Sea & Sky Spectacular Rocks Jacksonville Beach Opinion: Steve Jobs Film Proves Beautiful, HighStrung and Fast-Paced Himani Parekh Copy Editor

Mark Fetters/The Avion Jacksonville’s Sea & Sky Spectacular rocked the sands of Jacksonville beach on Oct. 24 & 25. The day started with the American flag drop accompanied with the National Anthem. Aerobatic pilot Patty Wagstaff, followed with a teaser performance prior to her afternoon demo. Jack Knutson, John Klatt, Bill Stein, Scott Yoak, Rob Holland and Michael Goulian provided a healthy mix of civilian performers, complemented with F-15, F-16, and vintage military aircraft demonstrations. The Blue Angels closed out the weekend with another headlined performance.

“It’s not binary,” Steve Wozniak calls back to Steve Jobs just before the 1998 launch of the iMac. “You can be gifted and decent at the same time.” In two sentences, Wozniak defines the tension underlying and driving the movie Steve Jobs.

Written by Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote The Social Network) and directed by Danny Boyle, Steve Jobs is not an analysis of the good or bad of the man; it is neither an extolment of his genius nor a denunciation of his flaws. Steve Jobs is merely a depiction of a man whose actions, for better or worse, heavily influenced both the devices and the consumers of the personal electronics industry and established him as one of the most famous individuals of our generation.

In an interview with Time magazine’s Lev Grossman, Boyle describes the movie as “a portrait… [w]hatever a portraitist does, it’s that we’re after,

rather than a photograph.”

Certainly, the movie feels more like a play in three acts than a biopic, with each act consisting of the lead-up to a different product release: the 1984 Macintosh, the 1988 NeXT, and the 1998 iMac. The personal conflicts are intense; the attempts to reconcile technical ones nearly absurd. Jobs’s acerbic character injects a manic energy and urgency into everything and everyone around him.

Jacksonville Flag Drop

The elements and details in the movie reflect this tension and energy. The visuals are bright, clean; the soundtrack swings to the intense contrasts between jarring, tense calm and smooth, rapid motion.

Some elements are the same: the anticipation before each

product launch, Jobs’s growing notoriety, the people in Jobs’s life following fault lines of interaction.

Other elements, such as era details and Jobs’s handling of people and public, change each time, either subtly or significantly.

While the details of the movie are admirably arranged, Steve Jobs is also imperfect. In its incorporation of past and present, the movie often feels a bit rushed and leaves the viewer still piecing information together as Jobs power-walks into the next scene. The ending is neat, positive, suitable for a movie but difficult to swallow otherwise given the rather harsh nature of Jobs.

The movie is beautiful, high-strung, fast-paced.

One might, as I did, leave the theater still contemplating the main point of the movie; it’s not easily visible, but that in itself is befitting of the subject matter. Is Steve Jobs a breathtaking perfection? Certainly not. Is it worth the watch? Absolutely.

Aerospace Engineering senior Mark Payne poses with his 1964 Willy’s Jeep. Payne acquired the Jeep from his uncle, and it took him 6 weeks to restore it by himself. When asked if he’s scared about driving it on the open roads, he told me that he drives to Orlando on I-4 occassionally.

Mark H. Payne - Aerospace Engineering - Senior “This car has taught me more than I could have imagined. I started out with a car which had been stored in a barn for twenty years and with no prior experience in antique car restoration. The beauty of a car like this is that if something breaks, it is easy for me to fix it myself. Although some people tell me that for me to own such a car is not a good idea due to the time it takes to maintain it. I say one is never too young to own a classic.”

Alpha Phi Omega’s Teeter-Totter-a-thon

It has been over fifteen years since our fraternity first started this event on the West Lawn, and although the members and the charity may change from year to year, our message of community service remains the same.

We welcome you, of Embry-Riddle, to share our legacy and help make a positive impact in your community.

For those of you who have not participated

before, the annual TeeterTotter-a-thon is a multi-day event where a hand-crafted teeter-totter or “see-saw” is set up on the West Lawn.

The purpose of this event is to exchange donations for rides on the teeter-totter. In the past years, the event has progressed to a 56-hour event where the teeter-totter must always remain occupied.

If there are no guests that wish to ride, the Fraternity maintains the motion

throughout the night and into the next day to show our dedication to the charity. Tents are pitched on the lawn and shifts are taken as needed.

The teeter-totter event has benefited many organizations in the past including such organizations as the American Red Cross, buildOn, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Stable Haven Horse Rescue and Florida Hospital’s Pink Army. This year, the chari-

ty of choice is the Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County. We are accepting donations in the form of cash, check, Eagle Dollars, Debit/Credit cards and items! For a list of items you can donate, please see our flyers that are distributed around campus. Look for the blue and yellow.

We look forward to seeing everyone one of you out there soon!

Sincerely, the Brothers of Alpha Phi Omega.

Feature Rivsu Imports Celebrates Two-Year Anniversary

October

27 2015

TH

Shemar Alexander/The Avion

Shemar Alexander Advertising Manager Rivsu Imports celebrated its second year of operation on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Rivsu Imports is the number one classic Japanese car import dealer in the United States of America. They deal with the sale and import of classic Japanese vehicles and are located in Sanford, Florida. In honor of their two-year anniversary, Rivsu Imports hosted a car meet. The Rivsu lot was filled with cars from

various eras, from the 1969 Nissan Skyline to the 2015 Nissan GTR. There were also cars that were “works in progress,” that showed signs of promise once they are completed.

The Nissan Skyline R32 was the dominant type of vehicle at Rivsu’s car meet.

The sweet purr of the Skyline’s RB26DETT engine left smiles on everyone’s faces as the cars drove through and parked. Rivsu also opened its warehouse doors to showcase their current inventory of Nissan Skylines and other

imported vehicles. There was also a dyno run competition, where a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 placed high in the ranks and showed the crowd what it was made of.

One of the highlights of the car meet was taking a walk down the memory lane section of the event.

There were various Nissan Skyline models, a couple of Datsun’s, a sun yellow Mazda Rx-2 and a pearl white Mazda Cosmo. As the day slowly became the night, more tuned and imported vehicles arrived.

A Honda NSX made an appearance and stole the attention of the entire crowd. Nissan 240 SXs, Subaru Impreza WRX STIs, Chevy Cruzs, Nissan 350Zs and even a Mazda RX-7 FD showed up to the event to show their support for Rivsu Imports.

The evening was filled with spooling turbochargers and a fire dance show as Rivsu Imports revealed their newest imported vehicle. Rivsu imported the first Nissan Skyline R33 GTR-LM into the United States legally.

There is only one other

Nissan Skyline R33 GTRLM in the United States.

The crowd went wild and the idea of owning one popped into almost everyone’s head.

The event ended with the purr of finely tuned engines as all the cars drove off into the night.

Exploring the World with an Embry-Riddle International Captain

John Mazur Correspondent

As an International Airline Pilot, one can get pretty familiar with many world class cities.

Airline crews, in addition to exploring the historical sites and museums, usually find the restaurants and cafes that best represent the local flavor and atmosphere and attitude of the local residents.

Since we are on a per diem expense account, we usually find places that are priced where the locals go, not the usually more expensive tourist traps.

Every major city has a well-known special place where airline crews from around the world gather to socialize, compare work and travel conditions and share tales of worldwide exploration and experiences.

Recently, I returned from Rome, Italy,

where I met up with fellow crewmembers in that city's special crew hangout, a cafe by the name of La Botticella.

What is really unique about this establishment is its commonly known name among airline crews worldwide.

We know it as the "Steeler Bar!" Yes, right in the central historic area of ancient Rome is a cafe named after the U.S. football team from Pittsburgh, PA, a tavern that celebrates American style football.

Very unusual for any establishment in Europe, there is usually a live or recorded U.S. Pro NFL or Collegiate football game in view on display at all times. Occasionally, there is a European football game, soccer as we call it, being shown if it is of special interest like a championship playoff.

Originally established in

1904, this cafe definitely has an old world atmosphere and charm, except for the football. The Steeler Bar is decorated with professional jerseys and pennants of many U.S. college athletic teams.

Since it is frequented by many airline crews from the U.S. and worldwide, we had to ensure Embry-Riddle is well represented.

Giovanni assures that the Embry-Riddle's pennant will have a premier location for all crews and tourists alike to admire. Next time you're in Rome or if you know anyone who is going there, make sure they make a point of stopping in the Steeler Bar. The owner, Giovanni, is friendly and welcoming, and will make sure you are as comfortable as being at home. Oh yes, look for that Embry-Ridle pennant in ancient Rome!

Basic Home Cybersecurity Hiranya Mir Cybersecurity Club There are many small steps any home user can take to secure themselves and their computers against attackers. A little awareness and suspicion can go a long way when it comes to safety in the cyber world.

Not all websites are created equal is the first piece of wisdom of which every internet surfer should be aware. Any website you visit where you might end up submitting personal information like a store or social media site should show a small green padlock and the letters HTTPS at the beginning of the URL. HTTPS websites are the most secure and trustworthy, you would really need to be trying to get your identity stolen or get hacked on one of these safe sites.

Now, we all know how fun it is to explore every dark nook and cranny of the Internet and sometimes we can end up with unwelcome cookies, viruses and trojans stowed away on our

computers. Good antivirus software like AVG, Avast, or Norton is always useful to scan our computers and make sure there are not any malicious programs running in the background. A full scan once a week keeps the computer doctors away.

It might be painful but paying for a good antivirus is always a good idea because the full suite of protections offered by most antiviruses makes it almost impossible for viruses, trojans and other types of attackers to get into your computer.

There are also many steps any user can take to protect their home wireless network from the average hacker. The main two are never to broadcast your SSID on your home router and always use WPA2 encryption for your network password. Not all passwords are good passwords; a good one will have a mix of lowercase and capital letters, numbers, as well as special characters like periods or exclamation marks. The worst passwords are ones

that are easily guessed or have too much to do with your personal identity like 0000, 1234, your dog’s name, your birthday and other predictable choices.

You should also learn how to access your router’s system through your Internet browser so you can check periodically for people who might have gained access to your network who will show up as users you do not recognize.

Do not let those cyber attackers get you down, you too can surf the internet like you are dressed in a knight’s suit of armor as long as you know what you are doing. For more information on how you can defend your laptop, home network or other personal devices come and join the White Hat Eagles Cyber Security Club on campus.

The meetings are at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays at LB131.

No prior experience is needed to join and new members are welcome at all times. Feel free to follow us on Twitter @WHECS for more details.

He is currently the president of Pi Kappa Alpha and the Graduating Senior Class council. He loves everything about ERAU and will continue to do so long after graduation.

He hopes to fly in the corporate aviation industry, flying private jets for either business or individuals.

She is from Springfield, VA, Currently she is involved in Theta Phi Alpha, The Orientation Team, and Society of Women Engineers, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an RA and BAJA. Through High school she was an athlete in soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and field hockey.

After winning the first set, 25-19, the Embry-Riddle volleyball team dropped the next three to suffer a 3-1 defeat (19-25, 25-21, 25-14, 25-20) to visiting Saint Leo on Saturday afternoon.

With the result, ERAU falls to 12-9 on the year while the Lions move to 15-6.

Evelina Abdurakhmanova led the Blue and Gold with 15 kills and picked up eight digs while Amanda Saunders contributed eight kills and 12 digs. Caitlyn Ballard collected a team-high 22 digs and added seven assists while Tamires Ferreira racked up 30 assists, 21 digs and seven kills.

The first set was close until a 7-3 run turned a onepoint Embry-Riddle lead into a 17-12 advantage. The Lions scored the next three points to close to within a pair, but ERAU pulled away and took the first set, 25-19.

The Blue and Gold held the

Lions to a .065 attack percentage in the frame, but SLU would hit above .260 in each of the final three sets.

In set two, Saint Leo went on an 8-3 run to extend a one-point lead to a 17-11 margin and didn’t look back, winning the set, 25-21.

Set three saw the visitors jump out to an early 8-2 lead and continue to push to extend the advantage throughout the frame. A Hope Lemon kill built the lead up to double-digits at 19-9 and the Lions cruised to a 25-14 victory, taking a 2-1 lead in the match.

The Blue and Gold scored the first three points of set four, including consecutive service aces from Jordan Nakayama, and held the lead midway through the set at 13-12. The Lions went on a 6-1 run from that point to take an 18-14 lead, but a solo block followed by a kill, both from McKenna James, sparked a 4-0 spurt that tied the score at 18.

Caitlyn Ballard, Junior, bumps toward St. Leo in hopes of scoring a point.

Another James kill kept the Eagles close at 20-19, but SLU closed out the match on a 5-1 run to win the set, 25-20, clinching the match at three sets to one.

The Eagles are back on the road for two midweek matches next week, beginning with a trip to Melbourne on Tuesday to visit Florida Tech.

Alexa Downie. But Downie’s kick-save went right to the feet of Johanna Karlsson who buried her first goal of the year to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles had a few more dangerous chances, including a Katherine Ebbs free kick that went off the cross bar, and a Kristin Sverrisdottir shot that Downie stopped with a diving save. Olivia Lynch also came up with two big saves in the first half and the goalie performances resulted in a 1-0 halftime lead for the Blue and Gold.

Less than four minutes into the second half, Andrea Froshaug doubled the Eagle advantage. Janina Helwig dispossessed a Lynn midfielder and found Froshaug moving down the right side.

The senior outpaced her marker and raced into the box where she rifled a low shot across the goal and into the far side netting to make the score 2-0.

Midway through the second period, the Eagles turned back a strong rally by the Fighting Knights, then went on the offensive once again. The best chance at adding to the tally came in the 82nd min-

ute when Downie had to come up with big saves to keep back-to-back shots by Rachel Owens and Tiffany Larsen from finding the back of the net.

Downie finished with 10 saves for Lynn who moved to 3-11-2 with the loss. Lynch finished hauled in six saves for the Blue and Gold on the way to her ninth shutout of the season, which ranks second on ERAU’s single season shutout list.

“At the beginning of our Sunshine State Conference schedule, we set an ambitious goal of trying to finish near or at the top of this conference. We knew our games wouldn’t officially count towards conference standings, but our players and staff took this season very seriously. So, for us to finish the conference play 7-2-1 and have a mathematical chance of unofficially winning the regular season is a fantastic accomplishment by our team in this first year of Division II.” The Eagles will be back on the road on Wednesday when they return to South Florida to take on Barry for the second time this season. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

vs ERAU: 2 Allison Smalling ERAU Athletics The Embry-Riddle women's soccer team celebrated senior night with a 2-1 win against Palm Beach Atlantic (4-8-1), Wednesday at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. Wednesday's game marked the final home game for Katherine Ebbs, Olivia Lynch, Jennifer Grimes, Andrea Froshaug, Kristin Sverrisdottir, Janina Helwig and Khyla Brangman and all seven seniors played a role in helping the Blue and Gold improve to 9-3-1 on the year.

The Eagles had the better of the offense for the

PBA: 1 majority of the game, dominating the Sailfish 21-5 in shots and 11-2 in corner kicks. But while they created more chances, the Eagles were only able to score twice, with both goals coming in the first half.

"Senior Night is always tricky as there are waves of emotions, but I thought we started well," ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon said. "It's always a fantastic night when I can get all of our seniors in the game.

Their goal late was a bit unfortunate but it won't take away from this special night and our chance to honor these players. We will miss

each of them; we're so grateful for their investment in our program over the years."

After the Eagles won a corner kick in the 18th minute, the ball bounced around the box before falling to Guro Naess Berge. The freshman took a shot from point blank range but PBA goalie Isabella Granlund came up with a kick save to keep the ball out of the net.

Stina Naess Berge was able to finish what her twin started as she put back the rebound to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

At the 32:10 mark, Guro Naess Berge got into the scoring column herself.

Again, the goal was the result of a corner that Palm Beach Atlantic was unable to clear out of the box. Guro Naess Berge was able to corral the loose ball and tapped in her second goal of the season to put the Blue and Gold up 2-0 at the half.

In the second frame, neither side was able to establish

possession for an extended period of time. Although they took nine of their 11 corner kicks in the second, the Eagles couldn't come up with another score.

With under two minutes left to play, the Sailfish managed avoid the shutout as Nicole Shaffer deposited a long-range shot into the upper 90 for a 2-1 final.

"I can't say that was a pretty performance by our group, but I have to give credit to Chris [Gnehm] and his team for their efforts," Bohon concluded. "We didn't really settle into a rhythm for extended periods of time. It was good to see that despite our touch being a bit off, we still found a way to put the ball in the back of the net twice against a very hard-working team. How about our twins scoring both goals?"

The Eagles will be back on the road on Saturday when they travel to Boca Raton to take on Lynn at 7 p.m.

Women’s Cross Country Wraps Up 2015 Season Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics The Embry-Riddle women's cross country team saw personal records fall on a fast course at the Sand Shark Invitational on Saturday morning. The meet, hosted by the University of South Carolina Beaufort, featured 28 women's college teams as the Eagles raced to a second-place finish to conclude their 2015 season.

Embry-Riddle got a top 10 finish from freshman Sarah Edens and two more top 25 finishes from Alex Orr and Mikaela Hakamaa en route to 109 total points. Shawnee State (NAIA) won the meet with 67 points as the Blue and Gold totalled 94:59.90 with an average finish of 18:59.98.

Edens' time of

18:29.68 put her eighth overall, and vaulted her into the program record books with the 14th-fastest time in Embry-Riddle history. Edens also became the fifth-fastest runner for the Eagles all-time while Orr posted the 19th-fastest time in program history at 18:35.65 (good for 11th overall), bumping her up to become the seventh-fastest runner for ERAU. Hakamaa's time of 19:05.50 put her as the 12th-fastest runner in program history, finishing in 25th place.

Marine LeVine checked in at 19:11.16, moving her up the fastest runner charts and placing her 27th overall. Josie Gray rounded out the ERAU scoring with a 38th-place showing in 19:37.91, a personal record by more than22 seconds.

Maite Moscoso (42nd

- 19:44.68), Leanne Ellis (67th - 20:13.82), Alex Meneses (68th 20:13.97), Eliza Gazda (119th - 21:23.65), Tia Larsen-Calcano (149th 22:07.68), Brianna Paczynski (153rd 22:11.56), Audrey Parios (157th - 22:14.37) and Annette Morrison (237th - 25:57.12) also finished for the Eagles as Moscoso, Ellis, Gazda, Larsen-Calcano, Paczynski and Parios setting personal-best times.

The Sand Shark Invitational marked the final meet of 2015 for the Eagles as ERAU is in transition to NCAA II and are provisional members of the Sunshine State Conference.

Due to transitional rules, the Eagles are not eligible for postseason competition. The Blue and Gold will return to run in the fall of 2016.
