  • Anticipating Disasters & Preparing
    By Frank Borelli - Friday May 24, 2013
    It was with sad eyes that most of us viewed the news about the tornado damage in Moore, Oklahoma.  That sadness continues as we watch the updates about recovery efforts and all the challenges faced.  I don’t mean to downplay the human suffering in any way, but every time I see news clips of the public safety workers amidst the rubble I can’t help but identify with some of the operational...

  • 2013 Police Week Experiences
    By Frank Borelli - Wednesday May 15, 2013
    I didn't used to go to Police Week.  There was no excuse.  I live within a comfortable driving distance but am not a "city" person.  My wife never wanted to go; she was sure that once she visited the National Law Enforcement Memorial then fate would conspire to put my name on it.  I'd been an officer for over 20 years before I went the first time... but I haven't missed a year since.  Every...

  • Bombs at the finish line: what’s next?
    By Sara Schreiber - Wednesday May 15, 2013
    T he month of April was precarious to say the least. We as a country are still reeling from the bombing in Boston, the images of chaos and bags filled with runners’ unclaimed belonging at the finish line still fresh in our memories. As of 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 1, a whopping 70 percent of people surveyed in a Washington Post-ABC News poll said they support the death penalty for 19-year-old...

  • Wanted: A four-legged rehab specialist, must love people
    By Sara Schreiber - Tuesday April 16, 2013
    This month’s cover comes with a good story. Shea Wilson, communications administrator for the Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADC) sent us the photo and wrote: “This is Anthony (a former inmate) and Howard, a St. Bernard who was grossly underweight when he arrived in the program, weighing about 60 pounds. Anthony...recently paroled and adopted the last dog he trained at the Ouachita...

  • Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 2
    By Jonathan Kozlowski - Saturday May 4, 2013
    Like I said I planned in a previous entry ( Day 1 ), I tried the 10-7 post-shift relaxing supplement. It's mechanism is much exactly as the others: three sprays under your tongue, hold for a 10 count, swallow, go on with your day. There will not be a time post on this entry, I hope it'll be apparent why. Taste The company's product information gives me the inferrence that they spent a...

  • Live Blog: "The Unit" - It's Not a Movie - Day 1
    By Jonathan Kozlowski - Thursday May 2, 2013
    I'm trying something new here. I'm a freak so I'll admit that I will probably go back and edit - however I will try and keep true. This is my version of a "live blog." Meaning, I'm going to try a product and write about my experiences. Right now it's May 1, roughly 1:30 p.m. (central). I've eaten a worthless lunch around noon, had two cups of coffee this morning - which is low for me - and I'm...
