• Ligonier Valley Cadets Recognize Local Wwii Veteran Who Gave His Life

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life, above and beyond the call of duty, on 23 August 1944. Staff Sgt. Carey, leader of a machine-gun section, was advancing with his company in the attack on the strongly held enemy hill 154, near Plougastel, Brittany, France. The advance was held up when the attacking units were pinned down by intense enemy machine-gun fire from a pillbox 200 yards up the hill. From his position covering the right flank, Staff Sgt. Carey displaced his guns to an advanced position and then, upon his own initiative, armed himself with as many hand grenades as he could carry and without regard for his personal safety started alone up the hill toward the pillbox. Crawling forward under its withering fire, he proceeded 150 yards when he met a Ger...

• Umaine Restructure Plan Ok'd ; the Action by the System's Trustees Brings Protests From Staff and Students.

The University of Maine System board of trustees unanimously approved a strategic plan to restructure the state's public college system Monday, capping months of often acrimonious debate with a quick vote. The approval was expected, and now Maine's seven universities must determine how to put the board's strategic vision into practice. The proposal has met with significant resistance. Plans to merge the University of Maine at Augusta with the University of Southern Maine are particularly contentious. Groups of legislators and the statewide faculty union have both threatened to block the merger. In addition to the merger of USM and UMA, Monday's approval will mean universities at Fort Kent, Presque Isle and Machias will begin to act in a consortium, developing a common general education ...

• Delaying Medical Marijuana Law Costly

When the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors passed a moratorium on June 23, 2009, banning the operation of medical marijuana collectives in the unincorporated areas of the county, they justified their action by claiming staff needed the time to draft an ordinance that would put reasonable regulations and licensing procedures in place. While this moratorium is in effect, medical marijuana patients have no choice but to obtain their marijuana the old fashioned way - they buy it from criminals.

• Uc Police Needs Standards for Handling Protests

This week's report on the infamous UC Davis police use of pepper spray on peaceful protesters first tells us what we already knew, that the outrageous action was unjustified. But the review - by a panel of university faculty, staff, alumni and students, and led by former state Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso - also paints a shocking picture of an inept campus administration and a dysfunctional police department.

• Another Gulf War Syndrome?

(The military now operates several actual incinerators and has made efforts to create recycling programs, but the majority of war-zone trash is still burned in pits.) On Burn Pits Action Center, a website operated by the staff of Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.)-who learned of the problem via the reporting of Army Times writer Kelly Kennedy in 2008-GIs describe dumping rat poison, hydraulic fluid, and pressure-treated wood into the pits. (Neither Pentagon officials nor the White House responded to requests for comment on this story.) The government's reluctance to acknowledge the potential hazard has frustrated veterans' advocates, who remember how long it took for the Pentagon to recognize Gulf War Syndrome in the 1990s, and to acknowledge the health problems caused by aerial spraying during ...
