...Islands, that are geared up for sporting tourism, mainly scuba diving, snorkeling and line fishing; or a small plane whisks you north to San Pedro on Ambergris Cay, a thin digit of land that protrudes south from the Mexican border. To the east is the barrier reef, which runs parallel to the coast, less than a mile offshore. To the west are mangroves and shallow flats, and then the low featureless Mosquito Coast. San Pedro, in between, is a pleasant town of ramshackle wooden buildings on stilts or cinder blocks, with a few new condos...
...however, accomplished somewhat the same purpose unilaterally.

We understand, as AALARM's Jewish members are quick to point out, that the Hillel has been subverted by a radical faction which follows a political agenda while ignoring the true spirit of the Jewish faith. We hope...
Under the ruling, the attorney general may choose to refile the same case on the state level, which would result in "two parallel cases dealing with the same set of facts" on the state and federal levels because of the co-plaintiffs' federal suit, Cole said...
