Frequently Asked Questions

General Admission Requirements
What are the requirements for applying to the Smeal MBA program?
We have identified four major criteria that, when considered together, will help us confidently evaluate potential for success. These criteria are 1) academic ability, 2) work experience, 3) leadership skills, and 4) fit with the Smeal MBA program
I already have my MBA. May I still apply to the Smeal MBA Program?
We do not accept applicants who already have an MBA from a U.S. Institution (or the equivalent of an MBA). Candidates who have an internationally awarded MBA may still be eligible. For questions regarding eligibility, please email: email@example.com.
May I transfer into the Smeal MBA program?
A maximum of six credits may be transferred into the Smeal MBA program. Due to the integrative nature of the core curriculum and the structure of our program, any transfer credits will count as electives and the full four semesters of study will still be required.
Does the program require any pre-requisite mathematical and computer skills?
While these are not required for admission, we've found that an understanding of analytical thinking and quantitative tools has a significant influence on success in the program. While we expect students to be competent in algebra, comfortable with the use of spreadsheets, and have basic knowledge of statistics, there are no prerequisites. Students from all academic backgrounds are welcome to apply. We strongly advise all incoming students, after enrolling and before their arrival on campus, complete MBA Math.
Should I take any particular courses to prepare for the MBA?
While we have no prerequisites for enrollment, students with limited quantitative backgrounds may benefit from taking accounting and business statistics in advance of enrollment. Becoming comfortable with Excel would also be valuable. In addition, the MBA Program offers pre-term courses during orientation which provide brief overviews of accounting, quantitative methods, finance, and/or Excel. We strongly advise all incoming students, after enrolling and before their arrival on campus, complete MBA Math.
Does Smeal require every MBA student to own a computer?
Yes. All MBA students are required to own a laptop. Many courses during the MBA program will require access to online tools and applications and most students bring their laptops to class.
What is the best way for me to learn about the Business School?
Begin by browsing the Smeal MBA and Penn State websites, particularly our Visits and Events page. A great way to get to know the program is to visit campus during an "MBA Open Houses" which includes attending a class, going to lunch with a current student, and attending a group information session led by an Admissions team member. Or schedule an individual visit to campus by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. If you can't make it to campus, we also offer many opportunities to interact virtually. Our webcast series is available on iTunes University and we will offer skype hours where prospective students can speak with current students or staff to get their perspective on the program. You'll also find a list of our alumni receptions and other events throughout the US and internationally. You are also encouraged to connect with current students and staff via email at email@example.com.
Can I speak to an admissions counselor? How do I find out if I am qualified?
The best way to contact our office with specific questions about the MBA Program and application process is to email your inquiry at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800-379-6445 to speak with someone on the Admissions team.
Please keep in mind that we cannot evaluate your qualifications before you apply. The evaluation process looks at your entire application, and compares that profile against the larger applicant pool in each round. Therefore, it is impossible for us to tell you in advance your chances of admission.
We would however be glad to assist you with any other queries regarding eligibility with respect to degree requirements or GMAT or GRE and TOEFL or IELTS requirements or the admission process in general. We would be glad to provide you with any information regarding the Smeal MBA program or the application process.
Where do I send my supplemental application materials?
Please send all your supplemental application materials to:
MBA Admissions
Smeal College of Business
The Pennsylvania State University
220 Business Building
University Park, PA 16802
How much does the letter of recommendation, interview, GMAT/GRE etc., matter? Do you weigh one more than others?
The entire application package is viewed in its entirety. No specific parameter is weighed more than the other.
Is there an age limit for applying to the Full-time MBA Program?
No. We accept applications without any age discrimination. Our average students age is 27, but we have students who come in above and below this average age.
Can I submit my application if I am missing a required item (i.e., GMAT/GRE results, originals of my transcripts)?
We can not proceed with evaluating your application until all materials are submitted. However, if you are approaching an application deadline and are still missing an item, please contact our admission team to discuss your specific situation.
Our application fee is $65.
Can you waive my application fee?
The Penn State Smeal MBA offers financial support and fee waivers equitably as a need-blind, merit-based award program. We offer financial aid based on the total strength of a candidates' application rather than on financial need. We want to ensure that we're applying fair practices with every candidate. We also try to keep our application fee low compared to the industry so that it does not become a barrier to application. Therefore, Application Fee Waivers are only offered in the cases below. If you qualify under one of the following, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with your qualification status to request a fee waiver code.
- Penn State Alumni
- Active duty U.S. military at anytime
- Individuals reapplying to the Penn State Smeal MBA program from a previous year
- Prospects who are referred to the program by a member of the Penn State Community
How do I receive a brochure and application package?
Request information about the Smeal MBA program.
Letters of Recommendation
Whom should I pick to write my recommendations? Can the Letters of Recommendation be written by professors?
We require written evaluations from two recommenders, preferably from your immediate supervisors or anybody who can comment on your work. This could include your clients. Because working with a team is a critical part of the Smeal MBA experience, one of the letters of reference could be from a peer or team member about your teamwork and leadership skills.
Academic recommendations are acceptable if you are applying straight out of an undergraduate program or if you have worked with the recommender as a teaching assistant, researcher, or in a similar capacity. We however encourage you to provide recommendations from your work place where applicable.
It is important that you select a recommender who knows you well and is willing to dedicate the time to convey your experience in detail. In-depth recommendations are more important than well-known names or titles.
Is there a specific format required for the letters of recommendation?
The Smeal format of the letter of recommendation is available on our application instructions page. You are requested to send in your two recommendations in the specified format. If you wish to include an additional recommendation, you can send in that with the supplemental materials.
May I submit more than two recommendations?
The admissions committee suggests only 2 professional letters of recommendation be submitted. If you believe that a third recommendation will add significant value to your application or will help the admission committee get a different perspective about you, you may send an additional recommendation along with your supplemental materials.
Can my relatives or friends write a letter of recommendation for me?
Two recommendations from individuals who can accurately speak to your past are required for the Smeal MBA admissions application. Recommendations from personal friends, relatives, or family acquaintances are not appropriate. We prefer letters be written by employers or professional colleagues.
I cannot get a letter of recommendation from my current boss as he/she does not know about my intent of returning to graduate school. What advice do you have for me?
Think of another work-related source, such as a client or a manager from another department who knows your skills. Perhaps you could ask a former manager who has left the company. What we are looking for is a recommendation from someone who knows your work well, preferably from a supervisory and/or a team member's perspective.
Application Essay
What do you look for in the admission essay?
While your test scores, recommendations, and work experience tell us a lot about what you have done, your essay helps us learn about you - your values, passions, interests and beliefs.
General guidelines for the essay:
Take time to think, and then write—this is not an easy question to answer. There are no "right" answers. The Admissions Committee will review your response when evaluating your application. Please be genuine, specific, and concise in your response. Please include your full name and the question number at the top of each page. Please limit your response to the word count provided.
Is it imperative to stick to the word limit?
Clarity and brevity are critical to effective professional communications. As far as possible please be approximately near the word limit for your essay. If it is imperative, you may go slightly above the limit.
What is the essay question on the application?
We require applicants to write one essay on their application. It addresses future goals and how the Penn State Smeal MBA program will help you achieve them. In addition you will also be asked to submit 3 responses to video questions selected at random. For more information on the written essay and video questions please see our application instructions page.
What do I write in the additional information section?
Please use your judgment to decide what you put in this section. In general, any information that you think would aid the admissions committee in making a decision and that is not covered anywhere else in the application can be included here.
GMAT/GRE, TOEFL/IELTS and GPA
What is the TOEFL requirement for International applicants?
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. International candidates who have not received a degree from a U.S. college or university must earn a score of 600 or better on the paper-based TOEFL or 100 on the internet-based TOEFL, with a minimum of 20 on the speaking section. Scores must be sent directly to the Smeal College MBA office (code 2660).
I have taken the IELTS. Do I need to take the TOEFL?
While we prefer that the students take TOEFL, we do accept valid IELTS scores (7.0 minimum) as well as an alternative to TOEFL scores.
Are there circumstances in which the TOEFL can be waived?
International candidates may be exempt from the TOEFL if any of the following apply:
- The candidate has received a degree from a U.S. college/university/institution.
- The candidate has received a baccalaureate or a masters degree from a college/university/institution in any of the following: Australia, Belize, British Caribbean and British West Indies, Canada (except Quebec), England, Guyana, Republic of Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
- The candidate is a U.S. Permanent Resident.
While some countries education systems are predominantly English, the TOEFL is required for consistent evaluation across areas.
How long is the TOEFL valid?
TOEFL scores are valid for two years. This validity period is set by ETS, the official group that administers the TOEFL test.
I'm an international student but have been living in the US for several years. Can I waive my TOEFL?
International candidates may be exempt from the TOEFL if any of the following apply:
- The candidate has received a degree from a U.S. college/university/institution.
- The candidate has received a baccalaureate or a masters degree from a college/university/institution in a country where English is both the language of instruction and the only official or native language or are a permanent resident of the United States. Countries that would qualify an applicant as eligible for a TOEFL/IELTS exemption as described above include Australia, Belize, British Caribbean and British West Indies, Canada (except Quebec), England, Guyana, Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, Scotland, the United States, and Wales.
- The candidate is a U.S. Permanent Resident.
Are there circumstances in which the GMAT/GRE can be waived?
A GMAT or GRE score is required of all applicants (with the exception of MD/MBA joint program applicants. They are required to submit MCAT scores for consideration).
How long is the GMAT/GRE valid?
Scores are valid for five years.
Is there one section you weight more heavily than another on the GMAT/GRE?
No. We will look at your overall performance.
If I take the GMAT or GRE more than once, which score will you take?
We take the highest OVERALL score. We will NOT take the highest math or the highest verbal from different test administrations and combine them.
What if I take the GRE and the GMAT? Which will you consider?
We will look at your overall testing history for either/both exams, but we will officially consider the highest test score reported.
How do you compare GRE and GMAT Scores?
We use the official ETS.org score converter.
Is there a minimum Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT/GRE) score or GPA required for admission?
No, there are no minimum thresholds for GMAT/GRE or GPA. Your application is evaluated in its entirety. The average GMAT for the incoming class was 649 with the mid 80% range of 550 to 720. The average GPA for the incoming class was 3.4.
I need to have my official GMAT score report sent to Smeal. What is your school code?
The Smeal school code for GMAT is ZZ8-HD-34, the code for GRE is 2660.
What is the school code for TOEFL?
The Smeal school code for TOEFL is 2660. It is referred to as "Penn State All Campuses"
What is the average GPA for the incoming class?
The average GPA for the incoming class was 3.4.
If I have received multiple bachelors or masters degrees, which GPA do you consider?
Your undergraduate GPA is the required part of your application. In case of multiple bachelors or Masters Degrees we place more emphasis on the trends in improvement of your GPA as opposed to raw numbers.
If I have a lower than average GPA, will I be considered? How do I demonstrate my ability to succeed in the program?
Taking additional classes can help along with a very strong GMAT score. Both of these are considered as other indicators of academic potential. We will also use other parts of your application to assess your overall potential for success in the program. GMAT will carry more weight as a measure of how well will you do in your core classes.
Can a strong GMAT/GRE neutralize a low GPA or vice-versa?
A strong GPA can point to your ability to perform well academically, however the whole application is evaluated, so we do not directly trade off GMAT/GRE with GPA or vice versa. GPA measures past performance over a prolonged time period whereas GMAT/GRE measures current potential with a significant time constraint. We therefore look for trends to identify what these indicators and the rest of your application tell us about your ability to succeed in the program.
Application Statistics, Deadlines, Interviews and Admission decisions
Can you tell me about the profile statistics of the MBA class at Smeal?
A snapshot of the profile statistics of the MBA class at Smeal can be accessed at:
What are the application deadlines?
All candidates are encouraged to apply by the January 10th deadline for financial aid consideration.
Is there any advantage in applying in any particular round? What would maximize my chances of getting admitted?
Since the admission decisions are made on a rolling basis, it is to your advantage to apply as early as you are ready. The admissions committee cannot predict the quality of future applications, and is therefore inclined to admit well-qualified applicants early in the process. In addition, early application ensures that you will receive a decision earlier. However, it is important not to rush your application. We encourage you to take the time necessary to submit a thoughtful, well-prepared application. Regardless of the round in which your application has been submitted, the admissions committee will give full and fair consideration to your candidacy.
Is there any pre-decided number of students who would be admitted in each round?
No. The applications are reviewed and admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. So it is in your best interest to send in your application as soon as you are ready. Our class size is flexible and varies each year.
How can I check the status of my application?
The only accurate way to check the status of your application and what materials have been received is to email us email@example.com.
Is an Interview required?
Interviews are required of all candidates admitted to the Smeal MBA. For each deadline, the admissions committee selects individuals to invite for an admissions interview.
Is it better to do an interview in person; does a webcam interview have the same weight?
In general, face-to-face interviews are preferable, but we also offer webcam interviews to those candidates who are unable to visit with us personally.
Webcam interviews (through programs such as Skype) help make our interviews more personable and allow us to get to know a candidate better.
When should I expect an interview invitation?
The applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and interview invitations are sent out within 3-4 weeks of the review of your application generally on a first come first serve basis.
Are all applicants interviewed?
Interviews are conducted by invitation only, so not all Smeal MBA applicants are interviewed. For each deadline, the admissions committee selects individuals to invite for an admissions interview. All candidates admitted to the program conduct an admissions interview.
How should I prepare for the interview?
The purpose of the interview is to better understand you as an MBA candidate for our program. We encourage you to relax and be ready to talk about your goals, your experiences and your MBA aspirations. This is our best opportunity to get to know you beyond your application. It gives us an opportunity to take you "off paper" and get to know you as a person. We should both come away from the interview with a better sense of fit between you and the Smeal MBA.
When will I receive my decision letter?
Application decisions are made on a rolling basis. Specifically, you'll hear back from us not later than December 1 (for applications received by the October 1 deadline); February 1 (for applications received by the December 1 deadline); April 1 (for applications received by the February 1 deadline); and June 1 (for applications received by the April 1 deadline).
I applied to the program in an early deadline and have received notification that I will not be admitted. Can I re-submit my application for a later deadline in the same year to be re-considered?
Applicants are only eligible to apply once per year. To ensure fairness and equity of the process, applicants may not be reviewed a second time after a decision is made.
Is it possible to get feedback on my application if not granted acceptance?
Yes. If you were not offered admission and would like to know where your application fell short, contact us via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and request feedback on your admissions application. We will schedule an appointment to discuss your application in detail after the admissions cycle is complete for that year - between June through August of each year.
Does the Business school grant deferrals?
Yes, we do offer deferment for a period up to one year. However, we do require payment of the enrollment deposit to hold your spot for the next admissions cycle.
If I receive financial aid and request a deferment, may I also defer the financial aid?
Generally, no. Financial aid awards may not be deferred. Financial aid awards are made each year, based on the annual aid budget. If you defer your admission, you will automatically go into the pool for aid consideration in the next admissions cycle. Some extenuating circumstances do apply and we will discuss each situation individually.
May I reapply if I wasn't accepted previously?
Yes. You will however, need to write a new essay. You might choose to change your recommenders or email us and we will retain your old recommendations. If you are a re-applicant please contact us at: email@example.com to obtain an application fee waiver code.
If I am reapplying, do I need to pay the application fee again?
No, it is not necessary to pay the application fee a second time. If you are reapplying to the program please contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com to obtain an application fee waiver code.
If I was not admitted earlier and want to re-apply, what can I do to increase my chances of admission?
Most re-applicants try to improve one or more of their GMAT/GRE, GPA, and work experience aspects of their applications. Many of our re-applicants retake the GMAT/GRE to improve their scores. Applicants also try to gain more diverse work experience or increase their years of experience. Our best suggestion is to request a feedback appointment to discuss recommendations specific to you.
Work experience
Is work experience required, or can I apply right out of my undergraduate program?
You may apply immediately after finishing a bachelor's degree, but on average our students have nearly 4-5 years of full-time work experience prior to entering the MBA program. Applicants admitted directly into the MBA program without full-time work experience generally have superb academic credentials; evidence of leadership through extracurricular or community activities; and quality part-time, summer, and /or internship work experience. These applicants are mature and self-confident and can effectively articulate the reasons why they wish to attend business school at this time.
What type of work experience are you looking for in the admission process?
Successful candidates will have relevant, full-time professional work experience prior to applying to the Smeal MBA Program. On average, admitted candidates to the Smeal MBA Program have 4-5 years of work experience. No one industry or field is favored over another. We evaluate both the quantity and quality of your work experience with particular attention given to progress of responsibility, leadership ability, and strong team skills.
Does time spent in the military count as work experience?
Absolutely. We welcome candidates from military backgrounds and do count their years in the military towards their work experience.
Is working full-time as a student considered the same as working full time after graduating?
Statistically only post-undergraduate work experience is counted. The primary rationale is that post graduate employment is usually at a higher level and more relevant in preparing you for an MBA experience. During your application review we do look at all prior experience and working full-time while in school can factor favorably into an assessment of your dedication, while internships and co-ops aid in your business perspective.
I have just completed my undergraduate program in engineering. Should I work in engineering field or business field to be competitive for my MBA admission after 2-3 years?
There is no perfect job or kind of work experience for being competitive in MBA admissions. The admissions committee encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds. What matters really is the quality of your work experience irrespective of your field contribution, initiative for taking responsibilities, demonstrated leadership skills and teamwork.
I have less than your average of 5 years of work experience. Will this place me at a disadvantage in the admissions process?
The admissions committee reviews your application in its entirety. While the number of years of experience is important, the committee also places emphasis on the quality of your work experience. If you have demonstrated leadership and team skills, then even lesser number of years of experience might not be to your disadvantage. In exceptional cases, students straight out of their undergraduate degree may also be offered admission into the MBA program if they have demonstrated strong professional maturity and excellence in other areas.
Financing your MBA
What is the cost of the MBA Program?
The estimated expenses for one year in the program can be found at: http://www.smeal.psu.edu/mba/admission/tuition-and-financial-support.
What type of scholarships and financial aid are available?
Smeal offers scholarships and assistantships to many students each year. They are awarded based on merit using the admission criteria that considers academic ability, work experience, leadership skills, and overall fit with the program.
All applicants are automatically considered for funding and there is no additional application for these awards. For full consideration, candidates should apply by the February 1 application deadline.
Funded by alumni and friends of Penn State to attract outstanding students, these one-time awards typically range from $5,000 to $10,000. In recent years, approximately 20 percent of incoming students have received a scholarship.
Assistantships are two-year awards funded by Penn State to attract outstanding students and to provide support to fulfill the University's Mission. Recipients work 10 hours per week for the Smeal College with responsibilities ranging from assisting faculty to working in one of Smeal's research centers.
In return, students receive a 100% waiver of tuition, subsidized health insurance, and a stipend of approximately $7,000/academic year. In a student's second year, some assistantships are adjusted to 20 hours per week with a corresponding doubling of the stipend to approximately $14,000.
What opportunities exist for me to work in order to finance my MBA education?
Some students work part time in pre-existing roles or jobs throughout the town. This is relatively rare as students are primarily engaged in their MBA studies. We recommend working no more than 10 hours per week in the first year.
You can work as a Graduate Assistant if awarded a GA by the admissions committee. GA Recipients work 10 hours per week for the Smeal College with responsibilities ranging from assisting faculty to working in one of Smeal's research centers.

Award criteria are set by the donors. Some specifically target under-represented minorities. Others are specific to industry or academic interest. All are based on academic merit.
When do I apply for loans and external scholarships?
You should apply for loans and external scholarships after you are admitted. Based on your admit date you will have a specific deadline as to when your external scholarship applications (domestic students) are due. In order to expedite the application process, we encourage you to prepare your tax return early and complete the FAFSA (domestic applicants only) as soon as possible. International students can also get student loans provided they have a US co-signer.
When do I apply for the FAFSA and how often will I need to complete one?
You should complete your FAFSA as soon as you have a completed tax return; you will need the FAFSA for any school's financial aid allocation process. You will need to complete a FAFSA at the beginning of each academic year if you are applying for loans and/or scholarships.
What are the criteria for awarding financial aid (GA, TA fellowships etc.) at Smeal?
All scholarships and assistantships are awarded based on merit using the same criteria that is used for the admission decision. The criteria include multiple factors such as academic ability, work experience, fit with the program, leadership skills etc. All applicants are automatically considered for funding and there is no additional application for these awards.
Detailed information regarding these can be found at http://www.smeal.psu.edu/mba/admission/tuition-and-financial-support.
International applicants
What percentage of Smeal's MBA student population is international?
38% of the new incoming class is international population.
What is the application deadline for international applicants?
International applications can be submitted through all deadlines and therefore can be submitted up until the final deadline of April 1.
When will I be issued my I-20?
To complete your I-20 process you will work directly with the Penn State Office of Global Programs. Your I-20 can be issued only after you have officially been admitted, enrolled and paid your $1,000 enrollment deposit.
I only have one original copy of my undergraduate transcripts and do not want to send them. What can I do?
This is a common mistake. We do not require an original copy of your undergraduate transcripts, we require an official copy which your school should be able to issue (sometimes for a fee) to you at your request.

We're a little boy-crazy these days ... as in, obsessed with the menswear-inspired fashion trend. From bowties to blazers, we're taking our style cues from the guys
I recently went to a friend's wedding, and as I scanned the reception dance floor I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy when I saw all the guys dressed in slacks, loafers, and button-down shirts. They had to be more comfy than I was in my fitted cocktail dress and platform wedges. Don't get me wrong -- I love my dresses, skirts, and heels, but sometimes it's nice to trade in the frills for something more relaxed ... something menswear-inspired.

SNOW HILL — Greene County's budget balanced in June on desired federal inmate and quarter-cent tax funds is not the only reason the county's undesignated fund balance is well below the state minimum of 8 percent.
Other factors were revealed at Monday night's meeting by Chairman Jack Edmondson.
County Auditor Jay Parris brought to light last week the county's expenses fell short of revenue by $1.6 million and the unreserved fund balance was 2.61 percent — down from 15.37 percent, which is still below the state's recommended 24 percent.
While the quarter-cent tax referendum passed in November by voters, the funds are not being realized, as of yet. And so far, the jail is not able to lease out space for federal inmates.
"The difficulties fostered by the 2011-2012 budget could be compared to the perfect storm," Edmundson said, "where everything that could go wrong went wrong in varying degrees."
County Finance Officer Shawna Wooten said the auditor was finished with going through the records at the end of October and by the end of November, she and County Manager Don Davenport knew the budget was not looking right.
"(Davenport) was aware of the bottom line number by the end of the audit, as well," she said.
The commissioners receive a financial statement at the second meeting of the month for the previous month, she said. On that statement, they could see the total expenses versus revenue.
"In June, they would have an idea," Wooten said of the condition of the budget.
Those numbers would not necessarily reflect an actual problem if monies were due in shortly. However, Wooten said she was not aware that any of the commissioners had asked about the shape of the budget.
Commissioner Denny Garner said he was caught off-guard about the budget shortfall.
"However, I did advise the board last August that we were going to have a half-million dollar shortfall," he told the audience. "Now, the other $700,000, I was not aware of that."
Garner said he doesn't receive a financial statement every month.
"I don't know what the chairman has got in his notes," he said, "but I know that we will have a monthly financial report going forward."
Garner said the board approved the budget and expects its employees to "keep us in line with that budget."
Edmundson, reading an explanation during public comments, said the county estimated more revenue through ambulance fees because of reduced membership in the EMS squads around the county. However, the squads "made a comeback" and the county EMS did not have extra emergency calls.
There was also a delay in getting some of the Medicare and Medicaid payments. The lack of extra EMS revenue and federal funds created $400,000 in unrealized revenues.
The timing of Golden LEAF and Cooperative Extension funds for the farmers market contributed to the problem. A payment of $436,010 is expected to be made to the county by the end of February, Edmundson said.
Services provided by the Greene County Department of Social Services TANF program were $216,578 higher than anticipated.
The budget included $280,000 for unrealized inmate fees.
"Renting jail space to other counties got delayed," Edmundson said, "because the sheriff had a difficult time hiring an adequate number of qualified personnel in a timely manner, as well as the time needed to make sure his current staff had received adequate training in the new facility."
Sheriff Lemmie Smith passed out copies of the revenue the jail has produced for the county. That revenue, totaling $513,208 from January 2011 to November 2012, doesn't go into the sheriff's department, he said. It goes into the general fund to help pay for the loan for building the jail.
Additionally, the county budgeted based on selling the foreclosed property of the Vandifords, who had taken out a loan with the county for their former restaurant in Snow Hill. Without potential buyers, the budget lacked $100,737.
"So how much is anticipated to come in for sure?" Snow Hill resident Carolyn Newcomb asked.
After much figuring, Edmundson said the county could count on $836,000 with certainty.
After stating the budget shortfalls, Edmundson read another prepared statement regarding proposed methods of straightening out the budget. These suggestions were drawn up during a meeting consisting of Edmundson, Davenport and County Attorney Borden Parker.
Suggestions include:
n A hiring freeze for all general fund employees effective Dec. 18
n Commissioners reviewing all vacant positions
n Out-of-county travel pay freeze for all general fund employees — not client-related
In addition, each department head is required to present their justifications to the board for filling a vacancy, and all vacancies must remain vacant at least three months.
"I think we need to take a look at this," Commissioner James Shackleford said, "because all these things are going to have an impact on people wanting to work for the county."
Edmundson said the board will appoint a personnel committee and finance committee to review the budget and monthly finance reports.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich.-Behind a 70-61 win at Central Michigan on Saturday evening, Miami University's men's basketball team seized the program's 600th Mid-American Conference win, the most by any MAC program.
Miami (8-12, 3-5) pulled out a tight game, draining 9-of-10 free throws over the final 1:33. Junior guard Allen Roberts poured in 19 points to lead the RedHawks, while junior forward Will Felder added 11 and sophomore guard Will Sullivan chipped in 10.
Miami shot 52.2 percent from the field in the second half after a 34.6 percent shooting effort in the opening 20 minutes.
The Chippewas (9-12, 2-6) opened up a 12-8 lead early in the game, but Miami used a 9-0 flurry off buckets from junior forward Drew McGhee, Sullivan and junior forward Jon Harris along with a free throw from Roberts and two from freshman guard Reggie Johnson to post a 17-12 advantage by the 7:09 mark of the first half.
CMU came back to knot the game 19-19 off a Kyle Randall 3-pointer at the 5:28 mark. Harris sunk a pair of triples down the stretch to push Miami to a six-point lead with 59 seconds to go in the opening half, 29-23. After a missed layup by the Chippewas, Harris came up with a defensive board with 30 seconds remaining. The RedHawks tried to set up for a final shot to end the half, but a bad pass led to a turnover and a foul with five seconds to go, sending CMU's Finis Craddock to the line. He hit one of two free throws and the RedHawks took a 29-24 lead into the half.
The teams went back and forth in the early stages of the second half. Miami was able to extend its lead to six points off a Felder free throw at 18:06, 32-26, and then off a McGhee jumper at 16:17, 34-28. The Chippewas used an 8-2 run, capped by a John Simons 3-pointer, to knot the game at 36 with 13:46 to play. Miami quickly reclaimed the lead when Sullivan leaped up to tap in a missed RedHawk field goal attempt at the 12:54 mark to put Miami up, 38-36. The teams traded buckets, but a three-point play by CMU's Randall handed CMU a 41-40 lead at the 11:43 mark.
After CMU extended its lead to three a few times, Roberts scored the first eight points of a 11-2 Miami run that put Miami up 54-48 with 5:48 to play. The Chippewas closed within two with 2:21 to play off a Randall layup, 59-57, but Roberts came back with a key layup under the basket at 1:52 to put Miami up four, 61-57. Johnson sunk 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch while Felder and junior guard Quinten Rollins each went 2-for-2 from the line over the waning minutes to secure Miami's historic win.
The Chippewas were led by Randall with a game-high 20 points. Blake Hibbits added 12 points and six rebounds for CMU.
Miami continues a two-game road stretch at Toledo on Wednesday, Feb. 6. The RedHawks then return home to host Akron at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9 in the first game of a men's and women's basketball doubleheader against the Zips. It will be Hall of Fame Day where Miami Athletics will honor its six inductees--Dale Cohen (women's tennis), Terry Hoeppner (football coach), PL (Pete) Miller (men's track & field), Ben Roethlisberger (football), Karin Sherr (synchronized skating) and Kyle Voska (golf)--at halftime of the men's game.

As of May 2015, Wisconsin is one of 23 Republican state government trifectas.
Article IV of the Wisconsin Constitution contains provisions related to the meeting of the Legislature. Section 11 of Article IV states that the times for regular sessions are to be provided by law. Session times and dates are established by calendar, which is voted on at the beginning of each two year session. Section 11 also states that the Governor of Wisconsin has the power to call the Legislature into special session.
- See also: Dates of 2014 state legislative sessions
In 2014, the Legislature is projected to be in session from January 7 through December 1.
- See also: Dates of 2013 state legislative sessions
In 2013, the Legislature will be in session from January 7 through a date to be determined.
Major issues
Following the extreme polarization of the last two years, Gov. Scott Walker (R) said he would push for a more moderate agenda in 2013. Alongside the creation of a new budget, main issues will include job creation, workforce development, tax cuts, education reform and transportation infrastructure.[1]
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Legislature was in session from January 10 through March 16 with a return for limited business on April 24.
Major issues
With potential recalls of Governor Scott Walker (R), Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch (R) and four Republican state senators, debate on major legislation was expected to be limited.[2] Going into the session, Republican leaders said they were focused on passing bills on only four main issues - clearing the way for an ore mine in northern Wisconsin, easing laws regarding development on wetlands, environmental regulation, and creating a venture capital fund to help start-up businesses.[3]
The six recalls dominated the session. Ultimately on June 5, recalls against the Governor, Lt. Governor, and three of the state senators were unsuccessful. The fourth recall, that against Van Wanggaard, went to a recount. Wanggaard was defeated, giving Democrats control of the Senate.
- See also: Dates of 2011 state legislative sessions
In 2011, the Legislature adjourned a special session at the request of Governor Scott Walker on January 4, 2011. The special session was called to consider legislation regarding tax credits, tort law, medical savings accounts, other legislation relating to taxation, and the budget repair bill. The legislature's special session will be ongoing. [4] The regular session began on January 11. An extraordinary session was called by the Legislature from June 13-30, with another extraordinary session scheduled for July 19-29. The next scheduled floor period is September 13, 2011. Though the January special session is ongoing, special session bills may be taken up in the interim. [5]
- See also: Dates of 2010 state legislative sessions
In 2010, the Legislature convened its legislative session on January 19, and it ended its last scheduled floor-period on April 22. [6][7]
Ethics and transparency
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. Wisconsin was given a grade of D in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[8]
- See also: Redistricting in Wisconsin
Redistricting in Wisconsin is under the control of the state legislature. If the state legislature fails to reach an agreement, the maps are drawn by either state or federal courts. The State Senate and State Assembly draft maps for the new state legislative districts and the U.S. Congressional districts. Both chambers must pass the new map, and the governor can sign or veto the map for any reason.[9]
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Wisconsin's population increased from 5.36 million to 5.69 million between 2000 and 2010.[10] This population growth was large enough to allow the state to retain its eight Congressional seats.[11]
Republicans held the majority in the State Senate, State Assembly, and the governorship after the 2010 elections. As a result, the redistricting process was completely under the control of one party.
The Republican leadership dismissed the Democratic-hired firm that was going to aid with redistricting and instead brought in an outside group to aid the process. This new firm's leader had donated to Republican candidates in the past.[12] The redistricting process was accelerated by the summer 2011 recall elections, and Governor Scott Walker signed a bill that gave the legislature the power to redistrict state boundaries before the localities finished their redistricting processes.[13] The state Republicans unveiled their plan on July 8, 2011. Democrats criticized the plan as gerrymandering, but Republicans defended their map.[14] The maps passed the legislature on July 19, 2011, and signed into law by Governor Walker on August 9, 2011.[15]
Several lawsuits were filed as a result of the new maps.[16] The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board identified errors in the maps, likely due to the creation of the state boundaries before the localities finished drawing their boundaries. A court also determined that two Milwaukee-area districts needed to be redrawn to better represent minority-area populations.[17]
The Wisconsin State Senate is the upper house of the Wisconsin State Legislature. Together, they comprise the legislative branch of the state of Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Constitution ties the size of the State Senate to that of the State Assembly, by limiting its size to no less than 1/4, nor more than 1/3, of the size of the Assembly. Currently, Wisconsin is divided into 33 Senate Districts (1/3 of the current Assembly membership of 99) apportioned amongst the state based on population as determined by the decennial census, for a total of 33 senators. Each member represents an average of 172,333 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[18] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 162,536.[19] Similar to the U.S. Senate, in addition to its duty of passing all legislation passed through the legislature, the State Senate has the exclusive responsibility of confirming certain governor's appointments, particularly cabinet secretaries (as part of the system of checks and balances) and members of boards and commissions.
Senators are elected for four-year terms, staggered so that half the Senate is up for election every two years. If a vacancy occurs in a Senate seat between elections, it may be filled only by a special election.
Partisan composition
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Wisconsin State Senate from 1992-2013.
State Assembly
The Wisconsin State Assembly is the lower house of the Wisconsin Legislature. Together with the smaller Wisconsin State Senate, the two comprise the legislative branch of Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Constitution limits the size of the State Assembly to between 54 and 100 members inclusive. Currently, Wisconsin is divided into 99 Assembly Districts apportioned amongst the state based on population as determined by the decennial census, for a total of 99 Representatives. Each member represents an average of 57,444 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[20] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 54,179.[21]
Representatives are elected for two year terms, elected during the fall elections. If a vacancy occurs in an Assembly seat between elections, it may be filled only by a special election.

- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2013, members of the Wisconsin Legislature are paid $49,943/year. Legislators receive a maximum of $88/day per diem, set by the compensation commission. Based on the maximum, the leadership of each house determines what amount to authorize for each session.[22]
When sworn in
Wisconsin legislators assume office the first Monday in January following the election.
Joint committees
The Wisconsin State Legislature has the following standing committees:
- Administrative Rules
- Employment Relations
- Finance
- Information Policy and Technology
- Joint Legislative Audit
- Joint Legislative Council
- Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties
- Legislative Organization
- Retirement Systems
- Tax Exemptions
Partisan balance 1992-2013
Wisconsin State Senate: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Wisconsin State Senate for 11 years while the Republicans were the majority for 11 years. The final three years of the study depicted a shift in the Wisconsin senate with all three years being Republican trifectas
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
Wisconsin State House: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Wisconsin State House of Representatives for 5 years while the Republicans were the majority for 17 years. The final three years of the study depicted a shift in the Wisconsin House with all three years being Republican trifectas.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin State Senate and the Wisconsin House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
SQLI and partisanship
The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Wisconsin state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. During the course of the study, Wisconsin experienced both Democratic and Republican trifectas as well as divided governments. The state's SQLI rankings were higher earlier in the study, with its highest ranking, finishing 7th, occurring in 1992, 1995 and 1998 during both Republican trifectas and a divided government. Its lowest ranking, finishing 30th, occurred in 2007 during a divided government. The state's rankings began to improve during the most recent years of the study, finishing 13th in 2012 during a Republican trifecta.
- SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: 21.00
- SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 10.00
- SQLI average with divided government: 17.27

Difficulty Treating Canine Diabetes Insipidus
by Bruce Ferguson
Ceasar presented as a 10 year old neutered male white German Shepherd dog with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Central diabetes insipidus is caused by reduced secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). When target cells in the kidney lack the biochemical machinery necessary to respond to the secretion of normal of increased circulating levels of ADH, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus results. Affected animals excrete large volumes of hypotonic urine and drink equally large amounts of water.

|Congressman Young Donates Books to ACH
Dr. Michael Eisenfeld (General Pediatrics Clinical Practice Director) accepted a donation of books for patients at a special presentation on Wednesday, April 8. The donation was courtesy of Congressman C. W. Young to the Reach Out and Read (ROR) program. As part of the ROR program children receive a book on their well-patient visit when coming to the clinic. Shirley Miaoulis presented the new books on behalf of Congressman Young.
The ROR helps to make early literacy a standard part of pediatric primary care. Following the ROR model, pediatricians, family physicians and nurses advise parents that reading aloud is the most important thing they can do to help their children love books and to start school ready to learn.
Pediatricians and other clinicians are trained in the three part ROR model in an effort to promote pediatric literacy:
1. At every well-child check-up, doctors and nurses encourage parents to read aloud to their young children, and offer age-appropriate tips and encouragement. Parents who may have difficulty reading are encouraged to invent their own stories to go with picture books and spend time naming objects with their children.
2. Pediatricians, family physicians and nurses give every child between the ages of six months and five years a new, developmentally appropriate children's book to keep.
3. In literacy rich waiting room environments, often with volunteer readers, parents and children learn about the pleasures and techniques of looking at books together.

Written during a time of emotional turmoil, Ulvaeus has admitted that the recent divorce between Benny and Frida was at the back of his mind during the songwriting process for this song. However, there is no doubt that he was influenced by the marital split of his bandmates. Björn sought approval from Benny and Frida before the group began working with the song. When recording began in March 1981, only one month had passed since their separation.
"When All Is Said & Done" saw Frida giving words and emotions detailing all of her sorrow & pain, not only for herself, but for all of those who had been through a separation. The backing track the group had first recorded was completely changed after Frida had laid down her powerful & emotional vocals. As Frida herself later recalled: "All my sadness was captured in that song."
This track is often considered one of ABBA's finest hidden gems. To this day, many believe that had ABBA chosen to release "When All Is Said and Done" in place of "Head Over Heels" as the follow-up single to "One of Us" in Europe and other territories, the quartet would have been rewarded with yet another worldwide hit.
ABBA recorded a Spanish version of "When All Is Said and Done", "No Hay A Quien Culpar", which was released as a single in Mexico and several other South American countries. The Spanish title written by Buddy and Mary McCluskey translates as "No One Is To Blame". The track was also slightly remixed, for example leaving out the double-tracked snare drum of the original English version and adding new synth overdubs, giving the song a warmer feeling than the original version. In Mexico it reached the #29 chart position.
"It's been there in my dreams,
the scene I see unfold
Two at last, flesh and blood, to cherish and to hold
Jealous fools will suffer, yes, I know and I confess:
Once I lost my way when something good had just begun
Lesson learned - it's history - when all is said and done"
In the context of the movie the lyrics also take on an entirely different meaning, as opposed to the original which describes a couple going their separate ways it portrays two lovers finding their way back to each other and rekindling their romance. "When All Is Said And Done" is also the only song present in the film that was not included in the original stage version.

This review appears in the June 06 issue of PC Advisor, available now in all good newsagents.
Philips' Showline Media Center MCP9350i could be compared to the Sony Vaio VGX-XL100 entertainment PC we looked at a month ago (click here to read our review). However, this would be unfair.
The Philips has far more to offer, especially in terms of connectivity – it not only gives users just about every conceivable option for hooking up to a TV or monitor, but gives you the cables to do it. And if you want to use Scart or VGA, you have those options as well.
The Philips also beats the Sony in terms of design. It's not often that you can criticise the styling of a Vaio-branded product, but in the looks department the Philips is clearly the better of the two media systems.
And then there's the usability factor. The MCP9350i's remote control has a logical design and the keyboard, though a little small and fiddly, is fine for occasional use. A good Media Center PC should be unobtrusive, fitting in well with your other home-entertainment products. Unfortunately, this is where we encountered one slight problem with the Philips – it's a rather noisy machine.
Though it would be drowned out by whatever you were watching or listening to, there is a noticeable hum to the operation of the PC, especially when it starts up. This wasn't the case with the Sony – we could barely tell it was switched on, it was so quiet. It's a minor quibble, but worth mentioning, as anyone who bought the original Xbox will agree.

Should I upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?
by deluca_9 - 12/30/12 2:26 PM
I currently have an ASUS laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed on it. I use my laptop for mostly basic tasks including schoolwork, music downloads, web surfing, minor gaming, video viewing, etc. Would it be worth upgrading to Windows 8? And will it really make a difference if my computer was integrated for Windows 7? I have the option of getting Windows 8 cheap, so price isn't an issue. Also, if I were to install Windows 8, is there any way of reverting back to Windows 7?

Daeja ViewONE Pro
ViewONE Pro is a completely modularized – the first zero-installation Module-On-Demand™ viewer, specifically designed to take advantage of web technology so that you can view, zoom, magnify, scroll, pan, rotate, flip and print a variety of image document formats easily and quickly. ViewONE Pro allows a range of modules to be added that provide additional format support or added functionality. ViewONE Pro's innovative Advanced Cache Manager™ (ACM) protects ViewONE Pro and the modules from accidental or automated session-end cache clearance. The ACM only downloads additional modules to its cache when they are actually first needed, not as part of the initial download, which reduces user wait times to a minimum.
Unlike other Java applets, ViewONE Pro is fully extendable, allowing you to add support for additional formats, or add new functions and features as your needs grow, still without any user installation required. Only ViewONE Pro can create its own cache folder, holding the viewer in a decompressed format. This delivers a substantially-improved startup time, and enables the applet to be stored securely even when using HTTPS connections with browser cache clearance. Modules include:
PDF Module – adds the ability to view existing PDF files using Adobe's own PDF library, without the need for a separate viewer. View existing PDF annotations written within Acrobat, and use ViewONE's own Annotations Module facility to create additional mark-ups. PDF files are also completely searchable.
Annotations Module – providing extensive annotations/markup capability, including highlights, text box, notes, redactions, among others. In addition, flexible hyperlinks can be created for page-to-page, annotation-to-annotation, document-to-web page and click-to-JavaScript linking.
Office Module – adds viewing support for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook (.msg), and .eml formats.
Universal Viewing Module – adds viewing support for over 300 file formats including Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Visio, etc.
Document Streaming Server Module – splits multipage TIFF and PDF documents on the fly for significantly improved document browsing speed – split pages can also be cached and configured to load pages ahead or back based on user requirements.
Permanent Redactions Server Module – allows 'burning' of annotations and redactions on any viewing format by creating a new file output as a TIFF image or in some cases a searchable PDF.
Print Accelerator Module for high performance printing for all MS Windows users (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP & Vista).
Auto-language sensing – built-in support for 27 languages, enabling truly global usage.
ViewONE Pro requires only one license per web site (no end user licensing) to keep license costs low.
ViewONE Pro is the first java applet image viewer to be extendable on the fly with additional modules without user installation, offering support for additional file formats (PDF Module, Office Module, Universal Viewing Module), and for additional viewer functionality (Annotations Module, Permanent Redaction Server Module, Document Streaming Server Module and the Print Accelerator Module). No user installation – easy server integration followed by automatic rollout and updates to users; No end user licensing – low-cost server-based licensing scheme; Support for 27 different languages with automatic sensing; Low pricing for fast ROI!
