Doug Robertson, whose coaching career includes a state championship with Reidsville, has taken the job as football coach at Eastern Guilford.
It will be Robertson's third team in three years. He spent the past season at Person County after leaving Reidsville, his alma mater. He's a Reidsville resident.
"It's basically a family decision coupled with the fact that I think Eastern Guilford is a pretty good place to be," Robertson said Monday night.
This also marks the third different classification for Robertson, 36, in as many years. Eastern Guilford competes in Class 3-A.
Person County, a Class 4-A school, went 3-8 in Robertson's only season in charge. That was a two-win improvement from 2011.
The season at Person County made Robertson realize that the 45- to 50-mile commute wasn't ideal for his family life. His wife works in Greensboro.
"It took going down to Person to see how important it was to be with family," he said. "(Eastern Guilford) is somewhere I'm going to be a pretty good while.
"I'm glad the Eastern job came open again this year. It's truly like a blessing."
Calling it a move that should match his professional goals and his personal life (with a 10-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son), Robertson said he seeks to create a winning atmosphere with the Eastern Guilford program.
"That's going to be my challenge to get those kids to believe they're the kids who can get it done," he said. "I've always thought Eastern Guilford football had a chance to be a lot better than they've experienced over there. We want a winning attitude. … It's going to take time, but I think it can happen."
Robertson has been a player and a coach against Eastern Guilford.
"The thing I know about them is they have great athletes," he said. "I'm excited about being part of it."
His three-year record as Reidsville's head coach was 36-7. That included the Class 2-AA state championship in 2009. He was on the coaching staff for five Reidsville state titles.
The 1999 Guilford College graduate spent 11 years on Reidsville's staff. The Rams had a 55-game winning streak during a part of that stretch.
Before becoming the defensive coordinator at Reidsville, Robertson spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Delta State, which won a Division II national championship.
David Hines coached one season at Eastern Guilford, posting a 2-9 record as a replacement for Scott Loosemore. The Wildcats were a combined 29-42 in six seasons under Loosemore.
In information from Eastern Guilford athletics director Randall Hackett, the school's latest hiring reflects the hope that Robertson will "build a program that will consist of a culture of successful tradition within the coming years."
Robertson's departure from Reidsville came about as a surprise in some circles. He took the position at Person County saying at the time, according to a published report, that he was interested in making a long-term commitment.
Now, he has been enticed by another opportunity that he said is truly an ideal fit.
Robertson said he expects to take a position as a physical education teacher at Eastern Guilford for the next school year. He said he intends to complete this school year in a teaching role at Person County.

Nice but small
I really like the design of these cards and the picture quality is great! They were however a lot smaller than I expected. They look more like an over-sized bookmark than a picture card. I probably should have payed closer attention to the sizing, but the editing and photos on the website were also a little misleading in terms of size. Overall, the delivery was fast and the quality is great. I will be ordering my invitations from here too...I will make sure to look at the sizes and order a free sample first.

"It is suspected that a natural gas explosion occurred, but this has to be confirmed with physical evidence," said Beloit Fire Chief Brad Liggett.
The two people injured, a 33-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, rented the home from James and Beverley Long. They were taken to hospitals and treated for burns.
One pet died and another survived, and the residents were trapped after the explosion blew out the walls and the roof crashed down on the rubble.
A special rescue team was activated to pull the victims from the rubble as firefighters evacuated nearby homes.
"It's a tedious process because there's a lot of debris and we don't want the building to collapse any further," Liggett said.
Rescuers put in bracing so the rubble wouldn't shift, then tunneled into the debris and repeated the process.
"There was a lady in there and she was saying, 'Help me, help me, I can't move my legs,'" neighbor Diana Smith said. "We kept on telling her that help was on the way."

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a technician checks NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, spacecraft undergoing spin balance testing. The IBEX satellite will make the first map of the boundary between the Solar System and interstellar space. IBEX is the first mission designed to detect the edge of the Solar System. As the solar wind from the sun flows out beyond Pluto, it collides with the material between the stars, forming a shock front. IBEX contains two neutral atom imagers designed to detect particles from the termination shock at the boundary between the Solar System and interstellar space. IBEX also will study galactic cosmic rays, energetic particles from beyond the Solar System that pose a health and safety hazard for humans exploring beyond Earth orbit. IBEX will make these observations from a highly elliptical orbit that takes it beyond the interference of the Earth's magnetosphere. IBEX is targeted for launch from a Pegasus XL rocket on Oct. 5.

Those who disparage Dee for the so-called "us/yhem"-mentality, should do well to remember that it is precisely because ISLAM teaches a hateful "us/them"-doctrine that it is dangerous.
Does this mean that we also must adopt an "us/them"-mentality?
Unfortunately, yes, to a certain extent.
A criminal forces upon the rest of society the necessity of acting/behaving in ways it rather would not (for example by depriving of an individual's freedom), but such actions are not for that reason unjustified.
The Wajabi variety teaches that…mainstream moderate varieties of Islam don't. You are foolish to form your view on Islam based on narrowing looking at a cross section of nutjobs in Jiddah and pretending that mainstream muslims buy into Zawahiri's bullshit sophistry. Newsflash…they don't. That's why al Qaeda has been so crippled in the past few yrs. They attack mainstream muslims too often and claim it is justified because they are no longer "real muslims". Guss who doesn't see things that way…the mainstream muslim communities all across the middle east who hate al Qaeda every bit as much as you do if not more.
And this is the United States of America. The actions of this administration aren't unjustified simply because we were attacked. They are unjustified because the administration is legally bound to uphold the backbone of our nation, the US Constitution, and all the rights it affords the ciizens who "elected" these public officials.
Maybe you should try like…reading about the nuances of the muslim communities and how they feel about the muslim/false muslim/infidel proposition Zawahiri won't shut up about. You may…learn something. :o
I am perfctly aware of splinter groups of Islam like the ahmadiyyahs, the dhawodi borats, ishmaelites and various strains of sufism (and, for that matter, the bahaii's many of whom consider themselves to be muslims), all of whom have in common a commitment to the the bitani tradition, i.e, the mystical, allegorical approach to both readings of the Quran, and a free interpretation of the hadith tradition (the Ahmadiyyahs, for example, deny the hadiths wholesale as legitimate traditions).
Furthermore, these groups can be considered genuine in their desire to promote peace&love;and brotherhood, and their thoughts that this is inspired somehow by their particularly slanted readings of the Quran. The reason for why we may consider these proclamations genuine is these groups' consistent behaviour of peacefulness.
But, you know what?
1. These particular groupings constitute only a single-digit percentage of those individuals claiming to be Muslims (sunnites and mainstream shias, in particular are excluded)
2. Practically all of these groups are facing severe persecution from other Muslims for being "heretics", most Muslims do not consider these groups to be Muslim at all, but rather as apostates.
3. The overwhelming majority of Muslims, whether sunnis or shias, cling to a LITERALIST approach to both the Quran, and their (various) received hadith traditions (the significant difference between the shia and sunni hadith tradition being that shias reject hadiths said to come from Aesha (whom the shias revile), substituting for these mainly hadiths from Imam Ali).
4. And, if you do take a LITERALIST approach towards Islam, then the Wahabbis are simply more logically consistent that many other Sunni groups, and the deeply intolerant Shia Islam pronounced by Khomeini and the Iranian priesthood has a similar pre-eminence in logical consistency.
5. Both of these groupings, the Wahabbis and the "Khomeinians" are therefore those showing most fidelity to their core traditions, other, "sanitized" Islam forms only gets its more hygienic outlook by being logically inconsistent. Logical inconsistency is not a virtue, nor does it represent a source of strength from which politically viable alternatives can be formed. Precisely because the "back-to-the-roots" movements like Wahabbism are always those most consistent with the ACTUAL teachings of the Quran and the sunna (i.e, hadiths&sira;), those movements are always recurring, and are the ones into which political (-ly significant) Islam degenerates.
5. In short, there is nothing in the genuine Islamic traditions that contains the potential for making the religion of Islam into a force for change towards a more humane society. Rather, Islam as a political force has only a potential for the evil unambiguously celebrated within the traditions related to Mohammed.

Great Short Works of Mark Twain
Great Short Works of Mark Twain (Paperback)
Related Editions
Selected works of humour and criticism by a revered American master.
Beloved by millions, Mark Twain is the quintessential American writer. More than anyone else, his blend of scepticism, caustic wit and sharp prose defines a certain American mythos. While his novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is still taught to anyone who attends school and is considered by many to be the Great American Novel, Twain's shorter stories and criticisms have unequalled style and bite.
In a review that's less than kind to the writing of James Fenimore Cooper, Twain writes: "Every time a Cooper person is in peril, and absolute silence is worth four dollars a minute, he is sure to step on a dry twig. There may be a hundred handier things to step on, but that wouldn't satisfy Cooper. Cooper requires him to turn out and find a dry twig; and if he can't do it, go and borrow one." It's difficult to imagine anyone else writing in quite this style, which is why Twain's legacy only continues to grow.
About the Author
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born on November 30, 1835, in the village of Florida, Missouri. He attended the ordinary western common school until he was twelve, the last of his formal schooling. In a span of fifteen years he was successively a typesetter, a steamboat pilot, a soldier for three weeks, a silver miner, a newspaper reporter, and a bohemian in San Francisco known as "Mark Twain." But in 1865, deeply in debt, he acknowledged a talent for "literature, of a low order, i.e., humorous." In the next forty years, he published more than a dozen books and hundreds of shorter works, including his masterpiece, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Quickslider not working with Content...
Posted 16 September 2012 - 07:55 AM
If I hide the Content button section, then the Quickslider appears. but once I activate the Content button again, the Quickslider disappears. I'm anxious because this bug compromises the entire REASON I purchased this software: because I'm incredibly picky and want my site to look how I want.
Is it impossible to have both the Quickslider and Content active under Active Sections? Why? Is there any CSS I can enter to override this function?
My site is www.amyhoney.com.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 11:20 AM
I have just this moment added both a Quick Slider and a ContentBox to a test site -
Therefore, can you disable all non-PageLines plugins and see if this resolves the issue.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 01:58 PM
<= finished page
Posted 16 September 2012 - 04:44 PM
What I would like is an answer to WHY my Content subbox isn't showing up where the word "HOME" is.
And yes, I have done everything you showed already. If it had worked, I wouldn't be here.
These are my plugins: Akismet, Blogger Importer, Jetpack, Post Types Order, and Tweet Blender. I'm not going to disable them.
Why should I? That's not fair that I should be forced to disable some of the things I need just to get a stupid content box.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 04:51 PM
as an aside, your content IS inside the content area its showing asdfasd if you want the carousel etc to be in there too, then add them into the content area and not the standard template area.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 05:03 PM
I was only trying to help, if it offended you im truely sorry and i'll go back to my Sunday nothingness.
as an aside, your content IS inside the content area its showing asdfasd if you want the carousel etc to be in there too, then add them into the content area and not the standard template area.
I DID do that. I did everything.
And I don't want to Carousel in the Content area, I want a recent blog post in the content area, so that when users visit the site, they can just scroll down to see a new post, and not go thru the hassle of clicking 'blog,' etc.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 05:05 PM
There is a plugin called special recent posts that provides a shortcode to throw into the page content area that can do what you want.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 05:17 PM
I tried that plugin, but it doesn't seem to work and I don't know why.
At this point I'm ready to throw my hands up. I've don everything, was up until the crack of dawn trying to figure it out, and I can't. I frustrated and angry that even though I dropped $100 for a program thats supposed to let me get what I want, it won't.
Also, why isn't my Quickslider showing when I make the Content area visible??
I don't want one or the other, I want both.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 08:07 PM
Understanding your frustration, but you must understand that deactivating plugins is a temporary condition we use for testing and respectfully, we need you to help us to help you.
Now if you've created a static homepage, even if you're adding Content to the template, the fact that it's called "home" will not yield recent posts on that page. If it's not a custom page, but just the default, then adding the Quickslider to the template won't necessarily show the slides. You still need to have the settings correct.
So, I'll give you instructions for both.
For a custom homepage, go to the page in question in edit mode and scroll to the PageLines Meta Settings. Click the tab found there for Quickslider. Please make sure each setting is properly set including transitions, selections, etc. Save your setting and save the page. Your slider is actually showing up on the page. It appears as the elongated shaded oval at the top, under the nav, just where you want it. However, it also appears not to be displaying the slides probably because its been set to an incorrect source or some other setting is wrong.
For a default homepage, you'd go to Dashboard > PageLines > Page Options and select Default. Click on the Quickslider tab. Set things up there. Here's a guide. Most people never read this stuff, but it's there to help
As for Special Recent Posts, I know it works, provided the proper shortcode is set up and this takes some time. It takes more than the 12 minutes between when Simon suggested it and when you replied saying it doesn't work. Special Recent Posts does not work on default homepages, only on static pages manually created.
Here's an example of how a properly set SRP shortcode looks.
You'd need to patiently read the instructions here: with particular emphasis on the very bottom of that page and the $args provided above. You'll see from my example and those $args that they correspond and produce results such as you'll see at
The shortcode is placed in the edit field of your page, if it's a custom page.
Thanks for your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve your issue with you.
Posted 16 September 2012 - 09:50 PM
I've very tech savvy and I learn quickly. I didn't just give up the first time and complain that it didn't work. I've tried everything. I disabled plugins, added the SRP shortcode, changed page templates from Default to Custom and back.
And it still doesn't work.
And truthfully, I ready to cry because it doesn't seem like anyone understands that.
What am I supposed to do? What am I doing wrong?
I'm ready to just give up and get my money back
Posted 16 September 2012 - 10:20 PM
Posted 17 September 2012 - 08:59 AM
Special Recent Posts does work otherwise we wouldn't recommend it to you. Therefore, can you provide screenshots of the following please:
- where you added the Special Recent Posts shortcode
- A screenshot of the Page Template and Content Area sections that are active pleae (this is under Drag and Drop - take a screenshot of the Page Template Sections and the Content Area active sections. Both these areas are part of the same template.

If ever you've been working with a build.xml file or some Jelly script and found yourself a little restricted by all those pointy brackets, or found it a bit wierd using XML as a scripting language and wanted something a little cleaner and more straight forward, then maybe Ant scripting with Groovy might be what you're after.
Groovy has a helper class called
AntBuilder which makes the scripting of Ant tasks really easy; allowing a real scripting language to be used for programming constructs (variables, methods, loops, logical branching, classes etc). It still looks like a neat concise version of Ant's XML without all those pointy brackets; though you can mix and match this markup inside your script. Ant itself is a collection of jar files. By adding them to your classpath, you can easily use them within Groovy as is. We believe using
AntBuilder leads to more concise and readily understood syntax.
Below are some examples (most taken from Groovy's own AntBuilder tests) which demonstrate:
- the use of Ant inside Groovy using the AntBuilder DSL notation
- a demo of iterating through an Ant FileSet using
- that normal variables can be used to pass state into the Ant tasks and that Groovy code can be embedded anywhere in the markup.
Compiling and running a Java file:
Sniffing around ...
Using the joint compiler
Here is a small build file which uses the joint compiler to compile Groovy and Java source files together, and put them in WEB-INF/classes:
3 Comments
Here are a few other examples:
- Starting AntBuilder with a basedir pointing at a specific directorydef ant = new AntBuilder()
ant.project.setProperty('basedir', 'mypath')
print ant.project.properties.basedir
- Using Ant propeties in the groovy code that called AntBuilderdef ant = new AntBuilder()
ant.property(name:'foo', value:'bar')
println ant.project.properties.foo
- Starting AntBuilder with a basedir pointing at a specific directorydef ant = new AntBuilder()
Thanks for your guide for us, it is very useful. It's very important that what you write and what you want to exactly say, you show me some of the relevant information that i need. I tried some shared info sources but neither was giving enough details about it.
Can you please put up some kind of documentation on how to get something like flexTasks to run using a groovy script.
Thank you.

The Blue Groove is an excellent tire for mountain riding. With independent knob design and multiple edges for great traction, this fast rolling tire will perform well on any trail.
Kenda's STICK- E compound is a slow rebound rubber (50 shore A durometer) that has excellent grip and traction control. The slow rebound rubber acts like a form of suspension that conforms to the trail. The trade off for the STICK- E compound is that it does wear faster.

The New England Patriots have a new backup quarterback.
The Patriots traded Ryan Mallett to the Houston Texans, a source told NFL Media's Ian Rapoport on Sunday and New England later confirmed. The team said it received an undisclosed draft pick in the deal, but Patriots Football Weekly's Paul Perillo said it appears it's a conditional seventh-round choice that would become a sixth-rounder should Mallett take at least 40 percent of Houston's snaps this season.
Texans head coach Bill O'Brien was the Patriots' offensive coordinator in 2011, when the team drafted Mallett in the third round.
The Patriots took quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round of this year's NFL draft, and after a strong preseason, he'll be Tom Brady's backup. Garoppolo started in the Patriots' preseason finale last week and played all four quarters.
The Patriots also shopped Mallett to the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills, a source told the Boston Herald's Jeff Howe.
Mallett joins a mediocre quarterback group in Houston, where Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to be O'Brien's starter. The Texans also have Case Keenum and Tom Savage on their roster.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
That is so sad and horrible that this irresponsible and ignorant man would do this to two tiny, helpless, innocent babies!! I am so glad that the ASPCA was able to save them in time! How did they find them before it was too late?? I wonder if it was the landlord who called them? I am a little sad that they did not get adopted out together. I adopted a rescue dog from a horrible "holding cell" where he and his sister lived for nearly a month with practically no human contact, and food only every few days when the police officers remembered to feed them. And it was only the deputy caring for them, the sheriff only allows dogs to stay there for 5 days before euthanization. But the deputy couldn't bare to put two baby puppies to sleep. Anyway, my point in saying all this - I guess i could have skipped the gory details but it breaks my heart to this day - is that when we adopted him we only took him, Ringo, and not his sister (who had supposedly already been claimed) but if I could do it over I would have really loved to adopt them both together because Ringo was completely dependent upon us for the first several weeks, we couldn't leave the house without him having severe separation anxiety and now he has some socialization problems (partially my fault for not socializing him more as a baby and partially from his traumatic first month or so of life - he's very fearful) and I know he would have been so much better if he had had his sister with him the whole time. But the important thing is that Jack and Jill, and Ringo and his sister, are safe and well-cared for and loved. Thank you to the people of the ASPCA, I so admire all that you do and that is why I support and will continue to support all your efforts to stop animal cruelty and neglect and save animals, as well as bringing abusers/neglecters to justice. Thank you and please continue your efforts. You have so many people behind you.
This sickens me I do not know why people even go and get a pet if they are going to do this to them. Just leave them behind like they are garbage. He should get more than 2 yrs. Not enough he should not be fed and see how he likes it.
Some people just have no heart, to leave helpless animals to fend for themselves, my heart breaks when i hear story's like this, I wish i could have a dog, but unfortunatly i live in an apartment and my landlord won't let me have a dog, tho we do have a sweet amle cat named Shamus, he is a real joy everyday he does the crazyiest things and makes us laugh and keeps us entertained.
As a veterinarian, I know that these dogs we here about to die of starvation and malnourished beyond belief. Thank you ASPCA for all your hard work. I believe that if it wasn't for this organization thousands of animals around the world would die without even a second chance at life. Thank you!
I love reading about these happy endings. You people do a wonderful job for all of these beautiful creatures. These events make me ashamed of the human race.
I have rescued two puppies much smaller then these in a parking lot. We should take these people out in the middle of the dessert and leave them there.
Good thing this guy was arrested. So many have left their animals behind that are never tracked down and arrested. Happy for Jack and Jill !
Please we need to petition to make animal cruelty more severe a crime. What is 2 yrs, $2000 fine compared to torture and abandoment? -crazy law
We need to have stiffer punishment so they truly fit the crime. . . two more pups saved, thousands to go.

I am a big fan of the Bijan fragrance and have been for several years. I am retired now, but was an insurance specialist for 45+ years and this fragrance has always my first choice, I have had many compliments over the years on this fragrance....

In 1990 I was passing a woman in the World Trade Center wearing Bijan. I loved the smell and it did not bother my bad allergies the way a lot of perfumes do. I had to run her down and ask her the name of her perfume. I have been wearing Bijan ever since. Love it and so do my teens. People tell me all of the time that I smell good. That is a great feeling. Glad I can still buy this, I buy several bottles at a time. Lasts me for years. Little goes a long way and lasts a long time.

Have worn it for years! Always get compliments. Men love it. Strong going on but becomes powdery and really nice. It lasts all day. I would say it's my signature perfume.

I know it used to. Since I used to use it a lot to get the tank healed up. I haven't healed on my paladin for a week or so, so it might have changed since then.

Paladins, sadly, are now (and have for quite some time) suffering from the "let's change something about the class each day" syndrome that plagued Death Knights. I came back to play my DK after only a month and was completely lost. I actually kind of miss the old class patches. At least you could bask in the sun for a while until they nerfed something.

alot of QQ has been going around, its a good change tho, light of dawn is an 'aoe' cone heal, but you no longer can keep a tank up with it through beacon, which is how it should be. healing was too much of a faceroll so far.

Bulldogs Baseball Downs Saint Mary's With Clutch Hitting
SPOKANE, Wash. – Clayton Eslick connected for a two RBI pitch-hit triple in the seventh inning with two outs to push Gonzaga University baseball 4-2 over Saint Mary's College Saturday at Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field. The victory is the seventh consecutive for the Bulldogs as the team claimed the series from the Gaels.
Gonzaga improves to 22-10-1 overall and remains atop the West Coast Conference at 10-4. Saint Mary's Falls to 11-24 overall and 2-6 WCC.
GU starter Tyler Olson (6-2) picked up the win after hurling seven innings allowing five hits, two runs (both unearned) and striking out six.
The game was tied at 2 before the Zags scored the winning runs in the seventh. Cory LeBrun led off the inning with a triple but the Gaels would retire the next two batters. Caleb Wood then walked setting up Eslick who smashed a ball down the right field line on a 1-1 count.
Zach Abbruzza relieved Olson for the remaining two innings and did so admirably. Abbruzza picked up his first save of the season and allow just two hits.
Both Gonzaga and Saint Mary's committed three errors each. However, the Zags turned a season-high five double plays in the game ousting any Gael threats.
Saint Mary's starter Jordan Mills went 5.2 innings allowing five hits and two runs. Reliever Kelsey Outram picks up the loss by allowing the Clayton two runs in 1.1 innings.
The Bulldogs put together eight hits to Saint Mary's seven. Freshman Caleb Wood had a solid day at the plate by going 2-for-3 with an RBI in the third inning. Wood is hitting .339 on the year and .302 in WCC games.
The Zags will go for the series sweep over the Gaels Sunday. The two teams are set to meet at noon with the game televised on SWX.

The Belle Boyd HouseThe Belle Boyd House
The Belle Boyd House, located at 126 East Race Street, Martinsburg, WV, was a childhood home of Belle Boyd, Confederate spy and Berkeley County native. On different occasions during the Civil War she crossed military lines to pass information to General T.J. (Stonewall) Jackson. After the war Belle Boyd became an actress, often playing femme fatale roles. This red brick house, built in 1853 by Ben Boyd has been described as the finest Greek Revival house in Martinsburg.
From 1902 until 1992 the Boyd house was divided into four separate apartments. Early in 1992 the owner wanted to raze the house to make room for a parking lot. The Berkeley County Historical Society spearheaded an effort to save this beautiful and important part of our heritage.
In 1996 the Belle Boyd House was included in the Civil War Discovery Trail, a series of historic places and battlefield sites of the war. The CWDT guide is on sale at the Belle Boyd House.
The Belle Boyd House is a museum operated by the Berkeley County Historical Society and includes several museums of local interest. There are ten rooms with displays.
The focus of the Boyd Mason Civil War Museum is on the war in the Lower (northern) Shenandoah Valley with emphasis on local activities and Belle Boyd. The Berkeley County Museum illustrates the general history of the County from pre-Columbian times to the 20th century.

Democrat Jonathan Sargeant and Republican Molly B. Smith are vying for the District 3 seat on the Lenoir County Board of Education.
Neither candidate is an incumbent — the current officeholder is board Chairwoman Rita Hodges, who will not seek re-election.
Sargeant answered questions posed during the Young Professionals of Lenoir County's recent candidate forum, held at Lenoir Community College and sponsored by the YPLC, LCC and The Free Press.
Smith was not able to attend the forum, but she answered the same questions when posed to her by The Free Press on Friday.
The questions were as follows:
n Their thoughts on Lenoir County Schools' current student dress code
n Whether the school system should emphasize vocational training as much as attending college
n Whether the STEM program has been effective in getting students interested in science, technology, engineering and math
n Whether the stipend paid to athletic coaches should be increased to be competitive with surrounding counties
n How school facilities can be used effectively as population shifts from the city to the county
n How they would grade the current superintendent's performance
Jonathan Sargeant
Sargeant is a graduate of Kinston High School and is currently an attorney specializing in family law. He is married with two children.
"It was our goal to be involved in the school system since Day One," he said.
Sargeant said he favored keeping the schools' dress code in its current form, although he understood there had been "issues" with what some students were wearing.
Regarding vocational training, he said he would prefer to encourage the majority of students to attend a community or four-year college — he recognized all children must be educated, though.
"It's all of our kids and we've got to give them the opportunity, when they get out into the workplace, to have some productive skill and to some extent vocational classes will do that," he said.
Sargeant said STEM should be expanded, and it showed how a public-private partnership can benefit students, especially as educational funding from government is reduced.
He said coaches should be paid "appropriately," given their impact on children's lives, but school officials' main focus should be on education.
Sargeant said "what we're really talking about is redistricting" regarding the use of school facilities. He felt redistricting should be implemented if schools are at or above capacity, which Lenoir County schools are not.
"We want to make schools that draw our children to them," he said.
Sargeant did not give Superintendent Steve Mazingo a letter grade, but was impressed with how he has performed during his first year.
Molly B. Smith
Smith is a native of Lenoir County and a graduate of Grainger High School. She currently works at Furniture Fair in Kinston and teaches hand painting of furniture at the Community Council for the Arts.
She is married with one foster child and a grandchild.
"I'm a radical Christian and I chose to do this because I felt impressed of the Lord to do this," she said of her run for school board.
Smith supported a stricter dress code, such as having girls dress "modestly" and boys wear khaki pants and nice shirts.
"I feel like it would help some people that are financially strapped because they won't have to keep up with current styles," she said.
Smith supported vocational training because she had been steered to it herself while in high school, and had been able to make a good living due to training in cosmetology and other fields.
She supported the STEM program, especially because of the wide use of technology.
"Everybody I know in business and industry uses computers, so it's important to have that type of background," she said.
Regarding the use of school facilities as population changes, she said she had spoken with several parents who expressed their dissatisfaction with the school system, and were beginning to home-school their children.
Smith said she would support increasing the coaches' stipend "because I think sports is important."
She said she would give Mazingo a grade of B, because "I've heard good, satisfactory comments about him."

Duke Ellington did not want to sound like anyone else; he wanted to sound like himself.
-John Edward Murray
For nearly fifty years, Edward Kennedy "Duke' Ellington headed the foremost American big band, and through his wonderful works brought increased respect and credibility to African-American jazz. An extremely talented composer, pianist, and band leader, Ellington's unique sound pushed the limits of the accepted cannon of music and made him both an American and international sensation. The winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, Ellington was widely regarded as one of the world's greatest composers and musicians. Never bowing to pressure, adversity, or criticism, he once said, "A problem is a chance for you to do your best."
Ellington's legend has continued to grow in the thirty years since his death. Coming to the Athenaeum for what is the culminating event of The Ellington Reunion Project cosponsored by Claremont McKenna College and The American Jazz Institute, are several members of Ellington's former band. They will share both their memories of Ellington and the music they performed with him over his illustrious career. Also featured will be the music of Billy Strayhorn, a pianist and associate arranger for Ellington. Ellington once commented that Strayhorn "successfully married melody, words, and harmony, equating the fitting with happiness." The attendees at this program include fomer band members: Butch Ballard, Dave Black, Louie Bellson, Jeff Castleman, Buster Cooper, Devonne Gardner, Lil Greenwood, Barrie Lee Hall, Herb Jeffries, John Lamb, Dolores Parker, Vince Prudente, Eve Smith, Rocky White, Barbara Winfield and Jimmy Woode.
Please join us for this unique opportunity to experience Duke Ellington through the memories and music of those who shared the spotlight with him.
The Law Takes a New Look at Some Old Forensic Sciences
For most of the 20th century, virtually every kind of forensic identification evidence was admitted with little if any question. These included handwriting, fingerprints, toolmarks, firearms, footprints, tiremarks, bitemarks, microscopic hair comparisons, voiceprints . . . you name it. Today, that picture is changing. Courts (especially federal courts) have begun to close their doors to some kinds of asserted forensic science expertise (among them handwriting, knifemarks, hair comparison, even fingerprints). In his Athenaeum lecture, Michael Saks will look at what has led the courts to grow increasingly skeptical, and where this is leading law and forensic science.
Michael J. Saks is a professor of law and psychology at Arizona State University where he has taught criminal law, evidence, torts, law and science, law and social science, and property. He earned a Ph.D. in social psychology from Ohio State University (1975) and an M.S.L. from Yale Law School (1983). From 1986-2000, he was at the University of Iowa, where he was the Edward F. Howrey Professor of Law. For a decade he taught appellate judges at the University of Virginia Law School, trial judges in Duke's "Judging Science" program, law professors at the Georgetown University Law Center, as well as law students, graduate students, and undergraduates at various universities. For two years he was a senior staff member of the National Center for State Courts. Saks is past president of the American Psychology-Law Society and chair of the Section on Law and Social Science of the Association of American Law Schools.
Saks has served as editor-in-chief of the journal Law & Human Behavior, acting editor of the journal Jurimetrics, is coeditor of the multi-volume treatise, Modern Scientific Evidence, and has published over 100 other books and articles. His research focuses on empirical studies of the legal system, in particular decision-making, the behavior of the litigation system, and the law's use of science. His work has earned a number of awards and has been cited in various judicial opinions, including several by the United States Supreme Court.
This talk by Michael Saks is part of the ongoing Athenaeum series Law and Psychology.
Author Reads from His Work
"The week before my father died, he told me a story about how his father had once seen the lost city of Atlantis while he was a sailor in the Turkish navy." So starts Bloodvine: A Novel (2003), Aris Janigian's critically acclaimed debut novel that resonates with family struggle, ethnic legacies, and a richly captured sense of place within California's Central Valley.
The Central Valley is home to a large Armenian community, one of the oldest immigrant groups in the Valley, and one which continues to maintain a strong identity there. The Armenians came to America from a world and a way of life that was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks in a genocidal rage that killed over a million people in the beginning of the twentieth century. Even today, few Armenians have not been touched by this tragic episode in their history. Janigian's complex and devastating story of two half-brothers who toil on and are torn apart by the farmland they have inherited unfolds against the background of the genocide. It simultaneously probes what it means be a Californian, an experience long known as one of exploration, discovery, alienation, and acceptance. The Los Angeles Times called Bloodvine "a large achievement," and hailed its author "a strong, and welcome new voice." Aris Janigian will read from Bloodvine and work in progress. A book signing will follow.
Aris Janigian received his Ph.D. in psychology from Claremont Graduate University. Since 1992 he has taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, where he is presently senior faculty in humanities. He has published in fields as varied as psychology, poetry, short story, and art and architecture theory. In 2002 his book, Something from Nothing, a collaboration with graphic artist April Greiman, was issued by Rotovision (London). Between semesters teaching, he works in Fresno coordinating the harvest of cherries and wine grapes.
AIDS: A National and Global Concern
Last year, 5 million people-14,000 a day- were newly infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the agent that causes AIDS. Over 3 million people died of the disease. Of the 40 million people currently living with AIDS, some will survive for years, thanks to new drug combinations. But most will not, and the epidemic continues.
Alexandra Levine, M.D., is at the forefront of AIDS research and treatment. As a professor-physician and now the medical director of USC/Morris Cancer Hospital, she was one of the first doctors to show that when HIV attacks the immune system, it makes a patient susceptible to cancers, particularly lymphoma. President Clinton appointed her to his advisory committee on AIDS, where she served as research director. She has consulted governments all over the world in dealing with HIV/AIDS. Her clinical practice emphasizes lymphomas and HIV in women.
A leading cancer researcher, Levine has published over 300 research articles and book chapters. She has won many teaching awards from the medical students at USC.

Jazz: America's Classical Music
RAY DRUMMOND '68, bass
BILL MAYS, piano
The Ray Drummond and Bill Mays duo One to One are returning to the Athenaeum for a night of intimate musical conversation. Accomplished jazz musicians with lifetimes of experience performing with a virtual who's who of artists all over the world, Drummond and Mays first met in Claremont back in the '60s. Their return presents them with an opportunity to share their music and their life stories with a perspicacious audience in a truly intimate setting. Join them as the Athenaeum continues to celebrate its anniversary by presenting a night of America's classical music-jazz.
Unforgettable musician and CMC alumnus Ray Drummond '68 served as student body president and cofounded the "Jazz Society" with fellow student musicians and jazz enthusiasts while an undergraduate student in Claremont. After graduation Drummond worked as a business executive by day while moonlighting as a jazz musician until he realized that the second career was his true calling. Today he is an internationally acclaimed bassist, composer, and recording artist who has performed with musicians the caliber of Wynton Marsalis, Betty Carter, Woody Shaw, and Art Farmer, to name a few. Drummond's musical talents can be heard on over 100 jazz albums yet he still has found time to conduct, produce, and instruct jazz all over the world. His most recent album, One, Two, Three, Four, featuring solo, duo, trio, and quartet arrangements was released in 1999. Currently he is a professor at the Institute for Music and the Performing Arts at California State University at Monterey Bay.
Bill Mays's eclectic career as a pianist, composer and arranger spans the last 40 years. With deep roots in jazz, gospel, pop and classical music, Bill's artistry defies categorization. He has performed on over 100 recordings, including thirteen of his own. His concert and studio credits include work with artists as diverse as Barry Manilow, Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Frank Sinatra, Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Sarah Vaughan, and Frank Zappa. Bill's keyboard work has been heard on numerous soundtracks, among them Being John Malkovich (1999), Fargo (1996), Lethal Weapon (0987), Rocky (1976), and Superman (1978). Mays has written numerous compositions and arrangements and is a Steinway Piano Concert Artist. His latest CDs include Mays in Manhattan (1996), Summer Sketches (2001), and Going Home (2002). A native Californian, Bill now resides in New York City and northeastern Pennsylvania.
Is God Allowed Here? A Christian Professor Looks at Academia Today
A debate about the role of religion in our society, and more specifically, in education, has been raging for quite some time. Considering the political climate of today, it is probably fair to say that this debate may be even more explosive now than ever before. Claremont McKenna College's own Dr. Stephen Davis has an interesting perspective on this topic, considering he has earned both a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Claremont Graduate University and a Master's in Divinity from the Princeton Theological Seminary.
Since first coming to Claremont Men's College in 1970, Professor Davis has seen the school become coed, undergo a name change, and rise to a new level of national prominence. Having extensive experience in both religious and secular academic environments, Davis has come to believe that there is substantial pressure on those in academia to make religion a private matter. But is this how it really should be? In his presentation, Davis will address such trends as multiculturalism, relativism, and pluralism as they apply to religion and higher education.
In addition to teaching in CMC's philosophy department for more than thirty years, Davis also coached the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's soccer team for twenty-nine seasons. He is the author of Risen Indeed:Making Sense of the Resurrection (1993) and God, Reason, and Theistic Proofs (1997) and the coeditor of The Trinity: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Trinity (1999) and Incarnation: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Incarnation of the Son of God (2002).
This evening's lecture is the occasion for the installation of Stephen Davis as the Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy.
The Ku Klux Klan and the Separation of Church and State
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
Since the founding of our nation, the uniquely American relation of church and state has been a source of both pride and controversy. The debate rages today on many fronts as the legitimacy of faith-based organizations receiving federal funding, the role of religion in public schools, and even the Pledge of Allegiance are disputed questions. The Supreme Court will take up two crucial cases on matters of church and state this term as society continues to wrestle over the meaning of the First Amendment.
What underlies much of the current controversy is the idea that the First Amendment means to sever the relation between religion and government. In 2002 Harvard University Press released Philip Hamburger's significant scholarly work, Separation of Church and State, which challenges the prevailing notion that the First Amendment was designed to separate church and state. His groundbreaking book asserts that the original understanding of the First Amendment changed over the years as various individuals and groups used it in order to divide religion and government.
In his Athenaeum lecture Hamburger will talk about the role of the Ku Klux Klan in advocating the separation of church and state. Among the questions he will consider is why one of the most notorious organizations in American history devoted itself to this principle, and what this can reveal about both the Klan and the separation of church and state.
Philip Hamburger is currently the John P. Wilson Professor of Law at the University of Chicago. He has written numerous articles in the fields of constitutional law and legal history on everything from the nineteenth century theory of contract to natural rights and the early American state constitutions.
Professor Hamburger received his B.A. in history from Princeton University and his J.D. from Yale Law School. After working as an associate for Schnader, Harrison, Segal and Lewis in Philadelphia, he has taught law for close to twenty years at various prestigious institutions, including the University of Connecticut and the George Washington University National Law Center.
Lunch will be served at 11:45 am Professor Hamburger will speak at 12:15 pm.
Why Isn't the Whole World Wealthy?
This year's first lecture in the Podlich Distinguished Fellow series will be presented by Lee Alston, professor of economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. For his Athenaeum talk, Professor Alston will pull together the threads of many of his research interests to focus on the question: "Why Isn't the Whole World Wealthy?" His discussion will emphasize institutions and property rights and cover a broad swath of history and diverse international experiences, from the "Glorious Revolution" in England to today's Latin America and North Korea. Alston will also consider lessons for growth promoting institutions in the United States.
Professor Alston's most recent work includes a June 2003 working paper on "The Erosion of Rule of Law in Argentina, 1930-1947." He also continues to examine the political economy of resource management in Brazil and just retuned in December from a visit to that country. Alston's book publications include two recent volumes on Titles, Conflict, and Land Use: The Development of Property Rights and Land Reform on the Brazilian Amazon Frontier (1999) and Southern Paternalism and the American Welfare: Economics. Politics, and Institutions in the South, 1865-1965 (1999). The first book examines how the absence of well defined property rights has led to economic and social problems, including lost investment and violence. The second book shows how the timing and extent of the America welfare state up until the Civil Rights Acts was influenced by the Southern agricultural elite, who used their political power at the local, state, and national level to maintain a discriminatory legal environment.
Alston received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington in 1978 and has previously taught at Williams College and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has published numerous professional articles in such journals as the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, the Journal of Economic History and the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization. His wide-ranging interests include economic history, economic development, political economy, environmental economics and new institutional economics.
Why We Hate You! The Passions of National Identity and Ethnic Conflict
An expert on the Soviet Union, particular Russian peoples, Professor Ronald Grigor Suny is a scholar in the study of ethnic conflict and genocide, with a special focus on the South Caucasus. In his Athenaeum address, Professor Suny will examine the role of emotions in ethnic politics and will make the argument that emotions, while originating in the body and brain, are in large part socially, historically, and culturally constructed. To understand ethnic conflict, violence, and genocide, the emotional dimensions must be analyzed along with the rational, instrumentalist decisions made by perpetrators. Suny seeks to specify and investigate which emotions - anger, fear, hate, resentment- are at play in various historical clashes.
Ronald Suny is currently Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. Previously he has taught at Oberlin College, University of California at Irvine, Stanford University, and the University of Michigan. He is the author of numerous articles and over a dozen books, most recently including The Revenge of the Past: Nationalism, Revolution, and the Collapse of the Soviet Union (1993); The Soviet Experiment: Russia, the USSR, and the Successor States (1998); Transcaucasia, Nationalism and Social Change: Essays in the History of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia (1996). Suny has appeared frequently on the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour, CBS Evening News, CNN, and National Public Radio, and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times. In addition to his writing on ethnic conflict and the non-Russian peoples of the former Soviet Union, Professor Suny has also organized workshops bringing Turkish, Armenian, and other scholars together to discuss the 1915 massacres and deportations of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire.
Professor Suny's lecture and visit to CMC is sponsored by The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

Supplier Diversity and Development
About the Program
Enhanced tools, processes, and communications are standard, integral parts of our business model. They reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and supplier diversity. We value both strengthening existing programs/processes and seeking new ways to successfully help our suppliers provide even more value for their customers, including SCE.
Diversity Spending & Opportunities
In 2011, spending with diverse business enterprises (DBEs) —woman-, minority-, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses —reached nearly $1.4 billion. This represents 33.7% of our procurement budget, exceeding the California Public Utilities Commission's target of 21.5% and our 2010 figure of 27.1%. As we look to the future, supplier diversity continues to be a key corporate goal, and we have set a target of 40% of procurement spending with diverse suppliers by 2016.
Awards & Recognition
We're earning accolades for success in supplier diversity. Most recently, the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce named us to its 2012 Million Dollar Club for "unwavering support for Hispanic Business Enterprises."
DBE Subcontracting (Tier 2) Program
We encourage our prime suppliers (DBE and non-DBE) to follow our lead and adopt their own formal initiatives towards diversity and inclusion. We also encourage them to partner with diverse businesses through subcontracting arrangements and participation in our Diverse Business Enterprise (DBE) Subcontracting (Tier 2) Program. In 2011, our prime suppliers reported $428.2 million in DBE subcontracting spend.
If you are a prime supplier and received notification, please report your DBE Subcontracting (Tier 2) spend into the SCE DBE Subcontracting Portal. For more details Click Here

Martin, Judge and I meet with the board and superintendent of New Albany Floyd County Parks this evening. We are happy to announce they have approved big changes that will greatly improve the course. Once changes are made, the parks department wants to pour concrete pads this fall.
The next step is to meet with the parks department at the course and go over the changes on the ground so they can see first hand everything we want to do. Once that happens and everything is approved, I will post about it here.
I will tell you that the changes will make the course more fun, significantly more challenging, and will better showcase the natural beauty of this fantastic park.

Fred Norris remembers well the gas shortage of 1973. He was owner of Norris Brothers BP on Alamance Road in Burlington.
"It was a mess," Norris said, recalling people's reactions to not being able to fill the tanks of their beloved Furys, Impalas, LTDs and other big rides.
"I had people threaten to whoop me."
Norris didn't take a punch in the name of octane, but gas-related assaults — by individuals using both fists and guns — were reported in other parts of the country. The gas shortage was the result of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries cutting shipments to the United States.
Gas that could have been had for 30 cents or so a gallon prior to the embargo quickly doubled in price — when it could be had. In many instances, there was no gas available, regardless of the price.
This marks the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the OPEC embargo, where Americans learned that cheap and plentiful gas wasn't a God-given right.
THOUGH THERE had been rumblings since early in 1973 that the price and availability of gas was about to undergo drastic changes, the embargo didn't start until October, when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel.
When the United States supported Israel in the conflict, the reaction from OPEC (made up primarily of Arab nations) was swift and decisive: They had the gall to stop almost all oil shipments to the United States.
It wasn't a good time to be driving a V8-powered American cruiser that got 8 miles to the gallon. The United States was at the time importing 35 percent of its energy needs and the country's petroleum supplies were almost nonexistent.
The government — as well as corporations and individuals — were unprepared for what followed. At the time, 85 percent of the American workforce drove to their places of employment. An economy car was a Dodge Dart that got 18 miles to the gallon.
The embargo soon extended to western Europe and Japan, and dealt a crippling blow to the world economy. The price of oil, which had been selling for $3 a barrel earlier in the year, soared to $12 by the end of 1973.
In Alamance County, as was the case in most communities throughout the country, there was a combination of shock and disbelief as the supply of cheap gas ran dry. By December 1973, the Times-News (at the time the Daily Times-News) reported stations empty of gas and no relief in sight. The situation worsened through the first months of 1974 with gas shortages and long lines of drivers waiting at the few stations that had fuel.
Most of those stations pumped gas, when they had it, for short periods of time. Sales were limited to $3 per customer, $5 if you were lucky. One area station owner who didn't want his name used laughed that since many dealers wouldn't pump gas for vehicles they didn't work on, some car owners would pay for a tuneup just to get a tank of fuel.
Most stations in Alamance County went to a system known as "The Orgeon Plan" where motorists could buy gas based on the last number of their vehicle license plates. If a plate ended with an even number, the driver could buy gas on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. For odd plates it was Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
Carl Trollinger of Duncan Exxon on South Church Street was one of the proponents of the odd/even plan — pushing for it while speaking at a number of meetings of local gas station operators in that era. Even with the odd/even distribution cycle, stations were open only an hour and a half in the morning and the same amount of time in the afternoon.
The first day — a Monday — the plan went into effect the Times-News sent a reporter to Duncan Exxon to see how things were going. The resulting story detailed something resembling chaos, with motorists waiting in line and station employees hustling to pump as much gas as they had.
When asked how much gas he expected to have remaining for his afternoon customers, a frazzled Trollinger barked: "About a pocketful."
Today, Trollinger — who still works daily at Duncan Exxon — manages to laugh as he recalls the dilemma that unfolded almost 40 years ago. He said he remembers the era "probably too well."
Trollinger said over the years he heard all kinds of theories pertaining to the shortage. None of them made a lot of sense.
"I heard about black market gas," Trollinger said. "All I know is, I couldn't get the gas I needed."
Max Fogleman was selling cars at Atwater Ford in downtown Burlington when the oil embargo took effect. He said one of the theories he's heard is that tankers loaded with oil were sitting just off the coast, waiting for price hikes to take effect before they'd unload.
Fogleman said he had a cousin who was in the merchant marines who told him that was the case. He said the car industry began a shift toward smaller cars and said there was more interest in vehicles like the Ford Pinto when prices skyrocketed and there was little gas to be had.
But in his next breath, Fogleman points out the Pinto only had "a little dinky four-cylinder motor." Even as a former Ford salesman, Fogleman has a hard time getting too enthused over the anemic Pinto.
Besides, he said, "There wasn't ever a gas shortage. They had plenty of gas all along."
IF NOTHING else, the embargo of the early '70s went far toward changing the car-buying habits of Americans. In 1973, Japan produced small vehicles that were vastly superior to those American car-makers were churning out (Seriously, does anyone have fond memories of the Chevrolet Vega?).
It's taken decades for American car-makers to recover and in many ways they never did. In 2006, for the first time ever, imported cars accounted for more than half the vehicles sold in the United States.
Such information, however, must include an asterisk. Many of today's "foreign" cars are made in the United States — rolling off assembly lines anywhere from South Carolina to California. According to the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, which represents such bigwigs as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia and Subaru, 55 percent of those "foreign" cars sold in the United States are, in fact, built here.
Sharon Spray, a professor of political science and environmental science at Elon University, said the oil embargo and resulting gas shortage of the early '70s resulted in "significant changes" in the manner in which Americans looked at vehicles and more.
"It started a concerted effort to think of conservation," Spray said. "Japanese cars implemented conservation measures never thought of before. Our car industry was not prepared. The Japanese were. Detroit didn't see this coming."
She said today, vast reserves of oil remain, though it's more difficult to find and pump than it was decades ago. Government officials in individual states — North Carolina included — must decide if they want practices such as offshore drilling on their home turf.
"The oil is still out there, but it's going to get harder and harder to get," Spray said.
