California is the world's 12th largest producer of greenhouse gases. In order to combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state permission to regulate vehicle emissions in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan- dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators. California, along with 11 other states, sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the EPA was not protecting the environment enough, especially concerning greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, debate continues on how much greenhouse gases really affect global warming. Many, including those in power, insist that global warming is a fad. Some Job Fair at CSUSM Geico, UPS, AT&T, Target, SDPD, and many other businesses on hand BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer politicians bring up the fact that scientists were concerned with global cooling in the 1970s. According to some politicians, global warming is just the new global cooling. Scientists today have yet to agree conclusively on how much greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, though The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports with 100% confidence that global warming is occurring and with 90% confidence that it is because of human interference. On Wednesday, April 18, in Kellogg Plaza, the Career Center will host its annual career fair from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The job fair which is sponsored by CSUSM, North County Times, Enterprise, UPS, Capital Group Companies, Geico, and La Costa Glen Carlsbad, will have over 100 businesses on hand for students to apply. Some of these businesses include California Highway Patrol, Childcare Careers, Accountants Inc., Pacific Marine Credit Union, and Seaworld San Diego. Pamela Wells, associate director of the Career Center said that students should have their resumes on hand to distribute. She advised students to dress nicely, though it does not have to be in f ull fancy interview attire. Businesses will be on hand to attract students to careers and jobs. See EPA, page-2 See CAREER FAIR, page 2 EPA to regulate California's emmissions standards BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer On Tues. April 24, CSUSM will welcome nationally known speaker Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington. As a trainer and consultant on multiculturalism and multicultural organization development, Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington will lead a discussion titled, "A Dialogue: Intersections of Organizational Priorities and Social Justice Realities." The discussion will introduce a multicultural awareness as it focuses on the issues of social justice and will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Commons 206 and lunch is included. The Lunch discussion will examine multiculturalism and will provide studérrts and faculty with s kiffi to serve a diverse student population. �From L .E.A .D., page 1 THE (^PRIDE A second session titled, " Who am I? Isms, Identities, Inequities" will be held in the Clarke Field House over dinner f rom 4 to 9 p.m. All those expected to attend the latter will learn how sexism and gender relate to leadership, students will learn about their multiple social identities and that social justice is life long learning process. Students will learn how to create a collective vision along with intent and effect. The event will be hosted by LEAD, or Leadership Education and Development Team and is co-sponsored by Advisor Academy and Student A ffairs Professional Development Team.

Using only a student ID card, students may check out a plethora of other electronic devices. If it is needed, the library most likely has it. The library has Dell Latitude D620 notebooks available for student checkout. These 14.1 in. screens are easy on the eyes and include an Intel integrated graphics media accelerator card. Each notebook has at least 512MB of DDR2-533 SDRAM and comes with an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz processor. CSUSM replaces all of its computerized technology every three years to ensure that everything is state-of-the-art. The laptops are available to check out at the student helpdesk on the second floor of Kellogg Library. They may be checked out for three hours at a time. A yellow sign in front of the helpdesk area i nforms students that the helpdesk will be enforcing fines on checked out technology this year. For a laptop, t he fine is $10 every hour it i s late. When asked about if the helpdesk has been lax in the past on enforcing fines, helpdesk worker Lauren Webb said, "We've been forgiving in the past. We've had problems with people r eturning [items] late, even if it was like a couple of hours, or t rying to renew with multiple fines, and then that would have us not have as many things [available] t o c heckout" External hard drives are also available to borrow. These contraptions hold hundreds of gigabytes of information and are available to borrow for extended periods of time—some for entire semesters. Help- desk employee Kyle Andersen said, "The external hard drive is quite a bit bigger t han a t humb drive, but it is also bigger and stores more information." Digital cameras, headphones, microphones, audio recording devices, light kits, sound kits, and even camcorders are also available t o borrow. Depending on the t ype of equipment, borrowing times range f rom a couple of h ours to around four days. A s long as there is other equipment available t o checkout t o someone else, there is no limit on the amount of t imes students may renew. The higher-end equipment is available only for visual p erforming a rts and mass media students with professor permission. Other technological equipment is available t o faculty only. Right next t o the student helpdesk, in the media library, a number of other resources are at the disposal of students and faculty: CDs, DVDs, V HS tapes, and even some old school records. These titles are not j ust merely educational; some are j ust pure entertainment: "Edward Scissorhands," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," and the original "Star Wars" trilogy are among the hipper movies. CDs such a s "West Side Story" and "Phantom of t he O pera" are also available to borrow. These media materials are available to check out for one week at a time if they are not on reserve. If they are on reserve, they may be checked out for an hour or a day, depending on individual title restrictions. All media arid equipment may be checked out during library hours: MondayThursday 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. í iIP ; ÉliÉiliiiii Iliilllittl filli ili;: lili Iii Wíi i : "', Cartoonists **^ jjiMW BÍ0P0HD ::• •.

From EPA, page 1 California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger broke with fellow Republican President George W. Bush to support the new environmental measures. Schwarzenegger is also hoping to implement a cap and trade system which will limit the amount of C 02 industries can emit. This system hopes to mimic the cap and trade system currently in use in the European Union. In the EU, industries are given a limit on how much C 02 can be emitted. If a company cuts emissions below the regulated limit, the company earns crédits which can be sold to other companies that go over the limit. It seems simple, but the state has since learned that implementing this system could be costly and complicated. "I t hink that California is taking the right path in helping the- environment," CSUSM freshman Janell Smith said.

The cap and trade system sounds like a good way to go." The cap and trade system is currently being considered nationwide. Debate continues in Washington whether this system could be useful for reducing greenhouse gases in America. California, meanwhile, is still trying to get the ball moving on a statewide level. Historically, California has been a pioneer in environmental legislation. In the 1970s, California made moves toward cutting emissions and air pollution before the federal government did. A s it stands, if nothing is done to t ry to reduce greenhouse gases, global warming will seriously threaten 20-30 percent of all plant and animal species if average global temperatures rise 2.2-4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the report issued by the IPCC.

Cal State Film Crew rolls out the red carpet to students BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer The Cal State Film Crew is a relatively new club on campus. Formed by Brandon Brown in October 2006, the club focuses on developing a network for students interested in working in the film industry. In addition to working on smaller side projects, the Cal State Film Crew is currently working on an original feature-length production called "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." "The basis of the club is that cilstatef ¡Imcr e w.canij C SFC Images courtesy of Cal State Film Crew it is a network of students that are interested in film, not necessarily film majors," said Brown. "It's a Catch-22 in the industry. You basically have to work in the industry to get a job in the industry. We have tried to create a network where you can just join the club and you could show up and participate." Brown said that Cal State Film Crew is an opportunity for students to become involved with film on their own timeframe. It also provides access to the technology available on campus. "You really have access to create a highquality production value movie on campus for literally no money," says Brown. "Our main focus here is to create projects that can be turned into products," said Jason Raya, founding member and producer of "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce." The film encompasses multiple disciplines, explained Ryan, and that Cal State Film Crew gives students an opportunity to use the skills they are learning—whether it be in writing, visual performing arts or even business—and apply it to the film industry. "It is interesting meeting people that are actually devoted to the Film Crew and actually want to assist other students in making quality productions," said business major and club member Larry Cristia. Cristia made a fiveminute short film with Cal State Film Crew for his "Elements of Cinema" course which was also entered into a short film contest at a Las Vegas film festival. "Cal State Film Crew is focused on taking everything to the next level," says member Chad Olson. Olson also stars in the Film Crew's "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" as Detective Jones. "The Devil and Ambrose Bierce" is an original screenplay written by a student at UCSC, and formatted by Brown. The movie is a film noir that explores the nature of good and evil within the context of fiction and reality. The film is directed by Brown, and produced by Cristia and Raya. The part of Ambrose Bierce is also played by Raya. There are still many shoots before the film is completed and Cal State Film Crew is looking for production assistants and extras. The club will have something available for Cal State San Marcos student film festival on May 9— whether it is the movie in its completion or a teaser trailer. Tasha Sisson who plays Lady Scratch in the film said that she enjoys the opportunity to act in a movie and how much the director (Brown) really helps her get in the frame of mind. "Cal State Film Crew really Chad Olson (pictured above) plays detective Jones in The Devil and Ambrose Bierce. gives students the opportunity to try out doing things in a school setting," Olson says. The Film Crew combines matriculated students with outside industry professionals to maximize student experience as per their constitution. Cal State San Marcos students are encouraged to join the Film Crew if they are interested in learning more about the industry.

No butts ahe on-campus smoking policy llowed Controversy behind t BY TIFFANIE HOANG Pride Staff Writer The smoking policy on campus was implemented on August 1, 2005. However, it has been brought to recent attention that some students—who do s m o k e are allegedly not complying with the administered rules. Smoking is limited to the designated outside areas only, and is not permitted in any of the Cal State San Marcos buildings or state-owned vehicles. The idea behind creating designated smoking areas around campus is t o "protect visitors and all members of the campus community from exposure to secondhand smoke by containing it to specific, avoidable areas," reads an excerpt from the official CSUSM smoking policy. Individuals who suffer from asthma or cardiac problems are particularly at risk when exposed to second hand smoke. In addition to secondhand smoke being a Class A carcinogen due to its cancercausing effects, The United States Environmental Protection Agency claims that "there is 'no safe level of exposure4 to secondhand smoke. With designated smoking areas, people can avoid being exposed to secondhand smoke if they choose to do so." Oddly enough, some designated smoking areas seem to be placed in certain highly congested areas on campus (next to Science building 1, and near the Library), where avoiding secondhand smoke is nearly impossible. Therefore, the issue concerning CSUSM students is shifting away f rom why CSUSM has designated smoking areas to instead analyzing the effective placing of the designated smoking areas meant to prevent secondhand smoke. California state law requires that there be "no smoking within 20 feet of all entrances, exits and operable windows and air intakes." CSUSM's smoking policy also stresses that the state law "does not protect people from breathing secondhand smoke in areas like the plazas and on stairways and walkways" and that des- WÄRNIHS SMOKE I S KNOWN TO CAUSE GANGER tSËr.-T^lg? A D OTHERI HEPS SfiTS M . . M .M J M ËÛ ignated smoking areas are more effective because "when smokers are directed to places where they can smoke, versus where they cannot smoke, the policy is more easily understood and honored." Karina Martinez, a non-smoker on campus states that she does not mind when smokers are in the designated smoking areas but becomes annoyed "only when they're walking around with it on campus and I have to walk behind that nasty thing." When asked if she knew and utilized the designated smoking areas on campus, Kate Strauss, a smoker said "yes, I know where the desI ignated smoking areas are. I No, I don't use them. Why? Because, I'm too lazy. But, if someone asked me to move, I'd happily do so." CSUSM encourages smokers and non-smokers to cooperate in order to make the policy effective and understands that "proper signage and education are key parts of this process." For more information on the smoking policy and a map of designated smoking areas on campus, go to http:// www.csusm.edu/rms/smoking_ policy.htm. �Secret ingredients in cosmetics: Secretly harmful? BY SOPHIE BRINK Pride Staff Writer Do you know what dangers may be lurking in your toiletries? We all have probably heard the rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer. Although the rumor continues to circulate, an article published in the "Journal of the National Cancer Institute" (Vol. 94, No. 20: 1578-1580) in October o f2002 that the findings of a recent study did "not support the hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases the risk for breast cancer." Yet, the possibility that what we put on our skin may affect our health continues to loom. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of various U.S.-based environmental and public health groups, released a report in July 2002 titled "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products and the FDA." The article stated the findings of a May 2002 study of name-brand beauty products tested for the presence of phthalates, "a large family of industrial chemicals linked to permanent birth defects in the male reproductive system." Fifty-two out of the 72 products tested contained the chemical. Another group of chemicals to be wary of, warns the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, is parabens. These common preservatives including butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben - are known to be absorbed through the skin. Researchers in the U.K. discovered parabens in 20 human breast tumors. Though the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is careful to clarify that no single personal care product is likely to cause cancer, the group insists "we are being repeatedly exposed to chemicals from many different sources all the time." This implies Cosmetic Facts Apply makeup to desired area Repeat as often as needed Applications per bottle.............,......50 Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Soybean Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Purified Water, Zinc Stearate, Silk Powder, Carmine May contain: butylparaben, ethylparaben, metthylparaben, propylparaben, Ascorbyl Pamitate Daily Value (D.V.) not established that the danger in carcinogenic ingredients lies ultimately in how many and how much one is exposed to. In 2004, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics began asking companies that manu- facture personal care products to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. According to a January 2007 press release, by signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, companies would agree to the following: "meeting EU [the European Union prohibited the use of potentially health-hazardous ingredients in 2003] standards banning chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects globally; conducting an inventory of all ingredients to determine whether they use chemicals that pose health hazards including cancer, hormone disruption, genetic mutation, reproductive toxicity, developmental harm and neurotoxicity; implementing substitution plans that replace chemicals of concern with safer alternatives; and reporting on their progress in meeting these goals to the public." Since 2004, over 500 companies signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but many still refuse. A list of companies that have signed the compact is available at http://www.safecosmetics.org. To inform the public ofpotentially dangerous ingredients in personal care products, the Environmental Working Group began a project known as "Skin Deep" (http:// www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep). Not only does the .project entail disseminating fact sheets about harmful ingredients, companies that err or reform, and safety gaps, but it also provides a database of thousands of products, labeling each with a safety-rating that takes into account each of the possibly dangerous ingredients within. "Skin Deep" will even provide custom shopping lists. Users simply select their criteria (e.g. the category of personal care product - Skin Care (Sun), Skin Care (Nourishing), Nail Care, Hair Care, etc. - "No animal testing," "Compact signer," "No known cancer hazards," etc.) and click "Get Shopping List." Just because a company labels its product "organic" or "natural", does not guarantee the product to be free of potentially harmful ingredients. �Finding your way through BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer If you arrive in Prague via the Ruzyne airport and you plan to take the bus 119 into town, whatever you do, find the orange bus ticket vending machine and buy a ticket first. Unfortunately, I did not do this and in my haze of jetlag and sleep deprivation I encountered an annoyed bus conductor; and, as I couldn't speak Czech and he couldn't speak English, the whole ordeal was pretty frustrating. However, the language of money is international and I forked over myfineo f500 Koruna ...a fine start to my trip indeed! The bus dropped me off at the underground train station and I proceeded to take the train, this time looking,out for any orange boxes in the vicinity. My adventure continued as I wandered around in search of the Hostel Advantage located on Sokolska 11. At this juncture I must advise all future travelers to take the time to learn a little Czech before you get to the country, my cramming on the plane just didn't cut it, although I did learn during my stay, and I learned fast! The first thing I did in Prague was seek out a feast of goulash. After all, I had long and excitedly suspected that the Eastern European food would be somewhat reminiscent of Scottish food (and equally as healthy) and I was not proved wrong. Taking the 10 minute trek towards the National Museum, the whole splendor of Wenceslas Square (Vaclavske Namesti) was revealed in its Christmas splendor. As a main thoroughfare in Prague, the 600-year-old Wenceslas Square was the scene of independence protests in 1918, and also the place where a student named Jan Palach set himself on fire on January 16, 1969 in protest of the Russian occupation. Look for the touching memorial to him on the ground in front of the National Museum. In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the Square is also the starting point for many city tours, along with the expected touristy shops, and restaurants. In winter, the large 'courtyard' becomes a Christmas market. It has a wonderful atmosphere; the chilly air is heavy with the invigorating aroma of mulled wine and pastries. People wander around, jubilant with festive music, and if you are lucky, it may even snow a little! I found a little restaurant that served goulash and settled in with a pint of famous Czech pilsner. Listening to the banter around me, I pulled out my phrase book and read a little, considering the days ahead whilst watching people scurry around the narrow street outside... There is a lot to see in Prague, and, if you are interested in architecture, this is one of the best cities to visit. A couple of days walking around, with or without a tour guide, will have your head spinning with the spectacular construction all around you. One such building that is always sought by visitors is the Astronomical Clock (Starometske namesti) in the Old Town Square. A bizarre and thought-provoking clock, it combines astronomical data with fixed and mechanical figures. The figures surrounding the clock are depictions of three of the seven cardinal sins and, on the right side, Death pulls a bell every hour on the hour while nodding his head to announce that time is up! Charles Bridge, lined with magnificent statues, is another spectacular sight that is also really f un to see on a cruise on the river Vltava (Pron: VOOLtava). A trip to the small town of Kutna Hora to see the famous Bone church is highly recommended. Words cannot do this place justice! The whole interior of the church is decorated with human bones! Other places worth -seeing include Prague Castle, which contains the 'centuries to complete' StVitus Cathedral. In addition, I highly recommend a trip to the Opera (I saw "Carmen") and the museums, such as the Museum of Communism. It is important to remember this difficult chapter in Czech history and the communism exhibit is excellent. It traces the beginnings of communism and its role in the history of the Czech people, along with discussing the resignation of the communist party after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The Czech Republic is a fabulous and ancient place; nowhere in the city can you avoid the echoes of the past. Prague commands respect and mesmerizes with both its amazing beauty and its tragic history, just keep a look out for the bus and train ticket machines! Clockwise from top: Church Portal. A bone chandelier in Kutna Hora. Charles Bridge in the rain. St. Vitrus Cathedral. An old townhouse.

BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Padres opened their 2007 campaign with a 7-0 shutout victory on the road at AT&T Park against the National League West rival San Francisco Giants. It must have been a bit strange for new Giants manager Bruce Bochy to look in the mirror and see black and orange instead of his familiar Padres blue and sand. Bochy managed the Padres for 12 seasons. The rival Giants lured the former Padres skipper, and many other former friars, up the 5 freeway and out of the hearts of San Diego fans. Last year's leadoff man Dave Roberts, lefty slugger Ryan Klesko, and third base coach Tim Flannery / to name a few) joined Bochy's migration north. April 3: It's was game one of, a marathon 162 game schedule and pitted ace Jake Peavy on the mound against Giants starter, and recently signed $126 million dollar man, Barry Zito. A product of San Diego (University High School), Zito left the Oakland A's and followed the greenbacks across thé bay to the Giants. Rookie Padres manager Bud Black hoped to begin his tenure with a victory. Black is a very even keeled guy who was the pitching coach for the LA Angels of Anaheim when they claimed the World Series title in 2002 over the San Francisco Giants in a seven-game thriller. That series gave Black a chance to see Barry Bonds up close and personal. Coming into the season, Bonds, the Darth Vader of baseball outside of San Francisco, has his most career homeruns-"against the~Patfres with 85. That's roughly 12 percent of his 734 total entering this season. He is knocking on the door of the most hallowed recprd in sports, Hank Aaron's 755 career homeruns. * Peavy was lights out, becoming the first Padres starter to win back-to-back opening day starts since Clay Kirby in 1972-73. Peavy pitched six scoreless innings, giving up three hits while striking out six. He pounded the. strike zone with fastballs before handing the ball to his bullpen. Last year's rookie phenom Cla Meredith pitched a scoreless seventh inning and new acquisition Heath Bell did not allow a run in the eighth or ninth. Zito was touched up for three runs in hisfiveinnings and lost his third consecutive opening day start. The offense was highlighted by a career-best four-hit performance by catcher Josh Bard and two doubles from RF Brian Giles. IB Adrian Gonzalez knocked in a run, and newly acquired * LF Jose Cruz Jr. had two RBI. The Padres showed a glimpse of what can make this team very successful. Without a ton of pop in the lineup, this club must get good starting pitching and hand the ball to an extremely talented bullpen. The offense, anchored by Gonzalez, has to produce timely hitting up and down the lineup. The 2007 version of the Padres do not have an abundance of speed so good managing and clutch hitting will be a major factor. The win was the first ever opening day shutout for the Padres in team history. The Giants were shut out for the first time since 1967 and only the third tiffigiTf80 years. �8 Tuesday, April 10, 2007 2007 : A A OC & THE PRIDE E Courtesy of The Pride Sports Teams Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League Last week's key: ACROSS 4 San Diego, CA.

Swamis IPA is a true San Diego original and can only be enjoyed at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. If you have never experienced the fine beer and pizza at Pizza Port, you are seriously missing out. This is a local brewery restaurant that never disappoints. At Pizza Port they brew all of their own beers with some of the finest hops and barley. Year-round they brew eight types of beer but also offer additional selections depending on the season. They have everything from a California Honey Ale that is brewed with the finest honey in California to the Swamis IPA that will stick with you through dinner. The other day after an incredible day of surfing I went home with my arm in a sling. Thinking that my day was over, I got a call from a buddy telling me to meet him at Pizza Port. Even though I was injured I knew that Pizza Port would be just the solution to a hungry belly. So I made my way down to the 101 and found Pizza Port as busy as ever. When I went to order the first pitcher, I was stumped on which brew to choose. The guy behind the counter began to laugh and said, "Man you should get the Swamis IPA. This is our wipe-out beer." When I returned to the table with the pitcher of dark golden Swamis IPA I could see my friend's mouth salivating. The Swamis IPA is a true ale. With so much flavor, you have to drink an entire glass to really appreciate all of the tastes. And when you are done, the bitter ale aftertaste stays with you. This is not a beer for the weak. This is a beer that could leave a lump in your throat if you are a light beer drinker. But if you truly love beer, I recommend trying it.

With his current album, "Awake," available now in stores nationwide, the newly signed Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar high and soar through the music world. In recent years the once unsigned artist proved the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY fashion^ as his independently garnered success still resonates in the hearts of his fans and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter for this emotional songster on Glassnote Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously crafted songs. S e c o n d h a n d S erenade With a sound almost reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint just exactly what Secondhand Serenade sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound and success these days. Readily apparent to anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out of each song, making the album timeless and intimate. In addition to being recently named MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's "Oven Fresh" this week. The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in the past year— Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in the last year in a very independent way. Lots of kids started getting into it, and that led to a lot of opportunities, including finding my current record label, [and] getting together with a great video director. I'm already getting started on the next album now, and I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour. The Pride: How's the tour going for you so far? Vesely: The tour is actually going really well. I'm really happy with the turnout at the shows; there are so many kids coming to support me every night; it's a really good feeling to see them and hear them sing along. And Monty Are I is like the coolest band ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those guys, and we are just having tons of fun. The Pride: You've been extremely popular on MySpace, being in the number one spot multiple times. How has MySpace been an effective toolfor you in your musical career? Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all fronts. It really helped boost my album sales before I even got signed, as well as it's really supporting my tour right now. I'm having several hundred kids come every night, and it's really honestly my first tour, so the turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from MySpace. It's pretty amazing. The Pride: Has signing with a label changed your musical vision at all, or has it helped it? Vesely: Not at all—getting together with a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to effect what I did musically, and I mean, of course it comes with the idea that you have to think about more than just making songs. You have to think about MTV, radio play, retail, all these different elements when you're writing, but the thing you have to think about most of all even, is that all that stuff doesn't even really matter when it comes down to it, you know? The Pride: Is the next album going to be similar to the style of "Awake"? Vesely: My songwriting has definitely evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake." [This] album is going to be a little different; it's going to have some full band stuff, some piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's going to be more interesting. There [are] more elements of orchestration involved. The Pride: What can fans and newcomers lookforward to in 2007? Vesely: They can definitely look forward to the new album coming out by the end of the year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on MTV downloads so that will be really coo}, and we have some touring p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward to me ^ I f ^ l m coming to see them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
