With US drawdown nearing, Afghans have little faith in their own security forces. The men sat on the ground inside a mud-brick barn listening to Capt. Philip Schneider, the air imbued with the scent of manure and a sense of fatalism. More than a decade into the longest war in U.S. history, Afghans remain less convinced of their military’s intentions than the Taliban’s. 2. Karzai agrees to replace two key ministers after no-confidence vote. The cross- border rocket attacks that have plagued villagers in Afghanistan’s northeast have apparently claimed their latest victims in the capital: the country’s two highest security officials. 3. Military adding more electric vehicles to fleet. Electric vehicles are becoming a more common sight on military bases as the Department of Defense adds “road-capable” electric cars such as the Chevy Volt to a fleet of thousands of smaller battery-powered vehicles. 4. Veteran's widow in fight of her life for VA benefits. Army veteran Lester Groff thought his wife, Nancy, would be taken care of after he died. But 3 1/2 years after he passed away, Nancy Groff is homeless. Her life is in limbo as she stays with friends in Mount Penn and waits for the Department of Veterans Affairs to decide whether she'll receive any benefits. 5. Gen. Robert E. Lee's lost orders on display. The war was on, or so it seemed Saturday when three Civil War historians traced events that caused top-secret orders from Gen. Robert E. Lee to land in the hands of his Union counterpart. 6. Newest Coast Guard cutter 'brought to life' in Florida. The Richard Etheridge -- named for a former slave who became captain of a naval station -- is the second of 58 First Response Cutters designed to replace an aging fleet. 7. US warns China against further moves in South China Sea. The Obama administration on Friday warned China against further moves to tighten control over a disputed section of the South China Sea, as tensions rose in the flash point region. 8. Groups lend hand to veterans. Danville Commercial News Two vans were donated by the Disabled American Veterans and 30 pagers were donated by the Champaign Area United States Bowling Congress recently to the Veterans Affairs Illiana Health Care System. In addition, Danville Firefighters Local 429 in conjunction with the Friendly Tavern donated more than $4000 raised during their 14th annual poker run. Also, the VA's Homeless Veteran Program received more than $1500 from the fundraising cornhole tournament in June. New vans. The 12-passenger van and a ... 9. Central Texas veterans face nation's longest wait for VA disability claims. Austin American-Statesman Such service officers, who are mostly county employees and act as veteran advocates, are in counties throughout the state and aid veterans in filing their claims. "The level of frustration is very high ... But local VA officials say that the Waco and Houston offices are simply feeling the same pressures driving the backlog nationally: a sour economy, aging Vietnam and World War II veterans, an influx of younger veterans from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and new rules that make it easier to file claims. "Our employees are ... 10.Biden Vows To Protect Care For Veterans. AP Vice President Joe Biden told a disabled veterans group Saturday that their benefits are safe from automatic defense spending cuts while "he accused members of Congress of playing political 'brinksmanship' with the nation's security." Biden said, "Look, we're going to get through this...but this is a hell of way to do business. ... We owe our military more certainty." He also "said the Obama Administration has increased funding to veterans by 30 percent, and promised to end a massive backlog of disability claims by 2015." Las Vegas Review-Journal Biden promised, "We're going to keep our commitment to American veterans no matter what happens." It also reports on Biden's promises to reduce the veterans' claims backlog, noting that some 880,000 claims are stuck as the VA now deals with some 1 million new claims annually as the list of veterans injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars grows. Las Vegas Sun Veterans who listened to Biden were struck by his personal connection to their issues, which the Sun notes is an unusually positive response to a politician. 11.Missouri Native Sowers Confirmed For VA Position. AP Missouri native Tommy Sowers was confirmed Thursday by the Senate for "a top spot" as the VA's assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs. Sowers served in the Army in Iraq and Kosovo and "recently was an adviser for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. He previously taught at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and at the Missouri University of Science and Technology." 12.Lawmakers Say VA Contracting Rule Squeezing Out Vet-Owned Firms. Federal News Radio House lawmakers' concerns over a VA process that "goes too far" in its efforts "to keep ineligible companies from winning service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) contracts." On Thursday, members of a House VA subcommittee "zeroed in on the requirement that veterans maintain 100 percent control over their companies' decision-making. Legislators said the rule is too strict and discourages companies from participating in the set-aside program." One subcommittee member, Phil Roe of Tennessee, "said he thinks VA should loosen the standard," with "51 percent ownership of a firm...sufficient to prove a veteran controls the firm." 13.New VA Medical Center Set To Open In North Las Vegas.

This dissertation uses depictions of mass transit as points of departure into contextual examinations of three artists who repeatedly used passengers as subjects: Reginald Marsh (1898–1954), Donald Freeman (1908–1978), and Walker Evans (1903–1975). I argue that travel imagery attests to mobility as a common experience—an aspect of American life that viewers would recognize. Through a close examination of representations of mobility, it becomes clear that the motif appealed to these artists because it was simultaneously common and complicated—implicitly moving but explicitly stationary.

DEWEY AND EARL WARREN: THm RISE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY URBAN PROSECUTOR LAWRENCE FLEISCHER* INTRODUCTION The study of the American urban prosecutor, a key political-legal officer who carries the immense power of "prosecutorial discretion," has yet to attract serious historical research. A review of the published literature suggests the first crucial period of development occurred during the Jacksonian period when the office broke free of its traditional administrative role as the adjunct of the court. During this period the local urban prosecutor became an elected official.1 This unmoored the office from the anchor of the judiciary and set it sailing into the realm of politics. Essential- ly, this set the standard throughout the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries of an office beholden to the electorate in the most intimate political sense, and established the office as the keystone of the criminal justice system.
