Abstract/Description
-
In 2001, the state of Florida's crime rates were at an all time low. This decrease in crime has been accredited to the implementation of the 10-20—Life law in Florida. Since then, policy makers and news media have given Florida's reducing crime rates a substantial amount of attention. However, little interest has been placed on the success or failure of this law within Florida's individual counties. This research describes the firearm crime rates from 1996 to 2001 for Gadsden, Jefferson, and...

Since then, policy makers and news media have given Florida's reducing crime rates a substantial amount of attention. However, little interest has been placed on the success or failure of this law within Florida's individual counties. This research describes the firearm crime rates from 1996 to 2001 for Gadsden, Jefferson, and Leon counties in Florida, examines the effects of the 10-20-Life law, and its basis in the deterrence theory by using an interrupted time series analysis

In this research various management practices of selected playgrounds and golf courses were evaluated for their impact on heavy metal concentration. The playgrounds and golf courses are in Leon County, Florida. The five selected playgrounds were Levy, Messer, Myers, Tom Brown, and Forestmeadows Parks. The golf courses were Gaither, Killearn North, East, and South, Seminole, and Summerbrooke. Soil samples were collected from each golf course and playground. For the golf courses, five samples...
Show moreIn this research various management practices of selected playgrounds and golf courses were evaluated for their impact on heavy metal concentration. The playgrounds and golf courses are in Leon County, Florida. The five selected playgrounds were Levy, Messer, Myers, Tom Brown, and Forestmeadows Parks. The golf courses were Gaither, Killearn North, East, and South, Seminole, and Summerbrooke. Soil samples were collected from each golf course and playground. For the golf courses, five samples were taken from each green and tee for each hole. For the parks, three sets of samples were taken fiom the playfield, the surrounding grassy areas, and from another part of the park at least 150 feet away to be used as a control. The soil samples were analyzed for Nitrates, pH, Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Zinc, and Arsenic concentrations. Dry matter and pH were also determined. The Nitrate content was done at the Agricultural Research Station in Tifton, GA. Micro-Macro Laboratories in Athens, GA performed the metal analyses using the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Our results indicate that there were differences among greens and tees for Nitrates, pH, and metal concentrations on golf courses. The Nitrate content for tees at Gaither, Killearn (South), Killeam (East) were higher than the greens at other golf courses, but at Killeam (North) the greens Nitrate content was higher than the tees. For Levy Park, the Nitrate content of the actual play area was higher than the outside, but not significant compared to the control. In Messer Park the outside Nitrate content was higher than the actual, but not significant compared to the control. In Meyers Park the actual Nitrate content was higher than the outside, but not significant compared to the control. In Tom Brown Park the outside and actual Nitrate content was higher than the control. In F orestmeadows park the outside and actual was higher than the control. There were also significant differences shown within each playground for heavy metals. The aluminum values on the outside and actual areas of each playground were significantly different from the control. Copper values varied among playgrounds and golf courses. At Levy and Tom Brown Park, the outside area was higher than the control. At Forestmeadows Park, the outside and actual were higher than the control. Zinc values also Varied among playgrounds and golf courses. At Levy, Messer, and Meyers parks the actual and outside were higher than the control. At Tom Brown Park, the outside and actual were similar, but they were higher than the control. At Forestmeadows Park, the outside and actual were different from the control. Management practices for each golf course were found to be unique for each golf course and playground

Show moreIn 1971, the Florida Legislature mandated the creation of a repository to "serve the state by collecting and preserving source material on and about African Americans from ancient to present times." This mandate gave birth to what would become James I on known as the Black Archives Research Center and Museum, located on the campus of Florida A&M University. Aided by a grant from the Florida Bicentennial Commission, the Winn-Dixie Foundation and the Florida Legislature, James Eaton constructed in 1976 the first exhibits, using historical memorabilia from his own family. Afterward, he petitioned the university and community members to contribute historical material to the repository. Ilis call was answered by the first Black Archives donors and volunteers, who included: Donald Hill, Frank Pinder, John F. Matheus, and a host of other individuals and groups. Thus, the Research Center was chartered in 1976 and was officially opened in 1977.
