Floridians are worrying less about unemployment than in previous years, according to the 2014 Sunshine State Survey report. Conducted by the USF College of Arts and Sciences and Nielsen Holdings, the lat-est weekly release took an in-depth look at perceived eco-nomic issues.

Though unemployment is still the most cited threat to Florida’s economy, the per-centage of respondents who thought Florida has poor job creation dropped from 51 per-cent in 2012 to 27 percent in 2014.

Survey Director Susan MacManus, a USF political sci-ence professor, said respon-dents nonetheless saw room for improvement, including areas of the economy other than unemployment.

“Floridians acknowledge that the economy is improving a bit,” she said. “But the key finding is that there are a lot of other signs of anxiety.”

The second biggest named threat to the economy is gov-

ernment waste and inefficien-cy, at 14 percent. Close behind, at 12 percent, is undocument-ed workers/residents.

Concern over the economic impact of climate change dou-

bled from 3 percent in 2012 to 6 percent in 2014. MacManus said this was likely due to increased environmental activ-ism in Florida.

When asked the best path to economic expansion, 61 per-cent of respondents said the state offering incentives for businesses to move to Florida was a job creation tool rather

than corporate welfare. Regarding the potential

impact raising the minimum wage would have on the econ-omy, Floridians were evenly divided on whether it would hurt businesses.

“The question wasn’t wheth-er people were in favor of rais-ing it or not,” MacManus said. “It was more whether it would impact the economy. Would it improve the economy or would it keep small businesses from hiring more?”

Opposition for raising the minimum wage was strongest in central Florida. MacManus said this was likely because of a higher concentration of small businesses that may not be able to afford full-time employ-ees.

On a personal level, 10 per-cent of those who responded said unemployment was the greatest stress on personal finances, while 9 percent said it was an increase in the cost of basic necessities, such as food.

In the initial release of the 2014 Sunshine State Survey, which gave an overall view of the issues, the economy was

Students who recent-ly used their NetIDs and passwords on the website GetStudyRoom.com may have had their Canvas and student email account infor-mation compromised, accord-ing to Information Technology Director Alex Campoe.

The IT Department was made aware of the secu-rity breach around 3 p.m. Thursday.

GetStudyRoom.com adver-tises itself as a way for USF

students to communicate with their classmates about cours-es, get help on homework and share information such as where someone can find a cheaper version of a textbook.

Campoe said the website stored students’ NetIDs and passwords when students entered them. The website used the information to access students’ Canvas accounts to view who was in the stu-dents’ classes. They then used the information to send out fake emails to students’ class-mates to get them to create an account on the site.

The IT Department has already identified approxi-mately 600 affected stu-dents and forced them to change their passwords, Campoe said. According to GetStudyRoom.com, over 3,200 USF students have signed up for the website.

“There’s really no difference between (the website) and a phishing scheme where peo-ple send you an email asking you to send them your cre-dentials,” he said. “The only difference is that this was a website.”

Campoe said students

should not, under any circum-stances, give out their NetID information to a third party.

Students who have already set up an account on GetStudyRoom.com and have yet to be contacted by the IT Department are advised to change their NetID passwords.

“There are certain things you just don’t share, and you can’t just assume, ‘Well, it’s just my USF password,’” Campoe said. “They could have just as easily gone and dropped everyone from their classes. … Don’t share your passwords; that’s all it boils down to.”

USF survey reflects views of anxiety, optimism toward Florida economy

USF University Police (UP) arrested a member of the cus-todial staff Saturday evening on a charge of making terroristic threats to a public school.

The suspect, Kyle Parramore of Wesley Chapel, allegedly wrote an online post Sept. 12 threatening to shoot up Ironton Elementary and Middle Schools in Ohio.

“The FBI contacted us and we quickly picked up Parramore at the Social Sciences building, where he was working at the time, without any problems,” UP Assistant Chief Chris Daniel said.

According to an article on WTSP.com, the threat caused all schools in Lawrence County, Ohio to be placed on lockdown.

It is currently unknown whether Parramore is connect-ed to the middle school. He will be extradited to Ohio from Hillsborough County Jail to face felony charges of terroristic threats and inducing panic.

“In general, it underscores what many people have been talking about,” she said. “Yes,

University Police were noti-fied of an armed robbery Saturday morning, when three USF students reported being approached by two subjects on 42nd Street and Fletcher Avenue, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

Per the report, which was also emailed to students by the Dean of Students, the suspects demanded cellphones, jewelry and wallets from the students.

The victims described the sus-pects as two heavyset Hispanic males who drove away in a red Toyota or Hyundai.

In an email sent Sunday evening, USF Dean of Students Michael Freeman requested that students immediately report any suspicious persons and activity to law enforce-ment.

ARTISTS KEEP WHAT FANS LOVE

“Brill Bruisers” by The New Pornographers

The Canadian indie-rock

“supergroup” The New Pornographers released their sixth studio album Aug. 26. This is the group’s latest album since “Together” in 2010.

The first single, from which the album’s title is derived, immediately captures the listener with A.C. Newman’s lead vocals and a symphonic, danceable rhythm. The harmonies from the other members overlap a chorus that states “And the sea was alright/ Yeah it was alright/ It’s all we know/ How to never go back.” The instrumentation, synth and vocals collide in a way that proves the song to be an infectious first single and great start to the album.

One of the best attributes of The New Pornographers is that they are a blended group

of successful musicians that take turns stepping up on lead vocals. Neko Case shows off her incredible talent on “Champions of Red Wine,” Dan Bejar sings the album’s second single “War on the East Coast.” Kathryn Calder sings lead on one of the softer tracks “Another Drug Deal of the Heart.”

The majority of the album has a perfect mixture of harmonies and blended voices that are reminiscent of old rock ‘n’ roll with a new sound that has yet to be explored. Standout tracks also include the hyper “Dancehall Domine,” and with the help of Amber Webber, “Born with a Sound.” The New Pornographers have evolved since their last album four years ago but kept up their signature quirky, danceable sound.

“El Pintor” by Interpol

“El Pintor,” the most recent album released by the New York City band since its self-titled album in 2010, is also the first since the departure of bassist, Carlos Dengler. But the drop to the three-member group did not slow Interpol down, and this new album leaves nothing wanting.

Paul Banks, lead singer and guitarist, added the position of bassist to his repertoire for this album. There is less bass on this album than in their past, but the guitar and drum solos have increased and add a new magic to the group.

The first single, “All the Rage Back Home” begins as almost a whisper until Banks cranks it up 50 seconds in. The chorus ends with, “I keep falling/ Maybe half the time/ But it’s all the rage back home.” A perfect first single, this song reminds fans of the first two albums, “Turn on the Bright Lights” from 2002

and “Antics” from 2004.Other songs that stick out

on the album are “My Blue Supreme,” which feels like a depressive, dreamlike song. “Is someone there? I’m dying to be/ Cruising in my blue supreme.” In “Breaker 1,” Banks’ deep voice chants over a strummed guitar rift and a light stir of the drum before leading into a louder, more passionate bridge. “My achness all of days, surrenders of a wild side/ I’m inclined cause I’ve seen my dreams deep fried/ And I take my turns in stride to speed my feet away.” Interpol has always been a band that writes deeply psychological lyrics to match a dark, riveting sound.

“El Pintor” is an absolute treat, and it shows true growth from the band. Even despite the loss of a member, they stay true to their old sound while still making it feel new.

Fairs leads Bulls to two-win weekend

USF finished its non-confer-ence schedule with a winning weekend, taking two of three matches in the Pitt Panther Invitational.

USF (6-6) began the week-end with a four-set loss to Pittsburgh (11-1) on Friday, but defeated Delaware and Sacred Heart on Saturday to push its record to .500 for the first time this season.

The Bulls’ first victory of the weekend took five sets to nail down because they lost the third and fourth sets, which allowed Delaware (7-8) to take the match into the final set.

Junior outside hitter Erin Fairs had a double-double in the match and led the team

with 21 kills. Sophomore outside hitter

Dakota Hampton contributed a double-double in the critical match as well, recording 11 kills and 17 digs.

The Bulls ended the week-end with a three-set sweep of Sacred Heart (5-7). Fairs led the team with 10 kills in a match in which 12 players saw court time.

After beginning the season with three straight losses at the Mortar Board Premiere, the Bulls have rebounded, win-ning two out of three matches in each of the past three week-ends.

USF will continue on the road Friday when it travels to Oklahoma to play its first conference match of the year against Tulsa. The match begins at 8 p.m.

Bulls lean on offensive line in first conference win

With second-and-goal at the UConn 1-yard-line, the Bulls chose to run the ball behind their 300-pound offensive linemen. Freshman running back Marlon Mack plunged through for USF’s first score with 11:22 left in the first quarter to go up 7-0 on UConn (1-3, 0-1).

In front of a crowd of 11,599 who stuck it out in the pouring rain, the Bulls came out on top in their conference opener, going on to win 17-14 behind a dominant showing from the Bulls’ offensive line.

“One thing about us that’s so good is that we can throw the ball, but we can also pound the ball all game like we did today and make throws when we need to,” sophomore quarterback Mike White said. “We rode the back of our offensive line.”

USF (2-2, 1-0) saw a complete turnaround from last week in the trenches. Mike White had time to set his feet and make throws, something that had not happened in any of the three previous games.

“It wasn’t just the protection,

it was the run game,” White said. “UConn knew, with the weather like that, we had to the run the ball and we still were able to move the ball down the field basically when-ever we wanted to.”

Mack was USF’s workhorse, rushing for 103 yards and a touch-down on a career-high 31 car-ries. This was in part due to the physicality and toughness of USF’s linemen.

After receiving criticism last sea-son, USF’s offensive linemen came into this season with a chip on their shoulders, wanting to prove critics wrong.

The first three games of the sea-son, however, made it seem quite the opposite.

With the absence of senior guard Thor Jozwiak, who injured his shoulder in the first half of USF’s season opener, inexperience and poor play quickly caught up with the offensive line.

Jozwiak, who returned this week, said the offensive line held a players-only meeting last Monday to figure out what they could do to “fix their identity up front.”

“We sat down as a unit, no coaches, and got on the white-board, wanting to establish what

we could do to get better and really play physical,” Jozwiak said.

That focus carried over into Saturday’s game when the Bulls were able to stay on the field and maintain drives, a task not accom-plished so far this season.

The Bulls ran 71 plays against the Huskies defense and held the

ball for 39 minutes compared to UConn’s 21.

“I was really pleased with our offense getting first downs,” coach Willie Taggart said. “We had one drive coming out of halftime where we took about six minutes off the clock. When you can play like that, good things will happen for you.”

Next week, USF’s offensive line will be tested against one of the most physical teams in the country when they travel to Madison on Saturday to play No. 19 Wisconsin in Camp Randall Stadium at noon. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Men’s Soccer

USF (3-3) opened the scoring up in the sixth minute against No. 8 Washington (6-1), but couldn’t hold off the Huskies in a 2-1 defeat Sunday night at Corbett Stadium in front of 970 fans.

Senior forward Kennedy Selorm Adablah scored the Bulls’ only goal of the night on a header off a cor-ner kick from senior midfielder Lucas Baldin.

“I was just doing my part, putting the ball on the box and (Selorm Adablah) was terrific going on the first bolt and headed the ball perfectly,” Baldin said. “He deserves all the credit for the goal.”

The Bulls kept the Huskies from

scoring until the 28th minute of the match when sophomore for-ward Mason Robertson scored on a header from 12 yards out.

After Robertson tied the match, coach George Kiefer said he didn’t think the Bulls made good use of their conditioning advantage.

“We just need to manage the first half better,” Kiefer said. “We gave the ball away a little carelessly down the stretch of the first half and they’re good enough to make you chase. In the second half, we were very good on the ball, and in the humidity, you started to see them fall deeper and deeper and deeper.”

The score remained tied through halftime until the Huskies scored the game-winning goal in the 56th minute on a header from

junior forward Josh Heard.The Bulls outshot the Huskies

10-3 in the second half and Kiefer came away with the impression that they can keep up with any team in the country.

“I give (Washington) credit, but I don’t walk away feeling like they beat us,” Kiefer said. “I feel like if we do a couple things better, then we can play with the best teams in the country, as we showed tonight.”

The loss for the Bulls was their first at Corbett Stadium this season as well as their only match against a ranked opponent thus far.

USF will begin conference play in its next match when it travels to Storrs, Connecticut to match up with UConn at 7 p.m. Saturday.
