In April, UNC Charlotte will experience a series of events never before seen in North Carolina. In fact, the Violins of Hope event, hosted from April 9 through April 24, 2012, is an unprecedented experience in all of North America.

The 18 violins date back to the time period of the Ho-locaust, and have been col-lected and restored by Israeli violinmaker Amnon Weinstein. Weinstein, who had been col-lecting these violins for 15 to 16 years, received the pieces through donation or stumble upon by chance in fl ea markets. Some of the violins were used by orchestras in the Nazi con-centration camps from World War II.

“He does not have docu-mented stories for every violin.

Some of the violins we don’t know for a fact that they were played during the Holocaust or in camps or anything,” said Meg Whalen, director of communi-cation and external affairs for the College of Arts and Archi-tecture. “I think of the 18 that are coming, there are probably half a dozen that are document-ed with stories and with people who have followed them.”

While Weinstein has no way of knowing whether all of the violins were involved in the events of the Jewish genocide, he is sure that they all belonged to Jewish musicians of the same time period. Through looking at the design and the age of the pieces he determined the ap-proximate time that the violins were created.

“Most of them have the Star of David on them, which was typical of violins which were created for klezmer, which were

the Jewish folk musicians,” said Whalen. “Most of the violins that [Weinstein] has found or have been given have that Star of David, so he knows that they belonged to Jewish musicians.”

For the violins that Wein-stein fi nds in a fl ea market, combined with the fact that no one has stepped forward and claimed the violins as a fam-ily memento, suggests that the previous owner of the instru-ment did not survive the Holo-caust, according to Whalen.

Weinstein continues his search to fi nd more violins from this historical period. “He’s constantly making new discov-eries,” said Whalen. “He appar-ently just found a new violin in the last few weeks, and he opened it and it had a swastika inside the violin.”

The violins, many of which had fallen into disrepair af-ter they had been lost by their

owners, were restored were re-stored by Weinstein. They were used in performances in Jeru-salem, Switzerland and several other locations.

The performance in Jersu-salem did not include a large portion of the set, but the per-formance in Switzerland in-cluded 15 of the violins. “That’s the only other time there has been a signifi cant exhibition, and program with them, is that one time in Switzerland,” said Whalen.

The upcoming events in Charlotte mark the fi rst time the instruments have been per-formed in this area. “This would be the fi rst time to have a group of them exhibited and used in performance in this whole hemisphere,” said Whalen. “It really is because of this person-al relationship between David Russell and Amnon Weinsten.”

The International Student/Scholar Of-fi ce (ISSO) sponsors International Coffee Hour for international students to get to know one another, as well as practice their English with American students. The event began March 2004.

International Coffee Hour provides a relaxed environment for attendees to share ideas and refreshments and play board games together. Meetings are free and open to all UNC Charlotte students, faculty and staff.

“U.S. students should have more of a presence here,” said Adriel Ray, U.S. stu-dent and long-time International Coffee Hour attendee.

“I was interested in the international scene. I wanted to meet new people from other countries and talk about world views, politics and religion,” said Ray. He believes knowledge about the world is critical and urges all students to take advantage of this opportunity to make new friends and learn about new cultures.

At the last meeting, Jan. 29, 2012, 75 of the 82 attendees were International stu-dents. Only seven U.S. students attended.

UNC Charlotte students Sean Wilson from the U.S., Adriana Pisani from Venezu-ela and Jocsa Cortes from Colombia were new to International Coffee Hour. All three heard about International Coffee

New apartment complexes are crop-ping up around the UNC Charlotte area. The ground has already been leveled on the corner of Mallard Creek Church Rd. and Highway 49. Private contractors are build-ing there in order to take advantage of the university’s well-known growth. However, in no way, shape or form are the contrac-tors affi liated with UNC Charlotte.

It is well-known that the university is expanding and well on its way to accom-modating over 30,000 students.

“With such growth we’re experiencing, there aren’t enough rooms on campus to house all the students,” said Sean Langley, Assistant Director of Off-Campus Student Outreach.

Indeed, in its current state, the school has about 5,000 beds, which may make

THIS WEEK IN SGA Hour from friends who had previously attended and were not familiar with the ISSO or other international programs.

Xianlin Hu, another newcomer to the meeting, came to practice English. Hu, a Ph.D. student studying computer science originally from China, has lived in the U.S. for four and a half years. She likes the di-versity on campus and came to Interna-tional Coffee Hour to meet American stu-dents and learn about their culture.

According to Carrie Berkman, the ISSO Program Assistant in charge of Interna-tional Coffee Hour, many attendees are stu-dents in UNC Charlotte’s English Language Training Institute (ELTI). This program is specifi cally designed for international stu-dents to develop English speaking, reading, writing and listening skills. Berkman, an ELTI Instructor, said that many ELTI stu-dents come to International Coffee Hour to talk to American students and hear how they speak and express ideas in an informal setting.

During the Jan. 29 meeting, 37 of the 75 international attendees were ELTI stu-dents.

Unlike Berkman, attendee Tom Knight feels the current proportion of Internation-al students to American students attending International Coffee Hour is “overall pretty balanced.” He argues “International Coffee Hour is a coffee hour for international stu-dents.”

Knight is in charge of a nonprofi t orga-nization called Charlotte International Fel-lowship, which aims to help international

Freethinkers organization approved

The Student Government Association (SGA) approved the Freethinkers organiza-tion this past Thursday at the Senate meet-ing.

The newly approved organization will work to “promote interest in scientifi c and historical study and provide an environ-ment for students to discuss their ideas and express their worldviews,” according to their constitution. They will discuss a range of topics such as anthropology, poli-tics, psychology and more.

The Student Government Association (SGA) feels this improvement is important because of the location of the elevator and the high traffi c experienced in the area. They are requesting proper ventilation and digital fl oor indicators, as well as fi xing the elevator so it does not stop on random fl oors. Ciera Choate

New printer may come to Student Union

The Student Union currently has com-puters available for student use but no printers. To help relieve the printing de-mand at Atkins Library the Student Gov-ernment Association (SGA) is working to get a printer put into the Student Union.

Dominque Hughes, a senator at large, is sponsoring the resolution called “The Marking Printing Easy Act,” which had it’s fi rst reading during the last Senate meet-ing. SGA is still working out the details of paying to print and how many printers they are asking for.

When and if the printers are approved they will be located on the Mezzanine fl oor of the Student Union.

the new apartment complexes all the more necessary. The only problem is the distance students stay away from cam-pus and their academic success is directly related. According to the UNC Charlotte Housing website, UNC Charlotte students’ cumulative GPAs over the years show that students who live on campus have higher average GPAs than those students living off campus.

With over 25,000 students and about 5,000 student housing capacity, the issue is a common thorn in public universities’ sides statewide. Administrators are wary of advocating off-campus housing when they know the statistics of success in relation to proximity to the campus. For example, on UNC’s housing website: “please be advised that Housing and Residential Education does not endorse one rental company over another, nor do we inspect properties that are listed on this website.”

Universities keep their students’ suc-cess close to mind when making such deci-sions, but some have no choice in the mat-ter. Funding and space limitations present huge obstacles to these institutions’ options for housing students.

UNC Charlotte is working to combat this issue by converting more of its 1,000 acres of land into livable space for 49ers. The latest of these projects are Residence

Hall Phase X and Phase XI. Each is in the design phase and will bring more than 400 beds each to campus. But even with these new residence halls, more than 72 percent of 49ers will have to choose an off-campus housing option. UNC Charlotte’s Offi ce of Off-Campus Student Outreach works as students’ gateway to these options.

The Offi ce of Off-Campus Student Out-reach coordinates with Off-Campus Part-ners to provide residence options such as the EDGE, 901 Place, University Club, University Walk and The Flats. UNC Char-lotte was the fi rst university to utilize Off-Campus Partners in order to provide a sim-ple website interface for college students across the nation to search for off-campus housing, leases and roommates.

“The off-campus housing website that we have will assist [students] in fi nding housing. For example, our transfer popula-tion will be able to see that there are apart-ments in the area. They can just easily go to this website and it will list all the apart-ments that are available,” said Langley.

Students are not the only ones who ben-efi t from UNC Charlotte’s partnership with Off-Campus Partners. Staff and faculty who are recruited to the university can use the tool to fi nd temporary or permanent resi-dence in close proximity to UNC Charlotte.

students learn about both U.S. and inter-national cultures. He has attended Interna-tional Coffee meetings since they started in 2004.

Berkman has a different opinion. “Stu-dents may hear International Coffee Hour and think it’s only for international stu-dents, but everyone is welcome. We’re al-ways looking to attract new people—new Americans, new undergraduate students and new graduate students. Within ELTI, [International Coffee Hour] sort of pub-licizes itself, so I think we will be starting to publicize more and more outside of the ELTI community,” said Berkman.

Ray suggested the ISSO advertise In-ternational Coffee Hour with fl yers around campus where more students will see them, like in the Student Union. Currently, the only fl yers advertising International Coffee Hour are located in the ISSO, where mainly international students see them.

Berkman looks forward to expanding International Coffee Hour and continuing to see new faces at meetings.

“I have been so pleased to see how much fun people have just sitting and talking and playing games. [There is] a really good en-ergy in the room and a really good group of people who are always open to having a new person pull up a chair at the table.”

International Coffee Hour is held every fi rst and third Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. in the faculty/staff dining room of Prospec-tor. For more information, visit http://isso.uncc.edu/.

The United States Army selected 100 men and wom-en from the U.S. Army Lead-ership Council nationwide to attend the U.S. Army Advisory Board Leadership Program. Among the cho-sen 100 was UNC Charlotte Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Arthur Jackson.

The program was held in early January in San Anto-nio, Tex. at Fort Sam Hous-ton. Those selected were being trained to be spokes-people for the army.

“I was very honored to be chosen as one of the advocates for the army,” said Jackson.The program consisted of several infor-mational and educational session about the new edu-cational programs through-out the day. Top ranking sergeants met with the par-ticipants of the program to tell them their plans for the year to come.

The program featured different events geared to-ward entertaining and en-gaging the participants. Jackson had an opportu-nity to jump with the Army Golden Knights, the army’s elite parachuting team.

“They do demonstra-tions, but their real task is to go behind enemy lines and parachute in and do what-ever objective they have and get out. But, those guys can land on a book, they’re so good, from 40,000 feet. They’re fantastic,” said Jackson. “Most of them are rangers, so they’re combat ready. They’re tough guys.”

This was Jackson’s fi rst time skydiving, and says he just decided to mark that off his bucket list.

Another highlight of the program was the all Ameri-

can football game. The best of high school football play-ers was gathered to San An-tonio to play. Four of these players hailed from UNC Charlotte, one of which was D.J. Humphries of Mallard Creek High School. D.J. is considered the top offen-sive lineman of the nation.

Jackson’s favorite part of the program was not anything for entertainment value, but rather an activity for respect and refl ection.

Fort Sam Houston is home to the Brooke Army Medical Center, one of four areas in the the Unit-ed States designated with a dedicated program to war amputees, paraplegics and quadriplegics. The Wounded Warrior Project is the name of the program geared toward rehabilitat-ing U.S. warriors into civil-ians.

Men and women who have lost their arms, legs and sometimes both are fi tted for prosthetic limbs. Once they are equipped with these, they learn to walk and proceed on with their lives as normal citi-zens. For the time they are

in the rehabilitation pro-gram, their families are re-located to a place close to or on base.

Jackson spent a whole morning with these sol-diers, talking to them and listening to their stories.

“It’s sad to see young men missing parts of their bodies, giving part of their body for service,” he said.

According to Jackson, there were more leg am-putees than anything other case. This is caused by the improvised explosive de-vices [IEDs] in the warzone. Armor covers the soldiers from the waist up, which protects their torso from such blasts emanating from the ground.

“Most people never see [amputees]. We see one or two in a wheelchair or crutches, but to see hun-dreds. You’re just fi lled with a sense of refl ection on how lucky you have it, having both arms and legs,” said Jackson.

Jackson serves as an ambassador between the U.S. Army and UNC Char-lotte. He plans to extend programs outreaching to

professor of violin at UNC Charlotte, met Weinstein about a decade ago and made a connection. The pair became friends, and Russell went to Israel to teach a course at a university after Weinstein asked him to.

While in Israel, Russell visited Wein-stein’s violin store and saw his collection of Holocaust-era violins. After encourage-ment from Russell, Weinstein decided to bring the collection to the U.S. to showcase it.

After word spread to other areas of the U.S. that this exhibition was coming to Charlotte, representatives from these other areas have attempted to get the violins to come to them, too.

“All kinds of other cities have called us

and said ‘we want to have the violins come to our city.’ Toronto, Atlanta, I believe folks out in California, and New York and south-ern Florida. They may end up showing up in other places,” said Whalen.

These violins are an important part of history, Whalen says. They represent more than just music, or the Holocaust, but also the way music serves as both an uplifting and terrible force.

“This one period in history so clearly de-fi nes that dual role that art and music can play. That it can be dangerous, and then it can also be redemptive,” said Whalen. “That is such a lesson, I think, for people.”

It should be hard to dispute a health policy that has solid science and overwhelming public opinion behind it, as well as being embraced by millions of American couples in their family-planning efforts.

That doesn’t mean Catholic bishops and antiabortion advocates won’t try. These and other conservative critics claim that the Obama administration overstepped by requiring most workplaces to offer free birth-control medical insurance coverage to their employees.

But make no mistake: The Jan. 20 announcement by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that, starting this summer, employers must pay for coverage of “all FDA-approved forms of contraception” was the right thing to do.

This important preventive-care provision of health-care reform means that the near universal use of birth control by women _ including Catholics _ for the fi rst time will be assured by law.

The policy will have far-reaching health, economic and social benefi ts _ perhaps even helping to reduce the number of abortions.

When the federal Institute of Medicine last summer recommended that HHS assure access to affordable birth control, it noted that half of all pregnancies are unplanned and that more than a third of these end in abortion.

Since unplanned pregnancies sometimes result in delayed prenatal care, or risky behaviors such as smoking and drinking, the agency said there’s an added risk of premature and low-weight births, and these infants are less likely to get the benefi ts of being breast-fed.

For a woman whose pregnancy results in becoming a single parent, the economic challenges of rearing a child are well-documented, along with heated debate over whether their kids fare less well.

So, wider access to birth control drugs without additional insurance co-pays could mean the nation does a better job of reducing unplanned pregnancies, and the

drugs also aid in treating other women’s reproductive conditions and other health concerns.

Despite the vocal critics, the policy promises to be overwhelmingly popular, with polls showing that three-quarters of American women, including Catholics, support birth-control coverage.

That said, the ruling will require some workplaces notably church-run hospitals, charities, and schools to provide birth-control coverage that they may not provide now on ideological grounds. But the Obama administration rightly concluded that employees at these institutions who do not share that view shouldn’t be denied this health service.

The ruling preserves carefully the right of churches and church associations to use an exemption from the mandate. But the hope is that few will do so, since the benefi ts of careful family planning to their female employees are undisputed.

And with or without paid coverage, the use of contraception will continue to be mainstream.

OPINION

Joshua WoodOPINION@NINERONL INE.COM

Many students are excited with the arrival of the football team in 2013, but will be sourly disappointed with the lack of a marching band.

UNC Charlotte will not be including and marching band in its football program due to budget cuts.

Now this doesn’t mean we won’t eventually obtain a marching band, hopefully within a few years we will see one parading on our fi eld.

In hopes to tip the scales in the debate of weather or not we need a marching band, I have compiled reason as to why a marching band would be necessary.

There is nothing like a round of snare drums at the beginning of a football game to pump up a crowd. A crowd that is energized for a game is a happy crowd; no one wants to start the game all bored.

When halftime rolls around, a marching band is perfect

for entertainment, nothing keeps you in your seats like a fi ne performance. Sure it’s no Super Bowl performance, but it’d be better than watching an empty fi eld.

Having a marching band will not only increase moral and general excitement, it will also provide an opportunity for many band students to gain experience and possibly a marching band scholarship.

In 2010 Georgia State University had its fi rst football season, along with a marching band with 140 plus members, granted Georgia State didn’t have to build a brand new stadium.

A marching band and football team go hand in hand, so I’m not too concerned if we don’t get one right away.

A marching band is imperative to have for every football game, whether it’s a small meager ensemble or a large band I’m sure UNC Charlotte is bound to obtain a marching band.

I hope the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees takes into account how important having a marching band is, and approve of one by the time of our fi rst kickoff.

NEW IN THEATERS: The VowSafe HouseJourney 2: The Mysterious IslandPerfect HouseStar Wars: The Phantom Menace

Barry Falls JrPatrick Bogans

The AvengersWith ‘The Avengers’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’

and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, comic book fans have a lot to look forward to this summer.

But so few often do we have the opportunity to see four different movies (2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk,’ 2010’s’Iron Man 2’, and 2011’s C’aptain America’ and ‘Thor’) all crescendo into what I’m calling a “mega se-quel.”

Needless to say, the expectations are high. And striking a balance between an engaging, character-driven plot and a story line that still satisfies those who are just looking for some summer blockbuster ac-tion isn’t easy to do without disappointing.

Judging from the Super Bowl trailer, Marvel cer-tainly attempts to find the balance but leans far more towards the action.

This may be because almost all fans of fast-paced action and displays of masculine aggression were col-lectively doing the same thing last Sunday afternoon- watching the Super Bowl.

The preview wasn’t completely disappointing. The trailer climaxed with probably one of the greatest su-per hero one-liners in the history of super hero one-liners.

“I have an army,” says Loki, the film’s primary su-per villain.

“We have a Hulk,” replied Tony Stark as the screen flashes to the Hulk leaping into the air and punching one of Loki’s space crafts out of the sky.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D Most recently with “Beauty and the Beast,” Hol-

lywood has begun re-releasing classic films in 3D. But the upcoming re-release of “Star Wars: Episode I– The Phantom Menace” certainly raises a few ques-tions.

Firstly, did the week-long re-release of a relatively popular film from eleven years ago really warrant a time slot in the biggest television event of the year?

And more importantly, why “The Phantom Men-ace?” The Stars Wars series is widely recognized as the greatest American hero quest stories of all time.

Yet 20th Century Fox chose to re-release the most artificial and uninvolving film in the series.

John Carter‘Friday Night Lights’ star Taylor Kitsch will have a

very successful blockbuster season this year. Already co-starring along with Liam Niesson in the mindless, visual action film ‘Battleship’, Kitsch’s ‘John Carter’ seems to be the more plot-filled of the two, even if the plot seems ridiculously weird.

On a remote planet, John Carter of Earth finds himself interacting with these frighteningly tall green colonized aliens. Whether or not he is really for or against him is presumably the question.

The eye-popping effects needed to make this film relevant seem to deliver, as the trailer ends with Carter in a fight with a 2009 ‘Star Trek’ reminiscent terrifying white creature. Disney terrifying, but scary nonetheless.

Hopefully, this new PG-13 Disney installment will give the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise a well-deserved run for its money.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation The slick and sly crew is back this year with the

new G.I. Joe movie, ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’. The trail-er, set to Jay-Z, with ninjas and Bruce Willis blowing things up and slicing and dicing, definitely appeals to the masses of action-adventure film enthusiasts who flocked to the last film.

Oddly missing from the short thirty seconds is Channing Tatum. The trailer seemed to push the fact that this film is revamped with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson, to try to attract movie-goers who may dismiss the film due to the previous installment’s rotten reviews.

The scale seems enormous and the action seems very appealing, but the lack of any sort of plot detail was also a big disappointment. Sure, there’s a bunch of explosions, but why?

Thirty seconds is a short time to try to attract the viewer, however, and definitely isn’t on the minds of anyone during the Super Bowl. So look forward to G.I. Joe making a mindless blast this summer.

The Hunger Games As the curtains fall on the final Harry Potter film,

book worms are looking for a new go-to movie to see how Hollywood can bring their favorite literary char-acters to life.

In this new trailer, there are more detailed scenes

depicting the selection process that puts heroine Kat-niss into the ‘Games.’ Readers get a better look at Capitol members Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci).

These scenes of characters dolled up in their futur-istic Capitol duds, along with wide shots of the Capitol not included in earlier trailers, give the movie more of a sci-fi feel.

If “The Hunger Games” is anything like its literary counterpart (and we suspect it will be), the first part of the Hunger Games trilogy is sure to be smart, in-spired and satisfying.

All in all, this seems to be everything that fans of the series ‘hunger’ for out of a blockbuster adaptation.

And the fact that every scene was filmed in North Carolina including the Capitol scenes which were filmed in Charlotte is just icing on the cake.

The new trailer still doesn’t show much of the actu-al “Games” themselves, building fans up for the grand ending that makes the story what it is.

BattleshipWhen you were a kid with your friends playing

Hasbro’s classic Battleship game, did you ever think to yourself, what if they made this into a movie where a group of Americans had to play a giant turn-based version of Battleship against an alien race who was trying to build a power source in the ocean?

Me neither.“From Hasbro the company that brought you

Transformers,” the trailer displays within the first 15 seconds, and already I’m rolling my eyes.

Michael Bay’s Transformers trilogy has made a for-tune and ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ isn’t the only one try-ing to cash in on the formula of taking fond childhood memories and destroying them with crude humor and a ‘sea’ of hallow CGI explosions.

Supposedly, ‘Battleship’ shows the story from both the human and alien’s perspectives, so the audience knows where both teams’ ships are located. This might add an interesting component to the film. But other than that, the trailer give a brief glimpse of a movie lacking in substance.

Sure, my expectations of the common movie-go-er may be too idealized, but I feel like most can see straight through Battleship’s gimmicks - even those who helped ‘Transformers 3’ gross over one billion dollars last summer.

We take a closer look at the previews of this summer’s big blockbusters

For a college student, there is often a bunch of downtime throughout the daily bump and grind where boredom strikes immediately.

Waiting for that next class to start, waiting for friends to meet up with in the Union or just waiting for the boring 8 a.m. lecture to end are just some of the instances where a solution is needed to kill time on campus.

Usually, the primary way is to awkwardly shuffle through apps and things, send a text, or check Face-book and Twitter.

But, when the five minute wait seems to take way too long, many can resort to their phone’s game ap-plications to kill time. This is usually the most sure fire way to distract yourself completely from every-thing, and forget about how slow time must be going.

Here are some of the best time-killing games to make time fly by:

Reckless Getaway- $.99 (iOS)/$1.99 (Android) This chaotic, automotive survival game can defi-

nitely get your frustration of waiting out in a virtual violent arena.

With the primary purpose of smashing and thrash-ing through traffic after escaping a bank robbery, this app is the perfect way to just mindlessly run cops over and knock slow cars out of the way, without actually doing it in real life.

Bejeweled- $.99/ Bejeweled Blitz- free (iOS) These two apps, which go hand and hand with each

other, bring the classic switch-and-match game to the palm of your hand in your most desperate time of need.

With the Bejeweled app, there are four different modes to choose from, Classic, Diamond Mine, Zen and a link to the other mode which is an app in itself, Blitz.

Playing in classic mode is in itself, a classic way to play. But the Diamond Mine (where matched gems cause the area below to crumble), Zen (a never end-ing mode with the intention of calming the user), and Blitz (trying to score the most points in one minute of play) modes have definitely revamped the idea of the well-known game and can easily pass time in class.

Line Birds - $0.99 (iOS)/Free (Android)Requiring a little more concentration and skill,

Line Birds is an app with a simple premise, but an ad-dicting and frustrating one at that.

The object of the app is to navigate a bird through a series of lines. Seems easy, but gets more complex and faster as the game progresses.

However, progression and patience yields new birds, each with their own special abilities, to may-be try and curb the challenge and get an even higher score.

iRunner – Free (Android)A basic, but very fun game, iRunner takes the run-

ning game genre to a new level. Taking on a character known as Mr. I, the object is to avoid obstacles while collecting as many batteries as you can.

Simple, but distracting and addicting, iRunner could suffice as a Temple Run placebo for some An-droid users.

Paper Toss 2 – Free (iOS)The ironic part about this game is just how relat-

able the main character is. He’s a bored guy sitting at work, just like you.

The point of the game is to toss a ball of paper into a trash bin in the character’s office. To the right, a cof-fee mug taunts you with the fact that it is near impos-sible to make. To the left sits a funner alternative: a coworker resembling Dwight from the office gives you the evil eye whenever he gets hit.

The point is to make as many consecutive shots into the bin as possible. Throwing alternative objects

keeps the game interesting; think grenades, staplers and bananas.

Jetpack Joyride –Free (iOS) / Free (Android)The first thing I noticed about this game when I

began playing was that it reminded me of the under-water Mario levels I loved on GameBoy as a child.

The gameplay revolves around a man with a (sur-prise!) jetpack as he runs through corridors filled with dangerous obstacles trying to complete random mis-sions.

You must float around electric charges and dodge rockets that come flying from some nameless source.

The real fun of the game comes from the power ups, which include a jumping metal suit, a mechanical bird to be steered and others.

There is also an endless amount of opportunities to customize your player. If you feel you can fight the good fight more effectively with a zombie body and a tophat, that’s how you shall fight.

Crystal Defenders- $7.99 (iOS)

By the makers of the Final Fantasy series, Crystal Defenders is turn-based strategy at its best.

Contrary to some of the other games on this list, Crystal Defenders will likely have you playing for hours at a time.

What makes Crystal Defenders stand out from oth-er turn-based strategy games is its replay-ability.

With six levels each with advance couter parts, there are almost infinite ways to play the game. And achieving certain objectives with the game’s diverse character variety are very rewarding.

The success of the cell phone game led to the re-lease of Crystal Defenders on Xbox Live Arcade, Wi-iWare and Playstation Store.

Niner picks for the best time-killing apps

Based on a True Story (B.o.a.T.S), a small unsigned band from Kannapolis, N.C., will be playing in Norm’s lounge on Friday, Feb. 10, 2012 at 7 p.m.

Consisting of vocalist Niles Collins, guitarist Andrew Cala-mari, bassist Michael Phillips and drummer Zack Carpenter, B.o.a.T.S. takes pride in their original sound and performs it with ease.

“People ask what genre we fit into, who we sound like. We sound like B.o.a.T.S. We’ve got our own sound,” they stated in a recent Facebook status.

In the beginning, longtime buddies Collins and Calamari somewhat unintentionally began the band by just riffing and jamming at a local place in Kannapolis named Pop’s. When a mutual friend introduced them to a potential new band mem-ber in Phillips, everything sort of began to fall into place.

The jam sessions started to have more of a purpose once the band began to piece together melody and coordinate lyr-ics with actual songs.

“Andrew would always play the same riff on the guitar and hearing it a couple times I just began to add lyrics to it. I had him play it nearly a hundred times to piece together the lyr-ics. ‘Point of View’ was finished that night,” said Collins.

With the realization of this band thing becoming a serious

hobby, the name of the band was in question. Calamari, who had the current name of Based on a True Story, or the name a Day in The Life, as the top two names, had to ask Collins what he thought.

Seeing that the abbreviation of Based on a True Story was “B.o.a.T.S”, Collins took a liking to the name.

Soon after, their first booked gig at the Festival of the Arts in Kannapolis was underway, and what a success it was.

Their high school welcomed them back with praise and even prompted longtime friend, Luke Seagroves to offer and manage the band.

Seagroves set up miscellaneous small gigs throughout the area to gain the band more exposure, and Based on a True Story was truly on its way.

“Luke handles it all for us. All we need to do is just play,” says Calamari.

After a successful summer, and officially adding more Phillips and Carpenter as permanent members, looming plans of an EP begin to come up and the rest of the future of the band, as well.

Based on a True Story are the recent winners of the 2011 Gorilla Productions Battle of the Bands, and will be perform-ing for free for their Norm’s gig.

“Our music grabs you by the collar and slaps you to make you listen,” says Calamari.

Where a Niner’s spare moments go

Green isn’t just a school color

DID YOU KNOW? SGA PASSED A LEGISLATION IN 2008 THAT ALLOCATES ONE DOLLAR OF EVERY STUDENT’S TUITION TO MAKE UNC CHARLOTTE GREENER

Michelle [email protected]

I will be the fi rst to admit that I am not the most envi-ronmentally aware person and up until recently did not even know that much about recycling. Fortunately, my roommate is extremely into being green and works very hard to make an improvement in the world. Her passion quickly rubbed off on me and I have been trying to learn as much as I can about how to make a difference.

And so I attended an interest meeting for Charlotte Green Initiative, or CGI. Their purpose is to use a Green Fee to help move UNC Charlotte towards a more envi-ronmentally friendly and sustainable campus. The $1 Green Fee that they obtain comes out every student’s tuition. In return CGI uses this money to fund projects and purchase resources to be used.

The purpose of the meeting was to brainstorm ways to get UNC Charlotte students to reduce the use of plas-tic water bottles that are constantly thrown away. To raise awareness they have started a petition for students to sign, vowing that they use reusable bottles as opposed to plastic ones.

They are also targeting freshman - the future of the school. With the Green Fee the group is purchasing re-usable bottles for the freshman that they are going to pass out during SOAR. However, students cannot get

one with signing the petition. There is also an effort to support this notion already

taking place on campus. Faucets that provide fi ltered water for people to refi ll their bottles are located on drinking fountains in the Student Union. CGI is trying to get at least one in every building starting with the resi-dence halls.

When the members of CGI were discussing what bot-tles to purchase they not only had their budget in mind, but also the health and safety of our students. They paid a lot of attention to what they believe would be the most practical as well as what they think students would want to use.

Furthermore, they are trying to get perks for people who use reusable bottles, such as discounted drinks on campus. They hope that these bottles will help to get their message out there to the young students.

It was easy to tell that this group feels strongly about what they are involved in and are deter-mined to make a difference. It makes me proud to be a Niner when I see student involvement like this to make it a better campus for everyone.

Being green is not just a trend and it is a huge fac-tor if we want to keep the world beautiful. To fi nd out more about CGI and how you can make a difference check out their website at www.cgi.uncc.edu

Important things to know about plastic water bottles:1) Plastic trash can cause problems.2) They have a low recycling rate.3) Plastic trash eventually adds up.4) Pollution can come from creating plastic water bottles.5) Plastic is expensive to produce.6) There is less incentive to recycle.7) Clean-up costs are high.8) The decomposition of plastic is slow.9) Plastic ends up piling up in the ocean and polluting beaches.

A yogi’s journey:week 5

Ciera ChoateNEWS@NINERONL INE.COM

After completing the 28 Days to Make a Change Challenge on Saturday I haven’t been to yoga class once. It’s been less than a week, and I feel like a part of my soul is missing.

I’ve talked to some people I took class with during the challenge, and we all agree that yoga has become one of the most im-portant things in our lives. I even pushed studying for a test back so I could get on my mat.

Later this week I will be back in class. At the end of the 28 days I felt stronger physically, but the biggest change has been inside. I feel more confi dent than I ever have before, and I’m not talking about my physical appearance. I feel sure of myself in everything I do.

As a young woman in college I think true confi dence is a rarity. We all subject ourselves to what others think a woman should be and look like when we are all so amazing individually without the infl uence of others.

There are women I have been in class with that come to tears when talking about how for once in their life they fi nally feel like they can 100 percent be themselves without the fear of the expectations of ev-eryone around them. For that reason alone yoga amazes me.

When walking into the studio there is a calm and peace that washes over you be-fore class even begins. The energy in the room consumes each person making them never want to leave. I have been working out since I can remember, but never have I had a workout resonate within my body the way yoga does.

My challenge is over, but I don’t plan on going to class any less. I feel like I’m addicted to some kind of drug, and I will never stop. I see ladies in their 60s coming to class – that’s going to be me one day.

My long-term goal with my practice is to share it with others by getting my cer-tifi cation to teach. It’s a time consuming journey, but I think that is what yoga is about. We are meant to spread our light and love for the practice with others. All someone has to do is see the effects of yoga and they will keep coming back for more. That’s what happened to me. I went to one class and was hooked for life.

Macado’s is a fairly new restaurant that opened on the edge of campus. It is conveniently located on University City Blvd. in the same shopping center as Harris Teeter, Bento’s and Cold Moun-tain Creamery.

When you fi rst walk in you’ll notice that the lights are really low, giving the restaurant a warm, at-home feeling. The hostess kindly greets you from behind the counter which happens to be fl ourished on oversized baked goods.

The interior decoration of the restaurant has a heavy rock n’ roll vibe. The walls are covered in vintage records, old guitars, framed Rolling Stone Magazine covers from the past and signed photos of rock legends. There are also huge vintage French alcohol ad-vertisements/propaganda that are very reminiscent of the 1920s & ‘30s. It also has three carousel horses perched in the middle of the restaurant, so it may be safe to say that Macado’s is a rock n’ roll fantasy sandwich shop.

The restaurant is split into two sections, a restaurant (dining) area and a bar section. The bar section is impressively decked out

with three plasma fl atscreen televisions situated at the top of the bartender’s area and also another XL fl atscreen (more XL than the others) on the opposite side that is used as a main focus for a major sports event. This section is big enough to support a large party and/or an immense group of avid sports fans.

“During a big game, such as the Superbowl, the bar area will be crazy. The restaurant section will usually stay moderate,” said one of the waitresss.

To parallel to the rock n’ roll vibe of the restaurant, they have hits from the ‘70s & ‘80s playing there, which is the cherry on top of the mood-setter.

Macado’s serves good ol’ American food specializing in all types of sandwiches (specifi cally oversized ones), but also has chicken wings, chicken fi ngers, quesadillas, peeanut butter and jelly sand-wiches (shockingly), burgers and salads. With over 30 selections of sandwiches (which are precisely described on the menu) it might take you a while to get through the menu. You also have the option to create your own sandwich.

Fortunately, Macado’s also caters to the herbivores. There are organic, vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Although ex-plicitly stated the chefs can compensate to create glutton-free spe-cialties.

On average you won’t be spending more than $10 on an entree which is great for a restaurant in a college town. This also applies to the dessert and achoholic beverage menu. Their alcoholic bever-age menu is long, detailed and diverse which provides something to satisfy everyone’s palate.

Macado’s does not have an online order service, but if you want to call in an order for pickup, you can access a printable menu on their website.

Although they don’t provide a student discount they have daily specials which can be located on their website. Deals range from 35 cent wings to $5 Mexican fi esta feasts all day everyday.

Ultimately Macado’s is the perfect place to go if you want quality food and you don’t want to break the bank. They are open Mon-day through Sunday for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m to 11:00 p.m. It’s close to campus so you can walk or drive there. It’s well worth the money spent and the comfortable “neighborhood” vibe is something that will keep sending me back.

NINER TIMES RECIPE

ToMAGo

Tamago is like a Japanese version of an omelet. While Japanese food can seem in-timidating to make, some of it is pretty simple to put together. Making tamago traditionally requires a rectangular pan that is specifi cally used for omelets, as well as sake, a sweet Japanese wine.

Directions:1. Preheat a lightly greased large saucepan to low-medium heat.2. Mix the fi rst four ingredients in a small bowl.3. Pour the egg mixture onto the pan.4. After two minutes of cooking, use a spatula to push the omelet so thatabout a third of one side is folded over. The top of the omelet shouldn’t be dry; the wetness helps everything stick together. Continue to push and roll the omelet over until the omelet resembles a log. 5. Take the pan off the heat and carefully transfer the omelet to a plate. 6. With a knife, cut the omelet into evenly sized rectangular shapes.

Ingredients:3 eggs1 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp white cooking wine1 tsp sugar½ sheet of nori (dried seaweed)

The 49ers Men’s Basketball (11-11; A-10 3-6) season has been full of ups, downs, and frustrations. After opening the season with a 7-2 record the Niners are 4-9 since Dec. 20.

The inconsistency of this team is maddening at times. One night you’ll watch a 49er team that pounds an in-state ri-val like Davidson, and another night you’ll watch a team that doesn’t make a fi eld goal until 12 minutes into the fi rst half like they did against Temple.

Head coach Alan Major is only in his second year at Char-lotte.

I do not expect a team with an unblemished record or a complete absence of team is-sues, but I do expect a team with some semblance of an identity.

Junior center Chris Braswell has been the Niners most con-sistent weapon averaging near-

ly 15 points and eight rebounds a contest.

Coach Major seems to head into each game wanting to get the ball inside to Braswell, a preseason all-Atlantic 10 third-teamer , but teams catch onto the game plan, forcing Braswell to fi ght off double teams for the majority of the game.

When this happens, the of-fense turns out a frenzy of un-warranted and low-percentage shots; some that fi nd the bot-tom of the net and others that are lucky to fi nd iron.

When the shots aren’t fall-ing, the team is quick to be dis-couraged. In their recent lose to Temple they fell behind 17-1 early on and never recovered. Their body language showed a team that was frustrated and disinterested within the fi rst ten minutes of the contest.

Temple ran up and down the fl oor all night and passed the ball around the 49ers as if they were a pick-up team at the YMCA.

Then in classic 49er fashion, they came out and played Xavi-er down to the wire in a 74-70 loss.

Even more worrisome than the play of the 49ers on the court is their behavior off the court.

In the game against Temple, junior forward KJ Sherrill was suspended and starters Der-rio Green and Jarvarris Bar-nett rode the bench for the fi rst chunk of the game due to un-disclosed rules violations.

Barnett is currently the team’s second leading scorer while Green led the team in scoring a year ago.

The recent disciplinary is-sues give Niner Nation eerie fl ashbacks to last season when Major booted then leading scorer Shamari Spears off the team 17 days after he was sus-pended indefi nitely.

This team isn’t quite what was expected coming into the season with the emergence of players like Demario Mayfi eld

and Pierria Henry and the di-minishing impacts of players like Green and Jamar “Deuce” Briscoe.

Green, another preseason all-A-10 third teamer along with Braswell, failed to even touch the court in Charlotte most recent game, a 69-62 vic-tory against Fordham.

In the previous game against LaSalle he went scoreless in his four minutes on the fl oor. Ma-jor accredits his recent lack of playing time on his defense, suspect shooting, and other “game fl ow” decisions.

Anyone who has had the pleasure to meet Major or hear him speak knows that he is a man of integrity, respect and discipline.

I have no doubts that he will bring this program to new heights in the A-10 and hope-fully national relevance. This season however feels like an unstable relationship of break-ups and make-ups for Niner Nation.
