Mumblecore speaks volumes Short film addresses fascination with fame AUSTIN CASTLE Contributing Writer
A team of UCF film school students and graduates began shooting a feature-length film titled 15 Minutes of Faye in Bradenton, Fla. this week. Once completed, the low-budget production, which is part of writer and director Joshua Ingle’s master’s thesis, is to be submitted
to film festivals worldwide with hopes of gaining recognition from a film distribution company. 15 Minutes of Faye is strongly influenced by a specific genre of film dubbed “mumblecore,” defined by its use of digital cameras, low production costs and character-driven storytelling. The dark romantic comedy thematically revolves around

The animal division of Volunteer UCF took their first trip to the zoo and became botanists for the day to help maintain the environment for the zoo’s wildlife. “We have a very diverse group of people,” Chelsea Balkam, director of the animal unit of VUCF, said. “Everyone is doing different majors, studying different things, but just love animals.” The 10 young men and women arrived at the Central Florida Zoo on Saturday morning ready to pick plants, equipped with gloves, water bottles, bug spray and activewear perfect for the summer weather. Steve DeCresie, the park’s senior horticulturist of
seven years, led the way, giving a tour of the zoo and what he called a “crash course” in botany. “This will take a lot of man and woman power,” DeCresie said. “By the [end], you’ll be wet, gross and somewhat muddy.”

A UCF professor is in the midst of helping to develop a national database of self-learning modules to teach medical students how to treat patients with mental illnesses. “Let’s say a student gets through a psychiatry clerkship and never sees a case of dementia,” said Dr. Martin Klapheke, professor of psychiatry and co-chair of the Clinical Simulation Initiative Task Force for the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry. “The module that I have just completed will take them 45 minutes to complete, and it takes them through a case of dementia stepby-step.” Klapheke first came up with the idea to create these modules more than a year ago with his colleague, Dr. Howard Liu of the University of Nebraska. Since then, five of the 14 major psychiatric conditions have been made into self-learning modules and the ADMSEP awarded

CONGRESSIONAL INTERN
The future of Amirica UCF junior works in D.C. as congressional intern BRANDI BROXSON
July 25, 2011 Vol 43, Issue 50 • 12 Pages
News Editor
Junior psychology major Amirica Nicholson spent the last two months in Washington, D.C., as a congressional intern for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. As an intern, Nicholson listens to hearings on government topics, responds to calls from constituents and keeps up with current political events. The Central Florida Future had the opportunity to speak to Nicholson about her summer on Capitol Hill. Central Florida Future: Tell me a bit about yourself. Amirica Nicholson: I am a very ambitious, determined and positive individual, and I always strive to reach the goals of my heart. My life philosophy is that prayer, hard work, confidence can accomplish anything, even the seemingly unattainable. In the University of Central Florida community, I am a LEAD Scholar Graduate and past mentor (2010), the Student Leadership Council Director of the Multicultural Student Center and a member of Delta Epsilon Iota academic honor society. CFF: Where do you work? Nicholson: Congressional Black Caucus Foundation under the United States Congress, for the House of Representatives Congressman Alcee L. Hastings. CFF: How did you get the job? Nicholson: I was selected for this position through the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation after an online application process, as well as an in-depth interview, which covered topics pertaining to the American governmental system and the respective figures involved in it. CFF: What has it been like to live in Washington, D.C.? Nicholson: Living in Washington, D.C. has been a tremendously eye-opening experience. Every day yields another opportunity to meet new people and learn from their personal insight. I had the opportunity to live here for two months, and throughout that process, I have been culturally stimulated and intellectually driven. The city offered a wide spectrum of pastimes, ranging from folk festivals, the worldrenowned Smithsonian museums, delectable restaurants and the historic sites that only D.C. can offer. CFF: Describe a day in the life of a congressional intern. Nicholson: Each day as a congressional intern has the potential to become a life-changing experience. A typical day in the life of a congressional intern includes attending hearings on upcoming topics in the government, news and media, such as the potential AT&T/T-Mobile merger. Furthermore, my job consists of organizing and assigning constituent letters in the system, Cap Cor, and responding to the concerned calls of con-

Moreover, I have learned a great deal about myself working on Capitol Hill and I have enjoyed every second of it. Furthermore, I am exploring this particular path. However, as of now, my plans are to further investigate the course of psychology. After graduating from UCF, I will continue my education at the graduate level pursing a doctorate in clinical psychology. Eventually, I hope to facilitate a rehabilitation clinic assisting those suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder.

Organizers pleased with volunteer turnout FROM A1 The VUCF group’s first task: to weed and spread pine straw in a dragonfly garden. “Your mission, should you decide to accept it. Just make dragonfly pond look beautiful,” DeCresie said. The group followed DeCresie to the pond, who explained the process that focused primarily on ecology, but also hydrology, land use, some biology and zoology aspects. The pond system has been there since 2005 and is part of a
farm-water filtration system, which includes a pipe that connects to the St. John’s River. DeCresie takes care of the 117 acres of swampland in the zoo. DeCresie gave the students a lesson on how to identify the wide variety of vegetation they would be picking, such as phasey bean, dog fennel and bidens alba. Balkam was up to the task, described by DeCresie as a “scavenger hunt.” “I just love being outside,” she said. Balkam said that she was satisfied with the number of people
who participated. “I’m like bubbling over with happiness,” she said. “I only thought three people were going to come, so I’m really happy ... It’s more than I expected, because it’s a Saturday morning and it’s the summer, so I didn’t expect a lot of people.” Max Lang, a senior pre-med major, volunteered for the first time, seeking out a Saturday morning activity. “It just seems kind of interesting to do,” Lang said. “Something different than my ordinary Saturday. Get to help out the zoo, so
that always helps. And I like the bio aspects, it goes into my niche of things that seem interesting.” DeCresie said that he enjoyed getting people in the mud and was pleased with that the amount of students who attended. “This group is perfect for dragonfly pond,” DeCresie said. “I can’t train really small kids, who sometimes just start pulling anything, so it’s nice when I get older teenagers, college students and adults, that’s when we usually do more difficult scavenger hunts.” They reached their goal two

hours after they started. Students filled four bags of food while the staff took them to animals such as camels, kangaroos and tortoises, all of which, DeCresie said, love the bidens and grasses. He said it’s a special treat for them because the plants surrounding the pond usually only get picked at the end of summer because that is when the plants grow most and need to be pampered for the fall. After a lunch break, the group laid the pine grass at the dragonfly pond, following which Decresie declared the group’s task as “mission accomplished.” Terri Clark, the zoo’s community resource manager, expressed the staff’s gratitude for the large number of volunteers. “We can’t do it without you guys,” Clark said. “We are just a small staff, a small nonprofit, so we have limited staff. So for us to do everything that needs to get done, we cannot do it without volunteers. So we kiss the feet that you walk on. We are just so appreciative.” Visit http://www.vucf.getinvolveducf.com, for more information about Volunteer UCF.

Ingle: mumblecore is authentic and immediate FROM A1 ple,” said Ingle, a student in the Film Master of Fine Arts program. “I want to make a movie which turns the mirror back on these people, and comedy is the perfect disassociating agent. Laughter is a great way to provoke thought and positive change.” The film’s producer, UCF alumnus Addison Bryan, said the crew is shooting scenes at private residences, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and Regatta Pointe Marina at the start of production. They are focused mainly on scenes driven by dialogue until they begin filming in Sarasota’s Cock & Bull Pub – a location that will involve an actual concert featuring local bands and hundreds of extras, according to Ingle. Bryan said the film has an amazing cast that was hand-picked from a very talented pool of actors from Los Angeles, Orlan-
do and Sarasota. “Directing actors has always been my weakness as a director, so I wanted to immerse myself in a project that would force me to tackle that weakness head-on,” Ingle said. “The performances are by far the most important element of the film.” The film’s production crew also includes recent graduate Reid Nicewonder as the director of photography. Nicewonder has previously worked alongside Ingle and Bryan on projects such as the feature-length paranormal thriller titled Sanctuary. “Real professionalism is collaboration in service of the film, and our crew has the same camaraderie as our cast,” Ingle said. “Addison and I have learned over the years that, although talent and skill are important, it’s also important to work with nice people, so we consciously looked for positive personalities for our team this time around.”
Other past projects include Ingle’s web series Generation Why and several winning short films with Campus Moviefest that helped generate some of the funds to finance the team’s current production. “I like doing something completely different with each new project,” Ingle said. “Mumblecore is a fascinating genre to me because it’s so authentic and immediate, without any of the fakeness that comes with most Hollywood films.” Ingle’s production, although partly based on the Hollywood-industrial model that typically involves everything from a full film crew to craft services, is operating on a limited budget that is mandated by UCF’s Film Master of Fine Arts program to amount to no more than $50,000. When money is no longer a tool to rely on, filmmakers must focus on creative decisions and solutions to problems that

A screenshot from the self-learning module on Dementia shows medical students how to treat patients with mental illnesses.
Klapheke’s team the Outstanding Innovation in Medical Education Poster Award. “They felt what we were doing was an innovative way of addressing a need in medical education,” Klapheke said. According to Klapheke, he would be nowhere without the help of his UCF colleagues. Dale Voorhees, director of learning systems of the College of Medicine, assisted with the filming and editing of the video portions of the modules, website development and designing the winning poster. “I was pleased to hear the poster won an award,” Voorhees said. “I feel it is important that the national medical community realize the level and quality of technology UCF utilizes in providing students the best medical education in the nation.” In addition to Voorhees, Alexis Chacon, digital imaging technician, helped extensively with the graphics on the poster, creating the logo and layout design. At first, the poster was very generic, but after working together as a team the result was a very
successful and rewarding project, Chacon said. Students in their third or fourth year of medical school will go through training in six-week blocks called clerkships. Students in a psychiatry clerkship will spend their time interacting with actual patients with various psychiatric conditions. The short amount of time that students spend in their psychiatry clerkship may result in some gaps in their knowledge – that is where the selflearning modules come in. “I would much rather have my students see real cases of dementia,” Klapheke said. “If instead they see five cases of depression, ten cases of mania, eight cases of schizophrenia and they don’t happen to see dementia, I can at least fill that gap by using the simulation module. That way they get exposure to a case.” Klapheke worked on the very first module at UCF, showing an actor portraying a patient with dementia over the course of four years. The module begins with Klapheke interviewing a patient. Then, students are given information about the
patient, followed by a quiz. This process repeats until the student has seen the patient’s case evolve over four years. “It doesn’t replace the ideal, which is having every student see every kind of case, but it’s the real world. We deal with it; we don’t always get the ideal,” Klapheke said. What sets these modules apart from their counterparts in other areas of medicine, such as pediatrics, is that access to the database will be absolutely free of charge. “To be quite frank, we didn’t get in this to make money,” Klapheke said. “We’re just educators, it was a natural thing.” Klapheke said the immediate goal is to complete all 14 modules and publish them online for medical schools across the country to access. He hopes that this database will lead to the creation of a more advanced set of modules for medical students starting their residency. “We eventually plan to move beyond just the medical school level and work perhaps with different levels of education of physicians,” Klapheke said. “Residency level will probably be the next step.”

Goal is to make testing accessible worldwide FROM A1 of diagnosing patients on the fly. “You draw some blood from someone and then you put it on a slide and then we apply a dye and if there are some malaria parasites, they will actually adhere to the dye and give a pigmentation to it. If there aren’t any parasites, nothing will happen,” Gibeau said. Using images and samples provided by different labs, the program has proved to be 94.4 percent accurate so far. Team LifeLens is composed of five enterprising individuals from the four corners of the U.S. In addition to Gibeau, Cy Khormaee from the Harvard School of Business, Wilson To from the University of California at Davis, Jason Wakizaka from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and University of California at San Diego graduate Helena Xu all contributed to the cause. Khormaee has requested leave of school for the following year to focus on the venture. “So I’ve officially notified Harvard and will be taking a leave of absence for the next year [or two],” he said. “My family does know and has been incredibly supportive of the decision.” The team won $3,000 during the world finals in New York, and now they are going to apply for the $3 million grant to be unveiled by Microsoft over the course of the next three years. Tara Walker acted as the team’s Academic Development Evangelist liaison, representing Microsoft. She mentioned this year is also the first time the grant is being offered.
“The $3 million is for teams that compete that demonstrate a truly exemplary grasp of the technology they’ve contributed to finding global solutions, so they may really shape and change the world,” Walker said. Out of the 10 different categories within the competition, Korea’s Team, HOMERUN, took first place in the Windows 7 category with their application named Peekaboo, a game that enables family members to communicate, while searching for treasure. Gibeau said one of the reasons LifeLens may not have reached the top two spots is the effect the application has on consumers. The ultimate goal is for consumers to be able to hold the phone over a sample and have the lens actively scan the area for parasites on a microscopic scale. Now the only thing keeping LifeLens from being distributed is the issue of incompatible hardware. The team hopes to finalize the application within the next few months and ultimately be able to send it overseas. Gibeau said the current operating system for the phone will only capture photos of the samples suspected to be riddled with malaria; then the application analyzes the photo. “When it comes to software, [LifeLens] not only helps solve world problems, but it can be adapted to the future as the software evolves,” Gibeau said. “We’re using it as a stepping stone, by detecting malaria, and then the next step would be to see if it’ll be able to work on sickle cell.” As soon as someone builds a phone with a cam-

LifeLens provides a unique opportunity to scale up malaria testing to provide access to the entire world,” Khormaee said. After their presentation at the worldwide finals, Team LifeLens has been invited to the National Summit on Africa to provide a demonstration to The Africa Society and lend their knowledge of this technology to others on an international scale. “Two guys in Poland actually started up a company right after the competition, and now it’s viable in Russia,” Walker said.

Couples wed on 1st day gay marriage is legal in NY CHRIS HAWLEY Associated Press
NEW YORK — Buoyant gay couples cheered by supporters began marrying Sunday across New York on the landmark day it became the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex weddings. Couples began exchanging vows at midnight from Niagara Falls to Long Island, though the center of the action was in New York City, where officials expected to host hundreds of same-sex weddings throughout the day. About 100 couples waited in line on a sweltering morning in Manhattan for the chance to exchange vows at the city clerk’s office.
Some people waiting to wed clutched bouquets and wore tuxedos or wedding dresses before they were ushered into the clerk’s office for a license and a ceremony in one of the building’s simple chapels. Among the first couples to say “I do” were Daniel Hernandez, 53, and Nevin Cohen, 48, Manhattan residents who met in 1998. The two men, wearing matching navy sport jackets, kissed as a group of four friends clapped and news photographers’ cameras snapped. “It feels great,” said Hernandez after the ceremony. “To have achieved this in my lifetime and see so many couples who have been loved and liv-
ing together, to see them finally become part of a greater community of loving couples is phenomenal.” Hernandez teared up as he talked about his family, which is from California and couldn’t attend because of the short notice. The couple is planning a bigger party in the fall. New York’s adoption of legal same-sex marriage is viewed as a pivotal moment in the national gay rights movement and was expected to galvanize supporters and opponents alike. The state joined Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C., when it voted last

month to legalize gay marriage. Protest rallies were planned in Manhattan, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany on Sunday afternoon. Gay marriage opponents unhappy that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers legalized samesex marriage last month are calling for a statewide referendum on the issue. Clerks in New York City and about a dozen other cities statewide opened their doors Sunday to cater to same-sex couples. In New York City and other locations, judges waived a mandatory 24-hour waiting period that allowed couples to exchange vows moments after receiving their licenses. In Farmingville on Long Island, Steven Hammer, 46, and Joe Lobosco, 63, were among the steady flow of people showing up for a license. The residents of Ridge, N.Y., were married in Canada eight years ago, but opted for another ceremony in their home state. “After 21 years together, we’re not going to get cold feet,” Hammer said. “It justifies everything we’ve been living for 21 years.” Initially, New York City officials had projected that about 2,500 couples might show up at the city clerk’s offices hoping to get married on Sunday, but by the time a 48-hour lottery had drawn to a close on Thursday, 823 couples had signed up — 59 more than the city had planned to accommodate. The city will perform ceremonies for all 823. First up in Manhattan were Phyllis Siegel, 76, and Connie Kopelov, 84. In Niagara Falls, gayrights activists Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd were legally married the

very first moment they could be during a midnight ceremony. With the rainbow-lit waterfalls as a backdrop, Lambert, 54, and Rudd, 53, were among the first gay couples to tie the knot with the blessing of the state. Lambert and Rudd, who have 12 grandchildren between them, have been together for more than a decade and had long been fighting for the right to marry. The couple, both from Buffalo, smiled broadly as they exchanged traditional marriage vows, promising to love and cherish
each other in sickness and in health. A crowd of several hundred people cheered as they were pronounced married and shared their first kiss. “What an incredible night this was,” said Lambert, who wore an electric blue satin gown with a sequined train for the midnight ceremony and carried a bouquet of blue hydrangeas. “This was an amazing night. Everything was absolutely perfect.” In Albany, Mayor Jerry Jennings performed marriages at 12:01 a.m. Sunday in the Common Council’s chambers.

IS THE NFL LOCKOUT ABOUT TO END? NEW YORK — A vote on a settlement to the lockout is what every NFL fan wants. Nobody is sure when that might happen. The players’executive committee will meet Monday in Washington after lawyers have worked through the weekend on issues that are holding up an agreement with the owners. Several people with knowledge of the meeting have told The Associated Press that no vote to recommend a deal is certain Monday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the players association has not revealed its plans. Owners approved a tentative agreement to end the four-month lockout on Thursday. But the players said they need more information before they can vote, and took issue with portions of the proposal. Several players only saw that full proposal late Saturday. Should the players’executive committee vote to accept the deal, it then would go to the 32 team representatives to approve. After that, some 1,900 players would need to vote, with a simple majority required for passage. The 10 named plaintiffs in the players’lawsuit against the league — including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — must officially inform the court in Minneapolis of their approval of the pact, too. Players also will need to vote to reestablish the NFLPA as a union; only after that happens could a full collective bargaining agreement be reached. But training camps and preseason games could occur while the sides put the finishing touches on a deal. Only after the NFLPA is again a union can it negotiate such items as the league’s personal conduct policy and drug testing. But a person with knowledge of the executive committee meeting said it will be “to understand where things stand after this weekend’s conversations. No talk of not voting, no talk of vote.” Team facilities would open two days after the executive committee authorizes the deal, which would be Wednesday if a vote comes Monday. Players then can get physicals, sign union cards, receive playbooks, and agents can negotiate or renegotiate contracts. No contracts could be signed, however, until Saturday, when camps would open if the NFLPA is back to being a union and the agreement is approved. Teams also have not negotiated with their draft picks and have not signed undrafted free agents. With regular free agency going on concurrently, it will bring some frenzied times once an agreement has been ratified by both sides. A solution to the four-month lockout, the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987, would come too late to save the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7. It was canceled last Thursday by the league. However, no other cancellations would be needed, and only a few teams would have delayed the start of training camp. Three of those clubs — the Ravens, Giants and Jets — decided to remain at their regular facilities rather than hold camp at a different site. The preseason is scheduled to begin Aug. 11 with Seattle at San Diego. Super Bowl champion Green Bay is set to host New Orleans in the regular-season kickoff on Sept. 8. The major economic framework for a 10-year deal was worked out a week ago. That included how the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues will be divided (about 53 percent to owners and 47 percent to players over the next decade; the old CBA resulted in nearly a 50-50 split); a per-club cap of about $120 million for salary and bonuses in 2011 — and at least that in 2012 and 2013 — plus about $22 million in benefits; a salary system to rein in spending on first-round draft picks; and unrestricted free agency for most players after four seasons. — ASSOCIATED PRESS
STEVEN RYZEWSKI Basketball beat writer
The workout is almost over. Centers Josh Crittle and Dwight McCombs have just one drill left. They catch their breath as they’re told what’s next: jump squats holding a medicine ball, performed on a platform, with cables attached at the waist to add resistance. It’s a high-intensity drill, which, placed at the end of a workout, may seem overwhelming. The real goal, however, is to push them and the others on the team to the next level as athletes. With that in mind, the man running this workout, and all the Knights workouts this summer, shouts out words of encouragement over the loud music playing in the background, pushing Crittle and McCombs to finish strong. Ben O’Donnell, a graduate assistant who aims to improve the Knights’ strength and conditioning, looks like he’s been coaching for years, but in reality, is just a year removed from being the team’s backup point guard. “Ben is great,” forward Tristan Spurlock said. “I love working out with him, and he’s tailoring to each one of us individually what we need to do.” Just two years ago, O’Donnell was going through offseason training himself. He had transferred from Florida State, where he struggled to find playing time, to UCF in hopes of finding a better opportunity. His older brother, Mike O’Donnell, ranks sixth in assists in school history. Naturally, longtime fans

Still, O’Donnell never got the opportunity he desired with the Knights on the court, either, appearing briefly in only 11 contests during the 2009-2010 season. Instead of playing out his last year of eligibility, he decided to pursue an internship in strength and conditioning, his longtime passion and field of study. It was a path that would finally lead to his opportunity to contribute for the Knights, off the court. “I absolutely love it, so I thought I’d take my senior year, instead of waiting until I graduated, to get right into [the strength and conditioning field],” O’Donnell said. “I knew I wasn’t getting in the game a whole lot when I was playing.” Despite feeling good about his decision, O’Donnell admits not playing was tough. “I missed it terribly, I wanted to play so bad,” O’Donnell

Canada champs loom in August exhibition ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
There’s a saying in sports that goes, “If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.” The Knights basketball team will try to do just that in Canada this August. Shortly after UCF’s summer trip to Canada was announced, it was announced that the Knights will face off against the Carleton University Ravens August 11 in Ottawa. The Ravens won the Canadian national title this past season. “It’s a huge advantage to go to Canada and go play against different opponents,” Knights head coach Donnie Jones said in a release. Carleton has won seven of the last nine Canadian Interuniversity Sport
national titles and should be a huge test for the Knights who, with the exception of Marcus Jordan and Keith Clanton, will have a very different starting line up next season. In the meantime, the Knights will get to hold practice for 10 sessions before their Canadian exhibition trip. “It is not very often that you get to practice in July,” Jones said. “We are trying to implement a lot in a very short amount of time. It was good to be back out there, and we are just looking to get better as a team each practice.” The Knights will travel to Canada August 10, will take on the Ravens in Ottawa the next day and will then travel to Montreal to finish out their exhibition series against two other opponents.
The Knights will take on Carleton University in Ottawa on August 11. ALEX SCHIERHOLTZ / CENTRAL FLORIDA FUTURE

Ben O’Donnell guides Knights center Josh Crittle as he performs a shoulder and arm exercise.
Summer training is key FROM A8 said. “At the same time, it was better for my future if I got into [the profession].” Weight training has been something O’Donnell says he has been passionate about since high school. Currently, he’s getting his graduate degree in physical education and exercise science online from the University of South Florida, and is considered a graduate assistant with the team because the athletics department cannot hire another full-time strength and conditioning staff member. While interning elsewhere the year following his departure from the program as a player, O’Donnell says he made an effort to make every practice he could. Coach Donnie Jones, who hadn’t coached O’Donnell as a player, took notice of his diligence, and the situation worked out well. O’Donnell needed a position, preferably around basketball, and Jones, whose teams run a highenergy, athletic brand of basketball, was welcome to adding help for the team. O’Donnell, who credits much of what he has learned to UCF’s strength and conditioning director and assistant, Ed Ellis and Scott Sinclair, says he is lucky to be able to pursue the furthering of his career at UCF. “I always want to be a part of UCF’s program if I can,” O’Donnell said. “I
was so fortunate enough to stay, continue working and be a part of UCF Athletics.” Over the summer, O’Donnell has been heavily involved with helping the Knights progress physically, drawing up programs with specific goals for each athlete. “Right now, we have a six-week program,” O’Donnell said. “I have four guys that need to gain mass, and I got three guys that need to lose weight. So those three guys are going to be doing something different than those four guys. We might do less reps, heavier weight with the guys who need to gain mass.” So far, the response from players has been positive. “He’s doing basketballrelated [weight training], which is good for everybody,” point guard A.J. Rompza said. “He’s done a great job and I tell him that every time we work out…He really knows what he is doing right now.” As Rompza mentioned, O’Donnell’s programs are all basketballspecific, with all components having a direct correlation to what goes on, on the court. “I don’t want to do anything that I think is not going to transition into the game,” O’Donnell said. “I want all the movements and everything we’re going to be doing [on the court]. I want to try to simulate that in the weight room as much as I can…I want to have them ready to go, right from
weights, ready to go play pick-up or whatever they’re doing.” The emphasis on practicality with regards to the game is something the players, including Rompza, appreciate. “It’s fun for us because you’re putting on weight and everything else, but you also feel good, and I think that’s the most important thing, is feeling good,” Rompza said. O’Donnell also believes he has the players’ support and the ability to extract their best efforts from them because they believe his intentions are good. “They love it because I try to implement it in their minds that this is for them,” O’Donnell said. “I’m trying to get them better and get them to the next level.” Though the season is a ways off, O’Donnell is excited to see the results of his programs. All the hard work taking place at the UCF practice facility, on the court and in the weight room, is geared toward the Knights making another step forward as a program, after a successful season last year. O’Donnell is excited to be a part of program’s growth, even if it’s not in the way he may have originally envisioned. “I can’t wait for this season,” O’Donnell said. “I can’t wait to see [the offseason workouts] transition onto the court…I love this school, I love the university, I love the athletics here. It’s great to be a part of it.”

OUR STANCE
Nurse rights of independence M
any people who live in nursing homes fail to get the opportunity to live independently, and this is a trend that needs to change. Some people find themselves in nursing homes due to requiring simple therapeutic treatment. Rosa Hendrix, an 88-year old woman, is a case study in this unfortunate reality. Hendrix was featured in an article on the National Public Radio website, which discusses her nursing home experience. Six years ago, she fell and hurt her leg, and as a result found herself in a nursing home for what should have been a temporary stay for therapy. When the therapy took longer than expected, her Social Security check was diverted to finance her room at the nursing home, instead of paying for her apartment. She lost her apartment and had no family to help her out. She ultimately sued the state of Georgia to demand her own apartment, according to NPR. With the help of the Atlanta Legal Aid society, she based her lawsuit upon the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hendrix was eventually able to find an apartment suitable to her needs.
If people in a nursing home meet the basic requirements of being able to live on their own, they should be allowed to do so. Doing so will improve the quality of life for these people and lighten the load on caregivers in nursing homes. NPR has compiled a database of information detailing the percentage of people in nearly 16,000 nursing homes that meet certain requirements to live independently, such as eating, breathing and dressing. Locally, there are a variety of local nursing homes that appear to show evidence of people who can live independently. According to NPR, at Colonial Lakes Health Care in Winter Garden, 23 percent of residents can independently dress, 24 percent can independently bathe and 65 percent can eat on their own. Eight percent can walk and 28 percent can use the restroom on their own. At East Orlando Health and Rehab Center, 52 percent of residents can eat independently, but the other statistics fall below 5 percent. Although these numbers indicate potential for individuals to live on their own, each center would need a further examination of its residents to determine whether these individuals
are ready to live on their own. Nursing homes all across the country should take a closer look at its facilities to determine who can and cannot live independently. Beyond this, cities and states should look at providing more wheelchair-accessible housing for those who may need it once they leave a nursing home. One of Hendrix’s problems once she left was finding a new home that could accommodate her disability. Cheryl Laurendeau, an advocate who works to help people move out of nursing homes, highlights this point in the NPR article. “People seem to think that two or three inches of a step is accessibility,” Laurendeau said. “But it’s not for a wheelchair.” Hendrix is only one of many people that could potentially be in a nursing home when they need not be. If people can show that they meet the basic requirements to live independently, then we need to make sure that we are making that happen. If they cannot live independently, we should also look at ways of providing inhome nursing care to those people that would like to leave a nursing home. This is a simple matter of freedom and fairness.
