The high today will be 69 degrees, and the low will be 50. Be sure to pack your umbrellas for early thunderstorms and afternoon rain. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons A new "Stand Your Ground" law was cited in a recent Columbia shooting Senate Bill 656, which went into effect Jan. 1, allows citizens to use deadly force whenever they feel reasonably threatened, without retreating first. This is commonly referred to as “Stand Your Ground.” Columbia resident Karl Henson was arrested last month for first-degree felony after shooting at a man who tried to steal his cellphone. “The only reason I thought it was okay to shoot at him while he was running away was because of what happened with the new year on the law change,” Henson said in the probable cause statement for the Jan. 23 incident. Column: It's brutal having someone sit in your unassigned assigned seat Columnist Kennedy Horton tackles the problem we’ve all experienced: someone stealing your unassigned assigned seat. “Determining one’s seat happens in the first two days of class. The rules of a classroom versus a lecture hell are a bit different, because after a certain row in a lecture, it doesn’t matter; it’s just all counted as “the back.” Nevertheless, there are still rules. After two days of class, you should be locked in and solidified. You’re essentially sworn into that seat until the end of time, or at least the semester. Therefore, it’s a crime to sit anywhere else.” Read more here. Recap: The Chicago Blackhawks won 5-1 against the Buffalo Sabres. In the NBA All-Star Game last night, West Conference came out on top. Mizzou women’s basketball won 62-60 against South Carolina. What to Watch: The St. Louis Blues take on the Florida Panthers at 7 p.m. on FSMW.

The Virginia Avenue Parking Structure | Courtesy of MU Parking and Transportation MUPD issues crime alerts about sexual assaults and other suspicious incidents by Virginia Avenue The MU Police Department received a report of a sexual assault of a female student — which involved the suspect following her, then hugging and kissing her — near the Virginia Avenue Parking Structure at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. They sent out a crime alert that night, which initially only mentioned this incident and another similar incident the suspect could have been involved in. The department later released two more crime alerts describing three additional incidents. Yesterday afternoon, the third crime alert said officers had identified the suspect and brought him to MUPD. MU will add a Native American indigenous studies minor The new minor will be available in fall 2017 through the religious studies department. The minor is intended to provide an interdisciplinary overview of Native American studies and to look broadly at Native American communities through political, social, economic and historical lenses. Dennis Kelley, an associate professor in the religious studies department, has been the leading force behind the creation of the minor. “There is an expressed interest from the students as evidenced by our classes being quite popular,” Kelley said. “People are interested and concerned about American Indian and indigenous issues both here and abroad.” Recap: The St. Louis Blues lost 2-1 against Florida Panthers. What to Watch: Mizzou men’s basketball play the University of Kentucky at home in Mizzou Arena at 8 p.m. The Chicago Blackhawks take on the Minnesota Wild at 7 p.m. on NBCS. Daisy Ridley | Courtesy of Twitter Actor Josh Gad is like most Star Wars fans right now: desperate for anything about the eighth installment of the series, which will be titled “The Last Jedi.” Gad has been trying to get information out of his co-star Daisy Ridley, who is the leading lady of the most recent additions to the franchise, in a series of videos on Twitter.

Missouri Students Association presidential slates Nathan Willett/Payton Englert (left), Josh Stockton/Shruti Gulati (center) and Tori Schafer/Riley de Leon (right) speak in the first of two presidential debates at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Bengal Lair. (photo courtesy of MUTV) The first MSA presidential debate of the campaign was last night in Bengal Lair The candidates squared off on several subjects, including the It’s On Us program to combat campus sexual assault, MSA outreach to campus organizations and campus accessibility. The slates do not agree on whether they support a past joint session resolution that calls for MU to divest from prison labor, and all three slates support the Enhance Mizzou fee, which would expand library and Counseling Center access, among other things. When asked to disclose how much money their campaigns planned to spend, Schafer said her campaign would spend around $1,800, and Stockton/Gulati said they would spend around $1,500. Willett/Englert had raised $4,885 as of Tuesday night for their campaign through a GoFundMe page with a fundraising goal set at $10,000. All three slates agreed campaign funding and endorsements should be regulated and that the cost of running an MSA campaign can be a barrier for the involvement of some students. A Columbia man was arrested last week for supporting terrorism An undercover FBI investigation resulted in the arrest of Columbia resident Robert Lorenzo Hester Jr., 25, on charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. The arrest took place on Feb. 17. On Jan. 31, an undercover FBI agent posing as an Islamic State operative asked Hester to procure a materials for a fabricated terrorist attack, which would target public transportation in Kansas City. Hester followed the agent’s directions and expressed full support for the fabricated attack on multiple occasions.

What to Watch: In SEC basketball, Vanderbilt takes on Tennessee at 6:30 p.m., and Texas A&M faces Arkansas at 8:30 p.m., both on the SEC Network. JoMerra Watson's paintings. (photo by Julia Hansen) Feature: Junior JoMerra Watson alters iconic paintings to confront contemporary issues By Hannah Simon For many, prints of masterpieces such as the “Mona Lisa” and “The Birth of Venus” cling to the cinderblock walls of student dorm rooms. For one MU student, however, these iconic paintings are blank canvases ready to be recreated. JoMerra Watson, a fine arts junior with an emphasis in painting, redefines iconic paintings such as Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” and Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in her series “Rewrite.” The series, displayed at the Visual Art and Design Showcase held at Jesse Hall from Jan. 30 to Feb. 3, incorporates black women into the artwork. In doing so, Watson aims to confront contemporary issues, such as the black community’s lack of representation in art, police brutality and modern-day standards of beauty. Read the rest here.

University of Missouri professor Melissa Stormont lays flowers on the steps of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri. | Lane Burdette/Photographer Local citizens hold solidarity march in Columbia in response to Trump's "Muslim ban" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that limits the immigration from seven majority Muslim countries. The rally started in Peace Park to stand with local Muslims. A representative of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri led about 200 people from the park to the mosque at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, where they were greeted with cookies, snacks and juice. The marchers left their signs and flowers on the front steps of the mosque and then returned to Peace Park. CPD faces allegations of illegally recording client-attorney calls The complaint was filed against the Columbia Police Department by attorney Stephen Wyse on Jan. 23. Wyse filed the complaint after he read about a drunk driving case in the Columbia Daily Tribune, in which cops violated attorney-client privilege by covertly observing and recording the conversation. Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally intercept, disclose or use any wire, oral or electronic communication through the use of a “device,” and law enforcement officers may only wiretap a conversation in which one of the parties involved in the conversation has consented to the recording.

Gov. Greitens has yet to make his own nominations to fill the open positions.

    Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence Lauren Reagan When prospective students first tour the University of Missouri-Columbia’s campus, they are thinking about academic programs, Tiger football, and the incredible recreational center. The last thing that crosses a student’s mind is being in danger, and tour guides are not likely to mention campus violence. When parents bring up safety issues, the emergency call system and campus police force assures them, and the problems Mizzou faces with assault, rape and robbery can be ignored. In accordance with the Clery Act, the University of Missouri must send students emails every time a violent act occurs on campus (Evaluation of Green Dot 777). For most MU students, this is the first they hear of campus danger. Many factors such as gender roles, alcohol use and societal norms lead to violence on Mizzou’s campus. These crimes cause not only physical, but also emotional and mental damage to victims, and students are beginning to protest. The Maneater published an editorial urging students to take a stand against violence, and former MSA president, Xavier Billingsely, sent a mass email in November 2012 urging the same. Current university prevention programs are simply not producing enough results. It is time for students, faculty and community members to change how violence is addressed. http://artifactsjournal.missouri.edu/2013/05/our-home-away-from-home-putting-a-stop-to-college-campus-violence/[9/15/2014 1:13:04 PM] Our Home Away From Home: Putting a Stop to College Campus Violence – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri College campuses can be a breeding ground for violence, and a place society expects to be a learning community can become extremely dangerous.
