Welcome back to Embry-Riddle!

From The Editor Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a great summer vacation. It is my pleasure to welcome you back to campus. Thank you for your contin-ued readership of The Avion!

Chambellan, Haiti -- A team of professors and stu-dents from Embry-Riddle’s mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and engineer-ing physics departments returned from Haiti on August 26th after a 10 day adven-ture across Haiti. This team, led by mechanical engineer-ing professors Dr. Marc Compere, Dr. Yan Tang, stu-dent team leader Yung Wong and Mr Douglas Murphy of Murphy International, trekked nearly 12 hours through busy city centers, tropical jungle, and mountainous roads to reach the Anne-Clemande Julien Foundation (ACJF) Orphanage and School in southwestern Haiti to install a solar powered water purification system. This system, designed to fill two 600 gallon water tanks at 4 gpm, is currently provid-ing water to not only the children at ACJF but also to the thousands of villag-ers in Chambellan, Haiti without access to clean drinking water.

Through the entire length of the team’s stay, the ACJF caretaker, Mr. Sylvain, graciously hosted the team in the main house. His team of cooks prepared traditional Haitian

dishes and fresh squeezed juice for the team every morning, afternoon, and

evening. None of the students expected this, but it was a pleasant surprise to everyone. All the delicious food kept the team’s energy and spirit high, allowing them accomplish their mission.

As the team began work-ing, hundreds of the local vil-lagers and orphans, many of which have never seen people from outside Haiti, gathered to witness and help with the installation. Excitement and curiosity could be felt in the air as the solar array was unpacked and assembled by students Alena Thompson and Matt Selkirk. Though the air was hot and humid, the team and locals’ enthusiasm to complete the project allowed them to have clean drinking water at the end of the second day. Water samples collected from the well on the first morn-ing by team member Jared Coleman showed multiple colonies of bacteria growing on a petri dish. After a four stage filtration process and

u l t ra -

v i o l e t sterilization, a sample of the purified water showed only one bacteria

colony which indicated that the water was safe to drink and the project was indeed a success.

To show the team their appreciation, the children at ACJF put on a show of traditional Haitian songs and dance that was presented to the team on their last n i g h t . The most memorable moment dur-ing the show was when one of the children defeated team member Johnathon Camp in a game of musical chairs. Sounds of creole cheers roared as they watched one of their own take the win.

“Even though I was beat by a girl at musical chairs, it was a defining moment to hear the excitement of all the children,” said Johnathon. As the show came to an end, a sense of

fulfilment and accompl i shment came over the

whole

team. Special thanks go out to Mr. Douglas Murphy, of Murphy International and Embry-Riddle’s President

Johnson

for their support of the proj-ect. If you are interested in joining the Clean Energy Club at ERAU contact Yung Wong at wongy@my.erau.edu

Students are hypnotized during annual event

On the night of Monday, Aug. 29, it would have shocked any-one driving by the ICI center to see the outrageously long line of students wrapped down the side-walk and around the building. If you were one of those students, though, you would know the crowd came for the highly antic-ipated and wildly entertaining C.J. Johnson. As a nationally-re-nowned comedic hypnotist, C.J. has hypnotized over ten thou-sand people around the country, according to his website.

The performance on Monday yielded loads of laughter from every member of the audience. A few were skeptical about the power of hypnosis at first, but it was not long before they became believers. After hypnotizing eager participants, C.J. effort-lessly convinced them to dance to popular songs like “Grease Lightning”, face-off in body building championships, and cuddle with their shoes as if they were puppies.

Derrick Daughtry’s favor-

ite part of the show was “Brett Louderback’s Steve Irwin impression” after C.J. told Louderback to wrestle a croco-dile.

Several audience members felt the urge to get hypnotized, yet shied away because of the possible embarrassment.

Avril Pryce, one who was brave enough to volunteer, said, “It felt like I was conscious of what I was doing , but I just didn’t care. [Afterwards], people were rushing to show me the videos. As long as the audience enjoyed it, I am happy.”

Amy Luckette, another par-ticipant, said “I felt completely relaxed, sort of like the way you feel right before you’re about to fall asleep…which was nice because I needed some extra rest!”

This year, C.J. added the option of spectators tweeting during the show. These tweets showed up on a giant screen off stage. This definitely added a more personal aspect to the show and served as further amusement.

Marc Gonzales enjoyed the quips because “it was really funny reading what other people

had to say about who was on stage.”

C.J. Johnson’s show was undoubtedly one of the best parts of Orientation week.

Later, C.J. shared that “the challenges [of the show] are dif-ferent every time. At Embry-Riddle, so many people volun-teer so decisions must be made on the fly to accommodate group routines.”

Everything C.J. has learned over the past 25 years “comes together to create a great event that is truly about the people on stage and making them super-stars as well as giving audiences a spectacular experience.”

When I inquired about Embry-Riddle being one of the top schools to perform at, C.J revealed, “Touch-n-Go is amaz-ing and as good as any pro-fessional production company. [Embry-Riddle] is an exceptional group of young men and women and their enthusiasm makes the show memorable.”

It is satisfying to know that C.J. enjoys performing for the student body as much as we enjoy watching.

Professor completes 32 years of dedicated serviceProfessor Tej Gupta has

touched the lives of more than 9,000 engineering students in his academic career of more than 40 years, including 32 years here at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Having taught more than 22 different aerospace engineering and related courses in engineer-ing at the graduate and under-graduate levels here at Embry-Riddle, Dr. Gupta understands what is expected of engineering students.

He continually reminds them in

the classroom that “Math is a tool in your hand and physics is your mental idea, and when you blend math and physics together, you become successful engineers.”

Dr. Gupta’s students can expect to learn a great deal in his aerody-namics courses, especially on the subjects of boundary layers and applied mathematics. When dis-cussing boundary layers, Gupta said the flow of air over a solid body can be divided into two regions: a very thin layer in the neighborhood of the body (called boundary layer) where friction plays an essential part. In the second region outside this layer, friction may be neglected and the flow can be considered friction-

less. This frictional layer creates resistance called drag, specifi-cally in Embry-Riddle’s case, the wing design of an airplane.

“Engineers are generally engaged in the analysis or design of a device that has a specific practical purpose,” said Dr. Gupta. “The cost of operation, as well as performance of the vehicle, is of primary importance. Boundary layer theory plays a dominant role in designing these stream lined (aerodynamic bod-ies).”

Computational methods is another term discussed in Dr. Gupta’s classes. These methods, he says, are the tools in the “air-craft designer’s tool box” that

allows them to complete the job and keep changing over time due to the ever changing technology.

“These computational meth-ods have revolutionized the air-craft design process. It provides detailed information to facilitate the decision making,” said Dr. Gupta. “With the advent of the digital computers and the fast development of numerical analy-sis, a variety of complex calcula-tion methods have become avail-able to the designer.”

Dr. Gupta understands the complexity of his subjects and desires to explain it in basic terms for his students and inspires them in their learning process. He also wishes to pass on some wisdom

to his fellow professors. “A teacher can never truly

teach unless he is learning him-self. A candle can never light another candle unless it contin-ues to burn its own flame,” he quotes.

Dr. Gupta started teaching at Embry-Riddle in August of 1979 as an associate professor. In September 1984, Dr. Gupta was promoted to full professor of aerospace engineering with tenure. He earned his PhD in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech and a MS and PhD in Applied Mathematics from University of Roorkee, India, now known as Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.

Students use UAV’s to help Galapagos Wildlife

On Wednesday, Aug. 31, Jorge Pantoja and his fellow engineers dedicated their night to aiding the environment of the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos are volcanic islands which spring from the Pacific Ocean west of Ecuador and serve as a home for various species of wildlife. The area consists of a national park and a biological marine reserve. The park and reserve aim to protect and sustain the wildlife of the islands, but illegal hunt-ing activities such as shark fishing, are negatively affect-ing the area and its species.

How is ERAU helping the Galapagos wildlife? The students of the Galapagos UAV Project are building air-crafts which will help sur-vey the islands and aid in the protection of the spe-cies. Together, the Galapagos National Park (DPNG), ERAU (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), and USFQ (Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador) have signed a collaboration agreement to help the Galapagos wildlife. Funded by Riddle and USFQ, the project team is building a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles that are expected to be completed and in produc-

tion by summer 2013. Though Daytona Beach,

Florida is thousands of miles away from Ecuador, the stu-dents here at Riddle keep in contact with their col-laborators at USFQ. The combined effort of both universities allows students to work in their area of exper-tise. Together they create, build and test the UAV’s and its systems. Since the aerial fleet and all of its components are being built by the stu-dents, there are different teams within the project. Therefore, each student can work on what they’re interested in. The Galapagos UAV project con-sists of the Airframe team, Engine Team, Communications Team, Autopilot Team, and Catapult/Retrieve Team. Currently, the national park uses a small manned air-plane and boats to survey the area and defend the wildlife. Yet, their current process is not efficient and is an expen-sive monitoring system. One airplane is not able to cover a large amount of land and boats can be seen very eas-ily, so ERAU and USFQ have been assigned an environmen-tal mission to make the moni-toring system more efficient and less expensive. The best way to do this was UAV’s. The aircrafts being built by

both institutions can fly for 12-16 hours and consume very little gas.

The Galapagos project was introduced to ERAU by Pedro Meneses. He is a graduate of Riddle and currently serves as the Chairman of Aerospace Engineering in Ecuador.

The UAV project team is managed by ERAU student Jorge Pantoja. Though he may be the leader, the proj-ect is not an individual task. It is made possible by the effort of everyone on the team, professors and students alike. It is a diverse project and everyone is invited- especial-ly engineers. According to Jorge, it is the perfect oppor-tunity to be able to build a real airplane that will be flown and produced. It is real life engineering experience and environmental friendly. Those interested should visit the project website at www.gala-pagosuav.org (which is still in production), contact Jorge Pantoja or another team mem-ber, Prof. Snorri Gudmun dsson, Prof. Heidi Steinhauer, or Dr. Charles Reinholtz.

Those who join the endeavor and stick around for the long haul will benefit from the experiences that come alongside the UAV project. It is a once in a life time oppor-tunity at ERAU.

A3The Avion, September 6, 2011 student government

Welcome back everyone! This is Justin Fletcher, your Student Government Association (SGA) President, and I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about some of the things that have gone on while you were away for the summer, and let you know what you can expect from your SGA this year.

If you haven’t had the oppor-tunity yet I encourage you to take a walk around campus. I think you’ll find that a lot has changed since the spring. You’ll notice the addition of some modular buildings outside

of Doolittle Hall. It is to these buildings that classes will be displaced when the Academic Complex (Alphabet Soup) is demolished in December. There has also been significant prog-ress on the new Jim Henderson Welcome and Administration Center, on what used to be Spruance Field. The James Hagedorn Aviation Complex is nearing completion and will be officially open later this term.

Across the street we have the significant expansion of our athletic facilities, including the addition of two new fields. You may also have noticed the addi-tion of a new bike path running from Richard Petty all the way to Beville Road. This route is

frequently traveled by our stu-dents, and has often been a safety concern. The construc-tion of this new path will allow significantly greater separation from traffic, and will provide a safer transit for many of our students.

The construction workers haven’t been the only people working around campus. Your SGA representatives have been hard at work this summer to provide you with a few addi-tional comforts for the coming year; I would like to highlight just a few of them. First, you may have noticed some changes to the departure lounge. With the help of Eagles FM General Manager Derek Romanyk we

have purchased our own pool table, and have all the equip-ment available for checkout from the SGA office. We are also currently in the process of replacing the old, broken furni-ture with something a bit more stable.

Second, graduate student rep-resentative Andrew Bellini has worked all summer to provide us with give-away options. This year, we will be doing mini-staplers, car-shades, and large golf umbrellas. Andrew has also worked with facilities to pro-vide bins from which you can take an umbrella if you need one, and in which you can leave yours if you don’t. These bins will increase the amount of time

that these umbrellas stay in cir-culation, which means that you get more bang for your buck.

Finally, College of Engineering representative Sandeep “Sunny” Singh, has been working on our new bike rental program. You may have noticed that at the end of each term, a significant number of bikes are abandoned on our campus. These bikes are fre-quently left unclaimed, and are therefore thrown away. At the SGA, we thought that this was a bit wasteful, and so, with the generous support of facili-ties and parking and traffic ser-vices, we intend to refurbish these bikes, paint them with our school colors, and rent them out

to students. This will reduce the number of bikes abandoned on campus, and put those that are to good use. It will also be one less expense that students will incur, should they wish to ride a bike on campus. This program is very small right now and will grow considerably over the next few years. It is my intention to put Task Force One (the first-year student council) in charge of the program once the organi-zation is established.

As always, If there are any questions, concerns, or sug-gestions for the SGA you can leave them on the SGA web-site. Or, better yet, stop by the office and see us; we would love to hear from you.

“Welcome Back” from SGA President

Vacancy updateFirst of all, I hope every-

one had a great and restful summer break. As the Chair of the Vacancy Committee, I would like to announce that the Student Representative Board has four vacancies to fill for the Fall 2011 through Spring 2012 semester. These vacan-cies are one seat representing the College of Aviation, one seat representing the College of Engineering, one seat repre-senting Housing and Residence Life, and one seat represent-ing International Students. As of right now, students may apply for these vacancies in the Student Representative Board. Applications are available on the SGA website, sga.db.erau.edu, and can be found on the ‘About SGA’ page. All appli-cations are due no later than Wednesday September 14 by 5:00 pm to the SGA Office.

In order to apply for the Student Representative Board vacancy in the College of Aviation, applicants must be undergraduate or graduate stu-dents in the College of Aviation. College of Engineering appli-cants must be undergraduate or graduate students in the College of Engineering. Applicants

for the Residence Life vacan-cy must be undergraduate or graduate students and currently live on campus (or Chanute). International Student applicants must be undergraduate or grad-uate students who are inter-national students. All appli-cants must also have a mini-mum Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.5, have attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach Campus for one full semester prior to running for the respec-tive position, and are taking at least six credit hours. Being on the Student Representative Board also requires at least three hours of service in the Student Government Association Office every week. Student Representative Board appli-cants must have no classes or other obligations on Tuesdays from 12:45 pm through 2:00 pm and must serve as a member of at least one committee and or liaison. The term length for the applicants who are chosen to fill these vacancies will be from the Fall 2011 semester through the Spring 2012 semester.

As a Student Government Association, we look for cer-tain traits and qualities in indi-viduals who are applying to fill these vacancies. Candidates should have great time manage-ment skills, are hard working,

have a positive attitude, excel in their coursework, and are involved in the ERAU campus. Other qualities include integrity and showing passion for our ERAU community. Candidates should also have ideas on how you can improve student life on campus and how you would takes those ideas and put them into action. Our most impera-tive objective in the SGA is to improve student life on cam-pus. If you are chosen for one of these vacancies, it will be your duty to represent the entire ERAU student body.

If you are looking to really make a difference in student life at ERAU, please apply to be on the Student Representative Board. This, as always, is going to be a very competitive pro-cess but I believe competition brings out the best in all of us. The Student Government Association has a lot of big plans for the upcoming year and we would like you to be a part of it. Even if you do not wish to apply for the Student Representative Board, we encourage every student to get involved in our campus com-munity. If you have any ques-tions about the Vacancy pro-cess, please ask us in the SGA office or email me at falklerm@my.erau.edu. Here is to a great and successful semester.

Matthew FalklerCOB Representative

The Daytona Beach campus has adopted a new parking struc-ture to accommodate for the loss of parking spaces due to the con-struction sites. Student Village residents, who now have red decals for their vehicles, have the convenient option of park-ing right by their halls of resi-dence along Richard Petty in the Yeager and Village parking sections (Lots 19 and 20 respec-tively). A few other changes have also occurred and among those changes is the shift from employee parking to commuter

parking in the Citation lot as dis-played in the new map. However, while the map depicts the entire lot as a commuter parking lot, it is important to note that Citation West will be partially blue until the employees move into the new flight building.

Should you have any appeals for parking tickets, they can now be submitted online through ERAU Connection. An added convenience is that tickets can now be scanned and attached to an appeal which negates the need for students to physical-ly bring their tickets into the SGA office. In an attempt to further minimize the use of paper, the decision letters will

be sent electronically to stu-dents letting them know whether they have been found “respon-sible” or “not responsible.” To access the appeal form, under the Student Court Organization in ERAU Connection you will find the “Forms” tab along the side which contains the appeal form. Many relevant documents are also available for students such as the parking color map, Safe Ride Program rules and regulations, student rights and responsibilities, and the univer-sity honor code judicial process.

Thank you and have a great start to the semester. If you have any questions please stop by the SGA office.

Get your moneyIs your club looking for budget

allocations this semester? Well it’s as simple as filling out the Student Finance Board (SFB) budget packet that’s available online now! A budget allocation is the amount of money the (SFB) approves for each club/organiza-tion to use towards expenses asso-ciated with activities and items that are incurred throughout the semester. The SGA fund is avail-able to any registered student orga-nization on campus. To download a budget packet for your club, log-on to sga.db.erau.edu, or type

“SGA” into the URL bar on any school computer. Just click the link on the homepage, fill out some information, and the budget packet will download directly to your computer (don’t download in Internet Explorer, however). It’s important that expenses in the budget packet be itemized and specific as possible with exact or approximate prices of each event or item. Remember, the SGA will not fund for items such as airfare, food, give-away items, or per-sonalized items (such as shirts or jerseys). All budget packets must be emailed to dbsgabp@erau.edu by Wednesday, September 28 by11:59 PM for them to be consid-ered by the SFB. Once the packet

has been submitted, go to http://doodle.com/9ksiytpideppri6f to sign up for an allocation time. The available dates are October 2, 4, 6, and 13. A club can only sign up for an allocation time after their packet has been submitted. All of this information can be found in the budget packet itself. To help with the budget packet process, the SFB and Student Activities will be holding a Treasurer’s Training Workshop on September 20. We will be reviewing how to fill out a packet, show examples of completed packets. A bonus $100 club allocation will also be given away. If you have any ques-tions, feel free to email the SGA Treasurer at sgatres@eau.edu.

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew Falkler. I am proudly one of the College of Business Representatives on the Student Representative Board. This is my final semester at Embry-Riddle and I am majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Air Transportation. I am from Severn, Maryland, which is located in between Baltimore and Annapolis. Being that close to Baltimore, I am a huge Ravens and Orioles fan.

As busy as classes are, I always try to stay involved. Other than being a Student Representative on the Student Representative Board, I am involved with many other clubs and activities as well. I am a Resident Advisor in Doolittle 3rd South, the Vice President of the College Republicans, a member of the Catholic Student Union, and a member of the Firearms Club. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching football, working out, and going to the ERAU Hockey games.

The reason I joined the Student Government Association was pretty simple. I wanted to make a

difference in our ERAU community. For the past three semesters I have voiced the concerns and suggestions of all students, especially from the College of Business, to the SGA and the admin-istration. I will continue to strive in making sure the College of Business is properly represented to the Student Government Association and I will continue to ensure all student suggestions and concerns are heard by the SGA.

This is going to be an exciting and busy semes-ter for the SGA. I am the Chair of the Progress Committee and as a committee we ensure student suggestions are put into action. We also have many exciting projects already in the works which will greatly improve student life. In addi-tion, I am the Liaison for Student Wellness. If you have any suggestions or concerns regarding the Fitness Center or the Health and Wellness Center, please let me know.

Without your support, the Student Government Association is just a name. In order for the SGA to continue to function prop-erly, we need help via your input.

Help improve the Aeronautical Engineering Program!

The Aerospace Engineering Student Advisory Board is a student organization which acts as the official liaison between the undergraduate aerospace engineering student body and the AE department. Consisting of 13 members, the board accepts concerns and ideas for improvement from students in order to better AE courses and the entire aerospace engineering program at ERAU. The board works closely with the AE

department and pushes student ideas and concerns that would be left unheard if backed only by individual students.

The Board, which was rein-stituted last spring after years of inexistence, has vacant posi-tions and is looking for students willing to help improve the aerospace engineering program at ERAU. All undergraduate aerospace engineering students with a CGPA of at least 2.5 who have studied at least one full semester at ERAU are invited to apply.

If interested please send an email to aeadvise@gmail.com to receive more information and an application form.

The Eagles Flight Team (EFT) represents the Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach cam-pus and competes at the annual National Intercollegiate Flying Association’s (NIFA) National and Regional Safety and Flight Evaluation Conferences (SAFECON). The Eagles are now seeking new members for the academic year of 2011-2012. The mass briefing of the EFT will be held on September 6th at 7:30pm in the Willie Miller IC Auditorium. After the briefing, tryouts will begin on every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday starting from September 6th through September 29th and will be followed by an interview with the current EFT members on either October 4th, 5th, or 6th. The tryouts are separated into 3 major ground events which are REC, COMPACC, and SCAN.

REC (Aircraft Recognition)5:00 pm – 6:00 pm (T, W,

Th) -Identifying various air-craft by make and model.

COMPACC (Computer Accuracy)

7:00 pm – 8:00 pm (T, W, Th) -Complex calculations with a manual flight computer such as the CR-3.

SCAN (Simulated Comprehensive Air Navigation) 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm (T, W, Th)

-Planning a hypothetical flight utilizing aircraft per-formance charts, weather information, VFR charts, and answering knowledge ques-tions based on the Federal Aviation Regulations and basic aviation knowledge.

After joining the EFT, new members can then take part in a number of other events for in the spring semester. These include Message Drop, Preflight, as well as IFR & Sims for members with an instrument rating.

Saturday Practice7:30 am - 4:00 pm (Sat)-Flight practice* is per-

formed at the Massey Ranch Airport. Pick up is available

at the flight line. The vans are leaving at 7:30am sharp.

*Flying events are open to members after participating in EFT for 2 semesters.

Potential members are required to participate in the Saturday practice and at least 2 ground events (REC, SCAN or COMPACC). Perfect atten-dance is required for all the practice and chosen events. Special consideration will be given to participants who have conflicts between their flight blocks and the practices.

With members from 10 dif-ferent countries and regions, the EFT is the most diverse team on campus. The team also provides you with a chance to meet friends, build up networks with the aviation industry, and polish your own résumé. The

EFT is also the only group of pilots on campus privileged enough to fly the Cessna 162 Skycatcher.

The EFT has amassed a two decade long domination of the NIFA regional competition and became the first team in histo-ry to compete with the Cessna 162 Skycatcher at the 2011 NIFA national competition. 2011-2012 will be a great year for the team as we strive to take the national championship trophy back to ERAU Daytona Beach. The previous national championship was won by the team in 1992. In the Aircraft Recognition event (REC), EFT successfully placed four com-petitors in the national top 10 and our team encyclopedia Phil Rademacher was the REC champion for the second year

in a row. Phil will be coach-ing the event for the 2011-2012 year. Benjamin Ingraham placed 5th in the power on landing competition as well as 7th in the power off landing competition in the Cessna 162 which was a great result in the planes first ever competitive meeting.

Any student at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona campus can join the Eagles Flight Team. There is no minimum flight time, experience, or rating requirements to become a member of the team (however, some events do have specific requirements).

LTA is the ONLY Way!The Lovely Ladies of Lambda

Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. have been paving the way since 1975 in the US, and since April 2010 at Embry-Riddle. Our principals are Unity, Love and Respect and our colors are Burgundy and Gray. We are the FIRST and ONLY multicultural sorority on campus, dedicated to academics, community ser-vice, political activism and the empowerment of the Universal Woman.

Our National Philanthropy is the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and our Chapter Philanthropy is the Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County. 2010-2011 was our first year on campus as an established Chapter. We put on events such as the Domestic

Abuse Workshop, Merengue and Salsa Classes, Bilingual Mass, Domestic Abuse Clothing Drive, Afro-Latino Connection, Bingo for St. Judes and a Stroll and Salute Exhibition during our Founder’s Week. We also par-ticipated in the Orlando Heart Walk and volunteered at the Orlando Alzheimer’s Walk. In addition, we earned four awards from our Fraternity & Sorority Life Department and two from Student Activities, including Gold Wing status. In the coming year we hope to have an even big-ger presence on campus through our unique Culture and educa-tional workshops that will cel-ebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, Black Heritage Month and our annual Founders’ Week.

Although “Latin” is in our name we are a multicultural sorority and have Sisters in our Chapter with Colombian, Turkish, African-American,

Bolivian, Puerto Rican, Kenyan, Mexican, Filipino and Caucasian backgrounds. We are Latin by tradition, not by definition and welcome ladies from all creeds, orientations and ethnic back-grounds.

If you want to learn more about our Sorority and our FIERCE and Legendary Chapter just look out for that Burgundy and Gray during Orientation Week and throughout the semester. We will be at the various orientation activities including For Women Only, Eagle Fest BBQ and Pool Party, the Hypnotist, Oozeball and Meet the Greeks. We will be demonstrating our traditions of saluting and strolling. Saluting is a means by which Sisters of our organization praise a particular member within our organization or honor the organization’s past and current accomplishments. Salutes tend to include words of modern-day songs and include movements that are synchro-

nized between the Sisters that are performing. Saluting symbolizes unity and respect and is a tradi-tion unique to Lambda Theta Alpha. Strolling, or party walk-ing, traces back to the inception of historically African American Greek organizations and is prac-ticed by many organizations to this day. Sisters line up one after another, similar to saluting, they move forward in a line perform-ing the same dance. Strolling exhibits unity and pride.

Feel free to come up to us at anytime during Orientation and all year round to ask ques-tions, we always welcome new interested ladies with open arms and look forward to seeing the new faces around campus in the upcoming school year! If you are interested in learning more about us please feel free to visit our website at www.wix.com/lambdathetaalpha/lta_epsilon-lambda or email epsilonlambda.fs8@gmail.com.

What does it mean to spend time in your own company? Why do we consider it as a bad thing to do? When was the last time you were alone and had a blast?

I have never made it a secret that I am an introvert. However, we do not fully understand the meaning of introversion. Being an introvert has always been a minority in our society. Our surroundings are full of the other kind - the extroverts. Being an introvert doesn’t mean being anti-social, depressed, rude, shy or afraid. Anyway, I am not here to define any per-sonality types. What I do want to address is the importance of spending time with your-

self - extrovert or introvert. I was once asked by a friend, “Who do you enjoy spend-ing most of your time with?” After thinking about it a lot, I was surprised that I had never realized that the person I enjoy spending most of my time with is me. And I was surprised that I was surprised by this realiza-tion. I mean, why shouldn’t I? I have spent every single moment of my life with me. I am my best friend. I know all my fears, my strengths, my desires, my ambitions, my secrets - everything I ever thought, ever wished, ever accomplished - the first person I shared it with was me.

So, I started taking time out for myself. And I don’t mean sitting on my couch watching re-runs of Seinfeld or browsing the internet on a lazy Sunday

afternoon, but I started taking myself out. I started hanging out with myself more often, while still keeping up with my other social commitments. Here’s how I did it -

I have a fairly large group of friends thanks to my job as a Resident Director, and being at Riddle for five years. However, I always had my friends grouped - study friends, rock-climbing friends, biker friends, etc.

And then I have those 4-5 extremely close friends that I can do almost anything and sometimes absolutely nothing with. I think we all have some-what of a similar friendship pattern. So, breaking out of this pattern and taking time out for me was a little bit of a challenge. Slowly, I started finding things that I enjoyed

doing by myself. Now I have a pretty solid list of things I do on my own. This is the time I spend on thinking and just being in the moment. Here’s a little peek into the things I love doing by myself:

Fishing: I love spending an afternoon at the docks or the pier with my fishing gear and Jack Johnson. Fishing really helps me calm down and re-focus.

Bike rides: There is a scenic road in Central Florida, called the Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail (OSLT). It’s almost a 50 mile loop. The first half runs along the beautiful shore-line and the other half through the Tomoka and Bulow Creek State Parks. My motorcycle, a gorgeous road and me. Need I say more?

Farmers markets: I love

going to the markets. It’s a Saturday morning ritual for me to visit the farmer’s mar-ket, buy some fresh produce and cook a brunch. Usually, this attracts a lot of hung-over friends.

Reading: My daily, get-away ritual is reading. I have some favorite spots to read at - my couch, the lake, the park, or the local coffee shop just to name a few.

Deep Sea Fishing: About twice a year I go deep sea fishing on a local boat called Pastime Princess. They are a little expensive so I resist going too often, but every time I do, it’s a different experi-ence. I generally go with a friend but I have also done a few solo trips, and let me tell you, the solo trips are the best. It’s just you in the middle of a

deep blue ocean, nothing else in sight. It makes you feel so small and humble.

Beach: Since I live on the beach, I take it for granted sometimes. I love taking walks on the beach, especially at night. It might be a little scary for some of you in the beginning, but it’s a whole new world out there at night. The waves sound different, the breeze smells sweeter and the sand feels softer on your feet. Plus, the amazingly lit up sky is always a bonus!

So this is what I do on my own. Hopefully, in the future, I’ll get to expand this list. Also, if you guys have any ways in which you celebrate your soli-tude then do share with me on my blog, www.fishingbuddha.com. Thanks for reading and have a fun semester!

A7The Avion, September 6, 2011 Aero Feature

It was a muggy and sun-shine filled morn-ing as swallows darted swiftly over the freshly mowed grass adjacent to Taxiway Sierra on September 1. Training aircraft departing Runway Seven Right climbed up to meet scattered clouds and the rising sun. At the eastern most hold short line on Taxiway Sierra sat the lat-est project of Embry-Riddle’s Eagle Flight Research Center, the EcoEagle, preparing for its seventh flight in a series of pre-competition test flights.

On the test card was the project milestone of switch-ing the hybrid gas-electric air-craft over from the four cylin-der Rotax 912 engine to the 40-horsepower Flight Design electric motor in flight. This would be accomplished via a custom in-house designed and manufactured transmis-sion. Sitting in the right seat of the modified Stemme S-10 motor glider was Team Pilot Mikhael Ponso, listen-ing intently to the airport weather with his headset and sunglasses on. Standing in on each side of the open can-opy was Team Leader Lori

Costello and Aeronautical Engineering master student Ankit Nanda. Nanda leaned over into the cockpit shading the center-mounted screen of the instrument panel from the

glare of the morning sun. This display would

be critical in m o n i -

t o r -ing the conditions and output of the electric motor in flight. He was not pleased; “Do you have a pen?” he asked. Ankit needed it to reset the frozen computer. The restart looked momentari-ly successful, then the prob-lem reoccured. Another reset. The semi-reclined and fully buckled in Ponso turned and said “Welcome to flight testing.”

T h e EcoEagle is Embry-Riddles’ entry into the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation, in association with NASA and Google, the Green Flight Challenge (GFC) is scheduled to take place

September 25 through October 1st at Charles M Schulz field (KSTS) in Sonoma County California.

The GFC presents very demanding design goals. Most notable of these is the efficiency requirement of 200 Passenger-MPGe energy equivalency or greater. This is to be accomplished at during two 200 statute miles (173.8

nm) flights at speeds over 100 mph (86.9 KTAS)

at 4,000ft MSL. Other require-

m e n t s

i n c l u d e take-

o f f d i s -

tance to o b s t a c l e

height of less than 2,000ft, minimum flight speed of 52 mph (45 KTAS) with a takeoff noise not greater than 78 dBA, vehicle weight less than 6,500 lbf and hanger wing span less than 44ft.

The rewards are high as well. The sys-tem of 1/((1/mph)+(2/PaxMPGe)) will win the first place prize, a whopping 1.5 million dollars that is the larg-est dollar amount prize thus far in general avia-tion.

This record amount has attracted a formi-dable field of competi-

tors. Embry-Riddle is one of thirteen teams registered for the competition. Of those thirteen, four have bowed out in the interim and will not be ready to compete later this month. The majority of teams are opting for all electric pro-pulsion. ERAU is one of two teams using a hybrid propul-sion system and also is one of only two universities in the competition. Early in the development, the Rotax 912 was planed to run on Swift bio-fuel, the same being used in the green fleet project, in order to be eligible for an additional bio-fuel add-on prize. However, that was not

implemented in the f i n a l

configuration. When questioned about the

competing propulsion options during the conceptual design phase of the project, Team Leader Lori Costello said, “We initially looked at several options, all electric with bat-teries, fuel cells both methane and hydrogen, solar panels and we eventually opted for the most proven and safe technology that could meet the goals. If anything goes wrong we could potentially kill him (the pilot).”

The concern is all too real, as Team Yuneec suffered the loss of both pilot and air-craft when it had a structural failure in the tail section ten seconds after takeoff at 130ft above the ground.

With this commitment to safety and proven technol-ogy in mind, the design team chose to modify a Stemme

S-10 Motor Glider. This German made aircraft is the Chevy Corvette of glid-ers. A self-launching glider with a mid-fuselage engine, the most impressive aspect of the Stemme is its mas-sive 75ft wingspan, the largest in the competition. This lends to an incredible aspect ratio of 29, and cou-pled with the HQ-41/14.3 airfoil lead to the aircraft’s outstanding lift to drag ratio, and therefore glide ratio, of 50 to 1. With one of the best airframes that the German masters of soaring, carrying on the long legacy of Otto Lilienthal, could produce,

the team set about making their modi-f i c a t i o n s . Starting at the nose, one of the unique features of the Stemme is the folding prop that can be used at

t a k e o f f a n d

b e stored in the nose cone while soar-ing. This prop was to be replaced with a larger, more efficient, composite, electri-cally controlled variable pitch prop made by MT Propeller. This required designing a new thrust bearing sup-port and mount along with belt drive and cowling. The custom mount was machined from 6061 Aluminum in house. The Instrument panel was modified to include a computer to monitor the elec-trical system and display data to the pilot. Approximately 200 lbf of lithium polymer battery cells were installed in the wings, a location that is typically used by high-speed gliders for water ballast. A custom engine

mount and electrical motor mount was designed and built. The drive train was completely redesigned with a clutch used to switch between the gas and electric motors. An external muffler was also added.

With all the modifications the question of any secret weapons, had to be asked; “No, its just solid engineer-ing and getting the most out of existing technology.” responded Lori. Ponso jok-ingly responds, “Yeah, our ultra super efficient invisible solar panels, they’re every-where.”

Back on Taxiway Sierra, the unruly computer had begun co-operating. Lori gave Ponso a sincere and seemingly ritual-istic pre-test flight handshake. The canopy was lowered and Ankit moved to the front of the aircraft to hand prop start the engine. Ponso gave a nod to Ankit and he threw the prop. Three revolutions and it stopped, nothing atypical for cold hand starts. A few more attempts and the Rotax roared

to life. Ponso contacted Daytona ground and

advanced the t h r o t t l e

rolling

past the hold short line, behind schedule but still functioning. Ten minutes later in a dirt lot not far from the hanger, the team watched as the EcoEagle, barely visible at the end of Runway 7L lift-ed off. As if on cue, a hawk flares and lands on telephone pole in the foreground. The EcoEagle climbed steadily as it passed before starting a very shallow bank toward cam-pus. The slim profile became harder to distinguish against the bright morning sky, before blending in and leaving as small of a footprint on its environment as possible.

After racking up 24 kills in Friday’s matches, junior outside hitter Jordan Holcomb put in another solid day’s work on Saturday, recording a total of 22 kills, 20 digs and 10 service aces to lead the eighth-ranked Eagles to a pair of victories on the final day of the ERAU Labor Day Tournament. The Blue and

Gold took down No. 18 Rocky Mountain in the afternoon and Jamestown in the evening, both in three sets.

With the wins, Embry-Riddle improves to a perfect 5-0 this season, having not dropped a set thus far. Rocky Mountain fell to 11-1 after the loss to ERAU, while Jamestown dropped to 5-4.

In what was billed as the best matchup on paper in the tourna-ment, Embry-Riddle and Rocky Mountain opened the match with a very tightly contested first set. After the Eagles ran out to a fast 7-1 lead, the Battlin’ Bears fought back to close the gap to 12-10. A 3-0 run by ERAU gave the home team a 20-14 advantage, but after taking a timeout, RMC rattled off nine out of 11 points to take a 23-22 lead. A kill by Morgan Shattuck

tied things for a moment, but Jillian Bates answered with a kill to give Rocky Mountain set point at 24-23. The Eagles weren’t rattled, as Holcomb put down a kill to knot the score at 24-all. After Kristin Barott picked up a kill to give RMC another set point, Holcomb slammed down back-to-back kills to bring ERAU to within a point of taking the set at 26-25. In true back-and-forth fashion, the Battwlin’ Bears took the next two points to earn their third set point at 27-26. The Eagles finally strung together three straight points capped off by a kill from Abby Hall to take the first set, 29-27.

The second set also started quickly for Embry-Riddle, as they opened up a 7-2 lead early. But unlike the first set, Rocky Mountain couldn’t mount a

comeback of any kind; the clos-est RMC would get was four points (9-5). An 11-4 run by the Eagles, keyed by four Holcomb kills, put the home team in front 20-9 and they would go on to win the set 25-13 to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

In the third set, Rocky Mountain and Embry-Riddle battled throughout, with neither side ever leading by more than three points. A kill by Taylor Martin tied the set at 10-10, but after ERAU gained a 12-10 advantage on another Martin kill, RMC answered to pull with-in a point at 13-12. A Holcomb kill gave the Eagles their larg-est lead at 17-14, but again the Battlin’ Bears responded, going on a 6-1 run to take a 20-18 lead. A pair of kills by Gloria Kemp quickly tied the set at 20 and a block from Kemp and

Adriana Vazquez put the Eagles back in front, 23-22. The Blue and Gold finally put the match away with a kill from Hall to take the third set, 25-23, and the match, 3-0.

Holcomb, who would later be selected as the tournament MVP, led the way with 13 kills to go along with 13 digs and three service aces. Martin also recorded a double-double with 11 kills and a match-high 17 digs, while libero Nina Kontrec added 16 digs. Vazquez tallied 46 assists as the Eagles hit .219 for the match.

Sara Brunner led the Battlin’ Bears with 11 kills while adding 12 digs. Jamie Eienbaas regis-tered a team-high 14 kills, while setter Kristin Barott recorded 11 digs and 26 assists as RMC hit .143 as a team.

The second match saw the Eagles face off against Jamestown, and Embry-Riddle did everything they could to run away with it as quickly as possible. Kemp put down a kill to give the Blue and Gold a 9-4 lead early in the first set and a kill by Martin pushed the advantage to 17-9. ERAU closed out the set on a 5-1 run, capped off by a Holcomb kill to take the opening set, 25-16.

In the second set, it was more of the same from Embry-Riddle, as they opened the frame on an 11-3 run. A quick 4-0 spurt from the Jimmies pulled Jamestown to within four (11-7), but the Eagles rallied back with nine consecutive points, including

three kills from Martin and three service aces from Holcomb, to take a 20-7 lead. Another kill by Holcomb would conclude the set with the Eagles winning, 25-12, to take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The third set saw the Eagles dominate from start to finish. Holding a 6-3 advantage, the Blue and Gold went on a tear, winning nine straight points, including four more service aces from Holcomb. After los-ing one point, ERAU came back to win seven more in a row, taking a 22-4 lead. The teams would trade points in the final moments of the set, with the Eagles winning it 25-7 on a kill from freshman Alison Wade, sweeping the Jimmies, 3-0.

ERAU was led offensively by Hall who tallied 13 kills and no errors on 19 attempts, good for a .684 hitting per-centage. Martin added 11 kills, while Holcomb recorded nine kills, seven digs and a match-high seven service aces. Kontrec anchored the defense with a match-high 17 digs and Vazquez recorded 36 assists while leading the offense to a blistering .430 hitting percent-age.

Sarah Becker led the Jimmies with four kills while Jada Meiklejohn registered team-highs in digs (7) and assists (8). Jamestown hit .014 for the match.

For their efforts, Holcomb and Hall were each selected to the six-person All-Tournament team, with Holcomb also tak-ing home tournament MVP honors.

The Eagles return to the court next weekend when they host a pair of Sun Conference opponents, beginning with St. Thomas on Friday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 10, Embry-Riddle will play host to Florida Memorial in a match slated for a 2 p.m. start.

The Embry-Riddle and Auburn Montgomery soccer teams combined for 24 shots, but in the end, 110 minutes of play was not enough to deter-mine a winner of the final game of the AUM Southern States Athletic/Sun Conference Showdown on Saturday. Host Auburn Montgomery scored first, but Embry-Riddle had a late answer and the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The Eagles seemed the more energetic side to start the con-test, but it was the Warhawks who held an 8-5 edge in shots. Both teams had shots on frame, but goalkeepers Nils Carlson for ERAU and Vignir Johanessen were up to the task for their respective collecting five saves between them in the first half. AUM’s best chance of the frame came in the 41st minute when Cameron Findlay latched onto a corner kick, but his shot banged off the post to keep both teams level at 0-0 at the half.

The Eagles registered the first two shots of the second half, but it was AUM who found the back off the net first. Elvar Sigurdsson completed a pass to Philippe Silveira took the ball into the box and hit a low shot to the opposite corner to give the Warhawks a 1-0 advantage.

AUM clung to the one goal lead and created a few more

chances as the second half pro-gressed, but the Eagles also continued to knock on the door and in the 81st minute, their persistence paid off. Anel Coralic found Veit Couturier on the left side. Couturier drib-bled past three AUM defenders and slipped a pass to Nicklas Petersson running down the right side. Petersson took a few touches and his strike beat Johanssen low to knot the score at 1-1.

The remaining nine minutes of regulation saw an increase in the intensity as each team tried to take the lead for good, but at the end of 90 minutes, the score remained deadlocked, forcing overtime play.

The first period of overtime finished with a flurry. With 20 seconds remaining, the Eagles won a corner kick which was taken by Sam Farihurst. Fairhurst lifted the ball into the box where Couturier rose

above the AUM defense to meet it. Couturier’s header was on frame but amidst cries to the contrary from the Eagles play-ers on the field, the Warhawks were judged to have saved the ball off the line resulting in another 10 minutes of extra play.

Both teams went back out for 10 more minutes of action, but the additional playing time yielded no addition to the score-board, resulting in the 1-1 final score.

Emnbry-Riddle is now 1-1-1 on the year, while AUM moves to 2-2-1 overall.

Embry-Riddle will be back on the road again next week-end when the team travels to Orange Beach, Ala. to partici-pate in the University of Mobile Invitational. The Eagles will face Texas-Brownsville at 5 p.m. (CST) on Friday and will take on Mississippi College at the same time on Saturday.

The eighth-ranked Embry-Riddle volleyball team used the strength of Jordan Holcomb’s right arm to secure a pair of victories on day one of the ERAU Labor Day Tournament. Holcomb recorded 13 kills in a 3-0 win over Ashford and followed with an 11-kill effort in another 3-0 win over Madonna.

In the afternoon match against Ashford, the Blue and Gold dominated from the early moments. Three straight blocks put ERAU in front 8-1 in the first set, and the Eagles never looked back. A kill by Taylor Martin extended the lead to 11 (20-9) and Embry-Riddle finished the set on a 4-0 run that included two more Martin kills, including the final point to give ERAU a 25-21 win.

The second set saw more of the same from the home team,

as a Morgan Shattuck kill gave ERAU a 7-3 lead early on. After the Saints closed the gap to 9-7, the Eagles rattled off eight straight points to take a com-manding 17-7 lead. Ashford would get no closer than six points for the remainder of the set and a kill by Gloria Kemp gave the Blue and Gold a 25-18 victory and a 2-0 lead.

The opening of the third set was nearly a mirror image of the second set, with Embry-Riddle opening up a 7-3 lead followed by the Saints bat-tling back to trim the deficit to two at 9-7. This time it would be a 9-3 run by the Eagles, which included kills from six different players, to break the set open at 18-10. ERAU would maintain a com-fortable lead through the end, taking a 25-15 win in the final set to earn a 3-0 sweep of the match.

Holcomb led the Eagles with 13 kills while Martin chipped in with 12 kills and 12 digs. Adriana Vazquez ran the offense with 36 assists as the Eagles hit .315 for the match. Nina Kontrec anchored the defense with 21 digs.

McKenzie Thompson led the Saints with five kills to go along with six digs, while Karrah Toby recorded a team-high 10 digs.

In the nightcap against Madonna, ERAU looked strong once again. A pair of service aces from Martin helped launch the Eagles into an early 6-0 lead. The clos-est the Crusaders would come after that early deficit was 20-16, when a kill by Emilie Freeman pulled Madonna to within four points. The Blue and Gold responded with a 5-1 run keyed by two more Martin kills, taking the first set 25-17.

A service ace from Abby Hall gave Embry-Riddle a 7-3 lead early in set two, and a kill from Holcomb pushed the mar-gin to 11-4, forcing Madonna to take a timeout. After the Crusaders closed the gap to just two (12-10), the Eagles rallied for an 11-3 run that included three Holcomb kills. A spike from Kemp closed the door on the second set with ERAU taking a 25-16 win and a 2-0 lead in the match.

Four attack errors in the first six points of the third set gave the Eagles an early 5-1 cush-ion, but MU would bounce back with a 4-2 run to bring the score to 7-5. The Blue and Gold took the next three points, but Madonna would not go down without a fight, closing the margin to a single point at 17-16. A kill from Holcomb fol-lowed by a double-block from

Holcomb and Kemp pushed the lead to 19-16. Hall then took over offensively, record-ing kills on four of the final eight points, including the final point, giving ERAU a 25-20 win in the set and a 3-0 win in the match.

Hall led the Eagles with 13 kills and added 10 digs, while Holcomb chipped in with 11 kills. Martin posted eight

kills and eight digs as well. Vazquez once again led the offense, recording 38 assists as the Eagles hit .261 for the match. Kontrec also anchored the defense again, registering a match-high 22 digs.

Freeman and Karie Altman led Madonna with seven kills apiece. Evia Prieditis tallied 24 assists to lead the offense along with a team-high 11 digs.

The 16th-ranked Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team defeated Shorter, 3-1 Friday night at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.

The Eagles (3-0-0) domi-nated Shorter (0-2-0) for much of the contest. The Eagles’ offensive attack struck first in the 20th minute when Krizzy Menez took a deflected ball off of a Shorter defender on the right side of the field. She took the ball just inside the 18-yard box where she found Martine Olsen streaking down the mid-dle of the field. Olsen took a beautiful pass from Menez and put it in the bottom left corner

of the net to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

Play was dominated by Embry-Riddle for the remain-ing of the first half. The Eagles were able to fire off six shots (three on goal), while the Eagle defense held the Hawks to only two shots (none on goal). With momentum on their side, the Eagle women went into the locker room with a 1-0 advan-tage.

The Embry-Riddle offensive attack was back at work as soon as the whistle blew for the start of the second half. The Eagles’ second goal of the night came when Bjorg Olafs obtained possession of the ball up the left side of the field past two Hawk defenders. Olafs found Menez, who got a great run on the opposite side of the field, wide open in front of the goal and Menez buried it past the Hawk’s keeper. Menez’s goal was her first of 2011.

Embry-Riddle seemingly put the game away in the 68th min-ute when Menez again found Olsen. This time, Menez got a ball that was deflected deep in

the corner of the Hawk’s side of the field. She used a nice move to beat one Hawk defender then lifted a striking cross to the mid-dle of the field that found Olsen streaking for a header that beat the Hawk’s keeper again and gave the Eagles their third goal of the night and Olsen’s sixth goal on the year.

Shorter showed some life late in the contest with a goal of their own in the 85th minute to make the score 3-1. Aline Bez Tamiosso dribbled the ball through the Eagle defense and fired a shot from 30 yards out that just got over the head of Lauren Gallant, the Eagle keeper.

The goal wasn’t enough for the Hawks as the remaining five minutes of the contest gave way towards a 3-1 victory for Embry-Riddle.

17 players saw action in tonight’s game for the Blue and Gold. The Eagles out shot the Hawks 14-6 and bested them in corner kicks as well 6-2.

The Eagle women will play again on Tuesday when they host NCAA II Tampa at 7 p.m.

Kirwa leads ERAU at UT Early Bird ClassicJunior All-American Evans

Kirwa began the 2011 season strong, winning the UT Early Bird Classic in 19:25, 12 sec-

ond ahead of the second-place runner. The Eagles as a team placed second overall, finishing just behind a semi-professional running team by 11 points, but placing first amongst the col-legiate teams at the race.

Kirwa’s first-place fin-

ish paved the way for fellow Eagles Alex Frazier and Josh Guerrero to finish 12th and 13th respectively. Frazier fin-ished the 4-mile race in 20:33, while junior Guerrero came in at 20:35. Freshman Alec Hernandez (20:44) finished 16th

overall, and ERAU’s Zachary Kraus placed 19th in 20:51. All five of the Eagles’ scorers finished in the top 20 runners. Jason Riggs (21:30) and

Bruce Federico (22:01) also competed for the Blue and Gold.

Embry-Riddle’s total time of 1:42.08 was less than a sec-ond slower than the meet win-ner, Running Center’s time of 1:41.38, just 1:26 separated Kirwa from Kraus.

Florida Tech, Florida Southern and Nova Southeastern fin-

ished third, fourth and fifth in the 13 team, 140-runner event. The only other NAIA school was 11th-place Webber International.

ERAU will return to the Tampa, Fla. area for next Friday’s (Sept. 9) USF Invite.

In Columbiana, Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, Avatar) stars as a revenge-driven assassin intent on murdering the hit-men who ruthlessly slaugh-

tered her mobster parents. As the story unfolds, Saldana’s character, Cataleya, serves as professional killer by day and avenger by night. She fights through implausible scenarios to revenge the murder of her parents.

Though Saldana looks amaz-ing on screen, especially clad in underwear with a machine gun in hand, the movie falls short of a good revenge thrill-er.

Saldana acts as an empow-ered female and handles the role well, but her character in Columbiana is unlikeable. She is too often a super-soldier and despicable, lacking a personal connection with the audience.

As a hired assassin she is a lone wolf hunted by the FBI. Her lack of friends and human interaction expands itself off the screen and into the the-ater.

Her quest is emotional, but there is no emotion between

Cataleya and the viewer, there-fore, no one cares.

Zoe Saldana tries her best to portray the kick-butt Cataleya, but the plot and script leave too many holes for it to be enjoyable. As the FBI hunts her, the main agent is utterly conflicted over Cataleya being a female killer. Why can’t she be female?

Cataleya idiotically leaves tattooed flowers on her vic-tims. As a hit-man, was she never taught to not leave evi-dence or markings? It doesn’t add up and even though Saldana is attractive and the action is entertaining, it does not equal a good flick- espe-cially if the audience leaves the theater unsatisfied.

Yet, beneath the clichéd plot, bad script, and mission-impossible-like scenarios, Zoe Saldana proves to the audi-ence that she has the kahunas to possibly become the next female action star.

Before you walk into the Hollywood cinemas to go see this movie, ask yourself this question: would you ever sell drugs to an officer? What do you think? The movie Our Idiot Brother holds so much

laughter and entertainment for its viewers. Lover of nature, Ned believes that everyone he comes by is worthy of his trust. This habit leads him to sell illegal drugs to a law enforcement officer. You can guess what happens next.

After completing his jail term, Ned was placed on probation. He returns to his family who accepts him with open arms except his three city dwelling sisters, who act a little bit hostile at a family dinner.

However, one sister leaves the dinner telling Ned “he is forever welcome into their home.” Of course, Ned tries hard to fit into the city life-style but to no avail. He wants girlfriend Willie Nelson back but how is he going to go about it?

He moves from one sister’s house to the other causing problems for them all. The sis-ters get mad at him and want him out of their lives. He tells his correctional officer during one of their meetings that he

took some illegal drugs with the boy next door. In weeks to come, Ned is hunted down and taken back to jail.

The movie’s plot was well-developed therefore keeping the audience’s attention in between scenes. The roll-out of scenes in the movie was well-planned in a way that the drama and the comedy didn’t die down. The cast did a good job of bringing the comedy to life. You would love to be in a family with these kinds of sisters and of course their idiot brother.

For comedy lovers, this movie will get you hooked till the end. It is definitely a must watch and a cool way to relax with friends after a long school week.

In the end, Ned gets Willie Nelson back and meets a new lover with a dog named Dolly-Parton. I recommend you see this movie in the theaters and also buy a copy to keep at home for some boring days. There was never a dull moment in this movie.

A FEMALE ASSASSIN CATALEYA hires herself out during the day before turning avenger at night to seek revenge for her murdered parents. Unforunately, the character is quite detached from the audience and as such there is no connection..

MOST PEOPLE SHOULD BE able to identify with this humorous movie as even if they don’t have an idiot brother, an idiot cousin would not be hard to find. The comedy through the show focusses around the trusting nature of main character Ned. The antics between Ned and his three sisters form up much of the laughs later on.
