10-20-Life : An exploratory study of Gadsden, Jefferson, and Leon counties in Florida
Title
10-20-Life : An exploratory study of Gadsden, Jefferson, and Leon counties in Florida.
Creator
Yata S. Caine
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...

Abstract/Description
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 moreAfrican American women are vastly underrepresented in higher education administration. With the paucity of literature available, this study serves to increase the understanding and experiences of these female leaders in Florida Community Colleges and to disclose perceived barriers that impede their mobility and representation as chief administrative officers. The community college continues to be the most important higher education innovation of the 20”‘ century (Witt, Wattenbarger, Gollattscheck, & Suppiger, 1994). In the state of Florida, there are 28 community colleges. Of those 28, there are a total of thirty- two chief administrators in 12 of those community colleges, and five African American women currently serve as presidents in 3 of those community colleges. Despite these efforts, African American women are underrepresented in positions as chief administrators in Florida community colleges. In Florida’s 28 community colleges, there are only 32 African American chief administrators—of which 5 serve as president. For the purpose of this study, 21 of the 32 administrators identified met the profile for this study. Administrators serving in their administrative positions at least (3) years or longer were asked to participate. Vaughan’s research on community college leaders states that in most cases it takes more than 5-7 years to establish oneself as a leader. The absence of greater numbers of African American women administrators in the community 16 college suggests the “new generation” of leaders is obtaining a variety of leadership opportunities and staying in them for a shorter time span (Amey, 2002). Moore (2000) stated, “The limited number of African American women makes it difficult for aspiring women leaders to find African American women role models who have been successful in cracking the glass ceiling” (p.1). This term refers to an invisible barrier toward advancement in executive ranks. The glass ceiling is identified primarily as a woman’s issue—— an issue impacting female administrators and those striving for this role in the college community. Unless gains are made in equitable leadership positions for African American women in the community college, the serious consequences of inequity, racism, and sexism will continue to prevail. Figure 4 show that more than 64 percent of college presidents were White men in 2000, signifying virtually no progress in the representation of African American women administrators as CEOs.
