The despair and anger was on all of their faces -- it was the look of another disappointing 90 minutes.

American Chopper and Monster Garage grease monkeys better watch out. Penn State has its own mechanics. 
Central Pennsylvania might as well be Central America to someone who has spent his entire life in Queens, New York. For local hip-hop artist Justin Staley (senior-psychology), the complete absence of an urban culture amounted to what can be described as jolting experience. State College got a shot of original music when Hold on Nothing played at Bar Bleu, 114 S. Garner St., last night. This band, currently made up of only one permanent member, played in promotion of its newly released album, Dog and Pony.
