SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — BlackBerry retreated on Wednesday after an analyst downgraded the stock on signs that consumer demand for its new devices remained tepid.
Top Tickers Trending
$BBRY: BlackBerry /quotes/zigman/19622165/delayed/quotes/nls/bbry BBRY -3.72% shares declined 4.4%. The stock was lowered to underperform—equivalent to a sell rating—from market perform at Bernstein Research.
"We expect RIM to miss consensus expectations for the [second half]. Our latest channel checks suggest consumer takeup is slow, in line with the weak Google search level. We also see increased risk of a slow and partial adoption of BB10 in the corporate [space]," Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at Bernstein, wrote in a report.
Fed outlook: an economist's take
If the FOMC could be summed up in one take, it would be that Federal Reserve policy shifts will remain data-driven and nothing is predetermined, according to Mesirow Financial's Diane Swonk.
BlackBerry closed at $14.18 on Wednesday, below its 50-day moving average of $14.53 .
$FB: Facebook Inc. /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -2.68% is attracting attention after a report in a Korean newspaper that Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg approached executives at Samsung Electronics Co. /quotes/zigman/189457/realtime KR:005930 -2.12% to make a Facebook-friendly phone but was rejected. "Samsung doesn't want to help nurture a second Google /quotes/zigman/93888/delayed/quotes/nls/goog GOOG -0.96% , which is now becoming a formidable rival for Samsung in the handset business," the Korea Herald said, citing unnamed sources. Shares of Facebook were up 0.4%.
$MW: Men's Wearhouse Inc. /quotes/zigman/233713/delayed/quotes/nls/mw MW +4.71% shares lost 1.2%. The clothing retailer fired George Zimmer as executive chairman. Zimmer is known for his "You're going to like the way you look—I guarantee it" line at the end of Men's Wearhouse commercials.
$TSLA: Tesla Motors Inc. /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed/quotes/nls/tsla TSLA -1.85% said it would recall about 800 Model S cars due to concerns over a mounting bracket. Chief Executive Elon Musk noted the action wasn't prompted by injuries or complaints. Deliveries of Tesla's Model S electric cars helped the company post its first-ever quarterly profit in May. Shares of Tesla recovered from premarket losses to close up 1.3%.
Petrosonic Energy Inc. /quotes/zigman/12888469/delayed/quotes/nls/pson PSON -9.65% , an oil-technology company based in Calgary, Canada, sank 19% following an exclusive MarketWatch report that it paid a well-known money manager Tobin Smith to endorse the stock.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. /quotes/zigman/77392/delayed/quotes/nls/regn REGN -0.13% shares slid 4.7%, among the biggest losers in the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.51% . Analysts at Jefferies identified Regeneron, along with Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. /quotes/zigman/59581/delayed/quotes/nls/alxn ALXN -2.25% , as one of seven companies with sufficient market cap that could potentially buy Elan Corp. . The Ireland-based biotechnology company last week said it is proceeding with a formal sale process.
Shares of Sprint Nextel /quotes/zigman/18855261/delayed/quotes/nls/s S +0.80% shed 4.4%, one of the worst laggards in the S&P 500. Dish /quotes/zigman/109220/delayed/quotes/nls/dish DISH +1.35% said it would be "impracticable" to meet a deadline set by Sprint for a final buyout offer, which was prompted when SoftBank /quotes/zigman/139194/realtime JP:9984 -3.86% made a bid of $21.6 billion last week. While still remaining in the contest, Dish said it would focus on buying a stake in Clearwire Corp. . Shares of Dish rose 0.5%.
Don't look now, but there's some bipartisan agreement in Washington over taxes.
Tetra Tech Inc. /quotes/zigman/79083/delayed/quotes/nls/ttek TTEK +2.12% shares slumped 14%. The company lowered its outlook for the fiscal third quarter — now expecting a per-share loss of 30 cents to 50 cents compared with earlier estimates of a profit — and authorized a stock-buyback program.
Adobe Systems Inc. /quotes/zigman/67665/delayed/quotes/nls/adbe ADBE -0.84% gained 5.6%. The company late Tuesday said its fiscal second-quarter profit and revenue fell but adjusted earnings beat estimates.

"Regulations are just words written on paper," said union President Cecil Roberts. "To become something that is followed -- something that saves lives -- they have to be enforced.
"We believe the current leadership of the Department of Labor and MSHA will use these tools," Roberts said. "But who's to say what may happen under a future leadership?"
MSHA projected that its proposed changes would help avoid 150 mining injuries per year, at an estimated economic savings of $9.3 million annually. That's compared to estimated costs to the industry and the agency of $5.1 million per year.
Congress created the pattern-of-violations program in 1977, after finding that repeated citations and fines by federal inspectors weren't enough to improve safety performance and prevent a series of explosions that killed 23 miners and three inspectors at the Scotia Mine in Kentucky in March 1976.
Under the program, mines with a history of serious safety problems are kicked into a tougher enforcement bracket. Each time an additional serious citation is issued, that part of the mine is closed. Mines can have the pattern-of-violations designation lifted only if they go an entire quarterly inspection without a serious violation.
Even before Upper Big Branch, Main and other MSHA officials were complaining to Congress that mine operators were thwarting the process by appealing most of their serious violations, taking advantage of a 1990 MSHA rule that exempted citations that were under appeal from consideration in the process.
After the disaster, MSHA pushed this narrative by going public with claims that the agency was unable to put the Upper Big Branch Mine on a pattern-of-violations order because Massey Energy had aggressively appealed citations. A few days later, MSHA admitted that an agency "computer programming error" that missed eight final enforcement orders was actually to blame for its lack of action at Upper Big Branch.
In the more than 30 years since Congress created the POV program, MSHA has never successfully put a single mining operation on a pattern-of-violations status. Late last year, lawmakers in Congress declined to move forward with Obama administration-backed legislation for a more detailed overhaul of the POV statute.

The Asus VivoBook Smart ME400 does Win 8 for under $500 Video
The Asus VivoBook Smart ME400 does Win 8 for under $500 Video Transcript
-I' m Dan Ackerman and we are here taking a look at the ASUS Vivo Tab ME400 yet another in a seemingly endless line of Windows 8 tablet/laptop hybrids. Like a lot of the other recent ones we've looked at, this is an Intel Atom system which means that it's got a lot less power under the hood than a Core i5 tablet like the Microsoft Surface Pro, but it's also a lot less expensive like most of the Intel Atom tablets we've seen. The base unit here, which is just the tablet, the 10-inch touchscreen tablet, starts at $499 and then you can add accessories. In this case, it's this detachable keyboard. It's actually just totally detached. It doesn't even clip on. And a little cover that kind of folds the tablet in together. So, when you put those two on, that's another $130 which means that you're spending more than let's say entry-level for an iPad, but you do get the full Windows 8 operating system. Since most of these Windows 8 Intel Atom tablets perform around the same, it really comes down to which tablet style you like and what sort of keyboard you want. Some of them have clip-on keyboard. Some of them have totally detached ones like this. Some of them don't really have custom keyboards available at all. I really like the concept of the separate little super thin keyboard with the touchpad and the little smart cover. It's little confusing to figure out at first, but then I got the hang of it. This cover folds up here, almost origami style. You take the keyboard when you're done with it. You slip it right on top of the screen. It matches right up and then you fold this up here and then you've got a nice little package ready to go with you. Now, when you're ready to actually unfold it again, you put it down, open up the cover, take your keyboard out. This is where it got a little bit tricky for me. You fold this back here and then you have to figure out exactly the right way to fold it. It took me a couple of tries. Now, I think I finally got it down. So it makes sort of a stand for the tablet and then you just push your bluetooth keyboard right in front of it. Now, these Intel Atom processor tablets, they're not gonna play games. They can do HD video streaming just fine. Apps that are really designed to work well with the Atom or Windows 8 like IE10 and Netflix tend to work fine. The big trade-off you're making is less processing power, but more battery life. We got about eight and a half hours out of this guy which is certainly enough for a full day. Although with the small 10-inch screen and the low 1366 x 768 screen resolution, this may not be enough muscle to be your full-time, everyday, all-day computer. This is more of a secondary or travel system. I'm Dan Ackerman and that is the ASUS Vivo Tab ME400.

North Philadelphia, nicknamed North Philly, is a section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is immediately north of Center City. Though the full extent of the region is somewhat vague, "North Philadelphia" is sometimes regarded, especially by people with little familiarity with Philadelphia neighborhoods, as everything north of either Vine Street or Spring Garden Street, between Northwest Philadelphia and Northeast Philadelphia. It is bordered to the north by Cheltenham Township along Cheltenham Avenue, Spring Garden Street to the south, 35th Street to the west, and Adams Avenue to the east. The Philadelphia Police Department patrols six districts located within North Philadelphia: the 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 35th, and 39th districts.[1] There are six zip codes for North Philadelphia: 19132, 19133, 19121, 19122, 19130 and 19123.
The city government views this sprawling chunk of Philadelphia more precisely as three smaller districts, drawn up by the Redevelopment Authority in 1964. These regions are (from north to south) Olney-Oak Lane, Upper North Philadelphia, and Lower North Philadelphia. Olney-Oak Lane is sometimes considered to be separate from North Philadelphia entirely because of their unique architecture, culture and differing patterns of development. Other sections of North Philadelphia include Brewerytown, Fairhill, Fairmount, Fishtown, Francisville, Franklinville, Glenwood, Hartranft, Northern Liberties, Poplar, Sharswood, Strawberry Mansion, Yorktown.
Historically, the section was home to a large Irish American population. However, in past decades, North Philadelphia was hit hard by economic decline. The majority of North Philadelphia's residents are now African Americans and Hispanic Americans. Despite its wealth of history, schools, cultural sites, parkland, architecture, and other holdovers from more prosperous times, unfettered poverty has earned North Philadelphia a reputation as a slum. At the same time, some would counter that it is far more diverse an area, and thus too large to stereotype. From the Puerto Rican communities in Hunting Park, West Kensington, and Fairhill to the middle class African American neighborhoods around the Oak Lanes to the poor ghettos that typify much of its core to newly gentrifying Brewerytown, a large portion of Philadelphians call this section home. North Philadelphia has had a great impact on the diversity of nearby Cheltenham Township.
Early history[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2009) |
Prior to its incorporation into the city proper, North Philadelphia was little more than a collection of primarily agricultural townships above the original City of Philadelphia. In the 18th century, as Philadelphia grew in importance and, consequently, population, then pastoral North Philadelphia became an attractive alternative to the burgeoning city. The mansions of wealthy Philadelphians began to dot the landscape, and by the late 18th and early 19th century, several small town centers had developed to anchor the growing population. However, this suburban landscape was to be interrupted around the middle of the 19th century, as rapid urban expansion led to The Consolidation Act of 1854. This state law annexed all of the townships within Philadelphia County to the City of Philadelphia. With new territory now under the aegis of Philadelphia's city planners, and a rising influx of European immigrants, led to the end of North as a suburb of Philadelphia. North Philadelphia's decentralized towns were gradually meshed into a sprawling network of the ubiquitous Philadelphia rowhome. Many of the newly created neighborhoods retained the name of their ancestral towns and townships, for example, Northern Liberties was formerly Northern Liberties Township.
Industrial era[edit]
Philadelphia was one of the more important centers of manufacturing in the world between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries,[2][3] and North Philadelphia is one of the sections of the city whose landscape was most deeply shaped by the industrial era. Its landscape still strongly reflects this heritage.
As the industrial age peaked in America, North Philadelphia became a working man's town. Upper North Philadelphia, Olney, Brewerytown, became major hubs of production. Large factories and industrial complexes were erected, covering vast swaths of city land. Thousands of rowhomes were constructed to house the burgeoning worker population. This expansion was also the impetus for breaking ground on the Broad Street Line subway; designed specifically to carry a passenger from the northern hub of Olney to Philadelphia City Hall in under 20 minutes. Major freight and passenger rail lines were built to intersect at the newly constructed North Broad Street Station, and transmit cargo from the bustling factories. The completion of the BSL these major railways made the region a thriving hub of transportation. For a time, North Philadelphia station became the second most heavily trafficked rail station in the city, and the Olney Ave station the most used subway stop.
Along with many of Philadelphia's major manufacturing concerns came the nearby estates of the wealthy industrialists who had founded them. Lower North Philadelphia in particular housed a number the nouveau riche; ambitious first or second generation immigrants or that had made their fortunes starting manufacturing firms. Many were German Jews that had settled in the area, later founding companies and building synagogues. For a time, an age of opulence and grand architecture returned to North Philadelphia, centered around what is now zoned as the Historic North Broad Street Mansion and Speculative Housing Districts. Gentlemen's Clubs, upscale restaurants and shopping districts grew in this southern tier for a brief moment in history, peaking in the late 1920s. Upper-class foremen and executives lived farther north along Broad Street, in what is now the West Diamond Street Townhouse Historic District. Thriving commercial districts sprung up along the great northern avenues; Columbia (renamed Cecil B. Moore Avenue), Susquehanna, Dauphin, Erie, Lehigh and Olney, to name a few. However, just as this wealth was so suddenly gained, it would just as suddenly be lost. The new money culture proved to be an unstable foundation for a lasting community, and like so many constructs of the Gilded Age, this core of wealth was doomed to rot.
Post-industrial economic decline[edit]
Over the next few decades The Great Depression, outsourcing, and white flight took their toll on North Philadelphia in a fashion similar to other major US cities of the mid to late 20th century, if not in a more pronounced fashion. While residential corridors like Hope Street and Delhi Street had long housed primarily African-American residents, white residents moved out of the city as waves of poor blacks moved in. During the 40s and 50s, much of the area was racially integrated, although smaller streets were usually completely black or white. Whites began to move out slowly at first in the late 1940s as these residents became more affluent and Northeast Philadelphia began to develop new housing with lawns and conveniences such as modern plumbing. In most cases African Americans moved into the vacant houses and as this began to increase, true white flight began. Increasingly, people moved out of North Philadelphia not solely to move into newer homes, but to avoid facing decreasing property values. For a time, Lower North Philadelphia became a great center of black culture and music, most notably Jazz. Many commercial corridors were maintained for decades, and a great many musicians came to North Philadelphia, like John Coltrane and Stan Getz. By 1964, North Philadelphia was the city's center of African American culture home to 400,000 of the city's 600,000 Black Residents.[4]
As the century marched past middle age, many other problems symptomatic of all US cities of the time came about. Many of the neighborhoods in North Philadelphia sprung up around one monolithic factory, which was the center of the community's income. Each factory that closed down devastated its host neighborhood. In this way, the wave of national industrial collapse caused the rapid break up of numerous "factory neighborhoods" in the predominantly working class North Philadelphia.
1964 Columbia Avenue Riot On the evening of August 28, 1964 a black woman named Odessa Bradford got into an argument with two police officers, one black, Robert Wells, and the other white, John Hoff, after her car stalled at 23rd Street and Columbia Avenue.[5] After Bradford refused to comply with the two officers' orders to move the car, because the car had stalled, and she was unable to drive it, an argument ensued. The officers then tried to physically remove Bradford from the car. She resisted and a large crowd assembled in the area. A man tried to come to Bradford's aid by attacking the police officers at the scene, but he and Bradford were arrested. Rumors then spread throughout North Philadelphia that a pregnant black woman had been beaten to death by white police officers. Later that evening, and throughout the next two days, angry mobs looted and burned mostly white-owned businesses in North Philadelphia, mainly along Columbia Avenue. Outnumbered, the police response was to withdraw from the area rather than aggressively confront the rioters. The race riots of 1964 became iconic for the rising ethnic tensions in the region, and the continued withdrawal of white residents. The riot, which virtually destroyed the central shopping district of North Philadelphia, signaling the beginning of the end for the North's commercial sector. The withering of the American manufacturing sector led to the closing of many of the factories that many northern neighborhoods were centered around and depended on. Increased urban blight and the general decline of Philadelphia in the late 20th century even saw the decline of even many of the strong black communities in North Philadelphia. The legendary Connie Mack Stadium was closed in favor of the new Pattison Sports Complex. North Philadelphia Station lost Amtrak Service, and the BSL subway line garnered a reputation for violent crime and rape. The great art deco office buildings and government institutions were mostly abandoned, as were the mansions of the many ruined industrialists.

North Philadelphia today[edit]
North Philadelphia, like many other sections of Philadelphia, is highly racially and socially segregated block by block. A noticeable pattern in the area is that, in the southern part of North Philadelphia (south of about Erie Avenue), Germantown Avenue (which later becomes North 6th Street) is the dividing point between the areas that are predominantly Black (to the west), and the areas that are predominantly Hispanic (to the east). Though this is slowly changing, with a small yet growing population of Hispanics living west of Germantown Avenue, and already significant population of Blacks living east of that street. Also, as the Hispanic community continues to grow eastward, the ethnic white enclaves of eastern North Philadelphia continues to shrink.

Blight and Brownfields[edit]
Today, many remnants of these more prosperous eras remain, albeit in a typically more dilapidated state. However, for as many that remain, just as many thousands of historic buildings have collapsed, either from neglect or demolition, and thousands more still lie abandoned. A handful have become protected historic properties. Several blocks, with numerous old mansions, have been re-zoned as the aforementioned historic districts. A great many extravagant churches were built over the years, as well. Some still stand, but all too often money is scarce to preserve their deteriorating architecture. The trolley lines that once criss-crossed the northern streets and linked the region with the rest of Philadelphia were shut down by SEPTA in 1992. Immense, abandoned factories sit idle; warehouses lie empty; and disused heavy rail lines scar the landscape. The names of the old industrialists, such as Gratz, Poth, Uber, Bouvier, and Schmidt, still adorn many buildings and street signs in the area but are otherwise foreign to many modern-day residents.
The Neighborhood Transformation Initiative, or NTI, was a City program launched by Mayor John F. Street. The program called for the demolition of thousands of condemned buildings and the construction of large-scale, medium-density public housing, with restoration efforts to be employed on salvageable houses. Many blocks of old rowhouses have been bulldozed and replaced with suburban-style tract houses. This program has radically changed some sections of North Philadelphia. Some[who?] charge that little effort was made to save a number of historic buildings, others[who?] that NTI was needed to change blighted neighborhoods. The lasting effects of the program remain to be seen.

Redevelopment and gentrification[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2009) |
Some areas, like Olney, Allegheny, and Erie, still have relatively active communities, but even they are often troubled by drugs, crime, and/or social underfunding. Allegheny West has advanced, mostly from the support of some of the last industries in North Philadelphia, Tastykake and Pep Boys, which are headquartered in the neighborhood.
Several parts of North Philadelphia, especially those that border the Center City district, have recently been experiencing varying levels of gentrification. Once economically divested neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Francisville, Northern Liberties, Poplar, and West Kensington have seen large scale development break ground. Other regions have seen virtually no change, save the rising housing values that have accompanied increased attention in urban markets. Many residents of communities in North Philadelphia have voiced resistance towards these gentrifying forces, viewing the sudden investment as an invasion that threatens the traditional character of the neighborhoods. Some poor and elderly residents have been pushed out of increasingly valued neighborhoods adjacent to the dynamic Center City housing market, as speculative buyers push outward from the city core. Many[who?] fear this process will be repeated in North Philadelphia. Many buildings are abandoned.
According to the 2010 census, 340,350 people live among the ZIP codes of 19132, 19133, 19121, 19122, 19130 and 19123.[6] (Map)
Racial demographics[edit]
- Non-Hispanic Black: 169,494 (49.8%)
- Hispanic or Latino of any race: 103,806 (30.5%)
- Non-Hispanic White: 34,375 (10.1%)
- Asian & Pacific Islander: 17,017 (5.0%)
- Mixed or Other: 14,635 (4.3%)
- Native American: 1,021 (0.3%)
The bulk of North Philadelphia's population is made up of African Americans and Puerto Ricans, together the two groups represent about 68% of the area's population, 46% and 22% respectively.[8] The eastern half of North Philadelphia has one of the highest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the country, this section of North Philadelphia is nearly 70% Puerto Rican and less than two-thirds(55%) of Philadelphia's Puerto Rican population resides in this section of the city. North Philadelphia also has a high concentration of Black Muslims.[8] The area also has significant Dominican, White American, Italian, Irish, Trinidadian, Jamaican, Haitian, Colombian, Cuban, Vietnamese, and Polish populations, among others.[8] About half of the population lives below the poverty line.[8]
Most of Philadelphia's crime pertains to the drug trade. In a 2007 Philadelphia Weekly article journalist Steve Volk states that anti-drug activists said that North Philadelphia has a lot of open air recreational drug dealing because the act is a tradition and because many areas have consistent poverty.[9] Though several blighted Philadelphia neighborhoods are known for open-air drug dealing, as well as open-air drug using, the "North Philly Badlands" is notorious nationwide for it. Many North Philadelphia neighborhoods are blighted, and abound in abandoned homes and vacant lots.
Pep Boys is headquartered in North Philadelphia.[10]
Notably, Broad Street roughly bisects North Philadelphia north-south. Broad Street is a six-lane arterial street that is designated as Pennsylvania Route 611. The Broad Street Line, or 'Orange Line,' runs along Broad Street, directly connecting North Philadelphia with Center City and South Philadelphia, as well as with the rest of Philadelphia's public transit system: SEPTA.
Public education[edit]
Public schooling in North Philadelphia is handled by the School District of Philadelphia. The region is divided into several "clusters," which administer individual schools. By region, these clusters are:

Admitted Students
Congratulations on your acceptance to Alvernia University! So, now what do you do? Don't worry, we're here to guide you through the rest of the process! Use the following list as your guide to becoming a Crusader!
If you haven't already, come see us for yourself.
If you've been here before, make another visit. Spending time here is the best way to know if Alvernia is the right fit for you. We would be pleased to help you plan an individual visit tailored to your academic, athletic, or extracurricular interests. You may also want to consider an overnight or shadow visit in order to experience life at Alvernia firsthand. In addition, you have the opportunity to attend our Accepted Students Day which will give you the chance to have any final questions answered.
Apply for financial aid.
Complete your 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1, 2014. The FAFSA can be submitted online. List Alvernia University as one of the schools that will receive your information. If you have already completed the FAFSA form but did not list Alvernia, you can log back into your FAFSA form and select option #3 to add/delete a school code. Our code is 003233. Your information will be processed and forwarded to Alvernia within approximately 2 weeks. Once your FAFSA has been received, a financial aid package will be prepared and mailed within 2-3 weeks. Review it and if you have any questions, contact our Office of Student Financial Planning for assistance.
Confirm your enrollment.
Complete the Confirmation of Enrollment Form that you received in your acceptance packet. Submit it along with your $300 non-refundable enrollment deposit by May 1, 2014, or within 2 weeks of your acceptance if it occurs after May 1. Let us know if you need another form!
Request housing.
After you complete your enrollment confirmation, beginning in late February you can apply for student housing.

The housing assignment process begins in early June for the fall semester. We encourage you to submit your housing application and deposit promptly.
- A $250 non-refundable housing deposit must accompany the housing application. Priority is given to applications in date order, so it is to your advantage to return the application without delay.
- After all housing assignments are completed, you will be sent a New Resident Student Housing packet which includes a newsletter and Housing Contract for review and signature. You will need to return the completed, signed contract before assignment can be confirmed.
- Hall, room, and roommate assignments are made in early July.
All first- and second-year undergraduate students are required to reside on campus unless a petition for off-campus living is approved.
Complete your placement testing online and attend a Campus Connection Day.
Campus Connection Days take place late May through mid-July.
Upon Confirming your Enrollment to attend Alvernia, you will receive information on how to go about doing your online placement testing, as well as selecting a date for your Campus Connection Day.
Transfer students will attend a Transfer Registration Day where they will meet with an advisor to learn about the core or major requirements needed in order to complete a degree, as well as review how transfer credits already earned satisfy Alvernia requirements. After meeting with an advisor from their major, transfer students will learn how to register online and will select and register for fall courses. More information about Registration Days will be sent to students who have confirmed their enrollment beginning in April.
Complete health and wellness forms.
Incoming students will receive 2 forms from the Alvernia Health and Wellness Center: a Medical History Form, and an Authorization for the Release of Medical Information. You must return and complete these forms by August 1, 2014, or within 2 weeks of your acceptance if it occurs after July 15.
In addition, if you are a student athlete, nursing, occupational therapy, or athletic training major, you must have a Physical Form completed by your primary care physician.
Attend new student orientation and move-in!
We recognize that going to college is a new chapter not only in the lives of the student, but also in the lives of the families and friends of the student.
We have many events scheduled for students and their families to assist them in making a successful transition into the Alvernia community. We are here to help and direct you, answer your questions, address your concerns, and learn from you.
During the summer, you will receive more specific information about your move-in date and new student orientation activities taking place. Fall classes begin on August 25, 2014.
Virtual Tour
Can't make it to campus? Like to get acquainted with us before your visit? Or just need a refresher? Let us bring Alvernia to you!
Explore campus through our interactive map for now, but we hope to see you here in person soon!

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
By David Wroblewski 576 pages. Ecco/HarperCollins. Whether you read for the beauty of language or for the intricacies of plot, you will easily fall in love with David Wroblewski's generous, almost transcendentally lovely debut novel, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (Ecco/HarperCollins). This is a tale set in rural Wisconsin in the first half of the 20th century, on a farm where the Sawtelles raise a fictional breed of dog. The dogs function like spirits in Shakespeare, or the chorus in Greek tragedy: They color the text with larger meaning yet remain tangibly real, deeply believable as dogs. Edgar is the mute boy who raises them, a mesmerizing fictional hero, primitive and wise. There are passages of language here ("A pair of does sprang over the fence on the north side of the field—two leaps each, nonchalant, long-sustained, falling earthward only as an afterthought...") that make you pause and read again with luxuriant pleasure. Wroblewski's plot is dynamic—page by page compelling—and classical, evoking Hamlet, Antigone, Electra, and Orestes, as Edgar tries to avenge his father's death and his paternal uncle's new place in the affections of his mother. The scope of this book, its psychological insight and lyrical mastery, make it one of the best novels of the year, and a perfect, comforting joy of a book for summer. From the June 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Welcome to Alaska EPSCoR
Alaska EPSCoR improves Alaska's scientific capacity by engaging in research projects supported through National Science Foundation and state funds. The organization is engaged in a 5-year project entitled "Alaska Adapting to Changing Environments," which examines the mechanisms by which communities adapt to environmental and social change. For more information please see the project's info sheet and Strategic Plan. Alaska EPSCoR also recently concluded a cyberconnectivity grant at the University of Alaska (UA).
EPSCoR Forms SES Peer Group
Applications due March 14, 2014
First-year students and prospective applicants to the UAF Graduate School's Interdisciplinary Program are invited to apply to an Alaska EPSCoR peer group focused on the study of social-ecological systems. The group will provide biweekly seminars and other activities to create an academic "home" for members, and EPSCoR will support the effort by bringing in guest speakers, holding workshops, and providing travel grants.
EPSCoR will support the group through June 2017. EPSCoR funding will not be used for individual student tuition and fees, nor will membership in the peer group confer any preference for travel grants or dissertation completion fellowships from the Graduate School. See the links below for more information about this exciting opportunity.
New EPSCoR videos available on YouTube
Alaska EPSCoR has posted two new videos on its YouTube channel. The first, filmed and edited by EPSCoR student Caleb Gordon, explains the research being done in EPSCoR's Southcentral Test Case, while the other highlights the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference.
New EPSCoR data websites online
Alaska and the Geographic Information Network of Alaska have collaborated to build a series of "data portal" websites, designed to give easy access to data generated by or relevant to the current Alaska EPSCoR project.
The main data portal links through to data across the entire project. Other portals exist for the Southeast Test Case (a collaboration with the Southeast Alaska GIS LIbrary), the Southcentral Test Case, and the Northern Test Case (a collaboration with the North Slope Science Initiative.) These can all be visited via the toolbar at the top of this site.
Other toolbar links lead to EPSCoR public events filmed using Mediasite equipment, and the EPSCoR reporting system, which is used by EPSCoR faculty, staff and students to enter information about themselves and their activities.
2013 annual meeting presentations
All of the presentations from the 2013 Alaska EPSCoR Annual Meeting are now available as PDFs. In addition, Jessica Cherry's film Waterways, shown at the meeting, can be viewed here. Waterways, which was produced through funding from Alaska EPSCoR's PACMAN project, centers on an Tetlin elder telling stories in the rare Upper Tanana Athabascan dialect.
Fall newsletter available
The fall edition of the Alaska EPSCoR newsletter is available online, featuring articles on the Southeast Test Case, EPSCoR's new data portals, the EPSCoR-Global Human Ecodynamics Alliance workshop, and the 2013 Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference.
The fall 2011, 2012 and 2013 newsletters are also now available on the Issuu website.
EPSCoR events available on Mediasite
Three different Alaska EPSCoR-sponsored events are now available for viewing on EPSCoR's Mediasite page. Mediasite software enables simultaneous, searchable viewing of a presentation and its accompanying powerpoint.
Currently available are Alaska EPSCoR Education Outreach Director Elena Sparrow speaking on "Outreach Education: To Do or Not to Do;" a presentation by EPSCoR Outreach Director Tania Clucas on "Funding Opportunities for Science Education Programs;" and a lecture by Colin Murrell, director of the Earth and Life Systems Alliance at the University of East Anglia, on "Fighting Climate Change with Microbiology."
Microsoft Silverlight is required to view Mediasite files.
Alaska EPSCoR project receives $750,000 educational award
Alaska EPSCoR has been awarded $750,000 by the NSF to conduct an experimental three-year project using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) to excite high school students about science.
Titled "The Modern Blanket Toss," the project is a partnership between EPSCoR and Alaska Upward Bound. The effort will engage 60 low-income, prospective first-generation college students from high schools in the communities of Shishmaref, Bethel, Nikiski and Seward, with the goal of increasing the students' interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields as they undertake projects that are useful to their communities.
Students will attend Upward Bound's residential summer program on the UAF campus, during which they will be trained in UAV use, as well as in science communication and leadership, in addition to the program's general curriculum. Instruction will include classroom modules and hands-on experiences that take advantage of campus UAV expertise, including field trips to UAF's Poker Flat Research Range.
All four schools will be provided with Arducopter quad-rotor UAV's, as well as GoPro cameras and GPS tracking devices. During the academic year, students – under the instruction of both local and remote Upward Bound personnel – will take part in learning activities centered around the UAV's, including guest speakers, "virtual field trips," and other instruction delivered via videoconference.
Each school year will culminate in a large-scale mapping project, which will be chosen and designed based on student and community members' input. Students will then present project results at community meetings and other events, including a workshop during the final summer of the program in which results will be exhibited for a nationwide group of educators. With professional supervision, students will also create a series of videos describing stages of the project.
The NSF funding began on January 1 and will run through the end of 2016. It was awarded through EPSCoR's "Track-3" program, which is funding projects nationwide designed to interest members of minority groups in STEM fields.
UAF students selected for SC13
Congratulations to University of Alaska Fairbanks students Mitch Slife and Anne Bartholomew, who were among 37 students selected to attend the SC13 computing conference through a nationwide EPSCoR program. Slife and Bartholomew served as student volunteers at the conference, which was held November 17-22 in Denver, Colorado. Bartholomew was also able to attend the SC12 conference in Salt Lake City through the national EPSCoR program.

Thread: The Ghost Caravan
Threaded View
Wednesday, 26th September, 2012, 05:00 AM #1
The Ghost Caravan
In the deserts of Athas, mirages are as uncommon as the travelers that witness them. Images that appear are often lures into greater danger, generated by malicious creatures or simply the byproduct of a ravaged world. Even so, it is rare for two people to have the same vision. The lone exception to this rule is the Ghost Caravan, which seems as though it could not be real . . . yet is a phenomenon that has been reported too many times to be dismissed as a mere trick of the mind.

882P Movement
Ref : 882P rose
The 882P movement is one of the thinnest chronograph movements available at only 5.6 mm thick. As part of the very exclusive world of major watchmaking complications the chronograph movement, is distinguished by its flyback mechanism, a highly precise function which allows for the chronograph to be reset without interruption. By one simple push, the minute and central seconds hands "fly back" to zero and automatically begin a new cycle. The 882P chronograph movement is enhanced with two barrels, a balance with screws, a balance stop and an oscillating weight decorated with a pink-coloured Piaget coat of arms. It is also equipped with a second time zone (with 24-hour time display) placed at 9 o'clock. Its chronograph is governed by a column wheel, to coordinate all its phases, and a vertical clutch system assuring the utmost precision. The flat, overlapping surfaces of the two discs that make up the movement are driven directly, thus avoiding jumping needles and any unnecessary expenditure of the power reserve. To complete the movement's functions, the frequency has been increased for better precision. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled bridges, the blued screws and the pink oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.
Shape: Round
Functions: Date at 6 o'clock, Hours, Minutes, Minutes counter at 3 o'clock (30 minutes), Second time zone at 9 o'clock (24 hours), Flyback chronograph
Technical features: Balance with screws, Double barrel, Vertical coupling clutch, Column wheel, Balance stop

Spurs news and notes: Coach of the decade, Barkley pokes fun at San Antonio, Hill and the dentist, and more
• ESPN discussed who is the best coach of the past decade. Here is an excerpt:
BUCHER: Two coaches have stood above the rest of the NBA during the past decade: The Lakers' Phil Jackson and the Spurs' Gregg Popovich. There are coaches who have been impressive in various ways -- the Jazz's Jerry Sloan and the Celtics' Doc Rivers immediately come to mind -- but they are, at best, fighting for a distant third. The question is, who deserves to be considered the best? I'm going to go with the man they call Pop.
BROUSSARD: Obviously, Pop is a terrific coach, one of the best to do it. But my pick for coach of the past decade or so is Jackson. With five titles and seven NBA Finals appearances since 2000, he's led two separate dynasties in one decade. Not only has Jackson been the best coach of the past 10 to 12 years, he's been the best in NBA history.
• SI.com talks about the San Antonio Spurs and their aged players:
Of much deeper substance are the enduring efforts of the Spurs and Celtics to win one more before the lockout changes everything. Both rotations depend heavily on players in the final stages of their careers, whether it's Shaquille O'Neal, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce for Boston, or Antonio McDyess, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for San Antonio. Duncan and Garnett are indispensable to their teams, and they've been running NBA courts for 90,003 minutes between them.
• The Spurs' rival, the Dallas Mavericks, have been free-falling since starting the season on the right foot:
At the season's mid-point four of the league's six divisions are yawn-fests. The Mavs' three-week slide has added the Southwest Division to that category, decisively altering what was shaping up to be a classic race to 82 between two fierce rivals potentially for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Dallas' 82-77 loss Thursday night at Chicago Bulls dropped it a season-high nine games behind the 36-6 San Antonio Spurs, who can extend the lead to 9 1/2 with a win tonight against the New York Knicks. That's a daunting number of games to make up with 42 remaining. Less than a month ago when Dirk Nowitzki went down with a sprained knee on Dec. 27, the Mavs were 2 1/2 games back of the Spurs and had already won in San Antonio. (source espn.com)
• According to Dimemag.com, the Spurs suffer from the New England Patriots Theory:
But the question remains: Why is no one talking about the Spurs? Is it possible for a teams' lack of style and flair to outweigh everything else to the point where even SportsCenter refuses to acknowledge them?
I have a theory I've called The New England Patriots Theory.

"I hate to say this, but I think because they decide who's going to coach the All-Star team based on the standings on Jan. 30, so it looks like Gregg Popovich, the coach of San Antonio, is going to be the coach," Buss said. "I kind of think Phil [Jackson] likes not being in first place so he can get the weekend off." (source latimes.com)

Photo: Jonathan Skow Q: How can I avoid getting nasty bumps under my arms when I shave?
A: I suppose you don't want to consider not shaving under your arms, and this being the United States in the 21st century—instead of France during the Belle Epoque, when some considered women's underarm hair erotic—that's probably a good idea. I'm all for liberation from annoying conventions, but I saw a photo of myself taken at a friend's wedding in the mid-1970s that convinced me some annoying conventions are worth the trouble. I wore a bridesmaid's gown—pink, rayon, sleeveless—and the prominent tufts of hair on either side of my bodice were more King Kong than Colette. So: how to avoid those nasty bumps. Start with a supersharp razor, says Debra Wattenberg, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Wet your underarms with warm water and apply a moisturizing cleanser (like Olay Ribbons Body Wash, $4) or a moisturizing shave cream (like Aveeno Positively Smooth Shower & Shave Cream, $7). Don't press very hard on the razor because it can force bacteria from the skin into the hair follicles, causing pimples or bumps. If you're still getting irritation, apply a little over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream post-shave, says Wattenberg. Bottom line: Try shaving in the evening before bed, since sweating can increase irritation, and wait until morning to apply deodorant or antiperspirant.

The freshman, playing a few miles from where he grew up, threw for four touchdowns, then drove the Bruins (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) downfield to set up Ka'imi Fairbairn's 33-yard field goal as the game ended Saturday to give UCLA a 45-43 victory over Arizona State.
"That is just what this offense does," Hundley said. "We play fast and do what we have to do and only stop ourselves. So as long as we are doing what we've got to do and have fun out there, we can put points on the board."
The Sun Devils (5-3, 3-2) had rallied from nine down in the fourth quarter to go up 43-42 on Taylor Kelly's 7-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Foster with 1:33 to play. The way UCLA's offense was rolling, that was plenty of time.
"The game is on the line and you have to drive down the field," Hundley said. "You have to be real sound in what you are doing and be confident in what you are doing. That is what we were."
Neither team knew it in the postgame locker rooms, but Arizona was in the process of completing an upset of USC. That left both UCLA and Arizona State a half-game behind the first-place Trojans in the Pac-12 South.
"I am not going to say that if we lost it would have ended it," UCLA coach Jim Mora said, "but it would have made it extremely hard for us because Arizona State would be 4-1 (in the conference), they would have been 6-2 (overall) and we would have been 5-3. I just knew we had to win it to stay in it."
Hundley, who starred for Chandler (Ariz.) High School, completed 19 of 31 for 274 yards and four touchdowns. He threw his 18th touchdown pass of the season, breaking the freshman record of 17 set by Tommy Maddox in 1990. Hundley became the first quarterback to pass for more than 200 yards this season against Arizona State, playing with a battered defense.
Johnathan Franklin rushed for 164 yards, leaving him 20 yards shy of the UCLA career rushing record.
Damien Thigpen put UCLA ahead 42-33 with his second TD pass of the day from Hundley, a 20-yarder with 9:01 to play.
But the Sun Devils scored the next 10 to regain the lead.
Kelly completed 25 of 35 for 315 yards and four touchdowns with one costly interception that led to a UCLA touchdown that put the Bruins ahead 21-17 at the half. Foster caught seven passes for 107 yards and rushed for 61 yards on 13 carries.
There was more than 1,000 yards of offense—535 for Arizona State, 486 for UCLA.
"We just didn't show up and play defense today," Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. "That's the difference. You can't win football games playing defense like that."
Kelly's 31-yard burst up the middle set up the go-ahead touchdown on a bright afternoon in the desert.
The Sun Devils looked to nurse a 17-14 lead into halftime with the ball on their 4-yard line and 1:19 to go. But they went with a pass play and Kelly, with UCLA's Cassius Marsh all over him, threw an ill-advised floater that Dalton Hilliard intercepted at the Arizona State 5. Franklin scored on the next play and UCLA led for the first time, 21-17.
Kelly said Marsh wrapped him up as he was trying to throw the ball away rather than take a safety.
"I was trying to throw it at my running back's feet, but the guy hit me," Kelly said. "So I was trying to throw him off, but I couldn't pull it down."
Arizona State jumped to a 14-0 lead with the game barely five minutes old.
The first touchdown came after UCLA's Steven Manfro appeared to lose Josh Hubner's soaring punt in the bright sun. Manfro muffed the catch and Deveron Carr recovered at the Bruins' 13. Two plays later, Kelly threw 7 yards to Kevin Ozier for the score with 13:13 still left in the opening quarter.
The Sun Devils mounted a 70-yard drive on their next possession. Marion Grice, who also had two TD catches, scored from the 2 to make it 14-0.
But the Bruins responded with two long scoring drives.
Franklin carried five times for 39 yards on a 13-play, 75-yard drive for UCLA's first score. His 3-yard run cut the lead to 14-7 with 6:24 still to go in the first. The drive was aided when Arizona State's Junior Onyeali shoved Hundley after the quarterback had released the ball and was called for roughing the passer. The 15-yard penalty came on a third-down incompletion.
Onyeali left the game a short time later with an apparent shoulder injury. The same type of injury knocked him out of the previous week's loss to Oregon.
The Sun Devils already were without one of their best players, defensive end Will Sutton, with a bone bruise in his knee.
Hubner's career-long 68-yard punt rolled dead at the 2, and the Bruins responded with a 10-play, 98-yard drive—their longest of the season. Hundley threw over the middle 15 yards to freshman Devin Fuller and it was 14-14 with 1:05 left in the quarter.

Clayton News Daily
A 17-year-old, male, Jonesboro High School student was denied bond on Thursday for his alleged role in the reported sexual assault of a 15-year-old, female student at the school last week, his attorney has confirmed.
Brandon Ray Thompson, 17, is facing felony charges of aggravated sexual battery and false imprisonment, and a misdemeanor charge of child molestation for allegedly participating in the assault, court records show. The warrantless affidavit for Thompson's arrest states that he and a 15-year-old, male student sexually assaulted a 15-year-old, female student at Jonesboro High School on March 3, at 8:30 a.m. The affidavit alleges that Thompson "did use his hand to rub the intimate parts" of the female student's body. Online court records show that bail was set for Thompson at a total of $15,000 for the child molestation and false imprisonment charges on March 4, but they also show that bond was denied on the aggravated sexual assault charge at the time. One of Thompson's attorneys, Jewel Scott, said she and her law partner, John M. Turner, tried again to get bond set on the aggravated sexual assault during a preliminary hearing, on Thursday, but were unsuccessful. Scott said she and Turner were added as Thompson's attorneys on Thursday. "We had requested bond be set today [Thursday], but that was denied," Scott said. "So, a bond hearing has been set for next week." That hearing is scheduled for March 18, at 8 a.m., in Clayton County Magistrate Court, online court records show. Scott added that, after the hearing takes place, the case will go to Clayton County Superior Court, and the county's District Attorney's Office will begin prosecuting Thompson. The warrantless arrest affidavit for Thompson's arrest states that the case of the 15-year-old, male student, who also allegedly participated in the sexual assault, is being handled in Clayton County Juvenile Court. Clayton County Police Detective Joanne Southerland wrote, in her warrantless affidavit for Thompson's arrest, that the victim protested the assault as it took place. "The victim reported she tried to get away many times and said 'NO' and 'Stop,' " the detective wrote. Southerland wrote that Thompson was interviewed police, and "admitted they 'felt her up' when she said, no, and they continued." The detective added that the incident was caught a video camera at the school. The warrantless arrest affidavit shows that Thompson was arrested four-and-a-half hours after the alleged assault took place. Southerland wrote in her affidavit that he provided police with a written statement, and a letter apologizing for the incident. The 15-year-old male involved in the incident was also arrested. Scott said the incident is alleged to have happened in a stairway at the school, between classes, with other students walking past Thompson, the 15-year-old male, and the 15-year-old, female victim as the alleged assault took place. The attorney said she and Turner have not yet had a chance to review Thompson's statement to police, or his apology letter. She said she has questions about how the incident allegedly took place. "What they [police] claim they saw on the video is that they [Thompson and the 15-year-old, male student] restrained the young girl, and there were students walking as the incident occurred," Scott said. "Well, did she make a cry out to anybody? That is the question I have, but during our questioning [of police at the preliminary hearing], we did not seem to get an answer." School System Spokesman Charles White confirmed that the three teenagers connected to the incident were students at the school, and that school officials communicated with Jonesboro High School parents about the incident after it happened. He deferred further comment, however, to an official district statement on the matter, citing a federal law that prohibits school officials from discussing student records. The school district's written statement said : "School officials cooperated fully with Clayton County Police in their investigation into the incident. School administrators, following established procedure, have dealt with each student in an appropriate manner. To comment further would be inappropriate at this time."More like this story

Despite widespread expectations for a substantial seasonal rally through January and early February, both cash hog and wholesale pork values suffered moderate losses Tuesday. Losses at the direct markets west of the Mississippi River were particularly noteworthy, as was the general decline suffered by most pork cuts. The ham market was the lone gainer Tuesday. Given the bullish environment and the premiums already built into CME futures, it was not terribly surprising to see futures drop significantly in Tuesday night trading. February hogs seem set to begin the Chicago pit session 0.62 cents lower at 85.72 cents/pound, while the June contract is down 0.85 cents to 98.05.
The chief cotton analyst for global trader Louis Dreyfus publicly lamented the ongoing Chinese buying program overnight and blamed it for distorting the international cotton market. He claimed their buying spree was greatly encouraging Chinese production while causing its domestic millers to switch to cheaper synthetic fibers. And while the situation is unlikely to change in the near future, it raises the real possibility of overhanging Chinese inventories for some time. Cotton prices could be capped in such an environment. Nevertheless, ICE futures rose moderately in Wednesday morning activity. March cotton futures climbed 0.10 cents to 75.22 cents/pound, while December advanced 0.37 cents to 79.00.

Halo Headlines: Isringhausen likely to have major role, Introducing the Bullpen Pyramid/Trapezoid, Trumbo getting good reports at third base so far
The February 24th, 2012 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including Isringhausen likely to win a major bullpen role, introducing the Bullpen Pyramid/Trapezoid, Trumbo gets early positive reviews at third base and much more...
The Monkey Says: And once again Scioscia's undying adherence to veterans rears its head. It isn't that Izzy is bad, but he is also very old, very fragile and coming off a below average season. Would it really kill Scioscia to make Isringhausen actually earn it. This could work out though. Isringhausen is reportedly down 25 pounds from last season and seem much more prepared than he was when he basically pitched for the Mets on a whim.
The Monkey Says: Personally, I prefer a bullpen rhombus, but I suppose a trapezoid will do.
