Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with Public Law 104-285 (Title II), The National Film Preservation Foundation Act of 1996, I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2003 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. It gives me great pleasure to review our accomplishments in carrying out this Congressional mandate. Since commencing service to the archival community in 1997, we have helped save 630 historically and culturally significant films from 98 institutions across 34 states and the District of Columbia. We have produced The Film Preservation Guide: The Basics for Archives, Libraries, and Museums, the first such publication designed specifically for regional preservationists, and have pioneered in pre- senting archival films on widely distributed DVDs and on American television. Unseen for decades, motion pictures preserved through our programs are now extensively used in study and exhibition. There is still much to do. This year Congress will consider the reauthorization of our federal grant programs. Increased funding will enable us to expand service to the nation’s archives, libraries, and museums and do more toward saving America’s film heritage for future generations. The film preser- vation community appreciates your efforts to make the case for increased federal investment. We are deeply grateful for your leadership. Space does not permit my acknowledging all those supporting our efforts in 2003, but I would like to single out several organizations that have played an especially significant role: the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W.

JENKINS Abstract The unequal distribution of legal protections on endangered species has been attributed to the “charisma” and “cuteness” of protected species. However, the theory of kin selection, which predicts the genetic relationship between organisms is proportional to the amount of cooperation between them, offers an evolutionary explanation for this phenomenon. In this thesis, it was hypothesized if the unequal distribution of legal protections on endangered species is a result of kin selection, then the genetic similarity between a species and Homo sapiens is proportional to the legal protections on that species.

  • The Fort Pillow Massacre, 1864
    The Fort Pillow Massacre, 1864 Introduction ―Among the stories of the stormy days of the Republic, few will longer be remembered than the heroic defense and almost utter annihilation of the garrison of Fort Pillow.‖ —Mack J. Leaming, April 1893 On April 12, 1864, fifteen hundred Confederate soldiers led by General Nathan Bedford Forrest attacked the 567 Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. Fighting raged until a truce was called at 3 p.m., but despite being greatly outnumbered, the Union troops refused to surrender. The Confederates renewed their attack at 4 p.m. and quickly overwhelmed the garrison. Nearly 300 Union soldiers were killed. The Confederates suffered only fourteen deaths. “The Fort Pillow Massacre,” Kurz & Allison, 1892. (The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, GLC07727) The attack on Fort Pillow fell on the third anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter in South Carolina, the start of the Civil War. Many believe that Forrest and his men wanted to punish, not just defeat, both the African American soldiers and the white men from Tennessee fighting on the side of the Union who were based at Fort Pillow. According to eyewitnesses, Confederates murdered Union prisoners, including some who were wounded, after the fort had been taken. © 2017 The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, New York NY gilderlehrman.org 2 The Fort Pillow Massacre, 1864 Despite the carnage, Fort Pillow was of little tactical significance. General Forrest abandoned the fort the next day. The events were soon called a ―massacre,‖ and the US Congress investigated the reports. At the congressional inquiry, witnesses stated that most of the wounds suffered by Union soldiers targeted the torso and head, while battle wounds usually occurred to the limbs.

Consider the case of Henry Pifield Rice, detective. I must explain Henry early, to avoid disappointment. If I simply said he was a detective, and let it go at that, I should be obtaining the reader's interest under false pretences. He was really only a sort of detective, a species of sleuth. At Stafford's International Investigation Bureau, in the Strand, where he was employed, they did not require him to solve mysteries which had baffled the police. He had never measured a footprint in his life, and what he did not know about bloodstains would have filled a library. The sort of job they gave Henry was to stand outside a restaurant in the rain, and note what time someone inside left it. In short, it is not 'Pifield Rice, Investigator. No. 1.--The Adventure of the Maharajah's Ruby' that I submit to your notice, but the unsensational doings of a quite commonplace young man, variously known to his comrades at the Bureau as 'Fathead', 'That blighter what's-his-name', and 'Here, you!' Henry lived in a boarding-house in Guildford Street. One day a new girl came to the boarding-house, and sat next to Henry at meals.

  • The Role of Nature in John Muir's Conception of the Good Life
    Department of Environmental Studies DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PAGE The undersigned have examined the dissertation entitled: The Role of Nature in John Muir’s Conception of the Good Life presented by Randy Larsen, candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereBy certify that it is accepted. Committee Chair: Dr. Mitchell Thomashow Antioch University New England Committee Member: Dr. Joy Ackerman Antioch University New England Committee Member: Dr. Philip Cafaro Colorado State University Defense Date: July 8, 2011 Date Submitted to the Registrar’s Office: September 6, 2011 The Role of Nature in John Muir’s Conception of the Good Life by Randy Larsen A dissertation suBmitted in partial fulfillment of the reQuirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Environmental Studies at Antioch University New England 2011 © 2011 by Randy Larsen All rights reserved. GRATITUDE John Muir wrote that when he tried to pick anything out by itself he found it hitched to everything else in the Universe. Such is the experience of trying to recognize all those without whom I never would have finished this dissertation. The list is too long to complete. What follows is but a sampling of help received from my committee, friends and family. Phil Cafaro’s wisdom, kindness, gentle prodding, and expertise in the field have been a continual and long­standing touchstone. His ability to simultaneously challenge and support is a model to me. Joy Ackerman lifted me when I was feeling disconnected and disheartened By suggesting consistent phone conversations, to which I heartily agreed and through which I discovered newfound excitement. My advisor Mitch Thomashow introduced me to the idea of pursuing a PhD in environmental studies in the first place.
