A recording studio is taking the City of Ithaca to court, accusing city officials of deliberately ignoring its rights and causing it to lose “countless existing and future bookings ” The plaintiffs Alexander a n d Do r i s Pe r i a l a s ow n Py r a m i d So u n d Re c o rd i n g Studios, which is located on East Clinton Street The Perialas’ lawsuit, filed Sept 16, says a city project to replace the Clinton Street Bridge substantially disrupted their business for more than seven months forcing them to temporarily stop using t h e i r b u i l d i n g a n d b l o c k i n g access to their studio

“A l t h o u g h t h e C i t y f u l l y anticipated both disruption to Pyramid’s businesses and potential physical impacts to the building housing the Studio and the Garage, the City willfully failed to take any measures to mitigate, plan for or compensate Pyramid

C.U. to Host Bootcamp for Veterans

By AIMEE CHO Sun Contributor

On Saturday, 20 militar y veterans will arrive at Cornell for the University’s second annual, eightday Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans With Disabilities program

Hosted by the School of Hotel Administration, the bootcamp will train the veterans to star t their own hospitality businesses, according to Prof Neil Tarallo, hotel administration, who is also the director of the program The students will attend classes and lectures on subjects like entrepreneurship, a c c o u n t i n g , m a rk e t i n g , re s t a u r a n t d

p m e n t and menu design, he said

Hotel school and Culinar y Institute of America professors will lead many of the classes, featuring guest lectures from industr y leaders such as Nick Bayer ’00, founder and president of Saxby’s Coffee, Scott Johnson, president of The Basket Company and Harris Rosen ’61, president and chief operating officer of Rosen Hotels & Resor ts Tarallo said that, by the end of the program, each veteran will have created a condensed business plan

“ We u n d e r s t a n d t h a t we ’ re not going to be able to teach them ever ything they need to know about star ting a business, but we can give them a good foundation,” he said

veterans in person It’s really going to be a boot camp they’ll be working and learning for over 12 hours each day ”

According to Tarallo, however, the program will not be all work he and Ciferri have planned a mixer with the Cornell ROTC and evening dinners at Booker’s Backyard Restaurant and The Boatyard Grill

“Because we ’ re a program focused on hospitality, we look at these meals as learning oppor tunities,” Tarallo said “Both of the proprietors of those [restaurants] will be speaking to the students ” Tarallo also said that veterans have a unique advantage when it comes to entrepreneurship, due to the similarities between militar y training and skills needed as an entrepreneur

“ We know from research that veterans are more likely to succeed than any other group of people as entrepreneurs It’s because the training they receive in the militar y parallels the training that entrepreneurs get, ” he said “Soldiers are trained to think that you make a plan, but with the understanding

“I’ve learned that the American dream is still alive, that anybody can succeed in anything they choose to do if they pursue it with passion and determination.”

The entire program, including housing at the Home wood Suites, is provided to the veterans free of charge Funding comes from corporate sponsors like The Water ford Group, Home wood Suites and The Basket Company, as well as alumni donations Additionally, the EBV parent program at Syracuse University provides funding to the seven EBV programs across the countr y Pr e p a r a t i o n s f o r C o r n e l l ’ s E BV b e g a n i n

s another helpful strength

“ There’s a mindset that they need to figure things out, that they don’t just give up easily Entrepreneurs always have obstacles that are put in their way and they need to figure out how to navigate around those obstacles,” he said “ The militar y works the same way ”

Both Ciferri and Tarallo said that r unning the program has had a personal effect on them

Ciferri’s father was in the militar y and her best friend is in the Coast Guard, which she said allows her to relate to the veterans

“[EVB] brings things home to me It reminds me how amazing the veterans are and what they’ve done for us, ” she said

Tarallo added that he has enjoyed witnessing the empowering effects of entrepreneurship on the veterans

Cornell and I.C. Jazz Ensembles Join Forces

By JESSE WEISSMAN Sun Contributor

In one of the first jazz collaborations between Ithaca College and Cornell in recent years, a Cornell jazz ensemble and an Ithaca College jazz ensemble performed a concert together at The Gates Wednesday evening

The two groups decided to perform together at the encour-

“Both groups brought a different flavor.”

I C was more understated; did more with less ” Even audience members who said they were new to jazz said they enjoyed the show

“I never really go to music events or know anything about jazz, but this was a really nice relaxed concer t It definitely makes me want to see what other music is out there in Ithaca,” Emily Kling ’16 said Thomas Smith, a junior at I C and president of the I C Jazz Club, said the jazz scene in Ithaca is vibrant

agement of Prof Greg Evans, percussion, Ithaca College, who is now a visiting lecturer at Cornell

The concert began with the I C Jazz Club performing the first set for about an hour and then the Gussman Sextet the Cornell jazz ensemble following suit A mixture of about 50 Cornell and I C students attended the performance

The I C Jazz club performed a more quiet and melodic set, consisting of classic tracks like “Autumn in New York” by Vernon Duke and “Someday My Prince Will Come” by Miles Davis During the middle of the set, the club invited one of its performers, Jack Storer, who was offstage, to perform on the trumpet His trumpet performance brought applause from many members of the audience

The group also performed “Let’s Cool One” by Thelonious Monk, which bassist Andrew Ryan called the “unofficial anthem” of the I C Jazz Club The Gussman Sextet per formed compositions like “Solar” by Miles Davis a track that is considered one of the great standards of modern jazz, according to Stephanie Lozina ’16 and “Triste” by Antonio Carlos Jobim The group also performed a piece personally written by the band director

Audience members praised the performance

“Both groups brought a different flavor,” said Matt Kelly, a senior at Ithaca College “The

“ The music scene is growing for a small town there’s a lot of stuff going on The Gates is a big center for I C musicians and especially people who play jazz I really think the jazz scene is growing,” Smith said Members of both jazz groups also expressed their hope that the musical collaboration between the two schools will be the first of many

“I’m really stoked that the two schools hung out and made music together,” Ryan said “Hopefully it will be the beginning of a trend ”

It was a sentiment audience members echoed as well

“It’s nice to see both schools reach across the hill,” Kelly said

MGLC May Get S econd Chance at Byline Funding

S A , has written a resolution that, if passed, would allow organizations to apply for byline funding by a second deadline if they can prove they missed the original deadline due to “extenuating circumstances ”

If the resolution is passed, it would not only affect groups who miss byline deadlines in the future, but also retroactively apply this year, according to Pritchett ’15 This would mean the MGLC could resubmit its application

Pritchett said he wrote the resolution because he wants to give MGLC, which he said is a critical part of campus life, a second chance at submitting its byline funding application

“They are an important part of not just our Greek community, but our campus at large; cultural Greek affiliation is critical Their programming, their support networks for students involved, the opportunity to be a part of these chapters is essential to the Cornell experience and the Greek experience at Cornell,” Pritchett said

At Thursday’s S A meeting, Jackson said administrative circumstances prevented its executive board from submitting the byline funding application on time

“Over this past summer, we have lost two positions from our executive board, that includes our vice president of finance and vice president of communications for health and

academic reasons, ” Jackson said to the assembly “The person who knew the most about our financials was our past vice president of finance, so we spoke to her and tried to get information from her, but she was not able to get the byline funding information together by the deadline It was actually submitted to the rest of us a day after the deadline ”

“I thought, ‘is there a way we can give MGLC a second attempt at submitting this application?”

Since current bylaws prevent any kind of adjustment to the deadline for funding applications, MGLC became ineligible for byline funding And although Pritchett’s drafting of the resolution was inspired by MGLC’s circumstances, Pritchett and Jackson said they believe the resolution would help future organizations that run into similar problems

“Even though [the resolution] might seem like a special case, it shows a more general issue of organizations who have extenuating circumstances that occur that do not allow them to meet the deadline,” Jackson said

Pritchett echoed Jackson’s sentiments

“I think any organization that is going through this process should have the opportunity to present its case if a

scenario arises that was beyond its control,” Pritchett said “Whether it’s Slope Day [Planning Board], whether it’s MGLC, whether it’s a collegiate readership program, whether it’s the North Campus programming board, whether it’s an organization that we don’t even have as byline funded right now, if some circumstances arise that are truly extenuating I think they should have opportunity to present their application at a later date ”

The resolution will be voted on by the appropriations committee Sept 30, and will go onto the full S A body on Oct 3 if it passes

Even if it does not pass, Jackson said he still believes that there are alternatives that MGLC can pursue

“We’re looking at a lot of different funding sources contacting our Greek alumni, also looking at the possibility for SAFC funding, and different types of fundraising,” Jackson said “We’re definitely trying to work all our options and see what can be done ”

S A President Ulysses Smith ’14 said the S A is committed to figuring out a solution to MGLC’s funding problem

“I don’t want to see the MGLC not receive any sort of funding at all because that would be devastating,” Smith said

“Despite the City’s best effor ts, plaintiff ’ s proper ty in this case did experience some inconveniences of constr uction, but those impacts were in no way motivated by a ‘personal vendetta’ on the par t of any City staff, as alleged by the plaintiff,” Lavine said “Neither was the posting of plaintiff ' s unsafe building motivated by anything other than the City Building C o m m i s s i o n e r ' s g o o d - f a i t h e xe rc i s e o f her authority to uphold the Building Code and maintain public safety upon identifying a hazardous str ucture ”

Two Fall Elections Uncontested

adding that “[this election] is more or less a random anomaly ”

actually happens a lot during S A elections ”

The fall election for the U A position, however, occurred because only one of the two undergraduate-at-large positions was filled in the spring, Smith said

“There are two U A [undergraduate] positions available to [undergraduates], and they are usually elected in the spring Since only one seat was filled in the spring, the election had to roll over to this fall,” he said

Although the race for the position is usually more heated, the elections this semester for the LGBTQ position had an uncharacteristically low level of participation, according to Smith

“If you look at past elections, the LGBTQ race is usually pretty contested,” Smith said

Hutson said the position has been highly contested in the past,

Although there were people who were interested in running initially, potential candidates opted out closer to the election to be more involved in Haven, which works in coordination with the S A on LGBTQ issues, according to Hutson

The undergraduate-at-large representative for the U A , however, is usually less contested, according to Smith Smith said this could be because the S A works directly with the undergraduate community, while the U A works on a wider scale

“The undergraduate representative for the University Assembly is not usually a heated race Most undergraduates are interested in running to be on the Student Assembly because it maintains jurisdiction over policy areas that more directly impact the undergraduate community,” Smith said McGrath ran for the remaining U A position as a transfer stu-

dent, adding that he thought it was a “really good avenue ” to get involved with the school He added, however, that he did not know the position would be uncontested

“It was a surprise to me I thought there would be other contestants, ” McGrath said McGrath said that this lack of competition can be detrimental to the election process

“Ideally you want to have a number of contestants because you are representing the student body,” he said

However, Hutson said the lack of contestation was actually beneficial for the LGBTQ leadership

“Frankly, having this election be uncontested was very helpful to our community We had someone who was able to start meeting with people,” he said “Hopefully, by the end of the month, I’ll have my first piece of legislation ”

U.N. Security Council Reaches Agreement for Resolution on Syrian Chemical Weapons

t

UNITED NATIONS (AP) The five permanent members of

Thursday on a resolution to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons, a major step in taking the most controversial weapon off the battlefield of the world’s deadliest current conflict

Senior U S , Russian, British and French diplomats confirmed the agreement, which also includes China The full 15-member Security Council met behind closed doors Thursday night, and Britain’s U N Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said he would introduce the text there

A vote on the resolution still depends on how the full council responds to the draft, and on how soon an international group that oversees the global treaty on chemical weapons can adopt a plan for securing and destroying Syria’s stockpile Diplomats said the earliest the Security Council could vote would be late Friday

Both Lyall Grant and a senior U S State Depar tment official described the draft resolution as “binding and enforceable ”

But the draft resolution, seen by The Associated Press, makes clear that there is no trigger for enforcement measures if Syria fails to comply Instead, it states that the Security Council will “impose measures under Chapter 7 of the United Nations Char ter, ” which will require a second resolution

Chapter 7 allows for militar y and nonmilitar y actions to promote peace and security Russia, Syria’s most power ful ally, had opposed any reference to it U S Secretar y of State John Kerr y and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held hastily scheduled talks Thursday afternoon to resolve several last-minute disputes on the text

The Security Council has long been paralyzed in dealing with the 2 1/2-year Syrian conflict, which has killed more than 100,000 people and spilled over the countr y ’ s borders, because of differences between Russia and China, who back President Bashar Assad’s government, and the U S , Britain and France, who suppor t the opposition Russia and China have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions aimed at pressuring Assad to end the violence

The recent flurr y of diplomatic activity followed the Aug 21 poison gas attack that killed hundreds of civilians in a Damascus suburb, and by President Barack Obama’s threat of U S strikes in retaliation After Kerr y said Assad could aver t U S militar y action by turning over “ ever y single bit of his chemical weapons ” to international control within a week, Russia quickly agreed Kerr y and Lavrov signed an agreement in Geneva on Sept 13 to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control for later destr uction, and Assad’s government accepted

Tough negotiations, primarily between Russia and the United States, followed on how Syria’s stockpile would be destroyed

U S Ambassador Samantha Power tweeted Thursday evening that the draft resolution establishes that Syria’s chemical weapons “is threat to international peace & security & creates a ne w norm against the use of CW ”

Rooting Around

Reaching O ver P ri son Wall s

New York State spends about $3 6 billion to operate and manage its 60 state correctional facilities, and at around $60,000 spent per inmate, our state also has the highest tax-payer costs of prisons compared to the rest of the U S While those of us in Ithaca enjoy the quaint, smalltown feel of our upscale rural community, other towns all across the Finger Lakes have an economy based around the importation of inmates from across the country

While I could make an attempt here to describe and critique the political-economy, history and lived reality of the U S penal system, much has already been said by those who are more well-versed than I am Rather than feebly attempt that, I want to equip you with a comprehensive knowledge of resources, so you know exactly what you can do, right here in Ithaca, to experience the other side of justice

For me, my eyes were opened this past Wednesday A friend told me about an event hosted by Cornell’s Catholic community After mass, students gathered to eat a free dinner and read and respond to letters written by prisoners from across the country While this was hosted by the Catholic community, this program is by no means meaningful only to religious communities

Provided through the Prisoner Express program, these letters transport students to a life so vastly misunderstood and incredibly incomprehensible through this wonderful exchange of creativity Not only did I see letters from inmates declaring their innocence, but I also read autobiograhi he scribbled words of the insane and

t easy to frame these experiences nmates in selfish terms, as means rsonally grow, but it’s important to cus on the collectively transformative side of these exchanges

artistic genius abound One utterly inventive stream-of-consciousness piece made me sweat because of its pure rawness

These letters were pushing prisoners’ voices over the walls of isolation and alienation so stringently maintained by prisons everywhere

I particularly remember reading letters from Scott Zirus, or as Texas knows him, #1640002 Scott is a convicted child molester, who came from Australia to temporarily work at a summer camp He was accused of molesting five boys and is now serving 40 years in prison on a plea bargain Regardless of the words “guilt,” “innocence,” “ perverse ” and “wrongly accused,” these letters brought me right into Scott Zirus’s mind If any of you are like me and want to read what is censored or say what shouldn’t be said, then these letters are for you There are few mediums to experience the inner world of an inmate, save for fear-inducing television programs or actually being incarcerated

Luckily, those of us in Ithaca have many resources to help us overcome our justice system ’ s inherent resistance to outsider understanding One example, the Prisoner Express program which promotes prisoner self-expression through a variety of writing projects is sponsored by a little known gem at Cornell called the Durland Alternatives Library Not only does this organization sponsor programs like this one, but it also coordinates a book exchange program, accepting donated books to send off to prisons across the country for the mental growth of prisoners who are often stifled intellectually and spiritually Durland provides community members with alternative, issue-oriented resources that are often unavailable in research and public libraries Like the Prisoner Express program, much of the programming tells stories that are not often highlighted by more popular media outlets

If these books and letters aren ’ t compelling enough, then check out Cornell’s Prison Education program, a collaborative effort between Cornell and the Auburn and Cayuga Correctional Facilities that brings together faculty and students to offer free liberal-arts curricula to select inmates All sophomores, juniors and seniors can apply to be a teaching assistant for the program and actually visit these prisons to help inmates educate themselves and prepare for reentry I am sure there are people in the program that are serving life now, where else can we find pure learning solely for learning’s sake?

It’s easy to frame these experiences with inmates in selfish terms, as means to personally grow, but it’s important to focus on the collectively transformative side of these exchanges Once prisoners and the government-sponsored walls that contain them are identified, experienced and talked about, we can then begin to have a more informed conversation about the meaning of America’s more lofty ideals such as justice, freedom and liberty

Just south of the New York-Pennsylvania border is Loyalsock State Forest, where unique high elevation wetlands, and mature forest ecosystems are home to rare and threatened species such as the Timber Rattlesnake and the Carnivorous Pitcher Plant

However, these 114,494 acres sit atop Marcellus Shale and Houston-based company, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, has been craving to extract gas from beneath this forest APC has proposed developing 26 fracking well-pads along with multiple pipelines, access roads and other suppor ting infrastr ucture on Loyalsock State Forest land, devastating the lively streams that sustain all animals and plant life within this forest

ADC has already proven that it will not respect our country ’ s land, nor its workers In the nearby Sproul State Forest, the company spilled 12,000 gallons of carcinogenic drilling mud It was also a key investor in British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded in 2010, killing 11 workers and releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico APC refused to pay its $272 million share in the cleanup costs of this crisis

rather than an external governing body However, mainstream and even new “ grassroots ” environmental organizations, such as the Sierra Club and 350 org, continue to direct their attention towards Washington, D C In just about every article written by Bill McKibben, founder of 350 org, he makes some appeal for President Barack Obama to “make the right decision ” But no politician ever has and none ever will, when it comes to the environment McKibben’s stubborn faith that the power str ucture will eventually turn around is rooted in the privileged ideology most white men are taught at a young age in our society that if you ask nicely

tinue stating how much we need to stop climate change, only to make activists think he will actually do something if they beg enough While contemporar y activists may be wearing bandanas instead of suits, they are still repeating the same message, appealing to a power that will not listen to them

By directing their attention toward those privileged to be centrally located in our white-supremacist, colonial, patriarchal, capitalist society, these ne w environmentalists ignore the communities in the margins that are most impacted by the environmental degradation These communities are often those tha

enough and play by the rules, those with power will grant you what you want

But, there is hope Marcellus Shale Earth First! members have placed their bodies in ADC’s path through an aerial blockade

One member of group has maintained the tree-sit since Sept 13

Direct actions such as tree-sits, in which communities directly engage with their oppressor, are the ideal form of activism because they reclaim the agent of change as a community

So McKibben has summoned his army of “activists ” They meet at conferences, march with signs, maybe step off the sidewalk, maybe they even get arrested, yet all the while calling for governmental action But what leverage do these government protests have compared to the millions of dollars the gas industry can leverage? Sure, politicians can vote, but honestly, there are plenty more who will fall for the politics of funding Politicians are an ideal tool for the energy industry, not only to roll back restrictions, but also to pacify people who want to take action against it Obama will con-

different entry points into one ’ s understanding of the environmental crisis The privileged leaders of the environmental movement are fired up by scientific studies created by their friends at privileged institutions Their understanding of the environmental crisis is from a global perspective on C02 in the atmosphere and therefore their objective is to reduce these emissions by measurable quantities

least defend themselves in our society because they typically lack class, race, gender, and citizenship privileges But imagine if instead, if these groups went to support community ledinitiatives for public health and directly act against the deadly infrastructure near their homes We could see a true environmental justice movement that combats the intersection of colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism Instead of speaking to deaf politicians, the environmental movement should learn to fall back, listen to those most impacted by the energy industr y and empower communities of resistance that have real power

Perhaps these per verse priorities come from having

Because they are caught in this discourse, they continue to talk about carbon caps and other tactics that can only be made by politicians, not those front-line communities who have all the reason to take necessar y action, if only they had uppor t Rather, their entr y point into the e n v i r o n m e n t a l movement does not come from a scientific study, but from the water they drink, the air they breathe, their family elders who died of cancer or their children suffering from asthma From this perspective, we see that the environmental movement is a social justice movement and if lead by these communities, it has the potential to be truly revolutionary MSEF! is exhibiting the power communities have when they organize among themselves, ignore ineffective politicians and directly act against their oppressor ADC They are reclaiming their power as agents of change against the industry

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT How Far Would You GoFor Family?

On Thanksgiving Day, the daughters of Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) and Franklin Birch (Terrence Howard) go missing from their quiet neighborhood The immediate suspect for their disappearance is the nearby mentally retarded Alex Jones (Paul Dano), who dons the stereotypical pedophile wire-rim glasses and beat-up RV Jones is released, however, when Detective Loki ( Jake Gyllenhaal) can find no viable evidence against him Dover, entirely sure of Jones’ guilt, resorts to kidnapping the suspect himself and torturing him for information While Dover goes rogue in fury against Jones, Loki handles the elaborate and often frustrating investigation to find the girls, who may or may not still be alive Prisoners brings to fruition its central question: “how far are you willing to go for your family?

Directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, Prisoners opened in wide release this weekend to well-deserved praise The film is a wild ride of apprehension, mystery and brutally realistic characters To my delight, Prisoners debuted at the top spot in the box office, beating out Hollywood embarrassments like Battle of the Year In fact, Prisoners might be the first major motion picture all summer that deserves its success

In addition to Jackman and Gyllenhaal, this star-studded cast includes supporting actors Paul Dano, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, and Melissa Leo It is the perfor-

mances of this film that carries the exciting but occasionally clichéd plot The heavy subject of kidnapping and parental misery along with the dark and twisted backdrop of bleak middle-class America creates the perfect combination of slowpaced but high-stakes tension Prisoners grabs hold of you from the very first frame and does not let go

The performances that permeate this film are that of the two stars, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal Jackman, who tends to play more gargantuan roles as in X-Men and Les Miserables, pares down in this intimate portrayal of a distraught parent There is no sign of Wolverine here, nor of Jackman’s trademark Australian accent His rage is real in this film, and his character’s deterioration under such profound stress is perfectly painful to watch

A particularly harrowing scene occurs when Dover enters Loki’s car after a frustrating dead-end in his search for the girls He beats the dashboard and yells at the detective, reminding him that his daughter is waiting for him to rescue her not for the detective The force in his convictions and the exhaustion in his eyes provide important insight into the struggle of a father with a missing child Nevertheless, it is obvious that Dover’s morality and groundedness have completely escaped him in a way that has not affected his wife, nor their friends in the same situation

In fact, a unique aspect of this film is that it is about two families’ missing children, instead of the usual one Terrence Howard’s and Viola Davis’s characters are going through the exact same struggle as the Dover family, but they are hardly present in the film in comparison Why the extra couple then?

Priso ners Directed by Denis Villeneuve Starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhall

It seems the only purpose of this secondary family is to show a variety of coping mechanisms and a contrast to Jackman’s character While Dover tests the boundaries of insanity, the Birch family contains their anxiety Though not exactly innocent, they choose to listen to Detective Loki and pray for the best They also manage to retain their sensibility along the way Where Dover’s character spirals as the film progresses, Loki’s rises to the occasion We’ve seen Gyllenhaal in the role of good cop in the past, most notably in Zodiac (2007) and End of Watch (2012) Nevertheless, Loki’s character, complete with mysterious tattoos and a well-played eye twitch, is strange He is quiet and smart, losing his cool only occasionally throughout the highly stressful investigation, and although he reveals nothing of his life outside the office, he is evidently haunted by his own past Despite his flaws, Loki is intensely likable and becomes the obvious hero of the story

The Hollywood Reporter believes that this may be Gyllenhaal’s best performance, and I will have to agree when they claim that, with this role, he “achieves a new level of complexity ” Gyllenhaal is receiving the award for Best Supporting Actor of the Year at the 2013 Hollywood Film Festival

This film is about tension far more than it is about plot Villeneuve impressively presents an incredibly slow-paced and eerie scenario without letting you relax for a single second It is an edge-of-your-seat movie, without any fast-paced action

The whole thing takes place in just one week and is more than two and a half hours long, but it hardly feels that long

In the end, when the mystery finally comes together, the film becomes a bit disappointing with a formulaic resolution

It is not necessarily predictable, but the final realizations are hardly a surprise This is hardly surprising, considering the basic topic of the film has been recreated dozens of times in recent cinema

Luckily, it is not the kind of movie that cutely wraps everything up and lets you revel in victory for the last ten minutes

Even the very final scene of the film is suspenseful and unsettling, and it closes as it should on a major cliffhanger Go see Prisoners, if only for the thrill of a jacked-up heart rate and a haunting character portrayal, but don’t expect to get over it any time soon

Jason Tyler Paul is one-third of Basic Vacation, a New York City-based pop-rock trio (do the math) whose music has been compared to Foster the People, Fun, Passion Pit even One Direction Last Sunday, the group met with The Sun to talk music, zodiac signs and the origin of its band name

SUN: So, where did you guys meet?

J P : We met, me and Chris met first, actually, in Brooklyn We were just both, you know, musicians playing around locally Doing a bunch of bar stuff, some cover bands Chris and Mike had known each other previously; they had played in a cover band as well You know, just a bunch of different gigs we could get to pay the bills, and eventually me and Chris got together writing some music, which was great Started coming up with some ideas, figuring out what the sound was like, and right at that time Mike’s other band fell apart, which was really good timing, so Mike joined us and then we became the three-piece, Basic Vacation

SUN: What do you play?

J P : I am the bass player

SUN: So, where did your name came from?

J P : (laughs) Oh, God Where the name came from Well, basically, it’s kind of a play on the type of situation you would have on a vacation If you had a really great vacation, obviously you would come home with tons of stories of how awesome it is If you had a bad one, you would come home with stories of how horrible it is, and those stories would still be worth having, though, you know what I mean? So if you come home from a basic vacation, it’s very plain and very boring So I don’t know, it’s just kind of how we felt about a lot of things at the moment We just kind of felt like a lot of things were stagnant, and we wanted to change that

SUN: What do you think of Ithaca?

J P : So far, it feels a lot like home, and I’ve only been here for a few hours, but the people are very welcoming

WThe Rhetorical Question ft. Basic Vacation Har vey Weinstein: A Golden Eye

SUN: Where are you from?

J P : I’m from Florida Chris Greatti is from Morrisville, Pennsylvania Mike Montalbano, the drummer, is from Saddlebrook, New Jersey, and yeah I’m from West Palm Beach, Florida

SUN: What’s your zodiac sign?

J P : I’m a Scorpio on the cusp of a Libra

SUN: If you had to be asked a question in an interview, what question would you want to be asked?

J P : That’s a good question I wish somebody would ask how it feels to walk out on stage in front of a beautiful crowd at Cornell University

SUN: Pretend like I just asked that

J P : Ok, the moment I stepped out of the green room and I heard the roar of the crowd, I knew it was going to be a wonderful night It was fucking awesome I really like playing on stage in front of a lot of people; it’s really cool We had an awesome time I wish we could do this for every show I wish we played Cornell every night

SUN: Did you always know you wanted to be a musician?

J P : Yes I always knew that I come from a long line of race-car drivers, and so I am the weird one for picking music I love music

Mike always wanted to be a musician since he was five years old

SUN (TO MIKE): What’s with the Cornell shirt? It has holes in it

MIKE MALTALBANO: I wore the Cornell shirt, because I feel like I get a little respect when I’m expressing my feelings towards your school I like to be original I think it looks pretty cool

SUN: How’d you meet Chris?

M M : Me and Chris went to music school together in like 2009 and we played together in a previous band and then we both went our own ways in different bands, and then I was out of a different band and he was in a band with Jon, and it just worked out that they needed a drummer

SUN (TO CHRIS): Can I have your story of

hen you ’ re deciding what movies to see this fall, I’d recommend you look to the lower portion of the poster and see if you find the name ‘Weinstein’ That’s because, if you average the Rotten Tomatoes percentages of the movies the Weinstein Company has wide-released so far this year, you’d get approximately 66 7 percent Film studios are rarely this consistently good

This is not new information, of course Harvey Weinstein, the founder of both Miramax and The Weinstein Company, has been on a hot streak since 1992’s Reservoir Dogs, acting as Executive Producer on films such as Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, The Cider House Rules, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, every Quentin Tarantino film, The Artist and Silver Linings Playbook But this year has been a particularly newsworthy year for his two studios So far, they’ve signed a deal with Netflix giving the streaming site the authority to steam all Weinstein-produced films released after 2016, a deal DreamWorks Animation, Open Road Films and Film District already enjoy Further, they had a tabloid frenzy lawsuit with Time Warner over the title The Butler Turns out, Time Warner had a 1916 silent comedy called The Butler, putting the 2013 Lee Daniels film in violation of Title Registry Bureau of the MPAA Although they enlisted the help of David Boies, the attorney who recently brought down the ban on gay marriage in California (Proposition 8), The Weinstein Company ultimately lost and re-titled the film Lee Daniels’ The Butler Most recently, Weinstein has made news for recalling Shane Salerno’s documentary Salinger (see review next week) in response to an overwhelmingly negative critical response (32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) The new edition is said to have cut out features critics particularly disliked, such as trite reenactments of Salinger’s life and overly histrionic music The negative response to Salinger, however, comes in a slew of highly anticipated releases, including August: Osage County and Mandela That two-thirds

how you got the name?

CHRIS GREATTI: I mean, the original thing where I got the combination of the words, was basically I just met this guy in New York walking on the streets and it was just a typical street vendor I was talking to him for five or 10 minutes, and he gave me this book, and I was reading it when I went back and it ended up being a book poems he wrote to his wife or deceased wife, and one of the last lines at the very end of it was, “and at that point we took what we deemed to be a very basic vacation ” That was like two and a half years ago that I got that from him, and I just thought it was a weird phrase, nothing too crazy, but it just kind of stuck with me for a long time When we started forming this band and we were looking for a name, it was just one of those phrases where we were like, “oh yeah, this happened,” and then we wrote it down

SUN: What was your reaction to getting booked with Third Eye Blind?

C G : I thought it was probably going to be the shit, and then I talked to my buddy Joe from Cornell and he was like, “Actually, we sold 4900 tickets out of 5000” a few days ago, and I was like “Oh, well that’s probably going to be pretty fun” and then I found out it was sold out today Obviously, I knew it was going to be fucking sick, I mean it’s Third Eye Blind at a college

SUN: What did your parents say when you told them you were opening for Third Eye Blind?

C G : You know what my mom did? She

percentage on Rotten Tomatoes can only go up However, I m not here to praise the Weinstein Company for its consistent quality or its use of existing talent Lee Daniels, Shane Salerno, Quentin Tarantino (who has a contract with final cut authority) I’d like to call attention to their patronization of lesser-known filmmakers and their efforts to bring their work to a greater audience This summer, Weinstein released Fruitvale Station, a low-budget film made in twenty days by an unknown, recently-graduated film student named Ryan Coogler So far, the film has grossed $15 million It tells the story of Oscar Grant III, a struggling father of Oakland, Calif who was shot and killed by the Bay Area Rapid Transit Police on New Year’s morning 2009 The story unleashed a conversation on race (Grant was black, his assailant was white) and abuses of authority while giving Grant martyr-status in his native Oakland Unless you were from the Bay Area, you likely only heard about the murder and resulting trial upon the film’s release By bringing the story and talent to greater attention, the Weinstein Company showed a rare glimpse of meritocracy in an industry operated by an incredibly small circle at the top The Cornell administration shamelessly cut the film major two years ago so I’m guessing there are not too many aspiring filmmakers out there Film student or not, however, you ’ ve likely heard of how tough the business is How vertical entrance (from the mailroom or production assistant) is unlikely and keeps talent at bay and how horizontal entrance (nepotism, connections) is the more likely path but sometimes produce lesser talent (see, for example, Nicholas Cage and Sophia Coppola, nephew and daughter of Francis Ford Coppola) This is precisely why it’s so important that eyes like those at Weinstein scan the peripheries of the film sphere for talent Although many criticize them for holding a monopoly on the film world, The Weinstein Company showed two exemplary, free-handed moves this year The first: embracing the democratic exchange between audience and producer by cutting segments of Salinger deemed un-

looked up the venue, and she looked up a bunch of videos of the venue and she was like, “Chris This venue is really big ” I was like, “Yeah, I mean I bet it is ” And she said, “This could be a crazy show,” and I was like, “Yeah, we’ll see what happens ” Then I found out it was sold out, and yeah They were very excited, my mom and dad have been extremely supportive since the beginning and since the beginning of me playing guitar, and since this band has been doing stuff it’s been a crazy thing My family and Mike’s family have been crazy supportive and it’s been amazing SUN: So what do you think of Cornell?

C G : What do I think of Cornell? To be honest, Cornell is one of the craziest colleges I ve ever been to I ve never seen a crowd as enthusiastic, as beautiful, as excited, exciting, as Cornell University I love Cornell University You guys destroyed Sucknell today at the football game and it was great I’m so glad that we were able to come here on Homecoming weekend to slay Barton Hall

IOC Claim s No D i scr imination at S ochi O ly mp ics

SOCHI, Russia (AP) The International Olympic Committee doesn’t have the authority to intervene in Russia’s law banning gay propaganda and is convinced there will be no discrimination against athletes or spectators at the Winter Games in Sochi, a top Olympic official said Thursday

Jean-Claude Killy, chairman of the IOC Coordination Commission, gave his stamp of approval of Russian preparations for the games during a news conference at the conclusion of the commission’s 10th and final visit to Sochi before the Olympics, which begin on Feb 7

Russia has come under scrutiny as the next host of the Olympics because of the law passed this summer outlawing “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors,” which many worry may apply to gay athletes and visitors to the games

Killy said the commission considered the issue carefully and in the end was fully convinced that Russia will respect the Olympic charter, which prohibits discrimination of any kind He said the IOC had received written assurances from Russian officials there would be no discrimination

“The Olympic Charter states that all segregation is completely prohibited, whether it be on the grounds of race, religion, color or other, on the Olympic territory,” he said in French

“That will be the case, we are convinced Another thing I must add: the IOC doesn’t really have the right to discuss the laws in the country where the Olympic Games are organized As long as the Olympic Charter is respected, we are satisfied, and that is the case ” Russian officials insist the law is designed to protect children and doesn’t infringe on the rights of gays

“Regarding this law, if people of traditional sexual orientation spread propaganda of non-traditional sex to children, then they will also be held accountable,” said Dmitry Kozak, a deputy prime minister in charge of overseeing preparations for the Sochi Olympics “So there is simply no need to talk about discrimination ”

The Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay rights organization in the U S , condemned the IOC’s assessment of the Russian law

“If this law doesn’t violate the IOC’s charter, then the charter is completely meaningless,” HRC president Chad Griffin said in a statement “The safety of millions of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) Russians and international travelers is at risk, and by all accounts the IOC has completed neglected its responsibility to Olympic athletes, sponsors and fans from around the world ”

He noted that Killy spoke a day after gay rights activists were arrested outside the Moscow headquarters of the Sochi Olympics organizing committee for protesting the law

In Strasbourg, France, a leading European human rights watchdog that counts Russia among its 47 member states said the law “raises serious issues” under its 60-year-old human rights convention

The Council of Europe’s committee of ministers released a statement Thursday that “invited” Russian authorities to take measures to raise awareness about the fundamental rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people Russia was urged to submit a plan toward that end as soon as possible

President Vladimir Putin signed the ban on propaganda into law in late June In August, he signed an addition-

al decree banning all demonstrations and rallies in Sochi for two and a half months around the time of the games, a measure seen as intended to thwart protests by gay rights activists

Killy said the IOC commission was pleased with the ongoing construction ahead of the games, which with a total cost of $51 billion will be the most expensive Olympics in history

Much of the city still looks like an enormous building site, with unfinished hotels and debris from construction scattered across the Black Sea coast, but the Olympic venues are impressive

The coastal venues, where the skating events will take place, are sprawled like beached metallic whales across what used to be a residential coastline The structures themselves are both sleekly elegant and intimate, providing for a close proximity between athletes and spectators

The mountain venues, about an hour by car or train from the coast, are similarly spectacular A network of gondolas, like pulsing veins up the mountainside, whisk visitors up to 2,320 meters (7,650 feet), while the smooth wood of the bobsleigh track zigzags across the lush forest A blizzard on Wednesday coated the mountain peaks in snow, helping to ease worries of a repeat of last year ’ s warm winter

The IOC visit coincided with major storms, unusual for Sochi in September Down the mountain, heavy rain caused flooding and mudslides, leading authorities to introduce a state of emergency

Killy said that despite the rainfall there had been “ no damage anywhere whatsoever” and he was confident that any weather problems “would not stop the games ”

What Will America Do Without Some of Its Greatest Athletes?

dugout when he came out of the game, it was impossible not to think about the imminent end of his career as well

So where do the Yankees stand now? They spent almost two decades building a dynasty around franchise players like Rivera, Jeter and Pettitte (though Pettitte had short stints elsewhere, he remains a Yankee in my mind), bringing more World Series parades to the city then Mets fans can conjure up in their most desperate of dreams Alex Rodriguez’s career is clearly destined for failure, and it will not be easy to resign free agent Robinson Cano, who could have been the new face of the franchise Can someone like Brett Gardner take on this role, as Jeter did when he was named a captain a decade ago?

Maybe this is a premature goodbye to Jeter After all, he will be returning to the Yankees next season But the captain himself is starting to recognize that the end is near After the last home game of the season, Jeter responded to a question about whether he had thought about the end of his career “Before today, no, ” he said “Our team is still trying to win games But today, when you ’ re standing out there for ceremonies and ovations for Andy, that’s when you start to think about it ”

When does it dawn on an athlete that he may simply be watching opening day in less than a year? Rivera was at the point in his career where things could only get worse, and going out as a Yankee, with the honor and integrity that he did, was only expected from such a high-class player For Jeter, injuries have started to take their toll, and it is possible that he is just not physically able to play at the high level he and Yankee fans have become accustomed to Scott Fujita an NFL linebacker for ten years wrote an essay in the New York Times a few weeks ago about watching the first Sunday game of the football season as a retired player “I know I can never play football again I accept that the game has passed me by Physically, I am a shadow of my former self,” he said “And I don’t know if that makes it easier or worse ” It is never easy for an athlete to come to terms with that

Someday it will happen to Kobe Bryant, and Lakers fans everywhere will shed a collective tear; someday it will happen to Tim Duncan, and Spurs fans will have to leave behind all the improbable runs to the NBA finals; someday it will happen to the Manning brothers, to the Williams sisters We can only hope that in this new generation of athletes, there are those that can commit themselves to a team and a city, and show the kind of respect for the game that Rivera has for the past 17 years

It will certainly be a strange sensation to watch a new face come out of the bullpen in the ninth inning of Yankees’ opening day next season

As Fujita said about watching from the stands for the first time: “And as much as I try to deny that reality, Sunday I realized something that I didn ’ t think was possible: I miss it ” Most likely, Rivera will be watching next year as a new song plays when the gates to the bullpen open wide Most likely he will have a similar reaction to Fujita And all we as fans of the game can do is agree We’ll miss him too

In the 68th minute of play, Williams placed a ball in the box to Kirsch Kirsch gave it a go and tried to chip it over Lafayette’s goalie but the angle was too tight and the ball soared over the net

The Red was able to try again in the 90th minute as junior midfielder Atticus DeProspo tried to sneak in and head a long ball in but again Cornell was stopped short

Junior midfielder Conor Goepel led the team with five shots, including three on goal, but the Red could not capitalize on any of them

The team will head on the road to face off against Buffalo on Friday and then travel to Niagara on Sunday

“One of the challenges is playing away and having to travel And also playing two games in one

weekend It will be a tiring experience overall,” Slogic said

Zawislan added that the quick turn around time will be a challenge but getting prepared for the two will be key to the Red’s success this weekend

“Regeneration and recovery are the key [for preparing for the games against Buffalo and Niagara],” he said

The team hopes to close out the weekend with two additional wins and to break the overtime streak

“These two games after coming off of a tie have to be two wins

Our out of conference schedule is coming to a close and it’s very important going into the NCAA that we have multiple wins in our schedule,” Rinow said “ These need to be two wins and anything else is short of what we want ”

Imhotep said of the Bulldogs offense

“It’s nothing that any of us hasn’t seen before, but I think it’s going to be crucial that we get their running backs down, tackle well and get them off the field on third down ”

Cornell contained but couldn’t stop Bison freshman running back C J Williams, who carried 30 times for 148 yards The Red allowed Bucknell to move the chains on the ground 15 times, but Imhotep and the rest of the pass defense were excellent Bison senior quar terback

Brandon Wesley completed only seven passes to seven different receivers for 118 yards

Archer warned that the Red might have a tougher time against Yale’s go-go attack, which has returned senior wide receiver

back Luke Hagy Already tops in yards, Mathews moved into first place all-time at Cornell with 688 completions

The Red would like to get Hagy going on the ground, though, as he rushed for only eight yards on six carries against Bucknell after gaining 528 yards last season Cornell will have to watch out for Yale junior linebacker Will Vaughan, who led the Bulldogs with 10 tackles in last week’s win, and senior defensive end Dylan Drake, who recorded three tackles for loss and a sack en route to sharing Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week honors

“We’re going to have to work hard this week on avoiding getting jammed and held up at the line of scrimmage ”

L u k e H a g y

Deon Randall and junior wide receiver Chris Smith after season-long injuries in 2012

“They have one of the best tailbacks in the League in Varga, and what they did not have last year is Randall and Smith, who are explosive slot receivers that’ll end up all over the field,” Archer said

The Red defense didn’t surrender a touchdown for the first time since 1999 and forced six takeaways against Bucknell Junior cornerback Michael Turner had an interception on the opening possession and a fumble recover y Senior linebacker Tre’ Minor returned a fumble recovery 18 yards for a touchdown, while Watson-Lewis and sophomore safety Bobby Marani also recovered fumbles

Cornell, meanwhile, didn’t commit a turnover It was just another day at the office for the record-setting Mathews, who threw for 285 yards and three scores to sophomore wide receiver Chris Lenz, senior wide receiver Lucas Shapiro and sophomore running

“ They’re ver y physical, and they like to get their hands on us, ” Hagy said “We’re going to have to work this week on avoiding getting jammed and held up at the line of scrimmage ”

Admittedly, the players get a little more pepped up for Ancient Eight contests, and the Red looks to continue feeding off the shot in the arm Archer has delivered to the program

“It counts, ” Imhotep said of tomorrow ’ s battle “[The win over] Bucknell was great, but it’s just kind of a stepping stone in the direction we ’ re trying to go with our program We’ve gotten our feet wet and we ’ re rolling We’re definitely trying to show a lot of improvement from last week to this week ”

Archer, the youngest head coach in the nation, just wishes to avoid the butterflies for his first career road game that inevitably affected him last Saturday morning

“I woke up at like five in the morning, went to Dunkin’ Donuts, went for a run, went to church, drove around I was just doing anything I could to kill energy, ” Archer said “I was exhausted I don’t think I can do that again, so I’m hoping that’s not the case ”

exciting and flattering but it’s definitely not my focus right now, ” Saulnier said

With many of Cornell’s top talents having graduated in the last fe w years, some may vie w Saulnier as the cornerstone of the team

“ The histor y of the team is representative of the histor y of the program The girls who have graduated are always going to be a huge par t of the team, ” Saulnier said “ The ne w girls who have come in will have huge shoes to fill but it just means that that we ’ re going to have to get together and work even harder But I’m confident in the dynamic of the team ”

Derraugh was in agreement regarding Saulnier’s value to the team and reiterated his confidence in her abilities

“Jill has been one of the top players in the ECAC in the last two years so I think it’s fitting that she’s ranked amongst the best for wards in the league She was one of the top players her freshman and sophomore year, and I don’t see why things should change this year, ” he said

As a junior this year, Saulnier already has one eye on the future and it is no surprise that professional teams are keen to snap up one of top young talents in women ’ s hockey Saulnier however, is firmly rooted in the present and her remaining time here on the Hill

“I’m not thinking too much about the future I spent the summer in L A , working with the Kings and the summer before with the Pittsburgh Penguins, so we’ll see, ” she said

The rejuvenated Cornell football team heads to Yale for its first 2013 Ivy League game Saturday at 12:30 p m in New Haven, Conn Last Saturday, David Archer

’05 became the first Red head coach to win his debut since 1990, as Cornell overcame a slow start to explode for 45 points for the second straight Homecoming in a 32-point win over Bucknell

The Red’s 2012 Homecoming rival, Yale, is its next opponent as the stakes

Bulldogs are back | Senior quarterback Jeff Mathews led Cor nell to a victor y over Bucknell last weekend for Homecoming and hopes to take the team all the way to the endzone against Yale

The End of an Era :

Bye, Bye

to the Sandman

On

Illustrated this week, New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera stands tall amid pinstripe-colored words reading “Exit Sandman ” After a 7-2 Cleveland Indians win and an 8-3 Yankees loss on Wednesday night, whispers of an improbable run to the playoffs were cut short, and the all-time saves leader will have to make his last entrance with Metallica’s words at his back in a regular season game Let me preface this column by saying that I am not a Yankees fan

to celebrate the careers of two of the greatest closers in baseball histor y The Mets went on to win that game in the bottom of the ninth when an u n l i k e l y h

blooped a walk-off single against none other than Rivera It was his first blown save of the season, and the first time in his 17-year career that he had ever blown a save without recording an out Rivera had converted 18 straight save opportunities before that one, but already baseball critics were talking about how Mo’s time had finally come

I am a diehard Mets fan, forever plagued by the image of an easy pop fly hitting the glove of Luis Castillo and falling to the ground But as a baseball fan, it is impossible not to respect the career of a player like Rivera, who will likely never be equaled in the success he has had I went to a Mets-Yankees game in May (the Mets were at an almost 500 record, seemingly impossible) where Rivera was honored before the game He threw out the first pitch, with the Mets all-time saves leader John Franco as his catcher It was a heartfelt moment of two rival teams coming together

increase with the first conference action Yale (1-0, 0-0 Ivy) enters the matchup in a familiar position the seventh straight year it plays the Red (1-0, 0-0) in the second week after a non-conference win in the opener but the Bulldogs hope this time to get revenge and improve to 2-0 Yale won last weekend at Colgate, 39-22, and has split those six most recent games with Cornell

“[Last year ’ s game] was a totally different circumstance,” said Archer, a former Red player and assistant coach since 2007 “Yale’s whole team is back and a year older; they’re very talented and very well coached I haven’t brought that game up ” Last Saturday on Schoellkopf Field, Cornell outscored Bucknell 45-3 in the final three quarters as senior quarterback Jeff Mathews threw three touchdowns and the defense forced six turnovers with two

downs Still, Archer said that upon viewing film of the Red’s seventh consecutive win over the Bison, the whole looked much prettier than the individual parts

“There’s still a lot to work on, ” Archer said “Footwork on our offensive line, ball security, tackling technique [and] punt coverage We’ve just got to keep hammering at it ”
