As the crowd rushed the court in a celebratory mob, a sense of relief and victory swept over Allstate Arena, and DePaul players had one general thing going through their minds.

“I loved it, I loved every moment of it. I hope we get some more like that.” Sophomore guard Brandon Young said.

“That was the best feeling of my life,” said sophomore forward Cleveland Melvin. “It was a great experience, I loved it.”

Neither Young nor Melvin had experienced a rushed court in their two seasons at DePaul.

DePaul’s thrilling 84-81 upset victory over Pittsburgh broke the Blue Demons’ 15-game home losing streak in Big East play. This win was also the first over the Panthers as a member of the Big East.

With the students back on campus for the start of the winter quarter, the “Section 6” student section was as loud and crazy as it had been all season. It had an effect at the start of the game as the Blue Demons jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead. From there, Pittsburgh used a grind-it-out defense to slow the game down and cause turnovers, leading to easy Panthers bucket

‘“I thought it was a tale of two halves for us. We kind of just hung in there in the first half. We were close enough to where we could just see them. The second half I thought we were really, really good.” head

coach Oliver Purnell said.“Really, really good,” described

DePaul Law Students have to rethink their graduation plans after their ceremony was relocated in anticipation of two important summits in international diplomacy, and G8 and NATO summits, coming to Chicago in May.

While holding such prominent leaders

from several countries to discuss current economic and foreign issues might make up for losing the bid to host the 2016 Olympic games, it caused a significant inconvenience for the law schools graduation.

The college was forced to move the location of their graduation from the Lyric Opera House fifteen miles to the Rosemont Theater because of inevitable security and congestion

According to Gregory Marks, Dean

of the Law School, the school—and the university--did not have a choice in the matter.

“My job was to help the university find the best possible local alternative under the constraints,” Dean Mark saiaI did my level best to keep the students informed about the change,” Dean Mark said.

According to Chastidy Burns, a third year law student and president of the Student Bar Association, students were unsure about the change.

“There was a lot of concern about it,” she said. “It’s always been at the Lyric Opera House.”

Burns also noted that it was initially difficult to come up with a different location for such a large event.

“They had a lot of trouble finding a location that was big enough,” she said.

However, she also said that she was pleased the location isn’t “terribly far from

The proposed remapping of the 43rd ward has Lincoln Park residents worried as some may find themselves belonging to one of five different wards if the proposed remapping passes.

Every ten years, Chicago’s City Council must redraw the ward maps to reflect population shifts, which are based on the latest census. The proposed remapping of the 43rd ward – which encompasses most of Lincoln Park -- including DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus -- caused an uproar with residents who may find themselves belonging to a different ward if City Hall passes the redistricting.

If passed, the ordinance will take effect April 1, 2012. On Jan. 11, residents, Ald. Smith and 33rd ward alderman Richard Mell will hold a public forum at 6 p.m. in DePaul University’s Cortelyou Commons to discuss the issues residents have over the redistricting.

The Black Caucus proposal, known as “Map For a Better Chicago,” will divide Lincoln Park into five wards: the 43rd, 44th, 32nd, 27th, and 2nd. This could cause big problems for 43rd ward residents, who now might be incorporated into a different ward, and for 43rd ward alderman, Michele Smith.

If you passed by the State Street entrance to the 14 E. Jackson building on your way to class last week, you might have noticed a picture of a kind-looking woman surrounded by flowers in the window.

She is former first lady of Chicago Maggie C. Daley, who passed away in late November at age 68 of cancer. The picture is DePaul’s memorial to Daley’s life and contributions to the city.

Director of Community Affairs at DePaul said it was very important for the school to pay tribute to Maggie because of her many contributions to the city, particularly the After School Matters program, which she began 20 years ago.

The 14 E. Jackson building where her picture is on display was named the Richard M. and Maggie C. Daley building. A dedication ceremony involving DePaul administrators, community leaders, trustees and members of the Daley family attended the dedication ceremony last December.

DePaul named 14 E.

Jackson building the Richard M. and Maggie C. Daley building to honor Richard, who attended DePaul’s College of Law, and Maggie’s contributions to the university and to Chicago. The College of Communication and the department of public affairs currently reside in the Richard M. and Maggie C. Daley building.

Casey said Richard Daley expressed that he was very grateful that DePaul honored Maggie with this memorial. The tribute will be on display for returning students to see until Friday, January 13.

DePaul pays tribute to Chicago's former first lady

Commuters, keep your change

The condition of truth in the New Year

As of Jan. 1, 2012, the Il-linois Tollway has demanded a 35 cent I-PASS increase. Fares will range from 75 cents to $3.90, 87 percent higher than the rate commuters have been paying for the last 29 years.

Professor Manzoor from the College of Education said she was “surprised” when at the beginning of December, just one month before the fee was implemented, a large ban-ner warned commuters of the upcoming fee hikes.

Professor Manzoor has de-cided to avoid the Tollway al-together. Coming from North Lombard she used to pass through six to 10 tollbooths, but she will now opt for a lon-ger, tollbooth-free commute. Although the extra commute will cost her more time, it will mean over a thousand dollars saved over the course of a year.

According to the Illinois Tollway committee, concerns like Professor Manzoor's are too little too late. The Illinois Tollway Board conducted 15 listening sessions around Northern Illinois and consid-ered countless letters, emails and website submissions. Their diligent work resulted in an 85.5 percent positive response with 9.5 percent op-posed.

But in a city notoriously known for refusing to agree on one baseball team or often snidely refuting to acknowl-edge the former Sears Tower by anything other than it's

rightful name, it is hard to see how the Tollway Board's dili-gent efforts truly persuaded the commuters of a stubborn city like Chicago to quietly agree to a hefty pay increase.

But the Illinois Tollway claims it is for our own good.

According to the Illinois Tollway, the reconstruction project titled “Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driv-ing the Future” has plans to “improve mobility, relieve congestion, reduce pollution, create 120,000 jobs and link economies across the Mid-west region." This massive project is expected to improve Tri-state tollway (I-94, I-294, I-80), Veterans Memorial Toll-way (I-355), Reagan Memo-rial Tollway (I-88) and a $2.4 billion portion of the Jane Ad-ams memorial Tollway (I-90).

The only problem is, it will take 15 years and cost com-muters about $12 billion in to-tal. More than triple the cost of a 2005 project just now com-ing to a close $3.6 billion later.

Although students are not strangers to a hopeless job market and meager promises of a better future, it's hard to swallow this costly change on an empty wallet.

Arthur Wawrzyczek, 20, says he understands the need for extra funding for the 12 billion road expansion which would "add a few jobs and make the road easier to drive," but he wishes that the Illinois Tollway would have found alternative funding over the "financially-not-so-well-off drivers on the road."

Although the Illinois Toll-way ranks 29 among all 41 toll road agencies in the U.S. in terms of price, the Capitol Plan offered by the Illinois 7ROOZD\� FOHDUO\� VSHFL¿HV� WKDW�a promise has been broken by implementing the fee hike.

In 1953 when the Illinois

Tollway was created, the state legislature stipulated that the toll roads would become free-ways once the original bonds where payed off.

In the end, the fees never stopped. Like a guest who had far overstayed his welcome, the Illinois Tollway continued to acquire more loans and, in

return, collect more fees from its compliant hosts.

In 2004, the union was PDGH� RI¿FLDO� DQG� D� SUHVV� UH-lease was issued. The Illinois Tollway stated that the prom-ise was “well-intentioned but short-sighted,” and not con-siderate of the maintenance needed to answer to future de-

mands.Alexa Gianaris, 22, says

she does not want to pay for the mistakes the Illinois Toll-way has made on her daily commute to and from DePaul University.

“They are telling us crap, and I don't want to deal with it,” she said.

Illinois illegalizes disposal of old computers

NOT ALL RECYCLING CREATED EQUALNot all recycling facilities are as green and good for the environment as we would hope. Stringent Environmental Protection Agency regulations mean that many recycling companies export products to other countries to recycle, where there are fewer regulations, labor is cheaper, and there is a high demand for recycled materials like lead.

According to a 2010 EPA report, 13 U.S. recycling companies exported almost 440,000 metric tons of old lead batteries to facilities in Mexico, many of them close to residential neighborhoods, where a lack of funds and man-power has resulted in unsafe conditions for residents in the area. And those are the batteries that were shipped e^`Zeer�bm�l�lnli^\m^]�maZm�_Zk�fhk^�aZo^�^gm^k^]�F^qb\h�bee^`Zeer'

3.19 million tons of e-waste generated by the U.S. in 2009

17% of that e-waste was recycled; the rest was trashed

68% of consumers stockpile unwanted computer equipment, as of 2005

234.6 million unused electronic units were stockpiled in homes during 2007

DePaul students who re-ceived new electronic gadgets over the holiday season, take heed before you dispose of your old machines. You can no longer give that tired, slow laptop the traditional heave-ho into the garbage can.

As of Jan. 1, it is illegal to throw out old computers in Illinois.

!e new policy, one of a raft of new laws that went into e"ect New Year's Day, extends to other electronic devices such as cell phones, DVD players, and video game consoles, collectively called "e-waste."

!e basis of the law is to keep these items--and their hazardous components like lead and mercury--out of land#lls, while also recycling their usable parts.

At DePaul, where tech-nology has increasingly be-come a mainstay of education, there are several policies in place to safely dispose of old computers, fax machines, and other electronics as they are replaced by new models.

University-owned items are handled by DePaul's Pro-curement Services. Abe Reis-ing, who works on the PS sal-vage program, explained that there are two primary meth-ods to recycling electronics: Resold as is or salvaged for their parts.

Electronics which are still usable are wiped of their data and resold in the "salvage store" -- an online-only retail store marketed mostly to De-Paul students and faculty.

As for obsolete electron-ics?

"We work with recycling company N-1 Technologies," Reising said. "!ey take the electronics to their ware-house...to either resell or break down to scrap...we have never discarded (for trash) electronics as long as I've worked here."

Procurement Services does not take electronics from students yet, Reising went on to say, mostly due to a lack

of space. For students wish-ing to recycle their personal electronics, though, there are other avenues.

DePaul's Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) has been col-lecting batteries of all variet-ies, as well as old cell phones from students for the past four years. !eir receptacles can be seen all over the Lin-coln Park campus, and at the DePaul Center in the Loop campus.

At its last count, the battery-collecting program alone collected more than 1,000 pounds of used alkaline batteries, which equals more than 16,000 batteries.

!ey also keep a list of recycling locations in Chi-cago on their website, where students can take everything from old clothes to printers to pizza boxes. Graham hopes that the new law will bring an opportunity to further engage the community.

“We're really glad about this law,” said Jenny Graham, EHS manager. “It's tough for us to physically collect every-thing...now that this law is in place, we want to work on outreach.”

Gus Chagares, EHS spe-cialist at DePaul, thinks that the law will make it easier for people to be more environ-mentally conscious, in part because it gives companies who sell electronics an incen-tive to promote their own re-cycling programs.

According to the new law, electronics manufacturers must reuse or recycle at least 40 percent of the weight in each category of the electron-ics they sold in a certain time period, or face heavy #nes.

As a result, “if companies are smart, they'll promote that they're collecting (old electronics)," and make it easy for customers to recycle, Cha-gares said.

And if recycling e-waste is made easier for consum-ers, more will turn to it rather than their trash bins.

“If it's simple, it'll make a di"erence," Graham said. "!e law seems well-crafted in that regard.

integrity of the current boundaries of her ward.

A letter to residents detailed that, “according to the “Map For a Better Chicago” proposal, a division between five separate wards would mean daily services as well as large scale development projects would have to be handled by five separate offices.”

The letter went on to address the redevelopment of the Children’s Memorial Hospital site, a major endeavor in the Lincoln Park area with which Ald. Smith has worked closely since taking office roughly six months ago. According to a fact sheet sent from the alderman’s office,

“Under the proposed plan (“Map For a Better Chicago”), the area immediately surrounding the hospital will be divided into three wards, which could complicate the planning and execution of the redevelopment.”

Other projects, such as local festivals and programs, and the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Review have “the potential to be a nightmare, especially if five Aldermen have different goals.”

It will be much harder when four or five alderman have to be consulted to solve problems, support local festivals, programs and invest in much-needed infrastructure projects.

Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Review has the potential to be a nightmare, especially if five Aldermen have different goals. A new 2nd ward that stretches from Orchard to Kimball can hardly efficiently represent the various communities and constituents.

Richard Mell is the chair of the city’s committee on Committees, Rules and Ethics, which managed the redistricting process.

There are three factors to consider when redistricting the city. The first is that it is divided into 50 wards of equal population. The current population of Chicago will require each ward to represent 53,912 residents.

Wards should be compact and adjacent to one another. Ideally, they will mimic the city’s grid system.

Finally, in an effort to satisfy the requirements of the United States Voting Rights Act, the

United States Constitution, and the Illinois Constitution, wards must provide fair and equal opportunity for minority residents to elect representatives of their choice.

The result of the 2010

census indicate that while Chicago’s total population has decreased, there has been a significant increase of particular groups. The total population of Caucasians decreased by 52,449 and the

total population of African Americans decreased by 181,453, while the population of Hispanics, Asians, and other non-Hispanic, non-Asian populations increased by 12,200 respectively.

The summits also are putting a big

damper on many high school proms. Several streets will be blocked off dur-ing the summits and hotels used to host high school proms will house world leaders instead.

Hosting such prominent leaders from several countries to discuss cur-rent economic and foreign issues is an honor for the city and a logistical nightmare.

According to ABC News, Mayor Rahm Emanuel spoke personally to President Obama about allowing Chi-cago to host the summits. Since Chi-cago is the president’s home, it holds TXLWH�D�ELW�RI�D�ORW�RI�VLJQL¿FDQFH��

On Monday, Jan. 2, a 24-year-old man named Harry Burkhart was arrested in connection with multiple counts of arson in Los Angeles. Burkhart was a resident of Hollywood and a German national who has repeatedly claimed to officials that he is from Frankfurt.

His alleged crimes were the result of more than 50 fires that lasted for four days over New Year’s weekend. Not only were cars set ablaze, but the fire quickly spread to other buildings around them, some of which were occupied by sleeping residents.

The fires that were started are considered to be some of the worst arson incidents in the city since the riots of 1992. The

property damage from the arson is estimated to be around $3 million.

Luckily, no civilians were injured in the fires, but the blazes left a trail of smoldering debris in Hollywood, West Hollywood,

North Hollywood and the Fairfax district.

Although firefighters from Los Angeles have not reported any other suspicious fires since Burkhart’s arrest, they are still keeping a close eye out for

unexpected fires around the city. Police will not comment on the ongoing investigation.

On the other hand, Los Angeles is not the only city keeping a watch for these sorts of criminal occurrences. Even the city of Chicago keeps a close eye on such situations with the full knowledge of the type of destruction that fires bring to residents and property.

“Watching for these types of issues is just normal procedure. But it is still good to be always be aware of your surroundings, and to be particularly alert. If you see something suspicious, don’t be afraid to dial 911,” said Richard Rosado, a member of the Chicago Fire Department.

These types of issues can be alarming since DePaul is located in the city, but students have taken this situation into account and are “staying on their toes.”

"If anything, I try to be more observant of the people around me and aware of my surroundings. I don't think anyone can be overly cautious when it comes to these sorts of situations," said freshman Carolyn Maynard, majoring in media and communications.

“I’m glad they caught [Burkhart], and for students at DePaul, I would just like to say that if you see anything suspicious stay calm and contact the police immediately. If you are on campus, contact Public Safety,” said Resident Advisor Sekordri Lewis.

Obviously, DePaul University has little to worry about since these crimes of arson took place in Los Angeles. However, it is important to keep and eye out and have a fire escape plan in case of such an emergency. You never know if one day it will save your life.

THE BEST QUOTES FROM 2011

What is usually a routine piece of legislation has turned into a controversy between civil rights groups and the U.S. government. President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2012, and some of its provisions have proven unseemly to some Americans.

As a whole, the bill details topics such as threat prevention, the inner workings of the Department. of Defense and various policies for military personnel. The sections that have people talking are 1031 and 1032, which discuss how the government should qualify threats and handle detainees.

According to the legislation, people associated with Sept. 11 and al-Qaida, as well as other groups and supporters who prove to be a threat, can be detained without trial until the end of the conflict.

The heart of this controversy is the potential for the articles to apply to United States citizens. As a result, several civil rights groups have voiced their concern to the public.

“That is not an American piece of legislation,” said Daniel Massoglia, a member of Occupy Chicago.

The Occupy movement is one of the groups who have vocally opposed the passing of the bill. According to Massoglia, they have discussed it in general assemblies and are encouraging people to contact politicians and the White House.

“We remain committed to spreading the word about this,” he said. Massoglia also said he was surprised when Obama signed the bill.

“He campaigned on closing Gitmo,” he stated. “He has been an opponent of civil rights in this country. He expressed reservations in the signing statement. We

hoped he wouldn’t, but he did.” Aymen Abdel-Halim, the

communications coordinator for Chicago’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), described the bill as a violation of citizens’ constitutional and civil rights.

“This is kind of a widespread action against all Americans,” he said. “What we are seeing is a continued erosion of our civil liberties.”

“That’s essentially what we saw with the prisoners at Guantanamo,” he added.

Before the bill was passed, CAIR held a rally on Dec. 19 to protest it. They chose the date to align with the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights signing. Now that it’s passed, Abdel-Halim said CAIR is still

committed to educating its supporters.“We feel that these are issues that

need to be taken on,” he said. “This is not strictly a Muslim issue.”

“Personally, my first thoughts were disbelief,” said junior Keith Weber in regard to Obama signing the bill. He was surprised the bill got through with all of the details and believes it goes against what the president initially stood for.

“It will definitely change a lot of people’s ideas,” he said.

Weber also hypothesized that some politicians might not necessarily understand the bill’s text.

“I like to think people are naturally good,” he claimed. “They [the politicians]

are acting on fear. The people who created the bill are saying, ‘Oh, you should do all this stuff.’”

However, Weber recognized the other parts of bill that needed to get through, particularly involving military spending.

“That bill dictates what our military does in a year,” Weber said.

He just hopes it can be amended in the future to eliminate the policies on detainment.

“The bill leaves the door completely open,” he added. “There’s a lot of trust being pushed here without any checks and balances.”

“The big question comes down to: who gets to dictate this?”

Chicago is getting underway on plans for the G8 and NATO Summits that will be held in McCormick Place this May. It ZLOO�EH�WKH�¿UVW�WLPH�VLQFH�������ZKHQ�WKH�events took place in London, that the two events are being held in the same city.

It did not come as a surprise to many that Chicago was chosen to host the events, as it is President Obama’s hometown and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is the former Chief-of-Staff to the President. However, it does go against the tradition of putting the summits, particularly the G8, in relatively secluded areas. For example, the past two summits were held in Huntsville, Canada and Deauville, a beach town on the coast of France.

Reasons for the isolation is pretty easy to realize, as the summits are two of the largest international meetings held and heavy violence has a history of breaking out at them. That is one of the reasons why the summits have been deemed a National Special Security Event (NSSE) by the Department of Homeland Security. By

GH¿QLWLRQ��WKLV�PHDQV�WKDW�WKH�VXPPLWV�DUH�FODVVL¿HG�DV�SRWHQWLDO�WDUJHWV�IRU�WHUURULVWV��Under that categorization, the Secret Service now has oversight over event security, and the FBI has oversight of the law enforcement.

Freshman Biology major Nell Langner said she isn't concerned about the security situation concerning the summit.

“I supported the Olympics in Chicago- events such as this bring increased revenue for local businesses, hotels, and in many ways helps the people of Chicago economically."

� %DFN� LQ�6HSWHPEHU��FLW\�RI¿FLDOV�released a statement saying that they received $54.6 million in federal grants from the Urban Area Security Initiative. This is a grant that would be able to be used for the summits under NSSE categorization; however, there has so far been very little information released by the city when it comes to cost analysis, leaving many to wonder exactly how much of the tab will be picked up by the taxpayers.

Recently, police Supt. Garry McCarthy announced that the force will be switching to 12-hour shifts during the summits as opposed to the normal 8 1/2-hour shifts. Doing so will free up around a

third of the police force, but it also means paying overtime, the total cost of which the city has not yet released.

McCarthy said that he does not believe WKH� QXPEHUV� RI� RI¿FHUV� DUH� JRLQJ� WR� EH�an issue. Regardless, the Chicago Police Department will be required to undergo a certain amount of training in accordance to regulations set by Homeland Security for an NSSE.

In order to try and cut down on the violence that has surrounded previous summits, the mayor proposed new UHVWULFWLRQV� WKDW� ZRXOG� UDLVH� WKH� ¿QH� IRU�UHVLVWLQJ�RI¿FHUV� IURP���������� WR������$1,000. According to the ordinance, this includes “passive resistance.” which is otherwise known as “nonviolent protest” or “civil disobedience.”

It would also align all public spaces in Chicago with the Park District’s hours of 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Although not many people have questioned this change yet, it would mean that parks and paths that were previously available to runners and others as early as 4 a.m. would have to push up their hours. If these restrictions only lasted for the duration of the summit, then it might not upset too many early morning runners. However, according to the ordinance, the

only regulation that is set to expire would be the mayor’s additional power to enter into agreements, which will expire on July 31, 2012.

Alaina Reese, a Sociology major and freshman at DePaul, said, "I am not worried about the delays, and I don't think that people who aren't working a 9 to 5 have much to worry about.”

She also supports hosting the summits in Chicago. “Anytime you get a privilege like this, it opens up opportunities for the community, and can help change the attitude of many for the better.”

Debate has risen over yet another part of the proposal that allows for the CPD to enter into agreements with agencies such as the FBI to “deputize law enforcement personnel,” which would give them authorization to act on behalf of the CPD and therefore have access to control not only by federal law but also local Chicago law.

Of course, all of these newly publicized proposals, as well as threats and rumors of others yet to be released, have some activists fuming. The City Council is set to review Mayor Emanuel’s proposed regulations on Jan. 18.

2012 Homecoming details to be revealed tonight

It's that time of year again, the Blue Demons are back on the court and homecoming week is growing closer and closer.

Be sure to stop in the Lincoln Park Student Center on DePaul's campus to discover firsthand all of the details about

this year's homecoming dance. The DePaul Activities

Board (DAB) will host food and entertainment tonight at 6:30p.m. in Student Center room 120, as they reveal this year's theme, venue and spirit week information.

Previous years have been a definite success, with recent venues and themes including: "DPU loves the 80's at The Drake Hotel," "Vegas: Let Out Your Inner Demon at Navy Pier's Crystal Ballroom,"

and "All Aboard the Demon Express at Chicago's Union Station."

Surely this year will be equally impressive, with top-of-the-line venues and performing artists to make the night one for the recordbooks.

Attend tonight's "Save The Date" in the Student Center to be among the first to know the latest plans.

Some important dates to remember include Spirit Week, which will run from Jan. 15-22,

the Homecoming dance, which will be held on Jan. 20, the women's basketball game vs. UConn on Jan. 21 and the men's basketball game vs. USF on Jan. 22.

An excuse to let loose and have some fun with your fellow DePaul students, Homecoming is an experience that every college student should take full advantage of.

Where: DePaul's Lincoln Park Student Center, MPR 120.

When: 6:30 p.m.

Here we are, only a week into winter quarter and the stress of being back in the swing of things is already getting to us.

Focused on keeping up with class work and also on maintaining those New Year’s resolutions, it’s more important than ever to stay on track. Although, it’s certainly true that organizing everything may be easier said than done.

Have no fear; The DePaulia is here to help. Just for you, we’ve developed the 2012 back-to-school survival guide to ensure that your year is as memorable and successful as ever.

MAKE A BUDGET,

AND STICK TO IT.Many of us are notorious for

over-spending not realizing until halfway through the quarter our once loaded checking accounts have since dwindled into chump change.

Before you waste away the money you earned during Winter Break, check out this helpful app to help you manage your finances.

Mint is an application for your laptop and smart phone mobile devices that allows you to set a budget for each month and stick to it.

Job or no job, each member can cut out a certain amount they wish to spend based on an income or what is available in their accounts, and then create a budget for smaller amounts for miscellaneous items. (Movies, music, clothes, restaurants, groceries, etc.)

Mint also warns you both on your cell phone and via email when the pre-set amount is

overspent. This is an excellent way to keep yourself organized and on track.

To start budgeting all of your hard earned dough, go to www.mint.com.

STUDY YOUR HEART OUT.Take advantage of our

technology and use it to help you study. Another useful application that we found is Quizlet.

Quizlet allows students to create online flashcards, and practice them whenever need be.

This free application divides groups of flashcards by subject, and not only can flashcards be quizzed, but numerous test arrangements and games can help students studying different ways—suited to how they personally learn best.

For optimal results, sync your Quizlet with Flashcardlet, another smart phone app.

Flashcardlet allows members to download Quizlet flashcards to the phone, so flashcards can be studied on the go.

Instead of spending your time hand making a boatload of flashcards the day before exams, make them on Quizlet throughout the year so you are prepared for that final exam at the end of the quarter!

To start, go to www.quizlet.com.

STAY IN SHAPE.Our very own Ray Meyer

Fitness Center at 2235 N. Sheffield Ave. offers a number of fitness classes daily for students.

According to the website, “these non-credit instruction courses are progressive in nature and focus on experiential learning, skill building, mind-body wellness and fitness.

Classes are available throughout the year in various areas that include aquatics, yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness training,

martial a r t s , a n d safety training.”

The Ray Meyer is also open for individuals to use every day of the week.

Naturally, classes are there for you if you are interested, but you are also welcome to stop in and use the fitness equipment, running track, swimming pool and basketball courts—among other offerings.

Along with exercising, eating a healthy and nutritional diet is also helpful when it comes to staying fit.

One book and instructional program that we recommend is “The Dukan Diet” by Pierre Dukan. This book has transformed the way many people feel about eating healthy, staying fit, and losing weight.

You can pick up a copy at any Barnes & Noble.

ORGANIZATION IS KEY.You wouldn’t believe how

much it helps to keep yourself organized.

First things first, pick up a planner/organizer. These are available everywhere, from Target to right on-campus at the DePaul Bookstore. Keep the days filled with your class schedule, and list your homework for each class next to the corresponding label in the daily spaces.

When you get a syllabus from a professor, go over it and note all of the assignment due dates, quiz days, and exams. You can also keep track of the readings that will

need to be completed for specific days to make sure you have everything covered.

For your personal life, jot down your friends' birthdays and other important events. Being the first one to give someone a “Happy Birthday” text is a great way to show that you care enough to remember him or her on their special day. Make sure to list your own doctor’s appointments and other scheduled meetings as well.

Make lists for anything and everything. What you need from the grocery store, which homework assignments you need to complete, errands that need to be accomplished…anything.

When you finish something, cross it off the list. This helps you to visualize the amount of items that you have completed—seeing everything crossed off as completed is always a rewarding sight.

This organization needs to run throughout every aspect of your life, for the best results. Keep your apartment or dorm room clean, your study area, your closet, kitchen, bathroom, etc.

Having everything in place is a surefire way to keep your head in the present and moving forward with quickness.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.It’s no secret that coffee is a

staple for jump-starting your day.

To save money, get your own coffee maker and

a re-usable coffee mug instead of stopping at the Starbucks around the corner.

After your three cups in the morning, you may be thinking that coffee may not be the best choice for an afternoon snack. Fruits with Vitamin C can help you stay awake, and keep you healthy.

Bananas with peanut butter is also a good source of protein to keep you energized for the rest of the day.

FRANKIE SAYS, RELAX.Make time for yourself every

week. Take a day and sleep in, take a bubble bath, get a massage, paint your nails…

Do something that you love and that helps you chill out. If possible, take an hour for yourself every day and do something simple. Re-charge for the next day of work.

Have fun on the weekends—go out with your friends or stay in and rent some movies. Winter quarter means basketball season: Go cheer your Blue Demons at DePaul Basketball games (tickets can be reserved on Campus Connect), and the DePaul Activities Board is hosting Homecoming this month.

Just study hard, stay organized, remember to relax, and stay healthy. What better New Year’s resolutions could you ask for?

Facebook has some big changes in store for all of us this New Year; we just don’t know when the ball will drop, for good, that is.

Before you’re left in lingo between the old interface and the new timeline, accept your fate and take these steps to best SUHSDUH�\RXU�SUR¿OH�IRU�WKH�QHZHVW�design sweeping the pages of our favorite social media outlet—the Facebook Timeline.

First, start the seven-day editing period by searching ‘introducing timeline’ in the search bar and clicking the “get timeline” button at the end of the page.

From that point you have VHYHQ� GD\V� WR� HGLW� \RXU� SUR¿OH�before it goes live under the timeline feature; or you can choose to publish it at anytime using an easy-to-see button on \RXU�KRPH�SUR¿OH�

The most eye-catching feature of timeline is the new feature called the cover photo. 7KLV�� LQ� SODFH� RI� \RXU� SUR¿OH�picture, is going to be the world’s ¿UVW� LPSUHVVLRQ� ZKHQ� WKH\� YLVLW�your page.

8QOLNH� SUR¿OH� SLFWXUHV��many people choose a scenic background photo or an interesting graphic instead of a self-photo. Doing this allows IRU� \RXU� SUR¿OH� SLFWXUH� WR� EH�“framed” in a way by the cover photo and doesn’t overwhelm visitors with enlarged close-ups of your dashing smile.

Keep in mind, however, that MXVW� OLNH� SUR¿OH� SLFWXUHV�� FRYHU�photos are public.

Unfortunately the cover photo is the quickest and easiest addition with timeline. Taking full advantage of the new feature will require some time and a bit of effort.

Nothing new will show up on your page just yet; however it will be much easier to access posts from much longer ago, months—even years, all the way back to the day that you began using the site.

It’s important that you take the time and go through old posts to make sure there aren’t any ‘buried’ posts that you don’t want uncovered.

It is not a quick process, but the most thorough way to censor your timeline is by going to your SUR¿OH�DQG�FOLFNLQJ�WKH�µDFWLYLW\�log’ button. On this screen, you will be able to scroll through all the posts on your timeline;

some of which would be harder to catch if you try to edit by using the timeline itself.

In order to access posts choose a year and a month, then continue scrolling until you have KLW� WKH� ¿UVW� RI� WKDW� PRQWK�� 7KH�good thing about this feature is that it allows you to take a break and jump straight to a new month instead of having to scroll through an entire year.

When reviewing, there are a few different options for items posted on your own timeline: feature, allow, hide, remove, change date and add location.

Featuring a post makes it the entire width of your screen, however be careful when doing this with pictures because it sometimes distorts the image. Facebook will also automatically do this for events they deem as special such as trips taken or moves made.

The difference between hiding a post and removing it is that if you hide the post you will still be able to access it via the activity bar, but it will become invisible to everyone else (this is the same way you can access tagged photos that you have removed from timeline).

For posts that you made on friend’s walls, you have the

ability to remove it or change the date. The activity log will also

remind you who is able to view a particular post although there is no way to change that setting. For more recent events, all of these changes can be made on \RXU�SUR¿OH�LWVHOI�ZLWK�WKH�XVH�RI�the star icon in order to feature a story or the pencil icon to edit it.

The new map feature of Facebook timeline allows for friends to see where you have lived or visited and easily view the pictures you took in that location. It is a fun tool, but it will require you to add locations to all previous photos as well as new ones, if you want to use it to its fullest extent. Either clicking the “add photos to map” button on the map screen can do this; or you can accomplish the task individually through you photos section.

There are also a few ways to add locations to your map: adding a new location to a photo will automatically put it on the map, typing in “where you have been” on the map page, or adding a new life event.

The icon near the status bar RQ� \RXU� SUR¿OH� SDJH� FDQ� DGG� D�new life event.

There are many different options ranging from normal to ones like “does this really need to be on Facebook?” These

range from moving, getting a new roommate, or a new job, a new tattoo, new eating habits or new glasses… Each will ask you where this event occurred, and if that location was not already on your map it will be automatically added.

2QH� ¿QDO� IHDWXUH� WR� SD\�attention to is grouping. By using this, you can make any sort of post available to only the eyes of a certain group of people.

Those who are in the same networks as you will be automatically put into a group (i.e., DePaul University) but you can also form others by using the link on the left-hand side of your home menu. Although the old settings for restricting posts are still available, grouping allows you to get even more personalized.

There has been no concrete release date for timeline to take over the traditional ‘wall’ style, and there are still many people who do not want it.

But past changes have shown us that Facebook does not always listen to the complaints of its users, so my guess would be that eventually the timeline will be the GHIDXOW�SUR¿OH�IRU�HYHU\RQH�

Take our advice. Using this JXLGH� WR� HGLW� \RXU� SUR¿OH� QRZ�will help ensure you are not left scrambling to delete those naughty secrets when you are forced to switch.

18 The DePaulia January 9, 2012

As a new year unveils itself, it’s as good of a time as any to resolve that you’ll pick up that GPA.

Unfortunately, some students balk at the idea of holing up in the Richardson Library and running into hordes of fellow students. This can often be a deterrent for students in need of a quiet place to study.

The following are a collection of local coffee shops—all serving coffee and tea with free Wi-Fi—that are more than suitable alternatives to our glum library.

TOPICSIn early December, the coffee

bar Topics opened just a short walk from the Lincoln Park Campus and owner Lou Vidaillet

has thought of it all. Topics was “designed for

productivity,” offering private workspace rentals for only 10 cents per minute ($6/hr.) as well as a printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine on top of the usual finds.

Students can stop by before class to do some last-minute studying and print an essay right from their laptop while picking up an addictive (and inexpensive) cup of Intelligentsia coffee or organic tea.

Getting work done at this location is anything but Richardson-Library-gloomy. The large and well-lit space is filled with sleek, minimalist furniture, familiar music at a reasonable volume, and the works of local artists.

Jared Applegate’s paintings currently line the walls and plans for a student gallery is in the works.

Overall, this is the place to find light-heartedness over pretension, and no choice need be made between getting a decent cup of coffee and printing that paper.

Mon-Fri: 6 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sat-Sun: 8 a.m.-6 p.m., 2122 N. Halsted St. topicsusa.com

NOBLE TREE COFFEE AND TEALocated on Clark Street

between Fullerton and Arlington, Noble Tree offers an environment unique from anything found at your local Starbucks.

The three-story, vintage home-turned-coffee shop wears its dust with pride and values its mismatched antique chairs, couches, lamps, and tables over any sleek, modern furniture that other places opt for.

The quiet, comfortable ambiance and guaranteed seating draws more customers than the menu, though Noble serves Metropolis coffee and a notably large selection of teas.

Highly recommended menu items include espressos, caramel lattes, and the vegan and gluten-free pastries.

The downside to this coffee bar is a slow Wi-Fi connection with a two-hour time limit, making it best for homework involving mostly reading and writing.

Mon-Thu: 7 a.m.-8:30 p.m., Fri: 7 a.m.-8 p.m., Sat-Sun: 8 a.m.-8 p.m., 2444 N. Clark St. nobletreecoffee.com

NADA TEA & COFFEE HOUSENada is another great place

t o get work

done right near Lincoln

Park Campus; only five stops west of

Seminary on Fullerton’s 74 bus.

There is nowhere better for students with skyrocketing stress levels than Lincoln Park’s only Japanese-style coffee house. The space was purposefully designed to create a Zen atmosphere complete with modern bamboo furniture, Japanese artwork, and faint classical music.

To boot: everything is delicious. The hot chocolate is rich and creamy, there’s food under $5 (the most popular being

Donburi rice bowls), and quality tea comes served on an adorable tray with an egg timer and all. Every ingredient used is free of MSG and any other artificial ingredients.

Keeping with the “Zen principle of simplicity,” Nada has minimal seating but is never full, thus, a great location for those easily distracted in a

crowded atmosphere.Mon-Fri: 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

(hours vary, call ahead), 1552 W. Fullerton Ave. nadateahouse.com

iCOMPUTE CAFE A year and a

half ago, MD Te c h n o l o g i c a l Services teamed up with iCompute Café to create an Internet café

that also offers computer repairs,

training, software, and accessories.

Along with free Wi-Fi, iCompute has a selection of computers to rent ($6/hr.) should yours be out of commission. A printer, copier, and scanner are all available as well.

Oh, and the cake drops alone are worth the trip; dense balls of chocolate cake dunked in a thick layer of Godiva chocolate—yum. Other bestsellers include their imported, Bridgeport coffee, Redbull, and brownies.

Mon-Fri: 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Sat: 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 2461 N. Lincoln Ave., icomputecafe.com

LINCOLN PERKLincoln Perk is a bit further

from campus than the other names in this collection, located just near Clark and Wrightwood. The cozy space envelops customers in warm, calming colors and displays of local art.

Unlike corporate coffee shops, it is rare to find more than a couple of customers enjoying the shop at a time.

Everything LP serves is home made including their selection of fresh baked pastries. Popular menu options include, of course, coffee, as well as sandwiches, paninis, tiramisu, and the Eggnog latte currently offered for the winter season.

This isn’t the place to come if you need a large table to spread out on, but just right for getting some reading done and working on a laptop in the company of some delicious food.

”“There is nowhere better for students with skyrock-eting stress levels...

NADA TEA & COFFEE

Out west there is a place called Portland, which sits on the banks of the Columbia River, bordering the states of Washington and Oregon. (Portland is in Oregon.)

It is best known as an environmentally green city thanks to its extensive public transit, cyclist-friendly roads, and efficient land use.

This is where the inhabitants of “Portlandia” reside, a place where hipsters go and do the things that hipsters do.

They frequent and own indie bookstores, boutiques, and coffeehouses. They one-up each other on which magazines and articles they have read.

(“Did you read the fortune cookie from last night?” “Did you read what that guy wrote in the sand at the beach?”)

They listen to indie rock and local musicians, and also know

someone who is in music (In the second season, Fred

and Carrie attempt to avoid attending their friends’ and others’ DJ nights.)

They make sure everything they eat is locally produced, grown, and/or raised.

“Portlandia” is a sketch comedy created and starring Fred Armisen (“Saturday Night Live”) and Carrie Brownstein (indie rock band Wild Flag.)

It returns for a second season of 10 episodes on Fridays starting Jan. 6 at 9p.m. on IFC. (The first season is available on Netflix Instant.)

The show originated from sketches that Armisen and Brownstein worked on over the course of several years that were posted online. (Videos can be found at thunderant.com)

“Portland is a city where young people go to retire,” quips Jason, one of many characters that Fred Armisen portrays in the musical sketch “The Dream of the ‘90s”, in which he discovers

that the 1990s are alive and well in Portland.

His fellow co-conspirator is Carrie Brownstein; best known for her work in the ‘90s-era band Sleater-Kinney and her current membership in the band Wild Flag, which released their first album last Sept.

The first season consists of six episodes that are a combination of short features loosely related to one another.

Some of the people we meet in “Portlandia” are Daniel and Meg, proud dumpster divers who use some of the food they find for a dinner party.

Diners Peter and Nancy are determined to make sure the chicken—named Colin—they are about to eat is from an organic farm outside of town by visiting the farm right as their server asks for their order.

In one of the most memorable sketches, trendsetters Bryce and Lisa place birds on various items at a gift shop. (“Put a bird on it!”)

Singer-songwriter Aimee Mann defends fellow singer-songwriter Sarah MacLachlan when Fred and Carrie create and destroy a piñata in the image of MacLachlan.

Actor Kyle MacLachlan, best known for “Desperate Housewives”, “Twin Peaks”, and numerous movies, is Portland’s mayor.

SNL’s Jason Sudeikis, Aubrey Plaza from “Parks and Recreation”, and award-winning filmmaker and Portland resident Gus Van Sant appear on the show in various roles.

In order to promote the show, the second episode (rather than

the first) of the new season is available to watch on ifc.com.

The episode starts off with a big parade. It’s not just any old parade; it’s an Allergy Pride Parade, celebrating those who are affected with allergies, from soy to daylight.

In one sketch, Carrie tries to get over a bad tattoo of Eddie Vedder on a guy she is dating. Then she goes on a date with Eddie Vedder himself, who is also sporting a bad tattoo of someone else.

Also two diehard “Battlestar Galactica” fans attempt to track down writer Ronald D. Moore and get him to write another episode, even reeling in that show’s stars Edward James Olmos and James Callis for the episode’s table reading.

Take a trip to “Portlandia”, where you can stay for dinner with the dumpster divers or retire right out of college (a true dream of the ‘10s.)

Lucky for you, Sandon Jurowski spent most of September 2009 “sequestered” to his room with the ever-notorious Swine Flu. Unable to return to work as an IT Director at UW Madison, Jurowski spent his time developing the perfect aid for actually sticking with that pesky New Year’s resolution: HabitForge.com.

The web site helps its users establish new habits (or break old ones) based upon the results of numerous studies confirming that it takes at least 21 days to form a habit.

Over the course of three weeks, HF offers continuous motivation by emailing daily check-ins, creating visual and statistical demonstrations of personal progress made, hosting a forum for individuals to get

in touch with others striving toward the same goal, as well as numerous new features in the works.

During the sign-up process, Forgers fill in the question to be emailed each morning: “Were you successful yesterday at…” Popular responses include, “exercising for 30 minutes,” “not smoking,” and “practicing guitar.”

The next section asks about the personal motivation behind the goal, specifically, the negative consequences of not sticking with the routine and the positive consequences of success.

These consequences will begin to appear in the emails should an individual fail to meet the prior day’s objective. From there, users simply begin to incorporate the new habit into their life and respond with a “Yes” or “No” in a daily email when asked if they followed through with the habit the previous day.

This is where the real incentive comes in.

See, the 21-day theory implies 21 consecutive days of self-discipline. If a user is, say, 13 days in to his or her goal of not eating meat, and on day 14 the dreaded “No” must be clicked for having given in to the immediate satisfaction of a juicy burger the day before, the count resets all the way back to zero out of 21 days.

As a result, habitforgers hesitate before indulging and consider the next morning’s email forcing them to own up to their actions. Clicking “No” inevitably induces a horrible feeling of disappointment as the process starts all over again, while being able to respond “Yes” results in a sense of pride and accomplishment for having resisted the urge to fold.

This method has motivated some users far beyond three weeks, reaching as high as 365 consecutive days of success.

From the email, users are taken to a personalized page

displaying a visual demonstration of the amount of progress made as well as an overall success rate.

For example, if you fail to follow through with your habit on the first day but are successful the following two days, the graph will show two of the 21 days as

complete and an overall success rate of 66 percent—not bad!

Unfortunately, like all loveable sites, HF has introduced a new charge for those working toward the formation of more than one habit.

The bright side: it’s much less overwhelming to work toward a single goal at a time and the prices are mighty cheap should a user choose to aim toward

establishing more than one habit simultaneously—only $2.95 for six months and $4.95 for a year.

These new fees are also helping to develop new features like “Price of Failure,” which turns habit-forming into a betting game. Users declare, “If my success rate __ days from now is not at least (certain percentage) then I will pay (certain amount of money) to” either a chosen friend or listed charity (American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Water Project, Democratic National Party, Republican National Party.)

Other capabilities include joining groups and teams, and having the help of a personal coach to check in and offer some encouragement on a weekly basis.

Shape Magazine, MSN, Timothy Ferriss’ #1 bestseller, “The 4-Hour Body,” Star Magazine, and PC World’s, “112 Best Free Sites”, have recommended HabitForge.

A ton of us create New Year resolutions to “work out more” or “spend more time exercising,” but instead of promising yourself you’ll hit the gym and failing to follow through, try something new and hit the dance studio to get moving in 2012.

Whether you’re an experienced dancer, or you just want to try it out, the Joffrey Ballet offers open dance classes in all levels of ballet, tap, jazz, BeMoved, hip-hop, and Pilates.

A drop-in class is only $12 with your college ID.

“Open classes challenge my brain and my body. They are really fun and interesting,” said Katrina Stewart.

Do you want to learn a few cool dance moves to use in the clubs? If so, try the hip-hop class on Wednesday night from 7:30 p.m. —8:30 p.m. This is a very popular class, and highly recommended by many. Not only does the class teach you new moves, but it also incorporates a freestyle aspect where you can put your own moves to music.

Michael Jones said, “I love taking the hip hop class! I always

learn a lot of cool new moves, and it helps me relax and have fun after a long day.”

For those of you who were inspired by 2011’s hit movie Black Swan, try your hand at the art of ballet—something that the Joffrey is certainly the expert on.

Beginning ballet classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday. You’ll improve your grace, balance, and learn the beautiful art of ballet. More experienced ballerinas will be happy to note that there are also advanced ballet classes offered on Fridays 7 p.m. —8:30 p.m. and Sunday 11:30 p.m. —1 p.m.

A style that you may be less familiar with, BeMoved classes focus on therapeutic dance combinations, mixing various styles of dance that were designed to lift your spirits.

It’s a low-impact cardio workout that is appropriate for all ages and skill levels. BeMoved meets Tuesdays 7:30 p.m—8:30 p.m.

Tap classes focus on making rhythms and sounds with tap shoes by putting different steps together. This class moves quickly, but it is also accessible to beginners who want to learn.

The jazz classes focus on a Broadway style of moving to energetic music. This class meets

on Wednesdays from 7:30 p.m. —8:30 p.m. Initially designed for an intermediate dancer, the class can be difficult to pick up, however a very motivated beginner could also do well in this class.

A Pilates class incorporates various exercises that are aimed at improving core strength, while also lengthening and strengthening your muscles, and at the same time improving posture.

The class meets Mondays 6:30 p.m. —7:30 p.m.

“I love the way Pilates has shaped my body. It toned my muscles and gave me awesome definition in my abs,” said Patricia VanHorn.

Open classes are available to people of all skill levels, and the teachers create a very pleasant and welcoming environment.

Frequent open class student Erin Finn said, “The environment is welcoming and helpful because the staff is always willing to help anyone, and all of the teachers are very focused on each individual in the classroom.”

The Joffrey Ballet is directly off the Lake stop on the Red line EL. For more information, go to joffrey.org.

Arts & Life January 9, 2012 The DePaulia 21YEAR IN REVIEW:

It’s been another 365 days and now 2011 is (to some, thankfully) over. That means there has been 365 days of brand new music for us all to love, hate and forget.

There are so many bands that we have all uncovered and rediscovered. While there are plenty of songs to complain about (We’re looking at you, Rihanna and Ke$ha), We would rather remember the highlights and breakouts of 2011.

Here is an abbreviated list of my past year in terms of music.

ATLAS GENIUS "TROJANS"

This is the Aussie band’s first and only single, but they’ve already made an impression on the alt-rock world. The main riff is catchy as hell and they have a unique sound that distinguishes them from their contemporaries.

“Trojans” is beginning to break out of genre-specific satellite stations onto FM airwaves. We’re predicting (and hoping) that in 2012 they’ll rise within the mainstream and tour as a supporting act in the U.S., not unlike newly proclaimed alternative royalty Foster the People.

Only time will tell if Atlas Genius will be here to stay in the long-run or wind up as yet another crossover casualty. “Little Hell” -City and Colour Dallas Green could sing a phone book and we would probably enjoy listening to it, but hopefully

this proclamation will never have to be tested.

If you haven’t yet discovered City and Colour, begin with “Little Hell,” you’ll be instantly hooked.

The term is so overused, but for lack of a better one—Dallas Green has the voice of an angel. “Little Hell” marked a songwriting evolution for Dallas Green, whether it is lyrically (ditching heartbreak in favor of family and love) or musically (more electric guitar and full band sound, as opposed to sparse acoustic guitar and piano,)

The band is just now wrapping up a successful tour and they have certainly shown just how talented and multidimensional they are, a definite winner of this year.

ADELE "21"

It sounds pretty obvious, but if you wanted to listen to the radio without hearing Adele’s soulful contralto, you were sh*t outta luck.

Obliterating any fears of a sophomore slump, “21” is a heartbroken masterpiece dripping with blue-eyed soul. “Rolling in the Deep” is one of the most eloquent “f*** you” songs to date and “Someone Like You” will surely be the quintessential breakup song for years to come. Adele’s tour will supposedly continue following her recovery from vocal chord surgery and will surely make an impression on the coming year.

JOSEPH ARTHUR "GRADUATION CEREMONY"Utilizing overdubbing and

ethereal recording effects, Arthur is like an underrated Bon Iver, painting musical landscapes with incredible knowledge of depth and harmony.

The opening track “Out on a Limb” showcases Arthur’s penchant for descriptive lyrics that transport you to the heart of his inspiration. And no one can listen to “Midwest” without feeling pangs of nostalgia for the singer’s proud homeland. GOTYE

"SOMEBODY I USED TO KNOW"Australian-Belgian singer Gotye has been around for years, having

just released his third album. But he just recently found his traction with the release of “Somebody I Used To Know” to much critical acclaim. The song runs just over four minutes, but with the infectious chorus, listeners will pay no mind. “Somebody I Used to Know” has the potential to become a sleeper hit of 2012.

BON IVER"BON IVER, BON IVER"

It’s fair to say that everything that needs to be said about this album has already been said countless times. Justin Vernon is

a musical genius and will be the visionary of our generation. This album will surely be looked back upon as a definitive step in music.

“Bon Iver, Bon Iver” is one of the most beautiful albums ever and we simply don’t have complaints. We couldn’t be happier that the band is finally receiving the recognition they deserve and can’t wait to hear more.

LOCAL NATIVES"GORILLA MANOR"

This band was surely the obsession of the year for many of us. Their debut album “Gorilla Manor” is one of the most innovative we’ve heard in recent memory.

“Airplanes,” their most commercial and radio-friendly song is emotional without being too broody with a piano riff that refuses to go unnoticed. Lead singer Kelcey Ayer’s breathy voice effortlessly compliments the band’s truly indescribable sound.

Local Natives just wrapped up touring as a supporting act for The National in favor of recording songs for a new album to be released next year.

WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS"GOLD IN THE SHADOW"

While this isn’t our favorite album by William Fitzsimmons (The Sparrow and the Crow is masterful;) we think the concept behind the album is intriguing. Fitzsimmons, a mental health professional turned songwriter, based the album on the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders,) drawing from experiences with his recent

divorce and childhood with two blind parents.

Fitzsimmons never fails to interest us with both his musical works and personal life, and we’re always drawn into his world of sadness and confusion.

THE NAKED AND FAMOUS"PASSIVE ME, AGGRESSIVE YOU"

Is it too bold to dare to say that the Naked and Famous are the breakout band of 2011? We think that anyone who listens to radio at all has heard his popular tune, “Young Blood.” The five-piece electro-rock outfit that cites Nine Inch Nails as their chief

inspiration, has maintained chart presence with “Young Blood,” “Punching in a Dream,” and “Girls Like You.”

Don’t expect a break from these hardworking Kiwi’s—they’re preparing to drop a new album as early as spring of next year.

Alisa Xayalith has taken full advantage of her role as

front woman of the band. Her enthusiastic stage persona brings to mind a young Karen O. The band has fantastic chemistry, particularly between Alisa and guitarist Thom Powers.

Naked and Famous proved their prowess as rockers during their 2011 tour and we highly doubt that they’ll be abandoning the airwaves anytime soon.

“My purpose is always to understand what my purpose is,” Ameena Matthews, a panelist and honoree, said after a packed screening of the nationally acclaimed documentary film “The Interrupters” at the Chicago Cultural Center on Dec. 17.

The film captures the intimate perspective of several of CeaseFire’s Violence Interrupters including Matthews, who act on the belief that violent retaliation on the streets is similar to disease transmission in that it “spreads.” In order to curtail violence, it must be understood and can be resolved at its roots through conflict resolution tactics.

Ameena Matthews, a daughter of one of the city’s most infamous gang leaders, Jeff Fort, responded to the film on a panel with several other women that were honored at the Independent Television Service-ITVS and Women and Girls Lead event. Matthews said the film produced by Kartemquin Films was an opportunity “for us as a community to tell our story and really be heard.”

The film follows CeaseFire’s Violence Interrupters Ameena, Cobe and Eddy—each of whose lives at one point involved drugs and violence—as they attempt to disrupt conflict on the streets of Chicago and serve as mentors to many inner-city youth.

“Everything we went through, she was right there with me,” said the mother of Derrion Albert, referring in the film to Matthew’s support following her son’s violent death, captured on a camera phone in 2009.

The moderator of the event, WBEZ’s Alison Cuddy, referred to the panel of women as a “powerhouse panel.” She welcomed Matthews and other honorees Jacinda Bullie and Jaquanda Villegas, both of Kuumba Lynx, Mariame Kaba from Project NIA, Niambi Jaha-Echols of Camp Butterfly, and Shira Hassan from the Young Women’s Empowerment Project.

Speaking about her involvement in the film, Matthews admitted it was a “long courtship,” by renowned director Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz, author of the bestselling book “There are No Children Here.”

“I needed to make sure that my effectiveness would not be compromised,” said Matthews in reference to her work with conflict resolution and how the film could be used to portray the community members she works with. Matthews’ initial hesitancy stemmed from how she has seen the media, particularly the news, portraying her community.

“It was the opportunity for us as a community to tell our story in and out, and really be heard,” says Matthews. Matthews doesn’t want the film to end with a viewing; she wants it to be an opportunity for conversation and action to curtail violence.

Another panelist being

honored at the event, Miriam Kaba, says that her work in the community is different from Ameena’s style of being imbedded in violent situations.

“I refuse, because I’m too scared to do that,” she says. Though Kaba respects the tactic used by Ceasefire and the Violence Interrupters, her work with Project NIA enables her to work with young people who have been “caught up with the law,” assisting them in navigating

the criminal justice system. Kaba commented on “Mikey”,

a 17-year-old in the film who held up a barbershop, and is shown returning home after spending several years incarcerated. Kaba felt the film was effective in portraying the “humanity” of his family, breaking common stereotypes that often “don’t view these families as loving.”

She also identified with the story of Violence Interrupter Eddy describing it as an illustration of redemption and restoration. “How do we make sure people

who do bad things are not seen as bad people?” she asked.

Kaba also stated that although the film was not focused on structural violence, she identified job scarcity and unequal access to opportunities as being a violent influence within many communities.

“These young people are not living in a vacuum, there is a reason young Mikey robbed someone. He needed money,” she said.

Jacinda Bullie of Kuumba Lynx, which provides hip-hop and arts educational programming to Chicago youth, admitted to having mixed feelings about the film’s message, which focused on interrupting violence solely on an individual basis. But “it does give light to a lot of the work that goes on that is unseen,” she says.

Jaquanda Villegas sat beside Bullie on the panel of honorees and is also one of the co-founders of Kuumba Lynx. Villegas described the organizations’ work of nurturing youth beyond programming and says communities have the responsibility to “step in” and be a part of raising youth with supportive options for their development.

Shira Hassan of Young Women’s Empowerment Project was also honored at the event and described her work with young people involved in the

sex-trade business. She was also particularly moved by the film’s scene with “Mikey” and spoke of how people can work to “transform individual experiences so that we can transform structural experiences.”

Hassan also commented on the importance of supporting young people in having a stake in creating change within society. She encouraged the audience to consider that “violence is so layered, it is starting in our homes but it’s also impacting them (youth) at school…the police are a huge source of violence,” she said, referring to the presence of police brutality and its impact on “cycles of violence.”

The Chicago Police Department Crime Summary reported more than 400 homicides in 2011, a 3.4 percent decline from 2010.

Niambi Jaha-Echols, founder of Project Butterfly and author of “Project Butterfly: Supporting Young Women and Girls of African Decent through the Transitions of Life,” was in tears as she watched the film’s illustration of her native Englewood neighborhood. “It’s very different (now) than when I grew up,” she recalled. “I didn’t have to worry about getting shot.”

Jaha-Echols’ intentions to make change model the metaphor of Project Butterfly in that “butterflies don’t just

happen…caterpillars’ decide to do the work…where you start isn’t where you will end,” she declared.

“When we make people invisible is when a lot of bad things happen…our young people need to be seen and heard.”

The reactions to the film “The Interrupters” and descriptions of the work by the female panelists being honored concluded with questions by several young women in the audience.

When one asked if the panelist’s believed the film was going to make a big impact, the collective of women being honored agreed that the film represents one perspective of how to create change.

“You couldn’t find a better person at the forefront,” spoke up Bullie commending Ameena Matthews’ involvement in the film.

“Let’s look at the role I can play, the role you can play in bringing some healing,” said Matthews to the audience and fellow panelists. She described many organizations as “struggling” and “competing against each other” for funding. In addition to the individual work many people are doing, Matthews told the audience to remember, “We’re a voting bloc.” She encouraged political activism. It needs to be clear, she says, “We’re not playing games in the political arena.”

“The Interrupters,” which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, has yet to be officially released to the public. The film is scheduled to broadcast on Frontline through WTTW Channel 11 on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 9 p.m.

SAFARI IN THE CITYAfrican-style co!ee in the heart of the Southport Corridor

At Lakeview’s Safari Cup Coffee, customers are thrilled that they can get a cup of hand-roasted coffee and help African coffee farmers at the same time.

The coffee shop, owned by Dave and Sharon McLaughlin—residents of Zimbabwe who now live in Chicago—serves coffee and teas grown in Africa, and Dave roasts the coffee beans for the week in the restaurant on most Saturday mornings.

The restaurant also serves authentic African food such as oxtail soup and tabouleh salad.

Traditional African décor lines the walls, and customers appreciate the African tapestries and relaxed feel of the restaurant, which also features couches with zebra print pillows for its customers.

African artwork is not something that is common, and customers feel like they are stepping onto an African safari when they enter the restaurant.

Safari Cup’s purpose goes beyond exposing its customers to African culture, though. McLaughlin’s idea was to actually give back to the continent that he so adores.

“Our coffee is branded with its own name, logo, and legend, or story,” McLaughlin said. “I know people want to give back to Africa; I want to give money to the people who really need it,”

Southport and Roscoe Village customers prefer the small, independent coffee shop over the commercialized Starbucks that is across the street from Safari Cup.

“The fact that Safari Cup comes with a social cause is enough for me to pick [the restaurant] over Starbucks,” said Nick Monroe, a resident of the Wrigleyville neighborhood.

“I was nervous for Safari Cup because of how popular Starbucks is; I wanted it to do well, and people are very set in their ways, but, from what I can see, the company is thriving now, and I do think a lot of that has to do what the fact that a direct portion of coffee sales goes to African farmers. People have a conscience, and they want to give back,” he said.

Safari Cup opened in October of 2009 in Chicago after operating in Birmingham, Ala. for more than a decade. Dave and Sharon decided a move to Chicago would be better for their coffee shop because of its size and diversity. Dave is in charge of roasting the coffee, and his wife, Sharon, runs the kitchen.

The idea of an independent restaurant giving back to African communities is catching on with some customers who like to know that a portion of what they spend will be going somewhere other

than the owner’s pockets. McLaughlin wants to expand

his business, and he buys his coffee from a direct trade company in St. Paul, Minn. Safari Cup ensures that a portion of coffee sales will go directly to growers.

“The goal is to actually go to Africa myself and visit [coffee] growers that I know,” McLaughlin said. “I want to buy directly from them for Safari Cup Coffee,”

Southport residents say the business is good for the neighborhood, which boasts several other independent retailers in the area.

“It’s nice to have options other than Starbucks,” said Cassie Bartem, a resident of Roscoe Village. “I think it’s great that they are giving back to Africa,

but it’s honestly so nice to have a place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee,”

Safari Cup customers like that Dave roasts the coffee himself, and everything Sharon cooks is organic and homemade.

Pastries that Sharon bakes early in the morning—sometimes waking before 4a.m. to get started—can be smelled down

the block from the restaurant. “In this economy, people

want something that they can afford, but also something that they can enjoy,” Monroe said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people talk about how nice the service is or how good the food is—not to mention the coffee,”

McLaughlin said the rough

economy has had an effect on his business. When Safari Cup first opened in Chicago, business was not exactly booming, and McLaughlin took the matter into his own hands to advertise.

“Dave did such a good job advertising for this business two years ago,” said Michael Riley, a longtime Chicago resident. “He put fliers on cars, had his baristas outside handing out coupons, the whole nine yards. It was fantastic and a great way to get people to notice a new business, especially with so many commuters coming off of the Brown Line,”

McLaughlin attributes his

advertising in helping him get through a souring economy where people were reluctant to spend money, especially on coffee.

“We opened in 2009, and it was bad,” McLaughlin said with a laugh. “People were stuck to Starbucks—the green cancer, I think. It was hard, but we got through it, and I truly believe that we have more to offer since we are such a small business, and we are giving back to African communities,”

Safari Cup is located at 3404 N Southport Ave. you can find it directly underneath the Southport Brown Line.
