Extractions: Activities at the September 2 Strategy Lunch chaired by Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation and sponsored by Coalitions for America (202/546-3003). Scandal, Scott Ritter and Romesch Strategy Discussed Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation discussed Scott Ritter's testimony regarding weapons inspections in Iraq, the Clinton scandal and the White House's predilection for smearing the reputation of its critics. Sample comments: "Scott Ritter's resignation in Iraq is very important... He's saying what the President and Madeleine Albright are saying is not what we're doing over here in Iraq." Senator Inhofe. "Just from what we know today and what he's admitted to, [Clinton] should resign." Senator Inhofe. "You cannot say anything [critical of the Administration] without being attacked. Medal of Honor winner Paul McHale, Scott Ritter, Dan Burton. I don't think there can be any doubt that they're using an Ellen Romesch strategy... It's nothing more than political blackmail."

Extractions: Campaign Events News from Cuba International news and events UK Events ... Reviews Starting with the Bay of Pigs invasion, in April 1961, Florida-based terrorist organizations have repeatedly invaded Cuban territory (air space, waters and land). The most awful terrorist action occurred on October 6, 1976, when a bomb planted aboard a "Cubana Airlines" plane exploted after the passenger jet took off from Barbados, killing all 73 people aboard-57 Cubans (including the entire fencing team), 11 Guyanese and 5 North Koreans. On October 14 Cuban exiles Orlando Bosch (a former CIA agent) and Luis Posada Carriles, along with two Venezuelans, were arrested, charged with the bombing and imprisioned in Venezuela. They were acquitted in September 1980 because of friendly ties to the Venezuelan government. Cuba protested, saying that Venezuela knew they were "acquitting the guilty". The prosecution appealed and in November 1981 the Venezuelan government asked Cuba for further evidence against the four and Cuba complied in December. There were two more acquittals of Bosch, the third on August 7, 1987. The prosecution did not appeal, which meant Bosch was allowed to leave the country. He arrived in Miami in February 1988 and was taken into custody for a 1974 parole violation (Bosch had been convicted of a 1968 bazooka attack on a Polish ship in Miami and sending death threats to the heads of state of France, Italy and Spain because their countries trade with Cuba).
Extractions: Underwater Parks Three Case Studies, and a Primer on Marine Boundary Issues Leland F. Thormahlen, Chief, Minerals Management Service, Mapping and Boundary Branch, Lakewood, CO (303) 275-7120 Introduction Unlike on shore boundaries, most marine boundaries are not marked with monuments or fences. But like a monument or fence, marine boundaries DO require maintenance! Poorly maintained boundaries can impair enforcement of environmental, fishing, and other regulations along that boundary. Further, it must be recognized that no agency places a marine boundary that doesnt affect multiple other agencies. This paper presents a brief primer on marine boundaries, followed by 3 case studies. Primer on Marine Boundaries Most marine boundaries are projected from a baseline, which consists of discrete points selected along the shoreline. The figure above illustrates our first problem Where is the shoreline? USGS topo maps typically display either the mean sea level or the mean high water line, while NOAA nautical charts typically show the mean lowest low water line. (Always check your map to see which datum was used). Various states use different water levels to mark the division between private lands and state controlled territory. Note that federal offshore boundaries are measured from the mean lowest low water line.

Extractions: Earlier this year, I think it was around June, a group of about 11 citizens from the town of Aguadilla decided they were going to take a case to the Federal court in San Juan, namely they insisted that as Puerto Ricans, as U.S. citizens, they had a right to vote for the U.S. President. They took this case to court and some of us were quite surpised to hear that Judge Jaime Pieras in San Juan actually agreed with them, citing that the right to vote is based on citizenship not based on residency. About a month before the election, the first circuit court of appeals in Boston ruled this is unconstitutional, this is a joke. The Puerto Rican Supreme Court ruled only a couple of days before the election, this thing is null. It is invalid. The law that established the presidential election in Puerto Rico is unconstitional. So literally millions of dollars were spent printing up ballots that were never used.
The Extent & Condition Of U.S. Coral Reefs - National Picture The status of the Nation's most important coral reefs are summarized by state orterritory below. 3200 nm. Total Area. us Virgin Islands. 200 1. puerto rico. 500 1. http://state-of-coast.noaa.gov/bulletins/html/crf_08/national.html
Extractions: Photo 5. The Florida reef tract accounts for nearly one-third of U.S. coral reef holdings in the Caribbean. Photo 9. A diver works to remove blackband disease. Photo 12. Coral reefs are an important part of tourism in the Northern Mariana Islands. Most of the economy depends on tourism. Estimates of total coral reef coverage, worldwide and nationally, are based on data sets of extremely rough scale, and many areas are not yet characterized. For example, in a recent estimate of shallow coral reefs (based on charts) for areas located in major geographic regions only five percent of reefs were mapped at a scale of 1:100,000 or better ( Table 1 , Spalding and Grenfell 1997). A second estimate is presented in Table 1 based on available platforms suitable for reef growth in water less than 30 meters deep(Smith 1978). Additional estimates range from 100 to 3,930 x 10 sq km (Kleypas, 1997), which suggests the great difficulty scientists have in making even first order attempts to define regional and global reef area. Differences in estimates for similar regions mostly reflect biases based on methodology and a general lack of information.

Stephen Voss at the University of Kentucky . We hope to collect precinct election data from the 2000 presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial elections and make it accessible over the net. We further intend to match it with data with information from the 2000 U.S. Census. The links on this page are generally directed toward internet sources of election and demographic data. The quality of the data ranges widely some places have only totals, while others have results broken down by county or precinct.

Extractions: Ph.D. Track in Latin American, Caribbean and U.S. Latino Cultural Studies University at Albany, State University of New York The program is recognized as a viable alternative to the single department/discipline based structures that dominate most university settings. "Alternative" does not mean substitution; it means a valid, complementary, and different model with its own set of persuasive advantages. These advantages include paradigmatic shifts in the context of scholarship, a novel and inclusive curriculum, as well as research in frontier territory not chartered inside more conventional structures. LACS' multidisciplinary approaches are integral to its impressive basic and applied research and service outreach activities to institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean and in local, national, and international multicultural communities. Some of the main areas of expertise of LACS faculty include: development studies, women's studies, migration studies, Mesoamerican anthropology, Caribbean literature, education, and Puerto Rican studies. Study abroad and field research opportunities are available with institutions in Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Nicaragua. The Department of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) at the University at Albany is the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive program of its kind within the SUNY system. It is the only academic department that currently offers an M.A. graduate degree and a graduate certificate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, in addition to undergraduate majors in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Puerto Rican Studies. Its twenty-two jointly appointed faculty, includes six core faculty, and its crosslisted courses now represent a total of twelve University departments and three colleges or schools.
