Apple vs Android: Which is Better?

The Georgia Dome sounded loudly with cheers from South Carolina State University fans as the

Bulldogs ended North Carolina A&T’s win streak with their triumphant win during the Atlanta Classic. Led by redshirt senior quarterback Richard Cue and head coach Buddy Pough, the Bulldogs improved their overall record to 4-2, 2-0 in the MEAC while the win forced the Aggies to a 3-1 overall record and 1-1 in the MEAC. “I thought we played hard the entire game. We didn’t do some of the best things at times but there was no lack of effort,” stated Coach Pough when discussing the game. “We knew they [NC A&T] was good against the run, so we knew we had to throw the ball to have a chance at winning the game.” The Aggies drew first blood with a 31-yard field goal by junior kicker Jose Garcia-Camacho, putting them up 3-0 for the first quarter. The Bulldogs took the lead scoring a touchdown off a two yard run by sophomore running back Dondre Lewis-Freeman and a completed extra point by redshirt senior kicker Nick Belcher. The Bulldogs didn’t hold their 7-3 lead for long. The Aggies scored a touchdown from redshirt senior running back Dominique Drake off a 14-yard run and a successful kick by Garcia-Camacho. They held their 10-7 lead until the end of the second quarter until the Bulldogs scored again. Cue completed a 13-yard pass to redshirt senior wide receiver Caleb Davis for the touchdown and the subsequent extra point kick by Belcher was good. Going into halftime the Bulldogs were up 14-10 over the Aggies. The third quarter saw North Carolina score their second touchdown of the game off a 13-yard run

by senior running back/wide receiver Ricky Lewis. The kick from Garcia-Camacho put them up 17-14; the Aggies wouldn’t score again until the end of the fourth quarter. The only safety of the game was awarded to SC State when senior defensive back Darius Drummond tackled freshman kicker Dominic Frescura. SC State scored once more off a career long 49-yard field goal kick by Belcher with 36 seconds left in the third quarter. Senior wide receiver Tyler McDonald edged even closer to the record books with his 65-yard completion from Cue to score the only Bulldog touchdown in the fourth quarter putting SC State up 26-17 with 13:56 left in the game. The Aggies were unable to capitalize during their possession. The Bulldogs returned to the field but were unable to score another touchdown but added more points to the score with a 22-yard field goal completion from Belcher. North Carolina scored their final touchdown and the final points of the game with 4:30 left in the game. Kindle completed a 25-yard pass to junior wide receiver Desmond Lawrence. Garcia-Camacho followed the touchdown with a successful kick. In a game saving tackle, junior defensive end Andrew Carter sacked Kindle for a loss of 10 yards with 1:20 left on the clock. Kindle was sacked three times during the game. The sack sealed the Bulldogs’ win over the Aggies. Other standout players include redshirt senior linebacker Joe Thomas and senior defensive back Kimario McFadden. Both players led the defense with nine tackles each. Junior linebacker Justin Hughes had seven tackles. Cue’s performance earned him SC State’s Most Valuable Player honors.

In recent years, Apple products and Android, specifically Samsung, have been going head to head

for popularity (since the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S2, the two have been the most popular companies out) but Apple wins this competition hands down. Apple has better products all around. Yes, Samsung has some great perks, such as the ability to customize and the great cameras, but Apple products are much faster and less likely to crash. They also have more apps. Apple users have the privilege of getting popular apps before Android users, such as Instagram, Temple Run and Vine; all apps that didn’t come into the Android world until a few months after the release on the iPhones. Apple products also have the ever so popular emojis, which android users are not always able to see. Yes, the products have several different texting apps and keyboard apps that include an app to “decode”, but we all know that it’s just not the same. Apple products also have a greater battery life, to improve the battery life on an android

you constantly have to close background applications and adjust the brightness of the device. This isn’t

needed with apple products. With the new iOS7 update, the developers have made the most common settings and notification bar accessible from the home screen and lock screen. They have also made the background more colorful and smooth running.You also have the ability to block unwanted contacts right from your phone, and swipe to close access applications from the home screen. As far as the physical design, focusing on just the phones, the iPhone has a more sleek design. The iPhone 5 was made thinner and it was upgraded to a 4.2in screen. The Galaxies do have us on the bigger screen, but it still looks more like something someone would have if they are more casual. The newer iPhone 5 and 5S look more like business phones, while they made the 5C more colorful. Apple is better because it has taken something so complicated so easy for the people to use, which would you prefer

Apple or Android?

Android versus Apple has been the major controversy since the fourth generation iPhone

was released; Twitter has been flooded with the hash tag TeamiPhone and TeamAndroid ever since but at the end of the day #TeamAndroid is the better option. There is currently no other software on the mobile market like Android. Google engineered and financed Android and Google’s own apps run best on it. Who doesn’t love Google? With millions of apps, games, songs and videos on Google Play, Android is great for fun and for getting things done. Each version of Android is named after a dessert and the most recent version of Android is Jelly Bean. With Android, you’re in control of your mobile experience. Unlike the iOS, you can customize every aspect of your Android device to your liking. Try doing that with an iPhone without jail breaking it. Android devices come in all kinds of sizes, with all sorts of features and at all sorts of prices. I currently have the largest Android phone, in size that has been released so far, an LG Optimus G Pro and I am in love with it. Gabrielle Edwards, freshman biology major, was

among those who favored the Android over the iPhone.

“It lasts longer and it’s way easier for me to operate,” said Edwards. Jennifer Doggett, senior and early childhood education major was very open and confident when discussing how she felt about the battle between the two devices. She expressed that the Android is so much better than the iPhone. “Because it is!” said Doggett, even though she recently got an iPhone 4. I had always been an Android fan until I bought my first and only iPhone in 2011. I immediately fell in love with it and all of

its features, until I cracked the screen this past spring. I was a very upset individual. I knew then that it was time for a change. Not because the phone lost value, but I had grown so tired of the same old features and the same basic layout. I had it for two years and was more than ready to go back to my life with

an Android, even after I had the screen replaced. I don’t think that the war between Android and Apple will ever die down completely. Each company will always try and outdo the other by releasing new and improved products. That is until a new company emerges...

Question of the Week:

“Yes I do think we are slaves to technology, we as humans beings of this generation couldn’t survive or do the work our parents did let alone grand parents did. Our parents had to actually go to the library look through the Rolodex with out having computers that functions the way ours do. They didn’t have Google copy and paste we have that and if we didn’t we’d be stupider without it. Half of us can’t cook so we microwave everything which is pointless.”-Erica Jenkins, sophomoreCriminal Justice

“I think we are slaves to technology because it’s become something we can not go without for even a second. Our phones and computers are the most things we as college students rely on just to get through a normal hectic day in class for school work or just to send a text or check Facebook, Twitter or even Instagram. Overall it has become a clutch on society because sooner or later there is going to be a time where the technology might go out and we will have to fend for ourselves.”-Damion Thaxton, juniorMusic Education

“We are gradually becoming slaves to technology and loosing the essence of life. We are trading the smell of real books and hard-cover albums to eBooks and online albums. We tweet rather than talk, update statuses rather than living the moment and even putting our food on Instagram before eating it. Conversation has become a skill of the past. We are left with no motivation to carry on conversation face-to-face because we already know almost everything about our friends even before leaving the house.”-Stephanie Lampkin, sophomoreBroadcast Journalism

The Men Against Cancer, also known as M.A.C., is a non-profit organization on the campus of South

Carolina State University, which supports the fight against all cancer diagnostics. The organization was created by SC State Alumna and current SC State professor Dr. Brandi Wright. Dr. Wright has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from South Carolina State University, a Master’s Degree in Health Administration from the University of South Carolina and a PhD in Health Services. Wright has taught at Benedict College, Allen University and the University of South Carolina. She returned to SC State in 2008 as a professor of Biological Sciences and University 101. In her past, she has taught Public Health, Community Health and African-American Health Issues. Dr. Wright is a Diamond Life member of the Alpha Xi chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated and a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) on SC State’s campus. Both of Wright’s grandmothers died from breast cancer. Her mother’s sister, Barbara A. Vaughn, in which the recital hall on South Carolina State University’s campus is named after, died from pancreatic cancer in 2001. Another one of her aunts, Ethel Wright, who served as a judge in St. Matthews, lost her battle to breast cancer in 2008. Dr. Wright was present when both her aunts passed on. Her mother and father have both battled with cancer; her father has overcome his prostate cancer while her mother is still battling the disease. “My family’s situation is really what made me want to continue with this organization and grow it to whatever level is possible,” said Wright When discussing how she came up with the idea for the Pink and Black Affair, she expressed that she wanted to do something different to support cancer. It was just a random idea that came to her one day while

she was sitting in her mother’s kitchen. “…my mother said, ‘Well what do you want to do?’ I said I want to have a fashion show. I just want it to be only women in the audience and only men walking in the show. So that was really all it was,” said Wright. She knows that the organization is and will continue to be beneficial to the community because she’s trying to raise money and funds where the money can stay in our community. She supports Relay for Life and Susan

G. Komen For the Cure; MAC also supports these organizations. She’s trying to create an organization where MAC is not only supporting cancer, but individuals, current and future, that may one day be diagnosed. They can have a set of resources to help them through their process and dealing with this horrific disease. “Our whole focus is cancer. Helping

students increase their community service hours and projects so it really is an endless way of helping the community and the students at the institution. The goal is to one day have MAC chapters at other colleges and universities around the world.” Dr. Wright says that the ultimate goal for MAC is to become a premiere organization that addresses cancer and for the Pink and Black Affair to become a traveling fashion show. “We’re looking into having a Cancer Benefit Concert in Orangeburg, SC for the year 2014. There are a lot of other projects that are on the table that we are still deciding on. I don’t think MAC has one particular ending point; it’s only what’s to come in the future.” This year the Pink and Black Affair fashion show will be held on Saturday Oct. 19 in the Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium on the campus of South Carolina State University,. Tickets are being sold by MAC representatives. Student tickets are $10 and general admission is $15. VIP tickets are $25 and include backstage access. Like their page on Facebook to stay updated.

An armed robbery happened Sunday, Oct. 6, 2013 off-campus around 10:30 p.m. on Chestnut St. near the Bojangles restaurant. A student at SC State was walking alone when the suspect approached him, showed a knife and proceeded to rob him. The subject took the victim’s identification card, keys, $3 and a pin number. SC State Campus Police released a picture of the suspect on Tuesday, Oct 8. The suspect is seen as a black male with a fairly light complexion, approximately five feet seven inches to five feet eight inches tall and he weighs between 140 to 150 pounds. He has a short haircut or a fade and was wearing glasses, blue jeans and a dark blue or black hooded sweatshirt. For those of you who think that something bad can’t happen to you because of who you are, what you look like or who you’re friends with, please think again. The things that can happen to you in a matter of seconds, especially at night are not to be taken lightly. The police department urges students to NEVER go anywhere by themselves.

Safety Tips:-Travel in groups

-Stay in well-lit areas-Don’t flash jewelry/cash or other valuables

I’m sure everyone has seen the front of Williams Hall and can see the difference from last semester to how it is now.

The Home Depot Retool Your School Program is responsible for the changes. South Carolina State University was one of a dozen HBCU’s selected for the Tier II Grant, which is valued at $10,000. Mr. Charles McCray, A s s i s t a n t R e s i d e n t Educator of Housing and Residence Life said that the main focus for this academic year was Williams Hall. “...they just wanted to bring it back to life,” said McCray. And they are doing just that. McCray said on the side of female-only dorm, there will be a walkway for the students to use to minimize excessive walking on the grass. Decisions have yet to be made regarding any changes to the other residence halls Other improvements include the gates by Mitchell Hall. The new gates were designed by the primary architect for SC State about eight years ago. He said that there has always been a need for the gates and he, personally, wanted more

security for the students and the campus as a whole. Another improvement that has not gone unnoticed is the Student Center. President of the Student Government Association (SGA), Akeem Brown, said that they are trying to make the Student Center look like a Student Center. By ordering new t e l e v i s i o n s and new pool tables, the idea to create an arcade atmosphere, complete with the latest game systems and neon lights, is being executed. New i n t e r n e t -a c c e s s i b l e computers are being added along with a p r o j e c t i o n screen to watch movies. Couches and tables are also being bought to create a place where students can relax and have a good time. Brown said that the money came from fundraisers but the majority of the funds came from a donor that wishes to remain anonymous. SGA is aiming for the improvements to be completed within the next three to four weeks.

Closet Essential:

The Little Black Dress

Deborah Bridgeford, Contributing Writer

Black means power and control as well as mysterious; black is a color that everyone should have in their closet. In 1926 Coco Chanel invented the ‘little black dress’ for women to incorporate their own individ-ual style no matter the occasion. During the Great Depression and World War II the little black dress became very popular for women encountering the work-force. Today, this garment still holds that significance. The little black dress is a dress that isn’t too expensive, is versa-tile and essential. Every woman should own a black dress that de-fines their elegance. Depending on the event you plan to attend will determine how to assimilate jewelry, blazers or a certain shoe. For example, if it is a busi-ness convention the dress could be worn with a simple blazer and a kitten heel/pump. A cocktail party/club scene you may want jewelry that stands out, a little more skin showing or maybe a stiletto heel; it all depends on your taste in style. Certain accessories that could be added to your garment may include a blazer/jacket, evening gloves/ hats possibly, tights/stockings, purse/handbag/clutch and shoes and jewelry of course. However you decide to wear the dress, make sure it screams you in every way. Be you!

October is a month filled with awareness causes (Adopt a Shelter Dog, Book

Month, etc.) but since 1981 October has been officially recognized and observed as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. “It’s inexcusable,” said South Carolina A t t o r n e y General Alan Wilson in a recent statement to The State n e w s p a p e r . “We can’t do enough to fight this. By the way, these aren’t just numbers. These are people. They had families.” In a month dominated by breast cancer awareness, the not-so-silent epidemic crippling out society is domestic violence. In the past several years South Carolina’s rate of domestic violence ranking has been increasing. In 2010 South Carolina was ranked ninth but increased to seventh in 2011. Most recently, South Carolina has remained in first place in the nation for the rate of men killing women. Statistically, women are more likely to be killed by a man they know (ex-boyfriend, boyfriend, husband or ex-husband). Approximately one in four women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. And every year, more than three million children witness domestic violence in their homes. “We’ve all got to take responsibility for the numbers,” said Wilson. In South Carolina in 2012 there 48 domestic violence homicide victims; 39 of which were women and nine were men. Of these victims, the majority were white (fifty-four percent) and followed closely by African Americans with (forty-four percent). The remaining two percent were Asian. In the Report on Domestic Violence Homicide Victims from 2012, twenty-four of South Carolina’s forty-six counties reported domestic homicides. Richland county reported the most homicides with

six deaths followed closely by Lexington and Orangeburg, each with five homicides. Greenville and Anderson counties rounded out the top five counties with three deaths each. All of the victims in Orangeburg were women. Three were killed by gun. In

sixty percent of South C a r o l i n a ’ s r e p o r t e d d o m e s t i c v i o l e n c e h o m i c i d e s a gunshot wound was listed as the p r i m a r y cause of death followed by knife wounds with nineteen

percent. The average age of

victims in Orangeburg was 29. “If we don’t hold them accountable, we’re telling victims their abuse isn’t important and we’re also telling perpetrators that it’s OK,” said Rebecca Williams-Agee, from the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, in a statement to The State newspaper. In an effort to bring more attention to domestic violence CASA/Family Systems hosted a Domestic Violence Awareness event in the Bulldog Lounge in the K.W. Green Student Center

on the campus of South Carolina State University on Oct. 7 Alexis Guinyard is a graduate of SC State and works as a Community Advocate and Community Educator with CASA/Family

Systems. Guinyard spoke out about the need for more domestic violence awareness during the event. “It happens every day, every minute, every second,” said Guinyard. “People are scared to talk to others about their problems.”

During the educational event members of the Beta Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. “stepped against violence.” The purpose of the event was simply to give more knowledge about domestic violence. “You don’t want to wait until it’s too late to reach out and seek help,” said Guinyard.

Since Grand Theft Auto’s release in 1997, the series has been one of the

most praised games of all time. Each game is located in fictional cities, modeled after popular American cities where the player chooses missions to create a story or leave their m a r k .

The subject of the games is usually a comedic satire of American culture, but the series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. Other than the great and realistic gaming adventure that GTA never fails to provide, it is also known for its custom radio stations that make

riding around the city even more realistic. In the previous release, GTA IV that takes place in Liberty City-which takes the place of our New York City, there is a Hot 97-like station with voiceovers from DJ’s Mister Cee and

Funkmaster Flex. Although GTA hosts v a r i o u s genres of s t a t i o n s , it is very H i p - H o p o r i e n t e d . The newest g a m e f e a t u r e s new music and classics i n c lu d i ng tracks from

You MatterMonet Heyward

Baptist Collegiate Ministry

As I sat and listened to the message in church today, the one point that the pastor wanted everyone to grasp was the fact that ‘we matter.’ While listening, I began to think of those moments in my life when I felt like I didn’t matter, or even existed, to anyone! During those weak moments in my life I had forgotten that I mattered to God. I love how Psalms 139:13-16 reminds me of how much my Father loves me. It says:

How crazy is it that?! The God of the universe loves me so much that He took the time to create every intricate part of my body, and put into motion every detail of my life!! My prayer, as we all walk through life on campus, is for you to know, and remember, that YOU matter!! Even if it appears as if people don’t want to have anything to do with you, or things might not be going the way you think they should, know that you still matter to God. You are His workmanship, creatively and uniquely designed!!

13 For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully

made; your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.15 My frame was not hidden

from you when I was made in the secret

place, when I was woven together in

the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my unformed

body; all the days ordained for me

were written in your book before one of them came to be.

It’s the beginning of October and the Fall is coming. Libra strongly

represents the beginning of Fall because it is the time of finding a partner before the cold from the winter comes. Libra people experience their time of birth between Sept. 23 to Oct. 22; after that the time of Scorpio starts. The element associated with Libra is Air and that means reaching higher, specifically to the higher mind. Libras like to put their mind to good use and enjoy communicat ing their thoughts to others. They like to use their smarts (and talk) to get to know others better -- yes, knowledge about people is where it’s at for Libras. You can expect the scales to make a fair argument, too, since they live

by the principles of diplomacy and compromise. When this approach does not work, however, Libra’s are not above using their persuasive charms

to get their way. M a n i p u l a t i v e ? Nah, Libras really are too nice for that. Plus, any end-runs that these folks use are usually to build themselves up, since the Scales can be easily deterred. Libra’s are polite and don’t like to fight, far preferring to talk things through. Remember, these folks know how to communicate (they’re Air) so they’re bound to make their point. Libra’s don’t get

in a huff when faced with an opposing viewpoint. Rather, they take a deep breath and consider all the options in the spirit of cooperation.

5The Collegian • • Wednesday, October 16, 2013Art &EntertainmentJust when you’re ready to dismiss Hip-Hop as a genre

polluted with shallow club songs lacking substance, J. Cole comes along and reminds us all what true lyricism and depth sounds like; providing listeners with a musically spiritual experience. From the first seconds of “Villuminati” to the last moments of “Sparks Will Fly,” J. Cole leads listeners through a lyrical journey wrought with honesty, humor and pain. In the same manner that his words drip with anguish on one song, they bolster with pride and understanding on the next. “Born Sinner” finds Cole battling internally to remain true to himself while also trying to meet the demands of his burgeoning career. The results of this battle are songs that expose his innermost thoughts and feelings. In smooth, head-bobbing music, J. Cole expresses himself with a lyrical clarity currently lacking in the Hip-Hop industry. Unafraid to address even the most controversial topics, Cole tackles these subjects with an apparent ease comparable to more seasoned and legendary artists. On the first track, much like the rest of the tracks on the album, Cole lightheartedly intones that, “sometimes I brag like Hov.” In the same song Cole broaches the homophobia often associated with Hip-Hop in a way to cause people to be uncomfortable in an effort to spark conversation. But even in the song he follows the controversial bars with a call for pause meant to push the listener to recognize homophobic thoughts. Cole also establishes right off the bat that he is not oblivious to all the talk associating him with the Illuminati. In response to all the allegations Cole responds:

These next three bars is dedicated to the retardsKeep on asking me about the IlluminatiIs you stupid n****Young Black millionaireOld White billionairesI’m sure that they can do without me[Verse 3, “Villuminati,” J. Cole]

He dismisses all of the rumors in true J. Cole style by pointing out how ridiculous the claims are. But he doesn’t stop there. Drawing from a common theme of referring to his background as a college student, Cole references that part of his life saying:

And I ain’t really into sacrificing human bodiesCouple more A’s I would have been a Summa Cumma Laude[Verse 3, “Villuminati,” J. Cole]

Each track on this album offers itself to conversation and repeated listening. Cole infuses each bar with references to his past, both successes and failures, as well as drawing on history, politics and pop culture. Lyrical life lessons flow over beats to sculpt a musically appetizing event. “Born Sinner” sets itself apart from other albums in striking precision as J. Cole offers a social commentary on the state of affairs in the black community and the country as a whole without becoming patronizing. At the same time, he poses difficult questions for the listener to answer for themselves.

Singing along to “Rich N*****” you’ll find that the lyrics, heavy laden with bitterness, jealousy and anguish(“I hate rich n*****, godd****t. Cause I ain’t never had a lot

d****t”), taste familiar. Through the eyes of someone without riches at their disposal, Cole’s words paint a world view familiar to the masses as he raps “here’s a song you can sing along with when you down on some let you know you ain’t alone s***.” But one of the most irreverent tracks on this album has to be “Let Nas Down.” Upon hearing about Nas’ diapproval with his departure from lyricism in his radio hit “Workout,” Cole took it to heart and later penned this phenomenal track that has been described as “haunting” by Nas. In the track he begins by sampling his hero (Nas) and even comparing Pac to Jesus and Nas as the [Hip-Hop] Bible’s writer but calling the story to follow a “tale of glory and sin.” With eye-opening honesty he details his journey, in what he has described as a dark period in his life, and how he believes he let Nas down. The

song offers fans a more in-depth look into Cole’s world as he describes once again Nas’ impact on him, lending understanding to his hurt and disgust with himself for his more commercial music, while also discussing his feelings of current rap.

I always believed in the bigger pictureIf I could get them n****s to listen outside my core then I can open a doorReintroduce ‘em to honesty, show ‘em that they need moreThe difference between the pretenders and the Kendrick Lamars[Verse 3, “Let Nas Down,” J. Cole]

The song has brought much earned attention to J. Cole, including a lyrical response from Nas (“Made Nas Proud”) in which he samples the beginning of the song before going on to tell Cole that he in fact made him proud. He also offered wisdom to the young rapper before passing him [Cole] his crown. Singularly, the tracks featured on “Born Sinner” can stand on their own as the answer to calls for more depth in music. But together they are more than the sum

of their parts. Each song and collaboration is a carefully constructed deliberate action exhibiting Cole’s growing mastery of his craft. The album features collaborations with Miguel, Amber Coffman, Kendrick Lamar, TLC and James Fauntleroy singing the hook on the title track, “Born Sinner.” In the deluxe version of the album, the “Truly Yours 3” mixtape is included which features four tracks and collaborations with 50 Cent, Bas and Jhene Aiko. In an age of soulless commercial “music” dominating the airwaves, J. Cole has managed to create an album that calls on truth with each lyric and redeems the art of Hip-Hop for a new generation. With this album, Cole has once again proven to the masses that he is the future of Hip-Hop we have been waiting for; he is hope.

I put my soul in these verses. Born sinner, was never born to be perfect. [Verse 1, “Born Sinner,” J. Cole]

Emmy Awards Review

Ricky Fields, Contributing Writer

The 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards premiered Sunday night on Oct. 2, 2013 on CBS with host Neil Patrick Harris from “How I Met Your Mother.” This year’s Emmy’s was surely a celebration for the night’s big winner, “Breaking Bad.” The AMC drama took home the award for Outstanding Dra-ma Series. Another big winner of the night was “Modern Family,” who took home the award of Outstanding Com-edy Series. Some notable individuals who re-ceived awards as well were returning winner Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” who won for Lead Actor in a Comedy and Julia Louis Dreyfus who won Lead Actress in a Comedy for “Veep.” Fall’s much anticipated Drama, “Homeland,” also had a win courtesy of Claire Danes for Lead Actress in a Drama Series. However, many believe some of the wins were a bit overlooked because of the speeches that accompanied them. This being the case for Merritt Wever, who, when she won Outstanding Sup-porting Actress for “Nurse Jackie” said, “thank you so much! Thank you so much! I gotta go, Bye!” What some would call a short, sweet and brilliant speech. The Emmy’s also paid tribute to recently fallen stars, such as “Glee” star Cory Monteith and “The Sopra-nos’,” James Gandolfini. The segments in between the awards were used for tributes, as well as historical facts in relation to the importance of television and the affect it has had on our lives. The 2013 Emmy’s kicked of the fall season and surely got many excited for what’s to come this year in television.

Sept. 18th, just another day to the world except for iPhone users; Apple released its iOS 7 software updates

to not only previous devices, but the new iPhone 5c and 5s. The new iOS 7 includes all new design. Other than the new transparent look, and new features, deep down iOS 7 has a lot more to offer that the average user will not recognize. The iOS 7 has introduced many features Android lovers would say their phone has had since day one, but as Tim Cook would state his rebuttal in a Business Week interview, “the incompatibilities between various Android versions make each an entirely different species.” The Android operating systems are “not the latest ones by the time people buy,” said Cook. A recent survey of smartphones sold by AT&T showed 25 Android handsets; six did not have the latest operating system. “And so by the time they exit, they’re using an operating system that’s three or four years old. That would be like me right now having in my pocket iOS 3. I can’t imagine it,” said Cook. The iOS 7 is full of sophistication and innovation that keeps Apple devices secure, while giving the user new features to better personalize their device. The iOS 7 includes a block list, to prevent your device from constant ringing from annoying people or bill collectors, a control center that is integrated with common features including: a flashlight, quick shortcuts to the calculator and your alarm functions and a more secure version of file sharing known as airdrop. Apple’s iOS 7’s main security feature includes find my iPhone which, unlike previous iOS versions, requires a password to remove or deactivate the

service from the device. Meanwhile, this prevents a thief from hard resetting your device and reselling it. This new feature should prevent thieves from Apple Jacking; let’s

see if Android catches up to that! Apple’s iOS 7 has been praised for its all new design, but many users are complaining of decreased battery life and standby times.

Nine Tips on keeping your Apple Juiced:

1. Turn Off Parallax a. To turn it off, go to Settings, General, then Access ibi l i ty, then Reduce Motion. Turn Reduce Motion on to stop the parallax effect.

2. Turn Down Your brightness a. This can

be done in your new control center, a lower brightness level, increases your battery life.

3. Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi a. Unless you’re on Wi-Fi twenty-four hours, turn off your Wi-Fi. If you aren’t wearing your Bluetooth around campus all day, turn that off as well.

4. Disable Auto Downloads a. To stop this and just update your apps and music manually, go to Settings, iTunes & App Store, and scroll to Automatic Downloads. There you can turn Automatic Downloads off for music, apps and books.

5. Turn off frequent locations a. To disable it go to Settings, Privacy, and then Location Services. There, scroll all the way to the bottom and hit System Services. There you can also turn off Location Based iAds (ads from Apple

based on your frequent locations). Then go to Frequent Locations and turn that off, too.

Lee Daniels: The Butler is an untold story for the ages with the star power of Oprah W i n f r e y , F o r e s t Whit a ker, Te r r a n c e H o w a r d and many

others, this makes for a great movie with plenty of entertaining dynamics. Along with the amazing cast, the trailers and the historical significance behind the film; there was much antici-pated hype for the film. This was truly the reception that the movie deserved, because it didn’t disappoint one bit. The film tells the story of Cecil Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker, and his story of being the head butler for the White House during some very significant eras in American history. It tells his personal story, his struggle to balance family and life all while handling this exceptional job during a very difficult time. The amazing thing about this movie is that it really captures your attention and although the story is of a simple concept, it’s so much deeper than what is on the surface. This movie will really touch the hearts of African Americans and I’m sure many other races will feel the pow-er and the strength of the story as well. It shows the true struggle of a race and the people who have gone unrecognized throughout history. Cecil Gaines; who is loosely based on the actual head butler of the White House for 34 years, Eugene Allen, saw many eras of this country come to the forefront. It is interesting to see that perspective of history. It shows how someone ordinary can still be very much a part of something extraordinary. It did not take much for me to give this film five out of five stars. From begin-ning to end it had me, and those around me, emotionally involved and intrigued by the story. The end also had the audi-ence in tears as well; as if they lived the story with the Gaines family. This mov-ie is surely one to watch for one, if not many, Oscar nominations this season.

The South Carolina State University Lady Bulldogs Soccer Team is led by Head Coach Sandy Burris who

is in her first season as the head women’s soccer coach and fifth overall at SC State. Prior to her current role, she served the past five seasons as an assistant coach with the Bulldog women’s soccer program. Burris joined the SC State staff after serving two seasons (2006-2007) as an assistant coach at Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, North Carolina. As an assistant at Belmont Abbey, Burris helped the Crusaders compile a 34-8-2 record, a conference regular season title and a tournament championship. The Lady Bulldogs Soccer Team Assistant Head Coach is Jackie DeNova. Jackie DeNova is in her first season as an assistant coach with the SC State women’s soccer program. She joins the Lady Bulldogs after serving as an assistant at Coker College the past two seasons.

The Bulldogs stepped back on the gridiron five days after their Classic win in yet another road game against the North Carolina Central Eagles in dominating fashion. Right from the beginning the Bulldogs’ redshirt senior quarterback Richard Cue struck first with a 36-yard pass to redshirt junior wide receiver Dennis Rowe for the first touchdown of the game at the Eagles’ O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. Redshirt senior kicker Nick Belcher scored the extra point putting the Bulldogs up seven to nothing with eight minutes left in the first quarter. During the same quarter Belcher would score again on a 29-yard field goal with 6:18 left in the quarter. Freshman running back Xavier Quick would also score during the first quarter off a two yard run followed by a successful kick by Belcher with 1:28 left on the clock. The Bulldogs ended the first quarter up 17-0. With 11:04 left on the clock Belcher opened the second quarter scoring off a 26-yard field goal. The kick put SC State up 20-0 over NC Central. The field goal was once again followed by a nine yard scoring run by redshirt freshman running back Justin Taylor. After a successful kick by Belcher the Bulldogs were up 27-0 with 8:39 left in the quarter. Just when it seemed like the Bulldogs had a shutout on their hands the Eagles finally scored. Junior kicker Oleg Parent scored NC Central’s only points of the game with a 46-yard field goal with 3:10 left in the second quarter. SC State

would answer Parent’s field goal with another two yard scoring run by Quick and a kick by Belcher bringing the score to 34-3. Coming back from halftime the Bulldogs would score two more times. The first scoring drive ended with a 40-yard field goal kick by Belcher putting them up 37-3. The final touchdown of the game was scored by sophomore running back Dondre Lewis-Freeman on a one yard run. Belcher’s kick added the final point to the scoreboard giving SC State a 41 point difference in the 44-3 win. The fourth quarter was scoreless for both teams. Cue led the Bulldogs passing for 191 yards with 18-27 completions. Rushing for 75-yards from 17 carries Taylor led SC State in rushing. And leading the team in receiving was Rowe with two receptions, one of which earned the first touchdown of the game, for a total of 75 yards. NC Central’s redshirt senior quarterback Jordan Reid completed nine of his 25 passing attempts for a total of 116 yards. The ground attack was less than stellar as they were led by redshirt sophomore running back Idreis Augustus with nine carries for only five yards. And with only one reception, redshirt freshman running back Shaheed Swinson led the team in receiving with 50 yards from his singular reception. The Bulldogs will return to action in Daytona Beach, Fla. when they face the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats on Oct. 26.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR COUNTRY

When people hear “Government Shutdown” they automatically picture an empty White House filled with plants with a zombie apocalypse heading our way. That’s all Hollywood! When we get our paycheck we go ahead and purchase what we want/need, pay bills, save a little, etc. Well it works different when you’re running the government of the United States. Which is one of the best ran governments and richest in the world, might I add. The United States government cannot function without a budget approved by Congress (which is the house and the senate) and the President. Without a budget in place different federal organizations do not know how to proceed with paying their employees or what to do day to day without an operating budget. When the House and Senate disagree on the budget, we have a government shutdown. This means that all non-essential parts of the government are closed until a budget is agreed upon. Non-Essential parts of the government is considered places like National Parks, Museums, Center for Disease Control, Food and Drug Administration and other agencies are non-essential. Even some military pay is considered non-essential. With those so-called “non-essential“ functions of the government , like controlling the spread of disease (CDC) or allowing workers to maintain and uphold the laws of regulating the food Americans eat. Other essential parts of the government must continue, such as the CIA’s budget, protecting America and its interest abroad, as well as the congressional gym inside the capital which is still fully active with the exception of the towel services being slashed. More essential parts of our government include paying the president and congress, who currently are acting like kindergarteners arguing over each other’s opinion. The Republicans won’t restore funding to the government if it includes funding for Obamacare [The Affordable Health Care Act]. The Democrats are telling Republicans that we will not negotiate on the funding of the (Obamacare) Affordable Health Care Act, which is the law. In the ongoing battle between the House Republicans and the Democratic Senate the two have agreed on smaller funding for miscellaneous parts of the government, including funding for retired military and deceased military families. The government shutdown has showed Americans, especially our generation, the importance of not just voting for the president of the United States, but the importance of voting for all of the representatives on the ballot. Wether Democratic or Republican , listen to the voice of all the people in which we have choices to vote into our government.

Washington, DC

If you thought the last you would hear of Hillary Clinton running for

president was her resignation in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, does she have a surprise. Hillary Clinton acknowledged that she was “wrestling” with the idea of running for president in the 2016 election recently, replying with “I do” after being asked specifically whether or not she still considers the idea. “But I’m both a pragmatist and realistic” says Clinton.“I think I have a pretty good idea of the political and governmental challenges that are facing our leaders and I’ll do whatever I can from whatever position I find myself in to advocate for the values and the policies I think are right for the country. I will just continue to weigh what the factors are that would influence me making a decision one way or another.” Mrs. Clinton certainly has time to sit on the decision. The next presidential election is three years off and an announcement for her Democratic and presidential candidacy is not to be expected for at least a year. Clinton is considered a prime contender for the Democratic nomination. The list of potential contenders includes Vice President Joe Biden, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley. A CNN/ORC poll earlier this month showed that 65 percent of Democrats and people who lean that way favored Mrs. Clinton for the party nomination. Joe Biden was second at 10 percent. Since stepping down from her position as Secretary of State in February 2013, rumors of another run at presidency have been less than unnoticed and Clinton’s activities as of late do indeed point to building up for another run at the election. She’s been traveling constantly for speeches, both paid and free. She spoke out in support of a military strike

in Syria. She’s reaching out to candidates in the New York City mayoral race and is hosting two fundraisers for friend Terry McAuliffe in his Virginia gubernatorial race. She has started granting media interviews. Some sources close to the Clinton family have noted an internal change as well, claiming that many decisions about her schedule and profile are being made around the idea that she could be running in 2016. Clinton reflected on her four years serving in Obama’s cabinet following his

overtaking her to be the Democratic p r e s i d e n t i a l candidate in 2008. “I’ve had a unique, close and personal front-row seat,” she said. “And I think these last four years have certainly deepened and broadened my understanding of the challenges and the opportunities that we face in the world today.” If Clinton does decide to run, it would be interesting to see her new approach

after a 2008 Democratic campaign against current president Barack Obama that many would criticize for its direction, organization and execution. Ed Rendell, the former Democratic Pennsylvania governor and one of Mrs. Clinton’s strongest supporters, said she should “really start from scratch” in building a new campaign team.“It has to be different,” Rendell said. “Hillary got terrible advice: terrible advice about raising money and terrible advice about spending money and terrible political advice.”Husband and former president Bill Clinton said in a separate interview earlier this month that any decision by his wife is “a long way ahead. I think she would be the first to tell you that there is no such thing as a done deal, ever, by anybody. But I don’t know what she’s going to do.”

Naval Yard Shooting AftermathAngela Stroman, Interim Managing Editor

Monday, September 16, 2013, former Navy reservist Aaron Alexis, opened fire on a secure military facility in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Police officers who swarmed the facility exchanged fire with Alexis, which resulted in him being gunned down and eventually killed. A dozen people were killed and several others, including a city police officer, were wounded and taken to local hospitals. All of the victims were believed to be civilians or contractors; no active duty military personnel were killed according to Chief Cathy L. Lanier of Washington. The police in Seattle, where Alexis once lived, said that they had arrested him in 2004 for shooting the tires of another man’s vehicle in what Alexis later described to detectives as an anger-fueled “blackout.” A senior Navy officer told CNN that Navy officials knew about Alexis’ 2004 arrest for shooting out the tires of a car, but they decided to grant him security clearance anyway in 2007. President Obama eulogized the victims on Sunday, September 22. “It ought to be a shock to all of us, as a nation and a people,” the President said. “It ought to obsess us. It ought to lead to some sort of transformation.”

In his remarks to about 4,000 people, Mr. Obama called the Navy Yard shooting “unique,” and he remembered each of the victims by name, offering small memories from family members and friends of those who died. Before the ceremony, Mr. Obama and the first lady, Michelle Obama, met privately with family members of the victims.

The United States Navy Band played somber music as the guests quietly filed in ahead of the speakers, who included Vice Administrator William Hilarides, the commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, where the shootings took place. Also speaking were Vincent Gray, the Mayor of Washington; Administrator Jonathan Greenert, the Chief of Naval Operations; Ray Mabus, the Secretary of the Navy; and Chuck Hagel, the Secretary of Defense.

Mr. Gray echoed Mr. Obama’s frustration with the refusal to pass new gun laws, saying that “this time it happened within the view of our Capitol dome and I, for one, will not be silent about the fact that the time has come for action.” Mr. Hagel declared that “together, we will recover.” The memorial wound down with a reading of the names of the 12 victims and then a long, sad rendition of Taps.

Shooter Aaron Alexis killed eleven people and injured eight others before being killed.
