PMP Reexamination Facts
By PM Hut
Once your PMP application is approved, you are given one year to pass the PMP exam. Should you fail the PMP within this one year, then you are eligible to apply up to 2 more times for a reexamination.
Here are some facts about the PMP reexamination:
Fees for the PMP Reexamination
PMI Member CBT1: $275, PMI Member PBT2 $150 (vs. regular PMI Member fees of $405 for CBT, $250 for PBT)
Non-Member CBT: $375, Non-member PBT $300 (vs. regular fees of $555 for CBT, $400 for PBT)
Eligbility for the PMP Reexamination
You are eligigble to apply for the PMP reexamination provided you:
- have already taken the PMP exam (and, of course, failed) and you're still within your one year eligibility period3.
- have failed the PMP exam a maximum of two times within your one year eligibility period.
Note that if you fail the PMP exam three times within your one year eligibility period, then you will have to wait one calendar year from the date where you took your last examination to apply again.
1: Computer Based Testing
2: Paper Based Testing
3: The one year eligibility period, in PMP terms, is one calendar year as of the approval of your PMP application.

1. Voters are deciding on capital improvement projects in two school districts today. Balloting goes until 9 p.m. in Williamsville North High School, 1595 Hopkins Road, on a $16.75 million proposal that includes a variety of improvements at all the Williamsville schools, including new drop-off areas at Maple West Elementary, Transit Middle and Williamsville South. Meanwhile, polls are open until 9 p.m. in Pioneer Central High School, 12145 County Line Road, Yorkshire, on a $31 million project that includes a 10-room science addition to the high school and a new third floor for Arcade Elementary School, parts of which date back more than 80 years.
2. The fall semester ends tonight for the Buffalo Film Seminars. Final selection is "A Separation," a complex and socially revealing drama which won an Oscar earlier this year as Best Foreign Language Film, the first Iranian film to do so. Screening starts at 7 in the Market Arcade Film & Arts Center, 639 Main St., after an introduction. A discussion follows.
3. The protest group on the steps of Buffalo City Hall at 10 a.m. will be calling for the city's Civil Service Commission to send a recommendation to the Common Council to pay the city's "seasonal" sanitation workers the back wages they are owed from 2003 to 2007. The Living Wage Commission has urged the city to come up with the difference between what the workers were paid back then and the amount they should have been paid.
4. Want to win a pair of tickets to the Buffalo Bills game Sunday against the St. Louis Rams? Just show up at the Paul Maguire Club at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and donate to a community blood drive co-sponsored by the Bills and the American Red Cross. A total of 300 tickets will be given away. All donors also will receive a free Buffalo Bills Red Cross T-shirt. There also will be stadium tours, refreshments and appearances by the players and Buffalo Jills cheerleaders. To schedule an appointment, call toll-free 800-RED CROSS.
5. Everything from the Auto Bureau to Erie Community College could be headed for the chopping block if a majority of Erie County legislators vote at their 2:05 p.m. meeting today to cut $8.5 million from County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz's $1.38 billion budget in order to avoid a potential property tax increase. Poloncarz is warning that some of the cuts would leave the county vulnerable to unexpected expenses and bring on the intervention of the fiscal control board, which nobody wants.
6. Albright-Knox Art Gallery marks its founding on Dec. 4, 1862, with a special week of celebration, starting today with the unveiling of a new commissioned work, Erie and Heather ChanSchatz's "Universals Albright-Knox 150 (UN.0201-UN.0350)," which involved the participation of 150 Western New Yorkers. The gallery will have free admission and extended hours today through Friday.
7. Broadway has taken one of the most beloved holiday movies and made it into a musical, "Irving Berlin's White Christmas," which opens in a touring production at 7:30 tonight in Shea's Performing Arts Center for eight performances that continue through Sunday. But it's not the only Christmas musical choice today. The Latshaw Pops Orchestra offers songs of the season at 2 p.m. in the Riviera Theatre, 67 Webster St., North Tonawanda, and the Buffalo State College Choral Spectacular raises its voices at 7:30 p.m. in Rockwell Hall Performing Arts Center.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Protein microarrays are one aspect of highly automated, large-scale biological screening technologies, the other is nucleic acid arrays. As DNA arrays reveal their origin in Southern blotting protocols, protein microarrays reflect their genesis in Western blotting, in which protein mixtures are separated on acrylamide gels, transferred to nitrocellulose, and reacted against specific antibodies.
Protein blots, however, are specialized and labor intensive, highly individualized for characterizing proteins by their molecular weight and other properties. Unlike DNA arrays, much of their success hinges on the availability of quality antibodies that will react strongly and with high specificity against the target proteins. At the recent "PEPTalk" meeting held in California, participants argued the merits of various approaches to building and operating protein microarrays. These include separating, detecting, and characterizing the proteins under study.
Protein microarray applications run the gauntlet from basic science to drug discovery to diagnostics and personalized medicine, as Antonia Holway, Ph.D., director, microarray applications at Aushon Biosystems explained. The company employs a variety of materials and surfaces in its arrays to achieve these goals.
Protein arrays can be implemented in two ways—in the forward-phase mode, the antibodies are printed on the array surface, followed by reaction with the antigen samples; whereas, in reverse-phase mode, antigens are printed, to be followed by reaction of the microarrays with the panel of primary antibodies. With the forward-phase approach, hundreds of antibodies can be printed on a high-content slide for use as a screening tool. This is basically a qualitative assay, demonstrating differences between two samples. Quantitative forward-phase arrays, similar to multiplex ELISAs, are also possible and powerful.
"Reverse-phase arrays can provide high-throughput, multidimensional protein measurements," stated Dr. Holway. In the reverse-phase mode, the antigen, which is printed on the solid substrate, could be any one of a variety of biological materials, including cell lysates, tissue lysates, body fluids, or recombinant proteins. Here, the investigators can look at hundreds or even thousands of samples on a single slide.
As an example of a study using the reverse-phase microarray approach, Dr. Holway discussed work by Ian Summerhayes of the Lahey Clinic Medical Center, whose goal was to identify histone deactylase inhibitors that can modulate the expression of different tumor and invasive suppressor genes. Summerhayes printed out lysates of nine different bladder carcinoma cell lines treated with histone deacetylase inhibitors. He found that different classes of these agents share similar potential to upregulate the expression of important tumor and invasive suppressor genes involved in bladder tumorigenesis.
In another series of investigations, Bennedetta Accordi and Giuseppi Baso of the University of Padua in Italy studied the phosphoproteomic profiles of children affected by B- and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia using reverse-phase arrays, in which they screened the cancer cells for proteins known to be involved in many pathways including cellular proliferation. "Here the goal was to identify key alterations related to disease outcome and drug resistance and even to provide targets for new drugs," Dr. Holway explained.
Yet another application described by Dr. Holway has been developed by 20/20 Gene Systems, and concerns an early detection approach for non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Using a reverse-phase array with phage-expressed proteins as the antigen, a blood test for early detection was developed by measuring the levels of multiple antibodies generated during early stages of the disease. Preliminary results suggest that it may be possible to detect anticarcinoma antibodies in the blood of subjects as much as three to five years before radiographic screening methods are effective.
Dr. Holway concluded her talk by discussing her company's efforts to deal with protein array fabrication challenges. "With our technology we are able to print on a wide range of binding surfaces while handling a variety of buffers and viscosities using extremely low sample volumes," she stated. "This gives us the ability to produce quality arrays in high volume."

What is Reputation Management?
As more and more people rely on the internet to gather information, a person or a business becomes susceptible to public exposure—whether in a good or bad way. The problem is not the concept of online visibility, but rather the quality of the actual contents that are being made available on the internet about a person or a business.
Reputation Management is a practice that deals with creating, managing and controlling the flow of contents on the internet about an individual, a small business, or a corporation. An experienced Reputation Management firm actively monitors and manages your online reputation by suppressing inaccurate negative information about you to decrease its visibility from potential customers. Online Reputation Management is similar to the Search Engine Optimization strategies in some ways since their main objective is to increase a person or company's Google ranking and to limit the amount of negative information found on the web. Reputation management specialists help companies take back their name and put it back in a positive light.
Benefits of Reputation Management
- Create a positive image online for your personal profile or business
- Push libellous statements and content farther down the search engine ranks
- Control what is being said about you or your company
- Regain your customers' trust
- Avoid letting your potential clients see negative contents about you
What We Offer
Merritthouse Media's Reputation Management service comes to the rescue by managing the flow of information on the internet about its clients. Whether the issue is a libellous statement, a slanderous remark, or something that had happened in the past, we will work hard to bring you back in the positive light. That's our promise!
We will bury those inaccurate, defamatory contents and populating the internet with positive, character-building contents about your company. And while it's true that certain negative comments cannot be removed online, our reputation management experts can bury those slanderous contents on the far regions of Google. What we mean by this is that we will work hard to push those negative contents to a place where majority of us never bothers to look.
Got A Question?

It's Time for the CloudFone
POSTED Oct 10, 2013 08:35
We live in interesting times. Just a few years ago, having a qwerty keyboard on your cel was all the rage. That time became the era of the smartphone – device that acts almost like your own personal digital assistant storing schedules, appointments, music, video and a few social networking tools. Feature phones that could do only voice calls and text messages via SMS still had an audience and in a way, these two types of consumer products co-existed side-by-side despite looking like the days of the numeric keypad were, well, numbered.
Then the iPhone entered the scene. With its clear glass touchscreen surface and minimal physical buttons, it was basically just an interface. And an expensive one at that. Rival companies scrambled to replicate that device's huge success. Similar touchscreen smartphones started to appear, taking advantage of the networking data services that telcos desperately wanted people to use. The only problem was, everything was still too expensive. You couldn't get a decent touchscreen phone for less than P15k. Less costing qwerty smartphones and feature phones still had their audience.
Then something happened. Just a little under a year ago, touchscreen smartphones from smaller companies began to appear. Affordable ones being sold under the P10k mark. Suddenly you couldn't turn around anywhere without seeing people sliding their fingers across a glass surface as they chose their music, posted to Facebook and Twitter, surfed the internet, watched a movie in their seats or played a game of Angry Birds. The touchscreen smartphone was quickly becoming the standard for everyone across all markets.
How did it come to this?
One word: Data. According to Eric Yu, president of PhoneCo Mobile Technologies Inc., an affordable touchscreen smartphone with the right data services to encourage and excite customers to use them is the key. And as the phone or handset changes, so do the people who will move on to the device that can satisfy their data service needs.
"Consumer usage of mobile phones is shifting," says Yu. "Voice and SMS usage has gone down and data usage has gone up. This is happening around the world because of the messaging platform, better user experience and all the things a smartphone can do."
Because of low usage, local data rates were still a bit expensive. Yu already knew, for that to come down, something had to change to make telcos embrace lower priced data services for their customers. He explains, "Last year when we started, data was really, really expensive. One of the most expensive data rates in South East Asia is the Philippines. Looking forward, we knew data prices would eventually come down. In Indonesia, competition eventually drove the data prices down. Therefore, usage went up. The thing was, there was no point for the telcos to reduce data rates last year because there weren't enough phones in the market to take advantage of the data."
The challenge became how to convert feature phone users to use data services and have qwerty phone users to ditch their handsets in favor of touchscreen smartphones. Lowering the cost of a touchscreen smartphone was the solution.
Enter the CloudFone Thrill 430x. At a retail price of P7,777, this is an affordable-priced touchscreen smartphone making full use of the powerful Android 4.0 (ICS) operating system. A few bullet points to consider about this phone is its 4.3" IPS qHD capacitive touchscreen which delivers amazing image quality on the display. Another is its 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash at the back. More importantly, you should take notice of its battery – a 4160mAh polymer battery beast that can power the phone for, at most, three days. Yu adds, "It is the biggest battery in the world for a smartphone."
Including the Thrill 430x, there are eight different CloudFone touchscreen phones made available by PhoneCo in two series. All affordable and all under the P10k range. There's the Excite lineup with phones such as the 320e, 350e, 350g and 350i with a price range from P2,999 to P3,999. In the Thrill series is the 400g, 430g, 430x and 500g ranging in price from P4,999 to P7,777. All are Android phones. "The Excite series is for the budget conscious. Meanwhile the Thrill is where the screen size gets bigger, the specs get higher and that's for the more sophisticated user," Yu explains. Before the year ends he promises that his company will bring in an additional five new models to the series all still priced under P10k.
Another special feature to the CloudFone devices is that all of them are dual-sim. You can have two different networks residing inside the phone on dual-standby mode. You'll never miss a call again. The Thrill 430x benefits from a 1.2GHz Snapdragon Dual Core processor and 4 gigabytes of ROM plus 768 megabytes of RAM. All this means is virtually all apps run fast and smooth on the 430x without a hitch. Surf and download using the WiFi or your network connection using the many data services now made easily accessible. Storage can be upgraded to 32 gigabytes to store all your videos, music and other important data.
Yu says that having the polymer battery was highly important, "The reason why we came up with the 430x is, we looked at the user and said, 'Yes, it is a smartphone but your battery dies after three or four hours.' What do the consumers do? They turn off the GPS, WiFi, data connection, everything. So, it becomes a smartphone-looking feature phone. Our goal is to say, 'Turn on everything, watch a movie – watch three movies – and you'll still be OK with the battery.' We went the extra mile in having a polymer battery to make sure it's of good quality that, even if you charge with 50 or 30 percent usage it would still keep the battery good for a long time. The battery is useful for tethering because you can keep it on for a long time."
The era of the touchscreen phone is here. What's more important, though, is that the technology is made available to the mass market, no longer confined to high-end users and the privileged. The CloudFone Thrill 430x is a shining example of that. These are interesting times, indeed.
CloudFone currently has sales exhibits and pop stores at the Glorietta activity center, SM Cebu and SM Clark and is also available at Office Warehouse in Rockwell. CloudFones are also available at kiosks located in Starmall Mandaluyong and Central Mall, Binan, Laguna.
Nationwide, the CloudFone 430x is available at – GMA: Anson's Hello, Bluelite, Jr. MX, Officewarehouse; North Luzon: Wow Mobile, G2 mobile Mountain Studio; Central Luzon: Savers Appliance, Cellshoppe; South Luzon: Presnet, Viewers, Avicom; Visayas: RC goldline, Save n Earn; and in Mindanao at: Mobile Networks, Ytelcom, Touch n Send, Country Phone, Cell Exchange, BCS, Citiexpress, and iHop.

Minister Approves Proposal to Fight and "Cure" Atheism in Egypt
According to Prime Magazine, minister of Awqaf (Religious Endowments), Dr. Mohamed Mokhtar Goma'a, approved a proposal prepared by a group of Awqaf scholars and experts in psychiatry and sociology to oppose atheism through forming an alliance between the Ministry of Awqaf and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The plan aims to confront the atheistic "phenomenon" by making the youth aware of the danger it poses for religion, morality, and patriotism. Part of the plan also consists of "curing" atheists psychologically, religiously, and socially.
In addition, the scheme focuses on collecting and studying all precedent cases made by atheists and proving them wrong, giving obligatory training by experts in psychiatry, sociology, and Islamic jurisdiction, and training university students and young ex-atheists to take part in the oppositional phenomenon. Other plans include "preventive" campaigns for youth and targeting atheism from its core roots and popular areas of expansion. A training program for imams and youth who wish to take part in this initiative is also part of the plan.
A Facebook page under the name of the "بالعقل كده"- which roughly translates to "using rationality" – a slang phrase used to invite people to reconsider and think matters through – will be created to serve as a public form of communication with youth. The aim behind the page is to provide a platform for questions by atheists, and also agnostics, to be answered and to provide methods of assistance for their family members to use.
The Ministry of Youth also plans to set up a hot line to offer scientific and social means of assistance to the families of the atheists, in collaboration with an advisory-committee comprised of of Al-Azhar scholars.

Two men appeared in bond court Thursday after being charged with manufacturing methamphetamines from their Ravenel home.
A judge set bail at $300,000 for Joseph Chaplain III, 32, of 5803 Drayton St., according to court records.

The access road to Waihee Ridge Trail, one of Maui's most popular trails, has formal closing times now posted by the Maui County Boy Scouts of America because of late-night partying and destruction of the trail, according to Scout officials.
The state owns the trail and leases land to the Scout group, which has begun opening and closing a gate above Kahekili Highway from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The gate blocks visitors from driving up the access road and parking near the trail.
"A trail that's closed is not a trail," said Waihee Valley resident David Henderson Brown. "I've been there and . . . the trail opens whenever (the caretaker) opens it. It was open at 7:30 a.m. two or three weeks ago and it's not just me that's going up there, it's a very used trail."

The Maui County Boy Scouts of America has posted closing times for the access road to Waihee Ridge Trail. Previously, the road had no formal or posted times, but because of trespassing and vandalism, the Scouts close the gate at 5 p.m. and open it at 7 a.m.
The Maui News / TRESSA VERBER photo
Scout officials said that the opening and closing of the gate is nothing new, but officials with the Department of Land and Natural Resources only became aware of the formal times last month.
Torrie Nohara, trails and access specialist with the department's Division of Forestry and Wildlife, oversees the trail and said she is in talks with the Scouts to extend the gate's regular opening hours.
"They have to provide access, but they do not have to require vehicular access," Nohara said. "They're not doing anything wrong. I wish we had the stick to say leave the gate open . . . because for people to walk up the road, by the time you get up to the trail you'll want to turn back because that road is about a mile and it's steep."
Scout Executive Robert Nakagawa said that the reasons for the posted closing times stem from repeated loitering and vandalism in the trail parking lot and near Camp Maluhia, which is heavily used by the Scouts.
"According to my caretaker, he's basically cleaning up that parking lot every day due to all the trash and bottles," Nakagawa said. "We get a lot of people wandering around the campground, loitering and trespassing on the Scouts' property."
Kevin Cooney, trails and access technician and volunteer coordinator with the division, said that he regularly sees garbage leading up to and along the trail.
"When you have places like that, where gates aren't closed, you have kids going up and trashing the place," said Cooney, who has been with the division for nearly 20 years. "I just went up there . . . and (trash) was all over the place. One of the pullouts had rubbish and cans and graffiti, strewn out all over the road.
"It's a quiet place where all the kids like to go and party," he said.
The Scouts' leased land extends from an entry road off the highway, past the gate and ends up at an additional gate above the trail's parking area, Nakagawa said. Since the scheduled closing times went into effect, "there has been a lot less car break-ins and drug (activity)," he added.
"A lot of this happens after dark, so we tend to close it during that," he said. "But we're weighing a lot of options."
One of the long-term options Nakagawa and Nohara are weighing is an electronic fence that would automatically open and close. Wildlife officials believe the fence could extend the access road's opening and closing times for the trail that can see anywhere from 30 to 40 people per day.
"I don't have the numbers but . . . it's one of, if not our busiest trail," she said. "We're talking about getting an electronic gate that can automatically open and close. The gate would have a pad you drive up to that would let you out after closing, but not let you in. If we could do that then we could solve this problem so (the Scouts) could feel safe, and they don't have to close the gate off."
Nakagawa reiterated that the trail is open and that only the access road for cars is closed.
"If people want to hike for a sunrise trail hike they just have to hike a little farther than the bottom gate," he said.
Brown, a regular on the trail and executive director of Public Access Trails Hawaii, said that he has sympathy for the Scouts' caretakers' concerns about vandalism, but he called the decision to close the access road "bad management."
"When the park is opened, which it is not now, then all their trails are open 24 hours. The park is closed now, and therefore the trails are closed," he said, referring to the government shutdown and subsequent Haleakala National Park closing. "The problem is not the hikers. Their problem is people doing bad things in the parking lot, and that's the police's problem. At some point you have to draw a line, and there is no gate that works for me."

Elefterakis also surmounted the 500 assist mark for his Haverford carreer. As he is a senior, Elefterakis will not be returning to help the HC Men's basketball team next year. The team will surely miss his help both in baskets and on the boards. Congratulations Johnny! Enjoy your Breadstick!

What the conference speakers and attendees had to say about the conference
African Centurion Walk 2016 - Robben Island.
22 October 2016 (Saturday) - 23 October 2016 (Sunday) at 12:00.
Planet Concept (Pty) Ltd brings you the inaugural African Centurion Walk in Africa. Proudly hosted at the world renowned Robben Island, a World and South African site symbolic of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Walking 100 miles (±160 km) in 24 hours is not an everyday achievement, but a challenge that only a few in the world can achieve. This worldwide trend started in Britain in 1911 and has taken place in countries such as; Australia, New Zealand, United States, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Isle of Man and The Netherlands. South Africa will be the first African country to host a centurion event.
And the contact centre 'Oscar' goes to…
Winners all round in the Contact Centre Management Group Annual Awards
Despite the current economy, the inherent strength of South Africa's contact centre industry was demonstrated by the strong competition experienced across the various categories at the Contact Centre Management Group (CCMG) Annual Awards.

I have been on 3 cruises with Carnival and this was my first on the Triumph. I was expecting it to be completely redone after the mishap in February but I was wrong. We had an inside state room on the the deck 6. Apparently it had to be one of the rooms that had been flooded. Our toilet and my moms toilet next door had dark black rings in them. I don't understand why they didn't replace the toilets during the renovations. Our bathroom sink was cracked also. I would occasionally get a whip of sewage in my room and also near the elevators at the bar in the atrium area. The television in our room was old and outdated while my mom had a flat screen.
On the upside of the boat, the food was fantastic! The entertainment was out of this world! The crew was awesome, Alex in the MDR was amazing. He was so friendly and went out of his way to make our dinner enjoyable. Sarah the young lady in the photo department was very nice. I will have to say I will probably not be going back on the Triumph anytime soon unless they do some remodeling.

When the Olympics last came to London in 1948, craters left by Nazi bombs were still visible. A good percentage of the city's population was homeless and food was still being rationed even though Hitler was defeated. The British did not build a single new building for the games; instead, the world's athletes lived in dorms and barracks. Three years after Hiroshima, humanity was still reeling from World War II.
Appropriately, the XIV Olympiad was christened the "Austerity Games."
Sixteen Summer Games later, London hosts the Olympics again and they are anything but austere. The United Kingdom poured money, concrete and volunteers into their 2012 Games, but these Olympics are becoming famous for how they permeate the globe through the internet.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Social Media Games.
What does that mean? Well, now the Games aren't limited to the planet's elite physical specimens. Anyone with an internet connection, Twitter handle and just enough snark can easily participate.
Danny Boyle, director of the somewhat-bizarre-yet-mostly-moving Opening Ceremony, predicted how crucial social media and the web would be to these games. He dedicated a whole section to the digital age, complete with a Brit Pop soundtrack. This presentation featured Tim Berners-Lee, the Briton who invented the World Wide Web (therefore indirectly inventing lolcats). Typing away on a revolving desktop, Berners-Lee tweeted in front of the world his feelings about his baby: "This is for everyone."
The stars of the games are all active on Twitter, including the most-decorated Olympian ever, Michael Phelps (@MichaelPhelps), and the fastest person in the world, Usain Bolt (@usainbolt). Home country darling Jessica Ennis (@J_Ennis) and Gabrielle Douglas (@gabrielledoug), the gymnast that all-arounded into our hearts, are also both on the social media site. It is challenging to find an athlete that is not live-tweeting their experience. Many are finding their number of followers growing steadily since the start of these Olympics.
The Social Media Games goes both ways, of course. Factoids, hashtags and random Olympic musings crawl over Twitter and Facebook from all over Earth. It didn't take long for Facebook users to figure out Douglas' last name could be rearranged to spell "USA GOLD."
But the social media infatuation has not all been positive. Greek athlete Voula Papachristou was kicked out of the games for tweeting racist statements. Australian swimming star Stephanie Rice found herself in similar hot water two years ago after a homophobic tweet. NBC has earned plenty of public ire from disappointed American sports fans shooting off tweets with the #NBCFail hashtag.
Kinks aside, these Social Media Games are invigorating, inclusive and add a new facet to the institution. Although the powers that be fiercely attempt to keep the Olympics as neutral as possible, global politics and contemporary culture always shape each Olympiad.
Just as the horrors of WWII and hope for the future molded the Austerity Games, the global reach and worldwide conversation made possible by the internet define these Social Media Games.

LEWISTOWN - Dave Molek has announced his intention to seek re-election as one of the nine members of the school board in the Mifflin County School District.
Molek said he has served 12 years in the position and is interested in serving one more four-year-term.
Molek said he is a lifelong resident of Mifflin County and graduated from Chief Logan High School. He has a B.A. in Political Science from St. Vincent College and a J.D. from Dickinson School of Law.

David Molek
He is also a U.S. Army veteran in military intelligence, Molek said.
Molek said he has been a practicing attorney for more than 36 years and is also an instructor of law and criminal justice courses at South Hills School of Business and Technology in Lewistown and State College.
Molek said he is not a one-issue candidate. He said he reads, studies the issues, listens to people, then makes the best common sense decision he can.
He said he feels his education, background and board experience are important assets.
Molek said he considers himself to be a conservative, fiscally-responsible person working in the best interests of the children. He cites restoring parental responsibility, reduction of expenditures and staying within a budget as his primary goals.
Molek resides in Yeagertown with his wife, Josephine, three adult children who all have been educated in Mifflin County schools and has four grandchildren.

The time has come. The season is almost here. We're ready for hockey.
But what will play when the Pittsburgh Penguins score a goal?
What song will you hear between the horn sounding and Ryan Mill screaming in an obnoxious manner?
Last season the team used "Song 2" by Blur. It's been used a couple of times in team history and it isn't a bad goal song. It's also been used as a "Victory Song" of sorts after games for a while. Maybe it's just us, but it kind of feels a little old and dated now. So what else is there? Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll, Part 2" has been used in the past as well and it's been pretty popular.
It's a great choice for a goal song, despite not being that original. Of course, some people don't like that choice because of Glitter's child pornography conviction. That's probably part of the reason why the Penguins stopped using the song when they moved to the Consol Energy Center.
So what else is there?
We've always thought that Muse's "Uprising" would be a good goal song starting at about the 3:08 mark. There's even a good "HEY!" part in there for the fans to cheer.
So what would you want to hear as a goal song. Remember, this doesn't mean "What is your favorite song?" or "What are you listening to on your iPod right now?" Goal songs need to have energy and they should pump up the crowd. Tell us in CBlog or tag your suggestion with #PensGoalSong on Twitter. This likely won't go anywhere and it probably won't mean anything, but we're just interested.
Hockey soon. Go Pens.

A public hearing on a referendum that could increase pension benefits for some members of the Wales Center Volunteer Fire Department has been set for 7 p.m. March 12 in Town Hall.
The public hearing will precede that evening's regular meeting of the Wales Town Board.
All property owners in the Wales fire district who are registered voters as of March 13 will be eligible to vote in the referendum from noon to 9 p.m. April 30 in the Community Center on Big Tree Road.
If approved in the referendum, volunteer firefighters over age 65 will become eligible to earn retirement benefits until they complete 20 years' service. Currently, firefighters can volunteer for as long as they wish, but their benefits are capped at age 65.
Supporters of the change say it would benefit volunteers who joined the fire company later in life and need more time to earn full benefits.
In other business:
• A new code that would broaden the description of a farm for hoofed animals is nearing completion. The present code requires at least 10 contiguous acres for such a farm; the change would eliminate the requirement that the 10 acres be contiguous.
Goat farmer Eric Beiter, whose property exceeds 10 acres but is not contiguous, asked for the change. Three new goat farms have opened in Wales since the issue arose.
A committee consisting of Supervisor Rickey Venditti, Town Attorney Ronald Bennett and Councilman Gerald Klinck is studying the change.
• A training program for town personnel on sexual harassment, workplace violations and right-to-know policies is being planned for Feb. 27 and March 23. The policies will apply to town-owned buildings such as the Community Center, Town Hall and Court House.
• The Town Board reappointed Ken Brown to a five-year term on the Conservation Advisory Board.
• The Town Board will vote next month on resolutions opposing the state's new SAFE gun-control law and opposing the elimination of plea bargaining to reduce some traffic offenses from moving violations to parking tickets.
• The board tabled a request from Meals on Wheels for a donation.
• Venditti reported that Wales and neighboring towns received a block grant to continue Rural/Transit van service for a year.
• The board approved a request for a special-use permit for a 7-Eleven store to operate at 6444 Olean Road.

Total Research Investment in Oregon Now Approaching $4 Million
Providence Cancer Center has been awarded a $450,000 Career Catalyst Research Grant by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, bringing the total number of Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer research grants in Oregon to 11, and totaling over $3.7 million. This funding was made possible, in part, because of funds the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate has sent to Komen Headquarters' for research.
This latest grant is Providence Cancer Center's third research grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This latest grant to Providence will investigate combination therapies for the treatment of HER2-positive Breast Cancer. Dr. Keith Bahjat will serve as the Principal Investigator with Fellow Dr. Jessica Shugart.
Komen Oregon/SW Washington CEO, Thomas Bruner, states "With ten women dying from breast cancer each week in Oregon alone, the need to find the cures for this devastating disease is more pressing than ever. We are delighted to partner with Providence in our urgent mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever."
Hormone receptor status is a main factor in planning breast cancer treatment. Dr. Ali Conlin, a breast cancer specialist with Providence and a member of Komen's Medical Advisory Committee, notes "While the treatment of HER-2-positive breast cancer has had many exciting developments over the last year, there is still a great need for continued exploration into strategies to combine targeted agents with all the other 'tools' we have at our disposal. This is work that will help get us another step closer to the cure!"
As Dr. Laurel Soot, Providence Regional Clinical Director of Breast Health, notes, "As federal funds from the National Institute of Health and other major government institutions have significantly declined, scientists at the Providence Cancer Center are facing a growing need for alternative funding sources. With this generous grant from Komen, we are able to conduct additional trials that will potentially improve the success of cancer treatment and positively impact the patient and their family."
Komen has sustained a strong commitment to supporting projects and programs that will identify and deliver cures for breast cancer. This commitment has resulted in important progress that has contributed to major advances in breast cancer over the past 30 years. This effort began with a single grant for $28,000 in 1982. With increasing investments over time, now totaling nearly $755 million, Komen is the largest non-government funder of breast cancer research.

The Chinese Hummer: A Threat to U.S. Security?
Is the sale of GM's Hummer brand to a Chinese buyer a threat to U.S. national security?
Considering the number of high-profile Chinese investments in the U.S. that have been knocked down by such concerns, it is natural that the question would arise.
"We have to look at this cynically," says Duncan Hunter, a freshman Republican Congressman, representing the San Diego area. "Any money that is going to China or to Chinese companies is contributing in some way to China's military buildup."
But Hummer's prospective buyer, Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industries Machinery, isn't controlled by the Chinese government, and GM's Hummer is different from the U.S. military's Humvee, which is made by Indiana's AM General, which is owned by Renco Group.
In fact, the Hummer is probably better known as the inspiration for stretch limos (left) that are popular on prom night than as a symbol of U.S. military might.
Still, Hunter says the Hummer sale would further erode the U.S. manufacturing base, while boosting the Chinese economy. "But all we can do is say, we don't like it. I am not sure what we can do" to block the sale, says Hunter, the son of well-known China critic, retired Congressman Duncan Hunter Sr.
Congress has kept mostly mum on the Hummer sale, while the WSJ article linked to above notes that the Obama administration applauded the planned sale. Congress also has been quiet about China Investment Corp.'s purchase on Tuesday of $1.2 billion in Morgan Stanley shares, returning its ownership of the U.S. bank-holding company to 9.9%
It is a far cry from the Congress of 2005, which Democrats and Republicans alike objected to Cnooc's $18.5 billion bid for Unocal, a deal that would have given a Chinese company control of a large U.S. petroleum company. (In the end, Cnooc pulled the offer.)
Lawmakers who questioned past Chinese bids for U.S. companies, such as Republican Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, didn't return calls seeking comment on the Hummer bid.
Is Washington resigned to the fact that the Chinese are a key component of propping up the U.S. economy? Or have lawmakers decided that Chinese-owned Hummers really aren't all that much of a threat?
