  • Tom Bean Police Department
    Tom Bean Police Department Administrative Directive Number: 102.006 Effective Date: ??/??/2018 Subject: Appearance Standards Revision Date: N/A Affected Personnel: Sworn Personnel Amends/Supersedes: N/A Reference: I. Policy Law enforcement is a profession. An officer’s individual appearance measures part of his or her professionalism. Proper, professional appearance while wearing the police uniform is a matter of personal pride for all officers. It is indicative of esprit de corps and morale within the department. Officers have an individual responsibility for ensuring their appearance reflects the highest level of professionalism. Supervisors at all levels, have a responsibility for implementing and applying the standards contained in this directive to ensure the best interests of the department, including our shared traditions and customs. This directive prescribes the requirements and standards for personal appearance and grooming while serving as an officer with the City of Tom Bean. II. Authority A. Portions of this directive are punitive. Violation of the specific prohibitions and requirements of specific portions by police personnel may result in adverse corrective action up to and including separation. III. Personal Appearance A. Officers will present a professional image at all times and will continue to set the example in police presence, both on and off duty. B. A vital ingredient of the Department’s strength and law enforcement effectiveness is the pride and self-discipline that Tom Bean Officers bring to their service through a conservative police image. It is the responsibility of supervisors to ensure that personnel under their supervision present a neat and professional appearance. Therefore, in the absence of specific procedures or guidelines, supervisors must determine an Officer’s compliance with standards in this directive.

Texas Criminal Justice Coalition 2 April 28, 2010 Dear Members of the Committee, My name is Ana Yáñez-Correa. I am the Executive Director of the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to present testimony on Charge 4: “Examine policies and programs designed to identify, divert, and enhance the supervision and treatment of special needs offenders within local jails and state correctional facilities. Recommend changes to address appropriate alternatives to incarceration or institutionalization.” All too frequently, those suffering from mental illness become entangled in the criminal justice system for non-violent behaviors that are often manifestations of symptoms of their illness and circumstances. This testimony provides recommendations that can assist the Committee in its efforts to implement diversion strategies and other practices that will assist this population in receiving needed treatment, with a specific focus on those consuming beds in county jails.

  • Jim-Rooney-Daa-Induction-By-Menius
    Jim Rooney DAA Presentation by Art Menius IBMA World of Bluegrass Awards Luncheon September 29, 2016 Jim Rooney did me a big favor, writing. In It for the Long Run: A Musical Memoir, so that I could do this presentation. That’s being a friend. Jim is a man who has done it all while enjoying being in it for the long run in many relationships. Think of Bill Keith, Eric von Schmidt, or his eventual spouse Carol Langstaff. At Owensboro I remember Jim, tall and commanding, as his left hand powered the rhythm on a kick ass rendition of Six White Horses.” Not that he limited himself to Monroe covers. His interpretation of the Stones’ “No Expectations” became a go to song. His love for bluegrass began back in Massachusetts in the 1950s when he heard on a band called the Confederate Mountaineers at radio station WCOP. Inspired by the Lillys, Tex, and Stovepipe, it wasn’t too long before Jim was on WCOP himself and hooked on performing. At Amherst he met Bill Keith who would be a friend and musical partner for much of the next 60 years. In 1962, they recorded “Devils Dream” and “Sailor’s Hornpipe,” the first documentation of Bill’s chromatic style shortly before he joined the Blue Grass Boys. The tracks appeared on their Living on the Mountain LP. Their many collaborations would include the revolutionary Blue Velvet Band whose music spread worldwide person to person Mud Acres, and concerts and tours with many different aggregations and combinations. Jim enjoyed sharing a heritage award from the Boston Bluegrass Union and brought us to tears at Bill’s induction into the Hall of Fame.

  • New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte Es El Sur” (Our North Is the South)
    Orayb Najjar Associate Professor Dept. of Communication Northern Illinois University DeKalb, IL 60115 New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte es el Sur” (Our North is the South) Abstract Using Pierre Bourdieu’s Field Theory, especially the concept of the interconvertability of cultural, economic, political and media capital, I examine the rise of regional and global centers of broadcasting that seek to compete with the CNN and the BBC, namely, TeleSUR of Latin America, Al-Jazeera Arabic, and Al-Jazeera International (AI) of Qatar (launched worldwide on November 15, 2006). I also describe the Latin American and Arab questioning of the inevitability of following “the Anglo- 2 Saxon” model of “commercialization, depolitization and trivialization of news.” I examine the countermeasures the U.S., British and French governments are taking to fend off this regional and global competition from Latin American and Arab media.1 I conclude that diversity and the expansion of the news pie is a healthy phenomenon that is bound to help serious news gathering and reporting worldwide against the rising trend of infotainment that has started to taint serious news dissemination in the United States. New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte es el Sur” (Our North is the South) “Television is a window on the world. But if you are sitting in Latin America, that window is more likely to be facing Baghdad than Buenes Aires. Or show Michael Jackson instead of Mexico City. Or offer a clearer view of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution than the one in Ecuador last month. Those networks do not cover regional news, like CNN Espanol, based in Atlanta, or Spain’s TVE, are often considered US or Eurocentric, with pundits sitting in Washington or Madrid.

  • The World Before Scruggs
    THE WORLD BEFORE SCRUGGS "Try to imagine the world before Earl Scruggs -- it's unbelievable!" This exclamation by Rick was how our May, 1985 talks began, and it offers a keynote for his music and his thinking. To hear this makes you realize there's a lot more to Rick Shubb than "the guy who makes those capos." Still, one little invention has made Rick's name a musical household word: the ingenious and beauti- ful guitar (and banjo) capo known, simply, as the Shubb capo. Actually, Rick's other products include the innovative Shubb banjo fifth-string sliding capo, the Shubb compensated banjo bridge, the Shubb- Pearse steel (a distinctive bar for Dobro and steel guitar), a pickup and amplifier designed specifically for the banjo (no longer on the market). Most recently, his aptitude for computer database develop- ment has led him to produce a line of computer software for musicians.The first in this line is SongMaster, which will keep track of your songs, followed by GigMaster, a booking tool for musi- cians. Both are easy and affordable, and now available. But the guitar capo in particular has really put his name on the map.
