U.S., World Roundup
Egyptian presidential
election to rid nation of
decades of dictatorship
CAIRO (AP) — Determined to end
decades of authoritarian rule, millions of
Egyptians waited patiently in long lines
outside polling stations across the nation
on Wednesday to freely choose their first
president since last year’s ouster of longtime
ruler and close U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak.
“I can die in a matter of months, so I
came for my children, so they can live,” a
tearful Medhat Ibrahim, 58, who suffers
from cancer, said as he waited to vote in a
poor district south of Cairo. “We want to
live better, like human beings.”
Thirteen candidates, who include
Islamists, liberals and Mubarak regime figures,
are contesting the election. No outright
winner is expected to emerge from the twoday
vote starting Wednesday. So, a runoff
between the two top finishers will be held
June 16-17. The winner will be announced
on June 21.
“It’s a miracle,” said Selwa Abdel-Malik,
a 60-year-old Christian from the Mediterranean
port city of Alexandria as she was
about to vote. “And it’s a beautiful feeling
too.”
For most of his 29-year rule, Mubarak —
like his predecessors — ran unopposed in
yes-or-no referendums. Rampant fraud guaranteed
ruling party victories in parliamentary
elections. Even when, in 2005, Mubarak
let challengers oppose him in elections, he
ended up not only trouncing his liberal rival
but jailing him.
Did Morgan Stanley
selectively inform clients
ahead of Facebook IPO?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators are
examining whether Morgan Stanley, the
investment bank that shepherded Facebook
through its highly publicized stock offering
last week, selectively informed clients of an
analyst’s negative report about the company
before the stock started trading.
Rick Ketchum, the head of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, the selfpolicing
body for the securities industry,
said Tuesday that the question is “a matter
of regulatory concern” for his organization
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The top securities regulator for Massachusetts,
William Galvin, said he had subpoenaed
Morgan Stanley. Galvin said his
office is investigating whether Morgan Stanley
divulged to only some clients that one of
its analysts had cut his revenue estimates for
Facebook before the stock hit the market on
Friday.

The bank said late Tuesday that it “followed
the same procedures for the Facebook
offering that it follows for all IPOs,”
referring to initial public offerings of stock.
It said that its procedures complied with
regulations.
The questions about the role played by
Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for the
deal, add to the confusion surrounding Facebook’s
IPO. In the most hotly anticipated
stock debut in years, the offering raised $16
billion for the social networking company,
valuing it at $104 billion.
After deal on probes, Iran
seeks concessions from
world powers in talks
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iran is demanding
that world powers set specific timetables
and goals in talks Wednesday over Tehran’s
nuclear program, a senior Iranian government
official said before a second round of
negotiations.
The push for milestones by Iran reflects
apparent efforts to force concessions from
the West on sanctions in exchange for gradually
addressing international concerns over
the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions.
Tehran hopes to leave Baghdad with a
clear framework for future talks and potential
dealmaking, the official said. Western
diplomats have voiced similar concerns,
although few believe the discussions in
Baghdad will yield breakthroughs in the
showdowns over Iran’s nuclear program.
The U.S. and allies fear Iran could use its
nuclear expertise to build atomic weapons.
Iran claims it only seeks nuclear reactors for
energy and research.
Senator: Secret Service
prostitute scandal broader
than originally believed
WASHINGTON (AP) — Several small
groups of Secret Service employees separately
visited clubs, bars and brothels in
Colombia prior to a visit by President
Barack Obama last month and engaged in
reckless, “morally repugnant” behavior, Sen.
Susan Collins says.
She says the employees’ actions during
the stunning prostitution scandal could have
provided a foreign intelligence service, drug
cartels or other criminals with opportunities
for blackmail or coercion that could have
threatened the president’s safety.
In remarks prepared for the first congressional
hearing on the matter Wednesday,
Collins, R-Maine, also challenged early
assurances that the scandal in Colombia
appeared to be an isolated incident.

Rockcreek Rollers club’s project:
Hand sanitizers at the 4-H Fair
The Rockcreek Rollers
4-H Club was recently
awarded a $482 Youth As
Resources grant to complete
a community service project,
the installation of antibacterial
dispensers at the 4-H
Park. The group, under the
direction of Jodie Bales, will
use the grant to purchase the
supplies to build sanitation
stations throughout the fairgrounds.
Signs will also be
put up, directing individuals
to the stations during the fair
and other 4-H Association
events.
Brent Bales is the youth
project leader.
The stations will be distributed
around the animal
barns and food booths. The
group hopes to bring awareness
to and improve cleanliness
and personal hygiene
for both 4-H participants
and fairgoers.
