Apple Must Pay $22 Million In Damages In Scratching iPod Nano Suit
Geek Out: How Badly Have You Damaged a Gadget?
Being someone who appreciates and accrues a lot of gadgets comes with some pitfalls (the main on being loss of money); not the least of which is the inevitability of the fact that one day, you will break your gadgets. We take many precautions, from buying protective cases to gingerly holding each precious piece of electronics like a baby.
Sometimes it's unavoidable, such as Apple's current ordeal of having to pay out over $22 million because of scratching iPod Nanos. It may be a little comforting knowing that ruining your cell phone or MP3 player was not your fault, but it still sucks.
Even worse? When it is your fault. I live in fear of throwing a Wiimote into my LCD screen, regardless of the precautions, or dropping my iPhone on the street and hurting it (which I did with my first-gen iPhone, and it was not pretty, and then there was the matter of soaking my old iPod in water . . .oops).
Tell me (and possibly make me feel better), what's the worst you have damaged one of your gadgets?

We're kicking the outdated, crunchy curl look to the curb. This lightweight styling lotion gives definition to stubborn curls. The creamy formula is the perfect addition to every curly-headed gal's vanity. Plus, the fresh scent is sublimely, subtle enough for everyday wear.
I have kind of curly, kind of wavy, sometimes more than others hair. Miss Jessie's made my curls defined AND boucey! I received so many compliments the first time I used the sample in my Birchbox that I bought it the next day. It lasts for more than a day which NEVER happens. Love this!5
My hair is very long, thick, and naturally wavy. This product doesn't weigh my hair down or make it stiff. It perfectly separates curls and helps them hold their natural shape longer. Smells fresh too (got several compliments that my hair smelled awesome). Would suggest this for anyone with any amount of natural wave or curl in their hair. Also helps with static.5
I'm a mom of two little ones and "styling"my hair is just not part of my schedule. I have wavy hair, that is pretty frizzy without product. I received this as a sample almost a year ago and fell in love. I purchased it immediately, and have reordered twice now. I have a long bob, and this lotion after I shower with my natural wave is amazing. My hair gets a more defined curl that looks polished and maintained (plus frizz free). The smell is strong, but I love it(it doesn't compete with any of my perfumes-because it smells like super clean laundry). Plus like anything you use a lot (ex. Shampoo) eventually you can't even smell it anymore. Long story short...I highly recommend this product!5
I am the person who had my hair put on my head to prove I cannot control everything. This is the closest I've found in a product to tame my hair. I use it after every washing, applying it to my damp hair and leaving it in--either before allowing it to dry naturally or blow dry it until it's only damp. This can also be added in between shampoos, especially on especially humid days.5
I purchased this product without trying it or receiving a sample and I absolutely love it. I have naturally wavy hair with some curls; my hair is typically very frizzy but will fall flat if I use certain products. Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls keeps my hair curly and frizz free. It smells amazing -- like fresh laundry. I will definitely re-purchase.5

Population distribution and burden of acute gastrointestinal illness in British Columbia, Canada

BMC Public Health 2006, 6:307 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-6-307Published: 19 December 2006
In developed countries, gastrointestinal illness (GI) is typically mild and self-limiting, however, it has considerable economic impact due to high morbidity.
The magnitude and distribution of acute GI in British Columbia (BC), Canada was evaluated via a cross-sectional telephone survey of 4,612 randomly selected residents, conducted from June 2002 to June 2003. Respondents were asked if they had experienced vomiting or diarrhoea in the 28 days prior to the interview.
A response rate of 44.3% was achieved. A monthly prevalence of 9.2% (95%CI 8.4 – 10.0), an incidence rate of 1.3 (95% CI 1.1–1.4) episodes of acute GI per person-year, and an average probability that an individual developed illness in the year of 71.6% (95% CI 68.0–74.8), weighted by population size were observed. The average duration of illness was 3.7 days, translating into 19.2 million days annually of acute GI in BC.
The results corroborate those from previous Canadian and international studies, highlighting the substantial burden of acute GI.

Today was a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher. I was pretty excited about them - it was one thing I really wanted to see in Ireland. We took a tour bus, and on the way there we stopped at Poulnabrone (The Portal Tomb), which is apparently a tomb even older than the pyramids.

On the way back past the same spot, I saw a man wondering if he should touch the fence to see if it was live and before he did it I made sure to tell him it was indeed a live electrical fence.

This is the first, and in my opinion, the best of the Blackadder series -
although the second installment runs a very close second. This series, in
retrospect, is often dismissed as less funny than its successors and this
may be due to its different style and sense of humour. This comparison
unfortunately causes the viewer to miss what makes this series such an
excellent piece of comedy writing and production.
The whole series centres on Edmund (Rowan Atkinson), the son of the younger of the two princes who in history were murdered in the Tower of London, allegedly by Richard III. In this take on history, where real history is dismissed as being rewritten by Henry Tudor, the princes were not murdered and Richard Duke of York grows up 'to be a strong boy'. The first episode of the series lays the foundation, explaining how Richard III dies, how Edmund's father becomes King and also the important, accidental, foretelling by three Witches (a clever alude to the witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth) to Edmund that one day he will be King. The rest of the series follows Edmund in his attempts to realise this foretelling.
Edmund's definite goal throughout the series, which forms the basis of the subsequent plotlines, gives it a direction perhaps missing in the following series, and it also gives his character more depth. Blackadder (as he names himself), in this series, is significantly different to his persona of the subsequent time-periods - being slimy, selfish and not particularly bright. There is a definite bond between the main characters, Blackadder and his sidekicks, Percy and Baldrick (excellently played by Tim McInnerny and Tony Robinson respectively) and although Blackadder treats his underlings with contempt at times, they collaborate as a team throughout in a series of 'cunning plans'. Baldrick is indeed the intelligent character of the group, the man in the know and his character has much more depth than his smelly and stupid character of later series.
Each plot in the series follows a similar pattern - Blackadder getting himself into a situation and having to get himself out of it. The humour presented is more subtle, relying more on the use of visual comedy, language and historical satire than on blind sarcasm. Many of the gags are implied and expect the viewer to work out the meaning as opposed to ramming it down their throats. Additionally, the script contains a number of lines that cleverly misuse Shakespeare for added effect, a classic example being Richard III calling for 'my horse, my horse my kingdom for a horse' in the style of someone calling for his dog. The supporting cast all play their part superbly, particularly Brian Blessed as Richard IV, the maniacal war-monger who hates his slimy son and fails to get his name right. The late, great Peter Cook also makes an appearance as Richard III in the first episode.
This series must be watched out of context with what followed. It was not written for the popular market, being first screened on BBC2. Watch it, laugh, then watch it again to catch some of the gags you missed the first time. Comedy written this well is unfortunately extremely rare, and to dismiss it without appreciating its aims does not do it justice. This series not only shows Rowan Atkinson at his very best, but also the writing of Richard Curtis (and Atkinson) and it is an overlooked classic of British comedy.

A 25-year-old pilot has been arrested by the Delhi Police Crime Branch for allegedly procuring his pilot licence using forged documents.
Acting on a tip-off, a Crime Branch team arrested Dipak Daulat Asatkar, a resident of Andheri (West) in Mumbai, on Friday. He was wanted in connection with a case of obtaining Airlines Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) on forged documents. He was absconding for the past six months.
Dipak earned his Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) from the United States in 2008 after completing 250 hours of flying at the Orlando Flying School. He then returned to India and applied for conversion of his commercial licence to Indian CPL in 2009. But he could not get the licence for more than two months. Meanwhile, Dipak came in contact with Captain Pradeep Tyagi through one of his contacts and the latter helped him procure the licence through his contacts in the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The Crime Branch team has so far smashed four modules and arrested 13 pilots, three DGCA officials and five middlemen. Four pilots — Bhupinder Singh, Captain Ali, Ravish Bhadana and Manoj Dhaka — are still absconding.

Ode to the kitchen pros
I would like to call out thanks to the long-contributing pros who lend their expertise here, with little direct return for their efforts. I know that many of us are grateful to them for making GW a better place.
I am going to go out on a limb and name names (in no particular order). However, I am deathly afraid of missing someone. If I miss you, please take no offense at my poor memory. And other non-pros, please chime in and correct my deficiencies!
So, then, I give many thanks for their consistent helpfulness to:
(Pal and plllog, I am not counting you in that list, because I believe you are pros in related fields; I apologize if I am wrong, and I appreciate your efforts greatly, too.)
Thank you! A_D
I don't know who is/isn't "pros" on here, HOWEVER, in my eye, you ALL are pros when it comes to helping my desperate situation!
But, to name a FEW who have gone BEYOND their call of duty, I have to recognize some who have kept me from the brink of disaster, shook me up to see the light, and coddled me when life has taken the front seat and the reno was unimportant.
Our family just went through another "life-changing event" this past Christmas, same day as losing our loved one the last Christmas, however, this one has turned into a blessing, and I haven't written about it here, just because, well, it's the Kitchen forum. But, I'll say it now since I know some will be curious, my middle daughter, who lives in Grand Rapids, (me in TX)had TWINS prematurely and I have been up there for a great deal of time since Christmas Day.
So, back to topic, and back to the reno, DH is becoming more and more impatient with my lack of ability to "commit", since we are DIYer's, he's ready to go, and I'm still on the fence with the dang layout. "Don't want to make a mistake, sindrome"
But to name names of THANKS and Gratitude, my heart goes out-------
Plllog-she can make you scream
Did I mention Rhome?
And, ALL of you others who have BEAUTIFUL kitchens that have given inspiration more than you could ever know, (you should see my *favorites* tab, it has about 150 little green clovers of kitchen love.
Mtnrdredux, breezygirl, beekeeperswife, alabamamaommy, nutherokie, rhome, plllog, FRENCH GRAY ISLAND (oh I can't tell you how drool comes from that one) beaglesdoitbetter, and her name escapes me, but the one who just finished building a house, with the barn door over her baking area, a beautiful walnut top island, fridge drawers by her banquet) OH I CAN'T think of her name! And on and on and on I could go, but I got carried away. ***sorry***
Yes!!!!! to all of those already named, I would also like to name somebody who is not a pro (I don't believe), but should operate some sort of "find an image" service....boxerpups...
I am convinced that there is no request that can stump her. I am pretty sure that if somebody said that they wanted a pirate themed kitchen in a Victorian Era house using all reclaimed materials, she would have a variety of images that would fit the bill
All of your time, knowledge, and guidance is so much appreciated by the amateurs who stumbled upon gardenweb via a google search and stayed for the duration of their remodels.
THANKS! I'll raise a glass in your honor tonight.
Yesssss... thanks to the PRO's and the PRO's that we have forgotten about...and those who have inspired me...(yes, I brought my kitchen faucet based on what Breezy had bought!!! and I chose some paint based on something Rhome liked...I admit it, sometimes I am bad with Color!!!!!) Some contributors just seem to be so informed with their posts...... AND I've used some of Trailrunner's recipes when she posts those yummy dishes she is working on.... and Thanks to Dianalo who reminded me that family comes before the kitchen Reno...Planning a few trips this summer.
dilly_ny, you are so kind! I'm not a pro, not even close, but thank you for the vote of confidence. I think I have a good grasp of spatial design. I've always had a knack for making things fit a space (I'm the designated packer of boxes, cars, trailers, DWs and such in our house, not that I'd ever design a kitchen like I would pack a trailer, lol). But don't ever ask me for help picking colors, materials and such. Pity the sorry soul who seeks my advice on those matters. I am in awe of all those here, too many to possibly name (although some have already been acknowledged) with that skill.
I also appreciate the pros - and by that I mean the people who do or did kitchen design for a living - who share their time and experience here. I've learned so much from them as well as from the many talented and generous laypeople who give of their time. To name three, rhome (she's my mentor and friend, thanks to GW), bmore (love her creative "out of the box" but practical take on a space) and buehl (I bet she could recite the technical details of a kitchen in her sleep). There are others who've helped me along the way but I'm having a bad brain day and their names are beyond my mental grasp at the moment.
Many thanks to boxerpups and her incredible talent for finding images that have helped so many, no matter the challenge (lol, kellienoelle!).
And let's not forget a big round of applause to all the GWers who have shared their completed (or nearly completed) kitchens with us. I find inspiration in every single one of them!
(Congrats on your new grandbabies, susied3!)
A great big thank you to all the "pros" listed and not listed and for tolerating my confusing questions...
Also many thanks to boxer pups for always finding the "right" image. I just sent one of the images to a cabinet dealer to describe a stained/painted cabinet combination. I couldn't have found the right photo w/o you. Every time I do a search for a photo you've posted it !
and ebean & marthavilla for helping me with soapstone questions and suppliers.
I need to take notes as I read threads so I can thank others....
I greatly appreciate the constant help of the many non-pros listed by others. I am continuing my goal of thanking the pros who help out here.
In addition to LWO, hollysprings, GreenDesigns, and brickeyee (Sorry, just had to acknowledge them one more time!!), overnight I thought of three more professionals to mention. I thank Powertoolpatriot and Kompy for their contributions. Also, I realized that I usually think of Casey (sombreuil_mongrel) as "just" an extreme DIYer, but I believe he is a professional carpenter in addition to a fine craftsman and helpful contributor.
Thanks again.
Great thread! I'll add my thanks to all here (pros and non-pros) who have helped me with questions, have given their opinions, offered valuable advice and support when things go wrong. GW has really been an invaluable resource and I wish I had found it much earlier in my reno.
Thanks, Angie, for remembering me. I haven't posted much on here the last year or so. Even though the economy is down, seems like I am quoting more than before...just people are taking longer to proceed. I have been coming here for, gosh, 15-20 years...everyday at lunch time. I love this site and for the homeowner and pro feedback it gives me.

It could be a wheel bearing (it would make noise mostly/ or would change when load is put on that wheel say for instance driving on a twisty mountain road), it could be transmission related (check the oil level). Also check the power steering oil level and the fan belts. It could be many things, unfortunately and without hearing the noise first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests or be able to drive the car, its hard to say what the source of the noise may be.

I am a student from DC.
Elena has completed online and offline ID verification.

Elena was a charming and unobtrusive host. Her apartment was very clean, comfortable and metro-friendly. Her dogs were also clean, very cute and well-behaved to boot! I never actually used the gym, but it was just down the hall and appeared to be much better than a standard hotel gym. Highly recommended!
Elena was an especially thoughtful & accommodating host. She offered coffee in the morning, stocked the fridge with some snacks, and shared a nice book about the city's sites. Her modern apartment is quite spacious in a brand new, upscale apartment complex. We were greeted by 2 friendly dogs and were able to make use of the complex's great amenities (the gym is terrific!). The Metro station a block away also made moving around the city a cinch.
Elena was a great guest. She was super respectful, clean and considerate. Would definitely be happy to have her back anytime.
Elena and her folks were great guests.They were very respectful of the house rules. The apartment was very tidy. I really appreciated that they put the towels in the laundry and had the dishwasher ready to go. Everything was in tip top shape! Elena is an excellent communicator. She previewed the apartment well in advance of her folks arrival and made sure that they would be comfortable. I look forward to hosting Elena and her folks in the future!
Excellent and easy to work with!!
Elena and her friend were very clean and respectful of my home. Everything was in order upon her departure. I would definitely welcome them back in the future.

With your background, Java certification probably won't make that much difference one way or another. You would, however, find the Sun Certified Java Programmer credential pretty easy, so you may want to take that one and re-evaluate your thinking with one exam under your belt. Again, given your current credentials I don't see it making that much difference to your employment chances. If not a single Java certification, why not consider pursuing a more advanced Sun or Oracle certification instead (the Oracle Java Developer cert is supposed to be pretty hot, and is said to offer a good chance of a low six-figure income).

Paint a garlic jar ???
carole6January 8, 2010
I think its terra cotta pottery. Looks dingy. Can it be painted/cleaned ? What type of paint ? Thanks !
if it's been sealed or not should be easily painted with water based acrylic paints, the craft store variety would work. I think you can also spray over whatever design you use, with a spray sealer. But I dont think it's completely necessary.
I have cleaned regular clay pots with water and a stiff kitchen brush. Even yucky ones brought in from outside with green aged stuff and dirt on them, they clean up fine.

In Which the Kids Experiment with Vegetable Lasagna and I Enjoy Happy Hour
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
Meal delivery services seem to be popping up right and left, at least according to the ads on my Facebook page. (Probably because I looked one of them up one time four months ago.) And they aren't really meal delivery services, more like meal component providers. With three sons and two adults, leftovers don't sit around long in our house, but I've wondered if services like Plated might be better for people who were cooking for two instead of five. And would the food be good and easy enough to make?
Recently, a friend who subscribes to Plated called and offered her vegetarian lasagna kit. She wasn't going to have time to make it and she knows our children are perpetually hungry and will eat anything. So I handed it over...to the kids. Here's how it went.
A Grown-Up Baby Shower
Gatherings from The Kitchn
This spring my friends and I spent a sunny afternoon toasting our friend Beth and her baby boy on the way. We skipped the usual baby bottles and blue food, and instead focused on the party details we knew Beth would appreciate: a fresh, sophisticated salad bar spread, sunny and colorful decor, and a fun, simple craft table where guests personalized burp cloths for her to take home.
Here's a full look at the party, from the set-up to the beautiful bundt cake finale, including all the resources we used to make this shower happen. Planning a baby or bridal shower this year? Here's some inspiration for making it feel extra special.
My Kitchen Was Designed for Someone Else: What I Would Change, and What I Wouldn't
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
My husband and I know our limits. We have bought two houses together, and they were both move-in ready, because we are afraid of remodeling and what it might do to our relationship. We've lived here for nine years, and this house will probably be our last stop before the nursing home. The kitchen is enormous, but it wasn't designed for a cook. One of these days, I'll get brave enough to do something about it.
A Grown-Up Baby Shower: The Party Plan
Gatherings from The Kitchn
A few years ago, I hit an age where spring and early summer became shower season, a time to celebrate moms-to-be and excited brides with food, friends, and maybe a few games. I never thought I was a Shower Person — I will flunk your quiz on celebrity couples, I despise the color pink — until my own bridal shower, which was beautiful, not at all cheesy, and most of all fun. So I was excited to plan a baby shower for my friend Beth for our Gatherings from The Kitchn series, a grown-up party full of colorful details, a fresh, sophisticated salad bar, and nary a baby rattle in sight. Want to see how I did it?
How a Tea Towel Reminded Me to Sit on the Porch and Eat Strawberries
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
Spring is a busy time for me, the storm before the calm and heavy heat of summer. Just as the most colorful produce appears in the market, I'm so busy I sometimes forget to taste it. Last week, I met an artist, and her work reminded me to slow down and eat the strawberries, on the porch after lunch, with a bottle of cold water from the fridge.
How Facebook Got Me Out of a Food Rut
Kitchn Diary: Anne in South Carolina
I wasn't feeling inspired this week. It's been a busy week, so our meals have been a combination of leftovers and quick and dirty favorites. So I did what I often do when I need inspiration in the kitchen: I went to Facebook. There were plenty of intriguing responses to my query, and I decided to make something I've never liked. Because I'm a grown-up now, and far too old to be picky about food.

Stock Up on Freezer Meals Week 5: The Best Reader Advice for Filling the Freezer Before Baby Arrives
Spring Projects from The Kitchn
Over the past month I've been sharing the planning process behind my big spring project: stocking my freezer with healthy meals before the arrival of my first baby in early June. Checking in every week has been hugely motivating, but the even bigger benefit of letting The Kitchn readers in on the process has been the wealth of helpful advice you've given me in the comments. Here are the 7 best reader tips for filling your freezer before the arrival of a new baby.
My Love for Local Food Is a Reasonable Defense for Not Planning Meals Ahead
Kitchn Diary: Anne in South Carolina
I know what they say: Feeding a family means planning ahead, especially if the adults involved work outside the home. But I've never been a planner, and the lure of my local market often decides what will be on the table just hours later. One time? It was a bushel of oysters. Last week? Some beautiful little scallops and locally milled grits. With two big baskets of strawberries as an appetizer.
Spring is in the air and there's something exciting about all the produce! And there are times when that bounty leads to an impromptu supper party.

Defense comes to Raiders' rescue
While the Raiders' offense struggled to find its rhythm Friday night in Somerset, the defense came up with the big stops at the right time to preserve a 7-6 victory over the Spartans.
After over three quarters of scoreless play, quarterback Davy Branson put the Raiders on the scoreboard with a 14-yard touchdown run with 11:10 remaining in the game. Kicker Jake Denison's extra point kick provided what would turn out to be the team's margin of victory.

Everyone comes to Utah to ski in the winter, but the summers and fall are amazing!! Especially late summer when the snow has finally melted and you can get up to the ridgetops and see the wonderful scenery. Catherines Pass lies between Alta and Brighton and I've done it for years. Now, my daughter Emily joins the tradition...her first pass to 10,500'

Matrix metalloproteinases – an overview
Authors Bhupinder Singh Sekhon
Published Date September 2010 Volume 2010:1 Pages 1—20

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, matrixins) are a family of secreted and membrane-bound zinc-dependent endopeptidases that have the combined capacity to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. These enzymes have a common zinc-binding motif (HEXXHXXGXXH) in their active site and a conserved methionine turn following the active site. MMP enzymes are strongly involved in a kaleidoscope of normal, pathological, physiological, and biological processes such as embryogenesis, normal tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis, and in diseases such as atheroma, arthritis, cancer, and tissue ulceration. MMPs play a significant role in vascular remodeling. Broad-spectrum metalloproteinase inhibitors as potential therapeutics have been developed to explore the involvement of MMPs in various diseases.
Keywords: inflammation, wound healing, tissue remodeling, matrix metalloproteinases inhibitors, disease

The journal welcomes current and topical submissions across the biological and social sciences − especially interdisciplinary submissions − that advance pragmatic conservation goals as well as scientific understanding.
Conservation Letters presents cutting-edge advances in the science and practice of conserving biological diversity and promoting human well-being. The journal promotes high-impact, problem-focused studies on globally important, policy-relevant topics that provide conservation practitioners, policy-makers and researchers insights and techniques for better ensuring the persistence of biodiversity. The journal is committed to providing authors a rapid assessment and publication process.
Reviews provide synthetic overviews of emerging subjects that merit urgent attention or succinct syntheses of important topics that are rarely encountered in mainstream literature. Themes should be of global importance, and present findings and conclusions relevant to policy-makers and practitioners in the fields of conservation and human well-being.
Letters detail novel findings of cutting-edge research covering topics of global importance with high relevance for conservation practice and/or policy. The relevance of these studies for decision-making and/or the implementation of conservation initiatives should be clearly identified. Inter- and transdisciplinary studies are particularly sought.
Policy Perspectives are essays for a general audience covering a diversity of topics important to decision-making, planning and implementation of activities related to conservation and human well-being.
Correspondence articles provide readers an opportunity to raise substantive concerns regarding articles previously published in the journal. Correspondence articles should be submitted within six months of the final (Early View) publication of the article receiving comment.
Viewpoint articles are typically invited by the Editor-in-Chief, and offer personal perspectives and insights into topical or emerging issues of broad interest that are potentially important for advancing thinking around and/or improving the effectiveness of policy, practice and research relevant to conservation and human well-being.
Conservation Letters welcomes manuscripts in all biomes (marine, terrestrial, and freshwater), ecosystems, and cultural settings, and will strive for balanced coverage of each. Send us your manuscript!

Crime figures continue to decline on State Patty's Day

For the second consecutive year, actions by Penn State and the Borough of State College led to significant declines in arrests, citations and emergency department visits on the drinking holiday known as State Patty's Day.
From Feb. 28 to March 2, police logged 102 arrests and citations – a 58 percent drop from 244 arrests/citations in 2013 – according to preliminary data from the State College Police Department, University Police, Centre County Alcohol Task Force and the borough's Ordinance Enforcement Office. Fourteen of those arrests were for driving under the influence; 14 were reported in 2013 as well. State College and University police reported a total of 135 crime and ordinance violation reports, a 47 percent decrease from the 254 reports received in 2013. Staff at Mount Nittany Medical Center treated 33 alcohol-related cases over the weekend, a 28 percent decline from 46 in 2013.
Combined with the improvements from 2013, arrests and citations declined by 76 percent over the last two State Patty's Day weekends and the number of reported crimes and ordinance violations declined by 56 percent.
"The campus and the town have been vexed by State Patty's Day since its inception, but we've found a formula that has whittled it away to the point that it is no longer the problem it once was," said Vice President for Student Affairs Damon Sims. "It's time for the vast good resources in our community to be pooled for the purpose of supplanting State Patty's Day with a festival that all of us, permanent residents and students alike, can enjoy without the fear, embarrassment or harm a drinking holiday creates."
"Due to the success that we have seen over the past two years, I am pleased that we can move now to replace this with a winter weekend festival that will appeal to students and other members of the community as well as providing an economic boost to all sectors of the local economy," said Borough Manager Tom Fountaine. "The success represents what we can do in this community when we all work together with a common purpose."
As in years past, the State Patty's Day Task Force launched multiple initiatives to combat the holiday, which was launched by students in 2007 through social media. Chief among the town-gown collaboration's strategies was the creation of a nearly alcohol-free zone in downtown State College on March 1. On that day, 34 out of 35 downtown establishments agreed to forgo the serving and selling of alcohol in exchange for a stipend; five area beer distributors also accepted stipends. Also on March 1, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board agreed to close its Wine and Spirit Stores in the Centre Region.
The Council of LionHearts mobilized 540 students to volunteer more than 1,000 hours with 31 agencies in the community. Projects included picking up trash downtown, painting walls in a State College School District's Fairmount Avenue Building and cleaning Schlow Centre Region Library.
"State Day of Service afforded more than 500 students the opportunity to serve directly with community organizations," said Julie LeBlanc, who oversees service initiatives within the Office of Student Activities. "Although the bitter winter cold led to the canceling of some of the outdoor service projects, we are delighted that so many students braved the weather to make a positive impact in the local community."
Also this year, the Penn State Interfraternity Council banned social functions over the weekend, and the Panhellenic Council adopted a no-guest policy for sorority floors at residence halls. Also, representatives from the Off-Campus Student Union visited with fellow students living in the community, urging responsible choices over the party weekend.
