A few locations can experience urban-style flooding. The rain is falling along a weakening cool front. Ahead of the front, warmth will build from the Southeastern states to coastal New England. In the wake of the front, dry air is forecast to mix in and cut down on the number of showers and storms over the Missis- sippi Valley. Temperatures will recover to warm levels, where the sun emerges. Rain will extend from Washington to the Dakotas.

The reopening comes in time for the June ceremo- nies marking the centenary of the assassination that ig- nited World War I. City authorities plan to have the Vienna Philhar- monic Orchestra perform inside the building on June 28, marking 100 years since Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand von Habsburg walked out of the building and was shot dead by a Serb. It took architects and builders 18 years to find documents and photos on the building's 19th-cen- tury construction and put it back together the way it was before Serb shelling destroyed the landmark in 1992. The building had no mil- itary significance and the library ruin turned into a symbol of what Sarajevans called "urbicide" — a term they used to describe prim- itive attackers destroying cultural achievements. The reconstruction rep- resents a victory "of life over death" and a proper answer "to those who thought they could burn li- braries, kill people and de- stroy cities," Bosnian Presi- dent Bakir Izetbegovic said. EUROPE Bosnia reopens once ruined Sarajevo Library By Michael Hill The Associated Press WEST POINT, N.Y. Almost 70 years after Joseph Fed- erico was wounded and captured in the hedgerows of France, he was person- ally thanked Friday by that country's government dur- ing a heartfelt ceremony at the U.S. Military Academy. The 88-year-old Bel- videre, New Jersey, resi- dent was among 34 World War II veterans decorated as knights of France's Le- gion of Honor in a ceremony leading up to the 70th anni- versary of the D-Day land- ings that began June 6, 1944. Many honorees had white hair and stooped postures and rose slowly to have the medals pinned to their chests. But, to a man, they said the honor was welcome seven decades af- ter their service. "I'm just lucky that I'm here to get this, you know, because it was awfully tough for all of us," said Federico, who spent two months recovering from a shrapnel wound to his leg as a prisoner of war. "I lost good friends from my com- pany, and it was terrible." Federico wore his new decoration on his blazer, just below his Purple Heart. The French Legion of Honor is an order of dis- tinction established by Na- poleon Bonaparte in 1802. Hundreds of Americans have been awarded the medal in the decade since France opened eligibil- ity to living U.S. veterans who fought on French terri- tory during any of four ma- jor campaigns. But Consul General of France Bertrand Lortholary said it was im- portant to show their grat- itude at West Point in front of the cadets who will make up the next generation of U.S. officers. Lortholary told the vet- erans and their family members packed into a high-ceilinged hall over- looking the Hudson River that they will always re- member their sacrifices as well as the ones made by their comrades who rest in French soil. "Seventy years have passed since then, and yet the memory of the sacrifice of American soldiers re- mains more vivid than ever in the villages of France — in Normandy, in Provence, in the Ardennes, whose cemeteries bear witness to war's cost in life," Lorthol- ary said. "I want to tell you that your example gives us inspiration for the future." At least one cadet took time before the service to individually thank the men for their service. But 90-year-old Francis Cocca, of Green Island, seemed a bit uncomfortable with all the praise as one of the sol- diers lucky enough to make it back. "It's beyond words al- most. Very, very honored, of course," Cocca said. "I came home. I had one medal. I put it in a box and forgot it. Now look at this!"

Each completed repetition of the bench press will reduce individuals 5K times by 30 seconds. The 5K race will take place once all competitors have attempted the bench press. The 5K course will begin and finish at TFFC. The majority of the race course loops through the Hospital campus. TFFC hopes to inspire the runner to lift weights and the weight lifter to run!
