WSU dietetics director warns holiday treats may pack on lbs.

BRYAN FINNIGAN Contributing Writer People gain weight during the holidays; most accept it as a fact of life. Studies show that on average this gain amounts to nearly four pounds a year.

For someone who has been struggling with weight loss, that four pounds can be very intimidating. For a person who doesn’t give much thought to what they eat or what they look like, holiday weight can sneak up and add up quickly.

Tonia Reinhard, the director of the dietetics program at Wayne State, has quite a bit of insight on the subject of holiday weight gain.

She identifies two different groups of people who are particularly susceptible to this cultivation of mass. The first she describes as those who “just plum don’t pay attention.”

“Not paying attention means normally you can go along and you won’t

have too many differences in what you eat from one day to the next,” Reinhard said. “If you look at the holiday period starting from Thanksgiving to New Year’s, that’s like a whole month and a half conceivably. Depending on how much partying you do, that can really pack on some pounds.

“When you combine it with the inactivity, the wintertime in Michigan, and also throw in some stress, there’s a lot of forces working against you,” she said.

Reinhard said for someone who usually doesn’t worry about what they eat, and typically doesn’t gain wait, the holidays are a time to be cautious.

The other extreme, according to Reinhard, are those who are “overly creatively worried” about gaining weight. These are typically the people who have been focused on weight loss the rest of the year and are, as Reinhard said, “overly consumed with the

whole weight thing.”

In Reinhard’s opinion, this can do more harm than good.

“Many people make the mistake of not eating before a party to make up for what they’ll eat later,” she said, “so starving to an extent.”

There is scientific proof that this doesn’t go well.

“In animal studies, if you deprive a rat of its chow, next time its around chow it’s gonna eat triple the amount,” she said. “So binging and starving — and that’s never good — even if it’s not an eating disorder.

That’s really associated with weight gain.” She said someone’s plan to compensate for holiday eating will often backfire.

In Reinhard’s opinion, “you have to figure yourself out.”

If you are feeling guilty about indulging too much at a holiday party, Reinhard warns, “avoid getting into that negative thinking, like ‘Oh my gosh! I gained two

pounds,’ because likely a lot of that is just fluid and volume.”

“A lot of it is avoiding that negative feeling and negative self-talk,” she said.

“It’ll just drive the cycle of cutting back and binging.”

She also said “cutting back” or “going crazy at the gym” out of guilt is known as a “compensatory mechanism” and, she said, “could actually turn into a full blown eating disorder.”

“You can listen to all these experts,” she said, “but it’s about you as an individual.

It’s all about balance really.”

For those who are weight conscious and trying to watch what they eat in the next few months, Reinhard compares your daily calorie allowance to your pocketbook.

“Think of your calories as money; you want to buy stuff but you want to buy stuff that’s gonna make you satisfied. Protein gives some satiety to a meal, as does fat, by the way.”

NEWS WSU professor appraises state economy No relief for unemployed residents PARIS GILES Contributing Writer Do you pay insurance bills or buy food? Maybe you can pay a portion of the bill and request an extension on the rest?

Questions like these are what Greg Weaver, 41, was forced to answer after the concrete factory floor was ripped from underneath him almost three years ago.

Weaver spent 10 years working in inventory control for Spartan Foods until the plant relocated to Grand Rapids. Only two hours or so from its original location, the move didn’t appear to be as disastrous as it ended up. He and his coworkers discussed renting an apartment near the plant and driving home on the weekends.

“But our union played us,” he said.

Weaver said they were told that the option to relocate with the company was open to all interested parties.

Instead, he said, they were forced to reapply and not everyone was hired.

Whether misinformed or misunderstanding, Weaver found himself out of a job and with a family to support.

He’d bought a house and a couple cars.

“I felt like I was secure. I thought I’d retire from there,” he said. He was dressed casually in a graphic T-shirt, ripped jeans and tennis shoes.

He applied for and was approved for unemployment. “It was a blessing,” he said. A blessing that has since lost its glow with the coming and passing of the expiration date on his benefits.

The first and biggest impact of unemployment that Weaver felt was losing his health insurance after six months. His son was diagnosed with epilepsy five or six years ago, he said.

Going from being responsible for $20 every couple of months to cover his medication to $1,600 was “devastating.”

“I sat in the parking lot at Walgreens with tears in my eyes not knowing what my son with epilepsy was going to do,” he said. Weaver eventually reached out to the state for specialty insurance.

The crisis was far from averted, though. He’s still out of work and doing what he can to get by, whether it be cutting grass or cleaning gutters.

He also travels back and forth to Louisville, Ky. An uncle owns a painting service that Weaver helps out with.

He doesn’t like to leave his son so of-

ten, though, who’s feeling the effects of his frequent absences.

Weaver still hopes to find steady work in Michigan. He’s had a couple of potential opportunities that didn’t quite pan out. They tell him that he’s been out of work for too long or overqualified or under.

“If you’re applying for a job, then obviously you need it,” he said. “It’s a smack in the face,” he said of being told he’s “overqualified.”

Michigan’s jobless rate is nearly two percentage points above the national average. Weaver blames the current state of the economy mostly on “crooked people” in the government.

He accuses government officials of not making the right moves in an effort to feed their greed.

“It’s not a race card, but instead a greed and power card,” Weaver said.

“America is not the sweetest slice of pie.”

Wayne State Economics Professor Allen Goodman faults the structure of Michigan’s economy for its slower than average growth. Goodman sees the state growing, but he doubts that it’ll ever quite catch up to the pack. Although the state is not as dependant as it once was on the auto

industry, it has far from cut all ties, he said.

“Employment in the auto industry has not increased as much,” Goodman said. He also points to lack of immigration as a likely culprit for the economy’s lag.

“Michigan is less of a center for immigrants than other states,” he said.

He cites cities like Chicago and its higher rates of immigration, which of course helps to boost the local economy.

Goodman is careful to make it clear that he does not want to tell people to move out of Michigan, but he does understand the reality. He tells of growing up in Cleveland in the ‘50s and ‘60s. A lot of the mines in Arkansas and West Virginia had closed, he said, and men would travel to Cleveland for work and drive home in the evenings.

“If there are opportunities elsewhere, it’d be foolish not to look,” Goodman said. Fortunately, both the professor and his wife are tenured at WSU. “It gets pretty tough,” Weaver said.

He has considered moving to Louisville permanently, but he holds out hope that the new year will bring more stability in Michigan.

University to open Warren technology center WSU partners with Macomb Community College HANNAH ORLICKI Contributing Writer Wayne State University and Macomb Community College have teamed up to construct the Advanced Technology Education (ATEC) Center at neighboring Macomb Community College in Warren.

The facility is planned to open in fall 2012 and is designed to provide 4-year degrees in the fields of engineering, computer science, business, advanced manufacturing and more.

Along with educational programs, the facility will also provide research programs. For example, students will be offered the opportunity to collaborate with automotive and militaryrelated research and production. Students may also participate in creating electric vehicle technologies.

Ahmad Ezzeddine, vice president

of educational outreach and international programs at Wayne State, said, “We look forward to working with our partners at Macomb Community College and the Macomb business community to develop and offer educational and research programs that meet the talent and workforce needs of Macomb and the State of Michigan.”

The classes to be provided by the ATEC for the winter 2014 semester include: Construction Management Technology, Computer Science, Engineering Technology, Electrical & Electronic Engineering Technology, Instructional Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Global Supply Chain Management.

The ATEC provides opportunities to further education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Research was conducted by STEM-

connector, listing all 50 states and the number of STEM-related job vacancies each state will have by the year 2018. Michigan ranked No.10, meaning it will be in need of 264,000 STEM-related jobs.

“Currently the manufacturing sector faces a large shortage of employees with STEM skills,” STEMconnector reported. “Alarmingly 600,000 manufacturing jobs are going unfilled in spite of economic conditions.

Between 2011 and 2015, an estimated 1.7 million jobs were created in cloud computing in North America. Another noteworthy increase in STEM jobs has come courtesy of mobile application (“apps”) technology, which has fostered 311,000 jobs in the ‘app’ economy.”

Forbes created a list of the top ten companies with the highest number of current STEM-related job openings. The companies, as listed by

Forbes, are ranked from most to least number of job openings currently.

The companies are: Microsoft, Amazon, SAIC, Lockheed Martin, Apple, HP, Oracle, Northrop Grumman, Dell and Intel.

Another major informant in the job industry is Indeed.com, an online job search engine. The director of Indeed.com, Mike Steinerd, said, “The demand for STEM professionals currently outweighs the supply. There’s a need for STEM professionals to help companies grow their web or mobile applications, as well as the need across specific industries such as biomedical, manufacturing, or even construction.”

The ATEC can provide a 4-year education and professional experiences, but it may also aid students in successful job acquisition, based on the strong need for STEM professionals.

Noel Night brightens campus community Annual festival returns for 41st year

JON ADAMS/THE SOUTH END

TIM CARROLL A&E Correspondent The weather is getting colder and the radio is playing more and more holiday music, which means that Noel Night is right around the corner.

Noel Night is an annual neighborhood open-house holiday celebration held on the first Saturday of December. Going into its 41st year, the event has established itself as a Midtown and Wayne State tradition.

The event features all kinds of different shows, music, games, activities, vendors and holiday cheer. From museums to restaurants to local businesses to corporations, everyone

comes out for Noel Night.

Midtown Detroit Inc., a company that is devoted to improving Midtown neighborhoods, now operates the festivities.

According to Midtown Detroit Inc. Special Project Manager Annmarie Borucki, Noel Night has much to offer. Some of the musical acts scheduled for the event are William Close and the Earth Harp Collective, Martha Redbone, Breathe Owl Breathe, Thornetta Davis and the Corktown Popes.

“Noel Night provides a platform for local artists, musicians and other entertainers, as well as many church and school groups, to share their talent with a large, regional audience,”

Borucki said.

There will also be holiday shopping at local boutiques and artisan sales, plus family activities like appearances by Santa and arts and crafts for both children young and old.

There is even a holiday scavenger hunt, called the Reindeer Run. The hunt, which is sponsored by TechTown and the WSU College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts, sends teams of four or more to different Noel Night destinations in search of holiday-themed items. The first team to cross the finish line wins a prize.

Food vendors and restaurants, which are usually closed at night, open their doors to the public and of-

fer many special deals.

“Though Noel Night may only be a one-night event, the significant economic impact it generates is felt area wide,” Borucki said. “Participating restaurants and businesses on average report records sales this evening.”

WSU also has a strong presence during the night, showcasing the university’s many talents from dance to theater to music to the fine arts.

The dance department will be showcasing their talents with “Jazz Made in America,” presented by ONSTAGE! Dance Theatre for Youth. The 50-minute performance will begin at 6:30 p.m. and repeat at 8 p.m. in Old Main.

Art prof rocks out Natasha Beste and Odd Hours debut video in Corktown COURTESY ODD HOURS

LYNN LOSH Features Correspondent Teaching artist by day and rocker by night, WSU professor Natasha Beste lives a double life.

Beste and her band Odd Hours will be hosting a video release party for the single “Khaleesi” at Corktown Studios, on 14th Street, at 7 p.m. Friday, December 6th.

“Khaleesi” is Odd Hour’s fourth release. The EP comprised of five remixes of the single, featuring musicians such as Tunde Olaniran, Eddie Logix, Io-Io-Iohanz and others.

“It’s really cool because they all sound different,” Beste said.

The video, single and remixes will also be available for digital download at oddhours.bandcamp.com.

The name “Khaleesi” comes from the popular television show Game of Thrones and is a name meaning “queen” in a made-up language.

The queen theme influenced the music video where Beste performs as a hateful, petulant prince and a bored lover in hell. Beste’s grandfather also stars in the video driving a motorboat.

Art created for and inspired by the song, by local artists Christina Tomilson and Tunde Olaniran, will also be featured at the release event.

New video installations by Gold House, Beste and her boyfriend Kevin Eckert’s production company, will also be available, along with a

“hell money” burning ceremony.

Beste, 31, grew up in Lake Orion, where she still lives with her boyfriend Kevin Eckert, who directs and shoots videos for Odd Hours. The two share a log cabin that doubles as a studio. Detroit remains close to Beste’s heart though.

“My community really is in Detroit,” Beste said.

Beste graduated from WSU with a Bachelor of Arts with a focus in communication arts in 2005. She’s been teaching part-time at WSU since 2011.

Along with teaching at WSU and being the co-founder and co-owner of Gold House, Beste works as a teacher for Living Arts, a non-profit arts-infused education organization.

With this busy schedule, how does she find time to relax?

“I had to work on that,” Beste said, laughing. “I like running.

Running is my only escape, because then I’m not by my computer and I have no distractions.”

Beste also credits the support of her family and boyfriend with helping her balance her busy lifestyle.

“My grandparents raised me and ever since I was really young (they) have made sure that I was doing everything and on the right track to (achieve) my goals, and helping me if I need anything here or there,” Beste said. “My family is super supportive with whatever I do.”

When she’s not teaching, making videos or running, Beste finds time

to write songs and practice with Odd Hours.

Odd Hours, a post-punk rock band, was formed in 2010 when guitarist Tim Jagielo seen Beste performing with her previous band, Sex Ghost. The two had common friends and kept bumping into each other and decided to start a rock band.

“I’d never been in like a straightup rock band; there’s always been like an electronic thing behind it.

We wanted to do something a little harder, a little more wild,” Beste said.

Along with Beste on vocals and the keyboard and Jagielo on guitar, the band consists of bassist Clint Stuart and drummer Randy Handley Jr. Stuart and Handley joined the band in March, after Odd Hours parted ways with their former drummer.

Odd Hours describes their sound as being similar to 80’s band Siouxsie and the Banshees. Beste’s vocals have been compared to Karen O. of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.

The band takes their performances to a level more than just sound.

“There’s a performance art piece to it,” Beste said. “We like to not only be interesting in music, but also be interesting with our visuals like how we look and what we do onstage.”

Beste describes Jagielo’s onstage look as “basically completely naked but with nude nylons on and we’ll pour black paint from the top of his

head and let it drip.”

“It’s like having another layer, or adding another characteristic when you’re performing,” Beste said, Beste’s onstage look is more along the lines of goth-glam and the other band members usually wear black.

Odd Hours has performed at a bevy of local venues and festivals, including MetroTimes Blowout, the Magic Stick and The Old Miami.

Though Odd Hours isn’t signed to a record label, they are pushing toward it. They are currently focused on building their fan base while balancing the band with the other aspects of their lives.

“We’re really trying to expand.

It’s hard when you’re adults and you have commitments to your day job, you can’t just get up and change everyone’s schedules,” Beste said.

The band name Odd Hours refers to “being a night owl and having the most energy and inspiration when other people are probably resting.”

“It kind of reflects my lifestyle, how it’s not consistent and it’s kind of more free and not really concrete or stable,” Beste said.

Beste finds whenever she’s creating, whether it be writing, performing, editing or directing, it’s natural and organic.

“I think for most performers, or anyone who does an art thing, they feel their best when they’re ‘in the zone,’ where you’re not even thinking, you’re just doing,” Beste said.

“It’s when I feel the best.”

SPORTS Coach Winters calls season ‘disappointing’ HUMBERTO MARTINEZ JR Sports Correspondent What was expected to be a very successful 2013 season for the Wayne State football team turned out to be an utter disappointment.

The season started out at a promising 3-2, but by the time all the regular season games were played, the Warriors had lost six straight games to end the year at 3-8, 3-7 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

“Our expectations for this season … they were pretty high,” Warriors head coach Paul Winters said. “We felt that the talent was good coming back, and that we had guys with experience that have played well in the past. So, we really thought we had the ability to compete for a championship this year.

It was very disappointing.”

No. 17 Carson-Newman was first on the schedule. It was a game that would take the Warriors to Jefferson City, Tenn. They fell to the Eagles 55-28.

WSU opened the home schedule with a 34-22 victory over the No. 21 Ashland Eagles, but it suffered a setback the next week against the Lake Erie Storm, falling 35-17.

The Warriors rebounded with two consecutive wins at Tom Adams Field. First came a 38-27 win against Malone, and that was followed with a 31-17 Homecoming victory over Northwood.

They were 3-2 on Oct. 5, but after that, things went south. The Warriors

lost their final six games, with all but two coming by double digits.

One of those defeats came at the hands of the Saginaw Valley State Cardinals. It was a game in which the Warriors held a 10-0 lead after three quarters but couldn’t hold it, falling 14-10. This game might have been the turning point of the season.

“We’ve got a chance to win that game and we start turning the ball over,” Winters said. “That might be the game where everything kind of tumbled away.”

It was a season of struggles for WSU. The Warriors couldn’t find a rhythm on either side of the ball, and they finished with a road record of 0-6.

“There’s no excuse for that,” Winters said regarding the winless road record. “I don’t care if you’re young, I don’t care if you’re (in the) GLIAC or whatever. There’s no excuse for that.”

WSU was in the bottom half of the GLIAC in run, pass, total offense and yards per game. It was dead last in pass offense.

“We were not able to score points,” Winters said. “We were not able to put the ball in the end zone (and) we kept turning it over.”

Turnovers were a contributing factor, no doubt.

“Last year we were not a good football team, but last year we only had 10 turnovers all season,” Winters said.

“We had 13 turnovers by the third or fourth game. We might have tripled

what we had the year before. You can’t win, whether you have a young, old, medium football team (or) whatever, with that many turnovers.”

The team didn’t triple its turnover numbers from last year, but it came close with 25. Ten of those were fumbles lost and 15 were interceptions.

WSU has, under Winters, been a team that prides itself on playing great defense. Though it fared better than the offense, this season’s defense was not your typical Winters-led defense.

It gave up 31 points per game and 375.7 yards a contest.

“We expect to play great defense. We didn’t,” Winters said. “We played good defense, solid defense most of the time, but we rarely played the great defense I think we’re known for.”

An offense prone to turning the ball over and a defense that’s not playing at the high level it’s used to do not make a recipe for success.

“If you’re playing great defense and you’re not turning the ball over, regardless of whether you’re good on offense or not, you’ll still win games,” Winters said. “Well, we were playing good defense, not great defense, and we were turning the ball over, which took us out of games.”

Six Warriors received All-GLIAC honors, according to wsuathletics. com. Seniors Ed Viverette and Stefan Terleckyj were voted to the All-GLIAC First Team.

“I really think both of them are legitimate All-American candidates,”

Winters said. “They’re just tremendous players. Two of the greatest who ever played here.”

Four players, senior middle linebacker Moe Davenport, sophomore defensive tackle Ryan Hankins, senior defensive end Greg Hasse and junior left tackle Ben Walker, were named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention team.

“Greg Hasse had a really good year — he was solid, and he was almost impossible to block at times,” Winters said. “Ryan Hankins, you could tell his value because he got hurt, and once he got hurt our defensive production went down. Ben Walker was the rock of our offensive line. He really has done a fantastic job for us as our left tackle. Moe Davenport, he really got his first chance to be the guy after Nick Thomas left and he’s always kind of been in his shadows or Raleigh Ross’s shadows at middle linebacker, and I think he’s stepped out of there.”

Despite this season’s struggles, Winters expects the program to rebound next year and compete at a high level.

“I expect improvement in every area of the football program,” he said. “I expect us to do a better job coaching, I expect our players to do a better job in preparation, I expect them to do a better job in the weight room. I expect our team to be considerably better next year.

“The expectation will be high, without question,” he said.

Volleyball team falls short of expectations WSU finishes with lackluster record despite standout play ZEINAB NAJM Senior Writer The 2013 volleyball season was an up-and-down one for the Warriors. They didn’t have the season they thought they would.

Coach Phil Nickel certainly felt the same way.

“It was a very disappointing season,” he said. “We had high expectations heading into the season, but we had to deal with a lot of distractions during the season that kept us from accomplishing our goals.”

Wayne State finished with an 1118 overall record on the season and 8-10 in GLIAC conference play.

It wasn’t all bad for the women’s volleyball team, as they had some great wins and moments throughout the season.

There were many highlights during the season, Coach Nickel recalled.

“We started the season strong with a victory over then No. 6 Southwest Minnesota State,” he said. “We also started the GLIAC portion of our schedule 5-1, defeating Ashland and Findlay on their home courts.”

As for standout players, he said Kristen Bulkiewicz and Heather Weiss had the best seasons.

“Kristen Bulkiewicz was named first team All-GLIAC for the third consecutive year, while Heather

6 I DECEMBER 4 - 11, 2013 I THESOUTHEND.WAYNE.EDU

Weiss was named honorable mention All-GLIAC,” Nickel said.

Coach Nickel added: “We had a number of players who had solid seasons, but I think you would have to say that Kristen Bulkiewicz and Heather Weiss stood out for their play. Kristen led the team in kills, attempts, service aces and digs. Heather really came on this year and finished second on the team in kills and service aces, while having the highest hitting percentage among all hitters.”

WSU missed the GLIAC tournament this year, for the first time under Coach Nickel. Although their season fell short, the volleyball program has a promising future with some improvements.

“We need to be more consistent with our play and our team chemistry,” Nickel said. “The returning players have already talked about goals for next year and are excited to get back in the gym and get to work. Team chemistry is something that has to be monitored, built and maintained over the course of season.”

The 2014 season may be another year but the goals will be the same for the Warriors.

“It is our goal to get back to the GLIAC tournament and to qualify for the NCAA tournament, while representing Wayne State and the athletic department as leaders on campus and in the community,” Nickel said.

Women’s hoops lose first game Indianapolis shellacks WSU 102-72 COURTESY WSU ATHLETICS

ZEINAB NAJM

Senior Writer

The Wayne State women’s basketball team suffered its first loss of the season.

Their record is 1-1 overall.

WSU was defeated by 28th-ranked University of Indianapolis. The Greyhounds won by a score of 102-72 over the Warriors.

Early in the game, WSU took a 9-2

lead but it wouldn’t last long. Indianapolis would come back in the first half to tie the game 13 minutes into the game.

The score tightened as the game went on as the Warriors would regain a slight lead, 19-18. Ondrea Hughes, who was starting in only her second collegiate game, drained the three-pointer to give WSU that lead.

It went downhill from there for WSU.

The last lead they would have was 27-26 which came from a pair of free throws from Shareta Brown.

The Greyhounds would go on a 25-6 run in the final six minutes of the first half to take a 51-33 lead into the break.

During the second half, the closest WSU would get within Indianapolis was 55-41. The Greyhounds would go on another run to hold off the Warriors and

secure the victory.

Brown and Imari Redfield led WSU with 23 points and eight rebounds, respectively. For Indianapolis, Katy McIntosh had a team-high 28 points.

The Warriors begin GLIAC play at home on Dec. 5 against Tiffin University.

The game will be televised on Comcast channel 900 in Michigan.
