Geography Geographers study the spatial distribution of cultural and physical features across the Earth's surface. Using a spatial perspective, geographers seek to understand why things are located where they are, how people interact with their environment, the movement and changes in physical and cultural phenomena over space and time, and what makes regions distinctive. This spatial perspective is one strength of geographic study because it can be done at any level of scale, from the local to the global. Geography Track Requirements Geography Faculty Dr. Taylor E.

Family Support Policy Brief Number 5 - continued Issue 2: Problems With Other Federal and Local Funding Mechanisms Overall, the Territories, as do states, rely heavily on federal funds to operate basic governmental programs and operations. The following table shows what federal programs are in place in the Territories: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled Medicaid State Children's Health Insurance Plan Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Child Care and Development Block Grant Social Services Block Grant Child nutrition Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) Child welfare services (Title IV-B part 1) Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Guam x x x x x x x x x x x x CNMI x x x x x x x x x x x Virgin Islands x x x x x x x x x x x Under the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant, the Territories have capped federal funding for public assistance. The USVI, Guam and Puerto Rico were the only jurisdictions in the U.S. that failed to meet work participation standards for all families. America Samoa did not participate in the TANF program, and the CNMI is not eligible for participation. Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled are federal grant programs for the needy, aged, blind, and disabled authorized under four separate titles of the Social Security Act. Each Territory determines its benefit amounts, as compared to the SSI Program available in the CNMI, which has federally determined benefits. SSI may be supplemented by the Territory. The SSI benefit is measurably higher than the benefit received under Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled program in the other Territories.

The War in the Pacific Contents Table of Contents A grateful Guam remembers Letters Guam in midst of Japan's ocean empire ... Thank You A Golden Salute for the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Guam Japanese soldiers: Death before dishonor By PAUL J. BORJA The Japanese defender of Guam on July 21, 1944, was certainly fighting not only the enemy U.S. forces but also tremendous odds. The Japanese defenders of Guam, numbering perhaps 17-18,000, would be engaging in battle more than 50,000 Marines and Army infantry. There would also be no relief from the strikes and strafing of U.S. warplanes; likewise, there would be no respite for the soldier from Japan from the shattering support of the guns aboard the U.S. ships cruising so close to shore. And there would be no resupply of his rapidly-dwindling resources. Strategy, though of course vital, was not complex for the Japanese defending force. To perhaps oversimplify, the strategy on July 21, 1944 was this: defend on the shores the weakest points of the lines of defense, destroy the enemy on those beachheads, and deny him progress from beyond that battle line. The trouble for the Japanese defender was that the American attacker would be ready to thrust himself onto those same beaches with massive effort to establish a beach head for continued attack.
