  • Idaho Profile Idaho Facts
    Idaho Profile Idaho Facts Name: Originally suggested for Colorado, the name “Idaho” was used for a steamship which traveled the Columbia River. With the discovery of gold on the Clearwater River in 1860, the diggings began to be called the Idaho mines. “Idaho” is a coined or invented word, and is not a derivation of an Indian phrase “E Dah Hoe (How)” supposedly meaning “gem of the mountains.” Nickname: The “Gem State” Motto: “Esto Perpetua” (Let it be perpetual) Discovered By Europeans: 1805, the last of the 50 states to be sighted Organized as Territory: March 4, 1863, act signed by President Lincoln Entered Union: July 3, 1890, 43rd state to join the Union Official State Language: English Geography Total Area: 83,569 square miles – 14th in area size (read more) Water Area: 926 square miles Highest Elevation: 12,662 feet above sea level at the summit of Mt.

  • Bilingual Marine Data Distribution Using Arcims for Coral Reef Conservation
    Bilingual Marine Data Distribution Using ArcIMS for Coral Reef Conservation Emily. M. Larkin, Dawn J. Wright, and Emily. R. Lundblad Abstract American Samoa is home to some of the most unique coral reefs in the United States. They face several threats, including climate change, pollution, destructive fishing methods, and invasive species. Additionally, the remote location of American Samoa makes distribution of scientific research and data problematic. As part of an ongoing project at Oregon State University, this project will provide for the distribution of research about coral reefs in American Samoa to educators, managers and the public for promotion of reef conservation. Several steps will be necessary to accomplish this goal, including creation of benthic habitat maps for Fagaitua Bay and the National Park of American Samoa, development of a Web-based Geographic Information System in Samoan and English (including a bibliographic database of resources related to reefs in American Samoa), and creation of educational modules about benthic habitat GIS for use by American Samoa Community College. Introduction This study addresses the problem of public outreach and accessibility of scientific research and data in American Samoa through a web-based GIS called the American Samoa Benthic Viewer (ASBV). The remote location of the territory makes dissemination of current research that directly concerns American Samoa problematic. While there has been a proliferation of research on the coral reefs around the territory in the past few years, little of this information is available to the public in a form that is readily understandable or useable. This information may potentially be used in the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs), which, in a society still partially dependent on subsistence fishing, directly affects the general public (Gilman 1997).

Necessarily, most of the lists of legislators are unofficial, final certification hot having been possible so soon after the election of November 2.

Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City.

Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known.
