Hundreds of specta-tors filled the Union ballrooms last Friday, Nov. 12, to watch the 2010 Tallahassee Colle-giate Poetry Slam. Poetry teams from colleges all around Florida convened to compete in the event for prizes, recognition and celebrate the spoken word.
The 2nd annual Talla-hassee Collegiate Poetry Slam was an inter-colle-giate spoken word po-etry competition created and hosted by Poetic Lyricism, an FSU student organization.
“The poetry slam, started last year, was the first-ever poetry slam in Tallahassee,” Vice Presi-dent of Poetic Lyricism Aurélie Mathieu said.
“Last year, we had over a thousand people in at-tendance and this year we aimed to make it even bigger.”
Last year’s Tallahassee Collegiate Poetry Slam drew well over 1,000 guests, filling the Union Ballrooms above capaci-ty. This year’s poetry slam had a similar turnout.
“We started [the Tal-lahassee Collegiate Po-etry Slam] as an idea by our two-time president Ecclesiast Guerrier,” PR Director for Poetic Lyri-cism Danielle Lyn said. “Basically, this is a com-petition for slam poets, and depending how well they do and how well the judges score them, one team will be crowned the best poets in North Florida.”
A total of 8 teams—consisting of four or five
members each—compet-ed in four rounds of po-etry. Teams had a three-minute time limit in each performance. First place winners took home $250 as well as recognition as the best poets in North Florida.
The event showcased four teams from Florida State University, three teams from Florida A&M University and one team from the University of Florida. The teams per-forming at the poetry slam included the Artis-tic Deliverers of Hostile Diction, Poetically Muti-lating Stupidity, Aurora, Pockets of Air, Aijuswan-naPOET, Say Word, Poets Inc. and Juslisten.

On the morning of Oct. 11, police deputies found David Mays, the second student ever selected to be “Chief Osceola” at Flor-ida State University, dead from a shotgun wound to the head in his home, located on Chaires Cross Road. Though the funeral took place Monday, Oct. 18, the case is still un-der investigation by the Leon County Sheriff’s
Office, almost a month later. Mays was born and raised in Tallahassee. He graduated from Florida High School in 1977 and FSU in 1982. While serv-ing as “Chief Osceola,” he used his skills as a horseman to represent FSU and serve in the FSU Renegade Team. In 1986, he opened Gold’s Gym in Tallahassee and, in 2002, he formed the Sun Belt Agricultural Consultants and Real Estate Services.
An excerpt from the
article, “Seminole spirit personified,” in the Oct. 10, 1980 edition of the Florida Flambeau re-veals that Mays was ex-cited about his work as Chief Osceola.
“Asked to describe his feelings while on the field, Mays replied, ‘It’s wild, I mean the feelingís unreal. I really feel like an Indian [sic].’”
Wayne Deas, the writer of the article, goes on to explain that, “not only does Mays feel like an
Indian, he looks like one also. Decked out in war-paint and makeup, Mays puts opponents in imme-diate awe, which might account for the Seminoles being unbeaten at home in the last two years. Also, Mays makes the vis-iting team feel even more terrified by violently driv-ing his inflamed spear in to the ground on the 50-yard line just before the game.”

Florida State University students and Tallahas-see community members raised over $100,000 for Light the Night, a night walk fundraising event hosted by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise money for blood cancer research.
The FSU Light the Night chapter held its walk on Thursday, Nov. 11, on Langford Green. Regis-tration began at 5:30 p.m. and the two-mile walk started at 7:30 p.m. Before the walk began, student groups performed for the participants.
“There were a ton of people and it wasn’t just students,” FSU student and Light the Night par-ticipant Siedah Fortune said. “It was a community effort.”
During the walk, par-ticipants were given il-
luminated balloons to carry. The light provided from the balloons was symbolic for the hope of finding a cure for blood cancer. Each participant held a balloon for the du-ration of the walk to “light the night.”
“Seeing the balloons go up in the sky was a great feeling,” Fortune said. “We lit up the campus.”
Light the Night partici-pant Elle Newsome also said she felt inspired by the event.
“It was really great see-ing all the balloons up in
the air,” Newsome said. “It made quite an impact see-ing just how many people were out there to support this cause. It was a really cool sight to see.”
The FSU Light the Night Chapter was the first collegiate chapter in the country. In its in-augural year, FSU’s Light the Night chapter only raised $12,000. However, the chapter far surpassed that amount by raising over $100,000 for Light the Night this year. The chapter also increased the amount of partici-
pants over the years. Participants could
walk individually, or form teams for the event. For-tune believes Light the Night has become such a success because of the amount of people who are impacted by cancer.
“Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer,” For-tune said. “It feels good to be a part of something that is supporting efforts to stop this disease.”
The FSU Light the Night chapter has been raising money for The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society long before the walk took place. In April of this year, the FSU chapter hosted a Light the Night Blood Can-cer Awareness Week that included a movie night and a guest speaker.
Light the Night walks take place all over the U.S. and in Canada on fall nights. The money raised from these events is do-nated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Ac-cording to the website, the society then uses the funds for blood cancer re-search, free educational materials and events for patients and their fami-lies, local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program and assistance through the society’s In-formation Resource Cen-ter.

Florida State Univer-sity scientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory recent-ly received a $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to put toward ex-ploring new frontiers in chemistry, biology and material studies.
Scientists plan to use the grant to pay for the design and construction of a portable assortment of amplifiers and devic-es that will help in the overall development of a new spectrometer, a ma-chine used to measure
the mass of molecules. The new spectrometer is being developed to work with a new mag-net known as the Series Connected Hybrid. Con-struction of the Con-nected Hybrid began in 2006 with the help of an $11.7 million grant from the NSF.
Both projects are slated for completion in 2013 and the hope is that the new tools will help broaden the exploration of a magnetic-field range used in a variety of ap-plications, ranging from biological tissues to bat-tery supplies.
The new spectrometer will allow researchers to use nuclear magnetic

resonance (NMR) tech-niques like those used by MRI machines, but at sig-nificantly higher magnetic fields. In comparison, MRI machine magnets produce a field of about three tesla—a measure of magnetic-field intensity—while those used by the Series Connected Hybrid will use a magnetic-field strength of 36 tesla.
“For nuclear magnetic resonance, 23 tesla is now the cutting edge for sci-ence,” magnet-lab physi-cist Bill Brey said. “So 36 tesla is years and years
beyond the cutting edge. It’s an increase in field strength of more than 50 percent.”
It took scientists 20 years to achieve a 50 per-cent field strength increase the last time such a break-through took place. Now, with a faster turnaround, scientists like Brey look forward to what else can be achieved.
“This new spectrometer and the 36-tesla magnet will give scientists around the world a new window on most of the known ele-ments, including oxygen,

legiate Poetry Slam also helped raise donations for the people of Haiti in conjunction with ’Noles for Haiti. Everyone who attended the free event was encouraged to do-nate $1 for relief efforts.
Audience members, like civil engineering ma-jor Randolph Pierre, left the event encouraged and pleased at the out-come.
“I came out to this event tonight because I’m a poet and I felt that I had to show support to fellow poets,” Pierre said. “I was never really big on group pieces origi-nally, but after seeing these performers, I was very impressed.”
Poetic Lyricism began with a Facebook page
and three FSU students who enjoyed writing poetry. Since then, five years later, the small group has grown into a student organization with an ever-increasing membership.
“Basically we have become an organization that has branched from just doing spoken word to now including poets, musicians, designers, artists, event planners and basically anyone who likes the performing arts,” Lyn said. “We are inspired by our love of expression and our love for spoken word.”

The smell of fresh sa-mosas, baklava and su-shi filled the lobby of the Center for Global Engage-ment, known to Florida State University students as “The Globe,” Friday, Nov. 12, for “Going Glob-al.”
The event was hosted by FSU in honor of the 11th Annual International Education Week.
“International Educa-tion Week is a program that was created by the Departments of State and Education in order to pro-mote and support Interna-tional travel and educa-
tion,” said Jillian White, a program coordinator at the Center for Global Engagement. “It targets
students and faculty who are interested in studying internationally and broad-ening their horizons. This
year, events will take place from Nov. 15 to Nov. 19.”
Aleks Nesic, organizer of International Educa-tion Week events at FSU, explained the purpose of “Going Global.”
“[It was] designed to showcase students’ expe-riences abroad, be they in London or Marrakech,” said Nesic. “We want to give them an opportunity to show other like-minded students what they have done abroad, and the kinds of positive impact they have had on others.”

FSU names University Center for longtime
benefactor Devoe MoorePresident Eric J. Bar-
ron has announced that as of Nov. 13, the University Center at Florida State Uni-versity will be renamed the “DeVoe L. Moore University Center,” carrying the name of a Tallahassee business-man who distinguished himself through a lifetime of giving to Florida State.
The renaming was an-nounced to football fans on the giant screens at Doak Campbell Stadium dur-ing the Seminoles’ football game with Clemson Univer-sity, Saturday, Nov. 13.
The red-brick, colle-giate Gothic-style Univer-sity Center encompasses both the stadium and a 780,000-square-foot aca-demic building around it.
That structure includes student services, such as tu-ition payment, financial aid and parking permits; Hu-man Resources; Seminole Boosters; Athletics; other administrative offices; and entire colleges and schools, such as the College of Social
Work, College of Motion Picture Arts, and the Ded-man School of Hospitality.
Moore has served the FSU community in numer-ous ways. He has served on the boards of both the Semi-nole Boosters and the FSU Foundation and, in 2005, was presented with an hon-orary Doctor of Humane Letters degree by FSU.
A true self-made man, Moore put himself through school working as a farrier shoeing horses and working at an auto parts store. He is now the owner of the Talla-hassee Automobile Museum and a prominent real estate developer.
FSU’s Jim Moran Institute announces
inaugural fellowsThe Jim Moran Institute
for Global Entrepreneur-ship at The Florida State University has announced the selection of its inaugural class of fellows.
They are Florida State faculty members Susan S. Fiorito, a professor in the Department of Retail Mer-chandising and Product De-
velopment; Gary A. Knight, an associate professor in the Department of Market-ing and Joseph B. Schlenoff, chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Biochem-istry.
Named after automobile-industry legend Jim Moran, who established a legacy of entrepreneurial success that spanned more than sev-en decades, the Jim Moran Institute Faculty Fellows Program was recently es-tablished to stimulate schol-arly activities that advance research, teaching and ser-vice in entrepreneurship.
The program is intended to support research by gifted and ambitious en-trepreneurship scholars at Florida State who, in turn, will share their knowledge and success with students in the university’s entrepre-neurship program, as well as with academic scholars, aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners in the local community.
According to its criteria, Jim Moran Institute fellows are united by a set of values, as well as a shared commit-ment to student success and to programs that support applied research in entre-
preneurship and the devel-opment of entrepreneurial leaders in the community.
FSU names first director of campus sustainability
For well over a decade, Florida State University has implemented campus-wide efforts to manage its re-sources in a more efficient, economical and environ-mentally friendly manner.
Those have included es-tablishing recycling stations, energy-reduction programs and changes in construction methods.
Signifying that this is a major goal, the university has hired its first full-time advocate for all things “green”—a director of cam-pus sustainability.
Elizabeth Swiman will as-sume her new role as head of the FSU Sustainable Cam-pus Initiative. Since 2007, Swiman has worked as a community engagement co-ordinator for FSU’s Center for Leadership and Civic Education while also serv-ing on the Sustainable Cam-pus Committee, a group of dedicated volunteers who represent students, faculty and staff members.
Swiman was named to
the newly created position after a nationwide search was recently concluded.
Ongoing initiatives de-veloped by the Sustainable Campus Initiative include: The Garnet and Gold Goes Green Recycling Program, Eco Reps, Phantom Slayer and Chuck It for Charity.
Visiting professor discusses Gulf oil
disaster from a cultural perspective
Michael Pasquier, an as-sistant professor of Ameri-can religious history at Louisiana State University, regarded as a religion schol-ar, visited Florida State Uni-versity Wednesday, Nov. 10, at 5 p.m. to discuss his work with corporate and govern-ment researchers in the wake of the Deepwater Ho-rizon oil spill to determine the biological, ecological, economic and cultural ef-fects of the spill.
Pasquier’s lecture, en-titled, “Standard Lives: Vi-sualizing Oil and Religion in Louisiana,” was free and open to the public. It drew upon a stock of photo-graphs taken between the early and mid-20th century, all focused on the oil culture
of Louisiana and the place of religion in it.
Pasquier, who received his Ph.D. in religion from Florida State in 2007, teach-es courses in U.S. religious history, Christianity, and world religions at LSU.
He is a recent Visiting Fel-low of the American Acad-emy of Arts and Sciences in Cambridge, Mass. (2009-2010).
His research focuses on the history of Roman Ca-tholicism in the American South, Catholic devotional culture, and religion in co-lonial Louisiana. Pasquier recently has published “Fathers on the Frontier: French Missionaries and the Roman Catholic Priest-hood in the United States, 1789-1870” (Oxford Univer-sity Press, 2009).
He is currently conducting a new research project on the intersection of African religions, American Indian religions and Christianity in the Lower Mississippi Val-ley during the 18th century, as well as editing a volume of essays on the study of re-ligion and culture along the Mississippi River.

try professor and director of the magnet lab’s Nucle-ar Magnetic Resonance Program Tim Cross, hope to use the spectrometer to examine the various roles proteins play in cells, dis-coveries that could lead to a better understanding of diseases.
The possibilities excite students who hope to one day contribute to future developments.
“New developments are always exciting,” FSU stu-dent and aspiring physi-cist Christian Smith said. “This technology has the potential to make a sig-nificant impact on devel-oping science.”
The technology will help benefit fields outside of the medical field as well. Other scientists plan on using the spectrometer to study materials used in
the development of a new generation of batteries.
Unlike hospital MRI and NMR magnets used in chemistry depart-ments, the new hybrid magnet will allow for the operation at a fixed-field strength, while the combined magnet and spectrometer will allow scientists to perform ex-periments across a larger range of field strengths.
Brey said he realizes the potential success of the magnet.
“Whenever there’s been a big jump in magnetic-field strength like this, people have won Nobel Prizes,” Brey said. “So who knows?”

JERUSALEM (AP)—Israel’s prime minister briefed his Cabinet Sunday on a package of security and diplomatic incentives the U.S. has proposed to entice Israel to renew lim-its on settlement construc-tion and revive moribund peace talks with the Pales-tinians.
The proposed 90-day moratorium could give both sides time to work out an agreement on the future borders of Israel and a Palestinian state, making it clear where Is-rael can continue to build and where it cannot. But the plan swiftly ran into opposition from Palestin-ians and Israeli Cabinet members alike.

The biological mother of the Australian-born dis-abled girl whose remains police say were found in North Carolina tells a television station that she has been crushed by her daughter’s death.
Emily Dietrich is in Hickory, N.C., where her daughter was reported missing more than a month ago. She told the Seven Network of Australia that she has received sympa-thy from police and com-munity members in North Carolina. Hickory police said Friday they found a bone that matches the DNA of 10-year-old Zahra Baker. It was found in an area near where the family lived until mid-September. Zahra’s stepmother, Elisa Baker, is jailed on unre-lated charges.
Studies show drug, device help treat heart

CHICAGO (AP)—There’s good news for millions of people with mild or moderate heart failure. Studies show that the Pfizer drug Inspra and an implanted device from Medtronic can boost sur-vival and cut down on trips to the hospital.
However, another drug that has been used for nearly a decade, John-son & Johnson’s Natrecor (NAY’-treh-kor), did little
to help people with severe heart failure in a study aimed at resolving safety concerns. Doctors say the drug seems safe but does not markedly help short-ness of breath or save lives.
Voters approve Arizona medical marijuana
measure
PHOENIX (AP)—By a narrow margin, Arizona voters have given their OK to legalized medical marijuana for people with chronic or debilitating dis-eases.
The decision makes Ari-zona the 15th state to ap-prove a medical marijuana law. California was the first in 1996, and 13 other states and Washington, D.C., have followed suit.
Proposition 203 won by just 4,341 votes out of more than 1.67 million bal-lots counted, according to final tallies Saturday.
Approval came as some-what of a surprise after the measure started out losing on Election Day by about 7,200 votes.
The gap gradually nar-rowed until it surged ahead during Friday’s count by more than 4,000 votes. Saturday’s final count was 841,346 in fa-vor of the measure and 837,005 opposed.

Humane society may close doors Dec. 1
The Gadsden County Hu-mane Society may be ready to close its doors. It is in dire need of funding, and many long-serving board members are simply tired. The GCHS board of direc-tors set Dec. 1 as the dead-line to assess the level of commitment. At that time, a decision will be made on whether the GCHS has enough support to contin-ue its mission.
Asked if a mass exodus of board members was im-minent, the answer from several was an emphatic, “Yes!”
The board met at its regular time Tuesday eve-ning and discussed holiday and fundraising events—including Gift Wrapping for the Holidays and a Nov. 26
adoption event at PetSmart in Killearn—as though things were going well. However, the board also re-vealed that it had less than $2,000 in the treasury, with some veterinarian bills yet to be paid.
Telfair, Nixon guilty of theft, embezzlementAfter nearly four and
a half hours of delibera-tion Friday in U.S. District Court, jurors found the for-mer president of the FAMU Credit Union and a Florida A&M University policy in-stitute director guilty of stealing about $134,000 in federal grant money. FAMU Credit Union President Eugene Telfair and Rob-ert Nixon, the director of Florida A&M University’s Institute on Urban Policy and Commerce, were each convicted on three charges of conspiracy, embezzle-ment and theft.
Telfair, who was led from the courtroom by Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor, declined to com-ment after the verdict, as did Nixon, who on the wit-ness stand Friday denied having any idea that money he received from Telfair in 2008 came from a U.S. De-partment of Housing and Urban Development grant awarded to the university.

ing reported him in “good spirits.” In a Tallahassee Democrat article, Dan-nitte Mays, David Mays’ brother, said he spoke with Mays at 7:28 a.m. the morning of the death.
“He said, ‘I’m going to the gym, and then I will come over and pick you up,’” Dannitte Mays said. “Fifteen minutes later, I’m getting a call that he’s dead.”
Court records revealed that a local doctor labeled Mays as a “high risk for suicide,” as well as the fact that he was hospital-ized for the third time for

State Attorney Willie Meggs said he is waiting for case materials from the Sheriff’s Office, and that he intends for the case to be ready for presentation to the local grand jury by December.
Current members of the Renegade Program declined to comment re-garding Mays’ death.

Sushi addicts: Sticky rice is not Japan’s only culinary namesake. Anime buffs: There is more to Japan than their cartoons. J-pop fans: There is also traditional Jap-anese music.
There are so many as-pects of Japanese culture Americans take in, but some separate into niche catego-ries to which not every for-eigner is exposed. Celebrat-ing Japanese culture as a whole gives everyone the opportunity to learn about the many aspects of tradi-tional Japanese culture that may generally get lost in the excessive appreciation of modern-day Japan.

Created in March of 2009, Foursquare is a social networking ap-plication that is both functional on the Web and on-the-go. Mobile
smartphone users have the ability to “check in” to various locations around town, earning them points and other incentives. It is currently estimated there are ap-proximately 4 million users, including those with iPhones, Androids, Blackberrys, palms and various other cell phones with “smart” capabilities.
Checking into a cer-tain venue or any number of venues may earn us-
ers “badges.” Examples of these badges include the Animal House badge (earned for checking into a college-appropriate venue), Barista (earned for checking into five different Starbucks) and BFF badge (check-ing in 10 times with the same person). There are many more badges to be earned, and they vary based on city.
Another incentive in-cludes “Mayorships.”
This occurs when a user checks into a specific venue more than any-one else, earning him or her the title of “Mayor” of that location (at least until someone else ousts them).
There is also a section for “Tips” and “To-Do Lists” in Foursquare. Us-ers give their input for exciting attractions, bars, restaurants and other places of interest.
The well-known Zagat
rating system is also inte-grated in the Foursquare application, allowing us-ers to seek out highly rat-ed restaurants or other places, which can prove particularly useful in a big, unfamiliar city. The app has also teamed up with television network Bravo and popular travel publisher Condé Nast. Over the summer, Bravo sponsored specific badg-

Joanna Newsom may be one of the more po-larizing figures in music these days, but, when most of that polarization comes down to either (a) you just can’t take her unconventional, high-pitched voice or (b) your boyfriend has a com-pletely obvious crush on her, it seems many of her detractors are missing the point.
Yet, while Newsom’s simple foundations should be anything but polarizing, some of the discomfort around her music is understand-able—she’s a storyteller who absolutely refuses to be background music.
Starting with 2004’s The Milk-Eyed Mender, this quality had News-om quickly put in with Devendra Banhart, Co-coRosie and the “New Weird American” freak folk quasi-movement that was picking up at the time. She proved herself transcendent of those tags, however, when she released the criti-cally drooled-over Ys in 2006, which only consists of five epic, sprawling tracks, all arranged by the legendary (and recent Tallahassee visitor) Van Dyke Parks.
Perhaps her most no-table achievement yet, though, came in February
of this year: Her third al-bum, Have One on Me, is a triple-LP musical mara-thon that finds Newsom both branching out and showing a level of re-straint new to her mu-sic—an album that, in the interest of full disclosure, received the one and only perfect five-out-of-five-star review I’ve written.
While fans could argue for her best record being Ys or Milk-Eyed Mender and make a solid case, Have One on Me’s News-om is one fully matured and artistically devel-oped, taking her ability to be intimate and excitedly visceral at the same time and bringing it into new heights; songs like “Baby Birch,” “Have One on Me” and “Good Intentions Paving Company” are easily among her best.
On Monday, Nov. 15, Newsom will make her Tallahassee debut at The Moon, as a part of Seven Days of Opening Nights and her remarkably re-lentless touring sched-ule.

A Small Act—Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.
Telling the story of a Kenyan boy who was able to go to college be-cause of the kindness (or, more specifically, the scholarship) of a Swed-ish stranger, and who is now a human rights advo-cate in the United Nations with plans to start his own scholarship program, this documentary explores the incredible impact a seem-ingly small act (oh, now I get it) of generosity can have on someone’s life.
So, without further ado, may I present my résumé to any wealthy Swedes who may be reading, in hopes one of you will de-cide to mail me a “small act” of unmarked bills: Single, white male.

Most people have been taught that eating meat is one of the only ways to obtain their necessary proteins for survival, and it would seem that many Americans don’t question this statement and are not opting for a meat-free diet. Could it be that our bodies can only get these pro-teins from eating animals? And, aside from words our mothers spoke when we were children, where is the proof?
Enter Forks Over Knives, a new documen-tary directed by Lee Fulk-erson and produced by Florida State University alum John Corry, which shares some fascinating findings and provides ac-tual hard evidence that animals may not be the only answer. Forks Over Knives’ journey to uncov-er the facts begins with the film’s director. Fulkerson, an average middle-aged
man, lives his life con-suming countless energy drinks, meat products and the like. During a routine doctor visit, however, he learns that his vitals are at an all-time high. He is then given an ultimatum: continue eating the way he is eating and face po-tential consequences in the future or improve his lifestyle with medications and avoid complications.
Fulkerson, however, isn’t interested in medica-tions—he wants to restore his health alternatively, and seeks the council of a new kind of medical pro-fessional, a natural doctor. This man provides Fulk-erson with an alternative diet structure consisting of only plant-based whole foods. The film brings to light some amazing clini-cal studies regarding food run by scientists and doc-tors alike, dating all the way back to the ’70s. One such study included 24 people, all at a high risk for heart attacks, trying
out a radical new alterna-tive. The study had partici-pants change their diets to exclude all meat and dairy products. Some of the patients simply couldn’t handle it—six of them dropped out within a year. The rest who stuck with the diet (some for over 20 years) showed remarkable findings.
Not only were their risks for heart attack and other such afflictions greatly re-duced, but in some cases, completely eliminated. Their bodies even repaired themselves in certain cas-es. All they had to do to repair their heart valves, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels (even eliminate erectile dysfunc-tion), was adapt to a com-pletely vegan diet.
It should come as no surprise, then, that the film may be difficult for strict carnivores to watch this film and believe what they are seeing, consid-ering our culture has be-lieved eating meat is the
only way to survive, as it has been imbedded into our lifestyles for so long.
Thankfully, Forks Over Knives accomplishes its goal fully. Fulkerson has done his homework and constructs a well-made documentary sure to de-mand viewers contem-plate the foods they eat long after they watch it.

Love or hate Grant Morri-son, there’s no denying that the scribe brings an aston-ishing amount of ingenuity, and just plain craziness, to the comic book medium. His knack for insanity has caused me to throw my hands in the air with annoy-ance on more than one oc-casion. But when the man is on, let’s face it, he’s on.
That said, I have high ex-pectations for Morrison’s upcoming run on Batman, Inc., a new ongoing series debuting this month.
Morrison and friends
have been monkeying around with Batman’s uni-verse for a couple of years. He introduced Batman’s aristocratic (and assassin) son Damian Wayne. He had the Dark Knight square off with a villainous relative. Oh, and let’s not forget, he killed Bats—well, sort of. In actuality, he sent our hero on a series of time travel shenanigans, which culminated with him find-ing out he’d been replaced (as much as that’s possible) by longtime protégé and original Robin, Dick Gray-son.
All this has led to Mor-rison’s Batman, Inc., and
what is being billed as Bruce Wayne’s return to his proper place. Except this is Morrison. Things are never that simple. The series is expected to follow Wayne as he attempts to recruit heroes to wear his symbol. Put another way, the forever-dour one is franchising his product—and that product happens to be a talent for machina-tions, pummeling goons and tights.
But before you roll your eyes in contempt for yet another Batman title, con-sider the potential of this project. I’m not saying this is going to be stellar work,
as Morrison isn’t always an easy read, but the storyline offers a few things that I believe are unique to the cape-and-tights genre.
There are a lot of super-heroes out there. Many are written similarly. A super-hero, when it comes down to it, is type of a symbol. They stand for whatever it is they stand for. The vari-ous Green Lanterns have the willpower to overcome any obstacle. Superman is the epitome of using power responsibly. And Batman—he’s brain over brawn, and fear incarnate.
In many ways, the con-cept of one person repre-
senting something more is a cliché within comic book narratives. One only has to re-watch 2008’s The Dark Knight to comprehend this statement. Characters rou-tinely refer to the impor-tance of another hero and what they represent. What is less rare is for a comic book icon to recognize the symbolic significance of his or herself, and then at-tempt to use this symbol—masthead, banner, flag, whatever you want to call it—to spread his or her brand of vigilantism. It’s arrogant, and completely in line with Batman.
More importantly, how-
ever, I envision the story dealing with Batman at-tempting to persuade, a skill set the man doesn’t possess.
Nevertheless, there are pitfalls. What Batman, Inc. could become is a bland team-up book with Bat-man globetrotting, kicking ass and then pinning a silly yellow and black Bat sym-bol on Knight and Squire or another Z-list hero who happens to be around that month.
Either way, the Batman symbol is out there; might as well see where it leads.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in art from Virginia Common-wealth University, Samuel Beam moved to Tallahas-see to pursue his MFA degree at Florida State University’s film school. Shortly thereafter, Beam
relocated to South Flori-da, where he taught film and cinematography at the University of Miami. Aside from teaching, the South Carolina native had been writing songs for several years and eventu-ally began recording on a four-track.
Soon, he caught the at-tention of Sub Pop Re-cords and released his first album, The Creek
Drank the Cradle, under the Iron & Wine moniker in 2002.
Since then, Beam has captured a global audience with his hushed indie rock sound and has released three studio albums.

Friends can also utilize Foursquare to simplify the meeting process. For example, students within the densely populated area around a university can use the app to find out where the hottest nightlife activities are happening. Users are able to preview how many others are checked into a specific place, so making new friends or keeping in touch with old ones be-comes easier.
This can also be a vi-
able way for clubs or or-ganizations on campus to get the word out about meetings, philanthropies or other events they are planning. Local busi-nesses can also use Four-square to create loyalty by rewarding the users who check in the most.
Trending locations can also garner attention that may cause more traffic to a specific venue, espe-cially if a “special” is ad-vertised on Foursquare. Local bars and venues will often draw users to their locations by in-cluding coupons or deals
when users “check in” to their location. Some local businesses around town that partake in spe-cial offers include Carra-bba’s Italian Grill, Gold’s Gym, RadioShack, Lucy and Leo’s Cupcakery and Sunberry Frozen Yogurt Company.
Users also have the op-tion of leaving comments about a venue—function-ing as a review aggregator to alert other users about a restaurant or a bar.

michaEl FErraroStaff Writer
Glory Daze is a perfect example of a show that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. Granted, only the pilot episode has been exposed to press thus far, but it is easy to see the directions this show fails to head in. The show takes place in 1986 on an unnamed Indi-ana college campus, fol-lowing a group of fresh-men with no ties to society whatsoever.
As the clichés present themselves, we quickly
learn this is just another group of outcasts. These kids aren’t the popular kind and they never re-ally figured out how to not be socially awkward. Why does it take place in 1986? That isn’t a plot device explored just yet. They figure that col-lege is their last shot to any sort of fame. It is now the first week of college and just as the boys are getting used to their class schedules, they also learn the ropes of frater-nity rushing. They will stop at nothing to get into any fraternity that will accept
them, but again, as clichés suggest, only the misfit fra-ternity on campus will even open their doors to them.
The group consists of Brian (the quiet jock), Eli (the Jewish virgin), Joel (the dreamer) and Jason (a Reagan-era con-servative). They are in-deed a varied group but they all have the same characteristics at core. These four freshmen ulti-mately make their way to the Omega Sigma house, a fraternity struggling with the demands of their na-tional chapter. This is the year they decide to take
only the members with bright futures ahead of them. That plan is quickly squashed when they fall in love with this uncomfort-able group.
This fraternity does offer a promise these kids hold dear—unlimited nights of partying, chicks and beer drinking will be in their fu-tures if they can pledge in. You can no doubt figure out what happens with only a few seconds of thought. This show’s problems defi-nitely outweigh anything it succeeds in. As countless television comedies have shown, the one thing that
makes them so success-ful is a dramatic core. We have to know what we are to care about before a con-nection is made.
Glory Daze provides no drama of interest. The conflicts have been tack-led more times than not in numerous other television shows and films. Not even the cameos sprinkled out (Tim Meadows and Brad Garrett) can save this show. Most recent pilot episodes of television programs usu-ally start a series on a high note (see The Walking Dead as a prime example). This show failed to do so.
It has a long, hard jour-ney ahead of it to make such progress (unless it gets canceled first).

The pair of red fl ags with black squares fl ap-ping in the fall wind over the Al Dunlap Practice Field declared something Florida State fans have been looking forward to since Sept. 7, 2009: It’s fi -nally Miami week again.
Fans of the game often point to Florida as FSU’s biggest rival when, in fact, the rivalry with Mi-ami has been longer-run-ning and has produced some of the more painful losses and triumphant victories for the Semi-noles.
Florida State (4-1, 2-0 ACC) and Miami have been playing since 1951 and on an annual basis since 1972. Miami owns a 31-23 advantage in the series and has won eight of the 11 matchups since the start of the new mil-lennium, including a 2004 victory in the FedEx Or-
ange Bowl. “You go in your career
and you get involved in some of the great tradi-tional rivalries in college football and you feel very blessed,” FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “When you’re a kid watching TV, you grow up [thinking], ‘Well I wish I could be a part of that,’ and this is one of them that you talk about all the time.”
When the Seminoles and Hurricanes meet on Saturday, it will be a primetime meeting with conference champion-ship implications.
The probable favorites in their respective divi-sions, Saturday’s meet-ing could be a poten-tial preview of the ACC Championship game in December, barring a resurgence by Virginia Tech in the Coastal Divi-sion or the emergence of a clear challenger to FSU in the Atlantic.
Florida State’s offense
comes into the game in quite the offensive rhythm. The now veri-table three-headed mon-ster of Jermaine Thom-as, Chris Thompson and Ty Jones in the backfi eld have the Seminoles aver-aging 208.6 rushing yards a game, good for 26th in the nation.
“Obviously we want to keep establishing the passing game, and de-velop it,” quarterback Christian Ponder said. “But right now, the run-ning game’s working and we’ll try to take advan-tage of it.”
The ’Noles will be fac-ing a Miami defense that is fi rst in the nation in tackles for loss and sec-ond only to Florida State in sacks. A key matchup will be the experience of the Seminole offensive line (with or without starting left tackle An-drew Datko) against an

Many publications and websites have been touting, seem-ingly on a nonstop cycle, The Social Net-work as “the story of Facebook.” But saying that, really, is a little misleading and unfair to the film. We may or may not now know the real “story” behind this thing that rapidly became everyone’s favorite love-hate re-lationship, but The So-cial Network is, thank-fully, more a character study of its co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, here played by the always-adorable Jesse Eisen-berg (Zombieland).
It’s hardly a secret now the way Zucker-berg, America’s most enigmatic entrepre-neur, stepped on a few heads on his way to the top—hell, it’s on the poster. In the
film, at least, it all be-gins at Harvard, with another rejection by a girl, a drunken Live-journal session and a similarly drunken website for revenge called “Face Mash” that ends up posting tens of thousands of hits in just hours. Un-der the guise of creat-ing a “match.com for Harvard students” for the rich, overachiev-ing and annoyingly handsome Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer), Zuckerberg then begins to create what would be known as “The Facebook” along with best friend and newly minted CFO Eduardo Saverin (new-comer Andrew Gar-field, who will soon be our next Peter Parker). After moving to Cali-fornia at the advice of
notorious, charismatic, slightly crazy Napster creator Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake)—and against the advice of Saverin—Zucker-berg and a crack team of heavy-drinking pro-grammers expand and develop a site that would, at a pace that would have been un-believable if it hadn’t have happened only a few years ago, gain millions upon millions of users.
Flash-forward a few years, as the film does sporadically, and the Winklevoss twins and Saverin are both taking Zuckerberg to court in high-profile lawsuits, which would both fa-mously end with un-fathomably gigantic out-of-court cash set-tlements. The Social Network, then, isn’t so much the story of Fa-
cebook, a cultural un-avoidability that, yes, I’m currently logged into, so much as it is a story of how, in try-ing to create a unified social interconnected-ness, someone ends up destroying his re-lationships with any-one who’s ever actu-ally bothered to talk to him.
Eisenberg is an abso-lute perfect choice for Zuckerberg: Eisenberg can play insufferable a**hole all he wants, but can also play it with enough awkward com-passion and puppy-dog innocence that he can keep us sympathizing, somehow, every step of the way—with an-other actor, I’m afraid most would walk out of theaters saying, “Well, great, we just

Margot and the Nucle-ar So and So’s is a folksy chamber pop ensemble from Indianapolis, Ind., known for their multi-dimensional and some-times bittersweet sound.

Actor Denzel Wash-ington and director Tony Scott must really love trains. Their last collabo-ration together—2009’s remake of The Taking of Pelham 123—was the story of a group of terror-ists stealing a train full of passengers in an attempt to seek ransom. All the while, Washington’s char-acter was in charge of talking the leader of the group out of doing any-thing stupid.
Now we get to see him engineer an actual train in Unstoppable.
Washington plays Frank, a seasoned veteran of the railways just inches from a forced retirement. Today is the day he gets to train rookie conductor Will (Star Trek’s Chris Pine). Each character comes complete with their set of family issues. Frank hasn’t figured out how to relate to his two daughters since his wife died of cancer years ago, and Will’s wife put a restraining order on him due to a domestic dis-turbance.
It’s this sort of inner tur-moil that provides each of these characters that spark of heroism when they discover there is a
train on their track that is unmanned and full of toxic chemicals. They soon real-ize that they are the only hope of actually trying to stop it.
So why is a train load-ed with such dangerous chemicals going full speed down a track loaded with other trains? This isn’t the sort of film that makes a go of a terrorist plot. It is simply human error that starts this train down the track of disaster.
Unstoppable is based on a true story of a loco-motive in Ohio that trav-eled 66 miles without a conductor. The real-life story, however, lacks ex-
citement. There weren’t any injuries to report or toxic chemicals steaming toward a heavily popu-lated town. It was just your average train moving along unmanned without consequence. Only, that wouldn’t make an exciting motion picture.
This movie isn’t an ex-ample of great writing or interesting filmmak-ing. It is just a mediocre action-disaster movie that provides audiences with enough interest to stick around. Sophisticated audiences will become derailed instantly with its too-familiar plot devices.
The film simply supplies
viewers with exactly what they should expect. Run-ning at merely an hour and 30 minutes, Unstoppable never overstays its wel-come. It is put together exactly how any other film Scott has crafted over the past few years (see Man on Fire, Domino or Déjà Vu)—epileptic cuts, rotat-ing camera movements and fast zooms.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself sticking your arms out during a screening in an attempt to still the camera. Just don’t expect it to actually work, because the movements in this film never stop to take a breath.

ent Matsuri: A Celebration of Japanese Culture. Mat-suri is a Japanese word meaning “festival” or “holi-day,” and as an English term, it is used to classify the Japanese festivals col-lectively.
The event will begin out-side in the Oglesby Union courtyard at 7 p.m., where events will be open and free to everyone of all ages. Outside, attendees may paint a pot with the aid of calligraphy laminates or customize the pots how-ever they choose. A dragon ice sculpture will also be demonstrated outside, a common aspect of Japa-nese festivals.
Sushi and other soy sauce dishes will be offered outside before the event makes its way to the inte-rior of Club Downunder at 8 p.m.
To enter Club Dow-nunder, attendees must be 18 and up, but the events will remain free for every-one. Inside the club, guests will be treated to a number of traditional Japanese per-formances, starting with a showcase of traditional
dances. Following that will be the Matsuriza Taiko Drummers with a show they often perform as a part of Disney’s Epcot. The final portion of the festival will be a Kendo and Naginata martial arts demonstration displaying the many popu-lar Japanese martial arts.
Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or simply curi-ous about getting cultured, interested parties can head to Club Downunder Nov. 18 to celebrate Japanese culture just before of one of the biggest celebrations of American culture, Thanks-giving.

p.m. Joining a long, proud line
of deathly serious indie suspense films set in the brutal South, all of which have Garret Dillahunt in them, Winter’s Bone fol-lows one woman (Jennifer Lawrence) trying to track down her drug-dealer fa-ther, who put their house up for bail bond and promptly vanished.
Now she and her family will be living in the Ozark woods unless she can find her father, all while trying not to let it tear her family apart.
This is one of those films that will be followed by words like “powerful” and “unrelenting” and “tour de force” (and “bone-
chilling,” if it weren’t so obvious)—don’t miss your two-day chance to see it now.
The Other Guys—Nov. 18 and 20 at 7:30 and 10:15 p.m., and Nov. 19 at 7 and 9:45 p.m.
The latest from the Mc-Kay/Ferrell comedy camp, The Other Guys stars Will Ferrell and Marky Mark Wahlberg as the titular “other guys” (a bumbling, odd-couple detective duo who never get a chance to shine) and, in an act of perfect casting, Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock, assumedly as “the guys” (awesome detectives who always get a chance to shine). Part spoof of a buddy-cop movie and
part spoof of buddy-cop movie spoofs—and part straight-up buddy-cop movie—The Other Guys follows the hilarity that in-evitably ensues when Fer-rell and Wahlberg have to step into the shoes of their testosterone-brimming, action-hero counterparts. Credit Misters Rock and Jackson for being two of four people in Hollywood to be able to make barrel-chested, squinting Marky Mark look puny in com-parison (the other two are both just Eddie Murphy in fatsuits).
The Room—Nov. 19 at midnight (Friday night)
A lot of to-do is made about what the “best
worst” movies ever are, and what’s fun about that debate is you’re never re-ally wrong—whether your answer is Troll 2, Ma-nos: The Hands of Fate, Heaven’s Gate or any-thing starring Nic Cage’s increasingly bad hairdos, not a whole lot can beat watching a downright aw-ful movie and tearing the thing apart.
But Tommy Wiseau’s The Room is a horse of a different species altogeth-er, because The Room, depending on how you look at it, is either the ab-solute pinnacle of modern filmmaking or the worst of the worst of the worst disasters ever conceived of, produced, written, di-rected or acted in; it could
be both, but there’s no way it’s anything in between. Financed entirely (and maybe dubiously?) by Wi-seau himself, his new king of cult movies is mind-bogglingly bad on every level you can think of and some you can’t, from poorly overdubbed dia-logue (which seem to be placed over three-fourths of Wiseau’s lines), to cast members who may or may not be slightly mentally disabled, to subplots that are picked up and dropped like Hot Potato, to a new cast member who appears in last 20 minutes of the film with no explanation, to (shudder) excruciat-ing, endless softcore sex scenes prominently fea-turing candles, R&B, what
appears to be a mosquito net and Tommy Wiseau’s ass.
Wiseau also created, however, what may be the single most quotable mov-ie ever (my left hand is currently chained down to prevent it from turning this summary into just a list of “Oh, hi” and “Do you un-derstand life?” references) and, perhaps subsequent-ly, a movie that may have taken from Rocky Horror the crown of the ultimate midnight movie. If you see one movie at the ASLC this semester, well, you should have seen Metropolis. But, if you see two, go see The Room this Friday and let’s throw some spoons together (we’ll explain later).

If there’s anything Semi-nole fans have learned this season, it’s that Flori-da State football is not for the faint of heart.
For the third week in a row, the outcome of the game was in doubt
entering the final minute of play, but this time the Seminoles prevailed on a 55-yard field goal off the golden foot of Dustin Hop-kins as time expired to lift FSU to a 16-13 victory over the Clemson Tigers, a kick that sent Doak Campbell Stadium into euphoria.
Florida State (7-3, 5-2
Atlantic Coast Confer-ence) struggled during the first half, running only 18 offensive plays for 79 yards to Clemson’s 47 plays for 209 yards. The Seminoles struggled to establish their staple run-ning game against Clem-son’s tough defensive line, which was led by defen-
sive end Da’Quan Bowers. Bowers leads the nation in sacks and recorded another against the Semi-noles, along with an inter-ception.
“Their fronts dominate and we knew it coming in that it was going to be tough,” FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “We
knew there were some mismatches up there that we were going to have to try to fight through. We knew it was going to be a very tough game.”
In the second half, the ’Noles found a rhythm on the fleet feet of redshirt
Brett JulaSports Editor
Trailing 10-6 in the fourth quarter and 85 yards away from the end zone, there was a sense of uneasiness in Doak Campbell Stadium when EJ Manuel and the of-fense took the field.
Thankfully for Semi-nole fans, the one person who couldn’t afford to feel uneasy—Manuel—did not.
The numbers weren’t flashy—15 carries, 71 yards and a touchdown, 15-of-24 for 210 yards and an interception—but it was Manuel’s ability to step up when his team needed him most that was far bigger than any measurable statistic.
With Florida State’s conference champion-ship hopes in the balance, Manuel marched those 85 yards in 12 plays and fin-ished the drive himself with an eight-yard touch-down run to put the Sem-inoles ahead 13-10. And when he took over at his own 29-yardline with just under a minute to play in a tie game, Manuel made the biggest throw of his young career when he hit Rodney Smith for an 18-yard gain to the Clemson 37-yardline that set up Dustin Hopkins’ game-winning field goal.
The closing moments may have belonged to Hopkins, but the real hero Saturday was Manuel.
There are some players who fold in crunch time, and others who bask in it. It’s almost a sixth sense —when the game’s on the line, these players instinc-tively don’t just want the ball in their hands; they need it in their hands.
I know he’s only made five career starts, but Manuel has given me the impression he’s that type of person—not only by his play, but also by the confidence he has in him-self. When asked earlier last week about the pos-sibility of filling in for an injured Christian Ponder, Manuel said it would be great if he had the chance to start. He doesn’t shy away from the spotlight and had proven last sea-son he could make big plays in the high-pressure situations.
In his five starts, Manuel has led two game-winning drives in the fourth quar-ter. The one prior to Sat-urday came last season against Maryland, when he took the offense 41 yards before Lonnie Pry-or capped the drive with a three-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds left to catapult FSU to a 29-26 win. Of the 44 yards on that drive, Manuel ac-counted for 35 of them on two big-time runs.
There really is some-thing to be said about an inexperienced player who has the poise and maturi-ty to lead a program such

The Florida State soc-cer team began postsea-son play this weekend when it hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament at the Semi-nole Soccer Complex on Friday and Sunday. This postseason marks the 11th time the Seminoles have reached the tourna-ment in their history.
The ’Noles (14-5-1) got their postseason off to a great start Friday night by thumping Middle Ten-nessee State, 3-0, in front of their home crowd.
After getting off to a slow start, Florida State caught fire when Soph-omore Breezy Hupp ripped a shot passed the goalkeeper from 30 yards out in the 44th minute.
“It changed the mo-mentum of the game,” FSU associate head coach Eric Bell said of Hupp’s goal. “You think you’re going in at the half and it’s an even game. Now we’re up a goal and Middle Tennessee has got to make adjustments.”
After Hupp’s goal opened the proverbial floodgates, Casey Short added two goals of her
own in a span of just 10 minutes to give the ’Noles a commanding 3-0 advantage.
Senior captain Aman-da DeCosta credits Hupp and her opening goal for the Seminoles’ stellar play in the second half.
“[The goal] was very emotional,” said DeCos-ta. “It was so exciting, and the bench got really excited. It changed ev-erything.”
The ’Noles outshot the Blue Raiders 15-5—sev-en of those shots coming on goal. FSU also held the advantage in corner attempts, 5-1.
Defensively, it was the 12th shutout of the year for Florida State and the 11th for freshman goal-keeper Kelsy Wys.
After South Florida defeated Auburn in the second game on Friday, the Bulls advanced to the second round for a date with the ’Noles on Sun-day afternoon.
The Bulls put up a good fight, but in the end, Flor-ida State’s attack was too much for USF to handle, as FSU defeated their in-state foes by a score of 2-1 to advance to the

Florida State’s offense hit a wall midway through the second half of the team’s season opener against North Florida.
Rather than getting knocked down when they hit that wall, they ran right through it.
The Seminoles (1-0) withstood a furious rally by the visiting Ospreys and closed the game on a 25-10 run, earning a 75-55 win Friday night at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
With the victory, FSU moved to a perfect 9-0 under head coach Leon-ard Hamilton in season openers.
“It was a good learn-ing experience for our players,” Hamilton said. “I felt that we would win the game, but I [also] felt that [UNF] did a very good job of making us work for it and earn it.”
It didn’t look like the Seminoles were going to have to work for much of
anything in the early go-ing, as they raced out to a 23-7 lead eight minutes into the game and coasted into halftime ahead 42-25 due to a balanced scor-ing effort with five play-ers scoring either six or seven points in the half. FSU also used its signa-ture lockdown defense to help build the large lead, limiting North Florida to just 8-of-24 (33.3 per-cent) shooting in the first 20 minutes and forcing 15 turnovers.
The first 10 minutes of the second half, however, would tell a far different story.
Following a Michael Snaer basket that put FSU up 50-31, the Os-preys went on a 14-0 run over the next 4:21 to close the Seminole lead to five at 50-45.
“It was just a point in the game where they wanted it more than we did,” forward Bernard James said. “I don’t know what happened—we lost our way.”

After a long offseason, it is often difficult to shake the rust off and find a rhythm again. The Florida State women’s basketball team, however, wasted no time in establishing a tem-po in their season opener, dominating Alabama State 89-39.
The Seminoles (1-0) took the lead on redshirt sophomore guard Alexa Deluzio’s opening 3-point-er and never looked back, leading the Hornets (0-1) by as many as 57 at one point in the second half.
The ’Noles were led on offense by freshman forward Natasha How-ard, who caught fire with 17 points in the second half and finished with 20 points in 19 minutes. The athletic Howard also tied for the lead in offensive rebounds with four and had seven rebounds total.
“She’s a really good bas-ketball player,” FSU head coach Sue Semrau said of Howard. “She’s fun to coach, she’s extremely fun to play with, she’s very unselfish and she works extremely hard. To have that kind of talent, that kind of IQ, you’re going
to see something really special as she continues to grow.”
Deluzio was second on the team in scoring with 17 points, and the Seminoles shot 47 percent from the floor as a team. The ’Noles also had 14 assists and were led in that category by the experience of se-nior guard Courtney Ward with four. FSU recorded 18 fast break points to Alabama State’s four and dominated the paint as well, outscoring the Hor-nets in the post 54-12.
Florida State also domi-nated on defense, out-rebounding the Hornets 59-40, forcing 29 turnovers and recording 12 steals.
“We always talk about how we’ve got to get it done on the defensive end of the floor, and when you hold a team to 20 percent shooting, they know they can get it done,” Semrau said. “We made some mis-takes, but they covered for each other, and that’s
what I really like about this team—they make bet-ter decisions than we did last year.”
Forward Cierra Bravard crashed the boards for the Seminoles, hauling in 17 rebounds and scoring 15 points to nab the first of what may be several dou-ble-doubles for the junior this season.
“Cierra has worked her tail off to get in the kind of shape she’s in,” Semrau said. “I’ve never seen her rebound like that. It was really fun to watch her re-bound the way she did.”
With the departure of last year’s leading scorer and rebounder in Jacinta Monroe, it was unclear who would step up to clean the glass for the Seminoles. If Friday’s game is any indication, it is a role Bravard is willing to accept.
“It was kind of my ini-tiative to take charge this summer and get ready for this year, because we’re a little limited in the post area and I can do it, so why not?” Bravard said.
The Seminoles will take on Auburn on Monday before returning home to face Colorado State Thurs-day night at the Donald L. Tucker Center.

as Florida State to close wins, seeing as how they have failed so many times historically in the exact situations Manuel is finding success in.
Between his large frame (6-foot-4, 226 pounds), ability to extend plays and make plays outside the pocket with either his legs or arm, Manuel reminds me most of NFL quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Josh
Freeman, who both have mastered the art of keep-ing plays alive and utiliz-ing their legs when they have to. Granted, Manuel still has a long way to go before he can truly be considered in that type of company, but the at-tributes are all there, in-cluding the most impor-tant one: winning games in the fourth quarter.
Roethlisberger has proven this time and
again throughout his ca-reer, most notably his legendary drive in Su-per Bowl XLIII when he hit Santonio Holmes in the corner of the end zone for the game’s fi-nal score and brought the Pittsburgh Steelers their sixth champion-ship. Freeman may be in his first full season as a starter, but he’s orches-trated five fourth-quarter comebacks alone this
season and has Tampa in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Whether Manuel pans out to be like Roethlis-berger or Freeman is still very much in the air, but one thing is certain: When No. 3 goes under center full-time starting in 2011, I’ll be a little more com-fortable in pressure-filled fourth quarters than I have in the past.

As his game-winning field goal attempt against North Carolina on Nov. 6 sailed right in the waning seconds of the game, Flor-ida State kicker Dustin Hopkins knew immedi-ately what he had done wrong.
“I left my hips open,” Hopkins said following the devastating 37-35 loss.
Head coach Jimbo Fisher assured Hopkins that he would have an-other chance to kick a game-winner before his time at FSU was through, and that was exactly what happened Saturday night against Clemson.
With the score tied 13-13, Hopkins found himself standing 55 yards away from the south end zone goal posts, staring down a shot at redemption.
This time, he made sure to get his hips through.
In a story that Hol-lywood could not have scripted any better, Hop-kins emphatically drove the ball through the up-rights from 55 yards out to give the ’Noles the 16-13 victory as time expired, igniting Doak Campbell Stadium into frenzy.
“It felt pretty good [off my foot] but about halfway I thought it was starting to fade left, so I was willing it to the right,” Hopkins said. “When I saw that it was going to be good, Shawn [Powell] jumped up and started yelling so I just took off. I didn’t want to get dog-piled—there are some big dudes out there.”
For the third straight
Hopkins goes from zero to hero, boosts ’Noles with walk-off kick
What a difference a week makes
Melina Vastola/FSViewcierra Bravard was a force for the Seminoles in their season opener, scoring 15 points and grabbing 17 rebounds.
Reid Compton/FSViewDustin Hopkins made up for his two missed field goals against North carolina with his 55-yard game-winner against clemson.
game, Florida State had an opportunity to secure a win in the final quarter. But even after the first two resulted in devastat-ing losses, including Hop-kins’ miss last week, the Seminoles had no doubt their kicker was going to come through in the clutch on Saturday.
“No matter what, he’s still the best kicker in the country,” linebacker Nigel Bradham said. “We had the confidence in him.”
After Clemson knotted the score at 13 with just under a minute to play, quarterback EJ Manuel, who was filling in for the injured Christian Ponder, orchestrated a drive to put the ’Noles in posi-tion for the game-winning kick.
“I knew Dustin was go-ing to be able to make it
wherever the ball was placed at,” Manuel said. “He did a great job.”
For most kickers, a 55-yard kick is a stretch. But for Hopkins, who pos-sesses one of the stron-gest legs in college foot-ball, it was well within range.
As the game came down to virtually the same situ-ation as the week before against UNC, Hopkins said it was exactly what he had hoped for.
“After it happened last week, I was hoping that I’d get the chance this week,” Hopkins said. “[After] how rough it was, just to lose like that in a close game, it made this kick that much more spe-cial.”
After leaving last week’s kick wide right, Hopkins was focused on
the process that Fisher always preaches prior to his attempt this week.
“I definitely thought about last week,” Hop-kins said. “I thought about the mistake I made last week. I kind of babied it last week, whereas this week I was really focused on swinging through and keeping my eyes down.”
Every kicker dreams about kicking the game-winner as time expires. For Hopkins, that dream finally came to fruition against Clemson, keeping FSU alive in the Atlantic Coast Conference race.
“That was my first [game-winning kick] ever,” he said. “God has a plan, and the way it worked out is amazing. I can’t even describe it. I definitely wanted this to happen this week.”

North Florida hung tough on the defensive end, only being outrebounded 41-36 for the game and utilizing a mixture of man-to-man and zone defenses that gave Florida State some problems and enabled the Ospreys to climb back in the game.
“You always got to ex-pect teams to give you their best shot,” point guard Derwin Kitchen said. “We jumped out early, but when they went zone, we couldn’t score. Then, at the start of the second half, they went man-to-man and we still couldn’t score. They did a pretty good job.”
With UNF owning the game’s momentum, the Seminoles quickly took it back when Luke Loucks buried a 3-pointer on FSU’s ensuing posses-sion. Chris Singleton fol-lowed Loucks’ triple with a steal and a thunderous dunk, putting the ’Noles up 10 and effectively giv-ing them control for the remainder of the game.
Arguably the biggest reason why the Seminoles were able to come away with a win Friday night was the play of James, who posted a double-dou-ble with a team-high 15 points and 10 rebounds in his Florida State debut af-ter playing last season at Tallahassee Community
College.With forward Xavier
Gibson plagued by foul trouble and reserve for-ward Terrance Shannon out with an injury, James took on a much larger role against the Ospreys than many probably ex-pected.
The Seminoles’ overall depth, however, made up for Gibson’s ineffective-ness and Shannon’s ab-sence.
“Our team is built where we’re really deep at every position,” James said. “Any given night, anybody can come out and lead the team in scoring. I think that’s one of our virtues. We’re learning how to tap into that and not rely on one single person so we can get the job done every night.”
Following the game, Kitchen emphasized how important James will be if FSU hopes to have a suc-cessful season.
“We’re going to need that from Bernard,” Kitch-en said. “Xavier fouled out and we’ve got Terrence out with an injury, so he basically was our only big man. He really stepped up and took full advantage of it.”
The Seminoles were also in action Sunday af-ternoon at UNC-Greens-boro. For a recap of that game, visit fsunews.com.

FSU scores two key wins against UNC, N.C. State
Volleyball rises to the occasion
sophomore EJ Manuel, who accounted for 71 of Florida State’s 97 rushing yards and had no trouble throwing the ball when given the occasion while filling in for the injured Christian Ponder.
On his first pass of the game, Manuel found a wide-open Rodney Smith on a post route downfield for a gain of 53 yards. The Manuel-Smith connection would become a familiar sight, as Manuel would find Smith again for a 42-yard gain in the third quar-ter and Smith would finish with a team-leading four
receptions for 121 yards. To start the fourth quar-
ter, Manuel engineered an 85-yard touchdown drive that was capped off with an 8-yard touchdown rush to give the Seminoles their first lead of the game at 13-10 with 10:08 remaining.
“I was proud of the way EJ competed in the game,” Fisher said. “He never lost his poise, never lost his composure and I’ve said this all along, as a charac-ter and a competitor, he’s a carbon copy of [Ponder].”
After the two teams traded possessions, Clem-son broke through to tie
the game on a 29-yard field goal by Tigers kicker Chan-dler Catanzaro, and the Seminoles took over from their own 29 yard line with 50 seconds remaining.
After a pass interference call and another comple-tion from Manuel to Smith good for 18 yards, Hopkins stepped onto the field with three seconds remain-ing in the game to kick at the same uprights he had missed on in the final min-ute last week against North Carolina.
Hopkins got a chance to look at the 55-yard attempt before Clemson tried to
ice him, desperately using a timeout. Doak Campbell Stadium held its collective breath as the kick sailed through the air, and the instant it became appar-ent that Hopkins’ kick was true, the stadium erupted and Hopkins sprinted as far as he could before being mobbed by team-mates.
“After [Hopkins] missed the field goal last week, we told him he’s still our favorite kicker and, no matter what, he’s still the best kicker in the country and that’s the way we felt,” linebacker Nigel Bradham
said. “We had a confi-dence in him and he prob-ably would have made that from about 75 yards the way it looked.”
After crushing defeats in the two previous weeks, the dramatic victory pro-vided the Seminoles with a boost they desperately needed going into their fi-nal conference game next week.
“We needed some confi-dence and that’s what we got out of this win right here,” Smith said. “It gave us some hope that we can get in that conference championship game.”
While their ACC cham-pionship hopes are still in doubt, mathematically, the ’Noles are alive for another week, tied atop the ACC Atlantic Division standings with N.C. State. The Semi-noles will take on the Mary-land Terrapins Saturday, Nov. 20 in College Park, Md. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Sweet 16 of the tourna-ment.
After a sluggish start against Middle Tennessee Friday, Florida State got on the board early against USF when freshman de-fender Kassey Kallman blasted a shot into the goal in the 24th minute. Kallman’s goal came off a corner kick found her just inside the box for the scoring opportunity.
The Bulls struck back, however, answering with a goal of their own before halftime with a 44th min-ute strike off a ricochet from Sharla Passariello to even the score at 1-1. Passariello’s goal was her second of the tournament, and the only one that FSU has surrendered thus far in the postseason.
Order was restored for the ’Noles in the 59th min-ute, when junior forward Toni Pressley scored the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick to give FSU the lead for good.

With the win over USF, Florida State will advance to face the winner of third-seeded Marquette and Wisconsin on Nov. 19.
With their two victories this weekend, FSU im-proves to 29-9-2 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, including a 20-1 mark all-time when hosting tourna-ment games at the Semi-nole Soccer Complex.

As the season winds down, each victory be-comes more and more critical, not only for mo-mentum entering post-season tournaments, but for conference standings. The Florida State women’s volleyball team was very much conscious of this fact when they kicked off a November home stand this weekend. The Seminoles capitalized on their oppor-tunity with a 3-2 (25-18, 25-20, 21-25, 18-25, 15-12) vic-tory over conference rival UNC Tar Heels and a 3-0 (25-11, 25-13, 26-24) defeat of N.C. State.
Against UNC on Friday, FSU’s defense propelled them through the first two
sets and allowed them to hang with North Carolina in the ensuing two, setting up a fifth set showdown. The ’Noles recorded 14.5 blocks, their third most as a team this season, and held the Tar Heels to a .200 attack percentage.
In the tense fifth set, the Seminoles were led by outside hitters Visnja Djurdjevic and Jekaterina Stepanova. With the set tied at 11, Stepanova had two consecutive kills to put the ’Noles up 13-11. Stepanova finished with eight kills and nine digs.
The Tar Heels, however, refused to go away and bat-tled back to tie the score yet again. But after UNC committed a foot fault, FSU was given the serve with match point in the balance.
Junior Patricia Figueiredo put her foot on the neck of the Tar Heels with a service ace that sealed the victory for the Seminoles.
“I was very proud of the way we fought back in set five,” head coach Chris Poole said. “Volleyball is a huge momentum sport. We played well in the first two games, lost the momentum in the third and fourth, and I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to pick it back up.”
It was the Seminoles’ sixth win over a Top 50 RPI team this season, which is sure to improve their post-season hopes and overall RPI ranking.
Against the Wolfpack (13-16, 3-14) the Seminoles (18-9, 10-7) downed NC State in three straight sets
on senior day, dominating the match from start to fin-ish. Defensively, the ’Noles held the Wolfpack to a .099 attack percentage and FSU recorded 47 digs as a team. Djurdjevic led the team with six digs and four oth-er Seminoles earned four or more.
On the attack the ’Noles had 40 kills as a team, in-cluding 12 by senior out-side hitter Stephanie Nev-ille. Stepanova was second on the team with nine kills and sophomore set-ter Duygu Duzceler led the team with 18 assists.
Florida State extended their win streak over N.C. State to 22 and hasn’t lost to the Wolfpack since Sept. 29, 2000. With their win over N.C. State, the Seminoles recorded their
tenth win in conference this season. The ’Noles will play their third game
of a six-game home stand on Friday, Nov. 19 against Maryland at 7 p.m.

Stepping away from the marijuana legalization dia-tribe for a while, there is something interesting hap-pening with another more common drug that you probably see every day in one form or another. The FDA recently released new proposed cigarette warn-ing labels, and they are much more colorful than their predecessors, to say the least. These new labels feature quite the variety of images; some examples being of a mother blowing smoke on her baby and another one that shows a toe tag on a corpse. It was a bit surprising to see that
the FDA would push for such graphic images—you can go onto the FDA site to see them for yourself. Some are kind of funny looking, some are boring, and some, I think, would hit the mark in terms of the squirm factor. There’s a very notable one with the person having a hole in their throat from smok-ing, and it’s pretty gnarly-looking.
The new warning labels would take up half a pack on the front and back, so they definitely would be noticeable to anyone pur-chasing the cigarettes. The new requirements also state that on any adver-tisements the new warn-ings must take up at least 20 percent of the adver-tisement. These new re-quirements are a lot larger
than the current ones—right now the warnings box only takes up a small amount of space on either the box or in magazines.
Even though I think that there are very good inten-tions here, I question how much good it will do in reducing cigarette smok-ing. I really don’t see many people stopping just be-cause of an uncomfortable label on the box. I could see new smokers being a bit more deterred and ca-sual smokers being more discrete about where they leave their boxes, but in the long run, it isn’t help-ing much in combating the long-term problem of smoking. In my experi-ence, it seems that often the first cigarettes are bummed from friends, and at that point the per-
son isn’t going to really care about some warning labels on the box, be it the current black text or the larger proposed picture labels.
Also, tobacco compa-nies aren’t stupid. They sell a product that, in it-self, is very addicting, con-sequently self-selling, and has a demand that isn’t going to go down sharply anytime soon. By Oct. 22, 2012, manufacturers will have to put whichever warnings get approved onto their products, and I bet that they are already looking at designs and dis-play cases that limit con-sumer exposure as much as possible. They’ll be able to keep moving forward just fine.
So what can be done to combat cigarette smok-
ing then? Education is always a factor, and I think that it provides the strongest front to keep kids from starting. Unfor-tunately, it doesn’t help with peer pressure, and for that there isn’t much that can be done through the government. Raising prices is always an option, though the effectiveness of “sin taxes” is suspect, because people will still pay more for something they view as a need if they are addicted. Prohibition/illegalization is out—we know how far that got our country with alcohol. That brings it back to these new labels, which are expected to somehow fill a gap that no other means has yet to fill.
It almost feels like fail-ure is the only option.
Cigarettes: the still-legal suicideMy View
A rant, soccer edition
brian PEtritiStaff Writer
One of the most under-rated athletic programs at FSU has come under hot water in recent weeks because of its decision to leave its starters in Talla-hassee ahead of an ACC tournament. The reason: the NCAA tournament was right around the cor-ner and head coach Mark Krikorian, as most other coaches in his position would have done, decided to rest his star players.
The ACC, in their infi-
nite wisdom, decided to reprimand the team with a one-game suspension for the coach and a cou-ple of hefty fines.
This made me frown at the ACC.
The ’Noles should al-ready have an unsavory taste in their mouth com-ing by way of ACC offici-ating the past couple of football games. But this decision is outright ridic-ulous.
ACC Commissioner John Swofford blamed FSU for not showing good sportsmanship and going into the ACC Tournament in bad faith. As a soccer fan, I must object.
If you watched the World Cup this summer,
you would have noticed certain teams at the end of the group phase fielding secondary starting elev-ens. If you watch any club soccer at all, you would know that the Coppa Ita-lia, FA Cup, Copa del Rey and the DFB-Pokal all fea-ture sub-standard starting elevens.
This comes because the cups are only secondary in value to the domestic leagues. The ACC tour-nament gives its winner an automatic bid into a 64-team tournament that FSU already was guaran-teed to get into. Outside of lay prestige, the cup has no other perks to of-fer the winner that would outweigh going into the
NCAA tournament rested and healthy.
In fact, logistically, the NCAA would want a team like Wake Forest to win the ACC so that they can get better seeding into the NCAA tournament and establish our conference as a soccer powerhouse. A slap on the wrist is ac-ceptable and even expect-ed. But fines of $25,000 and apology letters?
If the ACC wants to make its championship game important, they need to at least offer as much as they would be potentially taking away by hosting a champion-ship so close to the NCAA tournament.
FSU is still very well
placed to get far into the NCAA tournament, and our back-ups and future starters have an extra spring in their steps by way of playing in the ACC championship against a strong team that fielded starters.
We cannot be faulted for doing what was ratio-nal at the time. If the op-posite is true and the ACC is right, then the domestic competitions in Europe and the World Cup should fine teams for not tiring their players even though the outcome of the ac-tion has no consequence. But, in the rational world, coaches decide line-ups, not FIFA, UEFA, the FIGC or the FA.

“Over the next two years? Absolutely noth-ing. Afterwards, it all de-pends on the 2012 elec-tion.” —Chris Gismondi, freshman
“It’s going to cause more turmoil. There’s just going to be more fighting and problems.” —Destiny Thompson, freshman
“We’ll have more conser-vative legislation passed than we otherwise would have.” —Kia Smith, freshman
“The fact that we have a divided government (with a Democratic President and now a majority Re-publican House) might mean that policy will go into another direction. I think there will be a lot of changes, but I hope they will be for the better. I hope that both parties will remain conscious of the needs of the American people.” —Terrence Wil-liams, sophomore
“I’m a little skeptical. I’m not sure that the Re-publicans are going to have a chance to make the changes that they have been promising.” —Alena Geringer, sophomore

Iranian nuclear weapons a threat
Although Iran contin-ues to claim its nuclear development program is designed for peace-ful purposes, U.S. intel-ligence services believe Iran is developing nucle-
ar weapons.A number of countries
have nuclear weapons, but these countries are considered stable and they fall within the pa-rameters of mutual de-terrence and rational conduct, except for North Korea. We are currently working with Russia, China and other Asian countries to at-
tempt to control North Korea’s nuclear threats.
Iran poses a signifi-cant risk to use nuclear weapons because of its unstable leadership. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has pro-claimed that Israel, the U.S. and other Western countries are Iran’s en-emies, and could come under attack by Iran de-
pending on conditions in the region and the world. The Iranian Defense Min-istry recently published information on a nucle-ar attack strategy to be used against the U.S. and Israel and possibly other countries.
Many Arab countries in the Middle East are wary of Iran’s intentions and are concerned with
the regional dominance of a nuclear-armed Iran.
Economic sanctions imposed on Iran have not deterred it from de-veloping nuclear weap-ons. Time is running out and the options to neu-tralize the Iranian nucle-ar weapons program are becoming more limited.
