You will be required to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your educational and living expenses while enrolled at Rosemont College. Below is a breakdown of the cost of living expenses for which you will be expected to document financial solvency.
Rosemont offers scholarships to international students based on academic merit. You do not need to apply separately for this scholarship. Completing your application file will automatically qualify your for consideration of these awards. You will be notified of your scholarship, if you do qualify, in your acceptance letter. Otherwise, all financial costs of attendance are the responsibility of the student. Parents or sponsors are required to provide documentation of financial resources to support a student's total educational and personal expenses prior to the issuance of the I-20 for a student visa.
Rosemont College is a private, four-year liberal arts college founded in the Catholic tradition. We welcome students of all faiths and backgrounds from around the world. Rosemont's undergraduate program is characterized by strong academics and a commitment to education and achievement. Rosemont is a friendly, caring place that both challenges and supports its students. The curriculum provides a firm foundation in the liberal arts and a wide variety of opportunities for pre-professional study and experience.
Once you are accepted and have paid your tuition deposit, you will need to arrange for your entry into the United States by obtaining the appropriate visa from a U.S. embassy or consulate near you. We will send the student visa application (Form I-20) to you with instructions on obtaining your F-1 student visa after we have received official certification of finances.
When you receive your Form I-20, present this form, your passport, and original documentation of your financial resources to a U.S. consular officer to obtain your visa for entry to the United States. F-1 student status will allow you to remain in the U.S. as long as you are a properly registered full-time student.
To maintain full-time status you must take a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester. We recommend 16 credits per semester. F-1 status will allow you to work part-time in on-campus jobs at Rosemont College and work in an optional practical training job directly related to your field of study for 12 months during or after your studies.
When you arrive at a port of entry into the United States, you will be required to present your visa and Form I-20 along with your passport and financial documents to the immigration officer. The immigration officer will stamp the I-20 and return it to you. He or she will issue a completed I-94 Arrival-Departure Record. The I-94, which is an extremely important document, indicates the date when your permission to remain in the U.S. expires and must be kept in your passport. The I-20 is the permanent record of your permission to enter and remain in the U.S. and must be kept in your possession as long as you are a student.
American students receive twelve years of primary and secondary education before they are eligible to attend a university or college. As college students, undergraduates in the United States complete four years of study to earn a bachelor's degree. Earning a bachelor's degree involves studying one academic discipline in-depth (a "major") and taking courses in other disciplines ("electives").
Rosemont awards Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees. Majors are offered in the following fields: Biochemistry, Biology, Business (Accounting, Management and International Business), Chemistry, Economics, English, French, German, History, History of Art, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Spanish, and Studio Art. Interdisciplinary majors are offered in Humanities and Social Sciences. Pre-Law and Pre-Health advising and Teacher Certification are also provided.
Rosemont will consider granting advanced credit on an individual basis for students who have scored successfully on the International Baccalaureate Examinations.
If you have prior college credits or a degree from an accredited international institution or technical school and wish to find out if these credits will transfer, you will need to have each transcript evaluated by ECE (Educational Transcript Evaluations) or WES (World Education Services).
Rosemont students are interesting, exciting young men and women who bring their special talents and abilities to our campus. Our student population is both ethnically and geographically diverse and approximately 8% of our undergraduate students are from overseas. International students find our small size to be very beneficial when learning about and becoming familiar with American culture and making new friends.
Rosemont boasts a dedicated and driven faculty. Approximately 80% of our faculty members hold the highest degree in their field and our small class size (an 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio) provides an opportunity for close interaction, assuring both academic strength and quality.
Rosemont's campus is located in a beautiful, historic community 17 km west of Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is the sixth-largest city in the United States and offers a rich cultural, historic, and social environment. Rosemont College is located within a two-hour drive of such other major metropolitan areas as New York City, Washington DC and Baltimore, and is just 60 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Public transportation to nearby Philadelphia and other major cities, as well as to the Philadelphia International Airport, is within walking distance from Rosemont's campus.
All students should expect significant changes in the weather over the course of the academic year - cold winters, hot summers, and pleasant days in between. In winter, the temperature frequently drops to between 10 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 to -4 degrees Celsius).

DNG/RAW file size differences...
March 26, 2012, 12:10:09 PM »
I'm currently "experimenting" with Adobe's DNG converter 6.7 RC1 beta and this on WIN 7 64-bit platform. In there, the settings are set to their default values - as in: Compatibility: Camera RAW 6.6 later, JPEG Preview: Medium Size, Don't embed fast load data, Don't use lossy compression, Preserve Pixel Count, Don't embed Original.
As an observation, there's a noticeable size reduction from my RAW CR2 files to DNG files. Typically I seem to be "losing" around 5 Mb per file - as in a 25.25 Mb CR2 file and a 20.64 Mb DNG file of the same image. In another example, 28.45 Mb CR2 file and a 23.11 Mb DNG file for the same image.
Two questions, why this size reduction and, if any, what image data is possibly being "lost" as a result?

Because the DNG conversion is better at reducing the size using a lossless compression (nothing new in terms of DNG). Nothing is lost with the exception of maybe some proprietary metadata and your possible inability to use the DNG in other converters that dont understand DNG. IOW, it is still raw data.
And you probably want the Fast Load on, it will really help speed things up in the Develop module or in ACR when working with the data.

Hi Andrew,
Appreciate the follow up and and your comments - so, thank you for that.
I'm now beginning to appreciate some of the "subtlety" of the DNG paradigm - this for want of a better term. The last time I looked at DNG was some years back and then, I was using a Canon EOS 1D MkII - this with appreciably smaller RAW files. With a 5D MkII, these files are a lot bigger.
That said and referring to the quote above, I presume you mean applications such as Capture One not being able "read" DNG ?
I'll give the "Fast Load" feature a try. Sort of getting a little confused between this feature and the "lossy compression" feature and some of the issues that seem to be have been created and mentioned elsewhere - hence the "experimenting" part.
Thanks again and take care.

Three reasons for size difference between CR2 and DNG.
1. The DNG compression is different. Still lossless, but different and slightly more "efficient". So a small difference is due to DNG compression.
2. Embedded jpeg. Depending on your camera model, the size of the embedded jpeg in the CR2 might be full, medium, or small. And the compression of that jpeg is different than the compression by DNG. My Canon 5D2 embeds a full size, low compression jpeg in the CR2.
I tell the DNG converter to embed no jpeg. In spite of that, the DNG converter still embeds a very small jpeg, but that can account for about 10mb of file size difference. If your CR2 has a full size jpeg and you told DNG to embed a medium size jpeg, I'd bet that accounts for most of the 5mb difference your are seeing.
3. The DNG converter passes the EXIF pretty much as is. However, you can also do the DNG conversion with Photoshop. If you do that, the images pass through ACR and in passing the the default Camera Raw settings get added to EXIF. That only adds about 5k.
That last difference was a mystery I discovered in a recent debate in the Adobe forums. I and others discovered that doing the DNG conversion via Photoshop/ACR was considerably faster that the DNG converter. The reason, we learned, was that Photoshop/ACR operates in 64bit mode while the DNG converter is still a 32 bit app. The 5K size difference was a mystery within that mystery, but you can see it by looking at the EXIF in Bridge for the two different methods.

Hi Redcrown,
This is really comprehensive - just the kind of information I've been looking for.
Items 1 and 2 I can handle.
In item 3, you mention that the "default Camera RAW settings get added to the EXIF". What do you specifically mean by the "default Camera RAW settings"?
I only ask because, in the recent past, I've been adding metadata to my RAW images via the metadata tool in Bridge. While I see this metadata in the Adobe environment - Bridge, C5, LR3.x - invariably I don't see it in other applications. As I understand it, this metadata information may reside in the Bridge cache. In revamping my image archive, trying to "find" this metadata information has now become something of a hit and miss affair.
On the last item where you mention PS/ACR is 64 bit and DNG converter is 32 bit. This might be significant in terms of accessing system memory. Learnt from this forum about hitting Control O to fire this up. As an extension to all this, does 8 bit and 16 bit come into this at all? When I recently opened up a DNG image in CS5, this was an 8 bit image file. I was sort of expecting it to be a 16 bit file. Not sure if I have something wrong here?

The embedded JPEG in the DNG (a size you can control) shows the
rendering so this is quite different from a JPEG in a proprietary raw file. The idea is, as you apply edits in say LR or ACR, you have the option to update that current rendering in the DNG via the JPEG (which can be extracted). Kind of a belt and suspender approach but should the need to get to the rendering be necessary, you have a pretty high quality JPEG as a back up. Other applications could access (preview, print) that JPEG, there isnt anything in the spec that prevents this access.
As for the question about Capture 1 and DNG, youll have to ask them. There isnt anything too costly in any company supporting the use of DNG (like TIFF and JPEG, there is no fee to use).

Convert a CR2 to DNG using the standalone DNG converter. Then look at the "metadata" of that DNG in Bridge. Remember that what you see in the Bridge Metadata panel is controlled (filtered) by your Bridge Preferences. So make sure Bridge metadata preferences are set to display all "Camera RAW" fields.
Notice that the "Camera RAW" fields do not display. That's because they are empty. ACR has never touched this file.
Now open that same CR2 file in Photoshop/ACR. Don't make any changes, just do a "Save Image" from within ACR and save as a DNG. Look at the metadata of that version in Bridge and see that the "Camera Raw" fields are all present and their values are whatever your ACR defaults are.
Those 2 DNG files will be slightly different in size, due to the extra metadata.
"Metadata" is a confusing beast. It can be stored in many places, depending on the program used. It might be stored in the EXIF header of a file, it might be in a database somewhere. In the EXIF headers, different programs interpret the fields differently. Canon or Adobe may stick data in some EXIF field that other programs simply ignore and don't display.
And if you opened a DNG image in CS5 and got an 8bit file, that's probably because you have your ACR set to output 8bit. You can change that within ACR.

Whether a DNG [or a RAW] is opened with a bit depth of 8 or 16 is determined by your settings in ACR. Below the image you should see something that looks like a hyperlink. When you click on that a menu will open, by which you can set a number of workflow option.
Note that these settings are sticky: when change them, all images will be opened using these settings [untill you change them again of course.

ATLANTIC — With the Hawkeye 10 Conference title on the line, Atlantic rose to the occasion and defeated Creston here Friday night in a battle of top-five teams, 47-38.
The No. 2 Trojans clinched the outright title for the second year in a row with the win. Creston, ranked fifth, could have clinched at least a share of the title with a win.
The Trojans finish with a Hawkeye 10 record of 12-1 and improved to 19-1 overall with one game left on its regular season schedule. Creston fell to 17-3 overall and 10-2 in the Hawkeye 10.
Friday's game was every bit as physical as the first meeting between the two teams in Creston on Jan. 8, a 47-40 win for the Trojans.
But one glaring difference in Friday's contest was Creston's inability to get the ball inside. The Panthers shot just one free throw in the game.
"They played physical against us tonight, and we just didn't step up to the challenge," Creston head coach Billy Hiatt said. "We settled for outside shots. I think we shot one free throw. That is not bad officiating, it's just that we didn't attack the offensive glass. That's something we have to work on."
In the first meeting between the two teams, the Panthers pounded the ball inside early, getting close looks at the basket and getting the Trojans into foul trouble, getting to the bonus in the first quarter.
Atlantic gave the Panthers a different look on defense this time around, though; applying full-court pressure against Creston.
The Trojans also played with a high level of intensity in the halfcourt defense.
"They really pressured us out wide, a lot higher," Hiatt said. "And, we also attacked them inside at our place. We moved the ball around and hit some dumps down low, and got them in foul trouble. But tonight, we didn't attack the rim. If you don't do that, they don't have to take a chance of fouling you. We just have to attack the glass better."
Atlantic started the game on an 8-2 run over the course of the first 4:00 of the game, before Creston responded with a 9-2 run over the next 5:00 of game time.
The two teams traded blows the remainder of the half, and trailing 19-18 with less than :30 left in the half, Creston had a chance to hold for one final shot and a chance to take a lead into halftime.
But, Atlantic's Sam Markham came up with a steal and raced up the floor for a slam dunk to put Atlantic up 21-18.
Creston again had an opportunity to put points on the board before the end of the half, but Luke Neitzel was called for a charge while trying to create a shot for himself in the final seconds.
Second half
Creston got a good start to the second half as Colby Taylor, who sat much of the first half with foul trouble, got an offensive rebound and putback for his first points of the game to cut the lead to 21-20.
Briar Evans followed that up by circling through the lane and hitting a one-handed shot to give Creston a 22-21 lead.
But it was the last lead Creston would hold in the game, as Dalton Franken responded with a big 3-pointer from the corner.
For an Atlantic team that had missed several layups and didn't make a single 3-pointer in the first half, it was a big turning point.
"First half, we probably missed five layups," said Atlantic head coach Steve Blazek, a Creston native. "Second half, I thought we played with a lot more composure and got into our stuff a lot better."
Atlantic built up a seven-point lead in the third quarter before a Taylor 3-pointer cut the lead back to four at 31-27. The lead was again cut to four points when Neitzel dumped a pass off to Ryan Cook for a layup to make it 33-29.
But that was as close as Creston would get for the remainder of the game.
After cutting the lead to 42-35 with 2:26 left in the game, Atlantic's Chad Christensen hit a big 3-pointer to make it a 10-point lead and essentially put the game away.
"Chad's big three there down the stretch was nice," Blazek said. "I thought Dalton's defensive job on Taylor was outstanding, and also Sam on Neitzel. A couple of times we got beat on our pressure and let them get out in the open court, but I thought for the most part, we made them work really, really hard to get the ball inbounds and down into the offensive set."
Creston travels to Harlan for its regular season finale on Tuesday.
The good news for Creston is if the Panthers win their opening round game against Winterset, there's the potential for another crack at Atlantic in the district final.
"We kind of knew early on that we'd have to go through Atlantic to move on, probably," Hiatt said. "We've played each other twice. We know each other pretty well. It'll be down to who wants it more, really. They've got two games on us now, but you've got to play another day, so hopefully we'll see them again."
ATLANTIC (47) — Sam Markham 6 0-0 14, Dalton Franken 5 1-2 12, Chad Christensen 3 2-2 9, Harrison Hoegh 3 1-4 7, Stuart Hoegh 1 3-4 5.

The Creston boys junior varsity team improved to 16-2 for the season with a 66-28 win at Atlantic.
"Another team effort on both ends of the floor," JV coach Kritter Hayes said. "Other than a few mistakes in our defensive transition and a few stagnant offensive possessions, this was a great game for our team. We may make a few mistakes, but we correct it and move on fast."
Cole Thompson led the team with 11 points, while Cole Crawford added nine and Jay Wolfe scored eight.
CRESTON (66) — Cole Thompson 11, Cole Crawford 9, Jay Wolfe 8, Brandon Phipps 6, McClain Haines 5, Alex Nielsen 5, Christian Groumoutis 5, Evan Nielsen 4, Nick Noecker 3, Trey Benson 3, Sam Hartsock 3, Maxx Walters 2, Jake Miller 2.

The Creston freshmen team fell at Atlantic, 52-13, on Friday.
Brandon Lee led the team with eight points, while Brandon Jones scored four and Josh Reed added one point.
The Creston freshmen finish their season Tuesday at Harlan, with game time scheduled for 5:45 p.m.

What are the symptoms of colitis?
Inflammation of the colon causes the muscle layers to go into intermittent spasm and cause colicky or cramp-like pain that comes and goes. The pain usually is in the lower abdomen, but can be felt anywhere along the course of the colon. Since the muscles fail to contract in a normal pattern and the colonic contents move through the colon rapidly, there is little opportunity for water to be reabsorbed. This leads to watery diarrhea. If the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and breaks down, bleeding may occur. In ulcerative colitis, small ulcers form and are the cause of bleeding.
With colitis, particularly colitis involving the distal colon (rectum and sigmoid colon), the pain often crescendos and precedes a diarrheal bowel movement. After the bowel movement, the pain may subside but then returns with the next episode of diarrhea.
Depending upon the cause of the colitis, other organ systems in the body may be involved and produce symptoms. There may be fever, chills, malaise, fatigue, and dehydration. Symptoms of dehydration include weakness, lightheadedness, and decreased urine output.
Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease and may have associated symptoms outside of the colon. These can include joint swelling, eye inflammation (iritis), canker sores in the mouth (aphthous ulcer), and skin inflammations (pyoderma gangrenosum).

Friday, May 09, 2003CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (May 9, 2003) - Chattanooga's Melissa Ramirez hit her second multi-run home run of the day in fourth inning en route to a 8-0 Chattanooga win over East Tennessee State in game eleven of the 2003 Southern Conference Softball Championships being held at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn. The loss ends an eight-game winning streak for the Buccaneers. The Lady Mocs (36-27) took a 1-0 lead in the second when Lindsey Howard doubled in Leslie Barron. Melissa Ramirez and Jada Pescatore plated one runner each with singles in the third to make the score 3-0. Chattanooga broke open the game with a four-run fourth inning. Bryn Favor singled in Grace Pickett, and Ramirez, who extended her hitting streak to 12 games, clubbed a three-run homer to push the margin to 7-0. Pickett's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the fifth provided the final 8-0 score. UTC's Awbrey Winckler threw her fourth-straight complete-game shutout in the 8-0 victory. She raised her record to 21-14 while striking out three and has 34 2/3 consecutive shutout innings. Ramirez hit her second home run of the day in the third inning of the second game and her team-high 12th of the season. She overtook the SoCon home run lead from teammate Jennifer Reed. ETSU starter Jennifer Fraser (Chattanooga, Tenn.) (9-13) took the loss allowing six runs on eight hits with two walks and one strikeout. Tiffany McVay (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) threw one-third of an inning and Jolene Holthaus (Sidney, Ohio) pitched two-thirds. With the win, Chattanooga advances to the championship game at Frost Stadium at 12:15 on Saturday, May 10. UTC, undefeated in the tournament, must get beaten twice to be eliminated. With the loss, East Tennessee State moves to the loser's bracket to face the winner of the College of Charleston/ Georgia Southern game. Regardless, the Buccaneers' next game will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday. A win by ETSU would place the Bucs in the championship game versus the Mocs.

Can't wait to draft that LG with the 6th overall pick...
Can't wait to draft that LG with the 6th overall pick...
why what happened?
Yeah, why don't we just cheer against our team for a player that might not even work out, especially with our team.
Credit: DisturbedShifty
To the OP. you beat me to it! I was gonna say the same thing. Sparano wants us to lose out on the sweepstakes. He knows he's one after the year. I'm so pissed. Can't believe we're winning
It's week 8 try not to overreact.
Luck won't be the only Superstar QB in the next 20 years dude.
This next draft alone I see three potential Superstars in the first round at QB.
- Hall of Fame Safety Rod Woodson on Dan Marino playing in today's NFL:
"...the best quarterback I believe is Dan Marino..."
"If he played with these rules, he'd throw for 100,000 yards."
Twitter - https://twitter.com/ciscoholgate
To each his own.. while it's not in my DNA/testosterone count to root for losses there are too many legit fans who do so I'm not gonna dog them. However, on a Dolphins site, whether we win or lose this game (and we're only up by 4) , in a rare feel-good moment, especially when there are several QBs available in other years who'd go top 5, to actually start a thread whining about us playing well comes off pond-scummy.
Perhaps I spoke too soon...
Go NY baby!
waaaahhhh why the dolphins winning against a playoff team ..
**** luck take the best qb on the board jones barkley ect

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Gallery: Herzog & de Meuron's Beirut Terraces With Hanging Gardens
A master plan for the city of Beirut is guiding the rehabilitation of the coastal city, and Herzog & de Meuron just unveiled an open and airy apartment development located in the central district. Beirut Terraces, seen over at Dezeen, is a composed of a series of terraces with various sized apartments and large open outdoor living areas. The apartment complex is rich with lush vegetation at the ground floor entrance and features hanging gardens integrated throughout the building. Solar passive design, daylighting and energy efficiency also play a strong roll in the design of the apartments.
Appearing a bit like a Jenga tower, Beirut Terraces is made up of various shaped slabs overlapping each other to create overhangs and shaded terraces. The outside windows of the building are actually recessed back from the edge by 6 meters, providing lots of outdoor living space for the occupants in order to enjoy the moderate climate. The overhangs and recessed living spaces also help improve the energy efficiency of the building, protecting the living areas from direct solar gain, but working to heat the thermal mass, which releases the heat later in the day.
Despite the large overhangs, the apartments all have ample access to natural daylighting and ventilation, which aid in the energy efficiency of the building. A large garden and vegetated space serve as the entrance to the apartment building, while hanging gardens are installed throughout offering the occupants another connection with the natural world. (Coincidentally, the design for the Beirut Terraces is a bit reminiscent of Herzog & de Meuron's design for the Miami Art Museum.) Located in the central district, the apartment, which includes 129 single, duplex and townhouse apartments, is close to many other offices and attractions and also includes amenities like a spa and shopping on the ground floor level.

A beautiful building,but i think it maybe a waste of construction.I dont think patio has more value than indoor space.

[…] Terraces are created by curving back each level in an organic fashion to create patios and decks for shoppers, a cafe, and residential patios on the top levels. The organic mesh wraps the edges of each level, softening and greening the appearance of the building, which changes with the seasons. A three-story atrium in the top floors pulls natural daylight in from the roof down through the levels of apartments. Construction on the mixed-use development is expected to start in 2011 now that they have approval from the city of Ljubljana. […]
