I swear I saw something about another school, but I could be wrong.

Penn State was not one of the nine universities who were asked to be part of the initial compact.

Are you thinking of the University of Pennsylvania instead?

They’re friends! Hayley did do a guest spot on one of the vault tracks and I think paramore even did some of the eras dates.

True Believer is one of my favorite tracks off Hayley's solo album and MY GOD.

The wordsmithing! The storytelling! The way she's unafraid to talk about today's world in ways that people shy away from!

somehow i am not surprised this is in susquehanna township. south central pa, y'all!

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'
