One UCF student set out to make an impact in the community last March and ended up receiving donations from across the country to benefit the Orlando Veteran’s Association. UCF senior biology major Michael Sosinski began organizing a donation drive in March. Sosinski had planned on signing up for Alternative Spring Break. When he discovered the deadline to sign up had passed, he turned his efforts to starting a letter campaign that urged friends, family, professors, parishioners, corporations and athletic teams to make donations for the Orlando Veteran’s Association. “The donation process kind of took on a life of its own once the letters were sent out. Packages were delivered and bags full of donations were dropped off at our home,” Sosinski said. Sosinski said he has always been involved with community service. He has worked with St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church,

UCF student goes cruise crazy Thousands of cruise lovers boost success of alumnus’website SALO STEINVORTZ Staff Writer
When Jason Taub went on his first cruise in high school, he wished the experience and interaction with new people would never end — then he realized that it didn’t have to. Taub, a UCF alumnus, created the website CruiseCrazies in 2001 when he was still in high school. At first, the project started as an idea to create a simple message board for cruisers to write about their experiences. Ten years later, membership has grown to 7,200. CruiseCrazies offers exclusive services, includ-
ing the opportunity to meet fellow cruisers and receive cruise discounts. It also gives members the opportunity to network for one particular reason: cruise-loving. “What’s so special about CruiseCrazies is that it’s so unique compared to other websites that offer cruise services,” Taub said. “The website is very friendly and simple to use, and there is a reason why it is tagged as the friendliest cruise community on the net.” Taub believes dedication and hard work is what gives CruiseCrazies the edge to build a familial cruise community not

Match.com spokeswoman releases statement FROM A1 and the victim. They also said these incidents extremely rare, but that fact doesn’t make them any less horrifying. “We ask all of our members to pay close attention to the safety tips for meeting offline that are on our website,” said the spokeswoman in the statement. “Match.com is a fantastic service, having changed the lives of millions of people through the relationships and marriages it has given rise to, but people have to exercise common sense and prudence with people they have just met, whether on an online dating service, through an acquaintance, at a bar or by any other means.” Police were told by the victim that she met Floyd through Match.com Thursday, May 12. The victim and Floyd shared an email conversation before exchanging cell phone numbers and chatting more. According to the report, Floyd asked the victim sexually-oriented questions that made her uncomfortable. After a dinner date at a restaurant in Sanford, the two met up again, but this time the victim followed Floyd back to his apartment located on the 5300 block of Tattinger Lane, according to the report. They reportedly began kissing while sitting on his bed and watching TV. Floyd started to perform sexual acts on her and had her perform sexual acts on him, both without her consent, according to the report. When she tried to get up and go to the bathroom, he

told her “You’re not going anywhere,” and after that he raped her anally and vaginally, according to the report. Following the incident, he let her to go to the bathroom and put her clothes on. When she returned, he was pacing and acting very nervous, according to the report, and said “I don’t know what to do with you now?” He then forced her to go to a local pharmacy with him and made her buy the morning-after pill, which he forced her take with water when she returned to his car, according to the report. She contacted her mother and went to the Sheriff’s Office after the two went back to his apartment and she left for home in her own car, according to the report. The report stated that the Seminole County Health Department conducted a sexual assault exam on the victim that revealed anal and vaginal lacerations, several reddened areas on her body and a scratch on her left ankle.
RAPE - SUGGESTIONS FOR SELF PROTECTION SAFETY AT HOME Replace or re-key locks when you move into a new home or apartment. Install a door viewer and a one-inch deadbolt lock and use them. Look before opening your door to anyone. Keep doors locked at all times and instruct children never open your door to anyone. Require all strangers to show identification. If you haven't called for a repairman, don't let one inside. Leave him waiting outside and call his place of business to verify his reason for being in your area. Rape is the fastest rising violent crime in America.What can we do to prevent this crime from happening to you? Listed below are safety tips for you to follow that can reduce your risk of assault and/or rape. Secure you car and home. Keep a large flashlight, two quarters, a map of the city you are in and five to ten dollars in your car.The flashlight can be used as a light or weapon; the quarters are for the use of a pay phone; and the five dollars is for car emergencies only (eg., new windshield wipers or gas). Always keep your doors and windows locked and evaluate the effectiveness of the locks. Never open your door to a stranger and never tell them you are alone. Avoid unsafe situations and strangers. If you are being followed, go to the nearest police or fire department, or any place where several people will be (convenience stores, gas station, etc.) Walk in groups at night. Flee if you are in a potentially dangerous situation.Yell or scream to attract attention. Carry a whistle that will make a loud noise. Engage in passive or active resistance. Passive resistance is to think and talk your way out of a situation. Active resistance is to react immediately to startle your attacker. Use any available item (hairspray, keys, purse) as a weapon. Think! Keep using your mind to think of alternative actions for escape. You are responsible for your own safety. Call your local police department or rape crisis center and set up a schedule for a Law Enforcement Officer to speak to your employees or neighbors. Don't let a stranger inside your home to use the phone; make the call for him. Never admit that you or a neighbor are home alone. Women living alone should use only initials on mailboxes and in telephone listings. Leave outside lights on at night, and keep lights on in more than one room. If you receive an obscene phone call-hang up-don't react. SAFETY TIPS WHILE WALKING • When possible, avoid walking alone.Walk with someone, or walk in areas where other people are near. • Stay in well-lit areas, away from alleys, bushes and entry ways.
• Avoid shortcuts through parks, vacant lots and other deserted places. • Don't hitchhike or accept rides form strangers. • If a driver stops to ask you directions, avoid getting near the car. • If you are being followed, go to the nearest business or residence for help. • If you are harassed by the occupants of a car, simply turn and walk the other direction.The driver will have to turn around to follow you. • Hold your purse close, not dangling, and avoid carrying extra money or valuables on your person. • When you return home, have your door key ready so that you can enter without delay. SAFETY TIPS WHILE DRIVING • Never pick up hitchhikers. • Keep car doors locked at all times.While walking to your car, look under car. • Before entering your car, look into the back seat and on floor board. • Always have your keys ready to unlock the car door and enter without delay. Never walk across the parking lot digging in your purse for your keys; have them in your hand before leaving the building. • Make certain that you have enough gas to get where you are going and always keep your vehicle in good running condition. • If possible, travel on well lighted, busy streets and avoid isolated back roads and short cuts. • If your are being followed, drive to the nearest open business for help, or drive to the Police or Fire Station. • Never leave your house keys with your car keys at a service station or parking lot. • Women driving alone should never stop to aid a stranger in a stalled vehicle. Proceed to an open business, and report the stalled vehicle to the police. • If you have trouble, raise the hood, and stay in your vehicle.When someone offers assistance, roll the window down just enough to talk to them. Ask them to stop at the first phone to call a relative, friend, garage or the police for you. Never get into a stranger's car. REPORTING A RAPE The Sheriff's Department can only arrest a criminal if they are made aware of the offense. If you are raped, call 911 or the Police or Sheriff's Department IMMEDIATELY.

Student raises more than $4,000 in donations FROM A1 Knights of Columbus and as a Florida Hospital volunteer. According to Sosinski he decided to start the donation drive after reading recent articles about injured and homeless vets. The articles made him realize what a blessed life he has and although he could not change the vets’ situation, he wanted to help them in some small way to let them know that their fellow citizens really do care. Sosinski can relate to how veterans feel because he has family and friends who have served. “My dad is a Vietnam vet, my grandpa a WWII vet and I have many high school friends who served or who are presently serving our country,” Sosinski said. Sandra Placencia, chief of Voluntary Services for the VA, said the Orlando VA serves 88,000 veterans. She said all of the donations go directly to the veterans and last year $672,231.49 worth of donations came in. “It is very important for our veterans to see the support and love given by the

community,” Placencia said. Over the course of March and April, Sosinski received more than $4,000 worth of donations. The donations included toiletries, t-shirts, baseball caps, shoes, clothing, athletic team souvenirs and a restaurant gift certificate. Sosinski said if mone-
tary donations were received, his mother used her coupon savvy and sales clearance knowledge to double or triple the donation amount in gifts. In addition to friends and family who donated, Sosinski also received donations from doctors, dentists, the UCF biology
department, NYPD Pizza, the Orlando Magic, the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Mets, the Minnesota Twins, as well as many anonymous donors. According to Sosinski, after he graduates in the spring of 2012 and plans on
attending medical school in the fall of 2012. “I was amazed at the outpouring of donations and generosity of so many people,” Sosinski said. “I know giving back will continue to be an important part of my life as I continue on into medical school and in my future, as a doctor.”
Sosinski has plans to continue the donation drive in the future. “Community involvement is important for students as it enriches each of our lives while helping others in whatever way we can. It is a responsibility and an important part of our overall education.”
Website offers networking and deals FROM A1 tion and maintenance of the website. “I know having taken the course gave me a lot of useful knowledge to be able to take the website a step further,” Taub said. “I am very glad I took that class, and if I had more time at UCF, I would’ve definitely taken more. All the tech pieces I used as the project came along, I owe it to the class and UCF.” Sophomore political science major Wes Jones has been on a total of six cruises over the years. Jones said the cruise ship atmosphere is what draws him in and he enjoys the feeling of being on an enormous ship in the middle of nowhere. Despite Jones’ history of going on cruises, he has never heard of CruiseCrazies. He said if he were to visit the site, it would be to take advantage of the cruise deals. “Because I’ve been going on cruises for so long with my family, I don’t think I’d find the
website as useful as other people because I’ll just ask my dad for help,” Jones said. “I’m not interested in the chat forums or meeting people online to go on a cruise, because with my friends we decide particularly on those aspects.” However, junior psychology major Thalia Rydz disagrees. Like Jones, she also went on a cruise last spring break, but it was her first one and her friends made all of the arrangements. “I pretty much just paid and only knew the cruise line and where we were going,” Rydz said. “Other than that, I have no idea how my friends found it.” Rydz said she hadn’t heard about CruiseCrazies either, but she plans on visiting the site to find deals the next time she has to plan a vacation. Rose Markowitz, a family friend who saw Taub’s project come to fruition, has been a member of the website for eight years. What she likes the
most about the website is that it has more options than other websites when it comes to meeting people to attend cruises with. Markowitz said this year she’s planning on going on a cruise with a family she met on the website. Markowitz has known Jason for 10 years and she’s not surprised the website has evolved into such a practical tool. She believes Jason’s hard work has been paramount in making CruiseCrazies.com the only cruise website she frequently visits. “The website offers a great deal of diverse options to read comments, post comments, even make friends with similar interests,” Markowitz said. “Jason has been open-minded to ideas members have. I think that’s very important to make the website so successful.” As for Taub, he has plans to increase the website’s number of members by promoting it through social media networks, like Facebook and Twitter.
He also wants to make CruiseCrazies more mainstream within the travel market. “Cruises are the quickest growing industry in the travel market and there’s a reason for this,” Taub said. “Cruises offer the opportunity to escape reality and be on a boat that allows for people to do as much or as little as they want. It’s all stress free. With CruiseCrazies, people have the opportunity to pass the reality in between cruises.”

Hempe’s hot streak leads No. 22 UCF past Hatters
CAVS WIN LOTTERY,TAB NO.1 AND 4 PICKS IN NBA DRAFT SECAUCUS, N.J. – The new face of the Cavaliers is 14 years old, wears a bow tie and has battled disease since birth. Nick Gilbert looks nothing like LeBron James, but on Tuesday night he brought back all the hope that left Cleveland right along with its franchise player last summer. The Cavaliers got a huge jump on their post-LeBron rebuilding process, winning the lottery and the No. 1 selection in next month’s NBA draft. “Shocking events took place last summer and it was a slow, long, painful haul to get through it. Maybe this will be the final straw in getting over the hump, getting to the other side, and having a lot of hope for the future,” Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said. “That’s what we need.” Gilbert sent his son and “hero”, 14year-old Nick Gilbert, to the stage and the kid came up with a stunning victory, as the Cavs turned a pick from the Los Angeles Clippers that had only a 2.8 percent chance of victory into the top spot. Nick Gilbert was born with Neurofibromatosis (NF), a nerve disorder that causes tumors to grow anywhere in the body at any time. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and a bow tie and looked serious until he showed a keen sense of humor in a television interview. His father called him his “hero”for the way he has fought the disease. “It’s sort of Nick fashion. He has been doing it his whole life to some degree. I’m proud of him. I’m proud of the way he carried himself and I am very excited for the fans of Cleveland, Ohio who have been through a very, very rough year,” Dan Gilbert said. “They deserve it more than anybody and they have some good hope now.” The Cavs will select first for the first time since 2003, when they drafted James out of high school. He left for Miami last summer and the Cavs tumbled to the second-worst record in the league, but they will have two top-four picks next month as they try to back owner Dan Gilbert’s boast that they would win a title before James. They already had their own pick and acquired another at the trade deadline from the Clippers in the deal for Baron Davis. Minnesota will select second and Utah turned New Jersey’s pick from the Deron Williams trade into the No. 3 selection. The Timberwolves continued their unbelievable lottery losing streak, falling to 0 for 14 and dropping for the eighth time. They had a 25 percent chance of winning after finishing with a league-worst 17-65 record. Toronto and Washington dropped to Nos. 5 and 6 and Sacramento, represented by Mayor Kevin Johnson, fell to No. 7. The draft is June 23 in Newark, N.J.

Erik Hempe more than delivered in UCF’s 7-6 victory at No. 21 Stetson on Tuesday night. The right fielder paced the No. 22 Knights (34-19) at the plate, going 4-for-5 with all four hits earning extra bases. In a six-run third inning, Hempe knocked out UCF’s second home run of the inning, a two-run shot to left field that gave the Knights a 6-1 advantage. “I knew it was gone,” Hempe said in a release. “I got a good piece and got it up in the jet stream.” Hempe later led off the fifth with his second of three doubles and came around to score what ended up being UCF’s final and winning run. Stetson scored five runs in four innings to close the gap, forcing the Knights to rely on closer Joe Rogers once again. The southpaw entered a one-run ballgame after Nick Cicio gave up a solo home run and got two outs. After striking out the first batter in the bottom of the ninth, Rogers issued a walk and gave up a single. Rogers kept his cool and induced a fly out and a ground out with the tying and winning runs aboard to earn his eighth save of the season. “At this time of year it’s all about the bottom line,” head coach Terry Rooney said in a release. “Throughout the year it’s about the process, but right now to get to where we need to get to, it’s about the bottom line.

RB STORM JOHNSON LEAVES MIAMI HURRICANES CORAL GABLES — Running back Storm Johnson is transferring out of Miami. Hurricanes coach Al Golden made the announcement Tuesday night, saying the school will assist Johnson in the transfer process. Johnson discussed the possibility of transferring from Miami at times last season, when he had nine carries for 119 yards as a freshman. Of those nine carries, four were for at least 10 yards, including a 71-yard burst against South Florida for his only Miami touchdown. Johnson is the fifth Miami player to seek a transfer this month. Johnson is from Loganville, Ga., and was projected to open 2011 as the Hurricanes' thirdstring running back.

Beau Taylor has experienced his share of ups and downs throughout his junior season. The catcher tied the school record by hitting safely in 26 consecutive games, snapping the streak on Feb. 26 against Southeastern Louisiana. But then Taylor, a career .345 hitter, saw his average fall well below .300 in the following weeks. Since then, Taylor has boosted it to .326, secondbest on the team, and after going 4-for-4 in Sunday’s finale against UAB, he was named the Conference USA Hitter of the Week.

“I guess at the beginning of the season the pressure was on me was to try to be as good as I was last year and my freshman year and I guess it kind of put a little weight on me, but I’ve got it now. I’ve figured everything out,” Taylor said. Taylor, who said he has been “doing the little things right,” credits associate head coach Cliff Godwin with his success. “In baseball, less is more with hitting; you don’t try to do too much,”

Beau Taylor was named the C-USA hitter of the week Monday and will look to continue his solid performance at the plate against Marshall this weekend.
Taylor said. “Just spending time with Coach Godwin and listening to what he has to say has helped me.” After his perfect plate performance on Sunday,
the thought of being named the Hitter of the Week hardly crossed his mind. Taylor found out in a text message he received on Monday. “I was at Josh Siebe-

Remembering Josh Siebenaler (‘08-’09) — June 6, 1987 - May 10, 2011
Siebenaler brought ‘enthusiasm’ to program, will be missed “Josh was the type of guy who kept everyone’s spirits up and stayed positive always. He was a good guy and great teammate. Everyone is affected by it because we’re all a big family. Even though he’s not on the team now, you’re forever a Knight. Playing in the same uniform as someone is something that you can never take away. Josh would want us to keep winning games and play each game like it’s our last. We’re going for it [the conference championship] for him.” — BRENNAN DOBBINS PITCHER
“Josh was an outstanding young man and it was a privilege to have coached him. He was a very hard worker and tremendous teammate. One of the great things about Josh was his enthusiasm and passion for playing baseball.” — TERRY ROONEY UCF BASEBALL HEAD COACH CFF ARCHIVE
Marshall series looms FROM A6 for UCF from 2008-2009, was Taylor’s workout partner when the catcher was a freshman. Though Taylor wasn’t able to show it at the time, he’s happy he got the award. “It feels great because my dad puts everything up on the wall that I get, and he loves it,” Taylor said. The junior joined sophomores Darnell Sweeney and D.J. Hicks as C-USA Hitters of the Week for the season; both Taylor and Sweeney earned the honor last season as well. Taylor joked that he and his teammates compete with each other now. “Darnell and D.J. got it so now Ronnie [Richardson]’s probably going to try to go for it now,” Taylor said. A game after his 4-for4 performance, Taylor went 3-for-5 at Stetson. The catcher helped lead UCF to a 4-0 week last week and now to fivestraight wins. The Knights swept UAB for the first time in program history and swept a C-USA series for the first time this season. In doing so, UCF guaranteed a spot in the C-USA Championship tournament, which is held from May 25-29. The last time the Knights made it to the CUSA Championship was in 2009. They lost to both ECU and Tulane. “It means we’re working,” Taylor said. “At the beginning of the year, we weren’t winning conference; that was the thing.
Now since we’re winning conference, we can see everything now. We just have to win this week against Marshall … to get to regionals.” UCF could be seeded as high as third or as low as seventh in the field of eight C-USA teams. ECU and Houston are currently tied for third in CUSA with 11-10 records, while Tulane, UCF and Memphis are all 10-11. “If we didn’t make it to conference, this season would be a huge letdown for us, even though we’ve had a good season,” Taylor said. “Not getting to conference would have been horrible.”
Projected Pitching Rotation Brian Adkins, Danny Winkler and Chase Bradford will likely start Thursday, Friday and Saturday, respectively. While Adkins has earned the No. 1 slot, he hasn’t gotten a win since April 29. He still has a teamhigh six wins and the second-best ERA among starters. Winkler has thrown some of his most impressive outings of the season in the past few weeks. While his record sits at 3-4, he has consistently given UCF a chance to win. He struck out 11 batters in UCF’s 53 loss to Houston on May 1, and he, along with Nick Cicio, shut out UAB in 10 innings last weekend. Bradford, who started the season as a reliever, earned his fifth win of the season last week at UAB. Bradford has just one loss on the year.
Knights riding on five-game win streak FROM A6 And we found a way to hold on to the lead and get it done.” Ray Hanson picked up his fourth win of the season, allowing three hits and two earned runs over five innings. Stetson’s closer Robbie Powell made just his second start of the season and took the loss for the Hatters (39-14). With one out in the top of the third, Powell plunked Ronnie Richardson and the Knights took immediate advantage. Beau Taylor singled and D.J. Hicks brought both around with a three-run homer.

Crêpes go wild on the UCF campus CLAYTON GREEN Contributing Writer
Alexandria Valme Favors, a UCF alumna, returned to campus with a vision to bring a new, international flavor to the Student Union she once ate in: crêpes. A traditional French staple, a crêpe is a small, very thin pancake that can be filled with toppings ranging from simple sugar to more savory items such as chicken and steak. Her restaurant, Crêpe Royale, has caught the attention of a number of students lining up to try something new. Crêpe Royale is Favors’ brainchild; family-run along with her sister, Natasha Kennedy and her uncle, Stephen Webster. Kennedy founded the website ThatsSoYummy.com, a food blog that features original recipes. She feels that the restaurant has been wellreceived so far. “It’s doing so well and it’s fresh and … it brings a little chicness and variety to the Student Union,” Kennedy said. Webster has an extensive culinary background in managing restaurants and catering operations in Kingston, Jamaica. The Student Union is Crêpe Royale’s first true home, but last year, Favors and Kennedy cooked outside of the marketplace . “We used to be outside of the Marketplace at UCF on Wednesdays for a year,” Kennedy said. “We got great feedback, great communication

Crêpe Royale employees fold the ingredients into each specially made crêpe.Fillings can range from chicken or steak to ice cream and chocolate.
from the students and from the faculty.” Kennedy said the management of Wackadoo’s approached them and offered to rent out a portion of their game room. Crêpe Royale only operated for three hours a day during its first two weeks. However, as of May 16, they will cook crêpes from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11:30 to 4:30 on Saturday. One of the more popular dishes, according to Kennedy, has been the jerk chicken crêpe. Jerk spices, a combination of allspice and the scorching Scotch bonnet peppers, are very popular in Jamaica. The heat has also caught on among customers. “People seem to love spice,” Kennedy said.
Eric Jackson, a senior electrical engineering major, said the jerk chicken is “delicious.” “I like the cheesy, meaty flavor and also the spices,” Jackson said. “It’s kind of a weird mix between the Caribbean and French flavors.” He joked that he wished they would offer a side item in addition to the crêpe. “To go along with the French theme of the restaurant, maybe they could make some French fries,” he said. Valerie Gutierrez, a senior finance major, likes the fact that they offer gelato and soft-serve ice cream. “I think it will stand out more because it serves ice cream and gelatos than the actual crêpe itself because I don’t think there is anywhere on campus that you can get ice
cream,” Gutierrez said. “People will go there and try a crêpe, and if they like it they’ll keep getting them, but if nothing else, they’re still gonna have ice cream and gelato.” Gutierrez felt though that the size of the restaurant was a bit too small. “As soon as you walk in [the Student Union] you’ll see it and it’s to the front, but I do think it’s really small,” she said. “There’s not a lot of seating and I can see it on a busy day: the line’s gonna be ridiculous and it might actually make people not want to go there.” A Miami native, Kennedy hopes to see crêpes catch on permanently at UCF. “Crêpes are very big in Miami so [Favors] thought why don’t we bring something like that to Orlando,” Kennedy said.

Balancing time helps combat stress addiction How much is on your plate? No, not your dinner plate: your life plate. How many servings of time-consuming activities do you pile on? Ever go back for seconds? My plate is always overflowing. I seldom have time to come up for air between each spoonful.

When stressed, the body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol that increase heart rate, elevate blood pressure and increase glucose, a type of sugar, in the bloodstream. These responses cause the addiction-like tension. College students are no stranger to such stressinduced adrenaline rushes.

The last time Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) played at the UCF Arena, it was in December of 2008 — a year before founding member and drummer James “The Rev” Sullivan died of acute intoxication and complications due to an enlarged heart. Nearly two years after The Rev’s death, A7X had their UCF homecoming May 9 at the Arena on their “Welcome to the Family” tour and the return was well-received. “Orlando is like a second home to us,” said frontman M. Shadows to the sold-out crowd. “You guys have been awesome, showing love for us after we lost The Rev. We just want to thank you for all of the support.” The Rev’s replacement on the drums, Arin Ilejay, did not disappoint. Ilejay easily threw down the same, fast, double-bass beats The Rev was famous for in unison with pyrotechnics on the stage. Shadows, along with insync guitarists Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, were absolute crowdpleasers. Along with the pyrotechnics throughout the performance, A7X’s set was accessorized with smoke, various lighting styles and an introduction that featured a person dangling from a noose above the stage during the song “Nightmare”. The hangman intro was extremely graphic and bloody (fake, of course), to the delight of the crowd. Before A7X and the hangman graced the stage, Three Days Grace and Bullet for my Valentine each performed one-hour sets. Three Days Grace, the most radio-friendly of the three bands, played their
usual radio hits like “Pain” and “Never Too Late,” but especially impressed the crowd when they broke out into a rock rendition of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” Bullet for my Valentine entered the stage to the crowd’s chants of “Bullet! Bullet! Bullet!” and opened up with “Your Betrayal,” arguably their biggest hit. Bullet’s bassist, the mohawk-sporting Jay James, brought tons of energy to the performance and had the most stage presence. In a night filled with hardcore guitar riffs, double-bass drums and graphic visuals, the at-capacity UCF Arena was not disappointed. Toward the end of the show, Shadows of A7X asked the crowd, “Why the f*** did it take us so long to get back to Orlando?” At the end of the show, the crowd was left wondering the same thing.

Stress not part of healthy diet FROM A8 week.” On the more lifethreatening side, stress can lead to heart disease and suppression of the immune system. So my advice to you: don’t bite off more than you can chew. Do not be fooled by your smaller-than-average credit load; summer classes are notoriously
fast-paced. As tempting as it is for us newly-diagnosed stress addicts to go overboard, set a realistic limit. The beginning of a new semester is a great time to evaluate what you are capable of managing. When you are able to handle your daily activities successfully and with minimal stress, feel free to add some dessert to your plate.

OUR STANCE
Keep bin Laden photos private I
n the wake of Osama bin Laden’s death, we as Americans have been debating whether or not photographs of his corpse should be released. Some organizations, such as the Associated Press and Judicial Watch, have filed Freedom of Information Act requests to have these photographs released. Rather than release the photos to the public, President Obama has chosen to only allow certain key members of Congress to view the photographs. This is the correct approach to take because the release of these photos would not be in the national interest. He is dead, absolutely and indisputably. The death of Osama bin Laden has already been confirmed through DNA evidence. The Huffington Post recently reported that alQaida confirmed the death of bin Laden, and CNN recently reported that the Taliban confirmed his death. Members of Congress have confirmed his death. Republican Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has confirmed the gruesomeness of these photos and was quoted as confirming his death in a recent article on CNN’s website. “That was him,” Inhofe said. “He is gone. He is histo-
ry.” Inhofe has called for at least partial release of the photos, and others, like U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) have called for the full release of the photos. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (DFla.) has also seen the photographs and stated that he has no doubt that they were authentic. According to the Pensacola News Journal, he has written a letter to the president stating that he does not agree with the immediate release of the photos. While it is proper for the president to make these photos available to members of Congress that are responsible for oversight of intelligence agencies and other parts of government, the full release of the photographs will not serve our national security interests. There is absolutely no doubt that the death of bin Laden was an important strategic victory for the United States in the battle against al-Qaida. The release of these photos, however, would make us look like we are taking a victory lap when we need to be treading very carefully. The belief that Americans are gloating over bin Laden’s death could create a backlash against the United States. This action could be misconstrued by our allies in the Middle East as an example of
American arrogance and bravado at a time when we badly need to maintain their support. We are going to need the support of our Arab allies and the world as a whole if we intend to win the war against al-Qaida. Releasing these photographs could increase tensions with many countries that we have long considered friends. The photographs could also be used as a recruitment tool for terrorists. If the photos were released publicly, it would be very easy for terrorists to trot the photos around and point to them as a symbol of American brutality. This could ultimately lead to many new recruits joining networks such as al-Qaida due to being misinformed about who we are as a country. Those who are convinced that bin Laden isn’t dead are not likely to have their convictions overturned by the release of these photos. There will no doubt be some conspiracy theorist out there that will say that the photos were doctored and that it isn’t him. If anything, it is likely to harden the resolve of these individuals rather than soften it. The photographs of bin Laden’s corpse should remain classified.

“Yes,I think a lot of people on welfare use their money on things that aren’t important.”
“Yes,because it can easily be abused and it is already.It would prevent people taking advantage of the system.”
“No,because I feel like you’re judging them in a way because you’re prejudice and stereotyping them just because they’re on welfare.”
