AbstractIt is the responsibility of all federal facilities to be the caretakers of any historic properties under their jurisdiction. When a significant historic structure will be adversely affected by a federal project, that impact must be mitigated. Such mitigation is generally achieved through documentation of the structure so that a written and visual record of the existing structure is saved for posterity. Argonne National Laboratory personnel recently documented a historically significant Cold War‐era satellite‐tracking antenna for the New Boston Air Force Station in New Hampshire. This antenna was slated for demolition. The procedure followed for identification of the property, the planning of the demolition, and the development of the documentation provides an example of how management of historic properties can be addressed without interfering with the mission activities. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Interactions with parents are known to have a significant impact on children's self-esteem. In this study, designed to test propositions derived from Achievement Goal Theory and Self-Determination Theory, we assessed the influence of perceived parent-initiated mastery and ego motivational climates on self-esteem and self-esteem change in competitive youth swimmers over the course of a 32-week sport season. At each of three measurement points (early, mid, and late season), mastery climate scores on the Parent-Initiated Motivational Climate Questionnaire-2 scale were positively related to global self-esteem scores and to a measure of relative motivational autonomy that reflects the intrinsic-extrinsic motivation continuum, whereas ego climate scores were negatively related to self-esteem and autonomy. Longitudinal analyses revealed that early-season mastery climate predicted positive changes in self-esteem over the course of the season, whereas ego climate predicted decreased self-esteem. Consistent with predictions derived from Self-Determination Theory, a meditational analysis revealed that these self-esteem changes were mediated by changes in autonomous motivation.
