Jason WindersEditor in ChiefWestern News NewspaperUniversity of Western Ontario,London, ON N6A 3K7
Dear Mr. Winders:
A publication as distinctive and respected as yours deserves to be commended. Your award-winning weekly publication has already accumulated numerous accolades, and I would like to contribute to the Western News winning a few more, as a reporter for the staff.
As the Entertainment Editor of Hi-Lights, I have mastered skills in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I have written sports, feature, entertainment and editorial stories, conducted interviews, designed spreads, taken pictures, and edited content in my section, as well as uploaded content to the online component of our publi-cation, hilights.org. My four years of experience would allow me to hit the ground running, and not waste time learning procedure, were I to be a member of your staff.
I understand that your publication, unlike my monthly newspaper, prints on a weekly basis. I am completely capable, and have already, numerous times, written, designed, and edited spreads within the course of a week. My focus and determination to meet deadlines make me a quality candidate for your prompt and timely publication.
Though I am sure this letter already has you considering my application for staff, I am sure that I could remove all shadow of a doubt that I am right for your staff, were we to meet in person. I appreciate your time and consideration.
Respectfully yours,
Cooper Brock

I got started in Journalism when I was a freshman taking Journalism II. My sister recom-mended the program, so I gave it a shot. Since then, I have acquired years of knowledge and experience that will help me as I venture into the field of professional journalism. In my final year of being a member of Boone Publications, I learned a lot about respon-sibility, specifically the responsibility that comes with being a leader. For the middle four issues of the year, I was temporarily promoted to Entertainment Editor, a position I have coveted since my beginnings on staff. As I graded more and more stories, and designed more and more pages, the euphoria faded as the realization of my larger work load set in. Though being an editor gave me the feeling of pride associated with finally being something on staff, I soon realized that leadership comes with the cost of being responsible for those you lead. I had to design for staffers on page, guide their writing, and make sure they stayed on top of their deadline, as well as stay on top of my own. Reflecting on this past year, I now understand that if I want to be respected for what I do, and earn a leadership position in any future journalistic endeavors, I need to grow up. Somewhere in my mind, it still hasn’t clicked that doing my work promptly while retaining quality will take me places. Until that happens, I won’t ever reach the success I crave. Learning this now, rather than when I am searching for a job, is critical. This course taught me so much more than production skills. It taught me what I need to do become successful in a field that can be competitive and ruthless.
This year, my most significant piece earned the rank of All Florida from the Florida Scho-lastic Press Association. A piece about digital piracy, “A piracy life for me” was written to inform and educate the reader about the effects of torrents and illegal downloading have on the digi-tal world. What started as a brief, unremarkable piece without detail, it began to take shape after I began conducting serious research, and getting the hard facts that made up the back-bone of the story. This was a time consuming and repetitive task, because it mostly involved searching for very obscure statistics that were too specific to be a part of a single study. After getting my facts about digital piracy, I began compiling a list of legal alternatives to digital piracy, and weeded out the unreliable ones, so I could give the reader a set of choic-es for alternative ways to listen to music. This being a story about piracy, I enjoyed making use of the opportunity to include pirate wordplay, starting with my headline, “A piracy life for me.” Using words like “plunder” and “boo-ty,” I had a lot more fun writing this story than the time I invested in it would suggest. This piece was also the first piece in which I began experimenting with designing my own secondary and alternative coverage. I made Cd’s into circle graphs, and made separate charts for coverage about Spotify and Pandora. I think I could’ve done more with these graphs with a little more time, but I’m happy with what got printed. The All Florida award was icing on the cake. I was thrilled to win an award for a story that I put so much effort into. It was easily worth the several hours I put into it.

Bright Futures raises standards
By OLIVIA QUATTRONEBright Futures helps families all across Florida at public
universities pay part of the fees involved in a college education; however, with the frequent changes made to the program, these benefits may be harder for some students to receive.
The Bright Futures scholarship program, which is funded by the Florida lottery, allows students who achieve academically to receive scholarships to Florida schools. The highest award is the Florida Academic Scholars award. It pays $100 per credit hour. The Florida Medallion Scholars award covers $75 an hour. With the additional fees involved, the cost per credit hour can add up to over $200. Therefore, Bright Futures may cover half of the cost of a credit hour.
“I think Bright Futures should cover at least half of tuition and all of the supplies needed because I know textbooks can cost $100, and I think that could affect families,” sophomore Brynne Dawkins said.
While Bright Futures can alleviate some of the financial burden to families, recent changes have created barriers for students trying to qualify for the scholarship.
One of the changes made is that one must complete more
State limits students’ dual enrollment course options
By JACKSON CRUMBLY
Dual enrollment is a program for high school students to take college courses. Recently, Valencia’s dual enrollment
program has limited the number of classes a high school student can take.
Students now only have access to courses that are graduation requirements for college and are limited to 12 credits a semester.
According to guidance counselor Jeanette Summers, students need a 3.0
GPA and score a 1000 on the SAT to be eligible for Valencia dual enrollment.
“I think [these cuts will] put students in a tricky position. The days when students could earn an associates degree before graduating high school are gone,” Summers said.
Senior Shelby Trimble, who has been
in dual enrollment at Valencia since her junior year, disagrees with the required courses. Trimble is taking anthropology, biology, physics and humanities.

A piracy life for me
By COOPER BROCKIf anyone who commits an act of
piracy is technically considered a pirate, the Internet has become just as populated with pirates as the Caribbean Sea was in the 1600’s.
Piracy, a term normally associated with swashbucklers and buccaneers, can be used in other contexts as well, including but not limited to, unauthorized usage of copyrighted software downloaded illegally from the Internet.
As MP3 players and other portable media devices have eliminated the need for CDs, the distribution of digital media has skyrocketed, but not always legally. Torrent sites, such as thepiratebay.se, bittorrent.com and what.cd, have made it possible to download all the music one wants without paying a cent.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America, in the decade since peer-‐to-‐peer (p2p) file-‐sharing site Napster emerged in 1999, music sales in the U.S. have dropped 47 percent, from $14.6 billion to $7.7 billion. From 2004 through 2009, approximately 30 billion songs were illegally downloaded from file-‐sharing networks across the web.
An analysis by the Institute for Policy Innovation concludes that global music piracy costs $12.5 billion in economic losses every year, 71,060 U.S. jobs lost, a loss of $2.7 billion in workers’ earnings, a loss of $422 million in
tax revenues, $291 million in personal income tax and $131 million in lost corporate income and production taxes.
The proposed Stop Online Piracy Act’s purpose is to curb the growing trend. If passed, the United States law enforcement would have an enhanced ability to crack down on the distribution of copyrighted intellectual properties and counterfeit goods.
Opponents such as Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, emerged to fight the bill. Taking their site down for a day as protest, Wikipedia argued that SOPA would constrict

Homeless rate grows
By LIZZY GORDONWith a tight grip around his father’s
arm, the boy lays down on a park bench. This is the closest thing he will have to a bed tonight.
According to the article “Homeless U.S. Students Top More Than One Million” from the nonprofit organization The Mustard Seed, an estimated 56,000 students across Florida are fighting homelessness. Homelessness is defined as not having a permanent place of residence or a home.
“I was homeless when I was a child. I was scared because I did not know where we would sleep. Sometimes we slept on park benches,” senior John Doe said. “When we finally moved into a house, I did not think it would last long.”

The piece I wish I could still make revisions to is my article in the oppositional editorial about the legalization of marijuana. I chose the pro-legalize side, a side often written off for druggies and hippies, wanting to make an educated, mature and serious argument. Unfortu-nately, my points were weak, and were not backed by much. I was unprepared to write my first draft of this piece, and it showed. My points were not clearly stated, and I had no facts or statistics to use as evidence of my claims. My argument was more opinion than fact-driven conclusions, and my opponent was much more eloquent in his reasoning. I played a very small role in the design of the secondary coverage, and as there was not much communication between designer and writer, the coverage was very one sided and biased. Were I able to retroactively change things about this piece now, I would definitely pro-vide a better argument, backed by studies and statistics. Also, I would pay more attention to the process of creating the secondary coverage, so we could have a more accurate and less skewed presentation. I feel pretty disappointed about this piece. What could have been a well thought out and elaborate argument ended up being just another generic opinion piece with no back-bone.

Marijuana lights up debateBy COOPER
BROCK
While some may argue that it is a gateway drug, and is a harmful, and damaging substance, marijuana, if decriminalized, can be a lucrative and beneficial stimulant to the
nation.The public has a skewed and
mistaken view of marijuana. Though associated with potheads and burnouts, the legalization of marijuana would offer Americans far more than continuing this expensive, government lead, war on weed ever could.
In the United States and most of the rest of the world, it is illegal to possess, use, cultivate or distribute marijuana.
According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the arrest of more than 750,000 Americans annually for marijuana-related reasons cost tax payers $10 billion every year.
The government has much more pressing matters to deal with than arresting over half a million of its citizens for using one of the only drugs that is non-toxic and has never been found to cause an overdose, according to the World Health Organization.
Legal for medical purposes in parts of South America and Europe, the medical uses for marijuana have been known and have been exercised from as early as 1,000 BC in Southeast Asia.
Cannabis can provide pain relief to those suffering from muscle diseases, dementia, glaucoma and cancer. It is also a powerful appetite stimulant that can assist those suffering from HIV or AIDs, who have problems eating due to their disease, it relieves nausea and vomiting to those with stomach disorders.
A 35 year study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that marijuana caused no permanent brain damage or any negative affects to those who started smoking at the of 18.
One only needs to be 18 to begin poisoning themselves with cigarettes, which draws into question why no American, of any age,, can enjoy a non-toxic alternative.

Marijuana should become legal in the United States because of the benefi ts it can offer us as a nation
marijuana every year and is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind alcohol and tobacco). It is non-toxic and cannot cause death by overdose. In contrast, over 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning, and 400,000 deaths are attributed to tobacco.
Marijuana can benefit the United States in infinitely more ways than it can hinder it. As a nation, Americans must get past their petty preconceived notions and look at the facts. The legalization of marijuana can benefit Americans economically, medically, and recreationally.
By SAM HOLLEMAN
After hundreds and hundreds of years, one of the only things one can say without a doubt about our country is that America is exceedingly racist.
Just when one thinks he or she is going to
write a simple editorial focusing on the negative side of legalizing marijuana, more of America’s racist (all to recent) history pops up.
Marijuana was around for thousands of years with no problem, but that is when good ol’ fashion racism comes into play. In the early 1900’s, we got into a few kerfuffles with the Mexican immigrants and when Americans noticed Mexicans were smoking marijuana, they did what kids did when their parents started wearing Silly Bandz: they band it.
Although the history of banning marijuana may not be all peaches and crème, that doesn’t mean the laws no longer have any power behind them. The laws may have been past due to different intentions, but the mary-j should remain illegal.
First of all,marijuana can cause mental and physical damage. When one smokes the green leaf of life, their memory, judgement and perception can be affected. Forget drunk driving, if one smokes pot and drives, one could crash their car and cost lives all because lighting up and getting some Doritos Locos Tacos seemed like a good idea at the time.
On top of that, smoking marijuana affects one’s heart rate. Within minutes of smoking pot, the individual’s heart rate increases. It can increase between 20 and 50 beats. In
some cases it could even double, which would cause a heart attack.
And If that is not enough, here is the cherry on top of the ominous sundae: lung problems.
Marijuana is smoked (incase that was not clear). The most popular way to ingest it is through smoking. Smoking means that they are inhaling smoke...which is really bad. Smoke in the airways can lead to chest colds, bronchitis, or worse.
Furthermore, marijuana is addictive. People will say it’s not, but everything is addictive, marijuana being no exception.
A woman in New Zealand died three years ago of a heart attack and now her family is suing Coca Cola because they believe (with good reason) her addiction to Coke (the delicious beverage. In this article, clarification is a necessity) .
She drank over two gallons of the soft drink a day. Everything is addictive. For people who start smoking marijuana in their mid to late teens, 1 in 6 will become addicted. Having a dependency such as that can ruin one’s life. How can a person get a job when they are too busy trying to get weed wherever they can? How can a person start a family when they can’t stop smoking? How can a person catch up on Breaking Bad when they can’t break such a controlling habit?
Moreover, there is no point in smoking marijuana. It doesn’t provide any serious health benefits and it doesn’t make you smarter than Jimmy Neutron. Bill Gates wasn’t stoned when he created the PC and Muhammad Ali wasn’t blazed when he became the boxing heavyweight champion of the world.
Cancer patients use it to numb the pain of the chemotherapy they must receive to fight their illness, But there are many other options one can chose to assist in that fashion. The only thing marijuana does is causes one to relax. If one wants to become relaxed, go hug a puppy or drink Earl Grey tea. Bottom line: marijuana is not the answer. It doesn’t provide anything to people that other products (that are not illegal) cant.
Marijuana must remain illegal in order to save lives. By legalizing marijuana, lives are being put. And for what? To have a few hours of relaxation calmness?
The number of American lives that will be saved due to keeping this law may not save hundreds of millions of lives every year. But even if keeping the ban saves 10 American’s lives annually, then it should not legalize the drug. The lives are Americans should be taken priority over smoking marijuana and relaxing for a few hours. American lives are worth saving, no matter the quantity.

Medical marijuana use only I personally think the United States shouldn’t legalize
marijuana for any reason other than for medicinal purposes. It should be legal for medicinal purposes because it would help alleviate pain and increase appetite for people with certain conditions/diseases. Other than that, I think it should remain illegal. Nothing positive comes from it. It alters one’s ability to think and impairs judgement. The
threat of addiction to the substance is also very real and in some cases leads to addiction.

The senior most member of the 2013 Hi-Lights newspaper staff, I was an asset to my staff by providing insight I gained from my previous years on staff. Aside from just making deadlines in general, my main usefulness came from my expe-rience. The last remaining member of the 2009-2010 staff, I have been around longer than everyone, save for our advisor. I have seen what works really well, and what ends in a train wreck. I’ve got a bit of skill in most aspects of journalism, which makes me an easy choice for someone to go to for help, especially new staffers. I helped our Business Manager design ads, helped my fellow page editors designed spreads, helped staffers with writing and interviews, and wrote my fair share of clever head-lines. A lot of the time, I felt I was contributing the most when the staff met to discuss story ideas. Knowing what makes a story sing, or crash and burn, I felt like I steered a lot of rogue stories in the right direction through throwing in my input when I thought something could be improved. In my brief existence as an editor, I counseled staffers and helped them better articulate their stories. I taught several staffers how to compose a proper review, and how to express an opinion in a way that is journalistically appropriate. My talents were not limited to my own publication. When a yearbook story, which was already weeks late, was not up to par, I rewrote the story myself, and earned a byline in the yearbook. My commitment to the publication showed whenever I stayed after school to help our paper go to press, whenever I stopped what I was doing to help someone else, and whenever I proudly represented Boone Pubs at school events, including but not limited to, the Reservation Run, Green Up Boone, and Sweetheart Court.
Though troublesome in my earlier years, making and meeting my own personal dead-lines was much better in my senior year. Though I still neglected to complete some of my web stories, I was never more than a day late to any editor for my print stories. My main difficulty was managing and prioritizing different responsibilities. As the Entertainment Editor, my responsibilities included, but were not limited to, design-ing pages, editing copy, creating page headers and picking up any stories that fell behind. All of this was my responsibility, along with staying on top of my own deadlines and assignments. When it comes to staying focused, I sometimes have a hard time when I have multiple duties at once. Because I work better when I take things one step at a time, I often need to make a list, in order of importance, of tasks I need to complete. It was difficult for me to manage time for helping others and helping myself. I often chose helping others first because I always assumed that I would get my work done eventually. Finding the balance that allows adequate time for both myself and my section was an equilibrium that I could rarely achieve. Were I able to do it again, I would have definitely completed my assignments first, so I would never risk individually holding up the publication. Time management is going to be essential tool no matter what career path I take, so I try to take as much away from this experience as I can. Allocating enough time for all of my responsibilities takes just as much determination as it takes organization.
The three goals I came up with for myself at midyear included, maintaining print dead-lines while improving my web deadlines, being more creative and bold with my designs, and being able to have my advisor say she was unconditionally proud of me. The first of the these three, I achieved for the most part. I maintained my print deadlines, never being more than a day late to an editor for anything, and posted a good deal more than I did during my first semester on the web. That is not to say I was a perfect student, but I definitely made the effort to keep up with my web stories, and made sure I was posting quality, informative and entertaining content. My designs also gained a boost during the second semester. I experimented frequently with using secondary and alternative coverage to convey information that would otherwise just be blocks of text. I created my own nutrition labels for my article on sports drinks, circle graphs made out of Cd’s for my story about digital piracy, and designed a bold and colorful feature on the popularity of British artists in the United States. I was proud of my efforts and achieve-ments as a designer. Unfortunately, I did not meet my third goal of earning my advisors respect. I did not earn it, and do not deserve it. Though I tried to correct my wrongs and start making some rights, my work ethic was still fundamentally flawed. Subconsciously, part of me still procrastinated, and was okay with just getting by, and coasting. Coasting is not what I aimed for, and unfortunately, is not what earns respect. This year was definitely an improvement for me, though not enough of one. Unfortunate-ly, I was not able to meet my ultimate goal, which to me is very disappointing and dishearten-ing. I am filled with regret about how I conducted myself at times throughout my experience in my school’s journalism program. Sometimes it takes a devastating failure or loss to motivate one to better themselves. Though I would have liked to avoid this failure altogether, I will use my personal failure of letting my advisor and myself down to inspire initiative and perseverance in everything I do.
Beverage companies gloss over negative facts behind products
While claiming to boost one’s athletic performance, Gatorade doesn’t discuss the potential disadvantages of its products.
Gatorade was invented by a team of scientists at the University of Florida in 1965 as a way to replace fluids lost through sweat during exercise.
The mixture of water, sodium, sugar, phosphate, potassium and lemon juice, Gatorade, was credited as the determining factor of the Gators’ first Orange Bowl win.
When asked about the game, Bobby Dodd then head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, said “We didn’t have Gatorade. That made the difference.”
Now the official sports drink of the NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NHL and MLS, Gatorade has become a world known brand. Athletes across the globe use Gatorade products and other sports drinks to fuel their performance.
What they don’t know, is that Gatorade has potentially harmful side effects that can actually hinder an athlete, rather than help him. These side effects come from the amount of sugar in Gatorade and its high citric acid content.
“I don’t think athletes would drink Gatorade as much if they knew about the harmful side effects it has,” junior Deion Thomas said.
Every 20 ounce bottle of Gatorade contains 35mg of sugar, which is more than twice the amount of sugar in a half cup serving of ice cream and the same amount as
a fudge nut brownie.While sugar temporarily provides a burst
of energy, due to the rise in blood sugar, it soon turns to a burst of fatigue as the blood sugar levels plummet.
The only way to have sustained energy from sugar is to consume steady quantities of it, which can lead to an upset stomach, further hindering one’s ability to perform.
According to a study done by the Massachusetts General Hospital, sustained doses of sugar can reduce the production of testosterone. An excessive amount of Gatorade could provide that sugar.
Higher testosterone levels promote improved endurance, muscle size and strength. Reduced testosterone from the overconsumption of sugar can hurt one’s game, rather than fuel it.
“That’s crazy,” senior Joshua Green said. “Our coach brought us a lot of Gatorade. He made us drink one after every practice and another before every game.”
Along with hindrance of athletic ability, the buildup of sugar and citric acid on one’s teeth can cause erosion of the enamel, or protective outer coating, according to the American Dental Association.
If Gatorade is consumed excessively without proper exercise, it can lead to difficulties managing one’s weight, due to the sheer amount of carbohydrates in each bottle.
Although able to cause problems in excess, Gatorade is as successful as it is because it has been found through scientific research to be effective.
A study conducted at Wisconsin University concluded that “Gatorade was slightly more beneficial than water regarding
Rated Perceived Exertion and weight change during prolonged exercise.”
“I think people just use Gatorade more than they use water because it tastes better,” freshman Elizabeth Porterfield, sports medicine student, said.
Preference of taste can play a large part in maintaining hydration.
A similar study done at Vanderbilt University found that “for endurance events and athletic competitions Gatorade and other sports drinks are very effective in preventing dehydration and, unlike water, can provide carbohydrate energy to working muscles, stimulate rapid rehydration and can actually encourage you to drink enough fluid to avoid dehydration.”
Though effective, the side effects remained, and in 2011, Gatorade released the G2 lineup, a lower calorie and sugar alternative to the original formula.
While much better for one’s health, G2 never reached the same popularity it’s predecessor reached, fumbling in sales compared to the original Gatorade, due to preference of the original Gatorade’s flavor.
“Gatorade should find another way to make their products healthier, maybe change the formula,” Green said. “G2 tastes like medicine.”
Although effective in most circumstances, Gatorade still has the potential to cause some undesirable effects to those who use it in excess, or without proper exercise.
“I guess it just depends,” Porterfield said. “If you are actually out there exercising, some Gatorade shouldn’t be too bad for you, but if you’re just sitting around it could potentially cause some problems.”
As long as they are active, it shouldn’t be a problem. Gatorade is intended for 90 minute bouts of excercise.
Yes, if consumed consistently, because of it’s high sugar. It can lead to a crash.
Sugar. When you aren’t excercising enough, excess sugar builds up and more is being consumed than can be processed, and the body can’t keep up.
For endurance athletes, original Gatorade supplies the necessary sugars and electrolytes the body needs to replenish itself. G2 is essentially a watered down version of Gatorade, and will not replace the carbs and sugars the body needs to recover.

access to information they felt should be freely distributed. As of Jan. 15, 2012, the bill is inactive. Representative Eric Cantor, a major proponent of the bill, said it would not return until a consensus could be reached on amendments and provisions to the bill.
“I think it is important that artists receive compensation and credit for the work they produce,” senior Joseph Collazo said. “However, I don’t believe it should be the government’s responsibility. The Internet is so vast, that there is little hope to believe that every song can be completely secured, and I think any money or resources put toward that belief can be better allocated.”
Torrenting, or BitTorrenting, is a process by which users can distribute large amounts of data over a peer-‐to-‐peer network. Though illegal, torrenting simplifies and accelerates downloading processes by allowing users multiple sources to download from.
With less downloads per source, large files such as movies or collections of music can be downloaded quickly and quietly. Torrent sites notoriously encrypt all data as a means of preventing legal action of copyright infringement.
Websites such as what.cd take even more steps of precaution. This torrent site is a members only, invite only peer-‐to-‐peer sharing network. To log on to the site, one must have received an invitation from an already existing user.
Furthermore, once on the site, one must uphold the set ratio for uploading and downloading: Uploading must be greater than or equal to downloading. This ensures that all members contribute, and no one takes advantage of the site.
However safe and secure a torrent site claims to be, one who participates in the piracy of software can still find himself walking the plank of the criminal justice system.
Copyright holders can make cases for lawsuits that sue the offender for upwards of $1,000 per song. And with the mass quantities music is downloaded in, this could spell trouble for those who do not cover their tracks sufficiently.
Evidence of this can be seen by the events leading to the closing of LimeWire.
In 2011, a court order closed LimeWire, a popular file sharing site. Sony Music and Warner later filed a lawsuit against LimeWire, who eventually paid both companies $105 million. LimeWire also immediately closed their site following the lawsuit.
There are alternatives to piracy. Other programs have made it possible to listen to all the music listens one wants without costing a dime. Legally. Swedish programmer Daniel Elk created Spotify, the “Social Music Network” as a way to have the complete musical experience at any time, without worry of legal repercussions.
Spotify functions freely to its users by allowing advertisers to play radio style advertisements. An artist whose song plays on Spotify earns half of a penny per listen.
“[I think Spotify’s artist compensation is a fair deal.] People use Spotify a lot, and it’s better than not getting anything for a torrent,” senior Kaylee Schmidt said. “There will always be new music being made, but [Spotify] could potentially hinder artists financially. It also gives them more exposure.”
Now fully partnered with Facebook, Spotify allows one to send tracks, albums and playlists to friends via social networking.
While a premium service, which brings additional features such as mobile streaming, is offered to those who pay a monthly fee of $9.99, unlimited listening is available to any registered user in the United States.
Price: Free, optional premium ($9.99)
Features: Social media based music sharing, music apps, mobile streaming
Description: A Swedish, musical take on social networking, Spotify allows unlimited listens to a vast library of music. Users can share, rate and make playlists with their favorite tracks, which can be posted to Facebook. Premium service offers
ads between tracks. Complete with apps to help users discover new music, Spotify is tailored to helping one listen to already familiar and favorited music.
Spotify
PandoraPrice: Free
Features: Personalized radio stations, responds to user’s musical tastes
Description: A part of the “Music Genome Project,” Pandora radio is a free, analysis based radio program that selects tracks based on the user’s known tastes and preferences in genre, and artist. Songs are analyzed by over 450 different qualities, and Pandora’s library is continually updated with oldies and up-and-comers alike. Users select a favorite artist, and Pandora creates a radio station consisting of music similar to the initially selected artist.

Piracy, from page 1
Team revives dreamBy COOPER BROCK
“This is our last chance to win states. We all feel the sense of urgency, like the clock is counting down,” senior Caroline Jordan said.
Seniors Alexandra Harvard, Kendall Sexton, Megan Chevalier and Caroline Jordan have been on the varsity volleyball team since their freshman year. In 2010 they made it to the state competition, and they came up short.
Coming into their fourth and final year, their hope and expectation is to take home the state title once and for all.
“I want to end [my last year] with a ring on my finger for sure,” Harvard said. “We definitely have exactly what it takes [to win] and we have the right attitude. Go big or go home.”
Two years ago, the “dream team’s” dream was ended after Tampa Plant beat them in three games at states. The following season
Girls set eyes on state championships
the girls did not make it out of the district competition.
“We are extremely driven. We are doing it for each other, not just ourselves,” Harvard said. “Two years ago we were not as driven, because it was not as much of a team effort.”
Sixteen games into their season, the girls have come out 13-‐3, losing only to Lake Mary, Olympia and to Bishop Moore.
On Sept. 4, the team traveled to Bishop Moore to play the ranked team at their home court. After losing the first two games by margins of five points, the team picked themselves up to win the next two games and made the fifth game a point for point game, although coming up short 14-‐16.
“The only team that can really beat us is ourselves,” coach Mike Ledewski said. “We have to compete at such a high level and when we’re at that level, we can really take on anybody. We have gotten to the point where the only thing that can take a win away from us is a mistake on our part.”
Besides the four year starters, senior captain Delaney Arkeilpane aids the team
with a total of 82 digs this season, the most out of any player on the team.
“Delaney is a catalyst for our offense, when she is passing well, it moves the entire team,” Ledewski said.
Nearing the end of their regular season, the team must maintain their winning streak in play-‐offs to make it to states.
“Having been on both losing and winning teams, I know what both feel like, and it strongly motivates me to make sure that we are a winning team,” Jordan said. “We were so close, and we saw what it was like to win it all, and then we were crushed because we came up short. We are playing for redemption this year.”
If the team makes it to states this season, it will be a first for sophomore Oakley Attaway.
“[Our biggest challenge this season will be] controlling our nerves and just having fun with it,” Attaway said. “Things go a lot smoother when nerves aren’t a factor and everyone is joking around and having fun.”
The next home game will be on Thurdsay, Oct. 11 against Timber Creek.

20 Friday, October 5, 2012 hilights.org sportsstories hi-lightsJUNIOR VARSITY VOLLEYBALL PULLS WINNING STREAKThe junior varsity volleyball team has not lost since Sep. 21, as of press date. Since then, the team has played Cypress Creek, Edgewater and East River, winning 2-0 every game. The team’s next game is Oct. 11, home, against Timber Creek.
FRESHMEN GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL BREAKS 500The freshmen girls’ volleyball team concluded its season on Oct. 1 with a 0-2 loss against The
First Academy. The team ends with a 6-5 record. Wins included Winter Park, Cypress Creek, Timber Creek, Edgewater,twice, and Freedom.
N2. In-depth news/feature storyThis being my last published piece for Hi-Lights, I made sure to do the legwork behind an article of this type. I feel the quality of writing is superb, and the information is presented in an orderly manner. The secondary coverage that I designed also adds to the depth of research.
N2. In-depth news/feature sto-ry. Dec. A piece about the facts behind digital piracy, I enjoyed making use of pirate based puns throughout the article. Already recognized as All Florida by the FSPA, I felt that this piece was significant enough to represent myself as a writer and designer.
N10. Sports featuresCovering a near-fabled team that was predicted to reach state competition, I thoroughly enjoyed going to every game of their season, as a reporter and a fan. I thought the player breakdown was a great way to help give the story an angle, about four seniors who climbed the ranks together.
Over my four year span as a writer for Hi-Lights, I made some noticeable improvements, and discovered some hindrances that stayed with me for my career. Making deadlines were never easy for me, and my third year on staff was the culmina-tion of that weakness. This year, I was never more than a day late to an editor, and made an effort to be a more active poster on the web portion of our publication. From my first year to my last, the quality of my writing exploded. From my first published work, which was a question and answer piece for the new heads of the music department, to my last, which was a article questioning the benefits of Gatorade, my ability to properly articu-late information through writing is the easiest way to see how I have journalistically grown. Though the quantity of my photos diminished, the quality only went up. As I began to unravel the mysteries of shutter speed and aperture, my photos began to tell stories, even without captions. Given the opportunity to become an editor, I was able to spread my wings of design, and explore my capabilities of using Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I began design-ing my own secondary coverage, graphs, pages and layouts, as well as for those who wrote in my section. The quality of my portfolios has gone up over the years, though mostly in the writing aspect. My designs saw the biggest change from my sophomore year to my junior year, where I switched from just plastering a page with brushes to making use of photos and InDesign to present a more professional look. This year, I have tried to play with type more than anything else, to make a simple, yet bold design that doesn’t overshadow the quality of the content.

Bright Futures raises standards
By OLIVIA QUATTRONEBright Futures helps families all across Florida at public
universities pay part of the fees involved in a college education; however, with the frequent changes made to the program, these benefits may be harder for some students to receive.
The Bright Futures scholarship program, which is funded by the Florida lottery, allows students who achieve academically to receive scholarships to Florida schools. The highest award is the Florida Academic Scholars award. It pays $100 per credit hour. The Florida Medallion Scholars award covers $75 an hour. With the additional fees involved, the cost per credit hour can add up to over $200. Therefore, Bright Futures may cover half of the cost of a credit hour.
“I think Bright Futures should cover at least half of tuition and all of the supplies needed because I know textbooks can cost $100, and I think that could affect families,” sophomore Brynne Dawkins said.
While Bright Futures can alleviate some of the financial burden to families, recent changes have created barriers for students trying to qualify for the scholarship.
One of the changes made is that one must complete more
State limits students’ dual enrollment course options
By JACKSON CRUMBLY
Dual enrollment is a program for high school students to take college courses. Recently, Valencia’s dual enrollment
program has limited the number of classes a high school student can take.
Students now only have access to courses that are graduation requirements for college and are limited to 12 credits a semester.
According to guidance counselor Jeanette Summers, students need a 3.0
GPA and score a 1000 on the SAT to be eligible for Valencia dual enrollment.
“I think [these cuts will] put students in a tricky position. The days when students could earn an associates degree before graduating high school are gone,” Summers said.
Senior Shelby Trimble, who has been
in dual enrollment at Valencia since her junior year, disagrees with the required courses. Trimble is taking anthropology, biology, physics and humanities.
“I don’t like [the new limitations]. I
A piracy life for me
By COOPER BROCKIf anyone who commits an act of
piracy is technically considered a pirate, the Internet has become just as populated with pirates as the Caribbean Sea was in the 1600’s.
Piracy, a term normally associated with swashbucklers and buccaneers, can be used in other contexts as well, including but not limited to, unauthorized usage of copyrighted software downloaded illegally from the Internet.
As MP3 players and other portable media devices have eliminated the need for CDs, the distribution of digital media has skyrocketed, but not always legally. Torrent sites, such as thepiratebay.se, bittorrent.com and what.cd, have made it possible to download all the music one wants without paying a cent.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America, in the decade since peer-‐to-‐peer (p2p) file-‐sharing site Napster emerged in 1999, music sales in the U.S. have dropped 47 percent, from $14.6 billion to $7.7 billion. From 2004 through 2009, approximately 30 billion songs were illegally downloaded from file-‐sharing networks across the web.
An analysis by the Institute for Policy Innovation concludes that global music piracy costs $12.5 billion in economic losses every year, 71,060 U.S. jobs lost, a loss of $2.7 billion in workers’ earnings, a loss of $422 million in
tax revenues, $291 million in personal income tax and $131 million in lost corporate income and production taxes.
The proposed Stop Online Piracy Act’s purpose is to curb the growing trend. If passed, the United States law enforcement would have an enhanced ability to crack down on the distribution of copyrighted intellectual properties and counterfeit goods.
Opponents such as Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, emerged to fight the bill. Taking their site down for a day as protest, Wikipedia argued that SOPA would constrict

Homeless rate grows
By LIZZY GORDONWith a tight grip around his father’s
arm, the boy lays down on a park bench. This is the closest thing he will have to a bed tonight.
According to the article “Homeless U.S. Students Top More Than One Million” from the nonprofit organization The Mustard Seed, an estimated 56,000 students across Florida are fighting homelessness. Homelessness is defined as not having a permanent place of residence or a home.
“I was homeless when I was a child. I was scared because I did not know where we would sleep. Sometimes we slept on park benches,” senior John Doe said. “When we finally moved into a house, I did not think it would last long.”
Shelters find themselves crowded year round, especially during the winter

Pirates threaten digital prosperity
access to information they felt should be freely distributed. As of Jan. 15, 2012, the bill is inactive. Representative Eric Cantor, a major proponent of the bill, said it would not return until a consensus could be reached on amendments and provisions to the bill.
“I think it is important that artists receive compensation and credit for the work they produce,” senior Joseph Collazo said. “However, I don’t believe it should be the government’s responsibility. The Internet is so vast, that there is little hope to believe that every song can be completely secured, and I think any money or resources put toward that belief can be better allocated.”
Torrenting, or BitTorrenting, is a process by which users can distribute large amounts of data over a peer-‐to-‐peer network. Though illegal, torrenting simplifies and accelerates downloading processes by allowing users multiple sources to download from.
With less downloads per source, large files such as movies or collections of music can be downloaded quickly and quietly. Torrent sites notoriously encrypt all data as a means of preventing legal action of copyright infringement.
Websites such as what.cd take even more steps of precaution. This torrent site is a members only, invite only peer-‐to-‐peer sharing network. To log on to the site, one must have received an invitation from an already existing user.
Furthermore, once on the site, one must uphold the set ratio for uploading and downloading: Uploading must be greater than or equal to downloading. This ensures that all members contribute, and no one takes advantage of the site.
However safe and secure a torrent site claims to be, one who participates in the piracy of software can still find himself walking the plank of the criminal justice system.
Copyright holders can make cases for lawsuits that sue the offender for upwards of $1,000 per song. And with the mass quantities music is downloaded in, this could spell trouble for those who do not cover their tracks sufficiently.
Evidence of this can be seen by the events leading to the closing of LimeWire.
In 2011, a court order closed LimeWire, a popular file sharing site. Sony Music and Warner later filed a lawsuit against LimeWire, who eventually paid both companies $105 million. LimeWire also immediately closed their site following the lawsuit.
There are alternatives to piracy. Other programs have made it possible to listen to all the music listens one wants without costing a dime. Legally. Swedish programmer Daniel Elk created Spotify, the “Social Music Network” as a way to have the complete musical experience at any time, without worry of legal repercussions.
Spotify functions freely to its users by allowing advertisers to play radio style advertisements. An artist whose song plays on Spotify earns half of a penny per listen.
“[I think Spotify’s artist compensation is a fair deal.] People use Spotify a lot, and it’s better than not getting anything for a torrent,” senior Kaylee Schmidt said. “There will always be new music being made, but [Spotify] could potentially hinder artists financially. It also gives them more exposure.”
Now fully partnered with Facebook, Spotify allows one to send tracks, albums and playlists to friends via social networking.
While a premium service, which brings additional features such as mobile streaming, is offered to those who pay a monthly fee of $9.99, unlimited listening is available to any registered user in the United States.
Price: Free, optional premium ($9.99)
Features: Social media based music sharing, music apps, mobile streaming
Description: A Swedish, musical take on social networking, Spotify allows unlimited listens to a vast library of music. Users can share, rate and make playlists with their favorite tracks, which can be posted to Facebook. Premium service offers
ads between tracks. Complete with apps to help users discover new music, Spotify is tailored to helping one listen to already familiar and favorited music.

Marijuana lights up debateBy COOPER
BROCK
While some may argue that it is a gateway drug, and is a harmful, and damaging substance, marijuana, if decriminalized, can be a lucrative and beneficial stimulant to the
nation.The public has a skewed and
mistaken view of marijuana. Though associated with potheads and burnouts, the legalization of marijuana would offer Americans far more than continuing this expensive, government lead, war on weed ever could.
In the United States and most of the rest of the world, it is illegal to possess, use, cultivate or distribute marijuana.
According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the arrest of more than 750,000 Americans annually for marijuana-related reasons cost tax payers $10 billion every year.
The government has much more pressing matters to deal with than arresting over half a million of its citizens for using one of the only drugs that is non-toxic and has never been found to cause an overdose, according to the World Health Organization.
Legal for medical purposes in parts of South America and Europe, the medical uses for marijuana have been known and have been exercised from as early as 1,000 BC in Southeast Asia.
Cannabis can provide pain relief to those suffering from muscle diseases, dementia, glaucoma and cancer. It is also a powerful appetite stimulant that can assist those suffering from HIV or AIDs, who have problems eating due to their disease, it relieves nausea and vomiting to those with stomach disorders.
A 35 year study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that marijuana caused no permanent brain damage or any negative affects to those who started smoking at the of 18.
One only needs to be 18 to begin poisoning themselves with cigarettes, which draws into question why no American, of any age,, can enjoy a non-toxic alternative.

Marijuana should become legal in the United States because of the benefi ts it can offer us as a nation
marijuana every year and is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind alcohol and tobacco). It is non-toxic and cannot cause death by overdose. In contrast, over 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning, and 400,000 deaths are attributed to tobacco.
Marijuana can benefit the United States in infinitely more ways than it can hinder it. As a nation, Americans must get past their petty preconceived notions and look at the facts. The legalization of marijuana can benefit Americans economically, medically, and recreationally.
By SAM HOLLEMAN
After hundreds and hundreds of years, one of the only things one can say without a doubt about our country is that America is exceedingly racist.
Just when one thinks he or she is going to
write a simple editorial focusing on the negative side of legalizing marijuana, more of America’s racist (all to recent) history pops up.
Marijuana was around for thousands of years with no problem, but that is when good ol’ fashion racism comes into play. In the early 1900’s, we got into a few kerfuffles with the Mexican immigrants and when Americans noticed Mexicans were smoking marijuana, they did what kids did when their parents started wearing Silly Bandz: they band it.
Although the history of banning marijuana may not be all peaches and crème, that doesn’t mean the laws no longer have any power behind them. The laws may have been past due to different intentions, but the mary-j should remain illegal.
First of all,marijuana can cause mental and physical damage. When one smokes the green leaf of life, their memory, judgement and perception can be affected. Forget drunk driving, if one smokes pot and drives, one could crash their car and cost lives all because lighting up and getting some Doritos Locos Tacos seemed like a good idea at the time.
On top of that, smoking marijuana affects one’s heart rate. Within minutes of smoking pot, the individual’s heart rate increases. It can increase between 20 and 50 beats. In
some cases it could even double, which would cause a heart attack.
And If that is not enough, here is the cherry on top of the ominous sundae: lung problems.
Marijuana is smoked (incase that was not clear). The most popular way to ingest it is through smoking. Smoking means that they are inhaling smoke...which is really bad. Smoke in the airways can lead to chest colds, bronchitis, or worse.
Furthermore, marijuana is addictive. People will say it’s not, but everything is addictive, marijuana being no exception.
A woman in New Zealand died three years ago of a heart attack and now her family is suing Coca Cola because they believe (with good reason) her addiction to Coke (the delicious beverage. In this article, clarification is a necessity) .
She drank over two gallons of the soft drink a day. Everything is addictive. For people who start smoking marijuana in their mid to late teens, 1 in 6 will become addicted. Having a dependency such as that can ruin one’s life. How can a person get a job when they are too busy trying to get weed wherever they can? How can a person start a family when they can’t stop smoking? How can a person catch up on Breaking Bad when they can’t break such a controlling habit?
Moreover, there is no point in smoking marijuana. It doesn’t provide any serious health benefits and it doesn’t make you smarter than Jimmy Neutron. Bill Gates wasn’t stoned when he created the PC and Muhammad Ali wasn’t blazed when he became the boxing heavyweight champion of the world.
Cancer patients use it to numb the pain of the chemotherapy they must receive to fight their illness, But there are many other options one can chose to assist in that fashion. The only thing marijuana does is causes one to relax. If one wants to become relaxed, go hug a puppy or drink Earl Grey tea. Bottom line: marijuana is not the answer. It doesn’t provide anything to people that other products (that are not illegal) cant.
Marijuana must remain illegal in order to save lives. By legalizing marijuana, lives are being put. And for what? To have a few hours of relaxation calmness?
The number of American lives that will be saved due to keeping this law may not save hundreds of millions of lives every year. But even if keeping the ban saves 10 American’s lives annually, then it should not legalize the drug. The lives are Americans should be taken priority over smoking marijuana and relaxing for a few hours. American lives are worth saving, no matter the quantity.

marijuana for any reason other than for medicinal purposes. It should be legal for medicinal purposes because it would help alleviate pain and increase appetite for people with certain conditions/diseases. Other than that, I think it should remain illegal. Nothing positive comes from it. It alters one’s ability to think and impairs judgement. The
threat of addiction to the substance is also very real and in some cases leads to addiction.

Driver accelerates careerStock car racer moves up in racing league
By COOPER BROCK
On his daily commute to school, he normally maxes out at 40 mph. However, every Friday night he reaches speeds of up to 115 mph.
Driving around the track with up to 50 other drivers in full size stock cars, junior Bruce Bennett is a race car driver.
“He’s always liked race cars and NASCAR. He skipped preschool and would hang out at a friend of mine’s and watch him fix cars,” Bruce’s father Charles Bennett said.
Previously a stock car racer himself, Bennett’s father saw his son’s interest in the sport take shape at 5 years old. At 7 years old, he began racing go-‐karts, then racing full size trucks at 13 years old.
“I like the adrenaline rush. We hit speeds over 100 mph depending on the truck, so it gets pretty intense,” Bennett said. “Probably like 20 minutes before the race I get nervous, but once I start driving it all goes away.”
With his father as his spotter, and his mother and sister detailing the cars, Bennett’s passion has become his family’s, making each tournament and rally a family affair.
“Every time he wins, it’s memorable,”
C. Bennett said. “When he was 12, he won his first race, and it was a week-‐long event.”
There are seven tracks in Florida, and the Bennett family travels to each of them as racing tournaments take place, every two weeks. They also travel to the tracks to race individually in timed trials every Friday night.
“Most of the work is preparing the car. He’s considered a rough driver and we have to fix it back up. After almost every race, he comes back with a fender bender,” C. Bennett said.
Having won one race in 2012, 9 in 2011, along with several 2nd and 3rd place finishes, Bennett earns between $500-‐$1300 per win. The prize money is often used for upgrades and repairs to the car.
Bennett’s family intends to stick with racing for as long as they can afford, stating that they need a good sponsor to help pay for equipment, repairs, and entrance fees.
The next step in racing for Bennett is a super late model, which is the fastest model one can drive locally without entering the NASCAR circuit.
“I’d like to go big in race car driving, but it’s all about money and sponsorships. Whatever I can do I’m happy with,” Bennett said.
As of now, Bennett continues
racing in all the Florida minor circuit tournaments and rallies as well as individually, against the clock.
“There are some people who have traditions or rituals before they race, but not me,” Bennett said. “I just get in the car and drive.”

Having been involved in the organization and execution of over 20 campus events, including homecoming, prom and Big Man on Campus, student body vice president Brendan Francis has been in Student Government since his freshman year.
“[When I joined SGA] I wanted to be a part of everything that was BHS, and I wanted to leave a legacy behind,” Francis said. “I wanted to make BHS a better place after I left than it was before I got here.”
On Dec. 1, Francis began work on the Canned Food Drive, an event geared toward collecting food to make Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate.
“His charisma really gets people to follow him. He makes people want to better themselves by instilling self confidence,” SGA Cassandra Stilwell said.
SGA members collected over 350 pounds of canned goods, and then distributed baskets to families in need before Thanksgiving break.
“Making Thanksgiving baskets was a really awesome event, because you get to directly see the fruits of your labors, when families who are less fortunate get to enjoy an American Thanksgiving dinner,” Francis said.
Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t the only good will the less fortunate received from SGA. The Just 1 Book drive was collected books to give to libraries and schools located in areas of a lower socioeconomic status.
“The organization Just One Book was something I had heard about from another student at Boone. All the SGA officers came together and found a way to organize and innovate an event for this cause. We all felt so passionate about,” Francis said.
Due to the efforts of SGA members, they collected 3,500 books by the end of November.
“Giving back is really what SGA is all about,” Francis said. “Everything we do is to better the high school experience in general, or community where we live.”
Francis was recently voted student body president and hopes to make next year just as successful, if not more than this year.
“From taking on so much this year, he’s learned to balance his priorities and he’s discovered his strengths and weaknesses,” Stilwell said.

Students hold their breath as they await to hear who will be playing first chair in the All-‐County band competition. Sophomore flautist Savannah McGuigan earned the coveted spot.
“I get a rush that makes me feel honored to be a part of groups like that,” McGuigan said.
McGuigan started playing the flute in sixth grade. She became interested in playing because she thought the sound of the flutes music was pure.
“She had a lot of natural talent. I wanted to focus all her skills and techniques to put her at a higher level,” music teacher Jose Eslava said.
After four years of playing, McGuigan received the honor of not only playing first chair in All-‐County but in All-‐State as well.
“The intensity level [of All-‐State] was greater because we had to adapt to new surroundings and new people,” McGuigan said.
McGuigan makes an impact in her section in band. She pushes the other players to be the best that they can be.
“Over time she pushed for the group to be a stronger section. I definitely notice a big difference in the section this year,” Eslava said.
McGuigan practices everyday and has lessons from two
different teachers. “[She stands
out] because of how much she works. She always signs up to do extra auditions for honors groups,” Eslava said.
M c G u i g a n also played in an honors band in Indianapolis. She had the
opportunity to perform with world renowned musician, Joe Alessi. She learned much from the experience.
Next year when McGuigan is a junior, she will be in the higher level competition and will have to compete against other juniors and seniors.
“[Next year] I hope to have the same dedication I have now and reach what I was able to this year,” McGuigan said.
For the rest of McGuigan’s high school career, Eslava hopes to see her get out of her comfort zone and have her branch off to other styles of music such as romantic, French and other kinds of classical music, as opposed to the baroque and contemporary she plays now.
After high school, McGuigan wants to continue to excel in her music. Her hopes are to attend Juilliard School of Music and become a professional performer.

Actress gains partBehind the scenes of the Anatomy of Gray
By LIA VILLAR
Set in the late 1800s, Anatomy of Gray centers around a young doctor named Galen P. Gray, played by sophomore Connor Anderson, who saves the life of a young girl, June, played by sophomore Madeleine Scott.
“June [is] a perky 15 year old who lived in a small town but still had a lot of hope. She has this really great spirit, she never gave up and I connected with that,” Scott said.
Drama teacher Tiffany Weagly selected the cast of Anatomy of Gray
to showcase each person’s acting talent.Other main characters included
Homer (June’s friend), played by senior Caleb Roche, Rebekah (June’s mother) played by senior Mallory Paul and Pastor Wingfield, played by junior Clark Thornton.
“[This play is different] because it’s a small cast and [they] did not rely on the set to tell the story,” Weagly said.
Before Scott could play the role of June in Anatomy of Gray, she had to perform a minute monologue.
“I did a lot of research [on the play]. I prepared my audition material for a really long time and it was really emotionally draining,” Scott said.

Republican advocates candidates By COOPER BROCK
November 2012 marked a major political time for the United States, as President Obama ran for reelection against Governor Mitt Romney.
As both sides of the race poured millions of dollars into their campaigns, local organizations such as the Young Republicans club on campus pitched in their help in any way they could.
“Our club handled the election quite well. Quite a few of them worked very hard, more for local candidates than Romney. A lot of them are still very active politically,” club sponsor James Corbin said.
Junior Ivan Khaled, president of the Young Republicans, led his club
through several volunteer campaigns for the Republican Ticket.
From spreading support door to door, registering students to vote, and making yard signs, the Young Republicans not only campaigned for Governor Romney, but also for other local candidates.
One such candidate was Pete Clarke, an alumni running for Orange County District 3 commissioner. Clark and other officers went door to door asking voters to choose Clarke, who ended up winning by the narrow margin of 72 votes, the closest win in Orange County history.
“[The Young Republicans] is a lot more than a club to me,” Khaled

Continuing their Olympic theme, “Passing the torch of tradition,” the Junior Class Council decorated the gym and commons area with the five Olympic rings and Greek columns.
“[The most enjoyable part is] to see everyone’s face when they came into the gym,” Junior Class sponsor Jillian Rodriguez said.
Before one could enjoy homecoming, the Junior Class Council spent September and October planning details, like decorations, food and music.
“My role was interesting and very intense because all of the planning. [I was apart of] ticket sales, ticket design and the float,” Junior Class historian Dinorah Figueroa said.
Dress up days included Summer Olympics 2012, Star Wars, Senior Citizen day, and Crazy Orange and White day for underclassmen or Toga day for seniors.
“[A day that stood out was] senior citizen day because it was funny to watch all the [students in their] wigs [and] in their ugly old clothes, limp around,” Figueroa said.
Yet, with the stress of ticket sales and planning homecoming, Rodriguez enjoyed seeing her officers evolve.

Sony delivers lackluster presentation
By COOPER BROCK
Having been seven years from the release of Sony’s previous gaming console, on Feb. 22, Sony unveiled their next generation iteration of the Playstation, the PS4.
In a conference held in an E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) style unveiling ceremony, Sony announced their newest console would seamlessly integrate social media into every aspect of gaming.
Sporting the new Sony Dualshock 4 controller, lead system architect Mark Cerny explained the functions of the share button, an addition to the gaming experience that allows anyone to share a clip of gameplay, via Playstation Network or other social media sites. Personally, this writer doesn’t think anyone on Facebook cares about how many points one just got on Call of Duty, but can understand the appeal of social network integra-tion.
Apart from social features, the controller now offers a touch pad, which can lead to some interesting gameplay mechanics, as well as annoying gimmicks.
After the disappointing launch of Nintendo’s lackluster Wii U, the gaming community isn’t exactly looking for anymore touch controls.
The actual system, although not shown at the conference, is run by an impressive 8 core dual processor, with 8GB of memory, which can only be found in the most high end gaming PCs. With a few presentations of titles that will launch with the system, Sony showed off the impressive graphical achievements of new system.
Although prices have not been officially disclosed for this new system, rumors of a $429 standard package and a $529 premium edition have circulated the web, along with a rumored release date of early November 2013.
The only real disappointment with the conference, was that besides being able to tweet from the console during a game, and a little fancier hardware, there’s not much new here. It’s still the same old games about the same old things: shoot this, grab this, then shoot that. And for over $400, Sony needs to bring something new to the table, something that’s lucrative and interesting, and not just another way to get access Facebook.
The next generation of gaming is certainly less of a revolution than Sony hyped it up to be. Look for the PS4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center during E3 on June 11, 2013.

Girls work towards state competitionBy COOPER BROCK
After losing seniors at the close of last year’s near state champion season, the varsity girls volleyball team faces a new problem this year: consisten-cy.
“We need to keep siding out and work on executing points from well placed passes. [To fix this] we’ve been practicing a lot everyday, especially on serve returns,” junior Alexandra Harvard said.
Harvard recently recovered from a concussion, pulled nerves in her neck and two slightly rotated vertebrae, which she received while playing an inflatable jousting game at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes event.
“We lost our setter, but it felt like we were losing a member of our family,” junior Kendall Sexton said.
After a visit to the neurosurgeon, Harvard went to physical therapy, and wore a neck brace for two weeks. She missed three games, and was unable to play during the team’s trip to a tournament in South Carolina.
“I felt bad watching [my team play], and after a week, I felt fine. That’s the worst, not being able to play when you feel able to.” Harvard said.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, Harvard joined the team in the game against Cypress Creek. The girls won 3-1, finishing the final game 25-17.
“We definitely did not play to the best of our abilities that night because we did not work our hardest, and weren’t focused,” junior Caroline Jordan said.
Jordan is a third year starter, and says the team’s main goal is to get to states.
To remind themselves of this goal, each member of the team paints her nails purple with the exception of the right ring finger, which she paints orange.
“The orange nail represents the team’s mutual goal to win states, because that finger is where our state ring would go,” Arkeilpane said. “I’d say our talent is spread out more evenly this year, and we can get to states if we have the proper motivation,”
With a record of 9-6, the girls have won a little over half of their games. Although only half way into their season, this is a major change to the near state champion record of 21-9 set by last year’s team.
“Our worst game was against Dr. Phillips,” Sexton said. “We weren’t very positive. Every time we lost a point we could not find our groove to get back into the game,”
The girls lost to Dr. Phillips, 3-1, after losing the first game 25-19, winning the second 18-25 and losing the last two games 25-22 and 25-23.
“People don’t trust each other on the court,” Sexton said. “Last year, we relied on one player, but now we have to rely on the entire team.”
To reach the state competition, the girls will have to win more than half of their next eight games, and win the district competition.
“I think we’re equally as equipped [as last year] to win states this year,” coach Mike Ladewski said. “We just have to get back there. We have a lot better of an attitude this time around, and in the end it is about how hard we work. We are a good team, we just have to be confident in ourselves.”
Tonight, the girls are off to the Tampa Invitational, which will be resumed tomorrow morning. Their next home game will be on Wednesday, Oct. 12, against University.

With custom made burgers, “hipster” hot dogs and frozen custard, Burgerfi is a modern take of the perfect burger of Five Guys, the hip and healthy atmosphere of Chipotle.
Located on the thriving Park Avenue strip in Winter Park, Burgerfi pulls off the ultramodern look well, featuring wood walled interior with stainless steel furniture, giving off the look of a log cabin furnished by Ikea.
After placing their order, customers seat themselves in comfortable indoor or outdoor seating. The staff is friendly, attentive, and is helpful to those who have not yet experienced what Burgerfi has to offer.
Burgerfi burgers are made of beef from naturally raised, pasture fed cattle. Each burger is made to order, and then is literally stamped with the Burgerfi seal of approval. A “Burgerfi” logo is branded onto the bun of every burger. While they do offer other flavorful options, their burger is their staple. It’s in their name.
While their burgers can be ordered in several different forms, the one constant is their natural angus beef, which is a hot and juicy patty that is sure to satisfy any meat lover. With several ways to enjoy them, the burger
is a safe and satisfying choice.For those who are vegetarian, the
Quinoa burger 6.55 is a grilled grain burger that sacrifices meat, but not flavor.
To compliment, fresh cut, heavily seasoned fries make an appearance, as well as an expansive drink selection, due mostly to the Thousand-‐Soda-‐Machine stationed by the cutlery.
From strawberry to coffee mocha, Burgerfi’s milkshakes ($4.47) make a great finale to any meal, arriving in a glass of swirling, creamy flavors. Their custards offer a tasty and satisfying alternative to ice cream and frozen yogurt, with a much creamier taste and texture.
As the food, service and atmosphere are all exceptional, one’s main gripe with Burgerfi will be the gaping hole it leaves in his wallet.
Fries and drinks must be ordered separately, there is no “meal” option on the menu. A single patty burger costs $3.97, a fountain drink costs $2.77, and an order of fries costs $2.97.
While delicious, the food does not warrant such high costs for such humble portions. A burger with fries and a soda, the most basic of meals, costs $9.71 (tax not included).
While expensive, Burgerfi is still a great option for those wishing to experience a stellar burger and superb service on their next Park Avenue outing.

Beverage companies gloss over negative facts behind products
While claiming to boost one’s athletic performance, Gatorade doesn’t discuss the potential disadvantages of its products.
Gatorade was invented by a team of scientists at the University of Florida in 1965 as a way to replace fluids lost through sweat during exercise.
The mixture of water, sodium, sugar, phosphate, potassium and lemon juice, Gatorade, was credited as the determining factor of the Gators’ first Orange Bowl win.
When asked about the game, Bobby Dodd then head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, said “We didn’t have Gatorade. That made the difference.”
Now the official sports drink of the NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NHL and MLS, Gatorade has become a world known brand. Athletes across the globe use Gatorade products and other sports drinks to fuel their performance.
What they don’t know, is that Gatorade has potentially harmful side effects that can actually hinder an athlete, rather than help him. These side effects come from the amount of sugar in Gatorade and its high citric acid content.
“I don’t think athletes would drink Gatorade as much if they knew about the harmful side effects it has,” junior Deion Thomas said.
Every 20 ounce bottle of Gatorade contains 35mg of sugar, which is more than twice the amount of sugar in a half cup serving of ice cream and the same amount as
a fudge nut brownie.While sugar temporarily provides a burst
of energy, due to the rise in blood sugar, it soon turns to a burst of fatigue as the blood sugar levels plummet.
The only way to have sustained energy from sugar is to consume steady quantities of it, which can lead to an upset stomach, further hindering one’s ability to perform.
According to a study done by the Massachusetts General Hospital, sustained doses of sugar can reduce the production of testosterone. An excessive amount of Gatorade could provide that sugar.
Higher testosterone levels promote improved endurance, muscle size and strength. Reduced testosterone from the overconsumption of sugar can hurt one’s game, rather than fuel it.
“That’s crazy,” senior Joshua Green said. “Our coach brought us a lot of Gatorade. He made us drink one after every practice and another before every game.”
Along with hindrance of athletic ability, the buildup of sugar and citric acid on one’s teeth can cause erosion of the enamel, or protective outer coating, according to the American Dental Association.
If Gatorade is consumed excessively without proper exercise, it can lead to difficulties managing one’s weight, due to the sheer amount of carbohydrates in each bottle.
Although able to cause problems in excess, Gatorade is as successful as it is because it has been found through scientific research to be effective.
A study conducted at Wisconsin University concluded that “Gatorade was slightly more beneficial than water regarding
Rated Perceived Exertion and weight change during prolonged exercise.”
“I think people just use Gatorade more than they use water because it tastes better,” freshman Elizabeth Porterfield, sports medicine student, said.
Preference of taste can play a large part in maintaining hydration.
A similar study done at Vanderbilt University found that “for endurance events and athletic competitions Gatorade and other sports drinks are very effective in preventing dehydration and, unlike water, can provide carbohydrate energy to working muscles, stimulate rapid rehydration and can actually encourage you to drink enough fluid to avoid dehydration.”
Though effective, the side effects remained, and in 2011, Gatorade released the G2 lineup, a lower calorie and sugar alternative to the original formula.
While much better for one’s health, G2 never reached the same popularity it’s predecessor reached, fumbling in sales compared to the original Gatorade, due to preference of the original Gatorade’s flavor.
“Gatorade should find another way to make their products healthier, maybe change the formula,” Green said. “G2 tastes like medicine.”
Although effective in most circumstances, Gatorade still has the potential to cause some undesirable effects to those who use it in excess, or without proper exercise.
“I guess it just depends,” Porterfield said. “If you are actually out there exercising, some Gatorade shouldn’t be too bad for you, but if you’re just sitting around it could potentially cause some problems.”
As long as they are active, it shouldn’t be a problem. Gatorade is intended for 90 minute bouts of excercise.
Yes, if consumed consistently, because of it’s high sugar. It can lead to a crash.
Sugar. When you aren’t excercising enough, excess sugar builds up and more is being consumed than can be processed, and the body can’t keep up.
For endurance athletes, original Gatorade supplies the necessary sugars and electrolytes the body needs to replenish itself. G2 is essentially a watered down version of Gatorade, and will not replace the carbs and sugars the body needs to recover.
