At 8:30 a.m. last Thursday, 33 students from Universidad Autonoma de Baja California arrived on a bus from Tijuana. Enthusiastic CSUSM students welcomed the visiting students and led them to selected classes to attend. After attending two classes, UABC students gathered with CSUSM students for lunch outside of the library on the secondfloorpatio. On the patio, students talked with each other over roast beef, ham, and turkey sandwiches, cookies, potato chips and Arizona iced tea. President Karen Haynes welcomed UABC students in Spanish and then proceeded in English, explaining the importance of the connection between our two universities. Haynes also described the importance of reaching across borders as a way to understand the multicultural diversity of Southern California and Baja VOL.

The Quilt is made up of more than 40,000 panels, each made in commemoration for people with AIDS. On November 27, a panel of the quilt will arrive in the fifth floor of the Kellogg Library. Professor Gilbert Valadez is leading the organization of this event Five years ago, Valadez was diagnosed with AIDS, and he believes that the pandemic deserves more attention. His growing awareness led him to organize the first World Aids Day observation at CSUSM. In an interview with Robert Erichsen, a staff member for thé College of Education, Professor Valadez said, "This observance then is helping me frame my own illness in a social way, By that, I mean that I felt that one of the ways that I could help myself is to help See AIDS QUILT, page 2 "DataDot DNA" technology capable of preventing theft BY KELLY CORJRJGAN Pride Staff Writer It's happened in the past.

In my time on this campus I have met some very knowledgeable people when it comes to sports. As much as I may think I know, these guys have taught me something new at one point or another. You may remember some of these names if you read "Jock Talk" on a regular basis, but I finally found a way to introduce you to some of the other people on this campus who are involved in the sports world. -Josh Sandoval Mavericks over Suns (Defense plus Dirk equals Domination) Nets over Bulls (Kidd, Carter, Jefferson plus great draft) Nets over Mavericks (Nets make up-tempo popular again) Rockets (Yao I McGrady experiment still doesn't work) Hornets (Finish above.500 and make playoffs) Kobe Bryant (Lakers) (Should've got it last season) Lawrence Frank (Nets) (Title sinks this award) Adam Morrison (Bobcats) (Plenty of minutes in Charlotte) Suns over Clippers (Stoudemire gets them over hump) Pistons over Bulls (Team chemistry pays off) Suns over Pistons (Suns outshine Pistons) Heat (Complacent Shaq wont hold up) Rockets (Two words: Bonzi Wells) Tracy McGrady (Rockets) (Bounces "back" from injuries) Scott Skiles (Bulls) (They'll win 55 plus) R andy F oye (Timberwolves) (Dwayne W adeesque player) S uns over R ockets (Stoudemire's B ack!)

Fernando Brown Fernando Brown's name.is reo&gmzable from the sports articles that appear in this paper. Before Fernando joined the newspaper I could count on one hand the number of articles written about CSUSM athletics. Paul Baimbridge Paul Baimbridge is a name you might recognize from the article I wrote about the Padres' ninth inning collapse against the Dodgers. You will get to know his name even more next semester, since he will be the baseball and Softball beat writer next semester. Mike Millburn Mike Millburn is someone you may know if you listen to "XX Sports Radio" on 1090AM or watch "The Prep Pigskin Report" on KUSI. He is the guy on the radio that the broadcasters refer to as "Head", because of the big melon in between his shoulders. He works as a board operator and producer for those two companies. Kyle Trembley Kyle Trembley is a well of information regarding campus athletics. He is the guy who makes Fernando and I look smart in articles about campus sports, because if we have a question we go to Kyle. Along with being the Sports Information Director for CSUSM, you may have seen his sports briefs in the paper. �Halloween around the world BY SABRINA BAGLEY Pride Staff Writer spirits of one's ancestors return to visit their mortal relatives.

The Ching Ming observance had its beginnings as the original religion in China. Ancestor worship is the only native religion to China. All others* including Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, were imported from outside of China. Confucianism and Taoism originated in China but are philosophies rather than religions. This remnant of ancestor worship is celebrated with the maintenance of tombs the offering of food and other essentials, and displays of respect. Sometimes, a family will set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. Walpurgis Night, celebrated in Germany, Sweden, and the Czech Republic, is a night of warding off witches. In Germany, whips are cracked and horns are blared. In Sweden, bonfifes are added to the noise. In the Czech Republic, people spread grass or sand on the doorstep in the belief that witches can not enter a house before counting the blades of grass or grains of sand. Celebrated on April 30, this day is an old pagan festival, which borrows its name from Saint Walburga. The most common association of Halloween is with Pagan celebrations. According to Pagan expert, Eva Snyder, "Halloween Photo by David Bauer / The Pride is magical. It is the time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead is thinnest, permitting contact between the two worlds," she says. "The lines between past, present and future are also blurred, allowing the impossible to happen." These pagan celebrations are often misconstrued and falsely have negative and dangerous connotations. American celebrations of Halloween have little to do with ancestor worship. Rather, costumes and candy abound, and trick-or-treating is enjoyed by children. Jack-o-lanterns, also a Halloween staple, have quite the interesting history. The Jack-olantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

From asking the students it seems to be a pirate or a ninja. A representative from CC & CO Costume Shop, a shop that has been in business for the past 21 years in Temecula, says that the most popular costumes this year are pirates for couples; nurses and cops for females, and that most guys were dressing as part of a couple, or just came i n, to get a mask. If this is true, then what does it say about us? I asked some students how they feel about people flaunting their sex appeal on Halloween with racy outfits for girls and pimp costumes for the guys; and there were two common answers. One was that it's an excuse to dress in ways one normally wouldn't in hopes of attracting attention from other people. The other idea was that it's just Halloween, and costume choices are not taken seriously by people. Halloween is meant to be a fun time with or without parties; so are we being too analytical? or are people really going overboard with sex appeal for the holiday? Either way, it's a time to dress up as something one isn't and fool others around you. It's a time to enjoy the weekend or the night and have no worries but the cavities one might wake up with the morning after. Website of the week: homestarrunner.com BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD Pride Staff Writer Homestarrunner.com was once a humble site made by two brothers for the entertainment of the un-entertained. Each week there would be one or more new cartoons on the site. It didn't have much fame five or so years ago, but the true fans knew what it was and know what it is today. Brothers Matt and Mike Chaps created the website and all of its animations and games, with Matt in charge of the art and programming and Mike performing all of the voices of the characters (except for the voice of the site's one female, which is performed by his Wife Melissa Palmer). The finances of running the Homestar Runner website and its webbased store had been handled by their father, Don, until he passed away earlier this year. Today the site is booming with new characters and new things to do. For all the original fans that know of this site, all the old cartoons and shorts and such can all be found in the museum section. There are cartoons featuring the slow witted, lisping, Homestar Runner—the website's main character. Other characters also recur in cartoons on the site such as the ridiculously pompous, luchador-mask-wearing, Strong- bad and his tiny yellow accomplice, The Cheat, who Strongbad describes at one point as looking "like some kind of cheese... or anvil," and who only communicates through mumbles and squeaks. The cartoons are centered on the characters' adventures and interactions. There are also games, and videos starring puppet versions of the characters and other features as well. One popular feature is that viewers can send emails to be answered by the character Strongbad in a cartoon, which usually consists of several minutes of Strongbad humorously criticizing everything about the email and its a plush The Cheat that squeaks author.

Residing in whaf have inevitably become overdeveloped condominiums and commercialized residences, what is now San Elijo Hills, was once a spiritual and even haunted area dubbed "Questhaven." No doubt many San Diego residents have unknowingly driven through Questhaven as it's a surefire shortcut to Escondido that spits travelers out from Rancho Santa Fe Road to Auto Parkway in less than four minutes.

Rumored to once be inhabited by Gypsies and their social kin at the turn of the 19th century and welp into to the 20th century, legend has it that when other natives of the land and cjdzens of local communities came in and drove off the Gypsies, slaughter- ing those who stood in their way, the Gypsies cursed the land of Elfin Forest. Perhaps this curse was the impetus f or many of the . urban legends that have accumulated throughout the years. Coincidentally, there are also accounts of Northern Diegueno Indians inhabiting the land more than 9,Q00 years, using it as a sacred space for burials and-peace offerings.

Most of which describe scenes of nooses hanging from burned trees, broken bones and skulls crushed into the mulch and brush, unearthly cackles and noises flying around in the night air—the rumors have even fabled that when said filmmakers go back to review their footage that there is just black static that fills the screen and curdling screams that sound off in the distance. Furthermore, what would Questhaven be if there weren't spinetingling urban myths attached to fend off the faint of heart? When researching Questhaven, there are a few prevalent myths, as well as others that rise to the top. The first tells a tale of a ten-foot white owl that roams the midnight and * moon-laden sky above the spooky trees. The make informed, he confident cholci 7 60 .744.13 ghostly owl sneaks .about preying on naive young people who enter the forest. If the visitors are in their ear, the owl lands atop of the car and possesses several ways of murdering the vehicle's passengers. If the visitors are on foot, it swoops down to capture them and sacrifices them. There are other stories about the owl; however, many do hot speak of the owl iri fear of repercussion. The second myth tells of a witch that haunts Elfin Forest. Stories of the witch solicit extreme caution should one choose to enter the forest, for hers is the deadliest and scariest of stories. The witch has been in the forest since the persecution of the Gypsies. She rides the roads of the forest on a ghost black stallion. With a black cloak the covers her face and body, the night-riding ghost horse and witch have omnipotent vision and senses and can feel when a stranger or intruder has entered the forest. It is said that once one enters the forest and Questhaven, that then the witch marks that person, leaving no physical indication, but more of a spiritual mark on that person so that if that person were to ever enter the forest again, that they would then be killed instantly by the witch. Those who have experienced this tell tales of hearing no hoof prints or galloping stallion, no; that the witch and her mountfloatalong in the shadows. Never in clear sight, her victims will never really know what they see when .they, witness her. It is also rumored that by chance if victims do see her eyes, as they pierce a ray of green light, that they are immediately killed. Photos by Amanda Andreen / The Pride There are also stories of drivers killing themselves because the witch follows their vehicle in the trailing shadows, invoking complete insanity, and sometimes paralysis, then causing the driver to steer their car into an oncoming tre% ledge, or cliff, ©ther tales of haunted spirits ^nd; paranormal activity attSchedloihisforea * rumor 6f tree;? that ble|d, a ghost lady dressed in^whiTi-that follows hikers throughout the trails, native American bodies hanging from trees, shadow people that hide in the shrubbery, and other weird apparitions that possess the speculated Native American burial grounds. Upon further investigation, it has been found that there is a religious retreat center, called the "Questhaven Retreat, Church of the Holy Quest," that sits on 640 acres of wilderness. Some speculate that it is this retreat center, which was erected in the early 1940s that is mistaken for the insane asylum and the cult house. However, there are no official records that haves been found linking that theory, or linking the legends to the retreat center. As there is no record of any insane asylum existing in Elfin Forest, Harmony Grove, or Questhaven, rumors apparently hold more weight in the chance of experiencing supernatural activity. For now, Questhaven truly remains a mystery, as the stories and sensations that haunt it continue to be aggravated by the growing population of inhabitants. One thing remains certain though, no one will ever really know what lies beneath Questhaven or lurks in the shadows in Elfin Forest. MI^nädS 277 S.

Boxing matches have had the "rigged" cloud looming over their "honest" heads for many years. The ghost punches, the throwing of a fight so we can have De La Hoya vs. Mosley 2.1 think the fans of professional boxing are tired of fixed fights or two guys dancing around each other because both of them are afraid to throw a punch. The fighters of professional boxing are afraid to hurt the product: their face. Therefore, they dodge a few punches so their pretty face won't get hurt, or they throw a few jabs, sit back, and let the time run o ut The fighters of the UFC risk their bodies and faces to earn the respect of the fans.

Boxing is all grown up now; it's an old man on his death bed. Only a cure of a Heavyweight Champion or a big rivalry will save the old man of boxing.

The event took place on Thursday, October 26, in the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. Approximately 70 people attended the reading according to Mark Wallace, an assistant professor of Literature and Writing Studies here at CSUSM. Dinh has traveled all over the globe, and the knowledge of other cultures appears in his writing style. He has written two collections of stories, three books of poems, and a series of anthologies. He is currently working on a novel. Dinh chose to read from "Borderless Bodies," "American Tatts," and "Blood and Soap." "Mark managed to place an article about the reading in the Union-Tribune. I knew, or at least hoped, that ordinary people would be coming to the reading, not just students. I decided to read poems and stories that ordinary people could relate to. I'm not an academic person but a blue collar, mostly self-taught guy who writes poems," said Dinh. "Before my recent breaks, I was a regular working class dude. I spent 15 years as Drink of the Week a housepainter, and 3 years as a house and office cleaner," said Dinh. Dinh was asked to visit CSUSM because "he's one of the best poets andfictionwriters currently writing in this country," said Wallace. The readings generated much laughter amongst the guests who included CSUSM students and members of the community. I enjoyed all of Dinh's readings. I loved his witty humor and play on words. Despite the immense laughter, Dinh's readings sent quivers to my heart and waves to my brain. My favorite parts were "nude pictures of you sold back to you at a discount" and "working jobs that were beneath him knowing that it was punishment for leaving his family behind and the chaos that awaited him upon return." The majority of Dinh's readings were short prose poems. He also read multiple one-sentence stories. I never imagined so much content could be contained between the first capital letter of a sentence and the ending period. "[My favorite part was] his sense of humor. I didn't expect to laugh so much. I also loved his paradoxical love poems and the one sentence stories," said Lea Vergara, a Literature and Writing Studies major.

Within recent years however, in San Diego County particularly, red ales have become increasingly popular and available. Last week we tried AleSmith's Evil Dead Red; this week we'll look at local red ale: Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red. Brewed and served at all three of Pizza Port's breweries, this delicious microbrew is also available in bottle and as a draft in some local bars. To understand what makes red ales different and unique first requires a little brewing background. After a beer has been initially brewed, it enters into a stage of fermentation. At this point, the brewer adds (or "pitches" as it's called) yeast to the brew. This yeast converts sugars present in the brew into juicy cocktail, however, I sat up and took notice. I confess to being enchanted by its name, the source of so many legends.

The various types of yeast used, and the temperature it is done at, determine whether the beer will eventually become an ale or a lager. When brewers first began making beer they could only create ale. This is because ales are brewed in warm temperatures with top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) over a short period of time. As refrigeration was introduced and brewers learned to work with and manipulate yeast, lagers, which are brewed for longer periods of time in colder temperatures with bottom-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum), became the most popular beers. Red beers were created after the legalization of home brewing in 1976. Home brewers, trying new and innovative techniques, discovered that by using certain malts in the mash, they could create a beer with unique red, burgundy and amber hues. These beers, which usually contained car- amel or roasted malts, have unique colors and flavors. These brews can be used to create both ales and lagers. Due to the popularity of red beers, some breweries have begun adding red dye to some beers and claiming that they are red beers. This practice detracts from the unique taste and innovative style of real red beers, giving them a bad name. Pizza Port's Shark Bite Red, on the other hand, is an excellent example of an excellent red beer. The beer pours a burgundy red with a thin,fizzy,white head/The head generally fades fairly quickly leaving little sheets of lacing on the sides of the glass. As it pours you can also begin to smell the 9.2% alcohol by volume Content in the beer's aroma. Brewed with Centennial and Cascade hops, it smells full and hoppy, but fully balanced with lots of rich malts and a hint of citrus. It's not particularly high in carbonation, but it also doesn't have an overly flat feel tp it. This beer has a very sweet and toasty malt taste. Like most San Diego ales however, it is also deliriously hoppy with a noticeable alcohol bite. Shark Attack Red is a very fullbodied beer with a bold mouth feel. Its aftertaste is nutty, spicy and hoppy. With such strong flavors* and high alcohol content, however, it is definitely a red beer best enjoyed one or two at most in a session. �Tuesday, October 31,2006 il iX/ J^ THE PRIDE CD Review: Keep your "Eyes Open" for Snow Patro BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer ^ ^¡f* ^ It's rare when a band is able to grab a hold of your heart—onto the fragile strings of your emotional core— and rim away with it. Snow Patrol does no less, in fact, much more than that. From Ireland, Snow Patrol isn't new to the scene. With their invigorating attitude, once again they open their mouths, and aptitude -for musical catharsis and dare listeners to become vulnerable. "Eyes Open," the latest fulllength to travel across the seas from the Celtic homeland, is as intimate as it is rock. Probably the best cut off the new record is "Chasing Cars." With its deep message, exquisite instrumentation, and brutal yet beautiful lyrics, "Chasing Cars" hushes my soul to ease, begging me to close my eyes and just let go. An honest and introspective love song, the breathtaking insight poured into the song offers the listener a ballad that embraces the essence of drama. Photos courtesy of www.snowpatrol.com Having spent the past two years on the road, traveling the globe amidst the splash of "Run," their prior anthem off the 2004 release "Final Straw," Snow Patrol spent much of 2005 recording "Eyes Open" along the Irish coastline. In a studio that allowed the members of Snow Patrol to awaken to waves crashing at the foot of the cliffs below them, Snow Patrol slowly breathed life into "Eyes Open," capturing the sensory effects of living on the edge of a cliff. Theater Review: BY BRANDI BLAHNIK Pride Staff Writer Admittedly, I found the disclaimer for the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Department's new production, "Wonder of the World," intriguing. A play at CSUSM with mature language and adult themes? Let me assure you it is not a caution, but a promise. David Lindsay-Abaire's sometimes odd, sometimes touching writing propels this work to its climax with laughs to spare. This two-hour play directed by Katie Rodda is a delight and, with plenty of genuine, my-tummyhurts laughs along the way, will leave you wondering where the time went. The story begins with the captivating scene of a woman packing. Cass, played by Jessica Swan, is leaving her life behind for a chance at a more exciting one. When her ( A|r^|fcissi|iger) |feoi|es marriage troubles surface and we^re ^brtoelled ita | oy^\y|(|ass thrfrugh^hdr jotlrney. Along her voyage, Cass meets—scratch that—barges her "Make This Go On Forever" is my next favorite track. The tempo of "Make This Go On Forever" paces and then drops off with a lone piano pounding away in the background, creating a feeling of a grandeur, sounding like the beginning of what could build into a one-song record. Gary Lightbody, vocalist and song-crafter for the five-piece band, empties so much grief into this song through his voice. lt is truly moving. "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" projects a slight Sigur Ros feeling within the vocals and ambient textures, but the building of the duet between Lightbody and Martha Wainwright is classic Snow Patrol: soft and piercing. . I am also very partial to the album's closer, "The Finish Line." Wrapping up the ten tracks with echoing Celtic vocals lingering above the breathy pauses, the vocals and song construction sound much more natural for Lightbody than some of the other tracks do, showcasing a more culturally native side of Snow Patrol that isn't as prevalent in other releases. A song that feels patriotic in the sense that it's patriotic to Snow Patrol, "The Finish Line" contains crisp lyrics and layers upon layers of textured sound effects. A fitting end to a solid effort put forth by Snow Patrol, the album as a whole, "Eyes Open," will surely open your eyes to both a new and inspiring side of Snow Patrol, as well as the old and soothing side of Snow Patrol that many have grown to admire. Wonder of the World way into the lives of strangers she comes across. She meets fellowtraveler, alcoholic, and sidekick, Lois (Bridget Henwood), curious couple Glen (Omar Yanez) and Karla (Celeste Dawn Beattie), the charming Captain Mike (Patrick Wenk-Wolff); and the strange, oddly-familiar marriage therapist, Janie (Arielle Rosenbaum). This funny, chaotic tale is driven by strong performances. Jessica Swan is wonderful in her naïve and alarmingly forward role as Cass. Whether its exclaiming to sidekick Lois, "Let's be lesbians!" or informing thè captain of her boat tour that she would like to have sex with him that evening, Swan's straightforward delivery lends credibility to Cass and punch to the laughs. Half the fun, though, is watching other characters react to Ker. Henwood, Kissinger, and Wenk-Wolff also provide stand-out performances as the characters thai drive Cass to Photo by Brandi Blahnik / The Pride action and question her "weird" qualities. When we finally find the many characters of "Wonder of the World'* together in a room, the result is a dynamic explosion of personalities which can only be managed with, that's right, an episode of "The Newlyweds" game show. Without saying too much, rest assured this play will force you to look a t Barbie heads in a disturbingly new way. Writer Ljndsay-Abaire weaves the stories of his characters together, leaving us to ponder the role of fate in our lives. Each character touches the life of the next without seeming to know it. It's unclear whether the "wonder" he speaks of is as tangible as Niagra Falls, or rather an idea about coincidences and their effects on our lives. Though there are plenty of laughs, the subtext of the play asks the more serious question of how we make decisions or, let then* be dictated for l^^ll f / * "Woi^ei^oMie W6rld" tfecSledly receives 5 paws and is well wortlf the $5 student ticket price.

While the vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are still pushing for legislation that addresses the needs of students in the postsecondary public school system and are starting to receive some success in return. Governor Schwarzenegger recently signed AB 262 and AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial burdens of college for students across the state. AB 262, commissioned by Democratic Assemblyman, Joe Coto, looks to dispel credit card companies from targeting college students on campus with gifts and other luring tactics. Also called The College Student Credit Protection Act, AB 262 advises university executives to revise regulations on credit companies on campus. Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The is the most troublesome problem governor went on in his veto mesfor students to control.

"As the former student body AB 1548 calls for improve- president of UC Irvine, I know ments among publishers, distrib- firsthand that high textbook prices are a huge issue for college students." Assemblyman Solorio said in an Oct. 13 press release. According to the General Accounting Office 2005 report, textbook prices increased 186 percent between the years 1986 and 2004; nearly triple the rate of inflation during that same time period. AB 1548 does not decrease textbook prices but it does offer students more opportunity to make better textbook purchasing decisions. The bill also holds those who select textbooks accountable for taking students best interests into consideration during the process. "AB 1548 provides a comprehensive approach to controlling college textbook prices by placing additional disclosure requirements on all parties involved in creating the high prices. That's why the bill was supported by the California State Student Association, the California Teacher's Association, the Association of American Publishers and the California Postsecondary Education Commission," said Assemblyman Solorio. Students will soon be able to see how these bills affect life on campus and if they set a precedent to pass similar bills in the future.

Additionally, no respect holds greater significance than the appreciation of a student to their teacher. British author Gladys Bronwyn Stern once said, "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone." The President's Awards are the best opportunity students have each year to honor faculty members in a big way. In lieu of the upcoming Thanksgiving season, it is important to not only be thankful for faculty members that enable student success but also to make that gratitude a public affair. To vote for The President's Award for Innovation in Teaching, e-mail the Office of President Karen Haynes via Carol Bonomo at cbonomo@csusm. edu. The deadline for the Innovation in Teaching Award is Friday, Nov. 9.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center organized and promoted the event in conjunction with conservative student organizations across the United States. The intent of Islamo-Fascism Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the American student population of what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big Lies." These lies, according to The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat." The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the protest is to "rally American students to defend their country." 200 universities and colleges across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM initially appeared on the list of participating campuses but was later removed. When asked why the Terrorism Awareness Project removed Cal State San Marcos, among other schools, from the list, a representative from the group declined to comment on the matter. The events included keynote speakers, panels on oppression of women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What the West Needs to Know and the ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11, a petition encouraging students to claim their allegiance, and a memorial service for the victims of terrorist attacks. There will also be a petition "denouncing Islamo-Fascist violence against women, gays, Christians, Jews and non-religious people." In response to the event the Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to do the following: "demonstrate Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond, contact campus administration, talk to other student groups, report hate crimes and incidents." They also provided workshops for students under the banner, "Truth Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia." The MPAC pamphlet provided to help Islamic students navigate through the demonstrations states, "programs such as Islamo-Facism Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to isolate and divide communities, thereby dislodging their place as contributing members of society."

(6) 7057 70 5- 6 4 �Chargers please San Diego in emotional 35-10 victory CSUSM women's soccer headed to playoffs BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer In a game that was almost not played in San Diego, the Chargers took over Qualcomm and boosted the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it was for only four hours. As San Diego County was being ravaged by the w ildfires, Qualcomm Stadium was being used to facilitate over 10,000 evacuees. A fter some 45 Chargers employees, including around 24 players were displaced f rom their homes Monday, the Chargers were forced to board a plane to Arizona to cary on with the week's practice schedule. When the Los Angeles L akers a nnounced the cancellation on Tuesday of t heir a nnual p reseason game in San Diego t hat was scheduled f or Thursday, the idea of the C hargers r eturning home seemed d oubtful. The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their Monday night game against the Dolphins was moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona due, ironically enough, to Qualcomm being used as an evacuation center for the Cedar Fire. Arizona and Los Angeles were speculated for the relocation of the The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team is headed to its first ever playoff appearance Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the #3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday. The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm. This is only the second season of women's soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors, the playoff berth shows plenty of potential. In a press release from the university, coach Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting." The Cougars will look to capitalize on the skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete of the month. This match-up may look familiar to the Cougars, who faced Concordia on September 8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1. This time the Cougars will be well rested due to the cancelation of their final regular season game, against La Sierra University on Sunday. The Cougars finished the season with a 6 -6-4 record, coming down the stretch with two tough ties at Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. game, as well as Oakland, Seattle, and Fresno. With the n umbers of e vacuees s teadily d ropping as the week p rogressed, the f ocus soon s hifted on d istinct p ossibility of the game a ctually b eing played at Q ualcomm. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders announced late Thursday that the stadium would be ready and capable to host the game, stating "The City will be able to provide s ufficient public safety personnel to manage a professional football game without impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery e fforts." The team returned to San Diego Friday morning allowing time for players and staff to return to their homes-all of which still standing. Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay focussed for their match-up with the Houston Texans en route to their third consecutive victory; 35-10. The Chargers got the p arty started with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown reception. Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it to the house, pushing the Chargers lead to 14-0. Houston got on the board early in the second quarter with a Kris Brown 40-yard field goal. Antonio Gates made the highlights again with a 31 yard touchdown reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned for a 70 yard touchdown. Philip Rivers got the newly acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark in the second quarter. The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into h alftime, and needed nothing more f rom the o ffense to secure the victory. The Chargers won by a score of 35-10, in a game that brought out the best of the Chargers in the midst of a crisis throughout the county. "It was kind of like a win for the San Diego Chargers, but at the same time it was a win for San Diego itself," said Gates a fter the game. The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a tie for f irst place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last week was no different as Sudanese native Benjamin Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17, bringing with him an unrivaled story of survival and triumph of the human will. From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in his 14-year exodus from his war torn home of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for "They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a book he co-authored with cousins Benson and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy A. Bernstein. The book documented their accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys of Sudan." With the help of the International Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled across the United States. En route to San Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to Canada due to the attacks of September 11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego two weeks later. Of the few things Benjamin brought with him from Africa, his unquestionable passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels. Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent two days on campus, kept busy by a dense itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience of students, faculty, staff, and community members. In one such engagement, Benjamin took the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States. One student asked Benjamin how he felt in his first encounter with a lion, to which Benjamin responded, "Living with the lion is not scary for us...because we live in the jungle." Another student asked Benjamin if he misses anything from his life in Africa. "Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends." Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories. In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some men in the village had many wives, are you bummed out that in America you can only have one?" Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's mother had 13 children of which only himself and his brother survived the civil war in Sudan. Prior to becoming a full time speaker, Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and other organizations to share his story and insight with others. V J — T u e s d a y , October 30, 2007 In today's technology The iPod Touch BY ELBERT ESGUERRA Pride Staff Writer If you thought Apple had finally hit the ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again. The iPod Touch has just been released on the market and is being hailed as iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively starting at $299. So then the question people should ask themselves is "why should I get my hands on this neat little device?" It's justifying to know Apple is getting all the praise it deserves, especially for all the Apple owners. On that same token, is there anyone that can stop them at this point? The lingering m m m m m mm m mmmmmamm question remains whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a must have. How does it compare to the iPhone that is already been on the market for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a Cadillac when you're actually driving a Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released before the iPhone, it would have been the device that launches Apple into the upper stratosphere of technical mastery. Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the iPod touch: Get your web applications. From checking Facebook to creating personal calendars to checking personal email, Apple has created a link enabling users to download vital web applications. It is a good idea since it integrates well with the already user-friendly touch screen browser. And speaking of web browsers... Try to figure out Safari. Sure the melius on the device move fiuidly, but that doesn't mean people will figure out the web browser in a day. Safari is touted by Apple as a great tool to use to check out the web, but it is unable to support Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to check out clips off of YouTube wherever you go. Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy protection to prevent those inevitable h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out gelaskins.com for some stylish skins that are both artsy and fun. Skins are available for older models too. Pause a song or adjust the volume while locked. This m m m^ m m m m iS probably going m m am m m m to be looked at as a drawback to the more traditional iPod owners who are accustomed to a click wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen. Don't like the icons? Well change them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems to look so good. The Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More buttons can be customized to look anyway you like. Just what Grandpa wanted. The design means more to younger folks than to the tech-impaired. With intentions of bridging the technological gap, the user friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals, and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock and roll icons.

Click on this B ackpackit.com m akes it easy t o organize class n otes, study g roufp^nd m ore BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer For students who take lecture notes on laptops, the standard word processor may provide adequate capabilities for simply maintaining its namesake: word processing. While there are numerous web-based solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents, such as Google Docs, but none stand out more than Backpack. Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the web. The note taking functionality of Backpack is merely an attribute to the host of features offered in the Backpack Suite. Backpack takes an innovative approach to organization, utilizing the basic design principles of a standard personal website, while offering users effortless data entry under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard. After registration, users are prompted to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class, this is the most efficient method for applying the service to a scholastic setting, though creating pages by topic may also be efficient depending on the user's needs. After naming the page, users can enter a brief summary that can include anything from teacher contacts, to the main points of the course. Backpack offers a great to-do list fea- ture that allows users to create tasks, and check them off wheç complete. The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective.

Using a simple upload form, users can add files to the page as well. Files could include the course syllabus, or other course content documents. Backpack's reminder feature is a small and sometimes unnoticed element that allows users to create email reminders for events that range from "later today" to "next year." The Reminder functionality also strikes a chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through Apple's iCal software. Users can also share pages with other users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone. Backpack is an extremely diverse service, offering thousands of other uses, including: planning an event, listing items for sale, organizing and preparing for a meeting, and planning a trip. Backpack offers seemingly endless opportunities for users to organize ^ their lives with technology.

Powered by unusually fires.

The Horno/Ammo Fire, the Wilcox Fire, the Cajon Fire, the McCoy Fire, and the Coronado Hills Fire. As of Oct. 29 Cal Fire reports all but the Witch, Harris, and Poomacha fires are 100% contained. Cal State San Marcos and nearby residents felt the heat in a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many students living near campus awoke early Monday morning to the sight offlamesand the sound of sirens on South Twin Oaks Valley Road. Only claiming 300 acres, fire fighters quickly snuffed out the Coronado Hills fire by late Monday afternoon, lifting mandatory evacuations for residences near CSUSM and San Elijo Hills. The proximity of the fire coupled with extremely poor air quality forced CSUSM to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed on Monday, Oct. 29. The latest figures place the number of people in Southern California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at 950,000. Residents of San Diego County account for roughly 640,000 of those the fire displaced. Devastation of the scale caused by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina, the last major disaster to draw national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California over the past week. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Kolender said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas exceeded the number of victims evacuated from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Early on Sheriff Kolender predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has ever seen-worse than the Cedar Fire," prophetic words that would resound through much of the week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in San Diego County exceeds that of the Cedar Fire remains to be seen.

She had been woken up by one of her roommates who told her to look outside—she could not believe her eyes. What she saw foreshadowed the long week ahead for many San Diego residents who had to evacuate their homes—many to never see them again—due to the many fires that threatened and took much of San Diego County. "The first thing I saw was a guy outside my roommate's window," said Zambrano. "He kept yell- ing, 'Don't worry about it, just get out.' One of my roommates thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon as we stepped outside we saw all the cars trying to leave" Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The Apartment community holds more than 550 apartments with more students than families or elderly living there, said Thomas Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence. "[Between] late Sunday and early Monday we witnessed a fire on the hillside in back of the complex," said Peterson. "It was not a major threat, but just to be on the safe side we started to tell people." Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the majority of people who decided to evacuate left Monday around 2 a.m., although some stayed until Wednesday, and some decided to stay. The apartment community counts on 24-hour security, which was responsible for knocking on doors and informing people, as well as monitoring how close the fires got, he said. Zambrano and her roommates, like many residents there,fledthe apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area. "I had no idea what was going on," she said. "Everyone was honking their horns because I guess there was no time to call everyone because there are so many apartments. In that moment I just grabbed whatever I could. I took shoes and stuff for work, as well as my purse which at that time had my credit cards and birth certificate." She said she started trying to exit the gate community but was afraid they were not going to be able to get out. Once out and on the road she saw the fires burning on Coronado Hill up closer. "I saw the fires from my car, where you could see a view of the campus and the apartments," she said. "It looked like lava coming down." While Peterson stressed the traffic trying to leave was not chaotic— the complex has the front exit as well as an emergency exit through the back—the worst of the rush was early Monday morning. He said the fire was put out quite rapidly, and by the end of the week people began returning to their homes. But not everyone was so fortunate.

He was the first to tell me of the Witch / 78 fire that was at that time burning in between Santa Ysabel. I decided to leave school and go back to my house on the western edge of the Ramona city limit. Driving to the Pomerado Road exit on the 1-15, I was met with a wall of thick smoke blowing westward. Reaching my house, I quickly went to work clearing additional brush and other vegetation around our house. After we did as much as we could do, I returned to school after telling my dad to call me if I needed to come back home. After reaching school around 7:30 p.m. and working about 30 or 40 minutes, I received another call from my dad, calling me back home. As I drove south along the 1-15 by the North County Fair mall, I could see the flames off in the east. By the t ime! got home, my mom was already gathering photo albums and other irreplaceable items. I went through my room, gathering only three days worth of clothes, pictures, childhood mementos and not much else. By 11:00 p.m. we left our house in three vehicles. My dad stayed behind with our last vehicle, despite our attempts to convince him to leave. We took Highland Valley Road going west towards Escondido / Rancho Bernardo. With traffic, it took about 20 minutes to get to Pomerado Road when normally it takes only 10 minutes. Just before Pomerado Road, we encountered an overturned motor-home, blocking part of the road. We went to my brother's fiancée's house in Poway off of Espola Road. We were there only minutes before the power temporarily shut off. Taking into account the smoke, extreme wind Church's Influence on Sports The Good, the Bad and the Worse BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer After a week of sitting on my butt watching Fire Storm 2007 and working everyday at Island's caring to those looking for a brief escape. It is time to talk about the good the bad and the worse in sports this week. . First we will talk about the good. The number one story around the United States this week was the fires in California. But with hundreds of thousands being forced to evacuate their homes and businesses, San Diego residents were able to find shelter at Qualcomm Stadium. Now with thefiresstill pushing some residents to remain evacuated and others losing everything, San Diego is being forced to move on once again. And the first step to moving forward was the decision by mayor Jerry Sanders to allow the Chargers to play their home game in San Diego. Now San Diego will be showing to the world how strong of a community we are as the Chargers will be one of the many healing processes for the commu- nity as a whole. While all this was going on here at home, the World Series was underway and it was bad. Game one was a blow out. A 13-1 victory for the Boston Red Sox was the last thing that I wanted to watch. The Red Sox just proved to that Red Sox Nation that they are the real thing, which is really bad as they can now rule the league as they dominated teams all season long and have done so again this postseason. Now the Red Sox are making their stand and will more than likely win their second title of this century, which will be one more than the Yankees who last won a championship in 2000. But with the tides turning in favor of the Red Sox, it is only a matter of time before the Yankees go and buy young talent instead of the washed up team they are putting on the field now. The first step is resigning A-Rod for $40 million a year as he is going to be keep the price of YES network in near a billion instead of half that without him. Finally there is the ugly. And there is nothing uglier than Kobe Bryant and his "trade demand". Here is the problem with this situation. Kobe Bryant is desperate to leave LA after he requested that the Lakers "make a move or trade me" remarks at the beginning of the summer. Now Kobe isfindinghimself in a tough situation as he will need to make a decision. He wants to leave the second biggest basketball market or will he do the right thing and stay with the Lakers and play out his contract and when the time comes he can do what A-Rod is doing and opt out of his contract for more money. But for the time being, Kobe needs Jerry Buss the same way Buss needs Kobe. But with the Lakers developing young players instead of getting key marquee players to support Kobe, it is no wonder why Kobe wants out of the Lakers organization. He wants to win. Comments or questions can be emailed to me at churc009@ csusm.edu or pride@csusm. edu. and possible power failure, we decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa Fe Road. I stayed up for another two hours listening the the news on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking him to leave our house. Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin Oaks Valley Road. Driving north on Rancho Santa Fe Road, I caught sight of the flames just after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the night, I checked up on the fire several times, heard that my dad got out safely and slept about two or three hours. In the morning, we moved from San Marcos to Lemon grove. Later the day we heard that our house was gone by word of our neighbor who stayed in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete bunker he had previously built. Currently we are still staying in Lemon Grove. Some advice that has already been said: If you are in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too late.

ISSH �war BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Gone are the days of going to the store to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before someone realized you could put them in the mail. Now, instead of having to go to the store for movies, through the services offered by different providers, you can get DVD's right in your mail. I had both of the most popular services, Netflix and in the market and has a share of Netflix users, are greatforseveral reasons. In terms of speed, while Blockbuster ships Blockbuster Online. Having switched back andforthtwice so movies fotrfy last, Netflix is faster on far, I know all about this oligopoly com- delivery. Also a plus for Netflix is their extensive selection. Many movies I have petition. In the beginning, there was Netflix. The only been able to get through Netflix company with the red envelope pioneered either because they are extremely rare the system, being the first to offer DVD's or Blockbuster does not have enough in in the mail. Their system of requesting stock. That being said, Blockbuster has films online and getting them in your its benefits as well. mailbox was revolutionary. The major is the option to return mailed Then came Blockbuster, which saw an DVDs to any Blockbuster store in return Buffalo Bill's Brewery's for a free rental. This bonus provides a chance to get many movies, provided they are available in the store. Netflix has tried to combat this with the opportunity view movies online, which works fairly well. So it boils down to this - if you are not picky about having a wide variety of films, such as foreign and independent, and you frequently find yourself renting movies in store, Blockbuster is for you; but if going to the store is out of your way or if you prefer specialty films, Netflix is your best bet. Boo&Mee Japanese Cuisine P ympyn Ate BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer Fall is in the air. When the sun starts setting earlier and grocery stores begin stocking up on candy and costumes for Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins. In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option available for the seasonal sensation is Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale. The ale is brewed with baked and roasted pumpkins combined with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Some other pumpkin brewers include Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard, Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon. The tradition of brewing pumpkin ales goes back to colonial America. According to money.cnn. com the native pumpkin was chosen as an alternative to British barley and hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer. As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor seeps slowing into my conscious and leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool and refreshing beverage paired well with any squash or pumpkin-carving event. For those of you who love pumpkins as much as I do I am sure that this will be something to look forward to every October. For the rest of you - give it a try and you may find something you like about pumpkins. BY JASON ENCABO Pride Staff Writer It's rare to find the combination of great Japanese food and great prices. The best places to get the most bang for your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop restaurants. Not too far from campus is a Japanese restaurant that is tiny in square footage, but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety of quality Japanese dishes for moderate prices. Sushi is a true testament to the notion that 'you get what you pay for,' and when you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but get suspicious. Keeping with the thought that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the ideal situation. With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of course sushi, tempura and more, you won't find yourself looking for something that isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars, offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in crab and spicy sauce. The restaurant also offers a "pick two combo," where you can choose two dishes from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi, stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars. These dishes can fill the average appetite, but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend ordering a roll of sushi in addition. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings on the wall, nor are there golden chop sticks to get your hands on, but don't think that will offset your appetite. With a TV on each end of the restaurant playing The Food Network, along with a random swordfish nailed to the northeast corner of the place, you'll be entertained as your taste buds await your meal. The restaurant from the customer's perspective is a one-man-show, with the sushi chef also acting as host, server and bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop restaurant. From sushi to tempura to fried oysters, Boo & Mee offers a little more than what you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food quality; �16 A&E TueMav. October 30. 2007 THE PRIDE NDERGRO HIPHOP By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer Spoken word hip-hop collective Ill-Literacy comes to campus There are places that are alive with music. People perform on street corners and beats rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof, a door and a microphone. Those who look hard enough agree that San Diego is one of these locales, with lyrics embedded in its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one didn't have to go into the city to seek the energy. The music came directly to CSU San Marcos. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world. The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken word collective. Her introduction to her pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word, I call it spoken soul because we express our souls," may have made some mem- bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she covered topics like war, truth, poverty and beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly replace with fascination; Castruita was, in her own words, "singing songs in the key of life." Up next, it was time for the main act. After being announced and welcomed by a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the stage. The welcome by the KA, while proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of many concerts, a single member was sent out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number, and asking the audience to come with them on a "journey". While there were all sort of influences for the various songs, most involved some form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel Luis, in addition to having the dubious job of being the first one on stage, performed an a mazing piece from the point of view of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on stage by announcing that "the club looks nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it does." Perhaps some of the most powerful moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that brought the most laughter and empathy from the audience though came from Nico Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including everything from conservative politicians to people who had Lunchables and never Keep your ear to the ground Hip-hop albums Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping? A verbalflowstrong enough that it defies the separations of verses and choruses? If not, maybe it's time for a little less 50 Cent and a little more Jurassic 5 in your record collection. Welcome to underground hip hop and spoken word. The same beat you love from mainstream hip hop, but the bar for innovation is set significantly higher. Here's a few discs, out of millions of possibilities, to expand your musical knowledge. Gil Scott-Heron The Revolution Will Not Be Televised One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless, particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon Jurassic Five Power In Numbers Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place. Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic 5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too. Mos Def & Talib Kweli Black Star The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list. When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong, only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive. shared. The second was about his desire to be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded by different types of "revolution" recruiters on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on a cause, and mocking the inability of each group tofindcommon ground. At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture". They spoke to the audience, provoking everything from uncontrollable laughter to shouted agreement during statements about society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular, the group showcased hip hop at its finest, exhibiting unbelievable word flow without a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium full of wide eyed people hanging on the group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only awakened, but ignited. Speaking with spoken words Ill-Literacy interview One of the main appeals of Ill-Literacy, in comparison to others in the field of spoken word and hip hop, may be their accessibility, with audience members coming up to them after the show and interacting like long-lost friends. When the flock thinned a little, the Pride had a chance to ask the group a few quick questions. As gleaned from their interaction on stage, the members of Ill-Literacy are friends as much as they're band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the same answers and finished each others' sentences. Dahlek: Yeah, we get, what would you say, like withdrawals. Without each other. What's the smallest show you've ever played? Adriel: Man, I think like 6. Probably 6. So would you rather play for six or 1,000? D: Depends. If you get all 6 of those people in, it could be your best show ever. What do you guys do after shows? D: I don't think you can print it. R: (laughter) We usually have dinner. Eat. Celebrate.

BY SANDRA CHALMERS Pride Staff Writer As Southern Californians collectively remember the one-year anniversary of the devastating October 2007 wildfires, students and the community recap their experiences and emotions over the catastrophic events that displaced more than 500,000 Southern Calif, residents. The 2007 October firestorms involved more than 23 scattered wildfires within Southern California. More than 1,700 homes crumbled to ashes and approximately 330,000 acres burned. The closest fire to CSUSM was the Coronado Hills fire that stretched into the San Elijo Hills and the Witch fire that began in Ramona and grew into an inferno that claimed two lives as reported by the North County Times. Now, one year later, CSUSM student, Marilyn Salisbury, recalls how last year's fires hit close to home. "I lived in Oceanside at the time and I was recovering f rom surgery. Watching the television was how I got my information and on the bottom of the screen they passed houses that had been lost and I saw my old address in Rancho Bernardo listed as a lost home. It was such a p ainful feeling." Salisbury previously lived there for three years. Salisbury, originally f rom the Midwest, mentioned that last October's fires were the first time she experienced ashes falling f rom the sky, "It was like Photo by Sandra Chalmers / The Pride See Fires, Page 5 International Education Week Weeklong events to promote advantages of study abroad E ducational Effectiveness Review a campus wide e ffort Phase three of WASC accreditation continues JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor BY TIFFANIE HOANG Copy Editor Oct. 20-24, 2008 - International Education Week (IEW) is a weeklong event that promotes the importance and advantages of international education and exchange.

Advertising Email: pride_ads@csusm.edu com A solution to high parking prices As redundant as it may be t o revisit the issue, parking permit prices have been a focal point of student dissatisfaction for years now. The fact that this problem has sustained for so long suggests that it is time for CSUSM Parking Service to reevaluate its policies regarding parking permit prices. As it currently stands, the fee program leaves many of CSUSM's current students footing the bill for a parking structure that they may never get the chance to use. And though it is true that students now enjoy parking paid for by our predecessors, the mystery lies in why the prices for such a basic service must rise at such unprecedented rates. Parking Services have given many answers to this, but none of them get to the heart of the question. It is true that Parking Services is self-sufficient and operates financially independent of the school, essentially making parking permits as the primary sources of revenue for parking programs. The cost of new parking projects get more expensive as time passes and so it is expected that prices should increase accordingly. In as much as students can understand the need to pay for this vital service at a rate that reflects increasing costs, the underlying reasoning behind the In theory, once all of these current system of parking permit increases abuses the fairness of projects have been paid off and construction completed, the cost such a system. Parking permit increases at of permit prices should drop CSUSM have far outpaced infla- dramatically.

Comparatively speaking, as these parking projects wind CSUSM students pay f ar-more down. However, a payment plan like than students nearby and across California. Parking Services this places a disproportionate attributes this to the newness of financial responsibility on current our campus, but how much will students who will have inherited this argument carry when we are an unfair share of the monetary no longer a young campus and all burden for parking programs. Instead of graduating payof these projects are paid o ff? ments, the system should embrace a long term method of paying for these projects that flattens out parking permit rates indefinitely. It is in this manner that parking projects can be paid for more equitably, with the only increases in permit prices being to account for inflation. It is both u nfair and impractical to expect students to assume such a large financial responsibility for parking if such a responsibility is not fairly distributed. For this reason, it is critical that Parking Services reevaluate its permit pricing policies in the f uture to ensure fairness and cooperation.

HA HA HA The resurgence of the Western BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer The past few years have a brought a revival of the Western genre in A merican films. The recently released " A p p a l o o s a" owes its success to Westerns f rom the past few years that have put new life in the genre. Not only is the Western back, but i t's t aking new shape as well. The Western film has always been p art of A merica's identity. In the early stages of films, Westerns were f requent in most m ajor film studios. Yet, in the , late 1980's, there was a diminishing amount of interest in films by directors such as Clint Eastwood. The Western almost came back in the early 1990's with "Unforgiven," which won the Oscar for best picture, but the revival would have to wait. The Western laid dormant for years until it recently began creeping back into mainstream cinema. In 2008, a hybrid film containing heavy Western influence once again won best picture. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" proved the genre still had strength. Leading up to this, the Western took new shapes in other setting and genres. In 2006, the Western, which has p rimarily been set in A merica, came out of Australia with stunning force. " The Proposition" contained all the elements of an American Western such as outlaws, j ustice, and gunfights, but it was unique because of its setting in the land down under. The film is high caliber standing on its own and revitalized interest i n the genre. The Western also went into deep space in the TV show " Firefly" and its spinoff movie, "Serenity." Though these works appear to be sci-fi, narrative and stylistic elements mark them as Westerns. They showed that the Western could be popular anywhere. They directly contributed to the success the Western has today. Recently, filmmakers have treated moviegoers to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and a remake of "3:10 To Yuma." Both have superb casts and s tories. The interest in recent Western films has proven Americans and viewers around the world are once again interested in the g ritty movie. T hemes of righteousness, t aking a stand for what is right, and selfless behavior have risen to the top. If this trend of Westerns and great movie m aking continues, cinemas will contain one delight a fter another. Photos reireivedfrom reelmovienews.com �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 21 2008 Rakin' in the dough Super-athletes distort bigger picture BY BRIAN M ANN Pride Staff Writer When people look at some of the salaries of professional athletes, they have to think that, overall, it is a group that certainly is not in need of a bailout. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez makes north of twenty million dollars annually. Manny Ramirez, now a free agent who most recently was a Los Angeles. Dodger, will shop his services around this winter and is expect- ing somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars a year. He^ll likely get it, draw some headlines, and you'll hear again about how out-of-control salaries in pro sports are. If you're one of these lucky guys, you probably don't even notice that the economy is struggling. These players are part of an elite group, though, and are not representative of professional athletes in general They are the best of the best and are paid accordingly. Their attention-getting salaries seem outrageous and, quite frankly, they are. But it is reflective of their market value. I heard once that an individual's market value is whatever someone is willing to pay them." Fair enough. Because the best players tend to be the highest paid ones, they and their salaries are given the most attention. These players, however, do not represent the vast majority of professional athletes. Many athletes have a short-lived career. For Major League Baseball Players, 53% of them will have a career of four years or less and 74% of them will play eight years or less. The current minimum salary is $390,000. For NFL players, the average career span is 3.5 years and the minimum salary is $385,000. For NBA players it is 4.8 years and $442,000 (espn.com). Most players with short careers are making much closer to the minimum than the tens of millions that go to the best players. Professional leagues in every sport are f ull of players like this, just trying to play as long as they can. Granted, the low-end pay scale looks quite attractive to most everybody in the "real world" but because the money is made in a relatively short amount of time, most players will have to work like everybody else once their career is over.

Quarterback Tony Romo broke the pinkie finger on his throwing hand during a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. To allow the injury to heal, he would have to sit out four weeks. However, it was reported by ESPN.com that Romo met with coaches and medical personnel for the team and told them he would like to play through the injury. He was the backup quarterback for their most recent game. Brad Johnson started. The Dallas Cowboys made a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire wide receiver Roy Williams. To acquire him, the Cowboys gave up a first, third, and sixth round pick in the 2009 d raft as well as a seventh round pick in 2010. Following up on a note f rom last week, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was handed what the NFL termed "at least" a four game suspension due to his most recent off-field incident. He reportedly got into a fight with a bodyguard that the team had assigned to him and was under the influence of alcohol, a violation of his probation terms. No charges were filed. Jones missed all of last season due to suspension f rom the NFL. Kansas City Chiefs r unning back L arry Johnson was charged w ith assaulting a woman, stemming f rom an incident five months ago. It is the t hird t ime Johnson has been charged w ith assaulting a woman.

Men's Soccer Plays to 0-0 Tie with Pomona Cougar men's soccer played Cal Poly Pomona to a scoreless tie on Saturday, in f ront of the home crowd at M angrum Track & Soccer Field. CSUSM is now 6 -6-2 on the year. A somewhat lackluster e ffort f rom b oth sides led to the result. The normally very active Cougars took only 10 shots to Pomona's 9, and neither team consistently put together any k ind of sustained offensive attack. A program However, both teams did have their chances. CSUSM got what appeared to be a goal in the early second h alf, but it was called back late due t o a foul. Forward Brandon Zuniga had an excellent one-on-one chance, and midfielder Chris Wyatt put a couple of dangerous shots on net, forcing Pomona keeper Thomas Ryan to make a couple of big saves. But it was Cougar keeper Tashi Nakanishi who made the game's big- for American Indian families Tribal TAN F You can receive: Cash Assistance E ducational D evelopment Career D evelopment C hild Care S tipend T ransportation Assistance K -l 2 C lothing A llowance gest plays.

Women's Soccer Looks Great in 3-1 Victory Over Pomona Cougar women's soccer t urned in one of its finer e fforts of the season on Friday, defeating Cal Poly Pomona handily, 3-1. The win moves t he #12-ranked Cougars to 10-2-2 on the year. Playing under the n ew scoreboard down at M angrum Track & Soccer Field, CSUSM came out looking spirited and generating plenty of offensive chances. Senior f orward Katelyn Krauss and f reshman f orward L auren Johnson were dynamic up f ront, creating mismatches and keeping t he pressure on. A fter Krauss had a goal nullified due to offsides in the 15th m inute, she came right back on a v irtually identical play and cashed in d uring t he 24th. Johnson fed Krauss the ball at t he f ar top corner of the box, and K rauss drove a beautiful shot into the n ear side n etting for her team-leading 7th goal on the year. CSUSM would expand its lead early in the second half. A fter a scramble in f ront of the CPP net and a couple blocked shots, Johnson was finally able to get o ff a clean one that beat the keeper to the corner. But with the game seemingly well-inhand, things got a little bit dicey late. Pomona's Cody McClure was taken down in the box in the 78th minute, and Britany Garrett finished off the resulting PK, making it a 2-1 game. But the Cougars would prevail, with super sub Taylor Schurman capping off the win with a goal off a loose ball in the 82nd minute. Coach Ron Pulvers' club held on for the 3-1 win. "We played quite well," noted Pulvers. "We're gearing up f or the post-season and stepping up our play." The Cougars will be at home once again this Sunday to take on San Bernardino.

With all of the controversy and hype that surrounds the presidential race, everything else on the ballot seems practically pushed aside. It is iiot . enough to be educated about the candidates for president Voters should inform themselves about candidates running for other offices and about the propositions that are on the ballot. Propositions are often confusing so here is the breakdown of what each proposition is about and what it means. Prop 1A: Safe, reliable high-speed passenger train bond act This proposition allows the state government to sell $9.95 billion in bonds in order to construct a new rail system in California. Those who are for this proposition argue that the new trains will cut down on greenhouse emissions, dependence on foreign oil, and traffic. Those against Prop 1 say that this project will cost the government $19.2 trillion in principal and interest, money California cannot afford to spend in its cuirent financial crisis. For more information visit: www.californiahighspeedtrains.comorwww.hjta.org. Prop 2: Standards for confining farm animals This proposition requires pregnant pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens to be able to extend fully, their limbs or wings, lie down, stand up and turn around for the majority of the day. Those for Prop 2 believe it is cruel to confine animals and that they deserve freedom of movement. Those against Prop 2 say the law will cause egg production in California to cease and it will increase the risk of exposure to Salmonella and the Bird Flu. For more information visit: www.YesOnProp2.org or www.safecaliforniafood.org. notify parents of minors seeking an abortion at least 48 hours before the procedure takes place. Those for the proposition argue that notification laws in other states have reduced teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in young girls and that the law will help protect them from being victimized by older men. Those against Prop 4 claim that it is dangerous and may force many pregnant minors to unsafe measures in order to avoid confrontation with their parents. Visit www.YESon4.net or www.NoonProposition4.org for more information. Prop 3: Children's Hospital Bond Act This proposition allows the state to sell $980 million in bonds for the construction, expansion, remodeling, renovation and equipping of certain children's hospitals. Those for Prop 3 argue that children's hospitals save children's lives and require support. Those against it claim it drives up California's debt and serves medical special interests while there are millions of dollars that are unspent from a similar measure that passed in 2004. For more information visit: www.imaginewithus.org or www.limittaxes.org. Prop 5: Nonviolent drug offenses, sentencing, parole and rehabilitation This proposition would give $460 million a year to expand rehabilitation programs for nonviolent drug offenders and would lessen the sentences they receive and the time they would be on parole. Those for Prop 5 argue it will safely reduce the overcrowding of prisons and expand rehabilitation programs necessary to get drug abusers help. Those against the proposition claim it has a loophole that will allow those accused of child abuse, domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter and other crimes to escape prosecution. For more information visit: www.Prop5yes.com or www.NoOnProposition5.com. Prop 4: Waiting period and parental notification before termination of a minor's pregnancy This proposition requires physicians to College Can Be Difficult. Getting Around Shouldn't Be.

NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT GoNCTD.com ^ 511 Prop 6: Police and law enforcement funding This proposition allots a minimum of $965 million a year to police and local law enforcement. Those for the proposition claim it will reduce crime and gang activity and increase the number of law enforcement officers on the streets, making our neighborhoods safer. Those against Prop 6 claim it will take $1 billion from schools, healthcare, fire protection and public safety programs without any guarantees that there will be more police on the streets. For more information visit: www.safeneighborhoodsact.com or www.votenoprop6.com. Prop 7: Renewable energy generation Prop 7 requires that all government-owned utilities generate 50 percent of their electricity by the year 2025. Those for Prop 7 argue it will help to combat rising energy prices and help to fight global warming. Those against the measure say it is drafted poorly and will not deliver on its promises and could very likely send California into another energy crisis. For more information visit: www.Yeson7. netorwww.NoProp7.com. . Prop 8: Eliminates right of same-sex couples to marry Prop 8 would define marriage in the state constitution as a union between only a man and a woman. Those for the proposition claim it will restore what 61 percent of voters already approved and then was overturned by four judges in San Francisco. They claim it will just keep the definition of marriage between a man and a woman but will not deny samesex couples their rights. Those against the proposition say that everyone deserves equality under the law and that it is wrong to single anyone out to be treated differently. For more information visit: www.protectmarriage.com or www.NoonProp8.com for more information. Prop 9: Criminal justice system. Victim's rights, parole This would allow victims to provide input at each stage of prosecution and would provide for better protection of victims. Those for this proposition claim it will boost victim's rights, decrease perpetrators rights and prevent the release of criminals due to overcrowding.

She has b een a dancer from early c hildhood and continues to explore dance as an art form. Fiehler is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and enjoys the intimacy o f the dance program. She is an accounting major with a minor in dance and is set to graduate this spring. Fiehler hopes to be able to continue to integrate b usiness and dance in the future w hile making a living at both. In the fourth grade, Fie-. hler moved from Escondido to Valley Center where her mom enrolled her in dance class. The idea was to meet other kids and get involved in a new location, but Fiehler did more than that. She had been dancing; "her whole l ife" and she continued to enjoy it as she learned more techniques. In middle school, Fiehler began to l oose her f ocus on dance but her a ffection for dance was not far from her mind. In high school, she began to dance again and gained an inspiration from one o f her instructors at Valley Center High School. Fiehler says o f her High School instructor, "she taught us about l ife, not just dance." Other inspirations in Fiehler's l ife are talented dancers that she watched perform, such as Savion Glover, a world famous tap dancer, A lvin A iley, and Paul Taylor. Fiehler's concentration in dance is on modern and contemporary art. She participated in CSU summer arts series, where the Bush Woman inspired her. "They are really strong women, powerful movement with meaning being the performance." Fiehler's goal in developing her own choreographing movements is to convey "a message" beyond the dance. The « message may be about her, "personal experiences or social observations." Fiehler also loves to combine different art forms into dance. She "collaborates with poets and layers the work" to achieve multi-themed projects. For Fiehler, dancing is more than just an art form. Dancing is a cathartic expression. "Dancing keeps [her] thinking y' and observant, when [she] is creating art [she] s ees more."

Edward Norton stars as the green giant in this I action film, which is better than the first, but still not great. This should delight fans of superheroes and action films. This horror film misses the mark on several levels. The story follows a family and what happens when masked strangers appear outside their house. Though it provides some minor chills, it ends up being just another lame slasher film. Images retreivedfrom amazon.com �Keane discover Perfect Symmetry BY AMY SALISBURY Opinion Editor After two multi-platinum albums, a successful stint at rehab, and a new baby girl, you can't shake the vibe that Keane feels they have conquered something. Whether it be the unsaid rules of the music industry, hindered originality, or fears of their own, Perfect Symmetry begs to find out. Symmetry's opening track, "Spiralling," sets the tone for the entire album. David Bowie emanates from the verses in unlikely, synth-soaked flashbacks, surely not shaping the revelatory single fans expected. "The Lovers Are Losing" is much closer to Keane's typical style, filled with soaring vocals and loye scorned lyrics, a bit more pared down than the tracks to follow. Smith's throwback "Better Than This" could easily be where keyboardist and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley gave in hard to guest producer and pop god Jon Brion. The track is unquestionably a lyrical victory, centering on society'^ obsession with celebrity and reputation. Triumphant the poetry may be, but the keyboards and trippy guitar effects saturate the song's atmosphere. "You Haven't Told Me Anything" pushes the band's boundaries even further. Rice-Oxley allows drummer Richard Hughes a little experimentation with its beat-driven construction, seamlessly (and temporarily) switching Keane to a dance/house trio. Symmetry's low point immediately follows the album's immeasurable title track. The mellow "You Don't See Me" harshly contrasts "Perfect Symmetry's" dramatic melody and empowering mood by diminishing front man, Tom Chaplin's, commanding voice into a whimpering Bono impression. Keep an eye on your iPod. "You Don't See Me" is so dangerously m id-80s U2 that the song might sponta- Walkman. Luckily, "Again and Again" rushes in to balance the retro cheese. True, it sounds like something off the Top Gun soundtrack, but the A-ha synth rip-offs are actually rather classy. In fact, take away the buzzing arpeggio, and "Again and Again" could fit right in on the band's debut album, Hopes and Fears. Most of the release's punch lives in the first half of the tracks, with an even mellower "Playing Along" softly screaming an antiwar message before the last of the pop tunes make their mark. "Pretend That You're Alone" comes off as almost a harsh Prince" from sophomore record, Under the Iron Sea. Rice-Oxley compares humanity to "blisters on the earth" and "strangling weeds" before insisting we all revert to our most hidden animal instincts, apparently to help remedy rampant .Western superficiality. "Black Burning Heart" finally embodies what these three men originally set out to create with this record. As fresh as it is familiar, the song boils with classic Keane styling, while the fattest bass line since Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" drives it home. Lyrically, the track could joke, with lyrics akin to "The Frog onance of their previous record. The Radiohead/Queen finale, "Love is the End," overflows with genuine passion. Certainly, the band's personal experiences in the last year contributed to its authenticity. To feign warmth like that is impossible. A fter all, Keane would know. The glaringly poetic lyricist and composer Tim Rice-Oxley is sometimes too advanced for his own good. Regrettably, I get the feeling that this album won't bring about any Keane converts due to the simple fact that it may fly above many heads. Perfect Symmetry symbolizes the culmination of a band abandoning its inhibitions and indulging every influence. Refreshing from start to finish, Keane's latest album . leaves no stone unturned and balances intuition with innovation. neously morph it into a Drinks and Dinner Pairs well with Live Music BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor A fter a long week of school, work, and more school, a college student needs some f un.

With the initial state of emergency having dissipated, South- CSUSM steps up emergency preparedness ern California residents and state officials are now moving into a recovery phase. This past week, fire fighters continued battling the remaining flames. As of Thursday, Nov. 1, only the Poomacha and Santiago fires continued to burn in California of the 23 fires that plagued the state less than a week ago. In regards to the two remaining fires, fire officials expected full containment by Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 respectively. With evacuations lifted this past week, homeowners and city officials began assessing damages. In addition to various donations from non-profit organizations to aid victims of thefires,state and local See UPDATE, page 2 ¡¡BMP""* Photo by Nick Strizver / The Pride BlacktudentstudentewUnionfrican-American bommunitysotrong S breathe n life into A comes c ack n campus CSUSM s New off-site emergency notification system enacted BY BENROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The Emergency Management Program at Cal State University San Marcos received its most important upgrade to date on Nov. 5. As part of an effort to provide all possible emergency preparedness resources to students, faculty, and staff, Emergency Management activated the MIR3 IN (Intelligent Notification) system. The system allows students, faculty, and staff to be notified of an emergency through a variety of means. According to an e-mail sent out by the Office of Communications to all students, "MIR3 IN has been thoroughly tested and was scheduled to be implemented last week." The e-mail went on to explain, "Although the wildfires prevented implementation, the need for a comprehensive emergency notification system has been underscored by recent events." Notifications can be sent in the form of SMS text messages, calls to cell phones, and calls to home phones; with users having the ability to choose desired forms of notification based on the information they provide. With this new system, users will be able to update their secure notification contact information online at anytime. Participation in the program is not automatic and is entirely voluntary. For those interested in the program, simply go to the Emergency Management website (http://www.csusm.edu/ep/ Alert) and follow the brief registration instructions. Sherray Blythe leads a group of students in re-establishing Black student organization. BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer For African-American students at Cal State San Marcos, the Black Student Union is the only group devoted to bringing together the African-American community on campus. Until recently, the BSU, a vital resource for an already underrepresented minority at CSUSM, had come to a standstill and ceased to be. However, students at CSUSM have recently mobilized to revive the dormant organization. Lead by Sherray Blythe, the newly restored group held its first meeting on Oct. 17. Blythe, the new BSU president and an active member in several campus organizations, said, "It [BSU] has been up before, but people never went to meetings." Senior, Dominique Younger, characterized the previous CSUSM women's soccer first ever playoff game BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM women's soccer made history Wednesday, as the Cougars defeated Concordia in the first playoff appearance in the program's two-year history. In just the 15th minute, Taylor Ziencina scored from 18-yards out over Concordia goal keeper, Suzanne Torres thanks to an Annica Perez assist, to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead. In the 52nd minute, Ziencina struck again on a penalty kick. Concordia bounced back, and just three minutes later, scored their only goal of the game, bringing the score to 2-1. The Cougars defense held strong throughout the game, proving to be the guiding light en route to the program's most important win ever. The win meant the Cougars would go up against the #2 ranked Azusa Pacific team that they faced earlier in the season, losing by a score of 1-0. The stage was set for yet another upset Friday, as the Cougars made the trip to Azusa to face a team that was undeSee SOCCER, page 3 attempt at the BSU as "not a financially stable situation." Younger also attributed the previous failure of the BSU to a lack of activity. On Nov. 1, during University Hour, The Pride sat in on the BSU's second meeting this semester to cover the restructuring efforts. With the entire infrastructure of the previous BSU left bare, the first order of business at the Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride meeting was the nomination of willing individuals to fill vacant executive and administrative positions. It was clear f rom the tone set at the meeting that this matter was not something taken lightly by those students in attendance.

The Cougars patience paid off, as they placed first, punching their ticket to the National Championships. Seniors Juan Mejia and Sergio Gonzalez led the CSUSM pack, much in the way they have done for the majority of the season. Mejia finished third overall with a time of 24:50. Gonzalez finished just five seconds back, with a time of 24:55. The Cougars had a strong showing from senior transfer, Sean Brosnan, who finished 12th overall with a time of 25:31. Freshmen, Alex Guaderama and Patrick Fitzgerald had strong showings in the middle of the pack that were key to the overall victory. Guaderama and Fitzgerald ran side by side for much of the race, as Guaderama crossed the finish line See CROSS COUNTRY, page 3 �T HE#PMDE EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF JASON ENCABO ASSISTANT LAYOUT DESIGN EDITOR NICK STRIZVER NEWS EDITOR BEN ROFFEE FEATURES EDITOR VI RI DIANA EACH ECO-ISAAC ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT .

According to the San Diego Union Trine, state officials plan to pay for 75 rcent of debris removal efforts and the y of San Diego will pay the remaining percent for those uninsured. During lews conference Thursday in Rancho rnardo, San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders, urged people in the community to sign up for the project in order to speed up the removal process. "The program will make sure that homeowners are protected from scam artists and make sure that their properties are cleaned up in an environmentally proper way," said Mayor Sanders. On Oct. 28, the Chargers hosted a home game at Qualcomm stadium, which just days prior housed more than an estimated 10,000 evacuees according to numbers released at the City of San Diego website. Fans donated more than $72,500 at the game and the donations were immediately handed over to the Salvation Army and family members of injured firefighters. According to the Associated Press, the NFL and NFL Players Association will donate $250,000 through a disaster relief fund, which will directly aid victims of the San Diego wildfires.

Singer Gwen Stefani held a concert in San Diego on Oct. 30 and donated all proceeds from the concert to the San Diego Foundation, a local charity helping victims of the Southern California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my show out of respect, but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution," Stefani said Oct. 29, in a radio interview.

"We feel invisible here on campus," said Sherray Blythe. One of the main concerns at the meeting was increasing the visibility of the BSU at CSUSM. Students suggested reaching out to the community and local high schools to promote the presence of a united African-American community at CSUSM. They also hope to draw more CSUSM students into the group. Because the group is still in its infancy, ironing out the financial situation was also a hot topic on the meeting's agenda. Danyelle, a sophomore, suggested the group look into "creative ways to do fundraising." Apart from the logistical issues covered at the meeting, students were also attentive to the overall welfare of the newly reformed BSU and its members. "We should come together,".said one student, emphasizing the need for "team building activities." The group also communicated intentions to meet and connect with other BSU's as one of many things in store for the future of the BSU. Building on this new momentum, the BSU stands poised to become a prominent presence on campus. The BSU encourages interested students to attend the weekly meetings on Thursdays during University Hour in Library 1111. ¡§ 11:15<4:10PM suspedLprmd 4 ! 1 0 /16|af 1 0:30AM- ' Mlfcc^M -gSj e ^trylrttoi 2 doorHonda JJgjJ | . in l |ff9pri unknown ^ a ^ c t ^ kmedmjot P, ai^'^tempted 21 bro|e icig) a vehicle Osteal vehicfepjf h btwfe^ I a window, but no propëi^was ^p^SrAaf^je d S S ^ ' . s totóril'T^ìy^ j gj •0/18/0l5:25PM lj OaksJ V^l^oplgoffl^p c^tact^B oi ¡2 3 n d i | & i n a Ä 2 | & y o t | Ä ( ¡TtfSfe, SSmrSÊm 1mm ^ ^ S ^ HÄ ptMsmädn p f ^ j ^ g M ^ ™ ^ t wjndMduais w è f ^ ^ ^ p n d * M ù i B,an officer i û m m 2 :00AM A p p l ^ ^ e i p ooifiputertmm^the J individuals \n é^ehicte, a n ^ ^ University Bookstore. f he value foïowedthem on to è &iïgm^ is An 'mm i t | | g | * ¡¡¡¡¡¡I ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡J j1| 8 :20AM-5:30PM m$e • f 2 000 ftldKCivicp a ri^dM'ot < Chavez steps, 1 0/16/071:00AM In paridng lot <X an officer encountered a male under the age of 21, andfoundhim to be in possession of aicxjilii l ^ w a r , j not cited, b utle was referred to I : -'|fe:Peart of S tudentS^^W^M _ In lot N, an officer on bike patrol contacted a couple thai were them over for & traffic vioiatói, * ^ arguing.

Chargers record now 4 - 4 after losing to the Vikings on Sunday BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer The Chargers came into Sunday's game fresh off of a heartwarming victory last week in fire ravaged San Diego. The Chargers stepped onto the field in Minnesota, Sunday looking to capitalize on a 2-5 Vikings team that has already seen its ups and downs. Vikings rookie running back, Adrian Peterson stood between the Chargers, and their hopes of winning their fourth straight game. Peterson, one of the highest touted rookies drafted in April, saw huge success at the University of Oklahoma, where he set the NCAA freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards en route to nearly winning the Heisman Trophy. While the Chargers scored f irst, on a LaDainian Tomlinson rush, the real story was the p erformance of Peterson. Peterson rushed his way into the record books, passing Jamal Lewis by one yard for first all-time rushing yards in a game, with 296 yards. Peterson first struck near the two-minute mark in the first quarter on a short rush to the left. Despite Peterson's performance, the biggest highlight came at the end of the second quarter, when Viking's kicker, Ryan Longwell missed a 57-yard field goal. Waiting in the end zone was Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who caught CLASSIFIEDS "Loòkmg tohire individual to write a weekly column on ^Wodààtìoa Techaoïogy" its i ters, andtocómepotential.

Minnesota came back strong in third quarter, tying the game at 14-14, as Peterson rushed for a 64 yard field goal. Minnesota scored again, this time through the air, as quarterback Brooks Bollinger passed to wide receiver, Sidney Rice for a 40 yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their last points early on in the fourth quarter, on a 36-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. Adrian Peterson scored once again for the Vikings, this time, at 7:44 in the fourth, rushing for 46 yards. Vikings back up running back, Chester Taylor scored on a two yard rush with 4:28 remaining in the game, to solidify the victory. The final score was 35-17 Vikings, in a game that saw two all-time NFL records get shattered. The Vikings, relying heavily on the success of Peterson, improve their record to 3-5. The loss brings the Chargers to an even 4-4 record, with the pivotal part of the season knocking on the door. The Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday on Sunday Night Football at 5:15 p.m. on NBC. The Colts are fresh off of their first loss of the season, Sunday, losing to the now 9-0 New England Patriots.

The city of Washington D.C. is actually a place to visit if you enjoy cool weather and, of course, the history of the foundation of our country. The city, masked by the White House and Capital building, is one of those places where one would find something to do, even for those who may break into a rash by the thought of a history lesson. With a wide variety of pubs, restaurants and night clubs, there is something to do for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy a good travel back in time, Washington D.C. is a place where you must go at least once in your life time. The most obvious attraction is the White House, where the President and First Lady live. Scores of tourists visit this site every day, as well as its usual batch of anti-Bush protesters. However, while the White House is the icon of the city, its most interesting attractions reside in the National Mall. One must-see spot is the Washington Monument, built in the 1800's in memory of George Washington. It stands more than 500 feet tall, surrounded by American Flags. On any given day one can visit inside the monument and experience the tributes to the nation's first president. To the west of the Washington Monument lies the Reflecting Pool, a wide rectangular pool leading westward to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is one the most breath-taking monuments in the National Mall. Built to commemorate the life and achievement of the nation's 16 president, it consists of a large sculpture of a sitting Lincoln and two of his well-known speeches carved along the walls. But the Lincoln Memorial has also been the site of many famous speeches, including the 1963 Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the height of the civil rights movement. A rectangular step has been carved out in memory of the King's speech at the very spot where he stood all those years ago. The Potomac River is the body of water with its most historical significance in the th area. Once crossed by General Lee to invade the North during the civil war, the Potomac River is also known to be a place where George Washington spent much of his life.

Don't be scared off by the word "hacking," these websites will not teach you how to gain compromising information by illegally trespassing into somebody's computer.

Then there is the egotistical Kobe who was put in his place by Lakers fans when he was booed during introductions opening night. Fans eventually opened up to Kobe as he once again carried the team to a loss. When I saw the introductions to the game and heard the fans booing him, it brought a huge smile on my face. After everything that Kobe has done: forced Shaq out of LA, bought his freedom in Colorado and now demanding a trade from "his" team. Here is some advice for Kobe. Grow Up! Make some sacrifices for once. You can carry a team to a T or 8 seed, but you aren't going to do much more. Since the Lakers were unable to bring any named players in the offseason to you, you are now forced to ask for a trade and deplete a new team. Have you ever thought that BY DAVID CHURCH Pride Staff Writer With so many rumors and signings occurring this week, it seems only right for me to praise Tim Duncan and belittle the selfish A-Rod and Kobe Bryant. I will start by talking about A-Rod and how he choose the biggest day in his sport to announce that he is opting out of his contract. A-Rod showed no respect for the game, the Boston Red Sox, and the World Series - something that he has never played for. A-Rod rejected an offer by the New York Yankees because they failed to offer a prerequisite of $350 million starting bid. Now A-Rod will be looking to capitalize on potential buyers, which seems to only be the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at this time as the Dodgers are unlikely to increase a payroll for a single player when they have a stingy owner who h th you are the reason that no one came to your team this offseason.

But Kobe, if you want to learn how to build a dynasty around yourself, ask Duncan. Duncan once again took a pay cut for his team's future. Duncan just signed a twoyear, $40 million contract extension. Duncan saved the Spurs $10 million a year which will help keep role players as well as bring in other role players. This $10 million pay cut allows the Spurs room to defend their Championship and keeps their dynasty intact. Any comments or questions can be sent to me at churc009@csusm.edu or pride@csusm.edu. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Christmas in October BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Do you know when Christmas starts? Historically, Chflstmas falls on December 25 . Some people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas, or get an advent calendar and count down all the days in December, while doing things like listening to the world's most annoying songs while watching Family Channel holiday movies. You know, I hate the people with advent calendars. Eat your little Christmas tree shaped piece of chocolate every day and shut up. And in case I wasn't angry enough at the 'month o' Christmas' people, I always end up walking into one of those stores that plays "Frosty the Snowman" on a consistent loop starting on Thanksgiving. But there's a new breed rising. A hideous breed. I can't walk in to the drug store/grocery store/porn store without running into a Christmas aisle in the middle of October. What the hell is going on?

Silem Mohammad Flarfpoety gives CSUSM a post Halloween Trick or Treat BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer "When Snoopy goes Hawaiian, is it art?" A shrewd philosophical question posed by contemporary poet K. Silem Mohammad during his reading Thursday Nov. 1 at Cal State San Marcos. Mohammad, author of poetic collections "Deer Head Nation", "A Thousand Devils", and "Breathalyzer", is an associate professor of language, literature, and philosophy at Southern Oregon University. Most notably, however, Mohammad is a key participant in theflarfpoetry movement. While difficult to pinpoint an exact definition, flarf is a fairly new trend in poetry today that focuses on the use of Internet search engines to find and piece together quirky phrases. The end result becomes a purposely disturbing and oftentimes humorous assemblage of nonsense. In Mohammad's own words, flarf itself is "essentially/a method of collage unlike any other." Poet Gary Sullivan first used the term flarf as part of the title of an intentionally bad poem he submitted to Poetry.com in order to test the standards of the publication. Soon after, the Flarflist Collective, a group of writers, including Mohammad and Sullivan, formed. According to Mohammad, the flarf movement originated out of sheer boredom. "It was something to do when you're supposed to be working. A way to avoid facing real life," Mohammad said. For his part, Mohammad kept much ofhis browsing exclusively to Google, com. When asked about his choice in poetic devices, he confessed, "The Google thing is like an addiction. I'm not proud of it." He joked. "I'm like the poster child. Don't let this happen to you." In Mohammad's defense, why bother looking elsewhere when the popular search engine rendered such peculiar lines in the first place? In his poem "Exorcist Voice", Mohammad read, "O.M.G. Your hair is so Jurassic Park," and the poem "Anti Ass" included the line, "Your butt is like a performance car, baby. Uber hotness, like, I don't know." Mohammad's words read strange on paper but as a performance piece, they transformed into a rare interpretive art that left the audience laughing out loud one minute and deep in thought the next. His shift in tone, volume, accent and speed further accentuated humor throughout the evening. In his upcoming book, Dutch Sound, the poem Bionic Iraqis reads "No. I am not okay. You sat on me. Oh well. Enough about me." It's difficult to ignore the controversial nature to Mohammad's choice in poetic titles and content. This poet revels in it, choosing shock value as yet another poetic device. Anything political, contentious, vulgar, or shamefully humorous is fair game in the writings of K. Silem Mohammad. The poet however manages his work with class. No matter how shocking one line may be, the following could potentially have an insightful twist. That ability in itself is exactly what generates such a following for theflarfmovement and Mohammad's poems. The final Community and World Literary Series event this semester is Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in Academic Hall 102. The event will feature readings from native California poet, Joanne Kyger.

Instead of doing my Spanish homework, I decided to do something else that took up my time. For a lot of my college time, my main distracter was "Guitar Hero". And with "Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock" out for a week now, I can expect my homework to be "forgotten" yet again. In case you've been living under a rock (no pun intended)* for the last year, Guitar Hero is a video game where you use a guitar controller and must hit the fret buttons and strum in time with the song. The first notable thing about the game is the wireless guitar. In the old games, I was always afraid that I would accidentally pull the guitar too hard and disconnect it. Let those fears be put to bed. Now with a wireless guitar, I can freely walk around the room while still rocking out. Another new feature is the co-op career mode. Not only does this mode break down the songs into guitar and bass so that two players can play together, but this is also the only way to unlock certain songs. However, don't fret (again, no pun intended) if you don't have any friends willing to rock out with you, as the single player career mode is still available. The songs featured in this edition cover many aspects of the "rock" genre. If classic rock is your cup of tea, then enjoy the hits "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n' Roses and "La Grange" by ZZ Top. If metal is your favorite, than head-bang to "One" by Metallica and "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Or enjoy the modern hits like "Miss Murder" by AFI and "When You Were Young" by The Killers. So, whether you are a fan of the original "Guitar Hero" games, or just a fan of rocking out to great music, I suggest picking this gem up before the gods of rock take it back.

Do you enjoy fabulous storytelling? Do you want to beat the crap out of every person who rushed to see Saw IV the minute it came out? If so, then shell out a couple of bucks to see "American Gangster", starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the rise and eventual downfall of Frank Lucas, who became a leader of the Harlem drug scene in the late '60s and early '70s. The film does an advis® school job excellent job of portraying a man who is capable of incredibly violent acts, while at the same time caring for his family and running a business. After coming up with an innovative way to get high quality heroin at a bargain price, he brings his entire family into his crime empire, basing it on "honesty, integrity, hard work, never forgetting where we came from." Played with a fine mixture of emotions and appropriate amount of stoicism by Washington, Frank Lucas makes drug running sound like a more decent profession, with better practices, than working for most major corporations. (Hey, isn't it a toss up fair as to whether one would be better off dealing drugs or working for the corporate sector of Walmart?) Like any good crime drama, there's an equal focus on those trying to stop the criminals. Russell Crowe is Richie Roberts, a cop who remains clean in New York City, an almost impossible feat during that era. His dedication to his job, and dogged pursuance of Lucas, take a toll on his personal life, and the audience begins to feel a modicum of pity for him. Admirably, Crowe doesn't play the part as pitiful; he simply plays a man on the edge, who needs a solid victory against crime to jus- tify the righteousness he exhibits. Critics have said that the film only truly develops the two main characters. This is, for the most part, true. Several smaller characters in both Lucas' and Roberts' orbit are still infused with passion though, and without them, the personal interactions Beer of the we e K w eek Oktoberfest BY JONATHAN THOMPSON taste and more alcohol.

Munich. Breweries create a Karl Strauss Brewing special brew for Oktoberfest. Company brews OktoberThe special brew generally has fest in Pacific Beach, Calid arker fornia. The brewery began when Chris Cramer and Matt Rattner co-founded Karl Strauss Brewing Company in February of 1989. In the I summer of 1988, Chris ¡visited Fremantle, Australia and became fascinated with micro brewing. He returned f rom the vacation and began discussing plans with Matt to open their own micro brewery. Fortunately, C hris' uncle Karl Strauss had extensive knowledge in brewing beer. Karl Strauss was a renowned German brewmaster and knew the business of beer. Pastel yellow and blue hues dominate the cardboard container of Oktoberfest. A colorful scene of energetic and happy people enjoying themselves and healthy servings of beer marks the main portrait of the packaging. The scene most likely depicts a common sight during Oktoberfest. A red bottle cap with the breweries logo seals a 12 ounce beer with a 4.9 percent alcohol by volume. The dark golden amber beer pours smooth like a running creek and generates a quarter inch thick head. The beer has a pleasantly faint aroma that sooths the soul. The beer enters the mouth and quickly resonates with the taste buds. For a second or two the beer floods all aspects of the mouth with powerful surges of spiciness from the hops. A dry tingling sensation lingers as the beer trickles down the t hroat The distinguished tasteful sip creates anxiety within the brain as the brain craves for more of the now famed beer. The seasonal beer should disappear like a magician's trick from store shelves in the following weeks. Images courtesy of Universal Studios on which the film is built would feel empty. As I said, the sign of a good crime drama is a clear focus on both the criminals and those trying to apprehend them. The sign of a great crime drama is one that has half the audience, or more, rooting for the 'bad guy'. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

University Village students dinedly affected by widfires Massive Campus Clean Up By ADRIAN OJNDIFF Pride StaflfWriter Fires devastate San Diego County sending a snowstorm of ashes and smoke into the air that consumed everything. The fires directly or indirectly affected all students living on campus. Many students who live on campus complained about problems relating to breathing due to the large cloud of smoke that hovered over the campus all week. Others got sick and complained about havingflu-likesymptoms. Not only was the campus closed for students who live off campus but also for students who live on campus as well. Students who live on campus were not able to use the computer lab, study or do research in the library, or workout in the gym for one week. The air quality around campus caused one student to have an asthma attack that sent her to the emergency room last Monday. Olivia Roldan, Liberal Studies major, said that her limbs got numb and as she waited in the emergency room her hand got paralyzed as she checked in. Roldan lives on campus and according to her the smoke was unbearable. The smoke around campus caused her asthma to act up even though her seasonal See STUDENTS, page 2 By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Editor in Chief Last week the San Diego County wildfires engulfed Cal State San Marcos with unhealthy air and spread soot and ash all over the campus. Although President McTarnaghan closed the campus to students, faculty and administrators, Facility Services were on hand cleaning up the campus and replacing air filters in all the buildings to ensure the campus would be safe for classes to resume on Nov. 3. In response to the hazardous atmosphere surrounding the campus, Facility Services spent Friday changing all the airfiltersin each building. "We're taking preventative measures by changing all the airfiltersin the buildings," said Chuck Walden, Director of Facility Services. Although there was no testing done inside each building to determine how much unhealthy pollution there was, new filters were ordered and replaced as preventative maintenance. Steve Holbrook of Facility Services said, "We're staying ahead of the game before people become affected." The buildings on campus each have an air-handling room where outside air is sucked in and distributed through the air conditioning system. Filters are used on the outside See CLEAN UP, page 2 V OL.XI N O. 8 Photo By Adrian Cundiff/The Pride McTarnaghan closes CSUSM for a week By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaflfWriter Students and faculty at CSUSM spent time away from school last week after Interim President Roy McTarnaghan cancelled classes due to thefiresraging through San Diego County. McTarnaghan closed the campus last week after emergency services requested roads be kept clear and because of poor air quality at CSUSM. As a result of the polluted air, more time was needed to replace airfiltersfor air conditioning systems. The call to close the campus came after Chancellor Charles Reed of the California . State University (CSU) system advised McTarnaghan last week. Faculty and staff are determining the effects of the closure and how to fix any problems. Except for essential personnel such as police and facilities crew, the closure barred students and stafffromentering the campus. "The major effect is how we will make up a week—that is the big question," said Rick Moore, CSUSM director of communications.

We never expected what was to come of the day. My parents and I woke up early to wrap gifts, decorate and set up the tables in the back yard for the lunch mom was preparing for our guests. It was a hot day, outside the air smelled of smoke, and ashes were falling on our tables like snow. Every television channel was broadcasting the destruction wildfires were causing all over San Diego County. Guests would be arriving from all over Southern California and we worried that we had invited them to Hell. Hopefully no one would put themselves in danger to come to our house. Hopefully everyone we knew would be safe. Hopefully this was all a bad dream. Hopefully it would all be over soon. Everyone we were expecting showed up. I turned off the TV and for the next few hours focused on family and friends and the celebration for my yet unborn niece. At lunch we joked that the ash falling into our sodas was good for us. Doesn't carbon absorb toxins in the body? Once most of the guests were gone I went upstairs to my room and looked out the window. It was dark and I could clearly seeflamesburning over the second hillside to our east. I learned later this was the Valley Center fire which was less than th m eight miles away from us. "Papi, ven aca," I called my dad upstairs, but my anxious voice alerted my mom that she should come too. The fires we had spent all day ignoring were now very real. Quickly we decided it was time to get packing. Important papers, pictures, heirlooms, treasured gifts, clothes, essential toiletries, my dog's food and leash, the computer tower, anything we could think of that we considered irreplaceable or essential was thrown in laundry baskets and suitcases and piled in the living room. Finally, exhausted and mesmerized by the news reports, we went to sleep, thinking we would need all the rest we could get in case we had to evacuate at some time during the night. I woke up often to look out the window, but theflamesnever came closer No fireman ever came to knock on our door. No evacuation notice was announced for our street. We were safe. We were lucky, during the night the winds shifted to the east and away from us. Some of our things still sit on the living room floor as we are a little afraid to put them away. However, these things no longer seem as important as they did that night. They are just things. It is the people who are suffering from great losses that are in my heart now. They are important, essential and irreplaceable unlike the things on the living room floor. You and me and everyone we know, everyone that lives here in San Diego, everyone that lives in our world. They are what really matters. G EICO is seeking a new generation of top management professionals to maintain our c ompany's f orward m omentum.

One psychological side effect of tragedies is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder affecting those who have experienced or witnessed a major trauma. The symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, and social withdrawal. If you experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal CAPS is here to help. CAPS is the Counseling and Psychological Services at Cal State San Marcos. They are a group of professionals and pre-doctoral students from Alliant University majoring in clinical psychology. CAPS is located at Suite 102 in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center, they are open Monday through Friday, 8-5 pm, and can be reached at (760) 750-4910 According to Dr. Kreisler, the full time psychiatrist with CAPS, the most important service they offer is one-on-one counseling. Dr. Kreisler suggests that victims of the fire confide in a close friend or a clergy member. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard, has also responded to the needs of CSUSM students by opening his door to those who want to discuss concerns about the devastating effects of the San Diego County Fires. Poullard's office is located in Craven Hall 4935. It is recommended to call first and make an appointment, (760) 750-4056 Air quality is also a health concern. The American Lung Association recommends southern California residents to monitor breathing and exposure to airborne contaminants. The Air Pollution Control District of San Diego reported that the air quality is good, with the exception of the areas that are still burning or downwind of fires. To maintain good health, drink plenty of liquids that will aid in flushing the air particles out of the body and avoid hard labor as much as possible. Children should be monitored more closely due to their developing respiratory systems that take in more air than adults do, which means more air pollution. Dr. Nicholson from Student Health Services warned that air borne particles will continue to affect air quality for the next one to two weeks. She advised students to minimize time spent outside and to breathe through the nose.

I imagine that this was the manner in which most everyone who lives in North San Diego County also woke up on that morning. A quick reference to the television confirmed my suspicions that there was afireof dramatic proportions very close b y My senses did not prepare me for the images that I saw on the television; the reality of these fires was far worse than I expected. Thesefiresare different than the Harmony Grove Fire of 1996 or the fires that burned near Lake Wohlford in 1993. In those fires, both houses and lives were lost, but not on the scale that we experienced over the past week.

Born in Vietnam, Quynh moved to San Francisco and worked as a waitress where she met her future husband, native San Diegan John Pack. The couple married and moved to a small cabin off Wildcat Canyon Road. Chau had been" a full time senior finishing her degree at Cal State San Quynh Yen Chau Marcos and was interested in continuing her education in a graduate program. "Quynh was very friendly, very cheerful... she was always focused on her work, a conscientious student," said family member Henry Duong. "Each year the family has big Thanksgiving dinner [where she would] always talk about school; she was a very determined student." Chau's family in Vietnam own and operate a plastics company. Chau was interested in working with them to expand their business. Her older brother, Sinh Chau had discussed overseas business ventures, and Quynh had wanted to help him bring their business to the U.S. On the day of thefire,a neighbor awoke Quynh and her husband around 1 am to warn them to evacuate. Quynh started the car while John rescued their two large dogs. They managed to drive away but were somehow stopped on the dirt road, perhaps due to engine failure or lack of visibility. Fire officials found the couple inside their car, their arms wrapped around the bodies of their beloved dogs. Quynh Pack's ashes were returned to Vietnam by her older brother, Sinh Chau. She is survived by her four brothers and sisters and her mother, To Ha, all currently reside in Vietnam. — * 7 i i ' f t / I1 Ill" I ! Did Emma make it in this issue? Find out... Foom PAGE ?

OMBUDSMAN'S N OTES By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Pride has decided to change the format a bit for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Therefore, the stories in this edition will focus exclusively on the Thanksgiving holiday and our community. The news stories we are working on will come in following issues. In terms of the school year, the Thanksgiving break often represents that last chance to take a breath before the final push to the end of the semester; often times that is just what is needed to get to the end of this race.

Darrin Mortenson reports that "at least five units from San Diego County" will be heading to Iraq beginning in February. The eminent departure of these reservists, who will be joining the already allocated units of active Marines in Iraq, will make this Thanksgiving special for those families who are affected.

Broken water valve causesfirein Academic Hall By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The frequent routine of repairing busted water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in Academic Hall igniting a fire. University Police evacuated the building and called for firefighters to come, nobody was hurt. This is the second time that broken water pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall, the largest classroom building. In spring 2003, part of the building closed due to flooding. At a school with miles of water and electrical valves, there are of thousands of places where systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of facilities services. Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in the wall and found a fire. By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber floated through the third floor and two fire alarms were pulled. Olaf Hansen, a math professor, said it took five minutes to evacuate from the fourth floor. "It was really calm," he said. Rebecca Bazquez, said she thought the alarm See FIRE, page 2 CFA speaks out against new Budget Photo by Jon Rodley/77*e Pride A fter f ire a larms r ang t hrough A cademic H all, M ichael V asile o f t he S an M arcos F ire D epartment a rrived o n s cene w ith t wo o ther f irefighters, W ednesday. The California State University system (CSU) will experience a 20 percent decrease in state support j n two years if Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is approved by the Legislature this summer. The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and would, once again, increase student fees. The California Faculty Association (CFA) has produced a summary analysis of how the proposed budget cuts will affect the CSU. Included in the summary is the impact on student fees and financial aid. The CFA's primary concerns are the decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher ratio, and the likely loss of teachers, courses, and/or library services. "The last thing California can afford right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John Travis, CFA president and a government professor at Humboldt State University. State Treasurer Phil Angelides will start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call attention to the proposed budget and how it will affect the CSU system and the impact it will have on California's economy. "The CSU infuses billions each year into the California economy and produces tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis. For more information on Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004/05 budget or to see the CFA's 10-page analysis go to: www.calfax.org/reseach.html. Tours available; grand opening at Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/T/ie Pride T he n ew K ellogg L ibrary h osts a S tarbucks m ultiple s tudyrooms a nd a mple c omputers. The new Kellogg library is hosting tours of the new building for members of the campus community. Grand opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, March 5, at noon, and will host a number of speakers and performing artists. "We welcome students to come in and explore on their own," said Melanie Chu, outreach and multicultural librarian. "We've got maps at the information kiosk, when you walk into the front, and we also have maps at the research help desk." Chu added that a more detailed map of the new library can be found on the research webpage. Class tours can be arranged by contacting the department librarian, or individuals can tag along on another tour. Those interested can contact either Chu, at extension 4378, or Gabriela Sonntag, coordinator, information literacy program, at extension 4356. Chu said that there are different tours happening, and clubs, committees, or individuals should contact her. The library is 200,000 square feet, hosts over 300 new computers, nearly 30 study rooms and 250,000 books. Starbucks can be found on the third floor, left of the main entrance.

The ASI support for an environmental class requirement is only one step to getting the proposed requirement to be mandated by the administration. The Environmental Action Group (EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus. "We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI arts & science representative. The next step for the environmental requirement will be for the Academic Senate to approve it. The Academic Senate is made up of faculty that evaluates and recommends new academic matters to the President of CSUSM.

What started as a family trip to Home Town Buffet Saturday, abruptly halted when a woman in a grey sedan struck their minivan. Though no one in the By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter The CSUSM nursing program, set to be operational by fall 2006, has received a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks to Congressman Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. The funds are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 2 2,2004. "I am proud to support the community coalition established at Cal State San Marcos to address San Diego County's nursing shortage by providing this $350,000 in federal funding through the FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act," Cunningham said. The money was requested by CSUSM to support the expenses of developing a nursing bachelor's degree program. If all goes as planned, by 2008 the first graduates of the program will be able to enter the workforce helping to alleviate local and national need for health care professionals. "As in hospitals all across the country, patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available staffed beds as a result of the nursing shortage. This program will train a new generation of nurses to serve our region," Cunningham said.

There will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials say that the controls have been effective in limiting enrollment. Although, there was a 45 percent increase in applicants to CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand is clearly there," said Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs. "But as the state reduces our funding, we are forced to limit admissions."

By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter As this semester's features editor, and I hope to incorporate national and international events into The Pride. This semester in the features section, we will host a column in which The Pride, along with the help of its readerships will explore national and international events. This week the topic of discussion deals with Hie exploration of Mars. I, who am personally skeptic of my own generation, was pleasantly surprised by the careful thoughts and insights of the fellow students I talked with. I have and always will, thought it important that we know what each other think about issues of importance. We live in important times, as will those who live after us. If you have an opinion you wish to express, or an event you would like to explore with us, e-mail the pride@csusm.edu (ATTN: University Voice). Please enjoy knowing this semester, though our column, what we learn from you. Brett Gladys Math major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think, I mean, what the benefits of it are a greater understanding of the world we live in. It is a lot better to have scientific backing for what you believe than to believe blindly in something. To have some sort of facts to back things up is sort of nice. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think if life somehow evolved to some extent on another planet, it would help us understand how it evolved on ours and if it evolved a different way. Maybe not using DNA the way ours is. It would be interesting and kind of lead us in the right direction of, and understanding of how we came to be. Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on mars? I am not so sure about the politics of Mars; the moon on the other hand is I think the proverbial lifting of the leg and pissing on everything to mark your territory. General comments? I think there are unseen advantages. I think that the Galileo was the satellite that saw the comet that hit Jupiter and we didn't know that was going to happen when we sent it out there. There could be unexpected benefits that we don't know about. I'm sure that political motives drive billions of billions of billions of dollars being spent, but there are other advantages there. Amber Davis Literature and Writing Studies major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think it put people's minds to rest to have actual proof instead of just theories like we always had. Theories that the world was round, but we never actually proved it until we went to space. We've only known for fact that the world is round for the past sixty years, right? Maybe we had theories about Mars and other places like that, but now we can maybe put people's minds to rest, and have actual proof and data. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think it is another place for man to go. It is the next natural place for us to go besides further into the ocean. We've seen what there is on land and earth, so why not go further? Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on Mars? Maybe so that we can say that we were the first ones to do it. Wasn't it the United States and Russia that had the race to get to the moon first? The same type of thing. Feel superior to get there first. General comments? I think probably money could be spent other places, put to better use. Conquering Mars and searching on Mars isn't going to solve any problems that we have. Did it really help anything? There are other things we could be doing. The whole education thing, and budget cuts, and people are going to Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter It's spacious, has lots of windows and a great view. No, this isn't the description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the new technologically savvy Kellogg Library. Isn't it the best when you start a new semester and there is a new building? This semester all of us are being greeted with a new library. The new Kellogg library is 200,000 square feet of caffeinated f un and adventure. Last Tuesday, January 20, the library opened its doors to the campus community. Checking out the new library was the first thing I did when I arrived on campus. Construction dust continues to settle during the library's first week of being open, and temporary signs guide students where and where not to go. Some of the signs are a little confusing, not everything is up and running and elevator access is a little barring. Taking the elevator to the first floor is sort of interesting. You step off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights hum. There aren't any windows here and there isn't much to see other than the writing center, math lab and classrooms full of students, lots of students. We went up to the second floor and meandered our way through the books and computer lab, getting a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to all of the new, not-yet-completed, conference rooms. We found our way out though, not to worry, and then, there it was, what I really wanted to find most of all—the media library. I owe some late fees at the video store in my town, so I have been hesitant to go in for a while. It is always nice to go where the rentals are free and you keep the video for a week. After feeding my film fix, my friend and I got on the elevator to take us to the third floor; the doors began to close when a man hopped in. He saw that we had already pressed the third floor button and relaxed against the cloth-covered wall of the elevator. We were all waiting for the doors to shut and begin moving up to the next floor. The doors began closing then reopening. A woman in her early twenties entered the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor. We smiled. "Is this the first floor?" asked the woman to the man. "No, no, I think this is the second floor. The main entrance is on the See LIBRARY, page 5 Campus police, and programs offered By NICOLE SULLIVAN Pride StaffWriter Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that in the third week of February she can host a date rape and sexual assault class at the University Village Apartments or the Field house. She wants the class to be comfortable and with food and a discussion type setting and is open to everyone. Officer Kayyon was hired in March and is excited to see the things that will take place on campus. Last semester the university police offered two Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshops which teach women about rape awareness, prevention and self defense tactics. The University police want to offer more RAD workshops this semester. This spring the university police wants to have a DUI booth with sight impaired goggles and sobriety tests. Chief Schulteis said, "We have two goals here as the campus police. One, is to protect the community by enforcing the law and keeping the education process uninterrupted. And, two, we want to teach the community how to better protect themselves from crime and hazards." Chief Schulteis also said that he wants more officers to get specialization certificates, which can aid the community about awareness. More workshops like RAD, date rape and sexual assault, alcohol awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered. Campus police also offers an escort service. A Community Service Officer (CSO), or an officer, will assist anyone to their car by simply calling extension 4567 at any one of the blue emergency phones located on campus. The escort service is there for anyone who needs it. Whether you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out to your car late at night or locked your keys in the car, a CSO or officer will be there to escort. \Officer Alex Mohn said, "We want to provide a better learning environment for the students and we want them to be able to come to school and not feel threatened. We don't want them to be afraid to call us and ask for an escort service. We want everyone to know that we are here to help the students and faculty." �L IBRARY from page 4 thirdfloor,"said the man. The woman said, "God, I was just asking a question." "Well, uh, I mean, uh, I think that the first floor is down and we are going to the third floor, which is the main level. Maybe that is the level you want." His tone was not sarcastic. He was probably being more helpful to someone who has serious anger issues than he needed to be. And then we all stood there in uncomfortable silence. I looked over at my friend and gave him the 'she is a psycho' face. He agreed. I then looked over and gave the man the same look. He responded by signaling to me with the 'I have no idea what just happened here' look. We all stood there in uncomfortable silence. We all arrived on the third floor. "I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking dick," said the woman. She seemed sort of flustered and tripped a little over the threshold as she exited. "I don't know what I said," said the man. "Hell if I know," I said. "But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots of drugs before coming to school." We all had a good chuckle and walked off in separate directions. The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I can only assume she was frustrated because she was lost and not because of the answer she got to her question. P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR: Maybe she was lost because not all posted in the ' RESTROOMS library are perfectly clear, yet. My friend and I prior to getting on the elevator were lost ourselves. Even a staff member we saw on the asylum-esque first floor warned us in passing not to get lost because it was easy to do. Her frustration does not, however excuse her bitchy demeanor.

ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter pondered their break. Kim said she didn't feel like she did anything at all, but upon further questioning the truth came out.

It's a chance to stash some cash towards the angina causing bookstore bill and the car payment size parking permit.

Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for the CSU By Cal St Univ Chancellor CHARLES B. REED Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had good holidays and that you are looking forward to your new classes. There have been significant developments on the state budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we know about the CSU budget. As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative hearings, we will need all of your help communicating with legislators to make sure that adequate funding is available so that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000 students. The governor proposed cutting $240 million or 9 percent from the California State University system for the 2004-05 fiscal year. This will potentially limit student access by approximately 20,000 students if the cuts are implemented as proposed. This new cut, combined with the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health. been cut in the past two years by $771 You probably have read or heard about million or a 28.8 percent reduction in state the governor's proposal to increase support for students. undergraduate fees by 10 percent, which .

Ifyou would like more information about the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit our website at http://www.calstate.edu/ BudgetCentral/index.shtml. The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our students. To continue to do so, we need all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff to convey a simple fact: that the CSU is working for California. We need everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if quality, access and affordability disappear from the California State University. We cannot let that happen. �m By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What better way to spend a Sunday night than to samba dancing at Café Sevilla? With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday night monotony so we ventured off to the Gaslamp district downtown. There, we found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining room that lured us back. We paid a $7 cover fee upon entering the club. Dance lessons had already started but we decided to join the fun, We could not help but laugh at the others and ourselves as we imitated a lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast as most modern dance moves, we tried our best to catch on to the samba choreography. Believe it or not, there is a proper way to shake your hips, and the variations of hip shaking are what make the samba come alive. It is possible that the instructor's bells contributed to the liveliness as well. The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we followed was very conducive to making the dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps and adding our own spice to the dance. It was refreshing to see that the others who surrounded us came in all different shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and confidence. An older gentleman brought his stuff with absolutely no concern for some comic relief with his bravado. Oppothe beat or particular style of the music. site from Eric and I, across the dance floor, On the other side, a group of college aged a goofy man in his late sixties was strutting girls looked as if they were rehearsing for the band to play. There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries and apples, to compliment the evening. To our surprise, the band consisted of seven drummers. What kind of band is this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or some type of instrumental variation? We waited in suspense as we began to doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we came to the club on the wrong night. The music did not sound like the upbeat Latin tune that we had heard on the soundtrack to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort of culture shock that came over us, as we began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently, the others around us felt the same way, as nobody except for the goofy old man and an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing. After the first couple of songs, the beat of the drum began to grow on us, as we found our way shaking across the floor, with about thirty to forty others. With the exception of a couple of cocktail sessions in between, Eric and I found it difficult to refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it was not the typical samba music that we followed in the previous hour, or the sound and movement of Carmen Electra, but we experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket. Now, every Sunday night isfilledwith a touch of "little Brazil." Club Sevilla features live entertainment every night of the week. Brazilian night is every Sunday. Tuesday, Wednesday, . and Thursday, a salsa band plays live.

During his visit Chen will host a screening of his film S am C hen "Eternal Gaze," and he "will conduct eight workshops on the creative process of animation. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, Feb. 2 in Arts 240. The computer-animated 16 minute film created by Chen, with music by composer Jamey Scott, is the winner of numerous accolades including the Best Animation award at the Siggrapph 2003 ClryAZ^E » A. • O ' & E THE PRIDE Award winning animator brings film and expertise to CSUSM I T -- M S Electronic Theater. Animation has been a medium often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures. "Eternal Gaze" is different. This film chronicles the life of a real man. Chen's film pays homage to Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) a brilliant twentieth century surrealist sculptor, painter and draftsman who never received the acclaim of his contemporaries. In a statement Chen said, "With careful attention to historical facts and details, the works of art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from Giacometti's lifework.. .But most of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt story and a loving tribute to one of the greatest but least recognized artists of our time." Giacometti, like many artists, suffered from a tormented mind. It gave him the inspiration and talent to create. At the same time, it frustrated him to the point of destroying his art when he felt he could not achieve his artistic vision. While giving us a look into the artist's mind and environment, "Eternal Gaze" illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator and his creation. Giacometti's sculptures were his love. In this film Chen givQS those sculptures the life they need to love him back. For an opportunity to learn from Chen, students, staff and faculty should contact Kristine Diekman at kdiekman@csusm.edu to reserve a seat in the workshops he will be hosting. Chen will be sharing his knowledge of story and character development, storyboarding and how to study human movement in order to animate it. He will also speak about how to work as an independent filmmaker Photo Courtsey of www.eternalgaze.com including pitching ideas, sell- Alberto Giacometti's face as painstakingly created by S am ing yourself and getting your Chen, director, writer and animator of "Eternal G aze." film seen.

Photo by Ben Roffee/The Pride "Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community The intersection of Craven Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos S heriffs Department notified CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city residents, the s heriffs department plans to focus more attention on the intersection. The s heriffs department aims to enforce all vehicle codes, but more specifically, they plan to focus on violations of Vehicle Code 22526, also known as the Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola- tion costs approximately $150. University police are currently focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs department requests assistance in patrolling the intersection, then university police will o ffer its support in the matter as well. Drivers violate the code when "they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go through but they cannot make it all the way through the light and it t urns red.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer Monthly Program Continues its Multicultural Educational Forums Thursday, Feb. 21 —' The Center for Border and Regional A ffairs hosted a screening of the f ilm, 'Maquilapolis: City of Factories' followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Sergio D e L a Torre and promotoras, Hispanic community outreach workers, f rom Tijuana featured in the film. There are currently about 4,000 maquiladoras across the Mexican border. Eighty percent of the labor force in maquiladoras (factories) are women. Women are o ften preferred over men because they are "cheap, docile and have agile hands." The average maquiladora worker receives $11 p er day. "We are simply objects of labor," said a f actory worker in the film. To create the film, filmmakers collaborated with f actory workers in Tijuana, community organizations in Mexico and the United States to illustrate globalization through the eyes of the women at the center of t he industry. The film f ocuses on the devastating impacts of globalization on its f actory workers and the environment. Filmmakers provided the women with cameras and taught them how to shoot. For five years t he women documented their daily lives. The film concentrated on the abandoned f actories and toxic waste products dumped throughout the com- munity. " Tijuana is nobody's trashcan," exclaimed one f rustrated worker in the film. Although 'Maquilopolis' stresses the f act that globalization provides corporate f reedom to move around the world in pursuit of cheap labor and lenient environmental regulations, it also shows that workers can organize ways t o demand appropriate law enforcement successfully. In t he film, many of the women were fighting back against the companies they worked for. Carmen D uran and her coworkers filed suit against Sanyo Electric Company for their entitled severance pay when the company abandoned their f actory in Tijuana and moved to Indonesia. At t he end of t he film, their case settled and they received severance pays ranging f rom $1000-$2000. A fter the screening, CSUSM faculty member, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, introduced De La Torre and three promotoras to a round of applause f rom the lecture hall. The featured guests were met with a multitude of questions stemming f rom the film. J )irec|or : Sergio De La Torre served a s translator for the promotoras.

The T hinking Outside the [lunch]Box series is a monthly forum facilitated by Cal State instructors and/or guests to have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic is: "Are you passing?" "Passing is a sociological concept which refers to members of a racial group being accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Facilitating this event is Dr. Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington, a graduate student of CSUSM. With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators with a willingness to learn, this event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get involved, let their voices be heard, and make connections. "Statistics say that students who form relationships outside of classrooms are more likely t o graduate and continue on to grad. school and these venues provide opportunities to make connections and social support groups outside of the classroom," states Franklin. The forum coordinators are looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have. "It would be a good place to meet people that have different opinions about 'passing'. It's an avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross Cultural Center.

Miller f urther suggests that by increasing awareness of these times Cougars can arrive at alternate times to reduce the problems associated with peak traffic congestion. "Nobody parks in X, Y, or Z lot. Very few students park in upper or lower B lot. If people managed when they came onto campus and parked on B, X, Y, and Z lots then they would reduce a lot of traffic. They pass open spaces. If we can get people to show up on non-peak times and park in other spaces, it would greatly reduce t raffic," said Miller.

Some organizations are doing their part to help out the children affected by the fires, providing them with school supplies, clothing, and other essential items for everyday living. Monetary items are not the only things that people are donating. The San Diego Fire Recovery Network (SDFRN) provides preventative safety information, with the belief that knowledge plays a huge role and should be shared with the people of Southern California. This organization believes that people can create a better living environment by learning how to prevent another horrific fire f rom occurring. SDFRN holds wildfire update meetings in order to inform the public about the current recovery process. The network also holds field trips that teach the community how to preserve the wildlife around them.

One BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer We have all seen it, but have only spared a glance in its direction as we just continue on our merry way to Cougar Central or the University Store. It is that one lone room on the third floor of Craven Hall right across the hall from the plethora of murals. It is room 3400-A—better known as the Cross Cultural Center—a place that is warm and open to anyone looking for a multicultural and sociable experience. Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, describes it as, "A physical space to relax, with access to computers, printers, and a multicultural library to help them academically. It is also an area where you can critically discuss issues of multiculturalism and diversity." The Cross Cultural Center is an accepting environment with a multitude of different students who go there to relax, do homework, or simply take a break fj-om class to be with friends. Furthermore, with a courteous staff of Student Peer Educators whom have an extensive knowledge of the environment and a host of diversity programs, there is much to learn from them as well as C3's visitors. "I love being a part of the growing diversity on campus and giving other people the opportunity to interact with other cultures," says Auriel Dice, a Student Peer Educator in the C3. The academic and personal growth aspects of C3 are valuable to one's growth as a person, and what better way is there to learn, than to learn while having fun? With the combination of a set of large, red, and very comfortable couches as well as a giant 42" plasma ^screen, it is paradise for any student who wishes to relax while watching the news or Discovery Channel. Along with the connections that the visitors and staff of the C3's bring, the center is also conveniently connected with the Student Life & Leadership office (SLL), home to Orientation Team, Greek life, and 80+ other student organizations. "So many different people come in and just hang," says Kevin Chatham, Student Peer Educator of C3, "It's a friendly place with a lot of laughs and smiles." With its warm atmosphere, welcoming environment, and room to relax, learn, and grow, the Cross Cultural Center is a room on campus that should be visited regularly. In addition, having made a multitude of lifelong friendships in that office myself, it'd be hard to not find me in C3 regularly. .of the most similar 'cheap' alternatives is the COBY MP-C582 Clip MP3 Player. The MP-C582 is a 1GB player with all of the rudimentary functions of the iPod Shuffle, though marginally less attractive. The COBY player retails for as low as $25, but has received sub-par reviews relating to the aesthetics and dependability. One of thé more popular alternatives is the Creative Zen V. The Zen V 1GB player sports a $59.99 price tag and boasts a 1.5-inch color screen. The price tag along with fact that the device has a screen makes it one of the more desirable choices among the vast sea of lowcapacity MP3 players.

Melanie Niedens would say that energy drinks "play a huge role on campus". At any point during the day, a student is able to quickly make up for those few hours of sleep they missed by popping open a Monster. But does a highly caffeinated, artificiallyflavoredbeverage really fill the void? Its hard to tell at this point, since the long term effects of the energy drink craze has not yet been fully observed. It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that are made available to students on campus at CSUSM. When asked about a healthy alternative, Nie- dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an organic, naturally caffeinated tea reminiscent of a green tea flavor. Yerba Mate has just recently been made available for purchase in the Cougar Corner. Another alternative to gain just a bit of energy and or focus is Vitamin Water. Also according to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our number one seller". This reassuring fact proves that most students are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick up.

His worn blue eyes, grey hair and grizzled voice emitted a sense of familiarity that could send you back in time f ifty years ago. In those days, families would load up their vans with tents and surfboards and take a weekend drive to relax and enjoy unscathed vistas of the 3.5 miles of cool ocean breeze and sandy shores. It's one of the benefits living there in this area - being able to enjoy a great number of outdoor activities like running and hiking trails or simply watching surfers and wildlife as they crash up and down waves. As he continued speaking, he would go on to mention how much of a blessing the land is as well as the entire state park system of California, like this one in San Onofre. It would be a shame that if many years from now, asphalt highways obliterated the natural settings only to save commuters countless hours stuck in traffic each year. Though softly spoken, his words resonated with the importance of maintaining this natural reserve and how simply laying pavement over them cannot solve problems. Some things are better left in nature's hands and simply be left untouched by the hordes of politicians and developers. The name of this man, for those curious, was Clint East- wood. As the epitome of the California surf culture, beachgoers and surfers always speak with high regard about the pristine qualities of San Onofre State Beach ~ particularly the area known as Trestles Beach. It houses numerous breaks that range from beginner sets, to some of the finer breaks here on the west coast. These wetlands that are situated right on the Oceanside and San Clemente border maintains an environmentally-friendly surrounding, untouched by land developers, and one of the few of its kind that exists along the California coastline. Even though this state paik is the fifth-most visited amongst the 278 state parks in California—frequented by surfers and swimmers alike for its famous surf spots—it doesn't just cater to them. People come in their campers and trailers looking to admire a beautiful sunset along a spot on the beach. Trestles Beach is also a natural reserve that serves as home to numerous flora and fauna. Inaccessible by vehicles, thrill seekers usually park their cars off the side of a road and trek through a long, winding trail from either the upper or the lower ends of the state park to find this hidden gem of a surf spot. For local Marines stationed in nearby Camp Pendleton, the area serves as a getaway from their dayto-day functions throughout the week, providing a little rest and relaxation. For them, Trestles is an introduction t o the Pacific surf culture, and for some, it's the first beach they've ever seen. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that makes Trestles widely adored within the surfing community; earning its name as the Yosemite of Surfing. Annually, the area is host to world-class competitions hosted by the Association of Surfing Professionals, such as last year's Boost Mobile Pro, and events by the National Scholastic Surfing Association. Yet, for all of its prestige, Trestles has seen its share of lingering and potential issues that threaten its serene shores. The last several years have had locals galvanizing a debate over the latest issue that involves expanding a proposed toll road (an extension to State Route 241). The extension would connect Orange County and San Diego with the construction ofa six-lane highway, and it is estimated to cost somewhere around $875 million dollars to fund and help alleviate some of the traffic nightmares on Interstate 5. The main goal is to cut down gridlock for commuters who cross the borders into San Diego County daily In January, Gov. Schwarzenegger and a handful of other officials threw their support behind the proposed project and generated even more intense interest over the possible solutions, if any. A 16-mile expansion would cut right through the state park and end right before hitting Trestles. Environmentalists and activists groups SPRINTER March 9,2008 argued that a highway of such magnitude would endanger wildlife and eliminate miles ofhiking and biking trails, reduce campground areas and increase the amount of polluted runoff into the park's watershed, not to mention the loss of a world-class surf spot. This is the first proposed project of its kind to have a highway run through any state park. Anytime commuters hear of a proposed solution to end gridlock, they generally jump on the opportunity to listen. Today, roughly 125,000 vehicles pass through the area each day. According to a study done by the Transportation Corridor Agencies based out of Irvine, an estimated trip down the Interstate 5 corridor could take almost an hour to get through by the year 2025. Earlier this month in Del Mar, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing and listened to the implications and concerns of the expansion's opponents. The crowd of more than 3,000 supporters provided testimonies and after 12 hours of deliberation, the CCC voted 8-2 against any proposed highway through San Onofre State Park thunderous cheers of approval followed the decision. The majority of the supportersrepresentedthe "Save Trestles" campaign, which for years battled against such an expansion. The Commission concluded that aspects of the project simply failed to meet with California coastal regulations, and is simply inconceivable. Mainly, the reason for this ruling by the panel was due to inconsistencies the project had with the law, raising concerns for both the region and social responsibility. Peter Douglas, the executive director of the CCC, said, "This toll road raises fundamental questions about what kind of environmental and social future we want for our coastal communities, our families, our children and theirs." Though the locals won this battle, the war is still farfromover-Orange county lobbyists have not conceded defeat over this loss. The proponents of the state route expansion intend to appeal to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to overrule the Commission's ruling. According to Thomas Margro, the Foothill/Eastern Corridor Transportation Chief Executive Officer, "This project is the best option for relieving traffic congestion with the least amount of impact on communities and the environment." Still, the debate remains strong whether a highway through a state beach like the one threatening Trestles Beach is the best solution. Opponents to the highway expansion suggested studies that involve expanding Interstate 5 using innovative designs that would accommodate traffic. Through the debate though, one thing remains clear: Trestles Beach is a California icon. If you've only been fortunate enough to drive through the area, you 'are missing out on something truly breathtakingr ../ kmtmmm 6 A U T S H O O M N 6M» R D A E C O L F A AE E LEARN ABOUT EARNING YOUR M BA AT T HE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE A .

Pride Investigates: Top 5 dirtiest places on campus BY AMY SALISBURY Pride Staff Writer According to the Center for Disease Control, the 2007-2008 Flu Season is one of the worst on record. Some U.S. health officials believe the severity is due to an ineffectivefluVaccine while others say the influenza strain's increasing antiviral resistance is to blame. Either way, bacteria and viruses are virtually inescapable. Avoidance combined with prevention seems to be the best way to steer clear of infection. But what to evade? The following list draws from numerous medical studies and professional opinions to try to shed light on what are most likely the grimiest places on our campus. 1. Drinking Fountains More like a rather large Petri dish. Robert Donofrio, PhD, director of microbiology for NSF International, found as many as 2.7 million bacteria on any given square inch of a public water spigot (compared to a measly 49 on a public toilet seat) through an independent study conducted in 2005. The reason for the incredible amount of bacteria is because the faucet is always wet, creating one marvelous environment for E. coli, staphylococcus, and a whole host of other tummy-turning microorganisms. If you must, run the water for about 15 seconds before taking a sip as a way of clearing a portion of the existing bacteria. 2. Classrooms That'sright.Those things you're stuck in all day. University of Arizona researchers found that classroom desks have 20 times the amount of bacteria as you would find on an ordinary workplace desk; 7 times that of a doctor's office. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," says Charles Gerba, microbiologist. A classroom desk has the capacity to support 10 million microorganisms at any given time. What's more, the desk you're at can keep a cold orflubug viable for 72 hours, long enough to transfer them to several people. Antibacterial wipes can offer much appreciated peace of mind; they do kill 99% of surface germs. 3. Restroom Doors Think about it. Every single person going in or out of the bathroom has to touch the same place. As said by the American Society of Microbiologists, approximately 68% of people actually wash their hands before leaving the restroom. So, that means that nearly one third of people have the ability to transfer the urine and fecal matter from several people to the restroom door, giving everyone the opportunity to share in the excitement. Lovely. Rule of thumb: say your ABCs while you wash your hands as a good 20 seconds will cleanse thoroughly. 4. Stair Handrails It's no secret that CSUSM has Considering a Career In Physical Therapy?

UNIVERSITY OF ST: A UGUSTINE RSYP by visiting our website www,usa,edu/fle% or catling Mary Noor at 1-866-557-3731 a rather hefty number of stairs on campus, which provides an unusually high prospect for germs to be exposed to a number of students. Microbes open to the elements are able to survive for about two hours on the metal, non-porous painted stair rails. As frightening as it is, researchers have found everything from streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella and shigella (the culprits behind dysentery), and even blood harboring hepatitis A. When it comes to a surface as common as stair railing, all I can say is this: just don't touch. 5. Vending Machines Essentially, outdoor things with buttons on them are ghastly. If you buy your parking permits by the day, that keypad you touch can have 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Maybe you've decided to bypass the drinking fountain for bottled water. A vast improvement, yes, but the array of germs on the outside of the machine could trans- fer from the button, to your hand, to the bottle top, right on into your mouth. Not only that, but paper money is one of the dirtiest things you can handle. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers come in quite handy in these situations, but be careful as overuse can cause your immune system to weaken. As simple as it may seem, proper hand washing technique is truly your best defense against infection. If the faucet isn't automatic, use a paper towel to turn it on. The soap you use doesn't need to be antibacterial, but you must lather well, being sure not to ignore your wrists or forget about your fingernails. After about 20 seconds rinse thoroughly, and choose a paper towel over an air dryer, as it can blow bacteria all over your freshly washed hands. Don't rely on the alcohol-based hand sanitizers either; there's no substitute for soap and water. �gramming language.

SUNDAY Men's Golf % Point Loma Invitational �UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The best fight of 2008 could come as early as March 2 as Anderson "The Spider5' Silva and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a Champion. Silva, who sits atop the summit of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, seeks to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent welterweight belt from the now defunct Pride promotion (Pride welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions). "The Spider" entered the UFC in 2006 and has dominated the middleweight division with his devastating stand up game. A product of the famed Brazilian "Chute Box" team, Silva is an expert in Muay Thai and also received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend, Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera. On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the middleweight belt, knocking out the champion halfway into the first round. Since then, Silva has reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his title against Travis Lutter, Nathan Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in his most recent fight, a rematch. Prior to his current UFC reign, Silva held the Cage Rage middle- weight title from 2004 to 2006. If there is only one middleweight contender in the world that can beat Anderson Silva, it is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently proven himself to be a top-tier fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205 lb. divisions. From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously held the welterweight (185 lb.) and middleweight (205 lb.) titles. Most recently, Henderson lost a hard fought, five round battle for the UFC light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva, one of the most ruthless fighters in the history of MM A. The Fight: Silva can expect a f ull five round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one of Silva's greatest strengths is his Muay Thai clinch, he should really avoid allowing Henderson to close the distance. The best place for Silva to win this fight will be standing up, delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker as Silva may be, Henderson's Photo by Ben Roffee / The Pride granite chin will make it difficult for Silva to knock him out. Silva needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out Henderson. Although Henderson has never shied^ away from the stand-up game, he needs to keep in mind that Silva is one of the deadliest strikers in the business. Should he stand with Silva, Henderson should keep him in close prox- imity, where Silva's kicks, knees, and jabs are much less effective. Henderson will also find it much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight and his greatest defense against Silva's powerful knee strikes. Taking the fight to the ground where Silva is not as effective in dealing damage should be a key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend his title into the late fourth and fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the fight. Prediction; Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

But this week I want to talk about two great players who found a way to cheat the system and maybe the legal system. Both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have put up unbelievable numbers over the years in the pros, but those numbers appeared to be tampered. Bonds, the single season and career homerun leader in Major League Baseball, may have found a way to cheat the legal system like he has cheated baseball all these years. Bonds' legal team has found typos in the filing by prosecutors. Now Bonds may have found his scapegoat in perjury . and obstruction of justice charges. A typo in notes stating that Bonds failed a drug test in 2001 was the mistake, when the player called "Barry B." failed a drug test in 2000 in the BALCO reports. Here is my issue. Bonds you cheated, you got caught, now face the wrath. I understand that you deserve a fair trial and that you College Lif© BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every high school student dreams of graduating senior year and heading off to a new life in college, f ull of partying, meeting new people, getting a higher education, and of course no parents. Some schools have the reputation of being party schools; others have the reputation of being strictly education only. To be honest I didn't hear much about Cal State San Marcos other than that it was really new and I could get a good education. I moved down here from South Lake Tahoe, which is a real small town, especially compared to Southern California; so needless to say, it was a bit of a culture shock. My sister went to SDSU and it definitely had a great social atmosphere. When I moved here, I didn't get the same feeling; the city of San Marcos was no college town, to say the least. The longer I live here the more I notice that San Marcos is having trouble accepting that it is becoming a college town. I had heard that when San Marcos was first developing, it was a retirement community and now the older population is slowly being replaced by much younger families and college students. With all the rules and laws it looks like the transition from retirement community to college town is going to be a rough one. It seems as though the City of San Marcos is trying its best to make sure this town isn't "overrun" by college students, which is start- ing to really get to me. Anyone who lives in San Marcos or goes to this school knows that every year it is growing and bringing youth with it. Many like me whose home is too far to obviously live there and still attend CSUSM. So then arises the question: where do we live? There are the dorms which can only house so many, but other than that college students have to live off campus in residential areas f ull of families, which is you ask me is terrifying to any adult. So we move into houses and apartments and within the month—especially where my roommates and I live—there are already complaints. We party too much, we're up too late, there are too many cars parked outside, we're too loud, it goes on an on. The question is how do we solve this problem? I don't enjoy annoying the neighbors or making them mad, no one should, but we have no options but to live where we can, which happens to be next to families and older people. With many of the housing restrictions, it is hard to find places where you and a few roommates can live without bothering any neighbors. I feel that many adults see college students a's a problem, and yes, socially we can be at times, but we bring change. Whether it is a good change is hard to say right now, but this city will never know unless they give it a Chance. All I ask is that we are accepted with open arms and that this city can find a way to balance both its old ways and its new. A T ale Of TWO T ales want to be charged for a lesser Crime. But you lied under oath about taking steroids and you deserve to be punished for that. Face the facts, your defense might of caught a break in arguing for a fair trial, but it's to give up. You fought the law and the law is about to win. And stars and athletes can tell you about this decade; it is not paying to break the law. As for Clemens, give up the act. At first I didn't want to voice an opinion against you. But there is evidence and testimony that state that you were lying under oath and you deserve to go under to be in the same seat as Bonds. But now there is a photo of Clemens at the Jose Canseco party in 1998 that he wasn't at according to his testimony. Not just that, there is also testimony by his former friend and trainer Brian McNamee that Clemens approached him shortly afterwards about using steroids. Just looking at the 2000 season of Clemens should be evidence enough that he was using steroids. Early in the season he hit Mike Piazza in the head with a fastball. Then he knocked down Alex Rodriguez and argued about it afterwards. Then in the World Series, Piazza breaks his bat and Clemens throws it in Piazzas general direction clearing the benches as Piazza and Clemens exchanged finger pointing and words. All I am getting at is a clear history of a lack of anger management which is one of many side effects to using the juice. Clemens used it at some point in his life, if not for most of his later career. Now it is^pnly a matter of time before we have a new perjury and obstruction ofjustice case against Clemens. This makes Bonds and Clemens on the same boat of trying to cheat the system, being caught and more than likely failing to get into Cooperstown.

In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume who would win for the men, though it was no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be Blood' and rightly takes his second Best Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's performance in 'No Country' is the best this year. He became the first Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best Supporting Actor. Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best Animated Film. However, it really did not matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed winner for Best Picture, and did just that. This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best Director. Though there was little surprise in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It was also great reminder of movies I still need to see. I hope that those who won or just received nominations continue to bring quality entertainment. Saturday night with Levi Levi goes 'Across the Universe1 BY LEVI MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Do you ever find yourself scanning the video aisles searching for a movie to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is over. In this column you will find my weekly recommendations on demand, satisfying your every movie desire and much more. "Across the Universe" is a movie that takes the era-defining music of The Beatles and portrays a story of love, passion, and chaos in the form of a musical. Now rather than describe the film chapter by chapter, I will go as far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both admirers from the past to indulge and sing-along while captivating new ones from the present. The main character, Jude, a young adult from Liverpool, travels "across the universe" in search of answers, running into situations and people that change him dramatically. The film utilizes music to define an era of war and radical change in society, but most importantly, it helps illustrate the importance of love and cherishing those special bonds of friendship. The film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary. The music of The Beatles changed the face of the earth. By creating such a drastic change in people and society, The Beatles did what other bands had never done before. Hopefully this film entices you adequately enough to rent it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at dinner conversations. Improving 'Oscar' nificance that viewers may not understand.

Thus, I have a few suggestions nations should not be ignored. Finally, F think there should be a failsafe to make the awards better: First, separating men and women in most system for the Oscars to give out awards occupations is a criminal offence.

Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont. The brewery sits in a valley in the Green Mountains which have peaks over 4,000 feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997. The brewery holds multiple awards for its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified the brewery as gluten-free. The cardboard container holds six lucid green glass bottles. Lime green dominates the majority of the packaging while a forest green accents "edges. A cute little marmota, similar to a squirrel, sits on a rock stuffing his fuzzy cheeks with a granny smith apple on a green plain underneath a light blue sky. The bottles contain the same graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo. The cider pours smooth with no head. A thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale. It enters smooth and finishes powerfully, like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith apple infused cider really bites in the end, similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor on the tongue after passing through to the abyss and beyond. The light and unique flavoring of the cider should pair well with a light lunch e.g. club sandwich and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g. vanilla ice cream. Perhaps a treat for your significant other, loving family member, or a break from ordinary beers, experience the fruitfulness of Woodchuck Cider. unusual to get an order without sauce", You just got out of your late afternoon and I tell her class.
