KnightLYNX launches Friday Free safe ride gears up for service KATIE KUSTURA News Editor

A safe-ride program at UCF is no longer sitting in neutral. Friday will be the official launch of KnightLYNX, the first-ever safe-ride program to come to fruition at UCF. From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, UCF students can use their student IDs to access the free

service for safe transportation to and from various stops in the UCF and Waterford Lakes areas. “This is a great moment for student government and a stepping stone that many administrations have tried to conquer,” said the program’s director, Adam Brock, “and I’m proud to say that I was a part of the administration that did conquer it.”

Each bus will have 28 seats with a maximum capacity of 42 people. The service will have two routes for students to choose from: the Green Line and the Blue Line. The Green Line will stop at apartment complexes and shopping centers located off McCulloch Road and Alafaya Trail and will not go past Central Florida

If good news comes in threes, then UCF has just had its third win. After becoming ranked in basketball and football this year, UCF has earned a different kind of ranking— one that could mean UCF students are getting more bang for their buck. Kiplinger’s Finance Magazine ranked UCF No. 33 in their ‘best values in public colleges’ list. The ranking was released Jan. 5 and selected1 100 public universities in the nation. Last year, UCF — TAYLOR MECHE SOPHOMORE ranked ENGINEERING MAJOR 36th on the list and has advanced a total of 12 spots in the past two years. The list consists of four-year institutions that maintain high graduation rates while keeping costs of attending to a minimum. To create the list, Kiplinger’s takes into account SAT and ACT scores of incoming freshmen, student-faculty ratio and annual financial aid disbursement. According to Grant Heston from UCF News & Information, the average freshman SAT score in fall 2006 was 1202 and last fall it jumped to 1237. In the 2005-2006 school year $198.4 million was awarded in financial aid and in 2009-2010 $345.8 mil-

Carnegie names UCF a top research school SARAH KEZER Contributing Writer

UCF is now ranked as one of the top research universities in the United States, according to a nationwide analysis recently released last week by the Carnegie Foundation. The foundation, which revises their collegiate analysis about every five years, awarded UCF with the status of “RU/VH,” meaning a university with very

high research activity. UCF was one of 108 public and private universities — among Princeton, Stanford, Harvard and MIT — to receive this distinction from the total 4,633 colleges considered. Carnegie’s ranking arrives on the heels of several other recent honors bestowed upon the university’s research and development sector. Last year, UCF was ranked third in the nation for impactful

Countdown to spring break: six short weeks CFF STAFF Previously published last spring

With the weather still bogging down Florida with sporadic thunderstorms and surprisingly chilly conditions, northern travel for spring break seems to be no longer an option. How convenient that we live where the rest of the world vacations. Sticking at home isn’t so bad, after all. Florida is home to more than just Disney and Panama City. We took a look at some cheap and close destinations for your scaled back spring break.

Clearwater/St.Petersburg The beaches: Clearwater is regularly rated as one of the whitest beaches in America, and Fort Desoto in southern Pinellas County was rated by Dr. Beach as the best overall beach in the country. Desoto is a perfect mix of backwoods camping and tropical paradise, and it’s on the site of a Civil War fortification, if the history nerd inside of you is interested. The downtown scene: Downtown St. Pete might not look like much from the outside, but it’s full of unique dive bars and concert venues that give life to the otherwise sleepy town. Directly across the street from Tropicana Field, Ferg’s Sports Bar serves as a great post-baseball game drinking hole. Bishop Tavern is a regular hangout spot for celebs and out-of-town athletes, and it’s become known as one of the best bars for drink specials downtown. The State Theatre and Jannus Landing are wellknown venues in the music

world, and despite their small, roomy sizes, they still pull in top names in rock and hip-hop. What makes it unique: The Gulf Coast is known most for its great bars and restaurants that line the water and truly give Pinellas County its “beach bum” attitude. Salt Rock Grill on Indian Rocks Beach is just one of many along the coast that fishermen’s boats pull right up to after a long day

and dump off their fresh hauls.

St.Augustine The beaches: Obviously, the beaches aren’t the main attraction in St. Augustine. But for the record, the city’s beaches are surprisingly nice for northeast Florida. It seems in the rush to Cocoa and Jacksonville, the beaches of St. Augustine have remained calm and quiet. The downtown scene:

History is the key word in downtown St. Augustine. St. George Street, marked by its trademark coquina stone pillars, is a gateway to ancient artifacts. The Colonial Spanish Quarter, Cordova Street and Castilla de San Marcos are a must-see for even the casual history buff. What makes it unique: Clearly, the history of St. Augustine is the city’s most well-known trait. St. Augustine is also home to one of Florida’s best upand-coming music festivals: Harvest of Hope. What began last year with appearances from Girl Talk, The National, Against Me! and Less Than Jake is continuing this year with The Mountain Goats, Broken Social Scene, Anti-Flag and Billy Bragg. The festival is a benefit for a unique cause, as well: migrant farm workers.

Sarasota The beaches: Once your feet touch the powdered sugar-white sand on Siesta Key Beach, you’ll know the trip was worth it. You can wade out into the water for a while before it gets deep, snorkel on the sandbars, walk along the shore at sunset, get some food at the snack bar or play some games of volleyball on the sand courts. The downtown scene: At the heart of Siesta Key Village, Gilligan’s Island Bar & Grill has loads of food and drink specials,

themed nights, live music and DJs. Nearby, the popular Daiquiri Deck Raw Bar has a large selection of seafood and, more obviously, a huge menu of affordable, frozen drinks. What makes it unique: Whether you’re into marine life, arts or soaking up the sun, Sarasota has something to check out. It has the bars and nightlife but for a more cultural experience, spend a day at the Ringling Museum of Art along Sarasota Bay. Or check out Mote Marine Lab and Aquarium’s sharks, manatees, sea turtles, dolphins and more than 100 other species, plus check out the work they do at the sea turtle, dolphin and whale hospitals.

Miami The beaches: There’s nothing like South Beach. Sure, it’s not the “True Miami” as CSI and Rick Ross portray it, but South Beach is the mecca for great food, beautiful people and a dash of culture not to be found anywhere else in the country. The downtown scene: Downtown Miami, specifically South Beach, is not as crazy as the stories may lead you to believe. It’s a bit worn down and it’s extremely expensive. Check out Dolphin Mall, a great outdoor shopping plaza that lines the beach. What makes it unique: What doesn’t make Miami unique? The week-

end of spring break, Miami is hosting the World Golf Championship at Doral. It’s home to Dwyane Wade and the Heat, it’s got great Cuban culture (and some classy cigar shops) and it’s where you’ll find some of the most obscure — and expensive — fashions in the country.

Daytona Beach The beaches: There really isn’t a more obvious choice than Daytona, for various well-known reasons. Sand and water quality are always great and the selection of hotels along the beachline stretches as far as the eye can see. The downtown scene: Realistically, downtown Daytona has slowly become the area around the beachline. Be sure to check out small restaurants along the water, as well as ones more inland. Check out Don Vito’s Italian Restaurant and The Cellar, both of which are highly esteemed Italian restaurants in the area. What makes it unique: Other than being close to UCF, Daytona’s ability to attract an incredible number of college students during spring break should be a huge added bonus, assuming that’s what you’re going for. It would be difficult to go wrong with Daytona Beach.

Pauley speaker focuses on Central Asia SARAH KEZER Contributing Writer

Sixty million people inhabit the five countries that make up a conservatively defined Central Asia. It is an area with precious oil and natural gas reserves, which all U.S. military troops pass through in transit to Afghanistan. And it’s an area that Eugene Huskey, a Stetson political science professor and head of the Russian Studies department, hoped to inform UCF students on during the Pauley Speaker Series on Jan. 24. Eugene Huskey spoke about the significance of these Central Asia countries, the conflict that bubbles within them and their diminishing ties with Russia, at the fifth annual Pauley Speaker Series on Global Affairs on Monday. Approximately 100 professors, students and members of the UCF community filled the Fairwinds Alumni Center ballroom to gain some understanding of this part of the world through Huskey’s lecture, “Russia in Central Asia: The waning of a special relationship.” “Central Asia is a relatively unknown part of the world. They kind of fall into the cracks of the larger countries around it,” Huskey said. “Russia has played a major role over the past few centuries, but that role is ending, and how it ends and how quickly, has implications for the region’s possible instability or conflict.” Huskey conducted doctoral research at Moscow State University in 1979-1980 and has written or edited four books and authored almost fourdozen academic articles.

“Central Asia is an important link in the supply chain that connects Afghanistan with the U.S. and our logistical supplies,” Huskey said. “It is important not just because of its significance to the U.S., but because there are 60 million people living there and their children, futures and prosperity all depend on the influence of powers around them.” The lecture was aimed to answer four questions: What is Central Asia? Why is it significant? What is the nature of Russia’s special relationship with the region? Why is this relationship waning? Huskey’s definition of the region included the countries Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Huskey pointed out the decline of Russian influence culturally and economically in these countries. In 1959, the capital of Kazakhstan’s population was 73 percent Russian, compared to today’s 33 percentage. After the fall of the

Soviet Union, the countries’ shifts toward indigenization has singled out non-natives and created discrimination and tension, according to Huskey. After the fall of their former empire, these countries now fell the need to create their own narratives and identity. Unfortunately, the “deRussification” process of these regions can lead to violence between ethnic groups, sometimes resulting in the killings of hundreds as in Kyrgyzstan in the summer of 2009 Husket explained. Bruce Pauley, UCF professor emeritus, has provided an endowment over the past five years for the speaker series, also sponsored by the history honor society Phi Alpha Theta and UCF History Department. Part of his contribution is also awarded to assist department members to travel overseas to complete research or present at conferences through the Pauley Endowment Travel Awards. “In this age that we live

in, Americans don’t have enough contact with the outside world,” Pauley said. “Two-thirds of the members of our House of Representatives don’t even own a passport.” Parameters for lectures in the series include the requirement that the topic must be about regions outside the Western Hemisphere. Pauley’s intention is

for these kinds of lectures to make use of the endowment in the most effective way and to impact the most people possible. Pauley said he also funds the series to maintain ties with the university that he taught at for 35 years. A brown bag lunch was also set up on Monday for students to ask Huskey questions one on one and have

open discussion. Kathleen MacDonald, co president of Phi Alpha Theta, attended the lunch with eight other undergraduate or graduate students. MacDonald said it was a great opportunity to talk with Huskey about history as a major, its application in the field and careers and research they were interested.

Republicans back at work cutting spending DAVID ESPO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Moving quickly, House Republicans are taking another whack at federal spending on the day after a State of the Union address in which President Barack Obama pronounced the country “poised for progress” and beckoned lawmakers of both parties to make job creation their common goal. “The challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics,” the president said in a nationally televised speech at the dawn of a new era of divided government. Republicans applauded the president politely and tempered their post-speech criticism on a night where civility reigned, more than two weeks after the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six, left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., wounded and stunned lawmakers. “I assure you, we want to work with the president to cut federal spending,” Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan said in the official Republican response moments after Obama spoke. But the chairman of the House Budget Committee pivoted quickly and said that in the past two years Obama had presided over a huge run-up in spending on domestic programs. Democrats then “made matters even worse” with a health care law stuffed with taxes, penalties, mandates and fees that are stifling job creation, he said. “We hold to a couple of simple convictions: Endless borrowing is not a strategy; spending cuts have to come first,” he said, the latest indication that conservatives in Congress intend to seek deeper cuts in spending and more far-reaching

changes in benefit programs than Obama or Democrats will accept. “We face a crushing burden of debt,” Ryan said in a speech from the committee room where Republicans will soon begin writing a plan to cut spending and reduce deficits. “The debt will soon eclipse our entire economy and grow to catastrophic levels in the years ahead.” While Republican leaders sought to put Ryan out front, their plan was complicated by the decision of Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota, a tea party favorite, to deliver a speech of her own. Newly in charge of the House, Republicans already have made an early down payment on their commitment to cut costs, voting to pare spending on their own office and committee accounts by 5 percent. On Tuesday, hours before Obama spoke, they went on record in favor of reducing most domestic programs to levels in place when Obama took office, and 17 Democrats joined them. Even larger cuts are expected as winter turns to spring, but another relatively small change was on the House agenda for the day after Obama’s speech. It would eliminate the program of federal matching funds that helps finance presidential campaigns, and supporters said savings would total $520 million over a decade. The White House opposes the bill, saying the system should be improved, not eliminated. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Wednesday that the GOP can work with Obama on programs to stimulate the economy and create jobs, but that significant spending cuts are

needed immediately. “We need to force the budget down,” he said on CBS’s “The Early Show.” For his part, Obama was following up his speech with a trip to Wisconsin to tout the economy’s recovery from the recession so far, and, as he turns to his re-election bid, campaign for the steps he outlined in the speech. Obama walked down the center aisle of a packed House chamber in far stronger political shape than could have been anticipated three months ago. Joblessness remains at 9.4 percent, but the economy is growing, and polls place his approval rating above 50 percent, higher than it has been in almost a year. One recent survey recorded a double-digit increase in recent months among independent voters, who deserted the Democrats and swung behind Republicans last fall. In a speech that ran more than an hour, the president coupled his call for a five-year freeze on domestic programs with a request to increase spending on selected areas such as high-speed rail and clean energy. He said he was open to changing the health care

law, but told Republican critics he wouldn’t agree to their demands to repeal it. He drew applause from GOP deficit hawks in his audience when he said he would veto legislation containing pet projects known as earmarks. But then he challenged lawmakers to make public any meetings they have with lobbyists, a step he said the White

House has already taken. He said Social Security’s finances must be strengthened “without slashing benefits for future generations, and without subjecting Americans’ guaranteed retirement income to the whims of the stock market.” That was a message to Ryan and other Republicans who want to let younger workers create private retirement accounts as an alternative to the current system of government benefits. Republicans were unanimous on one point — that Obama’s calls for spending cuts weren’t strong enough. The party’s leader in the Senate, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said overall the president had “changed the tone and the rhetoric” from his first two years in office. But, he said, “freezing government spending for five years at the increased levels of the last two years is really not

enough.” Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who backed numerous tea party-backed challengers in last fall’s elections, was dismissive. “When the President says ‘investment’ he means bigger federal government and higher taxes. Americans sent a clear message in the 2010 elections. They no longer wish to ‘invest’ in President Obama’s big-spending plans.” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement: “A partial freeze is inadequate at a time when we’re borrowing 41 cents of every dollar we spend, and the administration is begging for another increase in the debt limit. Rather than lock in the jobcrushing spending binge of the last two years, we are working to carry out our pledge to cut spending to pre-’stimulus,’ pre-bailout levels and impose real spending caps.”

More funding on the way FROM A1 and water in space, have all received positive recognition. The high research classification means more funding for research at UCF. In 2009-2010 the university received $75.8 million in federal funding. Additionally, researchers were awarded $133.3 million in external research funding with 41 UCF researchers earning a million dollars or more in grants. That amount represents an increase of over 9 percent in research funding and a 27 percent increase in federal funding from the year before. Increased funding has also led to increased research opportunities in community, undergraduate, and graduate research. One of the more unique programs under the UCF research umbrella is the Business Incubation Program. According to the UCFBIP application, their mission is “to nurture companies with the potential to create high wage jobs to help diversify the Central Florida economy.” Applicants must qualify for the program in several different areas, including strong market potential, viability, first stage development, and a relatively permanent

Central Florida location. Once accepted, these fledgling businesses receive a variety of benefits within the incubator, such as strategic planning, seminars, accounting assistance, legal guidance, and intern recruitment through the Experiential Learning office. The program currently assists 100 companies, and 48 companies have graduated from the incubator since its inception. UCFBIP clients as a whole currently hold more than 286 patents. UCF also offers significant research opportunities for undergraduates. The Office of Undergraduate Research offers many yearlong opportunities for students to participate in undergraduate research in the way of providing mentors, student research positions, workshops, travel grants and presentation opportunities. One highlight is the Summer Research Academy, or SRA, a two and a half-day program designed to introduce UCF students and incoming transfer students to the concept of undergraduate research. Kimberly Schneider, the director of OUR, believes that undergraduate research is an important figure in the develop-

ment of research at UCF and in the consideration of analysis done by groups such as the Carnegie Foundation. “In a lot of the research fields, research is done by a team, so faculty are working with post-doctorate, graduate, and undergraduate students who do contribute a lot to the research that’s done,” Schneider said. “On many levels, undergraduate research supports the research focus of the university, and we always have more and more students involved in research on campus.” Many of these students go on to appear in publications and presentations along with their faculty mentors and teams. They expand their resume through research and have the opportunity to be featured in the electronically published UCF Undergraduate Research Journal. Most importantly, says Schnieder, the students gain invaluable experience. “Students involved in research really expand their academic experience at UCF,” she said. “They get the opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor on an independent project and it’s an opportunity to work that does not often occur in a classroom setting.”

Police hope KnightLYNX decreases DUIs FROM A1 Boulevard. The Blue Line will stop at apartment complexes and shopping centers off Alafaya Trail, Colonial Drive and Waterford Lakes Parkway. “We come from a community where our primary source of transportation is taking your own car,” said Brock, who thinks the service will help teach students about public transportation. “[Students] might have to go to a city where they rely on public transportation and they do have the experience with KnightLYNX to know exactly what a transfer point is, how to get from one route to another and how to stop at a stop that’s not part of the same route.” SGA President Michael Kilbride said the service will especially benefit students who don’t have cars. “We have a lot of students who live in local apartment complexes who rely on the shuttle system during the day to get to class because they don’t have a car,” Kilbride said. “This is really a connection to the community for the UCF students as well as a safe ride alternative late at night.” Leading up to the launch, Brock and other members of SGA have been tabling in front of the Student Union handing out promotional T-shirts, magnets and key chains. Brock said the best part about tabling for the pro-

gram is that students are sticking around to ask questions about the program and not just running off to class after snagging a free Tshirt. At the most recent Transit Advisory Committee meeting, John Lewis, the CEO of LYNX, said he understands the need for the service and is excited to be a part of it. “One issue that is a very high priority for UCF students and faculty is enabling the students to make safe transportation from campus to entertainment,” Lewis said. “[Another] of the issues they are very much aware of is the prevalence of students who have been driving under the influence and some of the issues associated with that.” Community relations supervisor Sgt. Troy Williamson is also hoping it will reduce the number of driving under the influence incidents. “I want to see it work,” Williamson said. “If it stops at every apartment complex and people don’t drive off, that would be an ideal solution.” Williamson said if everything works out, it will allow the police department to devote more of their concentration to other areas. For the next couple of weekends, Brock will be concentrating on getting feedback from students who use the service. “I’m prepared to do

Tuition still cheaper in Fla. FROM A1 lion was dispersed. “It’s fantastic recognition and it’s further recognition of UCF’s growing national reputation,” Heston said. “It’s a credit to the hard work and dedication of staff the staff and faculty members who support an outstanding student experience.” Other Florida schools that made the list were University of Florida which ranked second, New College of Florida was 20th, the University of South Florida was 55th and Florida International University was 97th. This shows that despite tuition hikes last year, Florida is still one of the cheaper states to go to school.

Florida universities are among the most economical in the country. The average tuition cost for public four-year universities is $7,605 per year. Florida’s average is $4,825, $2,780 lower than the national average according to College Board. UCF’s status among the nation’s universities that offer the best value is welcome news for students and parents, particularly at a time when the economy is struggling. “It feels good to be attending a school with great academics at an affordable price” said sophomore engineering major Taylor Meche. “This can do nothing but help our status nationwide.”

whatever it takes to get this program to work,” said Brock. “Once this semester ends, we’re going to evaluate the program, see if there are any problems with those days, see if we can maybe expand to another day or create a different route.” Monitoring the program

for the next month or so will help determine whether or not the $105,000 requested Activity and Service Fee budget for the next fiscal year is approved. “Student government has been working for the past several years to work on a program to provide safe transportation for stu-

dents in the local area at night,” said Kilbride. “Hopefully the next administration will be able to continue this and make it a successful program year round.” Lewis, who worked for the GRTC Transit System in Virginia before coming to Orlando about eight weeks ago, said Virginia’s system

had a partnership with the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University. “I expect nothing less with our service with UCF,” said Lewis. “We’re really looking forward to introducing the next generation of public transit riders to our service.”

CHAD NO-CHOCINCO CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is putting his unusual name back in the news. Ochocinco suggested at the end of an interview with ESPN on Tuesday that he’s planning to change his name back to Johnson. He didn’t give a specific reason, other than saying he’s “done enough with the Ocho thing.” He has talked about changing his name several times. Leading up to a game against the Jets during the 2009 season, he insisted that he would change his name back to Johnson if cornerback Darrelle Revis shut him down. Ochocinco failed to catch a pass, but kept his name. He later said his comments were made in fun and he was never serious about a name change.

GOODELL WILLING TO TAKE A $9,999,999 PAY CUT NEW YORK — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March. Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year including bonuses, said in a memo to his staff Wednesday that chief negotiator Jeff Pash will do the same. Pash makes nearly $5 million a year. Goodell also has asked the league’s compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until after a deal is reached with the NFL Players Association. “Let me emphasize that we are fully committed to doing everything possible to reach a new collective bargaining agreement without any disruption to our business,” Goodell said. “The entire senior leadership team stands with me in its commitment to resolving the CBA issues with the player’s union. “While several other executives have also volunteered to make additional reductions to their compensation, I have asked them not to take that step at this time as we continue our negotiating efforts.” NFL owners opted out of the agreement in 2008. Union chief DeMaurice Smith has predicted the owners will lock out the players after the March 4 expiration of the contract with the league. NFLPA communications director Carl Francis was not impressed by Goodell’s memo. “I have been around long enough to know that this decision is irrelevant to the process,” Francis said. “He should also guarantee there won’t be a lockout.”

Replacing Chris Duffy and Shane Brown will be no easy task. The former Knights and current MLB players hit over .400 last season, and the Knights baseball team has a tough road ahead in making up for their production. After a strong end to the 2010 campaign, the Knights finished 33-22 overall and had the most wins in Conference USA play (10) since joining the conference in 2006. While the Knights tied for last in C-USA standings, they had the second-best overall record of the nine C-USA teams. The team welcomed in their second consecutive top-20 nationally ranked recruiting class. The Knights welcome back the majority of their young lineup. Last year, UCF was the only school in the nation to have five freshman start 35 games. Ronnie Richardson, a member of 2009’s top-4 ranked recruiting class, made 45 starts at center field as a freshman and is the only player with a lot of fielding experience returning to the outfield. Sophomore shortstop Darnell Sweeney was the only Knight to start all 55 games last season and batted .358. He was voted on C-USA’s All-Freshman Team. Chris Taladay won CUSA Baseball Freshman of the Year for his performance at the plate as well as his defensive efforts at third base and

Griffin was second on the team in homeruns with 13. Taylor currently owns UCF’s third-longest hitting streak at 21 games. The streak will carry into this season. On the mound, the Knights get back lefthanded pitcher Joe Rogers, who went 4-2 with eight saves on the season last year. The team has depth at pitching with their top six pitchers in ERA return-

Red-hot Cougars coming into town AARON CROUCH Women’s basketball beat writer

As the men’s basketball team searches to find answers for their last few games, the women’s team has quietly remained among the leaders in Conference USA. Thursday’s game against Houston will be a huge opportunity to remain in those ranks. “In the past, versus [Memphis], we’ve played well,” said coach Joi Williams. “But we need to play good defense and that has been the key to our success.” UCF (11-8, 4-2 C-USA) comes into Thursday’s matchup with the Cougars (15-4, 6-0 C-USA) fresh off a 28-point victory at home versus Marshall, in which the Knights used big scoring runs to demolish the Herd.

In Todd Buchanan’s first season as head coach, the Cougars are receiving votes in the AP top 25 poll and during the six-game conference winning streak, the Cougars have averaged 76.3 points per game.

Back in Ga., Miller preps for NFL ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor

Bruce Miller, who was the NCAA’s active sacks leader while at UCF, had no problem standing out on the field in his playing days with the Knights. Now that he’s moved back to his homestate of Georgia, Miller has plenty of time to train for his next adventure— the NFL Draft. The Central Florida Future caught up with Miller on his move back home and his journey to the pros. Central Florida Future: What have you been up to lately? Bruce Miller: Well, I actually just moved in to my new apartment today. Where I’m training at was like, about an hour and half away from my parents’ house [in Canton, Ga.]. My new apartment is right next to the training facility so I don’t have to leave two hours early for training any more. It’s pretty cool because I can literally run over there. CFF: Where are you training at? Miller: Competitive Edge Sports in Duluth, Ga. CFF: Last Saturday you were at the East-West Shrine Game improving your draft stock. What’s next on your road to the NFL Draft? Miller: I got a Combine invite, so I’m training really hard for that. That’s at the end of February stretching into the beginning of March. Then I have our Pro Day, which is two or three weeks after the Combine so I have a little bit of time after the Combine to get ready for that. CFF: When did you start training? Miller: I started train-

ing here two weeks before the Shrine game. I weigh 258 pounds now. I want to play linebacker at the next level. I feel faster and more explosive. CFF: You looked a little slimmed down at the Shrine game. Miller: Haha, I actually gained some weight — about eight pounds — but I look slimmer because I cut a lot of body fat. I’m leaning up and I’m trying to run as fast as possible at the heaviest I can be. Right now, I can run faster and I’m lighter on my feet. CFF: It seems like the biggest knock on you playing on the defensive line is your size. Is that why you want to make the switch to linebacker? Miller: The positive thing for me is, I’m so confident in my play at defensive end. I do think with my body type most teams are going to bring me in as an outside linebacker, stand-up type of guy. In fact, instead of focusing on Combine training, for the first couple of weeks I was focusing on position drills— just practicing standing up and getting into coverage. Linebacker stuff. I’m working on my techniques. CFF: Why were you lined up at defensive end

during the Shrine game? Miller: You know, I was planning on playing my snaps at linebacker at the Shrine game but they were short on D-linemen so I was at defensive end the whole game. I don’t mind playing either position. CFF: You seem to have a natural ability to just get to the quarterback. Miller: First of all, I’ve worked with some amazing people. I’ve been coached so much to help me polish my game. There’s a lot of effort and hard work that goes into getting to the QB. I’m excited about moving to outside linebacker. Guys my size use that extra space between the offensive line to their advantage [to get to the QB]. CFF: Have you given any thought about playing middle linebacker? Miller: Most of the teams that I spoke with want me to play linebacker. They feel like I can play in the middle or on the outside. It’s a compliment to play on the inside and direct traffic at linebacker, to be the quarterback of the defense. I’d love to play any of those positions. I just feel like I have a better shot as lining up as an outside linebacker.

CFF: Do you see yourself fitting into a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense better? Miller: The game is changing, offenses are throwing the ball more. That’s why 3-4 defense is more popular. I see myself as more of a 3-4 guy, but I believe I can fit into either defense. CFF: You said that you’re trying to get faster. What’s your 40? Miller: Haha. I actually haven’t timed it yet. I feel a lot faster and lighter on my feet though. Last time it was timed, I ran a 4.69 in spring practices. I can’t remember the last time I’ve ran 40 yards on the field, though. To me, it’s all about getting to the QB and that’s what I can do best. CFF: What’s your diet like now? Miller: I’m taking in about 300 grams of protein a day in shakes alone, and that’s not including food that I’m eating. And I’m eating a lot of chicken and fish and steak. My trainers said that I need to eat a lot because of all the training I’m doing. My body is definitely changing, it’s in shock. My goal weight is to play at around 245-250. I feel comfortable with that size with my body type. CFF: How many days a week are you training? Miller: Six days a week. Just a lot of running, lifting weights, and position drills. And eating. CFF: Where do you think you will go in the draft? Miller: You know, I’ve heard everything from being a second-round pick to going undrafted, but my goal is to make a roster. I just want to be on the team, and make a roster and contribute. Even if I’m just playing special teams, I just want to play.

Recruiting

Knights land six recruits ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor

The Knights bolstered this year’s football recruiting class by adding five recruits this week. — Cornerback Bruce Dukes (Tyrone, Ga.) committed to the Knights on Monday, turning down offers from Auburn, Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky and Mississippi State. Dukes is rated a three-star prospect by Rivals and could be an asset on defense and special teams for UCF. — Linebacker Troy Gray (Kennesaw, Ga.) took an official visit to UCF over the weekend and committed after he saw what the Knights had to offer. Gray is a Rivals three-star prospect who had offers from Arkansas, Mississippi State, Kentucky and Virginia. — Safety Jared Henry (Jacksonville) decommitted from South Carolina and made a commitment to UCF on Monday after taking a visit to Orlando over

the weekend. Henry is a three-star prospect on Rivals. — Kicker Shawn Moffitt (Orlando) decided to stay close to Dr. Phillips High and committed to the Knights this week. Moffitt can compete for immediate playing time next season, as kicker Nick Cattoi connected on only 57.9 percent of his field goal attempts last season. — Linebacker Terrance Plummer (Orange Park) chose UCF after taking a visit to campus this weekend. Plummer, who picked the Knights over Big East schools USF and Connecticut, is rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals. In basketball, the Knights landed a big-name recruit on Monday. — Shooting guard Shawn Smith, ranked as a four-star prospect by ESPN, chose UCF over Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Kansas State, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and West Virginia.

Daniels, Wiley lead UCF FROM A8 we wait for,” Patrick said. “You always like to play the toughest competition, so we are going to go out and do what we always do. Push the ball, play good D and get the win.” UCF currently sits at third place in the conference standings and giving Houston their first C-USA loss would be a big step in

getting UCF hoops back in the right direction. “It’s just another opportunity to show the league what we’re about, and let everyone know UCF is back, and this will be a really good game,” Daniels said. The battle tips off at 7 p.m. at the UCF Arena. The game can be heard on either WAMT 1190 AM or WHOO ESPN 1080 AM.

UCF student races professionally for muscular dystrophy cure funds UCF student Shea Holbrook made her professional racing debut in 2010.She races to raise money to help cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy. ADOLFO CEBALLOS / CENTRAL FLORIDA FUTURE

CAMILLE THOMAS Staff Writer

A win on the track for one UCF student could help gain in the search for a muscular dystrophy cure. Shea Holbrook, a junior communications major, combines her professional racing career with fundraising for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the only fatal form of muscular dystrophy. “My goal is to be like Danica Patrick,” Holbrook said. “If I could ever get to some type of celebrity status in my racing career, I could help raise money for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.” Holbrook and her sponsors — K&N Filters, Lucas Oil and Wine Country Motorsports — never have a goal amount when fundraising, she said. However, Pro Racing World Challenge Series for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg held by the Sports Car Club of America, will be her first opportunity to raise $10,000. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy is the only nonprofit organization that directly benefits finding a cure, she said. She also said she chose the organization because they understood her vision for combining racing with fundraising and awareness. “Shea is amazing and I think every boy in the world loves cars and racing. When she approached me, I was thrilled,” said Pat Furlong, CEO and president of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. “Racing and fundraising seemed a perfect match.” Holbrook said she has a deeper connection with the disease because of her cousins, Jordan and Matthew, who have been affected by the disease. Matthew was the same age as Holbrook when he succumbed to the disease in 2008. “Matthew’s death made me realize I wanted to do something about it. I knew if I could do something for Jordan my family would be really proud,” she said. “When your son is catastrophically ill, it is easy to feel isolated and alone, that very few people in the world understand. Shea’s interest changes everything for her family and for all of us. She is a bright light,” Furlong said. Duchenne is the predominant and most common type of muscular dystrophy and the most common lethal diagnosis of childhood, Furlong said. “Until there is a treatment/cure for this disease I will never see Duchenne any differently. The organizations that are raising money to support research are what gives those families affected by Duchenne hope,” Gwen Klapp, Holbrook’s aunt, said. “Shea wanting to raise awareness through her racing gives us hope. I know that her cousin [Klapp’s son] Matthew would be very proud of her. Matt’s brothers sure are.” Duchenne is a disease few people know about but is rapidly growing in the United States, Holbrook said. Eventually, young boys, the only ones affected, will lose strength in their legs. Then one day they won’t be able to move and the disease will start to take their life, she said. “It’s a humbling disease because I don’t think twice about getting out of bed but they have to,” Holbrook said. “PPMD’s approach is based on the word RACE (research, advocacy, care, education). Shea’s RACE is our RACE,” Furlong said. “Her enthu-

SEX & THE CAMPUS

Don’t let ‘the one’ dictate how you like your eggs I always remember the scene from Runaway Bride (not a classic, but good enough) where Julia Roberts tells Richard Gere that the way she prefers her eggs cooked has always depended on who she is in a relationship with at the time. She was still not sure how she truly liked them cooked. Last week, I changed the oil and air filter in my car, added coolant and made sure my tire pressure was just right. I did this all by myself. It is something I have known how to do for years,

but recently stopped practicing. It was not out of laziness or forgetfulness. Simply put, I expected my boyfriend to do it. He is the man, right? In today’s world, women say they want to be treated as equals. The truth is, we want to be treated better

than that. We want our happiness to be our knights’ sole purpose. In the process, however, the need for chivalry seems to allow over-dependency to settle in. Think about it. How many times have you nagged your boyfriend for not doing something that you are perfectly capable of doing? Eventually, the task never gets done or is done after excessive bickering. I still consider myself to be quite an independent woman, but much of my lifestyle — my love for dancing, my schedule, my

friendships with the opposite sex — has been altered. He did not thread the needle on this one, however. The alteration was started and completed by me. Only me. If I did it subconsciously, unconsciously, willingly or whatever other “-ly” word I can think of, it still does not change the fact that it was done independent-ly. In many of the modern romantic comedies, like the movie He’s Just Not That Into You, the female characters realize that they are unlucky in love because they chose not to value

themselves the way they should. Putting your best foot forward in the beginning of a relationship is normal. However, allowing your imperfections and differences with your mate to still be a part of that “honeymoon” phase should be your objective. Should they disagree that these characteristics are acceptable, believe that they will eventually accept them or at least provide a healthy compromise. Should they chose not

FRESHMAN LIFE

Kermit must not have gone to college: It is easy being green As college freshmen, we’ve made a transition (hopefully) from careless high school kids to wellrounded individuals who are globally aware and have the knowledge to touch on topics of religion, politics and the environment. I like to think I’ve become globally aware. Yes, I care about the planet now. I unplug my phone charger when I’m not using it, turn off lights that aren’t in use, and best of all, I ride my bike to and from campus four miles every day — except when it rains.

CYNTHIA FLORENTINO Guest Columnist

My bike has become a hot topic, and it’s no secret I have a newfound appreciation for bikes. Maybe it’s the child inside me, maybe the frugal college girl who wants to save money at all costs. Whatever the reason, there are many pros and so little cons to going green.

I must admit, riding my bike from home to campus each day didn’t exactly begin as me trying to make a green revolution, it was a move for convenience and economy. The sneaky workout and the saving of the planet are just an added bonus. I know as college students, convenience is something we swear by, and like the great philosopher Kermit, the Frog once said, “It’s not easy being green.” In that spirit, I’ve decide to compile a list of things to make the green process for us much easier.

Spend time with Holbrook races for the MD friends, family FROM A10

FROM A10 to and you continue to mask your natural characteristics and tastes, you may eventually come to find out you no longer have your own favorite way to eat eggs. In the end, all you will be left with is a shell of who you could have become. For men, following the footsteps of your first really hot girlfriend may lead to the desertion of your friends, family and self-control. Make sure that really hot girlfriend is willing to spend

time with your family and friends in between the flatironing sessions. For women, supporting the first boyfriend you consider to be “the one” may lead to the desertion of your friends, family and self-regard. Make sure the boyfriend you consider to be “the one” is willing to support you just as hard and just as intensely as you have for him.

Shea and PPMD are racing together toward the finish line.” Her interest in racing began when she went on the drive-along at the Richard Petty Experience in Daytona. Though she started her professional racing career from the bottom up, only having funding from friends and family, Holbrook gained sponsors in 2010 who will continue to fund her, she said. “I started to excel at a rate nobody saw coming, not even me. I had that natural feel. I never felt afraid or scared; it was just in my blood,” Holbrook said. “After two years of racing, people would come up to me and tell me I should go pro. I thought, ‘No way!’, but once I realized I had enough talent, I thought, ‘I can do this’ and 2010 was my debut for professional racing.” She said she has always been competitive and was a nationally ranked water skier before she began racing as a hobby with her father.

adrenaline junkie to love racing and that once a person starts racing they begin to crave the need for speed. “I was impressed immediately by how she handled herself at the track. It was not only about the racing, but that most of her extended family was there watching her race, many of us for the first time,” Klapp said. “There were also several other fam-

ilies there with boys who have Duchenne. I immediately noticed her grace and poise. I was very proud of her.” Holbrook says it is hard to balance racing and being a student, but that like raising money for Duchenne and racing professionally, graduating with a degree is a goal she intends to accomplish.

State of the Union looks at jobs, deficit

NATE BEELER / THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

OUR STANCE

Police refuse to be recorded E

avesdropping seems like a silly thing to be sent to jail for, but apparently it becomes a lot more serious when it involves a police officer. A man and woman in Illinois will soon be sent to trial after both used recording devices to tape their separate non-violent encounters with the police. The two face 15 years in jail if convicted. Just like in Florida, Illinois’ law makes it illegal to record a public or private conversation without the consent of all parties involved. If convicted of recording a civilian conversation or encounter without the other party’s approval the accused can face up to three years in jail, but that’s still five times less than the jail time for recording a cop. Tiawanda Moore — one of the two accused of recording an Illinios police officer — had legitimate and justifiable reasons for audio recording her encounter. Last August, Moore had an exchange with a police officer where she claims he was sexually harassing her by fondling her and leaving his personal number. When she went to Internal Affairs to speak to two officers, she

says they were extremely uncooperative. The two IA officers tried to discourage her from filing the complaint, saying that the accused officer would never harass her again. Realizing the IA investigators were not behaving ethically or professionally, Moore started to record the conversation on her BlackBerry, but when the two investigators noticed they arrested her on an eavesdropping charge. As admirable it is to serve as a police officer, it’s also very easy for an officer to abuse their position of power. This goes for a lot of positions in the work force. Incident’s like Moore’s are exactly the kind of occurrences that could be prevented if this law were repealed. Although there is one major stipulation: citizens may record an encounter if they have “reasonable suspicion” that a crime is about to be committed against them, and in Moore’s case this defense may fly. However, there are instances where an officer can abuse their power without necessarily breaking a law or violating any kind of rules placed upon them by the police department. Our government cannot

go unchecked. Officers of the law need to be monitored just like any other politician or public official. Officers participating in unsavory behavior while in uniform need to face consequences if they violate a citizen’s civil rights. Many police cruisers have cameras mounted in the dashboard, but if an officer knows the placement of the camera he or she can easily step out of its view, leaving the violated citizen with no evidence. Cameras and audio recording equipment don’t lie, unless of course they’re tampered with. Recording interactions between citizens and the police should be standard procedure, not punishable by 15 years in jail. When in public, individuals can take photos or video of anything they want; it could be for art work or just as a hobby. Why is it, then, that recording someone who serves in a sensitive position is illegal? National security is not at risk because of a recording involving harassment. If the public can be monitored 24/7 in airports, malls and even in schools, why can’t public officials that don’t work with sensitive information?

MAN ON THE STREET

LETTER FROM AN EDITOR

Things I’ve learned from going to the new gym Hi, you might recognize me. I’m that kid whose New Year’s resolution was to start going to the gym. There were a few thousand of us three weeks ago. Now, I’m one of the few dozen remaining. During my short time at the newly revamped UCF Rec and Wellness Center, I’ve learned a lot. For instance, gym fashion. When I first started going to the gym, I wore an old UCF giveaway T-shirt and a ball cap. Boy, was I out of place. I quickly learned that it’s all about the sleeveless look. There’s an art to cutting the sleeves off your T-shirt. I’m not a master yet, but it involves just enough from the sides to show your lower ribcage, and just enough from the front to show a little bit of nipple. Greek letters on the front of your shirt are a must. It’s important to establish your fraternity’s presence in gym, just in case some other fraternity thinks yours is soft. For girls, don’t even bother using the upstairs treadmills unless you’ve got enough makeup on to double as an aXis Magazine model. Remember, the gym is more than just a place to work out; it’s a place to look hot. I’ve also learned how important it is to stare at yourself in the mirror when curling. Pull the bench as close to the mirror as possible, grunt loudly so everyone can see how much weight you’re lifting, and practice your curl poses as often as possible. As for curling, it’s by far the most important exercise at the gym. Some people use the squat rack to squat. Those people are wrong. The squat rack is for curls.

Curls get girls. I learned that the gym, despite blaring Top 40 radio all day, respects quiet time. One day while deadlifting, a helpful gym attendant informed me I was making too much noise. I respect all my fellow gymgoers who were reading books or studying calculus while weightlifting, so I stopped my exercise. Gym attendants are always there to help. When a machine breaks, they make it their first priority to fix the problem. One of the assisted chin-up machines broke last week and it only took the staff eight days to get it back in working order. Talk about efficiency! The employees also warned me of the dangers of overhead pressing. Forget benching with a thumbless grip, or dumbbell Olympic lifts in the middle of a crowd, or leg presses in the Smith machine. The overhead press is clearly the most dangerous weight lift around, and we’re fortunate that the gym has outlawed the exercise altogether. Just another instance of UCF looking out for our safety. Speaking of safety, proper weight-lifting form is mostly unnecessary. Angrily jerk your back on most lifts, and make sure your buddy spots you more than 50 percent of the weight. A key tenant of weightlifting is not to settle for what you’re actually strong enough to lift, but to cheat in order to lift a weight clearly outside your ability. With all the wisdom I’ve gained in less than a month at the gym, I leave you with some parting tips: Use machines as often as possible. Carry your protein powder everywhere. Never wipe down your weights when finished. And most importantly, call everyone “bro.” MIKE BALDUCCI

“Face-to-face instruction helps to motivate the student by feeling the pressure of the other students.”

“There is a lack of needed interaction.You can’t ask any questions and get the full response.”

“I would say online classes. Students can go at their own pace and it forces students to really teach themselves.”

“You don’t get to meet people, who wants to be stuck in a room all day? Having a face-to-face class adds to your social life.”

“Face-to-face is better because it can be tailored more to the students.It is easier to keep track of students.”

“For most students I believe it is easier to learn via interaction.To be able to listen and immediately ask a question.”

Job fairs are exciting and can be fun. The open air market atmosphere produces a relaxed environment where you can interact with employers and sharpen your interviewing skills without the anxiety associated with the closed door, one-on-one formal interview. Job fairs can be extremely beneficial for candidates who know how to “work” them. In today’s super-competitive job-market, there is no more efficient way to promote your availability to employers. Where else can you find such a concentration of potential employers in one place? Where else can you interact with hiring officials and company executives, identify available opportunities, collect company literature and business cards for future networking and possibly get a lead, application or an invitation for an interview? These events are good not only for the job seeker, but also for the employer. Where else can they see such a concentration of potential candidates in one place? It is essential that you study the job market. Having an understanding of your field of interest can help you in approaching a job fair table even if you know nothing about that employer except that they have a function you are qualified for. As an example, if you are pursuing a career in retail management you should approach all employers at the fair that are in that field. In the 30 or so seconds that you have to make a positive and lasting first impression, approach with a firm handshake and introduce yourself. Demonstrate your enthusiasm through a quick, convincing, one-sentence statement about your intent to pursue a career in retail management and your desire to learn more about company X’s management training program. You have to be able to hit the right button with that representative very quickly, convincing them that you can be useful to the company. Now is when you present your resumé with a smooth, confident motion. Compare this approach to “What do you have to offer me?” which is what most job fair attendees say. Imagine for a moment that you are an employer at a job fair lasting about six hours. Anywhere from 300 to 1,000 job candidates could stop at your display. That’s about 50 to 150 per hour! Some candidates will demonstrate their initiative, job experience, training, enthusiasm, confidence and job search preparedness; however, others will present themselves passively and be guaranteed instant failure. Listen very carefully to what the recruiter says, whether there is hope for further discussion and how you can follow-up. Now is the time to pick up their literature — annual reports, brochures, etc. Being prepared is the key to getting the most out of a job fair. Let’s assume that you know all about dressing for success. Remember you may have only 30 seconds to make your case. Imagine how important that first impression must be to the employer. If we are talking non-technical fields here, the employer has to assess the personalities and obvious strengths of potential candidates. Your resumé will be your strongest and most useful tool at the job fair. Prepare a crisp and eye catching, one-page resumé that starts with a well defined career objective. Make sure that you establish a firm linkage between your goals and your experiences. Your resumé must reflect your excellent communication skills as well as your attention to details — no typos, misspellings or bad grammar. It is up to you to get what you want out of a job fair. If you want it to be more than just wandering from table to table with empty handshakes, you should plan a strategy and be prepared.
