Penn State trustees' campaign heats up

Voting for new trustees at Penn State is set to begin and a campaign is underway to persuade more alumni to vote. None of this campaigning surprises Jason Del Gandio, a Temple assistant professor of rhetoric and public policy. He said college campuses have a long history of activism and protests. He said campuses contain a key ingredient for activism: community investment. "Penn State has a long and glorious history," he said. "The Jerry Sandusky scandal is motivating people to recoup the campus ethos."

Smaller dishes, portions may help kids stay at a healthy weight: study Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/smaller-dishes-portions-kids-control-weight-study-article-1.1310790#ixzz2QAWtcMre

Shrinking the size of kids' plates and bowls might help them eat less and keep off extra weight, new research suggests. Jennifer Fisher, a researcher at Temple’s Center for Obesity Research and one of the study authors, said it was preliminary but could still inform parent choices. "For now, certainly it seems like something parents can easily incorporate into their daily lives without a lot of work and effort," she said.
