Research team develops app that communicates with your car RENÉE JACQUES Staff Writer Your Android smart phone may soon be able to save your life thanks to an application created by a computer science research group at Florida State University. In February, computer science graduate students Ciaran Hannigan and Justin Danielson represented FSU in the inaugural Berkeley Mobile International Collaborative University Mobile Challenge (BMIC UMC) in Barcelona, Spain. They presented an original Android app they titled PhoneStar. The app connects to an On Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) scan tool via Bluetooth. This allows the smartphone to observe the internal state of a person’s car. The app currently is programmed

to continually monitor the engine, show the current speed of the car and display the RPMs of the engine. When the app is on, it will also monitor the state of the airbags—a clear indication of whether an accident has occurred. If an accident is detected, the app will direct the phone to attempt to contact the driver to determine whether he or she is okay. If the driver does not answer, the app will redirect the phone call to the friend or family member listed in the app’s “preference list� to see if they can contact emergency services if needed. Hannigan said that he hopes PhoneStar will provide drivers with a service that is compatible to OnStar, the popular automated service featured only in GM vehicles.

“The application can be used for any car made in the U.S. after 1996,� Harrington said. “We hope it will serve to be a tool used to turn older cars into smart cars.� Harrington, Danielson and the research group at FSU have been working on mobile application ideas for the past year. PhoneStar is among many other projects the group has been working on; they have also been working on an app for the elderly that will serve a function similar to the popular “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up� life alert. “Our research group is all about developing applications for research purposes, as well as reasons to help people in need,� said Harrington. At the BMIC UMC, Harrington and Danielson competed against 10

other university teams, including teams from international forces like India and China, as well as other American universities like Berkeley, University of Michigan and Stanford. The students pitched the business plan and design for PhoneStar to major CEOs and venture capitalists of prominent mobile industry companies and placed fourth overall in the competition. The organizers of the BMIC UMC have asked Harrington and Danielson to put together a team and return for next year’s competition. Harrington said that he believes the BMIC UMC provided his team something to be extremely proud of. “I believe the experience that we had gave us very valuable insight into the mobile industry and

also gave us a chance to have great resume material,� Harrington said. “It opened up many opportunities for the university and helped create very great contacts in the future.� As for the future of PhoneStar, Harrington said that he hopes to launch the app sometime next year and to make various additions to the app, essentially creating a dashboard where the user can access features, such as automatic unlocking. “This is going to be something, at least at the moment, that we will be doing in our free time,� said Harrington. “We’re thinking about adding more people to our research team and possibly having a group take over where we started and do a lot of testing to make sure the app is solid.�

Sigma Gamma Rho addresses concerns that impact society educationally, civically and economically.� On Saturday, August 13, all Sigma Gamma Rho chapters will distribute their collections to their respective communities. Parker said this project is important to Sigma Gamma Rho because it gives them the opportunity to give to the less

fortunate children of the community. “I love working with kids and making their lives a better place so that they can have all the advantages life has to offer,� said Parker. “Doing the ‘Soles for Little Souls’ project gives me so much joy and pleasure knowing that this is something that will help with the growth of all of these children’s success. The fact that my sisters and I are doing this project shows exactly what our organization is about in our efforts to serve

the community.� The effort is public and Parker encourages everyone to contribute. Shoes are currently being collected for elementary through high school, and all sizes are accepted. All donations are tax deductible and collection will take place every Wednesday for the rest of the summer semester from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Arrangements for pickup can also be made by contacting the organization directly at ed.sgrho1922@yahoo. com.

DISTRIBUTION Distribution Coordinator Karl Etters

In an effort to provide disadvantaged children across the nation with brand new shoes, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. has teamed up with the Sigma Public Education and Research Foundation. The groups hope to collect shoes to donate. The initiative is called “Soles for Little Souls;� chapters of Sigma Gamma Rho across the nation set a goal to collect and distribute at least

100,000 pairs of shoes to less fortunate children. Sigma Gamma Rho is a nonprofit community service organization founded in 1922. The Epsilon Delta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho at Florida State is leading the effort. Sigma Gamma Rho member Seymone Parker said her group wants to improve the lives of those around them. “The sorority’s aim is to enhance the quality of life within the community,� said Parker. “Public service, leader-

Summer heat makes clothes fall off Students strip their outerwear to donate to Goodwill and run in undies TURNER COWLES News Editor The FSU Undie Run went off without a hitch. Over 35 students gathered outside the Leach Center on Thursday to donate the clothes off their backs—literally— and run in only their underwear. Students donated their clothes to a group of students who took the clothes to our local Goodwill store. This was the third Undie Run the group of students—Ben Douglas, Emilio Estevez and Jaime Lee—has put on. “It’s to get a bunch of free and fun-loving students together and really just relax,” said Lee. “I think when you have the undies on, it kind of takes away a lot of pretensions. There’s nothing left; there’s nothing to be pretentious about when everybody is in their underwear.” The spirit of giving and the lack of pretension is the central theme of the event. While many people walked by the group of (nearly) naked people wondering what was going on, those who were in their under-

Celebrating Florida’s Spanish history KARLANNA LEWIS Senior Staff Writer Editor’s note: FSView & Florida Flambeau Senior Staff Writer Karlanna Lewis is studying abroad for the summer in Valencia, Spain. Without much of an outlet for students to share their experiences from overseas, Karlanna reports on the opportunities and experiences students in Valencia can have. Most people are aware of the large Hispanic population in Florida, but most people are not aware of the important anniversary that is just around the corner. 2013 marks the 500th anniversary of Spanish presence in Florida. Many historical events are already being planned to celebrate Ponce de Leon, who named the state in 1503. Just living in Florida is enough to bring anyone into contact with Spanish heritage on a regular basis. Margo Yates, the

program advisor for the FSU Valencia program, said the Latin flavor is one that Floridians taste repeatedly. “There are six clubs in Tallahassee that do a Latin night, and they’re always packed, and that’s a big deal,� said Yates,. “I went to Miami and I asked a woman a question, and she answered in Spanish. They just assume you speak both. You see it in restaurants, in clubs—it’s just everywhere. If you got to Home Depot or Lowes, they have everything in Spanish. If you call the bank, they say if you want Spanish press two. It’s really getting into our lives.� For students of Hispanic heritage, the influence of Spanish and Hispanic culture is even stronger. Christina Wroten, an international business major at Belmont University studying in FSU’s Valencia program, has been very impacted by Spanish culture. Eventually, she plans to live and work in Spain.

An ‘FS-View’ from Spain “Being that my grandmother is from Colombia, it’s influenced me a lot because Spanish is my second language,â€? said Wroten. “It’s an appreciation that I have not only for culture, but for being open-minded to other cultures as well.â€? At FSU, various student organizations exist so students can experience Hispanic culture while socializing and becoming more active in the student body. These include the Oscar Arias Sanchez Hispanic honor society, Lamba Theta Phi fraternity, Lamba Theta Alpha sorority, Sigma Lamba Beta International Fraternity, the AzĂşcar and CorazĂłn dance groups, and Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Venezuelan and Puerto Rican student associations. Many of these are affiliated with the Hispanic Latino Student Union (HLSU).

As an undergraduate, Yates was part of the CorazĂłn troupe of salsa dancers, and with them she was able to travel to a salsa conference in Los Angeles. “I’d always wanted to learn salsa dancing,â€? said Yates. “When I was in high school I had a friend from Peru, and she taught me a little bit. I used to go to lessons at Club Rayn, and I met a guy there who talked me into trying out for the group. If I move anywhere where there’s a decent salsa group, I’d love to get involved in it again.â€? For those looking for the Hispanic cultural events, the Center for Global Engagement regularly offers films, panels and other world culture events. On Fridays, the CGE offers an international lunch, which is often Latin food. The CGE offers a Global Pathways certificate program, designed to help students reflect on their international experiences. The Modern Languages

department also offers an annual lecture series, typically involving at least one Spanish lecture, which is open to the public. Students who enjoy Spanish classes have the option to minor in Spanish or Iberian Studies, or to major in Spanish. Co-majors with other languages are also possible, as is automatic temporary teaching certification in the state of Florida. Margo Yates obtained her bachelor’s degree in Spanish from FSU. “I really enjoyed [the Spanish program at FSU],� said Yates. “I read a lot of literature that I never would have heard of on my own, and I also got to learn about Spain and Latin America from people who’d been there. The summer between my junior and senior year I switched from [a major of] exercise science and minored in biology, so it was a big change, but I’m really happy about it.� Read more at fsunews. com.

Ace your finals without actually trying

Get in bed Being sleep deprived during a test is like being drunk for a test. Without proper sleep, you will perform poorly on a test. It might be difficult to say no to DayGlo on a Wednesday night, but getting eight hours of sleep is more important than throwing paint at strangers under black lights—at least during finals week. Make friends Being social is one of the best parts of summer, so why not add it to the study equation by forming study groups? The next time you’re ditching class to play beer pong, ask your partner if he or she wouldn’t mind skipping the last round to hit the books.

The male, who appeared to be having trouble lifting his head, retrieved his wallet after several failed attempts and handed over his Florida driver’s license to the officer. The male was identified as a current student at Florida State, and appeared to have lost selfcontrol due to substance abuse. According to a police report, the student had very slurred speech and was not familiar with his surroundings.

The student told police that he didn’t ride his bike often, but usually checked on it periodically to make sure it was safe in the parking lot.

SWIMMING from 1 ed the massive Summer Splash Pool Party this past Saturday, July 23.

Some of this success may have been courtesy world-class DJ duo MSTRKRFT (pronounced “mastercraft;� read our interview with the musicians in Arts & Life, page 5), who were spinning the party along with fellow DJs Opey, Journey, Pressure and Johnny Mac. While party buses like the local staple Zebra Bus dumped literal busloads of people onto the at-capacity pool at The Park at Forest Ridge, Stutus Liquors ran the bar and Mobi handled the free catering. And this was only “Phase 1� of the Summer Splash Pool Party Series—Phase 2 will take place Aug. 27, and with the stampede of FSU, TCC and FAMU students returning around that time, it promises to—somehow—be even bigger. The Park at Forest Ridge isn’t the first apartment complex to make their name with a pool party or two, though, and they certainly won’t be the last. The Preserve at San Luis is well known for their AJ’ssponsored parties, while Seminole Grand has enlisted The Tomahawk Bar & Grill for theirs, and nearly all of the complexes down Call Street are known for their waterlogged blowouts.

Study poolside If you are behind in your reading, you don’t have to be holed up in your room for hours on end. Go outside and work on your tan while reading. Reward yourself All work and no play is definitely not the way to go. For every chapter you complete, allow yourself 30 minutes of fun. That means completing four chapters gets you two hours of time to pool hop. Not a bad trade-off, and you don’t feel left out from the party. Take shortcuts If you can buy Student Notes from Bill’s Bookstore, then buy them. If a friend has old tests, then study them. Take any shortcut you can to cram the information in the brain. Summer classes are about retaking already failed classed; it is not about deepening your knowledge. —Compiled by Bailey Shertzinger

The wonderful mind of a ‘Dirty Head’ Duddy B talks music, Justin Timberlake, Beastie Boys and Harry Potter ERIC JAFFE

DB: Yes, I am.

Senior Staff Writer Before performing at next month’s highly anticipated 311 Pow Wow Festival (www.311powwowfest. com), The Dirty Heads’ lead vocalist and guitarist Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell checked in with the FSView for a zany interview about everything from marijuana to Harry Potter, Justin Timberlake and ’NSYNC. FSView & Florida Flambeau: So let’s start out with a simple question. You can look into this as deeply as you’d like: Who are The Dirty Heads and have they considered changing to a new shampoo or conditioner? Duddy B: [Laughs] Who are The Dirty Heads? The Dirty Heads are a couple of dudes who make beautiful music. FFF: And who is Duddy B? DB: Duddy B is me. FFF: I read online that you’re from Orange County, Cali. Is that correct? DB: Yes it is. FFF: Well, according to Katy Perry in her song “California Gurls,” California is famous for a few things: the beaches, the women and the parties— but there’s one more thing that makes California so great that both Snoop and Katy forget to mention. Would you like to guess what that is? DB: The Dirty Heads? FFF: Yes, that, but also something else. DB: Oh, marijuana [laughs]. FFF: Are you a pot smoker?

FFF: So I’ve been doing this little survey of the reggae groups I’ve interviewed to find out which group spends the most money on marijuana per week. Right now, Ryan Moran, the drummer for Slightly Stoopid, is in the lead with $500 a week. Do you think you can top that? DB: Definitely not. I’ve never spent a dime on weed in my life. FFF: How is that? DB: I’m sponsored! I have my own medical marijuana strain! FFF: That’s impressive. DB: Yeah, so no money spent on weed for me [laughs]. FFF: Anyway, I wanted to talk a little bit about Any Port in a Storm; great title, by the way. DB: Thank you.

The Dirty Heads will perform at the 311 Pow Wow Festival in Live Oak, Fla., in August. FFF: So one of my favorite songs on the album is “Chelsea,” and I can’t help but wonder— because it’s never explicitly stated in the song—is Chelsea a real person? DB: Chelsea is actually one of my ex-girlfriends from high school. She died in a drunken driving incident. That song is about her. FFF: Another track I found particularly interesting was “Check the Level.” Now, I know you’re obviously a team player, but when listening to this particular track, as well as “Crazy Girls,” I can’t help but wonder what a Duddy B solo album or EP might sound like. Is that something that’s in the cards for you? DB: Oh, definitely. I’m a big group person, and

I love the Dirty Heads— they’re my best friends— but I’ve definitely been interested in doing some solo stuff for a while now. The group is actually very supportive; I’ll be working on a track and it may not fit our usual sound, so they just tell me to get to work on putting out that solo album. FFF: What kind of sounds would you be working with on your solo work? DB: Just mellower, more acoustic-driven stuff. It wouldn’t be too far off from my work with the group, but definitely more mellow, more Jack Johnson-y. FFF: Well, what does the future have in store for the band, then?

DB: We just want to be band that’ll still be touring 20 years from now; the type of band that never has to release another album or have another song on the radio—just travel the globe doing shows like the Pow Wow Festival for the rest of our lives. FFF: So you don’t have any plans to release a second studio album just yet? DB: Oh, no, we’re working on a second album, that’s for sure. FFF: How many tracks into it are you? DB: Well we have a lot of ideas down, but only about half of them will probably make the record. Our music is constantly evolving, so records that might have sounded good

And, after a year of both playing and putting on shows in just about every venue in Tallahassee, he’s preparing to move on again in August—this time to Berlin—right as he’s become a household name around the local music community, having helped put on the massive Total Bummer 2.0 music festival this past March. His last show with AIRCRAFT will be at The Farside Monday, July 25, with Jane Jane Pollock, Loud Valley and Maximino. “Once you get to know people, you see how connected people are here— like, everybody knows everybody,” said Folker. “And they’re all very supportive of one another, whether it be something at The Farside or the multiple house venues here. Anything. Everybody does take an interest in what other people are doing, and so, as I’ve gotten more and more involved, I’ve seen that happen more and more. “It’s encouraging. You

You’re making all this music, and it may not even be great—it’s not really about that—but it’s just about getting out there and showing your craft, and showing what you’ve invested in.” For a musician new to Tallahassee, though, the backhand of a music community that’s, well, communal, is that its members may already have a stack of local music to listen to before they get to what you recorded on your Macbook last night. Additionally, bands form friendships and collectives with one another as venues find their favorite bill-fillers, and what forms as a result can only be described as—to use the word that spawned so many high school TV series—cliques. “Especially in the things that have been established here, you go to a certain band’s show, or even a venue—the venues will SEE MUSIC 7

MSTRKRFT candidly talks to the ‘FSView’ JFK, one-half of the electro duo, dishes on pool parties, experimenting with new sounds and the future of music RENEE RODRIGUEZ Assistant Editor This past weekend, on Saturday, July 23, The Park at Forest Ridge played host to a massive pool party with a number of DJs set to perform—among them was renowned Toronto electronic duo MSTRKRFT (pronounced “master craft”). Before the pool party took place, I was able to obtain an interview with one-half of MSTRKRFT, Jesse F. Keeler (aka JFK). Keeler explained that he and Al-P (Alex Puodziukas) were booked to play in town, but only recently found out that

it would be at a pool party. Perhaps I don’t know the guy well enough to judge, but I don’t quite picture pool parties to be Keeler’s regular scene. When asked about what he thought about that, Keeler replied, “It’s gonna be hot,” followed by a throaty chuckle. As it turns out, the party was “hot,” in more ways than one, as legions of fans gathered in the sweltering Tallahassee heat on a humid, rainy Saturday to witness the duo in action and were, in turn, treated to a fiery set.

God bless ‘Captain America’ Marvel’s latest not quite ‘Iron Man,’ but close enough ERIC JAFFE Staff Writer A scrawny young man with an unyielding sense of patriotism and bravery, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) tries senselessly to pass World War II army physicals, faking his hometown on each document to avoid his persistency being discovered. He has all of the will power in the world. What he is lacks, however, is physical power. At risk for various heart diseases and the son of two fallen soldiers, Rogers’ enlistment is turned down left and right, but he refuses to give up. This determination is exactly what brings him to Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), a GermanAmerican scientist who, in collaboration with Howard Stark (Iron Man’s likeminded father), may have discovered the cure for all of our hero’s problems: a machine that transfers

energy and power into the body of any humanbeing, turning them into a so-called “super soldier� with the power to take on legions of fighters singlehandedly. It’s in this machine that Captain America is born. The biggest problem with Captain America is that it feels like this origin story has been told a hundred times before. Think about it: a weak, scrawny character with little hope and no parents is suddenly given an immense amount of power. His mentor, usually a wiser character with a ton of heart, is suddenly murdered, forcing our hero to set out on a journey to avenge this character’s death, completely unaware that a villain of similar origin awaits his arrival. Then, through the power of “good,� our hero comes out victorious. Everything from Harry Potter to Spider-Man and Kung Fu Panda follows

this exact same formula and, frankly, it’s starting to get old. Taking place predominantly in the early 1940s, the movie does manage to separate itself from the rest of the pack in terms of time and place. Joe Johnston, a director whose filmography dates back to 1989’s classic Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, helms The First Avenger with a surprising amount of skill. The film looks fantastic, and the set pieces are appropriately retro. Occasionally, cheesy dialogue aside, the screenplay is expertly paced and largely engaging, which is a lot more than I can say about last month’s Green Lantern. The acting, too, is surprisingly strong. Evans, whose last superhero role was in the atrocious Fantastic Four films, is extremely enjoyable in the lead role. Even in earlier scenes when his face is digitally inserted onto the shoulders

of a much smaller figure, he maintains a strong screen presence that’s not quite on par with Robert Downey’s Tony Stark, but certainly fares better than Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. He’ll make a nice Avengers addition, no doubt. Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving are superb in their supporting roles as well, while Hayley Atwell is distracting beautiful as the Captain’s love interest, Peggy Carter. Overall, the cast performs admirably. Captain America isn’t the most original movie you’ll see this summer by a long shot, but it is a solid piece of brainless entertainment that transitions nicely into next summer’s highly anticipated Avengers debut (stay after the credits to see Iron Man, Thor and Captain America on screen together for the first time). The 3D, however, is a complete waste of money. See it in 2D if you have the choice.

a way, have become a part of the future of music journalism as they alone can play a major role in deciding what’s “good� and what’s “bad� just by sitting at their computers and sorting through an overabundance of songs and material found on virtually every music blog. This has also affected the role of the A&R divisions in record labels, Keeler said, as artists no longer have to rely on A&R execs to get noticed—instead, they can just upload their mate-

rial onto the Web for listeners to find and enjoy (or hate) on their own. That said, Keeler does see value in current music journalism as he believes quality control is still important and, of course, because it leads to interviews and discussions like ours. Who knows? Maybe we’ll revisit this conversation at the next pool party. In the meantime, you can stream and download two new songs by MSTRKRFT for free on their site, www. mstrkrft.com.

MSTRKRFT from 5 ing as MSTRKRFT, however, Keeler was one-half of noise rock duo Death From Above 1979. Prior to officially disbanding from DFA1979 with bandmate Sebastien Grainger in 2006, Keeler had begun working on a new project in 2005 with Al-P, who served as the producer on DFA1979’s You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine. Together, Keeler and Al-P originally established MSTRKRFT as a studio where they planned on working solely as a production team releasing records. In time, they found themselves working as artists under the moniker MSTRKRFT and dropped their first LP, The Looks, in July 2006—which received critical acclaim. During the time of its release, MSTRKRFT was among a small group of artists developing a new electro-house sound, including Digitalism, Justice and Boys Noize, to name a few. While MSTRKRFT and their musical peers gained recognition, it didn’t begin to take over

right away. With their second LP, Fist of God, which was released in 2009, MSTRKRFT took bigger risks (trying new sounds and experimenting with different genres such as rap and R&B, among others). As a result, the reactions were less than stellar compared to their first effort. I’d read that working on their second LP wasn’t entirely easy and asked Keeler about some of the challenges they encountered along the way. For one, their efforts to include different artists from different genres were difficult to say the least. According to Keeler, a number of the artists they contacted were hesitant about working with them as they weren’t as familiar with MSTRKRFT then and didn’t entirely have faith in the direction MSTRKRFT was heading toward. I asked Keeler what that experience was like, and he said that it was unfortunate but understandable—MSTRKRFT was trying something

different and not everyone was ready to get on board. Among those who did agree to work on the album were John Legend, Ghostface Killah, Lil Mo’ and others. Years later, the music scene has changed, as evinced by more mainstream artists trying to implement that electro sound artists such as MSTRKRFT have become known for—it’s become the music du jour. As a result, Keeler says MSTRKRFT is constantly approached by other artists for work. What’s interesting, he said, is that a number of these artists request material similar to that of their earlier work dating back a number of years—it seems they’ve finally caught up with the sounds MSTRKRFT and others first experimented with. Years later, MSTRKRFT continues to try to evolve and expand their sound, despite the risk of receiving not-sopleasant reviews. Negative reviews, however, are not significant to MSTRKRFT, Keeler said, as they’re more con-

cerned about what their listeners enjoy rather than what critics think. As someone who continually writes about music for a college newspaper and has garnered a number of interviews with bands/musicians, one may argue that I fit somewhere under the colossal umbrella of music journalism—even if it’s just on the outer tips. Aware that MSTRKFRT is somewhat weary about this profession, I questioned Keeler about the reasons behind that. Polite yet honest, Keeler told me he wasn’t demeaning our interview by any means, but explained that he believes music journalism is no longer the influential driving force it once was. Rather than turning to an album review featured in Rolling Stone as several music fans did religiously in the past, he said, listeners can find everything they want to know about an artist or an album on the Internet before it’s even released. As such, listeners, in

‘Friends With Benefits’ has its perks As far as romantic comedies go, you could do much worse ERIC JAFFE Staff Writer Friends With Benefits is an accumulation of every romantic comedy you’ve ever seen. Based solely on the trailer, one can predict how the film is going to end and be spot-on in their assumption. This is the second movie to come out this year about whether it’s possible to have casual sex without developing feelings for your partner, but the first movie to execute the premise with enough humor to make it worthwhile. Believe it or not, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have delivered a winner. So everyone already knows the premise— two best friends with commitment issues decide to use each other as human sex toys to avoid the potential heartbreak involved in a real relationship. Subplots are almost entirely absent while witty banter comes by the handful. As Walter Sobchak would say, the beauty of this movie is its simplicity. From the undeniable chemistry between its leads, to an outstanding supporting cast, the film is always eager to entertain and, for the most part, it succeeds.

I’ll start with the bad. Will Gluck, the man who went from directing the abysmal Fired Up to the surprisingly clever Easy A in one year’s time, is still pulling the same brutally obvious tricks that he did in the latter. Just because the characters spend a great deal of time mocking the ingenuity and cliché of Hollywood romance films doesn’t make it okay to succumb to the same formula with a quick wink and slap on the back like it’s all good and dandy. Oh, I get it! Justin Timberlake was making fun of how all romance films end with an upbeat pop song and now this movie

is ending with an upbeat pop song—how clever! Seriously, it’s a cheap screenwriting mechanism designed to make a film seem more original than it actually is. The film is clever enough as it is without these obvious plot contrivances. Like Easy A before it, Friends With Benefits relies heavily on dialogue-driven, oftensarcastic humor. Also like Easy A, the jokes are actually quite good ones. The first sex scene between Timberlake and Kunis is bound to be one of the funniest clips of the year. Well-acted, directed, and written, the scene brings all of the

a ferry is out to dinner and a movie”). Clarkson, on the other hand, pretty much reissues her role from Easy A as the scandalous mother who feels no need to filter her words. Love it or hate it, the character is as funny now as it was then. When watching this film, it becomes obvious that director Will Gluck is a one-trick pony. The similarities between the film and its predecessor Easy A are as clear as they are numerous. Fortunately for him, the model works. Often hilarious and occasionally endearing, Friends With Benefits is great entertainment.

film’s greatest strengths to the forefront. Timberlake and Kunis are perfect as Dylan and Jamie. The actors seem extremely comfortable with one another and display a great deal of comedic ability. Even better, however, are Woody Harrelson and Patricia Clarkson. Harrelson plays a sports editor for GQ magazine by the name of Tommy. An enthusiastically gay and extremely loud character, Tommy breaks any and every stereotype of your traditional sports enthusiast while delivering some excellent oneliners in the process (“I live across the water and the only place I’m taking

MUSIC from 5 have their cliques and their groups that hang out,” said Folker. “You go there, and they’re kind of already established, you know, it’s like their ‘hangout,’ whatever you want to call it.” There seems to be a general complaint in Tallahassee that there’s nowhere to see a show here. When one puts a little more time into it, though, it seems as though the list never ends: there’s Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack, Bradfordville Blues Club, Club Downunder, The Engine Room, The Farside, Floyd’s, Mockingbird Café, The Moon, Potbelly’s, St. Michael’s Pub, Train Wreck, as well as B Sharp’s Jazz Café and The HiFi Jazz Café, which doesn’t even begin to touch on DIYno House, Coolifornia, The Shark Tank and countless other off-and-on house venues— and, if you’re looking for a DJ night, you’re probably within walking distance of at least a dozen. “It was very cliquey and it’ll always be very cliquey— that’s why we started doing

our own thing,” said Chris Manley of DJ trio Team Jaguar, whose “own thing” became the largest and longest-running dance party in town, Menace Beach. “And in the last three years, we’re now getting paid attention to by everybody else. By ‘we,’ I mean Menace Beach in general, all the residents, you know, Team Jaguar as a whole piece. Nobody took us seriously when we first started it, but we just kept doing our own thing on the other side of town and people started taking notice. I’m really happy for it—it’s awesome—but anybody new into the scene, kids who tell me they want to start DJing? I tell them to start small, play house shows, get a following and then meet some friends— talk to people, you know? Or start your own party and see how it goes. A lot of people just want to jump into something that’s already established—there’s no harm in starting your own thing.” A local band’s first steps can often be their most dif-

ficult—many never get far past figuring out a really badass band name—and the Internet’s far-reaching effects on underground music have only made those bits more complicated. For instance, should you first work on recording a demo, or register a witty dot-com domain name? Do you start by playing open mics, or get an online quote for custom-made panties with your band’s initials printed on the ass? There’s far, far from just one path to success in music. No matter how many panties you order in bulk online, though, when it comes to connecting in a local music community, not much can replace a simple compliment and handshake after a good show. Folker said that starting from the ground up means—put simply—being around. “My biggest pet peeve is when bands don’t go to shows,” said Folker. “You know, you have your life, and you’re busy and you got to do things, and I understand that. But, as a

solid songwriting. “I did that [networking] sh** for f**king years,” said Driscoll. “I’m kind of glad, on some level, that it took that long, because it made me get better at what I was doing. That’s the earning respect part of it, but ultimately, getting shows locally or on whatever small scale that you get them—I mean, to me, if you’re trying to write good music, most of this stuff doesn’t really have anything to do with it. You’re going to write really good music and nobody’s going to pay attention or you’re going to write really good music and people might happen to pay attention. You don’t have to be involved in anything for that to be the case—at all, ever. It just doesn’t have to be the case.” The bottom line is: A city is what you make of it, and a music community is exactly what you put into it. No prominent independent music scene—and no Farside Collective or homemade Tallahassee punk festival—has ever existed

band, you kind of have to understand that you got to network. Even in your town, in your city, you got to go to shows and you got to meet other bands, and you got to connect with other bands and guys like [Owner of The Engine Room] Truewill [Mashburn] and The Farside Collective. You kind of have to show your face. You build that trust. Then they’re like, ‘Oh, OK, yeah, you want to do a show? Sure.’ It also shows that you’re putting in an effort, so when you do put on shows, they trust that you’re not going to just show up, play a show and get out of there. You’re going to invest in the show, too.” Others, however, see one’s ability to book a show as secondary—more important is whether or not one can even pull off a decent show in the first place. Cory Driscoll, the recently returned singer-songwriter behind defunct local favorites Curious Animals, said that a scene “doesn’t really make a lot of difference” to

Britain’s phone-hacking scandal: What does it mean for U.S.? Coming To America

Survey says... HEATHER MCQUEEN Staff Writer

Nyle Hall, junior No, I just did not want to see it. I am not a Harry Potter fan.

To submit a letter to the editor, shoot us a line via e-mail: managing_ editor@fsview.com. Please include full name, year in school, city and state.

The other side of the pond is now experiencing quite an overhaul within the British press, political establishments and police establishments after the emergence of the News of the World phone-hacking scandal. According to multiple news reports, reporters at News of the World allegedly hacked into the phones of nearly 4,000 people between 2000 and 2005, bribing police and political figures along the way. The Guardian, another U.K. newspaper, featured an article earlier

this month and was the first to reveal the full extent of the hackings. In 2006, the News of the World’s royal editor was jailed, along with his hired investigator and private eye, for hacking into members of the royal family’s phones. Now, reports reveleaded not only of celebrity and royal family phonehackings, but also of deceased British soldiers’ relatives, victims of the 7/7 London bombings and the murdered 13-year-old girl, Milly Dowler. Allegations against Rupert Murdoch’s famed tabloid, and his media empire, News Corp., are continuing to surface, along with the revelation of facts throughout the investigation. The entire scandal goes beyond a matter of trusting the press—the News of the World was a tabloid newspaper, after all, and continued patronizing of the paper meant that readers were interested and eager

to read the scandalous coverage the NoW provided. We are often used to seeing, while standing in the grocery checkout line, The National Enquirer or Globe magazine reporting celebrity faux pas, alien babies and religious sightings, and most of us do not take it seriously—I hope. But the comparison of these tabloids to the NoW is not the same. The practice and acceptance of hacking, along with other illegal means of information attainment, was infiltrating the political arena and police force as well. Similarly, News Corp. was paying millions of dollars in hush money to celebrity victims of the phone-hackings, in addition to many other high profile targets. There now remains the pertinent question of Rupert Murdoch’s guilt and knowledge of the goings-on of his company. Terms have been

thrown around including “willful ignorance,” and whether or not Murdoch had prior knowledge of the abuses of power, there is ultimately an abuse of responsibility as a result on his part. The NoW reporters stooped to unethical levels in an attempt to ensure the bottom line—to generate a stream of revenue that has proven to be deteriorating for the paper throughout the past decade. But what exactly does this have to do with the U.S.? For one thing, the NoW scandal goes far beyond the borders of the U.K., even though many commentaries about the scandal seem to characterize it as only their problem, and solely representative of corruption within the British press and government. On the contrary, the ethical elements involved in this scandal affect every publication and news source worldwide, even including

university newspapers like the FSView. There should be a thorough examination of our own practices throughout the country in order to ensure a just freedom of the press that does not infringe on the rights of citizens. Murdoch’s parent company, News Corp., has holdings including the Wall Street Journal, New York Post and the FOX Broadcasting Company. The FBI has begun an investigation to see if 9/11 victims and their families have been subjected to illegal hacking as well. Journalistic media largely shapes and motivates the political, social and economic climates of a society. Even more, it is one of the primary lenses through which we view the world. If it is corrupt, skewed and altered for political purposes and monetary gain, any sense of ethical conduct and public trust is lost—that is, if we find out about it.

Mixed Nuts By Nicholas Stenstrom

Ale’ Hatfidle, junior No, I am not a Harry Potter fan. I did not read the books; I did not go see the movies.

Crsh Oncer, sophomore I decided not to go because I really don’t like Harry Potter.

Rick Scott: Paving the way to nothing Hope Will Never Be Silent

Staff Writer Gov. Rick Scott, surprisingly, hasn’t gotten any more popular in the months that have passed since the election. Even some people who voted for him cry out in disbelief at some of the things he’s doing, to which I just nod my head and smile. As Scott Maxwell, a columnist at the Orlando Sentinel put it, “The first-time governor … now has an approval rating of 27 percent. That makes him one of the least popular politicians in the United States and only slightly more popular than a hemorrhoid.” He adds that this figure is from a poll affiliated with Sunshine State News, a very right-wing source.

At the time of the election, all of his followers—the loyal ones and the blind ones—claimed that Scott would bring jobs to Florida and help revamp our economy. The jobs, however, still remain to be seen. Florida’s unemployment rate still remains about 1.5 percent above the national average at 10.6 percent, and if you talk to anyone who is desperately searching for a job (outside of a grocery store or fast food restaurant), they will most likely tell you that it is no easy task. To Gov. Scott’s defense, I will say that no reasonable person would expect him—or any governor of any party—to create hundreds of thousands of jobs in six months, but it takes a lot more than lack of results to yield approval ratings so low. Due to the fact that it would likely take every page in this newspaper to list everything wrong Scott has done, I just want to skim over one of his ideas that has been receiving a lot of heat from both parties this

month. Back in January, the idea was brought to the table to close 53 of the least-visited state parks in Florida. The idea was proposed to save a couple million dollars to help close the state’s $3.6 billion deficit. Considering that Scott also wants to cut four billion dollars in tax revenue, I think he may need a quick review of elementary mathematics. Either that or the public needs a quick review of his true motives. In the face of enormous criticism and public protest by citizens and politicians on both sides of the spectrum, the idea to close the parks was more or less nixed. Now, however, Scott has a much more brilliant idea. The parks are to be handed over to private companies so that they can be paved over to make campsites with RV parking. Luckily, the protesters were vocal enough in Dunedin (just north of St. Petersburg) to force Scott into cancelling his plan to create overnight parking at Honeymoon Island State Park,

the state’s most visited park with over 700,000 visitors per year. Those opposed to the plan, including myself, would point out that the visitors going to our state’s parks are going to see Florida’s natural beauty. A quote from Eric Draper, Audubon of Florida’s executive director, in an article by Dara Kim pretty well sums it up: “This is an award-winning parks system that got an award not because it created RV campgrounds but because it balances Florida’s unique natural resources and the ability of people to go and enjoy those natural resources.” Other critics point out that Rick Scott, having barely lived in Florida for 10 years, doesn’t understand what makes our parks so award-win-

ning. At least we can say that we’ve survived about one eighth of his term. Though I can’t imagine what this gem of a man has planned for us later in his term; I’m sure we haven’t seen the worst of his policy ideas and new laws. Perhaps after Fair Districts— which has survived despite desperate protest by Florida Republicans (who are only in office due to unfair districts)— comes into effect, the next election will at least show a change of tide for our state legislative branch and our national congressional districts. We can only hope that we have jobs, public schools, unpaved parks and beaches and sane residents left when that happens.

In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm off the New England coast late at night and began sinking; at least 51 people were killed. In 1960, a Woolworth's store in Greensboro, N.C., that had been the scene of a sit-in protest against its whites-only lunch counter dropped its segregation policy. In 1963, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain ini-

In 1984, Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya (sah-VEETS'kah-yah) became the first woman to walk in space as she carried out more than three hours of experiments outside the orbiting space station Salyut 7. In 1986, movie director Vincente Minnelli, known for such musicals as "Gigi," ''An American in Paris" and "Meet Me in St. Louis," died in Los Angeles at age 83. In 2000, a New York-bound Air France Concorde crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground; it was the first-ever crash of the supersonic jet. Ten years ago: Three masked men gunned down Phoolan Devi, India's onetime "Bandit Queen," killing the outlaw-turned-legislator who was idolized by the poor as a champion of the lower castes. Five years ago: Israeli troops sealed off a Hezbollah stronghold and widened their control of southern Lebanon; an Israeli airstrike hit a U.N. border outpost, killing four observers. President George W. Bush was visited at the White House by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (NOO'ree ahl-MAHL'-ih-kee), who said he and Bush agreed that training and better arming Iraqi forces as quickly as possible was central to efforts to stabilizing his country.

Ponzi-schemed coaches meet with lawyers Scammed NCAA coaches gather with a legal team after David Salinas conned them for millions FSVIEW AND FLORIDA FLAMBEAU WIRE REPORT A number of coaches who lost money in David Salinas’ alleged Ponzi scheme met this past Sunday afternoon at a downtown Las Vegas hotel with a legal team that represents the National Association of Basketball Coaches, multiple sources said. According to sources, the purpose of the meeting is to centralize the coaches’ issues in an attempt to make their case for the return of money lost through the Salinas’ alleged scheme. The meeting will also address coaches’ concerns about any perceived NCAA issues that have arisen during the course of the

public disclosure of the scheme. A group of the coaches who lost money with Salinas told ESPN.com over the past week that they never looked to get players from Salinas’ Houston Select AAU team in exchange for investing with him. But they also said they understand how that perception was created since he was an AAU program owner. A few coaches said in hindsight it wasn’t the best idea to invest with him based on the perception. Still, they are adamant that their issues are only dealing with lost bond funds and nothing else. Salinas, who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday at his home in Friendswood, Texas, was the

apparent target of an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission into whether he orchestrated a multi-million dollar fraud scheme and swindled investors. Sources say Salinas had a wide net of clients, from basketball and football coaches to university endowments to churches in the Houston-area and was heavily involved with The University of Houston and Rice University. Salinas, 60, was on the board of directors of a nonprofit foundation that raises funds for Houston’s athletic programs. He donated a total of $202,069 to Houston athletics between 2000 and 2010, the school told the Houston Chronicle. Houston-area media

outlets reported last week that Houston found no compliance issues related to Salinas following an internal review. In a statement, Houston Athletic Director Mack Rhoades said an internal review conducted by the school determined there were no NCAA compliance issues in relation to Salinas and his Houston Select AAU program. The university also said it has not been contacted by the NCAA. Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie, Baylor’s Scott Drew, former Arizona coach Lute Olson, Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi coach Willis Wilson, Gonzaga coach Mark Few and Gonzaga assistant and former Utah coach Ray Giacoletti are among

coaches who lost money by investing in Salinas’ alleged scheme. A number of other men’s basketball coaches who have not been publicly identified were also investing with Salinas. Former Houston coach Tom Penders told ESPN. com that he received a call, but Penders said he couldn’t produce any evidence of players being funneled for money. Penders, who declined to invest with Salinas, acknowledged that Salinas was part of a group that tried to oust him at Houston prior to his departure a year ago. “[Salinas’ death] is something that none of his friends could have expected,” Olson said in a statement last Wednesday. “Yes, I’ve invested

with David and he’s been a friend for a while, but I did not invest money until after I had retired from coaching.” Arizona had one player —Juwann McClellan— who played for Houston Select before attending the university. Salinas first was introduced to college coaches as possible investors in 1988 when he befriended the Rice coaching staff while his son Chris was playing youth basketball. Then-Rice coach Scott Thompson and assistant Grey Giovanine were the first to invest with him in the late 1980s before introducing him as a trusted friend to other coaches at subsequent Final Fours. Giacoletti also invested through Salinas in the late 1980s.

and even upended defending Olympic champion Japan on July 12 in a 1-0 victory where the former FSU standout went 1-for-3. Rafter and the Canadian National Team faced off against the United States this past Saturday. Rafter homered and drove in three runs, in the 4-3 victory for their second straight win over the once-dominant Americans at the World Cup. The six-team event also featured Japan, Australia, Great Britain and the Czech Republic. Team Canada opened play against Japan this past Thursday and were defeated 9-6 after a two-run, eighth inning homerun broke the game open for Japan. The championship game will feature the top two seeds with the best records from the round robin format on Monday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

“Going to Oklahoma and playing in the world cup of softball has always been one of my favorite events,”

Rafter said. “Getting the opportunity to play in the field where softball gained its popularity through the

college game has always been a neat experience. They always draw great crowds and the fans are so

knowledgeable about the game. It is a world-class event with a competitive field this year.”

She also ended her junior campaign by making the CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America First Team. “It is always fun to see players have the ability to play after college,” Florida State head coach Lonni Alameda said, having aided in the development of the Canadian National Team. “Kaleigh has been very fortunate to travel the world because of this game. It is great that she gets another opportunity to play in such an exciting event hosted by a great place like Oklahoma City.” Team Canada recently hosted the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Women’s International Championship in Surrey, British Columbia.

Buckley finally gets his due, but why the wait? Former FSU, NCAA and NFL record holder Terrell Buckley to have his No. 27 jersey retired after a 21-year wait ZACK PARKER Staff Writer With the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Tennessee’s safety Eric Berry, and suddenly, former Florida State standout Terrell Buckley’s name was revived. Berry fell a mere seven yards short of the NCAA all-time record for interception return yards achieved by Buckley (1989-91) with 501 yards. Buckley—now an assistant speed and strength coach for the Seminoles— got his due after a lengthy 21-year wait. “He’s very, very deserving,” Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher said of Buckley being honored. “The guy was ranked as one of the top 100 college players of all time. The way he controlled the game, he’s one of the all-time greats—not only in Florida State history, but in college football history.” In 1989, the Seminoles recruited Buckley, a 5-foot10, 175-pound kid out of Pascagoula, Miss., to play defensive back. Garnering

All-State honors in baseball and football, Buckley was regarded as one of the most gifted athletes in his class. As a freshman at Florida State, he wore jersey No. 22 and had minimal playing time. For one reason or another, before his sophomore year, he changed his number to 27, and some could say it was the right decision. In his three-year stint as a Seminole, Buckley electrified crowds as a defensive back and in the return game, as well. Collecting 21 interceptions and taking seven back for touchdowns (four interception returns and three punt returns) while playing in the garnet and gold. Buckley was the 1991 Jim Thorpe award recipient, which is given to the nation’s best defensive back, and taking place on Sept. 3—during Florida State’s opener against Louisiana-Monroe—Buckley will have his No. 27 jersey retired after a 21-year hiatus. But why has the wait been so long to honor Buckley? His stats and accolades haven’t changed and he

Rafter competes at World Cup Former FSU standout Kaleigh Rafter represented Team Canada at last week’s World Cup of Softball AL BUZZELLI Sports Editor Former Florida State University student-athlete Kaleigh Rafter represented Team Canada at the sixth annual World Cup of Softball that began this past Thursday in Oklahoma City, Okla., at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. The event ran from July 21-25. Rafter, born in Guelph, Ontario, came to Florida State for her senior season in 2009 after spending three years at Detroit-Mercy. The talented catcher and first baseman made

the most of her lone year as a Seminole, compiling a .333 batting average with 11 home runs, 42 RBIs, 11 doubles and a .585 slugging percentage. She finished the season as an All-ACC first-team performer, first-team allregion, All-ACC Tournament Team and earned an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. Rafter, who was a twotime Horizon League Player of the Year, was part of Team Canada’s run in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games that finished fourth. At the time, she

hit a three-run home run in the eighth game against the Netherlands to make her one of the youngest players ever to record a round-tripper at a softball Olympic event, in which she was just 21 years old. The Seminole alumna’s three seasons in the Horizon League made her wellknown throughout the collegiate softball circuit. At Detroit-Mercy, Rafter batted .359 with 12 home runs as a sophomore, and produced an even better junior year in 2007 when SEE RAFTER 12

This past Tuesday, Florida State Director of Athletics Randy Spetman announced that Bob Braman—head coach of the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field programs at FSU—would be rewarded for his outstanding results since taking the reins in Tallahassee back in 2003. Braman was awarded a three-year contract extension that will keep him at Florida State until at least July 31, 2014. This extension marks the second three-year extension the university has offered Braman, who has been nothing short of spectacular for the Seminoles. Since his arrival at FSU, Braman has led the Seminole men to two

NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships, and fell just one point shy of a third championship last month. “President Barron, myself and the university are very appreciative of the outstanding, quality programs Bob Braman runs in both cross country and track—in the classroom, the community and competitively,” Spetman stated. “He has brought together a tremendously motivated and extremely qualified staff, every one of whom have been essential to the excellence we’ve enjoyed in both sports on the men’s and women’s sides.” Braman led the men’s and women’s cross country teams to runner-up finishes at the NCAA Championships in Indiana.

NCAA forces Georgia Tech to vacate 2009 ACC title Georgia Tech will have to vacate its 2009 ACC football championship, pay a fine of $100,000 and face four years probation as part of several sanctions imposed by the NCAA on Thursday for failure to cooperate in an investigation. There were additional violations by the men’s basketball team for holding a non-scholastic tournament on campus. What began as an isolated incident of imper-

missible benefits and preferential treatment, turned into a heavy penalty because of the university’s failure to cooperate, according to the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions. According to the NCAA release, Georgia Tech staff members provided information to a football player regarding the scope of his upcoming interview, and the staff did not declare another athlete ineligible after “being made aware of information that raised serious questions about his eligibility.” Specifically, the student-athlete received several items of clothing, valued at approximately $312, from a friend of a sports agency employee.
