Before you apply for financial aid, complete the application and admission process for the Adult Degree Completion Program at Huntingdon College.
Follow this Financial Aid Checklist to apply for financial aid:
If you presently attend and receive financial aid from another institution and you desire to transfer to Huntingdon College, you must call the Federal Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 and request that an SAR (Student Aid Report) be sent to Huntingdon College (code number 001019). You will need your DRN number to complete the process over the phone. It can be found at the top of the SAR that was sent to you by the Federal government upon completion of the FAFSA. If you do not have your DRN number and cannot access it, you will need your 4 digit PIN to log into your account at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. You may then make a correction, add Huntingdon College in the school information section, and resubmit. Please be sure that you notify the financial aid office at your previous school that you do not plan to attend in the upcoming semester. This will enable them to cancel your aid at that school so that you may receive it at Huntingdon. If your previous school draws down loan or grant funds for you, even though you have left, it may delay your receipt of aid at Huntingdon.
For questions about financial aid, contact us by calling (334) 833-4518 or (888) 462-5067, or e-mail email@example.com.

ADA News
Cooperative school nurse project goes live online
Silver Spring, Md.—School nurses now have easy access to comprehensive oral health information through the National Association of School Nurses' new website, Oral Health Connections.
The ADA and the NASN teamed up in January for the project supported by the DentaQuest Foundation. A dozen health organizations also provided links, content and expertise for the website (www.oralhealthconnections.org).
The Oral Health Connections website features oral health curricula and classroom teaching tools; oral health continuing education information for nursing professionals; links to help schoolchildren find access to dental care; information to help children with special needs; and tools and resources.
"The NASN has had very positive feedback from school nurses on its new resource, the Oral Health Connections website," said Martha Bergren, D.N.S., R.N., the association's director of research. "The website provides resources to school nurses on lesson plans, continuing education and websites that link them with oral health providers and dental care for their students."
The website also offers opportunities for school nurses and other school personnel who address oral health issues to connect through an oral health forum and a Facebook group.
"Also through the oral health forum, users can share additional resources and school nurses and oral health experts can weigh in on dilemmas," Dr. Bergren added. "The Oral Health Forum is multidisciplinary and all oral health professionals are encouraged to sign up.
"NASN is grateful to DentaQuest for funding this great resource and to the American Dental Association for partnering with school nurses to improve children's oral health," said Dr. Bergren. Log on to www.oralhealthconnections.org to view the website.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The web site was very easy to use. So many beautiful products to choose from. I am the mother of the groom, so when I was planning our family shower, and then went looking for a shower invite, I did not want anything too feminine. I simply typed in coed shower and many popped up. This one was perfect because of the colors, blue and green and Mr. and Mrs. Next we have the rehearsal dinner to plan, and there are many, many beautiful ones. Must nail down date and time before I can order. Thanks"
"My sister (bride to be) was ecstatic with the design and overall look of the invitation. We surprised her with a design that is simple yet elegant. The printing was perfect. The combination of the fonts added more drama to it. Delivery was earlier than expected. It was so easy to order online and the proof reading service is effective. Will refer to friends and family and will definitely order again."
"The weight of the card and the texture of the card was surprisingly heavy, the pristine white of the card allowed the colors of the design to really pop. It felt like the print was almost elevated, the colors worked beautifully together. I am Indian and the spiral designs reflect the type of design and style found in Indian fabrics and outfits. Everyone keeps telling me how much they love the design!! The only thing I would have done differently is make the light green color font a little darker, it printed a little too light and is hard to read."
"Everyone including the bride-to-be loved this invite. Get the designer review! It's free & well worth the extra day. The designer that reviewed my invite did an absolutely excellent job! It really made a difference in how the invite looked. I highly recommend these invites."
"This product could not be any better! I purchased the larger rectangle envelopes because they did not require extra postage. I was worried it wouldn't look right, but the evnvelopes are specially designed to fit the invitation."

A metastatic brain tumor
is cancer that started in another part of the body and spread to the brain.
Brain tumor - metastatic (secondary); Cancer - brain tumor (metastatic)
Many tumor or cancer types can spread to the brain. The most common are:
Some types of cancers rarely spread to the brain, such as colon cancer or prostate cancer.
Growing brain tumors may place pressure on nearby parts of the brain. Brain swelling due to these tumors also causes increased pressure within the skull
Brain tumors that spread are classified based on the location of the tumor in the brain, the type of tissue involved, the original location of the tumor, and other factors. Rarely, a tumor can spread to the brain from an unknown location. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin.
Metastatic brain tumors occur in about one-fourth of all cancers that spread through the body. They are much more common than primary brain tumors
(tumors that start in the brain) and occur in 10 - 30% of adult cancers.
Note: Specific symptoms vary. The symptoms commonly seen with most types of metastatic brain tumor are those caused by increased pressure in the brain.
An examination shows brain and nervous system (neurologic) changes based on where the tumor is located in the brain. Signs of increased pressure in the skull are also common. Some tumors may not show signs until they are very large. Then, they cause a very quick decline in nervous system function.
The original (primary) tumor may be found by examining tumor tissues from the brain.
Tests may include:
Treatment depends on the size and type of the tumor, from where in the body it spread, and the patient's general health. The goals of treatment may be to relieve symptoms, improve functioning, or provide comfort.
to the whole brain is often used to treat tumors that have spread to the brain, especially if there is more than one tumor.
Surgery may be used for metastatic brain tumors when there is a single tumor and the cancer hasn't spread to other parts of the body. Some tumors may be completely removed. Tumors that are deep or that extend into brain tissue may be debulked (reduced in size).
Surgery may reduce pressure and relieve symptoms in cases when the tumor cannot be removed.
Chemotherapy for metastatic brain tumors is not as helpful as surgery or radiation.
Stereotactic radiosurgery
is used at some hospitals. This form of radiation therapy focuses high-powered x-rays on a small area of the brain.
Medications for brain tumor symptoms may include:
When the cancer has spread, treatment may focus on relieving pain and other symptoms. This is called palliative or supportive care.
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other treatments may improve the patient's quality of life. Some people may want to get legal advice to help them create advanced directives, such as a power of attorney
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See: Cancer - support group
In general, the outcome is fairly poor. For many people with metastatic brain tumors, the cancer is not curable. It will eventually spread to other areas of the body. Death often occurs within 2 years.
Call your health care provider if you develop a persistent headache that is new or different for you.
Call your provider or go to the emergency room if you or someone else suddenly develops stupor
, vision changes, or speech impairment, or has seizures
that are new or different.

Allegheny College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college in northwestern Pennsylvania in the town of Meadville, approximately 35 miles (56 km) south of Erie.3 Founded in 1815, Allegheny is the oldest college in continuous existence under the same name west of the Allegheny Mountains.4 Allegheny is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association and the North Coast Athletic Conference, and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCH). In Spring 2012, U.S. News ranked Allegheny as the #1 up-and-coming national liberal arts college.5

Early history
Allegheny was founded in April 181567 by the Reverend Timothy Alden, a graduate of Harvard's School of Divinity. The college was historically affiliated with the United Methodist Church after 1833, although it is currently non-sectarian.
The first class, consisting of four male students, began their studies on July 4, 1816, without any formal academic buildings. Within six years, Alden accumulated sufficient funds to begin building a campus. The first building erected, the library, was designed by Alden himself, and is a notable example of early American architecture. Bentley Hall is named in honor of Dr. William Bentley, who donated his private library to the College, a collection of considerable value and significance. In 1824, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Alden, expressing the hope that his University of Virginia could someday possess the richness of Allegheny's library.8 Alden served as president of the college until 1831, when financial and enrollment difficulties forced his resignation. Ruter Hall was built in 1853.9
Allegheny began admitting women in 1870,10 early for a US college; a woman was valedictorian of the Allegheny class of 1875.10 One source suggests that Ida Tarbell, the pioneering journalist who exposed the predatory practices of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, was the first woman to attend Allegheny.11
In 1905, Allegheny built Alden Hall as a new and improved preparatory school.6
Over the decades, the college has grown in size and significance while still maintaining ties to the community.
Recent history
In 1971 the film Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me based on the Richard Farina novel was filmed on college grounds.1213
While the word "Allegheny" is a brand for the college, it is also the name of a county, a river, and a mountain range, and the school has tried to prevent other entities from using this word. For example, Allegheny objected in 2006 when Penn State tried to rename one of its campuses "Allegheny".1415 Allegheny president Richard Cook said 'Allegheny' was "our brand."14 It sued the Philadelphia's Allegheny Health and Research Foundation in 1997 to change its name.16
Under president Richard J. Cook, Allegheny was reported to have had a "stronger endowment, optimal enrollment, record retention rates, innovative new programs and many physical campus improvements."17 These years were marked by tremendous growth in the endowment, marked by a $115-million fund-raising drive, bringing the endowment to $150 million.1819 In February 2008, James H. Mullen Jr. was named the 21st president of Allegheny. He took office Aug. 1, 2008.20
The college and the town cooperate in many ways. One study suggested the Allegheny College generates approximately $93 million annually into Meadville and the local economy.21 Since 2002, Allegheny hosts classical music festivals during the summer.22 In October 2006, the college attracted negative publicity after local enforcement cited over 100 people for underage drinking at a college party.23 In July 2007, a 1,500-pound wrecking ball demolishing part of Allegheny's Pelletier library broke its chain, rumbled down the hill, careened "back and forth across the street," hit nine parked cars, wrecked curbs, and crashed into the trunk of an Allegheny student's car, pushing his car into two cars in front of him.2425 Eight soccer balls in his car "likely lessened the impact of the wrecking ball," and possibly spared his life, according to a police officer on the scene.2426 The student body voted to name the library's coffee shop "The Wrecking Ball" after the event.
The college has sponsored panels on unusual topics such as face transplants (2009).27 Allegheny professors have joined highly visible initiatives; for example, Allegheny professor Michael Maniates, described as the "nation's leading authority on the politics of consumption," joined the board of a project about the twenty-minute film The Story of Stuff by filmmaker Annie Leonard, and generated headlines.28 Dr. Maniates said "We really need to think of ways of making it possible for people to think about working less and getting by on less."29 At present, environmental concerns are important at Allegheny, which in 2008 worked with Siemens to devise a "total energy use reduction plan" for the college.30
The campus has 40 principal buildings on a 79-acre (32 ha) central campus, a 203-acre (0.82 km2) outdoor recreational complex, and a 283-acre (115 ha) nature reserve and protected forest.31
- The Pelletier Library (in 2008) had 922,540 volumes (491,284 microform titles).2 Another estimate was that the library had 420,000 bound volumes, 227,000 microform titles, 1,000 periodicals, and 261,000 U.S. government and Pennsylvania state documents.3 The library has noteworthy Americana and Ida Tarbell collections.3 A computer lab, audiovisual center, and music listening system are there too.3 It is named after past president Lawrence L. Pelletier who served from 1955 to 1980.22 The Learning Commons, which is located in Pelletier Library, assists students with writing, research, public speaking and study skills, and also offers disability services.
- Newton Observatory houses a nine-inch refracting telescope and a computer-interfaced 10-inch Meade LX200 telescope with CCD camera.32
- The Allegheny College Center for Experiential Learning or ACCEL coordinates career internships, off-campus study programs, service-learning, pre-professional advising, and leadership development.2
- A Counseling Center offers guidance for students in adjusting to student life.2
- Winslow Health Center is staffed by a registered nurse and offers routine diagnosis and treatment; "when necessary, students are referred to specialists in Meadville" – it's located in Schultz Hall.2
- The main dining facility is in Brooks Hall, and students can also dine at McKinley's Food Court in the campus center. There have been efforts by students to support the relationship between food services and local farmers.33 Allegheny won a $79,545 grant in May 2009 to buy equipment to help with composting food waste, including a shredder mill, screening plant, conveyor, skid-steer loader and leaf collection system.34
- A newly built Vukovich Center for Communication Arts featuring a garden roof for energy efficiency and beauty was completed in 2008 at a cost of $23 million.3536 Robert Vukovich (1965) and Laura Vukovich made a substantial donation of $22 million in February 2001, part of which was used to construct the building.3637 Allegheny has its own cable TV channels and a state-of-the-art television studio.3
- The Center for Political Participation was founded at Allegheny in 2002 by political science professor Daniel M. Shea, following concerns about low youth voter turnout in the 2000 election.38 The CPP conducts scholarly research related to youth political participation; sponsors on-campus events related to politics and the electoral process, such as panel discussions; and conducts community-outreach efforts, including the Model Campaign USA program, a campaign simulation designed to get high school students interested in electoral politics.
- Henderson Campus Center was recently renovated and includes McKinley's food court, the bookstore, the game room, Grounds for Change—the student-run coffee house, the post office, and campus offices of College departments as well as student organizations.39 Also included in the Henderson Campus Center are the Bowman, Penelac & Megahan Art Galleries.3 Allegheny has auctioned art at times to raise money to renovate other projects, such as the college's Doane School of Art.40
- Sports facilities include the $13 million David V. Wise Sport & Fitness Center, which opened in 1997.3
- A Women's Center was established in 2003 to be a resource for research on gender issues and women's history.41
- The college established the Center for Economic and Environmental Development in 1997.42
Prospective students
A profile of entering freshmen is three quarters of students were in the top quarter of their high school class; SATs (critical reading and math) were 1130–1320; ACT scores (middle 50%) were 24–28.43 Forbes reported SATs ranged from 1110 to 1310.44 The acceptance rate in Fall 2011 was 57.6%.45
US News and World Report described Allegheny as an "innovative" and "up and coming" Tier 1 liberal arts school, and ranked it 82nd among 266 liberal arts colleges in the United States in 2012,46 an improvement from a previous rank of 94.47 In 2012, US News ranked Allegheny College as the nation's #1 "up and coming" liberal arts school.5
Washington Monthly ranked Allegheny 24th among liberal arts colleges in 2013.48 Washington Monthly rates schools based on the degree to which they "contribute to the public good" by improving social mobility, producing research and promoting service.49
In 2012, The Daily Beast ranked Allegheny as the nation's 20th most academically-rigorous school.50
The Princeton Review ranked Allegheny among the top 322 green colleges in the United States and Canada in its 2013 Guide to Green Colleges.51
Forbes ranked Allegheny 127th out of the best 610 four-year colleges and universities in the United States.44 The Forbes assessment uses different criteria to assess schools, including listing of alumni who make the "Who's Who in America", alumni salaries from Payscale.com, student evaluations from Ratemyprofessors.com, and four-year debt load for typical student borrowers, and weights results according to these and other factors.52
Allegheny has a first-time student retention rate of 87% and a four-year graduation rate of 76%.53
Costs and financial aid
Tuition and fees for the 2013–2014 year total $37,610; room and board is $9,540.31 In 2011–2012, 86 percent of applicants for financial aid received aid; the average financial aid award was $31,716.54 US News reported that as of 2012–13, 70.8 percent of all full-time Allegheny undergraduates receive some form of need-based financial aid, and the average award is $22,848.55
Parents of incoming first-year students are advised by the college to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA; Allegheny's school code is 003230.56 Different scholarships are available as well as loan options.56 It is possible for parents to pay in ten equal installments.57
Allegheny uses inducements such as scholarships and discounts to attract students.58 Many "merit aid" discounts are offered regardless of ability to pay.58 Extensive merit aid is available up to $80,000 for four years of study.31
There was concern in October 2008 that a credit crunch would make it harder for students to get private loans, but Allegheny joined the Federal Direct Loan Program allowing students to get funds directly from the U.S. government, and one report suggested the impact of the credit crunch was minimal.59
A report in 2006 suggested that 78% of Allegheny graduates would carry debt averaging at $24,825.60
Humanities include Art, Communication Arts, Dance and Movement Studies, English, Modern and Classical Languages (includes Chinese, French, German, Latin, and Spanish), Music, Philosophy and Religious Studies.4661
Natural Sciences include Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Physics.4661

Students may also choose to double-major or double-minor if they have sufficient credits.
Allegheny is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).7
About 30% of the school's 2,100 students graduate in one of the "STEM" disciplines—science, technology, engineering, and math.62 Allegheny does not have any Reserve Officer Training Programs or ROTC, for Air Force, Army or Navy.63 The student to faculty ratio was 13 to 1.44 There were approximately 162 active faculty members (not counting adjunct faculty or faculty emeriti) in 2008.2
Calendar year
Allegheny's academic calendar is divided into two 15-week semesters. The school year typically runs from the last week of August to mid-May, with a short fall break in mid-October, a Wednesday-to-Sunday Thanksgiving break, a month-long winter break from mid-December to mid-January, and a week-long spring break in the third week of March.64 The 2013–2014 academic calendar will run from August 24 through May 10.65
Requirements for degrees
Allegheny requires students to choose a minor as well as a major66 and encourages "unusual combinations" of majors and minors.66 A student's major can be in the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences, but that student's minor must be in a different division than his or her major.6266 A reporter explained: "a student enrolled in a humanities major such as English, art, or religious studies, would still take 20 to 24 credits – five to six courses – of science-related study if they decided to pick their minor within the natural sciences division ... Even if they don't, they still are required to pick two courses from within the natural science areas. One of those science courses must be a lab class."62 The interdisciplinary approach is reflected in how graduates have fared with their careers. For example, Kathleen Harrill earned degrees in music and psychology at Allegheny, and used them to become a music therapist to help autistic children; her 300-page thesis on music and healing won recognition.67 Another graduate studied both English and bioethics at Allegheny, and became a lawyer at Bayer corporation helping to work on ethics and compliance issues.68 One student who wanted to become a special education teacher found a new love of documentary filmmaking after majoring in communication arts; her senior film "Finding Matty's Voice" won the Best Documentary and Grand Jury prizes at the Ivy Film Festival at Brown University in 2008.69 There is some debate at Allegheny about requiring scientific-related coursework and whether there should be an emphasis on "scientific literacy".62
Allegheny students must complete a minimum of 36 semester credit hours of coursework in their major with an average grade of 2.0.70 Satisfactory completion of a minor requires completion of 20 credits of coursework with a minimum grade average of 2.0.70 In addition, students must take at least two courses (8 semester credit hours) in a discipline other than their major or minor.70 Total credits for graduation are 128 semester credit hours, and no more than 64 credit hours can be from any one department.70 Almost all courses carry four semester hours of credit.61
All students are required to take a three-seminar series which "encourages careful listening and reading, thoughtful speaking and writing, and reflective academic planning and self-exploration," to be completed in their first two years.71 Sophomores typically meet with faculty advisers eight times a year.72
Allegheny seniors are required to complete a senior project in their major.70 Some senior projects can be quite ambitious; in 2007, one senior project involved comprehensive instructions for installing solar panels on the roof of a campus building.73
Study abroad
Allegheny offers direct enrollment programs at Lancaster University, England; James Cook University, Australia; University of Natal, South Africa; Capital Normal University, China; and Karls-Eberhard University, Germany.3 It offers language and area studies programs in Seville, Spain; Angers, France; Karls-Eberhard University, Germany; and Querétaro, Mexico.3 It offers internship programs in London, England; Paris, France; and Washington D.C.3 Programs geared to specific majors are also available, including environmental studies at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, Israel; and the Center for Sustainable Development, Costa Rica; marine biology at the Duke University Marine Lab in North Carolina; and political science at American University.3 Allegheny faculty members have led domestic summer-study tours to New York, Yellowstone, Austria, Costa Rica, and South Africa.3 Individually arranged study abroad has taken students to Argentina, Canada (Nova Scotia), China, Cuba, Greece, Italy, Mexico, and Scotland.3
Cooperative and reciprocal programs
Allegheny has medical school cooperative programs available with three institutions: Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Drexel University74 and Jefferson Medical College. Allegheny offers pre-professional programs in law and health.2 It has an arrangement with Drexel University College of Medicine to admit two Allegheny students who meet specific criteria (grades, MCAT scores).2 It has an arrangement with the William E. Simon School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester to have preferred admission to selected students by the end of their junior year.272 Allegheny offers cooperative 3–2 liberal arts/professional programs in engineering with Case Western Reserve University, Columbia University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Washington University.3 There is also a 3–2 Master of Information Systems Management (MISM) program reciprocal agreement with Carnegie Mellon University.
Four faculty won Fulbright awards in March 2001.75 Faculty sometimes focus on the local area; for example, economics professor Stephen Onyeiwu conducted a study of manufacturing in the northwestern Pennsylvania region.76 Ninety percent of faculty have terminal degrees in their respective fields.3 Books by faculty include Congressional Women and Comedy from Shakespeare to Sheridan.3 A literary prize was won by Allegheny writing instructor Kirk Nesset for his collection "Paradise Road" in 2007.73 Faculty actively publish on a wide range of subjects from the biology of woodpeckers,37 to structural features of ribosomal RNA,19 to freshwater invertebrates.40
Student life
Students generally are required to live on campus for all four years, and may reside in traditional dormitories, apartment-style housing, or college-owned houses.31 The demographic breakdown of students (2007 statistics) were white non-Hispanic 2,005; black non-Hispanic 35; Hispanic 28; Asian & Pacific Islander 62; American Indian or Alaskan native 8; non-resident immigrant 27.77 Allegheny students come from 33 states and 25 other countries.3 Allegheny had a "diversity index" of .15 on a scale of .99=extremely diverse to .01=not diverse.78
Students participate in volunteer activities: in the fall semester of 2011, the student body contributed 25,000 hours of volunteer service to the community.79 Some Allegheny students volunteered to help restore businesses in hurricane-ravished New Orleans.80 Residence halls and classrooms are closed during summers.2 An Allegheny Student Government has an active role in formulating college policy, curriculum choices, personal conduct, promoting cultural programs, and making decisions about the school's calendar.3
Information about students is generally kept private in keeping with the 1974 "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act" which prohibits colleges from releasing information about their students without student permission.81 Accordingly, parents can not learn about their son's or daughter's grades unless a waiver is signed permitting release of such information. The privacy policy can sometimes lead to problems, particularly when students have mental health problems but the school is prevented legally from contacting parents. In 2002, one Allegheny student committed suicide, and his parents sued the school; a jury in 2006 found that the school was not liable or negligent.81 This case helped focus national attention on the competing issues of student privacy and parental rights.82
Campus security includes 24-hour foot and vehicle patrols, late night escort service, lighted pathways and sidewalks, controlled residence hall access, and 24-hour emergency telephones.63 Health service is offered.63 Despite proximity to the snowbelt, snow rarely shuts down the town of Meadville or the college.83
Official college policy is to discourage underage (less than 21 years) drinking, although there have been incidents of violations at off-campus parties.84 Incoming students are required to take an online course about the dangers of alcohol abuse.84 The school punishes transgressions with disciplinary action.84
Students run a campus radio station WARC-FM44 and a publication called "The Allegheny Review" of undergraduate literature.85 The college hosts outside speakers.86 Allegheny has numerous student groups and organizations such as an astronomy club, a College Choir, an Outing Club, and a Peace Coalition.86 There are over 100 clubs and organizations offered at Allegheny.3 The Allegheny newspaper is called The Campus. It is distributed weekly at locations all over the college. It covers campus news, features, opinion and a wrap-up of the college sports. The Campus is entirely student-run, with an editorial board of students in charge of making all executive decisions for the publication. The Allegheny alternative magazine is called Overkill. It is tri-semester student publication distributed in unconventional locations around campus, such as in vending machines, fireplaces, and chandeliers. It features student editorials, poetry, non-fiction and fiction pieces, art, and photography with a highly distinctive design and attitude.
Allegheny has welcomed a variety of entertainers and guest speakers over the last several years including John Updike, Dave Matthews, Dick Cheney,87 Bill Clinton,88 W.D. Snodgrass, Adam Sandler, George Carlin, The Vienna Choir Boys, Rusted Root, Ben Folds, The Roots, Stephen Lynch, The Fray, Jimmy Fallon,83 and comedian Wayne Brady.89 There have been "live" art shows in which invited artists, over an eight-hour period, created 10-by-10-foot "drawings" on gallery walls while spectators watched.90

One tradition is that a female student is not a "real co-ed" until she's been kissed on the thirteenth plank of the Rustic bridge over the stream.100101 Legend states that there is a competition among residence halls during Orientation Week to steal the thirteenth plank and display it, though this rarely happens today;101 random students take the plank instead, with maintenance keeping a supply of replacement planks on hand.100
Fraternities and sororities
Allegheny College also has a number of fraternities and sororities on campus. These include Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, and Alpha Chi Omega for the sororities.

Global corporate deals nearly half of 2007 total
|0 Comments
The value of mergers and acquisitions deals around the world in 2012 was nearly half the amount made five years ago, when the financial crisis first bared its teeth, a leading accounting and consulting firm said Wednesday.
Despite big deals such as Rosneft's takeover of fellow Russian oil company TNK-BP for a projected $54.5 billion, and Glencore International PLC's $45.8 billion acquisition of miner Xstrata PLC, Ernst & Young is forecasting that the value of global M&A was 47 percent lower in 2012 at $2.25 trillion, against 2007's $4.3 trillion. The company noted a shift in activity from developed economies to high-growth ones in Asia and Latin America the value of deals in the U.S. halved while those in China doubled.
There were a little under 37,000 deals worldwide, around 9,000 less than in 2007, when many companies took part in a feverish bout of deal-making, many of which proved to be too costly for the companies to bear. Much of the blame for Royal Bank of Scotland PLC's near-collapse in 2008, which eventually required a government bailout, was due to its over-priced purchase of a large chunk of Dutch bank ABN Amro the year before.
The excess of corporate deals in 2007 contributed to the near freezing of credit markets that year and paved the way for the global banking crisis in 2008 and the subsequent global recession.
However, Ernst & Young said this year's slump in corporate activity was mainly due to the uncertainty created by the debt crisis afflicting the 17 European Union countries that use the euro as well as fears over the impending "fiscal cliff" of automatic spending cuts and tax increases in the U.S.
"Acute caution was the prevailing M&A sentiment in 2012," said Pip McCrostie, global head of Ernst & Young's M&A division. "The eurozone crisis continues to impact 9 global companies in every 10 and in 2012 we saw its impact reduce the appetite for M&A, even in many formerly deal-hungry emerging markets. Limited deal activity will likely continue through 2013, especially if we don't see a clear, long term resolution to the fiscal cliff."
One clear consequence of the eurozone debt crisis in Europe has been to lower the currency bloc's share of the deals that do take place. In 2007, the eurozone accounted for around 21 percent of the global value of M&A. That's now down at 11 percent.
While the eurozone has suffered, the so-called BRIC countries the fast-growing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China are filling the gap. They accounted for 15 percent of the global M&A market in 2012, more than double 2007's rate of just 7 percent.
Even if the rapid growth of the BRIC countries over the previous few years wasn't fully sustained in 2012, the global M&A landscape has transformed over the past five years. Since 2007, the value of China's M&A market has doubled, while that of the U.S. has halved, Ernst & Young found.
"China's growing global economic influence, along with the other emerging economies, has been a re-occurring narrative over the past decade," said McCrostie. "Now the numbers tell their own story the shift in the balance of M&A power has accelerated since the financial crisis and it will likely become even more pronounced in 2013."

The originality is strong in this one.
His creōgen density must be off the scale!
Iriesia: "Noldere, what does the scouter say about his creōgen density?"
Noldere: "It's over- wait, how the hell did you get here and what scouter are you referring to anyway. This better not be some lame DBZ joke."
Iriesia: "Like the Star Wars reference was any better."
The two leave, their argument surely descending into an all out brawl.
This lame message was brought to you by the letter 'M'.

The city formed this task force after a March 2010 incident involving a Phoenix Police officer and Councilman Michael Johnson brought to the surface feelings and perspectives about the Phoenix Police Department and its interactions with the community.
Select the video on this page to get more information on how the task force came about.
The task force consisted of approximately 33 members representing a cross-section of our community and was chaired by then Assistant City Manager Ed Zuercher and Assistant Police Chief Jeri Williams, and facilitated by Equal Opportunity Department Director Lionel Lions. A representative of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Relations Services, Ron Wakabayashi, observed task force sessions and offered advice and input from his experiences with the DOJ.
The task force met from from April to November 2010 to develop a plan to implement short-term, intermediate, and long-term strategies and programs to address officer training, communication, community policing and public outreach.
The Community Engagement and Outreach Task Force report (PDF) and recommendations were presented to and approved by the Phoenix City Council on Jan. 11, 2011.
The recommendations also called for the establishment of the Community Engagement and Outreach Implementation Team, which was approved by the Phoenix City Council, to assure that the Task Force recommendations were implemented.
Though the task force has been sunset, in these pages you will still find information such as task force:

Founded 1960 * The Original Hypertext Project

The computer world is not just technicality and razzle-dazzle. It is a continual war over software politics and paradigms. With ideas which are still radical, WE FIGHT ON.
Project Xanadu is a much-misunderstood initiative to create a different kind of computer world, based on a different kind of electronic document. (Conventional electronic documents-- PDF, Word, HTML-- simulate paper and are built around the concept of printout. Xanadu documents go where no printout can.)CONCEPT.Flying pages! Deep interconnection! Parallel intercomparison! All content connected to its original sources! And much more.(For technical matters, see below.)
DEMO.See our latest prototype on YouTube--HISTORY.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En_2T7KH6RAWe came up with the idea of world-wide hypertext, and indirect documents, in 1960. It turned out that these ideas displeased many people.TECHNICAL CONCEPT: Indirect Documents
Two major corporations made commitments to our system (Datapoint in 1982, Autodesk in 1988) but they were shot down by politics and infighting.
There have been four serious implementations--- Hypertyper, 1972 (reached prototype)Gold and Green were fouled by politics and infighting.
- Xanadu Green, 1979 (reached prototype)
- Xanadu Gold, 1992
- XanaduSpace, 2008 (reached prototype)
A mean-spirited personal attack on us in Wired magazine, discussing none of the concepts, fooled many people and still lingers in the air.We can state the method several different ways:- Indirect documents. Instead of packaging the content in a file, point to the parts on the net and bring them in from their original sources.
- Separate content from structure. The source content of xanadocs (text, audio, video) stay published. They may be simultaneously used in many ways, which stay interconnected.
- Leave the content where it is. To edit a movie by our method, you make a file of pointers. The user's client brings in the separate shots from wherever they are, assembles and shows them. This has the advantage of allowing many different uses of the same content, with links and overlays that can be used by many documents, since they all use the same addresses.The simplest technical description is hither.
The current specification (Xanadu Purple) is hither. This dumbs down the rich addressing and capabilities of the earlier design.
An exhaustive technical description of Xanadu Green can be found in the book Literary Machines.
