News Editor Tallahassee’s public transportation system, StarMetro, implemented a major change years in the making. Originally named NOVA2010, the new route structure went live on Monday, nearly a year after projected. Previously, StarMetro had numbered routes that ran through the city in a “hub-andspoke” formation. Each route left C.K. Steele Plaza—on the corner of Adams and Tennessee Streets—on the hour or half past the hour. The new system aims to reduce route redundancy. The “decentralized” system is much more like a grid that resembles Manhattan’s bus system. StarMetro rerouted over 50 numbered routes into 12 lettered routes. Changing from numbered routes to lettered routes is merely an aesthetic change, but it’s a change StarMetro hopes will keep the new structure in riders’ minds.

Gaines Street construction divides Some applaud the city’s efforts, some fear poor outcome KATHERINE CONCEPCION Staff Writer The project promoting commercial revitalization in the Gaines Street corridor has sparked staunch debate. Defenders of the revitalization plan hope the improved appearance of the area

will bring a new economic and social vibrance. Opponents, however, point to the business owners and patrons who are being negatively impacted by sluggish sales and business closures during construction. One location that recently felt the pain of construction is Sick

Boy Vintage, which announced it would be going out of business. Devon Pyles, owner of Sick Boy Vintage, sent a Facebook message to the store’s fans. “After five fantastic years, Sick Boy Vintage is closing,” said Pyles. “The ongoing construction on Gaines Street

two-lane street with onstreet parking. The onstreet parking would be very similar to Monroe Street. A bike lane will be incorporated a block south on FAMU Way. The goal, according to talgov. com, is to create an 18hour, pedestrian friendly downtown area. Mary Frederick, a Tallahassee resident who used to be a member on the Gaines Street revitalization committee, said Gaines Street holds such potential; it’s a shame it’s taken this long to recreate the corridor. “I’ve lived in Tally for 30 years and I always looked at Gaines saying ‘Oh my God this is awful; this is an awful representation of Tallahassee, FSU and FAMU,’ ” said Frederick. “I always thought what a cool place Gaines Street can become—it just seems like it’s a no brainer. We really wanted to make it as a destination, full of locally owned shops and bars and places and a great place for students to get together.” Frederick said the committee—comprised of land owners, business owners, land planners and community activists—fought tooth and nail to get the city to listen to their concerns and implement their plans. Another long-time Tallahassee resident has reservations about the project. Jesse Newman, a native Tallahassee musician, said traffic was a major issue among Gaines Street patrons. “I’ve been working and playing on Gaines Street for about 25 years; I saw my first concert in the building that is now The Warehouse when I was 14,” said Newman. “The road has been torn to shreds for months now while very little progress has been seen and very few people have been seen even working on it.” According to Newman, business owners also have mixed feelings about the improvement project. Some look forward to the land development, but some fear the improvement and possible gentrification could drive their business out of Tallahassee. “I’ve worked plenty of construction crews in my time and I can’t figure out why Gaines Street isn’t a beehive of activity both night and day,” said Newman. Newman also said he rarely sees people working on Gaines Street. “I can name 10 guys that need a job and have experience with this type of project,” said Newman. “We’re tired of the mess. We’re tired of being gladhanded by the city, and we’re tired of seeing a deserted, torn-up stretch of road.” For details on the Gaines Street construction plan, visit talgov. com/gaines.

Book competition seeks applicants Competition for Florida writers needs books to judge for 2011 COURTNEY ROLLE Staff Writer The Florida Book Awards committee is looking for applicants for the sixth annual competition. The aptly named Florida Book Awards is a state book awards program that praises Florida writers. It is the most comprehensive award program for books in the United States. The program is designed to recognize and celebrate the state’s best

writers in eight different categories. The categories are fiction, young adult literature, children’s literature, Florida nonfiction, poetry, popular fiction, visual arts and Spanish-language book. Entries in each category can be submitted by any Florida resident, so long as the writing piece has been professionally published in 2011 and have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Entries to the Florida Nonfic-

tion category are the only written pieces that do not have to have been written by a Florida resident. Gloria Colvin, chairwoman of the Florida Book Awards executive board committee and FSU employee, said that the FSU libraries contribute to the program by allowing shelf space for the books. “There’s a rich literary tradition in Florida, and the awards program focuses attention on some of the outstanding con-

temporary books and authors in the state,” said Colvin. “It’s an opportunity for the libraries to promote reading and to be a leader in recognizing and honoring Florida authors.” Each entry is judged by a three-person panel. These three panelists will choose up to three finalists in each category, and will award one gold, one silver and one bronze medal. “Anyone may submit a book to the Florida Book

Awards competition,” said Colvin. “All of the award winners are recognized at an event at the Florida Library Association conference. Gold medal winners are also honored at the Department of State’s Cultural Heritage Awards and at a luncheon held at the Governor’s Mansion and hosted by the First Lady.” For more information on the Florida Book Awards Program, visit their website at floridabookawards.lib.fsu.edu.

BUS from 1 lead to a grant that would score the city light rail or streetcars along major corridors like Tennessee Street or Capital Circle. Major route corridors were created along Capital Circle Northeast and Southeast, Monroe Street, Thomasville Road and Tennessee Street. Other corridors mix mul-

tiple parts of town; the Dogwood or “D” route encompasses Thomasville Road down to Innovation Park. One benefit FSU could reap is a GPS bus tracking system. On a smartphone or a computer, riders will be able to see the exact location of a bus. This will allow the rider

to know precisely when the bus will arrive at their stop to pick them up. “I believe part of our working with FSU is that we would have their buses would come first as far as GPS,” said Teter. The GPS technology is not currently in place with StarMetro. This advancement is still in the

works, but Teter said that once the technology is installed, riders will be able to see where the buses are in the city in real time. Teter explained why July 11 was chosen as the start date for new routes. “The reason we decided July was because we wanted to have a good month to work out any

kinks before students come back in August,” said Teter. “Students are our biggest demographic of riders. Students are very important to StarMetro.” Including the Seminole Express and the FAMU Venom routes, students in Tally form 60 percent of StarMetro ridership.

This week StarMetro is allowing everyone in the city to ride the buses free of charge. They hope that the creation of these corridors will increase ridership and decrease confusing routes. For an in-depth map of the new StarMetro routes, check talgov. com/StarMetro.

FSU Foundation decides on executive VP Administrator from University of Colorado selected to act as lead manager TURNER COWLES New Editor The Florida State University Foundation set out to find a leader to fill the newly formed position of executive vice president. The man they found for the job is Andy Jhanji, administrator and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorado

Denver. Jhanji is the vice chancellor for advancement and chief of staff in DenAndy ver. Jhanji The position of Foundation vice president was created because the University Vice

President for Advancement Tom Jennings had difficulty devoting enough time to the Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I was spending 70 or 80 hours a week at work, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t time in the day, every day to manage the daily operations [for the foundation],â&#x20AC;? said Jennings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to have a physical presence

in the foundation offices as I thought was needed.â&#x20AC;? By November of last year, Jennings was convinced the position of vice president for the foundation was necessary to operate smoothly. In searching for someone to fill that role, an outside search firm Witt/Kieffer was brought in to help. Witt/Kieffer has exten-

sive experience in higher administration official searches, having brought Jennings to FSU as well as incoming provost Garnett Stokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for someone with extensive fundraising and higher education management experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;someone with a broad understanding of how universities

work,â&#x20AC;? said Jennings. The FSU Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;enhance the academic vision and priorities of the Florida State University through its organized fundraising activities and funds management,â&#x20AC;? according to their website. The Foundation manages an endowment of over $400 million.

FSU professor discovers seven new species of mice Biologist announces spectacular find of previously unknown species in Philippines RENEE JACQUES Staff Writer The mountainous Philippine island, Luzon, holds a special luster for FSU Associate Professor Scott Steppan. It is there that Steppan and his colleagues discovered seven new species of mice. While Steppan did not travel to the Philippines himself, samples of tissue were sent to him to study. Steppan said the DNA results were interesting because they showed that all of the species of mice belonged to the ancient forest-mouse genus Apomys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Apomys genus is the product of millions of years of evolution in the Philippine archipelago,â&#x20AC;? Steppan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also shows how very fast the process of evolution has been operating there, in terms of creating new species.â&#x20AC;? Steppan and his team of researchers also found

that the seven new species are unique because they all inhabit a very small Scott section of Steppan Luzon and are all very close to each other. Usually, different species of mice are vastly spread through a region; there has never been a discovery of this many species so close together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where we found these species is the same size as the panhandle of Florida,â&#x20AC;? Steppan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, a mouse species covers 7,000 to 100,000 miles. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual and tells us thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of more diversity in this area that we have never discovered.â&#x20AC;? The Philippine islands have always been a hotbed of biological diversity and serve as the perfect place to discover new species. Since many natural historians and biologists have been researching

NEWSBRIEFS LOCAL Henderson is The Florida Bar Foundation president-elect Tallahassee resident Maria E. Henderson, an insurance consultant at the law firm of Akerman Senterfitt, is serving as president-elect of The Florida Bar Foundation, a statewide charitable organization that works to expand access to justice on behalf of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal profession. Henderson, a Florida Bar Foundation fellow and member of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy for Justice, took office July 1. She began serving on the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board in 2004 as one of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public members and is the first public member to hold an office with the Foundation. She previously served on the Board of Trustees of The Tampa Museum of Art and the 2nd Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee of The Florida Bar. New website seeks to empower teachers Sometimes, if you want something to get done, you have to do it yourself. Weary of legislation changes and policies that seemed to both ignore teacher input and what was needed in the classroom, Mike Rychlik, an educator in Leon County for 25 years, decided it was time teachers took things into their own hands. With the launch of his new website, empow-

ereducators.org, Rychlik hopes to connect with teachers across the state. Empowereducators.org will serve as a launching pad for discussions, updates and information for the education community. The site encourages teachers in districts across the state to hold town meetings, share experiences and stay on top of pending legislation and election cycles. Rychlik hopes that the website will turn up the volume on issues that are important to teachers across the state, and, eventually, across the nation. He wants teachers to be included in the dialogue of education reform.

Gerald Ford after he left office more than three decades ago. She died of natural causes at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage on Friday at age 93, family attorney and spokesman Greg Willard said. She will be memorialized Tuesday in Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coachella Valley, which includes Rancho Mirage, before her casket travels by motorcade and military transport for a private burial Thursday alongside her husband in Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Gerald R. Ford Museum. In Rancho Mirage, residents were saddened by her death even as they praised her devotion to removing the stigma from addiction. The Betty Ford Center treated more than 90,000 people since its beginnings in 1982 and although it was most famous for a string of celebrity patients, it kept its rates relatively affordable and provided a model for effective addiction treatment. She revealed her own longtime addiction to painkillers and alcohol 15 months after leaving the White House, and regularly welcomed new groups of patients to rehab with a speech that started, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, my nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Betty Ford, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an alcoholic and drug addict.â&#x20AC;?

examining a 208-foot-tall amusement park roller coaster after a U.S. Army veteran, who lost his legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq a few years ago, was thrown from it to his death. Sgt. James Thomas Hackemer was ejected from the Ride of Steel coaster at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, about 30 miles east of Buffalo, where he had been on a family outing. The wounded veteran was missing all of his left leg and most of his right leg and had only recently returned for good to his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Gowanda to rebuild his life following years in and out of rehabilitation at hospitals throughout the northeast United States. Safety authorities and an amusement park spokeswoman declined to say at what point in the Friday evening roller coaster ride Hackemerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident occurred. It was unclear whether attendants at the park had given any thought to barring him from the ride because of his missing limbs. Hackemerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatives said he likely wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing prosthetic legs when he was thrown from the ride.

there, and every time my colleagues go to a new mountain range or a new mountain, they find a new species.â&#x20AC;? Steppan said he feels being a part of discovering a new species provides something he can put his name on that is permanent and certain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually someone discovering a new species, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like being an explorer, and as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done decent work, that finding lasts forever,â&#x20AC;? said Steppan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know you have a new species and that new species is recognized for as long as science is around. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something very tangible and real about that.â&#x20AC;? Steppan also said that he hopes this study and its results will prompt people to support and help fund further research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The primary message is that there is a lot of undiscovered diversity still out there and hopefully it will encourage support for ad-

ditional research,â&#x20AC;? Steppan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of these species are going extinct at the same time that we are discovering them.â&#x20AC;? Even though the Philippines are the perfect place to find new species, massive deforestation efforts are destroying trees and killing long-existing and new species. Steppan said it is important to try to halt the deforestation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a place that has one of the most diverse forests in the world and they are being cut down at a very high rate,â&#x20AC;? Steppan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a species is extinct, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone forever.â&#x20AC;? Steppan and his colleagues have submitted their findings of the newly discovered species to the Chicago Field Museum of Natural Historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peerreviewed journal, Fieldiana. They will soon have to alter their results as Steppan said they have recently discovered three more mice species, bringing the total now to ten.

A Department of Labor spokesman confirmed that the agency was investigating but said it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be releasing additional information yet on the circumstances of the accident. People without both legs are barred from at least two other coasters at the park, the Motocoaster and the Predator. Rules posted on the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for the Ride of Steel say that guests with â&#x20AC;&#x153;certain body proportionsâ&#x20AC;? may not be able to ride it. The website also suggests that guests try using a test seat at the coasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station house. The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website describes the Ride of Steel as one of the tallest coasters east of the Mississippi River and says it reaches speeds in excess of 70 mph.

officials were able to confirm that at least one more was killed, said Farah provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy police chief, Mohammad Ghaws Malyar. All of the dead had been beheaded, he said. The group of Afghan de-miners were ambushed July 6 while driving to a work site in the province. Two have been released with the help of local tribal elders, Malyar said. Meanwhile, a roadside bomb attack in southern Helmand province killed a Danish soldier who was on patrol, while two other NATO service members were killed in insurgent attacks in the south and east, according to NATO and the Danish government. The Danish army aid the soldier was airlifted to a field hospital but his life couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be saved. Denmark is to start withdrawing its combat units this year and gradually shift its role into training Afghan forces. NATO did not provide details or the nationalities of the other two dead service members. The coalition typically waits for national authorities to make such announcements. The latest deaths bring to 15 the number of international service members killed so far this month. So far this year, 286 international troopers have been killed in Afghanistan.

Headliners and festival organizers 311 will play two sets each night of the festival, and for the first time, perform their 1997 album ‘Transistor’ in full.

ERIC JAFFE Staff Writer Come early August, the summer fun usually starts to die down here in Tallahassee. Final exams are just around the corner; students find themselves spending night and day in Club Stroz, cramming for their big test; the weather becomes unbearably hot. At least, that’s how sum-

mer usually ends. This year, though, students with a bit more free time on their hands have a new option: the 311 Pow Wow Festival at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak. Just an hour outside of campus, the event features performances from student favorites 311, Sublime with Rome, The Deftones, MURS, G. Love,

SOJA, Mix Master Mike, Reel Big Fish, The Supervillains, The Dirty Heads, Ozomatli and many more. Like a reggae-based version of the ever-popular Ultra Music Festival in Miami, the performances last for three straight days with two stages performing each night. 311, the headliner and festival organizer, will be performing on both Friday

and Saturday, with two sets each night, including their first-ever performance of their hit 1997 album Transistor in its entirety. Held in a 500-acre park and campground, the festival also offers a wide variety of activities for those looking to go beyond the music. The grounds include areas for camping, hiking, canoeing, bird

watching, jogging, putt putt golf and pro-quality disc golf, a honey bee observation exhibit, rental cabins, electric and water sites, showers and bath houses, a full service restaurant, golf cart rentals, an Arts and Crafts Village, Country Store and more.

‘Horrible Bosses’ features an all-star cast and brings major laughs.

You won’t want to kill these ‘Horrible Bosses’ If every season has to have a ‘Hangover’ then here it is ERIC JAFFE Staff Writer It seems like every decent comedy to come out over the past year or so has been praised as “the funniest comedy since The Hangover” or “this season’s Hangover.” On this, I have two things to say. First, The Hangover was a good film, I can’t deny that, but let’s not pretend that it’s some modern day masterpiece that sets the bar for all comedies that come after it. Second, if any film is going to be “this year’s Hangover” it’s going to

be Horrible Bosses, not f***ing Due Date. Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) is your average run-of-the-mill kiss ass. “Let me tell you a story,” he says during the film’s opening, “My mother came to the United States with 20 dollars to your name and she never took s*** from anybody. She died with 2,000 dollars to her name. That f***ing sucks.” Hendricks works in a cubicle; he’s consistently the first person to get to the office and almost always the last one to leave. His boss,

Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), has been promising him a promotion to Vice President of Sales for years, and Hendricks believes that his time has finally come. Harken makes the announcement: “Our new Vice President of Sales will be...,” he smiles, “Me.” Just like that, the dream is gone. Nick’s best friends are having an equally tough time. The recently engaged Dale (Charlie Day) is a loving and faithful boyfriend, but that SEE BOSSES 6

BOSSES from 5 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop his boss, the ridiculously hot Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston), from sexually harassing him every day at work and threatening to tell his fiancĂŠe that they slept together if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep with her. Okay, so maybe Dale doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it too bad, at least not compared to Kurt (Jason Sudeikis). Under the supervision of a coke

addicted foul-mouthed nut job obsessed with firing all of his fat and handicapped employees (Colin Farrell), the trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third member is dealing with nothing less than insanity. Given the circumstances, the idea these three men would decide to kill their bosses isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as farfetched as it sounds. Taking advice from their â&#x20AC;&#x153;murder consultantâ&#x20AC;? (Ja-

mie Foxx), the group plots to rid the world of their horrible bosses once and for all. Almost constantly hilarious and memorable, the film works on multiple levels. The plot is well-paced and structured, and director Seth Gordon perfects the art of situational humor. The acting across the board is also top-notch. In particular, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Always

Sunny in Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlie Day owns every scene heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in as Dale. If Horrible Bosses is the new Hangover, Day is the new Galifinakis. His character is the right mix of wise-cracking short guy and complete moron. While Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-pitched voice takes some getting used to for some people, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedic talents.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only obvious flaw is an excess of ambition. When you mix three protagonists with three antagonists and an inherently subplot-filled storyline, the result is a movie filled with plot holes and underdeveloped characters (Avengers foreshadowing?). Still, a steady stream of laughs is more than enough to make up for

these minor setbacks and warrants my recommendation. Horrible Bosses is the funniest movie of the summer. If every season has to have a Hangover, this might be it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already looking forward to next summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horrible Bosses 2: The Exact Same Movie with Asian People; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a smash.

Latin Xpress Cafe feeds like family Authentic Cuban fare impresses on all accounts

ZACHARY GOLDSTEIN Photographer/Columnist Latin Xpress Cafe is one of the happiest places in Tallahassee. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those places where you eat happy, and leave happy (and full). So if you like authentic Cuban food, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in luck. Resting in the shadow of another, far betterknown Cuban restaurant on Pensacola Street, walking into Latin Xpress is like walking into a family kitchen. There are tables and chairs just like every restaurant, a counter to order food from, a menu and decorations on the wallsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it feels like a restaurant. But the smell of food lingering in the air and the beaming smile you get from anyone who greets you at the counter gives you a familiar feeling that you are at home and are about to be met with a great meal. This is exactly how I felt when I met owner Mailen Sanchez there a few weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do just like we say we do: we feed you like family,â&#x20AC;? Sanchez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tallahassee has a lot of college students [who are Latin American], and I want to give them the feeling of being at home and eating well. I want every person who walks through my door to feel like family.â&#x20AC;?

I sure did, and within minutes I was enjoying a Cuban-style mango milkshake (i.e., with fresh fruit and no ice cream). I digress to air a grievance of mine about frozen sweet treats: One of the things that annoys me about a lot of milkshakes is they come to you so thick, it takes you 15 minutes to be able to drink it through a straw. (Yes, I know that there are people who are groaning who hear me say this. Sorry.) This milkshake is not like that. It is thick without being hard to drink, and the fresh fruit/milk combination is a perfect way to escape the brutal Tallahassee summer heat. Every day at Latin Xpress, around 5 or 6 in the morning, a Cuban woman named Nina comes in to start making food for the day. One of the things she makes are pastriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both sweet with guava and cream cheese and savory empanadas with fillings like beef and ham and cheese; it was these that I tried first. I was in heaven. These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your typical fried pastries that are really tasty and delicious; this is your fried pastry that takes the top of your head off. They were crunchy but also light, and each of the fillings was like a journey though whatever taste combination was being offered. The guava cream cheese pastry was rich and sweet, and the beef was savory with visible chunks of green olives in

it. If you like your finger foods and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to break the bank, these are a must-have in Tallahassee. I then went on to try a plated dish; since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had my share of beef in the pastries, I opted for the grilled chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which, in my case, came with yellow rice and black beans, tostones, caramelized onions, a wedge of lime, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;mojo sauce,â&#x20AC;? a mixture of oil and lightly roasted garlic. This is the stuff that dreams of Cuban foodlovers are made on. The chicken was tender and full of rich, citrusy flavor; the rice was savory but still offered a retreat from the richness of the chicken; the onions and

the mojo on top of the tostones was like a little bitesized taste of what Cuban (and most other multicultural) food is all about: taking simple ingredients that are readily available and turning them into something greater than the sum of one another. I then summoned every cubic inch of free space in my stomach (there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much) to try the homemade flan. What a surpriseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like everything else, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better here than anywhere else in town that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried. It was light and yet rich, and to my delight, it was not as sweet as most other flans Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tried. My guess is that authentic flan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t super sweet, and that the

sweeter types are an adaptation to American tastes. Otherwise, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the lip-coating greasy feeling I get with a lot of other custards, and the carmel sauce was light and it complimented the flan excellently both in texture, flavor, and sweetness. Suffice it to say that I am

overjoyed that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered Latin Xpress. There was, however, one problem that I had there: the food was so good that I forgot to take photos of much of it before I took the first bite. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say that I was very, very happy with what I ate.

Great Value, Great Results.

Pop-Punk’s Not Dead

“New Direction” by Black Lips: Black Lips’ latest, Arabia Mountain, is indeed a “new direction” for the Atlanta punks—a direction that’s undeniably hitor-miss. “New Direction” is, however, one of those hits. “Fever Dreaming” by No Age:

J. MICHAEL OSBORNE Editor-in-Chief Who ever said poppunk died with the reign Blink 182 and Sum 41? No one? Oh, OK, no one.

Here’s eight of the most skank-and-mosh-worthy tracks and bands keeping pop-leaning punk alive and well. Press play at 8tracks. com/fsview/pop-punks-not-dead and do something rebellious you would have done in high school, like smash an old TV with a two-by-four in your Performing Arts Center’s spotlight tower. (All right, maybe that was

just me?) “Recursive Girl” by F**ked Up: It’s only fitting to kick this mixtape off with a band whose name we can’t print. F**ked Up has been keeping up the purist’s pop-punk for years now, and their new David Comes to Life is their best effort to date, adding

Everything In Between, No Age’s third LP, finds the noise-rockers amp-ing up and expanding out, and the result is their most accessible and head-banging album yet. Try and listen to “Fever Dreaming” without convulsing to the screaming guitars—I dare you.

Grips’ debut (free!) mixtape, Exmilitary, has single-handedly changed the definition of what poppunk can mean, and with chaotic samples of the always-killer 1958 song “Rumble” and “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!),” the mindblowing “Spread Eagle Cross the Block” loudly announces their name as new heavy-hitters. “White Rune” by iceage: Danish punks iceage have been building a hype hurricane around their name as of late, and their debut album, New Brigade, makes it know they’re here to stay. “White Rune,” the record’s lead single, is all attitude from beginning to end. “Idiot” by Wavves:

“Spread Eagle Cross the Block” by Death Grips: Mixing hip-hop, hardcore and punk, Death

Wavves’ King of the Beach may wind up being known as a real milestone for garage-punk music. Consider the inclusion

of my favorite track off it, “Idiot,” as pre-hype for the band’s upcoming EP, planned for release this summer, which frontman Nathan Williams called on his Twitter “the best songs I’ve ever recorded. Easily.” “Holing Out” by Yuck: If you’ve heard Yuck namedropped before, you’ve probably also heard how strictly ’90s they are. Yuck’s self-titled debut, then, wafts between Pavement-sounding ballads and Nirvana-sounding punk, but “Holing Out” is all pop-punk to its roots. “Kudos” by Surf City: Surf City is a psychedelic hardcore band out of New Zealand (!), and “Kudos” is the awesome, poppy, hazy title track from their awesome, poppy, hazy sophomore album. To look them up is to love them.

Social media overload HEATHER MCQUEEN Staff Writer “What’s on your mind?” Ah, Facebook—I thought you’d never ask. But since you did: Heather is wondering why her employer has blocked her favorite social media network on their Internet server, making it impossible for her to post pictures of what she ate for lunch, and forcing her to actually work. Wait, what? A seemingly straightforward solution to this conundrum is the website Hardlywork.in, a website that “ingeniously converts your Facebook News Feed into what resembles an Excel spreadsheet, so you can keep up with social news while appearing productive,” according to an ar-

ticle from The Huffington Post. The site was created by Yale computer science major Bay Gross, 20, in an effort to help out his friends who had summer internships or jobs that did not allow access to Facebook. It is already generating thousands of hits due to its usefulness and accessibility—and because, well, many people just cannot get enough of their beloved Book of Faces. For many IT departments, however, websites such as these are promptly flagged and blocked after increased use or traffic. But these types of websites used to access blocked material and remain otherwise unproductive are nothing new. I recall many instances in both middle and high school, when classmates would have long, unfamiliar website addresses written down on tiny pieces of paper. They were called “proxy servers” and allowed access

to any website that was already blocked. The favored website-of-choice was, of course, MySpace—remember that old thing? And with access to all forms of social media now just a click away, or even better—on one’s cell phone—the willingness to stay on task and maintain focus while at work, doing homework, or simply attempting to be productive in any sense is often compromised by visiting Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Stumbleupon, et cetera. And let’s be honest: the five minutes taken to just “check up on things” almost always turns into at least 30 minutes of judging friends’ new profile pictures, going on “likeing” sprees and struggling with the unreliable Facebook chat. There’s clearly a reason why many of these sites are blocked, especially at workplaces where productivity is essential to the growth and success of a business or company.

Of course, the lines are even more blurred for those who rely on social media to network, market, and popularize their work. The use of social media is becoming a large component of many companies, with names like “Social Media Expert” showing up in job listings more and more. The benefits of social media are unmatched when used appropriately—this does not include playing Farmville, writing stream-of-consciousness status updates or posting drunken, Katy Perryinspired pictures from “Last Friday Night.” But with or without social media, there is always the inclination to try and multi-task, talk on the phone, doodle or do anything other than work. Even access to a computer with no Internet at work can lead to quite a few games of Solitaire. It’s a mixture of procrastination, boredom and an unenthusiastic work ethic that will inev-

itably lead to unproductive behavior. I’m not sure I could even measure the usefulness of news websites compared to social media websites—neither one should really be accessed frequently if you’re on the clock and at work. If more jobs and employers were focused on results from being productive rather than time spent being busy, this would be less of an issue. It is important to be loyal to one’s employer with your use of time and resources. Instead of trying to do 20 things at once by being a multitasker—something our society is obsessed with—note the difference that occurs when devoting all of your energy into one task at a time—you’ll likely see that much more gets accomplished in a shorter amount of time, without the help of Facebook.

Upsidedown and Right-side Up By Jacqueline Landreth Joana Botchway, senior I thought it was very interesting that [the judge] gave her such a minimal sentence for the charges. They did find her guilty— justice was done, but, to me, it was a small amount of justice.

Bret Baker, freshman I think it’s a little ridiculous she got off like that. I think she should have been prosecuted more seriously.

Airport security: How safe is safe enough? Skyler Mccarthy, senior I think that, even if she had been proven guilty, they should not have been given any more time then she had served. In the state of Florida, manslaughter is three to five. She deserved the time served—it’s what most people do anyway.

Hannah Finnegan, freshman I am just trusting the jury. They were secluded; we were affected by the media and they were not—so hopefully they were right. —Photos and survey compiled by Joseph La Belle

CHAD SQUITIERI Staff Writer As I headed toward my gate at Tampa International Airport, I approached the security check. After hearing plenty about the new security procedures occurring throughout the country, I anticipated the security check that lay between me and my plane to be quite an ordeal. As I approached the group of TSA agents in blue uniforms, I read a sign indicating me to take off my shoes and to place my belongings in a plastic tub to be scanned in the X-ray machine. I then walked through a metal detector, collected my belongings, and was

free to go to my plane. I never had anyone pat me down, I never went through a body scanner and I never had anyone attempt to take me into an interrogation room and strip search me for contraband. I simply walked through the metal detector, and put my belongings in an X-ray machine—the same process I have been familiar with since my first flight several years ago. My brother, who was accompanying me on my flight, was randomly selected to go through the body scan machine. This 10-second ordeal consisted of him walking into the machine, lifting his hands, waiting for a beep and walking out. The point I am getting across here is that the new TSA procedures are not exactly as out of line as the news makes them out to be. Now, let me get one thing perfectly

straight—I am never a fan of government getting involved in the lives of its citizens unless absolutely necessary. I believe in a small, nonintrusive government that allows its citizens to make decisions for themselves. I believe that, currently, the size and scope of our government is too large, thus one would assume I would argue the new TSA procedures—which include a body scan machine or thorough pat down—are another example of the government stepping over the line. I do not, however, find the new procedures to cross any lines. I clearly understand the argument against the procedures. As Americans, we are guaranteed the freedoms mentioned in our Constitution. The Fourth Amendment protects us from unreasonable searches. I also understand evaluating the

procedures strictly from an economic or efficiency perspective could lead someone to ask if the costs outweigh the benefits. When does the cost and amount of time invested outweigh the actual effectiveness? To answer the first part of the argument against the new procedures I would argue the set of procedures involved in clearing security at the airport are not unreasonable. It is not as if one is required to strip their clothes or something of that nature. We live in a world where terrorism is perhaps one of the greatest dangers we face as a country, and it is not unreasonable to ensure the safety of airline travel through the use of airport security. To respond to the second part of the argument against the procedures, the time involved does not outweigh the benefit

of safety. From what I have witnessed visiting numerous airports in the last few days, the time involved is very minimal. I will not attempt to reply to the argument previously mentioned in regard to the procedures economical effectiveness, because I simply do not know how expensive such procedures are. I am sure that better and more effective methods can be used, and I support finding out what those methods would be. The final test I would suggest to any opponent of tightened security at the airport is to imagine yourself sitting in a plane seat at the end of the runway. How safe would you like to feel as your plane begins speeding down the asphalt getting ready to take off? FSU junior, ccs09@ fsu.edu.

SPORTSBRIEFS FSU ’Noles set to face Spartans in ACC/Big Ten Challenge Florida State, which advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, will travel to face Michigan State on Nov. 30 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich., in the 13th Annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods. The game between the Seminoles and the Spartans will be played as one of the marquee games of the 12-game event and will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3.com will combine to televise all 12 games of the two-day event, one more than in the previous 12 challenges. The 2011 ACC/Big Ten Challenge involves six teams ranked an early preseason top 25 by ESPN. com senior college basketball writer Andy Katz, including three in the top five: No. 1 North Carolina, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 5 Duke, No. 11 Wisconsin, No. 21 Florida State and No. 23 Michigan. The Seminoles finished the 2011

season ranked 19th nationally in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ poll, finished in third place in the ACC with an 11-5 record and defeated four ranked teams in finishing with a 23-11 record. The Seminoles return three of last season’s five starters and six players with extensive starting experience to its 2012 team which is ranked in the nation’s top 25 in most of the polls already released by the national media including Andy Katz of ESPN and Jeff Goodman, formerly of FoxSports.comFlorida State is the third winningest program in the ACC since the start of the 2005-06 season—in total ACC regular season and ACC Tournament games. The Seminoles have won 58 games against ACC completion during that span. Florida State played in the 2009 ACC Championship game and is one of only two teams in the ACC (Duke) which has finished with double-digit ACC wins and in the top four of the ACC standings in each of the last three seasons.

staff at Duke Duke coach David Cutcliffe has named Ben Loebner and John Russell as graduate assistant coaches on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, respectfully. Loebner, a 2009 Duke graduate, has spent the last two seasons on the Blue Devil staff as a recruiting assistant, while Russell joins the program after lettering four seasons as a defensive lineman at Wake Forest. Kerry Johnson, who lettered as both a defensive back and wide receiver under Cutcliffe at Ole Miss, shifts from his role as an assistant on the strength and conditioning staff to an operations assistant position with the Duke offensive coaches. Leon Wright, an AllACC cornerback during his playing days at Duke, serves as the defensive operations assistant. Marcus Johnson, a former All-SEC offensive lineman at Ole Miss who spent five seasons in the NFL, replaces Johnson as an assistant in the strength and conditioning department. Ethan Johnson, a staff member since 2006, becomes Duke’s assistant director of football relations, replacing the departed Terrell Smith.

Jomar Wright, who spent last year as a graduate assistant coach, moves into the role of recruiting assistant, while former Blue Devil All-American defensive lineman Vince Oghobaase has been added as a staff assistant. “We are very excited with our recent hires and adjustments to the staff,” Cutcliffe stated. “I have either coached or fostered long term relationships with each of these young people and their families. It is great to surround yourself with people you deeply care for and know are winners on and off the field. We approach the 2011 season with great enthusiasm.”

ACC Birthplace marker honors Roy Williams North Carolina coach Roy Williams has reached such heights in college basketball that his birthplace is going out of its way to honor him. The city of Marion, N.C., today erected a marker that lets all who read the sign know that the 60-year-old Williams was born at a nearby hospital there, according to the McDowell News. The Marion City Council authorized the marker in

SEVEN from 14 averaged 20.6 yards on 16 kick returns in 2010. He plays fearless and with the intensity of a Blake Griffin dunk. Jones is a physical specimen on the verge of destruction. Playing behind two seniors and Bradham last season, Jones showed efficiency in his limited playing time

2009, after Williams wrote a letter to then-Mayor Everette Clark. The letter confirmed he was born in Marion and granted his permission for the city to place the marker. The cost was $3,937, and it was all paid for with private donations; no city money was used. The marker has a Carolina blue background and also has a separate plaque listing the major donors. Williams is scheduled to attend the dedication ceremony on Monday that will be held in downtown in front of City Hall. He was born in the former Marion General Hospital, which, according to the city, is now an apartment building. The location of the marker is the closest to a major road from the exact place where Williams drew his first breath. Look for Marion, which is about a three-hour drive from Chapel Hill, to turn North Carolina blue for the occasion and Williams to soak it in. He clearly remembers his roots, as he also donated money to build a new basketball facility at UNC Asheville near where he grew up in humble circumstances. “After paying the electricity bill and rent and

water and food, there was not a lot left over,” Williams told Tar Heel Monthly in 2003. “But as far as I was concerned it was a great place to live, and I appreciated what we did have.”

NCAA Alabama and Virginia Tech set date for 2013 Alabama and Virginia Tech will open the 2013 college football season in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta, GA. It will be the second time the Crimson Tide and Hokies have played in the Georgia Dome. Alabama beat Virginia Tech 34-24 in 2009 season opener. The Crimson Tide also played in the first Chickfil-A Kickoff game, beating Clemson 34-10 in 2008. Boise State and Georgia will match up in this season’s opener at the Georgia Dome on Sept. 3.

there has not yet been a decision on whether or not to install bleachers, because sand volleyball fans are typically used to bringing their own lawn and beach chairs— much like they would if the matches were actually being played on a beach. As of the start of July, it is likely that, if the decision were made to install bleachers, they would be of the temporary nature—perhaps just for the bigger matches—for the inaugural season before a permanent decision is made.

team for practice and by the track and field program for warm-ups before home meets. The cross-country program also uses the area to run loops on occasion as a way of switching up a routine that usually has the student-athletes running on pavement or on local trails. “Right now, our plan is to put five sand courts on the north end of the field,” Waxman, stated pointing to an area that backs up to rear side of the FSU College of Medicine. “We are going to try to maintain all three uses of that facility.” Waxman and Swiger recently met with the university to discuss the plans to dig the hole needed for the sand and drainage as well as electrical power going out to the courts. The next big question remains though: What about seating for fans? According to Waxman,

“We want to make sure that, when we run an event, it is a classy event, and whoever comes here leaves thinking, ‘Wow, they know what they are doing,’ ” Waxman said. Other decisions that need to be made involve coaching offices and locker rooms, as well as the addition of hiring a strength and conditioning coach. Even though questions remain—and there are still key decisions to make—FSU has the unique distinction of being a trendsetter for a program others will look to for guidance, as sand volleyball in the southeast and the rest of the United States continues to gain popularity. “I think there are other programs that may add sand volleyball that will be looking at us to be a leader as we get this sport off the ground,” Swiger said.
