Daytona campus expansion continues Costas Sivyllis News Editor

As Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University continues to grow exponentially each year, the first buildings of the current expansion projects are coming to completion.

The James Hagedorn Aviation Complex, made up of the new Embry-Riddle fleet hangar, new Flight Dispatch building, and new Aviation Maintenance Science building, is scheduled for completion in July, followed by a dedication as school starts for the Fall 2011 semester. Also, currently under construction is the new women’s fast pitch stadium, being built to NCAA specifications, and later new locker rooms by the sports fields.

The next building ready for groundbreaking is the Jim Henderson Administration and Welcome Center that will be located on Spruance Lawn.

Named after the current chairman of Embry-Riddle’s Board of Directors, The Jim Henderson Welcome Center will include the President’s Office, administration offices, a reception and exhibition room and other multipurpose rooms for the university.

This breathtaking building will be one of the first sights visitors see as they enter the university through the main entrance. The old building located on Spruance Lawn was destroyed in the infamous Christmas Day tornado in 2006. Ground breaking for the new Welcome Center is scheduled for March or April 2011 pending final approval of the building permit. The Welcome Center is scheduled to be ready approximately one year after ground-breaking, sometime in spring of 2012.

Embry-Riddle President Dr. John Johnson is very pleased with the expansion happening on campus. A headline force in improving the school for students, staff, and faculty, Dr. Johnson has the best for Embry-Riddle’s future in mind.

“We have the best students, staff, and faculty in the world, and we want them to have the best facilities in the world,” explained Dr. Johnson.

Following the current pattern, as each new facility enters service for students, a new project will be started. With the competition of the Welcome Center, the new College of Arts and Sciences building will begin construction.

Much needed by the College of

Arts and Sciences Department, the new building will enable all COAS courses to be in one building. They are currently scattered across campus in various buildings. The new COAS will replace what’s now known as “Alphabet Soup” or Lindbergh Center Academic Complex on the south side of campus abutting runway 25R/7L. The new building will provide over 118,000 square feet of space. During the construction, temporary modular units will be on site to provide ample classroom space during the transition. If the project is started sometime in Fall 2012, then estimated completion will be sometime in 2013 or 2014.

One of the more highly-anticipated new building is scheduled to start after the COAS is complete and due to be complete sometime in 2015 is the new Student Union.

“The new Student Union building is designed to finally eliminate the ‘Riddle runaround,’ as now all student services, such as admissions, financial aid, the bursars office and academic advisement, will be located in one building,” said Dr. Johnson.

Also within the building, Dr. Johnson was careful listening to students’ needs, as there are

Peter Tan

Staff Reporter On a chilly Friday night, Orange Avenue, Hot Riot! and Sloane Peterson entertained the Embry-Riddle student body on the West Lawn, during the annual Eagles FM/Touch-NGo Productions JAMuary.

Every year, Eagles FM finds bands that are relatively unknown and brings them in as part of their continued efforts to introduce new music to the school community. This year, the lineup of bands played rock music that showcased both ends of the spectrum from indie rock to punk rock.

First organized in 2008, Eagles FM came up with the event to let everyone in Daytona Beach know they exist and also to provide a platform where up-and-com-

ing bands could promote their music to Daytona.

JAMuary, along with Rocktober Fest are two events that Eagles FM hopes will become staples in the event calendar and future plans include having artists come out to display their works and also for other clubs on campus to set up and promote their causes.

Local born band Orange Avenue, consisting of Derek Anderson (vocals), Glenn Sedita (Keyboards/Piano/ Percussion), Chris Yetter (Guitar), Sean Sedita (Drums) and Jamie Pohl (Bass), opened the night with original hits like “Just Refrain,” “This Time Baby” and “No Goodbyes.”

Hot Riot!, all the way from Los Angeles, California was up next and band members of Kelly Riot (Vocals/Guitar), Gabe Motta (Lead Guitar), Fry Ferrini (Drums) brought tre-

mendous energy to the stage, with Kelly’s powerful vocals and Gabe’s acrobatic antics, Hot Riot! fired up the crowd.

Playing songs like “Bang Bang Kiss Me,” “Dance All Night” and “Party In My Car,” Hot Riot! had people dancing in front of the stage while forming a mini mosh-pit.

Sloane Peterson with band members Brian (Guitar), Chad (Bass), Chris (Drums), Peter (Guitar) and Steve (Vocals), closed out the night playing songs like “Can’t Shake You,” “Recover” and “Games with Each Other.”

Throughout the night, DJs from Eagles FM kept the crowd well-fed with a constant supply of burgers, hotdogs and drinks. Benches and heaters also kept everyone comfortable as they enjoyed an entertaining night of music to kick-start the weekend.

ic events and other presentation areas. It will be used as an ambassador building, one that the outside see when they first come to Embry-Riddle.

Of all the current and planned construction, Dr. Johnson is proud that Embry-Riddle is not deficit spending or debt building.

“All the construction is being completed with cash payments and donations,” noted Dr. Johnson. He continued to say, “by following the schedule of completing one project at a time, each building will have no loan or mortgage payment. We are proud to not go into further debt even through expansion.”

Over the next five years, Embry-Riddle will take on a new face with the new facilities and see an increase in research and development funding. A long term project to build a special research and development park off Clyde Morris Boulevard is also in the works, something Dr. Johnson is working closely with the industry to make it happen and give even more opportunities to students to succeed. Not only at the university level, but continue making a large impact in the industry that Embry-Riddle students are highly regarded for.

The Greek Fraternities and Sororities are going through their semi-annual Recruitment process this week. Each organization will be holding events around campus to share information about their Chapters.

For more information speak to any Greek Member or visit Ryan Powell, Student Activities Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life.

This Saturday, Embry-Riddle will host the 2011 Student Leadership Conference. Students from around Central Florida will be attending the event for the opportunity to hear inspiring speakers, participate in dynamic leadership workshops and learn strategies for their future endeavors. If you would like to join in the festivities, registration is online at www.erauinvolvemnet. com and a fee of $10 is required for Embry-Riddle students.

plans for a bowling alley, game room and Student Government Association office. While the building will be an expense, Dr. Johnson said the students should be proud to know that currently $8 million has already come from the student-related funding and by construction, approximately $10 million will have been raised and funded by students, making the Student Union truly the “student’s building.”

By 2015 as the new EmbryRiddle reaches it’s planned new-face, yet another building will begin construction. Named the Academic Research and Conference Center, this picturesque and trademark building will be located on the corner of International Speedway Boulevard and Clyde Morris Boulevard. Designed to be a flagship building to the public, Dr. Johnson says that Embry-Riddle Alums will be able to recognize immediately that the phenomenal building belongs to EmbryRiddle, and the general public will be no doubt impressed by the building and drawn towards Embry-Riddle. The Academic Research and Conference Center is set to have a 500-seat theater for presentations, boardrooms, space to host special academ-

safety concern Priyanka Kumar Copy Editor

On Jan. 22, at approximately 11 p.m., an Embry-Riddle aircraft that contained an instructor and student encountered interference when unauthorized lasers were pointed at the belly of the plane.

According to the ERAU Safety Department Incident Report, the Instructor called tower to alert them of the occurrence and was then notified by the Air Traffic Controller that the tower had been advised that someone from Doolittle Hall had been shining a green laser at the aircraft “for about five seconds.”

When the tower was alerted, the reports read that there was no reason as to why the lasers were being pointed. Also, “there was no other incidents reported and there was no community unrest.”

According to Mitchell Widham, Operations Supervisor, Campus Safety Department, the concern surfaces around pilots’ and students’ safety when on board an aircraft. “The laser can do damage to the eyes, pilots may not be able to then see out of the aircraft,” he said. Widham described the disturbance to be quite dangerous if pointed at a pilot’s eye for he might not be able to see outside the aircraft to spot other planes or obstructions. Lasers may also damage one’s eyes and cause injuries on campus.

Widham continued on the safety hazard. “The primary concern is that we’re an aviation university, we want our people informed; we, of all people should not be shooting lasers on campus, we’re very concerned about injuries,” Widham stated.

On Jan. 24, a Safety Officer observed the Voyager parking lot and found what appeared to be the green laser being pointed toward the sky. The Officer then found a student in the Challenger lot who he further questioned as the student admitted to shining the lasers at the sky, but not to aircrafts.

The Green Laser Pointer valued at $69.95 is described as “much brighter to look at than a regular red laser pointer and always with a visible green beam” in its product description at instapark. com. The range of its beam is approximately 10-12 miles.

Widham said that such lasers are often used by controllers or architects for work purposes.

According to Widham, the consequences of being a suspect of pointing lasers to aircrafts are “quite serious.”

Although ERAU does not currently have any policy that prohibits lasers, the school is in the process of developing some.

ERAU did, however, have to report the incident to Daytona Beach Police and the FAA for further investigation.

According to Widham, Florida law reads that a person who “knowingly and willfully shines, points, or focuses the beam of a laser lighting device on an individual operating a motor vehicle, vessel, or aircraft commits a felony of the third degree.”

Widham concluded, “We don’t want people getting in trouble, my advice is to not use lasers on campus.”

So far this is an open investigation between the Daytona Beach Police and the FAA. In recent years, ERAU has had minor incidents regarding lasers on campus, however, according to Widham, they have never been an issue.

Widham and the Safety Department in ERAU found an article dated Jan. 5, from the Naples Daily News, that reported about helicopter pilots that suffered ruptured blood vessels due to two teens pointing lasers at the sheriff’s office helicopter.

Widham would also like to inform the campus that this is a weapons-free University and that bb guns and any such guns or pistols are not allowed. An Eagle Advisory was issued and fliers were distributed around campus alerting students of the 1/22 incident from Campus Safety and Security Department.

The Avion, February 1, 2011

Peter Tan

Staff Reporter On Friday, Jan. 28, President Dr. John Johnson, received the Tommy Durrance Community Service award from the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) on behalf of both staff and students for their immense and continued contributions to the center.

Established in 1980, Independent Child Abuse Relief Enterprises (I-CARE) was a private, non-profit counseling center for abused children and families. Over the years, I-CARE grew and started opening other branches in Florida before finally merging with Child Protection Team and Perinatal Support Services to become what is now the CAC. The primary mission of the CAC is to provide counseling services to abused children and help them overcome their traumas while at the same time assisting law enforcement agencies in obtaining information by means that do not place stress on the already traumatized children.

Instead of having children endure repeated stressful interviews with

lawyers, police officers and detectives, the CAC has the children tell experienced interviewers from the center their experiences, in a safe, homely environment, before passing on the video of the interview to law enforcement agencies.

Students and staff from Embry-Riddle, lead by the team of Shajni Walker, Adly Espinoza, Lanell Craig, Kim Smith and Jake Payuer (who has graduated), organized and finished a project that involved both building a house for the CAC as well as painting a mural.

On the actual day of the work, over 150 students from over 50 different clubs and societies lent a hand to accomplish the work. It was the culmination of over six months worth of planning, where the design of the building and murals had to be planned and finalized.

At the award ceremony, Dr. Johnson told the team, “You guys did fantastic and you represent the school very well.” Dr. Johnson also finds it highly admirable that the students “take time from their busy schedules to volunteer in the community.”

ON BEHALF OF THE University, Dr. John Johnson, the University President, accepts an award from the Children’s Advocacy Center in Daytona Beach. University staff and students have provided hours of community service to help create a location for children to go to be in a safe and in homelike environment while talking to them about dangerous situations that they were placed in. 150 students in total worked with the project which represented over 50 different organizations through out the University.

Maryann Barry, an executive member of the Florida Network of Children’s Advocacy Centers, is in charge of the Daytona Beach center and was highly impressed with the students from Embry-Riddle.

Students participate in Activities Fair on Legacy Walkway Julliet Okeke

Staff Reporter On Tuesday, Jan. 25, the campus held its student activities fair. Club booths were filled with new and returning students signing up for various clubs of their interest.

The fair was hitch-free as the weather greatly favored the fair though it was a bit windy.

The fair started at 8 a.m. in the morning and ended at around 2 p.m. of the same day.

The director of student activities, Aaron Clevenger, said that

“The fair was well attended by students and about 100 clubs were in attendance during the fair.” He also said that “Other vendors like Regence bank, Gold Gym and eateries that accepted Eagle Cards were in attendance at the fair.”

The various club presidents and members were happy to meet new members and its returning members. Pamphlets, souvenirs and even free smoothies and candies were handed out by some organizations on campus.

and students of the school and it speaks highly of the caliber of the students you have here.”

According to Barry, the mural, which is the brainchild of Jake Payuer, has had a huge impact on all the children at the center. For

one it lightens the mood of the place, with bright colors and animals, of which the monkeys are a big hit. The mural also has handprints of the children on the wall which helps to remind them that they are not alone in this and has also made the

children more invested in coming to therapy.

Both Barry and Dr. Johnson express deep gratitude and admiration for the students here at Embry-Riddle as to how they continuously find time and energy to return to the community.

Also, new clubs can be created just in case none of the clubs meet anyone’s interests.

Clevenger stated that, “new ideas and feedback on how to improve the fair would be highly welcomed from everyone and that the planning for the next fair which comes up in September commences July.”

Sophomore Air Traffic Control My name is Adriana Albanes and I am one of the college of aviation student representatives. I am originally from Brisbane, Australia but currently my family lives in Atlanta, Georgia. My major is Air Traffic Management and this is my second year here at Embry-Riddle.

I love being involved around campus and making a difference. I am a proud Resident Advisor in Doolittle hall and I love my residents! I am a Sigma Sigma Sigma and on the executive board as Panhellenic Delegate.

I also work at the FAA testing center here on campus. My favorite thing in the world to do is dance and I am a zumba certified instructor.

This is my first year on the representative board and I am excited to be working on improving the campus. I am open to student suggestions and love hearing what others have to say. I am part of the Student Government Progress Committee that meets every Monday at 6 p.m. in the Endeavor Conference Room, which anyone can attend.

Within this committee we address concerns and work on projects around campus.

Currently, I am working with others in the committee to continue midnight café and

come up with more outdoor seating and rest areas.

Midnight café is a special event hosted in the past at propellers. It is an on-campus late night café with menu options featuring burgers, chicken tenders, onion rings, shakes and much more, all with a meal plan option. This years first midnight café will be hosted on Thursday November 4th during homecoming week and I am excited to help out with this event.

Along with being on the progress committee, I am currently the career services liaison and am working with the career services office to help the job search for students become successful. Career services offers many opportunities to improving your resume as well as interview skills.

You can get help and tips by stopping by the Career services events throughout the year. Also don’t forget to attend the career expo on Oct. 20 to meet and network with companies!

I am always open to new ideas so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. I am excited to be a part of the Student Representative board this year and help the students on campus in any way that I can.

No airline fatalities in three of last four years According to a data analysis from the National Transportation Safety Board, there have been no U.S. airline fatalities in 2010.

This is the third time this has happened in the past four years which continues a trend towards better safety. 2010 was also the first year where there have been no airline fatalities on any airlines in developed nations. Last year, U.S. airlines flew more than 10 million flights and carried more than 700 million passengers, but only 14 people suffered serious injuries, according to the NTSB. There were also no major accidents. The average number of deaths dropped from about 86 a year in the 1990s to about 46 a year in the 2000’s.

The last fatal accident in the U.S. happened in 2009 when Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed in a suburb near Buffalo, NY and killed 49 people on the aircraft and one man on the ground. That accident broke a 2-year period of no deaths since 2006, when Comair Flight 191 tried to take off on a runway that was too short in Lexington, KY and crashed killing all 49 on board.

Many safety improvements on identified risks have steadily eliminated entire categories of crashes. However, regardless of the lack of fatalities, in some cases there has been a fine line between fatal accidents and accidents with no injuries. In 2010, a PSA Airlines jet narrowly avoided damage after overrunning a runway in Charleston, WV, but was stopped by an engineered materials arrestor system made out of hard foam. Such systems are designed to stop an overrun aircraft with no human injury and minimal damage.

Eagles notch win No. 20 with win over Warriors EMBRY-RIDDLE WEBBER INT’L

81 51

Alison Smalling

ERAU Athletics The sixth-ranked EmbryRiddle men’s basketball team notched the N.o. 20 win of its 2010-11 campaign with an 81-51 defeat of Webber International in Sun Conference play on Wednesday. The Eagles, who moved up four spots in the latest NAIA national poll, shot 49 percent from the field to improve their overall record to 20-2 and their conference mark to 8-1.

The first four minutes of the game did not produce the offensive output the fans were hoping for as both teams struggled to get their respective offenses going. Embry-Riddle made the only two field goals in the first 14 shots of the contest and led 4-1 at the 16:06 mark.

After a Gabriel Rutledge layup made it a one-point game (4-3), the Eagles went on a 7-2 run to go up 12-5 with 14:29 left in the half, but the Warriors, spurred by back-to-back threepointers from Marvin Williams and Mike Bonilla, battled back to tie the score at 12-12.

As a team, ERAU came into the game shooting 65 percent from the free throw line, but the Blue and Gold was 6-of-6 from the charity stripe in the first half and a pair of free throws by David Butler triggered a 10-0 run that put ERAU up 22-12. But once again, the Warriors answered and cut the lead to four (2521) with 6:44 left in the half.

Bonilla’s second three of the half prompted ERAU head coach Steve Ridder to call a 30-second timeout and the break in play served its purpose as the Eagles outscored the Warriors 13-5 over the last 5:47 to lead 36-29 at the half.

Coming out of the intermission, Webber International could not find an answer for the potent Eagle offense that made 52 percent (17-of-33) of their shots in the second half. After leading by 13 at the half, it took ERAU only four minutes extend the advantage to 21 points (49-28) and the home team built the cushion to 32 before claiming their fourth 30-point win of the season.

Butler came off the bench to lead all scorers with 23 points, while Ray Graham recorded his fifth double-double of the year with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Glenn Dalcourt was the only other Eagle to score in double figures, finishing with 17 points, four assists, four steals and four rebounds.

The Eagles also turned in a strong performance on the defensive end of the floor,

Upcoming Sporting Events

holding the Warriors to just 33 percent shooting on the night.

As a team, the Eagles, who average 6.1 blocks per contest, registered eight blocked shots on the night, including three in the first three minutes of play.

Coming into the game, Webber International seniors Williams and Junior Geidi were averaging 19.4 points and 13.2 points, respectively, but the ERAU offense effectively shut down the Warriors’ top-scoring duo holding Williams to just 12 points and Geidi to a single point on a free throw.

In addition, to forcing the visitors to take tough shots, the Eagles did a good job corralling the missed opportunities as they bested Webber International 31-19 on the defensive boards. ERAU’s 17-12 margin in offensive rebounding resulted in 26 second-chance points for the Blue and Gold and the Eagles converted 23 Warrior turnovers into 22 points.

Williams was the Warriors’ leading scorer and Bonilla added 11 points for Webber International who drops to 9-9 overall and 4-5 in league play.

The Eagles have little time to rest as they return to action at 7 p.m. on Friday when they host Johnson & Wales in another Sun Conference fixture at the ICI Center. Friday’s contest will also recognize the three inductees – Jared Mathis, Kyle Mas and Paul Buckley – into EmbryRiddle Athletics’ 2010-11 Hall of class prior to tip-off.

matched its 50 percent (15-of30) shooting from the first half and improved to 60 percent (6-of-10) from beyond the arc with four of the six long-range shots coming from Glenn Dalcourt.

Dalcourt finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals, while

Ray Graham completed the list of Eagle players with doubledigit scoring with 13 points.

Craig Wong was the leading scorer for the Wildcats, converting on 6-of-17 attempts, including four three-pointers, to finish with 17 points. Alex Blue tallied 12 points and Myles Smith finished with 11

as Johnson & Wales falls to 5-16 on the year and 1-9 in conference play.

The next game at the ICI Center will be at 7 p.m. on Monday and will be a battle between two Top 10 NAIA Division II teams as the sixth-ranked Eagles host No. 2 Northwood.

ERAU Athletics Senior David Butler registered his ninth double-double of the season to lead the sixth-ranked Embry-Riddle men’s basketball team to an 82-54 victory over Johnson & Wales in Sun Conference play, Friday at the ICI Center. Butler totaled 22 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and three steals in 27 minutes of play as the Eagles improved their overall record to 21-2 and their league mark to 9-1.

As was the case when the Eagles faced the Wildcats earlier this season (Jan. 8), the game was a low-scoring affair to start as both teams combined for just 19 points with under 10 minutes to play in the first half. The Eagles accounted for the majority of the scoring in the half as they held a 21-3 lead at the 8:18 mark.

In the first 20 minutes of play, Johnson & Wales took 32 shots to the Eagles’ 30, but a swarming ERAU defense , that recorded four blocks and outdid the Wildcats 22-13 on the defensive boards, wreaked havoc on the Wildcats’ shot selection and limited the visitors to just five made baskets and 17 points in the first half.

Meanwhile, Butler, who was responsible for all four blocks, paced the ERAU offense with 14 points as the Eagles shot 50 percent from the field to take a 34-17 halftime lead.

Johnson & Wales significantly improved its shooting in the second stanza, connecting on 15 of 37 (45 percent) shots for 37 second-half points. The effort was not enough to catch the Eagles, however, as ERAU

Athletics looks to set new record R Rodriguez

Guest Reporter Hundreds of students will flock to the ICI Center Feb. 2 wearing ghillie suits, different flight suits, and painted faces for one of the most exciting events of the year, Camo Night.

Camo Night is the event where students wear their camouflage to pay tribute to the United States Armed Forces, have the different branches of the ROTC battle for the Commander’s Cup, and to come support the Embry Riddle Basketball team.

Since the first Camo Night in 2003, the Eagle’s basketball team has gone gone nine and

one with the camouflaged fans in attendance. It seems that the masses that Camo Night brings to the games must have something to do with the team’s success.

Cadet Second Lieutenant Abby Hall is no stranger when it comes to Camo Night. Hall, a junior, is not only a part of the Air Force ROTC but she is a key player for the Eagles Volleyball team.

She has been on and off the court during Camo Night and knows how different one of these games can be.

“The team feeds of the energy they provide,” said Hall when asked how a regular game differs from a special

event night. “We try to give it back.”

Along with helping the chances of the basketball team winning, 2009’s Camo Night was a record setting event that amassed 1,956 attendants.

With ERAU having a large percentage of its students enrolled in the ROTC program, it wasn’t hard to believe that there were 1,231 students present.

The energy at one of these special event nights is electrifying because the attendance shoots through the roof and adds the feel of a NCAA game.

With the Commander’s Cup up for grabs, tension of friendly competition is evident with the shouting crowds during half-

time pull-up contest. However, the different branches come together as a whole and become the Eagles’ sixth man on the court.

Hall said that the rivalry between branches isn’t present when the basketball team is playing because they are all striving for an Eagle win. She also said that after the game there is friendly competition to win the cup or in Air Forces case keep the cup with them.

There is no reason why the student body can’t make Embry Riddle history and crush the previous record set in 2009.

Come support your Eagles and honor the men and women who fight for our freedom overseas.

Rolex 24 at Daytona Aaron Craig

Managing Editor

In the running of the 49th Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway 50 cars were registered to compete and 48 started. The racing started mid-afternoon on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and ended Sunday with most of the teams crossing the finish line.

The Daytona Prototype winners in running order were the 01 BMW Riley, 02 BMW Riley and 9 Porsche Riley. The 01 and 02 cars both sponsored by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Stables kept the first place trophy in the hands of Chip Ganassi Racing. With the efforts of Scott Dixon in the 02 BMW Riley the 9 Porsche Riley was kept from advancing on teammate Scott Pruett and remained in third through to the finish.

For the Grand Touring class the 67 Porsche GT3,

AFTER TRANSMISSION ISSUES BENNET Racing fell behind the pack and like other teams were just interested in finishing in one piece.

48 Porsche GT3, and 40 Mazda RX-8 took the podium placing first, second and third respectively. The Racing Group 67 Porsche clamed victory coming from last place at the start of the race. The Paul Miller Racing Porsche took second place followed by the Dempsy Racing Mazda in third.

Although this years race did not bear witness to any major accidents the early morning fog on Sunday did bring caution to the field for nearly three hours. Teams were prone to keeping the incidents down, but at a cost of running off the course and suffering damage with repairs that put many far behind the lead lap.

Embry-Riddle students can now sleep easy without the sounds of exhaust notes filling the air until Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway starting on February 12 with the Budweiser Shootout.

The King’s Speech

Ainsley Robson Staff Reporter

There once was a prince that was not supposed to be king, who has a speech impediment. This prince though was

The Avion, February 1, 2011

to become King George VI of England.

This winter break, the movie “The King’s Speech” was released just after Christmas.

Stareing Colin Firth as Birtie who becomes the future King George VI of England upon the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII, Guy Pearce, for the American Socialite Wallace Simpson.

Joining Firth in the movie is Helena Bonham Carter, Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother), and Geoffrey Rush, who plays Lionel Logue a speech therapist who ends up helping the King make the most important speech of his life in 1939 to the British Empire.

But the movie is more about the relationship that is developed between Birtie, the Prince, and Lionel Logue who with his unconventional ways helps him with his speech impediment, but also with so many personal decisions. In some ways the way that Logue

points out the obvious to a man who is extremely private provides many enjoyable moments throughout the movie. All of this only comes about because of the support and continued encouragement from Elizabeth, Birtie’s wife.

For the movie Firth plays the part with great skill, one that he has already received a Golden Globe for and has been nominated for an Academy Award. Both Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush have received nominations for Academy Awards. In total the movie has won a Golden Globe and has 14 Academy Award nominations, including best picture.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, I do offer this piece of information for those that what to watch this.

This movie contains elements of comedy but it is also about real life individuals and the speech that entered Britain into World War II.

WELL RECEIVED BY CRITICS and audiences alike “The King’s Speech” is the story of an individual overcoming a personal obstacles, who just so happens to the head of the British monarchy in the ever darkening days leading up to hostilities of the Second World War.

‘No Strings Attached’ does not leave audiences hanging

No Strings Attached

Ainsley Robson Staff Reporter

There is not very often that there is a romantic comedy that

both guys and girls can agree as funny, but the movie “No Strings Attached” covers this dilemma.

This movie tries to answer whether friends can remain “just friends” when there are “no strings attached.”

The movie, that opened on Jan 21, stars Ashton Kutcher,[Adam] and Natalie Portman [Emma] who decide to be “friends with benefits.”

Throughout the so called relationship of the two friends, they both work hard on just remaining friends who just have sex, but with every awkward situation the couple finds them self in they only seem to be getting closer and closer.

Emma has issues with attaching herself to guys because of fear of being hurt. It is not until she actually gets hurt that she realizes how wrong she is when it comes to having that attachment that a boyfriend provides.

Adam throughout the movie

finds that he wants more than being “sex buddies,” but in order not to lose Emma he has to work on denying the feelings.

All of this only adds up to

provide this movie a funny setting for the strangest things to happen.

The movie provides numerous moments of laughter. It is

a great movie for friends to see while also being a great date night movie as well.

Yes, I said that the men in the audience will not mind this

movie. My reasoning is that the movie has sex, denial, and laughter. If you are looking for a romantic comedy, this movie serves the purpose.

Sheer sonic power

All of A Sudden I Miss Everyone Explosions in the Sky

Peter Tan

Staff Reporter American post-rock band Explosions in the Sky has been active for the last 12 years but as with many other postrock bands, the lyric-less music makes it difficult for people to identify their music and seek it out.

One of their higher profile accomplishments was writing the soundtrack for the 2004 film “Friday Night Lights.”

Their fifth studio album, “All of A Sudden I Miss Everyone” was released in 2007 as a 6-track, 42-minute album, with a second bonus CD of remixes.

With no lyrics to distract the listener, Explosions in the Sky along with other bands like

The Album Leaf and Sigur Rós blend complex melodies and use their music to guide your emotions from somber lows to trance-like highs.

Although having no lyrics or vibrant dynamism in music style, Explosions in the Sky still has a way of leaving you wanting more and they do this through pure sonic power, with three electric guitars the norm, playing intricate intertwining harmonies.

The opening track, “The Birth And Death of the Day” starts with spine-chilling tremolo picking as it builds up anticipation before fading, commencing a strong bass drum beat.

From strong, hard hitting riffs, it fades out into a soft lullaby before bouncing back hard with fast snare drums and tremolo picking again.

Lasting seven minutes, the song makes you feel as if it slowly brings you from one end of the earth to another with continual tempo changes and switching song keys.

The album is meant to be played as a whole from start to finish so for all you random/ shuffle people out there, please take note because it’s very jarring if songs from this album play without their proper flow.

As each song fades and builds up into the next song and unless you insert pauses in between tracks, it is pretty much impossible to tell where one song ends and the next starts.

The fourth track “What Do You Go Home To?” paints the image of tense journey of someone trying to find his way. This song would not be out of place in a movie scene, where your protagonist has inner demons to settle before he continues his quest.

Explosions in the Sky has masterful use of gaps and lulls, as it pauses playing momentarily to let the last notes linger in your ears before adding more, occasionally causing auditory overload as you struggle to figure what is in your head and what is actually playing.

Creeping guitar crescendos and military drill standard snare snaps are also a hallmark throughout this entire album.

New to this album and their playing style is the inclusion of the piano. Floating piano saunters orbit around guitar plucks, complementing and merging with one another, but at the same time still remaining distinct enough to focus on alone.

The foursome of Mark Smith, Chris Hrasky, Munaf Rayani and Michael James will be releasing a new album later in April this year titled “Take Care, Take Care, Take Care.”

I highly recommend this album to people who have never tried instrumental music or lack this genre in their collection. It will take some getting used to in the beginning but with each listen, some faint melody in the back will come to your attention.
