This Tuesday, around three o’clock, workers at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center in Downtown were sent out emails warning them of a bomb threat.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police department sent out an email warning the workers not to leave until they were told to ensure that panic would not spread and cause traffic congestion.
An anonymous source that had been downtown throughout the incident overheard people during this scare speaking of how their kids needed to be picked up from school and daycare, and were worried about their safety. But, with the entire building being completely shut down, there was little these working parents could do.
A woman jumping onto the train, said she was “happy to be out” saying they had finally been released around 4:30 p.m., after the initial warning email at four o’clock.
Another woman, who also works at the Government Center, seemed more or less unaffected. She said, “other than staying at work longer” the threat did not seem to bother the government workers.
In fact, even Bill Siegfried, Director of UNC
Charlotte’s Uptown Campus, seemed unalarmed. “We didn’t even know about it, no sirens... or anything. We only knew about it from turning on the TV... that we could have been blown up,” Siegfried said.
The downtown area roads extending one block in every direction had been closed until the bomb threat had ceased, and the people at the Government Center were released. The streets were crowded and busy as people tried to rush from their jobs to pick up their kids or get home to relax.
The security guards and police had no comment, and would not be able to release any kind of information until “everything was official.”
According to WBTV, the suspicious material ended up being discarded electrical equipment, which was in possession of the CMPD bomb squad around 4:15, only fifteen minutes after the warning email had been received by many of the workers.
The CMPD bomb squad in a controlled explosion blew up the material, and the police were called to release the Government Center workers.
People were then rushing on to trains, and in to the parking deck to pick up their cars.

Warren Brown shares the secrets to entrepreneurship with students
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Set the rack in the middle of the oven. For Crunchy Feet, set racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
Set out the ingredients and equipment. Sift the flour directly into a bowl on a scale for accurate measuring. Measure the other dry ingredients into a separate mixing bowl, add the flour, and whisk for 10 seconds to blend. Set aside. Measure the liquid ingredients into a separate bowl, whisk to combine, and set aside. Measure the butter and sugar into the separate bowls and set aside. Crack eggs and yolk into separate bowls and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on the lowest speed for 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the vanilla bean lengthwise with a paring knife and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the creaming butter and sugar. Reserve the pod for another use.
With the mixer still on the lowest speed, add the eggs one at a time followed by the yolk, fully incorporating after each addition. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl.
Add the dry ingredient mixture alternately with the liquid mixture in 3 to 5 additions each, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Move swiftly to avoid overworking the batter. Don’t wait for the dry or liquid mixtures to be fully incorporated before adding the next. This step should take a total of 60 seconds.
Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl all the way down. Don’t miss the clumps of ingredients hiding on the bottom of the bowl. Mix on medium speed for 15 to 20 seconds to develop the batter’s structure.
Prepare the pans. For a Bundt cake, spray the pan well with a nonstick spray. For Crunchy Feet, place the brioche pans on sheet pans (16 per half-sheet pan is a snug fit) and spray them liberally.
For a Bundt cake, fill the pan about three-quarters full by depositing the batter with the rubber spatula in small clumps around the prepared pan instead of by pouring it into one spot. Level the batter with the rubber spatula. Bake any leftover batter as Crunchy Feet cupcakes. For Crunchy Feet, use a 2 oz, trigger-release, ice-cream scoop to deposit the batter into the prepared pans so they’re three-quarters full.
Follow the approximate bake times listed below:12-cup Bundt 50-55 minutes 70 minutesCrunchy Feet 15 minutes 30 minutesOnce the top of the cakes doesn’t jiggle in the center, test for doneness by inserting a balance skewer in the center of the cake.
When the skewer shows just a touch of crumbs the cake is done. The sheen on the top may look liquid, but this is normal and comes from the fat and heavy cream. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a heat-resistance surface or wire rack.
For Crunchy Feet, carefully invert the brioche pans to release the cakes to 3 to 4 minutes after removing them from the oven-well before they cool completely. You may have to tap each pan firmly-or even slam it-against the sheet pan to release the cake. Place on a heat-resistance surface or wire rack to cool. Immediately soak the parts to make cleaning easiest.
For the Bundt cake, once the cake has cooled for 5 to 10 minutes remove the cake by inverting the pan onto a flat surface. Allow it to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before glazing.
Dry Ingredients: 13 ½ oz unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tbsp potato starch1 ½ tsp vanilla powder½ tsp salt¼ tsp baking soda

WiLL GriErManaging Editor
Following your dreams is a phrase that everyone hears at least a handful of times in their lives; Warren Brown is a product of his own dreams. Brown visited After Hours in the Cone Center to talk about the idea of entrepreneurship and how one should go about starting his or her own business. The University Times sat down with Brown before his presentation; his story is nothing short of unique.
Brown has no formal training in culinary arts but is completely self-taught. He emphasized that his passion is cooking and said “I find a lot of enjoyment out of being around food and being in the kitchen”
Brown began his career path as an attorney litigating health care cases for the federal
government. After a few years in the legal arena Brown wanted to do more. “I wanted to get into the food business since I was a kid because I loved to cook.”
Now, Brown says he has 7 different shops with 60 to 70 people working in the Cake Love family. He smirked and said, “All we do is make cake and cupcakes all day.”
He recounted the experience that first gave him the inspiration to start making cakes; it all began in an airport terminal. Brown was carrying a large cake through the terminal and he continually was stopped by people saying things along the lines of: “Oh, did you make that?” and “It’s my birthday, can I get a piece of that?” He thought to himself, with this kind of attention, he could keep doing this.
In the summer of 1999, he ”researched like crazy and by winter [he] was ready to start making
cakes.” He eventually invited all of his friends over to his apartment; he compared the size of his old apartment to the stage of After Hours. When his friends arrived he dazzled them with 15 different cakes and petitioned their feedback.
Brown said that, “After the testing, I started accepting orders from people.” He continued, “I was setting myself up for a lot of work, but I was totally charged. I wanted it to happen.” His dedication to making his cakes led him to countless nights where he would just bake. He said, “I’d come home from work and if I cracked one egg, I’d be in the kitchen for at least three hours.” He eventually found himself in the hospital being diagnosed with exhaustion.
Brown got together with his family for some emotional support and ended up deciding on sharing a commercial space to get started with baking his cakes on a larger scale. He then quit his
job. Two days after he quit his job, “[He] met a
lady from the Washington Post, Judy Weinraub, at a local bakery and [he was] talking about butter cream with these guys, debating on the best way to do butter cream.” He eventually sparked the interest of Weinraub and she asked for samples of his cake recipes.
Weinraub liked his cakes so she told Brown that she wanted to follow him for three months while he got his business started.
About a year after the article was published Brown opened his first bakery. He said that, “On the first day we opened we made $1300 in sales.” Although it wasn’t a completely smooth start, Brown chuckled as he mentioned that, “The whole bathroom flooded before [they] even opened. For two days the phone rang off the hook.“

Be on the backfields at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday for Charlotte Club Baseball practice. The club registered as an organization on campus in 2001. Charlotte Club Baseball has established itself by developing its members’ skills in the competitive sport and in teamwork.
President Marcus Woodard, super senior and Graphic Design major, said that this club is for those looking to play competitively and have fun.
This year’s motto is, “you are going to get out what you put into the team,” and “if you are dedicated to the team and can be a leader you will get a lot of playing time,” said Woodard.
“I know it is sort of cheesy but the guys that are on the team basically become friends for life. Everyone is really close and we hang out and spend lots of time with each other away from baseball.”
Woodard said why he decided to become the clubs president, “I wanted to bring a positive improvement.”
Yet, this year’s numbers are down, so the club is looking for anyone wanting to play, and there is no skill level necessary. Just the desire for improvement and teamwork is required. As of now, there are 12 regular players.
“We really need pitchers and catchers the most. We lost one of each to the varsity team just recently. However, we’re looking to improve in all areas, so anyone that can play we want out there. No positions are locked up as of now,” said Secretary Aaron Glick, junior and Business major. Glick has been playing on the club for two years and plays centerfield. The club plays a total of 18 games in the fall and 25 in the spring. During spring break the team goes to Florida and plays teams from across the country.
“Last year we played teams like Michigan State, Illinois State, Bowling Green [Ohio], Central Michigan, and Appalachian State,” Glick said.
Every year DeMarini Bat Company, which sponsors the team’s efforts, gives Charlotte Club Baseball free bats. According to Glick’s experience and observation, a
good bat will last for one season. After a season’s worth of practice and games, a worn bat is a sign of endurance and devotion to the sport made by players.
Conference games are played in the spring, and this year’s competitors are N.C. State, Elon, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest and East Carolina University.
It’s been less than a month since this year’s fall season started, which was the weekend of Sept. 12, and according to Glick, the team took two of three from Clemson’s club team, and then
1-1 with Wytheville Community College. Also, Glick mentioned that they play “three games just about every weekend and still have about three more weekend series left.”
The team drives, carpooling together, up and down the East Coast to attend and play its scheduled games. The team just took a chilly trip up to Ohio to play the University of Akron and Kent State University. They played a total of four games over the weekend. Ohio is the farthest North the team will travel this season, and the next trip upward will be to Charlottesville, Va. The team will travel down to Tampa Fla. during the spring season.
In theory of true sportsmanship, winning is not everything. With a short glimpse at Charlotte Club Baseball it’s apparent that it is the comraderie and enjoyment of playing on the team that moves them forward in each game. According to Glick and Woodard, a warm and open welcome is waiting for anyone wanting to join the team.

Charlotte Club Baseball seeking new recruits

Tuesday, October 6, marked the Forth Annual Public Service Career Fair hosted by the University Career Center. Held in the Cone Center’s Lucas Room from 1-4, the Public Service Career Fair offered over 25 employees from federal, state, and local government, as well as, some nonprofit organization and graduate programs.
Prior to the Annual Public Service Career Fair, the University Career Center also hosted two workshops entitled “Work for America: Exploring Careers With the Federal Government” held in Cone 210. These two workshops focused primarily on the job search process, federal resumés and how to write K.S.A.s or, knowledge, skills and abilities.
Agencies participating in the Career Fair offered a myriad of information regarding their agencies while also recruiting for full-time jobs and internships. As with the other three career fairs already presented by the Career Center this semester, all majors were encouraged to attend.
In 2005, government and nonprofit employers
reported they would be hiring 19.8 percent more new graduates than in previous years.
This statistic was taken from four of the ten largest employers for 2005. With such a massive influx of new employees to government and nonprofit sector, federal government employment will grow significantly more than state and local government employment over the next ten years.
In speaking with senior Erika Erdmann regarding the fair, Erdmann said, “There were no organizations that I wanted to see at the Career Fair.” Though Erdmann is majoring in Spanish, the organizations she was most excited for, The International House and The World Affairs Counsel, were not in attendance.
Regardless of the long lines and the occasional no shows, it is important for students to take every opportunity made available to them. Though you may not be interested in public service or any government agencies, networking is a key aspect to college. For more information on upcoming events and services provided by the University Career Center, visit their website at http://www.career.uncc.edu, or their on-campus location at 150 Atkins.

Cake Love continued from page 1
Brown highlighted a few keys to success for being an entrepreneur. He said that there are three key factors to opening a successful business: trust, faith and confidence.
Following these principles, Brown is able to confidently say that, “[He’s] got wonderful people that work with [him], and they deserve my trust.” He continued, “We work well and we are a strong team.”
He continued on trust by saying, “If you don’t trust people to do something that you ask them to do, then they won’t do it. Ever.”
He emphasized the necessity
for delegating power to his employees. He said, “I wanted to make sure that at Cake Love I wasn’t just caged there.” More importantly he mentioned that he “wanted to make sure the business could survive without [him] being there. I didn’t want to lose my identity to a business, “
Right now his business is based in the Washington D.C. metro area and Brown wishes to advance further along the eastern side of the United States and even possibly go out as far as California.
The furthest that Brown has shipped one of his cakes is Burkina Faso in Africa. His ex-girlfriend was on a Peace Corps excursion there and she called upon Brown to make cakes for the people with her.
Brown continually struck a single point: follow your dreams. He said, “Direct yourself to greatness, answer your calls and answer yourself.”
“Direct yourself to greatness, answer your calls and an-
swer yourself.”-Warren Brown

With the beginning of a new year under way, the Student Government Association has been extremely busy. Members of the Senate and the Executive Branch have taken requests of the students very seriously and are dedi-cated to resolving issues such as parking and boosting school spirit.
Major legislation was introduced in the Senate last Thursday to create a special com-mittee with the primary focus on parking. The Senate approved this committee with a unani-mous vote.
The legislation was introduced by Presi-dent Pro Tempore Matthew Smither and Chairman Christian Nuccio. Chairman Nuc-cio explained that the legislation “established a new five-senator committee to examine, monitor, and report on current conditions re-garding student parking on campus to both the Student Senate and the students.”
The Senate will coordinate efforts with the internal Student Affairs committee, chaired by Chris McDonald, and the Executive Secretary for Special Committees, Megan Smith.
This parking committee has an email ad-dress, [email protected], and encourages students to send their parking sto-ries and suggestions to the inbox along with their name, year, and whether they are a com-muter or resident. If students are interested
in serving on the committee, they should also send an e-mail to that address.
Other legislation passed for consideration included five internal resolutions, a resolution concerning the color of the graduating caps and gowns, and the weekly student organiza-tion funding legislation.
The Student Senate convenes every Thurs-day at 5:00pm Student Union room 200, nick-names the “fishbowl”. Senate meetings are open to the public and students sitting in the gallery are given an opportunity to ask ques-tions or make comments.
The Executive Branch of the Student Gov-ernment is planning a town hall meeting that was rescheduled for later this month. This town hall meeting will give students and staff a chance to ask questions and give concerns on a wide range of issues. Issues such as football, environmental sustainability, parking and din-ing services, and school spirit and tradition on campus are expected to be discussed.
If you have any questions about what is going on in the life of this school and in the Student Governement Association, you may contact Raegan Perry (Secretary for Press and Public Relations) at [email protected], look up SGA on Facebook, or visit us on the second floor of the student union. The SGA website is sga.uncc.edu.

Everyone has heard of Facebook. Nearly everyone has a page. What started out as a simple site for college students has grown into a universal tool for worldwide networking. One of the best things about Facebook is that it makes it easy to know what’s happening with your friends, in your community, even the world. Facebook is a public service and is popular because of the simple fact
that people want to be connected. These days, it’s pretty much a necessity.
Life is really busy. With school and work, everything is time consuming and you barely have any free time. Using Facebook really simplifies things and makes it easier to maintain your social life. It’s easy to keep up and keep in touch with people through Facebook. I am a transfer student
here at UNC Charlotte and most of my closest friends live five hours away. Sure, we text and talk on the phone, but being able to visit their pages and seeing their pictures makes me feel like maybe we are not so far apart.
Besides people, Facebook makes it easy to stay connected to the world and/or community we live
in. Most of the events I attend on campus I found about because it was publicly posted on Facebook. It’s an excellent outlet for businesses and new companies. It makes networking extremely easy and advertising on Facebook is like having a worldwide billboard. Facebook makes self-promotion easy for up-and-coming artists and musicians. There is even Facebook Marketplace if you are looking for something in your area you want to buy or sell.
Facebook is public because that just makes sense. In a way, having a Facebook page is like advertising yourself, presenting yourself to the world. You cannot control the Internet, but you can control what you put on your page. If something is so private you don’t want anyone to know about it, then keep it off of Facebook. Privacy controls allow you to decide who sees what, what goes up or down. At the end of the day, you have full control of your page.
Facebook also makes it easy to keep tabs on people. Let’s say you had a boyfriend who told you that he was hanging with some friends one night. When you call him he tells you it’s just a movie night, nothing major. Well, when you get on Facebook the next day you see that he has been tagged in all these wild and crazy pictures! When you confront him about the night, he lies to your face about it because he are unaware of the photos. You probably would have believed them, but you are not a fool, you have proof! Thank you, Facebook!
Erin rEEvEStaff Writer
Facebook is an online, social networking system that connects people from all over the world on to one tiny website. There is little privacy, as everyone can intrude into your life with the click of a mouse. These people could be your future boss, your best friend, or a sexual predator. Either way, they could potentially be an important part of your life, just as they may already be stalking you.
So why make all your Facebook photos, information, and activities public? Who needs to keep your photographic or informational memories but you? Generally, the people who you want to look at your photos, are not, and if they are, you’re probably the one showing them because you’re close to them and bragging about all the cute guys or girls you have hung with lately (i.e. your best girlfriends/boyfriends). The other people, however, could be finding out information about you that they did not already know, and without a word from your mouth, judge you.
No matter what anyone says and how much we wish the world would change, everyone judges. Without a defense or explanation from you, people judge you by the skeleton on your shirt or the drink in your hand. Assumptions will be made, and you will lose a job or a friend because of it.
Since, due to different stereotypes, people may be expected to act a certain way, and when they do not, people make assumptions. Take an athlete for example. They are expected to be of upmost fitness and athletic ability, and a picture of them stuffing their face with cake or food could lead to the assumption that they are not good or are careless of their talents. Another example would be that of a sophisticated journalist. Generally, people
associate brilliant writers being for the North, and very artsy and liberal. Not everyone falls into that stereotype, but people could assume their illegitimacy due to country lyrics or misspelled words and wrong grammar on a casual site.
Religion and political views also play a crucial role in the judgment of others via Facebook. People can assume you act a certain way because of your religion. They could criticize you for your drinking or sexual photos when your page says you’re a Christian, or dismiss you from a regular hangout if you say you don’t believe at all.
Political standpoints can separate, as well. Just as with religion, people can assume and stereotype you because you support a certain political party. People could assume you are too liberal and artsy for a conservative event, or too uptight for a rock concert. Either way, the stereotypes are outlandish and no one should have to categorize and put a label via Facebook on their beliefs, whether it be political or spiritual.
People may think you’re too much of a good girl (if your pictures are all with your family) and “forget” to invite you to the bar, or too crazy to take home (if your pictures are all of you pole dancing). Either way, your life is your life, and the way you chose to live it is your decision. No one should have to judge or decipher your life by stalking your information and life through a website.

30 years is a long time to run from the police, but that’s exactly what Roman Polanski got away with. According to AP News, in 1977, the-44-year-old Polanski became with in a scandal involving 13-year-old Samantha Gailey.
The Oscar-winning director pled guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with Gailey in 1978, but soon after fled the U.S., and a warrant for his arrest was immediately issued. An international warrant was issued in 2005. He was finally arrested on Sept. 26, while in to Switzerland to attend the Zurich Film Festival. He was there to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
It is obvious that what he did to Gailey laid very heavily on his conscience. He pled guilty, then left the USA and traveled around Europe, trying to escape the law. He got away with it for three decades before law enforcement finally caught up with him. The Swiss Justice Ministry rejected his plea to be released from custody, so he will remain incarcerated for an extended period of time because they believe he is a danger to society.
Although it is a great reflief to know he’s in custody, how does it take that long to capture a sex offender? A Polanski has citizenship in both Poland and France. At the time of his arrest, both countries
were supporting him and not cooperating with the US. However, a few days later, they changed their minds and sided with the US. Even his own places of citizenship don’t want him to disgrace them anymore.
Regardless of status, celebrity, fame, awards, and popularity, a crime is still a crime. Rape, drugging, and sexual abuse are despicable acts, no matter who commits them. Polanski doesn’t deserve to get away with his crimes simply because he is a talented director. Unfortunately for celebrities in today’s world, fame isn’t a defense in court--and court is exactly where Polanski should be going. Samantha Gailey deserves justice for what she had to go through, and that justice will not be served until Polanski pays for what he did, whatever that price might be. As terrible and bizarre as this case is, it just needs to end so everyone involved can finally move on.
Polanski is a 76-year-old award-winning director and he is spending his days now in a Switzerland jail cell because of a choice he made over 30 years ago. Actions have consequences, and apparently he didn’t think his would catch up to him. Fame and awards don’t protect a person from the law, and hopefully Polanski learned that when the cuffs clicked onto his wrists. He’ll have time to think about his actions while he’s sitting in jail.
Polanski is not getting away with it anymoreFor 30 years Roman Polanski was able to escape the police, but his grand scheme has come to an end

Dear Sir or Madam, It seems to me that the writer has missed the
point, or to be more accurate, is looking for a different kind of degree.
A two-year associate’s degree comes closer to what the piece describes as ideal (just the courses that pertain to the major). A bachelor’s degree is something else entirely, indicating to the world that the holder has attempted to learn things outside of his or her field.
The major described in the piece is Communications. I wonder, if one holds such a degree, if all the courses are in that field, on what topics might the holder communicate? Not science or human behavior or art or music, as the student only took courses in one field.
As to repeating coursework from high school, I suggest testing out. Many departments give exams for those who have mastered the material (especially at introductory levels) for a fraction of the cost of tuition. Why would you repeat a math or English course if you have mastered it?
These courses are offered because not everyone has had the same experiences as the writer, and may need them to reach minimal competence.
I find myself using concepts nearly every day from economics and biology courses a decade ago. If we only learn one thing, we miss out on all the world has to offer.

“It’s not a Seinfeld reunion,” says HBO.
For the thousands of “Seinfeld” fans out there who have been craving a comeback since the show’s final episode on May 14, 1998, your wait is finally over. Although it won’t technically be a reunion, Larry David, the shows one-time producer (and co-creator) is saying that we may be looking at the closest thing we will ever get.
It is hard to believe that it’s been eleven and a half years since we last saw the outrageous foursome doing a lot of “nothing” throughout New York City.
As you remember, the series ended with Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer being sentenced to
some hard time in a New York State Penitentiary for crimes against humanity.
With the prison bars closing on the gang, fans were left wondering “What now?”
Larry David, the current creator, producer, and star of the HBO hit comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has an answer. Before “Curb” began its seventh season, the big news surrounding the show would be the highly anticipated return of the “Seinfeld” cast.
The cast returned this week on the season’s the third episode, appropriately entitled “The Reunion” which aired Sunday night on HBO. Its plot brings the cast back together as Larry, who plays an exaggerated version of himself, is asked by a faux-NBC exec to consider a “Seinfeld reunion.”
The hilarity in the episode is found in the dialogue between the cast and Larry, as they don’t want to make a “typical reunion” episode or one that “was done for all the wrong reasons” (like so many before).
“Seinfeld’s” main cast, Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards, are all brought back together as themselves, because Larry sees the reunion as a chance for some personal gain (a common theme throughout “Curb’s” prior six seasons).
In case you have never seen the show, it centers on David seemingly always causing trouble for his now-estranged wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) and friends Jeff and Susie (Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman) in some way or another.
Just like the show he helped create with Jerry all those years ago, everything is connected and the smallest details could play into each episode’s conclusion.
As you would expect, the entire plan begins to unravel. The first reunion episode ends by putting Larry in a very tight spot.
If you want to catch the continuation of the “Seinfeld” gang back for a limited time only, be sure to tune in to HBO on Sundays at nine, for a “reunion” that is sure to be a part of TV history.

In anticipation of the third “Toy Story” film, to be released on June 18th of next year, Pixar Animation re-released “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2” as a double feature in Disney Digital 3D.
While I was excited to see a childhood favorite in 3D, I was disappointed. The movie lasted over three hours with a ten-minute intermission between the films. By the end of the second film, many of the children in the theater had become agitated and unbearably annoying.
Regrettably the 3D effects in the “Toy Story” double
feature were less than stellar. In fact the effects were dismal at points. When Toy Story first came out, it had a 3D-ish feel to it and was visually impressive, but compared to contemporary animation, “Toy Story” felt somewhat antiquated. Honestly, the previews for upcoming movies were the most satisfactory part of the experience.
Personally, I am a big Disney fan and had high hopes for “Toy Story” in 3D. Fourteen years after the original release though, “Toy Story” in 3D is just not that impressive.
This was not the opinion of everyone in the theater though. Afterwards the little kids were
saying how the movie was cool. “Toy Story” is still a great
movie in its own rite, but not worth the $10.50, or an astronomical $13.50 per ticket at Concord Mills.
This winter, Disney will be releasing the special 3D version of “A Christmas Carol” featuring Jim Carey. Based off of the preview, the effects in “A Christmas Carol” are going to be substantially better than those in the “Toy Story” re-release.
3D is the latest fad in filmmaking, but it is not a recently technology. Since the sixties, there have been attempts to integrate 3D technology into films, but without much success.
It is simply something that has jumped in and out of popularity for decades.
Producers and directors hope that with improved video quality and other advances in technology, this go-around with 3D will go over better than the last attempt. The new 3D technology does not utilize the red and blue glasses that are known to cause headaches and make movie-going unpleasant.
Hopefully future Disney 3D endeavors will make better use of the technology, which include “Beauty and the Beast” to be re-released in early 2010.

Seven Charlotte 49er student-athletes earned Atlantic 10 weekly honors on Monday. Men’s golf senior Corey Nagy, women’s cross country junior Amanda Goetschius, women’s soccer senior Hailey Beam, and men’s soccer sophomore Evan James earned A-10 Player of the Week honors. Earning rookie of the Week accolades were volleyball freshman Bianca Rouse, cross country freshman Maria Ruiz, and Jennings Rex of men’s soccer.
Finishing 12th in the Charlotte Invitational 5k with a personal best time of 17:58, Ruiz picked up her second A-10 Rookie of the Week honor of the year. Ruiz also won Rookie of the Week Sept. 8 for her second place finish in her collegiate debut at the USC Upstate Eye Opener.
Goetschius, the 2008 Atlantic 10 Individual Champion, had a runner-up finish at the Charlotte Invitational and earned the honors for her personal best time of 17:09. In a field of more than 200 competitors, Goetschius led the 49ers to a first-place finish in the meet.
Defending A-10 Champion Corey Nagy was named A-10 Golfer of the Week after recording his third career individual victory at the VCU Shootout. Nagy finished the tournament at six-under, 210. The three-time all-American led Charlotte to a ninth-place team finish after firing an opening round 69 and shot a two-under 70 in the final round to win the title by two shots.
Rouse put up a career-high 16 kills against just one error in 32 attempts in Charlotte’s five-set win over Fordham in the Dig Pink Match and led Charlotte in kills in both conference matches this
weekend. The award marked the third time this season that a Charlotte volleyball player has won Rookie of the Week honor and was the first time for Rouse.
Beam scored the game-winner in each of Charlotte’s wins last weekend and is also second on the team in goal-scoring with seven. She has 33 career goals and is just four goals shy of breaking the program’s all-time scoring record.
Beam earned Player of the Week honors for her role in the team’s victories over Rhode Island and Massachusetts last weekend. It marked the fourth time in her career that Beam won the award. The women’s soccer team has had a player win the award in three consecutive weeks and four times this season.
James scored a goal and assisted on the game-winner in Charlotte’s 3-1 win over #3 Wake Forest last Tuesday to take home Player of the Week honors. The 49ers’ road win snapped the Demon Deacons’ nation’s best 46-match non-conference unbeaten streak. The men’s program has won Player of the Week honors three times this season, the recognition also marked the second time this season that James has won the award. TopDrawerSoccer.com named Charlotte the National Team of the Week for the second time this season.
Rex scored the game-winner on his only shot against #3 Wake Forest in the team’s 3-1 win last week. Rex also made his first career start in the team’s 1-0 win over Furman last Saturday. The award gave men’s soccer a clean sweep of the weekly A-10 awards after Rex won Rookie of the Week for the second time this season.

49er volleyball is looking up this season, having won 10 of their last 12 matches, including a four-game winning streak at home. On Sunday, they improved their home record to 6-1 by defeating a top contender, Rhode Island, who visited Charlotte for some competitive Atlantic 10 Conference volleyball. Charlotte was able to pull out a win, (25-16, 13-25, 25-11, 25-20), the win bumps Charlotte up to 12-7 overall, 3-1 in league play.
The team has already topped the last year’s conference win total with their four-match rampage. Rhode Island now has a record of 5-10 for the season, 0-4 in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Under Coach Chris Redding, 49er volleyball has an incredible record of 21-10 at home.
“I am very excited for our team to finish off a great weekend, beating a tough URI opponent that had beaten us here last year,” said Redding. “One thing we’ve been working on is the balance of our offense attacks. We talked about getting out in front instead of having to come from behind. It’s a product of working hard as a team in practice and
it is paying off on the court.” Coach Redding’s new techniques seem to be
paying off.Charlotte’s freshman duo consisting of Jenna
Litoborski (Lemont, Ill.), and Bianca Rouse (Columbia, S.C./ Keenan HS) racked up 11 kills each, leading all players in the match. The senior Co-Captain, Jennifer Webb (Tuckasagee, NC/ Hickory HS) contributed ten kills as well.
Sophomore setter Sheri Davis (Cape Coral, Fla/Evangelical Christian HS) had a remarkable 41 assists. Senior Kaitlin Knight had 18 kills in the match, a record setting accomplishment. Hicks nearly picked up a double-double by adding 10 digs and 9 kills to the match.
Charlotte will be in action again tommorow night when they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Duquesne Dukes. Duquesne is 11-6 on the season, 2-1 in conference play. They sufferedn their first conference loss at the hands of St. Louis last Friday. Charlotte then travels to the Gateway City for a battle with No. 23 Saint Louis on Sunday at 2 pm.

After a strong start this season, the Charlotte 49ers men’s soccer team (6-1-2) has been ranked in all the major college polls this week. The Niners were ranked in the National Soccer Coaches Association Poll (NSCAA) last week, but after road wins over No. 3 Wake Forest and Furman, the 49ers have jumped from #22 to #15 in the latest NSCAA poll. In the latest Soccer America poll, Charlotte is tied for 25th. The Niners are ranked #18 in the TopDrawersoccer.com, #20 in the College Soccer News and #23 in Soccer Times polls.
Since an opening-game loss on the road to SEC power South Carolina, the 49ers have gone unscathed; going 6-0-2. Since then, Charlotte has amassed wins over prominent NCAA Tournament team participants Furman, Wake Forest, and Winthrop.
Leading the way for the nationally ranked 49ers is sophomore forward Evan James. The reigning
A-10 Player of the Week leads Charlotte in goals with four and points with 14. Senior midfielder Luke Exley and A-10 Rookie of the Week freshman forward Jennings Rex are tied for second on the teams with three goals apiece. James is tied with senior midfielder Adam Gross and junior forward Andres Cuero for the team-lead in assists with four each. Gross finds himself fourth on the squad with four goals.
Defensively, Charlotte has posted two shutouts and limited six teams to a goal or less this season. Behind the play of senior goalkeeper David Martin and senior defender Nathan Mathers, sophomores Isaac Cowles and Charles Rodriguez and freshman Justin Tucker have been strong this season.
Charlotte begins Atlantic 10 play at home this weekend when they take on George Washington and Richmond at Transamerica Field, October 9-11.

The coming of fall may signal clouds and rainy days for some, but fall also brings with it many new festivals and activities unique to these months as the air cools. This fall break, there is a plethora of things to do and reasons to look forward to this time of year.
Sky Top Orchard in historic Flat Rock, NC, is a fun way to spend an autumn day. Sky Top’s Web site, www.skytoporchard.com, promises “cool weather, pumpkins, fall decorations,
and of course plenty of apples.” Along with picking apples, many activities await you at the orchard, including fresh squeezed apple cider, hayrides, a bamboo forest, and an observation beehive. Over 25 apple varieties can be found at Sky Top, and their Web site specifies which kinds are ready to be picked in early and middle October. It also offers several recipes as options for the apples once they are picked. There are over forty acres to explore as visitors enjoy fresh caramel or fudge apples or cake doughnuts made before their eyes. A “barnyard area” is also on
site with sheep, goats, turkeys, peacocks, and chickens; ponds serve as home to ducks and geese. Sky Top is open all week beginning at 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., Aug.10 through Dec. 7.
For thrills and frights, Carowinds SCarowinds is open weekends through Halloween. On the Web site, www.scarowinds.com, a detailed schedule can be found along with a specific list of the rides that will remain open. This weekend, Oct. 9-11, SCarowinds will be open from 7 p.m. through midnight. Attractions include 3 “scare zones,” 8 mazes, shows, and most of the park’s typical rides and games. The Web site general admission price is $33.99, and there are discounted prices for tickets good for a visit to the park on 2 different nights.
Aw Shucks! Corn Maze in Monroe has much to offer this fall as well. Visitors to Aw Shucks! will find the Old Fashioned General Store, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, and picnic areas. New additions to the corn maze this year include a fishing pond, nature trail, duck races, pony rides, an annual horseshoe tournament, and turkey shoot. As far as the maze itself, it is created “with a new design each year,” and “the paths will challenge some and
entertain even the youngest of outdoor adventurers,” said the Aw Shucks! Web site, www.awshuckscornmaze.com It also suggests trying the maze at night with a flashlight for an extra challenge. The corn maze is open Fridays from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a 9 dollar general admission price. On certain days the 13th Acre will take place next to the Aw Shucks! Corn Maze, offering a haunted trail. The 13th Acre Web site, www.the13thacre.com, warns, “You might pay to get in, but you’ll pray to get out!” The 13th Acre has a 10 dollar admission fee,
but there are also combo tickets available for 15 dollars each that will grant entrance to both the Aw Shucks! Corn Maze as well as the 13th Acre.
The Renaissance Festival opens this coming weekend and offers two adult tickets for 20 dollars Oct. 10 to 11 only with coupon. These coupons save 18 dollars and can be found at several locations including Chick-fil-a, Dunkin Donuts, and printed in the Charlotte Observer. The festival has a variety of entertainment such as a jousting tournament, the world’s largest rocking horse, and “a feast fit for a king,” along with games and rides. On the
Renaissance Festival’s Web site, www.royalefaires.com/carolina, a full list and schedule of events can be found. In the festival’s marketplace over 100 artisans will be displaying their crafts, from hand blown glass art to leatherwork to clothes and jewelry. The event has free parking and runs Saturdays and Sundays from Oct. 10 through Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Autumn brings many new activities with it, and this fall break provides an excellent opportunity for students to enjoy them.

The Rugby Club is the longest active club at UNC Charlotte and this fall the team began their 21st year and 41st season. Rooted in tradition the Rugby Club features a group of guys that love the sport of rugby, but also help the community off the field with a host of volunteer efforts. The club was also fundamental in bringing the women’s team back after an almost ten year hiatus.
The club trains every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8:30 p.m. on the recreation fields behind Transamerica Field. Usually the club has more than 40 members show up for training, and even more for matches. The first 15-20 minutes of training consists of fitness, where the men stretch to prepare their bodies for the physical practice ahead. The next segment consists of the team working on fundamentals such as ball control, passing, and tackling. Near the end of
training the coach’s split up the team into different squads and they scrimmage against each other.
Rugby is one of if not, the most physical sports in the world. Players from either side maintain almost constant contact with their opponent during the entire match. The scrum is used to restart play after a minor offense. A scrum in rugby is similar to a faceoff in hockey, or a jump ball in basketball. In the scrum players from both teams
crouch down and push against their opponents, jockeying for control of the ball. Scores are achieved through either a kick, drop kick, or try. A kick or drop kick is achieved when a player successfully kicks the ball through the goal posts similar to football. A try is much like a touchdown, where the player must have control of the ball and touch it between the try line and the dead ball line (goal line and out of bounds for football fans keeping score at home).
Though the rules may seem hard to understand at first, once you watch the game a lot of things will begin to make since and look familiar. The team just got back from Rucktoberfest, which is the largest rugby tournament in the Southeast. The team traveled to Appalachian State this past weekend where UNC Charlotte competed against local clubs and teams from all over the East Coast. The team is preparing for the state tournament coming up at the end of this month in Danville, Virginia.
Off the field the Rugby Club participates in many volunteer efforts. In the past the members have been involved in Toys 4 Tots, 2nd Harvest Food Bank, and Relay for Life, the club also has hosted a blood drive, which they hope to get involved with again this semester. Team Captain Iman Saadat coaches the local high school team, VC Gold, which consists of students from Vance and Cabbaras High
School. In addition to coaching a team, Iman and the other club members organize clinics for the youth around the area to learn the fundamentals of the sport.
The team also organizes regular club events, which include camping on available weekends and playing paintball one Sunday every month. The team also works very closely with the newly reestablished women’s team. The men’s club provided the girls with their current jerseys, and also helped their current officers with financing, fundraising and marketing.
Almost all club sports aspire to be recognized as a varsity team, and Imaan echoes these sentiments “We are hoping with strong support from both on and off the field we will move one step closer in becoming a varsity sport team, in which case we may hopefully be allowed to play in the soccer stadium one day.”

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However,
this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice
and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.” -V, “V for Vendetta”
