Ban restricts sex offenders from much of Fla.city SAN ANTONIO, Fla. (AP) — Registered sex offenders aren't welcome in this small city north of Tampa. The San Antonio City Commission made that official Tuesday, adopting an ordinance that bans sex offenders from living within 1,500 feet of any school, day care, public or private park and bus stop. That means the ban, which applies to offenders who have been convicted of certain sexual crimes against children, covers essentially the entire city. There are less than 1,000 residents in San Antonio, including one registered sex offender. Officials say he won't be affected by the new ordinance because he moved in before it was approved.

What does it take to make a top Super Bowl commercial?
KEVIN HERNANDEZ Contributing Writer
CF alumnus Brandy Gill never thought an idea he had put away would possibly give him a TV spot during the Super Bowl. Gill, who graduated in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and in advertising and public relations, has entered a commercial he made into the Doritos and Pepsi MAX “Crash the Super Bowl” challenge. Out of 5,600 other entries, he is one of ten finalists. “I had the idea for a while, “ said Gill, the creative director at Acropolis Inc., an award-winning, full-service advertising agency in Orlando. “It was one of those things that I had filed away and when I saw the ad for the challenge, I thought I should use it.” The commercial Gill submitted starts with his boss, Scott Major, saying that Pepsi MAX has zero calories. Major encourages the people he is speaking with to take a sip. As they take a sip, they all exasperatedly sigh “Psshh” in disbelief. “It was inspired by my friends because I’ve got a couple buddies that make that sound all the time,” said Gill. “There really wasn’t much more thought than that.” The commercial cost $30 to make and was filmed in a confer-

Zac Stites’ final dunk in the second annual UCF Slam Dunk Contest impressed A.J. Rompza enough to warrant a lofty gift from the sophomore guard. “I just might have to give up my scholarship to him,” he said. Despite being the event’s shortest contestant, sophomore Stites rose above the competition to win the contest. Sponsored by Cru at UCF and supported by UCF Student Government Association, the contest was held Tuesday night at The Venue. The computer engineering major won the $200 first prize in a “dunk-off” with sophomore biology major Danny White. Stites defeated White and six other competitors by throwing down the four best dunks of the night and impressing the men’s basketball team who were the judges of the event. Stites took two alley-oops, jumped over a trampoline and did a cradle dunk, a slam dunk made famous by Michael Jordan. “He can get up, I have to admit it,” sophomore guard and judge

A pressing nonprofit for art BRITTANY BLACKSHEAR Contributing Writer
Handling fine artwork from Japan, Germany, New York and Bosnia is just a normal work task for fine arts major Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzalez interns at Flying Horse Editions, a fine art press and research center located inside of UCF’s Center for Emerging Media. The center stands across from the old Amway Arena downtown, and aside from being a gallery of the arts, it provides a creative workplace
for the community. It features Screen Actors Guild workshops, photo exhibits from international photographers and screenings of films produced by UCF students. Those interested in this unique art form can go to the center’s National Fine Arts Print Fair being held on Feb. 5 and 6. The print fair will be the first fine arts fair in the area and will give the public a chance to buy limited edition artwork by upcoming and renowned artists from across the country and elsewhere, according
to its director Theo Lotz. Lotz, who is also a UCF art professor, sees the press as a useful tool for, but not limited to, the UCF community. “Nationally renowned and emerging artists come and work in the FH studio, and the UCF community, students, staff and faculty can learn about their creative approach and process,” Lotz said. “It’s a wonderful teaching opportunity for our students.

Cross-continent course a success for most SOPHIA GRANIELA Contributing Writer
Most students who have taken typical online courses before know what to expect. The professor assigns readings, discussions — and then does a live broadcast of the lesson from another continent? The latter seems a bit unusual, but for more than 100 undergraduate anthropology and philosophy students at UCF, that’s exactly what they got. In November, humanities professor Bruce Janz and anthropology professor Rosalyn Howard went to South Africa and Swaziland to teach the second half of Janz’s African Humanities and Howard’s African Societies and Cultures online courses. The expedition was made possible by Interactive Expeditions, a research partnership between UCF and Cobham Inc directed by Phil Peters, a film and digital media professor at UCF. The satellite-based project offers real-time, mobile and remote education solutions that connect learners
at home with subject matter experts in the field. As long as there is a satellite link, researchers are able to broadcast to and from multiple places very quickly. “It can be done in the middle of the desert,” Janz said. The production equipment involves a mixing board and a B-roll, which allows media such as slides, PowerPoint and previously taped material to be edited into the live broadcast. “What’s unique about it is students have real time access,” Janz said. “They can use their webcams to ask questions, and they can talk directly to the people we’re talking to. It combines the interactive part with the mobile.” Peters has done past INTX research projects in Bermuda, India and the deserts of Utah and Arizona, which acted as trials that would set the planning for South Africa in motion. Field testing the equipment was a big goal for Janz, who wanted to access the software upgrades on a breakthrough teachers tablet — a piece of technology that allows the profes-
sors to interface with the whole system. “It’s a little bit like having an iPod in the field,” Janz said. Howard joined the crew in Johannesburg until Janz could meet them in Durbon a few weeks later. She had never been to South Africa before, but was eager to immerse her students in distance learning. “As a cultural anthropologist, I want my students to learn about other cultures and when they’re learning from books and films, there’s sometimes a gap,” Howard said. “This gave me the opportunity to give my students face-to-face, real time exposure.” The first broadcast was filmed at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. They spoke to the chair of the anthropology department about the history of South Africa and contemporary African music. The second broadcast was done in Soweto, at Nelson Mandela’s old residence. Rev. Jesse Jackson attended and granted the team a live interview to the students. “He was kind enough to
speak with our host for about 15 minutes, which is an exceptional amount of time for such happenstance,” said Jason Craycroft, a fourth year interdisciplinary studies major who took the course last semester. “It was amazing.” In total, there were eight, 90-minute broadcasts twice a week for four weeks and every broadcast had time allotted for a question and answer session. The broadcasts were for both Janz’s and Howard’s classes, with the content of them ranging from history lessons, to contemporary art and live music. In order to create one comprehensive picture, Howard emphasized South African history, and where people were coming from, whereas Janz emphasized contemporary Africa, and what it means to be creative in Africa today. While in Swaziland, Howard and the crew were able to show the students House on Fire, a venue showcasing eclectic African artwork. For many who saw it, it left a big impression. “The House on Fire might be the most interest-
ing of the African locales because this place is an astounding creative arts venue that I have yet to see matched even here in the U.S.,” Craycroft said. Howard believes in using art as a tool in the fight against AIDS. “It was like walking into a fantasy world,” she said. One of Howard’s favorite places was a small town called Bulembu in Swaziland, that is solely dedicated to becoming a self-sustaining community and helping orphans whose families and communities have been wiped out by HIV/AIDS. During the sixth broadcast, the students got to experience a tour of the Library of African Music by Andrew Tracy, the son of the man who founded it. They also got to see Souza dancers perform, and to Janz, that is what the expedition was all about. “The ideal thing is to ship them over there themselves. If you can’t do that, then this is a great way to get the content,” Janz said. The only drawbacks were the faults in technology. Some of the students in the class thrived because of
the real time interaction, while others became discouraged when glitches occurred, or they didn’t have the availability to sit stationary and watch each 90-minute broadcast. “This was a pilot,” said Howard who, along with Janz, did not hesitate to say they would do it again. Craycroft didn’t seem to mind the difficulties either, and overall appreciated the ability to see things for himself. “All too often, and possibly ironically so, when we study the humanities, we focus on the art and not the artist — the ‘human’ in ‘humanities,’” Craycroft said. He said that in a typical class setting, it would be impossible to recreate the clear mindset of the various people that were shown. “Literally all of the people we spoke to had a very inspiring attitude towards life and community and this was probably the best lesson to take from the class,” he said. “Overall it was a success,” Janz said. “It was a lot of hard work, but in the end, good things always are.”
Backpack bomb found at MLK event rattles Spokane NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — A bomb left along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade was a sophisticated explosive that had a remote detonator and the ability to cause many casualties, an official familiar with the case said Wednesday. The bomb, which was defused without incident on Monday, was the most potentially destructive he
had ever seen, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to release information about the investigation. The FBI said it has no suspects in the case and has asked the public for help in identifying anyone who might have been seen in the downtown area where the bomb was found. The FBI on Wednesday declined to reveal any details about the bomb, which was spotted by three
city employees about an hour before the parade was to start, said Frank Harrill, special agent in charge of the Spokane office. The employees looked inside, saw wires and immediately alerted law enforcement, and the parade was rerouted. The FBI received no warnings in advance and no one has claimed responsibility for planting the bomb, Harrill said. The bomb was contained inside a black back-
pack made by Swiss Army, and the FBI released a photo of the backpack as it sought information from the public. Also released were pictures of two Tshirts found in the pack. There was a gray T-shirt with writing for the Stevens County Relay for Life race last June. Stevens County is just north of Spokane County. The other dark Tshirt said Treasure Island Spring 2009. The FBI and local officials have praised as heroes
the city workers who spotted the backpack and quickly called police. Police were also hailed for immediately deciding to reroute the parade. The several hundred marchers, including many children, were not told why the route was changed. Harrill said the FBI has received some leads since offering a $20,000 reward for information on Tuesday. But the agency can’t discuss the leads publicly, he said. There were no notes in
the backpack, which has been shipped to an FBI lab in Quantico, Va., Harrill said. Investigators are also seeking anyone who took photographs or video in the area between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Monday. Investigators have said the bomb was carefully placed on a metal bench with a brick wall behind that would have directed shrapnel toward Main Street, where marchers were expected to pass.

Shortest on the court emerges as crowd fave FROM A1 Marcus Jordan said after the contest. “Coming in, I thought Danny would be the one to take it home. But I wasn’t expecting [Stites] to jump the way he did.” For his first round dunk, Stites set up a trampoline about seven feet from the rim. The crowd and judges looked puzzled as he stepped back to prepare for his dunk. “I thought he was going to jump on that thing,” sophomore forward Tristan Spurlock said. “I thought he was going to hurt himself.” Instead of jumping on it, Stites bounced from two steps behind the trampoline and slammed the ball in the hoop on his first attempt. Stites was a crowd favorite from that point on. White returned fire in the first round with a reverse windmill dunk, but Stites held his ground and took the lead in the third round. After the third round, White and Stites were tied, and each was given a final dunk. White went first and attempted an alley-oop set from the second floor of the building, but failed to complete the dunk. Stites threw down a set up from his partner and walked away with first prize. Even though everyone else seemed to be shocked at his victory, Stites wasn’t. “I thought I may win it,” Stites said after winning the contest. “The short, white kid is always a crowd favorite.” This was the second year that Cru, also known as Campus Crusade for Christ, held a dunk contest for students. It was the first time that the regulation height was
implemented. “We had an adjustable hoop last year,” said Spencer Dewald, the event’s coordinator. “So the quality of our dunkers is a lot higher this year. I hate to say it, but a lot of the guys that competed last year wouldn’t be able to do it this time around.” With the help of SGA, the event was also moved to The Venue to help accommodate a larger crowd, which Cru President Dave Pezoli said was one of the main targets of the event. “The biggest thing we’re trying to do on campus is trying to build community,” Pezoli said. “UCF has such a large campus, and it’s very easy for a student to get lost on campus.” Cru currently has 400
members and has branches across the UCF community. “We have weekly meetings every Thursday night with different events and activities,” Pezoli said. “We’re just trying to create a place that students can connect with each other and discover who they are.” Next year, Cru hopes to hold the dunk contest in the fall as part of UCF’s Midnight Madness, a celebration of the start of the college basketball season. “UCF always gets knocked because we don’t have many on-campus traditions,” said SGA Campus Traditions Coordinator Keal Blache. “If handled right, this could be a regular tradition for UCF basketball. The players love coming out for it.”

UCF still peeved over Athletic Assn. ruling FROM A1 an unlimited amount from the university. The following month after the Circuit Court’s ruling, Deutsche Bank started foreclosure proceedings on the Plancher’s
home in Naples. Assistant Vice President of UCF News and Information Grant Heston said the university believes that the Athletic Association is clearly a state agency. “The football helmet doesn’t say UCF Athletic
Association, the scoreboard doesn’t say UCF Athletic Association; it says UCF,” said Heston. “Very respectfully, we want to ask the courts to reconsider.” Prior to the court’s decision to push back the trial date, a mediation meeting
between Plancher’s father Enock and UCF in December 2010 was unsuccessful. The Plancher family’s attorney David Dallas Dickey and UCF’s attorney Daniel Ari Shapiro could not be reached for comment.

Nonprofit relies on student interns to run press FROM A1 interested in contemporary art to engage with these artists and to purchase their works.” Flying Horse Editions functions mainly as a press through which artists use various mediums to produce their artwork. Most commonly, artists use screen-printing, woodblock, digital printing and etching. John Dieder, a recent graduate, has been interning at Flying Horse Editions for a year and a half and understands the intricate and valuable process printing entails. “The artists will engrave their art on a printing matrix. A printing matrix is the source for an image and the physical foundation for which an art image is inscribed,” Dieder said. “Then we will ink and clean the printing matrix, run it under the press and the image is then transferred onto a paper. Depending on what we decide, that particular image will be a limited edition, so it will only be printed a limited number of times.” Flying Horse Editions is a non-profit press. It is funded by its members, the people who choose to receive three projects Flying Horse Editions produces each year. It is also funded by the sales of other work the press produces. As a nonprofit, Flying Horse Editions relies heavily on UCF students

as its interns every semester. Ashley Taylor, a senior graphic design major, interned at Flying Horse Editions this past fall. “The art of printing is often overlooked compared to other styles of art, but Flying Horse has helped to revive the medium in new and inventive ways and is
bringing it to the community,” Taylor said. “Printing allows artwork to be passed out in the masses. Unlike other media, printing allows [artists] to make a piece of art and reproduce it many times.” Taylor believes that because printing is gaining prominence, it’s an important skill for art students to learn.
“The press also gives students a great opportunity to work in a professional environment and to gain a hands-on experience in the area of printmaking
through semester internships.” Flying Horse Editions is typically open on weekdays from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. However, on the weekends
someone is always there working. For more information, visit their website at www.flyinghorse.cah.ucf. edu.

If I had thought that we would have gotten this far, I would have put more work into it.” Despite his doubts, Gill received a phone call from Pepsi’s public relations people and was in total disbelief when he heard the news. “It was a total shock. I didn’t know what the hell they were talking about, “ Gill said. “I thought I owed them money. I had no idea why they were calling me and they said ‘surprise you’re in the top 10.’ ” Major wasn’t surprised by Gill’s accomplishment at all. “Nothing would surprise me with him,” Major said. “He is an amazing talent and the most amazing part about him is his inclusiveness of ideas with his team. He always aims high. That’s one of the reasons we pursued him [as an employer]. I think he did a great job.” Major was excited to take part in the commercial with the staff. “It was a blast,” he said. “I’m not a shy person, but until you actually get to the other side of a camera, even on the amateur level, its interesting how it challenges you to keep your own personality. Watching everyone bring out their personalities helped me. No agent will be calling me for a movie roll any time soon though.” The top five finalists for Doritos and Pepsi MAX will receive $25,000. The top three commercials from each brand will be aired during Super Bowl XLV.

Gill is the only top contender from the state of Florida and is ecstatic about that. “Everybody else that came in the top 10 are from California and they’re involved in production and film and want to be directors,” Gill said. “I hope that in some way it will shed a little bit of light on Orlando and Central Florida because there are a lot of talented and creative people here.” Junior Aerospace Engineering major Rick Sanchez also shares the same enthusiasm that Gill has. “It think it’s great that a UCF alumni may have a Super Bowl commercial,” Sanchez said. “It shows how big UCF is and how much we are progressing through the nation.” Gill has been using social media to encourage people to vote for his commercial. He has created a Facebook page, facebook.com/voteforbrandy, and has been tweeting about it. He
even arranged a Tweetup on Wednesday at Lizy McCormack’s, which is where individuals who tweet meet up in the real world. He has also had segments done about him on Fox 35 and did a call-in interview with Real Radio 104.1. Despite being in the top 10, Gill isn’t entirely confident he’ll win because his competition spent millions of dollars to produce. If he does win $1 million, he plans on taking care of his family and friends and investing in his friend’s idea to start an Orange Blossom Pilsner brewery in downtown Orlando. He plans on sharing the $25,000 with all of the people who have helped him get to where he is today. Gill will not find out if his commercial is one of the top three for Pepsi MAX until the night of Super Bowl XLV. Voting can be done three times a day from a computer, mobile phone and Xbox.

CLOSE CALL FOR FEDERER AT AUSTRALIAN OPEN MELBOURNE, Australia — Defending champion Roger Federer admitted he was lucky to escape with a victory at the Australian Open on Wednesday, edging Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 in the second round. Early on it seemed as if Simon, who had beaten Federer in their only two previous meetings, would send the Swiss star packing out of a Grand Slam before the third round for the first time since the French Open in 2003 — a total of 31 majors. But the usually reserved Federer pumped his fist in celebration with each point in the final few games. He broke Simon’s service in the sixth game of the deciding set to go up 4-2, held his service to go up 5-2, then held his serve two games later to clinch it with an ace on his fifth match point. “I remained positive ... it paid off. I got lucky. I’m happy I’m still in the tournament,” Federer said. Simon said he needed “time to get used to (Federer’s) game,” which helped him win the third and fourth sets. “It’s going fast, he’s moving fast, it’s just impressive,” Simon said. “There are not too many players able to play to this level.” “I wasn’t playing poorly in the third and fourth set, but Gilles took it to me. Clearly, he’s a great player first of all. Matches against him don’t come easily ... hopefully we don’t play each other anymore!” In other matches, Venus Williams also had some drama getting through to the third round, overcoming a painful injury to beat Sandra Zahlavoa of the Czech Republic 6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-4. Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, last year’s finalist Justine Henin and 2008 champion Maria Sharapova also advanced.

Huxtable, who was with UCF for seven years, was the defensive coordinator for the Knights for the past three years. “I think Dave is a great addition to our staff,” Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema said in a release. “He brings a ton of experience, having coached the linebacker position virtually his entire career.” Huxtable served as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator prior to his most recent gig as the defensive coordinator. “Dave Huxtable did an awful lot of good things here at UCF with our defense,” said head coach George O’Leary in a statement released by UCF Athletics. “I wish him well in the future.” The Knights’ defense was continually a topranked Conference USA unit and produced NFL talents Joe Burnett and Torell Troup during Huxtable’s tenure as the defensive coordinator. “I'm really excited about the opportunity to coach at Wisconsin,” Huxtable said in a release. “The University of Wisconsin is a top-notch program with great tradition. When I came up to visit I was so impressed with the people, the coaching staff and coach Bielema. I'm very excited to get the opportunity to work for

UCF finishes third in nationals, coach honored REBECCA STRANG Staff Writer
While the cheerleading team finished in third place last weekend at the UCA/UDA National College Cheer and Dance Championship, the UCF spirit program’s head coach, Linda Gooch, was honored with the Colonel Gene Moeller Award. The award has been distributed annually for the past seven years to a university administrator who has largely impacted their university’s spirit program. The award is a huge recognition for Gooch, as well as for the whole spirit program at UCF. “It’s a great honor for me, but really for our school and our program,” Gooch said. “It’s not really so much for me, but really for all of the alumni that have come before.” Gooch began as a UCF cheerleader herself in the spring of 1981, when the team consisted of six females and six males and
was still listed under student affairs instead of being listed as an athletics program. After cheering on the squad, she became the team’s coach in the spring of 1984 and has been working ever since then to expand and improve the UCF spirit program. After 10 years of coaching at UCF, the team received their first invite to the UCA College Cheer Nationals in 1994 as a Division I-AA team. Since 1997, the team has competed as a Division I-A team and has placed in the top-10 16 times out of 18 years of competition, including the claiming of two National Championship titles in 2003 and 2007. Going into Nationals this past weekend at Disney’s Wide World of Sports, the Knights were ranked third for the South Region. The finalists round took place Sunday and consisted of the top-15 teams out of 20 competing from across the nation. After a fierce competition
with the Kentucky Wildcats and Alabama Crimson Tide, UCF secured the third-place national slot and Alabama grabbed the championship title. This is now the UCF spirit program’s 12th top-3 finish since the program began competing in 1994. “You know, there were some minor setbacks but overall it’s one of the cleanest routines we’ve thrown all year,” said senior cheerleader Keith Gross. “I’m extremely proud of everyone and the team for still being third in the nation.” Gross has cheered for the UCF spirit program for the past three years and praises Gooch for her work. “She’s one of the most organized, caring people I’ve ever met,” Gross said. “She fought so hard to get me into this program. She fights for what she wants and she doesn’t give up. She pushes and pushes for us to be the greatest and for everything that she wants.”

Daniels, Patrick look to lead in test vs. Memphis AARON CROUCH Women’s basketball beat writer
After losing their first conference game of the season, the Knights will look to get back on track against the Memphis Tigers on Thursday. The loss to SMU was a tough one, but the Knights (10-7 overall) must put that in the past as they still sit in a great spot in the early conference standings (3-1, 3rd in
Conference USA). “We didn't have any offensive continuity, we weren't very disciplined and that led to some breakdowns,” said head coach Joi Williams in a release. “Those are some things we can learn from moving forward.” Memphis (13-5, 2-2 CUSA) sits only one game behind UCF in the conference standings. The Tigers are desperately in need of a
win after losing their last two games, both conference matchups, against UAB and UTEP. UCF beat UAB last week 65-55. The Tigers had previously won 10 consecutive games, including their first two conference games, averaging 69.4 points per game during that stretch. The Tigers are led by a Preseason All-Conference selection in Brittany Carter who is averaging 13.2 points
per game as well as junior Jasmine Lee who averages nearly a double-double with 12.1 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. As conference play has begun, the Knights have stepped their game up. Senior D’Nay Daniels (14.5 points per game for the season) is averaging 17.5 points per game in conference play. Junior Aisha Patrick (11.2 points per game for the season) is averaging 14.8
points per game in conference play. But the Knights need more from the bench. In the last four games, the Knights’ starting five have accounted for 87.3 percent of the team's points. In that stretch, the bench has scored just 35 of 276 points, 11 in the last two games UCF holds a slight edge in the series at 6-5; however, Memphis did win both games last year. The
Knights are 3-2 all-time at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, last winning on the Tigers' home floor on Jan. 8, 2009, 85-67. The game, which tips off at 8 p.m., can be heard on either WAMT 1190 AM or WHOO - ESPN 1080 AM. After Thursday’s matchup, the Knights play at the Arena on Sunday afternoon to host Marshall at 2 p.m. The first 500 fans will receive a free T-shirt.
O’Leary has big shoes to fill Miami’s Chris Bosh out, FROM A7 him. I'm looking forward to getting up to Madison and winning football games.” Huxtable was one of the longest-tenured members of UCF’s coaching staff. In the 2007 season, prior to his time as defensive coordinator, UCF’s defense
allowed an average 27.8 points and 379.3 yards per game. UCF, ranked 12th nationally on defense, allowed 18 points and 318.1 yards per game. “His defenses at UCF were very well-coached, as evidenced by their success this season,” said Bielema. “As good a coach as he is, he is even a better person
and he will fit into our staff very well.” Leigh Torbin, director of communications for UCF Athletics, said that there has been no inclination of whether O’Leary wants to replace Huxtable with a current member of the coaching staff or if there is a timetable for the decision.
Arena crowd helps Knights FROM A7 Knights were the hottest CUSA team, but have quickly learned the price of attention and being the hunted. “It’s definitely a lot different having the target on your back,” said center Tom Herzog. Fortunately for the Knights, they get to return to their home court, where they’ve been flawless. Before Wednesday’s game against ECU, the Knights were a perfect 10-0 at home. Early in the season, the Knights were blowing out opponents, including Jackson State, West Florida, USF and Princeton. Now the Knights will prepare for Rice, who has lost four consecutive games coming into the contest. Still, the Owls have notched victories against LSU and TCU, marking an inconsistency that does not allow for them to be taken lightly. UCF will have their hands full with a pair of Owls scorers in Arsalan Kazemi and Tamir Jackson, averaging 16.6 and 12.9 points per game, respectively. The Knights have been bolstered all season by rising attendance numbers and will have to hope that trend continues. Record crowds have already been

on hand this season to see the Knights take on Furman and Marshall, and after many of the first ten home games, the players and coaches have credited the fan base for helping to propel the team. Guard A.J. Rompza has referred to the growing crowds as the ‘sixth man’ for the Knights, and after multiple games Jones has not hesitated to give the fans credit for giving his team “great lift.” “I think [the fans are] a credit to this team and how they play,” Jones said. “They’ve been fun to come
out and watch.” Big crowd or not, the real issues for the Knights have been consistency and making adjustments. During the Knights win streak, those were two things the club was able to achieve. But after dropping two consecutive away games, it has been absent. Jones has said all season that his team’s inability to put together a true 40-minute game leaves him optimistic that the best is yet to come. “I think there’s a lot of room improvement for this group right now, which is the good news,” Jones said.
James starts vs. Hawks TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — When LeBron James arrived for a shootaround practice Tuesday morning, his sprained left ankle was still sore and swollen. By game time, the NBA’s two-time reigning MVP was good to go. James started for Miami on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, ending an absence where the Heat lost games in Denver and Chicago with him sidelined. The Heat, however, were without forward Chris Bosh, who sprained his left ankle in the Chicago loss. “We do have versatility on the roster,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “This is probably the time it’ll show the most, playing guys that weren’t necessarily playing big minutes, they’ll be able to step up and have their opportunity.” Joel Anthony started at power forward in place of Bosh, who was ruled out early Tuesday. James missed his customary pregame media session Tuesday, getting even more treatment. The determination was made about 45 minutes before tip-off that he would start. James, Bosh and Dwyane Wade — Miami’s Big 3 — all missed practice Monday as well. Wade has a sore left knee, courtesy of a collision with the Bulls’ Kurt Thomas in the Chicago loss on Saturday, and was still battling some swelling on Tuesday, but sitting out was never an option.
JAE C. HONG / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miami Heat forward LeBron James grimaces after he sprained his ankle during the second half of an NBA basketball game with the Los Angeles Clippers in Los Angeles.
“No matter who’s on the floor ... we’ve got to find a way to get a win versus one of the hottest teams in the league,” Wade said. Spoelstra said he had five different lineup cards ready, depending on whether or not James would play. It was turning into a chess game of sorts; Hawks coach Larry Drew said he was waiting on his lineup decision until seeing who Miami had available. The Hawks aren’t perfectly healthy either. Forward Marvin Williams missed his ninth straight game with a lower back injury. After Tuesday, the Heat do not play again
until hosting Toronto on Saturday, giving Bosh plenty of time to heal. Bosh was hurt with 30.7 seconds left in the third quarter in Chicago, going for the ball while the Bulls’ Omer Asik dove for it as well. Asik rolled into Bosh’s lower leg, and the Heat forward immediately grabbed at his left shin in obvious pain — and the way he tumbled prompted fears that the injury could be bad. “He’s making progress,” Spoelstra said. “He’s moving around better today. Certainly not ready to run and explode off of it, but if you saw the footage, the replay of it, we’re just thankful it’s minor at this point.”

Otronicon comes up short on video game hype and demos FRANCISCO O. GARCIA Contributing Writer
The Orlando Science Center hosted its annual interactive technology convention, Otronicon from Jan. 14 through 17. As convention-goers entered the transformed museum, they were greeted by flashing lights, blaring sounds and frenetic shouts of the crowd already inside. Visitors were given the opportunity to take part in a bevy of demonstrations, workshops and trials of new forms of interactive entertainment. Local companies such as Electronic Arts studio Tiburon and Cubic Corp., a realistic gun simulation company, placed their technologies on the floor for demonstrations. The convention even attracted distant companies to its door from as far away as New York. Virtusphere Inc., the technology group responsible for the demo, came all the way from New York to allow guests at the convention the chance to try out this technology for themselves. Locals recognized the Virtusphere to have visual similarities as the well-known Spaceship Earth dome at Disney’s Epcot. A virtual reality display with real time positioning technology was strapped to the participant’s head and they were maneuvered into the sphere. It took some practice to get oneself comfortable enough to walk with confidence but the CEO of Virtusphere, Ray Latypov, showed the audience gathered around his invention how one could run at a full pace within the sphere. He suggested a variety of applications from fitness and military training to physical and mental rehabilitation. EA also played a major role in sponsoring the event. They had several demonstrations of their products including a live demo of their virtual playbook, which has been used on networks like ESPN and FOX Sports. They even set up a stage to showcase the new Rock Band game and live
“bands” were encouraged to sign up for their chance in the spotlight. Applied Cognition and Training in Immersive Virtual Environments, a UCF-affiliated research laboratory, demonstrated some of their recent work. ACTIVE had an R/C car set in a maze that participants could direct using a Nintendo Wii MotionPlus controller by leaning it forward and backward for motion and turning it left and right to change direction. Although it was fun, it also served an ulterior motive. The true purpose of this demonstration was to show how the software and robotics they developed could operate a vehicle and make real time decisions about its surroundings. For example, to be able to sense if it is in the presence of friendly or hostile soldiers, and for the goal of patrolling streets, disarming bombs while performing reconnaissance work autonomously. Most visitors came for the promise of a video game convention and may have left disappointed in this regard. With so few actual video game developers and publishers actually taking part in the festivities, it left a gap only filled by industries on the fringe of interactive media and entertainment. Nevertheless, there were still an array of video game tournaments and playable demos on the showroom floor. There was even a classic arcade were gamers could try their hands at the 7-foot cabinet arcades of the past and get a taste of how gaming was like back then. Video game-inspired music and art characterized the convention as a place for creativity and imagination. Orlando, a city with its fair share of technology and media driven industries, has once again given the public a look at emerging interactive technologies at Otronicon. The convention fulfilled its promised to venture into all things related to interactive technology from video games and robotics to creative pursuits like music and art.

Students share ways to stretch dollars ADOLFO CEBALLOS Staff Writer
With the economy still in recovery, many students are finding themselves looking at different ways to save money. Daniel Flynn, a junior nursing major, has decided to use alternative means of transportation to cut his costs. Although he is the proud owner of a 1991 silver Audi A4, these days he lets it collect dust in his garage. Flynn instead relies on LYNX to get him where he needs to go. He lives in Maitland and takes Link 434 from there to UCF, a trip which he said is four hours each way. He said that the money that he saves is well worth the extended trip. “You can get all the way across town with two dol-
lars,” Flynn said. Flynn said that he saves $200 a month by not using his car. Flynn also works two days a week at Piano Distributors, located on South Orange Blossom Trail, and saves money by not driving there. He usually catches a ride with his boss. Flynn also uses other simple methods that save him money. He cooks his own food and does not eat out. He also enjoys inexpensive activities, such as going to the beach or socializing with friends. He also sells his textbooks for cash, like many students do. “I’ll sell them back to get as much money back as possible instead of keeping them at the end of the semester,” Flynn said. “That gives me money
back.” Flynn also takes advantage of Safelink, a free cell phone service supported by the federal government that is available to people who meet certain income
eligibility requirements. He said he gets 250 minutes a month through this service. Another student who uses the bus to save money is Shane Terrell, a
freshman biology major. Terrell owns a car, but left it at home in Stuart to save money. “I don’t have to pay for gas,” Terrell said. “I don’t have to pay for insurance right now.” Terrell estimates that he saves $200 a month on insurance costs, and $30 a week on gas. He lives at the Collegiate Village Inn apartments on University Boulevard, so he normally relies on UCF buses and his skateboard to get him around. He also finds that using his UCF meal plan helps him to cut costs by providing a nearby dining option. The UCF meal plan is also a way for Bo Kennedy, a freshman aerospace engineering major, to save

VEGGIN’ OUT
Five things I hate about dairy: More bodily harm than good OK, pop quiz time. Question 1: When human babies are born, what do they eat/drink? Answer: Most of the time it is their mother’s breast milk. Question 2: When baby cows are born, what do they eat/drink? Answer: Milk from their mother’s utters. The reason for this is that cows produce milk for the same reason humans do. Cow’s milk is meant to raise calves. Calves are generally big, or at least larger than you and I were at birth. Do you see where I’m going with this? Breast milk is meant to nurse 8-pound babies into 24-pound toddlers. Cows’ milk is meant to grow a 90pound calf into a 2,000pound cow in two years. An uglier side to this tragedy is that some calves are not so lucky to even be breast fed. Some are sent off to become veal. VEAL! People actually eat poor baby cows, with a side of potatoes and a Coke. Sad face. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in the food chain. I understand that we are the greatest species and blah, blah, blah. But we’re not cavemen and women anymore. We don’t need to hunt for our food. Most of us, at least in this country, have everything readily available for us. For those who don’t, go for it — hunt away. Maybe that’s what certain groups of people need to do for survival. But here, in America? It is just time to adapt to the fact that we don’t need to kill animals and eat meat to survive. Once the calves are taken away to become dinner, the mommy cows are hooked up, multiple times a day, to heavyduty milking machines.
ELYSSA SCHWARTZ Columnist
Wait, did you actually think Farmer Joe woke up at 6 a.m. every day, sat on a stool and milked each cow with his bare hands? Keep dreaming. These machines force cows to produce about 10 times as much milk as they would naturally for a calf. So many unnatural hormones and chemicals go into this process as well. Think that’s painful for the cow? It is. Not to mention all the blood and pus that seeps out with the milk from the excruciating squeezing of each udder (which, at this point, is already inflamed from heavy hormone manipulation.) Not only is the entire process unnatural, it is just plain unnatural for us to drink another mammal’s milk. We are the only species that does this, and the only species that continues to drink milk once the breast, teat, udder — whatever you want to call it — dries up. Luckily, there are alternatives! Now that we are all used to drinking milk with our cereal, chocolate milk, milk shakes, ice cream and so on, we don’t have to give it up! What a relief, right? I can’t imagine giving up ice cream. In fact, I eat ice cream several times a week and it tastes better and is less fattening than regular ice cream. Same goes for milk. I could not live without cereal, I could eat it for every
meal. Instead of dairy milk, I drink almond milk -- SO much better! Allergic to nuts? Try soy milk. Soy’s not your thing? Try rice milk, coconut milk, the list is practically endless. I promised tasty alternatives and I don’t plan on letting you down. Not only are all of these options healthier and better tasting, they also last much longer in the fridge than that gallon of milk you have sitting in there right now. Bonus! Listed below are the top 10 reasons to ditch dairy according to The Plant-Based Dietitian, Julieanna Hever, MS, RD. And of course, I took liberty upon myself to mix in some of my own commentary and ideas. 1. Dairy destroys your bones. Whoever made up the rumor that milk helps you grow your bones big and strong is a liar. And those “Got Milk?” ads are pretty cute, too. Countries around the world that drink the most dairy have the most osteoporosis and hip fractures. The more dairy you eat or drink, the more bone density you lose. 2. Allergies, ear infections, bronchial health problems, sinus issues, constipation, anemia, irritable bowel syndrome and many other conditions are worsened or even brought on to begin with by consuming dairy. 3. It smells! Seriously. I recall some ancient issue of Seventeen magazine suggesting to “just say no” to ice cream after dinner when on a date. Dairy is terrible for your breath! The reason for this is that once you’re done eating something, the bacteria resides inside your mouth.
Meal plan saves dough FROM A10 money. Kennedy uses the All-Access 7-meal plan, which costs $1,700 a semester. If he is on the go, Kennedy can instead get a to-go box from the Marketplace or Knightro’s to take with him. The plan provides for unlimited meals at
Knightro’s and the Marketplace, which is a plus for Kennedy’s healthy appetite. “I probably eat six or seven times a day,” Kennedy said. “I eat quite a bit.” Kennedy also does not use a car to get himself around; he relies on his skateboard. “I can try and find a
ride from one of my friends if I have to, but I skateboard everywhere,” Kennedy said. The struggling economy may force many students to rethink how they spend their money. Kennedy, Flynn and Terrel are three students that have found different ways to stretch their dollar.
Bacteria breaks down the foods into their various components as part of the digestion process; milk, of course, is primarily made up of protein. In turn, the protein consists of various amino acids. As the bacteria are digesting these amino acids, bacteria activity gives rise to a volatile emission of sulfuric compounds. The more bacteria you have in your mouth, the more sulfuric compounds are released and the longer the stink will linger. Good luck getting that second kiss! As for another unattractive characteristic, dairy is highly acidic and creates excess mucus. 4. Casein is a protein found in cow’s milk. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, found casein to be a powerful cancer promoter after decades of laboratory research. He was able to turn cancer on and off simply by increasing the amount of raw casein fed.
Plus, countless studies have proven that vegans are less likely to develop cancer. In fact, a vegan diet maximizes the intake of foods that help fight cancer. Up to 40 percent of all cancers are preventable. 5. Human beings are designed to drink human milk for a certain period of time while we still have the specific digestive enzymes in our stomachs. Otherwise, Mother Nature simply never intended for us to drink another species’ milk throughout our adult years. Fathom that. We are the only species that drinks the lactation excretions of another species. Ew! Additionally, the USDA declares what is and is not acceptable to put in our foods. However, what we as the public do not know is that those same chemicals that are deemed unfit for humans to eat are being fed to the cattle — the same cattle we get our milk and burgers from. I know I mentioned
baby steps last week. And that’s completely acceptable. I know, it’s hard. But trust me, you’ll survive. And lucky for you you’ll survive even longer! Substitute your favorite cheeses, milks, yogurts, cream cheese and so on. Check out Publix’s produce section near the organic veggies. There you’ll find endless flavors of cheese, even shredded cheese for tacos, along with other delicious vegan and vegetarian options. Go explore. And the best part is, you wont be able to taste the difference! The Publix Greenwise section is also packed with non-dairy options such as dairy-free mayonnaise. Try the milks I listed earlier. If you happen to live near a Whole Foods, check it out. They have yogurts made from soy and rice. Even if you just free yourself from dairy for a week you will feel a difference.

OUR STANCE
Hard classes key to learning I
n the time we’ve spent at UCF, we’ve realized that college should be mostly about what you learn and the experiences you gain and less about the grades you earn. Of course, a high GPA is important for maintaining scholarships and graduate school applications, but a 4.0 won’t necessarily help in the real world. On Tuesday, a book titled Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses was released by the University of Chicago Press. The book’s release has many people questioning higherlevel learning institutions and wondering what a college degree is even worth these days. The book, authored by a sociology professor from New York University and an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Virginia, focuses on a study of more than 2,300 undergraduate students at 24 highereducation establishments across the country. The whole purpose of the study was to determine what or if undergraduates are actually learning in college. The researchers approached this question by asking the students involved to take the Collegiate Learning Assessment both prior to and during their time in college. According to the test’s website, it is designed “to assess [students’] abilities to think critically, reason analytically, solve problems and communicate clearly and cogently,” all these skills
together represent a student’s ability to learn. One would think that through a student’s college experience, he or she would see a gradual improvement in these skill areas; the results, however, proved the contrary. Of the students surveyed, 36 percent “did not demonstrate any significant improvement in learning” during their four years in college. For those who did improve, the gain was minimal. The researchers found this by using standard deviation to measure the student’s overall gain both at the two- and four-year points. Over the first two years the average gain among students was 0.18 standard deviations and after four years the gain was 0.47. This means that after four years a student has moved from the 50th percentile of their class to the 68th percentile. However, this jump is only in comparison to a new group of freshmen who are just now entering college. Although the results show very little gains in learning, the authors do point out that the average student had a respectable 3.2 GPA. The authors of the book blame the low levels of learning on a lack of difficulty in the classroom. The survey answers indicated that half of the students never took a class that required a total of 20 written pages over the semester.
Those who were taking harder classes that required more work were more likely to excel educationally because of the increased effort level. We shudder at the thought of all our precious tuition dollars essentially being thrown away. We came to college to learn and improve our mental abilities; if that means taking a 4000-level class instead of spending the semester at the bar, so be it. UCF students shouldn’t merely aim to float through easy classes. They should put effort into getting good grades in hard classes, especially in light of this new research that suggests that this is the primary way to increase learning. It’s not just students that need to re-evaluate their methods, the study also found that teachers are often more concerned about their research than they are about first- and second-year students, which explains why younger students experience the lowest gains in learning. Teachers shouldn’t be afraid to dish out the tough assignments to younger students; this will truly prepare them for their later years where classes are more difficult while simultaneously increasing their learning abilities. Although these findings are bothersome, we hope it will trigger some change in the realm of higher education. It’s our job to really challenge ourselves and make the most out of our education.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Focus on GPA turns us into mindless 4.0 drones In today’s Future, “Our Stance” is about grades in higher education and the overall value of a college degree in today’s society. Personally, as I have progressed through UCF, I’ve slowly started to worry less and less about my grades. Maybe it’s because I’m into my fifth year at UCF, or maybe it’s because I’ve been done with my major-related classes for more than a year now. Either way, it almost feels like I’m spending money just to reach that 120 credit hour threshold. I understand that this is required for a reason, but at the same time, I can’t blame people who lose motivation and don’t really care about their grades any more. Throughout high school, my social life took a big hit because of the workload involved; I would routinely come home at 3 p.m. and work on tedious, dull homework until after midnight. I learned a lot, but only when I was challenged. Needless to say, high school was an uphill battle. When I started at UCF as a history major, the challenge remained the same for me. History as a study is a degree that is very intensive in reading, writing and research, and these subjects are exactly what I was used to being tested on. I’m very proud of my GPA in the major. What I’m not so sure of, however, are my grades outside of it. I was never a C student until I had completed the major. Since I completed it over a year ago, I’ve found myself studying less and less for tests. Instead, I’ve traded that time with being absorbed in the lectures and reading material from more of an exploratory standpoint. This isn’t to say that I’ve learned less. I’ve actually learned a lot more than I ever thought I would have, especially in philosophy and political science classes that I’ve taken as electives. After a while, though, regurgitation gets
old. Multiple-choice tests get old. Short ID questions get old. It gets to the point where you just want to sit down, read the chapter and take away from it what you were meant to: an impact upon the way you see the world around you. That being said, I have a hard time judging people who earn average grades. Whenever someone talks about low GPA scores adversely affecting a school and the reasons for those average or low scores, they often don’t consider all of the possible causes. Personally, it has always been about the professor. My Advanced Placement U.S. History teacher in high school created a very unique atmosphere; she became very close with all of her students and made absolutely sure that they always had an opportunity to ask her questions. Ultimately, she made it so I never, ever wanted to let her down and I worked hard to make sure that I didn’t. Professors, by becoming more than just repeaters of information, can create such an atmosphere. It’s not an easy thing to do, but it’s very rewarding for both parties. For professors that I’ve hated letting down, I’ve earned high marks. In classes that involved repetitive tests, simple lectures and corporation-like environments, I’ve always felt a lack of motivation. I’ve always studied and learned a lot of the information, but I was never worried about grades in such classes. My point is this: Numbers don’t explain everything. I would rather come out of UCF with a 3.2 having learned a lot than a 4.0 that was earned through an inordinate amount of busy work. I’ve gone to schools in many places and I can safely say that the best instructors I’ve ever had have been UCF-related. So, the next time you have a heart attack about your grades, keep in mind that college is about learning and growing up, not putting down a 4.0 in black and white.
