Music continued from page 5 genres, available even for some of the slowest connection speeds. Then there is album — tape, minidisc, CD, etc. — trading. With the Internet’s worldwide appeal and nearly universal accessibility, music fans can find the best trading re sources and the widest selection. Usenet newsgroups are another good resource for finding under ground exchanges and artist infor mation. There are Usenet programs for nearly every type of computer and platform, but a good Web-based option is “Google Groups” at groups .google. com. All of these places can be ac cessed through a Web browser. However, a whole new generation of peer-to-peer software clients similar to Napster have come to fruition since the company’s legal downfall. The “Kazaa” and “Grokster” programs even improve on what Napster offered by allow ing users to exchange files in any format they desire — not just MP3. There are also alternatives such as the “Gnutella” system of pro grams; two prevalent clients are “BearShare” and “LimeWire.” Have you ever wanted to know what a “magnolia root borer” sounds like? Visit the “Reference Library of Digitized Insect Sounds” Web site at http://cmave.usda.ufl.edu/~rmankin/ soundlibrary.html to hear this, and dozens of other insects.

And while he lives for the game and towers above most on the team, Helquist said sunny blue skies, close friends and his mother’s lasagna are the things that make his heart smile. “I love the sun and the surf,” he said, reminiscing about his Florida upbringing. “It’s relaxing.” Bom and raised in Jacksonville, Fla., Helquist attended University Christian High School before he start ed his college career at Louisiana State University on athletic scholarship. Af ter a year at LSU, Helquist transferred to Florida Community College in Jacksonville for two years before ar riving at the University in fall 2001. As a psychology major, 23-year-old Helquist said he has always been inter ested in why people behave in certain ways. Working hard to finish his 400 level course requirements, Helquist said his favorite class winter term has been sign language, which does not surprise his mother, Ann, in the least. “He’s interested in any situation where people are overcoming chal lenges,” she said. Ann, an art teacher at a Christian school, and her husband, Steve, an un employment insurance specialist, cur rently reside in Jacksonville and miss their son most around the holidays. Raised in a religious home, Helquist— an Episcopalian — said Christmas is his favorite holiday because he is able to celebrate with his three brothers and six nieces and nephews. Helquist did not see his family be tween September 2001 and June 2002. Assuming his second year at the University would be the same, his family held a Christmas/Thanks giving party for him before he left for school in September 2002. “It’s pretty difficult for us when he is away for so long,” Ann said. In his younger years, Helquist went with the flow and stood on his own two feet, she said. Having been very socia ble since birth, Helquist still stands tall — at six feet nine inches — and re mains easy-going, she added. Close friend Rob Simmons sees that side of Helquist on a regular basis. “We hang out every single day,” the 26-year-old said. Simmons met Helquist through a mutual friend a year ago and has con sidered him a good buddy ever since. When they are not at Taylor’s kicking back with a brew or being couch pota toes and playing Grand Theft Auto, Simmons said Helquist is all about the team and does not always have time to enjoy the game with friends. “We don’t really hoop when he’s in season,” he said. “We just kick it every night on the daily. ” Looking forward to a lifelong ca maraderie, Simmons said Helquist brings genuine, kind-hearted ener gy to the friendship. “It doesn’t really matter who I hang out with as long as they are honest, good-hearted people,” Helquist said. “That’s all that matters.” After studying at the college level for five years, Helquist said he’s eager to graduate in June and added that he hopes to play at “the next level” one day. “I’m ready to move on,” Helquist said. He’s nobody’s baby now. Contact the reporter ‘ at caronalarab@dailyemerald.com.
