Furthermore, Iset new clients up with their stu-dio sessions at our studio whenthey request our services. Lastly,on a daily basis, I am the one thatnetworks with label executives,A&R’s, DJ’s and artists to helpimprove our company and artist’scareers.

For the UCF Surf Team,the 2011 National Inter-scholastic Championshipsheld in Salt Creek Beach,Calif., was a weekend offirsts and lasts.

During the three-daycompetition, which beganJune 16, team captain AmyNicholl was given two newawards, and three of themen’s short-board contest-ants, who have graduatedor are graduating this sum-mer, participated in theirlast competition with theUCF team.

Nicholl, who has beensurfing since she was nineyears old, received the Cap-tain of the Year award andthe Chuck Allen MemorialTrophy.

“Out of all the guys andgirls in colleges, they choseme for the first time, whichwas unexpected and reallycool,” said Nicholl, whoplaced third in the collegewomen’s division.

The New Smyrna Beachnative was spoken highly ofby her teammates and clubmembers.

“She definitely workshard, and she’s a great teamcaptain, so we’re stokedabout that,” said secretaryand risk management offi-cer Josh Baer.

“Amy – she gets goodgrades, she’s a leader, sheencourages us all to dogood things, so I feel likethat definitely makes usstand out as representingUCF in a good way,” JohnAylmer, the new presidentof the club, said. “We’re notthe stereotypical surfers.”

Other team membersechoed similar sentimentsabout the prevailing surferstereotype.

“The team as well as theclub has been a huge learn-ing experience meaningthat I’m absolutely puttingthis on my résumé for grad

school,” said the club’smost recent president,Travis Eubanks. “We’re nota bunch of burnouts. Thereactually are smart surfers.”

The team traveled toCalifornia a few daysbefore the competitionbegan to practice and accli-mate themselves to thewest coast’s waves.

Eubanks said it tooksome time to get used tothe cold water.

“Coming from just a pairof board shorts to a wetsuit,it’s a dramatic change inweight,” Eubanks said. “Itchanges your balance com-pletely.”

Nicholl agreed.“It’s critical to practice

on the waves that the con-test was at,” Nicholl said.“At the same time, every-day, the waves are differ-ent.”

Eubanks said that teampractices are helpful, butwhen it comes to the actualcompetition, it’s just youout on the water.

“You only get as far asyou let yourself get,”Eubanks said. “It takes a lotof power and a little bit ofluck.”

Current club presidentJohn Aylmer focused solelyon his own abilities, ratherthan what his competitorswere doing.

“Before I paddled out inmy heat, I didn’t even lookwho I was surfing againstbecause it really doesn’tmatter,” Aylmer said. “It’snot going to make me surfany better or worse, I wasgoing to try my hardesteither way.”

UCF’s team placed 13thout of 17 teams.

“I feel like we represent-ed UCF as best we could,”Aylmer said. “I knew it wasgoing to be a really toughcompetition because [Cali-fornia-based competitors]surf better waves moreoften.”

Baer attributed the

team’s placement to theincrease in professionalsurfers returning to schoolfor a degree in case surfingdoesn’t work out.

“In the past, there usedto be a couple awesometeams that would just kindof dominate, but now everyteam is good, every team iswell-rounded,” Baer said.“In the future, I would liketo do better, but in the end,we still finished top 15 inthe nation.”

Baer, Eubanks andTravis Gleason, the treasur-er, are the three memberswho have graduated or willbe graduating this summer.

Aylmer said the threewere very welcomingwhen he first joined.

“They brought a lot oflaughter to the team, but Ifeel like they’re still goingto be around or we’ll still bein contact with them,”Aylmer said. “Losing them,we’re going to lose somereally good surfers.”

used profanity to get themost out of his players.

Jackson said that he wasthe only certified athletictrainer at the March 18,2008 session. When Yerridasked Jackson how manytimes he recalled having anumber of athletes on thefield with one [certified]trainer, Jackson said that hejust remembered this onetime. Jackson rode in theambulance with Plancherand said he knew thatPlancher had passed awaywhen he left the hospitallater that day.

Before the lunch recessDr. Edward “Randy” Eichn-er was called to the stand.Eichner has been practicingmedicine for 45 years andhas studied sickle cell traitfor 25 of those years.

Eichner testified that heworked as a professor ofmedicine at the Universityof Oklahoma for 32 years,where he was also responsi-ble for any internal medi-cine problem that membersof the football team had.

While under directexamination by Yerrid,Eichner described sicklecell trait as an inheritedcondition that increases thelikelihood of collapse dur-ing exertion. Eichner toldthe jury how he counseledathletes who had sickle celltrait. Eichner said he toldathletes that they shouldstop at the earliest warningsign. “If you stop early, you’ll

recover early,” Eichner said.Yerrid asked Eichner

how long it takes for sick-ling to occur in a sickle celltrait athlete, and Eichnersaid it occurs within twominutes to five minutes ofexertion without rest.

Eichner also testifiedthat the conditioning drillwas below the standard ofcare for sickle cell athletes.

“The pace was too fast,rest was too brief and [the]obstacle course was reck-less,” he said.

Yerrid asked Eichner ifUCFAA acted in a mannerthat was below the acceptedmanner of care in terms ofPlancher’s health and safety.

“Yes sir, they did. CoachO’Leary knew he had sicklecell trait and sprang anobstacle course on him,”Eichner said.

Eichner testified that anintervention should haveoccurred before Plancherwas released for the obsta-cle course.

The issue of hydrationwas also broached duringdirect examination. Eichnertestified that athletes con-tinue to dehydrate as theyexercise which increasesthe degree of sickling.

On cross-examination,UCFAA attorney DanShapiro pointed out howmuch Eichner is being paidby Plancher’s attorneys forhis time. Eichner respondedwith $500 an hour. Shapiroadded up the time that Eich-ner has spent on the case.The total amount Eichner

has earned thus far for histime totaled $70,000.

Shapiro asked Eichneron cross-examination abouthow Eichner was “consult-ing and helping” the med-ical examiner after the firstautopsy was found to beinconclusive. Eichner saidhe is trying to end deaths ofathletes and stood by hisdecision of contacting med-ical examiner Josh Stephanyabout researching sicklecell trait as Plancher’s causeof death.

Eichner said he contact-ed the Orange County med-ical examiner and suggest-ed he consider exertionalsickling as a cause of deathafter the initial autopsy.

A later autopsy byStephany concluded thatPlancher died from dys-rhythmia due to acute exer-tional rhabdomyolysis with

sickle cell trait.Anise Duprat, Ereck

Plancher’s aunt, also testi-fied on Friday. Dupratdescribed her relationshipwith Plancher as very close.

“Like a son to me,”Duprat said.

Duprat describedPlancher as loving, respect-ful and a people person.Duprat said that her and hersister heard about Planch-er’s death on the morning ofMarch 18, 2008 while theywere working at MooringsPark nursing home inNaples. Giselle Plancherreceived the call while atwork from UCF officials.Duprat said they toldGiselle Plancher that herson was in the hospital.Duprat took her sister homeand on the way received acall from Ereck’s father,Enock Plancher. Enock told

Duprat that Ereck had died.“I said ‘Lord give me

strength so I can take mysister home,’” Duprat said.

Duprat said she helpedher sister to the house andput her on the couch whereGiselle Plancher passed out.Duprat likened the loss toher sister having lost a partof her body. She testifiedthat the death has had amajor effect on the familyand that Enock and Giselleno longer celebrate holi-days.

Former Knights widereceiver Brian Watters wascalled to testify by Plancherattorneys about the dayPlancher collapsed andlater died. Watters testifiedthat O’Leary ordered waterand trainers out of theNicholson Fieldhouse dur-ing the March 18, 2008 con-ditioning session. Watterssaid this was somethingO’Leary did to “increasemental toughness”. Watters’testimony contradictedwhat O’Leary testified to onThursday. O’Leary said dur-ing his testimony on Thurs-day that he never orderedwater or trainers out of thefieldhouse on the day ofPlancher’s death.

Watters testified widereceiver Anthony Davishelped Plancher getthrough the run comingback from the obstaclecourse. Watters describedPlancher as looking verytired and looking for thenext breath. He also saidPlancher’s eyes were

squinting a lot and at onepoint glazed over. Watterstestified that while O’Learywas speaking to players in ahuddle, Plancher lookedslouched over trying to holdup a knee. Watters saidO’Leary singled out Planch-er and scolded him for notdoing better on the sprints.Watters testified thatPlancher was too tired to do“cool-downs” after condi-tioning and that afterPlancher collapsed he washelped out of the fieldhouseby four teammates.

Dr. Daniel Spitz, apathologist, testified ondirect examination that hisreview of the medical filesconcluded that Plancherdied from complicationswith sickle cell trait.

During cross-examina-tion, UCFAA attorneyShapiro attempted to dis-count Spitz’s expert knowl-edge by bringing up a failedautopsy conducted by Spitzin Macomb County, Mich.in 2010 after Spitz failed tofind a bullet wound in askull during an autopsy.Spitz defended himself bysaying that the body wasvery decomposed.

Dr. Daniel Spitz is theson of Dr. Werner Spitz, anexpert who testified in theCasey Anthony trial just 11floors above the Planchertrial courtroom.

On Monday, the jury willtake a trip to UCF wherejurors will tour NicholsonFieldhouse where Plancherhad his final workout.

about beer when he took atrip as part of an Interna-tional Studies course whenhe was a student at RollinsCollege.

“When I was at Rollins,

we went to Germany for theInternational Studies class. Idrank the beer over thereand really enjoyed it.” Mea-som said. “When I cameback, this was 1991, youcouldn’t get that importedbeer here in Florida. So then

I started making my ownbeer, so that I could havethat kind of beer.”

Measom said thatCicerone certifications arebecoming the standard inmany establishments, suchas distributorships.

“Distributors are reallywanting people to havethis because then theyknow the product thatthey’re selling to theretailers,” Measom said.

Measom teaches hiscourse in both the fall andthe spring at Rosen, but hecurrently is teaching anabridged version of hiscourse to employees atthe Shipyard Emporiumon Fairbanks Avenue. Thecourse involves samplinga variety of beers, such asales, stouts and lagers. Hesaid that, although beersampling is part of thiscourse, he monitors theconsumption very care-fully. He used the exampleof his course on Saturdayto emphasize his point.

“They got one-ouncesamples over an hour oftime. That’s roughly a lit-tle more than one beer,and the body can processan ounce of alcohol,”Measom said. “It’s theequivalent of having onebeer over an hour’s time.”

Ron Raike, a brewer forthe Shipyard BrewingCompany, assists Measomin teaching his course atthe Shipyard Emporium.Raike has been a brewerfor 22 years, and said thatfinding local breweries ismuch more common-place than it used to be inearlier years.

“It’s like getting your

bread from a fresh bakery.You don’t have to go toMilwaukee or to Coloradoto get your beer. You canget your beer, just likebread, from a local brew-ery.”

Katie Linn, a seniorhospitality managementmajor, has taken Mea-som’s course at Rosen.She successfully passedthe Cicerone CertificationExam and is now a certi-fied beer server afterlearning an “incredible”amount of information.

She also took a coursein wines to determine ifshe wanted to become anexpert in wine or beer.

“I’m doing the tourismtrack and I’m very inter-ested in good food, finewines and good beers, so Ialso took the wine class aswell, just to kind of see if Ihave the mouth for it, andthe taste.”

Linn is not planning tomove beyond the Certi-fied Beer certification,because her career will be

focused outside of thebrewery industry.

Mandy Protheroe, ajunior advertising andpublic relations major, is abartender at the ShipyardEmporium who isenrolled in the summercourse at the Shipyard.She said she felt thatimproving her knowledgeof beer would be impor-tant to her work.

“When guests come inand they want to knowabout the beers that youserve, you can’t just belike, ‘Oh, I don’t know,’”Protheroe said. “I want tobe able to have thatknowledge and share thatso people can learn, too.”

Protheroe brews herown beer at home andsaid that obtaining thiscertification could possi-bly help her achieve oneof her dreams.

“There’s always beenthat childhood fantasy ofmine of opening up a bar,and I guess this definitelywould help.”

be awarded their M.D.,”Peppler said.

Full accreditation for thecollege will be decided onin 2013, when 2009’s charterclass is in its fourth year ofthe program. Before then,the faculty expects the sur-vey team to make anothervisit, likely in the fall of 2012.Peppler said each verdict isbased on how the College ofMedicine meets education-al criteria.

“The team that came onsite were the eyes and theears of the LCME, and forthem to say, ‘Good job,you’re doing things well,’and that we can continue,that’s a nice a feather in thecap of all of the faculty andthe students,” Peppler said.

To be granted fullaccreditation, Peppler saidthe college must meet thesame standards as theywere evaluated on previ-ously. In addition, the sur-vey team will look at thecollege’s use of electivecourses and programs thatfit the needs of students.

“There will be no slack-ing off,” Peppler said.“We’re going to be workingas hard as we can up to fall2012 when the school isevaluated for the finaltime.”

Second-year College ofMedicine student AvianneMills feels this latest step inaccreditation is a validationof her decision to attend theschool.

“Over the past year, I’vehad such an innovatingexperience [studying at thecollege],” Mills said. “Foreach one of us, it was sort oflike an investment, choos-ing to come to a schoolwhere full accreditationhadn’t yet been received. Ifeel that this recent step inaccreditation is really moreof a confirmation how greatthis program is.”

Sarubbi said the college

is expected to grow by 80students this fall. By thetime accreditation isexpected to be granted in2013, the college will havean estimated 120 new stu-dents with more than 100preparing to graduate.

Students graduatingfrom the college will beentering the workforce withan advanced skill set, butwill also get hands-on expe-rience and provide healthcare for residents in thearea who need it. Recently,the American Medical Stu-dent Association awardedthe College of Medicine thePaul R. Wright Award inacknowledgement of itsvolunteerism.

“Community service is abig part of the College ofMedicine,” Sarubbi said. “Ina big way, the surroundingcommunity helped to cre-ate the college, so the stu-dents are always givingback in recognition of that.”

Mills agreed, notinghands-on volunteeringhelps to shape the learningprocess.

“A medical school is real-ly there to serve its commu-nity, and it’s definitely a keyingredient in our learningprocess,” Mills said. “We’regiven ample opportunitiesto do that here which is oneof the reasons why I chose

UCF. The volunteering wedo really instills the under-standing of what we’regoing into medicine for —which is to serve others.”

However, it isn’t just theaward-winning serviceprojects that attract stu-dents, Sarubbi said. Shecredits the college’s high-tech facility as a sizeablefactor in their progress asan up-and-coming medicalschool.

“The technology in ourcollege really allows us [asfaculty members] to pre-pare our students to be doc-tors in the 21st century,”Sarubbi said.

With her first year underher belt, Mills is confidentthat UCF’s College of Med-icine was the right choicefor her and will only contin-ue to grow as a competitivemedical school.

“I’m confident that it isreally going to prepare meto be the best physician Ican be,” Mills said.

sion to the RoboBoatcompetition late lastAugust. Their task was tobuild a small boat capableof guiding itself through aseries of challenges with-out the help of its creators;in other words, a com-pletely autonomous robot.

“There are actuallyseveral different chal-lenges,” robotics club vicepresident Michael Scher-er said. “The main chal-lenge, which is called theautonomous challenge, iswhere the robot mustdrive through these lanes;so its almost like a roadexcept with a ton of obsta-cles. So they have tododge these obstacleswhile still staying in thelanes, which is actually abit more challenging thanyou’d think. The robotsthemselves are allautonomous. So thatmeans there is no remotecontrols, or anything likethat; there is a computeron the robot itself that weprogram and that makesall the decisions.”

Scherer, a senior com-puter science major, wenton to say that some of theobstacles that the robothad to overcome includedputting out a small firewith a squirt gun, as wellas retrieving a tennis ballthat was underwater.While there are standardsin the competition thatthe robot must meet, therules are kept loose so stu-dents can show their cre-ativity. While some teamsdeployed a small object toretrieve the tennis ball,the club’s robot used along arm.

“Our main focus whenwe designed this robotwas to design a very solidplatform,” Scherer said.“We weren’t too worriedabout the software; wewere worried about

designing something thatwould have no hardwareproblems, no electricalproblems, that would justwork.”

Within the roboticsclub there are three sub-groups, referred to as thebig teams — the groundvehicle team, boat teamand submarine team. Hav-ing already taken homesecond place in both theIntelligent Ground Vehi-cle Competition and theRoboBoat competition,the robotics club ispreparing for their

upcoming submarinecompetition in San Diego.Barber is hoping they canlearn a few lessons fromtheir previous competi-tions.

“Specifically, we aregoing to simplify some ofthe electronics that wehave on the boat,” Barbersaid. “We are going tochange the types ofmotors that we are usingto make a more sturdyplatform because we werehaving a lot of hardwareissues and would like toimprove those for next

year.”Not surprisingly, build-

ing robots is not a cheaphobby. According to Bar-ber, a single robot can costupwards of $20,000.Members of the roboticsclub find motivation toexcel in competition notonly for the glory, but alsobecause much of the fund-ing for the club comesfrom money won in com-petitions. In addition totheir winnings, fundingfor the club comes fromvarious sponsorships andSGA.

Many may think thatmembers of the roboticsclub walk in to their firstmeeting already knowinghow to build and programa robot. In fact, it is quitethe contrary.

“When I first got torobotics club I didn’tknow about any form ofrobotics whatsoever,”Bernard said. “It was kindof nice. They don’t haveany requirements for theclub, you just join. Ifyou’re interested, theytake you.”

Scherer said that when

he first attended a robot-ics club meeting his fresh-man year of college, hehad a vague interest inrobots, but the closest hehad ever come to actuallybuilding one was when heplayed with Legos as achild. According theScherer, as long as indi-viduals have a genuineinterest and are self-moti-vated, they do well in theclub.

“We like to say, ‘Nomatter how much youknow, you can come in,’”Scherer said.

Looking ahead

In Terry Rooney’s short tenureas head coach of the Knights base-ball team, UCF has made majorstrides.

The Knights earned a top-25ranking. Then, they swept nationalchampionship contender Floridaand beat ranked teams FloridaState, Alabama, Rice and Stetsonen route to the team’s first trip tothe NCAA tournament since 2004.

Following the memorable sea-son, eight Knights were offeredbig-league opportunities whenthey were selected in the MLBDraft or when they signed freeagent contracts.

Last week, UCF lost anotherkey component of its team whenassociate head coach Cliff Godwinleft the Knights and accepted theposition of hitting coach at OleMiss.

The Central Florida Futurecaught up with Rooney to discusswhat losing Godwin and theseplayers means for the Knights.

Central Florida Future: Whatdoes it mean for the UCF baseballteam to lose Coach Godwin?

Terry Rooney: Coach Godwindid a tremendous job in his timehere. He is an extremely big reasonfor our success, serving as ourrecruiting coordinator and our hit-ting coach. Coach Godwin and Ipersonally were together for sixyears and there’s no question thathe’s one of the best hitting coachesin the entire country. Obviously, heis going to be missed. He did agreat job while he was here.

CFF: Do you have any plans forhis replacement so far?

Rooney: Yes, I’m searching forsomebody. I’m in the process rightnow in finding his replacement.

CFF: Do you expect anythingto change in recruiting by losingCoach Godwin?

Rooney: No.

CFF: After coaching withCoach Godwin for six years, howdifferent will it be for you with himno longer on your staff?

Rooney: Coach[Godwin] was avery goodfriend ofmine, and

he’s an outstanding coach and hecertainly did a great job recruiting-wise, coaching-wise; [he] certainlydid everything. So obviously whenyou’ve got somebody that’s beenwith you for that long, it’s a certaincomfort level.

But obviously we’ve got a greatstaff with Coach [Jeff] Palumboand with Coach [Brandon]Romans, and I feel confident withthe direction of the program andwhere we’re going. We’ve estab-lished ourselves and we’re back inthe national spotlight. We’ve estab-lished ourselves as a top-25 base-ball program. Coach Godwin cer-tainly had a lot to do with that, andI feel like we’re going to go out andfind an outstanding candidate toreplace him.

CFF: Now thatUCF has made itback to theNCAA tourna-ment, despitegetting knockedout at theregional level,how does thishelp motivatethe team toget even fur-ther next sea-son and workhard in the offsea-son?

Rooney: First andforemost, I think inmany ways the hardest

Nik Robson, UCF’s NewZealand-born goal-scoring

sensation, is focusing his sum-mer on getting better and

preparing for his sophomore sea-son with the Knights.

After playing with the MLS’s ChicagoFire Premiere Development League, Rob-son is now training at Performance Ath-letix in Minneapolis, Minn., an elite train-ing facility that trains professionalathletes.

The Central Florida Future caught upwith Robson to see how his training wasgoing.

Central Florida Future: How waseverything in Chicago with the ChicagoFire PDL?

Nik Robson: Well, Chicago wasn’twhat I thought. I don’t want to talk [bad]about another team, you know what Imean? But like, they had a really goodgroup of players from a lot of schoolsaround the country. There was a lot of top25 teams [represented] and about two orthree players from each team. But, it kind

of made me realize how our team (UCF) isreally close; and when you try to throwtogether a bunch of great players, it mightnot be good straight away. You know whatI mean?

CFF: How long did you guys practicefor together before playing in a game?

Robson: A week.

CFF: How did the season go?Robson: Well it’s still going on right

now. I didn’t get a goal, but I had a fewassists. They were playing me in a differ-ent position than what I was used to.

CFF: They weren’t playing you as astriker?

Robson: They played me further back.But it wasn’t my game; I was kind of play-ing out of position. I mean, I’ve playedthere before, but I don’t think that’s whereI’m supposed to be playing. I don’t thinkthat’s where my skills lie.

decided I needed to prepfor the fall season and justtrain all the way through.With (Chicago FirePDL’s) team training, Iwasn’t going to improveindividually. I have theoption to where I want totrain.

CFF: What is thistraining thing that you’redoing now?

Robson: It isn’t evensoccer. It’s for profession-al and collegiate athletestrying to go up to the nextlevel. The guy I’m trainingwith is really well-respected and consideredto be elite.

CFF: What are someof the things you do?

Robson: Well, at themoment, I’m currentlydestroyed. It’s incredible.

Like, we do two trainingsessions a day. This morn-ing, I was on a treadmill. Iran for a minute, and [mytrainer] kicked up [theRPMs]. And then he keptdoing it. And then I wasdoing interval sprints onthe treadmill. He had mesprint until I couldn’t do itanymore. I did that 24times; sprinting as fast as Icould, for as long as Icould, until I fell off thetreadmill. I don’t thinkI’ve ever trained asintense as that. I’m deadright now.

CFF: Seems like you’llbe prepared for next sea-son then. Where are youheaded after Minneapo-lis?

Robson: Back toOrlando where I starttraining. I can kind of startfocusing on myself. Also, alot of the team will be

there as well, so we canpush each other.

CFF: What are someof your goals for next sea-son?

Robson: Well, team-wise I think everyonewants to win the confer-ence and I think that’s arealistic goal consideringhow we did last year andthe new players we got.And we didn’t lose anyplayers. For me, I want toscore 20 goals. And I wantto be an All-American.

CFF: What do youthink about the soccer sta-dium being expanded?

Robson: I think every-one is pretty excitedabout that. We had like2,000 people at the SMUgame last year and it real-ly helped us out a lot. Ithink we can get more ofthat at the new stadium.

part is just getting there.Now that, for the first timeafter seven years we’ve got-ten there, everybody knowswhat the expectation levelis. We’re not just satisfied tohave gone there. The mostimportant thing is we’re try-ing to win a regional and getto Omaha.

CFF: What does it meanfor UCF to have eight play-ers drafted or sign a free-agent contract, going upfrom just three last year?

Rooney: I think it is out-standing to see all of thosekids to get opportunities toplay professional baseball.You know, one of the rea-sons that you come toschool at UCF is to try tofulfill individually your goalof playing professionalbaseball, reaching the majorleagues. I want that to be agoal of all of our guys sothat’s awesome. Obviouslyit means we’re going tohave to replace a significantamount of those guys and Ifeel like with our recruitingclass, hopefully we’ll be ingood shape with that.

CFF: After losing ahandful of players to gradu-ation and the draft, how doyou feel about the teamgoing into the summer, thefall and next season?

Rooney: I think we haveone of the top 10 recruitingclasses in the entire nationcoming in. Some of that willbe contingent upon oursigning class and if theyenroll. We had several ofour recruits drafted andobviously a lot of those guyswill also have an opportuni-ty, so it just depends. But Ifeel right now that we haveone of the best recruitingclasses in the country.

CFF: Tell me a little bit

about Chris Matulis. Youdrafted him out of highschool and now, going intohis junior season, he’ll final-ly get a chance to play foryou.

Rooney: Obviously, Irecruited him to LSU. Hehad Tommy John surgery,so he was really rehabbingthis year. He was drafted,that shows you the poten-tial of him; he didn’t throw apitch this year but he wasstill drafted. Obviously hehas a very bright futureahead of him and he’s some-body we’re going to becounting on tremendouslynext year.

CFF: There are somebig shoes to fill in theinfield, especially at the cor-ners and especially at firstbase. I know that it’ll bedetermined through the falland start of spring once theteam is together, but D.J.Hicks is playing at first thissummer up in Cape Cod.Can we expect him to stepup and be a contender forthat position?

Rooney: Yeah, I defi-nitely think so. I talked toD.J. at the end of the seasonand told him that he’s goingto have an opportunity toplay every day as a positionplayer in the field. JonathanGriffin was an outstandingfirst baseman and that’swhy D.J. DHed last year, butD.J.’s going to have everyopportunity to win ourfirst-base job.

CFF: What about ChrisTaladay? When DerekLuciano was knocked out ofthe 2010 season with aninjury, Chris took over thirdbase. Once Chris is fullyrecovered, is he a possiblechance for everyday thirdbase?

Rooney: I think thatonce Chris Taladay ishealthy, he will be an every-

day player for us; I knowthat. Chris Taladay hasproven himself as one of thebest players in ConferenceUSA. He can play a lot ofdifferent positions, so I feelvery confident that as longas his rehabilitation contin-ues and he gets through hisinjury that he’ll be an every-day player for us. Thirdbase is certainly an optionbut he can be in the outfieldor catch. We’re going tohave to use a lot of guys atcatcher this fall.

CFF: There’s alwaysbeen depth at the catcher’sposition, but Beau Taylor’salways won that spot. Whatare your plans for that posi-tion?

Rooney: We haveseveral returning play-ers who have caughtand we’ve got some ofour incoming signeesare also catchers, so Ifeel like we’re going tohave enough of a collec-tion of guys to replaceBeau Taylor.

CFF: UCF lost NickCicio and Johnny Sed-lock, two-thirds of itskey lefty-relieving triothat everyone had cometo rely on. How hardwill it be to rebuild thebullpen in that respect,and how important is itto do so?

Rooney: I thoughtthat we pitched a lotbetter last year as fromthe year prior, so the

biggest thing is that we needto continue that progressionwith our pitching. We’ve gota few left-handed pitcherscoming in, in this recruitingclass.

CFF: With half of theteam scattered around thecountry playing summer ball,

what are you doing this sum-mer?

Rooney: Actively recruit-ing. Obviously the summer isan extremely busy time for usfrom a recruiting standpoint,so obviously we’re on theroad quite often. No. 1 isrecruiting and No. 2 ispreparing for the fall.

he Food and DrugAdministration is com-ing after big tobacco in

a major way.The Wall Street Journal

recently reported that theFDA will now require ciga-rette makers to carry graphicimagery on their productsthat depict the harmful effectsof smoking. Some of theseimages include a man exhal-ing smoke through a hole inhis neck, a baby near a cloudof black smoke and a deadbody, according to the Journal.

These images will beaccompanied by warninglabels that include messagesthat say, “smoking can killyou” and “cigarettes causecancer.” Although it is neces-sary and proper for the FDAto ensure that cigarette con-sumers know the entire truthregarding the product theyare inhaling, this step has thepotential to overemphasizethe harmful effects of smok-ing.

If a consumer picks up apackage that has a man puff-ing smoke through a hole inhis neck, one could quicklyassume that something likethat could happen to themnext month, or possibly nextweek. It represents an over-simplification of what hap-pens when an individualbegins smoking cigarettes.

There is no doubt that

there are very serious andpotentially deadly effects tosmoking cigarettes. The gov-ernment ranks it as the lead-ing cause of preventable andpremature death in the Unit-ed States, linking it to an esti-mated 443,000 deaths peryear, according to the Journal.The National Cancer Institutealso finds that it is responsiblefor many types of cancer, suchas cancers of the lung, larynx,esophagus, mouth and throat.

Some type of imagerymight even be helpful, but theimages required by the FDA,however, such as a dead bodyor a man with a black shirtwith the words “I quit” writ-ten across his chest, may be astep too far. This step has thepotential of setting a prece-dent where government agen-cies can now feel empoweredto go after other products andservices they dislike in a simi-lar fashion.

There are several organiza-tions that speak out forcefullyagainst the harmful effects ofalcohol, for example. A recentstudy by London’s ImperialColleges Chair of Neuropsy-chopharmacology finds thatalcohol is the most dangerousdrug on earth. It also happensto rank tobacco as the sixthmost dangerous drug, farbehind alcohol.

Alcohol has been blamedfor many car accidents, as

well as deaths across thiscountry. No one is expectingthe government, however, toplace images of dead bodiesor totaled vehicles on cases ofbeer, bottles of wine andliquor.

These new imagesrequired by the FDA couldeasily make other governmentagencies feel empowered togo after beer, wine and liquorcompanies. It would also bevery easy to pick on gambling,given the dangers that havebeen associated with compul-sive gambling. It is not a farstretch to think of images ofstrung-out gamblers placedalong the walls of casinoswhile walking toward thedoors. This may sound ludi-crous to some, but the mightyhand of government can domany things if not kept incheck.

The government has aclear responsibility to makesure that smokers are fullyinformed regarding the choicethey are making when theybuy cigarettes. The surgeongeneral’s warning is a clearexample of this. However,these new images may havegone too far in the effort toinform smokers of the inher-ent dangers in smoking. Weshould all take a step back andcarefully re-evaluate the stepthat the government has takenhere.

OUR STANCE

Cigarette labelscould be trouble

As America fallsdeeper into the depthsof despair — morespecifically financialruin — we start scram-bling to find theanswers. Political bicker-ing escalates, whilethose with a brain lookfor the cure.

One of the resound-ing themes, in the newsand from the mouths ofour most successful business lead-ers, is innovation. It is, and alwayshas been, America’s saving graceand undoubtedly the only thingthat can keep us a rung or twoabove our eastern competitors.Their growth is now exponential,while ours is, at best, stagnant; ouroverindulgent way of life caught upto us.

While I may be lacking theanswers to most of our problems, Ido know how we can all becomemore inventive.

I was made aware that I knewthis when I was scouring Barnesand Noble for what I should writenext. I stumbled across ScientificAmerican Mind Volume 22, Num-ber 2, page 22, and according toHarvard University researcherShelley Carson, inventive peopleare prone to “fanciful ideas or para-normal beliefs.” The fact that I wason the lookout for an omen placedme in the exclusive normal-need-not-apply club.

What initially attracted me tothe magazine was the man on thecover with a crazy hair-do, similarto mine, and a mad, as in “stark-raving,” look on his face. Accordingto the words across his forehead,the pertaining article was: “AnUnfiltered Mind. Creativity flowsbest when barriers are down.”

I was pleased to read thisbecause my mental barriers havealways been just a big pile of rub-ble that I swear does nothing morefor me than take off one of my flip-flops if I step on it wrong.

The article stated thatresearchers now know why highlycreative people seem weird.

Carson states, “Creativity andeccentricity may be the result ofgenetic variations that increasecognitive disinhibition — thebrain’s failure to filter out extrane-ous information.”

For a positive spin, it’s thebrain’s ability to relate things that

one normally would notbe able to relate becausetheir subconsciousunwisely told themsome of the pieces of thepuzzle were superfluous.

And piecing thingstogether in new ways isexactly what someonemust do in order to cre-ate.

The article illustratedthat another common

trait of inventive individuals was apreference for solitary activities,even preferring work to socializing.I don’t have to reach far into mypast for an example of my solitarylifestyle preference. I recentlywrote a donation letter as a favorand when I was thanked, I replied,“No problem, I would actually pre-fer to do something like this for afriend than actually socialize withmy friends.”

Oh yeah, and “mild paranoia”also qualifies me, according to Car-son, along with being “hard to getclose to.”

It is officially called a schizotyp-al personality, schizophrenia’s farless threatening cousin. It is a per-sonality that most eccentric peoplehave. While it lends itself to thesame unconventional ways of pro-cessing information as schizophre-nia, it does so without inheritingthe debilitating disease.

Though I will not be utteringthe words “schizotypal personali-ty” during a job interview, theseodd and sometimes lonesome qual-ities truly do produce good results.

Many students at Harvardscored well above average onschizotypal scales; so if you too arean oddball, don’t worry, we’re ingood company.

My advice to you is this: inorder to invent, don’t deny yournatural tendencies like at least oneof your elementary school teachersbullied you into doing and stopmentally flogging yourself whenyou have an “out of place” thought.When you fully indulge youreccentric brain, it will hand youmany more “Aha!” moments.

You will help pull America upfrom the dried-up well we’ve stum-bled into when you dive, head first,into the intoxicating pool of cre-ativity. Just try to do so gracefully;even though I’m already soakingwet, I hate it when people splashme.

Oddballs are theleaders of innovation

DON WRIGHT / TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Here’s a riddle for you:How do you balance abudget without raisingtaxes? The answer: Taxa-tion without representation— and that’s exactly what ishappening in the state ofFlorida.

Thanks to Gov. RickScott, Florida’s new budgetis being balanced on themost vulnerable of groups,middle class included.Probably one of the newestissues engulfed in heated debate is thelegislature’s decision to require stateemployees to contribute to their ownretirement accounts. This sweepingpension overhaul bill mandates that all655,000 members of the Florida Retire-ment System contribute 3 percent oftheir salary to their pension plans.

According to supporters of this leg-islation, this move should save thestate close to $1 billion. Though Iappreciate strategies that will saveFlorida some cash, I do not appreciateour public employees being discrimi-nated against. Opponents of this planreferred to it as an income tax on pub-lic employees — and I could not agreemore.

Public employees include teachers,firemen, police officers and so forth.They are the individuals who provideus with services that we rely on, andthey do it on a very small salary.

Take teachers into consideration:Teachers are already near the bottomof the totem pole when it comes tohours worked and money received. Infact, as of last year teachers werealready earning a meager averagesalary of $46,708. Now compare this tothe national average of $55,202, andyou’ll see why Florida is quickly dip-ping to be ranked No. 47 in regards toteacher pay.

It should also be noted that Floridateacher pay, which is set at the districtlevel, has been stagnant for severalyears now, so the majority of ourteachers have not seen a pay raise inquite some time.

Supply-side economics will tell youthat when you tax someone’s income,they begin to lack an incentive to earn.Ergo, quality and productivity levelsdecrease, resulting in an overalldecline of income and tax revenue.This philosophy can be applied to themiddle class too — it’s not just a trick-le-down concept. When you’re taking3 percent of a teacher’s pay, it will

result in both a reduction ofrevenue for the FRS and areduction in the quality ofeducation that our studentswill receive.

With that said, youmight argue that publicemployees are alreadyworking for low wages andare willing to do so becausethey receive benefitsthrough the state. This is avalid point, and if you askScott, he’ll tell you that this

factor within itself is unfair to the pri-vate sector.

“Very few private sector employeeshave a pension plan that is 100 percent.It’s the right thing to do for our state,”Scott said on June 20.

Point taken Scott — but you’remissing the larger picture at hand.Individuals have a choice to work aspublic or private employees. No one isforced to be a teacher and certainly noone is forced to work in the privatesector to cover his or her retirementplans. If you want to be a member ofthe FRS and join the noncontributorysystem, then do it. There’s nothingunfair about it if you have that choice.

Don’t be surprised if you start see-ing good teachers leave Florida. Noone appreciates big government, andthere is nothing bigger than the gov-ernment mandating where 3 percentof your paycheck should go.

Fortunately, public employees aretaking action; last Monday the state’slargest teachers union filed a lawsuit tostop this plan from going through. Themain argument at hand is the issue ofconstitutionality. In 1974 the FloridaLegislature established FRS as a non-contributory system, meaning thatmembers need not contribute. Thelawsuit explains that mandating newFRS members to contribute the 3 per-cent would be acceptable, but it isunconstitutional to force the old mem-bers to do the same.

The current Republican leadershipin our state is practicing an ideology ofconvenience. They only tax those whoare convenient to tax, and unless wesue, we literally have no way to stopthem.

What we need to do is pink slipScott before he pink slips all of ourpublic employees. If Florida is to “getback to work,” maybe we should stopfinding ways to “get our country back”and start thinking of ways to keepmoving forward.

Scott deserves pinkslip for new plan

Got Milk? ChocolateBan is Positive

Chocolate milk ban is nega-tive. We should keep chocolatemilk because kids will NEVER

drink the fat free milk and thenutritional benefits of milk out-weighs the few extra caloriesfrom sugar.

Kids need the protein, calcium,and potassium from milk. Thegovernment should be trying toget rid of white breads fromschools, not milk. For your infor-mation, the reason why more peo-ple are getting overweight isbecause people are less activethen they used to be and are eat-ing to many carbohydrates frombreads.

The solution for childhoodobesity is proper exercise, notbanning chocolate milk.
