Students can find new style with simple tricks story by Blair Englund It may not seem like it, with the temperature in the upper 90s and humidity levels so high that walking across campus feels like taking a swim through a nasty pool, but soon we’ll be transitioning into fall. Fall classes will start, a new crop of freshman will wander the sidewalks trying to figure out whether they are supposed to be in Andrews or Andersen, and a bevy of people will cool their feet in the City Union Fountain. This is as good a time as any for trying something new with your old clothes.
ROLL IT UP
If you’re tired of ankle sweat and ratty hems on your favorite pants, then it’s time to consider rolling them up. This also gives you a great chance to show off your socks. If you already wear skinny denim then just cuff them to your desired level of calf-exposure and head on out. If you are more a fan of straight and slim straight cuts, then perhaps give the tight-roll a try. This 80’s trick has come back in full force in the past couple years (many tutorials exist online). Rolling shirt sleeves has been de rigueur for students and professors for many years, but don’t hesitate to try rolling up the sleeves on your t-shirts and other sleeved tops. Rolled sleeves on lightweight jackets, trenches, and unstructured blazers have also entered the scene recently. Give it a try. Remember it’s not about rules; it’s about being comfortable.
Local retailers tailor to fall fashion
story by Adrienne Anderson As summer comes to a close and the fall semester descends, students and young adults across the country are looking to restock their closets with the latest trends and fashions. Popular fashion magazine Vogue tells readers to look for a sophisticated, “1940s film noir chic” collection of garments, complete with strong accessories and bold hats. Marie Claire magazine boasts of nautical themes that will carry through the end of summer and into the fall. But what are the young adults of Lincoln looking for when it comes to fall fashion? What are small boutiques stocking in order to appease the students that hope to be

LIGHT LAYERS
Don’t think for a second that I won’t talk about layering. The possibilities are limitless, man. Overshirts in loose, lightweight fabrics over tanks and henleys are standard, but if treated like a jacket, it looks awesome worn over a button-down shirt. A chambray shirt works just like a denim jacket and when it gets chillier go all out on the flannel. On warmer days try layering two tanks or an a-shirt and tank in contrasting colors or patterns. Same with t-shirts, just roll STYLE: the sleeves up to show what’s

ASUN uneasy about debt
Student government utilizes social media to engage elected officials art by Spenser Albertsen
CAMERON MOUNT DAILY NEBRASKAN
Summer might be a time of relaxation for most students, but for ASUN student government leaders, there’s as much anxiety now as ever. That’s largely due to the United States government debt talks which are becoming increasingly worrisome the longer a deal isn’t made. For students who rely on government aid, like Pell Grants, the affects of these discussions may make a university education unaffordable. ASUN president Lane Carr was recently among 50 student body presidents who signed a letter addressed to President Obama and all members of Congress, urging bipartisan cooperation. “This is not about politics,” the letter reads. “Our country and our future are in serious trouble, and the clock is ticking.” The student group also had a recent conference call with the President, in which he applauded the coalition’s efforts and encouraged them to continue pushing the Senate and House toward agreement. Specifically, Carr says, their efforts have turned to House Speaker John Boehner. Carr spoke about how important the internet has been in organizing and enacting their efforts. “Social media has been playing a large part in the effort,” he said. “ASUN has been Tweeting at our representatives and including the hashtag “#dowehaveadealyet.” He said that those interested in their efforts can check their website: dowehaveadealyet.com. The site currently sports a large, bold “NO”
and links to contact Senate and House leaders. Eric Kamler, Government Liaison Committee Chairman for ASUN, has had the opportunity to meet directly with government leaders to discuss the situation. He spent a week in Washington D.C., and while there sat down with four out of five of Nebraska’s state representatives. He says that Senator Reid’s proposed bill on the Democratic side looks to preserve the Pell Grants at their current level. With House Leader Boehner’s proposed bill, however, cuts would be made. In the end, Kamler said, there will need to be a compromise between the two sides. He says that more than 27 percent of University of NebraskaLincoln students take advantage of Pell Grant money, which is why he made it one of his top priorities while in Washington. “I think that’s something that we need to maintain, especially here at the university,” he said. Pell Grants weren’t the only area with uncertain future. Kamler cited university research dollars as another major question mark at this point. Kamler says that speaking with Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns gave him the most insight into the likelihood outcome, and that as of their meeting, he wasn’t optimistic about an immediate deal. “The feeling I get too is that it likely won’t get done before August 2,” he said. “And we could be seeing some serious consequences here.”
ADRIENNE ANDERSON DAILY NEBRASKAN
Despite the anxiety and frustration going on, Kamler said his time in Washington was beneficial for both ASUN and the university as a whole. “A student government doesn’t work well unless we have relationships at other levels of government and at other levels of institutions,” he said. “Partnerships help create a lot of things, from getting our ideas through, to helping out with developing programs at the university, and at the student government level to benefit the university and
students.” Debt ceiling negations are the most immediate concern, but Carr says ASUN has many goals in motion going into the school year, including a new bereavement policy. “There is not a uniform policy regarding student’s absences when a loved one passes away,” he said. “We have been in contact with our colleagues from Purdue who have pioneered such a policy, and will be working with administrators almost immediately to discuss such a policy at UNL.” Also of concern is the size of ASUN’s Senate in the face of a growing university population. “We are working with our current formula for allocating senators to see in what ways we can increase the size of our senate,” Carr said. An ASUN representative also recently attended a Big Ten Sportsmanship Conference in Iowa to craft a statement to be adopted by all Big Ten schools

Company creates virtual worlds KIM BUCKLEY DAILY NEBRASKAN
Green Bein’ Productions is a production studio that makes video games, virtual worlds and mobile apps. The company also specializes in marketing solutions for companies that want to engage youths.

The company started in 2009 and has already launched Kid Command, a virtual world site where children can play games, and SYNCH, where consumers can play and build their own games. Ward said she felt what the company does is important for several reasons. “I know technology is a big push for the governor of Nebraska,” she said. “I think we’re a nice addition to Nebraska and Lincoln (in terms of economic development).” Ward said she felt the company also provided a nice, cool atmosphere for students at

Devin McDermott, a junior advertising major at UNL, is one of the interns at Green Bein’ Productions. In her internship, she said she does a lot of gaming world work and building virtual
houses while using programs like Photoshop and ToolSuite. She said she applied for the job because she had a friend working at the company and the company wanted people known by those in the company to create a cohesive work environment. “I‘ve learned so much about the gaming world,” she said. “It surprised me how much work it takes to create a mobile app, a virtual house.” McDermott said she thought it would be interesting

In 2009, the Nebraska Transportation Center received a $1 million grant from the EPA to reduce diesel emissions from commercial trucks. Recently, the Transportation Center completed its project, fitting 273 trucks with auxiliary power units (APUs) to save nearly 300 gallons of diesel fuel per year. Dr. Larry Rilett, the director of the Transportation Center and a civil engineering professor at UNL, maintained that there were three major ways this grant made a difference and kept diesel fuel emissions from negatively affecting the environment. Fuel savings were one of the major ways this grant had an impact on the community. “We have estimated total savings are 80 to 90 gallons total. In addition, the truck engines will last longer as they will not be in idle for long periods of time,” Rilett said. As the EPA stated in a 2005 study, about 22 pounds of carbon dioxide are emitted from a gallon of diesel fuel. Saving 80,000 to 90,000 gallons makes a difference in environmental standards. By working to reduce the amount of time a commercial truck idles, not only can truck drivers save money on fuel, but they are also able to keep their trucks in working condition longer. This means they are able to reduce the amount of harmful gas emissions that are released into the environment while trucks remain idle, sometimes as long as overnight. The APUs that were installed on the commercial trucks will have a postitive impact on the environment. “All of the trucks travel to many large cities, which are often in EPA non-attainment zones,” Rilett said. This means that all of the trucks that are outfitted with APUs are traveling in areas with poor air quality. However, with the APUs, the Transportation Center aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 1,000 tons, translating into massive health savings and a general cleaner air quality for the major cities. Finally, these APUs have a huge impact on the truck drivers, and the other drivers who share the road with these commercial trucks. “Many urban areas do not allow trucks to idle for longer than 5 to 15 minutes,” Rilett

said, and as a result, truck drivers are forced to rest without the truck running and allowing the weather conditions to take a toll on a truck driver’s sleep quality. As Rilett put it, “The APUs will allow the drivers to rest in comfort, thereby allowing the drivers to be well-rested before resuming their travel.” Kenneth Winston, chapter Lobbyist for the Nebraska Sierra Club, agreed wholeheartedly. “This is a really good deal because if you can have an auxiliary power unit that uses a fraction of the fuel, that’s a reduction in emissions and also emissions produced in fuel and just all the costs that are involved,” Winston said. The Nebraska Sierra Club works as a grassroots advocacy that supports environmental conservation and change. “I think it’s a tremendous idea and I hope they can do it in more places,” Winston said. “This could benefit everybody.”

Media shouldn’t exploit tragedy The tragic shooting in Norway is just that: a tragedy. However, many news organizations and pundits almost instantly decided to politicize the tragedy to further their political ends. To name a few, we have Fox’s Bill O’Reilly criticizing the usage of the word “Christian” to describe the shooter, Anders Behring Breivik. “No one believing in Jesus commits mass murder,” O’Reilly said on his show. And on the other hand, there’s the LA Times, blaming radical right-wing thinking for the attack. “Conservative pundits are getting back some of what they’ve been dishing out for years, finding themselves being unfairly blamed for the actions of those who share their ideology but take it to violent extremes,” the newspaper said in a July 26 editorial. Haven’t we had enough of this? Instead of being united in the horror of this tragedy, we’re divided by this foolish and ridiculous rhetoric. Such mean-spiritedness prevents us from healing. Furthermore, it is unfair to the people of Norway and others who have been affected by this act of violence. Terrorism is terrorism no matter what political beliefs the terrorist subscribes to. Anyone who uses his or her beliefs as justification for a mass killing or harming of others is wrong to do so. In the years after the terrorist attacks that touched our country in 2001, our nation has become more polarized and divided. Ideology, not careful consideration and thought, define the talking points. The media have played into this and become a punchline - a money machine that reports the news and comments blatantly to appease the base audience. Let us hope this kind of irresponsibility in both politics and the media will not plague Norway in the years to come, as it has plagued us. What we need are solutions to the problem of terrorism, not finger pointing or smug behavior. Let’s put aside our differences so we can have a brighter and better tomorrow.

Anthony trial spurs mixed reactions
O
n July 17, 2011, after being in jail for three years awaiting trial for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Casey Anthony was released. America went
crazy. If you were to log on to Twitter or Facebook, many posts bashed Casey Anthony, the judicial system or both, or honored 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Kim Kardashian tweeted “WHAT!!!!???!!!! CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! I am speechless!!!” Miley Cyrus tweeted “You know the world is skewed when people get away with murdering children but we can’t get gay marriage legalized in the state of California.” More stars who tweeted about the verdict included Carson Daly, Star Jones and Jason Biggs. This woman, who didn’t report her missing daughter for 31 days, who went out and partied and even got a tattoo saying “Bella Vita” ( beautiful life in Italian) wasn’t found guilty of murder? This woman lied to everyone and told family and friends her daughter was with a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez, a woman who didn’t even exist. She later said Caylee was kidnapped by this nonexistent woman. Another story, which Casey admitted to on trial, was that Caylee accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool.
GABRIELLE LAZARO During the 31 days Caylee was believed to be missing and kidnapped by babysitter Zaneida Gonzalez, many pictures of Casey drinking and having a good time surfaced. According to the Florida Times-Union, Casey entered a swimsuit contest and promoted night club events during this time. With all this information being released to the media, it’s easy for people to believe she’s guilty. It isn’t hard to believe that someone who doesn’t care that their daughter is missing or dead killed them. Casey Anthony’s actions after her daughter died or went missing and the lies she told makes it easy for one to assume she did it. But if you actually take a look at the motive Casey Anthony had to murder her daughter, it doesn’t make much sense. The prosecutors claimed Casey Anthony murdered her daughter so she’d have more time to party. But would a woman who appeared
to love her daughter and had plenty of back-up parenting really go to the extent of murdering her kid? The only way this claim would make sense is if Casey was seriously mentally ill, for which there’s no evidence. To go against human nature and take the life of your child instead of caring for her requires somebody to be very unstable and having the urge to party doesn’t quite cut it. Another factor the prosecutors put into play was the fact that Caylee was getting to the age where she would be able to reveal her mother’s lies. This also doesn’t make much sense because anyone close to Casey was probably somewhat aware of her antics already. Casey could easily teach young Caylee to lie for her; many children lie for their mothers. Because there was no concrete evidence the trial was based on psychology. Any credible psychologist would never agree with these motives, however. Of course, judging by Casey’s antics of going out and partying while her daughter was missing or dead, it’s hard to believe she minded her daughter being gone. Casey will continue to reap the benefits now that she’s released from jail. According to abcnews.com, she could make up to $750,000 with a book deal and movie

Borders closings not detrimental to book industry
L
ast week, I scoured my bedroom for Borders gift cards, wiped off their dust, and set out for the book megastore for the final time. On July 18, Borders announced it was liquidating its remaining stores. Along with droves of other book buyers (seriously, maybe they should have announced their closure more often), I cashed in before the shelves were emptied. Packed elbow-to-elbow inside the massive two-story building, there were more faces than books. It’s an unfortunate fate, especially considering 10,700 people will be left without jobs, according to CNN.com. But it’s not the mark of death for books like some have suggested. In fact, the outlook for literature has never been better. Bookstore purists blame Borders for forcing out cozy independent shops, but I never held animosity. A bookstore is a bookstore. Sure, you don’t have the thrill of stumbling upon an incredible find for 75 cents in Borders, but you were surrounded by just about every book you could think of. Being inside Borders was like being inside the Internet, tangibly interacting with all the information and entertainment you could imagine. So how did I end up sheepishly handing over my three Borders gift cards, so
obviously from three separate Christmases that I couldn’t bear to look the cashier in the eye? This may be overly simplistic, but in short: Amazon. The same books I bought for $20 and $9 on my recent visit were available for $8 and $4 on Amazon.com, including free shipping and two-day delivery. I can’t thumb through them beforehand online, but I can read hundreds of reviews, find users with similar thoughtprocesses, and match their buying habits with my own. And even that is bordering on oldschool in the growing demand for automation. A new startup program called BookLamp recommends books with an intricate algorithm based on specific writing styles and themes. Users will “be able to request ‘something like ‘The Da Vinci Code’” but ‘less dense’ or ‘shorter’ or ‘more fight scenes.’ Described as the Pandora.com of books, the company has formed a partnership with 11 publishers and is already breaking even. That’s impressive for a new startup. With ideas so easily and digestibly published online, many claim print is on a downward spiral toward irrelevancy. Certainly with so much more media at our disposable, books aren’t as popular as they once were. However, it’s not nearly as calamitous
CAMERON MOUNT as the ominously red GOING OUT OF BUSINESS banners suggest. In fact, according to a recent article in the Economist, American book publishers “reported growth across all platforms in 2010.” Barnes & Noble, for one, successfully invested in e-books and e-readers with its NOOK. Borders, on the other hand, foolishly clung to CDs and DVDs, and played catch-up too late with their Kobo e-reader. The problem isn’t demand. The problem is how to make money off it. In addition to anticipating new media, the way we think about entertainment has fundamentally changed. The constantly online expect their media to be not only instantaneous, but free as well. The problem is familiar to music and video companies. Surprisingly, those industries are now discovering how to make money, even from professed
pirates. Netflix has become almost as ubiquitous as cable in the last couple of years, now boasting 25 million subscribers. Its recently announced price increase (a 60 percent hike if you use DVDs and streaming) could take away a chunk once enacted, but its reputation seems to be good enough to pull them through. More recently, Spotify has taken the music industry by storm, now servicing over 10 million users. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is fond of saying that for a music service to succeed, it has to be more convenient than piracy. Spotify gives free and legal access to music from all the major music labels, with seamless Facebook integration and playlist sharing. For a monthly fee, users also get higher quality, no ads, and phone access. Ek was the former CEO of uTorrent, a popular tool for pirating. He understands that media has to evolve with users’ changing habits, not pretend it doesn’t exist. Netflix and Spotify have shown that evolving to demands can enhance, rather than merely control, the media experience. If the book industry expects success, or at the very least profits, books are going to have to undergo the same realization as the music and film industries. At $14, an iPad app of T.S. Eliot’s
enigmatic and difficult 1992 poem “The Waste Land” might sound like an unexpected bestseller, but it was the No. 1 book app for a while in both the U.S. and U.K. It includes a plethora of elegantly-designed interactive features to help decipher the text, including a copy of the original manuscript with Ezra Pound’s handwritten edits. It immerses the reader, even though e-reader denouncers claim e-books do the opposite. Digital books have their problems, but like the road to Netflix and Spotify, it’s because people are still experimenting with what works. The potential is too great to not see where pushing the boundaries takes us. J.K. Rowling’s recently announced Pottermore is likely the most anticipated example of this. The online world promises interactive e-books of the “Harry Potter” books, a massive online community, and 18,000 words of unpublished text by Rowling. Will it work? Who knows? But media must evolve with our changing habits and behaviors. Only then will the best minds and talent be able to perfect their craft in the way art is meant to: as an honest expression of the society it comes

in-the-know when it comes to fashion? The biggest focus seems to be on denim. Skinny jeans, of course, have been the trend for a few years, and the fashion gurus of Lincoln have no doubt that they will continue to be popular. But the skinny jeans will be joined by other denim cuts this fall, says Matel Rokke, owner of Tsuru Boutique in downtown Lincoln. This fall, Rokke said, she expects to see “lots of flair legged jeans, ‘70s kind of bohemian and ‘60s mod styles.” She wasn’t the only one who noticed this trend popping up. Sheila Glasco, co-owner of Stella’s Boutique, also located in downtown Lincoln, agreed. “Skinny jeans [will be popular], and I think the flare and bootcut, and even some of the bellbottoms also,” Glasco said. This wide variety of styles allows shoppers the chance to stray from the skinny jeanclad crowd and try denim with a different shape and a different vibe. Denim isn’t the only fashion trend that is making an appearance this fall. In fact, a lot of trends have been around for a while, and continue to reappear year after year. “It seems like there’s a lot of trends toward the animal prints,” Glasco said. “I think animal prints are still in, but especially the snakeskin.” Styles such as menswear and jeggings continue to make an appearance this fall after a large success last season as well. So what are the young adults of Lincoln looking for when it comes to fall fashion? They’re looking for something old like 1940s glam, hippie trends from the ‘60s, bellbottoms courtesy of the ‘70s. For the first time, fashionistas are looking to the past for trends. “I’m really excited for the new denim and the ‘70s bohemian, stuff like that,” Rokke said. “I get so excited about all of it.”

STYLE: FROM 1 going on underneath.
laye rs
UNEXPECTED COMBOS
This is the totally unforced segue from discussing layering to discussing mixing color and pattern. See how that works? Lately, there’s been a real resurgence of color in street style. Red and purple, blue and green, any color and pretty much any other color have been spotted together. Surprisingly, monochromatic looks have also taken hold. Tops and bottoms of the same hue are surprisingly eye-catching, particularly in ultrabright colors. If that’s not your thing, try mixing patterns you wouldn’t expect to work together. Plaid, floral, stripes, whatever. The key is finding patterns that contrast with each other in a way that you like. Try mixing different patterned shirts and ties, or patterned sweaters and dresses, or patterned socks and shoes. Again, rules aren’t the point.
THE FINISH
If this has been too much style talk for you, you’re not alone. It’s almost over. Just breathe. Let’s consider accessories. For guys, jewelry can seem like a sartorial minefield, one misstep and you’re ruined for life. But seriously, don’t worry about it so much. Try a couple woven or knotted bracelets. Know what’s even better? Make them yourself. I’m also a serious fan of the pocket square. A simple white one is enough for me, but the possibilities are endless. You can even make your own with whatever fabric you choose (visit http://eightinhand.tumblr.com/post/8071560142/how-tohand-sew-a-pocket-square-with-rolled-edges for a great tutorial on making pocket squares). A square fold or a casual tuck in your breast pocket is a classic finish on a casual jacket or suit. Style really doesn’t have to cost a thing. It just takes a re-examination of what’s already in your closet/piles on your floor. Wear things in different ways, in different combinations. If you’re a DIY type, make things yourself on the cheap. Just give something new a try; the results are more than worth it. BLAIRENGLUND@DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

FAILIENS
story and art by Bob Al-Greene
T
here’s an undefinable quality to the draw of a film called “Cowboys & Aliens.” It inhabits a neo-camp niche that in years past has been filled by masterpieces like “Snakes on a Plane.” The audacious cheese-factor of these titles implies a self-awareness that the makers of “Snakes” picked up on - they even added a certain vulgar and memorable line to the film simply because the Internet buzz had led fans to expect it. So what could film fans have expected out of Jon Favreau’s sci-fi/Western mashup? And when the trailer already promises James Bond and Han Solo fighting sinsiter extraterrestrials, what else could they deliver? Unfortunately, just about anything the audience could have imagined ahead of time would be superior to the story devised by Favreau and Co. The setup is golden: Daniel Craig wakes up wounded, shoeless and amnesiac in the Arizona desert, with a mysterious metal bracelet on his forearm. Soon he’s riding into a struggling mining town in search of medical help, only to find out the memories he’s missing are those of a life of crime. He doesn’t feel like a bad guy, but everyone around him is pretty convinced, especially cattle baron Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), who Lonergan robbed right before disappearing. One might not expect a cinematic endeavor named “Cowboys & Aliens” to be overburdened with plot. But leave it to modern Hollywood to make something so simple this boring. Instead of a spattering of lighthearted, fun dialogue connecting indulgent action sequences, the audience is given one overwrought, unnececessary subplot after another that space out both the alien encounters and the two stars. Admittedly, Craig and Ford shine through the rusty grime of the film around them. Ford is growly and perfect, Craig cold and taciturn. They both fit their roles well, but multiple distractions keep them from sharing the screen for more than a few minutes at a time. The two stars’ chemistry, which you could bottle up and sell on the streets like crack, is given no chance to develop. Instead, meaningless background characters fill the nearly 2-hour runtime, some cliched and predictable (like the underutilized Sam Rockwell), some confusing, others downright detestable. Olivia Wilde plays an irritatingly enigmatic townsperson whose primary function seems to be staring at Lonergan from across a room; perhaps she has some answers to the mysterious occurrences plaguing this portion of the Old West, or perhaps she’s simply pondering whose eyes are more dazzling - hers or his. Either way, the small-town melodrama has just about played itself out by the time the aliens finally arrive in force, soaring out of the night

Final film in Indigo’s series short but satisfying CAMERON MOUNT DAILY NEBRASKAN
A good documentary on healthy eating has a lot of obstacles to overcome. A condescending movie, for example, will instantly turn viewers off. It also has to be engaging, which frankly isn’t easy when talking about vegetables. Most importantly, it has to be convincing, a tough task in an entire culture based on fast, cheap food. “Ingredients,” Indigo Bridge Book’s third and final movie in its “Tread Lightly” film series, effectively balances these challenges. It offers a thorough and smartly made look into how we could be eating. The film argues that buying locally isn’t merely a
drop-in-the-bucket movement by a tiny subset. It’s the way we’ve eaten for almost all of human history and the way our bodies are conditioned to live. The year 2000 was the first year in history that the amount of farmland decreased, and with no sign of reversing, a return to sustainable farming may be the only way to support our ever-expanding population. Of course, positivity is much more convincing than negativity, and the film smartly focuses much more on why this way of eating is an attractive choice in the short term. Most simply, it tastes better. We’ve grown accustomed to having all kinds of food readily and
always available, which forces us to ignore when ingredients are best picked. The film highlighted restaurants that have started working directly with farmers. The restaurants can then update their menus and specials on a daily basis to reflect what was at peak picking point that very morning. The result is succulence as well as variety, and customers often seemed amazed at the quality of what they were eating. Most interesting is how this can be taken out of restaurants and into daily eating habits. Year-round farmers markets end the tedium of eating simply for nourishment, and re-establish a lost community connection. Having direct communication with farmers at these
markets ensures quality feedback, and a relationship that goes beyond environmental concerns. One farmer talked about how he can locate the exact spot where he picked mushrooms in a forest even years later. It’s a vital memory tool, subconsciously triggered, that our ancestors relied on to keep their minds properly active. It’s a process we’ve simply forgotten about, and it’s strange to think how our lives would differ if we still had that. The film also includes an amazing amount of interviews from consumers, farmers, chefs and experts of all kinds. The quality of all the footage throughout its 70-minute running time must have necessitated an inordinate
amount of investigation. Everything from the landscapes to berries to sheep is beautifully shot as well. The vibrancy alone puts “Ingredients” on the level of more famous movies like “Food, Inc.” My only gripe would be that the movie is quite short, and could have benefited from research and statistics along with the interviews. For a humane and easily digestible introduction, however, it did its job. Like the other two screenings, local experts were there to offer their input and delectable organic samples, and to connect the film to what is going on in the Lincoln area. This week’s featured speaker was Ingrid Kirst, who has served as director of Community Crops

Punk rock girls Memoir mix of triumph, tragedy deserve more credit RACHEL STAATS DAILY NEBRASKAN
Unable to speak her real name for 18 years, Jaycee Lee Dugard went by the name Allissa after being kidnapped at the age of 11. Finally, she is able to tell her story in her own words in her new book, “A Stolen Life.” When Jaycee Lee Dugard was found after being held captive for 18 years, the entire nation rejoiced along with her family. Although many people offered assistance to Dugard and her family after her return, most people cannot fathom the horrors young Jaycee had to endure at the hands of her captors Phillip and Nancy Garrido in “the backyard.” What she faced during her years of captivity is truly appalling, but this book is a work of extreme bravery and hope. I can’t imagine going through anything as traumatic as what Dugard endured. Having to relive those memories through the writing of a book is one of the bravest acts I can think of. In her place I doubt I would have the
courage to do the same. Not only does it explain the events of her life from the time of her abduction to when she was found, it also includes details of her life from before she was kidnapped. This was very beneficial to the reader because it helps us get a picture of how being held captive for 18 years changed her from an innocent young girl to the strong woman she is today. The book is written in the present tense, as if the events detailed are happening all over again. Dugard’s prose is affecting, because she really brings the situations to life for the reader so that they can feel the emotions she was feeling at the time. Her mastery of the English language is amazing to me, given that her formal education ended in fifth grade. Dugard spent a lot of her time in “the backyard” of the Garridos writing down what she was going through and how she felt about it. In “A Stolen Life” she explains how this helped her to deal with her circumstances, and in her book she includes a number of diary entries from her time in captivity.
A STOLEN LIFE Jaycee Lee Dugard Simon & Schuster $24.99
Grade
A
This book is both horrible and wonderful; horrible because of the atrocities committed against her by the Garridos and wonderful because of her bravery and determination to survive. “A Stolen Life” is a story of determination and perseverance that will provide hope to families of kidnapped children, but it is not for the faint of heart. What Dugard withstood when she was enslaved by the Garridos is revolting, so I would advise caution, as many aspects of her narrative are very disturbing.

COWBOYS: FROM 6 sky in flashy aircraft and lassoing civilians like so many defenseless calfs. Just as quickly as they arrive, they disappear, and the townies band together to track a “demon” that escaped on foot. The posse members want their friends and family back, while Lonergan just wants answers. The titular aliens are scarce for much of the film. While it could be argued this preserves the suspense, a la “Signs” or “War of the Worlds,” this concept comes with an addendum: Whenever those mysterious E.T.s do make it onto screen, there’s a good chance they will look laughable. Laughable would be alright if the filmmakers were laughing along with the audience, but everyone involved is
so deathly serious that there is little joy to be had. An early action sequence, wherein Lonergan discovers the true nature of his sci-fi schackle, is one of the brief high points of action and intrigue. Much of the rest of the film could be called “Townsfolk & Outlaws” or “Cowboys & Indians.” Native Americans do appear and play a significant role in the climax, but only superficially - they are more bodies to get roasted by laser guns. Any development of themes of culture clash, colonization or technological disparity in times of war is left by the wayside as the plots laboriously tread toward a conclusion like a tired old horse. What hurts most about “Cowboys & Aliens” is the

lost potential. What could have been a celebration of western film conventions, a tongue-in-cheek thrill ride or a legitimately fun film is instead slow, tedious, underdeveloped and overwritten. Just as the aliens were scarier before they were on screen, this movie was better overall before viewing, doomed by the implied outlandishness of its title and the mediocrity of its execution.

NEIL ORIANS
This one’s for you, punk rock girls. You kick and bounce in the pit with the boys, your mohawks are much more impressive than ours, and you could probably tell me why Henry Rollins was better in Black Flag than Dez Candena (even though I had to resort to Google just to find out who else sang in Black Flag other than Henry Rollins). She’s different from the punk’s girlfriend he drags to the show and continues to hover around the whole time. This girl comes by herself or with other kids and is completely independent. She doesn’t need “protection,” she knows what she got herself into and she can more than handle herself. When a boy knocks into her, there isn’t a jealous boyfriend around the corner throwing fists. She laughs and bumps back. Punk rock girls are both my favorite and least favorite part of the scene. Girls in the scene represent everything awesome it is to be punk. It’s about having a good time, regardless of gender and gender expression. It’s about being genuine to whatever you see yourself as and being in a safe environment to express that. The punk rock girl has the guts to
express the notion that gender is a social construct. However, this notion doesn’t cross the aisle and allow boys to express gender their own ways, but that’s a whole different topic. The punk rock girl is an enigma of sorts. Behind the tattered clothes, tattoos and bright green hair is a girl just like any other. She worries about being pretty enough, she worries about her weight, she worries about being liked. Just like any other girl, she is pressured into buying into an idea of idyllic beauty that is as unrealistic as it is unhealthy. But the punk rock girl does as much as she can to reject it. The punk scene tends to see itself as an equal opportunity scene. However, that’s not the case; sexism still exists. Just because we’re punks doesn’t mean we inherently know more and act better. Being in a band with two girls means constantly being asked if the girls are with the band. Of course they are, they’re our lead singers. They’re in the band, we shouldn’t have to explain that every night. When a promoter or a club owner sees a band with girls, the assumption is as instantaneous as it is sexist: The girl must be a groupie. As if the only thing bands can see in a girl is sexual gratification. Or she’s just working the merch booth. Because apparently girls are only good for sex and selling crap. This “is she in the band or with the band?” attitude is fairly active in all genres of music, but it’s the punk scene that has the worse reputation for it.
MUSINGSÊFROM THEÊMOSHÊPIT
While punk puts on a mask of equality and acceptance, the aggressive nature of the music creates an over-masculine scene. Why do girls listen to punk? Punk is angry, girls shouldn’t be angry. Girls shouldn’t be in bands, they can’t handle tour life. Can girls even play instruments? You’d be surprised how often those statements and questions are posed in the scene. Punk claim actsLIFE like The Acan STOLEN Runaways clean the sexist slate, Jaycee Lee Dugard but tokenism does little to actuSimon Schuster ally solve&any problems. So yeah, I $24.99 love having girls in the scene. Just like any other aspect of life, I hate the way they end up getting treated while being Gradetold they’re equals. Guys in the scene have two options. Either stop pretending like you’re pseudo-feminists or start living up to the equal rights message we cling so desperately to. Here’s to you, punk rock girl. Thank you for dealing with the ridiculousness that is punk masculinity. You guys truly earned that Dead Milkmen song about you.

Margaret Milligan was also present on behalf of Community Farms, and offered ways for consumers to get started on the path to better choices. “Come out to a place like community crops or get involved with a local farm, where they can meet farmers and establish a relationship,” she said. “Local farmers are more than willing to help people, and they do every day. You just have to seek them out.” “Ingredients” is an elegant and particularly convincing film to end the “Tread Lightly” series. Through sincere interviews, it proves that there’s more than statistics behind sustainability movements. There are deeper reasons to make these changes, ingrained in how we’ve evolved to relate and interact with each other.
