SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LEON E. PANETTA: Everybody ready?
It is a personal pleasure to be here in Cairo. This is my second trip to Egypt as Secretary of Defense, although I've taken a number of trips here in other capacities.
I'd also like to thank Ambassador Anne Patterson for joining me here. She is truly an outstanding ambassador. I had a chance to work with her closely in Pakistan, and now we continue that cooperation here in Egypt.
I just completed some very productive meetings with President Morsi and Field Marshal Tantawi. It was my first meeting with President Morsi, and I congratulated him and the Egyptian people on this important moment in Egypt's transition to democracy.
I also met with Field Marshal Tantawi, and my message today was consistent with our previous conversations. The U.S. strongly supports an orderly, peaceful and legitimate transition to a democratic system of government here in Egypt.
Field Marshal Tantawi's leadership, I believe, has been critical in overseeing a peaceful, free and fair election. And I commended him and the SCAF [Supreme Council of Armed Forces] on their positive role in this process.
I was pleased to hear Field Marshal Tantawi affirm his continuing commitment to the transition to full civilian rule. Their support for this process will remain important in the months ahead.
The United States strongly supports Egypt's democratic future, and we have an interest in seeing Egypt succeed.
As Secretary Clinton made clear in Alexandria earlier this month, we are committed to economic assistance that will help Egyptians create jobs, grow the economy and widen the circle of prosperity.
In my discussions with the president and Field Marshal Tantawi, we affirmed the importance of the U.S.-Egypt defense relationship and of our strong mil-to-mil relationship. It has been an anchor of regional stability for more than 30 years and a positive force during this transition.
We discussed a range of shared security challenges, from violent extremism to concerns surrounding Egypt's border, and we agreed that these challenges are best confronted cooperatively.
I was pleased to hear Egypt's leaders affirm the importance of honoring international commitments.
Going forward, we are committed to helping a sovereign Egypt complete the transformation to full civilian rule.
There will be challenges ahead. The effort to try to put in place democratic institutions of government and the constitutional reforms. The importance of the challenge of strengthening the economy here. The importance of providing for the security of Egypt. And the importance of promoting a broad-based coalition that is critical to the success of government here in Egypt.
I believe that the outcome of confronting these challenges will be a better and more prosperous future for the people of Egypt. And once again I would like to commend President Morsi and the Egyptian people on achieving this historic moment in their long history.
Thank you.
ACTING ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS GEORGE LITTLE: The Secretary will now take questions.
Phil Stewart of Reuters?
Q: Mr. Secretary, were you assured by your conversation -- Mr. Secretary, were you assured by your conversations with President Morsi that you can depend on this new relationship, given the Muslim Brotherhood's ties to Hamas, which the United States considers to be a terrorist organization?
And is there a disagreement -- if there were to be a disagreement between Morsi and Field Marshal Tantawi over a security matter, whose side would the United States support?
SEC. PANETTA: I was -- I was convinced that President Morsi is his own man and that he is the president of all the Egyptian people and that he is truly committed to implementing democratic reforms here in Egypt.
And it's my view, based on what I have seen and the discussions I've had, that President Morsi and Field Marshal Tantawi have a very good relationship and are working together towards the same ends.
MR. LITTLE: (inaudible) of Egyptian TV?
Q: (inaudible)
MR. LITTLE: Take the microphone.
Q: Okay. Thank you.
Now we have a new president with an Islamic background. Also, the new government that will be formed during our (inaudible). Does that make United States change its military policy (inaudible) or you will follow the same way as well? How will be the military cooperation between the two countries, Egypt and United States, during the next phase?
And finally, you are always saying that United States seeks to maintain the security in the region in all the countries, okay? Is that to save Israel and its border? Thank you.
SEC. PANETTA: Okay. I mean, first of all, I think it's clear that Egypt, following the revolution, is committed to putting in place a democratic government.
And a democratic government represents I think all of the constituencies and interests that are here in Egypt. And for that reason, I am confident that -- that the democracy here will fully represent, you know, a number of views. My own country is an example of democracy where there are sometimes very different views as to how issues ought to be dealt with.
But in the context of the democratic institutions that we have put -- put in place, there is a free and fair debate over those issues and what course of action should be taken. And I'm confident that the same thing will happen here in Egypt.
For that reason, there is continuing support for a strong mil-to-mil relationship because security for Egypt is important to the stability of this country as it implements this democratic transition. We have -- we have a history of working together in a cooperative way with the Egyptian military leadership. We will continue to provide whatever aid or assistance we can to try to help them in this effort.
And it was clear to me both from Field Marshal Tantawi and President Morsi that they, too, are committed to continuing that relationship. And our goal, frankly, is an Egypt that can secure itself in the region so that it can be a strong democracy for the future.
MR. LITTLE: Elizabeth Bumiller of the New York Times.
Q: Thanks, Mr. Secretary.
Yesterday or the day before, you talked about going to Israel and discussing contingencies with the Israeli leadership. Today, I'm sure you know, in the Israeli press there's a lot of reports that you're going to go, and in fact those contingencies would include discussing U.S. war plans for a strike on Iran, should it come to that after some time.
Could you expand on that? I assume the contingencies you're discussing include a military option for the United States.
SEC. PANETTA: Well, you know, we -- we have in the past and we'll continue to discuss the situation with regards to Iran and the threat that it poses in the region. Both of our countries are committed to ensuring that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. And to that extent, we continue to -- to work together in the effort to ensure that Iran does not reach that -- that point of developing a nuclear weapon.
As -- as with regards to any specific plans, you know, we -- we -- I think it's the wrong characterization to say that we're -- we're going to be discussing potential attack plans. What we are discussing are various contingencies and how we would respond.
Q: (inaudible) military option plan?
SEC. PANETTA: Well, you know, we -- we don't talk about, obviously, you know, what specific military plans that we have. We -- we obviously continue to work on a number of options in that area. But the discussions that I hope to have with Israel are going to be more about what is the threat that we're confronting and to try to share both information and intelligence on that.
MR. LITTLE: (inaudible)?
Q: What are the American military options in Syria? Would Washington act unilaterally? Is part of your case is to make a unified position to move ahead.
And my second question is related to Egypt. What -- what did you take about (inaudible) as a condition for U.S. aid to Egypt (inaudible) of the military and police (inaudible)? And did you raise this issue with military leaders today? Thank you.
SEC. PANETTA: With regard to Pat Leahy's issues, I have not -- I have not looked at what, you know, what specifics he's raised. I guess I would ask Anne Patterson if she's familiar with any of those issues.
AMBASSADOR ANNE PATTERSON: As a matter of policy, the administration opposes conditions on military assistance to Egypt. And we've been in a discussion with -- with Senator Leahy and members of Senator Leahy's staff and other members of our Congress about these conditions. But our policy on that is quite straightforward. Generally, we oppose conditions (inaudible).
SEC. PANETTA: And with regards to the situation in Syria, we have a responsibility at the Department of Defense to prepare a number of options in order to respond to the president should he ask for particular options on the military side. But the situation right now is one in which the United States continues to work with our international allies to try to bring as much pressure as possible on the Assad regime for Assad to step down and for them to implement democratic reforms that will protect and give opportunity to the Syrian people.
In addition to that, we are working on efforts to provide humanitarian assistance because of the refugee issues that are impacting on both Turkey and Jordan, and to provide whatever assistance we can to help in the humanitarian area.
The other area that we are continuing to work on is the security of the chemical and biological sites that are located in Syria. We are concerned that those sites be secured and that those weapons do not fall into the wrong hands.
And lastly, there are efforts to provide assistance to the opposition as they confront the Assad regime. Those are areas where we are continuing to do everything we can to try to ensure that ultimately Assad does the right thing, steps down, and allows Syria to be -- to be controlled and to be governed by the Syrian people.
SEC. PANETTA: At this time, you know, as I said, we prepare options, but at this point, we are continuing to work on -- with the international community and are not contemplating any unilateral steps.
MR. LITTLE: We have time for a couple more questions.
Adam -- Adam Entous of the Wall Street Journal.
Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
I just wanted to clarify in response to Elizabeth's question, when you talk about contingencies and how we'd respond, do you mean we'd respond to an Iranian -- Iran responding to an Israeli strike? Is that what you mean? In other words, protecting Israel in the event that rockets are fired from Iran?
And then on -- with regard to the situation here in Egypt, you had an exceptionally close relationship with Suleiman and Mubarak on key counterterrorism cooperation. Can you realistically expect a government dominated by Muslim Brotherhood to be as aggressive against A.Q. [Al Qaida] and other groups?
SEC. PANETTA: First of all, you know, again we -- we discuss various contingencies. And I'm not going to go into details as to what exactly those various contingencies would be other than to say that we discuss what -- what the situation is, we share intelligence, we share information, and we share concerns about how those -- those issues should be addressed. But I'm not going to go into specifics about the -- the contingencies that we discuss.
With regards to Suleiman and -- and -- and the efforts in the past dealing with Egypt, there's no question that there was a -- a relationship to -- to work together to confront Al Qaida and extremism.
And it was interesting that I raised those issues with both Field Marshal Tantawi and with President Morsi, and they agreed that, you know, they would cooperate in every way possible to ensure that -- that extremists like Al Qaida are dealt with and that efforts are made to provide strong counterterrorism efforts in order to ensure that Egypt is protected and secured for the future.
MR. LITTLE: Final question, from the Middle East News Agency, (inaudible).
Q: Mr. Minister, do you think after talking with President Morsi and Field Marshal Tantawi today that there is a need for stability to increase Egyptian troops in Sinai?
SEC. PANETTA: (inaudible)
Q: In Sinai.
SEC. PANETTA: That there is an effort to?
Q: To increase Egyptian troops in Sinai.
SEC. PANETTA: We -- the issue of Sinai was raised, both in my discussions with Field Marshal Tantawi and with President Morsi. And we, you know, we believe that the issues in the Sinai are obviously under the jurisdiction of Egypt to try to maintain security in the Sinai.
We indicated concerns about some of the security threats there. some of it the result of, you know, border -- border efforts that have not been sometimes effective at controlling individuals and weapons that have come through the various borders and that have impacted there. There have been some circumstances that have concerned us.
But having said that, I think there was a -- there was an understanding that we would continue to work with them in every way possible to provide for that security, but we did not talk about increasing any kind of troop presence there.
MR. LITTLE: Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary, Ambassador.
Thanks to all of you.

With summer right around the corner, how can I protect my skin?
May 5, 2014
Article from WebMD - Sunburn - Prevention - 5/5/2014
Sunburn - Prevention
Protecting your skin
Most skin cancer can be prevented. Use the following tips to protect your skin from the sun. You may decrease your chances of developing skin cancer and help prevent wrinkles.
Avoid sun exposure
The best way to prevent a sunburn is to avoid sun exposure.
Stay out of the midday sun (from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon), which is the strongest sunlight. Find shade if you need to be outdoors. You can also calculate how much ultraviolet (UV) exposure you are getting by using the shadow rule: A shadow that is longer than you are means UV exposure is low; a shadow that is shorter than you are means the UV exposure is high.
Other ways to protect yourself from the sun include wearing protective clothing, such as:
Preventing sun exposure in children
You should start protecting your child from the sun when he or she is a baby. Because children spend a lot of time outdoors playing, they get most of their lifetime sun exposure in their first 18 years.
If you can't avoid being in the sun, use a sunscreen to help protect your skin while you are in the sun.
Be sure to read the information on the sunscreen label about the SPF factor listed on the label and how much protection it gives your skin. Follow the directions on the label for applying the sunscreen so it is most effective in protecting your skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Skelly is Named Second Team All-West Region
Led NWC in Scoring with 16 Goals and 37 Points
SALEM, ORE. -- Senior midfielder Stephanie Skelly (Poulsbo, WA/North Kitsap HS) from Willamette University has been chosen Second Team All-West Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). At total of 40 athletes received All-West Region honors, with 12 on the First Team, 14 on the Second Team and 14 on the Third Team.
Skelly led the Northwest Conference this season in goals and in total points. She scored 16 goals and added five assists for 37 points. She recorded two goals in six different games and was involved in 21 of the 37 goals scored by Willamette this year.
Her goal with 21 seconds remaining against University of Puget Sound -- her second goal of the game -- provided the Bearcats with a 2-1 victory over the Loggers on Oct. 23. Overall, Skelly achieved three game-winning goals this season, giving her 10 game-winners during her career.
Led by Skelly's outstanding play, Willamette went 11-8-1 overall and took third place in the NWC with a 10-5-1 record.
'I'm very pleased that Stephanie Skelly has been selected to the All-West Region Team," Willamette Head Coach Hillary Arthur said. "Not only was Stephanie recognized within our conference by being selected as the Offensive Player of the Year, but she has been honored on the Regional level as well."
During her career, Skelly scored 35 goals and achieved 7 assists for 77 points. She played in a total of 75 games, including 70 starts for the Bearcats.
Skelly was named First Team All-Northwest Conference in 2009 and 2011, and was chosen Second Team All-NWC in 2010. She was chosen NWC Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Year this season.
She increased her goal-scoring each year, from two goals as a freshman and six goals as a sophomore to 11 goals during her junior season and 16 goals this year. During her career, Skelly blasted 196 total shots, including 97 shots on goal.
Recently, Skelly was selected First Team Capital One Academic All-America for NCAA Division III, as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). She was named First Team Academic All-District VIII for the second year in a row. Skelly is majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, and has earned a 3.877 cumulative grade point average.
"Stephanie's many awards and honors pay tribute to the fact that she is as dedicated on the field as she is in the classroom. Because of her commitment, effort, passion and work ethic, Stephanie is being honored on many levels both academically and athletically," Arthur said. "It's great when you see someone who has worked so hard and been so committed be recognized as she has."

MOOSIC — Police are outside the home of John Tanis. He was taken to jail Tuesday for a bail violation. Now, a code enforcement officer who went into the house has decided it's not safe.
Moosic police have been outside John Tanis' house on Main Street for almost 24 hours since they took Tanis to jail Tuesday for a bail violation.
Moosic borough's code enforcement officer took a look inside John Tanis' house on Main Street and decided that it wasn't safe for neighbors. He ordered that utilities be shut off immediately. Workers from Pennsylvania American Water and UGI Natural Gas were at the home in the morning.
One borough official told Newswatch 16 that the home was filled with trash and had a stench that was potentially dangerous if the utilities were left on without the owner home.
The owner, John Tanis, was taken to jail 24 hours earlier. Tanis is facing animal cruelty charges and a judge says Tanis violated his bail by having more than one dog on his property.
Police have been to the house three times in one week and sat outside it for a full 24 hours after Tanis was sent to jail.
Neighbors on Main Street are used to noise in this part of the borough but they had thought the noise surrounding Tanis' animal abuse case had quieted for now.
Francis Supinski says he doesn't know Tanis but knew parts of his property were in poor condition. He says knowing that the inside of his home may match the outside and that it's potentially dangerous makes him nervous.
"I was a little shocked, like I said. I don't know too much about the fellow but I'm glad it's being done now and be back to normal again, "Supinski said.
John Tanis was taken to the Lackawanna County jail Tuesday after violating his bail.
Tanis is at the center of an animal abuse case that's received a lot of attention. Police have taken 30 dogs out of his home since he was charged with animal cruelty last year.
Later this week, a Lackawanna County judge will decide if Tanis is to stay in jail until his trial set for May.
If he is freed, he has another order, this time from Moosic borough officials, to clean up his property before his utilities can be turned on.

Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.
Significant Manuscript collections (view all)
- Agricultural education
- Papers of faculty members at Massachusetts Agricultural College and UMass Amherst, as well as educational organizations dedicated to instruction in the agricultural sciences. Among the individuals represented are the agricultural educator, Kenyon Butterfield; Levi Stockbridge, the first farm manager and long-time instructor at MAC; and William Smith Clark, William Penn Brooks, and William Wheeler, who were instrumental in the 1870s in establishing the agricultural college in Hokkaido, Japan.
- Farming and rural life

American Morgan Horse Association
American Morgan Horse Association Registry Records, 1911-1981.
Call no.: MS 781
In 1789, Vermont native Justin Morgan acquired a bay colt in Springfield, Mass., that became the progenitor of a distinctly American breed of general purpose horse. Noted for its stamina, strength, disposition, and beauty, the Morgan became widely popular in western Massachusetts and Vermont, eventually spreading nationally and internationally. To support the breed, the Morgan Horse Club (later the American Morgan Horse Association) was founded in 1909 and today maintains the breed registry, publishes The Morgan Horse magazine, and offers a wide range of public information and educational services.
The Registry records of the AMHA are a product of concern during the late 19th century for documenting and preserving the integrity of the Morgan breed and a means for breeders to certify pedigrees for their stock. In 1894, Joseph Battell published the first volume of the Morgan Horse and Register containing nearly 1,000 pages of pedigrees for "any meritorious stallion, mare, or gelding tracing in direct male line to Justin Morgan and having at least 1/64 of his blood," and although standards have been modified since, the registry remains the primary source for documenting the history of the breed. The records in this collection include approved applications for the AMHA registry, including pedigrees and supporting materials.

Brooks, William Penn, 1851-
William Penn Brooks Papers, 1863-1939.
Call no.: RG 003/1 B76
Two years after graduating from Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1875, William Penn Brooks accepted an invitation from the Japanese government — and his mentor, William Smith Clark — to help establish the Sapporo Agricultural School. Spending over a decade in Hokkaido, Brooks helped to introduce western scientific agricultural practices and the outlines of a program in agricultural education, and he built a solid foundation for the School. After his return to the states in 1888, he earned a doctorate at the University of Halle, Germany, and then accepted a position at his alma mater, becoming a leading figure at the Massachusetts Experiment Station until his retirement in 1921.
Brooks' papers consist of correspondence, photographs, newspaper clippings, an account book, and translations which provide rich detail on Brooks' life in Japan, the development of Sapporo Agricultural College (now Hokkaido University), and practical agricultural education in the post-Civil War years.

Burgett-Irey family
Burgett-Irey Family Papers, 1832-2010 (Bulk: 1929-2008).
Call no.: MS 605
Born in 1908 to Louis and Sarah Kessel Burgett, Katherine grew up on the family farm outside of Oquawka, Illinois. In 1924 her parents purchased their own farm in Monmouth, which they later lost due to the devastating impact of the Depression on agriculture, and it was there that she first met her future husband, Kenneth Monroe Irey, a student at Monmouth College. The newlyweds moved to New Jersey in 1931 where Kenneth was transferred for work. As a chemical engineer, Kenneth enjoyed a successful career and comfortably supported his wife and two children. Retiring in 1970, he and Katherine spent their later years pursuing two passions: traveling and bird-watching. Kenneth and Katherine's eldest daughter, June Irey Guild, spent most of her adult life in Massachusetts where she has married twice, raised six children, and operated her own business. During her retirement years, June focused on preserving her family's history by collecting letters and recoding family narratives.
The Burgett-Irey Family Papers chronicle the changes that many twentieth-century American families experienced as the nation descended into an economic depression, entered into a world war, and emerged as one of the most powerful countries in the world. The collection, which will continue to grow, includes approximately 65 letters between Katherine Burgett Irey and her family. Most of the letters exchange family updates, particularly precious after Katherine relocated to New Jersey. Among the earliest letters is an account of Katherine and Kenneth's first meeting described as "fast work," since he asked her out on the spot. Also included are autobiographical writings by Kenneth describing his cross-country trip to California in 1927 and a brief history of his life and career.

Chamberlin, Judi, 1944-2010
Judi Chamberlin Papers, ca.1970-2010.
Call no.: MS 768
A pioneer in the psychiatric survivors' movement, Judi Chamberlin spent four decades as an activist for the civil rights of mental patients. After several voluntary hospitalizations for depression as a young woman, Chamberlin was involuntarily committed for the only time in 1971, having been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her experiences in the mental health system galvanized her to take action on patients' rights, and after attending a meeting of the newly formed Mental Patients' Liberation Project in New York, she helped found the Mental Patients' Liberation Front in Cambridge, Mass. Explicitly modeled on civil rights organizations of the time, she became a tireless advocate for the patient's perspective and for choice in treatment. Her book, On Our Own: Patient Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System (1978), is considered a key text in the intellectual development of the movement. Working internationally, she became an important figure in several other organizations, including the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilition at Boston University, the Ruby Rogers Advocacy Center, the National Disability Rights Network, and the National Empowerment Center. In recognition of her advocacy, she was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities in 1992, the David J. Vail National Advocacy Award, and the 1995 Pike Prize, which honors those who have given outstanding service to people with disabilities. Chamberlin died of pulmonary disease at home in Arlington, Mass., in January 2010.
An important record of the development of the psychiatric survivors' movement from its earliest days, the Chamberlin Papers include rich correspondence between Chamberlin, fellow activists, survivors, and medical professionals; records of her work with the MPLF and other rights organizations, conferences and meetings, and her efforts to build the movement internationally.

William L. Machmer Papers, 1899-1953.
Call no.: RG 006/1 M33
Enjoying one of the longest tenures of any administrator in the history of the University of Massachusetts, William Lawson Machmer served under five presidents across 42 years, helping to guide the university through an economic depression, two world wars, and three name changes. During his years as Dean, Machmer witnessed the growth of the university from fewer than 500 students to almost 3,800, and helped guide its transformation from a small agricultural college into Massachusetts State College (1931) and finally into the University of Massachusetts (1947).
Machmer's papers chronicle the fitful development of the University of Massachusetts from the days of Kenyon Butterfield's innovations of the 1920s through the time of the GI Bill. The collection is particularly strong in documenting the academic experience of students and the changes affecting the various departments and programs at the University, with particular depth for the period during and after the Second World War.

Washington by Design
What the look of the nation's capital tells us.
Jun 16, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 38 • By RICHARD STRINER
Washington from the Ground Up
AIA Guide to the Architecture of
The architecture of our nation's capital will never stop fascinating people, as two recent books about the city attest. The AIA Guide to the Architecture of Washington, D.C. is the latest in a series of highly selective guidebooks produced since the 1960s by the Washington chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Washington from the Ground Up is part of a series of books about cities of the world by a scholar who writes about urban history.
James McGregor's Washington from the Ground Up is a fine undertaking, a concise account of the city that integrates geography, history, and design. "From the ground up," the author discusses Washington's terrain and topography as they relate to its urban development.
McGregor is principally concerned with the evolution of the city (both planned and haphazard) and the growth of its federal component, its "monumental core." Two chapters on the U.S. Capitol building alone--admittedly a very interesting story--consume a quarter of the book. McGregor's strategy is to start with iconic federal buildings, then write about the precincts surrounding them. In this way the book expands its geographical coverage: from the U.S. Capitol to Capitol Hill, from the White House to Lafayette Square, then Federal Triangle, Foggy Bottom, the Mall. At last, the book reaches outlying precincts and neighborhoods.
The architectural history, as such, is often technical; readers at ease with architectural terminology will follow the descriptions of buildings more easily than others. But even casual readers will be captivated by McGregor's commentary on the European precedents that guided so many of the architects, artists, and planners who shaped the city. This commentary is interwoven with summaries of historical trends and events that illuminate the cultural landscape of Washington.
In covering architecture, McGregor handles the issues of aesthetic judgment and subjective taste fairly well. Writing of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building, he cites the influence of modernist "brutalism," a style that, he notes, "has been widely praised and widely criticized." Taste polemics can be perilous business, and McGregor has a light touch when it comes to these matters.
The historical treatment throughout the book is good, but McGregor--a professor of comparative literature at the University of Georgia--would have managed to avoid some mistakes if he had circulated his manuscript to a wider network of scholars, especially historians.
Some of the errors appear to be typos: He writes, for example, when discussing the colonial history of the mid-Atlantic region, that "Virginia colonists shipped some twenty pounds of tobacco to England" in 1620. (In fact, they sent in the neighborhood of 20 tons in 1620, according to historian Alden T. Vaughan.) Other errors appear to be Freudian slips: He refers to a Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington that "duplicates one that has hung in the White House since the beginning of the eighteenth century." (He means the 19th century, of course.)
A number of the errors seem to flow from unexamined premises. Referring to the British Proclamation of 1763, which halted colonial settlement at the Appalachian mountain line, McGregor writes that "everything west of this line would remain Indian land in perpetuity." No, the proclamation's language forbade any further settlement beyond the line "for the present," according to the British historian Ian R. Christie. A few of the errors appear to have been caused by simple haste: The first capital of the Confederacy was not "Mobile, Alabama" but Montgomery. Other errors are scattered through the volume, and it's a pity. Perhaps the mistakes can be corrected in a second (or the paperback) edition.
McGregor also lapses into unsustainable generalizations. Toward the end of the book, he states that "with the exception of a few days during the Civil War when the capital threatened to become a battleground, and a long weekend in the 1960s when riots tore through its central neighborhoods, the city has scarcely felt the exhilaration of great national movements or the cold breath of disaster." The mind reels: How hasty can analysis become? Surely the march of the Bonus Army in 1932, and Franklin Roosevelt's inauguration in 1933, brought the force of great historical events to the nation's capital. And many more examples could be given, including the examples from the War of 1812 that McGregor himself includes in the early chapters.

I don't know anything about drugs. Never tried them. Yet as I write this, I am trying to sign a group with a song called "Bath Salts" and an album titled "D.R.U.G.S.". Danny Brown, my record label's marquee artist, calls himself the Adderall Admiral, openly does interviews high on Molly and raps: "it's a miracle I'm living." I happen to think he is one of the most enthralling artists out. How do I reconcile my respect for Danny and the fact that so many of his wildly creative and entertaining songs revolve around drug usage?

text: Steven Todd Campbell, 51, is under arrest after a faux pas yesterday morning at the Hall of Justice security checkpoint. The Sheriff's Office says that Campbell was coming into court for a hearing, having previously been out on bail for a meth possession charge. Campbell emptied his pockets for the metal detector, placing a number of items on the conveyor for the x-ray scanner. As Deputy Ryan Plank checked the scanning monitor, he noticed an item that looked like a meth pipe. A three-inch glass pipe was found tucked underneath a piece of paper on the tray; Plank arrested Campbell, and the pipe was taken for testing. Deputies say that residue in the pipe tested positive for meth. Campbell reportedly said that he had brought the pipe to the courthouse so that he could turn it in. Along with his previous charges of possession of meth and obstructing an officer, he is now being held on a new possession charge, held without bail until he has a court hearing.

Government passes law on phone and internet surveillance
The government has decided to pass a hotly debated law regulating the monitoring of phone and internet activity.
The law regulates how and when the police will be able to listen in on phone conversations and monitor internet activity.
According to the law, the police would be able to monitor people's activity on the internet and on the phone in secret, even before those people have been suspected of a crime.
The Social Democrats and the liberal parties are both in favour of the decision to pass the law, and agreed on the importance of being able to listen in on telephone conversations in crime and sexual abuse cases, as well as internet crime.
One of the most controversial issues regarding the new law is whether the police should have to right to crack down on petty internet crime. Jens Holm of the Left Party was one of the MPs who was critical of the law.
"In that case you would end up with the police being allowed to hunt down file-sharers, and then I think you've gone wrong", he told Swedish National Radio.

I have noticed their prices seem to constantly go up and the portions are smaller. The last few times I got take-out the order was not correct. I normally would not complain but there are several in the area to choose from. i am going to try the new place on Ridge Ave. which used to be Jade Court. I have heard it's been really good....sorry Ruby

Ruby got the greatest chinese food in the area. I went to like 4 different chinese restaurants in that area, and I personally thinks that Ruby is the best! Although the price is a little bit higher than others, but its worth
Posted by Melinda on 12/29/2006
Ruby's used to be a lot better! However, recently, I waited for over 10 mins. for the young woman at the counter to get off the phone and take my order. People were in the back ignoring me as well. No acknowledgement at all was made! I finally walked out. The last time I ordered they said they had brown rice but when I picked up the order, and was walking out the door the woman said that they ran out of brown rice. When I got home, I saw that I was still charged for the brown rice ($2 extra). The bean curd has been oily and swimming in way too much sauce. 80 percent of the container was sauce and 20 % was the tofu! They used to be a lot quicker,efficient, and the food was appropriate (for a shopping center fast food take out joint), but I won't go back. Jade Court is the better choice.

1 tablespoon
soy sauce
1 tablespoon
rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon
chili oil, or to taste
This stuff is sooo good! I made this the other night to go with steamed dumplings we ordered and unfortunately we didn't have enough sauce. For some reason one small cup for me just doesn't cut it. I used low sodium soy sauce and subbed sesame oil for the chili oil - I also added some finely chopped green onions. If you want to make it a bit sweeter add just the tiniest bit of brown sugar. You can change it up with ginger as well. Just play with it to suit your tastes.
Just 3 star as written for me. It had too much of a vinegar taste for my palet. I added more soy and grated a pinch of Ginger.

This was great. Over 20 years ago, a Japanese friend of mine showed me how to make this and I had forgotten. I did not have chili oil, so I used sesame oil. It turned out wonderful. My family loved it. Now I will have to try it with chili oil.
This is great and easy! I lightly drizzle seasame oil on potstickers or dumplings with this and it is a perfect little topper to a great dish! I also add finely chopped chives or green onions to it. Thanks!
Wow - this sauce is excellent. At first I thought it was a little too hot, but it actually really goes well with potstickers. I added about 1/2 tbsp of minced fresh ginger to top it off. Really delicious.
Very good as is but after tasting I added ginger, garlic powder and a touch of sesame oil. Used this for potstickers. Yum and thank you!
Oh my...this potsticker dip is amazing! I made it to go with regular frozen potstickers and it made them taste like restaurant quality! I didn't have chili oil so i used sesame oil instead and i also added chopped green onion and a tiny bit of grated garlic and ginger. Ok, so i completely changed the recipe...it's still good though!
This ratio of 1:1 soy sauce to vinegar is too sour for my taste. I tend to do 2/3 soy to 1/3 vinegar.

I know what you're gonna say, "there's already an EMV ride at WDW". But, I have something else in mind, something that could fit in Magic Kingdom's Adventureland. What if there was an Indy roller coaster, one that took you into the underground ruins of what's left of an ancient temple, something of a hybrid between the Indy ride in Califonia (scenery-wise) and Revenge of the Mummy (ride-wise *except done with chain lifts and fully foward*).
I know what you're gonna say, "WTF!? This ain't gonna work. It'll be a rip-off". Trust me, once you think about it, it's not. Plus, it's about time MK got a new E-Ticket (being they haven't recieved one in over 15 years).
Now, just look at this video, and you'll see what I'm trying to get at:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wxSWGRIaLuk
*Disclaimer: I did not make the video. I just found it and it made me think an Indy ride for WDW is possible without complete cloning.*

Could not have said it better.
The reason crime is down in the area is because they have taken everything they could. Now they are moving out into the suburbs.
After 27 convictions and a rape and murder; execution is more in order.
Ah she will miss bike night at Sterns Square, maybe she can come a day earlier and stop by and get some honest opinons from the crowd for nothing.
Will she dunk a few while her??
Actually he should re negotiate a new contract, and if the union don't like it hire new personel. These union are getting out of hand with civil servants.
No cooperation then just drop the investigation. Who ever shot at him will take another shot some day.
Hey Joe don't look now but start paddling you ass off.
Maybe if Jeanelis Gonzalez, the dog's owner, had keep her pit bull on a leash as the law requires, maybe her pet that was like a son to her would still be alive. I would have stabbed the dam dog had it been attacking me, hell I would have shot it.
Yep put all your info in one place so the hackers can get at it easier. The feds can spy on you easier also.
I agree with Op_bop_909, the government is lying to all of us, both state and federal. I have freind that have been out of work for 3 years, the unemployment benifits are gone, they are living of the savings, some have retired because hey are 62.
Remeber the unemployment rate only indicates they people collecting, not those that are out of work.
The reason being there is nothing of worth in Springfiled anylong so the criminals are moving out into the suburbs.
They should change the acronym to BLTG it just flows better.
As for trusting Romney; obama is not high on my list.
Yup lets start raising those rate abd cutting those cost.
There should be a ban on unruly children at resturants also.
First they let dogs in then cat then birds, it willl never end.
Just standing there; are you blind. That dog was jumping and barking all over the area. The owner should have called him off or settled it down. Last I knew pit bull are illegal in Springfield in the first place. So why is the owner not held responcible for two violations; having a pit bull and no lease.
Does Springfield not require all dogs to be on a leash like most town around here, the dog was not and therefore could have been jumping on him.
Control your dog he was running around and barking. You should have reeled the dog in and take him out of the situation.
Well of course they are down, nobody can afford gas at those prices. There is a large supply and no demand.
Seeing obama has done little to spur job growth in this country; it gas, food or rent. Which can you do witout
Hey Charlie you up for some human for supper tonight.
Hey well here in Wilbraham, a few years back they added $100 per house hold for the privlege to bring your trash to the dump in a $2.25 per bag bag.
At least they are still picking it up for you.
Don't know why there is a problem. If you don't pay your exise tax in my town you get a demand notice within a week. If you still don't pay the town send a cruiser over your house and removes your plates.
The major problem with Springfield is that most these cars are not legal, they have no insurance and the correct address is not listed. What is worse is the state registry does not care.
I have had the police over my house looking for someone that never lived there. This has happened several time in the past. They get their car registered and their license with my address. Went to the registry and their attitude was what do you want us to do. Simple require proof of residence.

PHOTOS/POLL: Southwest Florida schools slow to follow lead on Edison College smoking ban
Edison State College's recent decision to ban tobacco products on its campuses puts it out in front of its peers on the health and environmental issue.
Other Southwest Florida institutions, including one with an environmental mission, still allow smoking on campus, despite a growing trend around the country to snuff out smoking.
Florida Gulf Coast University officials considered a campus-wide ban about six years ago, but a vote by faculty and staff went against it.
"I think the current policy belies our commitment to be an environmentally-green campus," said FGCU professor Wayne Robinson. "Filters are the number one litter in the ocean. Secondhand smoke should be a number one issue for our president."
Some of Robinson's students have mounted an effort to do away with on-campus smoking.
FGCU student Lindsey Johnson was part of Robinson's Foundations of Civic Engagement class in the fall that built its service project around lobbying to ban smoking on campus. She said the effort is based on the ill health effects of secondhand smoke, as well as the overwhelming amount of litter represented by discarded cigarette butts.
As part of their work, Johnson and her classmates gathered information about fellow students' attitudes toward smoking and started formulating a lobbying campaign to do away with the habit on campus.
"With a lot of the surveys we got, we found that a lot of people would support a smoke-free FGCU," Johnson said. "A lot of people thought that, being that FGCU is an environmentally-friendly campus, and that is our mission statement, it kind of goes against what FGCU believes in (to allow smoking)."
Johnson and fellow students got organized under the anti-smoking banner during a fall class with Robinson, who the Daily News wrote about last fall after one of his students flagged the class as an example of "leftist abuse" to conservative college outreach Web site campusreform.org.
Robinson said he has asked President Wilson Bradshaw's office about the issue in the past, only to be told that members of his cabinet feel that there is too much opposition by students.
Johnson and another student from Robinson's class have gotten inspired to get more involved, and have plans to work with his spring semester class to push the initiative to the next level. Johnson said she hopes to eventually place the issue before the FGCU board of trustees.
"I believe that we are joining that discussion right now," said FGCU Provost Ron Toll. But, he said, "It would be premature to say where it's going to go."
Toll said the current policy is working well, with most students and staff remaining respectful of the limits on where they can smoke and what they do with their cigarette butts. Enforcement of the policy is generally verbal — anyone smoking outside the designated areas is respectfully reminded of the rules.
"I believe we will have further discussions," Toll said. "I believe the faculty is beginning to talk about it, and I think the students have certainly begun to talk about it. We're listening for the results of those conversations and hope to be informed by them."
A ban on tobacco products at all four Edison campuses, passed unanimously by trustees Jan. 26, goes into effect in May.
Other universities and colleges in the area allow smokers to congregate outside, away from entrances.
At FGCU and Ave Maria University, students are allowed to smoke in designated areas along the walkways of the school's campus. Both campuses are built on more of a traditional college blueprint than Hodges, with buildings scattered throughout the main campus, connected by outdoor walkways.
While indoor smoking has been banned at most colleges and universities since the 1990s, more and more schools are slowly forcing tobacco off campuses completely.
Following a survey conducted in conjunction with campus elections, Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton is implementing its own smoking ban. That effort began with students, who placed questions about smoking policies on the student body government ballot last spring.
Roughly 75 percent of students supported creating designated smoking areas, and 65 percent supported a campus-wide smoking ban, said Student Services Director Rosemary Dunbar.
FAU has plans to be completely smoke-free within a year.
After banning smoking at its stadium and medical facilities, the University of Florida campus in Gainesville made the decision to ban all smoking from its campus, starting in July.
"That's a big campus," said Dunbar. "That's a lot of people. If they can make it happen, we can make it happen too."
Officials at Edison will also phase in smoking bans. The college had already outlawed smoking on its Charlotte County and Hendry/Glades campuses starting in August, making it the first college in Florida to go completely smoke-free, said college spokeswoman Catherine Bergerson.
"We have been talking about it for years, and studying it for years," said Bergerson. "The first wave, if you will, went into effect in August on our Charlotte County campus. ... Since then it has been very well-received."
Edison student Logan Mohring, 21, said it makes sense for a campus attended by youngsters and adults alike. The effects of smoking typically hit more people than just the smoker, he said.
"The way the campus is built, there's (outdoor) hallways and walkways that are very long and the smoke just gets trapped," said Mohring, president of a student anti-smoking organization at Edison.
Plus, he said, emerging research on third-hand smoke — the carcinogens on clothing or car seats, can affect other people almost as negatively as secondhand smoke.
"Our biggest goal, though, is to slowly bring the idea that the campus will be smoke-free," he said. "With these types of changes, the most important thing is to gradually do it — not to do it cold turkey."
At Edison, officials sent an e-mail to the entire campus community to let them know about the availability of cessation programs, which will be offered through local health agencies, Bergerson said.
"We understand that compliance will be difficult in the early days," Bergerson said. "We want everyone to know that we have cessation help available and that they can contact human resources."

Great umbrella
This umbrella is great! It comes with a cool bag with a strap so you can sling it over your shoulder. Its light weight and its held up to some fairly strong gusts at the beach without a problem. Sticks in the ground well but i always feel safer using an umbrella anchor for peace of mind so i know for sure it stays put. Overall great umbrella and good shade for one person or two i recommend it.

Get an alert when we add new styles of O''Neill! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Jack O'Neill began surfing in 1952, before functional surf apparel was invented. While working for the Army Air Corps, O'Neill discovered neoprene foam in a DC-3 airplane. He then combined the neoprene carpeting with duct tape to create the first neoprene wetsuit.
Demand for O'Neill's neoprene wetsuits grew rapidly and he began a business selling the O'Neill wetsuits out of his garage. By 1980, he was a leader in the beach apparel industry with a thriving business. Since then, O'Neill™ has become a widely recognized and respected brand in the surf industry, continually creating new and innovative products. In addition to O'Neill wetsuits, they carry O'Neill boardshorts, O'Neill dresses, O'Neill hats, O'Neill rash guards, O'Neill swimsuits, O'Neill water shoes, O'Neill sandals, O'Neill life jackets and O'Neill t-shirts.
In addition to his business success, O'Neill also created a non-profit foundation for kids. O'Neill developed the O'Neill Sea Odyssey Program: a free, educational cruise that introduces kids to the microbiology of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, beginning at Jack O'Neill's doorstep.

Not Me! At least that was my answer for the last 39 years of my life. I had never even considered the fact that I might be a sacred soul or an important person.

St. Lucie County bike team has successful 1,000-mile journey for charity
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Members of the Van Duzer Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County overcame adversity and dealt with grief during their 30-day Be a Hero Bike Tour to Washington, D.C., which ended with a special extended meeting with the U.S. Surgeon General.
The group embarked on its 1,000-mile journey June 11 from West Palm Beach to spread a lifesaving message about the importance of donating blood. Several riders encountered some bumps in the road, but said the life-changing trip was well worth the bruises.
Brittany Fray, 13, of Port St. Lucie, from the Ken Pruitt Unit, hit a pothole in North Carolina and was treated in a Greenville hospital for cuts in her mouth. Fray's teammate, Joseph Noble, 17, of Fort Pierce, from the Infinity Teen Center, collapsed during a heat wave while pedaling through the same state. Five days into the tour, the team's camper driver collapsed and underwent surgery to implant a heart pacemaker. He promptly rejoined the team just days after the emergency surgery, foundation head Scott Van Duzer said.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Noble, who donated blood for the first time during the trip. "My No. 1 concern was the needle, but I learned giving blood doesn't hurt and it saves lives."
In Florida alone, the team collected 352 units of blood, Van Duzer said. Fray said she grew as a person and wouldn't hesitate to make the trip again.
The tour made stops at Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs and blood centers along the way to teach youth about donating once they become eligible at age 16.
The team was dealt a devastating blow in late June when it received news that 6-year-old Port St. Lucie resident Gibbs S. Antoine had died. Van Duzer said Gibbs was the reason he started holding blood drives. Gibbs needed several blood transfusions during his battle with brain cancer. The team donned memorial bracelets during the final days of the trip.
Van Duzer said the club members helped him mourn.
"Those kids will always be a part of my life," Van Duzer said. "All four just kept going. When your body feels like it can't go on, it's amazing what the mind can do. If you believe strongly enough in what you're doing, you can accomplish it."
The group met with U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin for four hours, Van Duzer said. Benjamin offered words of encouragement to the youth riders and congratulated them on a job well done.
"She believed wholeheartedly in what we're doing," Van Duzer said. "She couldn't believe what we've accomplished in such a small city."
