In the years since 9/11, the media has portrayed the Middle East, Arabs and Muslims in a par-ticular light — a light that Andrea Assaf said lumps a diverse group of people into a negative stereo-type based on war and conflict.

Assaf, a USF artist-in-residence and artistic director of Art2Action Inc., aims to expand what many in the U.S. consider Middle Eastern society by using comedy, poetry, dance and other art to broaden awareness and understanding of Arab and Muslim cultures.

“I think the generations of folks that have grown up with that post 9/11 imagery have been fed by mainstream media a mainstream monolithic concept of who people are in the Middle East and what a Muslim is, or who Arabs are,” she said.

This year, members of USF received an $189,200 grant, one of six awards nationwide, to fund a two-year artist series focused on “Building Bridges.” Funded by Art2Action Inc., Assaf is leading a project called “This Bridge” to bridge the gap between American and Middle Eastern cultures.

Assaf said USF’s project will specifically use the art of Muslim

and Arab women, the first of which was this weekend when TED Fellow Negin Farsad hosted a comedy show in the Marshall Student Center titled “The Muslims Are Coming!” to open the dialogue about Middle Eastern cultures and U.S. policy.

“Tampa is a very unique com-munity,” Assaf said. “We have very large Arab and Muslim popu-lations in the Tampa Bay area and central Florida. We also have one of the largest military com-munities in the country … I think this combination offers a unique opportunity to engage in com-munity-wide dialogues about U.S. policy and engage veterans in

those conversations as well.”Assaf herself, as a Lebanese

American artist and poet, will host a Spoken Word perfor-mance featuring musician Aida Shahghasemi in Barness Recital Hall on Monday.

As the events continue through-out the year, the project will show-case work such as a dance per-formance by Donna Mejia and a piece by Egyptian graffiti artist Aya Tarek.

“What we’re interested in doing with this project is really helping people understand the incredible diversity within Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim cul-

Despite the viral success of the Ice Bucket Challenge, the cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) may still be far away.

In the meantime, a thera-peutic regimen recently tested at USF on lab mice genetically modified to display symptoms of the disease, could stall its progression.

Dominic D’Agostino, an assistant professor of molecu-lar pharmacology and physiol-ogy at USF Health, said the results were promising.

“We put together a project that is a combination therapy that utilizes things readily avail-able to patients,” he said.

USF researchers and stu-dents are currently study-ing the effectiveness of “the Deanna Protocol,” a new regi-men of nutritional supplements combined with moderate exer-cise to combat muscle atrophy and motor neuron degradation caused by ALS.

“What’s unique about the Deanna Protocol is that it hits multiple mechanisms working

synergistically together to pre-vent the cells of the body from dying,” D’Agostino said.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, for the famous 1940s baseball player who developed it, attacks the

nerve cells responsible for mus-cle control. As the motor neu-rons degenerate, patients pro-gressively lose control of their body until the lungs fatally give into paralysis.

“ALS will impair your abil-

ity to speak, to swallow and to breathe,” D’Agostino said. “It’s a terminal illness. When some-one gets ALS, they’re going to die from it — they know that.”

average patient is two to five years, according to the ALS Association.

“Steven Hawking has ALS and has lived with it for quite some time,” D’Agostino said. “He’s lived with it for decades, but that’s extremely rare.”

The disease can develop at anytime, without warning or reason, to people of all eth-nic and socioeconomic status-es. According to the Florida Hospital, it affects up to 30,000 people in the U.S.

Though ALS is the world’s most common neuromuscular disorder, not much is known about its cause or treatment, and while the Deanna Protocol is no cure, it could slow the pro-gression by supplying energy to decaying motor neurons.

Dr. Vincent Tedone, a retired Tampa orthopedic surgeon, created the regimen after his daughter was diagnosed with the disease. With little avail-able treatment, Tedone began experimenting with alterna-tives.

Through trial and error, Tedone found Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) was an ingredient that played a vital role in slowing her deteriora-tion. Commonly marketed as a bodybuilding supplement in health stores such as GNC, the compound aids in protein syn-thesis.

“When the father ran out of AKG supplements to give his daughter, she froze and couldn’t move. She became ataxic with tremors,” he said. “When they got her another source of AKG, her symptoms subsided. The attack on her speech and her motor function went away.”

All other elements of the reg-imen are commercially avail-able, such as zinc, magnesium and vitamin B complex, and are meant to aid the cells in breaking down energy for use.

Another source of ALS research on campus is the USF ALS Clinic, a large clinic found-ed in 2010 that treats 150 to 200 patients. It employs physi-cal therapists, speech patholo-gists, dieticians, psychiatrists and respiratory therapists to help patients manage ALS.

Because of its unorthodox approach to testing, Dr. Lara

Katzin, an assistant professor of neuromuscular medicine and electromyography, said the USF ALS Clinic could not officially support the Deanna Protocol.

“It’s just not done in the way that regular clinical trials are done,” she said. “It’s a whole list of different compounds being taken without individual ones being studied.”

The clinic also conducts clinic trials that patients may enroll in, such as research into bone marrow-derived stem cell treatment and the effect of strength training on respiratory function.

Katzin cautioned that patients must understand the Deanna Protocol is not widely-tested enough to be approved with confidence by the medical community, and it is still not at the point to justify a clinical level.

“Patients can be vulnerable to anything put online that says it can make them better,” she said.

D’Agostino said it is too diffi-cult to get FDA approval for sup-plemental regimens because of the ethics of a human trial where one group is given pla-cebo.

“There’s a sense of (patients) being completely abandoned by the scientific community and the medical communi-ty because they’re given no options,” he said.

Nonetheless, he said fund-ing from the recent Ice Bucket Challenge would help continue hope of a better future for ALS patients.

“Anything that brings out more awareness to ALS is a good thing, no matter how you do it,” he said.

According to the ALS Association, over three million donors raised more than $100 million this summer due to the Ice Bucket Challenge, com-pared to last summer’s $2.8 million.

The USF ALS Clinic recently took the Ice Bucket Challenge in a string of challenges across USF Health. Katzin said the clinic was proud to the support awareness for the patients it treats.

“These are some of the most amazing patients,” she said. “They are wonderful, wonder-ful patients that have a wonder-ful spirit.”

tures,” Assaf said.Assaf said she will work with

students and faculty from various departments around campus to create not only engaging perfor-mances, but also educational dis-cussions to help broaden the com-munity’s view on global cultures.

Salwa Mansour, a recent USF graduate working on the project, said she hopes the project will expose more people to art and culture. She said one of the biggest misconceptions most people have about Muslims and Arabs is that they are one in the same.

“Not all Muslims are Arabs, and all Arabs are not Muslims …,” she said. “Becoming a citizen of the world isn’t something you learn through a textbook … You learn cultures through coming in contact with different people and through the arts,” Mansour said.

A full list of the project’s events throughout the year can be found at art2action.org. Students who participate in online research sur-veys can also receive free tickets to all the events.

“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For”

Director Robert Rodriguez and graphic novelist Frank Miller return to the sable streets and boulevards of film noir for “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.” This sequel is a dark, violent and testosterone-pro-ducing spectacle that relies too much on Mickey Rourke’s character Marv, a weathered,

alcoholic ogre who weaves in and out of the film’s three narratives. Shot and edited entirely in Rodriguez’s Austin studio, this film is visually impressive and a testament to Rodriguez’s skill in the digital age.

The three plots, however, never form a cohesive story-line to make viewers care for any character inhabiting the inky terrain. The characters

are mere composites of film noir’s glory days: gumshoe voiceovers, femme fatales and cardsharks who perme-ate the comic books. What made the first one so original and engaging is thrown away in favor of Eva Green’s exces-sive nudity and Jessica Alba’s chaps.

“As Above, So Below”

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,” utters George (Ben Feldman) to his fellow spelunk-ers in the ominous catacombs of Paris just before the you-know-what hits the fan. This self-reflexive line also warns all who enter the theater for John Erick Dowdle’s new movie “As Above, So Below,” a boring and repetitive horror film that

relies too heavily on cliches and proves just how hard it is to make a horror film to com-pete with last year’s surprise hit “The Conjuring.”

Perdita Weeks plays Scarlet Marlowe, an alchemist search-ing for the rare jewel known as the Philosopher’s Stone and hoping to retrieve the treasure all for the purpose of scientific research. Marlowe, with a reck-less demeanor and a team of

transnationalist, H&M-wearing cave divers, soon stumbles upon a dead knight and gold-filled grottos that later induce psychological traumas from each individual’s past. Like the camera’s aesthetic, one will want to “shake” these charac-ters out of their fragile state, or maybe a friend to head for the exit.


“November Man”

Pierce Brosnan stars in the new spy film “November Man,” a muddled and con-trived piece of world hysteria that had audiences hoping Brosnan would order his mar-tini shaken, not stirred.

Brosnan plays Peter

Devereaux, an agent protect-ing his former lover Natalia (Mediha Musliovic) from assassination. Director Roger Donaldson moves the film with such speed that, by the time credits roll, one might be wondering what the film was ultimately about. It is great to see Brosnan play

this type of role with great conviction and, of course, his Bond-esque magnetism. Hopefully, his agent can pick better scripts that comple-ment Brosnan’s presence as one of Hollywood’s great leading men.


“If I Stay”

An emotional punch straight to the gut, “If I Stay” is unfor-gettable. The film follows Mia (Chloë Grace Moretz) in an out-of-body experience, as she and her family are treated in a hospital after a car crash. The performance by Moretz and Jamie Blackley, young lov-ers connected through music,

was astounding. They seem to dig deep inside themselves to deliver painfully beautiful performances that resonate long after the film ends.

The story is so realistic and plausible that it creates a very cerebral experience for the viewer that few films today are able to achieve. The film makes its audiences think about what it means to stay

alive and what it would take to not want to go on. Thought-provoking and powerful, “If I Stay” reminds viewers to make the most of life and to tell loved ones how much they are loved, while you still can.

from White. He would not return to the game, but he has not been ruled out for Saturday.

In the second half, Mack would find the end zone three more times, scoring all of the Bulls’ touchdowns. These touch-downs were from 60, 56 and three yards.

Mack finished the game with the record for most all-purpose yards in USF history with 280.

White couldn’t give enough credit to the freshman running back for saving the Bulls.

“I just helped us move the ball,” White said. “When you have Marlon Mack playing like that, it just makes your job that much easier.”

Mack’s remarkable show masked what was an otherwise subpar performance by the offense. Only two USF receivers caught more than one pass and none were able to score.

“First game, he comes in and ties the rushing record,” senior center Austin Reiter said. “That makes the offense look that much better.”

Even with the offensive line

in disarray after injuries to Thor Jozwiak and Quinterrius Eatmon, Mack was able to find gaps and lead the offense.

“He has great vision as a back,” Reiter said. “He makes our job easier because his vision puts him on the right track and, as you can see, he broke a cou-ple free (Saturday night).”

Taggart was hesitant to name Mack the starter for Week 2 against Maryland, but said the freshman made a strong argu-ment for it.

Named to the AAC weekly honor roll and Running Back of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards, Mack cur-rently leads the FBS in rushing yards with 275.

But no matter who is scor-ing for the Bulls, Taggart noted higher attendance at Saturday’s game, which had 21,946 fans in attendance according to Tampa Bay Sports Authority, and a packed student section.

“That was big-time from the start to the finish,” Taggart said. “… That’s the best student sec-tion in the country.”

USF hosts Maryland at Raymond James Stadium at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Bulls go winless in opening weekend

USF started off the week-end in Indiana with a match against No. 8 Purdue. The Bulls stayed close in the final two sets, losing 25-22 and 25-23. Though USF lost 0-3, junior outside hitter Erin Fairs nearly recorded a double-double with 11 kills and nine digs.

The Bulls opened their match with LSU by winning the first set 25-16, but would end up losing the final three sets. Fairs was able to record her first double-double of the season with 11 kills and 15 digs. Senior Jennica Mullins also had a respectable perfor-mance with nine kills and four

blocks. USF faced its second ranked

opponent of the weekend with No. 14 San Diego on Saturday. The Bulls would lose in straight sets, but Fairs was able to record 11 kills and nine digs.

USF will play its first home game this weekend, the USF Invitational, starting Friday at 2 p.m. The Bulls will play Buffalo, FIU and South Carolina State.

Opinion6

As the nation watches the protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked by the death of Michael Brown, it is clear that the intolerance and prejudice brought to light in the civil rights movement is still present in society.

A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania shows this prejudice is still abundant in higher education.

In the study by UPenn pro-fessor Katherine Milkman, she and her colleagues sent identical emails to 6,500 professors at 259 different U.S. institutions requesting research opportunities before applying to doctoral programs. The names used on the emails were gender and racially dis-tinct. The study found that the requests made by gender and racial minorities were ignored at significantly higher rates than those by white males, especially at private institu-tions.

According to the U.S. Census, only 2.9 million African-Americans and 2.5 million Hispanic students were enrolled in college in 2009, as opposed to 12.7 million Caucasian stu-dents. In the same year, 11.6 million female and 8.7 million male students were enrolled. While women are quantita-tively the majority, they are a social minority as a result of the prevalent gender bias.

Women are particularly underrepresented and indirectly discriminated against in the science, engineering, tech-nology and medicine (STEM) fields. According to the New

York Times, only one-fifth of doctorates in physics in the U.S. are awarded to women, of which 50 percent are American, and the starting sal-ary for women in science is $4,000 less than a man’s on average.

Eastern Kentucky University sociology professor Aaron Thompson states that diver-sity in education promotes creativity, self-awareness and social development. Integrating diversity into higher education provides students with an opportuni-ty to work with others who may have culturally different backgrounds. However, racial and gender minorities do not receive the same educational opportunities as the majority of students.

The New York Times reports that racial minorities tend to be absent in STEM fields because they often have to attend secondary schools that prevent them from progressing in sciences; these students must contend with prejudices that are present throughout their education.

Diversity in higher educa-tion gives students a realistic view of the world and prepares them for a changing work-place. The U.S. has come a long way since the civil rights movements of the 1960s, but “minority” now means more than black and white. The class-room is the portal to the world and should better promote open-mindedness.

#100happydays might be difficult to achieve

It’s the latest trend on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram: documenting 100 moments in order to achieve long-term happiness.

#100happydays, a social media challenge where par-ticipants sign up through the #100happydays foundation website, tracks users’ 100-day journeys throughout the challenge via the hashtag. According to the Huffington Post, 350,000 people are participating worldwide.

Beyond promoting happi-ness, the foundation donates proceeds to people with dis-abilities and puts money away for future projects. Participants are encouraged to donate by purchasing merchandise such as photo

books and postcards through the #100happydays website.

This challenge, an ambitious attempt at eradicating nega-tive perspectives and helping people appreciate the little things, might just be another way for social media users to struggle for likes and favorites from their friends and follow-ers instead of looking to actual-ly improve their mindset. This challenge may be a result of rising depression rates; an ABC 13 Eyewitness article claimed antidepressant usage has increased 400 percent since 1994.

Ironically enough, studies conducted by the University of Michigan on Facebook users show a connection between usage of the site and level of unhappiness, making #100happydays seem like a counterintuitive endeavor.

While it may sound easy, the foundation’s website states that 71 percent of people already failed to complete the chal-lenge, the main excuse being lack of time. As some users find, however, being happy 100 percent of the time is nearly impossible. Instagram and Twitter posts under the hashtag show pictures of food, scenic views, selfies with old friends and some as simple as new

pairs of shoes.Despite the intent, some par-

ticipants report more depres-sion after the challenge, feel-ing they didn’t have enough moments to document.

Radhika Sanghani, a writer for the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph, was a participant who felt miserable by the end of the challenge. In a recent article, she said she felt she “needed to pick something tangible” to photograph, and that waking up with a happy feeling or sense of gratitude wasn’t enough.

Keeping a personal jour-nal of happy moments might be a better alternative to this challenge, as posting on social media could make others unhappy or result in people posting what they think their friends want to see.

Happiness should not rely on a challenge, and it shouldn’t stop after 100 days. This chal-lenge should be a personal mis-sion, not a project that has to be broadcasted. Though hap-piness all day, every day, is a bit idealistic, there is nothing wrong with chasing that posi-tive mindset.

Mack carries Bulls in season opener

USF women’s soccer captures first season win against FGCU

For the first time this sea-son, the USF women’s soc-cer team (1-2-1) was able to secure a win as they beat FGCU (2-1-0) 1-0 at Corbett Stadium.

The Bulls were shut out in the first half, but sophomore Leticia Skeete found the net for what would be the game-winning goal, the first of her career.

USF was able to shut down

the Eagles’ offense, allowing only four shots, compared to the Bulls’ 15. The abundance of shots kept FGCU’s keeper Brittany Brown on her toes with seven saves.

The Bulls had been out-scored 4-1 in the three games prior, despite outshooting their opponents 41-35.

Off a late-game corner kick by senior forward Demi Stokes, senior forward Sarah Miller scored with a header, but the goal was taken off the board due to a foul.

It looked like FGCU would have a late chance to score, but the USF defense, led by juniors Alexis Rossi and Jackie Simpson, was able to defend the goal and preserve the shutout.

It was a quiet night for fresh-man keeper Thordis Aikman who needed only one save to secure her first career shutout, USF’s first of the season.

The Bulls return to action at 8 p.m. Friday in the Blue Raider Classic when they will face host Middle Tennessee.

Before Saturday’s game at Raymond James Stadium, coach Willie Taggart called two fresh-men into his office in light of starting running back Darius Tice’s knee injury, which he sus-tained in practice earlier in the week.

“I brought the young running backs in my office and told them a couple of jokes, tried to get them to relax and told them it’s OK to be nervous,” Taggart said.

Taggart told Marlon Mack and D’Ernest Johnson that Tice would be unable to play, and Mack would be the starter for USF with Johnson as backup.

The Bulls struggled in the first quarter, as USF gave up two touchdowns to Western Carolina and found themselves in a nearly identical situation to last year’s: losing to a Division II school which they paid more than $400,000 to have come play. Sophomore quarterback Mike White had an erratic first half, going 5 for 19 for 79 yards with one interception. USF’s offense looked to be in similar shape as last season.

“We just weren’t executing at all,” Taggart said. “Mike was just off. I don’t know what he was in the first half. Some of the throws he was making, I’ve never seen him throw the ball like that before.”

“I got in my own mind in the first half,” White said. “I was kind of shaky, trying to force things. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a game situation, so I had to get the feel of it.”

The Bulls were able to put six points on the board from sure-footed senior kicker Marvin Kloss. He would finish the game 3-for-3 in field goals, his longest field goal coming from 47 yards out.

But with 5:38 remaining in the first half, USF would reach the end zone for the first time as Mack ran around the right edge and found a gap that led him to a 62-yard touchdown on the first play of the drive.

The touchdown put the Bulls behind by one, but Mack’s day would not be done.

With under a minute to go in the first half, senior wide receiver Andre Davis bruised his sternum laying out to catch a 44-yard pass
