Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre
Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre
Louis Tikas was a union organizer killed in the battle between striking coal miners and state militia in Ludlow, Colorado, in 1914. In Buried Unsung he stands for a whole generation of immigrant workers who, in the years before World War I, found themselves caught between the realities of industrial America and their aspirations for a better life.

African Americans on the Western Frontier
During the last half of the nineteenth century, several thousand African Americans moved to the American western frontier. Before the Civil War, some went west to California as slaves of gold miners and to Utah as slaves of Mormons. Later, free black men joined the U.S. Army and served in frontier outposts while others were hired on as cowboys on western ranches and cattle trails. Once Reconstruction ended in the South, discrimination and segregation caused more African Americans to seek better opportunities elsewhere where prejudice was less evident.

The significant role played by African Americans in the settlement and development of the West has largely been ignored and neglected until now. African Americans on the Western Frontier remedies that historic neglect with fifteen essays that explore the contributions that African American men and women made to the western frontier-as miners, homesteaders, town builders, entrepreneurs, and as ordinary, civic-minded citizens. This rich and diverse story of the African American western experience during the frontier era is for scholars and students of western history as well as anyone interested in African American history, and is an important work for all Americans to read.

Voting Question: WHat is the population of Colorado?

Resolved Question: What would you add to this?
The topic is 'How does damming the Colorado River affect the Grand Canyon?'; The multiple dams surrounding the Grand Canyon have held the Colorado River like a closely monitored aquarium. The canyon has had to adjust to these obstructions for many years. For example, there has been increased algae growth, a change in fish population, and all the vegetation has caused the return of beavers. Insects, birds, and reptiles have all been affected due to the changes in the river?s content, temperature, and flow. Leisure or recreational use of the Canyon is different as well. Thousands of people who raft down the river each year now have difficulty making it through the rapids because of debris floating in the water. River beaches wash away due to the trapping of soil and rock behind the dam. The Colorado River has been transformed into some sort of plumbing system and scientists are hard at work trying to do something about this catastrophe. Help?! (more...)

Resolved Question: AP Statistics help please!?
Im having a bit of a hard time with a few questions on my homework. Here is somthing similar to what i need help with: (thank you for your help!) I already answered my homework but i really want to double check with other peoples answers 1.A health magazine presented results of a recent study that analyzed data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2000. Results reveal that for both men and women in the United States, heart disease remains the number one killer, victimizing 500,000 people annually. Age, obesity, and inactivity all contribute to heart disease, and all three of these factors vary considerably from one location to the next. The highest mortality rates (deaths per 100,000 people) were reported in New York, Florida, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, whereas the lowest were reported in Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. -What is the population? -What is the sample? -Is the study descriptive or inferential in nature? Explain. -Is the study observational or experimental -What are the variables? -what level of measurement was used to obtain data from the variables? -Classify all the variables of the study as either attribute or numerical. -What parameter best characterizes the risk for each member of the population thank you so much for any help in advanced!

Resolved Question: Is Bush responsible for Orca whales starving to death?
7 Orca whales from Puegot Sound are feared dead, and the likely cause is starvation. The salmon population is down due to pollution, global warming, and mismanagement of the rivers. Just as with economics, the ecosystem relies on the smallest creatures like plankton to fuel the fish, who fuel bigger fish and seals, which fuel the fat cat Orcas. This is just another example of how the trickle down philosophy ends up hurting the biggest fish. It is reported that Bush wants to grant uranium mining in the Grand Canyon before he leaves office, which is where the Colorado River runs thru. This not only effects more fish populations and more ecosystems, but its also the drinking water for 3 major cities and our very own fat cats....us Ruth, a typical Bush supporter would say radical enviromentalist without ever watching the news. Did you see the scientists report who studied the Pacific krill count? Everyone wondered what happened to the famous San Francisco seal population, and it was concluded that warming waters depeted nutrients, which depleted krill, which depleted fish, which depleted salmon, which is why the seals left. Im so disgusted at people like you...the uninformed people who slander anyone who reads. (more...)

Resolved Question: Why did John McCain say he is okay with gay marriage?
A prominent Christian leader whose radio and magazine outreaches are solidly in support of biblically-based marriages ? and keeps in touch with millions of constituents daily ? says he cannot consider Arizona Sen. John McCain a viable candidate for president. "Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances," said James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization set up specifically to provide a platform for informing and rallying constituents. Dobson, who always is careful to note that he's not speaking for the non-profit ministry, which cannot advocate for or against candidates legally, also doesn't hesitate to state his personal opinions on social or political issues and agendas. Several times he's talked to Republicans, the traditionally conservative political party, about the need to maintain the values of that large part of the U.S. population, or lose the support of those people. His most recent comments came during an interview on the Jerry Johnson Live program on KCBI 90.9 FM. The show host noted that pro-family conservatives already are thinking about the next cycle of leadership in the United States, which will be determined in the 2008 presidential and congressional elections. He also noted that McCain and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani appear to be the leaders. Then he asked Dobson to listen to a statement from McCain and respond. "I think, uh ? I think that gay marriage should be allowed if there's a ceremony kind of thing, if you wanna call it that ? I don't have any problem with that," McCain says. "Dr. Dobson, would you be comfortable with someone like John McCain as the ? conservative or Republican candidate for president?" Johnson asked. "Well, let me say that I am not in the office. I'm in the little condo so I can speak for myself and not for Focus on the Family," Dobson said in rejecting McCain's leadership. He noted that legislation he'd just been discussing on the program, regarding an attempt by Democrat leaders in Congress to create obstacles for ministries such as Focus to reach constituents with action messages about pending legislation, is being supported by McCain, too. "That came from McCain, and the McCain Feingold Bill kept us from telling the truth right before elections ? and there are a lot of other things. He's not in favor of traditional marriage, and I pray that we won't get stuck with him," Dobson said. The provisions of the new congressional proposal, hidden deep inside a plan to reform lobbying rules to eliminate the many recent scandals involving members of Congress, would require pro-family groups to provide documentation of their actions to the government any time they try to spark any "grass-roots" action. Phone calls, personal visits, e-mails, magazines, broadcasts, phone banks, appearances, travel, fundraising and other items all would be subject to government tabulation, verification and audits, Dobson said during a recent program. "On and on it goes." "Clearly, the objective here is to hide what goes on from the public and punish and silence those of us who would talk about what our representatives are doing," Dobson said of the plan by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev. American Family Association Chairman Donald Wildmon, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and American Values President Gary Bauer joined Dobson in urging listeners to flood Capitol Hill with phone calls demanding those speech limits be removed. Bauer said the telephone number to call is: 202-224-3121. Focus also has begun an online petition, at Focuspetitions.com. Wildmon characterized the Washington proposal as a message to the American public: "We don't want to hear from you, and this is the way we're going to handle it." Dobson also earlier scolded Republicans for blaming the 2006 election victories by Democrats in many races across the country on conservatives. "Dick Armey emerged from four years in the wilderness to blame conservative Christians for Tuesday's defeat. They were, he said, 'too involved' with the party. He can't be serious! Someone should tell him that without the support of that specific constituency, John Kerry would be president and the Republicans would have fallen into a black hole in '04," Dobson said in a story WND reported earlier. "Values Voters are not going to carry the water for the Republican Party if it ignores their deeply held convictions and beliefs," he said. "Republican leaders in Congress during this term apparently never understood, or they forgot, why Ronald Reagan was so loved and why he is considered one of our greatest presidents. If they hope to return to power in '08, they must rediscover the conservative principles that resonated with the majority of Americans in the 1980s ? and still resonate with them today. Failure to do so will be catastrophic," Dobson said. (more...)

Resolved Question: you might be from Southern California if? and what is the best thing about San Diego?
Southern California, or So Cal, is defined as the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Its population centers on the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura. The region is home to over 23 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, behind only the BosWash Region in the Northeastern United States. There is no official definition for the northern boundary of Southern California. However, most definitions in use include all the land south of the Tehachapi Mountains, located about 70 miles (113 km) north of Los Angeles. On the west of Southern California lies the Pacific Ocean; to the south is the international border between the United States and Mexico; to the east are the Mojave and Colorado Deserts and the Colorado River at the state's border with Arizona and Nevada. Southern California is also divided into the Coastal Region (Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Santa Barbara County, and Ventura County) and the larger, more sparsely populated, desert Inland Empire (San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Imperial County). The division between the Coastal Regions and the Inland Empire winds along the backs of the coastal mountain ranges such as the Santa Ana Mountains. A related geographical term is cismontane Southern California, which refers to the portion of California on the coastal side of the Transverse and Peninsular mountain ranges. The term "Southern California" often refers to this region specifically, as opposed to largely desert areas comprising the rest of the southern portion of the state, which are referred to as transmontane Southern California. San Diego (pronounced /?sændi?e?go?/) is a coastal Southern California city located in the southwestern corner of the continental United States. In 2007, the city's population was estimated to be 1,266,731.[1] It is the second largest city in California and the eighth largest city in the United States, by population. It is the county seat of San Diego County.[2] and is the economic center of the San Diego?Carlsbad?San Marcos metropolitan area, the 17th-largest in the United States with a population of 3,146,274 as of 2008, and the 21st-largest metropolitan area in the Americas when including Tijuana (See San Diego-Tijuana Metro.). San Diego County lies just north of the Mexican border?sharing a border with Tijuana?and lies south of Orange County. It is home to miles of beaches, a mild Mediterranean climate and 16 military facilities hosting the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard and the United States Marine Corps. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center promotes research in biotechnology.[citation needed] San Diego's economy is largely composed of agriculture, biotechnology/biosciences, computer sciences, electronics manufacturing, defense-related manufacturing, financial and business services, ship-repair and construction, software development, telecommunications, and tourism. The city of San Diego itself has deep canyons separating its mesas, creating small pockets of natural parkland scattered throughout the city. The same canyons give parts of the city a highly segmented feel, creating literal gaps between otherwise proximal neighborhoods and contributing to a low-density, car-centered built environment. Downtown San Diego is located on San Diego Bay. Balboa Park lies on a mesa to the northeast. It is surrounded by several dense urban communities and abruptly ends in Hillcrest to the north. The Coronado and Point Loma peninsulas separate San Diego Bay from the ocean. Ocean Beach is on the west side of Point Loma. Mission Beach and Pacific Beach lie between the ocean and Mission Bay, a man-made aquatic park. La Jolla, an affluent community, lies north of Pacific Beach. Mount Soledad in La Jolla offers views from northern San Diego County to Mexico. Mountains rise to the east of the city, and beyond the mountains are desert areas. Cleveland National Forest is a half-hour drive from downtown San Diego. Numerous farms are found in the valleys northeast and southeast of the city. San Diego County has one of the highest counts of animal and plant species that appear on the endangered species list among counties in the United States.[3] (more...)

Resolved Question: "HISPANICS could put Obama over the top!? HUH?
Here is another little nugget of nonsense from msnbc.com. "If Barack Obama goes on to win the election, there will be plenty of ink and video spent on chronicling the historic nature of the turnout among young voters and African-Americans. But as important as both constituencies have been to Obama ? particularly in the primaries ? it's Hispanics that could be putting him over the top on Nov. 4. Obama's dominance among Hispanics in the West is proving to be the difference maker in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. In addition, the increased numbers of non-Cuban Hispanics in Florida, as well as the growing Hispanic population in North Carolina and Virginia, could be the tipping voting group in those three states. " One question: How the FREAK can they possibly know this? What IS IT with these supposed news organizations and their OBSESSION with what other nationalities may or may not be doing ? (more...)

Resolved Question: Is Palin really the Governor with the highest approval ratings in the US?
Absolutely. My question isn't about that, but now that you're here... Why is the President of the United States the only elected official not elected by a popular vote? Doesn't a state like Texas have areas of high population density and very low population density? Then why doesn't Texas, California, Colorado, Alaska, Arizona, Illinois, etc use an "electoral college" to elect their governors? Why are we told that electing a President via EC is the "best way to go for all states" if its not the best way to go for all cities in a state-wide election? Steve, is that better than 4 cities electing a governor in a state wtih a couple hundred cities? I know she has the highest approval ratings, I said "absolutely" in reference to that. it just seems more people respond to "insert candidates name" questions instead of actual government questions.
