Thank you from JGV John Christian

SGA President Elect THANK YOU! These two words cannot fully express the gratitude that Gabbie, Vince, and I feel for you entrusting us to lead the Student Government Association (SGA) next year. Our gratitude will be demonstrated through the diligence and dedication to our work in the upcoming year.

This year, I have seen the SGA do a lot of great things and I know that we will continue that tradition. We added a Veteran Representative position to the SRB. We created the Academic Committee that is responsible for the Cookies and Coffee, Scholar of the Month, Veteran of the Month, and Students First programs. This committee is also responsible for developing new solutions to assist students in their learning endeavors.

With the help of university departments, we were able to place vending machines in the library. The Environmental Awareness Committee continued their “First Friday,” beach and road cleanups, and created

an area next to Doolittle where orange trees, lemon trees, strawberry bushes, and blueberry bushes were added for student enjoyment in future years. The Progress Committee continued programs like the blue bike and yellow umbrella initiatives while incorporating new ideas like the hammock park and fire pit.

The SafeRide Committee added static displays to raise awareness of the consequences of drunk driving as well as continued to maintain the program and shuttle service to MCO. These programs, these committees, and the work of the student representatives have been phenomenal. We will continue to look for ways to further improve the campus and the university experience for students at Embry-Riddle.

As SGA President, I will work on a system of communication and advertisement suitable for all students so that we are all able to know what is happening every week on campus. James Scott, our current SGA President, has done a great job of chairing the Student Union Planning Committee and compiling students’ suggestions and interests for our future student

center.

I will continue this process and make sure that the new student union is one that we can all be proud to call our own!

Finally, one of my greatest goals is to raise school spirit throughout the student body and increase student involvement in campus activities and programs. Both Gabbie and Vince are incredibly excited to transition into their new roles.

Gabbie, SGA Treasurer elect, is thrilled with the advances that the Finance Board has made this year. She is eager to continue this progress while adding programs and resources for organization treasurers so that they are able get the most out of the allocation process.

Vince, SGA Vice-President elect, will continue to effectively lead the SRB while improving efficiency. As the current suggestion box liaison, Vince has received many great ideas this year. He plans to reach out to students to make sure that the programs and initiatives that the SGA undertakes are those that the students want and are beneficial to the student body.

This is an exciting time, but it’s just the

starting line! We are finishing an incredible school year and gearing up for the new. We have lots of wonderful programs to continue and are determined to create more to meet student needs and improve the student experience.

To do this, we would love your help -- indeed, we need your help. I want to encourage anyone interested in becoming more involved to consider becoming a SGA member-at-large, and join a SGA committee.

If you are not able to become a member at large, you may always help us with projects or community service. Either way, immerse yourself in the full EmbryRiddle experience. With such an enthusiastic Embry-Riddle student body, I know we will be successful!

Gabbie, Vince, and I would like to say that our doors are always open to every student and encourage you to reach out to us with your questions, your concerns, your participation, and your ideas on how to make our campus experience even better. Every enrolled student is a member of the SGA. We are proud to serve you!

Campus Which browser do you use?

The Avion,

April 9, 2013

Barbara Chearney

Information Technology Microsoft recently released Internet Explorer 10. Some people who surf the web using IE were excited about the news, but it raises an important question to think about: which browser do you use?

You probably know that the most common browsers are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari. But did you know that certain versions of different browsers can give you a different online experience?

For example, if you are reading your Embry-Riddle email through Outlook Web Access (also known as OWA) in Internet Explorer, a preview of your newest message will appear in a reading pane on the screen; if you access OWA through Firefox, no preview of your message will appear. The main menu view along the left-hand column is also displayed a bit differently.

If you are staunchly loyal to a certain browser, it is important to know that there can be variances in performance based on which version you use. For example, if you access software tools through Citrix in ERNIE, IE 10 may create log-in or page-load errors. Using IE 8 or IE 9 could be the solution for you.

Or, you may want to use an entirely different browser; Firefox, in this case, is recommended.

Sites that are “recommended,” are just that: recommended for an optimal, A-grade user experience. If you find that a website is “supported” by certain browsers, this means that means that generally the site is tested and that most, if not all, of the site’s features will be available to the user.

Many websites are built using what are called “Web Standards.” This means that they are created using standard web features or programming. There are, however, incidents where not all content in every site is cross-browser or cross-

Page

platform compatible. Because of this, using different browsers for different sites can be commonplace. If you are trying to view an imbedded video from a website, for example, but you cannot get the video to play…perhaps you may want to try a different browser. Maybe you are trying to export a report from a web-based application, and the window will not launch the report. A quick fix may be to try to run the report in a different browser.

So the next time you are not getting the best view of your online content, you may want to ask yourself: which browser am I using? Or you may want to add a new browser for your viewing pleasure.

To access the EmbryRiddle Browser Compatibility Matrix, go to: ERNIE>Information Technology>Getting Help, then choose Supported Browsers from the right-side menu.

Interfaith Chapel seeking new name CORRECTION In last week’s issue, this article was incorrectly published and attributed.

The Avion regrets the error and asks that your read the corrected version below.

Rev. Melynne Rust & Fr. Tim Daly Campus & Catholic Chaplain

We are seeking a new name for the Interfaith Chapel. We are looking for a name that reflects how the facility currently functions as a place where students can find space, resources, and support to practice their religion, increase their faith, and/or nurture their spirit.

Although there are registered student organizations that are religious in nature using the facility, it is not used exclusively by these organizations; other student groups use the facility as well. Although there are spaces within the facility that are designated specifically for religious purposes, it is not a facility that is used exclusively for religious purposes. Nonreligious students use the facility to seek

ANDY LICHTENSTEIN/AVION

space, resources, and support to nurture their spirit, the part of the self that seeks meaning, purpose, and connection.

Although non-religious students are welcomed and encouraged to use the facility, it is still a facility where religious students are also welcomed and encouraged to use the space, resources, and support to practice their religion, increase their faith, and

nurture their spirit. In considering a facility name change, we are in no way trying to avoid or limit or minimize religion or faith opportunities for students. For students of faith, we very much encourage and support their faith formation as central to their spiritual development. The goal of the Chaplains Office is to encourage and support students in nurturing their spirit,

and for students of faith, we encourage and support them within the framework of their faith commitment.

Although we are seeking a new name, we are not seeking to change how the facility is currently being used. Our goal is to have the name reflect the current functions of the facility (for students to practice their religion, increase their faith and/or nurture their spirit) and reflect the diversity of students who currently use it (from all religious traditions as well as those who are not religious). It is a place where ALL members of the ERAU family can come to dream the dreams of a clear spirit that lift the heart and mind and envision a better world because of what they will do for it.

University members were recently surveyed about possible names. The three most popular names among the students (across the spectrum of religious and nonreligious beliefs) are “Center for Religious and Spiritual Life”, “Center for Faith and Spirituality,” and “Spiritual Life Center”.

Which name best reflects how the facility is used? Is there another name that might work better? We welcome your input!

Please email Chaplain Rust at rustm@ erau.edu with your suggestions.

Allie Burns

COE Representative Sophomore Aero. Engr.

Hey everyone, my name is Alexandra Burns, but everyone knows me by Allie.

I’m from the tiny little state of New Hampshire, but I have also lived in Missouri for a short time and three years in South Africa during high school. I came from a large family of eight, with four brothers and one sister.

I started at Embry-Riddle in Fall of 2011 and I am currently a Sophomore in Aerospace Engineering. I just started working with SGA this semester and am currently a student representative for the College of Engineering.

Within SGA I am the Chair of the Academic Committee working with other representatives to encourage academic success for students.

It is a new committee this semester and we are still working on starting new projects for Fall 2012.

The committee is also responsible

for the Scholar of the Month program, which recognizes students who excel not only academically, but are also heavily involved on campus.

Outside of SGA I am involved in TEDxEmbryRiddle, which is an independent, self-organized TED event on our campus.

TED is an organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.

TEDxEmbryRiddle is an event on campus where speakers come in from all over the country to give talks on a specific topic (depending on the theme for that year).

I am looking forward to working with SGA and the Embry-Riddle students this academic year in hopes of bettering our beautiful university.

If you ever have any questions about SGA, suggestions, or anything, I would love to hear them, feel free to send me an email at: burnsa1@ my.erau.edu

Solar power employed Welcome to the at local middle schools Mongolian Yurt Suzzane Fernandez Honors Program

Angela Durston-Ryan

Civil Engineering Senior Designer The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Civil Engineering senior design team, consisting of Angela Durston-Ryan and Jonathan Brasch, have been assigned the task of designing and constructing a waterfall pump alteration system that will run solely off solar power. The pump and solar panels, from local company Solar-Fit, have allowed a way to have the waterfall system run and aerate the pond at no cost to the school.

Federal Rent-A-Fence has very generously donated the chain link fence surrounding the solar panels. The waterfall has been designed to allow maximum oxygen into the water to slow eutrophication in the pond.

The project location will be at Hinson Middle School in Daytona Beach. Ms. Durston-Ryan and Mr. Brasch will be working closely with Mrs. Nita Manis and the GGIT (Girls Get It) Club to

design and build the waterfall. GGIT is for females who are interested in science and engineering. After the waterfall is installed, it will provide many years of hands-on learning for present and future GGIT members, with various science experiments preformed in and around the pond. These can include dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, amounts of various nutrients, pH, and many others.

This project involved various aspects of Civil Engineering that have been covered through classes at ERAU including Land Surveying, Environmental Engineering, Structural Analysis, Hydraulics, Materials, Construction Management, AutoCAD, Soils and Foundations.

This project evolved from the Civil Engineering department’s previous work with Hinson Middle School and Hinson’s inquiry into possible aeration systems for the western pond. The project is due to be completed by April 26 where there will be a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 3:50 p.m. where the system will be turned on.

A bright Monday morning, Embry-Riddle spotted a Mongolian yurt on the West Lawn.

Call it a pancake house for April Fools or a bubble on the world as some manufacturers do, but this yurt (or ‘ger’) dates back to ancient Mongolia. Students of Honors Seminar 250 learn about the rise and fall of Genghis Khan’s Mongolian dynasty as a part of the course text ‘Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World’ by Jack Weatherford.

Introduced to the concept of the yurt for the first time, Honors student’ decided to build their very own one for our campus.

Dr. Kain, the director of the Honors program mentions his interest in these words, “When the students in the Silk Road seminar first floated the idea of constructing one or more yurts, I didn’t immediately take it seriously.

It didn’t take long before we all got serious about it, though. In the spirit of Ignite, hands-on learning, finding a ‘real life’ connection between knowing and doing, I think this project is great, and it grows out of the students’ enthusiasm for what they have been learning.

Having Dr. Jack Weatherford here in February as Honors Distinguished speaker and as a guest in our classroom certainly lit the fire under the students. Dr. Weatherford is a globally recognized authority on Mongol history and culture, and he and the students really hit it off. Of course, we are sending him a group photo of everyone around the yurt.” Indeed, the class felt inspired by both Weatherford and his rendition of the

Mongolian people. Their way of life is different from modern day or even ancient America. A yurt being a shelter so inexpensive, stable and adaptable provides qualities needed for surviving the extreme climatic conditions of the Asian steppes. The yurt is a home to the Mongolians.

Built with locally available and environmental friendly products, a yurt is everything to these people. Genghis Khan resided in a yurt even though he was the ‘Great Emperor’. The Embry-Riddle yurt was built from PVC pipe and canvas drop cloth instead of wood and felt. It involved prep work on Friday night and building on Saturday.

Margaret Gallant who worked on the yurt, says, “What I really got out of this experience was the teamwork involved. During some parts of the construction, all hands were needed - everyone was holding something, adjusting something, securing something - and to think that four men could build in an hour what twelve of us could built in seven.

Also, it’s one thing to see a picture of a yurt in a book and read about its transportability and functionality. It’s another thing entirely to actually tie down the canvas, all the while thinking about how rain will run off the roof and wind will flow around the walls. If I were just reading a textbook about Mongolia, I probably would not have found myself wondering about the aerodynamics of a tent!” Dr. Weatherford conveyed his excitement in response to this project by saying, “The ger looks great. It just looks a little thin for negative 45-degree nights, but I think that it will do just fine in Florida. Great job.

They are all invited to my ger next time I am in Mongolia.”

New changes to commuter parking Mallory Rodriguez

Student Rep. Board Attention commuters!

Starting Tuesday, April 9, Halifax Paving will be closing a section of the Columbia Lot, also known as the “dirt lot” to begin construction. Approximately 60

spaces will be closed off during this time. Alternative parking will be available in a new parking lot located at the east end of the Columbia lot for commuter student parking and will offset the lost space during construction. When completion of the 60 spaces in Columbia is complete, Halifax will reopen them

for use and transition into closing off the next 60-space section. This process will be repeated until all of the work is complete. Signs will be posted at the entranceway of the lot to alert students and faculty that the area is “Yellow Decal Parking Only”. The roadway will still remain open for flow through traf-

fic around campus. Please note that University Planning & Construction and the contractor are working hard to expedite the completion of the new lot so that our commuter parking disruption is minimal. With construction, pedestrians and new traffic patterns, please use caution as you arrive to campus!

Caroline Day

Office of Undergraduate Research Last Wednesday, Discovery Day was held across the three Embry-Riddle campuses. Discovery Day, reborn out of the Ignite program, included a series of events designed to showcase some of the incredible research that the students of ERAU have completed during the last academic year.

Each campus, Daytona Beach, Prescott, and Worldwide, planned events to spotlight research on their campus and then came together for two presentations which were shared across campuses. The Daytona Beach effort was chaired by Catherine Webb, Associate Director of Undergraduate Reasearch.

On the Daytona Beach campus, over 20 groups and individuals were selected to present research posters. From topics which ranged from “Ionospheric Signatures”, presented by Emily Hyatt, to “Aquaponics”, presented by Charles Hsieh and “Mt. Everest Skydiving Research”, presented by Laura Coe, to “A Referendum on the Presidency”, presented by Benjamin Eve, the research presented at the poster session ran a broad spectrum of topics and disciplines.

An exemplary poster from each category, group and individual, was selected as winner of their division. “Urban Wind Turbine”, a research project being conducted within the Honors Student Association received the prize for best group poster.

Khadijah Shariff with her poster entitled “Composite Laminates: Investigating Strength Properties of Seams at Various Plies and Ply Orientation Configuration” earned the prize for best individual poster.

Fifteen projects were selected to present slides featuring their research. Topics for these presentations were as wide ranging as in the poster presentations, including Audra Widham’s “Gender Gap for the 2012 Election” and Brett Dean’s “The Effect of Global Dimming/Brightening Upon Global Warming”.

The last presentation of the day, Finn Carlsvi’s “Head’s Up Display for Wing Suit Helmet”, was broadcast live to the Prescott campus as an example of an exemplary piece of research on the Daytona Beach campus.

In turn, Prescott broadcast to the Daytona Beach campus a project entitled “Cooperative Control of Ground and Aerial Robots for Tactical Missions”, by Serafino Bohrer-Pavados, Michael Browne, ChunHan Lin, Inigo Ripodas, Michael Roznick, and Dr. Joe Woong Yeol. The Worldwide campus broadcast Mike Durant’s keynote address “Leadership and Teamwork.”

Following the presentation by the Prescott campus, Daytona Beach held an awards ceremony to celebrate the year’s achievements. To kick off the ceremony, Aaron Clevenger, Executive Director of Experiential Learning and Undergraduate Research, announced the 13 groups who would be moving forward in the process of obtaining Ignite Grants for the 2013-2014

The Eagles hung a crooked number early on in the series opener, but needed Eric Green's sixth save of the season to escape a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth to win 7-3.

Both Mike Hardison and Kevin Maloney kept the game scoreless in the first inning, but the Blue and Gold plated five runs in the top of the second against Hardison to stake Maloney to a comfortable lead.

Adam Cellini started things off with a one-out single before Liam Goodall and Mike Gragilla followed suit as Connor Williams, Cellini's courtesy runner, touched home for the first Eagle run of the day. Jordan Romero collected a base hit to score Goodall before Colt Hankamer did the same. Jordan Johnson kept the Eagle rally going with a single to left center to bring in two runs and when Jeff Lemon singled to right, Hankamer moved to third then scored when the Lion right fielder misplayed the ball.

With a 5-0 lead Maloney surrendered just one hit over the next three frames, and even when the Lions managed to put two hits together in the fifth, Maloney was able to strand both runners on the bases by getting a weak pop up that he fielded himself to end the frame.

FMU finally got on the board in the sixth with a pair of runs on three hits, but neither team was able to score again until the top of the eighth when Gragilla recorded an RBI double, scoring Kyle Chastain, and pushing the ERAU advantage to 6-2.

Maloney faced the minimum in the home-half of the eighth and the Eagles tacked on another insurance run in the ninth as Kevin Lindheim scored on a throwing error by the Lion shorstop when Chastain collected an infield single.

Ronnie Lozada got into some trouble in the last of the ninth, loading the bases after one run scored, forcing Green to enter and throw two pitches to Alejandro Diaz who flied out to right to end the game.

Maloney (7-1), earned his 26th career win, tossing eight innings, scattering seven hits and two runs while striking out eight.

Green earned the save in 0.1 innings of relief.

Gragilla and Johnson drove in two runs while Gragilla, Chastain and Lemon all recorded a pair of hits. Every Eagle that had an at-bat collected a base hit.

fanning Kyle Perez with runners on the corners.

Sergio Gonzalez settled down after his bumpy first, keeping the Eagles from extending their lead until the fifth when Lemon singled in Romero, pushing the lead to 3-0.

Embry-Riddle blew the game open with a four-run sixth, ending Gonzalez's day and bringing the score to 7-0.

Romero singled in a run before Lemon collected an RBI walk when Chris Berman issued the base on balls with the bases loaded. Lindheim got his second hit of the day and first of the game with a double down the left field line that scored two Eagles and gave them a seven-run cushion.

Nelson tossed his sixth shutout inning

before the Eagles scored twice more in the seventh, one on a Gragilla groundout and the other when Johnson singled up the middle.

Dylan Demarest entered for Nelson in the seventh, throwing 1.2 innings of work without giving up a hit.

Lemon got his second RBI walk of the contest in the ninth to account for the 10th ERAU run of the game, and Benjamin Antwan-Brown ended the game in the bottom of the frame with a strikeout of Andy Ruiz.

Nelson (6-1) threw 6.1 innings, striking out seven to earn the victory.

Lemon got four RBIs on two hits and two walks, while Lindheim brought in three runs and Romero finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs.

Embry-Riddle scored twice in the first before blowing the game open in the sixth to come away with a 10-1 win in the day's final contest. Stetson Nelson was impressive in 6.1 innings on the mound, allowing seven hits, no runs and two walks while striking out seven.

Lemon got the scoring started in the top of the first with a triple down the right field line, chasing home Hankamer after the Eagle second baseman singled and moved to second on Johnson's sacrifice bunt. Lemon scored a few pitches later when Lindheim grounded out to second.

Cellini threw out the first of two base runners in the first to end the frame, and Nelson stranded two in the second by

The Yurt Epidemic The following is a satirical article purely intended for entertainment and does not seek to offend anyone.

Staff Reporter Following in the footsteps of planking, horsemanning and the Harlem Shake before it, a new Internet phenomenon is sweeping across major cities and college campuses.

Yurting (known in Mongolia as Gerring) is the process of erecting a dome shaped portable dwelling, much like those used in the Central Asian Steppes by nomadic peoples since the 12th Century, and then taking a photo in front of it.

Yurts have been popping up across the United States, inciting some leading biologists to claim that the Ger (Yurteus Mongolianus) is form of life, which has begun to multiply. The initial Ger on the west lawn of Embry Riddle has which has been present for just over a week appears to have reproduced asexually, raising questions on their life cycles and mating habits.

Some have speculated that if the current rate is continued, the entire west lawn may be populated with yurts by the end of Summer A. As an unexpected consequence of Yurting, several have reported seeing roaming Ordu of Mongols who have taken up residence in some of the unoccupied Yurts.

They also seem to have taken interest with the Internet fad of horsemanning, but in a very different sense.

Concerns have been raised by several colleges that the drinking of Airag (fermented mare’s milk) on otherwise dry campuses goes against policy. There have also been numerous complaints as a result of the drastic increase in horse droppings on campus; one statistician has stated that there has been a 3000000% increase since last year. These concerns have been countered by claims that the administration has been insensitive to a part of Mongol culture.

The Avion,

Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi star as magician duo Burton Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton, who have been the hottest act in Vegas for 10 years. Doing the same performance for a decade has led to the magic losing its magic and the eventual falling out of the two magical friends. This happens alongside and largely because of the paradigm shift in magic brought about by eccentric street magician Steve Gray (played by Jim Carrey).

The film essentially follows Wonderstone’s fall from glory due to his hubris and his attempts to cope as a dried out and unoriginal magician, whose opulent lifestyle had left him with nothing to his name. His jaded view of magic leads to poor performances until he learns to recapture the magic.

Hotel magnate Doug Munny eventually cancels the gig he had at the Aztec Hotel, leaving Burt out of work and on the street.

Wonderstone learns the error of his ways and eventually makes a comeback.

While the overall plot of the film is definetly predictable and formulaic, it definitely does not lack for laughs.

Saturday Night Live veterans Carrey and Carell provide excellent delivery for the movie’s puns and one-liners while also doing an excellent satire of the Las Vegas performance scene.

The movie is very tongue in cheek in its portrayal of magic in Las Vegas as well as shock magicians like David Blaine and Chris Angel. Siegfried and Roy’s tiger act (and some of the dangers of such acts) are also briefly referenced, while David Copperfield actually makes a brief cameo appearance.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is not a great movie, but it is a funny movie, and is worth a watch if you want to watch a light hearted comedy to watch with some friends. Some of Steve Gray’s magic will probably make you cringe, but should not be too much of a problem if you are not too squimish.

If you add the digits in a word, the sum will be the number shown in the clue. Clues are shown on the left and right sides of “across” words, and on the top and bottom sides of “down” words.
