This issue’s question:

With midterms finished, how are you feeling about your grades?

This past Saturday, on the eve of Halloween, Americans gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to participate in the “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.” Hosted by Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, the rally kicked off at noon and lasted until 3 p.m. with attendance estimated upwards of 200,000 people. Just over six weeks ago, Stewart announced the rally on his nightly political commentary program, The Daily Show, but in the weeks to follow, information about the rally was sparse. Saturday put that speculation to rest. At noon, an opening performance by The Roots with special

guest John Legend kicked off the afternoon’s festivities. Following the performance, Mythbusters’ Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage took the stage for some “social experimenting” followed by a welcome from the men of the hour, Stewart and Colbert. Festivities continued with a collaborative performance by Yusuf Islam (the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens), Ozzy Osbourne and the O’Jays. The rally also included performances by Jeff Tweedy and Mavis Staples, Tony Bennett and Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, with a special video appearance by T.I. Stewart and Colbert kept up their friendly faux-rivalry with a steady stream of back-and-forth that was part debate, part singalong song and all entertainment. The rally closed with a speech by Stewart and a finale performance by all the artists. “If you want to know why I’m here and what I want from you, I can only assure you this: you have already given it to me,” Stewart said. “Your presence was what I wanted.”

A $17 million federal grant has been awarded to Florida State University and the Denver Veterans Affairs Medical Center in order to establish the Military Suicide Research Consortium, a collaborative effort between civilians and the Department of Defense to conduct research on suicide prevention. Thomas Joiner, Robert O. Lawton distinguished professor of psychology at FSU, will lead the consortium alongside Peter Gutierrez, a clinical/ research psychologist with VA’s Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center see SUICIDE 2

FSU grad student hosts lecture on pearl trade Discussion focuses on gender roles and trade in the United Arab Emirates Turner Cowles Staff Writer

Graduate student Victoria Penziner spoke to a group of students at the Middle East Center on Friday, Oct. 29, as part of the Center’s Brown Bag Lecture series. Penziner is currently studying gender roles in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), and how they influenced the pearl trade. In the Middle East, gender roles played a large part in the pearl trade. The article Penziner is crafting gives a new per-

spective to the previously acknowledged gender roles. “Women were constructed as idle, pining and absent, and men were constructed as workers who were suffering like flying Dutchmen—awaiting the return to shore,” Penziner said. The pearl trade studied in Penziner’s work was mainly in the 19th century, but the pearl trade itself lasted until the 1920s. Men would go out to dive for three to four months during the sum-

mer—the major pearl dive for each year. The men would go out onto the Persian Gulf, dive for pearls and surface with the mollusks. They would then tie themselves to large rocks and allow themselves to sink to the bottom of the gulf. The Persian Gulf has a depth of 300 feet at its deepest point. In comparison, the Gulf of Mexico has a depth of 14,300 feet at its deepest point. The men would also attach a rope to the ship, see PEARL 3

Florida State University alumnus and former gridiron star Nick Maddox is now a candidate for the Leon County Commission, At-Large (Group 2). Maddox, a starter on FSU’s 1999 National Championship football team and former NFL player, is currently running for the position of Leon County Commissioner in a challenge to incumbent Cliff Thaell. Maddox graduated from FSU with dual bachelor’s degrees in business and real estate. He is currently the vice president of development at the Bowden Foundation for Ethical Leadership, and was previously the director for major gift fundraising with FSU’s Seminole Boosters, Inc., as well. “What inspired me to run for this office was my transition in life,” Maddox said. “Getting to where I’m at now, I wanted to be civically involved with my constituency since Tallahassee and Leon County has always been good to me. I thought it was my time to give back to the community and try and represent them the best I can.” Maddox credits his past experiences as the inspiration behind his decision to run for office. “I grew up in a low-income neighborhood, so I got a chance to see the effects of being in a situation where you feel as though your vote doesn’t count or no one really cares,” Maddox said. “I got a chance to understand how to get involved in the political process, make a difference within our neighborhoods and help save the kid that I was. I hope to help make our most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods a better place and, as well, make our com-

TCC student faces child porn charges 20-year-old arrested after TPD, North Florida ICAC Task Force investigation Courtney Rolle Staff Writer

On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 27, at around 8 a.m., Brandon Hagan, 20, was unexpectedly greeted at his apartment on Appleyard Drive by The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations and the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD).

He was arrested on the spot for the possession of child pornography on his personal computer. Hagan is a student at Tallahassee Community College and a pitcher for their baseball team. He is a sophomore, and according to the school’s website, is one of TCC’s 2010 Panhandle Conference All-Academic Honorees. Hagan is being charged with 72 counts of possession of child pornography as a result of an

investigative search conducted by TPD and the North Florida ICAC Task Force. “The task force specifically goes out and looks for people possessing or distributing child pornography,” TPD Supervisor of the Special Victims Unit Sgt. Lawrence Revell explained. “We locate those, and then go through the legal process of getting that information, and once we have it, we get a search warrant.”

The police department traced the child pornographic video files to Hagan’s c o m p u t e r. Brandon He was Hagan taken into custody with bail set at $10,000. Revell also stated that not much can be said about the standings of Hagan, as most specifics on the case must remain

private information. Revell does, however, extend great sympathy and concern to one party in this case: its victims. “Most people don’t realize how serious this is, because you’re dealing with a child victim,” Revell said. “In each of these pictures and each of these videos, there’s a victim. This is not a willing adult. The child is being exploited. Most people don’t realize how prevalent this is.”

munity a better place.” Maddox is involved with the Get out to Vote Tallahassee campaign, aimed at rallying citizens and youth to vote. Get out to Vote Tallahassee is similar to the Vote Coalition organization that aided in rallying voters to the polls during the 2008 presidential election. The organization worked to help educate students on the various candidates and measures on the ballot in the upcoming election. It also helped direct students to their nearby voting precinct. Get out to Vote Tallahassee also worked with FSU’s Black Student Union, NAACP student chapter, in addition to other organizations on FSU campus, and is scheduled to hold a voting rally on the steps of the Old Capitol Building on Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. “Get out to Vote Tallahassee is an idea that has unified the Tallahassee community,” Lead Organizer for Get out to Vote Tallahassee Reamonn Soto said. “We’ve organized with FSU, TCC and FAMU in an effort to register students to vote, and getting students to sign pledge cards pledging to vote.” Encouraging students and individuals to exercise their rights and vote is something Maddox believes is vital. “Oftentimes, we may not fully understand how important our vote is and what it actually means to our democratic system,” Maddox said. “However, our vote is a very important thing.” For more information on Nick Maddox’s campaign for Leon County Commission, At-Large (Group 2), visit www. nickmaddox2010. com.

University recognized as having an expansive culture of engagement Josh Levin

Contributing Writer Florida State University recently received the

highest honor that the Florida Campus Compact gives out, the “Most Engaged Florida Campus of the Year” award.

Florida State beat out about 50 other institutions of higher education in the state to earn the award.

The Florida Campus Compact is a group dedicated to the promotion of community service, service learning and com-

munity-based research, among other causes. “This award is a huge

Although suicide in the military is on an upward trend, Joiner said relatively little research has been conducted on the issue. “Soldiers see a lot of violence, they see death, they see the people who are closest to them in the world get killed, and they themselves are often seriously injured,” Joiner said. “That’s part of it, but that’s true of all of them, so why some and not others?” Gutierrez explained why this research is im-

portant for developing a means to assess those at high risk for suicide. “Assessing those at risk for suicide has been the focus of extensive research in the civilian sector,” Gutierrez said. “However, very little is currently known about how relevant existing tools are when applied to the military. This consortium will allow us to determine how best to screen and assess personnel, develop effective interventions and ultimately to reduce suicides.”

One key component of this consortium will be to develop an integrated digital library of suicide research. “Officials want to have a fast and accurate way of searching for the resources that will allow them to make informed decisions,” said FSU School of Library and Information Sciences Professor Greg Riccardi. “We will be creating a warehouse of all available research information relevant to suicidal behavior and a search system that will al-

low people to pose questions about specific areas of interest and to receive ranked lists of relevant information resources. The system will be continually updated as new information becomes available.” FSU student Ali Levin, a psychology major, said she appreciates the efforts made in the creation of the consortium. “I think this could lead to some great things,” said Levin. “I’m really glad FSU is so involved in the process.”

SUICIDE from 1 at the Denver VA Medical Center. Both parties will be provided $8.5 million in initial funding throughout the coming three years. “These suicides have deeply affected the military leadership, and they are desperate to do something about it,” Joiner said. “For many in the military, they never knew the misery of suicide, and now they do. They are agonizing over this. They say it hurts every bit as much as losing someone in combat, maybe more.”

AWARD from 2 honor for us because it really shows all the work we’ve been able to accomplish,” Coordinator of Marketing for the Center for Leadership and Civic Education at FSU Jennifer Dascomb said. Still, Dascomb noted that the work that went into getting this honor was across FSU as a whole, and not entirely

based on the efforts of the center, which is dedicated to expanding community engagement and leadership on campus. According to the Florida Campus Compact, FSU is fortunate to have such a center. “Our goal would be for all campuses to have a center like Florida State’s,” Executive Director for the

Florida Campus Compact DeeDee Rasmussen said. “Higher education is not just to prepare people for a career, but also to be engaged citizens.” FSU is also taking measures to ensure that this is a goal for the University campus-wide. One example of the commitment is the Raa Middle School/ Florida State University

What started as an after school program expanded to a before, during, and after school program incorporating a

The men also had to deal with illness; Penziner said that many suffered from “skin diseases, eye diseases, sinus diseases and perforated eardrums.” “We don’t really know how men interacted with each other,” Penziner said. “For most authors, the life onboard is reduced to simply a description of their sleeping habits, their eating

habits—one person put it that it’s bodily functions and work.” Women were more-orless restricted to land— the pearl boats were a men-only environment. “Women just fall out of the pearl narrative, as though keeping domestic life and society running was nothing, and not at all important,” Penziner said. Penziner compared the pearl trade in the Persian Gulf to that of the Japanese pearl trade. The pearl trade in Japan, and Mallorca, Spain, pro-

duced cultured saltwater pearls. The cultured saltwater pearls are created by taking a piece of “mother-of-pearl” and inserting it into a mollusk, which is then placed into salt water and “grown.” CJ Canton, an FSU student who has previously traveled to the Middle East, felt that the lecture was very informative. He said that the gender roles described by Penziner “pretty much lined up with what you would see in a traditional conservative Arab village in that area of the world.”

Although the Florida branch of the Campus Compact began with help from FSU staff members, this year is the first time FSU wins the award. Previous winners include Rollins College, the Uni-

versity of Central Florida and Miami-Dade College. “FSU set the standard for engagement and helped Campus Compact get off the ground in Florida,” Rasmussen said, explaining further that a school like Rollins would have an easier time demonstrating a campus-wide culture involvement necessary to merit the award.

While underwater, the men would scrape the bottom of the seafloor and put the mollusk shells in a basket. Holding their breath was not the only problem the divers faced; they had to face other, more natural dangers, such as jellyfish, lionfish and sharks. Lionfish are fish that lie near the bottom of the gulf

New card offers student discounts

FSU senior invents product aimed at helping students save Michael Sampson Contributing Writer

Florida State University senior Jude Paul, a business management major, is the inventor of a product called Tally Cardz, a product designed to put money back into students’ pockets. Tally Cardz is a discount card that can be used at over 25 businesses located in Tallahassee. The card offers exclusive discounts for students at select businesses around Tallahassee and gives students the opportunity to save money at several popular locations. Some businesses that ac-

cept the discount cards include select clothing stores, Guthrie’s, Chubby’s, Campus DVD, City Hyundai of Tallahassee and Capital City Foods, to name a few. Paul came up with this idea by asking students their opinions on their favorite Tallahassee businesses they liked to frequent. “It all started with a survey,” Paul said. “I asked students how many times they’ve been to certain locations and I asked them the reasons why they’ve been there.” Through that survey, Paul was able to conclude which select businesses and restaurants students

NEWSBRIEFS World Ivory Coast holds first election since war in 2002 ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP)—Eight years after civil war tore the world’s top cocoa producer in two, Ivory Coast finally held a long-awaited presidential ballot Sunday that millions of people here are praying will truly reunite the country and restore desperately needed stability. But the West African nation is at a pivotal crossroads: Many also fear the poll could herald a new era of unrest if political rivals, powerful militias or still-armed rebels don’t accept the outcome. Though voting was peaceful, ballot counting could prove highly contentious.

Angry, machete-wielding youth backing both the ruling and opposition parties have a history of taking violently to the streets here when political fortunes don’t go their way. Some residents already have been stocking up on food and fuel, fearing riots or street clashes could break out. On the eve of the ballot, e x - r e b e l - l e a d e r- p r i m e minister Guillaume Soro called on all sides to accept the outcome. Preliminary results are expected by Wednesday, or earlier. The 9,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force, which prominently deployed several armored personnel carriers Sunday in Abidjan, will begin helping transport ballot records from 10,000 polling stations after polls close.

preferred the most. “A majority of the times [students didn’t go more to select businesses] was because the prices were too high,” Paul said. “It wasn’t because they didn’t like the business, but simply the students couldn’t afford it.” After examining the reasons why students frequently visited some businesses and didn’t visit others, Paul went to each establishment with a proposal letter and asked them for their business. That was when Tally Cardz came to life. Tally Cardz isn’t just for FSU students. Tally Cardz is aimed at help-

Thousands of people lined the streets bundled in blankets to see the Marching 100 lead the parade. Other entries included the FAMU DRS Band, East Gadsden High School JROTC, Tampa Bay Tech Marching Titans and Richardson Middle School from Columbia County. Later in the day, FAMU fans filled Bragg Memorial Stadium to full capacity. The crowd was still until the first touchdown, which pumped up the atmosphere.

Contraception could be free under health care law WASHINGTON (AP)— Fifty years after the pill, another birth control revolution may be on the horizon: free contraception for women in the U.S., thanks to the new health care law.

Indie rock singer set to perform with Shearwater at The Engine Room on Nov. 3 Rebekah Suwak Contributing Writer

“It has been so long since I have played in Florida,” indie rock singer-songwriter Damien Jurado said. “I can’t wait to play in Tallahassee; it’s long overdue.” Tallahassee will welcome the former artistturned-musician along with Shearwater at the Engine Room on Nov. 3 at 9 p.m. Jurado’s style features story-based elements of folk displaying his bond with people and their lives. “Movies, particularly old movies, inspire the style of my music,” Jurado said. “I also meet people all the time who tell me their stories, which allow me to write from their pain and experiences.” Heart-wrenching songs such as “Kansas City” and “Rachel & Cali” showcase Jurado’s connection with listeners, while the more heartfelt and upbeat songs such as “Wallingford” and “Big Deal” bring out the catchier, move-your-feet side to his music. “It is easy to write the songs dealing with the pain and sadness of humanity,” Jurado said. “I am a happy and content person, so I can remove myself from the stories and dive into these people’s lives through my music.”

And, besides, the eponymous diaries were genuinely pretty secretive: The film, set in 19th-century Yorkshire, is based on the encoded diary entries of Anne Lister, a “single woman” who is actually (secretly, one might say) in a relationship with another woman.

Epic adventure, acidic wit in ‘Fable III’ FSView & Florida Flambeau Wire Report (AP)—Peter Molyneux has long been one of the more ambitious developers in the video-game industry. His first big hit, 1989’s Populous, let you play God—and in the years since, his games have gotten only slightly less grandiose. Over the last decade, Molyneux and his Lionhead Studios have been creating a sort of alter-

nate history of his homeland, England. When we were introduced to Molyneux’s Albion in 2004’s Fable, it was pretty much the same quasi-medieval milieu we’ve seen in a thousand role-playing games. Fable II, from 2008, moved the calendar forward about 400 years, boosting the importance of science and trade in Albion’s growth. In Fable III (Microsoft, for the Xbox 360, $59.99), the Industrial Revolution is in full swing, and

Albion’s capital, Bowerstone, is degenerating into a squalid, Dickensian cesspool of poverty and corruption. The villain largely responsible is the ruthless King Logan—who, it turns out, is your brother. When you express misgivings about some on his more draconian policies, he boots you out of the castle. Once your character, who can be either male or female, is an outcast, the goal is nothing less than revolution. To gain

the support of the people, you need to prove your bravery by completing a series of quests. Some are standard fare—enter a dungeon and kill all the monsters. Others are goofy, like rounding up poultry while dressed in a chicken suit. And some, like a sublime quest in which you become a pawn in a tabletop roleplaying game conducted by three mages, straddle that fine line between clever and stupid. Humor plays a big role

here, and your enjoyment of Fable III will depend on your taste for Monty Pythonesque absurdity. Two brilliant U.K. comedians, John Cleese and Stephen Fry, play substantial roles, and even the most serious events are laced with an acidic wit. And Fable III doesn’t end with your triumph over Logan. Indeed, it shifts gears once you take the throne, breaking see epic 8

Roundtable: highway getaways

For Florida State students, simply getting away can be a relaxing reprieve from the hustle and bustle that goes on between FSU’s campus and the workload that awaits at one’s dorm or apartment at the end of the day. Making a short weekend trip to locales within proximity to Tallahassee may just be the breath of fresh air students are searching for. Our Arts & Life staff shares its top picks for exciting weekend road trips.

Clearwater Deprived of the beach or anything remotely similar, living in Tallahassee can be quite unbearable in the hot months. Even before the highly anticipated temperature drop, the remnants of summer lay upon us as we prepare for the biting cold. Without a breezy coast and choppy waves, where are we supposed to milk the last of the heat? Just five hours southeast, and 30 minutes from downtown Tampa, lays the sleepy beach town of Clearwater. Known for its crystal clear water, it has been voted the best beach in Florida by the Travel Channel, definitely living up to its name. Also loved for its seemingly manufactured powder-

grained sand, the paradise makes for a great day-or-two escape from hilly roads, dry heat and psychology textbooks. For filling empty stomachs, locals recommend Frenchy’s, a beach classic. Their fresh grouper sandwiches and fried Oreos for dessert are not to be overlooked. For collegelike fun, a number of dive bars populate the beachside Mandalay Street, including an appropriately themed spot called Shipwreck. Once you’re all beached out, driving back to I-75 will leave you with a lasting look of palms and beautiful ocean while crossing the Clearwater Bridge. —Jessica Militare, Staff Writer

New Orleans A straight shot west down I-10 sits New Orleans, waiting to be explored. Leave with plenty of time to enjoy the nightlife in the French Quarter and on Bourbon Street. Live music can be heard on almost every corner, and the restaurants are fantastic—in some cases, world famous. If you can’t afford French Quarter hotel rates, a reasonable place to stay is in Mandeville, north of downtown, across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (the longest bridge in the world); it’s a fun way to come in and out of town. After a long, fun-filled night, be sure to hit up Café do Monde for breakfast. The menu is simple: beig-

nets and café au laits. The former is a sugar-covered French pastry; the latter is coffee mixed with chicory. The café sits a few steps away from the famous St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square, two must-sees. On the trip back, take the smaller coastal highway from the start to the end of Mississippi. The beaches are beautiful and—contrary to popular belief—haven’t been completely annihilated by oil. The beach towns that dot the highway are also charming. You’ll end up back on the I-10 right as you hit the Alabama border. —Ryan Rabac, Staff Writer

Savannah When thinking about taking a fun, spontaneous getaway from Tallahassee, consider Savannah, Ga. With an eclectic vibe and a flourishing art scene paired with a charming southern landscape, one can experience something genuinely different in this city. Make sure to have your camera handy when walking through the many historic points of interest, such as homes from the Antebellum, with the most notable example being the former home of Jim Williams, which was used as the location of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. While on the subject of famous locations, make

sure to visit the area where portions of the movie Forrest Gump was filmed, which is located in Chippewa Square. You won’t find the actual bench, however, because it has since been relocated to a museum in town. As for nightlife, Savannah has its share of pubs, karaoke bars and restaurants. For the over-21 crowd, Savannah also has an open container law in the Historic District, which can make for an enjoyable night out on River Street overlooking the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. —Nicki Karimipour, Assistant Arts & Life Editor

Atlanta Atlanta—the heart of the South, the capital of Georgia and the state’s most populous city—is a haven for North Floridians looking for the big city life. Like most big cities, Atlanta actually has stuff to do there. This isn’t to talk down our beloved campus; the school brings a great deal of entertainment, but outside of the school, Tallahassee can get very familiar very fast. I typically make the five-hour drive to Atlanta to see a band that might not fit Tallahassee’s demographic (or so their tour manager thinks), but once I’m there, there’s always much to do. On the outskirts of Emory University is the beautiful Lull-

water park (owned by the University), with its abundance of Georgia plant and animal life. Atlanta is home to the world’s largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, which is just as spectacular as it sounds, with 500 different specimens and whale sharks (yes, whale sharks). The High Museum of Art in Atlanta is also currently housing an exhibit of Salvador Dali’s late-period work, for the more highbrow visitor. So, for South Floridians who miss Miami and out-of-staters who just generally miss the ease of traveling Florida does not allow, Atlanta is the place to go. —Eric Sarrantonio, Staff Writer

Orlando My ideal weekend road trip is always to Orlando, and typically consists of sampling its many diverse attractions it has to offer. Imagine driving an easy four hours to Orlando on a Thursday after classes, checking into the Walt Disney World Resort, and then going to the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure for some swashbuckling fun and food before making your way to the hotel’s hot tub and pool. Wake up early the next morning and pay a visit to Islands of Adventure to experience the brand-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and, of course, to see your favorite superheroes such as the Hulk and SpiderMan. At night, try dinner

at Café Tu Tu Tango, where live artists paint while you’re having dinner and belly dancers roam the restaurant. On Saturday, it’s Wet ‘n Wild time, so make sure to pack your sunscreen. As the sun begins to set, go beat your friends at mini golf in Pirate’s Cove. Have dinner at the delicious (and, with all entrees under 475 calories, healthy) Seasons 52, and then go to City Walk at Universal for some clubbing. Sleep in on Sunday and stop by the Prime Outlets for some bargain shopping, and then head back to Tally. Now that’s what I call a weekend road trip. —Grace Norberg, Senior Staff Writer

Biram—Friday, Nov. 5, doors 9 p.m. at The Engine Room. Admission: $12 in advance, $15 day of Formed in Chapel Hill, N.C., Southern Culture on the Skids consists of Rick Miller (vocals, guitar), Dave Hartman (percussion) and Mary Huff (vocals, bass guitar). Since coming together as a band in 1983, the garage/surf/rockabilly trio, also known as SCOTS, has released 12 albums, including their most recent release, The Kudzu Ranch, a 10-track album featuring more of their upbeat, good-time tunes, along with some covers. Over the years, the band has exposed their music to mainstream audiences, making appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as Late Night with Conan O’Brien, while also lending their songs to films such as 2001’s Super Troopers and 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Store. Admission: $20 in advance While enrolled at FSU, members of Creed performed at a local bar one night and impressed the bar’s owner so much that he became the band’s manager and funded their debut album, My Own Prison, in 1997. After being discovered, Creed became one of the most commercially successful, chart-toping rock bands during the late ’90s and early 2000s, having sold over 40 million records worldwide, releasing three multi-platinum albums and winning a Grammy Award for “Best Rock Song” in 2001. Following the band’s temporary break-up in 2004, lead singer Scott Stapp went on to release his debut solo album, The Great Divide, in 2005, which went on to go doubleplatinum, while the other members formed another band, Alter Bridge, on the side. In 2009, the band announced they would reunite and later released a new album, Full Circle, in October of last year, but also stated that Alter Bridge would stay together. In 2010, Stapp announced that he would complete a solo acoustic tour, in which he would be “stripping down all the Creed hits, as well as [his] solo material, in a manner that fans have never heard before but have long been screaming for.” The tour began on

Sept. 28 and will run through Nov. 20, before Creed reconvenes in 2011 to work on their fifth studio album. Blond Fuzz with Black Cloud and the Po p h e a d s — S u n d a y, Nov. 7, doors 9 p.m. at The Engine Room. Admission: $5 Formerly known as Stonefox, Blond Fuzz is a psychedelic rock trio

consisting of Jordy Asher (lead vocals, octave pedal, guitar, bass), Dave Barnard (lead guitar) and Jeff Rose (drums). Hailing from Boca Raton, the band formed in 2007 and self-released, wrote, recorded and mixed all the songs on their debut LP, Dead in the Sun, as well as on their sophomore album, Back on the Wire, under the Stonefox moniker. After a fourth member

left the band, the trio discovered that other bands were called Stonefox and decided it was time for a change. Inspired by rock legends such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, the

band combines these sounds and formulates them into a mix between gritty rock and blues— a combination that has helped Blond Fuzz become local favorites in South Florida.

jurado from 5 Juradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music has progressed over the years, marking an emergence from humble beginnings, including guitar lessons at 20, advice from his roommate and homemade tapes to setting off a multiple country tour in 2010. Jurado has been recording music since 1995 and was previously recording vocals with Eric Fisher and Jenna Conrad before releasing his ninth album, Saint Bartlett, this May with solo vocal tracks. His producer, Richard Swift, further fleshes out the sound from the songs Jurado writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I usually bring him a bunch of songs I have written,â&#x20AC;? Jurado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really helps me find what

works best for the sound I am trying to create.â&#x20AC;? Juradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Indiana label, Secretly Canadian, hopes to establish a fresh era in maintaining the diverse and ethereal sound found within his music. Tallahassee is the first Florida stop on Juradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive 2010 tour, which includes later dates in London and Ireland, as well. While the Seattle native is not anticipating the Sunshine Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humidity, he nevertheless expresses excitement to revisit the college town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life on the road is pretty difficult and I am always working,â&#x20AC;?

Seminoles’ five-game win streak ends in painful fashion at N.C. State

Brett Jula Sports Editor

Same weekend, same record, same scenario, same result. As I sat there numbed by Christian Ponder’s costly fumble just four yards shy of putting Florida State in the driver’s seat of the Atlantic Coast Conference, I flashed back to the Seminoles’ loss to Georgia Tech in 2008. There was FSU, sitting at 6-1, ranked in the polls, on the road against a dangerous conference opponent in a position to take control of the ACC Atlantic Division on Halloween weekend. After battling for four quarters, the ’Noles were seconds away from earning a huge come-from-behind win, only to see Marcus Sims fumble on his way into the end zone, propelling Georgia Tech to a 31-28 win. Sound familiar? The similarities between the two games are scary. Given we just celebrated Halloween, “scary” is a perfect term to describe the parallels between the two games. While Thursday’s game was déjà vu in regards to that hurtful loss two years ago, it continued a trend Florida State has developed of giving fans reason for excitement, only to dash that excitement in the most brutal of ways. In my six years as a Florida State student, I’ve taken my share of stomach-punches from the Seminoles. In 2005, it was Drew Weatherford’s infamous trip down at the goal line against—coincidentally—N.C. State that knocked the ’Noles out of the top-10 and started a three-game losing streak. Fast-forward to Miami 2007, when two Xavier Lee turnovers in the final three minutes led to a 37-29 Hurricane victory. Not enough for you? How about 2008 Wake Forest, when FSU had seven turnovers and lost 12-3. Or maybe the dropped pass by Jarmon Fortson in the end zone on the game’s final play against Miami last year tickles your fancy? The list goes on and on, but there was a sense that under Jimbo Fisher, we wouldn’t see these hurtful losses anymore; that this team would find a way to beat their opponents in the final minutes, rather than beat themselves. I’m confident under Fisher’s watch this will eventually happen, but I guess I spoke too soon. Since I’m still in Halloween mode, you know what Thursday’s see dejavu 11

Christian Ponder lost a fumble inside the N.C. State 5-yardline in the final seconds, as the Wolfpack (6-2, 3-1 ACC) held on for a heart-stopping 28-24 win at Carter-Finley Stadium. The win puts N.C. State atop the ACC’s Atlantic Division and

in control of their own destiny to play in Dec. 4’s ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. It also ended a three-game losing streak to Florida State and made the Wolfpack bowl eligible. “Whether you win or lost this one, you’re still in good

position,” FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “We’re all tied with one loss, we’ve got three conference games left and we’ve got to go play a North Carolina team [next week]. You can’t let N.C. State beat you twice. It’s disappointing and we’ve got to

fix these problems.” In a series where several games have been decided late in the fourth quarter over the last decade, Thursday proved to be no different, but the first half told a different and happier see crying 12

Volleyball drops two Seminoles fall to conference foes Virginia Tech, Virginia over the weekend Scott Crumbly and Nick Sellers Staff Writer, Assistant Sports Editor

Less than a week after their dramatic five-set victory against Duke, the 25th-ranked Seminoles could not pull off another come-from-behind win against the Hokies. Florida State dropped the first two sets of the match before storming back to force a decisive fifth set. FSU was very close to pulling out the victory in the final set, but eventually fell 15-13 to give them their fifth conference loss of the year. The ’Noles received a boost with the return of junior outside hitter Visjna Djurdjevic, who posted 16 kills and 18 digs against the Hokies. Justine Records came up huge for Virginia Tech, registering 26 kills and 20 digs on the night. Cara Baarendse also chipped in with 18 kills of her own for the home team. Overall, Virginia Tech had an impressive .324 hitting percentage for the match, while the Seminoles were only able to put up a .181 percentage. Although the ’Noles

got a boost from the return of Djurdjevic, they were still playing without one of their leaders in outside hitter Rachel Morgan. Morgan was a key component in FSU’s Sept. 26 win over the Hokies, when she posted a .588 hitting percentage with 11 kills. Patricia Figueiredo had 24 assists for FSU in the loss, and middle blocker Lauren Young had seven kills. Head coach Chris Poole said after the game that his team made crucial mistakes down the stretch, but also gave credit to the Hokies for their play at home. “Credit Virginia Tech for playing really hard and coming back in the second and fifth sets to get the win,” Poole said. The ’Noles struggled offensively for most of the match, but Virginia Tech made it hard for FSU to get easy points by blocking them 14 times on the night. Florida State was only able to block the Hokies six times. On Sunday, the Seminoles dropped their second match of the weekend to the Virginia Cavaliers in Charlottesville,Va., falling 3-2.

The match was a backand-forth affair, seeing the Cavaliers take the first two sets, then, like they did against the Hokies on Friday, the Seminoles fought off defeat for two more sets before being falling in the fifth and final set, 16-14. The match had 17 ties and five lead changes. The Seminoles were again led on the attack by Djurdjevic, who had 20 kills. Senior outside hitter Stephanie Neville added 17 kills of her own, and sophomore outside hitter Fatma Yildirim had 12 kills. Sophomore setter Duygu Duzceler had 31 assists for the Seminoles, and Figueiredo had 24 for the secondstraight game. Defensively, the Seminoles were led by senior defensive specialist Jenna Romanelli, who had 27 digs, Djurdjevic who had 22 and Yildrim, who had 15. As a team, the ’Noles had 13 total team block to Virginia’s five. Virginia was led on offense by Simone Asque, who had 20 kills Jessica O’Shoney who finished with 14. On defense Emily Rottman and Beth Wildermuth had 19 digs. see forges 11

FSU splits pair ’Noles now turn attention toward ACC tournament Eric Zerkel Staff Writer

Entering the weekend atop the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, Florida State controlled its destiny. After splitting two games against top-15 opponents in Maryland and Boston College, the ’Noles will need a little help to repeat as regular season ACC champions. Eighth-ranked Florida State (13-4-1, 7-2-1 ACC)

dropped its first game of the weekend against third ranked-Maryland (14-21, 6-2-1 ACC) 2-1 only to rebound and top 11thranked Boston College (12-5-1, 5-5 ACC) 1-0 giving the Seminoles a slim chance to repeat. In the first half of their game against Maryland, neither team could find an edge, with both teams see soccer 11

Twice as nice Men’s and women’s cross-country teams each claim ACC championships FSVIEW & FLORIDA FLAMBEAU WIRE REPORT BOSTON, Mass.—Both Florida State men’s and women’s cross country teams ran away with a league title Saturday morning at the 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass. The women -- who earned their remarkable fourth-straight ACC crown -- posted a team score of 52, which was 23 points ahead of second-place Virginia. The men’s 43-point effort was 38 points in front of second-place NC State and was enough to give the Seminoles the firstever men’s conference championship in school history.

Rookie Jakub Zivec also garnered ACC Freshman of the Year honors, marking the second year in a row in which a Seminole earned that award. “We have been second and third a whole bunch over the years,” men’s coach Bob Braman said. “We have been in the hunt most of the last 10 years and it is just so exciting for these guys that we were able to break through this year. We have been so close and I just have never felt better. I am not surprised we won but I am surprised at how much we won by. “We hit an emotional high and just rode that to the end.” Two seniors guided the men’s team as Matt Leeder finished the race

in third place with a time of 23:42.2. Fellow veteran Ciaran O’Lionaird was not far off that pace with a fourth-place finish on a time of 23:43.6. A trio of Seminoles next crossed the finish line a few seconds later as Zivec, David Forrester and Wes Rickman, who was last year’s ACC Freshman of the Year, all crossed the mark for 11th, 12th, and 13th place finishes, respectively. Zivec registered a time of 24:07.6, Forrester finished in 24:07.9 and Rickman completed the 8k in 24:09.5. Alex Smyth came in 16th with a time of 24:12.9 while Mike Fout came in 22nd on a run of 24:23.0. A 33 rd-place finish for Seth Proctor (24:49.7), 75th slot for Justin Harbor

(25:55.5) and 96th-place finish for Nick Maedel (26:38.9) concluded the men’s team’s scoring. “The seniors were seniors today,” Braman said with a laugh. “We knew we would be OK this year if the seniors ran well and they did that today. Leeder was the catalyst for us today and I know it was a good thing for the guys to see the team captain out front like that. “The future is bright and it is nice to team up with the ladies and sweep the championships.” On the women’s side, head coach Karen Harvey’s squad continued their dominance of the ACC by having two runners finish in the top five, four in the top 15 and six in the top 20.

“We challenged the team with a John Wooden quote this morning,” Harvey said after the race. “Coach Wooden said, ‘Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.’ The ladies certainly did that by showing a lot of character out there.” Senior Pasca Cheruiyot continued her terrific final season by posting a time of 20:05.4 in her secondplace finish. FSU’s other senior captain, Pilar McShine then crossed the finish line at the 20:25.9 mark for a fifth-place finish. Junior Astrid Leutert had her best performance as a Seminole in her 12thplace finish. Leutert registered a time of 20:44.2 and sophomore Jessica Parry wasn’t far behind with a time of 20:52.2 and a 15th-

place race completion. Another Seminole sophomore, Amanda Winslow was not too far off that pace as she achieved an 18th-place finish on a time of 20:56.4. Jennifer Dunn’s 21:03.3 mark propelled her to a 20th-place finish in the 6k event. “Pasca fought really hard out there and Pilar had her best race of the season,” Harvey said. “Astrid did a great job of stepping up when Amanda got a cramp and was slowed down.” Hannah Brooks (35th, 21:26.9), Andi Palen (42nd, 21:43.7) and Emily Ness (62nd, 22:17.9) rounded out the women’s team’s scoring. —Story by Brandon Mellor, FSU Sports Information

’Noles swept by LSU FSU drops first swim meet of season to Tigers by narrow margin Eric Zerkel Staff Writer

The Florida State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams were swept by LSU in what has become an annual slugfest. The men lost 155-145, while the women were defeated 176-123; the first losses on the season for Florida State. Over the past few years, both teams have engaged in highly contested bat-

tles. A Tiger victory only seemed natural, as the cycle of sweeps between the two teams continued. In 2007 FSU swept LSU, only to be swept by LSU in 2008, which Florida State followed up with a sweep last season. “I’m really happy with the way we competed,” head coach Neil Harper said. “It’s always a great challenge to swim at LSU. Even in defeat we definitely became a better team today. For any partial fan it was a great

dual meet to watch.” For the Florida State men (3-1), the meet came down to the last event. Heading into the final relay, the Seminoles trailed the Tigers by just five points. Unfortunately for the ’Noles, the Tigers won the 400 freestyle relay, squashing any Seminole hopes for victory. Senior Rob Holderness and junior Mateo DeAngulo both notched two victories for Florida State. Holderness won both the 100 (55.78) and 200 breast

stroke (2:02.90) while DeAngulo won big in the 500 (4:30.60) and 1,000 freestyles (9:14.78). “Getting Rob back into it was great,” Harper said. “He came from behind in both races and it’s good to have him back. Mateo and Tyler Sell set the tone and swam really well, even while training really hard. They both swam smart tactical races today.” The Seminole women (5-1, 1-0 ACC) faired well also, sweeping all of the

distance events. Senior Holly Mills won the 500 freestyle (4:59.09) and junior Charlotte Broadbent won the 1,000 freestyle. “I was very proud of our distance girls, they are training hard and again swam smart, not getting caught up in the early pace,” Harper said. Junior Stephanie Sarandos also swept the backstroke, winning both the 100 (57.02) and 200 (2:00.21). “Stephanie has raised her game,” Harper said.

“She is training exceptionally hard and had a difficult double in this meet and really was great in the 100 back.” The Seminole men own a 14-11 all-time record against LSU, while the women are 9-16 against the Tigers. The Seminoles will take a two-week hiatus and try to regroup. Florida State will travel to Atlanta, Ga., to take part in the Georgia Tech Invitational, which begins Nov. 19.

forges from 10 The Cavaliers moved to ninth in the ACC with a conference record of 6-7. and an overall record of 12-11. With the loss, the Seminoles fall to 7-6 in conference play and 15-8 overall. Florida State’s tough road stretch continues on Nov. 5 when they travel to Atlanta to face thirdplace Georgia Tech.

The pair of losses over the weekend to Virginia Tech and Virgina dropped Florida State’s conference record to 6-5.

soccer from 10 scoreless at halftime. The second half told a much different story. Just two minutes after the second half was underway, Florida State took the lead. Casey Short sent a cross from the left side of the field across the goal to a waiting Janice Cayman who hit the ball one time into the side of the net. The goal improved upon Cayman’s team-leading goal total, giving her nine goals on the season. Unfortunately for Florida State, their chances to upset the Terps took a hit when Maryland scored

two goals just two minutes apart. In the 59th minute, Colleen Deegan tied the game for Maryland when she sent a free-kick past ’Noles keeper Kelsey Wys. Then, in the 61st minute, Jasmyne Spencer scored the game-winner for the Terrapins when she dribbled across the Seminole box and launched a shot from 15 yards out past Wys and into the left side of the net. After Spencer’s goal, Maryland dug in, thwarting a second-half Seminole barrage in which

Florida State out-shot Maryland 10-3. After the loss, Florida State needed to beat Boston College and have some help, as conference leaders North Carolina and Maryland now both held head-to-head victories over Florida State. The Seminoles would do just that, when Sunday, they topped the 11th-ranked Eagles 1-0 in Chestnut Hill, Mass. With the win, the Seminoles remained undefeated against Boston College, with a 7-0-2 all-time record.

Much like the Maryland match, the first half left much to be decided. Both teams entered the locker room at halftime tied at 0-0 after missing chances to put their team ahead. Boston College outshot Florida State 8-5 in the first half, with much of their pressure coming early on in the half. In the first fifteen minutes, the Eagles had launched five shots on the Florida State net, calling ’Wys into action three times to make saves. Unlike the Maryland match, the match be-

tween the ’Noles and Eagles would continue to be a defensive battle in the second half. Boston College set out to attack the Seminoles, accumulating sven fouls and three yellow cards in the second half. This strategy would prove to be fatal for the Eagles, when a Boston College defender fouled a Florida State player in the box, giving the ’Noles a chance to take the lead on a potential gamechanging penalty shot. In what would turn out to be the decisive mo-

ment, junior Toni Pressley stepped up to the penalty spot and slid the ball to the right of Boston College keeper Jillian Mastroianni, giving the Seminoles the game-winning goal. After withstanding two Boston College shots off of the post, Florida State escaped with a 1-0 win. After the weekend’s results, Florida State needed a Maryland loss to Miami and a North Carolina loss to Wake Forest in order to claim at least a share of the regular season title.

Myers returns to Haddonfield, Ill. to wreak havoc on more unfortunate teenagers (FSU travels to Raleigh, N.C. to take on N.C. State and falls behind late in the fourth quarter, fans gasp and say, “not

again”). Myers later gets blasted by several semiautomatic shotguns and is perceived dead (FSU is driving for the game-winning score—the days of torment are behind us!). At the end of the film,

when all is assumed to be well, Myers’ niece, a little girl named Jamie Lloyd, stabs her mother in the bathtub while wearing the exact costume Myers wore in the original Halloween (Ponder fumbles, Semi-

noles lose). Upon seeing this, Dr. Loomis (myself) is overcome with shock and screams “NOOOOO! NOOOOO!” (my precise reaction following the fumble). Movie credits are then cued.

The motto of the Halloween series is “Evil never dies.” While Dr. Loomis never could cure the evil behind Michael Myers, I can only hope Fisher can cure FSU’s’ evil trend of tormenting their fans.

N.C. State 28, FSU 24

Crying from 10 story for the Seminoles. After Wilson capped off the Pack’s opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run, Florida State took control of the game. Ponder scored twice on the ground and hit Willie Haulstead in the back of the end zone for the ’Noles’ third touchdown of the second quarter to give FSU a 21-7 advantage at halftime. The second half, however, belonged to Wilson and the Wolfpack. Doing it primarily on the ground, the junior quarterback demoralized the Seminole defense in the final 30 minutes. Wilson drove the

N.C. State offense on the opening possession of the second half 68 yards and finished the drive himself with a 10-yard touchdown run to cut Florida State’s lead in half at 21-14. Following an FSU turnover, Wilson again used his legs to find the end zone—this time from 20 yards out—and the Wolfpack quickly tied the game at 21. “His legs won the game,” Fisher said of Wilson. “It was two quarterbacks making plays, and they made one more than we did at the end.” After a 31-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins gave

the Seminoles (6-2, 4-1) the lead back at 24-21, Wilson again showed why he’s among the top signalcallers in the nation, leading a 13-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a dramatic fourth-down touchdown pass to tight end George Bryan from a yard out with 2:40 to play that proved to be the game-winning score. But the game wouldn’t finish without drama, as Ponder, who had made big plays throughout the night, seemed to have enough left in him for a drive to keep the Seminoles undefeated in ACC play and put a stranglehold on the

Atlantic Divison. Ponder hit Haulstead for 16 yards on the drive’s second play and converted a big third down at midfield with a 29-yard pass to Taiwan Easterling down to the Wolfpack 21-yardline. Four plays later, the Seminoles found themselves four yards away from their biggest win of the season, but it went for naught when Ponder mishandled a fake to Ty Jones and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving. “It was a play-action [fake] and I extended the ball too far,” Ponder said.

“I was trying to keep my eyes downfield and I just hit the hip of the tailback. I fumbled it, so it was my fault.” The fumble was the climax of a night filled with errors by the Seminoles, as they turned the ball over twice and had 10 penalties for 81 yards—one of those penalties wiping out a first-quarter touchdown pass from Ponder to Bert Reed. “It’s all about finishing in football,” Reed said. “No matter what you do, no matter how long you play the game—if you don’t finish a run, finish a block, finish a drive—you’re not

going to get very far.” While Ponder and the Seminoles are upset over the loss, they aren’t losing sight of their goal to reach the ACC Championship Game, and understand there is still plenty to play for in the season’s four remaining games. “We’ve just got to keep the right attitude,” Ponder said. “For me personally it’s going to be tough to swallow, but as a leader, I’ve got to do it and I will. We’ve got the weekend off and come Monday, we have to focus on North Carolina because it’s going to be a tough one, so we have to have a short memory.”

Nov 2: more of the same Coming To America Brian Petriti Staff Writer

In the post-democratic world coming after Nov. 2, in America, we will have a world of change waiting for us. Well, probably not. The more likely scenario is one of stagnation in our government. The gears will forever grind slowly in our nation’s capital, and the calls for change and radicalism “I’m not registered to vote.” ––Abby Hallett, freshman

will do one of two things: subside or further marginalize. The truth is this: Congress has never been good at quickly enacting changes to the status quo. This time around, there won’t be any changes to come even if the GOP regains the whole of our bicameral legislative branch. So, instead of potentially moving forward with the Democrats’ as of yet unfinished agenda, we will be stuck in neutral. The Democrats once again splinter in the face

of even minimal adversity as the president surprisingly involves himself in unsound politics (is there such a thing as sound politics?) in states like Rhode Island and Maryland. Unsurprisingly, the Democrats squander momentum every chance they get. They get handed what can only be described as a pack of clowns to run against in Sharron Angle, Carl Paladino and the rest of the gaffe-prone Tea Party crowd. The economy has been stagnant but some of things the Tea Party has been

complaining about are about to be irrelevant. Of the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the bailouts, only $50 billion remain to be paid back, mainly by AIG and the automotive companies. And the economy would probably not be better off under the GOP’s guidance—remember: the stimulus package was signed by one George W. Bush. So what do we now get with the impending rightwing takeover? Very likely, very little. The Republicans have long been renowned for

party unity and sticking to their guns. They do not have two-thirds of the legislation in their hands. Filibustering goes both ways and a veto is absolute without turning more Democrats than even the GOP can afford. So for all of the stonewalling the GOP was doing these past two years, they’re about to get a taste of their own medicine. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this means even slower governing than usual. So let’s enjoy the next two years of the same exact thing.

Sweet,

On Saturday, Oct. 23, the PeaceJam Slam took place at FSU. It was sponsored by the Center for Leadership and Civic Education and SGA. The event brought together over 130 students from all over Florida and north Georgia. Forty FSU students served as mentors and were paired together to lead “family groups” into which the students were divided. What happened in those family groups was an experience that few people will have anywhere else. Over the course of one day, mentors and mentees got to know each other on a level that many people don’t experience over the course of many years. The members of the groups shared passions, fears, pains and every type of emotion. Some “came out” and had someone to comfort them, instead of criticize them. Some told of difficult situations in which they were living and found that not only did others share their experiences, but also that someone cared. I learned firsthand that a hug from someone I had never met before can heal more wounds than anything else. And after it was all over, I sat back and asked myself the question: Why can’t real life be like this? We are all taught

that we are supposed to conduct ourselves a certain way: Boys don’t do this, girls don’t do that, don’t talk to strangers, et cetera. We are also taught that we should censor certain ideas and emotions. In our family groups, we ignored those rules. Nothing was off-limits. People were able to free themselves of emotional burdens and really express who they were. Unfortunately, in every society, people hide at least part of themselves. They act one way in front of certain people and another way in front of others. When people take down those barriers and are able to be themselves right from the start, it is incredible how quickly you get to know and un-

Letter to the editor Ramping up your resume

“I’m not registed to vote in Tallahassee (only in South Florida), so I can’t vote. I wish I had registered here though.” -–Daisy Heinsen, sophomore —Photos and survey conducted by Nikki Unger-Fink/FSView

Dear Editor, My first job out of college was an internship. I was lucky enough to get one that paid a few bucks for an up-and-coming startup back in 1999, and it was one of the defining moments of my life. That internship was the backbone of my career, where I gained knowledge (and a paycheck) that I still use on a daily basis. Over the past 10 years, I’ve “worked my way up” to owner and CEO of my own startup,

ResumeBucket. I’m very fond of those early years, and I think it’s important to emphasize not what internship to apply for, but what to do once you have the job, in order to really make the most out of it. As such, I have put together a few key tips that I would like to share with the current or future class of interns. Focus on your accomplishments Make sure you keep record of what you achieved at your company and figure out how to best represent that on your resume, and with your manager. Approach your duties as individual projects, and

derstand one another. The belief that emotions must be suppressed seems even more exaggerated in high school, where superficial details are generally the most important factors for one’s image. At the same time, high school can be the most stressful time in a young person’s life. This combination is destructive and can lead to dropping out, using drugs, selfharm and sometimes even worse. That pattern needs to stop, and programs like PeaceJam and events like the PeaceJam Slam can help to do that. The Slam, however, was not exclusively held for the aforementioned purposes; its other purpose was to inspire. On April 2 and 3, FSU track measurable results. It pays off. Report your results in your work experience, not just “duties.” For example, a marketing intern could cite how many new followers they accumulated through a new social media initiative. Deliver on quality Managers want the highest quality from their teams, so don’t rush your work and pay attention to detail, from drafting basic e-mails to creating business documents. The same goes for your resume since this document provides the hiring manager a first impression of you.

Middle and high school students from all over the Southeast will be working throughout the year on a “Global Call to Action” project—a project that will make a positive change in their community. They will have the extraordinary opportunity to present their projects to Ebadi at the conference. Godby High School presented their Global Call to Action project at the Slam to give newcomers a good example. They organized a Be proactive Be proactive in volunteering for projects. Your willingness to take on more tasks will make a company see you as part of a larger business strategy and keep you onboard after graduation. On your resume, be sure you highlight proactivity in your experience, objective statement or skills summaries.

Step Up for Uganda walkathon co-sponsored by FSU’s Invisible Children, which raised a combined $2,400 that will go toward building a school in northern Uganda. Seeing young people organizing something like this and putting so much effort into it was truly inspiring. PeaceJam is focused on education, inspiration and action and I saw all three at the Slam. If people can put their differences aside, or even realize that they aren’t really that different after all, what they can do is limitless. We should all look forward to April to see what these bright young minds can do because, one day, they will be the ones in charge of creating a more peaceful world. pany’s needs. To have your resume stand out, include a quick bulleted list of critical skills that are relevant to the jobs where you apply. I hope this helps the current class of interns, and everyone who’s considering an internship in the future. It’s one of the most valuable experiences you can have. And keep in mind, most firstyear grads who have had an internship earn an average of $8,000 more than students who didn’t. In today’s economy, we can’t waste the opportunities. —Ted Hekman, CEO, ResumeBucket

Sports Editor â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me when we had that ďŹ rst conversation when I became the head coach in-waiting. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When the time comes [that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done coaching], Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be around for at least a year. If you need me, call me and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of respect for the program, just like he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want someone looking over his shoulder.â&#x20AC;? This was a quote delivered by head football coach Jimbo Fisher at Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media day on Aug. 8 about his predecessor, Bobby Bowden. Apparently, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the secondwinningest coach in major college football history to break his word. He may not be directly affecting Fisher, but Bowden, in sudden fashion, is taking the spotlight away from Fisher and his team after taking part in an exclusive interview with Sporting News reporter Matt Hayes that will be published in the magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming issue, which hits newsstands Monday. The timing of this interview could not be worse, with Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sea-

The four guys of Delta Moon play roots music to soothe the soul with notes of Southern Mississippi blues along with hints of the style of the North Carolina backwoods. The American Roots Music Association named Delta singer Tom Gray the 2008 Blues Songwriter of the Year and, in 2003, the band won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn. The win inspired Delta to start touring a wider area, including the US, Europe and Canada. Though touring takes them far from home, Delta Moon has been recognized for many â&#x20AC;&#x153;local bestâ&#x20AC;? awards in their hometown of Decatur, Ga. According to All Music Guide, Delta Moon is â&#x20AC;&#x153;A perfect example of contemporary Southern roots music at its most affecting.â&#x20AC;? nĂĄe with Janelle MonĂĄe Saturday, The Blowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Saturday, A g 21 7 t Cl b
