N.C. State’s website and social media outlets have seen a measur-able increase in traffic the past year thanks to redesign and creative col-laboration, according to director of web communications, Luis Chacon.

The University Facebook page has reached an all-time high of more than 60,000 likes, and the Twitter page has almost 5,000 followers. In the last fiscal year, the genera l website gathered 12 mil-lion visitors, 40 percent of whom were new.

Chacon attributes this increase to the work of the web communica-tion office and efforts to celebrate the University’s 125th anniversary by relaying information to students in a “content rich, fun and share-able” way. The website mirrors the anniversary theme of tradition and

transformation by focusing on cur-rent and future students, Chacon said.

As of January, the “Current Stu-dents” tab, which has the largest audience, endured some large-scale changes with the collaboration of Student Government. Chacon said this partnership was born out of

former s tudent body president Kelly Hook’s goal to keep a student government blog accessible to stu-dents.

“It was a natural partnership, now we wonder ‘why didn’t we do this

before? ’” Chacon said. “Recent presidents are more active…most of the content is coming from Andy Walsh.”

Changes were also made to the academic and features calendars as well as shifting the social media

Response rates at N.C. State have dropped due to an excessive amount of surveys sent to students, other-wise known as survey fatigue.

A committee has been assembled to regulate surveys at the Univer-sity and address the problem. Nancy Whelchel, chair of the survey advi-sory committee, said the problem is being taken seriously.

“We want to do everything pos-sible for N.C. State University to collect information that we can use to make good decisions — that’s the bottom line,” Whelchel said.

Provost Warwick Arden assem-bled the committee, whose mem-bers consist of representatives from various academic units at N.C. State and different people on campus who administer surveys.

“Every single unit on campus is doing all these surveys along with others outside the University,” Whelchel said. “There are a lot of surveys going on.”

There is roughly a 20 percent re-sponse rate for external surveys, those done outside the University, and about a 50 to 60 percent rate for institutional surveys, ones conduct-ed within the University, according to the committee.

“We don’t want survey fatigue to affect the quality of the data we get to make good decisions,” Whelchel said. “There’s only so many surveys people are going to do.”

The survey advisory committee plans to present the provost with

new ideas on how to better organize surveys and data.

There are hopes of a publicly ac-cessible calendar that lists surveys and the groups of people being sampled. Whelchel said this would help organize whom the surveys go to, what questions are being asked and when they are being conducted.

“People thinking about doing a survey could look at this calendar and see that they don’t need to do

the survey because somebody else already collected that information and can share this,” Whelchel said. “They can also see that groups of students are being asked to do mul-tiple surveys at they same time and think ‘maybe I can wait a little bit.’”

If a sample of random students is asked to do one survey, they will be taken out of the rotation for the next sample.

Another idea the committee plans

to recommend is a system where each survey is closely reviewed. If multiple surveys with similar questions exist, some could eas-ily be eliminated.

“I’d like to say that I would be able to keep really bad surveys from happening at N.C. State,” Whelchel said. “It’s in the best

N.C. State University’s Plants for Human Health Institute welcomes biologist Tzung-Fu Hsieh in August to lead enterprises on the N.C. Re-search Campus in Kannapolis, N.C.

“Tzung-Fu Hsieh brings a dy-namic research focus to our orga-nization,” Mary Ann Lila, PHHI director, said.

Hsieh specializes in systems biol-ogy, an area of traditional biology that is relatively new and focuses on the interactions between compo-nents of biological systems and how those components impact the func-tions and behaviors of the systems.

Hsieh’s particular area of spe-cialization in systems biology is known as epigenetics, a study of understanding changes in gene behaviors caused by factors other than mutations in DNA.

“His focus on plant epigenetics will serve as a valuable interface with other research programs at the N.C. Research Campus, creating opportunities with both academic and industry partners,” Lila said.

Hsieh is researching ways to bet-ter understand endosperm devel-opment, including how imprinted gene behavior, or genes whose be-

Gro Pro Lawns, a company started by two N.C. State stu-dents, works with local consum-ers to maintain healthy lawns by providing custom, environmen-tally friendly and cost-effective fertilizer.

Ryan Walsh, a senior in turf-grass science teamed up with Daniel Walser, a senior in busi-ness administration, to help consumers balance the cost of fertilizer with the quality of their lawn.

“We found that customers wanted to do the landscaping themselves,” Walser said. “The fertilizer consumers would buy wasn’t the best quality, plus the

instructions on how and when to apply fertilizer were unclear.”

Go Pro Lawns conducts assess-ments to provide consumers with individualized lawn care packages that offer more than the generic fertilizer brands.

“We realized that different envi-ronments need different fertilizers and treatments to help them grow,” Walsh said. “[Generic] fertilizer mostly contains nitrogen because it will work in different grasses across the country, creating one product that is useful to people no matter where they live in the U.S.”

Walsh said nitrogen works well, but a lawn needs other chemicals to achieve full growth, like phospho-rous and potassium.

To find the right package for a lawn owner, Go Pro Lawns visits the

lawn and makes some assessments based on key factors.

“There are three factors we look at when evaluating a lawn: what types of grass the lawn has, where the lawn is, and how big the prop-erty is,” Walser said.

This information is used to create a custom lawn care system for the client with a package that includes six fertilizer applications per year, instructions on how to apply fertil-izer, as well as when to apply it.

Purchasing a package from Go Pro Lawns is just as affordable as pur-chasing a generic over-the-counter lawn care program, according to Walsh and Walser.

Newslink farther down the page. These alterations and others increased the traffic to 57,000 visits in the month of August, a seven percent increase from the previous August.

The updated ncsu.edu web-site has been a success for both students and adminis-tration, Chacon said.

The web communication office has also noticed a rise in the popularity of their Facebook and Twitter sites.

“There has been a shift in social media in this year,” Brad Bohlander, chief com-

munications officer, said. The University was an early

adopter of the timeline up-date for Facebook and asked students to make the transi-tion.

“We encouraged others to use the timeline by supply-ing art to use [for the cover photo],” Chacon said.

Because social media fos-ters faster, two-way com-munication, the University uses it to fill the time gap as communications staff write and develop stories for the webpage. The sites also al-low alumni and others to look back and remember their time at N.C. State by meshing the “digital world and physical world together,”

Chacon said.On ncsu.edu, the most

clicked tab is “Academics,” followed by the “Current Stu-dents” or “Prospective Stu-dents” tabs depending on the time of year. The Academics page was also transformed to make it more fluid and easy to find information for the various colleges, according to Chacon. One such change was including an alphabeti-cal list of academic depart-ments.

Working for a university as big as N.C. State has been a struggle for the web commu-nication office, Bohlander said.

“There are too many good stories,” Bohlander said.

The development of en-dosperms, the placenta-like tissue inside seeds of flowering plants, plays a critical role in human nu-trition and health, accord-ing to the Food and Agri-culture Organization of the United Nations. About 75 percent of the world’s food supplies are cereal crops like corn, rice, and wheat, FAO said. These most widely grown crops are mostly endosperms.

Using relatively new sys-tems biology processes, Hsieh and fellow research-ers have begun to map epigenetic approaches as critical regulators for plant reproduction and endo-sperm development. His findings suggest new fields of research as to how the environment can exert in-fluences on plants through epigenetic changes.

“My long term research goal is to understand what kind of heritable responses are controlled by epigen-etic mechanisms,” Hsieh said.

Hsieh is an innovative researcher, holding four scientif ic patents and nearly two dozen pub-lished research articles. He is an assistant professor in N.C. State’s department of plant biology.

Hsieh grew up in Taiwan and received a degree in

Chemistry from a local uni-versity. He came to the U.S. to study molecular biology and holds a doctorate from Texas A&M University.

After moving to California for postdoctoral work at UC Berkeley, he stayed on as a re-search specialist before mov-ing to NCRC.

“I have a family with two lovely daughters and a cat named Lily,” Hsieh said. “My family is still in California. We are all praying that the economy and housing mar-ket will rebound so we can sell our house in California and move my family to North Carolina.”

The North Carolina Re-search Campus in Kannapo-lis, N.C. is a public-private, nonprofit research organiza-tion founded by billionaire a n d s o l e ow n e r o f Dole Food Co., David Murdock.

Kan-napolis was founded in 1906, a nd w a s on c e the home-town of the world’s larg-est tex t i le facility, Cannon Mills. Over the next century, the failing economy bankrupted the mill until David Murdock purchased it at auction in 2004, according to the Da-vid H. Murdock Research Institute.

The Research Campus was founded as an effort to inte-grate scientists from public and private sectors to drive innovative research in agri-culture, nutrition and human

health to revitalize local and state economy.

“I want everyone to under-stand the importance of the Institute and the Campus,” Murdock told DHMRI. “We’ve opened the door to re-search that will help everyone lead longer, healthier lives. World class resources will attract world class scientists.”

The campus includes over one million square feet of state-of-the-art research fa-cilities and offices, with plans for over two million more. Here, eight of the UNC Sys-tem’s top research universi-ties, including N.C. State, have 30-year leasing contracts to explore and advance sci-entific knowledge across a variety of disciplines.

N.C. State’s facilities in-clude PHHI and the Institute

for Fruit and Vegetable Science. PHHI now employs seven lead re-search facul-ty members, including Hsieh, with seven more researchers to be hired as the program

expands. The institute em-ploys almost 50 faculty and staff, including postdoctoral researchers, graduate stu-dents and Cooperative Exten-sion employees, according to its website.

Some of the leading re-search done on the campus includes the study of blueber-ries, isolating phytochemicals that counteract malaria, and exploring natural products for biomedical use.

our base kit is about $219, whereas Scotts’ is $200,” Walser said.

Walser said the extra $19 goes a long way because it entitles customers to Go Pro Lawns’ customer service.

“We are more than happy to come out and take a look at our clients’ questions or problems with their lawn. This is included in their package purchase,” Walser said.

In addition, Go Pro Lawns sends clients text message or email reminders when it’s time to apply their fertilizer package.

Go Pro Lawns also prides

itself on being environmen-tally friendly.

“Many times, when con-sumers apply fertilizers they tend to apply too much,” Walsh said. “This creates runoff, which ends up in our oceans and lakes. Go Pro Lawns gives consumers the right amount of fertil-izer custom-made to fit the measurement of their lawn, preventing runoff.”

For Walsh and Walser, this is just the beginning. Go Pro Lawns has already been featured in The Tri-angle Business Journal and The Premiere in addition to participating in the Southern Ideal Home Show.

Both Walsh and Walser have personal landscaping companies that they manage individually as well.

“This is just something I’ve always done year-round,” Walsh said. “We both did landscaping heavily in high school too. I’m glad I finally found a business model that works off of my degree.”

Though they are students, Walsh said they don’t let school get in the way of en-trepreneurship.

“We determined this was a good product that could be very profitable and provide a professional quality to the homeowner,” Walsh said. “We now have investors and many of them are blown away by our product.”

Go Pro Lawns is looking toward the future with hopes to expand locally, statewide and nationwide.

interest of both the institu-tion as a whole and for the person trying to collect the information.”

The committee bases a good survey on the ques-tions asked, the design, and if it is administered properly, otherwise known as being methodologically sound.

The questions should be easily answered and have a good understanding of who the population is. Surveys with irrelevant questions don’t contribute to valuable information being obtained

and lead to more survey fa-tigue.

The survey advisory com-mittee hopes to cut down on the external surveys conduct-ed by organizations outside N.C. State.

“If someone from outside wants to do a survey, then someone at N.C. State needs to stand up behind that proj-ect and say ‘I think this is worthwhile,’” Whelchel said.

Plans are to have sur-veys with over 100 students

sampled registered with the committee. This would not include teachers who want to administer a survey to their class.

“It’s not to approve or deny surveys, but we’re trying to improve,” Whelchel said. “Not just for the individual surveys, but for the institu-tion as a whole to improve our data collection efforts so we get the best information for everyone to make decisions.”

PAGE 4 • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012 TECHNICIAN

A striking feature of Chancellor Ran-dy Woodson’s final 2011-20 strategic plan is its commitment to doubling

the number of startup companies turned out by N.C. State. Currently the University pro-duces about five startups every year, a number that the Springboard Innovation Partnership Portal hopes to increase to 10.

N.C. State is already reputed for its techno-logical innovation. However, the licensing and patenting technology put out by the Univer-sity does not necessarily convert to benefits at the local level, as forces of globalization carry much of the technology we produce to large companies worldwide. Because of this, eco-nomic growth dissipates on a broader scale,

resulting in barely a trickle of wealth down to the local level.

However, startups can reverse this trend. It is convenient and beneficial for startups to hire locally, and startups also have a tendency toward developing products that are relevant at a local level. Moreover, they are involved in philanthropic activities directed toward their communities. Two examples of such compa-nies that started at N.C. State but have since gone big are SAS and Cree, both of which trace their origin to research opportunities at N.C. State.

With the impetus provided by the many research openings at N.C. State, startups are formed, but many fail without financial back-ing. Thus, the administration’s promotion of startups is an exciting venture with the right intent. It is a good move on behalf of the Uni-versity to aim to make use of the potential we have for pioneering influential innovation. With the recently created New Venture Ser-vices department, 15 startups a year — the Fast Fifteen, as they are called — will have access to yearlong customized support and networks, and the ability to benefit from mu-

tual success within their own community of entrepreneurs.

We live in a society in which far too much capital is siphoned up high into a corporate structure from where the wealth generated is out of reach for the majority of people. Our local community here is no exception to this. But it is likely that the new strategic plan will result in an increase in successful startups, which, by bringing products, economic de-velopment and philanthropic contributions to a local level, can only be good for the com-munity.

Sustainable State vs. Sustainable Students

Who is respon-sible for the costs of cre-

ating a sustainable cam-pus: administration or students? The proposed

Sustain-ability Fund has recently b e e n a hot topic, rejected twice in years past and

approved by the Student Government for $0 on Wednesday night. What is the fund, why is it so controversial and how do students receiving their degrees in sustainability feel about it?

The $5-per-semester fee has been proposed to gen-erate a fund that would be available for student and faculty-initiated programs across campus focused on improving sustainability. “The Fund will enable fur-ther education of students on sustainability as well as physical sustainability changes to the campus. This Fund will create multiple ways for stu-dents to become involved in sustainability, while reducing the University’s costs and greenhouse gas emissions and realizing other resource efficien-cies,” taken directly from

the text of the Sustainability Fund Proposal.

As an env ironmenta l science student, an ac-tive WESA member mor-ally charged with campus improvement,and a social entrepreneur, this sounds great. What is $5 — half the cost of lunch? Compare the $286,000 budget the $5 fund will generate annually to the $183 million generated in stu-dent fees for the construction of Talley. Talley is intended to be a LEED Platinum certified building — highly sustain-able. Compare $286,000 to the $5.5 million paid annu-ally in student fees (for most of us, through student loans) for transit operations. The Wolfline is also a highly sus-tainable service, reducing car exhaust emissions, traffic and required parking on campus.

The $275 I’ve paid this year in Talley fees combined with the $143 paid for transit op-erations could have funded campaign initiatives to make a real difference on campus, such as a plastic bag ban. That amount, $418, is fractional to my annual tuition costs, but it is among the thousands of dollars I’m required to pay for services I don’t use. I’ve ridden the bus once — it was miserable — and I’ll have graduated long before future students will be enjoying the luxuries of the new Talley. Where is the fund to sup-port my interests: campus

community, environmental stewardship and positive so-cial change?

The argument I’ve found put forward by university professionals opposed to the fund is that sustainable projects are not going to be the means to create a repu-tation for sustainability for N.C. State — leaders in sus-tainable technologies and research will give our cam-pus the prestige we desire and deserve. Our university is not lacking only in a few thousand dollars to support rain gardens, recycling bins, and bike awareness. To a large extent, our university could improve on institutionalized dedication for the research of alternative energy sources, improved renewable energy technologies, and deactiva-tion techniques for spent uranium. (Forget storage, it’s a bad idea.)

As to the sustainability fund, I say go for it. What is $10 a year to me anyway? $40 invested in the fund over the course of my degree is closer to $160 invested after I pay my loans at seven percent in-terest over the next 20 years. Assuming most of you will also contribute to the fund through student loans, the $287 thousand generated a year will collectively cost us around $400 thousand by the end of our loans. Is that sus-tainable?

Localizing the benefits of innovation

Maintaining America

Until the mid-1 9 6 0 s , i t seemed as if

the U.S. was becoming a more open-minded country. However, there are signs liberal America is regressing.

The 15th Amendment prohibits denying a U.S.

citizen the right to vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servi-tude” and

was ratified in 1870. Sim-ilarly, the 19th Amend-ment guaranteed female citizens of the U.S. the right to vote in 1920. This was later followed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended racial segre-gation and unequal voter registration opportuni-ties. The U.S. has evolved and continues to evolve, but not always in a pro-gressive manner.

Although the regression cannot be pinned down to one particular point in history, it is in part due to the Vietnam War, which led to an overall lack of trust in the government. According to The New York Times, Allied casual-ties were reported at 3,470 dead and 12,062 wounded after the Tet Offensive in 1968. In February of that year, a Gallup Poll report-ed that only 35 percent of those surveyed approved of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s handling of the war.

The American massacre of Vietnamese civilians in My Lai only deepened the distrust Americans were developing toward their government. His-tory.com reported that in March 1968, U.S. troops were told to destroy the village of My Lai, and they did so in the most brutal and disrespectable manner, torturing and raping the villagers be-fore killing them. These events were covered up by high-ranking army of-ficers for a year until Ron Ridenhour heard of the incident secondhand and wrote to President Nixon describing what he had heard. The story broke in 1970 and led to further distrust in the United States government.

The events of the war, followed by the Water-gate Scandal and later President Clinton’s sex scandal has made many

Americans more doubtful and less trusting of our gov-ernment. In 2010 the Pew Research Center found that 78 percent of Americans say they “do not trust the government to do what is right.” The other 22 percent say they trust the government “just about always” or “most of the time.” The question of governmental trust was first posed in 1958 when 73 per-cent of Americans said they trusted Eisenhower’s admin-istration. The number has only decreased since.

According to Jeff Madrick of The Nation, “the latest wave [of the modern anti-government movement] started with the capture of the GOP by evangelicals, the Tea Party and Grover Norquist’s anti-taxers” when they helped elect a group of “far-right-wing mem-bers of Congress dedicated to breaking government’s back.” Madrick also said Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum “propose budgets that would cut taxes sharply for the rich, decimate our most basic so-cial programs and leave no room for significant invest-ment in the future.”

The issue of distrust ex-tends past monetary is-sues. Skepticism has made us rather closed-minded. Because we do not trust our government, our prog-ress has slowed down as we would rather maintain our traditional ways than take risks. Risk-taking has a nega-tive connotation, but many of the previously stated civil rights acts were considered risks at one point or another. For example, two centuries ago, African-Americans and women were not considered intelligent enough to vote. Similarly, there are risks that need to be taken today so as to ensure that civil rights are applicable to all citizens.

More fully supporting gay marriage would be a nice place to start. Gallup polls from May 2012 found that 88 percent of people with “no religious identity” believe same-sex marriage should be legal. Likewise, if the govern-ment itself does not have a religious identity, it should support the national legal-ization of same-sex marriage as a progressive step toward equality. I understand it is risky — after all, the gov-ernment has never promot-ed anything not promoted by the Bible before — but maybe we should try it out if we want to maintain the U.S. as the land of the free and the home of the brave.

“Make them shorter.”

Sidney Parrisfreshman, management

Feed the Pack thanks Tech-nician for showing interest in us and would like to add a few important details.

We would like to recognize our other campus partners who were not mentioned in the article. We feel this is important so readers have a better sense of just how committed N.C. State is to providing for its own. Along with the partners listed above, we are receiving as-sistance from the TRIO pro-gram, Raleigh Fellows, Greek Life, Housing and Facilities. All partners have contributed in unique ways, and most re-cently Facilities has donated their services to renovate the classroom that will be used for Feed the Pack. Through their creative efforts, they received a generous dona-tion from an off-campus partner, Rogers Builders, to cover the costs of the reno-vation, which is in the thou-sands of dollars. This is just one example of how much the Wolfpack can accomplish when we work together with a shared passion. This is also a reminder that departments you may be less aware of are doing amazing work and making important contribu-tions to student, faculty and staff well-being!

In addition, it’s important to stress that although com-munity initiatives often start with one or two individuals, Feed the Pack was inspired by the merging of separate ener-gies from staff, faculty, and students who wanted to ad-dress the food insecurity they were seeing in our campus community. A small num-ber of N.C. State staff began discussing the feasibility of developing a food pantry here and quickly connected with students and faculty who also saw a need for this. A multi-disciplinary steering com-mittee emerged organically and ideas started to become reality. We’re truly amazed with the amount of buzz Feed the Pack has generated during its pre-launch phase, and the positive relationships built over the past 10 months have been life-changing for everyone involved.

Thanks again to Techni-cian for supporting Feed the Pack. Please check us out at https://www.facebook.com/FeedThePackPantry. Facili-ties started the renovation project on September 24th, 2012, so stay tuned for more details!

Given the recent uprisings throughout the Middle East, knowledge and understand-ing of the culture has grown as an important aspect for Americans to appreciate.

Approximately 100 stu-dents and faculty packed i nto T hompson Ha l l ’s Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre on Sept. 21 to hear Laith Ulaby, an instructor of ethnomusicology at George-town University and UCLA, speak about the correlation between music and the Arab Spring.

As part of the Price Music Center Lecture Series, “Music and the Arab Spring” hoped to shed light on the promi-nent, yet misunderstood Middle Eastern cultures. The PMC Lecture Series has become a way for diverse cultures and their music to be brought to N.C. State’s campus, students and the growing music department.

The Arab Spring of 2011 not only signaled a massive upheaval in the political structure of several coun-tries in the region, but also

brought into focus a number of emerging social dynamics.

Through his research, Ula-by has examined the role of music in the Arab revolutions as well as explored the impor-tance of media, demographic shifts and society in the Arab world.

“It sort of equates to the way Woodstock helped an American cultural revolution in the ‘70s,” Ulaby said. “The

music of the Arab Spring al-lowed people to relate to the revolutionaries in a way that would have otherwise been very difficult.”

While most were in sup-port of the revolution, several Arab pop stars were vocally pro-regime, meaning they were against the revolution. According to Ulaby, these stars became cultural out-casts, depicting the close re-

lationship between the Arab music industry and the gov-ernment.

According to Ulaby, each Middle Eastern regime had a pop star serve as its “face.” Musicians like Umm Kul-thoum and Abdel Halim shaped public opinion and became the pride and joy of their respective homelands. Pop stars were so influential that in 1969, Muammar Gad-

dafi planned to revolt in Libya but postponed it because Kul-thoum was performing on the same night.

During the Arab Spring of 2011, several stars came out in support of Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian dictator. Almost immediately, these celebrities were blacklisted.

“In their eyes, to listen to their music was to support Mubarak,” Ulaby said. “Most of them are still trying to re-build their images.”

When Ulaby recalls what it was to be a child, his memo-ries are filled with music, laughter and friendship.

“My father is from Syria so I remember people coming over and bringing records,” Ulaby said. “I’d think, ‘Oh, that’s different,’ and I’d want to know more.”

From an early age Ulaby was drawn to his parents’ re-cord collection. As he began to realize the impact music had on people and societies, Ulaby began to play instru-ments.

“I play the bass and a few Middle Eastern instruments and have played all kinds of music,” Ulaby said. “I think it is also a great way to meet

people when you are do-ing international research. It gives you another level to connect with them.”

In addition to music, Ulaby has also traveled to the Mid-dle East to conduct his re-search. After traveling to the region, Ulaby has learned to appreciate the United States. By visiting the places he has researched, Ulaby feels that he can really grasp the cul-ture.

“I just started going to the region and seeing all the dif-ferences,” Ulaby said. “I think that some people get interest-ed in a country or one place and just stick with that. I was drawn to the whole region. I wanted to know why they were different but still con-nected.”

Brooke ShafranekStaff Writer

Brickleberry focuses on an incompetent team of rangers in a struggling national park. As the series premiere begins, head ranger Woody Johnson (Tom Kenny, SpongeBob SquarePants) takes in an abandoned bear cub with a crass attitude named Malloy (Daniel Tosh, Tosh.0).

However, it isn’t just Brick-leberry National Park that is

struggling. The show itself had a rough pilot and trouble getting its feet off the ground. At the end of the first episode, I was discouraged and let down by Brickleberry’s failure to deliver.

The opening sequence of the cartoon starts with vari-ous shots of animals in their natural habitats before it abruptly changes to show-ing animals crudely mating. It simply wasn’t funny and clearly missed the mark. I don’t think I even cracked a smile, and it left a horrible first impression for the rest of the show.

The episode focuses around Steve Williams (David Her-man, Futurama), the over-conf ident Ranger of the Month, who is threatened by the newest addition to the team, Ethel Anderson (Kait-lin Olson, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia). The show follows Steven as he attempts to get Ethel fired, a plotline that proved to be every bit as monotonous and predictable as it sounds.

Meanwhile, Malloy, whose junk food diet is threatened by Ethel’s no-nonsense at-titude, is lured into a trailer with a candy bar by a ste-

reotypical redneck, who later rapes him. However, the scene is only played for a poor joke, the crime being deemed unimportant by the rest of the rangers.

I couldn’t find anything funny about the way the scene turned out, and it seemed like something that was thrown into the script without any real comedic value. This en-tire plotline possibly could have been a play on some bad press Tosh received regarding rape jokes while performing at The Laugh Factory.

Overall though, the jokes just fell f lat. I found them very similar to Tosh’s stand-up comedy, with a constant stream of racial stereotypes. However, the material was unoriginal and downright lazy. I felt like I had heard a lot of the show’s jokes before and it made for a slow half-hour.

There was nothing about Brickleberry to make it stand out among other animated

shows. It felt like a generic version of an adult cartoon, lacking anything to set it apart from its contempo-raries.

I am a huge fan of Daniel Tosh, enjoying both Tosh.0 a n d h i s stand-up comedy. However, the fact that Tosh uses his natural voice makes watching Malloy awk-ward. Tosh’s voice simply doesn’t match at all with the bear cub. It seems as though Malloy’s mouth is moving, and Tosh’s voice is coming from smewhere else.

The show itself uses an ani-mation style that resembles Family Guy and American Dad, and while viewers may be comfortable with the car-toon’s character models and color schemes, it furthers the sense of laziness behind the

show’s creation.It feels like Brickleberry

wants to achieve the infamy and status that Family Guy has managed to cultivate over the past decade. Unfor-tunately, the pilot lacked any

sign that the creative team put real ef-fort into the development of a strong identity for the show to build on.

However, not all shows

start off with a great first ep-isode. I remember thinking American Dad was flat until I was able to appreciate its hu-mor after about five episodes. Brickleberry may require the same time scale, though the quality of the pilot leaves me skeptical. Still, fans of Daniel Tosh may find enough here to warrant a few more view-ings before making a final decision.

The Wolfpack fell Thursday night to the Miami Hurricanes, 2-0. The Pack could not hold on late in the game, allowing two late goals, which it could not re-bound from. This loss is its fifth straight, keeping it tied for last place in the very tough ACC.

“I would have hoped overall that we would have played a little better, but I thought our fight was good,” Wolfpack Coach Steve Springthorpe said. “We battled hard.”

The Pack came out of the gates fired up, possessing the ball ex-tremely well and testing the Canes back line and goalie. Two tough saves by the Canes goalie, Emily Lillard, kept the Pack off the scoreboard early on.

“We had some chances,” Pack forward Cheyenne Spade on the Pack’s scoring opportunities. “Balls weren’t getting to the forwards, and passes just didn’t work out for us.”

However, as the first half continued, the game turned into a defensive battle.

“Our defense al-ways works hard,” State goalie Victo-ria Hopkins said. “They’re a lways there for our team.”

As time was winding down in the first half Miami starting finding its forwards on long passes, forcing State goalie Victoria Hopkins into some tough saves.

After halftime, the Canes didn’t let up. The Pack seemed content

with letting the Canes push the ball deep into State territory before step-ping up and defending the attacking Canes forwards. However, the Pack

defense held.“Yeah, I mean

our defense gave us a chance,” Spade said. “They held them.”

In the 80th min-ute, Canes forward Ashley Finn scored af ter winning a header off of a goal kick and outracing the Pack defenders.

With time winding down, and the Pack push faltering, the Canes took advantage of another misplayed ball. Canes forward Jasmine Pater-son scored in the 88th minute after outmaneuvering goalie Victoria Hopkins gently tapping her shot

into an open net.“It was a little unfortunate for us

in the end to give up two goals like we did.” Springthorpe said.

The Pack got two late shots, but neither found the back of the net, leaving the Pack scoreless as the buzzer sounded. The Pack was out-shot 20-4, with Hopkins having 11 saves.

“She played great,” Springthorpe said about Hopkins’ effort. “She made a lot of saves. Caught a couple crosses, had some good challenges on some balls. Certainly the two balls aren’t here fault, they get be-hind the defense, and it is hard to stick them away sometimes.”

Next up for the Pack is undefeated Florida State, which is ranked No. 1 in the country.

Halle MangrumStaff Writer

Here’s what you need to know about the Miami team N.C. State faces Saturday. Between the two conference games it has played so far this season, against Bos-ton College and Georgia Tech, Miami’s defense has given up a whopping 68 points. The catch is they still won both games.

If Miami’s current ACC track record is any indicator, it would seem the Pack has its work cut out for it Saturday.

However, at the press confer-ence Monday, senior safety Bran-dan Bishop was confident.

“They have put up quite a few points,” Bishop said. “It’s going to be a big challenge for us. I think it’s going to be a good test for us early, but I think we’ll be ready to go.”

Certainly, State has shown potential to be an ACC front-runner, but four non-conference games to start the season means that Miami will prove to be an interesting and daunting com-petitor Satur-day. “The first goal is to not let them score so many points so we don’t have to match it,” head coach Tom O’Brien said. “That’s the dilemma we’re working through right now, especially as a defensive staff.”

Of special interest to O’Brien were Miami tailbacks Mike James and Duke Johnson. In the 2012 season they have a com-bined total of almost 600 yards rushing and receiving.

“They’ve got guys that look like they’re all 6’5, 6’6, 300-and-some pounds in front of them, so the backs do a good job of hiding be-hind them and then when they take off they’re hard to catch,” O’Brien said. “They run through tackles, that’s the other thing they do.”

Luckily for the Pack, the past four weeks have been ample time to per-fect the defense. The linebackers in particular have been of concern to State football fans. During the press conference, O’Brien put those wor-ries to rest.

“I think we’ve sorted what their jobs will be going forward,” O’Brien said. “Looking at what they are able to do and able to accomplish, we have a better understanding of how to use them in the defense we want to play against personnel groupings.”

O’Brien expects Miami to bring a lot of different personnel group-ings onto the field this weekend. He anticipates Al Golden, head coach of the Hurricanes, and the rest of the Miami coaching staff will “work hard to put their play-makers in

advantageous po-sitions.”

State may be pri-oritizing its defense this week, but true freshman running-bac k Shad r ach Thornton has re-ceived much of the

attention following his impressive debut against the Citadel. Averaging nearly seven yards per carry and to-taling 145 yards rushing in his first start, Thornton may be a rising star for the Wolfpack. O’Brien said Creecy is listed first on the depth chart and Thornton is second in the Miami game.

When asked about Thornton,

Bishop said, “I knew early on he could be a good player for us, but I didn’t imagine he’d get the opportu-nity so early. That’s something I like to see — young guys who make the most of their opportunity.”

Bishop also spoke of the wide receivers, calling them a “talented group.” He specifically praised teammates redshirt junior Quintin Payton, redshirt sophomore Bryan Underwood and redshirt senior To-bais Palmer.

“They’re not as experienced as those guys in the past have been, but I think guys are stepping up nicely,” Bishop said.

All this taken into stride, the test for the Pack this weekend comes down to an aggressive defense and

a consistent offense. Although Mi-ami is an unfamiliar opponent and just the first of many tough confer-ence games in the weeks ahead, State knows it is up for the challenge.

“We like to take it one game at a time,” said redshirt senior tight end Mario Carter.

So, as Miami looks for its third conference win, the Pack is hungry for its first step toward the ACC championship. Miami’s explosive offense will surely be a different beast than N.C. State has seen this season — State can only hope that beast is no match for a wolf.

Men’s soccer to visit Boston CollegeThe Wolfpack is looking to get its first ACC win of the season in Chestnut Hill, Mass. as it faces the Boston College Eagles. The Pack is coming off a 2-0 win over Gardner-Webb on Tuesday after dropping three straight games. The Eagles (4-3-1, 0-1-1) comes into the match on a two-game winning streak. In their last meeting, the Pack won, 2-1 in Raleigh. The last time these two faced off in Chestnut Hill, Boston College walked away with a 4-3 victory.
