The victims were plucked from the 10,085-foot North Sister mountain by Oregon National Guard helicopters late Sunday afternoon. They were taken to the Sisters Airport and then transport ed to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, said Kay Fristad, a spokes woman for the guard. The injured were identified as Nan cy Miller, 40, and James Ellers, 36. Hospital spokeswoman Minta Woll said the two were listed in serious con dition on Monday. Miller and Ellers were on the east side of the mountain with James Brewer, 50, and David Byrne Jr., 39, both of Portland. Brewer and Byrne were able to call 9-1-1 at about 1:20 p.m., alerting authorities that Miller and Ellers were injured, said Lt. Michael Johnston of the De schutes County Sheriff's Office. Miller and Ellers were stabilized on the glacier by search and rescue crews. A helicopter sent by the guard re trieved Miller from around the 8,000 foot mark and then a second helicop ter evacuated Ellers. Johnston said the avalanche started from an area above the group and that they did not trigger it. Three other ava lanches were reported on the moun tain Sunday, but nobody was caught in them, Johnston said. — The Associated Press BBMI: Funding from military helps complement donations Continued from page 1 involved with the initiative, and that number is constantly growing. Psy chology research interests within the BBMI include attention, short-term and long-term memory and signed and spoken language. Posner said the research on atten tion uses the BBMI’s connections with departments that study genet ics to find out which genes are in volved in the development of atten tion in children. This research is then linked to the education depart ment to help determine more effective teaching methods. “Rather than hope they hear about it from reading the journals, we’ve tried to bring people together,” Posner said. Linton said planning for the BBMI began in the late 1990s, and the or ganization first received federal funding in 2000. With the strong support from the U.S. Congress, the BBMI has received $14.3 million in federal funding over the years. The initiative also received a $10 million gift from Robert and Beverly Lewis, which was used to create the Robert and Beverly Lewis Center for Neuroimaging. Additional funding comes from competitive grants awarded to faculty and groups of faculty. “Typically we say more than $40 million has been raised in sup port of the programs and facilities,” Linton said. Linton said the program may have new facilities in the future. The Oregon Nanoscience and Mi crotechnologies Institute plans to have a building on the east side of the Willamette Hall science com plex with construction beginning within the next year. Linton said the next phase, the creation of an Inte grative Science Building, would in clude adding new quarters for the BBMI. He said the University hopes to have sufficient private funding by 2007 to request government funding for the 2007-2009 biennium to begin the project. “I believe that’s part of the fund ing drive for the 125th anniversary,” Posner said. Linton said that while the BBMI is not formally involved with ONAMI or nanoscience research, there may be collaboration in the future. “We’re trying to develop more connections between the bioscience fields and the nanoscience work we do,” Linton said. Linton said the BBMI also re ceives federal funding through the U.S. Army’s Telemedicine and Ad vanced Technology Research Cen ter. Linton said the military is inter ested in the BBMI research not only for “medical applications in the mil itary, but more generally to society.” “They are also interested in how learning occurs, and behavior in stressful environments,” Linton said. Posner said the only BBMI pro gram directly involved with the mil itary is the Neuroinformatics Center. The Neuroinformatics Center, housed in the Riverfront Research Park, uses brain imaging technolo gies such as magnetic resonance im aging (MRI) and electroencephalog raphy (EEG) to analyze brain function and work toward medical applications relating to strokes, ac cording to the Riverfront Research Park Web site. An EEG records the brain’s electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. Pos ner said the center’s project trans mits EEG information from a Flo rence, Ore. hospital to Eugene for analysis via remote informatics. “There’s no real military research going on in any of these constituent groups,” Posner said. evasylwester@ daily emerald, com 0224261 SUMMER 2005 UO GEOGRAPHY The world has many fascinating geographic sights.
