Study space open All Knight Hours extended at UCF Arena location CHANTAL AUGUSTO Contributing Writer
At a university of nearly 60,000 students, demand for a quiet space to study is ever present. Even with the new expansion of the 24/5 Student Union at the beginning of this month, the need for study space is still a priority for students at UCF.
Last year, the Student Government Association unveiled All Knight Study, the first 24-hour study area on campus. This year, SGA President Matthew McCann and Vice President Adam Brock have decided to expand the All Knight Study to be UCF’s first and only 24/7 study area.
To comment on this story visit: www.UCFNews.com “The demand for latenight study and the resources it offers has greatly expanded,” Brock said.

UCF dining halls switch to earth-friendly takeout boxes LAURA NEWBERRY Senior Staff Writer
Disposable to-go boxes are a thing of the past for UCF dining halls. As a part of UCF Dining Services’ environmental sustainability efforts, Knightro’s and Marketplace now only offer reusable “green” boxes for students wanting to take their food to-go. The initiative will divert 145,000 foam boxes from going into landfills annually, said Eden Wetherell, sustainability coordinator for UCF Dining Services. The “green” boxes are free for any student with a meal plan. Those without meal plans are required to put down a $5 deposit to use the boxes, which are returned to UCF Dining Services at the end of the year. Students who use the boxes return them to the dining halls during their next visit, where they are traded out for a new, sanitized box.

2 charged with killing, robbing Florida man TAMPA — Tampa Police say they have arrested two of the four suspects who allegedly broke into a home, killed the homeowner and set the house on fire. Authorities said the robbers attacked the victim Thursday morning and stole items from the house before setting it on fire. It’s unclear what was stolen or whether the suspects knew Richard Lee Blackman. Authorities found Blackman in the living room of the smoke filled home. He later died at the hospital. Police released new details Saturday, saying they had arrested two suspects and were working leads on two others.

About 2,000-square feet of digital commercial, academic and social potential could be coming to the UCF Arena pending approval from the Board of Trustees. Wednesday, Sept. 28, the BOT will approve or disapprove the display of Mediamesh®, a Garage Media technology, on the face of UCF Arena, according to the BOT’s agenda. According to the agenda, “Mediamesh® is a technology that integrates digital imagery and color with metal fabric. The LED mesh display will become the premier messaging center on campus and will allow UCF to showcase its facilities, programs and students in larger-than-life form.” If approved, the Mediamesh® screen would be used commercially, academically and socially, according to the agenda. Commercially, UCFapproved partners and advertisers would be able to advertise from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Potential advertisers include: Apple, Burger King, Southwest Airlines, Nike, Rockstar Games and 92 other major corporations. The screen comes at no cost to UCF; installment and
the Garage Media website. Mediatecture can currently be seen on the American Airlines Arena in Miami and on the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City. According to the website, Mediamesh® is 80 percent more energy efficient than standard digital billboard technology as it doesn’t require high energy cooling and ventilation systems. SGA President Matthew McCann said the potential the screen has makes looking into it worthwhile. “One of the greatest things about the Mediamesh® concept is it has so much potential…it can highlight different student activities, works and a lot of the things students come to UCF for,” McCann said. McCann also said that Movies on the Plaza is an event students have come to expect, but putting it together is a lot of work. “This will help reach a larger population of students,” McCann said. “It’s just a cool experience to watch an entire movie on the side of a building.” For live-blog coverage of the BOT meeting, visit www.ucfnews.com Wednesday, Sept. 28.
To comment on this story: www.UCFNews.com operating costs will all be covered by Garage Media, according to the agenda. Estimated annual ad revenues with 100 percent ad sales at full utilization are projected at $2.1 million, according to the agenda. Academically, the screen might be used to display the work of students in the graphic design, advertising or public relations fields. According to the agenda, the screen could also be used to distinguish award-winning students and colleges. According to the agenda, the screen has a lot of potential socially. In addition to displaying announcements and promoting social events, the screen could be used to host Movies on the Plaza, a moviescreening event put on by the Campus Activities Board throughout the year. The screen could also be used to display away games and other athletic events. Garage Media, whose headquarters are located in Hartford, Conn., partnered with Mediamesh® and A2aMedia to create outdoor media technology or “mediatecture” as it is referred to on

South Florida woman had 114 cats MIAMI — A South Florida woman told animal control officials she has been hoarding more than 100 cats at her home. The woman showed up at Miami-Dade’s Animal Services Department on Wednesday to surrender 20 cats. But as investigators questioned her, the woman admitted she had more and led officials to her two-bedroom town house. Officials said she had 114 cats in varying degrees of health. Some had to be euthanized. Dozens are up for adoption. The Miami Herald reported the woman will not face animal cruelty charges because she surrendered the animals voluntarily.

Alumni recruited to serve as mentors DANIELLE LORD Contributing Writer
UCF alumni business professionals are sharing their wealth of knowledge with undergraduate business students from their alma mater through the College of Business’ new mentorship program. “The idea was to provide an opportunity for the alumni to give back to the school, while at the same time giving students experience outside of the classroom,” said Bridget Downes, assistant director of development at the College of Business. “We wanted to help the students understand what the working world is like, how to transition from being a student to working in their career, how to prepare a good résumé, and to help them network.” Forty alumni and students were chosen from a group of applications and
are expected to meet regularly throughout the course of the school year. The College of Business recommends they meet at least once a month. “We’re hoping the mentors will share networks and provide resources to their mentees. Maybe allow them to meet with other professionals from other colleges,” Downes said. “We also recommend the students shadow their mentors for a day to get a feel for what it will be like after graduation, and then vice versa, the mentors could attend a class with their student and help answer any questions they may have.” The idea for this new mentorship program began during an alumni event last spring as a simple conversation and then took off from there. “The program really just started with a cocktail conversation among the

alumni and continued as a really great project with quite a bit of groundwork,” said Monica Thorsen, College of Business Administration alumni chair, and mentor. “There was a lot of research that went into this as far as how it should run, what the application process should be like, creating criteria for the mentors and who exactly we wanted to target for the
mentees.” The program received a lot of support from the alumni hoping to give back to the school that gave them so much. “I wanted to do this because I like being involved in the school. My wife works here, and I help students find jobs in the firm I work for,” said Matt Holt, UCF accounting alumni mentorship chair
and mentor. “And I want to help give the students something I never had. It would’ve been nice if I had a mentor to answer a lot of questions I had while I was going to school. I asked professors, advisors and recruiters, but now I have the opportunity to provide valuable resources to these students.” The official start of the program begins Tuesday, Sept. 27, with the College of Business’ kick-off event. Students and mentors will gather together for a casual meet-and-greet. Some mentors and mentees will be meeting each other for the first time, and all will be welcome to talk with each other and learn about different programs and opportunities. “I would’ve loved having a mentor when I was going to school. I think while you’re doing your studies you’re mostly focused on the end picture
of graduating and you don’t really think about what’s going to happen with the job interview process and writing a résumé and what it really takes to land a job. I’m excited this program can now help with those same thoughts for the students,” Thorsen said. After the pilot year, the College of Business is hoping to see their project grow and improve, with plans to someday include all students from their school. “We’re hoping the program will continue on in the direction it’s going now. But we do want to learn more on how to improve it; we’ve set up surveys at the end of the year to help us with that,” Holt said. “We also selected a small group of students this year and hopefully by next year we’ll be able to expand to more people, and steadily grow year after year.”
Hikers released from Iranian prison return to US NEW YORK (AP) — Two Americans held for more than two years in an Iranian prison on accusations of spying returned to the U.S. on Sunday, ending a diplomatic ordeal that began with what they called a wrong turn into the wrong country. Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer arrived at Kennedy Airport in New York City at about 11 a.m. The two were released from prison last week. They arrived Wednesday in Oman under a $1 million bail deal and were embraced by relatives. They were detained along with fellow hiker Sarah Shourd in July 2009 along the Iran-Iraq border.
They say they were only hiking in Iraq’s relatively peaceful Kurdish region and may have wrongly ended up in Iran. Before boarding the plane in the Omani capital of Muscat on Saturday night, the men made brief statements and thanked Oman’s ruler for helping secure their release. “We hope to someday return to this wonderful country, but for now we are eager to go home at last,” Fattal told reporters. Bauer said he won’t forget the feeling of seeing their loved ones waiting for them in Oman. “The joy of embracing them all after so long will stay with us forever,” he
said. A furious diplomatic effort led to the release of Shourd about a year ago, and negotiations continued for the two men. Last month, Fattal and Bauer were sentenced to eight years in prison each for illegal entry into Iran and espionage. The first hint of change in the case came last week when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Fattal and Bauer could be released within days. But wrangling from within the country’s leadership delayed efforts. Iranian defense attorney Masoud Shafiei secured the necessary judicial approval Wednesday for the bail —
$500,000 for each man. Hours later, the gates of Tehran’s Evin prison opened and the Americans headed in a convoy with diplomats to Tehran’s Mehrabad airport. Iran’s Foreign Ministry called their release a gesture
of Islamic mercy. Until their release, the last previous direct contact family members had with Bauer and Fattal was in May 2010, when their mothers were permitted a short visit in Tehran, which Iranian officials used for high-pro-
file propaganda. Since her release last year, Shourd has lived in Oakland, Calif. Bauer, a freelance journalist, grew up in Onamia, Minn., and Fattal, an environmental activist, is from Elkins Park, Pa., a Philadelphia suburb.

SGA budgets for expanded study center hours FROM A1 Brock said a good amount of students are utilizing the space. “Many students are taking advantage of this. At least 200 a night, which is great for the opening weeks,” he said. Previously, the All Knight Study by the UCF Arena was open at 9 a.m. Sunday morning and clos-
ing at 9 p.m. Friday night, with hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays. With the new expansion, the All Knight Study will truly be all night, every night. Josh Miller, the SGA comptroller and chief financial officer, said that in the 2010-11 fiscal year budget, SGA set aside $160,000 for the construction, furniture and everything that went into the creation of
All Knight Study. “Starting in the 2011-12 budget, a reoccurring cost of $73,400 will be spent on All Knight Study for maintenance, salaries and anything else needed to run the program,” Miller said. The funding for the study space will now go through the Student Union, and the Student Union will now be held responsible for the operation of this pro-
gram. However, “An SGA representative will still be there at all times to help students with anything,” Brock said. With the expansion of the All Knight Study, all of the resources that are available during the current hours will still be available whether a student comes in at noon or midnight. Students are able to take advantage of free scantrons, copying, printing, multipurpose rooms with white boards and many more resources. The SGA website has a full description of all the resources, with pictures, of everything All Knight Study has to offer for UCF students. Universities such as Florida State University and University of Florida have long since had 24/7
study spaces. Brock has high expectations for the expansion and popularity of the expansion. “We are really excited about this and hope more students take advantage of this great opportunity,” he said. Through the 24/7 All Knight Study and the 24/5 Student Union, students now have more opportunities for a quiet space to study or a fun place to hang out with friends. “The Student Union is a great place for private study and group study or even a great place to hang out because of the TVs and XBoxes,” Ashley Tinstman, SGA public relations coordinator, said. During the extended hours, scantrons are hand-
ed out at the Information Desk from midnight to 7 a.m., and the Express Print Lab remains open during the new hours. Brock said that Subway and Joffrey’s Coffee have so far agreed to remain open during the extended Student Union hours, and perhaps in the near future, more of the restaurants will remain open for more convenience of students staying late in the Student Union. Whether students choose to study at extended hours of the 24/5 Student Union or the 24/7 All Knight Study by the Arena, students now have new opportunities for studying or meeting with friends that have not been available to previous generations of UCF students.

newly opened legislative director position, as she was extremely impressed with Quintero just by the few times they spoke in person. “Kelly has different qualities that I like to see in upcoming leaders, and many of us are older, and I love having a younger feminist on board because we need to know how our actions and reactions are affecting our leaders of tomorrow,” Slutiak said. Quintero was accepted into the Tallahassee-based position in June, but the job will not really start to pick up until the legislature is in session, which is in January. “I look at this position as a chance to get involved and put to work the things I have learned in my classes to better inform women about what bills are affecting them in the Florida legislature,” Quintero said. With this new position, Quintero will be traveling to Tallahassee a few times a semester to speak with Florida NOW lobbyists, but she insists that it will not interfere with her school work. “I will give it my all, but only after I give being a student my all,” she said. She will also be lobbying herself, talking to Florida representatives about bills that affect women and giving women in Florida the information they need to make an informed decision about such things as women’s health care. “As a woman, it is so important to know how the government is treating you and how your health is basically on the chopping block because there are not many female representatives and so they don’t know what women’s health really entails,” Quintero said. In addition to lobbying, Quintero is fulfilling her

dream as an active feminist by participating in as many events as possible to spread the message of equal opportunities for women. Such events include women’s marches, organizing the Take Back the Night event which is a march to end rape and rape violence and organizational conferences in Florida that support feminism and bring awareness to issue regarding women in today’s society. “Feminism is my passion, and for me to be able to be a student and speak out about feminism means so much to me,” Quintero said. “ And you don’t have to be anti-man to be prowomen. To be a feminist means to be a female activist and to fight for women’s equality.” NOW at UCF members are all proud of Quintero for branching out of the UCF chapter to the
state chapter to make a bigger difference. “It is great that Kelly is on the executive board of Florida NOW because she is putting in a younger perspective into the mix and is able to tell the board what college students think about certain issues,” said Nicole Elinoff, UCF NOW secretary, psychology major and women’s studies minor. As the new Florida NOW legislative director, Quintero plans on bringing as much as she can to the table and hopes to make an impact in Florida legislature. “My goal is to influence as many representatives as I can, whether that means me talking to them or emailing NOW members to reach out to their representatives to ultimately and finally let women’s voices be heard in the state of Florida,” Quintero said.

Engineering majors team up with UF, USF, FSU FROM A1 ket appeal and energy appeal. Thomas Welch, the press officer for the U.S. Department of Energy, says the decathlon serves several purposes such as: demonstrating to the public the opportunities presented by affordable homes that combine energy-efficient construction and appliances with renewable energy systems that are available today; providing student participants with unique training to help fill jobs in our nation’s clean-energy economy; fostering collaboration among students from different academic disciplines, including engineering and architecture students, who otherwise may not work together until they enter the workplace; and promote an inte-
grated, or “whole building design,” approach to new construction, which differs from the traditional design/build process because the team considers the interactions of all building components and systems to create a more comfortable building, save energy and reduce environmental impact Mike Flynn is one of the UCF graduates who is a part of Team Florida. He said that earning his bachelor’s degree in construction engineering taught him to think systematically, which helped a lot on this project. Currently, Flynn works at the Florida Solar Energy Center, a research institute at UCF. Though he would have liked to work with the civil engineering team of Team Florida, FSEC was there to provide instrumentation expertise. Flynn
said though the team hasn’t won yet, making it all the way to Washington, D.C., is definitely a victory for Team Florida. “Merely by being selected to display our house in Washington, D.C., we have already, in a sense, ‘won’ as we have already passed the rigorous design requirements leading up to this point,” Flynn said. “We are one team of only 20 teams from around the world that have made it this far in the competition.” Team Florida’s entry for the 2011 Solar Decathlon is called the FLeX house, which stands for Florida zero energy prototype. According to their website, www.flexhouse.org, the FLeX house is built for Florida’s hot, humid climate and sized for a young couple on moderate income. Recent houses that have
attempted to be energy efficient in Florida’s climate have resulted in insulated, conditioned living rooms with no connection to the exterior climate. The FLeX house does just the opposite. It is designed to take advantage of the cooler, milder months and close down to save that energy for when it’s needed in the months of temperature extremes. It’s no surprise that the average size of homes in the United States has increased since the 1970s. However, larger homes require more building materials and use more energy. The FLeX house uses a variety of space saving strategies that make the home smaller, but but more functional.
Flynn said that one thing that will make FLeX house stand out in the competition is its look and style. “On one hand, we have a very modern look with glass walls on two sides of the house, giving it a modern and unrestricted feel, with parts of the architecture making it almost feel as if the walls are not there, such as a countertop that runs from the kitchen, seemingly through the wall and outside to the deck,” Flynn said. Flynn said another big difference in the FLeX house is the liquid desiccant system. Liquid desiccant is a chemical that absorbs water vapor out of the air. Team Florida has put a waterfall of this
chemical inside an artistic display case in the main living area. “This allows us to keep the house comfortable using a lot less electricity than a conventional AC would,” Flynn said. “This functional part of our environmental control system also serves as a beautiful display piece in the main living area.” The Solar Decathlon will take place on the National Mall of the West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C., from Sept. 23 until Oct. 2. For more information on the FLeX house visit www.flexhouse.org, and for more information on the contest itself visit http://www.solardecathlon.gov/.
New boxes last two years FROM A1 we had over a quarter of our meal-plan holders pick them up because they wanted to try them out,” Wetherell said. “We’re trying to cultivate an environment of sustainability, but it takes time.” The leak-proof and microwavable boxes are made out of plastic No. 5, also known as polypropylene. Polypropylene is known for its durability, high melting point and recyclability. Wetherell said that the new boxes last up to two years being cleaned by commercial dishwashing machines such as the ones used at Marketplace and Knightro’s. The former to-go boxes provided by the dining halls were made from polystyrene foam, which aids in the creation of the pollutant o-zone and has very little potential to be recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. “It educates the students directly because they’re actually carrying it in their hands,” said Sebastian Church, co-president of UCF Intellectual Decisions on Environmental Awareness Solutions. “They might not understand why Styrofoam is bad, but now they know there’s something better.” Polystyrene can also be toxic to the human body, as the foam can release harm-
ful chemicals into the foods it is containing. Aramark purchased 1,584 “green” boxes for an undisclosed price for the dining halls. On the manufacturer’s website, GET Enterprises, the boxes have an approximate advertised price of $45 per dozen. “The savings are in the long haul. The benefits we’re reaping now is being able to help the university, students and the environment,” Wetherell said. “We may not see a financial return right away, but that’s OK because regardless, we know how important sustainability is.” “It’s just an example of how UCF is starting to recognize how small things can impact the environment,” Church said. “We’re looking at these small parts of living in society and trying to make them more sustainable, trying to find solutions. That’s what Aramark has done. They’ve found a brilliant solution that’s incredibly impactful.” Since the pilot phases of the “green” box initiative, dining services has seen a growing interest in the use. However, student response is varied in regards to the way in which they are now required to transport their takeout. “I think they’re better than the plastic boxes,” freshman Iesha Johnson said. “They save waste, and they’re reusable.” “They’re pretty conven-
ient, I suppose,” freshman computer sciences major Brett Wendrzyk said. “Personally, I liked the Styrofoam ones because I didn’t have to remember to bring the green box, and sometimes their washers break down.” Wetherell said that the money that will be saved in the long-term by purchasing reusable to-go boxes will go towards other sustainability projects and events that educate students on why initiatives such as this one are important.

Turnovers haunt UCF as Knights can’t get past Brigham Young 24-17 STEVEN RYZEWSKI

It was déjà vu of the worst kind. For the second straight week, turnovers and miscues cost the Knights a win. UCF (2-2) dropped the ball literally and figuratively Friday night, losing 24-17 to the BYU Cougars (2-2) in Provo, Utah. To make matters worse, this particular game that got away from the Knights was televised to a national audience on ESPN. “We turned the ball and you just can’t do that,” head coach George O’Leary said in a release. “We had receivers dropping the ball. We had our opportunities but we didn’t take advantage.” UCF led 10-3 at the half, but a kickoff return for a touchdown, a missed field goal, a muffed punt, a fumble and an interception all played into the Cougars outscoring
the Knights 21-7 in the second half. All of those contributed to negate the fact that UCF outgained BYU, had more first downs and controlled time of possession. Now, the Knights have lost two straight games, something they didn’t do at all last season, and a team that was thinking about going undefeated is now just trying to remember how to win.
Offense Against a physical BYU defense, the Knights’ offensive attack did show improvements after a lackluster effort against FIU. UCF compiled 399 total yards on offense compared to BYU’s 260 and

Top 25 and with all the conference realignment going on, the program seemed to be in a prime position. Fifteen days later, a lot has changed. The Knights have given away consecutive games.
Turnovers and miscues have led directly to 28 points in the past two weeks. Against FIU, a fumble was returned for a touchdown and a muffed punt deep in UCF territory led directly to another touchdown. Against BYU, a breakdown in kickoff coverage led to BYU’s first kick return for a touchdown in 13 years. Then, an eerily similar muffed punt situation again led to an easy touchdown for the Cougars. Now, the Knights have dropped consecutive games, something they didn’t do at all last season. They’re 2-2, and saying that they’re off the national radar is probably an understatement. But you want to know the worst part? The worst part is for a program that is truly in need of casual fans, the past two weeks couldn’t have gone worse. You see, UCF has this very loyal, enthusiastic fan

base. And it’s not exactly small, but it’s not exactly enough to fill Bright House Networks Stadium. The program needs the support of casual fans, the ones who don’t bleed black and gold. To be frank, UCF is out trying to gain the support of people who already have a favorite team. Head coach George O’Leary has alluded to it before, trying to get the support of Gator and Seminoles fans by asking why they can’t be “GatorKnights.” Unfortunately, the sell on the “hometown team” is a lot tougher when the team

BYU takes advantage of sloppy second half FROM A7 picked up 19 first downs to the Cougars’ and 16. Still, the Knights put the football on the ground four times, losing it twice. “We’re [making] mistakes that we shouldn’t be making, and that’s how we are losing these games,” quarterback Jeff Godfrey said in a release. “Close games like this, we have to finish like we started.” Godfrey tossed his first interception of the season, but that wasn’t even the worst Godfrey-related news. Godfrey went down hard late in the third quarter, suffering an elbow injury that forced him to sit out a series. Redshirt freshman Blake Bortles filled in admirably, entering the game in a tense situation and completing his first four passes and leading the Knights down the field. Bortles finished with 45 passing yards on four-of-five passing attempts. Still, the drive stalled out and ended in a 35-yard field goal attempt. Senior place kicker Nick Cattoi had made an earlier attempt from 34 yards out but missed his second attempt of the game, squandering a chance to put UCF ahead with the game tied at 17-17. Godfrey, after refusing to go to the locker room, reentered the game the next time the Knights had the ball. The Knights started to put together two fourthquarter drives, down now 24-17, but both ended with turnovers. Godfrey completed a pass to Dontravious Floyd as the team moved down the field with around nine minutes remaining, but Floyd fumbled as he was being tackled, ending that drive. Then, with the Knights
driving again and about three minutes remaining, Godfrey was forced out of the pocket and threw his first interception of the season. Godfrey finished the night 17-of-25 for 272 yards and ran for two touchdowns, giving him eight on the season. Still, the one costly interception will likely be the statistic the sophomore standout remembers the most. If not that, then perhaps the fact that UCF, through four games, is still without a passing touchdown. “We’re making mental mistakes, and on my play where I threw the interception I have to be smarter and throw the ball out of the end zone,” Godfrey said. “I have to learn from that.” Once again, the Knights’ running game was subpar, amassing only 81 yards on the night. UCF’s three-headed monster at running back has been anything but the past two weeks, with none of the three backs able to get into a rhythm Friday night. As a team, the Knights averaged 2.4 yards per carry.
Defense UCF’s defense held BYU to only 260 yards on the night. Where the Knights struggled, though, was handling the Cougars’ rushing attack – a rushing attack that had been virtually non-existent for BYU through the first three weeks. That same attack found some footing against the Knights on Friday, with the Cougars rushing for 127 yards. UCF did have success, though, containing BYU quarterback Jake Heaps. Heaps, who passed for 305 yards the week before, threw for only 133 against the Knights on 16-of-34 passing.
TRENT NELSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS
BYU kick returner Cody Hoffman returns a kickoff for a touchdown against the Knights.It was BYU’s first kickoff returned for a touchdown in 13 years.
The sophomore quarterback also had an interception, picked off in the first quarter after a tipped ball landed in the hands of Josh Robinson. “This is really tough because we had the lead coming into halftime and we just folded in the second half,” defensive tackle Victor Gray said in a release. “The mistakes keep catching up with us. We made them last week and we made them this week again. We won’t be a championship-caliber team if we keep making these kinds of mistakes.”
Special teams Typically associated with having a very disciplined and effective special teams unit, UCF’s special teams looked anything but on Friday night. “It’s a shame, and then
the kickoff coverage hurt us too,” O’Leary said. “Sloppy coverage and a bad kick.” Three huge miscues by the unit, all in the second half, directly played into the Knights dropping a winnable game for the second straight week, and it all started with botched kicked return coverage. UCF had just regained some momentum, going up 17-10 on a Godfrey keeper. On the ensuing kickoff, however, the Knights’ coverage broke down and BYU return man Cody Hoffman took the ball 93 yards to the house, instantly taking away the momentum UCF had just gained. There was also the Cattoi miss from 35 yards early in the fourth quarter, as demons of Knights’ field goal troubles in the past resurfaced at an inopportune time.
Despite the miss, the defense was able to stop the Cougars on their next drive, forcing BYU to punt. That’s when returner J.J. Worton, brought in to correct UCF’s return issues it had been having with Josh Robinson, decided to try to field the punt off a high bounce. Instead, the ball bounced off Worton’s helmet and ended up in the hands of Cougar Michael Alisa. Alisa took the muffed punt into the end zone, but since rules state you cannot advance a muffed punt, the ball was whistled dead where it was recovered. Still, BYU had no trouble scoring on its ensuing drive – a touchdown that would end up being a game-winner for the Cougars.
Final word There might not be a
much better time for a bye week. The Knights didn’t drop consecutive games at all last season but now find themselves at a crossroads. UCF will have two weeks to dwell on its mistakes and go about correcting them before opening Conference USA play at home against the Marshall Thundering Herd. The outcome of that contest will determine whether the Knights embark on an unexpected three-game skid or regain some confidence with a win. Until then, though, this team will be staring down some hard questions and looking for answers. “We didn’t make plays and in the second half we had some bad decisions,” O’Leary said. “But we have to move on and it’s a long season for a reason.”

Men’s soccer
Win streak comes to an end against FGCU ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
It’s been a while since the No. 8 men’s soccer team has lost a game — November 20, 2010, after Michigan ended the Knights’ season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, to be exact. The Knights’ sevenmatch unbeaten streak ended Saturday after falling to FGCU 2-1 at home. “You don’t want it to [end],” head coach Bryan Cunningham said. “It’s unfortunate. [Give] credit to Florida Gulf Coast – they outplayed us. We had plenty of chances today that went begging. They had two great chances and they finished them. There is the result to winning.” A weather delay caused the match to be postponed from Friday night to Saturday afternoon, but Cunningham said that didn’t play a part in the loss. “Both teams were in the same situation,” Cunningham said. “At the end of the day, we were at
home and should have been able to make the adjustment.” The Knights had plenty of chances against FGCU, attempting 17 total shots. Adam Glick, FGCU’s goalkeeper, played a fantastic game, however, recording three saves and only letting a Ben Hunt-equalizing goal through in the 34th minute. Andres Navas of FGCU quickly took back the lead 14 minutes later. “Their goalkeeper, give him a lot of credit,” Cunningham said. “He won player of the year, and he kept three shots out of the net, so that’s the difference.” UCF was also without its star player and the nation’s leading scorer, McKauly (Jimmy) Tulluch, who received a red card against George Mason last week. The Knights will have Tulluch back just in time for their Conference USA opener against Kentucky on Wednesday. “It’s not often that we get outworked and outplayed at home … but it’s just one loss,” Cunning-

ham said. “There was some good moments but in the end, our defending has to get better and be prepared for Kentucky to come down here and give us their best shot, as well.”
Winning out can turn heads FROM A7 is giving away games. Add in a bye week and the beginning of a conference slate with a bunch of teams casual fans haven’t heard of or don’t respect, and all the momentum built after last season, UCF’s best season, is in jeopardy. It’s an unfair burden to the players, seemingly having to play for more than wins or losses. Often, with all the speculation swirling around the program, it sort of feels like they’re out there trying to play UCF’s way into a BCS conference. How fair is that? But when you have a program that wants so badly to crack the big time, there’s no avoiding it. Truth is, this UCF
team can, and likely will, still have a good season. Giving away games, by definition, means you were good enough to win but found a way to not. Heck, if they rattle off eight straight wins in conference play, this could still be called a great season. But whether or not fans respect Conference USA or the teams that play in it, that doesn’t change the fact that there are some tough tests still ahead of the Knights and that the teams in the league will come to play each week. This team should have all the motivation it needs over the next two weeks and open conference play with a bang. Don’t be surprised if the Knights take seven of eight conference games. Still, winning all eight
would be extremely tough, especially when you look at consecutive road games against East Carolina and Southern Miss. Though at 2-2 right now, a 9-3 season is still in the cards, and that would be a good season. There’s a lot of football left and a chance for the Knights to still turn some heads this season. Maybe that’s what will happen. Maybe the Knights come out of their bye week, correct the mental errors that have plagued them the past two weeks and are great the rest of the season. Because there is a pretty good chance they’ll still be good. But this season, more than any other, good just might not be good enough.

OUR STANCE
State waivers a positive impact T
he Obama administration recently took a step that will provide significant relief to states struggling to meet federal accountability standards in education. The administration will now grant relief from certain parts of the No Child Left Behind education law, according to an announcement by officials on Thursday evening. What this means to states is that they can apply for waivers from specific parts of the law, provided they can show that they are pursuing their own tough accountability systems. Florida will be one of the states looking to apply for a waiver. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the state is already pushing for many reforms that the White House is seeking from states. It reports that Florida has what is known as a “Differentiated Accountability System” designed to make the law more bearable. Florida educators have long had objections to this law, particularly in instances when the law conflicted with the state’s accountability system, which grades schools A-F. Providing these waivers is the right step to take because it provides states with the flexibility necessary to improve their schools
according to what is working in their state. It also gives breathing room to states that are showing progress in improving educational proficiency. Under the current law, all schools would be required to reach 100 percent proficiency for all students by 2014. States that do not reach this target but can show progress toward the goal will benefit greatly from these waivers. It would be wrong to cut the legs out from under them just as they are improving. According to Delaware Online, states would have to provide a plan that shows students are prepared for college careers and creates evaluation standards for teachers and principals. “For schools, it means they won’t be labeled a failure by the federal government and risk losing critical funding,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. This could benefit schools locally. Eagle’s Nest Elementary School in Orange County, for example, earned an “A” on its state report card this year. However, because its black and low-income students continue to struggle, it would be labeled as failing under the federal standard, which looks at students according to subgroups. Tom Butler, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Education, said the waiver option
will give the state significant benefits, according to the Sentinel. “The benefits of a waiver would be very evident for Florida, especially in giving us the ability to better align state and federal accountability requirements so parents and the public can more easily understand how our schools are doing,” Butler said. This law could significantly undercut schools that are making progress in improving proficiency among its students. The White House has said that as many as 80 percent of schools in the U.S. could soon be marked as failing, according to the Sentinel. This would be a significant amount of educational institutions to deny funding to and could essentially have the effect of setting back the progress of these schools. No Child Left Behind is a law that requires reform in order to provide flexibility for states and local communities in achieving their educational mission. Many communities face different demographics and must tailor their educational programs differently than others. Providing these waivers is a necessary step to take until this law can be reformed to better fit the needs of states and local communities.

Hey master’s school, what would Jesus do? Me one is GAY and proud! If God created all of us, and he didn’t want us to be gay, then why on earth are we here? And don’t give me that load of crap that "it’s a choice" because is not. Being gay is not a choice, is the way you were born. God is the almighty one, if he didn’t want us around then we wouldn’t be, since he’s accepting us, who the heck you think you are to judge us? To be honest I’m kinda sick of
the churches hating and blaming the gays, when they are actively covering up the biggest pedophile ring in the world... yes you read that right. They can molest your kids at Sunday schools and cover it up, but they preach against gays... go figure... — GAY AND PROUD
