Abstract
This paper explains that one of the roles of park rangers and game wardens is to act as a law enforcement officer. The author points out that a major feature of the job is its variety, which means that there really are no ?typical? days. The author relates that a key aspect of the working conditions is that a park ranger generally spends the majority of their time outdoors, which is often mentioned as one of the key benefits of being a park ranger; however, it should be remembered that working outside on a long-term basis is not always as great as it initially sounds.

Working Conditions of a Park Ranger/Game Warden
From the Paper
"A master?s degree is also worth considering for some individuals. Master?s degrees can be completed in any of the fields described above and can help an individual gain a position as a park ranger. A master?s degree is also especially useful for individuals wanting to progress to higher levels within the industry. While a person can choose to complete a master?s degree immediately after completing a bachelor?s degree, it is often recommended that individuals gain employment first and complete the master?s degree while working. The experience gained while the master?s degree is being completed often puts the person in a good position to gain employment at a higher level on completion of the master?s program."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Rusk's book is an insightful and well-researched addition to the current understanding of urban management and public administration. The writer explains that Rusk argues convincingly that improvement in inner city neighborhoods can only come from a coordinated effort that includes regional approaches to reducing suburban growth, the concentration of poverty, and financial differences.
From the Paper
"In Inside Game / Outside Game, Rusk argues for reform of metropolitan regions based on the interrelationship between urban management and management of other, outside concerns, like taxation, suburban growth, and housing practices. Rusk argues that revitalization of neighborhoods, affordable housing, preservation of open space and fiscal policy reform are closely related. As such, changes in factors like taxation or housing practices can have a profound effect in urban neighborhoods."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Texas Rangers were established over 180 years ago as a means to protect American settlers in this new, harsh land. The author points out that the Rangers fought back against a tarnished reputation and underwent a number of changes in duties to establish themselves as one of the most respected law enforcement agencies in the country. The paper relates that, since the majority of Rangers keep their jobs until they retire, for each opening, there are 150 to 300 applicants.

From the Paper
"A law was passed by the Texas Legislature in 1901 ?creating four companies with 20 Rangers in each .? However, the image of the Rangers became tarnished in the late 1920?s due to political corruption. When ?Gov. Miriam Ferguson took office in 1933, more than 2,000 Special Rangers were appointed, including some ex-convicts, causing many Rangers to resign. After an investigation by a Texas Senate committee, Texas law enforcement was overhauled and the Rangers came under the control of the Department of Public Safety.? The Rangers were condensed to a force of 36, who received specialized training and their own crime lab."

Abstract
The paper explains that, in 1823, Stephen F. Austin, realizing a vital need to protect the people of Texas, organized a group of men, which would become the Texas Rangers, to "range" the frontier and guard against hostile Indians. The author points out that, in their earliest beginnings, the Rangers had only single shot pistols and rifles; therefore, they readily accepted the Colt .36 caliber five-shot revolver, which gave the Rangers deadly precision in defense of the Texas frontier. The paper relates that one of the most famous Texas Ranger was Captain Leander H. McNelly, who organized the "McNelly's Rangers" and was a man whose iron will and daring courage set the standard by which future Texas Rangers would be measured.
From the Paper
"Captain John H. Rogers spent a better part of his career chasing the Conners, a gang of murderers and outlaws who had defied the civil authorities and in fact the whole country. These desperate men were the old man Conner and his three sons, Fred, William and John. The Conners were routinely joined by whatever criminal might be hiding out from the law. The Conners were incredible shots and lived almost like Indians in the forests of Sabine County. Rogers and his Rangers spent many years tracking down the Conners but were never able to find the notorious gang."

Abstract
This paper traces the history and origins of the Texas Rangers and explains how they eventually evolved into an elite state police force. The paper discusses the Texas Ranger's role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the people of Texas, their involvement in the African-American struggle for full citizenship and civil rights, their mythic status among the people of Texas and how they have come to represent, at least in the minds and hearts of their fellow citizens, all that is good and noble in the American Character.
From the Paper
"While these activities could still be called "soldierly," they do represent the slow movement of the Rangers toward a genuine police role. After all, the protection of life and limb is deemed, by no less a document than the Declaration of Independence, to be necessary to the pursuit of happiness. The Texas Rangers, in something resembling their original form, proved useful so long as Texas was still sparsely settled and "wide-open" territory. But as modern ideas of policing and criminal justice began to develop, the Rangers saw dramatic changes take place in their organization and its role."

Gender Transgression and Video Game Culture, 2007.
An examination of gender transgression - specifically, the violation of traditional gender roles by females - in video games and video game culture.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that video games represent a site for role-playing in ways that violate both the corporate-constructed gender roles of game worlds, as well as the norms of masculine and feminine in our society. The writer discusses how this analysis applies to a range of levels in video game culture: the design level with its sub-culture of game patch design where users patch existing video games to fundamentally re-design game worlds that reflect distinct constructions of masculinity and femininity and the game play level where both female and male users play games in ways that challenge normative gender roles. The writer's main focus is on female game designers and players, whose interactions with video game culture critically undermines common conceptions of female gender identity.

Introduction
Gender Bias as a Methodological Problem
Women Coding Women: The New Gaming Female
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In reviewing the scholarly literature upon gender roles and video game culture, it is important to recognize the operation of gender bias as a methodological problem. Before one can address the subject of video game and gender role transgression among females, one must note the profound degree to which traditional gender biases appear to impact scholarship on the subject of video game culture. Consider, for example, the question of the popularity of video games among males versus females, as well as the view that males prefer "violent" games while female players tend to reject these games for games that better reflect "feminine" qualities. There is a substantial body of research literature that has argued since the late 1980s that video games are a predominantly male cultural preoccupation. Surveys tended to reveal an extraordinary disproportion both in terms of numbers of players and the lengths of time devoted to gameplay. For example, adolescent boys have been shown to be as much as three times more likely to play video games as adolescent girls."

" In 1999, more than 20 billion game sets and software were sold, surprisingly more than the Hollywood box office for the first time in history. This just tells us that more and more people are playing games than they were before. This also means that more people are playing games instead of watching movies or even reading books. Making games the most popular form of entertainment on planet Earth. This also makes us see the transformation of digital entertainment into a proper art form."

"Violence has been an issue with video games since their birth, but not with out due reason. Although some games only have little if any violence, at the other end of the spectrum there is games like Grand Theft Auto, Soldier of Fortune, and Hitman1&2. In Grand Theft Auto (GTA) players are rewarded for the theft of cars, the killing of innocent bystanders by either running them over in a car or shooting them with a weapon. While in the original version of GTA, which had a birds-eye view perspective, and unrealistic graphics, by the release of GTA3 it is a third-person view, with realistic graphics and highly realistic driving physics (it was originally banned in Australia)."

Abstract
This paper presents a project that attempts to verify the role of strategic level war games in war-planning and to determine, in particular, the potentials of the Doziet strategic war game invented by Dozie Nwanna. The author cites the long history of war games and their impact on actual military strategy and success. The first part of the paper is comprised of a theoretical study of the general role of war games; the second half consists of a comparison of the Doziet war game with other popular war game devices. The author concludes that the introduction of increasingly sophisticated war gaming technology such as Doziet and Grand-Doziet have provided policymakers and military planners with the opportunity to better understand the potential implications of a given set of variables on the outcome of a military conflict.

From the Paper
"With a war on terrorism being actively prosecuted on two fronts today, and with the potential for two (or three) more in the future, the U.S. military is stretched very thin indeed. Because resources are by definition scarce, it is important for the armed forces to make the maximum use of the tools and talent that they have available to accomplish their organizational goals. In this regard, the Chief of Staff of the United States Army announced recently the intent to develop a strategy that will transform the Army over the next two to three decades into a force that will remain dominant across the full spectrum of operations while becoming more strategically responsive (Gonzales, Iv, Howe, Johnson, Moore & Pimie, 2001). These objectives, though, are constrained by the increasingly high costs associated with combat training and the need to maintain constant vigilance while pursuing any directly noncombat-related training endeavors such as war games, which are discussed further below."

Abstract
This paper relates that the Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD)
was founded as the Illinois Association of Conservation and Park Districts 75 years ago to establish and protection parks and to conserve wildlife.

The paper relates that, today, each of the more than 40 park districts, forests, and conservation parks in the state of Illinois has a police force to patrol, routinely enforcing laws regarding recreation, hunting, and boating, and especially the use of drugs and alcohol.
From the Paper
"The DNR or the Illinois Department of Natural Resources states that its mission is to protect and manage and to conserve the various natural resources that the state of Illinois can very proudly boast of, and to provide those recreational opportunities to interested people that would not harm or spoil these natural resources in any manner. The Educational Department of the DNR was launched in the year 1995, with the primary aim of the development of educational methods and of the training methods involved in the conservation of natural resources of Illinois. It also was to provide hands on training for those persons wanting to indulge in the various outdoor activities that Illinois offers, such as snowmobiling, boating and hunting methods."

Abstract
This paper traces the history of the Olympic Games from the first record of the games at Olympia in 776 BC. It looks at how the first Olympic Games were not the games of today that represent a worldwide competition between the best athletes of the world. The ancient Olympic Games were dedicated to the Gods and only involved Greek athletes. It also examines the beginnings of the modern Olympic Games from their inception in France in 1900 and how they have over the years endeared political influences, performance enhancing drugs and the bribery of the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
From the Paper
"The ancient Greek Olympics were held every four years from 776 BC for the next 12 centuries. The ancient games lasted until 393 AD. The Romans had won the wars against the Greeks in 146 BC and were now in control of the Olympics. The games lasted until 393 AD, when the Roman Emperor Theodosius I (Rolfe 14) decided to end the games. The Emperor was incensed that the people were worshipping the gods and he wanted them to worship him. The Romans ruined the Olympic stadium and what was left was destroyed by natural events, such as floods and earthquakes. This was the end of the ancient Greek Olympic games. It would be centuries before the games would be reinstated and they would be different from the ancient games, but the influence of the ancient Greeks would forever be evident in the competitions."

"In 1955, Walt Disney opened an amusement park in Anaheim, California, which changed the way that Americans, and the world, viewed such entertainment. Once the domain of carnival hucksters, amusement parks underwent a significant makeover at the hands of the head of the Disney Studios. Through shrewd marketing, including a tie-in to a national television program, Disney successfully marketed Disneyland as a unique entertainment experience and made his theme park world famous. In the mid-1960s, plans were made for a second park, this one located in Florida, which was significant larger than the Anaheim park and which opened in the early 1970s. A third theme park opened in the 1980s in Tokyo, and a fourth in Europe in the early 1990s. The company also operates resorts at each of the theme park sites (with the exception of ..."

"Other recent research reported is that of the studies, three in number that were set for release in January by Anderson, Gentile & Buckley. These three studies include a correlational study, an experimental study and a longitudinal study (the first) with children. The experimental study consisted of 161 9-12 year old and 354 college aged students playing violent and non-violent video games. Findings state that violent games increased the aggressive behavior of both groups. The correlational study was conducted by surveying 189 high school students stating findings that those who engaged in games that are more violent also engaged in more behaviors that are violent. The longitudinal study was conducted over the period of a school year and state findings that the children who were witnessed to have increased their aggression were the same children who played more violent video games over the course of the school year."

"Since 1916, more than 370 parks of great natural beauty and grandeur from Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to the Hawaiian Islands have been managed and preserved by the National Park Service (NPS) which is a bureau of the United States Department of the Interior. Such great historic and natural treasures as the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone; are now parks that preserve the pristine animal habitats or echo the nation's history, such as the Gettysburg Battlefield or preserve such notable landscapes as Mesa Verde and parks along seashores, lakeshores, and river-ways. They also provide opportunities for outdoor activities, such as at Assateague Island and Lake Mead. (National Park Service 2006)."
