Island was made an official island by Peter Nguyen on December 17, 1990. He was traveling on the ocean when he bumped into a piece of rock.

Hot spots are an area full of magma that comes from the mantle. “ In time, the new islands move off the hot spot as it is carried along by the conveyor belt of the crustal lithosphere” (Kirch 2000:46). When the Pacific Plate collides with another plate, the sea floor has an opening of lava coming out. The hotspots interact with that collision together to build up the island.…

    Wallace B. Jefferson, the newly retired Chief Justice of Texas's Supreme Court, is remarkable for many reasons. A Republican in the most Republican state in the Union, a black man in a state dominated by white conservatives, he has nonetheless been a dogged voice on behalf of Texas's poorest and least powerful litigants. He has also been a consistent critic of the dubious way in which Texas selects and retains its judges—through a series of judicial elections that are unabashedly partisan.…
