Ephemera Western Books The Wars for the Pacific Northwest Volume 2 - Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars 1865-1890 Peter Cozzens, editor Stackpole Books, 2002 - $49.95 The Indian Wars of popular imagination evoke images of the Great Plains, charging cavalry, and heoric last stands. But some of the most severe, poignant, and decisive encounters between the army and Native American tribes occurred in the Pacific Northwest. Among these overlooked conflicts are the Modoc War, which sixty warriors stood off more than ten times their number of soldiers for six months, and the long and bloody Nez Perce campaign, arguably the most unjust war ever thrust on the American Indian. In the latter half of the 19th century, the American West was an untamed frontier, a fierce battleground where the preservation of law and order was a difficult task. Following the west coast mining boom, settlers from the east rapidly began to migrate to the abundance of land awaiting claim. The expansion of the United States, however, was barred by the unwillingness of the native peoples to give up the land that they had lived on for generations. Consequently, antagonism between the Indians and settlers led to bitter violence on several occasions, necessitating the intervention of the U.S. miltiary, hence the so-called "Indian Wars."

CAREERS 2004 PONTIAC GTO Find out more about Cialis The Wild, Wild West BY MICHAEL PAGLIA feedback@westword.com From the Week of Thursday, April 1, 1999 Theater A Long Night Out Voice Lessons When John Hull moved to Denver last year to become the head of the art department at the University of Colorado's Denver campus, the city didn't gain just another academic. It also netted itself an important artist, as shown in John Hull Narrative Paintings, Hull's regional debut exhibit at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. Hull was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1952. His father taught physics at Yale University, but the family soon moved to the rural northwest when Hull's father accepted a teaching job at Oregon State University. Growing up in Oregon, the only kind of fine art Hull was exposed to was the religious imagery of the Catholic Church, especially the crucifix. More important to Hull, though, was the limited mass media available in the area at the time. "The Catholic Church has an attachment to imagery and has supported many fine paintings," Hull says. "But the biggest influence on me as a kid were the covers of pulp novels for sale at the drugstore. I'm old enough to remember when paintings were done for book covers." As a youngster, Hull wasn't seriously interested in art. He came to painting, which he today refers to as his "vocation" or "calling," much later. In fact, when Hull entered Yale as an undergraduate in 1971, he had no intention of becoming an artist: He wanted to pursue writing, and his declared major was English. After a year, however, Hull dropped out of Yale, gave up his student deferment and enlisted in the Marine Corps.

63. NIAID Research On West Nile Virus, NIAID Fact Sheet for evidence of the virus (The us Department of Researchers are examining wild birds and chickens in the vectors have been constructed using west Nile virus http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/westnile.htm

September 2003 NIAID Research on West Nile Virus Overview West Nile virus belongs to a group of disease-causing viruses known as flaviviruses, which are spread by insects, usually mosquitoes. Other flaviviruses include yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, dengue virus, and Saint Louis encephalitis virus. West Nile virus has become the most well-known flavivirus and represents an emerging infectious disease in the United States. West Nile virus was first isolated in Uganda in 1937. Today it is most commonly found in Africa, West Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In 1999, it emerged in the Western Hemisphere for the first time in the New York City area. Although health officials hoped the virus would not survive the first winter, in early spring 2000 it re-emerged in birds and mosquitoes and spread to other parts of the eastern United States. Most human West Nile virus infections are mild, causing fever, headache, and body aches, often accompanied by a skin rash and swollen lymph glands. If the virus crosses the blood-brain barrier, however, it can cause life-threatening encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord). Recent cases have indicated that West Nile virus can be transmitted by transfusion or transplantation. In addition, it appears that West Nile virus can also be transmitted from mother to child before birth and through breast milk.

Westmoreland When Pennsylvania was the Wild West Wednesday, April 21, 2004 By Len Barcousky, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette When Carl Robertson looks out across the fields behind his home in Jackson, he imagines a cluster of log cabins and log houses like those occupied by trappers and farmers on the Pennsylvania frontier more than two centuries ago. Where a modern, metal-walled garage now stands, he plans to build a store where visitors to the farm, called Providence Plantation, will be able to buy reproductions of Colonial-era toys, clothing and furniture. As part of an effort to keep traditional crafts and industries alive, he also hopes to construct a pair of forges where people could learn the basics of 18th-century iron working. Robertson doesn't want anyone to forget the earliest people who lived in Western Pennsylvania. Hidden among the trees atop a nearby ridge, he plans to re-create an Indian village. By profession, Robertson is a minister, Biblical scholar and counselor. By avocation and academic training, he is a historian. He also is founder, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The Providence Plantation Foundation, a 2-year-old volunteer organization he leads from the 44-acre property that he and his wife, Jeanne, bought in 1979 and have been fixing up ever since.

Archives Women in the Wild West New Killam Fellow to study homesteading and the politics of gender by Bob Blakey There are more differences between the American Old West and its Canadian counterpart than lawless frontier towns and the North West Mounted Police. There are the starkly contrasting rights of single women to acquire land. Those experiences were remarkably different, for reasons not yet fully explained. As the West was opened up, she says, the United States government permitted single women to acquire homesteads, which they did in the thousands. In Canada, while men were given 160-acre parcels just by registering and making improvements, unmarried women were denied that right. Early indications are that women on this side of the border were seen in a different light, she says.

Search: The Web Rediff Home Business Columnists Guest Column Pradip Baijal Is this Wild West or was this needed? January 17, 2004 T here have been suggestions at times that frequent changes in the regulatory environment in India inhibit further investments. But whether the telecom network could have grown to its present size and acquired such a growth potential, without regulatory intervention, is a question of debate. Central to this debate are fundamental issues like whether we have such a regime. To my mind there have been three key regulatory interventions: in 1999, 2001 and 2003. The first intervention had its genesis in the licence auction system prevalent in 1995-96, wherein the mobile operators had bid very high licence fees and the initial peak tariffs were fixed at more than Rs 16 per minute. Very soon it was realised that, with these tariffs, there would be no growth and a number of companies would go bankrupt. After considerable debate, in 1999 the government decided to reduce mobile operators' licence fees from Rs 20,000 crore (Rs 200 billion) to Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 50 billion) and converted the regime into revenue sharing. Such a step to facilitate industry viability was taken by the government despite a lot of criticism, and even litigation.

Samuels Wallace Thurman started out as an outsider in Mormon Utah and brought his own uniquely witty satire to the burgeoning Harlem Renaissance Wallace Thurman was a genius to his friends and colleagues of the Harlem Renaissance. Langston Hughes records his admiration for Thurman in his autobiography, The Big Sea (August 1993). Noting that Thurman had an enviable critical mind, Hughes described him as "a strangely brilliant black boy, who had read everything." By the time of his death in 1934 at the young age of 32, Thurman could only be described as a revolutionary pioneer given the enviable record he left as his legacy. He published three novels: The Blacker the Berry, 1929; Infants of the Spring, 1932; and The Interme, 1932. His play Harlem: A Melodrama of Negro Life in Harlem (written in collaboration with William Jourdan Rapp) had reached Broadway. Perhaps most importantly, Thurman, along with Aaron Douglass, Bruce Nugent, Hurston and Hughes, founded Fire in 1926. The publication was so named, according to Hughes, "to burn up a lot of the old, dead conventional Negro-white ideas of the past ... into a realization of the existence of the younger Negro writers and artists, and provide us with an outlet for publication not available in the limited pages of the small Negro magazines then existing...."

Who's next? Even with a human epidemic like SARS, answering these questions can be gnarly. When the subject is, er, birds, research money dries up faster than a prairie pothole in a July heat wave. But even if your avian interests tend more toward KFC and turkey dinner than American crows and great horned owls, you might want to consider the wild birds. They are, after all, the most likely mechanism for West Nile's geographic spread. "There is some evidence, and a fair amount of belief, that it's being carried around in migratory birds," says Paul Slota, who's in charge of public information at the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. "We think it's pretty clear that is happening," Slota says.

Search Advanced Search Previous Next West Nile: The Virus that Came to Stay By Janet Ginsburg Last April, about a week after the snow finally melted in central Minnesota, Casey, a five-year-old mare near the small town of Brainerd, became a statistic - the first horse to die of West Nile virus in 2003. "That worried us since it was so early in the season," says David Neitzel, epidemiologist with the state's health department. Seven horses died in the area the previous year, but it was not considered a hot spot. "This virus can pick up where it left off," notes Neitzel. In 2003, West Nile virus (WNV) didn't have to wait to hitch a ride north with migrating birds; the season had a record early start, because the virus never left. Protected within the bodies of infected mosquitoes drowsing away the winter in diapause, it survived. When warm weather returned, so did the mosquitoes and the virus. WNV spreads fast and sticks. In 1999, the virus was limited to a small outbreak in New York. Four years later, not only has it spread from coast to coast (see A Virus moves West ), but also from Canada to El Salvador. Hundreds of animals, ranging from alligators in Florida to turkeys in Minnesota, have tested positive. Dozens of mosquito species, and even a few ticks, have been shown to carry it. Under the right circumstances, WNV can also spread through food, and likely through water as well.
