Background Information Sample Map When the American Revolution officially ended with the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Great Britain ceded the area of the thirteen original colonies to the new nation of the United States of America. Over the course of the next 134 years, the United States gradually added territory, through purchase, treaties, and as the result of wars, until in 1917 it reached the size it is today. The Territorial Acquisitions of the United States map layer shows the major acquisitions of territory by the United States, including areas that were part of the United States at one time but which have since been ceded to other countries. Descriptive information includes the name of the area, the data when it was acquired, and additional brief notes about the acquisition. This map layer was compiled by the National Atlas of the United States Only areas in North America, the Caribbean, and Hawaii are included in the Territorial Acquisitions map layer; the United States also includes additional territories that are not shown. The following areas are or have been territories of the United States:

Acquire Federal Real Property for Public or Private Use State and local governments eligible public institutions , and non-profit organizations may acquire Surplus Property that the Federal Government no longer needs. Surplus Federal property is screened for public purposes such as public health, education and parks. Surplus Federal properties that are not conveyed to state/local governments and other eligible recipients for public purposes are sold to private individuals and companies by competitive bid. The Federal agency that handles the conveyance of this surplus real estate is the Office of Property Disposal, part of the Public Building Service (PBS) of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). We work through our regional offices around the country and our headquarters in Washington, DC. We try to balance benefits to local communities and maximize returns to taxpayers as we move unneeded Federal property to productive - and often tax-generating - use. Properties differ widely in type and value and may include improved and unimproved land, office buildings, warehouses, commercial and industrial facilities, airfields, former Post Offices, farms and single- and multi-family residences. They may be in any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories.

Government Expeditions During the 1850s, the U.S. government sponsored an extensive series of expeditions designed to gather information on the vast new territories that had been acquired in western North America. In addition, a major oceanic expedition was sent to the North Pacific, a region of increasing importance to national maritime interests. Together, these expeditions returned vast quantities of natural-history material to the Smithsonian Institution, where they formed the foundation for the collections. Spencer Baird saw in these expeditions an unparalleled opportunity to obtain collections from largely unexplored regions. He succeeded in soliciting the support of the officials in charge of these various surveys and provided equipment and supplies, as well as instructions on how to collect and preserve natural history specimens. For example, "Memoranda in reference to Natural History Operations" and "Instructions to Collectors" issued by the Smithsonian Institution were written by Baird. He also recruited naturalists to accompany the surveying parties, and many young men received their training and established their reputations by publishing reports on the results of the collecting expeditions.

Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States Table of Contents Acknowledgements Chapter 1: Introduction This atlas estimates wind energy resource for the United States and its territories, . and indicates general areas where a high wind resource may exist. This information is valuable to wind energy developers and potential wind energy users because it allows them to choose a general area of estimated high wind resource for more detailed examination. A siting document, such as that written by Hiester and Pennell (1981) , can assist a potential user in going from wind resource assessment to site selection. Background The national wind resource assessment was one of the initial goals of the Federal Wind Energy Program. Early research in wind characteristics included the development and application of techniques for estimating the magnitude and distribution of wind resource over a selected area. In 1979 and 1980, the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) used these resource assessment techniques in preparing twelve regional wind energy atlases covering the United States and its territories ( Map A-l and Table A-l ). The atlases depicted annual and seasonal average wind resource on a regional and state level. They also included the wind resource's certainty rating and the areal distribution (percentage land area suitable for wind energy development) based on variations in land-surface form. In addition, summary national wind resource maps were produced (

Welcome to Internet Manu'a I'm so glad you came. These pages were conceived to highlight and promote the part of American Samoa that is rarely addressed - the islands of Manu'a. Hopefully through these pages, you’ll get a better understanding of Manu'a's uniqueness that bring visitors and investors to its beautiful shores. I hope also that the information provided is enough for you to decide on making the Manu’a islands your destination when you visit the South Pacific. Geographically, as part of American Samoa, these Islands sit on the peripheral both politically and economically. But hidden behind this apparent lack of improvement lays opportunities for tourism to take advantage of the still primitive native Samoan life in Manu'a. The desire by many native Manu'ans to remain in Manu'a could be an incentive for some enterprising individuals to build businesses there. With hundreds of islands around the globe selling the tropical image, what's another island claim measured up to the well-established tourist spots?

Bricia is doing more than toning up for her next try in this island's Miss Philippines contest. She is getting in shape for United States Army boot camp. To gain an edge on the competition for enlistment, she reserved a seat two days in advance to take Army's aptitude test on a recent Saturday morning here. Safely ensconced in her seat, she watched an Army recruiter turn away 10 latecomers, all new high school graduates. "I am scared about Iraq, but I am going to have to give something in return for those benefits I want," said Ms. Bricia, a daughter of Filipino immigrants whose ambition is to attend nursing school in California. From Pago Pago in American Samoa to Yap in Micronesia, 4,000 miles to the west, Army recruiters are scouring the Pacific, looking for high school graduates to enlist at a time when the Iraq war is turning off many candidates in the States.
