EagleMail is getting a new nest.

On Jan. 3, FGCU will undergo a conversion to Live@EDU, Microsoft’s hosted email solution. The change will lead to new features and extra storage, but students will be required to reactivate their account after the conversion.

“Because of the MS Domain, the available tools, and the SGA’s choice to purchase the campus-wide agreement, the move to Live@EDU

was the most logical choice. We did look at all of the hosted solutions and compared features, benefits, and implementation issues and costs,” said Charlie Weaver, director of network services.

Although the change may feel sudden to some students, the system conversion began almost two years ago with a technology survey that started the process of determining what features students are most interested in.

“After the survey results were reported, we went to the SGA and

asked them for further input and clarification,” Weaver said. “We are making this change to benefit students and move the current student email into a modern robust system with many more features than they have had in the past, for no additional costs, and without asking for money from the SGA or raising fees to support this system.”

One of the new features offered by Live@EDU is a calendar that students can share with friends, groups and family. The university will also be able to create a calendar to which students

8[[\iXccj_fikX^\ 9p D`b\ I`ZZ` :f$dXeX^`e^ \[`kfi Finals week checklist: textbooks, Red Bull, Adderall ... Adderall?

Many college students across the nation are including the commonly prescribed medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, on their list of items to stock up on for the dreaded finals week.

The combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine helps children and adults suffering from ADHD stay focused.

“Adderall and amphetamines like that are designed to replace certain neurotransmitters or to help them work better so that a person can reduce their anxiety enough to actually be able to focus and study,” said Rosalyn Gross, an assistant professor in the school of nursing.

However, according to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 percent of students used the drug for non-medical purposes. Since Adderall accomplishes the goal of being an effective study aid, it is growing more popular with students on college campuses across the country.

“I don’t have a specific person I can go to, but if I really wanted it and went through certain people, I’d probably be able to find it,” said Alycia Silber, a junior majoring in communication.

Adderall comes in two different forms, extended (XR) and immediate release. XR releases the active ingredient over an extended period of time (usually eight hours) so it lasts the length of school for children.

Immediate release, the more popular form for non-medical use, delivers the dosages instantly, making the effects happen sooner.

Following a brief discussion, the FGCU board of trustees unanimously approved a raise for faculty and staff at the board of trustees meeting Tuesday.

The 2 percent increase from last

can subscribe with all of the academic dates on it.

“Any entity or group on campus can create and maintain a calendar that students can decide to subscribe to or not,” Weaver said. “Students will be able to send appointments to other students or to anyone using a system that supports the standard method of calendar appointments. Students will be able to arrange group meetings or club meetings very quickly using the calendaring features.”

People generally take the pill by swallowing it, although snorting is another popular method with people who use it for recreational purposes.

Apart from being addictive, Adderall has many side effects, including difficulty falling asleep, nervousness, uncontrollable shaking and headaches. In extreme cases, it can also cause sudden death for those with heart conditions.

Possibly due to the growing abuse of Adderall, it has become increasingly difficult for people to get prescriptions of immediate release Adderall filled.

year’s salaries will be effective on Jan. 1 for FGCU faculty and staff.

Provost Ron Toll said that FGCU officials did not consider the university financially capable of offering the raise at the close of bargaining, but additional information, such as enrollment

figures, altered this opinion.

“Based on additional information that came to us, including fall enrollment — which we really don’t know until students get here — the administration determined we would be able to reward our faculty by providing this raise,” Toll said.

It was an announcement that has been five years in the making.

The FGCU men’s soccer team, fresh off a dramatic win in their first Atlantic Sun Tournament, turned their attention to the NCAA selection committee Monday. The Eagles (12-5-2) intently watched, via live broadcast, as they drew Central Florida (11-5-3) in a highly anticipated rematch.

The first NCAA tournament game in the program’s young history is scheduled to take place in Orlando on Thursday.

With the A-Sun tournament victory, won on a goal scored by senior Scott Harrison in the 89th minute, the Eagles earned an automatic berth into the NCAA’s 48-team field.

UCF will be a familiar opponent for Bob Butehorn’s squad. FGCU already holds a victory over the Golden Knights this season, defeating the then No. 8 team in the country 2-1 in September.

The mood of the Eagles is tense in the wake of the announcement.

The business-like manner in which Butehorn conducts himself is heightened right now, as he must be feeling the intensity of the moment. Not nervous, but focused, the A-Sun Coach of the Year is staying on message.

“I don’t think nerves have been a problem all year. I don’t think there is any real emotion right now,” Butehorn said. “After we won (A-Sun) it is gone. It’s all done.

It is a new season. We will see what comes (in the NCAA tournament) and take it day by day.”

The debate will take place at 8 p.m.

Tuesday, Nov. 29 in the Student Union Ballroom.

The Programming Board advises that the event is for mature audience members only. The event is open to students, faculty and staff. A valid Eagle ID card is required for entry, and seats are limited.

Jeremy has appeared in more than 2,000 pornographic films. The 58-yearold entertainer earned a master’s degree in special education before becoming a special education teacher at a high school in New York City.

Jeremy’s girlfriend submitted a photo of him to Playgirl, and the strong feedback captured the attention of adult filmmakers.

He then began his continuing career in the adult film industry, and he is now listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for “Most Appearances in Adult Films.” Jeremy has also has appeared in mainstream movies such as “The Boondock Saints” and “Reindeer Games.”

G r o s s . meanwhile, noticed a recurring issue during his work as a pastor in Southern California — an addiction to pornography. This inspired him to create XXXchurch. com, a nonprofit website that Ron Jeremy aims to help those struggling with pornography addiction. The organization claims to be the “No. 1 Christian porn site designed to bring awareness, openness and accountability to those affected by pornography.”

Gross, also a published author, has been featured in Newsweek, CNN and The New York Times and on “Good Morning America.” He regularly engages in debates with Jeremy on college campuses around the country concerning the pornography industry, a program the two have been doing since 2006.

Shyim Robinson, the Programming Board’s director of lectures, said, “While this event will provide entertainment, it also presents the opportunity for

our students to gain more insight and education on issues that may affect our diverse student population.”

Cnnmoney.com reports that the pornography industry generates more than $12 billion in annual revenue in the United States and $57 billion worldwide.

Additionally, USA Today reports that college students, male and female, are a great deal more accepting of pornography than the previous generation, likely due to the increasing accessibility of free pornography on the Internet.

The debate will examine questions relating to the pornography industry, such as, “Is the pornography industry degrading to women, or empowering?” and “Is it an addictive and destructive habit, or a window to a fun fantasy world?”

The purpose of the Programming Board is to provide educational and social entertainment to the student body through diversified programs, promote school spirit and student involvement, and empower the student body in their efforts to make the most of their college experience.

Students have the opportunity to submit questions that they would like asked during the debate by emailing Robinson at PBLecturesDirector@gmail. com.

While the opinions regarding pornography itself may be diverse, many students believe that the decision of the Programming Board to host the debate is a good one.

“I would definitely go. That sounds like a very interesting conversation that I would like to see,” said Gabriela Diaz, a senior majoring in communication.

Carly Binge, a junior majoring in communication, said that she would also like to attend the event.

“I am sure the conversation will get very heated. It’s an intriguing topic,” she said.

Students at Florida Gulf Coast University realize that in today’s economic climate, a degree is not enough, but where the degree is from and what reputation that university holds can be just as important.

Florida is known for having powerhouse universities: University of Florida and University of Central Florida hail as two of the biggest schools per enrollment in the nation.

Florida State University and University of Miami are also recognized nationally for their excellence.

Five-year president of FGCU Wilson Bradshaw understands students’ concerns about where the young university stands compared to other Florida universities.

Since Bradshaw took over in 2007, FGCU has expanded 30 percent and is continuing to grow. Bradshaw expects the university enrollment to reach 20,000 in the next five years; FGCU currently has more than 11,000 enrolled.

Bradshaw urges students to look forward and be proud of what has been happening in the 15 years thus far.

“Not many institutions have been in existence for 15 years and have accomplished what we have,” Bradshaw said.

Still, Bradshaw is aware of where FGCU ranks amongst fellow Florida institutions, but trailing behind does not seem to bother him.

U.S. News Best College rankings system places FGCU 75th in the South Regional Universities, behind other Florida schools in the division: Rollins College (ranked No.1), University of Tampa (23), Jacksonville University (46), University of North Florida (48) and Palm Beach Atlantic University (51).

“Rankings are rankings; they are flawed in many ways,” Bradshaw said. “(In 50 years) in Florida, I think we’ll be No.1.”

Tiffany Tiliacos, a sophomore majoring in nursing, expressed concern about the reputation of FGCU. “I think that sometimes a degree from University of Florida or one of the bigger brand-name schools may help to open more doors for my career,” Tiliacos said.

Like most students, Tiliacos finds much to love about FGCU: the smaller class sizes, the accessibility and the commitment to sustainability.

She hopes these aspects translate into a positive reputation.

“I love it here, but I hope that we continue to build up our name to make us more attractive and known across the country,” Tiliacos said.

Despite the rankings and student concerns, Bradshaw stands by his ardent message.

“We remain very committed, in my opinion, to the highest quality undergraduate experience that students can have anywhere,” he said.

Bradshaw encourages students to be proud of what FGCU has accomplished and look forward to what it will accomplish.

“I think 50 years from now, people will know FGCU because we will have a

medical school. We will have a highly successful Division I program, and people will know us for that. We need to be kind to ourselves. We’re 15 years old, and we will make our reputation as we go,” he said.

English literature professor Rebecca Totaro said that she is sometimes skeptical about the brand name of FGCU. She admits that working through her department and getting students into graduate programs has been showing more promise.

“The power base for universities is shifting … it’s more clear that you can have a top-notch education at any number of places and be wellconnected,” Totaro said.

Totaro understands the concern of students, and explains that professors have the same concerns.

Totaro has published three books, including “Suffering in Paradise” and “The Plague In Print,” both scholarly works on the subject of the bubonic plague in literature.

“As a professor who is publishing a lot, it’s important to me that when they see my name associating with a university that they don’t discount me,” Totaro said.

FGCU is still a budding university with a maturing reputation.

Graduating students are at the front lines for building the school’s notoriety when entering the workforce and graduate programs across the country.

“I think it’s looking really good, and I’m a skeptic,” Totaro said.

I\XZk`mXk`fe e\\[\[ ]fi e\n \dX`c `e AXelXip 55<D8@C With the current EagleMail server, students only have 100MB of storage.

The new system will provide 10GB of storage, which is 100 times more than students currently have access to. They will also have access to an additional 25MB of storage that is accessible from any computer through a web browser.

“The Sky Drive is like a portable thumb drive or flash drive that the students can’t lose. You will be able to share out a folder in your Sky Drive to your friends or family so that you can share files,” Weaver said.

Additional features include improved spam filtering and full mobile device support. Students with smart phones will have constant access to their student email and will receive their emails on their phones almost instantly if their phones are set up properly following the conversion.

On Jan. 3, around 9 a.m., students will be able to go to http://eagle.fgcu. edu and re-activate their accounts. They will be required to enter their UID, PIN, and a new password into the web page.

Students will then be able to log into the new system.

“We will have moved the existing email from the current system to the new EagleMail system and all of their mail should be available when they log in,” Weaver said. “When they log into the new system, they will be greeted with a welcome message. The welcome message will have the student’s contacts from the old system as well as instructions on importing the contacts into the new EagleMail system.”

Weaver says that the university was

However, he stressed that students should be aware that they will not be able to use their email, log into Angel, register their computer in housing, or log onto a computer on campus until they re-activate their account.

“We chose Jan. 3, 2012, very carefully so that it would cause the least impact on students, so that the Help Desk would be fully staffed, and so that Network Services would be available in case any student had an issue or needed to have a question answered,” he said.

unable to directly import contacts from the old system into the new EagleMail because of formatting issues, but the only thing that cannot be exported for students will be the calendar in the old system.

The process will be more complicated for alumni who still use their EagleMail account. “Alumni that utilize EagleMail and do not have their UIN or PIN will need to contact the Registrar’s Office to get their UID and PIN in order to be able to re-activate their email account.

We will be contacting FGCU alumni and letting them know that they need to do this before Jan. 3,” Weaver said.

Weaver emphasized that students’ email addresses will not change.

After a 100-pound black bear was spotted roaming around FGCU’s campus Monday night, officials have decided to call off the search.

“It left university property and went over to the golf course,” said UPD dispatcher Rich Anderson.

Although the search was called off, the campus may encounter another visit from the typical Florida black bear, considering this is not the first time the bear has been observed near the school.

The bear was reported as a tagged bear, which means it has already been trapped once and relocated.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Anderson said there are no new updates on the sighting of the bear, but officials say as long as the bear is not causing harm to anyone, there is no need for the search to continue. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website offers several tips for anyone who may encounter a black bear.

However, the walls of FGCU encase some of the brightest young minds from around the world.

Each year, FGCU participates in a Global Undergraduate Exchange Program.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, this program engages emerging student leaders from underrepresented sectors in East Asia, Eurasia and Central Asia, the Near East and South Asia and the Western Hemisphere.

558;;<I8CC â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I know, there is a back order. All we keep hearing is that the manufacturer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it,â&#x20AC;? said a Publix caller servicing at the Estero pharmacy location.

Adderall is listed on the Food and Drug Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of drug shortages.

According to the FDA, active pharmaceutical ingredient supply issues and uneven product distribution patterns are the reason behind the shortage.

The Publix pharmacy said that several people come in or call every day asking if they have Adderall in stock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem; I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abused. I know students who have prescription for ADHD and ADD sell their Adderall,â&#x20AC;? Gross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some try to get more than one prescription from more

These students apply for the opportunity to come to the U.S. and enrich their academic careers by enrolling in courses in an American school. They are also able to engage in American culture and tradition through the Cultural Passport to America Program, which provides cultural involvement opportunities throughout the community and mandates that the students engage in volunteerism.

Timothy Gjini serves as the associate director at the International Services office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a rigorous program guide requiring exceptional performance in and out of classroom settings,â&#x20AC;? Gjini said.

He also mentioned the highly competitive application and selection process these

students must pass in order to be considered for enrollment in the program. Since the program is federally funded, fewer than 100 students are selected each year.

In essence, the students who are finally chosen are truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cream of the cropâ&#x20AC;? according to Gjini. The participants live in student housing during their time at FGCU, and the University makes an effort to place them in dormitories with other American students, in order to further enrich their cultural experience.

This semester, two students from Asia were allotted the opportunity to participate in the Global UGRAD program and travel to the United States. Nasha Chia Hwee Lee of Malaysia and Hun Whee Lee of South Korea

than one provider.â&#x20AC;?

Due to the shortage, some students are forced to try to get the drug from somewhere other than a pharmacy. Many people try to use the lack of Adderall to their advantage and make a quick profit by selling their own prescriptions to their peers that need it for medical reasons or simply for recreational purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard most people try to sell it for like five dollars a tablet. It depends on if it is a random person trying to pick some up or if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a friend trying to get it through another person,â&#x20AC;? Silber said.

There are several medical alternatives to Adderall, such as Concerta, Ritalin and Vyvanse. Vyvanse is becoming the leading ADHD medication. However, Gross said that doctors will often have their patients try Ritalin or other generic brands first due to the cost. Insurance companies will

often not cover Vyvanse.

Despite the list of similar medications, Adderall seems to be the drug of choice for non-medical use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure people have tried other ones and used Adderall as the common name thinking thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it was, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of a specific other drug being used in its place,â&#x20AC;? Silber said.

Although there is no denying the effectiveness of Adderallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to keep students up to help them cram studying in for tests, there is no telling how well they will do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much it does for memory retention, or whether these students are necessarily able to get as good of a grade as if they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been [using Adderall],â&#x20AC;? Gross said.

are considered among the best and brightest within their respective schools.

Nasha, an environmental engineering major, played a key role in establishing the University of Malaysiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first recycling program.

Hun, a business administration and East Asian studies major, has conducted research into the effects and relations of cross-cultural marriages in order to better integrate immigrants into the feverously expanding South Korean society.

Both students were not aware of their host university until the later stages of the selection process, but neither was disappointed with their move to sunny Southwest Florida.

9p BXk_c\\e ?`Zb\p :feki`Ylk`e^ ni`k\i Many college students sit in their dorm and contemplate what they want to do with their life after college. After spending her summer in Africa, Samantha Geis found her answer.

Geis’s travel experience also changed her as a person.

She began her trip in June with International Student Volunteers, a nonprofit organization with which Geis visited seven countries.

After arriving in Africa, Geis said she felt a mixture of culture shock and excitement.

She was introduced to her team leader, Cornelius Van Aswegen, who gave Geis and the rest of the group advice for getting the most out of the trip.

“When you are traveling, don’t look down on these locals. Don’t toss them aside because they are not your lifestyle.

Get to know them and you will learn so much more,” Van Aswegen told Geis about her journey.

Juggling between volunteering and going on African excursion, Geis said she quickly fell in love with the Dark Continent.

Two things she learned were particularly fascinating to Geis: The king of Swaziland was looking for a new bride and a billboard stated one out of three people have AIDS. Geis said that billboard made the whole AIDS crisis real. “I always knew AIDS was a big problem over here [in Africa], but not that huge,” Geis said. “But talking to these people you would have had no idea.”

Locals affected by AIDS told Geis they weren’t afraid of living with the disease.

“It made them appreciate life more,” Geis said. “In Africa, they live life without fear, and over here, we fear everything,” she said.

“Everyone there is so happy. ... I saw

the beauty the world has to offer and really learned how to live.”

Interestingly, Happy was the name of a woman with whom Geis shared an indepth conversation at a hotel in the Hover National Park.

“We talked about her education, school and her children,” Geis said.

“She worked for the World Cup, which I thought was so cool.”

When she came home in July, Geis said she immediately began looking for ways to get back to Africa. She considered re-enrolling in the program, and most recently Geis started looking into the Peace Corps.

“I miss it every day and can’t wait to go back,” she said.

Geis encourages her peers to do something similar. “If everyone at the university traveled, we would be happier.

The problems we have would not seem that big. There are bigger problems out there,” Geis said.

FAST FACTS ABOUT AFRICA It is the world’s second-largest and mostpopulous continent after Asia. It is 11.7 million square miles, covering 6 percent of the Earth’s total surface area.

More than 1 billion people live in 61 territories, accounting for about 15 percent of the world’s human population.

It has wild populations of large carnivores (lions, hyenas and cheetahs), herbivores (buffalo, elephants, camels and giraffes), “jungle” animals (snakes and primates) and aquatic life (crocodiles and amphibians).

Despite having abundant natural resources, Africa remains the world’s poorest and most underdeveloped continent.

DFM@< I<M@<N Ê@ddfikXcjË kliej >i\\b ^f[j `ekf jlg\i_\if\j 9p Af\c Dfii`j JkX]] ni`k\i Hollywood plays fast and loose with Greek mythology.

“Troy” condensed a 10-year war into a month, “Clash of the Titans” featured not a single Titan and “300” managed to take out all the Spartan man-love and still be homoerotic.

Now we have “Immortals,” which once again eschews historical accuracy to have a bunch of beautiful people run around with swords and sandals.

Mickey Rourke’s in it, too, so that’s pretty cool.

In the world of “Immortals,” King Hyperion (Rourke) seeks the Epirus Bow, a weapon of the gods to unleash the Titans, monstrous primordial beings.

Theseus (Henry Cavill) is then appointed by Zeus (Luke Evans) to oppose Hyperion.

As Hyperion and his legions lay waste to Greece, Theseus is left as the only man to stand in the way of the mad tyrant.

Director Tarsem Singh clearly wanted a modern take on the myths of old. The gods, rather than Greek, look like Western

European runway models, with the golden-haired Isabel Lucas standing out in particular.

The gods also have elaborate, symbolic costumes unfathomable back then, with Poseidon having an awesome fish-shaped headpiece adorned with seashells.

Further, the world Singh has created is both detailed and apocalyptic.

This isn’t just because of a massive army destroying everything in its path, but a general sense of sorrow, even amongst the gods.

The remaining six (of 12) gods have retreated to their marble palace above the clouds and taken a vow of noninterference, after having vanquished their greatest foes.

It’s reminiscent of the question “What will Superman do when he beats Lex Luthor?”

Speaking of Superman, Henry Cavill does a solid job as the film’s hero, and proves to a larger audience that he’s ready to be the Man of Steel next year.

Though, the real stars are Stephen Dorff as Theseus’ roguish sidekick, and Rourke knocking it out of the park as Hyperion, a twisted mirror of Theseus.

There is a surprisingly little amount of bloodshed in the first half of the film, but it’s used effectively; Hyperion’s “Witness Hell” act will haunt your dreams and deserves cinematic infamy on par with the Joker’s pencil trick.

The second half kicks up both the gore and the stylization when the gods become involved. The stylization is the real magic of the film.

On the surface, the movie is just a standard retelling of the Hero’s Journey, but the narrative is dense with twists like beautiful costumery, Christian imagery, and even nods to the Norse Ragnarok.

If you’re a fan of visual flair, “Immortals” is a must-see.

The one major flaw the film has is focusing too much on the lowly, mundane humans, rather than the epic scope of the gods.

“Immortals” is good as is, and if the director had been allowed to go wild it’d be unforgettable.

Gif[lZ\ gXkifc1 :fcc`\i [\glkp jkXikj Xe fi^Xe`Z ]ff[ ZfdgXep 9p IpXe Kff_\p :feki`Ylk`e^ ni`k\i When Collier County sheriff’s Deputy Craig Demange isn’t transporting criminals to jail, he is delivering organic produce to customers.

Demange, 35, founded his organic produce company, Organics of Naples, in 2010.

“I’m a middle-class person, too,” Demange said.

“It makes me feel good to be able to save families some money.”

He began with 20 customers in his first year of service with the intentions of providing customers an inexpensive option to buy healthy produce.

Since the company’s inception, Organics of Naples has gained 400 customers.

Demange has Groupon, a free website which provides daily deals with substantial savings on products, to thank for his clientele boost. He says the online service brought him approximately 200 customers in June, 100 of whom have become regulars.

Organics of Naples offers three options on its website for customers to choose from. They recommend the value box for a customer’s first purchase.

For $34.99, the value box contains 13 to 15 items and is best suited for a two- to four-person family.

Customers can also order the small box for $24.99. The small box contains 10 or

11 items and is best suited for one or two people.

For $44.99, customers can order the extra-value box, which contains 13 to 15 items. This box contains more of each item than the value box contains. This option is best suited for a family of four to six people.

Each box will contain a mix of fruits and vegetables, which Demange says he selects on a weekly basis. He bases his choices on what he feels adds the best diversity and value to the box.

“Every box will contain one or two expensive items each week,” Demange said.

Demange allows customers to substitute unwanted items for an item of their choice for a $1-per-item fee. He says if customers want to avoid the fee, they can choose to substitute an unwanted item for surplus items.

The advantages of his service are noticeable.

Demange said his produce costs 30 percent less than supermarket produce.

If this wasn’t enough to entice customers to try his product, Demange offers free delivery to all customers in Naples.

Demange said there is a $1 delivery fee for Marco Island, Bonita Springs and Estero residents. Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral residents will be charged a $2 delivery fee.

Organics of Naples currently delivers on Tuesday and Wednesday. Demange said he hopes to start delivering on Thursdays

in the near future.

There is a $20 sign-up fee for new customers. Demange says he will waive this fee for college students.

Even though this service requires a membership, customers are not required to order produce each week. Customers are able to order boxes weekly, bi-weekly or periodically.

Why should consumers eat organic?

Demange doesn’t want to consume non-organic produce due to the pesticides sprayed on many fruits and vegetables.

“Chemicals which are sprayed on foods can’t be good for you,” Demange said.

Fi^Xe`Z mj% efe$fi^Xe`Z “If you’re concerned about residues,” said Dr. Tim Durham, a university colloquium professor at Florida Gulf Coast University, “I would encourage you to wash (your produce) multiple times.”

Durham has a doctorate degree in plant medicine, which covers plant nutrition and food safety. He spends his time off during the summer working at his family’s farm in Long Island.

Foods have to follow strict guidelines to be labeled organic, Durham said. He says there are specific pesticides and fertilizers that qualify, which must be approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The resources used in these organic pesticides and fertilizers usually have to originate from plants or something sourced in nature, Durham said.

There are three classes of organic foods: 100 percent organic, 95 percent and 70 percent, Durham said. If a product is labeled 70 percent organic, Durham says it may only hold the USDA label “made with organic ingredients.”

Durham doesn’t usually eat organic produce. He says he sticks to whatever produce is the most affordable.

“One of the aspects of organics I do like is the fact that it attempts to reconnect people to where their food comes from,” he said. “There has been this long-term disconnect brewing for decades.”

Durham also says the localization that comes with organic farming is beneficial.

“My goal for Organics of Naples is to get it out there in Collier and Lee and to move it up the west coast,” Demange said.

For customers looking for a healthy Thanksgiving feast, Organics of Naples will be offering the Thanksgiving box.

This will include an all-natural turkey with assorted fruits and vegetables to complement it.

Readers interested in more information about the Thanksgiving Box or other information about Organics of Naples can view its website at organicsofnaples.com.

Durham recommends sourcing food locally for those who strive to eat healthier.

The organic vs. non-organic debate may go on, but in the meantime, Deputy Demange will do his best to cuff you to the best produce in Southwest Florida.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16 EAGLE NEWS A/L B3

Livin’ in a procrastination nation 9p :Xifc JZ_e\`[\i JkX]] ni`k\i When listing facts about college life, many students mentioned that in college we tend to: Schedule classes around nightlife, we learn that the later the class the better, napping becomes essential between classes, microwaved food is necessary, cereal can make a meal, email becomes your second language, getting packages is a reason for excitement, skipping class is no longer a big deal, finding a spot in the library equals winning and studying all night turns to be completely common.

Some of these “college rules” may not apply to everyone, but one fact that several students seem to identify and agree with is that procrastination becomes an art.

A majority of students tend to procrastinate when having to do work for classes. The act of intentionally putting off the doing of something that should be done or delaying or deferring an action to a later time sounds familiar and habitual to many of us.

But why is procrastination such a common happening?

We tend to put off important tasks either because they might seem too hard to complete, time-

consuming, because we feel like we need to be “in the mood” to actually sit and get it done, or because we think we are lazy. We know we are going to do it eventually, but it is easier to leave the task at hand for the last minute.

CONFESSIONS FROM PROCRASTINATORS “I wait till the night before to get things done. Why do it now when you can get it done later?” said Michael Danis, a sophomore majoring in nursing.

“I kept postponing to write an essay and forgot to do it. I ended up writing it 45 minutes before it was due, printed and got a C on it. Not worth the procrastination,” said Amanda Smith, a senior majoring in communication.

“It (procrastination) is not an efficient method because by waiting until the last minute, you put a lot of stress on yourself,” said Mercedes Zambrano, a sophomore majoring in chemistry.

“I deal with being a procrastinator by spending many hours in the library the night before something is due and trying not to get distracted by Facebook or Twitter. People should avoid procrastinating because the work

piles up faster than you think,” said Kyle Ostroff, a senior majoring in sports management.

“I believe that students in college procrastinate so much because there are too many distractions and better things to do such as eating and drinking. I study for tests and work on a project the night before it is due, I stay up all night with cheese sticks and Mountain Dew and get it done,” said Cody Lo, a junior majoring in theatre.

“The worst deadline I procrastinated for was a Composition II paper that I wrote the morning of and still managed to get a B plus on it,” a Connor Ramage, a sophomore majoring in business management.

“I know I am a procrastinator because I tend to always wait until the last few hours before a homework (assignment) is due to start working on it, even though I had plenty of time to do it days before,” said Tommy Twyford, a sophomore majoring in environmental engineering.

“Why is procrastination like masturbation? Because it sounds like a good idea at the time, but in the end you are just screwing yourself,” Twyford said Every student is affected by procrastination but in different degrees.

Some might get done with

important homework and papers way ahead of time, but tend to procrastinate on less important tasks.

Others — the majority — leave not only the less important, but also the important and extremely important tasks all for the last second possible.

The extreme procrastinators usually miss their deadlines to submit an essay or a project, and study for a test 10 minutes before taking it.

Whatever your case is, try to remember that if you have two weeks to complete an assignment or to write a paper, it is much better to get it over with than to stress out about it the day before is due.

It is easy to say it and hard to actually do it, but a good way to avoid procrastination is to reserve a time of the day to sit in the library and do school work -– without breaks to check your Facebook.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that many people actually enjoy the act of procrastinating because they work much better under pressure -– very common to many students.

In this case, just make sure that the day before a deadline is enough time to get something done, because it might take a lot more time than you think.

Bernard, who goes by the pseudonym “Abscent,” is a senior communication major who has beatboxed for 13 years.

“I can honestly say that beatboxing goes far beyond just making noises with the mouth. For me, beatboxing describes one’s character,” he said. “Every person who beatboxes does it differently, and it’s because of that difference in style and artistry that makes it so interesting.”

Beatboxing is the process of creating beats using only your vocal cords and mouth. Bernard began when he was 9 years old after he imitated his brother’s beatboxing.

His impetus for what he considers an art was 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.”

He says that the skills needed for beatboxing are a sense of rhythm and a love for music. You build from a simple kick sound and add clap, hihat, and snare sounds, he says.

Beatboxing can be applied professionally in A Capella groups, Djing or even beatboxing to other music you have created. Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Rahzel and Biz Markie are popular names in the beatboxing world.

Bernard looks up to some of these artists, as well as Ludacris, Twista, LMFAO, Michael Jackson

and Usher.

“Without these influences, I wouldn’t really know what my beatboxing would be like,” Bernard said.

“Over the course of my years of beatboxing, each artist adds a different flavor to how I interpret

music and the sound that I produce,” he said.

Bernard says he creates a new beat by mimicking the beat of a song.

He then replicates the melodies with his voice.

He has covered the Super Mario Brothers theme song, Usher’s “DJ

Got us Fallin In Love,” and Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” He also creates his own beats and freestyles to existing songs.

“For me, a song is never truly finished unless it has my personal touch added to it. Beatboxing to music makes you want to dance and be yourself,” Bernard said. “It’s transformed my love for music and shaped who I am today.”

Bernard’s “personal touch” includes techno, dubstep, house and freestyle genres. He has covered electronic songs such as Dev’s “Dancing the Dark” and LIGHTS’ “My Boots.”

Bernard has found success on Youtube. He uploads his beats onto his account and says all feedback is positive — even if it’s negative.

“I have received positive responses. The majority, however, consistently think it’s fake and believe music is playing in the background,” he said.

“I take these comments as compliments.”

Bernard has performed at FGCU open mic nights in addition to beatboxing in and around his dorm.

His ultimate goal, however, is to audition for “America’s Got Talent” in order to make a name for himself.

“My inspiration to beatbox stems from my family. When I was younger, music was always around me. I love to dance and sing. Beatboxing just became a second nature along with the movements and melodies of the music,” he said.

Bernard made it clear, though, if he doesn’t get to “America’s Got Talent,” the love for the craft will keep him upbeat.

I’ve decided to nominate the 42nd president of the United States, not to mention the most active former president of the past three decades, William J. Clinton.

As president, he kept unemployment and inflation low, he increased the national minimum wage and he signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which hired 100,000 policemen and instituted harsher punishments for a variety of crimes.

All together, his economic policies created 22 million jobs, and by proposing a balanced budget, he achieved budget surplus.

With these accomplishments, it should be no surprise that no other president has left office with higher approval ratings than Bill Clinton, with 66 percent.

Since leaving office in 2001, the former governor of Arkansas and the first Democrat since FDR to be elected president for a second term has been very busy in his role as a humanitarian with the foundation named after him.

Now, in his new book, “Back To Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy,” he tackles the issues we face as a country that our politicians in Congress are fighting over every single day on how to move America in the right direction.

From the title of the book, Clinton clearly shares my philosophy that government needs to work with the American people to regain the economic stability we once had, and he says we must agree to make investments in green energy and infrastructure improvements.

He also advocates reforming the tax code, cutting some corporate taxes and giving businesses greater incentives to hire, which President Obama is advocating with the American Jobs Act. In an interview with USA Today on Nov. 7, Clinton points out that both parties have gotten it wrong when it comes to governing: “People — they don’t want too much government, but they want enough. If they think the government is giving them too much, they’ll vote for the Republicans to get a little less. They looked at the stimulus and the financial rescue and the auto bailout and all that stuff that happened and they said: A little too much: we want a little less,” he said.

The flip side of Clinton’s argument is that when you have government of the small size that conservatives such as the anti-tax lobbyist Grover Norquist desires, you find cuts in jobs that really represent the middle class of our country — teachers, police, firefighters, social services, public health, etc., which leads to unemployment and the difficulty of trying to find another.

That frustration often makes people stop looking for work altogether.

EN K8CB 98:B PFLI MF@:< FE K?< N<9

But Clinton also points the finger at the many patriotic Americans that can be found at the Occupy Wall Street protests with some constructive criticism on how to get their message out successfully.

He suggests that politicians be invited down to the protests to talk to the demonstrators to find out what they stand for so changes can be made to benefit the 99 percent of this country.

I would recommend members of the progressive caucus of Congress such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California to go down and talk with the protesters and march with them, since they have already been very vocal in their support of this international movement.

I also would like to see presidential candidates Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman attend these events and talk to the protesters to see what they are all about, since they do support their right to protest.

Sadly, most Republicans would rather write the protesters off entirely as anticapitalist, mobs or uneducated, without remembering The First Amendment or even listening to the message of the protesters on Occupy The protesters represent those who Kid Rock sings about in his latest song, “Care.”

The American people hear screaming on the left, yelling on the right, and they are sitting in the middle trying to live their life without trying to hate anyone.

As I read Clinton’s book this past weekend, I discovered that the problems in the last decade stemmed from less action taken regarding domestic issues compared to The Clinton Administration in the 1990s.

Another one of the problems was the tax breaks given to wealthy Americans under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush in the hopes that they alone would put people back to work.

Finally, the consequences of allowing our economic system to have no regulations on both Wall Street and the banks led to the financial meltdown and the bailout of Wall Street in 2008.

It is time for both the politicians and the public to end the conflict and partisan bickering and take Bill Clinton’s advice for the sake of those in the middle before we all become cynics, conformists, and give up on the idea of democracy and a just society.

I read the letter from Rick Scott to you and I with much tribulation.

He writes that “education offers many benefits,” yet he never once talks about who will educate all of these STEM workers he says that Florida will need.

How will these workers learn to read, learn to write, learn to think out of the box and propel innovation forward and provide more people with the opportunity to work and make a better life for themselves?

He starts his article by saying he used to ask if you and I would look for a job that used our degrees and went on to say, “Will your major prepare you for that job?”

Mr. Scott, I am going to be a teacher. A far from lucrative position in which I will be stressed, abused, thought of as a mere joke looking for constant summer vacation.

Will my education prepare me for that? I believe it will alert me to these things, but only experience will really prepare me.

Will you support my endeavor?

That’s what I highly doubt.

You stand behind your podium and “teach” mock classes set up to make you look good in Immokalee for the cameras ... to tell me that I am nothing.

My chosen profession can be so easily swept under the bureaucratic rug and you can place emphasis on what YOU deem as intrinsic values in our adult lives.

I am no college newcomer.

I have worked in your STEM workforce. I have hired warm bodies with little to no education and watched them struggle to perform menial tasks because they came at a cost-effective wage, and I could go home at night.

I see what a reduced focus on other important skills does to the young people in the world.

They are the unemployed, they are the ones suffering, they are the ones you accuse of being a plight on society. I must admit, that I thought I could get by in my life with just a high school diploma.

I knew how to read, basic math, and knew some science. Only after coming back to school to expand on my own knowledge did I realize how much bull I bought into from people like you, from affluent individuals who felt I should stay a worker bee while they reaped the benefits of my hard work.

Education, a core value you have excluded from your STEM baloney, is the ROOT of the mission.

You can not continue to underfund and de-fund programs that teach English, critical thinking and the arts.

There is more to life than crunching numbers and making a stable structure. Numbers and architecture can be beautiful.

They should be, but if you take away the ability for someone to see them that way, you have doomed us all to a vision of dull mediocrity in our own lives.

I can’t believe that you and the people you surround yourself have placed such low expectations on us all.

You have discounted the concerto that a student may one day write, that utilizes mathematical formulas to keep a beat.

You have discounted the great novel that will one day be written because you think that grammatical skills aren’t necessary to invent technology.

You have not only let all of us college students down, you have exposed yourself for what you really are: a rich, power hungry, short-sighted man with no real love of the population you serve.

You really just want to control us.

Organizer Kristen Christian used Facebook not only to promote Saturday, Nov. 5 as Bank Transfer Day, but also to let the more 60,600 people who “like” the page know while the movement “acknowledges the enthusiasm from Occupy Wall Street,” it declines to endorse it.

Even though the two forms of protest might not be associated,

they were born from the same sense of frustration and willingness to take action against big banks like Bank of America.

Since the highly contested, and then reversed, policy announcement on Sept. 29, by Bank of America that debit card users would be charged a $5-a-month fee, the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) estimates 650,000 new credit union members have been added.

New accounts are flooding in at an average of 20,000 new members each business day.

According to a CUNA press release issued Nov. 8 , more than 40,000 of those new accounts were

opened on Bank Transfer Day, which accounted for approximately $80 million in savings deposits on that day alone.

On a local level, Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union reported a 92 percent increase in new members during the month of October as compared to the same month last year.

Thanks in part to high-profile movements such as Occupy Wall Street and Bank Transfer Day,

people are beginning to take a better look at where they put their money.

But if you were one of those who moved your money from Bank of America to a credit union over the past six weeks, don’t think they, or any other of the so-called big banks, are shedding any tears at your departure.

Low-balance bank accounts cost more money for the banks to maintain. In some ways, closing your account might have done them a favor.

In my experience with credit unions, a customer is not simply an account, but rather a member.

When you bank with a credit

union, your money helps grow the local economy.

Big banks might try to persuade you into believing their services are better or more convenient, but only you can decide if the fees they charge are worth it for your needs.

After all, in a recent survey by J. D. Power and Associates, Bank of America ranked lowest in customer satisfaction.

Why would anyone want to pay more for less?

JkXZb\[ jn`dd`e^ [`m`e^ Y\kk\i k_Xe \m\i 9p DXel\c EXmXiif :feki`Ylk`e^ ni`k\i The FGCU swimming and diving team is off to a quick 5-1 start, winning its last three meets.

FGCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s margin of victory in its five wins is an astounding average of 43 points.

Eagles coach Neal Studd attributes the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success to hard work, great team spirit and good recruiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like we get better and better every year,â&#x20AC;? Studd said.

FGCU is led by some starstudded freshmen recruits this year. Emma Svensson of Sweden has been Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association swimmer of the week twice so far this year and Cassie Niles (Helotes, Texas) has been very strong in the freestyle.

Studd looks to now have Devon Robbins (London, UK) in the water after finally being cleared by the NCAA Clearing House. These freshmen will continue to have a big impact at FGCU this year and beyond.

This weekend, the Eagles will

be traveling to Atlanta for the Georgia Tech Invitational. Teams from the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences and other leagues across the nation will be there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the second-most important meet of year behind the conference and postseason meets,â&#x20AC;? Studd said.

The team has high expectations this weekend, and so does Studd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to put in some great times and take down some ACC powers like Clemson and Virginia while we are there,â&#x20AC;? Studd said.

It has been two weeks since FGCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last meet in Boston, when the Eagles beat Boston College and Maine in convincing fashion.

The Eagles have hit the pools hard working on the little things to make themselves better going into the Georgia Tech Invite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team is working on our fine details and technical details like our starts, turns, and finishes,â&#x20AC;? Studd said.

Senior Danielle Butler anticipates the Georgia Tech Invite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is business as usual right now, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking as soon as

we get there, the excitement will kick in.â&#x20AC;?

It will be FGCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last meet until January, when the Eagles begin to host teams at the FGCU Aquatic Center.

FGCU looks to carry momentum and confidence from the Georgia Tech Invite to January and hopefully onto the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Conference Championships in February.

FGCU is the three-time defending champion in the CCSA championships.

FGCU has risen to the top of their conference rather quickly. After sitting out postseason play for four years due to a reclassification to Division I athletics, the Eagles are tournament bound in their first season of eligibility.

It is a testament to the program that Butehorn has built from the ground up, a program that emphasizes team over the individual.

Senior goalkeeper Adam Glick can buy into the team concept better than anybody.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader in saves, shutouts and anything else a goalie can record stats in, has had to stand by and watch after a knee injury forced him to the sidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best feeling in the world,â&#x20AC;? Glick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we know the magnitude. We understand. It is business as usual, and that keeps the edge.

Everyone is really focused.â&#x20AC;?

After initially being ruled out for the season, there is a chance Glick can return for the NCAA tournament. He will be a

game-time decision.

In the meantime, the Eagles are preparing for the biggest game of their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Glick will play. We will take it day-byday,â&#x20AC;? Butehorn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nathan (Ingham) has played well. It is a nice luxury to have.â&#x20AC;?

FGCU will have its work cut out no matter who is in goal.

If they get by UCF, they will travel to Tampa on Nov. 20 for a rematch against South Florida.

The Bulls are the overall No. 7 seed in the tournament, and defeated the Eagles at the FGCU Soccer Complex on Oct. 4.

With the long road ahead, it is understandable that there is no time for reflection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not one single moment that stands out in time over any others. We laugh and joke and talk about the hills and obstacles, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;?

Butehorn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have gone about building the program and foundation the right way. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anything affect our vision and dream, and we know we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get where we are going by taking shortcuts.â&#x20AC;?

J\Xjfe$fg\e`e^ jlZZ\jj `j jeXgg\[ 9p Aljk`e BXe\ 8jj`jkXek jgfikj \[`kfi After winning three consecutive season openers, the FGCU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team dropped this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game of the 2011-12 season Nov. 11 on the road to Big East foe Seton Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to give Seton Hall credit,â&#x20AC;? FGCU coach Karl Smesko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really defended us well, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute as well as we would have liked.â&#x20AC;?

This is just the third time in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history that the Eagles were defeated in the season opener. The last time came at the start of the 2007 season, when the Eagles lost to Florida State.

This is also the first time since 2003 that the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team did not open its season at Alico Arena.

After the weekend, the Eagles traveled to Florida International to face off against the Golden Panthers on Monday. FGCU shot 43 percent from the field and defeated FIU 80-72.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took some things from the first game and actually played better because of the mistakes we fixed from the first game,â&#x20AC;? Smesko said.

Senior Nicoya Jackson scored a career-high 29 points, including six three-pointers, to lead FGCU in scoring in the win.

Because of her performance in that game, she earned A-Sun Player of the Week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game was really intense,â&#x20AC;?

Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew we had to go out there and we really needed a win because we started off kind of rough. So I just came out thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need this win,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so I just went all out.â&#x20AC;?

Jackson went 10-for-19 from the field, 6-14 from behind the arc and made 3 of 5 free throws in 35 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Jackson) somebody that can create offense by not only knocking down shots, but she can also penetrate and move the ball and create shots for other people,â&#x20AC;?

Smesko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to a great start and hopefully sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue

to play at this level.â&#x20AC;?

FGCU will have the week off before its big showdown with the 2010 Big Ten champion, Michigan State, at home on Nov. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (Michigan State) huge, fast, strong and very talented,â&#x20AC;?

Smesko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot and we shoot the ball exceptionally well we have a chance to stay in the game.â&#x20AC;?

Michigan State dropped their first game to non-conference foe Villanova and dropped out of the top 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little surprised that they dropped their first game, but they bounced back well in their second game,â&#x20AC;? Smesko said.

The Michigan State game is the first of four consecutive home games that includes Richmond, Webber International and then A-Sun foe ETSU. In its next seven games, six are at home, the lone away game being against Central Florida Dec. 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At home we get a lot of support and a lot of fans, so it makes us feel comfortable and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help our confidence,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said.

With a 10-3 record in the A-Sun this season, after beating both UNF and Jacksonville last weekend, the Eagles will be making their second trip to the A-Sun tournament, as the No. 3 seed.

FGCU will face No. 6 UNF in the first round at 5 p.m. Thursday in Nashville.

This will be the third time the two teams have met this

season. The Eagles own a 2-0 advantage over UNF, including last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 victory. The winner will move on to face No. 2 Lipscomb â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the defending A-Sun champ â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the semifinal game Friday.

Senior outside hitter Jelena Simic is looking forward to playing UNF yet again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for us that we already beat them, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be easier for us to play them again on Thursday and get an easy win hopefully,â&#x20AC;? Simic said.

Freshmen outside hitter Jill Hopper agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared,â&#x20AC;?

Hopper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played them twice already, so we kind of know

how they work, and they also know how we work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a scrappy game, a lot of hustle.

I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a fight until the end.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always hard to beat a team three consecutive times. Simic hopes focus isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to stay focused and not go down there and be like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We already beat them,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Simic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have to play hard against them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough, and they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up and give us an easy win.â&#x20AC;?

Inconsistency has plagued FGCU all year. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won a lot of games on guts and competitiveness, and senior libero Holly Youngquist knows

that might not be enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be consistent,â&#x20AC;?

Youngquist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times, we have like four or five streaks where we just give up a bunch of points. We need to stay on it. If they (UNF) get a side out we need to come back and play the next point like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down.â&#x20AC;?

Though his team has handled UNF twice already, FGCU coach Dave Nichols says they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played well doing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we played them particularly well at their place on Friday,â&#x20AC;? Nichols said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that if we sharpen up our game and are more consistent we should handle the situation a lot better.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it. I think

actually we can play much better than we played. I think we can make it a much easier match.â&#x20AC;?

Back in 2009, the Eagles made it all the way to the A-Sun Championship game, losing to Lipscomb in three sets. This time, the Eagles hope to win and move on to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well it would mean a lot to us (making the NCAA tournament) considering we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even make it to the (A-Sun) tournament last year,â&#x20AC;? Youngquist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to win the (A-Sun) finals and go to the NCAA Tournament, which would be incredible, especially for a lot of us who have been here for a long time.â&#x20AC;?

The competition featured schools from throughout the state, including the University of Central Florida and Miami.

UCF won the tournament.

The tournament consisted of 10 teams, two pools of five, with

the top three teams from each pool eventually playing in a singleelimination playoff.

Club president Robert Ritchie welcomed having big- name schools travel to FGCU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of the tournament was to serve as a fundraiser for the club team,â&#x20AC;?

Ritchie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also wanted to get some good play in.â&#x20AC;?

The tournament served as the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last exhibition before the start of the regular season.

Ritchie says competing against high-profile schools carries larger significance as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty big to have these schools here,â&#x20AC;? Ritchie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to grow the sport of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball here, and the more that these schools come here the more we can get the name. Students see big-name schools here and it makes volleyball exciting.â&#x20AC;?

Ritchie looks for high school volleyball talent to flock to FGCU to play for the club.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not one school in Florida with a varsity menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team, so we figure the bigger club volleyball gets, the more kids out of high school will want to come here and continue to play volleyball at a high level.â&#x20AC;?

The process of organizing the tournament, from reserving the gym to inviting all of the schools, was rigorous and began in September.

One of the visitors to FGCU was UCFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Szikney.

Szikney said he enjoyed traveling to FGCU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt great to be playing here and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great experience,â&#x20AC;?

Szikney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volleyball is not really a popular sport, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more popular in Florida.â&#x20AC;?

Volleyball

The FGCU volleyball team landed three student athletes on the All-Conference teams, announced by the league office Tuesday. Freshman Jill Hopper was tabbed as the Freshman of the Year.

Senior Holly Youngquist joined Hopper on the AllConference second team.

Freshman setter Gigi Meyer joined Hopper on the league’s All-Freshmen team.

Women’s basketball

After taking off his sport coat, Andy Enfield jumped out of his seat and berated freshman guard Dante Holmes for a poor closeout.

Later, freshman guard Brett Comer dribbled up court, faked a pass, found space and dashed around two defenders before crashing into an upright Gyrene for a charge.

In between, a rocking student section (part of the more than 1,500 fans in Alico Arena) belted out “Andy Enfield” chants, as two fans carried giant cutouts of the first year coach’s face.

In its first home game under Enfield, the new-look FGCU (1-1) men’s basketball team beat Ave Maria 79-64 on Monday in a high energy, sloppy affair befitting an Eagles squad that turned over half its roster from last year.

Enfield started three freshmen Monday, using a different starting lineup than the one employed in Friday’s season-opening 7372 loss at TCU, with four first-year players receiving significant playing time.

At TCU, FGCU battled back from 16 points down to cut the lead to two late in the fourth quarter before falling.

No FGCU player saw game action for more than 30 minutes Monday, as Enfield tinkers with his lineup, trying to find the right combinations on a deep roster.

The youth and newness of it all showed, as the Eagles suffered 19 turnovers (an upgrade from the 29 miscues against TCU) and often gave up penetration and uncontested three three-pointers to the NAIA Gyrenes.

A 27-10 run to start the second half (FGCU shot 69.2 percent after intermission) bailed out FGCU. “I didn’t think any one of our players played a great game,” Enfield said. “I thought a lot of guys played OK, but not up to their potential.

We did share the basketball and took open shots. But other times we forced things and we were a little too anxious. We have to learn what is a good shot and what isn’t.”

Bernard Thompson, another freshman starter who has scored 12.5 points per game while playing the second-most minutes on the Eagles, wants FGCU to get the big men involved and communicate better.

“We’re still trying to find our chemistry and identity,” Thompson said. “We know each other, but on the court it’s hard to get a feel for everybody.

“We need to get Kevin Cantinol (senior center who had two shot attempts Monday night) involved and we need to talk more. But we’re getting better and working.”

After playing a team-high 31 minutes Friday, Cantinol saw 19 minutes of game time Monday.

Enfield promises to avoid using a set rotation, instead employing fresh bodies and milking the hot hand.

“We share minutes on this team,” Enfield said. “No one is going to play 40 minutes. We have no set rotation where one player plays set minutes before coming out. You have to have a feel. If they’re playing well, you leave them in longer. If they’re not playing well, you take them out and tell them what they’re doing wrong.”

Comer, FGCU’s starting point guard and leader in scoring and assists, and junior shooting guard Sherwood Brown (teamhigh 19 points off the bench on Monday) have shined early.

Brown sees progress, but expects it to be gradual.

“We’re not all the way there yet, but we’re getting better quite fast,” Brown said. “By the time conference play comes we will be a team to be reckoned with.”

Until then, FGCU hosts Prairie View A&M at 7:05 p.m. Thursday.

Florida Gulf Coast University women’s basketball coach Karl Smesko has announced the signings of three student athletes to national letters of intent.

DyTiesha Dunson (Albany, Ga./Westover HS), Jamie Gluesing (Greendale, Wis./Solon HS) and Bethany Murrell (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine HS) will join the Eagle program for the 2012-13 academic year.

by Alabama, redshirt sophomore Gilbert Chemaoi and classmate Argeo Cruz represented the FGCU men’s team for the first time. Setting a new program record time at the 10K event.

Chemaoi came across the finish line at the 33:01.7 mark to take 55th in the field of 159 runners.

Cruz recorded a time of 33:34.3 on Saturday to place 83rd overall.

?`jkfi`Z j\Xjfe \e[j `e kfl^_ cfjj kf L= 9p D`b\ I`ZZ` :f$DXeX^`e^ \[`kfi The FGCU women’s soccer team capped off its historic season with a 3-0 loss to the University of Florida in the first round of the NCAA Division I tournament on Saturday.

The Gators scored 16 minutes into the game and carried the 1-0 lead into the half. They scored two additional goals late in the second half.

“We were in it for a long time,” Blankenship said. “I thought we played well and I thought we played with a lot of energy. It was 1-0 with like 20 minutes left. I think the difference is we gave up three goals off of set pieces (free kicks and corners). They were good goals and they capitalized on

their opportunities.”

The game was the first NCAA tournament game for any team in FGCU history. The FGCU women’s soccer team made it to the tournament in its first year of post-season eligibility by winning the Atlantic Sun tournament.

“Our team chemistry built up really well and winning the tournament was probably the best moment for this season,” said Shannen Wacker, freshman forward, who scored the gamewinning goal in double overtime in the A-Sun tournament final.

The team is losing eight seniors to graduation at the end of this year.

Ashley Ciecielczyk, a senior defender who led FGCU in assists this season, reflects on the impact of the outgoing class.

“There’s not a better feeling than going out and making history,” Ciecielczyk said.

“Knowing that the seniors careers are most likely over, and leaving the footprint that we did for FGCU athletics. It’s unbelievable what’s happened the last five years.”

Blankenship appreciates the seniors’ efforts.

“Those guys (seniors) have been amazing for our program with everything they’ve done for us,” Blankenship said. “I’m so proud of them.”

FGCU will have to find a way to replace the exiting seniors if they expect to repeat as Atlantic Sun champions.

“We’ve all watched and learned and hopefully we can fill their shoes (seniors),” Wacker said. “It’s going to be a rebuilding season,

but we are bringing in a bunch of people and hopefully we’ll be back up there again next year.”

Ciecielczyk hopes the young players learned from the seniors, and carry on the momentum.

“Hopefully we got the young girls excited to build on what we’ve accomplished,” Ciecielczyk said. “We lost a lot of seniors last year and my class had to step up and carry it. I know the younger players can do the same.”

Blankenship is confident the team will not miss a beat when the season starts up again next year.

“We’ve only been around for five years,” Blankenship said. “We will continue to work hard and recruit and we’ll only grow from this and we’ll get better. This is just the tip of the iceberg for our program.”
