Decline puzzles
economists
ELOOLRQ
BY ANNE DINNOCENZIO
and CHRISTOPHER S.
RUGABER
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK Early reports from stores on the holiday shopping season looked
good. But it turns out retail
sales actually fell in December,
leaving
economists
scratching their heads about
the state of the recovery.
Sales dropped 0.3 percent
from the month before, mostly because people spent less
on cars and appliances, the
government said Thursday.
For the year, they fell 6.2 per-
cent.
Economists said the monthly decline could just be a blip
and suggested looking at the
past two months together,
which would show spending
rising modestly. But with unemployment high and credit
tight, the report shows the recovery remains tentative.
I wasnt expecting this.
Its a bit of a puzzle, said
Scott Hoyt, senior director
of consumer economics at
Moodys Economy.com. Consumer spending is growing
very weakly, but the key thing
is that its growing.
Retail sales have now fallen 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

Cadbury addresses
possible Hershey bid
LONDON (AP) Cadbury
PLC said Thursday that The
Hershey Co. would have to
pay a great price if it decided to formally wade into the
bidding against Kraft Foods
Inc. for the British candy
maker.
As Cadbury made its final formal defense against
Krafts derisory hostile
$16.5 billion bid by reporting strong 2009 sales growth,
Chairman Roger Carr was
more amenable about the
prospect of a Hershey bid.
Carr said Hershey had reaffirmed its interest recently,
but has made no formal offer
and may not.
However, he said there
was more of a natural understanding 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 Cadburys independence remained
its priority, rather than a white
knight deal with Hershey.

1 APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS by STANLEY J.
CATERBONE. (cw, ) (Entered: 11/12/2009)
Intelligencer Journal
Published: Aug 22, 2008
00:57 EST
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 onesize 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.

Comment on this article
"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."
Well, all these financial shenanigans, and micromanaging students is working out nicely for F&M. 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!).

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.
www.childrensdentalhealth.com
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.
Featured Jobs
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.

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.
