The pop-minded singer/songwriter
Marshall Crenshaw
built up an impressive body of work over the course of his career, showing a fine craft for everything he approached while stubbornly following his own creative muse to reach that end. To call
's career "interesting" would be putting things mildly. He starred in several movies and portrayed
John Lennon
in the road-show version of Beatlemania. His songs were featured on several film soundtracks and covered by such diverse artists as
Robert Gordon
Bette Midler
Kelly Willis
Marti Jones
, and
the Gin Blossoms
. He assembled a bunch of like-minded show business acquaintances and issued a book about rock & roll movies entitled Hollywood Rock & Roll. He assembled compilations for record companies (most notably
Hillbilly Music...Thank God!
for the short-lived Bug Music label) and contributed chapters to books on vintage guitar collecting. In short,
is a true rock & roll renaissance man, and his own music remains as commendable as his alternate projects.
Born in Detroit and raised in the surrounding area,
played in a number of different bands in high school, eventually landing in his first professional combo, ASTIGAFA (an acronym for "A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed for All," cribbed from the back of
Sgt. Pepper's
). Although nothing releasable came from this venture, the experience cemented the basic ingredients of
's style that would surface full bloom at the dawn of his solo career. According to
, "That band really didn't have a high profile in Detroit, but I was using that time, working alone, woodshedding, gathering information. Around '73, I just stopped listening to the radio and just became immersed listening to old 45s from the '50s and early '60s. It seemed to me that there was more immediacy in those records than the stuff that was on the radio at that time." But just as his ears learned to love echoey mono '50s records, his songwriting influences went in an opposite direction: "One batch of stuff that I really feel that I was strongly influenced by was a lot of the R&B-pop kind of stuff that was around in the early '70s. I just love that romantic kind of R&B kind of sound, all those chord changes in those tunes."
Unfortunately, Detroit was not a musical hotbed during the late '70s, so
responded to an advertisement in Rolling Stone and auditioned for the Broadway musical Beatlemania instead. Hired as a
John Lennon
moved to New York City and quickly found himself in a heady, competitive situation. After completing his six-month "Beatle boot camp" training, he appeared in the show for six months in Hollywood and San Francisco, then finished up his remaining six months with the production on the road. Though he found the show creatively stifling, it made him sit down and figure out what kind of music he wanted to create. After buying a four-track recorder,
began making demos whenever he was home.
was soon armed with demos galore and began dropping them off to any show business connection who might listen. Additionally, his younger brother was playing drums in
's trio, which was starting to plug into New York City's burgeoning new wave club scene. An early fan of the trio's music was local scenester Alan Betrock, who had recently launched his own label, Shake Records. It was
's debut single, "Something's Gonna Happen," on Betrock's label that kicked up enough noise to bring major-label interest knocking at his door. Signing with Warner Bros. in 1982,
recorded five well-crafted studio albums before parting ways seven years later to sign with MCA for one album,
Life's Too Short
. During this flurry of activity,
also flexed his acting muscles, portraying a high school bandleader in Peggy Sue Got Married,
Buddy Holly
in La Bamba, and making a guest appearance on the Nickelodeon series Pete and Pete.
Emerging from a three-year hiatus,
then signed with the independent label Razor & Tie and released a live album,
Live: My Truck Is My Home
, in 1994. He also penned the Top 10 single "Til I Hear It from You" for
the Gin Blossoms
, providing the band with their highest-charting single to date. A new studio effort,
Miracle of Science
, followed in 1996.
The 9 Volt Years
, a collection of demos and home recordings, appeared in 1998, and a year later
returned with a new studio effort,
. Although
's audience had waned considerably since his '80s heyday, his albums still received critical accolades for their power pop prowess, and he was enlisted to write the humorous title track for the film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story in 2005. Following the movie's release two years later,
returned to his own work with 2009's

Money from the Niagara Power Project helped break decades of inertia on Buffalo's waterfront.
Rep. Brian Higgins thinks it can do the same for Niagara Falls.
The Buffalo Democrat on Thursday called on the New York Power Authority to fund the removal of the Robert Moses Parkway, which is seen as the main barrier to tourism along the Niagara River.
"NYPA planned the parkway, NYPA built it, NYPA evicted several scores of homeowners and other property owners to seize the land on which it sits, and NYPA owns the land under the parkway to this day," Higgins said. "As such, NYPA bears the responsibility for fixing it."
Higgins said the Power Authority should pay $120 million for the removal and redesign of the highway, which Higgins termed as "absurdly overbuilt."
State officials and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-NY, already are working on plans to convert a stretch of the highway near Niagara Falls State Park into a pedestrian-friendly, low-speed road that would connect the city to the river, and similar plans are under review between Niagara Falls and Lewiston.
But a lack of funding – which has stalled previous plans for the Moses – remains a key obstacle with only $5 million allocated for two projects that could top $100 million.
"Right now, you're going to have a very ambitious plan with very little money to finance it," Higgins said. "Five million won't do anything for you here, it just won't. One hundred million will."
Higgins argues the Power Authority has an obligation to undo Moses' namesake because it tore down homes to build the highway in the 1950s despite opposition from concerned residents and local leaders.
Those decisions not only displaced residents but created a physical and economic barrier between the crumbling city and the gorge, according to a 14-page report he provided to Power Authority Chairman John R. Koelmel.
"As the successor to Robert Moses, you have an historic opportunity to right one of the more egregious historic wrongs which he committed by reworking the roadway which bears his name to actually serve the interests of the city and the neighborhoods in which it sits," Higgins wrote to Koelmel.
City officials said they were pleased that Higgins is engaging in waterfront affairs in Niagara Falls, two weeks after the struggling city was added to his redrawn Congressional district.
They hope Higgins can get the Power Authority to deliver the kind of money it gave to Buffalo, when a 2005 settlement netted $279 million for the redevelopment of Buffalo's waterfront.
"I think this is going to be very popular cause in the City of Niagara Falls," Mayor Paul A. Dyster said. "There's certainly a feeling in the region that the Niagara power plant provides benefits for the state in excess of what we get back as a region."
To underscore that point, Higgins said the Power Authority:
• Helped take more than $1 billion from the Niagara project in the last six years to fund operations elsewhere.
• Had a 2008 surplus of $309 million, 76 percent of which came from the Niagara plant
• Generated an extra $39.5 million last year from excess water flows at Niagara and should see its profits grow as it increases its generating capacity
Higgins also notes that the Niagara plant is one of few power plants that makes money for the state. He says state studies showed that prior to the relicensing agreement, only 14 percent of the economic benefit from the Niagara plant remains in Western New York.
"No other place in the state can provide what Niagara Falls can," Higgins said. "NYPA can and should choose to be a partner in the city's rise once again."
Power Authority spokesman Michael Saltzman declined to comment on the details of the proposal but said the authority would "respond in a timely manner and continue to have an open dialogue with the congressman."
If the authority does not pay the funds, Higgins suggests he could object to the 2019 federal relicensing of a power plant in the Catskills which is deemed crucial to the New York City power supply. Local leaders could push for the authority to lose control of that plant, the report states.
"I am prepared to use that as leverage again," Higgins said.

Hurricane Ingrid developed this afternoon reaching sustained maximum winds of 75 mph. It could strengthen further before landfall on Monday, the National Hurricane Center says.
As you can see in the track model forecasts below, the hurricane should move a bit north before turning west and and making landfall near Tampico, Mexico. It should remain well to the south of the Texas border.
The main threat from this storm is very heavy rainfall along the Mexican Gulf Coast, which could lead to life-threatening mudslides.
Closer to home, any rain associated with the deep tropical moisture of Ingrid should remain confined to the Valley region as well as coastal Texas. Below is the rainfall accumulation forecast from the 12z European model for the period of between now and midday Wednesday.
The Texas coast should also see slightly elevated tides from the storm through Monday.

on March 19, 2013 - 12:29 AM
The other side in the bitter battle of the state's most recent gun-control legislation spoke up Monday at a rally in Martin Luther King Park.
About 60 people, many representing such local organizations as the Coalition for Economic Justice, MAD DADS and the Baptist Ministries Conference of Buffalo, gathered around the bust of the slain civil rights leader to voice their support for the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, which was signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Jan. 15.
Local opponents of the SAFE Act have rallied in Niagara Square, and opponents from across the state have gathered in Albany to demand a repeal of the legislation, which, they say, was enacted too hastily and is a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
However, the Rev. James Giles, executive director of Back to Basics Ministries, who spoke at Monday's rally, said opponents have mischaracterized the legislation.
"We want to say to the opponents of this legislation, this is a first step, and quit twisting the issue that has nothing to do with the Second Amendment right to bear arms," said Giles.
"It has everything to do with trying to institute some policies that are going to help ferret out these assault weapons and keep the guns out of the hands of people that may have mental health issues, that not only don't know how to use a weapon correctly, but their hearts are not in the right place regarding human life," he added.
The SAFE Act was passed in the wake of the Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 children, all younger than 8, and six teachers and administrators were killed.
Locally, Amy Wallace, a wife and a mother of two sons, was inspired to start the Buffalo and Western New York Chapter of Moms Demand Action.
"Sandy Hook changed everything," Wallace said at Monday's rally.
"I remember watching the footage on television in disbelief. That day changed things for me and millions of people across the country. It brought the gun-control debate front and center once again. This time, there is no going back," she added.
Erie County Legislature Chairwoman Betty Jean Grant expressed her support for reasonable gun-control legislation, but she defended the County Legislature's decision to vote in favor of asking for a repeal of the SAFE Act.
"We went on record saying that we don't support the SAFE Act as it was written, because it didn't include the provision for law enforcement with the magazine clip holding more than [seven] bullets. I believe our law enforcement need to have more ammunition than the criminals out here," said Grant.
Buffalo Council Member Demone Smith, who represents the Masten District, insisted the legislation will go a long way toward reducing gun violence in communities such as his.
"We finally have a governor who had the guts to stand up and say we're going to do something about this, and he did," Smith said.
"One thing we have to do is when people make good decisions on behalf of the community, we've got to let them know that we're with you. Thank you for standing up against the interests that did not want this to happen," he added.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) and Polaris Group formed a collaboration to expand development of Polaris' pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20), a cancer drug candidate that kills tumor cells by depleting the amino acid arginine. The firms will also try to identify other amino acid-degrading enzymes with antitumor activity.
The collaboration builds on an existing relationship under which LICR and Polaris have studied ADI-PEG 20 in melanoma. The partners are now conducting a Phase II trial in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) that was initiated in December 2010. LICR is the sponsor of the SCLC clinical trial and is sharing expenses and resources with Polaris to conduct the trial.
ADI-PEG 20 works by systemically depleting the external supply of arginine, which causes arginine-dependent cancer cells to die while leaving the normal cells unharmed. Phase II trials have yielded positive results in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic melanoma, and Phase II trials for small cell lung cancer and mesothelioma are currently ongoing.
"The current trial of ADI in patients with SCLC is particularly exciting because of the strong preclinical antitumor activity in SCLC models, the high frequency of arginine-dependence in SCLC, and the initial striking sensitivity of SCLC to cytotoxic agents," notes Lloyd J. Old, M.D, director of LICR's New York branch and William E. Snee chair in immunology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
"Because arginine dependence appears to be a characteristic of many tumor types, LICR and Polaris have decided to establish a formal partnership to explore the full potential of ADI in human cancer therapy and to use our joint strengths to identify other amino acid-degrading enzymes with antitumor activity," Dr. Old adds.

After more than five months of research and writing, the City of Altoona's Act 47 coordinator will deliver its financial recovery plan today.
The arrival in late afternoon of the 326-page plan in paper form at City Hall and in electronic form on the city website will trigger a series of meetings, hearings and decisions over the next 5 weeks designed to help the city avoid insolvency next year.
It was a little more than a year ago that Councilman Bruce Kelley suggested resorting to the Act 47 program, after council saw a preliminary 2012 budget that projected a $1.6 million operational deficit with just enough money in the fund balance to cover - making it certain that the city wouldn't be able to make ends meet in 2013.
Today, in a change of plans, representatives of the Stevens & Lee coordinator team will meet with City Council and the public at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers to go over the executive summary of the recovery plan, team leader John Espenshade said.
Team members won't take questions, although the public can comment, Espenshade said.
Like a meeting the coordinator held Oct. 9, today's meeting is not required by Act 47 - in contrast to a mandated hearing on the recovery plan Nov. 28.
City Manager Joe Weakland is neither nervous nor excited about finally seeing the plan, which will probably include provisions that will release the city from current state limits on earned income or property tax or both and provisions that would cut costs.
"Maybe curious," Weakland said. "I'm kind of just waiting to see."
Mayor Bill Schirf will make himself available 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays until Nov. 29 in the conference room on the top floor of City Hall to residents and employees who want to discuss the recovery plan.
He intends to explain and reassure and to accept constructive criticism to pass on to the coordinator for possible changes.
The coordinator can file a revised plan Dec. 7, if necessary.
Council will meet to adopt the plan Dec. 19.
"It's a very tight window of opportunity," Schirf said.
Should council reject the plan or the city manager refuses to put it in practice, either could follow the Act 47 protocol for an alternate plan.
The act allows as many as 56 days for adopting such an alternate plan, although the approach of the end of the year and the need to get new revenue in place for 2013 might seem to preclude even considering an alternate plan - much less taking as long as allowed to get it approved.
In developing the recovery plan it will present today, Stevens & Lee spoke to many local stakeholders, including developer Don Devorris.
As a result of that interaction, Devorris will be reviewing the recovery plan to provide constructive criticism that the coordinator could incorporate into the revised plan due Dec. 7, according to Devorris.
"They asked me, and I said I would be glad to do it," Devorris said. "[To] review their findings and see whether or not their conclusions are [likely to produce] the best result for the city under the circumstances."
Devorris chose a "cross section" of people for his review, but declined to say who they are.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to support [the plan]," he said.
The coordinator team also spoke to Joe Hurd, CEO of the Blair County Chamber of Commerce, mainly about whether the city's entry into the distressed municipalities program will make it harder to attract or retain businesses, due to "diminished reputation."
According to the consultant, it shouldn't hurt, Hurd said.
For Fire Department Assistant Chief Steve Michelone, the answer to the city's financial problems can be simple: dispatching the "4,000 pound gorilla" - reassessment.
It doesn't need to be done by Blair County, which hasn't updated since 1958, he pointed out.
The city can do it.
If either did it, the city would no longer be hamstrung by the 30-mill state cap on general-purpose property taxes, because millage would reset to a much lower level.
The cap was never meant to limit municipalities in the way it has limited Altoona, as a result of the absurdly out-of-date assessment figures, he said.
The city has done all it can to work around those restrictions, using then-Finance Director Henry Bucci's 1996 breakout of capital/debt-service and recreational millage - both uncapped - as a safety valve, he said.
That and other maneuvers have helped postpone the reckoning that is now upon us, Michelone said.
Big benefits can also come if the city found a way to get significant and reliable income from tax-exempt properties like that controlled by Altoona Regional Health System, he said.
Two officials connected with the Altoona Water Authority don't think the plan is likely to call for privatization of its water and sewer system - a council proposal that the authority defeated in 2004 by agreeing to pay an additional $2.1 million a year to the city for "services."
Some observers have suggested that privatization might make sense now, by providing a windfall that would help the city make ends meet, at least for a while.
"It doesn't fix the city's root problem," authority General Manager Mark Perry said.
It might not be easy to accomplish, consulting engineer Mark Glenn of Gwin, Dobson & Foreman said.
An end-of-2011 audit lists system assets at $231 million, but long-term liabilities are $94 million, Glenn said.
Privatization would require the bondholders to whom that money is owed to approve a sale - which would mean they would accept the new owner as equally likely to repay the debt - or a payback of that debt, before the sale, Glenn said.

Click on party chicks
We're not sure what John Beard, co-host of WGRZ-TV's "Daybreak" morning show, was thinking about Tuesday as he tried to introduce a "Ways 2 Save" segment, but we want an invitation to his Super Bowl party.
"Today, your key to a perfect Super Bowl day party is only two chicks away," Beard said at about 5:15 a.m., before catching himself and quickly adding, "two clicks away, two clicks away."
Co-host Melissa Holmes, chuckling, repeated "two clicks away" before she, Beard and correspondent Matt Granite broke into laughter, and Holmes struggled to throw to Granite.
"That's going on the blooper reel," a chortling Holmes said, as Granite swayed so violently in his seat that he dislodged the mic clipped to his tie.
"OK, my bad," Beard said as Holmes, gamely trying to recover, said, "OK, Matt, what are you talking about today?"
Granite, teasing the co-hosts, replied, "Back to you, Melissa and John."
Beard said, "Not yet," and Holmes, waving her hands near her head, said, "I think I'm crying," before Granite finally moved on with the planned segment.
Later that morning, Sports Illustrated picked the clip as "Local News Video of the Day" for the "Hot Clicks" page on its website, and good sports Holmes and Granite tweeted.
"I'm amazed I regained my composure," Granite wrote, before applauding Holmes' professionalism.
Breaded or beer-battered?
The Kiwanis Club of East Aurora is again trying to break the Guinness World Record for largest fish fry.
The record has eluded the club for four straight years – even as it sold 2,149 dinners last year, missing the record by about 400 dinners.
Will the fifth time be the charm? BW's Smokin' Barrels is supplying enough for 3,000 fish dinners Friday. It's "grab and go" takeout outside the Parkdale Elementary School.
Event co-chairman Patrick Blizniak is more than ready to face the challenge.
"Buffalo is the king of fish fry. We've been steadily climbing. It's almost a geometric progression. Almost," Blizniak said of the East Aurora event. "Every year, we just keep getting more and more."
If the record of 2,552 fish fry dinners – served by Krolick's Barbecue in 2008 during the Polish Heritage Festival at the Erie County Fairgrounds – still holds after Friday's attempt in East Aurora, Blizniak insists he won't give up.
"If we don't make it, it's going to be so damn close that we'll have to come back next year," he said.
And if East Aurora breaks the record? "We'll probably go to Wallenwein's," Blizniak said, referring to a landmark tavern in the village.
It'll be our secret, Murph
It was a job well done by Buffalo Bills play-by-play announcer John Murphy, who a couple of nights ago served as master of ceremonies at the 2013 Catholic Education Dinner.
It takes a nice touch to keep a crowd of 1,000-plus people entertained in front of Bishop Richard J. Malone and to move the program along when award-winning and socially conscious – but long-winded – nuns step on stage.
Getting him to accept the job probably wasn't so hard:
His sister, Diane Revelas of Amherst, was among those heading the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center event.
Murphy recalled the night last summer when he warned his sister one thing could prevent him from attending: the Bills playing in the Super Bowl.
Whew! Dodged that bullet!
Maureen Orth, the Vanity Fair special correspondent and widow of political journalist and Buffalo native Tim Russert, was the dinner's keynote speaker. The Berkeley, Calif., native revealed she'll be in New Orleans for Sunday's game to root for the 49ers.
"Thank you, Maureen," Murphy said after Orth finished her remarks, before adding a supportive "Go 'Niners!"
Then, remembering his status as a Bills announcer, Murphy looked out at the audience and pleaded, "You won't tell anybody I said that, will you?"

It's great to see Buffalo finally making progress
Over the years, I've written numerous articles criticizing the City of Buffalo for always being stuck in the Dark Ages and just generally being incompetent and stupid.
But now it has gone too far. Things are actually happening. Not only are development plans being introduced, but they are approved, built and finished! It seems like twice a week some grand plan is being announced with backing and excitement. I have nothing to write about.
I commend those with vision and the commitment. Keep the momentum going, and continue to think big. I even think the new stadium has a chance.
And lastly, to the negative people who always find something wrong (preservationists), you still have a chance to help the city to progress – just move to Cleveland.

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - One body has been recovered and Mississippi authorities are looking for another after two empty kayaks were found adrift earlier this week.
The father-and-son kayakers had last been seen at the mouth of Biloxi Bay on Wednesday afternoon. But a shrimper later reported seeing two kayaks adrift that evening. The body of 57-year-old Ken Rainer was found near the mouth of Davis Bayou on Thursday. Twenty-two-year-old Nick Rainer is still missing and authorities are now characterizing the search as a recovery, rather than a rescue mission.
Family members and friends of the victims were keeping a vigil at the Ocean Springs harbor. Authorities said the search would continue throughout the day Saturday.

For once, the score really wasn't indicative of what happened on the field. For the record, the Charleston Battery trounced the Antigua Barracuda FC, 4-0, Saturday in the club's home opener.
But it could have been much worse.
Ben Fisk and former College of Charleston star Zach Prince each had a goal and an assist in the victory before an announced crowd of 4,546 at Blackbaud Stadium.
Charleston (1-1) finished the game with 27 shots on goal, the most anyone can remember for the Battery in recent history. Charleston also probably had just as many quality scoring chances against the outmanned Barracuda, who lost 2-0 Friday night to Wilmington.
It was a mismatch from the opening kickoff, but went a long way in soothing the damaged psyche of the Battery after last week's 4-1 season-opening loss to Richmond.
"It's a great start to our home schedule," said Charleston Battery coach Mike Anhaeuser. "We got the three points and we scored four goals and got a clean sheet and that's really the most important thing. We could have had a few more goals."
That might have been an understatement.
The Battery were whistled for 10 offside violations during the match. Four times the Battery appeared to score only to have the goals disallowed because of offside calls.
"It was a frustrating night and you don't say that very often after you score four goals," said Battery midfielder Nicki Paterson. "We probably should have scored 10 goals. I should have had three or four. But we got the three points."
The Barracuda (0-3) didn't manage much of an attack, recording just five total shots and one scoring chance. Odisnel Cooper, a former Cuban national team keeper, barely broke a sweat and got his first shutout with the Battery, making three saves.
"I thought we kept our shape most of the match," Anhaeuser said. "They never really pushed the ball forward. You could tell they were tired from (Friday's) match with Wilmington."
After several quality scoring chances in the opening 15 minutes of the match, the Battery broke through on Heviel Cordoves' goal in the 21st minute. Fisk got the ball on the left side as the Barracuda defensive wall stepped up to draw the Battery offside. However, Cordoves timed his run perfectly as Fisk lofted the ball over the wall, and the former Cuban national team player was all alone on Antigua keeper Corey Whisenhunt. Cordoves easily beat Whisenhunt for the goal.
Less than two minutes later, Fisk came down the left flank, stepped past a Barracuda defender just outside the 18-yard box, cut to the middle and slammed home his chance to give the Battery a 2-0 advantage.
Charleston pushed its lead to 3-0 on Dane Kelly's goal in the 78th minute. Prince sent a searching ball into the penalty area on a corner kick and Kelly volleyed it past Whisenhunt for the score.
Prince ripped a shot past Whisenhunt from about 30 yards out in the 85th minute to give the Battery a 4-0 lead.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- If Bill O'Brien's hiring wasn't the proverbial big-name grand slam for which Nittany Lions fans were hoping, Penn State's new football coach clearly hit the ball way out of the park during an introductory press conference Saturday.
Now, if he can coach and recruit as well as he talks, the Nittany Nation will be quite pleased.
O'Brien wowed a packed ballroom of media, PSU staff and supporters at the Nittany Lion Inn with an impressive measure of determination, respect, humility, a sense of humor and an in-charge presence.
He recognized his family and thanked those who molded him en route to this point.
His first good call was to confirm his retention of popular defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
He paid fitting tribute to Joe Paterno, but the most impressive thing he said -- even before being asked -- was grasping his role as the healer of a fractured Penn State Nation.
O'Brien crafted his thoughts over the past two nights. He is sending a letter to the entire Lettermen's Club, many members of which are rankled by Paterno's firing and many of whom supported Tom Bradley.
Part of what he wrote follows:
"I understand that there's some controversy out there right now. I can see it. I understand that. But it's my job to head it in the right direction.
"We respect the right to one's opinions, beliefs and contributions to Penn State. We admire one's loyalties to Penn State, Penn State football, its grand tradition, Coach Paterno and all of his football staffs and present and former players. We respectfully request the opportunity to earn your trust."
It was that kind of strong message that, despite O'Brien's lack of head-coaching experience, impressed a search committee that had reached out to him.
He said he will be available to any past player because knowing he's an outside hire, he senses the importance of relationships and "the Penn State legacy, in addition to Coach Paterno, is about all these great players who played here."
"I'll be on the phone working 24-7, in addition to recruiting," he said.
But the bottom line, ultimately, will be the bottom line. As O'Brien noted, "winning cures everything."
While he'll do everything possible to salvage this recruiting class, he sees the big picture, underscoring the loyalty shown by staying with the New England Patriots through the NFL playoffs.
"I'm not as concerned about signing this many kids in the next three weeks," he said. "I'm concerned about the next 10 to 20 years here. The best thing I can do is show our team the loyalty and commitment I can for the Patriots."
True, plus the deeper New England goes -- not that we're rooting for them against the Steelers -- the more exposure O'Brien and Penn State will get.
On the field, O'Brien won't have as much of a challenge. It's no secret that the Lions -- given their resources and their history -- underachieved for the better part of the last 15 years, especially in big games and especially on offense.
But O'Brien won't distance himself from the Lions' staples, saying, "Defensively, we will continue the great tradition of defenses that have gone before us here."
While at Brown, O'Brien didn't play against Penn State, but his brother Tom played for Brown in a 38-21 loss at Beaver Stadium in 1983.
"He claims as a sophomore to have made a tackle on the kickoff team," O'Brien said. "We've got to go check the film and see if that's correct."
The coach poked fun at himself, too, referencing his baldness by saying, "I look like I'm 50, but I'm only 42, follicularly challenged."
He was blown away by his reception -- "unbelievable, what a special program," and said he'll wear his heart on his sleeve.
"I'm myself so if I see something I think is pretty neat, I'm going to tell you," he said. "When I walked up on the stage, I just thought it was pretty cool to have a lot of pepople here and that much interest in Penn State football. I knew about it, but it was cool to see it first hand."
When there were questions O'Brien didn't want to answer, he didn't, and based on the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the uncertainty that awaits, that's not a bad approach.
All in all, O'Brien easily went 1-0 Saturday, and among the admirers was one of the most loyal and beloved Penn Staters, Fran Fisher, who watched the proceedings from the back of the room.
"I was impressed, particularly when he was speaking without his notes," Fisher said. "I was rooting for Bradley -- I'll admit that, because I know what he did for this program -- but he [O'Brien] is our coach, and we've got to stick with him. I wish him well."
So, too, will the Nittany Nation.

5 Reasons Calling Someone a 'Nerd' Is Officially Meaningless
#2. Hobbies
Or if it's hard to define a nerd by what they like these days, how about by what they do? (According to Batman Begins, that is what defines you, after all.) There's a number of hobbies that have traditionally been associated with "nerdism," like ham radio, chess, bottlecap collecting and making scale models of anything.
Gadget Sin
Bonus points if it's made of Legos I guess.
But if you actually start asking around, you'll find people name hobbies like sewing, knitting, dancing, playing guitar, cooking and photography to define themselves as nerds. What the hell? Does anyone consider Gordon Ramsay a nerd? Jimi Hendrix? Your grandmother?
West Valley College
Elvis Presley: Nerd?
Nerd hobbies are suffering the same nebulous loss of meaning as nerd fandoms. Separating out weird hobbies to make fun of made more sense in a time when people didn't have as much free time and didn't have as much technology, which kind of limited the amount of hobbies you could have. Sports was the defining mainstream hobby, and kids who couldn't do them filtered out to clubs with less physical activities, so those clubs got a reputation for having people who couldn't hack it with the top dogs.
Nowadays, there are a million formerly weird and isolated hobbies that are mainstream enough you can take lessons for them or buy guided tours or watch TV shows dedicated to them. Skydiving, bodysurfing, pole dancing, belly dancing, geocaching, tabletop RPGs, photoshopping, drawing webcomics, criticizing webcomics, building fighting robots -- you name it. A lot of people might think these pursuits are weird, but if there's a TV show or a bunch of companies offering lessons or you're getting a million views on the Internet, they'll accept this is as a real thing that lots of people like for some reason.
Can't say I get it, but this is what the people want ... ed for like two months.
Even the most jockish of hobbies, sports, is full of nerds now, with hosts of companies using mathematical models and statistical analysis to help teams scout, probably made most famous through baseball's Sabermetrics, a mathematical approach to the game that co-starred with Brad Pitt in Moneyball. 27 million Americans pore over stats and tables every week to try to get the edge in their fantasy football leagues.
Coming from the other side, the most definitive of nerd hobbies, video gaming, has been compromised by the outside world. Seventy-two percent of American households play video games, and the average age of a player is 37. Forty-two percent of them are women.
And apparently old people are really digging the Wii.
Now granted, a lot of these people are playing online poker and Cityville, and are not racking up the kills in Modern Warfare or anything. Still, it really cuts down on the number of people who would make fun of someone just for playing video games.
At least they have to be more specific now in belittling gamers, and add a whole bunch of qualifying remarks about how they're talking about a specific age of player, or a player who plays more than a certain amount of hours, or plays a certain type of game, just to make sure their taunting doesn't boomerang on them.
Of course people who play one kind of game and sneer at people who play other types of games are creeping dangerously close to making nerds into ...
#1. Snobs
This is almost the opposite of what nerds were originally supposed to be. Nerds were supposed to be people on the outside that just couldn't get in. A lot of people these days, though, are turning it into an exclusive club they won't let the outside world get into. People get really vicious about calling out "fake nerds" and really nervous about establishing their own "nerd cred."
I've seen it used to describe being at a higher level of taste/knowledge in a certain area, as in, "It's OK, I understand why you people swallow that mainstream, manipulative Forrest Gump pap, because you don't know any better, you're not a film nerd like me."
"See, I understand that the only good movies are the ones where nothing happens."
In this new arrangement, the nerd is the one who's in a position to look down on the masses.
Some of that is understandable. People who have been on the outside for a long time, and finally find a small group of like-minded folks to band with out on the fringes, would naturally be quite upset when tons of the very insiders who had excluded them for so many years came pouring out from Cool Land and plopped right down in the middle of Comic Book Refugee Camp, claiming loudly that they had been there the whole time.
If the guy that used to taunt you for playing video games is now wearing an ironic Valve trucker hat and chest-thumping to all his buddies about his kill counts and epic teabaggings and the booth babes he scored with at E3, you would understandably not want to chat with him about which Portal shirt would look cooler on him.
Also he just discovered "The cake is a lie," and quotes it constantly.
Those people are really annoying, but in fighting them, what are you really holding on to? If you cared about a specific game or Star Trek series before everybody jumped on board, sure, maybe you want to cling onto your loyal fan badge for that particular thing, but protecting the "nerd" label itself? If you want to defend liking Game of Thrones back when it was just books, does it really make sense to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 16-year-old Xbox Live addicts, moth collectors and a Cisco software engineer? Maybe they think Game of Thrones is overhyped and tries too hard to be gritty and all the characters' names are stupid.
This is their totally hypothetical opinion. I would never say anything like that about such a beloved and critically acclaimed series.
With the diffusion of hobbies and entertainment, and the fact that it's cool to be smart now, maybe the word "nerd" doesn't really mean anything useful anymore. It was hard enough to get people to agree on what it meant before -- was it mainly about the rejection? Did you have to be smart? Which hobbies counted? -- but now it's even less clear.
Nerds don't even dress like nerds these days. Someone dressed like this would be a hipster.
Maybe it's time to drop the word and focus separately on each of the "nerd" traits we happen to have. Traits that include so many people that if we called them all nerds, there would be more "nerds" than non-nerds. So instead of calling our own set of traits "nerd things" and arguing with other nerds about why traits outside of our set aren't "real" nerd things, why not just say there's no definitive standard for nerdiness and let us all be the individual things that make us up?

The beginning of a school year is always an exciting time; new classes, new teachers, maybe even a new school. But by now, the first day of school is a distant memory. The excitement of a new school year has long since worn off, and it's a bit too early to count down the days until summer. This is the time of year when teens wonder why it is so easy to drift off during a lecture, be too social during social studies and stare out the window when the math problems just don't add up. But never fear! Here are some strategies and tips, tested and used by yours truly, to help you focus in class:
Get enough sleep
Maybe you had a sporting event to play in. Maybe you're cramming for a big test or writing your English essay and complaining about how much work your teacher hands out. Whatever the reason, there are some nights when you're up later than expected. Here's a tip: Go to bed! Don't scroll through your newsfeed on Facebook for another half-hour (I'm sure you already did plenty of that while you were "doing your homework"). Instead of watching the end of the "Spongebob" marathon, record it and watch it over the weekend. You may think animated sea creatures and a talking cleaning appliance are important now, but you will regret it when you're drooling on your notes in class.
Keep your head up
Some teachers just make you want to put your head on your desk and go to sleep. This makes it all the more difficult to pay attention. Propping your head up so that your ear is resting on your hand isn't helpful either. I have found that I can hear much more clearly when my hand isn't blocking the droning sound of my teacher's voice out of my left ear. Also, sitting up straight makes it much easier to focus. I'm sure there's some scientific explanation involving blood flow to the brain or something, but whatever the reason, it works.
Bring food
Of course, check with the teacher to make sure it's OK first, but eating a little snack can make you less tired and help you focus on the lesson. Plus, food in your stomach means you won't be distracted by hunger. I have a late lunch, and even though I eat breakfast every day, I'm always hungry by third period. It's great to have a granola bar, small apple or even a mini-sized candy bar when your stomach starts to make noise.
Choose your seat wisely
You can't always pick your seat, but when you can, be sure to choose a good one. If you know you'll be distracted if you sit in the back, then move up. Sitting on the sides in a wide classroom isn't a great idea either; in one of my classes, alphabetical order put me right in front of the door, which my teacher rarely closes. I get free entertainment every class from those kids who walk really slowly to the bathroom and make faces at every classroom they pass, not to mention the sound of female teachers clomping down the hall in their monstrous black heels. One can imagine how much extra effort it takes to pay attention. Sitting toward the front in the center of the room is probably your best bet.
Force your mind to stop wandering
Sitting in class one day, I thought to myself, "I really should be paying better attention." It was at that moment when I came up with the idea for this article. I began brainstorming ideas … until I realized that I wasn't listening to anything my teacher was saying. Don't follow my example. Try not to think about anything other than what the teacher is talking about. Don't think about why Mildred dumped Renaldo over Facebook, or how cute Judy Ann looks in her new outfit. It's really hard, I know, but it's important!
Be conscious of distractions
You probably don't realize it, but the miscellaneous background noises in classrooms that you don't think about are just as efficient as lullabies. The hum of the furnace is a great example, as well as the strange clicking noise that happens when someone drops paper or a pen cap in between the slots on the heater. Combine this stealthy symphony with a monotonous Monday morning and you'll soon find that spiral notebooks are not the best of pillows. If you are aware of the sounds around you, they are less likely to carry you off into nap-land.
Know what is going on
It happens to the best of us … the teacher calls on you to read a passage or answer a question, and you don't know what continent you're on. If there is a wrinkle in your brain that has the slightest idea of what is happening, use it! It's a lot easier to pay attention when you're knowledgeable about a conversation. Who knows? Maybe you'll even raise your hand and add in your 2 cents. Imagine that!
Try to have a positive attitude
Yes, this one sounds corny, but I have learned that complaining about how boring a class is doesn't make it any more interesting, and whining about how much work you get doesn't deplete the workload. Have an open mind about the material and don't be too harsh of a judge if you don't particularly like the teacher. You're way more likely to pay attention if you enjoy or appreciate the content of the class, and that won't happen if you don't give it a chance.
Next time you're sitting in class bored out of your mind, maybe you'll think of these tips. Maybe you'll even try some of these strategies. But once you decide which idea to try, stop thinking about this article. We wouldn't want you not paying attention.

Like a ship without a rudder, Mount Pleasant is plowing ahead seemingly in spite of itself. Last year we were looking at a new $21,000,000 town hall and highway 17 was being planted and illuminated at a frantic pace. This year we are having property taxes, business license fees, permitting fees and stormwater fees raised. We have also seen Coleman Boulevard populated at ever-increasing densities, but now we are seeing changes in that plan happening at a pace that makes everyone nervous, including the developers. Council meetings are never complete without a requested change to the comprehensive plan. The fact is the town council has become completely reactionary to anyone who comes through the door. It is time to face the facts. Mount Pleasant has once again exploded due to residential growth. Schools are full, roads are crowded and we continue on a path that encourages the type of growth that will not pay for itself. Economic development was cast aside every time a developer or investor wanted to make a fast buck by rezoning property from commercial or economic development to residential. After all, everyone wants to live in Mount Pleasant and residential development can turn the land quickly. Now the town wants to hire an economic development coordinator. After all the rezonings, how much land is there for economic development? What light, clean industry can or would come to Mount Pleasant? New employees will find traffic and crowded schools. In its effort to be everything to everyone, Mount Pleasant has run itself into a corner. Four years ago, Mayor Swails threw the doors open and now we simply have more residents than our infrastructure can accommodate. The only alternatives left are to manage growth, especially the 1,000 or so residences currently planned along Rifle Range Road, or continue to raise taxes. Once the developers leave, we the taxpayer will be left to pay for the maintenance and build new infrastructure. Remember, Mayor Page said as reported in the Post and Courier that she wished the tax and fee increases had been done sooner and were larger. Oh, and if the money was on hand for a new town hall, could some of that $21,000,000 have been spent to improve the drainage in the TIF Districts avoiding a 100 percent increase in stormwater fees?

Red Cross Month
March is Red Cross Month and the American Red Cross would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers and supporters for enabling us to provide our vital services to our communities.
During the recent winter storm, Red Cross mobilized more than 100 volunteers to assist those that were left cold and hungry by widespread power outages throughout the Palmetto S.C. Region. We opened 29 shelters in our region including seven in the Lowcountry, and we served more than 26,000 meals and snacks in conjunction with our partners.
Because people in our community gave of their time, treasure and blood, Red Cross was able to help 5,689 people affected by disasters in our region last year, distribute 119,735 units of blood to area hospitals, assist 2,653 military families and train 7,569 people in lifesaving skills.
We thank those who generously give of their time, treasure and blood so that we can continue our work, and we encourage everyone to join Red Cross in helping their neighbors. That vital work could not be done without the support of our volunteers who selflessly give of their time to give back through the American Red Cross.
Our volunteer to staff ratio is an impressive 168 to one! The Red Cross is a true volunteer organization. March is a great time to become part of the Red Cross by doing such things as developing a preparedness plan for the household, becoming a volunteer, giving blood, taking a Red Cross class and making a financial donation to support Red Cross services to our community.

They grew up in the waves, immersed in salt water and the enormity of God's creation, regular Catholic boys enjoying all that life on the Isle of Palms can offer.
Justin and Christian Gaeta were raised active at Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church on Sullivan's Island with their parents and older sister, Niki, in a family of outdoors buffs.
Christian, the younger brother, recalls watching Justin and their mother, Michelle (who goes by Mimi), go out surfing. When he was old enough, he joined them.
"You are connected to God's creation in a way that's very powerful," Justin says.
Through that connection, seeds planted and rooted over time in each brother, ultimately calling them to consider lives devoted to the priesthood.
It's a calling fewer Catholic men have heeded in recent generation, yet one these brothers took very seriously, though it has led each down a very different path — so far.
"Their story keeps getting better and better," says Father Jeff Kirby, vicar of vocations for the statewide Diocese of Charleston and a mentor to both brothers. "I constantly tell people: If you are trying to figure out God's will, you are in for quite an adventure."
Bishop England years
Both brothers attended Bishop England High School. Justin, now 26, graduated in 2005 and went to the College of Charleston to study business administration.
Yet, he graduated with no real job, unsure what to do with his life. He lived on a friend's boat and earned enough to get by.
"I was floating in this weird limbo," he recalls.
He decided to join a Catholic church trip to India.
"My faith was in there," he says. "It just needed a good kick in the butt. So, the Lord sent me to India."
For six months, he lived in a remote village helping others, wondering what he would do when he returned home.
A thought entered his mind. Perhaps he could go back to Bishop England, maybe work in the office or in maintenance. Three days later, in early 2010, he opened an email from his mother.
The school's theology department chairman had emailed her about a job opening for director of campus ministry.
Would Justin be interested in applying?
"I didn't know what to do next," Justin says. "And here was God calling
Priesthood made real
Far back as middle school, younger brother Christian remained open to what God would call him to do.
"I never went around telling people, 'I'm thinking about the priesthood,'" recalls Christian, now 22. "But it certainly wasn't a secret."
He graduated from Bishop England in 2009, then studied mechanical engineering at Clemson University, the alma mater of their father, Jerry.
With no waves around, he played Ultimate Frisbee, studied hard, dated and lived a normal college guy's life.
He also attended discernment meetings with Kirby. Just being around the priest, knowing more about what a priest does in daily life, nourished that seed planted long before.
And in Kirby he saw a holy man, one sharing his faith and building it up in younger people.
"It made the priesthood more real. It's not just this man you see once a week on Sundays," Christian says.
The seed's roots reached deeper and deeper into Christian's thoughts. He knew the Catholic church faced a severe shortage of priests, and he imagined his home parish's Msgr. Lawrence McInerny or any priest offering the Eucharist alone.
"The need for priests stuck with me," Christian says. "It was like a rallying cry."
He graduated from Clemson this spring and faced a crossroads. Should he go to graduate school? Start his career? Considering marriage?
Apply to seminary?
He and Justin, always close, often talked about what God wanted them to do with their lives. Wouldn't it be cool to attend seminary and become priests together?
A different Challiss
When he returned from India, Justin took on the campus ministry post at Bishop England.
He loved it, loved showing students how to have fun living their faiths. His own faith grew, too, along with inklings of the priesthood.
Then in summer 2011, he and a friend embarked on a long sailing trip to Hilton Head Island. At the last minute, a young College of Charleston student joined them. Challiss Vick was a marine biology major who shared their passion for the sea.
But when the three arrived in Hilton Head, their friend had to leave. Justin and Challiss (pronounced the same as the Eucharist cup), who had just met, faced 48 hours and 34 feet of boat together — alone.
It was surprisingly not awkward. Justin still recalls at one point glancing at her, the wind in her long hair. She was beautiful and grounded.
"You'll make some guy very happy," he told her.
Because the priesthood still called to him.
Just do it
In 2012, Justin decided to visit Holy Trinity Seminary in Texas.
"I decided I am just going to do it," he recalls.
He loved the seminary. But he didn't feel a spark of God's will for him there.
Back home, he told Kirby and McInerny what he'd felt. God was calling him elsewhere.
Several weeks later, he asked Challiss out.
Blood of Christ
While at Clemson, Christian decided to study abroad in Australia. He went for the waves.
On Easter, he headed to a small Catholic parish there for Mass. He rode his bike early that morning, arriving before most, and kneeled.
A woman tapped him on the shoulder. Would he assist as Eucharistic minister?
Taken aback, he mumbled something about not being trained but giving it a try.
Soon, he was offering the blood of Christ to a small flock of Australian faithful.
Why, he wondered, had God directed the woman to approach him, a 21-year-old stranger who arrived on a bike in the early hours?
When he returned home, Christian went to Kirby. He wanted to apply to seminary this fall.
But he had one class left at Clemson to graduate and it wouldn't be offered until the fall, making him too late to start seminary this year.
Suddenly, for the first time ever, Clemson offered the class over the summer.
"All my other thoughts fell away," Christian recalls.
On Aug. 25, he packed up and moved to Holy Trinity Seminary — the same seminary Justin had visited a year earlier.
Call to seminary
Christian now lives with 75 seminarians in a dorm-like setting where days begin and end with prayer. However, entering seminary doesn't mean a man has committed firmly to the priesthood.
"God is calling me to seminary at the moment," Christian says. "But I'm still very much discerning. There are days when I don't know what the Lord is calling me to."
He describes his faith and prayer life as being "on Miracle Gro." But he also sees the joy in married life.
Meanwhile, Justin soon will bring a group of men he's met through his new job as associate director of vocations for the South Carolina diocese.
"It is kind of ironic that I'm here in seminary and Justin is bringing a bunch of guys here who are discerning," Christian says, laughing.
Hearing God
Today, Justin holds meetings and events to help younger Catholics deepen their faiths.
"You can't hear God's calling if you can't hear God," he says.
He recently proposed to Challiss (on a boat, of course).
He also bought a house on James Island, sold his boat, adopted a dog and set a wedding date: May 30.
Meanwhile, Christian has immersed himself in prayer and philosophy courses.
"That is what the Lord is calling him to," Christian says. "And I need to see what the Lord is calling me to."
