Workers with Duquesne Light and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy team up to plant a vertical garden on the side of a building at 125 Seventh Street, Downtown, Friday, July 13th, 2012. Only the second green wall Downtown, the vertical garden will grow from a five foot by forty-two foot bed at the base of the wall up the metal trellis. With hydrangeas at the base, Dutchman's pipe, American bittersweet, virgin's bower, and trumpet honeysuckle will all climb the trellis to a height of fifty feet, and should be in full bloom by June 2013.

DUNMORE — Students at Penn State University will be reaching just a little deeper into their pockets to pay for school.
The Penn State Board of Trustees has voted to increase in-state tuition by 2.9 percent at the main campus in State College and 1.9 percent at its branch campuses. That’s the lowest tuition increase in 45 years.
The tuition increase is not related to the cost of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The school has said those costs are being covered by its insurer.
In-state freshmen and sophomores attending the main campus will pay about $15,560 next year. That’s $440 more than this year. Out-of-state students will pay about $27,860 to attend the main campus, about $650 more than this year.
The board approved a $4.3 billion budget for the 2012-13 school year.
