Siegfried Woelki
Missing since October 4, 1982 from Hackettstown, Warren County, New Jersey.
Classification: Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Mr. Woelki was last see at a Krauser's food store in Hackettstown on October 4, 1982, at 17.50. He spoke with a friend employed there and stated that he had some business to attend to and would be back at his apartment in a few hours.
Between 20.00 and 21:00 he spoke to his father on the telephone. During the conversation, he mentioned he was calling from the North Jersey Packing House, located in Long Valley, where he was employed as a part-time butcher. He asked his father to meet him there at 18.00 the following evening to help him wrap some meet.
On October 5 at approximate 17.15, the owner of the business arrived and noticed Mr. Woelki's vehicle parked in the lot. The car was unlocked, and the driver's window was half way down. He noticed the glove compartment door was open, and he knew that was where Mr. Woelki kept the keys for the Packing House. He checked the building and found it locked securely with the burglar alarm set. Neither the vehicle keys or the Packing House keys were ever found.
The police were called and conducted an investigation which revealed no sign of a struggle in or around the vehicle or in the Packing House. An extensive search of both the business property and grounds, and Mr. Woelki's apartment did not reveal any solid evidence or clues to his whereabouts. The investigation continued and interviews were conducted in the weeks and months ahead.
Woelki lived with his girlfriend in an apartment in Towpath Apartments in Hackettstown. He used to be a wrestler in college.

RENO, Nev. - In a game that saw 12 pitchers, including eight from Nevada, the Wolf Pack fell 5-4 to San Francisco State Wednesday at Peccole Park.
The loss dropped Nevada to 7-5, while San Francisco State improved to 9-8 (7-5 CCAA). The Gators scored three unearned runs in the top of the first inning and did not trail at any point in the game. Nevada scored once in the first, but saw its best chances to score come later in the game.
The Pack pushed two runs across on four hits in the fifth, including a Jamison Rowe single through the left side. Rowe finished the game with two hits and two RBI after entering as a defensive substitution for Jay Anderson. Anderson started the game in center field and walked in the first inning. He has now reached base safely in all of Nevada's games this season.
Brett Jones was 1-4 with an RBI, pushing his total to seven. Ryan Teel also drove in a run and had two hits. Wednesday was his third consecutive start behind the plate. His two-hit performance raised his season average to .308. Jones continues to lead Nevada in batting average at .408.
Three total errors for Nevada allowed three of San Francisco State's runs to score unearned. Daniel Levine took the loss for Nevada, going one inning, giving up two hits and three unearned runs. He fell to 0-2 with the defeat.
San Francisco State starter Jeff Clegg earned his first win of the season, going five innings and surrendering two earned runs with two strikeouts. Anderson drew Nevada's only walk off Clegg. Peter Reyes saved his first game for the Gators.
As a staff, Nevada struck out nine San Francisco State hitters. Cameron Brooks got his first start of the season Wednesday. He played left field and hit second in the Pack lineup, collecting a double for Nevada's only extra-base hit.
Nevada will return to action Friday against UC Santa Barbara at Peccole Park. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.

That One Time I Videobombed Perez Hilton At The MTV Movie Awards

Lots of photos and videos from yesterday's MTV Movie Awards red carpet are on the way later tonight, but in the mean time...enjoy me being really good at being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Oops.

P.S. Scroll further down for a special treat. I dug into the archives and unearthed my very first video bomb back in the day.

Oh yes...as promised: one of my very first video-bombs back from when I worked Boise, Idaho.

UPDATE: Now that I re-watched the video below, I realized that I'm wearing the ALMOST the exact same outfit in the video below as yesterday at the MTV Movie Awards. Isn't that a no-no? Oops.

The Natural Environment White Paper represents the most important shift in conservation policy in the United Kingdom for over 20 years. It formalizes the ecosystem services approach within policy objectives and emphasizes the economic value of ecosystem services. The ecosystem services approach embodies different meanings to different groups, each suggesting distinct governance paradigms and management tools. While conservationists' support for the ecosystem services approach may stem from arguments for integrated and holistic management of natural systems, valuation efforts seek to apply economic tools to complex ecosystem processes as a means of increasing the policy salience of ecosystem services for management. Does this coupling make for strange bedfellows? We apply the Advocacy Coalition Framework to examine the alignment of the values and beliefs of key United Kingdom actors. Understanding core and peripheral values may help actors anticipate where cooperation and conflict arise, and the potential longevity of policy partnerships.
There is widespread consensus among scientists that ecosystems are under tremendous pressure from human activities [
Informal interviews with conservation practitioners and agency officials in the United Kingdom (UK) suggested that their current perception of the ES approach to environmental management incorporates two distinct aspects. The first consists of a scientific systems paradigm for understanding and managing the natural world. It entails system-orientated mental constructs for environmental managers and decision-makers [
The second aspect is the conceptualization of natural capital stocks providing flows of economically valuable ES to humans [
The distinct emphases of the two approaches to environmental management may appeal more or less to individuals and interest groups who hold different values. While the holistic aspect of EBM may be broadly embraced by conservationists, the quantification of ES has been criticized for "crowding out" traditional conservation interventions [
In the UK, the ES approach has been adopted enthusiastically by the central government. The Natural Environment White Paper (2011) (the "White Paper") [
Why have UK policy-makers so readily adopted the ES approach and is this support sustainable over the long-term? Policy-makers in the UK seem, in fact, to have adopted the ES approach faster than the scientific community could provide the ecological and economic support for new policies. For example, ecologists face challenges in quantifying links between ecological structure, function, and ES of interest to policy-makers [
Is the dual focus on ecological systems and valuation of ES sufficient to ensure effective environmental protection? Will different actors in the policy process engage and coordinate given potentially divergent core beliefs that emphasize different aspects of the ES approach? If beliefs diverge, will weaker agreement on short-term policy and implementation issues remain? We suggest that sustainable long-term collaboration needed to successfully implement the ES approach requires an alignment of underlying motivations among policy actors. If, instead, the groups are ill-matched, they will make "strange bedfellows" [
The Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) was developed to analyze policy implementation and change by studying how policy actors can be aggregated into advocacy coalitions bound by shared motivations and beliefs [
We extend the strange bedfellows metaphor to examine varying degrees of convergence at the three levels of beliefs. In the long-term, sustainable policy partnerships overlap or converge on deep core, policy core, and implementation-oriented secondary beliefs (
Understanding the strength of motivating beliefs as the basis of collaboration between coalitions can, we believe, be used to anticipate the sustainability of the ES approach. For example, institutional innovations to protect ecological networks at the landscape and national scale are likely to require long-term, and expensive, commitment by policy partners in order to effectively address diverse stakeholder concerns, legal issues, negotiations, public communications, and policy implementation. In the UK, pilot Local Nature Partnerships and Nature Improvement Areas are based on the assumption that durable partnerships between local government, environmental non-government organizations (ENGOs), and local stakeholders and landowners will emerge and can be informed by conservation scientists and mediated by central government agencies. These partnerships are unprecedented in the faith they put in local energy, commitments, and ownership.
As in any relationship, power issues may also come into play. Collaboration at the policy development phase may give way to the domination of one coalition at the implementation stage. It is our belief that in the ES approach this may be translated into policies that focus more on the valuation of ES, in line with central government core beliefs, than on the systems-oriented EBM orientation.
Three classes of "strange bedfellow" coalitions that vary in their overlap in values and interests.
The White Paper was preceded by extensive public consultation inviting written responses from interested parties. To assess the types of advocacy coalitions active during White Paper development, we conducted a content analysis and coded 36 consultation responses with NVivo 10 [
Consultation documents were coded with labels reflecting themes or concepts of interest (using Nvivo 10). Our analysis involved the development and application of codes both prior to, and deriving from, the data [

A coding observation was ascribed for each instance that an issue was mentioned within a paragraph. Quantitative data was subsequently divided by coalition membership to provide total numbers of coding observations for each issue per coalition.
Codes were divided into deep, policy and secondary belief levels for each coalition based on ideological closeness with pre-coding deep core issues (deep core), centrality to the substantive policy issue (policy core), and implementation practicalities (secondary) [
We represented overlapping coalition beliefs between conservation science and central government coalitions on a Venn diagram (area proportional to coding observation magnitude) at three levels of deep core, policy core, and secondary beliefs (
The number of coding observations shared by the groups submitting White Paper consultation comments is shown in
Shared beliefs between coalition pairs (size of each circle represents the number of shared beliefs for paired coalitions at each Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) belief level).
At the deep core level, there was complete divergence of beliefs between the conservation and central government (330 comments over 94 issues) groups (
Venn diagram of belief agreement between conservation science and central government coalitions (area proportional to number of coding observations).
The central government group commented on deep core issues centered on governance systems and societal goals. The importance of deliberative democracy and the New Public Management paradigm, which emphasizes efficient market-led delivery of public services, were important political issues. Neoclassical or neoliberal conceptions of society and the imperative for growth were important economic issues. Policy core beliefs converged more between groups, particularly on issue-specific topics like the ES approach and civil society engagement. Still, divergence existed over issues of market approaches to environmental management. Agreement at the level of secondary belief issues was much broader.
The relationship between other groups was also informative. The conservation science and ENGO pairing showed greatest agreement at the deep core levels. Landowners (289 comments over 114 issues) were isolated in many of their beliefs, tending to align with the central government or agencies when they did show agreement. The agency group acted as an important bridge between the conservation and central government coalitions (
Venn diagram of agency coalition bridging function (area proportional to number of coding observations).
There appeared to be convergence among various conservation policy actors at the policy core and secondary belief levels, including broad agreement that the ES approach was a positive progression in environmental management. The UK conservation science and central government policy coalition seems to have moved beyond a short-term policy fling; they seem to have moved in together, becoming medium-term issue cohabiters.
Convergence of beliefs at the policy core level does not itself guarantee the sustainability of long-term policy partnerships, as it may mask more fundamental disagreements in deep core beliefs. Sustainable policy partnerships can, however, be held together so long as both coalitions satisfy enough of their deep core motivations through the policy action. For conservation science and ENGOs, the White Paper advanced the protection of the natural world and was a progressive step in environmental management. For the central government, the White Paper achieved medium-term policy action objectives in the environmental sphere. The valuation of anthropocentric ecosystem service benefits also aligned well with central government deep core economic growth imperatives. The White Paper's focus on local knowledge and non-traditional governance regimes can also be made to fit with New Public Management preferences for regulatory reductions and economically efficient forms of governance [
One could argue that there is an element of "co-opting" of economic arguments by the conservation community as it seeks to gain political traction for the overall ecosystem approach. The aim, presumably, is to appeal to policy-maker deep core values such as a faith in free market solutions. In this way, the UK conservation science community seeks to assure policy partnership sustainability by adopting positions close to government's policy core despite holding divergent deep core beliefs. Can one side appease or both sides compromise to align values further, cementing a long-term policy relationship? That remains to be seen and will depend on a variety of pressures and drivers.
Conceptualizing the ES approach in a matrix that accounts for the scale of ecological and economic integration (
Paired grids showing gradations of the ecosystem approach under (
A variety of factors may affect where in this framework a specific regime, policy, project, or event best fit. It is useful to consider pressures that may change support for various environmental management approaches (
There is now substantial international policy pressure to move from the EBM to ES realm to create economic policy relevance for growth-oriented governments. For example, the EU Natura 2000 network of protected sites, a key EBM-oriented initiative of the Habitats Directive [
Counter pressures may also be important. Issues of social and environmental justice [
Budgetary pressures may constrain integrated studies when long-term or highly transdisciplinary research is needed, effectively putting pressure towards the EI realm. The drive towards decentralization and devolution of governance can also lead to pressure to simplify ecological analyses at a local or regional level. In the UK, the effect of devolution of governance to local levels may be mitigated by Local Nature Partnerships and Nature Improvement Areas, which promote ecosystem-targeted practices like wildlife corridors, stepping-stones, and "landscape-scale' landowner-ENGO partnership management [
Another important driver of changes in environmental management orientation is litigation. While the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) legislation precludes economic concerns from explicitly influencing listing decisions, the risk of private sector litigation arising from ESA restrictions on property owners means that economic concerns may exert pressure toward the EI realm. The government may be concerned with litigation risks arising from direct financial impacts, business, or jobs, as well as opportunity costs to the private sector. Conversely, it is also possible that ENGO litigation puts the opposite pressure on governments, creating pressure to manage at higher levels of ecosystem integration [
Should national policies aspire to the ES approach, giving weight to ecosystem-oriented ecological analyses in combination with high levels of economic integration? Given the variety of ecological, economic, social, and governance factors influencing environmental management, there is no simple answer as to whether the ES approach should be more or less preferred than other management approaches. Co-habitation between regulators and conservation scientists along the UK line may be desirable but this requires understanding policy values at different levels and the possible effect of short- and long-term drivers of those values. We should expect that the slow evolution of core values in society and the quicker evolution of policy core values for various policy actors will influence the stability of existing and newly developing policy partnerships.
While ES-oriented management may be "logical' in some countries and political contexts, it is also possible to foresee a future, especially as societies continue to push beyond planetary boundaries on multiple fronts [

Dear Parents,
Thank you for a wonderful six years at Neponset. This campus has been a place of love, joy, hope and fun! I will miss all our families, teachers and the beautiful faces I greet each morning. One of my favorite musicals, Les Miserable, says it best, "to love someone is to see the face of God." I saw God's face and felt his love each day in your children.

text: Airborne transmission of infectious agents within indoor environments has been a recognized hazard for decades. Engineering controls such as ventilation and negative pressure have been helpful for control of airborne infectious agents in high-risk settings such as hospital isolation rooms. Increasing costs associated with providing ventilation has prompted renewed interest in other means to remove airborne infectious agents from room air, such as the application of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). One application of UVGI is to irradiate the air in the upper part of a room while minimizing radiation exposure to persons in the lower part of the room. Another application is to irradiate the air moving through ventilation ductwork. The aim of our research program, funded by grants from the CDC and Gilbert Foundation, is to systematically investigate the conditions under which UVGI can be expected to mitigate the spread of infectious agents. Results from detailed experiments conducted during the last 7 years will be discussed. In summary, upper-room UVGI is very effective at inactivating most species of airborne bacteria, but not fungi, at the levels provided to our test room. UVGI installed in ventilation ductwork can effectively inactivate both airborne bacteria and fungi at moderate air velocities, but not at high velocities due to reduced residence times.

ALBANY -- North Hall senior track and field star Morgan VanGorder placed fifth in the GHSA Class AAA girls' 800-meter dash state final Saturday at Hugh Mills Stadium.
VanGorder, who holds the school record in the 800 with a time of 2:22.96, bested that time after clocking in at 2:21.001 Saturday, less than four seconds behind state champion Ann Centner of Oconee County.
In her first year as a Lady Trojans' track and field runner, VanGorder had her sights set on a higher finish but was pleased with the overall results.
"I'm excited," she said. "I was hoping to do a little bit better, but being one of the top five (runners in Class AAA) in the state is definitely a huge accomplishment for me."
VanGorder found herself in second place after the first 400 meters of Saturday's title run and then shot out to first after the turn.
"There really wasn't a strategy at that point," said VanGorder, who has a partial scholarship to run at the University of Georgia after graduating from North Hall. "It was probably a little faster than I should have gone, (but) it was just an adrenaline rush. I was just fighting to pick it up a little bit and finish (strong)."
After leading the pack of eight runners for a short time, VanGorder slipped to fifth down the final stretch as a steady shower of rain hit the track, although she said the constant drizzle didn't affect her finish.
VanGorder, the daughter of Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder, transferred from Statesboro High to North Hall over the summer and trained to eventually compete in the state finals each day beginning in January.
"It's took a lot of training and time, but it pays off in the end," she said.
... In other girls' state meet events involving athletes from the area, Commerce's Vanessa Chandler finished third in the Class A 400-meter dash (1:00.750). Chandler was also part of a 1600-meter relay team that finished third (4:16.746) along with Amber Bell, Jasmine Grier, Brittany Sewell, Kaylin Canup and Terra Hancock.Commerce's 400-meter relay team of Grier, Canup, Chandler, Sewell and Hancock came in fifth at the state meet (50.781). Sewell also placed sixth in the Class A 100-meter dash with a time of 12.691. Ellie Hardigree of Commerce placed third in the Class A discuss throw (109'1). Commerce finished seventh overall in Class A.
Jefferson's Marcayla Hester placed sixth (1:01.220) in the Class A 400-meter dash and fifth in the triple jump (33"10.5). Brianna Caudell of Jefferson was sixth in the discuss with a throw of 96'8. Erin Knight placed fifth in the 800-meter run (2:29:177). Kaylee Lopez also placed sixth in the 3200-meter run (12:31.69) for Jefferson.
Buford's Ashley Razey, a Southern Miss softball signee, won state titles in both the Class AA discuss (113'2) and shot put (40'5.5) events.
White County's Sara Walcott finished sixth in the 3200-meter run with a time of 12:02.560. West Hall's Kim Smigelski was sixth in the AAA girls' high jump (5'0).

I haven't written much about Avvo, a well-known purveyor of lawyer & client referrals and fora for questionable online legal advice. I've mentioned the terrible legal marketing advice on their blog, but it's Scott Greenfield who has long been owning the subject, discussing both Avvo's questionable referral services and their unreliable free-bad-advice free-for-all.
This weekend I got spam from Avvo illustrating their business model.
Greetings Kenneth,
If you're looking for new clients, Avvo's Legal Marketplace is where to find them. A prospective client just posted their traffic ticket case details and is ready to hire an attorney. Review the case details and, if interested, submit your proposal:
Case Details
"Lots of tickets because I can't pay my car's registration. They have given me one every day. Can't pay the registration until I pay the tickets! Have nowhere to get it off the street. Can I just take a car cover and cover it, or can they look under?"
Act Fast!
This case has been sent to: 95 attorneys in the Los Angeles area
This case closes on: July 03, 2013 at 03:07PM
There are two possibilities here. One is that someone at Avvo made a conscious decision to feature, as a prospective client to entice me to Avvo's referral service, someone whose problem is they can't afford to register their car. Under this scenario, someone at Avvo consciously (sort of) thinks I want to compete with 95 other attorneys for a client who has no money, on a matter that will not generate money by definition. Avvo's selection of this matter is supposed to impress me about their acumen and value.
The second possibility is that Avvo has set up some sort of auto-spam system that selects potential cases at random to include in solicitations, not recognizing that the random selection will generate "leads" like this one. Once again, I am supposed to be impressed with Avvo and decide to use them to get quality cases.
Who the blue fuck responds to something like this? Who would want to be associated with a business that thinks this is attractive or persuasive?
More importantly: who advises the folks who are posting about their potential cases on Avvo? This "case referral" is relatively benign. But it would be easy for someone talking about a case — criminal or civil — to reveal details that would be harmful to their interests. Do they understand that posting to Avvo is not privileged, and that what they post can be seen by hundreds or thousands, and emailed to more, and possibly used to their detriment?

Flushing's storied moviehouse is getting a long-awaited makeover.
The city Board of Standards & Appeals has granted final approval for a Manhattan developer to begin a $160 million redevelopment of the crumbling RKO Keith's Theatre in downtown Flushing.
The board ruled 5-0 Tuesday morning to approve developer Patrick Thompson's plans for a 17-floor, mixed-use residential building that will restore and maintain the beloved cinema's landmarked lobby.
"It's now been approved and we're moving forward and looking forward to creating what will be a great new centerpiece for Flushing and a continuation of the development along Main Street and bringing new development to the intersection of Northern [Boulevard] and Main," Michael Nussbaum, a spokesman for Thompson, said just after the vote Tuesday.
The vote brings to an end a long saga about the property deteriorating as developers bought and lost the theater over the years.
A 2005 redevelopment proposal by previous owner Shaya Boymelgreen which CB 7 approved fell through when Boymelgreen's finances faltered, and in May 2010 Thompson bought the note on the property from Doral Bank for $20 million. Boymelgreen had owned the theater since 2002.
In 1999, notorious Flushing developer Tommy Huang pleaded guilty to a felony charge for ignoring asbestos contamination and pouring hundreds of gallons of fuel oil into the theater's basement. He was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and sentenced to five years' probation.
Neither BSA Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan nor Executive Director Jeff Mulligan returned requests for comment Tuesday.
Construction on the project will be contingent on Thompson's ability to secure financing, which has been a tall task in the past year for other developers in Flushing, such as TDC Development, which is turning to Chinese lenders in search of hard-to-find financial backing for Flushing Commons, a $825 million mixed-use development project.
But Nussbaum said Thompson is prepared for work to begin on the project by the end of 2011.
"We're not going to discuss finances, but we're prepared to move forward with initial demolition before the end of this year," Nussbaum said. "Patrick is very, very confident that he is going to be able to carry through what he has promised to the community and to the city."
As for comment during the hearing, there was "none," according to Nussbaum, who characterized the session as "somewhat anticlimactic."
But Thompson is excited to begin the project at long last.
Community Board 7 Chairman Eugene Kelty voted against the project, saying it might have a negative effect on parking and traffic in the neighborhood, but he said Tuesday he was glad to see something move forward at the long-neglected site, at 137-25 Northern Blvd.
"We'll have to monitor to make sure that it doesn't have a major impact on the neighborhood as we do with all the other projects," Kelty said. "We wish them good luck."
Thompson plans to dedicate $8 million to fix the decadent lobby and create a two-story, green, undulating glass curtain to display the renovated interior to people walking by. The lobby would be the gateway to a tower with 357 residential units, a senior center, 385 parking spaces and more than 12,000 square feet of retail.

The newly minted optimism of global financial markets could be sorely tested this week when Germany's Constitutional Court releases its preliminary verdict on the legality of two of Europe's main crisis-fighting tools: the permanent bailout fund, and the fiscal pact.
Although Germany's Parliament ratified both measures at the end of June, German President Joachim Gauck has delayed signing them into law until the Karlsruhe-based court comes to a decision on the two contentious issues, which were subject to legal challenges from a huge range of disparate groups. These included the 'More Democracy' movement which collected 37,000 signatures and which enjoys the backing of Germany's Pirate Party as well as the country's powerful Taxpayers Association; eurosceptic politicians and academics, as well as the radical leftist Die Linke party.
Opponents argue that German politicians lack the constitutional right to approve the euro zone's new €700 billion ($864 billion) bailout fund, because it is allowed to borrow from "other institutions" and that these borrowings will saddle German taxpayers with massive financial liabilities, in violation of their democratic rights.
They also oppose the "fiscal pact" – which contains the "golden rule" forcing euro zone countries to balance budgets and which is especially dear to German Chancellor
The huge risk for financial markets is that eight Karlsruhe "wise men" may express sympathy for these arguments on Wednesday, when they announce their preliminary verdict on whether to impose a temporary injunction on the bailout fund and the fiscal pact.
Any threat to the euro zone's new bailout fund would trigger fresh panic on European bond markets as investors worried about Europe's ability to provide financial assistance for troubled economies such as Spain's and Italy's.
The fund can start when it gets the green light from countries accounting for 90 per cent of its capital commitments. Because Germany accounts for 27.1 per cent, Berlin's blessing is crucial. And if the fund doesn't start up, the euro zone's only firewall is the €150 billion left in its coffers of the temporary bailout fund – nowhere near enough to reassure investors.
Some believe that the Constitutional Court's two-month consideration of the case indicates it sees the plaintiff arguments as extremely serious. Morgan Stanley analysts argue that markets are not priced appropriately given the risk of a possible "no" verdict, which they say is as high as 40 per cent.
But others point out that the Karlsruhe court is obliged to take into account the consequences of its decisions, and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble left little doubt that the consequences of a "no" verdict would be dire. He told the court in July that any suggestion Germany wasn't prepared to shoulder responsibility for stemming the euro-zone crisis "could exacerbate current crisis symptoms considerably".
But even if the Karlsruhe court doesn't go as far as injuncting the bailout fund and the fiscal pact, its verdict still has the capacity to rattle markets. Many legal experts believe that the court will impose much tighter conditions on the operations of the bailout fund – for instance by requiring German lawmakers to approve the details of all future bailouts, which would make it harder to orchestrate them. Others believe the court will force Berlin to put a strict limit on its financial exposure to the fund, and to enshrine this cap in legislation. That would undermine the fund's ability to raise additional capital to combat a worsening crisis.
There is also a strong possibility that the court could force Berlin to hold a referendum on changing the German constitution before it agrees to transfer more sovereignty to Brussels. This would raise major doubts about Merkel's strategy for increased euro zone fiscal integration, because it's far from certain German voters, who are increasingly anxious about losing control over how their taxes are spent, would support such a change.

Partisanship may be a way of life in Washington, but there's nothing like winning baseball to bring together Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell.
The Senate Democratic and Republican leaders, respectively, are among the politicos featured in a Sports Illustrated story about the Washington Nationals and their ability to get major players of both parties to root for them.
For those outside of the Beltway or football fans, the Nats have the best record in the majors and are trying to nail down the National League East division. A post-season berth -- the team's first since 1933 -- is assured.
Members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, Cabinet secretaries and Vice President Biden have turned up at games this year. But the politicians aren't the only ones who are star-struck, according to our friend and former colleague Mel Antonen.
Pitcher Gio Gonzalez, a 21-game winner, apparently got tongue-tied when talking to CIA Director David Petraeus and Adm. Sandy Winnfield, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "I just didn't want to say something stupid and be an idiot around people that powerful," Gonzalez is quoted as saying.
Best anecdote, though, is about outfielder Jayson Werth meeting Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Werth had questions about QE3, the quantitative easing program aimed at stimulating the economy. But Bernanke wanted to talk about the finer points of the game, so Werth played along.
"When you play in Los Angeles, you meet movie stars," Werth, a former Dodger, told SI. "When you're playing in Washington, you meet people that run the world. That's pretty cool. But you have to win. These people weren't around last year when we weren't winning."

Team notes
AL Central
Chicago White Sox
Chris Singleton's strong second half might earn
him another White Sox season. He hit .388 in a 27-game span to hike his average
over .300. He's also the organization's best center fielder.
Singleton seemed destined to be replaced by last year's
shortstop, Jose Valentin, early in the season and later by rookie Aaron
Rowand, but Valentin was out of place in the outfield, and Rowand hurt his
right shoulder running into the fence in August.
Top 2000 draft choice Joe Borchard could challenge
for center field in spring training.
Mark Johnson and Josh Paul have combined
to hit about .250 with fewer than 50 RBI in Alomar's place.
Cleveland Indians
As champagne soaked Cleveland's clubhouse Sunday after
a 9-1 win against Minnesota that clinched the AL Central title, manager Charlie
Manuel toasted with a glass of cranberry juice.
Manuel was admitted to Cleveland Clinic on Sept. 25 for
a stomach infection. It's the third time this season he's been hospitalized
for stomach problems. He had surgery to remove scar tissue from his colon Aug.
"This one's for Charlie," said first baseman Jim Thome,
his shirt and cap drenched. "Charlie's our leader. We'll celebrate this one
without him, but hopefully he'll be here for a few more."
Manuel, 57, had three operations on his colon last year.
Bench coach Grady Little has managed the team in
his absence. Manuel has an option for next season, but the club has yet to exercise
Finley missed much of the season with two stays on the
disabled list with a disk problem in his neck. He joins Bartolo Colon
and rookie C.C. Sabathia in the rotation.
Branyan went 3-for-3 with a homer, two walks and two RBI
in the 11-7 victory against Toronto. The homer was his first since Aug. 5, and
the game marked the first time he'd driven in more than one run since July 4.
Branyan started again Saturday and went 3-for-5 with two
homers and a career-high six RBI.
Through Sunday he had 120 strikeouts in 294 at-bats.
Manuel has said the Indians must commit to Branyan as a
full-time player next year or trade him this winter.
Detroit Tigers
Steve Sparks took over the major league lead
by throwing his seventh complete game, a 7-2 win Saturday against Boston. It
raised Sparks' record to 13-9 on a team that has been far below .500 most of
the season.
The knuckleballer could become the first Tiger to lead
the AL in complete games since Jack Morris tied for the lead with 11 in 1990.
The last Tiger to top the majors in complete games was Frank Lary in 1961.
In spring training Fick was told he would not catch this
year, but then he was made the regular catcher early in the season. He struggled
defensively, however, and has not been used much lately behind the plate, because
Garner wants to give rookie Brandon Inge playing time. Fick's only previous
experience in right came during a spring training game and in a high school
all-star game.
Fick was the club's leading home run hitter entering the
final week with 19, but he had hit just two since July 24, and none since Sept.
Kansas City Royals
Owner David Glass repeatedly has said Tony Muser
would return as manager in 2002, but he began backing off last week. "I think
Tony has done a good job, but I also think this year has been a disaster," Glass
Glass added that "nothing has been decided" on whether
Muser will return.
General manager Allard Baird remains in Muser's
corner. "I think Tony is a good manager, and he's a manager who put the organization
above oneself," Baird said. "I think he's developed a lot of players. With that
being said, this is a results-oriented business, and we all have to perform."
Minnesota Twins
Owner Carl Pohlad said he's concerned
about how the economic impact of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will affect
the industry, including a possible delay in reaching a new collective bargaining
agreement and a possible end to the Twins' chances of getting a new stadium.
Thus, he said, he'll listen to offers to buy the club.
"I'm not going to put my family in jeopardy financially
by losing a lot of money in baseball," he said. "Without the prospect of a new
stadium in the future, we could lose $20 million-plus a year. You can't make
it anymore without revenue from parking, concessions and signage in the stadium."
Another uncertainty is Kelly's status. His contract ends
after the season. Pohlad has said it's Kelly's choice if he wants to return.
Mays has pitched a career-high 227 2/3
innings, the second most in the AL.
