As Cadbury made its fi- nal formal defense against Kraft’s “derisory” hostile $16.5 billion bid by report- ing strong 2009 sales growth, Chairman Roger Carr was more amenable about the prospect of a Hershey bid. Carr said Hershey had “re- affirmed” its interest recently, but has made no formal offer and may not. However, he said there was more of a natural under- standing between Hershey and Cadbury as two pure play confectionary companies. The two companies already are partners in international product licenses and share a history of charitable works, but Carr maintained that Cad- bury’s independence remained its priority, rather than a “white knight” deal with Hershey. LGH among finalists for McGaw Prize Lancaster General Health was among four finalists for the 2009 Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Com- munity Service, the health system announced Thursday. The national award recog- nizes health care organiza- tions that serve as role mod- els for improving the health and well-being of people in their communities. As a finalist, Lancaster General Health won $10,000, which it will use to help ad- dress the top community health needs here — reducing obesity, reducing tobacco use and increasing community access to health care. The winner was Heartland Health in St. Joseph, Mo., which received $100,000. Other final- ists were Alegent Health in Omaha, Neb., and St. Vincent Health in Indianapolis. Bernanke argues for Fed banking powers WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke waged a fresh battle against Senate efforts to strip the Fed from banking supervision. Bernanke, in a paper to Congress released Thursday, argued that stripping the Fed of such power would deprive the central bank of informa- tion that factors into the setting of interest rates to influence overall economic activity. Taking care of business BY ENELLY BETANCOURT Staff Writer A new business leadership center recently opened its doors at Millersville Univer- sity. The Entrepreneurial Lead- ership Center was established to promote regional economic development through pro- grams for entrepreneurs and small businesses. “We do research and we do study,” said Melvin Allen, proj- ect director and executive di- rector of the university’s Civic and Community Engagement and Research Project. “We feel our advantage is that we will offer more in the way of in-house research and studies on businesses and in- dustry,” he said. Allen’s associates are Mar- lene Arnold, liaison in part- nership and collaboration with local businesses and or- ganizations; and Jean Kabon- go, fellow for entrepreneurial education, who will focus on campus initiatives. There are several excel- lent organizations in the area offering support on entrepre- neurship, Arnold said, but the group wants to complement their efforts by providing other services. “I think that to really pull ahead, the single most impor- tant advantage a company can have is people with cultural expertise and appropriately developed relationships,” said Arnold. The center is funded by a $207,000 grant from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Fees for services have yet to be determined.

The “eStore” Procter & Gamble Co. is testing, an un- usual venture for a consumer products manufacturer, could put it in direct competition with some of its biggest cus- tomers, major traditional and online retailers. But the site’s leaders say it is a consumer research “lab” and retailers will benefit be- cause they will get to share its findings on how shoppers respond online and in stores to digital ads, coupons, store promotions and other fac- tors. “We’re creating this giant sandbox for the brands to play in,” said Mark Layton, chief executive of PFSweb, which will run the new site. To get the consumers who actually buy those brands to play along, P&G will adver- tise the site — and hope the convenience of shopping on- line and the special offers at the site draw customers. P&G wouldn’t say whether the eStore’s prices will beat those in stores or on Web sites that also sell competi- tors’ products. But shipping initially will be at a flat rate of $5. Many major retailers — including many that sell P&G products — are beefing up their Web businesses to grab some of the continuing growth online and keep their sites competitive. They’re adding millions of grocery and other products and new kinds of services and even creating alliances with rival retailers. Forrester Research expects retailers to report that their total U.S. online sales rose 11 percent to $156.1 billion in 2009. But Web sales remain a small fraction of the nation’s commerce. At P&G, where CEO Bob McDonald is looking online for growth, only $500 million of $79 billion in annual revenue, or 0.6 percent, comes online — mainly through Am- azon.com, Walmart.com and other retailers. P&G officials don’t expect the eStore to boost the man- ufacturer’s revenue or profit very much very soon. They’re more interested in the data it will produce about their shoppers and what works for them: product pairings, social media links, environmentally friendly pitches, packaging options, even the Web stand- by of banner ads. P&G has increasingly dab- bled online, buying a small stake last year in British on- line grocer Ocado, mainly to study its business, and do- ing job swaps with Google to learn about the online world.

Please see ONLINE, page B11 BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Business Writers NEW YORK — Early re- ports from stores on the holi- day shopping season looked good. But it turns out retail sales actually fell in Decem- ber, leaving economists scratching their heads about the state of the recovery. Sales dropped 0.3 percent from the month before, most- ly because people spent less on cars and appliances, the government said Thursday. For the year, they fell 6.2 per- cent. Economists said the month- ly decline could just be a blip and suggested looking at the past two months together, which would show spending rising modestly. But with un- employment high and credit tight, the report shows the re- covery remains tentative. “I wasn’t expecting this. It’s a bit of a puzzle,” said Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Economy.com. “Con- sumer spending is growing very weakly, but the key thing is that it’s growing.” Retail sales have now fall- en two years in a row. The decline in 2008 was much smaller, 0.5 percent. They are the only two years sales have fallen since the government started keeping records in 1992. For December, there was a small 0.8 percent decline in auto sales, even as automak- ers report they sold more cars and trucks. That could be be- cause fewer luxury cars were sold and automakers offered more incentives for buyers, said Jeff Schuster, executive director of automotive fore- casting for J.D. Power. The next few months still look scary for retailers. Stores are finding shoppers have little reason to buy now that the holidays have passed. January sales are off to a weaker-than-expected start, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. As the nation grapples with 10 percent unemployment, many Americans are basing their purchases on immedi- ate need and are reluctant or unable to borrow money to remodel homes or buy cars. Outstanding credit card debt, auto loans and other con- sumer borrowing fell by the largest amount on record in November, the 10th straight month of decline, the Federal Reserve said last week. Spending on autos and housing have also helped to spur robust rebounds in the past, but those two areas show no signs of a major turn- around. Tight credit will also limit spending even if people start to feel more secure about their jobs, said Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers. A new report on the labor market also gave a cloudy outlook. The Labor Depart- ment said the number of new- ly laid-off workers requesting unemployment benefits rose by 11,000 for the week, to a seasonally adjusted 444,000.

    A new business leadership center recently opened its doors at Millersville Univer-sity.

    The Entrepreneurial Lead-ership Center was established to promote regional economic development through pro-grams for entrepreneurs and small businesses.

    We do research and we do study, said Melvin Allen, proj-ect director and executive di-rector of the universitys Civic and Community Engagement and Research Project.

    We feel our advantage is that we will offer more in the way of in-house research and

    studies on businesses and in-dustry, he said.

    Allens associates are Mar-lene Arnold, liaison in part-nership and collaboration with local businesses and or-ganizations; and Jean Kabon-go, fellow for entrepreneurial education, who will focus on campus initiatives.

    There are several excel-lent organizations in the area offering support on entrepre-neurship, Arnold said, but the group wants to complement their efforts by providing other services.

    I think that to really pull ahead, the single most impor-tant advantage a company can have is people with cultural expertise and appropriately

    developed relationships, said Arnold.

    The center is funded by a $207,000 grant from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

    Fees for services have yet to be determined.

  • F&M, MU slip in U.S. News rankings Elizabethtown holds steady; Harvard No. 1 Intelligencer Journal Published: Aug 22, 2008 00:57 EST By MADELYN PENNINO, Staff Millersville University and Franklin & Marshall College slipped slightly in U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking, but school officials said the results aren't entirely reflective of the positive things happening on campuses.

    In the report, which was released today online, Millersville University ranked 58th among U.S. colleges in the north that offer a broad range of undergraduate and master's degree programs. Last year the school ranked 45th.

    Among the nation's liberal-arts schools F&M ranked 42nd, slipping from the 40th spot last year.

    Elizabethtown College remains ranked at No. 5 among the northern region's top baccalaureate colleges.

    Schools were notified of the report earlier this week.

    The data is based on criteria such as enrollment, program completion, faculty, staff, graduation rates, institutional prices, financial aid, freshman retention rates, class size and reputation.

    Harvard University is back at No. 1 in the rankings for the first time in 12 years.

    Princeton University slipped to No. 2, ending eight straight years of at least sharing the top ranking. Yale University followed at No. 3.

    Millersville tied with Shippensburg University and were the highest ranked schools among the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education universities. "We are pleased with the ranking," said Vilas Prabhu, Millersville's provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The exact ranking can fluctuate. Our goal is to always rank in the first tier."

    Prabhu said Millersville consistently does well in areas such as graduation rates and SAT scores.

    In the 2007-08 school year, the school's graduation rate was 81 percent. Average SAT scores for incoming freshman were between 950 and 1250.

    A large part of the rankings 25 percent is determined by peer assessments where colleges rate each other through surveys.

    "By ranking your peers it gives (U.S. News & World Report) more credibility because they can say 'we're not the ones coming up with these rankings,' " Prabhu said.

    However, Prabhu said the problem with peer assessments is that schools aren't always aware of little details that can make a difference, such as the percentage of faculty who have earned doctorate degrees, internship and service-learning programs.

    "They don't know all the good practices we are doing," Prabhu said.

    The annual report has long drawn criticism from college officials who say the report contains flawed methodology, is a one-size fits all list and puts more weight on pedigree than value.

  • But Prabhu said he believes the report has merit. "It's a valuable tool in addition to a lot of other things. Students should visit campuses and talk to students before choosing a college."

    Sara Harberson, F&M's vice president for enrollment and management and dean of admission, agreed with Prabhu.

    "The college search is a very personal experience," Harberson said Thursday. "Students will have a gut reaction. There's still something valuable about visiting a school and getting butterflies."

    Harberson said F&M's ranking reflects all the good things happening at the school such as a 12 percent increase in admission applications, a flourishing visitation program and rising SAT scores.

    For instance, Harberson said 600 more families have visited the campus over last year.

    "More families are taking tours and attending information sessions," Harberson said. Admissions "is a very individualized personal process. We want to be seen as much more than a number."

    Elizabethtown College did not return phone calls Thursday concerning the rankings.

    This year the report includes two new rankings. The first is a list of up-and-coming institutions colleges that make innovative improvements.

    The second will be the first-ever rankings of colleges by high school guidance counselors.

    Highlights of the 2009 edition of America's Best Colleges rankings will be published in the Sept. 1 edition of U.S. News & World Report.

While Millersville's spokesman is pleased with the ranking(?). The reason they both fell, while E-town remained the same? Could it be quality of education? You know, the part folks are actually buying when they pay for higher education? Whirlwind Assuming we decided there was any reason to rank schools, and that the methodology was sound, where is the statistical analysis to show us that there is ANY difference between being #40 and #42?!? Am I going to choose CalTech over MIT because one is #1, and the other #2?! No- I'm going to look at the school size, strength in planned major, overall school offerings, and whether you want "fun in the sun" or rowing on the Charles... Full disclosure- my alma is one of the schools that refuses to participate in the rankings "arms race" (but hey, it was good enough for Steve Jobs to drop out of!).

    Millersville retirement community on track

    Article Map Related Share It Don't Link Tags

    By DAVID OCONNOR, Staff Writer

    A year and a half after announcing the plan, Lancaster developer John Hogan is "more so than ever" committed to his dream of building a retirement community near Millersville.

    "The interest that we're getting, because of how we're putting the project together, has been very, very uplifting," Hogan said today.

    And he's about to take another step forward.

    That next step for Hogan's "Funk's Farm Village," a retirement community eyed for South Duke Street across from the Crossgates community, comes in early March.

    The Manor Township zoning board will consider a request from Hogan that, if approved, would send the project on to the land-development phase.

    The Manor Township board meets Wednesday, March 4, at 7 p.m. at the township building.

    Hogan is asking for a special exception for the plan, on property zoned rural and general commercial and mostly adjoining already-developed areas.

    The new community would encircle the popular Funk's Farm Market, which will remain open, and would have nearly 300 residents age 55 and older.

    Hogan, who announced plans for the community in late 2007, has gone the extra mile to keep adjoining property owners informed of what his plans are, Manor Township officials said today.

    Keeping the neighbors up to date "was important to me," Hogan said.

    And with "the level of responsibility we feel for the neighbors ... it only makes sense to be good stewards of the land," he said.

    Hogan, who has hand-delivered letters explaining his plans to neighbors, has said the retirement village would be geared toward the "vibrant part of our society that just happens to be 65, 70 years of age."

    Within a year or two, he has estimated, more than 100,000 of Lancaster County's half-million or so residents will be 60 or older.

    The trend in retirement living is to put retirement buildings on or near college campuses, mixing young and old people. The village site is near Millersville University.

    The plan also calls for providing elder living that's "more like a house than a hospital," as one description of the project had stated.

    Last summer, the Manor Township supervisors gave the go-ahead to a zoning text amendment regarding Funk's Farm Village, a step in advance of the March zoning meeting.

    Hogan has worked closely on the village project with Fred Funk of the well-known farm market, a Millersville-area institution since 1963.

    The village will include a wide range of assisted-living "lifecare" homes and other amenities.

    GOP lawmakers urge university: cancel Ayers Local House membersdont want ex-radicalto speak.

    Article Photos Documents Map Related Share It Don't Link TagsBy TOM MURSE, Staff Writer

    Lancaster County's Republican state House delegation is putting pressure on leaders of the higher-education system and Millersville University to cancel an upcoming lecture by radical-turned-professor William Ayers.

    The county's seven GOP lawmakers say Ayers' appearance would represent "an inappropriate promotion of a man whose history includes violence against the United States of America."

    Their remarks were delivered in a Feb. 11 letter to State System of Higher Education Chancellor John Cavanaugh and Millersville University President Francine McNairy.

    Read letter from GOP lawmakers (PDF)

    Neither official had responded to the lawmakers as of this morning.

    A spokeswoman for the university, Janet Kacskos, confirmed that McNairy had received the letter but said Millersville would have no public comment on it. Kacskos said Ayers' March 19 lecture would go on as planned.

    Kenn Marshall, a spokesman for the State System of Higher Education, which oversees the the state-owned universities including Millersville, said Cavanaugh had received the letter and was planning to respond to the lawmakers.

    "I'm not sure what his response will be," said Marshall, "but he has every intent to talk to the legislators."

    The seven Republican lawmakers are Reps. Scott W. Boyd, whose district covers Millersville Borough; John Bear; Tom Creighton; Bryan Cutler; Gordon Denlinger; David Hickernell; and Katie True.

    Ayers was a founder 40 years ago of the radical group Weather Underground, which was responsible for riots and the bombing of several public buildings in the late 1960s and 1970s, including the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and the New York City Police Department.

    He is now a respected university professor and a member of Chicago's intellectual establishment. Lawmakers here, however, are highly critical of his philosophies on education.

    "Dr. McNairy said his philosophy falls in line with their direction on urban education," said Boyd, of West Lampeter Township. "I don't know that we want to be teaching teachers or students that revolutionary activism should be a part of our curriculum. That to me is the bigger issue."

    Though lawmakers control spending at the state universities, Boyd said he had no intention of seeking any sort of censure of Millersville.

    "I don't think it's appropriate to penalize students for a decision that's made by the administration," said Boyd.

    The lawmakers' letter claims Ayers advocates an educational philosophy that "promotes student and parental political activism instead of achievement testing." The letter criticized Ayers for advocating that educators "teach against oppression, against America's history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation."

    "Mr. Ayers' work on urban education has significant radical components," the lawmakers write in the letter. "If that is the direction that Millersville University believes it should go, then we believe a full curriculum review is necessary."

    True, of East Hempfield Township, said it was Ayers' violent past that has her upset. "To me, it is a slap at patriots and Americans to bring in a guy who tried to blow up U.S. government buildings," she said.

    The letter also compares Ayers' actions with the Weather Underground to those of Theodore Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber. Both men argued their actions, though extreme, were necessary to attract attention to their causes.

    "To argue otherwise is intellectually dishonest," the lawmakers write.

    "... The decision by Millersville University to invite such an individual to our community is patently offensive and sends an incredibly insensitive and repugnant message to the men and women of our armed forces as well as other law abiding citizens," write the legislators.

    "Since the beginning of the year, he has been denied entrance to Canada and other previously scheduled appearances have been canceled," the lawmakers write. "Millersville should do the same."

    McNairy, in a statement earlier this week, defended the Academic Cultural Enrichment Committee's invitation to Ayers to discuss his work as a urban education theorist.

    She said she strongly disagreed with Ayers' past activities, but added that Millersville is a place where "inquiry is encouraged, ideas are expressed openly, and the dignity and rights of all individuals are respected and protected."

    Good grief! Doesn't anyone believe that a person can change his life around? Oh, I guess only if he is "born again" does it count! Aren't these critics the same people who supported a certain former president who admitted to a cocaine/alcohol problem? They never did anything idiotic in their 20's? Geez, give the guy a break - his record in the past 20 years certainly shows that he has redeemed himself.

    Great point, most Republican leaders are still 2 or 3 election cycles behind the times. Regarding Ayers, the first amendment guarantees his right to free speech, period.

    I don't want to see my tax dollars paying for his fee and travel expenses .... but that's just me.

    Lawmakers asking Millersville University: Why Ayers? Countys GOP delegation meeting with university, state officials.

    Article Photos Map Related Share It Don't Link Tags

    By TOM MURSE, Staff Writer

    Members of the county's Republican House delegation were meeting with top officials from Millersville University and the state's higher education system this afternoon.

    The politicians want to know why the university invited 1960s radical-turned-professor Bill Ayers to speak, and who's paying for his security. Their opposition to his appearance has been well documented.

    But university trustees have some questions for the lawmakers as well.

    "My personal opinion is, it's inappropriate for the legislators to take a position of interfering with the college program," said Julianne Dickson, a university trustee who was attending the noon meeting on campus.

    "I want to know, what is it they're suggesting that there would be some sort of review for approval by legislators for anything the college or university is doing?" asked Dickson.

    "Perhaps they'll clarify that for us. Perhaps they're just responding to this speaker, but it has implications that go far beyond that," she said.

    The county's seven GOP lawmakers say Ayers' appearance would represent "an inappropriate promotion of a man whose history includes violence against the United States of America."

    Ayers was a founder 40 years ago of the radical group Weather Underground, which was responsible for riots and the bombing of several public buildings in the late 1960s and 1970s, including the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and the New York City Police Department.

    He is now a respected university professor and a member of Chicago's intellectual establishment. Lawmakers here, however, are highly critical of his philosophies on education.

    In a Feb. 11. letter to State System of Higher Education Chancellor John Cavanaugh and Millersville University President Francine McNairy, the local Republican lawmakers wrote, in part:

    "Mr. Ayers' work on urban education has significant radical components. If that is the direction that Millersville University believes it should go, then we believe a full curriculum review is necessary."

    The lawmakers planned to grill university officials and air their concerns before Cavanaugh this afternoon.

    "I want to understand their thinking on why they picked Ayers to come, considering his history of terror, treason and insurrection," said Rep. Tom Creighton, a Republican from Rapho Township. "He has not rescinded any of that or apologized in any way.

    "The state owns Millersville, and all the funding that keeps it going besides tuition is state funding," Creighton said, "so we have a fiduciary responsibility to understand why they're doing this."

    The seven Republican lawmakers meeting with university and higher-education officials this afternoon are Reps. Scott W. Boyd, whose district covers Millersville Borough; John Bear; Creighton; Bryan Cutler; Gordon Denlinger; David Hickernell; and Katie True.

    Bear said he intends to find out who's paying for security when Ayers is scheduled to speak on March 19.

    "My concern all along was the issue of using public dollars for protection of Dr. Ayers," said Bear, a Republican from Lititz. "There's been a lot of questions about where there will be public funds used. That's the wrong thing to do, in my mind."

    Kenn Marshall, a spokesman for the State System of Higher Education, which oversees the state-owned universities including Millersville, said Cavanaugh is willing to hear their concerns.

    "He reached out to the legislators who have aired the concerns," Marshall said. "He wanted to sit down with them and he wanted to listen to them."

    Gerry Robinson, another university trustee, said he already had talked to some of the lawmakers about why Millersville invited Ayers, and why it's a good idea.

    "It's good for us to have this dialogue so students get to hear both sides of an issue," he said.

    "Chicago's intellectual establishment" is an oxymoron.

    The University of Illinois is a fine institution of learning and is well respected.

    Don't these lawmakers have anything more productive to do?? This is a politically motivated move obviously....hopefully the whole thing will backfire on them and next election better people who will get down to the really important issues will replace them. You want to hear Dr Ayers speak? Go and hear him.....if you don't want to hear him....don't go.....situation resolved....geez people, get on with life

    Well, we all know that Bill Ayers has SUPER ANARCHO HYPNO VISION, so anyone who attends his lecture will be INSTANTLY CONVERTED TO COMMIE-MUSLIM-GAY-LIBERAL-ANARCHISTS.

    Thank God the GOP is doing its best to prevent any potentially upsetting words from reaching anyone's ears.

    What would happen if (horror of horrors) someone had to hear something they disagreed with?

    Or (dare I even type it?) someone might hear something that challenges their way of thinking?

    I have to stop thinking about such a thing RIGHT NOW or I fear I should faint.

    I'm glad that these American Heroes are protecting me from Ideas.

    And not that i disagree with Scott Boyd, but he had a tough time getting elected this year. Having no opposition is a really hard battle to win.

    This is laughable - 'respected" by who - other anarchists? and

    "Chicago's intellectual establishment" is an oxymoron.

    Let the creep speak but protest his presence. May his evil past follow him the rest of his days.

    He is respected by educators for his theories on education. As others post, the University of Illinois is well respected and better known for its work than, to pull a name out at random, Millersville University. I have no idea what your educational background is, of course, and it is possible that your doctorate in whatever makes you qualified to be part of any intellectual establishment. However, I have my doubts.

    Millersville University gets a lesson in conflict resolution Expert from N. Ireland shares experiences with students, staff

    Article Photos Map Related Share It Don't Link Tags

    By MADELYN PENNINO, Staff Writer

    Tony Gallagher grew up in Northern Ireland in a time when people died because of their religious beliefs.Despite witnessing decades of political turmoil and violence, Gallagher, the education supervisor at Queen's University Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland, remains an optimist especially when it comes to the job of integrating schools there. Gallagher, an expert in conflict resolution, is visiting Millersville University to talk with students and staff about his effort to integrate Protestant and Catholic schools. In 2007, Gallagher formed the Sharing Education Program through Atlantic Philanthropies, a U.S.-based organization that seeks to bring lasting change to disadvantaged and vulnerable people around the world. Gallagher said the focus of the program is for students of all ages to reach a point of understanding at which they can talk about their differences. It's not an attempt to take away anyone's cultural or religious identity, he said. "I don't want to neutralize the space. I want students to

    recognize each other's differences and celebrate it," Gallagher said. "There is no language of the common good right now. That restricts people's ability to understand each other and build a common society." Two years ago, Gallagher received $12 million from Atlantic Philanthropies to form a federation of more than 60 schools that agreed to be integrated as part of Gallagher's project. So far, 2,500 students have been integrated, Gallagher said.The project includes educators going to primary and secondary schools to train instructors to use conflict-resolution skills and turn a negative discussion or situation into an opportunity for conversation. While conflicts have risen at some of the integrated schools, Gallagher said, teachers have learned to resolve tension through discussion. "Students are now exploring their prejudices," Gallagher said. While the schools have been integrated for just 18 months, Gallagher said there has been significant progress. He spoke of one girls' school in Northern Ireland that was particularly reluctant to integrate but has had much success.

    "They text each other and meet in center city on the weekends," Gallagher said. The reason there are so many different perceptions among Protestants and Catholics, he said, is that they intentionally keep themselves isolated. Gallagher said about 95 percent of the city's neighborhoods are segregated.

    "Communities don't talk about their differences. They are governed by a sense of fear," Gallagher said. "There is silence, so problems stay there." This is Gallagher's first trip to Millersville University. While it's a short one he arrived Saturday and will leave Wednesday he's talking to faculty members about the possibility of forming an exchange program between MU and Queen's University Belfast through which students can learn more about diversity in education. A published author, Gallagher in 2004 wrote "Education in Divided Societies," a book that's widely used among experts on conflict resolution. Dominic Scott, an MU professor who teaches fundamentals in education, said he's taken students to Northern Ireland in the past to study the peace movement there.

    Scott said he has seen an increase in the number of students of Irish decent who want to travel to Ireland. "There is a cultural and historical link that is lost here," Scott said. "I want to rekindle that connection." Jane Bray, MU's dean of the School of Education, said she believes Gallagher's work is relevant to an MU student's general curriculum. She said she looks forward to building a partnership with Gallagher and Queen's University Belfast. "It's good not only for an education students but all students to expand their global opportunities," Bray said. "When you drill that down for education students, it's a significant opportunity for them to talk about conflict resolution in preparing teachers for the classroom." Gallagher has received another $12 million to continue his work of integration for at least the next three years. His hope is that through this project methods for student integration can be established and used as models for conflict resolution in Northern Ireland. "I think it can be done," Gallagher said.

    Man allegedly stalked Millersville University professor Earlier incident led to ban from campus

    Article Map Related Share It Don't Link Tags

    By PATRICK BURNS, Staff Writer

    A former Millersville University student accused of threatening a faculty member with a knife in January was jailed again Wednesday after police say he stalked the professor. Randall S. Walsh, who was released on bail after the January incident, returned to the Millersville campus on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning to seek out the professor, according to Millersville University police. According to an affidavit, Walsh, 29, tried to flee Manor Township police when they arrived Wednesday morning at his residence on Knollwood Road in Millersville. He was arrested about 8:20 a.m. after a brief foot chase. Police said Walsh had a copy of the professor's Wednesday class schedule and had said he wanted to talk to the teacher "about God and him not believing in him." "Walsh wanted him to know he will go to Hell if he did not start believing," according to the affidavit submitted by Richard Stuchkus of the Millersville University police. Walsh was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Leo Eckert on stalking and defiant trespass charges. He was sent to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $500,000 bail. Eckert sent Walsh to prison on $50,000 monetary bail after a Jan. 7 incident in which he allegedly pulled a knife from his book bag and slammed it into the professor's desk. According to court documents, Walsh threatened the philosophy professor because he was frustrated by the teacher's failure to notice him and his writing. He was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and making terroristic threats, all misdemeanors.Walsh was released on bail Feb. 27, according to court records. He has a court appearance scheduled for May 1. Janet Kacskos, Millersville University spokeswoman, said that Walsh was banned from the campus and police gave him a no-trespass order for all university property. Kacskos said the school has posted Walsh's picture on posters around campus. Millersville e-mailed trespass alerts with Walsh's picture twice to students through the MU Alert system. She said the last campus alert was issued March 3, when police warned that Walsh might be near the school. Millersville police received a complaint Tuesday that Walsh was seen inside McComsey Hall, where he spoke to an employee about the professor. On Wednesday morning, school police received more complaints that Walsh was again in McComsey Hall, where the professor works. School police were dispatched to the area but Walsh was gone, they said. A little later, Manor Township police received calls that Walsh was near his Knollwood Road home. Walsh would have been a junior and had been enrolled for the spring 2009 semester, which began in January.

    The incident comes one year after Millersville was locked down for about two hours when a student wrote a professor saying another student was making him afraid to go to class. Joel Yodis was charged April 2, 2008, with making terroristic threats that stemmed from an argument with another student in a classroom on March 26. According to court records, Yodis, of Phoenixville, became angry when other students laughed at him. He threatened to kill them, using his hand to imitate firing a pistol at them, the affidavit said. He remains free on $50,000 bail and has pretrial conference scheduled for May 19 before Judge Jeffery D. Wright in Lancaster County Court.

    This is very different than what happened to Ayers after he slammed his explosives into the government's buildings. MU invited him in to speak! What a university!

Beginning in 1989 Advanced Media Group began a joint venture with High Industries and American Helix of Lancaster. Advanced Media Group was one of a handful of domestic companies that had capabilities to manufacture CD-ROM discs. Advanced Media Group performed service for Fortune 500 companies and several U.S. Government agencies and departments.

    For the past 4 years, Stan Caterbone has been appearing before U.S. District Courts and Commonwealth Courts as a pro se litigant pursing and reclaiming assets and damages that are the result of a Federal False Claims Act violation from the late 1980's. In 1987 Stan Caterbone was responsible for public allegations of fraud and wrongdoing and blew the whistle on Lancaster based International Signal & Control, or ISC. In 1991 ISC was indicted for selling arms and weapons through South Africa to Iraq and a $1 Billion Dollar Fraud. Stan Caterbone just won a recent decision in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals continuing his litigation.

    Stan Caterbone is also telepathic and is researching violations of mind control technology developed by U.S. agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Department of Defense Intelligence Agency(DIA).

  • There are a number of low-cost alternative/private education loans available to undergraduates and graduateswho need additional funds to cover the remaining amount on their tuition bill.

    Each lender establishes the eligibility criteria for the loan and the conditions for which the loan funds can beused. The information listed below provides a general overview.

    Please contact the lender for any additional information regarding the loan program listed.

    Reasons for Considering an Alternative/Private Loan:

    Satisfactory Academic Progress may not be a condition for the loan.

    Can apply on-line.

    Enrollment in a degree or certificate program may not be required. However, the student may have to beenrolled at an institution approved by the lender.

    Aggregate limit may be greater than Stafford Loans.

    Repayment terms may be greater than 10 years which is the current repayment term offered by Stafford andPLUS loans.

    Applying with a co-signer can reduce fees associated with these programs.

    Students can share with the responsibility of borrowing.

    School must have guarantee of loan from lender to be used as a credit towards bill.This loan is in the student's name (the borrower) and usually will require a credible co-signer (generally aparent), but can be anyone with good credit who is willing to co-sign the loan.The only payment the student is required to make is the interest - the principal is deferred until 6 months afterthe student graduates or drops below half-time (6 credits) status.Please see our statement regarding preferred lenders.

    Please be advised that if you do not indicate a loan term or indicate an invalid loan term on your loanapplication, the loan term will default to the academic year (fall/spring). It is EXTREMELYIMPORTANT to indicate correct loan term dates to ensure the correct processing of your alternativeloan.The loan term dates are used as follows:For the entire 2009-2010 academic year (Fall/Spring), use 8/31/09 - 5/08/10

    For the Fall only, use 8/31/09 - 12/19/09

    For the Spring only, use 1/19/10 - 5/08/10

    For Summer 2009, use 5/11/09 - 8/21/09, no matter what summer session you are attending.
