  • Free Range Aoudad Offer Challenging Hunt Page 6
    OUTDOOR REPORTER New Mexico Wildlife Federation www.nmwildlife.org Summer, 2021 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW PAGE 5 HARD COUNTRY: A LESSER PRAIRIE-CHICKEN FINAL FRONTIER PAGE 8 FREE RANGE AOUDAD OFFER CHALLENGING HUNT PAGE 6 EATING UNICORN AND DRINKING BOURBON PAGE 7 A Word from our Executive Director Throughout my youth, I was distraught about the dates the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish designated for spring turkey season. During those years, turkey season started very near the end of spring break for Albuquerque Public Schools. I have many memories spending time with my dad in the Gila listening to gobblers as they strutted for hens days before the season opened. Generally, we would get to hunt gobblers for only the last one or two days of the trip. Now, decades later, I recognize that the timing of turkey season could not be better. Turkey season now provides the perfect opportunity to retreat into the wilds following our New Mexico legislative session. The 2021 session was especially challenging. SB312, “The New Mexico Wildlife Heritage Act,” was possibly the largest wildlife bill ever to be introduced in New Mexico. It’s often said, “Go big or go home!” Well, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation went big -- and we stayed home. Due to the pandemic, this was a crazy session filled with Zoom meetings and virtual votes. Although the NMWF gave it our best effort, SB312 failed to pass, and that’s a shame. Among many other things, the bill would have repealed the current law that sets aside 10 percent of the big game tags from our draw pool to hunters -- many of them nonresidents -- who can afford to retain an outfitter.

JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE EDUCATION • Volume 14 • Number 1 • Summer 2015 Swansonomics: Using “Parks and Recreation” to Teach Economics L. Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.

  • Tri Polar World Turns – Tri Polar World 3.0 January 24Th, 2020
    As The Tri Polar World Turns – Tri Polar World 3.0 January 24th, 2020 As we begin a new decade it's a good time to both think through some recent Tri Polar World (TPW) developments and consider what the future might hold. From its NAFTA related origin over 25 years ago to its TPW 2.0 iteration post the 2008-9 Great Financial Crisis (GFC) through to Brexit, the Trump presidency and the US - China trade fight, the TPW construct has continued to evolve. Focused on regional integration in the three main regions of Asia, Europe & the Americas, it has been a useful way to think about geo politics, the world economy & financial markets. More recently, the sharpening of US - China tech competition and the rapid rise of climate concerns have provided the outlines for the next phase of TPW’s evolution. These include “Splinternet” to describe the separation of tech into two distinct, US and China led camps, with Europe playing the role of regulator. There is also the growing web of issues around the cost- benefits of tech, ranging from privacy and data concerns to antitrust and digital tax issues. On the climate side, Europe is fast becoming the regional standard bearer for climate action as it becomes evident that climate change will not be dealt with globally (US to withdraw from the Paris Accord) nor locally as the smoke from the bushfires of Australia affecting New Zealand air quality illustrates. Let's start with a review of the TPW construct, its origin, evolution and main drivers.

    ABSTRACT “Our Real Family, The One We Chose”: The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family Max Romanowski, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: James M. Kendrick, Ph.D. Throughout history, the situation comedy (or “sitcom”) has continually been used as a form of comfort for the viewer. The original sitcoms of the 1950s were filled with themes that reinforced the stability of the traditional family model after the cultural shifts during the world wars. While that style of sitcom and its family has changed, its function to viewers has largely remained the same. While it no longer is about reinforcing a traditional family structure, the sitcom does work to comfort the viewers that are watching. This study works to examine how and why the sitcom family has evolved, what the new sitcom family looks like today, and what that means for societal values. The sitcoms Friends (1994), The Office (2005), Parks and Recreation (2009), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013), and Community (2009) will be used as case studies to understand the new dominant type of sitcom family: The constructed family. iv "Our Real Family, The One We Chose": The Function of Comfort in the Sitcom Family by Max Romanowski, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of Communication David W. Schlueter, Ph.D., Chairperson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Baylor University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Approved by the Thesis Committee James M.
