Here were successful executives with well-paying jobs and solid retirement prospects suddenly told that they had no place in the company and that they had to go. Corporations, cognizant that the news would be portrayed negatively (jobs lost and lives ruined rather than new jobs created and customers served), attempted to "spin" the reports by creating such terms as "downsizing" and, more insultingly, "right-sizing." As the companies expected, newspapers reported each new announcement of corporate cut-backs with almost gleeful tones, to the point of running news about the layoffs in headlines with the most dramatic language. The New York Times, for example, in March 1996 ran a seven-part series called "The Downsizing of America," in which it called laid-off employees "casualties" of "the battlefields of business." Part of the enthusiasm for the news accounts involved the "victims" - in this case, employees whose productivity no longer matched their cost - because the pink-slipped were overwhelmingly mid-level managers and white-collar executives who had (seemingly) been spared the severe retrenchments during the 1970s and 1980s in the steel, auto, and electronics industries. At that time, the blue-collar workforce had taken it on the chin, and the media had dutifully covered those developments with appropriately somber and glum commentaries. After all (the newsroom reasoning went), the blue-collar guys actually worked for a living and thus were deserving of sympathy. But the corporate types? Served 'em right. Now they knew how the line workers felt.

He won the Reebok Human Rights Youth in Action Award 1994 and on Easter Sunday, 1995, he was murdered. Students at Broadmeadow Middle School formed a campaign to help fight for Iqbal's Dream. Also look to the Atlantic Monthly's exhaustive and persuasive article, Child Labor in Pakistan by Jonathan Silvers. Teachers and students could use the Iqbal site as inspiration for their own projects.

Resources Open Spaces Home Back Issues Volume Three Number Four Publishing in the Northwest Publishing in the Northwest We humans populating the Pacific Northwest are known to be one of the nation's most dedicated reading groups. Reasons provided to explain this phenomenon are varied, from the long gray winters west of the Cascades that promote warm and dry indoor activities to the isolation of the ranching territories east of the mountains. And perhaps more recently the richness and diversity of the crops produced by the wealth of regional publishers could be playing a significant role. The West Coast has more active publishers than any area outside New York City, the traditional core of publishing in the United States. Our Northwest region abounds in publishing houses not of the size of those New York mega-conglomerates, but homegrown presses more attuned to local trends and interests and more human in scope. A stroll through Literary Market Place demonstrates that Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana play host to upwards of thirty general trade publishers of substantial size, along with multitudes of smaller one-to-few book companies and some really esoteric specialist presses. These are general trade publishers, meaning they distribute their titles significantly through bookstores. And they annually produce hundreds of books on topics ranging from regional books in predictably popular categories such as natural history, travel and recreation, western Americana, local history and biography to books in quite narrow specialty subjects. These subjects include horticulture, classical music and opera, translations of European literature, law, business management, legal self-help, literary fiction, fiction and non-fiction from women writers, gay and lesbian literature, needlework crafts, poetry, writer's reference, illustrated graphic novels, children's books, coffee table books on art and photography. All these subjects and more are published oftenand very wellhere in the Northwest. Profiles of many of the key players follow this introduction.

Florida Fossil Horse Newsletter Volume 2 Number 3 3rd QuarterSeptember 1993 What's Inside? Fossil Skeletons and Mother Lodes George Gaylord Simpson Mammal Tooth Structure Horse Phylogeny ... Idaho State Fossil Fossil Skeletons and Mother Lodes For those who have collected old bones and teeth from Florida, you can attest to the fact that although fossil mammals are indeed plentiful, they are usually found disarticulated; the skeletons are almost never found in tact. Localities throughout the world that do preserve complete skeletons are indeed rare and these have been called Lagerstätten , a German term roughly meaning "mother lode." Steve Gould once noted that ".Lagerstätten are rare, but their contributions to our knowledge of life's history is disproportionate to their frequency." Why is this so? For invertebrates, soft-bodied organisms may be preserved thus giving insight into various fossil groups not normally fossilized (see Book Review below). For vertebrates the same can be true. At the fabulous Eocene Messel in Germany, carbonized impressions of stomach contents of palaeotheres (close relatives of horses, see chart on page 6) indicate that they were eating grapes, and that bats were eating butterflies. For other Lagerstätten containing vertebrates, the Scientific value is in the completeness of the skeleton. These entire specimens allow paleontologists to decipher the anatomy and biology of these extinct organisms. Artist Marc Marcuson's reconstruction of Pliohippus

Capitol Building Tour 1869-1871 Capitol Building Welcome to Our Capital - Carson City On October 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th State of the Union. This was the time of the Civil War and thus the state motto of "Battle Born". The Union needed the minerals that are abundant in this state. Beginning in 1857, several names were used to refer to this area, ie: Sierra Nevada Territory, Washoe Territory, Carson Territory, Eastern Slope, Humboldt, Esmeralda, Sierra Plata, Oro Plata and Bullion; but in 1864 she emerged as "Nevada" a Spanish word meaning snow-covered.
