More than words can say
Music speaks to us like no other media, communicating volumes in just a few notes. Last week in a class I'm taking on law enforcement issues, we all giggled when the instructor's cell phone began ringing "The Imperial March" (Darth Vader's Theme) from "Star Wars." And a friend on Twitter today summed up her thanks for a job well done with this BlipFM Props to the cops for making a speedy arrest in the carjacking of an 84-year-old man. Says it all.

Tell more about your class! Why are you taking it and where? Is it for a degree program, or just for interest?
It's the Citizen's Police Academy, sponsored by the Wichita Police Dept. and the Sedgwick Sheriff's Office. Open to residents who can pass a background check, basically!
It's not for credit, but educational. Some folks take it while waiting to get into the "real" law enforcement academy, others are Crime Watch block captains or related to LEOs. I've had a lifelong connection to the WPD (my dad was a cop and I covered crime my last few years at the newspaper). This is the first time I've been able to fit the 13-week course into my schedule.
