The Mercury News'
Dean Takahashi reports
that the first Xbox 360 CPUs manufactured on the 65nm process are now on ships
in the Pacific bound for North America. Should the consoles, which are made in
China, arrive soon, then they could be on retail shelves sometime this fall.
Last month, Takahashi reported that the
65nm Xbox 360 chips would come in a revised hardware version that Microsoft has
coded "Falcon." The new chips are not only smaller and roughly 50 percent
cheaper to produce than their 90nm counterpart, but they are also cooler – and
presumably less prone to the
Red Ring of Death defect.
Those expecting the 65nm die shrink to affect the two main
chips inside the Xbox 360 will be disappointed to learn that only the console's
main processor will be the manufactured on the new process.
"Falcon is the name for the board that houses the
65-nanometer microprocessor from IBM," wrote Takahashi. "The board does not
include a 65-nanometer version of the ATI graphics chip for the Xbox 360. That
version of the graphics chip is coming later."
The new 65nm chip from IBM will work with both the current
90nm and the future 65nm iteration of the 65nm ATI GPU, according to Takahashi.
Oddly enough, it appears as though the main culprit behind
the Xbox 360 reliability woes may be linked to the ATI GPU rather than the IBM
CPU. As part of a recent fix to all 90nm-based consoles, Microsoft has been
adding additional cooling measures into the Xbox 360. Found first in a repaired
European Xbox 360 was a new heatsink with a
heatpipe that leads to a secondary "daughter" heatsink helps to further
cool the GPU.
The latest Xbox 360 Premium consoles with the HDMI-enabled "Zephyr"
motherboard also features
the extra heatsinks, providing further evidence that an overheating GPU is
the main cause behind the Red Ring of Death.

I got mine back last week.. we both got our 360's 2 yrs ago within a month of each other... and both of them got RROD's within 2 weeks apart two yrs later !Also the systems run MUCH quieter ! The DVD Drive sound is now virtually unheard as well !</quoteToo bad they didn't fix the loud fan noise as well. I just noticed that the fan is also on even though the console is off if you're charging a controller through the Play and Charge kit.

From staff reports
LEWISTOWN - A 19-year-old was arrested and charged with two felonies Thursday after the Mifflin County Junior High and High schools were burglarized and a firearm was stolen from a vehicle on West Cedar Lane and Logan Boulevard, Mifflin County Regional Police report.
Police said Calin Pierce, of Lewistown, was charged with felony criminal trespass and felony theft of a firearm after police determined he broke windows at Mifflin County High and Junior High schools and later stole a firearm from a parked car on a neighboring street.

According to the report, on the morning of April 24, officers were dispatched to the junior high school for a reported burglary and glass shattered in the school hallways. Officers walked the exterior of the building and saw numerous broken windows, the report states.
Police said on April 24 they also received a call from the principal at the high school reporting someone smashed a classroom window on the front of the building overnight.
Surveillance images from the school showed a visibly intoxicated white male carrying a metal rod, which he used to smash the windows, walking along the building from the junior high school at around 10:30 the previous night, police said.
As police were on scene at the schools, they received two reports of items stolen overnight from vehicles on West Cedar Lane and Logan Boulevard. Police said a firearm and keys were taken from one vehicle, and the firearm was later recovered at the rear of Fastenal, across the street from where it was taken, along with a blue BMX bike stolen from another property.
Police said in the second incident, the driver's window of a Mazda truck was broken with a sewer cap.
Two additional reports were later filed-one on Eight Street and one on Parcheytown Road-in which vehicle windows were smashed and items were removed from parked cars.
Police said a representative of the Embassy Fair was shown pictures of the suspect. The representative believed it was the same intoxicated person who was removed from the carnival when he threw his phone at the representative and said "Calin Pierce" after the man asked him his name.
On April 25, Mifflin County Probation also identified the man in the surveillance video as Pierce.
Police said they interviewed Pierce on April 29, and Pierce agreed it was him in the video but said he didn't remember being at the school, but he remembers being chased out of the fair by fire police.
The report states Pierce contacted police on April 30 because he wanted to get his cell phone back. According to the report, Pierce stated he was at Kish Park on April 23 and he drank vodka and took Xanax pills.
Police said Pierce stated he blacked out but he remembers being on Parcheytown Road and breaking a car window, and he stated again he believed the person in the school's video was him.
According to the report, damage for the combined incidents totals around $5,000.
Police said Pierce was arraigned at Magisterial District Judge Aaron Gingrich's office with bail being set at $10,000. Police said Pierce was placed in the Mifflin County Correctional Facility on a probation detainer.

Monday, January 14, 2013
Unbelievably to me it was 32 years ago that I began writing this column. It was exciting then. Still is. An initial piece was about the joy of the kind of job Id always dreamed of and how much I was looking forward to settling into our new hometown (after 22 previous moves) and getting to know Summerville and her people. It had been 25 years since Id had a job outside the home and I was definitely a very senior cub reporter.
Since then Ive fallen in love with Summerville and written about her leaders, citizens, history and homes. Recipes have been a popular part of my columns and many of them have come from you. Ive written naturally about my children and grands as well as about old friends and new. Ive also ruefully described personal goofs ranging from failed recipes such as the one that resulted in a dip that exploded just before a party and the time I jumped into the wrong red truck in a mall parking lot. I was well into a tale of a disappointing sales experience before I realized that the man grinning at me from behind the wheel was not my husband. Jim was grinning at me too, but from the adjoining vehicle. When I started this column it was called Late Bloomer, a most appropriate title as I was then in my mid forties.
But I remembered a favorite college English professor who always encouraged any creative spark by urging me to just start with an inkling! And so I renamed these weekly 500 or so words with a new heading which I thought was also a good semi pun dealing with printers ink. With a New Year beginning its a good time for me to reflect on the past, count my blessings which most definitely includes felicitations those of you who continue to read and encourage me and start with an inkling of what 2013 might bring.
The first time I wrote about my daughter Cathy she was a freshman at The College of Charleston where she now works in development. Son David had just graduated from Summerville High and was off to Clemson. He now practices architecture. Jimmy, our special needs son, was adjusting to life at the excellent Coastal Center where he still thrives, being nurtured and challenged and continues to enjoy as much jazz as possible. His twin, Mary Clare, was in middle school and just taking up the saxophone. Now she teaches music by day and plays jazz sax in several venues.
Jim had just retired after 25 Air Force years and gone to work in civilian aviation. And I had just retired from being a full time wife and mom to become a full time working wife and mother. Jim and I are now retired retired mostly but I still get to be a columnist and we both stay active with the people and things we love, beginning with our six grands ranging from 19 to four.
This particular column was inspired on Christmas Eve when we were given a bottle of red wine called inkling. It was a gift of Kathy Goebel our sons mother in law. David picked it out. I just couldnt resist, he told us.
And I couldnt resist reading the label. It touts the contents as a work of art or an inkblot test (that) reveals itself in different ways to different people Thats not a bad goal for me for 2013 even if it does come from the back of a bottle of California Cabernet Sauvignon. Webster refers to inklings as hints. I think theres a bit more to it

When the owner of Acropolis on Elmwood Avenue wanted to expand his business, neighbors voiced concerns about noise levels at the restaurant, and last year the Common Council responded, legislating restrictions.
Those restrictions were thrown out in court, and owner Paul Tsouflidis is now seeking a live music license from the city.
"Everybody has a music license, so I should have one too," Tsouflidis said.
A reprise of the 2011-12 debate over the transformation of an Elmwood Village staple is expected on Feb. 20, when Tsouflidis will go to the city Zoning Board of Appeals to seek a license that will allow him to host karaoke and DJs who can use microphones.
"I can't do any of that with the music license I have," he said.
Alma Brown, who lives on Ashland Avenue behind the restaurant, said she expects neighbors to show up at the hearing.
"There's no reason to grant a variance for this," Brown said. "It's been made clear by homeowners and people right in the neighborhood it's not wanted."
Brown said she wants the restaurant to succeed, but "they don't have to be open until 2, 3 in the morning playing live music."
Acropolis, at 708 Elmwood Ave., is near Cecelia's and Blue Monk, which feature DJs and live music, and should be afforded the same opportunity, Tsouflidis said.
Only recorded music, not live music, is allowed in the district, which is why Tsouflidis must seek a variance from the Zoning Board.
The restaurant is too small to host a live band, but Tsouflidis would like the opportunity to have small ensembles play during brunch, he said.
John Higgins, owner of Elmwood Pet Supplies next door, said he is concerned that allowing live music at Acropolis would change the character of the neighborhood, which has made strides and become "more adult" since it was a strip of bars years ago.
"The nightclub thing seemed like a step in the wrong direction," he said.
Higgins' shop closes long before much of the live music would start at Acropolis, but Higgins said his upstairs tenants have moved out because of the noise next door.
"I don't want any ill will," he said. "I wish him success, just quiet success."
Tsouflidis has rejected the characterization that he is trying to change his restaurant, which has a downstairs bar, into a nightclub. He noted that other establishments nearby are considered restaurants and have live music, and that 80 percent of his business is in food sales, not drinks.
Tsouflidis had built a bar on the second floor, but that was prohibited by the Council and he ripped it out. He would like to install a service bar, he said, in order to serve second-floor diners. Getting martinis up 22 stairs isn't easy for the servers, he said.
Delaware Council Member Michael J. LoCurto said Tsouflidis in the past has said one thing and done another, and in 2011 made changes to the restaurant before city approvals were granted.
"The amount of complaints we got from the Acropolis that summer were exponentially more than what we've gotten for the Blue Monk or Cecelia's," LoCurto said.
The Council had imposed nine restrictions, such as a prohibition on outdoor music and a limit on the number of seats upstairs.
The restrictions were "annulled, vacated and set aside" in State Supreme Court. The city has filed a notice that it would appeal, but has not yet filed the actual appeal.
Tsouflidis also is planning to open another location in Orchard Park or Hamburg, he said. He is deciding on a location and plans to be open in six to 15 months, depending on whether he uses an existing building or builds a new one.

Rain came – about 3 drops per square inch on the back path – now blown away! I have been pondering what I might have been doing since my post on Friday! All I can find for Friday was ironing, cooking and watering! Saturday we decided not to go out as planned and we spent the morning sorting route, timetable and train tickets for OH to visit Auntie in hospital in Northampton next weekend – and possibly see his older brother too (well overdue). In the afternoon, it was gardening as usual.
On Sunday, after morning service and soup lunch, we went to Threave again, with the usual hot chocolate at Gardenwise on the way. We went because we had a meal booked in the evening. After much debate, we decided to go round the Gardens again instead of down to the riverbank to the Ospreys. We made the right decision as we found out later, in conversation with the Events Manager: Black 80 (formerly of Glaslyn) is still alone! A female tried to join him on the nest a few weeks ago, but he chased her off, and is apparently waiting for his unringed partner of 4 years to return! We took the big scooter, so we could get around more of the garden, and found some real treasures – including seeing a Goldcrest, which I recognised because of seeing them at LG last year (sorry no photo). Dumfries and Galloway was holding a "Flavour Taster" weekend, featuring local produce, and the event we chose to go to was a Tapas Menu put on by a very good (but inaccessible to me) Dumfries restaurant and outside caterer, at Threave visitor centre tea-room. It was beautifully cooked and presented, and tasted excellent – as well as charging a sensible price.
Alicat – I hope you will return to the GP – he should by now have a letter from the hospital correcting his original diagnosis.
I am now going into the garden to water all my protected plants – this will be last night's watering late combined with today's early – hoping to avoid later rain, which I think will inevitably reach us some time this afternoon, according to my barometer.
Hi all.Thought I would show you four baby Goshawks in The New Forest. Cam is not at a very good position this year though.
ANNETTE What a nightmare for those tourists. We didn't watch "Planet Earth" as I hate to see anything killed. I know it is necessary in order that others may eat, but I don't want to watch it.
Glad there was a happy reunion between neighbour and Lab. I still have the shivers when I remember Harvey going missing from our garden when he was just a few months old - our milkman hadn't closed the gate after him. I banged on neighbours door, she put children in her car and went one way while I went the other. She found him in the front garden of a house very near the main road which lead to the Heathrow roundabout. This was in 1980 and my neighbour was probably about 30. OH met her husband many years ago at a dining in night and we learned that our old neighbour had Motor Neurone Disease.
Love the little Goshawks, SANDRA.
Sandra – loved the four little bobble-heads! Has it dried out yet, down your way?
Rain seems to be intermittent light showers now – allegedly sunny spells tomorrow – we shall see …
OG I'll try the L'derry Coach again tomorrow. Havn't put the Galloway pic on my laptop yet but may get that done too. Don't get too excited, though, as the vis. across the North Channel is clearer on bright winter days!
Great excitement this evening (well, I was excited, OH not impressed). We had a male bullfinch in the garden, eating buds and flowers off a Malus tree. This is the first time I've seen one in this area. I do hope he'll reappear. We have much chaffinch, greenfinch and goldfinch activity, also great, blue and the occasional coaltits. Can't keep the sunflower hearts feeder filled.
Evening all: Will catch up tomorrow - feeling a bit "virusy" and going to hide out with a book.
Annette: Feel better!!! Pop some vitamin C and take good care of yourself. Lots of rest! There's a lot of flu in California right now.
Off to bed - but thanks Diane for that - it's that tiresome state where I'm not sick enough to stay in bed or even lay down, but poopy enough not to get a lot of things done! Grrrr.
Good Morning. Sunny start to the skies here and 'the best day this week' is promised on the weather front - it should be warming up a little again too. Last night was so cold we had the heating on and I also sat watching TV with a blanket over my knees, as if its winter. Going shopping today & then accompanying my OH to the Driving Range, as he has now applied to a local Golf Club so needs to get some practice in. Might call in on relatives, too.
Annette: Sorry to hear that you are feeling 'grotty' as we used to say. I know what you mean, when you are not ill enough to take to your bed but get nothing done and can't even concentrate on reading something, is a rotten state of affairs. Hope that its short lived.
Have been trying to read through all thats been written whilst I was away last week - see that I missed Joans birthday so belated Good Wishes to you, Joan. Have enjoyed everyones pictures, especially the lovely Blue Tit. Sorry to hear that you have such a rotten time on the health front, NiteOwl - my thoughts are with you.
Here are a couple more pics from our hols - no birds, I'm afraid, although we did see all kinds of sea and estuary birds, they were too far away for my camera lens as I only have a snappy digital camera. Buzz enjoyed himself enormously, here he is on Roscolyn Beach on the Isle of Anglesey - as its out of season, there were so few people there that there was plenty of room in the tiny car park which is not the usual state of affairs there:
~ ~ very wet from being in the cold water, and raring to go - "where's my stick, Dad?"
there were other dogs there, but he just wanted to chew his stick and get most of the sand from the beach onto his coat and into our car....
Have a Good Day Today, All.
ps. PATRICIA - so glad for you that you saw a Bullfinch in the garden. Its always a treat to catch sight of something you don't usually have on your feeders.
Welcome back Trish and thank you for travel report.
Welcome back Linda. Great Smiles. EDIT Thanks for holiday pics - we've nearly met today.
Sorry Heather & Brenda for getting you muddled. Sometimes lately I think I have not been quite "with it". Will try harder.
Dibnlib - Love the carvings.
Annette - Hope your virus is minor.
A Fjordland penguin has strayed from its home in New Zealand. She was found 3,000 km from home at Carpenter Rocks near Mount Gambier. She had lost half her body weight. Brought to Adelaide for emergency medical care, she is recovering on Torrens Island near Port Adelaide. Today's report says she is eating and had tried to peck her handlers. Negotiations are under way with New Zealand authorities on her return to NZ.Two juvenile birds made it to SA in 2010 but died within 24 hours. The maximum range of large penguins was normally 300km. There are believed to be only 3000 breeding pairs of the Fiordland penguin left in the wild, and all of them are located on New Zealand's south island.
Hi AQ - amazing stories about the penguins. They are so little that you can't imagine them managing the huge distances.
Hope you are continuing to become more mobile - see that you managed a trip to the Grocery and are now pottering out to the garden to feed your birds.
Linda - They think the penguin was swept here by a strong current. Still incredible to survive.
How is your weather there, AQ?

But just nine months after filing for legal separation from former Lost star Doug Hutchison, 54, it seems the Big Brother star, 19, is ready to settle back into married life.
"She got a taste of being single when she went to the Big Brother house in the U.K.," her mom and manager Krista Keller tells PEOPLE. "She did date, but she found out that she really, really loves Doug and he's the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with."
The controversial couple shocked the nation when at 16-years-old, Stodden wed Hutchison, who is 35 years her senior.
They separated after just two-and-a-half years of marriage.
"She jumped into a marriage, but she's come full circle and decided she made the right choice the first time," says Keller. "She realized what a wonderful man she really had."
The two are now planning to renew their vows later this year.

PADUCAH, Ky. — Kentucky transportation officials are warning people not to try to cross the U.S. 45 bridge between Paducah and Brookport, Illinois and saying anyone who does may be cited for trespassing.
The bridge has been closed since July 8 to allow for construction of an underpass to connect two sections of the Greenway Trail in Paducah.
Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd told The Paducah Sun anyone walking, hiking, biking, or involved in other unauthorized activity on the bridge while it is closed can be issued a citation by law enforcement. Local police will monitor activity at the bridge and issue citations if necessary.
The Brookport bridge is scheduled to reopen around July 28, following the completion of the Greenway Trail project.

5 Pieces of Advice Every High School Graduate Should Get
Holy poop, you're only a few months away from being done with the horrifying bullshit of high school forever! You've entered the final semester, the home stretch, the ninth inning, the whatever happens at the end of a soccer game. Can you feel that? That's the stank breath of freedom, steaming up the back of your neck like a morose stalker who finally got the balls to enter your house. Just watching you sleep from inches away, ready to rub his sweaty dick all over your cheek. What, you thought it was going to be more like a white knight riding in with a glass slipper? Ha! That's cute.
Don't get me wrong: Freedom can be a glistening savior, but not unless you prepare for it. Make it a bed. Wash the sheets. Cook it dinner. And if you're saying, "Why is he telling me this now? I don't graduate until spring!" then the odds are you're already behind the curve. So listen up, you don't have much time ...
#5. Talk to Your Parents About Bills
My first apartment was a piece of shit, and in all likelihood yours will be, too. It was a one-bedroom addition to someone's house, and you could hear them fucking pretty much every night of the week. They were in their late 60s. And they smelled like beef broth. The rent was cheap, but it had to be, because I worked a fast food job, talking about how famous I was going to be one day while mopping up piss from the men's shitter.
Regular readers know that I write a lot about the habits you develop when spending your life as a poor person, but maybe the worst is that I entered the adult world knowing nothing about finances beyond "hand man money -- man gives you beer." I didn't have a bank account, so all of my money ended up in a cookie jar on top of my fridge, where any one of my drug addict friends could have easily fucked me blind.
"Put it back, goddammit! And stop eating my heroin!"
I had no idea what I was doing. For all I knew, the electric bill could have been $5 or $500. I had never grocery shopped for myself, so the first week on my own, I stocked my fridge with $200 worth of shit, and I didn't even get through $70 of it before the rest went bad. Who do I talk to about disposing of my garbage? How much does that cost? If I put some particularly nasty shit in there one week, do I have to tip them like a waiter? Wait, why am I getting a gas bill when I didn't use any the whole summer? Completely clueless.
The easiest way around this was what I was too dumb to do back then: Ask your parents (or any available, experienced adult who isn't a complete fuckup -- another one of my hurdles) if you can sit in when they figure out their bills and budget. Even if they're well-off enough that they can just start writing checks for whatever is due, you'll learn tons. At the very least, you'll get a ballpark idea of the types of numbers you'll be seeing when your own bills start coming in, and that is invaluable. Do they have a miscellaneous section on their budget? Ask about it. What percent of their income goes into savings versus checking? How much is appropriate to tip your statue-polishing staff?
Jack shit, from the looks of the moss they keep leaving.
The most important thing I wish I had known about back then is timing. Most of my bills now are either auto-deducted from my bank account or paid instantly online. But there are a few oddball things that still require me to write out a physical check. Knowing where their office is located can save you some service interruptions and late fees. For instance, you'd think that my trash pickup would be based in Illinois, since that's where I fucking live. But it's not ... it's in Kentucky, because of course it is. Sending them a check one day before the bill is due results in a late payment because it simply won't make it there in time, and that means my trash gets to sit in my yard and stink up the neighborhood for another week.
Even if the company offers automatic or electronic payments, sometimes you just don't want to use that service in the first place because you have more control when you physically pay them. Let's face it -- when you first start out, many of you are going to be as broke as a kicked dick, and sometimes it's just better to let a bill lapse for a few days than for them to take money out of your account and overdraw you ... or at the very least, leave you with six bucks to last the rest of the week.
Man, the strippers are going to be so pissed off this week.
#4. Don't Coast
It's so tempting to coast through your last semester (or last year, or all) of high school, especially if you've racked up enough credits that failing a few classes won't matter. The problem with coasting isn't about work ethics or a moral obligation to education. It's about the fact that if you let your mind do half-assed work for nine months, it trains itself to continue operating that way even after you graduate. As odd as this sounds, it's actually easier to go through that last year of high school working at your full potential so that upon graduating, you'll be taking a side step into work or college. It's so much easier to maintain momentum than try to sprint in order to catch up.
Yes, there are the obvious examples of why you'd want to do your best: good placement test scores for college, honors look great on a resume, teachers only fuck smart students ... but in my experience, it's all about making sure you don't train yourself to slack off before diving into a world that has a constant hard-on for squashing lazy, unprepared people. The cheap shortcuts that worked at this level won't work at the next one.
Evolutionary correction in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
But all that aside, you could very easily find yourself in the situation I was in. I went into my last two years of school just shy of a 4.0 GPA. I had it all locked up -- all I had to do was take some basic bullshit, and I was home free. Instead of busting ass and graduating early, I took only what I needed to get by and fucked off for two years. The last week of school, I needed to pass three specific classes in order to graduate, but I had dicked around so much that I had no clue what was going on. And to make a long story short, I had to kidnap the president's daughter and ransom her for my diploma.
#3. Celebrate Your Graduation, Then Immediately Move On
Look, we adults get it -- you've been in school literally your entire lives. You've been putting up with stupid bullshit from both your peers and seemingly clueless adults since you were old enough to retain information. You've withstood teachers being assholes, students being pricks, bullies giving you wedgies, and crushes destroying you with rejection, on top of years of learning the most useless bullshit you will ever be told in your life. You deserve a breather before diving into the real world. Maybe just a couple of months over the summer to get it all out of your system. We get that, and we totally agree.
But do it quick and then get your fucking ass to work.
We don't say that to be cold, heartless bastards, even though that's admittedly the only way that statement can come across. Unfortunately, we understand that the longer you wait to jump in, the harder it is to integrate into society. And that's true of both the working world and college life.
Pretty soon, you have to put down The Big Book of Dicks and grab a shovel.
When it comes to college, you probably have honor student friends who knew where they were going a year ago and have half a dozen schools competing for their application. But the rest of us kind of just pick one that's not too far away because, well, that's the next thing to do after high school. So take this advice: Get as much of that paperwork filled out and turned in as fast as humanly possible.
This is going to be your first valuable experience with huge, inefficient bureaucracies -- from the school itself, to the government's student aid programs, to your student loans. There is just a massive, ridiculous amount to sift through, and any of it can be delayed for weeks if you forget to check one box. So if you put it off, you are going to find out that you missed some fucked up hidden deadline, and now you either have to wait another semester to enter college or start late, after key classes have filled up, and/or pay some bullshit fees (the first of many, many unexpected fees they'll stick you with, by the way). You'll also run into oddball grants that you do qualify for, but they're only available to the first 100 students who sign up for them. If you wait, you are guaranteed to be No. 101 in the application line. Colleges are like the knowledge mafia, minus the knee cappings and awesome food.
If you're skipping college and going straight into the workforce, you have an advantage right now that you'll never have again as long as you live: People expect you to have no work history. You are a clean slate, and you are not held at fault for that. Yes, this means that you're not going to be jumping into the greatest position right out of the gate, but it does mean that you'll get in the door a little easier. And the sooner you get in, the quicker you can start amassing the experience needed to climb the ladder out of cleaning other people's shit to making other people clean yours.
"Oops, I missed again. Someone get me the new guy, and tell that piece of shit to bring a broom."
The longer you wait, the longer the gap becomes between your graduation date and your first full-time job -- and the larger that gap grows, the more gun shy potential employers get about hiring you. It makes them think, "Damn, if nobody hired them in the year and a half since they graduated, they must be unemployable douchebags."
Yes, it's totally fine to take a few weeks off. Enjoy them. Relax. You totally deserve it, because a lot of kids don't make it as far as you just did. But don't get too comfortable, because you have a long, long way to go, and that first step off the starting block is vital to your success.

What can you do with a major in mathematics?
Students with a degree in mathematics are routinely praised for their incredible analytical skills. Employers seek mathematics majors regardless of the particular work involved because of their ability to solve problems. Banks and investment firms, insurance companies, government agencies (such as the NSA, census bureau, or CDC), pharmaceutical companies, and publishing firms are only a few of the vast employment opportunities that are available to math majors. Furthermore, mathematics provides a solid preparation for graduate school in several fields. Majors frequently go on to graduate school in mathematics, statistics, medicine, engineering, actuarial science, business, and law. Whether you are interested in mathematics for its own sake or in applications of mathematics in a particular subject, a degree in mathematics gives you the foundation for a lifetime of critical thinking and learning.

Missy Franklin is college-bound.
The 18-year-old became the first US female swimmer to win six gold medals at the World Championships in Barcelona on Aug. 4, but she's already focused on starting her life as a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
"Honestly just being home is enough of a celebration for me," the four-time Olympic gold medalist, who will go straight from hosting the US Open Arthur Ashe Kids' Day to move into her dorm room, told PEOPLE on Tuesday.
While such a busy schedule could be overwhelming for some, Franklin takes it all in stride, with the help of her trademark upbeat attitude.
"I've heard so many incredible things about college and I've given up so much for this experience," she said. "I'm so looking forward to it."
Still, moving away from home for the first time can be hard on everyone – especially parents. Franklin says her mom is "a total mess," adding that "we both bawl our eyes out every time we talk about it."
Regardless, the freshman is "excited to live in the dorms and have a roommate," she said. But as for partying, Franklin admits she's "never been to a party before" an unusual admission for someone of her age, until you remember that she won her first gold medal at 17.
As for those coveted gold medals, Missy will not be taking them to Berkeley. Instead, she prefers to keep them at home with her parents in a safety deposit box and "take them out for special occasions."
When asked if she thinks her fellow classmates will recognize her at her new school, the swim star laughed bashfully.
"I'm just going to go there as Missy the freshman, you know? Like every other freshman going there ... to have the time of my life."
Olympic Swimmer Missy Franklin Heads to College

The International Singers and Dancers are part of our Israel Outreach. This group travels to Israel every year with a program of Hebrew songs and Israeli dances designed to send a message of unconditional love and support for Israel. In addition, the Internationals perform at our annual Israel Awareness Day and occasionally at other events during the year. One of the Scriptures that lies at the heart of this ministry is Genesis 12:3 where God is speaking to Abraham concerning his descendants: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the peoples of the earth will be blessed through you." Our mission is to bless the Jewish people by allowing God's love for them to shine through us.

Ariel lies in the mountains of Samaria in the heart of Israel. Today, there are 18,000 people who live in Ariel, and with the city's high quality of life, Ariel is expected to continue to attract not only new immigrants but also native-born Israelis. FBC adopted this community in 1995, as a way of showing our love and support for their courageous stand of living in biblical Samaria. We support Ariel in several ways, including helping fund the Child Development Center that provides services for children with special needs, the Brenda Wygant Memorial Scholarship that is awarded to a student in Ariel that has completed his or her military duty and exhibits a desire to contribute to the Zionist ideal of Israel, and other humanitarian efforts.

Israel celebrates seven major feasts as detailed in the Scriptures.
The Feast of Esther - Purim is a special celebration of God's preservation of the Jewish people. It is also known as the Feast of Esther (the story is found in the book of Esther, chapters 1-10). Click here to Learn more Purim in greater detail.
Modern-day Passover is an eight-day celebration that commemorates the deliverance of the Children of Israel out of Egypt. It actually includes three of the Feasts of the Lord: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of First Fruits. During the time of Jesus, this eight-day period was called the Feast of Unleavened Bread. (Mark 14:12). Learn about Passover in greater detail.
Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost is the celebration of two important events:
The Feast of Weeks is also known as Pentecost, a day of celebration of the spring harvest and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments are read in synagogues to reaffirm the covenant with God and His Torah. The Book of Ruth is also read. For Christians, this is a celebration of yet another feast fulfillment by Jesus Christ (Acts 2:1-4). This is the day on which God sent His Holy Spirit, and Peter stood and preached on this promise. It is the birthday of His church. Learn about Shavout in greater detail.
Rosh Hashannah is also known as the Jewish New Year. Leviticus 23 :24 refers to this feast as the Feast of Trumpets. Jews believe that this is the day that the Lord annually opens the Book of Life and inscribes in it the names of the righteous granting them blessing and life for the next year. The blowing of trumpets and names in the Book of Life are symbols that might represent the rapture of the Bride of Christ. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18) Learn about Rosh Hashannah in greater detail.
Days of Awe are the days between Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur. These are days of seeking God for forgiveness and making sure that by Yom Kippur all is reconciled between you and others, and you and God. These days are considered to be very serious and could be a picture of the days of tribulation - God dealing in a very serious way with mankind. Learn about Days of Awe in greater detail.
Yom Kippur is the holiest day on the Hebrew calendar. It is the day of final atonement when the high priest took the blood of a goat into the Holy of Holies and put it on the Mercy Seat to make atonement for the sins of Israel. Jews are commanded in Leviticus 23:31-32 to fast and observe the day as a Sabbath. The symbolism of Yom Kippur is a picture of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Learn about Yom Kippur in greater detail.

"Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother. Marriage is about love not gender," the True Blood actress, 31, wrote on Twitter, nine days into LGBT Pride Month.
She then linked to the Twitter accounts of Equality California, the NOH8 Campaign and the "It Gets Better" initiative, all of which fight for LGBT rights.
Paquin came out as bisexual in 2010, just months before marrying her costar Stephen Moyer. She did so in a PSA for the True Colors Fund's "Give a Damn" campaign, also dedicated to LGBT equality.
In 2012, the Oscar winner told Zooey magazine that her sexual orientation was a "minor biographical detail," but that she felt compelled to speak out for LGBT rights.
"If you're going to talk about some cause in a way that's meaningful, you should identify why it means something to you," she said. "For a bisexual, it's not about gender. That's not the deciding factor for who they're attracted to."

Parking is bad in most major cities, but a mixup in Los Angeles took things to another level.
Drivers recently spotted a one-minute parking sign in the exclusive Brentwood neighborhood.
A photo of the sign went viral online, sparking amusement and outrage alike.
City officials said the 60-second rule was a typo, not a prank.
The sign was supposed to read "1 hour parking," and has since been replaced.

RICFest Homecoming Update: All outdoor activities planned for Oct. 1 have been moved indoors. Click here for details.
Current Undergraduates
In order to assist students who are unable to meet the cost of financing a college education, the Office of Student Financial Aid administers an extensive program of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment opportunities. Demonstrated financial need is the primary factor used in the awarding of financial aid, although some scholarships are given each year in recognition of superior academic achievement or special talent.
General Eligibility Standards
Applicants should be aware that virtually all financial assistance awarded by the College is limited to:
- Students who have been accepted into a program that will lead to a degree.
- Students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens.
- Students who are enrolled at the College carrying at least one-half the normal full-time academic load (limited Federal Pell Grants are available to some students studying less than half-time).
- Students who are maintaining satisfactory academic progress (see below).
For financial aid purposes, student status is normally verified at the end of the Add period (first two weeks of a semester). Hence, those who are officially classified as non-matriculated students, visiting students, or special students should anticipate that their awards would be canceled. Students whose status at the end of the Add period is less than full time should expect that the amount of their award(s) might be reduced proportionately and/or canceled.
Students enrolled in a program designed to lead to a second baccalaureate degree or in the Rhode Island Teacher Certification Program (RITE) are considered ineligible for virtually all grant/gift assistance provided by or through Rhode Island College. Second baccalaureate degree and RITE students may be considered for financial assistance in the form of loan and/or work opportunities.
Application Procedure for 2016-2017
Any undergraduate student who desires financial aid from the College must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. We strongly encourage students to apply on-line, but students wishing to use the paper FAFSA may request up to three copies by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243.
- Preference for financial aid provided by the College is given to students who have the FAFSA on file at the federal processing center by March 1.
- Applications received after March 1 are only considered for funds that may be available after on-time applicants have been awarded. In order to meet the deadline, you should have your form either postmarked by February 15, 2016 or transmitted (on the Web) by February 23, 2016.
Applications should be submitted as soon after January 1 as possible. To have your FAFSA information sent to Rhode Island College, enter our Federal School Code, 003407, in Step 6 of the FAFSA. It is not necessary to list the college name, address or state, but be sure to enter a housing code to indicate where you plan to live while attending the College. While it is preferable to use income figures from a completed 2015 income tax return, you may use estimated income figures if necessary to ensure on-time application.
After the FAFSA is submitted, the federal processor will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR). Be sure that Rhode Island College is listed on the SAR, otherwise we will not be able to receive your information from the federal processor. If Rhode Island College is not listed or a SAR is not received within four to six weeks, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 Financial aid awards are not automatically renewable unless specified otherwise in your award letter. Almost all student aid at the College must be reapplied for every year.
Financial Aid for Summer Sessions
In addition to the process outlined above, students who wish to apply for financial assistance for summer sessions must submit a Rhode Island College Application for Financial Aid - Summer Sessions. These forms are available from the Office of Student Financial Aid on or about February 1 each year.
A form may also be obtained online (click here for Forms page). Summer Session aid is contingent upon the availability of funds and normally consists of Pell Grants, Direct Loans and Federal Work-Study. Preference for Work-Study is given to applicants who file summer applications prior to April 1.
Standards for Measuring Satisfactory Academic Progress of Undergraduate Financial Aid Recipients
Standards of satisfactory academic progress for student aid recipients measure both the quantity and quality of course work completed. All credit hours attempted, with the exception of credit hours dropped during the first two weeks of the semester (or corresponding time for Summer session courses), are counted to determine placement in the schedule below. In addition, federal regulations require that student aid eligibility be terminated once a student has attempted 150% of the credit hours needed to complete an undergraduate degree program. Satisfactory academic progress is measured once each academic year at the end of the Spring semester.
|0 to 12
|13 to 29
|30 to 59
|60 to 89
|90 to 119
|120 to 149
|150 to 180
Transfer Credits: Credits transferred into Rhode Island College are included as credits attempted to determine placement in the above schedule.
Treatment of "W", "I", and "F" Grades: Credits for all courses with these grades will be added to credits attempted to determine placement in the above schedule.
REPEATED COURSES: Credits for all repeated courses will be included in the total of credits attempted.
TOTAL LIMIT ON ATTEMPTED CREDITS: Rhode Island College does not provide student financial aid to undergraduate students attempting more than 180 credits.
APPEALS AND REINSTATEMENT OF ELIGIBILITY: If a determination is made that a financial aid applicant is not making satisfactory academic progress, the applicant will be considered ineligible for all student financial aid programs for the next academic period. If a student believes that there are extenuating circumstances that contributed to the failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the determination of student aid ineligibility may be appealed to the Director of Student Financial Aid. Student appeals should be submitted in writing. Student appeals not resolved by the Director of Student Financial Aid may be further appealed to the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The above Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress are not designed to replace the standards that the College uses for Academic Dismissal/Probation. It is possible for a student to lose financial aid eligibility without losing status as a degree candidate. However, once a student loses status as a degree candidate, he or she will also lose eligibility for financial aid.
Student aid eligibility may be reinstated during the academic year once a student successfully completes the required number of credits with the required cumulative grade point average.

February 2012
In This Issue:
Reps Requesting Direct Payment Must File Electronically
According to a new mandate effective March 16, representatives who want their fees paid directly by Social Security need to file appeals electronically.
This electronic filing requirement is limited to requests for reconsideration or hearing by an administrative law judge for disability applicants under Title II of the Social Security Act, or Supplemental Security Income applicants based on disability or blindness under Title XVI of the Act, which are denied for medical reasons.
The new requirement will save time and money for representatives, as well as provide an instant receipt for the appeal.
Find out how to file your appeals electronically by viewing our webcast, Filing a Disability Appeal Online, at www.socialsecurity.gov/webinars.
FY 2013 Budget Request Is Lean
For fiscal year (FY) 2013, Social Security is requesting $11.76 billion for administrative expenses, a modest increase from 2012.
Despite receiving appropriations far below what the President requested in FY 2011 and FY 2012, we have achieved some remarkable results. For example, we have drastically reduced the time claimants wait for a hearing decision. In 2011, we cut the average wait below one year for the first time since 2003. Wait times were also down in field offices and on our 800-number. Through the hard work of our employees and technological advancements, we have increased employee productivity by an average of about 4 percent in each of the last five years.
To be clear, this budget request for FY 2013 is lean. Even if Congress provides this level of funding we will not be able to accomplish everything we would like for the American people. We have already curbed lower priority activities so we can continue to achieve our most important goalseliminating the hearings backlog and focusing on program integrity work.
Learn more about the proposed budget and how we plan to use it effectively by reviewing the 2013 Budget Overview. www.socialsecurity.gov/budget.
Social Security Joins National Consumer Protection Week
Social Security is joining with Federal, State, and local government agencies and national organizations to celebrate the 14th annual National Consumer Protection Week, March 4 10. During the week, organizations share tips and information that help consumers protect their privacy, manage money and debt, and avoid identity theft, frauds, and scams.

More than 100 female actors, singers, athletes and other celebrities have donated autographed pairs of their shoes to an online auction that benefits the Lancaster Opera House.
The historic theater at 21 Central Ave. is selling the shoes through eBay in its fifth-annual "Kick Up Your Heels" fundraiser, which continues through the end of this month. The opera house has raised $35,000 in the first four years of the fundraiser and has taken in $10,000 since the first of the month in this year's edition, Executive Director David Fillenwarth said.
The opera house reaches out to the celebrities directly, or through their agents, by email to request a donated pair of shoes, typically high heels but occasionally shoes worn in athletic competition.
This year's donors included singer Kelly Clarkson, pro golfer Natalie Gulbis, tennis ace Maria Sharapova and TV's Vanna White.
Clarkson donated the brown-and-tan Jimmy Choo heels that she wore while singing the national anthem at last year's Super Bowl. The shoes fetched $2,025 on eBay, Fillenwarth said, "which I believe is a new record for us."
And Sharapova donated a pair of sneakers she wore at the U.S. Open tennis championships.
The celebrities help out by encouraging their fans and Twitter followers to join the auction, and the buyers have come from all over the world.
"People do spend a lot of money to collect these things," said Fillenwarth, who keeps the donated shoes at his home until he needs to fulfill the sales. ("My basement has been like a Payless shoe store.")
Visit the opera house's website, www.lancopera.org, and click on the "Kick Up Your Heels" icon on the home page to see what's currently available on eBay.
Also this week:
• The intriguing history of the Buffalo waterfront area now known as Canalside – long home to Buffalo's "red light district" – is the topic of a presentation by local author Edward J. Patton this afternoon at the Lancaster Historical Society, 40 Clark St.
Patton's presentation will be based on the book, "America's Crossroads: Buffalo's Canal Street/Dante Place," which he wrote with Mike Vogel and Paul F. Redding. His talk begins at 2 and is open to the public.
• The Town Board meets at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Town Hall, 21 Central Ave., a meeting moved from Monday because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. A work session at 7 will precede the full board meeting.
A joint session of the Town Board and the town Planning Board will meet at 6:30 that night to review the environmental impact of two projects, including plans to install gas pumps at the Tops Friendly Markets at 6363 Transit Road.

Over the years, the Bishop Guilfoyle Lady Marauders have been known for a stingy man-to-man defense that helped fuel several district and state girls basketball championships.
However, veteran coach Mark Moschella has so much respect for Hollidaysburg this season that his Lady Marauders came out in a 1-3-1 zone against the Lady Tigers in the championship game of the Marguerite Frederick Lady Marauder Classic at the Pleasant Valley gym Saturday.
The Lady Tigers might have been surprised by the BG zone, but it didn't bother them. The Tigers overcame a five-point first-quarter deficit, took the lead in the second and raced to a 58-49 win.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Hollidaysburg's Lexi Servello works to get by Bishop Guilfoyle's Brittany Boslet.
"I thought it was a great high school basketball game," Moschella said. "A couple baskets here and maybe a few less turnovers ... it might have changed the game.
"Hollidaysburg played a real nice game and we had to make some defensive adjustments to slow them down," he said.
Moschella used the zone in hopes of neutralizing Hollidaysburg pivot Morgan Griffith.
"We have a lot of respect for her and we knew we had to shut her down inside," he said, "and then they hit some nice shots on the perimeter."
"To be honest, we were expecting them to play man," Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck said. "I've never seen them play so much zone. I can't tell you the last time I saw them play a zone.
"McCort played us a little 1-3-1 [Friday], and our kids seemed to hesitate a little," Jubeck said. "But, tonight we were able to find Susie Ellis and get her some 3-point shots."
Ellis nailed three 3's in the second quarter to lift the Tigers into the lead, and they never looked back. Ellis' first trey tied the score at 17-all, her second gave the Tigers a 22-20 advantage and her third, following a Courteney Storm trey, made it 28-22.
The Tigers outscored BG, 17-9, in the tide-turning second quarter and the usually-steady Marauders committed 10 turnovers in that eight-minute session.
"That [turnovers] was my biggest disappointment, not making good decisions with the ball," Moschella said.
Hollidaysburg led 29-26 at the intermission and blew it open early in the third quarter. The Tigers scored the first nine - five by Hannah Mercer - to start the second half and hiked their lead to 14 (42-28) on buckets by Griffith and Morgan Jennings.
"We were expecting pretty much anything," Griffith said. "We adjusted and I was really happy how everyone played.
"We haven't won here [much]," she said. "I don't know what it is but we never seem to be able to finish here. I'm really glad we finished tonight."
Tournament MVP Griffith scored 12 of a game-high 17 points in the second half and came up big every time BG got within striking distance.
"Their kids aren't very tall," Jubeck said of BG, "and, we knew as the game got closer near the end, Morgan Griffith would be the key. We got her the ball and she was able to finish. Our guards did a good job of getting into the lane to get her the ball."
Mercer tallied nine of her 12 points in the second half and was the Tigers' glue down the stretch.
"It [zone] didn't surprise me," Mercer said, "and I don't think it surprised the rest of the team, either. A lot of teams run a zone against us so we know where to go and I thought we did a really good job of penetrating and hitting those gaps.
"We knew where we had to go," she said, "and I don't think [zone] threw us off at all. I think our experience showed and we're ready to do whatever it takes this year to finish."
"If we could have kids like Hannah Mercer from now until the rest of our careers, someone with that no-quit attitude, every program would be in good shape," Jubeck said.
Jubeck was happy to win the tournament at a site which isn't easy for any visiting team.
"In the area, this is probably the toughest place to play," she said. "It's almost a little bit like Duke. You know you've got to build a lead because, if it gets close at the end, the fans of Bishop Guilfoyle are going to play a very big factor.
"We knew we had to control the boards and we had to make sure we didn't allow them second and third shots," Jubeck noted. "It's difficult to keep [Kayla] Bates and [Halee] Adams off the boards and they did get some second-chance points but, when we were controlling the boards, that's when we were at our best."
Game notes: Adams (16), Elyssa Ehredt (13) and Bates (12) accounted for 41 of BG's 49 points. ... Hollidaysburg had a 27-25 advantage in rebounds and turned the ball over 15 times - five fewer than BG. ... Bishop McCort edged Central Mountain, 58-56, in the consolation game. ... Griffith was the MVP and the all-tourney team included Mercer, Adams, Ehredt, McCort's Stephanie Hrbal and Central Mountain's Kara Heckman. ... BG travels to Westmont Hilltop on Wednesday while Hollidaysburg visits Altoona.

About the Company
MD Revolution leverages doctor-supervised genomic and metabolic testing, personalized health and fitness plans, mobile health monitoring, and an integrated software platform called RevUp to reduce the risks of chronic disease and measurably improve the health of patients and corporate employee populations. In as little as three weeks, MD Revolution can significantly impact the drivers of chronic disease – reduction of visceral fat around organs and improvements in cardiovascular fitness and metabolism. Studies have consistently shown that 40% of cancers (prostate, breast, lung, and colon) and 75% of all cardiovascular disease can be prevented by healthy behaviors.
Our clinical model offers the first personalized health and fitness assessments and integrated software applications in the nation that merge traditional health care with rapidly evolving tools in genomic medicine and mobile health (mHealth) technology. MD Revolution algorithms have shown statistically significant improvements for 90% of patients in as little as three weeks. Through our software as a subscription program, corporations and health systems will receive the most technologically advanced personalized, predictive, and preventive medicine available. Demonstrable benefits include improved employee productivity, decreases in absenteeism, improved risk from an underwriting perspective, and a reduction in "high-cost" healthcare utilization.
The Market
U.S health care costs account for 20% of GDP or $2.6 trillion. Preventable chronic diseases account for 75% of that amount. In 2010 healthcare costs would have been cut by $945 billion if employers had adopted workplace wellness and disease prevention programs. Current annual spending on workplace health promotion is estimated at $2 billion. The average employee has at least two risks linked to increased healthcare costs, decreased productivity and increased absenteeism. This is a cost to employers of $9,000 a year per employee at a minimum. These individuals account for 81% of hospital admissions, 91% of filled prescriptions, and 76% of doctor's visits. Boston Consulting Group and Healthways calculated that a cost intervention of $8 per employee would yield an overall ROI potential of 390-755%. The only way the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act can afford its ambitious national objectives is through disease prevention and health promotion.
What Makes Us Innovative
Leading scientists and experts in genetics, chronic disease, metabolism, nutrition and mobile devices have developed MD Revolution system. Proprietary patent pending algorithms make RevUp a scalable system that can deliver intelligent touches to help patients and employees make progress and alerts to the healthcare team when patients or employees are off track. A nurse practitioner or nutritionist can then intervene via text, email or phone to provide guidance and support. Mobile health tracking, real time scores and marrying dynamic and static health and fitness data in an user-friendly dashboard drive sustained behavior change.

Apprenticeship Carolina, an integral part of the South Carolina Technical College System, announced that Michelin North America is sponsoring a structured two-year program that will offer classroom and practical hands-on experience for their Maintenance Technician. The apprenticeship program is in conjunction with the Michelin Scholars program and will lead to a full associate's degree for the apprentice.
"Building a skilled workforce and increasing the pipeline for skilled labor in advanced manufacturing is very important to Michelin North America," said Steve Burry, employee relations project manager for Michelin North America. "Our registered apprenticeship program aligns very well with this goal. We understand the critical role our employees play in the success of our organization. This program demonstrates Michelin's commitment to our people, our customers and, ultimately, our community."
An apprenticeship is a time-tested method of employee development that combines supervised on-the-job learning and job-related education. A program "registered" with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) shows an employer's visible commitment to developing a high-quality workforce that meets nationally recognized training standards. Michelin's apprenticeship program is competency based with approximately 1,110 hours of job-related education. Michelin will be partnering with technical colleges across the state to deliver the job-related education for all maintenance staff.
Since its inception in 2007, Apprenticeship Carolina has played a key role in growing apprenticeship participation across the state. The number of participating organizations has grown from 90 to 583. During that same time, the number of apprentices in the state has grown exponentially from 777 to 7,137.
"While there is a large pool of labor available, many local employers struggle to find the skilled workers needed to grow their business," said Brad Neese, director of Apprenticeship Carolina. "Apprenticeship Carolina and the technical colleges across our state are committed to bridging this skills gap in South Carolina. Partnerships like this with Michelin demonstrate our commitment while working to increase South Carolina's overall competitiveness."

MARTINSBURG - When one person's dream is shared by many, it has the potential to become a cause, lasting even beyond the individual's lifetime.
During his life, Frank Buckles, the last surviving American World War I veteran, passionately advocated for the construction of a national monument in Washington, D.C., along the National Mall, honoring all Americans who fought in WWI.
Now, on the two-year anniversary of his death and the upcoming centennial commemoration of WWI, Buckles' dream of a monument in the nation's capital is still being pursued by both individuals and in legislation.
Article Photos
Journal file photo by Ron Agnir
Gregory Marra, an international M.F.A. sculptor based in Bucks County, Pa., fine-tunes a clay scale model of Frank Buckles at 16 years old, walking the riderless horse of Gen. Pershings during the National World War One Legacy Project Press Conference in Charles Town.
The Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act was introduced in the House of Representatives in January, seeking to provide land and funding for a national WWI memorial in the capital.
The Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act is an amendment to the World War I Centennial Commission Act. The Centennial Commission Act authorizes the establishment of a committee whose job is to plan and execute programs and activities to commemorate the centennial of WWI.
The Centennial Commission Act does not provide for the building of a national monument, stipulating that the committee cannot enter into a lease or legal agreement that would extend beyond the Centennial Commission's termination date of July 28, 2019.
The Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act proposes adding language permitting the establishment of a national WWI Memorial in the D.C. area and allowing for federal funds to be used to help fund the monument.
The act also stipulates that the monument would not reside on more than half an acre of land and the total cost of design and construction could not surpass $10 million.
There is a District of Columbia War Memorial, but that memorial only recognizes D.C. residents who fought in the war. Additionally, the act calls for the Liberty Memorial of Kansas City at America's National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Mo., to be designated as the National World War I Museum and Memorial.
Efforts to pass the Frank Buckles World War I Memorial Act have been in place since 2009, with multiple versions of the act introduced before both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In 2009, Buckles appeared with U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller on Capitol Hill to support the act in a congressional hearing. Rockefeller introduced legislation both in 2009 and 2012 in support of the act.
"Frank was a true American patriot and a West Virginia treasure. He was tough, tenacious and an absolute joy to know as a friend. His service to our country - and, indeed, that of every World War I doughboy - is a fundamental part of our national history. And it's something that should be honored," said Rockefeller in a statement Tuesday.
Buckles died Feb. 27, 2011, at the age of 110. Buckles enrolled with the Army in 1917 at the age of 16 and spent two years overseas during WWI. At the beginning of WWII, Buckles was captured as a prisoner of war and spent more than three years in Japanese prison camps.

Too small!
By flowergirl

This is a fine product, but like other reviewers, I find the bag too small for my every day use (to the office, shopping, etc.) I should have listened to their warnings, but I have the tote with which I am pleased.

Love the feel!
By Happygirl
from Birmingham, AL
I just received this purse for Christmas from my husband as an "in-between" sized purse, and I love the feel of the leather and the style! It has two deep inside open pockets on one side, and an inside zippered pocket on the other. It also has two open side pockets on the outside, perfect for my iPhone and my work ID badge.When I go shopping and when I travel, I like to leave some of my everyday stuff at home and only take what may apply on my trip. I have a smaller purse, and while it sometimes fits what I need, sometimes it's just not quite big enough. This purse will allow me to take a smaller bag while traveling that holds just a little more than a purse used for a shopping day at the mall. I think I am going to find that this one is just perfect for that!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
too small!
By travelnut
from Undisclosed
I purchased this bag thinking it would be perfect. And sure enough, color, quality of leather, construction, etc, are typical Levernger good quality. but it is TOO SMALL. I can't fit even the essentials into it. Indeed, the pocket for the smart phone is so small that you can't zip the zipper when the phone is in the pocket.Am returning it because it isn't functional. Too bad as it is beautiful.
Merchant response: I'm sorry this bag was too small for you. I do agree Carezza is one of our more popular lines and is a big hit internally as well. I'll be more than happy to help you with this return and discuss some other options with you.
Beautiful but small
By Dinana
from Greenville, SC
I just received this bag, and although I really like it, I will have to return it because it is smaller than expected. I will try to exchange it for a larger style, because I really like the leather and the color.The pleated design of this purse is very attractive, the contrast of the "lizard" trim is great, the leather is buttery soft, the color is gorgeous (more of an eggplant--looks darker in person than in the photos) and it has a very subtle, almost metallic sheen that is really nice--but I SO wish it were two or three inches larger each way and I'd be on cloud nine about it!It has an outside pocket on each end, and inside there are two generous open pockets on one side and a zippered pocket on the other.As it is, I can't fit the things I typically carry in my purse into it. I carry a large billfold, and it takes up half the inside space.If this is the size purse you like, you'll love it! But do check the size...I was disappointed. I don't believe this listing shows a photo of the bag being carried by a person. That would be my suggestion to Levenger: add a photo of a woman carrying the purse to give customers a better idea of its size.
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. We love to hear from our customers how we can improve our products and make them better. I will send you a personal email with some additional information. I will forward your comments on to our Product Development & Design Team.
