The initiative comes in response to the mandate of the Plan Iof Action of the Third Summit of the Americas “to deepen partnerships and coordination between the Summit of the Americas Process and its partner institutions, including examination of the suitability of new relationships with subregional multilateral development banks”. Working in conjunction with the above-mentioned entities are the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the World Bank, the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE), the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Institute for Connectivity in the Americas (ICA). These institutions comprise the Joint Summit Working Group (JSWG). Joint Summit_English_Round6.indd 1 11/18/05 9:21:30 AM 2 Introduction his report presents and describes the implementation of the mandates given to the institutions of the Joint Summit Working Group (JSWG) that were adopted by the Heads of State and Government of the Americas who met at the Quebec Summit in 2001 and the Special Summit in Monterrey in 2004. T There is no precedent in the history of the Hemisphere for a process that has led a dozen entities, some from the inter-American system, others belonging to the United Nations system, and still others of regional nature, to work together in a spirit of cooperation. If the Summits Process has been pivotal in enabling the Member countries to develop a common language and adopt shared goals, it has also been fundamental for the entities comprising the JSWG, in that it has furnished them with countless points of common interest. The object of this document is to present in a single text the report of the institutions on the implementation of the mandates of the Third Summit of the Americas and of the Special Summit of the Americas in Monterrey. This report covers diverse activities and reflects the type of support provided by each entity in keeping with their particular nature and areas of specialization. As the following pages clearly indicate, the Summit Process addresses a multitude of concerns of importance to the people of the Hemisphere. As is often the case, results are encouraging in many of these areas, yet a redoubling of efforts is necessary in order to meet all of the com- mitments that have been adopted. That said, it would be fair to describe the achievements as substantial, especially with regards to the advances in such areas as democracy-building, the fight against HIV/AIDS, and the development of connectivity in the Hemisphere. Does that mean that the countries represented in the Summits Process have overcome the challenges examined? Not at all. However, the progress made and the fact that the partner institutions of the JSWG have cooperated decisively in the accomplishment of different goals are reasons for hope. Joint Summit_English_Round6.indd 2 11/18/05 9:21:31 AM 3 Presentation of the OAS Secretary General peaking on behalf of the institutions making up the Joint Summit Working Group, the Organization of American States is pleased to present this publication, which contains a report on the most significant activities carried out by the institutions associated with the Summits of the Americas Process in order to implement the mandates of the Declaration and Plan of Action of Quebec S and the Declaration of Nuevo León. The Summits of the Americas Process revived the importance of inter-Americanism, revitalized the multilateral agenda, and achieved rec- ognition of the fact that the inter-American organizations comprising the Joint Summit Working Group are important players in promoting solidarity and collective action, which commit us all to attaining a better future for the Americas. The Joint Summit Working Group, which comprises institutions in the inter-American system, the United Nations, the World Bank, and subregional banks has been performing a major role in helping countries to implement the mandates of the Summits, by providing techni- cal assistance, sharing experience, running training courses, supporting the implementation of recommendations, and preparing diagnostic assessments, in keeping with their respective comparative advantages, thereby providing value added to this joint effort. The purpose of this report is to underscore that support and, at the same time, to inform governments and the general public about the outcomes of the Summits of the Americas. The Group’s coordinated work has facilitated more active and organized participation by these institutions in ministerial meetings and, hence, in the Summit Process. It has helped to avoid duplication of efforts and to guide programs and actions toward fulfillment of joint objectives, and in so doing it has strengthened the common hemispheric agenda. Since the Summit of the Americas held in Miami in 1994, there has been considerable growth in the support and involvement of the insti- tutions in the Summit Process. In the case of the OAS, in particular, this institution’s agenda has become increasingly tied to fulfillment of the mandates of the Summits of the Americas. The IDB has also stepped up its participation in Summits-related activities and has provided loans and technical cooperation in areas directly linked to the presidential mandates. For its part, ECLAC, too, has been lending its support to the process in a number of different sectors. Particularly worth underscoring are its work in the connectivity and transportation sectors, and, especially, its support to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) negotiations, through its participation in the Tripartite Committee, along with the OAS and the IDB.

Broadcast messages Ian Moes, Saturday Morning FC: «The board of SMFC concurs with the findings of the independent survey referenced by Mr Tucker, it is indeed likely that the east stand will fall down. Fortunately, with our lack of involvement in the Cup means less match days, so the odds of such an 'occurrence' resulting in a loss of life are only 1 in 14 - and that does not even take into account the propensity for our supporters to leave early. We believe by encouraging continued poor showings from the team, supporters will be further discouraged from staying on til the fulltime whistle, further decreasing the likelihood of any "catastrophe".

  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version.
