N EE DN T DN
Tuition rises 9 percent for fall 2012
T uition fnr Cal State San MarTuition or P al Qtat^ Qon A/To*.
cos students will rise another 9
percent next fall as the result of a
budget vote last week by the California State University Board of
Trustees.
At a raucous meeting in Long
Beach on Nov. 16 - where student
protestors disrupted the meeting
by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve
a budget that will raise tuition by
$498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012.
CSU tuition has more than
doubled since 1999, when it
was $2,572 per student. Over
the years, tuition hikes covered
budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2
billion budget for 2012-2013 is
smaller than the $2.14 billion
budget in 1999, even though there
are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees
reported.
University officials anticipate
the latest tuition increase will be
the last for the 2012-2013 school
year - even though the state may
cut the CSU budget by another
$100 million if year-end tax rev-

enues come up short.
"If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion
would be $2.5 million," said Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman
Margaret Lutz. "We have some
ideas on how to keep those cuts
from negatively impacting students or instruction."
She said this may include shift-
cuts, growing class sizes and a
wage freeze caused by statewide
budget cuts.
Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said
the protest drew a small crowd of
students, including a few who
joined in.
Last week, faculty at the CSU
East Bay and Domínguez Hills
campuses held a one-day strike,
the first in CFA history, Barrett
said.
"We've never struck before,"
he said. "In the past, we had to
threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this
time we felt we needed to go qn
strike. I want to be clear, the strike
was not over the lack of a contract
but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract.
The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly." Photo courtesy of Don Barrett

Native American H eritage Month
celebrated with new facility
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM opened the California
Indian Culture and Sovereignty
Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in
the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native
American activities on campus
and collaborate with California
tribes.
"There is simply no other place
in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the
opening speech.
November is Native American
Heritage month and the CICSC
is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern
California. It is a meeting place
for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other
outreach and development programs.
"With the opening of this center
we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once
again at Cal State San Marcos,"
President Haynes continued.
The CICSC addresses Native
Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they
most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the
first center dedicated to Native
Americans in the CSU system.
There are more than 10 student
members of AISA and they aim
to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other
American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the
Pauma Indian Tribe said.
"Native American peopled
dreams are just as important as
anybody else's," Chairman James
Ramos said, the first Native
American to be appointed to the
California Board of Education.
Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC
director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run
the Native American Advisory
A mountain lion was spotted on
campus Wednesday night. It was
the fourth time in five years that
the big cats have been seen on
university property.
About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus
police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at
the south end of campus. When
they responded, police spotted the
mountain lion, or cougar, heading
back up into the hills near Lot F,
according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz.
Lutz said it was the first time a
mountain lion had been seen on
campus since October of last year
(lions were also spotted several
times at the south end of campus
in 2007 and 2008) .
'With so much open space in
the area, we have a lot of wildlife
that comes on campus at nights
looking for food. People say
they've spotted deer. The moun^
tain lions always seem to show up
in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said.
Cougars are native to the area
and CSUSM's official mascot.
The campus is built on Luiseno
Indian laud. The university's
original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno.
Although there's never been
a dangerous encounter between
a mountain lion and students or
faculty, Lutz said the California
Department of Fish and Game is
advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If
you encounter a mountain lion,
do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but
stand your ground, wave your
arms and make noise to scare it
off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a
cell phone at 760-750-4567.
Council, the only one of its kind
in the CSU system. In six months,
the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning
program for the Nintendo DSI.
The center has resources including workstations, offices and
research capabilities to focus on
concerns and issues regarding
tribes or Native American students.

Internationally-acclaimed poet reads at CSUSM
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Poet Clayton Eshleman was
featured as the last part of the
fall semester's Community and
World Literary Series (CWLS)
on Thursday.
Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much
praise as having been at the heart
of American poetry since the early 1960s.
Eshleman has contributed to the
literary world through his own
poetic production and the trans-
lating of poems from poets Cesar
Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri
Michaux.
Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading
nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting
of an experience he and his wife
had in Italy.
Following the first poem, he
shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been
reading and writing it.
Between poems, Eshleman
would often share anecdotes and
personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer.
"I write a lot of poems about art
or artists," he said, sharing how
if he had been turned to the left
or right, he would have been a
painter.
Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational,
especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue
between himself and the artist
Max Ernst. His imagery, at times
graphic, led to much laughter in
F eatures
the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even
Eshleman laughed through some
his own words as he read.
During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached
included when Eshleman started
writing, his view of surrealism,
thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and
the importance and influence of
travel.
Dr. Wallace, who headed the
series, felt that this semester's
CWLS was beneficial for students
because he brought in writers normal literary exposure.
The CWLS will begin again in

No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight
Helps raise money for cancer research
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wondered why men seem to neglect
their beards during the winter? Maybe as
their way of staying warm or in honor of a
tradition called No Shave November.
On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their
beards for the last time to grow out for the
duration of November. Most
men decide to grow out their
facial hair to support prostate
cancer awareness month. The
goal is to embrace hair and
let it grow to unimaginable
lengths. Since most cancer
patients lose their hair to
chemotherapy
treatments,
non-shavers can donate the
money they would normally spend to
maintain their hair to cancer research. No
Shave November is less expensive than
shaving every couple of days and is tax
deductible.
According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer
that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu-
ally occurring in older men."
In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720
deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate
cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to
End Prostate Cancer."
ZERO is a charity that not only wants to
reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease
entirely. Their main goal is
to lengthen the lives of men
who were diagnosed with
prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to
cure their cancer, manage
their illness and have a life
that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and
end their suffering.
This particular organization offers ways
to help raise prostate cancer awareness
as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a
chance to support organizations such as
"The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge &
DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

Downloading the effects of drugs
Controversy rises over sound waves that give feeling of being high
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Websites such as idosing.org, idoser.com and i-dose.us are selling audio tracks which provide
the listener with similar side effects of taking specific drugs.
These listening experiences are
known as "sonic drugs" and "idosing."
According to nbclosangeles.
com, "Sonic drugs work through
binaural beats ~ the playing of
two slightly different tones and
frequencies into both ears simultaneously/'
Many sites, including i-dose.us,
provide online shoppers with the
ability to purchase audio tracks
appropriately titled to the effects
they have on the listener. Some
tracks offered on the site include
"Deep Sleep" which is said to
help wijth sleep-related disorders,
"Quit Smoking" which helps the
listener to quit smoking and "Stop
Alcohol Abuse" which helps the
listener treat alcoholism.
While some tracks assist in
treating disorders and addictions,
there are also other websites
which offer audio experiences
that provide the effects of stimulants, both legal and illegal. Experts are advising caution when
approaching these audio tracks .
"It's not like you listen to an
i-dose for crack cocaine and the
next day you're smoking a crack
pipe [...] But I do think that if
you have an impressionable 13
- 14-year-old kid that does an idose, it may drop their inhibition
if they're presented with the real
drug to try it," addictions specialist Dr. Gregory Smith said in an
interview with Colleen Williams
of NBCLA.
One website that offers this legal listening experience is i-doser.com. Some of the MP3 tracks
sold on the site provide the listener with the effects of anti-depressants, inspiration and confidence.
However, some tracks are named
after and provide the listener with
the effects of illegal substances
including marijuana, cocaine and
LSD.

Seven out of ten Americans
claim Christmas as their favorite
holiday according to an Associated Press poll.
Well, that poll was conducted in
1981.
Sorry if that mislead you. However, I feel a little mislead by inferred holiday statistics, too.
Apparently, 100 percent of
Americans begin celebrating
Christmas before Halloween. At
least, that's what retailers seem
to claim. Some stores' Christmas
layaway began in October; so of
course, the deals begin by then.
Of course, your family has a large
Christmas list, so you'd better get
a head start.

Making Thanksgiving
Doholroh Hroon
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,"
Sally Brown said, "Why should I give
thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got
to be thankful for?"
Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think
about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful
for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times
when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful
for the opportunity I have to be in college.
Being thankful isn't the only thing people
do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that
we shouldn't be thankful any other day of
the year). It is also a time for people take
part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations.
-Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say,
food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a
big deal, especially once the holiday season
rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs
some statistics: practically two-thirds of
turkey from the U.S. last year originate
from just six states (with Minnesota as
the winner at 47 million) and 735 million
pounds of cranberries were produced in
the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ
from household to household, but many
remain almost universal in the U.S.
If there is a football fan present within
the house, that television will be on for the
game. If you aren't watching football and
you aren't able to attend in person, you're
probably watching the annual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New
York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people
are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything.
Thanksgiving has come a long way since
the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so
many people have made it unique to.their
own personal traditions and meanings. It
doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry
if you don't have an actual turkey, if you
can't stand football, if you forgot about the
parade or if none of these apply to what
you do. The heart of the matter is to make
memories that will stick for years.to come
and to take time to appreciate your life*.
You. don't have to think hard to answer
Sally Brown's question. There is always
something to be thankful for.

November makes m e nostalgic, but not just
for music of my distant past. These songs
may not seem like they belong together a t
first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of
memory, love, loss a nd hope.
A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how
sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from
the realities of our lives. It fits well with the
themes that I get from their album Funeral
- the dramatic a nd often sad switch from
childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay
w e see things b ack then seem to twist
around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps
some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun.
Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy
a nd almost playful while dealing with issues
of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e
w hen it remembers love.
"A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars
tells the stories of four different people in
three different situations (romantic, troubling,
etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are
or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed
unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread.
Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of
escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding
comfort in your own paradise. It definitely
makes you feel as though you are being
lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four
minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a
paradise of your own.
The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on '
this list as a song that c an literally take you
b ack to the past to w hen you would hear
it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite
albums. This track is nostalgia a nd h ope
w rapped up in o ne of the most memorable
songs I know.

his old Tanooki suit tail, which grants him the
power of a spin attack and brief moments of

the dazzling introduction of 3D to the mix.
Saints Row: The Third (PC PS3, Xbox 360)
"Saints Row: The Third" gives players the opportunity to become the leader of a gang
called the Third Street Saints. Players arrive in
the city of Steelport seeking to claim it for the
Third Street Saints. This entry in the series adds
experience points and leveling to give characters different perks. The game's over-thetop action and humor makes "Saints Row: The
Third" an interesting buy for those looking to
have some sandbox style fun.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations (PS3, Xbox 360)
This installment of the Assassin's Creed series
sees the return of thefirstmain character Altaic
as well as Ezio and Desmond. Players will travel

as the hookblade and creatable bombs.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
In this entry of the classic Legend of Zelda series, Link hails from the floating city of Skyloft.
There, he finds the Skyward Sword and sets out

Hopes for a "Colbert
Nation" come to an end
Short-lived presidential campaign ends
for talk show host Stephen Colbert
BY BILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The Robin Williams film
"Man of the Year" has become
very relevant the past weeks
as television star and political
know-it-all Stephan Colbert officially tried to run for president.
Though it was a running joke
that he and Jon Stewart would
run for the presidency, there
was no seriousness in this idea.
That is, until Oct.16, when Colbert announced he would run
for president on the Democratic
ballot in South Carolina.
A few weeks later, the South
Carolina Democratic Executive
Council rejected his candidacy
in a 13-3 vote. Given the nature
of his show on Comedy Central,
The Colbert Report, many felt
he would not be a serious candidate.
"The general sense of the
council was that he wasn't a
serious candidate and that was
why he wasn't selected to be
on the ballot," said Joe Werner,
director of the S.C. Democratic
Party.
Colbert's brief candidacy
raises important questions as to
whether or not someone with no
official government experience
could become president. His
candidacy has also drawn comparisons to both Ronald Reagan
and Arnold Schwarzenegger,
both actors turned government
leaders.
In less than a month the
"1,000,000 Strong for Stephan T
Colbert" Facebook group gained
almost 1.5 million members,
and continues to grow. But, he
certainly has had more appeal
to the youth of the country than
other possible candidates. This
has not gained just the interest
of the online community, but

been early authors of legislation
directed at regulating the very
practices addressed in the report.
Senator Yee's SB 190 passed
through Governor Schwarzenegger's office with a signature of
approval last month, requiring
all executive compensation packages to be voted in open session.
On Nov. 12, the California
Faculty Association released
its analysis of the findings in a
report titled, Weak Oversight
& Poor CSU Policies Favor
Executive Perks: An analysis of
the state audit of CSU compensation policies and practices.
CFA President Lillian Taiz cites
a "large expenditure of foundation funds to further compensate
already well-paid executives" as
yet another faulty executive compensation practice.
Despite these proclamations,
CSU officials rendered a much
more optimistic analysis of the
findings of the audit.
In a message to all CSU employees issued Nov. 6, Chancellor
Reed maintains "the findings
show that no policies were violated, and concludes that none of
the actions taken by the CSU were
inappropriate." According to the
Chancellor, "the CSU is open to
having audits because I believe
that audits give us the opportunity
to examine our policies and our
processes and improve them.
The CSU's official response to
the report states, "the CSU agrees
in nearly all cases with the auditor's recommendations."
* The marked polarity of these
responses suggests the debate
over executive compensation
practices in the CSU system will
endure for some time to come.
Given criticism of growing
executive salaries amidst gaping
budget shortfalls, this issue could
very well prove to be a point of
contention at the upcoming CSU
Board of Trustees Meeting.
The Trustees will meet this
week to discuss and vote on the
CSU's budget request. Among
their considerations, the Trustees
will be forced to reckon with Governor Schwarzenegger's recent
warning that the State budget
shortfall will increase by $2 billion. He also cautioned all State
departments to anticipate budget
cuts upwards of 10 percent.
Although CSU indicated they
"will be acting on some recommendations immediately and on
the others as soon as feasible,"
the meeting schedule released on
the CSU website does not indicate the Trustees will address the
findings and recommendations
of the audit report at the meeting
this week. However, the Trustees
have made official plans to discuss the matter when they meet
again in January.
sen poll placed Colbert ahead of
Republican candidate Ron Paul
and Democratic candidate Dennis
Kucinich. A similar poll placing
Colbert against Rudy Guiliani
and Hillary Clinton showed Colbert at 12% support, mainly in the
18-29 age bracket. It started as a
joke, but it was serious enough for
South Carolina to take action.
Though not made public,
another reason against letting
him run is the fact that, should
he win, it would take away elec-
toral votes from other candidates.
This would be similar to the situation in pre-civil war times when
Republican Abraham Lincoln
won as president because the
Democrats were split between
their north and south candidates.

�CSUSM honors veterans
Veteran's Day is a day of rememberance for
those at home and abroad
Native American Month
celebrated on campus
BY VIRIDIANA PACHECO-ISAAC
Pride Staff Writer
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
It was the 11th hour on the 11th day of
the 11th month in 1918, the signing of the
Armistice between the allied nations of
Germany had marked the end of "The
Great War," otherwise known as World
War I. Originally known as Armistice
Day, the 11th of November is what we now
call Veteran's day in the United States. It
is dedicated to remembering those who
have served in any of the five branches of
the armed forces.
At CSUSM, an event was held Thursday
during University Hour to commemorate
the holiday. However, for some CSUSM
students the day is just another reminder
of the struggles our men and women are
facing, both at home and abroad. With
Camp Pendleton—one of the largest military bases in the United States—just west
of campus, the population of military personnel and their families at the university
is strikingly high.
CSUSM Psychology major Bianca Reynoso said she finds her husband's deployments hard to deal with, especially on top
of having to deal with the stress of being
a student. She said she has been through
four deployments—three of which have
been to Iraq and one to Korea, and
insisted it is important to see the holiday
as more than just a day off from school
and work.
"They sacrifice a lot," she said. "In
other countries it is mandatory to be in
the military, but here it is optional."
Reynoso said that when her husband,
a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is
deployed it just adds to her stress because
"When he's gone I'm all alone, there is no
one to come home to, not to vent to about
my day," she said.
While CSUSM offers services for veterans at Craven Hall where Vets can come
for assistance with GI Bills and various
application processes, Reynoso said she
wished there was some sort of support
group for the families of those who have
someone fighting overseas.
"It would be cool if they had a group of
spouses," she said. "That way when your
husband is gone you can find support
from other people who are going through
the same thing."
November is Native American Month.
American Indian Student Alliance's
CSUSM chapter is hosting several events
to honor the occasion.
Several Speakers have been arranged
to speak on Native American culture.
Speakers include Earl Sisto and Mel
Vernon. Earl Sisto's discussion will focus
on urban and reservation life for Native
Americans at noon in the Forum Plaza.
Mel Vernon will be speaking on protecting and preserving Native American culture on Nov. 27.
Movies, produced by natives such as
"Smoke Signals, In the Light of Reverence," and "We are Still Here" are showing throughout the month. The two-time
Sundance award winning movie "Smoke
Signals" is playing at 4 p.m. in Markstein
Hall.
"In the Light of Reverence," afilmillustrating the struggles of Natives to preserve sacred rights is showing in Clarke
131 at 6 p.m.
"We are Still Here," a film exploring
the Cahuilla Natives from Southern California is playing in Arts 240 at 4 p.m. A
discussion panel will follow the viewing
of "In the Light of Reverence and We are
Still Here."
A basket weaving demonstration hosted
by Yvonne Trottier, will be held on Nov.
15 and the Texcatlipoca Dancers are performing on Nov. 29 at noon in the Forum
Plaza.
Claudia McCrane, president of the
AISA, said the purposes of these events
are to "honor Native American culture
and tradition as well as giving students an
opportunity to learn about their origins
and ancestry."
AISA is working together with the
Tribal Task force to help native families
who have been affected by the recent fires.
They are putting together a drive for food,
blankets, clothes, and bedding. In addition, AISA and the Tribal Task force will
provide a dinner for the 29 La Jolla families who lost their homes in the fires.
For students who are interested in getting involved throughout the year look at

iPhone Killer? The Googleverse is about to get a whole lot bigger
BY ELBERT'ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Apparently Google has borrowed a step
Microsoft - conquering the Internet just
wasn't enough for them.
Though there is not an actual, physical phone as of yet, the confirmation of
Google's step into the mobile market has
been met with both immense anticipation
and speculation. The hope is that consumers utilize their software to add new appli-
cations and upgrades to already existing
phones and future smartphones beginning
sometime next year.
Some of the early feedback on the project has already dubbed it the iPhone killer
because of Google's almost limitless innovations in software design and advancement.
"You will be able to do amazing things
with your mobile device that you had never
thought of before,", said Google Chief
Executive Eric Schmidt.
"This announcement is more ambitious
than any single Google Phone that the
press has been speculating about over the
past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful p latform w e're u nveiling w ill p ower
thousands of different phone models."
Among the companies that have thrown
their support include some of the big
mobile companies like LG Electronics,
Samsung, and Motorola. If these companies decide to implement the Google software, then that would get rid of the Windows Mobile Media which they have paid
to use. Google's platform would be free.
This platform is being tentatively called
Android and hardware and software support from over 30 companies. Qualcomm
Inc., the local telecommunications devel-
In today 's technology
oper based out of Sorrento Valley, is also
included.
Local providers Verizon, T-Mobile and
Sprint-Nextel also are building upon negotiations with Google to use their services
with their phones, a contrast to the exclusive contract that AT&T Wireless and
Apple has had to market their iPhone.
As the anticipation continues to build,
there has also been a share of detractors
who are also eager to call it a failure before
it even hits the market.
"When all is said and done, Google is
actually not a charismatic company that
can make this new platform happen in a
big way," commented John C. Dvorak, a
PC Magazine writer.
"The most successful [phone] looks to
be the iPhone, but much of that enthusiasm has to do with the mystique of Apple
and the promotion of the phone's "uniqueness." And the phone is indeed unique."
With already 3 billion cell phones out in
the market, such diversity could also open
new doors for Google as they want people
to use phones as easy as their other software. The first phone should be out sometime in the middle of 2008.

In October of 2004, the entrepreneurial spirit of then technology television personality, Kevin Rose, combined
with the creative minds of Owen Byrne,
Ron Gorodetzky, and Jay
Adelson came together
to form what would soon
become the web's top
community-based social
news website.
Digg.com
combines
aspects of social bookmarking, blogging, and
syndication to create one
of the best sources of
news on the web; for the
people, by the people.
The premise of Digg,
is that after users submit
links to news stories, the
stories are voted on (dugg)
by other users for content, relevance, and
interest. If a story receives enough votes,
it will be displayed on the front page of
the site. This method offers a variation
from the standard editorial system of
major news websites.
Digg categorizes submissions under a
number of categories, all of which include
sub-categores that delve deeper into the
specifics of an article.
The Main categories include: News,
Technplogy, Science, World and Business, Sports, Entertainment, and Gaming.
There fare also sections for Videos and
Podcast^.
¿ D iggcovers a hugely
broad range of headlines,
from "Linux wins Nigerian school desktops back
from Microsoft" to "Mark
Wahlberg will star in Max
Payne movie!"
Digg has been subject to a number of complaints, mainly centered
around the idea that the
users have too much control over content, thus
harvesting potential misinformation.
In early May, Digg
came under fire after a user posted an
encryption key for cracking the HD DVD
and Blu-ray formats. Digg took action on
the advice of lawyers and took down the
story. The Digg community revolted after
what was the site's first major sign of editorial, censorship, and banded together to
include the encryption key in
numerous front page submissions and comments.
The actions of the users
prompted this statement
from digg founder Kevin
Rose: "After seeing hundreds of stories
and reading thousands of comments,
you've made it clear. You'd rather see
Digg go down fighting than
bow down to a bigger company."
Digg takes out the
middle man and allows the
readers themselves to decide
what is interesting. Digg.com is revolutionizing the way news is delivered, read,
and perceived.

Chargers move intofirstplace with big win over Colts
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
The Chargers came into Sunday
night's game with a record of 4-4,
looking to capitalize on the Indianapolis Colts loss of momentum.
The Colts received their first loss
of the season in week nine against
the New England Patriots, in the
most highly touted game of the
season.
The Chargers struck quick and
held the lead, relying on their
superb pass protection, in front of
a packed and soggy Qualcomm
Stadium.
The Chargers came right out of
the gate with a bang, as Darren
Sproles returned the opening
kickoff for 89 yards and a touchdown.
Seven plays into the ensuing
Colts possession, Quarterback
Peyton Manning threw an interception to Chargers cornerback,
Antonio Cromartie.
Cromarte has made a name for
himself in the past four weeks,
intercepting six passes; three of
which were in Sunday night's
game.
Just under three minutes later
another Manning pass was intercepted, this time by linebacker,
Shaun Phillips.
Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding nailed a 33-yard field goal at
the 7:14 mark in the first quarter,
bringing the Chargers lead to
1 0-0.
After a three-and-out drive
by Indianapolis, Darren Sproles
returned yet another kick or a
touchdown, this time a punt for
4 5 y ards.
Later in the first, yet another
Manning pass was intercepted,
again by Antonio Cromartie.
Through only 15 minutes of play
Manning had already thrown
three interceptions.
22 seconds into the second
quarter, another Manning pass
was picked off by Cromartie,
making it Cromartie's third interception of the game, tying his
season total in just under 16 minutes of play.
The Chargers scored again
with 8:47 to go in the second
quarter, on a LaDainian Tomlinson four yard rush, pushing the
lead to 23-0.
The Colts finally got on the
board late in the second, as Manning passed to wide receiver*
Reggie Wayne for eight yards.
The Colts regained possession
in the final minutes of the second
quarter, as kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed a 44-yard field goal

as the final seconds of the quarter
passed.
The Chargers took a 23-7 lead
into half time, providing some
cushion for the unpredictable
Colts offense lead by Manning.
Manning's
unpredictability
continued into the third quarter,
as he threw his fifth interception,
this time picked off by linebacker
Matt Wilhelm.
The Colts comeback push
started early in the fourth quarter as Manning passed to reserve
running back, Kenton Keith for a
seven yard touchdown, then converted the two point attempt on a
pass to tight end, Bryan Fletcher.
On the ensuing possession,
Chargers quarterback, Philip
Rivers fumbled. The ball was
recovered by Colt's linebacker,
Gary Bracket in the end zone for
a touchdown. The Colts failed the
two point attempt, keeping the
score at 23-21, Chargers.
The Colts, down by just two
points had an opportunity to
take the lead with 1:30 left in the
game, and kicker, Adam Vinatieri
missed his second field goal of
the night. This kick was an easier
29-yard shot, and this time, costing the Colts the lead, and potentially the victory.
The Chargers narrowly escaped
the Colts after scoring no second
half points, on the way to one of
their biggest wins of the season.
The loss brings the Colts record
to 7-2.
The Chargers are now 5 -4 v
and have sole possession of first
place.
The Chargers travel to Florida
next Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 10:00 a.m. on
CBS.

in the Pacific Division with 17
points in 18 games, it would
seem like they wouldn't need
the help.
But the looks could be
deceiving as the Ducks have
played two more games than
the Dallas Stars and San Jose
Sharks who trail the Ducks by
one point. But with only seven
wins in 18 games, the Ducks
need help.
Niedermayer's free agent
replacement, Mathieu Schneider
recently returned from the injured
reserve and has helped spark the
team to a 3-1-1 record over five
games where he has two goals
and five assist in that span.
But if the Ducks want to make
a push in the playoffs, they will
need to find out what Niedermayer's plans are. Is he going
to retire, or is he going to return.
So they can make moves to
improve the team.
But the main hope is that he
will return to the team next
month, where he will earn near
$4 million of his $6.75 million
contract, saving the Ducks $2.75
million in salary cap room and
having a possibility to make a
move towards acquiring a possible star forward who will
become a free agent towards the

STRAWBERRY piELDS pOREVER
"Across the Universe" does the Beatles justice
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
It is a risky experiment to take the works
of a musical group and format them into a
musical. Broadway has done this well with
ABBA and Billy Joel in "Mamma Mia!"
and "Movin' Out", respectively. However,
there have been limited voyages into the
film medium. For the longest time, Pink
Floyd's "The Wall" has been the only entry
to speak of in this sub-genre. But thanks
to the work of director Julie Taymor, a fitting musical tribute has been made to the
Beatles in "Across the Universe".
"Across the Universe" is the story of Jude,
a 20-something British man, who travels to
America to meet his father. In the process,
he meets Max, a college student, and they
become friends after some 'American hospitality' and 'a little help from his friends'.
When Jude goes to Max's home for Thanksgiving, he meets his sister Lucy, with whom
he falls in love. Then begins the main plot
as the three travel to New York City to see
what life is all about.
Along the way they meet Sadie, a middle
aged club singer, Jo Jo, a guitarist who suffered through the Detroit City Riots, and
Prudence, a young women who discovers

she is different from other girls. These
characters share experiences in turbulent
1970s America.
All the while, 30 Beatles songs are masterfully splashed into the plot. Plus, the
cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Selma
Hayek, Joe Cocker, and others pack a
musical punch. But unlike recent celluloid
musicals, "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge",
"Hairspray", the main characters in this
movie are likely to be performers you are
not familiar with. The difference is they do
not go 'over the top' in their performances
and can flat out sing. For Beatles fans, this
movie has some surprises as songs lyrics
are woven into the dialogue and as you
may have guessed, the characters names.
When you take the music from the greatest group of all time and put it in a musical, it is no surprise that it would also be
great. This movie caused me to fall in love
all over again with some of my favorite
songs, and I now have the soundtrack on
my iPod constantly. Despite a few scenes
of weak dialogue, this movie is awesome.
It opened in select cities a while back, but
now is coming to local theaters, so check
your local listing. All you need is love,
and to see this movie.
Pub & Grill

Abita Brewing Company brews Purple
Haze in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita
Springs sits 30 miles north of New
Orleans. Currently, the company brews
over 62,000 barrels of beer and 3,000
barrels of root beer. Unlike most root
beer companies, the brewery uses sugar
cane as the source of sugar for their root
beer. The brewery has a diverse line of
brews including Turbodog which earned
number one beer in America by "Stuff
Magazine" in August, 2005.
The brewery proudly uses Abita pure
spring water that has been tested free of
manmade contaminants. The brewery
solely utilizes spring
water, malted bare1 e y,
hops, and yeast in all of their recipes.
The brewery does not use preservatives.
They also focus on being an environmental efficient company. The brewery
uses 70% less energy than traditional
brewing methods. They also maintain
a wastewater treatment plant and use a
specific packaging technique to ensure
the lowest usage of recycled paper as
possible. The depleted grain and hops
employed in the manufacturing process
feeds cattle for local Abita farmers.
Naturally, purple hues dominate the
cardboard packaging containing six 12
fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The
design of the content printed on the
packaging remains simplistic and elementary. The labels on the bottles contain the same format. However, a shiny
silver line adds charisma to the shades of
purple. A silver bottle cap with the word
"Abita!" stamped onto it caps a beer with
4.75% alcohol by volume.
The raspberry wheat beer pours
smooth with almost no head. Aromas
similar to raspberry champagne occupy
the surrounding atmosphere. The beer
also mimics the bright golden rays comparable to most champagne. The beer
sends tingling sensations to the tongue
and cheeks upon entry. A mellow sensation follows after the beer descends
onward. The beer has a more biscuit
flavor than raspberry flavor. Only briefly
between sip and swallow can traces of
raspberry be found. The brewers recommend enjoying the beer with salads or
light f ruit desserts. They even recommend enjoying the beer as a dessert after
dinner by itself.
For another delicious f ruit oriented
brew, consider sampling Pyramid's
Apricot Hefeweizen. Cheers!

The moment I walk into Hensley's Flying
Elephant Pub and G rill, I am greeted with
a warm and cheerful feeling. The décor is
a little rockabilly, a little California, punk
rock, and Irish. Powerful red walls and
black highlightsflowthroughout the restaurant.
Located on Tamarack Ave near the 1-5,
the pub is a quick jump off the freeway
and a walk from the beach. It possesses a
relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
There is usually something going on
every night of the week. Regular spots are
filled Wednesday through Saturday with
live music and Sunday is Happy Hour all
day.
Tuesday nights the pub features an eightball double elimination pool tournament.
Registration for the tournament is eight dollars and prizes are awarded to first, second,
and third place.
On Wednesday nights, Joe Wood and the
Lonely Boys entertain patrons with road-
house blues.
On Thursday nights, the owner, Matt Hensley, formerly of the band Flogging Molly,
and friends play traditional Irish music.
Saturday nights feature various artists and
often host philanthropic events to benefit the
local community. Check out the web site for
changes or special events at wwwhensleyspub.com.
Football and soccer are viewed on plasma
screens above the bar. In the back of the pub
is a dance floor and stage for special events
and parties.
The most popular dish on the menu is the
$2.95 fish taco. Entrees vary in price from
$5.25 for sandwiches to $15.00 for the Guinness battered shrimp. Throughout the week,
the pub offers specials on drinks and on Sundays the Happy Hour menu includes a variety
of dishes.
Music starts early so come around 7:30 to
enjoy the entertainment with dinner. If you
are looking for a relaxed evening with live
music orjust a good screen to watch the game
on, think about driving out to Hensley's and
enjoy one of Carlsbad's newest gems.
