WASHINGTON  The Pentagon says U.S. Central Command and the Jordanian Armed 
Forces are co-hosting Mideast defense chiefs in Jordan over the next few 
days to discuss the region's security environment.The chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, is attending.The meeting, planned 
since June, comes as the U.S. and other nations ponder what action 
to take, if any, in the wake of reports that the Syrian 
government has used chemical weapons in its civil war. Although Syria denies 
such claims, they are certain to be a leading topic for the 
gathering.A Defense Department spokesman, George Little, says the exchange 
is designed in part to increase the collective understanding of the impact 
of regional conflicts on nations.The conference is set for Sunday to Tuesday.
ve Boone and other past mascots 
a retirement ceremony in the upcoming academic year.The image of Denver 
Boone was originally designed by a Walt Disney artist and named by 
a UD student back in 1968 .The cartoony figure, which sports a 
scruffy beard and a raccoon skin cap, is reminiscent of the Daniel 
Boone character from the 1950s TV show based on the real-life pioneer.Boone 
was a legend of early American history and the archetypal hero of 
the American Western Frontier.Later, his image and legend fell victim to 
revisionist history as he became associated with the forceful displacement 
of Native Americans from their land.So how closely linked are Denver Boone 
and Daniel Boone?Any association of the Denver Boone caricature with America's 
pioneer hero, Daniel Boone, is misguided, said Randell Jones, historian 
and author of the book In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone.Mythology and 
Fess Parker aside, it is well documented that Daniel Boone never wore 
a coonskin cap. Neither did he wear a beard. Moreover, any exploits 
by him west of Missouri are speculative at best.
