The SSN was created in 1936 to track workers' earnings and eligibility for Social Security (SS) benefits. Since that time, the SSN has been used for many non-SS purposes, and private sector use of the SSN has grown. This has raised concern over how this personal info. is being used and protected, esp. with the growth in electronic record keep. and the explosion of info. over the Internet, combined with a rise in identity theft. This report studied: the extent and nature of Fed., state, and county gov't. agencies' use of SSNs; the actions gov't. agencies take to safeguard SSNs from improper use; the extent and nature of Fed., state, and county governments' use of SSNs when they are in public records (PR); and the options available to safeguard SSNs when they are in PR.

In this adaptation of Washington Irving s beloved story, acclaimed painter Thomas Locker takes one of America s favorite legends and weaves in the beauty of the rugged Catskill Mountains. Rip Van Winkle, a poor farmer, is out hunting one day when he comes upon a strange company of men playing ninepins. When Rip samples their brew, he falls into a deep sleep for 20 years, eventually awaking bearded and gray in a vastly changed world. This classic tale is enhanced with the unique artistry of Locker, who has made more than 20 trips to the Catskills to study and paint the magnificent landscape in which the story is set.
