Court Improvement Project
The Court Improvement Project was created as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, Public Law 103-66. OBRA designated a portion of these funds ($5 million in fiscal year 1995 and $10 million in each of FYs 1996 through 1998) for grants to State court systems to conduct assessments of their dependency courts, and to develop and implement a plan for system improvement. The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adoption_and_Safe_Families_Act, Public Law 105-89, reauthorized the CIP through 2001, which Congress funded at $10 million annually. There were no substantive changes made to the CIP in the 1997 reauthorization.
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families Amendments of 2001, Public Law 107-133, reauthorized the Court Improvement Program through FY 2006. The law also expands the scope of the program to: (1) include improvements that the highest courts deem necessary to provide for the safety, well-being, and permanence of children in foster care, as set forth in ASFA; and (2) implement a corrective action plan, as necessary, in response to findings identified in a child and family services review of the State's child welfare system. Public Law 107-133 authorizes a mandatory funding level of $10 million for CIP and new discretionary funding for FYs 2002 through 2006. From any discretionary funding appropriated annually for the Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program, the law authorizes a 3.3 percent set-aside for the CIP. Finally, the Court Improvement Program authority was transferred to a new section 438 of the Social Security Act.

The Black Shadow gang is a Chinese street gang that originated in Chicago's Chinatown in the early 2000s. The group is comprised with American-born Chinese and immigrants from China who banded together to combat and protect their own people from being attacked by Hispanic gang members.
They have developed strong associations with Asian organized crime groups and gang members in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. The gang is composed of young men with affiliations to other Asian gang members in the north side. The gang represent the black rag and the numbers 2/19 but many of the older members do not present themselves at all. The reason for this is a desire to lay low and detract police attention.
