  • Charley Rosen, a Cerebral Coach with an Iconoclastic Approach
    Feb. 24, 1989--- ROCKFORD, Ill.--- What a long, strange trip it has been. The coaching history of the Rockford Lightning franchise in the Continental Basketball Association is a spirited bolt from Stormin' Norman to Gentle Zen. When fiery former Chicago Bull Norm Van Lier was vaporized after 12 games as Lightning head coach in December of 1986, their inaugural season was completed with CBA veteran Mauro Panaggio. The Lightning started the 1987-88 campaign behind Charley Rosen, a cerebral coach with an iconoclastic approach. "Basketball is a very spiritual game," Rosen explained in a recent conversation after the CBA All-Star game here. "It's a chance for a group of people to transcend themselves - transcend their own egos and even sometimes transcend the competition. Sometimes you play a game and you don't know who's winning or who's losing. It's like a fulfillment. Everybody knows their role and everybody sublimates their ego to everybody else." If this guy sounds a little more well-rounded than your typical basketball coach, you're right. Rosen, 48, has been a hard core fan of the Grateful Dead since 1973, he owns a monster collection of Dead concert cassettes and once wrote an article about bootleg Dead tapes for Rolling Stone magazine. He also has a Master's degree in Medieval Studies from Hofstra University, where his thesis was "Allegory in the Canon's Yeoman's Prologue and Tale." And that's not some medieval Darryl Dawkins dunk. Rosen is also a successful author. His 1975 book, Have Jump Shot Will Travel, was nominated for a National Book Award, and he has profiled Billy Cunningham, Elvin Hayes and Ralph Sampson for Sport magazine.

    ANALYT ICS ™ TRENDS IN POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY: Everything a Municipality Should Know and Ask Their Police Department In this session Ron Huberman will review a variety of new police accountability models being used around the country, as well as assessments of their effectiveness. Additionally, he will cover what is considered to be the 101’s of accountability that should be in place in every police department. Finally, Ron will provide a few case studies of what went right and what went wrong with recent highly publicized police shootings and other use-of-force incidents – and the aftermaths of those events. As police liability settlements continue to grow year after year, these new accountability systems aren’t just ‘nice-to-haves’, they are ‘must-haves’ for cities to demonstrate systematic approaches for the monitoring and intervention of problematic patterns of police officer conduct.

  • Rahm Emanuel's Rubber Stamp City Council
    Rahm Emanuel’s Rubber Stamp City Council Chicago City Council Report #7 June 8, 2011- November 15, 2014 Authored By: Beyza Buyuker Melissa Mouritsen Dick Simpson University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 9, 2014 By Thanksgiving 2014, more than 250 candidates had filed to run for alderman as had ten mayoral candidates. The city council approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $7.3 billion budget with $62.4 million in tax increases by a vote of 46-4 and the following week approved an ordinance to raise the minimum wage to 13 on hour by 2019. At the same time, three aldermen called upon the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chicago Inspector General, and the city comptroller to investigate potentially illegal campaign contributions to Mayor Emanuel from financial firms that manage city pension funds. As the 2015 elections loom, it is a time of both controversy and strong mayoral control of the city council. Despite signs of occasional controversy and opposition, the city council under Mayor Rahm Emanuel has remained a rubber stamp. Mayor Emanuel has recently lost some support compared to his first two years as the council has had more frequent divided roll call votes. Nonetheless, it continues as a rubber stamp council. In fact, for his entire three and a half years under Mayor Emanuel it has remained more of a rubber stamp than under either Mayors Richard J. or Richard M. Daley. Histograms of voting behavior show that the city council in the last two years under the Mayor Emanuel was more likely to disagree with mayor than during his first two years.
