Archery Ranges
An archery range is where the sport of archery is played. Archery involves shooting with a bow and arrow or crossbow, usually at a far-off target. Ranges are safe environments where people can learn this skill, practice, and train for competitions. Some archery ranges are part of private sports clubs, while others are public. Many feature heated indoor and outside 3-D courses where people can train on their own or take a private or group class. Archery can be a fun hobby for many. Others take it more seriously and use it as a method for hunting. Many archery ranges feature clubs and regular tournaments, along with neighboring club affiliations. Target and 3D animal shoots also take place pretty regularly, as do cross bow competitions. Some even feature a campground, where visitors are welcome to camp out for the weekend. Similar to the more primitive bow and arrow is the crossbow. Crossbows are weapons involving a bow mounted on a stock that shoots projectiles. In medieval times, the name “crossbow” was taken from the word “ballista,” a torsion engine that looked very much like a crossbow. There are many different types of crossbows, including recurve, pistol, compound, and repeating. There are multiple parts to a bow and arrow system, such as quivers, releases, shafts, jigs, and nocks. Arrows and systems are usually made of aluminum and are very durable. Participants need to wear special safety gear, which they can learn all about during a bow and arrow class. Supply items, equipment, and accessories, such as treestands, can be found at a hunting supplies store or archery specialty shop. Some archery ranges post their happenings at local recreation departments. Some also have their own websites outlining services, rates, events, and club information.

If you enjoy bow hunting game like deer, pigs, caribou, and sheep, then you might want to spend some time practicing at archery ranges that have targets to help you hone your skills. Some archery ranges have equipment and products that you can buy, such as longbows, arrows, quivers, cases strings, tabs, gloves, arm guards, blinds, glue, and outdoor gear like tree stands. Some outfitters also have re-curve services. Re-curve services will help ensure that your longbow is in top condition and accurate. When you contact the archery range, ask them how long they have been in business. Those with several years of experience should have access to the targets, arrows, equipment, and services that you need. Ask them if you need to purchase a bow hunting archery membership or if you can pay to use the archery range when ever you feel like using it. Ask them if their archery ranges are in a building or outside. There are advantages to both. Those in a building can be used regardless of weather or time of day. Primitives might prefer outside ranges, though, because they more accurately represent the environment that the sports take place in. Ask them if they are affiliated with any other companies or organizations. You might want to choose one that is a member of a sports organization because they will understand what you need to practice your bow hunting skills. Find out what their hours are and where they are located. You should also get their contact information in case you need to call them in the future.

TransCultural Exchange

Boston, Massachusetts USA
  • by Marisa Jahn, artist, USA
  • by Dr. Allen Nasseh and Farshid Saffari

Since its grassroots inception in 1989, TransCultural Exchange (TCE) has worked directly with hundreds of artists, arts organizations, foundations, galleries, museums and cultural centers in 60+ countries to produce over 350 exhibitions. TCE also provides professional development resources, new markets and career opportunities for hundreds of artists and facilitates new partnerships and exchanges between international organizations and educational institutions, leading to increased visibility, cultural understanding, and economic activity.

TCE's chief activity is its Conferences on International Opportunities in the Arts, a major forum for linking artists to their international counterparts as well as over 100 key curators, gallerists, residency directors, and critics. More than a third of the attendees note direct tangible outcomes (funding to travel abroad, acceptance into an international residency and/or the possibility to work or exhibit overseas) as a result of their attendance. As the London Biennale Director David Medella notes, these conferences are “one of the best things in the art world today.”

TransCultural Exchange’s website is a major source of information for artists and those who support them. Featuring links to dedicated portals documenting the organization’s exhibitions, exchanges and biennale conferences and to other organizations, funders, exhibition calls, and employment opportunities.

For Here, There and Everywhere: The Art of Collaboration, TransCultural Exchange asked artists to work with people from different cultures and disciplines to create collaborative works. Included among the dozens of projects are the artist team PalAmeA’s creation of a public kiosk as a site for noncommercial exchange; Marisa Jahn and Conner Dickie’s use of cell phones for dispersing free poetry; Dr. Allen Nasseh and Farshid Saffari collaborated on a project named East Meets West to prepare a series of montages representing Boston Churches and Teheran Mosques.; Benoit Granier’s work with a therapist to create a new musical notation system; and TransCultural Exchange’s own Curated Conversation for the 2010 London Biennale. The aim with Here, There and Everywhere was to expand upon what TransCultural Exchange prides itself on doing – using the arts to bring people together.

As TransCultural Exchange’s Director Mary Sherman noted at the opening of TransCultural Exchange’s 2009 Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts1, “The arts most likely won’t pinpoint the cure for cancer, but that does not negate their power. Marvelous things can come from where you least suspect. Working in tandem, much can be accomplished; and the arts can help. Like the face of a beloved, the arts can stimulate our curiosity. They can give our lives meaning in ways that we may never be able to explain. Even across vast time zones and geographic distances, the arts give us the ability to touch another person and be touched—and with that, many possibilities can arise.”

This over two decades history of service has earned TransCultural Exchange awards from institutions such as the International Art Critics Association and support from United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Asian Cultural Council, Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, Boston Foundation, Swedish Embassy, numerous consulates and the Netherland-American Foundation, among others.

MCSAR Gets New Rescue Boat

PARRISH – Manatee County Search and Rescue debuts a new marine unit.

It’s a 17-foot Patten inflatable dive rescue boat and it was paid for by volunteers.

The new addition allows them to be more versatile and available to assist in a wider variety of emergencies.

The function of the county’s search and rescue is to be an asset to agencies that need more specialized personnel in the event of a disaster.

Manatee County Search and Rescue Director of Communications Meghan Wolf says the custom boat is designed for emergency situations.

Wolf says, “There’s actually a flap that opens up here at the front of the boat that’s away from the motor so that way our diver can actually go through here and when we actually pull up over somebody, the flap opens up and we can actually pull them in rather than having to hoist them over the side.”

Wolf says they have been doing in-house training and they’re ready to assist on the water.

Are you interested in learning more about Manatee County Search / Rescue? Would you like to learn more about how you can help? Sign up for our monthly newsletter. (yes, it is truly once a month. We don't have time to send multiple emails a day to everyone and bombard you with nonsense!)

Introducing "Project Lifesaver"!
4/6/2014  1917hrs
Project Lifesaver is an innovative and rapidly growing program aiding the victims and families suffering Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders such as Down's Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology employing wristband transmitters to locate wandering and lost adults and children. Over 5,000,000 people in the USA have Alzheimer's. That number will triple by 2050. Well over 50% of these people wander and become lost. A lost person with Alzheimer's or other dementia represents a critical emergency as nearly half of them will die and many can become injured or fall victim to predators if they are not located within 24 hours. The number of people, families and communities experiencing this risk will grow dramatically in this decade. If you are not yet touched in some way by Alzheimer's or related disease, chances are you will be within the next several years. You will find it among neighbors, your friends, co-workers and their families, and perhaps within your own family.

Did you know that last year 58,200 children were the victims of non-family abductions?

History of Tennessee

Present day Tennessee was first inhabited by Paleo-Indians around 12, 000 years ago followed by the people from the Archaic culture, the Woodland culture, and the Mississippian culture. The first expedition into the region was undertaken by the Spanish explorer,
Hernando de Soto, in the year 1540. This was followed by the expedition of Tristan de Luna in 1559 and Juan Pardo in 1567. As the population of the Europeans increased and as they began to scatter around the area, the Indians were forced to relocate to the west and south.

British’s first settlement was established in 1756 by people from South Carolina, near what is today known as Vonore. Soon English fur traders and long hunters arrived. Following the French and Indian Wars in the year 1763, Great Britain acquired the area. The Virginians along with the North Carolinians established the first permanent settlement around the year 1769 at Watauga River Valley on E Tennessee. They together formed the Watauga Association, their first attempt at forming a government in Tennessee.

During the American Revolution, John Sevier, a Tennessean played a significant role. Three counties belonging to the Washington District broke away from North Carolina in the year 1784 and created the State of Franklin under Sevier. When efforts to achieve admission into the Union went in vain, the counties became part of North Carolina in the year 1789. In the year 1790, North Carolina surrendered the region to the federal government that created the Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio or what is also commonly known as Southwest Territory. William Blount was made the governor. On 1 June 1796, Tennessee was granted into the Union as a slave state and Knoxville was made its capital. It became the first state to be created from a territory, which was under the authority of the United States Federal Government. In the Civil War, Tennessee played a vital role and was the deadliest battleground. Though Tennessee was part of the Confederacy during the period of the Civil War, yet there prevailed pro-Union sentiment in the state. Today, Tennessee has boomed into an industrial zone where large mass of people live in urban areas. The state has made a name for itself in the production of marble, pyrite, ball clay or zinc along with the production of textiles, electrical machinery, leather goods, chemicals, furniture, etc. The state leads in the production of tobacco and soybean.

Tennessee is surrounded by eight states. To the east, there is North Carolina, Missouri and Arkansas to the west, Kentucky and Virginia to the north, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi to the south. Tennessee ranks as the 36th largest of all the 50 states in U.S. The state covers a total area of 42,143 square miles. The major rivers of the state are Tennessee River, Mississippi River, Cumberland River while the major lakes are the Kentucky Lake, Norris Lake, Cherokee Lake, etc.

The state’s highest point is Clingman’s Dome located at an altitude of 6,643 feet above the sea level. The lowest point is the Mississippi River, which stands at 178 feet. Tennessee is divided into six major land regions and they comprise of the Blue Ridge, Highland Rim, Gulf Coastal Plain, Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region, Nashville Basin, and Appalachian Plateau.

The average monthly temperature varies from 91.5 degree Fahrenheit to 27.8 degree Fahrenheit. On 29 July and 9 August 1930 at Perryville the state experienced the highest recorded temperature as it soared to 113 degree Fahrenheit. The lowest temperature was recorded at Mountain City on 30 December 1917, when it went down to –32 degree Fahrenheit.

Tennessee’s attractions are spread along the length and breadth of the state. It has a wealth of natural wonders. It is a perfect stage for all those travelers who love natural beauty, music, history, sports, outdoor activities, and recreation. Tennessee is considered the most diverse of all the states as it embodies innumerable features for the ardent travelers. Some of the top places to visit during the stay in Tennessee are :

101 in 1001 Update

7. Join the Nashville Striders for a group run at least once a year - I've already attended one of the spring training runs, but I'll definitely attend a few more between now and April.

13. Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame - The museum had a free community day a few weeks ago, so I went with a few friends.  We checked out the exhibits and heard a free concert by Street Corner Symphony.  It was a nice afternoon, and I'm glad I finally got to go inside the museum.

36. Learn how to make 5 new dinner recipes - This month I followed a recipe I got from my cousin for poppy seed chicken.  Yum.  Someone also taught me how to make french toast this month... it was way easier than I had thought it would be.

48. Mail a card/letter to someone four times a year (doesn't have to be the same person) - I sent a thank you card to the sweet couple who let me into their home during the crazy snow we had a few weeks go.  A few kind words and a Starbucks card felt like the least I could do to thank them for being so kind to me.

95. Watch one new movie per month, minimum - Oh, I definitely watched a few this month. Solitary Man (it was ok, but I was a little distracted), Paranormal Activity 2 (it's true that it was just as good as the first... because it was pretty much the exact same movie as the first), Cop Out (Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan - funnier than expected), and Death Race (gory, but had some good action).

96. Read one book per month, minimum - I am almost done with Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep a Secret?  It's a short month, so I'm cutting myself some slack for not being done yet.

1 comment:

Laura said...

I really really love the idea of mailing someone a card - I never do that. I could also do with watching more movies, which I never seem to do. Now that I'm traveling internationally a lot, though, I end up watching them on the flight home, which is good. As for books, I'm pretty good with that one - it was one of my New Year's resolutions to read 100 books this year.

Hope you enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret! I liked that one.

Spur Your Women Deeper

“Over the years, I’ve helped lead hundreds of women through multiple Bible studies by Margaret Feinberg. I love choosing Margaret’s studies because I know we aren’t getting fluff. Instead, we receive deep Bible teaching, compelling discussion questions, engaging interactive activities, and accessible homework that spurs women deeper in their relationship with Christ—no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. We just finished 'Fight Back With Joy' and the feedback has been phenomenal. Over and over I’ve heard stories of how women resonated with, were encouraged by and grew because of this study.

Long Term Somali Pirate Hostages Freed

Sunday, December 23, 2012
Iceberg 1: Photo credit EU NAVFOR

Twenty-two hostages seized by pirates nearly three years ago have been freed from the Panama-flagged 'MV Iceberg One'.

Authorities in Somalia's semi-autonomous region of Puntland informed the BBC that their maritime force began the operation to free the hostages - and their ship - nearly two weeks ago. The hostages are reportedly showing signs of having suffered physical torture and illness,

The Panama-flagged MV Iceberg One was seized off the Yemeni coast in 2009, and was being held near Gara'ad village on the coast in Mudug region when Puntland's maritime troops surrounded it on 10 December.

In their statement, the Puntland authorities said their troops fought the pirates for two weeks before safely rescuing all 22 hostages on board the ship.

Wreck removal plan presented for Costa Concordia

MAY 18, 2012—With Costa Concordia Emergency Commissioner Franco Gabrielli in attendance, Costa Crociere S.p.A. and Italo-American consortium Titan-Micoperi, the winner of the tender tasked with performing the work, presented their plan to remove the wreck of Costa Concordia from the coast of Giglio Island.

Following a conference convened by the commissioner May 15, during which the relevant authorities provided the necessary permits, the work will begin in a few days and is expected to last about 12 months.

Titan Salvage , Fort Lauderdale, FL, part of the Crowley Group, is an American-owned specialist marine salvage and wreck removal company and is a world leader in its field. Micoperi is a well-known Italian marine contractor with a long history as a specialist in underwater construction and engineering.

The plan to refloat the hull in one piece gives top priority to minimizing environmental impact, protecting Giglio’s economy and tourism industry, and maximizing safety.

Environmental protection will have top priority throughout the monumental salvage operation, the likes of which has not been attempted before anywhere in the world. Once removal is complete, the sea bottom will be cleaned and marine flora replanted.

The plan also includes measures to safeguard Isola del Giglio’s tourism industry and wider economy. Salvage workers’ presence will not have a significant impact on the availability of hotel accommodations for the island’s summer season. The operating base will be located on the mainland near Piombino, where equipment and materials will be stored, avoiding impact on the island’s port activities.

Operations will be divided into four basic stages:

  • After stabilizing the ship, a subsea platform will be built and caissons that can be filled with water will be fixed to the side of the ship that is out of the water
  • Two cranes fixed to the platform will pull the ship upright, helped by the caissons, which will be filled with water
  • When the ship is upright, caissons will also be fixed to the other side of the hull
  • The caissons on both sides will then be emptied, after treating and purifying the water to protect the marine environment, and filled with air.

Once floated, the wreck will be towed to an Italian port and dealt with in accordance with the requirements of Italian authorities.

The plan was selected by an evaluation team with specialist representatives from Costa Crociere, Carnival Corporation & plc, London Offshore Consultants and Standard P&I Club, with the collaboration of RINA and Fincantieri, because it best fulfills the main objectives of the operation — removal of the wreck in one piece, minimal risk, minimal environmental impact, protection of Giglio’s economy and tourism industry, and maximum safety.

“From the early stages of the accident, Costa Crociere has fully committed its resources, professional expertise and organization to minimizing the impact of the shipwreck on the environment and on Isola del Giglio in particular,” said Gianni Onorato, Costa Crociere S.p.A. president. “As was the case with the fuel-removal operation, we have always worked to find the best possible and safest solution to protect the island, its marine environment and its tourism industry. We are now launching a salvage operation with characteristics and technical complexities that have never been faced before. There will inevitably be some unknowns in a project of this scope, but we are sure we have made the right decision and will continue to work to our best ability and on schedule.”

“We are very pleased to have been chosen to perform this incredible operation to remove the wreck of Costa Concordia,” said Richard Habib, managing director of Titan Salvage. “Our quality engineering and the experience we have gained in this area allowed us to present a project that met expectations. From now on we will work with the aim of preserving the environment and the natural habitat.”

“We were confident from the outset that the professionalism of our company and our proven experience in underwater rescue and recovery operations could be of service to this salvage operation,” said Silvio Bertolotti, general manager of Micoperi. “Being chosen is also a powerful demonstration of the quality and capability of Italian companies to manage such delicate and unprecedented projects.”

Tess Vigeland: To rent or to buy? That is the question that befuddles many a potential homeowner these days. Mortgage interest rates are at historic lows and prices are way down from their peak, so at some point it becomes logical to own, right?

Well, there are lots of factors at play in deciding to buy a house, and what you're paying in rent is one of those factors. The real estate data firm Reis reported today that the national apartment vacancy rate is at its lowest level in 10 years, and that means rents are rising.

So, could this be a tipping point? Our Washington bureau chief John Dimsdale takes a look.

John Dimsdale: It wasn’t that long ago landlords had to offer incentives like cable TV or first-month’s rent free. Now, apartment vacancy rates in many cities are below 4 percent and renters are having to pay up.

Rich Anderson: In many markets, the cost to rent is greater than the cost to own.

Rich Anderson with BMO Capital Markets says normally, high rents would be driving people to buy homes. But mortgage lenders require pristine credit scores and higher downpayments, making renters reluctant to look for alternatives.

Rich Anderson: At the end of the day, there is an excessive amount of credit that is required to buy a house. I think once that eases, you’ll see some pent up appetite for people to go and buy a home. After all, the American dream is not to rent an apartment, right?

He says higher rents, along with record-low mortgage interest rates, will help spark a turnaround in homebuying this year.

But economist Michelle Meyer at Bank of America Merrill Lynch is skeptical. She says no matter how high the rents and how low the interest rates, we’re not at the point where renters turn into buyers.

Michelle Meyer: The fact there’s an expectation that prices will fall further and credit is tight, coupled with the weak economy, could mean that for a period of time rents actually remain expensive to home prices.

I've got a colleague at Marketplace who  has a well-deserved reputation for gathering great tape from the people she interviews. One trick, is that she swears by rolling tape at minute 1. (Jargon translation: Rolling tape means recording. So doing that from minute 1, means that by the time she gets out of the car, she's recording. The car door, the street sounds, and knocking on the door of the person she's about to interview, all that gets recorded.)

Most days I've got a different approach. I prefer meeting my subject, spending some time sniffing them out -- and letting them sniff me out. My rationale is simple: That's what I'd want it if someone were sticking a big microphone in my face.

That said, I really wish I had done it the other way this week in Camden. I was interviewing 62-year-old Jackie Coleman. My tape recorder was off. My microphone wasn't in her face. And Coleman started talking about health insurance and what life used to be like without it. She says back in the late 1960s people in her neighborhood used to call Cooper Hospital 'PF.'

It stood for 'Poor Families.'

And Coleman says the hospital looked it. Coleman remembers being admitted to 'PF' back then and thinking about how ill-equipped and dirty the room felt. She says she actually was able to compare those rooms for 'poor families' with other facilities, because after she checked in, a friend -- who later became her husband of 20 years -- came to visit. He told the nurses they were already married, that she had insurance.

Next thing she knows, nurses are coming up and taking her to a new room on the other side of the hospital. Coleman's new room: It had a TV and a bed you controlled with buttons. And even more than the amenities, the hospital room struck her because it was clean. So much cleaner than the wing she'd just been on.

Now, as a radio reporter, I live for powerful stories and anecdotes like this. I record them and use them in my stories. Not this time. But I do remember clearly what Coleman said when se walked into that new, clean room.

"I've never seen anything like that in my life."

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Shares of Vodafone Group PLC and resource-sector heavyweights led U.K. stocks lower Wednesday, as investors discounted unemployment data that came in better than expected.

Dalai Lama calls for Tibet probe

During a lecture to Japanese lawmakers Tuesday, the Dalai Lama calls on Beijing to investigate the causes behind recent self-immolations by Tibetans protesting Chinese rule.

The FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.31%  tanked 1.1% to 5,722.01, the benchmark’s lowest closing level since early September.

Shares of J Sainsbury PLC SBRY, -0.37%  registered one of London’s biggest losses, down 2.4%. The supermarket chain reported results and issued an updated outlook, while its board approved raising the dividend 6.7%. See: Sainsbury profit rises amid positive outlook

Down 1%, shares of Vodafone VOD, +0.39% VOD, -0.35%   contributed to the selling pressure as Citigroup cut its price target on the wireless-telecom carrier to £1.9 from £2.1, citing slower growth.

On the data front, the Office for National Statistics said the U.K. unemployment rate from July to September was 7.8%, better than expectations of a 7.9% reading.

Meanwhile, the Bank of England said in its quarterly inflation report that growth was likely to fall back sharply in the fourth quarter and that the economy could even shrink a little in the period, while sounding an optimistic note on the inflation outlook.

“The immediate economic outlook remains a challenging one. Growth is likely to remain sluggish and inflation above target. The road to recovery will be long and winding,” said Mervyn King, governor of the central bank, in the opening remarks.

The Bank of England further highlighted that inflation is likely to decline in the second half of 2013, with the risks to inflation broadly balanced around the 2% target.

Vodafone shares are among biggest decliners in London on Wednesday.

Mining shares taking part in the London decline included Kazakhmys PLC KAZ, +0.16% down 3.2%, as well as BHP Billiton PLC BLT, +3.15% BHP, -0.80% BHP, -0.71%  and Rio Tinto PLC RIO, +3.29% RIO, -0.88% RIO, -0.57%  both down 2.1%.

In the energy sector, shares of Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, +1.26% RDS.B, +0.17%  gave up 1.6%, after they went ex-dividend, meaning new investors would miss out on the latest payout.

Also lower, shares of BP PLC BP., +0.66% BP, -0.18%  tripped 0.7%, while BG Group PLC UK:BG  fell 2.7%. BP., +0.66%

Outside the main index in London, shares of Britvic PLC BVIC, -0.61%  rose 5.1%, as the soft-drinks firm and peer company A.G. Barr PLC said they agreed on an all-share merger. See: Britvic, AG Barr to enter into all-share merger.

Shares of ICAP PLC IAP, -0.27%  sank 9.2%, after the interdealer broker reported a 26% drop in pretax profit for the six months to Sept. 30. It’s “been one of the toughest periods in my 36-year career in the wholesale financial markets,” said Chief Executive Michael Spencer in ICAP’s earnings release.

Seizure of Contraband and Unauthorized Items at Cowansville Institution

COWANSVILLE, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2014) - Correctional Service Canada

On January 24, 2014, at about 10:30 a.m., correctional officers at Cowansville Institution, a medium security federal institution, intercepted a visitor who was attempting to bring contraband and unauthorized items into the institution.

This seizure is the result of the efforts of correctional officers. The contraband seized includes rolling paper, 300 grams of tobacco, 124 cigarettes, 13 tablets of codeine and 10 tablets of morphine. The total institutional value of this seizure is estimated at $6,570.

The Sureté du Québec has been notified and the institution is investigating.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions. These tools include ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors.

CSC has set up a telephone tip line for all federal institutions so that it may receive additional information about activities relating to security at CSC institutions. These activities may be related to drug use or trafficking that may threaten the safety and security of visitors, inmates and staff members working at CSC institutions.

The toll-free number, 1-866-889-6039, helps ensure that the information shared is protected and that callers remain anonymous.

CSC is heightening measures to prevent contraband from entering its institutions in order to help ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband into correctional institutions.

Marshall professors publish journal article focusing on the NRA’s ‘National School Shield’ proposal

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Two faculty members in Marshall University’s Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology have written an article in a national publication examining the National Rifle Association’s “National School Shield” proposal to place armed guards in every U.S. school.

The Marshall professors, Dr. Angela D. Crews and Dr. Gordon A. Crews, along with co-author Dr. Catherine E. Burton of The Citadel, wrote the article titled “The Only Thing That Stops a Guy with a Bad Policy is a Guy with a Good Policy:  An Examination of the NRA’s ‘National School Shield’ Proposal” for the March issue of the American Journal of Criminal Justice.

In the article, the authors looked at the NRA’s proposal for an education and training emergency response program called “The National School Shield,” which advocates the placement of armed security in schools. They studied the proposal’s key elements from a public policy perspective and determined the NRA program would be expensive in terms of both implementation and civil and/or criminal liability, would increase juvenile contact with the criminal justice system, would increase the potential for injuries and deaths from firearms, and would potentially only seem to increase profits for those invested in security industries.

The article concluded that more potentially effective and safe policy alternatives are available.

Earlier this month, Angela Crews and Gordon  Crews were in Washington, D.C., where they met  U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin and discussed with members of his legislative staff current research they are doing on school violence.

They presented the initial results of their school violence research at the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences annual conference last week in Dallas and also participated in the recent Firearms Forum sponsored by the Marshall University Student Government Association.

Politicians Promises & Money

Posted Monday, September 24, 2012, at 1:07 PM

I've heard it said that you're not supposed to talk about religion or politics at a gathering. If you think about it, religion and politics affect just about every aspect of our lives.

Whenever someone calls me or wants to talk to me about my vote or giving a contribution for their candidate, I tell them I make my donations to my state political party.

As far as my vote goes, I do a little research and compare what a candidate in office has done. I listen to others running for office and try to get a feel for what they are all about. I also tell them that to get my vote the candidate has to live up to the two mottos on our state flag.

What they usually reply? Yea, that's what I said.

On The Missouri State Flag you will see our state seal and the shield. This shield is encircled by a belt inscribed with the motto, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall."

I believe that should be the attitude of every citizen is this state and in this country. The bears stand atop a scroll bearing the state motto, "Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto," which means, "Let The Welfare Of The People Be The Supreme Law."

The power and meaning of our state motto escapes most people, because it's written is Latin. I've actually asked state officials if they knew what it meant, and the majority said no. Maybe that's why things seem to be going as the are in both our senate and representative chambers here in Missouri and in Washington, D.C.

I believe that all candidates and politicians should be required to take an oath pledging to fulfill those two mottos. And for those who do end up in Congress, remember we also have a state saying, "I'm From Missouri You'll Have To Show Me."

I'm John Q. What do you think?

You mean the motto for all government entities in the 21st century hasn't been changed to "In God We Trust?"

Does the Blunt family know about this?

Don't think that would work Bohdi because they could get in office, do the bidding of two, or three deep pocket corporations, then take a consultant job with all of them at once upon leaving office. Yes we could make rules against such a scenario, but they would then find another way to twist it.

The real answer is an informed public, and honest elections that are publically financed.

Bondi I understand you comments and think they may be the result of frustration with the way our government works. H.L. Menken said,"every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under." He also believed that the urge to save humanity by those seeking higher office was almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

At this time I still don't believe that all government is against liberty as he did but everything that the government does costs something. That something has to be paid for by you the taxpayer. Laws regulate and every law enacted regulates the people.

"All that is necessary for truimph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke

How you doing OR? Haven't heard from me in a while.

-- Posted by John Q. on Tue, Sep 25, 2012, at 12:51 PM

You are long overdue JQ. :) I always enjoy your commentary. BTW I am a big fan of Mencken myself. It is hard for a geezer like me to not appreciate him. It seems to me that old geezers like me who have long observed the circus that is life, and grown increasingly acerbic due to that circus, also become more appreciative of H. L. Mencken. However I think some of us are more sympathetic to the clowns, and barkers than was Mencken. I'm not sure he ever recognized that somebody has to play those roles. The public demands it, and would fabricate them if necessary. ;)

-- Posted by Oklahoma Reader on Tue, Sep 25, 2012, at 6:11 PM

BohdiLi, I completely agree with your last comment but it's going to take more that luck.

-- Posted by John Q. on Thu, Sep 27, 2012, at 1:37 AM

NanaDot, things have been different to say the least. I've been working is SE Missouri for over seventeen months and all I can say is that I sure miss being in Marshall. Or to put it another way, a bad day is Marshall is better than a good day here. Sometimes you don't always realize what you have until change comes into you life.

I don't know if it's the prisons in the county and the resulting crime associated with it, the drugs or the murders that go on here that has a lot of people uptight. My place has been burglarized five times in the time that I've been here. The only time the sheriff's department came by was to take custody of the two gentlemen that I apprehended in the building. I checked the statistics on active meth lab seizures by county and found out that compared to Saline County the ration here is 96 to 1. Now that's what I call different. Maybe my next post will be about drugs I know I'm going to do one on the Second Amendment. I know you've never been accused of it but, be good.

We don't have to live with hurt

Posted Friday, September 28, 2012, at 7:47 AM

As I walk through my everyday life, like most of you, I come face-to-face with folks who seem, from all outward appearance, to be OK. I fear that secretly, far too many are just barely making it through life because of deep-seated hurt.

Hurt seems to have a mind of its own. It digs and tears into our lives from all quarters. It may have entered through an unsuccessful relationship, through an unhealthy upbringing and home life, an unfaithful spouse, or simply an unkind word spoken at the wrong time.

Feeling pain is not a new thing. I believe it started way back in the Garden. The serpent made his full frontal attack not on the physical part of man, but on the emotional side. Hurt initially came into mankind through our feelings.

Not that emotions are bad. They are part of who we are -- part of who we were created to be. Positive emotions can uplift us and make us healthy. Negative emotions, on the other hand -- such as hurt -- serve to get us off track; to make us unhealthy in our lives and relationships and out walk with God.

I believe that hurt has a voice. It talks to us, and if we are already emotionally wounded or scarred, we tend to listen. That increases the hurt and makes the situation worse. Why? Because our emotions cannot be trusted. And -- in my opinion -- all of the self-help techniques and mantras espoused by modern psychology tends not to help the one who is hurt while hurting others in the process.

Eventually, too many times, hurt people hurt others to try to feel better, or they pretend the hurt doesn't exist, or they form relationships built on hurt, and their hearts become hardened against those who love them and might be able to help.

But we cannot afford to live our lives with pain and hurt as the point of reference. we must somehow rise above hurt and unlock the chains of our hearts and free the healthy person God intends for us to be. The key to those chains is the Word of God.

Be at peace. You are loved.

Rev. have you noticed that you, and I more often than not, share the same perspectives, and draw similar conclusions. Yours are framed in a Christian context, mine in a secular one.

Maybe it's time we each admit that it is all something bigger than either of us can fathom with our finite minds. :)

As my life has progressed I have learned that the best balm for hurt is the giving of love. For me, it has never failed to make me immediately feel better.

Stage 1 burn ban called for Snohomish and Pierce counties

December 31, 2012 · Updated 9:41 AM

SEATTLE — The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency sussed a Stage 1 burn ban Dec. 29 for Pierce and Snohomish counties. This ban remains in effect until further notice.

After a few lingering showers today, weather conditions are expected to become cold and dry. Air pollution is expected to build up to levels unhealthy for sensitive groups, especially in communities where wood-burning is common. These cold and stagnant conditions could persist into next week, when a weak system forecast to arrive and disperse pollution.

The purpose of a burn ban is to reduce the amount of pollution that is creating unhealthy air usually due to excessive wood smoke. The Clean Air Agency will continue to closely monitor the situation.

Burn ban enforcement has significantly increased in the Tacoma-Pierce County Smoke Reduction Zone. Wood burning during a ban may result in a fine, with fines in the past reaching $1,000. Increased enforcement and night patrols will increase the likelihood of violators receiving substantial fines this season.

During a Stage 1 burn ban:

It is okay to use natural gas, propane, pellet and EPA-certified wood stoves or inserts during a Stage 1 burn ban.

The Washington State Department of Health recommends that people who are sensitive to air pollution limit time spent outdoors, especially when exercising. Air pollution can trigger asthma attacks, cause difficulty breathing, and make lung and heart problems worse. Air pollution is especially harmful to people with lung and heart problems, people with diabetes, children, and older adults (over age 65).
