	Prairie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prairie refers to an area of land in North America of low topographic relief that principally supports grasses and herbs, with few trees, and is generally of a mesic (moderate or temperate) climate.
		In Canada, the terms prairie provinces and the prairies refer to the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
		Prairies are considered part of the temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome by ecologists, based on similar temperate climates, moderate rainfall, and grasses, herbs, and shrubs, rather than trees, as the dominant vegetation type.

	Prairie madness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prairie madness is a term that describes an affliction that was common in the United States among white settlers of the Great Plains during the mid to late 1800's.
		The term describes a 'madness' due to the effect of extreme isolation on an individual.
		This individual would realize that they were surrounded by hundreds of miles of prairie land, with no neighbors or anyone to talk to, it often became too much to bear and mental breakdowns would occur shortly thereafter.

		Out on the prairie, a sense of fatalism, powerlessness, madness is in the air.
		Of course, when we poisoned the prairie dogs, (in the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s) we also poisoned the fl footed ferrets, right to the brink of extinction.
		If we had an ecosystem that was dynamic and healthy and complex, that hadn't been over-grazed, and still had predators in place, we would survive the cyclical expansion of prairie dog towns.

		Since Prairie City marked a point where the trail often became impassable in winter, the pioneers used it as a stopover until spring.
		As legend has it, Prairie City was imbued with a mysterious force that kept its supposedly temporary residents from resuming their journeys.
		Like so many people in Prairie City, my face has been subjected to a kind of wind that blows in so hard from the north that you find yourself reaching for a tree in order to stay on the ground, only to realize there are no trees, just an ocean of grass.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - The Quality of Life Report by Meghan Daum
		I'd been thinking a lot about a phenomenon called prairie madness, which was a kind of mental illness that afflicted many of the early settlers to the region, particularly those who came from the east during the Homestead Act of 1863.
		Since I was living at the time in a very small house out in the country (literally a little house on the prairie) I started thinking about how prairie madness might affect a contemporary person.
		It's only when she becomes of the land (she starts making the mistakes that lead to her maturity, she develops prairie madness and survives) that the love becomes authentic.

	Early Birds - Plains Grouse - Hunting in South Dakota and Nebraska , South Dakota
		You step into a flock of prairie grouse, and a bird blasts out of the grass in front of you, two more flush off to the side, and five jump up somewhere else, in random, discombobulating order.
		Hunters who walk the grasslands for sharptails and chickens, the two species of prairie grouse, pay a high price for their birds in sweat and boot leather.
		At press time, the prairies were cool and wet again, but South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks biologist Tony Leif says hunters should keep their fingers crossed.

	The Quality of Life Report - Meghan Daum - Penguin Group (USA)
		Moving to the slower- paced, friendly, and vastly more affordable Midwestern town of Prairie City, Lucinda zealously creates a series of televised reports for her New York audience about her newfound quality of life.
		But when Lucinda falls for eccentric local Mason Clay, her naïveté about the real world leads her down an unexpected path, where she encounters, among other things, a drafty old farmhouse filled with children, an ever-growing menagerie of farm animals, and the harshest winter the region has seen in twenty years.
		For years, Prairie City's welcome sign had read a great place to live until, under an initiative to promote diversity, the city council voted to change the motto to open arms, open minds.

	The Lawyers Weigh In On Midnight Madness Copyright!! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		I did a little research and discovered that MIDNIGHT MADNESS is a registered trademark for "shoes and clothing, namely sweatshirts, t-shirts, sweatpants" owned by a company called Morgan Corporation, a Kansas Corporation out of Prairie Village, Kansas (Roy...did you do this???).
		What constitutes "similar goods" is where the art comes in, but for example, Morgan Corporation could probably prevent somebody from selling gym shorts or socks with MIDNIGHT MADNESS printed on them based on their existing registration.
		BUT...(and this is a big "but"), Duke could very well register the mark MIDNIGHT MADNESS for something like "basketball services, namely a televised midnight basketball practice and entertainment event." Neither of the current MIDNIGHT MADNESS trademark owners could prevent Duke from doing this solely on the basis of their existing registrations.

		If anything is wanting in Trout's Manhattan existence, it is space, substance and maybe a man. She gets all three when her fat-phobic boss, Faye Figaro, sends her on assignment to Prairie City to do an investigative report on the growing epidemic of methamphetamine addiction among mid-western housewives.
		After a week of interviewing women in various stages of substance-abuse recovery, Trout imagines the limitless story possibilities provided by the "real" folk of this "real" town.
		And with socially conscious lesbians vouching for the community, twelve hundred square feet renting for five hundred dollars a month, and the prospect of meeting a Sam Shepard look-alike, Trout decides to make Prairie City her new home.
