The Lonely Land of Lost Data Barbara Chearney Information Technology

Students, we’ve all been there: that sad, lonely land of Lost Data…located somewhere North of My Computer Crashed and East of The File Was Here! Luckily, I have some tips to help guide you toward backing up your data, and away from that solemn place of abandonment. Before you select a data backup option, it’s important to consider a few points: the size of the files, your financial resources,
your needs for accessing the files and how sensitive your information is. You may also want to ask yourself, “do I really need all of this data?” Sometimes backup time can also be a good clean-out time. USB Flash Drive – Recently, a 1 TB flash drive was unveiled, although most people will have enough storage with 16 GB. Most new flash drives have built-in security tools to protect data if your drive is lost or stolen, but you can go online and encrypt a drive you already have
with tools like TrueCrypt or BitLocker To Go. USB External Hard Drive –This is an actual hard drive just like the one that operates within your computer, but it plugs into the outside of your computer (or another computer). The size of an external hard drive can match or exceed your computer’s hard drive. Most people use externals to back up larger amounts of data than they do with flash drives and select storage capacities from 500 GB – 4 TB. Be Continued on A02 >>

As you find out which companies are attending, you should narrow down the options and develop your own targeted company list. These companies should be the ones you are definitely seeking out at the Expo (although you should visit with other companies). Be knowledgeable about basic company information: With your targeted list, you need to gather details about the companies. Find out what they do, what products they make/develop/impact, who their competitors are, where they are growing, their locations, what jobs are available and more. Most importantly, be prepared to answer, “Why are you interested in [Company Name]?”, which shows the company you did your homework and put some thought into matching your goals to the company. And when you find jobs of interest, apply to them before the Expo. Be knowledgeable of your strengths and value to a company: Although there are qualities and skills that any company values, you need to understand what your strengths are and how you might add value to a company. In addition, know how you are going to present this information to the companies. If you applied for positions ahead of time, be ready to discuss your strengths as matched to the jobs. Be knowledgeable of what you want to communicate to the companies: Prepare and practice what you plan to say to the companies. Know how you are going to introduce yourself and have your
30-second pitch ready to use. In addition, have questions to ask, questions developed specifically for those companies that show your interest in the organization. Be knowledgeable of where and how you might fit into the company: This step is much harder. Therfore you need to understand, as best as possible, where you fit into the company. A company values a candidate who can come up to them and share where or how they might fit into the organization instead of asking a question such as, “Do you have any jobs in X field?” Be knowledgeable on how to portray a positive attitude, enthusiasm and
professionalism: There are certain characteristics that companies tell us over and over again that they want to see in candidates: a great attitude, enthusiasm and passion for the company/position/ industry and professionalism. Hands-down, you should integrate all three of these approaches into your Expo repertoire. Be knowledgeable that extra effort can pay off: Although all of the above points are important, know that it can be the few extra steps you take that make the best impressions. Dressing in your absolute most professional attire is imperative and required to
enter the Industry/Career Expo. Customizing your resume for a specific company is a great approach to differentiating yourself from other candidates. Following up with a thank you email or note can leave a great impression. Be knowledgeable of what goes into the Industry/Career Expo: The Industry/Career Expo is a major University event that showcases our students and alumni as well as our entire community to our employer partners. The Career Services team manages all things related to the Expo, from the planning stages to the day of the exhibition. Career Services typically sends out more than 15,000 invitations to companies from many industries, as we did this year. In addition, we collaborate with faculty and students throughout the year in soliciting company attendees and for Expo participation. The planning process leads up to a group of companies who are on campus to build their presence and to connect with great Embry-Riddle job seekers. If you don’t see a company at the Expo, it doesen’t mean they do not participate. All in all, the Expo is one of the many recruiting events Career Services provides to you, so take advantage of this great opportunity. The Industry/Career Expo is your chance to make a lasting impression with a company, network with alumni, and begin your journey. Like anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. Take this opportunity to develop your aviation/aerospace career that will last thousands of miles!
manage content, while increasing an opportunity for collaboration within Blackboard. The content system provides 200 MB of online storage, which is separate from any personal network drive space. Cloud Systems – Cloud services can be extremely effective methods of storing and backing up data. Cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive or Copy backs up data remotely and makes it available via a network, usually the Internet. Because access to data stored “in the cloud” relies on the Internet, you should always keep a backup copy of critical files that you need handy in case your
network connection is unavailable. Cloud backup services like Carbonite or CrashPlan offer full, automated, daily, offsite data backup. CrashPlan allows you to back up to the cloud and to another computer, such as a family member’s, if you wish. CDs and DVDs – Nowadays these devices may feel like a blast from the past, but they usually hold up to 700MB (CDs) or 4.5GB (DVDs) of data. And since recordable discs are inexpensive, they’re actually a cheap way to back up data. They are also great for archiving data that you don’t to refer to very often, but can keep in a safe place
away from scratches and sun. The best way to stay on the path to document safety – and out of the land of Lost Data – is to back up your files in multiple locations. The more vigilant you are in your backup habits, the better. The tools in this article are just a snapshot of ideas and opinions aimed at helping students.

President Speaker Series Presents Deb Cheslow Himani Parekh Guest Reporter “One minute.” Marc Bernier adjusts the objects on the little coffee table and paces a few steps in front of the two leather armchairs set up in the front of the Willie Miller Auditorium. Behind him, seated in one of the chairs, is Monday night’s speaker in the President’s Speaker Series, Deb Cheslow, speaking on her latest book, Remarkable Courage: A Systematic Strategy for Success. Minute zero and the camera is rolling; the event is being broadcast on television, as well as radio and online streaming. Mr. Bernier begins with the question of whether Deb Cheslow always knew exactly what she wanted to do, to which Cheslow answers that she had always been a go-getter. From there, questions range from referenc-
ing specific points in the book to personal stories. She talks about seeking the motivation behind her work, her desire for success, and her need to share that ability with others. The audience finds out many personal stories about Cheslow. She experienced a divorce with her first husband. She suffered an extended period of deep depression. She loves her children dearly and knows now that despite her attempts to shelter them, they could sense her moods more than she knew at the time. Cheslow claims that pulling out of that spiral made her realize how she pursued success and that it was something worth sharing. “I lived it,” she says. “Why not share that system?” Her book is based on stories such as these that helped her build up her strategy. As a woman in the
male dominated field of aviation (Cheslow is an Aerospace Engineer who has also worked as a navy test pilot), Cheslow also spoke on the topic of the so-called “Glass Ceiling.” After all, being a part of the minority is no easy task, right? Cheslow’s response as to its existence was “it is for the people that want it to be there. I just focused on what I wanted.” Cheslow managed to balance being a mother and pursuing a successful career as a business woman and author. Following Cheslow’s interview, a question and answer session took place where the audience had the chance to ask questions and receive more valuable advice. In the end, Cheslow left Embry-Riddle with these final messages: be persistent, accept disappointment as part of the process and don’t be afraid to dream big.
Honors Program Highlights Haiti Lyndsay Hurilla Guest Reporter On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the second Feed Your Head event of the semester was held in the IC Auditorium. This event featured a group of seven students, lead by Dr. Marc Compere, who talked about their recent work in Haiti. Bjorg Olafs, Shavin Pinto, Yung Wong, Allan Graham, Nick Barsotti, Kyle Fennasy and Gloria King took turns explaining different parts of the project and the effects it has had so far. This is the fourth trip of its kind to Haiti with the goal of installing solar powered water purification systems to provide the people with clean water. During this trip, the group partnered with the Ryan Epps Home for Chil-
dren, a local orphanage and school that opened its doors after the devastating earthquake in 2010 in order to install the system and educate the public about its operation and benefits. The purification system they installed was designed and built by Embry-Riddle students with three-step filtration and a back-flush system to ensure the cleanest water possible. Furthermore, by installing the solar panels that power the system, they eliminated the cost of nonrenewable fuels for the Ryan Epps Home for Children. The team not only installed the purification system, but they educated the public on the importance of clean water as well. They went into the local school and taught the children the dangers
of playing in and drinking unsanitary water from the stream. The Children learned about bacteria and how to combat them. Moreover, they taught a group of locals how to operate the system so they can be almost completely self-sufficient. That knowledge, along with the business skills they were also taught, will allow the community to become healthier and more prosperous. Ultimately, the efforts of the students, Dr. Compere and their partners have reduced the cost of clean water in this village from $5 per gallon to a mere $0.15 per gallon and created three local jobs in the process. More information on the project and how to get involved can be found by contacting Dr. Compere at marc.compere@erau.edu.
Shaian D’Costa/Guest Photographer On Monday, Sept. 23, The President Speaker Series featured business woman and author Deb Cheslow. Her latest book, Remarkable Courage: A Systematic Strategy for Success was realeased earlier this year and offers readers tips for achieving success. During the event, Cheslow discussed her personal life story and how her experiences have led her to the success she has today, sharing her message of persistance and courage along the way. After the interview, Cheslow took questions from the audience, completing her lecture and claiming her spot on a long list of successful speakers in the series.

Introducing Representative Ball Vincent Ramsey SGA Vice President I personally would like to welcome three new representatives to the Student Representative Board for this semester. Kyle Ludwick was elected through the SRB vacancy process as College of Business representative. Braxton Woodward was admitted into the SRB for the second time as a College of Engineering Representative, and featured in the photo is Keith Ball, representing the College of Arts and Sciences. I will be featuring each one of these new members throughout the semester as they begin to get involved and begin their journey with the Student Government Association. For this week I will be featuring Mr. Ball, a senior Homeland Security major who was an active member at large for the SGA this past year. Keith has shown a real dedication to wanting to help the students on our campus and figure out the most effective ways of doing things. As a Navy veteran, Keith learned
valuable lessons of leadership and hard work, both of which he has carried into his newly elected position. As a member at large, Keith was very involved in the Academic Committee and has decided to continue and pursue
with the progression of their work. He is working on the awards programs that they are creating and helping with figuring out the best means to carry out their mission. He is also actively involved in the Progress Committee
and works hard to bring new things to our campus. As you can see, Keith deserves the position he was elected to and will continue the great work he has already proven to be capable of.

Listen to the Voice of the Veterans A message from your Veteran Representative
Scott Edwards Veteran Representative My name is Scott Edwards, and I am the current Student Government Representative for veterans. I wanted to introduce myself, draw attention to this newly created posi-
tion, and explain how you can positively impact other veterans on campus. Veterans have always had a visible presence at Embry-Riddle, and have greatly enriched the student population with their collective leadership, military and life experi-
ence. However, with the influx of new students after the adoption of the Post 9/11 Enhancement Act our numbers have grown exponentially. Recently, the SGA realized the need for student veterans to be formally represented on their
board. This only occurred in Spring of this year. Serving in this capacity, I can draw greater attention to our veteran-specific needs, issues, and concerns, and ensure we are fairly considered. To do this effectively, I need your help. I want
to hear your voices and opinions, in order to best represent your interests. I am seeking to maximize the feedback from fellow veterans with the ultimate goal of improving the student life of veterans on campus. Your input is essential. Possible ideas recently raised include a discount of 10% for veterans buying food on campus or buying books at the bookstore Lobbying to change the 50% discount on study-abroad tuition to an equally distributed studyabroad grant or scholarship is another proposal. Ensuring space allocation in the new student union, adequately recognizes student veterans is important to many of us. If you support these initiatives, or have any other ideas or feedback – speak up! Don’t hesitate to attend the weekly SGA SRB meetings. They are held on Tuesdays at 12:45 p.m. in the IC Auditorium. This is your forum to make student comments directly to the Student Government you elected to represent you. Hold us accountable. If your schedule doesn’t allow for that, simply put a suggestion or comment
in one of the many yellow suggestion boxes conveniently located around campus. Only this week we finalized a box at the entrance to our very own Veterans’ Lounge in the MYVETS building. While you are there, explore their full variety of services, including invaluable tutoring for all levels of Math and Introductory Physics. Another option is to simply type “SGA” on any campus computer browser, hit the yellow “suggestion” tab on the top right of the screen, and submit the online version. Regardless of how you do it, get involved! That would be my advice in all aspects of your student life. Consider joining the Embry-Riddle Veterans’ Association, or attending one of the veteran-focused events on campus. On Oct.2, (Ret.) Colonel Ted Spain will be presented by the President’s Speaker Series at 7:30 p.m. in the IC auditorium. He would love to see all the veterans in the front rows as he discusses his experiences as a Military Police Brigade Commander in Iraq. I hope to see you there!

Wilbur Wright pilots the Flyer III 24 miles in 39 minutes 23 seconds. Top speed of this aircraft was 35 m.p.h. The range was limited to 25 miles. Its wingspan was 40 feet, with a length of 28 feet. Service ceiling was barely above ground effect, perhaps a maximum of 100 feet. Max takeoff weight totaled 710 pounds. At 20 hp, this aircraft only had a hp/weight ratio of 0.03/1. However, this was one of the first significant flights that made extended cross-country flying a possibility. Performance continued to improve beyond expectations.
for short takeoff and landing and airborne refueling. The C-17 can back up on a 2 degree slope thanks to its 4 Pratt and Whitney 2040 turbofans. The plane can deliver 102 combat soldiers, 160,000 pounds of cargo, or other heavy military equipment. McDonnell Douglas created this plane during the cold war for quick troop and supply movement. The plane serves both as a military and humanitarian aid transport. It has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has delivered humanitarian aid to the Indian and Japanese during the aftermath of the tsunamis and the earthquake in Haiti. The C-17 received the Collier Trophy in 1994. The plane has 33 world records including the record for

Bombardier CS100 Takes Flight

You could hardly hear the takeoff.
“
Airshow Center
The Canadian aircraft and locomotive manufacturer first tested the aircraft on Sept. 16 in front of about 3,000 guests. The CS100 lifted off from Montréal–Mirabel International Airport at 9:55 a.m. in beautiful weather conditions for the two and a half hour test flight. At the controls were Bombardier’s Chief Flight Test Pilot, Captain Charles ‘Chuck’ Ellis, his First
Officer Andris Litavniks, and Andreas Hartono as a Flight Test Engineer. While at an altitude of 12,500 feet, the crew performed gear and flap extension and retraction tests, a simulated landing, and verifications of flight controls and systems. Bombardier is taking a big step by launching a product into the market dominated by Boeing and Airbus with their 737 series and A318/19 models, respectively. Officials from Bombardier touts that it’s offering is quieter and more fuel-efficient than any other commercial regional airliner. However, it is with cost, as the total price of production is climbing steadily through $3.5 Billion USD, about $500 million more than planned. The CS100 incorporates the brand new Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan™ PurePower engine (PW1000G), which is
making its debut on the CS100 aircraft. The C-Series is already winning orders from Carriers such as AirBaltic, Korean Air, Swiss European Airlines, and others for a total of 63 orders to date. A larger version of the C-Series, the CS300, which seats 135 passengers, has received 117 orders to date. Martin Gauss, the CEO of AirBaltic was
in attendance at the test flight and remarked that “you could hardly hear the takeoff.” He further went on to explain his company’s reason for ordering the aircraft centered on its cost-efficient Pratt and Whitney engines. The C-Series is the industry’s first new narrow-body in almost three decades. To date, it has taken the combined work
of around 750 engineers. A total of seven aircraft will be constructed during the testing phase. Bombardier plans to roll out 120 to 240 planes per year once production begins. It looks as if there will be a bright future for the C-Series of aircraft, so keep your eyes and ears open. More information and photos will be published upon availability.

in June at the Paris Air Show in France. On June 18, Singapore Airlines placed an order for 30 787-10 aircraft as well. ALC also placed an order for 30 787-10 and 3 787-9 aircraft, totaling $9.4 billion dollars. There have been numerous additional commitments from European organizations as well, including British Airways.
Boeing has found enough achievement in its 787-10 program to warrant a $35 million expansion at its Montana facility. The new construction will provide an additional 55,000 square feet, bringing the total size of the facility to over 167,000 square feet. Construction will begin later this fall, and is expected to be completed during
the fourth quarter of 2014. This new addition to the 787-10 project will bring in an additional 20-25 jobs as well. The new space and greater amount of employees will help the facility better meet its goal of providing complex components for the 737, 747, 777, and 787 fleet. More information will be published as it becomes available.

Mars is not so Martian Curiosity “Unearths” New Information on Martian Planet Curiosity Discovers Water on Martian Surface
Continued from A1 >>
submarines and spacecraft where reliable backup oxygen supplies are necessary, this technique can be adapted for extended-length stays on the Martian surface. The news of water and perchlorate being present on the face of the Red Planet was revealed in two of five scientific reports published in the journal Science by NASA scientists on Sept. 26. The remaining reports revealed information regarding discoveries made by Curiosity’s ChemCam, a laser compound analyzer, which detected strong signals of hydrogen in fine-grained soil along Curiosity’s route, a solid confirmation of SAM’s liquid water findings. Further reports included details of a peculiar rock studied by Curiosity in Oct. 2012, which was dubbed “Jake Matijevic” in honor of a mission team member who died two weeks after Curiosity’s touchdown on Mars. Jake Matijevic was identified as a volcanic rock unique to the Martian surface. Rocks similar to Jake Matijevic are common
on the surface of Earth. They are particularly prominent around areas where the Earth’s crust has thinned, such as on oceanic islands. This points to evidence that the Martian crust’s development is more diverse than we initially though. Although Curiosity has already provided its weight’s worth in scientific discoveries, the mission is far from over. With the ultimate mission of climbing and studying Mount Sharp, a 3.4 mile high mountain soaring over Gale Crater, Curiosity is currently only about 20 percent through its planned 5.3 mile trek. According to scientists, Curiosity should reach the base of Mount Sharp by the middle of next year to begin its ascent. For more information on the whereabouts of Curiosity and updates on scientific discoveries, check out NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory hub, Space.com’s Curiosity coverage, or follow Curiosity on Twitter (@MarsCuriosity).
Mars Atmosphere Contains Methane Gas Charles Boxell Guest Reporter The search for life on Mars suffered a blow last week when NASA’s Curiosity rover was unable to detect methane in the planet’s atmosphere. These findings came as a shock to scientists whose earth based observations put Mars’ methane content at upwards of 45 parts per billion. Such amounts of methane— an organic compound, and byproduct of microbial metabolic process—would have pointed to the possibility of a living source. Scientists are befuddled as to why the earlier findings were so inaccurate, but some haven’t given up the hope of finding life. The state that not all microbes produce methane, which represents just one kind of metabolic process, and eliminating it from the list of possibilities will help researchers
narrow down their investigation. The Curiosity rover project is overseen by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, whose mission is dedicated to the robotic exploration of space and is NASA’s only FFRDC (Federally Funded Research and Development Center) project. On a positive note, if Mars turns out to be lifeless, this could be good news for those who hope to one day colonize the Red Planet, as the discovery of life could curtail any such attempts due to ethical considerations. The introduction of an invasive species to Mars would drastically alter, or possibly end the evolution of Martian life, and therefore would present a moral challenge as the famous cosmologist Carl Sagan laments in his 1980, ecclesiastical work Cosmos: “If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if the Martians are only microbes.”

OCTOBER
The Embry-Riddle men's tennis program continued its dominance in USTA/ITA Regional play with sweeps of the men's singles and doubles titles at the 2013 edition of the event, which concluded Sunday at the Crotty Tennis Complex. Sunday's championships marked the 10th consecutive season that the Embry-Riddle men have won both the doubles and singles regional titles. The first match of the day was a singles battle between the tournament's top seed Deni Zmak and his second-seeded Embry-Riddle teammate Anthony Grasso. Zmak
won the match in straight sets, topping Grasso 6-2, 6-1 to advance to the USTA/ITA National Small College singles championship. An hour after the conclusion of his singles contest, Zmak took the court again, this time in tandem with Simon Felix in the doubles title match. Seeded No. 1 in the doubles bracket. Zmak and Felix took on Warner's Patrick Frandji and Julian Ramirez Luna who were the tournament's No. 2 seed. The Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but Warner came back to close the gap to 3-2. Each team held on their subsequent service games, but the Eagles took the last two games to win the set 6-4. Felix and Zmak then bested the Warner pair
6-2 in the second frame to take the regional crown. Zmak, currently in his sophomore season is making his first trip to the USTA/ITA National Small College Championship, while Felix is making his third trip to the doubles portion of the event after finishing as the national runner-up with Patrick Besch in 2012. The USTA/ITA National Small College Championships, held October 10-13 at the Three Oaks Tennis Center in Fort Myers, Florida. The USTA/ITA National Small College Championships are comprised of the eight regional champions (and/or at-large selections) from NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior/ Community Colleges.
The USTA/ITA National Small College Championship is the only national championship event for singles and doubles at the NCAA Division II and NAIA levels. It is also the only tournament that combines all levels of Junior/Community College (NJCAA Divisions I and III and the California division). The singles and doubles champions at each divisional level will then compete to become the overall "Super Bowl" champions. The "Super Bowl" champions earn wild cards into the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships with the opportunity to win the culminating event held at the USTA-Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Men’s Soccer Notches 7-0 Decision Against Johnson & Wales vs Embry-Riddle: 7
Johnson & Wales: 0
Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics In four previous meetings, the Embry-Riddle Eagles had outscored the Johnson & Wales Wildcats 48-0. The impressive offensive trend continued on Saturday evening as the host Eagles scored seven times against JWU in a shutout victory to move to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in The Sun Conference. Johnson & Wales (7-2, 0-2) couldn't solve the Eagle defense, led by Nils Carlson as the junior goalkeeper recorded his 15th career shutout by making five saves. The Blue and Gold got off to a fantastic start less than four minutes into the game when a bad clearance by Johnson & Wales in its penalty area found Veit Couturier who passed the ball along to Ally MacDonald and the senior from Inverness, Scotland easily slid his shot by Chris De La Cruz in goal for a 1-0 advantage. Embry-Riddle didn't wait long to go up by two scores when MacDon-
ald made it a double as a well-timed give-and-go between him and Nicklas Petersson at the top of the penalty box allowed the defender to slot home his second goal of the night (third of the season) in the eighth minute. The Wildcats hung tough with the Eagles for the next 25 minutes, but another Scotland product put the hosts up 3-0 when Alan Vezza buried the ball after Sigurbergur Elisson crossed it to Couturier in the box and Couturier created some space for Vezza to finish the play for his first goal of the year. Couturier would score his first non-penalty kick goal just seven minutes later on a beautiful pass from Marcus Starke, who had just entered the match and made his first touch on the ball. Couturier's goal stretched the lead to 4-0 in favor of the hosts and that score would hold up into the half. All four of the Eagles' first half shots on frame ended up in the net as Embry-Riddle outshot the
Wildcats 11-6 in the period. Just 48 seconds into the second half the Eagles found themselves up 5-0 when an Elisson pass went over Couturier in the box before Petersson mopped up the ball with a shot into the lower-right corner of the goal, his third tally of the season. Embry-Riddle controlled the possession throughout the next few minutes and in the 49th minute a Couturier header bounced off the crossbar before Vezza headed the rebound past De La Cruz for a six goal lead for the Eagles. The final score of the night came off a poor defensive job by the Wildcats when Elisson carried the ball from nearly the half line all the way into the JWU penalty area and fired a shot that was untouched by the Johnson & Wales netminder. Carlson and the ERAU defense nearly saw their clean sheet wiped out when the Wildcats appeared to score a goal late in the contest, but an offsides call kept the visitors off the scoreboard for the fifth straight season against Embry-Riddle. Five different Eagles scored and four assisted on goals, led by two goals each from MacDonald and Vezza and a goal and two assists from Couturier and Petersson.

Beatty’s 15 Kills Leads No. 14 ERAU Volleyball to Fifth Straight Win vs Embry-Riddle: 3 Michael Pierce ERAU Athletics Jennifer Beatty racked up 15 kills on Saturday afternoon, leading the 14th-ranked Embry-Riddle volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-8, 25-10) of Warner. The Eagles have won five straight matches to push their record to 10-5 and 5-0 in Sun Conference play, while the Royals fall to 10-6 and 2-2 in league
Warner: 0 action. The Blue and Gold took an 8-7 lead in the first set on a kill from Emily Jacobson and never trailed for the rest of the frame. A Cailey Washington kill built the lead to 16-12 and a Jacobson service ace made it 21-15 Eagles. After Warner scored three straight points, Embry-Riddle closed the set with four unanswered points to take the set by a score of 25-18.
ERAU dominated the second set, leading by a score of 7-2 early on. Six straight points pushed the lead to 13-3 and a 4-0 run made it 17-4 Embry-Riddle. Erika Hinel scored kills on two of the last three points, including the final point of the set, ending the frame at 25-8. Leading 2-0 in the match, Embry-Riddle didn't let up in the third set, scoring the first eight points of the frame. A 5-0 run keyed by three straight Taylor Ruiz kills gave ERAU a 13-2 lead and another 5-0 run, this one capped by three straight kills from Beatty, extended the lead to 23-7. A few points later, Ruiz ended the match with a kill that closed the set at 25-10, clinching
another 3-0 sweep for the Blue and Gold. Beatty led all players with 15 kills and hit .400 (153-30) to go along with six digs and a solo block. Ruiz chipped in with nine kills and eight digs while Morgan Shattuck added six kills on just 10 swings, hitting .600. Hannah Gray picked up a match-high 17 digs and added five assists while Tamires Ferreira contributed six kills, three service aces, 13 digs and a matchhigh 33 assists. Marisa Moralobo led the Royals with eight kills and Rachel Meiner chipped in with seven. Heather Lockwood registered a team-high 15 digs and Chloe Boehm tallied a team-leading 13 assists.

“Gun control will never work because criminals are criminals, and they will break the law no matter what.”
“The reason why gun control doesn’t work is because everything is patch work. Each state has its own laws and gun tracking should be federalized.”
“Gun control is a matter that needs to be stopped. A person should be limited to a pistol.”
“I think gun control is fine as it is. The shootings will happen either way. If you enforce gun control, people will obtain it illegally.”
“No bans on guns, that way the government can tax the hell out of guns and ammo. This is ‘Murica! Everything is supposed to be free.”
“People should be able to carry guns. Taking away the guns will not reduce violence.”

Try Ritter’s Frozen Custard Josh Nutzati Staff Reporter After eating dinner at Crabby Joes (see review in previous issue of the Avion), my friends and I felt we needed something nice and sweet to cap us off. As much as I love the taste of seafood more than most other foods, it begs for a dessert. After some debate, we eventually set-
tled on Ritter’s frozen custard. Until I went to Ritter’s, I had never had frozen custard. I’ve had ice cream and I’ve had frozen yogurt (love them both), but this idea was new to me. I was very pleased with this idea. For those of you who are uninitiated, as I had been for too many years, frozen custard is awesome. I don’t really have a base mark of
just how good frozen custard regularly is, but I can at the very least tell you that I am now extremely fond of the Ritters variant. I ordered what is known as a mud sundae, after I was assured by the cashier that it did not contain any actual mud. I was given a nice, thick, chocolate dessert infused with marshmallow and Oreo pieces. A quick warning, frozen cus-
tard is thicker and heavier than ice cream and it is very filling. Having eaten decently large dinners, my buddies and I had to work hard in order to defeat our delicious treats, but in the end we triumphed. Ritter’s frozen custard is located on the corner of Herbert and Clyde Morris and is a nice and inexpensive dessert or snack for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Brickyard has Best Burger Josh Nutzati Staff Reporter
ATMOSPHERE
SERVICE
While its menu is by no means limited, I don’t think I’ll ever have need of variety when I go to the Brickyard. I’ve ordered the chicken wings, had a bite here and there of what my friends have ordered, and all the dishes I have tried were quite good, but nothing I tried could compare
to the Brickyard Burger. I’d bet that no better burger could be bought in Daytona Beach. The smell of the patties being grilled is enough to work up an appetite. You’ll definitely need that appetite whetted before beginning your meal. Made with two juicy half pound sirloin patties, the burger is a veritable goliath. As enjoyable as my meals there have been, I always am left with such a
food baby that I have considered requesting child support from the chef. The variety of toppings that can go in your bun is quite good. The last time I was there, I had mine with bacon, onions, mushrooms, cheese and jalapeños. Never have I been so satisfied with a burger For the typical college student, the Brickyard is neither cheap, nor expensive. A good (and extreme-
ly filling) meal can be had there for under twenty dollars. A small sports bar/ diner, on a regular day they are not too crowded and the service is quite good. If you ever have a craving for a deliciously massive burger, this is the place to go; just be prepared to loosen your belt a notch after your meal. The Brickyard is located on International Speedway Boulevard, right next to Tobacco Exotica.
