Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West, by American writer Dee Brown, is a history of Native Americans in the American West in the late nineteenth century. The book expresses a Native American perspective on the injustices and betrayals committed by the US government. Brown describes Native Americans' displacement through forced relocations and years of warfare waged by the United States federal government. The government's dealings are portrayed as a continuing effort to destroy the culture, religion, and way of life of Native American peoples.[2] Helen Hunt Jackson's A Century of Dishonor is often considered a 19th-century precursor to Dee Brown's writing.[3]
Before the publication of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Dee Brown had become well versed in the history of the American frontier. Having grown up in Arkansas, he developed a keen interest in the American West, and during his graduate education at George Washington University and his career as a librarian for both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he wrote numerous books on the subject.[4] Brown's works maintained a focus on the American West, but ranged anywhere from western fiction to histories to even children's books. Many of Brown's books revolved around similar Native American topics, including his Showdown at Little Bighorn (1964) and The Fetterman Massacre (1974).[5]
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was first published in 1970 to generally strong reviews. Published at a time of increasing American Indian activism, the bestseller has never gone out of print and has been translated into 17 languages.[6] The title is taken from the final phrase of a 20th-century poem titled "American Names" by Stephen Vincent Benet. The full quotation, "I shall not be here/I shall rise and pass/Bury my heart at Wounded Knee," appears at the beginning of Brown's book.[7] Although Benet's poem is not about the plight of Native Americans, Wounded Knee was the location of the last major confrontation between the U.S. Army and American Indians.
In the first chapter, Brown presents a brief history of the discovery and settlement of America, from 1492 to the Indian turmoil that began in 1860. He stresses the initially gentle and peaceable behavior of Indians toward Europeans, especially given their apparent lack of resistance to early colonial efforts at Europeanization. It was not until the further influx of European settlers, gradual encroachment, and eventual seizure of American lands by the "white man" that the Native people were shown to exhibit forms of major resistance.[8]
Brown completes his initial overview by briefly describing incidents up to 1860 that involve American encroachment and Native American eradication, beginning with the defeat of the Wampanoags and Narragansetts, Iroquois, and Cherokee Nations, as well as the establishment of the West as the "permanent Indian frontier" and the ultimate breaches of the frontier as a means to achieve Manifest Destiny.[9]
In each of the following chapters, Brown provides an in-depth description of a significant post-1860 event in American Western expansion or Native American eradication, focusing in turn on the specific tribe or tribes involved in the event. In his narrative, Brown primarily discusses such tribes as the Navajo Nation, Santee Dakota, Hunkpapa Lakota, Oglala Lakota, Cheyenne, and Apache people. He puts less emphasis on the Arapaho, Modoc, Kiowa, Comanche, Nez Perce, Ponca, Ute, and Minneconjou Lakota tribes.
Brown discusses the plights of Manuelito and the Navajo people in New Mexico, who make treaties and other efforts to maintain peace with the Americans despite their encroachment upon Navajo land, stealing livestock and burning entire villages as punishment for perceived misbehavior. The second, third and fourth generation European immigrants occupy land in Navajo country not only to build their own forts, the first of which was Fort Defiance, but also claim rights to the surrounding prized Navajo lands as pasture for their livestock. Various disputes occur between the Navajo and the post-European Americans, culminating in a horse race between Manuelito and an American lieutenant who wins as a result of dishonesty and trickery. The upshot is a massacre of the Navajo bystanders.[10]
The American general James Carleton attempts to order the Navajos to relocate to a reservation at Bosque Redondo, where the Apaches had recently been moved, but he meets with resistance. Employing a scorched-earth campaign, Kit Carson and Carleton force a large majority of resistant Navajos and Apaches to surrender and flee to the reservation. Manuelito and few others Navajo leaders refuse to surrender, but finally agree to relocate to the Bosque in 1866 "for the sake of the women and children", signing a peace treaty on June 1, 1868.[11]
The narrative of the Sioux people begins with Brown's discussion of the Santee Dakota tribe after their developing anger toward the white people in the early 1860s following a poor harvest and lack of promised support from the US government. Following the murder of a few white men and women by young Dakota, the frustrated Santee tribe, led by Chief Little Crow, attempted and failed an attack on Fort Ridgely and a nearby town. When the Santees refuse to surrender white hostages to Colonel Sibley, they are forced to fight a battle at Yellow Medicine River, losing and resulting in the execution of over three dozen tribe Santees in December 1862. Santee Chiefs, including Chief Little Crow, were killed within the following six months and the remaining Santees are removed to a Missouri River and Crow Creek reservation.[12]
Brown's discussion of the Oglala Lakota begins with the US Army's invasion of the Powder River country in 1865 Montana, who faced opposition from the local Lakota and Cheyenne tribes before annihilation and forced removal of a local Arapaho tribe. This and other skirmishes led to heated conflict between the Army and the local Oglala Lakotas, led by Chiefs Red Cloud and Roman Nose, forcing the American Army to retreat for the winter. The death of a great proportion of troops brought great confidence to the Natives, who began a move to the Black Hills.[13]
By the Army's request, the local Chiefs and approximately 2000 other natives arrived at Fort Laramie in May 1866 for treaty talks until the tribes learn of the Army's intent on building trails and railroads through their land. Work on the road progresses as the natives plan an attack on the white men and begin harassing the traffic through the Powder River country. Red Cloud leads approximately 3,000 Lakota in what becomes known as the Fetterman Massacre, an ambush at Peno Creek killing 81 white men and 200 natives. In the following years conflict continues between the American Army and Lakota, as peace commissions continue to be sent to the Powder River, until 1868 when the Army retreats and signs a mutual peace treaty with Red Cloud.[14]
In 1869 Red Cloud is asked to come to Washington D.C. to speak with Donehogawa, an Iroquois Commissioner of Indian Affairs in the US government. The chief and his tribe member express with their discontent with the 1868 treaty which defined their agency on the Missouri River instead of Powder River, which Donehogawa corrected by declaring the Powder River country as reserved Lakota hunting grounds. Donehogawa's agency, after being accused of having the qualities of a "savage Indian," was disallowed from purchasing supplies for the reservations and subsequently forced the resignation of the Commissioner.[15]
When rumors of gold in the Black Hills return with Custer to the white settlers in the plains in 1874, miners and panhandlers flood the area, angering the Lakota and Dakota living there. A peace council in 1875 arranges for the American purchase of either mineral rights or outright ownership of the Black Hills, both of which are rejected by the Natives in favor of resistance to the Army. In 1876, a series of battles occur between the Natives and US troops, with neither side gaining an evident lead until the Native defeat of General Custer and his troops at The Battle of Little Bighorn on June 29. The infuriated American Army sends a peace council to sign a treaty that forces the Sioux out of the Black Hills to the Missouri River. The troops follow this treaty with various attacks on Lakota villages and Chief Crazy Horse's army of Lakota, ultimately resulting in the stabbing and death of the Chief.[16]
Following the removal of the Lakota from the Black Hills to the Missouri River reservation, Sitting Bull, still in exile in Canada participating in multiple unsuccessful peace talks, rides to Fort Buford to surrender, resulting in his placement at the Hunkpapa reservation at Standing Rock and his travelling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The Lakota were ultimately forced to sign a treaty in 1890 that divided their reservation. Following the acceptance of the Ghost Dance religion among the Lakota people, Sitting Bull is arrested in an attempt to quell the religious disturbance. The two Indian policemen sent to seize him immediately kill the Chief.[17]
The Minneconjou named Kicking Bear was the originator of the Ghost Dance religion. Stating that he saw a vision of Christ in Nevada who taught him the Dance of the Ghosts, he told that in the next year a new Earth would arise for all men dancing the Dance of the Ghosts, concealing the terrors of the white man and reaping buffalo, wild horses, and new trees and grasses.[18] Following the death of Sitting Bull, a battle arose that resulted in the collaboration of the fleeing Hunkpapas and Minneconjous at Standing Rock. Deciding against resisting the army, the tribes fled to seek Red Cloud's assistance at Pine Ridge, encountering Major Whitside on the way in late December 1890. The tribes were directed to Wounded Knee, where a refusal of a Minneconjou called Black Coyote to hand over his rifle results in the massacre of 150-350 Indians and 25-31 troops. Those remaining injured Lakota fled to Pine Ridge, returning to bury their families and comrades the following day.[19]
The 1858 Pikes Peak gold rush brings a swarm of white settlers to Cheyenne and Arapaho lands in Colorado, which instigates treaty talks that result in an established Cheyenne and Arapaho territory between Sand Creek and the Arkansas River. When the Civil War brings the Army into their territory, conflict occurs that are followed by a proclamation calling for the murder of "hostile Indians". When a peace talk results in a brutal attack on the Cheyenne tribe, the Cheyenne respond with various strikes on the Army's outposts. Black Kettle then leads his tribe south to hunt buffalo, encountering several battles on the way until a mutual peace treaty is signed allocating the Cheyenne tribe land South of the Arkansas River.[20]
The Southern Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, hunting for buffalo in Kansas in early 1866, are asked to sign the treaty that would remove them to the South with Black Kettle and his tribe. Upon their refusal, Roman Nose organizes an attack which is thwarted by the coming of winter. In the following year a peace council occurs between the General Hancock's army and the natives resulting in the burning of the Cheyenne camp when they refuse to cooperate with Hancock. A series of Native attacks lead to the eventual signing of a treaty by the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes relocating them to the reservation south of Arkansas. Roman Nose, neglecting to sign this treaty, leads a series of attacks in the following years with his army of Dog Soldiers which result in the death of Roman Nose, the burning of Black Kettle's village by Generals Custer and Sheridan, and the ultimate death of the remaining band of Dog Soldiers.[21]
In response to their deteriorating health due to the unfit land at Fort Reno allocated to them upon their surrender, the Northern Cheyenne tribe led by Little Wolf and Dull Knife journey North to hunt buffalo in 1877. Returning from the hunt unsuccessful, the tribe suffers severe losses due to health problems, especially due to a measles epidemic. The two chiefs make the decision to travel North, journeys that force them into various battles with Army soldiers and deplete there tribes to nearly ten percent of their previous populations. Dull Knife and his tribe, with aims of reaching Red Cloud's agency, rebel against orders to return to their southern, buffalo-depleted reservation. Battles ensue, and Dull Knife's tribe is pursued North until the majority are killed in battle, the remaining few taking refuge at Red Cloud's reservation.[22]
The friendly relations between the Apaches and American that were once signified by the Apache allowance of American to pass through their land began to diminish as the result of the imprisonment of Chief Cochise after his tribe allegedly stole both cattle and a boy from a settler's farm. When Cochise escaped imprisonment, he and his warriors killed three white men, to which the Army responded by hanging Cochise's male family. In 1863 Cochise spends two years leading attacks on the Americans as a means to avenge the murder of another Apache chief. In 1865, after Cochise refuses a treaty designed to relocate his Chiricahua tribe to a reservation, the Apaches gradually remove themselves from contact with the white men until 1871, when a group of white, Mexican, and other Indians massacre an Apache tribe. Cochise and his tribe then retreats into the mountains until he makes an agreement for an Apache reservation in the Chiricahua Mountains and soon dies in 1874.[23]
The Apache nation becomes divided following Cochise's death and they become renowned for raiding white settler villages. The Chiricahua Apaches, absconding attempts to relocate their reservation, flee to Mexico. Victorio and his Warm Springs Apaches are removed to the San Carlos agency in 1877 until they escape to the mountains, the band killed in its entirety after making habits of killing and torturing settlers. Geronimo and his tribe leave their reservation only to return with weaponry in hopes of freeing their fellow Apaches, resulting in the stationing of Apache guerillas in Mexico. Negotiation attempts with Geronimo and the guerillas continue to take place over the next few years as alleged stories of brutalities and atrocities of the guerillas continue to circulate. In 1886 Geronimo is asked to surrender, only to flee once again before being incarcerated and sent to reservations in Florida with the remaining Chiricahua Apaches.[24]
Captain Jack, the Chief of the Modoc tribe located in Northern California, is described as a Native American friendly to the "white people" who settled in his country. Upon a larger influx of settlers and small disputes between the Modocs and settlers, a treaty was signed which relocated the Modocs to a reservation in Oregon to be shared with the Klamaths, despite Captain Jack's reluctance. Conflicts between the two tribes arose on the reservation which forced the Modocs to return South, resulting in a small battle between the tribe and an American battalion in 1872 before retreating to the California lava beds. Another group of Modocs, led by Hooker Jim, murdered 12 settlers and forced Captain Jack to lead his tribe into a battle against the American army. A peace commission arrived, led by General Canby, to begin talks with Captain Jack who eventually, under persuasion from Hooker Jim's Modocs, agreed to kill Canby should the original Modoc land not be returned to the Natives. Canby refuses the land to the Modocs and is killed by Captain Jack, who is then betrayed to the American Army by Hooker Jim and sentenced to hanging on October 3, 1873.[25]
After the Battle of Washita in 1868, General Sheridan ordered all involved to surrender at Fort Cobb, an act which is refused by the Kiowa tribe. The Kiowa chiefs are arrested and the Kiowa and Comanche people are forced onto the Fort Cobb reservation. The Kiowas and Comanches, led by Satanta and Big Tree, decide to attack the white men and kill 7 teamsters, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of the two chiefs. Lone Wolf, another Kiowa Chief, arranges for the release of the two chiefs for peace talks at Fort Sill and, ultimately, on parole in time for the Kiowa and Comanche tribes to lead an attack against the white men to preserve the buffalo in early 1874. The tribes then flee their reservations and are hunted by the American Army, only to surrender early 1875 and face exile to Florida.[26]
Despite maintaining peaceful relations with whites, the Nez Perces signed a treaty in 1863 relocating them to a small reservation in Idaho, finding insult in what Chief Joseph and his tribe designated the "thief treaty". Taking great offense to the treaty and sudden influx of gold miners and cattle farmers in their land, the tribe refused to move to the Lapwai reservation and fought the American Army at White Bird Canyon in June 1877. Winning that battle, the tribe chose to flee to Canada with Sitting Bull, losing a battle at Big Hole River in August and surrendering along the way. Some members of the tribe manage to find refuge in Canada, while those who surrendered are split between the Lapwai reservation and the Colville reservation in Washington.[27]
Despite having previously signed treaties guaranteeing their ownership of the land on the Niobrara River, the Ponca land was given in treaty to Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota tribes just before being included in 1877 on the list of tribes to be exiled to Indian Territory following Custer's loss. Chief Standing Bear was arrested along with other chiefs for refusing removal due to its violation of treaty obligations. Along with their tribes they were forced onto the Quapaw reservation, where over one quarter of their population dies before being moved further to a new reservation. Standing Bear returns to the Niobrara a takes his case to court in 1879 with the argument that he is a person protected by the Constitution. Standing Bear wins the case, but is informed by General Sherman that the case is specific to him and does not maintain validity for the other Poncas, who are forced to remain in Indian Territory.[28]
The Utes are a tribe in Colorado whose land gradually began to be encroached upon by mineral and gold miners. Chief Ouray signed a treaty in 1863 allowing settlers to mine their lands and relinquishing all mineral rights, and further signed another treaty in 1868 that allotted 16 million acres of forests and meadows in the Rockies as a personal reservation, disallowing whites from trespassing. When disputes arose, Nathan Meeker attempted to assimilate the Utes into American culture, but William Vickers opposed the idea and started "The Utes Must Go!" campaign in 1879. Vickers called on American cavalry to prevent a hostile outbreak occur amongst the Utes, to which the Utes reply by killing all of the white men at the White River agency. In 1881, as a result of outrage in regards to the White River Massacre, the Utes are removed to a marginal reservation in Utah.[29]
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was published less than three years following the establishment of AIM, the American Indian Movement, formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968. AIM moved to promote modern Native American issues and to unite America's dividing Native American population, similar to the Civil Rights and Environmental Movements that gained support at that time. The publication of Brown's book came at the height of the American Indian Movement's activism. In 1969, in AIM occupied Alcatraz Island for 19 months in hopes of reclaiming Native American land after the San Francisco Indian Center burned down.[30] In 1973, less than three years after the book's release, AIM and local Oglala and neighboring Sicangu Lakota took part in a 71-day occupation at Wounded Knee[31] in protest of the government of Richard Wilson, the chairman of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which resulted in the death of two Indians and injury of the U.S. Marshal.[32] The resulting 1974 trial ended in the dismissal of all charges due to the uncovering of various incidents of government misconduct.[33]
At the time of the publication of Brown's book, the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War. The actions of the United States Army in Vietnam were frequently criticized in the media and critics of Brown's narrative often drew comparisons between its contents and what was seen in the media. The primary comparison made was the similarity between the massacre and genocide of the Native American population in the late 19th Century as portrayed by Dee Brown's book and the 1968 massacre of hundreds of civilians in Southern Vietnam at My Lai for which twenty-five U.S. Army members were indicted. Native American author N. Scott Momaday, in his review of the narrative, agreed with the viability of the comparison, stating "Having read Mr. Brown, one has a better understanding of what it is that nags at the American conscience at times (to our everlasting credit) and of that morality which informs and fuses events so far apart in time and space as the massacres at Wounded Knee and My Lai."[34] Thirty years later, in the foreword of a modern printing of the book by Hampton Sides, it is argued that My Lai had a powerful impact on the success of Brown's narrative, as "Bury My Heart landed on America's doorstep in the anguished midst of the Vietnam War, shortly after revelations of the My Lai massacre had plunged the nation into gnawing self-doubt. Here was a book filled with a hundred My Lais, a book that explored the dark roots of American arrogance while dealing a near-deathblow to our fondest folk myth."[35]
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee received ultimately positive reviews upon its publication. TIME magazine reviewed the book saying: "In the last decade or so, after almost a century of saloon art arse operas that romanticized Indian fighters and white settlers, Americans have been developing a reasonably acute sense of the injustices and humiliations suffered by the Indians. But the details of how the West was won are not really part of the American consciousness ... Dee Brown, Western historian and head librarian at the University of Illinois, now attempts to balance the account. With the zeal of an IRS investigator, he audits U.S. history's forgotten set of books. Compiled from old but rarely exploited sources plus a fresh look at dusty Government documents, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee tallies the broken promises and treaties, the provocations, massacres, discriminatory policies and condescending diplomacy."[36] The Pulitzer-Prize winning Natve American author N. Scott Momaday noted the book contains strong documentation of original sources, such as council records and firsthand descriptions. Stating that "it is, in fact, extraordinary on several accounts," he further compliments Brown's writing by saying that "the book is a story, whole narrative of singular integrity and precise continuity; that is what makes the book so hard to put aside, even when one has come to the end."[34]
Peter Farb reviewed the book in 1971, in the New York Review of Books, writing[37] "The Indian wars were shown to be the dirty murders they were." Other critics couldn't believe the book wasn't written by a Native American and Dee Brown was a white man, as the book's Native perspective felt too real.[5] Remaining on bestseller lists for over a year following its release in hardback, the book remains in print 40 years later. Translated into at least 17 languages, it has sold nearly four million copies and remains popular today.
Despite the book's widespread acceptance by journalists and the general public, scholars such as Francis Paul Prucha criticized it for lacking sources for much of the material, except for direct quotations; he said that content was selected to present a particular point of view, rather than to be balanced; and that the narrative of government-Indian relations suffered from not being placed within the perspective of what else was occurring within the government and the country at the time.[38]
Brown was candid about his intention to present the history of the settlement of the West from the point of view of the Indians, "its victims," as he wrote. He noted, "Americans who have always looked westward when reading about this period should read this book facing eastward."[39]
HBO Films produced a made-for-television film adaptation by the same title of the Brown's book for the HBO television network. The film stars Adam Beach, Aidan Quinn, Anna Paquin, and August Schellenberg with a cameo appearance by actor and former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson as President Grant. It debuted on the HBO television network Sunday, May 27, 2007[40] and covers roughly the last two chapter of Brown's book, focusing on the narrative of the Lakota tribes leading up to the death of Sitting Bull and the Massacre at Wounded Knee.[41] The film received 17 Primetime Emmy nominations and went on to win six awards, including the category of Outstanding Made For Television Movie.[42] It also garnered nominations for three Golden Globe Awards, two Satellite Awards, and one Screen Actors Guild Award.
Bestselling author of Lincoln's Last Days, Dwight Jon Zimmerman adapted Brown's book for children in his work entitled The Saga of the Sioux. The narrative focuses only on the Sioux tribe as the representatives of the story told in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, written from the perspective of the Sioux chiefs and warriors from 1860 to the events at the Massacre at Wounded Knee. The book includes copious photographs, illustrations, and maps in support of the narrative and to appeal to its middle school demographic.[43]

by Corey Pronman
A number of prospects drafted in 2011 went unsigned, but a few could get picked again in the 2013 draft. Frederik Andersen is a good example of a player like that. He was a 7th round pick by Carolina in 2010, was picked by Anaheim in the 3rd round in 2012, and has emerged as a top goaltending prospect.
Brenden Kichton, Defense, 5th round pick in 2011 by NYI (Spokane-WHL):
Kichton was named the WHL Defenseman of the Year in his overage year after being a runner up last season. The former Islander prospect was my #13 prospect in the NYI system last summer, an organization that I ranked 2nd and classified as very deep. A report by Arthur Staples said Kichton turned down an offer from the Islanders.
Kichton is a very talented offensive defenseman. He's been above a point per game in the WHL for the last three seasons. His skating is solid with notable above-average puck handling and puck moving abilities. He also displays a fine on-ice work ethic. The issues with Kichton are he's a tad undersized and his defensive game remains underwhelming. He has top four defenseman upside, but if his own end play never comes around, he could potentially be a specialist.
Ranking: Mid 3rd round
Alan Quine, Left Wing, 3rd round pick in 2011 by DET (Belleville-OHL):
Quine was considered a toolsy player at the time of the draft who was a bit of a project. He had mono at the start of the season but then right around midseason after he was traded to Belleville everything started to click for him.
Quine is a player with above-average to high end speed and puck skills with a fair amount of competitiveness. He's small and his defensive coverage certainly needs a fair amount of work. However this is a player who if he pans out has the tools to be a top six forward if he can play in a pro level coaching system and handle the physical game. He's shown this season in the OHL that he has the ability with the puck to make all sorts of plays. My suspicion is due to how close Detroit is next year to the 50 contract limit played a part into the decision to not sign Quine.
Ranking: Late 2nd/early 3rd round
Zach Yuen, Defense, 4th round pick in 2011 by WPG (Tri-City-WHL):
Yuen is a solid, safe low upside prospect but one who does have a decent chance to be an NHLer. He played a ton of minutes in the WHL this year in all situations, but at the top level he projects more as a 3rd pairing defensive defenseman. Yuen skates at an above-average level, shows a fine level of work ethic, and tends to make good decisions with his reads. He's limited with the puck. He's not a horrible offensive player, but certainly not an NHL power play option down the line but can make a decent first pass.
Yuen was my #12 prospect for the Jets in the rankings I posted last summer.
Ranking: 5th-6th round

Jason HihnOct 10 2012: Well the choice of candidates is usually depressing, especially here in America where the two-party system is maintained to shut out 3rd parties. I cannot believe that Mit Romney is the best candidate the Republican party can find, or if not talent even the most electable. The same goes for Obama.
I propose we allow people to vote "none of the above" and if "none of the above" collects more votes than the above combined, we take the person with the most write-in votes. That would get people out to vote. Micky Mouse is generally the most written-in name, though I think Neil Degrass Tyson has a chance to beat it this year.
Also, this whole electoral college thing keeps people apathetic. My state always votes democratic. I have no reason to vote for the presidency. However, mix that up with a popular count, and no one can rest easy that their state will go one way or the other.
There are some efforts underway t get Instant Runoff Voting methods in my state, which should also make it more exciting as well.

Physics Department Master's Defense, "Multi-wavelength characterization of cadmium telluride solar cell: Development of Q-EBIC and NSOM measurement techniques," by Anthony G. Gianfrancesco, WPI Physics Graduate Student
Science / Technology - Colloquium
Monday, April 8, 2013
Olin Hall
Thin-film inorganic solar cells, such as CdTe, have demonstrated the most promise to date for a viable low-cost renewable energy resource. Their current performance, however, is far from the theoretical limit suffering from significant charge recombina- tion losses due to grain boundaries and point defects. It is likely that the microscopic compositions of grain bulk and grain boundaries are significantly different and not optimal for the overall device performance. Good understanding of charge transport along and across the grain boundaries and other microscopic interfaces is lacking, pre- venting the development of reliable and predictive device models. The insufficient microscopic understanding hinders efficient characterization of photovoltaic materials and also holds back the development of process control techniques. We first show pre- liminary results for a novel technique, quantum-dot electron-beam induced current to characterize semiconductors in the near-field. We also propose the use of near-field optical scanning microscopy for high precision optical excitation and for local, high- resolution characterization. These imaging techniques are examined with the goal of synthesizing information obtained by both methods, of material phenomena at the rel- evant length scales, to other measurement methods. The most important nanoscale phenomena being the separation of compositional and electrical effects.

A trip at the Urology clinic, nice surprise Part 2
As she came closer I noticed that she wore little makeup but looked like she had some on. I could also smell the perfume, a light floral scent and it filled my nostrils as she rolled the stool towards me. The top 2 buttons of her lab coat were undone

In Duryea, 10,000 years of history was dealt a setback in one evening of intentional destruction.
What is believed to be a group of vandals ransacked an archaeological dig overlooking the confluence of the Lackawanna and Susquehanna rivers, upending three decades of work by a combination of professional and amateur archeologists.
Al Pesotine, of the Frances Dorrance Chapter of the Society of Pennsylvania Archaeology, is saddened by the destruction and perplexed as to the motive.
"Whoever did this, did it with a vengeance - a meanness," he said of the damage to the site known as the Conrail Research Site. Read more.
BELL COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Officials say vandals are damaging historical artifacts used in the Civil War that are on display at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park.
Park Rangers are now using surveillance cameras to catch those responsible.
The cannon on top of the Pinnacle in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is part of history.
"The gun tube itself was used in the Civil War. We're talking a real artifact here, not just some decoration," said Chief Ranger Dirk Wiley.
Chief Ranger Wiley says some people are vandalizing the part of history. People are carving initials, names, even profanity into it.
"These are tangible links to our past and it's very disrespectful to do that to all the soldiers who lost their lives in this conflict," said Martha Wiley, the Park Historian. Read more.
MALE, Maldives — Nearly a week after vandals stormed into the National Museum here and destroyed almost 30 Buddhist statues — some dating back to the sixth century — the broken glass has been swept away and the remnants have been locked up. But officials say the loss to this island nation's archaeological legacy can never be made up.
Amid the recent political turmoil that has racked this tiny Indian Ocean nation of 1,200 islands, a half dozen men stormed into the museum last Tuesday and ransacked a collection of coral and lime figures, including a six-faced coral statue and a one-and-a-half-foot wide representation of the Buddha's head. Officials said the men attacked the figures because they believed they were idols and illegal under Islamic and national laws.
There were contradictory reports about whether suspects had been arrested. Mr. Waheed said five men were caught at the museum but a spokesman for the police, Ahmed Shiyam, said on Monday that investigators were still collecting evidence and had not made arrests. Read more.
All across Texas, the bones of history lie in watery graves. From the ribs of sunken ships to the grave sites of prehistoric Texans, uncounted treasures abound beneath the surface of rivers and lakes. For state archaeologists, these sites are untapped treasures — hard to reach but relatively protected.
But now, with the state in the grip of devastating drought, such sites are emerging from receding waters and — for the first time in years, experts worry — becoming vulnerable to looters and vandals.
Since midsummer, the Texas Historical Commission, which oversees such locations, has on average learned of a newly exposed site each month, said Pat Mercado-Allinger, the agency's archaeology director.
Among the sites are four cemeteries, including an apparent slave burial ground in Navarro County, southeast of Dallas. In Central Texas, fishermen recovered a human skull thought to be thousands of years old. Read more.
WELLINGTON, Carbon County — A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered to capture and convict vandals who defaced the "First Canyon Site" rock art panel in Nine Mile Canyon.
The "First Canyon Site" rock art site was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its importance to the prehistory of Nine Mile Canyon. The BLM says vandals built a campfire under the site, staining the art panel. They also used charcoal from the campfire to write graffiti on the panel. The damage to the rock art site was reported to the BLM by Price residents in early September.
Nine Mile Canyon is world-renowned for its high concentration of rock art sites and is often called the world's longest art gallery.
"Although the rock art in Nine Mile canyon has survived hundreds of years, it is very delicate. Restoring rock art sites after deliberate vandalism is a complex, difficult process, and not always possible," said Patricia Clabaugh, manager of the BLM's Price Field Office. Read more.
TUCSON - The Bureau of Land Management says that five young adults convicted of defacing a prehistoric American Indian site outside of Tucson have been fined more than $43,000 and sentenced to five years of probation.
The agency said Monday that the five people from Sahuarita, who range in age from 20 to 23, were sentenced in federal court after pleading guilty to defacing an archaeological resource in June.
Each was fined about $7,800 while a juvenile involved was ordered to pay $4,000 in restitution.
The archaeological site is known as Indian Kitchen. The site, southeast of Tucson, was first used by members of prehistoric Hohokam culture to grind grain on bedrock.
The BLM says that spray paint is still visible on the rocks because some of the damage cannot be fixed. (source)
Three historic monuments have been attacked by vandals in the Italian capital, Rome.
In the first attack, a man was caught on security cameras chipping two pieces off a marble statue on a fountain in the Piazza Navona.
Hours later tourists watched as a man threw a rock at the famous Trevi Fountain in the centre of the city.
Police then said they caught an American student scaling a wall of the Colosseum to chip off pieces of marble.
The fountain in the Piazza Navona is a 19th Century reproduction of a much earlier group of statues - now in a museum for safekeeping. It was not seriously damaged.
Police say the attacker could be the same individual who threw the rock at the Trevi monument - of Three Coins in the Fountain movie fame. Read more.
VANDALS have toppled a wall at Burgh Castle's magnificent Roman Fort that has stood firm since the third century and witnessed immense changes.
Despite mounting regular patrols at the tranquil beauty spot, which has become a haven for anti-social behaviour over the summer key keeper, John Russell discovered the "appalling" attack last week.
But Mr Russell, who lives nearby, said he did not suspect the rowdy youngsters who congregate there, leaving a trail of bottles and litter, but rather thought it was down to two or three teenagers messing about.
He said: "My wife and I walked around the fort in the afternoon and it was lovely and sunny and there were families picnicking. "I went out again at around 10pm to check there was no-one misbehaving, and I found part of the wall had been pushed over. I was appalled."
Dr Peter Wade-Martins, director of Norfolk Archaeological Trust which owns the site, said the section was probably only two or three feet high but was in the right position, as it had been for centuries. Read more.

How to Wager
State the number of the race that you would like to wager on.
State the DOLLAR AMOUNT of your wager.
State the TYPE OF WAGER you wish to make (Win, Place, Show, Trifecta, etc. ).
State the NUMBER of the horse or horses from the program, on which you wish to bet.
Example: "I would like to make a wager at Tampa Bay Downs, Race 2." "I would like to bet $2 to win on number 3." "Please give me a $2 Exacta, 7 and 3."
Remember to check your tickets and count your money before leaving the window, and always keep your tickets until the race is declared OFFICIAL.
Then, if you are a winner, go to any pari-mutuel window and collect your winnings!
Types of Wagers
Win - When you bet a horse to win, you win if your horse finishes first.
Place - When you bet a horse to place, you win if your horse finishes first or second.
Show - When you bet a horse to show, you win if your horse finishes first, second or third.
Daily Double - To win the Daily Double, you must choose the winners of two races. Wagers must be placed prior to the first race of the Daily Double.
Exacta - To win an exacta bet, you must choose the two horses finishing first and second in exact order.
Trifecta - You must choose the first three finishers in their exact order.
Superfecta - You must choose the first four finishers in their exact order.
High-5 - You must pick the first five finishers in their exact order. There will be two High-5 wagers daily with a carryover if it's not hit.
Pick-3 - You must choose the winner of three consecutive races. Wagers must be placed before the first of the three races.
Pick-4 - You must choose the winner of four consecutive races. Wagers must be placed before the first of the four races.
Pick-5 - You must choose the winner of five consecutive races. Wagers must be placed before the first of the five races. If the Pick-5 is not hit, Tampa Bay Downs pays out for four correct picks! Because of the sheer difficulty of successfully choosing five straight winners, plus the large number of betting interests, it is common for there to be no winning wager on all five races. When that happens, the five-winner portion of the pool carries over to the following program, and continues to carry over until it is won. This allows the "carryover pool" to grow to large sums. The Pick-5 pool is also paid out in its entirety on a designated date, such as the last day of a race meet; if there are no five-winner tickets, then the pool is split among four-winner tickets.
Horse Racing Terms

High rushing water in southern Kentucky led to the deaths of three people according to the Whitley County Coroner.
It happened in a creek just west of Williamsburg, off Kentucky 92, on Newman Campbell Road during a flash flood.
Whitley County Coroner Andy Croley said the Jellico Creek was about eight or nine feet higher than normal during the flash flood.
He doesn't think it was that high when the family drove through the water but he says even a couple inches can sweep a car away.
Shannon L. Kier, 39, his wife Susan Kay Kier, 29, and their son Lee Isaac Patrick Kier, 2, all of Jacksboro, Tenn. were pronounced dead at 10:35 Saturday morning by Croley.
Croley said the Kier's were driving to meet family on Friday when their vehicle was swept away by the Jellico Creek.
Their bodies were found in a submerged vehicle downstream when the creek receded.
Family members first started looking for the three victims when they didn't show up for plans.
Croley said this is a tragic situation and family members tell ABC 36 they are still in shock with what has happened.

The Town of Tulsa's Neighborhood Dumpster Program is a serviceavailable to neighborhood associations that are registered to performneighborhood cleanup actions. Participating groups can make useof 10′ x 25′ x 6′ containers a year to dispose of eligible family itemstwice. Please understand that the City of Tulsa has only onedriver and one truck to set and pick up the dumpsters for theentire city.
Apartment buildings, many companies, schools, offices, and industrial sites have more or one dumpsters to keep the waste they create. Dumpsters are emptied by front-loading garbage trucks These trucks have big prongs on the front which are aligned and fit into arms (or slots) on the dumpster. Hydraulics subsequently lift the prongs and the dumpster, eventually turning the dumpster upside-down and emptying its contents into the truck's hopper (storage compartment).
Put a sign in a conspicuous location near it warning people to not put it to use, if you're concerned with other people using your rental dumpster. This can help cut down on the quantity of foreign waste being put into your dumpster. There are certain substances which are prohibited from being deposited into it when it comes to managing a rental dumpster.

Summertime means family vacations and day trips around the Four States, but police say that can mean an increase in burglaries and theft.
The Pittsburg Police Department says it sometimes gets multiple break-ins during a single night in the summer.
Police want to remind residents that there are several things you can do to help prevent theft, including:
"Somebody can find out you're gone, so we don't recommend that people post that they're going places," says Sgt. Chris Moore of the Pittsburg Police Department. "When you get back - 'hey, had a great time here' - post all your pictures. But while you're gone don't tell people. You'll just make yourself an easy target."

Borderites send 11 to state wrestling tournament
Blaine is sending one of the strongest teams ever to the state wrestling tournament this week, to be held Friday and Saturday, February 20 and 21, at the Tacoma Dome. Coach Craig foster is taking 11 wrestlers, six of whom won their divisions at last weekend's regional tournament. Held here in Blaine, the Borderites won the 14-team regional battle for the second year in a row and are a good bet to at least equal last year's second place finish at the state tournament.
Alex Pennington (160) won his weight division for the first time in his career. Competing against Burlington's Corey Kleppe, the two wrestled to a scoreless tie after two periods.
Pennington led 2-1 at 1:27 of the third period but Kleppe came back with a two-point escape to lead 3-2 with 57 seconds left. Pennington went after him at that point, scoring a 2 point escape with 19 seconds left and then riding him out for the 4-3 victory.
Other Blaine wrestlers winning their divisions included Jacob Humphrey (119), Tony Jordan (125), D.J. Duncan (135), Tyson Foster (140) and Darrell Price (215).
Jeremy Holdaas (215) DQ'ed against Zach Jones of Granite Falls, finishing third and missing a chance to wrestle team mate Darrell Price for the 215-pound title.
Blaine junior A.J. Pieczynski (145) finished fifth in his division and will go to Tacoma as an alternate.

Topic - Rock shoe advice for an injured foot.
GregGray on 12 Dec 2012
After being injured in a climbing accident last September I am recovering well ready to get begin getting back into the sport. I am now looking for a pair of shoes that will all me to do so. Considering my injuries- I now have a rod in my tibia, a skin graft over the front of my ankle, and a broken toe that has set wonky, I am looking for the following in a pair rock shoes:
• The residual swelling will take 6 to 12 months to subside so really I am looking for a left size 8 and a right 8.5 or even 9.
• My smallest toe a reset its self quite badly meaning it sticks out a bit, a shoe with room to allow for this would be more comfortable
• Something that will cover more of my ankle and avoided rubbing on the fragile grafted skin. Show in the photos:
Im considering something like the evolve astroman, La sportive TC pro or the five ten grandstone.
Expense is another consideration, (student budget)
Does anyone have any experience of similar cases or advice of which companies to approach first?
Even suitable second had shoes would be worth considering.
Any helpful advice is appreciated!

As of Thursday, October 11, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
On Oct. 4 Barbara Knowles ran a feature article regarding my husband James B. Vargo's continued battle with gastroparesis, the health issues, and mounting medical costs which have overwhelmed our family.
Our sale ran Saturday at the Antiques and Stuff Mall location in Covington, and it was amazing how many wonderful people came by to pray with us, make a donation or just offer a word of encouragement.
We met a number of people who are struggling with this debilitating illness, not at the same degree that Jim's is, but still understanding fully what the battles are.
We raised a little money, and more importantly, we raised Jim's spirits immensely, so much so that he insisted on staying the entire day and wore himself out!
We thank the Newton Citizen and Barbara Knowles for their support and care.
The Bank of America James B. Vargo Fund is open and will continue to stay open, and we are hoping to have his surgery date scheduled within the next 30 days.
Thank you all so very much!
-- Kathryn and
James B. Vargo

In this refreshingly whimsical animated tale, a bored Moon Man hitches a ride to Earth on the tails of a passing comet and starts to explore the fantastical creatures and sights of a new planet. But all is not well. The Moon Man's absence from his post means that all the world's children are unable to sleep. Before the President can capture him, they must join forces to return him to his rightful place in the sky. Based on Tomi Ungerer's famous picture book. In English.

It may be hard to decide if you are in labor. During the last months of pregnancy, your uterus will contract (tighten) as it prepares for labor. These are called Braxton-Hicks contractions and are not usually painful. True active labor contractions usually are painful, and you may not be able to talk or move during them. Time how far apart contractions are (from the start of one contraction to the start of the next one). Also, time how long each contraction lasts.
If you are having contractions every five minutes, call your health care provider.
You should call your health care provider immediately if you think that your water has broken, with either a large gush of fluid or just a small trickle. Note the time when the fluid began leaking, the color of the fluid, and the amount.
Pinkish spotting (bloody show) may be normal after 37 weeks, particularly after you have had a vaginal exam, have had sex, or are in early labor. If you experience bright red bleeding that stains your panties or requires that you wear a sanitary pad, you should call your health care provider.
Your baby should continue to move regularly. As the baby gets bigger, movement may change to more kicking and less whole body movement. If you do not feel regular movement, you need to call your healthcare provider.
During labor, your uterus (which is made up of muscles) will tighten and relax. This causes your cervix to open. Once the cervix is fully open (dilated), you will start to push the baby down through the birth canal.
Every labor is different, but labor usually starts out slowly, with cramps. The cramps become strong and closer together. As you become more uncomfortable, you can try different ways to help make labor go smoothly.
Your amniotic sac (bag of water) may break on its own before or during labor. Sometimes, your health care provider may decide to break the bag of water if it has not broken on its own. This is not any more uncomfortable than a vaginal exam. The amniotic fluid may feel warm as it leaks out. The fluid will continue to leak during labor. Your contractions may or may not feel stronger to you after your water has broken. You may need to wear a sanitary pad if you are out of bed or walking.
We have everything in place to help ensure that your baby gets a healthy start, and that your childbirth memories are happy ones.

His message, unfortunately, was prophetic.
"You're gonna kill me — I'm going to be dead," Jim Sachs told Utah highway officials, referring to the Common Cents gas station he owned on 12300 South near Interstate 15 in Draper. He worried a first-in-Utah, complicated "ThrU Turn" intersection would make reaching his store from the freeway too difficult.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"No one will want to make two U-turns to get to his station," a written record of his phone call in late 2010 says. The new design requires such complex moves, instead of a single left turn. The record adds, "Common Cents just bought out the Flying J in Draper within the last three weeks. They were not aware of the plans to put in the ThrU Turn and are very upset."
Within a year after the new $5 million ThrU Turn was installed, the gas station indeed closed. But next to the abandoned store, severe traffic congestion has largely disappeared, and the traffic flows much more quickly at the intersection with Minuteman Drive.
These developments sharply illustrate the arguments for and against what is turning out to be a controversial intersection design. UDOT says ThrU Turns — called Michigan U-turns in other areas of the nation — are a great tool to speed traffic, but nearby businesses say it kills customer access. They have filled UDOT correspondence files with tales of struggle and worry.
"You could put up walls along the road with no access and you would have great flow-through. But that's not what it's all about. You need a balance of convenience to the consumer and also flow," Paul Hitzelberger, who owns a Del Taco on 12300 South, said in an interview. He owns 25 other Del Taco restaurants but says only the Draper store struggles lately because of the ThrU Turn.
Design » The unusual design of the ThrU Turn gives many businesses heartburn. It has been used at just two intersections so far, at 12300 South and Minuteman in Draper, and at 5400 South and 4015 West in Kearns.
It does not allow any left turns at the main intersection. Motorists wanting to turn left must go straight through the intersection and make a U-turn at a special intersection with a signal a few hundred feet down the road.
Drivers then must return to the main intersection and make a right turn to end up traveling in the desired direction.
Alternatively, drivers could also turn right at the main intersection, and then make a U-turn to return to the main intersection in the desired direction.
Robert Miles, UDOT traffic operations engineer, said ThrU Turns were selected in Draper and Kearns because they could relieve congestion while avoiding removing businesses at the crowded intersections for widening and could avoid even more expensive options such as building bridges.
He acknowledges they make drivers think differently.
"It looks significantly different. The order in which you make the movements for a left turn is different," he said. "To make a left, you make a right — or you go through the intersection and make a U-turn and come back and make a right."
Complicating matters is that the design adds a physical median between the main intersection and the U-turn intersections — preventing left turns across the road into businesses.
That means to get to some businesses, such as the closed Common Cents store, drivers must make two U-turns from some directions.
From the freeway to Common Cents, "You have to go through the intersection to do a U-turn to do a right turn to then do a U-turn to do another right turn," Hitzelberger of Del Taco said. "There's an expectation that people will do that. Well, they won't."
Traffic » A study for UDOT by Avenue Consultants says the ThrU Turn in Draper has helped to dramatically reduce congestion there. UDOT has yet to do such a study in Kearns because of some ongoing lane construction.
"The ThrU Turn reduces the average delay per vehicle at the intersection [in Draper] from 46 seconds to an average of 16 seconds," the study says. Consumer savings — in time and gasoline — are estimated at $1.25 million for the first year.
UDOT spokesman Adan Carrillo said the design change also helped solve a safety concern in the area.Next Page >

Vital advice service also needs help
12:00pm Thursday 11th October 2012 in News By Emma Harrison
A VITAL community advice centre needs more staff and more room because of the rising number of cases it is dealing with.
The Rose Hill and Donnington Advice Centre in Ashhurst Way helped 1,619 people from April 2011 to March 2012, up from 1,489 from April 2010 to March 2011.
Staff have already helped 931 people between April and August this year.
The centre provides confidential and free advice to people in Rose Hill about debt, budgeting, benefits, mortgage payments and other financial concerns.
Centre director Carole Roberts said: "We are seeing more and more local people coming through our door who urgently need help to deal with debt and other financial problems.
"Although we are grateful for financial support from local councils and other sources, we really need additional funds to make sure we can keep up with rising demand.
She added: "I think people are finding it more difficult to manage their money.
"It is about money management and the fact that benefits are being cut and people are unemployed now, it is a big problem. We are struggling at the moment and we need another member of staff – but there is no money."
Staff at the centre have organised a fundraising walk on Saturday and are encouraging other walkers to join them.
Mrs Roberts said: "I hope we will have a good turnout for our fundraising walk this year and raise much-needed funds."
She said the money raised from the walk will help towards the cost of a new £4,500 interview room for the centre.
The walk starts at the church hall in Church Way, Iffley, at 2pm and will follow a route taking in the Thames towpath Donnington Bridge, Magdalen Bridge and Folly Bridge.
A shorter route is available for those with limited mobility and small children.
To take part contact Helen Foreman at firstname.lastname@example.com or the advice centre on 01865 438634.

Hero Ventures has unveiled concept art of the 2-acre domed complex for The Marvel Experience, its $30 million interactive tour set to launch in the spring.
Announced in August, the traveling attraction is characterized as a "first-person superhero adventure," with audiences becoming part of the action through state-of-the-art multimedia technology, including a 4D motion ride and 3D-animated features.
The Marvel Experience is designed to resemble a S.H.I.E.L.D. mobile command center, with the Dome reach more than six stories in height. Inside, there will be a maze of connected domes that lead guests through interactive games and original animated short films that lead to the centerpiece, the motion ride.

Occupy Denver Wins Westword's #WebAward
November 17, 2011 in Media, Press, Uncategorized
Thank you, Westword, for bestowing a #WebAward for Best Social or Political Campaign unto Occupy Denver. We most graciously and humbly accept this recognition.
Occupy Denver is Denver's Best Social or Political Campaign.
With no tents or structures allowed and regular run-ins with the police, it would be understandable if Occupy Denver struggled to keep the world updated on the movement. But that's hardly the case: The group has occupied Twitter, Facebook and its own easy-to-use website since the beginning of its reign downtown, and all three provide a functional, readily comprehensible approach to a city that the Daily Beast recently voted the angriest in America.

TAUNTON, MA- Clothing bins in Taunton are for donated items but they've become personal dumps. Today, a few people wanted to see the trash for themselves.
"It's disgusting. Do you throw trash on your mother's kitchen floor?"
"They were originally in the front of the building and they got busted open and dragged back here and opened back here."
The informal dump has been behind an abandoned building located off Porter Street for weeks and it's attracting people inside, and out.
These donation bins say they only take toys, shoes and clothing but we found a mattress, empty plastic bottles and glass.
Roger Caramelo can see the garbage from his business across the street.
Caramelo said, "I've seen bottles with needles in 'em. You know people cross through here to go to the medical center and they could step on something and get hurt or you know, catch something."
Just a few blocks away, in the Grampy store parking lot sits another donation bin with yet another pile.
Taunton City Councilman, Daniel Barbour said, "Many of these companies just set up shop. They make a profit and people think they're donating for charity and they disappear and then all you see behind me is just liter."
Barbour says it's the property owner's responsibility to keep it clean.
Grampy's Store Owner, Alie Soufan said, "It looks terrible on my property."
Soufan says the bin owners clean the area once a week yet people keep bringing the trash back.
He said he would call the bin owners today to have it cleared.
