Daryl LaBello/ERAU Embry-Riddle students, faculty, and alumni gathered on the Connely Quad on Fri., October 9th to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the University’s move to Daytona Beach from Miami under the leadership of the legendary Jack Hunt. “Operation Bootstrap” in 1965 established Embry-Riddle on its current grounds, where it has grown and thrived since.

Embry-Riddle Daytona Turns 50 Micah Knight Managing Editor On Friday, Oct. 9th at 3:00 P.M., all University operations ground to a halt as students, faculty and alumni flooded into the Connely Quad. It was time to party.

Fifty years prior, a group of dedicated University staff and students packed everything belonging to Embry-Riddle into 31 trucks and traveled 24 hours from the University’s old grounds in Miami to its current location, an endeavor known as

“Operation Bootstrap.”

To celebrate the hard work and dedication of those people who moved the entire school decades ago, the University invited a number of food trucks and a band, as well as hosting a number of events such as the “Riddle Run Around,” pumpkin smash, a zipline, oozeball, a photobooth, and a plane pull.

At 4:00 P.M., everybody gathered for the largest University photo ever, seen above, before dispersing to various activities, games and crafts for the next few

hours. The band Blonde Ambition performed on the quad from 6:30 until 7:30, when an impressive firework show in the athletic area concluded the night with a bang.

The event was followed up on Saturday with an alumni fly-in at the Daytona Beach Internation airport and a meet by the Sport Compact Import Car Club.

The event was well-recieved by all who attended, and was a fitting salute to those who worked so hard all those years ago to bring the University to the loaction it is today.

Hiranya Mir Cybersecurity Club Phishing, as the term suggests, is a lot like fishing in the real world. In the cybernetic realm however phishing can be much more insidious than it sounds. Imagine fishing for other people instead of fish, this is what some hackers and cyber criminals do to get access to their targets’ personal information.

The way most phishers get you on the hook so to speak is with very convincing emails, which will usually impersonate some large, trusted institution or possibly one of your friends.

One famous phishing technique is to impersonate someone’s banking institution and then send them an email telling them that someone else has tried to

gain access to their account and withdraw money, so they suggest you follow a link in the email to update your personal information.

This link will transport you to a fake page where the phisher can collect your information once you type it in.

Once they have your information, you are on the proverbial hook; at that point, you have opened yourself to the possibility of being constantly spammed by mail, email and phone at best and at worst you may soon be a victim of identity theft.

Phishing has caused billions of dollars in damages worldwide. Consider that in December of 2014 alone, global business losses due to phishing accounted for about 450 million US dollars in damages, this does not even account for the

many small-scale losses suffered by individuals who may have became victims to identity theft.

How can people defend themselves? Well, it can be very easy to defend yourself from becoming a victim of phishing.

The simplest defense is always to be on the defensive even when you are looking through the seemingly safe and inviting place that is your personal email inbox. This is where most phishing attacks are lurking to pounce.

When you open an email, you should always look at the sender’s identity and check that it matches the sender’s identity exactly as from an earlier legitimate email.

When a phisher is trying to impersonate someone else unless they have hacked their email account,

their identity or name will be very close to the original but will have some small minute difference.

Additionally, always be suspicious of emails that ask you to follow a link and provide personal information, especially when you did not solicit the email yourself shortly before it was sent to you.

For example, when you forget your password and go through the process to regain access to your account, you will most likely receive an email where you must follow a link to the website that lets you put in some information to prove your identity and then reset your password.

While this is perfectly safe, if this same type of email comes to your inbox, but you did not request it, it might very well be a phishing hook on your screen.

marked impairment in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information.

Heavy alcohol use may cause chronic depression and suicide and is greatly associated with the abuse of other drugs. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death.

If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects described. The use of even small amounts of alcohol by pregnant women can damage their fetus.

Long-term heavy alcohol use can cause digestive

disorders, cirrhosis of the liver, circulatory system disorders and impairment of the central nervous system, all of which may lead to an early death.

Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence, particularly in persons with one or more parents or grandparents who were problem drinkers.

At least 15-20% of heavy users will eventually become problem drinkers or alcoholics if they continue drinking.

Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and

convulsions, which can be life-threatening.

All illicit drugs are health threatening. Examples include: cannabis impairment of short-term memory and comprehension and ability to perform tasks requiring concentration, lung damage, paranoia and possible psychosis; narcotics, depressants, stimulants and hallucinogens - nervous system disorders with possible death the result of an overdose. Illicit inhalants can cause liver damage.

Dependence and addiction are a constant threat to users. AIDS is widely spread among intravenous drug users.

Wellness Center: Alcohol Consumption

Pamela Petrone Wellness Coordinator Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident.

Moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including; murder, rape, armed robbery, vandalism, spousal and child abuse and drunk driving.

SGA Constitutional Committee Meeting

Stewart Shaughnessy Student Representative

What are you doing at 6:15pm on Wednesdays?

If you are busy, then clear your schedule and come join the Student Government Association (SGA) at our Constitution Meetings! The Constitution Committee is a group of students who review governing documents of the Student Government and adjust it as needed.

If you enjoy leadership or responsibility roles then this is the opportunity for you. Come make a difference that can help make our Student Government even better. This is also a great opportunity to stay updated with what is going on in the Student Government. We want to hear your input and suggestions!

Furthermore,

the Constitution Committee is made up of members from the Student Representative Board, Student Finance Board, Student Court, Touch N’ Go, WIKD, and the Avion. Joining the commit-

tee is a great resource for anyone interested in becoming a member of these outstanding organizations. Additionally, the leader in the committee is the Parliamentarian. As Parliamentari-

an, my role extends from communicating to these members of the committee all the way to meeting with Student Court and figuring out what documents need to be reviewed.

At times, the position can be a lot of work but with thorough communication and constant assistance from Student Court, my job gets a lot easier. Speaking of the Student Court, if you ever get a parking ticket, need to adjust a bylaw for your organization, or want someone to be your voice under the honor code, then they will be here for you. Stop by their office on your way to grab a coffee! Thanks for taking the time to read over this article and again if you are interested, the Constitution Committee meets in the SGA office at 6:15pm on Wednesdays. Have a great Semester Eagles!

Get to Know your SGA John Herman SGA Director of Operations Sophomore/Interdisciplinary Studies

Hey everyone! My name is John F. Herman, and I am the Director of Operations for the SGA this 2015-2016 school year. Coming to Embry-Riddle, I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do while I was attending here as a student. I know that after I graduated from the Interdisciplinary Studies degree program with minors in Space Studies, Aerospace Life Sciences and Human Factors, that I want to go work at NASA as a Flight Surgeon, in the hope to become an Astronaut someday. However, I wasn’t sure what organizations to get involved with on campus.

After convocation my freshman year, I met somebody who would change my life forever. He became my mentor, a big brother, and my best friend. He happened to be the SGA President at the time as well, which had its own perks every now and then. Nevertheless, he pointed me in a couple of directions at organizations to get involved with, which I ended up doing. I became involved with Greek Life, the SGA, and a couple of other organizations that he didn’t point out.

Now, in my sophomore year of college, I have become a brother of the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity, the Director of Operations for the SGA, have been selected to be the Crew Biologist for Expedition 160 going to the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah from December 2015 to January 2016, and I am also working at the hospital in the Trauma Center doing research for the Human Factors Medical Department at ERAU. These are only some of my accomplishments at my short time here at Embry-Riddle.

Having reflected on what I have accomplished in such a short amount of time, I am excited to see what the future holds. I believe that if one puts their mind to accomplishing something, it can happen, no matter how difficult the thing. Affer all, there are men who have walked on the surface of the moon.

Blue Skies and Water Ice Found on Pluto Keenan Thungtrakul Correspondent

and fall to the surface is what explains Pluto’s reddish-brown hue.

Another big finding that the New Horizons team made was noticing small, exposed regions of water ice on Pluto. Usually, the water ice would be masked by other, more volatile ices across most of the planet. One science team member, Jason Cook, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, stated that understanding why the water is found where it is and not in other regions of the planet is a mystery

that is being explored.

Also, color images of the same regions show bright red spots in the areas where the water ice was detected, indicating some relationship between the water and the reddish tholin colorant on the surface. That relationship is not yet understood, and scientists on the team are equally surprised that such a relationship exists on such a faraway planet.

New Horizons is currently 3.1 billion miles from Earth and moving into the Kuiper Belt. All

When the New Horizons team acquired the latest color images of the planet’s atmosphere from the spacecraft, they were surprised to see that the haze surrounding Pluto is actually blue, which really attracted the team’s attention. The blue tint gives clues as to the size and composition of the particles making up the haze.

The particles themselves are believed to be formed high in the atmosphere where ultraviolet radi-

ation splits and ionizes molecules of nitrogen and methane, allowing reactions to take place. These reactions form complex macromolecules, which continue to combine and grow before being covered with condensation from volatile gases and falling to the surface.

These soot-like particles are called tholins, first found to form in the upper atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan. Tholins themselves are either gray or red in color, but scatter blue wavelengths of light.

LEGO Worlds: A Master Builder’s Dream Come True Grady Delp Correspondent I grew up with LEGO. My first set was given to me on vacation when I was 5: an Alpha Team set with a tread vehicle and submarine. From there, I was hooked. I liked building cars and castles, boats and battlefields. Some of my favorite sets were from the Technic line, and I directly owe my enrollment at Embry-Riddle to the NXT Robotics sets I started working with in middle school.

I also played video games a lot. I will not go into details, but it is needless to say that I played the LEGO videogames.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and even the LEGO Island games from over a decade ago. Something was always off-putting, though, especially in the newer games.

The characters and vehicles were made out of LEGO, but the scenery and backgrounds were not.

It seems that I was not the only one that had a problem with this. TT Games, the developer who

has made almost every other LEGO video game, decided to do something about it. So came LEGO Worlds. Still in Early Access, LEGO Worlds was released with little forewarning on June 1, 2015.

As of right now, it can best be described as Minecraft made out of LEGO bricks, but with a little less to do.

The focus right now is on exploration. Each world is randomly generated, and you can wander around freely, searching for new vehicles to drive and new animals to ride.

You can find other characters and dress yourself up with their clothes,v change your minifigure’s hair, facial expression, legs and torso, the same way you would customize a minifigure in real life. There are enemies and combat, but it is rudimentary at best, and the majority of the wildlife is not out to get you. Already capable is the building system, where you have a library of bricks available in a rainbow of colors to individually place to your heart’s content. On top of that,

you can find models and props to place around and decorate the world.

The best thing I can say about LEGO Worlds is that it has a heart. Every bit of this game exudes passion for LEGO. The ground, the trees, even the coral on the sea floor that was added in the September update, are all modeled out of individual LEGO blocks.

My favorite thing to point out is that, in the Cherry Blossom biome, 1x1 stud pieces litter the grass, giving the feel of a Japanese forest with flower petals on

the ground. Little things like that are what make me love LEGO Worlds.

Each update adds new biomes to explore, new creatures and vehicles to ride or drive and new weapons you can use to fight back the hordes. As someone who has played with LEGO my entire life, I am looking forward to seeing how this game progresses. I was happily surprised when it was released without announcement, and I cannot wait to see what new things TT Games brings to the table.

Pete’s Pizza: Close to Jersey But Not Quite Nicholas Powell Correspondent Growing up in New Jersey, I have been blessed with some of the best pizza parlors in the world. I thought finding a similar style and quality pizza would be difficult, but I was wrong.

A few friends and I took a trip to Pete’s Pizza this past Friday night. It is a tiny mom and pop restaurant located in the Daytona Promenade Shopping Center. It is an old fashion New York/New Jersey pizza parlor. Behind the counter were three men who were distinctly Italian and from New York; I could tell by their accents pronouncing their words as “cawfee” and “New Yowk.”

It was like back home.

The parlor had great customer service being friendly and conversing on the “where abouts,”

and I learned that these employees grew up not too far from me. Nevertheless, aside from their accents and conversation, the pizza was fresh and ready in about fifteen minutes, which was fast and convenient. The pizza was also phenomenal! It blows any local parlor or restaurant out of the water.

It is the closest taste you can get to New York/New Jersey pizza.

The thinner style crust and homemade authentic Italian sauce that mom makes really hit the spot. The pizza is absolutely delicioushot, room temperature, or cold the next morning for breakfast. However, the major flaw is its crust. Yes, it is nice and crispy, but it has no flavor compared to the rest of the pizza. What is a good pie without a good crust? For many people the crust

is their favorite part. I always save it for last, but I was very disappointed. The crust was just bland and floury.

I would recommend some herbs anvd spices and maybe a little more salt in the dough to give it that flavor to stand out from any other crust around the area.

Along with the pizza, I saw zeppoles, which really brought me back home. Not many people know what these Italian delicacies are. A zeppole is an Italian pastry exclusive to pizza parlors. This pastry is very simple consisting of fried dough and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Once I saw the pizza tray pyramided with these treats, I had to try some. They were so tasty, I did not even have to put any sugar on it. The dough was the perfect combination of crispy on the outside, doughy

on the inside, and just the right amount of oil left behind.

I have never felt so close to Jersey as I was in this restaurant. Overall, I would recommend Pete’s Pizza to anyone looking for a real pizza pie. It would put any chain or local

competitor out of business if the locals got a taste of this pizza. Do not be scared of try-

ing something new because I guarantee it will be better than what you are eating now.

ERAU’s Women’s Cross Country Reclaims Team Title at Asics Classic

Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics

After a two year drought, the team title of the Asics Embry-Riddle Classic returned to the Eagles as ERAU won its home meet for the first time since 2012.

More than 800 athletes descending on the campus of Embry-Riddle as six total races were run on Saturday morning, including high school boys and girls, as well as JV races for both boys and girls.

ERAU had the top two finishers and got three more in the top-13 to down second-place Stetson, the two-time defending team champions at the meet. The Eagles totalled 31 points and 1:38:38.32 with an average finish of 19:43.67.

Alex Orr claimed her first Asics Classic individual title by finishing in 19:09.00, followed 10 seconds later by teammate Sarah Edens (19:19.00).

The pair was joined in the top-10 by Marina LeVine (6th - 19:54.60) and Josie Gray (20:01.09). Rounding out ERAU’s scorers was Mikaela Hakamaa in 13th (20:14.39).

A trio of Eagles went 17th, 18th, 19th: Leanne Ellis (21:02.07), Maite Moscoso (21:02.81) and Alex Meneses (21:07.89),

while Tia Larsen-Calcano (22:38.98) and Eliza Gazda (23:04.72) finished 24th and 27th, respectively.

Audrey Parios (30th - 23:55.72) and Brianna Paczynski (31st 24:12.04) also competed for the Eagles.

Kira Ball was the top Eagle alumni finisher in 25th place with a time of 22:41.90, while Kara Funke broke the meet record for the high school girls in 19:06.53.

“Our women ran a very gutsy race,” Head Coach Mike Rosolino said. “We knew we were gonna have a tight race with Stetson and it ended up not being quite as tight as we thought. We had some great finishes, including Marina LeVine.

Great showing by both Alex Orr and Sarah Edens to lead the race from the get-go. Everyone chipped it today. This was probably the hardest course we’ve run all season. I’m excited for them to get the team title back where it belongs” “We have one meet to go,” Rosolino added.

“We’re looking forward to running at USCB’s meet, it’s definitely the fastest course we’ll run this year and we’ll get a chance to let people go after something super-fast and hope for some great results.”

Shemar Alexander/The Avion Newspaper Josie Gray, Freshman, pushes to the finish to help Embry-Riddle reclaim the title against Stetson. Grey was one of the top 10 finishers.

Embry-Riddle wraps up the 2015 season on Oct. 24 when the Eagles travel north to Hardeeville, S.C.

to take part in the Sand Shark Invitational, hosted by the University of South Carolina Beaufort.

ERAU’s Soccer Team Plays Florida Tech to Scoreless Draw

Alison Smalling ERAU Athletics

Sunday

October

The Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team traveled to Melbourne to play Florida Tech on Saturday, and after a one-hour weather delay and 110 minutes of action, neither team was able to record a goal, resulting in a scoreless tie. The Eagles are now 6-3-1 on the year, while the Panthers stand at 7-3-1.

Both ERAU and FIT were closely matched on the field and on the score sheet. The Panthers had a 13-12 edge in shots and a 6-5 edge in corner kicks, but both teams finished the night with five saves and five shots on frame apiece.

Embry-Riddle had the first chance to get on the board early in the contest off the boot of Andrea Froshaug, but her shot was collected by

FIT goalkeeper Julia Kantor.

The Panthers were able to take some shots on frame from long range, but ERAU goalie Olivia Lynch easily stopped those attempts.

With 1:13 left in the first frame, the Panthers won a corner kick, which was well defended by the Eagles. The Blue and Gold immediately turned offense into defense as a long ball played out to Froshaug on the run resulted in the Eagles’ most dangerous chance of the half.

Froshaug raced past the last defender toward goal, catching FIT netminder Julia Kantor back-pedaling. Froshaug got a low shot off, but Kantor managed a last-minute, fingertip save and that play ended the half with a scoreless draw between both teams.

The second half featured more opportunities to score

from both sides, including a pair of strikes by Froshaug and a few shots on frame by the Panthers, which were corralled by Lynch. But neither side was able to find the back of the net, resulting in bonus play.

In the first overtime period, Froshaug found Isabelle Haaranen racing down the right side of the pitch.

Haaranen carried the ball into the box before hitting a low strike on target, but Kantor was able to get a foot on the ball and push it away from the goal.

Playing on tired legs and on a slippery, muddy surface, both sides continued to work hard in the final 10 minutes of overtime, but neither team was able to break the deadlock and the game ended 0-0.

“Dustin is doing a great job with his team, and tonight

was a really fun match-up between two teams trying to play good soccer,” ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon said. “I thought we started a bit slow in the first half, but did a better job after the first 15-20 minutes. We knew this game wouldn’t offer many chances for either side, and we just couldn’t capitalize on the good looks we were able to create. I have to give credit to their keeper for making a spectacular kick save in the first overtime period. I thought it was going in. Overall, we worked hard and will look to build on this game for our match-up on Wednesday against Florida Southern.”

The Eagles will be back at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium on Wednesday to host Florida Southern. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

Hertin Gives ERAU Men’s Soccer 1-0 Win Over Florida Tech vs ERAU: 1

FIT: 0

Janelle Johnson ERAU Athletics

The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team snapped its losing streak on Wednesday night with a 1-0 win over Florida Tech. This marks the first win for the Eagles against a Sunshine State Conference opponent in their first season of provisional league membership. Pierre Hertin scored the game winner for the Blue and Gold in the 67th minute of action.

"We're obviously very happy," said Assistant Coach John Haworth. "It's the first win in the Sunshine State for the men's soccer program. The boys are ecstatic and also very tired. They worked exceptionally hard for each

other out there, covering each other and pushing each other along. They deserve all the credit in the world. It hasn't been easy but they snapped a five-game losing steak.

We kept a clean sheet in the process and beat a very good FIT team."

The first half began with several fastpaced runs from Felix Lohmeyer, including a close call on a through ball from Daniel Gylfason. However, Lohmeyer collided with Panther goalkeeper Christopher Page and the ball was cleared by the defense.

Moriba Ballah also came close to giving the Eagles a goal in the 31st minute.

The ball was sent in off a corner kick and found Ballah in the box. He vol-

leyed it toward the net, but the Panthers were able to clear it off the line.

Just before halftime, it was Ballah again with a chance. He had a clear shot at goal after receiving a pass from Gylfason, but collided with a defender and was awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area. Hertin took the kick but it sailed just over the crossbar.

With the game tied at 0-0, the start of the second half was much more energized and fastpaced, as both teams were hungry for a goal.

After much back and forth action, Hertin finally broke the game open, netting his first career goal for the Eagles in the 67th minute. Gylfason battled to win a ball at midfield and passed it off to Ali Amiri.

Using his speed, Amiri managed to get up field and then sent the ball through the defense, splitting two defenders to find the feet of Hertin. He then side-stepped the goalkeeper and easily slotted the ball into the back of

The Eagles now stand at 10-5

ERAU: 2 on the year while Barry moves to 6-5.

Ana Pajic led all players with 19 kills while Evelina Abdurakhmanovatallied 17 kills and six digs.

Sumerr Paxton collected a match-high 28 digs and Tamires Ferreira totaled 44 assists and 12 digs.

After taking an early 3-1 lead, the Eagles fell

behind by a score of 7-4 in set one. Just a few points later the Blue and Gold went on a 5-0 run to retake the lead, 10-8. Though the Buccaneers fought back to tie the score at 11, 12 and 15, ERAU never let Barry back out in front for the rest of the frame. A termination from Pajic with the score tied at 15 sparked a 6-0 spurt that pushed the Eagles to a 21-15 lead. A few minutes later, Pajic put down another kill to close out the set at 25-18.

Barry got off to the better start in set two, allowing ERAU just a brief 3-2 lead before moving back in front, 11-7. A Paxton

service ace closed the margin to a single point (15-14), but the Eagles couldn't quite pull even and the Bucs eventually won the set by a 25-22 score to tie the match at a set apiece.

An early 5-0 run for the Blue and Gold that gave the Eagles a 9-6 lead set the tone for set four. ERAU would go on another 5-0 run midway through the frame to build the lead up to 16-9 and the Eagles cruised to a 25-16 set win.

BU scored nine of the first 11 points in set four and never looked back, maintaining a comfortable

lead throughout the stanza en route to a 25-16 victory that pushed the match to a decisive fifth set.

The Bucs opened up set five on a 4-0 run, including a pair of service aces from Jenny Trinidad. Embry-Riddle responded with six consecutive points to take the lead, forcing a Buccaneer timeout.

Out of the timeout, Barry scored the next two points to tie the set, and from that point it was a tightly-contested affair.

Amanda Saunders delivered a service ace to give ERAU a 12-10 lead, but that would prove to be the last point of the match

for Embry-Riddle. Barry scored the final five points to win the set, 15-12, and the match, 3-2.

The Eagles will travel to Carrollton, Georgia next weekend to take part in the Gulf South Conference/Sunshine State Conference Crossover Tournament, which will be hosted
