HBO seeks to adapt N.C. State professor’s novel into TV series Kevin deMontbrun Correspondent
Though professors typically publish their work, one N.C. State professor may get the opportunity to showcase his literary work on the small screen. Wilton Barnhardt, an author and a creative writing professor at N.C. State, signed a contract with HBO to potentially create a television serious based on his latest novel, Lookaway, Lookaway!
The novel was published last year, on July 1, 2013, and it took about five years of careful writing and editing. Since then, it has garnered attention and critical acclaim as a New York Times, National Public Radio and Indie Bound bestseller. Now, HBO has optioned it as potential comedy TV series. The novel follows the lives of a southern American family living in Charlotte, North

‘Mass Moral March’ draws 80,000 people Chris Hart-Williams Staff Writer
Tens of thousands of people marched through downtown Raleigh to express their discontent with policies implemented by Gov. Pat McCrory and the N.C. General Assembly Saturday. Rev. William Barber II, president of the N.C. Chapter of the NAACP, and members of 150 other advocacy groups participated in the Historic Thousands on Jones Street “Mass Moral March” to protest policies partaining to voter ID, Medicaid expansion, cuts to education, women’s reproductive rights, LGBT rights and fracking. Though the City of Raleigh permit was

only for 20,000 attendees, the march, which began at Shaw University is estimated to have drawn between 80,000 and 100,000 people, according to the N.C. NAACP. “We return to Raleigh with a renewed strength and a new sense of urgency,” Barber said. Barber said students are important to what he called a “movement for social justice,” and without their support, marches such as the one that occurred on Saturday would not have continued, no would they carry the same power.

Double Barrel Benefit concert begins first night in new venue Grant Golden Staff Writer
Every year WKNC, N.C. State’s student-run radio station, holds its Double Barrel Benefit Concert, a showcase of the finest acts that North Carolina has to offer. In previous years the event was typically a back-to-back, two-day event held in Raleigh, most recently at The Pour House downtown.

More than 7,700 runners participated in the 10th annual Krispy Kreme Challenge Saturday, raising exactly $200,000 for the N.C. Children’s Hospital and setting a new record for the fundraiser. The Krispy Kreme Challenge was started by a group of N.C. State Park Scholar students to help fund the North Carolina Children’s Hospital. To date, more than $750,000 have been raised to help the hospital, with more than 25 percent of that sum being raised this
year. Michael Harrison, a junior in industrial engineering, was the main organizer and director of the event. “Ultimately, it was a fulfilling experience organizing this race,” Harrison said. “We put in a lot of hours. We had a number of challenges such as seeking sponsorship, fundraising and logistics. All of this somewhat difficult to do as a student, but at the end of the day it was a very worthwhile experience.” Some of the participants dressed in costumes for the costume contest, making the

Anthropologist discusses ethics of service, medicine Steven Denny Correspondent
Medical professionals working for Doctors Without Borders must consistently make choices about which patients they can treat in their field of work, according to Peter Redfield, an anthropology professor at UNC-Chapel Hill. Redfield, the author of Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors Without Borders, spoke to students and faculty members Friday afternoon in the 1911 Building. According to Redfield, DWB faces turnover rates of about 30 percent during doctors’ and nurses’ first year of work. In addition to

high-turnover rates, DWB faces problems on a different front, Redfield said. If the media emphasizes a single crisis, putting others on backlog, DWB must react accordingly. This can force the hand in where DWB’s aid is placed. According to Redfield, a seemingly independent nonprofit is thus forced to become reliant on the media. Medical professionals from France founded Doctors Without Borders in the early 1970s to promote humanitarian aid for international crises. According to Redfield, the organization proclaims that its mission is to contribute impartial-humanitarian

overall race unique. At the conclusion of the race, costume contest winners received $200 gift cards to Raleigh restaurants. “It was really cold,” said Marina Hoggan, a freshman in biology. “I couldn’t eat nearly as many donuts as I thought I could. My friend actually ate all the 12 donuts. I ate one donut, and, after one, I don’t think I could eat any more.”
Hoggan finished the challenge in less than an hour. However, some students did eat the entire dozen donuts. “As my first time as a casual runner in the Krispy Kreme Challenge, I felt the sugar rush after eating the 12 donuts, and that gave me the energy to get through the race,” said Patrick Leasure, a senior in paper science engineering. Overall, some students said they enjoyed the experience despite the challenges. “It was a long five miles,” Leasure
said. “I wasn’t expecting it to be as windy. Being a runner on an everyday basis, it was challenging. This is the number one thing on my bucket list.” According to Ryan King, a junior in mechanical engineering, and one of the organizers of the event, about 18 percent of the runners this year were N.C. State students. “In November, I had the opportunity to visit the North Carolina Children’s Hospital and see our money in action,” Harrison said. “Hospital staff showed off Bruce, a
high-tech pediatric training manikin paid for by a Promise Grant that our race funded.” Additionally, some of the money given to the hospital has been used to assist families of sick children and expand the Sexual Abuse Nurse Examiner program. “The Krispy Kreme Challenge is entirely student-run, so many would consider us to be at a disadvantage,” Harrison said. “However, I found that working with a wide variety of students, the majority of whom are Park Scholars, made organizing

State students who finished in the top 10. After the conclusion of the race at 10:00 am, the streets in Raleigh were then reopened. “Being able to be a part of this race is one of the most unique and meaningful experiences of my life,” Harrison said.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called upon us to be, echoing the God of our mothers and fathers in the faith,” Barber said. “Now is the time. Here is the place. We are the people. And we will be heard.” Lauryn Collier, president of the N.C. State NAACP chapter, said she was amazed because HKonJ was comparable to the other movements in the 60s because people are fighting for the same rights as they were 50 years ago. “We were in awe of how many people came out to the march and the diversity of people fighting for the same issues,” Collier said. “One of the conversations we had out there was how a movement like the moral march truly defines diversity.” Student groups came from across the state as well, such as
Youth Against Rape Culture of Chapel Hill, East Carolina University’s College Democrats, NC HEAT, and Manpower Development Corp of Durham, an education and labor advocacy group. Ivanna Gonzales of MRDC and recent graduate of UNCChapel Hill joined a handful of other students who shared the stage with Barber. There they outlined why they joined the march and have been leaders in mobilizing students for several others. “I am a proud Latina immigrant,” Gonzales said. “I will not rest until all people are welcome.” Gonzales spoke about the rights of immigrants and her displeasure with some of the state’s leadership.

The importance of Dylan Farrow’s voice
W
hat’s your favorite Woody Allen movie?” D yla n Fa r row, adopted daughter of celebrated actress Mia Farrow and famed director and actor Woody Allen, asked us this question in her open letter to Allen published in The New York Times on Feb. 1, her words dripping with deserved venom. Farrow goes on to state that before anyone answers, they should know: “When I was Justine Schnitzler seven years old…Woody AlStaff Columnist len sexually assaulted me.” Things had come to a boil after Farrow reportedly asked her mother if “Daddy touched you like he touches me.” Her mother took Farrow to a slew of doctors and lawyers, all of whom asked her over and over again to repeat her story, making sure there were no inconsistencies. Contact between Farrow and Allen was immediately cut off. The newspaper headlines had a field day with the revelation that Allen may have taken advantage of his own daughter. In her open letter, Farrow writes that, “After a custody hearing denied my father visitation
rights, my mother declined to pursue criminal charges, despite findings of probable cause by the State of Connecticut—due to, in the words of the prosecutor, the fragility of the ‘child victim.’” The case was dismissed, and more than 20 years have passed since Hollywood was first shaken by the very notion that Allen, creator of classic films such as Annie Hall, Sleeper and, most recently, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris, was capable of hurting his daughter. More upsetting was Allen’s public statement that the entire case was Mia Farrow’s doing: He claims she conspired to publicly tear him down as their personal relationship deteriorated, by planting a story in Dylan’s head. He claims she coached their daughter so well that she “logically” believes she has been abused, even if he maintains the very idea of an assault on his part is absurd. “Of course I didn’t molest Dylan,” he wrote in his response this week to Farrow’s open letter, as if claims of sexual abuse and the years of trauma and humiliation that have defined Farrow’s childhood and later years could be brushed aside with a nonchalant response such as “of course I didn’t.” In 1997, Allen married another adopted
daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, who was about 20 at the time. (Her exact birthdate is unknown, as the place of her birth did not keep accurate records.) Although this doesn’t condemn Allen as a child molester, his relationship with Previn, a child legally adopted in his name, doesn’t help his case. Why has the Dylan Farrow case come to the forefront of national attention again? Last month, at the annual Golden Globe Awards, Allen was honored with the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. Immediately following the awards ceremony, Ronan Farrow, the other child adopted by Mia Farrow and Allen, tweeted, “Missed the Woody Allen tribute—did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age seven before or after Annie Hall?” When the abuse allegedly took place, Farrow was only seven years old. Now, in light of Allen’s Academy Award nominations and in the wake of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Farrow has chosen to come forward and admonish those who have stood by her father over the years, lauding praise on his work while side-stepping the allegations and fear she has lived with her entire life. In her open letter she says, “Imagine your
“The solution was born in the United States and spread across the rest of the world.” Information technology, if it has to become a ubiquitous problem-solver, must learn to respect geography. To understand that, one must first understand existence of problems. A rough categorization will help me prove my point. Most problems arise out of social, economic, physical and geographical environment of the problem-bearer. Problembearers are either single or plural. Problems ailing a community or a state are often social, economic or cultural in nature; for example, poverty, illiteracy, and, for that matter, even rape and racism. The physical and geographical ones are often distinct, such as communication, knowledge, locomotion, etc. The problem of lack of instant information was solved by the advent of the smartphone and the Internet. The smartphone was a solution to a universal problem. Hence, it thrived everywhere. This is a problem that was well-addressed by technology. The so-

lution was born in the United States and spread across the rest of the world. Everyone welcomed it because it solved a fundamental problem, but traffic planning should have been addressed differently. Here in the U.S., roads are filled with cars, and a two-wheeled vehicle is a rare sight. Hence, lanes are elegant, simple and solve the problem very nicely. Yet, in other geographies, which make up the majority of the world, there are more two-wheeled vehicles than four-wheeled ones. Lanes cannot be structured the same way they are structured in the U.S. When two-wheeled vehicles are the majority, lanes cannot be structured for cars. Traffic planning demands originality and innovation. Few governments recognize this mismatch in problem, space and solutions, and thus, diagnose this problem incorrectly. Technology must innovate. Most of the technological solutions are invented in the West, for the West. Blindly porting them to the East might help prevent some problems, but they cannot become cures. For example, the modernization of a city into a metropolitan is a favorable trend in the West. Yet, most of the developing countries in the East are a distributed populace. The typical Eastern country consists of millions of smaller, rural communities. Metropolitanization of cities results in villages, drained of their intellect, migrating to the cities. But the cities are too small to accommodate the growing population and result in side effects such as lack of traffic sense, hygiene and space. These are only the more visible side effects that are apparent to a skilled diagnostician. But there are other hidden ones that take their toll slowly, like rusting of iron. In the above context, this refers to the psychological adjustments that villagers who migrate to cities must go through, the pain of separation and exploitation by the hands of the rich and powerful. I am not against development. But technology needs to understand the difference between the development models of the East and that of the West. Problem spaces change drastically across hemispheres, too. Africa has problems that need a kaleidoscopic viewing. Multifaceted and intricate, the societal structure is not like that in the West. Religion, caste and color hold unequal weights as opposed to the uniformity found across the U.S. and Europe. Technology cannot represent a master key. It will not fit into all the locks in the world, and it will take time and effort for technologists to understand the rises and troughs that open locks across different countries and continents.

Understanding the technological mismatch Diagnostics is probably the most non-medicinal subject in medicine. Diagnostic Handbook, written by Esagilkin-apli, the most extensive medical text of the last millennium B.C., introduces empirical deductions and logic in the field of medicinal diagnosis. Diagnosis of an ailment is wrought with ambiguities such as incomplete medical history of a patient, dynamic environment that the patient Naman lived in, a many-to-many reMuley Staff Columnist lationship between symptoms and ailments, etc. A skilled diagnostician, likely a veteran in the field, is often like a blind man, touching, smelling and watching reactions of his movements on the subject to deduce the true nature of his quarry. Often in that process, the diagnostician employs treatments that are incorrect solutions, which results in undesirable side effects. Hence, diagnostics holds a unique description: the study of finding problems. Once you know the problem, the treatments are a simple matter of reading textbooks.

Though it’s unlikely the case will legally be reopened, the swirl of public fury surrounding Allen at the moment will likely impact the voting decisions of the Academy when Oscar winners are determined. Though I agree that artistic work and achievement usually stands apart from personal decisions—it has been pointed out to me many times that Martin Luther King Jr. reportedly had affairs outside of his marriage, which does not impact the work he did for the Civil Rights Movement—Allen is accused of crossing the line from morally frowned-upon into morally apprehensible. It is of vital importance that we listen to Farrow’s words and take them into consideration when evaluating how our culture and justice system treat the rich and famous, and also survivors of sexual abuse.

Bravely Default mixes nostalgia with retro style Bravely Default
Developer: Silicon Studio/Square Enix Publisher: Square Enix
Bryce Hart Staff Writer
Bravely Default, which is a video game developed by the creators of the Final Fantasy series, is a tribute to old school role-playing games, but it has a modern feel. Bravely Default manages to mix the nostalgia of retro role-playing games, while also being fresh through new gameplay mechanics, a vibrant art style and an engaging story with fun characters. Bravely Default’s story revolves around a boy named Tiz who wakes up to find his village destroyed. When he goes to see what happened to his village, he meets a girl named Agnès, who is being chased by enemies threatening the main kingdom in the land. The duo meets two more characters and begins a grand adventure to bring order to the world. Though the first four chapters of Bravely Default’s story are fun and engaging, the final chapter is a chore. The final chapter quickly becomes repetitive and wearing. However, the game gives players many options to help reduce this repetition and the parts leading up to it more than make up for the end. The difficulty of the game is fully customizable, including the rate at which the player encounters battles, the ability to stop earning experience (used to level up) if the player has gotten too strong and the ability to call

However, for 2014—the 11th year of the fundraising concert—the radio station decided to branch out with its annual festival by splitting the event between two weekends and two venues: Cat’s Cradle, in Carrboro, and the Lincoln Theatre, in Raleigh. Friday’s event marked the first night of the festival and showcased a truly impressive array of talents from the area. Combining swiftly rising upstarts such as Ghostt Bllonde and T0W3RS, and highly revered gatekeepers such as Hammer No More, The Fingers and The Love Language, WKNC packed out the Cat’s Cradle for an evening of wildly energetic sets from some of the regions most beloved acts. Raleigh’s Ghostt Bllonde kicked off the evening in front of a burgeoning crowd, setting a brisk and frenetic pace for the rest of the night. The band’s set was filled with highlights from its debut album TrashPop/DoomWop, a few new tunes and a cover that frontman Marc Kuzio proclaimed “your grandparents might know.” Its fuzzed out take on 50s pop sentiments shone through as Kuzio’s vocals gracefully swung in and out of sequential croons and shouts, all the

in other players from the internet to help in a battle. Bravely Default takes traditional turn-based combat and adds two major aspects to battles alongside the internet (or local play) options. The first new ability is to “brave” which allows the player to do extra actions during a turn at the cost of future turns. For example, the player can have a character attack four times in one turn, but that character will not be able to act again for three extra turns. The second new ability is to “default” which allows the player to defend for a turn and save
while keeping up with punk-tinged rhythms. Carrboro’s T0W3RS took the stage next and proved that you don’t need a backing band to rock out the massive Cat’s Cradle. Though T0W3RS previously served as a psychedelic indie rock outlet for songwriter Derek Torres’ mystifying musings, it’s transformed into an electronically infused solo project that leans more toward LCD Soundsystem than anything else. Torres brought along a minimalistic lighting set-up that framed the tenacious vocalist in an entrancing manner, creating a rich environment to soak in the funky electropop grooves. Opening with the Lonnie Walker cover that brought Torres his initial attention within the local scene, he bounced and bobbed his way through a ton of new material and a fan-favorite from his previous Wyatt EP as well. Torres’ solo work was easily the standout of the evening, serving as many people’s debut into the new era of T0W3RS. Grizzled area vets Hammer No More The Fingers brought its quirky indie rock out as the penultimate act of the evening, playing a career spanning collection of tunes that had hundreds of area supporters shouting and swaying along.

Carolina. Members of the family are wealthy constituents of high society, and according to Barnhardt, their high class status masks many of their problems. A number of these issues are based on the clash between traditional southern culture and the more modern culture of the New South. Barnhardt said he doesn’t believe it is an average southern comedy, however. It delves into modern, controversial territory such as race, gender and sexuality. “It’s a funny book, and I think that’s what appealed to the producers,” Barnhardt said. “They’d like to do something funny with the New South, not the usual old comedy like Beverly Hillbillies or Dukes of Hazard. They wanted to do something about how people really live right now.” Though a number of books are made into films, which in Barnhardt’s perspective is every creative author’s dream, Lookaway, Lookaway! has been proposed to become a television series. This surprised Barnhardt, but for him it was a nice surprise. “ TV is now the place where really fine writing is happening,” Barnhardt said. “They’re
that turn for later. If the player defaults one turn, they will defend and then on the next turn they are able to attack twice with no penalty. These systems require the player to plan and use the abilities together, making the combat experience generally feel more fun. Though for some battles the idea of all four characters attacking four times in one turn for 16 attacks total seems enticing, the player is forced to remember that if the battle is not over all four characters must wait extra turns before they can do anything at all.
Bravely Default’s features a fun job system. Each character can have a job such as knight, monk, mage, ninja and many others. The character’s job affects their main abilities and equipment and a character can be further customized by giving them the abilities of a second job alongside the first. Also the player has the ability to rebuild Tiz’s village in an ongoing side game to be able to use new weapons, items and abilities in the main game. By using the 3DS’s streetpass feature or the internet, the player can repopulate Tiz’s village and build new shops. The more villagers that build something the faster it will be built. The village is a fun addition that is always going on in the background of the game. Bravely Default does not make the village feel like a chore and all the options related to it are optional. The art style in the game is incredibly well done. Characters walk on backgrounds that look like they were hand-painted. The graphics are well done for the 3DS, and the characters themselves are stylized in a neat way. The music in the game is another huge plus. Each score sounds wonderful and is very catchy, especially the world map theme. Using headphones for this game is almost a must because the 3DS’s speakers are not the best. Bravely Default brings back the feeling of older role-playing games and improves upon the older systems of combat. Along with a beautiful game world, great music and a wonderful story, Bravely Default positions itself as one of the best role-playing games in years.

the devotion that the area bands and scene has for this band shows clearly. Acts such as Ghostt Bllonde drew heavily from the standards set by acts such as Hammer and seeing the evening’s acts all come together throughout the evening serves as a testament to this scene’s inclusiveness. Throughout the night that performers could be seen looming over the stage on the backstage balcony, singing along as fervently as the concertgoers. As The Love Language took the stage, the venue was brimming with excitement. Throughout the evening, WKNC DJs raffled off tickets
saying it’s the golden age of television. And part of that is because television really respects writers, and they let writers write really articulate, literate scripts.” As one of the writers for the upcoming series, Barnhardt will be able to take part in the creation of these scripts and continue his affiliation with the story. Not only that, but he will also serve as a co-executive producer of the show, which will further his ability to make decisions involving the characters and plot of the series. “It would be hard for them to change the characters radically without my permission,” Barnhardt said. “But they don’t want to do that anyway. Why would they buy it if they wanted to make something totally different?” As a work of fiction is interpreted into a television or movie plot, the story is bound to encounter changes. Barnhardt said he is optimistic the changes will only advance the plot of the novel, instead of creating a story that is entirely different. “We’ll have to make up whole new adventures for these characters,” Barnhardt said. “I sort of thought I’d finished the book and that was it for these people. But I’m very excited about it. I’m there to help them create the spirit of the book over several seasons.” However, the spirit of the book will grow and change as the television show progresses.
for highly anticipated events such as the upcoming Chrvches show, gift certificates to Top of the Hill and Bull City Records, and bags of LPs from area record stores such as Sorry State—so by the time the headliners took the stage the venue’s energy level was palpable. As The Love Language beamed with appreciation for WKNC, the night took a celebratory turn shifting from a benefit concert to a funloving sing-along. The band trekked through anthemic songs from their three LPs, performing fan favorites like “Heart to Tell,” “Lalita,” “Brittany’s Back” and much more throughout their expansive set. Stu
The premise of the series will be based not only on current characters of the novel, but also new characters that will be introduced. “I know that we want to populate Charlotte a little more and come up with other families,” Barnhardt said. “We want to look at high society across the spectrum including black high society. We want a lot more of Charlotte represented.” The pilot episode will be executive produced by Sue Naegle and David Miner, two experienced producers who have played a role in popular shows such as Game of Thrones and Parks and Recreation. Even so, only about one in 50 optioned pilot episodes makes it to a television series no matter the talent of those involved. Also, a series needs a certain amount of planning before it finally airs. According to Barnhardt, the pilot episode of Lookaway, Lookaway! may not be filmed until 2015, but once the script is composed, the speed of production should increase. “Television has tons of planning in the foreground,” Barnhardt said. “Then it will take off. No one has a life for about three months.” Even though the chances of the pilot episode becoming a series may be slim, Barnhardt said he continues to think ahead. “What if this thing goes for years and years?” Barnhardt said. “You need to plan
McLamb’s voice rang out throughout the crowded venue for slower tunes like “Manteo” and the crowd raised a chorus as they shouted back the song’s lyrics. As the band came out for its encore it was clear that the increased scope of this year’s event paid off in bunches. Previous years saw venues like The Pour House at capacity, but a packed out Cat’s Cradle boasts nearly twice that attendance level. With yet another evening of highly lauded local acts still ahead for Valentine’s Day at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre, it looks like WKNC’s annual fundraiser just took quite the jump in importance.

Clooney’s latest film is less than monumental The Monuments Men Columbia Pictures
Bryce Hart Staff Writer
The Monuments Men is George Clooney’s attempt at directing an adaptation of a true historical book of the same name by Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter. Though the movie has decent comedy scenes and decent drama, both are meshed together in a haphazard manner, making the final product fall short of what it could’ve been. On its face the story seems to have a lot going for it. The movie is about a group of curators and art directors who go through basic training to do a mission for the president: get precious art back from the Nazis during World War II. The film ultimately puts what could be a wonderful heist story on the back burner. Barely even discussing how the men find the works they try to save. The movie itself turns into a lot of anecdotal scenes that turn the general mood of the film into a roller coaster. For example Bill Murray’s character, Sgt. Campbell, is introduced in an amazing scene, and then the movie randomly cuts to a dying soldier who is barely given any screen time. Clooney may have wanted to juxtapose the drama to the strong performance
in Campbell’s introduction, but the lack of knowledge about the random soldier takes away from the drama of his death. And much like the situation described above, the rest of the movie jumps from a light hearted and intriguing comedy mystery mash up to a harsh reality of war drama. It feels almost like Clooney had a much bigger idea for the movie but tries too hard, making the film as a whole come across as unfinished and strange. In a movie such as this it would seem likely for there to be a large concentration on each of the characters and their experiences with art and with basic training and their lives. They are civilians who are trained into the army and expected to steal art from behind enemy lines, or even at the front lines of battle. However, Clooney seems to have thrown this idea away for the overarching attempt at a deep war movie. The movie’s characters are terribly undeveloped and some of the major ones, such as Matt Damon’s and even Clooney’s, have their names said so little that the audience almost forgets who they are. With Damon’s character, this issue is made all the worse by incorporating random scenes with him and his old farmer friend/contact. These scenes do little, if nothing, to move the story forward and lack any real drama. The scenes beg the question: Why not emphasize more about the team or finding art? It seemed

like it would be the emphasis in the first place. Without a good fleshing out of the characters, what Clooney and the other producers put on the line for these pieces of art could easily be ignored. However, the movie decides to remind audiences what the stakes of these missions are over and over again with very little subtlety. It would have been much better for the movie and character development if the characters’ feelings and thoughts showed the stakes, rather than Clooney’s character out right saying it several times.
Though the film can feel jarring and unfinished, some of the performances by the all-star crew stand out. Specifically Cate Blanchett’s character (Claire Simone) is incredibly well acted and developed. Oftentimes it feels like a movie about Blanchett’s character would have been better put together and shown more depth than the one about the monument’s men team.
Student raises funds for brother’s medical needs Holden Broyhill Features Editor
Brandon Shackelford, a senior in film studies, is raising money to pay for his brother’s hospital bills. On New Year’s Day two men broke into Blake Shackelford’s home and shot him four times.

exciting finish where Norenius closed the deal for the Wolfpack. “I think our nonconference schedule is very important,” Mudge said. “These are the matches where we can say we learned something. You don’t really grow as a team if you just keep winning 7-0, 7-0, 7-0.” Against the Gamecocks on Sunday, State started things off in the same fashion as Friday, taking the doubles point as Weber and Horton topped senior Chip Cox and junior Kyle Koch, 8-5. The Pack clinched the doubles point when Mudge and Dempster beat senior Tsvetan Mihov and junior Thiago Pinhero by a score of 8-2. The teams traded blows in singles play, as the Gamecocks momentarily knotted the match at one behind a 6-4, 6-2 win by Pinhero over Weigel at No. 3. Powell put the Pack back in the lead by disposing of Mihov, 7-5, 6-2, at the top spot. But USC tied the match once again when junior Andrew Adams knocked off Horton by identical 6-3 scores.

to convert, however, and the players traded games until a tiebreak. From there, it was all Mudge, as he took an early lead and never looked back, defeating Koch 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(2) and giving State an unassailable 4-2 lead. “I played a very bad game at 5-4. I made a lot of unforced

N.C. State used its free throw shooting for the remainder of the game to keep Miami at bay. Turner hit the second of a pair of free throws with nine seconds remaining to give the Pack a two-point edge. The LSU transfer then fouled Miami’s senior Raphael Akpejiori with three seconds remaining. The forward from Nigeria made the first attempt, but missed his second free throw, which would have tied the game. Freshman forward Kyle Washington caught the rebound and was then fouled with 1.8 seconds to go. Washington failed to connect on the first and then intentionally the second, but Miami’s last-ditch heave from beyond midcourt fell short and the Wolfpack secured its second ACC road win of the season. “It was an important win for us, very important,” Gottfried said. “I am very proud of my team. I thought it was a gutsy, tough win.” N.C. State will get a short respite before returning to action at home against Wake Forest on Tuesday in PNC Arena. Tip is set for 7:00 p.m.

On Saturday a f ter noon at BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla., it was a tale of two halves for N.C. State. Fortunately for the Wolfpack, each involved a player carrying the team when the Pack needed it most. State held off Miami, 56-55, to improve to 15-8 overall and 5-5 in the ACC. The loss dropped the Hurricanes to 11-12 on the season and 2-8 in league play. Sophomore forward T.J. Warren led N.C. State with 27 points and seven rebounds on eightfor-14 shooting and nine-for-10 for the free throw line. Warren scored 19 of the Wolfpack’s 24 points during the second half. “T.J. In the second half, I think offensively, he was spectacular,” N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried said. “He had a will to help his team win that I thought was tremendous.” The Wolfpack led for a majority of the game after taking a 15-12 advantage when junior guard Ralston Turner hit a three-pointer with 11:11 remaining in the first half. Turner scored 16 of his 17 points prior to intermission and connected on four of seven from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes of action.
“Ralston in the first half, he did a great job,” Gottfried said. “We found him a number of times, he made some big threes for us.” At intermission, State led the Hurricanes 32-26. The Pack, led by Turner, connected on seven-of-12 three point attempts in the opening half, which helped it withstand the impact of losing Warren to early foul trouble. “I thought the three-point shooting in the first half was a huge key for them,” Miami head coach Jim Larranaga said. “They came out looking for threes, they made threes. That gives your team a little bit of confidence, and it gives them a little bit of a cushion.” Despite leading for a majority of the action and only trailing twice by two points, the Wolfpack shot just 37.8 percent for the game. Warren and Turner combined for 14 of State’s 17 field goals throughout the game. The Hurricanes also made only 17 field goals in the contest, but took six more field goal attempts than the Wolfpack (51-45) thanks to 17 offensive rebounds–13 in the second half–and they managed to tie the game at 51 with 1:37 remaining.

State outlasts Hokies in OT Rob McLamb Assistant Sports Editor
Junior guard Len’Nique Brown hit a runner in the lane with 4.5 seconds remaining in overtime to lead No. 14 N.C. State past the Virginia Tech Hokies, 72-71, at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Va. on Sunday. It was the Wolfpack’s eighth victory in 10 ACC games and improves State to 21-3 on the season, matching its best start to a campaign in 32 years. State’s matchup with the Hokies was the 15th overall matchup between the two schools in a series that dates back to the Wolfpack’s first season of women’s basketball in 1975. The Pack has never lost to Virginia Tech. “N.C. State survived, that is what it was,” N.C. State head coach Wes Moore said. “We hung in there. I am proud of these kids. You’re down 10, you’re on the road, things were not going our way. I didn’t see them hanging
their heads. I didn’t see them pointing fingers. Every time I looked up they looked like they thought we could win this game.” Senior forward Markeisha Gatling paced the Pack with 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting, including a layup with 23 seconds remaining in regulation that tied the score at 60. Senior forward Kody Burke chipped in 20 points in 41 minutes of action. The Pack trailed most of the afternoon. Virginia Tech led by 10 points twice, holding a 46-36 advantage with less than 11 minutes to play. N.C. State, which has twice rallied from double-digit deficits to beat ranked teams, closed the gap to one point when senior guard Myisha GoodwinColeman scored on a fast break with six minutes remaining. The Hokies (11-12 overall, 1-9 ACC) showed resolve, never allowing the Pack to lead during regulation. Virginia Tech went scoreless for nearly three
minutes but took a 60-58 lead with 1:49 remaining and, after Burke missed a three-pointer, had the ball and the lead with under a minute to go. Virginia Tech took a four-point lead less than a minute into overtime. T he Pack responded with six straight points after freshman guard Miah Spencer (11 points, seven rebounds, four assists) converted two free throws to give N.C. State a two-point advantage with less than three minutes remaining in the extra session. The Hokies remained aggressive and took a one-point lead when s o p h om or e f or w a rd Hannah Young hit a three-pointer with only 27 seconds remaining in overtime, setting the stage for Brown’s heroics. Prior to her game-winning shot, the junior had struggled from the f ield (t wofor-10 overall), something her coach sarcastically noted in his postgame press conference.
“Is this great coaching or what?” Moore said. “[Brown] was one-fornine from the field. We put her back in and she hits the game-winner.” Brow n dow nplayed her game-w inner after the game and said it was a routine shot. “I knew they probably were going to think I was going to pass it to [Gatling],” Brown said. “I knew [Virginia Tech] was overplaying [Gatling], so I took it to the middle and just pulled up.” “The bench kept us in it. We depended on each other. We never hung our heads and we just believe in each other on the court. We never gave up today.” N.C. State retained sole possession of third place in the ACC standings with the win, trailing firstplace Notre Dame by two games. The Pack returns to action on Thursday, when it faces the Clemson Tigers at Littlejohn Coliseum, with tipoff set for 6:30 p.m.
The N.C. State men’s tennis team continued its strong play by defeating No. 33 Virginia Commonwealth and No. 26 South Carolina by identical 4-3 scores this weekend at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. Two weeks before, the Wolfpack faced off against this same VCU team in Knoxville, Tenn., at the ITA National Indoor Tournament and found itself on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline. This time in Raleigh, however, the roles were reversed. Sophomore Simon Norenius held off the Rams’ freshman Vuk Velickovic in a decisive third set at No. 6 singles, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3. This came after fellow sophomore Thomas Weigel dropped a third-set tiebreaker at the No. 3 spot that would have given the Pack the win. “We haven’t had any easy matches so far this year,” head coach Jon Choboy said. “VCU is the best team in their conference by a mile. It only helps us.” The match was tight throughout as State needed a tiebreak to steal the doubles point. After courts two and three split matches, State’s junior Robbie Mudge and freshman Ian Dempster defeated VCU’s seniors Alexis Huegas and Alejandro Argente, 8-7 (7-4), to give the Pack an early 1-0 lead. Mudge was also the first player to finish in singles, doubling State’s lead with a 6-4, 6-1 over Michal Voscek at No. 2. The Rams battled back by taking the next two matches in three sets each, with freshman Jean BaptisteMateo defeating senior Sean Weber 6-2, 0-6, 7-5 at No. 4 and Huegas outdueling junior Austin Powell 6-0, 5-7, 6-4 at No. 1. Freshman Nick Horton put the Pack back on top with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Wilder Pimentel at No. 5, setting up the
