New AC to come for Student Success Building... in 2015

“We were confident at the end of last season that we had the heating system well in line.”

— John Thompson, facilities manager

By Mary Kate Newton

A fully functional cooling system in the Student Success Building enters its second year.

As the MSU Denver Facilities Planning team seeks a system to keep temperatures comfortable, copy machines jam from humidity-crinkled paper, and HR complaints continue to flood in, citing respira-tory concerns.

Sean Nesbitt, director of facili-ties planning, recognizes that the SSB has taken an extraordinary amount of time to correct is-sues with its heating and cooling system, though new buildings do typically experience such issues.

According to facilities manager John Thompson, an evaporative cooling system was initially chosen “because of a commitment to sus-tainability.”

Thompson said, “To draw a comparison to residential build-ings: houses with an A.C. are cooler. Swamp coolers are going to have more moisture, but more efficiency.”

“This is the first building on this campus to have this kind of cooling system. Part of it was just a learning curve,” Nesbitt said.

“I would have loved to have this figured out a year ago.”

Nesbitt compared the seasonal-ity of installing a new air condi-tioning system to buying new skis. “If you get them in May, you can’t be sure they’re going to work until it snows again.”

RMH, the engineering firm MSU Denver originally partnered with, didn’t realize the mechanical and operational problems with the system.

“They didn’t realize the kind of agony my office had been in with the comfort level issues,” Nesbitt said. “That’s when they jumped in and helped us really under-stand the system. That took twelve months.”

When it became clear the evaporative cooling system in the SSB was not enough, the team de-cided to investigate a supplemental system, but it was too late in the season to isolate and correct the problems within the existing one.

Now the team finds itself with a familiar deadline, as the beginning of the heating season nears again.

On Aug. 11, the team in-terviewed engineering firms to execute a supplementary system, and decided on Schaffer Baucom Engineering & Consulting.

Nesbitt said Schaffer Baucom

hopes to have the initial studies completed by the end of December, and the cooling system in effect by July 2015. Until then, on a daily basis, Thompson continues to per-form spot checks for humidity and temperature.

“You can see John just about every day with a thermometer in hand walking the halls. He’ll

come across cubicles right next to each other, one person with a fan and the other with a space heater,” Nesbitt said.

Thompson and Nesbitt said they won’t be able to make everyone happy all the time, but ultimately they want to find a system that will keep the build-ing’s humidity at about 65 percent,

as opposed to the spikes seen this summer of up to 80 percent.

But Nesbitt identified what students and faculty can seek com-fort in during upcoming months: “Snow.”

“We were confident at the end of last season that we had the heat-ing system well in line,” Thompson said.

Dee Funkhouser, manager of training and outreach at the Colo-rado Department of Labor and Employment, presented Metro-politan State University of Denver alumni with labor market informa-tion for Colorado job seekers Aug. 27.

Her presentation was intended to assist alumni in developing last-ing and fulfilling careers. About half of the 24 who registered at-tended the event.

Funkhouser gave attendees a variety of data and statistics relat-ing to Colorado’s labor market. Some alumni received Funk-houser’s presentation with great enthusiasm.

“Overall it has been a huge benefit,” said Gary Thompson, an MSU Denver alumnus who gradu-ated with a degree in psychology

in 2005. “I’ve got new skills and tools that I would never have had before,” he said. “Had I just stayed at home tonight then I would be a step behind everybody that at-tended.”

Most of the diverse group of attendees presented themselves

casually and some dressed in business casual attire. Attendees participated by asking questions and sharing their points of view.

Funkhouser has worked for the department of labor for eight years. She performs about 40 presentations annually throughout

Colorado.Her presentation included

information on industry employ-ment, occupation employment, wages, and unemployment rates, plus current and future demand for workers.

Some of the major trends she noted included an increase in min-ing industry jobs and a decrease in federal government jobs.

“I make labor market informa-tion usable to the general public,” Funkhouser said.

MSU Denver Career Services provides students and alumni with many opportunities to start, change and further their careers.

“As part of the alumni career services at Metro State, alumni are eligible for two free career coach-ing sessions per year,” said Donna Lynch, a career counselor at the Office of Alumni Relations. “They have three career fairs per year. One of them coming in October, which is available for undergrad

students as well.” Lynch has been working at

MSU Denver since April of this year. She has 20 years of experi-ence in career counseling and was previously employed at University of Colorado at Boulder Alumni Career Services.

Funkhouser had previously observed Lynch in action at UC Boulder when the two arranged a similar presentation for UC Boul-der Alumni in 2012.

“I like her and she’s a really good career counselor,” Funk-houser said.

Students and alumni can learn more by speaking with a coun-selor at the MSU Denver Career Services Office or at the Office of Alumni Relations; by contacting the department of labor or visiting colmigateway.com.

Lynch also recommends that MSU Denver alumni join the MSU Denver Alumni group on Linked-In.

When talking about citizens who carry concealed weapons, teachers are rarely the first group that comes to mind.

Marc Rabinoff, MSU Denver Professor Emeritus of human performance and sport, aims to change that with safety and exten-sive training.

“I spent my lifetime teaching human performance and sport, training people to move through space efficiently, effectively and safely,” Rabinoff said. “I train with handguns the exact same way, from a very science-based, research-based approach, so I can do it efficiently, effectively and safely.”

Rabinoff retired in 2012 after teaching for 42 years.

“Actually, a hundred semesters in a row I taught full-time, so I know a lot about classrooms and campuses. Probably more than most,” he said. “(Safety) was num-ber one in my teaching, it’s number

one in my life, it’s certainly num-ber one in my firearms hobby.”

Now, he’s working with the Centennial Gun Club to provide a free concealed carry course to teachers in the Denver metro area. The course usually costs $125. Rabinoff hopes those teachers will work with their schools to do more than just take one class.

While it is illegal to carry fire-arms of any kind on a K-12 campus in this state, Colorado Revised Statutes 18-12-214 2(b) makes an exception: “A permittee who is em-ployed or retained by contract by a school district as a school secu-rity officer may carry a concealed handgun onto the real property, or into any improvement erected thereon, of a public elementary, middle, junior high, or high school while the permittee is on duty.”

Teachers, Rabinoff said, can be designated as security guards as well. But safety and training are key.

“When I say ‘teachers should be allowed to carry guns at

schools,’ I don’t mean just go take a ten-hour concealed carry class and then carry guns to school.Th at’s the fi rst step. Th e second step is training on a regular basis,” Rabinoff said.

He’s taken between 60 and 70 hours of formal training, includ-ing training in use of force (when to shoot and when not to shoot), and shoots weekly at the gun club’s range to keep his skills sharp. He proposes teachers who want to carry fi rearms should demonstrate the same dedication to safety and training.

“Education and training is critical. I know you can walk in, pass a background check, buy a gun, get one box of ammo, take it home and never shoot,” Rabinoff said. “And maybe we should look at changing that.”

He added that there’s a danger in letting skills stagnate. “If they never trained with that gun, I’m not sure they’ll be lucky enough to hit what they want to hit.”

Auraria Chief of Police Michael Phibbs highlighted a few other issues with establishing a fi rearms program in a workplace, though he stressed “as the chief of police, I do not set policy for the campus, I have not been asked by campus administration to off er advice to

them on this topic, and the police department will always enforce campus policy and state law when it comes to second amendment issues.”

In addition to training on the physical skills required to shoot well, Phibbs said anyone establish-ing a fi rearms program will want to consider training on liability issues and the use of force.

“It’s serious business,” Phibbs said. “It takes a lot of conscious ef-fort to make sure you put together a good program to ensure that if fi rearms are used in the line of duty that it’s done as safely as possible for people who are not presenting a threat and that we identify the threat correctly.”

Rabinoff said he hopes the free class will take some of the fi nan-cial burden off of teachers, and encourage them to seek out more training. In the end, he felt simply having a few teachers able to carry concealed weapons is a deterrent to school shootings.

“I’m a warnings guy,” Rabi-noff said. “I believe that if you put a warning on the door of every school that says ‘notice: we have trained concealed carry staff who will use lethal force if you carry a weapon onto this campus,’ and you put that on the door, and have two to three teachers who have been highly trained, train weekly,

and are approved by local law enforcement and the school board, someone who has taken on the extra responsibility of protecting our children, you’re now telling

(a potential school shooter), ‘even if you get past the police, we have people in here who will shoot you dead.’

“I strongly believe that’s a de-

terrent. I see it in sports, where you have warning signs that say ‘do not dive here; you will die.’ ‘Don’t use equipment this way; you will break your neck.’ It works.”

� ose all-night study sessions may be doing more harm than good.

Millions of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the American Psychological Associa-tion’s website. College students may be at the top of the list.

“Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest problems for college students,” said Janice Shire, a clini-cal nurse specialist at the Health Center at Auraria and University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

“� ey are the most sleep de-prived people in our country, and America is the most sleep deprived population in the world.”

Shire is a co-founder of the

sleep clinic at Anschutz and she provides cognitive behavioral treatment for insomnia. “I trouble-shoot sleep,” Shire said.

She said a recent study of 1,125 college students found that 70 per-cent of students receive less than the eight recommended hours of sleep. And, Shire said, those 17 to 24 need nine hours of sleep nightly, though people more than 24 years old may need less.

“Most students have at least one all-nighter a month,” Shire said. “Inadequate sleep decreases the brain’s ability to learn and memorize information as well as how to do physical tasks.” Students may pass a test a� er cramming all night, but they are less likely to retain the information.

“� e quality of a person’s sleep is very much related to their aca-demic performance,” she said.

� e Auraria Campus has its share of sleep deprived students. MSU Denver freshman vocal ma-jor Connine Sauls said she never

gets enough sleep. “I just feel like there aren’t

enough hours in the day. When you don’t get enough sleep, you

can’t really do your work to your fullest potential, so then things fall behind, and then you fall behind,” Sauls said. “You have to choose - should I do my work, or should I go to sleep? And, no matter which one you choose, you lose.”

A general lack of well-being, ir-ritability, depression and increased accidents can be other results of sleep deprivation, Shire said.

Sleep deprivation can put people at risk of serious medical conditions, too.

A fact sheet from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine states that sleep deprivation can increase risk for medical conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.

Studies have explored alcohol consumption and late night use of computers and other electronic devices as possible causes for sleep deprivation, Shire said. But, those studies indicated that stress and worry have more impact on sleep quality than alcohol intake or late night electronic usage — in other words, the stress of school itself is the problem.

“I think our society puts pres-sure on us all,” Shire said. “You know — work hard and not sleep as much.”

And, Shire said, there is a link between depression and sleep deprivation, though it’s not clear

if one causes the other. � ere is some concern that when students

experience a failure, such as having to drop a class due to lack of sleep, it could have a lasting impact.

� e number one thing students can do to avoid sleep deprivation is to make time for sleep, Shire said.

Number two is to incorporate stress busters, because stress is the cause of many people experiencing sleeplessness. � ese may include exercising, going out with friends and doing things you love to do.

Establishing a regular time to go to bed and sticking with it is also part of good sleep hygiene, she said.

And, Shire said, energy drinks and stimulants can be part of a vicious cycle, because they a� ect the body for hours. It’s best to avoid them for seven or eight hours before bedtime, she said.

“It’s hard to tell students that they need to get more balance,” Shire said, “because their brain is telling them, ‘no, I need to study all

the time.’”� ere are other things that can

help, but studies show the most important thing is to start making more time for sleep, Shire said, with the understanding that stu-dents’ performance will improve.

Some Auraria students, like Kim Nguyen, an MSU Denver industrial design sophomore, do get enough sleep. Nguyen said she schedules her classes a� er 10 a.m., because she can focus better later in the day.

And, Nguyen puts Shire’s top suggestion for getting enough sleep into practice.

“I just try to go to bed before 12 each night, and I fall asleep pretty easily, so unless there’s some-thing really busy in my life at the moment, I usually make time for sleep,” Nguyen said. “I just try to manage my time during the day to get stu� done so that I can sleep.”

Catching more Z’s may lead to more A’s“� e quality of a person’s sleep is very much related to their academic performance.”

Become a millionaire for the a� ordable price of $2.

� at’s how much it costs to play the Colorado Lottery, and $2 is the most expensive game the lottery has to o� er.

Sure, the odds of winning a multimillion-dollar jackpot are just as low as the pots themselves are high — in the hundreds of millions. But for two paper George Washingtons, eight Washingtons on the coin, or however you want to dice it, it’s a cheap cost to never have to worry about money again.

Kiss those student loans good-bye.

Colorado Lottery o� ers numer-ous games, such as the Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto, Cash 5 and my personal favorite, the Pick 3.

� ere is also a plethera of scratch tickets for customers want-ing to get a hand on the games themselves.

NFL teams today put future prospects that declare for the dra� under the microscopes to examine their pasts for any red � ags.

� ese teams should make sure they know full well what they are investing in.

Yet, it appears that there are multiple cases every year of play-ers that are faced with suspen-sions, � nes and other disciplinary actions for domestic abuse and drug issues.

� is growing trend makes me begin to wonder just how closely teams look at players and their pasts to see if they would be able to catch on before anything were to happen.

Recently, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was

suspended for just two games for a domestic abuse conviction, and 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald was recently arrested on the same charge.

Earlier, Broncos kicker Matt Prater was suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

� at is what I don’t under-stand. Prater was suspended for a quarter of the season for drinking and Rice only an eighth of the sea-son for a possible felony charge.

� e NFL does everything in its power to stop players from abus-ing drugs, a prime example being Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, who was suspended the entire 2014 season a� er his third drug charge.

NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell recently stated that he messed up on the Rice suspension and created a harsher punishment system for all domestic abuse

that players will face—a six-game suspension for the � rst charge and a ban from the league for the second.

Instead of having to deal out harsh punishments, it could be brought to attention from the start —to make sure teams deal with the players before the NFL and look at who they are getting.

No one is exempt from the punishment that comes with com-mitting domestic abuse. Although the NFL did the right thing in realizing how serious the issue is becoming, it should have been made clear that domestic abuse is just as serious as drug abuse.

Good job, Goodell.You’re making the NFL all the

better.

As your mom probably told you, eating breakfast is highly important, even during those busy college years.

That morning meal can help you focus, maintain your energy, prevent overeating throughout the day and generally help kick-start the day.

September is National Break-fast Month — and while there is no government declaration about it, this is a time for groups to acknowledge the importance of eating in the morning, and to edu-cate people about the importance of breakfast. It’s also a great time to focus on what college students are eating, and how it affects their learning.

In addition to encouraging a healthy lifestyle, breakfast results in a learning advantage. Results from a 2006 study at Saint Mar-tin’s University suggested college students have better short-term memory retention after eating breakfast.

“Common sense tells us that people who have given their brain the carbohydrates it needs to func-tion, and are going to class well nourished, are going to be able to concentrate on their studies,” associate professor of MSU Den-ver’s nutrition program Cynthia Dormer said. “Students, who either

skipped breakfast or didn’t make the right choice for breakfast, can let that get in the way of focusing during classes.”

Given a choice between hitting the snooze button a couple of times or getting up in time to eat in the morning, most students will pull the blankets over their heads for just a few extra minutes of sleep.

“It is a little bit controversial, because the data is not completely clear about breakfast, but what we know for sure is that people who don’t plan for meals aren’t going to eat as well as those who do,” Dormer said.

So, what are students’ options if they don’t get up in time to eat at home?

On Auraria Campus, there are a few options for breakfast, includ-ing McDonald’s, Dazbog Coffee and Einstein Bros. Bagels.

“I always think we can work on our healthy environment on this campus,” Dormer said. “While having a bagel with cream cheese from Einstein’s is probably all right if you are an athlete who is burning a lot of calories, it’s probably more calories than the average student needs.”

Anita Leslie, a fourth year hu-man nutrition and dietetics major, is more blunt about the healthy breakfast options on campus.

“I think the options are crap,” Leslie said. “All of the breakfast options include too much bread,

and too much bread in your diet turns to sugar really fast.”

Leslie, who said she has taken eating breakfast seriously since she lost nearly 200 pounds, said the best way to get a healthy breakfast is to plan for it.

“I found that the healthiest way to eat is by planning your meals,” Leslie said. “If you don’t have time for a sit-down breakfast, make sure you have things on hand like al-monds, peaches and grapes. Things you can take with you.”

Dormer said that in addi-

tion to planning meals, students should purchase the right equip-ment, like a thermos or ice packs, to keep food at a safe temperature while transporting. Some foods to consider are good protein sources like hard-boiled eggs, cheese sticks and nuts.

Another good investment, Dormer said, is a crock pot or electric frying pan to make meals for an on-the-go lifestyle.

“Drinking plenty of milk and water, instead of sugary drinks, is one of the most important things

college students can do, if their goal is to stay healthy, not gain too much weight and get the nutrients their bodies need,” Dormer said.

Most students understand the importance of a good breakfast, but are too busy to sit down and enjoy it.

In honor of National Breakfast Month, pick a morning to give yourself enough time to savor the flavors of breakfast and enjoy the meal with your family, friends or classmates. Feed your body and your brain.

Food bank fights hungerBy Joe Potts

[email protected]

Everyone knows college students typi-cally don’t have a lot of money — and some college students are even more financially strapped than others. As college students, we don’t always qualify for programs that provide help in times of need. That’s why the MSU Denver Student Government Association formed the Metro State Food Bank during the fall of 2008.

Any student currently taking classes at MSU Denver is eligible to use the food bank. During the fall 2013 semester there were over 700 visits to the food bank by MSU Denver students.

The food bank is run by students and is overseen by assistant dean of student engagement and wellness Laura Roth.

“The seed money for the food bank came from SGA,” Roth said. “Beyond that,

the food bank is run entirely on donations.” The food bank even receives food from the 9news “9Cares” food drive. Roth also said that the bank “receives many generous individual donations from faculty, staff and students.”

The food bank is open all year long, closing only during school breaks, holidays and weekends. Students who want to use the food bank must provide a valid MSU Denver student ID and complete a student food bank registration form every semester.

Food bank staff member Kelly Ca-ponigro said that there is often a stigma associated with using food banks, but said that “we want everyone using the food bank to feel welcome, comfortable and respected while utilizing our services.”

She also recommended the following programs for any students that have ad-ditional needs:

• Metro CareRing is a local food pantry that supplies anyone in need with food

resources, including fresh produce and a variety of non-perishable items. 303-860-7200

• Hunger Free Colorado Hotline is a multilingual resource designed to provide

help in locating both public and private food assistance programs.

• Food Bank of the Rockies, maintains a database of food pantries and related food assistance programs throughout the state.

“What we know for sure is that people who don’t plan for meals aren’t going to eat as well as those who do.”

— Cynthia Dormer

Rumors have been flying about a new iPhone coming out this year.

The iPhone 6 is expected to have different sizes that the con-sumer can choose from.

The release date of the new product has been rumored to be September 9, but people may not be able to purchase the phone until a later date.

With the iPhone 5 coming in at 4 inches, the new iPhone 6 will get a major upgrade and sit at 4.7 inches for the smaller one and 5.5 inches for the larger size. The screen comes with a new sapphire crystal display, to make it resistent to scratching and breaking. It will also be thinner, at 7.1 millimeters, than the iPhone 5s, which is 7.6 millimeters.

The style of the phone is comparable to the iPad mini or the newest iPod touch, with pill-shaped volume and mute buttons that are farther away from each other to prevent accidental volume changes. The Apple logo will be embossed on the back of the phone, like the original iPhone, and the back shell will be molded with the front screen, which makes it visually seamless. The power button will be relocated to the righthand side of the phone, mak-ing it more convenient for one-handed use.

A faster auto focusing camera will be included in both sizes. The 5.5 inch model will be the only one available with optical image stabilization and a possible 128 gigabytes of storage. The speaker holes will be redesigned as well. The Touch ID sensor that is in the 5s will be available for the 6.

Along with a new appearance,

the iPhone 6 will also have the newest operating system, iOS 8. The update comes with beneficial features like notification shortcuts and faster message response, a new smart keyboard that can suggest contextually appropriate words to complete your sentence, adding user’s voice to messages and an editing and organizing tool for your photos.

A new app, “Health,” will be added and will communicate with any other existing health apps to make maintaining a healthy lifestyle even easier. Smooth transitions between Apple devices allow you to start a message on one device and finish it on another.

Apple’s new phone is estimated to cost $199 for the 4.7 inch model and $299 for the 5.5 inch model.

With the release date around the corner, users are anxious to upgrade their phones and play with the newest features that the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 have to offer. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket though, because the new iWatch is expect-ed to make a debut in early 2015.

As students settle into the groove of the fall semester, the time comes to perfect the incred-ible balancing act of student life.

Heavy course loads, hectic schedules and various non-academic obligations account for most hours of the day. With so many commitments, finding time to prioritize the outdoors can be seemingly impossible.

But don’t let the excuse of be-ing “too busy” stand in your way. Remember, just a few hours outside can be a great method to recharge and de-stress — essential for any student’s health and sanity.

Matthew/Winters Park is just the destination for students looking to get a quick outdoor fix. Located in Jefferson County near Golden, a mere 20 minutes of driving will provide access to 1,084 acres and 9.2 miles of trail — all for free. Please note the park is very exposed, with little to no shade, so remember to bring plenty of water and sunblock.

Whether you have just one hour or several, Matthew/Winters Park has something for everyone.

Walking:There is an easy, well-main-

tained, one-mile loop that is great for beginners or students in a time crunch. If you’d rather not walk alone, the park is very dog friendly — bring the pooch along for some fresh air as well. Depending on your speed, the loop takes any-where from 30 to 45 minutes.

The Route: From the park-ing lot, head into the park and cross over the bridge. Just after the

bridge is the Village Walk loop. If you go straight, you will reach the junction with Red Rocks Trail. Do not follow this trail — unless you want a longer walk. Instead, continue down the hill to complete the loop.

Hiking/Trail Running:The Red Rocks/Morrison Slide

loop is an easy to moderate hike or trail run with a round-trip distance of 4.2 miles. Given incline and switchbacks, allocate about an hour for a trail run and two hours for a hike. At the peak of the loop, make sure to indulge in great views of the Morrison Valley and Red Rocks Amphitheater.

The Route: From the parking lot, take

the Village Walk Trail to the Red Rocks Trail then loop back down on the Morrison Slide back to Red Rocks Trail and Village Walk trail.

Mountain Biking:At the end of the Village Ride

Trail is the beginning of a 2.8 mile out-and-back for intermediate to advanced mountain bikers. The ride has a steep hike up and some

tight switchbacks on the decent. If time allows for a longer ride, this route connects to Morrison and Dakota Ridge trails. Make sure to watch for traffic, as certain inter-sections may be congested with both bikers and hikers.

Picnicking: If engaging in physical activity

is not on your agenda, the park has a number of picnic tables near the entrance. A quick escape from campus to have some lunch by yourself or with friends could be just the pick-me-up you need. Take the time to step away from the hustle and bustle of campus life and let yourself rejuvenate.

The Route: Take Village Ride trail (bike-only trail) to Red Rocks Trail. Ride to the top of Red Rocks Trail and turn around for the decent.

Getting there: Travel on U.S. 6 west to County

Road 93. Continue about 0.1 mile on Country Road 93 and enter the park at the entrance (on your right).

Future Islands, the synth-pop power-house from Baltimore, have come a long way since they � rst passed through Denver.

� e years since have been kind to the band. Backed by a deeply passionate stage presence from lead singer Samuel Herring and a solid rhythm section rounded out by Gerrit Whelmers on keyboards, William Cashion on bass and touring drummer Mi-chael Lowry, the band slowly climbed to the top of the musical ladder of success — one show and one album at a time.

Future Islands have been on the road for the majority of 2014 — their biggest and longest tour yet — following the release of the smash hit “Singles,” the band’s � rst release in three years.

Herring’s onstage antics are a little more theatrical than that of a traditional front-man. He’s more of a Dr.-Jekyll-meets-Mr.-Hyde frontman, with his lustful intensity and charisma that he brings to every song.

And just like gladiators entering an an-cient Roman arena, Future Islands walked with a swagger in their step at the Gothic � eatre Aug. 27, in front of a sold-out crowd.

“I � rst heard these guys on KMet radio (MSU Denver’s student-run radio station),” said Elizabeth Wright, a recent graduate of MSU Denver. “From that moment, I absolutely fell in love with these guys. I’ve

been waiting for this show for what seems like forever.”

� e show was originally booked for the considerably smaller Bluebird � eater on east Colfax, which quickly sold out. High demand from die-hard Future Islands fans convinced promoters to move the show to the slightly larger, darker and more omi-nous Gothic � eatre in Englewood.

Just a� er 9:30 p.m., the house lights at the Gothic went dim and a bright red beam-ing light from behind the stage burst out over the crowd, nearly blinding everyone as Cashion casually picked up his bright, pearly white four-string axe. Whelmers took to the stage behind his mighty keyboard set-up as Lowry sat atop his throne at the back of stage. Next, Herring ascended from backstage, dressed in his proper norm-core attire as he grabbed the mic and announced, “Let’s do this.”

� e band opened with “Give Us � e Wind,” from 2011’s “On the Water.”

� e band quivered through an exhila-rating 10 songs before dropping an incred-ible version of “Tin Man,” from their second album, “In � e Evening Air.” � e harrowing basslines emanating from Cashion’s bass brought a fresh postmodern look into the band’s renewed art-house way of making music. Cashion was perfectly in sync with Lowry’s thunderous drum � lls as the night went on.

A� er the band displayed their vast range of musical changes, progressions and overall

growth as a band, Herring thanked the crowd for getting him to where he needed to be, a� er admitting he hadn’t been on his game all night.

“I thought it was interesting that he (Herring) felt like he was o� ,” said self-pro-claimed Future Islands “super-fan” Sophia Herzog. “He’s a true performer, that’s for sure.”

Future Islands are a band of many talents. � rough all the theatrical stylings onstage and brilliant musicianship show-cased on each and every track, the sky is the limit for the little band from Baltimore that so obviously could.

Who knows what’s next for these guys — let’s just hope they make their way back to Colorado sometime soon.

The name of Robert Plant’s new solo album, “lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar,” may be a nod to the duality and balance of life that a wise old Plant has come to realize.

At an age where one might be leaning toward the gentler side of living, Plant is aware of the cultural goliath he is and the consistent background “roar” that goes along with being a life-long performing artist.

Yet instead of songs of reflec-tion, as one might expect from a seasoned songwriter on his tenth solo project, Plant has created an album of renewal with his new backing band, “The Sensational Shapeshifters.”

Plant and the band have built songs containing an array of influ-ences gathered from his extensive travels and study of world music.

Following American rock music to its roots — from Appalachian folk songs to southern rhythm and blues — and overseas to northern and western Africa, “lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar” is a richly woven tapestry of sound. Suit-ably so, the band uses instruments not found on your average rock album: djembe, banjo, a moog bass and even a riti, which is a single-stringed fiddle of the Fulani people of west and central Africa.

The first track is an interest-ing and lively arrangement of the traditional 1800s folk song “Little Maggie,” opening with the sounds of a kologo, of west African lute.

The album closes with this song as well, though reimagined with electronica nuances and lyr-ics sung in the Fulani language. In this way, Plant creates a wide circle, with his love of music, the marriage of sound, language, and the emotions and ideas contained within. At times deep and melod-ic, like a lullaby, and at times joyful and raving like the roar of life, “lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar” is a beautiful accompaniment to the everyday dance of balancing life’s contrasts.

It may be hard to believe, but this year marks the 30th anniver-sary of the iconic action-comedy film “Ghostbusters,” rereleased in theaters over Labor Day weekend.

The film is about three unem-ployed parapsychology profes-sors who set up shop to get rid of

ghosts, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis also co-star.

Although the film originally hit the big screen in the summer of 1984, fans of all generations have enjoyed being “slimed” for the last three decades. The theme of the movie is timeless. Beyond the clas-sic Murray sarcastic one-liners like “We came, we saw, we kicked its ass,” the story is about believing in yourself, even if other people call

you crazy.The movie received an Oscar

nomination for best visual effects, losing to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The 1984 green slime special effects may pale in comparison to last year’s space odyssey winner “Gravity,” but the movie stomped onto screens like the movie’s Stay Puft Marshmallow Man stomped through New York City. Cue Murray. “Nobody steps on a church in my town.”

These Manhattan extermina-

tors aren’t your typical Orkin men. As the city is besieged by paranor-mal activity, the ghostbusters ride to the rescue armed with nuclear-powered backpacks. In the end, the paranormal pugilists duke it out in an earthshaking showdown between good and evil.

As it was then, so it is now — “Ghostbusters” is a lot of fun, period, making this a must-see movie – again.

Based on a series of novels by Sara Shepard, “Pretty Little Liars” has become a well-known TV series that combines drama, ro-mance and suspense. Yet it seems to be lacking one thing — a plot.

After watching the first couple of seasons, the feeling of being sucked into a whirlpool kicks in,

and viewers feel as though they are going in circles and being left with more questions than answers.

The show is about a group of four girls that live in a fictional town called Rosewood. After their friend Ali mysteriously disap-pears, they begin to receive texts from an unknown number that threaten the girls with secrets of their pasts, signing the texts with the letter “A.”

The girls go through hell and back as they attempt to take down the elusive caller.

Little do the girls know, there will be a new “A” at the end of

every season, making the season finales and the takedowns of “A” pretty pointless.

Thinking that the threats will end as their friend Ali returns back home, the texts get even worse than before and the girls have to struggle to keep them-selves safe while Ali does things that will make “A” even more dangerous than before.

Even though “Pretty Little Liars” seems to be lacking a “take me serious” plot, the show makes up for that with the acting done by Lucy Hale (Aria Montgomery), Ashley Benson (Hanna Marin), Shay Mitchell (Emily Fields) and

Troian Bellisario (Spencer Hast-ings), all of whom do a pretty good job at making the show more suspenseful and exciting to watch.

Although “Pretty Little Liars” seems to have dragged on a little longer than it realistically should have been, it is still a good show to get into.

“Pretty Little Liars” just finished its fifth season, and although you might be scratching your head, wondering what the point is, the acting will keep you entertained.

“Pretty Little Liars”

The band Blonde Redhead have always been full of surprises, and in their 21 years of creating everything from noise-pop to postmodern psychedelic-dream-scape music, they’re ready to take the main stage again with their newest release, “Barragán.”

On past albums, it has been

difficult to describe exactly what was being played — and the same can be said about “Barragán,” which came out Sept. 2.

Drew Brown, who has worked with some of rock’s best, like Radiohead and Beck, was called upon to produce, engineer and mix the new album. Brown cre-ates an atmosphere on the album that lies in the dark vacuum that is dream-pop — somewhere be-tween the sounds of The XX and Sonic Youth. Yet, to place Blonde Redhead in the same category would be a little on the sketchy

side, considering their history. Blonde Redhead’s sound

is unique and unmatched. The weirdness of the early ‘90s mel-ancholy has met the weirdness of today’s trip-hop. Twin broth-ers Simone and Amedeo Pace, on guitar and drums, respec-tively, can strum and make music together to create a beautiful balance of soft atmospheric tones. Wherever Simone decides to lend his psychedelic stroke of strings, his brother is there to match him with a hard-hitting snare and high-hat.

Add the heartbreaking coo of vocalist Kazu Makino, and “Barragán” is exactly what we would expect from the indie rock pioneers — an album that puts us in a state of cool blue relaxation, with trippy guitar effects that feel as if you’re swimming through a sea of chord progressions with a heavy dose of distorted reverb that is sure to wake you up from an unclear state of inception.

Lacrosse is an ever-growing sport that gains more fans as it gains athletes.

Metro has its own lacrosse team and that team hopes to one day become a full-� edged sport with the university.

� e Roadrunners are a member of the Division II Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference in the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association.

Even though the Runners are a member of the MCLA, Metro’s team is a club team, which means that it is student-run, with limited support from the university. � e school will fund the team based on the activities that are run by the lacrosse team, such as bake sales, but ultimately it is up to the players themselves to buy gear, pick a venue for game and make their own schedule by approaching various colleges and asking them to compete.

Having � nished seventh at 2-7 on the season and 2-5 in confer-ence during the spring semester, the Runners hope to turn this season around and make a strong push for their � rst playo� appear-ance since 2009.

Senior mid� elder Alex Firmm hopes that the team will make strides and improve on last season. “We want to make playo� s,” Firmm said. “� is year we want to beat all the teams that we said we could’ve beat last year. Simply due to the lack of leadership, to the lack of support from the school, we’ve

had to take on a lot of that weight by ourselves.”

� e game of lacrosse has been around since as early as 1100 A.D. and was known as what translates to “stickball” by the Native Ameri-

can tribes who originally played it (most notably a few Iroquois groups). It was practiced by tribal warriors as a recreational past time and religious ceremony, but has since evolved into di� erent leagues

including the National Lacrosse League and Major League La-crosse, which both consist of eight teams. � e only di� erence is that the NLL is played indoors.

� e Runners, who joined the league back in 2008, had the mind-set of making a push to the top of the standings while doing what they can o� the � eld and on the campus to ensure their future is set. “We really want (the team) to become a NCAA sport, we want to make our division conference every year,” Firmm said. “We’re really trying to move forward and make strides so that people under-stand who we are, what we are and what we’re trying to do.”

In the hopes of increasing the awareness and popularity of the sport, the Runners believe that with the emergence of recent MLL Champion Denver Outlaws, Metro will have the tools to be a contend-er year a� er year.

“I believe that lacrosse is still one of those sports that everybody knows about, but they don’t really talk about it,” Firmm said. “It’s slowly growing faster and faster to where it used to be that only the East Coast were the big dogs. It’s slowly growing across the country.”

No matter how big the sport gets, the Roadrunners continue to put the pieces in place, developing any way they can to one day be a fully recognized sport at the uni-versity and hoist the NCAA title.

� e lacrosse team will see their � rst action Sept. 20 at Dick’s Sport-ing Goods Park in Commerce City against the Metro Alumni team.

Lady Runners lock it down against alumni 2-0 Metro’s women’s soccer se-

Both goals by the Roadrunners were scored in the second half .

� e � rst goal was by senior forward Karisa Price in the 54th minute, o� a corner kick by senior mid� elder Abby Rolph. Price

found the back of the net a� er the goalkeeper was unable to handle the cross from the corner.

� e second goal came only three and a half minutes later, in the 58th minute, a� er a turnover at mid� eld gave senior forward Bran-di Farley the opportunity to set up senior mid� elder Tess Hagenlock to score on a breakaway.

� e Runners outshot the alum-ni 29-19 with 15 shots on goal. � e

alumni had only managed six shots on goal giving Metro freshman goalkeeper Breanna Flores � ve saves and junior goalkeeper Sam McCurley one.

Both Price and junior mid� eld-er Jordan Post each had seven shots with four shots on goal.

� e Lady Runners will open up the regular season at home Sept. 4 at the Regency Athletic Complex at 7 p.m. against West Texas A&M.

Our No. 6 Metro sports moment took place March 9, 2013.

Junior guard Brandon Jefferson hit a game-winning jumper with 1.0 seconds left against No. 22 Fort Lewis College to give No. 4 Metro a 61-60 victory in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship game.

A layup from Skyhawks senior guard Marcus Ayala gave Fort Lewis a one-point lead with 8.9 ticks left on the game clock, and was the precursor to one of the more dramatic � nishes in Metro sports history.

Trailing 60-59 with just under nine seconds left in the game, Jefferson received the inbounds pass and drove the length of the court. Forced to his right by the Skyhawks defense, which was protecting the paint to stave off a layup attempt, Jefferson pulled up for a fadeaway jump shot roughly 20 feet from the bas-ket with one second left.

Swish. The win awarded Metro

the RMAC tournament crown — its 10th such title in pro-gram history.

Fort Lewis carried a 32-30 lead into the break. The second half saw seven ties and seven lead changes, none bigger than the � nal two of the game.

Prior to Ayala’s go-ahead basket in the closing seconds, Metro took a 59-58 lead with just over a minute and a half remaining on a layup by senior center Jonathan Morse. Morse’s conversion broke a prior string of six consecutive minutes where the Roadrun-ners were held scoreless. Metro’s lead remained at one point for roughly 80 frantic seconds where neither team found the bottom of the bas-ket until Ayala’s layup.

Jefferson led all scor-ers with 20 points and was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

The victory over Fort Lewis improved Metro’s record to 27-2. Five wins later, the Roadrunners were in the na-tional championship game in Atlanta, Georgia April 7.

Danny Arrubla made every chance he got count.

� e junior forward tallied four goals in the Runners’ 8-1 rout of the Metro Alumni in the annual game Aug. 30.

Along with Arrubla, senior mid� elder Makir Oropeza added two goals for Metro at the newly constructed Regency Athletic Complex.

� e Roadrunners got the � rst goal early when Oropeza scored in the 2nd minute a� er a turnover by the alumni goalkeeper in the box.

A� er a Phil Owen goal for the alumni in the 25th minute tied it at one, Oropeza put the Runners back in front a� er a breakaway with the help of freshman mid� elder Paqui Morales.

� e second half is where the Roadrunners o� ense put the game out of reach, as they added six insurance goals for the win.

Arrubla scored the � rst of his four goals in the 49th minute o� a header from the le� corner and the assist attributed to junior mid� eld-er Pierce Galan.

A shot from the top of the box set sophomore forward Je� Gillis up to increase the Runners’ lead to 4-1.

Arrubla yet again struck gold from another shot in the box set up by teammate sophomore mid� eld-

er Dustin Berg. A little over � ve minutes

passed before Arrubla would add to his tally of goals when he scored Metro’s sixth goal o� of a shot in the box by Gillis.

Sophomore mid� elder Roe Shrestha would sub in for Gillis and would make an impact imme-diately when sophomore forward Josh Belfrage kicked in a rebound a� er Shrestha’s shot hit the right post and eventually found the back of the net.

� e � nishing moment came in the 88th moment when Arrubla added his fourth and � nal goal o� of the only penalty kick of the night and sealed the 8-1 win.

While the � rst half was more competitive than the second, the Runners never relinquished con-trol as they outshot the alumni an astonishing 41-10, with 21 being on goal in the lopsided victory.

A� er an early exit from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer-ence tournament last year, the Runners look to make a deeper run this year.

� e Roadrunners will play in both their home and season opener Sept. 7 at the Regency Athletic Complex at noon when they face the Hawaii Paci� c Sharks before going on a three game road trip.

� e Runners will begin confer-ence play Sept. 19 against the UC-Colorado Springs Mountain Lions.

It’s the third week of school and you still haven’t � gured out what the meaning of life is. Might as well just give up on that one.

Be thankful you’re not an Aquarius this week. Trust us.

You will � nd true love while waiting in line at McDonald’s® this Monday. But don’t say we never warned you.

Your stress level this morning might have some-thing to do with the fact that you drank an entire pot of co� ee before 9 a.m.

� e fact that you’ve already � nished your midterm paper doesn’t make you special. In fact, it makes you a kiss ass.

Before class tomorrow, make sure to strap on a fresh pair of yoga pants, a bright pink North Face ® jacket and oversized sunglasses to keep up with the sorority girls on campus.

If you close your eyes, click your heels and say “pumpkin spice latte” three times, an angry Starbucks® customer will appear in your worst nightmare.

You’ll take comfort in the fact that the gas station attendant recognized you, because now you know who’s been standing outside your bedroom window for the last three weeks.

You’ll � nd hope locked inside a vending ma-chine in West Classroom. � e only question now is, which one?

� e longer you wait to buy that vintage George Michael T-shirt, the longer you’re going to hate yourself.

� is week, we recommend ostensibly watching reruns of the original “90210” to step up your fashion game.

Do NOT trust the girl that sits next to you in math class to give you proper notes — she has a “sel� e” of herself as her lock screen.
