	Northeastern United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Republicans were economically and socially liberal, advocating open markets and endorsing the concept of free labor (a belief that laborers have the right to sell their labor in exchange for wages); therefore, the Republicans of the time generally opposed labor unions and slavery.
		Immigration to Northeastern cities rapidly pushed the population of the region upwards from the 1790s until World War II and the Democratic Party often won the support of these immigrants through political patronage.
		As of 2006, the governorships of many of the northeastern states are still controlled by the Republicans, because of tradition and the party's pronounced social liberalism in the region.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: English Trade in Deerskins and Indian Slaves
		By 1679, in their strategy of playing the English and French off each other and in an effort to replace the hundreds who had died in an epidemic, Iroquois slave raiders struck out to the west and south.
		When it became obvious that they were not under English control, the Carolinians hired a group of Shawnees, who had moved to the Savannah River in 1674 (possibly as one of many groups leaving the Ohio Valley because of Iroquois raiding) to destroy the Westos.
		The Native Americans had made it clear to the English that slaving on such a large scale was dangerous, and the English concluded that importing slaves from Africa was safer and more profitable.

	GEO-3: GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK
		The region's coastal zones are the foundation of its economy and sustainability - 60 of the 77 largest towns are on the coasts, and 60 per cent of the population lives within 100 km of the coast (Cohen and others 1997).
		Physical alterations of coastlines due to urban growth and the construction of ports and industrial infrastructure are among the major factors that impact the region's coastal and marine ecosystems.
		The direct and indirect effects of tourism on coastal and marine areas can be seen in the increasing conversion of coastal habitats and subsequent impacts.

		American English is a form of the English language used in the United States of America.
		It is often claimed that certain rural areas in North America speak "Elizabethan English," but in fact the standard American English of the upper Midwest has a sound profile much closer to seventeenth century English than the current speech of England has.
		In most varieties of North American English, the sound of the letter "R" is a retroflex semivowel rather than a trill or a tap.

	Central American Cultural Ecology: Mosquito Coast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Mosquito coastal lowland is almost 1000 kilometers long and 150 kilometers wide in some places and is one of the more extensive coastal plains in lower Central America (West 1964a:81).
		The coastal lagoon areas are rapidly filling, the coast is expanding, and prehistoric sites may have been either swept away or buried, or they may be as many as 20 kilometers inland.
		Archaeological research in the area includes studies by Magnus (1976: 1978), who suggested that pre-Columbian peoples exploited both coastal marine and inland farming resources, a pattern mirrored by Nietschmann's (1973) contemporary studies.

	Duke University PhD Degree Program Proposal
		The study of the English language is an intrinsic part of the mission of departments of English.
		Housed in the English Departments, this program would be of great value to many of our present students as they prepare themselves for the competitions of the job market (a glance at the Modern Language Association job listing will reveal just how much linguistics as an area of expertise enhances a new PhD's prospects).
		It will add new courses of immense value to those English graduate students whose interests are primarily literary but who will be able to avail themselves of the widened curriculum and enhance their marketability in the search for academic jobs.

	Development of Coastal Flow and Transport Models in Support of Everglades Restoration
		The development of methods and tools to understand and predict hydrologic conditions within coastal wetlands has been limited due to a lack of field data, and the complexity and number of relevant hydrologic processes, such as tidal and wind forcing, evapotranspiration, overland flow through emergent vegetation, salinity-induced density-dependent flow, and surface-water/ ground-water interactions.
		In southern Florida, the need for robust numerical methods to simulate coastal wetland hydro-logic processes, including the mixing of saltwater and freshwater within a coastal mangrove fringe, was motivated by the ongoing effort to restore the Everglades and Florida Bay.
		Models are needed that can address the response of coastal tidal creeks, estuaries, and embayments to changes in freshwater inflows through the wetlands as affected and altered by restoration actions.

		The natural availability is 483 square km per year in the country, and the per capita figure is in the order of 4,900 square meters/ person/year, which is considered low when compared with other countries.
		The location of the population and of its activities is inversely proportional to the distribution of the availability of water, where the natural availability per capita in the southeast is eight times greater than that in the central, northern and northeastern parts of the country.
		Also, there is the contamination of the main streams of water, which reduces the availability of water for certain uses; also, there is the vulnerability of the coastal areas to extreme hydro-meteorological phenomena.

		Narrated by an elusive German autodidact for whom the present is both a trigger and a portentous remnant of a much-more-vivid past, The Rings of Saturn is structured (and in many ways written) like a high-modernist literary travelogue.
		At first, the sombre landscape Sebald's contemplative narrator describes (the Northeastern English coastal countryside where the author lived for 20 years) seems to be secondary to his persistent, fluid anecdotal digression through human history.
		And as The Rings of Saturn's oddly mesmerizing walking tour progresses, what ultimately emerges is nothing less than a dark, disturbing glimpse of the destructive sweep of human civilization, which Sebald likens at several times to a wildfire, sweeping west and leaving ruin in its wake.

		Acid rain has destroyed plant and animal life in lakes, damaged forests and crops, endangered marine life in coastal waters, eroded structures, and contaminated drinking water.
		Research has shown that although some of the damage attributed to acid rain is a result of natural causes, sulfur dioxide from oil and coal combustion and nitrogen oxides produced from automobile engines have greatly intensified the acid rain problem.
		Canadian emissions contribute substantially to acid rain in the northeastern United States, for example, and much of the sulfur falling in eastern Canada is believed to originate in the United States.

		These highly vulnerable people often live away from the coastal areas affected by the tsunami and will have different needs and interests than those who lost their homes or were forced away because of the rising sea water.
		In order to address the damage of the tsunami to the residents of India’s coastal areas, as well as the many communities whose livelihood is based on trade with these areas, it is necessary to utilize a transparent and fully consultative process responsive to the needs of the entire affected population.
		As the tsunami hit Sri Lanka, the country appeared to be edging closer to a breakdown of the February 2002 ceasefire in the country’s twenty-one-year civil war between the insurgent Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the government.
