To the Yale Community,

The Yale Police arrested Lee Swinton of Winchester Avenue, New Haven, along with two minors, last night just after 9 p.m. following the robbery and assault of an undergraduate, who was walking on Lock Street behind Grove Street cemetery.  The student called the police from a blue phone, and the Yale police responded immediately and were able to apprehend the suspects.  The student was treated and released from the hospital.   

There are over 400 blue phones around campus; this incident serves as a reminder to use them to notify us immediately of a crime or dangerous situation instead of returning to your room or office and waiting to call us.

Whenever possible,  I encourage you to avoid walking alone at night and to use the shuttle, walking escorts or night-time safe rides by calling 203-432-9255.

Sincerely,

Ronnell A. Higgins
Chief of Police

Analytic Dimensions of Progress

Philosophies of progress differ in their form, but all must answer certain fundamental questions to satisfy certain analytic challenges. These problems concern the relationship of progress and history, as well as the constitutive elements of a given idea of progress itself.

  1. How does a particular idea of progress assess (or not) the advancement of history? Without history, there can be no progress, for progress is the advancement from one phase or condition to another. Whether progress is a process or an event, it must be historically contextualized.
  2. In what fashion does progress occur? Progress may be linear and accumulative, or it could be non-linear and abrupt in nature.
  3. Does progress have an end state? Is there an end of history, or does a specific flavor of progress advance infinitely?
  4. What is the nature of change which constitutes a particular idea of progress?
  5. How is this progress spatially organized? How or why may it be so distributed?
  6. What is the mechanism of progress? How can this means be distinguished from its end?

To the Yale Community:

 

I write to let you know that the New Haven Police have notified us of a serial rapist in the Newhallville section of New Haven. While the victims that he has targeted have not been in the vicinity of campus, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to take extra precautions, especially at night. Be aware of your surroundings, and try not to walk alone after dark. Please report any suspicious activity to the Yale Police at 203-432-4400.  As a reminder, you can take the Yale shuttle buses and call for a walking escort or safe ride in the evening by dialing 203-432-9255.

 Sincerely,

 Ronnell A. Higgins

Chief, Yale Police Department

wow, genius insights, WSJ

Apple's New iPad in Production — "Apple Inc. has started production of a new version of its iPad tablet computer, said people familiar with the matter. — The new device will be thinner, lighter and will come with a faster processor, more memory and a more powerful graphics processor, said the people familiar with the matter."

New product introduced by large technology company. Better than last version.

K... : )

(It actually does cite stats, but, just sayin')
