"There is evidence that the combinations of caffeine and alcohol in these products pose a public health concern," Sharfstein continued. An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland. Many states have already placed bans on caffeine-alcohol combination drinks including Washington, Utah, Michigan and Oklahoma. "We are aware of the concerns expressed by various regulators and will ensure that all JOOSE products meet both state and national health and safety guidelines," continued Michail. "As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks. Other caffeine-alcohol combination drink makers, Miller and Anheuser-Busch, agreed to discontinue beverages such as Sparks, Tilt, and Bu4 Extra within past ypara. To date, the only approved caffeine by the FDA is as an additive for use in soft drinks in concentrations of no greater than 200 parts per million (ppm). The FDA has not approved caffeine for use at any level in alcoholic beverages. The FDA did not mention any restrictions with the use of mixed drinks such as vodka and Red Bull that can be easily ordered at any alcohol-serving establishment.

TURN TO P. 10 FOR A REVIEW "n a college student's life, convenience is important. I .A credit card makes life a bit easier. With one swipe, the bank electronically sends your money to pay for what you need or want. Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal Trade Commission give some tips to students about what to do before signing up for a credit card. The truth about a credit card is that you, the spender, are using money that they, the credit card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common fact that some users forget. The credit card has a preset limit on how much one can spend, but it brings severe consequences if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a minimum amount allowed as the monthly payment. The problem is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of the payment in next month's bill plus what you owe from that bill. In the case that a user misses a payment, the bank or credit card company adds a harsh fine to the bill. Sometimes thefineprint of the contract hides unwanted fees. In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third year Anthropology and Women's Studies double major, gave her thought on the usage of credit cards.

Without proper care, convenient things become a hassle. Mainly, save the credit card as a last resort. Only use it if you know you have the money to pay off the balance. Do read and understand all the fine print. Some cards have hidden charges glow on us daily, and the cloudless open sky barrages us with very cold air (particularly if you arrive at campus early or leave later at night). Meteorologists predict sunny skies for the beginning of the week, but those skies will be cloudless and cold with highs within the 60s. Most days during winter, I still see people going about their day in shorts, flip-flops and t-shirts. To each his own, I suppose, but there are solutions to preparing for the multi-temperature-filled days ahead. As the so-called San Diego County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering is the best method to prepare for the weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you, arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early risers), then layer down as the day wears on. Now along with books, you can lug around that large coat that hid in the back of your closet for the past three hot seasons. For being someone who has never experienced snow, but can barely dress right for this weather, I am glad that it does not occur here. One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring. Many say that the four seasons do not exist in southern California. I really cannot disagree with that statement. Often, it feels as though the weather here is either hot or cold. The hot days usually seem to dominate the cold, and it would not be surprising to find flip-flops and sunny day beach shirts in the wardrobes of San Diegans. Some days we receive a much needed, sympathy-driven cold spell, with strong winds and the occasional random rain clouds (that always seems to follow you wherever you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are never quite prepared for, are the unpredictable weather patterns. Southern California is in for a La Niña this winter. Be prepared for dry weather, according to KPBS. org. Due to the coming dry climates, this upcoming winter season should experience little to no rain, which is certainly a relief from the on again off again showers that tend to hit students during the rush hour drive home. These dry spells stir trouble following winter though, with fire as the main adversary of the south.

The trip was organized by Sheryl Lutjens, director of the Women's Studies program, who has academic ties to Cuba going back over 30 years. She made her first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a two-week trip to study Cuban health programs. Since then, she has organized 14 trips to Cuba, the largest for a group of over 50 participants. The last three have been organized specifically as research trips, since conferences are not allowed by US regulations banning travel to Cuba. The trip in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring Cuban Educational Practices." In this case, Lutjens gathered 17 educators from around the US. Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba. While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate dean of instruction and academic programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I went knowing what their literacy rate [was] and within a year of the revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to visit several kinds of campuses... to see what's happening in the pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested in what they are doing, because this is amazing. I mean, how" many countries can say this?" Jodie Lawston, an assistant professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different topic, studying the effect of edu- PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG cation on incarceration rates. "As you see, every year, there's a 'get tough on crime' emphasis and less funding [for] education in the US," she said. "[I wondered] what criminal justice would look like in a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment." The group spent roughly a week in Cuba, visiting Havana and various locations in the Villa Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything from pre-school education to Afrocuban studies to a special school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working with Cuban educational partners on their research topics. According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened outside the educational setting. "I didn't know what to expect, but the people we met were the most gracious I've met. Kind, and gen- erous... in every way," Formo said. "I mean, to experience a culture that has made it clear in so many ways that there are two main priorities, healthcare and education. To feel what it is to walk the streets in a culture where those are the two priorities, and with limited resources, you can't do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody wastes. They know how to make thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'" Lawston also feels that her viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since I've gotten back, I'll tell you that not a day that goes by that I haven't thought about Cuba. One of those most influential trips that I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep telling all my students this, there were no advertisements... There weren't scantily clad women in everything. All billboards were political or educational. It really brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters." Lutjens said she is already planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than an annual one," she said. "Many people who went this year or in past years are interested in returning to continue their research." She does state that undergraduate students cannot attend, though it may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government. That may not always be the case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that Cal State faculty and students, if interested, could study in Cuba." ¡•I LGBTQ Pride C enter S afe s pace a nd fun p lace BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER . to store their food, the study room also has a refrigerator and a microwave.

The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and UCSD where college students are chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending. Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he only had two aims: "To make sure everyone has a great time," and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM." Greene did his best to take home the title for CSUSM but came second to Ryan Neville from SDSU. Greene did have a large fan club cheering him on through the night. The CSUSM crowd had green bracelets representing our university and many were dressed in t-shirts with Greene's face on them. Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf matching m ustaches.

The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

Zien wanted to cook things that other people would also be able to learn quickly and cook themselves. Soon after getting the idea, he made a demo tape and sent it out to five experts in the business. "Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The show first started off as a segment a few minutes long that was played twice a week. Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode. Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three books, and his show has become a national series on Discovery's Health channel.

You can choose to participate in a 10K run, which begins at 7:10 a jn., or a 5K run/walk, which beings at 8:15 a.m. The organizations that will benefit from this race are the San Diego Food Bank, Foodmobile, and Jewish Family Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping anyone who cannot afford food. The event will also collect food that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you can't personally make a donation, there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the event, which may include tasks such as setting up tables with food for the runners and walkers pnee the race is over, or serving them water throughout the run/ walk. The second option is to ask friends or neighbors if they would be willing to donate canned food for the event. If you are interested in participating in the actual race, you need to sign up ahead of time. To find more information, you can visit the site at www. kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ . In Oceanside, Pacific Marine Credit Union will be celebrating their fifth annual O'side Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat! Foundation, and the Virginia Ann Scheunemann Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot has several events, including a five mile run/walk, as well as an open 5K run/walk and a "locals only" 5K run/walk, as well as kids' events. The event has raised over $46,000 in the last three years and continues to honor their commitment to fundraising again this year. Whether you wish to participate or just to check it out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com But what if you find yourself unable to leave campus? Start the week's festivities early. The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) will be hosting a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23, from 2:30. - 3:45 p.m. in Commons 206. The University Village Apartments (UVA) will also be hosting a Thanksgiving lunch. Dishes such as turkey, ham, and rice will be served for all in the UVA lobby. The UVA lobby will also have a "What are you thankful for?'' board. Students can take a post-it note, and write down what they feel they are thankful for and residents can see what others have shared.

It's right here on campus in parking lot B, from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Either way, get creative, whether you are a student from abroad or an American who just can't get home for the break, Thanksgiving can still be a great time of year for college students.

Azusa Pacific placed 6th. By finishing in the top-30 overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status. Leading the way was Cady Villarreal. An Ail-American last season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running 18:18 to place 8th in the field. Second on the team was Kelly Thompson who placed 15th at 18:30. Thompson, a sophomore who led CSUSM to a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has proven time and again that she will come through at big meets, and she did so on Saturday. In 2009, Thompson was the wild card that keyed CSUSM's national championship. In 2010, that honor belongs to Carol Schryver, who ran a fantastic 18:33 to finish 17th in the field. While Schryver was expected to be in the team's top-five runners, for hei* to finish third on the team and in the overall top-20 was a huge boost to Coach Scott's team. Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36. Finally, newcomer Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way from Maryland, Cornwell took 29th in the field, and when she crossed the finish line at 18:47, the team victory was secured. Also competing for the Cougars were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26) and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29). "In professional sports, the hardest thing to do is repeat. The next hardest thing is to be ranked first and win," commented Coach Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot, and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them." CSUSM becomes the first NAIA school to repeat as women's cross-country National Champions since Simon Fraser (B.C.) wonfivestraight from 2007-2007.

The film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP. Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability, but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck and Phoenix take you on.

PHOTO COURTESY OF APPLE.COM (RIGHT) AND GOMONEWS.COM (BOTTOM) HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146 minutes of its entirety. Maybe the reason why it is so engaging is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits, receiving no relief. You also may want to refresh your memory on what happened in the last couple films but once you remember, the movie continues on a straight path, leading up to the film's end that will having you sighing over the eight month wait for the climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D. Without Hogwarts to protect him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), with the help from Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the various bad guys who are hunting him on behalf of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle drama threatens to break the three friends up as they are stranded in the woods, searching for the four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With the film dragging in the middle, it absolutely soars in an animated sequence illustrating the origins of the Deathly Hallows, waking you instantly from the monotony of the film's middle. Also of note is an all too brief dance scene between Harry and Hermione to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O, Children," which is fascinating in its awkwardly sweet placement. The film briefly pulls in some new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the film more artistic credibility, but never uses the actors' full talent (Hurt is only near the end and barely noticed as background). The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) and the Aryan Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are merely onscreen for the sake of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake of their forced appearances. However, there are saving graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the elf makes his return in a chorus of "awwwws" and you can't help but join in. James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps are comedic scene stealers as the twins, Fred and George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes, looking like the illicit lovechild of Nosferatu and a vampire bat with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame. Was it truly necessary to break the final film up into two parts? Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking to be in a real dire hurry, without discovering much of anything to make it worth their, and our, while. However, the real test will be the final film (in which Gary Oldman makes a long-awaited return as Sirius Black). With six previous films and 146 minutes of drawn-out teasing in Part 1, the payoff better be worth it.

Other Native American leaders on our campus include Dr. Joely Proudfit, part of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Dr. Proudfit is also a member of the California Indian Sovereignty Center and The Native American Advisory Council. The student-based American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) is an active student organization based on increasing awareness and acceptance of Native Americans. Dr. Proudfit encourages people to come visit the California Indian Sovereignty Center and AISA to become engaged and involved in Native American culture. Any student may join AISA, whether they are Native American or not. Dr. Proudfit said, "If students would like to get engaged in the Native American community, here on campus, they should enroll in some Native American based courses." She went on to say the courses really brought students closer to thè communities around campus. Typically, in the spring, students get to take field trips to local reservations and speak with community members about tribal life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about the challenges faced by Native Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken. Recently, our campus recognized National Native American Heritage Month by showcasing the Native American film, "Older than America." The presentation drew a full house and some audience members had to sit on the floor. The film was the first to be entirely directed and produced by a female Native American named Georgina Lightning.

In the case of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the language barrier between Swedish and English becomes a problem if the original were to make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with American audiences, so releasing them here becomes less desirable. Remakes are also made on the small screen, with shows like "Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have their differences from the original material; however, they are still based on the same premise. As remade television shows are given the green light, Hollywood chooses not to support original content. Though some remakes are successful, for example "The Office," most seem to fall short of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers this, audiences can expect to see more recycled movies and shows.
