Steve Nowlin, a 37-year law enforcement veteran, recently announced he is coming out of retirement to seek the Montezuma County sheriff's post.
A Republican candidate in the November election, Nowlin retired as a master trooper from the Colorado State Patrol last month, but he told The Cortez Journal on Wednesday, Feb. 5, that his job isn't over. He believes his skills, training, experience and leadership are needed.
"I want to turn Montezuma County around," he said. "This is my home, and I care about the people here. I want to make it how it should be."
Born and raised in Montezuma County, Nowlin graduated from Montezuma-Cortez High School in 1974. He then attended Trinidad State Junior College for one year before becoming a certified Colorado police officer.
Nowlin started his law enforcement career as a patrol officer for the Cortez Police Department. During his 14-year career with the department, he was promoted to sergeant and then to detective.
His municipal service was followed with a three-year stint with the Montezuma County Sheriff's Office, where he served as a detective lieutenant.
Nowlin eventually ended up serving the next 21 years with the Colorado State Patrol. Starting as a state trooper, Nowlin was later promoted to lead multiple criminal investigations – including Operation Four Corners, Southwest Auto Theft Team and BATTLE. He retired as a master trooper on Jan. 31.
"I'm a professional peace officer," he said.
Nowlin said he opted to seek the elected position because of the many challenges facing law enforcement in an ever-changing 21st century. The greatest change includes diversified communities and the various types of crimes that are being committed, he said.
"The key is prevention," said Nowlin. "I'm all about prevention."
"I work with everybody," he added. "It's essential to work with other agencies and other citizens, and my work record shows that."
Asked about Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell's first term in office, Nowlin said he knows he can do a better job as the county's top lawman. The people of Montezuma County also need and deserve better, he said.
"Sheriff Spruell's record speaks for itself," he said.
Nowlin said he has the competency and character required to fulfill the professional duties as sheriff, adding the office is more important than any one individual.
"My job is to be a true professional, because public trust is so very important," he said.
Nowlin said he would match his skills and expertise against any candidate, and he vowed to remain fair and honest without prejudice or vengeance if elected.
"I want there to be a clear choice for the citizens," he said. "I want what's best for them. If it's legal, moral and ethical, then that's what I'm going to do."
A highly decorated officer, Nowlin was named the American Legion's 1992 Police Officer of the Year, Colorado's 2006 Auto Theft Investigator of the Year and nominated for the 2013 Attorney General's Excellence in Law Enforcement Award, to name a few.
Married to his wife, Kathrine, for 35 years, the couple raised two children in Montezuma County, and they now have three grandchildren.
Last month, Spruell announced he would seek a second term as sheriff. He too is running as a Republican candidate.

HUNTLEY – Authorities are searching for a man who stole a taxicab after stabbing the driver in the neck, according to the Huntley Police Department.
Officers responded to Prime Outlets near Route 47 and I-90 in Huntley about 9:30 a.m. today for a report of a man who had been stabbed, according to a news release. The taxicab driver was conscious and alert when police arrived.
The 30-year-old cab driver was able to make contact with an employee at the outlet mall who then called 911, deputy police chief Mike Klunk said. The driver, a resident of Hoffman Estates, was later transported to Sherman Hospital in Elgin with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was taking a passenger to an unknown address in Rockford from Hoffman Estates when the man asked to stop at the Huntley outlet mall, Klunk said. As the driver pulled into the north end of the parking lot, he was stabbed in the neck by the passenger and pushed out of the vehicle.
The man then fled the area in the cab with an unknown amount of cash, Klunk said. The vehicle was later found abandoned in a parking lot near the intersection of Locust and East Main streets in Rockford.
Members of the Illinois State Police spotted the minivan-style taxicab around 10 a.m. and notified the Rockford Police Department that it was entering the area, according to Rockford Police Department Lt. Dane Person. A Rockford patrol officer later observed the taxi near Arnold Avenue and E. State Street.
Officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, at which time the driver was able to elude police near State Street and Vale Avenue, Person said. Traffic on Main Street, the city's major thoroughfare, was heavy at the time of the short pursuit, he added.
The vehicle was later located through the use of the GPS locator inside the vehicle.
The offender was described by the cabbie as a black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants, Klunk said.
Investigators are in that area attempting to locate the man.

I have not been to my local (Northern Virginia) Scout Shop in some time. I was pleasantly surprised to see hammocks in their camping/backpacking section. This was all ENO brand, but they had single and double hammocks, bugnets, hammock straps, hammock flys, etc. Basically you could set up a nice summertime rig with what they had in stock.
Is this a cultural shift for Scouts? I hope so!

Gallstones Without Symptoms: When Surgery Is Needed
Current as of: May 5, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
Experts disagree about whether the gallbladder should be removed for gallstones that do not cause symptoms. Surgery may be needed if you have:
Doctors sometimes recommend surgery for women who are trying to get pregnant. This may be true for a woman who has had symptoms in the past that are believed to be caused by gallstones, and the woman and her doctor are concerned that her symptoms may get worse during pregnancy. They may choose to do surgery to prevent any possible complications, especially if the woman's pregnancy is likely to be high-risk because of other problems.
Most doctors do not recommend that people with diabetes have surgery for gallstones that do not cause symptoms. The risk of surgery in people who have diabetes may be higher than the risk of a gallstone attack. Surgery is recommended after the first occurrence of symptoms.
The gallbladder may be removed during bariatric surgery, even in people who haven't had a problem with gallstones.

The fifth annual World Science Festival took place over five days in New York City in June. (You can find my blog posts from the festival here.) I attended four events on a range of fascinating topics, from the "elusive neutrino" to the disruptive technological power of the Internet. What was perhaps most intriguing, though, was one theme that pervaded all of the discussions. The panelists at each forum described how they struggled more with a crisis of public faith in their work than unraveling the mysteries of the universe. The gap between science and public understanding seems to be greater than ever.
The talks represented a fair sampling of the diversity of scientific research today. "How We Bounce Back: The Science of Human Resiliency" brought to light new research in the field of trauma recovery. "The Elusive Neutrino and the Nature of the Cosmos" concerned the science of some of nature's tiniest, most difficult to detect subatomic particles. The grandiosely-titled "Internet Everywhere: The Future of History's Most Disruptive Technology" brought tech-savvy thinkers together to discuss how the Internet has impacted society and how it might evolve further in the future. Finally, "Pandemic Fix: Seeking Universal Vaccines" examined the state of vaccine research and immunization today.
The panelists spent as much time talking about perceptions of their work as the work itself. Physicists bemoaned the lack of support from the public, and therefore from Congress, for projects critical to the advancement of fundamental particle physics like the cancelled Superconducting Super Collider. Epidemiologists signaled their alarm and disgust with recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, with thousands of cases of mumps on the east coast and tens of thousands of whooping cough on the west. Social psychologists complained of an entrenched popular psychology that damages victims of trauma, while the architects of the Internet try to counter the abandonment of the net's foundational, dispersed-computing principles represented by the cloud.
This growing awareness of public skepticism might shock some scientists. After all, advances in our collective knowledge have led to marvels like modern medicine, space travel and mass transportation. When it comes to the scientific facts of anthropogenic global warming or the extensively shown safety of vaccinations, then, one might expect the public to give similar credence to researchers. It does not. Gallup polls indicate that greater numbers of Americans than ever think that the media greatly exaggerate the seriousness of global warming, leaving many scientists bewildered, wondering what causes this too-common ignorance and what to do about it.
Many of these strategies made an appearance at the World Science Festival. Psychologists interested in human resiliency blamed mass media for hindering the uptake of their research. At another session, a noted physicist and atheist, Lawrence Krauss, went out of his way to pillory the faithful for unthinking dogmatism, for disregarding the proper relationship between faith and reason. Both the psychologists and the physicists had seemingly convinced themselves that educating society more effectively could counter the troubling trends in public opinion.
The health experts presented a different perspective. They observed that outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States differed significantly from those in third world countries. In the latter, the citizens' levels of poverty and education most often impacted whether the vaccine successfully achieved widespread distribution. The United States provided a contrast in that its wealthy and educated populations suffered the worst outbreaks. The panelists admitted that high levels of education and extensive public information campaigns exerted little positive influence on vaccination rates in the States, and they entertained no illusions that further education efforts would yield different results. Some people simply refuse to believe the ample evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.
Seven years ago, Stephen Colbert coined the term "truthiness" to designate the subjectification of fact. While used primarily as a critique of the current political atmosphere, it applies equally well to the way many Americans approach science. Truthiness in the sciences takes root in an essential scientific assumption—that everybody, making the same observations, can universalize from them to arrive at the same rule.
Unfortunately, such a belief in the equal potential of each person to draw the same sound conclusions relies on a prior, often-neglected condition. People can only actually do so if they have developed the proper habits of thought and action. An example here might illustrate the point. In their medical training, doctors do not simply study the information available in books. If that were the case, anybody could become a doctor with some intense reading at the local library. After a period of study and classroom education, medical students must continue their formation with hands-on work under the tutelage of active medical professionals. This period trains doctors to think and act with certain habits that enable them to use the knowledge they acquired in the classroom properly. Similarly, interpreting scientific facts well requires a certain amount of practice, something scientists don't often emphasize to the public.
A further complication arises when well-qualified people disagree among themselves about the interpretation of research. An example from my own undergraduate experience comes to mind. During my study of chemistry, I took a tutorial called "Agents of Global Change." My professor specialized in geochemistry, having worked for a petrochemical company before entering academia. During our meetings, the two of us argued ad nauseum about whether scientists could currently prove global warming, and if so, whether humans cause it. We two scientists looked at the same data and drew different conclusions. I would argue that my professor's petrochemical background biased her reasoning—not that she made her case in bad faith, but that her history negatively impacted her ability to see what a more objectively formed scientist would see. Thus, even if a layman defers to scientific expertise, the question of whose expertise to trust poses a legitimately thorny issue.
Finally, the ease of communication brought about by the information age has amplified the above two problems. The free flow of data enabled by the Internet, itself a good thing, has made it easier for people to access scientific research and to think that they can draw their own conclusions from its results. It has also given those same people a far-reaching platform for disseminating their amateur opinions. Compounded with well-heeled support for Web sites advancing bad science, some public confusion should hardly come as a surprise.
To confront the truthiness creeping into its field, the scientific community will indeed need to go beyond simple education of the masses. It will need to find new ways to engage and shape culture, emphasizing the importance of professional opinion and providing accessible, trustworthy sources to that expertise. Organizations like the World Science Festival have started to do exactly that. I am grateful for their work, and hope they will find a larger and more receptive audience over the coming years.

Well done
The thing that never seems to occur to Lawrence Krauss, as to other New Atheists like Dawkins and Hitchens (may he rest in peace) is that their angry denunciations of the ignorance and danger of relgious faith deepens entrenched attitudes of skepticism against science rather than curing them. When you yell at somebody you disagree with to tell them that they are stupid, they rarely respond by changing their minds to agree with you. But if you try to work *with* them rather than against, you might find your cause more successful.
I like the concept of "truthiness", but it needs more explanation. Does truthiness turn facts into factoids? My understanding of a factoid is that it sounds like a fact, and is presented as a fact, but it isn't.
This is an excellent article on a pervasive and significant problem.
One of the greatest scientists of our time, in my humble opinion, was Richard Feynman - physicist. Here is a short speech he gave in 1956 discussing this "new" problem of science and religion and why it's important to doubt.
In short, we need to be able to do some experiments to prove anything or help remove doubt. This is not easy to do with things like large economies or global climates. We don't have a spare Earth to use as a control to see what would happen if we did this or that. We do our best to draw conclusions and then do whatever we can to disproved them so we learn more about God's creation. Today's science world is full of bad multi-media science for sure (Popular Pysch, etc.) but scientists have not done themselves any favors by trying to hide unfavorable results (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/science/earth/new-trove-of-stolen-e-mails-from-climate-scientists-is-released.html) or by commiting outright fraud (http://healthland.time.com/2012/01/13/great-science-frauds/). It's important for everyone to accept that we ALL have biases - not just the people who we disagree with. Disagreement is at the heart of science. We should NEVER try to remove it. We cannot ask others to be open-minded if we are not ourselves.
Today's dotMagis Ignatian blog seems exceptionally applicable to this entire discussion: http://www.ignatianspirituality.com/13878/a-story-about-disputes/
I really don't understand what you are saying. Climate scientists have been doing hard and complex work to get it right. "Right" is now a 98% agreement that the warming is happening and it's caused by humans. Even the Koch-sponsored scientist Richard Muller admitted it in the NYT. Even though funded by the Kochs, I am sure he succumbed to the fear of any scientist that the scientists of the future will think him intellectually dishonest. I also have to say that climate science is based on well-established physics such as infrared spectography of CO2. THey didn't start from zero.
To Christopher Rushlau:
I'm an optical engineer with a BS in Physics and an MS in optical Engineering. I understand the basics of what the climatologists are saying, but I have a job, and it doesn't have anything to do with climate science but relates some of the basics. I know that climate science gets very complex. What I do gets complex. At some point, I have to accept that these people know what they are doing because I will never put in the man-hours required to function at their level. Anyone who wants to has to put in the years of work. Personally, I think we need to have roving shows that demonstrate at least the basics of how these things work. Like a CO2 laser putting infrared radiation through a container of air and then filling that container with CO2 and watching the throughput decline. Having observed extremely dramatic interactions of that sort, maybe it's my actual direct experience that makes it easier for me to accept the truth.
Mr Kopacz:
I am sorry if I was obscure. My point is that scientists have gotten into the bad habit of accusing those who disagree with them of bias, typically by reference to a funding source (such as the Koch brothers), instead of relying upon actual experimentation to resolve conflciting claims. Thanks to your post, I can now add the appeal to consensus as another proxy for actual scientific proof. I don't doubt that 98% of some class of scientists are convinced that man-made global warming is an indisputable fact. In the old days, scientists would focus their efforts to address the objections raised by the unconvinced 2%. Now they just dismiss them, irrespective of the merits of their challenges.
I would also note that the average layman is understandably sceptical of grand claims about global warming, which is now known as "climate change" precisely because the promised warming has failed to show up. We also know that it will be very difficult for scientists to say anything meaningful about long term climate trends, because of the obvious complexity of the ecosystem, the questionable reliability of historic temperature measurements, and the near impossibility of testing climate theories in a controlled laboratory setting. In my opinion, scientists would do a great service to themselves and the global community if they regained some of the humility and respect for criticism that used to be the hallmarks of your profession.
This opinion that people are not capable or willing to listen to scientific evidence does not accord with my experience at all. I find that the American man in the street (also some women in the street) is very interested in scientific questions, willing to listen to hard experimental evidence and always happy to learn new things.
In line at the post office, riding the subway, at the dog park, I have all sorts of interesting conversations with people: how an engine block behaves like a gyroscope, what the Foucault pendulum at the museum is doing, what all the things on the power lines are, how their cell phone batteries work, what the dog's recent surgery was all about, and everybody is hugely enthusiastic about the new Mars rover. I am always surprised how much I learn in these conversations, how well the average American understands the laws of the universe on an intuitive level from the evidence he encounters in every day life.
It seems to me the examples in this article were deliberately chosen to support a dubious argument. Climate science is notoriously compromised by partisan agenda. Psychology is not a science, it is a pseudo-science, like phrenology and astrology. Vaccinations do not cause autism, but they can put a strain on an infant's immune system, and it is natural for parents to be irrational where their small children are concerned.
When you find that people won't listen to your scientific explanations, you should try listening to them yourself. Probably the problem is (1) you don't really understand your subject very well or (2) you're just really bad at explaining. (In fact, "Agents of Global Change" does not sound like a course one would take in a really serious chemistry program.)
Too many people with scientific degrees have a sloppy understanding of their fields and expect to bully their interlocutors with their titles and credentials, instead of taking the trouble to learn the subject thoroughly. This is where people get the impression that science is politically-motivated dogmatically-formulated mumbo-jumbo (like religion.)
"To confront the truthiness creeping into its field, the scientific community will indeed need to go beyond simple education of the masses. It will need to find new ways to engage and shape culture, emphasizing the importance of professional opinion and providing accessible, trustworthy sources to that expertise."
That is one of the scariest statements I have seen in a long time. Can I say "1984" and the "Ministry of Truth" as Big Science resembles Big Brother.
And how far can one go with a proof? In the case of climate change, it starts with an indisputible physical mechanism. THe CO2 molecule is able to absorb some of the outward thermal radiation flux from the earth due to its vibrational modes and imhomogeneous electrical charge distribution and re-emit it in all directions, some of it back toward the earth. Is even this basic physics in dispute? Can we start there? At some point, however, it gets very complicated and cannot proceed like a step-by-step proof in geometry. It's more like a picture emerging from looking at a vast range of data from an assortment of various fields.

House fire injures homeowner, Londonderry firefighterBy April Guilmet
Union Leader Correspondent
March 17. 2013 10:51AM
LONDONDERRY - A house fire caused by a candle on Elwood Road late Saturday night sent a Londonderry homeowner and a firefighter to the hospital, fire officials said.
Shortly before midnight Saturday a building fire was reported at 29 Elwood Road. Heavy flames were pouring from the rear of the home when firefighters arrived, Fire Marshal Brian Johnson said. The occupants, the owner and a tenant in a downstairs in-law apartment, were evacuated from the building.
Town assessment records indicate the wood-sided, split-level residence is owned by Nancy Cooper. Johnson said the owner was taken to Parkland Medical Center in Derry, where she was admitted overnight for treatment of minor injuries.
The tenant wasn't injured, but a Londonderry firefighter was burned and is in stable condition at the Derry hospital.
Johnson said firefighters had the fire under control by 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, about a quarter of the building was affected.
A four-member American Red Cross Volunteer Disaster Action Team turned out to help, according to Red Cross spokeswoman Lisa Michaud.
The team was able to assist one of the fire victims with immediate needs such as warm clothing and food, Michaud said Sunday. Both victims were referred to additional organizations to help them with long-term recovery.
"We offer assistance to everyone," Michaud said. "But depending on their situation, not everyone accepts."
A Red Cross caseworker will follow up with the fire victims should they need assistance with shelter or other resources in the coming days, she said.
Firefighters from Nashua, Manchester and Auburn provided station coverage while Londonderry battled the blaze, which wasn't their only action overnight.
Several hours later, Londonderry firefighters responded to a second house fire at 5 Shenandoah Ave. They arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. to smoke pouring from the building.
The home was empty when firefighters arrived and the fire was under control in less than a half hour, Johnson said.
Damage was contained to a single room and contents on the structure's lower level. The home sustained minor smoke and water damage.
Fire officials believe an electrical malfunction sparked the blaze.

She joined us to discuss her experiences as a black woman running marathons, and being part of a network of other black marathon runners.

A Conversation with U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo: Marathoner and Fitness AdvocateApril 18, 2014
U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo has been running since she was a school girl in Zimbabwe and South Africa. She continued to run when she came to Massachusetts for college. U-Meleni is not unlike an evangelist when it comes to encouraging people of color (folks of all walks) to run and experience the benefits of working out. In fact, her son can boast of winning medals in his own right at the tender age of three. In 2012, U-Meleni ran the Boston Marathon as a way of processing her feelings upon learning that her mother had cancer and to raise money for a local school. This year, U-Meleni is thankful that her mother is cancer-free, and she'll be on the side-lines to cheer her brother-in-law as he runs the 118th Boston Marathon.

By Talia Whyte

Rev. Jonathan Walton on civil rights and social justiceby Talia Whyte
Dr. Jonathan L. Walton was the keynote speaker at the 43th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast on January 21. The holiday celebrating the life of the slain civil rights leader also just so happened to fall on the same day as the second inauguration of President Barack Obama. Walton was quick to point out this coincidence as well. However, he mentioned to the crowd that while Obama's reelection demonstrates the racial progress made in America, he said there are still many other social and economic inequalities that need the same amount of attention.
Empowering Women & Girls: Nicole Roberts Jonesby Talia Whyte
Nicole Roberts Jones was the mistress of ceremonies at Boston's 43rd annual Martin Luther King Day Breakfast. As the old adage goes, behind every great man is an even greater woman. Coretta Scott King played a vital role as Dr. King's wife and organizing partner. There were many other women who had participated in the civil rights movement, but unlike Mrs. King, Betty Shabazz and Rosa Parks, their accomplishments have been given little attention.
Ella Baker, Septima Poinsette Clark, Fannie Lou Hamer and Vivian Malone Jones are all unsung heroines from that era. Baker was a longtime organizer for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) who worked behind the scenes. Because she was neither a man nor a minister, she was not seriously considered to become the head of the organization. Clark, better known as the "queen mother" of the civil rights movement, was an educator who played a role in a legal victory that would allow blacks to become principals in public schools in Charleston, South Carolina. Hamer was a Mississippi sharecropper, who was beaten and jailed in 1962 for trying to register to vote. She co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and spoke at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Jones defied Gov. George Wallace by becoming one of the first black students to enroll at the University of Alabama in 1963.
And there were countless other women, who are unknown, but worked tirelessly cooking meals and cleaning up after rallies. These women should be the main role models for today's black women, not stars on reality shows.
While no woman gave a speech at the 1963 March on Washington, it seems like their accomplishments are now being recognized. Myrlie Evers-Williams delivered the invocation at President Obama's inauguration – the first ever done by a woman and layperson.
"There's a Chinese saying, 'Women hold up half the world," said former NAACP chairman Julian Bond. "In the case of the civil rights movement it's probably three-quarters of the world."

Records Relating to Washington Bridge Commission | State Archives Catalog
The Washington Bridge, which spans the Seekonk River between Providence and East Providence, was first opened to traffic in 1793. John Brown and a number of other private investors had received a charter of incorporation for the Providence South Bridge Society. Since then, there have been four more bridges at the same location. In 1807, the society changed its name to the Providence Washington Bridge Society. In October 1815, a gale destroyed the existing bridge, soon after which a new charter was granted to petitioners incorporating the society under the new name of the Washington Bridge Society. The bridge was not replaced, however, until sometime in the 1820s. On November 20, 1860 the Society conveyed the "Washington Bridge Estate" to the City of Providence, in accordance with an act passed by the General Assembly. The wooden bridge was destroyed by fire and replaced by another wooden bridge. This bridge lasted until 1885, by which time the General Assembly had already appointed a Washington Bridge Commission in 1883, (Public Law 1883, ch. 349) to develop a steel structure to replace the existing wood structure. This bridge was partly meant to remove serious obstructions to navigation along the Seekonk River. In addition, the new bridge also featured a swing span that permitted bigger vessels to pass through in 1920 the General Assembly established a second Washington Bridge Commission to investigate the feasibility of constructing a higher-level bridge that could accommodate the significantly increased volume of commercial ship traffic. The Commission worked from 1920 to 1924, at which time it submitted a final report to the General Assembly. In 1927, the Commission was directed to proceed with construction. A contract for design was awarded to the Merrittt-Chapman and Scott Corporation and the fifth and current Washington Bridge was completed in 1930.
For post-1930 Washington Bridge documentation, see the Records of the Department of Transportation.

Research Help
Talk with Dr. Wansink/other professors
You should always talk to your professor before starting a project to get their inputs and thoughts. Ask for their advice and then follow it.
Talk to the Religious Studies tutor
FREE tutoring is available in the Learning Center (located in the Clark building on the 2nd floor) for all subjects. The tutors are, for the most part, your fellow students who have been selected by their professors to tutor within the various subject areas. Please make use of this excellent, and FREE, source of help.
Talk to a librarian
The library staff can help you find books, magazines, articles, online resources and access to other research information that you never knew was available. They can also explain how to use inter-library loans to obtain books that are not kept here at VWU. The library is FREE: use it. Do not make the mistake of thinking that everything you need to know about a subject can be found online.
See also: Religious Studies Research Guide
Look on the web
The internet is a valuable research tool and can be beneficial to any project. However, verify the validity of the information you are using; everything on the internet is not necessarily factual. Please be careful of pulling information off of personal web pages and try to restrict searches to academic or professional sites. While the internet can be helpful, do not restrict your research to online sources (professors tend to frown on projects that rely solely on internet obtained information); visit the library as well.
Figure out what interests you
If the limitations of the project allow it, try to pick a topic that interests you. It is hard to "get into" a topic that bores you; imagine how much more so it will be for your readers of that topic. Find something that interests or intrigues you, get it cleared through your professor, and then go for it!
Just do it!
You can research a topic forever and still might feel like you do not have a grasp on the topic. Eventually, you need to just start writing. Do not research a topic to death hoping to get an idea of where you want to go with your paper. Start writing and the ideas will come. You can always do more research after you have started your project.
Turn in drafts!!
This can not be emphasized enough. Most professors will tell you that, if you hope to get at good grade on a paper, you should turn in drafts for inputs from your professor. Professors are usually happy to look at drafts for you; do not be afraid to ask them to do so. If you do not understand their comments on your draft, then ask them to explain the comments. The tutors in the Learning Center will also help you with your drafts.

Educational video
Texting + driving = deadly consequencesBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 20. 2013 7:02PM
KINGSTON — A heartbreaking scene with a powerful message played out on the Kingston Plains Monday morning.
A car crashed had into a tree. A passenger with a bloodied face was unconscious in the front seat.
And several feet away, the driver, later arrested for texting at the time of the crash, rushed over to a young girl who was thrown from the car and found face-down in the grass.
The scene had the elements of a fatal car accident, but it was all part of a video being produced by students in their Modern Media television production class at Sanborn Regional High School.
The class taught by Mark Giuliucci and Brian Gray was hoping for an opportunity to produce its first public service announcement to benefit the school and the community.
Then freshman Jenna Nofsker, 15, of Newton, approached Gray and expressed interest in filming a video about the dangers of texting while driving.
Nofsker said the school's guidance department asked if the class would produce a texting and driving video at the beginning of the school year.
The police and fire departments became involved and agreed to play an active role, bringing in emergency vehicles and personnel to create a dramatic scene that was filmed and will be used in the students' educational video.
"People think about drunk driving but they don't really understand the dangers of texting while driving. It's definitely a serious thing that needs to be talked about," Gray said.
The storyline involved three sisters on their way to school. The oldest sister, played by senior Sarah Boisselle, 17, is behind the wheel and receives several text messages while driving to school. At one point, she decides to look down to check a message and veers off the road and crashes into a tree.
Her "sister," played by Nofsker, suffers a serious head injury in the crash while their younger "sister," Trina Catena, 7, is thrown from the car and dies at the scene.
Trina has done some local acting and is the daughter of the high school's guidance director, Michelle Catena.
While her daughter is young, Catena said she hopes the experience will educate her about the dangers of texting and driving and that one day she'll be able to educate her friends.
The class has produced school-related videos that have been posted on its YouTube channel, but has never filmed a video of this scope, Giuliucci said.
The video is expected to be premiered at the school this fall before it's added to the YouTube channel, ModernMediaProd2011.
Freshman Sophie Smith, 15, of Kingston, helped spearhead the project with Nofsker. She spent nearly two hours in a bucket on a truck to film angles from the air with help from Kingston police Officer Michael Prescott.
The next step will be editing the video.
"We'll have to edit a lot of it," she said.
The filming affected Boisselle on a personal level. She said her best friend was killed in an accident in Maine last November and was texting and not wearing a seatbelt.
Boisselle, who has a 3-year-old niece, was also struck by the image of the young victim in the mock accident.
"You feel it more. It's easier to have that emotion because it's a child," said Boisselle, who was later arrested at the scene by Kingston police Sgt. Michael LePage as part of the storyline and charged with negligent homicide.
Fire Chief Bill Seaman said the department used the filming as a training exercise and an opportunity to use the equipment, including the extrication tools used to free Nofsker from the car.
In addition to Seaman, the department provided six firefighters on a fire engine, three in an ambulance, two in a forestry truck, along with two paramedics from Exeter Hospital.
Seaman said he hopes the video's message reaches drivers.
"I see it personally when I'm driving down the road. I constantly see cars going by me texting. It's amazing how big of a problem it is," he said.
Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. also worked on the project with the school.
"We were able to provide some guidance as to what they could expect at a motor vehicle scene. We're hoping that this sends a very strong message on how dangerous it is to text and drive. We're hoping that it sends a very clear message, not only to students, but to the general public," he said.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican federal police have rescued 58 migrants who were allegedly kidnapped and held in a house near the U.S. border.
The federal police department says in a statement Wednesday that 51 migrants are from Guatemala, six from India and one from El Salvador.
The statement says federal agents rescued the people from a home in Nogales, which is across the border from Nogales, Arizona. A 43-year-old man who was guarding them was detained.
Until recently, most abductions of migrants happened in northeastern Mexico, an area controlled by the Zetas and the Gulf drug cartels. In 2010, the Zetas were blamed for the mass slaying of 72 migrants in northern Mexico.
Organized crime in northwestern Mexico is run by the Sinaloa drug cartel, which controls the border area along Arizona.
