MILLERSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - Gov. Tom Corbett got a cool reception when he addressed a university graduating class today.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A move to toughen academic achievement standards and tie them to graduation tests for public school students is facing a groundswell of criticism. Gov.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A retired Philadelphia police officer once hailed as a hero has been arrested and charged with rape.

It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer.
