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.

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.

  • 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.

A growing number of local officials publicly expressed their support for closing the notorious jail and reallocating taxpayer dollars to fund resources which combat the effects of poverty and systemic racism. This wide spectrum of public officials now includes Treasurer Tishaura Jones, Comptroller Darlene Green, Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, State Senator Jamilah Nasheed, members of the Board of Aldermen Dan Guenther, Cara Spencer, Jesse Todd, Megan Green, Annie Rice, Heather Navarro, Christine Ingrassia, and Brandon Bosley, as well as current candidate for Circuit Attorney Mary Pat Carl, and the Democratic Central Committee for the City of St. Louis. As an indication of this political will, St. Louis Alders Guenther, Spencer, and Todd announced a Resolution to initiate the jail’s closure and re-appropriate the $16 million to community supports such as mental healthcare, jobs, and pretrial and victims’ services. The campaign reiterated its call for these supports and services to be rooted in community, beyond the reach of the criminal legal system. Speakers at the press conference included Callion Barnes, a Member of the Close the Workhouse Campaign, Kayla Reed, Director and Founder of Action St.
