    Extractions: The moment was well chosen to hold the first ever Latin America Business Summit – not only in view of Brazil and its political transition and Argentina's fledgling recovery, but also because the region as a whole is at a crossroads in determining its future position in the global economy. After growing by less than 0.5% in 2001, nobody challenges the fact that the region and the international community need to work together to chart a new course for the continent – a “road map” for sustained growth with social equity.

    Extractions: Hurricane Mitch Overview: The USGS historically has been active in South America, a region that has long been involved in the mineral and mining sectors. USGS has collaborated with counterpart agencies in Bolivia and Venezuela to produce mineral resource assessments of the Alti Plano in Bolivia and in the eastern part of Venezuela. Currently, workshops on human health issues related to the environment are underway in Venezuela and Chile. Suriname and Guyana are interested in promoting collaborative activities. Oil and gas assessments are of interest as well. All South American coal-bearing countries have been involved in the World Coal Inventory project. Collaborative efforts focused on hydrology (stream gage monitoring networks), biology (health of the shrimp economy in southern Honduras), and geology (health of coral reefs, landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes), along with data clearinghouse networks, satellite imagery interpretation, and training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Much of this work was done in close collaboration with other Federal agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).

    http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-923/latin.htm
    
    Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Boulder CO. Latin American Studies. ERIC Digest No. 19. Gallup polls indicate that Latin AmericaMexico, Central America, South America, and the independent countries of the Caribbeanis a region about which United States citizens are poorly informed (Glab 1981). Yet for practical reasons of politics and economics, as well as cultural and historical reasons, United States citizens should be well informed about Latin America. This Digest considers the present status of Latin American studies in elementary and secondary schools. It discusses the need and rationale for Latin American studies, effective teaching techniques, and resources to supplement textbooks which treat Latin America inadequately. THE PRESENT STATE OF TEACHING ABOUT LATIN AMERICA Social studies textbooks and media often present an incomplete or biased portrait of the countries comprising Latin America. Newspapers and television news programs tend to focus on such spectacular events as earthquakes, terrorism, coups, and American foreign policy related to the region. "It is rare to find stories on the arts, humanities, or culture of Latin America" (Glab 1981). The same is true of textbook representation. A recent survey of ten high school texts revealed that "with the exception of one textbook, little recognition was given to cultural characteristics" (Fleming 1982). Latin American history was presented primarily in the context of United States foreign policy. The point of view of Latin American countries was rarely considered. Textbooks often created or reinforced negative stereotypes of Latin America and its citizens.

    Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 by OneWorld.net Sharp Increase in U.S. Military Aid to Latin America by Jim Lobe WASHINGTON - Spurred by the wars on drugs and terrorism, levels of U.S. military aid to Latin America have more than tripled over the last five years, according to a new report released here Monday by three foreign policy groups. And even as Washington has intensified its training of military and security forces in Central and Southeast Asia and the Middle East as part of its "war on terrorism," Latin America soldiers and police received the most U.S. training of any region13,000 Latin American personnel out of a total of 34,000 worldwide. Latin America Working Group Education Fund Moreover, at a time when the region's economies are stagnating or even shrinking, throwing millions more people into poverty, total U.S. military aid to Latin America now almost equals the amount of money Washington is devoting to social or economic development there. "Despite pervasive problems of poverty in Latin America, the United States' focus on military rather than economic aid to the region is increasing," according to Lisa Haugaard, executive director of the
