The case against UCF’sBoard of Trustees and theAthletic Associationregarding the wrongfuldeath suit filed by EreckPlancher’s family has beenpushed back one month.

The conflicting high-profile case against CaseyAnthony is the reason theOrange County civil trial is

expected to take place inJune instead of May.

Plancher’s family filed asuit against the university’sBoard of Trustees and theAthletic Association aftertheir son, a wide receiveron the football team, diedduring drills in March2008.

Head coach GeorgeO’Leary and Mary VanderHeiden, the head footballtrainer, have both testified

under oath that they wereaware Plancher had testedpositive for the sickle celltrait.

According to theHoward University Schoolof Medicine Center forSickle Cell Disease, risks ofthe trait include “life-threatening complicationsof exercise, exertional heatillness or idiopathic suddendeath.”

In September 2010, an

Orlando Circuit Courtruled that the AthleticAssociation is not operat-ing as a state agency andwould not be eligible for acap on the settlementclaim.

If the Athletic Associa-tion was established asoperating as a state agency,the settlement claim pay-out could not exceed$200,000, which means thePlanchers now have theability to seek damages for

Zac Stites’ final dunk in thesecond annual UCF Slam DunkContest impressed A.J. Rompzaenough to warrant a lofty giftfrom the sophomore guard.

“I just might have to give upmy scholarship to him,” he said.

Despite being the event’sshortest contestant, sophomoreStites rose above the competitionto win the contest.

Sponsored by Cru at UCF andsupported by UCF Student Gov-ernment Association, the contestwas held Tuesday night at TheVenue.

The computer engineeringmajor won the $200 first prize ina “dunk-off” with sophomorebiology major Danny White.Stites defeated White and sixother competitors by throwingdown the four best dunks of thenight and impressing the men’sbasketball team who were thejudges of the event. Stites tooktwo alley-oops, jumped over atrampoline and did a cradle dunk,a slam dunk made famous byMichael Jordan.

CF alumnus Brandy Gill never thought an idea he hadput away would possibly give him a TV spot during theSuper Bowl.

Gill, who graduated in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree injournalism and in advertising and public relations, has entered acommercial he made into the Doritos and Pepsi MAX “Crash theSuper Bowl” challenge. Out of 5,600 other entries, he is one of ten final-ists.

“I had the idea for a while, “ said Gill, the creative director at Acrop-olis Inc., an award-winning, full-service advertising agency in Orlando.“It was one of those things that I had filed away and when I saw the adfor the challenge, I thought I should use it.”

The commercial Gill submitted starts with his boss, Scott Major,saying that Pepsi MAX has zero calories. Major encourages the peo-ple he is speaking with to take a sip. As they take a sip, they all exas-peratedly sigh “Psshh” in disbelief.

“It was inspired by my friends because I’ve got a couple bud-dies that make that sound all the time,” said Gill. “There reallywasn’t much more thought than that.”

Most students who havetaken typical online coursesbefore know what to expect.

The professor assignsreadings, discussions — andthen does a live broadcast ofthe lesson from anothercontinent?

The latter seems a bitunusual, but for more than100 undergraduate anthro-pology and philosophy stu-dents at UCF, that’s exactlywhat they got.

In November, humani-ties professor Bruce Janzand anthropology professorRosalyn Howard went toSouth Africa and Swazilandto teach the second half ofJanz’s African Humanitiesand Howard’s African Soci-eties and Cultures onlinecourses.

The expedition wasmade possible by Interac-tive Expeditions, a researchpartnership between UCFand Cobham Inc directedby Phil Peters, a film anddigital media professor atUCF.

The satellite-based proj-ect offers real-time, mobileand remote education solu-tions that connect learners

at home with subject matterexperts in the field. As longas there is a satellite link,researchers are able tobroadcast to and from mul-tiple places very quickly.

“It can be done in themiddle of the desert,” Janzsaid.

The production equip-ment involves a mixingboard and a B-roll, whichallows media such as slides,PowerPoint and previouslytaped material to be editedinto the live broadcast.

“What’s unique about itis students have real timeaccess,” Janz said. “They canuse their webcams to askquestions, and they can talkdirectly to the people we’retalking to. It combines theinteractive part with themobile.”

Peters has done pastINTX research projects inBermuda, India and thedeserts of Utah and Ari-zona, which acted as trialsthat would set the planningfor South Africa in motion.

Field testing the equip-ment was a big goal for Janz,who wanted to access thesoftware upgrades on abreakthrough teacherstablet — a piece of technol-ogy that allows the profes-

sors to interface with thewhole system.

“It’s a little bit like havingan iPod in the field,” Janzsaid.

Howard joined the crewin Johannesburg until Janzcould meet them in Durbona few weeks later. She hadnever been to South Africabefore, but was eager toimmerse her students indistance learning.

“As a cultural anthropol-ogist, I want my students tolearn about other culturesand when they’re learningfrom books and films,there’s sometimes a gap,”Howard said. “This gave methe opportunity to give mystudents face-to-face, realtime exposure.”

The first broadcast wasfilmed at the University ofWitwatersrand in Johannes-burg. They spoke to thechair of the anthropologydepartment about the histo-ry of South Africa and con-temporary African music.

The second broadcastwas done in Soweto, at Nel-son Mandela’s old resi-dence. Rev. Jesse Jacksonattended and granted theteam a live interview to thestudents.

“He was kind enough to

speak with our host forabout 15 minutes, which isan exceptional amount oftime for such happen-stance,” said Jason Cray-croft, a fourth year interdis-ciplinary studies major whotook the course last semes-ter. “It was amazing.”

In total, there were eight,90-minute broadcasts twicea week for four weeks andevery broadcast had timeallotted for a question andanswer session.

The broadcasts were forboth Janz’s and Howard’sclasses, with the content ofthem ranging from historylessons, to contemporaryart and live music.

In order to create onecomprehensive picture,Howard emphasized SouthAfrican history, and wherepeople were coming from,whereas Janz emphasizedcontemporary Africa, andwhat it means to be creativein Africa today.

While in Swaziland,Howard and the crew wereable to show the studentsHouse on Fire, a venueshowcasing eclectic Africanartwork. For many who sawit, it left a big impression.

“The House on Firemight be the most interest-

ing of the African localesbecause this place is anastounding creative artsvenue that I have yet to seematched even here in theU.S.,” Craycroft said.

Howard believes inusing art as a tool in the fightagainst AIDS.

“It was like walking intoa fantasy world,” she said.

One of Howard’s favoriteplaces was a small towncalled Bulembu in Swazi-land, that is solely dedicatedto becoming a self-sustain-ing community and helpingorphans whose families andcommunities have beenwiped out by HIV/AIDS.

During the sixth broad-cast, the students got toexperience a tour of theLibrary of African Music byAndrew Tracy, the son ofthe man who founded it.They also got to see Souzadancers perform, and toJanz, that is what the expedi-tion was all about.

“The ideal thing is toship them over there them-selves. If you can’t do that,then this is a great way toget the content,” Janz said.

The only drawbackswere the faults in technolo-gy. Some of the students inthe class thrived because of

the real time interaction,while others became dis-couraged when glitchesoccurred, or they didn’thave the availability to sitstationary and watch each90-minute broadcast.

“This was a pilot,” saidHoward who, along withJanz, did not hesitate to saythey would do it again.

Craycroft didn’t seem tomind the difficulties either,and overall appreciated theability to see things for him-self.

“All too often, and possi-bly ironically so, when westudy the humanities, wefocus on the art and not theartist — the ‘human’ in‘humanities,’” Craycroftsaid.

He said that in a typicalclass setting, it would beimpossible to recreate theclear mindset of the variouspeople that were shown.

“Literally all of the peo-ple we spoke to had a veryinspiring attitude towardslife and community and thiswas probably the best les-son to take from the class,”he said.

“Overall it was a suc-cess,” Janz said. “It was a lotof hard work, but in the end,good things always are.”

SPOKANE, Wash. — Abomb left along the route ofa Martin Luther King Jr.Day parade was a sophisti-cated explosive that had aremote detonator and theability to cause many casu-alties, an official familiarwith the case said Wednes-day.

The bomb, which wasdefused without incidenton Monday, was the mostpotentially destructive he

had ever seen, said the offi-cial, who spoke on condi-tion of anonymity becausehe is not authorized torelease information aboutthe investigation.

The FBI said it has nosuspects in the case and hasasked the public for help inidentifying anyone whomight have been seen in thedowntown area where thebomb was found.

The FBI on Wednesdaydeclined to reveal anydetails about the bomb,which was spotted by three

city employees about anhour before the parade wasto start, said Frank Harrill,special agent in charge ofthe Spokane office. Theemployees looked inside,saw wires and immediatelyalerted law enforcement,and the parade was rerout-ed.

The FBI received nowarnings in advance and noone has claimed responsi-bility for planting the bomb,Harrill said.

The bomb was con-tained inside a black back-

pack made by Swiss Army,and the FBI released aphoto of the backpack as itsought information fromthe public. Also releasedwere pictures of two T-shirts found in the pack.There was a gray T-shirtwith writing for the StevensCounty Relay for Life racelast June. Stevens County isjust north of SpokaneCounty. The other dark T-shirt said Treasure IslandSpring 2009.

The FBI and local offi-cials have praised as heroes

the city workers who spot-ted the backpack and quick-ly called police. Police werealso hailed for immediatelydeciding to reroute theparade. The several hun-dred marchers, includingmany children, were nottold why the route waschanged.

Harrill said the FBI hasreceived some leads sinceoffering a $20,000 rewardfor information on Tuesday.But the agency can’t discussthe leads publicly, he said.

There were no notes in

the backpack, which hasbeen shipped to an FBI labin Quantico, Va., Harrillsaid.

Investigators are alsoseeking anyone who tookphotographs or video in thearea between 8 a.m. and 11a.m. on Monday.

Investigators have saidthe bomb was carefullyplaced on a metal benchwith a brick wall behindthat would have directedshrapnel toward MainStreet, where marcherswere expected to pass.

Marcus Jordan said afterthe contest. “Coming in, Ithought Danny would bethe one to take it home.But I wasn’t expecting[Stites] to jump the way hedid.”

For his first round dunk,Stites set up a trampolineabout seven feet from therim. The crowd and judgeslooked puzzled as hestepped back to preparefor his dunk.

“I thought he was goingto jump on that thing,”sophomore forward Tris-tan Spurlock said. “Ithought he was going tohurt himself.”

Instead of jumping onit, Stites bounced from twosteps behind the trampo-line and slammed the ballin the hoop on his firstattempt.

Stites was a crowdfavorite from that point on.

White returned fire inthe first round with areverse windmill dunk, butStites held his ground andtook the lead in the thirdround.

After the third round,White and Stites were tied,and each was given a finaldunk. White went first andattempted an alley-oop setfrom the second floor ofthe building, but failed tocomplete the dunk. Stitesthrew down a set up fromhis partner and walkedaway with first prize.

Even though everyoneelse seemed to be shockedat his victory, Stites wasn’t.

“I thought I may win it,”Stites said after winningthe contest. “The short,white kid is always a crowdfavorite.”

This was the secondyear that Cru, also knownas Campus Crusade forChrist, held a dunk contestfor students.

It was the first time thatthe regulation height was

implemented.“We had an adjustable

hoop last year,” saidSpencer Dewald, theevent’s coordinator. “Sothe quality of our dunkersis a lot higher this year. Ihate to say it, but a lot ofthe guys that competedlast year wouldn’t be ableto do it this time around.”

With the help of SGA,the event was also movedto The Venue to helpaccommodate a largercrowd, which Cru Presi-dent Dave Pezoli said wasone of the main targets ofthe event.

“The biggest thingwe’re trying to do on cam-pus is trying to build com-munity,” Pezoli said. “UCFhas such a large campus,and it’s very easy for a stu-dent to get lost on cam-pus.”

Cru currently has 400

members and has branch-es across the UCF commu-nity.

“We have weekly meet-ings every Thursday nightwith different events andactivities,” Pezoli said.“We’re just trying to createa place that students canconnect with each otherand discover who theyare.”

Next year, Cru hopes tohold the dunk contest inthe fall as part of UCF’sMidnight Madness, a cele-bration of the start of thecollege basketball season.

“UCF always getsknocked because we don’thave many on-campus tra-ditions,” said SGA CampusTraditions CoordinatorKeal Blache. “If handledright, this could be a regu-lar tradition for UCF bas-ketball. The players lovecoming out for it.”

“The football helmetdoesn’t say UCF Athletic

Association, the score-board doesn’t say UCFAthletic Association; it saysUCF,” said Heston. “Veryrespectfully, we want to askthe courts to reconsider.”

interested in contempo-rary art to engage withthese artists and to pur-chase their works.”

Flying Horse Editionsfunctions mainly as apress through whichartists use various medi-ums to produce their art-work.

Most commonly,artists use screen-print-ing, woodblock, digitalprinting and etching.

John Dieder, a recentgraduate, has been intern-ing at Flying Horse Edi-tions for a year and a halfand understands theintricate and valuableprocess printing entails.

“The artists willengrave their art on aprinting matrix. A print-ing matrix is the sourcefor an image and thephysical foundation forwhich an art image isinscribed,” Dieder said.“Then we will ink andclean the printing matrix,run it under the press andthe image is then trans-ferred onto a paper.Depending on what wedecide, that particularimage will be a limitededition, so it will only beprinted a limited numberof times.”

Flying Horse Editionsis a non-profit press. It isfunded by its members,the people who choose toreceive three projectsFlying Horse Editionsproduces each year.

It is also funded by thesales of other work thepress produces.

As a nonprofit, FlyingHorse Editions reliesheavily on UCF students

as its interns everysemester.

Ashley Taylor, a seniorgraphic design major,interned at Flying HorseEditions this past fall.

“The art of printing isoften overlooked com-pared to other styles ofart, but Flying Horse hashelped to revive themedium in new andinventive ways and is

bringing it to the commu-nity,” Taylor said. “Print-ing allows artwork to bepassed out in the masses.Unlike other media,printing allows [artists]to make a piece of art andreproduce it many times.”

Taylor believes thatbecause printing is gain-ing prominence, it’s animportant skill for art stu-dents to learn.

“The press also givesstudents a great opportuni-ty to work in a professionalenvironment and to gain ahands-on experience in thearea of printmaking

through semester intern-ships.”

Flying Horse Editions istypically open on weekdaysfrom 9 a.m. through 5 p.m.However, on the weekends

someone is always thereworking.

“I thought we’d do it for alaugh, send it in and forgetabout it,” Gill said. “I neverthought anything would evercome from it. If I had thoughtthat we would have gottenthis far, I would have put morework into it.”

Despite his doubts, Gillreceived a phone call fromPepsi’s public relations peo-ple and was in total disbeliefwhen he heard the news.

“It was a total shock. I did-n’t know what the hell theywere talking about, “ Gill said.“I thought I owed themmoney. I had no idea why theywere calling me and they said‘surprise you’re in the top 10.’”

Major wasn’t surprised byGill’s accomplishment at all.

“Nothing would surpriseme with him,” Major said. “Heis an amazing talent and themost amazing part about himis his inclusiveness of ideaswith his team. He always aimshigh. That’s one of the rea-sons we pursued him [as anemployer]. I think he did agreat job.”

Major was excited to takepart in the commercial withthe staff.

“It was a blast,” he said.“I’m not a shy person, butuntil you actually get to theother side of a camera, evenon the amateur level, its inter-esting how it challenges youto keep your own personality.Watching everyone bring outtheir personalities helped me.No agent will be calling mefor a movie roll any time soonthough.”

The top five finalists forDoritos and Pepsi MAX willreceive $25,000. The top threecommercials from each brandwill be aired during SuperBowl XLV. If the commercialis number one on the USAToday Ad Meter, the personwill receive $1 million, secondplace will receive $600,000and third place will receive$400,000. If Doritos and/orPepsi MAX sweep the topthree on the USA Today Ad

Meter each winner willreceive $1 million. Thefinalist with the highest-scoring ad will receive acontract to create com-mercials for Doritos andPepsi MAX.

Gill is the only topcontender from the stateof Florida and is ecstaticabout that.

“Everybody else thatcame in the top 10 arefrom California andthey’re involved in pro-duction and film andwant to be directors,” Gillsaid. “I hope that in someway it will shed a little bitof light on Orlando andCentral Florida becausethere are a lot of talentedand creative people here.”

Junior AerospaceEngineering major RickSanchez also shares thesame enthusiasm that Gillhas.

“It think it’s great thata UCF alumni may have aSuper Bowl commercial,”Sanchez said. “It showshow big UCF is and howmuch we are progressingthrough the nation.”

Gill has been usingsocial media to encour-age people to vote for hiscommercial. He has cre-ated a Facebook page,facebook.com/votefor-brandy, and has beentweeting about it. He

even arranged a Tweetupon Wednesday at LizyMcCormack’s, which iswhere individuals whotweet meet up in the realworld.

He has also had seg-ments done about him onFox 35 and did a call-ininterview with RealRadio 104.1.

Despite being in thetop 10, Gill isn’t entirelyconfident he’ll winbecause his competitionspent millions of dollarsto produce. If he does win$1 million, he plans ontaking care of his familyand friends and investingin his friend’s idea to startan Orange Blossom Pil-sner brewery in down-town Orlando.

CLOSE CALL FOR FEDERER ATAUSTRALIAN OPEN

MELBOURNE, Australia — Defendingchampion Roger Federer admitted hewas lucky to escape with a victory atthe Australian Open on Wednesday,edging Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6,6-3 in the second round.

Early on it seemed as if Simon, whohad beaten Federer in their only twoprevious meetings, would send theSwiss star packing out of a Grand Slambefore the third round for the first timesince the French Open in 2003 — atotal of 31 majors.

But the usually reserved Federerpumped his fist in celebration witheach point in the final few games. Hebroke Simon’s service in the sixth gameof the deciding set to go up 4-2, heldhis service to go up 5-2, then held hisserve two games later to clinch it withan ace on his fifth match point.

“I remained positive ... it paid off. Igot lucky. I’m happy I’m still in thetournament,”Federer said.

Simon said he needed “time to getused to (Federer’s) game,”which helpedhim win the third and fourth sets.

“It’s going fast, he’s moving fast, it’sjust impressive,”Simon said. “There arenot too many players able to play tothis level.”

“I wasn’t playing poorly in the thirdand fourth set, but Gilles took it to me.Clearly, he’s a great player first of all.Matches against him don’t come easily... hopefully we don’t play each otheranymore!”

In other matches, Venus Williams alsohad some drama getting through tothe third round, overcoming a painfulinjury to beat Sandra Zahlavoa of theCzech Republic 6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-4. NovakDjokovic, Andy Roddick, top-seededCaroline Wozniacki, last year’s finalistJustine Henin and 2008 championMaria Sharapova also advanced.

While the cheerleadingteam finished in thirdplace last weekend at theUCA/UDA National Col-lege Cheer and DanceChampionship, the UCFspirit program’s headcoach, Linda Gooch, washonored with the ColonelGene Moeller Award.

The award has beendistributed annually forthe past seven years to auniversity administratorwho has largely impactedtheir university’s spiritprogram. The award is ahuge recognition forGooch, as well as for thewhole spirit program atUCF.

“It’s a great honor forme, but really for ourschool and our program,”Gooch said. “It’s not reallyso much for me, but reallyfor all of the alumni thathave come before.”

Gooch began as a UCFcheerleader herself in thespring of 1981, when theteam consisted of sixfemales and six males and

was still listed under stu-dent affairs instead ofbeing listed as an athleticsprogram. After cheeringon the squad, she becamethe team’s coach in thespring of 1984 and hasbeen working ever sincethen to expand andimprove the UCF spiritprogram.

After 10 years of coach-ing at UCF, the teamreceived their first inviteto the UCA College CheerNationals in 1994 as a Divi-sion I-AA team. Since 1997,the team has competed asa Division I-A team andhas placed in the top-10 16times out of 18 years ofcompetition, including theclaiming of two NationalChampionship titles in2003 and 2007.

Going into Nationalsthis past weekend at Dis-ney’s Wide World ofSports, the Knights wereranked third for the SouthRegion. The finalistsround took place Sundayand consisted of the top-15teams out of 20 competingfrom across the nation.After a fierce competition

with the Kentucky Wild-cats and Alabama CrimsonTide, UCF secured thethird-place national slotand Alabama grabbed thechampionship title.

This is now the UCFspirit program’s 12th top-3finish since the programbegan competing in 1994.

“You know, there weresome minor setbacks butoverall it’s one of thecleanest routines we’vethrown all year,” said sen-ior cheerleader KeithGross. “I’m extremelyproud of everyone and theteam for still being third inthe nation.”

Gross has cheered forthe UCF spirit program forthe past three years andpraises Gooch for herwork.

“She’s one of the mostorganized, caring peopleI’ve ever met,” Gross said.“She fought so hard to getme into this program. Shefights for what she wantsand she doesn’t give up.She pushes and pushes forus to be the greatest andfor everything that shewants.”

After losing their firstconference game of the sea-son, the Knights will look toget back on track against theMemphis Tigers on Thurs-day.

The loss to SMU was atough one, but the Knights(10-7 overall) must put thatin the past as they still sit ina great spot in the early con-ference standings (3-1, 3rd in

Conference USA).“We didn't have any

offensive continuity, weweren't very disciplinedand that led to some break-downs,” said head coach JoiWilliams in a release.“Those are some things wecan learn from moving for-ward.”

Memphis (13-5, 2-2 C-USA) sits only one gamebehind UCF in the confer-ence standings. The Tigersare desperately in need of a

win after losing their lasttwo games, both conferencematchups, against UAB andUTEP. UCF beat UAB lastweek 65-55.

The Tigers had previ-ously won 10 consecutivegames, including their firsttwo conference games,averaging 69.4 points pergame during that stretch.

The Tigers are led by aPreseason All-Conferenceselection in Brittany Carterwho is averaging 13.2 points

per game as well as juniorJasmine Lee who averagesnearly a double-doublewith 12.1 points and 9.3rebounds per game.

As conference play hasbegun, the Knights havestepped their game up.Senior D’Nay Daniels (14.5points per game for the sea-son) is averaging 17.5 pointsper game in conferenceplay. Junior Aisha Patrick(11.2 points per game for theseason) is averaging 14.8

points per game in confer-ence play.

But the Knights needmore from the bench. In thelast four games, the Knights’starting five have accountedfor 87.3 percent of theteam's points. In thatstretch, the bench hasscored just 35 of 276 points,11 in the last two games

UCF holds a slight edgein the series at 6-5; however,Memphis did win bothgames last year. The

Knights are 3-2 all-time atthe Elma Roane Fieldhouse,last winning on the Tigers'home floor on Jan. 8, 2009,85-67.

The game, which tips offat 8 p.m., can be heard oneither WAMT 1190 AM orWHOO - ESPN 1080 AM.

Knights were the hottest C-USA team, but have quick-ly learned the price ofattention and being thehunted.

“It’s definitely a lot dif-ferent having the target onyour back,” said centerTom Herzog.

Fortunately for theKnights, they get to returnto their home court, wherethey’ve been flawless.Before Wednesday’s gameagainst ECU, the Knightswere a perfect 10-0 at home.

Early in the season, theKnights were blowing outopponents, including Jack-son State, West Florida,USF and Princeton.

Now the Knights willprepare for Rice, who haslost four consecutive gamescoming into the contest.Still, the Owls have notchedvictories against LSU andTCU, marking an inconsis-tency that does not allowfor them to be taken lightly.

UCF will have theirhands full with a pair ofOwls scorers in ArsalanKazemi and Tamir Jackson,averaging 16.6 and 12.9points per game, respec-tively.

The Knights have beenbolstered all season by ris-ing attendance numbersand will have to hope thattrend continues. Recordcrowds have already been

on hand this season to seethe Knights take on Furmanand Marshall, and aftermany of the first ten homegames, the players andcoaches have credited thefan base for helping to pro-pel the team.

Guard A.J. Rompza hasreferred to the growingcrowds as the ‘sixth man’for the Knights, and aftermultiple games Jones hasnot hesitated to give thefans credit for giving histeam “great lift.”

“I think [the fans are] acredit to this team and howthey play,” Jones said.“They’ve been fun to come

out and watch.”Big crowd or not, the

real issues for the Knightshave been consistency andmaking adjustments. Dur-ing the Knights win streak,those were two things theclub was able to achieve.But after dropping two con-secutive away games, it hasbeen absent. Jones has saidall season that his team’sinability to put together atrue 40-minute game leaveshim optimistic that the bestis yet to come.

“I think there’s a lot ofroom improvement for thisgroup right now, which isthe good news,” Jones said.

Huxtable was one of thelongest-tenured membersof UCF’s coaching staff. Inthe 2007 season, prior tohis time as defensive coor-dinator, UCF’s defense

allowed an average 27.8points and 379.3 yards pergame. UCF, ranked 12thnationally on defense,allowed 18 points and 318.1yards per game.

“His defenses at UCFwere very well-coached, asevidenced by their successthis season,” said Bielema.“As good a coach as he is,he is even a better person

and he will fit into our staffvery well.”

Leigh Torbin, directorof communications forUCF Athletics, said thatthere has been no inclina-tion of whether O’Learywants to replace Huxtablewith a current member ofthe coaching staff or ifthere is a timetable for thedecision.

MIAMI — WhenLeBron James arrived fora shootaround practiceTuesday morning, hissprained left ankle wasstill sore and swollen.

By game time, theNBA’s two-time reigningMVP was good to go.

James started forMiami on Tuesdayagainst the AtlantaHawks, ending anabsence where the Heatlost games in Denver andChicago with him side-lined. The Heat, however,were without forwardChris Bosh, who sprainedhis left ankle in theChicago loss.

“We do have versatili-ty on the roster,” Heatcoach Erik Spoelstra said.“This is probably thetime it’ll show the most,playing guys that weren’tnecessarily playing bigminutes, they’ll be able tostep up and have theiropportunity.”

Joel Anthony startedat power forward in placeof Bosh, who was ruledout early Tuesday.

James missed his cus-tomary pregame mediasession Tuesday, gettingeven more treatment.The determination wasmade about 45 minutesbefore tip-off that hewould start.

James, Bosh andDwyane Wade —Miami’s Big 3 — allmissed practice Mondayas well. Wade has a soreleft knee, courtesy of acollision with the Bulls’Kurt Thomas in theChicago loss on Saturday,and was still battlingsome swelling on Tues-day, but sitting out wasnever an option.

“No matter who’s onthe floor ... we’ve got tofind a way to get a winversus one of the hottestteams in the league,”Wade said.

Spoelstra said he hadfive different lineupcards ready, dependingon whether or not Jameswould play. It was turninginto a chess game ofsorts; Hawks coach LarryDrew said he was waitingon his lineup decisionuntil seeing who Miamihad available.

The Hawks aren’t per-fectly healthy either. For-ward Marvin Williamsmissed his ninth straightgame with a lower backinjury.

After Tuesday, theHeat do not play again

until hosting Toronto onSaturday, giving Boshplenty of time to heal.

Bosh was hurt with30.7 seconds left in thethird quarter in Chicago,going for the ball whilethe Bulls’ Omer Asik dovefor it as well. Asik rolledinto Bosh’s lower leg, andthe Heat forward imme-diately grabbed at his leftshin in obvious pain —and the way he tumbledprompted fears that theinjury could be bad.

“He’s makingprogress,” Spoelstra said.“He’s moving around bet-ter today. Certainly notready to run and explodeoff of it, but if you saw thefootage, the replay of it,we’re just thankful it’sminor at this point.”

With the economy stillin recovery, many stu-dents are finding them-selves looking at differentways to save money.

Daniel Flynn, a juniornursing major, has decid-ed to use alternativemeans of transportation tocut his costs. Although heis the proud owner of a1991 silver Audi A4, thesedays he lets it collect dustin his garage.

Flynn instead relies onLYNX to get him where heneeds to go. He lives inMaitland and takes Link434 from there to UCF, atrip which he said is fourhours each way. He saidthat the money that hesaves is well worth theextended trip.

“You can get all the wayacross town with two dol-

lars,” Flynn said.Flynn said that he saves

$200 a month by not usinghis car.

Flynn also works twodays a week at Piano Dis-tributors, located on SouthOrange Blossom Trail, andsaves money by not driv-ing there. He usuallycatches a ride with hisboss.

Flynn also uses othersimple methods that savehim money. He cooks hisown food and does not eatout. He also enjoys inex-pensive activities, such asgoing to the beach orsocializing with friends.

He also sells his text-books for cash, like manystudents do.

“I’ll sell them back toget as much money backas possible instead ofkeeping them at the end ofthe semester,” Flynn said.“That gives me money

back.”Flynn also takes advan-

tage of Safelink, a free cellphone service supportedby the federal governmentthat is available to peoplewho meet certain income

eligibility requirements.He said he gets 250 min-utes a month through thisservice.

Another student whouses the bus to savemoney is Shane Terrell, a

freshman biology major.Terrell owns a car, but leftit at home in Stuart to savemoney.

“I don’t have to pay forgas,” Terrell said. “I don’thave to pay for insuranceright now.”

Terrell estimates thathe saves $200 a month oninsurance costs, and $30 aweek on gas. He lives atthe Collegiate Village Innapartments on UniversityBoulevard, so he normallyrelies on UCF buses andhis skateboard to get himaround.

He also finds that usinghis UCF meal plan helpshim to cut costs by provid-ing a nearby diningoption.

The Orlando Science Center hosted its annual interactivetechnology convention, Otronicon from Jan. 14 through 17.

As convention-goers entered the transformed museum, theywere greeted by flashing lights, blaring sounds and freneticshouts of the crowd already inside. Visitors were given theopportunity to take part in a bevy of demonstrations, workshopsand trials of new forms of interactive entertainment.

Local companies such as Electronic Arts studio Tiburon andCubic Corp., a realistic gun simulation company, placed theirtechnologies on the floor for demonstrations. The conventioneven attracted distant companies to its door from as far away asNew York.

Virtusphere Inc., the technology group responsible for thedemo, came all the way from New York to allow guests at theconvention the chance to try out this technology for themselves.

Locals recognized the Virtusphere to have visual similaritiesas the well-known Spaceship Earth dome at Disney’s Epcot.

A virtual reality display with real time positioning technolo-gy was strapped to the participant’s head and they were maneu-vered into the sphere.

It took some practice to get oneself comfortable enough towalk with confidence but the CEO of Virtusphere, Ray Latypov,showed the audience gathered around his inventionhow one could run at a full pace within the sphere.He suggested a variety of applications from fit-ness and military training to physical andmental rehabilitation.

EA also played a major role in spon-soring the event. They had severaldemonstrations of their productsincluding a live demo of their virtualplaybook, which has been used onnetworks like ESPN and FOXSports.

They even set up a stage toshowcase the new Rock Bandgame andlive

“bands” were encouraged to sign up for their chance in the spot-light.

Applied Cognition and Training in Immersive Virtual Envi-ronments, a UCF-affiliated research laboratory, demonstratedsome of their recent work. ACTIVE had an R/C car set in amaze that participants could direct using a Nintendo WiiMotionPlus controller by leaning it forward and backward formotion and turning it left and right to change direction.

Although it was fun, it also served an ulterior motive. Thetrue purpose of this demonstration was to show how the soft-ware and robotics they developed could operate a vehicle andmake real time decisions about its surroundings. For example, tobe able to sense if it is in the presence of friendly or hostile sol-diers, and for the goal of patrolling streets, disarming bombswhile performing reconnaissance work autonomously.

Most visitors came for the promise of a video game conven-tion and may have left disappointed in this regard. With so fewactual video game developers and publishers actually taking partin the festivities, it left a gap only filled by industries on the fringeof interactive media and entertainment.

Nevertheless, there were still an array of video game tourna-ments and playable demos on the showroom floor. There was

even a classic arcade were gamers could try their handsat the 7-foot cabinet arcades of the past and get a

taste of how gaming was like back then. Video game-inspired music and art char-

acterized the convention as a place for cre-ativity and imagination.

Orlando, a city with its fair share oftechnology and media driven industries,has once again given the public a look atemerging interactive technologies atOtronicon.

The convention fulfilled its promisedto venture into all things related to inter-active technology from video games androbotics to creative pursuits like musicand art.

OK, pop quiz time.Question 1: When humanbabies are born, what dothey eat/drink? Answer:Most of the time it istheir mother’s breastmilk. Question 2: Whenbaby cows are born, whatdo they eat/drink?Answer: Milk from theirmother’s utters.

The reason for this isthat cows produce milkfor the same reasonhumans do. Cow’s milk ismeant to raise calves.Calves are generally big,or at least larger than youand I were at birth. Doyou see where I’m goingwith this? Breast milk ismeant to nurse 8-poundbabies into 24-poundtoddlers. Cows’ milk ismeant to grow a 90-pound calf into a 2,000-pound cow in two years.

An uglier side to thistragedy is that somecalves are not so lucky toeven be breast fed. Someare sent off to becomeveal. VEAL! People actu-ally eat poor baby cows,with a side of potatoesand a Coke. Sad face.

Don’t get me wrong, Ibelieve in the food chain.I understand that we arethe greatest species andblah, blah, blah. But we’renot cavemen and womenanymore. We don’t needto hunt for our food.

Most of us, at least inthis country, have every-thing readily available forus. For those who don’t,go for it — hunt away.

Maybe that’s whatcertain groups of peopleneed to do for survival.But here, in America?

It is just time to adaptto the fact that we don’tneed to kill animals andeat meat to survive.

Once the calves aretaken away to becomedinner, the mommy cowsare hooked up, multipletimes a day, to heavy-duty milking machines.

Wait, did you actuallythink Farmer Joe wokeup at 6 a.m. every day, saton a stool and milkedeach cow with his barehands? Keep dreaming.

These machines forcecows to produce about 10times as much milk asthey would naturally fora calf. So many unnaturalhormones and chemicalsgo into this process aswell.

Think that’s painfulfor the cow? It is. Not tomention all the bloodand pus that seeps outwith the milk from theexcruciating squeezing ofeach udder (which, atthis point, is alreadyinflamed from heavyhormone manipulation.)

Not only is the entireprocess unnatural, it isjust plain unnatural forus to drink another mam-mal’s milk. We are theonly species that doesthis, and the only speciesthat continues to drinkmilk once the breast, teat,udder — whatever youwant to call it — dries up.

Luckily, there arealternatives! Now that weare all used to drinkingmilk with our cereal,chocolate milk, milkshakes, ice cream and soon, we don’t have to giveit up! What a relief, right?I can’t imagine giving upice cream. In fact, I eatice cream several times aweek and it tastes betterand is less fattening thanregular ice cream. Samegoes for milk. I could notlive without cereal, Icould eat it for every

meal. Instead of dairy milk, I

drink almond milk -- SOmuch better! Allergic tonuts? Try soy milk. Soy’snot your thing? Try ricemilk, coconut milk, thelist is practically endless.I promised tasty alterna-tives and I don’t plan onletting you down. Notonly are all of theseoptions healthier andbetter tasting, they alsolast much longer in thefridge than that gallon ofmilk you have sitting inthere right now. Bonus!

Listed below are thetop 10 reasons to ditchdairy according to ThePlant-Based Dietitian,Julieanna Hever, MS, RD.

And of course, I tookliberty upon myself tomix in some of my owncommentary and ideas.

1. Dairy destroys yourbones. Whoever madeup the rumor that milkhelps you grow yourbones big and strong is aliar. And those “GotMilk?” ads are prettycute, too. Countriesaround the world thatdrink the most dairyhave the most osteoporo-sis and hip fractures. Themore dairy you eat ordrink, the more bonedensity you lose.

2. Allergies, ear infec-tions, bronchial healthproblems, sinus issues,constipation, anemia,irritable bowel syndromeand many other condi-tions are worsened oreven brought on to beginwith by consuming dairy.

3. It smells! Seriously. Irecall some ancient issueof Seventeen magazinesuggesting to “just sayno” to ice cream afterdinner when on a date.Dairy is terrible for yourbreath! The reason forthis is that once you’redone eating something,the bacteria residesinside your mouth.

ELYSSA SCHWARTZColumnist

VEGGIN’ OUT

Bacteria breaks downthe foods into their variouscomponents as part of thedigestion process; milk, ofcourse, is primarily madeup of protein. In turn, theprotein consists of variousamino acids. As the bacte-ria are digesting theseamino acids, bacteria activ-ity gives rise to a volatileemission of sulfuric com-pounds. The more bacteriayou have in your mouth,the more sulfuric com-pounds are released andthe longer the stink willlinger. Good luck gettingthat second kiss!

As for another unattrac-tive characteristic, dairy ishighly acidic and createsexcess mucus.

4. Casein is a proteinfound in cow’s milk. Dr. T.Colin Campbell, author ofThe China Study, foundcasein to be a powerfulcancer promoter afterdecades of laboratoryresearch. He was able toturn cancer on and off sim-ply by increasing theamount of raw casein fed.

Plus, countless studieshave proven that vegansare less likely to developcancer. In fact, a vegan dietmaximizes the intake offoods that help fight can-cer. Up to 40 percent of allcancers are preventable.

5. Human beings aredesigned to drink humanmilk for a certain period oftime while we still have thespecific digestive enzymesin our stomachs. Other-wise, Mother Nature sim-ply never intended for usto drink another species’milk throughout our adultyears. Fathom that. We arethe only species that drinksthe lactation excretions ofanother species. Ew!

Additionally, the USDAdeclares what is and is notacceptable to put in ourfoods. However, what weas the public do not knowis that those same chemi-cals that are deemed unfitfor humans to eat are beingfed to the cattle — thesame cattle we get our milkand burgers from.

I know I mentioned

baby steps last week. Andthat’s completely accept-able. I know, it’s hard. Buttrust me, you’ll survive.And lucky for you you’llsurvive even longer! Sub-stitute your favoritecheeses, milks, yogurts,cream cheese and so on.

Check out Publix’s pro-duce section near theorganic veggies. Thereyou’ll find endless flavorsof cheese, even shreddedcheese for tacos, alongwith other delicious veganand vegetarian options. Goexplore. And the best partis, you wont be able totaste the difference!

The Publix Greenwisesection is also packed withnon-dairy options such asdairy-free mayonnaise.

Try the milks I listedearlier. If you happen tolive near a Whole Foods,check it out. They haveyogurts made from soy andrice.

Even if you just freeyourself from dairy for aweek you will feel a differ-ence.

The plan provides forunlimited meals at

Knightro’s and the Mar-ketplace, which is a plusfor Kennedy’s healthyappetite.

“I probably eat six orseven times a day,”Kennedy said. “I eat quitea bit.”

Kennedy also does notuse a car to get himselfaround; he relies on hisskateboard.

“I can try and find a

ride from one of myfriends if I have to, but Iskateboard everywhere,”Kennedy said.

The struggling econo-my may force many stu-dents to rethink how theyspend their money.Kennedy, Flynn and Ter-rel are three students thathave found differentways to stretch their dol-lar.

Five things I hate about dairy: More bodily harm than good

Opinionswww.CentralFloridaFuture.com • Thursday, January 20, 2011


In today’s Future, “Our Stance” is aboutgrades in higher education and the overallvalue of a college degree in today’s society.

Personally, as I have progressed throughUCF, I’ve slowly started to worry less andless about my grades.

Maybe it’s because I’m into my fifth yearat UCF, or maybe it’s because I’ve been donewith my major-related classes for more thana year now.

Either way, it almost feels like I’m spend-ing money just to reach that 120 credit hourthreshold. I understand that this is requiredfor a reason, but at the same time, I can’tblame people who lose motivation and don’treally care about their grades any more.

Throughout high school, my social lifetook a big hit because of the workloadinvolved; I would routinely come home at 3p.m. and work on tedious, dull homeworkuntil after midnight.

I learned a lot, but only when I was chal-lenged. Needless to say, high school was anuphill battle.

When I started at UCF as a history major,the challenge remained the same for me. His-tory as a study is a degree that is very inten-sive in reading, writing and research, andthese subjects are exactly what I was used tobeing tested on.

I’m very proud of my GPA in the major.What I’m not so sure of, however, are mygrades outside of it.

I was never a C student until I had com-pleted the major. Since I completed it over ayear ago, I’ve found myself studying less andless for tests.

Instead, I’ve traded that time with beingabsorbed in the lectures and reading materialfrom more of an exploratory standpoint.

This isn’t to say that I’ve learned less. I’veactually learned a lot more than I everthought I would have, especially in philoso-phy and political science classes that I’vetaken as electives.

After a while, though, regurgitation gets

old. Multiple-choice tests get old. Short IDquestions get old.

It gets to the point where you just want tosit down, read the chapter and take awayfrom it what you were meant to: an impactupon the way you see the world around you.

That being said, I have a hard time judgingpeople who earn average grades. Wheneversomeone talks about low GPA scoresadversely affecting a school and the reasonsfor those average or low scores, they oftendon’t consider all of the possible causes.

Personally, it has always been about theprofessor. My Advanced Placement U.S. His-tory teacher in high school created a veryunique atmosphere; she became very closewith all of her students and made absolutelysure that they always had an opportunity toask her questions.

Ultimately, she made it so I never, everwanted to let her down and I worked hard tomake sure that I didn’t.

Professors, by becoming more than justrepeaters of information, can create such anatmosphere. It’s not an easy thing to do, butit’s very rewarding for both parties.

For professors that I’ve hated lettingdown, I’ve earned high marks. In classes thatinvolved repetitive tests, simple lectures andcorporation-like environments, I’ve alwaysfelt a lack of motivation.

I’ve always studied and learned a lot of theinformation, but I was never worried aboutgrades in such classes.

My point is this: Numbers don’t explaineverything. I would rather come out of UCFwith a 3.2 having learned a lot than a 4.0 thatwas earned through an inordinate amount ofbusy work.

I’ve gone to schools in many places and Ican safely say that the best instructors I’veever had have been UCF-related.

So, the next time you have a heart attackabout your grades, keep in mind that collegeis about learning and growing up, not puttingdown a 4.0 in black and white.

n the time we’ve spentat UCF, we’ve realizedthat college should be

mostly about what you learnand the experiences yougain and less about thegrades you earn.

Of course, a high GPA isimportant for maintainingscholarships and graduateschool applications, but a 4.0won’t necessarily help in thereal world.

On Tuesday, a book titledAcademically Adrift: LimitedLearning on College Campus-es was released by the Uni-versity of Chicago Press.The book’s release has manypeople questioning higher-level learning institutionsand wondering what a col-lege degree is even worththese days.

The book, authored by asociology professor fromNew York University and anassistant professor of sociol-ogy at the University of Vir-ginia, focuses on a study ofmore than 2,300 undergrad-uate students at 24 higher-education establishmentsacross the country.

The whole purpose of thestudy was to determinewhat or if undergraduatesare actually learning in col-lege.

The researchersapproached this question byasking the students involvedto take the Collegiate Learn-ing Assessment both priorto and during their time incollege.

According to the test’swebsite, it is designed “toassess [students’] abilities tothink critically, reason ana-lytically, solve problems andcommunicate clearly andcogently,” all these skills

together represent a stu-dent’s ability to learn.

One would think thatthrough a student’s collegeexperience, he or she wouldsee a gradual improvementin these skill areas; theresults, however, proved thecontrary.

Of the students surveyed,36 percent “did not demon-strate any significantimprovement in learning”during their four years incollege.

For those who didimprove, the gain was mini-mal.

The researchers foundthis by using standard devia-tion to measure the stu-dent’s overall gain both atthe two- and four-yearpoints. Over the first twoyears the average gainamong students was 0.18standard deviations andafter four years the gain was0.47.

This means that afterfour years a student hasmoved from the 50th per-centile of their class to the68th percentile. However,this jump is only in compari-son to a new group of fresh-men who are just now enter-ing college.

Although the resultsshow very little gains inlearning, the authors dopoint out that the averagestudent had a respectable 3.2GPA.

The authors of the bookblame the low levels oflearning on a lack of difficul-ty in the classroom. The sur-vey answers indicated thathalf of the students nevertook a class that required atotal of 20 written pagesover the semester.

Those who were takingharder classes that requiredmore work were more likelyto excel educationallybecause of the increasedeffort level.

We shudder at thethought of all our precioustuition dollars essentiallybeing thrown away.

We came to college tolearn and improve our men-tal abilities; if that meanstaking a 4000-level classinstead of spending thesemester at the bar, so be it.

UCF students shouldn’tmerely aim to float througheasy classes. They shouldput effort into getting goodgrades in hard classes, espe-cially in light of this newresearch that suggests thatthis is the primary way toincrease learning.

It’s not just students thatneed to re-evaluate theirmethods, the study alsofound that teachers are oftenmore concerned about theirresearch than they are aboutfirst- and second-year stu-dents, which explains whyyounger students experiencethe lowest gains in learning.

Teachers shouldn’t beafraid to dish out the toughassignments to younger stu-dents; this will truly preparethem for their later yearswhere classes are more diffi-cult while simultaneouslyincreasing their learningabilities.

Although these findingsare bothersome, we hope itwill trigger some change inthe realm of higher educa-tion.

It’s our job to really chal-lenge ourselves and makethe most out of our educa-tion.

OUR STANCE

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Hard classeskey to learning

In the wake of theshootings in Tucsonrecently, I rememberhearing on the radio thatRep. Gabrielle Giffordssaid prior to the attackthat because of the politi-cal rhetoric and events oflate, she had becomeincreasingly worriedabout her safety and thatof other congressionalleaders.

In particular, she dis-cussed, after her office had beenvandalized last year, the actions ofSarah Palin, who used guncrosshairs over her district showingthat Giffords was in “her sights.”

Gun crosshairs. On a democrati-cally elected official. And she hadkept them on Giffords’ district untilthe Democratic representative wasshot while trying to hold a meetingto get to know her constituents.

Thomas Hobbes, in his bookLeviathan, claimed “...the mostnoble and profitable invention of allother, was that of Speech, consistingof Names or Appellations, and theirConnection; whereby men registertheir Thoughts; recall them whenthey are past; and also declare themone to another for mutual utilityand conversation...”

Although not a fan of Hobbesianpolitical philosophy, I will admitthat there is a certain truth to thisstatement. Language, and the waywe use language, is a very powerfultool.

As citizens, we should be awareof the type of language we use, evenwhen we are in disagreement withone another, but more importantly,our political leaders should beacutely aware of the type of lan-guage they choose to employ; espe-cially when in disagreement.

When one becomes an admiredpublic figure, there is a certainresponsibility that comes with thefame. People tend to look up to ourpolitical figures; we project ourhopes and dreams onto them, andwhen they speak, we listen.

Voter turnout for presidentialelections far exceeds the turnoutsfor congressional elections national-ly, because we feel more passionate-ly about the president than Con-gress.

The president notonly becomes our head ofgovernment, but also ourhead of state, which inturn makes him our rep-resentative to the entireworld.

When PresidentObama speaks, eventhose that are against himpolitically, listen. Thesame goes for many oth-ers in the spotlight, forbetter or for worse.

Palin has an enormous amountof power that she wields when shespeaks to Tea Partiers, and whethershe intended to do so or not, shehas become their figurehead.

As a leader, Palin should realizethat what she says and does affectsboth herself and others.

Phrases like “Kill the bill” and“Don’t retreat, reload” bringthoughts of violence, even if most ofus are balanced and mature enoughto not act upon them.

Herein lies the problem. Herwords do not discriminate onwhose ears they fall upon, andalthough most people will simplyresort to protest and the votingbooth, Palin needs to know that noteveryone receiving the messagemay be of sound mind. She shouldtake caution on the words that shechooses, because they could have aprofoundly negative effect.

I’m not blaming Palin’s politicalrhetoric for the shooting of Giffordsentirely. Jared Loughner is anextremely troubled man, whoshould have never been able to gethis hands on a weapon with such ahigh capacity magazine like he did,but I do believe that there is partialblame to be shared.

Leaders on both sides of theaisle should realize the power oftheir words and the profound effectit has on people, and next time,instead of choosing a threateningphrase or gesture that might scrapeout a few more fanatic voters, takethe high road and keep the rhetoricon a civil level.

People are smart, and if you’re agood politician, the people willunderstand the point you’re tryingto get across. The need for wartimephrases and gestures would not,and should not, be used.
