Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, but with a market cap currently under $1 billion. The company took its current form in 2015 when co-CEOs Alex Rozek and Adam Peterson bought a controlling stake in a real estate business. They renamed the company Boston Omaha and broadened its mandate to buy companies or stakes in companies that generate durable streams of cash flow.
As of now, Boston Omaha owns a billboard business called Link Media, a surety insurance operation, majority stakes in two fiber and broadband businesses, plus many other small investments. The insurance subsidiary is what gets Boston Omaha compared to Berkshire Hathaway, as that has been the main engine propelling Warren Buffett s dominance over the last five decades. If Boston Omaha can start generating meaningful float from its surety insurance operation, this will give Rozek and Peterson a nice stream of investable dollars that they can deploy into other assets.

(Blanco) – Texas Lutheran senior Nathan Haley became the fourth Bulldog student-athlete to win a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference individual golf title when he captured medalist honors Tuesday at Vaaler Creek Golf Club.
Haley joined TLU Women’s Golf stand-out Summer Swift and former Bulldogs Adam Peterson and Colin Uecker as SCAC individual champions.
TLU has been in the SCAC since the 2014 SCAC Golf Championships. Peterson won the 2015 men’s title, and Swift won the women’s crown in 2018. Uecker took home his title in 2019.
Sometimes the mere presence of a weapon can escalate the situation.

Breaking the schoolyard-to-jail-yard link
Weber has spent time researching the effectiveness of school resource officers. She has been told having an armed officer in a school protects students in the case of a live shooter. Research, however, doesn’t support the conclusion these officers are effectively stopping school shootings, she said.
University of Maryland researchers found, in a nationwide survey of 270 high school and middle school principals from 2003 to 2008, that schools with resource officers reported more serious crimes, more minor crimes and higher rates for student expulsions than schools without that officer presence.
