[ Updated Saturday, Jan. 20, 2007 ]

Even the largest Bryce Jordan Center crowd of the season was not enough to help Penn State as Michigan State stormed into Happy Valley Saturday afternoon and dominated the host Nittany Lions in every aspect of the game.

More than 500 family members and friends gathered in the State Theater at 1 p.m. today for the funeral service to honor and remember the life of Robert Zimmerman.


[ Updated Friday, Jan. 19, 2007 ]

James Broadhurst was elected chairman of the Penn State University Board of Trustees at today's meeting.


[ Friday, Jan. 19, 2007 ]

An attempted abduction of a 14-year-old girl at a Bensalem mall Dec. 31 may be connected to another failed abduction of a 19-year-old woman that occurred at the Nittany Mall Dec. 11, police said.

Planning on trading in that bag of potato chips for a sack of oranges and a salad this year? Sounds good if the plan is a new diet for 2007, but the recent freezing temperatures in California may put a halt to many students' new year's resolutions.

Sticking her tongue out in deep concentration, she colors flowers in a coloring book. Suddenly, she jumps up from her seat and shuffles to the refrigerator to snatch a piece of bacon -- her latest favorite food. Plopping back in the chair, she brushes a few strands of chestnut brown hair from her face. With her playfulness, energy and full head of hair, she's like any 5-year-old girl.

The man accused of stabbing a Penn State senior to death in June told police three weeks after the murder that his friend, the victim, dealt marijuana by the pounds, police said.

Although Penn State students are paying the highest in-state tuition in the country for a public university, a bill recently passed through the House could help many of those students spend a little less money.

The Penn State Board of Trustees will meet today to elect a new chair person and discuss a proposal for the School of International Affairs.

Penn State President Graham Spanier kicked off the groundbreaking yesterday for Dickinson School of Law's new University Park building -- a $60 million project.

News in brief


SPORTS

A week after opening its season with a strong performance at the Penn State Relays, the men's track and field team will look to continue to push its athletes against a variety of competition at the Penn State Open.

The women's track and field team hopes to build upon last week's record-setting performance when it hosts the Penn State Open this Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.

The Penn State men's gymnastics team will have two firsts this Sunday at 2 p.m., when it travels to Philadelphia to take on host No. 12 Temple, No. 13 William & Mary and James Madison.

After falling to Arkansas last week, the Penn State women's gymnastics team is looking for more than a win.

After more than a two-week absence, the Penn State swimming and diving teams will be back in action this weekend, scheduled to compete in two matchups.

When a team goes on a two-month winning streak like the ACHA Div. II Penn State Ice Lions, the only thing harder than accepting the loss is trying to move on.

First held during the early 1970s, the Penn State men's volleyball annual alumni match has been a staple since its inception.

The Penn State men's basketball team knows all too well what Michigan State guard Drew Neitzel can do with the ball in his hands at the end of a game.

Scouting for the upcoming game against Minnesota, it may seem as if the Penn State women's basketball team is looking in the mirror.

Beginning this weekend, the No. 10 Penn State wrestling team (9-2) will plunge headfirst into its Big Ten dual meet schedule.

It's been more than a month since the No. 2 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers (20-4-0, 18-2-0 ACHA) skated for their home crowd. Tonight, for the first time since beating Niagara Dec. 15, they return to competition at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion to play Pittsburgh (5-11-1).

ARTS

The saxophone -- an instrument that has often been ignored and shunned by great composers such as Brahms.

When I first selected Jane Green's Swapping Lives from the library, I was a little skeptical about its content. After all, the title Swapping Lives does not leave much to the imagination.

A Wonder bra saves the life of the heroine in the first chapter of Slow Burn by Julie Garwood. The rest of the romantic thriller follows in the same fun, light-hearted vein.

Ten years ago, of Montreal released Cherry Peel, a simple and safe but wholly pleasurable pop record. Seven albums (and countless singles, compilations and EPs) later, and all that remains of what was once an innocent, unpolished indie band is the enjoyable quality of its music.

To be alive and witness a defining moment in history has a sort of intriguing aura to it. There are a few events that shocked us all, and one was the untimely death of Lady Diana Spencer, known to all as Princess Diana.
