Students that want to voice their opinions about health issues can do so today at the second session of the Institute for Emerging Issues forum at the Raleigh Convention Center.

The IEI is an organization that promotes collaboration between companies, organizations and universities to face daily challenges in the fields of health, economy, education and the environment.

The IEI kicked off its 26th annual forum with a Monday meeting to discuss health and healthcare issues in North Carolina. Today, forum attendees will meet again to hear several speakers, such as Gov. Beverly Perdue and Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s medical correspondent.

Key speakers from yesterday’s session included Chancellor Randy Woodson, former Governor James B. Hunt Jr. and Ronald A. Paulus, CEO of Mission Health System. Each orator addressed healthcare and gave their ideas for improving the overall health of the nation.

Paul Cunningham, dean of the East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine, praised local health provider Community Care of North Carolina as an ideal framework for future healthcare advancements.

According to its website, CCNC, formerly known as Access II and III, “is building community health networks organized and operated by community physicians, hospitals, health departments and departments of social services. By establishing regional networks, the program is establishing the local systems that are needed to achieve long-term quality, cost, access and utilization objectives.”

Allen Dobson, president and CEO of CCNC, also delivered a speech at the forum touting the program’s effectiveness in building sustainable local health networks.

IEI held 11 breakout sessions during the forum; each session discussed how innovations in healthcare can be replicated in order to deliver better care, lower costs and create more jobs across the state.

Today’s forum will be from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., with a lunch break. Today’s speakers include Andrew Witty, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline; Mick Cornett, Oklahoma City’s mayor; James R. Gavin III, the Chairman of Partnership for a Healthier America and J. Bradley Wilson, president and CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.

The topics that will be covered include developing and expanding new treatment options, empowering pa-

A break in a gas pipe at the corner of Dan Allen Drive and Faucette Drive snarled traffic and caused the evacuation of a campus laboratory on Monday morning.

According to Campus Police, flying debris from nearby construction site struck the pipe about 8:45 a.m., creating a gas leak. Dan Allen Drive and Faucette Drive west of Dan Allen were closed in order to repair the damage.

Campus Police, the Raleigh Fire Department and several other safety squads reported to the scene.

According to Lt. Larry Ellis from the Campus Police, it is always better to err on the side of caution when dealing with natural gas. The area was cordoned off to protect students and the general public until the threat was neutralized.

“Little leaks can turn into big leaks,” Ellis said.

The Weaver Laboratory Building was evacuated as a precaution, Keith Nichols, director of news and communications with news services, told WRAL.com.

Repair crews worked quickly to prevent any excessive gas leakage, immediately shutting off the flow of gas.

By 9:30 a.m., the hole in the pipe had been plugged by PSNC construction crews. An hour later Dan Allen Drive was reopened, according to Christine Klein, public communication specialist for N.C. State.

Usual traffic flow resumed on Dan Allen and Faucette drives by early Monday afternoon, WRAL.com reported.

Campus authorities allowed students back in the area shortly after the leak was secured.

At press time, no injuries had been reported as a result of the gas leak.

IDs get students discounts at businesses Local merchants seek to solidify ties to student body.

Local businesses are beginning to capitalize on their relationships with the 30,000-plus student body by offering discounts on goods and services.

On Feb. 3, Student Government announced the 11 local businesses, ranging from Ann Taylor to I Love New York Pizza, that will be the first to participate in the new “Wolfpack Student Discounts” program. The program will allow students who present their University IDs at these businesses with a discount on items sold at the store.

Matt Thomas, marketing coordinator for program participant Athlete’s Foot, said the business’ location makes having a productive relationship with members of the N.C. State community a necessity.

“Being so close to campus, we really want to have a good relation-

ship with the University,” Thomas said. “Right now, we have that relationship with the cross-country and track teams. This program would be beneficial to all Raleigh businesses because the University is such a huge part of Raleigh with 30,000 people. It would be really hard to project that anywhere else, so it’s important to have a relationship with such a huge and concentrated market.”

According to Thomas, the Athlete’s Foot store in Cameron Village will offer students a discount on everything in the store - but the retailer wants to go well beyond the program to strengthen its relationship with the University.

“As part of the discount program, we will give all N.C. State students a 10 percent discount off of all regularly priced merchandise, whether it’s footwear, apparel, nutrition, anything,” Thomas said.

“But it’s much more than that. We have sittings with varsity athletes on the track and cross-country teams, and given that they have a shoestring budget—they don’t really get that much help from the University—we

Krispy Kreme Challenge: A tradition of service The Facts:

N.C. State hosted the 6th annual Krispy Kreme Challenge. The challenge had a record number of participants and raised $100,000 for the N.C. Children’s Hospital. The challenge has grown enough to attract people from all over the country.

Our Opinion:

It is great the N.C. State community has banded together to build up the Krispy Kreme Challenge and raise all the money it has over the years. There is nothing stopping students from doing the same thing for the causes and groups they believe in. We are the change we create.

ell done, N.C. State.

You ran, you ate and you vomited for a good cause. You probably did not have to do that last part, but you do what you can to make a difference.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge saw its largest numbers to date and made $100,000 for the N.C. Children’s Hospital.

Public service is a fundamental part of college life and the success of this fairly recent tradition sends a strong message that N.C. State is looking for fun and interesting ways to do its part.

But, the service opportunities on campus are not restricted to food-based feats of athleticism. There are numer-

ous organizations, clubs and fraternities that make public service and charity a part of their mission statement. If you find yourself wishing that you could do more to help people in the community, but could do without the upset stomach, these organizations are easily found and approached.

In this time of budget cuts and turmoil on the basketball court, it is good to see students finding events to give back to the community, bond with each other and show school spirit. And if the charity or public service you wish to see

given attention does not have a student body presence, then you should find a way to make sure it gets the attention you feel it deserves. That is how the Krispy Kreme Challenge got started, and now it is a campus tradition. There is nothing keeping us from giving back.

There is wonderful feeling that accompanies doing good work for the benefit of others.

If you find yourself wishing you had something better do with your time, get in touch with Service Raleigh or any of the other organizations put in place to help connect you with

the people who are looking to make the University and the city better places to live, work and go to school.

Gandhi said, “We must be the change we wish to see.” We do not think he was talking about eating a dozen doughnuts and running four miles, but we are glad to see N.C. State students going out into the community and making a real difference.

It makes us proud to call N.C. State our University, where students actively are the change we wish to see.

girlfriend could give him a thrill he has not had in your relationship for a while.

He may not actually have any intention on acting on anything with this other girl, but it’s exciting to try something new.

If it’s something like that, you need to make sure that your relationship has not fallen into a rut. You should make it a point to go out on dates and have fun instead of always being at home, watching TV and in bed at 10 p.m.

All relationships take work, especially long-term ones. In the beginning everything is new, exciting and worth working for, but as you get more and more comfortable, you forget to actually have fun.

So be honest with him, figure out what’s missing in the relationship. If you feel this person is worth being with, try and save the relationship. This could take a lot of effort, so just be sure this person is really who you want to be with.

If you two do end up working it out, you have to both agree that you trust one another. You should tell him you will not check his texts, and he should agree to talk with about how he is feeling.

The next time you fight, don’t bring it up just to hurt him. You have to both let it go so you can both move on.

Good luck, forgiveness can be difficult, but, along with trust, it is key in any relationship.

Dear Staci, “I have been with my boyfriend for two years. Until about a month ago we were very serious and had even talked about moving in together. Then suddenly he became distant and way more argumentative than normal. I know it was dishonest but I looked at his text messages when he was in the shower one day and saw that he had been texting another girl. I asked him about it and he claims that she is “ just a friend.” I love him and want to believe that he is telling me the truth, but what other explanation could there be for his change in behavior recently? I don’t know what to do. Help!” wo years is what I call “the breaking point” in most relationships. This is when you either decide you are in it for the long haul or decide you are over it. So, this is not an unusual situation.

You obviously don’t trust your boyfriend, or else you wouldn’t have checked his phone. Trust is key in any relationship, and unfortunately, now you have given him a reason not to trust you.

You basically have two options: break it off or try and keep it together. Obviously the first is the easiest of the options. Not emotionally, of course. Break ups are rough, but this is the great thing about dating instead of being married -- it’s easy to get out.

The second option is going to take a lot more work. The first thing you need to do is apologize about going through his phone and try to gain some trust back. You also need to be honest about why you checked his texts in the first place. You also need to tell him how you feel and that you think he has been treating you unfairly. Ask him why he’s been distant and argumentative lately.

Most people who cheat are missing something in their current relationship and they go looking for it elsewhere.

This is not always something physical, but they could be missing something that they used to feel with their boyfriend/girlfriend but don’t anymore.

Beer and politics

A

fter a grueling day at work or class, many students decide to kick back and relax with a cold b e e r. T he immensely Nick popular malt Romanos beverage has Staff Columnist always been a favorite drink of the United States, which produces roughly six billion gallons of it annually. Of this huge mass of beer, nearly 80 percent of it is produced by two companies—MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch. What few realize when posting up at the bar and ordering a cold one is how their favorite drink might be affecting the political landscape. Perhaps, some would change their preferences if they were more aware of what goes on behind the scenes in the world of big beer.

Anheuser-Busch, with a 51 percent share of the U.S. beer market, has been a model citizen in terms of being environmentally progressive. It recycled more than 27 billion cans in 2006, which is greater than the quantity used for all of its domestic packaging. That being said, Anheuser-Busch employs a substantial political action committee. According to OpenSecrets.org, it handed out $710,000 to candidates in the 2010 midterm elections.

MillerCoors LLC seems to have a longer laundry-list of questionable goings on than A n heuser-Busch, despite having a less wealthy PAC ($106,500 spent on the 2010

midterm election). The Coors family has always been a heavy proponent of right-wing politics. One member, Joe Coors, gave a $250,000 grant in 1973 to found The Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy research institute. Chairman Pete Coors went so far as to, unsuccessfully, run for a seat in the U.S. Senate as a republican candidate in 2004. The Coors Company was also the defendant in a 1975 lawsuit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The lawsuit re su lte d i n a settlement forcing Coors to agree not to discriminate against black, Hispanic and female employees.

Merging in 2007, Coors joined forces with SABMiller in an effort to keep up with A n heu s er-Bu s ch ’s g rowing prowess in the U.S. beer market. Recently, the Miller Brewing Company signed a contract to brew college beer favorite, Pabst Blue Ribbon.

It might come as a surprise to more typically liberal college PBR drinkers that their favorite barley beverage is putting money in the pockets of the people behind The Heritage Foundation.

If your aim in drinking is to enjoy the beer and the effects

it has on your body without needing to consider political connections, perhaps it would be better to stay away from big-beer corporations. In North Carolina, new breweries are popping up around the state year after year with colorful brand names ranging from “Big Boss” to “Full Steam.”

These companies focus on the quality of their product over the quantity of the distribution, making t he beer they produce much more f lavorful and generally enjoyable to drink.

This will cause you to drop an extra dollar or two on a six pack, but the added enjoyment in the actual drinking of the beer combined with the general lack of back-door dealings more than makes up for the added cost.

Send Nick Romanos your thoughts on beer and politics to letters@technicianonline.com.

In response to yesterday’s editorial “All we have to blame”— say bravo, Technician. The GOP solution to everything: tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts. Every once in a while they might throw in some reduced spending, but it’s not very often. Any time something breaks, what is their method of fixing it? Tax cuts, which do nothing but put us further into debt.

Tax cuts are like using marshmallows to fix a leaky dam.

They’re weak and they don’t last very long. To the N.C. GOP: quit throwing marshmallows at our problems and start using concrete. Invest in our education system. I’ve been in the N.C. Public School System for over 16 years and I’m damn proud of the degrees I am earning from this University. Education is the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us. GOP, there is a reason why you’ve been out of power in N.C. for the last 100 years—you’re pretty terrible at fixing broken dams and building new ones. I don’t have the solutions for our state’s budget crisis and I don’t pretend to. However, I was not elected to fix our problems like the GOP was.

GOP: invest in our schools don’t take away from us the crucial funding we need to succeed in the classroom and out of it.

Investing in our public schools is an investment in our and your future. We cannot compete with India and China if we don’t have an educational foundation. Now that you’re in charge, how about you actually give a damn; don’t just say you do.

Technician Students present original short films NCSU Libraries hosted An Evening of Short Student Films, showcasing films of five minutes or less.

Laura Wilkinson Features Editor

At the Academy Awards, actors, writers and directors line up to receive awards for films that have people sitting in the theatre for an hour and a half or more. At D.H. Hill Library Thursday night, student filmmakers lined up to showcase their own films —all five minutes or less.

“An Evening of Short Student Films” was designed to give film studies, communications and animation students an opportunity to screen their films for people on campus, said Sarah Stein, an associate professor in the department of communications.

“All the work shown was original work, and each of the producers had a chance to talk about making the piece and to take questions from the audience,” Stein said. “We had [six] animators, one digital video producer and seven 16 mm filmmakers. All of the entrants are students who are studying the concepts, theory, aesthetics and craft of making cinematic productions.”

The films had to meet the criteria of students’ specific course assignments, but other than that, students were free to choose any topic they liked, Stein said. “…We saw an amazing range of topics, from science fiction

futurist visions, to experiments in composition, lighting and typography—all wrapped in engaging narratives,” Stein said.

According to Marian Fragola, director of planning and outreach for NCSU Libraries, the films had to be short, from 30 seconds to no more than five minutes. The shortest film was 35 seconds, and the longest was four minutes and 57 seconds.

“If artists can create a really compelling short film, they have achieved a great deal. We all know how easily you can be turned off watching something even for 30 seconds that doesn’t engage you,” Stein said.

Matt Harris, a senior in arts applications, conspicuously incorporated artificial light in his film, Duplicate. “[Duplicate] asks the question: ‘What if our reflection existed outside the mirror, on the other side of the glass?’ It is an attempt to highlight the similarities that we all share in our daily routines,” Harris said.

Harris said he drew on elements from the film Primer —specifically the concept of duplication.

“I used software to composite shots of the same actor into the same shot. I spent most of my time editing these special effects,” Harris said.

According to Fragola, NCSU Libraries would like to do the event again, “as it was wellreceived by attendees, and the filmmakers enjoyed participating.”

“In the Garden with Bryce Lane,” produced by a team from N.C. State, won an Emmy Award at 25th MidSouth Chapter.

Brooke Shafranek Staff Writer

During the live broadcast of the 25th annual Mid-South Regional Emmy Awards, the presenter was about to announce the winner in the Informational/ Instructional series category. A few moments later, Bryce Lane heard his name called, and he and his team stepped up onto the stage to accept their award. Everything in Lane’s world “felt surreal.”

Bryce Lane, distinguished professor of horticultural science, is the host and main content coordinator of “In the Garden with Bryce Lane,” an entertaining and educational public television program aired on Saturdays at noon on UNC-TV. The show is entering its ninth season and represents a joint effort between Lane, producer Sonya Williams Harris, videographer and editor Simone Keith and graphics specialist John Vanaman. The entire team works at N.C. State.

Lane has received a number of awards throughout his 30 years of teaching, but according to the professor, it’s “nothing quite like this.”

Although winning the award was an amazing moment for Lane, it wasn’t altogether unexpected.

“I thought we had a good chance [at winning the Emmy], because the show we do is very unique, because it is a hybrid of Photo courtesty of David Hoffman entertainment and education,” Lane said.

Nintendo 3DS vs. PlayStation NGP Two new challengers enter the handheld gaming arena Story By Jordan Alsaqa | photos from Nintendo and sony

R

umored for months before the event, Nintendo debuted its latest handheld device in 2010, the Nintendo 3DS, a successor to its popular DS. The months following the event have been filled with further details on the system and its new features. The major selling point for the 3DS is the inclusion of glasses-free 3D technology, along with an updated graphical engine and the introduction of an analog stick, dubbed the “slide pad.”

Along with the rollout of 3DS information, the backend of 2010 was also full of rumors that Sony was preparing to announce its own next generation portable system. Recently, Sony did just that, unveiling the next console in its PlayStation Portable line.

Sony has brought several new features to the table. A new graphical engine is powering the system, and for the first time on a portable system, there are dual analog sticks along with the directional pad. Further, following off the success of the Nintendo DS, a touchpad has been placed on the rear of the system.

Now, with less than two months until the March 25 release of the 3DS, what remains to be seen is which system will end up with the support of gamers behind it. Though

much will likely change in the the PSP in this last generation,” industry before both systems Edwards said.

Most of Nintendo’s success are on the market, numerous factors can be used to predict stems from the support of both first and third party developers. the probable outcome.

The most important factor to The biggest problem Sony had consider is the history of both with the PSP was the lack of Nintendo and Sony’s success in consistent support.

as the lack of third party titles was one of the key failings of the PSP. Jesse Divnich, of Electronic Entertainment Design and Research, pointed out the reason for the fall off in support the PSP saw.

“Long-term, concerns about Sony’s digital strategy, lack of publisher incentive and piracy,” Divnich said, “ultimately resulted in a decreasing support from third-party publishers and a reduction in retail shelf space.”

Sony will likely need to address these issues of piracy if it hopes to keep developers interested in its new portable.

Another key issue to consider is the price of the systems. The 3DS is releasing at $249.99, equal to the original price of Nintendo’s home console, the Wii. The high price of the system has come under question by some, but many also predict that the NGP will cost far more.

Sony has a history of launching systems priced far higher than its competition. The PSP cost $249.99 itself, which suggests that gamers should expect a higher price point for its successor.

It is clear, though, that the coming console battle may be an uphill battle for Sony, unless it can improve its game plan from the PSP. GameStop senior vice president of mer-

chandising and marketing, Bob McKenzie, felt the PSP has continued to perform poorly even to this day.

“If I were to pick a disappointment in 2010, the only thing I would be looking at is the number of titles that launched on the PSP format compared to the prior year,”

McKenzie said in a recent interview.

Overall, the success of the 3DS or the NGP will come down to not only its price, but the support and number of titles they receive during their lifecycles. The competition will begin with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS next month.

showing too much New series from UK may be pushing child pornography laws.

Katie Handerhan Staff Writer

Skins, a transplant television series from the UK, is hitting the fan and catching the attention of young teens around the U.S. The series follows a handful of 15 to 18-year-olds who suck down beer, swallow anything that remotely resembles a pill and do whatever it takes to get some. Has MTV gone too far this time?

Deeming Skins “the most dangerous show ever”, the Parent’s Television Council, a nonprofit organization promoting responsible entertainment, is attempting to charge the show with violating federal child pornography statues and exploitation of minors.

Created by Brian Esley and Jamie Brittian, the first episode of Skins aired January 2005 in the UK. The series focuses on teens in Bristol, England as they embark on adventures slammed full of sex, drugs and more sex.

With four seasons already under the UK creators’ belt, the show has been a huge success in the UK winning an awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

Following the show’s success, Esley said stations have been pestering the creators of the UK phenomenon to partner up and develop a U.S. version of the show for quite some time.

Despite hopeful creators’ efforts, Esley claims their pitches were not good enough. That is of course, until MTV came around.

“MTV had the clearest vision,” Esley said of the host station, according to NYMAG. com. “I think that [MTV] is a channel that’s changing. It’s a channel that can deal with a little bit of anarchism.”

Early signs indicate Esley made the right decision. According to The Los Angeles Times, the first episode of MTV’s version of Skins aired on January 18th raking in 3.3 million viewers.

The Pa rents Telev ision Council, on the other hand, has spoken out against MTV’s standards.

It said, “It appears that MTV is deliberately trying to establish a new standard for what is considered acceptable for kids.”

Many companies seem to agree and have pulled advertising from the show in response to the Council’s rage. Wrigley, Proactiv, Subway and Taco Bell have cut their commercials out of Skins’ airtime.

According to msnbc.com, Taco Bell dropped the show because they “decided that the show is not a fit” for their brand and have “moved advertising to other MTV programming”.

Despite the mature audience warning at the start of the show, Brian Stelter, a reporter from the New York Times, said 1.2 million of the show’s viewers were under 18.

According to the MTV press, the age demographics of viewers the night of the premiere were between the ages of 12 and 34.

The Parent’s Telev ision Council also wants Congress

to investigate Skins for a child pornography and the exploitation of minors.

MTV’s Nathaniel Brown defends the show’s dignity.

“Skins is a show that addresses real-world issues confronting teens in a frank way,” Brown said. “We review all our shows and work with all our producers on an ongoing basis to ensure our shows com-

ply with laws and community ally suggestive.”

The MTV website states that standards.” Brown goes on to say that he is confident that the the youngest member of the episodes of Skins will comply cast is 15, a minor.

MTV also recently threw a premier party in Manhattan that allowed kids as young as 16 to attend.

MTV Programming chief, David Janollari, comments that the negative reaction to Skins isn’t something new.

“You’re always going to have haters,” Janollari said. “MTV is no stranger to that kind of reaction, most recently with Jersey Shore and going all the way back to Jackass.”

The Parent’s Telev ision Council’s threat of child pornography charges aren’t putting a damper on the shows existence, and the show isn’t leaving anytime soon.

“We’re in it for the long run” Janollari said.

Samantha Goodwin, a sophomore in biology, is not surprised by MTV’s “convictions.”

“It’s MTV. What do you expect?” said Goodwin. “That’s why I don’t watch MTV.”

run the two miles (because of all the people), 20 minutes to eat the dozen donuts, and 20 minutes to run back.

Boy was I wrong.

I sloshed through the first two miles with no problem, perfectly on time like I hoped. The line to get the doughnuts slowed me down.

All I could think about was how hungry I was and how tasty and warm the sugary treats would be. I was wrong about that too. As I opened the box, water spilled out the side. They were soggy and cold.

At doughnut No. 6 I started feeling like 12 was not going to happen. My eyes were bigger than my stomach.

But I signed up to be a challenger, so I was going to eat as many as possible.

I got to doughnut No. 9, and my stomach was about to explode. With 17 minutes to get to the finish line, I made an executive decision and passed on finishing all the doughnuts, electing to try and accomplish at least one of my goals –finishing in less than an hour.

The two miles back were steep, uphill and much harder with cramps in my side. In my delirious state of runner’s adrenaline and sugar overdose from the doughnuts, signs like “Donut stop believing” made me laugh out loud, but were also somewhat motivating.

When I finally sprinted across the finish line, my watch read 59:53. Awesome,

Courtesy of Alex Hadley

Rebecca Fiorentino attempts to force down the final few doughnuts before heading back to the finish line.

I just made it. I could smell vomit, but at the time, I barely cared, the only thing on my mind at that point in time, was a hot 30-minute shower and a two hour nap, so I immediately headed straight to my dorm.

I finished as the 694th female, which I thought was pretty good considering there were about 7,500 registered people there.

I’ll never look at a doughnut the same way again. I wanted to do this challenge before I graduated. With one of two objections complete, I have not yet decided if I will come back next year to finish the job. I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

Quote of the day “The thing that makes me think of basketball more than anything else is going into Reynolds and smelling the popcorn.”

Gopack.com editor Tim Peeler

Did You know?

Freshman point guard Ryan Harrow is leading the ACC in free throw percentage at .937.

Remembering Reynolds’ historic past

“House that Case built” helped put State basketball on the map in the South

championship winning basketball teams - it also represents a bevy of spectacular memories and a resounding impact that still resonates to this day.

tioned for an arena that could serve as a proper meeting place for the booming agricultural expositions. Due to World War II and a large concentration on creating housing for new students, the arena would be left untouched for eight years.

During that span of time, the man who would quite literally shape Reynolds Coliseum into what it is today came onto the scene. Coach Everett Case arrived at State in 1946 with intentions of forming the Wolfpack into a winner. Within two years, Case’s successful teams forced the demand for State

Catching up with Nate Irving

Glazed and Confused

Former Wolfpack linebacker just got finished with the Senior Bowl and has been invited to the NFL Combine

My first ever Krispy Kreme Challenge Rebecca Fiorentino Staff Writer

Cory Smith Deputy Sports Editor

In late June of 2009, former linebacker Nate Irving suffered a collapsed lung, broken rib, separated shoulder and a compound fracture in his leg after a near-fatal automobile accident and did not know if he would ever have the opportunity to play football again in his life. Irving actually told reporters after the accident that he “felt blessed just to be alive.”

After his 2010 season, he is not only back playing the sport he loves, but he is being recognized as one of the top linebacker prospects in the nation.

Irving had his best collegiate season during the 2010 campaign, and earned several accolades along the way. He was named to the All-ACC first team, the Walter Camp second team, the AP All-America third team and the 2010 ACC Brian Piccolo Award winner, which is given to the “most courageous player in the ACC.” Now, Irving is on a long list of NFL prospects for this year’s draft, but he has already earned the honor of the No. 6 overall inside linebacker. While he is projected to be chosen in the 4th or 5th round, Irving has been invited to the NFL Combine to raise his draft stock.

Irving also participated in the Senior Bowl – a game that annually pits the top seniors in college football against each other. The

Senior linebacker, Nate Irving, celebrates after tackling a West Virginia player the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando Florida on Dec. 28, 2010. Irving, who had four tackles and one sack, helped the Wolfpack achieve a 23-7 victory over the Mountaineers bringing their overall record to 9-4.

biggest part of the game is that scouts get a close look at all of the top seniors before the combine and the draft.

Technician spoke with Irving about the combine, Senior Bowl, the draft and much more:

everyday I was out there.

Technician: I know you just got done with the Senior Bowl, how did everything go?

Irving: Everything went well.

It was nice to meet some of the best players and coaches before the draft and get to know them on a more personal level.

Technician: I know there was a lot of talk about you and Mark Herzlich being the two linebackers chosen for the Senior Bowl from the ACC. With both of you following similar paths to this point, do you see any similarities between you two?

Irving: Herzlich looks like he’s having fun all the time.

He’s a lot like me because he is always full of energy. He appreciates the chance that he got to play football just like I do.

Technician: Do you feel that you improved your status after playing and practicing in the Senior Bowl?

Irving: I really don’t know what they were saying about me. They weren’t really in my face, so I’m not sure what they thought. If they thought that I looked good then I will take it in stride, because I was trying to maximize the experience

Technician: With the NFL Combine coming up on Feb. 24, what have you been doing to prepare yourself?

Irving: I’m down in Texas right now at a camp doing a lot of speed training and in the mornings we lift weights.

We focus our efforts on what we can improve on and get a taste of what it’s going to be like out there.

Technician: With you being in Texas, did you get to see the Super Bowl?

Irving: Yeah, I actually went to the Super Bowl. I met a few guys out here and got the chance to go with some of them. That was an awesome experience. I went more as a fan though, just hoping to see a good football game.

Technician: With all the talk of a potential lock-out this season in the NFL, how do you feel about that whole situation?

Irving: Man, I just want to play football. Everyone just wants to play football.

I’ve been waiting to play in the NFL, but everything happens for a reason. I just unfortunately have to sit back and see what happens.

When my alarm went off at 6:45 a.m., all I wanted to do was pull my covers back up and continue sleeping. But I had heard plenty of rumors about the consequences of getting there late or right on time. At the very back of the line, it takes you five minutes to cross the starting line. I’m a very competitive person, so I did not want that to happen to me for my first Krispy Kreme Challenge.

I got to the starting line with 30 minutes until race time. I went with some friends, and we were about 20 yards from the big “Start” sign. It was 36 degrees, my clothes were already soaking wet from the relentless rain, my hair was drenched and my fingers and toes were close to chipping right off.

There were already thousands of people lined up behind us. The rain kept coming down, but luckily we made friends with someone who had an umbrella. As I stood there wearing my three layers of clothing, the goose bumps on the exposed skin of these crazy kids in front of me, wearing almost nothing, was clearly visible. I could not imagine what it would be like to run without a shirt on in that weather, or even barefoot like the guy who wore the doughnut on top of his head.

Five minutes until race time, I started getting anxious. My goal was to either eat 12 doughnuts or finish in less than an hour. If I could do both, even better. I estimated that it would take me about 20 minutes to
