Penn State officials Gary Schultz and Tim Curley were charged with perjury and failure to report child abuse in early November. To support the perjury charges, prosecutors must show probable cause the two men lied and that the lies were intentional and material to the case. "Even though you've had some fairly celebrated folks convicted of perjury, it's a very tough charge to prove,'' said Edward Ohlbaum of Temple's Beasley School of Law. "You have to have a clear question, an unequivocal answer, and (prove) the defendant knew what he was saying was false.''

Almost two years after Comcast launched Xfinity to shed its image as a stodgy cable company, the brand will get a big boost in Philadelphia with the Xfinity Live! complex at the former Spectrum site. But experts are not convinced that the rebranding was necessary or explained well. "It appeared on the heels of FiOS and felt to me like Comcast decided they had to do something, too," said Craig Atwater, a marketing professor in Temple's Fox School of Business. "But Xfinity, unlike FiOS, doesn't stand for anything, nor has Comcast tried to explain what it does mean for consumers. For now, it's just a label."

A proposal for a new 38-acre park in Cape May was unveiled on Wednesday. The plans, which include a wetlands garden, green roofs, aqueducts funneling reusable rainwater, a wind turbine and nature trails, were presented by Temple landscape architecture student Julia Dougherty, who helped design the park. The park was designed for use by students of Cape May Elementary School, which is part of the park property. “There’s a lot of walking and bicycle paths and dog walking areas. The design encourages environmental education,” she said.
