GARVEES Advance In Alaska And US Virgin Islands GARVEE, Bond, GAN, virgin islands, Alaska. by FHWA Innovative Finance Quarterly, Winter 2003. GARVEEs Advance in Alaska and the us virgin islands http://www.innovativefinance.org/news_innovations/02242003_garvees_advance_in.as
Extractions: In October 2002, the Virgin Islands sold $20.8 million in GARVEEs secured by future Federal highway reimbursements. This bond issue was enabled by a 1999 Congressional action that allows the Virgin Islands to issue debt, and enactment of Act Number 6359 in October 2000 by the Territorial Legislature, specifically authorizing the Territorial Government to pledge future Federal-aid highway funds for repayment of GARVEE bonds. The Enighed Pond Cargo Facility is needed to alleviate congestion at the St. John Cargo Dock. This new $16 million cargo port facility to be constructed by the Virgin Islands Port Authority on the south side of Cruz Bay will significantly increase the opportunity for direct destination calls from cargo vessels on St. John, while reducing the volume of St. John-bound cargo that will have to be transshipped from the Crown Bay Cargo Dock in St. Thomas. The Red Hook Ferry and Marine Terminal on St. Thomas will be upgraded to improve accommodations for the traveling public. The $2.5 million project expands the dock to allow for berthing of six vessels simultaneously, rather than the current three, as well as construction of a roll-on roll-off cargo facility. This project also includes construction of a passenger terminal building, a passenger pick-up area, 150 parking spaces, a restaurant, and expansion of a passenger ferry dock.

Extractions: 1-9 of 9 Editor's Review This vocalist's inviting Indian classical/pop songs combine the obvious credibility of one who knows, with the accessibility to welcome those who don't. Now a resident of New Jersey, Choudhury spent many years performing in India, honing a sweet crossover sound that's gently punctuated with soft drum rhythms and crisp sitars. downloads: (5 votes) Editor's Review This Delhi artist trades in traditional Indian wind and percussion styles, but their appeal is hardly limited to residents of the subcontinent. Complex polyrhythmic currents ebb and flow like burbling streams while breathy winds spin flighty melodies that are both playful and haunting.
Prevalence Of Diabetes --- U.S. Virgin Islands, 1999--2001 The us virgin islands (usVI) comprises four islands (St. Croix, Selfreported prevalence of diabetes among Hispanics-United States, 19941997. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5227a3.htm
Extractions: ). In 1997, diabetes was the fifth leading cause of death in USVI ( ). Historically, the prevalence of diabetes has been lower among blacks in USVI than among blacks in the 50 states ( ). To characterize the prevalence of diabetes in USVI, CDC analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for 19992001 ( ). This report summarizes the findings from the analysis, which indicate that approximately 8.0% of USVI residents aged 18 years have diagnosed diabetes, and the prevalence of diabetes among blacks and Hispanics in USVI is comparable to that among blacks and Hispanics in the 50 states. To prevent the burden of diabetes and diabetes-related complications in residents and to improve the quality of life for persons with diabetes, initiatives in USVI should target all persons with diabetes. BRFSS is a state-based, random-digitdialed telephone survey of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 18 years in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and USVI. Response rates ranged from 75.5% in 1999 to 57.5% in 2001. BRFSS data for 19992001 were combined to estimate diabetes prevalence. Persons were classified as having diabetes if they responded "yes" to the question, "Has a doctor ever told you that you have diabetes?" Women reporting gestational diabetes only (i.e., <1.5%) were excluded. Persons with missing, refused, or unknown responses were coded as "missing." Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association of diabetes prevalence with USVI residents after controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, and body mass index (BMI). Values for BMI, which is the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared (kg/m
