Extractions: Other translations welcome! by Mike Dalka My Grandfather was a glider infantryman in WWII, an advisor in Korea, and lost one of his sons, my uncle Gary Edwards, in Vietnam. I worked in his auto repair station during high school and he flew his flag in front daily. One day while I was sweeping the oil dry out of the bays it began to sprinkle rain. He told me to go get the flag and I said "gimme a second." He said, "It is raining, go get the flag NOW." Well I popped off my mouth about how he should cool it, it isn't going to melt or some such typical teenage comment. My grandfather is the toughest man I've ever met. He explained once that he thought basic training was some sort of country club during WWII, because he was used to hard work anyway, and at home he didn't have indoor toilets or hot running water! And when I said whatever it was that I said to him, he turned deep crimson and I thought, "God save me, he's going to kill me for talking back." Instead tears welled up in his eyes and he squeaked out "You don't understand what this family has paid for the right to fly that flag." Then he turned his back on me and went out and got the flag. I just stood there feeling like the smallest person to ever live. Those words cut me so deep. I wish the entire country could have heard them.

Extractions: Results of Olympic Selection Trials FEATURED ARTICLES: Photo Credit: Arnd Bronkhorst Viewpoints on Jumper Course Designing by Hallie McEvoy view: PDF When most jumper riders head off to a horse show, they look at the prize list to see who is managing and judging the show. They also want to know about the quality of the jumps, footing, stabling, and schooling areas. One of the last items most people contemplate is who will be the course designer for their classes. But the jumper course designer is perhaps the biggest piece in the puzzle that either makes or breaks a show for a competitor. The course designer not only has to please the riders, but also the management and the spectators. Jumper course designers are a rare breed in the world of hunter and jumper shows. Currently, there are only about fifty jumper course designers licensed by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), and only a handful accredited by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI), making such experts a scarce commodity for a show manager seeking a designer.

Extractions: Uniform Crime Reports The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics. Today, several annual statistical publications, such as the comprehensive Crime in the United States , are produced from data provided by nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States. Other annual publications, such as Hate Crime Statistics and Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted address specialized facets of crime such as hate crime or the murder and assaults of law enforcement officers respectively. Special studies, reports, and monographs prepared using data mined from the UCR's large database are published each year as well. In addition to these reports, information about the
