Rift Valley Fever is a problem
among livestock and breeders in
Africa. It is spread through mos
quito bites and contact with bodily
fluids from an infected animal.
The HSD is now accepting appli
cations for a fourth center, focusing
on behavioral and social aspects of
terrorism and counterterrorism.
Ridge said centers like these are
vital to the national defense effort.
“In every area of human en
deavor, research and develop
ment is the engine that drives our
nation to a better and brighter fu
ture,” Ridge said.
“But the government can’t do it
alone. In each of these cases, part
nerships between the government
and academics, business and scien
tists produce together what would
be impossible individually.”

houses in the Southwest, icy
rivers with snow banks, plains
landscapes and the flora and
fauna within them.
The collection is not limited
to just American scenes of life.
One of the latest works in the
collection features a style that
includes the artist stamp in red,
which is commonly seen in
Japanese works.
The artists started with the
gift print because during that
time people did not have money
to spend on art, Hastedt said.

“Because they were based in

country that there was a hunger
for that kind of art in the Mid
west,” Hastedt said.
Upon viewing “The Prai

enthusiast Ann Harper said “I
think it’s an excellent exhibit.”
Harper’s friend and artist
Linda Guinasso said she thinks

of the approval for a life sci
ences building. Casone is part of
the six-person committee for the
building to house interdisciplin
ary faculty and to fulfill the needs
of the biology department.
The idea for the building has been
around since 1997, Casone said.
“It has created a lot of inter
est, concern and controversy,”
Casone said. “But the University
has fallen behind in paying for
infrastructures. If you compare
(other universities), we have
much less financial support.”
So far, the project has $100 mil
lion to start out, which Casone de
scribed as “coming out of the sky.”
The building would likely be lo
cated in the current Microscopy and
Imaging Center. The Life Sciences
Committee is asking for themes for
the building to present to A&M
President Robert M. Gates. Cur
rently, they are considering neuro
sciences, genomics and micromac-
ular structures as possible themes.
“This is a positive develop
ment that the University has de
cided to build this facility. We
haven’t identified how it will be
supported. We need to figure it
out and bite the bullet,” Casone
said. “Without it, it will be hard to
attract faculty. It’s a catch-22.”
shot back and killed the driver, the military said.
A soldier and a civilian traveling behind the
patrol were’killed. A second soldier was injured
and evacuated. Thick black smoke enveloped the
area from an oil tanker set ablaze in the attack.
The deaths came a day after four U.S. Marines
were killed in a vehicle accident near Camp Fal-
lujah in western Iraq. At least 875 service mem
bers have died since the military operations in
Iraq began last year, according to the U.S. De
fense Department.
Of those, at least 651 died as a result of hos
tile action.
Also Sunday, insurgents fired mortar rounds
at the Abu Ghraib prison, the center of a scan
dal involving alleged abuse of Iraqi detainees by
U.S. guards. One person was injured.
The attack was the third by insurgents on the
facility since a mortar attack on in April killed 22
Iraqi detainees and wounded over 100, the mili
tary said. Coalition forces are now holding over
2,300 Iraqis for taking part in activities threaten
ing the coalition forces and their Iraqi allies.

ment to agree to withdraw its 51 peacekeepers.
Initially, the group gave Manila until Sunday
night to agree to a July 20 pullout or it would kill
Filipino truck driver Angelo dela Cruz.
That July 20 pullout would be a month earlier
than scheduled.
The Philippine government said Saturday it
was sticking to the scheduled Aug! 20 date be
cause of “our commitment to the free people of
Iraq.’’ The government also said de la Cruz had
been freed, but the militants denied that in a mes
sage broadcast by Al-Jazeera television.
On Sunday, the group said the government
had until Tuesday to change its mind.
“There are good signals that the exte

hours,” Labor Secretary Patricia Santo Ti
