Touch-N-Go Chairperson As the sun set on Saturday, April 13, 2013 Touch-N-Go Productions – the EmbryRiddle Student Programming Board – redefined the term ‘BigShow’ as they transformed the Voyager parking lot into an elaborate concert venue; Yellowcard and The All-American Rejects shared the stage once again (the former being the 2003 Warped Tour) and delivered a spectacular show to the 1,600+ students, faculty, staff, and public audience that were in attendance. The stage went dark as Touch-N-Go Productions roused the audience members for the first performance of the night. Suddenly, the stage erupted in a surprising display of pyrotechnics while Yellowcard began their set list. The audience was ecstatic – going as far as hoisting up complete strangers in the largest wave of crowd surfing the organization has seen during a spring concert. Yellowcard’s energy and appeal was captivating throughout their entire perfor-

mance; they held their stage presence all the way through to their last song Ocean Avenue one (if not the most) trademark song in their discography. The show was far from over as a quick 15 minute intermission ensued while the Sound Technicians of Touch-N-Go Productions swapped out the bands equipment. Audience members were able to enjoy free refreshments, pretzels, and popcorn throughout the performance including $3 draft beers in a segmented area of the parking lot. The master of ceremonies returned to the stage to introduce the second artist of the evening. Expecting nothing less, the audience went wild as The All-American Rejects took to a dark stage with an instrumental of Kenny Loggins Danger Zone (quite fitting for our University); the band started strong as they launched right into their first song: Dirty Little Secret. The All-American Rejects graced the audience with notable favorites including Swing, Swing, It Ends Tonight, and Move Along. When they con-
cluded with their set list “ENCORE” roared through the crowd as well as “GIVES YOU HELL” referencing a popular song of the band. The All-American Rejects quickly returned and preformed an encore featuring one of their newer songs Heartbeat Slowing Down and the classic Gives You Hell as hundreds of glow sticks appeared out of thin air. During their final song Gives You Hell a vast display of fireworks accented the stage from the recreational field and continued a few minutes after the band concluded this year’s spring concert. A truly notable fact was the amount of preparation and planning required to make this event a success. Touch-N-Go Productions first began planning the spring concert in October of 2012. Various Departments on campus collaborated and offered their services in all aspects of concert planning from Facilities / Materials Management to Student Affairs. While the complete list of individuals would quickly extend beyond the page of this article we would like to publically thank all the Departments and Faculty / Staff mem-

bers that helped make our concert a success. In addition, do not forget to recognize your Student Government Association, The Avion Newspaper, and The WIKD 102.5 for their contributions to the success of our concert. Everything that you enjoyed at the spring concert this year was organized by students. Eight of your peers who serve on the Executive Board of Touch-N-Go Productions as well as the entirety of our General Programming Board worked rigorously throughout the past several months to bring these two artists to campus as well as create that concert experience for ERAU. We are always looking for new members and if you would like to see events from the stage, Touch-N-Go Productions may be for you! For more information visit us at www.touchn-go.org. We are also looking for pictures of the concert! If you took some during the performance send them to us at touchngo@ erau.edu (include your name to be recognized) or tag us on social media, and always remember: #TNGBIGSHOW!

BigShow band interviews All American Rejects
Last Saturday, Embry-Riddle hosted a concert by Yellowcard and All American Rejects. That afternoon, Mike Kennerty, Lead Guitarist for AAR, was able to sit down with Andy Lichtenstein, staff reporter, for the Avion. Lichtenstein: How did you guys get your name? Kennerty: It wasn’t taken. L: You released an album last year, “Kids in the Street,” what’s the next step for you? K: I think it’s time start working on some new stuff. We toured pretty hard last year. I think I was home for maybe a month. But we’re all looking forward to making some more music. L: Being on the road so much, what keeps you going? K: We’re very lucky…Our greatest hobby became our job…We’re just really happy that 10 years on, we’re still doing it. We definitely didn’t anticipate that. L: If you could be anything other than a musician, what would you be? K: I don’t know, I don’t really have any other skills or talents…I thought about graphic design, but that industry is already inundated with people as it is. L: Do you feel there is an instrument envy, or a jealousy in the equipment you use? K: I know I wish I could play drums. I
can air drum like a mother f*****. I think we all wish we could play something else every once in a while, but we stay with what we’re best at. L: Who was your biggest idol on a personal level? K: When I was really young, I loved Kiss. After that, I was a big fan of Queen. They were the ones who really pushed me to play. All American Rejects was formed in Oklahoma in 1999. Still charging hard 14 years on, it looks like they are here to stay.

Yellowcard
Elizabeth Worsham, Avion news editor, got the opportunity to talk with Ryan Key, the lead singer for Yellowcard, before the band went on stage for the Big Show. Here are some highlights from the interview: Worsham: How did you feel when you were contacted by Embry-Riddle to do a show? Key: I actually didn’t find out where the concert was going to be until yesterday. I just knew that we were playing a show in Daytona Beach. W: What were your influences and how did the band form? K: I had a similar band before Yellowcard started. Our influences were mostly the Warped Tour, punk rock movement. Now we’re into really diverse stuff but it was the love for the genre that really got us together. W: The band went on hiatus around 2008; what made you want to start playing music again? K: We were ready to start playing again and people were wanting us to come out of retirement. We all needed some time off and some time together with our families, but when we started again it was the right time. W: What has been your favorite performance? K: My favorite performance was at a Music Festival in Brazil with Fall-Out
Boy. There were about 50,000 people there and it was crazy. W: What’s something interesting about the band that people don’t normally ask you about? K: We have strings on all our records since Ocean Avenue, like cello and viola, and the players are members of the band even though they don’t come with us to shows. Sean actually arranges all the strings parts by himself. W: The students of Embry-Riddle want to know: do you like airplanes? K: I actually have a fear of flying. I got over it for a while but it came back after a terrible flight out of Tokyo one year. I fly a lot though, about 130,000 miles last year, so I’m starting to get numb to it again. I’m sure one of the students could talk me out of being afraid.

A3 Campus No smoking policy to begin in fall Page
The Avion,
APRIL 16, 2013
Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Editor As many of you are aware the board of trustees has decided that come fall EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University will be a tobacco free institution; what you may not know is that this policy will also be applied to Embry-Riddle Worldwide and Prescott. The new tobacco free policy bans the use of tobacco and tobacco paraphernalia on all University property. The items banned include cigarettes, chew, snuff, cigars, and smokeless cigarettes. In order to provide a soft transition the policy will be self-policing with student, faculty, and staff responsible for reminding violators of the policy however repeat will be subject to disciplinary action and may be asked to leave University property. In the past, attempts to make EmbryRiddle Daytona Beach a tobacco free campus have been sidestepped and avoided but come August 1 of this year that will no longer be the case. Previous movements
that pushed for a tobacco free campus were put on the backburner due to a perceived lack of support, but with the interest of providing a healthier environment for everyone the board approved the new policy. M a n y major companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, Cessna, Jet Blue, Pratt & Whitney, GE, Sikorsky, United and many others in industry have already adopted a tobacco free policy; the new policy will accustom stu-
dents to the attitude and standards they will find in industry once they graduate. Though t h e policy which began as a simple tobacco free initiative, it has now been reenvisioned into a wellness initiative. The new wellness initiative is a program that is focused on improving the overall health of the EmbryRiddle community by reducing cancer
risks from tobacco, promoting healthy eating habits, and encouraging active lifestyle. Tobacco cessation programs will be available for anyone wishing some help in moving towards a healthier lifestyle as well as resources and one-on-one consultations. Healthy eating incentive will be available through healthier on campus dining options as well as the addition of a Weight Watchers program. “I think it’s a move in a good direction” James R. Scott outgoing SGA President. As the policy begins to take effect, students can look forward to many changes that this policy will have on the campus as well as the community. Look for the upcoming website launch and upon returning from summer vacation expect the futile “25 feet” signs to be replaced by Tobacco-Free signage as well as the removal of ashtrays. For more information on tobacco cessation programs visit the Wellness Center or contact Pam Petrone.
How to dress for success: interview tips Press Release
Career Services You have researched the company with which you will be interviewing. You have practiced your answers to interview questions. You have printed out your resume. You have thank you cards for after the interview. You are ready to conquer that interview! But did you think about what you will wear during the interview process? What you wear makes a distinct first impression, so you want to dress in the most professional and fitting attire for your interview situation. For many of the career fields within aviation and aerospace, conservative attire is key. For other career fields, you may find that less formal business dress is appropriate. Suit A business suit is the most appropriate attire for an interview. For both men and women, a suit conveys authority, power and professionalism. Suits should fit well and be altered or tailored as needed. Ladies can wear either tailored pant or skirt suits, but the skirt must hit at or below the knee. Suit colors can vary, but the most conservative color palettes are navy, grey and soft black; dark colors are best when selecting a suit. Shirt The shirt you wear under your suit should also be subdued in color and fit. Gentlemen should wear a long-sleeved, button down shirt. Ladies can wear button down shirts as well; other choices include knit, rayon, silk or other smooth fabric shirts with a neckline appropriate for an office setting. The recommended colors of the shirts are white, off white or light blue. Other shirt colors can be considered, but it is best to be conservative in your choice. Fit is just as important in a shirt as in a suit. Ensure that the neckline, sleeves and length fit well and select shirts that do not pull or gap down the front. Tie Gentlemen should wear ties with their suits and long-sleeved shirts. The tie should be in a restrained pattern or a solid that complements the colors of the shirt and suit. Also, you can wear a tie color
that complements your interviewing company’s colors. Shoes and Socks/Stockings Shoes are also an important piece of an interview outfit and can convey a distinct message about how you present yourself. Always wear clean, polished, un-scuffed shoes that are for a professional work environment. Gentlemen, wing-tips and lace-ups are common dress shoes and considered professional. Black shoes are great pairings with a black suit; the color of the shoe should coordinate and not overwhelm the suit color. Ladies, closed-toe flats and heels are appropriate; keep the heel height to no more than two to three inches. If wearing socks, the color should match your pants or shoes. Ladies, it is recommended that you wear pantyhose when wearing a skirt suit. Accessories Gentlemen, a belt, braces, tie bar, cuff links, jewelry, a watch and other accessories can be appropriate. Just limit the number of pieces you wear to avoid distracting the interviewers. If you wear a pocket square, allow the fabric to enhance your tie and accentuate your shirt, while still keeping the fold simple. Ladies can also wear accessories like jewelry and a watch; ensure that the jewelry enhances your look without overwhelming you. Grooming Good hygiene and grooming are just as imperative as what you wear. Pay attention to the small details that can make you look and feel ready for the interview. Ensure that your nails are clean and you are showered and fresh. Ladies, get touch ups on any outgrown hair color or highlights and select hair styles that will prevent you from playing with strands during the interview. Makeup should be muted but enhance your look, if you choose to wear it. Gentlemen, trim facial hair if applicable and ensure your hair has been recently cut and is neat. There are certain things to avoid when dressing for an interview. Avoid wearing clothes that are too revealing or too ill-fitting. Don’t wear pieces with stains, rips, missing buttons or other issues that convey you don’t care about your appearance. Avoid strong colognes, perfumes and
other smells that not everyone appreciates. Fresh breath is always a benefit; avoid drinking strong beverages or smoking right before an interview. For the ladies and gentlemen, there are some alternatives to interview dress. Ladies, you can wear a dress and suit jacket combination. Gentlemen, for certain industries, you can wear a pair of slacks with a navy blazer and button-down shirt with tie. At times, certain career fields will find a pressed polo shirt and ironed khaki pants appropriate. It is important to always research the
industry, field and company to identify their standards for interview attire. For an interview, it is best to dress above the standard of what your future employer would consider professional dress. Please visit the Career Services Pinterest group (http://pinterest.com/eraucsodb/) and peruse the What to Wear – Men, What to Wear – Women and What Not to Wear – Men and Women boards for ideas on professional dress. Professional dress is required to attend the 2013 Industry/Career Expo held Wednesday, October 9. Over the summer, make sure that you plan your Expo event attire.
EIC’s Farewell The problem with this school Page
A4
It has always been a tradition for the outgoing Editor-in-Chief to say a few words on their experience here at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the last issue of the Avion. With graduation in about 20-odd days, it might be time to recap my three years observing the student body, and voice my opinion on what I’ve seen. You may agree with it, you may not; it may anger you and cause you to name me nasty things, but I will not hold it against you. It just means that you actually have taken a stand and believe in something, which in the grand scheme of things is a good thing. As a reporter, I have attended many school events by myself, hiding behind the anonymity and the invisibility that a camera provides and quietly observing the interactions that occur around me. At the end of the day, my biggest gripe is the level of apathy in this school, and to a lesser extent the cynicism that exists, especially amongst the senior cohort. I do not blame many of the seniors for having the views they do, simply because the demands of finishing their degree outweigh everything else, and
some have a bitter taste in their mouth from various experiences. However, when you have an event like Touch-N-Go’s recent Big Show, arguably the biggest in the last decade, I would have expected a bigger crowd considering we are a campus of over 5500. However, a record-breaking 1700 people did show up, and that was heartening. That being said, congratulations must be given to Touch-N-Go for an excellent job with the concert and fireworks. Over the years, I have heard many complaints from various segments of the student body about how the SGA and various other clubs and organizations squander students’ money on “pointless events.” My thoughts are that there will always be negative people in this world who will find some reason or another as to why something is “bad.” The proverbial “haters gonna hate” seems to apply here. Dedicated teams of people work selflessly to host such events to serve a purpose, and the minimum we can do as decent human beings is to appreciate the effort they put in, even if we
have no motivation to attend their events. Even after the huge strides made by the Triple-J team in improving school spirit this past year, there is still room for improvement, and the campus population still appears highly segregated. This segregation is unintentional, but happens due to the nature of this school. The groups that we affiliate ourselves with create a sort of bubble where you are in or you are out. Outsiders will not be able to fathom what happens on the inside, and they just stop caring, which leads back to the apathy. I cannot claim to understand how the ROTC people survive daily, with their early morning physical trainings, and the standards they have to maintain. Likewise, as a lay member of the student body, I do not understand the traditions and social landscape that is Greek Life. However, I have always strived to understand these institutions, and after three years, I can finally say that I do have an idea of what goes on in those bubbles. I am much more cognizant of my friends and their commitments and I know that they will contribute their

fair share to work once they can. I will not fault someone for missing a group meeting because of an important commitment. Unfortunately, I have seen so many people that are quick to make judgment without obtaining the facts first, and being totally oblivious to the situations of others. As the future leaders of society, seeing as how we will all have a college education, it will be our job and responsibility to be aware of such things, as many of us will end up in a position where we will have to oversee others. Lastly, there was, and still is to a lesser extent, a communication problem across departments, and especially amongst student organizations. So many events and meetings clash with each other that it takes away people from each. It becomes destructive interference rather than constructive. I have heard plans to improve communication, and I sincerely hope that they work. If everybody was a little bit more connected, and cared a little bit more about each other, the campus would be a much nicer place to live in.
But it’s not at all bad. Really. Now that we’ve gotten all the negative stuff out of the way, I must balance it and cover everything that makes this school great, and to bring back into the spotlight what it is we have; days of endlessly pounding away at homework and exams can cause us to forget the simpler joys we have here at the Daytona Beach Campus. First and possibly most importantly, is the proximity of the beach (Sorry Prescott!) Very few schools are this close to the beach, providing an escape for the weary souls to get in touch with Mother Nature. People from all over the world pay good money to have a beach holiday, while we have it right on our doorstep. Even if you are not a beach person, it would be a shame not to utilize it while we have our few years here. However, I am fully confident that all the seniors who have not been to the beach in months will be spending many days there in the near future as our families force us to bring them to the shores. Next off, the quality and passion of the professors have impressed me semester after semester. While not
every professor has been a stellar teacher, I have never found a professor to be impatient or unwilling to help when either my teammates or myself have had questions. The professors are here to help you learn, and most of them (if not all) want to see you succeed in your endeavors. The friends you make here provide the basis for a professional network in the future. I am referring to those friends that you can trust, and who believe in you, and not the random person who you always sit next to in class and occasionally see at parties. I cannot speak for the non-engineering majors, but I see so many friendships solidified through working late hours in the various Lehman Labs, and I know that these will be the same people I will be calling once I need help in the industry. You hear so many stories about how Embry-Riddle graduates help each other outside in the industry and I believe that a lot of it is due to the unique makeup that is this school. Let’s be honest, the Riddle Ratio sucks, and not just for the guys. The
girls get hit on endlessly, and cannot even try to be friends with someone without having their signals being misinterpreted. I think that this is something everyone understands by the time they graduate, and whether you accept it for what it is, or try to fight it, everyone understands. When you go out and meet other Embry-Riddle graduates, there is a certain silent understanding that the college experience we all went through was miles away from your average collegian. In my head, I play many “what-if” scenarios as to how my life would have been had I picked a different college. It is a futile exercise because it is impossible to know, and I look at to what I have gained here, especially in a small college environment. I have gotten to know many professors on an individual level, simply because classes are 20-40 people. I learned to surf, something that I did not think possible before coming here. This campus is also so close to excellent entertainment, and the proximity to Disneyworld, Universal Studios,
and Miami mean that you choose whatever you fancy. Lastly, I joined the newspaper, not knowing what to expect, and ended up leading this team of dedicated and tireless workers to put out a publication every week, even if not everybody reads it. As my last issue as Editor-in-Chief, on one hand I am glad to finally be able to take a break from all the responsibility, but I know that I will miss the friends and unique environment of the Avion. The newspaper has afforded me many great opportunities that I never dreamed possible, including standing on top of the VAB for a rocket launch at Kennedy Space Center, and an aerobatic flight as part of Wings & Waves. This school is a great school, and I have friends who have travelled the country to participate in conferences, Lunabot competitions, and created jet dragsters. All of these would not have happened to them if they did not get involved, and despite the slogan “get involved” already being beaten to death, it does hold true.
Good luck, and all the best We all came here for a reason, be it to be pilots, engineers, meteorologists, or any other major because of the reputation of the school. Every student here is infinitely more driven and passionate than the average student in your average college and we should be proud of the school and be more engaged with it, and be daily aware that we are attending “The Harvard of the Skies.” A common mindset of many students is “I am here for my degree and to get good grades, everything else is irrelevant.” While that cannot be faulted, as it gives Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University the industry name and recognition we rightly deserve, it is a little sad that we aren’t a little closer to a typical college outside the classroom. Unless there is a change in mindset amongst the student body, the pattern of attending every event as a freshman and subsequently attending less and less events will continue to happen. For all of you that have a few more years in this place, make an effort to be more engaged and involved. Whether you are aware of it or not, the years will pass by quickly, and it is totally up to you what you want to have to show for it at the end.
For my fellow graduating seniors, it has been a tremendous ride for me, juggling the responsibilities of this newspaper with classes, and a lame attempt at a social life. I will be forever grateful for the support and honest feedback given, as college is a place to learn, and not be afraid to take criticism. To my peers, I will remember the late nights of pizzas and projects, and I wish you all the best of luck in finding your dream job, attending the graduate school of your choice, or whatever it is your future holds. ~ Peter Tan, DB ‘13

The Avion,
April 16, 2013
Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Editor On March 14, the Embry-Riddle Chapter of Women in Aviation traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to attend the 24th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference; the trip was made possible thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Development Office as well as the generous donations from sponsors. Every spring, members of the Embry-Riddle chapter who have been involved throughout the fall semester and are interested in attending, are given the opportunity to attend the conference. While at conference, members have the opportunity to attend workshops and sessions which focus on current aviation trends and topics. Members can go to educational sessions which will teach them aviation industry standards and practices or professional development workshops which teach and hone skills that
make attendees more marketable when searching for jobs. Aside from attending seminars, members also have the chance to speak to aviation leaders and professionals. At conference members can meet and talk with former Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron and Women Airforce Service Pilots members who can share their experiences as Airforce as well as aviation professionals to members still in school. Every year the WASP hold a session where their members that were able to attend take the opportunity to share their experiences
with an audience. In addition to workshops there is also a large exhibit hall where many major companies have booths set up and representatives present to answer questions. The exhibit hall allows attendees to network with companies like Boeing, Delta, Airbus, Southwest, etc., and for companies to look for prospective job and internship candidates. The companies in the exhibit hall know that attendees support women in the aviation industry and are happy to talk with anyone. Attending Women in Aviation Conference is not all work there are plenty of opportunities to socialize. There are many
luncheons, mixers, and dinners that allow attendees to mingle and network with other members of the aviation community; what makes this conference different from others is that the attendees there are all committed to supporting women in aviation and there are large numbers women in attendance but men are always welcome to attend as well. At the end of the conference, during the Awards Banquet, companies award hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for certifications, licenses, type ratings, and aid to all the scholarship winners who applied in the fall. After the day is over members are able to relax and explore the city where the conference is being held. Traveling to a different city allows members to experience the different foods and culture other cities have to offer while discovering about a different part of the U.S.; unfortunately next year’s conference will be held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort so there won’t be too many new things to find for attending members. Join Embry-Riddle’s Women in Aviation Chapter this Tuesday night at Five Guys on ISB to help raise money for St. Jude.
Open House IV: the return of Saturn Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Editor This Friday April 19, the EmbryRiddle Amateur Astronomy Club and the Physics Department will be hosting the final Astronomy night of the semester which will be featuring the return of Saturn to the night sky. Friday’s open house will run from 8 P.M. to 11 P.M., weather permitting, behind the Lehman Building. Astronomy open house is an excellent way for anyone who is inter-
ested to learn about the cosmos and the night sky. By attending Astronomy Open House, you can take a tour of the solar system with Zack at twenty times the speed of light and learn about all the different planets while taking a stroll through campus. Or, come by and listen to Billy explain the legends behind the names of the constellations and how 80% of problems in Greek
mythology are because Zeus couldn’t keep it in his toga. Friday night you’ll be able to see Saturn in the night sky through several telescopes well as go inside and look through the telescope in the observatory. Inside the dome you’ll see objects in
the night sky at resolutions that will let you pick out the bands on Jupiter as well as use the dome’s acoustics to mess with people as they step up to look through the telescope. If you are interested in attending Astronomy Open House I would go after 9:30 since it will be fairly dark out, the tours are ongoing, and most parents will have left with their kids by then; however the line for the observatory will remain fairly long from the start until around 10:20. Come to astronomy night to get your astronomy, space, or astrophysics questions answered or just stargaze through a telescope.
Student Life ‘Tis the season for sunscreen Page

Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Editor Spring is finally here despite a cold front that’s been lingering over Daytona for the past month and a half like mold to a Lehman Building airblade; the sun finally decided to start making occasional appearances in the sky creating a necessity for sunscreen when going outdoors for more than 30 minutes. Despite the fact that most people in the world have been out in the sun their entire lives, except for Seattle and England where the sky is in an eternal state of overcast, most people aren’t aware of how to properly use sunscreen to protect them. Sunscreen is made to protect your skin from UV radiation and reduce the risk of skin cancer. UV radiation consists of three different types of wavelengths UVA (longwave), UVB (shortwave), and UVC which does not penetrate the ozone layer. Most people don’t think they have to worry about UV radiation except on sunny days during the summer; however, the sun outputs UV radiation year-round and cloud cover only reflects 10% of UV radiation back into space.

than it would if no protection was used. SPF 15 can block 93% of UVB whereas SPF 30 and 50 block 97% and 98% respectively if they are applied correctly. Though relatively easy to obtain and use, most people aren’t aware of how to use sunscreen effectively or what to look for when buying it. The recommended sunscreen to use is one that is broad spectrum, which will block both UVA and UVB rays, and at least SPF 15, though fairer skinned redheads may want to consider a higher SPF. In order to get the most out of your sunscreen and keep yourself from getting burned apply 30 minutes before going out to allow your skin to fully absorb the sunscreen and use 3 tablespoons (most people only use 1 tablespoon). If you’re out in the water consider a water resistant sunscreen otherwise the water will remove the top layers faster and you will need to reapply sooner than the recommended 2 hours. Now that you know the science behind sunscreen The Avion would like to encourage you to go out and enjoy the sun this summer but be safe; for more information on skin cancer and UV radiation protection visit the skin cancer foundation’s website at skincancer.org.
Beijing’s imminent air traffic management crisis Nathan Racine
Guest Reporter “Nathan Racine is an ATM research and analysis intern in Shanghai, China for AviaTek. He is also a student at Daytona Beach campus.” The skies over China are more crowded than ever. With air traffic over China increasing by an average of 8% annually (CAPA, 2011), air traffic controllers throughout China face the daunting task of managing the seemingly relentless increases in air traffic. Beijing controllers need more air routes, enhanced procedures, well-designed STARs, and superior technology. Among these controllers are those at China’s busiest airport, Beijing Capital City International Airport (PEK). Beijing Capital City International Airport recently replaced London as the largest hub in the world. PEK is also the world’s second busiest airport by passenger volume after Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport(CAPA, 2013). Additionally, according to CAAC air traffic records analyzed by Avia-Tek (shown in the picture), PEK has experienced exceptionally rapid passenger growth throughout the previous 10 years. The CAAC expects air traffic demand for the Beijing area to rise far beyond PEK’s capacity. In 2015 they plan to open an additional airport, Daxing Airport, 50km outside Beijing. Daxing Airport will be capable of servicing an additional 120 million passengers(CAPA, 2013). The anticipated rise in air traffic over Beijing raises the question: can China’s air traffic management structure manage the rising traffic demand of the Beijing area? According to Beijing Approach Controllers interviewed by Avia-Tek, the answer to this question is no. Air Traffic Management (ATM) in China is plagued by airspace limitations. The PLA (People’s Liberation Army) maintains complete control of the airspace in China. The airspace for civil avi-
ation use is defined by narrow corridors and a very limited number of air routes across China. The small amount of airspace available for civil use limits air traffic capacity. Furthermore, controllers claim there are no plans to update the technology or procedures utilized by controllers in Beijing. As a result, the lack of succession in ATM technologies utilized by Beijing controllers restricts the prospective efficiency of the available airspace. The political and technological boundaries of Beijing’s airspace structure limit future airspace capacity growth. The inefficiencies of the air traffic management structure over Beijing are made obvious through the pilot’s perspective. According to pilot interviews conducted by Avia-Tek, the average approach into PEK can be summarized by: 1) extremely premature descents, 2) constant requests for the aircraft to make a orbit for spacing, long holds and, 3) frequent amendments to STARs (standard terminal arrival) clearances to the extent that the STAR fails to relinquish pilot and controller workloads. Through the pilot’s perspective one can see that PEK’s air traffic management structure is in need of vital improvements. How can Beijing’s current air traffic management structure handle the forecasted traffic of Daxing Airport? To put this imminent crisis in perspective, Beijing approach handled 81 million passengers last year (Trentmann, 2012), and the CAAC expects Daxing Airport to handle a potential 70 million passengers by 2025 (CAPA, 2013). Thus, the controllers servicing the second busiest airport in the world will be expected to handle the current traffic demand of PEK plus the equivalent of 2 Heathrow airports. It is a task that Beijing’s ATM simply is not equipped to handle because the airspace is too constricted, the procedures (such as STARs) are ineffective, and the technology utilized by controllers is reaching the limits of its flight management capacity. The Beijing area needs more than just
PEK Passenger Growth Compared to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Sources: CAAC 2001-2011 airport data report analyzed by Avia-Tek research analysis a new airport to handle the forecasted air traffic burden. It requires serious reform before additional air traffic can be efficiently managed. Beijing controllers need more air routes, enhanced procedures,
well-designed STARs, and superior technology. Without this, the relentless increase in air traffic over Beijing will only lead to further inefficiencies and more delayed flights.

Eagles win series opener, 5-3 St. Thomas EMBRY-RIDDLE

Ryan Mosher
ERAU Athletics The eighth-ranked Embry-Riddle baseball team started their crucial Sun Conference series against the No. 19 St. Thomas Bobcats off on the right foot Saturday evening, downing St. Thomas 5-3 with an eighth inning rally. The Eagles (33-11, 16-3) also clinched a berth to the 2013 Sun Conference Tournament earlier in the day when USCB lost to Ave Maria, joining St. Thomas (30-14, 16-6), Ave Maria and Webber International as four of the six teams that will take part in the six-team event (Apr. 30 - May 4) in Ft. Myers, Fla. The Eagles and Bobcats conclude their three-game set tomorrow, Sunday, Apr. 14, with a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m., an hour earlier than originally scheduled because of potential
rain later in the afternoon. A pair of lefties took the hill for their respective teams as Michael Arostegui battled Kevin Maloney in the early going. Arostegui got hit around by the Eagles in the first few frames, but was able to strand two runners in both the first and second by getting ground balls that resulted in force outs at second base. The Bobcats struck first in the contest when Nicholas Perez singled through the right side of the infield in the top of the third, scoring Nico Hernandez from third and moving Adam Duarte just 90 feet away from home. Hernandez walked to begin the inning and Duarte reached on a fielder’s choice bunt in the next at-bat in which Maloney elected to try to get the lead runner at second which Hernandez was able to beat out to put runners at first and second with no outs. With runners on the corners Maloney minimized the damage by picking off Perez trying to take second and striking out Giovanni Zayas at the dish for the final out of the frame. Arostegui breezed through the homehalf of the third before Adam Cellini began the fourth with an infield single, and his courtesy runner, Connor Williams moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Jordan Johnson collected his second hit of the day with an infield hit to
short and Liam Goodall tied the game with a sacrifice fly to center that scored Williams. STU jumped back in front with a single run in the fifth, taking a 2-1 lead when Ozney Guillen doubled to left center to bring in Hernandez after he singled to left and moved to second on a groundout. In the bottom of the fifth the Eagles drove Arostegui from the game, scoring twice on four hits and two errors to take a 3-2 lead. Kyle Chastain beat out an infield single and when the third baseman’s throw to first was high, moved to second on the error. Colt Hankamer followed with a single to center, putting Eagles on first and third with no outs. A failed pickoff attempt by Arostegui allowed Chastain to touch home and moved Hankamer to second before he scored on Jeff Lemon’s RBI single to right center. Maloney stranded two Bobcats in the sixth before Jon Rapose relieved him to start the seventh, facing just four batters in a near-perfect inning of work. Rene Lozano, who entered for Arostegui back in the fifth, kept the Eagles off-balance through the sixth and seventh, and his team was able to knot the score in the top of the eighth when Brandon Canizares singled down the left field line with two outs, scoring Edwin Rolon from second.
Mike Gragilla recorded a double to right center after Liam Goodall reached first on a fielder’s choice in the last of the eighth, causing the Bobcats to play their infield in for Jordan Romero. The junior shortstop drilled a line drive through the left side of the infield, scoring Goodall from third and moving pinch runner David Belardes up from second. Chastain followed suit in the following at-bat, singling to third as Belardes scored, giving the Eagles a 5-3 cushion. Eric Green earned his seventh save of 2013, but thanks to an Eagle error, had to work around a few base runners. Green hit Adam Duarte with a pitch with one out recorded before Guillen reached on an error, but again the Eagles were able to catch a break when STU elected to try a double steal and Cellini easily threw out Guillen at second for the second out of the frame. Perez walked before moving to second on a wild pitch, but Green was able to get Zayas to strike out swinging to preserve the 5-3 victory. Ronnie Lozada (1-2) earned the win, throwing the eighth inning for the Eagles after Maloney pitched six innings, allowing three hits and two runs and Rapose tossed an inning in relief. Johnson finished 3-for-3 for the Blue and Gold while Chastain and Lemon each had two hits and an RBI for the Eagles.

ERAU Athletics The Blue and Gold took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, stealing a run on a double-steal. Samantha Smith singled to put runners on the corners with two outs, and on the first pitch of Alex Wood’s at-bat, Smith took off for second. Once the catcher’s throw went through to second base, Haleigh Lewis took off for home plate, scoring without a throw. Ave Maria struck back to tie it in the bottom half of the frame, scoring a run on a bunt single after Marlie Braddy tripled to lead off the inning. In the fourth, Wood hit a sharp grounder that glanced off of the third baseman, allowing Lewis to score from
second base on the play, giving the Eagles a 2-1 lead. Jessica Osteen doubled the lead with a leadoff home run in the sixth inning, putting ERAU ahead, 3-1. The lead quickly evaporated in the bottom of the sixth when back-to-back two-out singles scored a pair of runs for the Gyrenes, knotting the game at 3-3. The score remained tied until the eighth inning when Lewis drove in Krizzy Menez, who was running for Robi Zimmerman, who led off the inning with a double. Alexis Estrada held AMU scoreless in the bottom half, stranding Gyrenes at first and second to end the game. Estrada (7-8) threw all eight innings to get the win, giving up three runs on nine hits, walking one and striking out three. Lewis finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, while Samantha Smith and Dee Espinosa each collected two hits. Emily Lemin (6-2) pitched a complete game, giving up four runs (three earned) on nine hits, walking two and striking out two. Brandi Griswold was 3-for-4 with a run scored and two RBIs and Braddy was 2-for-4 with a run scored.

Sarah Huey put the Eagles in front early in the second game, singling home Espinosa with the game’s first run in the top of the first. Espinosa drove home Ariel Brayer with a sac fly in the second, increasing the lead to 2-0. Ave Maria took advantage of an error by Lewis in the fourth, scoring three runs, two unearned, to take a 3-2 lead. The Blue and Gold answered back with four runs in the fifth, keyed by a two-run double from Espinosa followed by an RBI double from Savannah Smith that put ERAU ahead, 6-3. The Gyrenes added another unearned run in the fifth to trim the lead to 6-4, but the Eagles answered once again with a run in the next frame when Samantha Smith singled home Brayer to extend the lead back to three runs at 7-4.
Zimmerman set down six of the last seven batters she faced to close out the 7-4 win for the Eagles, finishing off the sweep. Estrada (8-8) got the start and pitched four innings to get the win, allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits with one strikeout, no walks and one hit batter. Zimmerman tossed the final three innings, allowing one unearned run on one hit, walking one and striking out six to earn the first save in ERAU softball history. The Eagles pounded out 18 hits in the game, led by Wood, Huey and Samantha Smith, who all went 3-for-4. Espinosa was 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBIs, while Brayer was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Beth Vaccarezza (3-6) took the loss for AMU, pitching all seven innings, allowing seven runs on 18 hits and two hit batters without recording a walk or a strikeout. Braddy and Tori Thompson each finished 1-for-3 with an RBI as the Gyrenes mustered just four hits in the game. The Eagles return home for the final two doubleheaders of the 2013 regular season next weekend. ERAU hosts St. Thomas on Saturday, Apr. 20 and Northwood on Sunday, Apr. 21. Both doubleheaders are slated for 1 p.m. starts.

Jurassic Park 3D
Jurassic Park 3D is a re-release of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 sci-fi masterpiece based on the novel by Michael Crichton. Although it seems like 90% of movies nowadays or 3D re-releases, Jurassic Park 3D is worthy of your 11 bucks at the theatre. Jurassic Park is a yet-to-open “theme park” dreamed up by John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) where Dinosaurs are cloned from fossilized mosquito blood
and placed in a zoo-like setting. After a tragic accident between an employee and a raptor, Hammond invites paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) to visit the park and approve it so Hammond’s lawyer doesn’t shut it down. Joined by mathematician and chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) and Hammond’s grandchildren (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards), the team is led around the park and mesmerized by the re-existence of prehistoric creatures. Their time in the park takes a tragic turn however, when a tropical storm hits during their tour and scheming park system programmer Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) shuts off the power in the park. The group is then faced with escaping the park as hungry dinosaurs run rampant on the island. Even for 1993, the visual effects in this movie are excellent, and are only enhanced by the addition of 3D. The most intense scenes are even more intense, and the camera pans of the fields of dinosaur herds are even more beautiful. The 3D adds a realistic element to the movie that was missing in the original. For the people who have not seen the movie altogether or have only seen it on the small-screen. The big-screen and sound system of the movie theatre adds something that you just can’t get on your television. Instead of just watching the
ripples in the puddles as the Tyrannosaurus Rex moves closer, you can feel the vibrations, and the roars are so loud that you could be right there with the park crew. Jurassic Park is an untouchable classic, with a powerful warning about taking science too far. Yet, if you’re just looking for
from alpaca wool; if you’re not looking to buy, you can always just look at the pair of alpacas they bring to the market. Although not widely advertised in order to draw more crowds the farmers market will have some entertainment or deals on produce each week, right now corn is in season so the farmers market is offering 4 ears of corn with any produce purchase. The produce you will find at the farmers market is the freshest you will get without actually picking yourself; most of the produce for sale was picked the day before the farmers market. Whatever you’re looking for this farmers market has something for everyone; for women, there is a purse shop as well as an Origami Owl booth which sells custom made jewelry; for guys there is a cigar booth and fresh produce for sale, and girls love guys who knows how to cook with fresh ingredients. After you’re done shopping at the farmer’s market you can walk over to the shops or restaurants at The Pavilion or enjoy a movie at Hollywood theaters.
Floyd Perkinson
a thriller where some people get eaten, you will enjoy this movie too. Although the 3D was stunning, I am still a lover of the classic and would watch the movie in 2D any day. With its well-done filmography and the addition of an extra dimension, Jurassic Park 3D is a must see with 4.5/5 jets.

It’s Saturday morning and you’re tired of going to the Daytona Flea Market and dealing with the same crowds and the same items you’ve become accustomed to seeing; so what do you do? Why not go to the Farmer’s Market at The Pavilion in Port Orange. The Farmers Market at The Pavilion runs every Saturday from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. or 0900 to 1300 for the military inclined; this time around The Pavilion’s farmer’s market will be sticking around for the whole year. Coming from a farm back ground, Bill Graeber used to sell sweet corn as a child from the back of a pickup truck at a gas station; Bill and his business partner saw an opportunity to get local entrepreneurs to make their products and fresh produce available in an quality way. Currently Bill and his partner are in the process of getting more vendors licensed and are looking for even more vendors to come to the Pavilion’s Farmer’s Market in the future. “Our Intent is to have an upscale farmers market… We’re looking for hydroponic and organic produce, and homemade bakers”-Bill Graeber At the Pavilion’s farmer’s market you will find a variety of vendors selling things from baked good to fresh produce, jewelry, and specialty goods, each with its own unique twist. For an unusual aromatic experience, stop by the candle booth where the candles are made from soybean wax and will give your room a nice aroma. Dawn’s Delights offers amazing cupcakes that rival Charlene’s with unique flavors like Maple French Toast topped with bacon, Key Lime, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Chantilly Ridge Alpacas has a variety of items like teddy bears, slippers, socks, etc. made

Evil Dead
Evil Dead is a reboot of the Evil Dead franchise started in 1981 by a horror film of the same name starring Bruce Campbell and directed by Sam Raimi. The new film was produced by Raimi and Campbell as part of a planned trilogy, which will remake the original trilogy and then produce a sequel titled Army of Darkness 2 to the final film of the original franchise, Army of Darkness, as well as tie in the new remakes with the old storyline. A reboot and a sequel to the original franchise, Evil Dead follows Mia, Jane Levy, and the events that befell her when she went to the same cabin as the original film; the film is an exercise in whether a film can switch genres and still be liked by its fans. The new Evil Dead film stands apart from the previous franchise as it abandons the previous films’ comedic style and focuses solely on the gruesome and the macabre. Bruce Campbell’s comedic relief in the previous films help to make
The Evil Dead the cult classic it is; if you have not seen this movie either go watch the entire trilogy right now. Evil Dead doesn’t lighten the mood like the previous films, instead it simply trudges on with such gore, that it makes this film an excellent horror flick as good as the original. After watching this film you will understand why you should never go into the wood wearing a sundress or trust trees unless they are of the giving variety. Evil Dead did not make use CGI which is likely a major part of why the film was so good giving the characters actual objects to motivate and add reference. Though the film doesn’t use CGI, it does use plenty of filmmaking tricks to snatch the interest the target audience, as a quarter of the film was basically the lead ups to an upskirt shot. Teasing, a reinvented story, and a deviation in genres make Evil Dead a movie that in line with the original but also manages to stand on its own with 5 jets out of 5. If you’ve seen the original films and are not a fan of horror it’s okay to pass up this film, but if you don’t have an aversion to horror, then Evil Dead is a movie you need to see in addition to all the original Evil Dead films.

Siam Spice somewhat lacking in spice Floyd Perkinson Staff Reporter
Service
Atmosphere
Food
Price
Overall
Siam Spice is a Thai restaurant located on Beach Street on the opposite side of Tia Cori’s and Rhokkoh’s Frozen Yogurt, the restaurant has been around for several years and is always busy but never I’ve never seen it full, so you can go anytime without worrying about a wait. The restaurant has many options available but for those worrying about the overwhelming power of Thai cooking, Siam Spice caters to American palates.
Once you walk through the door into the restaurant, Siam Spice offers a very classy Asian décor with an atmosphere perfectly suited for a date as well as a dinner out with friends. The restaurant offers a view of the Halifax as well as an option to lower some shades if the sun is shining at the wrong angle. The menu offers many entre options and the staff are very friendly and attentive, even being concerned when I unintentionally over-spiced my meal, but not so much that I’m being interrupted every time I try to take a bite. The Thai tea is good with a good ratio of sweetness to bitterness but the Thai coffee tasted very much like mocha to me with hints of chocolate that I did not like, I prefer my Thai coffee sweet with a rich black flavor. The tom yum soup was made with prawns and was not spicy at all which leads me to believe that it was tom yam kung the tourist version of the soup. The soup lacked the characteristic fishy broth flavor and consistency which would disappoint anyone looking for an authentic experience but would do fine for the palate of an American or anyone trying Thai food for the first time, provided they were not allergic to shellfish. The roasted duck was prepared quickly and tasted fine, but it lacked the characteristic spice which is the essence of Thai food; it was cooked well, but it’s nothing that will make your mouth water at the thought or make you fight over the last piece. The spicy red sauce will do more than fine to modify the taste of your meal for an American tolerance but for a
worldly palate it might as well be ketchup; however, unless you want to melt your ears from the inside out stay away from the spicy powder. After dinner the desert menu offers a few unique items you won’t find elsewhere as well as the familiar cheesecake and fried banana. Right now mangoes are in season so it is the best time to order the stick rice with mango for dessert, which is a combination of fresh sliced mango and a cooked and sweetened rice concoction that uses coconut milk and tastes stupendous; this is the item I’ve been looking for, which will make your mouth water at
the mention of it, and have you coming back to Siam Spice, if only for dessert. After you’re done and your wallet is somewhat lighter, feel free to walk outside and take a stroll down to the garden plaza at the intersection of ISB or walk alongside the grass and the Halifax, but remember that there is a club a few yards away so weekend may not be the best time to go for an after-dinner walk. Though Siam Spice offers a nice dining experience, the lack of spice and flavor in the food which is quintessential to Thai cooking makes this a restaurant of only 3 jet out of 5, suited for soft, meek palates.

Tequila is made from the blue agave Agave tequilana grown in the highlands of the Mexican state of Jalisco. The plant consists of the piña or heart, the leaves, and the quiote or stalk which is cut off to allow the piña to grow larger; once the plant reaches the right chemical composition around the twelfth year the piña is harvested for production. The large serrated leaves of the agave are cut off and the piña is baked, mashed, and distilled into tequila to be aged in oak barrels. Blanco or silver tequila is aged less
Tequila Rating
than two months and bottled after distillation; reposado is aged less than a year; añejo is aged at least a year but no more than 3; extra añejo is aged at least 3 years.
How to drink Tequila
Tequila is usually drunk straight, never chilled, and should always say “100% de agave”. Blanco may be drunk in the traditional way know as a bandera by alternating sips from shot glasses of blanco tequila, lime juice, and sangrita. Sangrita is a Mexican drink with a watermelon and grenadine base which should NEVER be substituted for tomato juice. Higher quality tequilas should simply be drunk straight or with a side glass of sangrita. The best tequilas to drink are Avión Añejo followed by Maestro Dobel Tequila.
Taking Tequila Shots
After some journalistic research I found
that the tequila shot glasses made from rose salt are merely a novelty item and terrible way to drink take tequila shots. Salt shot glasses are an excellent way to ruin the flavor of the tequila and would serve better to use as special cooking salt. To take a shot first breath out, then take the shot, lick the salt, bite the lime, then breathe in. The best tequilas for taking shots are 1800 Reposado and Patron Silver since you won’t be spending time tasting the tequila.
How to make the best Maragarita cocktails
Margaritas are made from a mixture of tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup. The International Bartenders Association recommends 7 parts tequila, 4 parts orange liqueur, and 3 parts lime juice but for this article the proportions used were 3 parts tequila, 2 parts orange liqueur, 1 part lime juice,

and ½ part simple syrup. To make simple syrup, simply combine water with sugar in a jar at a ratio between 1:1 to 1:1.5 simple right? If you want salt on the rim of the glass rub the outside of the rim with a lime wedge then dip the glass in the salt. Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake, strain the margarita into the glass, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve neat. After some testing and experimentation, from the results of the research I was able to determine that a simple syrup ratio of 1.5 or greater would yield too much undiluted sugar. The best orange liqueurs were found to be Cointreau Noir and Grand Marnier, but if you want to impress guests with a unique margarita unlike anything else, substituting Solerno will add an exotic and mysterious flavor. After much experimentation and an unexplainable memory loss about the last few data samples, the data speaks for itself showing that the best margarita is made with fresh squeezed lime juice, Grand Marnier, and Avión Añejo. For questions regarding the data measurements, or the algorithms used in normalizing the data, or questions about this research stop by the Avion office in the Student Center.

as an excuse for a spinoff from the 2009 so they don’t have to have returning cast. If you were expecting to see a film starring Channning Tatum because of all the trailers and posters featuring him, Paramount was lying to you. The only good thing to say about G.I. Joe Retaliation is the fact that Tatum is in it for only 5 minutes after which he is killed off and the film get rid of a large talentless burden. Almost immediately after Tatum’s death you feel the acting skill in the film improve by 1000% but realize that the only character reprising his role is Storm Shadow. I don’t know in what world replacing a cute redhead with a brunette seems like a good idea but perhaps this was part of Cobra Commander’s plot to ransom the world. Though Adrianne Palicki can fill the role of eye candy for which she was cast, she cannot replace the cute redhead of whom we saw so little in G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra. The biggest failure of Retaliation is that there is no original thought in the film. G.I. Joe Retaliation is a spectacle of a film which tries to imitate both Transformers
and The Dark Knight films, switching back and forth between the styles of Christopher Nolan and Michal Bay without developing its own franchise style. The 3D effects of Retaliation were made as if the movie had been intended for a prepubescent audience despite the fact that most movie goers who remember G.I. Joe from their childhood are in their twenties. The film completely ignores the purpose of 3D effects which is to add some realism and depth to the movie and goes for the primitive lets-have-a-bunch-of-things-flyat-your-eyes to wow five-year-olds. The film’s 3D effects serve to annoy more than to enjoy making them hardly worth the additional 3D surcharge. The film in general was a ridiculous disaster and I often found myself thinking about the stupidity of the plot rather than engrossed in the action; which makes G.I. Joe a film barely worth 2 jets out of 5. Despite how great G.I. Joe was as a cartoon in the 80s, G.I. Joe Retaliation is a terrible film I recommend never watching and expect it to be nominated for several Razzie Awards in 2014.
revolves around a married couple moving into a possessed house after adopting 3 young kids. Jodi (Ashley Tisdale, High School Musical ) begins to notice strange behavior in the kids and the house. Her husband Dan (Simon Rex, Scary Movie 3,4 ) disbelieves her at first until things quickly begin to escalate. Multiple previous horror movie plots clash well to make an interesting ending. Ashley Tisdale makes her first appearance in this franchise, replacing Anna Faris, and proceeds to do a good job. Charlie Sheen, Mac Miller and Snoop Lion also make some small appearances, which were all surprisingly funny. The movie, like all of the Scary Movie franchise, pokes fun at the major horror blockbusters from the previous years. In this particular case, the films Evil Dead, Mama, the Paranormal Activity movies, Planet of the Apes and Black Swan were targeted. Additionally, some smaller shots were pointed at Cabin in the Woods, Insidious and Sinister that horror fans might notice. These kinds
of movies are often hard to accurately review as they are very dependent on each person’s particular sense of humor. The style of jokes was very similar to the other Scary Movies being crude and violent, the main difference being this movie is more current. Overall, I give Scary Movie 5, 3/5 Jets. The movie losses points for some tired jokes and a limited audience. Needless to say, for the average college student, Scary Movie 5 should be a go.

Breaking the technicolor line
42
Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Manager 42 is a biographical film about Jackie Robinson making it onto the Brooklyn
Dodgers and winning the Pennant in 1947. The film stars Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey, the man who signed Jackie Robinson and broke the color barrier in baseball. While watching 42 I couldn’t help but be annoyed by Harrison Ford’s voice which was deeper and huskier. Through watching almost all of Harrison Ford’s film I’ve become accustomed to his usual Illinois accent which was missing in the film, leading to a mismatch between the screen and my memory of his voice. Despite the strange accent, Ford delivers a performance characteristic of his skill and long list of successes. Although the film is a biographical film and some historical background must be given, 42 opens up with a narrative that makes feels like I’m watching a video in history class back in middle school. Most people that are likely to go see 42 are aware of the segregation background of the United States and who the first man to
break through baseball’s color barrier was, so the narrative at the beginning of the film could have been shortened by a lot and shown rather than told. 42 shows a powerful and inspirational story about the beginning of Jackie Robinson’s role in baseball and the civil rights movement. The film show part of the struggle Robinson faced as he entered baseball as the first black baseball player. Despite the way in which the film showcases Robinson’s early career, after watching 42, the audience can’t help but notice the director’s hostility towards Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, going out of his way to attack both cities. Though 42 is a great film about the triumphs of Jackie Robinson over segregation in the 40’s, the film bats an average of 3 jets out of 5. 42 is a must see film for any residents of Volusia County and anyone who would like to see one of the great moments in baseball history, which I imagine is not scores of people.
