“The fact that I don’tknow where I am going toend up scares me the most,”Coburn said while chokingup and pausing to clear histhroat. “It really hit mewhen I realized I was goingto be homeless. I started tocry. I just don’t know what isgoing to happen next.”

director of the Miss UCFpageant, said.
Students who dream ofone day wearing a sashthat reads “Miss Florida”should get started now. Toenter the Miss Floridacompetition, contestantsmust have won a localtitle, such as Miss UCF.Tryouts for the Miss UCFpageant will be held at thebeginning of the fallsemester.
“This is my first year,”Erin O’Flaherty, a juniormolecular and microbiol-ogy major and Miss Flori-da contestant, said. “Istarted because last year Isaw Miss UCF, and I saweverything that she wasdoing in the community,and really looked up tothat.”
Many contestants saidthat they gain a lot morethan a sparkly crown, asash and a scholarshipfrom this competition.
“Winning Miss Floridachanged my life,” RachaelTodd, Miss Florida 2009and a graduate of theinterpersonal communi-cations program at UCF,said. “When you attendhigh-caliber events, andyou walk in and you’ve gotthis banner on you, all ofthe sudden you’re on alevel playing field with alot of executives, CEO’s,mayors and governingofficials. What you learnas Miss Florida is youdon’t have to have thatbanner across your chestto be the same person thatcan be competitive in theworkplace and carry on aconversation with theseindividuals.”
Sara York, senior eventmanagement major andMiss Florida contestant,said she grows a little bitmore with each competi-tion. Constantly forcingherself to step outside of
her comfort zone has ulti-mately made her astronger person.
Women who competedwent through a weeklongprocess that started Mon-day, when they were divid-ed into groups and inter-viewed. Then thepreliminary competitionbegan and contestantscompeted in three areasover the course of twonights, including onstagequestionnaire, lifestyleand fitness and eveninggown. Contestants alsohad to learn an openingand closing dance routine.
From the preliminarycompetition, the 43 con-testants were reduced to 11semi-finalists, three ofwhich were UCF students.
Ziajka said her absolutefavorite part of the MissFlorida competition waswatching the other 42 con-testants perform their tal-ents, as well as being ableto promote her platform,
early childhood literacy.As much as she enjoyedcompeting, one part ofcompetition was particu-larly difficult for her.
“Hands down, it wasswimsuit. I had a very rig-orous workout routine,and I did a no-carb diet,”Ziajka said.
While Ziajka addedthat the regime workedout well for her and thatconstantly working onyour fitness is beneficialfor your health, she wasadmittedly happy to be offher strict pre-pageant diet.
“You don’t even want toknow how much I’veeaten today,” Ziajka said. “Ihad Wendy’s on the wayhome, I just had a huge icecream cone; I’ve been apig today.”
The UCF legacy willcontinue on Jan. 14 whenJanolo heads to Las Vegasto represent the state ofFlorida and compete inthe Miss USA pageant.
“This is our third UCFgirl that has won MissFlorida in a row,” DashaGonzález, senior molecu-lar biology and microbiol-
ogy major and Miss Flori-da contestant, said. “So wehave this saying, ‘Everygreat queen begins as aKnight’.”

and convenience stores arelined with these productspassed off as “potpourri”and “incense.”
The words “Not forhuman consumption,” areprinted distinctly on thefront of the packages ofthese substances, accord-ing to Begeot.
The products are oftendisplayed beside tobaccopipes and rolling papers.
Unlike his previousexperiences with “Spice”or “K2,” Begeot said that“Mr. Nice Guy” (formallyknown as Relaxinol)caused the world to skip abeat, and then he blackedout.
“The whole world wasfake, like it kept repeatingitself over and over. Myuncle came in [the room]and said something to me,but after that I don’tremember anything,”Begeot said. “I woke uparound midnight andrinsed my mouth out, andmy teeth were all broken.”
Begeot’s sordid Relaxi-nol experience happenedin May, and he and hisfriends continue to smokesynthetic blends. Begeotsaid you won’t catchBegeot with another packof Relaxinol, though.
Friend Tylor Strachan,18, said he didn’t feel any ofthe symptoms thatplagued Begeot.
Not all strains of thesynthetic compound pro-duce the same effects.Users have describeddizziness, vomiting andhallucinations. Accordingto regular smokers, how-ever, they experience thesame hungry, happy andsleepy compulsions thatthe real deal produces.
“I have known a fewpeople to die from anunexpected overdose fromusing this crap [Relaxi-nol],” said Jonathan Davis,
a UCF student and clubmember for the NationalOrganization for Reformof Marijuana Laws. “Noone has ever died frommarijuana use — no matterhow potent — but on theother hand, this K2 and‘legal weed’ is killing peo-ple left and right, causingseizures, birth defects, andgod only knows how ittears up the lungs.”
A synthetic alternativeto the THC (tetrahyrdo-cannibinol) found incannabis was originallymanufactured to treat mul-tiple sclerosis andchemotherapy patients.
“Mr. Nice Guy” doesnot have the same chemi-cal compound that the oralspray Sativex and the pillMarinol have, both ofwhich are prescriptiondrugs. However, all threeforms of the drug containthe most basic cannabi-noid needed to procure thecalm feeling that doctorsand smokers, alike, aim for.
The chemical, JWH-018produces similar effects toTHC and is found in bothof these products. It is cur-rently banned from pro-duction and sale in 18states, but Florida legisla-tion has yet to make a deci-sion on the matter.
According to a CBSNews article titled “DEAcracks down on fakeweed,” as long as the pro-hibition of the drug focus-es on a specific strain ofthe chemical, more andmore variations will arise,without actually solvingthe problems the drugsinduce.
Begeot said consumerscan buy the spray online,which is used to make thelocally-bought herbs easi-er to work with. The herbsare laid out on a baking
sheet, soaked with the syn-thetic THC spray andbaked in the oven.
A new chemical, JWH-073, became readily avail-able in Germany in late2009, soon after JWH-018was banned in January ofthe same year.
Strachan has beensmoking for months andnow wonders if his recentstomach pains are relatedto the drug.
“Sometimes I throw upafter I eat. I don’t know ifthat’s what it’s from,though,” Strachan said.
Strachan said his symp-toms started when hebegan smoking Spice on aregular basis.
Fedorah Philippeaux,vice president of CollegeDemocrats at UCF, hasdone a background checkon the history of both thelegal and synthetic ver-sions of the drug.
“I am a pre-med studentand I have writtenresearch papers before onthe effects of marijuanaand its positive effects onsick patients, particularlythose suffering from can-cer and going throughchemotherapy,” Philip-peaux said. “I don’t see itas dangerous from a med-ical standpoint, especiallyin comparison with thesynthetic stuff which hasbeen known to cause rapidheart rates, elevated bloodpressure, anxiety and vom-iting.”
The College Republi-cans at UCF were notavailable for comment.
The dangers of smokingsynthetic mixtures ofherbs contrast with mari-juana’s effects, accordingto the CBS article. Con-sumers are reported toexperience a decrease intheir level of anxiety anddepression when takingthe drug, but some havealso said they have suf-fered severe consequences
within minutes of con-sumption.
“In some cases there
have been hallucinationsand seizures. I don’t knowabout you, but honestly, I’d
rather people smoke thereal stuff instead,” Philip-peaux said.

area.A year later, in 2009, he
earned his GED online andgot a part-time job at aMcDonald’s inside of a Wal-mart. He never applied tocollege, could not afford tobuy a car and only worked afew days out of the week.
When Patricia Coburnnoticed that her son had nodrive to do anything butplay Call of Duty on theXbox, she decided it wastime for him to leave homeand make his own path inlife.
“I was brokenheartedabout the whole thing; thathe messed up enough to getthrown out of here to beginwith,” said Patricia Coburn,in an email, admitting shewas in the midst of crying. “Idid agree that Kraig neededsome tough love, but it wastough on me too.”
According to PatriciaCoburn, just thinking abouther son puts her in a nerv-ous state.
Coburn is not the onlyteenager to become home-less because of economicpressures within the home.The Covenant House Flori-da, one of the largest privateagencies helping runawayand homeless youth under21 in Central Florida, hasrecently seen the numbers
of homeless youth increase.“The number of youth
ages 18-24 that are becominghomeless are significantlyincreasing because of thecurrent economy,” MariaShorkey, Covenant HouseFlorida’s director of com-munity relations, said. “[As]a matter of a fact, thecovenant house of Floridahas a waiting list now. Itranges anywhere from 80 to100.”
Shorkey said the mostprevalent reason why youthin Central Florida arebecoming homeless is fami-ly crisis.
“With this economy,people are struggling finan-cially, which creates conflictin the home, creating moreproblems within the family,”Shorkey said. “Even kidswho are going to college areincreasingly becominghomeless because they donot have the family andfinancial support that theyneed.”
Increasingly becoming aburden to his family,Coburn started the newyear not by throwing con-fetti, but by packing hisbelongings into two plasticstorage containers and leav-ing his mother’s home.
“I’ve been staying withfamily members weeks at atime, but now I’ve run out ofplaces to go,” Coburn said,
almost two months aftermoving out of his mother’shouse.
However, Coburn wasnot yet on the streets and hewas not completely out ofoptions. His next place tostay was the cheap GatorMotel in Kissimmee.
Coburn is one of many in“Generation Y” that is leftwithout a place to callhome. In a research done byRandall S. Hansen, founderof the award-winning Quin-tessential Careers, Genera-tion Y believes work shouldcome to them, not the otherway around.
Hansen said this may bebecause their parents werewilling to give them thingstoo easily.
“I would say I’m a verylaid-back person, but I dohave things that I want to
reach. I want to go to Valen-cia for two years and thenget my nursing degree atUCF,” Coburn said. “I dolike to have fun most of thetime though, whenever Ican.”
Coburn checked into theGator Motel in Kissimmee.He paid $20 a night, drain-ing up the few hundred dol-lars he had saved from flip-ping burgers. He lugged thetwo plastic containers ofwhat had become his lifeinto the small, white motelroom. He sat on the pastel,wishy-washy pattern of theuncomfortable motel bedand watched TV while eat-ing a Stouffer’s frozen din-ner.
He picked up his cellphone, which his motherpays for to be able to stay incontact with him, and calledwho he feels is his onlyfriend, Mike Murphy, acomputer science major atUCF.
“After hearing aboutwhat Kraig had been goingthrough, I decided to let himstay at my house for a little,”Murphy said. “I’ve knownhim since fifth grade. I justfelt that it was the right thingto do.”
But Murphy soon regret-ted his decision to helpCoburn out. Murphy said hewould come home fromschool and Kraig would besitting on the couch, barelydressed in a white under-shirt and khaki shorts fromWalmart, chugging a Cokeand playing Call of Duty.
“So, Kraig, did you talk toyour mom today?” Murphywould ask Coburn.
“Yeah, she didn’tanswer,” Coburn wouldrespond, still focused on the
game.“What about work, did
you call for more hours?”“No, they haven’t given
me any yet.”Murphy, at a loss, lugged
his school bag upstairs andsat at his computer desk.
“I can’t help him, if hedoesn’t want to help him-self,” Murphy said. “It’s noteasy, school and working isnot easy, but at least I’m try-ing. He’s not even trying.”
A week passed. Coburnaccomplished nothing morethan playing an incredibleamount of Call of Duty.Murphy dropped Coburnback off at the peach-col-ored Gator Motel, where hehad picked him up from aweek ago hoping to changehis life.
Murphy sat in the roomwith Coburn as he slowlystarted to throw some of hisbelongings away.
“If I am going to be onmy own, I can’t lug aroundboth plastic containers,”Coburn told Murphy.
He looked at his Lord ofthe Rings DVDs and tossedthem in the small moteltrash can. He laid out hisshirts and, one by one, chosethe ones that he needed themost, while throwing outthe others. He narroweddown his belongings intoone medium-sized, blue,plastic container.
“It was the saddest thingI had ever seen,” Murphysaid. “I felt bad for him, butat the same time Kraig justexpects things to come tohim. Instead of picking upextra shifts at McDonald’she shrugs and says, wellthey haven’t given me anyextra hours.”
In a new Pew Researchstudy, the 50 million youngadults of Generation Y donot cite work ethic as animportant part of their livesat all. Only 5 percent citedwork ethic, the same per-cent that cited clothes.
After a couple nightsalone on the street and a fewmore weeks living with any-one who would let him stay,Coburn was invited back tostay at his mother’s house,but not without conse-quences. Coburn was givena psychological evaluationand diagnosed with atten-
tion deficit hyperactivitydisorder, which PatriciaCoburn said seems to behelping.
“He has made some sig-nificant changes, for the bet-ter. He has a different out-look on things now. He haslearned to manage his anger.He used to snap at me justfor saying his name. Heseems a lot happier,” Patri-cia Coburn said.
Coburn feels like his les-son has been learned and heis willing to keep on tryingto achieve his goals.
Just as Coburn’s livingsituation was getting back tonormal, however, the theplace he called home oneagain changed.
Today, Coburn is livingwith his mother and grand-mother in Maine, afterCoburn and his motheragreed that the solution toliving a happier life togetherwas without Coburn’s step-father.
Coburn says his stepfa-ther was never abusive, butfailed to treat him or her hismother right and was themain source of tension inthe house.
Since moving to Maine,Coburn has enrolled him-self in a few online classes atthe University of Phoenixand has maintained a part-time job at Walmart.
“I’m glad to finally bestarting some college class-es,” Coburn said. “It’s a stepin the right direction.”
Coburn plans on makingMaine his permanent home,eventually buying a houseof his own. He also hopes tohave a family to share it within the future.
“I actually see this as anexcellent change, a chanceto start new. I’ve been kindof bummish lately becauseof just not knowing whereto start, but I’m gettingthere,” Coburn said.
For young people thatfind themselves in a similarsituation, Coburn advisesthat they not be afraid to askfor assistance.
“I am glad I asked forhelp when I did,” Coburnsaid. “Don’t be afraid to askfor help when you need it.That is what has gotten methrough the past fewmonths.”

pus Life and athletics as awhole were the tailgates,”Pombonyo said. “Speakingto directors from previousyears, they said that thetailgates were sometimesshort-staffed and could bea lot on the athletics direc-tor and the director of cam-pus life working them, so Ifigured why not give stu-dents an opportunity to getinvolved with event plan-ning, school spirit andbuilding that tradition.”
Students who becomethe members of Team Tail-gate will have the opportu-nity to help organize anddevelop tailgates, pep ral-lies and other school spirit-oriented events.
According to SGA’swebsite, “bleeding blackand gold is an understate-ment for the members ofTeam Tailgate.”
SGA Vice PresidentAdam Brock said they havenot set a cap on how manypeople will make up thecommittee since it is abrand new initiative. How-ever, he would like to seefreshmen students, espe-
cially, get involved in cam-pus life.
Brock said when he andSGA President MattMcCann were campaign-ing, they knew they wantedto instill some type of tradi-tion within UCF’s tailgates,but having a cabinet of pas-sionate students helpedfigure out the types ofthings they wanted to do.
“Some of these ideas arepure genius,” Brock said. “Ithink this is just one tradi-tion you can expect fromour administration in themany months to come.”
Pombonyo said stu-dents who join Team Tail-gate will have responsibili-ties that include planningevents, setting events upand breaking them downafterward, working withvendors and working withthe sustainability specialistto implement recyclingprojects.
While they’re bothbringing their own ideas tothe table, Pombonyo andBardzell both said they’relooking forward to hearingstudents’ ideas for TeamTailgate.
“They’re really going to
redefine how people lookat different tailgatingevents and how they lookat what it is to be a UCFKnight,” Bardzell said.
Brock is also lookingforward to a fresh perspec-tive on school spirit.
“We have so many otherpeople who we rely on fortailgates, and now we’recreating this separatebrand of students that real-ly goes ahead and delvesinto the life of what it takesto really create a tailgate,”Brock said.
Pombonyo hopes thattailgaters who create theirown setup at Memory Mallwill still visit Team Tail-gate’s setup for free tickets,competitions and otherSGA goodies.
“We really want astrong, dedicated group ofpeople who bleed blackand gold,” Bardzell said. “Ireally feel like they’re goingto give a whole new atmos-phere to tailgates and tradi-tion here at UCF.”
Team Tailgate applica-tions, which can be down-loaded from SGA’s website,are due by 5 p.m. on Friday,July 22.

U.S.WOMEN ADVANCE TOWORLD CUP FINAL
MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany— The United States is in the WorldCup final for the first time since it lastwon the title in 1999, and once again,it was Abby Wambach coming up bigin a 3-1 victory over France.
Wambach broke a tense tie in the79th minute Wednesday with amonstrous header — what else? —off of a Lauren Cheney corner kick.Cheney delivered the ball perfectly tothe far post, and the 5-foot-11forward soared over the scrum andpushed the ball past Frenchgoalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz.Wambach let out a scream and did asliding sprint into the corner, whereshe was mobbed by her teammates.
It was Wambach’s third goal of thetournament and 12th of her career,tying fellow American Michelle Akersfor third on the all-time World Cupscoring list.
Alex Morgan added an insurancegoal in the 82nd, the first for theWorld Cup rookie. When the finalwhistle sounded, the Americansrushed onto the field. Wambach foundU.S. coach Pia Sundhage and gave hera bearhug as the pro-American crowdof 25,676 serenaded the team withchants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!”
“Abby, she’s just the best,”Sundhagesaid. “I’m very happy to have her inour team. Great.”
Despite the loss, the World Cup wasa resounding success for the French,who made their first appearance inthe semifinals and qualified for nextsummer’s London Olympics.
The French didn’t stick around towatch the Americans celebrate —and the party is sure to be even biggerback home. A thrilling win over Brazilin the quarterfinals captivated fansback home, with Hollywood celebs,other pro athletes and folks who’dnever watched a soccer game beforejumping on the U.S. bandwagon.Ellen DeGeneres wished the teamgood luck on Twitter before the game,dozens in the Phoenix airport wereglued to TVs and Super Bowl MVPAaron Rodgers tagged one of hisTweets with“worldcupfinalherewecome.”
Though the Americans are two-timeWorld Cup champions, they haven’tmade the final since Mia Hamm, JulieFoudy and Brandi Chastain won it allin 1999. This American team will nowplay either Japan or Sweden inSunday’s final in Frankfurt.
GOALIE SCORES IN EXHIBITIONSANTA CLARA, Calif. — Rookie
goalkeeper David Bingham scoredfrom more than 90 yards out in hisprofessional debut to help the SanJose Earthquakes beat West BromwichAlbion 2-1 in an exhibition matchTuesday.
Bingham scored after corralling anerrant through pass from West Brom.The 21-year-old goalkeeper steppedup and unleashed a punt from the topof his own penalty box in the thirdminute.
The ball took one large bounce overthe head of new West Bromgoalkeeper Boaz Myhill, who wasstaring directly into a setting sun atBuck Shaw Stadium without thebenefit of a hat, and bounced oncemore before nestling in the open net.
“I couldn’t believe it,”San Josemidfielder Simon Dawkins said. “Ithought the referee had stopped thegame.”
The goal came as a shock most of allto Bingham, who was so angry athimself for overshooting forwardScott Sealy with his punt that hemissed his first goal since high school.
“I didn’t even see it go in,”Binghamsaid. “I hit it and I knew I overhit it, soI just turned around and walked back.And then everyone started yelling. . . .Sometimes it’s good to be lucky.”
It’s the third time an MLSgoalkeeper has scored from his ownhalf of the field in recent years. NewYork’s Danny Cepero scored fromroughly 80 yards on a free kick againstColumbus during a 2008 leaguematch, and Houston’s Tally Hall drovea kick off the ground from 80 yardsstraight into the net against Metapanin CONCACAF Champions League playin 2009.

OH, CANADA!
KATIE DEES / CENTRAL FLORIDA FUTURE
The Knights men’s basketball team, shown before a game, willtravel to Canada to practice and hone in on new skills.
CFF ARCHIVE
This summer, the UCF men’s basketball teamwill be taking their talents north.
North of the border, to be precise.Head coach Donnie Jones, who is
entering his second year with the pro-gram, will get to run some practicesand coach some games a bit earlier
than usual this year, as theKnights will be taking an exhibition
tour in Montreal, running Aug. 10through Aug. 14.
The tour will feature three gamesagainst Canadian college teams over the
course of the four-day trip. Ten days of practicewith the coaching staff will be allowed beforethe trip, which is important for a team wel-coming in three incoming freshmen andthree transfers.
“I think this trip is huge for our pro-gram. We can add in the new facesand the ones back, and now it givesus a chance in the summertime tobond and have 10 days to practice,” Jonessaid in a release. “Especially to our newkids, it’s a huge advantage to go to Canada andgo play against [three] different opponents.”
Normally, with NCAA rules, the Knightswould only be able to workout and play pick-upgames at the practice facility on their own overthe summer, which they are currently doing.
Teams do not get to practice and inter-act with the coaching staff until
much closer to the season. However,the NCAA allows for teams totake a foreign exhibition tripevery four years, as well as
limited practice time before-hand to prepare.
The last time UCF took such a tripwas in 2005, when the program visitedBelgium, Holland and France.
With the influx of new faces, the tripcould not have come at a better time for aprogram that saw glimmers of biggerthings to come last season, and the playersare excited.
“I feel like it’s great because I haven’t playedin a year, and it gives me a chance to get my lit-tle jitters and a couple of the kinks out,” forwardTristan Spurlock, who spent last season onthe scout team after transferring, said.“I’ve never been to Canada, so I’m excit-ed.”
Point guard A.J. Rompza, who hasbeen a leader on the team and a fanfavorite, is entering his senior year andsaid he recognizes the value of the trip as hishis final season approaches.
“I think it’s huge just to be able to get thosepractices under our belt,” Rompza said. “Obvi-ously [the transfers] learned some of the system

last year, but it’s differentfrom going over it to actu-ally being in it now.”
The returning playersalso said they are excitedto get a chance to playwith the freshmen. TheKnights recruiting classthis off-season is widelyregarded as the best in theprogram’s history.Recruits Rod Days, WayneMartin and Kasey Wilson
have all enrolled and start-ed working out at theteam’s practice facilities.
UCF’s most heraldedrecruit of the class,ESPNU Top 100 centerMichael Chandler, has stillnot fully qualified aca-demically for the fall andis actively working onimproving his grades inorder to join the programand enroll when the fallsemester begins.
“For the freshmen, they
haven’t really seen [play atthe college level] yet,”Spurlock said. “That’sgreat for them to be ableto get in the fire early.”
Jones, in a release, saidhe will approach thegames the same way hewould in-season, watch-ing film and preparing likenormal. He said he looksforward to using playersin different spots and see-ing how they respond andhopes the trip will lead to
a team that will “hit theground running” whenthe actual preseasonbegins.
“I think it will be goodfor team chemistry andwhat not,” Rompza said.“That’s always the mostimportant thing in win-ning, is not so much thetalent, of course you needit, but to me it’s really thechemistry you bring offthe court that leads to on-the-court success.”

DaMarcus Smith is allsmiles.
His smile beams whenhe talks about his newschool, UCF, and his newteammates and coaches.His smile grew even biggerwhen his mom called himto see check up on his newlife in Orlando.
A few months ago, how-ever, Smith wasn’t sohappy.
The Elite 11 quarterbackhad difficulty deciding onwhether to choose hishometown school, the Uni-versity of Louisville, orUCF, to play football. Aftersigning with UCF, Smith’smother, Daytonya Ward,called Knights head coachGeorge O’Leary asking fora release of the signedNational Letter of Intent.Smith ultimately decidedto follow through with thesigned NLOI and arrived atUCF in June.
Clad in a UCF shirt andthe same black UCF hatthat he wore while spurn-ing his hometown ofLouisville, Ky., when hechose to sign with UCF,Smith sat down with theCentral Florida Future totalk about his experiencesso far in Orlando and whathe’s looking forward to themost with the Knights.
CCeennttrraall FFlloorriiddaa FFuuttuurree::Are you happy that every-thing is finally settled downnow and you finally get toplay football?
DDaaMMaarrccuuss SSmmiitthh:: Yeah,I’m very excited. It’s been arough six months, but itwas all worth it in the end.I’ve really learned through-out this whole process. Imade the right decision.I’m here now and I’m goingto stick with it and see whatthese next four years bringfor me.
CCFFFF:: What stood out toyou about UCF that ulti-mately made you decide tocome here?
SSmmiitthh:: There’s a lot Ican say. Really, the firstthing that stood out wasthe academics. I remem-ber throughout my wholeofficial visit they showedus a lot of the academicsights and gave me a lot offacts about the school. Justknowing that UCF is oneof the top schools as far asacademics that reallystood out to me. Coach[George] O’Leary, one ofthe main things he stress-es, is to go to school forfour years and get adegree. That really stoodout to me.
CCFFFF:: Coach [David]Kelly mainly recruited you.What stood out to youabout him?
SSmmiitthh:: He’s unique withhis recruiting. He’s really apeople-person. I could real-ly trust his words; every-thing so far that he has said,it’s really happening. I’vebeen practicing with theteam a lot. A lot of peoplethink that coaches are onlynice to you when they’rerecruiting you and thenthings change when youget there, but he’s reallybeen the same guy that I’vemet from day one. My rela-tionship with him hasgrown more and moreevery time I spend timewith him. Another thingthat stood out about himwas his beliefs. I’m a Chris-tian and he’s a Christiantoo, and that really stoodout to me. I didn’t have arecruiter who shared mysame beliefs.
CCFFFF:: I know you’re stillkind of new to the area, butwhat has been your favoritething about the UCF areaso far?
SSmmiitthh:: I love the cam-pus. I’ve never seen some-thing like this. Being fromLouisville, we have a prettygood university. It’s onlylike 20,000 people. But justbeing here at the big cam-pus, seeing all the people,it’s like a whole ‘notherworld for a guy like mecoming from Louisville.Your eyes really open upwhen you move from asmaller city to a bigger city.
CCFFFF:: What have beensome of the biggest adjust-ments for you coming fromhigh school to college?
SSmmiitthh:: Well first, thebiggest adjustment hasbeen time management.Once you get in college, itreally becomes like a busi-ness, like a job to you. It’snot like you just come topractice and lift weightswhenever you want. Every-thing has a structure andtime-frame; just gettingused to that.
CCFFFF:: In terms of foot-ball, what’s the biggest dif-ference?
SSmmiitthh:: It’s a lot faster.Everyone’s a lot bigger,stronger, faster. Everyone’sathletic; everyone’s good.The way it’s set up, every-one is going to get betterbecause everyone is eitherjust as good as you or evenbetter than you.
CCFFFF:: What do you thinkof the athletic facilities?
SSmmiitthh:: Well my weightcoach isn’t going to like this,
but I don’t like the weightroom right now (laughs).It’s intense! But, it’s defi-nitely going to prepare usand prepare me for whenthe season starts. Myfavorite place is the indoorfacility. That’s where Ispend a lot of time, throw-ing with my receivers andreally working out andworking on my craft as aquarterback.
CCFFFF:: Who are thereceivers that you practicethe most with?
SSmmiitthh:: As of right now, Ipractice a lot with RannellHall and Jacques Mackeroy.Those are my two fresh-men receivers. We spend alot of time, especially today,and just on a Mondaythrough Friday basis wework out a lot and throw alot.
CCFFFF:: What’s this I hearabout your cousin possiblycoming here?
SSmmiitthh:: Yes, MichaelFluellen. He’s taking a classat Valenica [CommunityCollege] and will hopefullybe enrolling in January of2012; kind of like agreyshirt.
CCFFFF:: Do you know whoyour roommates are yet?
SSmmiitthh:: I’m not in thetowers yet, but I’m hopingthat it’s going to be my tworeceivers, Rannell andJacques. I’ve built a prettytight relationship withthose guys.
CCFFFF:: How’s your rela-tionship with Jeff Godfreyand Blake Bortles?
SSmmiitthh:: Jeff Godfrey islike a big brother to me.He’s really showing me theropes. He’s taken me underhis wing and I’m learning alot from him. I’ve been asponge. I’m just looking upto him like a big brother.He’s doing a great job atleading. And Blake Bortles,I actually met him mysophomore year of highschool. We competed at acamp together so me andhim kind of clicked back upwhen I got here. We’re ongood terms. I love the teamcamaraderie, and I lovehow the quarterbacks allstick together.
CCFFFF:: Do you knowwhat’s going to happen, asfar as being redshirted?
SSmmiitthh:: You know, I’mjust a team player, and I’mwilling to do whatever Ihave to do to play. Ofcourse I’m gonna go outand compete, me being afootball player. I under-stand that this is a businessand that coach is going to
make the best decision forthe team and for me. Aftercamp and close to the startof season, that’s when we’llreally know.
CCFFFF:: What are some ofyour goals going into falland practice?
SSmmiitthh:: I just want to bethe best player that I canpossibly be. With me beinga people-person, I reallywant to be a good team-mate and I’m looking for-ward to all of my relation-ships with my teammates.It’s a new beginning, a newstart for me with new peo-ple. I definitely want to getthat together and make thata go. After that, it’s winning.I wanna win a BCS champi-onship, win bowl games,win Conference USA. I’mlooking forward to a suc-cessful season.
CCFFFF:: Besides football,what is your biggest hobby?
SSmmiitthh:: I love playingminiature golf and golf. Ihaven’t played a round ofgolf here yet, but I playedminiature golf over atCongo River. That was fun,but it was pretty easy. I’mgoing to be bringing my setof golf clubs back downwith me so I can play.
CCFFFF:: Can you drivepretty far?
SSmmiitthh:: Oh yeah, I can hitclose to 400.
CCFFFF:: But how far canyou throw it though?
SSmmiitthh:: I can throw it!I’ve been spotted at 82yards, first bounce.
CCFFFF:: Have you pickedup the new NCAA videogame yet?
SSmmiitthh:: All my boys aretalking about it, but I don’teven think I want to pick itup because my speed israted a 66, which is really
low. They also made me num-ber 13, but I’m really going tobe wearing number 10.
CCFFFF:: Wasn’t Nico Floreswearing number 10 last year?Did you make a deal with himor something?
SSmmiitthh:: I’m not gonna say[whether I took it from him ornot], but O’Leary made me apromise! He said if I comeback to Orlando, I’ll be wear-ing number 10. He’s a man ofhis word. I’ve worn number10 my whole life. The firstteam I’ve ever played for inLouisville was called the 10th
Street Cardinals. I’m obsessedwith it.
CCFFFF:: How has it beenmemorizing all those newplays?
SSmmiitthh:: It’s definitely chal-lenging to memorize theplays. I wouldn’t say it’s hard,because when it’s somethingyou’ve been doing yourwhole life you catch on prettyquickly. It’s what I’m used to.I’m used to facing adversity.This freshman year, I knowit’s gonna be tough. But thingswill start falling into placeeventually.

espite all the talk ofcutting entitlements,one program remains
particularly popular amongAmericans.
Many Americans agreethat Medicaid makes a big dif-ference in people’s lives,according to a new study citedby National Public Radio.According to the study,researchers have found thatcompared to those with noinsurance, those with Medic-aid used health care moreoften and had better access toit. They were also less likely toexperience problems withunpaid medical bills and morelikely to report being in goodhealth.
These findings stand instark contrast to the criticismfrom Republicans, who saythat this program badlyserves its target population,according to NPR. Althoughthe program may not be per-fect, it presents a viable alter-native to many uninsuredpeople.
Amy Finkelstein, an MITeconomist and one of thestudy’s authors, finds that theodds of having received out-patient care go up for thosewith Medicaid compared tothose who are uninsured andpaying cash, according toNPR.
“We see that the chancethat you’ve gotten any outpa-tient care increases by 35 per-cent if you have Medicaid,relative to if you have none,”she said. “The chances thatthey report having a regularoffice or clinic for their pri-
mary care increases by 70percent. And the likelihoodthat they report having a par-ticular doctor that they usual-ly see increases by 55 per-cent.”
These numbers clearlyshow that Medicaid is a pro-gram that is worth protecting.
The program provides sig-nificant benefits for seniors,low-income families and dis-abled people, to name a few.
One woman, Lucy Peck,recently wrote a column forNPR in which she describedhow Medicaid was able tohelp her pay for the cost ofhaving her baby. In the col-umn, she said she filled outan application online andreceived a letter within aweek telling her what docu-mentation she needed tosend in. Through Medicaid’splan for pregnant women,she was ultimately covereduntil the end of the monththat her baby was born, andher baby was covered for thefirst year of his life. Peck saidthat without Medicaid, shewould not have been able tostart her family.
Governor Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has complained that“Medicare costs are gettingout of control,” according toNPR. Former governor ErnieFletcher (R-Ky.) has said thatMedicaid consumes about 22percent of state budgets.Once federal contributionsare subtracted, though, thatnumber drops to about 12percent, according to Ben-jamin Sommers, an assistantprofessor of health policy and
economics at the HarvardSchool of Public Health.
Once federal contribu-tions to Medicaid are fac-tored in, spending for Medic-aid falls to No. 2 or 3 in statebudgets, behind K-12 andhigher education, accordingto NPR.
Twelve percent of statebudgets seems like a reason-able amount to spend inorder to be able to help outpeople like Peck and otherswho could not otherwiseafford insurance. New rev-enues will have to be put intoplace in order to preservethis program. Implementingcuts to this program andMedicare over the next 10years would only shift thecost of medicine to publichospitals, states and individu-als, according to the WallStreet Journal. This would donothing to tackle health carecosts themselves, which arecontinuing to rise and are along-term driver of ournational debt.
Medicaid is a programthat is one of the hallmarks ofprogressive government.Many Americans rely on theprogram for health insurance,and any cuts in this programcould be very painful for peo-ple who are currently unem-ployed or underemployed.Republicans and Democratsshould be focusing onincreasing revenues for thisprogram and seeking effi-ciencies, rather than propos-ing cuts. The American peo-ple will end up feeling thepain if they do not act.

Bloody acts of socialviolence and billows oftear gas have yet to mani-fest in America’s streetssince the financial crisis,but the growing disparitybetween the plutocracyand the lower middleclass in the United Statescould trigger the type ofturmoil seen in otherWestern countries.
Amid a supposed eco-nomic recovery, we arereally seeing just the opposite.Unemployment, inflation, cuts inwelfare and rising food and health-care costs are more than mere thornsin the sides of D.C. politicians.
James Carville told Fox Businesslast month that civil unrest in thiscountry is “imminently possible” ifthe financial crisis does not end.Notably, Carville isn’t nearly the mostinfluential voice admitting Americansociety could be in for upheaval.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, formerNational Security Advisor, discussedthe issue of class disparity onMSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednes-day, July 6.
“I think we’re going to slide intointensified social conflicts, social hos-tility, some forms of radicalism,”Brzezinski said. “There is just goingto be a sense that this is not a justsociety. This is not a society ofopportunity, but a society of discrimi-nation.”
So, what created this society ofdiscrimination? Who should the dis-paraged blame for their plight andpoverty?
The turmoil seen in advancednations, struggling to recover fromeconomic collapse, is primarilyaroused by the shift of control fromordinary individuals to an organized,small population of big-time capital-ists who use immense wealth to con-trol the systems that govern societies.
A key problem is that citizens indemocratized nations have lost rep-resentation in dealing with monetarypolicies. Because their political voiceis oppressed, the people of near-default countries like Greece andSpain are uprising, demanding theirgovernments listen before acceptingmore loans from the central bankingsystem.
Greece now faces austerity meas-ures, legislated so the country couldaccept another bailout from foreignlenders, the International MonetaryFund, the European Union and theEuropean Central Bank.
These austerity measures include“cuts in spending on health anddefense, tax increases on heating oiland the self-employed, and reduc-tions in the number of publicemployees,” according to the New
York Times.And in what essentially
amounts to a fire sale ofthe nation’s infrastructure,about $70 billion inGreece’s state assets willbe privatized. Even worse,none of these measuresguarantee that Greece willescape default in the longrun.
Like Greece, the U.S. isswamped with debt and isagain on the verge of cred-
it default. The IMF and the U.S. Trea-sury are increasing pressure on Con-gress to raise the debt ceiling,according to reports by BBC Newsand Reuters, respectively.
Feigned efforts at recovery like theObama administration’s “stimulus”package did nothing to put Ameri-cans back to work and insteadworked to stimulate the national debtby over $4 trillion since the presidenttook office.
A recent report issued by theWhite House’s Council of EconomicAdvisors, cited in The Weekly Stan-dard, admitted the stimulus packagecost taxpayers an astounding$278,000 per job saved or added.
Politicians continue to embracepolicies that actually increase unem-ployment and devalue our currency,while austerity measures like those inGreece are placed on the backs ofAmerican citizens. Obama is nowwilling to cut Social Security andMedicare entitlements in exchangefor Republican support to raise taxes,according the Washington Post.
Moreover, megabanks that werehanded billions of taxpayer dollars tocover their “troubled assets” in 2008are now seizing opportunities on“distressed assets,” privatizing every-thing from water treatment plants toschools to toll roads.
As reported by MSNBC’s DylanRatigan, Goldman Sachs is interestedin the “ownership and operation ofpublic services, such as airports, tollroads and shipping ports, as well aspower generation facilities, physicalcommodities and other commoditiesinfrastructure components, bothwithin and outside the UnitedStates.”
While multinational banks aregobbling up our roads and bridges, aNew York Times/CBS News poll findsthat 39 percent of Americans believe“the current economic downturn ispart of a long-term permanentdecline, and the economy will neverfully recover.”
As the American standard of liv-ing continues its decline and theAmerican dream begins to crumblein the hands of the nation’s youth,social unrest and violence may bemore of a matter of when, not if.

AUSTIN CASTLEGuest Columnist
Experts in education like tostress the need for longerschool years in the UnitedStates. According to the NewYork Times, however, there’s atrend in the opposite direc-tion.
The Times reports thatschools have been forced toremove summer programs,implement four-day schoolweeks and cut days off theschool year in reaction tobudget cuts — as if educationrates in the U.S. were not weak enough.
The Huffington Post reports that theU.S. ranks “average” in internationaleducational rankings. Specifically, out of34 nations, the U.S. ranks 14th for read-ing skills, 17th for science and 25th formathematics. We consider this countrythe greatest nation on earth – yet werank “average” in these international rat-ings.
The solution? — Apparently torepeatedly cut education and shortenschool days.
The case here in Florida is equallydismal. According to the West OrlandoNews Online, our Republican-led legisla-ture cut more than $1 billion from educa-tion in this year’s budget. This amountsto a drop of almost 8 percent in educa-tion funding, which comes out to $542per student.
The cuts have affected Florida’s 67school districts in varying ways. Fortu-nately, Orange County passed a localproperty tax to bolster school funding.Other counties have not fared so well.According to the West Orlando NewsOnline, Broward County let 1,400 teach-ers go, and Duval County has beenforced to eliminate some sports pro-grams. Miami-Dade County has slashedthe salaries of 400 top administrators,principals and assistant principals. Mari-on County is considering four-dayschool weeks.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise thatthe Florida Current reports Florida’sgraduation rate ranks 44th in the nation.What’s even more shocking is that withthese cuts, the Florida government stillexpects high standardized test scoresfrom students and increases in teaching
quality among educators. Infact, the first bill Gov. RickScott signed into law was ateacher merit pay bill. The billfaced much opposition amongteachers and their statewideunion, the Florida EducationAssociation.
Now, I, like every other stu-dent have had horrible teach-ers — teachers that do notdeserve that title, nor theirpay. However, I have also hadincredible teachers that
deserve all of the recognition and moneyin the world. I agree we need some typeof merit pay system, but it cannot be tieddirectly to standardized test scores, andit cannot be implemented while theFlorida legislature is simultaneously cut-ting education funding. How can theyexpect teachers to reach these standardswhile also cutting their resources?
We live in a state with great budgetshortfalls, but I feel that Scott and thelegislature are balancing the budget onthe backs of students. Politicians alwaysspeak about the importance of creating abetter America than the one they inher-ited. A press release by Scott mentionsthe “burden that our national debt ispassing to future generations.” If thegovernor believes this, why is he deny-ing future generations the educationaltools required to overcome this burden?
In my mind, education is the coresolution to all of this nation’s problems.It is the primary means of children fromlow socioeconomic backgrounds toovercome inherit inequalities, the sourceof our civil society and a home for inno-vation and imagination. It pains me tosee this valuable resource taken awayfrom future generations.
Schools should not be created to gen-erate a profit; they are not businesses.They are an investment in this nation’shuman capital. Properly funded schoolsensure that future generations will keepmoving forward, and find opportunitiesin future challenges.
Balancing the budget is important,but cutting education funds and the daysstudents are in school are short-termsolutions that will lead to irreversibledamage and a generation lost.
Don’t expect high scorefrom cuts to education
