No full textLetter from Patty Lew, to Jim Matsuoka, National Coalition for Redress/Reparations, thanking Jim Matsuoka for sending the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations buttons for their Asian American Youth Conference at the University of Oregon.The Jim Matsuoka Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress Collection includes brochures, meeting notes and agendas, publications, booklets, and other material related to the Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress (NCRR), formally known as the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations. The National Coalition for Redress/Reparations was officially formed on July 12, 1980, and included members of the Los Angeles Community Coalition for Redress/Reparations (LACCRR), Japanese Community Progressive Alliance (JCPA), Tule Lake Committee, Nihonmachi Outreach Committee, the Asian/Pacific Student Union, and other members of the community. The material was collected by Jim Matsuoka, a founding member of the organization. Matsuoka also served on the board and was the treasurer. In addition to the NCRR material, the collection also contains event flyers and Day of Remembrance material. For issues of the Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress newsletter "Banner" published after 2007, visit the NCRR website at https://ncrr-la.org/

sustainable tourism (France, 1997; Hall & Lew
No full textAbstract Concern for the degradation of the environment (Holden, 2000; Russo, 1999) has seen the emergence of a small but steadily increasing number of UK organisations, which are primarily situated in the third sector (Office of the Third Sector, 2008). These are increasingly cited (Benson, 2004; Clifton & Benson, 2006; Coghlan, 2006) in the emerging and growing niche of volunteer tourism (Wearing, 2001). The organisations bring paying volunteers (tourists) and scientists together to work on research projects, and offer similar services but the range of specific research projects available to volunteers is both complex and diverse. This allows the organisations to differentiate their portfolio based around the projects' destinations (the locations are often remote), the type of ecosystem involved (e.g. marine, terrestrial, rainforest) and the actual activity or purpose around which the project is based (e.g. diving coral reefs, or related to wildlife). Despite this diversity, the organisations all operate in essentially a common framework of sustainability, that involve notions of sustainable development (Holden, 2000; IUCN, 1980; Murphy, 1994; World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987), sustainable tourism (France, 1997; Hall & Lew, 1998; Holden, 2000; UNWTO, 2004) and the triple bottom line (Rogers & Ryan, 2001; Vanclay, 2004; Willard, 2002). The framework of sustainability is built on three pillars: economic, environmental and social. The literature clearly indicates that a balance between the three pillars is essential if sustainability is to be achieved (Burns & Holden, 1995; Clarke, 1997; Cronin, 1990; Hardy, Beeton, & Pearson, 2002; Ko, 2005; Swarbrooke, 1999; United Nationals Development Programme, 2005). In order for this balance to be achieved and therefore, sustainable tourism development to be successful a range of stakeholders (Freeman, 1984; Friedman & Miles, 2002; Phillips & Freeman, 2003) (Hogg & Vaughan, 2002). Consequently, the aim of this research was to explore the complexity of trying to work within a framework of sustainability, with a given number of stakeholders (in this case, a UK organisation, its customers (volunteers, primarily British) and the local community (Indonesian) where the project operates) that may hold different values and the extent t

Persistence and Effort in Moving Achievement Goal Research Forward: A Response to Treasure and Colleagues
No full textIn their response to our recent paper (Harwood, Hardy, & Swain, 2000), Treasure et al. (2001) claimed to have clarified our misconceptions and misrepresentations of achievement goal research. After first of all commenting on the apparently rather emotive nature of their response, we logically deal with each of their criticisms. Specifically, we present sound theoretical arguments to show that: (a) personal theories of achievement hold primacy over achievement goals; (b) we are not “particularly confused” (or even a little confused) in our understanding of conceptions of ability; (c) there are excellent reasons for examining the possibility of a tripartite approach to goal orientation and goal involvement; and (d) the issue of measurement in achievement goal research needs to be carefully reconsidered. Further, in response to the status quo offered by Treasure and colleagues, we call for more innovative research that will help progress the impact of achievement goal theory in competitive sport.</jats:p
Lew Wallace: An Unsung Hoosier Hero
No full textLew Wallace is undoubtedly one of the most important Hoosiers of the nineteenth century. His long list of achievements lie within the fields of politics, military valor, and creative writing. The aim of the thesis is to highlight these capstone moments in Lew Wallace\u27s life such as his upbringing, his political career, his military experience, and his talent as an author in order to shed light on a Hoosier that does not seem to receive the recognition that he deserves. I will begin the paper by looking at Wallace\u27s childhood. His attitude from an early age would put him on the path that would lead to his controversial military experiences and his success as an author and politician. Next, the paper will move to a discussion of Wallace\u27s military command. This includes both the supposed failure at the Battle of Shiloh as well as the efforts at Monocacy. The third portion of the paper will examin Wallace\u27s political life after the Civil War, and his efforts in that respect. This includes his work as the governor of the New Mexico territory and his work as minister to the Ottoman Empire. The fourth section of the paper examines Wallace\u27s success as an author. This focuses primarily on the work that became the best-seller of his time, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. At the end of the paper, I hope to illuminate the idea that Wallace, despite his flaws, is worthy of more Hoosier praise, which I feel he does not receive
Factors Influencing Physical Risk Taking in Rock Climbing
No full textThis study was designed to investigate factors influencing physical risk taking in the sport of rock climbing. Specifically, the relationships between physical risk taking, sensation seeking, spheres of control, and desirability of control were examined. One hundred five rock climbers from the United States completed a series of surveys measuring each of the above-mentioned psychological variables. As predicted, physical risk taking demonstrated significant positive relationships to both total sensation seeking and thrill/adventure seeking (TAS). The expected relationships between physical risk taking, personal control and desirability of control were not supported. As hypothesized, no substantive patterns were revealed between physical risk taking and interpersonal control or sociopolitical control. Finally, comparisons between high and low physical risk taking rock climbers revealed significant group differences for total sensation seeking, TAS, and disinhibition. The identification of predictors of physical risk taking is a key step toward identifying individuals likely to engage in high physical risk behavior, and under what circumstances they are likely to do so
