Fashion-lovers—rang-ing from designers to
aficionados—gathered inside 20/20 Nightclub for a special fashion show put on by the last graduating class of Flor-
ida State Univerity’s Ap-parel Design major on Friday, Dec. 3. The stu-dents teamed up with the Interior Design Stu-
dent Organization to put together Friday’s event.
“The Finale: Collective Design Showcase” was a completely student-run
event sponsored by lo-cal businesses. Almost 30 student fashion de-signers showcased their work on the runway.
The designs varied in style, including some pieces that were made from non-traditional

Things got a little “cool-er” than normal on Florida State University’s campus Friday night, Dec. 3. Union Productions hosted their annual Winter Wonderland affair, which transformed the Union Green into a
fi eld of snow. “You never get to see
snow in Florida,” FSU ju-nior Casey Carlson said. “This is just a preview of what I’ll be seeing when I go home over Christmas vacation.”
Other students and Talla-hassee residents were able to stop by and get a glimpse
of the “white stuff” that in-habits so many Christmas dreams and wishes every year.
The event featured snow cones and hot chocolate, which were available in the Union courtyard.
Attendees were also able to create personalized photo snow globes and
listen to familiar holiday tunes that played over the loud speakers.
The winter-themed ac-tivities culminated with the monthly “breakfast for a buck” tradition, which was housed in the cafeteria.
Doors opened at 11 p.m. and those who stood it out in line helped themselves
to a buffet of breakfast, corn dogs, cookies, pizza and more.
Before stepping back out into the cold, attend-ees mingled inside or wait-ed to have their caricature drawn by illustrator Wil-liam Burbridge.
The night’s events drew to a close at 2 a.m.

TURNER COWLES Staff Writer
Tallahassee Mayor John Marks and Mayor Vladi-mir Evlanov of Tallahas-see’s sister city Krasnodar, wrote a joint letter to Sen. LeMieux (R-Fla.), asking him to support the ratifi -cation of the new START treaty.
Appointed by Gov. Crist to replace former Sen. Mel Martinez, LeMieux has shown opposition to the treaty because it does not cover tactical nuclear weapons, an area where, according to LeMieux, Russia has a 10-to-1 ad-vantage.
“Tactical weapons pose a threat because they are mobile, thus hard to monitor and easier to proliferate,” Le-Mieux said according to a Defense News article. Marks described the dif-ferent stages in the cities’ relationships with one another, particularly how those relations stagnated after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Marks’ description began with his inauguration in 2003.
“[The relationships] were dormant, at that time,” Marks said. “Af-
ter a while, it went dor-mant because the U.S. and Russia’s relationship went dormant. We got an inquiry from them about reviving the relationship. Catherine the Great is supposedly the founder of Krasnodar and they have a special holiday in which they celebrate that. They invited all of their sister cities to go over there, and we went.”
Marks added that life for Americans will be more secure if the treaty is passed.
“Well, I don’t know if there’s going to be a direct effect on life in Tallahas-see so much as there’s go-ing to be an effect on the world in general—and on our nation in general—in terms of reducing the number of nuclear weap-ons.”
Marks said that the ability to inspect Russian warheads has been sus-pended.
“As President Reagan said, ‘Trust but verify,’” Marks said. “We don’t have any nuclear warheads in Tallahassee, nor are there any in Krasnodar so as far as a direct effect, no, but as far as an indirect effect in terms of how it affects
our national foreign policy. Sure, why not support that and encourage our senate to ratify [the treaty]. We ac-tually got the request from Sen. Nelson to do this.“ The Tallahassee-Krasn-odar relationship is sig-nifi cant in that it was an example of citizen diplo-macy between two major superpowers that had lit-tle communication during Cold War tensions. The president of the Tallahas-see Krasnodar Sister City Program, Bob Broedel, had a few theories be-hind the lack of commu-nication and the reasons for the creation of the sister city relationship. “Some funny things hap-pened,” Broedel said, “things like Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union the ‘evil empire.’ At that time, there was very little communication from the two countries in the world that had all these bombs; there was not much com-munication between regu-lar people. It was almost if you wrote to the USSR for a pen pal or something, you’d get on a list. They were the enemy. We were trying to hook up regu-lar Russians with regular Americans.”
Marks, however, clari-fi ed the issue as less politi-cal.
“It’s more of a cultural, educational and—quite honestly—a medical re-lationship more than anything else,” Marks ex-plained when asked about the depth and breadth of the relationship with Krasnodar. “They’ve sent a medical group over here that that stayed with us for about a week to study some of our procedures over here at TMH.”
Marks said he hopes that the joint letter has a signifi cant effect on Sen. LeMieux.
“I would be inclined to think that it would have more of an impact than if we had individually writ-ten to him,” Marks said. “I think what probably will be more impactful than that is that this is a bipar-tisan effort. Florida—his capital city—and Krasno-dar—the capital of that re-gion in Russia—if they’re doing this, I think it’ll have more of an impact.”
Marks’ Chief of Staff Rick Minor was in charge of getting the letter ap-proved.
“We went through [Bob Broedel] and connected
with Boris Staroselskiy, who is the department of foreign relations for [Kras-nodar] Mayor Evlanov,” Minor said. “We sent him a draft of the letter by e-mail for his review and approval for the mayor. Mr. Staroselskiy called me the next day and we had a conversation to work through some details.”
From there, the plan ex-panded.
“Rick and I said, ‘Why don’t we do this in con-junction with our sister city?’” Marks said. “[So} we talked to our sister city. Rick talked to Boris and we thought it was a good idea since we have this relationship. They loved it over in Krasnodar.”
Marks went on to ex-plain what he hopes for as a result of their efforts.
“Resume inspections and the reduction in the number of nuclear war-heads,” Marks said. “I think those are the most important. We are living in a global economy. The greater extent that we can understand our for-eign neighbors, the better we understand how they work, how they operate and how they live, I think the better off we are.”

Students, faculty and staff of the Florida State University Department of Sports Management gathered together at a bowling fundraiser in honor of Cynthia Bailey this past Sunday, Dec. 5, at Crenshaw Lanes on campus.
Bailey, the depart-ment’s program assistant, was recently diagnosed with cancer. The event, dubbed “Bowling for Bai-ley,” provided those who know Bailey with an op-portunity to help allevi-ate Bailey of any unnec-essary fi nancial stress.
Those involved in the event planning said they wanted to help Bailey fi -nancially in order to help her concentrate solely on her recovery.
“We wanted to do some-thing publicly to help her family out,” FSU faculty member and one of the event’s main organizers, Dr. Cecile Reynaud, said. “Obviously, all of this re-quires more funds than the normal day-to-day expenses.”
Reynaud, who served as the head volleyball coach at FSU from 1976-2001, added that the purpose of the fund-raiser was to help raise money to ensure there were enough everyday
necessities available for Bailey and her family—especially her daugh-ter—who moved back to Tallahassee in order to help her mother recover. The money will also help Bailey’s daughter secure a place for her and her family to stay for the re-mainder of Bailey’s treat-ment.
Reynaud, who is cur-rently an advisor to the program’s master stu-dents, said she works closely with Bailey an-swering admissions questions, solving class scheduling confl icts and in working directly with students concerned with their studies. Reynaud said that, besides being
helpful professionally, Bailey is an individual who has touched many people’s lives in a posi-tive way.
“Cynthia is a wonderful person [who is] always in a pleasant mood and very helpful,” Reynaud said. “She is a wealth of infor-mation—always on the other end of an e-mail or phone call from a current or prospective student or faculty member.”
Students who know Bailey agree that she is helpful as a professional, but also as someone who is always willing to lend a helping hand.
“As a friend, she is kind

of like the mama bear in the offi ce,” FSU student Jenny Sicagata said. “She keeps us glued together. Professionally, if I ever had a question, Cynthia would answer it—she is a wealth of knowledge.”
Sicagata, who fi rst be-gan working with Bai-ley as a freshman in the Sports Management of-fi ce, said she could al-ways turn to Bailey when she needed advice or sup-port.
“Anytime I ever came into the offi ce and had been upset about a grade or something, she’d sit me down, hand me an M&M and say, ‘Take a deep breath, smile,’” Si-cagata said. “She is a complete and utter joy to work with.”
As Bailey works on her recovery, she still comes into the offi ce occasion-ally to visit. According to Reynaud, Cynthia has completed her fi rst round of chemotherapy and has stopped by the offi ce a few times to say hello and to spend some time at her desk.
“Cynthia means so much to all of us in the depart-ment—students, faculty and staff,” Reynaud said. “It is amazing how empty the offi ce seems when I don’t see her sitting there whenever I walk down to the main offi ce.”
Those at the offi ce hope Bailey’s absence will be short, and said they look forward to her return.
“She’s a true fi ghter,” Si-cagata said, who attended the fundraiser. “We miss her at the Sports Manage-ment offi ce, but she is recovering and her spir-its are high. We look for-ward to her coming back healthy.”
Those who could not make it to the event are still encouraged to leave a donation at the Sport Management offi ce in room 1002 of the Tully Gymnasium.

In 2010, Anne Cold-iron, a Florida State University English pro-fessor, received both a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow-ship and Folger Library Fellowship to fund re-search for her upcoming book, Printers Without Borders: Translation and Transnationalism in Tudor England.
Coldiron’s current research focuses on the technological de-velopment of 1477 that changed history: the in-vention of the printing press.
“The Internet is a de-mocratizing technol-ogy,” Coldiron said. “It’s the same thing with the printing press.”
Because her research
is only in the beginning stages—she left Friday and will reside at the Folger Library for nine months—many ques-tions have yet to be an-swered.
“If it were not for Shakespeare and the Renaissance, it’s hard to imagine there could have ever been the Unit-ed States,” Professor and Chair of the FSU English Department Ralph Berry said.
For Coldiron, the chance to study at the Folger Library is not just about the books and re-sources to which she will have access.
As a leading professor in the History of Text Technologies program, Coldiron is just as inter-ested in the marginalia and way the book was made, dating clues and
information only found between the lines. The Folger houses the larg-est collection of Shake-speare and Renaissance texts in the world, and it is home to experts in a variety of disciplines.
“Because the Folger has those amazing, un-paralleled resources, on any given day, you have eight to 10 of the world’s
top scholars,” Coldiron said. “Just hearing what people have been do-ing is an education in itself.”
Coldiron discovered her interest in literature through the French Re-naissance.
“English national iden-tity is also foreign iden-tity, because of the print-ing press,” Coldiron said.
“A lot of transnational-ism was involved.”
One of Coldiron’s goals is to examine why 80 percent of the books Wil-liam Caxton first printed were translations.
The seed money for the first stage of re-search came from the FSU Counsel for Re-search and Creativity, an organization that funded a summer of study on new information tech-nology and the age of cross-cultural contact in England.
Some students ex-pressed happiness for Coldiron’s achieve-ments, and remarked on her natural teaching abilities.
“Professor Coldiron’s class was the best class I’ve taken,” FSU senior and English major Angel Sanchez said.

A Leon County Grand Jury announced Dec. 1 that the death of David Mays, former Chief Os-ceola for Florida State University, was acciden-tal.
The ruling quelled ru-mors that Mays commit-ted suicide, while also clearing his wife, Joyce Strano, and their son, Dakota Mays, of any criminal wrongdoing.
According to a press release, the Presentment of the grand jury assert-ed that a shotgun “was
introduced into a domes-tic dispute. There was a struggle between Mays, the mother of his child and his son over the shot-gun and the shotgun was accidentally discharged during the struggle caus-ing the death of David Mays.”
Bruce Alter, Joyce Strano’s attorney, ex-plained that this verdict validates what Strano and Dakota Mays have said from the beginning.
“The fi ndings of the grand jury are perfectly consistent with what Ms. Strano has been saying all along,” Strano’s Attor-
ney Bruce Alter said in a press release. “Contrary to earlier reports, both she and her son were in-terviewed a second time in detail by LCSO and provided DNA and fi nger-print samples to LCSO. In addition, Ms. Strano even voluntarily took and passed a polygraph examination given by the retired chief polygraph examiner of FDLE.”
Alter also said that the family is still grieving the loss of Mays.
“She and their son con-tinue to mourn the tragic passing of David Mays,” Alter said.

After years of lacking a Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant, Tallahassee residents will now have two locations to call their own—thanks to Florida State University juniors
Taylor Banks and Sophia Crowley; Chipotle devo-tees, the two felt that it was time for the popular restaurant to make its Tallahassee debut, espe-cially since the closest locations were in Gaines-ville and Orlando.
“At the end of last spring, we saw each other randomly and So-phia [joked], ‘If I have one goal, it’d be to have Chipotle here by the time we leave,” Banks said.
Originally founded in 1993 by chef Steve Ells,
Chipotle Mexican Grill ex-panded from a small res-taurant in Denver, Colo., to a company-owned chain with over 1,000 locations worldwide. Though it’s mostly known for its oversized burri-tos, Chipotle also serves burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas and vegetar-ian options. The company focuses on serving “food with integrity”—as they call it—making it a point to serve only the best and freshest food by using natural ingredients and
raising their animals on family farms without the use of antibiotics or hor-mones. Additionally, none of the restaurants contain microwaves, freezers or can openers. Chipotle’s fresh taste, fast-paced assembly line set-up and 65,000 possible meal com-binations account for its popularity. It comes as no surprise, then, that Talla-hassee residents wanted to fi ll the void of not hav-ing one in town.
Needing their burrito fi x—and fast—Banks and
Crowley took matters into their own hands and began e-mailing Chipo-tle employers to bring the city to their attention. At the time, the company re-plied and said they were not entirely interested in opening a location in Tal-lahassee.
“The closest one was ei-ther in Gainesville or we had to drive all the way home to Orlando, which we had no problem doing because we’re obsessed

Because, after that fi fth encore presentation of A Christmas Story (which is something of a scary movie in and of itself), just about anyone is likely to want to shoot their eye out.
It’s a Wonderful LifeA dear friend once
asked me what my favor-ite Christmas movie was and, like most people, I included director Frank Capra’s seminal holiday classic on my off-the-cuff list.
She immediately re-sponded by asking as to why, professing it to be “the most depressing movie ever.”
Then it dawned on me. Come to think of it, in spite of its Norman Rockwell overtones, and

Monotonix hail from Israel, and the better part of their audience probably hasn’t heard a single one of their studio recordings.
That’s not to say their recordings aren’t worth a listen, however—Monotonix just have one of the most fun, loud and energetic live shows around.
The band’s second LP, Not Yet, is due out Jan. 25 and is an improvement on their previous record-ings, as it was recorded with the assistance of legendary musician and producer Steve Albini at his studio in Chicago. The heavy, garage rock sound is as present as al-
ways, but on this record, the riffs never slow down or stop, guaranteeing an even more energetic live show than before. While most bands try to cap-ture their studio sound in their live performanc-es, Monotonix prefer to imitate the energy of their live performances in their recordings, and it works better than ever on the new album.
Not Yet’s first single, “Never Died Before,” was released in April of this year with the non-album B-side “Lazy Boy.” Their next single, “Fun Fun Fun,” was re-leased two months later with another non-album track, “Try Try Try.” Both singles can be purchased from the band’s label page at Drag City.
The band refuses to play on a stage, play-ing instead in, on and around the audience. The riotous show usu-ally includes a few ele-ments of danger, but a punk show wouldn’t be much without some danger. Earlier this year, Monotonix played a show with Surfer Blood in South Florida where the singer, Ami Shalev, jumped down from the audience and landed poorly on his feet, suffer-ing a severe injury to the knee. After a short break to recuperate, they were back on tour, playing festivals like Barcelona’s Primavera Sound where the singer sported a knee brace, but no less energy from the injury.
The last time
Monotonix played a show in Tallahassee was at Club Downunder when they opened for Silver Jews on their fare-well tour in 2008. Their set took place inside, out and everywhere around the venue, with the singer hanging from banisters at times. Two years have passed and now they are back in Tal-lahassee, but this time they are headlining and playing a less conserva-tive venue, The Engine Room, two important characteristics that should lead to an even more exciting show.
Opening for Monotonix is local metal band Dick-kicker.

Growing up in the ’90s, it was hard to avoid the cinematic presence of the infamous brothers Bald-win. There was William (Backdraft and Fair Game), Daniel (John Carpenter’s Vampires), and the ever-popular Alec (Glengarry Glen Ross and Ghosts of Mississip-pi). And then there was Stephen, who had his own
string of success, sup-porting such fi lms as Oli-ver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July and Bryan Singer’s Oscar-winning The Usual Suspects.
With such a brilliant be-ginning, we can only won-der why his popularity waned. Perhaps it was his denial of the role of Jack in Speed (which then went to Keanu Reeves) and his acceptance of a role starring alongside Pauly Shore in 1996’s Bio-
Dome that caused his presence in Hollywood to lessen. We can only guess as to what actually hap-pened.
None of this affects Stephen, however. What has happened is all in the past; today is all that matters. Having recently found religion, Baldwin fi nds work in television and family-friendly proj-ects.
This past week, Bald-win joined forces with
Florida State Universi-ty’s Torchlight Program, which provides students with a more complete fi lmmaking education and up-to-date know-how about current fi lm trends.
Paul Cohen, director of the program, was former CEO/President of Manhat-tan Pictures International (MPI), which was respon-sible for assisting the re-lease of such fi lms as The Secret Lives of Dentists and Jean-Luc Godard’s In
Praise of Love.“The Torchlight pro-
gram is intended to give students the instruction and opportunities they need to graduate and im-mediately become part of the fi lm industry,” Cohen said. “By providing real-world assignments, not just entry-level positions, their resumes are a lot more valuable once they graduate.”

Rebecca Loebe is a self-made musician based in Atlanta. In an exclusive interview with the FSView and Florida Flambeau, she dishes about her early maturity, being homeless, endless touring and the turning point that made her decide to pursue becoming a musician.
FSView and Florida Flambeau: Who are the infl uences for your music?
Rebecca Loebe: It’s funny; I grew up listening to a lot of ’50s pop, a lot of older stuff like the Beach Boys and whatnot. When I was in middle school, my mom fi nally got sick of listening to all this oldies radio, so she was like, “Al-right Rebecca, we’re going to listen to Nirvana now!” She changed the radio sta-tion and introduced me to Nirvana, the Indigo Girls and more current music.
FFF: What inspires you to write songs?
RL: It probably sounds cliché, but just everything I see around me, my life as I go through it. Usually when I’m writing a song, I will take an idea that pops into my head, a line, a few words string together with the melody, and it general-ly turns into the fi rst line of a chorus or the fi rst line of a song, and then I have to sing it over and over again to myself until I fi gure out what it’s about. Like I don’t decide, “Oh I want to write a song about slave labor, or about heartbreak.” I just write a line and then I say, “Well, what’s that song about?” and work back-wards from there.
FFF: It seems like you’ve done everything in your life early. Your fi rst performance was at age 5; you graduated high school and college early. How do you think this has affected
you?RL: You know, I got re-
ally used to moving quick, I think. I got used to hang-ing out with people who were older than me from a young age. I went to a college, Berklee, where the median student age is 26. It’s a very unconven-tional place in that respect; people don’t just go there straight out of high school. So, I think I just got really used to hanging out with older people, and as I move on into adulthood, I have friends of all ages that span decades. I think I learn a lot from the people that I’m around, and I tend to asso-ciate with a diverse group of people.
FFF: You were techni-cally homeless for over a year when you were tour-ing. What was that like?
RL: It’s not as strange as it sounds, honestly. […] It’s exhilarating, it’s really fl eet-ing, you’re not tied down. That’s what it feels like when it feels good. But oth-er times, when you’ve had a bad show, or you’re feeling lost and far away, you have no concept of a home, an apartment somewhere that has your clothes hanging in the closet and a garden in the backyard that you can return to at any minute. So, it’s challenging, but some-times it’s what’s necessary to launch a career—to be able to get your expenses down to the absolute mini-mum. And if you don’t have a place to go home to, you then don’t have much of a choice but to just keep playing shows, and the more shows you play, the more fanbase you build and the more experience you get as a performer. I think it defi nitely strength-ened me as a performer and as a person.
FFF: How has your mu-sic changed, from your fi rst album to the latest, Mystery Prize?
RL: It has defi nitely
grown with me as I have grown as a person. The topics that I care about and write about, that I’m able to express in music, I think have strengthened and deepened. I think my voice has defi nitely changed. The voice is an evolving instru-ment, which I think is the amazing thing about it. If I listened to my fi rst album that I recorded six years ago I think I sound like a kid. It was the absolute best I could do then, it was the deepest and most mature that I had felt or sounded to that point. But now, sev-eral years down the road, I feel like my voice has opened up and I can use it to express myself in ways I couldn’t then.
FFF: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
RL: I want to play music until the wheels fall off. I’m trying currently to carve out a life as a touring song-writer that is sustainable in a long-term way. The way I’m doing it right now, play-ing 200 shows a year, I don’t think I can keep up that kind of thing for 10 solid years. So it’s just a matter of working as hard as I can in order to build something that I can return to.
FFF: What do you think would have happened if your sound engineering teacher hadn’t encouraged you to follow your dreams of being a musician?
RL: It is very possible that I would have moved to L.A. or maybe Nashville and started on the bottom rung of an audio engineer-ing career and tried to pur-sue that. I tend to focus on stuff and get really ab-sorbed in doing as well as I can at it once I’m involved in doing it. So, I don’t know how fulfi lling I would have found it, or how long it would have taken for me to realize that I wasn’t as fulfi lled by it as I am by a more creative pursuit.
I’m so glad that I didn’t

ERIC JAFFEContributing Writer
Despite churning out consistent hits and selling millions of albums, Fergie, will.i.am, Taboo and apl.de.ap, also known as The Black Eyed Peas, are no-toriously panned by critics time and time again. With their sixth studio album, The Beginning, the Peas ignore the haters and con-tinue where their previous effort, The E.N.D., left off—for better or worse.
The album opens with the single, “The Time (Dirty Bit).” One of the better tracks off the LP, the song shamelessly bites the cho-rus from Bill Medley’s clas-sic, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” and turns it into a fi st-pumping techno jam tailored for the clubs. The track is defi nitive of the album’s sound—loud, ob-noxious and destined for radio play. Let’s not kid our-selves; did we really expect anything deep from the
people whose biggest hit is dedicated to the curvatures of the female body?
The biggest problem with The Beginning is the vocals. There’s no de-nying that will.i.am is one hell of a producer, but as a singer, there doesn’t get much worse. Especially when combined with grat-ing autotune (didn’t Jay-Z kill that thing over a year ago?), Will’s voice is ab-solutely horrifying. Had the production and lyr-ics of the instant-highlight “Someday” been given to a competent singer like, say, Cee-Lo Green or John Legend, it could have been crossover gold—instead, the track settles for bronze. Will is a decent rapper and an incredible producer, but singing just isn’t his thing.
“But what about Fergie?” you may ask. Good ques-tion—Fergalicious’ verses are kept to a bare minimum on The Beginning. Aside from the occasional hook, she seems content to let the
men run the show. When she does decide to make an appearance, however, it’s usually a highlight. In par-ticular, the Fergie-starring “Whenever” is probably the best song on the entire album. With will.i.am’s stel-lar production and Fergie’s powerful vocals, “When-ever” is exactly what the fans of last year’s “Meet Me Halfway” want to hear.
I should probably men-tion apl.de.ap and Taboo. The Peas’ lesser-known counterparts do exactly the same thing they’ve been do-ing since Fergie joined the group in 2003: make Fergie and Will look better. Before Elephunk, the album that introduced The Black Eyed Peas to the world with hits “Hey Mama,” “Let’s Get It Started,” and “Where is the Love,” Taboo and apl.de.ap were immensely enjoyable to listen to but, since the group went pop, they seem to have stopped trying. Per-haps they’re tired of living in Will and Fergie’s respec-
tive shadows.The one thing this album
really has going for it is its fl uid and cohesive sound. Every song blends into the other, creating the illusion that the listener is listening to one long track, rather than a series of them.
The only exception to this rule is the awkwardly placed “Own It,” an inspira-tional anthem that sounds completely out of place on an album predominantly dedicated to the dance fl oor. The track itself is a bit cheesy and the whole al-bum could have benefi ted without it.
Though The Begin-ning’s title suggests that it’s a prequel to last year’s The

ERIC SARRANTONIOStaff Writer
If there is any musi-cal genre that brought an end to the ’00s and a start to the ’10s, it’s chillwave. After the ca-reer-making release of Merriweather Post Pa-villion by Animal Col-lective early last year, musicians started pick-ing up on a synthesized and relaxed sound. With Neon Indian, chillwave was given its fi rst main-stream breakthrough, and many of his contem-porary musicians take inspiration from him. Dynamo, local musician Robert Bielling’s second release as Sticks and Twine, presents many of the common qualities of chillwave, but adds some extraneous noise samples and occasion-ally clear vocals that help the music stand out from other acts in the genre.
The album opens with what is probably the best track, “Lonely Dancer,” in which a guitar strum is repeated throughout the whole song and built on with some beautiful piano fl ourishes and odd samples.
The song quickly intro-duces the main themes of Stick and Twine’s music: a catchy and re-petitive melody, dreamy vocals and many simple instrumental parts that build on top of each other.
Practically every song follows these three characteristics, but that doesn’t make the album a bore.
Rather, each song presents enough new and appealing ideas, even among the re-peated qualities, which makes the album an ex-citing listen.
While listening to the album, it is obvious— because the album was not recorded in a pro-fessional studio—that more focused engineer-ing and mixing would have made it sound bet-ter.
However, as this is a bedroom music proj-ect like so many other budding musicians, the quality must be accept-ed until the musician can record under better circumstances.
The most egregious
Local act Sticks and Twine releases new albumChillwave musician’s sophomore outing is ‘Dynamo’
sounds are in the vo-cals—the effects seem poorly tacked on to mask the singer’s real voice.
The lyrics, however, are almost always completely understandable, a nice
break from the inaudible vocals of an excess of in-die and particularly chill-wave music. “49’ Aero-plane” is a diffi cult listen because of these bad ef-fects on the vocals.
On the occasions when the vocals are mostly na-ked of effects, they sound the best.
All of the hot debate over whether or not chill-wave is an important
genre of music is non-sense. There are a lot of new artists in the genre that are bringing music in a new direction, and Sticks and Twine is yet an-other strong argument for
the future of the genre.To listen to or pur-
chase Sticks and Twine’s music, head over to his bandcamp at www.stick-sandtwine.bandcamp.com.

E.N.D., the album doesn’t hold a candle to its com-panion piece, and even that was mediocre. There are quite a few hits to behold on The Black Eyed Peas’
latest. Unfortunately, ter-rible vocals, poorly written lyrics and lazy hooks make the album nothing more than a waste of good pro-duction.

Wu-Tang ClanRap ensemble Wu-Tang
Clan will play at the Cen-ter Stage Theater in At-lanta on Dec. 16.
Although there are no plans for the next Wu-
Tang full-length, and de-spite the fact that it has been three years since their last all together, many of the members have been or are planning on releasing their solo ef-
forts. Ghostface Killah has his ninth album, Apol-lo Kids, coming out at the end of December and GZA is releasing the sequel to his classic album, Liquid Swords, in 2011.
[laughs] but it’s a lot more convenient to have one here,” Crowley said. “We thought it was weird be-cause it’s a college campus and it would do fantastic. We just didn’t understand why they wouldn’t bring one here.”
Rather than discour-age Banks and Crowley, the response prompted the ladies to begin the Facebook group “Bring Chipotle to Tallahassee!...Now” to see how high the demand was for Chipotle to come to town. After in-viting their friends to join the group, the number of members quickly expand-ed beyond their expecta-tions.
“We didn’t think it would be this big,” Crow-ley said.
After posting a link to Chipotle’s offi cial Face-book page, Chipotle Mar-keting Consultant Kim-berly Higgins contacted Banks and informed her that they had been scour-ing the city for possible
locations. “They sent me an e-mail
and were like, ‘Taylor, are you sitting down?’” Banks recalled, laughing. “They were like, ‘We’re check-ing out the area. We’re defi nitely going to have something posted for you soon.’ “
Shortly thereafter, Banks received another e-mail with better news—Chipotle was bringing two new locations to Tal-lahassee. Because the members of the Facebook group were so infl uential in bringing the restaurant to town, Higgins suggest-ed that Banks and Crow-ley host an invitation-only pre-opening party for a select number of fans, which will include a free meal and drink, the day before it offi cially opens.
Chipotle has also given Banks and Crowley an in-ternship for their involve-ment, in which they will act as “Burrito Reps” on the FSU campus and will represent the company at
green and charity events. The masterminds behind
the plot to bring Chipotle to Tallahassee are already looking forward to their favorite burritos—Crow-ley prefers a burrito bowl with rice, no beans, carni-tas, hot salsa (lots of it), sour cream, cheese and lettuce, while Banks, a vegetarian, prefers rice, extra black beans, fajita vegetables, extra corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese and lettuce.
“It’s such a good feeling when I walk in there, that I know no matter what I get, I’m not going to be disappointed,” Crowley said.
Chipotle Mexican Grill in the Varsity Plaza on Tennessee Street will open Thursday, Dec. 9. The opening date for Chipotle on Apalachee Parkway has not been an-nounced.

Jimmy Stewart’s ne’er to do ill will, peppy dispo-sition (save, of course, when he considers sui-cide), gee golly this really was a Debbie Downer of a fi lm—especially consid-ering the economic times we’re currently in. Bed-ford Falls or Anywhere-town, USA, Mr. Potter or Wall Street slime, this 1940s slice of life drama, depending on how much eggnog you’ve had go-ing in, could be seen as anything but a wonderful life.
The SnowmanMany readers may not
recognize this one by name alone, but I am will-ing to bet there’s still a hole left in the hearts of those who have seen this 1982 animated fi lm about a little boy and his fl ying snowman friend.
Adapted from the Ray-mond Briggs book, this near-silent fi lm is as time-less as it is bittersweet. With its picture book aes-thetic and eloquently som-ber score, The Snowman is a short feature about—what else—a snowman, and the boy who not only created himself a best friend, but your fi rst les-son in the life and death of a cherished childhood icon.
No matter how moving the music, however, it’s the stark juxtaposition of a snowman once danc-ing, frolicking, and later reduced to a puddle—just like the one left from the tears on my fi rst easy
chair—that will melt your heart.

Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
What more is there to say about these family favorites starring thief-thwarting Macaulay Culkin that hasn’t already been covered?
For starters, what about the fact that nearly every-one in his family resents him (if Uncle Frank’s “Look what you did, you little jerk!” didn’t make that apparent enough), and he’s left totally to his own devices—during Christmas, no less—against two criminals. Sure, they’re bumbling, but when one half of the Wet Bandits is Joe Pesci, all bets are off.
I don’t care if Scarlett Johansson was in the third entry; the fi rst two Home Alone fi lms, co-medic and heartwarming as they may be, are not merely a rebellious kid’s dreams come true, but the stuff of a practical kid’s nightmares.
I also don’t care if you never owned an in-home furnace. You were scared of them, whether your basement had one or not.
Batman ReturnsHere’s an idea: Let’s
make a Batman fi lm, gear it toward a mature au-dience, throw in a plot about an attempt to kid-
nap and mass-murder the city’s fi rst-born sons and set it against a gothic backdrop of Christmas in Gotham City.
Before Tim Burton went all soft on us, he gave kids like me a Bat-man who kills the holiday spirit (and thugs), and men in Santa suits being assaulted by a gang of cir-cus freaks.
This grim imagery is only exacerbated by Dan-ny Elfman’s haunting—and, dare I say, best—score, not to mention the dreary winter wonderland set designs that border on the dystopian.
More to the point: No-body in this fi lm even wins. Those who have seen the 1992 blockbuster know it culminates into something of a Greek tragedy, with each char-acter either failing in their cause, or dying.
Michael Keaton may have been the best Bat-man (there, I said it), but not even he could save Christmas.
Black Christmas“’Twas the night before
Christmas, and all through the house, a creature was staring...”
If there is one fi lm sure to damper anyone’s holi-day spirit, it’s 1974’s oft-overlooked voyeur horror, Black Christmas. It’s the classic story we’ve grown all-too familiar with: A sorority house receives a series of lewd, lascivi-ous and indiscernible calls from an anonymous
creeper—only told better than its countless other it-erations.
Oh, and it takes place on “the most wonderful time of the year.”
Directed by Bob Clark (who, ironically enough, also directed A Christ-mas Story), the title of this slasher says it all. With its bleak cinematog-raphy, minimalist score offset by Christmas carols and downright disturbing POV shots, this precur-sor to Halloween takes your white Christmas and paints it black.
Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2
In this sequel to its equally awful predecessor about a man in a Santa suit carjacking and murdering two young boys’ parents (yeah, good luck fi nding this b-movie schlockfest), Ricky, just like his older
brother in the fi rst fi lm, is suffering from the holiday blues.
Growing up in an or-phanage will do that to you, apparently, as an insti-tutionalized Ricky recaps his days of playing Santa—serving up “punishment” in the form of taking out his post-traumatic stress on “naughty” victims (i.e., swinging axes in a Santa suit at a wheelchair-bound mother superior).
In what is more melan-choly than scary or sus-penseful, this cult-favorite is known not only for its antihero’s inexplicable ex-citement for “garbage day” (as made a popular meme via YouTube), but its re-markably poor acting (the lead, for one, requires a di-alogue coach, an eyebrow wrangler, and then some).
Masochists looking for a true lump of coal—or de-
ranged gag gift—this year need look no further.
ScroogedNo list of this persua-
sion is complete without this snarky, contemporary take on the age-old Dick-ens tale. Director Richard Donner’s meta-satire has Bill Murray at his bitter best (which is apt, given his purported distaste for the fi lm in hindsight) as a ruthless TV exec whose sour attitude toward ev-eryone and everything is just as depressing as his ill-conceived ’80s mullet.
Between haunting jour-neys to the past, present and future, Bill Murray being Bill Murray, and an even darker climax, what begins as a comedy slow-ly becomes one big “bah, humbug”—at least until its redemptive fi nale, which is why it’s become the mod-ern classic it is today.

Cohen strives to pro-vide students with real-life experience as much as possible to avoid the traditional entry-level position hiring once they graduate.
Such was the case last week, when students got a chance to be a part of the crew behind Baldwin’s directorial debut music video.
“The one thing I am go-ing to be telling everybody when I get back, and I’m not just saying this, is that the students at Florida State University are more professional than a lot of the people I’ve seen on set in Hollywood,” Bald-win commented. “These students have blown my mind.”
Students were assigned the key positions and
worked non-stop to make sure each shot looked as well-framed as possible. Film student Patrick Nis-sim took on the duty of Director of Photography during the shoot.
This position is one of the most coveted and challenging jobs on any set. Cinematographers are responsible for the look of the shoot, the lighting and camera set-ups.
“Patrick, I mean, this kid is better than some of the directors of photogra-phy I have worked on the independent level over the past 20 years,” Baldwin boded. “I mean, this kid is an absolute phenome-non—super-talented and incredibly collaborative.”
The professionalism of the FSU students really took the actor-turned-di-
rector by storm. “The greatest blessing
for me is how excellent the students have been,” Baldwin continued.
Every shoot in the busi-ness also brings about lessons learned for the crew. Whether it has to do with lighting or footage coverage, there is always something that needs to be worked on for the next shoot.
“The more you can open your heart and your mind to the collaboration, prob-ably the better your end result will be,” Baldwin advised. “The more I kept myself open, the more op-portunity I found for bet-ter opportunity for better shots.”
It’s obvious that fi lm-making is a collaborative effort and Stephen Bald-
win has worked in the business of Hollywood for over 20 years. He has also worked with some hard Hollywood hitters, such as Oliver Stone and Brian De Palma.
How much about di-recting did he learn while collaborating with these directors?
“If you’re smart, you try and keep your eyes and ears open to what is going on around you,” Baldwin recalled. “But it’s really the collaboration that has stuck with me; suggesting things that weren’t really there and having those ideas accepted or used.”
The music video is for artist Cory Lamb, whose upcoming album Break the Cycle drops in early February next year, and who has similar senti-
ments about working with the students.
“All these kids are just phenomenal fi lm students [and] are just super-talent-ed,” Lamb said. “They are so on-point, ready to go, accommodating and just fun to work with.”
The shoot took place in Tallahassee’s Railroad Square Art Park district, at The Other Side Vintage boutique. Full of antiques, classic LPs and other unique fi nds, the location provided an appropriately unique atmosphere for the setting of the video.
“I really wasn’t sure what the vision was going to be like until I got here and then I was just blown away,” Lamb recalled.
Lamb’s music video is set to air online at the be-ginning of the year. Fans
will be able to view the video on Lamb’s website. Free downloadable tracks are also available to those looking to expand their musical pallets. Lamb plans to kick-start a na-tional tour in February to promote the release of his record. Those tour dates and locations will be post-ed on his website shortly.
As for Baldwin? There were some Internet ru-mors back in August about some plans for a Bio-Dome prequel. Let’s just hope that is where these rumors stay, so fi lm-goers never have to relive that sour experience of the fi rst fi lm.
Lamb’s album Break the Cycle will be out in early 2011. For more in-formation, visit www.corylamb.com.

Down 44-26 with less than a minute to go in the ACC Championship Game, Florida State fans, myself included, were struggling to see the bright side in their pres-ent situation.
The Charlotte weather was giving football fans a big middle fi nger. It was cold, it was wet, it was miserable.
Tyrod Taylor and the Hokie offense had just ripped FSU a new one and in garbage time of the fourth quarter, Virgin-ia Tech fans had begun mocking the Seminole fanbase, sarcastically per-forming the Tomahawk Chop while intermittent-ly waving goodbye.
Yes, at that moment, the outlook moving for-ward could have been colored gray, but, being an optimist, allow me to point out the nuggets of hope to be drawn from the loss.
It’s going to be a hard sell, but the performance of the defense is defi -nitely something to be celebrated this season. The turnaround of this unit cannot be under-stated. I know it looked like Tyrod Taylor was playing NCAA Football 11 on his Xbox out there on Saturday and when he hit a wide-open Danny Coale to start the scoring for the Hokies in the sec-ond half (my whole sec-tion collectively yelled, “NOOOOOO!” when they saw the broken coverage and Coale breaking for the end zone), it made the Seminole defense look amateur.
But, when you consid-er that Taylor is a senior
‘No-quit’ attitude a silver lining in
loss

Seminoles’ BCS hopes busted
BRETT JULASports Editor
He passed, he ran, he juked and he demoralized one of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s best defens-es all night long.
After a game where Vir-ginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor did virtually everything, all that was left to do was smile.
Taylor, the ACC’s Player of the Year, lived up to the billing on Saturday night, throwing for 263 yards and three touchdowns while adding another touch-down on the ground, as the Hokies (11-2, 9-0 ACC) ran away from Florida State to earn a 44-33 win in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, N.C.
The win sends Virginia Tech to Jan. 3’s Discover Orange Bowl, while Flori-da State is destined for the Chik-Fil-A Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Atlanta. The Hokies also put a stamp on their dominance of the ACC since joining the league, as the win gave them their fourth con-ference crown in seven years.
“We expected that kind of play out of him, but I guess not to that extent,” FSU safety Nick Moody said of Taylor. “He made plays with his feet and his arm. He showed why he’s the ACC Player of the Year.”
Before Taylor found his rhythm, it was the defense that got a game chalked full of big plays for the Hokies going.
After Dustin Hopkins opened the game’s scoring with a 32-yard fi eld goal on Florida State’s opening drive and the Hokies went three-and-out, linebacker Jeron Gouveia-Winslow intercepted Seminole quarterback EJ Manuel on the second play of the drive and returned it 24 yards for the score to give Virginia Tech a 7-3 lead.

The Florida State vol-leyball team opened up postseason play in the fi rst round of the NCAA tournament on Friday evening when the Semi-noles defeated the Eagles of Georgia Southern in four sets (25-20, 23-25, 25-22, 25-13).
The victory was a his-toric one for the Semi-noles (25-10), as it marks the fi rst time in school his-tory that FSU has reached the second round of the NCAA tournament in con-secutive seasons.
Florida State was led by the efforts of their outside
hitting trio of Jekaterina Stepanova, Visnja Djurd-jevic and Stephanie Nev-ille, who combined for 42 kills on the evening.
Djurdjevic paved the way for her teammates as she tallied a game-high 16 kills to go along with nine digs. Stepanova had an impressive 12 kills and nine digs, despite sitting out the fi rst set due to ill-ness. Neville added her 14 kills and three blocks, while posting a phenom-enal .419 hitting percent-age—the sixth time this year Neville has put up at least 12 kills in a match while hitting over .400.

For starting quarter-backs, it’s hard enough to prepare for Virginia Tech’s defense with a week’s notice.
EJ Manuel had less than 48 hours.
The Florida State back-up quarterback found out Thursday afternoon that he would start in place of injured senior Chris-tian Ponder for Satur-day’s ACC Championship Game.
“You never know when that’s going to happen,” Manuel said.
Despite having to bat-tle the frigid weather and an extremely pro-Hokies crowd, he gave the Semi-noles a fi ghting chance in
their 44-33 defeat, throw-ing for a career-high 288 yards and one touch-down.
The 2010 Gator Bowl MVP started once earlier this season in a 16-13 win against Clemson, but this was by far the toughest test of his career.
The Hokies entered the game with the second-most interceptions in the country, and left Bank of America Stadium with the highest mark at 22.
The fi rst of Manuel’s two interceptions was hardly his mistake. Tech linebacker Bruce Taylor launched his body to tip Manuel’s throw high into the air, where it fell help-lessly into Jeron Gou-

ERIC ZERKELStaff Writer
Coming off its fi rst loss of the season, the 14th-ranked Florida State women’s basketball team came back and topped the Western Carolina Cat-amounts, 68-48, Saturday in Cullowhee, N.C.
The Seminoles (7-1) would jump out to an ear-ly 13-3 lead, but follow-ing a series of turnovers, Western Carolina was in a position to rally.
Turnovers have become a recurrent problem for the Florida State offense, and the ’Noles continued those struggles against the Catamounts, turning the ball over 18 times.
The Catamounts (1-5) would go on a 12-2 run, and with nine minutes left tied the Seminoles at 15-15. That margin would be the brightest part of the game for the Catamounts, as Western Carolina never gaining a lead over Flori-da State.
After back-to-back 3-pointers from the Semi-noles’ Christian Hunni-cutt, Florida State took a 34-28 lead into halftime.
FSU has relied heav-ily on individual offensive performances this season to gain victories. Against the Catamounts, the
’Noles would fi nally fi nd some offensive balance.
Alexa Deluzio led the Seminoles with 12 points, while Courtney Ward and Cierra Bravard fi nished with 11 and 10 points, re-spectively, to complement Deluzio’s play.
Freshman star Natasha Howard struggled, going just 1-for-7 on the day from the fi eld and fi nishing with two points. Florida State, however, found a decisive
advantage in their bench; the Seminoles outscored Western Carolina 25-11 in bench points. Coming off the bench, Chasity Clay-ton dominated the boards, grabbing a team-high seven rebounds while also chipping in with nine points.
Florida State contin-ued their success on the boards, outrebounding Western Carolina 42-34.
Florida State would
maintain at least a six-point advantage for most of the second half.
With just over 14 min-utes left to go in the game, Western Carolina pulled within three when Dia-mond Hunnicutt nailed a three for the Catamounts. Diamond Hunnicutt led Western Carolina with 13 points while also testing the Florida State defense inside, drawing nine free throw attempts.
Western Carolina’s brief glimmer of hope would be short-lived, as Florida State countered with a 3-pointer from Courtney Ward, extending the lead to 46-40.
The Catamounts would get as close as 52-46, but the Seminoles would close the game on a 16-2 run, polishing off the win.
“It was a fun trip com-ing up here to the moun-tains,” Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. “And the outcome was even better. Western Car-olina did a great job [Sat-urday]. They rebounded the basketball very well on the offensive end. They missed some free throws there at the end when we were in the double-bonus and that made the differ-ence. We then did our job on the offensive end and closed it out.”
ATTITUDE from 12
veia-Winslow’s arms and he returned the ball 24 yards for the touchdown.
“I thought I was staring at the ball for 30 seconds be-fore I started to run […] but nobody was in the way and I took it to the house,” Gouve-ia-Winslow said.
Ponder was dressed and ready to enter the game if needed, meaning that head coach Jimbo Fisher wasn’t scared to hand the reins to Manuel from the onset.
“[Manuel] made plays late, competed well, kept his poise and composure,” Fisher said, “I was very proud of the way he played in the game, I re-ally was.”
The only true mistake Man-uel made came early in the fourth quarter with Florida State hoping to cut a 15-point defi cit down to seven or eight.
Davon Morgan intercepted Manuel on a fourth-and-four play, returning the ball 24 yards and sending thousands of Seminole fans toward the exit ramps as a result.
“It was my fault,” Manuel said, “I take full blame for the interception […] I didn’t have it in my hands correctly like I should have and it got away from me.”
While Manuel’s perfor-mance was admirable in a replacement role, it paled in comparison to his counter-part on the opposite sideline.
Tyrod Taylor was a con-stant highlight reel for the Hokies, taking the game’s MVP honors with 263 passing
yards and four total touch-downs.
The pair of quarterbacks grew up within 15 miles of one another. Manuel starred at Bayside High while Taylor played for the rival Hampton Crabbers.
“Tyrod has always been that type of player to move around, [keep] key plays alive with his feet, and then still look downfi eld and deliver a good pass,” Manuel said. “He played awesome.”
Taylor’s performance made it hard to argue that, even had Ponder been healthy enough to play, that the results would have been any different.
Fisher never wanted to take the chance on Ponder making a dangerous injury even worse. Ponder’s elbow had to be drained of blood and excess fl uid for the fourth time this season late in the week.
“When you start draining blood, you’ve got to be a little careful,” Fisher said. “I wasn’t going to jeopardize his future for one football game.”
Manuel was far from fl aw-less, but it was easy to see why, despite the loss, the fu-ture is bright when he steps in full-time next season.
“It really excited me to see EJ in that position,” junior re-ceiver Bert Reed said, “He is a leader, even when we were down he was telling players to stay in the game […] he made a lot of strides this year from not even being a starter that are going to pay off next year.”

Kiss it goodbye.Not just the hopes of
spending New Year’s on South Beach getting ready to watch Florida State play in the Discover Orange Bowl, but also the days of Atlantic Coast Conference dominance being synonymous with Garnet and Gold.
Instead, the class of the ACC has a new color scheme—Maroon and Burnt Orange.
If Virginia Tech wasn’t already considered the new face of the confer-ence, they are now after their win over FSU in the ACC Championship Game
gave the Hokies their fourth conference title in only seven years of mem-bership.
I understand the Semi-noles haven’t been the dominant force they were for quite some time, but during those years of me-diocrity, it took time for a fellow ACC member to build the credentials to overthrow Florida State from its status as the con-ference’s poster-child. Af-ter all, you can’t just kick 12 league titles over a 14-year span to the curb at the fi rst sign of slippage—someone has to step up to the plate and prove them-selves worthy, and that’s exactly what Virginia Tech has done.
In head-to-head match-ups, Florida State is even with the Hokies at 2-2 since VT joined the league in 2004. Along with wins over each other in a pair of regular season match-ups, the two schools have also beaten each other in the conference title game, as the Hokies got revenge this past weekend after FSU defeated them in the inaugural ACC title game in 2005. But the compari-sons between the schools’ overall body of work in the conference since ’04 shows exactly why the torch has changed hands.
In addition to holding a 4-1 advantage in confer-ence titles, Virginia Tech is overwhelmingly ahead
of the Seminoles when it comes to conference win-ning percentage. The Hok-ies have a sparkling 49-11 (.816) all-time conference record, while Florida State is a mere 34-24 (.586) over that same time period.
If wins/losses and con-ference championships somehow aren’t enough to persuade you, maybe take a look at the number of all-conference perform-ers between the schools since the addition of the Hokies, where Tech head coach Frank Beamer has produced 54 All-ACC se-lections, compared to Florida State’s 30 in the last seven seasons.
FSU no longer the standard in Hokie-owned ACC
SEE ACC 14
quarterback that is ex-tremely mobile, talented, had the backing of a sta-ble of running backs and was the ACC Player of the Year for 2010, and then you consider how young the Seminole defense is and how long they’ve been operating under this new scheme, Saturday’s loss tastes less of “butt-kicking” and more of “growing pains.”
Football is a process. Things won’t be better overnight, but this year was defi nitely a step in the right direction.
Not to be lost in the shuf-fl e is sophomore quarter-back EJ Manuel. Yes, two ill-advised throws turned into interceptions, but for the better part of the game, Manuel was poised in the pocket and escaped when he had to.
Considering he has only been thrust into the start-ing role at a moment’s no-tice this season and still been very capable, I’m excited to see what he can do when he takes all of the fi rst-team reps and is the undisputed man un-der center next year.
The throw he made in the fourth quarter when he was being fl ushed out, stepped up in the pocket and threw a combina-tion touch/laser pass to Bert Reed through three Hokie defenders was a sight to behold. When he is handed the reins full-time, Manuel is going to be an absolute handful for opposing defenses.
Back to where we start-ed—garbage time of the fourth quarter. Florida State is taking timeouts on defense, hurrying up
on offense, and spiking the ball to stop the clock, much to the chagrin of Hokie fans, who, much to my chagrin, have now started invading my sec-tion, poisoning it with that ridiculous Hokie Pokie dance.
With seven seconds re-maining in the game, Chris Thompson scampered in for a touchdown and the ensuing Dustin Hopkins extra-point made it an 11-point game with seven seconds to go.
On the following kick-off, the Seminoles line up for an onside kick, hold-ing out hope for a recov-ery and two quick scores. Improbable? Yes. Impos-sible? As close to “yes” as you can get. But Jimbo Fisher said something about his philosophy in those last two minutes of the game on Saturday night.
At the start of his tenure, Fisher brought in a new staff and changed training and eating habits of the players. At the Monday press conference after the loss to North Carolina, I listened to Fisher explain that, while he was disap-pointed, and although he was still hopeful for the short-term, his eyes are on building a perennial powerhouse. He wants to bring a culture of winning back to Florida State.
On Saturday, he did not concede defeat. He did not allow his team to quit playing for the win, even though that win was seemingly out of reach. He fought and clawed up until the fi nal second. Go-ing forward, that’s a guy I want in my corner.
SPORTS FSVIEW & FLORIDA FLAMBEAU |DECEMBER 6, 2010PAGE 14
While The Seminoles (9-4, 6-3) kept things competi-tive for much of the game, the Hokies never trailed following the interception.
“Awful tough [loss],” FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “I thought Vir-ginia Tech did a very nice job. We had some opportu-nities to match them [but couldn’t].”
Florida State would play the Hokies even the rest of the half, going score-for-score with Virginia Tech and pulling within four at 21-17 when running back Ty Jones found the end
zone for the second of his three touchdowns on the night at the 5:48 mark of the second quarter.
The second half, howev-er, belonged to the Hokies from the start.
Taylor and the Virginia Tech offense gave the ’Noles fi ts all throughout the fi nal 30 minutes, ac-counting for 242 yards in the half and never punt-ing. Taylor, who was the unanimous MVP of the title game, led the Hokies to three touchdowns on their fi rst three possessions of the half and had a say in
each score, connecting on touchdown passes of 45 and 21 yards to Danny Co-ale and David Wilson, re-spectively, and rushing fi ve yards for a score on a third down to make the score 41-24.
“They were hot,” Fisher said of Virginia Tech. “We didn’t slow them down at all in the second half, and they played a great ballgame and deserved to win.”
Converting third downs was a recurring theme for Virginia Tech. The Hokies converted 13-of-18 third
downs on the night that included 10 straight third-down conversions at one point.
The Hokies’ success on third down irritated the Florida State defense throughout the game.
“Third and long, we thought we had them stopped, but we had missed assignments that gave them fi rst downs and touchdowns,” cornerback Xavier Rhodes said.
“It was just frustrating,” Moody added. “Some of them were mistakes and some of them were just
[Virginia Tech] making plays.”
Linebacker Nigel Brad-ham breathed some life back into the Seminoles when the extra point fol-lowing Taylor’s touchdown run was blocked and re-turned by Bradham for two points to keep it a two-score game at 41-26. FSU’s fate would be sealed, how-ever, when a fourth-down pass by Manuel intended for Willie Haulstead was in-tercepted by Virginia Tech’s Davon Morgan.
“Willie had it and I just overshot him,” Manuel
said. “[The interception] was my fault.”
Despite his two inter-ceptions, Manuel gave a determined effort on a big stage in relief of the injured Christian Ponder, who missed his second game this season due to an el-bow injury. Manuel threw for a career-high 288 yards and a touchdown.
“He was really confi dent,” wide receiver Bert Reed said of Manuel. “That’s one thing I love about the kid. He is a tough kid and he’s the type of quarterback that you’ll do anything for.”
HOPES from 12
How did this all hap-pen? This wasn’t the way it was supposed to work when the ACC ushered in VT with Miami in 2004 and Boston College in 2005.
The league was tailored toward the notion of the Seminoles and Hurricanes dueling it out in the ACC Championship Game on a yearly basis. It’s why FSU and Miami were put in separate divisions when the conference expanded to 12 teams. It’s why the ti-tle game’s location was in Florida for each of the fi rst fi ve years of existence, de-spite the fact they’re the only two teams in Florida and seven of 12 schools lie in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. It’s why the Or-ange Bowl created a for-mal alliance with the ACC champion in 2006.
But the conference has caught wind of this recent changing of the guard at the top of the league’s food chain. One has to look no further than the distance from the two schools and Charlotte, the location of this season’s ACC Cham-pionship. Blacksburg is a convenient 2.5 hours away from the Queen City, while Seminole fans—for those who opted to drive rather than fl y—trekked 8.5 hours. The unequal distance showed in the game’s attendance, as Bank of America Stadium was plastered with Hokie
paraphernalia, while the dedicated Florida State fans who made the trip accounted for roughly 30
percent of the crowd.The good news for
Florida State is they can reclaim what was once
theirs in a short period of time. With what is sure to be a preseason top-10 team in 2011, FSU should
be favored to win the ACC for an unprecedented 13th time. Even if the Semi-noles have what it takes
to reclaim the ACC crown, don’t count on me dub-bing Florida State as the league’s “new” power.
ACC from 13
Melina Vastola/FSViewFlorida State, as pictured, has been trying to chase down Virginia Tech and reclaim their status as the class of the ACC since the Hokies joined the confer-ence in 2004.
“Visnja and Stephanie played great, and [Jekateri-na] came off the bench and played great as well,” FSU head coach Chris Poole said. “We weren’t sure if we were going to play her because she’s been sick, but we’re thankful that we
did.”Jenna Romanelli also
contributed in a big way for the ’Noles, adding 18 kills in the winning effort. Duygu Duzceler had a season-high 31 assists for FSU, and Pa-tricia Figueiredo chipped in with 16 assists and 12 digs.
The Seminoles took the fi rst set before dropping the second set. FSU recovered nicely, however, taking the next two sets to close out the match.
Poole was proud that his team was able to pull out the victory even though
they didn’t play their best match.
“Our girls have shown character all year,” Pool said. “We’ve had to make adjustments in the middle of the year, and they con-tinue to come back and step up. Even in matches
that we’ve lost, we’ve hung in there. We didn’t play great overall [Friday], but we continue to fi nd our-selves.”
With the victory, Florida State moves on to the sec-ond round to face the win-ner of a fi rst-round match
between No. 1 seed Florida and South Carolina State.
The win continued the Seminoles’ domination of the Southern Conference. FSU is now a perfect 12-0 all-time against teams from the SoCon and 3-0 overall against Georgia Southern.

SAMUEL BERKOWITZ Staff Writer
Merry Christmas! Hey, get that snowman out of here! It happens every year; a festive Christmas display is put up in town somewhere and some jerk calls the city coun-cil and kicks up a stink about the red herring of separation of church and state. To be clear, the Constitution pro-vides that the govern-ment may not compel the citizens to subscribe to a designated state faith. It doesn’t say that P.C. jackasses have the right to never have their paper-thin sensibilities offended by having to see such abominations as a Santa or a Frosty or pretty lights. It is amaz-ing how atheists, in par-ticular, who are so cer-tain in the absence of a God and so convinced of the irrationality of reli-gion, are so discomfited at the thought of using the word “Christmas” in relation to any festivi-ties at a public school; never mind that over 95 percent of the parents at a particular school cel-ebrate Christmas.
It may surprise you—it did me, anyway—to learn that Christmas bans date as far back as the Puritans. According to the Massachusetts
Travel Journal, the Pu-ritan settlers decried Christmas celebrations and banned them be-cause, “First of all, it reminded them of the Church of England and the old-world customs, which they were trying to escape. Second, they didn’t consider the holi-day a truly religious day. Dec. 25 wasn’t select-ed as the birth date of Christ until several cen-turies after his death. Third, the holiday cel-ebration usually includ-ed drinking, feasting, and playing games—all things which the Puri-tans frowned upon.”
See? There’s something that
liberals and extreme re-ligious conservatives can agree on: taking the fun out of something
beautiful out of their own myopia.
And in the present day, as reported on FOX, “A school in Flor-ida has not only banned Christmas—but every-thing associated with the Christian holiday. Teachers at Heathrow Elementary School have been ordered to banish images of Santa Claus from classrooms—along with traditional Christ-mas colors like red and green. ‘You can’t use red and green,’ one outraged parent told WESH. ‘It’s ridiculous.’ The parent, who serves as a volun-teer room mother, said she was recently given a list of guidelines that listed the holiday re-strictions. She said the basic theme of the let-ter was, ‘We don’t want to offend anyone who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or the Christian beliefs.’ ”
And herein lies the crux of the immaturity that is the hallmark of American liberalism: The perceived right to not be offended.
Never mind the fact
that your average leftist is in almost as perpetual a state of taking offense as Islamic terrorists put-ting down their bomb belts and reading car-toons.
They are like toddlers whining to mommy that someone stuck their tongue out at them.
Can we add some white snow to the red and green, call it the Italian flag, and con-coct a diversity event for the month of Decem-ber? Italian culture has contributed infinitely more to today’s world than has liberalism and political correctness, so it is not outside the realm of possibility that Italians wouldn’t mind moving the Italian heri-tage month from Octo-ber to December in the interest of shutting P.C. Grinches up. Of course, then they’d say you were being exclusionary for promoting something as demonic as a European culture.
When I was a kid, the predominantly Jewish town of Marblehead, Mass., ceased to allow
Christmas decorations in town.
This irked non-Jews, and to some extent Jews as well in the area, but the fact is it is some-thing that was decided upon with the consen-sus of the majority of a locality, not by edict from a select few social engineers.
A Jewish columnist in the Washington Post recently wrote, “More than 80 percent of Amer-icans are Christian, and probably 95 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas. Christmas Day is an official federal holiday.”
Indeed, many people who subscribe mini-mally or not at all to Christian doctrine—even some atheists and agnost ics—celebrate Christmas. Not to sound trite, but it’s called hav-ing fun, comporting yourself with a bit more generous spirit than you might for most of the year, enjoying time with friends and family and getting presents for them.
No one is being com-
pelled to worship Jesus, and if in a predominant-ly Christian country we are supposed to hang our heads in shame if we don’t allow Muslim prayer spaces at the Pentagon, non-Chris-tians of all stripes can pretty much turn the other cheek, as it were. John Stuart Mill’s de-fense of minority rights from a tyranny of the majority in On Liberty is as powerful and valid today as it was when it was written, but it is applicable more to pre-venting the enacting of unjust prohibitive laws, such as those govern-ing marijuana use, than it is to the guarantee of minority status as some-thing sacrosanct.
Localities should be vested with the ability to easily vote periodi-cally on whether or not to allow Christmas dec-orations.
That said, to those who are and those who are not fans of Santa and other such things—Merry Christmas, happy New Year and good luck with finals!
Against the Grain
Ciao, annual gift man!
ERIK EMBREYContributing Writer
So, when’s the last time you updated your anti-virus? (I can already feel Apple users smiling condescendingly. You just wait; your day of reckoning will come.)
It’s the question Iran has found itself asking recently, with an attack that hit its nuclear cen-trifuges. It’s called the Stuxnet worm, and it was engineered for one specific target, which is unusual for any type of malware.
It also operates dif-ferently than how you traditionally think mal-ware would; most usu-ally think of credit card fraud or key loggers that steal your passwords. Stuxnet was created to cause actual physical damage to nuclear cen-trifuges.
How does it work? Stuxnet targets a spe-cific kind of industrial
control software manu-factured by Siemens that is designed for a specific type of indus-trial server.
Even at this level of specificity, it will only activate itself on specif-ic brands of equipment, and only if there is a specific amount of that equipment currently present.
Basically, the level of specificity this worm had in targeting would be to find a natural red-head in Einstein Bros. Bagels drinking Star-bucks while their friend runs to the library on a Segway to make copies on a Wednesday.
Oh, and there has to be a double rainbow outside in the middle of a heavy thunderstorm. It’s very specific.
And, since it is able to identify any servers it finds itself on, if it isn’t the proper type, it will remain silent and not activate as to not alert
the user of the system that something is amiss. It will then quietly copy itself onwards and onto any removable media, such as flash drives, in an attempt to find its way onto a system with the target parameters. It has been equated to being a sort of key, one that won’t turn until it finds the actual lock that it was designed for.
It’s working this way that allows it to avoid detection until it finds itself on the targeted system, wherein it will activate.
It’s literally a trained server assassin.
Now, this did happen over in Iran, and they claim that it had no last-ing damage.
So why should we care?
Think about it for a minute; a type of mal-ware that targets spe-cific physical systems. Now apply something like that targeted toward
a regional power grid, or any other system that holds sway over a large amount of people in the U.S.
Up to this point, most malware has worked in a way that is visible to a large amount of people within a short period of time, and, consequently, fixes happen within a somewhat reasonable amount of time. Most malware won’t usually be written with intent to cause hardware dam-age, either.
The way Stuxnet was written caused a lot less visibility and, conse-quently, a much longer time frame for it to find its target without inter-ference.
With the recent WikiLeaks release, I think now is as good of a time as any to recon-sider all the aspects of cyber security, and not just who has permit-ted access. Think about how much stuff we have
online now in this coun-try, both public and in terms of infrastructure. All the financial markets are completely online now; there are security protocols in place, but imagine, for a moment, that a program man-aged to work past them. Anything sudden that affected the entire mar-ket could most likely be restored to a previous state, but what about something that specifi-cally targets?
And this worm was able to copy onto re-movable media, so be-ing not connected to the Internet is no longer as ultimately secure as it used to be.
Maybe the safest solu-tion would be to switch the U.S. over to Apple. Then, when all our com-puters are infected with these silent killers, we can still admire how glossy the screens are.

NICK SELLERS Assistant Sports Editor
The pair of red fl ags with black squares fl ap-ping in the fall wind over the Al Dunlap Practice Field declared something Florida State fans have been looking forward to since Sept. 7, 2009: It’s fi -nally Miami week again.
Fans of the game often point to Florida as FSU’s biggest rival when, in fact, the rivalry with Mi-ami has been longer-run-ning and has produced some of the more painful losses and triumphant victories for the Semi-noles.
Florida State (4-1, 2-0 ACC) and Miami have been playing since 1951 and on an annual basis since 1972. Miami owns a 31-23 advantage in the series and has won eight of the 11 matchups since the start of the new mil-lennium, including a 2004 victory in the FedEx Or-
ange Bowl. “You go in your career
and you get involved in some of the great tradi-tional rivalries in college football and you feel very blessed,” FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “When you’re a kid watching TV, you grow up [thinking], ‘Well I wish I could be a part of that,’ and this is one of them that you talk about all the time.”
When the Seminoles and Hurricanes meet on Saturday, it will be a primetime meeting with conference champion-ship implications.
The probable favorites in their respective divi-sions, Saturday’s meet-ing could be a poten-tial preview of the ACC Championship game in December, barring a resurgence by Virginia Tech in the Coastal Divi-sion or the emergence of a clear challenger to FSU in the Atlantic.
Florida State’s offense
comes into the game in quite the offensive rhythm. The now veri-table three-headed mon-ster of Jermaine Thom-as, Chris Thompson and Ty Jones in the backfi eld have the Seminoles aver-aging 208.6 rushing yards a game, good for 26th in the nation.
“Obviously we want to keep establishing the passing game, and de-velop it,” quarterback Christian Ponder said. “But right now, the run-ning game’s working and we’ll try to take advan-tage of it.”
The ’Noles will be fac-ing a Miami defense that is fi rst in the nation in tackles for loss and sec-ond only to Florida State in sacks. A key matchup will be the experience of the Seminole offensive line (with or without starting left tackle An-drew Datko) against an

Many publications and websites have been touting, seem-ingly on a nonstop cycle, The Social Net-
work as “the story of Facebook.” But saying that, really, is a little misleading and unfair to the film. We may or may not now know the real “story” behind this thing that rapidly became everyone’s favorite love-hate re-lationship, but The So-
cial Network is, thank-fully, more a character study of its co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, here played by the always-adorable Jesse Eisen-berg (Zombieland).
It’s hardly a secret now the way Zucker-berg, America’s most enigmatic entrepre-neur, stepped on a few heads on his way to the top—hell, it’s on the poster. In the
film, at least, it all be-gins at Harvard, with another rejection by a girl, a drunken Live-journal session and a similarly drunken website for revenge called “Face Mash” that ends up posting tens of thousands of hits in just hours. Un-der the guise of creat-ing a “match.com for Harvard students” for the rich, overachiev-ing and annoyingly handsome Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer), Zuckerberg then begins to create what would be known as “The Facebook” along with best friend and newly minted CFO Eduardo Saverin (new-comer Andrew Gar-field, who will soon be our next Peter Parker). After moving to Cali-fornia at the advice of
notorious, charismatic, slightly crazy Napster creator Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake)—and against the advice of Saverin—Zucker-berg and a crack team of heavy-drinking pro-grammers expand and develop a site that would, at a pace that would have been un-believable if it hadn’t have happened only a few years ago, gain millions upon millions of users.
Flash-forward a few years, as the film does sporadically, and the Winklevoss twins and Saverin are both taking Zuckerberg to court in high-profile lawsuits, which would both fa-mously end with un-fathomably gigantic out-of-court cash set-tlements. The Social
Network, then, isn’t so much the story of Fa-
cebook, a cultural un-avoidability that, yes, I’m currently logged into, so much as it is a story of how, in try-ing to create a unified social interconnected-ness, someone ends up destroying his re-lationships with any-one who’s ever actu-ally bothered to talk to him.
Eisenberg is an abso-lute perfect choice for Zuckerberg: Eisenberg can play insufferable a**hole all he wants, but can also play it with enough awkward com-passion and puppy-dog innocence that he can keep us sympathizing, somehow, every step of the way—with an-other actor, I’m afraid most would walk out of theaters saying, “Well, great, we just

Margot and the Nucle-ar So and So’s is a folksy chamber pop ensemble from Indianapolis, Ind., known for their multi-dimensional and some-times bittersweet sound. In 2004, singer/songwriter Richard Edwards and gui-tarist Andy Fry (of Archer Avenue and The Academy, respectively) joined forces to establish the band along with six other members. Together, they released their debut album, The
Dust of Retreat, in 2006 with Standard Recording Company and split their sophomore album as Ani-
mal! and Not Animal with Epic Records in 2007. Af-ter making some changes to the lineup and leaving Epic Records, the newly minted six-piece released their third full-length, Buz-
zard, via their own label, Mariel Recordings, on
