WASHINGTON, D. C. – For the last two seasons, the Diamondbacks only reached the .500 level and fortunes, and the future, appeared at a standstill.
General manger Kevin Towers, Ken Kendrick, the team's managing general partner, Derrick Hall, the club's CEO, field manager Kirk Gibson and other luminaries, all predicted a comeback from the insignificant past and rewards ahead.
All the while Matt Williams, Gibson's third base coach and one with managerial aspirations, began to explore options and attempt to thrust his career forward.
The timing of his aspirations and the current decline in Diamondbacks fate, Williams concedes, was not a formula for his departure last winter and eventual ascendancy to mange the Washington Nationals.
Though he lacked previous manager experience at the major league level, Williams' reputation as a major contributor to the game help catapult his managerial objective. As manager of Salt River in the Arizona Fall League in 2012, Williams took the Rafters to the championship game and quickly interviewed, before last season, to manage the Colorado Rockies.
When Walt Weiss was selected for the Colorado job, Williams repaired back to the third base coaching box for Gibson, and waited.
Fast forward one year later and long-time major league manager Davey Johnson announced his retirement as skipper of the Washington Nationals. Again, Williams became a prominent name and this time, he connected.
Named as Washington's fifth manager since the franchise relocated from Montreal, Williams says the Diamondbacks' bleak outlook for the 2014 season, and previous two .500 seasons, did not influence his desire to seek career options.
"I didn't sense a transition," Williams said Monday prior to the Nationals' game with Colorado at Nationals Park. "In all direction, (Kendrick, Hall, Towers and others) gave me their full support to furthering a career. Nothing but great support."
The timing would seem genuine for Williams to move up the baseball ladder.
As a participant on 11 championship teams in his 17 year major league career, Williams also played on three teams which went to the World Series, including the 2001 championship team with the Diamondbacks.
At age 48, Williams appeared to have served his apprenticeship well and ready to take the next step. The timing of his career elevation and the Diamondbacks current period of decline seemed to have crossed in time.
By all accounts, Williams is taking the physical skills honed as player and time coaching into an amalgam of accomplishment.
Coming into play Monday night against the Rockies, Williams had his Nationals just one-half game behind first-place Atlanta in National League East.
"(Williams) knows the game well and understands what players go through," said Nats' outfielder Nate McLouth, for whom Williams is his fifth major league manager. "He's been through this. Look, everyone has success and everyone struggles at some point in their careers. What's good about (Williams) is that he understands from our perspective."
For his part, Williams is settling into the task at hand. With the second half about to embark, Williams, a native of Bishop, Calif. but grew up in Carson, Nev. approaches the period ahead from an offensive perspective.
"For us to stay in the race, we need to put offensive pressure on the opposition," he said. "That's the key and that's where we want to go. There's no reason why we can't do that and then, we'll have a shot to compete in the division."
As well, the Nationals need to address Williams' approach. To that end, Williams is quick to point a principal priority for his club.
"If we are able to put that pressure on the opponent each night, we also have to put together good-bats ourselves," he indicated. "Then, we have a chance to win every night."
Translated, that combination would likely serve Washington well, or any contender, with the second half about to commence.
Rockies' third baseman Ryan Wheeler, currently filling in for Nolan Arenado, and whom Colorado acquired from the Diamondbacks for reliever Matt Reynolds during the 2012-13 off-season, has settled well into manager Walt Weiss' plans.
Waiting for Arenado to return from time on the disabled list from a broken finger on his right hand, Wheeler hammered his first career grand-slam last Thursday night against Brewers' righty Wily Peralta. The four RBIs in the game was a career high and Wheeler was in the line-up Monday night against Nats' right-hander Jordan Zimmerman.
Coming into Monday's game, Wheeler was hitting .273 with two bombs and 12 RBIs.

Whether you are into sports or not, most people can at least connect to the American pastime for the social aspect. While watching a game on the big screen is always fun, nothing quite compares to being at your favorite baseball park and watching one live. This year, we are thrilled to announce the addition of three iconic baseball stadiums to our MLB Collection: Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium.
Home of the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees — yes, we understand how unusual it is to have all three of those in one sentence — these parks are fields where dreams were made, world series were won and fans got lost in the excitement of rooting for the home team. All three bangles are available in Russian Gold and Russian Silver in Alex and Ani stores and online at www.alexandani.com for $32.
About the parks:
Wrigley Field: Opened in 1914, and originally named Weeghman Park, Wrigley Field is the home of the Chicago Cubs. Nicknamed the "Friendly Confines," Wrigley is the oldest Federal League baseball stadium still standing and one of the smallest ballparks in the Major League. Known for its iconic ivy-covered outfield walls, Wrigley Field is a fierce defender of tradition as it still uses manual scoreboards and raises colored flags to announce a previous game win or loss.
Fenway Park: The home of the Red Sox since 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest Major League ballpark still in use. Built in Boston on marshland known as "the Fens," this richly traditional stadium remains true to its classic park construction. An icon of talent and pride, Fenway Park is a testament to generations of fans that come to celebrate Red Sox Nation and experience the Green Monster.
Yankee Stadium: The new Yankee Stadium honors the proud traditions of the original stadium, which held its inaugural game in April of 1923, and was the first structure to be called a "stadium." A place where memories are made and passed down through generations, Yankee Stadium has been an institution of excellence for nearly a century. To the fans of the New York Yankees, this stadium is the home of champions and the heart of baseball that beats with a fierce pride for the love of the game.

What's not to love, one wonders. Witnessing the Eagles of Death Metal live is to encounter an embodiment of all that made early rock & roll so wonderful. There's a simple beat, you can sing along to it, and the singer is bizarrely charismatic. Jesse (a.k.a. Jesse "The Devil" Hughes, but calling him "Hughes" would be like calling Ozzy "Osbourne") is a rock star as imagined by John Waters: greased-back hair, glasses, what he calls a "soft wonderful boomerang of love" mustache, gloves, tattoos, tight jeans, a Fender Telecaster and (sometimes) a rayon cape, delivering up the best Chuck Berry/Little Richard/Canned Heat-inspired rock & roll to leak out of America in some time. Eagles of Death Metal owes its unlikely existence (and profile) to its drummer: Josh Homme, an old high school friend moonlighting from his day job as leader of marijuana-rock powerhouses Queens of the Stone Age. But it's Jesse who writes—and sings—the songs about midnight creepers and speaking in tongues, about voodoo dances and kissing the devil's tongue and wanting to be your monkey.
OC Weekly: What does the name mean?
Jesse Hughes: There's a lot of conjecture about that, but basically Josh and I and some friends were at the Beerhunter out in Palm Desert years ago, and they were playing Poison, but it wasn't just any Poison song, I think it was "Every Rose Has a Thorn," the softest and most wussy of their tunes, and this nitwit in the midst of a drunken gleeful moment was dancing around the bar going, "Dude, this is fuckin' metal, man." And Josh or someone responded, "This isn't metal." He goes, "Dude, this is! This is fuckin' death metal, man." And I said, "This is the Eagles of death metal." Cut to two hours of smoke and haze later, and we were in the back of our friends' VW, discussing what would the Eagles of death metal sound like. Josh came over the next day, and he got on my drum kit and configured it in a very bizarre manner and started doing a Zombies/Turtles beat, I laid a Piedmont/hillbilly guitar line on it, and he goes, that's Eagles of Death Metal. And I said, Yessir. And he commanded me to become brilliant and to become the entity that I am.
But you didn't make a record for years . . .
The band stayed alive because people asked Josh about it for years. The whole time he's been asking me to make records, and I'm like, "With you?" I had been married and pursuing a more conservative lifestyle. And a much heavier lifestyle. I was 199 pounds. Now I weigh 148. I've literally been transformed by destiny and by the call to be the most amazing mustache in the history of rock & roll.
You're really into your mustache.
I've always carried the mark of the mustache. It's always been inside. It's been a Cosmo layout waiting to happen, '78, Burt Reynolds, you know what I'm saying. A mustache is a kind of tongue-in-cheek way to say, "It's fun to be a dude—it's even better to be a man." And women are much happier when I rock it real.
Have you always had one?
I think I'd grown it out some, and somebody goes, "Dude, Freddie Mercury." And I thought, Oh, okay, fine, it'll be really Freddie Mercury—and I'll fuck your girlfriend.
What's the cape all about?

That's the Avenger of Rock & Roll. He showed up around the third day of our tour with Placebo, when I could see the joy in the faces of all the people that were showing up, of having rock & roll returned to them, and by having the uncomfortable cliquish conformity of "You can't listen to the Clash unless you've been into them since '81" attitude lifted from their shoulders. And miraculously, I think it was supernatural, when I turned to look at myself in the mirror yet again, I saw that I had a cape on that said "Rock & Roll." As if the spirits of rock & roll anointed me at that very moment, on that third day, and I did rise and don my black leather gloves and the gauntlet of rock & roll, and goddamnit, I could boogie.
That you can.
Our motto is "Make Little Richard Proud." See, it's not just the music you play, it's the attitude you represent. Cuz you have to approach rock & roll like you're a medium. Robert Fripp said something to the effect that you're calling on whatever that entity of music is to wrap its cape around you and take you into its confidence, and those are the moments that inform your pride. Well, rock & roll gave me the fuckin' cape itself!And has sent me to wrap it around everybody.

U.S. Women's Open champion Cristie Kerr will defend her title at this week's CN Canadian Women's Open at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton, Alberta.
She and 155 other players from the LPGA Tour and the Canadian Tour will compete for the $337,500 winner's check. Kerr's 2006 win was her second of three titles that season, in which she surpassed $1 million in earnings for the third consecutive year.
It was a remarkable performance. Kerr overcame an eight stroke deficit in the final round to defeat Angela Stanford by one. It was Stanford's second runner-up finish to Kerr that season. She'll also be competing in Canada this weekend and, if her record this year is any indication, she'll likely be in contention. Stanford has nine top-10 finishes in 17 events.
The field this week also includes world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa, who's fresh off her first major victory at the Women's British Open at St. Andrews, Brittany Lincicome and Michelle Wie, who will be competing in her first professional event in Canada and has been struggling all season with a wrist injury.
Her wrist is "a lot better," Wie said in a pre-tournament interview. "It's almost pain free, but obviously when I hit a bad shot or when it's really cold, it stings a little bit. It's still a little weaker than I want it to be, but it's definitely on the right road to recovery."
A strong performance this week would put Kerr past $1 million in season earnings with 11 events remaining, including the ADT Championship, which carries a $1 million winner's purse. Kerr qualified for the event by winning the 2007 U.S. Women's Open. This week's winner will also get a spot in the ADT Championship.
The CN Canadian Women's Open is the only LPGA Tour event in Canada.
August 15, 2007
Anyone looking back at the final scores of the 2009 Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Anne's will almost certainly come to the wrong conclusion that this was a comfortable three-shot win for Catriona Matthew. It was anything but as the seemingly imperturbable Scot struggled to hit a fairway throughout the final round and was only rescued by some superb recovery shots and a bunch of astonishing long putts.

On the 15th December 2011 a small advertisement went up on the Diamond Valley Basketball Association website asking for expressions of interest in a proposed USA basketball tour in December 2012. A meeting was organised by under 18 boy's Junior Championship coach Dave Jamieson in late January with around 100 people attending.
As often happens, there is generally great excitement at the start but these things tend to die out. Not so on this occasion with Dave Jamieson relentlessly driving the organising and making it all happen.
Here we are now, just 7 days short of a full year's planning, a trivia night, several sausage sizzles, uniform sizing and hundreds of other things that needed to be organised, this Saturday morning at 11.20am, 3 teams, 32 players, 5 coaches and 21 parents and sibblings will be taking off for Raleigh in North Carolina on the east coast of the USA to play games against local high schools.
The excitement last Monday night at the final training where the team photos were taken was apparent with players, coaches and parents alike counting down the hours until takeoff.
"It's been a long road to get to where we are now, just a couple of days short from actually leaving. The group's been great with a massive amount of fundraising allowing us to get some extra kit for the kids and some spending money for some extras while we are away" David said. "The kids will get the opportunity of a life time, playing games in the USA, being home hosted a number of times by USA families and going into local schools. And if that isn't enough, we're going to college games, an NFL game and a couple of NBA games. It's been a lot of work by a lot of people and will be a trip these kids will remember for the rest of their lives".
If you want to follow the trip, you can do so on Facebook, Eagles 2012 USA Basketball Trip, where we will post details of our travels and photos from games.
Comment Guidelines: The SportsTG Network is made up of players, families and passionate sports followers like you who have a strong opinion about sport. That's great - we want you to have your say and share your thoughts with the world. However, we have a few rules that you must follow to keep it fun for all.

"I've found the prettiest place in Iowa, and here I'll live and lay my bones." - Henry Anson, 1851
Nine years after the Sac and Fox tribes signed a treaty with the U.S. government opening up the rich and fertile soil of what is now Marshall County, Henry Anson decided to build a town on the divide between Linn Creek and the Iowa River. It was the summer of 1851. Anson called his settlement Marshall and built a cabin on what is now Main Street. The name was changed to Marshalltown in 1862.
A visionary with great dreams for his town, Anson hoped Marshalltown would become the capital city of Iowa because of its central location. Marshalltown grew during the decade before the Civil War, and, by the mid 1850s, Anson had donated land for a county courthouse. Citizens raised money for the courthouse, and, after a struggle to secure the title of county seat from the village of Marietta, Marshalltown became the official county seat in 1863.
A Potawatomi chief named Johnny Green (Che Muese) helped early settlers get established in the wilderness in and around Henry Anson's young town. When Green died in 1868, he was buried on a high bluff overlooking the Des Moines River by members of his tribe and the grateful citizens of Marshalltown. Today, a large monument stands on the grounds of the Iowa Veterans Home in tribute to the Native American leader. The years following Green's death were building years for the fledgling town; the railroad finally reached the settlement from the east, bringing with it a host of light industries. As America entered the Industrial Revolution, Marshalltown went from a post-war prairie settlement to a boomtown.
By the dawn of the 20th century, Marshalltown was an established city of more than 10,000 residents and the home to many industries that developed into major national and international companies, such as Fisher Controls, Lennox Industries and Marshalltown Trowel (now the Marshalltown Company). Henry Anson didn't live to see his town become a bustling city, but his presence is still felt in Marshalltown, now home to 26,000 residents. Anson Park, Anson Middle School and Anson Street are all named in his honor.
Henry Anson's son, Adrian "Cap" Anson, led the Anson baseball team in Marshalltown for years before turning to professional baseball in 1872, when he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics. He later became captain of the Chicago White Stockings. Cap was a leading hitter in the National League and set a record by playing big league baseball for 27 years. He was immortalized in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and was the first Iowan named to the state's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Billy Sunday also played baseball for the Marshalltown Ansons and went on to the major leagues. After a few years in the majors, Sunday "found religion" and quit baseball. He toured the nation and shook up the citizens of Marshalltown with his fiery oratory before earning national fame as America's leading evangelist.
Today, Marshalltown's past lives on through museums, historical attractions and other celebrations of local history. The Marshall County Historical Museum features a permanent geological exhibit displaying a collection of LeGrand fossil crinoids. Special exhibits feature famous Marshalltown residents, such as actress Jean Seberg, Cap Anson and T. Nelson Downs (1867Ð1938), a magician whose mastery of intricate coin manipulations earned him a place in the magic world's Hall of Fame.
The Glick-Sower House offers a rare showcase of family life from over a century ago. Built in 1859, the house and its furnishings are considered one of the best examples of a Civil War-era home west of New York. The house remained in the Sower family until the mid 1950s and now stands in downtown Marshalltown as a lasting tribute to all Iowa pioneer families.
Located on the square in the heart of Marshalltown, the Marshall County Courthouse is an historical treasure, visible for miles. Designed by the same architect who conceived the Iowa State Capitol Building, the courthouse was constructed during the years between 1884 and 1886. The building has retained its original exterior, while restoration of the interior featured renovation of the courtroom, law library and the grand stairway with wrought-iron decorations.
Constructed in 1929 and dedicated to those who served in all wars, Marshalltown Veterans Memorial Coliseum showcases a recently restored mural, painted in 1958, that depicts a century of Marshalltown history. The coliseum features two areas that may be rented for a variety of functions: The Blue Room, a small, carpeted room with a stage, and the Gymnasium.
Our history provides a solid foundation upon which our community builds today and plans a bright future. MarshalltownÕs cultural amenities rival any small city in Iowa and the region. Opened in 1958, Fisher Community Center was the vision of J.W. "Bill" Fisher, who recognized the importance of an enhanced quality of life. The facility is home to the community theater, outstanding works of art and many local clubs and organizations. Added in 1969, Martha Ellen Tye Community Playhouse seats 450 people for stage productions. The art gallery addition, built in 1988, features Impressionist and post-Impressionist works by artists including Matisse, Degas and Cassat. The center welcomes traveling exhibits by renowned artists and introduces the community to the talents of local artists.
Sculptor Christian Petersen was commissioned to create a statue representing the ideals of the Community Center. Unveiled in 1961, Petersen's final work, "Dedication to the Future," is a statue of a man holding a child up above a reflecting pond, symbolizing the theme, "We lift up our young to see beyond that which we can see."
Art and theater are only part of the cultural offering. The Marshalltown High School/Community Auditorium was built completely with private funds. Add in the variety of community concert series; community band, dance and art classes for all ages; and vocal music from choir to the Sweet Adelines, and you get a sense of what it is like to live in Marshalltown. Together, we continue to write the exciting story of Marshalltown. You, too, can be a part of it!

text: Just over 5 weeks ago my girlfriends dad was unfortunately killed in a bike accident involving another car. Me and my girlfriend were witnesses to this accident on my bike. We believe neither the car driver or her dad was at fault. Since the accident quite understandably she does not want me to ride again, the problem is that I miss riding and I know her dad would not want me to stop. We have spoke about it recently and she knows I need to get back to biking, I guess she is afraid something may happen to me. I'm not afraid or nervous of getting back on the bike. Is there anyone who has been through something similar that could maybe give me some advice.

The Oasis Digital Hygrometer will help keep your guitar or any stringed instrument cracking or warping by accurately measuring relative humidity, helping you decide when to protect your instrument with the Oasis Guitar Humidifier. Because relative humidity varies so much, even inside your home, we recommend that you keep your hygrometer close to your instrument.
To get an accurate humidity reading for the guitar body, we recommend that you first lay the guitar case with the back to the floor and open the cover. Take a small piece of cloth, and place it under the hygrometer to avoid scratching the top of your guitar. Put the hygrometer on the guitar top with the sensor at the edge of the sound hole. Close the case, and allow 4-6 hours for the humidity to stabilize. Open the case and look at the reading within a few seconds, and you get the humidity reading that existed just before you opened the case.
Oasis Digital Hygrometer Features:

Washington United for Marriage's Capitol Hill action center is bustling with volunteers preparing to canvas King County to get likely voters out to Approve Referendum 74. It's also packed with food. So. Much. Food.
Granola bars, Top Pot Doughnuts, fruit, cupcakes, water, tea, juice, coffee... It's all there for the taking as volunteers whisk in and out between three-hour-long shifts of phone banking and canvassing.
Dominic wrote earlier about the phenomenal ground game that the Approve 74 folks have going, and I got to walk along with Katie and Jeff as they worked to get Capitol Hill voters to turn in their damn ballots. Jeff works for himself, and Kate is between jobs, so they've both been volunteering during the day to drive out the vote.
(Shifts are in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and it's not too late to sign up! The evening shift starts at 5:30 p.m., so people with jobs can canvass too!)
Kate, Jeff, and I marched around the east slope of the hill, knocking on a specific list of doors that belong to voters likely to approve 74, but who haven't yet turned in ballots. Being the middle of the day, most folks weren't home. One of the few encounters we had was a middle-aged woman returning home from work.
"Hey! Are you guys for Referendum 74?!" she yelled from across the street.
We were, we said. Have you voted yet?
"Ohhhhh yes. I have a gay son! And I put that sign down on the traffic circle!"
She then proceeded to tell us where ALL of the gay people in the neighborhood live. There were lots of them.
We marked down the few folks we talked to, left literature at the houses with nobody home, and returned back to the action center after finishing the beat. Before the end of tomorrow, folks will be back at those houses. Want to go tell people who already support 74 to turn their ballots in? Here is a list of events between now and tomorrow night. Tonight and tomorrow are both great times to get out in the crisp fall air and canvass for equality.
Sign up. Eat lots of food. Get out the vote. Get right with God.

text: efrick 113 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Good Morning All! Here is the result of my first pass at the Grand Phoenix cockpit for the Hase 1/32 ME-163. The upside to this cockpit set is the simplicity (although there wasn't much to the ME-163 cockpit to begin with). Even in it's simplicity, however, it is light years ahead of the kit cockpit. I am becoming a devoted fan of resin seats with molded-in belts; I always found etched brass belts to be realistic, but tedious to work with. Test fitting of the cockpit tub in the fuselage halves reveals that it will be a perfect fit (whew!). One online reviewer of this cockpit set stated that he would "leave the accuracy of the cockpit set up to the builder". The shape of the box on the right console (electrical box?) does seem to be at variance with photos of the actual cockpit. Additionally, I couldn't find any clear evidence of what color the cylinder-shaped thingy at the rear of the left console should be. I went with RLM blue, just to give a bit of color to the spartan grey of the cockpit. However, if anyone has a definitive answer as to what color it should actually be, let me know! It is certainly not too late for a quick re-paint! Ultimately, as is so often the case I suspect most of the sidewall detail will disappear into the shadowy recesses of the fuselage interior. The leather headrest will get several washes of heavily diluted black, red, and brown to tone it down and give it a more "leathery" patina. There is also still the diluted brown wash to come throughout the cockpit tub, then a bit more dry brushing, and finally a flat coat to tone it all down and blend everything together. Comments welcomed and encouraged! harvey boyer likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Location: Q3
AUTHOR(S): Fisher & Turner (1970)
Fisher & Turner (1970). Orientations to seeking professional help: Development and research utility of an attitude scale.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 35(1), 79-90.
Surgenor, L. (1985). Attitudes toward seeking professional psychological
help. New Zealand Journal of Psychology, 14,
VARIABLE(S) MEASURED: Attitudes toward seeking professional help for psychological disturbances.
PURPOSES: Designed as a psychometric instrument to measure the dimension of attitudes toward seeking professional help.
The original ATSPPH (Fisher & Turner) included 29 items (18 negatively stated and 11 positively stated items) which consisted of 4 dimensions: recognition of need for psychotherapeutic help (8 items), stigma tolerance (5 items), interpersonal openness (7 items), and confidence in mental health practitioner (9 items). Surgenor (1985) later added 5 statements which represented psychological counselling as a vehicle for promoting personal growth for the use of the scale in the context of New Zealand.
SUBJECTS: General population. The scale has been used in student populations and non-student New Zealand populations.
ADMINISTRATION: Self-report
The responses were arranged in a 4-point Likert format: a high score (maximum=87) indicated a more positive attitude.
Internal consistency: Factor I (need), r=.67; Factor II (stigma), r=.70; Factor III (openness), r=.62; and Factor IV (confidence), r=.74. For whole scale, r=.83.
ATSPPH discriminated significantly on an empirical (known-groups) basis-- between those who have experienced prior contact and those who have not (for males, p<.001; for females, p<.0001).
COMMENTS: The measure is on file.

Question from Martha McSally:
What personal experience and education equips you to strategically address the significant foreign threats we face, including the murder of our ambassador and three Americans in Libya; the most sophisticated state sponsor of terror, Iran, marching toward obtaining a nuclear weapon; and al-Qaida gaining power again in Iraq? What experience do you have to ensure that our military is right-sized, trained and equipped to defend us from these threats?
Barber responds:
I grew up in a military family on Davis-Monthan. Our national security is a very personal issue for me. My father was an airman who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. I am inspired every day by the commitment of our men and women in uniform to keep America safe. Their service, combined with prudent decision-making by elected officials, will ensure that the United States remains the strongest nation in the world.
To meet emerging threats and deter future threats, we must keep our military strong and ensure that our strategies match the new conditions we face in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
I am already working on these critical issues as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Subcommittees on Emerging Threats/Capabilities and Strategic Forces, and the Homeland Security Committee. I work closely with senior military and law enforcement officials in Southern Arizona and nationally, and with my Military Advisory Council, to assess what needs to be done in Congress to provide the appropriations and policy direction required to meet these threats.
To keep Americans safe and to ensure we continue to be a leader worldwide, we must use all the tools available to us, not force alone. The chaos in the Middle East underscores the importance of building strong alliances, including our support for Israel, and the need to draw on the power of our American values of freedom and democracy.
Our local installations are a key component of our national security. As Congresswoman Giffords' district director and since being elected, I've worked with commanders at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Fort Huachuca and the 162nd Fighter Wing of the Arizona Air National Guard to ensure those installations continue to thrive, and I've worked to improve security along our border so we don't cede one inch of American soil to the drug cartels.
Facing down terrorism and responding to daily changes in the world require significant flexibility. The first place I turn is to our own military community - especially here in Southern Arizona - to know their needs and understand how Congress' decisions affect them.
The force behind our global leadership has always been our shared sacrifice, the strength of our military - fortified by the brave individuals who serve, and the depth of our values. This has made America a leader this century - just as it was in the last.
Ron Barber, the incumbent, is the Democratic candidate in District 2, which includes much of Tucson, plus Vail, Green Valley, Sahuarita and Southeastern Arizona.

Preliminary Final Paper Outline
1. At least 2 pp., not more than 3. One page should be your SSP framework outline and another page a narrative. Keep your evolving SSP outline in front of you as you write your final paper.
2. Keep "SSP Impact Methodology" journal file from Period 17 in mind.
3. Keep the Final Paper Assignment directions below in mind.
4. Identify the goods and the type of situational interdependence it creates.
5. From theory, give examples of the institutional alternatives that direct the type of interdependence you have identified and the relevant performance variables.
6. Give an example of a testable hypothesis linking S, S & P using the format in PPPC, eg. italicized hypothesis in Ch. 6). What empirical study from our reading seems most relevant to support the hypothesis?
7. What behavioral regularities are most relevant in predicting performance.
Final Paper Assignment .
1. Pick a real public (group) choice situation where you have experience. It can be foreign or domestic; governmental or private group (e.g., church, club, dormitory association). You may embellish the real case with additional situational factual assumptions as you wish to permit yourself the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of various sources of interdependence and other course concepts. You are not expected to spend a lot of time researching details of your case.
2. It could involve a change in the rules (like a court case or new legislation) or it may involve existing rules in which case, try to contrast the existing outcome with what you would expect under an alternative rule. Try to discover the rules that shape the choice you observe.
3. Make the paradigm (model) you are using explicit. State the linkages of the components (variables) of your paradigm as a series of testable hypotheses. Consider the handout entitled "SSP Impact Methodology Applied" and Shaffer's "Institutions, Behavior and Performance" from Period 2. Attach to your paper a one page SSP outline of the components (variables) found in your case following the format used in class and the attached excerpt from Samuels and Schmid, eds., Law and Economics, p. 78 (reserve, Main Library). The headings on your matrix need not be the same as the SSP example if you find some other construct more useful (explain). Use a horizontal outline format explicitly linking the case environment, particular situation (or combinations thereof) to alternative institutional structures and performance. Number the institutional alternatives (structures) and use the same number for the associated performance. Indicate the name of the physical good that goes with each situation and any characteristics of the environment and human behavior that you think are relevant. People, goods, and institutions matter.
4. Apply concepts from any of the readings to help you formulate predictive hypotheses as to the kind and direction of consequences you would expect from alternative rules. Consider public and private alternatives and variations within each. Use empirical material from PPPC Part IV and other readings where relevant. At least 2 pp. of your paper should describe case experience and methodology from our readings or other experience that support your hypotheses and how they could be tested. Use the PPPC subject index to look for relevant concepts and applications.
5. Remember our focus is institutional analysis (if this is not clear, see Schmid, "Analytical Institutional Economics," Amer. J. of Agr. Econ, Dec., 1972). We are asking how the rules affect whose preferences count and get reflected in performance (and even the evolution of preferences). We are not analyzing the physics of these choices (e.g., not the effect of a 55 mph speed on traffic accidents).--Though some rough idea of the production function may be presumed when identifying how the rules affect the interests of different groups which may be expressed in terms of final impact. When I say, predict the consequences of alternative rules, I don't mean the effect of 55 mph speed on death vs. a 75 mph speed. I mean, for example, the effects on behavior (speed actually driven) of alternative levels for speed limit administration (state, local, by a consolidated agency); is the opportunity to drive a private right protected by the courts; can it be traded; who bears the costs of accidents; what shapes the incentives of the policy and the judges, etc.? Don't choose cases that are primarily simple shifts in factor ownership or degree of competition.
6. You will need to note some of the interest groups who have a stake in these rules and try to predict how the alternative rules affect which groups count. In other words, if one of these (or all) groups hires you to inform it of which set of rules will further its interests, you should be able to help them. Then when they argue among themselves as to which rules should prevail, they can do it intelligently.
7. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate what you have learned from the course. Everyone is not expected to have learned exactly the same thing. Therefore, the assignment gives you the responsibility of formulating the question to be addressed in the context of the course material.
8. Do not address normative issues of PPPC Chapter 11.
9. Prepare a cover page for your paper which includes a 70-80 word abstract. At the end, attach a full bibliography of any works cited using the style of a major journal in your field.
10. Remember that this is your final exam. Final exams usually don't cover all topics in a course, but constitute a reasonable sample. You are responsible for that sample which allows you to practice and show off you skills in applying a few major concepts.
a. Select a case where the situation includes two or three sources of interdependence. Since the effects of IUG are relatively straightforward and well understood, it should be a minor part of your paper. Remember that we have spent a lot of time showing that there is more to rights than factor ownership. The main focus should be on an inherent situation, but you may also include an institution (rule) as the good and examine the performance of alternative rules for making rules
b. Explore and contrast the performance of at least two alternative rules (structures) for each situational feature of your case.
c. Explicitly formulate hypotheses relating the components of your paradigm. (See italicized examples in PPPC, Chapter 6.)
d. Use other empirical studies to warrant (support) your predicted performance. If you can't find an empirical case in our readings that parallels your case, perhaps you don't understand the theory or you need to argue that the theory is lacking.
e. Consider both impact and institutional change analysis though you do not need to give equal weight to each. Be explicit when you are doing one or the other.
f. Make your cognitive and behavioral model explicit.
11. Since the dominant style of writing in our profession is the journal article, write your paper as if it were to be submitted to a journal such as the Journal of Economic Issues, Journal of Socio-Economics, Public Choice and the Journal of Economic Psychology .
12. Maximum text length, 12 pp. double spaced, one inch margins all around, (page number may be outside the margin) 12 point font, exclusive of abstract, bibliography and one page SSP outline which shows the skeleton of your paradigm and hypotheses (the outline may be in smaller type). Leave the SSP outline loose so I can easily refer to it as I read your text. Grammar and spelling are not graded, but care in communication can't hurt. Above all, strive to make your paper interesting. Apply the following test--Hey, do I see and understand something in the economy I didn't before I started?
Check List:
a. Cover page and abstract.
b. Text.
Did you include: Name of the physical good; Predictive hypotheses; Identification of stakeholders; Empirical evidence to support your hypotheses; Both impact and change analysis; An explicit model of cognition and behavior?
c. Bibliography. (not part of page limit)
d. SSP Outline (not bound or stapled to text). (SSP is a way to find the common elements in the variables suggested by all of the authors you have read even if the terms they use are different.)
For examples of excellent term papers, see the Working Papers by former 810 students Karin Steffens, Jeff Blend, Nancy Ojeda, or Greg Hadley on my web page. I would like to put yours there next year.

Been there, done that ...
Happy Feet
(PG, 108 mins)
But maybe not such a happy feat. You imagine that when some movie execs saw the huge, indeed penguin-like, queues for March of the Penguins they decided it was p-p-past time to p-p-p-pick up a you-know-what and do it all again.
Thus despite Ice Age and, again indeed Ice Age 2, we're back in an Antarctic landscape for some pretty cool animation, dancing and a hit-you-over- the-head environmental message. Which is why, despite its high energy, computer-generated excellence - about as close to 3D as it gets - this is more of a snappy cheat. Someone persuaded director George Miller to move from pigs (his last was the Babe sequel, Pig in the City) to penguins, but certain beer commercials have already been there and punned that.
At cinemas across the province
The Nativity Story
(PG, 97mins) Shohreh Aghdashloo, Hiam Abbass, Ciaran Hinds
And with Belfast's Hinds as King Herod! Just in time for Christmas and just what it's all supposed to be about, this also bears the distinction of being the first movie ever to premiere at the Vatican. Director Catherine Hardwicke (who made Thirteen) naturally plays it safe, while injecting some humour. Then again, after Life of Brian, you have to.
Showing at selected cinemas across Northern Ireland
The Host
(15, 120mins) Kang-ho Song, Hie-bong Byeon, Hae-il Park, Du-na Bae
Probably never in your wildest did you imagine being terrified by a gigantic mutant tadpole. But then one shouldn't go dumping gallons of ageing formaldehyde into the river.
This Korean movie blends comedy, sentimentality and political satire into the horror mix and could be headed for cult status.
Showing exclusively at the Queen's Film Theatre

Review for Catch The Science Bug Foundation, Inc., Holden, MA, USA
Catch the Science Bug made the trek to NJ to Califon Public School. Kim was able to put on five presentations for 10 grade levels, from Pre-K to 8th, with such professionalism, enthusiasm, and gusto, that she was certainly the talk of the town. Her ability to relate to all age levels and present the material in an organized, enthusiastic, and relatable fashion was outstanding. Every student in the entire school particpated enthusiastically. What a great day! We can't say enough about the Science Bug and how thought provoking, educational, and fun the program was.

Continuing rain a boon for cattlemen
The Bureau of Meteorology's prediction that above-average rainfall will continue until at least March is a New Year's bonus for pastoralists across the not-so Red Centre.
The Bureau says the Northern Territory will still be under the influence of a La Nina until at least March.
Climatologist Joel Lisonbee says that will mean more rain and warmer temperatures across the Territory.
"The weather we expect from this La Nina influence is for things to be wetter than normal as well as our low temperatures to be warmer than normal throughout most of the Northern Territory," he said
The Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association says this is fantastic news on top of a wet 2010.
The Association's Tracey Hayes says with more rain on the way, station owners can concentrate on getting back into production and trying to get the balance sheet back on track.
"A continuing run of good seasons is certainly what's required in this area," she said.
"You know we've had such a long dry spell, we really need to have a run now of good seasons to allow pastoralists to get back into production, get back on their feet and start rebuilding their herds."

Scott Feldman allowed two hits in seven innings and Starlin Castro hit a two-run double to left in the Cubs' three-run eighth inning and Chicago beat the New York Mets 5-2 on Saturday.
Feldman struck out six and had an RBI single in the fourth off Jonathon Niese to help himself on the way to his first win since May 29.
Kevin Gregg got the last three outs for his ninth straight save and Chicago beat the Mets for the second day in a row, after losing five of seven before getting to Queens.
Gregg allowed a leadoff single to Marlon Byrd and third baseman Cody Ransom mishandled Justin Turner's hard smash with one out, but John Buck and Juan Lagares flied out.
The Mets got a run back in the bottom of the eighth on Jordany Valdespin's single off Carlos Villanueva, but David Wright struck out with runners on second and third and fans streamed for the exits.
The Cubs stranded 10 runners in the first seven innings before breaking it open in the eighth. Scott Rice allowed a hit and a walk around a sacrifice, then Brandon Lyon came on and gave up a single to load the bases before walking Cody Ransom to force in a run. Castro then had his hit.
Before his double bounced over the wall, Castro had stranded five runners and struck out three times, including with the bases loaded to end the fourth.
In the fourth inning, Wright followed Daniel Murphy's leadoff double with a double of his own to cut the lead to 2-1, but he was stranded at second.
Niese left with two outs in the fifth inning and a man on second. He finished having allowed two runs, six hits and four walks with five strikeouts. He is 0-2 in his past four starts.

Yo everybody.
I'm wondering if anybody can provide a .sav or savestate (compatible with VBA, please) of Pokemon Emerald with all Pokemon (386) on level 100?
Pokemon Emerald // 386
All 386 Pokemon on level 100.
VBA compatible savestate/savegame
Everything else does NOT matter.
I need it because I want to play with my friend but having some pokemon on level 5 and others at level 60 is not practical.
Edit: Oh well, I have a savestate which is almost what I wanted. My current Savestate has all 386 Pokemon but not all are on level 100. (for example Ditto is on level 2 or 5 if I remember correctly.
So if someone has a savestate which meets the criteria above, don't hesitate to post it. It's not THAT urgent anymore, though, so don't work hard for it. Just post it if you have it. =D

President Buchanan sent a command to Utah to install a non-Mormon governor in what was known as the "Mormon War." The Mormon War (or Utah War) was a confrontation between the Mormon people in the Utah Territory and the government of the United States. Sensitive to Republican charges that Democrats favored the "twin relics of barbarism—polygamy and slavery," President James Buchanan moved quickly after his inauguration to find a non-Mormon Governor for Utah, replacing Brigham Young.

What Would Lincoln Do? How Lincoln's Legacy is Used and Abused in Today's Washington
During the partial government shutdown of 2013, an expert panel of historians and policy analysts convened in Washington, DC, to discuss the presence of Abraham Lincoln's legacy in contemporary politics.

Derek Jeter can admit it now: He was definitely getting steamed at the New York Yankees.
While Jeter tried to keep talks quiet as the sides negotiated, the Yankees went public with suggestions his increasing age and decreased numbers should result in a pay cut.
At one point, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the 36-year-old shortstop should explore other options.
"I was pretty angry about it, and I let that be known," Jeter said Tuesday after finalizing a $51 million, three-year contract that cut his salary. "I was angry about it because I was the one that said I didn't want to do it. I said I was the one that wasn't going to do it."
At a news conference at the team's spring training home to announce the agreement, Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner and Cashman maintained there will be no lingering fallout.
"A big happy family," Jeter said. "You move past it. It's over with, and I won't bring it up again."
Jeter and the team reached a preliminary agreement Saturday on the deal, which includes an $8 million player option for 2014 with a $3 million buyout that could make it worth $56 million over four years. With an escalator, his 2014 salary could rise to $17 million and make the contract worth $65 million.
Jeter hit .270 with 10 homers this year, down from a .334 average and 18 homers the previous season. While his RBIs increased by one to 67, his on-base percentage fell from .406 to .340 and his slugging average dropped from .465 to .370.
After averaging $18.9 million as part of a 10-year contract, he gets salaries of $15 million next year, $16 million in 2012 and $17 million in 2013, with $2 million annually deferred and payable on each March 15 over three years starting in 2015.
