PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik will need up to six weeks of rehabiliation after surgery to repair a sports hernia.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Kelley Paterno, daughter-in-law to the Nittany Lions' Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, was among 50 women who took part in Penn State's first women-only football clinic yesterday. Some schools, including Clemson and Mississippi, offer similar clinics to give women a taste of the male-dominated sport.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State coach Joe Paterno says he's fine now after illness forced him to miss a few appearances. The 83-year-old canceled at least three appearances outside of State College over the last month, including a trip to the Big Ten meetings in May, because of a lingering intestinal bug.
