People over 65 in Sydney are being sought for a new meal delivery trial to test how simple dietary changes can impact late-life health.
Researchers say older people tend to eat less than young people, and are more at risk of nutritional deficiencies. They hope a new study will reveal the best diet for seniors' health and wellbeing.
Over four weeks, participants will have all of their meals and snacks delivered to their door, with recruits randomly assigned to one of four diets with varying amounts of carbohydrates and fats.

"Older people are at higher risk of developing nutritional deficiencies because they tend to eat less than younger people," Dr Rosilene Waern from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre told 9NEWS.
"We want to explore which combination of nutrients can help people in later life to improve their metabolic health and insulin resistance, their gut and microbiome, physical performance and mobility and also examine how certain diets affect the inflammatory autoimmune response," Dr Waern added.
The trial will begin from April and will accept participants for the next 12 months.

A Feminine Feast Testimonials
"Working with Sabrina has given me confidence to step into the next level of my life's calling as a facilitator and empowerment coach. She has a level of mastery and depth in her understanding of the divine feminine which has allowed me to experience a quantum leap in my personal and professional evolution. If you're a woman who wants to embrace your lusciousness, wisdom and power, I HIGHLY recommend you work with Sabrina!"Christabel Zamor, Founder of HoopGirl & Goddess Blossom Circles
"It is a rare occurrence I meet someone for the first time, and they grab me in a deep and profound way that leaves me with a sense of truly being seen and loved for ALL of who I am, including my quirks, kinks, and neurosis. Sabrina has that gift. It is not something that she does or strives for, it's innately who she is. Her commitment to living and connecting from her deepest heart, inspires and uplifts me to do the same. She reminds me that I am not in this world alone. No matter what happens in my life, in all the pain and heartbreaks that may occur, that they are a reminder to open, and breathe, and realize that I am love. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sabrina, will not only be blessed by her gifts, but will be effortlessly empowered to awaken their own. Just like being in midst of the sun, you cannot deny the light."Christy Svanemyr, Life Coach
"Sabrina has the most wise and gentle spirit I know. Working with and being with Sabrina continually opens up the tenderness of my heart, gets me to be here now, and has changed my life. She always takes that extra step that is rare for many teachers -- that extra personal attention to go out of her way to reach out to me and bring me to my highest potential, and to always bring me back to love."Syda Day, Author and Professor
"Through attending her circles I've come to know and appreciate both the quintessence of my feminine nature and that of other women. We all bring our unique embodiment of She to the circle; we purr, growl, weep, and laugh in an alchemical brew. We support each other's life journeys in ways I never imagined possible. Sabrina's circles truly are a Feminine Feast: a home for my heart, a sanctuary for my body, a celebration for my soul."Dominica Kriz, Professor
"Before I began working with Sabrina, I experienced my emotions mainly in my head, as a positive or negative mood, as churning thoughts or tension, as a kind of continual rolling dialogue of words and images. After working with her, I more often experience my emotions as energy, in my body, and am much more able to let that energy run through me. When the emotions are pleasant, I glean more pleasure from them. (more…)Robin R., Editor

San Andreas Fault in Santa Cruz Mountains – large quakes more frequent than previously thought
Recent paleoseismic work has documented four surface-rupturing earthquakes that occurred across the Santa Cruz Mountains section of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) in the past 500 years. The research, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, with assistance from the California Geological Survey, suggests an average recurrence rate of 125 years, indicating the seismic hazard for the area may be significantly higher than currently recognized. The observations help fill a gap in data on the seismic activity of the SAF in northern California, particularly south of San Francisco.
Geologists Thomas Fumal and Tim Dawson conducted paleoseismic studies at Mill Canyon, near Watsonville, California. They documented evidence for four earthquakes, the most recent being the 1906 M 7.8 San Francisco event. They conclude that each of the three earthquakes prior to the 1906 quake was a large magnitude event that likely ruptured most, or all, of the Santa Cruz Mountains segment, producing similar physical deformation as the 1906 quake.
In addition to filling in a data gap about the SAF in this region, this research adds to the understanding of how the SAF behaves, in particular whether individual segments of the fault system can produce destructive earthquakes and how often. This study joins to a growing body of work that suggests the SAF produces a wider array of magnitudes than previously appreciated in the current seismic hazard models.

Seattle Fault Zone – 900-930 AD earthquake larger than previously thought
A fresh look at sedimentary evidence suggests the 900-930 AD rupture of the Seattle fault possibly produced a larger earthquake than previously recognized. The Seattle fault zone, a series of active-east-west trending thrust faults, poses seismic threat to the Puget Sound region.
The 900-930 AD rupture is the only known large earthquake along the Seattle Fault, making geological records of prehistoric events the only clues to the earthquake potential of the fault.
While a graduate student at the University of Washington, Maria Arcos looked at tsunami and debris flow deposits – both evidence of a paleo-quake – in the coastal marsh at Gorst, Washington. She also identified evidence of at least three meters of uplift that preceded a tsunami, which was followed by a sandy debris flow from Gorst Creek, and suggests that the 900-930 AD quake covered a greater geographic area than previous fault interpretations.
The revised height and width of deformation caused by the quake may influence current interpretations of the Seattle fault's structure. This study found a minimum of three meters of uplift at Gorst, which is double the amount of previous fault models for the same location. A broader zone of deformation, says Arcos, may indicate either a wider zone of slip along the dip of the fault, a shallower dip or splay faults farther to the south.

Staphylococcus aureus is a feared pathogen (MRSA, multi-resistant S. aureus) due to frequent resistances against many antibiotics, especially in hospital infections. Researchers at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut have identified immunological processes that prevent a successful immune response directed against the pathogenic agent. The delivery of bacterial proteins with RNA adjuvant or messenger RNA (mRNA) into immune cells allows the re-direction of the immune response towards an active defense against S. aureus. This could be of significant importance for the development of an effective vaccine. PLOS Pathogens has published these research results online on 25 May 2017.

Two-dimensional magnetic structures are regarded as a promising material for new types of data storage, since the magnetic properties of individual molecular building blocks can be investigated and modified. For the first time, researchers have now produced a wafer-thin ferrimagnet, in which molecules with different magnetic centers arrange themselves on a gold surface to form a checkerboard pattern. Scientists at the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute published their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
Ferrimagnets are composed of two centers which are magnetized at different strengths and point in opposing directions. Two-dimensional, quasi-flat ferrimagnets...

May 5: Latest report by monitor faults lack of scrutiny by APD brass
ABQJournal: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The independent monitor overseeing Albuquerque police reform said in a new report that the lack of scrutiny the department's highest ranking officers give use-of-force cases is "mystifying" and "startling."
James Ginger, the independent monitor overseeing reform, said in the report's summary that his team has noticed a "palpable shift" in the police department's approach to changes. The report was critical of the department's high-ranking supervisors and command-level officers, accusing them of "deliberate non-compliance" in some cases.
May 5: Audit: ICE officers lack training, lose track of undocumented immigrants
DENVER Channel: A government audit reports ICE agents are not getting enough training and are losing track of undocumented immigrants.
The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General conducted an audit at ICE offices in Atlanta, St. Paul, Seattle and Washington, D.C. The visits took place from June 2016 to October 2016. The audit focuses on people who are out of detention facilities.
The report shows deportation officers are overseeing 1,700 to 10,000 cases of people waiting to have an immigration hearing. ICE personnel agreed that the workloads are unmanageable, yet ICE has not tried to determine what is achievable and what would alleviate the burden.
Training is an issue in the agency, too.

May 4: FBI report finds officers 'de-policing' as anti-cop hostility becomes 'new norm'
Washington Times: An unclassified FBI study on last year's cop-killing spree found officers are "de-policing" amid concerns that anti-police defiance fueled in part by movements like Black Lives Matter has become the "new norm."
"Departments — and individual officers — have increasingly made the decision to stop engaging in proactive policing," said the report by the FBI Office of Partner Engagement obtained by The Washington Times.
May 4: Some Reality Regarding "Mentally Ill" Inmates
Assoc. for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs (ALADS) Board of Directors: A recent Associated Press story about the population of the Los Angeles County Jail system and the increase in meth-fueled inmates was notable for the utter lack of interest in who were victims of the jail population, be it the victims of the crimes or the deputies they attack while in custody.
Let's be clear that while those in jail may suffer from mental illness, they are still legally responsible for their crimes; their victims suffered no less because of the persons accused of the crime were mentally ill. We do not accept the excuse that because of their mental illness, an inmate's attacks on jail deputies should be excused. In 2016, over 195 deputies were the victims of " gassing" attacks (the throwing of urine, feces or semen) by aggressive jail inmates who had either actually had mental health issues or used the claim of "mental illness" to attempt to excuse their behavior. Attacks on deputies should not be accepted as just being "part of the job."
2015-2106 Biennial Report Chicago Police Board
May 4: Police have killed nearly 200 people who were in moving vehicles since 2015, including 15-year-old Jordan Edwards
Washington Post: Since January 2015, police nationwide have killed at least 193 people who were inside vehicles at the time they were shot, according to a Washington Post database that tracks fatal police shootings. In 86 of the cases, officers say the person was in possession of a weapon, most often a firearm. But in 76 of the cases, the person killed was "armed" only with the vehicle itself, according to police. In at least 17 cases, police acknowledge that the person killed was in the act of fleeing, was a passenger in a vehicle, or was in a vehicle that was not in motion and did not pose a threat to officers. (There are 14 cases where it remains undetermined if the person was armed or if police claim the person was using the vehicle as a weapon).
May 4: DOJ: 'insufficient evidence' to charge officers in Sterling shooting
WBRZ: BATON ROUGE – The Department of Justice has officially announced that the two Baton Rouge Police Department officers who were involved in the shooting death of Alton Sterling will not be charged, citing "insufficient evidence."
Acting United States Attorney Corey Amundson for the Middle District of Louisiana said that he along with all of the agents and prosecutors involved in the federal investigation agreed that there was insufficient evidence to charge BRPD officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II with a federal civil rights violation.

April 21: Fewer shootings by police — that's the goal of new rules adopted by the L.A. Police Commission
LA Times: The Los Angeles Police Commission voted Tuesday to require officers to try, whenever possible, to defuse tense encounters before firing their guns — a policy shift that marks a significant milestone in the board's attempts to curb shootings by police.
The new rules formally incorporate a decades-old concept called "de-escalation" into the Los Angeles Police Department's policy outlining how and when officers can use deadly force. As a result, officers can now be judged specifically on whether they did all they could to reduce tensions before resorting to their firearms.
April 21: Tennessee Sheriff Pleads Guilty to Federal Corruption and Civil Rights Charges
DOJ: The sheriff of Fentress County, Tennessee, pleaded guilty today to three counts of honest services fraud and one count of deprivation of rights under color of law.

April 20: When Warriors Put on Badges
Marshal Project: Today just 6 percent of the population at large has served in the military, but 19 percent of police officers are veterans, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data performed by Gregory B. Lewis and Rahul Pathak of Georgia State University for The Marshall Project. It is the third most common occupation for vets behind truck driving and management.
The attraction is, in part, the result of a web of state and federal laws — some dating back to the late 19th century — that require law enforcement agencies to choose veterans over candidates with no military backgrounds.
April 20: Supreme Court Rules States Can't Keep Criminal Fines Of Exonerated.
New York Times: In a seven to one ruling, the Supreme Court struck down a "Colorado law that made it hard for criminal defendants whose convictions were overturned to get refunds of the fines and restitution they had been ordered to pay." Only Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. Under the state law, those cleared by the courts had "to file separate civil suits and prove their innocence with clear and convincing evidence to obtain reimbursement." The state argued the principle was similar to how states are not required to reimburse those wrongfully convicted for their time in prison. However, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority that the plaintiffs were seeking their own funds, "not compensation for temporary deprivation of those funds." She added, "Colorado may not presume a person, adjudged guilty of no crime, nonetheless guilty enough for monetary exactions."
April 19: Indiana lawmakers want audit of untested rape kits

AZ State University: This report describes the features and implementation logistics of the Criminal Research Information Management Evaluation System (CRIMES), which is an innovative records management system (RMS) model developed to offset the cost and meet the RMS needs of smaller law enforcement agencies
April 18: Chicago police officers vote in new union president
AP: The vote came as the Chicago Police Department is under intense scrutiny due to the 2014 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by Officer Jason Van Dyke. The shooting of the black teenager resulted in first-degree murder charges against the white officer.
April 18: Police reform and a new superintendent — one year later
Chicago Sun-Times: This week, the Chicago Sun-Times sat down with Police Board President and task force co-chair Lori Lightfoot to talk about police reforms not yet implemented one year later.
The questions are particularly timely, now that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to review and retreat from police reform agreements nationwide makes it clear that there will be no court oversight, and that Emanuel will be on his own to implement police reform.
April 18: City Council asks Mayor Condon to cap overtime, enhance civilian oversight in negotiations with Spokane Police Guild
Spokesman: The Spokane City Council wants Mayor David Condon to take a hard line on police overtime and bolster the authority of the civilian overseeing the department when negotiating the city's next police contract.
The panel signed a letter Monday night to the mayor highlighting their priorities in talks with the Spokane Police Guild, whose contract expired at the end of last year. The contract rolls over until a new agreement is negotiated between the union and the city.
April 18: Police Foundation Releases New Infographic on the Use of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in Law Enforcement
April 18: AZ. Governor Ducey signs legislation in support of law enforcement
PHOENIX (KGUN9-TV) – Arizona Gov.Doug Ducey today signed the legislation adding tougher sentences for assaulting an off-duty law enforcement officer.
The bill Ducey signed is called the "Blue Lives Matter" law. It has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers and civil rights groups who say it is an affront to the "Black Lives Matter" movement that protests police killings of black people and racial profiling.
Backers say even off-duty officers deserve higher protections.
The Bill adds a tougher sentence if the assault was motivated at least in part because the victim was an officer.
April 17: Jeff Sessions: 'Avoid harmful federal intrusion'
USA Today: Our first priority must be to save lives and restore public safety.
Violent crime is surging in American cities. To combat this wave of violence and protect our communities, we need proactive policing. Yet in some cities, such policing is diminishing — with predictably dire results.
April 17: Deaf Justice Coalition Announces Launch of NYPD Pilot Program to Improve Accessibility for Deaf and Hard of Hearing New Yorkers
NYLPI.org: New York, NY – April 17, 2017 – The Deaf Justice Coalition announced the launch of a pilot program today by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) aimed at improving access to law enforcement services for people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH). Several years of negotiations between the Deaf Justice Coalition, a New York-based coalition of d/Deaf rights advocates, and the NYPD led to the
creation of this program in three police precincts in Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. The program will require the NYPD to provide in-person, on-site American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters upon request and to equip officers with handheld tablets for video-based ASL interpreting.
April 17: Attorney General Jeff Sessions has brought sweeping change to the Department of Justice.
The Hill: In just two months as the nation's top cop, Sessions has moved quickly to overhaul the policies and priorities set by the Obama administration.
April 16: Our Views: Judge oversight likely to stay over cops, jail
The advocate: His first 100 days in office have included numerous lessons for Donald Trump about the limits of his power as president, from international crises (Syria, North Korea) that the United States can influence but little, and duels in Congress that don't play out with passage of the president's favored legislation (health care).
The same is likely to be the case with a new initiative, a reconsideration by the U.S. Justice Department of consent decrees with local law enforcement agencies, including the New Orleans Police Department.
April 16: How Jeff Sessions is helping bring in the 'Trump era'
Washington Examiner: "This is a new era. This is the Trump era," Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared from the U.S.-Mexico border last week.
Since he became the nation's top law enforcement officer, the former Alabama senator has been carrying out many of President Trump's campaign promises — and he has done so perhaps the most smoothly of any administration official.
Sessions may have had a rocky confirmation, but he has been "moving very quickly to do the things he said he would," John Malcolm at the conservative Heritage Foundation told the Washington Examiner. And he's carrying out his mission without a team in place.
Trump has yet to nominate hundreds of lower-level officials throughout the Justice Department, all of whom must be confirmed by the Senate. And yet, he is carrying out his agenda.
Here are some of the ways Sessions has done just that:
April 14: Law enforcement officials look to drones as way to improve public safety
News Observer: RALEIGH NC: As drones become more readily available, the technology has caught the eye of public safety officials who see them as a new tool to keep first responders and the public safe.
A growing interest among law enforcement and emergency medical providers in using unmanned aircraft systems has prompted an aviation technology group at N.C. State University to develop some best practices and spread the word about what is happening.
April 14: Audit Cites Training Deficiencies in Rising Reno Jail Deaths
AP: After a newspaper investigation revealed a sharp increase in suicides and in-custody deaths at a Nevada jail, an independent audit found serious deficiencies in training and mental health care for inmates.
April 11: Federal judge denies NAACP-LDF motion to intervene in Baltimore consent decree case
Baltimore Sun: A federal judge has denied a request by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to intervene in the consent decree case between Baltimore and the U.S. Department of Justice, expressing confidence that the federal government will honor the police reform deal he approved and entered as an order of the court on Friday.
The NAACP-LDF, a leading national civil rights legal organization, had filed a motion to intervene on behalf of local activist Ralph E. Moore Jr. and Community Churches for Community Development, a local advocacy organization, arguing they had a stake in the case as individuals who had suffered unconstitutional policing in the city.
The group had expressed concern that the Justice Department, which initially brought the complaint against the city to force reforms, would not follow through because of a change in position — namely, toward skepticism of such federally-backed law enforcement reform efforts — under the Trump administration.
April 10: Attorney General Jeff Sessions Announces New Initiatives to Advance Forensic Science and Help Counter the Rise in Violent Crime
US DOJ: As part of the Department's efforts under the Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety (Task Force), Attorney General Jeff Sessions today announced a series of actions the Department will take to advance forensic science and help combat the rise in violent crime.
These actions are being undertaken on the expiration of the National Commission on Forensic Science (NCFS) and will increase the capacity of forensic science providers, improve the reliability of forensic analysis, and permit reporting of forensic results with greater specificity. The Task Force's Subcommittee on Forensics will spearhead the development of that strategic plan.
April 10: Washington Labor Lawyer Eric Dreiband Could Run DOJ Civil Rights Unit
KAZU Org: Attorney General Jeff Sessions is recommending the White House nominate Washington labor lawyer Eric Dreiband to lead the Justice Department's civil rights division, according to two NPR sources briefed on the hiring process.
Dreiband represents companies at the law firm Jones Day, where his law partners included Donald McGahn, now the White House counsel. Dreiband served as the top lawyer at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under President George W. Bush and previously worked in the office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, where, according to his law firm biography, he led the investigation and successful prosecution of Clinton associate Webster Hubbell.
April 10: FBI is reviewing terrorism-related tips
Federal judge denies NAACP-LDF motion to intervene in Baltimore consent decree case
AP: WASHINGTON — The FBI has been reviewing the handling of thousands of terrorism-related tips and leads from the past three years to make sure they were properly investigated and no obvious red flags were missed, The Associated Press has learned.
The review follows attacks by people who were once on the FBI's radar but who have been accused in the past 12 months of massacring innocents in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, injuring people on the streets of New York City, and gunning down travelers in a Florida airport
April 10: FBI's digital evidence locker provides fascinating look at more than a century of crime fighting
Chronicle: The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a huge database of photos and evidence from its decades of fighting crime in the United States.
Founded on July 26, 1908, the bureau was born when U.S. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte rounded up a group of federal investigators to work in conjunction with Chief Examiner Stanley W. Finch of the Department of Justice (itself formed in 1870). Within a year it was called the Bureau of Investigation.
April 9: Sheriff's Department misconduct-claim payouts have soared, topping $50 million last year
LA Times: In one case, Los Angeles County paid more than $6 million to a woman who had been raped by a sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop.
In another, it took more than $7 million to resolve multiple lawsuits after deputies in West Hollywood mistakenly shot two hostages, killing one and seriously wounding the other.
April 8: Bureau to Investigate Police-Involved Deaths in Nashville
US News: The Metro Nashville Police Department has reached an agreement with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that allows the bureau to investigate deaths involving the use of force by officers.
April 7: North Carolina: The Next State to Require Police Body Cameras?
A new bill would appropriate $10 million during the next two years for matching grants to help law enforcement agencies "buy and maintain" the recording equipment.
April 7: Police department in Portland, Ore., in disarray as scandals mount
LA Times: With yet another police chief under suspicion and on forced leave, Portland, Ore., seems to have taken another step towards becoming a real life "Portlandia," the absurdist TV series.
Just nine months after being appointed to replace a chief who is charged with accidentally shooting a friend during a beer-fueled camping trip, Interim Chief Mike Marshman was put on paid leave March 24 by Mayor Ted Wheeler in connection with an allegedly falsified department attendance log.
April 7: Former Houston police officer sues Taser over injuries suffered in assault
Chronicle: A former Houston police officer severely injured when her Taser failed to stop a combative, mentally ill woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the device's manufacturer.
The suit by former Officer Karen Taylor says Tasers have failed to function properly at least 450 times in the Houston Police Department in the past five years, causing unnecessary injury and sometimes death to officers and suspects.
April 7: Statement of Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the District Court's Entry of Baltimore Consent Decree
US DOJ: "Today, a federal court entered a consent decree that will require the court and a highly-paid monitor to govern every detail of how the Baltimore Police Department functions for the foreseeable future. This decree was negotiated during a rushed process by the previous administration and signed only days before they left office. While the Department of Justice continues to fully support police reform in Baltimore, I have grave concerns that some provisions of this decree will reduce the lawful powers of the police department and result in a less safe city.
April 6: Federal monitor finds Seattle police use-of-force reforms are working
Chicago Tribune: SEATTLE Five years after the U.S. Justice Department found Seattle police officers too often resorted to excessive force, the federal monitor overseeing court-ordered reforms issued a glowing report Thursday concluding the department has carried out a dramatic turnaround.
Crediting Mayor Ed Murray, Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole and, most of all, the Seattle Police Department's men and women, the monitor, Merrick Bobb, found overall use of force is down and, when officers do use it, it is largely handled in a reasonable way consistent with department policies.
April 6: Dallas law enforcement in crisis, and failing pension, low pay to blame, former chiefs warn
Dallas News: Former Dallas police chiefs warn in a letter that the police department is in crisis because of the failing police and fire pension system.
The letter, released Wednesday, calls out city leaders for "pointing fingers" instead of focusing on "consequences of ill-conceived proposed solutions."
The pension is expected to reach insolvency within the next decade.
April 5: National Consensus Policy on Use of Force: How 11 Leading Law Enforcement Leadership and Labor Organizations Arrived at One Policy
Police Chief: Law enforcement is currently under intense scrutiny, and no discussion of policing practices is complete without addressing use of force. The recent narrative surrounding law enforcement use of force is fueled by several factors, including negative portrayals by the media and the challenges posed by social media platforms. In today's digital age, citizens have the ability to record officers in the performance of their duties and post videos to a number of social media websites where the videos can go "viral" within a matter of minutes. This instant access to recordings of real-world interactions between law enforcement and the community members they serve has enabled a larger segment of the population to engage in the discussions surrounding use of force.
IA Online: Daimler's audit function adds significant value to engagements by incorporating a unique methodology focused on innovation. The audit team introduced its Signature Audit methodology by first selecting an engagement that offered a suitable environment to pilot the concept. Daimler was poised to launch new technologies and services considered strategically important to the organization and monitored by top management. To identify unknown risks and potential workarounds to processes being implemented, an unconventional audit approach was required. The audit team needed to look beyond existing
client policies and procedures to capture emerging risks and resolved to deploy audit techniques that are typically used less frequently during traditional processes. Practitioners used a hands-on approach that involved re-performance of controls or simulations such as mystery shopping — where the identity and purpose of the customer is not known by the group being evaluated.
April 5: Evidence-Based Use-of-Force Policy: How Research Could Improve Development and Training
Police Chief: The use of force by U.S. law enforcement officers during encounters with citizens is one of the most important moments in constitutional policing. Many clear examples of when response to resistance (or the use of force) is appropriate and would be widely accepted as an outcome of professional and constitutional policing can be envisioned. However, there are other, less frequent situations that have been deemed more problematic. Unfortunately, the general public has never fully understood how, when, why, and how often law enforcement officers engage in response to resistance. In fact, very little understanding exists of these actions in most cities and towns, let alone in the United States as a whole. However, with the advent of mobile video on every cellphone, citizens are now getting a front-row seat to U.S. policing that is unvarnished, raw, and often viewed without a full understanding of the context surrounding these situations. Therefore, a need exists to ask some basic questions and create new knowledge based on evidence to provide guidance and accountability for law enforcement officers.
April 5: Activists Fear Federal Review of U.S. Police Agreements Could Imperil Reforms
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Trump administration's decision to review federal agreements with troubled police departments nationwide could imperil ongoing reform efforts, particularly in Baltimore and Chicago, civil rights advocates said on Tuesday, even as city officials vowed to continue pursuing improvements.
April 5: Federal Overhauls of Police Departments Bring Mixed Results
US News: New Attorney General Jeff Sessions is signaling that his Justice Department may back out of federal agreements with troubled police departments.
As new Attorney General Jeff Sessions signals his Justice Department may back out of such federal agreements with troubled police departments, a look at some of them shows they can be popular but also carry mixed results.
"There's no question that some of these consent decrees are arduous and complicated, but they will (force cities to) provide the kind of resources the department very often needs," said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, whose study of consent decrees found them costly but useful in helping departments deal with broad issues.
April 5: Attorney General Jeff Sessions Updates United States Attorneys and DOJ Component Heads on the Department's Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety
US DOJ: As part of the update, the Attorney General announced the creation of Task Force subcommittees that will focus on a variety of issues including developing violent crime reduction strategies, supporting prevention and re-entry efforts, updating charging and sentencing policies, reviewing asset forfeiture guidance, reducing illegal immigration and human trafficking, combatting hate crimes, and evaluating marijuana enforcement policy.
April 5: Judge denies DOJ request for pause in Baltimore consent decree; hearing to proceed as scheduled Thursday
Baltimore Sun: Baltimore residents will have an opportunity in court Thursday to voice their thoughts on the proposed consent decree between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice after a judge rejected the Trump administration's last-minute attempt this week to delay the hearing.
U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar said in an order Wednesday that granting the Justice Department's request for a 90-day pause in the case "at the eleventh hour would be to unduly burden and inconvenience the Court, the other parties, and, most importantly, the public."
April 5: Lieutenants speak out to correct audit inaccuracies
FORT MYERS, Fla. — An independent audit recently showed what was lacking in the Fort Myers Police Department. But some are questioning about whether what investigators found is accurate.
In an internal memo sent to Police Chief Derrick Diggs last month, six lieutenants pick apart the Freeh Audit to highlight what they believe are inaccuracies.
In the memo, the lieutenants list 12 things they say are not accurate. Many of the issues focused on training, and discipline.
The audit says officer discipline was often inconsistent. One example is the firing of an officer. The audit says the officer was fired for lying about his location, but the lieutenants say he was fired for other reasons.
April 5: Taser rebrands as Axon and offers free body cameras to any police department
Tech Crunch: Taser is now Axon. The brand has been a household word for years, but the company felt it was time to leave that identity behind and double down on the body camera and digital evidence management side of its business. As part of that move, it's offering free body cameras and software to any police department that asks. Yes, free as in beer, and yes, any as in any.
April 3: Fort Myers city manager seeks Justice Department probe of FMPD
Wink News: FORT MYERS, Fla. City manager Saaed Kazemi sent a letter to the Department of Justice on Monday seeking a civil rights investigation into the Fort Myers Police Department.
Kazemi informed City Council of the request during today's meeting. It comes weeks after the release of an audit conducted by a private firm that excoriated the police department for ineffective leadership, a lack of integrity and other issues.
April 3: DOJ seeks 90-day continuance to 'review, assess' consent decree
WBALTV: BALTIMORE — The Justice Department late Monday asked a federal judge for more time to "review and assess" a proposed agreement to overhaul the Baltimore Police Department, saying it needed to determine how it might conflict with the crime-fighting agenda of new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
April 3: Californians Overwhelmingly Support Body Cameras for Law Enforcement, Study Says
Gov Tech: According to a new survey, 81 percent of residents said that both citizens and law enforcement officials would benefit from the use of body-worn cameras.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

We use the 2008 short selling regulations to conduct the first test of Diamond and Verrecchia's (1987) counterintuitive prediction that short sale constraints can actually increase the information content of short sales. The emergency order made it difficult and costly for short sellers without strong broker relationships to borrow shares; borrowing fees increased by over 500%. Similarly, the short selling ban prohibited short selling in the spot market, but sophisticated traders could still short synthetically via the options market. As such, there is good reason to expect that both regulations increased the proportion of informed short sellers. Consistent with this notion, we find that the price reaction to announcements of unexpectedly high levels of short interest became more negative when the regulations were in effect. We also find that the price impact of short sales increased during the ban for affected stocks. Our results confirm the counterintuitive and previously untested prediction that short selling restrictions may actually increase the information content of short selling.

Auckland police were distressed to receive complaints over drivers slowing down due to increased police presence on the Southern Motorway, just days before a policy of greater police visibility on the roads comes into force.
Following a number of traffic incidents on Auckland's Southern Motorway this evening police deployed patrol cars with flashing lights and warning signs asking drivers to slow down for safety reasons.
While most drivers complied, police were somewhat concerned to receive a number phone calls from some drivers who complained that others were slowing down in response to the signs.
From December 1 to January 31 police will reduce their tolerance to 4kmph above the official speed limit and trial 28 red cars to increase visibility, as part of a nationwide campaign to reduce the summer road toll.
During that period last year there were 416 serious injuries on New Zealand roads, including 57 deaths.
