Founders of Grocery Defend Business Plan

Respond

By PAULINA GLASS Sun Assistant News Ed tor

As the Student Assembly gears up to vote on whether to approve the proposal to create a store, Anabel’s Grocery, in Anabel Taylor Hall, the project’s leaders have released a plan detailing market projections for the store and estimating the magnitude of food insecurity on campus

The plan, released on Sept 8, details the financial blueprint for Anabel’s Grocery The plan says Anabel’s Grocery will serve as a “healthy, inexpensive alternative” to current on-campus food options Proponents hope to include undergraduates and graduate students in its consumer base

The team spearheading the project led by Matthew Stefanko ’16, S A vice president for finance, and Emma

Public

Johnston ’16, S A executive vice president assessed the need for more affordable food on campus by analysing the 2015 Perceptions of Undergraduate Life and Student Experience and a survey sent out on social media while accounting for anecdotal evidence, according to the plan

“We started a couple years ago with hearing anecdotal stories from administrators regarding food insecurity being a thing on campus, ” Stefanko said “It wasn ’ t something we knew was a problem in these early meetings, but these administrators who deal with the students gave us indication that it is a real problem to be dealt with ”

Some of the data informing the business logistics of the grocery store including average expenditure, rate of attendance and rate of application are based on a social media survey conducted in May 2015, according to the plan

Opinion Research Center to Move to Cornell

By SAMANTHA ACRICHE

Sun Staff Writer

The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, the world’s largest archive of social science data, will move from the University of Connecticut to Cornell University on Nov 7

“Having the Center at Cornell not only signals Cornell’s ongoing commitment to being a world class social science University, but it offers Cornell faculty and students an unprecedented opportunity to research and learn from the data,” said Prof Peter Enns, government, the first executive director of the Roper Center at Cornell “The Roper Center will enhance research, teaching and learning across campus

The center has been located at the University of Connecticut since 1947, but UConn cut its

ties with the center towards the end of 2015 Cornell submitted a full proposal to host the Roper Center last November and was among three universities selected for a site visit during the application process, according to Enns Robert Buhrman, senior vice provost for research, said he believes the University was selected to host the center for its passion for the social sciences

“Bringing the Roper Center to Cornell was a faculty-driven initiative that garnered enthusiastic backing from social scientists across the university and, as the result, received strong support for this transition to Cornell from three colleges, with matching support from the university,” said Buhrman in a University statement

Once it moves to campus,

Bagel Snafu Strikes C.U.

Breakfast arrives week before inauguration

By GABRIELLA LEE Sun News Editor

To u r g u

d staff workers in Day Hall received a pleasant surprise last Friday when 10 trays of bagels, 15 gallons of coffee and 240 granola bars, originally intended as

Elizabeth Garrett’s inauguration ceremony, were prematurely delivered to campus

The sur vey received responses from 149 students

Compared to a University-reported student body of approximately 21,500 in fall 2013, this sample size represents less than one percent of Cornell students Six percent of those respondents said they skipped meals often or very often, and 22 percent said they skipped meals occasionally

In addition, Stefanko said the team consulted results from the spring 2015 PULSE survey, which received 4,892 responses representing approximately 35 to 40 percent of undergraduates Stefanko said that the PULSE survey results were closely aligned with the results of the social media survey, though the PULSE survey actually reported slightly higher rates of severe food insecurity

A woman from Seattle who vacations every August on property next door to the Flynns’ spotted the gold ring underwater along the shore It had the date “2-6-60” engraved inside

She gave it to a year-round resident who learned it belonged to Jim Flynn, who now lives in Tulsa Police say Claude was found wearing a Laurel letterman jacket that did not belong to him He was charged with third-degree burglary, criminal mischief and theft He was released on $3,800 bond

School has Snow Day in August

KEYPORT, N J (AP) On a day when temperatures surged past 90 degrees in central New Jersey, an electrical problem has forced a school district to declare a snow day

Classes were canceled Tuesday in Keyport because of a malfunctioning component at the district's elementary school

Officials cited student safety concerns for their decision, noting the building lacked reliable power That meant students and staff members were facing a day with no phones, Internet or fire alarms

Keyport Superintendent Lisa Savoia tells the Asbury Park Press the district is logging the unexpected day off as a snow day, two of which are built into its school calendar

The district’s schools will reopen on Wednesday

Ansley Jemison, director of Akwe:kon Residence Hall, said his early years spent on the Allegheny Reser vation in Western Ne w York introduced him to the two things that would later shape his life: the Seneca culture and lacrosse

“ It w a s l i k e growing up in any n e i g h b o r h o o d , ” said Jemison, who is also the current d i r e c t o r o f t h e Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse Program

“But there was also a traditional long house that was situated in the Cold Sp r i n g s a r e a I gre w up going to c e r e m o n i e s d o w n there ”

After his father gave him his first w o o d e n l a c r o s s e stick, Jemison said he played lacrosse with other kids on the reser vation

“ T h e r e w a s n ’ t really a formal or a sanctioned lacrosse team at the time,

b u t w e a l l h a d lacrosse sticks and kind of played all the time,” Jemison said While living on the reser vation, Jemison attended a public school with non-native kids from the surrounding community There, he said he experienced a “cultural divide” in native kids’ separation from the rest of the students for their Seneca language class

Culture

Akwe:kon’s Ansley Jemison: A Love For Lacrosse Rooted in Seneca

the Seneca nation

“ The fact that they stuck us in the deep, dark corner of the basement kind of said something to me, in a lot of ways, about the school district’s values and how they valued the Seneca language,” Jemison said A move to Ne w York City later in his childhood introduced him to many cultures beyond that of the reser vation

“ We would get pulled out of class and we would go downstairs into the basement of the elementar y school,” Jemison said “ You felt funny about getting singled out and dragged out of class ”

Jemison said he felt these experiences reflected a deeper disconnect between the school district and

“It was cer tainly a c u l t u r e s h o c k f

r m e , ” Je m i s

n s a i d “ Ju s t i n t h e a p a r tment building that I lived in, there were k i d s f r o m G u y a n a , from Russia and from Yugoslavia ” Ne w Yo r k C i t y, Jemison said, ser ved as his introduction to the world and helped h i m g a i n a d e e p e r appreciation for cultural diversity

“I think it really rounded me out as a p e r s o n , ” Je m i s o n said “It gave me that a b i l i t y t o b e m o r e u n d e r s t a n d i n g a n d a c c e p t i n g o f o t h e r cultures ” W h i l e Je m i s o n l i ve d i n Ne w Yo rk , his father worked as a n a r t i s t i n S o Ho There, he ran several g a l l e r i e s s h o w c a s i n g Native American ar t Jemison said spending weekends with his father introduced him to a ne w side of Native American life

“Being exposed to the Native ar t world and seeing [these galleries], I was able to see both sides of the native world,” Jemison said

Soon, Jemison said found himself moving with his father to Ganondagan Historic Site, a 17th centur y Seneca village, where his father accepted a position as the site’s first director The move gave Jemison a chance to connect with his father and his culture

“A huge par t of my development and my growing up was him instilling a lot of the core values of the H a u d e n

Ganondagan], I was exposed to chiefs, clan mothers, faith keepers and people who were impor tant within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy ”

The move to Ganondagan also gave Jemison the oppor tunity to delve deeper into lacrosse In the local high school, Jemison said he excelled at the spor t and soon found himself winning championships

“I was selected for the Iroquois Nationals under 19 lacrosse team, ” Jemison said “ We had our first international victor y as the Iroquois Nationals ”

Jemison said he later went on to play lacrosse for Syracuse University, where the team made it to the final four each of his four years

“Arguably, we were one of the top four teams in the countr y, ” Jemison said

A f t e r c o l l e g e , Je m i s o n m

d t o Ta o s , Ne w

Mexico There, he explored the Southwest and studied alternative styles of building houses while working a variety of odd jobs

“I did ever y sor t of odd job that you could possibly do just to make ends meet, ” Jemison said

After a chance conversation with a Brazilian coworker, Jemison said he was offered the chance to teach English in Brazil a job he held for a year

“I didn’t speak a lick of Por tuguese, I didn’t really know much about the culture and I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into,” Jemison said

While he said he enjoyed the experience, he returned to his parent ’ s house after a year Soon, ne w oppor tunities presented themselves to Jemison and he began coaching college lacrosse He said he later b e c a m e i n v o l v e d w i t h t h e

Lacrosse Team, eventually becoming its director

Jemison said he is happy now that he can pursue both of his passions: helping students and coaching lacrosse at Cornell He added that he feels especially proud of being a par t of the American Indian Program

“In a lot of ways, the American Indian Program is the benchmark for a lot of other native studies program throughout academia,” Jemison said “ They really do a lot of wonder ful things for young people here at Cornell, and I just feel for tunate that I can be a par t of that ”

Grocery Founders Push for Approval

GROCERY Continued from page 1

Robert Hendricks ’17, co-director of Anabel’s Grocery, said the smaller social media survey mainly served the purpose of collecting preliminary data and generating interest

“That survey was mainly to generate interest in the store and to start gathering information on student grocery habits,” Hendricks said “We also asked the same question from the PULSE poll about food insecurity The numbers were nearly identical However, they are nowhere near as authoritative or compelling as the PULSE data or our qualitative data, since the survey format led to bias We knew this going in This poll was more just to help us get our name out there and get some starting points on our product mix ”

The team considered results from both surveys to estimate food insecurity numbers across the Cornell population

The plan estimates that 118 Cornell students are highly in need of more affordable food options and that 1,693 are in the next lower bracket of food insecure students

In analyzing student demand, the plan then makes market projections Of these two groups of students, the plan estimates 65 percent of those in the first group will apply to use the store and 50 percent of the second group will apply Of the applicants, the plan estimates that 80 percent of those who apply of the first group will actually use the store, and 50 percent of the second group will

The business plan also addresses a third sector of students those who rarely or never skip meals and the plan estimates that of these 11,283 students, 1,381 will end up using the store, making the total number of students accessing the store at an estimate of 1,894, or 13 percent of undergraduates enrolled at Cornell

“We worked with a number of students and administrators and had conversations about the number who we thought would reasonably use the store, ” Stefanko said of the projections

During the debate over whether to fund the store, various community members and student publications, including The Cornell Progressive and The Cornell Review, have expressed concern

with the proposal, saying that its advocates have failed to financially justify their plan

“Given the large amount of money involved, the source of this money and the lack of detail regarding its spending, this resolution should be voted down or tabled for further review,” Casey Breznick ’17 wrote for The Cornell Review

However, Stefanko defended the plan, saying the PULSE survey is a sound source of statistics and that the food insecurity problem is in need of redress

“I would encourage everyone to look at all the information out there We recognize that it’s not a perfect method We are students trying to make the best plan possible,” he said “We are working with a ton of people to come up with projections and we are constantly improving and changing ”

Creators of the project are currently seeking $360,000 from the S A Students Helping Students Fund to cover the store ’ s start-up costs and initial financing, according to the business plan Some have said this is an inappropriate source of funding as this money is earmarked to help financially needy students and should not be risked in a business venture The store ’ s proponents have argued that Anabel’s Grocer y will fulfil the fund’s goal of assisting students in need

After the store receives its initial funding, the team behind the grocery store aims to raise $100,000 during a fundraising season from October 2015 through December 2016 The money will be raised through several methods that include a crowdfunding campaign, a phone-bank campaign and corporate sponsorships, according to the plan

The S A initially approved a resolution to create the grocery store last April, but since President Emeritus David Skorton tabled the proposal, it must be re-approved by the S A before it can move forward If the S A approves the resolution again, it will be submitted to President Elizabeth Garrett and the 4C committee, a standing committee responsible for approving sales, for their decisions

COLA Calls For Investigation Into Qatar Conditions

Qatar, outlining problems concerning working conditions

“In their letter, [the ITUC] outlined some of the problems occurring on these campuses and within the larger Qatari labor system, most notably the exploitative kafala system, ” COLA’s letter states “More than two years have passed since this initial request, but the exploitation in Qatar persists ”

COLA is collaborating with students at New York University and Georgetown University in their campaign All three groups are working combat their own schools’ violations of workers’ rights in the Middle East, according to the COLA release

Additionally, COLA members expressed hope that Garrett’s tenure will start with a “willingness to work alongside students and workers on these issues ”

“Right now, our relationship with the Qatari government is lending legitimacy to this exploitative migrantlabor system, ” the letter reads President [Emeritus] David Skorton was unwilling to act on our requests to address these problems However, with your help, we can take action ”

The campaign’s ultimate goal is to end the universitytolerated abuses in Qatar, according to the release Specific demands include an independent, third-party investigation

of the working conditions, University commitment to respect workers’ rights to unionize and acknowledgement of labor concerns

Ana Jimenez ’18 said she was happy with Lombardi’s expression of concern for the students’ demands

“ The vice president seemed ver y energetic about learning more about it,” Jimenez said “He even said that he would come to a teach-in, so that makes us

think that the administration is open to listening to our voices as well as the voices of Qatari workers and ultimately will be on our side when it comes to labor mispractices ”

The organization will host a teach-in on Oct 1 to raise awareness about the working conditions in Qatar

Democracy & Inequality

There has been much handwringing of late over the growth in economic inequality in the United States

Some see the growth in inequality as a sign that society favors the for tunes of the fe w at the cost of the many One version of this vie w contends that in the aftermath of the economic meltdown of 2008 financial entities have been given a g l i d e p a t h t o s u c c e s s w h i l e o rd i n a r y Americans were left to str uggle as they recover from lost jobs and homes Yet many thoughtful obser vers differ from this vie w, suggesting that the vibrancy of the tech and financial sectors are things to celebrate rather than denigrate While there may be a lag in the distribution of success (as there often is in periods of rapid technological change), overall the prosperity of these leading sectors bodes well for the countr y as a whole

Apar t from this discussion about the

n a t u r e a n d m e a n i n g o f e c o n o m i c inequality in the United States, my own interest

i n t h i s t o p i c c o m e s

f r o m a d i f f e re n t c o ncern namely, what i m p a c t i n e q u a l i t y i s l i k e l y t o h a v e o n

American democracy I do not believe in per fect e q u a l i t y I a g re e w i t h those who contend that the U S was founded o n a c o m m i t m e n t t o equality of oppor tunity rather than equality of r e s u l t s I n d e e d , f o r

o p p o r t u n i t y t o b e m e a n i n g f u l , o n e would expect to see some inequality of results Natural endowments are never distributed equally, but whether a society permits its members to do the most with them is the test of its social character, and for a democracy, a test of its legitimacy Nonetheless, there are many factors that can thwar t social oppor tunity, and diminished social oppor tunity can have a dampening effect on democracy Social oppor tunity depends on many things, like legal equality and fairness, educational str uctures that allow people to develop their talents and economic and social str uctures that make it possible for individual dreams to be realized for those who have the savvy and determination to see them through No society provides all of these things in equal measure to all members of their communities What town you were born into, what local schools you get to attend, what year you g r a d u a t e a n d w h a t c o n n e c t i o n s a n d oppor tunities your family can provide you with all make a difference But when the differences become too great, to the degree that social oppor tunity does not feel like a meaning ful ideal anymore for large sectors of our community, we all should worr y Research suggests that economic inequality has now made it much harder for the children of working class Americans to be successful beyond the level of their parents And for African Americans, this past year has raised fresh concerns about their ability to be treated fairly by our justice and law enforcement systems Both of these issues threaten our democratic community

My own vie w is that for democratic communities to be healthy and vibrant, they need to have shared values that bind them together Historically in the U S , two of those shared values have been a

belief in the impor tance and the presence of social oppor tunity, and a belief in legal fairness If a large section of our community no longer sees social oppor tunity as a meaning ful reality for themselves or their children, then their stake in the countr y ’ s future is likely to be eroded One of this countr y ’ s greatest assets has been our reputation for openness and for being a place where immigrants, the sons and daughters of working-class families, and the descendants of slaves could all succeed Of course this has never been entirely tr ue For too many years religion, skin color, sex and other factors have ser ved as barriers to oppor tunity and fairness But this ideal has bridged the chasm between conser vatives and radicals over the course of our countr y ’ s histor y How does a democracy invest in the future and solve hard problems without a set of shared ideals that bind the community together? What impact does pes-

ness and oppor tunity have on political par-

does that mean for what sor t of laws are passed or what sor t of justice is ser ved? W h

ser ved by the institut i o n s t h a t a re s u pposed to represent all of us? When social o p p o r t u n i t y s t

u ctures narrow and prove meaning ful only for some segments of our community, what have we all lost when the talents and ambitions of individuals of modest means are never realized? How many incredible first generation success stories like those of Sonia Sotomayor, Ben C

Ginsburg, Colin Powell, Viola Davis or Howard Schultz will never be written if our oppor tunity str uctures are allowed to fray?

This Friday afternoon at 3:00 p m in Bailey Hall I will be introducing an acad e m i c p a n e l o n “ D e m o c r a c y & Inequality” that will be moderated by Cornell President Elizabeth Garrett The panel is the concluding event for the p r e s

Cor nell Resear ch Associate to Aid Effor t To Remap Ar ctic in Face of Climate Change

By SARAH CROWE Sun Contributor

In effort to create high-resolution maps of the world’s polar regions for the first time, President Obama announced a White House initiative on Sept 2 in which the ArcticDEM (Digital Elevation Mapping) team, including a Cornell research associate, will create detailed topographic maps of the entire Arctic region

Mi

atmospheric sciences, will be producing these maps alongside others from the

Intelligence Agency and the National Science Foundation The team will create comprehensive, publicly accessible maps of Alaska, the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, Greenland and all land north of 60 degrees North latitude

The ArcticDEM team will create the

maps by combining high-resolution satellite images using BlueWaters, the National Science Foundation’s most powerful science and engineering supercomputer The satellites that will capture the Arctic images, called the WorldView satellites, are powerful enough to map individual houses

“The satellites we’ll be using are contracted by the United States government for both defense and civilian needs They have resolutions that are 30 times more detailed than most usual satellite imagery We can get a 50 centimeter resolution, and sometimes better,” Willis said Willis has been studying and mapping ice sheets around the globe for the past 20 years, but he said he has never participated in a project of this size

these maps will provide climate data that will allow scientists and policymakers to make informed decisions about Arctic development and land management They will also allow scientists to more closely monitor climate change in the Arctic, a region that is more susceptible to global warming than most

“ The effects of climate change are amplified in polar regions, so the Arctic is warming faster than almost anywhere else,” Willis said “For example, a one-degree temperature rise here might be a seven- or eight-degree rise in the Arctic Because all of our satellite images are time-stamped, this map will provide an excellent baseline against which future measurements can be compared ”

“The effects of climate change are amplified in polar regions, so the Arctic is warming faster than almost anywhere else ... a one-degree temperature rise here might be a seven- or eight-degree rise in the Arctic.”

“I’ve worked on large areas before, but this area, the whole Arctic, is vast, ” Willis said The size of the Arctic region is not the only challenge facing Willis and the rest of the mapping team

Although much of land north of 60 degrees north latitude is frozen tundra, the area includes boreal forests as well

According to Willis, the biggest challenge will be properly mapping the location of individual trees

will be part of a government-sponsored team to produce high-resolution maps of the Arctic region

“Forests are going to be difficult, because trees move, ” Willis said “Our technique relies on correlation between imagery, so when a satellite 700 kilometers above the ground takes a picture of a tree and it shifts in the wind when the second image is taken, that creates a problem ”

According to a White House statement,

Monitoring climate change is one of many purposes these maps will serve, as they will become publicly available on Google Earth

“Anyone with an Internet connection in any country will be able to access this data,” Willis said

According to the White House statement, the maps will improve ground and air transportation and promote safe recreation throughout the Arctic

The topographic map of Alaska is scheduled to be complete by mid-2016, and the map of the entire Arctic will be complete within two to three years While Willis may need to make a few fact checking trips to the Arctic, most of his time will be spent calibrating the satellite images from his desk at the University of North Carolina

“I’m really grateful for this opportunity from NSF and the White House,” Willis said This region will go from one of the worst mapped in the world to one of the best mapped I can ’ t even begin to imagine what use people will get from this information ”

FREE EXPRESSION

BY NICK SWAN Sun Contributor

Ornette: Made in America, directed by Shirley Clarke and released in 1984, takes the viewer through the life and mind of jazz artist Ornette Coleman The film documents the talent and genius of Coleman, using methods, then new and unconventional to filmmaking, just as Ornette’s music utilized innovative, free-form concepts that defied the rules of music theory

Ornette Coleman was born on March 9, 1930 in Fort Worth, Texas He was musical from a young age, initially playing the tenor saxophone before switching to the alto saxophone, for which he is most widely recognized Even as a child, Coleman challenged the structure of common chord progressions and harmonic ideas, much to the chagrin and general displeasure of his fellow performers

According to James Clay, a musician interviewed in Made In America, “When he first started playing, people would break his instrument When I first met him in Los Angeles, I walked into a place one Wednesday night, and the entire rhythm section got up and left their saxophone player up there I came to a quick conclusion that this has got to be Ornette Coleman

Coleman recorded his early innovative ideas on two albums for the Contemporary label, Something Else!!!! in 1958, and Tomorrow is the Question! in 1959, which featured a quintet with no pianist, a then in a radical move, removed certain traditional harmonies that allowed Coleman and other improvisors to explore melodic ideas with less constraint

However, Coleman’s most popular work of the 1950s was his album The Shape of Jazz to Come When listening to this album along with the other jazz masterpieces of 1959 Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, or the Dave Brubeck Quarte’s Time Out anyone can easily pick out the dissonance in Coleman's work and understand why it remains today so confusing to many jazz appreciators

In 1961, Coleman pushed the limit of his own free form with the release of Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation This album featured a “double quartet, ” or two quartets playing simultaneously, with soloists improvising over top one another, often with contrasting keys and rhythms It is nearly impossible to follow, but the creation itself is a revolutionary milestone in musical expression

At the time, some reviewers instantly deemed the album a classic, a quintessential work in the free jazz genre, while other critics disregarded it as a jumbled mess of nonsense As Coleman went on to enjoy a long and successful career, more musicians and listeners began to welcome his unique and unorthodox style, and he is now regarded as one of the great jazz masters of the 20th century Ornette Coleman died on June 11, 2015 at the age of 85

Ornette: Made in America is linear in a sense, but unlike other biographical documentaries, does not follow the course of Coleman’s life Rather, the documentary begins in 1983, with the mayor of Fort Worth presenting Coleman with a key to the city and the opening and dedication of the new Caravan of Dreams performing arts center, also located in Fort Worth Coleman performs his 1972 composition, Skies of America, at the opening of the Caravan of Dreams center Skies of America is primarily a symphonic piece, so Coleman performed with both his own band, Prime Time, and the Fort Worth Symphony

A play on the word “ sensate ” (meaning “ aware”), the Wachowski’s Netflix series Sense8 follows the journey of eight people scattered across the world, grappling with various life circumstances, as they find themselves suddenly mentally connected to each other The show begins as each character experiences the same vision of a violent death of a woman named Angelica, who appears to be responsible for their sudden bond

This violent vision is an image I dislike in television: Extremely dramatic cinematography of what appears to be a blonde damsel in distress (Angelica) sitting with two men on either side; broken bodies, bonds and buildings; implied betrayals and tense music However, we quickly realize the two men are not even physically there as the camerawork reveals, the men speak to Angelica in her mind’s eye, talking to her in such a way that they can ’ t be shut out At the climax of this scene, Angelica blasts through her own head with a gun and dies, right after creating the mental and emotional connections that tie together the soon-to-bevery-confused eight lead characters

The whole matter is strangely sensual and intimate when we consider that the crucial conflict of the show exists within the human mind Regardless of my personal tastes, it’s an attentiongrabbing introduction of what will turn into a wild ride The audience is handed questions but no answers; implications but no clarifications For example, who on earth is that creepy guy with glasses? Why was Angelica running from him? On that note, who the hell is Angelica, or the man who appears to be her lover, Jonas? And what are the consequences of this connection made between our eight protagonists?

Questions are the basis for Sense8 eight

very different people with very different lives suddenly connected by visions and emotional bonds that they cannot understand or explain The “ sensates, ” as Jonas, an older sensate from a different group of connected individuals, refers to these linked minds, are scattered across the world Our crew is Riley, a female DJ in London; Capheus, a young driver in Nairobi working to buy AIDS medication for his mother; Sun, a businesswoman and underground boxer in Seoul; Nomi, a trans woman hacktivist based in San Francisco; Wolfgang, a German safe-cracker in organized crime; Lito, a popular actor in Mexico City; Kala, an educated woman in Mumbai preparing for her unwanted marriage; and Will, a police officer in Chicago who appears to have a traumatizing past True to being a series of the sci-fi genre, Sense8’ s plot is riddled with illogical connections, contradictions, and loopholes The psychic connections and abilities are vaguely defined and absurd for example, Sun’s formidable physical abilities could not be so suddenly used by a body not conditioned for her martial arts And of course, being a television series, one can ’ t help but notice how nice everyone ’ s homes are, or how dramatic all their lives are

This last point is of particular interest Every character we encounter does not lead what is perceived to be a normal life at least by standards of our society One is a widely popular actor involved in a three-person relationship; another is a woman having to deal with the issue of her brother’s corruption as he launders money from their father’s business; and yet another is nearly forcibly lobotomized In fact, it almost seems that they cannot have “normal” lives, given their circumstances, and their situations are not made any simpler by the visions and feelings of the others they are inexplicably witness to

And yet this wide range of life experiences is what makes the series so wonderfully worthy of its

rave reviews

Brilliantly, Clarke as the director, uses this performance as the narrator or underlying constant of the documentary, showing fragments of Skies of America as it progresses and then branching off into other interviews or discussions with Coleman and those around him The documentary will periodically cut to shots of a young Ornette Coleman (played by an actor), at times wielding a saxophone and reacting to the world around him Clarke also relies on imagery in many scenes to convey meaning, rather than qualitative descriptions of the events of Coleman’s career

The film examines many of Coleman’s personal influences, such as American architect and author, Buckminster Fuller, who is widely known for popularizing the geodesic dome On Fuller, Coleman stated, “I listened to his lecture, and I was inspired When he demonstrated the way his domes were put together, and how geometric they were done, it blew me away because this is how I write music ” Like Fuller, Coleman was fascinated with the intellectual intrigue of his own field, and he sought to expand and develop this knowledge through his innovations in structure and harmony Coleman also took an enlightening trip to Nigeria after hearing a tape of North African musicians playing together “When I heard those tapes I could see that for once, I would be able to play whatever passed through my heart and head without ever having to worry about whether it was right or wrong ” Coleman was at once intrigued by the high creative aptitude of the Nigerian musicians, noticing a similarity between ideas

Ornette: Made in America successfully emulates the free nature of Ornette Coleman's music, breaking free of the constraints of conventional film making just as the musician abandoned orthodox musical practices It serves as a profound homage to both Ornette Coleman and the freedom of expression or, rather, the freedom of free expression

The documentary will be shown tonight, Wednesday, Sept 16 at Cornell Cinema at 7:15 p m

N e t f l i x : S e n s e 8

Between the eight characters, we see vastly different r e l i g i o n s , moral codes, politics, sexualities, cultural values and senses of identity One is likely to believe that if any of these people had met in reality, they would never had tried to connect with each other But here, they do, and they subconsciously allow their “ seven other selves” (as Jonas likes to say) to come to their aid at their times of need and moments of emotional vulnerability which in turn allow them to form quietly intimate bonds of trust and empathy

Perhaps empathy is what Sense8 is really all about The sensates share moments of weakness, intimate and sensual feelings and bursts of happiness In a world that is so diverse and in which it is often so hard to connect with others, what the sensates have is unique and envy-worthy in that they just feel Through linking these individuals together, the series subtly poses the question what does it mean to be human, if you and I are so different?

The sensates explore this concept as they experience the lives of their fellow sensates We are drawn back to the words of Jonas at the beginning: “Your lives are no longer your own ” He implies that all the sensates are now one being, one human, which in itself speaks to the possible depths of the human being as we are given layers of personhood, first in the individual sensate and then in the cluster of connected sensates The

bonds of the sensates can be seen as complete, irrevocable empathy for others

In that sense, while the show revolves around eight people, it is also very much about the self and learning to love oneself through connections to others Nomi, the sensate in San Francisco, says at one point: The real violence, the violence I realized was unforgivable, is the violence that we do to ourselves, when we ’ re too afraid to be who we really are

The sensates all carry scars; They fight against themselves unwittingly and fail to move forward for some time But through the series, their barriers are broken down by the bonds (albeit rather forcibly) and they both consciously and subconsciously draw inspiration and courage from each other: give and receive small bits of wisdom, sing and smoke together, and sometimes can just find a shoulder to lean on It’s of the stuff that transcends individual and physical boundaries, and through the screen, the viewers finds themselves leaning on the protagonists just a little bit as well

Royals Continue to Roll, Defeat Indians 2-0

Alex Rios hits fourth homerun of the year to help Royals win and inch closer towards division title

CLEVELAND (AP) Kris Medlen allowed five hits over 6 1-3 innings and Alex Rios connected for a home run that launched some unintentional fireworks, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 2-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night

Medlen (4-1) stifled the Indians before Royals manager Ned Yost turned things over to his top-ranked bullpen Ryan Madson struck out two in the seventh, Wade Davis got through the eighth and Greg Holland worked around a two-on, no-out mess he created in the ninth for his 31st save

Rios homered in the fifth inning off Josh Tomlin (5-2) for the Royals, who won for just the third time in 11 games as they close in on a probable AL Central title

The Indians, who pulled back to 500 for just the second time since April by winning the series opener, fell to 13-6 since Aug 25

Rios put the Royals ahead 2-0 with two outs in the fifth by hitting his fourth homer, a shot onto the pedestrian patio in left that prompted an accidental celebration in Progressive Field As Rios rounded first, fireworks exploded above the ballpark, a tradition usually reser ved for any homer hit by an Indians player

TV cameras caught the fireworks technician with his hands clutching his head after his quick-trigger mistake, which prompted a chorus of boos from the small crowd

It was a hard-luck loss for Tomlin, who had won his previous five starts The righthander gave up two runs and four hits in his

second complete game this month After giving Rios’homer, Tomlin retired 13 of 14 Medlen was making just his fifth start since bouncing over from the bullpen last month The right-hander missed all of last season following Tommy John surger y The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the second on Perez’s RBI single after the Indians failed to catch Mike Moustaskas’foul pop behind the plate with two outs Catcher Yan Gomes yanked off his mask, and looked skyward but couldn’t locate the high pop, which fell untouched about 15 feet from the batter’s box as

To

Urshela helplessly looked on Moustakas made the Indians pay by following with a double off the center-field wall and scored on Perez’s clutch hit

Strasburg Dominates in Victory

Stephen Strasburg gave up one hit

Phillies 4-0 on Tuesday night

Strasburg (9-7) allowed only a single to Cody Asche leading off the

b

a rd grounder to right field He has 27 strikeouts in his last two starts

The hard-throwing righty struck out the side twice and fanned eight of the last 12 batters he faced He

was still firing 96 mph fastballs in the eighth Blake Treinen tossed a 12-3 ninth to complete the shutout

The Nationals have won three straight, but it's seems too late to catch the NL East-leading New York Mets

St r a s b u r g s t r u c k o u t 1 4 o n e other time in his major league debut against Pittsburgh on June 8, 2010 He had 13 in 7 1-3 innings i n a l o s s t o t h e Me t s l a s t Wednesday This was his longest outing since he went eight innings in a win over Arizona on Aug 19, 2014 Strasburg has one complete

game and shutout in his career It was against the Phillies on Aug 11, 2013

Harper drove one out to center field in the first for a 1-0 lead against David Buchanan (2-9) He added an RBI single in the third to make it 2-0 Harper hit an opposite-field, two-run shot to left in the eighth off Adam Loewen

Harper finished 3 for 3 with a walk and four RBIs He leads the N L i n b a t t

e ( 3 3 8 ) , homers (39) and runs (108)

Buchanan gave up two runs and five hits in six innings

The Royals entered batting 280 with two outs 37 points higher than the major league average Trainer’s Room

Indians: Ace Corey Kluber has been cleared to start Thursday’s series finale against Yordano Ventura after being sidelined with a right hamstring injur y Kluber did some infield drills before Tuesday’s game and was cleared by Cleveland’s medical staff The reigning Cy Young winner has been out since Aug 29

UP NEXT

Royals: LHP Danny Duffy had his shortest outing this season against the Indians, who knocked him out with a four-run first inning on May 6 Duffy is allowing lefties to hit just 132 against him in his last 10 starts

Braves Snap 12-Game Losing Streak Against Jays

ATLANTA (AP) Andrelton Simmons' tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth inning snapped a 12-game home losing streak and the Atlanta Braves beat the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 on Tuesday night

Toronto began the night with a three-game lead over the New York Yankees, but the Blue Jays, despite the majors' best record since the All-Star break, have lost two straight

The Braves ended the longest home skid in franchise history They began the game 14-46 overall since July 8

Aaron Sanchez (7-6) took the loss, allowing four hits, one run and striking out one in 1 1-3 innings

Arodys Vizcaino (3-1) faced the minimum in the ninth to earn the win

Find a Team and Stick With It

Payoff greater for life-long fans than for bandwagoners

LEWIS

Continued from page 16

to go watch the Packers play the Dallas Cowboys and since then, the motto of “Packers over everything” has been instilled within me But sadly, not everybody shares this same spirit I still remember when LeBron decided to take his talents to South Beach in 2010 That year, my high school halls were filled with Miami Heat snapbacks, James retro jerseys, and Chris Anderson haircuts The previous year, I can guarantee you that none of this kids owned a piece of Heat mer-

c h a n d i s e They probably had Lakers gear, or maybe a Boston “Big Three” tshirt, or whatever else was trendy at the time And now currently, they probably own a whole bunch of Cleveland Cavaliers stuff Disgusting Bandwagon fans are the nomads of the sports world They are the vultures, the parasites, and the epitome of everything that is wrong with society They pick the hottest team or player at the time, and follow them until they inevitably cool down Then it’s on to the next team or player They only do what’s trendy and what’s popular Bandwagon fans are the type of people that listen to Billboard Top 40 and like Nickelback Bandwagon fans own all of Michael Bay’s films on Blu-Ray and think Chipotle is actual Mexican food

enduring the horribly officiated Superbowl XL; they just get to enjoy the sight of Russell Wilson hoisting up the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy Sure, I’m lucky enough to be living through a great era for Green Bay Packer’s football But I also had to watch Brett Favre throw like two billion critical interceptions that cost us games Sadness and loss is just what comes along with being a fan, and bandwagon fans get to skip over all of it It’s just not right, my friends

Bandwagon fans are the type of people that listen to Billboard Top 40 and like Nickelback. Bandwagon fans own all of Michael Bay’s films on Blu-Ray...

Like every year, a new season of sports brings upon new bandwagon vacation destinations The Golden State Warriors will be a prime destination, of course The cuteness of Riley Curry will be enough to sway bandwagoners young and old, and the likelihood of a Golden State repeat will be enough to convince many other championshiphungry fans to join Warrior nation As Jimmy Garoppolo pictures go virial across the Twittersphere, hordes of females will sure to load up the bandwagon and head towards Foxborough, Massachusetts The fact that the Patriots are also the reigning champions doesn’t hurt as well Teams like the Yankees and Lakers will always have huge bandwagon populations, as their rich histories and enormous amounts of mullah (mainly their enormous amounts of mullah) is enough to attract fans worldwide

Why do I dislike bandwagon fans so strongly? Because they don’t have to experience the lows that come along with being a permanent fan of a team – just the highs They don’t live through the “Curse of the Bambino”; they just get to gloat in the accomplishments of Big Papi and Co They don’t have to dwell in the what if ’ s that Seahawk’s fans had to endure after

But now my fellow sports fans, I offer you a challenge Pick a team to root for and stick with them for the rest of your lives It will be a lot more fulfilling when your team finally does have success Don’t be a Nickelback listening, Michael Bay watching, detriment to society Be a true fan Hop off the bandwagon

the year we ’ re breaking through and it’s cool to be a captain and leading the team in the right direction ”

The Red coaching staff clearly views Hagy in extremely high regard

“Luke Hagy,” head coach David Archer said,” is a really, really good football player ”

As the only captain for the offense, Hagy will take increased responsibility in making sure all personnel know what they are doing Hagy has tried to put himself in a position to answer any question anyone on the offense has

“I try to know as much of the offense as I can, more than just the running back position, so I can help

anybody,” Hagy said “If people have questions, I try to answer them if I can That’s why I try to prepare as much as possible One of the biggest things, as a senior, is that I’ve been there and I’ve had a lot of experience in games, so I know what to expect and I know what to expect in practice for it to carry over to the games ” Hagy said he hopes that he can help use his experiences to help some of the younger players on the squad

“I also know that you can ’ t get too worked up, ” Hagy said “Sometimes, some of these younger guys that don’t have as much experience, they get worked up and they make one mistake

had fresh legs and were able to make an impact for us on Sunday That again speaks to the depth of our team ”

The defining moment of Sunday’s contest was freshman midfielder Jessica Ritchie’s goal assisted by Tate

“The goal in the St Bonaventure game was huge,” Fischer said “Everyone was getting pretty frustrated because we had so many chances to score and couldn’t finish them When we finally got that goal, it was a sense of relief and a confidence boost to keep competing the rest of the game ” Sunday’s game winner showcased a few developing themes of the 2015 season Specifically, the Red has been

getting contributions from both underclassmen and upperclassmen veterans, showing that the team works well together and has depth as a unit

“It’s exciting each game to see players in all grades making an impact,” Tate said “We have great depth to our team and all four years are represented on the field ” Fischer also explained that class year simply does not matter when the women get together as a team

“We never think about class on the field,” Fischer said “We're teammates Even off the field, as seniors, we hang out with the freshmen as much as ever yone else I think Sunday’s goal was a nice example of how cohesive we are as a team ”
