Lolita Baldor ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON As the Obama administration begins to address the failings behind the Christmas Day airliner attack, two senators said Sunday the U.S. needs to pun ish officials, correct security lapses and limit opportunities to join jihad overseas. Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and John McCain, R-Ariz., took issue with President Barack Obama’s suggestion that no one would lose his or her job over the incident. Neither called specifically for someone to be fired, and they did not name who should be disciplined. Lieberman pointed to break downs at the State Department and the National Counterterrorism Center, where he said people failed to act to identify as a threat the sus pected bomber, a young Nigerian, and revoke his visa. “At the National Counterterrorism Center, some thing went wrong,” said Lieberman, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. “So if human errors were made, I think some of the humans who made those errors have to be disciplined so that they never happen again."

State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham said the most recent sta tistics are a cause for concern in the borough. The statistics reflect that alcohol consumption has a more profound effect than people realize, she said. “What is connected to alcohol use is rowdy or inappropriate behavior,” Goreham said. “But the vast majori ty of students they’re wonderful, they’re not causing problems.” The statistics also show a gender split.

Asked whether McCain Obama should fire Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Counterterrorism Center head Michael Leiter or presidential coun terterrorism adviser John Brennan. Sen. Jon Kyi, R-Ariz., said the advis ers reflect the sentiments of the president. “I think the president was right when he said, ‘The buck stops with me.’ The problem is he can’t be fired right now,” Kyi said. ‘‘So what he's got to do is provide a sense of urgency with these people who work for him.” Other lawmakers said the US. should be more careful about releas ing detainees held at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to coun tries where al-Qaida has a presence, including Saudi Arabia. Afghanistan and Pakistan. Last week Obama suspended the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to Yemen, home to nearly half of the 198 terror suspect detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. Obama has reiterated his vow to close the camp. “We predict that these changes in policy will have a positive effect on the community,” Cartwright (junior- energy, business and finance) said.

If Penn State wants to exact revenge in 2010, it will have to do it on the road, as it travels to both lowa City, lowa and Columbus, Ohio next season. Should the Lions get back to a New Year’s bowl, there will be little question of their legitimacy thanks to a different outlook in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes and the Buckeyes both won BCS bowl games this sea son, and the Big Ten finished with a 4-3 record in bowls, its first winning postseason record since 2002. Both lowa and Ohio State will likely be top-10 teams in preseason polls. alcohol-related incidents from 2007 to 2009 was nearly double that of female students, according to the report. The proportion of male patients treated for alcohol abuse at Mount Nittany Medical Center saw a slight increase from 65 percent in 2007-08 to 66 percent in 2008-09, according to the report. Despite these numbers, Penn State students have maintained the same opinions about their alcohol consumption through 2009 when asked to identify their drinking habits, according to the report.

During the trial period, UPUA plans to make sure word gets out to students about the benefits of the added service.

"Because the evidence is clear these people are released and a number of them go back onto the battlefield." Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.. chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, agreed more care must be taken in releas ing detainees. "I agree with those that have said that Guantanamo has really been a recruiting tool for al-Qaida, that it has not been helpful to us," she said. "They come out of Gitmo and they are heroes in this world." and the tendency is for them to go back to the battlefield. In other comments. McCain.
