Hometown: Madison Major: Business I got arrested trying to run from the cops in a keg costume. My mug shot was even taken!
Freshman year, we were dancing the night away when I jumped and landed on my foot wrong which caused me to sprain my ankle. I was so drunk that I didnt feel the pain and continued to walk on it all night long. The next morning, I couldnt even move it, but I had to drive an hour and a half home with my left foot it was unforgettable thats for sure.

THE
SPOTLIGHT
STUMBLE OUT OF THE GATE
The Bulldog football season got off to a rocky start on September 3rd, losing 35-21 to the Boise St. Broncos. Granted, the Broncos came in with a top-five billing and looked the part. There were some high points for the Bulldogs, though. Tight end, Orson Charles, caught six balls for 109 yards and a touchdown from QB Aaron Murray. Murray himself was pretty sharp, throwing for 236 yards. Down side to the passing game was Murray getting sacked six times. Minus an 80yard trick play, the running game did leave a little to be desired (see inset). Freshman sensation Isaiah Crowell only gained 63 yards on the ground. Linebackers Christian Robinson and Jarvis Jones paced the defense, combining for 24 tackles, 3.5 of them for losses. The Bulldogs have a chance to get it together as they enter SEC play. Hopefully, by the time youre reading this, well be off to a fresh new and winning start to league play!
ATTA BOY BOYKIN! In his first carry as a Bulldog, cornerback Brandon Boykin carried the ball 80 yards for a score. The Bulldog offense is no stranger to having quick corners carry the ball. Champ Bailey was a regular on the offensive side of the ball. Boykin may give the Bulldog that speedy spark that it desperately needs.
SEC Schedule Strength. The Bulldogs face off against some of the best competition in the country. The Bulldogs were not the only SEC team to play a top program to start the 2011 season. LSU took on and creamed the Oregon Ducks in Dallas on September 3rd. Having our conference-mates face top competition is good for the conference in general. Heres hoping we dont beat each other up too bad in league play!

HOT MUSICIAN
COREY CROWDER
Destined To Be A Musician
orey Crowder has captured the hearts and souls of music junkies around the nation with plans of sky-rocketing his career in the next few years. Crowder hasnt always been involved in music, in fact it was at the age of 18 that he even wrote his rst song for his at the time girlfriend who became his wife shortly after. Crowder possesses every aspect of a good ole southern boy with charm, wit, kindness, and joy which are all traits that any listener will nd in his songs. Crowder realized that singing and songwriting would be his future when he was about twenty-one. I saw that it was
actually possible at that time in my life. I saw the business side of the music industry and knew that I could actually make it work, Crowder said. Once Crowder realized his own potential he knew that he was destined to be involved in the music industry. Everybody has skills, its whether or not you choose to focus on those skills. I knew that I could express myself better in a song than in a normal conversation, said Crowder of his musical beginnings. Inspiration is a key factor in any musicians successful career. I draw a lot of inspiration from my faith in God, my creativity is God-given and I have to
give my credit to him, Crowder said. Bob Dylan has also been a key factor in shaping who Crowder is today and the type of musician who has grown to be loved by so many. Crowder, like most musicians, nds his biggest enjoyment from playing live shows. He is an entertainer at heart; he cant help but want to be around others and know that they are having a great time. A lot of people dont get to say that with their careers, entertaining that is, said Crowder. Entertaining isnt the only thing that goes into the music industry, knowing how to handle what it throws your way is a big part of
it as well. It takes more than you can even give to make it in this industry. ese upcoming artists need to know that they cant just sit around waiting for something to happen, you have to get out there and shamelessly market yourself, talk yourself up and eventually others will start to listen, said Crowder, thanks to all my fans because I wouldnt where I am today without your support!

HOW I SURVIVED
A
DeAndreia Joseph Shares Her Personal Story Of Life With Breast Cancer
words: desiree johnson photos: jeff ramirez
s teenagers, girls worry about their hair, friends, the right clothes or the attention of a crush. Its the time when girls are beginning to form their identity, a time that should be free of the stresses of adult life. DeAndreia Josephs teenage experience, was a far cry from typical. When she discovered a lump in her breast at the age of 15, DeAndreia was thrown head rst into a rapidly shifting future. When I was growing up, my mother always recommended that I do self-breast exams because it was something I needed to practice at a young age, DeAndreia said. She didnt anticipate that one of the rst times she would do this, she would detect a problem. When she discovered leakage during her examination, she knew instantly she had to see a doctor. A series of ultrasounds and mammograms revealed she had a lump ectemy that, after further testing, came back benign, or a tumor that doesnt recur or spread to other parts of the body. For now DeAndreia was free of any serious health risks, although she was advised to keep doing her private exams. The Diagnosis Following doctors orders, DeAndreia continued her self exams diligently and at the age of 16 ran into yet another problem.I felt two lumps the size of peas in my breasts, and I knew I had to go back to the doctor. Just like the rst time, one of the lumps returned as benign, but the second lump
came back as malignant, or a tumor that could potentially spread to other parts of the body. At 17, she was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), which is a noninvasive form of breast cancer. When I was diagnosed I was told I could live up to ve years without it becoming invasive, but I wanted it treated regardless. Her next visit included a more complex series of tests. Mammograms, MRIs and ultrasounds helped doctors better understand the nature of DeAndreias case. As a high school student she didnt want to undergo chemotherapy - a process that could potentially rid her of cancer but would have drastic e ects on her body and taken time away from school. e doctors wanted me to wait it out and think it over before I made my decision, but I knew instantly I wanted to have surgery; there was no other option in my eyes. When I initially found out about the fact it was serious enough I had to have some kind of critical treatment I was shocked but I didnt want sympathy from anybody. I knew I was going to be okay, and God was going to take care of me. DeAndreia put on a brave face for concerned family and friends, keeping a positive attitude and trying to focus on the present. I felt that dwelling on the issue wasnt going to correct it or make it disappear, so instead I wanted to face it head on and get to the next course of action. I knew I didnt want to live with this disease.
BREAST CANCER
I Will Survive Now 19, DeAndreia is a breast cancer survivor. She is currently a kinesiology and nursing student and is enjoying college life. Due to her diagnosis at such a young age, she is required to go back for check-ups every six months. Her case still ba es doctors because her family had no genetic history of the illness prior to her sickness, which at a young age is abnormal. DeAndreia doesnt regret having the surgery that helped save her life, and instead she focuses on transitioning into college cancer free. e most inspirational moment she has had since her diagnosis was being surrounded by survivors, family, friends and supporters at her rst Susan G. Komen walk for breast cancer. Seeing people of all ages and backgrounds that shared her experience allowed her to relate and connect. Its brought her comfort. As an aspiring nurse, DeAndreia seeks to promote breast exams for early detection of breast cancer. e best possible advice I can give to anyone who may ever encounter this, whether it be at my age or older, is to be optimistic. A pessimistic attitude wont help. Know that you have a bright future ahead.
IN HER WORDS
My Support System Throughout my whole experience with cancer my biggest support system was my mom and dad. They were there before I was diagnosed and when I was diagnosed they supported me with all of my decisions I made regardless if they approved of them or not. Of course the rest of my family was a big support too; both of my grandmothers came down from Louisiana to take care of me when my parents had to go back to work. My friends who knew about my sickness would constantly call to check on me, some even came to see me and bring me gifts. Family friends also called to check up on me and made short visits. Some of my high school teachers who knew called and texted. When I arrived back at school, they had even organized a basket of all things pink for breast cancer and gave it to me as a welcome back gift. To this day, the teachers I kept in contact with always check up on me, so I guess you could say I had a broad support system, not only from my family but also everyone who was around me or knew me. I really appreciate it because even though I kept a positive outlook on the whole situation having so many people who cared and were concerned was like a breath of fresh air and it also kept my spirits up. Advice For Students The advice I would give to young women my age is to always do self breast examinations and if you dont know what it is to nd out and start doing them. If it wasnt for my mom telling me to do them I wouldnt have found out I had cancer and who knows where I would be today. To the ones who know people who are going through cancer or have had cancer, the biggest thing you can do is keep a positive attitude about the situation because the last thing we want are the people around us to be overly sympathetic with us.
With the type of breast cancer I had, I didnt have to undergo any type of chemotherapy or radiation because it wasnt invasive. I just opted to have my double mastectomy.
In The Pink
ach October there are ambiguous and provocative Facebook statuses. ere are Save the Boobies shirts and bracelets. ere is pink everywhere. October is breast cancer awareness month, but in the midst of these bright and sometimes shocking reminders, we still manage to forget what this means. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. is illness claims the lives of almost 40,000 women annually. Although accounting for only 1 percent of all newly diagnosed cases, nearly 2,000 men were diagnosed in 2010. ese numbers only scratch the surface of those a ected by the disease, discounting the families, friends and loved ones of each victim that su er alongside these women and men, nor do they include the thousands that have already fought to beat this disease and the ones that did not. But ask a breast cancer patient or survivor about their experiences and you will rarely hear a response of a person looking for sympathy. e resilience shown through these struggles, the unsung heroes that have the grace and strength to simply carry on a daily routine while battling this disease exemplify strength and power. ey are our mothers, our teachers, our coworkers, our friends, and they are ghters. It was 12 years ago that I lost my mother to breast cancer. When
Study Breaks gives advice on protecting yourself from breast cancer, giving to the cause and staying in the pink.
diagnosed, she was given six months to live, but, always up to the challenge, she fought through seven years of treatments, including four rounds chemotherapy. Maybe the most remarkable thing was her refusal to let it affect her daily life. Growing up I was surrounded by her fellow patients and survivors that she met with on a weekly basis and never once did it occur to me that these men and women quietly dealt with unimaginable and almost constant pain whether emotional or physical. And my mothers story is not unique. I have never met a patient that showed anything but perfect poise and grace, or heard a story from someone in remission that detailed their pain. Breast cancer awareness month is not designed to draw attention to your own sexuality or the fact that your Facebook status indicates you could be pregnant. So while the inevitable shock campaigns designed to call attention to the issue at hand are going on this October, be sure to remember the roots of what this disease is and why we are taking the time to re ect on it. Use this month to celebrate the lives of those who are currently battling breast cancer and of those who have already defeated it. Use this month to remember those that have lost their lives. Most importantly, use this month to help in the ght against breast cancer.
Evidence shows that breast cancer before the age of 40 differs biologically from the cases faced by older women. African-American women under the age of 35 have two times as many occurrences of breast cancer than Caucasian women under 35.
Women ages 15 to 54 die more frequently from breast cancer than any other type of cancer.
Survival rates of women younger than 45 are up to ve percent less than any other age group.

MTVs Americas Best Dance Crew Winners Season 5 Champions, Poreotics, Break It Down On Living Life As Americas Best Dance Crew
looked promising. Enter Americas Best Dance Crew. On The Way To The Top Poreotics was awarded a standing ovation was awarded after their initial audition for Americas Best Dance Crew and, sure enough, they landed a spot in the fth season series. Its clear as to why they quickly became fans favorites. With the shades, popping with precision, and comical yet intricate choreography, Poreotics was everything viewers wanted in a dance crew and went hard from episode to episode. Experts in popping and tutting, Poreotics were known as dancing robots with a mischievous side in every routine. They Like Chicken, Not Beef To become Americas Best Dance Crew was no easy feat. Because this was their rst time performing together with these six members, they had to quickly adapt to everybodys habitsannoying or not. Being on the show was when they got the closest and learned the most from each other. For the three months of taping, Poreotics shacked up in a hotel with eight other crews and were constantly around one another despite the competition between crews. One would think there would be beef between crews as they all have their eyes on the prize, but it turned out that season ve was one of the friendliest seasons, competition-wise. See, we dont like beef. We like chicken, Charles joked.
o say that Poreotics is on re is an understatement. It has been a year since they were crowned the champions of Americas Best Dance Crew and ever since taking the coveted title, life has turned upside down for these six dancing masterminds. From globetrotting around every major international city to dancing in Justin Biebers Somebody To Love music video, Poreotics has taken a passion of theirs into the dream career. Before ABDC ough Matt Dumbo Nguyen, Can Nguyen, and Charles Nguyen originally formed Poreotics back in December 2007, the six members featured on Americas Best Dance Crew never actually performed all together until auditions for the show. Shortly after the original three members collaborated, Justin Jet Li Valles and Lawrence Law Devera joined the crew. In 2009, Chad Mataye substituted Jet Li in the 2009 Hip-Hop Dance Championships. After taking rst place, Chad was asked to permanently join Poreotics. Dance has always been a part of every members life before the creation of Poreotics. ey have done everything from explosive performances on Americas Got Talent to humble beginnings with crews like PAC Modern Dance Troupe in California where much of their talent came from. It wasnt until after they took home the winning title at the Hip Hop Dance Championships that they decided a future in dancing

Rocketing to Stardom with Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars Fame and recognition came shortly after taking home the grand prize of $10,000 and title of Americas Best Dance Crew. ey took the dance world by storm and continued to relentlessly make it known that they are clear winners and not just by ABDCs standards. In January, after winning ABDC, Poreotics took home rst place at the 2010 Hip Hop Internationals, placing rst in the U.S division and second in the World division. It didnt stop there. Poreotics, in their uniform stunna shades, made an appearance in Justin Biebers Somebody to Love music video with Usher. It was a really great opportunity for us, especially because we got to reunite with other ABDC alumni. We arent like Justin Bieber fanatics, but it was cool being able to work with him, said Dumbo. ey continued to work with the Biebs as his opening act in Manila, Philippines. Most recently, they appeared as the hanky panky masked monkeys in Bruno Marss e Lazy Song music video. Theres No Place Like Home Not only did Poreotics rub elbows with todays most adored artists, but the fame that followed ABDC took them everywhere around the world from California to Canada, Russia, Singapore and even South Africa. Whether they were visiting these international destinations to perform or teach a dance workshop, the guys made time to experience each culture. Where was their favorite country? Australia, de nitely. e accents, people, and parties it was a lot of fun, the crew said. ough theyve been touring the world, they still make time for home back in the Golden State, even if its just for ten hours, to take a break from the life as a celebrity. Weve been really blessed to have this experience and are extremely grateful. Its all the fans, too. Without the fans, we wouldnt be doing what we love to do, said Dumbo.
25 lucky students were picked from a lottery to recieve a private group lesson from Poreotics member, Chad Mayate.

DANCE CREW
D-COY Members: Andi Ho 23 Angelo Kalevela 23 Doug Yoon 23 Haley Jenkins 21 LaDarius Thomas 23 Lauren Rouse 23 Soyun Park 22 Samantha Lie Tjauw 22
here are many dance crews all across the nation but few will prove that they are worthy of the dance enthusiasts attention. D-Coy Dance Crew has the explosive entertainment value that everyone has been looking for in Athens. Dancing is technically just another form of artistic expression, but for the eight individuals that make up D-Coy Dance Crew it is their passion, their drive and the excitement that keeps them going each and every day. Eight Talented Dancers Each dancer come from various forms of dancing which makes up their own form of hip-hop. eir dance skills range anywhere from four years in the studio to seventeen years of practice and dedication. Being in a dance crew is more than just moving to the same beat, it is about feeling a connection with your crew members and vibe-ing o of each other which creates the
family that we have here today, said Samantha Tjauw. Although D-Coy has not been together very long, since September 2010, they have created a true bond together. Dance Crew, Oh Yes! Creating a dance crew may not always come easy, D-Coy was formed out of Pamoja Dance Company in Athens. Most of the members performed with Pamoja but soon they were all graduating. Lauren Rouse sent out an email to her fellow dancing peers asking if they wanted to form their own dance crew to be able to still see each other and dance together. Everyone agreed on the idea, and D-Coy Dance Crew was born. When asked about the formation of the dance crew name Rouses said, e title of the email that was sent out about forming the dance crew had a subject line of Dance Crew, Oh Yes!, so when we put the rst letters together it formed D-Coy!
Do it for love D-Coy doesnt let the fame get to their heads, in fact, Tjauw said, Part of the enjoyment of performing is the lack of pressure. We didnt think that I was going to go this far, we are really excited to have this opportunity. ere will always be someone new trying to make it in the world of stardom but here is some advice from D-Coy, Just do it, make sure that for whatever reason you start the crew that you remember why you started it. Do it for the love of it. We celebrate each others strengths; we dont compete against each other.
To join in on the fun or for their dance workshops, keep connected with them on Facebook and Twitter @DCOYdance.

Polo Club is the shit! I feel like I should start with that because everyone needs to understand where I am coming from. The pool is incomparable to any other in Athens, no doubt. I have had the best time of my life at this place. Also, the location is great, the bus is amazing for going downtown and to class and most importantly there are a lot of sexy girls that live here!
