To say that the UAHuntsville men’s soccer team is turning over a new leaf would be an understatement. The 2012 campaign saw many bitter disappointments, including a 10-0 drubbing at Montevallo. Needless to say, a revival of the program was needed.Enter new head coach Matt Watts. “The biggest challenge for this year’s side is rebuilding morale,” Coach Watts said in a recent interview, “both in the players and among the community.” Watts inherits, in essence, a brand new team. Of the 24 players, 12 are freshmen. If the Chargers are to be successful on the pitch, they need to be a cohesive unit.“That’s been one of the main points in camp for the boys: making sure that they are encouraging to each other, uplifting their teammates. We also have meals together in an effort to come together off the pitch,” Watts said.

After nearly a year off television screens, Breaking Bad returns to AMC to air the remainder of its fifth and final season, wrapping up a show many critics consider to be the best drama series in television history. The premiere’s cold open begins just as last year’s premiere episode began. Another glimpse of Walter White’s future reveals the White family home abandoned, dilapidated, and roped off by police tap with the name HEISENBERG spray painted on the living room wall. The episode, titled “Blood Money,” teases Walter’s eventual fall with his secret life as a manufacturer of meth seemingly out. Some have complained the episode moves at a slow clip. Premiere’s often have this feel as a result of moving characters and the plot points into place for the season’s planned arc. As a fan of the show, I was mostly immune from any pacing issues and was entranced as Walter White’s final journey

It was a scorching summer for U.S. intelligence with NSA leaker Edward Snowden gaining refuge in Russia and Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning convicted of providing classified material to WikiLeaks. Snowden’s flight occupied headlines over the summer after he leaked classified intelligence about the clandestine program PRISIM which logs electronic data and traffic to detect terrorist communication. Snowden had access to the classified material as a contract employee of the NSA. Snowden released the information while in Hong Kong. After failed attempts to extradite Snowden to the U.S. for prosecution and Snowden’s failure to gain political asylum, Snowden was stranded at the Moscow Airport for a month once the State Department revoked his passport. Snowden finally gained temporary asylum in Russia with some maneuvering

by his lawyers and the Russian government. The disclosure of PRISIM provoked rebuke from angry U.S. allies over the monitoring of digital traffic. Under the law, intelligence agencies cannot spy domestically on citizens without a FISA court warrant, but there are few restrictions on spying abroad. Many claim Snowden’s disclosures harm security by telling enemies how the U.S. monitors their chatter. Skype had been widely used by terrorist cells because of its reputation for encryption; however, since Snowden’s leaks many terrorists have stopped using it. In response to al-Qaeda’s abrupt change in communicating, Sen. Angus King said Snowden “has basically alerted people who are enemies of this country ... (like) al-Qaida, about what techniques we have been using to monitor their activities and foil plots, and compromised those efforts, and it’s very conceivable that people will die as a result.” Snowden also supplied Russia and China with information about intelligence collection efforts there. The deliberation phase of the Bradley Manning trial ran concurrently with Snowden’s

CAMPUS LIFE , Jonathon Savoy is a senior majoring in both Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. In addition to his full-time class schedule, Savoy maintains a Dean’s List GPA while working three on-campus jobs: Tutor, Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) Leader, and Chemistry Lab Teaching Assistant. How does the former UAHuntsville soccer player do it? According to Savoy, he succeeds at wearing so many hats by assessing his priorities, focusing on the task at hand, and utilizing the ever useful skill of time management. Savoy began his UAH academic career as a Chemistry major then changed to Chemical Engineering. However, last semester, Dr. William Setzer, the Chair of the Chemistry Department, informed Savoy of the Joint Undergraduate Master’s Program (JUMP) which allows students to begin their graduate degrees while still an undergraduate student. Jonathon was intrigued by the notion of completing his Master’s just months after his expected graduation in May 2014 and was easily persuaded to double major. Dr. Setzer has seen Savoy’s reputation flourish as a student with a passion for chemistry and as a student who is always willing to help those in need. Dr.

Setzer recruited Savoy as a Chemistry Lab Teaching Assistant where he instructs freshmen and sophomores with basic chemistry experimental concepts. In addition to his Teaching Assistant duties, Savoy has been a PASS leader for Chemistry 123 and is currently the PASS leader for Math 171. Savoy’s own experience as being a student in a PASS class convinced him to become a PASS leader and eventually a Tutor. According to Savoy, “when I was a freshman I had a PASS leader for Calculus that made learning fun and really helped me succeed. He inspired me to do the same for other students.” Savoy has helped many students succeed, including Taylor Bono. Bono, a former student in Savoy’s Chemistry PASS class says, “Jonathon’s enthusiasm and his willingness to help others motivated me to continue on with chemistry courses despite their difficulty. Jonathon loves Chemistry and he is dedicated to helping his students succeed. He inspired me to become a PASS Leader so that I could continue the trend of students guiding other students throughout a course and creating independent learners.” Savoy further demonstrated his passion for Chemistry and Engineering this summer with an internship

at Georgia Pacific in Dothan, Ala., where he worked as a process engineer. At UAH’s last career fair, Savoy turned his resume in to the recruiter from Georgia Pacific and received word a few months later that they were interested in him becoming an intern. He moved to Dothan for the summer and while at Georgia Pacific he helped with chemical trials on the pulp/paper mill and caustic area. Savoy says, “There is nothing more fulfilling than actually working hands on in an area that you’ve been studying for four years.” When asked what advice he would give people that are having difficulty juggling school, a job, and other activities, Savoy suggests, “Make yourself a schedule, stick to it, and stay active even on down days. People may think I have no social life, but that’s just not true. I enjoy going to the movies with my girlfriend, playing in the Huntsville men’s soccer league and running.” UAH is committed to helping students who may not be as skilled as Savoy in the time management department. The Student Success Center’s Peer Academic Coaching Program helps students with time management and with the overall adjustment to University life. You can find them at uah.edu/ssc.

While most of us eagerly await the first day of fall on Sept. 21, Germans at home and abroad anticipate an important event the following day, the election of a new Bundestag, the lower House of the German Parliament. When Germans once again head to the ballot, they seek to answer the question: How will Germany continue? The electoral system differs from the American system. The party that receives the most votes from Germany’s citizens forms the government. Most of the time, however, no party receives enough votes to govern alone. Often two parties must form a coalition. Experts suspect that this will happen again this year, with a coalition of CDU/CSU and FDP, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and SPD, or SPD and CDU/CSU (called “grosse Koalition”). Once the new Bundestag is elected there remains the question: Who will become Bundeskanzler (Chancellor) and head of the government? For the party CDU/CSU, Angela Merkel is the Spitzenkandidat (top-candidate). This means she will remain Bundeskanzler if the CDU/CSU wins the election. Since 2005, she has held this position and would gladly continue, but Peer Steinbrück, the Spitzenkandidat

for the SPD, would like to be Bundeskanzler. Both try to win voters through public speeches and visits to television shows. TV duels, common in the US, are rare, and there was only one for this election. Even to those who are not of German citizenship, the German elections matter. Germany remains one of the nations with the strongest economy worldwide, especially compared to the in-debt European countries (e.g. Greece, Spain). It has the second largest gold reserves in the world. Furthermore, Germany and the US frequently exchange both ideas and goods, and political visits are common. Finally, Germany is a pioneer in the

As the UAHuntsville women’s soccer team prepares for the new season, small steps will help the Chargers accomplish big goals in 2013.The Lady Chargers kicked off the season last Saturday on the road at Carson Newman, and prepare to kick off Gulf South Conference play this weekend at the University of West Georgia. The Chargers plan to look at the season one game at a time, particularly conference competitors. Playing in what is possibly one of the most competitive conferences, Head Coach Jimmy Mitchell looks at each game as an opportunity to do something special. The Chargers ultimate goal is a berth in the NCAA tournament. To do so, Mitchell plans to train to a high level every day and play at a consistently high level. With a young, talented team, 14 of 22 being in their first or second year in the program, Mitchell says “We have a chance to do some special things in 2013 on the field.” Mitchell is confident in the strength in goal with senior Iris Gunnarsdottir,

Big goals and small steps

who in 2012 produced four shutouts, matching the program record, recorded 122 saves, and ranked second in the GSC in save percentage (.792) and saves per game (6.10). Gunnarsdottir and junior Marie Blunt will be key in leading the defense for the Chargers. In midfield Freshman Maddie Maurice, and up front Sophomore Sydnie Fiocca and Junior Alex Petermann, will play key roles for the Chargers as well. Fiocca played a big role for the Chargers in 2012 with 6 game winning goals and was second on the team in points (23) and goals (9). Even though the Chargers will face tough competitors throughout their schedule, their biggest challenge may very well come in October. The Chargers will face the University of West Florida and Lee University. UWF won the National Championship in 2012 and will have an older more experienced team with 14 out of 23 being juniors and seniors. Lee became a part of the GSC conference this year and brings tough competition as well. Lee has won four out of the last six NAIA National Championships. Just two teams out of the GSC the Chargers will have to face to achieve their desired berth to the NCAA Tournament. Mitchell believes “If you win our conference you are definitely a contender for the National Championship,” which is exactly what the Chargers need to do. The Chargers will be traveling this Friday to the University of West Georgia and on Sunday to Valdosta State. The next home game will be Tuesday Sept. 17 against the University of Montevallo.

efforts to avoid prosecution. Manning was charged with espionage for providing classified diplomatic cables, war records, and videos to WikiLeaks. During his Army service, Manning was found to have provided thousands of documents related to sensitive national security and war-fighting subjects. Manning was subsequently convicted of most of the charges, but acquitted of aiding the enemy, a charge that could have carried the death penalty.

Snowden and Manning have created divisions in public discourse. Many label them as criminals for revealing state secrets, which both admitted to doing, and point out Snowden’s hypocrisy for claiming to be a champion of civil liberties, but filing asylum petitions in countries with no real civil liberties guarantees. Libertarians and the left, consider them to be modern Daniel Ellsbergs for revealing how the U.S. collects information.

collection practices, then they become useless because everyone, including enemies of the U.S., now know them. Jeffrey Toobin says, “These were legally authorized programs; (…) Snowden certainly knew this, because he leaked the very court order that approved the continuation of the project. So he wasn’t blowing the whistle on anything illegal; he was exposing something that failed to meet his own standards of propriety. The question, of course, is whether the government can function when all of its employees can take it upon themselves to sabotage the programs they don’t like.”

Snowden ContinuedBy Nicholas Neely

These so called “Geeks who Leak” represent an online philosophy that information has to be free and privacy is paramount. Any slight infringement is equivalent to tyranny. Snowden claimed his actions are a result of conscience, “The public needs to decide whether these programs and policies are right or wrong,” said Snowden. The problem Snowden ignores is the paradox of security. If there is a public discourse examining the merits of intelligence

Togetherness will give the new team a strong base, but as for their performance on the field, the attacking side of the ball could use a little work. “Defensively, we’re strong. I have confidence in our boys at the back. Our attacking has to improve, though. The past few scrimmages we have wasted some chances that I feel like we could have scored on.” Charger fans can put their trust in Watts. He cut his teeth as a player in one of the world’s toughest soccer leagues, the English Premier League. He spent three years with Norwich City before coming over to America, so he knows a thing or two

about demanding conditions. “I’ve had the privilege to learn from some of the best coaches. In England, excellence is not only expected, it’s demanded day-in and day-out. I bring that same mentality to our boys here. Nothing but the best will do.” Following the home opener this past Sunday that was against Lincoln Memorial, the Chargers have two more home games this week. Friday they host their first conference clash against Shorter at 7 p.m. Sunday the boys conclude the home stand with a match against Montevallo. That game has a 3:30 p.m. kickoff time. Come out and show the boys your support.

Woody Allen is one of America’s all-time greatest film directors, but in recent years his output has fluctuated wildly in quality. With “Blue Jasmine,” Allen has created one of the best offerings of his later career with a loosely updated take on “A Streetcar Named Desire,” filled with classic Allen tropes like the illusion of romance, the invisible divide between classes, and tragedy disguised as comedy. “Blue Jasmine” is told in two simultaneous storylines, both centering on Jasmine Francis who is played brilliantly by Cate Blanchett. One storyline shows how Jasmine was in the past married to a wealthy New York financier who is eventually revealed to be a fraud and sent to prison where he commits suicide. After a breakdown, Jasmine moves into her

Blue Jasmine

sister’s apartment where she has to get used to living far below her normal standards. Most of the praise directed towards the film has rightly revolved around the performance of Cate Blanchett who has been one of the best actresses around for more than a decade and she turns in one of her best work in this one. She successfully takes Jasmine on a whirlwind tour of different personalities as she goes from a glowing New York socialite to a nervous wreck to a woman determined to make the best of her situation to the bumbling shell of herself that she devolves to by the end of the film. Each stage is perfectly interpreted by Blanchett who brings just the right touch in terms of delivery and emotive effects to each persona. Blue Jasmine is a clear example of the nihilism

that runs through Allen’s filmography. Nearly everything in Jasmine’s life is illusory from her marriage to her relationship with her sister to the temporary happiness she finds with an aspiring politician who does not know about her past. Like in all of his best work, Allen hides this viewpoint underneath comedy but the final effect of Blue Jasmine is despair, and it is undoubtedly the bleakest major American film of the year so far. Blue Jasmine is not quite memorable enough to be considered one of Allen’s classic films and not nearly as purely enjoyable as his 2011 Midnight in Paris, but with exquisite cinemato-graphy and a tour de force performance from Blanchett, Blue Jasmine is a welcome respite from the last few month’s constant barrage of summer blockbusters.

began with Walt’s rotted house symbolizing what Heisenberg/Walt’s ego has cost him. The final scene of the episode sets the tone for the rest of the season very well and we finally get the confrontation between Walt and his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank for which fans have waited five years. Last season, Hank at last learns Walt is the mythic meth cook Heisenberg and Walt, knowing Hank’s investigation tactics when he helped Hank monitor the now dead kingpin Gus Fring, knows he knows. Bryan Cranston has always done fine work when Walter is forced to lie. The fight between Walt and Hank is icy and one of words. Walt is able to try to dissuade, and even threaten Hank, without admitting to anything. “If you don’t know who I am, then maybe your

best course would be to tread lightly,” he cryptically suggests. Walt also manages to disclose what we had suspected. Walt’s cancer has returned and he points out that even if Hank managed to convince anyone Walt is Heisenberg, he would have nothing to show for it except the breakup of his brother-in-law’s family. In addition to the episode setting up the final cat-and-mouse game, Jesse Pinkman’s story arc appears to be the show-runners’ one affirmation of redemption. Jesse’ attempts to return the drug money, which has come to represent to him the victims and death that is left in their wakes, was touching. Jesse spent the early run of the series eagerly wanting to join the drug business. Now after enduring the death of the Sharp boy last season and calling out

“The pellet in the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.” Song-and-dance man Danny Kaye shakes up Merrie Old England in this hilarious “The Adventures of Robin Hood” knockoff, in which a traveling actor, Hubert Hawkins, is mistaken for a medieval rebel. He stumbles upon romance, court intrigue and a deadly joust as triumphant silliness piles on the plot. In the joust the phony jester Hawkins disguises himself as a knight, but is not a fighter. So he gets assigned the job of babysitting the royal heir, a baby possessing a mysterious birthmark. When Hawkins and Maid Jean intercept the king’s new jester on his way to court, Hawkins gets the

The Court Jester (1956)chance to prove himself by taking on the jester’s identity and infiltrating the court. Too bad that the incomparable Giacomo is also a grade A assassin, secretly hired by the King’s advisor to eliminate any competition at court. Princess Gwendolyn supplies countless laughs when she threatens to throw herself from the tallest tower anytime she does not get what she wants. You will get a stomach ache from laughing at the crazy jester who always manages to get out of the hodgepodge he causes: “A poster unemployed is nobody’s fool!” Fun fact: Unimpressed with him in tights, producers of the film made Danny Kaye wear “leg falsies” to improve the shape of his legs. So do not dare to say that he does not look dashing!

Walt’s lie about what happened to their former partner Mike, just Jesse’s conscience is at its breaking point. We also get some laughs courtesy of fan’s favorite sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman who has the gall to make Jesse wait while he finishes a Korean message. Also, the scene between Skinny Pete and Badger discussing Badger’s Star Trek fan script about a pie eating contest between Kirk, Spock, and Chekov was funny and went viral soon after the show aired. The final run of new episodes will center on the ongoing relationships between Walt, Jesse, and Hank. Will Jesse side with Hank? Will Hank even move against Walt now that he knows the cancer is back? Will Walt’s ego not allow him to sit idly by? We’ll find out in October.

Review fromthe Archives

“May I take the pleasure of introducing Mr. J. Widdecombe Billows, the inventor of the Billows Feeding Machine, a practical device which automatically feeds your men while at work?” The Little Tramp, aka Charlie Chaplin, is back to attack the machine age. While we may not have come up with a feeding machine yet, his critique of social ills and the struggle of survival are still relevant. An oppressed assembly-line worker is used as a guinea pig for the test of the Billows Feeding Machine, which malfunctions and drives him insane. He is arrested after being mistaken for a radical leader, but receives parole after he stops a jailbreak. Life outside is

tough and unemployment and poverty prevail. He meets a starving gamin, and together they dream of a middle-class life. The gamin subsequently becomes his partner in life. This was supposed to be Chaplin’s first full sound film, but instead, we hear spoken voices only when they come from mechanical devices. Chaplin allows the Tramp to speak during the restaurant scene, but the song is in gibberish, since Chaplin insisted what is said be universal. The film is a fun delight, providing both food for thought and laughs. Remember: “If you wish to keep ahead of your competitor, you cannot afford to ignore the importance of the Billows Feeding Machine.”

Modern Times(1936)

Freaks(1932)Man falls for woman. Woman does not return love. The principle that has been employed myriad times never fades away in cinema. Zzzz… Now imagine that man being a midget in a carnival and the woman a beautiful acrobat. This is the premise on which the cult classic Freaks is built upon. The setting is a traveling circus of slideshow “freaks.” Gorgeous but vain Cleopatra learns that little Hans is to inherit money and plans to woo her admirer, although she has no true affections for him. Once Hans’ slideshow friends toast to Cleo’s freak future, she becomes distraught. Hans’ pals, who find out Cleo is cheating on him with the strongman, take revenge upon her on a dark night.

Although some scenes are, well, grotesque, they hold immense power and offer both shocking and touching moments. For no matter how deformed the performers are (the Hilton sisters are joined at the hips, Zip and Pip are pinheads), they are admirable because they look out for one another. Thus, I proudly declare myself a “freak” as well. Curiously, this film – selected for the National Film Registry Outstanding Films was severely cut in the US during its release and banned in the UK for nearly 30 years, the original 90 minutes were never restored. Freaks, the perfect antidote to the cult of physical perfection, will have you, too, chanting “one of us, one of us!”

Company: Part 1

Stone Brewing Company is one of the newest and most exciting brands to make its way into Huntsville. It’s based out of Escondido, Cali. They have only been around since 2012, but have made their way to be the 10th largest craft brewery in the United States and the 17th largest overall. This is a two-part review, simply because they just have so many good beers. This week I’ll be covering three of Stone’s paler ales, and next week I’ll cover some of their dark brews. Enjoy!

Pale AleThis pale ale pours a reddish brown color and has a sweet, malty aroma. It has an alcohol by volume of 5.4 percent. You get some sweet caramel notes from the taste, a fair amount of maltiness, and a solid hop bite with minimal citrus notes. It starts sweet and leaves a lightly lingering bitterness. It’s not a bad dynamic.

IPA This India pale ale pours a golden amber color and has a very hoppy and citrusy aroma. It has an ABV of 6.9 percent. This is a classic West coast IPA when it comes to flavor and hop character. The hops are intense, with that unique citrus presence, reminiscent of grapefruit. It’s smooth but finishes bitter and dry, which is not a bad thing at all, but be warned that it will take over your pallet and drown out other flavors you may be trying to enjoy, say from a tasty meal or fine tobacco.

Love at first sight is just as real as the tooth fairy or Santa Claus. Why? How can you fall in love with someone just by looking at them? If that is the love someone had for me I’d be like “Homeboy are you that shallow?!” Granted the truth is there does have to be some sort of physical attraction. You have to want to kiss the person and not feel revolted, but looks FADE. And if love at first sight is what you are betting on, well chances are that will fade too. There is a part in “The Symposium” by Plato where he describes love as having two forms, the weaker being love at first sight. Which he pretty much says is not true love. True love is love of the soul. Love of the soul does not fade with time, it lasts forever because the soul never fades or dies. That is what real love is.Unless you have the ability to look at someone and know their soul....well I call shenanigans. It takes time to develop, it takes effort and patience, and ups and downs.Love at first sight is infatuation rather than true love because it is too simple/shallow, easily possessed, happens in an instant, and can fade with time because love of the physical

The Soap: Love at First Sight

is not lasting. But true love is complicated, hard to find, takes time to develop and does not fade with time, because it is love of the soul which is everlasting. Therefore, love at first sight is not true love, but instead an infatuation that will fade with time. There’s a quote that comes to mind here “True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.” That is why I find it hard to take people who only believe in love at first sight seriously. Yes, I have known one or two. Please love wisely! This is again merely an opinion, but 9 times out of 10 this theory will probably be proven to be true.

This award-winning amber ale pours a beautiful orange/amber color and has an ABV of 4.4 percent. The aroma comes off mostly hoppy and fresh, but there is a lot more here. Though the taste is undeniably hoppy with some of that great bitter yet sweet citrus bite, it is packed to the brim with other flavors. Despite the mostly hoppy aroma, it manages to pack in a lot of solid malt punch. Every flavor is a bit of a

punch to your pallet honestly, but it’s very smooth and not abrasive in mouthfeel. I like this beer a lot actually. If you want something intense, yet lower in alcohol and very drinkable, this is an awesome beer.
