    Weighted Cramer-von Mises estimation of a distribution

    No full text
    The scope of this present work is to develop an estimation procedure which fits a probability distribution to data when it is most important that the fitted distribution model the lower possible values (the lower tail) tightly. We also want the resulting procedure to be relatively easy to use and be easy to adapt to any assumed parametric family. Our approach to this task is to consider the class of minimum distance Cramer-von Mises estimation procedures and pick out subclasses of these procedures which correspond to three different weightings. Formulas to aid in the calculation of these estimators are derived and the changes in estimates within each class of weights are investigated. The use of our method to determine collections of models which would fit are also discussed. These estimation methods are then compared with other, standard methods in cases where tail sensitivity may be needed. In addition, we find formulas for calculating any minimum-distance estimator which is tail sensitive and give methods for using these estimators, as with the other estimators, to find a collection of models which would fit reasonably well. Finally, a case study using airplane fatigue data is given. Our estimation method is found to satisfy our concerns and compete quite competently with other methods under good conditions. When the fitted family only has a distribution which fits the tail values of the data, our method consistently outperforms the standard methods. Thus we have developed a useful, easy to use estimation procedure which satisfies our concerns

    abstract: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a superfamily of ion channels found in plasma membranes of both single-celled and multicellular organisms. TRP channels all share the common aspect of having six transmembrane helices and a TRP domain. These structures tetramerize to form a receptor-activated non-selective ion channel. The specific protein being investigated in this thesis is the human transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (hTRPM8), a channel activated by the chemical ligand menthol and temperatures below 25 °C. TRPM8 is responsible for cold sensing and is related to pain relief associated with cooling compounds. TRPM8 has also been found to play a role in the regulation of various types of tumors. The structure of TRPM8 has been obtained through cryo-electron microscopy, but the functional contribution of individual portions of the protein to the overall protein function is unknown. To gain more information about the function of the transmembrane region of hTRPM8, it was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and purified in detergent membrane mimics for experimentation. The construct contains the S4-S5 linker, pore domain (S5 and S6 transmembrane helices), pore helix, and TRP box. hTRPM8-PD+ was purified in the detergents n-Dodecyl-B-D-Maltoside (DDM), 16:0 Lyso PG, 1-Palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (LPPG), and 14:0 Lyso PG, 1-Myristoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (LMPG) to determine which detergent resulted in a hTRPM8-PD+ sample of the most stability, purity, and highest concentrations. Following bacterial expression and protein purification, hTRPM8-PD+ was studied and characterized with circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to learn more about the secondary structures and thermodynamic properties of the construct. Further studies can be done with more circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, planar lipid bilayer (BLM) electrophysiology, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to gain more understanding of how the pore domain plus contributes to the activity of the whole protein construct

    Vaccination strategies for a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in southwest Kansas

    Department Head: Stephen P. Davies.2010 Spring.Includes bibliographical references (pages 76-80).Globalization has expanded market opportunities for U.S. livestock producers. With the increase in world travel and globalization of agriculture, the possibility of transmitting a highly contagious foreign animal disease to the U.S. is higher. Therefore, it is critically important to develop and assess economic implications of emergency management plans in the event a contagious livestock disease outbreak was to occur in the U.S. For example, the United Kingdom experienced a severe FMD outbreak in 2001. By the end of the outbreak, 221 days after it started, 2,026 cases of FMD had been confirmed, over six million animals were destroyed, and the disease had spread to Ireland, France, and the Netherlands. Thompson et al. (2002) estimated losses from FMD in the UK at £5.8 to £6.3 billion (8.47to8.47 to 9.20 billion U.S.). Responding to public opposition in the UK to the eradication measures, as well as the demand for an alternative destruction approach because of limited carcass disposal due to concerns about water (burial) or air pollution by smoke (burning), the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) - Veterinary Service (VS) recently unveiled its vision for the future called VS 2015. According to APHIS (2009), VS 2015 "will allow the organization to place greater emphasis on disease prevention, preparedness, detection and early response activities" (page 1). There are several forces driving this initiative and its focus: diseases that were once eradicated or controlled are beginning to emerge again, changes in the industry structure (an increase in the number of large-scale, production-intensive operations), advances in technology, public awareness of diseases, demand for protein (especially in developing countries), and shrinking federal budgets (which has an increased emphasis on optimal allocation of resources). Combining APHIS's VS 2015 vision and the recent advances in FMD vaccines, it is imperative that policies are developed with input from both the epidemiological and economic sciences. The purpose of this study is to estimate the epidemiological and economic impacts associated with the various emergency vaccination strategies in the event of a FMD outbreak in a large cattle feeding region, where large-scale depopulation activities might not be feasible. In this study, we will compare the impacts of using vaccination as a way to control the spread of FMD on the time of detection and across herd size. Additionally, we investigate the changes in producer and consumer welfare associated with: the optimal timeframe in which officials have to begin the vaccination strategy; and destruction or alternative marketing channels for vaccinated animals (i.e., what happens if all vaccinated animals are destroyed vs. if the vaccinated animals are not destroyed.) To achieve the objectives of this study, a stochastic epidemiological disease spread model is used to simulate a hypothetical FMD outbreak outside of this thesis. Results from the disease spread model are then incorporated into an equilibrium displacement model (EDM). The EMD is a set of supply and demand equations that incorporates multiple commodities, multiple marketing levels within the farm-retail marketing chain, and international trade. The results obtained from the epidemiological model indicate that varying the number of herds detected before vaccination commenced had a minor impact on the number of animals destroyed, number of animals vaccinated and the length of the outbreak. The economic results suggest that no vaccination has the smallest decline in producer welfare when compared to the vaccination scenarios. Varying the number of herds detected before vaccination begins has little impact on producer and consumer welfare. When destroying the vaccinated animals, the impacts are larger at the producer levels compared to the scenarios when animals are not destroyed. As would be expected, when the export markets are closed longer, the impacts are larger. The various scenarios studied suggest the total producer meat surplus decreases between 15,810.6and15,810.6 and 21,324.9 million. The total consumer meat surplus decreases 2,581.8and2,581.8 and 5,875.6 million

    Red, white and blue highways: British travel writing and the American road trip in the late twentieth century

    No full text
    This study locates late-twentieth-century roadlogues (nonfiction, prose accounts of American road trips) by British writers within the tradition of the postwar American highway narrative in travel writing, novels, and film. It exposes the discursive structures and textual constraints underlying seven case studies published in the 1990s by comparing them to texts from various genres in diachronic and synchronic contexts. It contributes to scholarship on the American highway narrative, which largely overlooks British texts. It complements research on British travel writing, which tends to be biased towards pre-twentieth-century texts by travellers whose culture is in a dominant relation to that of travellees. It adds to postcolonial studies through analysis of representations of the other where otherness is reduced and complicated by a history of cultural exchange. The methodology combines several approaches including discourse theory, discourse analysis, narrative theory, feminist criticism, and theories of tourism. Three main areas are considered: identity, in relation to nationality and gender; the road writer's gaze, with regard to vehicles and roads; and intertextuality, on the margins (in maps) and inside roadlogues (in direct and indirect allusions). The study concludes that contemporary British roadlogues are in what is almost a subordinate relation to American highway narratives, evidenced by extensive influence of American texts. However, this subordination is qualified by joint ownership of western and New World myths, vestiges of imperial superiority, and selective deference by British writers. The latter is demonstrated through a consumer approach to American culture afforded by the episodic structure of the road trip and encouraged by the niche-oriented nature of the current market for travel writing. While American writers regard roadscapes with imperial eyes and experience the road trip as a rite of passage, contemporary Britons generally engage in superficial role play and remain untransformed by American highways

Eighty-two-year-old George Veasy, M.D., had stopped by my office to visit last October, close to the medical school\u27s 100th anniversary, and shared a story mined from his long career as a pediatric cardiologist. " Peds always was," he said, his voice dropping to nearly a whisper, " a problem child." Lack of a department chair, funding problems, personal disagreements: the 1940s and \u27 50s had been like a dysfunctional child-hood. Yet the department has emerged as one of the medical school\u27s largest- and one that brings in more research dollars than most realize. Last November, the U Department of Pediatrics was awarded Si6 million as one of seven Vanguard centers for the National Children\u27s Study, an ambitious 20- year project detailed in this issue\u27s cover story. Toward the end of my first interview with Edward Clark, M. D., I asked about the colorful history of the department he now chairs. Pediatrics was a " love child," he told me, the product of personalities and emotions that tangled in years past. It\u27s survived and matured, not only because of overriding wisdom on the part of administrators and faculty, but passion. I didn\u27t expect that when I began interviewing for a story about a clinical research project. Even for the National Children\u27s Study, which aspires to be the biggest and longest in history; that has the potential to change history by generating more biological samples and data than most of us can fathom, and more hypotheses than we can ever imagine. Scientific studies may be initiated with intellectual curiosity that takes the form of grant proposals written, and rigorously rewritten, with scrupulous objectivity. But if we get to know the investigators themselves- the individuals behind the microscope- we discover women and men who are far from dispassionate. When they begin talking of " doing science," of " my science," their voices rush with enthusiasm; their faces light up with excitement. They\u27re speaking from that rare confluence where professional and personal interests merge. They love what they\u27re doing. That\u27s what fueled pediatrics, enabling it to become a successful department. That\u27s also what will keep the National Children\u27s Study alive at the University of Utah, no matter what happens with funding battles and Beltway politics in Washington, D. C. Too many clinicians and researchers from across our campus are passionate about the health of all children.

Crabtree, chief financial officer for University Hospitals & Clinics, was named interim chief executive officer last February. He replaced the late Richard A. Fullmer ( see pg. 9). Crabtree, who joined University Hospital in summer 2002, will continue as chief financial officer, overseeing all hospital finances, includ-ing: accounting, patient financial services, budget office, business development, insurance contracting, and patient admitting. Previously Crabtree, a certified public accountant, was managing director of finance for the Salt Lake Olympic Committee and director of finance for the State of Utah from 1985- 95. He is a graduate of Weber State University and received an M. B. A. from the U of U. Albertine Named Assistant Dean of Medical Faculty Administration K urt H. Albertine, Ph. D., became assistant dean of faculty administration at the School of Medicine last February. Albertine, professor of pediatrics and adjunct professor of internal medicine and neurobiology and anatomy, also directs the Research Microscopy Facility and is course director of gross anatomy at the medical school. In his new position, Albertine leads programs designed to familiarize faculty and department administrators with medical school policies and pro-cedures regarding faculty appointment, retention, promotion, and tenure ( A& RPT). For nine years, he was on the A& RPT committee and served as chair. A U faculty member since 1993, Albertine earned a bachelor\u27s degree from Lawrence University in Wisconsin and a doctoral degree from Loyola University in Chicago, and did postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco ( UCSF). He held teaching and research positions at UCSF, the University of South Florida, University of Pennsylvania, and Jefferson Medical College. These images- at left is a three- dimensional volume- rendered nage of the left and right sides of the heart- were obtained using CT coronary angiog-raphy, offered to high- risk patients in a new joint program of the Division of Cardiology and Department of Radiology in the U School of Medicine. CT ( computed tomography) scanning uses a computer to reconstruct X- rays taken from many different perspectives into an image that looks like a " slice," as seen in the image on the right. Recent technical advances have made it possible to scan fast enough and with thin enough slices to visualize all of a patient\u27s major coronary arteries. Within 10 seconds, the non- invasive test can detect significant blockages in arteries. Kurt H. Albertine, Ph. D.

College of Health Researchers Target School Lunch Offerings Students choosing cartons of flavored milk may earn an A+ for increasing their calcium, but not for added sugars and high fat content. That is one of the preliminary findings of the School Health Inquiry Group, a committee formed at the College of Health last fall to assess and improve nutrition in Utah schools. Last July, the group received a five-year, 635,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, to improve the food environment in the state\u27s schools. Susie Nanney, Ph. D., M. P. H., R. D., assistant professor of health promotion and education, is principal investigator on the grant. She established the research group, which surveyed the con-tents of vending machines and a la carte cafeteria offerings at 29 junior and senior high schools in the Jordan School District last winter. Nanney will present an analysis of the findings, along with initial recommendations, to the district this fall. The School Health Inquiry Group also is working with Utah\u27s Action for Healthy Kids, part of a federal program focused on improving students\u27 health and school environments.

New Diabetes Education Suite Designed for All Ages When you have to limit your sweets, this one will be especially helpful. The Utah Diabetes Center\u27s new Education Suite features classrooms, patient- consultation rooms, and a children\u27s library, where younger patients can learn more about the disease that affects some 120,000 Utahns. Diabetes specialists James J. Chamberlain, M. D., and Mary A. Murray, M. D., chief pediatric endocrinologist, were featured speakers at a May 24 open house. Located in the University\u27s Research Park, the diabetes center is a collaboration between University Health Care and Primary Children\u27s Medical Center. In the Education Suite, patients may schedule individual consultations on menu planning, weight management, glucose monitoring, insulin pump train-ing, and insulin management. Patients also have access to a resource library, in addition to the special children\u27s section. The only facility of its kind in the Intermountain West, the Utah Diabetes Center provides clinical care, education, and research each year to more than 9,000 patients, ranging from newborns to the elderly. Brewer Named Assistant VP for Public Affairs, Marketing Dee Brewer recently was named assistant vice president for public affairs and marketing for health sciences. Brewer joined the U health sciences in November 2005 to unite and direct the previously separate offices of Public Affairs and Market-ing. He also has been charged with advancing the new University Health Care brand for all clinical care services. Kim Wirthlin, U vice presi-dent for government relations and health sciences associate vice president, said that Brewer\u27s appointment " supports the continuing strategic alignment of our communications and underscores our commitment to a unified brand." Brewer has worked in health care communications since 1987. He earned a bachelor of university studies degree ( marketing and communications) from the U of U in 1986. Dee Brewer ^ University Health Care will inaugurate a new clinic offering " quick, smart, and convenient" patient care in the Dan\u27s Foods located in Olympus Hills, 3981 S. Wasatch Blvd., in Salt Lake City. No appointments will be needed. Physician assistants will treat conditions, including: sore throats, ear infections, seasonal allergies, sinus infections, rashes, insect stings, minor injuries, and upset stomachs. Health Sciences Report Summer 2006 H E A D L I N E S in the Nation Teaching Young Doctors How to Care for the Elderly B y 2026, Utah will have the nation\u27s fastest growing population of those 65 years and older. The U of U School of Medicine will be ready, thanks to a 2 million grant, " Comprehensive Program to Strengthen Physicians\u27 Training in Geriatrics," received last June. Mark A. Supiano, M. D., professor and chief of geriatrics, and executive director of the U of U Center on Aging, is principal investiga-tor for the grant from the Las Vegas- based D. W. Reynolds Foundation. Supiano also directs the Veterans Affairs ( VA) Salt Lake City Geriatric, Research, and Education Center. He and 45 U of U faculty and staff members will use the grant to develop a curriculum in geriatric medicine, currently not required at most U. S. medical schools. Every U medical student will learn clinical skills to evaluate older patients\u27 functional status as well as screen for geriatric conditions often missed in routine care. Students\u27 progress will be tracked and assessed by a Web- based computer program to document their competency. The U is one of 10 academic medical centers awarded a Reynolds Foundation grant, which provides 500,000annuallyforthenextfouryears.ThenewcurriculumwillextendtoprimarycareprovidersatUniversityHealthCare2˘7scommunityclinics,theVAhealthcaresystem,andIntermountainHealthcare,whowillreceivetrainingtoimprovecarefortheirelderlypatients.Utah"Epicenter"toReduceInfectionsDevelopingandtestinginnovativeapproachestoreduceinfectionsinhealthcaresettingsisthegoalofINTERCEPT,anewcollaborationbetweentheUniversityofUtahandthreeintegratedhealthcaredeliverysystems,whichispartofaprogramsponsoredbytheU.S.CentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(CDC).OneoffivenationalsitesfundedbytheCDCprogram,INTERCEPT(IntermountainCenterofExcellenceforInfectionPreventionStrategies)includesUniversityHealthCare,IntermountainHealthcare,andtheVeteransAffairs(VA)SaltLakeCityhealthcaresystem.INTERCEPTwillreceive 500,000 annually for the next four years.

Utah " Epicenter" to Reduce Infections D eveloping and testing innovative approaches to reduce infections in health- care settings is the goal of INTERCEPT, a new collab-oration between the University of Utah and three integrated health- care delivery systems, which is part of a program sponsored by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC). One of five national sites funded by the CDC program, INTERCEPT ( Intermountain Center of Excellence for Infection Prevention Strategies) includes University Health Care, Intermountain Healthcare, and the Veterans Affairs ( VA) Salt Lake City health- care system. INTERCEPT will receive 2 million over the next five years to improve methods used to detect health care- associated infections and to implement strategies to prevent them. Health care- associated infections cause an estimated 2 million infections and 90,000 deaths annually in the United States. INTERCEPT researchers will use computerized medical records and alerting systems already in place at the three health- care systems to: evaluate how to reduce the transmission of antibiotic- resistant bacteria; find ways to decrease the prolonged use of urinary catheters that can lead to infections; and devise computer- based surveillance to track problems associated with electronic medical devices.

Burn Center Earns High Marks Good work does get noticed. The Burn Trauma Intensive Care Unit at University Hospital received verification from the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons last January. During the voluntary verifica-tion review, all services, quality management, and interdisciplin-ary aspects of burn care were scrutinized and reviewed, accord-ing to Jeffrey R. Saffle, M. D., professor of surgery and director of the burn unit. The U facility, the only one in the Intermountain West, has maintained the top- level achievement since the process began 11 years ago. About 44 of the 130 burn centers nationally qualify for verification. The 13- bed unit at University Hospital cares for burn patients of all ages, including infants. Annually, the unit admits more than 300 burn patients and receives more than 5,300 clinic

You may ask, “what is an extreme sport?” An extreme sport is one that involves more risk or injury than average sports. It is an adrenaline pumping activity. One of the more popular extreme sports at HJH is Skate Boarding. There are others such as snow boarding, mountain biking, wake boarding, and BMX’ing. Josh Gabrial is an extreme skate boarder. He skates at the new Lethbridge Skate Park on the north side of town. He also likes the area downtown around the Centre Place Mall. He looks for steps, small walls, ledges and hand railings to challenge his abilities. Most skaters spend as much time as they can practicing their sport... some up to 3 hours a day. At the first of the year Adam Lastiwka and some fellow skaters when to the School Board Office with a proposal for the HJH Skateboarders. They wanted a place to do what they do! They skate at lunch hours but had been kicked off every place they had tried to skate that was near the school. They proposed that theHJH skaters be allowed to use the area that leads up to the school board office parking lot just south of the school. They knew it was an acces road to the board office parking lot and they didn’t want to bother the board office employees. So they put together a list of rules and requests to make the area safe for skateboarding while not bothering people who needed acces to the building. The superidentent, Mr. M. Clewes accepted their proposal and now the HJH skaters have a place to practice their sport near the school. 44 X-Clountry W>nners Senior Boys 1. Joel Kotkas 9:44 2. Adam Hoof 10:21 3.

Paige Atkinson (grade 9) won herself a GMC Jimmy for her efforts in the bi-annual HJH fund raiser. Bridge City Chrysler donated the used sport utility vehicle to Hamilton for the event. Students participating in the fund raiser found sponsors before they took an exam. Students then collected a net amount from their sponsors or an amount per question they correctly answered on the exam.This was a more creative and fun way of raising money than selling chocolates or candles. HJH had some great sponsors so we had some great prizes.The top fundraiser was allowed to pick for first prize and every consecutive finisher picked next. Among the prizes was a round-trip for four to Edmonton courtesy of Integra Air. Coca-Cola, meanwhile, donated money to the school to help pay for basketball uniforms and glass backboards. Cathy Frache (grade 7), was the top fund raiser with a total of 406.above:JulieXu...Singmeasong.right:SidEraischowindownonsomerice.48left:DerekPorterandMr.Kerrarethetoiletpaperprinces.49above:Allthebubblegumhatingteachersthrowitouttoallthebubblegumlovingstudents.left:Ms.Rollingsontryingtosurvivethesurvivorassembly.left:HowmuchmoneywillDavidPotvinwinatthedartboard?below:Frogsanyone?Mr.LoweandBobStrandquisteatingtotheirheartsdelight.andthewinnersare...abovetop:OurtotalprofitfromtheMilleniumFundraiser.above:Mrs.Hammond,Ms.Richardson,andMr.Kerrhanding406. above: Julie Xu...

    The role of endotoxin, the TNF family of cytokines and intracellular pH in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury

    No full text
    To explore the effect of endotoxin as a sensitising agent prior to neonatal hypoxiaischemia differing doses of endotoxin (E. coli lipopolysaccharide, LPS) were given to neonatal mice prior to hypoxia-ischemia, with sensitising effects noted at dosages of 0.3mg/kg of LPS or higher. Varying the time interval between endotoxin administration and hypoxia-ischemia demonstrated that LPS given between 4 and 12 hours before hypoxia-ischemia had a sensitising effect on subsequent hypoxia ischemia. In contrast, LPS given at the time of or 24 hours before hypoxia-ischemia did not. To help understand the mechanism by which this sensitising effect occurs, a dose-response study of LPS alone was undertaken. Here, a dose-dependent activation of microglia was demonstrated throughout the brain, particularly in the thalamus and cortex, by 12 hours following endotoxin administration. There was also evidence of vascular endothelial activation (ICAM1) as early as 4 hours after endotoxin administration. To study the role of the TNF cluster of cytokines (TNF alpha, lymphotoxin alpha and lymphotoxin beta), animals with a deletion of the entire TNF cluster were examined. Deletion of the TNF cluster was shown to abolish both endotoxin-mediated sensitisation of the developing brain to subsequent hypoxia, and to prevent upregulation of macrophage and vascular endothelium by endotoxin alone. This study also examined the effects of hypoxia-ischemia on intracellular pH. Increasing duration of hypoxia-ischemia resulted in a progressive intracellular acidosis within the brain, initially ipsilateral to the carotid ligation, but becoming bilateral with prolonged hypoxia. In the reoxygenation phase, there was a rebound intracellular alkalosis at 6 hours of reoxygenation across the whole forebrain. Previous studies have suggested that this alkalosis is mediated by a Na+/H+ exchanger. Blockade of this transporter with N-methyl isobutyl amiloride prior to hypoxia-ischemia was shown to confer neuroprotection in the developing brain

Who do you think Wilson's weirdest teacher is and why? Tracy Lillenut: MR. DERGOUSOFF BECAUSE OF HIS WEIRD HAND MOVEMENTS. Jim Simpson: MR. POWELL BECAUSE OF THE MUNITIONS FACTORY IN HIS DESK. Jane Milband: MR. REDPATH BECAUSE HE'S NOT A "HANDY KIND OF GUY". Greg Cleaver: MR. STEFAN,LIKE THE DUDE'S GOT THE WEIRDEST LOOKIN' CREW CUT YOU'LL EVER SEE. Graeme MacFarlane: DEFINITELY MR.

It was learned that 75% of the grade nine's preferred potato chips as their favorite snack, 18% preferred an apple, and 7% preferred others. A popular theme song in 1983-1984 was the theme from "Mr. Rogers". These are some of the grade nine's reactions to the song: Jim Simpson: MR. '//HO? Craig Strukoff: WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOUR? Kirk young: I HAVE IT ALMOST MEMORIZED 27 students have it memorized 34 students don't know it. The question is, do they care? 46 There were a variety of answers as to how many times people wash their gym strip. The answers ranged from every day to never. Vicky Orich: TWO TIMES A YEAR, THREE IF IT REALLY NEEDS IT Jason Enns: WASH IT? Lorelei Stevenson: WHEN IT'S YELLOW UNDER THE ARMS Stacey Murkin: NO ONE TOLD ME TO ACTUALLY WASH IT. Sue Dietzen: WHEN IT STARTS WALKIN AWAY ON ME Mike Andre: I WASH MINE EVERY FIVE MINUTES Here are some funny pet peeves that grade nine's complain about: David Stray: TYPEWRITER KEYS CLICKING Christy Walker: FLARE-LEGGED JEANS Georgina Lorenz: PEOPLE WALKING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE HALL Jody Fenton: THE NEW BELL SYSTEM Robyn Dow: MY PURSE The grade nine students came up with some ideas on how to improve Wilson: Diane Gunter: WE NEED MORE NEWSPAPERS AND MUSIC OVER THE INTERCOMES WOULD BE GREAT.

    SPRING 2015 jJui JMaaaa, JL^aXAXaa, V\u3eP , THE JOHN MUIR CENTER Reflections on John Muir— One-hundred years after his death Bill Swagerty, Co-Director, John Muir Center During 2014, many institutions honored John Muir\u27s legacy with an event associated with the centennial of his death on December 24, 1914. It was also the fiftieth anniversary of passage of the Wilderness Act by Congress in 1964 and the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Act, transferring the core of what would become Yosemite National Park from the State of California to the federal government. Pacific hosted the 60th California History Institute from March 20-22 focusing on What has been saved; what has been lost: John Muir\u27s Legacy, 1914-2014. The symposium began with a field trip to Martinez on March 20 to visit John Muir National Historic Site. Twenty-four students in the John Muir Class were joined by other Pacific students, faculty, and guests of the university. As always, rangers and interpreters opened the doors to the Strentzel-Muir-Hanna house on the hill and allowed us the privilege of seeing Muir\u27s grave- site nearby. At the gravesite, Michael Wurtz, Head of Holt-Atherton Special Collections, read a 1914 obituary from a local newspaper which included mention of those who attended Muir\u27s funeral. On March 21, another field trip by bus took students and guests to Coulterville along the route that Muir walked in 1868 on his first trip to Yosemite. Ken Pulvino, founder of the John Muir Geotourism Center, joined the bus in Modesto and explained Muir\u27s stop at Horseshoe Bend, where he made an elaborate sketch of the landscape. Educator Monty Thornberg, current Director of the Center gave a presentation at lunch in the Hotel Jeffery on the activities of the Center, which promotes tourism and environmental education along the John Muir Highway. The Jeffery dates to 1851 and was a stagecoach stop for Yo- semite-bound passengers, as well as a resting place and reprovisioning opportunity for pedestrians like Muir on his long walk to the Valley. Bill Jeffery, husband to Pacific\u27s Pamela Eibeck, explained his family\u27s likely connection with the original builders. Unfortunately, after our field trip, the hotel experienced a major fire in the middle of the night on November 14, 2014, forcing closure. By 1889, it had burned three times, so this was the fourth structure-fire, but fortunately did not consume the entire building, which is currently undergoing restoration as a National Historic Landmark. We also saw the result of the Rim Fire, started by a hunter who set an illegal campfire on August 17, 2013 in Stanislaus National Forest.

Young is a descendant of Muir and this tribute had Muir-Hanna-Funk family members especially proud of the young men\u27s filmmaking and narration. In addition to Young, the family was represented at the symposium by Ross and Gladys Hanna, William and Claudia Hanna, Ross and Sally de Lipkau, James and Carol Hanna, Susan and Terry Flynn, David and Sharon Hanna, and Robert Hanna. Since the symposium, we are saddened by the passing of Ross Hanna, Muir\u27s last living grandchild, and a graduate of Pacific (\u2749), who died in June and whose life was celebrated on June 21 in his home town of Dixon. After the film, old familiars to Pacific returned to share updates on their research. Terry Gifford of England reflected on Muir, Ruskin, Uncle Sam, Planet Earth—Gains and Losses. Graham White of Scotland preached on The Moral Imperative of Environmental Education, using Muir as his sounding board. A keynote by returnee Andrea Wulf, a German national who lives in London, on Alexander von Humboldt\u27s influence on John Muir had all in awe of both Wulf\u27s research, as well as her command of imagery and description. The author of Founding Gardeners and Chasing Venus, Wulf\u27s The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt\u27s New World will be released later this spring. She will also return to Pacific this coming August to address the entire freshman class on August 25 with a summary of Humboldt\u27s place in modern science. Following a Scottish-theme luncheon, which did not include haggis, but did feature Dundee Cake, registrants returned to their seats to an afternoon session on John Muir\u27s Legacy. Ronald Eber, historian for the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club and a resident of Port Orchard, Washington, led off with remarks on The Wilderness Legacy of John Muir, introduced by Harold Wood, chair of the Sierra Club\u27s John Muir Education Committee. Doug Scott of Seattle followed, presenting on The 1964 Wilderness Act and 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, both of which he had a role in passing as an environmental lobbyist. Independent scholar Stephen Holmes, author of The Young John Muir: An Environmental Biography, and a resident of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, compared Muir\u27s manuscript with the final printed version of his first major book, The Mountains of California (1894) pointing out many environmental lessons that Muir wanted to include that did not make it into print. The day ended with seven of twenty-four in the spring term John Muir Class summarizing their research topics. Megan Deino researched John Muir and the Legacy of Calaveras Big Trees State Park; Hailie Eackles, The Bear Necessities, on Muir and bears; Lucy Kramer: John Muir, Sheep, and Domestic Husbandry; Kyle Shin, Muir and Roosevelt: The Legacy of the Trip to Yosemite; Ashley Salazar: John Muir and the Wilderness of the Stickeen River; Kathryn Teague, John Muir\u27s Glacial Theories as Predecessors to Modern Understanding of the Glacial History of Yosemite Valley; and, John Wooten, John Muir and the Fight for Hetch Hetchy.

PAGE 7 Delta Narratives Project California\u27s Delta is the subject of a current project involving Pacific faculty, former faculty, and former Dean Robert Benedetti, who serves as project director. Funded by the State of California through the Delta Protection Commission, the project is based at California State University, Sacramento. The goal is to study the Delta in collaboration with the region\u27s historical societies, museums, and archives in order to promote better awareness of the area, ultimately expecting nominating by the Department of the Interior as a National Heritage Area. Former English Department faculty member Gregg Camfield, now an Associate Provost at U. C. Merced, is in charge of Literature and Art, while Philip Garone and Jennifer Helzer of California State University, Stanislaus are tackling Reclamation and Restoration and Community and Society, respectfully. The lead essay, Stitching a River Culture: Trade, Communication and Transportation, is being written by Bill Swagerty and Reuben Smith Dr. Smith is former Dean of the Graduate School at Pacific and Bill Swagerty and Reuben Smith professor emeritus of the Department of History. A native Californian, Smith grew up in the Bay area and earned his doctorate at Harvard University, specializing in the Islamic World. He knows Delta transportation history from years of working as a volunteer at the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista, where he continues to serve as motorman and conductor on electric trains. Swagerty and Smith began the project in October and have completed a draft of their essay after trips to several historical societies and ar chives including the Western Railroad Museum archives, Center for Sacramento History, State Railroad Museum Archives, Rio Vista Museum, Sacramento River Delta Historical Society in Walnut Grove, Yolo County Archives in Woodland, and San Joaquin Historical Society in Micke Grove. Other partners in the project include the Bank of Stockton and the Haggin Museum of Stockton. Presentation of results have taken place this spring in Walnut Grove and Antioch and will be presented later this summer in Sacramento with expectations of new interest in the Delta as sites are interpreted and museums open their doors with new exhibits. .^**r ■V.\u27 U£,l \u27 —T » oi.., ■•* ... ... **§ ■ : iffijJM mu.V; \u27 .; k ■•.\u27- .\u27■. » H»\u27\u27|FkftjfeB i.uiiWK TAP i HOI st 1 \u3e- jl£X a LifililAaaia Patch BDH ■ ■ -A Clarksburg f\u27.li 4 Mues |\u3e.r\u3c| i \u27\u27*B^BI 1 giMU »\u3e»K , \u27 -■ \u27J kj, IM:W \u27 jJ&T %is««ii^fHB^ 3 Signs near Freeport Page 8 John Muir Journal Transcription Project Picking Up Steam In the wake of the 100th anniversary of John Muir\u27s death on December 24, 2014, The Record (Stockton) ran an article - front page above the fold - about the Special Collections effort to crowdsource the transcription of the John Muir journals. The story was picked up by other newspapers and a couple of television stations, and it was tweeted copiously over the next few weeks. The publicity brought in over 30 new transcribers who dove into Muir journals with the same drive that Muir sojourned in the Sierra. Nearly 100 images have been transcribed, which means that well over half the 3000 images in the journals are now keyword searchable. The transcribers are devoted Muir enthusiasts digging for new inspirational quotes, long time hikers curious about Muir\u27s wanderings on their favorite paths around the world, and grade school students who giggle when Muir discusses the naked rocks, but were awestruck when he pondered the value of scientific inquiry. The long term value to harvesting Muir\u27s words in the journals will boost the discovery of the famous naturalist\u27s ideas and thoughts in their initial observational form. The project continues.
