The rain-laden clouds and chilly temperatures were not enough to deter fans of Emerson Drive from gathering at the ICI center for a concert Saturday evening.

Screaming girls and boys in cowboy hats anxiously awaited the country band’s entrance on stage. When Emerson Drive finally gave in to the crowd’s desire, they stormed the stage with exhilaration and excite-ment.

Several girls swooned at the band’s lead singer, Brad Mates, and the whole audience sang along with him. Their lyrics are catchy and their energy is con-tagious, but there is a fascinat-ing history behind their cow-boy boots and country twang.

It started back in the 90s when Brad spontaneously entered his high school’s talent contest in Alberta, Canada.

He formed an impromptu

group with some of his class-mates and ended up shocking the audience with their abili-ties. After recognizing their talent, the newly-created band went on to play a few local gigs.

They became enormously passionate for music and prac-ticed tirelessly throughout the next several years.

They soon found success in Canada after winning a local Battle of the Bands contest and consequently earning a record deal. However, the band decided to move to Nashville in order to gain an American fan base.

Emerson Drive’s debut American single “I Should be Sleeping” earned a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and they have been steadily gaining fans since then.

Brad pointed out, “It’s what makes us unique that we have worked to keep a fan base in Canada and in the States. Not a lot of artists can say they have done that.”

Nonetheless, their journey here has not been trouble-free. From tour buses being robbed to the suicide of a band mem-ber, Emerson Drive worked to overcome a great deal of set-backs.

Their lyrics reflect an attitude of perseverance and convic-tion: “Have a little faith, little trust, little love and dream…whatever you want but you’ve gotta believe.”

Brad pronounced that “the feeling [they] were young and could conquer the world” had a lot to do with their triumph over adversity.

Emerson Drive’s forti-tude has earned them count-less Canadian Country Music Awards and several here in the states from the Academy of Country Music.

Their concert at Embry-Riddle showcased the band’s undeniable vocal talent and lyrical finesse. Every single student left with a smile on their face and a love for coun-try music in their hearts.

The Concorde parking lot was transformed Nov 5. from the usual rush of students competing desperately for a parking space into a show of some of the most revered and sought after cars in American history.

The Embry Riddle Muscle Car Association’s (ERMCA) annual car show was held as part of the homecoming festivities, in which approximately 50 cars owned by both students and the general public were displayed for all to admire.

While walking down the lines of popped hoods and sparkling chassis, spectators could admire the hard work and effort that comes from a life long commit-ment to auto perfection.

“I’ve been involved with cars and engines since I was a boy,” said one owner, “I love the smell, the sounds, the prestige and the social aspect of car shows and ownership.”

Cars on display spanned the history of the automobile indus-try, ranging from a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor all the way to a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette.

Although the majority of cars were classic and modern muscle cars, there was also a strong pres-ence from the import/compact cars as well as customized hot rods and buggies.

The main draw of car shows in general is the modified and rare cars that are not seen every day.

From supercharged engines and Nitrous oxide to completely custom engines and interiors, the show did not disappoint.

“We start with small mods, like exhausts and air intakes, but it quickly becomes more than just a small hobby and you end up trying to make your car as unique and as powerful as it can be,” joked another owner.

Ford Mustangs, Chevorlet Chevelles, Corvettes and Camaros were lined up against Subarus, Nissans and Acuras with even the

Florida State Troopers bringing two of its patrol cars.

Owners and spectators inter-acted enthusiastically while a DJ provided a request-friend-ly soundtrack to the blustery afternoon.

Voting forms were given out to decide best in class and best in show and a raffle was held to give away a cash prize.

The best in show car award went to the owner of a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro who had com-pletely stripped down the engine bay and fitted a new custom built 600 horsepower engine as well as added a completely redesigned modern interior.

As the show came to a close and participants fired up their engines to leave, a symphony of V8s, straight fours and flat sixes combined with the smell of gasoline to give a real sense of why just so many peo-ple throughout the world are

hooked on automobiles. If you are interested in partici-

pating in the ERMCA, they meet Thursday nights at 9 p.m. in the ICI parking lot.

On Wednesday night, the Student Center filled with excitement as the crowed cheered for contestants wait-ing to perform backstage.

The event was not to be missed. The show started with the musical antics of Jason

LeVasseur as he shared his passion for rabbits.

The most unique organiza-tion of the night that took us by surprise was the Sign-Up! Club as they performed (Moves Like Jagger) with a combination of sign language and precision choreography.

Everyone went wild for the creative performance of Scooby Doo and the mystery

gang as they subdued the vil-lain, but not even the gang expected to lose first place to cutest performance of the night.

Kappa Alpha Psi took us back to our childhood literally with actual children perform-ing the Party Rock Anthem.

Overall the AirJam was a fun and joyful time with all the tal-ent that performed that night.

Hi! My name is Abby, and I am an Associate Justice on the Student Government’s Student Court. I grew up in a small town south of Pittsburgh, called Waynesburg; with that said, I am a HUGE Steeler and Penguin fan. I am graduating in May 2012 with a Masters in Human Factors and Systems, with a Systems concentration.

This is my third semester on the Student Court, where I serve as the Court’s Marshall. As the Marshall of the Student Court, I am responsible for notifying students of their sanctions and ensuring the sanctions are com-pleted by the due date. Previously I served as the Office Coordinator and the Educator.

Outside of SGA and my studies, I was previously a Resident Adviser and peer men-tor for First Year Programs for 3 years

and the morale chairman for Up ‘til Dawn (an organization who raises money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital). I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Human Factors Deportment. I am involved in Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Human Performance in Extreme Environments, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Psi Chi. Additionally, I have ran several half marathons and many 5Ks.

I have interned at Boeing for the past 2 summers in Seattle, WA and San Antonio, TX. This past summer I worked on the 787 program, where I worked no farther than 10 feet from the aircraft.

If you have any questions regarding the judicial process, honor board hearings, or the student court in general, please stop in the office or contact me.

Hello, my name is Christine Dow and I will be an Associate Justice on the SGA Student Court this academic year. I’m enter-ing my senior year here at Embry-Riddle majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Air Transportation. I also have minors in Air Traffic Management and Aviation Law.

In addition to being an Associate Justice I am a third year Resident Advisor in Stimpson Hall, a lab assistant for AT 305, a member of the COB Business Eagles program, and Vice President of the Women in Aviation Club. Embry-Riddle has become my home away from home due to these different organiza-tions and the people in them.

I applied to become an Associate Justice because I think the University’s judicial sys-

tem is an important aspect of students’ rights. I also think that everyone can learn from mistakes (if the infraction did in fact occur), and learning these lessons in a university setting is more desirable than in the profes-sional world. Being a member of the court has improved my decision making ability and listening proficiency.

If you are ever requested to appear before the Court, please be aware that the entire Court wants you to succeed here at ERAU. We constantly seek to improve students’ understanding of University policies and respond to infractions of these policies in the most appropriate manner. Thank you for being a member of the ERAU community and making this University what it is today. Have a great week!

The Eta Iota chapter of Sigma Chi would like to invite you to join in support of this year’s DERBY DAYS compe-tition. Throughout the week of November 6th, three sororities and their Sigma Chi coaches will be participating in a series of events to raise money and awareness for their respective charity. The better they do the higher portions of the total col-lected will be distributed to their charity of choice. At the end of the week on Veteran’s day Sigma Chi will announce the sorority with the most points and also crown their Derby Queen (Most Valuable Player) of the events. This year’s event will be one of the largest Greek Philanthropic events Embry-Riddle has seen. The theme for this year’s Derby Days is, “Divas.” Each of the three participating soror-ities has selected a famous Diva from modern pop cul-ture: Alpha Xi Delta; Beyonce, Sigma Sigma Sigma; Britney Spears, and Theta Phi Alpha; Jennifer Lopez. Each soror-

ity will emulate their respec-tive Divas on the flight deck November 10th at 7 P.M. in the Diva Dance Battle Royale. Please help support our causes and buy a ticket to the show. Your entrance ticket doubles as a raffle ticket for the free giveaways during act changes. You can purchase a ticket from any of the three sororities or if you’d like to make a direct donation please contact our Derby Days Chairman: [email protected] . This year’s Derby days will benefit: The Children’s Miracle Network, The Huntsman Cancer Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, Autism Speaks, the house that Theta Phi Built, and the Robbie Paige Memorial. The following is the schedule of events:

Sunday - Banner BBQ, Sigma Chi House @ 5pm-7pm

Monday - Derby Hats, On Campus @ TBD

Tuesday – Diva Dive, Fitness Center Pool @ 5pm-7pm

Wednesday – Slick Sig, West Lawn @ 5pm-7pm

Thursday – Diva Dance, University Center @ 7pm-8pm

Friday – Awards Banquet, TBD @ 6pm-7pm.

To give you a better under-standing of the Sigma Chi Derby Days tradition here is a brief synopsis of its history. In the spring of 1933 the Sigma Chi chapter at UC Berkeley hosted an event composed of a series of humorous skits that were hailed to be, “California’s most amusing tradition”. In the following spring of 1935 the University of Tennessee-Knoxville planned an all-day track and field competition between the pledge classes of the nine sororities, draw-ing more than 1,000 spectators. It was during the 1960s that Derby Days grew as a philan-thropic event to raise funds for the Cleo Wallace Center. The Children’s Miracle Network was introduced as Sigma Chi’s associated philanthropy in 1992. The CMN is an alli-ance of 165 hospitals across the United States and Canada that generates funds for the children whom the hospitals serve. The Huntsman Cancer institute was added as a charity of choice for Sigma Chi in 2005. HCI was founded by a Sigma Chi Aluminous with the mission to find the causes of cancer and develop better treatments.

On Oct. 27, 2011 Kappa Alpha Psi hosted its first basketball tournament at the McKay basketball courts. It was an event aimed at uniting the Embry-Riddle and Daytona Beach communi-ties through a fun and com-petitive team environment.

The basketball tournament had everything from food to music; everyone who was par-ticipating, as well as those who were observing, were kept entertained. There was never a dull moment. It was a successful event with six teams comprised of members from both the Embry-Riddle community and the Daytona Beach community. Students from Bethune Cookman University also came out to show support for their fellow classmates who were participating and the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi.

Officials for the games were members of our own Eagles basketball team and after sev-eral hours of intense, competi-

tive basketball, the double-elimination tournament finished with the team “Old Skool / New Skool” rising above the compe-tition. These win-ners walked away with a trophy and medals marking their participation and accomplishment of

winning the tournamentThe Brothers of Kappa

Alpha Psi send a spe-cial thanks to all those who helped to make the

event as great as it was: “Whether you were par-ticipating or just came out to

watch, thank you.”

Last Saturday, the brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha teamed up with Orlando-based flight and ground crewmembers of jetBlue Airways at the Susan G. Komen Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Orlando.

At 7:15 a.m., all 30,000 par-ticipants lined up at the start for the annual 5k walk around Lake Eola in the pouring rain, but this did not dampen the spirits of the walkers. Pi Kappa Alpha and jetBlue’s team, with the help of the Double Tree hotel chain, managed to raise an astounding $5,726 towards the fight. This met their newly set goal for the year and well-surpassed the amount raised

in previous years. The grand total raised at the event was $496,738.07.

The Brothers of PIKE enjoyed breakfast with the

crew- m e m -bers after the race and finished up the afternoon with a visit

to jetBlue University. Here, they were able to learn about the simulators of the Airbus 320 and Embraer 190, as well as observe flight attendant cur-riculum training and obtain information on the engineering aspects of jetBlue Airways.

They were graciously invited back in Dec. to partake in simu-lator time in the company’s level D training devices. “It was nice to build a positive relationship with such a young, productive and fun airline. We feel like it is a perfect match for what we as PIKES strive to represent,” says Paul Van Ess, External Vice President who worked in setting up the event. The Brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha are looking forward to making this an annual event with the airline.

It was at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 that World War I was halted as a result of the signing of the armistice between the Allied Nations and Germany. In the years to follow, people from around the world have stopped what they were doing at 11:00 a.m. local time on Nov. 11 in silent remembrance of the point in time when the “War to end all wars” came to an end and claimed roughly 60 million lives. In other com-memorations of that peaceful pledge, bells have been rung from around the world on Nov. 11.

On May 13, 1938, the U.S. Congress passed a law that made Nov. 11 a legal holiday - “a day to be dedicated to the

cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day’.” However, the name ‘Armistice Day’ was later changed to ‘Veterans Day’ via an act of Congress and signed into law on June 1, 1954.

American novelist and World War II veteran Kurt Vonnegut wrote about his war experi-ences and in particular his time as an American prisoner of war surviving the horrific fire-bombing of the German city of Dresden in his famous novel “Slaughterhouse-Five”.

Years later, Vonnegut reflected on the U.S. govern-ment’s changing of the official recognition of Nov. 11 from ‘Armistice Day’ to ‘Veterans Day’ in the following way:

I will come to a time in

my backwards trip when November eleventh, acciden-tally my birthday, was a sacred day called ‘Armistice Day’. When I was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hun-dred and eighteen, that mil-lions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke

clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans’ Day is not. So I will throw Veterans’ Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don’t want to throw away any sacred things.

Some members of Veterans for Peace feel that the substi-tution of the word ‘Armistice’ with ‘Veterans’ politicized the day by changing the focus from peace to war in its cel-ebrating and honoring military veterans and the wars they served in. Too often rhetoric and patriotic symbols are used instead of genuine compensa-tion for the extraordinary sac-rifices and services of military personnel.

Many feel that the ringing of bells, be they church bells or

other, is a much more fitting recognition of the pledge for peace agreed to on that morn-ing in Nov. of 1918 when the “Voice of God” was heard. Sadly, gun salutes and fighter plane flyovers have been used as the norm in more recent years to mark that sacred day. However, at the urging of the Twin Cities’ chapter of Veterans for Peace, on Nov. 11 of last year more than 50 Minnesota churches joined in ringing bells and asked their members, either in their bulle-tins or from the pulpit, to work for peace.

This year the Central Florida chapter of Veterans for Peace is urging all citizens, espe-cially people of faith, to recon-sider the original intent of a public recognition of Nov. 11

by adopting a procedure of bell ringing or something else that is fitting so as to honor peace and denounce war as a means of settling differences.

Note: Restino is co-chair and a founding member of the Central Florida chapter of Veterans for Peace and a member of Military Families Speak Out - Florida. He lives in Port Orange, FL. Veterans for Peace is made up of vet-erans working together for peace and justice through non-violence since 1985. The Central Florida chapter cov-ers from Greater Orlando east to Greater Melbourne and north to Greater Jacksonville. For more information, visit www.cflveteransforpeace.org or call (386)788-2918.

Led by a double-double from senior Abby Hall, the fifth-ranked Embry-Riddle volleyball team swept Ave Maria (25-17, 25-17, 25-15) to complete their third consecutive undefeated conference regular season. With the win, ERAU improves to 25-4, 12-0 in conference, while AMU drops to 12-18, 6-6 in TSC play.

The Eagles did not lose a single set in conference play (36-0), the first time they have

accomplished that feat in pro-gram history. The Blue and Gold haven’t lost a set in conference play since dropping the third set in a 3-1 win at Northwood on Oct. 22, 2010, a string of 49 straight sets. The last time Embry-Riddle fell in a regular season conference match was Sept. 12, 2008, when Webber International defeated ERAU 3-0. The Eagles have won 55 consecutive regular season con-ference matches, the second-longest streak in the NAIA,

behind Columbia’s (Mo.) streak of 138 matches.

The two teams exchanged blows early in the first set with neither side taking a lead of more than two points until a kill from Emily Jacobson put

ERAU in front, 15-12. A kill from Gloria Kemp extended the lead to 19-13, and back-to-back kills from Hall closed out the set, 25-17.

The second set also started out as a close affair, but the Eagles were able to build a comfortable 20-12 thanks to a 6-0 run in the middle stages of the set. Hall put down a kill to push the lead to 23-15 and an AMU attack error finished the set, 25-17.

ERAU got a slight jump on

the Gyrenes in the third set, taking an 8-5 lead early on. But Ave Maria rebounded to tie the set at eight and kept it close up to 15-14. From that point, AMU committed seven consecutive errors to give the

Eagles a commanding 22-14 lead. Taylor Martin ended the set and the match with a kill to give Embry-Riddle a 25-15 win in the set and a 3-0 win in the match.

Hall led the Eagles with 12 kills (.379 hitting percentage) to go along with 14 digs, while Martin added 11 kills. Jordan Holcomb contributed six kills on just 11 attacks (.545 hitting percentage) and Kemp chipped in with nine kills (.368 hitting percentage); both Holcomb

and Kemp recorded a match-high three blocks. Senior Nina Kontrec led the defense with a match-high 15 digs and Adrana Vazquez racked up 40 assists as the Eagles hit .370 collec-tively; Vazquez also added six

kills on six attacks. Ashley Voudrie and

Raquel Laing each tallied a team-high six kills for AMU, while Savannah Stona and Christianne Ludwick each record five kills. Hayley Wonka picked up a team-best eight digs and Megan Arago registered a team-high 21 assists.

The Eagles will travel to Miami Gardens, Fla. next week-end for The Sun Conference Tournament hosted by St.

Thomas University. Embry-Riddle will be the No. 1 seed in the tournament and will receive a bye through to the semi-finals, where they will meet the winner of the Ave Maria-Warner quarterfinal match.

For the third year in a row, the Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team will have a chance to play for a Sun Conference tourna-ment title. The Eagles, seeded second in the six-team tour-nament, advanced on Saturday

with a 3-0 defeat of No. 3 seed SCAD Savannah in

the semifinal round played at ERAU’s S o c c e r S t a d i u m .

Ninth-ranked ERAU improved

its overall record to 15-2-1, while the Bees

fell to 13-5 on the year.The Eagles took full advan-

tage of having the wind at their backs in the first half, outshoot-ing the Bees 8-2 in the first 45 minutes of play. The first chance to put a goal in the score book came from Cecilie Henrikssen whose long range attempt was pushed just wide of the mark by SCAD goal-keeper Ciara Thomas in the 13th minute. Thomas also

managed to turn back the next two Eagle attempts to keep the score knotted at 0-0.

The Eagles were finally able to break the scoreless tie in the 23rd minute. Henrikssen received the pass from Allison Schultz on the left side of the pitch and launched a ball that made its way to the

SCAD 18-yard box where only Martine Olsen and a SCAD defender waited. The ball was too

high for the SCAD defender to handle and fell to Olsen who took full advantage of

being unmarked to slot home her 27th goal of the year and put the Eagles up 1-0

In the 38th minute, the Eagles increased their advantage to 2-0 courtesy of Valerie Obita’s 12th goal of the season. ERAU played a hopeful ball toward the SCAD penalty area but with no Eagle player in the vicinity, it seemed an easy play for the SCAD defense. That was until Obita, using her pace, came from out of nowhere to split the last two SCAD defenders and tapped the ball past Thomas for a 2-0 Eagle lead at the break.

When the teams switched sides at the half, it was evi-dent that the wind was a sig-nificant factor in the attacking movements of both teams. After managing just two shots in the first frame, the Bees outshot the Eagles 6-3 in the second, forc-ing ERAU goalkeeper Lauren Gallant to come up with four saves. Despite the apparent advantage, it was the Eagles who tallied the only goal of the second half.

In the 77th minute, Obita got the ball from Krizzy Menez at the midfield stripe and her one-touch pass released Menez down the right side. With

an open field in front of her, Menez took the ball deep into the SCAD box before passing the ball back to Obita who had continued her run. Obita calmly settled the pass and slotted the ball past Thomas to seal the 3-0 win and secure the Eagles’ spot in the Sun Conference champi-onship.

“We have a lot of respect for Andy and his program, so we knew it would require a strong effort to get a result,” ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon said. “I thought we were pretty good in the first half with pos-session and movement. We had two great finishes to give us the lead at half. We were smart in the second half and got a third goal to seal up the win. We know St Thomas will be a chal-lenge, so we’ll spend the week preparing for a battle.”

As the highest remaining seed in the conference tournament, the Eagles will host fourth-seed St. Thomas who registered a 2-0 upset of No. 1 seed and seventh-ranked Northwood in the other semifinal. The championship match will take place on Nov. 11 at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. The game time is yet to be determined.

The eighth-ranked Embry-Riddle Eagles opened their 2011-12 season with a Homecoming win over 26th-ranked Milligan (Tenn.) on Saturday night in the ICI Center. The Blue and Gold move to 1-0 while Milligan slips to 1-2 on the year.

The Eagles got a bucket from Sam Ford to begin the contest and never looked back, never trailing in the contest. ERAU jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead after a three-pointer from newcom-er Jeremiah Applin, causing Milligan Coach Bill Robinson to call a timeout. The hosts continued to look strong in the opening frame, extending their lead to 24-8 on the first of two Blake Touchard first-half threes.

The Buffaloes refused to fold, battling back to within five points, 28-23, thanks to back-to-back three-pointers, but Ray Graham and Touchard led ERAU to a 43-34 half-time lead, thanks to 8-of-11 shooting from the free throw line.

Coach Steve Ridder’s squad held a 22-18 advan-tage on the boards in the first half, but turned the ball over eight times to Milligan’s five. Graham and Touchard each had 11 points for ERAU, while Kyle Grisby led all scorers with 12 points in the first stanza.

Touchard fired up the home crowd with 10 points in the first five minutes of the second half, ballooning the Eagle lead to 55-43 at the 15:09 mark.

Milligan pulled

within six at 56-50 with 13:12 left to play, but that was the closest they got, as the Eagles went on to outscore the Buffaloes, 39-22, the rest of the game.

One of the main storylines of the game was the number of free throws the Eagles shot, specifically Graham. Graham fin-ished the game 1 7 - f o r - 2 2 from the c h a r i t y s t r i p e , b r e a k -ing both the free t h r o w s m a d e and free t h r o w s attempt-e d record. As a team the Eagles shot 2 6 - f o r - 3 5 ( 7 4 . 3 % ) , w h i l e Mil l igan o n l y

attempted 1 6 free throws,

making seven (43.8%). Five Buffaloes fouled out,

as the team was called for 27 total fouls to the Eagles’ 19.

Graham ended the game with 27 points on 5-for-12 shooting from the floor. The DeLand, Fla. native grabbed nine rebounds and dished out an assist on the night.

Touchard led all scorers with 31 (9-for-14), seven coming from the line. He assisted on seven other bas-

kets while picking up a block and a steal.

Applin was the other Eagle in double-

figures, record-ing 12 points and grabbing three boards. F r e s h m a n DeForest Carter was impressive

defens ive-ly, pull-

i n g down n i n e

rebounds a n d b l o c k -ing five Buffalo shots. Carter also recorded four assists and had two steals.

Grisby led the Buffaloes with 17, while Jordan Cross hit five threes for 15 total points.

ERAU outshot the visi-tors from the floor 53.7% to 41.8%, and outrebound-ed Milligan, 42-37.

The Eagles will trav-el to Winona Lake, Ind. for the KCCCF Tournament hosted by Grace College on Nov. 11-12.

Just two weeks after plac-ing well behind No. 24 SCAD Savannah at the Southeast Classic, the Embry-Riddle Eagles Men's Cross Country squad pulled off an upset over the Bees in the 2011 Sun Conference Cross Country Championship. The Eagles put all five scoring runners in the top ten, including first-place finisher Evans Kirwa, to claim their seventh consecu-tive Sun Conference title, and the first postseason crown of the

2011 ERAU athletics' season.Kirwa, a three-time NAIA

National Runner of the Week, won his third straight Sun Conference Runner of the Year honor, finishing the 8K race in 25:39.84, 55 seconds in front of second-place finisher Ignacio Fernandez from SCAD Savannah.

Fernandez was the first of three Bee runners to place two-four, but Zachary Kraus and Alex Frazier went five, six respective-ly for the Blue and Gold. Kraus ran a 27:05.74 while Frazier's time of 27:11.37 was nine sec-ond faster than finisher No. 7

from Webber International.Josh Guerrero (27:24.39) and

Jacob Dordick (27:26.11) were the keys for the Eagles, as their eighth and ninth place finishes pushed ERAU to the team title. Dordick's time was a personal record for the freshman, posted on a course that was running slow for the rest of the competi-tors.

Patrick Clare (28:22.97), Alec Hernandez (28:51.58), Jason Riggs (29:31.84), Paul Meesala (30:08.39) and Jonathan Brasch (30:32.29) also competed for the Eagles.

"This was an unbelievable

and exciting race for us," Coach Mike Rosolino stated. "These guys really stepped up, especial-ly Jacob. For a freshman to come in and hit a personal best on this course on a day like this was phenomenal. I can't say enough about him or this team. The team ran for each other today and put together an exceptional performance, coming back to beat a SCAD team that beat us last meet. A great job by a great group of young men."

The Eagles totaled 29 points, edging SCAD by three points en route to the title. USCB (79), Webber International (104) and

Warner (172) all finished in the top five.

Kirwa (ERAU), Fernandez (SCAD), John Sutherland (SCAD), Tom Koetsenruijter (SCAD), Kraus (ERAU), Frazier (ERAU) and Brandon Scott (WIU) all earned first team All-Conference honors. Guerrero (ERAU), Dordick (ERAU), Marshall Meyer (USCB), Hayden Davis (SCAD), Ben Harrison (SCAD) Anthony Vecchio (USCB) and John Golden (SCAD) were named to the second team All-Conference roster.

Kirwa was named Runner

of the Year for the third time in his three seasons at Embry-Riddle, while Koetsenrujiter was selected as the Newcomer of the Year.

Rosolino was named The Sun Conference Coach of the Year for the seventh time in his tenure, and Andrew Herzog (SCAD) was named the Champion of Character Award recipient.

The Eagles will prepare for the 2011 NAIA National Championships in Vancouver, Wash. on Nov. 19. Their best-ever finish in the event came in 2009 when they placed fifth overall.

Embry-Riddle takes home 2011 Sun Conference Championship

PHOTO COURTESY ERAU ATHLETICS

The NAIA No. 20 Embry-Riddle Women's Cross Country team placed six runners in the top 10 and three in the top five to claim their sixth consecutive Sun Conference Cross Country Championship on Saturday morning on the campus of Ave Maria University. The Eagles will receive an automatic bid to the 2011 NAIA National Championships on Nov. 19 in Vancouver, Wash. The women's cross country team joins the men's cross country team to be the first 2011 ERAU squads

to earn bids to their respective national championships.

For the first time this season a new Eagle finished first for the Blue and Gold as junior Karina Coelho raced to a 19:34.59 mark, good for second over-all. SCAD Savannah's Melanie Novack won the eight-team event in 19:26.98.

Coelho was followed close-ly by senior Julie Mayfield (19:45.11) and sophomore Ellie Staker (19:58.89). Mayfield finished third overall in the race, a one-spot improvement from her fourth-place finish in 2010. Staker, who had been the first Eagle finisher in all six of ERAU's previous meets,

finished in fifth place overall, three places better than her fin-ish last season.

Rounding out the Eagle scor-ers were Baleigh Hyatt and Nicole Bonk. Hyatt's 20:34.27 time was good for seventh overall, it marked the third race in a row that the senior from Titusville, Fla. was the fourth Eagle finisher. Bonk was the ninth overall finisher in 20:50.99, her second-best over-all finish of the year.

Freshmen Aleiyah Ross (20:53.03) and Bailey Eaton (22:02.38) both finished in the top-20, while Kira Ball (22:15.39), Jaena Smith (22:27.44) and Brittany Cross

(23:42.06) all competed for the six-time conference champion Eagles. Smith's time was a per-sonal best, a feat all the more impressive on a course that ran about 60-90 seconds slower than what the Eagles' usually run.

"This was a great team per-formance today," Head Coach Mike Rosolino said. "They passed this stepping stone to the real goal which is nationals. Everyone did their job and took care of business. Karina and Julie are starting to step up and round into shape at the perfect time. Jaena really stepped up for us, she hit a personal record on a very difficult course. I am so proud of this group of

women who have worked hard through adversity and injuries to come out on top."

The Eagles tallied 26 total points for their team title, SCAD Savannah (38), Webber International (100), Warner (105) and South Carolina-Beaufort (122) rounded out the top five.

Novack received Sun Conference Runner of the Year Honors, as well as the Newcomer of the Year Award.

Joining Novack on the first team All-Conference roster was Coelho (ERAU), Mayfield (ERAU), Hannah Lieberman (SCAD), Staker (ERAU), Megan O'Boyle (SCAD) and

Hyatt (ERAU).The second team All-Sun

Conference roster included Selena Hutson (USCB), Bonk (ERAU), Ross (ERAU), Kaylea Spurlin (WU), Maxime Copley (WU), Sarah Caskey (SCAD) and Heather Riniker (SCAD).

Rosolino earned his sixth Sun Conference Coach of the Year award while Sarah Turrubiate from USCB was named the 2011 Champion of Character award winner.

Embry-Riddle has two weeks to prepare for the NAIA National Championships on Nov. 19. The women's best fin-ish at nationals came in 2009 when they place 16th.

The Thing is a horror movie prequel to the 1982 film The Thing that starred Kurt Russell about a mystery in Antarctica. Despite the hazards of creat-ing a prequel in Hollywood, The Thing did not fall prey to the common pitfalls that often plague prequel movies.

The new The Thing broke the Hollywood stereotype and succeeded as a movie by stay-ing true to the original 1982 movie. In keeping with the same plot of the original, the thing remains about some “thing” that is copying people in the Antarctic expedition and is trying to escape the continent into the general population.

The plot for the thing is not simply a recycled rinse-and-repeat plot, but instead it is a plot where the Antarctic team is dealing with the same crea-ture but in a different manner than that of the 1982 film.

The Thing does make a small homage to the original Kurt Russell version and has a few tips of the hat to fans of the original.

Despite being in the sci-fi horror genre, The Thing kept audiences interested by not hav-ing a predictable plot where the audience knows what is going to happen from one scene to the next.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead made an appearance once again in a horror movie as Dr. Kate

Lloyd, the lead protagonist, who takes charge when things start to go awry and keeps a cool head while the rest of the crew is in a panic. Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s role brought a restorative presence that prevented the film from becoming a B-movie.

Despite almost 30 years of improvements in the film and special effects industry, the thing remained true to the orig-inal. Although the thing was different in the new film than in 1982, the 1982 version was a puppet while the new thing was CGI yet the special effects crew was able to make the new thing similarly disturbing as the original.

All the small details in The Thing which paid homage to the original and kept the pre-quel on course, added up to make The Thing a great horror classic that I’m sure Antarctic winter crews will screen after the last flight out for years to come. The Thing’s dynamic similarity and great attention to detail earned this movie 3.5 airplanes out of 5.

In Port Orange, straight down Nova Road to Dunlawton Avenue, there is a small piz-zeria called Mamma Mia’s,

where on a regular night, hid-den between a Walgreens and a Karate gym, you can find some of the best pizza and Italian food in Daytona.

As soon as you enter the res-taurant, you will be greeted by a beautiful fresco and a can-tata that gives this pizzeria a romantic atmosphere perfect for a date.

Once you sit down in front of the brick pizza oven at the marble bar, the head pizza maker wastes no time in making you feel com-fortable and entertains you for the night. We spent the whole night chatting with the baker and making merry in the company of a very friendly staff.

After sitting at the bar, a very friendly manager gave us some free garlic knots. The garlic knots are soft and fresh out of the oven, with garlic that was not too hard or excessive and com-bined excellently with a deli-cious marinara that brought out the full flavors of roma tomatoes and basil, exciting the palette for what was yet to come.

We ordered a bruschetta as an appetizer, and when it arrived, was fully topped off and looked divine. The bruschetta was made from a full thick slice of a fresh bread loaf made in-house and had the same softness and warm-

ness as the garlic knots. On top of the bruschetta was slightly melted parmesan cheese and bal-samic vinegar which was bitter and sweet, and left a flavor in your mouth that made you want to keep eating it even after it was gone.

After the bruschetta, the steam-ing hot margherita Pizza arrived and looked just as appetizing, if not more than the previous dishes. The fresh mozzarella, the basil leaves, and the whole tomato slices on the pizza create a unique flavorful margherita pizza that will make you keep eating until even the crust is gone.

After eating all this delectable Italian food, there was no way you could leave the restaurant without ordering a chocolate cannoli. The chocolate canno-li that came was made with a soft chocolate pastry crust and a cream filling so rich and sweet, I consumed it without setting it down until there was no trace left.

The food at Mamma Mia’s was so exquisite and the staff so welcoming that I will definitely be going back regularly for the rest of my time in Daytona. If you enjoy superb Italian food, then head down to the corner of Nova and Dunlawton.

In Time is a movie about a dystopian society in the future where people don’t age past 25,

but in order to keep on living they have to be born rich or work every hour of the day for more time. Director Andre Niccol best known for writing and direct-ing GATTACA delivered a great movie in his latest film In Time.

In Time featured a brand new story concept whose originality captured audiences throughout the entire length of the film. The movie presented audiences with a brand new idea of what the future might be like and how people might act in such a future.

In conjunction with a fresh plot, In Time also poses the age-old question of what the price for immortality should be. As original as the plot of the movie was, In Time would have tanked as many other hypothetical mov-ies have, if not for the skilled cast who maintained the flow of the film.

The cast of In Time acted

with such unexpected caliber that it made watching In Time more entertaining. After several failed attempts breaking out in a movie; it is great to finally see Amanda Seyfried starring in a good movie.

After starring in The Social Network and acting in several other successful films, Justin Timberlake in his latest role managed to make audiences for-get he was the guy who brought sexy back. The cast of In Time was able to communicate their acting skill in their portrayals after finally starring in a brilliant movie.

In time had an original story to tell and a skilled cast to do so earning this movie 4.5 airplanes out of 5. If you feel like spending 01:45:00 of your time sitting in a theatre then you are as richer than any of the lower class in this movie and will enjoy this film.
