Gabbie Hoekstra SGA Treasurer October is here! You have successfully survived the previous eight weeks of school, you are starting to miss the chill of fall back home, and the stress of paying tuition is gone - until next semester. How have you seen your tuition and fees at work so far? Maybe
it’s through that neat physics lab, the last minute tutoring session before your midterm, or when you nearly amputated your hand and Health Services had to stitch you up (yes, they do that). But what about that $100 SGA fee you paid back in August? I promise you it’s working harder than any of your other fees. Here’s how!
Total SGA Budget Elizabeth Worsham Managing Editor The stage was set, the lights were up, and the students were ready to rock. It was time for none other than Rocktober 2013. On Friday, Oct. 11, 2013, The WIKD 102.5 FM and Touch-NGo Productions jointly produced Rocktober 2013, ERAU’s annual fall concert event. The sounds of this year’s concert could be described as rock with a retro, 8-bit twist. Stealing Vanity, a local, Daytona Beach band, opened the show with their song “You’re Right” to
get the crowd rolling, and after eight more songs, the crowd was warmed up and ready to go. The energy really got going when the headliner, I Fight Dragons, stepped onto the stage. They mesmerized the crowd with their setlist, including hit songs such as “Save World Get Girl” and “The Geeks Will Inherit The Earth.” This year’s Rocktober phenomenon had a surprising 300-350 attendees, about three times more than last year’s concert. Students had the chance to receive over $1,000 in prizes, including an iPad, and WIKD gave out exclusive
swag to a lucky few. Hailing from Chicago, I Fight Dragons formed with five members in 2008. They produced several EPs including “Cool Is Just a Number” and “Welcome to the Breakdown” before releasing their first full-length album, “KABOOM!,” in 2011. The band’s signature is its use of electronic sounds from Nintendo Game Boys and the Nintendo Entertainment System. If you missed the music and energy at Rocktober this year, never fear, The WIKD and Touch-N-Go are already planning for JAMuary 2014.
Where does SGA funding come from and how is it used? The SGA funding comes from you! Each student on this campus pays a $100 SGA fee. With 5,279 students, our total budget this semester is $527,900. Of your $100, the SGA gave $77 of that to
SGA Divisions and Registered Student Organizations (RSOs). We kept $23 to use for SGA projects and internal costs, such as the Blue Bike Program, building a hammock park on campus, SafeRide, coffee, tea, candy, student assistants, and paper clips.
Divisions Why do SGA Divisions get so much funding? The SGA Divisions are guaranteed an average of 50% of SGA’s total budget because they provide services that benefit the entire student body. The Avion
Newspaper, WIKD 102.5’s radio station, and Touch-nGo’s events are available to everyone, so make sure you take advantage of them! Of your $77 that went to Divisions and RSOs, it was distributed as follows:

The first Honors Series event of the semester was held Monday night, October 7, in the Gale Lemerand Auditorium. The distinguished speaker of the evening was internationally respected journalist, author, geopolitical and global economic analyst Afshin Molavi. The event began with a brief welcome by Dr. Geoffrey Kain, director of the Honors Program. Afterwards, Mr. Molavi took the floor and began his presentation on the uprisings in the Arab world. Molavi, who is of Iranian decent himself, has spent many years reporting from and traveling through Iran. He has witnessed a time in the Middle East when “new media is changing the game.” According to Molavi, homes in the Middle East have very high walls, but social media is allowing a glimpse behind those walls. Protestors are now able to upload videos to
YouTube that often get picked up by TV news broadcasts. This new media brings hope to the region; hope that they can get their message out. Molavi then took a step back and took us to Iran before the uprisings began; he described the conditions that led to the unrest. Iran had the highest youth unemployment and highest number of unmarried males, aged twenty-five to twenty-nine, with respect to population in the world. This, combined with rising population, food prices, and political unrest, was the spark that ignited the revolution. These uprisings have been covered intently by the news media in the United States; however, Molavi stresses that TV is not the reality on the ground. Furthermore, despite the negative coverage, Molavi says that Iran is “one of the most pro-American continues in the region.” Next, Molavi turned his attention to the rest of the Middle East, commenting on the state
of various countries throughout the region. He began with Saudi Arabia, stating that if the government fell, the rest of the world would fall; however, the people of Saudi Arabia are fairly satisfied with their current ruler, and a fall does not seem likely. After that, he commented on the current issues in Syria, adding that the current chaos will not die with the death of the leader. Lastly, Molavi addresses the uprisings as a whole, he states the fact that these countries are facing more econom-
“
TV is not the reality on the ground, [Iran] is one of the most pro-American [nations] in the Region

ic problems than they were before the uprisings. When Molavi finished his presentation, the floor was opened for a question and answer ses-
sion with the audience. One of the first questions asked was whether or not, with all the social media and education, we would soon see western democracy take over the region. Molavi responded by saying that Americans expect “instademocracy” and “revolutions in general are messy.” He was then asked his opinion on America’s involvement. “We as Americans always feel like we can fix it,” he said, “but the least we can do is morally condemn it.” Everyone looks to us to do something; therefore, we are caught in a tricky situation. Molavi believes that if we go in,we must go in with overwhelming force; however, it is not a good idea. The event was a success and started off the Honors Series on a good foot. If you missed this event, there will be more Honors Series speakers throughout the semester, as well as a variety of other speaker programs. These events are educational and eye opening; attendance is highly recommended.
IGNITE Research Abroad: Transylvania Caroline Day IGNITE Representative For the second year in a row, Ignite will be conducting research abroad during spring break! This year, the trip, IGNITE Abroad: Transylvania, will take our researchers through five cities- Budapest, Brasov, Sighișoara, Sibiu and Bucharest, in two countries, Hungary and Romania. To move between destinations, the cultural research group,
comprised of between six and seven students, will travel via train. The group will spend time in both the old world, Buda, and more modern, Pest, sections of Budapest as well as Buda Castle in Hungary. Buda Castle was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. In Romania, they will visit the Liars Bridge in Sibiu, the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, the Rasnov Citidel near Brasov, and Bran Castle, which is more com-
monly known as Dracula’s Castle. The Palace of the Parliament is the world’s largest civilian building and houses the Romanian Parliament. The students will travel through the Transylvanian Hills as well as the Carpathian Mountains and will have the opportunity to visit the Fisherman’s Bastion which overlooks the famed Danube River. The application for Ignite Abroad: Transylvania will be available on
the Ignite page of Connection beginning October 21. Applications will be due on November 4th, and decisions will be made by Nov.18. The first of three pre-trip meetings will be held Dec. 3 at 4:30 p.m. in the Office of Undergraduate Research. The cost of the trip will be roughly $500 plus flight and meals and will count toward the Experiential Research Certificate. Questions? Contact us at 386.226.6424 or dbugrsch@erau.edu

By: Wesley Lewis, Assistant Director of Media and Marketing
When you think of ERAU, many things come to mind: the Wright Flyer, Propellers, and great possibilities of what the future holds for fellow classmates and yourself. Thus, to help capture this sense of the future, this year’s Homecoming theme is “A Glimpse into the Future: The Greatest Adventure Lies Ahead.” We want to capture the energy and excitement of the future and celebrate the possibilities of human imagination. We therefore invite all student organizations, campus departments, and members of the ERAU community to participate within the Embry-Riddle Homecoming 2013 festivities. There are a variety of ways to get involved with Homecoming this year. For student groups and organizations, we invite you to participate in the Homecoming competition with events taking place all week. If you have an artistic flair you should try your luck at either the Spirit Sign Competition on Monday or chalk out on Legacy Walk for the Chalk Art Contest on Tuesday. If you don’t have that artistic eye, but have the moves to rock it, strut your stuff at Air Jam on Wednesday evening. If you have spirit and want to show the world, come participate in the Homecoming Parade with a float on Saturday, Nov. 9. We also award points to student organizations for just attend-
ing events such as Air Jam and the Comedy Show! The winner of the overall Homecoming Competition will be announced at the Bonus Bucks Auction on Nov. 20. For more details on the competition, please check out the Homecoming page on ERAU Connection. Applications are due by Oct. 18 at 5 p.m. We want to recognize amazing individuals who capture the spirit of ERAU and make us proud to be Eagles! Therefore, we request campus departments and student organizations to nominate individuals for the homecoming court. Nominees must have at least junior class standing with 58 credit hours, 2.5 CGPA, and be a registered ERAU Daytona Beach student. Nominations will close on Oct. 18 at 5 p.m. through the Homecoming ERAU Connection page. The court will be chosen by a vote of the student body during the last week of Oct. All court candidates require a $20 nomination fee. The King and Queen will be voted on during Homecoming Week and announced at the basketball game on Nov. 9. The Department of Student Activities & Campus Events is excited for another fantastic Homecoming filled with ERAU spirit, fun, and memories.

Where Your Money Goes:
SFB Allocations
Division Funding (continued) Student Orgs Touch-N-Go WIKD Avion
Allocations The Student Finance Board consists of six students voted by the entire student body in spring elections. The SFB looks at many things when allocating funding to an organization, such as professionalism, leadership, and financial history. We ask, “How realistic is this request?” “How will the organization pay for this?” and “Is this essential for the well-being of the organization?” The reason financial history and stability are so important is that the SGA does not hand out cash money. We allocate certain funding, but it’s up to your organization to spend that money first and then be reimbursed by the SGA. So why do Greek organizations get so much funding? Greek organizations often have excellent leadership, great financial history, and professional requests and
presentations. And why do you allocate so much to Professional organizations? Professional organizations spend most of their funding on conferences, which provide opportunities for networking, sessions on development, and allow students to represent the university to industry professionals. Conferences require expensive registration fees and large travel fees. And what about organizations centered around technology? Technology is expensive. Robots, motors, and computers add up. Imagine if you had five children and they all wanted an iPhone and a car. Most technology-based organizations also have dozens of corporate sponsors and partners and participate in international competitions that give the university a better name in the industry.

Organization of the Week Andre Prescott Director of Ext. Affairs As mentioned last week, the SGA wants to recognize student organizations for going above and beyond, and this week has been especially difficult, considering all the events going on around campus. With the WIKD 102.5 putting on Rocktober, Sigma Chi and our Sororities working on
Derby Days and so many other events and hard work around campus, choosing one group was not an easy task, but one organization really gets the cake. For an outstanding effort to promote breast cancer awareness, fundraising for a good cause, and working with our athletics team, we decided to recognize the members of the Women’s Ambassador Program
for this week. Outstanding job to all of your hard work, whether you realize it or not, these kind of events make an impact on more than just the students of this campus. And to the rest of the student body, if you feel your organization has gone above and beyond or would like for us to visit one of your meetings, simply contact me at sgadea@erau.edu.
To the left we see how much was allocated out of the entire allocation percentage, and to the top is what organizations received based on what they requested. There it is! That is your SGA fee at work. Here are some tips to make the most out of that $100: Read the Avion, listen to the WIKD 102.5, go to events sponsored by Touch-n-Go Productions, and join an organization! Or two, or three, or four… You would also be surprised how effective sug-
gestions to the SGA an be. We’re currently working on a hammock park, latenight, on-campus shuttle, and renovating our office. Those were all suggestions from students like you who wanted to see a difference on our campus. Fill out a suggestion card and know how we can better serve you! Of course, don’t forget to finish out the semester strong and study for those midterms. Your money is hard at work. Are you?
First Year Initiative Update Denean Kelson FYI Liaison It is already October! The semester is going by quickly, as midterms are around the corner. Many organizations on campus have hit the ground running with events, socials, fund-raising and community service projects. To a first-year student, this may seem overwhelming – especially if he or she has not found an organization to get involved with? For you all who have not found your niche and would like to, FYI is for you! There are currently about 80 members of First-Year Initiative. That means at least 80 first-year students: freshman, transfer students, graduate students, veterans and returning students are enthusiastic about getting involved on campus and in SGA. They have joined Touch-N-Go, WIKD 102.5 and The Avion. They have
joined committees and sat in on the Student Representative Board and Student Finance Board meetings. They have already gotten involved with the Student Court. This is possible because FYI is a participation-through-mentorship program. Every member of First-Year Initiative has a mentor who is an SGA Official. They were matched based on similar interests, majors and professional goals. We called the process: “FYI Matchmaker”! The purpose behind this program is to help firstyear students create working relationships with upperclassmen and current leaders on campus in order to train them to be effective leaders, as well as, well-rounded professionals. Besides getting FYI members involved in SGA, First-Year Initiative also strives to empower first-
year students in the academic and professional setting. For example, the Boeing Intern Team presented at the last FYI meeting, on Tuesday, October 1st. They explained concepts, such as, the difference between an internship and a co-op, why it is important to go to the Career Expo as a freshman, and the importance of confidence when speaking to recruiters. They also talked about their past experiences with internships. The presentation was very informative and an overall success! The next meeting for First-Year Initiative is Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00pm in IC102. You can also stop by the front desk of the SGA Office weekdays between 8am-5pm for questions. First-Year Initiative exists to serve you and help you to find your place! So many great things are happening, and I encourage every firstyear student to get involved.

AMS Refreshes Program with a New Plane Zack Wilkinson Guest Reporter It was Sept. 29 that I first set eyes on the Gulfstream. I was headed to the Avion office for my first Sunday on the production team. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw a large aircraft tail on the flight line which I cleverly determined did not belong to any Skyhawk that I’d ever seen. The 1981 Gulfstream 3, N127GK, was donated to the AMS program by a charter company which desires to remain anonymous. The plane is in airworthy condition, however, the airworthiness and registration certificates were removed by the pilots after delivery, therefore rendering it unairworthy. I sat down with Chris Piccone, a laboratory instructional specialist in the AMS program, who detailed for me how it will be utilized. “The Jet has already been used for some airframe instruction, as it’s very similar to many transport category aircraft we study,” he says. He told me that the APU runs on around 200 pounds of fuel per hour, and so far over 1,000 pounds of fuel has been used in demonstrations for students. As far as the reason for it being given to us, he stated that the donation was due to it needing a major life cycle overhaul and engine hush kits. “It’s about $1,000,000 worth of work,” Piccone said. So rather than making those upgrades, the operators decided to donate it. They can then receive a tax write off for a charitable donation to education. The
Chris Piccone/AMS Department The 1981 Gulfstream 3 was donated to the AMS department by a company requesting to be kept anonymous. The G3 is no longer airworthy as the former pilot took the registration upon saying goodbye for the last time. Now Embry-Riddle’s Aviation Maintenance Science department has plans to use the Gulfstream 3 for engine demonstrations for current AMS students.
engine hush kits are being required by the FAA per new legislation hitting the airways in 2015, and many old inefficient engines such as the ones on the G3 are beyond the allowance for engine noise. The cost of running the engines is a major hindrance for its usage. Piccone commented that at idle each engine burns around 200 pounds of fuel per hour. He stated that engine runs are planned in the future, but a lot of it is still being determined. It took a 155 point turn to get the Gulfstream in the gate,
and that could only be done because a link on the nose gear was removed, allowing it to rotate 360 degrees. The AMS program also has a 1980 Learjet 35 which was donated by the United Stated Air Force three years ago. It was used for VIP transport within the Air Force. After delivery, the Airworthiness and Registration certificates were removed along with much of the avionics and electronics. Since it was a government aircraft many of its components were classified. As is, the
Jet is used for engine runs. By December, the AMS department will also do gear cycles and more airframe studies. Many have also heard of the fabled ‘Johnny Jet’ which was donated by John Travolta. This is a true story. The aircraft was a Canadian trainer jet, specifically a CT-114 trainer. The model is made famous by its use in the Snowbird Air Demonstration team, which made an appearance at last year’s ‘Wings and Waves’ air show. The J-jet was received with
wing spar damage and corrosion. Due to this damage it could never hold fuel, as the tanks are located within the wing. Engine runs were never very successful. Despite that, the J-jet was used for avionics and systems training. As you may or may not know, the aircraft is no longer located on the AMS ramp because it was traded off. Piccone remarked that “its condition was deteriorating to a point where it wasn’t useful anymore.” The engine was given to Larsen Motor-
sports in exchange for intercom systems in the turbine run cells. (Those are the ‘engine-on-wheels’ carts you often see near the Q-hangar doing runups). The airframe was given to an individual in Georgia in exchange for a baggage tug which is very useful for moving the remaining aircraft around the ramp, such as the Cessna 310. Students are learning how to use the tug. All in all, static aircraft are very useful to the AMS program. “It allows our students to get hands-on experience with new aircraft and that is very valuable,” Piccone said as we concluded our discussion. The Lear and the G3 are currently on a five year devalue cycle during which they are fully insured and cannot be sold off. At the end of that five years, their value will be down to zero and more decisions on their use can be made. Currently, the AMS hangar is far too small for the G3. There is an expansion planned in the future and a much larger hangar is included in that plan. So let’s all welcome this new addition to the ERAU community. Stop by and take a look at the Gulfstream when you get a chance some evening. The setting Florida sun shines a majestic glow on the glinting airframe, and its panther-like stance and tall gait cast an imposing shadow which only a Gulfstream can do.
Piper Arrows to Join ERAU Fleet Zack Wilkinson Guest Reporter All flight students who have been through the Commercial Single or Flight Instructor course have spent numerous flight hours in the lowly Piper Arrows. Our fleet of eight is synonymous with hot days, moist seats, and oddly matched paint schemes. An onlooker would never know how truly well maintained they are by merely looking at the outside appearance, for we have some of the highest-time Arrows fly-
ing the skies. The flight department is currently in the final stages of negotiating a contract with Piper Aircraft Company to bring five brand-new Arrows fresh from the assembly line in Vero Beach, Florida. If you have seen the most recent edition of Flight Line News, then you will know that a new paint scheme similar to our famed Cessna, N405ER, will grace the fuselage of the new Arrows. The new look is modern and captures the hearts of every student which is handed
the clipboard for 405ER, as well as many who have not yet had the opportunity to fly it. The new aircraft will be equipped with Garmin G500 glass cockpits displays and will be ADSB ready. They will join five of our current rounddial Arrows to increase our fleet to a total of 10. Three of our current Arrows will be removed from operation. When asked why the switch to a glass cockpit was made, Kenneth Byrnes, the head of the flight department, commented that it was
all about pricing. “The glass cockpits were actually cheaper, because no one makes round-dial aircraft of this type anymore”. All costs in the flight department are passed on to the student, so money is saved whenever, making it easier for the student to learn to fly, he explained. The aircraft will be purchased at a 10 percent discount from Piper, bringing the total cost to $375,000 each. Currently, an approximate date of summer 2014 is expected for delivery.

Perspectives Career Expo: a Student Insight
Dylan Johnston Guest Reporter The 2013 Industry/ Career Expo has come and gone and I’d like to recap what I noticed from my first go-around (no pun intended) with the expo. As a freshman last year, I did not attend the expo. Being a sophomore in the Aeronautical Science Program and far from the airline minimums, I didn’t exactly have a reason for going to the expo this year either, but I’m glad I did. I would recommend it to each and every student. In this article, I’m going to share with you what I noticed from my experience with the expo. Yes, I understand we are only a week removed from this recent Expo, but
here are a few suggestions I would give for those looking to go next year. 1. Look sharp. For the most part, this was not a problem. However, it was not too uncommon for me to see some sort of wardrobe malfunction while walking around campus on the day of the Career Expo. For example, if you are going to wear a black suit, don’t wear white socks. Guys: make sure you shave. Also, ironing your shirt and some shoe polish will go a long way. 2. Know what companies you want to talk to and why. It’s a good idea to create a goal for yourself. What am I looking to get from this Expo? A job? Internship? Research the companies you want to talk to and the
positions you want to hold. This will greatly help your chances of walking away with a smile. 3. Go in with a plan. Since this was my first experience with the career expo, I went in just planning on “checking it out.” While I would encourage every student, freshman or not, to go, I would recommend to avoid the “checking it out” mentality. Make a list of all the companies you want to talk to and hit all of them. Know what you are going to say to them and have a plan for what you want get out of the conversation. If another company happens to catch your eye while you are in line, that’s great, but don’t be one of the few people who makes laps around the ICI hoping a job/internship
will appear out of thin air. 4. Allocate plenty of time. There are often many students who want to talk to the same company. Chances are you will be doing a lot of standing in line. Especially when you have three or four companies you want to talk to, the time will really add up. I went later in the afternoon, about an hour before they closed and the lines were still pretty long, although they did die down towards the end. 5. My overall take on the Expo: Clean-cut students get a chance to put their best foot forward to some of the industry leaders. It was a bit intimidating at first, but once I started talking to some people I fit right in. From what I could tell, looks like a great place to
land the job of your dreams. While I’m only about 1/10th of the way towards the ATP minimums, I’ll

Doing Business in Great Britain Amy Barnhart Guest Reporter The Florida-like heat wave and days of sunshine that England experienced this summer was the perfect backdrop for Daytona business majors and minors to adventure in the history-rich country as part of the British Tour Study Abroad program. While traveling the beautiful countryside in the first half of the trip, Embry-Riddle Study Abroad students learned about personal finance and experienced the wonder that England has to offer. With Professor Ledgerwood as their guide, the
group was able to visit local businesses to learn about conducting business in the United Kingdom. During their visit in Newcastle and the Lake District, students visited places including the castle used as the backdrop for the Harry Potter movies, the lakeside city of Keswick, Muncuster Castle, the border of Scotland and much more. The second part of the trip was spent in London, the capital city of England. Dr. Curtis led students in a more in-depth study of International Business with an emphasis specifically on business in the UK. While in one of the trendiest cities in the world, students
stayed at Imperial College and explored all there was to offer through the convenient public transport. Also while staying in London, they were able to get an exclusive look at the Rolls-Royce headquarters in Bristol with ERAU College of Business alumnus Josh Daisey. Through the summer abroad experience that the University offers, students get an opportunity to not only learn concepts applicable to their major but also gain valuable friendships, connections and learn lessons otherwise not gained through traditional classes. The British Tour Study Abroad program led
by Professor Ledgerwood and Dr. Curtis is sure to leave students with an experience and memories to last a lifetime. Those looking for an adventure this next summer should contact Dr. Curtis or Professor Ledgerwood for more information on the British Tour Summer Abroad 2014 which is set to begin July 7. Professor Ledgerwood will be teaching BA399/699 International Entrepreneurship or BA318 Entrepreneurship I in Newcastle and the Lake District. Dr. Curtis will be teaching BA399 European Management or BA335 International Business in London.

level, separate from the race veterans. Possible contenders for the Challengers Cup include three-time US National Aerobatic Champion Rob Holland. The American performed at several notable air shows in the past, including Wings and Waves and the Chicago Air and Water Show. In fact, the aircraft he normally uses for competitive aerobatics and air shows is the same airplane that some contenders have used or will be using for the 2014 season. There will be a number of technical improvements as well, including standardized engines and propellers to make the race that much more competitive. Additionally, the airfilled pylons that make-up the course will be significantly taller and of a different material. This will allow pilots more clearance from the terrain, and will allow them to fly away that much easier if they accidently clip a gate. The new G limit for all pilots will be reduced from 12 to 10. This means the competitors will only be able to pull 10 times their weight in gravity, even though the aircraft are capable of performing up to 12. “We’ve all worked very
hard over the last three years fine-tuning some of the safety aspects and bring[ing] the sport to a new level,” says Red Bull Air Race CEO Erich Wolf. “We never took our eye off the target and neither have these fantastic pilots or the great fans around the world. Their interest in the sport remained unbelievably high during these past few years. We can’t wait to get back in the air in February 2014.” The comeback season will bring the tour to Abu Dhabi, on Feb. 28. Abu Dhabi has a long history of playing host to the season opener, and is always a crowd favorite. Several new locations are among the list as well, including 2 events in the United States. Texas Motor Speedway will host on Sept. 7, followed by Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Oct. 11. The Race is truly a global sport, now more than ever. In addition to new cities, the Air Race will bring the sport to new countries like Malaysia, Poland, England, and China. Some of these countries will either be hosting for the first time in years, or will be making a race debut in 2014. Watch out, the Red Bull Air Race is back! Smoke on!

It’s back and better than ever! After a three-year hiatus, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be returning with a full 7-race season in 2014. The Red Bull Air Race is the fastest motorsport in the world. The event consists of a fixed obstacle course designed with airfilled pylons, commonly referred to as gates. Flying at speeds in excess of 200 mph, these pilots pull up to 10 Gs (10 times the force of gravity), less than 100 feet off the surface, at magnificent venues across the globe. Only one pilot races at once. The pilot with the fastest time through the course wins the event. Points are awarded to the winner, with additional points given to those who follow in second, third, fourth, and so on. The pilot with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the World Champion for that year. The last race was held over three years ago at the EuroSpeedway in Lausitz, Germany. Red Bull made the decision to take a break from the Air Race to reorganize their business model and more importantly increase safety and
training for the pilots. “I’ve missed the flying in the Red Bull Air Race because the competitive racing is just fantastic for the pilots,” said defending back-to-back World Champion Paul Bonhomme. “We’re all going to start afresh now. I’m already thinking about how to advance, how to win or even just do well to start with. I’ve got a lot of experience to fall back on, which I’ll be using going into the next world championship.” Bonhomme, like many other pilots, put his airplane into hibernation for the last three years. During the extended off-season, Bonhomme continued to fly air shows with compatriot and former competitor Steve Jones, all while trying to perform his duties as a 747 Captain for British Airways and manage his responsibilities as a father of three. New this year is the Challengers Cup. This will give eligible pilots the chance to gain valuable experience before moving up into the official Red Bull Air Race World Championship. Training camps will be held throughout the season, and certain venues will allow these pilots to race on a less competitive
Glen Dell 1962-2013
Andy Lichtenstein Senior Reporter Glen Dell, 51, a former Red Bull Air Race pilot and senior airline Captain, has passed away as a result of burns sustained in a crash on October 12. Dell was performing at the Secunda Air Show in his native country of South Africa. Dell had over 23,000 hours of flight time, in some 250 different types of aircraft. Dell, a former military helicopter pilot, was a Senior Training Captain and a 19-year veteran at South African Airways. Since 1985, Dell had been involved in competitive aerobatics all over the globe. In 2004, he became the first South African to win the advanced portion of the World Aerobatic Championships. Eventually, he progressed even further and attained an unlimited waiver, meaning he could per-
form aerobatics all the way down to the surface, rather than at altitude. In 2003, he created, designed and developed the Slick 360 aerobatic aircraft. Designed to replace many of the older Sukhoi and CAP aircraft no longer in production, this aircraft may still be a significant air show contender well into the future. In 2007, he made his Red Bull Air Race debut, flying the Zivko Edge 540. Although failing to score any points that season, he returned in 2008 and achieved greater success. Dell left the Air Race circuit after just two years in the sport. Red Bull continued to sponsor Glen Dell in the air show world, after he retired from air racing at the end of the 2008 season. For his contributions to the aviation and aerobatic community, Glen Dell will be sadly missed.

15 Sports Zmak Captures National Singles Title OCTOBER
TH
2013
Alison Smalling ERAU Athletics
Just one day after teaming up with Simon Felix for national doubles championship, Embry-Riddle sophomore Deni Zmak captured the singles title at the 2013 USTA/ITA National Small College Championships. Zmak extended Embry-Riddle's dominance in the event, as he became the third straight Embry-Riddle player to claim the national crown, following in the footsteps of Chris Freeman (2011) and Patrick Besch (2012). Zmak entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed and flew through the bracket with three straightset victories in a row, picking up where he left off in regional play. Zmak's opponent in the title match was third seeded Marco Carvajal of Oklahoma Baptist. Zmak got off to a slow start, falling behind 4-1, thanks in part to Carvajal's solid play
VB vs Northwood West Palm Beach, Fla. 2 p.m. WSOC vs Southeastern Lakeland, Fla. 7 p.m. MSOC vs Webber International Daytona Beach, Fla. 7 p.m.
Sunday
Zmak's "Super Bowl" opponent was West Florida's Bruno Savi who won the NCAA II national title. In the first game of the first set, Zmak fell behind 0-40 on serve. The ERAU sophomore regrouped and found his serve once again, emerging with a 6-3, 6-4 win to advance to Sunday's "Super Bowl" final. In his final match of the day, Zmak teamed up with Felix in the doubles bracket of the "Super Bowl". Their opponents from Concordia (N.Y.) were somewhat familiar as ERAU and Concordia squared off during team competition this past spring. Daniele Piludu and Benas Majauskas won the NCAA II doubles title, but were unable to get by Zmak and Felix in the first set as the ERAU earned a 6-3 win in that frame. The second set was a different story as the Eagle pair went down 5-0. Zmak and Felix were able to win three straight games to make the score 5-3, but
the early deficit was too much to overcome and they dropped the set 6-3. The Eagles jumped out to a 3-1lead in the third set, but in the fifth game, Piludu and Majauskas held five break points against Zmak's serve. At that point, Felix took over at the net and his aggressive play helped ERAU take the game 4-1. Concordia held on their next serve to make it 4-2 and bring Felix to the service line. In the first two sets, the Clipper pair was able to break Felix in each of his service games. The third set was a different story as the senior held serve twice and backed up his teammate at the net to seal the 6-2 third-set victory. Embry-Riddle's women's double team of Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang was also in action on Saturday. The duo won a national title on Friday, but was unable to get by Barry's Emma Onila and Linda Fritschken, falling 6-1, 6-1 in the "Super Bowl" semis.

Saturday
from the baseline. Down 5-2, Zmak changed his tactics and won the next three games to tie the set 5-5. He continued to pressure Carvajal and behind the strength of his serve, won the first set 7-6 with a 7-2 decision in the tiebreaker. The second set was more comfortable for Zmak who stuck with the strategy that got him the win in the first set. He went up a break early and stayed on serve the rest of the way to win 6-3 and come away with the championship Winning the national title did not mean the conclusion of Zmak's day on the court as he returned to action a few hours later to compete in the singles bracket of the ITA "Super Bowl". The "Super Bowl" features the four divisional winners (NAIA, JUCO, NCAA III, NCAA II) competing against each other, with the "Super Bowl" champion earning a wild card into the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships.
The fourth-seeded Embry-Riddle doubles team of Deni Zmak and Simon Felix won the men's tennis program's third national title in doubles at the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships on Friday. The Eagles topped Auburn Montgomery's Nicolas Pinones-Halten-
hoff and Miguel Grifol in straight sets to bring home the ninth national title overall for ERAU men's tennis. Friday's contest was a rematch of sorts as Felix and Pinones-Haltenhoff were on opposite sides of the net in the 2012 national doubles final. Both returned to the title match, each with a different partner and this year, the championship went to
Felix who is in his senior season at Embry-Riddle. The Eagles took the first set easily, downing the AUM pair 6-2. In the second set the Eagles fell behind 2-3. Zmak and Felix held serve and registered a break to go up 4-3, but were broken in the next service to make the score 4-4. The next four games saw each side record a hold and a break resulting in a
6-6 deadlock. In the tiebreaker, the Eagles opened up a 3-1 lead, but AUM came back to take over the lead. Trailing 5-4, Zmak hit back-to-back first serves that the AUM team could not return to move ERAU ahead 6-5. On the next point, AUM missed the first serve and on the second serve, Zmak hit backhand, cross-court winner on the return to give the Eagles the national championship.

Marova, Huang Win National Doubles Title
Alison Smalling ERAU Athletics
The Embry-Riddle doubles team of Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang capped off an improbable tournament run with a national championship on Friday. The Eagle pair, that didn't even win their regional, registered two straight-set wins on Friday at the 2013 USTA/ITA National Small College Championships to claim only the second national title for the ERAU women's tennis program. The Eagles had to compete in a play-in game on Wednesday just to make it into the tournament field. A three-set win over conference foes St. Thomas bolstered the Eagles' confidence and helped them
to a three-set upset of the tournament's third seed on Thursday. Faced with the daunting task of winning two matches in the same day for the national title, Marova and Huang met the challenge head on and easily dispatched the second-seeded
Evangel pair of Amy Grossklag-Friz and Jenna Elliot 6-0, 6-1 in the semifinals. The Eagles' next opponent was another unseeded team of Jessica King and Alicia Rodriguez from Lindsey Wilson. The LWC duo posted the biggest upset of the tournament as
they toppled the top seed and tournament favorites in three sets to advance to the national title match. Playing at what ERAU Head Dave Paschal termed "a very high level" Huang and Marova won the opening set 6-3. In the second frame, they dropped
the first two games to fall behind 0-2, but the resilient Embry-Riddle pair stormed back to take the next six games and win the national crown. "I was really proud of our women today," Paschal said. "They played the best match of their entire career. They
didn't play not to lose; they played to win. Even when they were down in the second set, they had the energy and emotion to win those next six games. We played a very good Lindsey Wilson team and Lindsey Wilson didn't lose the match; Kristina and [Hui-I] won it."

Record-Setting Night for Men’s Soccer in Defeat of Ave Maria vs
Embry-Riddle: 18 Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics In an offensive outburst for the ages, the 16th-ranked Embry-Riddle Men's Soccer team emerged with an 18-0 victory over visiting Ave Maria on Saturday night, securing a berth into The Sun Conference Tournament along the way. Senior Nicklas Petersson shone brightest at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium, scoring four goals and racking up a NAIA single-game record eight assists in the victory. Petersson wasn't the only Eagle to reach a milestone on Saturday evening as junior goalkeeper Nils Carlson notched his 17th career shutout, tying Viktor Bergstrand for the Embry-Riddle program record. The Eagles (8-1, 6-0) dominated every aspect of the game, recording 41 shots (28 on goal), while holding the Gyrenes (1-10, 0-5)
Ave Maria: 0 to just seven total shots, none of which were on target. 10 different Blue and Gold players scored, led by Petersson's four goals and hat tricks from Veit Couturier and Sigurbergur Ellison. The Eagles reached the scoreboard in the 4th minute when Petersson beat his defender on the right side of the pitch, crossing a ball to Couturier who slotted home the first of 18 goals on the evening. Embry-Riddle would stretch the lead to 4-0 over the next 11 minutes, and Erik Norburg scored his first goal of the year at the 28:02 mark off a feed from Petersson. Magnus Magnusson tallied his first goal of the season a few minutes later, becoming the fourth beneficiary of a Petersson cross. Petersson would add his second goal of the night before Elisson scored his second to give the Eagles a 9-0 advantage heading into halftime.
The second half featured more of the same for the hosts as Elisson and Couturier both completed their hat tricks from the 63rd through 68th minutes of action. Jacob Stevenback found the back of the net for the first time in 2013 in the 78th minute, while Jared Nordman put the finishing touches on the evening with the final goal in the 84th minute, his first of the season. Petersson's final assist came off a nice play between himself, freshman Stephan Gnadl and Nordman. Petersson crossed the ball to the far post to Gnadl who was able to one-touch the ball to Nordman who beat the Gyrene keeper. Carlson, who was rarely called upon in goal, got his fifth shutout of the season, lowering his goals-against-average to 1.00 in the process. In addition to breaking the NAIA assists record, Petersson tallied 16 points, setting an Embry-Riddle record, a number good for fourth in NAIA history. As a team, the Eagles tallied 19 assists, the second-most in NAIA history, and broke the program record for goals in a game (18) and points (55).

Wasabi Bowl Brings Heat
Josh Nutzati Staff Reporter
Sushi comes in many different shapes and sizes, with a host of different wrappings and ingredients. About the only thing guaranteed to be constant across all types of sushi would be that they contain vinegared rice. This too comes as a differing percentage of the overall sushi composition. I for one, as a lover of sashimi and all other fillings of the roll, generally prefer the rice percentage lower. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love sushi rice; given a choice between plain old run of the mill rice and sushi rice, I
would definitely choose the Japanese style. That being said, and as great as it is, I tend to think of the rice as a filler. Part of the structure and method of eating the delightful salmon, eel, tuna or whatnot you have in your sushi roll. Wasabi Bowl, in my opinion, makes the right choice in going minimalist on this structure, while going maximalist on the parts I really desire. Their sushi is by no means stingy on the seafood. Wasabi Bowl has a decent variety of rolls which range from the simple tuna roll to the complex and multi ingredient Red Dragon roll. In addition to these, they
also offer hand rolls and sashimi. Sushi is not all they offer. One thing I would definitely suggest is the Tempura Udon, which is a huge bowl of delicious soup and fat rice noodles accompanied by tempura of your choice. They also have other items of Asian cuisine. Those of which that I tried were decent, but I personally would stick with the Japanese dishes. For good Japanese food at a reasonable price, I recommend a visit to the Wasabi Bowl. Their sushi is really quite scrumptious, and the service is good. Wasabi Bowl is located in a plaza off Dunlawton, just West of I-95.

“Gravity” Pulls You to the Edge of Your Seat
Gravity
Aaron Larsh Guest Reporter From Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Children of Men, comes this amazing thrill ride of a movie. “Gravity” is not only an amazing film, but an amazing experience that needs to be viewed on the big screen and, in my opinion, 3-D. “Gravity” will keep you captivated during its 90 minute runtime and is often literally breathtaking. Yes, I do mean literally. It manages to mix an intense feeling of claustrophobia in a place of infinite expanse and several times throughout, I found myself holding my breath with the characters. “Gravity” has long moments of amaz-
ing tension and some very subtle moments. It knows when to give you a chance to breathe and when to take your breath away. The use of sound and visuals are key to this movie. The director knows that silence can often be more intense than anything and can create an unsettling feel as all you’ll hear is some radio static and the characters breathing in their helmets. Then in one scene, the music is used to subtly build the danger as you see debris fly quickly through the background as a herald for the imminent danger. The visuals of floating in space and seeing the Earth above is an amazing spectacle and is brilliantly

shot. The use of character point-of-view heightens the feelings and brings the audience into the movie. That mixed with some symbolic religious imagery and a moment where Sandra bullock is floating in the fetal position as wires and tubes float around serves to enhance the mood and give some extra meaning to the story. This movie also would not have been nearly as successful without the stunning performances of its
main cast members, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Bullock plays Mission Specialist Ryan Stone and is a rookie astronaut coming to install sensors on the Hubble. Clooney is Commander Matt Kowalski, the veteran astronaut on his last spaceflight. They are both amazing in their performances and make you root for them and feel the excitement and dread with them. I adore this movie and highly recommend everyone see it on the big screen.
Hanks Wows Audience in “Captain Phillips”
Captain Phillips
Andy Lichtenstein Staff Reporter “Captain Phillips” is the real life story about the 2009 commandeering of the Maersk Alambama.
Tom Hanks plays the Captain in this triller drama, as 4 Somali pirates take the crew hostage. The U.S. Navy also enters the arena to resolve the situation. Amid the release of this

film, many of the crew have stepped forward and presented lawsuits to Maersk Sealine, claiming their own Captain was anything but a hero. Moreover, multiple emails were sent to Captain Phillips, advising the Maersk Alabama to stay further offshore. He acknowledged the concerns of his crew, but failed to take their advice.
In interviews with CNN and other major news organizations, Phillips was questioned about his judgement prior to and during the encounter with the Somali pirates. Time and again, he appeared to dodge questions, saying that the 600 miles recommended would not be sufficient to provide safe travel. Despite this, the Maersk Alabama
was only traveling 300 miles offshore. When the crew became aware of his answers, several engineers commented further saying that even when the Somali’s boarded the ship, the Captain failed to lock the doors to the bridge. The crew feel that this movie is painting Captain Phillips as a hero, merely because the media has por-
trayed him as a hero. Now Maersk Sealine is facing lawsuits from the crew of the Alabama on the grounds that Captain Phillips was not safe, and consciously put the crew and cargo in jeopardy. Despite another stellar performance from Tom Hanks, this film only deserves three stars because it is not historically accurate.
