Despite enduring a complete leg break last year, Anderson "The Spider" Silva will be back in the ring against Nick Diaz to prove that his time out hasn't hindered his fighting in the slightest.

Return of 'The Spider,' Anderson Silva Jan. 31 is the date you have all been waiting for: the return of two of the biggest names in MMA. Headlining is Anderson “The Spider” Silva and Nick Diaz. This is a dream fight that many fight fans never thought would happen. These two fighters’ styles clashing in the Brett octagon screams excitement.

Coming off of a complete leg break a little over a year ago, Silva looks like a beast with a newfound hunger for competition. It only took him three months to get back on his feet, and then in about 6 months he was already sparring in the gym. This man at the age of 39 is an athletic anomaly, known as the undisputed greatest fighter of all time for good reason. He held the title for seven years with 14 title defenses and 16 overall wins in the UFC, and an overall MMA record of 33 wins — 20 of which were knockouts — and six losses.

Silva faces new challenges in this upcoming bout: this will be the first southpaw fighter he has faced and someone who taunts during matches as much as Silva himself does, if not more. During his training camp, Silva reported that he had a lot of trouble with his movements against southpaw

sparring partners and has been working diligently on that aspect of his technique. His return has been long awaited and I personally can’t wait to see him in the octagon again.

His opponent is an almost equally fascinating fighter to watch. Nick Diaz is a nasty Law brawler who likes to taunt his opponents during fights while smothering them with barrages of punches.

He is also coming back from a yearand-a-half hiatus after a defeat from Georges St. Pierre. Diaz fights with pure heart and is amazing to watch. He has phenomenal cardio, which allows him to keep the pressure on his opponents even in five-round bouts.

One thing is for sure: when these two get into the cage, it will be one hell of a show that will undoubtedly be looked back on for years. My money is certainly on Silva. Who do you think will take the win? You can catch it Jan. 31 on Pay-Per-View at 10 p.m. Don’t miss this fight of the year!

that trains never came through during my driving-to-work window, which is why I did not identify the warning bells for what they were until I was nearly on top of the tracks.

As soon as I registered that the alarms were coming from outside my car and not from the audiobook playing on my phone, I hit my brakes and slammed to a stop right in front of the rails. It was one of those moments of hyperawareness — I could feel my blood racing in my veins — but while my body was freaking out, my brain was processing everything in an infuriatingly reasonable, unhurried bulleted list: 1. The alarms were going off, but I could not see the train.

2. The train was now blowing its whistle, and I still could not see the train.

3. The safety barriers on either side of the tracks on South Main Street were lowering, but the Fair Road tracks did not seem to have any barriers at all.

4. This lack of safety barriers seemed very dangerous and stupid.

At this point, I felt a THUNK shudder through my car. I had pulled right underneath the safety barrier and it had lowered onto the roof.

So now I was stuck right in front of the train tracks — like, inches away from the rails, definitely close enough for an engine or boxcar to take off the nose of my vehicle — underneath the safety barrier which was really just trying to do its job, with alarm bells going off all around and a train that I still couldn't see bearing down on me.

And in my panicked way, after again consulting that aforementioned, annoyingly unflustered bulleted list, I thought, Screw it — and I gunned it.

I shot across the tracks into the short one-way road beyond and then — because you’ll remember, Statesboro citizens, that there are TWO sets of tracks that cross at this terrifying, terribly laid-out intersection — shot across the other set, not bothering to look because I’d already committed to my course of action. I braked at the stop sign and looked back.

There was the train, crossing South Main from my left, blaring its whistle as a warning and snailing along at about five miles per hour, of absolutely no threat to anyone.

I slumped back in my seat and laughed, relieved and mildly hysterical. I’d been in zero danger, but I was still shaking as I got out of my

car at work and went into the office.

I’ve told this story several times over the last week to plenty of people in Statesboro as a sort of selfdeprecating, “look what the new kid did” joke. Everyone has laughed, but everyone has also expressed just how much they hate that intersection and that they find it very, very dangerous.

Here’s the thing: we live in a small community with a lot of locals who have lived here for years. They know the ins and outs of the town — including when, where and how to expect trains — so things like this intersection probably don't seem that dangerous to them.

But we also live in a college community with a rotating cast of new residents, all of whom have families and friends who come to visit and who have no idea that, every once in a blue moon, a train crosses at a place that doesn’t actually look like a railroad crossing over tracks that don’t actually look like they’re still in service. It’s confusing and poorly marked, and I’m surprised we haven’t had some really serious accidents.

If I hadn’t heard other Statesboro residents agreeing with me, I would write this incident off as a result of my own obliviousness and put the burden on myself to be more cautious. But this seems to concern more than one person, and while I am going to be more watchful, I think we should seriously consider marking that intersection or redeveloping it in a way that makes it safer.

Now that I’m looking back on it, I find my train scare really funny. But it could have turned out very badly, and we should do something about the intersection before someone else’s story has a more tragic ending.

Bring the Hooligans back to Hanner Hold on tight, kids. This is about to get fun.

After Saturday night’s road win at UL Monroe, Georgia Southern (13-4, 6-2) now sits all alone at the top of the Sun Belt men’s basketball standings.

Alex The Eagles started last week in a second-place tie, but thanks to a Thursday win at Texas State and the aforementioned victory over the Warhawks, Southern is now a half game ahead of three teams in a second-place tie at 6-3: Georgia State, UT-Arlington and UL Monroe.

Want even better news? Of the 12 games left in the regular season, eight are at home. Thursday night’s game against Appalachian State is the first of five straight home games. The Eagles play seven of their next eight games in Hanner Fieldhouse.

Having the majority of this crucial stretch of games at home means we, Eagle Nation, have a job to do. The last home game saw a larger crowd than we have seen in a really long time at Hanner. Let’s make capacity crowds the norm. For the next four weeks, the Eagles play at home every Thursday and Saturday night with the exception of Saturday, Feb. 14.

As nice as it was to have a sellout crowd on hand against UL Lafayette, it could have been better. The student section stands for entire football games, so why not basketball? Basketball games are shorter, faster paced and you’re closer to the action. So if you’re sitting in the lower level, stand up. That place can get crazy loud, so let’s see just how loud we can make it.

Several years ago, a group of students known as the Hanner

Hooligans took it upon themselves to make sure the student section was standing, noisy and doing everything in its power to make Hanner a nearly impossible place for opposing teams to win.

Brown These folks showed up as soon as the doors opened, made signs, painted themselves and more or less threw a party in the stands for every home game.

My challenge to you is to bring that level of dedication back. I realize Georgia Southern basketball hasn’t exactly set the world on fire over the last several years, so support has dwindled a bit. But these Eagles have a real shot at doing some big things and deserve that kind of home court advantage.

The Georgia Southern women (4-13, 1-7) need us too. They are fighting to earn a spot in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Only the top eight teams of the 11 in the conference will get to go to New Orleans. The Eagles are coming off a heartbreaker in overtime at Monroe, and really need to pick up a few wins on this homestand. UT Arlington and Georgia State are tied in eighth place at 3-6, so Southern isn’t out of it yet.

This stretch of home games is huge for both the women and men as they hit the regular season’s home stretch. It all starts Thursday night as the women play at 5 p.m. and will be followed by the men at 7:30 p.m.

Get there early and be loud all night.

It’s App State, for crying out loud— shouldn’t be too hard to get up for this one.

Let’s go take care of business in Our House. See you at Hanner, Eagle Nation!w

Microsoft streamlining opens up new world With over 50 million users on its Xbox Live service, it was only natural for Microsoft to have a major announcement for gamers at their Windows 10 media briefing. Head of Xbox at Microsoft, Phil Spencer, Tim announced the vision for streamlining Xbox One and Windows 10 last week.

“Over the last 13 years, Xbox has been focused on creating and expanding great gaming and entertainment experiences on console. We’re incredibly proud of the Xbox One and are fully committed to ensuring it’s the best place to play console games in 2015 and beyond,” said Spencer. “Now, we are also bringing that same focus, passion and commitment to gaming on Windows 10, enhancing the PC games and gaming devices you already love, including the Xbox One. We’ve listened and learned from our past efforts in PC gaming and I am excited about what

the future holds.”

First of all, universal Windows apps will work on the Xbox One. Universal apps include specific cross platform apps like Skype that will work across phones, PCs, tablets and now the Xbox Webb One. They will also include optimized versions of Office apps that will be similar to Google's cloud apps.

Microsoft gave a demonstration of several of their core apps including Outlook, Calendar and more for communication purposes. A new browser, codenamed Project Spartan, was also showed off.

To intertwine the Xbox One experience with Microsoft's newest operating system, Microsoft will be pushing the Xbox One activity feed to PC as well as cross-play. Activity feed of friends found on your Xbox Live account will now be streamlined on your PC running Windows 10. Pushing the ever popular and heavily demanded cross-

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox at Microsoft, announced last week that Microsoft will be streamlining its Xbox One and Windows 10 services in the future to give gamers a broader, more expansive experience. play, Microsoft showed off the game Fable Legends that will offer cross-play between Xbox One and PC players.

One of the biggest announcements and surprises was the addition of Windows 10 having the ability to stream games from your Xbox One. Microsoft demoed how users would be able to boot up games on their Xbox One via their PC or even a tablet. The streaming feature sounded and looked a lot like what PlayStation 4 currently does with phones and tablets via Remote Play.

Although it seems long overdue,

The National Players, a renowned touring group, will be presenting Harper Lee's masterpiece Saturday, Jan. 31.

National Players bring 'Mockingbird' to life One of the many ways the arts is beneficial to a community is that it portrays the past in thought provoking and non-confrontational ways, allowing for true reflection of painful or uncomfortable memories. How many of our opportunities — both as individuals and as a nation — have been shaped by the successes and failures of our great-great-great grandparents? How much of their past is relevant to our present? Since we are unable to change the past, how can we use the successes and the failures of

the past to inform and transform the future?

On Saturday, Jan. 31, the Averitt Center for the Arts is proud to present the classic story To Kill A Mockingbird, performed by the acclaimed National Players and sponsored by The Johnson Firm, PC. Jason King Jones, National Players Artistic Director, points out that To Kill A Mockingbird brings to the stage a critical moment in our nation’s past.

It looks squarely into the face of racial hatred and injustice, and for that

Microsoft seems to be uniting all their devices and services together to give gamers more opportunities and alternatives for gaming away from the TV screen. Also, it seems like the Xbox One will become more than just a gaming console with the introduction of Windows 10.

Users will be able to download the Windows 10 Tech Preview within the week and interact with the early version of the Xbox app. Later during the year Xbox One users can expect Windows 10 to come to Xbox One, enabling the seamless interaction with PC gamers.w

reason alone remains critically relevant to today’s world.

“Yes, this play was written in a time when the use of certain hurtful words were far more commonplace then we want to admit,” said Jones. “Yes, it may be more uncomfortable to hear and see the actions of these characters than it is to imagine them — it’s precisely for this reason that National Players decided to produce the show this year.”

“Encountering some of Harper Lee’s characters may be incredibly

difficult — not because they seem so foreign, but because, 80 years later, they feel so familiar.”

A few tickets remain available for To Kill A Mockingbird. They are priced at $22 for adults and $10 for youth aged 12 and under. Tickets may be purchased at the box office, Tuesday– Friday, noon–5:30 p.m., or online.

Super Bowl host city reeling over sports deals GLENDALE, Arizona — The entire world will be watching Glendale on Sunday as it hosts the Super Bowl and the legions of fans who are shelling out big bucks to see the big game.

What may be not visible amid all the hoopla is a sobering reality about the Super Bowl host city: Glendale is suffering deep financial issues over its troubled effort to become a sports destination.

Glendale bet big on professional sports in the last 15 years, spending millions of dollars on a hockey arena for the Arizona Coyotes and investing heavily in a spring training ballpark for the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. Then the economy tanked, and the hockey team went through bankruptcy, with several different owners in recent years.

The city has found stronger financial footing since then and its bond rating has improved markedly, but not without having to raise taxes, trim 25 percent of the municipal workforce, cut back on paving projects, and reduce hours at municipal swimming pools and libraries. The 9.2 percent sales tax that shoppers and diners pay in Glendale is among the highest in the state.

"Overall, it's a bad move for cities. As much as they say it's going to make the city a destination, it just doesn't."

—Kurt Altman

To fiscal conservatives, Glendale serves as a cautionary tale for suburban cities across the United States that want to throw public money at professional sports projects.

"Overall, it's a bad move for cities," said Kurt Altman, general counsel for the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute, which fought Glendale over its enticements to the hockey team. "As much as they say it's going to make the city a destination, it just doesn't."

Glendale is a city of about 250,000 people in the northwest part of the Phoenix metro area. The location where the Arizona Cardinals' stadium and the Arizona Coyotes' arena were built had been a dusty farm area. The agricultural influence is visible to people driving to games when they pass tractors and farm equipment in nearby fields.

As the Coyotes and Cardinals sought new facilities in the early 2000s and efforts failed to build them in other parts of the Phoenix area, Glendale stepped in. The city helped pay for the Coyotes' arena with $167 million in bonds in 2003, and as the hockey team's finances began to fade during the recession, Glendale went all-in to keep the team in Arizona.

The city dished out $50 million earlier this decade to keep the team and continues to make annual payments toward the arena, but the money it is getting in return has not met expectations.

The football stadium was built in 2006, but Glendale was not on the hook for the costs of the $450 million retractable-roof facility. It was funded primarily with new taxes on car rentals and hotels in the Phoenix area, but that financing hit a snag last year

when a judge ruled that the car rental tax was unconstitutional, leaving a major funding source for the Super Bowl venue in jeopardy. The issue is still being argued in the courts.

Glendale is far from alone. Cities and states nationwide have long struggled with how much public money to spend on stadium projects.

The effort to build a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings became embroiled in controversy over a financial commitment by the state that opponents said was excessive.

The St. Louis Rams are at the center of a debate over whether to spend public money on a new stadium.

Topeka, Kansas, is immersed in a fight over a motorsports track that has drawn comparisons to hockey in Glendale.

As he navigates the financial situation, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers returns to a maxim he has repeated many times in his life: "I'm not living in the past. I'm just paying for it."

In the case of the Super Bowl, he believes the city is paying dearly.

He said Glendale will actually lose a "couple million dollars" by hosting the event. It's spending huge amounts of money on overtime and police and public safety costs for the Super Bowl but not getting much back.w

What's a

Vince Garrett Change came quickly for this local bar in University Plaza as Retrievers announced that they would be closing their doors after 15 years, leaving a final remark to their fans on Facebook and Twitter: “Well Statesboro, we've had a blast with you guys and have truly made some great memories, but it's time for us to say farewell. We have been SOLD to Shenanigans, the newest club in the Plaza!

New management and new ownership have really brought some fresh ideas and big changes, go check them out!”

Following this post, the rush of nos-

n.

?

talgia began as people who met, partied and made memories inside those double doors started with the trips down memory lane. Some rejected the change, but most were pretty excited to see the new look of what is now Shenanigans.

Shenanigans is under new management and is keeping the new features under lock and key, as they have declined to offer any comment on the changes being made to the club. Luckily, a few have seen the changes from the inside as they attended the venue’s preopening on Thursday, Jan. 15.

Student Emily Oberst fully embraces the changes being made, saying, “The

a. High-spirited mischief, prank-

ishness and general tomfoolery b. Statesboro's newest bar and music venue, replacing Retrievers in University Plaza

environment was awesome! It was really fun, upbeat atmosphere.”

Oberst wasn’t a huge fan of Retrievers, but sees herself becoming a regular at Shenanigans.

“I think it was completely different from Retrievers. Retrievers had a lot of people and still had smoke machines and music but Shenanigans was to a whole other level. The second you walked through the doors you knew it was going to be a blast. I haven't stopped thinking about it since we went.”

So it’ll be a while before we put Shenanigans on our list of “greatest bar experiences ever”, but there is still

a lot of time. Retrievers made its mark in the last decade, but Shenanigans is only beginning. It remains to be seen whether you’ll be getting the regular performance from the band MissUsed, but Shenanigans is kicking off their booking lineup with electronic artist and DJ Archnemesis, who is a regular on the music festival circuit. The one thing to be learned from the opening of Club 125 is that the days of your usual bar are gone. Now you need more than drink specials to attract a crowd. These recently opened bars are offering a club experience with upbeat music, mesmerizing lights and clean air for you to create new memories.w

DJ Archnemesis to break in Shenanigans tunity to experience this new place with a new look should really take the excitement to another level.”

Archnemesis, who allowed me to call him by his given name Curt Heiny, has been producing music and DJing live for a while, but he’s been a classically trained musician for even longer. He’s a trained cellist and pianist and has experience with jazz theory, and later learned to play drums, bass and guitar. According to Heiny, all of these skills further empower his musical production skills.

“Being able to have classical and jazz training and apply that knowledge to a live setting gives me the ability to know what songs fit well in a musical sense,” he said.

“It allows me to think ahead when I’m

performing and plan my (DJ) set according to how I want the music to flow.”

Naked violinist sues over arrest in Portland last year PORTLAND, Ore. — A Hillsboro, Oregon, man arrested after playing a violin while naked outside the federal courthouse in Portland last year is suing police.

The Oregonian reports that 25-year-old Matthew T. Mglej claims authorities used excessive force and violated his First Amendment rights. He named the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and Portland Police Bureau as defendants in a lawsuit filed last week, and he's seeking $1.1 million in damages.

Police showed up after receiving complaints about the demonstration, during which the man played violin, meditated and quoted former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They said they arrested him for indecent exposure and carried him to a patrol car when he refused to walk.

Mglej claims jail deputies cut his wrists by jerking on his handcuffs and called him names when he cried from the pain and for his service dog.

He has a hearing on the indecent exposure charge next month.w

Shenanigans brings a new look and a new sound to fit their new name. This week, they will debut that new sound with an artist we’ve seen in Statesboro before. Archnemesis most recently performed at Retrievers in November 2014 and says he felt it was a good show.

The electronic artist is returning to the new Shenanigans as their first live performer since their opening.

According to the DJ, he’s excited to get the opportunity to christen the new venue with his electronic/ hip-hop sound.

“It’s always fun to come into a new venue,” he said. “People are excited not only because of the music, but the oppor-

various musical influences to create his sound. There’s a funk sound along with a hip hop mood entwined with his Southern influences. If you enjoy Southern music infused with electronic ambience, Archnemesis composes a great sound for the dance floor. He also has remixes of great club songs like Ludacris’s “Welcome to Atlanta” or Big Sean’s “Clique.” His music production process is kind of like a great chef: He chooses his ingredients and then he cooks it up on the dance floor right in front of you.

The DJ also spoke to me about the vibe he creates with his music.

Archnemesis, who calls his fans the “Nemesis Army,” wants a full experience that is about more than just gimmicks.

“My goal is to make it a visual and audio experience that is fully encompassing and appeals to the ears and the eyes as opposed to making it about one part of the show,” he said.

Heiny has also performed at festivals. This summer will take him to Austin, Texas at the Euphoria Music Festival and Kingston Downs, Georgia at the Counterpoint Festival.

He says he doesn’t have a preference of venues. He enjoys performing at festivals as much as he enjoys the smaller venues, each for their own reasons.

“I enjoy playing festivals because you’re playing for massive amounts of people, but I also love performing for 500 as much as I do for 5,000,” he said “Either way, you’re there to provide them with good music and a good time and as long as they are having a good time and experiencing the music, I get something out of it.”

Archnemesis will be live on stage Thursday, Jan. 29 at Shenanigans. The show is expected to start at 9 p.m. For more information on Archnemesis, go to Archnemesismusic.com.w

RAINY HALL/special

Arlo Guthrie — folk icon, sort-of draft dodger, convicted litterer and one of the best singer-songwriters of his time — will be performing the fiftieth anniversary rendition of his famous song "Alice's Restaurant" at the Georgia Southern Performing Arts Center this Friday.

Folk icon Arlo Guthrie coming to the PAC When Arlo Guthrie first penned his funny little story-song "Alice's Restaurant," he was a fresh-faced, college-aged young man who had just narrowly missed being drafted into the Vietnam War. And how did he manage to dodge that bullet? He was declared unfit for service on moral grounds because he had a criminal record.

The criminal charge: littering.

And that's where "Alice's Restaurant" comes in (although the titular Alice doesn't actually come into the song at all). In a sprawling eighteen-minute minor epic, Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" describes small-town police politics, literally blind justice, absurd draft restrictions and a zany cast of characters that you literally could not make up. (And Guthrie didn't. True story!)

"We're all really looking forward to this performance because it's going to be like watching a little piece of history,” said Stacie McDaniel, house manager at the PAC. “Arlo Guthrie is such a significant cultural figure of the sixties – he was there at Woodstock, and he was an important icon for that cultural movement. Plus, he's just so funny and entertaining. This show is not just going to be full of great folk music, but also hilarious stories about Arlo and his family and friends, including his father, Woody Guthrie."

Tickets are $26 for patrons, $23 for Georgia Southern Faculty and Staff and $10 for Georgia Southern students.

Tickets may be purchased at the PAC Box Office or online. Online tickets are currently available for purchase.w

NEW BAR COMPLAINT — Shenanigans has just opened recently, and a citizen called police last week to complain about noise.

Responding officers didn’t hear excessive noise, but they spoke

to the bar managers anyway about the complaint.

CRACKDOWN — Police continue to look for underage drinkers.

Recently, officers arrested three men and a woman for underage drinking after responding to GATA’s for reports of a brawl.

IT WAS ALREADY PHYSICAL — A North Main Street man called police when his girlfriend came home and caught him with another woman. The situation became physical, he said (as if it wasn't already).

The irate girlfriend was arrested on battery charges.w

Prep Sports Reporter

Real Estate

The Statesboro Herald, a small daily in southeast Georgia, the home of Georgia Southern University, seeks a sharp, versatile reporter who loves covering high school sports and embraces a full multimedia approach to coverage. And we don’t mean just football and basketball, important as those are in our area.

The ideal candidate will have some experience covering prep sports or be a recent college graduate with a degree in journalism and a working knowledge of and interest in sports. This position not only requires writing, but also page design and copy editing, so we ask either that you be familiar with Adobe InDesign or be quickly trainable. An average of three nights a week, this person will design the sports pages and may also have to file a game or enterprise story the same day. Also, there is some on-camera work for our sports video shows and our live coverage of high school football. You must be a team player; our sports editor relies on this person to help make the section the best it can be in print and online. Salary is commensurate with experience, and we offer full benefits, including health coverage, 401(k) and paid vacation. Statesboro is a small but growing college town that is about 45 minutes from Savannah and an hour from the beach. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be our next prep sports reporter, please send a cover letter, resume and five recent clips to editor Jason Wermers at jwermers@statesboroherald.com.
