Excerpt from Regional Wholesale Distribution Facilities for Blair County, Pennsylvania To accommodate the 21 wholesalers needing new facilities, the following buildings are suggested: Two multiple-occupancy buildings containing 39 units, with square feet of first floor space for 10 wholesale firms, and 10 single-occupancy buildings containing square feet of first floor space for three grocery wholesalers, one produce wholesaler, two frozen food wholesalers, and four dairy firms. In addition, 30 acres of land are provided for development of a food chain distribution warehouse. Space is also provided in the distribution center for a central energy plant for the heating and refrigeration needs of firms located here. These facilities, with space for future expansion and for other wholesalers and allied industries that may wish to locate in the center in the future, would require about 150 acres of land. Three sites were evaluated: Watts Farm, Fort Fetter, and Barnhart. Advantages and disadvantages of each are outlined.

Since its creation in 1963, United States Southern Command has been led by 30 senior officers representing all four of the armed forces. None has undertaken his leadership responsibilities with the cultural sensitivity and creativity demonstrated by Admiral Jim Stavridis during his tenure in command. Breaking with tradition, Admiral Stavridis discarded the customary military model as he organized the Southern Command Headquarters. In its place he created an organization designed not to subdue adversaries, but instead to build durable and enduring partnerships with friends. His observation that it is the business of Southern Command to launch "ideas not missiles" into the command's area of responsibility gained strategic resonance throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America, and at the highest levels in Washington, DC.

In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

This cultural exploration offers an unparalleled presentation of Pennsylvania’s ritual healing traditions known as powwowing or Braucherei in Pennsylvania Dutch, through original primary source materials, including manuscripts, ritual objects, and books—most of which have never before been available to English-speaking readers. Although methods and procedures have varied considerably over three centuries of ritual practice within the Pennsylvania Dutch cultural region, the outcomes and experiences surrounding this tradition have woven a rich tapestry of cultural narratives that highlight the integration of ritual into all aspects of life, as well as provide insight into the challenges, conflicts, growth, and development of a distinct Pennsylvania Dutch folk culture.
