Smoke On, Ready... BREAK! Bringing You Celebrating 40 Years of Sun ‘n Fun A BIG Show

Matthew Rutowski Correspondent

Amidst the crowd were thousands of representatives from different corporations, manufacturers, universities and vendors at the annual Sun ‘n Fun 2014 Expo at Lakeland Linder this past weekend.

Companies take this unique and rare opportunity to reveal new technology, offer outrageously cheap deals and interact one on one with their clientele, both old and new.

This past expo was particularly special for one ERAU alumni, William Hecksteden of the Class of 2013. Since 2011 Will has worked with his co-founder Will Goldstein on their company Pilot Mission to bring

something new to the market and to change the lives of many in aviation.

Pilot Mission began with their first product developed for flight students at check-ride looking for that comprehensive study guide. Their T-Ref™ is an 8 ½ by 11 tri-fold booklet jam packed with all the pertinent info the checkpilot will ask you.

“We wanted to put everything all in one place when it comes time to prepare for the checkride… we put together key points specifically from check examiners to make sure pilots are ready” Goldstein said.

Pilot Mission currently produces these aids for Private Pilot, Instrument and Flight Weather.

A Building to “Capture The Spirit of Our Students” Zack Wilkinson News Editor Embry-Riddle is a dynamic University representing many cultures, peoples, backgrounds and disciplines. For an institution to remain at the forefront of it’s field it must have a strong vision and be willing to change. Therefore, it must occasionally be transformed to meet its goals and better the resources available to its students.

“Take a look at what’s been added in just the last ten years,” said President John P. Johnson, pointing to a recently taken aerial photo of campus, “We’ve built more than six new buildings and a state of the art athletic facility.” He also noted that during that time, the degree programs available to students at Embry-Riddle have doubled, and the University has gone from having no Ph.D. programs to five. “We’ve spent about 300 million on expansion, and we plan to spend about 300 million more,” noted Johnson.

The Student Union building has been in the planning stage for many months.

Hailed as the ‘Solution to the Riddle-Runaround’, it will bring several Universi-

ty departments and student resources together under one roof. After missing an initial deadline for architect selection of last November, planners have yet to settle on a builder. Dr. John P. Johnson, the President of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and John Christian, the SGA President, met in a town hall style meeting in the UC last Thursday to inform the students of the progress on the Student Union and allow questions.

Pizza and refreshments were provided for the first to arrive at the meeting.

An undertaking like this is “Not something that can be taken lightly, it’s very important that we take our time.” said Johnson. The recently completed College of Arts and Sciences was built in a record 15 months, being 140,000 square feet, it was no small job. At a planned “Four or five” stories, “This building will be bigger, it will be the biggest building on campus,” said Johnson. Referring to the Student Union’s initial architect proposals, Johnson said, “We just didn’t see the drawings fitting into our campus, we only have one chance to do this right.” The search for the architect is beginning again, and once selected,

planning will take around ten months. The location of the Student Union is currently, ‘up in the air’, as Dr. Johnson discussed the pros and cons of locating it in the place of the current library or in the location of the existing UC. Student questions were taken by Dr. Johnson as well as Chris Hardesty, the Director of Planning and Construction Management at Embry-Riddle. From indoor pools to bowling alleys, the students had lots of inventive ideas for University Administration, but some more serious ideas were expressed.

For example, ERAU student and Resident Advisor, Avi Shemesh, asked if storage space would be available for student organizations.

“With P.R.I.D.E. we often go to events in Orlando and we have to pay a lot of money to store supplies like floats year-round.”

President Johnson liked the idea and noted that something could be done, even if it became another project altogether. Much discussion rested on study areas and student resources, “The library is always Jampacked in the evening” said ERAU student Rebecca Love, “Will the new building

have enough study spaces for us?” President Johnson assured her that the Student Union would be built with group study areas as well as electronic media resources for students to use. “We will have the same number of computers and study areas as the Library,” said Johnson. Parking is always a hot issue among students, and a rowdy applause filled the room when Johnson mentioned the possibility of one “Or maybe even two” parking garages that could be constructed on campus.

“Boy, they really want those” remarked President Johnson after the topic arose a second time. It was openly acknowledged that parking is a big issue students have with our current campus, “If you don’t get here before 8 a.m. you’re gonna have a bad time” said one student.

The Jack R. Hunt Library is currently set to be demolished in the fall of 2014, with construction of the Student Union beginning in the spring of 2015. Those dates are subject to change. “It is a very exciting time to be at Embry-Riddle, this is your building, and we want it to be a beautiful building.” Said President Johnson at the close of the meeting.

Jennifer Grimes Correspondent

A former Embry-Riddle All-Conference Women’s Soccer player and 2001 graduate in Aeronautical Science had been accustomed to battles on the soccer field and adversity in the classroom. It was the curve ball thrown at her nearly a decade later that has given Kate Schweikert Waidmann the challenge of a lifetime.

Waidmann, 34, was diagnosed with appendix cancer in Sept. 2012 after arriving to the hospital with abdominal pain. It wasn’t long after that the doctors found the cancer spreading. In a difficult,

Just before Christmas of 2013, Waidmann received a gift from a Grinch. Her scan showed that the cancer had come back more vigorously than before with a tumor about the size of one golf ball attached to the outside of her bladder, and three more tumors in her liver.

“I’m currently on my third chemo treatment in a round of four. Unfortunately because of the aggressive nature of my cancer I will remain on chemotherapy indefinitely,” remarked Waidmann.

Last year, members of the ERAU community banded together for the “We Are 1 Run,” a 200-mile relay-

ties, ends with a grand finish line on the ERAU Soccer Field, a location that is still near and dear in Kate’s heart.

According to Kate, the support from her Eagle family is mind boggling.

Even though she graduated over a decade ago, she still feels at home with welcoming open arms when she comes back to Daytona Beach.

“The support aspect is amazing,” said Kate. “Staff from the athletic department, athletes, students, fraternities all teaming up to help. People I don’t know and may never have the chance to meet rallying behind me, pushing for me to win.”

nature on the ERAU campus. When asked to volunteer her own time to help another person, Katherine Ebbs, a second year ERAU Women’s soccer team member, saw it was an honor, not an annoyance.

“It does not matter whether or not we know each other well; it matters that she is, and always will be, an Eagle,” said Ebbs.

“So when being asked to fundraise for Kate, it’s a pleasure.”

The weekend of the Color Me Kate run will not only be accompanied by present ERAU students, faculty, and staff, but also some of Waidmann’s fellow teammates who will be also be in town for the Annual

In Jan. 2013, Waidmann went to Washington to undergo cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC treatments. This has been the preferred approach for cancers lining the abdominal cavity. She was the perfect candidate, with the cancer having spread to her colon and exposed to her abdominal cavity.

“I lost my ovaries, uterus, right kidney, right ureter, gall bladder, and portions of my intestines and colon,” said Waidmann. “Once I recovered from that surgery I went back for six more cycles of chemo. Once I finished that I enjoyed six months

The Eagles are doing it again.

On Sunday, April 13, ERAU Athletics, in conjunction with the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity (FIJI), will be hosting a fun day in Kate Waidmann’s honor. “Color Me Kate” is a 5k color run that will be taking place on the east side of the ERAU campus.

The run will start at the south end of the ICI center, and after a couple loops around the athletic facili-

Waidmann’s incredibly hard-fought journey has inspired a group of girls that are in the same place Kate was just 13 years ago.

The members of the ERAU Women’s Soccer team each feel a connection to Kate and are constantly reminded to work harder and push through when they think they are having a tough day.

“Kate’s journey has been a part of our team for a while since she is still considered family,” stated Andrea Skjold Froshaug, a first year member of the Eagles squad. “She has brought a reminder to our team to never give up when facing adversity on and off the field.”

The friendships made on the soccer field, according to Kate, have turned into lifelong relations. Color Me Kate is the day the entire ERAU community will team up with one goal in mind: Raise money for Kate. And what better place to host the finish line and post-run party than in the ERAU Soccer Stadium?

“Even while I was in the hospital,” said Kate, “I walked and walked and walked those halls, IV pole in trail, because I set the goal that I would like to be able to walk or run in the Color Me Kate.”

Naval ROTC to Present Colors Sherry Kiefer Naval ROTC Naval ROTC will host its eleventh annual Color Parade and Awards Ceremony on Thursday, April 17 at 4:00 pm on the soccer field next to Embry-Riddle’s ICI Center.

Throughout history, militaries around the world have held Color Parades.

Originally they were held to awe visiting dignitaries, then they were held to honor a military unit, or they were held to give a unit one last Hoorah before sending them off to battle, but always it was used to honor the sacrifices of the unit and the men who came before.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit continues this tradition with their annual Color Parade. Hon-

ored guests from both the school and around the nation, both civilian and military, have been invited to observe this timeless tradition of military bearing and precision.

This event marks the end of a rigorous academic year for the 120 Midshipmen in the ERAU Battalion. Guest speaker Rear Admiral Rick L. Williamson, United States Navy, Commander, Navy Region Southeast, will speak about the virtues held dear by men and women throughout the United States Military; it will culminate in the traditional Pass-in-Review, where the NROTC unit will march past the crowd, rendering the proper honors to the officers and guests observing the event. Music for the ceremony will be provided

by Navy Band Southeast’s “Ceremonial Band”, under

the direction of Chief Musician Charity Barron.

The Battalion would like to invite the student

and faculty from ERAU to attend this event, and look

forward to sharing this bit of Naval Tradition.

A Look into What London Has to Offer Mark Fetters Correspondent London the city of rain (okay maybe not, but it does rain a lot) where it’s okay to drive on the opposite side of the road, have after-noon tea and explore some of the most famous sights in the world. Be prepared because London is not a very cheap city, as the Pound is nearly twice as strong as the dollar. Don’t let that get you down as London is one of my favorite cities. From the airport there are three ways to get to the city and both involve the train. You can take the more expensive option of the Heathrow Express or Connect ($30 or $20) which will drop you off at Paddington Station. The cheaper option is the famous

Underground (tube) which takes a little over an hour to get into London. Once in London, there is so much to see and explore, practice your Royal Guard stance in front of Buckingham palace where you might even seen the Queen. A walk down the River Thames and you can see the London Eye, Big Ben, London Bridge ( hope it does not fall) and Tower Bridge. Not far from Big Ben is the Famous Westminster Abbey where Will and Kate were married. You can’t go to London and not ride the double decker bus. If you are into museums, London is for you as all the museums are free to enter. The British Museum is home to the Rosette Stone and other famous works of art. A great place to grab dinner is Tra-

falgar Square with many options of local foods and plenty of shopping. A short walk up the road, and you arrive in the Soho district and Piccadilly Circus; for the fans of Sherlock Holmes this is where the opening credits took place and a few scenes.

Also in London is 221B Baker Street where Sherlock Holmes lived, and you can tour his home. A supporter of a certain team or not taking in a soccer (football) game of one of the many English Premier League is a great way to see the most loyal fans of any sporting event. London has so much to offer and would require a whole paper to talk about, but if you get the chance to go, you will not regret it and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did.

08 SGA ASA Adopts a Bed April

Page

Believe it or not, the SGA is very active throughout the summer, and this year will be no exception.

Our goal for next year is to continue where John, Gabbie and Vince left it.

More specifically, we want to continue building school spirit by increasing communication between the SGA and the student body, supporting the different projects and events that our students dedicate their time to, focusing on the New Student Union center and so much more. For us to inculcate this vision of a better campus, for us to build the ERAU Family, we need your help. Whether it’s coming out and showing your support to athletics and student organizations, or giving your suggestions and voicing your opinion to your SGA, we need you.

This is going to be an exciting year, our campus is growing in students and buildings, Athletics is moving up to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and we continue to add organizations for students to get involved. I am proud to be an Embry-Riddle Eagle and very thrilled to begin serving you as President of the SGA. Please feel free to stop by the office at your leisure, my door will be open.

Go Eagles!

Alonzo Sweet COA Representative The Environmental Awareness Committee (EAC) is proud of the work the African Students Association (ASA) has done on their adopt a bed program.

Their work has maintained the flowerbeds next to the Center for Faith and Spiri-

tuality (commonly known as the Chapel). The EAC is proud to finally deliver a sign to the ASA so they can claim their flower bed and gain recognition for the hard work they’ve done.

The ASA assists the grounds department with the maintenance of the South area of the chapel, and recently they have begun work on

the north side of the chapel. The assistance consists of picking weeds, redistributing mulch which is washed away by heavy rains and removing plants which were initially placed too close to the chapel. Some of the plants placed near the chapel were dying because they were located in a shady area. The ASA relocated the

plants to a location further from the building to bring more sun to them. By doing this, the plants were able to grow and flourish, all thanks to ASA. The Flower Beds around the Chapel look amazing because of the ASA; the SGA and grounds department appreciates the hard work and dedication that they put in.

Helping You Get Your Grade Adegoke Adelabu COE Representative The SGA is delighted to announce the launch of a unique service that provides students with the opportunity to increase their ability to get the letter grade in a course.

Most students want a particular grade, and most professors know that.

However, the professors cannot provide a copy of the book to each student

in the class, so students who do not have a copy of the book have to use the ones on reserve in the Library. Thus, the SGA has come up with a unique service.

The unique service is a program where books that are often checked out in the library are now increased by at least one copy each. For this reason, SGA has purchased books that needed extra copies on reserve

for students to check out and help get that letter grade they desire.

This semester, the SGA purchased the following books: The Economic Way of Thinking 13th edition, Statics and Mechanics of Materials 4th edition, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics 7th edition, Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications 3rd edition and Electrical

Engineering Principles and Applications 6th edition.

If you have any other books that you would like to see on reserve in the library, please stop by the SGA office at SC 104 and drop off the list. You could also drop off the list of books that professors use or recommend in classes but are not on reserve in the Library. The SGA is willing to help you get the grade you desire, all you need to do is ask for help.

Join The Flight of Leadership Christina Alford COE Representative Everyone is invited to the 2014 Flight of Leadership: Putting Pieces Together Conference, the inaugural event for the newLeadership Enhancement Program (LEP)! The Flight of Leadership Conference is sponsored by the scholars of the 2013-2014 LEP initiative of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and will be held Friday, April 18, 2014 at the Henderson Welcome Center.

You will have the unique opportunity to see the highlights of the scholars’ quest

to become better leaders.

You will hear from many dynamic speakers, each with demonstrated leadership success, offering hands on activities and anecdotes to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the topics. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to interact with our leaders and share your knowledge and insights. By the end of the conference, expect to understand how each critical piece of the leadership puzzle ultimately joins together forming the Flight of Leadership.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Greek Week Brings Unity Andre Prescott IFC President Every year, the Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) community gets together throughout the course of a week to compete in some of the craziest events you could imagine. Rivalries are apparent during Greek Week, and the competitive spirit breeds entertainment, and believe it or not amazing philanthropic feats. This year’s Greek Week was unique in one key aspect, and that is for the first time in years, the InterFraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) worked together to produce the events you have been seeing on campus. For the unaffiliated, this may not seem like a big deal, but

the fact that three very different communities were able to cooperate and help in producing Greek Week is a milestone in the FSL community and proves the validity of our vision of Greek unity.

This year, we started the week with our very first Waterballoon Battleship, where blindfolded midshipmen had to toss balloons over a volleyball net and rely on the leadership skills of their team captain. On Tuesday and Wednesday we repeated the most popular Chariot Race and Boat Race, and on Thursday we inaugurated a very unique Relay Race, where teams relied on skills they would have otherwise never known they possessed. Throughout the entire week we also hosted Penny Wars, and

thanks to the competitive spirit of our community, we have raised over $3000 for Food Brings Hope and a philanthropic cause of the winner’s choice.

Many of our chapters put a tremendous amount of work into making Greek Week what it is, and this year Theta Phi Alpha took first place for the Sorority competition, and Lambda Chi Alpha for the Fraternity competition. The overall winner of Penny Wars was Delta Chi. While many of the victories throughout this week have been counted as points and scores, this year has proved once again what the ERAU Greek community is capable of. For all these reasons and many more, this is a community I feel proud to represent, and that is a victory in my book.

Russia, Ukraine, Crimea, Oh My

Himani Parekh Staff Reporter

There’s this thing about humanity: it’s like a child that can’t sit still.

March 18, 2014.

Vladimir Putin signs a treaty that annexes Crimea, a former autonomous region attached to Ukraine, after unidentified, quite evidently Russian troops occupy the region and oversee a referendum on the secession of Crimea. Apparently, the rights of the majority Russian population of the region were being honored. Really, it was a retaliation after protests against unpopular Ukrainian ex-Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, who favored stronger ties with Russia, caused the flight of Yanukovych to Russia and the election of a new administration in favor of joining the Euro-

pean Union.

Since then, lots of statements have been made.

Putin has expressed contentment with the taking of Crimea and has claimed no desire to make a move on Ukraine.

The United States and the European Union have denounced Russia’s actions and placed trade sanctions on individuals involved in the actions regarding Crimea. Current Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk has promised to not seek further ties with the European Union as a means to pacify Russia.

References to a third world war and the actions of the fascists in the last world war have flown like teasing snowballs thrown by mean kids in the school yard. A big escalation over a little almost-island.

There is no way to predict how events will

fall out from here. Other countries in the east, particularly Japan, have expressed concern that the United States will not be able to uphold its promises to protect its allies should other nations, such as China, attempt to follow Russia’s example. The concerns are legitimate. A country has moved to change the status quo of power and as yet, the only opposition it has received is words criticizing its actions. Like a child that’s found no repercussions for ignoring a “Do Not Enter” sign, Russia has shrugged at the sanctions placed by the rest of the West.

Military action is not preferable, but sadly, it is only too evident that humanity cannot sit still and avoid conflict. For all the world’s understanding that conflict is a debilitating cycle that, given

today’s advanced technology (yes, I mean nuclear weaponry), has the potential to wipe out humanity itself, the human desire for power is…overpowering. Russia is not content to let the United States and the European Union be the dominating force in world politics; Putin himself stated that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was the last century’s greatest geopolitical tragedy. Putin seeks to change the power balance, evidently by the most common means available to mankind: force.

The stupidity of such a move to change the status quo is mind-boggling. While the desire for power is understandable, considering even the United States enjoys being the leading international force, the willingness to risk the lives of so many people and the

unconcerned acceptance of the possibility of tearing apart the very fabric of current international society are reckless atti-

tudes given the ability of modern-day weaponry and the current state of the world socially, and economically.

Sin in the Skies ERRSA Spotlight: Your Home Away From Home Jeff Icker Correspondent

Photo Courtesy: lovecloud.com This Cessna 421 is equipped for your pleasure.

Jeff Icker Correspondent Ever wondered what it would be like to join the mile high club? For a price, you can easily share in this exclusive fellowship. Love Cloud, a company based in Las Vegas, brings the experience to consumers in a lush setting exactly one mile above the ground.

Love Cloud enlists a Cesna 421 dubbed the “Golden Eagle” to ferry clients into the skies over Nevada. This twin-engine passenger plane normally seats six, but the Golden Eagle has been retrofitted with a lavish section for relaxation. Equipped with a foam mattress and pillows of high caliber, the Golden Eagle resembles Austin Power’s per-

sonal conveyance. Love Cloud also equipped the 421 with JBL Pulse wireless sound and lighting.

If you desire you can provide your own playlist for the trip or create one from the Love Cloud collection.

Offering both day and night flights; there are multiple ways to experience the skies of Las Vegas.

During the day the flights will provide scenic views of Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lake Meade and the Las Vegas strip. Nighttime flights will hold pattern over the Las Vegas strip with a low pass over the lights as a final flourish.

If your concern falls on privacy, Love Cloud has taken great lengths to keep clients activities confidential. Not only is the pilot sequestered in

the cockpit, they are well equipped with noise cancelling headphones.

This keeps the intimate activities discreet. For safety passengers are given the standard safety brief and per the law remain seat belted in until at the proper cruising altitude.

A professional deep clean after every flight rounds out the behind the scenes services, eliminating a dirty experience and putting clients at ease.

Capitalizing on fantasy and flight, Love Cloud provides a sensual service in a safe way that sates the appetites for an experience that many talk about. It shows that even when you think everything aviation has already been done, there is still uncharted sky out there.

Have you ever sat in your dorm wondering what to do to relax? I know I have been asked many times, “What is there to do around here?” which is quickly followed by the, “Oh, I don’t have a car” argument. While there are many fine clubs and extracurricular activities you can be involved with on campus, many require a substantial investment of time. Something not everyone is willing to easily part with.

Relaxation and recreation are essential in dealing with the stresses of life; so now we ask where can we relax and have fun, but not invest myself to the point of harming my grades?

The Embry-Riddle Resident Student Association is the answer.

Knowing that many residents are away from home for the first time in their lives, ERRSA adopted the mission statement of “Your home away from home.” All of the members strive to better not

only the rooms you live in, but the community around us too. They sponsor events around campus such as the upcoming Luau BBQ on April 11. If you are interested in having a say in what goes on concerning housing, go to one of the weekly meetings held in the Fountain Room of the Student Village; Wednesdays at 2030.

Lounge hours are seven days a week 1700-2300 except during the aforementioned weekly caucus.

You’ll find that ERRSA doesn’t just plan things for you to do, but they also provide the opportunity to check out cleaning supplies and even movies or video games. No entertainment systems in your dorm room could be a problem, but ERRSA has several TVs and gaming systems you can use right there at the lounge.

Like me, you are probably asking what the catch is by now. Once you register in the ERRSA system and provide a meager ten dollars, you obtain the benefits of rental.

Visitors that wish to just

hang about in the lounge will find a bevy of board games, a smattering of shows and always friendly faces. ERRSA members treat each other like a second family and residents can easily connect with any member staffing the lounge. Summer support is currently in question although it may very well be a possibility.

Going away for the summer, or leaving permanently? Always accepting donations for unwanted or unused items, ERRSA will take your generosity and repurpose it back into the ERAU community.

Resident halls also receive support when an RA wishes to provide a program of their choosing to their residents. RAs can supplement their operating fund with the ERRSA coffers, all for the benefit of residents. Upcoming events planned for this month include another Mega Game Night (4/18), the Luau BBQ (4/11) and the Spring Midnight Breakfast. So come out and join in the community, it’s what we make it.

Airshow Center Mustangs and Mustangs

Polk, City Florida April 5th, 2014 • Kermit Week’s Famous Fantast of Flight Museum will be hosting their final Mustangs and Mustangs airshow for an indefinate amount of time. It will feature _________

Hecksteden and Goldstein had something new up their sleeve this week however.

Their newest product is called PlaneLogix, a new way for aircraft owners to accurately keep track of their maintenance logs digitally. With PlaneLogix, an aircraft owner first sends their maintenance records

to Pilot Mission, and all records are scanned and transcribed into the program. Once the records have been transferred, the records are sent back along with the login information for their online portal to access all data in real time. “We have a one week turnaround time on the maintenance logs, and can even do it in as little as three days for an extra charge” Will Hecksteden explained. Aircraft

owners can download all records through PDF, and also through their new app available on the Apple platform. Currently in BETA form, the new interactive PlaneLogix app creates reports based on the statistics and data of the aircraft, as well as highlight discrepancies and prompt reminders when important deadlines are approaching such as annuals, AD’s, SB’s, registration, and

much more. PlaneLogix covers everything from preventative maintenance all the way through FAA 337. PlaneLogix allows the owner to add further records on their own to maintain the log and keep everything current. Furthermore, a mechanic’s portal has been created to allow A&P’s to E-Sign new records, falling within compliance of FAA regs. PlaneLogix currently holds a clientele most-

ly comprised of personal aircraft owners since the release six months ago.

Hecksteden and Goldstein have plans to expand the product however and intend to reach the market of corporate aviation and flight schools. As they quickly found out, Sun ‘n Fun was certainly the place to start. You will find Pilot Mission at Oshkosh this summer, and can learn more online at www.pilotmission.com.

The tour of the studio lasted an hour and includ-

computers and software, which streamlines the process to get a picture on live TV. The entire tour lasted two hours, including the 12:00 newscast and

a time for questions and answers with the anchor and weatherman, which proved to be two hours well spent. The insight and information given from

everyone at the station was well received, and helped mold the minds of many students who are currently in the field reporting course.

This technology was used to look at chemical bar codes through the aluminum skin on the shuttles. KeyMaster then developed the technology into a detector for testing vacuum cleaner efficiency by quantifying the amount of dirt left remaining in the carpet after the vacuum is used. The sensor can also determine the amount of water remaining in the carpet after a wet vacuum is used.

Baseball Shuts Out Florida Memorial on Saturday for Series Sweep

Lakeland, Fla. 3:00 p.m.

Embry-Riddle: 10 Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics The 15th-ranked Embry-Riddle baseball team moved two wins closer to capturing the program's 15th regular season conference title with a pair of Saturday shutouts, 8-0 and 10-0 over Florida Memorial. The Eagles (30-14, 19-2) earned the 21st consecutive 30-win season with the series sweep of the Lions (8-29, 3-16) while putting their magic number to capture the conference crown at two.

Stetson Nelson and Corey Tufts threw seven-hit and two-hit shutouts respectively while the ERAU offense recorded double digit hits in both contests, stretching its streak to six straight games with at least 10 base hits. Tufts retired the final 18 batters of the second game for his third shutout of the year.

Neither game was close as the Eagles scored early in both contests and added plenty of runs over the course of the

Florida Memorial: 0 afternoon. Liam Goodall paced the Eagle offensive effort with six hits, three RBIs and four runs while Kevin Lindheim had four hits, six RBIs and three runs for the Blue and Gold.

Embry-Riddle travles to No. 16 Brewton-Parker on Tuesday, April 8 for a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. before trekking to Miami Gardens, Fla. for a Sun Conference series against St. Thomas (April 11-12).

Game 1 In the day's opener, the Blue and Gold scored two in the first and never looked back, cruising to an 8-0 victory to claim the series over FMU. Nelson issued a leadoff walk before a base hit glanced off his leg in the first, but the Lions elected not to bunt and Nelson got out of the frame with a strikeout and 6-4-3 double play.

Kyle Chastain walked and moved to third on

a failed pickoff attempt before Goodall collected the first of his three RBIs on a single to right. The right fielder misplayed the ball and Goodall ended up at third, scoring on a Lindheim groundout for a 2-0 ERAU lead.

Kyle Buchanan extended the Eagle lead to 3-0 with a double in the second, plating Hankamer all the way from first.

Nelson faced the minimum in the second, third and fourth, and ERAU got two more runs on a Goodall triple to right center, his fifth of the 2014 season, scoring Buchanan and Hunter Bruehl for a 5-0 advantage.

Nelson worked quickly through the top of the seventh and the Eagles put the game out of reach with a three-run eighth as Lindheim, Jake Cavender and Jordan Johnson all recorded RBI base hits.

Despite giving up three hits in the eighth, Nelson was able to minimize the damage with a strikeout and groundout, getting a 9-3-5 putout as a Lion baserunner was caught off third following a base hit.

Bruce Wong worked around a hit by pitch and two-out single, stranding two Lions with a line out from Brian Gonzalez to end the game.

Nelson (8-2) pitched eight innings, scattering seven hits and two walks while striking out six. Eight Eagles collected a hit, led by Goodall's 4-for5 game, falling just a home run short of the cycle.

Game 2

The series finale was a run-rule shortened affair as the Eagles scored six early runs in the first two frames and four over the next four innings to take the 10-0 decision in seven innings.

Tufts allowed one of two base hits in the first, but stranded the runner with a fly out off the bat of Chris Perez. Eduardo Delgado struggled on the mound for FMU as the Blue and Gold scored three runs in the first on just one hit while the Lions committed two errors.

Florida Memorial got a leadoff single in the second, but Tufts would not allow another the rest of the game.

With a 3-0 lead, the Eagles put another crooked number on the scoreboard as Chastain, Lindheim and Darryl Knight all recorded RBIs in the frame for a 6-0 ERAU cushion.

Delgado and Tufts pitched scoreless thirds, but Phil Chen, after relieving Delgado in the fourth, allowed an Eagle run when Lindheim singled in Chastain for a 7-0 lead.

After the leadoff single in the top of the second, Tufts was untouchable, retiring the final 18 batters of the contest as the Eagles touched home twice in the sixth and once in the seventh to account for the 10-0 final.

Tufts (8-2) won his fourth straight start with a seven-inning complete game shutout, his second complete game in as many starts.

Lindheim was 3-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs while Goodall finished 2-for-3 with two runs in the win.

Summer Movies Heat Up with The Winter Soldier

Matthew Liddell Correspondent The summer movie season has started early with the release of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and if this film is any indication, then we are off to a very good start. “Winter Soldier” is a fast, brutal and intense entry into the Marvel franchise, and stands as one of the best superhero films in a good while.

We last saw Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) recently unfrozen and tasked with protecting the new world of the 21st Century. This is a world he is unfamiliar with, and as he continues to explore this time around, is disenchanted with. His old-fashioned ideals of freedom don’t quite mesh with the all-powerful SHIELD and its associates, who are prepping to launch one of the greatest surveillance systems in history. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) returns and continues to prod and push

Rogers into doing his bidding. A newcomer named Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) steps in to portray the more bureaucratic and cynical side of SHIELD. Then there is the Winter Soldier, an assassin of unknown origins and unknown motives, who intends to stop the Captain from discovering any of SHIELD’s greatest secrets.

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo take over this entry, and they do so with a tight eye for action and pacing. They had both previously made a name for themselves with their work on the NBC comedy “Community,” as well as a few romantic comedies throughout the last decade, but they direct this film like they’ve been at it with action films for years.

They handle the humor regarding Roger’s fishout-of-water situation, and the action set pieces are shot and edited with a speed, intensity, and clarity that is incredibly rare in blockbuster films these

a little too heavily on the audience’s previous knowledge of the Marvel franchise. Most references and story points will connect fine, but some characters and twists reach far back into the Marvel movie catalogue.

It’s nothing that completely ruins the experience, but the film does find

itself stopping at a few moments to quickly to shoehorn some very obscure aspects of the franchise as well as expecting the audience to have an emotional connection to many of these nearly-three-yearold references. But this is a small issue in a film that manages to move at a brisk pace without leaving

the audience behind.

“The Winter Soldier” is a thrilling action film and hopefully a sign of things to come for the Marvel franchise.

They have stumbled in past efforts, but it appears that they are really finding their footing with each new film. Here’s to many more thrilling missions with the Captain.

days. Hand-to-hand combat and gunplay take precedence over CGI effects in the film and it helps tremendously in keeping things tight and exciting. Rogers and Black Widow (Scarlett Johanson) storm a pirate-infested tanker in the film’s opening, Nick Fury defends himself against rogue agents in one of the better car chases in recent memory, and everything comes to a climactic frenzy in the film’s finale, as massive heli-carriers clash and super-powered humans fight for their own ideas of freedom.

These ideas of freedom are what ultimately keep the film from falling into more conventional routes as far as superhero films go. Sure, privacy and surveillance are all the talk nowadays and are not new topics for movies to explore, but “The Winter Soldier” surprises as a major summer film that takes a solid stance on the subject, while making it wholly relevant to the story. Rogers is the perfect superhero to place against the new age of U.S. intelligence, and Evans and company do a great job of never making him feel too forced or too much like a caricature. Captain America is a Boy Scout, but it’s through his antiquated morals that he becomes a believable hero. He finds himself bleeding and really taking heavy hits in fights.

It’s admirable how Steve Rogers really becomes a flesh-and-blood hero by the end of the film, more so than any previous Marvel hero has managed.

If there is anything negative to say, it’s that the film relies perhaps
