Extractions: Friday 3 November 2000 A new book by an Australian historian places a hitherto unknown and positive light on the German colonisation of the Mariana Islands in the North Pacific at the end of the 19th Century. According to author of Aurora Australis and Charles Sturt University academic Dr Dirk Spennemann, the German influence was very significant in rebuilding the pride of the local Chamorro people after centuries of oppression and persecution by Spanish colonists. "The first German administrator, George Fritz, re-developed Chamorro pride in their own culture by decreeing that Chamorro should be the first language of instruction in schools and by using Chamorro legends on the Marianas as readers in German language classes," Dr Spennemann said. The book is the first English-language history of the German colonial period in the Mariana Islands. The German period was only brief, from 1899 to 1914, but came at a time when the entire Pacific Region was undergoing rapid change. "Although little physical evidence remains of German colonial influence, its most lasting legacy was the fact that Chamorro is still spoken fluently in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI).

Adriano President The Senate Fourteenth Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature Committee on House Resources February 25, 2004 PART I. History of Delegates in Congress. Presently, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia are each represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by a non-voting delegate as authorized by federal statute. The delegates are elected by the voters in their territories to serve a two-year term, as are other House members. Puerto Rico is represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by a resident commissioner as authorized by House Rules. The resident commissioner is elected by voters in Puerto Rico to a four-year term. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands and American Samoa have enjoyed the privilege of representation in the Congress for the last 20 to 30 some years. With the exception of voting on the floor and other minor exceptions as provided in the House Rules, the delegates and the resident commissioner maintain the same rights and privileges as the other House members. History will show that, but for the presence and effective representation by the territorial delegates, Congress might not have addressed as expediently or thoroughly territorial issues of grave significance and impact.

Extractions: Simplified cross-section of the subduction zone of the Mariana arc. Based on earthquake locations in Samowitz and Forsyth (1981). The distribution of earthquakes reveals the location on the subducted Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Islands. From the deep Mariana trench to a depth of about 100 km the plate is subducted at a gentle angle. From about 100 to 680 km the plate is subducted at a near vertical angle. Some geologists believe that the downward gravitational force of the steeply dipping plate is enough to pull the Pacific Plate away from the mid-ocean ridge, essentially providing a driving force for plate tectonics . Other geologists believe that the plates are pushed away from the mid-ocean ridge by forces generated at the ridge. Most geologists would agree that both forces are important. Special thanks to Frank Trusdell of the U.S. Geological Survey for providing most of the photos of the volcanoes in this region.
