Pixies’ Hard-Hitting Punk Rocks the Bluestem Pixies, Mitski leave no fan disappointed at Oct. 12 Bluestem show

The Pixies rocked the Bluestem Amphitheater in Moorhead, Minnesota, this past Thursday, Oct. 12, with an explosive set of songs spanning the band’s successful career.

It was a gorgeous fall evening when opening act Mitski brought her music to the stage before an audience of every age, from 16 to 65 year olds.

Playing a set consisting of equal parts “Bury Me At Makeout Creek” and her newest album, “Puberty 2,” Mitski and company introduced much of the audience to her unique blend of punk and outsider-indie with subject matter involving hopeless longing.

Living most of her life in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Turkey before settling in New York, there was no doubt the weather was colder than she was used to. She wore a sweatshirt over her stage clothes until right before beginning and sipped hot liquids from a styrofoam cup.

Mitski acknowledged her appreciation for the unique venue, telling the crowd how nice it was to play under a big open sky.

Perhaps even more than with her music, Mitski seemed to win over the crowd with the comical juxtaposition of her heavy, desperate lyrics and her small quiet voice, thanking the audience between songs.

If a criticism could be made, it would be that the touring guitarist spent a majority of his time pacing back and forth with his back to the audience even as he played solos.

The atmosphere was cheerful between perfor-

INSIDE

mances, as people chatted happily and milled about enjoying the pleasant fall evening.

After nonchalantly walking onto stage, the Pixies went straight into their high energy setlist of 31 songs, spanning the entirety of the band’s catalog. Starting with “Havalina,” off of the hit album “Surfer Rosa.”

While the tour is in support of their newest album “Head Carrier,” which came out last year, the Pixies’ set introduced new songs few and far between, tightly packing them between sizable chunks of fan favorites.

It would appear as though the band realized the concert had to be more about the songs fans missed hearing live than trying to cultivate new favorites for their fans. Despite this, much of the audience appeared to be familiar with “Head Carrier” material.

The entire setlist was churned out one right after the other, momentarily dimmed lights the only thing separating one song from the next, with absolutely no stage banter with the audience. Some fans were a little disappointed in this, but as another pointed out, “They know we know who they are. Why do they have to say anything?” And the press release for the tour did foreshadow the lack of back and forth between the audience and band.

Crowd favorites such as “Where Is My Mind?,” “Here Comes Your Man,” “Gouge Away” and “Monkey Gone To Heaven” were all there, with the band even managing to sneak in two covers in their jam-packed set: “Winterlong” by Neil Young and “Head On” by Jesus Mary Chain.

The enthusiasm of the audience after the Pixies finished their last song, “Hey”

off of “Doolittle,” prompted the launch of the encore set without the band leaving the stage. Popular track “Debaser” had everyone ecstatically singing along before bassist Paz Lenchantin soothed the audience’s energy as she cooed out the sweet tune “All I Think About Now,” a song ironically about the departure of longtime bassist Kim Deal and included on the latest album.

Pixies fans left the Bluestem Amphitheater with all their musical dreams fulfilled, feet soar from jumping and voices hoarse from singing along, eagerly awaiting the day when the band will grace the stage once again.

Secret Service Solicits Service to NDSU Students

Recruiting for a new generation of Secret Service agents

Uniformed division officer stands post during a tour of the White House.

Samuel Caspers Co-News Editor

New uniformed division officers of the Secret Service can expect to make about $60,000 a year, but the road to get there is filled with blood, sweat and training. Lots and lots of training.

Blaine Forschen, assistant special agent in charge of the talent and acquisition management division, Antonio Davis, officer technician in the Secret Service Uniformed Division, and Special Agent Lisa Robertson gave a presentation to students interested in joining the Secret Service and answered questions Monday in the Memorial Union.

The department of criminal

justice and political science organized the event.

To become a Secret Service agent, one must undergo rigorous and thorough training. This training starts at a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

“This’ll be the only time in your life where you can crash a car and not get into trouble,” Davis said. Prospective officers learn police procedures, driver training and firearms training among other things.

After this 12-week program concludes, an additional 14-week program begins at the Secret Service’s training facility outside of Washington, D.C. where specialized instruction teaches “the Secret Service way and how we want it

done,” Davis said.

Once the 26-week training program is over, recruits finally graduate to the big leagues where they will be “equipped for whatever,” according to Davis. They will be placed in one of three sectors: the White House, the Vice President’s residence and foreign affairs.

After working for three years, uniformed division officers have the chance — if they meet all basic requirements — to advance into a specialized team that comes with a 6 percent pay increase.

These teams include the countersniper team, emergency response team, canine motorcade support unit, crime scene search unit and the office of human resourc-

Congress and the Opioid Crisis

es and training.

Countersnipers travel at least 200 days of the year according to Davis. The countersniper team is also making history. For the first time ever, “We have two women on our countersniper team,” Robertson said. “And those women can shoot.”

While working away from the D.C. area, officers are given a per diem for food. This allowance can be pocketed and saved or spent immediately.

Forschen said that after a few weeks working in Australia, he was able to buy his daughter an $18,000 car with the cash he’d saved from the per diems. “Wouldn’t it be nice to be his daughter,” Robertson joked.

The per diem amount is

based on city location. For instance, officers receive $74 per day in New York City, but nearly $300 if they’re working in Japan.

One of the busiest times of year for agents is during election season. Officers are pushed to physical and mental extremes as they work 30 consecutive days on the job.

They are rewarded, however, with 30 consecutive days off the job. “I’ve never been bored in this job,” Forschen said. “But my feet do hurt,” Robertson shared.

The Secret Service originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department after its creation in 1865. The Secret Service’s main objective back then was to investigate and prevent the dangers of counter-

feit money that flooded the Union after the Civil War. After the assassinations of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, all of which took place within a 30-year span from 1865 to 1901, the Secret Service had a new objective: protect the president, no matter who he or she may be, Forschen said.

“You pick them. We protect them,” Robertson said.

She followed up by saying whatever bias agents have politically must be left out of the workplace in order to fulfill their duty.

Canoe Parade Invades Red River

‘60 Minutes’ investigation finds Congress weakened DEA during epidemic Quinn Garrick Staff Writer

In April 2016, Congress stripped the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of the ability to freeze suspicious shipments of narcotics, which resulted in prescription painkillers to fill the nation’s streets during the deadliest drug epidemic in United States history, according to an investigation done by “60 Minutes” and The Washington Post.

A few members of Congress, with the help and influence of some of the top drug distributors, dealt a blow to the DEA and the Justice Department by putting in place a law that greatly favors the industry while undermining drug enforcement efforts related to painkillers. With more than 200,000 lives claimed by opioids, and the number continuing to rise, the DEA strongly opposed the effort.

In the past, drug distributors received fines for ignoring DEA warnings, which

asked them to shut down sales of prescription painkillers that were deemed suspicious, all while the companies profited billions of dollars from the sales.

The new industry-friendly law from Congress makes it essentially impossible for the DEA to freeze suspicious shipments from distributors, stripping the agency of the best tool to immediately prevent drugs from reaching the street.

The leading advocate and architect of the law was Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA), who is President Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) was key to the legislation passing after negotiating a final version with the DEA. The pharmaceutical industry has been working for years on a lobbying and funding campaign on Capitol Hill to weaken DEA enforcement efforts against drug distributors that were supplying narcotics with little to no regulation. Significant industry players worked with

lobbyists and key members of Congress and spent millions of dollars in election campaigns.

Pharmaceutical political action committees contributed over $1.5 million to the 23 Congressional members that sponsored or co-sponsored the bill, with nearly $100,000 going to Marino and $177,000 to Hatch. The industry spent $102 million in lobbying efforts for the bill and other legislation between 2014 and 2016.

“The drug industry, the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and chain drugstores, have an influence over Congress that has never been seen before,” Joseph T. Rannazzisi, who ran the DEA division responsible for regulating the drug industry, said in a statement to The Washington Post. “I mean, to get Congress to pass a bill to protect their interests in the height of an opioid epidemic just shows me how much influence they have.”

The Gaba’s canoe won the Golden Paddle and promoted world peace.

Dan Ukkelberg Staff Writer

The first annual floating canoe parade showcased the connection between the Red River, the people who live around it and how it shapes the community. Nine canoes showed up for the event, each bringing their own group of followers to spectate. The parade had floats decorated in many different fashions.

Everything from a loon to a Viking ship was represented.

“We don’t use the river enough,” Folkways event organizer and founder Simone Wai said. “The river is the central part of our community, so I thought, what better way to draw people there than decorated

canoes. We wanted to create positive memories on the river, and I think we did just that.”

“People are already planning their floats for next year,” co-organizer Joe Burgum said. “We had a lot of people that were interested that weren’t able to participate this year. We really hope to do something with fire next year. Some sort of dragon barge would be fun.”

Burgum stated that the community has great performing arts, visual arts and music, but stressed that the hope is to create a community ritual involving spectacle art. The purpose behind this spectacle art is to create joy, make people smile and think to

themselves how crazy, weird and fun art can be.

At the end of the parade, an award called the Golden Paddle was given to the winning team. This year’s recipients were Vijay and Anu Gaba. The Gaba’s, immigrants from India, entered the parade with their float “World Peace,” a canoe decorated in various types of artificial flowers topped with a banner on either side of the vessel reading “Peace.”

“Being outsiders, you see so much conflict, and we wanted to spread some love and peace in the Fargo area,” Anu Gaba said.

The event was originally scheduled for Sept. 24 but was postponed because of the rain. The parade took place Oct. 15.

In the US, Pornhub Watches YOU

Recent hack of the popular porn site may mean users are being watched Phoebe Ellis

Head News Editor

Pornhub, the popular porn site, has recently closed a hack that has been occurring for over a year, The Guardian reported.

The hack meant that a pop-up would appear on users screens to install an update to their internet browser. Those who agreed

to the update experienced the virus infecting their computer. The virus gave control on the user’s computer to whoever created the virus.

The virus then generated fake advertisements that created real profit for other websites, commonly known as “malvertising.” However, this could have just as well have been any other version of virus with much more

malicious intent.

The legality of hacking is still in the works. However, two students from North Dakota State, Nicholas Dailey and Matthew Dawson, both students of computer engineering, said that they were not only uncomfortable, but that they believed hacking a computer or the server it’s on is illegal because it’s valued as private property.

According to cgs.ct.gov, the law states that to access a computer or any of its systems without consent is illegal. The website also stated that the penalties range from a class B misdemeanor, meaning six months in prison, or a fine of up to $1,000 or both, to a class B felony, meaning up to 20 years in prison, or a fine of up to $15,000 or both.

The group responsible

for the attack was KovCoreG group, according to proofpoint.com. The attack spanned the globe, affecting users in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Pornhub is one of the top porn sites out there, putting out over 90 billion videos a year, enough for more than 12 videos per person on earth, according to Pornhub’s statistics.

Pornhub’s statistics also

revealed that, over their entire network of sites, which includes YouPorn and RedTube, they receive about 115 million daily visits, most of which are made from mobile devices. On average, 74 percent of these visits are made by men, and the average time spent on the porn site is 9 minutes and 36 seconds. That’s a lot of affected computers.

Fifth Annual Pancreatic Cancer Walk

On Nov. 16 the Fifth Annual Pancreatic Cancer Vigil and Walk will be put on by the Fargo-Moorhead Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Group in downtown Fargo.

“Event registration and a silent auction begin at 5:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church located at 619 Broadway. At 6:30 p.m., a short program honoring loved ones who have battled pancreatic cancer will be followed by The Purple Walk,” the Fargo-Moorhead Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Group said in a press release.

The event is open to the public and free to attend.

Donations and silent auction proceeds will go toward the Sanford Roger Maris Cancer Center to help fund recently diagnosed F-M patients get into clinical trials.

The proceeds will also go toward funding gas cards for rural patients that have to travel to Fargo to receive treatment.

ed to show how many people have been sexually harassed or assaulted.

CNN reported “French women did something similar by tweeting their experiences of being sexually harassed at work using the hashtag ‘balancetonpor’ or ‘squeal on your pig.’”

It was confirmed by Twitter that #MeToo had been tweeted more than half a million times by Monday.

Blocked traffic signs

“There are several stop signs across Fargo and Moorhead: invisible signs, ones you can hardly see until you’re practically on top of them,” WDAY reported.

Fargo and Moorhead do not have any ordinances regarding stop sign visibility.

Residents are asked to speak up and let the city know that the sign is blocked so that they can go out and make the stop sign visible.

WDAY reported “it’s important to note the city may not catch problem signs without the public telling” them about it.

Because of trees and parked vehicles, signs may not be completely visible until 50 feet away or less.

Next generation internet

Quantum computers are being developed to enhance the speed of computers and the internet.

“It’s not easy to develop technology for a device that hasn’t technically been invented yet, but quantum communications is an attractive field of research because the technology will enable us to send messages that are much more secure,” the BBC reported.

Today’s computers use a bit for information, which has a value of 1 or 0, but quantum systems have a qubit that allows a value to be 1 and 0.

The four quantum computers being developed use light particles, trapped ions, superconducting qubits and nitrogen vacancy centers in diamonds.

Because there are different types of quantum computers being developed, they will need more help to be able to talk to each other.

Student Organization Spotlight | Women’s Activist Organization

NDSU organization strives to be safe and educate Miranda Stambler Features Editor

Your body, your choice.

Being a feminist has been stressful with the amount of hate some seem to have against feminism, but others still strive to educate, fight for equality and be safe. The Women’s Activist Organization (WAO) is a feminist student organization here at NDSU. WAO focuses on educating, creating a safe space for people and striving to improve the community at NDSU. The president of WAO, Olivia Oland, is a junior majoring in criminal justice, psychology and women & gender studies. This is her second year being the president of WAO and was able to answer questions regarding the goal of the organization.

Remember the organization handing out condoms?

WAO strives to educate and that automatically includes safe sex. “We are a Great American Condom Campaign ‘SafeSite’ which means we get sent 500 condoms each semester to hand out on campus and at our meetings. Sex isn’t talked about in North Dakota, let alone sex as pleasure and not as a form of reproducing. We love handing out condoms and educating our peers about having safe and protected sex,” Oland explained.

One of the benefits is seeing peoples reactions to asking, “Hey want a condom? We want you to have protected sex!”

Oland said. There are three different and classic reactions they receive to this personal question: “The first is shuddering — they can’t believe that people would ask them that. The second is a casual laugh — they grab the condom and quickly put it in their pocket. The third, and most common, is people getting excited.

They usually say, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re the group that

President of WAO Olivia Oland Condom Campaign ‘SafeSite.’

hands out condoms!’ We have branded ourselves with that,” Oland said.

Moving on from condoms and safe sex, but still maintaining that goal, “We 100 percent focus on feminist issues,” Oland explained.

People may get confused when hearing about WAO because there is so much they are able to accomplish through their goals, as Oland explains, “Activism is so broad, but we want people to find something that they’re passionate about with goals they can work towards.

We work with on-campus groups like The Body Project and Pride Alliance, both organizations have goals that WAO supports — we also work with groups in the community like Rape and Abuse Crisis Center, the Red River Women’s Clinic and Planned Parenthood.”

One problem that they see in the world today and strive to show is “women, and men, realizing they have a choice,” Oland explained.

“You have control of your body and you can choose if you want to be on birth control, if you want to be having sex, if you want to have an abortion. You have a choice when it comes to what you want to do with your career, what classes you take, who you associate yourself with. And when you do make those choices, you have to understand that maybe other people won’t choose the same thing you choose, but at least they have a choice.”

One goal of the organization is to allow OLIVIA OLAND | PHOTO COURTESY people of NDSU to have a safe place to speak up. “We Almost all officers of 2017-18 at the Fall Involvement Expo (L to R) Olivia Oland, Kimmy Schaible, Alison Van Den Broeke and Jenika are an inclusive organization Rufer. that welcomes all races, to,” Oland shared. being honest.

I feel empowered by other members; they’re so encouraging in everything I do. I also feel like I have accomplished so much since I have joined.

FARGO FASHION

FM Antiques and Vintage Fashion Show

Upcoming free fashion show in Moorhead Center Mall Janet Tumaini

Contributing Writer

Are you looking for some vintage clothing and accessories or in need of Halloween costume ideas?

Well, look no further because FM Antiques and Repurposed Market located in South Fargo will be hosting their first ever Vintage Fashion Show featuring vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories and much more. Not to mention, it is also free for all to enjoy.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the fashion show starting at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Moorhead Center Mall. FM Antiques and Repurposed Market (F.A.R.M) Revolver and one other store yet to be announced will be at the event.

Dee Dee Sonstelie, the co-owner of FM Antiques and Repurposed Market with Rochelle Henrichs, is quite excited for this opportunity to showcase vintage clothing and accessories available for purchase from a wide range of vendors. “Being this is our first show like this we aren’t sure what to expect, but (we’re) hoping all will have a fun time looking and seeing all of the fun items from years past,” Sonstelie said.

The two locations of FM Antiques and Repurposed Market have had other sales and promotions in store with this upcoming show, and they plan on making it a

memorable one for anyone attending.

“This is a different kind of show, but (we’re) hoping to draw a larger crowd and just have some fun with it!”

Sonstelie said. “There’s lots of things to fashion ... you think clothing, shoes etc ... but it also can pull in vintage advertisement ... icons such as Marilyn Monroe etc. ...

We told the vendors the sky’s the limit on fashion ... We are hoping to have lots of fun displays for our event.”

“The Show will show eras from the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s ... maybe even a couple of ‘90s; crazy as it is the ‘90s are already about twenty years old or more,” Sonstelie said.”Lots of fun clothing from many eras will be present, along with vintage jewelry, purses, vintage catalogs ... anything that might say fashion. It will be a fun trip down memory lane for all. Our store will also have sales on many other items inside. We will have some clothing that will be shown in the fashion show from Revolver downtown and hopefully another store as well.”

Halloween is close by, and this is a great opportunity for some ideas, or if you like to hunt for vintage pieces at thrift stores like myself, consider this opportunity to go and see for yourself a wide selection of vintage merchandise from many different vendors based here in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

“With Halloween right around the corner you just

might find that piece you needed for your costume, or you may even just get inspired to find a costume at the show,” Sonstelie said.

Vendors will have booths set up in the hallway with purchasable merchandise, and the items shown in the fashion show will also be available for purchase.

“Most vendors in the hallways etc. will collect money at their tables,” Sonstelie explained. “If someone wants to use a card, we will get them a slip and have it brought into the register at the store ...

Everything is at close range and we will make sure to do our best to get your sales done in a pleasant way.

Prices on items will vary … each vendor will have their own set of pricing ... but usually you can find anything from $1 on up ...

Usually the vendors have pretty fair pricing ... some may even bargain with you.”

So, if you plan on doing some shopping around town or the Moorhead Center Mall next week, be sure to check out the FM Antiques and Repurposed Market Vintage Fashion Show and enjoy a fun and memorable atmosphere featuring fashions of eras past. “Memories of good times keep us all happy and young — it gets your mind on good things and brings you back to a peaceful state,” Sonstelie explained.

FARGO Fudgy Brownies FOODIE

Homemade brownies that conform to your favorite texture

This recipe uses ingredients like a box version, but with a few extras to give it the homemade taste.

Katherine Kessel Contributing Writer

There are about as many flavors of brownies out there as there are people, and everyone seems to have a preference in this form of ultimate indulgence. This recipe is a way to make homemade brownies according to your favorite texture.

Brownies come in forms such as fudgy, “cakey,” frosted and blonde, and can contain everything from nuts and peanut butter to caramel and candy. Some people may even prefer healthier alternatives, filled with dates, honey and dark chocolate. But can you re-

ally go wrong when the food item at hand is in its most basic form, a rich and fudgy square of chocolate? I would argue the negative.

This recipe is for brownies that are chewy, dense, rich and just slightly underbaked to give the maximum fudgy effect. These are similar to the kind that comes from a boxed mix, but instead they are homemade, which is arguably better. Dangerously easy, these brownies are minimally time-consuming and can be whipped up with the aid of no more than a bowl and whisk.

The baking time can vary to obtain the desired texture. If you would like your

brownie to be incredibly soft and fudgy, leave them in the oven for about 20 minutes. If you would prefer a chewier, and less dense bite, a baking time of 25 minutes will be more your style. Also remember that the brownies will firm up as they cool, so staying on the side of underbaked is the best way to ensure you achieve the best brownie possible.

Like most, ingredients stirred into the batter can be customizable. Although this recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark, white and milk chocolate chips as well as nuts and candies are all great mix ins. Provided at the end of this recipe is a variation that uses peanut

butter cups to make a denser and incredibly rich bar for the avid peanut butter consumers out there. Any way you bake it, there is virtually no way to go wrong when it comes to the world of brownies.

Fudgy Brownies Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted 1 tablespoon cooking oil 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup semi-sweet choco-

late chips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking oil spray. Set aside while making batter.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cooking oil and sugar until they are thoroughly combined.

Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla until the batter becomes lighter in color.

To the bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder and salt.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not over-mix the brownies.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth the top. Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, depending on preferred texture. The brownies are done when the center is set to the touch.

Variation - Peanut Butter Cup Brownies:

Prepare the pan and batter as directed in the recipe above, omitting the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Arrange 9 (or more) unwrapped chocolate peanut butter cups in the surface of the batter and press lightly.

Bake as instructed above.

EA Responds to Player Concerns About ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ Beta After beta was released, EA responded to some hiccups in the game via a newsletter

‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ was released in beta form two weeks ago; now, Electronic Arts (EA) is responding to fan concerns about the final version of the game.

Nathan Wetrosky Staff Writer

Two weeks ago, the beta for the new “Star Wars: Battlefront II” Electronic Arts game (coming out Nov. 17) was released to the public.

Followers of the game were glad because they could get a glimpse at what is to come. After playing the beta, like many other players, I had some concerns about a few things. The most talked about problem with the beta was the progression and loot crate systems. Put your minds at ease — I am now going to cast some light onto your “Battlefront”-fe-

vered minds.

In many games nowadays, progression with experience points is a common way to level up a character.

Experience points can be used to show how long you have been playing a game, what equipment your character or characters may have or, in some cases, using experience points as an actual currency like in the “World of Tanks/Warships/ Warplanes” games.

Whatever the case may be, experience point progression is a very important feature in the modern video game community.

That is why after the

“Battlefront II” open-beta players (myself included) were a little upset, with good reason, thinking the beta was a set-in-stone showing of what the released game would look like.

In the beta, the only progression that meant anything was obtaining items and crafting parts from loot crates. The items contained in these crates were random and acted like a slot machine in a casino. Before the beta ended, I earned three of the exact same card. Getting three of the same card meant to me that no matter how long I played the game, there was still a chance I

was going to get something I already was given, and I couldn’t do anything with the extras.

Another reason players were in a bit of an uproar was because you can buy more loot crates with real money. Buying crates with real money defeats the purpose of playing a game. Instead of progressing through a game by playing it, you can skip ahead and just buy your way to the top.

Here comes the light in which I promised to put your minds at ease: last week, EA published a newsletter addressing the concerns that participants of the beta were

having. The most prominent issues they addressed were the progression and loot crate systems.

“As a balance goal, we’re working towards having the most powerful items in the game only earnable via in-game achievements,” the newsletter said.

“If you get a duplicate Star Card in a crate, you will get crafting parts which you can then use to help upgrade the Star Card of your choice.” What this means is that “Star Wars: Battlefront II” will have proper loot and progression systems where completion of challenges will give players the rewards

they deserve and if they get more than one of the same item, they can cash it in for something they did not have before.

These are just a few of the issues that were covered in the newsletter. The good news is that EA is listening to its player base about what they need to change for opening night. They responded in a timely and efficient manner that shows they care about what people think and that they want to improve their game.

Strike Up the Band (and Orchestra) University Band and University Symphony Orchestra perform a variety of pieces at Festival Concert Hall Nathan Wetrosky Staff Writer

Thursday, Oct. 12, the University Band and the University Symphony Orchestra performed at Festival Concert Hall.

The conductors for the University Band were Warren D. Olfert, Jack Rudisell and Matthew Winarski. The conductor for the University Symphony Orchestra was

Tony Sanders.

Both the band and the orchestra did an excellent job at performing the variety of pieces in their inventories. There were two pieces, however, that I liked above the rest.

My favorite from the University Band was their first piece of the night called “The Klaxon” by Henry Fillmore.

“The Klaxon” was originally written for the 1930 Cincinnati Automobile

Show. Henry Fillmore, the composer, had created an instrument constructed of car horns called the Klaxon.

“The Klaxon” is a fun bouncy piece that is meant to capture an audience’s attention.

The woodwinds seemed to be the focus of the composition by keeping a nice flowing melody while in the background. The percussion kept a good beat, as percussion should.

After that opening march, the band and or-

chestra played an array of other music. Then suddenly it was almost the end of the concert. The audience had just finished listening to the University Symphony Orchestra’s last piece, “Hymn to the Fallen” by John Williams, and there was one last piece of music that had gone unheard and unplayed: “Russian Sailor’s Dance” by Reinhold Glière.

The “Russian Sailor’s Dance” is originally from the first Soviet ballet in 1927

called “The Red Poppy.”

This piece stuck out to me because it was one of my favorite works of classical music that I played for my band in high school.

The opening 40 measures are a low brass section’s dream come true. The notes, for the most part, are slow, deliberate and forceful. Slowly over the course of the piece, it speeds up and gets even faster and faster.

Then with a final loud note, played by all the instruments

involved, the “Russian Sailor’s Dance,” ends as quickly as it began.

Playlist: Music to Get You Through the Slump Plenty of tracks to pull you through the mid-semester slump Caleb Laude

Contributing Writer

I do not know about you, but I am in a slump.

For some reason, when mid-semester time rolls around, I want to retreat into my bed and avoid anything resembling work. Whether it is the papers and tests, or the steadily cooling weather, the mid-semester slump is very real, and there is only one way to combat it — by listening to hype music, of course.

This Spotify playlist is designed to draw one out of the mid-semester slump and motivate them to pursue menial academic labor with renewed enthusiasm.

Prince – ‘Let’s Go Crazy’

GRAPHIC BY CALEB LAUDE | THE SPECTRUM

“Let’s Go Crazy” is the first song on the playlist and is the first song off Prince’s timeless album, “Purple Rain.”

“Let’s Go Crazy” is the ultimate party pop song. You can’t let the elevator — or the midterm — bring you down when you are listening to “Let’s Go Crazy.”

If you have never listened

to the album “Purple Rain,” you need to right now. Go on Spotify or whatever, and listen to it. I can’t do the album justice here: just go listen to it now.

tions. If you feel your work piling up, you probably are too.

If Beck is telling you to focus, you really should listen.

for pretty much any occasion or any purpose. “Running in the Night” is off the album “Atlas” and is a good example of the 1980s stylized synth pop delivered by FM84.

FM-84 captures the optimism of 1980s culture and delivers it to your ears with sunny electronic synthwave excitement. If “Running in the Night,” with FM84’s retro mixing and Ollie Wride’s roaring vocals, does not grab you by the throat and heave you from the midsemester slump, music probably can’t help you.

Mostly remembered as the basis for one of Kanye West’s hits, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is a simple dance song that breathes excitement. This is a song that wakes you up.

The repetition of the words harder, better and faster is enough for me to want to work harder, better and faster. This song is pretty direct, and I appreciate that.

FM-84, Ollie Wride – Daft Punk – ‘Harder, ‘Running in the Night’ Better, Faster, StronFM-84 is simply fantastic ger’

Beck – ‘No Distraction’

Beck is always pretty good and “No Distraction” is more of what I have come to expect from him. In the song, Beck tells you that he does not want to say this, but he is sick of all the distrac-

Dino De Laurentiss – ‘Gift of Fury’

Putting a song like “Gift of Fury” in a playlist that is almost all pop may seem like an odd choice. Well — who cares?

I have never watched the 1982 movie “Conan the Barbarian,” and I probably never will. But this soundtrack is awesome. Movie and video game soundtracks can be great for studying, but I find that some can be too bom-

bastic and, ultimately, make me lose focus. “Conan the Barbarian” is commanding enough to motivate a person, but it is not so over the top that it makes you lose focus.

“Gift of Fury” carries a hard, pounding sound with a little heroic flourish that is all wrapped up with a thin 1980s bow. It is worth the listen.

Europe – ‘The Final Countdown’

“The Final Countdown” may be the pinnacle of ’80s cheese, but there is a reason why the song is still played today. For whatever reason “The Final Countdown” can make anything feel like a big deal. I find the song has an ability to stir up buried inspiration like no other.

If anything, “The Final Countdown” will make you feel like time is running out and you need to do your homework as soon as possible.

These songs and many, many others like them make up the Escape the Slump playlist on Spotify, which may be just what you need to care again.

#MeToo: Twitter Explodes with Personal Stories of Assault

The #MeToo movement sparked a conversation about sexual harassment and assault

Cierra Steffensen Staff Writer

Twitter exploded with stories of sexual assault and harassment following the hashtag #MeToo to show support and outrage for the absurd number of women who experience sexual assault and harassment on a regular basis.

Alyssa Milano sparked a new wave of this movement on Sunday, Oct. 15 with a tweet tagging her own profile.

“Suggested by a friend: ‘If all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me Too.’ As a status, we might give people some sense of the magnitude of the problem,” Milano wrote. “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”

This lead to everyday actions of sexual assault to be brought to our attention.

Me too every time you laugh at rape jokes,” Shakthi J began. “Every time you called a woman a slut. Every time you didn’t intervene when a friend took home an extremely drunk woman w/a look in his eyes.”

This tweet sparked a wave of responses in which mostly women express the severity of the problem and explain their own experiences.

“Just know that many of us are struggling to even narrow our history of sexual assault and harassment down to one experience #MeToo,” Abby Honold wrote.

society deals with sexual violence are addressed and questioned. There is no way to express the severity of the problem without looking at the numbers.

By addressing the origin of this problem, we will be much more successful in solving it. Society has created a norm for sexual harassment and assault and by doing so, has buried something that causes an unimaginable amount of people both mental and physical pain.

It is extremely important to be aware of what you say, what you do and how you react. Without awareness, we will never begin to fix the problem. So with all of the #MeToo stories it is time to see that this is a problem for not only a select few, but a normal part of life for many people.

Three World News Stories Crazier than Trump News A gentle reassurance that other crazy things happen too

Erik Jonasson II Opinion Editor

In the news recently, we have seen that President Trump has literally no regard for the underlying truth behind his statements.

The examples vary from the incredibly stupid to the downright horrifying.

This got me thinking.

What are the biggest news stories in other countries currently? What is being featured?

For the United States, it seems like we have a new controversy every day. And with each day it seems to be getting worse. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised at most things. This is helped by our president being the old reliable of bullshit facts and nonsensical statements.

Oh Canada

Although we can give Canada shit for their absolutely legendary politician Rob Ford, may he rest in peace, that’s about it for politicians. Ford’s controversial exploits include hookers, crack and rooting for the CFL.

Going to the Canada Broadcasting Corporation, we can find a neat list of their political issues to watch for in 2017. I can only assume America’s would be a terrifying web of shit-breathing dragons and doom.

Listed, for instance, is the legalization of marijuana, indigenous people’s relationship and, to no short surprise, the U.S.-Canada relationship.

To me, it is amazing that they are even talking about their relationship with natives, unlike here where we name our sports teams after them and complain when they say it’s racist.

Remember kids, it isn’t racist if you wear it on a sports jersey or chant it in a stadium.

And of course, we love to put large leaky pipes through their sacred land against their will, because go America, that’s why.

It is also nice to see one of Canada’s political issues has to deal directly with the United States. Like, our shit storm has reached a level once thought unreachable and has torn through our country and seeped into the neighboring countries. If I was Canada, I might want to build a border wall right about now.

The United Kingdom

Europe has survived a

year from hell thus far. From terrorist attacks and Brexit to Marine Le Pen. Europe’s issues remind us what happens when crazy isn’t just being blow horned on a gross man’s Twitter page, but it is being carried out.

The main concerns facing Europe include terrorism, the economy and immigration as well as the weakening of the European Union. Chin up Europe, everyone has a bad day.

This all pails in comparison of the BBC’s main website page on Oct. Great Britain? The United Kingdom? England?

That is just the life that we must get used to. Until tomorrow though, I just want to pretend that my news alerts will no longer scare me.

How Do Germans Not Own Rap?

Like a Spanish verse in a song, but not If I have to hear “Despacito” twice between campus and Walmart (clearly the two places I visit most), why can’t some I get a single American rap song with a verse in German?

Grant Gloe Staff Writer

I don’t want to generalize the German people, but rather the German language.

Personally, I feel it lends itself well to rap. This is a genre known less for its style and more for its content.

Crime, status and violence are key themes in many songs. So why not capitalize on the angriest language known to man?

Just look at a quick example: my last name.

Despite what Microsoft Word and half of my partners on group projects think, it is not the English word “glow.” “Glow” sounds very happy and hopeful.

You can have a glowing sun or a glowing baby or a glowing personality. Now I’ve got pride in my family and my name, but the image in my head still changes by tossing the “e” in there. It’s more of a “flickering bulb

over a guy doing paperwork in a gray button-up” kinda thing. More of an ember of a cigarette bud in an ashtray.

IT PAYS To Do Your RESEARCH

In Defense of Racists, Free Speech Applies to Them Too Dear Editor-in-Chief, In Monday, October 16th’s edition of the NDSU Spectrum, you say that a letter, sent to the Spectrum, by the KKK is not protected by the first amendment.

While it is certainly The Spectrum’s prerogative to decide what goes into their paper, it’s hard to argue that the KKK falls outside the umbrella of free speech when every court ruling for the past 200 years say that it does. The whole fracas in Charlottesville started from a KKK protest that was being protected by police!

It was only after the protest turned into a riot that it stopped being protected by free speech laws. Are you

suggesting that a letter to a university newspaper is the legal equivalent of a riot?

Censoring the letter from your paper because it is “discriminatory” makes you look like a hypocrite. Since you claim that, “Universities are inclusive environments where anyone can pursue their academic interest-free of discrimination,” you should include everybody.

If you exclude racists, you are no longer an inclusive environment.

If you segregate white supremacists, you are not free of discrimination.

Include these people in your university; let them be heard. What’s the worst that will happen?

You said on Monday that the KKK letter was hate speech and therefore “endangers the well-being of the public.” I don’t know about the rest of the public, but I would rather read the letter myself and then decide how much my well-being is endangered. I think if NDSU students hear these ideas from the horse’s mouth they will see how repugnant racism really is and will choose to reject it, without The Spectrum stepping in to protect us from the hurtful words in a nasty letter.

The Search for the Next U.S. Manager After complete failure, who is up next for the Americans?

Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

The waters surrounding the U.S. after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup are finally starting to calm.

However, not all is calm as U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati has yet to confirm that he will not run for another term, all while most insiders call for his departure.

Yet, the most pressing question that the federation must answer is who will be at the helm when the USMNT take the pitch against Portugal next month.

Here is a list of managers who could find themselves behind the bench on the Iberian Peninsula.

The guy who will be there It would make no sense for anyone other than Tab Ramos to be at the helm next month. The catch here is whether he will carry an interim tag.

The current U-20 coach and U.S. Soccer’s youth technical director is the

next in line within U.S. Soccer. Ramos already has experience with many of the younger Americans that will be looking to make it onto the team in the next five years.

Ramos comes in with some positives. He led the U-20s to a CONCACAF title and got the squad to qualify for the U-20 World Cup this summer. He is also very aware of what U.S. Soccer needs and how the federation works, thanks to having worked there for years.

He is the safe, logical choice, at least in the short term.

The MLS options

Sporting KC have won the most trophies in the U.S. since 2012. Peter Vermes’ smart but simple approach has worked magic.

If there is one thing that the national side is missing currently, it is a system of play. The Americans spent much of their time tinkering with lineups. Part of that is due to the emergence of Christian Pulisic and trying to find the best place to play the Dortmund man.

There is also a lack of a

greater purpose within the team. Those are two things Vermes has established at Sporting KC. However, Vermes may be content where he is.

“It would be a humbling opportunity for sure (to manage the national team).

But with that said, I love my job. I love where I’m at in the club,” Vermes said in an interview with MLS.com last month.

If not Vermes, then Tata Martino would be the next name on the list.

Martino currently leads Atlanta United, who sit fourth in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta will be the first expansion club to reach the playoffs in their first season since Seattle in 2009.

Martino has plenty of international managerial experience in a tough region.

He managed Paraguay from 2007-11 and Argentina from 2014-16.

In Atlanta, he has created a buzzsaw that will attack, attack some more and keep on attacking. Against Chicago, they put in four.

It was six in a blizzard in Minnesota in March. Then

seven goals at home against New England, but the Revs were down to nine men due to two video assistant referee (VAR) red cards.

While the Americans need to figure out their defense, some teams can get away with a brutal attack.

The international names

Perhaps he should have taken over instead of Bruce Arena, but Sam Allardyce is reported to be interested in the job.

If Allardyce can be considered anything, it is a savior for a club going down. In his career, he has brushed off relegation from the Premier League with Bolton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace.

Big Sam also has a perfect record as an international manager. He spent all of 67 days as the England manager, presiding over a 1-0 win over Slovakia.

But, after allegations of malpractice, Allardyce left the post.

Now, as the Americans look to start a complete rebuild, Allardyce will likely not be the man for the job.

Laurent Blanc has also been rumored to be interested in the position. Blanc was formerly the manager of Paris-St. Germain, where he won three Ligue 1 titles.

He brings a style that focuses more on the team than the individual.

However, Blanc does not have a record of creating a team and making them winners. He is more of a big name who needs to push a big team, something the Americans are not right now.

A name that has not been thrown out yet, but is worth consideration, is from another team in France.

Nantes sits fifth in the league and are home to one of the most magical managers in the world — Claudio Ranieri.

Unfortunately, there is no doubt that Ranieri is happy in France, where he is starting to turn the club into the French Leicester.

The Americans are in desperate need of a turnaround, and Ranieri has proved what he can do in the last three years. The choice will likely capture the hearts of American fans who still remember Leicester’s run

to the Premier League title despite 5,000-1 odds.

While it is extremely unlikely that the USMNT will get Ranieri, there is another manager who is creating his own feelgood story, but this time in England.

Little Huddersfield Town earned a promotion to the Premier League for the first time, behind manager David Wagner.

Wagner spent time as an assistant at Dortmund before moving to the head role for the small English side.

At Dortmund, he learned under Jurgen Klopp and the gegenpressing revolution.

He has managed to distill that in Huddersfield, who got off to a flying start this campaign, earning Wagner Manager of the Month in August.

More positives: Wagner is the child of a German mother and American father and earned eight caps with the U.S. He is familiar with the American system and would bring the international flair with him back to the States.

Trying to Knock Off the Warriors New era of superteams take aim at Golden State Cody Tusler Staff Writer

The NBA season is now upon us with a doubleheader opening night starting with the Boston Celtics at the Cleveland Cavaliers. Right off the bat, Kyrie Irving returns to Cleveland. I hope that Irving tears it up. I’m writing this on Tuesday, so we will know the answer by the time it comes out.

I believe that he got the short end of the straw in Cleveland. Yes, he has three straight trips to the finals and won one, but he is the type of guy you build around.

When you’re the caliber of player Irving is, why would you want to be in a situation where you play underneath LeBron James, who basically played the role of player-coach and made all the decisions for Cleveland.

I also feel bad for Isaiah Thomas in this trade. I would have much rather liked him to stay in Boston and have the Celtics build the team around him, especially after what happened this past season with the passing of his sister. It would have meant so much more to him having the city get behind him as he grows as a player.

Overall, I hope that

Boston can play well this season and knock off Cleveland as the favorites in the East.

As usual, the Golden State Warriors will be a, if not the, factor this year. The Warriors have also been in the finals for three straight years and won two out of the three. They look set to repeat this year, and it will take a really good team to knock them off.

I can see the Houston Rockets potentially being that team, but that is if Steph Curry doesn’t break Chris Paul’s ankles and have him breakdancing again. Or the Oklahoma City Thunder

who added two all-stars in Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. We also can’t forget about the San Antonio Spurs, who have the ageless wonders Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, big men Pau Gasol and LaMarcus Aldridge (who just signed an extension to stay with the Spurs), and former Defensive Player of the Year and future league MVP Kawhi Leonard.

Now, I’m a Minnesota Timberwolves “fan.” I say that because I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I’ll still support the hometown team. The trade to get Jimmy Butler and

the contract extension for Andrew Wiggins show me that the Wolves are looking to start winning now, make a name for themselves and build around Karl-Anthony Towns. To get Butler, the Wolves had to send Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn to Chicago. LaVine was coming into his own and is able to score and not be just a flashy dunker. Dunn is only in his second year after coming off the bench behind Ricky Rubio, who has since been traded to Utah, so we never really got to see his potential.

Along with these transactions, the Wolves

also brought in Jeff Teague and Taj Gibson, pushing forwards Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad to come off the bench alongside sixth man Jamal Crawford, who has great ball handling skills and can shoot off the dribble, and hometown boy Tyus Jones coming in for the guards.

The Wolves open their season on the road at the Spurs. Hopefully, they play well and we can see what this team can potentially bring. It’s a long season, but I think they can be a threat sooner rather than later.

Another Top-Ranked Battle Awaits the Bison

Upstart Western Illinois looking to prove themselves against conference’s elite

Easton Stick now holds the record for most consecutive passes without an interception.

Thomas Evanella Staff Writer

With another top-10 road victory under their belts, the No. 2 ranked North Dakota State Bison return to the Fargodome for another clash with one of the FCS’s top teams. The Herd will face off against Western Illinois, ranked No. 12 in this week’s FCS Coaches Poll following consecutive victories over Northern Iowa and Missouri State.

Western Illinois has been able to form continuity under head coach Charlie Fisher and co-offensive coordinator Doug Malone, both in their second seasons.

The Leathernecks have been a dominant team on the road this season, posting a 4-0 record away from home. WIU has improved dramatically across the board, and at 5-1, are one win away from tying their total from 2016.

“It’s pretty remarkable to see how well they’ve played on the road,” head coach Chris Klieman said on Monday. “You have a veteran experienced team like that, you go on the road, it doesn’t bother them.”

The Leathernecks have made a drastic improvement offensively from last year. WIU’s 41.8 points per

game this season is nearly a 13-point improvement in scoring. The emergence of sophomore running back Max Norris has revitalized the Leathernecks rushing attack, currently ranked fourth in the Missouri Valley in yards rushing per game.

Norris has racked up 447

“He’s been a matchup nightmare for everybody because he has the ability to get open and do things with it after the catch,” Klieman commented of Acklin.

The wide receiver posted a career performance in WIU’s lone loss. Against South Dakota, Acklin caught

yards and 4 touchdowns on 75 carries, and his 6.0 yards per carry rank behind only Lance Dunn as the best in the conference among running backs with at least 60 carries.

Senior wide receiver Jaelon Acklin has been a dynamo for WIU and quarterback Sean McGuire.

Acklin’s 46 receptions, 138 yards receiving per game, and eight scores are all tops in the conference. His 828 receiving yards are first in the conference by more than 300 yards.

19 passes for 343 yards and three scores. His domination of the Coyotes earned him a nod as both the Missouri Valley and STATS FCS offensive player of the week.

“He knows where he fits within that offense,” Klieman said. “It’s a really friendly offense for him because they’re able to move him around everywhere.”

McGuire has also turned heads this season, becoming one of the top signal callers in the conference.

“I’m really impressed with McGuire,” Klieman said. “I

think he’s a top quarterback in the FCS. I really appreciate his game.”

The junior has completed 66.9 percent of his passes, third best in the conference, and piled up 1,611 passing yards and 15 touchdowns.

He was named Missouri Valley player of the week following his shredding of UNI. McGuire threw for 334 yards and 3 touchdowns in the victory against the Panthers.

“He’s just making really great decisions on where to go with the football,” Klieman stated. “He’s a competitor. He’s a winner.

He’s making winning plays, and that’s what you see on film.”

McGuire, an unflappable quarterback, will face the Missouri Valley’s stoutest pass defense. NDSU has allowed only 109.8 yards through the air per game and have intercepted 11 passes.

The Bison went until last Saturday’s game against Youngstown State without conceding a passing touchdown.

Under the stewardship of first-year defensive coordinator Tony Grantham, the Leathernecks have made strides in improving their defense as well.

Junior defensive end Khalen Saunders has be-

come one of the conference’s elite pass rushers.

Saunders has tallied 5 1/2 sacks and 3 forced fumbles to lead the Missouri Valley in both categories. His 8

rendered 245.7 yards passing per game and 16 aerial scores so far this season.

Easton Stick will look to take advantage of this weakness. The junior has yet to

tackles for loss this season are fourth in the conference.

Behind Saunders, linebacker Brett Taylor has been a force in stopping the football. The senior captain and three-time Missouri Valley defensive player of the week has made 87 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 1 1/2 sacks on the season. Taylor was named to the Buck Buchanan watch list to begin the season.

Both Justin Fitzpatrick and Tyrin Holloway have intercepted three passes this year to lead the secondary.

“They have a lot of guys returning from last year, led by the linebacker (Taylor). I think Taylor is a great player,” Klieman said.

While WIU’s defense has improved, there are still areas the Bison can exploit.

The Leathernecks have sur-

throw an interception this season, and his play has improved all season long.

NDSU has reason to be excited following their challenging triumph over YSU, but Klieman cautioned against any prognosticating that his side can rest easy following the win. “What any team did the previous Saturday has no bearing on the next Saturday,” the head coach stated. “You can forget about it. It’s a one week battle, and we’ve got our hands full with Western Illinois.”

Against a motivated Leathernecks team, the Bison will need yet another strong performance to keep their perch on top of the conference.

Terrible Fantasy Advice | Week 7 Welcome back Teddy Taylor Schloemer Sports Editor

It has been a long month for me and my fantasy team.

My losing streak is up to four games, games I could have won if I played the right players on my team.

This week, Adrian Peterson was left on the bench while Ty Montgomery and C.J. Anderson stumbled around the gridiron. Last week, it was “duck, duck, goose” who I left on my bench.

It goes on and on. But with how terrible I have been lately, my heart was a little bit lighter on Monday reading football news.

Honestly, I never thought I would say these words again, but Teddy Bridgewater is cleared to practice.

After destroying his knee last preseason, it makes me happy to see his hard work pay off. I hope he takes his time because he deserves to step on to the field when the moment is right.

And for you Packers fans, remember, that a broken collarbone is not the end of the world. Alright, on to the advice that I should actually listen to this time around.

Quarterbacks

For all of the Aaron Rogers owners out there, you will really want to pick up someone else. In which case, the best NFC North backup quarterback to own is Case Keenum. For the die-hard Packers fan, that might be hard to stomach.

But Keenum has been solid for the Vikings, so much so that there is no real rush to try and bring back Sam Bradford. Stashing Brett Hundley is an option, but there is too much unknown

there for now.

Can anyone name a healthy Buffalo Bills receiver? Neither can I, but that is not stopping me from listing Tyrod Taylor here. Tampa Bay allows the most fantasy points to receivers, so surely Taylor can get something going at home against the Bucs. If the Bills can get someone else to complement Charles Clay and a healthy Jordan Matthews, Taylor could become a long-term option.

For the record Alex Smith owners, I kept him on the bench last week when he dipped in production. This week he will be starting as my other option, Jameis Winston, is day-to-day.

Smith still has not thrown an interception yet this year. Seeing as I am giving him the nod, expect a soft matchup against Oakland to end with three picks.

Running backs

At times last Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals looked like they were primed for a Super Bowl run this year, which is not 2012. One of the reasons why was a massive Arizona debut by Adrian Peterson. A pair of touchdowns and 134 yards (52 more than he gained in four games for New Orleans) show there is still life in All-Day. Going against the Rams defense that just gave up 130 yards to Leonard Fournette this week, AP is a viable option once again.

Sorry Matt Breida owners, but Carols Hyde is officially a one-yard monster. Hyde had not one, but two 1-yard touchdowns last week, despite registering just 28 yards. Hyde also out snapped Breida 56-17, so any hope for Breida may now rest in another team trading for Hyde.

One back that has no

worries about a lack of touches is Jordan Howard.

Despite not getting into the end zone, Howard still had 167 yards rushing, given the Bears got overtime last week. Still, he rushed the ball 36 times. John Fox still seems extremely hesitant to let the rookie Mitchell Trubisky let it fly with 54 of the 75 plays the Bears offense ran being running plays. All good news for Howard.

Wide receivers

All go for any Atlanta wide receiver. Atlanta gets New England this week, who have a terrible defense.

Julio Jones has not been into the end zone for a while and is surely due. Taylor Gabriel’s big play ability could be the dagger. Atlanta needs to score early and often, and maybe not blow it this time.

Good news Giants fans, there is at least some life in your team. Better news, Sterling Shepard is likely to return this week. That means there is at least one body for Eli Manning to throw to on the outside, seeing as the wide receivers totaled one fantasy point last week.

Jacksonville has also shown some signs of life this season. Marqise Lee has emerged as a nice complement to Allen Hurns.

Lee notched a solid 83 yards last week against the Rams and gets another solid matchup against the Colts.

He’s a good option for owners of Marvin Jones and DeAndre Hopkins, who are on bye this week.

Tight ends

Let’s be honest, Austin Seferian-Jenkins had a touchdown wrongfully taken away. But even with the 8-point swing from having the score erased and turned into a fumble, it

WIKICOMMONS | PHOTO COURTESY

Julio Jones and the Falcons get a rematch of the Super Bowl against New England this week. was still a solid day for the Jets’ tight end. He now has a touchdown in two straight games and is getting a bunch of red zone targets. Expect more of the same against Miami.

If there was a time to get in on George Kittle, it

is now. The San Francisco rookie has quietly gotten off to a good start to his NFL career. While he only has one score and a tough slate of games upcoming, there is one upside to his status.

C.J. Beathard has taken over as starting quarterback,

and both rookies formed a connection from their time at the University of Iowa.

Just ask last year’s Bison secondary how good the pair is.
