Hofmann sale still on, despite prospectus Staff Report

The deal to sell the Hofmann Forest will continue, despite revelations that the buyer circulated a prospectus earlier this year that proposed clearing a large portion of the forest for development and farmland, university officials said Friday. “Yesterday, the buyer confirmed there are ‘no plans to develop the property into a large commercial and residential community,’” Brad Bohlander, associate vice chancellor for University Communications and chief communications officer at N.C. State, said in an emailed statement. “In addition to this commitment, the property in question

is zoned for conservation uses and any changes to accommodate such development would require a county public approval process.” Bohlander said Hofmann Forest LLC, the buyer, has made clear it will honor these outcomes, which are consistent with the sales agreement. “Throughout the sales process, N.C. State has negotiated in good faith, doing our best to ensure this sale will achieve the goals of preserving the legacy of the forest and allowing for the continuation of the current uses of the land, including opportunities for continued university research,” Bohlander said. Ron Sutherland, a conservation-

ist for the Wildlands Network, said he’s not buying the University’s message. The Hofmann process has consisted of several half-truths and lies, Sutherland said in an email. “Apparently NCSU made those drawings [development plan renderings] in 2009, and clearly they gave them to Walker Group/Hofmann LLC,” Sutherland said. “So they were lying their pants off when they said this was the first they had seen of the prospectus document. They wrote at least part of it and they gave it to at least one potential buyer when promoting the sale.” Tom Percival, a spokesperson for Hofmann Forest LLC, told WNCT, a CBS News affiliate on Friday that

the company has “no plans to develop Hofmann Forest for any commercial or residential ventures.” “The development plans contained in the document are renderings that were done by N.C. State University four years ago as an exploratory study,” Percival said. Bohlander’s statement said Section Eight of the sales agreement outlines the commitments between N.C. State and the buyer, “including the buyer’s intent to establish the forest as a legacy property, pursue securing easements with the military and use the property for timber production and agricultural endeavors, as well as allow the University to continue research activities at the

forest.” “Section 16 includes a merger clause that states the sales agreement, and not any previous documents or discussions, is the final and entire agreement,” Bohlander said. Sutherland said N.C. State is trying to reframe the debate to make it all about the urban development, as opposed to clearing the land for agricultural purposes. “Even there, all they are really saying is that they have no immediate plans to start building next year, and they’re making broad assurances to the military that they don’t plan to develop the entire property,” Sutherland said.

Students race across campus in globally themed competition Estefania Castro-Vazquez Correspondent

Students of different nationalities competed in a c a mpus-w ide sc avenger hunt Friday to promote the awareness of international education. On Friday, the Office of International Services and Study Abroad hosted the Pangea Race. The race, designed similarly to the television game show “The Amazing Race,” led participants from clue to clue. At each destination, teams had to either answer a question correctly or complete a challenge to advance to the next location. The race was open to all N.C. State students, and ap-

proximately 47 students from 18 different countries signed up to participate, according to Ethan Harrelson, the event coordinator. Racers could either sign up with a team or sign up individually and be assigned a team at random. Four to five people comprised each team. Genya Kalinina, a junior in marketing, raced for the first time this year with her roommate and two other partners. Kalinina said she was excited about winning and heard about the race from an email from the Office of International Services. Harrelson said that a lot of the challenges were internationally themed, and some were even games from other

countries. Teams left Daniels Hall at separate times to ensure one team couldn’t just follow another team. Event organizers set up two courses with the same destinations but in different orders. The winning team had the fastest time. Racers were allowed to ask people on the streets, use their smartphones or use any other method to come up with the answers to questions that tested their knowledge of different nationalities. “The idea is for your team to be more competitive, it needs to be diverse,” Harrelson said.

Friendly Drive to close Tuesday Staff Report

Friendly Drive is scheduled to close to through traffic from Nov. 19 to Jan. 5, due to construction. Stanhope Center II, on an 800-bed student housing and retail development project that will be across from East Village on Hillsborough Street, will cause street closures on and near N.C. State’s Campus. Friendly Drive is west of the Dan Allen Deck and cuts through to Hillsborough

Street. All entrances and exits to the Dan Allen Parking Deck will remain open but will only be accessible from Dan Allen Drive. Students and faculty members will not be able to travel southbound on Dixie Trail and cross Hillsborough Street to access the Dan Allen Parking Deck. Also, a portion of Hillsborough Street will be closed to through traffic from Dec. 19 - Jan. 5. The city of Raleigh suggests drivers take Faircloth Street to Wade Avenue

and turn right onto Dixie Trail to travel from Gorman Street to campus. Wolf line Rt. 6, CarterFinley, will be detoured from Dec. 19 - Jan. 5. On Friday, a representative from NCSU Transportation said they will provide more information about the specific Wolfline detour route soon. The Dan Allen gate will be open beginning Dec. 18 and will remain open through Jan. 5.

N.C. State is not immune to the problems of Elizabeth City State University, which is currently facing a decision to drop seven programs including history, physics and political science. Every two years, the UNCSystem General Administration reviews all programs at each of the 16 UNC-System colleges and universities to ensure the programs are meeting enrollment and graduation standards. In 2012, the General Administration recommended that N.C. State review 13 degrees, including one associate’s degree, four baccalaureate degrees, three masters programs and five doctoral programs. These programs were labeled “low productivity,” due to either current enrollment numbers or the number of degrees awarded. Duane Larick, senior vice

provost for academic strategy and resource management, said University officials who get these reports and are required to respond with intended changes, which include elimination or plans to increase enrollment. Larick said he thinks Elizabeth City State University is in a different situation than N.C. State. ECSU is experiencing overall enrollment issues, Larick said, as opposed to problems with specific majors. ECSU’s enrollment has dropped from 3,300 students in 2010 to about 2,400 this fall. Larick said given those circumstances, it is not surprising ECSU is having to prioritize academic offerings. “They’ve had such a steep of a drop in enrollment, that it’s caused them to look at their curriculum,” Larick said. “They are rethinking what students want and what students need.” Larick said N.C. State does

Larick said this task force helps prepare his office to respond to recommendations from the UNC System General Administration, which come every two years. “When we got the productivity review memo [from the

New style of teaching becomes more common at N.C. State Jess Thomas Correspondent

N.C. State professors are beginning to utilize “flipped classrooms,” which incorporate an online lecture component so that time in class is dedicated to example problems and group discussions. The Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications at N.C. State helps professors integrate the online lecture component into their classrooms. Stacy Gant, director of instructional support services for DELTA, said flipped classrooms are currently a “hot topic” in higher education. Anna Howard, an engineering professor, utilizes a flipped classroom for her statics course. She said grades in her classroom have improved significantly since the change. “My drop rate has gone down between 3 and 5 percent and my success rate also went up between 3 and 5 percent, so even the people who stay are getting better grades,” Howard said. Howard said she believes that f lipped classrooms benefit students because instructors tailor the materials specifically to student needs.

Ramos said it was important to have “a diverse team and group cohesion.” The race covered all of main campus, taking racers from the Court of Carolina, to the rock wall in Carmichael, to the Memorial Bell Tower. Teams included “The A Team,” which had two previous winners from last year’s Pangea Race, and the “Globetrotters,” a team composed of Polish international graduate students. The race was free, and there were prizes at the end at Caldwell Hall, the last stop in the race.

General Administration], we knew what was coming,” Larick said. The General Administration gives a list of ways to respond, Larick said, including elimination or changing the major so that it’s a concentration under another major. N.C. State can also argue that the major is necessary and shouldn’t be changed at all.

For example, the General Administration identified the Masters of Poultry Science degree as “low enrollment.” The program typically averages five to eight students. “We responded by saying that because of the importance of the Poultry Industry to the state and given that N.C. State is the only university in North Carolina to offer this program, we need to keep it,” Larick said. “Also, it’s the right size, based on industry needs and interest levels.”

Murison said. “There has definitely been an increase, but there has also been an increase of events that are more geared toward economic development. There’s a balance.” Murison said he thinks there is an important leadership role for the city to coordinate, review, help communicate and complete post-event evaluations for each event. Murison said that currently, HSCSC doesn’t the have time or resources to do this entire process. He said he appreciated that the proposed task force would have authority over other city agencies that HSCSC doesn’t have. “My understanding is the city intends on keeping the Hillsborough Street Corporation intimately involved in the process so that we can play an active role in advising them on the pros and cons of any particular event,” Murison said. Murison said events are a complicated topic. For example, there are different kinds of events. Some road races occur from downtown to way out in the suburbs, essentially using the street as a racecourse. Murison said these are quite disruptive and

have little return on investment. “Other races are more centralized and are more beneficial,” Murison said. “Then there are things like Packapalooza, which was fantastic because it brings tens of thousands of people to the street in a way that lets them interact with the merchants. So there’s not a one-size-fitsall answer to whether these events are positive or negative.”

Lindstaedt said that DRA was not directly involved in a push for the proposed positions, but the City Council did approach her organization for advice. “We’ve been in our role for several years,” Lindstaedt said. “As more races come to Raleigh, we’ve seen several problems arise. The City Council had a long conversation with us when they were considering this task force.” Murison said large events,

including road races, are a huge part of Raleigh’s economy. The road races help Hillsborough Street develop as a distinct destination. “It’s a balancing act of trying to attract the right events and to manage them well while communicating them well with the entire community,” Murison said. “To that end, the city’s involvement in that process, I think, would be extremely helpful.”

Another example is the Masters and Ph.D. Immunology programs, which were also labeled “low productivity” in 2012. Larick said the University decided to make Immunology a concentration underneath the Comparative Biomedical Sciences program. Larick said the General Administration accepted both responses. “We’ve been very proactive in updating our programs, and we continue to make de-

cisions as to what to do next,” Larick said. “Science is continually progressing, and our job is to change the emphasis, curricula and training to keep ahead of industry need.” Larick said that even if N.C. State decided to eliminate a major or program, it would utilize a “phase-out process.” With Immunology, for example, students will have the option to stay in the current major or switch to Comparative Biomedical Sciences during the transition process.

“We would never pull the plug and leave students hanging,” Larick said. Despite declining interest in humanities and liberal arts programs across the United States, the General Administration only labeled two programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences as “low enrollment” in 2012. And technically, this was a mistake. French Language and Literature: Teacher Education and Spanish Language and Literature: Teacher

Education were the only two CHASS majors on the 2012 list. “We had already changed the Teacher Education programs to concentrations in the language and literature majors,” Larick said. “This was a mistake that was corrected in General Administrations academic inventory list.”

“It takes a lot of coordination, but it’s an amazing event and everyone’s going to have a good time,” Hollingshead said. The variety show lived up to its name with performances by three a cappella groups, two drag queens, several dance crews, a modeling troupe, an electric hula hooper, and a mixture of students presenting spoken word. “This is a time to really bring everyone together in a united way and in support of diversity,” Hollingshead said. “The arts do a great job of that.” There were up-beat performances, such as the Grains of Time a cappella set list and Zach McKinney’s electric hula hoop routine, which received massive cheers from the audience. However, there were also powerful showcases of spoken word that tackled gay rights, racism and the fight against AIDS. “I think it just shows that diversity transcends race and sexual orientation and gender, and it can help to bring a whole community together,” Hollingshead said. “That shows when you look at the makeup of the audience that will be in attendance.” A short clip was also shown before each act that explained the performers own definition of the terms and how their art or craft expresses it within themselves.

Karma Electra, also known as “The Queen of the Pack”, hosted the event in Witherspoon Cinema, Friday. At the beginning of the evening she promised, “everyone in this audience is going to have fun tonight!”

Cheyenne Lashmit, a freshman in biological sciences, said she enjoyed the show, especially for the message it communicated to the audience. “It shows you should accept people no matter their sexual orientation, skin color, or anything like that,” Lashmit said. Similarly, Jamal Moss, a junior in biological sciences, said that even though diversity is not always something tangible or visible to the eye,

people should still be mindful of other’s feelings and varying circumstances. “It turned out to be everything I thought it was going to be,” Moss said. “Just being in this crowd, you have to think about what you say, the people you’re with and be aware of your surroundings because there are people, like they said, with diversity in things you can’t see, like religion or background.”

China’s typhoon aid disappoints Filipinos, such as myself

ince Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines more than a week ago, Juvelyn Taniega has found the bodies of three of her six children. “My children are decomposing,” she said. Taniega’s other three children were Megan still missing Ellisor as of Friday, Viewpoint Editor when CNN reported the incident. CNN called the post-typhoon scene in the Philippines “apocalyptic.” Typhoon Haiyan has killed at least 3,637 people in the Philippines. Those who were fortunate enough to survive are struggling to find food, shelter and proper medical care. According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, 12,487 people were injured. NBC reported that three million people were displaced. “Help us Amerika [sic]” is written in red on the side of a yellow building in Tacloban, the city that has suffered the most damage. The United States, with the world’s largest economy, has pledged $20 million in aid. Britain is sending $16 million, Japan $10 million and the Vatican $4 million. But China, with the world’s second-largest economy, has not been so generous. On Nov. 13, it offered just $100,000, which Time magazine called “measly.” The following day, after China received criticism for its pal-

try donation, Chinese media reported that the country was sending an additional $1.64 million in supplies. At $1.74 million, China is roughly on par with countries like Ireland ($1.4 million), Italy ($1.3 million) and Spain ($1.8 million). But China’s economy is four times larger than that of Italy, which has the ninth-largest economy. Ireland and Spain aren’t even in the top 10 on the list of largest economies. China is donating less than even some private entities, including Ikea and Coca-Cola, which have each offered more than $2 million. But China has not always been so frugal. It offered $5 million after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, according to CNN. And after an earthquake rocked Pakistan two months ago, the country promised $4.88 million in relief supplies, according to Time magazine. So what does China have against the Philippines? The two countries have been disputing about territory in the South China Sea since early 2012. The Philippines is taking the case to an international arbitration tribunal, according to The New York Times. The Philippines further irritated China this year when it accepted naval vessels from Japan and supported Japan’s plans to strengthen its military. The Chinese government should not have used this tragic event as an opportunity to show its aversion to the Philippines. Even the Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party-

linked newspaper that normally f launts nationalist views, supported sending aid to the Philippines. “A twisted relationship between the two countries cased by maritime disputes is not the reason to block joint efforts to combat natural disaster,” the Nov. 12 Global Times editorial said. “China’s international image is of vital importance to its interests. If it snubs Manila this time, China will suffer great losses.” The editorial board said its call for more extensive Chinese assistance doesn’t affect its feelings about the South China Sea issue. “Chinese society can handle these two different matters,” it said. The Chinese editoria l board of the Global Times had the courage to admit that its country was in the wrong. So it would only be fair if I point out that the U.S. hasn’t always been so altruistic in its disaster relief aid, either. Jin Canrong, professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing, said critics should remember that the U.S. only sent $20,000 when China’s Yangtze River flooded and killed 3,704 people in 1998. As an American, it’s difficult to shame the Chinese government when my country’s government has done the same. But as a Filipina with family members in Lambunao, Iloilo who lost everything in the storm, it’s not at all difficult to say this: China is in the wrong.

I am a hardcore Dumpster diver, and like Bridget Lassiter, I am disheartened to see the enormous waste in our nation, and the failure of retailers to allow their «trash» to get into the hands of those who can use it rather than it end up in landfills. Lassiter may be incorrect, however, when she says

Dumpster diving is illegal in North Carolina. In my 25 years-plus years of Dumpster diving, I have never been told it was illegal. Since most Dumpsters are on private property, digging through them is just fine as long as the store owners don’t object. If you are trespas sed by police (at the store owner’s request) and return to the same Dumpster you could be arrested. Left out of Lassiter’s story, however, is the sad fact that

N.C. State students toss out tons of perfectly good items at the end of each school year (NCSU Dumpsters literally overflow with great stuff each May). But it’s best to hit Wolfpack Dumpsters at night with flash lights because the NCSU campus police are some of the worst hasslers of Dumpster divers I have ever met. Patrick O’Neill Garner, NC

Beyond: Two Souls offers obscure opportunities Hassan DuRant

THE HIGHS

Staff Writer

•

Beyond: Two Souls hit stores last month to mixed reviews. Not everyone appreciated the game’s attempt to bridge the gap between films and video games, but those who were willing to immerse themselves in the innovative narrative design and game world were rewarded with an enriching experience no other game can truly compare to. Beyond gets a decent amount of flak for having a lackluster story, but compared to the slew of AAA Games titles that have come out in recent years, Beyond sticks out as a breath of fresh air — for most of the game. Still, for a game with a major selling point being its story, more attention could have been paid to improving the weaker spots in the script. Players go through the game as Jodie Holmes (voiced and motioncaptured by Ellen Page), a girl who is tethered to a mysterious psychic entity named Aiden. The game goes through 15 years of Jodie’s life in non-chronological, episodic chapters. Much of the story explores Jodie’s relationship with Aiden as she develops from a little girl with a despicable monster following her to her loving and interdependent friendship with it. If the game emphasized that relationship and inner struggle the entire time, Beyond: Two Souls would easily have been one of the best games I’ve played in a long time. Sadly, the game tries way too hard to be the save-the-world action thriller it was never meant to be,

especially in the last 20 percent. The parts of the story that involve government conspiracies and political unrest are, by far, the most poorly written segments and detract from the beautiful simplicity of the chapters that deal with Jodie’s struggle to come to terms with her self-image and her gift. David Cage, Beyond’s director, said the mixing of different genres was an intentional choice. In this case, it was definitely a decision that hurt what the game could have been. Players can choose to play the game either alone or with a friend: one person controls Jodie, and the other controls Aiden. Controlling Jodie is easy enough, but Aiden is another story. Aiden is essentially a floating camera that can roam wherever he pleases— which is cool, but his controls were uncomfortable and felt unnatural. It got easier after playing the game for a while, but it was definitely a pain

to work for far too long. Another bad mark against Beyond’s controls is the camera. My god, the camera. For much of the game, the camera angles are beautiful. Players can definitely tell the creators took their sweet time honing their cinematography skills. On the other hand, there are more than several instances where I really need the camera to look just a little bit that way, and it just won’t cooperate. Beyond’s biggest innovation lies within the choices the game affords the player. Sadly, the choices players make in Beyond are subtle, so subtle, they may go unnoticed. Sometimes, players might not even realize they

had a choice at all. For example, there is a chapter in which Jodie sneaks out of her room to go to a bar with friends. If players make certain choices, they get caught before even making it out of the neighborhood, and the game acts as if you were supposed to get caught all along. On the other hand, players might get to the bar successfully, but decide to leave early once things get too fishy. Or players might tough it out to the bitter end. And most amusingly, if players have Jodie sit in her room and cry and play guitar all night, they might not get the chance to sneak out at all. The game rewards those who pay attention to their surroundings. A

player could miss entire scenes if he or she goes from point A to point B without interacting with the world. The missed scenes aren’t necessarily essential to understanding the story’s plot, but if someone breezes through the game thoughtlessly, that person might have a much blander experience than by taking the time to explore and tinker around. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Beyond: Two Souls. It definitely had its fair share of issues, but if you like immersive and interactive stories in your video game, I can’t recommend Beyond enough.

36 hours: An evening and morning in Raleigh Kaitlin Montgomery Staff Writer

As the capital of North Carolina and part of the Triangle, Raleigh is a rapidly growing city. Forbes list featured Raleigh’s rapid development on many fronts. Re-energized, the City of Oaks still maintains pride in its history, from downtown to the warehouse district. Even so, Raleigh can often leave visitors and residents wondering what exactly to do or where to eat. Raleigh has continued to allure a creative energy f lourishing the downtown area with bakeries, coffee shops, bars, food trucks and food galleries. Here are a few restaurants organized by the best day and time to visit each. Friday, noon. – Walnut Creek Wetland Center Opening in September of 2009, the Walnut Creek Wetland Center, 950 Peterson St., was created to increase awareness of the importance of wetlands. The wetlands are just as beneficial to its visitors as it is to the plants and wildlife it houses. The facility occupies a space within a 59-acre park bordered by State Street, Peterson Street and Garner Road. Visitors can rent facilities, attend a scheduled program (free to all ages), or stroll along one of the many greenway trails. The wetlands host an expansive deck from which there is the opportunity to spot everything from the common fox to the occasional bald eagle. Friday, 6 p.m. – Angus Barn A fixture in Raleigh since the mid1960s, Angus Barn, 9401 Glenwood Ave., is known for its grilled, dryaged steaks of which it sells about 20,000 every month. With eight different cuts to choose from, diners have the option of six different sauces and toppings. The menu includes an assortment of seafood and lamb, as well as vegetarian options. Don’t forget to save room for the award-winning chocolate chess pie or blackberry cobbler. Friday, 10 p.m. – Legends Nightclub End the night like a queen with a drag show at Legends Nightclub, 330

West Hargett St. Friday nights, the club hosts three showings: 10 p.m., noon and 1 a.m. Primarily catering to Raleigh’s GLBT community, Legends features the best new dance tracks, live entertainment and the “finest female impersonations.” Legends only allows in those 18 and older, charging a cover of $7. Saturday, 9 a.m. – Raleigh Flea Market Start the morning off right with a trip to the Raleigh Flea Market, 1025 Blue Ridge Rd. A tradition in the Triangle since 1971, the Raleigh Flea Market occupies space at the Historic North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Every weekend, the aisles line with vendors showcasing their endless treasures. Shoppers can scour the more than 600 vendors for nearly anything: homemade jewelry records, clothing, furniture and so much more. Saturday, 11 a.m. – Turkish Delights The attention-grabbing, vibrantly purple house on the corner of Glenwood Avenue is Turkish Delights. A coffee and pastry shop featuring a number of popular Turkish treats sits at the lower level of this cozy cafe. As the owners make all of the pastries, customers can sample anything from traditional baklava to authentic Turkish coffee. Saturday, 1 p.m. – Historic Yates Mill County Park The Historic Yates Mill County Park, 4620 Lake Wheeler Rd., lets visitors “escape from the daily grind.” A 174-acre wildlife refuge and environmental research center, the park offers tours, hiking trails, picnic areas and fishing spots. The park, located in Wake County and once home to more than 70 water mills, now has the last operable water-powered gristmill. Sightseers can tour the mill while learning about the once heavily agriculturedriven Wake County. Saturday, 3 p.m. – JC Raulston Arboretum Raleigh’s nationally acclaimed garden, the JC Raulston Arboretum, 4415 Beryl Rd., is always worth a visit. The arboretum is home to the most diverse collection of cold hardy temperate zone

ing the declining years of the Civil War, many soldiers were buried in the cemetery with bodies reinterred from graves all across the region. Reports of ghost encounters in the cemetery trace as far back as the 1970s.

Professor facilitates pig reproduction Taylor Quinn Staff Writer

Adorning William Flowers’ office is an array of different pig figurines and stuffed animals that his students have given him during the years. Flowers studies and said he is interested in anything related to pigs—even their semen. Flowers, an alumni distinguished professor of animal science at N.C. State, said his job entails 60 percent teaching and 40 percent research. His research program is reproductive physiology and works mainly with farm animals, specifically male pigs. “What I’m really interested in is helping animals or owners of animals who may think their males are sub-fertile, infertile or not impregnating female animals,” Flowers said. “That is kind of my job: to conduct research and kind of help them out.” Flowers said he helps the medical schools in the Triangle by testing on pigs. “Because I know pigs and understand how they work and think, which is kind of a strange thing, I help the medical schools that use pigs as a model for studying human diseases,” Flowers said. “So a lot of times I collaborate with them and help them try to figure out how to manage pigs.” According to Flowers, pigs’ behavior can be manipulated by doing something as simple as rearranging the pens in which they live, so he helps the medical schools with their organization. “A lot of those people are really, really good at what they do, but

they’ve never worked much with pigs,” Flowers said. “That’s not in my Ph.D. work, but it is something that I really enjoy.” On the other side of his work, the teaching side, Flowers tends to work with with masters, Ph.D. students or a few undergraduate students. Flowers said that animal science students typically need to have documented research experience to get into vet school. “I work with a lot of students on research projects so they can go on and get into vet school,” Flowers

said. “So I end up doing a lot of interesting things with pigs because the students may be interested in them.” Flowers said he grew up around animals, which influenced his career choice. “I grew up on a diversified farm. It was a family farm and really interesting,” Flowers said. “This was back in the ‘70s, and everything we raised was outside. And out of all the animals I worked with, I always felt the sorriest for the pigs because people never really paid much atten-

“The Changing Climate of Weather Prognostication: The Irony of Uncertainty Leading to Better Forecasts” Wednesday, December 4, 2013 7p.m. at James B. Hunt Library Centennial Campus, NCSU For years, computer model forecasts have been shown on TV as a single, what we call deterministic solution. These forecasts are destined to be wrong, with the only question being by how much. A different approach is sprouting roots, where the emphasis is not just on a forecast, but on the degree of uncertainty in that forecast. Greg will discuss how talking about uncertainty will help in delivering a better forecast.

tion to them, and I felt like they were always kind of picked on.” Flowers said he didn’t always think he was going to be a professor. Hee said he wanted to be a veterinarian when he was growing up. “I went to Virginia Tech for undergrad,” Flowers said. “So I really thought I wanted to go to vet school, but then I got to learn more about pigs – like their reproductive physiology and nutrition – and decided to go to grad school. I also had the opportunity to be an undergraduate teaching assistant, and I really liked

working with my peers.” Flowers said his work, as well as most work involving pigs, is relevant to society in a few ways. “Right now, pork is sort of the most-popular-consumed protein in the world if you look at the per capita protein consumption,” Flowers said. “And the way our society is rapidly growing we are going to have to come up with different ways to produce food to feed everyone in the world.” Flowers said he doesn’t, in fact, eat pork.

“We wanted to get out and run because that’s our style of play. We have a lot of finishers and playmakers.” Freshman center Beejay Anya provided a solid defensive presence for the Wolfpack against the Camels. Anya logged 15 minutes on Saturday night, a career high for the Gaithersburg, Md. native. The freshman blocked three shots, grabbed four rebounds and scored four points, energizing the Pack and the PNC Arena crowd. “BeeJay is going to be really good,” Gottfried said. “The question is how quickly can he get himself to where he can really play effectively for longer than two or three minutes…. He understands now that if he can keep shedding

weight, it’s going to make him a more effective player.” Anya, who said he has been losing weight to improve his conditioning, also said the coaching staff is starting to have more confidence in him. “Playing as much as I did today shows me that Coach Gottfried is starting to put more trust in me,” Anya said. “He really thinks I can contribute so I’m excited.” Anya helped State dominate the boards against the Camels. The Pack grabbed 37 total rebounds, 16 offensive, compared to the Camels’ 29. Sophomore guard Tyler Lewis led the Wolfpack in rebounds with eight. Lewis had a tough shooting night, going 3-11 from the f loor, but dished out nine assists, something Gottfried said he takes notice of on a nightly basis. “I love how he got nine assists and only one turnover,”

Gottfried said. “A lot of guys in the country don’t do that, and so that’s not something I take for granted.” State’s starters got in foul trouble early, with junior guards Ralston Turner and Desmond Lee picking up two fouls in the first 10 minutes. Warren joined them in foul trouble soon after, but Anya and the Wolfpack stepped up to keep the Camels’ offense in check. Gottfried said the fouls gave his team an opportunity to work on its aggressive zone defense. “I thought we learned how to play with our zone defense without fouling,” Gottfried said. “That was good for our guys to learn how to stay aggressive and not foul. But once we got to the second half, the foul trouble really went away.”

goal line. But BC senior receiver Alex Amidon was there to recover in the end zone for a touchdown. The Eagles went for the two-point conversion and got it to go up 28-14. The Pack would get no closer the rest of the way, despite a late touchdown from sophomore quarterback Garrett Leatham to freshman receiver Jumichael Ramos. Ramos had a career day, hauling in five passes for 109 yards and a score. Williams scored a late 34-yard touchdown, which finished off the Wolfpack.

Speaking of records, State set its own on Saturday. The Pack’s seven-game ACC losing streak is the longest in the school’s history. Williams added two touchdowns on the day from 17 and 34 yards out. His backup, freshman running back Myles Willis, also scored on a 19-yard run.

Boston College senior running back Andre Williams breaks the tackle of N.C. State’s senior cornerback Dontae Johnson. Williams ran for a school-record 339 yards in the Eagles’ 38-21 win over the Wolfpack on Saturday.

This wasn’t the first time the Pack’s defense has been gashed on the ground. In its loss to Syracuse on Oct. 12, State allowed the Orange’s running back duo of junior Jerome Smith and senior Prince-Tyson Gulley to combine for 272 yards. With BC leading 10-0 in the second quarter, senior wide receiver Rashard Smith took a swing pass into the

end zone from eight yards out to cut the lead to three. That was set up by a 61-yard catch-and-run by freshman tailback Matt Dayes. Smith’s score appeared to signify that State was settling in after a tough start. But the Pack ’s defense failed to hold up its end of the bargain on the next drive. The Eagles answered with a crisp five-play, 74-yard drive

capped by Willis’ touchdown run to go up 17-7. The Wolfpack defense appeared to have atoned for its subpar play to that point by Williams’ fumble at the BC 24-yard line with more than a minute before halftime. It seemed like a golden opportunity for the Pack to carry some momentum into the locker room, but redshirt junior Pete Thomas was sacked

on third down, setting up a field goal attempt for junior kicker Niklas Sade. However, the snap went through the hands of the holder, junior punter Wil Baumann, wasting the opportunity and sending the Pack into halftime still trailing by 10. The Pack was plagued by inconsistent play all afternoon. In many stretches, the offense sputtered when the defense played well, and vice versa. The third quarter illustrated that point. State’s offense went into a shell, going the entire quarter without gaining a first down. But the defense held BC to just three points during that span, keeping the game within reach. State appeared to gain the momentum yet again with some trickery as senior receiver Rashard Smith took an end-around handoff from Thomas and lofted a deep bomb to wide-open senior receiver Quinton Payton, who hauled in the 49-yard touchdown to trim the deficit to 20-14 with eight minutes to

N.C. State’s offense went on a 20-7 run midway through the second half to help the Wolfpack defeat Campbell 81-66 on Saturday night at PNC Arena. The Camels (2-1) trailed for most of the game, but used different defensive sets to keep the game close, coming within five points of the Wolfpack with 11:02 left in the game. But the Wolfpack’s (2-1) aggressive defense forced the Camels into a series of turnovers during its second half run, which State took advantage of on fast breaks. “They threw a lot at us, and I thought our young guys adjusted pretty well and learned how to handle it,” head coach Mark Gottfried said. “It’s hard for a young group sometimes to see that many different things, but it was a good game for us.” “The way Campbell plays makes the game tricky. The backdoor cuts, the way they move the ball, the matchup zone defense, the 1-3-1 zone defense, if you haven’t seen

N.C. State maintained its undefeated record under first-year head coach Wes Moore by beating Presbyterian 85-45 on Saturday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum. “Obviously, it was a good day,” Moore said. “We shot the ball well, and that always gives you a good, warm, fuzzy feeling. In their opener, they held [No. 24] Georgia to 45 points with 19 in the first half, so I came in a little apprehensive.” Senior center Markeisha Gatling and freshman guard Ashley Williams led the Wolfpack (3-0) with 12 points apiece, with senior guard Myisha GoodwinColeman providing 11 points in State’s 40-point victory. Gatling also led the team on the boards, grabbing six rebounds, followed closely by junior guard Breezy Williams with five. “We did a good job of not taking them lightly,” Williams said. “We executed on offense, and it really showed when we started hitting our shots.” Ten different players scored

for State in the contest, and none of them scored less than six points. Senior forward Kody Burke dropped in nine points for the Pack, with junior guard Krystal Barrett adding eight points. “There were a lot of positives on offense,” Moore said. “I’m not excited when we play against the zone because at some point, you’re going to have to knock down some shots, and shooting can be fickle. Fortunately, it was smiling on us in the game.” After exchanging baskets in the first two minutes, State pulled ahead for good and never relinquished its lead. The Pack jumped on a 21-6 run to end the first half, entering halftime with a comfortable 36-21 lead. The Pack’s offense kicked into overdrive in the second half, scoring 14 unanswered points to boost its lead to 33 points. State coasted into victory with an 18-6 run during the last six minutes. The Pack scored 49 points in the second half alone, four more than Presbyterian scored in the entire game. The Pack shot lights out
