As your children grow, they encounter other adults who shape them even more than their parents do. These people are called “teachers” and they do incredible things. But this guy has played that role in tens of thousands of young lives. God bless you, Mr. C!
After 53 years and a countless number of students impacted by his commitment to the fine arts, Mr. Joe Ciccimaro '57 has taught his last lesson at La Salle College High School.
Thanks to Mr. C for his lifelong dedication to his alma mater - the longest tenured faculty member in our rich history - and to the students of the music program at La Salle College High School.
Enjoy a look at his last class - a rendition of Bald Mountain, the last song he conducted at our 2023 Spring Band Concert - and the band playing him out this afternoon with the "Alma Mater" on his last day. #HailLaSalle

I officially want to create an evidence based policing sea chanty group now. And not a virtual one, either. Bonus points if we change the lyrics. “Up she rises” could become “randomises”. Let’s do this. – at Paddington, London

I cannot stop thinking about how close the 1-2-3 in the line of presidential succession, VP-Speaker-Pro tempore came to being physically harmed on Weds. The terrorists had operable bombs, killed an officer and ransacked difficult to access areas of the Capitol. We need answers.

Rather that write about it from an office, James Lind studied scurvy at sea, writing in 1753 "before the subject could be set in clear and proper light, it was necessary to remove a great deal of rubbish.”
Great experiments stem from fieldwork.
Good coverage of my new colleagues. With the added benefit of a wardrobe apparently pulled directly from Life on Mars. Lots of good research in play at the Met. ft.com/content/a62aaa39-09af… – at Paddington, London

Big shout out to @davidco75504827 who has been awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate the development of evidence based policing across police agencies worldwide – US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Israel, India, New Zealand - CONGRATS Dave - well done.
Do we just want to simply punish... or do we want to prevent crime in the first place? This Australian research, which analyses over a million cases, presents a compelling argument for reducing repeat reoffending by prosecuting less. Really interesting.

One of our police officers has sadly died after being shot by a man who was being detained in police custody in early this morning in Croydon.
Officers are in the process of informing members of the officer’s family.

This is just amazingly great. I had the pleasure of working with @SheenaUrwin on the HART model, and she was just so very crucial to making it an operational reality for @DurhamPolice. She deserves great credit for her work, despite the burden having me as her MSt supervisor. – at Pennsylvania, USA

I spent time in Seattle working on police accountability issues last year. Carmen Best is one of the finest chiefs I have worked with. Her resignation is a shame. I got the clear sense then that activists did not care how much further the City was in reform relative to elsewhere.
