Rory Nugent's "Down at the Docks" is part history lesson, part portrayal of a dying city. But with a dose of drollness and a dazzling eye for detail, Nugent creates a beautiful -- and incredibly genuine -- ode to New Bedford, Mass.
On Wednesday night, the crowd at the Flogging Molly concert was wearing more green than the sidewalks after State Patty's Day.
Surely, every student has fond memories of his or her first year at college -- trying to meet new people, fit in new surroundings and experience new things.
Allow me to break down the fourth wall a bit. The first column I wrote this semester was a response to an episode of the public radio program, "This American Life." This episode was titled "#1 Party School" and exposed State College's drinking culture/problem to the world. And in my response, I agreed wholeheartedly with their unabashed look at our destructive lifestyle.
In response to the March 3 letter, "Playboy modeling devalues women's bodies, marriage," apparently I missed the part in the Bible where it said that Adam and Eve were created and then immediately covered from head to toe with clothing. Because if anyone else were to see one of them naked, that would just ruin the whole world plan.
I didn't go out to the bars for State Patty's Day and had no desire to do so. I'm also not into big parties -- a few good friends to socialize with is all I need. That said, how is drinking at the university any different than it has ever been? People say they're ashamed. Ashamed of what? Events like State Patty's Day have gone in and out of existence at this university and in this town for years. And what one person says is foolish behavior might be a big part of the memories and good times at this university for another.
I am very proud to have been a student when the first State Patty Day's came about. It was so exciting to be a part of a new Penn State tradition and to stand up for what I believe in. The event will always be more special to me than Saint Patrick's Day.
State Patty's Day 2010: 365 police calls, 160 arrests, 37 disorderly parties, 24 alcohol overdoses, 10 DUIs, snowball fights, sending a bus driver to the emergency room and projectile vomiting. Let's cut the BS: If you don't think State Patty's Day is a legitimate problem, you're living in a fantasy.
Spring break is so close, I bet your senses are tingling.
The woman who retracted her rape story has done a severe disservice to herself, rape victims and the community.
In response to the March 2 article about the student who modeled for Playboy, it seemed that she was asked to do something that most parents probably raised their children never to do -- disrobe in front of a camera.
In response to the March 2 column, "Players believe in coach, so should everyone else," consider this the realist's take on the so-called "rebirth" of Ed DeChellis and his 3-13 Nittany Lions. "Three out of four games including Sunday's 79-60 beat down" sounds nice, but when two of the three wins come against the same team, can one really consider it "turning things around?" It's easy to say that the players believe in DeChellis after a near-20 point win, but where was this faith and belief while leads were being blown against Iowa and Michigan?
A passionate Penn State football fan, Brianna Lang was disappointed when she had to miss the home game against Purdue in 2007. But to her, the opportunity to tailgate in the nude wasn't such a bad consolation prize.
Katie Knobloch was ready to proclaim her message to all of campus.
For Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon family relations captains, it's hard to stand out.
If you know Penn State sports, you know Dean DeVore. If you've been to a Penn State football game since 2000, you know him. If you've been to a women's volleyball game or a men's volleyball game or a wrestling match or a men's gymnastics meet or a men's lacrosse game -- you know him.
It's early in the morning, and a small herd of goats is following Mike Negra. The executive director of the State Theatre and self-proclaimed "up-and-coming goat farmer" is wearing a denim shirt, a thick pair of jeans and a hunting cap straight out of "The Catcher in the Rye," and he's carrying a bucket of food that every goat really wants to get at.

It's the final holiday season of the decade, and everyone is looking to end it with a bang. The holidays are a time for parties, decorations, family visits, and of course, shopping. But finding that perfect gift for everyone on your shopping list is enough to make anybody's head spin.
While the thoughts of many Penn Staters dance around home-cooked meals and family traditions, the plans of international students often don't involve going home.
Many students are getting reading to say "bon voyage" and venture to different countries for the spring semester. Soon they will pack their bags, board a flight, and find themselves in a whole new world -- where instant mac-and-cheese and "Grey's Anatomy" may not exist.
To avoid conflict with the 2010 Winter Olympics, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has moved the 82nd annual Oscars to March 7, rather than late February. This means one thing -- more time to get acquainted with 2009's best movies, many of which come out this month.
With final exams just around the corner, students anticipate long hours of filling in review sheets and flipping through flashcards.
People back home just don't understand the mad rush for housing in State College.
Students have just returned to Penn State, and it's already time to start thinking about where to live next year.
