ERRSA kicks off the spring semester Catherine Agosto ERRSA
The Embry-Riddle Resident Student Association (ERRSA) has a wide variety of events for the Spring semester that everyone will be able to enjoy. It all started on Tuesday Jan. 22, with the ERRSA social/info session directly followed by an 80’s Movie Night. At the event, residents were able to meet the ERRSA executive board and some of the general board and ask questions about the organization. After the info session everyone enjoyed some pizza and watched Back to the Future. The movie portion of
the night is a part of a weekly event that ERRSA hosts throughout the semester. Every month has a different theme and location, and on Tuesday nights ERRSA will be hosting a Movie/TV night that corresponds to the months theme. February’s theme is Disney Channel Original Movies and will be hosted in the Apollo first floor lounge, March’s Tuesday nights will be showing different episodes from Toonami in Doolittle, and April will be legen-(wait for it)-dary with How I Met Your Mother in the McKay first floor lounge. All movie nights will be held from 7-10p.m. ERRSA also started their monthly Mega
Game Night event on Saturday, Jan. 26. The event was held in the Student Village and included games like a LAN Party, Volleyball, Gaming Systems, board games, corn hole, poker and many more. There was free food throughout the night, as is the norm for all ERRSA events. Some upcoming ERRSA events include the last 80’s themed movie night on Tuesday, Jan. 29 in TC203 (the room across from the ERRSA office). Touch-NGo and ERRSA will also be teaming up to host a Superbowl event. ERRSA will also be hosting a Movie Contest, where residents can create their own five-minute trailer for a show/movie.
All movie submissions must be sent as a YouTube link to dbrsapc@erau.edu. On February 9, all video submissions will be shown and the residents who attend on which movie they thought was best. The winner will have the opportunity to create their show/movie and have it put on ERRSA’s TV channel, Riddle Vision (Channel 33). If you want to know more about ERRSA’s upcoming events, our rentals, or the organization, feel free to stop by our office on the second floor of the Student Village, TC205. You can also check us out on Connection, Facebook, foursquare, and errsa.com.
Jet dragster debuts at Turkey Run Elaine Larsen
Press Release Larsen Motorsports of Daytona Beach debuted the new Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster at a celebration Friday, Nov. 23, at 1 p.m. during the 39th annual Turkey Rod Run at Daytona International Speedway. Rookie Marisha Falk, who will drive the new car in the 2013 season, and fellow race car driver and team co-owner Elaine Larsen signed autographs at the unveiling. Also on hand for the unveiling were several Embry-Riddle student interns who apply their specialized skills on a daily basis at the Larsen High Performance Vehicles Research & Development Center in Daytona Beach. The all-new dragster custom built for Marisha has a number of new innovations and has an entirely new custom military fighter style blue camouflage paint scheme to salute America’s armed forces around the world. Power comes from a fully afterburning General Electric J-85 turbo-jet engine like used in F-5 fighter aircraft. The ultra-lightweight dragster weighs in at a mere 1250 pounds empty weight giving it
a nearly 4:1 power to weight ratio. Falk’s current 5,000-horsepower hot rod has won three Best Engineered Awards from some of the most prominent sanctioning bodies in the world. It will be retired in two more races at the end of the 2012 season to become a display car in the ticketing lobby of the Daytona International Airport to represent the racing heritage of Daytona Beach. “I’m really excited to get behind the wheel of my new car and start putting some laps on her,” said Marisha. Falk and her Embry-Riddle team will begin conducting private testing of the new car in December in order to prepare to race it beginning in March 2013. “The Thanksgiving Weekend Turkey Rod Run is the perfect place to unveil Embry-Riddle’s new jet dragster,” said Elaine Larsen. “With Daytona International Speedway as the world center of motor sports and Embry-Riddle located right next door, the timing and location could not be better. Larsen Motorsports is a multi-team national professional racing organization specializing in turbine-powered high-per-
formance vehicles based at the developing Embry-Riddle Research and Technology Park in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Larsen Motorsports High Performance Research & Development Center is open to the public Tuesday through Thursday each
week for visitors to tour the fabrication, final assembly and turbine engine labs. Specialized appointments or tour arrangements for large groups can be coordinated by contacting the facility at www.info@ LMSJETS.com.

The ERAU Women’s Ambassadors Heather Smith
Guest Reporter The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus has been plagued with years of not having enough female students. “The female population is so low because our programs mirror their respective industry,” says Eric Wilson of ERAU’s Office of Admissions. In 2010, 770 females received acceptance letters, but only 270 of them enrolled. There have been several programs and organizations to help solve this problem and the newest one has had the biggest impact. It’s called the Women’s Ambassador Program (WAP) which began only a year ago thanks to an idea from Shaesta Waiz, WAP Coordinator. “The goal of this program is based on the initiative for the university to work together to increase the female population at Riddle,” said Waiz. The Women’s Initiative, announced by Dr. John P. Johnson in 2009, aims to increase enrollment of women and their presence in the aviation and aerospace industry around the world. Dr. Johnson has also suggested including more scientific majors such as astronomy, chemistry, and biology under the Arts & Sciences program. The program has helped increase the female population
from 14% to now 19% overall. “Our campus is very female-friendly, despite what the ratio may suggest,” says Wilson, “I mean, due to the size of our student population, there are over 700 females students on this fairly small campus. We don’t seem to get any complaints from them either.” The Women’s Initiative calls for the percentage to jump up to 25% by 2017. “We currently have nine ambassadors at the Daytona Beach campus,” says Waiz on WAP, with 130 alumni also involved. The first thing to do is to recruit more females for campuses in Daytona Beach and Prescott, Arizona. By doing this, WAP has teamed up with several female-related organizations and programs to help promote EmbryRiddle and gain the interest of girls. There are opportunities under the Women’s Initiative to increase the scholarship fund for incoming females such as “Women of Excellence” and other scholarships with organizations such as Society of Women Engineers, Women in Aviation, and Girls with Wings. Just this past summer, girls became familiar with the aeronautical school by attending Girls Exploring Math & Science (GEMS), which is a girls-only camp. There’s also Women in Math camp and a Women in Aviation fun day for middle
school girls. On Women in Aviation Day in March earlier this year, “We teamed up with the Admissions Department and created airplanes out of candy so it was completely edible,” said Waiz. “We purchased enough to make 300 airplanes and within 40 minutes they were all gone. The students loved it!” With these attempts to increase the pop-
ulation, men and women alike are sure to appreciate the change as it will offer Embry-Riddle as a more diverse university. “ We told them all about the opportunities here,” Waiz said. “Our message is that women can do anything. They can be pilots; they can be engineers; they can be mechanics.”

Student Finance Board Is your student organization looking to fundraise? The Student Finance Board is co-sponsoring a fundraising workshop with The Fund for Embry-Riddle and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), FL First Coast Chapter this Wednesday, January 30 at 5:30pm in COB 114. This workshop is open to all EmbryRiddle students, student organizations,
staff, and faculty who are looking to gain specific knowledge on how to fundraise. This workshop goes far beyond how to run a car wash, in that it will teach you how to gain and keep corporate sponsors, properly steward, cultivate, and acknowledge donors, and follow IRS guidelines for your student organization. At last year’s workshop, students learned about new ways to secure funds for their club and went through a multitude of interactive exercises to help achieve this goal. One such exercise involved dividing the
room into two into two groups. One group was a non-profit organization asking for funds to the other group, which was the potential supporting company. One spokesperson was selected from each group and before their peers, were able to create a ‘face-to-face’ solicitation environment setting the tone for a live ask from a non-profit organization seeking funds for their cause. Attendees can also expect to receive a lot of prizes from an array of supporting companies. Make sure to RSVP on the SGA’s facebook or Connection page! We will be serv-
ing pizza and drinks at 5:30pm, with the workshop beginning promptly at 6:00pm. We look forward to seeing you at there! Also, don’t forget that student organization budget packets are available online now and due this Friday at 11:59pm. Download your budget packet from the SGA website. The Finance Board will be available on Tuesday afternoon room to review your budget packet prior to submission. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Contact Joe Anderson at sgatres@erau.edu for more information.
Nominations Jamil Anaguano
COE Representative Academic Committee wishes you a great start to the semester and encourages all of you to be more involved in the two major projects this spring 2013 semester. Scholar of the Month and Students First will help you ignite your immersion with school, classmates and faculty. For the ones who are not familiar with these two programs, the scholar of the month program is an opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to nominate students who excel inside and outside the classroom. Students nominated will be evaluated on their GPA and extracurricular activities. Things to be considered should be class participation, academic excellence, community service, extracurricular involvement, and a general desire to help others. While GPA is an important characteristic of a scholar, it is not always the best representation of their work. As a result, students
who show dramatic improvement in their grades over the last few semesters will also receive consideration. The goal is to find the most well round student, not just the smartest. Therefore, the Academic Committee invites you to go to the SGA website (http://sga.db.erau. edu/services/scholar.php) or to our page on Connections to nominate your peers. Students First is an opportunity for you to show appreciation for the professors who go above and beyond to assist students in success. These professors give of their personal time and maintain a great relationship with students. Any student can nominate any past or present professor by going to the SGA website (http://sga.db.erau.edu/services/ students_first.php) or connection page and writing a short essay describing their experience with that faculty member. Keep in mind that deadlines for both programs are due on Feb. 1, March 1, March 29 and April 12 by 4 p.m. EST.
Progress made Penny Prokopenko
COE Representative If you’ve never heard of the SGA’s Progress Committee, then you definitely will in the near future. With a variety of current projects and a constant influx of new ideas, we will work hard this semester so as to improve the quality of your experience at Embry-Riddle. One of the Progress Committee’s current projects is the Blue Bike program. This service provides students with bicycles to rent for only $5 per semester. This spring, we will receive quite a few new bikes and they will soon be available for rental through the SGA office. Another program of ours is the umbrella program, which provides students with umbrellas to use when walking around campus. Convenient bins are located by most building entrances. This is so you can grab an umbrella, walk to your destination, and leave the umbrella in another bin for another person to use. Our committee will soon be putting out more umbrellas, but it is important to return them to their bins so as to not inconvenience
other students. In the near future, students can look forward to the latest activities and projects that the Progress Committee is finalising. Starting within the next few weeks, we will be putting on Things for Thursday activities in or near the Student Center. Every week, we will provide some sort of activity to help students wind down and have some fun at no cost. You are welcomed and encouraged to submit an SGA suggestion form if you have an idea that you think other students might enjoy. We are also very excited to finally start planning a hammock park that will be located by the Doolittle Annex. Featuring about ten hammocks in proximity to a fire pit, the hammock park will be an excellent place to socialize and relax. This project is still in the works, so definitely check with the SGA for updates. If you would like to become involved with any of our projects, stop by the SGA office in SC 104, or feel free to bring your ideas to our meetings. The Progress Committee meets in the Student Activities Conference Room every Thursday at 12:45 P.M. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions!

Model United Nations win high marks Brittany Novy-Mackey
Model United Nations This has certainly been an exciting semester thus far for the Model United Nations at Embry-Riddle team. This past weekend, the team competed in the Florida Crisis Simulation (FLCS) conference held at the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. This conference pits several notable universities in the southeast United States against one another in order to determine which university best represents the ideals and goals of the United Nations in terms of cooperation and diplomacy. What makes this conference unique, however, is that each committee held at the conference maintains several crises based on historical events. After several weeks of careful research and preparation, team members partook in the actual event and carried home several awards for ERAU including an Honorable Mention by Sid Rai, an Outstanding Delegate award by Michael Gutkowski, and an Outstanding Delegate award by Brittany Novy-Mackey. With high marks achieved in each committee
by Andrew Zack, Arthur Byrnes, Nathan Putira, and John Kincaid, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University was able to bring home the Outstanding Delegation award. Each team member that participated in
this event deserves much praise and celebration in bringing ERAU such prestigious awards and making our university stand on the level other such prestigious institutions that specialize in diplomacy and political science. For those inter-
ested in participating or learning more about diplomacy, international relations, or political science, the Model United Nations at Embry-Riddle team practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 8p.m. in LB269. Congratulations team!
OPINIONS
Riddle hockey fans ruin school’s reputation I was embarrassed and appalled at the rude--indeed crude--behavior of ERAU students at the January 18 hockey game against the University of Miami at the Daytona Ice Hockey Arena. Partially fueled, perhaps, by too many beers and not enough birthdays, many students spent most of the game yelling obscenities at several Miami fans-some with young children--in the stands and at the Miami players on the ice, hanging over the railing to taunt them when they came onto and off of the ice. “F*&# you, Miami!” “You suck, Miami!” Come on, it’s a game, and one the Miami players traveled several hours and 250 miles to play (and they beat us soundly!). These students evidently don’t realize that they represent ERAU at these events. I had to tell several of them several times to be cool and to watch their language, only to be ignored by most of
them. Unbelievable. Not a proud night to be part of the ERAU community. Talking
to a former student on the hockey team after the game, I learned that this is typical
behavior at these games. Grow up, kids. ~Letter to the Editor, Dr. Fleck

Aviation Feature Boeing 787 Dreamliner designers get rude awakening from FAA Page
A6
The Avion, January 29, 2013
New 787s grounded after several malfunctions earlier this month Josh Nutzati
Staff Reporter
The first new model introduced by the Boeing Company since 1995, the 787 has run into a little turbulence on its way into widespread service. Designed as a replacement for the 767, which has been in service since 1982, the 787 Dreamliner offers better fuel efficiency as well as a fuselage largely made from composites materials. The project was announced in 2003 in response to slowing sales for the 767 as well as the increasing price of petroleum. Although planned to have taken off by late 2007, it was more than 2 years later that the Dreamliner made her first flight in December 2009. This large delay has meant that thus far of the 848 orders, only 49 have been fulfilled. In order to meet the standards Boeing set for fuel efficiency, the 787 had to undergo quite the weight loss program. This meant the materials and standards were particularly strict, leading to approval being required for many of the production and maintenance processes. Given the schedule Boeing had to live up to and the innovations they were introducing, according to a former Boeing mechanic, it might be they “bit off more than they could chew”. Introduced to service in Oct. 2011, the 787 chalked up just over a years’ worth of flight in America before being grounded under an FAA emergency airworthiness directive on Jan. 16, 2013. A plane is built with many design
considerations, and ultimately its design accomplishes significantly more than carrying passengers from point A to point B. A function Boeing may have unwittingly introduced to parts of their new aircraft was spontaneous combustion. On Jan. 7, 2013 a fire started on the inside of an empty Japan Airlines 787 while at Logan International Airport in Boston, raising serious concerns. The origin of the fire was the Lithium Ion batteries, which present a fire risk if allowed to overheat. The 787 is the first airliner to utilize batteries of this type, which are lighter, smaller and more powerful than the batteries traditionally used in commercial aircraft. Lithium Ion batteries are not explicitly unsafe (Your laptop is most likely running on some variant of Li-ion) but can be dreadfully dangerous when actually alight. In 2006 a facility owned by Securaplane, a company that won a contract to produce chargers for the 787, was destroyed in a fire caused by the explosion of one of the batteries they were developing. The day after the first 787 incident, at the same airport with the same airline, a 787 was seen to be leaking fuel prior to its flight to Tokyo. The passengers were made to disembark while the problem was addressed, leading to a four hour delay for their flight. On Jan.

ON JAN. 16, 2013, PASSENGERS on a Boeing 787 were forced to evacuate after an emergency landing due to a battery malfunction.
11, a 787 operated by All Nippon Airways was found to have developed a crack on its windshield and an oil leak from one of its engines. On Jan. 16, a 787 was forced to make an emergency landing following a warning that smoke had been detected in one of the electrical compartments and also cited a battery malfunction. The passengers were evacuated using the emergency slides. These incidents led to the FAA’s decision to ground all 787 operated by US airlines; all 8 airlines that operate 787s worldwide have followed suit. The last commer-
cial airliner to be grounded in this manner was the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 in 1979. It is important to note that this is a precautionary and most likely temporary measure. When asked if he thought the ground would affect consumer confidence in Boeing, De Paul Sunny, an airline safety investigator at Jet Blue and EmbryRiddle Alumnus had this to say: “I believe that Boeing customers understand that these issues are expected with new aircraft and as they are new, they come under immense scrutiny by the media.”

ERAU alumni in fatal crash Fred Cabanas Andy Lichtenstein Staff Reporter
Local airshow pilot and EmbryRiddle alumnus, Fred “Freddy” Cabanas (60), was killed while flying a decathlon in Cozumel on Tuesday, January 15. Fred was born in Key West, Fla. on September 19, 1952. His first flight was at age 12, in South Carolina. Hooked immediately, he started saving money for flight lessons by washing airplanes back at home in the Keys. At 16, he learned to fly, and started aerobatics at age 20. At 21, he earned his Air Frame and Power Plant Certificate from Embry-Riddle here in Daytona Beach. After he graduated, Fred worked as a mechanic for Air Sunshine. In 1977, he married his wife Susan in a DC-3 at 6,500 feet over Key West. Fred started his biplane business at Key West International Airport in 1987, offering biplane rides and ferry flights to the Caribbean and South America.
In 1991, he intercepted a Cuban MiG that was vacating the area. The Mayor of Key West at the time declared Fred the “General of the Conch Republic Air Force.” In 2005, Fred became the first rookie to qualify for the Gold Cup, becoming Rookie of the Year at the Reno Air Races. He flew a vintage Sea Fury, aptly named “Conch Fury.” Fred had accumulated over 25,000 hours of flight time. He was also a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and appeared in many TV shows and movies. Fred was a passionate individual who loved the magic of flight almost as much as his family. He is survived by his wife Susan, his daughter Kelly, and his son Fred Raymond Cabanas Jr. “When it becomes a job, I don’t want to do it anymore.” -Fred Cabanas In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Fred R Cabanas Memorial Photo from cabanasaerobatics.com Scholarship Fund to help Key West High School students advanced FRED CABANAS WILL BE remembered for his talent, accomplishments, and his love for aeronautics.

ERAU Athletics
The NAIA II No. 21 Embry-Riddle men’s basketball team withstood a late 20-5 run by Florida Memorial and held off the Lions by going 7-of10 from the free throw line in the final 57 seconds to secure a 66-61 win on Wednesday night. The victory moves the Eagles’ record to 18-5 overall and 5-4 in conference play, while FMU falls to 5-12 and 2-6 in The Sun Conference. The Blue and Gold jumped out to a 15-3 lead in the first eight minutes of the game and maintained a double-digit lead throughout the rest of the first half. A three from Daniel Kiesling built the lead to 21-5 with 9:11 left in the half, while a three from Jason Powell increased the margin to 17 points (26-9) with 4:25 to play in the frame. Powell connected for a pair of free throws with 1:53 on the clock to give ERAU its largest lead of the half (18 points) at 32-14, though a 6-0 FMU run to close the half cut the deficit to 32-20 at the break. The Eagles came out strong in the second half, pushing the lead up to 21 points (47-26) with 13 minutes remaining in the game. But the Lions scored the next 10 points to trim the deficit to 11 (47-36) with 9:39 left before ERAU rallied back with two free throws from Cesar Pastrana and a triple from Kiesling to grow the lead back to 16 points (52-36) with 7:10 to play. A layup by DeForest Carter increased the margin to 18 points (54-36) with just over five minutes left in the game. Kiesling scored a layup of his own three minutes later, putting Embry-Riddle in front, 58-41 with 2:29 remaining. From that point, Florida Memorial went on a 12-1
run to pull to within just six points (59-53) with 62 seconds left on the clock. A pair of Daniel Mondragon free throws pushed the lead to eight, but FMU countered with five straight points to make it a three-point game (62-59) with 35 seconds to play. The Lions’ Adrian White missed a pair of three-pointers on their next possession, but after Carter made 1-of-2 free throws, FMU’s Michael Baptiste knifed through the defense for an uncontested dunk, trimming the margin to only two points (63-61) with 14 seconds left. Carter caught the inbound pass and held the ball for four seconds before Bryan Portillo committed an ill-advised reach-in foul, sending Carter back to the line, where he connected on both free throws. Trailing 65-61, FMU’s Antwan Baggs hoisted up a 30-foot shot with seven seconds to go that went halfway down before rattling out. Powell collected his seventh rebound of the night and hit 1-of-2 free throws to finish off the Lions, 66-61. Keisling led the Eagles with a career-high 17 points. He also set career highs in field goals made (7) and three-point field goals made (3) in 30 minutes of action. Carter recorded his fifth double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds in 35 minutes, while Mondragon (11) and Pastrana (10) also reached doublefigures in scoring. White led Florida Memorial with a game-high 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting while playing all 40 minutes. Michael Baptiste chipped in with 14 points, nine rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes of action. The Blue and Gold shot 45 percent from the field and 37 percent from behind the arc, while the Lions shot 39 percent overall and 24 percent from three-point range. The Lions held the advantage in bench points (15-4) and fast break points (10-0) but the Eagles dominated in second chance points, 18-5. Next up for the Eagles is a rematch with No. 7 Northwood in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. The last time ERAU matched up with the Seahawks, the Blue and Gold, ranked eighth at the time, took down Northwood, the No. 1 team at the time, 78-74 in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Dec. 1, 2012.

Woodard named NAIA Indoor Field Athlete of the Week Alison Smalling
ERAU Athletics After winning the weight throw at the ERAU Challenge last Saturday, EmbryRiddle's Reta Woodard earned top honors from the NAIA on Wednesday, claiming national Field Athlete of the Week for the first time in her Eagle career. Woodard was chosen out of a pool of conference/independent field athlete of the week selections spanning the entire country. She joins cross country runner Evans Kirwa, volleyball's Jordan Holcomb and Helena Hansson as Eagles to win national recognition this year. Woodard, a native of Spring Hill, Fla., hit the NAIA "A" qualifying standard at the Gator Invitational hosted by NCAA Division I Florida on Jan. 17. She posted a toss of 17.93 meters in the weight throw, taking third place. Three days later, Woodard again hit the NAIA "A" Qualifying Standard and won the weight throw at the Embry-Riddle (Fla.) Indoor/Outdoor Challenge. She recorded a throw of 19.24 meters, taking first place and breaking her own school record. Woodard also won the Discus Throw with a toss of
42.89 meters. Woodard is the NAIA Indoor Weight Throw defending national champion and five-time NAIA All-American. She
remains the athlete to beat in the women's indoor weight throw as her mark of 19.24m is currently the best in the nation. Woodard will look to continue her
record setting season on Sunday as the Eagles take part in the Jimmy Carnes meet hosted by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla.

ERAU Athletics Although this is just the first season of competition for the ERAU softball program, the Eagles' will face a very challenging schedule, including seven games against nationally ranked opponents. The Eagles will open the season as road warriors beginning with a 2 p.m. tilt at Flagler on Feb. 2. After seven road games, the Eagles will land at home for their first
regular-season contests at the Embry-Riddle Softball Stadium. The 2013 home opener will be a doubleheader against Bellevue beginning at noon Mar. 1. The month of March will also see the Blue and Gold embark on a challenging three-day road trip that feature contests against No. 19 Mobile (Mar. 16), No. 7 William Carey (Mar. 16-17) and No. 8 Auburn Montgomery (Mar. 18). The Eagles begin Sun Conference play on Mar. 22 when they host Southeastern in
a 3 p.m. doubleheader.

Eagles finalize 2013 baseball Schedule Ryan Mosher
ERAU Athletics Randy Stegall has unveiled his team's 2013 regular season schedule as the Eagles are busy prepping for the season during the month of January. The Eagles have aspirations of winning the program's 14th Sun Conference regular season title in addition to returning to the NAIA World Series for the 12th time in school history which would tie Bellevue (Neb.) and Cumberland (Tenn.) for the third-most in NAIA history. The Blue and Gold finished 2012 at 43-18 overall and 21-6 in Sun Conference, winning the league regular season title in the last conference series of the year against Ave Maria. The Eagles were eliminated from The Sun Conference Tournament for the first time in 14 years in 2012, but bounced back to sweep through the Opening Round in Daytona Beach before making just a two-game trip to Lewiston, Idaho for the World Series. Embry-Riddle opens its season on Feb. 1 with a doubleheader against Georgetown (Ky.), ranked No. 20 in the NAIA Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Tigers have two pitchers whom were named to the NAIA Preseason
All-America list in Tyler Arthur and Chad Richie. Georgetown and the Eagles have met just twice previously, both shutout wins for the Blue and Gold. The Eagles and Tigers will meet up again on Feb. 2 following a non-conference game between Embry-Riddle and Webber International. Southeastern comes to Daytona Beach on Feb. 8-9 as both teams open up their 2013 Sun Conference schedules before the Eagles embark on their longest road trip of the regular season that begins with a doubleheader against longtime rival BrewtonParker (Ga.) in Mt. Vernon, Ga. on Feb. 12. Stegall and his team will then travel to Hardeeville, S.C. to square off with No. 21 University of South Carolina Beaufort (Feb. 15-16) in a rematch of the Eagles' final game of the 2012 season when the Sand Sharks ended the Blue and Gold's year at the NAIA World Series. Embry-Riddle and Thomas (Ga.) meet up for the first time as conference foes in Thomasville, Ga. on Feb. 22-23. The month of March will be a true home stand for the Eagles as 21 of their 24 games will be played at Sliwa Stadium. Warner comes to town on Mar. 1-2 for a conference
series, followed by a two-game set with No. 17 Bellevue on Mar. 3-4. A 2012 World Series participant, Point Park will take on Embry-Riddle in a doubleheader on Mar. 8 and Stegall's former team, the Indiana Tech Warriors will play the Eagles on Mar. 14 in a single game. After a conference series with Northwood down in West Palm Beach, the Blue and Gold will host No. 8 and 16-time NAIA National Champion Lewis-Clark State in a four-game set from Mar. 19-23. Last season the Eagles traveled to Lewiston during the regular season in what was supposed to be a four-game series, but due to rain, ended in just a two-game trip. The month of March ends with the Gyrenes of Ave Maria coming to Daytona Beach Mar. 29-30. The Eagles' annual exhibition game against the Daytona Cubs is set for Apr. 3 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, just a few days before Embry-Riddle travels south to Opa Locka, Fla. and a date with Florida Memorial (Apr. 5-6). Embry-Riddle will play NCAA II Tampa for the third straight season on Apr. 9 before hosting conference rival St. Thomas Apr. 13-14.
The final road series of the regular season will take place in Babson Park, Fla. against Webber International on Apr. 19-20 before Senior Day and the regular season finale against Brewton-Parker at Sliwa Stadium on Apr. 22. Once again The Sun Conference Tournament will return to Fort Myers, Fla. and the City of Palms Park from Apr. 30 May 4. The Eagles have won the six-team, double-elimination tournament four times, including three times since the conference tournament replaced the regional format starting in 2009. The NAIA National Championship Opening round is slated for May 9-13 at nine sites across the country and will feature five-team pods competing for the right to advance to the final site of the national tournament. Embry-Riddle has advanced out of the Opening Round every year since 2008, one of just three teams to have done so (Oklahoma City and Lee (Tenn.)). The 2013 Avista-NAIA World Series is scheduled for May 24-31 in Lewiston, Idaho The Eagles own an 18-21 all-time record in Lewiston, including a runner-up finish in 2005 and a trio of final four finishes in 2002, 2004 and 2010.

MAMA
PHOTO COURTESY/TOMA 78
Mama is the latest film by Billy the Bull and the first actually scary movie in a few years. Despite being a horror film, Mama breaks away from the standard horror flick mold into a regular movie that can be watched for more than horror, but not without it. Jessica Chastain’s role as the surrogate mother that has motherhood thrust upon her makes Mama into a film with depth that does not simply consist of horror. Chastain’s acting capacity in the film is excellent, playing her role in a way that makes her unrecognizable as anything but
Annabel; her character is able to bring the movie out of one-dimensional horror films into a more encompassing film. Though the movie does more than try to scare you it still has the elements of a horror film included by Billy the Bull. The effects featured in Mama are elements that have become classics of Billy the Bull’s films; his contributions are what elicit fear from the audience and make the film terrifying. The film includes spindly fingers, wide set eyes, children playing with monsters, dark bluish scenes, and
susceptibility to light which are all staples to Billy the Bull’s works. Billy the Bull used his experience with effects to create a film that is definitely not suitable for the fainthearted. Mama creates a setting of constant dread that will have your adrenal gland working constantly even after you leave the theater. The movie builds the suspense and uses the right amount of shadow play to enhance the terror of the film for an actual heart-racing movie. Watching Mama will make you afraid of closets, moths, flickering lights,
sleeping alone, and possibly even cherries; the movie is a fright-fest that will have you sleeping with a knife next to you. Mama’s perfectly timed scenes that play with the audience’s emotions to elicit huge doses of fear and adrenaline make Mama one of the best horror movies of the decade earning it 4.5 out of 5 jets. Mama is a thrill ride that will last for days and have you checking corners and under your bed, but if you’d actually like to get some sleep then perhaps Mama is not the movie to go see next time you go to the movies.

While the sign for Yu-Mi Sushi may be large enough to lure ships to their doom, finding the restaurant proves to be a much more daunting task. On the corner of Dunlawton and Nova, after navigating through a backwards parking lot and making your way behind Big Lots to the Diagon Alley of the Countryside Shopping Center, through a small portal in plain sight you will find one of the best kept secrets of 99.1 Eagles FM, now known as WIKD (pronounced wik-di). For years, the Eagles FM DJs of old congregated at Yu-Mi on Friday nights to share in merriment, drinks, and sustenance before heading to The Rave at Eagles FM studios or their respective club jobs. With the new guard unwilling to take over from the masters, the DJs were defeated and left Daytona dispersing around the country in what is known as The Scattering; now few remain who still know the wonders and secrets of Yu-Mi and its chef. Yu-Mi is a small restaurant seating 30 people max, so don’t expect to host your fundraising three; however, for a date or a night sharing sake with friends the dim lighting and close seating make it a friendly experience. The restaurant is self seating and has a sushi bar where you can watch your food being made, but I wouldn’t recommend the bar because you may be tempted to steal someone else’s plate while you wait for your own food. The staff at Yu-Mi are friendly, but the experience is mostly non-interactive between ordering and getting your meal, which makes it perfect if you don’t want interruptions during your dinner; once your food arrives you’ll be too busy eating anyway. The miso soup had large pieces of
seaweed that got in the way rather than enhanced the flavor, and lacked the characteristic mushroom and onions of other soups; though the ginger salad had hints of mandarin in the dressing, it lacked enough dressing for the salad and the sweetness of the mandarin overpowered the flavor of the ginger. The seaweed salad was more shredded than I preferred, but did consist of a reasonable portion, as did the baby octopus which was perfectly chilled in a sweet sauce with sliced cucumbers. Before digging into your meal I would warn that Yu-Mi uses a particularly spicy blend of wasabi so your usual amount may be too much. Although you may want to get more sushi when it arrives, the Yu-Mi Love Boat for Two brings a rea-
sonable amount of food for two people, which includes whitefish, tuna, yelllowfin, salmon, and eel; though not quite as much eel as I would like. The whitefish and salmon were particularly savory and well cut by the expert chefs. While the days of Eagles FM DJs have long since gone, every once in a long while, when the moon is full, it is said a few surviving DJs will gather at Yu-Mi in secret to reminisce and teach a handful of young DJs the ways of old. For international denizens this is definitely a place to try, but for Americans this may not be the place to get your sushi since the flavors are neither mass produced nor bland, Edamame may be better suited to your tastes.

GLOCK, Perfection In Your Hand Derek Walters
Guest Reporter
It could be the world’s most famous handgun. It’s often seen in movies, video games, mentioned in rap music, is used by police, criminals, civilians, and soldiers alike for very good reasons; you see Glock is the benchmark when it comes to reliability, toughness, affordability and value. Glocks have a wide array of different size pistols and calibers, I will touch on some but the main focus on this piece is Glock pistols in general. They come in the 3 main calibers for handguns, 9mm, .40S&W, and 45acp. They also come in some other, less
popular calibers like .357 sig, .45 GAP, 10mm auto and even .380 auto; they also come in different sizes for those calibers. Competition, standard, compact, and subcompact are the sizes, with competition being the biggest and subcompact the smallest; they have a handgun for every practical situation. Fairly often, some of my friends come to me asking about getting a handgun; I have found that Glocks are a love-it or leave-it pistol so I start everyone on Glocks and go from there. For about $500 they are in the middle-low end of the scale when it comes to similar handguns. Sig’s can be about $700, while H&K’s are around $900. They are cheap enough
to be popular and well made but expensive enough that you get a quality handgun. All Glocks follow the same sort of look, they are very blocky and smooth, the grip is rather neutral. In the latest generation of Glocks, it is obvious that the engineers finally figured out that the human hand is not a square, but rather round. The new handguns include interchangeable grip parts to ensure a more personal fit for the shooter. As I have said before, Glocks are love-em or hate-em. The pistols point very well, I like the trigger, and they are very easy to shoot. Like many pistols these days, it has a polymer frame, which is nice because it will not corrode and makes the pistol lighter. When loaded with a full magazine, it’s well balanced. Recoil depends on a few things; the most obvious is of course, the caliber. The bigger the bullet, the more recoil.
Glock has gone an extra step with some of their models, offering “ported” barrels; this means that some of the expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder are vented upward, creating a thrust action in the opposite direction. This is good for placing shots at targets in rapid succession, this idea is not exclusive to Glock, but they do appear to utilize it the most. One of the best things about Glocks being so popular is that there are so many accessories for them. This is especially important when looking for a holster. I believe Glocks are the best combination of price, reliability, robustness, and user friendliness; they are very safe handguns as well. There are some people who simply dislike Glocks and there is nothing wrong with that, but they are a great place to start looking if you are in the market for a handgun.

BROKEN CITY
Floyd Perkinson
Entertainment Editor Broken City is a film with an all-star cast that accomplishes nothing; the film is not entertaining and a waste of almost two hours. While most movies either fail or succeed in their purpose which is to entertain and draw an audience, Broken City seems to just be a medium for apathy. Broken City is the most medium film I have ever seen, if I had to pick a food to describe it, it would be white rice, if I had to pick a drink it’d be tap water. Usually when a movie fails you can tell that the movie did not reach the target audience the director intended, in some cases themselves; in either case you can tell that the director tried and perhaps he sucks but at least they tried. For Broken City it seems as though the director did not even put forth any effort but rather just rolled out a film like a homework assignment for the most useless class there is, COM221 A.K.A memo writing class. Although the director for Broken City simply did the bare minimum anyone could do and not get fired, this attitude did not spread to the cast. Marky Mark does what he does best in Broken

City, solving problems with his fist after they’ve been explained to him. The film features Russell Crowe in a role where he portrays his most natural acting element, corruption; the veteran actor brought his full repertoire into this one acting role in a film where it seems that it would not have mattered if he had just phoned it in. The actors in Broken City played their roles as professionally as possible and as close to the style of the movie as they could, despite management deficiencies. The film tries to be in the style of film noir but fails because film noir has an
element of nostalgia that is missing in Broken City. Though the film is clearly trying to be in noir style, the elements of the movie would not allow for such a style. Despite a push to make the film into a style that perhaps could have given the movie purpose; the film once again falls short leaving an unexceptional product. Though not quite in the running for a Razzie, Broken City may yet earn one for how un-exemplary a movie can be. No matter what your preference may be broken city is a movie to avoid despite its veteran cast.
A predictable Haunted House
A HAUNTED HOUSE
Alex Pearce
Guest Reporter In the case of “A Haunted House”, the viewer actually gets exactly what is expected. The movie, very similar to the scary movie franchise, pokes fun at several
supernatural movies that came out in the last couple of years, those including the Paranormal Activity films and The Devil Inside. The film starts with Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) preparing his house for his girlfriend Kisha (Essence Atkins) to move in. As with the other Paranormal films, this one is shot through the eye of a home video camera. Following in the Paranormal style, things start to go awry almost immediately from the classic door mysteriously opening to furniture being thrown all over the house. Struggling to keep things in order, Malcolm refuses to believe a ghost is in the house so Kisha brings in a psychic (Nick Swardson). The psychic however, seems to have other interests than ghosts… needless to say, things quickly escalate to the point where Kisha herself becomes possessed. A priest (Cedric the Entertainer) is called in and the story ends in Paranormal fashion. This movie is for the people who prefer to laugh at horror movies rather than handle the actual movies. Overall, based on pure movie qualities, this movie rates rather low earning only two jets. Several of the jokes are overplayed to
the point where only silence remains. This is definitely a movie that is good for cheap laughs, but will soon be found in the five dollar bin at Walmart.
