I was born in Peekskill, N.Y. For three years, I lived with my parents and my younger brother in an apartment we rented from my aunt Tina.
For the last semester, I have been writing for the Arts and Entertainment desk of the Spectrum. In truth, this has worked out fairly well for me, for two reasons.

Wednesday's paper had an article entitled "Greiner Discusses New Era Contract, Role of UB President on WBFO." This article is an interview with President Greiner that explicitly avoids any comment from members of Local 14177, the Derby plant New Era employees on strike, or students.
UB's place in the community is regularly the subject of scrutiny and debate. The Economic Impact Report, prepared last month by the Office of the Provost, highlights the significant financial contribution of the university to New York state and, more specifically, Western New York.
I was very disappointed with the way UB President William Greiner conducted himself at this year's Preview Day on April 13.
Just when things started to look like they were turning around for the softball team this season, the Northern Illinois University Huskies - ranked second in the Mid-American Conference - came in and handed the Buffalo Bulls their third demoralizing sweep of the season.The Bulls played two games Saturday and one Sunday in Dekalb Ill., losing 9-0, 9-1, and 6-1 respectively.
With beautiful technical execution, UB's Casting Institute poured the fifth of eleven bronze sculptures as part of the Rumsey Restoration Project in the foundry at the Center for the Arts last Friday.The Rumsey Restoration Project is a $350,000 commission that the Casting Institute has been working on for the past eight years involving the restoration of several sculptures that will be displayed at Alumni Arena upon completion.Members of the Casting Institute are particularly excited to be working on this project, as it is the first large-scale commission executed in the foundry."It's the first realization of that investment in terms of giving back to the community," said Julie Silver, president of the Casting Institute.A foundry is the place where artists cast bronze or other metals into sculptures by melting the metal at temperatures of approximately 2,000 degrees and then pouring it into a mold for a sculpture.

Roaring screams and whistles were heard as Boyd Tinsley took his fiddle to center stage during "Lie in our Graves." Dave Matthews stood stage left and allowed Tinsley to enjoy the screaming fans.He knows that providing Tinsley the opportunity to share the spotlight is essential to creating the kind of show long-time fans are used to; the fiddler/violinist filled the arena with the talented sounds of his violin and the audience ate it up.This was just one of the amazing sets performed by Dave Matthews Band last Saturday at HSBC Arena, which sold out quickly enough that organizers jammed some fans behind the stage.
