Britney Spears• Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb,

Mississippi and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears first appeared on national television in 1992 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star on the television series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994. After a brief membership with the pop musical group Innosense, Spears signed a recording contract with Jive Records, releasing her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999. The album established her as a pop icon and "bona fide pop phenomenon", credited for influencing the revival of teen pop in the late 1990s.[1]

• The music video for "...Baby One More Time" and Spears's appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine also established her as an international sex symbol, garnering controversy over the influence of her public image on teenage girls.[

• Spears's personal life began to gain substantial media attention after her marriage to Kevin Federline in 2004. Their marriage ended two years later, resulting in an ongoing custody battle over their two children, born in 2005 and 2006. Spears released her fifth studio album Blackout in 2007. The following year Spears began recording her sixth studio album Circus.

• Spears is ranked as the eighth best-selling female recording artist in the United States according to the Recording Industry Association of America with 31 million certified albums and one of the world's best-selling music artists having sold an estimated 83 million records worldwide. Spears also holds the title to multiple Guinness World Records.





President Bush 'unprepared for war' and regrets false Iraq intelligence

• President Bush has acknowledged that he was “unprepared for war” when he arrived in the White House at the start of an administration that would largely be defined by terror attacks at home and military conflict abroad.

• In an interview broadcast last night Mr Bush said that he had not campaigned for the presidency on the basis that he anticipated handling an attack, adding: “One of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen.”

• With less than two months left in office Mr Bush is spending much of his time contemplating his place in history, declaring that his “biggest regret” were the mistaken claims in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq about Saddam Hussein possessing weapons of mass destruction.



• “I wish the intelligence had been different,” he said, before pointing out that he had not been alone in making allegations that turned out to be false. “A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein.

• “It wasn’t just people in my Administration. A lot of members in Congress, prior to my arrival in Washington, during the debate on Iraq, a lot of leaders of nations around the world were all looking at the same intelligence.”

• Asked whether he would have still ordered an invasion knowing that Saddam had no such weapons, the President declined to speculate, saying: “That is a do-over that I can’t do.”

• He also listed the failure to pass immigration reform or maintain the spirit of unity that characterised America after 9/11 as other major regrets. But for all the disappointment that has left Mr Bush as one of the most unpopular presidents on record, he hopes to be remembered as a man who “didn’t sell his soul for politics”. He said: “The thing that’s important for me is to get home and look in that mirror and say, ‘I did not compromise my principles’. And I didn’t. I made tough calls. And some presidencies have got a lot of tough decisions to make.”

• Claiming to have achieved reforms in policy areas like education and international HIV/Aids relief, Mr Bush said that his Administration had responded promptly to the economic crisis. “When you have the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Fed say, ‘If we don’t act boldly, we could be in a depression greater than the Great Depression,’ that’s an ‘uh-oh’ moment,” he said.

The 1st Continental Congress The “Shot heard Round the World”



The Adams Family

• By the fall of 1774 the colonists had to do something about their problem with England. Cousins John and Samuel were part of the debate.

• Samuel Adams was the rebel who organized the Boston Tea Party, and John had defended the British troops who took part in the Boston Massacre.

• Both thought that colonial leaders needed to respond to British acts. They agree to represent Massachusetts at a colonial assembly taking place in Philadelphia.





1st Continental Congress

• In Sept. 1774 the 1st Continental Congress met in Philadelphia.

• The Congress had 56 colonial delegates.

• Georgia was the only colony that did not send representatives.

• The delegates debated the best way to respond to the crisis taking place in Boston.



Fork in the Road

• John Dickinson thought that the colonists should make peace with Great Britain.

• Patrick Henry said there was no way to avoid a fight. “arms [weapons] are a resource to which we shall be forced,” he declared.





Agreement• In the end, the delegates

reached a compromise. They recommended that colonists continue to boycott British goods, but also warn colonial militias to be prepared to fight.

• Meanwhile, they assembled a list of 10 resolutions to present to King George III.

• This Declaration of Rights listed freedoms that the delegates believe colonists should possess. They included the right to “life, liberty, and property.” The delegates agreed to meet in May 1775 if the king did not agree.



Minutemen

• Tensions remained high in Boston. Local militia members began calling themselves minutemen, as they were ready to fight on a minute’s notice.

• In April 1775 British General Thomas Gage decided to take away the minutemen’s weapons and ammunition. These weapons were stored in Concord, a small town about twenty miles west of Boston.



Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

• The Sons of Liberty learned of the British plan. On the evening of April 18, 1775, spies brought news to Paul Revere and William Dawes, British were heading toward Concord.

• The two men raced on their horses through the countryside, warning minutemen that the British were coming!





Shot Heard Around the World

• On the morning of April 19,1775 fewer than 70 minutemen gathered at the Lexington village green, near Concord where they met a larger British force.

• No one knows who fired the 1st shot “the shot heard around the world” but once the soldiers heard it the fight began.

• The battle ended in minutes, when the smoke cleared, the badly outnumbered colonists suffered 8 dead and 10 wounded.



Retreat!!

• The British moved on to Concord and found very few weapons.

• In anger the British set fire to a few buildings.

• In response the minutemen charged the British who quickly began to retreat back to Boston.



Redcoats and Guerrilla Warfare

• As the British retreated the minutemen fired upon them from behind trees and buildings.

• The bright red British uniforms made perfect targets. The colonists called them Redcoats because of these uniforms.

• By the time the British reached Boston they had more than 250 casualties.





Response to Lexington/Concord

• Word of the fighting at Lexington and Concord spread.

• Many people responded with shock and anger.

How would you react if this had happened in your town?
