William Seidman Research Institute W. P. Carey School of Business Arizona State University and The Economic & Business Research Center Eller College of Management The University of Arizona Authors: Alberta Charney, Ph.D. [email protected] Kent Hill, Ph.D. [email protected] Dennis Hoffman, Ph.D. [email protected] Jose Lobo, Ph.D. [email protected] Maile Nadelhoffer, M.S., M.A. [email protected] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report is by no means the first articulation of the benefits of research in Arizona. Among these efforts is an extensive list of publications from the Morrison Institute for Public Policy and the work of the Battelle Memorial Institute, Flinn Foundation, Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona Department of Commerce and many others. We gratefully acknowledge these authors and sponsors of the literature, which provides the backdrop for our undertaking. Our intent is to add to this body of literature by investigating the rationale for research investments across the academic literature, examining the assembled empirical evidence on the issue, conducting independent statistical analysis, and surveying what other regions, states and countries are doing to increase the pace of investment in research. The impact of research on productivity and economic activity — how it works, how it’s measured — is a fascinating topic that has captured the interest of many authors. This report has clearly benefited from this extensive body of literature. We also acknowledge the broad academic community of scholars and journal editors that provided the basis for much of our analysis. We want to recognize the technical staff members who made this report possible: Tracy Clark, M.S., Nettie Klingler, M.S., and Tom Rex, M.B.A., of Arizona State University, and Valorie H. Rice, M.L.S., of The University of Arizona. Finally, we thank Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) for sponsoring this strategic assessment of research investments in Arizona, and the Stardust Foundation, for funding this effort on behalf of SFAz.

LINC Local Investment Commission 3100 Broadway, Suite 1100 - Kansas City, MO 64111 - (816) 889-5050 - www.kclinc.org Local Investment Commission (LINC) Vision Our Shared Vision A caring community that builds on its strengths to provide meaningful opportunities for children, families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, attain their highest potential, and contribute to the public good. Our Mission To provide leadership and influence to engage the Kansas City Community in creating the best service delivery system to support and strengthen children, families and individuals, holding that system accountable, and changing public attitudes towards the system. Our Guiding Principles 1. COMPREHENSIVENESS: Provide ready access to a full array of effective services. 2. PREVENTION: Emphasize “front-end” services that enhance development and prevent problems, rather than “back-end” crisis intervention. 3. OUTCOMES: Measure system performance by improved outcomes for children and families, not simply by the number and kind of services delivered. 4. INTENSITY: Offering services to the needed degree and in the appropriate time. 5. PARTICIPANT INVOLVEMENT: Use the needs, concerns, and opinions of individuals who use the service delivery system to drive improvements in the operation of the system. 6. NEIGHBORHOODS: Decentralize services to the places where people live, wherever appropriate, and utilize services to strengthen neighborhood capacity. 7. FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS: Create a delivery system, including programs and reimbursement mechanisms, that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to respond to the full spectrum of child, family and individual needs. 8. COLLABORATION: Connect public, private and community resources to create an integrated service delivery system.

  • HOW MEAT CHANGED SEX the Law of Interspecies Intimacy After Industrial Reproduction
    GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies HOW MEAT CHANGED SEX The Law of Interspecies Intimacy after Industrial Reproduction Gabriel Rosenberg On the night of March 4, 2006, Alan Goats received a frightened call from his daughter. She had seen a man enter the fenced backyard and drag one of Goats’s lambs into the small barn on the property (The Smoking Gun 2006). Goats rushed back to his residence on Catclaw Street, and there he found his neighbor of seven­ teen years, LeRoy Johnson, in a state of extreme intoxication, on the floor of the barn, pants undone, lying atop the lamb. An embarrassed Johnson stumbled back to his own home, where he stayed until Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies arrived to arrest him later that evening. Johnson was reported to have said during the con­ frontation with Goats, “You caught me, Alan, I tried to fuck your sheep,” an utter­ ance mixing comic sexual impotence — he had tried but apparently failed — with the banal tragedy of alcoholic excess (ibid.). The lurid scenario attracted national media attention. But if the citizens of Arizona were laughing at Johnson, they soon discovered they were equally the butt of the joke. Johnson was charged with only misdemeanor offenses for disor­ derly conduct, trespass, and public indecency. Many residents were surprised to learn that bestiality was not a crime in the state of Arizona. The law that once had criminalized bestiality­encompassing “infamous crimes against nature” had been amended to exclude bestiality and then, in 2001, discarded altogether. A judge ordered Johnson to receive counseling and to minimize his contact with animals but allowed him to keep his pet dog and turtles (The Smoking Gun 2007).

    CATHERINE HANAWAY 10-10-2013 STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI-ST. LOUIS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S FORUM ORAL HISTORY PROJECT October 10, 2013 CATHERINE HANAWAY INTERVIEWED BY BLANCHE TOUHILL Catherine Hanaway: My name is Catherine Hanaway. Blanche Touhill: Tell me something about your childhood: your mother and your father, your siblings, your cousins and uncle or your elementary, your secondary school experience. What, in those years, motivated you to become what you are today? Catherine Hanaway: My family had a tremendous influence on me and we were fortunate enough to grow up with both my mom’s parents and my dad’s parents as part of our life and their example and their character and their values had a profound impact on me, and I think my siblings. My mom’s parents, neither one of them got out of primary school. They were both oldest siblings of large families and kind of had to take care of their younger siblings but they tremendously valued education. So my mom and her sister and her brother all went on to higher education. They got through high school. My mom and her sister went to nursing school and my uncle went to the seminary, dropped out and then became an engineer. On my dad’s side, my grandparents were small business owners. My grandmother had been a teacher and one of the famous sort of family legends was that, in her first teaching job, she rode a horse to school, taught in a one-room schoolhouse, and traded that horse plus $400 for a Model T her second year of teaching.

  • Voters Going Third Party Right Now Would Pretty Evenly Move to Clinton and Trump If They Had to Choose One of the Two
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2016 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Trump Favored in Missouri; Senate Race Competitive Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's new Missouri poll finds Donald Trump with a 10 point lead in the state, the same margin that Mitt Romney won by there in 2012. Trump gets 46% to 36% for Hillary Clinton, with Gary Johnson at 7% and Jill Stein at 1%. In a head to head match up Trump leads 50/40- voters going third party right now would pretty evenly move to Clinton and Trump if they had to choose one of the two. The spread between Clinton and Trump in Missouri being the same as the spread between Obama and Romney was in the state is something that's popping up pretty consistently in our polling right now. We're generally finding a picture that's pretty similar to the last time around: State Most Recent Poll 2012 Result in State National Clinton 45, Trump 41 (D+4) Obama 51, Romney 47 (D+4) Missouri Trump 46, Clinton 36 (R+10) Romney 54, Obama 44 (R+10) Arizona Trump 44, Clinton 40 (R+4) Romney 54, Obama 45 (R+9) Iowa Clinton 41, Trump 39 (D+2) Obama 52, Romney 46 (D+6) New Hampshire Clinton 43, Trump 39 (D+4) Obama 52, Romney 46 (D+6) Ohio Clinton 44, Trump 40 (D+4) Obama 51, Romney 48 (D+3) Pennsylvania Clinton 46, Trump 42 (D+4) Obama 52, Romney 47 (D+5) Wisconsin Clinton 47, Trump 39 (D+8) Obama 53, Romney 46 (D+7) North Carolina Clinton 43, Trump 43 (Tie) Romney 50, Obama 48 (R+2) Virginia Clinton 42, Trump 39 (D+3) Obama 51, Romney 47 (D+4) There are a few states with some relatively big differences from 2012- Clinton's doing 4 points worse than Obama did in Iowa, while she's doing 5 points better than he did in Arizona.
