February 26, 1929 was the day President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill creating Grand Teton National Park. Native Americans might not see the “Big 80” as such a big deal. Their ancestors are known to have summered in Lupine Meadows 12,000 years ago. And who could blame them? Three great rivers of the American West all have major tributaries with headwaters in the mountains around Jackson Hole. Water meant life in the West then as it does today. The Mountain Men, beginning with John Colter, arrived in the first half of the nineteenth century. Later days brought such trappers and explorers as Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger and David (Davey) Jackson for whom the valley, or hole, was named. The late 1800s saw British men of leisure – gentleman hunters – trekking about the countryside with “an eye for the curious and beautiful,” wrote Jack Turner in his book Teewinot. No better words than curious and beautiful could be applied to the Teton Mountain Range as its glorious protrusions skirt the sky in close-up view of all passersby. You can return again and again for… well, twelve thousand years, and the range will never look the same. It is now possible to gain greater understanding of the park environment and enjoy your time in the Tetons even more by spending time with what Turner calls the “most recent tribes” – rangers and guides.

  • Stolen Guns in America a State-By-State Analysis
    AP PHOTO/JEFF ROBERSON PHOTO/JEFF AP Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 Stolen guns pose substantial risks to public safety 10 Enforcement and policy approaches to reducing gun theft 14 Conclusion 15 Appendix 24 About the authors 25 Endnotes Introduction and summary In the early morning hours of July 5, 2017, New York Police Department officer Miosotis Familia was ambushed as she sat in a marked NYPD command truck with her partner while providing additional security to a Bronx neighborhood after Fourth of July festivities. In an attack that police officials described as an assassina- tion, Officer Familia was fatally shot in the head with a gun that had been stolen in Charleston, West Virginia, four years earlier.1 Less than a month earlier on the other side of the country, a UPS driver in San Francisco shot and killed three co-workers and injured two others using a gun that had been stolen in Utah. The shooter was also armed with a gun that had been stolen in Napa County, California.2 Stolen guns pose a significant risk to community safety. Whether stolen from a gun store or an individual gun owner’s collection, these guns often head straight into the illegal underground gun market, where they are sold, traded, and used to facilitate violent crimes. Gun theft is not a minor problem in the United States.

In this order, we consider the above-captioned applications of Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“Clear Channel”) to acquire the license of station KCGY(FM), Laramie, Wyoming from Gowdy FM 95, Inc., and the license of station KOWB(AM), Laramie, Wyoming from Gowdy Family LP (File Nos. BAL/BALH- 20000915ABK, ABQ). The sellers are related entities with common principals. These applications were uncontested. Because these applications were pending when we adopted the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket No. 01-317 (“Local Radio Ownership NPRM”), we resolve the competitive Federal Communications Commission FCC 02-55 concerns raised by these applications pursuant to the interim policy adopted in that notice.1 After reviewing the record, we find that grant of these applications is consistent with the public interest. I. INTRODUCTION 2. For much of its history, the Commission has sought to promote diversity and competition in broadcasting by limiting the number of radio stations a single party could own or acquire in a local market.2 In March 1996, the Commission relaxed the numerical station limits in its local radio ownership rule in accordance with Congress’s directive in Section 202(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
