Several components of the U.S. Southern Command ( Southcom ), the body responsible for U.S. military activity in Latin America and the Caribbean, have relocated to Puerto Rico, where they are sharing existing facilities with other U.S. units. Fort Buchanan , in San Juan, now hosts the headquarters of U.S. Army South (USARSO), Southcom’s army component.

Contact us Just Released: “State Report Cards for Workers’ Comp”, based on newly available OSHA data Work Loss Data Institute – 2/24/03 Corpus Christi, TX A new study based on data from OSHA Form 200’s, covering all OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses, provides the basis for rating state-by-state workers’ compensation performance. The study, called State Report Cards for Workers’ Comp , was prepared by Work Loss Data Institute (WLDI) to help employers, insurers, TPA’s, state governments, and consultants answer the questions, “Who is doing well and why?” As workers’ compensation costs begin their upward spiral again, it becomes increasingly important to identify those factors contributing to the cost increases, especially those that may be controlled. History has shown that there are major differences in costs from state to state. This report shows that during the year 2000 the ratio of workers’ compensation insurance costs from state to state was over 4 times from the highest cost state to the lowest cost state. These cost differences can play a major role in the competitiveness of companies operating in these states, and also on decisions to expand or relocate.

Puerto Rico's Woman Governor Takes on U.S. Navy 22 April 2001 By Caryn Nesmith, WEnews correspondent Sila Calderon, Puerto Rico's first woman governor, is demanding the U.S. Navy immediately abandon its bombing range on Vieques. Her passion and determination have put her on a collision course with Washington. A showdown is expected this week. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (WOMENSENEWS) With just over 100 days in office, Gov. Sila Calderon has managed to intensify the political battle to oust the U.S. Navy from its prized Atlantic bombing range on the smaller island of Vieques. A skillful and relentless campaigner, she is winning stateside political support while placing the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on a collision course with Washington. This week will be critical to resolution, if any, of the Vieques dispute. Calderon is expected Monday April 23 to sign into law a bill regulating noise levels at sea, effectively banning the bombing exercises that create sonic booms. The Navy announced April 12 that it will resume training exercises, using dummy bombs, on Friday, April 27. The Navy could seek permission from President George W. Bush to escape the requirements of the new law. Calderon, a former corporate executive and mayor of San Juan, expressed her intention to stop the bombing now.

Subject(s): SOVEREIGNTY CONSTITUTIONAL law Source: Constitutional Commentary Summer2000, Vol. 17 Issue 2, p197, 7p Author(s): Aleinikoff, T. Alexander Abstract: Comments on the content of sovereignity studies in constitutional law. Issues on citizenship; Reasons for the importance of addressing sovereignity cases; Background of transnationalism. AN: ISSN: Database: Academic Search Elite Best Part SOVEREIGNTY STUDIES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: A COMMENT Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of the nation-state. It is, I believe, the only organized political force able to effectively pursue social justice and social peace. My purpose here is to note the rather unselfconscious way in which constitutional casebook writers "assume the state." By this I mean that casebooks begin with an implicit model of a state exercising (lawful) authority over a people (citizens) and territory. The major questions addressed are the scope of that authority and its distribution among various state agents (federalism, separation of powers). Citizens are figured as both authors (Marbury) and objects of state power (regulated, e.g., under the commerce clause); and significant attention is paid to constitutional norms condemning "second-class citizenship" (equal protection, privileges and immunities). But this seems to start the story in the middle. "We the People" are busy governing and being governed while we reside on the territory of the United States. Yet we have not investigated who fits within the category of "We the People," nor how territory was acquired. More important, it is also a very limited story: it does not seek to problematize membership rules or examine whether state power extends beyond territorial borders; it ignores other polities within our midst (Indian tribes; territorial governments); it doesn't recognize levels of membership (immigrants, residents of the District of Columbia); and it fails to ask what force legal norms established outside the nation-state could or should have.

The United States supplies 23 percent of total Egyptian merchandise imports and receives about 24.5 percent of total Egyptian merchandise exports, while Egypt receives only 0.4 percent of total U.S. merchandise exports. Egypt’s trade deficit with the United States was $1.5 billion in 2002, resulting in the second largest trade deficit among Egypt's bilateral trade balances. However, this deficit has decreased significantly from $2.7 billion in 2001. During 2002, Egypt's exports to the United States reached approximately $1.35 billion, up 53.7 percent from 2001. Total non-petroleum Egyptian exports amounted to $1.15 billion, representing 85 percent of Egypt's export structure to the United States with a recorded 3 percent increase from 2001. The increase in non-petroleum exports can be partially attributed to the

A Collector's Vision Below: Teodoro Vidal: Collector Lu s Muñoz Marín Exhibition Home Page The art and artifacts in this exhibition present a sampler of Puerto Rico's history and culture over centuries. They are part of a vast collection created by Teodoro Vidal (to the right in the picture), who began a personal quest in the 1950s to document the people, history, and culture of Puerto Rico from the 1700s to the present. Mr. Vidal donated much of this collection of more than 3,200 artifacts to the Smithsonian Institution in 1997. The land from which the objects came has its own rich and dramatic history. For thousands of years, native peoples named Taínos lived on an island they called Borikén. In 1493, Christopher Columbus landed there and claimed the island for Spain. It remained a Spanish colony for over 400 years and became known as Puerto Rico ("rich port"). In 1898, the United States went to war against Spain, siding with the Cuban independence army. When Spain lost the war, it lost Cuba, the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States. As a result, Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory. Today, some 3.5 million Puerto Ricans live on the island, and 2.7 million reside elsewhere in the United States. Teodoro Vidal Santoni Born in Condado to a prominent family he describes as "100 percent Puerto Rican," Teodoro Vidal earned a B.B.A. and an M.B.A. degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1954, he became an aide to Luis Muñoz Marín, Puerto Rico's first elected governor. He also served on the first Board of Directors of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. Collecting became his lifelong passion, and he soon began to collect objects that for him embodied the essence of Puerto Rican culture.

April 22, 2002 Panel: Residents of Puerto Rico Treated as Second-Class Citizens By Allison Thompson All U.S. citizens are not treated equally, and in the case of those citizens living in Puerto Rico, that means being denied access to basic rights that others take for granted. The differences in how U.S. citizens living in the 50 states and those living in Puerto Rico are treated was the focus of a colloquium, "When Citizenship Is Not Enough: Human Rights in U.S.-Puerto Rico Relations," held on April 11 in Konover Auditorium. Under U.S. law, people born in Puerto Rico are American citizens. With almost four million residents, Puerto Rico is larger than many mainland states. If it was considered a state instead of a commonwealth, Puerto Rico would be about the 25th largest state. Christina Duffy Burnett, a visiting scholar at Princeton University's program in law and public affairs, noted that citizenship has three basic rights: the right to citizenship itself, protection from deportation, and the right to vote. She said people who live in Puerto Rico don't have these rights.

Summer Studies in the U.S. Virgin Islands Costs Program Location Located in the Caribbean, the U.S. Virgin Islands is an unincorporated territory of the United States. It consists of an estimated 70 islands, islets and cays of which three, St. Thomas, St. John and St, Croix are inhabited and of significant size. The fine white sand beaches, tropical flora and fauna, coral reefs and pleasant climate make the U.S. Virgin Islands a popular tourist site. While English is the spoken language of the Virgin Islands, the blend of European and African cultures is evident in the culture, arts, language, and cuisines of the islands. The majority of the population is of African descent with Americans, Europeans and people from other Caribbean nations making up the rest. University of the Virgin Islands The University was founded in 1962 as a publicly-funded liberal arts institution located in the eastern Caribbean, 45 miles east of Puerto Rico. One hundred and seventy-five acres were donated by the federal government on St. Thomas and 1130 Acres on ST. Croix. Originally named the College of the Virgin Islands, it was renamed the University of the Virgin Islands in 1986 to "reflect the growth and diversification of its academic curricula, community and regional services and research programs". That same year, the U.S. congress named U.V.I. one of America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCU).

United States Puerto Rico Polity: Parliamentary with elected governor Political Rights: Civil Liberties: Status: Free Economy: Capitalist Population: Ethnic Groups: White, mostly Spanish origin (80 percent), black (8 percent), other, including Indian and mixed (2 percent) Overview The year was marked by continuing controversy over the status of the small island of Vieques. For several years, some leading Puerto Rican political figures, supported by civil rights leaders and political officeholders in the United States, have raised protests over the U.S. Navy’s use of the island as a bombing range. A number of protestors were arrested and given jail sentences for participating in demonstrations during naval exercises on the bombing site during the past summer. The protest campaign, however, died down after the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11. Calderon was elected governor in 2000, winning 48.5 percent of the vote against 45.7 percent for her main rival, Carlos Pesquera of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party (NPP).

Space University, The 21 st Aviation Week and Space Technology has been trumpeting this situation for the last year. We are faced with shortages in pilots, aircraft mechanics, air traffic controllers and scientists and technologists to improve our aviation systems. Thus we experience the much reported airport delays due to old equipment and older personnel to operate and maintain these systems. In the aforementioned article, Boeing admits that a shortage of IT professionals has forced then to focus their recruiting efforts in India, Taiwan and Japan. Math and science test scores in the United States continue to stagnate. The lure of the dot.coms attracts our brightest students. As a nation we need to come up with a major goal, something to fire the imagination. Today, Mr. Ball calls for something equally as dramatic. Therefore, I submit: Each year, one student from each state will study in orbit at McAuliff University. This university will be named for our first teacher who yearned to study and teach in space. The promise of space education will rekindle the spark that carried us to the moon.

Analysis of Chairman's Mark of H.R.856 Senator Murkowski's rewrite of H.R.856 contains several major problems. [The full text of the bill can be found at http://www.englishfirst.org/856new.htm] (1) The proposed referendum ballot is slanted toward producing a pro-statehood result (a) The Commonwealth option in the bill includes a threat against the continued U.S. citizenship of residents of Puerto Rico . The definition for "Commonwealth" (which is the island's present status) includes the phrase [Page 1, line 15-16] "statutory United States citizenship." This is a suggestion that under Commonwealth status, Congress could take away the U.S. citizenship of Puerto Rico residents. About 54% of Puerto Rico residents think their U.S. citizenship is important, according to a recent poll. (b) The statehood option in this legislation is artfully crafted to protect Puerto Rico's ability to become America's first Spanish-only state. The statehood option in the Chairman's Mark of H.R. 856 includes language which amounts to a promise that Puerto Rico residents cannot be required to learn English (a language foreign to virtually all island residents) and that Puerto Rico, once it is a state, could become a unilingual Spanish-speaking state: [Page 2, lines 13-14] "admission of Puerto Rico into the Union on an equal footing with other States." Statehood advocates claim that case law in this area: . . . [f]or all practical purposes invalidates and rejects the specific language provisions enacted by Congress in the enabling acts of Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. . . .

60. PuertoRicoUSA.com - The New Progressive Party Point Of View law were approved to make puerto rico a territory in 1898 that, while we are part of the us economy and now missing as an American Citizen from in puerto rico. http://www.puertoricousa.com/english/pnp.htm

The New Progressive Party Point of View The New Progressive Party, also known as the "Statehood" party believes in full integration into the United States as the 51st state of the union. The party is of the opinion that citizenship as well as the territorial status of Puerto Rico are governed under the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution, and as such are not permanent in nature. A treaty and a law were approved to make Puerto Rico a territory in 1898 . Another law, the Jones Act, was passed that granted residents American citizenship in 1917. Even our existing commonwealth status, was authorized by law 600 in 1950. Statehooders claim a simple new law can cancel or reverse any of the above mentioned actions, thus our citizenship and territorial status are always in danger. They are not permanent. They could be eliminated any time with a simple new law from Congress. Statehooders also believe that, while we are part of the U.S. economy and not able to vote for the President, and our lack of representation in congress, we are at a great disadvantage in obtaining our fair share of federal programs and funds. Under statehood, Puerto Rico would be entitled to two (2) Senators and six (6) Representatives. Statehood will complete the full rights and benefits package of American Citizenship, now missing as an American Citizen from in Puerto Rico.
