Stores rebuild clientele after O Street opens Weston Poor Daily Nebraskan From April to July, various parts of O Street were under construction, leaving many businesses in the affected area wondering what to do. Beginning April 16, many business were left with no other option but to stay open during the resurfacing project on O Street, hoping customers wouldn’t be deterred by the construction in front of their buildings. Traffic and sales dropped dramatically during construction months, said Shea O’Brien, storefront manager for The Gameroom. “April, May and June were the worst,” she said. In addition, the parking situation was an obstacle for the discount video gaming store because it doesn’t have a parking lot, O’Brien said. There was some confusion
between The Gameroom and the city as to what would happen to the parking spaces in front of the building. “We heard from the city during the construction that they might put parking back, but we were still unsure,” O’Brien said. During construction, The Gameroom used Facebook to update customers about construction and hours for both of their locations. Daniel Benes, owner of Timeless Treasures on O Street, said many of his repeat customers stayed but infrequent customers were scarce during construction. He added in the first month of construction, the antique store saw a 15 percent decline of sales, dropping to about 30 percent during the second month. “We know we’d take a tap in the business,” Benes said. “But we knew things would be better

UNL tied to Higgs particle discovery Weston Poor Daily Nebraskan The physics department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has been busy this summer with one of its higher priority collaborations, which involves new discoveries in the field of high-energy particle physics. On July 4, the science community announced to the world the observance of a new particle, which could help further understanding about the world around us. Daniel Claes, UNL physics professor, says the discovery of the Higgs boson particle, an elusive element in particle physics, could potentially prove the existence of the Higgs field, which explains why all elementary particles acquire mass.
Greg Snow, UNL physics professor, added the discovery could provide a complete understanding of the subatomic world. Some know it as the “God particle,” named after a book written with the same title by physicist Leon Lederman. Ethan Van Winkle, a UNL senior physics major, said it’s a catchy name, but it has little to no actual meaning for the description of the particle itself. Van Winkle speculated that the discovery was given a Sigma five rating by European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) because it has a very low chance of being a fluke. There are two independent experiments associated with

Brooklyn-based Ocean makes waves band digs deep with hypnotic tracks with stoic mix Joe Wade Daily Nebraskan Brooklyn indie rock band The Antlers have a new four-song EP, “Undersea,” which was released July 24. This dreamy, stoic mix of layered instruments is quite possibly the ideal accompaniment for that first cup of coffee in the morning, the last little sip before bed and all those times in between when you just need to relax. The EP’s total playing time isn’t much more than 20 minutes., but there’s no need to be in a hurry. These songs take their time but still manage to hold you in a mood of spaced-out chill from the first to the last note. There are no unwanted side effects or strenuous demands on the listener to get into the groove, so sit back, relax and repeat as needed. “Undersea” opens with the already released single “Drift Dive,” which wastes no time getting to that place of ethereal bliss as it jumps right in with a drone-like atmospheric blend. Setting the mood and carrying the listener is the almost Hawaiian twang of an electric slide guitar which

fluidly slips in and out of the milky stratus of harmonies. Peter Silberman’s vocals soar hazily throughout each song adding texture and a breath of life, without overcomplicating the experience. Although the lyrics are masked by ambience through much of the album, it offers that extra piece of contemplation which will keep listeners coming back to dig into the groove deeper or climbing higher especially on the eightminute song “Endless Ladder.” Also noteworthy is the bluesy “Crest,” where the vocals shine through and amplify the counter-melody of the horns which could be considered a vocal part in their own right. Even if the particular style isn’t your normal fare, I urge you to at least give it a try. This album could be easy to miss because it’s an EP, but that would be missing out.

Frank Ocean is all about crafting a scene and mood. “Channel Orange” is a summer album that weaves in and out of styles. Ocean pushes stylistic boundaries throughout the record, but fails to push boundaries lyrically and vocally on several cuts of the album. Though Ocean is known for his poignant and poetic songwriting, there are a handful of moments when Ocean seems to idle in directionless lyricism. Despite its drawbacks, this album is the soundtrack of late summer for young romantics and pensive youths with soulful sensibilities. The album really begins with “Sierra Leone,” one of the top tracks of the album. The beat is hypnotic, simple and almost seductive. It quickly reaches an airy, stringsprinkled climax then slowly deconstructs with great taste. It’s paced well, almost like a dream. “Pilot Jones,” has a promising premise; it hopes to be a cautionary tale of the drawbacks of the supposed comfort one finds in various highs. Unfortunately, Ocean makes the expected metaphorical connection between a drug dealer to a
pilot. The track could be a gem if there was lyrical and musical direction but the song seems to idle for a little over a minute before fizzling out. “Channel Orange’s” first single, “Pyramids,” is a lyrical miss. Ocean attempts to draw ambitious parallels to the great Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, who was thought to sleep with rulers to gain power, to today’s stripper and prostitute. Though the historical grounding is slight, there is still a small chance to craft a smart track. Unfortunately, Ocean goes nowhere. It’s a good thing that “Pyramids” is an excellent dance tune with two separate grooves — one upbeat and electric, the other smooth and head-nod worthy. There is only one gem on this album and it’s “Bad Religion.” It’s one of the best songs about unrequited love this year. What gives the song more weight isn’t the excellent string arrangement and production, but the story and emotion behind it. Soon before releasing “Channel Orange,” Ocean posted an open letter on Tumblr, describing the first time he fell in love a few years ago — with a man. “Bad Religion” is as honest and candid as the letter and it is crafted in a way that doesn’t condone religion at

all. The loss of unrequited love and the pain of keeping it secret is a greater force than religion itself, so much that prayers wouldn’t help at all. Though Ocean has a handful of songs that seem to idle, the rest of the tracklist is so strong, the album still has a sense of direction. This is an excellent sophomore album from the R&B singer-songwriter whose future works will continue to be dope, as long as he preserves
Cartoon explodes on screen with retro animation Kekeli Dawes Daily Nebraskan In its first two episodes, the new Adult Swim animated show “Black Dynamite” tackles Michael Jackson and pornography. If you want to spend time talking about how edgy that is, go ahead. There are too many shows these days that spend time building controversy and forget quality. “Black Dynamite” is quality. It’s visual, musical and comedic excellence — and it really can appeal to everyone (if you don’t mind shows with rampant censoring bleeps, the words “honky” and “cracker” or ninjas — but who doesn’t love ninjas?) It’s a visual dream. The show has a distinct ‘70s color scheme. In each scene, the first thing you notice is the artwork. The colors are vivid and rich, the inking is sharp and precise and the background, scenery, and skies are soft, bled watercolors. The action is fluid and quick. It’s one part high-grade anime, one part cartoon slapstick, with classic “wham” and “bam” cuts in action sequences. Visually, “Black Dynamite” is pure eye candy.
Now, to the comedy. The timing is brilliant — quite a feat for a cartoon. This isn’t only because of the great writing but also the voice acting. The cast is the same as the “Black Dynamite” film, so the characters are full of personality and life. “Black Dynamite” is hilariously stoic and unfunny, Cream Corn is still whiny and childish and Bullhorn is loud as ever. Everything Bullhorn says rhymes. The show is full of gags from the movie, gags from ‘70s Blaxploitation flicks and corny cartoons. Gags are also borrowed from “The Boondocks,” like ad-libs and quips from extra characters and bystanders, a trademark from the acclaimed Adult Swim cartoon. Of course, the return of Carl Jones and “The Boondocks” team is what made this show one of the most anticipated shows of the summer. The television adaptation of cartoonist Aaron McGruder’s syndicated strip was one of the first anime, or even popular television cartoons, to satire American and Black American culture and society. Known for its quick wit, interesting perspectives on issues, constant controversy and quality music, the show spent

Media coverage of alleged shooter misplaces focus More than two weeks ago, America saw one of the deadliest shooting sprees in its history. In times like this, it’s completely normal to reevaluate how the world works. But while everyone raises flags about gun control, they seem to miss one other important aspect of this situation — how media cover something like this. After the horrific shooting, the alleged killer’s face and name was plastered all over this country’s newspapers, televisions and computer screens. The motives of the accused are unknown, but one possibility being thrown around is that it’s all for fame — to kill his way into the history books. Since the massacre happened two weeks ago, there hasn’t been a single day where his face isn’t on some form of popular media. We can’t say the accused killer did this because he wanted to be infamous — but that’s certainly what he got. As news organizations, it’s our job to keep the world informed. However, journalism ethics require that we also minimize harm. It’s a fine line to walk as a news organization. You have to cover the news for your audience, but you also have to understand the implications. When President Obama visited Aurora, Colo., last week, he refused to say the name of the alleged killer, saying the accused received too much media attention and it needed to fade. The Daily Nebraskan agrees with the president on this touchy issue. Of course, we would never say news shouldn’t run — but this has gone too far. National organizations need to leave the courtroom in Colorado and let local news stations cover their news. At the very least, they need to stop plastering his face everywhere. Readers and viewers around America will still be able to get their fix, but national organizations will be minimizing harm. Because that’s part of the job. It’s certainly not to give a madman what exactly what he wants. opinion@dailynebraskan.com

Band’s breakup serves as reminder of realities of life, family-like ties
T
Neil Orians Daily Nebraskan
he worst part of being in a band is when it ends. There is no such thing as a band that lives forever. It’s one thing when the band falls apart. I’ve been in groups where members lose touch and everything just fades away. When members don’t fight to stay together and continue to create music, it clearly wasn’t worth the time in the first place. Sometimes members move on. Omaha-based Straight Outta Junior High disbanded for a while when its lead singer
went through a divorce and decided to add stability to his life by getting a real job. Lincoln’s own JV Allstars went through similar circumstances where members had gone on to live “real” lives and pursue something else. My old band, The Heat Machine, is another example of that. The Heat Machine breaking up was a really rough time for the seven of us. Even though I was only in the band for about eight months, as opposed to the four years the rest of the band put in, the Machine had become a part of my life. Because of that band, I met people who, very literally, changed my life plans. I stopped regretting my decision to transfer from my dream school because of that band. I made the best friends of my life and finally began to figure out my place in the world. Yeah, music can do that. Bands can do that. It’s more
than just performing music you love. Being in a band and traveling across the country together is like having another family. An awesome family that you get to party with every night and wake up next to every morning, and it never gets creepy. Tensions can run high living in close quarters with the same people for a month at a time, but after about a week’s worth of rest, there’s nothing in the world I want to do more than head back out with my family. Only one romantic breakup has affected me like the Heat Machine’s did, and that was a relationship, oddly enough, credited to me being in that band. But even so, the Heat Machine was so much more than a nice guy to date. It was so much more than that fuzzy feeling you get when you connect with someone in a romantic way. At the risk of sounding
cliche, it was much bigger than all of us. It was opportunity. There are always more fish in the sea, but where are all the awesome kids who want to play ska music together? How many of us can get together and make great sounds? The fact is, we’re few and far between. It’s not as easy as “Oh hey, I’ll make a new band today” — it takes work and chemistry. Musicians are a dime a dozen, but to get the right mixture is something that takes years of work and dedication. So the next time your favorite band breaks up, know that nine times out of 10 it’s a hundred times harder for them to deal with than you. For us, it’s an end of an era and the end of something that was great to at least a few people. At the end of the day, that’s all that really matters.

U.S. market bears broken system with no easy fix
E
Jiajun (Abe) Xu Daily Nebraskan
ven though the country needs to elect a president to make economic policies, the economy is the economy. This year is an election year and job creation is one of the topics that candidates from either party can’t avoid. Every responsible citizen should have an idea about the economy before he or she casts a vote. This is a very complicated issue. No simple fix is available. The opinion offered here is nowhere close to a complete plan but a reflection on
some simple facts in our life: minimum wage, outsourcing, social welfare and an ideal society. The economy isn’t doing very well right now. People are looking for jobs, but a lot of them can’t find them. The unemployment rate in the U.S. from June is 8.2 percent. Employers think labor is too expensive but employees think jobs don’t pay enough. In a pure market system, the supply and demand of labor should reach equilibrium. But right now, the federal and state minimum wages are in the way. In contrast, minimum wage is more flexible outside of the U.S., so jobs are shipped to other countries. This is called outsourcing. The situation looks easy enough to fix: abandon the minimum wage and free the market system from governmental regulations. This will dramatically lower minimum
wage and as a result, will increase the gap between the rich and the poor. People who currently have minimum wage jobs would not like it. Politically, this would be a disaster to whichever party who is brave enough to talk about it. Given the fact that most people would agree that lowering the minimum wage could move more jobs back to the U.S, the reality is nobody is willing to pursue a policy that would cut minimum wage. As long as the cost of labor is more expensive than it should be in a free market, there won’t be enough jobs in America to lower the unemployment rate. As a result, outsourcing will continue. Depreciating the dollar’s value might help the minimum wage crisis, but it takes a long time and add more risks to the global economy. At a time when there are so many uncertainties in the Euro Zone, it’s
extremely difficult to depreciate the U.S. currency. Even if, somehow, society managed to cut minimum wage, the new jobs created by the market aren’t necessarily for Americans. The wages generated from those jobs may be lower than the current unemployment benefits. In fact, society may be better off if the minimum wage stays high. Lowering the unemployment rate with low payment jobs isn’t the solution. Besides minimum wage, there are also social welfare programs. The 2010 Nobel Prize winners concluded that “more generous unemployment benefits give rise to higher unemployment and longer search times.” If living a good life for free matters more than working hard to earn a better life, why would people work? People may argue this is a political issue. To some extent, it’s a reflection
of human nature: Pursue a life that is more stable and more comfortable. To achieve these goals people demand more unemployment benefits, more retirement benefits and a cheap, high-quality healthcare system. On the other hand, people like to get all those and spend as little as possible. It’s no secret that there’s no such things as a free lunch. People should only earn their benefits through hard work. But that is an example of the ideal world. The reality is that benefits are free from the government if you know how to get them. Once you get them, you can basically get by with minimal or no work. If taxes don’t generate enough revenue to support those benefits, the government can either borrow money or raise taxes. Raising taxes has never been a popular political decision, so borrowing is the choice of politicians.
Prosperity started with people pursuing higher standard of living through hard work. When the accumulated hard work makes people take a high standard of living for granted, problems rise. Currently, people spend more than they make. Maintaining a certain standards of living matters more than staying out of the debt to our generation and our parents’ generation. American society is trying to reach the equilibrium, but it takes time for the process. It requires courage to make hard decisions and it will need millions of people’s efforts. It matters to have you understand your situation, and think about your possible options. Ultimately, society will change if the collective efforts are large enough. And your actions count.

KICKING OFF THE SEASON Although play is a month away, Big Ten football got an early start last week at an annual press event in Chicago
Pelini praises NU at Big Ten Media Days Lanny Holstein Daily Nebraskan Husker coach Bo Pelini’s theme throughout the Big Ten Media Days event Thursday was one of optimism and accountability. The fifth year head coach had nothing but good things to say about his team for the upcoming year and praised their work ethic, motivation and pride during his 15 minute appearance in front of a national media audience. He repeatedly said his team has taken more accountability for its performance this offseason and that he looks forward to seeing the changes on the field that result from that. “With everything that we’ve done, with everything that we incorporate in our training, we try to up the level of accountability, up the attention to detail,” he said. “And that’s been our theme from beginning to end. And I think it’s been good. And I like what it’s done to kind of set us up for the fall.” Senior running back Rex Burkhead, senior linebacker Will Compton and senior tight end Kyler Reed accompanied Pelini to Chicago for the event. The coach said it was tough to decide which three players to bring with him, but that he chose his team’s representatives because of their leadership. “It’s hard to pick three guys because we have a lot of leadership on our football team,”
Pelini said. “But I think you’ll see that these three guys represent not only Nebraska but the Big Ten and college football.” He described Burkhead as the leader of the offense and Compton as his counterpart on the defense. Reed is what he calls a playmaker for the offense. Looking forward to the season, Pelini speculated on the prospects of improving on 2011’s results. He said the second go around for the Huskers in the Big Ten may be a bit easier than the first. “I think a year under our belt, having some familiarity with the conference, with the teams, with the style of offenses and defenses (helps),” Pelini said. “There’s one thing seeing it on film; there’s another thing living it and seeing it in person, firsthand.” The coach said at one point that it is his goal for the team to get to and win the Big Ten Championship this season. Last season the Huskers came close to making the title game, but were unable to overcome a few key losses at the end of the season. Losses to Northwestern and Michigan put an end to the team’s chances. Pelini hasn’t forgotten that and is motivated to get over the hump this year. “I’m concentrating on winning as many football games as we can, to put ourselves in position to be in that championship game,” he said. Quarterback Taylor Martinez
lanny holstein | daily nebraskan
plays a key role in getting the Huskers their first conference championship since 1999, according to Pelini. The coach says he is ready to take on the challenge and has improved
drastically from year two to year three. “Well, my expectations for Taylor are high,” he said. “I think his best football’s ahead of him, and I think he’s had a
tremendous offseason. I’m glad he’s our quarterback.” Although Pelini’s time behind the podium was small, it was enough for his optimism to become evident. The coach
■■BIG TEN PLAYERS TO LOOK OUT FOR
1
Denard Robinson Michigan QB
Michigan is going to be a very good team this season and Robinson will be at the head of the attack. Be on the lookout for how opposing defenses attempt to slow him down. Teams may load the box and force this run-first quarterback to beat them with his arm. He has proven to be a shaky passer during the course of his career but seems to have a knack for
getting the ball to his receivers in the clutch. It will be interesting to see how that works out this season. Keep an eye on this guy. One of the most electric and fan-friendly players to come through college football in recent memory, Robinson is poised for a huge year.
Ball 2 Montee Wisconsin RB What’s not to love about Ball?
He is a great runner and a polished speaker in front of the media. This guy is the Big Ten’s best shot at getting a Heisman trophy this season. In fact, Badger coach Bret Bielema said he and the Wisconsin athletic department are making an effort to aid his Heisman campaign. What does that mean? Bielema wouldn’t say, but we might be looking at some TV ad space or even a larger-than-life billboard in Times Square ... Joey Harrington anybody?
fully expects big things in 2012. “I’m proud of these guys,” he said. “I’m proud of our football team, and we’re looking forward to the season ahead.”

Rex Burkhead
Nebraska RB
Burkhead returns as the workhorse in the Nebraska backfield. The senior has been on the field since his freshman season and has a year under his belt as the clear-cut starter. With Tim Beck moving toward a shotgun zone read offense, look for Burkhead to get a lot of work on the ground. This guy is invaluable to the team as a leader and as chain moving
force. He’s going to get the ball a lot, so keep an eye on him. He also may be getting the ball in a few more creative ways as teams key on him harder than ever.
O’Brien 4 Danny Wisconsin QB
Although he wasn’t among the three Wisconsin players in attendance in Chicago, people talked about O’Brien extensively. The junior quarterback comes to
Madison as the second transfer player at the position in as many years for the Badgers. Wisconsin coach Brett Bielema praised him as a player that “fits right into the system” and said he’s a guy that will be a hit in the locker room. Look for this guy to have a solid year behind center and smoothly follow in Russell Wilson’s footsteps. He was a solid player at Maryland for a couple seasons before making the move to Wisconsin. His numbers from his time there may not be great, but he can play.

Penn State: We want to move on from scandal Lanny Holstein Daily Nebraskan Penn State coach Bill O’Brien just wants to move on. The coach and three of his players answered questions regarding the NCAA sanctions handed down earlier in the week at the Big Ten Media Days event in Chicago. The coach acknowledged the importance of the story to the media but said he and his players must move on from the events of the last eight or nine months in order to have a successful season and to get the move the university in the right direction. “I’ve heard the talk that ‘This is so bad,’ and ‘What are we going to do,’” O’Brien said. “I don’t see it that way. I see it as an opportunity. I see it as a little bit of adversity that we need to overcome.” O’Brien said the first thing he and his staff need to do is focus on keeping players on the roster. Reports of outside coaches looking to recruit his players and take them away have him trying to hold down the ship. “The key is, number one, to keep this 2012 team together, which right now it is together,” he said. “We’ve got to continue to communicate with our players, and that’s what we’re doing on a daily basis, minuteto-minute, we’re communicating with these players.” Illinois coach Tim Beckman, who talked later in the day, admitted to sending assistant coaches to State College, Pa. in an attempt to recruit Nittany Lion players. “We were in State College, but we did not go on campus,” he said. “We went to two establishments outside campus and called some individuals and if they wanted to come by, it was their opportunity to come by.” The NCAA made an exception earlier this week to its
lanny holstein | daily nebraskan
normal transfer rules for Penn State players as part of the sanctions it put on the school. Nittany Lion players are free to transfer to any other school without having to sit out a year or lose any eligibility. O’Brien said he hasn’t lost a single player to transfers at this point and thinks the team will hold together well. He
complimented the unity and the resolve of the players on multiple occasions. “There’s a lot of discussions going on with our football team right now,” he said. “We’ve got a group of young men there, like I said, that are sticking together.” O’Brien said he isn’t worried about dealing with a limited number of scholarships over
the next four years. The NCAA docked Penn State 20 of them each year, but O’Brien said that the 65 remaining are enough for him to build a team with. “I came from a league where there were 53 players on the roster, eight practice squad players and 45 players on the active roster, 21 on offense, 21 on defense, three specialists on
Blackshirts lack star power in upcoming season
Lanny Holstein Daily Nebraskan Husker football fans are getting antsy and I don’t blame them. Michigan appears to be on the rise, Wisconsin recently found itself another mercenary quarterback and new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is already stealing recruits before he even coaches a Big Ten game. It’s a competitive time to be playing and recruiting in the Big Ten conference. Year five of Bo Pelini’s career at Nebraska is a crucial one for the coach and for the program. The season represents the first year of play in which the team is comprised
completely of Pelini recruits. In previous years, the team had a group of players leftover from previous coach Bill Callahan’s recruiting efforts including Ndamukong Suh, Prince Amukamara and Niles Paul. It will be interesting to see what Pelini does with his own players. The coach’s efforts in the recruiting arena don’t receive near the acclaim that Callahan’s did, but his teams have been more successful. Some suggest that Pelini was simply “coaching up” Callahan’s players. The merit of that theory will be put to the test this season. Case in point will be the defense. This edition of the Husker defense features minimal star power. In the past, Pelini’s defenses had at least one or two players that could carry the unit (Suh or Amukamara, for example), someone that could essentially lock up his level of the defense. Even last season — Pelini’s worst defense at
Nebraska — he had three players of this caliber: Jared Crick, Alfonso Dennard and the most dominant of the bunch, LaVonte David. Those players allowed the coach to experiment
with his other weapons and he often found ways to hound opposing offenses. Though it might be difficult

game day,” the coach said. “So I’m pretty well aware of how to handle a roster of 65 scholarship players. We have plans in place. I’m not going to get into the details of those, but they’re already in the works. I don’t think that that’s as bad as everybody says it is.” Only time will tell what happens to the Penn State football

team, but O’Brien doesn’t seem fazed by what his team is going through. He said he truly believes they will stay together. “These kids have a lot of pride in Penn State and pride in the university,” he said. “And most importantly, they have tremendous commitment to each other.”

Eagles need to soar above last season in the dog days of late July and, as football fans, we need something to keep us going in this slow period (baseball is the only thing keeping most of us alive right now). A look into the future is just what we need. Specifically, let’s look at the future of the Philadelphia Eagles, a team with a lot to prove in 2012. The Eagles are coming off a disappointing 2011 campaign in which they struggled their way to an 8-8 record and missed the playoffs. They finished tied for second in their

division, the NFC East. Their record put them even with the Dallas Cowboys and behind Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the division. The Eagles have to improve significantly over their disastrous effort last season. They are a team with about as much potential as any team in the league. Offensively they should be dynamite. Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson offer more explosive athleticism than any other quarterback-running back-wide receiver trio out there. Those
three players alone are enough to carry an offense and when Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek and Ronnie Brown are entered into the equation, Philadelphia looks stacked. Defensively, the Eagles were solid in 2011, at least statistically. The unit managed a top -10 finish in yards allowed per game (324.9) and in points allowed per game (20.5). The biggest concern with the Eagle defense was the late game lapses. Philadelphia could have finished as a top-five defense had it cleaned up a play here or there that cost it late in games. The bottom line is that the Eagles did give up those plays
and they did lose those games. The stats reflect that. “Coulda, shoulda, woulda” doesn’t get it done in the NFL. It never will. Still, the potential is there for this team to play at a high level. Say what you want about them losing close games, or falling apart late. This team is chock full of talent. If they can put a full game, or better yet, a full season together, look out. That’s what makes them so intriguing. Fans in Philadelphia aren’t going to take it easy on this team. Eagles fans aren’t exactly known for their sympathetic ways in the first place (just ask Donovan McNabb
about that), but they really expect a lot out of this team after the noise management made in the 2011 offseason. Moves that brought in Ronnie Brown, Jason Babin, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Cullen Jenkins and Nnamdi Asomugha had fans expecting this team to flat out dominate in 2011. After they underperformed to those expectations, don’t expect any sympathy heading their way in 2012. Any slight leeway the team may have been allowed in 2011 is used up. The “honeymoon” period is over and this team is expected to perform

Nick Myers Daily Nebraskan When the Olympics started Friday, not every competing
athlete was playing a sport. A ghastly accusation, maybe, but hear me out. In order to be a sport, there must be a concrete way to score or the event must be timed. Swimming, for example, is a sport because he or she who is fastest gets the gold. Football is a sport because every touchdown scored is worth six points, no matter how it happened. Diving, gymnastics, figure skating and any other event or activity in which a panel judges the participants aren’t sports — they are competitions. No matter how objective the judges are, bias will happen. Not necessarily for one’s country, but maybe one of the judges is partial to a particular move. The winner of these competitions is great, no doubt, but there’s no proving the results would have been the same if the judges had been different. When judging an event in the Olympics, all the participants are excellent, so splitting those hairs increases the possibility of it simply coming down to what the judges thought. Please don’t confuse playing a sport with possessing athletic ability. Baseball players are in a sport and gymnasts aren’t but gymnasts are better athletes. Their body control, balance and strength pound-for-pound are wicked awesome. The Sultan of Swat wasn’t exactly a beacon of athletic prowess. A new scoring system was put in place for gymnastics in the 2008 Olympics. It separated the scoring into two categories. In the first category the requirements, difficulty and
connections of the routine are judged. This category starts at zero and grows accordingly. In the second category the execution of the routine is judged and the score starts at 10. Points are then deducted accordingly for violations like stepping out of bounds or going over the time limit. This new system provides more information to the fans on why a gymnasts receive the scores they do, but the athlete is still at the mercy of what a handful of people think of their routine. Events that are actually considered sports can be broken into a few subsets: athletic, skill and leisure. The athletic sports include, but are not limited to: football, basketball, wrestling, swimming, soccer and hockey. For all of these it’s imperative for the athletes to be in top physical condition in areas such as strength, endurance and agility. There are also skill sports. Baseball is the quintessential skill sport. You can be a great baseball player without being a supreme athlete. John Kruk, “Baseball Tonight” analyst and former Phillies/Padres/White Sox first baseman, is famous for saying “I’m not an athlete. I’m a professional baseball player.” Kruk finished his career with a .300 batting average and he’s a rather short, portly man who could be described as cheeky. Then there’s the leisure sport. These include basically all the games you can play in a bar: darts, billiards and bowling to name a few. For those of you

HIGGS
FROM PAGE 5 to find a standout similar to past years, there is talent on the defensive side of the ball. The 2012 Blackshirts feature as much, if not more, experience than any other Nebraska unit in the last five to six years. They just don’t have those “stud” players. Even with the departure of three-year starter Dennard, the secondary should be much improved in the coming year because of the depth and experience built last season. Juniors Andrew Green and Ciante Evans, who started the bulk of the games at cornerback for Nebraska in 2011, appear to be more comfortable. Neither looked exceptional last season, but both showed enough to strike hope in the heart of any Husker fan. An interesting addition to the secondary is junior college transfer Mohammed Seisay. The coaches apparently like the junior, as they moved Evans from corner to the nickel position to make room for him. Mark down Seisay’s name as a player to watch in the early season. His success (or failure) will go a long way in determining the structure and success of the defense as a whole. Combine those players with returning safeties Daimion Stafford, P.J. Smith and Courtney Osborne, and you have an abundance of experience in the back end of the Husker defense. The question is whether a Pelini defense can attain success without star players. He has the team he recruited, a team full of good but not highly touted players, and this year the experience is there. The kids should know the system and be

in tune with the Pelini schemes, but can they put it all together and play well? The one surefire star on this team is senior running back Rex Burkhead. He will once again lead the offense in 2012. As a scoring unit, the level of production comes and goes with junior quarterback Taylor Martinez. The Martinez code is a tough one to decipher. All reports coming out of the Husker camp this spring raved about the quarterback’s improved footwork and throwing mechanics, but how much of that can be believed? Just a year ago, the same types of reports came out of practice and the improvement Martinez showed didn’t quite correlate. Put me down as an optimist. I saw enough improvement throughout the season in 2011 that I will give Martinez the benefit of the doubt. The guy was only a sophomore and showed signs that he may have a quarterback’s head on his shoulders. If Nebraska gets an improved Martinez in the passing game, the ceiling is high. Receivers Kenny Bell, Jamal Turner, Quincy Enunwa and tight end Kyler Reed make up a solid threat. Bell could be special with a quarterback that can get him the ball. Like any other team, the 2012 Huskers have gaps to fill but they look to have an abundance of experience. In year five of the Pelini “process,” it is time for some results. The coach’s first four seasons each ended with four losses. There has to be improvement on that stat this season. DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM/SPORTS
the particle. One is ATLAS, based at CERN. The other is the Compact Muon Solenoid, or CMS. UNL’s physics department assists with CMS operations. “More than 3,000 scientists, engineers and students from 172 institutes in 40 countries” contribute to CMS, according to the experiment’s website. Students at UNL helped assemble pieces of the CMS and then sent them to CERN for the experiment. One UNL student also helped create and maintain some of the equipment in Geneva, Switzerland, where the Large Hadron Collider at CERN conducts the proton-toproton collision experiments.
“We’ve had group members studying the debris in the particle collision,” Claes said. “We’ve had people build equipment for the five-story detector.” Claes also mentioned UNL is one of the seven computing centers across the country that is analyzing information for the global collaboration. “At UNL we have a very powerful computing center crunching information,” Snow said. “This puts us in a very important position.” Snow said the development of the equipment to detect and analyze these collisions helped create new technologies with more practical applications
than subatomic particle detection. These same technologies were used to develop things people use in their everyday lives, for example, the internet. For one UNL senior math and physics major, Cameron Bravo, the experiment is hands on. “I work on CMS with (UNL’s) group, doing work for the upgrade of the detector that found the particle,” Bravo said. “The CMS detector is kind of like an onion with seven different layers that all do something, and I work on the innermost layer called the pixel tracker.” Bravo also commented that
the atmosphere around CERN at the time of the Higgs boson announcement was “pretty exciting; everyone around CERN was very happy and talking about it for a while.” Despite having more work to do before the discovery can be confirmed, Bravo said he’s optimistic, whatever the outcome. “What’s more exciting to me about what happened on the fourth was not that it couldn’t be a standard model,” Bravo said. “And I don’t think it is, but if it’s not then that means there’s something more out there and we get to keep running tests and I have a job in the future.”

‘Beasts’ delves into child’s imagination Tom Helberg Daily Nebraskan “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” by first-time director Benh Zeitlin, is a magic realist film like you’ve never seen before. In a secluded bayou community dubbed “The Bathtub,” a 6-year-old girl named Hushpuppy (QuvenzhanéeWallis) lives with her father Wink (Dwight Henry). They inexplicably have two homes and a gaggle of pets that just might become dinner. The girl serves as the film’s narrator, inviting you into a child’s mind where it is impossible to tell where reality ends and fantasy begins. Hushpuppy’s father is ailing and on the brink of death and her mother has already passed
long ago. A devastating storm floods the area, forcing the pair to live on a boat. As they float around the bayou searching for survivors, Hushpuppy tries to repair the structure of her world so it can fit back in its place with the rest of the universe. Meanwhile, some fearsome prehistoric creatures have thawed from a thousand year slumber and are menacingly headed for the Bathtub. “Beasts” was shot on Super 16, giving the images a satisfyingly gritty aesthetic. Produced on a $1.3 million budget, Zeitlin does a lot with relatively little. Creative special effects and an uncompromisingly odd story make for some wildly imaginative filmmaking. The film is more about images and moods than a standard plot and is far more

poetic than narrative based. The filmmakers capture some unforgettable images, proving that handheld camerawork can be done very, very well. The distinction between fantasy and reality is indiscernible and unimportant. The world that Zeitlin has created is so fully realized that the realism and magical elements feel as one. Simply put, “Beasts of the Southern Wild” is an

We have good months and bad months, so we’re used to stuff like this.” During the construction period customers were allowed to park around the block and access the rear entrance for Timeless Treasures, so customers didn’t have to walk along construction, Benes said. With construction finished, the shop’s owner says he’s “busier than ever now.” “I know the Game Room took a tap as well as BB&R Pawn but we used the time to work on projects around the shop, doing some renovations.” Other businesses followed
suit, taking advantage of the low customer traffic and renovating their businesses. The Gameroom is working to construct an arcade in the back portion of the shop as well as add other vintage gaming accessibility. Benes worked on projects to refurbish the antique shop and Goodwill is under complete renovation. “We didn’t have as many out-of-towners during that time,” O’Brien said. “Tere was still a positive light because they got a lot of the renovations done. We hope everything will pick up soon.”

To cure this quandary, the powers that be could change the rules back to they way boxing used to be. Rounds weren’t timed, instead they would continue until someone was knocked down.

Philadelphia is an interesting story no matter how the team does. Even if they come out of the gate fast, injuries are still a major concern on a team that employs two of the most run-oriented quarterbacks in the league (Vick and Vince Young). They are volatile in a way few teams are because of their reliance on those players. They are also a constant threat to make a push though, should they fall behind in the standings early. Keep an eye on these guys throughout the season. It will be an interesting ride.

now. The Eagles have to prove that they can play a full 60 minutes and not relax at the end of a game they are winning. Too often the Eagles let victory slip from their grasp in 2011. The good news for Eagles fans is that most of the team’s struggles came early in the year. They started the season off 1-4 before turning things around. If finishing strong is any indicator for the success of a team moving forward, the Eagles are in good shape. The team ran off four wins to end the season and looked to have gelled a bit as a team.
