailed in shape.
That required the replacements to be filed, ground, etc.
Are the new ones being sold already dove tailed? Does anyone know?

July 10, 2006, 09:27 AM
Thanks Trebor, that's kind of what I thought.
I got this information over at Curio and Relic Firearm Forum. The first link gives the meaning of all the numbers, apparently millimeters, and the second link give the info to calculate how much change you need to make in the front sight.
Many thanks to Bear8mm.
July 10, 2006, 06:50 PM
I put a taller front sight on my M96 also, bought it out of Shotgun News years ago, can't remember who from but the magazine is a really good one for getting parts for surplus rifles.
July 10, 2006, 06:57 PM
Found one at Brownells. Thanks!

When he opened that Laredo box Christmas morning and saw those boots, he had a grin from ear to ear and could not wait to put them on! He has worn them just about every day (except to work) and says that they are quite comfortable. I am very glad I chose to go with these boots! December 29, 2014

The first thing you need to do is to link it with the LINK command, q.v.
Since I haven't a clue what FLIST is or does or anything like that I'm
afraid I can't help you further!
If you link it successfully, you can then say RUN FLIST. God only knows
what will happen then! The program should begin execution. If it needs
logical names defined or command line arguments it may produce some
useful/helpful error messages. If it's derived from something on Unix,
forget about the useful/helpful messages. Unix doesn't do that!

A beautiful article. Thanks for sharing.
Most people who are struggling with their weight are probably struggling with the ideal of what their "perfect" body should look like. I know there are other reasons to do the PB, but I see this so often on this forum ("I'm not losing weight fast enough/I'm so fat and ugly/I hate my body") that I thought I'd share this article.
The main message: You are good enough RIGHT NOW, as you are RIGHT NOW. It's okay to be who you are and where you are RIGHT NOW. You are worthy of being happy with who you are RIGHT NOW. You do not have to wait another 20 pounds or 200 pounds to think you are worthy RIGHT NOW - because you are already worthy, RIGHT NOW.
The longer we put off living because we think we aren't good enough yet, the more time we're wasting.
Here's the article: http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/11/01...ion/index.html
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

The Primal Holla! Eating fat. Getting lean. Being awesome.
You were sick, but now you're well, and there's work to do. - Kilgore Trout
It's a good message, but I'm not sure I buy into the whole 'worthiness' thing. I want to get leaner and stronger because it would put me nearer my mental image of what I want to be, not to please anyone else or earn more self-esteem from myself. I think a life where you aren't constantly trying to better yourself physically and mentally is a pretty stagnant life. It's fine to accept who you are at the moment - and very healthy as well - but I see far too much total acceptance of a sub-par existence around me, not too little of it. A lot of people in my area could do with a hefty dose of 'I need to better myself'.
I've seen this attitude a lot. Women will put off vacations until they have that bikini body. Because they never get where they want to be, they never take that vacation. It's a waste of life.
I want to improve my body, I do. But, I'm not going to let the fact that I'm chubby keep me from living. I don't let the fact that I travel alone keep me from going on trips. Just because my life isn't exactly where I want it to be, I'll still party and live and enjoy as much as I can. At the same time, I'm working to improve my health and my strength. I want to be able to enjoy the choices I make as much as possible, and respect myself in doing so.
In other words - woohoo!
It's a fine line, and an important one. How do I be grateful and appreciate what I have, without settling for less than what's possible? How do I enjoy the journey, without getting hung up on the destination? Work to achieve my goals without thinking less of myself now?
Thanks, Griff, for bringing this up.
I wasted my twenties doing this. I never went on a solo holiday till i was 27, I never skied until i was 28 (i thought I was too heavy to) and now i'm setting up my own solo holiday business.I've seen this attitude a lot. Women will put off vacations until they have that bikini body. Because they never get where they want to be, they never take that vacation. It's a waste of life.

I know i'm still chunkier than the average girl but i've found guys are still attracted to me...very much so...i spent most of my twenties dateless and single.
Don't any of your DARE put your life on hold....it's short and precious.

Nice Article!
Primal Fist... I do see what you're saying. But I think some of us (and I am one) have a really hard time with balancing that desire to be lean and work towards a goal without having a huge dose of self-hatred about where we are right now. It's not like feeling WORTHY right now means we "give up", or "just accept" that we won't get to our goals. It's knowing that whatever goals we have and are working on are great, but we have to also be caring, supportive and loving of ourselves right now, and not put our self-approval and self-love off for months/years/...ever.
Some people have no problem doing that and that's great. But some of us equate "working on improvements" with "we suck." And it's that mindset we're working on... not giving up on our goals.
"Boy I got vision and the rest of the world is wearing bifocals" - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Thank you. I needed that.
Primal Fist, I do absolutely agree that there are too many people who don't work to better themselves. But, I think that in a lot of cases that comes from not believing that they can change. I've had a lot of conversations with overweight people who've asked me about weight loss (I've conspicuously lost quite a bit), but they tell me that they can't even make the simplest changes, like getting out and going for a walk every day. I know that couldn't possibly be true, but I think that seeing yourself as capable of getting in shape can require learning to love yourself first: "I may be fat and out of shape now, and the deck might be stacked against me, but I deserve to be as healthy and happy as possible."
On the other hand, there are some people who do seem to be motivated by self-loathing. Just from personal observation, these people typically have a difficult time understanding why finally getting skinny (or whatever their goal was) did not automatically translate into happiness.

Anywho, I saw this wreath and I had recently tried making a burlap wreath using a wire coat hanger and burlap garland. They did not turn out so hot. I think I didn't use enough burlap. So, I took the burlap from those and created this:
I used pipe cover from Home Depot for the wreath form. They are super cheap and Husband had just bought a bunch for some pipes in our basement and had about 6 feet leftover. So I stole that, cut it in half and made two wreath forms. Basically just put end to end and tape and viola! A wreath form!
Then I took the burlap from the failed wire hanger wreath (I bought the burlap garland at Michaels with a 40% off coupon for about $2.50.) and wrapped a piece around the form so you didn't see the black. I then folded the burlap in half width wise and hot glued it together. This gives it that poofy look.
Then I just zig zagged the burlap around the wreath using plenty of hot glue to stick it to the wreath where need be. You will be able to tell the spots that need filling in and just fill in with the garland as you go. I used one roll of garland for this wreath, but you could probably use less or more depending on how full you want your wreath. I personally, would rather it be more full, but I'm cheap and want another wreath out of my other garland, so I just used the one roll. Then, to hang it on the wall, I just took some red grosgrain ribbon I had laying around, tied it around the less-full spot on the wreath and hung it from that. I tried a bow, but with it doubling as a wreath hanger, it looked sort of wonky, so I just stuck with the strands.

Contra Costa Rerpublican Party Central (CCRP) Committee chairman Greg Poulos, has announced his resignation. Poulos follows the resignation of disgraced former chair and vice-chair Tom Del Beccaro, who also serves as Vice Chair of the California Republican Party, whose leadership is currently mired in sexual scandal.
Poulus was unelected, but was appointed as a member and chairman of the committee by Del Beccaro and was seen as Del Beccaro's sock puppet. Poulos and his dwindling supporters typically characterized any opposition to the Central Committee's incompetence, lack of transparency and financial ruin, as attempts to destroy the party.
Poulos and Del Beccaro's resignation come as the CCRP's ad hoc financial investigation committee nears the release of its report.
Knowledgeable sources suggest CCRP member Gene Kreps, recovering from knee surgery, would be in line to take over the chairmanship. Del Beccaro supporters Patty O'Day and Treasurer Darci Linn may also be considered.
Questions remain concerning culpability for the organization's longstanding debt.
Becky Kolberg
Contra Costa County Republican Party
Dear Becky:
I write this notice to formally resign my positions as Chair of the Contra Costa County Republican Party and central Committee member, effective immediately.
I joined this Party to make a difference in my community–to spread the word about conservative values and ideals, to help get Republicans elected, and to make our county and our state a better place to live, work, and raise our families. It has been a pleasure working alongside my fellow Republicans. I am proud to call many of these folks my friends. We have put in a lot of time and hard work together, and, despite the occasional challenges and clashes of local politics, we have accomplished much.
But the position of Chair has come to require more time than I am able to give. Going into the 2010 elections, Contra Costa will need a Chair able to devote even more time than usual to advancing the agenda of the Central Committee and doing our part to secure local and statewide victory at the ballot box.
After my resignation, I look forward to returning my energies full time to my family and business, and serving the efforts of the conservative movement and the Republican Party as I am able.
Therefore, I humbly submit my resignation, and wish the party continued success in the future.
Greg Poulos
Contra Costa Republican Party

"Like Terms"
It may help you to read Introduction to Algebra first
Like Terms
"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same.
In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
Note: the coefficients (the numbers you multiply by, such as "5" in 5x) can be different.
Are all like terms because the variables are all x
Are all like terms because the variables are all xy2
Unlike Terms
If they are not like terms, they are called "Unlike Terms":
|Unlike Terms
|Why they are "Unlike Terms"
|← these are all unlike terms
(xy, y and y2 are all different)
Combining Like Terms
You can add like terms together to make one term:
Example: 7x + x
They are both like terms, so you can just add them:
7x + x = 8x
By the way ... why don't we write "1x" ?
It is just easier to write x. Imagine you were adding eggs:
7 eggs plus 1 egg is 8 eggs could be written 7 eggs + egg = 8 eggs
Example: 3x2 - 7 + 4x3 - x2 + 2
Some of the terms are like terms.
Combine like terms:
(3x2 - x2) + (4x3) + (2 - 7)
Then add like terms:
2x2 + 4x3 - 5

The Pasquali Brothers
Late 19th century
Black and white photograph
The muscular Pasquali Brothers were one of many strongman acts on the music hall circuits. Combining their power with acrobatic skills must have increased their popularity. Strongmen always went down well with audiences. There was plenty for women to admire, and men to strive for. The training they did to get their muscular physiques was the forerunner of today's huge fitness industry. Some of those early pioneers influenced the development of formal strength training. Such techniques are now part of everyday life for all professional sportspeople, as well as many amateurs. One of the earliest showmen to gain international fame with a strongman act was Felice Napoli. He was an Italian circus and fairground performer, born in 1820. The Pasquali Brothers may not have been Italian at all. However, in this particular form of entertainment an appropriate name could help an act be accepted by an audience that wanted novelty mixed with tradition.

A 62-year-old Northampton County man is facing assault charges after he allegedly used a front-end loader to pin a 73-year-old woman against the ground, according to state police.
Police said it happened Saturday afternoon in the 1800 block of Potomac Street in Upper Mount Bethel Township when the man, who police are not identifying, drove a Cub Cadet front-end loader at the victim.
The man hit the victim with the front bucket and then pinned her to the ground by lowering the bucket, according to police.
The woman suffered bruising and red marks, police said.
The man is being charged with simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment.
Police did not provide any information on what may have led to the incident.

Can you imagine what the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line" would have been like without tunes by the Man in Black? Or what kind of movie "Ray" would have been without music by R&B great Ray Charles? How can you make a film about a famed musician if you're not able to use any of his songs in the movie?
See also: MGM sues producers of 'Raging Bull II'
That's exactly the problem faced by the Jimi Hendrix biopic "All Is by My Side," starring Outkast's Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) as the legendary guitarist. Experience Hendrix LLC, the company that owns the rights to the late rocker's catalogue and is run by Hendrix's sister Janie, released a statement last month regarding "All Is by My Side." The statement made clear that "no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation."
See also: The 1977 version of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is awesomely cheesy
The John Ridley film was unable to secure the cooperation of the Hendrix estate, and will therefore be unable to use any songs from Hendrix's fantastic repertoire. It's a Jimi Hendrix biopic without great tracks such as "Purple Haze" and "Little Wing," "If 6 Was 9" and "Foxy Lady." Why bother making a movie about arguably the world's most famous guitarist when you can't use any of his greatest hits?
See also: Woody Allen talks Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson
The producers have found a clever way of getting around that major obstacle, however. According to Rolling Stone, the film will instead feature songs by other artists that Hendrix performed with during his career. Songs such as the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and other famous rock standards including "Wild Thing," "Hound Dog," and "Bleeding Heart." All great songs, but they weren't Hendrix originals. Without that distinctive Hendrix sound, "All Is by My Side," is sure to be lacking somehow.
Other musical biopics have taken a similar route in the past when they were unable to secure the cooperation of the artists or their estates. "Backbeat," a film about the early Beatles in Hamburg, Germany, was able to use only music by other artists (such as Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally") that the band played as part of its shows. The only real Beatles song used in the film was the Tony Sheridan recording of "My Bonnie," which the band provided backup vocals for. The noticeable absence of Beatles material hurt the film, and "All Is by My Side" will likely suffer as well if it can't secure any Hendrix originals.
"All Is by My Side" is due in theatres next year.

The Wikipedia description of the story of Alice in Wonderland uses phrases and words such as "plays with logic," "nonsense," and "fantasy." But it could just as well be a description of the story of Barack in Washington.
Here are but a few points to illustrate:
– The governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, had to find out through Ecuadorian television that the Obama administration was going after her state over the recent law giving police the right to ask someone engaged in criminal activity to provide proof of citizenship. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced it on a trip to the Central American country where, as we all know, many high ranking American officials go to break news about high profile domestic issues back home in the states.
– As you may have heard, Attorney General Eric Holder was presented a video (seen by the world on the Fox News Channel) of two Black Panthers with billy clubs in hand physically threatening a white voter in front of a polling place in Philadelphia on election night 2008. His justice said they would not prosecute. I wonder, if the video had been of KKK voter intimidation of African-American voters, would Holder have had the same view?
– The Obama White House offered two congressional candidates jobs if they would not run against other Democrats in Pennsylvania and Colorado. This is against federal law because it is political interference into campaigns with the purpose of manipulating an outcome. Holder will not investigate or appoint an independent councel to investigate because he has to cover for his boss.
– Israel is intentionally provoked by a flotilla of ships that left from Turkey trying to break its blockade of Gaza. Israeli commandos boarded one ship and were attacked with knives and metal bars. One commando was picked up and thrown 30 feet from one deck to another. Most was caught on tape. Instead of calling Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu to offer his support for our long-standing ally and issuing a public statement to that effect – Obama calls the Turkish president expressing his condolences. Why didn't President Obama call the Turkish president and ask what the heck he was doing allowing ships to leave his docks with the sole intent of creating a confrontation with Israel?
– In his Father's Day proclamation, Obama makes note that families can come in the form of "two fathers." Two fathers? It is impossible to have two fathers. You can have a man raising a child who also has a homosexual lover in the home, which is what Obama is lauding, but you cannot have two fathers.
– His secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, has produced with federal government money a television advertisement appealing to workers who are in America illegally to report to the Department of Labor if they don't feel like they are being paid fair wages. She even gives illegal workers an 800 number to call.
– The seven experts who advised Obama on how to deal with offshore drilling safety after the Deepwater Horizon explosion are accusing his administration of misrepresenting their views to make it appear that they supported a six-month drilling moratorium – something they actually oppose.
– Obama White House communications director Anita Dunn cited Chinese Communist dictator Mao Tse Tung – responsible for the murder of millions of people – as one of her "favorite political philosophers."
– Fired General Stanley McChrystal said Obama spoke to him once in the first 70 days he was commander of our troops in Afghanistan. The commander in chief spoke to the commander of U.S. troops one time in 70 days?
– It was nearly two months into the Gulf oil spill crisis before Obama decided to personally speak with BP CEO Tony Hayward.
– Obama said about our country recently: "…whether we like it not, we remain a dominant military superpower…" Here the leader of the free world is suggesting that America's military might being a good thing is up for debate. What?
– Obama ceases National Day of Prayer ceremonies at the White House but invites gay activists to the White House and declares, "I want to be your champion."
– Obama is trying to force open homosexuality on the military with no regard for our heterosexual troops who often have to shower and bunk together.
– Obama rammed through a federal government takeover of the health care industry against the will of the American people.
The inmates are running the asylum, folks. The American people elected a far-left ideologue who has never so much as managed a lemonade stand, and who only halfway knows what he is doing, to be the president of the United States.
God, help us.

Remember your school nurse? Their jobs might have changed over the years, but the role they play is just as important.
May 7 is a day to celebrate the people who dedicate their days to the lives of others -- it's National School Nurse Day.
"Kids and nursing are my passion they are," said Bend-La Pine school nurse Marylou Paterson.
For 25 years, Paterson has been able to make her passion her career.
"We're part mother, but we're really involved in making sure that we are representing their parents at school -- not trying to become their parents," Paterson said.
She's part of an important group of nurses that serves the students and faculty of Bend-La Pine Schools.
"What I tell parents is we are the bridge between education and health and the medical needs of the students," school nurse Margo McDonald said.
Some of those needs can't always be fixed with a Band-Aid.
"Each day, there's always new issues to be dealt with, and you are constantly having to think on your feet," said Bend-La Pine school nurse Meg Moyer.
But with the constant challenge and hard work comes the reward of helping others.
"I had flowers from the mother of one of my diabetics, and when I thanked her, her response back was, 'You help me to breathe easy every day' -- and that meant so much more than the flowers," Paterson said.
"Just to meet even the smallest of needs of one of those students -- it's a blessing, and you walk away knowing you've done your job," McDonald said.
It's a job that's appreciated every day by helping the growing and learning children of the Central Oregon community.

I eat 100%, unless I sometimes feel like eating something else. I don't plan cheats, or have a specific percentage, or have a specific cheat day, or meal. Sometimes I just eat cheats because I feel like it. For example, yesterday I had some thin-crust pizza. It wasn't gluten free, or paleo, or anything of the sort - just plain ol' gooey cheesy glutinous pizza. Am I worried about it? Nope, in fact I forgot all about it until this thread. Do I eat this on a regular basis? Nope, in fact the last time before yesterday I've had non-primal food was several weeks ago.
The way I see the 80/20 rule is that you should always strive to eat "clean", but sometimes it's okay not to and it's not worth worrying about. If I die earlier because I've had a beer, or a pizza, or whatever else, once in a while, so be it - better than denying myself all the non-primal things I like my whole life just because I want to eek out a few extra years.
Start Date: 25-06-12 @ 161lbs
Goal Reached: 30-09-12 @ 143lb. Now bouncing between 145lb - 149lb. I'd like less bounce and more consistency :-)
Started Cross Fit 20.12.12 ---- Can't wait to submit my success story on the 1st anniversary of starting primal.
I take the 20% to mean, if you slip or are out somewhere, don't worry about it or beat yourself up.
Part of being primal is not stressing the small stuff.
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

Winterbike: What I eat every day is what other people eat to treat themselves.
TQP: I find for me that nutrition is much more important than what I do in the gym.
bloodorchid is always right
80% savoury, 20% sweet.
I usually stick to it, but sometimes I'm more 70/30... Sometimes 50/50
I try to be 100% all the time. As a result we don't go out to restaurants hardly at all anymore. Any slips I make are usually because of lack of knowledge or lazyness (I eat less than I should). But I don't see any point in purposely doing something that will harm my body. When I was younger I did, though. Age changes your point of view.

Syracuse, NY -- Well, we HAD a Chick-fil-A in CNY for a time. Sort of. It was locked on a college campus in Cortland, but still... What's amazing about the following story is Truett Cathy, interesting in and of himself, but the fact he's starting a new restaurant... at 87. Read on...
From Nation's Restaurant News:
Chick-fil-A's Cathy tries his hand at pizza
ATLANTA -- Truett Cathy, the 87-year-old founder of the Chick-fil-A quick-service chain, is opening a pizza concept this week about 20 miles south of Atlanta. The concept, to be called Upscale Pizza, also will serve salads, soups, sandwiches, hot dogs and shakes, but not the chicken sandwiches Cathy developed 40 years ago, according to media reports.
Cathy told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he has no intention of parlaying the family-oriented pizza place into a chain. Instead, Cathy said, he will continue to focus on his 1,400-unit chicken chain, where he continues to serve as chairman and chief executive. He said he wanted to give the community of Fayetteville, Ga., an affordable family option and noted that it would be the last restaurant concept he would launch. Past endeavors include a coffee shop-like concept called Dwarf House, which predated Chick-fil-A.
Well, we HAD a Del Taco in CNY for a time. One was in Henrietta, near Rochester. When I made "business trips" to Rochester, DT was on the day's schedule. Looooved it. Then the company saw fit to pull from Upstate New York and ALL of New York state. Stuped Del Taco. Then you go and do this:
New Hot Sauce from Del Taco
Del Taco debuted its Del Inferno sauce yesterday.
The menu development, which captures its heat from the ancho chili pepper, is Del Taco's first new hot sauce in 15 years.
According to research performed by Certified Laboratories, an independent lab in Plainview, New York, Del Inferno is almost three times hotter than any of the sauces offered by Del Taco's nearest competitors. This is according to the Scoville scale, which is a measure of the hotness, or piquancy, of a chili pepper.
"There's no doubt about it, Del Inferno will set your scalp ablaze," says Mimi Somerman, chief marketing officer at Del Taco. "A little Del Inferno goes a long way and we're certainly meeting the needs of our spice-loving customers looking for a bigger, bold taste."
Del Taco now offers four different kinds of packaged sauces--mild, Del Scorcho, Del Inferno, and ketchup.
To introduce the new sauce to southern California, Del Taco's decked-out Del Inferno fire truck will be making sampling stops at beaches, fire stations, skate parks and concert venues beginning May 10 with the Fire Service Recognition Day in Los Angeles.
Must... Get... Some...
On to...
* sealless comments, "Cannot argue with the Culvers comment. If you are going to harm your insides, do it with a Butter Burger and some frozen custard. You can have your Sonic down South -- bring us the Midwest's best, Culvers."
* cnyobserver comments, "Hey Bob -- Check this hot dog site out. I saw it posted over on the Dining Forum and I thought of you immediately. I am not the biggest fan of hot dogs but this made even me hungry."
As CNY has its Heid's and Hoffmann's, so NJ has its hot dog stands... everywhere. Vendors will set up shop from a truck or cart in parking lots or dirt turnoffs on rural roads that are highway connections. They know the traffic. People know them. They stay the day, pack up and go home, get up and do it all over again. And their stuff is to-die-for. For a big screen glimpse of this, rent the indy gem "The Station Agent."
That is all.
Talk to me.

Wanted Guns

- Add to MyGames
Combining third person action, horse-riding and sneak'em up assassination with a cinematography inspired rail shooter FPS mode, Wanted Guns is a story driven action game for the PC set in Mexico and the Wild West during the American Civil War. You play as Reverend Devlin, an unforgiving priest whose dubious past as former leader of Los Gauchos, a Mexican gang of gold-thieving gunslingers, has finally come back to haunt him.
One eye short, Reverend Devlin was not exactly what you'd expect from your regular kind of preacher. The years had not been his friend; wrinkles creased his scarred face and cracked his pale skin alongside his hard grey eyes. Most people would have mistaken him for the devil himself, were it not for the white priest collar encompassing his neck while adding credibility to his appearance.
Mexico, 1852. An accomplished gunslinger and sly dog, Devlin arranges to ambush the hideout of his Los Gauchos gang, driving them away and staging his own death in the process. Having deceived his Mexican companions and taking their stolen gold with him, Devlin is unluckily confronted by one of his comrades-in-crime, Santiago Pedraza. A deadly fight erupts between the two; a struggle barely triumphed by Devlin paying the price of loosing his right eye to a dying Santiago's red stained knife. Leaving his former companion to rot on the sun licked desert plains of Mexico, Devlin leaves for Texas with the stolen gold where he settles down and becomes a priest.
10 years later, during the midst of the American Civil War, a band of seemingly unemployed mercenaries led by a ruthless Mexican unexpectedly leads an attack on Devlin's residence while he is out of town. Plundering his church and thoroughly butchering every living soul, the mercenaries carry off with Devlin's sinful past that is his stolen gold. When he returns home, Devlin is welcomed by an ash covered landscape decorated by sinister murder. Tracks lead to El Cuervo Perdido, an uninviting ghost town hidden away in Durango, Mexico. As it turns out, the town is taken by a band of mercenaries known as the Blood Hounds. Their leader, Mercenario Perro Sangriento, is a man Devlin once knew by the name of Santiago Pedraza
