I NTERNET "KILL SWITCH" LEGISLATION BACK O N TABLE
THREAT OF CYBER TERRORISM INFLUENCING LAWMAKERS
JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
r | l he revolution occurring in Egypt is sendX ing waves of change
across much of the world, and
the United States is not immune.
Days before the protests and
riots started, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak effectively
shut off the Internet to the entire
country, the rationale being, "Kill
the Internet, kill the dissent."
While, ultimately, the shutdown
of the Internet failed to suppress
the protesters, it did spark some
new controversy in the U.S.
Senator Susan Collins, the
ranking Republican of the homeland security and Governmental
Affairs committee, first introduced an Internet "kill switch"
bill in December of last year. "The
bill is designed to protect against
'significant' cyber threats before
they cause damage," Collins said.
Much of the popular news surrounding this "kiil switch" bill
suggests that the president will be
given the power to entirely shut
off the Internet in the U.S. The
true objective of the bill, while not
as Orwellian as initially believed,
still gives a large amount of power to the president. The bill, if
passed, will give President Barack
Obama, or any president hereafter, the power to "demand turning
off access to so-called 'critical
infrastructure' where necessary."
Many of the supporters of
the bill are coming under flak
for previous comments decrying Egypt's misuse of power
when shutting off the Internet.
With the reintroduction of the
"kill switch" bill, Senator Joe
Lieberman has also shown his
support through a statement released earlier in the week. "We
would never sign on to legislation that authorized the president,
or anyone else, to shut down the
Internet. Emergency or not, the
exercise of such broad authority would be an affront to our
Constitution," Liberman said.
The statement failed to cover
the fact that a provision in the
bill will forbid the courts from
reviewing any decision by the
president to shut off the Internet.
While there is indeed cause for
concern, the bill has many hurdles
to jump before becoming law.
With the reemergence of the
bill, many civil liberty groups
have publicly spoken out against
the proposed legislation. Wired
has reported "About two dozen
groups, including the American
Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center
for Democracy and Technology
were skeptical enough to file an
open letter opposing the idea."

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK RESIGNS
COUNTRY'S VP ANNOUNCES TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
PHILIP MYKEL FLORES
NEWS EDITOR
A fter numerous pro/ \ tests and continued
JL JLcrisis in the streets of
Egypt, Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak resigned last Friday,
Feb. 11 and handed over the much
needed power to the military after 30 years in power. Cheers
and applause exploded among
the streets of Cairo as thousands
listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state
television by Vice President
Omar Suleiman confirming the
resignation of Mubarak. He also
announced that Supreme Council
of the Armed Forces will "run the
affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak.
Chants such as "God is great"
and "Egypt is free" echoed the
streets of Cairo, while others
cheered and waved the coutry's
flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long
awaited throughout the uprising.
As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is
known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work
on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For
now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain
safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government.

CSUSM SCHOOL SHOOTING SCARE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM PUT TO THE TEST
BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Columbine, Virginia Tech
and University of Texas are all
schools that are notoriously
known for school shootings and
will forever be remembered. On
Nov. 4, 2010, students thought
that California State University San Marcos was going to
be added to that infamous list
after the emergency response
system was sounded and the
campus was swarming with policemen in just minutes. With a
lockdown in effect and students
unaware of what was happening, all judgments were made
based on rumors floating around
different social media sites.
Ending up just being a class
play that a student oversaw
and perceived as a threat, the
CSUSM campus got to see first
hand what happens when the
emergency response protocol
takes effect. "Students must always recognize the emergency
system and react as if it is a real
emergency every time, no exceptions," Bruce Bradley ¡said, occupational safety and environmental health specialist for CSUSM.
Bradley recommends all students be prepared for any possible threat on campus and follow all directions provided by
faculty and emergency personnel. He stated that "it is very important for people to develop two
mindsets in these days of "unthinkable potential" events; get
prepared and stay prepared and
always think you will survive no
matter the circumstances, being
tough mentally is as important
as being physically fit to be able
to perform well in emergencies."
When asked about his reaction to learning that the campus
threat was false, Bradley responded, "At first I was thankful
that no one was hurt, followed
by, what were they thinking,
endangering people witîf a clear
knowledge of the potential consequences is juvenile thinking."
Since that incident, there have
been three additional situations
where fake or simulated firearms
have been brought onto our cam-
pus . While none of the other three
incidents resulted in a full scale
response, all such incidents have
the potential to endanger our
campus community stated a recent press release from the campus Office of Commumication.
"Bringing a weapon, even a toy
weapon, to campus is a violation
of university policy. University
Police should always be notified
if an unusual activity is planned
that may be a cause for concern,"
President Karen Haynes said.

CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
When the iPad was released
in April 2010, consumers and
tech geeks alike were certain of
one thing: competing companies
would do their best to develop
an "iPad killer." The iPad's release anniversary is only two
months away, and within the past
year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell
Streak are currently the iPad's
biggest threats. Though these
devices are all tablet computers,
they each have distinct features
that can mean the difference
between a purchase or a pass.
The operating system is the
most obvious difference in these
devices. The iPad, starting at
$499, currently runs on Apple's
iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's
3G network. Apple's iPhone
arid iPod Touch also run on this
same operating system (which
can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung
Galaxy Tab, starting at $549
and the Dell Streak, moderately
priced around $200, run on the
Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The
Streak is only available through
AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android
phones or iPhones might choose
their devices based on the operating systems or networks
they are already familiar with.
The iPad utilizes Apple's
popular App Store to bring users
the largest library of applications
to date. However, the Android
Market's growing fan base has
given Apple stiff competition.
While proponents of Apple and
Android have their disagreements
regarding which store is better,
a number of the most popular
apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab and
the Dell Streak were designed for
portability. The Samsung features
a seven-inch display and the Dell
features a five-inch display. The
displays of both devices are in
widescreen, a component
ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display
is a whopping 9.7 inches
with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size
does matter. Though bigger does not always mean
better. The Streak can be
a handy tablet that fits in
most any purse or large
pocket, whereas the iPad
can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable
for backpack storage.
Each device has attractive features to set it
apart from the other two.
According to endgadget.
com, the Streak is the
only one of the three with
the ability to make phone
calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a

phone replacement.
The Galaxy Tab
and the Streak have
front facing cameras,
giving them videochatting capabilities.
Both the Samsung
and the Dell feature
cameras while the
current iPad model
does not. However,
the iPad does have
three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest
is 64 gigabytes. The
Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32
gigabyte model with a microSD
slot allowing for more memory.
The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot.

mainstream market, consum-
ers can expect to see more devices in the coming year with Bottom left: Samsung Galaxy

�BLACK HISTORY M ONTH
C E L E B R A T I N G A C H I E V E M E N T , T ALENT, H OPE
ALEXIS POLLARD
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
February is Black History
Month, a time set aside that recognizes and appreciates all aspects of black history and culture.
According to biography.com,
the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with
the determination of Dr. Carter
G. Woodson, the second black
student at Harvard University,
and with the fraternity Omega Psi
Phi's creation of Negro History
and Literature Week. Woodson
chose the month of February to
celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who
was born on Feb. 12 and issued
the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the
abolitionist Frederick Douglass
whose birthday falls on Feb. 14.
Leaders in black history, such
as the influential civil rights
movement icon Martin Luther
King Jr., influential civil rights
icon; Barack Obama, the first
African-American U.S. president,
and Jtsse Owens, the talented
track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black
History Month is more than just

a reserved time to reflect on past
achievements. The observance
focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering
inspiration for culture's future.
Popular media celebrates
Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides
coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons,
such as Rosa Parks, throughout
the month of February. Black
ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various
events to honor Black History
Month. The association holds a
Black History Trivia contest, in
which winners respond to questions throughout February via
email and have the opportunity
to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events."
Both active participation with
on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month
on television and on the Internet
allows for an appreciation of
history and accomplishments.
Many movements, rights and
entertainment have changed
lives and the course of American history, so Black History
Month shouldn't be overlooked.
As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add
to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011,
those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and
present, and express hope for a

health services provided through
SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other
vaccines, women's health exams
and more. Tuition also includes
a $25 health facilities fee that
pays for rent and maintenance of
the SHCS clinic at PPH, located
across the street from campus
at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100.
Students may consult with a
doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse,
counselor, or the health educator.
Visits to the clinic or counselor
require no co-payment. Minimal
fees are charged for psychiatric
services, certain physical exams,
laboratory or radiology tests,
and prescriptions. According to
their website, SHCS "strivefs]
to promote services and health
education designed to prevent
and resolve health problems that
may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal
in mind, SHCS sponsors events
each semester. Coming up on

Cathy Nguyen said she enjoys
working in a "nontraditional environment" as Health Educator for
SHCS. One of the reasons SHCS
offers their services to students
is because it is important
for students to have access to free medical care,
Nguyen said. "This is
my passion," she added.
Nguyen's job title describes her duty to educate
students about health issues and healthy lifestyle
choices, but the job itself
encompasses a wide range
of tasks from organizing events to helping students with class projects.
Nguyen's office is located
in the Hope and Wellness Center at 120 Craven Road, Suite 108, next
door to the SHCS clinic.

The circus came to town on
Thursday morning,, but not to
the Convention Center, not to
Qualcomm Stadium, not even to
an empty parking lot. This time
the circus came to the artificial
turf of a football field, on the
campus of a local high school.
Several dozen media members and guests from around the
country converged on Cathedral
Catholic High School in Del
Mar, gathering to watch Cam
Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football
Heisman Trophy winner—the
best player in college football—
came to San Diego in January
to work with local quarterback
coach George Whitfield, Jr.
Whitfield prepares young
quarterbacks for the college game,
traveling with them to major colleges around the country making
connections with coaches and
scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was
cames
trophv
ra
räum
Vinnen
suspended for thefirstfour games
of the season, he chose Whitfield
to help Jrim stay in game shape.
Newton needed Whitfield to help
him transition from the college
"spread" offense to the style of
the National Football League.
Warren Moon, hall of fame
quarterback and mentor to Newton, said on Thursday that he
had directed Cam's father Cecil
Newton to Whitfield. Before college, Cecil had supposedly peddled Cam to play for Mississippi
State University in exchange for
$200,000. The NCAA decided
Cam had not known about it. The
son went unpunished, and Cecil
agreed not to attend the national
championship game. After Cam
led his Auburn Tigers to victory,
Cecil was photographed embracing his son. A representative of
the family said he had watched
the game outside the stadium.
Fast forward to Thursday
morning: the event was meant to
mimic Whitfield's normal workouts with Cam, meant to prove
that the kid could play professionally. After over a hundred of
holds
us toting cameras, notebooks and
voice recordersfiledonto the field,
Newton played parts of a pretend
game of football with twelve
young men his age, all from
Southwestern* College in Chula
Vista. Whitfield calmly directed
Cam as he tossed them passes,
avoided their half-hearted rushes, fired footballs between them
as they posed as defenders and
jokingly offered them Icy-Hot.
Meanwhile, as NFL legend
Moon watched from the sidelines, Cecil Newton went unseen.
Though made from the mold of
omnipresent, caring sports fathers like those of Tiger Woods
and Venus and Serena Williams,
scandal had turned Cecil into a
shadow figure. Surely enough,
shadows loomed behind the
windows of the press box overlooking the hoards of spectators.
"We had over 300 media
requests, and we had to deny
250 of them," James Woo,
Whitfield's Director of Operations and Cal State San Marcos
student, said. "We're talking
about a lot of powerful people
seáis su
that made the time to come see
Cam Newton throw a football."
The list included Trent Dilfer, former NFL quarterback
and current ESPN commentator. Dilfer, known as one of the
sports media's harshest critics,
seemed skeptical about Cam
Newton before the event. After
Cam showed off, Dilfer couldn't
stop gushing. "That was phenomenal...if scouts saw this, they'd
have been slobbering," he said.
According to Whitfield, the
idea for the event had been jointly
created by father and son, wishing to build momentum entering
the pre-draft combine: workouts
in front of team scouts. "Mr.
Newton is still a human being and
a dad," Woo said. "Wouldn't you
do the same thing for your son?"
No one could blame Cecil
Newton for shying away from
the field on Thursday. For perhaps the event had a second purpose: guiding the family's wish to
move on from scandal and focus
on Cam Newton's future. If so, at
least temporarily, it succeeded.

\ New mural recruits students and community to participate in 'diversity7
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Arts Association is working with the Visual
& Performing Arts (VPA) 181
class to plan, propose and paint
a mural at the University Village Apartments on campus.
CSUSM recently created VPA
181, a class dedicated to learning
the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and
creation of a large-scale mural.
For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris
Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work
to develop a work of art for the
UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his
unique artistic qualities with civic
engagement programs to bring
communities together through art.
To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of
the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM
students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that
make up CSUSM's community.
The mural is still in its
early planning stages. Students, faculty and community
members search to pinpoint
what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community.
"We want to represent us
students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San
Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that
means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said.
To answer that question,
Galante and other project members set off to interview students
from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it
means to be a member of the
CSUSM community and what
makes CSUSM so unique. The
CSUSM community offered
words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These
words serve as a sneak peak
into what the mural will convey.
The project leaders divided members of the project
into groups, where each group

proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the
project members and leaders.
Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from
each group into one cohesive
mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it
aims to portray multiple groups
of people and ideas that aim to
unite and improve our campus.
The mural's location will be
inside the lobby of the "UVA.
Since the project's leaders and
members want an accurate account of CSUSM student life,
they plan to take a careful amount
of time to propose their vision.
Participants' actual painting of
the mural is set to start later this
semester. Soon, the mural will
greet CSUSM students and residents with an aim to make them
feel even more accepted and included in the CSUSM community.

�COMIC C ON GLITCH
BADGES SELL OUT FASTER THAN EXPECTED LEAVING THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE LURCH
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
San Diego's 41-annual
Comic-Con takes place the
weekend of July 21 - 24, but
those who have not purchased
tickets yet are out of luck.
In a matter of seven hours, individual day and four-day badges to
the 2011 Comic-Con convention
completely sold out. This year's
convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the
2009 convention, which sold out
of badges in roughly six months
and last year's convention, which
sold out in just two months.
Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic
Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times,
two different sites experienced
high amounts of traffic at selling
time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months
later, relieved fans heard a new
site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick-
etLeap guaranteed their site to
handle a simultaneous amount of
thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned
into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m.,
when the TicketLeap site sent out
error messages saying, "We'll
be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance,"
and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back
momentarily." Fans felt defeated
by the new site, especially after
TicketLeap's twitter page read,
"If you see an over capacity mes-
sage, hit refresh. We are under
heavy loadrightnow and it should
smooth out." After continuously
hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly
made their way through the pass
purchasing process. TicketLeap
averaged that fans requested the
site 400,000 times per minute.
Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the
ticket purchasing process. This
year's convention features a large
amount of comic book and sci-fi/
fantasy blockbusters slated for
release through 2011 and 2012.
The movies "Thor," "Captain
America" and "Transformers,"
premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films
at the convention. Comic-Con
may highlight films slated to
premiere in 2012, such as "The
Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

21 ANNUAL SAN DIEGO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
BROADENING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
ASHLEY DAY
FEATURES EDITOR
For the past 21 years, San
Diego's Jewish community celebrated the history and experience
of Jews with films based on Jewish obstacles and lifestyle. The
San Diego Jewish Film Festival
portrays the Jewish experience in
the form of contemporary films.
Our campus also offers a
course on the Jewish culture.
This semester, the class, History
383: Women and Jewish History,
taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall,
surveys Jewish culture and the
roles women partake in, as Jews.
Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383
students to attend a film from the
San Diego Jewish Film Festival.
"The festival tries to bring
to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the
Photo courtesy of lQcc.org
world," Dr. Sepinwall said.
Everyone understands the
struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival
picks films that shed new light
on different realities Jews faced.
"Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in
American baseball and in the
Civil War. The films also focus
on universal issues like teenage
angst, feminism and childhood
memories," Dr. Sepinwall added.
One film premiering at this
year's festival is the French
made, "La Rafle." In English, "La
Rafle" translates to "The Round
Up." The film showcases the true
story of French Jewish refugees
being 'rounded up' to go to the
horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II.
Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir
professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few
words. Dr. Baron spoke of the
history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France
was the first country to grant
Jews equal rights. "La Rafle,"
reveals the travesty of these
equal rights being rescinded.
The spoken language of the
film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to
reading English subtitles. "La
Rafle" is beautifully composed
of rich scenes that propel you
into 1940s France. Themes of
loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against
each other capture the hearts of
the viewer. French actors Jean
Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who
care for Jewish children while
they wait to be shipped off to die.
"La Rafle" is one of 40 plus
films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in
learning more about Jewish
culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival.
"The festival has always been
really welcoming to CSUSM
students," Dr. Sepinwall said.
"Students in History 383 and
other classes have been offered
free tickets, thanks to
the festival and the
Leichtag Family Foundation," she added.
The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs
from Feb. 10 - 20.
This year, the festival
added three new venues
in Clairemont, Carlsbad and
conveniently at the Edwards San
Marcos Stadium 18, along with
their existing venues in La Jolla
and Mission Valley. Actors
and directors from
the films
and guest speakers precede or
follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance
to speak to them. For more information, visit www.sdjff.org

thousands of songs with no qualms
about how their redistribution
might affect, well, everything,
I imagine artists create albums
with the idea that they will be listened to in their entirety. Therefore, I abstain from shuffling.
With that said, you
will note that I was
outside my head the
other day, as my iPod
was indeed on shuffle.
Serving as background
noise as meaningless
as strangers' conversations, the random selections warranted no
particular feelings. I
know my music well,
so when a song came
on that I hadn't instantly recognized, I didn't
quite know what to do.
A glance at my iPod's
display read: Joseph
Arthur and the Lonely
Astronauts, "Faith."
Joseph Arthur began writing music as
a teenager. The Ohio-
based musician dabbled in electrónica before discovering his
signature guitar-centric style.
In the early 90s, Arthur signed
to Peter Gabriel's record label,
Real World Records. After five
studio albums, Arthur decided
to keep his touring band around
for albums six and seven, and
establish his own label, Lonely
Astronaut Records. His latest
release, "Temporary People,"
includes musicians Sibyl Buck,
Kraig Jarret Johnson, Jennifer
Turner, and Greg Wieczorek.
I clumsily paused the song
to see if I could compel any
more information out of the
slight electronic. I had the entire album, but this Joseph Arthur sounded almost nothing like
the guy I fell in love with after
hearing "In the Sun" off 2000's
"Come to Where I 'm From."
I slipped a little further out
of my head listening to Arthur's
haunted voice on "Faith." His
grainy vocal offsets nearly cheerful guitar riffs and cymbal-thick
drums. "Faith comes in little
waves," Arthur offers with a bit
of optimism, as "the pain is what
makes you believe." The Lonely Astronauts' chorus punches
through the heavy-handed instrumentation with bright belts
of affirmation making the song's
mood more buoyant than glum.
Now that my brain is square
between my ears, I may confidently propose that to shuffle
is to discover. I am in no way
convinced that this happy bit of
chance absolves any of the aforementioned offenses, but I supposé music's value surfaces when
it is listened to rather than heard.
Arthur's upcoming tour schedule includes three dates in Los
Angeles at the Bootleg Theater,
'Feb. 15, 22, and March 1. Arthur is also performing at Indio's
classic music festival, C oachella^
as a member of the band Fistful
of Mercy with fellow musicians
Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison.
