3. CHECK OUT THE NEW $100 BILLS: Ben Franklin gets a makeover, sort of, with the newly minted $100 bills, which go into circulation as of Oct. 8. The bill represents the most technologically advanced U.S. currency ever produced, according to newmoney.gov. There are two new security features - a blue security ribbon on the front of the note is 3-D and contains images of the Liberty Bell or the number "100," each in vertical rows. When the bill is moved back and forth or side to side, a row of 100s moves to the ribbon's center position, replacing a row of bells. Also, the front of the bill has a color-shifting inkwell that changes from copper to green. Also, is it me, or does Ben Franklin seem to be judging me with that look on his face?

4. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: On this day in 1775, just a few short months after commanding British soldiers during the Battle of Bunker Hill, General Sir William Howe writes to the British-appointed secretary of state for the American colonies, Lord Dartmouth, to inform him of his belief that the British army should be evacuated from Boston to Rhode Island. From there, British forces could move expeditiously to the southern colonies, without having to go around Cape Cod. As Lord Dartmouth had previously received reports that men were needed in the southern colonies from the likes of Josiah Martin, the royal governor ofNorth Carolina, and John Murray, the royal governor of South Carolina, he ordered General Howe to send officers stationed in Boston to North Carolina to assist Martin in the southern campaign.
