My ancestry includes Colonel Miles (or Myles) Keough (or Keogh) through a relationship that apparently was not formalized with a lady who attended his grave, in a story made famous by many books on the matter. But it can only be true if this lady and her mother named Martin of the New York Governor’s family, whose name is on the wedding certificate of my grandfather as a witness, kept the child a secret all her life. In fact one might even wonder if this child was the offspring of a relationship he had with white Indians like the Mandan. Geneticists can now show the Sioux are white blooded people through Haplogroup X markers as well. Miles’ horse is immortalized in a song by Johnny Horton called ‘Comanche the Brave Horse’ and this horse is stuffed at the Manhattan Kansas museum of the regiment he also brought the tune Gary Owens to, after getting a Papal commendation his family later tore up. Miles was an expert horseman and like Custer he was held in high regard by the Indians. His horse protected him at the end of his life, and the Indians spared it because of its fine acts of bravery.

I also believe that the two Papal medallions which Sitting Bull had were given to him by Keogh rather than taken from his body at the battle. I know he knew he was facing death as he learned the nature of forces aligned against Custer and their support of the Indians. He said so and he sent a secret diary to a trusted associate. He had enormous life insurance policies and half of them were paid to a secret party I suspect might be the Martin who loved him and was committed to caring for his child. I have written a whole book on the situation which amazed me greatly and lead to the assassination of Lincoln by the same groups or cults.

Many people who died with Custer including Miles and Custer’s brother were about to expose the government fraud and graft associated with the Indian Bureau. Custer had the highest political aspirations and a recent Learning Channel archaeology show demonstrated that the Indians had repeating rifles that could fire sixteen shots for every round fired by the troopers. I suspect General Crook hung these men out to dry and others of the Tammany-type who were making huge profits had arranged for the Indians to get these weapons.

Here is a piece on Crazy Horse who is also said to have had red hair like myself; I am sorry to have had to shorten it so much. I am a correspondent with a traditional Sioux adoptee of the celebrated family of Fool’s Crow; and I truly love the people and their knowledge. She is an adept of this family. She says the proper translation of his name would be ‘Berserker (like the Norse warriors) who loves horses’.

“Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko, Oglala

‘A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky. I was hostile to the white man… we preferred hunting to a life of idleness on our reservations. At times we did not get enough to eat and we were not allowed to hunt. All we wanted was peace and to be left alone. Soldiers came and destroyed our villages. Then Long Hair (Custer) came…They say we massacred him, but he would have done the same to us…’

Crazy Horse (Tashunkewitko) was born on the Republican River about 1845. He was killed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, in 1877, so that he lived barely thirty-three years.

He was an uncommonly handsome man. While not the equal of Gall in magnificence and imposing stature, he was physically perfect, an Apollo in symmetry. Furthermore he was a true type of Indian refinement and grace. He was modest and courteous as Chief Joseph; the difference is that he was a born warrior, while Joseph was not. However, he was a gentle warrior, a true brave, who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux. Notwithstanding all that biased historians have said of him, it is only fair to judge a man by the estimate of his own people rather than that of his enemies.

The boyhood of Crazy Horse was passed in the days when the western Sioux saw a white man but seldom, and then it was usually a trader or a soldier. He was carefully brought up according to the tribal customs. At that period the Sioux prided themselves on the training and development of their sons and daughters, and not a step in that development was overlooked as an excuse to bring the child before the public by giving a feast in its honor. At such times the parents often gave so generously to the needy that they almost impoverished themselves, thus setting an example to the child of self-denial for the general good. His first step alone, the first word spoken, first game killed, the attainment of manhood or womanhood, each was the occasion of a feast and dance in his honor, at which the poor always benefited to the full extent of the parents’ ability…

He was perhaps four or five years old when the band was snowed in one severe winter. They were very short of food, but his father was a tireless hunter. The buffalo, their main dependence, were not to be found, but he was out in the storm and cold every day and finally brought in two antelopes. The little boy got on his pet pony and rode through the camp, telling the old folks to come to his mother’s teepee for meat. It turned out that neither his father nor mother had authorized him to do this. Before they knew it, old men and women were lined up before the teepee home, ready to receive the meat, in answer to his invitation. As a result, the mother had to distribute nearly all of it, keeping only enough for two meals.

On the following day the child asked for food. His mother told him that the old folks had taken it all, and added: ‘Remember, my son, they went home singing praises in your name, not my name or your father’s. You must be brave. You must live up to your reputation.’

… In those days the Sioux had but few guns, and the hunting was mostly done with bow and arrows.

…They came to some wild cherry trees full of ripe fruit, and while they were enjoying it, the brothers were startled by the growl and sudden rush of a bear. Young Crazy Horse pushed his brother up into the nearest tree and himself sprang upon the back of one of the horses, which was frightened and ran some distance before he could control him. As soon as he could, however, he turned him about and came back, yelling and swinging his lariat over his head. The bear at first showed fight but finally turned and ran. The old man who told me this story added that young as he was, he had some power, so that even a grizzly did not care to tackle him. I believe it is a fact that a silver-tip will dare anything except a bell or a lasso line, so that accidentally the boy had hit upon the very thing which would drive him off…

At the age of sixteen he joined a war party against the Gros Ventres. He was well in the front of the charge, and at once established his bravery by following closely one of the foremost Sioux warriors, by the name of Hump, drawing the enemy’s fire and circling around their advance guard. Suddenly Hump’s horse was shot from under him, and there was a rush of warriors to kill or capture him while down. But amidst a shower of arrows the youth leaped from his pony, helped his friend into his own saddle, sprang up behind him, and carried him off in safety, although they were hotly pursued by the enemy. Thus he associated himself in his maiden battle with the wizard of Indian warfare, and Hump, who was then at the height of his own career, pronounced Crazy Horse the coming warrior of the Teton Sioux.

At this period of his life… he spent much time in prayer and solitude. Just what happened in these days of his fasting in the wilderness and upon the crown of bald buttes, no one will ever know; for these things may only be known when one has lived through the battles of life to an honored old age. He was much sought after by his youthful associates, but was noticeably reserved and modest; yet in the moment of danger he at once rose above them all — a natural leader! Crazy Horse was a typical Sioux brave, and from the point of view of our race an ideal hero, living at the height of the epical progress of the American Indian and maintaining in his own character all that was most subtle and ennobling of their spiritual life, and that has since been lost in the contact with a material civilization…

It was observed of him that when he pursued the enemy into their stronghold, as he was wont to do, he often refrained from killing, and simply struck them with a switch, showing that he did not fear their weapons nor care to waste his upon them. In attempting this very feat, he lost this only brother of his, who emulated him closely. A party of young warriors, led by Crazy Horse, had dashed upon a frontier post, killed one of the sentinels, stampeded the horses, and pursued the herder to the very gate of the stockade, thus drawing upon themselves the fire of the garrison. The leader escaped without a scratch, but his young brother was brought down from his horse and killed….

..He was no orator nor was he the son of a chief. His success and influence was purely a matter of personality. He had never fought the whites up to this time, and indeed no “coup” was counted for killing or scalping a white man.

…Their former agreements had been by individual bands, each for itself, and every one was friendly. They reasoned that the country was wide, and that the white traders should be made welcome. Up to this time they had anticipated no conflict. They had permitted the Oregon Trail, but now to their astonishment forts were built and garrisoned in their territory.

Most of the chiefs advocated a strong resistance. There were a few influential men who desired still to live in peace, and who were willing to make another treaty. Among these were White Bull, Two Kettle, Four Bears, and Swift Bear. Even Spotted Tail, afterward the great peace chief, was at this time with the majority, who decided in the year 1866 to defend their rights and territory by force. Attacks were to be made upon the forts within their country and on every trespasser on the same…

…It was rumored that the army would fight the Sioux to a finish; again, it was said that another commission would be sent out to treat with them.

The Indians came together early in June, and formed a series of encampments stretching out from three to four miles, each band keeping separate camp. On June 17, scouts came in and reported the advance of a large body of troops under General Crook. The council sent Crazy Horse with seven hundred men to meet and attack him. These were nearly all young men, many of them under twenty, the flower of the hostile Sioux. They set out at night so as to steal a march upon the enemy, but within three or four miles of his camp they came unexpectedly upon some of his Crow scouts. There was a hurried exchange of shots; the Crows fled back to Crook’s camp, pursued by the Sioux. The soldiers had their warning, and it was impossible to enter the well-protected camp. Again and again Crazy Horse charged with his bravest men, in the attempt to bring the troops into the open, but he succeeded only in drawing their fire. Toward afternoon he withdrew, and returned to camp disappointed. His scouts remained to watch Crook’s movements, and later brought word that he had retreated to Goose Creek and seemed to have no further disposition to disturb the Sioux. It is well known to us that it is Crook rather than Reno who is to be blamed for cowardice in connection with Custer’s fate. The latter had no chance to do anything, he was lucky to save himself; but if Crook had kept on his way, as ordered, to meet Terry, with his one thousand regulars and two hundred Crow and Shoshone scouts, he would inevitably have intercepted Custer in his advance and saved the day for him, and war with the Sioux would have ended right there. Instead of this, he fell back upon Fort Meade, eating his horses on the way, in a country swarming with game, for fear of Crazy Horse and his braves!

…while many were out upon the daily hunt.

On this twenty-fifth of June, 1876, the great camp was scattered for three miles or more along the level river bottom, back of the thin line of cottonwoods — five circular rows of teepees, ranging from half a mile to a mile and a half in circumference. Here and there stood out a large, white, solitary teepee; these were the lodges {Mediwiwin are Masons} or “clubs” of the young men. Crazy Horse was a member of the “Strong Hearts” and the “Tokala” or Fox lodge. He was watching a game of ring-toss when the warning came from the southern end of the camp of the approach of troops…

That leader had quickly saddled his favorite war pony and was starting with his young men for the south end of the camp, when a fresh alarm came from the opposite direction, and looking up, he saw Custer’s force upon the top of the bluff directly across the river. As quick as a flash, he took in the situation — the enemy had planned to attack the camp at both ends at once; and knowing that Custer could not ford the river at that point, he instantly led his men northward to the ford to cut him off. The Cheyennes followed closely. Custer must have seen that wonderful dash up the sage-bush plain, and one wonders whether he realized its meaning. In a very few minutes, this wild general of the plains had outwitted one of the most brilliant leaders of the Civil War and ended at once his military career and his life….

… From time to time, delegations of friendly Indians were sent to him, to urge him to come in to the reservation, promising a full hearing and fair treatment.

For some time he held out, but the rapid disappearance of the buffalo, their only means of support, probably weighed with him more than any other influence. In July, 1877, he was finally prevailed upon to come in to Fort Robinson, Nebraska, with several thousand Indians, most of them Ogallala and Minneconwoju Sioux, on the distinct understanding that the government would hear and adjust their grievances.

At this juncture General Crook proclaimed Spotted Tail, who had rendered much valuable service to the army, head chief of the Sioux, which was resented by many. The attention paid Crazy Horse was offensive to Spotted Tail and the Indian scouts, who planned a conspiracy against him. They reported to General Crook that the young chief would murder him at the next council, and stampede the Sioux into another war. He was urged not to attend the council and did not, but sent another officer to represent him. Meanwhile the friends of Crazy Horse discovered the plot and told him of it. His reply was, ‘Only cowards are murderers.’

His wife was critically ill at the time, and he decided to take her to her parents at Spotted Tail agency, whereupon his enemies circulated the story that he had fled, and a party of scouts was sent after him. They overtook him riding with his wife and one other but did not undertake to arrest him, and after he had left the sick woman with her people he went to call on Captain Lea, the agent for the Brules, accompanied by all the warriors of the Minneconwoju band. This volunteer escort made an imposing appearance on horseback, shouting and singing, and in the words of Captain Lea himself and the missionary, the Reverend Mr. Cleveland, the situation was extremely critical. Indeed, the scouts who had followed Crazy Horse from Red Cloud agency were advised not to show themselves, as some of the warriors had urged that they be taken out and horsewhipped publicly. Under these circumstances Crazy Horse again showed his masterful spirit by holding these young men in check. He said to them in his quiet way: ‘It is well to be brave in the field of battle; it is cowardly to display bravery against one’s own tribesmen. These scouts have been compelled to do what they did; they are no better than servants of the white officers. I came here on a peaceful errand.’

The captain urged him to report at army headquarters to explain himself and correct false rumors, and on his giving consent, furnished him with a wagon and escort. It has been said that he went back under arrest, but this is untrue. Indians have boasted that they had a hand in bringing him in, but their stories are without foundation. He went of his own accord, either suspecting no treachery or determined to defy it.

When he reached the military camp, Little Big Man walked arm-in-arm with him, and his cousin and friend, Touch-the-Cloud, was just in advance. After they passed the sentinel, an officer approached them and walked on his other side. He was unarmed but for the knife which is carried for ordinary uses by women as well as men. Unsuspectingly he walked toward the guardhouse, when Touch-the-Cloud suddenly turned back exclaiming: ‘Cousin, they will put you in prison!’

‘Another white man’s trick! Let me go! Let me die fighting!’ cried Crazy Horse. He stopped and tried to free himself and draw his knife, but both arms were held fast by Little Big Man and the officer. While he struggled thus, a soldier thrust him through with his bayonet from behind. The wound was mortal, and he died in the course of that night, his old father singing the death song over him and afterward carrying away the body, which they said must not be further polluted by the touch of a white man. They hid it somewhere in the Bad Lands, his resting place to this day.

Thus died one of the ablest and truest American Indians. His life was ideal; his record clean. He was never involved in any of the numerous massacres on the trail, but was a leader in practically every open fight. Such characters as those of Crazy Horse and Chief Joseph are not easily found among so-called civilized people. The reputation of great men is apt to be shadowed by questionable motives and policies, but here are two pure patriots, as worthy of honor as any who ever breathed God’s air in the wide spaces of a new world.” (18)

MPM is an illness that affects the lung pleura, or lining of the lungs. Serous membranes surround the lungs, and mesothelioma is a form of cancer that strikes those membranes. Other serous membranes can be affected also including those surrounding the abdomen and heart. The term lung cancer relates precisely to cancers which originate in the lung area.

One distinction separating asbestosis and pleural mesothelioma on account of the fact that the latter is cancer and the former is not. Asbestosis originates in the lungs and is triggered by breathing in asbestos fibers that come to be embedded in the pleura. MPM cancer accounts for roughly 75% of all mesothelioma cases.

Chest pains and difficulty breathing are typical symptoms, but the pain can manifest itself in other regions of the body.The detection often transpires when the maturing tumors stretch the pleural area, producing pain as it fills with fluid. This is known as pleural effusion.

Visiting a Doctor

The typical approach for someone suspected of peritoneal mesothelioma consists of noninvasive lab tests, serum tumor markers, X-rays, and computed tomography (CT) scans of the appropriate regions. Markers are substances typically found in the blood or urine that present themselves as reactions to cancer cells. The presence, alteration, and change in quantity of these substances are measured to assist in the discovery of cancer and assessment of treatments. Over 80% of all cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma will exhibit an enlarged pleural area in chest X-rays.

Pulmonary function exams are used to assess the ability of the lungs to inhale, release, and transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma often display restrictive breathing patterns and reduced oxygen transfer.

Immediate and accurate diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma is pivotal in order to differentiate it from adenocarcinoma, a cancer that is born in tissues of the glands. Sometimes , a sample must be extracted by fine needle removal from the tumor, especially if there is no apparent effusion.

A Computed Tomography scan provides additional contrast and sensitivity to identify the existence of pleural expansion, tumors, enlargement of the lymph nodes, and verification of asbestos exposure. If surgery is under evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging can determine the extent of the tumor within areas such as the diaphragm and ribs. It can also aid in the planning and process of localized radiotherapy.

Recent Advances

Positron emission tomography is an imaging technique to identify chest involvement and movement of the cancerous cells to other parts of the body. PET is nuclear-based and uses small quantities of radioactive substance to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, and has the capability to differentiate malignant pleural masses from benign masses.

In the event that noninvasive tests are not conclusive, thoracoscopy is valuable in evaluating the nature and extent of pleural and lung lesions. Thoracoscopy can be used to help in surgical procedures as well as visualization of the impacted area. Referred to as VATS, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery takes on a small chance of dispersing a tumor along the incisions and chest tube tracts. Invasive exams such as colonoscopy and endoscopy are commonly required to expel colon and stomach cancer.

In the land of liberty, paralegals owe a great debt of gratitude to a couple of organizations. Of course, there are other professional organizations that have contributed to the evolution of the paralegal as a prominent career in the field of law, but the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) and the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) have stood out. Boasting tens of thousands of members between them, these competing organizations’ have helped sculpt and influence the language of the paralegal (also called legal assistant by NALA) field for decades.

Essential fact-finding criteria to keep in mind when analyzing a paralegal program:

1. Paralegal programs should not only teach legal concepts but they should also provide practical real world job skills. In addition, any reputable paralegal school curriculum would encompass everything from legal contacts and legal writing to ethics and torts. Top notch Paralegal programs should also offer the opportunity for students to gain work experience through practicum or an internship.

2. You’ve done some research and narrowed your “possibilities” down to a few paralegal schools. Now you need to ask yourself a few questions. Are the teachers any good? Is the curriculum applicable in today’s legal arena? Good questions and here are a few answers. Look for the program director to have a law degree and a solid track record of experience working as an educator or trainer in the legal field. Find out if the instructors are paralegals with real-world work experience who really know their stuff and with impeccable educational credentials.

3. A broadening number of paralegal schools and universities have made their entire paralegal degree training programs available online. However, it’s recommended that before any wanna-be student signs up they find answers to a few important points. First, how will the material be delivered? Will all lectures be live interactive video or DVD tele-courses, or text-based with access via the web or a combination thereof? Also, because of the nature of the learning it takes much more self motivation and discipline to compete the work. Do you have what it takes to learn online?

You want to become a paralegal. Sounds like a great career and it is, but like any profession your natural born skills and personality traits need to match up with the job requirements in order to be happy and successful. So what traits do you need to succeed as a paralegal? Well, you must enjoy research; have the ability to write in legal ease, have above average communication skills and not fold under pressure. If this sounds like you, then I hear a paralegal degree calling your name.

Algebra is one of the most crucial and leading branches of mathematics. Although at first it may seem to just fly over your head, practice helps in making understanding matters a lot better. One has to keep learning this subject field at higher educational levels like college, thus it is crucial to create a sound base from the beginning.

Areas that are Tough

Algebra includes many areas of study, graphing being one of them. This could include charting a circle, graphing systems of fractional inequalities, graphing inequalities or graphing quadratic equations. Some Other topic that is part of algebra has to do with exponents. This can range from subtracting exponents, dividing exponents or just applying the laws of exponents. Rationalizing, factorizing, matrices, hyperbolas and quadratics all have to do with algebra.

It is normally agreed that algebra is a difficult subject area. Even So, in today’s day and age that is not a trouble as nearly every student is capable of getting to and using a computer. A pupil can easily use online mathematics programs that instruct and test students. For practicing and enhancing skills, there are worksheets available in these software. Online tutors are also accessible and are easy to contact. These tutors charge an hourly rate and tutor students as if they were face to face.

Getting Assistance with Algebra

There are a large number of software packages that can help pupils. These computer programs provide gradual guides to help pupils over their difficulties. These software systems can help you with your homework, test readiness and even exam readiness! As algebra has a vast number of sub-sections you can choose software programs that link to your particular difficulty or problem. This could be complex equations, inequalities, functions, or just graphing. Some software programs also include games and videos that could further develop your algebraic skills.

Algebra calculators are also available online. They can help solve some types of algebraic questions. Mostly these will include questions that have to do with quadratic equations or quadratic inequalities . Different calculators allow you to construct graphs at the click of a button.

Though these software packages and other aids can aid many people overcome a great number of problems, it is important that they are used for the right function. Using these facilities for cheating would only be a loss to yourself. These software system are ideally used for double-checking your answers of your assignments rather than using them to complete the real papers.

One of the matters often toward the very bottom of the pile whilst planning a college education is health insurance for college students. Most students are in the mindset where the need for a health insurance policy is the final thing on their mind. As a student in your teens you will generally tend to think that you will live forever so you will never become sick.

Regrettably, this is seldom a sound position regardless of how fit an individual might seem. An inexpensive student medical insurance policy is not for the comfortably off, it is an essential. Individuals who are covered by their parent’s policy are more often than not covered up to they are twenty-three. For individuals who do not currently have insurance coverage under a family plan, getting insurance plans for affordable student health insurance should be a crucial part of budgeting for school. What should you look out for in an insurance plan for college students? What’s a deductible? This is a yearly payment that has to be made before the medical benefits are available, like a car insurance policy. For example, if your deductible is five hundred dollars, $500 has to be paid before receiving financial benefits from the insurance. What’s your co-pay? Once your deductible is covered, normally for each physician’s visit, medication, or operation you will need to pay a pre-determined part of the bill. This is called co-pay.

What’s your area of cover? Numerous plans are Health Maintenance Organization or Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). This means certain doctors may not be in your list of health providers and might not be included by a health insurance policy. A directory of participating health professionals are provided with your insurance plan, check this carefully when choosing a health policy designed for college students.

What does the phrase catastrophic insurance coverage mean? There is frequently a limit on student medical insurance plans as far as terminal illness, and for most health insurance for students, the cover is in general less than a regular medical insurance policy. And what about the restrictions? Student health coverage plans normally include diverse limitations. Study your insurance policy and see what your insurance policy will cover. Carry all the health insurance papers nearby at all times. It is not only impossible to plan for an accident or an illness, but they are most likely to hit at an awkward time. So take care you’re acquainted with the particulars of your health insurance, whether you’re included with your parent’s insurance or you have taken your own selection of insurance.

It is very easy to overlook health insurance policies when planning an education. At that age, health insurance isn’t typically a priority in a student’s mind. Let’s face it, in your 20’s you will usually believe that you will live forever and of course you will not become sick. As we all know, no matter how well an individual might seem, this is no guarantee of their continuing good health. The correct health insurance isn’t just for the comfortably off, it’s actually a necessity.

For those who are included in a parent’s insurance policy, most family insurance policies should include a student up to the age of 23. For the individual who does not have health coverage through their family plan, a crucial part of planning for college must be finding inexpensive medical insurance.

Be sure to inspect our reliable resource for student health insurance program clues…

What is important in a policy directed at students? What’s a deductible? It’s an annual sum you have to pay before your health benefits are available, comparable to an auto deductible. An example might be, if your deductible is five hundred dollars, 500 dollars has to be paid prior to claiming any financial benefits connected with the plan. So what does co-pay mean? Once you have paid your deductible, nearly all medical insurance policies require you to contribute a part of the cost of each visit to the doctor, medication or procedure. That, succinctly is a co-pay. What should your health insurance policy include? Many insurance policies include HMO or PPA. This means particular specialists might be omitted from your “network” and may not be included on the medical insurance plan. A list of approved health professionals are provided with your medical insurance policy, so be sure to look at this when you are selecting a medical insurance plan. What is catastrophic coverage? Be mindful that there may be a limit on college student health insurance policies in particular as far as serious illness, the extent of cover offered in most student health insurance is in general less than any regular plan. Limitations: Student health coverage plans commonly include certain limitations. It is essential to study the insurance policy thoroughly to check just what is and isn’t covered in any policy. Keep any insurance details secure at all times. It is not just impossible to plan for an accident or illness, they are also likely to happen at the worst possible time. Familiarize yourself with the ins and outs particular to your health insurance, whether you’re included with your parent’s insurance or you have taken your own selection of insurance.
