While there was concern earlier this year that a limited amount of flu vaccinations would cause a higher number of flu cases in State College, Penn State students are getting the virus less frequently than they did last year.
Inhale, up. Exhale, down.

As Penn State women's indoor track coach Beth Alford-Sullivan said last week, Penn State's "No. 1 gal" is coming home. It might have happened more than two months ago, but the loss is still fresh in the minds of the No. 2 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers. After dominating Michigan-Dearborn by the tune of seven goals in November, Penn State had its 23-game win streak at home snapped after the Wolves came away with a 4-2 upset -- one day after the 9-2 romp. Swim training requires a certain faith that it will work and pay dividends. A coach can monitor strokes and turns, but must rely on the swimmers' own daily physical efforts to know that practice is effective. If this event were a football game at Penn State, Beaver Stadium would be standing room only. With less than a month and only two weekends of competition left until the Big Ten Championships, the Penn State men's swimming and diving team will look to use its time wisely this weekend in Iowa City during a double dual meet with Iowa and Missouri. Last weekend, the No. 20 Penn State wrestling team gutted out five dual meets against some of the best wrestlers the nation has to offer at the Cliff Keen National Duals. No matter how badly he slumped at times, how much his playing time dwindled and how acutely greater responsibilities burdened him last season, the passion to play football still smolders inside Terrence Phillips. About the only thing that went right for the Lady Lions last night was Amber Bland's win of the tip. Consistency. Breaking two schools records in your first meet is a nice way to announce the start of your season.

New landfill proposal in northern Centre Co. should get focus here My Opinion: Jen Winberry My Opinion: Brent Burkey Letters to the editor
In the years since the Holocaust, the phrase "never again" has often been used to suggest that the world will never again allow genocide to flourish. Many assume that it hasn't happened since, that any such undertakings have been thwarted in their early stages. These assertions are comforting. Ani DiFranco's my security blanket. I suppose she's a lot of folks' blankie. You know, you listen to her and feel comforted and warm and reassured that music can still speak to you, and you feel like you've arrived home. So maybe "ruby slippers" is a more appropriate comparison, but maybe not, 'cause those always looked too binding and glitzy, and Ani's all about the organic, sprawling, ebbing, flowing freedom of crafting and sharing music. One thing is absolutely certain about ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. Bright Eyes is everywhere lately, all pretty and waif-like in glossy mags that usually promote Lindsay Lohan. Someone oblivious to the Omaha rock scene might think this rickety-voiced, masochistic post-emo folkster is new to the CD-releasing game. He's not. It's just that most folks haven't taken notice until now. Maybe sometimes one can judge a book by its cover. In the right light, the cover of Bright Eyes' Digital Ash in a Digital Urn depicts either a delicate flower or man vomiting digital numbers into a toilet, and that speaks volumes. That group ringleader Conor Oberst felt artistically forced to release two polar opposite albums on the same day is enough of an explanation as to why some of the stuff on this, the more "difficult" album (when compared to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning), alternates between somewhat artistic and just plain wacky. But that doesn't make it great. Plain White T's has come a long way since it released its Fearless Records debut album, Stop, in 2002. The band has toured with just about every emo/pop-punk band that exists in the last few years, and now it has a solid sophomore release with All That We Needed. Café 210 West will be hosting the Three Aces Memorial Benefit Concert for musicians without life or health insurance on Saturday night at 7, honoring deceased members of Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band, most recently Robert Ellison Dorsey.
