RE: Obtaining an officially-issued Penn State license plate in North Carolina

Dear North Carolina Nittany Lions,

Would you like to see a Pennsylvania State University license plate in the state of North Carolina? It can be done! And when we do it, we’ll be the first university from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to have a state-issued N.C. license plate.

There are more than 7,500 Nittany Lion Alumni statewide in North Carolina. We only need a minimum of 300 paid applications for the state to establish the PSU license plate. Fans and family can purchase the plate as well as alumni!

You already pay $28 to $33 per year for your N.C. license plate registration. Why not show your Penn State pride by paying just $25 extra a year! The extra cost of the PSU specialty license plate is distributed to the National Heritage Trust Fund and the Special Registration Plate Fund (part of the Highway Fund, which among other things, beautifies our highways) so you’re also helping the environment and the local economy! More information on costs and fees can be found in the accompanying Frequently Asked Questions sheet. These charges are established by legislative action in the state of North Carolina and, like all laws, are subject to change.

Feeling creative? You may also personalize your Penn State license plate for an additional $30 per year in addition to the standard registration fee and the collegiate license fee.

The Triangle Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association has volunteered to help coordinate the Penn State University efforts to establish the specialized PSU plate. If needed, applications will be accepted until Dec. 31, 2008, although we want to submit 300 applications and payments to the NCDMV as soon as possible. The faster we reach 300 paid applicants, the faster the plates hit the road.

If you want to help establish the groundbreaking Penn State University license plate, please complete the accompanying application which can be found online at < http://www.trianglepsu.org/license/app.pdf > You may mail your check and completed application form to :

Triangle Penn State Chapter
P.O. Box 1215
Morrisville, NC 27560-1215

All applications will be collected and the monies held in a special Penn State license plate account by the Triangle Penn State Chapter. Please include your email address and phone number along with your application so that we can contact you if necessary. An email will be sent to you to confirm that your form and money have been received. Email will also be used for follow up communication if necessary.

If your information changes before we submit the forms and money to the NC DMV, please send an email to license@tripsu.org with your new information and it will be changed on your form(s). Also, if you move out of state before the application is processed by the DMV, simply request a refund of your Penn State license plate fee and we will refund your payment minus a $5 processing fee.

We would like you to keep in mind the accompanying artwork is proposed until verified as official by the NC DMV. However, the artwork as shown conforms to guidelines the NC DMV has given to us, and to the guidelines the university has for use of their logo so we anticipate little if any changes to the artwork shown on the website. The proposed artwork is at the top of this page. We have included the original Authorization letter from the Penn State licensing department sent to the NC DMV.

We hope you will support Penn State and support this license plate endeavor and make Penn State University the first university from the state of PA to establish a collegiate license plate in North Carolina.

For the glory,

Allergic response tied to lipid molecules in cell membrane

Allergic response tied to lipid molecules in cell membrane

A team of Penn State researchers is the first to demonstrate that lipid molecules in cell membranes participate in mammals' reactions to allergens in a living cell. The finding will help scientists better understand how allergy symptoms are triggered and could contribute to the creation of improved drugs to treat them. The work will be reported in the March 14 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The team studied clusters of cholesterol-rich lipid molecules that they believe serve as platforms for the receptors that receive antibodies, the proteins that protect the body from allergens. In this case, the team examined IgE antibodies, which upon binding to their receptors initiate a cell's release of histamine -- the substance that causes the unpleasant, but beneficial, mucous production, congestion and itchiness associated with allergies.

Penn State Libraries acquire Ernest Hemingway correspondence

Penn State Libraries acquire Ernest Hemingway correspondence

Penn State's University Libraries have acquired an important collection of Ernest Hemingway correspondence, the last sizeable and significant known collection of the famed novelist's letters still in private hands. Amassed by his sister Madelaine "Sunny" Hemingway Mainland and passed on to her son, Ernest Hemingway Mainland, the set includes more than 100 unpublished letters, telegrams, and notes from Hemingway to his family between 1917 and 1957. The correspondence contains fresh accounts of experiences that he later transformed into fiction, and provides new insights into the course of his relationships with his parents, siblings, wives, and sons.

PENN STATE DEBUTS ONLINE VIDEO SERIES '1ST THIRTY' ABOUT REALITIES OF STUDENT LIFE

Penn State has released its first online video series. It's the true story of four strangers, picked to live together by chance, who have their first 30 days of college life videotaped to find out what happens when people leave high school and become Penn Staters. Known as "1st Thirty," the production is not MTV's creative version of reality, but it is believed to be an innovative way for admissions officers to show, in streaming video, what it's really like to attend one of the largest and most popular universities in the United States.
