President Barrack Obama announced an initiative to train an additional 10,000 engineers to boost competitiveness in innovation during a speech in Durham on Monday. According to the president, a strong economy depends on innovation and manufacturing stateside. “Breakthroughs…have the potential to create new jobs in other sectors of the economy as well,” Obama said while discussing the chain effect of engineering new technologies. These breakthrough require extensive research and development and the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, led by Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and CEOs of major corporations, met on Centennial Campus that morning to discuss the nations future in meeting its engineering needs. “The job council is all about what we can do immediately to stimulate employment—to get more people back to work,” Chancellor Woodson said after the round-table conference. “The administration came here because they wanted to see the FREEDM Center, which is a center focused on power distribution, but there are a lot of small companies in the Triangle that are involved in this part of creation of new jobs.” According to N.C. Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, the morning conference was a way to bring the spotlight to the state’s advancements in technology

and engineering. The president started his tour on jobs and competitiveness in January and during his stop at LED technology company Cree, Inc., Obama said STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—are the jobs of the future. “These are the jobs that China and India are cranking out,” Obama said. “Those students are hungry because they understand if they get those skills they can find a good job, they can create companies, they can create

businesses, create wealth.” Lawrence Jacobson, executive director of the National Society of Professional Engineers, said issue for the U.S. is not meeting the new expectation per se, but putting are greater emphasis on STEM training and education. “The number 10,000 is arbitrary,” Jacobson said. “We’re going to need a lot more than that. I totally agree, we need more engineers and more innovation. The country has really needs this not to just compete, but to also

replace the baby-boomer population.” According to Jacobson, the current recession has kept a majority of older, more experienced engineers from retiring. “What’s happened is the engineers working in all kinds of industry, the big bulk of them are all baby boomers and they are due to retire over a period of 5 to 6 years and most of those guys were some

Forbes.com ranked the following cities the least toxic cities in America based on 2009 data. The following are the water quality rankings for the top 10 least toxic cities.

Forbes.com has declared Raleigh the third “cleanest” city in the U.S. in their recently published list of the country’s environmentally clean cities. The list includes cities deemed the least toxic—based on five equally weighted measures of pollution and toxicit y— out of the 80 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). According to The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), toxic substances are defined as “chemicals or compounds that may present an unreasonable threat to human health and the environment.” Forbes measurements, from 2009, included water quality ranking, Air Quality Index (AQI)-which monitors the number of days air quality rose above 100 on an EPA index (the EPA deems a score of 150 to be unhealthy for everyone exposed) —and Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), which gives the number of pounds of toxic substances produced, managed and disposed by facilities each year. Forbes a lso accounted for Superfund sites, which the EPA defines as “uncontrolled or abandoned places where hazardous waste is located, possibly affecting local ecosystems or people.” Superfund sites include landfills, dumping grounds for chemicals and pesticides, and

contaminated wells. One such site in Raleigh is a lot owned by N.C. State near Carter-Finley Stadium, where, from 1969 to 1980, the University disposed of solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, acids and some low-level radioactive laboratory wastes, according to the EPA. A clean-up plan was issued in 1996 and soil remediation, or correction, was completed in October 1999. Construction of the ground water remedy was completed in September 2006. Ground water treatment is ongoing, and the treated ground water is being sampled on a monthly basis. There are several organizations on campus dedicated to helping Raleigh stay at the top of the list. A few include the Inter-Residence Council Sustainability Committee, the Wolfpack Environmental Student Association (WESA) and the Campus Environmental Sustainability Team (CEST). In addition to sustainability rese a rch, orga n izations like the sustainability team have been involved in initiatives like creek restorations, tree restorations and storm water systems engineering. N.C. State’s Student Senate also passed the Campus Sustainability Continuous Improvement Act in 2008, which outlined an action plan with various ways in which the University would make an effort to be greener and cleaner. The plan pushed adoption of energy-efficient appliances, use of electricity from renewable sources, further waste reduction and recycling initiatives and encouraged use of and access to public transportation for all faculty, students and visitors. One major concern for sustainability team is the University’s energy

consumption. According to N.C. State’s Office of Sustainability, the University is the second largest consumer of energy in buildings in the state—a problem exacerbated by the increasing student enrollment. In response to the State Energy Plan, N.C. State established a commitment in 2008 to reduce the annual energy consumption per square foot by at least four percent over a 10-year period. The Wolfpack Environmental Student Association—a student organization—has similar goals, including “promoting campus environmental awareness and environmental protection, forming net works w it h t heme s related to the environment and natural resources within N .C . S t a t e ’s c ol le ge s a nd engaging with other universities endeavors to manage environmental a nd natura l resources,” according to its website. WESA’s Co-Presidents Sonum Nerurka, senior in environmental technology, and Katie McKnight have both won the annual “Think Outside the Brick Competition” and implemented sustainable projects on campus. Nerurka is building a solar gazebo on campus and McKnight completed the Students For Organic United Living (SOUL) Garden, located on Centennial Campus. In Forbes’ report, the two cities that beat out North Carolina’s capital were Little Rock, Arkansas at number two, and McAllen, Texas, the “cleanest” city in the U.S.

One major concern for sustainability team is the University’s energy consumption.

North Carolina Republicans prevailed Wednesday as they overrode the governor’s veto of the state budget. The House and Senate, both GOPcontrolled for the first time in a century, each voted to bypass Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s budget she says cuts too much from education and other public services. According to the governor’s office, Perdue’s proposed budget would have invested approximately $561 million more in public education than the newly approved budget — $236.1 million more in public universities, $68.9 million in community colleges and $256.7 million in K-12. Republican leaders claimed the governor’s office is not being honest in its assessment of budget differences. “Despite the governor’s frantic media campaign, apocalyptic rhetoric, and creative accounting, the facts are clear: our $19.7 billion budget will do more for public classrooms and help the economy create more jobs than her own proposal,” said Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger in a statement after the Senate voted to override the budget. Perdue was the first governor in North Carolina’s history to veto a budget. Berger saw political motive in her move. “On this historic day, the will of the voters and the representatives they elected prevailed over the governor’s desperate attempts to defend the status quo and appease her liberal political allies,” Berger said in a statement. The Senate’s vote of approval was the last step before the budget, called House Bill 200, becomes law. It will take effect July 1. The year-long process of creating, revising, and approving the budget will then repeat itself. Although Perdue no longer has a say in the budget process, the governor said in a statement that Republicans have dealt a severe blow to the state’s education system. “Tonight, the Republican-controlled legislature turned its back on North Carolina’s long-standing commitment to our people to provide quality schools, community colleges and universities — all to save a penny,” Perdue said. Perdue vowed to defend education. “Tonight they may have cut our prek programs and turned our education system backwards. But tomorrow, the citizens of North Carolina and I will resume the fight for what we believe in — that education must be the one priority we never turn our backs on,” Perdue said. Student Body President Chandler Thompson has spent time at the legislature speaking with representatives. Along with UNC-Chapel Hill SBP Mary Cooper, they have been communicating student views, concerns and opinions. “We tried to tell them how important education and financial aid is to our students,” Thompson said. Chancellor Randy Woodson, UNC System President Tom Ross and the Board of Governors have stated they will not suggest an increase in tuition, according to Thompson. She said the chancellor’s realignment plan placed the University ahead of the curve. “N.C. State has been doing a good job preparing because we knew cuts were going to happen,” Thompson said. With the budget set to become law, Thompson is organizing a group of 50 N.C. State students with the goal of maintaining a presence at the legislature during the fall.

Good-bye to Witherspoon, hello to Harrelson for SG Student body presidents of the past and present reflect on Student Government’s move to Harrelson. Laura Wilkinson Editor in Chief With Student Government settling into their new temporary home in Harrelson Hall, present and past Student Body Presidents weighed in about their former home and the memories sealed within its walls. For Jim Ceresnak, 2009-2010 SBP, the Witherspoon Student Center office was a center of action and a base of operations for everything from important debates to discussions between the main office and the senate chambers. “So many important moments have happened [in Witherspoon] — it has shaped what Student Government has done; and then, in turn, things that have affected the student body,” Ceresnak said. “I have great memories of that office -- really intense moments happened there, but also a lot of laughs, a lot of great people.” While the current student population experiences changes to Talley, Ceresnak reflected on the initial renovation decisions. “During my year we dealt with Talley, which was crazy for many months. Those critical decisions about Talley were made in that office,” Ceresnak said. “There were just critical moments, moments that had a large effect on what happened on campus. I can’t tell you how many times I was there at two or three in the morning, working on one issue or another, answering emails.” Ceresnak said the move to Harrelson is bittersweet, but he also saw a silver lining in the move. “Anyone who spent a lot of time in that office will miss it. But at the same time, I think it was really a challenge in that office to engage as well with other student groups and with the student body,” Ceresnak said. Being close to other large student organizations on campus and being in the heart of student activity is what Ceresnak said makes the move worth it. Jay Dawkins, 2008-2009 SBP, echoed his thought. “The Brickyard is so packed, and one thing we learned was if you want to have a good event, you don’t try to make the students go to you... you go to where the students are,” Dawkins said. “In my mind, Student Government is going where the students are. And that will be Talley; but in the meantime, that’s the Brickyard and the library, and they’re going to be right there.” Dawkins said the neat thing about the Witherspoon office was that it had been Student Gov-

ernment’s office for so long. “You have all these different elements of people’s stuff that’s still hanging around,” Dawkins said. “There’s a lot of sentimental value stored up in those walls; it’s going to be tough for the Student Government crowd and Chandler [Thompson] to keep that sense of history in the middle of Harrelson, but it will work out some way.” Current Student Body President Chandler Thompson said Student Government was notified last week that they were moving a month earlier than planned. “It’s been stressful. We have to get rid of stuff we don’t need and figure out how we’re going to use the space [in Harrelson],” Thompson said. “We’re going to be way more spread out in Harrelson. It’s definitely a big change; you can tell it’s a temporary thing.” Dawkins’ had some final words for his former home away from home. “Goodbye old friend, you’ve played host to so many of our moments of desperation, exhilaration, sleeplessness and just the trials and tribulations of leadership over the years. It’s been good to us,” Dawkins said. “It’s all about the leaders that occupy that office, not the office itself that defines Student Government. They’ll be fine.”

5,000 people converged on Hillsborough Street and surrounding areas Saturday, June 11 for the Komen N.C. Triangle Race for the Cure, an event raising money for the fight against breast cancer. People from all over the state participated in activities such as the survivor breakfast, several 5Ks, survivor photo, one-mile fun run/walk, kids dash and survivor tribute. The largest 5K in North Carolina, the race not only raises money, but it also gives survivors, and family and friends of those who have not survived their fight with breast cancer, a chance to tell their story about the impact of breast cancer on their lives. Since it was the 15th annual Triangle Race for the Cure, event coordinators encouraged all participants to raise at least $300 by asking 15 friends or family members for a donation of $20. Almost $1.8 million has been raised so far, and people can still donate until July 11 to help the organization reach their goal of $2 million.

Participants made their way down the street headed downtown going as far as Gardner Street. A majority of the race took place on streets behind Hillsborough Street. Right: Children 12 years old and under at the event had their own race to participate in.

{OUR VIEW}

THE FACTS:

Monday, June 13, President Obama announced an initiative to train an additional 10,000 students in engineering, a measure to increase competition in the global economy.

OUR OPINION:

The University should take advantage of Obama’s initiative and seek revenue from private sectors to strengthen our engineering programs and provide more opportunities for engineering graduates.

Seek private-sector funding P resident Barack Obama is promoting the training of 10,000 new American engineers per year to increase competition within the engineering job market and enhance the American position over international competitors. In order to meet Obama’s initiative, the University should seek funding from private beneficiaries to expand our engineering school. The current demand for engineers is steadily increasing worldwide. As a result, the number of graduating engineers will need to meet this demand. Obama acknowledged that many international graduates are looking for jobs in America, especially from China and India, but that we need to make

sure Americans are more qualified for their homeland jobs. Obama wants more Americans to study science, math and engineering to keep up with the progressive jobs of tomorrow in America. He cited these jobs as the jobs of the future —the jobs that are also most compromised by international competitors. In 2004, China and India graduated 700,000 engineers while the U.S. graduated only 70,000. With a larger graduate pool to choose from, China and India likely have the better candidates. If America attempts to graduate more engineers it will cre-

ate a more competitive pool of applicants to combat the international challenge. N.C. State should take advantage of the Obama initiative and attempt to collect revenue from private sectors, so the fiscal burden does not rest solely on the federal government. Our engineering school has an opportunity to grow, but it cannot do so in the current budget crisis without private money. The University was ranked 7th in the nation for undergraduate agricultural engineering and 7th for nuclear engineering. There is a demand for engineers in nearly every

area of engineering. However, there are significantly more graduates from certain fields, such as mechanical engineering, than from others, like biomedical engineering. If we can expand our engineering school in general, our administration can then decide which sections of the school require further development. The University has the opportunity to increase competitiveness within its own quarters, but it also has the ability to create more qualified candidates to represent America. We should form our partnership with private sectors and industries so that we can fully take advantage of the initiative made by Obama and strengthen our engineering school.

College benefits all

T

here are many reasons for not enrolling in college. Every reason centers around a core rationale —if one has found themselves and knows what they want to do, a college degree would only hinder their progress, and they should forgo t he traditional college path and star t their life. But there are also reasons why Josh one should stay in colLucas lege. If one Staff Columnist hasn’t found the answer to the question of who they are or what they want, there is no better place than college to find out. It is debatable whether classes are the core of the college experience, but their ability to spur intellectual development is certainly not up for discussion. Our classes a re mea nt to shape our minds as much as they are meant to shape our careers. N.C. State forces a sampling of other majors through their general education requirements, an idea founded on much brilliance and resentment—this gives the students the ability to experience more than just a confined stream of knowledge. These requirements have led me to classes on topics ranging from time-travel to ancient satire. Each one of the bizarre classes I first met with great disdain—however, without being forced into these classes there is no way that I’d be exposed

to what currently constitutes a foundation of my knowledge and perspective. It is the purpose of these classes to drive one into fields that one could not previously understand. Beyond the classroom there is life, and being in college gives students the license and power to do more in life than those who forgo higher education. Within our campus, one is not only able to but is encouraged to adorn as many hats as possible. This role sampling is necessary as it enables us to find our place, and years from now, any embarrassment found in the recollection of our foregone paths will be quelled by one’s place in college. Finally, college enables us to adapt to our newfound independence. Even for those not lucky enough to be financially secure in their college pursuits, they are still shielded from the realities t hat l ie i n wait. Burdens such as food, transport, security, and housing are guaranteed by t he a l linclusive bundle that is college. In college we are able to spend our time honing our independence and finding ourselves. It would undoubtedly be jolting and highly unlikely, at 18 years of age, to jump straight into the world, conquer all its burdens, and find one’s independence simultaneously. For us in college who still find ourselves shielded from the world, we should take many hats, bizarre classes and opportunities to broaden ourselves. There are many benefits to the college life—why would we ever want to leave? Send Josh your thoughts to letters@technicianonline.com.

Faith is not knowing

R

eligious concerns a re f re quent ly conversed but never argued over or refuted. Since no one has the answers to the quesAndrew tions that Greene comStaff Columnist monly agitate our psyche, no one should feel entitled to proclaim their faith to be exclusively righteous. Presently there are none among us whom know with certainty whether there is a God or gods in heaven, none whom know what happens to us when we die, and none whom know for what purpose we exist. Those who are said to have known—figures like Jesus, Muhammad, and Gautama Buddha—have long since passed from this Earth. If no holy symbols remain to inform us of the answers of which we do not have a capacity to discern, then we should not be faulted for exhausting a bit of skepticism. We should not be penalized for delaying our submission to a God, which is only available through scr ipt u res w r it ten by men—who composed, altered, and revised the holy texts central to our understanding of the divine. That is why the combative temperament of zealots is so baffling. No modern man or woman is qualified to speak for God. Those individuals who feel they must engage, con-

vert, or conquer non-adherents are beyond misguided. For such zealots, uncertainty becomes fear, fear becomes hatred, and hatred ultimately becomes intolerance. For many, uncertainty leads to curiosity and a desire to uncover truth. In nearly all regards, curiosity is a great thing. For those who can channel it, obsessive curiosity can cure laziness and encourage progress. From a scientific aspect, it leads us to make concrete discoveries and discern causality. Religion, on the other hand, is an exception. Believing that the answers are right there in “t he book ” as if it was A l ge br a 1, people forget to wonder, and presume to know what they should not. Moreover they presume to know the material without ever opening the tex t. CBN News states that 80 percent of Christians have not even read the entire Bible, which puts them in an awkward position when attempting to understand it and preach it to others. Naturally uncomfortable with not knowing, many of us allow faith to mutate into fact. Then surrounding ourselves with people like us, we forget that we cannot know with any degree of certainty whether our faith is right or true. What’s more, many of

us in exemplary displays of barbarism become fearful of and intolerant towards other faiths without even the slightest idea of what principles constitute the praxis—theirs or ours. It may be terrifying to live without knowing why we are here or what happens when we die, but it is an avoidable danger to live in a world where people go to war in the name of God. We mustn’t forget our uncertainty for it unifies us in this life. By being diligent in our pursuit of divine knowledge, and remembering that harmonious co-exist e nc e i s the common goal of most popular religions we might be able to counteract the unholy factions that have persisted throughout recorded history as a result of misunderstanding. Faith is not the same as knowing. Until we open our minds and recognize this fact, we are doomed to continue living in a world where the primary source of hostility is disagreement about something unknowable.

Industries evolve with changes in the market IBISWorld’s report on 10 fastest-dying industries indicates these businesses are adapting to cope. Meagan Waldrip Correspondent Over the past decade, import competition and advancements in technology have left some businesses struggling more than others to see the light of profit. A recent analysis from firm IBISWorld ranked the ten most speedily declining of these key trades, each allegedly beyond economic recovery. Yet, when confronted with their demise, these industries responded with an adrenalized trend of innovation. Facing the adverse conditions of this economic environment, businesses and university departments in the community have begun to shift the directions of their commerce. Alisha Patrick, shift leader of Blockbuster’s Glenwood Avenue location and a four-year employee of the company, has witnessed the effects of competition from services like Netflix and Redbox on the DVD and game rental industry. “I would say I’d seen a little decline since Redbox came out,” Patrick said, “but a lot of our customers have definitely stuck with us.”- Possibly due to the recent changes that Dish Network implemented in the company after purchasing it. “They actually lowered all of our prices; the most expensive thing now is $2.99.” The company has also made its rentals available through the mail and instant streaming, and through an agreement with Time Warner is able to release many films nearly a month before any other service, namely a 28 day lead. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I was a big one for us; nobody else had it, and we were sold out within hours of opening the store.” The big push to entice customers both new and old is the foundation of Blockbuster’s model for revival. “Hopefully Dish Network will take us in a new and better direction.

CONTRIBUTED BY COLLEGE OF TEXTILES

The textiles environment has changed vastly in the past decades and the College of Textiles is changing its approach to educating students for the industry. According to Kent Hester, director of Textile Career Services, N.C. State is training textile students for high-tech fields in the industry, like engineering materials used in Swiffer Sweeper, not manufacturing like in the past.

Similarly at local School Kid’s Records, much of the sales volume comes from the loyal pockets of regular customers. “We’ve been on Hillsborough Street for about 30 years,” Eric Tschudi, assistant manager said. “We have a lot of regulars. We’ve built a rapport with customers, and the city of Raleigh in general.” “We sell a good bit of new and used CD’s and new and used vinyl,” Tschudi said, accounting for the movement of $1,000 to $2,000 worth of music every day. “Recently,” Tschudi included, “vinyl has been outnumbering our CD sales. Vinyl in general has become more popular, and more of a go-to for all generations.” And so the record store not only defies the statistics of major decline by its reputation in the community, but also by making the greatest profit off of the most ‘outdated’ mode of audio on its shelves. On his own taste in music consumption, Tschudi said, “Just like anyone else I download stuff. But when it’s something I like, I like buying it on vinyl; it’s more of just an actual experience.” Another traditional institution defying its apparent economic expiration date is that of textiles; though the value of domestic mills and their workers

has been negated by growing labor costs, utilities expenses and the strict observance of EPA standards, the N.C. State Textile College maintains its prestigious status. “We’re the only [independent] college of textiles left in the country, and maybe the best in the world,” Kent Hester, Director of Career Services for the college, said. A graduate of the college himself, Hester remembers the days when manufacturing dominated the textile field. “Less than 5 percent of graduates go into manufacturing now; it used to be over 95 percent. One or two companies would come in and hire the entire class.” However, according to Hester, even today there is little concern regarding career opportunities for students of the college. Though the production of commodity items, like t-shirts and socks has gone overseas, Hester said, “What’s still here in the U.S. are a lot of specialty, high-tech items.” From medical applications such as artificial arteries or synthesized synovial fluid, to fashion design or the SMART Textiles that can not only locate and communicate, but also clothe our entire military, N.C. State is leading the world in cre-

The Rosebuds reclaim adult contemporary Addictive new record from local duo adeptly addresses its members’ divorce.

sappy revelations or minorkey moping. Yet – in keeping with the inescapable maturity of this material – The Rosebuds admit to pure and total emotional confusion. “Perspective ceases to exist,” Howard admits in that same song. Tunes like “Cover Ears” reference the sweeping atmospherics of Morrissey’s solo career, while the confident disco stomp of “Come Visit Me” belies Crisp’s emotional burnout. In “Second Bird of Paradise,” a Jacques-Cousteau vibe carries mystical lines like “she’s my sister / and she floats like a bird in the canopy.” Marriage mixes romance and family. When marriage and art are tied together, such as in this band,

the dissolution of the former leaves frayed loose ends in the latter. It’s unclear whether or not Howard is describing his post-marital relationship with Crisp, but he can’t keep his eyes off this bird of paradise. The indie world may be reclaiming territory otherwise seen as cheesy, so this is best described as an adult contemporary record. The same can be said for some other recent releases such as Destroyer’s magnificent Kaputt. True, records like these are not a good place to go for a good, quick rock energy fix. Rather, quality songwriting and inescapable, dense textures hook the listener. Loud Planes Fly Low is moody at spots and distinctly

sort of product of the Cold War era. They were going to school on Veterans’ Affairs bills but back in the 70s and 80s, there were a whole lot of ‘flower children’ not interested in that. So STEM became unpopular for two decades.” According to Jacobson, the lag in engineer training during the 70s and 80s has created a void that must be filled. But Jacobson also referred to a culture change to compensate for “lost time.” A report by the American Society of Engineering Education cites that 74,000 engineers graduated with undergrad, grad and doctorate in 2009. Of the 41,632 masters degrees awarded, 44.1 percent were to foreign nationals. At MIT, twothirds of the graduate student population is foreign. And Jacobson said this is a problem. “Many of these foreign nationals use our education system and then return to their home countries,” Jacobson said. Mark Munday, electrical engineering graduate of 1979 and CEO and President of engineering firm Elster Solutions, said the private sector can work in the solution to expand the engineering work force. “Elster is a very strong engineering company and basically the things we have been able to do is prove our stuff works,” Munday said. “We just hired 115 new folks locally and we’re working on making advancements in our technological needs—smart grids being one of them.” The White House caravan came in and left quickly, but according to Engineering Dean Louis Martin-Vega, the University will work to meet the need for engineers. “We are working here to make sure our students have all the tools appropriate to advance in their fields,” MartinVega said. “You’ll find that most of the engineering disciplines are really converging around the issues of energy and sustainability so a lot of the people that are in engineering fields are graduating very well prepared to meet these challenges.”

Exercising in a time crunch Circuit training is a flexible health option for those with time pressures.

Corbie Hill Christina Rentz of Merge Records recently tweeted that The Love Language’s Libraries is “one of t he greatest summer albums OF THE WEEK ever recorded in the dead of winter!“ To draw a parallel, the latest LP from labelmates, The Rosebuds is a perfect winter record released in June. Where both Raleigh bands draw heavily from 60’s pop, The Rosebuds’ Loud Planes Fly Low is possessed of an indrawn, adult character betraying its origins. It’s a record written by the now-divorced songwriting team of Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard, not only about the end of the marriage that defined the band but also about how the two came to professional terms in lieu of the split and decided to keep making music. “You look over at me every day / and I look over at you every day / and I don’t know how long I’m supposed to wait,” Howard sings in “Without a Focus.” A lot of the emotions explored here are beyond the scope of simple teenage breakup. Crisp and Howard navigate tricky waters—the record could easily be loaded with

in the work force, the college has consistently placed more than 90 percent of its graduates into textile-related jobs and is already at 96 percent placement for the class of 2011. “Overall, I think there’s a lot to be optimistic about,” Hester said.

OBAMA

When considering exercise, studies and friends make time management an issue. Fortunately, there are other options. Circuit training is a technique that combines both strength training and cardiovascular exercises performed back to back with little or no rest in between. Circuit training workouts are functional, quick and simple enough to put together. According to Tom Roberts, department head of physical education, both skeletal and cardiac muscles will benefit from shorter, high-intensity circuit training once or twice per week. “Long, slow distance, also called LSD, training for 60 minutes and short and fast circuit training for 20 minutes will both promote physiological gains, but circuit training can do so while involving more muscle groups at a higher intensity,” Roberts said. The more muscles one can use in any given workout with little rest, the more one can accomplish overtime. “Think of the difference in walking versus running

as you compare LSD and circuit workouts,” Roberts said. “Variety of movement is key— the human body adapts well to multiple activities, and circuit training promotes that opportunity.” According to Roberts, circuit training is also a way to squeeze a workout into a tight schedule. “I don’t have enough time to fit a long workout in between working and teaching classes,” Kristin Tart, group fitness instructor at the recreation center, said. “Circuit workouts are great for me because they keep my heart rate up, and I’m out of the gym in under 30 minutes.” Circuit training is one of the best ways to incorporate strength training and cardiovascular exercise into one workout. It’s challenging, yet short and doable. This type of training will keep exercising interesting.

Kane said he’s embracing his new future in the cycling world without regret. “Cycling was my highlight at my time at State,” Kane said. “I had a lot of professors that I liked, and they were amazing teachers, but the cycling group was great. I met most of my roommates and friends through the cycling club. There was a good group of us; a large percentage of the mountain biking guys were engineers.” Kane said he put in just as many hours training, traveling and racing with the cycling team as he did studying. “I was a really focused student. I took my studies really seriously,” Kane said. “But looking back, I took cycling really seriously, too.” Kane put himself through college working at bike shops and at UPS , work which he says forged his character. “Those experiences really shaped who I am, and no matter what, I think success is defined by hard work more than anything else,” Kane said.

On an open plot next to an oat field in Willow Springs near the site of an old mill pond, Mark Swicegood and his wife Jennifer survey the stacks of bricks and cinderblocks that what will soon become the foundation of their first home. The reward of more than a decade of hard work and sacrifice together, the land will also be home to the office and equipment of the Swicegood’s successful landscaping company- Just My Style Landscape Services Inc. Swicegood’s venture to success began at N.C. State in 1991, when he started as a poultry science major. “I knew I wanted to do something in agriculture and that was what was a booming business,” Swicegood said, “there were a lot of good opportunities.” However, in 1993, taking professor Bryce Lane’s Home Horticulture class, HS 100, awakened a special passion and prompted Swicegood to change his major to Horticulture Science in his third year. “I knew horticulture was something I could get a degree in and it would be useful for the rest of my life no matter what I decided to do,” Swicegood said. Working for local landscaper Jeff Pierce in the fall of 1995, his senior year, justified Swicegood’s change of major. “I fell in love with it,” Swicegood said. Upon graduation from the horticulture program with an extra year in 1996, Swicegood took a fulltime job with Pierce. While his job was secure, Swicegood foresaw a potential opportunity. “I was basically managing his business,” Swicegood said. “I saw I had the abilities to do it myself.” Swicegood decided it was worth the risk to go out on his own and he and Pierce mutually agreed to part ways in September 1997. Having lived in his parents’ Apex home through college and up to this point, he was able to put all his resources

into his business and use his parents’ land to store his equipment. Just My Style Landscape Services Inc. was incorporated in January of 1998 and grew slowly but surely until 2000- when he married Jennifer. According to Jennifer, business always had a boost when they needed it, taking off in 2000 when they were married, in 2002 when their son Ethan was born and in 2006 when they bought the land where they are now building. “Our goal as a business was to just do our best job, do what we said we were going to and present ourselves in a professional manner,” Mark said. “That was how we grew our business.” And he means it. Just My Style has never advertised. “All business is by word of mouth,” his wife said. “You can’t find him in a phone book.” Even when the recession hit, Swicegood said his business reputation and model minimized the damage that most people saw, since they are equipped and certified for both yard maintenance and design/installation. “We aren’t your standard mow, blow and go company,” Swicegood said. “We are a full service landscaping company.”

Having hired his own share of NCSU grads, Swicegood shared his advice for recent graduates. “Find something you like, work hard, and be patient with it. Be willing to work hard and not expect to start on top. Too many young people want to make a lot of money and not do a lot of work,” Swicegood said. The Swicegoods’ patience is now paying off as they look forward to moving out of the small rental house in south Raleigh where they have been living since their marriage. Subject to the late-night rumbling of the nearby Wake County Speedway, the quietness of rural Willow Springs is especially alluring.

in tip-top shape.” Caldwell’s time in Colorado has been mostly spent with trainers and physical therapists; he has made friends with former 2008 Olympian Andy Hrovat. “Andy Hrovat has been showing me the ropes,” Caldwell said. “He’s a former Olympian when they were in Beijing and a member of the National team. He’s been introducing me to the lifestyle and how to handle myself out here.” Jordan said that the friendship he is building with Hrovat can only mean good things for Caldwell. “Any time you surround yourself with greatness, you will become great,” Jordan said.

the west coast, we’re looking for players that will help us win the ACC and hopefully a national championship. Technician: What do you think you learned from your successes at Butler that you want to apply to N.C. State’s program? Findley: The best thing I learned was that the ideas we were using worked. Any time you go into anything and you’ve been doing it as long as I have, you create a philosophy. You kind of whittle it down, you make it sharper, you make it cleaner, and you focus on it.

“If Caldwell is surrounded with guys who are doing the right things and know what to do, it should only make his experiences that much better.” While Caldwell has been away from Raleigh for the past few months, he still talks to several of the N.C. State wrestlers in between training. “I still talk to a lot of the guys from State to keep my head right,” Caldwell said. “I still keep close contact with Darrius [Little] and Quinton [Godley]. Those guys were my boys back at home, so I try to keep up with them.” While Caldwell still has a lot of work to do in order to get back out on the mat, Jordan believes competing in the Olympics next summer is a definite possibility. “It’s certainly something that he can do,” Jordan said. “Ev-

To see it work as well as it did at Butler was very encouraging. But also, it also showed me that it’s going to work anywhere I go. The experience I had, the type of players I had, the training we did, our recovery, our fitness, all of those things all built to have the kind of season and the program that we developed there. We’re doing it a little bit quicker here, because we know what we’re doing. At Butler, it was still a bit of an experiment. Technician: How helpful will it be having your assistant coaches from Butler here with you at State? Findley: I think it’s great. The reason I brought those guys with me is because not only are they great coaches,

erything will be based on how well his shoulder heals, and how hard he works. He’s got as good a chance as anybody.” Last year’s wrestler for the U.S. in Caldwell’s weight class, 66 kg, was Brent Metcalf. Caldwell and Metcalf have a bit of a history with one another after the 2009 National Championship match. Caldwell won the match and proceeded to do a backflip on the mat, at which point Metcalf confronted him and pushed him in midair. It was Metcalf’s second loss in his first three years of collegiate wrestling; both losses came at the hands of Caldwell. Even with all of the past issues between the two wrestlers, Jordan still believes the two will be able to put the past behind them. “That’s over with, it’s done,”

they have great character and are incredibly hard workers. They know their role. Instead of taking off from the ground walking, I think we started sprinting. Technician: Is it difficult to recruit from a place like England, where soccer is a much more popular and respected sport? Findley: I don’t think so. In the U.S., people are starting to recognize the quality of soccer. The kids recognize the chance to get a great education and play at an incredibly high level. Our facilities, not only at N.C. State, but also across the country, are first class. It’s all about having the right connections and getting the right guys. Findley’s final message to the

Jordan said. “But Darrion has an amazing gift for the sport and shouldn’t have to worry about anything like that.” Though Caldwell still has a lot of rehabilitation to go through in order to get back out on the mat and compete for a spot on the National team, Jordan believes that the four-time ACC Champion should have no problem earning a spot. “I keep telling him, as far as I’m concerned, that’s his spot,” Jordan said. “The only reason why he’s not there is because someone else is occupying it. If he gets that damn shoulder better he should have that spot easily.”

fans: We’re excited about all the changes that are happening. One, you’re going to see a greater pride in the program in general. With the upgrades, the support, the professionalism in training, how our guys have responded in the weight room and in fitness, and just our general approach. You’re going to see a greater pride in the style of play, the preparation, the recovery, and the product that’s on the field.

ships when University of Akron senior Valerie Wert edged Hampton in a tiebreaker for the twelfth and final spot by two feet. Despite this disappointment, Hampton has made significant improvements this year, which Wolfpack throwing coach Tom Wood attributes to a greater understanding of the event and increased competition from an influx of throwers. Hampton sees her success under the circumstances as “clearly a blessing.” “I feel like all I did was show up with the desire and the willingness to put forth the work and everything else just panned out.” Although approaching maternity will hamper Hampton’s

ability to train and compete, coach Wood said he enjoyed his experience with her. “She is a wonderful young lady,” Wood said. “I really enjoyed watching her grow up.” Nathan Hampton said Brittany’s athletic skill is natural. “I don’t know what it is but, it is just the way when the discus leaves her hand you can tell that she’s got something a little extra that goes with it,” Nathan said, “It is really amazing to see how it works.” With the baby due in Nov. 26, near the kickoff of exams, things won’t get any easier for Hampton. Her status for her final year of athletic eligibility remains in doubt as Brittany recognizes that she can’t put herself first anymore. One thing is for sure: The Hamptons’ “dead” week before exams this November carries the promise and hope of a new life.

Choi earns another All-American honor After being unanimously named ACC Freshman of the Year earlier in the summer, rising sophomore golfer Albin Choi was named to the Golfweek All-American honorable mention team. He was also named to the All-Freshman first team by the same publication. The Toronto, Ontario, native has continued to rack up awards from several places, such as the PING All-Region team and the All-Freshman team by the Phil and Amy Mickelson Foundation, since he was the first Wolfpack player to earn the conference Freshman of the Year since Tim Clark in 1996.

organized, tactically astute, and they understand what it takes to win a game. You’re going to see a team that is disciplined, that has a great sense of what their roles is, and that knows how to execute those roles.

Josh Hyatt

Technician: There are nearly 30 people on the roster. Do you have any idea what you’re starting line-up will be? Findley: No, and I think it’s a good situation that we’re in right now. We have a really good group of guys returning and some really quality, new players. That’s what you want as a coach. I’ve always said that players, in the end, make the decisions for coaches. The best players have to play. My job is to win games. I could care less if someone is on a big scholarship, small scholarship, old player, new player, foreign, etc. Don’t care. What I encourage my players to do is to play their best and make me find a place to put them on the field.

After George Tarantini stepped down from his position as the men’s soccer coach after 29 years, Athletics Director Debbie Yow faced a tough task in finding the replacement for a person who many Pack soccer fans considered a legend. If the last five years are any indication, Yow may have found her man. Over those five seasons, Findley compiled a 59-25-15 record with the Butler Bulldogs including league championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. He also ranked No. 5 nationally last year while becoming one of only two unbeaten teams in the regular season. Technician sat down with Findley to discuss the past, present and future of his coaching career as well as where he believes the program is headed.

Technician: What can you say about some of the new recruits? Findley: We’ve got a good mix of experience, talent and athleticism. The European guys are going to give us some really good balance and experience. We’ve got some really young guys that are very athletic and talented, but they’re young. I’m really excited about the mix.

Technician: What is your goal for the program? Kelly Findley: Our goal is to put ourselves in the position to get into the NCAA tournament. Technician: Do you have any surprises for the fans this season? Findley: I think one is they’re going to see a different style of soccer. We’re going to be concentrating on great passing, speed, good movement and good discipline. I think it’s going to be a great product to watch. Being on campus is a big part of that. Our new stadium with chairback seating in the bleachers will be a lot more comfortable. With the atmosphere, in general, I think our crowds are going to continue to grow. Technician: Regarding the style of play, it’s not going to be the overhead longball, ‘launch and hope’ type of play like it has typically been in the

past? Findley: Exactly. In any game, you have to vary your attack. There are times when you have to go over, you have to go around, or you have to go through. We’re going to have to vary our attack based on the game tactics, but our style of play will be one of quick passing, or-

Amidst reports that he will announce his decision this week, Wilson has remained with the Asheville Tourists, a farm team for the Colorado Rockies. In fact, Wilson’s batting average has picked up over the last few games to raise his on-base percentage (OBP) to .367, 4th best on the team. While reports are still coming out about the possibility of an announcement from Wilson, he continues to swing the bat well, going 9-for-26 to raise his average to .220 for the season.

Technician: A couple of the newly recruited players are from England. Traditionally, most of our players are locally recruited. Do you think this will be the start of a new trend? Findley: Right now, we’re using European players to help bridge the gap. When we started in January, we were basically behind the recruiting cycle. In order to get the quality of players that we needed to put our program into a position to get into the NCAA tournament, we had to bridge a gap. You do that with experienced, European players. Our goal for the future will be to get the best American players. Whether they come from North Carolina or the east coast or
