Extractions: Another step toward nationwide network of 10 centers for study of regional culture WASHINGTON, D.C., July 24, 2000The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced $50,000 awards to four universities to develop major centers for regional history and culture. The Ohio University in Athens; the University of California, Davis; Northern Illinois University in DeKalb; and the University of Wisconsin, Madison join 16 other universities selected last December to receive planning grants in the first phase of NEH's Regional Humanities Centers initiative. The initiative is designed to create a nationwide network of 10 major regional centers devoted to research, cultural preservation, public programming and lifelong learning about the history, people, traditions and landscapes that characterize America's regions. The 10 regions identified for the NEH initiative are Pacific, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, Plains, Upper Mississippi Valley, Central, Deep South, South Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, New England. The planning awards made to the 20 universities came from a fund raised primarily through private donations. Grants were awarded on the basis of each institution's existing resources, capacity for original research and documentation of regional heritage, plans for educational outreach to schools, communities, and cultural tourists, and commitment to creating regionwide partnerships. "Regional centers are part of NEH's strategy for bringing the humanities to all Americans," said NEH Deputy Director John Roberts. "Not only will the centers be closer to us geographically. They will also appeal to our 'sense of place'-a sense that we all have, though we don't often think about it-just as we all have other senses like seeing, hearing and so forth. The places where we grew up, which we have chosen to call home, or to which we travel for rest and relaxation all mean something to us. The people, landscape, customs and stories have touched us one way or another and help to make us who we are."
Extractions: WASHINGTON, March 21, 2001The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced that the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has made a $2.5 million gift in support of NEH's Regional Humanities Centers Initiative. The gift-the single largest ever awarded to the NEH by a private sector donor-will help create a nationwide network of 10 major regional centers dedicated to preservation, research and lifelong learning about the heritage and cultures of America's regions. "We are deeply grateful for Knight Foundation's generous investment in our vision to create regional centers," said NEH Chairman William R. Ferris. "Regional centers are at the heart of NEH efforts to encourage all of us to rediscover America. They will highlight that special sense of place which connects us to where we grew up or to where we live now. Regional centers will deepen our understanding and pride in the people, culture and history that make every community in our nation unique." "NEH has come up with a superbly creative idea built on an enduring truth about our vast country," said Hodding Carter, president and CEO of Knight Foundation. "We are a land of many regions and peoples, and our culture reflects that diversity. Knight Foundation is delighted to be participating with NEH in building an innovative approach to that national reality."

Extractions: Climate Mostly temperate, but tropical in Hawaii and Florida, arctic in Alaska, semiarid in the great plains west of the Mississippi River, and arid in the Great Basin of the southwest; low winter temperatures in the northwest are ameliorated occasionally in January and February by warm chinook winds from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Natural hazards: tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquake activity around Pacific Basin; hurricanes along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts; tornadoes in the midwest and southeast; mud slides in California; forest fires in the west; flooding; permafrost in northern Alaska, a major impediment to development.

Related Web Sites The CNMI consists of a volcanic and limestone archipelago of 14 islands extending in a generally north-south direction for 338 nautical miles for a land area of 176 square miles. Saipan is the largest island (46 square miles), and is the urban, commercial and government center. The islands of Rota (32 square miles) and Tinian (39 square miles) are largely rural. History and Recent Development In the past, much of the CNMI's notoriety stemmed from its role in World War II, but an expanding tourist market has spurred the construction and garment manufacturing industries and contributed to a large alien labor population, now outnumbering native island residents. From 1980 -1997, the CNMI's population increased 275%, from 16,780 to 63,000. The development boom has resulted in an escalation in land prices, rapid inflation, increases in housing starts and the construction of many hotels, resorts, apartments, golf courses and commercial establishments.

Extractions: Disaster History With a breadth of 8,000 miles, FEMA Region IX is responsible for the largest geographic region in the country. It has more than 2.7 million residents, residing on a landmass of approximately 390,000 square miles. Earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, typhoons, tornados, volcanic eruptions, severe freezes, flooding and droughts, and other natural and manmade disasters challenge the region. Since the passage of the Stafford Act in 1988, FEMA Region IX has experienced 50 Presidential Disaster Declarations, obligating $10.4 billion to date. Of these, the Northridge Earthquake in 1994 was the greatest disaster in terms of cost to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, obligating $7 billion to date. As of August 2002, FEMA Region IX had five Presidential Disaster Declarations: two in the Federated States of Micronesia, one in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands, one in the Territory of Guam and another in the State of Arizona. The region also had federal funds authorized for 17 wildfires: six in Arizona, seven in California and four in Nevada.

The Northern Marianas: A Fragile Island Economy Jeopardized by the Asian Economic Crisis For the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the past two years have been the worst in economic history since World War II ravaged the islands. Due to the Asian economic crisis, tourism, the leading industry is down over 30%. Many hotels particularly small, family-run operations are barely hanging on to their businesses. The community is reeling from an unprecedented downturn, which began suddenly and severely in late 1997. With fewer tourist dollars circulating in the Northern Marianas, every segment of the economy is suffering. From 1995 to 1998, tourism-based employment decreased from 48.3% to just 34.5%. More than 1,300 companies did not renew their licenses from 1997 to 1998, resulting in a net business decline of 11%. Among the worst hit by the economic crisis, retail and auto sales have been cut nearly in half. The number of empty storefronts continues to grow at an alarming rate.
