Fitness Center Water Classes For those not familiar with us yet, the Lunabotic team was born in January of 2010, from a student who wanted more hands-on experience on her resume before graduating. Yes, that is all it took for Embry-Riddle to help this stu- dent put a team together that designed and manufactured a robot, before heading to a competition five months later. The first Lunabotic Mining Competition was held in May of 2010, at the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame, in Titusville, Florida. Due to the overwhelming interest this year, the competition had to upgrade to a larger facility, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex itself from May 23 to May 28. Last year’s competition, open only to American teams, attracted a total of 29 teams of which only 22 competed as the others had to drop out because of various technical difficul- ties, or for one team, even a loss of a robot through the mail service. This year, NASA pushed further by opening the competition to international teams. This led to a total of 12 teams from Bangladesh, Canada, Columbia, and India participating. “NASA’s Lunabotics Mining Competition is designed to promote the development of interest in space activities and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.” All fields are truly rep- resented in the competition: mechanical, electrical, soft- ware, electronics, and other engineering disciplines. Imagine a 5 by 7 meters sand box, one meter deep. Yes, this whole competition is in metrics. Now, imagine the sand replaced by what the teams are calling “moon dirt”, or “regolith”. Regolith has the consistency of flour, but is grey/brown colored. It has the annoying property of sticking to any robotic gears, motors, and cables and jamming them. Regolith creates a cloud of heavy brown dust when moved repeatedly by scoops and rakes. It can only be dug about 3 inches deep before becoming somewhat as hard as cement. Thus, to dig more than 3 inches deep at a time is a waste of time. The competition requires a remotely controlled excavator or ‘lunabot’ to remove the most moon dirt in 15 minutes, while avoiding craters and rocks on the way from the starting zone to the digging zone. Other rules, such as the dimensions of the robot, its maximum weight, and the types of communications allowed, are critical to qualifying. Compared to the 22 teams that competed last year, 70 registered this year, 46 sub- mitted the necessary Systems Engineering paper to validate registration, and 32 teams actu- ally made it to competition. Both Embry-Riddle Daytona and Prescott were present, as both teams participated in weekly video conferences in the Fall 2010 semester to brain- storm ideas and learn from each other’s skills. The Daytona team, Team Moon Pi, improved tremendously from last year. The robot drove from the starting point to the digging zone very rapidly, proceeded to dig and collect regolith, and headed to the dumping zone. An unfortunate encounter with a big rock on the way back disconnected the power wire, thus preventing it from dump- ing the regolith collected. After fixing the wires, the robot repeated the process and managed to dump over 30kg during the demo run on Saturday evening. Prescott went to dig and dump 85kg of moon dirt during their 15 minute competition. For those that compared last year’s competition to this year, it is clear all teams improved. 13 robots dug over 30kg of regolith vs. none last year. Team spirit, also judged and part of the final prizes, was amazing: cheers, dances, cup- cakes and moon pie cakes were seen throughout the week. Most teams from last year recognized each other and it is obvious many lasting friend- ships have been created, some now overseas. This competition is all about intra and inter-teamwork as teams share motors, bolts, ideas on how to fix problems, and even wireless routers that are required to make the robot communicate with the con- trol center, which is secluded from the lunarena. (The Arena where the lunabots are operat- ing is only visible to the con- trollers by on-board cameras and an overall camera.) While Laurentian University, from Canada won first place in the Mining portion of the competition (237kg collected), both Embry-Riddle campuses went home winners. Embry-Riddle Daytona won first place for Exemplary Performance in the Slide Presentation category ($500 prize), and an honorary mention in the Team Spirit category, while Embry-Riddle Prescott won the Innovation Design award. The overall ranking for all teams has yet to be announced by NASA at this time. Many more pictures and videos can be found on the Facebook pages: ERAU Lunabotics - Daytona Beach, and ESMD Lunar Regolith Excavator Competition. The team members were excited, had lots of fun, and now cannot wait to com- pete next year. The team has learned so much from build- ing their own design, testing, breaking, and learning from other designs for next year. It is certainly a one of a kind opportunity for all of them as sponsors such as Caterpillar and NASA were obviously looking for future engineers to offer internships to. The team is highly diversi- fied and the competition offers everyone something to do, from fostering team spirit, conduct- ing team outreach activities, designing shirts, and of course the highly technical design and manufacturing processes.

The Female Initiatives: Reach-ing Success Together (F.I.R.S.T.) Engineering Mentor Program is designed to help female students achieve success at Embry-Riddle. The program offers a wide range of events to allow students to interact with like-minded peers and role models.

Mentors and mentees are en-couraged to meet on their own at least twice a month to discuss academic, professional and per-sonal issues, to social-ize and to celebrate successes. Many men-tors work in the Diversity and Women’s Center, holding office hours for ment-ees. At least one mentor tutors nightly.

During the 2010-2011 aca-demic year, the F.I.R.S.T. Men-tors gave peer presentations on surviving college pressures, get-ting scholarships, select-ing classes, interviewing and intern-ships.

The students met at the Diver-sity and Women’s Center bi-weekly and of course, there was always food!

Participants also learned about real world engineering experiences and enjoyed time with their friends by going on a behind-the-scenes engineering tour of Universal and a trip to the Kennedy Space Center.

All F.I.R.S.T. Mentor mem-bers are eligible for one of six $1,200 scholarships. Each year, three first year students and three continuing students receive scholarships.To qualify,

students attend F.I.R.S.T. meet-ings, tutor-ing sessions, meet with mentors, other designated presentations and maintain a 3.0 GPA. A scholarship is also given for most improved.

This year’s recipients are Jodi Clark, Rose Njogu, Khadijah Shariff, Bharvi Chhaya, Adrianna Osegueda, Gloria King and Jessica Stein-mann.

Committees, individuals and organizations enjoy our open relaxed environment. Guests bring lunch, study or socialize. The Diversity and Women’s Center hosts numerous recep-tions including the For Women Only Orientation, Fall Open House, Women’s Ice Cream Social, Halloween Brunch and Costume Contest, and End-of-the Semes-ter Energy Boosters.

The F.I.R.S.T. Mentor Pro-gram will be expanded during the 2011-2012 school year to include all female students at ERAU.

With the expanded program, scholarships can additionally be provided to pilots, human factors, communication and other majors. Additionally mentors will be given to each student. Interested mentors, contact Cindy Oakley-Paulik or come to C-Building room 404.

The Diversity and Women’s Center is additionally open Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. for any students who would like to hang out or study. The center also provides computers, books, DVDs, and T.V. for a small paradise away from home.

The Office of Diversity Initiatives coordinated sixteen speakers and workshops this year through the Diversity and Lecture Series and Tuesday’s Treasure, a lunch and learn program.

We additionally awarded mini grants for diversity—related events to clubs, col-leges and organi-zations that submitted proposals in September. The 2010-2011 grant recipients include A.S.A., A.S.U., C.S.S.A., C.S.U., G.P.A., I.S.A., L.T.A., M.S.A., N.A.A.C.P, N.S.B.E.E., N.S.C.S., P.R.I.D.E., S.W.E., T.K.D., W.A.I., the C.O.E., the C.O.B., the C.O.A. and H.R.

We are currently working with P.R.I.D.E., First Year Programs and Dr. Libbie Searcy to expand the “Think Before

You Speak” Program that was launched this spring

The Diversity Lecture Series addresses topics each year to raise awareness about issues various identity groups face. The previous year’s line up addressed issues such as returning veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, rac-ism in the U.S., taking a critical look at gay stereotyping in the media, navigating the politics for female leaders, and respect-ing religious diversity through the Interfaith Youth Corp.

Tuesday’s Treasure addti-tionally has speakers that peak students interest. At these events, students are served free pizza and drinks for an hour as they learn topics ranging from scholarship writing to the latest sci-fi series.

The following topics were included in last year’s Tuesday’s Treasure:

Writing a Winning

Scholarship Proposal; Friendship, Love, and Lust; How NOT to Become a Victim to Identity Theft; The Power of Words: Think before You Speak; Minimize Stress and Maximize ENERGY with Aromatherapy; and Women’s Role in Islam.

Speakers are being lined up for student enjoyment for the upcoming year. If you have any ideas for speakers or would like to personally speak, please submit your proposal or ideas for a Tuesday’s Treasure pre-sentation to Cindy Oakley-Paulik at [email protected].

LEWISTON, Idaho - The Lee (Tenn.) Flames ended the No. 1 Embry-Riddle Eagles’ sea-son for the second consecutive year at the Avista-NAIA World Series on Tuesday. Lee got a go-ahead, solo home run from Roberto Reyes in the top of the eighth inning after ERAU had tied the game at four runs apiece in the seventh, to take a 7-4 victory over the Eagles. ERAU ends their season at 51-11 while the Flames move into the semifinals of the World Series. ERAU falls to 2-5 all-time against the Flames.

Lee’s Jonathan Clark bunted the very first pitch of the con-test down the third base line, and the speedy centerfielder beat out the throw from Eagle catcher Adam Cellini to first. Joe Ramirez singled past a div-ing Steve Sabin in the follow-ing at bat to put runners at first and second for Michael Brown. Brown continued the single streak with a hit through the right side to plate Clark and give the Flames a 1-0 lead.

Maloney got a strikeout and line out for the first two outs of the game, but Lee’s catch-er Travis Anderson singled up the middle to score another run before he and Brown moved up a base on Aaron Glaum’s errant throw from centerfield. Coach Randy Stegall decided to make a change after the fourth hit of the inning off Maloney and brought in Brandon Creath. The junior accomplished the task by getting Seth Walker to fly out down the right field line to end the inning.

Jay Bolen started the bottom of the first inning with two quick outs of Glaum and Greg Smith, but Sabins put together a great at-bat after falling behind 0-2 by drawing a two-out walk. Chris

Page doubled down the left field line in the following at-bat as Sabins moved to third. Bolen ended the ERAU threat with a pop up off the bat of Ben Kline, protecting the 2-0 Lee lead.

Creath was effective in the second, retiring the Flames with a 6-4-3 double play from Clark after he walked Justin Marrero.

Bolen struck out the first two Eagles in the second, but followed that up by issuing two consecutive walks to J.T. Warmoth and Cellini. Glaum took Bolen’s first pitch to him toward the left side of the infield and Lee’s third baseman Preston Scoggins did a nice job of keeping the ball in the infield to stop Warmoth from scoring. For the second time in the game Bolen kept ERAU off the score-board by getting Smith to foul out to Scoggins and strand three Eagles on base.

Ramirez doubled off the wall in left center to kick-start the third for Lee before he was moved to third by Brown’s ground out to Kline at short. Chris Grayson grabbed an RBI with a sacri-fice fly to Glaum that scored Ramirez from third, extending the Flames lead to 3-0.

Page picked up his second hit in as many plate appearances with a single down the right field line with an out recorded in the third. Kline came through with a huge two-run homer over the fence in right center to cut the lead to 3-2.

Creath and the Eagles were in search of a shutdown inning in the visitor-half of the fourth frame, but the Santa Maria, Calif. native hit Anderson to begin the frame. ERAU got a twin-killing on the next pitch from Creath as Walker attempted to execute a hit-and-run, but Warmoth and Kline teamed up for a 4-6-3 double play, their second of the game. After a mound visit from Assistant Coach Dave Therneau, Creath walked Scoggins and it would come back to haunt him as Marrero doubled to the left cen-ter field gap to score Scoggins and give Lee a 4-2 lead.

Creath and the Blue and Gold defense kept Lee from scoring in the fifth, just the second score-less frame in the game. Glaum made a nice catch at the wall

to rob Brown of a double and Creath finished the inning off with a strikeout of Reyes.

Bolen retired his sixth, seventh and eighth consecutive Eagles in the fifth inning, putting up his second straight zero on the scoreboard, his fourth overall.

Creath came back in the top of the fifth with another score-less inning, despite walking a pair of Lee batters. Kline led off the sixth for Embry-Riddle with a shot to the left center gap, but a nice run and catch by the Lee left fielder

Walker retired the junior. Keaton Stroud followed with a double to the exact same spot, this time Walker failed to get to the ball in time. MacGeorge moved Stroud over to third on a ground ball to the shortstop for the second out of the inning. Warmoth stranded the sixth Eagle on the base paths when he flew out to deep centerfield for the final out of the frame.

After Creath hit the leadoff hitter in the seventh, Lee sacri-fice bunted him to second before Creath came through with a big strikeout of Brown for the sec-ond out. Creath was relieved by Daniel Eaton for the next batter,

ending his day. Eaton threw one pitch to Grayson, and the des-ignated hitter flew out to Smith down the left field line.

Matt Passaeur entered the game for Lee in the bottom of the seventh, issuing a walk to Cellini, the first Eagle lead-off batter to reach base all game long. Glaum sac bunt-ed Cellini’s courtesy runner, Jordan Romero, to second and nearly beat out the throw to first. Smith moved the runner to third on an infield ground ball. Sabins came through for the Eagles with a single through the left side of the infield that Romero was able to trot home on, cutting the Lee leas to 4-3.

Page took a 3-1 Passaeur pitch to off the wall in left centerfield that allowed Sabins to score, knotting the score at four runs apiece. Lee Coach Mark Brew saw enough from Passauer and went to the bull pen to bring in Curtis Camilli to face Kline. Kline just missed on a 0-1 pitch and popped a ball to shallow left that Ramirez put away to end the seventh.

Reyes reversed the momen-tum and put his team up 5-4 with a solo homer in the top of

the eighth, taking Eaton deep to straight away centerfield. Eaton settled down after surrendering the lead, retiring the next three Lee batters in the eighth.

Camilli faced the minimum in the home-half of the eighth, including the sixth strikeout by a Flames’ pitcher in the contest.

Eaton retired the first two bat-ters in the ninth, but an Eagle error brought in Phillip Reamy to face Brown. Reamy looked to get out of the inning on two sep-arate occasions, the first when Brown foul tipped a third strike into Cellini’s glove, but the catcher couldn’t hold on, giv-ing Brown new life. Brown then fouled a ball up to the right side of the field and Page caught the ball, but it was ruled that the ball hit the protective netting before the first baseman caught it.

Brown then singled to shallow right centerfield to put runners on the corners. Grayson came through for Lee by singling through the right side, plating an unearned insurance run for the Flames, giving them a 6-3 advantage. Reyes singled to left field to score Brown from sec-ond, pushing the Lee cushion to three runs.

Jeff Lemon got a pinch hit opportunity to begin the bot-tom of the ninth, but flew out to right field. Glaum singled up the middle to give ERAU a glimmer of hope, but Smith flew out to left and Sabins ended the season with a ground out to first base.

Maloney threw the first two outs for ERAU, surrendering two runs on four hits with one strikeout. Creath pitched six innings, giving up two earned runs on just three hits while fanning a trio of Flames. Eaton received the loss, throwing 2.0 frames, giving up one run on one hit, the solo homer with two strikeouts. Reamy pitched 0.1 inning, giving up two unearned runs on three hits.

The Wolfpack is back in ‘The Hangover II’ and it is just

as funny as the first. However, the storyline is pure déjà vu. After the first movie earned its title as the highest grossing R-rated comedy ever, it is of no surprise that the director, Todd Phillips, would closely imitate the plot for the sequel.

When we last saw the Wolfpack of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis), they had lost their about-to-be-wed friend, Doug (Justin Bartha), after a night of drunk-en debauchery in Las Vegas. After stealing a tiger from Mike Tyson, finding a six-month-old baby, and enrag-ing the Chinese mobster Chow (Ken Jeong), the trio sets out to retrace their steps and recall the events that took place the night before in an attempt to find their friend and get him back to his wedding in time.

Two years later, in ‘The Hangover II’, Stu is about to be wed in Thailand. Rather

than a bachelor party, the Wolfpack and Stu’s teenage brother-in-law, Teddy (Mason Lee), decide to celebrate with a few innocent pre wed-ding beers. Like the previous movie, they wake up on a hotel floor, only this time in a shady area of Bangkok with a drug dealing monkey instead of a tiger, mysterious tattoos on them and with the Chinese mobster, Chow.

This time, however, Teddy is the one missing from the group, leaving behind just one trace, his finger. Just like last time, they must piece together their hazy memories of the night before, which include a monk, transvestites and a violent street riot, so they can find Teddy before the wedding is ruined.

Regardless of the similar plot lines of both movies, if you enjoyed the raunchiness and sheer hilarity of the first ‘Hangover’, you are sure to enjoy the second.

THE HANGOVER PART TWO brings the wolfpack to the other side of the world, complete with crazy monkey, Chinese villian and Mike Tyson’s tattoo rather than Mike Tyson. The plot lines may be similar, but it still remains as entertaining if you liked the first movie.
