Cleveland agrees to strict new rules on its police department


By Sari Horwitz


The city of Cleveland has agreed to have its police department overseen by an independent monitor and subject its officers to strict and explicit new rules on the use of force under an agreement with the Justice Department that was announced Tuesday.

[...]

The settlement, set against the growing debate over policing tactics in the United States, comes just days after a judge acquitted a white Cleveland police officer in the fatal shooting of two unarmed African Americans in 2012. The agreement is an outgrowth of a scathing report the Justice Department, issued in December, accusing Cleveland police of illegally using deadly force against citizens.

Singapore’s Postal Service Reinvents Itself for the Digital Age



"SINGAPORE — http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/19/business/international/singpost-reinvents-for-digital-age-of-ecommerce.html?emc=edit_th_20150519&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=45685287&_r=0

When a German lingerie brand wanted to sell bras online in Malaysia, it turned to Singapore’s nearly 200-year-old national postal service.

Singapore Post built a website, developed a marketing strategy and now delivers packages for the company, Triumph International. 


The customer service team even answers questions about sizing. 

 As postage stamps give way to keyboard clicks, SingPost is redefining the role of the letter carrier, by creating a one-stop shop for retailers’ e-commerce needs in Asia.

In South Korea, SingPost is helping to sell Levi’s jeans. In Singapore, it is stocking Toshiba laptops. In Malaysia, it is delivering Adidas sneakers. 



 With traditional mail services in decline, post offices around the world are scrambling to reinvent themselves for the digital age.

“Sitting on that burning platform, we looked around and said, ‘Where could we develop?’” said Wolfgang Baier, the chief executive of SingPost.

georgewelty photography: Memorial Day 2015


George writes, "I believe today marked the 42nd straight years that I shot the Westminster Memorial Day parade. Today was the 148th Memorial Day celebration in Westminster. I have seen about 60 0f the parades.It is said that Westminster has the longest continuous Memorial Day celebration in the United States. I love shooting the parade, even if you see the same groups and people every year as they are honoring those that served their country. Nothing beats seeing the Westminster Municipal Band march down Main Street to start the parade."

Proudly waving American flags, over 40 people walked half a mile from the St. Matthew United Church of Christ to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery Sunday afternoon to honor those killed in service to their country in observance of Memorial Day.

"We honor the people that have given the utmost to our country and kept America free," said Arthur Jenne, a retired Marine Corps officer from Pleasant Valley.

Kevin Dayhoff, who served in the Marine Corps Reserves, was the keynote speaker.

Kasich: Cleveland a 'model' for responding to protests  Kasich, a possible 2016 GOP presidential contender, urged protesters to be peaceful.  http://hill.cm/c1yldNu 

By Mark Hensch - 05/24/15 Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) praised Cleveland officials on Sunday for their response to protests after a police officer was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting of an unarmed black couple.
“What I will say is that I think the people of Cleveland handled this, I mean, they should be so proud of themselves and we should look at Cleveland as a model,” Kasich told host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.”
“But the credit goes to the leadership in Cleveland who have spoken in with one voice saying protest, but no violence is acceptable in Cleveland,” he said.
