Stories of women in World War II : we can do it!
\"More than 75 million people fought in World War II - nearly all of them men. Who was going to produce the weapons and the food, and do countless other vital jobs? The answer was women. Millions stepped forward to take on work they had rarely done before, such as fighting fires, ploughing fields and cracking codes. These are the stories of four trailblazers who achieved amazing things in difficult circumstances: Anne-Marie Walters became a secret agent in constant danger of being captured, working behind enemy lines in France. A painting of Ruby Loftus operating machinery became an iconic image of women's contribution to the war effort. By the time Nancy Love was in her early twenties, she was one of America's leading woman pilots. When \"Red\" Harrington and her fellow nurses were captured by the Japanese, they set up a hospital to look after the thousands of other prisoners of war. Many of the rights women have today are down to their actions. They helped change society's image of women forever.\"--Provided by publisher.

Erroll Flynn, eat your heart out: Amateur fencers display their best at Cherry Blossom competition in College Park
Saturday was a good day for [Anne-Marie Walters], who lives in Mitchellville and is a physical education teacher at a Montessori school in Prince George's County. She placed third among women in foil, the lightest of the three types of swords in fencing with a thin rectangular blade. Fencers use three types of swords -- the foil, epee and saber -- to earn points based on which part of the opponent's body they touch with the rubber tip. Different swords allow fencers to earn points by touching different parts of the body. Walters has been fencing since she was in college in the mid- 1970s in Brooklyn, N.Y. She took a 13-year hiatus from the sport until 2004, while she was raising children. When she rejoined the sport three years ago, she emerged as the second-ranked fencer nationally and fifth in the world in veteran foil for women over 50.

TARAVELLA RETIRES JERSEY OF FORMER PLAYER WHO DIED IN 2008
\"I can't speak enough about what the school did for him,\" said Michael Taylor, a friend of the [Paul Lazarowitz] family for years. \"The reason that people loved him so much was because he had a heart of gold. He was a good football player who could knock the stuffing out of a player, but at the same time, he was really nice to everybody.\" Fort Lauderdale's Anne Marie Walters garnered the silver medal at this year's Veterans World Fencing Championships in Porec, Croatia. \"I was volunteering at a YMCA in Maryland, and I decided to enter a competition,\" Walters said. \"I did so well that I decided to return to the sport. I was told that there was a veterans' team and that I could make it. I didn't know what to expect, so I've been quite happy with what I've been able to do.\"

The politics of legal integration in the European Union
It is argued that one cannot reject neorationalist accounts of European legal integration merely by observing that the Court of Justice often makes decisions that powerful member governments protest but subsequently accept. This behavior is the preferred strategy of governments where the short-run domestic costs of accepting the adverse decision are outweighed by the broader benefits the country derives from trade liberalization in Europe. In other circumstances, national governments should be less likely to acquiesce in adverse ECJ decisions - when the country gains little from trade liberalization or when the court's ruling harms a large segment of the domestic economy. The Court of Justice likely will rule against governments in cases where it expects the government to accept the decision, and the incentive for the court to so act increase when the government is from a powerful member state.

Gunboat's arrival celebrated in Prescott last Thursday
\"Having it here provides a tangible way to connect the fort with the river in a way that has not been done before. It will provide new opportunities for Canadians to discover and enjoy the real and inspiring history of Prescott and of Canada,\" said Anne-Marie Johnson, Manager of Fort Wellington. \"Tomorrow the boat will be lowered into its place at the centre of the new visitors centre. In coming weeks the new visitor centre will go up around it. I am so looking forward to seeing it all pulled together.\" \"Parks Canada did not want to move it so they built the exhibit next to the park,\" said [Walter Zacharchuk]. \"This was the only site that had an historic and natural exhibit. There it sat since 1967 until now.\" \"It's a great day for Prescott,\" said [Brent Todd]. \"It's a great addition to our visitors centre which will be opening next year.\"
