A fragrance developer says it has made a perfume and a cologne inspired by Pennsylvania State University's blue and white colors and its campus vegetation. Masik Collegiate Fragrances says the perfume for the school in State College, Pa., smells of vanilla, lilac, rose and white patchouli. The cologne smells of blue cypress and cracked pepper. Masik also has captured the smell of the University of North Carolina, and plans to offer scents for six other universities next year. Obama vanity plates get attention -- from thieves GREAT NECK, N.Y. -- A Long Island Democratic supporter says he's been driven to hide his OBAMA vanity license plates inside his car because people kept trying to steal them. Great Neck resident Jonathan Lifschutz says he got the plates from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles days after the Jan. 26 South Carolina primary. The 50-year-old financial analyst says would-be thieves tried prying off the plates and he even caught one man red-handed. He jokes the Empire State plates one day will be a collector's item -- in someone else's house. So he's taken them off his car and put his old plates back on.
