We have implemented a 2D electrostastic plasma particle in cell (PIC) simulation code on the Caltech/JPL Mark IIIfp Hypercube. The code simulates plasma effects by evolving in time the trajectories of thousands to millions of charged particles subject to their self-consistent fields. Each particle`s position and velocity is advanced in time using a leap frog method for integrating Newton`s equations of motion in electric and magnetic fields. The electric field due to these moving charged particles is calculated on a spatial grid at each time by solving Poisson`s equation in Fourier space. These two tasks represent the largest part of the computation. To obtain efficient operation on a distributed memory parallel computer, we are using the General Concurrent PIC (GCPIC) algorithm previously developed for a 1D parallel PIC code.

Article describes the history of the "Five Civilized Tribes" who advocated for assimilation with whites during Oklahoma's territorial period. W. David Baird explores the identity crisis these tribes faced in the eyes of the public and explores related literature.

Article discusses the flight schools in Oklahoma that left an impact on U.S. Army Air Force history by training pilots for participation in World War II. Leo Kelley includes recollections from the pilots who trained in these schools to create a portrait of the experience.

Article describes the period of historic preservation in the 1980s in Guthrie, Oklahoma to restore the downtown area. Charles L. W. Leider discusses resource surveys of the area and recommendations for preservation of the Victorian-style architecture.

Two articles, one written by Elaine Schad titled 'The Art of Teaching Art' and another by Susan Shelton titled 'Denton school participates in art program', for the Denton Record-Chronicle. Both pieces cover art education in local schools and the help of NTIEVA and their teaching of DBAE.

A clipping of an article by Susan Shelton for the Denton Record-Chronicle about the new NTIEVA program's reworking of art education in Metroplex schools. Another piece by Shelton that is included covers Dr. Warren Carver's support of the program.

Dynamic load balancing has been implemented in a concurrent one-dimensional electromagnetic plasma particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code using a method which adds very little overhead to the parallel code. In PIC codes, the orbits of many interacting plasma electrons and ions are followed as an initial value problem as the particles move in electromagnetic fields calculated self-consistently from the particle motions. The code was implemented using the GCPIC algorithm in which the particles are divided among processors by partitioning the spatial domain of the simulation. The problem is load-balanced by partitioning the spatial domain so that each partition has approximately the same number of particles. During the simulation, the partitions are dynamically recreated as the spatial distribution of the particles changes in order to maintain processor load balance.

Article discusses the construction of the First German Methodist Church in Oklahoma City and its activities during the territorial period. Christiane Brandt Faris provides historical context for the motivations of its founders and the remaining aspects of the church's impact.

Article describes the excavation of the ruins of Fort Towson conducted by the Oklahoma Historical Society in the 1970s after a fire destroyed it in 1857. Through analysis of the archaeological findings, William B. Lees constructs a picture of what the commanding officer's quarters would have looked like before the fort's destruction.

An article from the High Points Pilot Point ISD newsletter written by Jackie McBroom about the Gee Junior High School and new art program led by the NTIEVA group. At the bottom are pictures of the new teachers.

Article describes the life and career of middleweight boxing champion Tom Abbott, the grandfather of the author. Devon Abbott illustrates his impact not just in the ring, but in his careers as a football and track coach and a chief of police in McAlester, Oklahoma.

Article purporting that an encounter with the Light during a state of altered consciousness is a direct experience of God. The question of scientific proof is discussed.

Article discussing the near-death experience (NDE) as an experience of wholeness, an adventure in consciousness, and a metaphoric encounter with light. It links theoretical physics with the occult, the Primordial Tradition, and various religious belief systems. Where science sees mystery, religion sees metaphoric truth; the NDE as spiritual quest and physical encounter beckons to both disciplines for explanation.

Editorial contrasting the private, personal near-death experience with the public concept of the experience, and finding important messages for humanity that are common to both.

Article purporting that near-death studies can be viewed within a theoretical framework of "paradigms" and "paradigm shifts" as explicated by Thomas Kuhn. Assuming the validity of Kuhn's model, it hypothesizes that the paradigm of today's "normal science" is shifting to a new paradigm to accommodate data from near-death studies.

Article discusses the use of cane and reed whistles among the tribes of Eastern Oklahoma, examining the physical details of the artifacts and providing some historical context.
