Three Cheers for Velma!

Velma is too modest to share the good news herself, so I'll do it for her:

First came news that she has received a big-ass NIJ grant to study the efficacy of sex offender registration restrictions. Woo hoo! This is exciting news, indeed.

Then, as if that's not cool enough, some of the gun violence research she has conducted has received local media attention...including being picked up by Ted Gest's CJ news archive! Seriously, see for yourself here.

Pretty amazing, eh? To celebrate these accomplishments, please join me in offering Velma a congratulatory cheer:

V! (clap, clap, clap)
V-E! (clap, clap, clap)
V-E-L! (clap, clap)
V-E-L-M-A! (hey!)

P.S. While we're handing out kudos, Patch & Pap deserve some, too: their book is now officially on shelves! Woo hoo!

You rule Velma. Remember the little people when you are trying to figure out how to spend all that NIJ cash...do you need a personal assistant?
