This document proposes creating a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Journal to raise awareness of MTBI among service members and the public in each US state and territory. The journal would include generic MTBI information and state-specific stories, resources, and photos provided by each state's National Guard Public Affairs Office. Kentucky's PAO would integrate the content and a printer would produce physical and online versions to be distributed by each state's PAO.

Written Lecture
Introduction
In this unit we will consider and compare the value and importance of two forms of support mechanisms affecting most all public fire service agencies: external and internal. External support comes from a wide range of agencies and organizations, both public and private, whereas internal support comes from within the department itself. Both sources of support functionality are an integral part of an effective and efficient modern fire department.
Chapter 5: Public and Private Support Organizations
National organizations and agencies: Support organizations and agencies can be found at many different levels: international, national, state, and local. Many private organizations are non-profit or not-for-profit agencies having tax exemption protection under the Federal Tax Code known as 501(c)(3). Non-profit organizations are allowed to solicit contributions and donations without paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) providing that such organization meets the criteria of the law. More on 501(c)(3) can be found in IRS Publication 557 in the Supplemental Reading section of the Unit IV Study Guide.
Not all private support organizations are tax exempt. However, typically their mission statement is to provide “free” services to those in need. Non-profit agencies rely heavily on contributions from the public-at-large in order to maintain a level of service within their geographical region or area of coverage. Conversely, publicly funded support agencies receive their operating budgets from tax dollars which come from local, state, and/or federal sources.
Your textbook lists approximately 49 national and international support agencies, 26 federal organizations, 15 state organizations, and 13 local agencies. The actual numbers are likely to vary from region to region, though the purpose is generally the same of all agencies. These organizations provide various forms of

1. A memo addressed to the client of your choice (2 pages maximum).docxdorishigh
1. A memo addressed to the client of your choice (2 pages maximum):
1. Summarize the article
2. Describe why and how the content of the article applies to the specific client
2. In an attachment (2-3 pages maximum):
1. Gather and read other sources of information related to the topic. Based on this broader research, explain the concept, features, advantages and drawbacks, etc. of the topic(s) of your article
Be sure to cite all relevant sources that you used in researching the topic
2. Provide website links and references to articles so the client can find further
information, explaining why or how they relate to the current article
3. Be sure to add value to the client above what he/she/them would be able to attain
by simply reading the article themselves.
Page 1
3. Attach the article including all source information (including source publication, author and publication date, as a minimum).
To reiterate, this is not a copy and paste exercise and will be graded as such. You need to educate yourself on the topic(s) covered in the articles chosen by your group and write your memo and related documents in your own words, using the knowledge you attained from your research and from class. Any group caught copying from another group or any other source will receive a zero on the assignment and potentially an automatic F in the course. This penalty is applicable to all group members, even if one person admits to the copying.
Your memo should be worded as a letter to your client. For instance, it may start something like “I saw this article and thought it would be applicable to you....”. And while you are expected to research and digest the knowledge you attain given your advanced knowledge of the topic(s), you should write the memo and related documents so that the client can easily understand what it is that you’re trying to convey.
As you choose an article, you will have to decide which of your clients it relates to. You have many clients in various stages of life. They include the following:
John Brimmer: John recently divorced from his wife, together with whom he has three children, all under the age of 10 years old. John has been ordered to pay monthly child support and wants to eventually move from his one bedroom apartment into a modest house. His current income is $75,000 per year and he is 34 years old.
Dwight and Magda Radeon: The married couple currently lives in Ontario, is in their mid-40’s and have no children or other dependents. Their current financial objective is to retire in their mid-50s, sell their house and travel the world.
Jennifer Stains: Jennifer, 30, is a single mother of one child who currently works full- time at the front desk of a hotel, making $23,000. Jennifer struggles to pay the bills each month and worries greatly about her job security.
Matthew Towns: Matthew is 18 years old, has just graduate from high school, and has a summer job making $16 per hour. Matthew will start university in Nova Sco ...
Discussion What Is NewsAs you watch a local news program or re.docxelinoraudley582231
Discussion: What Is News?
As you watch a local news program or read a newspaper, you consume the report of recent events created by professional—and sometimes amateur—writers, editors, and reporters. Regardless of their status, these journalists take time to consider the details of a story and how to present it to you, the news consumer. These details can have a powerful effect on how you perceive local, national, and world events. In this Discussion, you will have an opportunity to become a more savvy news consumer by choosing a news story, determining how it was created, and tracking its “newsworthiness” from the day the story “breaks” through several days afterward.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Choose a discussion thread based on the topics available this week.
· Each thread will present a different topic for a news story. For the topic stated in your chosen thread, you will find a news story that has the necessary elements for it to be considered news and determine whether the news story will persist or fade away.
· Review Chapter 13 in the Course Text, The Dynamics of Mass Communication: Media in Transition.
· Based on the five elements in the reading, reflect upon what is considered to be “news” and what is not. How does the definition of news change?
· Consider the multiple modes of mass communication used to deliver news stories. How do you consume news? How does your choice of mode impact how you view local and world events?
For this Discussion, choose one thread from the choices listed this week. Each thread is limited to a maximum number of students based on class size. A thread will close if the limit is reached. If a thread is closed to new posters, select from the open threads. You will post both your initial post and your response post in the same thread.
By Day 3
Thread 1: International Relations
· Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen international relations news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news? What aspects of the story’s message make you believe it would be or wouldn’t be the lead story for the evening news, and why?
Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading or your chosen news story and record in your assignment information about each source, including author, year, page number, and publication title.
Thread 2: Economics
· Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen economics news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news? What aspects of the story’s message make you believe it would be or wouldn’t be the lead story for the evening news, and why?
Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading or your chosen news story and record in your assignment information about each source, including author, year, page number, and publication title.
Thread 3: Entertainment
· Post a 1- to 2-para.
2. BACKGROUND
Mild
Traumatic
Brain
Injury
(MTBI)
can
be
caused
by
a
hit
or
blow
to
the
head
that
results
in
a
loss
or
alteration
of
consciousness.
MTBI
is
often
described
as
a
concussion.
MTBI
is
one
of
the
most
common
forms
of
combat-‐related
injury
and
is
prevalent
among
Servicemembers
who
are
injured
during
operations,
to
include
the
Global
War
on
Terror.
Regular
concussions
are
typically
caused
by
direct
impact
to
the
head.
Further
evidence
in
the
study
of
head
injuries
suggest
that
the
pressurized
blast
waves
produced
by
powerful
IEDs
and
rocket-‐propelled
grenade
inflict
a
fundamentally
different
type
of
brain
injury,
yet
a
TBI
none-‐the-‐
less.
PURPOSE
The
purpose
of
the
Mild
Traumatic
Brain
Injury
Journal
is
to
create
awareness
for
the
publics
of
each
state
and
territory
of
MTBI
and
its
effects
on
our
Servicemembers.
This
MTBI
Journal
could
benefit
Servicemembers,
family
members,
employers,
educators,
elected
officials
and
the
general
populace
of
each
state
and
territory
as
a
resource
guide
and
general
education
journal.
To
the
injured
Servicemembers
and
their
families,
the
MTBI
Journal
can
provide
comfort,
inspiration
and
resources
to
cope
with
the
injuries.
OVERALL
SCHEME
OF
MANEUVER:
Create
a
Mild
Traumatic
Brain
Injury
Journal
with
specific
content
from
all
54
states
and
territories.
Each
state
and
territory
will
be
able
to
input
content
for
publication
specific
to
their
situation
–
if
requested
or
intended
–
to
both
a
physical
magazine
and
a
web
version
of
the
same
periodical.
The
offline
and
online
versions
of
this
publication
will
be
similar
to
the
Brain
Injury
Alliance
of
Kentucky
Military
MTBI
Resource
Journal
print
and
PDF
version
as
seen
via
the
link
below:
http://www.biak.us/sites/default/files/BIAK%20MTBI%20Resource%20Journal.pdf
Included
in
this
proposal
is
how
this
publication
would
be
concepted,
managed,
created,
printed
and
distributed.
3. OVERALL
GENERAL
TEMPLATE:
Using
the
BIAK
Kentucky
MTBI
Resource
Journal
as
a
guide,
generic
information
regarding
MTBI
would
occupy
more
than
70%
of
the
content
within
the
journal.
These
generic
stories,
facts,
best
practices,
etc.
would
be
provided
in
the
individual
state
and
territory
template.
Each
state
and
territory
would
be
responsible
for
providing
an
introduction
from
their
Adjutant
General,
a
story
with
pictures,
a
resource/contact
page,
and
an
ample
amount
of
pictures
of
state/territory
specific
Guardmembers
to
be
used
throughout
the
periodical.
HOW
TO
MANAGE:
We
recommend
that
content
for
this
publication
be
gathered
and
submitted
by
each
state/territory
Public
Affairs
Office.
Stories,
pictures,
resource
numbers,
etc.
would
be
sent
by
each
PAO
to
Kentucky’s
PAO
office
for
journal
integration.
CREATION:
Using
a
universal
template
similar
to
the
BIAK
Kentucky
MTBI
Resource
Journal,
the
Kentucky
National
Guard
Public
Affairs
Office
would
integrate
each
state
and
territories
content
into
a
journal
specific
to
their
state
and
territory.
DISSEMINATION/FULFILLMENT:
Journals
would
be
drop-‐shipped
to
each
state
and
territory’s
NG
Public
Affairs
Office.
Each
state/territory
PAO
would
be
responsible
for
distributing
the
journals
from
their
offices.
