Ivy Leaguers With a P.D.; Highly Educated Officers Fight Crime and Skepticism - The New York Times
N.Y. / Region|Ivy Leaguers With a P.D.; Highly Educated Officers Fight Crime and Skepticism
Ivy Leaguers With a P.D.; Highly Educated Officers Fight Crime and Skepticism
By KEVIN FLYNN JAN. 27, 1999
When Adam Kasanof arrived on the campus of Columbia University, he was a budding Latin scholar, a fan of Catullus, a student of declensions and dactylic hexameter who was there to pursue the life of the mind.
But when he returned to the Ivy League campus as an alumnus seven years later, it was not as a doctor, or a physicist, or a Nobel laureate in literature. He came back as a cop, a police officer from the 26th Precinct, there to help an emotionally disturbed woman perched atop a stone wall who was yelling ''dead white meat'' at anyone who approached.
Lieutenant Kasanof, class of 1981, is the first to admit that this sort of endeavor was not promoted in the catalogue for Columbia, which has little history as a finishing school for New York's Finest.
''One of my college instructors actually said when he found out I was going to the Police Department that I was a saintly madman,'' he said. ''A lot of people who've been to Columbia would not necessarily consider it something they would want to do.''
Lieutenant Kasanof is certainly unusual -- not everyone can score 1410 on the SAT -- but he is not alone in forsaking the status and wealth that prestigious degrees can yield for the modest salary and multiple perils of a career as a New York City police officer.
In the Bronx, there is a plainclothes narcotics officer who went to Harvard. In Queens, there is a sergeant who graduated from Cornell. In Brooklyn, the commander of the 67th Precinct detective squad joined the force after earning a master's degree from New York University. In northern Manhattan, Officer Christopher Schmidt, who graduated from Columbia in 1993 with a 3.4 grade point average, works the night shift riding in a radio car.
These officers with elite degrees can find themselves astride two worlds -- their police careers at odds with the conventions of a first-class college, and their educational pedigrees often viewed as eccentric in the station house.
''Some people think you are nuts,'' said Sgt. Andrew Hatki, a 1989 Cornell graduate who joined the force in 1992. ''They don't understand. They say, 'With that kind of education?' They think you are wasting it. But I don't feel that way. I feel like I'm doing what I want to do.''
The Police Department does not record where all of its officers attended college, but officials estimate that a few dozen have joined the force after studying at elite universities. Several of these officers acknowledged in interviews that their choice of police work, at first glance, might seem odd, but they said they were attracted by the same sort of incentives that lure other recruits: adventure, hefty pensions, lofty ideals.
''Not to sound corny,'' said Officer Schmidt, ''but I always liked helping people and this is a real helping people job.''
David Durk appealed to the social conscience of the well-educated three decades ago when he showed up on Ivy League campuses, a whistleblowing New York police lieutenant in the midst of unearthing a major corruption scandal. He told students that if they really wanted change, they should drop the ''Pig'' chants and take the police test. Many did. But Mr. Durk, an Amherst College graduate, said the department never pushed to enroll them.
''They told me I was a starry-eyed idealist,'' he said. ''Later on they acknowledged they were not going to let these people in because they were going to be troublemakers.''
Today, the department seems more in touch with its academic side. Since 1995, recruits have been required to have two years of college or two years of military service. Candidates for captain must have a four-year degree. Although no one is about to confuse the department with Cambridge, some 7,350 officers, about one-fifth of the force, now hold college degrees. Another 535 have advanced degrees, like a doctorate or a law degree.
But very few were educated in the Ivy League, where the career orientation is decidedly white-collar and the political ethos can be considerably left of center. Indeed, one of the darkest moments in Columbia history is the bloody day in 1968 when administrators called in the police to deal with a student rebellion.
Lieutenant Kasanof, who returned to Columbia to get his law degree in 1988, said that while his friends supported his interest in a law enforcement career, some fellow undergraduates carried a misconception that ''the people who work in the Police Department are basically all Philistines, brutes, idiots, or that they do something that is essentially undesirable and that is oppress people or act as an occupying army.''
The climate is more balanced today, said Capt. William Gorta, who earned his bachelor's degree at Columbia in 1995, while working as a police officer. ''Maybe they were surprised to find an egghead with a shield,'' he said of his Ivy League classmates, ''but I never heard a snide remark.''
Before he joined the force, Lieut. Vincent DiDonato earned $40,000 a year as an insurance investigator after receiving a master's degree in environmental and forensic safety and science from N.Y.U. But he wanted to play on a bigger field as an investigator, so he entered the Police Academy in 1984 and took a pay cut to $23,000. Now he commands the detective squad in the 67th Precinct, one of the city's busiest, and earns $68,000 a year, far less than he could in the private sector.
''If they offered me a million dollars tomorrow, I know it sounds stupid, but I would turn it down because I'm happy in the job,'' he said.
Although few officers express regret about the decision they made, their families can be another story. Officer Edward Conlon, who pursues drug dealers in the Bronx and writes about police matters for The New Yorker, has said he believes his late father, who was an F.B.I. agent, would have disapproved of his decision to join the police force after graduation from Harvard in 1987.
Lieut. Rosendo Velez, Columbia class of 1984, said his father, a grocer on the Lower East Side, was initially disappointed by his choice. ''I was supposed to be the doctor in the family,'' he said. But a chance encounter with a retired detective, who photographed his wedding and proselytized about the nobility of police work, convinced the young graduate to return, as a police officer, to the mean streets his family had hoped he would escape. He has only questioned the decision once.
''My first night, I had to take my gun out three times,'' he said. ''I said to my wife when I got home, 'What the heck am I doing here?' ''
Rana Sampson's grandmother took her disappointment one step further when her granddaughter, a Barnard College graduate, entered the Police Academy in 1982. Investigators conducting a routine background check, which included confirming a rookie's prior employment, happened to call Elizabeth Sampson, who worked -- as her granddaughter had -- in the family lampshade business on East 56th Street.
''Later I got a call from the background investigator,'' Rana Sampson recalled. ''He says, 'You may have filled this out wrong. You were fired from one of the places you worked.'
''I said, 'I was never fired. Who did you talk to?' He said, 'Elizabeth Sampson.' I said, 'Well, she's my grandmother. She just doesn't want me to be a cop.' ''
When they are done assuaging their families, some highly educated officers have to confront the stereotype that someone acute enough to have attended an Ivy League school would be obtuse patrolling the streets of New York. Though many of these officers are savvy city natives and physically fit, there is sometimes a sentiment in station houses that what an officer needs to know cannot be found in any book.
''If someone seems overly academic, there is an inclination to question whether they can handle themselves in a street condition,'' said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a research group in Washington.
Lieutenant Velez said he occasionally feels that he must ''let people know that before I got promoted I did my share of street work and made my share of arrests.''
Officer Schmidt said he had been teased, but always good-naturedly. ''They used to call me Ivy Cop, Yuppie Cop,'' he said.
Lieutenant Kasanof's first partner said that attitude eroded as officers came to know him. ''At first, they seemed to act like he was a nerd or something,'' said the partner, Charles C. McLeod, who has retired from the force and now lives in North Carolina. ''I was approached a couple of times by guys saying, 'Oh man. You are working with him?' They were looking at him like he was supposed to have that John Wayne exterior. But that's just a put-on. He did his job well. It wore off when they saw what he was all about.''
Indeed, Lieutenant Kasanof, the cerebral Latin major, showed he was much more than a student of an ancient language in 1984, when he shot and killed a mugger who tried to rob him on a Manhattan subway train.
Although they have given up a lot in terms of wealth, status and even safety for their law enforcement careers, the officers said they found that they were often envied by their college classmates as people of action who are not shackled to a desk, as celebrities of a sort, prodded at parties to detail their derring-do.
''Whether you are talking to a kindergarten class or a group of Columbia professors,'' said Captain Gorta, ''they always ask the same two questions. One, 'Do you have a gun?' And two, 'Have you ever shot anyone?' ''

The scope of these volumes includes both strict carbohydrates (e.g., monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides) and carbohydrate-containing substances (e.g., glycoproteins, glycosphingolipids, peptidoglycans). Major areas of content include nomenclature and basic structure, synthesis, analysis, functional properties, biochemistry, carbohydrate-mediated interactions, biological systems and development, and health and disease. On average, coverage in each area is broken down into 15 chapters, each examining a specific subtopic in great depth. There are extensive, up-to-date references throughout. In addition to a complete index for the entire set at the end of volume 4, each volume has its own exhaustive index...Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."

Legendary Tennis Bum: Getting Rich Without Winning - The Washington Post
Legendary Tennis Bum: Getting Rich Without Winning
By Barry Lorge By Barry Lorge June 20, 1978
Most of the modern generations of tennis fans has never heard of Bill Alverez, a legendary Colombian who in many ways epitomized the touring player of the professional era. Endowed with modest shotmaking ability but unlimited entrepreneurial skill and chutzpah, he was the true "tennis bum," wheeling and dealing his ways the court of Europe for fun and profit.
"William was the most amusing character I ever met in tennis," says Australian Barry Phillips-Moore, 41, a little left-hander who played the international circuit for more than two decades, combining tennis with a racket and gut importing-exporting business. He still has his own business but remains on tour as an employe of the Association of Tennis Professionals because he and his wife enjoy the globe-trotting life-style.
"Alvarez was a much better performer than Ilie Nastase. He has the worst game in history, but was the most feated player on the circuit because there was no way you could concentrate against him, and he got every ball back," remembers Phillips-Moore.
"He was about 20 pounds overweight. with bowed legs. In Spain they called hin 'Pato Donald', meaning Donald Duck, because he kind of waddled. But you could not hit him the ball past him. He ran everything down and never got tired. One year he beat Roy Emerson was the Whimbledon champion.
"He also has the worst temper you ever saw. He wouldn't have been allowed to plays nowadays. He would have been fined, banned, run out of the game. He wouldn't have lasted a year.
"He always swore in the language of the country he was playing in. There wasn't one foul word he didn't know and use. He'd hit himself in the head with his racket so hard you'd think he knock himself unconscious. He'd throw his racket on the ground, jump on it, hurl it over the back fence, but somehow he had the knack of never breaking one - and those were before the days of metals rackets.
"He always had the place in an uproar. There were probably 25 clubs in Europe that would never invite him back because he had offended them, and another 50 that wanted him back every year. Bill was never lacking for a tournament, but he wasn't particular about whom he offended. Even in the stuffiest clubs, he never changed.
He was the best businessman I've ever seen," Phillips-Moore continued. "He could sell anything. He would get extra rackets and clothes and sell them to spectators. He knew the import duties in every country, and when there was a market. Tournaments were close enough together in those days that would drive from one to another. Bill would load up a car with all the gear he could get his hands on, and off he'd go."
"Every year Alvarez played Wimbledon, even though he couldn't play a lick on grass courts," recalled Jim McManus, who played internationally for years and now works for ATP. Every years he made more money than the champion, trading in scalped tickets."
Where is Alvarez now?
"He stopped playing the circuit about seven years ago, and he's the head pro at a very nice club in Madrid. He owns a bunch of apartments and has lots of money in the bank - a Swiss bank, I suspect," says Phillips-Moore. "I reckon Bill made as much money out of tennis as anybody did before the game went professional in 1968. Not from playing, but from knowing all the angles."
In the days before open competition between pros and amateurs ushered in the commercial era in tennis, the life of a touring player was completely different from what it is today.
There was no price money in tournaments. Modest appearance fees for the top players were paid under the table. All players got free equipment from manufacturers, but only a handful of the best got cash payments.
There were only two tennis clothing companies to speak of - Fred Ferry and Lacoste, both owned by former great players. Perry was the English star of the 1930s, the last man to win Wimbledon three times in succession. Rene was one of the fabled French "Four Musketeers," who monopolized the Davis Cup from 1927 through 1932. Players got all the free shirts, shorts and sweaters they could wear, but none of the huge endorsement fees common today.
Players competed internationally at the whim of their national tennis associations, which has absolute authourity over them. The U.S. Lawn Tennis Association demonstrated its disciplinary muscle in 1950, for example by suspending a top 10 player - California Earl Cochell - from tournaments for life misbehavior and "extreme discourtesy to the referee" at the U.S. Championships at Forest Hill, N.Y.
Only a few players, such as Alvarez, were exempted. He presuma Federation , having obtained it in exchanged for a 1948 De Soto.
Australian players left home in early March and toured for seven bly owned the Colombian Tennis months, not returning until the start of the Australian grass court circuit in October. The Aussies comprised the foreign entry in most small European tournaments.
In a typical year, if you were going to play in Europe, you'd come across at Easter time," says Phillips-Moore.
"We usually started on the French Riviera: Nice, Menton, Monte Carlo. Then we'd small tournaments in Southern France, Germany or Spain.
"It was a much easier life if you were among the top 35 players in the world, and impossible if you weren't. Then your only recourse was to write good letters to tournament directors. It didn't matter so much how you played tennis as long as you made yourself sound qualified in the letters you write. Some fellows were master con men. They'd include practice wins or make up imaginary good results over players they knew wouldn't be there to dispute them.
"If your ranking was high enough that they knew who you were, you just wrote and said, I'd like to come to "your tournament. How much can you pay me?' They write back and say "We'll give you $300'." You either agreed or tried to make a better deal some place else.
"Hospitality and meals were always supplied. It was quite a simple existence. We played a lot in beautiful resort areas because the local tourist bureaus and hotel sponsored most of the tournaments and put the players up.
But it was a rotten system, because unless you were one of the very best player, French or Wimbledon or U.S. champion, you weren't supposed to win. All the draws were fixed except in the major tournaments. If you seeded, you'd play the local club secretary in the first round and the No. 3 junior in the second. They'd make you sure you didn't meet another good player until at least quarterfinals.
"If you were not a 'name' player and were about to beat one of the "ticket-sellers," the tournament director would literally run out on the court and tell you to lose. If you went ahead and beat him, you would'nt get an invitation back.
"I was ranked No. 5 In Australia, and I wasn't expected to beat an Emerson or a Manuel Santana. In the tournaments that I had my best results, I was not invited back.
"The great holiday area tournaments - Nice, Menton, Baden-Baden, Wiesbaden, Lugano, and so forth - have all disappeared now, because those places can't afford to put up $750,000 in prize money to get a pro tournament.
"Something has been lost, but it's much more pleasant playing now than it was then," concluded Phililps-Moore. "It's much better organized and it's honest. If you win, you get paid. If not you don't. The good players aren't protected any more, so you earn what you deserve."
Bob Carmichael, 38, is only No. 175 now in the computer rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals, but he continues to bounce around the tournament circuit, a once and present tennis bum.
A delightful Australian, Carmichael is nicknamed "Nails" (pronounced "Niles" in the New South Wales inflection) because he used to be a carpenter (a "chippy," as they say Down Under). He is a marvelous raconteur who relates the wealth of anecdote he has accumulated in resonant baritone voice.
Carmichael first left Upper Fertree Gulley, 30 miles east of Melbourne, in 1962, at the age of 21. "I was going away for two years, to have a look at the world for a little bit, and then I was going back home to take up my job again," he says.
"I played tennis nine months a year - mostly little tournaments in Europe. I wasn't a true international in those days because I didn't go to the United States and couldn't afford to go home for the Australian circuit. My first three years, I worked the winters in London. One year I was a clothing salesman at Simpson of Picadilly, another year I was an 'internal messenger' there, and the third year I worked as a carpenter."
"I wasn't making much money, but the life was better than carpenter, so I decided to stay on. Then I got a little better, and started making more money than I could as a carpenter."
"In 1970, I had a big year. I was a quarterfinalist at Buenos Aires. I beat Ken Rosewall in the semifina's at Orange, N.J., and lost in the final to Rod Laver - a very good Laver too, my goodness.
"Suddenly, I was a professional tennis player. I had never planned it. The two mates I came away with had gone back home after two years, but here I am, still hacking around."
Carmichael misses the carefree life that characterized the tennis circuit of the 60s. "The tournaments were more relaxed then. Three or four nights of the week there were functions to go to. People had house parties that all the player went along to," he said.
"Gradually, since open tennis, the tour has become big business. The top 50 players in the world now are there because they practice all day, every day.
"I wonder sometimes if some of them enjoy their lives. I suppose they do enjoy winning tennis matches, and the money that comes as a reward. But I wouldn't mind betting there are a few guys who have been to Paris a half-dozen times amd have never seen the Louvre, or been up the Eiffel Tower. All they see is their hotel, the courts and an occasional English movie.
"The circuit isn't much fun anymore. We don't get together with the tournament organizers as we used to. They're businessmen too - they have sponsors to answer to and need to get people through the gate." Carmichael sighs. "We used to socialize with them, with the local people, have a nice meal and some wine, maybe practice for an hour in the morning and play a match at 2 in the afternoon. But I'm afraid those days are gone forever."
Arthur Ashe first played in Europe in 1963, but never toured the small tournaments on the continent because he was a student at UCLA.
"In those days, if you had a college scholarship, you finished four years," he said. "I came over a week or two before Wimbledon and played one week after. That was all the USLTA allowed. After that, you had to be back for the U.S. grass court circuit.
"The really good players, what they called 'special designated players' from each country, got 100 pounds at Wimbledon, or maybe a little more. Denny Ralston and Chuck McKinley got 100 pounds because they were on the U.S. Davis Cup team.
"The rest of us didn't fight it because we knew they were special," Ashe said. "We all hoped that we could get to be on the Davis Cup team some day, so that we'd get 100 pounds, too."
Nikki Pilic, 38, sat under the spreading chestnut tree near the entrance to the locker room at Stade Roland Garros one afternoon last week. "I first came to the French championships as a junior in 1957. It doesn't seem possible that it could be so many years ago," said the Yugoslav left-hander, runner-up to Ilie Nastase in Europe's premier clay court test in 1973.
"The big tournaments - the French, Wimbledon, Forest Hills, and Davis Cup - had too much pressure to be really enjoyable for the players, even then. But the little tournaments were relaxed, a little bit like family atmosphere," he said.
"If you lost, you didn't throw your racket on the ground. In the dressing room, you weren't thinking all the time about Grand Prix points, computer rankings, how much money you could get, whether you should play with a tin racket because some company would pay you a fortune to endorse it.
"Today the guys are a little bit like computers. There aren't so many great characters left, or great sportsmen like Emerson, who would try his hardest and then go and sing in the shower.
"There are still a few guys who break up the monotony in the locker room - Eddie Dibbs cracking jokes, Pat Cornejo accepting life as it is, Nastase being Nastase. They are a little loose, not uptight all the time.
"But tennis bums?" No, I don't think we have them anymore - not like in the old days."

I think you're off by a couple of lines there, try 4 lines lower. My guess is $video_thumbnails_post_types is not an array.
From the second condition in that if statement, it looks like $video_thumbnails_post_types may be a scalar (string, int, etc). If you're up to it, modify the code to be
if (in_array($post_type, (array) $video_thumbnails_post_types)

it takes to curl_exec about 220 milliseconds
It's probably the network overhead (DNS lookup - connect - transfer - fetching the transferred data). It may not be possible to speed this up any further. Make sure you are caching the results locally, so they don't have to be fetched anew every time. php json vimeo video-thumbnails answered Feb 22 '12 at 12:02

Yes, OpenCV can do the trick. E.g.(C++):
Mat thumbnail=imread("./mythumb.jpg");
VideoCapture capture("./myvideo.avi");
int best_matching_frame=-1;
if (!capture.read(frame)) break;
double score=comparefunction(thumbnail,frame);

videos to show in thumbnails?
1) AsyncTasks in which the image is downloaded first, stored into a cache, and then displayed on the onPostExecute method. The image is obtained from the cache subsequently.
2) Nostra's Universal Image Loader.

Its very simple, instead of string array use object arraylist which has thumbnail/bitmap for the grid item and video url like given below.
Bitmap thumnail;
From database make an arraylist of this video class then use that arraylist in getview.
videoList = new ArrayList<Video>();
// populate videolist

If you have the link to the video, e.g. http://www.veoh.com/watch/abcdef123456 you first need to use the API method veoh.video.findByPermalink to get the video ID:

I recommend invoking ffmpeg on the server once the upload is complete using PHP's exec(). Have a look at these SE answers for some ideas:
Temporarily store the images generated by ffmpeg, echo their paths back to the client using AJAX and have them select the one they wish.

Making a css play button on video thumbnail
I can't explain why but for some reason your change of methods for declaring a child element is causing the problem. Using my first two recommendations of using the unicode entity for the content and using the pseudo element rather than the pseudo class, the CSS should work. However, it did not initially work. When I removed > from the first line the CSS ...

Correlation between the Japanese Aging Male Questionnaire (JAMQ) and Aging Male's Symptom (AMS) scale in Japanese male. - PubMed - NCBI
1 selected item: 24070116
Aging Male. 2014 Mar;17(1):35-41. doi: 10.3109/13685538.2013.801436. Epub 2013 Sep 27.
Correlation between the Japanese Aging Male Questionnaire (JAMQ) and Aging Male's Symptom (AMS) scale in Japanese male.
Horie S1, Hisasue S, Nakao M, Ide H, China T, Nagae M, Saito K, Isotani S, Yamaguchi R, Muto S, Kumamoto Y.
Department of Urology, Juntendo University, School of Medicine , Tokyo , Japan .
To clarify the correlation between the Japanese Aging Male Questionnaire (JAMQ) and the Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scale through the factor analysis in Japanese male.
In 61 male patients who visited the LOH outpatient clinic of Teikyo University Hospital, subjective symptoms featuring LOH were evaluated using the JAMQ and AMS. Factor analysis was performed on each questionnaire to clarify the LOH-related factors. Correlational analysis between the subscale scores representing such factors and the serum hormone profiles was also performed.
Factor analysis of the JAMQ revealed an internal structure consisting of three subgroups: somatic, psychological and sexual factors with good categorization of the indicators to the appropriate subgroup. In contrast, the indicators of the AMS showed incomplete conformity to the subgroups of the JAMQ. Correlational analysis showed that each score on the JAMQ subgroups had the highest coefficient of correlation with the corresponding AMS subgroup (p < 0.001). There was no significant association between total and free serum testosterone levels and the total and subscale scores on either AMS or JAMQ.
The results of factor analysis suggest that the sexual perceptions of Japanese populations might differ from those of Caucasian populations. JAMQ would be useful to separately assess individual aspects of somatic, psychological and sexual symptoms related to LOH among Japanese males.
