The Florida State Uni-versity Student Gov-ernment Association is charged with represent-ing the student body. Throughout student gov-ernment are numerous leaders who work daily to progress the campus and enhance the Seminole ex-perience.
There are three sepa-rate branches of SGA: Ex-ecutive, Legislative and Judicial. The head of the Executive Branch is Avi Assidon, student body president.
Student Body President: Avi Assidon
“It’s always hard to sim-plify what being student body president is,” said Assidon.
Assidon was elected president in the spring semester. Majoring in bi-ology, he aspires to be in the medical fi eld—he interned in the surgical department at the Univer-sity of Chicago. Assidon has been studying for the Medical College Admis-sions Test (MCAT). Assi-
don is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and is from Sunrise, FLA.
“The main thing the student body president does is represent the stu-dent body through a lot of university-wide commit-tees,” said Assidon.
According to Assi-don, he serves on ap-proximately 15 different boards, such as the FSU Board of Trustees—where he votes and gives input on all of the major decisions pertaining to the university—and the Student Technology Fee Committee, which, in the past year, allocated extra funds to keep computer labs on campus open un-til later hours.
Through his position, Assidon feels that giving

Ask anyone around Florida State University and they’ll tell you that parking is a nightmare. What they might not tell you is how much improvement trans-portation has made in recent years.
There are over 9,300 student parking spaces at FSU. This includes parking at Heritage Grove, the Law School and the Alumni Center. There are six bus routes that serve FSU stu-
dents: Garnet, Gold, Renegade, Tomahawk, Osceola and Heri-tage Grove. The buses are free for students.
Over 2,600 parking spaces have been installed on campus in the last few years.
According to Hunter Hughes, director of Parking and Trans-portation Services, there has been defi nite improvement since before most current un-dergraduate students were at FSU.
Parking vs. Riding the bus
Joseph La Belle/FSViewAccording to Hunter Hughes, parking director, all parking garages on campus will have these car trackers to help relieve parking congestion.
Editor’s note: FSView & Florida Flambeau Senior Staff Writer Karlanna Lewis is studying abroad for the summer in Valencia, Spain. Without much of an outlet for students to share their expeirences from overseas, Karlanna reports on the op-portunities and experiences students in Valencia can have.
B y the time they gradu-ate from a university, at least one out of every 100 American students
will have studied abroad. Al-though the English-speaking United Kingdom is the most popular destination, Spain is another attractive option for Seminoles and other Florid-ians.
Studying in Spain may help
expose students to a culture that shaped their history, but has since been ob-scured by the heavy empha-sis of Northern European tra-ditions in the United States.Catalina Milan is a native of Spain; she is also the student services coordinator for FSU Valencia students.
“I haven’t lived in Florida that long, but I think it’s really sur-prising how much the American culture has forgotten its Spanish heritage, and really built on the Northern European heritage,” said Milan. “I think it would be good if the U.S. remembered more of their Spanish heritage, because I think it develops a different sense of society—re-lationships especially.”

his student opinion is cru-cial.
“Being able to weigh in and give student input in a consistent way is really important for all of the different areas of cam-pus that impact student life in a lot of different ways, from parking, to student technology,” said Assidon.
As to be expected, As-sidon’s job accumulates with his studies and cre-ates minimal free time. Managing time with his other responsibilities can sometimes be a struggle. Though being president is a time consuming job, Assidon enjoys it. He particularly enjoys being able to work with a di-verse body of people.
“I work with students of all ages, administra-tion of all ages and back-grounds and different education,” said Assidon.
Student Body Vice President: Dayne
HutchinsonWorking alongside
President Assidon is Dayne Hutchinson, vice president. A senior ma-joring in political science and interdisciplinary so-cial science, Hutchinson is originally from Jamai-ca. Hutchinson moved to the states around age 10 and now lives in Miami.
As student body vice president, Hutchinson has various different roles. His main job de-scription is to work hand in hand with the SGA cabinet, oversee cabinet initiatives and to oversee the fi ve agencies on cam-pus: the Black Student Union, the Women’s Cen-ter, the Hispanic Latino Student Union, the Asian American Student Union and the Pride Student Union. He also oversees the Freshman Leadership Institute, which provides freshmen with skills for being professional and the tools to be successful Seminole leaders.
“I’m applying to go to grad school and want to go to Michigan State for higher education and
student affairs,” said Hutchinson. “I think my position as student body vice president is going to help me a lot when I apply to grad school be-cause I want to deal with students and student affairs. Student govern-ment is an entity of stu-dent affairs, so it goes hand in hand with deal-ing with students.”
In his position, Hutchin-son said that the most rewarding part is getting things accomplished that were promised.
“The GPS system in the buses was one of our pri-mary platform goals with the Ignite Party and is scheduled to be done by the end of fall semester,” said Hutchinson.
When Hutchinson is not busy with work, he enjoys reading. His fa-
vorite book is The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson. Hutchinson is also a member of Alpha Phi Al-pha Fraternity, Inc.
SGA Senate President: Caroline
ChanceCaroline Chance is in
charge of the Legisla-tive Branch of SGA. She
was born in Char lot te , NC, and is a senior ma-joring in po-litical sci-ence. This year she is a p p l y i n g to FSU’s
Urban and Regional Planning graduate pro-gram, through which she hopes to pursue a career in commercial planning. Chance is also a member
of the Delta Zeta soror-ity.
“Senate has about a $12.4 million budget,” said Chance. “Our main job as the Senate is to al-locate that money out.”
Chance said there are 80 student senators in SGA, and one of her re-sponsibilities is to over-see the weekly Senate meetings—not always an easy task.
“The most difficult part is directing the Sen-ate and keeping them calm while still being viewed as respected,” said Chance. “I honestly think I’ve done a good job of that, because it can be difficult with 80 people. It’s not difficult to where I dread it, but difficult to where I enjoy the challenge of it.”
Chance previously served as Senate presi-dent pro-tempore before obtaining her current position.
Since Senate president is elected each fall se-mester, Chance is near-ing the end of her term. She will be exiting office in late October or early November.
SGA Senate President Pro-Tempore: Anwar
ThomasWorking side-by-side
with Senate President
Chance is Anwar Thom-as. A senior, Thomas is majoring in Business Marketing and Business
M a n a g e -ment with a minor in E n g l i s h . Along with SGA Vice P r e s i d e n t H u t c h i n -son, Thom-as is also a
member of Alpha Phi Al-pha Fraternity, Inc.
“Our student govern-ment is formulated just like the United States government in terms of that it’s broken down into three branches,” said Thomas. “I’m the second in charge for the Legislative Branch of our student government, which is our student Senate.”
In the case of the Sen-ate president’s absence, Thomas steps in and chairs the Senate meet-ings. Thomas also chairs the Rules and Calen-dar committee and the Homecoming Alloca-tions Committee, which grants and allocates funds for homecoming events.
Entering his senior year, Thomas hopes to soon go to law school and feels confident that his experience in SGA will aid him in his future aspirations.
“Lawyers have to be articulate, they have to be able to express their ideas and they have to be able to deal with a di-versity of circumstances to reach a desired out-come, and that is very similar to what we have to do in student govern-ment,” said Thomas. “I believe it’s a very simi-lar correlation in terms of working with the law and working with stat-utes.”
Thomas has been play-ing the saxophone since the fifth grade, and said that he loves music, and enjoys attending the FSU College of Music’s con-certs whenever he gets a chance.

In the monthlong me-dia spectacle that was Casey Anthony’s murder trial—dubbed O.J. 2.0 by many—FSU had it’s share of the spotlight.
Sally Karioth, Ph.D., R.N., professor in the Florida State University College of Nursing, testi-fi ed in the Casey Anthony trial.
Karioth was in London when the subpoena came from Anthony’s defense for Karioth to testify about grief.
“I said to someone, ‘Who is Casey Anthony?’ because London wasn’t covering it at all,” said Karioth. “We didn’t even know there was a trial.”
While being accepted as an expert in grief, which her curriculum vitae will prove, the prosecution ob-jected over 20 times in 24 minutes of questioning.
Those objections only came during the accep-tance of her expertise. Once the judge decided Karioth was to be accept-ed as an expert on grief did questioning about grief actually begin.
At one point, the de-fense objected to the vocalization of the pros-ecution’s objections. This objection, of course, was overruled.
“I didn’t expect to be happy about [being ob-jected to], despite the fact that I was really, very un-important to this trial,” said Karioth. “I didn’t know her; I didn’t know any of the people—I was really just talking about grief. I’m sure they didn’t
want anyone talking about something that could hu-manize the situation one bit, so he’s doing his job.
“There was certainly a lot of angst associated with what was going on. I don’t know if it had as much to do with her—though that’s where it was directed—as it had to do with everything that’s go-ing on in the country right now.”
Karioth said that, with so many people able to follow the trial, it could have had something to do with the amount of unem-ployed people there are.
“I think if you’re a grown man and you can sit in front of a TV all day and watch a trial, it probably means you don’t have a job,” Karioth said. “I think that kind of mass hysteria
feeds on itself.”Karioth said Anthony
could be taking a lot of so-ciety’s anger because she was the only viable outlet people could fi nd.
“I think she took a lot of heat for what’s going on in society right now,” said Karioth. “I don’t know that they’d be able to ar-ticulate that or if they’d be introspective enough to say all of that.”
In the later portion of Karioth’s testimony, the prosecuting lawyer, Jeff Ashton, asked her—rath-er forcefully—“can you give me anything that is inconsistent with grief? Any type of activity, any type of attitude, any type of demeanor that you would agree is inconsis-tent with grief.”
“Everything falls into
a category somewhere along the line from patho-logical grief responsive to healthy grief responsive,” Karioth responded.
“There’s a real close bond between mad and
sad, and they look very different, but they are ac-tually both responses to a loss issue,” Karioth said in her testimony.
“There isn’t one way [to grieve],” Karioth said in her interview. “Grief is idiosyncratic, which means that everybody does it differently. One of his last questions, in which he was very put out with me—he was so disgusted with me he could hardly stand it: ‘So, Dr. Karioth, are you telling me that every hu-man emotion could be an expression of grief?’ And yep; that’s what I’m saying. Healthy people seldom need grief thera-pists. 99 percent of the world who are healthy have very healthy coping mechanisms.”
Nursing teacher talks Casey Anthony FSU expert Sally Karioth explains the view from the stand
Red Huber/Associated PressDefense witness, grief expert and FSU nursing professor Dr. Sally Karioth, testifi es during the Casey Anthony trial at the Orange County Courthouse, Wednesday, June 29 in Orlando. Anthony, 25, was recently released from jail after being acquited of the murder of her child, Caylee Anthony. Karioth testifi ed on the expression of ‘healthy grief,’ at one point acknowledging that there is no one way everyone expresses their grief.

Although there has been substantial improvement in recent years, 9,300 park-ing spaces still only trans-lates to one parking space for every 3.125 students with registered permits. According to those num-bers, there are over 29,300 registered student drivers on campus.
“Garage six will get us down to one space for ev-ery 2.718 students,” said Hughes.
Hughes said this is rep-resentative of the ebb and fl ow of students who park on campus; there will rare-ly ever be all 29,000 stu-dents on campus.
Garage six, being built next to the old intramu-ral fi elds, will house 1,100 student parking spaces, said Hughes. The garages on the “outskirts” of cam-pus—Spirit Way, Call and St. Augustine Streets—are all commuter lots.
This means there is no overnight parking in these garages. Taking into ac-count all commuter lots around campus, there are only 4,479 overnight per-missible parking spaces on FSU’s campus. Hughes said this was the main rea-son for the Seminole Ex-press.
The Seminole Express was introduced in 2007. Many students in 2007 did not want to pay the in-creased transportation fee because they didn’t think the Seminole Express would pick up the way it has.
The Seminole Express runs off-campus, running routes that go by major student housing complex-es. The Garnet route, ac-cording to StarMetro, is the busiest on-campus route, and drives up High Road, to Tharpe Street, and then
comes back down Ocala Road.
“The Seminole Express buses, which are operated by StarMetro, are paid for by that transportation and access fee that every stu-dent is assessed per credit hour,” said Hughes.
Three years ago, SGA presented students with an option to increase the transportation fee by 15 cents per credit hour. The increase would have ex-panded bus service into the nighttime hours; buses would have run until 10 p.m., which is only 30 min-utes before the Night Nole begins its route.
Hughes said the over-whelming student re-sponse was “no.”
Hughes said that more reliable passenger counters will be installed on each bus, Garnet route fi rst, so Transportation Services can more accurately know what routes are busiest at what times.
“Right now, we’re count-
ing on the bus driver,” said Hughes. “We’re relying on them to not only drive but to be aware of the volume of students on their bus-es.”
Bus drivers on the buses manually input the number of students who are step-ping onto their bus. This is particularly unreliable at the peak travel times and stops (e.g., the Union, Westcott and the Univer-sity Center).
Heather Teter, marketing specialist for StarMetro, said she knows how stu-dents are feeling about the transportation services on campus. She said she re-ceives calls regularly from students who are waiting on their Seminole Express bus.
“We realize the demand,” Teter said. “We’re on the buses; we know they’re at capacity. I tell students to call Parking and Trans-portation [Services]. Show them that there is a de-mand; then they’ll be more
likely to come to the table with some money.”
Teter said StarMetro wants to expand service for students, but expan-sion of the Seminole Ex-press requires funds to come from the university.
“We cannot expand ser-vice—that includes adding buses and/or adding hours of services—unless FSU is going to pay for it,” said Teter. “It’s like a balancing act—the hard situation we’re in. We want to pro-vide better service, but we also have to have the funds to provide that better ser-vice.”
This could become an increase in the student transportation fee. It is not likely for SGA to propose another 15 cent increase. An increase would likely be slightly more.
If SGA were to present a 30 cent increase per credit hour, the average 15 credit hour student would pay an extra $4.50 for increased bus service.
Students charged with underage drinking in
Degraff HallTuesday, July 12, 3:08
a.m.: An FSUPD offi cer responded to a call in ref-erence to underage drink-ing that was taking place during the early morning hours in Degraff Hall on the FSU campus.
A night staff worker reported the incident af-ter responding to a noise complaint on the fi rst fl oor of the hall. When the night staffer made contact with the residents of the room, he reported seeing several bottles of alcohol inside the room.
When the FSUPD offi -cer arrived at the room, he questioned the residents about the reported alco-hol containers. The resi-dents told the offi cer that they had been drinking earlier, but that there was no more alcohol inside their room at that time.
According to police re-ports, the offi cer asked—and was granted permis-sion—to search the dorm room for any remaining alcohol. While conduct-ing the search, the offi cer found an empty bottle of liquor inside the freezer and also found a cold bot-tle of Parrot Bay Coconut Rum on the fl oor. The bot-tle of rum was about one quarter full.
The residents claimed that there were other par-ties in the room earlier while they were drinking and that they didn’t know who the alcohol belonged to, but because it was their room, they would take responsibility for its possession.
Both residents of the room were issued a Notice to Appear for Possession of Alcohol by a Person Under Twenty-One Years of Age, and the remaining alcohol was disposed at the scene.
Three attempted burglaries reported in FSU parking garage on
TuesdayMonday, July 11, 5:41
p.m.: On Monday after-noon, an FSUPD offi cer was dispatched to Parking Garage No. 3 on the Flori-da State campus—located on Spirit Way—in refer-ence to a vehicle burglary.
The offi cer made con-tact with an FSU stu-dent who had reportedly parked his vehicle on the second fl oor of the garage at 8:30 a.m. When he re-turned to his vehicle at ap-proximately 5:30 p.m., he discovered damage to his driver’s side door lock, but it didn’t appear that the subjects were able to gain entry into his vehicle.
Shortly after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, dispatch instruct-ed another FSUPD offi cer to make contact with an FSU employee in refer-ence to another burglary in Parking Garage No. 3. The employee reported that he had parked his Chevrolet Tahoe on the fi rst fl oor of the garage at approxi-
mately 8:45 a.m. When he returned to his car at 4:49 p.m., he discovered dam-age to his driver’s side door. Someone had tried to punch the key hold as-sembly, and then tried to pull the door handle out when they were unable to gain entry. Ultimately, the subjects failed to gain en-try into the vehicle.
At 2:06 p.m. on the same day, another FSUPD offi -cer was advised to contact another FSU employee in reference to an attempted burglary of his vehicle, which was also parked in Parking Garage No. 3 the previous day. According to police reports, the em-ployee parked his Ford F-150 on the fi rst fl oor of the garage at 8:30 a.m. on July 11. He returned to his vehicle at 1:15 p.m. and used remote entry to access his vehicle and proceeded to leave the garage. At approximately 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday, the employee noticed that his key hole assembly had been punched in. It ap-peared that no one had been able to gain entry into the vehicle, and no items were missing.
All three of the victims were offered Victim’s Rights Brochures, but de-clined. There are no sus-pects in any of the cases.
Underage student charged with
Possession of Alcohol after leaving Potbelly’s
Wednesday, July 13, 1:45 a.m.: Early Wednesday morning, an FSUPD of-fi cer was on patrol in the FSU commuter lot along College Avenue. While on patrol, the offi cer ob-served a male walking through the parking lot carrying a clear cup con-taining a tan liquid.
According to police re-port, the subject appeared to be off-balance as he was walking through the lot, and also spit on a pick-up truck as he was walk-ing past it.
When the offi cer made contact with the male, he was found to be a 20-year-old student at Florida State. The beverage in his hand was found to be a mixed alcoholic beverage, although the subject re-fused to identify the type of alcohol in the drink. The student indicated that the drink was forced upon him as he was leaving Potbelly’s, although he ap-peared to be enjoying the drink before being con-fronted by the offi cer, ac-cording the police report.
Due to his uncoopera-tive nature, the student was placed in handcuffs while the offi cer fi nished his Notice to Appear for Possession of Alcohol by a Person Under Twenty-One Years of Age.
A sample of the mixed drink was taken as evi-dence, and the remainder of the drink was destroyed at the scene.

Nestled inside Tallahas-see’s Attorney General building is the Florida Com-mission on the Status of Women (FCSW). The non-partisan board has dedicat-ed many years of service to educating Florida’s women on ways they can improve their lives and help their families. The group focus-es on various issues like health care, women veter-ans, women’s fi nances and small business owners.
Led by Executive Chair Nancy Acevedo, the 22 FCSW commissioners re-search various issues af-fecting women and make recommendations based on their fi ndings. Their rec-ommendations go to the governor, his cabinet and the state legislature in the
form of an annual report. Created in 1991, the FCSW aims to empower women to achieve their fullest poten-tial and recognize women’s accomplishments.
This year, the organiza-tion is set to present their 15th annual report, “Politi-cal Pearls: A Comprehen-sive Analysis on Florida Women in Public Offi ce.” The report is expected to analyze trends and explain new issues affecting wom-en who hold a public offi ce in Florida. Typically, one of the most notable develop-ments occured in elective offi ces—particularly state legislatures and congress—where women represent 20 percent of lawmakers.
Kelly Sciba, executive di-rector for FCSW, said that women should be more in-volved.
“It’s not about politics,
it’s just about getting more women into the legislative and lawmaking process.” said Kelly Sciba.“The fact that we have a Florida Women’s Hall of Fame and we recognize the contribu-tions women have made to the state each year, speaks loudly.”
Kelly is just one of the fi ve women who work at the FCSW. Kelly’s primary job is to contribute to the organization’s projects and committee meetings. She also hopes to educate wom-en and improve their status in the state’s legislature.
In the works for this year is “The 2012 Project,” a na-tional, non-partisan cam-paign aimed at increasing the number of women in Congress and state legisla-tures.
After the 2010 elections, only 25 percent of state
legislators and 22 percent of the U.S. Congressper-sons are women. Those numbers, when compared to the female population in the U.S., saw decline for the fi rst time in thirty years.
The election of 2012 presents an opportunity to increase the number of women in offi ce. Following the 2010 census, every con-gressional and state legisla-tive district in the country will be redrawn, creating new, open seats. The goal for the 2012 project is to exceed the 1992 high of 24 new congresswomen, regain 81 state legislative seats and add 50 more women legislators.
The FCSW is working on the details of the campaign for the state, but there have been other states that have studied the redistricting process and the detrimen-
tal effects it imposes on women in offi ce.
In a written statement to the Florida Senate and House Committees on Reapportionment, Deb-bie Walsh—director of the Eagleton Institue of Poli-tics at Rutgers—showed redistricting in New Jer-sey, which is the fi rst state to complete its legislative redistricting. The state’s legislature there is 28 per-cent female, but as a result of redistricting women will make up at least 57 percent of the legislators who are set to retire. Walsh com-pared the New Jersey re-sults to Florida’s situation.
“Although Florida has done better than many states, it still fails to repre-sent women in anywhere near their proportions in the population,” Walsh said.I encourage you to ensure
that women incumbents present only through hard-won progress are treated fairly in the redistricting process,” Walsh said.
FCSW encourages wom-en to participate in the or-ganization. The next quar-terly meeting will be held Sept. 10 in Ft. Lauderdale. They are expecting multiple prominent speakers to ad-dress young women about leadership and achieving their potential.
FCSW has a presence at Tallahassee Community College, where the group holds regular, open meet-ings and events to educate the public. The organiza-tion also has connections with women’s programs and women’s studies at other universities through-out the city of Tallahassee. For more information, go to www.fcsw.net.

titude of warmth and so-cialization—not to men-tion a physical way of interaction and commu-nication that expresses it-self in the culture’s music and dance.
“When I was living in Florida, what shocked me the most is that people called each other friends and maybe they’d see each other once every two weeks,” said Milan. “In Spanish and Mediter-ranean cultures, because of the warmer tempera-tures, it’s super important that you meet up with your friends at least once or twice a week. It makes people happier because you just get it all out. The way we communicate in Spain and in the Mediter-ranean is something that should be worked at in the U.S. a little more.”
Hispanic culture may be prominent in Florida, but that culture is more Latin-American than Spanish. Most Floridians are fi rst exposed to Spain through this modifi ed version of a traditional heritage.
“In Florida there are so many Hispanic people be-cause of the location, so
I think it’s recuperating a lot of the already funneled Spanish culture, and that is growing a lot in the U.S.,” said Milan. “It’s not really Spain but sort of the ghost of Spain on top of Spanish cultures. I did see a lot of the food, the music, restaurants—look at what you’re eating. The food in the South is all Latin-American infl u-enced, like Tex-Mex.”
Because of the impor-tant connection between Florida and Spain in his-tory, alert students may fi nd other experiences with the culture. The pro-gram advisor for FSU stu-dents in Valencia, Margo Yates, has experienced a different kind of royalty than most in the U.S. are familiar with. Yates is a graduate student in for-eign and second language education.
“I got to go have lunch in Pensacola with the king and queen of Spain,” said Yates. “It was a big ban-quet. They gave a speech and talked about the heri-tage of Spain in Pensaco-la. The fi rst part of the day they did a parade through the town, and for the lun-
cheon he talked about be-ing happy to be back and to share the culture with Florida.”
For students who are curious about the “real Spain,” FSU offers a year-round study program in Valencia, attracting stu-dents from Florida State and other universities. Christina Wroten, an in-ternational business ma-jor from Belmont Univer-sity who studies at the FSU Valencia location, said Spain is interesting because of its differences from the Latin-American infl uences in Florida.
“There’s so much you can take away from sim-ply traveling,” said Wro-ten. “It’s also interesting because, in Spain, it’s Spanish, but it’s European Spanish. It’s so much dif-ferent from South Amer-ica; it’s where Spanish people originate.
“Here you are able to experience a slower-paced life when it comes to food but also walking around—just being able to walk around by your-self and appreciate all the little things.”
Of all the well-regarded
international programs offered by FSU, the Spain program has one of the most excellent reputations according to students here. Milan ex-plained why the Valencia program is so popular.
“FSU is super proud of their Spain program,” said Milan. “It works really well through word-of-mouth, and it’s because we want to work it out and make it a special thing because we think students who study abroad are brave. The easiest thing to do is to not study abroad—to stay home. So even though it is easy to be critical of study abroad—because you’re surrounded by American students—you’re still in another country and it’s a new experience. Through IP in Tallahassee and in Valencia, the relationship between FSU and Spain has really evolved. There are going to be more op-portunities for people to come to Spain, and maybe work as a teacher.”

You’re less likely every day to see a professional bicycle messenger, once a staple of the urban landscape, carrying gro-ceries in a satchel down the designated bike lane. Oddly, though, as their profession-meets-life-style has seen a decline, the bike messengers’ tradition of the informal Alleycat bike race has made its way onto the
streets of just about ev-ery city in America. And Tallahassee’s thriving community of urban cy-clists has made sure our town isn’t an exception.
“I don’t know about Tallahassee Alleycats,” said FSU senior Robbie Malz, a member of that community. “But the idea behind an Alleycat is it’s bike messengers, and they have these ran-dom checkpoints, and whoever knows the best alleys to cut through will win.”
More locally, the dis-tinct Tallahassee brand of Alleycat racing puts on almost a race per month, including the annual, gi-ant “Talloween” Hallow-
een race (the only time of year you’ll see seven zombies biking down Railroad Avenue—hope-fully), a Spring Fling couples race and, most recently, the Harry Pot-ter-themed Diagon Alley Cat last Sunday, July 10.
“I’m a big fan, you know, I grew up with [Harry Potter],” said the race’s organizer, Alison Mabee. “And [this week-end was] the premiere of the movie, so it’s like building up the hype. That was the idea—mak-ing July Harry Potter month.”

A look back at the magic and mischiefA timeline
of the ‘Harry Potter’ series
ERIC JAFFEStaff Writer
When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released
in July 2007, I vividly remem-ber waiting outside of my local Barnes & Noble. We were just minutes away from midnight and the line stretched an easy quarter-mile. I wasn’t dressed up like some of the more enthu-siastic fans, but I could not wait to get my hands on that book. I stayed up the whole night read-ing—anxious to see what would become of the character I had
been following since elementary school. By morning, I was fi n-ished, and damn was I satisfi ed.
I had a similar situation seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 at a special sneak preview this past week. Hundreds of Potter die-hards waited outside of the theater; fi ghts broke out and wands were raised as Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings debates got danger-
ously heated. It was like 2007 all over again. I only wondered if the fi lm could possibly live up to the standards set by the novel all those years ago. Well, for the fi rst time since The Prisoner of Azkaban, it did.
Equally involving and excit-ing, this is the fi rst fi lm in the series that captures the spirit

52 people registered at Krank It Up! in Railroad Square and were handed a card with their number on it, to stick in their spokes, and a “Marauder’s Map of Tallahassee.”
The latter, made by Mabee with a ridiculous attention to detail, was a full map of the FSU side of Tallahassee marked with nine lightning-bolt-ed checkpoints that had to be completed. These points entailed challenges like Quidditch Practice on the ground fl oor of the St. Augustine park-ing garage (a round of bike polo with a rubber Quaffl e, a hula-hoop goal-post and a Golden Snitch guarded by volunteers with bike-polo mallets); a Potions Dungeon full of multicolored Jell-O shots; a trivia-showdown N.E.W.T. Test on Conradi Street; and a fi nish line at Hogwarts Castle, a.k.a., the Wescott Building. One more, unmarked surprise challenge involved racers dropping off a small box (supposedly containing the infant Potter) to the Dursley’s house at HCB.
“At the beginning, ev-eryone reached into a hat and grabbed a pin,” said Mabee. “They all had a dif-ferent color on them, and each color represented a different Hogwarts house. If they dressed up, they get three points to their house, and if they get trivia questions right, they get a point. And if they an-swer their trivia questions with an accent, they get an extra point.”
The winning team won the best combination of words in the English language: beer and cup-
cakes.The overall winner of
the race, meanwhile, re-ceived a custom Old Field bike frame—a top-of-the-line frame built by me-chanic, fellow racer and owner of the Sweet Pea Café Justin Pogge—and nearly 30 more cycling-related prizes were avail-able on a fi rst-fi nished-fi rst-served basis.
As the racers poured over their Marauder’s Maps, planning their routes and prioritizing their checkpoints, two groups started to emerge amongst the racers—namely, those who were there for a Harry Potter-themed Sunday evening, planning routes in groups, and those who wanted above all to win.
“Half the people who are competing are doing it just because it’s a fun bike-related activity,” said Malz. “The other half does it because they want priz-es or they just want to be fi rst.”
This former half could be pretty easily spotted by their sometimes-extrava-gant costumes: Someone with a working knowl-edge of the Potter uni-verse could have spotted multiple decked-in-plaid Hogwarts students, Bel-latrix Lestrange, a House Elf complete with a pil-lowcase and The Boy Who Lived himself fl ying down the streets of Tallahassee on Sunday. Mabee, for her part, made a convincing Moaning Myrtle, while self-proclaimed Potter geek Rosie Richeson wore gold clothes and lamé tights, covered herself in gold paint and attached wings to her back tire to
be a Golden Snitch. “[My favorite part was]
the trivia, because I was really good at it—like, obnoxiously good,” said Richeson. “I’m a f**king nerd. An obnoxious, ev-eryone-hates-me, shut-the-f**k-up nerd. Like, bad—I got it bad [laughs].”
Malz, though, said he was primarily there to “win free s**t.” Before the race began, he huddled over his map longer than anyone, cursing about how often he forgets checkpoints on Alleycat races and predicting how long it will take him to take off his T-shirt in the rain, which only let up af-ter the race had fi nished.
“I don’t know how, you know, how much people let the rain slow them down,” said Mabee. “When we were at my house, I ran into Chris-topher [Hill], and he said he had already wrecked twice. But he was fi ne.”
By the end of the race, Hill would crash a total of three times.
“I fell once when this guy ate it and then hit another guy—or another guy hit him—and then I was riding by and was like, ‘Are you guys OK?’ and then fell off the side-walk and into it myself,” said Hill. “And then there was once when I was drafting off Kevin [Code], and he avoided traffi c, but instead of going around the car, he just stopped and I T-boned him. And then when I came up [to the fi nish line at Wescott fountain], I tried to stop too fast and just slid out. I really messed up my ankle when I hit Kevin.”
Hill’s tenacity in harsh
conditions did, however, wind up winning him sec-ond place, only about a minute behind fi rst-place winner Kevin Code, who made the circa-14-mile run in a stunning 49 min-utes. Justin Pogge came just a minute-and-a-half short of winning his own bicycle frame in third.
Soon after Pogge crossed the fi nish line and the already-drenched competitors celebrated by jumping in the Wescott fountain, Malz rode into Wescott, only to yell, “Do I really have to deliver this box to HCB? F**k me.” By the race’s end, he would come in 12th place, incidentally the ex-act same place he came in during the Thundercat Al-leycat last month. As pre-dicted, Malz arrived shirt-less, having long since taken off his rain-soaked shirt, which he said now weighed a “cubic ton.”
Gryffi ndor won the overall competition for house points, while Richeson won both the trivia competition and the best-dressed award for her Snitch ensemble, receiving a total of four free tickets to the mid-night premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for her efforts.
Richeson, who also or-ganized an all-out Potter party at The Farside pre-ceding the premiere, of course, already had her tickets—and, as it turns out, even more costume ideas.
“I’m throwing a party—I’m dressing up as Draco Malfoy,” said Richeson. “I have a wig. I got this, man.”
of the book in full form. Defi ned by a darker mood and greater sense of grav-ity than the previous chap-ters, this eighth install-ment concludes the series in a manner that not only pleases the fans, but also warrants serious attention from academy voters as a true Oscar contender. The acting, direction, cinema-tography, writing and cos-tume design are fl awless. The greatest achievement of this series, however, re-mains its characters.
The Harry Potter fi lms showed us their leads growing older in real time. Apart from the tragic loss of Richard Harris (the origi-nal Dumbledore), the stu-dio never recast once over the past 10 years. The result
of this crew’s unfl inching dedication is a fi lm series that isn’t just an adaptation of the books, but a living world perfectly translated between page and screen. Seeing this place that so many of us have grown along to close after 10 in-credibly successful years brings about a gross nos-talgia. I personally may not have cried (my tear ducts are reserved exclusively for movies featuring Tom Hanks), but a great majori-ty of the theater did. Having read the book does not at all soften the fi lm’s fi nal blow. Tissues are highly recom-mended; as it did in Lord of the Rings, the ending does drag on for a while.
Now, here’s my only qualm: the 3D. It looks nice,
but is it worth your money? Not really. This is a fi lm that stands fi rmly on its slender two-dimensional feet, see-ing it in the third-dimension is an added bonus (a big bonus at that) and not re-ally a necessity. The effects are unbelievable, though—I can’t deny that.
Here we have a near-perfect motion picture. The experience, especially for those who have followed the series until this point, is incomparable to almost anything else on the market right now.
If you haven’t enjoyed the series until this point then this installment prob-ably won’t change that, but it’s a damn good picture on every level.
Mischief managed.

Formed in late 2008, local indie-rock trio Only Thieves consists of Jeremy Barnes (guitar, vocals), Thomas Bacot (bass, vocals) and Marc Zivica (additional guitar, vocals). Since fi rst join-
ing, the three-piece has released an EP, Greetings from Levy Park, and re-cently released their fi rst full-length, Heartless Romantics, in addition to completing relentless tours and garnering atten-tion all over.
“For all its ’90s intona-tions, Heartless Roman-tics has certain timeless qualities,” according to Punknews.org. “The songs are catchy numbers about ladies (more or less). The guitars are loud. The drums are huge. The vocals sound lived-in, but that doesn’t stop the band from jamming in plenty of ‘whoa’s,’ ‘oh’s’ and ‘ba-ba-ba’s.’ It is, in summation, a kick-ass rock ‘n’ roll re-cord.”

Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm begins its new season on HBO, bringing with it the pain-ful awkwardness, frus-tration, and humor fans love.
The episode picks up exactly where last season left off. Larry and Cheryl are watching the imagi-nary Seinfeld reunion together and seem to be rekindling their lost ro-mance.
Cheryl has already made a fatal mistake, however. She left her iced coffee on the table with-out a coaster.
“Do you respect wood?”
asks Larry. He cannot contain his displeasure and the renewed romance ends in disaster.
Things then move ahead to one year later. Cen-tering around Larry and Cheryl’s divorce process, the episode allows us to watch Larry screw up ev-erything from Girl Scout cookies to an all-you-can-eat buffet.
For a show that has been so heavily adver-tised as moving to New York for this season, it was surprising to see the entire episode still taking place in Los Angeles.
Jeff and Susie are still in the picture, as well as Marty Funkhouser. It is diffi cult to fi gure out why Larry’s roommate Leon is still hanging around, be-sides lightening the mood with a bounty of profane dialogue.
Susie’s complete dis-gust for everyone, espe-
cially Larry, is still very entertaining. Her open-ing monologue rips her husband Jeff to shreds. She could be the most fun character to watch this season if it keeps up.
Larry still commands the show as usual, de-livering the painful awk-wardness fans love.
His wardrobe is notice-ably bland compared to everyone else’s, consist-ing only of two colors of a V-neck sweater and some button-downs.
So far, Curb is a little more of the same from last season, but it is still

working. Hopefully things will re-

asm airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. on HBO.

I’ve been noticing a bit of a trend occurring in some of my past mixtapes—it seems I can’t resist including a re-mix in each one I’ve made so far. Thus, I’m dedicating this entire mixtape to some of my favorite recent re-mixes.
“Lizstomania” (Classixx remix) by Phoenix:
Here, L.A. DJ duo Classixx (Michael David and Tyler Blake) mixes things up with the standout original by France’s Phoenix by cut-ting out guitar riffs and add-ing new synths, while also maintaining that special ’80s vibe.
“Why Even Try” (RAC remix) by Theophilus
London: Critics have been raving
over Theophilus London for some time now, and if you’re not already familiar with him, get ready to hear a lot more about Brooklyn’s rising rapper after his full-length debut, Timez are
Mix It Up
Weird These Days, drops on Tuesday, July 19. On the track, RAC (Remix Artist Collective) members make London’s already dance-able tune that much more playful.
“Baby” (Breakbot remix) by Pnau:
While the original by Australian dance duo Pnau (Nick Littlemore and Pe-ter Mayes) is enjoyable, this remix by French pro-ducer Breakbot (Thibault Berland) sounds more like French-house/funk and less like Pnau’s usual mate-rial—no complaints here.
“Skinny Love” (Das Kapital remix) by Bon
Iver: Everyone (well, almost
everyone) has heard Bon Iver’s hit original “Skinny Love,” but not everyone is necessarily a big fan of singer Justin Vernon’s slow crooning. Those who aren’t might enjoy Das Kapital’s remix more. With-out changing the song too
much, the rising electronic producer from South Africa gives the song more life by adding a few head-bobbing beats.
“Rolling in the Deep” (Jamie xx remix) by
Adele: We’ve all heard Adele’s
smashing original ballad and, while it’s undeniably great on its own, this remix by British producer Jamie xx (a.k.a., Jamie Smith from London trio The xx) puts a spotlight on Adele’s gorgeous vocals. The track instantly grows on you and makes you want to move.
“Get Some” (Beck remix) by Lykke Li:
Having been in the biz for over 20 years, Beck is a legend among music afi cio-nados—I shouldn’t have to convince you that he’s awe-some. But, if you needed any reassurance, just check out his grimy rework of Lykke Li’s raunchy (and totally
blush-worthy) track “Get Some.”
“Basic Space” (Mount Kimbie remix) by The xx:
As much as I love the origi-nal by The xx, I feel like once they hit the chorus, the song loses some of its sensual-ity by kicking up the tempo instead of maintaining the slow, mysterious sound fea-tured in the intro. However, fellow British act Mount Kimbie keeps that feeling alive with their great remix.
“Helicopter” (Diplo & Lunice remix) by
Deerhunter: It’s simply hard to avoid
falling in love with this remix by producer extraordinaire Diplo and fellow producer Lunice. If you like the origi-nal, I promise you’ll love the remix more—yeah, I said it, Deerhunter fans. Sidenote: I’m still drooling over my backstage interview with Diplo and my autographed vinyl.

CAMERON GAUTHIERStaff Writer
Regardless of what we all think about Casey Anthony, she had a right to a fair trial overseen by a jury of her peers as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. And that jury, based on lack of sound evidence (re-ally, there was none at all aside from circumstantial bits and suspicious activi-ties at the time of Caylee’s disappearance), found Casey innocent of fi rst-degree murder, aggra-vated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse,
Casey Anthony’s trial by fi rebut guilty on four misde-meanor counts of provid-ing false information to a law enforcement offi cer. Sure, I think she deserved to be charged with ag-gravated child abuse at the very least, but that’s not the point. The point is that verdicts in an ef-fective criminal justice system are not decided by our opinions and feelings or by Nancy Grace’s an-gry rants. Verdicts should be based on the evidence and testimony during the trial alone and the idea that someone is “inno-cent until proven guilty” should be respected.
The angry mob of peo-ple who had nothing bet-ter to do with their lives than threaten death to 12 jurors who did, under oath, exactly what they were supposed to was far more concerning to me
than Anthony being found not guilty. It was like a scene out of an old movie where men with torches hunt for the monster (who really isn’t a mon-ster) or the Salem Witch Trials where one person’s word was enough to get a woman hanged for being a mythological entity that isn’t even real. If Casey Anthony did kill her daughter, she was better than the Orange County forensics unit, and there’s nobody she can hurt any-more. If she didn’t kill her daughter, then justice truly was served. Execut-ing a woman in front of a small audience of archa-ic-minded citizens will do nothing to change the condition of a dead child and, in this case, it will not prevent the death of any other children in the future.
Honestly, seeing the people crying and screaming outside of the courthouse after the trial made me almost as sick as Nancy Grace barking condemnations like a ra-bid Basset Hound on her show that night (even though I should be used to it).
According to the Death Penalty Information Cen-ter, at least 10 people have been found innocent af-ter their execution (their names and cases can be found online). With this in mind, I think it is especial-ly important to be able to prove a suspect’s guilt be-yond a shadow of a doubt when the death penalty is on the table. If we want to maintain the ability to claim that we are an “ad-vanced” and “civilized” nation, then we must re-spect the legal system
whether we agree with the outcome of a trial or not, and we must not threaten harm to a jury who sat for a month in the courtroom and very quickly came to the conclusion that there was insuffi cient evidence. Trials by fi re, lynch mobs and vigilante justice are but a few of the embar-rassing scars on the his-tory of humanity and they certainly have no modern constitutional position in Florida or anywhere else in the country.
According to the Na-tional Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2,000 children are report-ed missing every day and around 800,000 are re-ported missing each year. Why is it that we hear of maybe fi ve missing chil-dren every year? In 2008, the year that Caylee An-thony was killed, there
were 1,494 children mur-dered in the United States. How many of those did we hear about? How many of them did anyone outside of their families (assum-ing the families weren’t responsible) care about? Why has our country been concerned with bringing justice to one child for the past four years when—if the number of child homi-cides each year remained constant—nearly 6,000 children may have been killed during that time? If the people screaming outside of the courthouse or in their living rooms re-ally want to do something benefi cial for society, perhaps they can work on reducing the number of child homicides in the future instead of wishing death upon one possibly guilty bad mother and 12 innocent jurors.
CHAD SQUITIERIStaff Writer
I, perhaps unfortu-nately, seem to like po-litical discussion. When many people simply hear the word politics, they cringe and point out that it is typically nothing but arguing that gets nothing accomplished. I, on the other hand, see politics as the one realm where you can actually get things done and change things for the better. Yes, there is a fair amount of arguing, but it is only af-ter hearing multiple per-spectives on a particular matter that you can ap-propriately form your own opinion. This being my rationale behind why I consider politics toler-able, I often find myself in the midst of political discussion.
After a few minutes of discussing a particular matter, I typically ask the person I am conversing with how they would de-fine themselves political-ly. I always wait at least a few minutes to first see whether the individual actually cares about what they are talking about, or whether they are just carelessly spouting off
snippets they heard on TV. Waiting a few minutes also ensures that what-ever idea the individual is presenting can be fully and fairly understood and considered—without the unnecessary label that accompanies a po-litical party. The reason I ask at all is because I am interested to see how individuals define them-selves. I often encounter many people defending the same ideas, yet, when asked where they would consider themselves on the political spectrum, they often differ.
More and more when I ask this question I have run across the same re-sponse: “I consider my-self a so-and-so, but when it comes to fiscal matters I am a conservative.” In other words, I have found that more and more peo-ple—despite what party they are registered to and despite how they feel on social issues—tend to define themselves as a fiscal conservative. I an-ticipate that this trend will continue to increase throughout our genera-tion’s lifespan.
Why is it the case that more and more people, especially in our young
Begin to fi x the problem
today
generation, are defining them-selves as fiscal conservatives? I believe it is because we have no other choice. We are inheriting a world with some serious eco-nomic problems, and fiscal con-servatism is the only solution that makes sense. Big government and huge spending outside of respon-sible limitations is what created the current economic climate we will inherit, and it only makes sense that to fix a problem you do not simply continue to do the very thing that caused the problem. In other words, when you find you have dug yourself into a hole, the first step is to quit digging.
Unless our generation wants to allow our country to continue speeding down the tracks to-ward economic self-destruction, we must change the way we ap-proach the problem. If you were to find yourself in credit card debt
because you have been spending outside of your budget for several years, you would not think the so-lution to the problem would to be to just continue taking out more credit cards and racking up more debt. You logically would reduce your spending to a level you could actually afford, and you would logically reduce your spending to a level where you would be able to afford to begin paying down your debt as well.
This logic can be applied to the economic situation our govern-ment is currently facing. The only logical solution is to reduce the amount of government spending by eliminating waste and reduc-ing the size of our bloated govern-ment.
The recent debates in Washing-ton about raising the debt ceil-ing help highlight the two ways to approach the financial issue
at hand. The one side is to con-tinue to increase spending and to worry about the problem tomor-row when the government can tax citizens even more, thus helping to constrict economic expansion and plunge us into another long recession down the road. The other—and, I believe, future way to handle the problem—is to draw a line and say enough is enough. No more postponing the problem to the next election, and the next, and the next. Now is the time to begin fixing the economy.
As a nation, we are already feel-ing the effects of a weaker econ-omy; why prolong those negative side effects by prolonging the problem? Beginning to solve the problem now, and not later, en-sures the one thing every genera-tion of American’s has the privi-lege to know—tomorrow will be even better than today.

On July 18, 1811, English novel-ist William Makepeace Thackeray, author of “Vanity Fair,” was born in Calcutta, India.
On this date:In A.D. 64, the Great Fire of Rome began.In 1536, the English Parliament passed an act declaring the au-thority of the pope void in Eng-land.In 1610, highly infl uential Ital-ian baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio died in Porto Ercole at age 38.In 1792, American naval hero John Paul Jones died in Paris at age 45.In 1911, actor Hume Cronyn was born in London, Ontario, Canada.In 1932, the United States and Canada signed a treaty to develop the St. Lawrence Seaway.In 1940, the Democratic nation-al convention at Chicago Stadium nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term in offi ce.In 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed a Presidential Succession Act which placed the speaker of the House and the Sen-ate president pro tempore next in the line of succession after the vice president.In 1969, a car driven by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) plunged off a bridge on Chap-paquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard; his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne (koh-PE-HK’-nee), drowned.In 1981, six weeks after being paroled from prison, Jack Henry Abbott, acclaimed for his book
“In the Belly of the Beast,” fatally stabbed waiter Richard Adan. (Ab-bott was convicted of manslaugh-ter and sent back to prison; he later committed suicide.)
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, en route to an economic summit in Italy, stopped over in Britain as he began his second trip to Europe in a month.Five years ago: The Senate voted after two days of emotional de-bate to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, sending the measure to President George W. Bush for a promised veto. A doctor and two nurses who’d labored at a fl ooded-out New Orleans hospital in Hurri-cane Katrina’s chaotic aftermath were arrested and accused of killing four trapped and desper-ately ill patients with injections of morphine and sedatives. (A grand jury later declined to indict Dr. Anna Pou and the nurses.)One year ago: Pakistan and Af-ghanistan sealed a landmark trade deal in the presence of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who pushed the two neighbors to step up civilian cooperation and work together against al-Qaida and the Taliban. A suicide bomber struck anti-al-Qaida Sunni fi ghters waiting for paychecks southwest of Bagh-dad, killing 45. Gunmen fi red indiscriminately into a crowd of mainly young people in a rented hall in Torreon, Mexico, killing 17 people. Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa shot a 1-under 71 for a seven-stroke victory at 16-under 272 in the British Open.

The Florida State men’s and women’s tennis pro-grams continue to exem-plify what it means to be a student-athlete.
The Intercollegiate Ten-nis Association (ITA) an-nounced the 2011 ITA All-Academic Teams and ITA Scholar-Athletes, with Florida State represent-ing four student-athletes to the men’s and women’s lists.
The women’s team was named as an ITA All-Aca-demic Team to end their
incredible season. In order to be named as
an ITA All-Academic Team, individuals who competed had to be included in a cu-mulative 3.20 grade point average for the fall and spring semesters.
To be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, an indi-vidual had to post a 3.50 grade point average for the current academic year. FSU was one of six ACC schools to be named to the list.
Seniors Katie Rybakova and Federica Suess, along with redshirt sophomore Noemie Scharle were
named as ITA Scholar-Ath-letes. This is the third year Rybakova and Suess were named to the list.
“I am ecstatic that our women’s tennis team once again earned All-Academic Team honors,” head coach Jennifer Hyde said. “This speaks to the commitment that our student-athletes have to not only their ten-nis endeavors, but to their academic responsibilities as well.
“These young ladies strive each year to be as good as they can be on all fronts, and I continue to be so proud of how well each
of them represents our women’s tennis program, as well our athletic depart-ment at FSU.”
This season, the trio helped lead the women’s team to their second ACC Championship match. The team posted eight straight wins during the conclu-sion of the season, which included wins over No. 3 Duke (twice), No. 4 North Carolina and No. 11 Vir-ginia.
Individually, the trio was named to the Academic All-ACC Team, while Suess was named the ITA South-east Region Arthur Ashe
Leadership and Sports-manship Award win-ner and earned the ACC Weaver-James-Corrigan Postgraduate Scholarship Award.
Rybakova was named to the All-ACC Team and as a third team CoSIDA Aca-demic All-American.
On the men’s side, Va-hid Mirzadeh, was named an ITA Scholar-Athlete for the fi rst time in his career. Mirzadeh fi nished the sea-son by being named with All-America doubles hon-ors.
He was also named to the All-ACC Team, All-ACC
Academic Team and was named as the national ITA Arthur Ashe Leaderships and Sportsmanship Award. Mirzadeh has been named to the Dean’s List three times during his career, in-cluding posting a 3.94 GPA this spring semester.
“I think anytime you can win an award for your aca-demics, it’s truly a great honor to have,” Mirzadeh said. “I’ve put in a lot of hard work not only on the tennis court, but also off the court in my academics. I think it’s really important to balance school and ten-nis.”

KRIKORIAN from 14
“This was a tremendous experience,” Krikorian said. “To have the chance to watch the best players in the world and to wit-ness the playing styles for each of the different countries represented at this year’s World Cup was an experience of a life-time.”
This marks the second time that Krikorian has served as an advanced scout for Team USA work-ing for then-U.S. head coach April Heinrichs at the 2003 Women’s World Cup held in the United States.
The trip also allowed Krikorian to reconnect with many former col-leagues that served as his assistant at some point in time during his 21 years as head coach at the profes-sional and college level.
Pia Sundhage—the cur-rent U.S. women’s nation-al team head coach—was an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Charge from 2001-02, while Er-ica Walsh—an assistant coach for Team USA and the head women’s coach at Penn State—served as an assistant coach in Krikorian’s fi rst year at FSU in 2005. Paul Rogers (goalkeeper coach for the U.S. National Team) was an assistant coach and goalkeeper coach at Flor-ida State for two seasons (2007-08).
John Natale, head wom-en’s coach at the Univer-sity of Hartford and also one of the four scouts on hand along with Krikori-an, was also an assistant with Sundhage for two seasons with the Phila-delphia Charge.

What are the facts?Many attempts at peace. In order to understand
the unlikelihood of peace in the Middle East, it isnecessary to trace the history of peace-makingattempts between Israel and the Palestinians.Virtually all of them resulted in complete failure.Here is a list of only the most important of suchevents.
The enmity of the Arabsagainst the Jews in theirmidst and the violenceagainst them predates thecreation of the Jewish state.There were some peaceproposals during the BritishMandate (prior to 1948), butthey were in vain and deservelittle mention in this narrative. Notable was the PeelCommission proposal in 1937, in which the creationof an Arab state was suggested, but the Arabs rejectedit.
The most important proposal in the history ofpeace making was the 1947 U.N. Resolution to createa large Arab state with the Jews receiving twodisjointed pieces, consisting mostly of much of thecoastline and the Negev Desert. Jerusalem was to beinternationalized. The Jews accepted the plan. TheArabs totally rejected it. Instead, they invaded thenascent Jewish state with the armies of five Arabnations, in hopes to “drive the Jews into the sea” (oneof their favorite imageries). Of course, that isn't theway it turned out. Instead, about 650,000 Arabs fledthe area, mostly under the goading of their leaders.Remarkably, their descendants, even today, are called“refugees,” supported by the United Nations, whichmeans mostly by the United States.
Every year for the last 60+ years, the Arabsmemorialize the “Nakba” (catastrophe) of thecreation of the State of Israel. But, of course, withoutthe war that they imposed on Israel, there would beno “Nakba.” Just as Israel, the Arabs would now beable to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of theirPalestinian state.
From 1948 to 1967, Jordan occupied the “WestBank.” During the nineteen years of their tenure, not
a word was heard about forming a Palestinian state inthe area. After the 1967 Six-Day War, in which theIsraelis trounced the combined armies of Egypt,Syria, and Jordan, Jordan's occupation of the “WestBank” ended and so did Egypt's occupation of Gaza.At that time, Israel offered the hand of friendship tothe Arabs, which was rudely rejected when the Arabsissued the Three No's of Khartoum: No Peace, No
Negotiation, and NoRecognition of Israel.Another importantopportunity that would haveradically changed the historyof the Middle East wasmissed.
Never-ending efforts atpeace. In 1993 and 1995
Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo Accords with theaim of creating a Palestinian state within five years.Israel agreed to withdraw from parts of the WestBank and Gaza. Israel turned over most of itsadministration of the territories to the PalestinianAuthority (PA). But, the Palestinians violated theircommitments, thus scuttling the agreement.
In 2000, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered towithdraw from 97% of the West Bank and 100% ofGaza. That proposal also guaranteed Palestinianrefugees the right to return to the Palestinian stateand offered reparations from $30 billion ofinternational funds that would be collected tocompensate them. Arafat rejected the deal.
In 2003, Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharonagreed to negotiate with the Palestinians accordingto the “road map” formulated by the United States,Russia, the European Union, and the U.N. ThePalestinians never fulfilled their obligation tonormalized relations with Israel and to arrive at acomprehensive peace. Another missed opportunity!
In 2005, Israel unilaterally decided to evacuateevery soldier and citizen from Gaza. The “reward” forIsrael's evacuation was for the Palestinians to launchrockets into Israel from Gaza at an almost daily rate.There were further attempts in 2007 by PrimeMinister Ehud Olmert and in 2010 by Prime Minister“Bibi” Netanyahu, but all have ended in failure.

You deserve a factual look at . . .
Are the Palestinians Ready for Peace?Why Arab intransigence makes peace most unlikely.
Just as all the presidents since Harry Truman before him, President Obama is spending much time, effort, andpolitical capital trying to bring about peace between Israel and the so-called Palestinians. If history is any guide,he will be as unsuccessful in this endeavor, just as every one of his predecessors.
The above chronology is only a partial one, giving only the most important highlights. There have beennegotiations, conferences, plans, and meetings almost uninterruptedly. All of them have foundered. The “all-or-nothing” mentality of the Arabs, their unwillingness to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and the Arabs'expressed desire to destroy the hated Jews, have kept peace from flowering. What a shame! If the Arabs hadaccepted the 1947 partition plan and had not invaded the nascent Jewish state with the armies of five Arabcountries, they would not now have the need today to commemorate their “Nakba.” They could be celebratingtheir country’s 63rd anniversary, their enduring peace with Israel, and could be part of the tremendousprosperity that Israel has brought to that region of the world.

learning he was one of the three fi nalists. “It’s amazing. It has been a great season for me win-ning the ACC and setting the ACC record and go-ing to the NCAA and set-ting the NCAA record.
“To be able to win the Bowerman award, it would mean the world to me. It’s very impor-tant that I win the award for the program and in-dividually. I’m very hon-ored to be a fi nalist and can’t wait to see the fi -nal result.”
Makusha became just the fourth man in NCAA Division I history to win both the 100m and long jump, joining Lewis, Owens and DeHart Hub-bard.
In the process, he smashed Ato Bolden’s 1996 NCAA 100-meter record (9.92) with the world’s sixth-fastest time. He also estab-lished a new Zimba-bwe national record. Makusha’s winning long jump effort ranks No. 6 all-time collegiately and is also a Zimbabwe na-tional record.
In addition to his in-dividual gold medal ef-forts, Makusha ran the second leg of the win-ning 4x100 relay. He accounted for 22.5 of FSU’s 54 points—just one point shy of deliver-ing the Seminoles a third NCAA team title.
He is the fi rst fi nalist for the Bowerman in Florida State history.
“This is unbelievably exciting,” FSU coach Bob Braman said. “This is the Heisman Trophy of our sport and he’s one of three fi nalists to be honored as the track and fi eld athlete of the year. We’re real excited because it says a lot about our program and the outstanding student-athletes like Ngoni we have participating in it. This is a big deal.”
After missing the 2010 seasons due to injury, Makusha made up for lost time. He won the fi rst of four 2011 ACC championships indoors in the long jump (26-9) and followed up three weeks later with his fi rst of four NCAA titles in the same event (26-8 ½).
Outdoors, he won the ACC long jump (25-4) and 100 (9.97—setting a new conference re-cord in the dash) and contributed a leg to the winning 4x100 relay as the Seminoles won the team title.

Amateur Championship in 2010. He became only the second player from Den-mark to win the European Amateur Championship

No. 36-ranked scratch player in the World Ama-teur Rankings.

His name may have been diffi cult to pro-nounce before you heard of him, but with how of-ten he’s been honored in
the news recently, it just gets easier with time.
After an amazing per-formance at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Cham-pionships, Florida State’s Ngoni Makusha placed his name alongside track
and fi eld icons Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens.
Makusha, in what proved to be his fi nal meet for the Seminoles, won individual NCAA titles in the 100-meter dash (9.89) and long jump (27-6 ¾),
and contributed a leg to FSU’s gold medal 4x100-meter relay (38.77).
The Zimbabwe native’s brilliant cap to an out-standing collegiate career earned him a spot among the three fi nalists for the

The award, named for legendary Oregon coach

Perhaps getting a look at what it takes for his current players to com-pete at the next level, Florida State soccer head coach Mark Krikorian is back in Tallahassee after spending three weeks in Germany serving as an advanced scout for the U.S. Women’s National Team at the 2011 Women’s World Cup.
Krikorian, who is enter-ing his seventh season as head coach at FSU, was one of four scouts that provided expert analysis for Team USA during this year’s World Cup.
He scouted eight teams,
in eight games cover-ing six different cities in Germany. Krikorian was on hand in Berlin for the opening game featuring Germany and Canada and was in the stands for the USA’s comeback vic-tory in the quarterfi nals against Brazil.
Over the three weeks, Krikorian was in Bochum to see Japan versus New Zealand and Canada ver-sus France, Moenchengla-dbach to see Brazil versus Australia and France ver-sus Germany, Wolfsburg to witness Brazil versus.Norway and in Leverkus-en to see Australia ver-sus. Norway.
