Raleigh, North Carolina Hurricane Katrina uprooted Jackie Landry, worker in Talley food court, from her home six years ago. Andrew Branch Senior Staff Writer Jackie Landry said the roaring wind was like the voice of God as the Cat- egory 3 storm ripped through New Orleans, uprooting trees and destroy- ing homes and lives. “The thunder was like a 747 flying over your head, you know, right over your apartment, on military jets,” she said. “There was so much noise.” Six years af- ter she survived Hurricane Ka- trina on Aug. 29, 2005, Landry lives in Raleigh and works at Lil’ Dino’s in Talley Student Center. Even as Hurri- cane Irene blew through the state so close to the an- niversary of Katrina, Landry’s mind was brought back, with memories as vivid as ever, to the event that changed her life. “Graveyard Posses” Landry, 60, said her family had lived in New Orleans all their lives, 54 years for Landry. She and her daughter Italy, then 11, lived in the 17th Ward in a small, close-knit neighborhood. “My neighborhood was called Graveyard because it was in between two graveyards,” Landry said. “We were the GYP: Graveyard Posses. That is what we used to call ourselves.” New Orleans was a vibrant city full of friends, family and music, accord- ing to Landry. “It’s a musical town,” she said. “If you go shopping you’re going to hear the steam boats ridin’ up and down the Mississippi river and you can hear ‘em playing music.” That all changed when Katrina came, making landfall just to the east of New Orleans and bringing winds exceeding 100 mph—and lots of water. The storm Landry had ridden out storms be- fore, she said, and decided to stay at her upstairs apartment and ride it out af- ter sending her daughter towards safety. Landry said she slept through much of the storm until her cat woke her up. “Oh my God—I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe what I see and what I heard,” she said. She described “big old rain, long rain drops,” and wind that astounded her. “At first the wind sounded like a wolf, then it sounded like a train, and the roaring of the wind—it sound- ed like God was walking the earth, the roaring sound,” she said. “You know—roar,” she growled with her deeply resonating voice. Landry’s cat, Graveyard, needed to use the bathroom. “My cat looked at me, I looked at her, and then we looked at each other. I said, ‘What are you going to do?’ And the cat actually spoke to me. The voice said ‘Naaawwww.’ She wasn’t going out there.” 29 days without her daughter When Landry woke up the next morning, she said Katrina had done what she had to do. The storm deci- mated the Gulf Coast, bringing 20-30 foot storm surge to places in Missis- sippi, washing miles inland. According to the Louisiana Depart- ment of Health and Hospitals, the death toll would rise to more than 1400 in Louisiana alone because the storm surge, wind and rain over- whelmed New Orleans’ levees, flood- ing 80 percent of the city with as much as 20 feet of water which lingered for weeks. Not knowing if her daughter had made it out of the city, Landry said she was forced to flee the rising wa- ter with those who remained in her neighborhood. “Oh, man,” she said. “[There was] a lot of crying—and praying—because I didn’t know if they had made it.” TECHNICIAN m g technicianonline.com NOW OPEN LATER!

He is so focused on this topic, in fact, that he received the 2011 Grief Research Impact Award for his re- search into bricolage at the August 2011 Academy of Management meet- ing in San Antonio, Texas. Baker, an associate professor of management, innovation, and en- trepreneurship, defined bricolage as ‘making do by applying combinations of the resources at hand to new prob- lems and opportunities.’ Specifically, his research is focused on entrepreneurs in North Carolina, South Africa and India who do ‘re- markable’ things while having limited resources. “I try to understand how they do this, what problems and pitfalls they run into and what differentiates their behavior from the patterns of behav- ior of those entrepreneurs who are less resourceful,” Baker said. According to a press release from the Poole College of Management, the award is given to “researchers who published the most impactful entre- preneurship article six years ago in the top management and entrepreneur- ship journals.” For this award, the magnitude of the impact is measured by the number of times the paper was cited in the five years following publication. Baker’s paper had 347 citations as of mid-Au- gust 2011, making it the front-runner. Roger Debo, director of The Entre- preneurship Collaborative, said that he thinks the strict criteria for this award makes it extra meaningful for Baker. “This is one of the few awards given that is not in any way political,” Debo said. “They just look at how many ci- tations there are for a journal article.

Entrepreneurship professor takes home global honorTed Baker receives Research Impact Award for paper on bricolage.
Joshua ChappellSenior Staff Writer
Ted Baker is focused on making do with what is at hand.
He is so focused on this topic, in fact, that he received the 2011 Grief Research Impact Award for his re-search into bricolage at the August 2011 Academy of Management meet-ing in San Antonio, Texas.
Baker, an associate professor of management, innovation, and en-trepreneurship, defined bricolage as ‘making do by applying combinations of the resources at hand to new prob-lems and opportunities.’
Specifically, his research is focused on entrepreneurs in North Carolina, South Africa and India who do ‘re-markable’ things while having limited resources.
“I try to understand how they do this, what problems and pitfalls they run into and what differentiates their behavior from the patterns of behav-ior of those entrepreneurs who are less resourceful,” Baker said.

For this award, the magnitude of the impact is measured by the number of times the paper was cited in the five years following publication. Baker’s paper had 347 citations as of mid-Au-gust 2011, making it the front-runner.

Debo, who teaches alongside Dr. Baker in the masters in business ad-ministration program, went on to say that this award is also special because it measures the impact that Baker’s re-search has had on fellow researchers.
“It’s about how much the research community has cited your article and included your research in their own,”Debo said. “That’s pretty im-pressive.”

in the knoW Hurricane Irene hits East Coast
Now that Hurricane Irene has passed through the state, Gov. Bev Perdue, FEMA teams and federal teams are beginning dam-age assessments in North Carolina.
“We will reach anyone who needs help as quickly as we can,” Perdue said. “Everyone needs to re-member that, while Irene
has left North Carolina, there are still very real dangers, such as downed power lines, rising flood waters and fallen trees.”
Six storm-related deaths have been reported so far in five N.C. counties and more than 444,000 power outages remain. Three were killed in motor vehicle crashes, two were killed by falling trees and one suffered a heart attack while preparing for storm.
“The Outer Banks has taken a hit, and we saw damage ev-erywhere we stopped,” Perdue said. “Lives have been lost, homes and property destroyed.
But this storm could have been worse, and North Carolinians are resilient. We come together in times of need. Hurricanes are a way of life here, and we know how to deal with them.”

Police warn of campus scam
Campus Police are warning students of an illegal solicita-tion scam involving two white, male subjects. Aug. 26, the men
were soliciting to students by selling paintball cou-pons valued at $50 for $10 at Riddick and SAS halls, according to a statement by Chester Miller, Jr., assis-tant director for University apartments. The men were asking for credit cards and rubbing the card numbers. Campus Police is asking people to report the indi-viduals described above if approached.

Bricolage also has cross-dis-cipline relevance on campus. Erin Powell Smith, graduate research assistant in textiles, has applied and extended the work on bricolage to other forms of resourcefulness to be
applicable to textile entrepre-neurship, according to Baker.
Baker’s ar t icle was co-authored by Reed Nelson of Southern Illinois University.
“I met [Dr. Nelson] when, as editor of a major journal, he rejected one of my papers,” Baker said. “He called me to talk about it, and it turned out we had overlapping interests and started working together
immediately.”Ira Weiss, dean of the Poole
College of Management, said that Baker’s research speaks to the significance of research in the field of entrepreneurship.
“Research in entrepreneur-ship is highly practical and ap-plied,” Weiss said. “It answers the question what makes a business succeed. That should be important for every business
student and any other student that will go to work for a profit-making organization.”
Baker said that while entre-preneurial studies may not tra-ditionally come to mind when one thinks of research, it still has vast importance, and stu-dents should become involved in it.
“Entrepreneurial research is built on foundations of tra-
ditional social and behavioral sciences such as sociology, psychology, and economics,” Baker said. “The best way for student to get involved with research is to talk with faculty members whose work interests them to see whether they would find the actual routine work of doing the research interesting.”
Debo said the impact of Bak-er’s award will have a positive
impact on the college in the future.
“This award is fantastic for our department and college,” Debo said. “It’s been a con-certed effort over the past few years to recruit entrepreneur-ship professors and to build up a strong department, and an award like this helps to put us on the map.”

Peace alumni barred from moving in students as new semester beginsNewly renamed William Peace University pushed back at alumni for protesting recent changes.
Brooke WalligStaff Writer
Peace College administration banned its alumni from par-ticipating in a campus tradition over the weekend as a result of recent protests to announced changes to the College.
Representatives of the wom-en’s college announced July 21 that the college would not only change its name to Wil-liam Peace University, it would begin to admit male students—changes that have not settled well with alumni, who have staged sit ins and other activi-ties to fight these changes.
Because of these protests, Peace College’s Board of Trust-ees—who refused to speak di-rectly with the Technician—is-sued the following statement, stating alumni would not be able to help with move-in weekend, and would not be allowed past campus security.
“Our announcement to be-come coeducational is a chal-lenging one for some of our alumnae. We were informed that some alumnae were plan-ning to disrupt move-in day as a means to protest this de-cision. Therefore, and upon the advice of the Raleigh Po-lice Department, the decision was made to limit participation during move-in day to ensure the safety and privacy of our students,” the statement read.
Beth Falkner, ’04 Peace Col-lege alum, said she felt the col-lege’s actions were unnecessary and offensive.
“This was a great tradition because when a student comes to campus to move in, it’s re-ally a surprise for them to find out that they don’t move their stuff in. The recent alumni come out and move their stuff in for them,”Falkner said. “We were really disappointed. We were never going to protest on Saturday because we don’t want to detract from the move in day experience. That was never part of our agenda. The last thing you need to see as an incoming freshman is to come on campus and see a protest.”
The Board of Trustees’ state-ment also said administration will remain firm on the recent decisions to change Peace Col-lege despite the ongoing pro-tests.
“We acknowledge that some are having difficulty in accept-ing this new path for our edu-cational institution. The deci-sion to become coeducational has been made, and it will be implemented. We know that this transition is the best choice to ensure the long-term success for Peace,” the statement read.
But according to the Preserve Peace College Campaign web-site, alumni aren’t the only ones who have a problem with these changes, as many students and alumni are expected to partici-pate today in a sit-in in front of the campus from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Falkner said she feels the administration is treating the situation as if there is no room in William Peace University for Peace College alumni.
“We were shocked that we wouldn’t be allowed on cam-pus. We were told by the police that anyone who goes on cam-pus, doing good or bad, would
be led off campus,” Falkner said. “I definitely don’t feel welcome.”
According to Falkner, get-ting the cold shoulder from her alma mater is a far cry from what she experienced there as an undergraduate.
“I’m a huge N.C . State fan, but I felt it was too big. So I went to Peace and was going to transfer later. But when I got to Peace, it opened me up. When I was on cam-pus at N.C. State, I didn’t feel the same camaraderie. At Peace, I was more focused in the class-room, and didn’t have to worry about if I was liked or think ‘gosh there’s a cute boy over there,’” Falkner said. “It helped me focus and it empowered me. I really learned to listen to my voice and found that I could do anything. I came out a different
person.”But now Falkner said she
worries new students will not be afforded the same eye-open-ing opportunities.
“I’m upset about these changes because I became a very strong woman and found
my own voice through Peace , a nd I want f u-t u r e s t u -dents to have t he sa me,” Falkner said. “T here a re some things you can’t do as a mixed gender col-lege, so even though they say it won’t change, that’s hard to imag-
ine.”Falkner said this is certainly
not the end of the college’s dis-putes over this issue, the alum-ni are still working to support students.
“We are just here to sup-port the students. We do plan on protesting, but know that
we’re not planning on being violent. We know exactly what the police have said we can and cannot do, and we will respect that,”Falkner said. “We have a permit to be outside of Peace. Everything is lawful, and will be peaceful.”
So far, Falkner said the college’s administration has answered few of their many questions, further frustrating alumni.
“The administration is not listening to any opposing views, and I’m a strong believer that one of the things you have to do is win over opposition,” Falkner said. “But it was their views and no one else’s. The door was shut and we were left out.”
According to Falkner, the struggles between the college’s administration and its alumni will likely lead to a lessening in support financially.
“Many alumni are going to stop giving to the college. Be-cause if we don’t matter, our money doesn’t either,”Falkner said. “I don’t know why they’re so threatened by us—we just want answers.”
Invasive flower has seen large population growth.
Emmanuel LarsonCorrespondent
Yellow flowers with circular bases, called Nelumbo Lutea, a species of Lotus flower, could have taken over Lake Raleigh on Centennial Campus.
As a possible start of an infes-tation, a worry that the species would be invasive to the Lake Raleigh ecosystem arose.
Jon Stucky, a professor in the department of plant biology, described some common traits of the invasive species.
“Many of [the lotus] produce more seeds, and the length of time the seeds remain living can be signs of invasiveness. Also there is a wide distribu-tion of seeds rather than hav-ing only localized distribution of seeds they disperse farther away.”
One of the fears with the Ne-lumbo Lutea was that it would grow to outcompete or out-crowd its neighboring plant life to become a dominant species in the lake.
“Rapid growth, meaning in-vasive species grow faster than non-invasive species,” Stucky said. “The general thinking is that when a species moves and is distributed, by what-ever mechanism, it is thought that no longer does that species face those factors that were in-hibiting its spread in its native area. In other words, it sort of escapes, apparently, some re-strictive factors, and when it escapes to a new area, it could take advantage of those biologi-
cal characteristics.”This species is known to re-
produce quickly, Joanne Burk-holder, a researcher and pro-fessor in the CALS Center for applied aquatic ecology, said.
“They can grow really fast. I don’t know about the growth rates for the Lutea, but I know for the Nucifera, a close rela-tive of the Lutea, they can take over an acre in a summer sea-son. They can grow really fast,” Burkholder said.
Burkholder explained that much of the previous pollution of storm drain-age and sewer leaks in Lake Raleigh could explain the added sedi-ments that the Nelumbo Lutea thrive on.
“Lake Ra-l e i g h w a s once part of the City of Ra-leigh’s water supply. It also had miserable problems from sew-ers that cracked and contami-nated the lake. So there was lot of fecal bacteria coming in and partially treated water and de-bris from the storm water pipes entering the water.”
Due to the rich levels of nu-trients found in Lake Raleigh, the water makes a prime loca-tion for the Lotus to reproduce and grow.
“It has plenty of light, unlike a lot of aquatic plants; it’s in this rich sediment that doesn’t have much oxygen but is load-ed with nutrients, so they’re
in this perfect environment,” Burkholder said.
Burkholder did not believe, however, that the Nelumbo are that detrimental to the lake to be considered invasive.
“It’s just a plant that’s grow-ing in the wrong place and we don’t like it. It might be a real pretty plant but it could take over the system and that could be a problem. Otherwise, it’s fine. I wouldn’t call it an inva-sive species but it could be the status of a weed right now,”
Burkholder said.
In fact there are some ben-efits to having the Nelumbo Lutea close to the nearby ecosystems.
“It’s good habitat for water-fowl, It’s good habi-tat to hide in for animals
like muskrat and some of the animals that are around. So it has some benefits. In some countries they eat the rhizome (roots),” Burkholder said.
The growth of the Lotus could possibly help the nearby wildlife when it comes to find-ing homes and safe habitats.
If it really came down to having to eradicate the plants, Burkholder listed some possi-ble options, but all with vary-ing consequences if used.
“You can try mechanical bio-logical, which wouldn’t really work because we don’t know anything that eats them, like grass carpel eat hydrilla, for
instance; but if you cut off the rhizome of the lotus, the up-right grows back very fast. The rhizome is buried, it is thick, it is tough; in one of my aquatic plant classes three guys tried to dig one up and they couldn’t do it.”
The difficulty of having to dig up each Lotus would be inefficient at this stage in their growth, and would also cost a lot of money. The other option to eradicating the species was the usage of chemicals.
“You would have to use chemicals and I’m really not in favor of doing that if it’s just a habitat species that’s a little too thick for aesthetic tastes. I
think it’s a shame to use pesti-cides because there’s enough of that in the landscape already. There’s enough problems due to pesticides already.”
The Neuse River Basin Sys-tem is already known to be pol-luted by herbicides, which can have adverse impacts on the environments in which they are used.
The options of getting rid of the Lotus may have to be con-fronted soon, but as they are right now, they’re only a visual disturbance. They have certain visual qualities that could add to the lake aesthetically due to their yellow blossoms and floating leaves.
“This species is just looking for habitat. All the construction that was done around centen-nial campus and the golf course and all the nutrients running off – there are plenty of reasons why aquatic plants or wetland plants end up taking off in ar-eas we make it so desirable for them. It’s not the plant’s fault, it was such a disturbed area and the lake was not taken care of well.” Burkholder said.

Recently, the UNC Sys-tems Board of Gover-nors held a private re-
treat, which raised the question of the legality of the confiden-tiality of the retreat itself.
The Board of Governor’s statutes mandates broad meet-ings to be open and available to the public; however, the situa-tion the board put themselves, as well as the appearance of a private session, raises an alarm for many students, faculty and tax-paying citizens.
While legally the board did not violate the open meeting law, this concealed retreat put the members in a private envi-ronment where they potential-ly could disclose information. not available to the public. This is why the board should understand this is not an un-important facet of their meet-
ings. They must ensure their meetings will have transpar-ency and be held accountable for not following this pivotal aspect of the board.
The intent of this retreat may not have be malicious or even a way to pull the sheet over the general public’s eyes; however, perception is everything and the way concerns have already surfaced demonstrates the un-easiness the public feels about this closed retreat.
Along with this opportunity to break the Chapter 143, Ar-ticle 33C Board of Governors statute, the board should real-ize the appearance of such a retreat.
The governing body of the
UNC-System should be open and honest with its public, be-cause of its position and influ-ence on students and regular citizens of North Carolina.
Even though the board sug-gests they did not break the open meeting policy, to the public, the retreat looks suspi-cious and, as the Board should already know, the public re-members the mistakes and will hold those responsible ac-countable.
The mere perception is not the only reason for the con-cerns raised by the closed meeting, but the attitudes and feelings circulating around the board and its actions, with the current budget cuts and poli-
cy changes under discussion. These matters are important to students, because they directly impact them and the decisions regarding them should not be held behind closed doors.
The UNC Board of Gover-nors should know their actions are not merely swept under the rug for this considerably minor rule break.
The students and general public will be keeping an ex-tra eye on the way in which the board meetings are conducted.
The awareness of the general public will increase and more pressure will be put on the board.
These meetings are not mere-ly social events, but life-chang-ing decisions directly impact-ing students and the general public of North Carolina—so keep the door open.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the
responsibility of the editor-in-chief.
Appearance is everythingThe FacTs:The Board of Governors is the law-making body for the UNC-Systems; dealing with matters such as budget cuts and policy changes. As stated in their statues, they are required to hold open meetings.
Our OpiniOn:While the intent was not negative, the way the board’s retreat was held raises concerns among th epublic. The board should understand the appearance of the retreat and be more mindful in the future.
Thank you, University Dining
I love dining hall food; not like, not tolerate, but love. You can call me crazy or ac-
cuse me of having poor taste buds, but I love the din-ing hall. Be-fore you ask, I’m not talk-
ing about the endless supply of pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers and fries; I actually try to stay away from those if at all pos-sible for health reasons. What I love is the ever-changing selec-tion and variety of good, nutri-tious food.
I don’t know what most peo-ple were accustomed to eating before they came to N.C. State, but since my parents split when I was ten, I’ve been accustomed to eating whatever my mom had time to make. Now my mom is a great cook, and I love what she makes, but between my unwillingness to try new things without the guarantee of a back-up dinner and her busy schedule we ate a lot of pasta and baked chicken.
We didn’t have time for side dishes; it took us until I was a junior in high school to figure out that we both liked steamed broccoli and that it was fast. So when I got my unlimited meal
plan as a freshman I was super-excited to try new things and eat as many of the fruits and vegetables I love as possible. Instead of the Freshman 15, I actually lost about ten pounds my first year. I’m a junior now, and even though I live in Wolf Village I still have an unlimited meal plan, because I know I’ll eat much healthier there than if I tried to cook something be-tween my 19 credit hours.
As a frequenter of Fountain Dining Hall, I have been very impressed with some o f t h e changes they’ve made over t h e p a s t two years. More ob-vious ones include the gluten-free selections and the additions of new themed bars, such as the macaroni and cheese bar. Other noticeable, if more subtle changes, include an increased use of local and organic foods, ever expanding efforts to im-prove nutrition and promote
good eating habits, new lighting and even a new an-tenna for the TV so it doesn’t lose signal every five min-utes anymore.
The dining hall staff is also always friendly and helpful. It’s always appre-ciated when they take the time to herd us to different lines to ease congestion and make getting food faster and easier. Thank you University Dining, I definitely notice
and ap-preciate a l l o f your ef-forts.
So next time you’re in the din-ing hall, instead of com-plaining about
the food, take the time to appreciate the efforts of the staff and realize that if left to your own devices, you would probably be eating the traditional college diet of fast food and cup ramen.

Is your cell phone your best friend?
A survey of wireless car-riers revealed that more 285 million Americans
are mobile subscribers -- about 91 percent of the total popu-lation. This time of year, stu-
dent s come to college and a re a l m o s t forced to buy a cell phone. Who can live without a cell phone? I could never imagine my life with-out one. Cell
phones make life more conve-nient, so it would seem there is little reason to deny buying one.
When you get advanced technology like email, Wi-Fi, texting and thousands of ap-plications, spending an extra buck on a cell phone is required -- trust me, it’s worth it. When your friends have different schedules, it is easy to contact them and keep in touch. You always know when a party is coming up, it’s easy to keep up with the latest gossip and no matter what the news is, you are always updated.
Sometimes these advantages in a cell phone can become an addiction. It takes no time for the added convenience to be-come an added dependence. This might cause distraction in your routine. For example, if you are having a conversation with someone, and you start replying to text messages, this annoys the other person you were originally talking to.
Megan Campbell, a freshman
in agricultural education, said, “I’m completely de-pendent on my cell phone. It’s always there with me wherever I go, and every five minutes I check my cell phone to make sure that I haven’t missed out on any-thing. When responding to a text message or reading an important email, I have very nearly walked into other pe-destrians, bicyclists, even a door or two.”
I know it is difficult to overcome a cell phone ad-diction, but it is possible. You must realize you are crossing a line in your daily interactions and you definitely need to take a few steps back to reflect.
If you want to text or answer an important call, please ask to be excused from your other conversa-tion.
Please don’t avoid con-versations—it’s really bad etiquette. You can text your friend later; he or she is al-ways available, but you can never get back the time you are waste texting.
I challenge you to make an effort. Experience the world outside your cell phone, if only for a little while. I think it’ll be worth it. You may fail in your plan for tomorrow, but in the long run it’s definitely going to benefit you. We humans are the ones who should control the gadgets, but never be controlled by them. You’re worth more than that.

Precautions can prevent danger from calamitiesAfter Virginian earthquake highlighted N.C.’s surprised response, safety tips prevent future harm.
James HatfieldCorrespondent
Stormi Gignac was nestled in the comfort of her room when the Thursday earthquake dis-rupted her afternoon.
“At first I didn’t really know what was going on”, Gignac, a junior in fashion and textile management, said. “I was on Facebook, and I felt my whole body shaking. All [of a] sud-den I started seeing comments … about earthquakes. I just thought it had to do with the construction going on.”
Gignac has lived in student housing for the three years she has attended N.C. State, but Thursday marked her first such experience. The earth-quake occurred at 1:50 p.m. north of Richmond, Virginia and had reached over 145 miles, touching of campus. The ma-jority of residents on campus did not feel more than a slight
shake and quickly ignored the tremors after they ended.
Philip Dail, director of advis-ing and admissions at the Col-lege of Textiles had anything but an earthquake in mind at the moment.
“It made me think we were h av i ng a n explosion in t he lab downstairs,” Dail said. “I started hear-ing rumors, so I looked it up on the web, and by George, we had had an earthquake.”
Procedures for evacuation of safety in the case of a serious earthquake do exist at N.C. State but the ma-jority of students are oblivious to them.
“We would be safe because there are evacuation proce-dures in place here, but I do not know if students are aware of them,” Dail said.
Being as far inland as Ra-leigh is, this small gesture of
an earthquake has shown that we are not untouchable to na-ture’s most violent forms of harm. Students and citizens of Raleigh should check regularly to prepare for the worst.
General preparedness plans the University provides can be
found at N.C. Cooperative Extension website: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/disaster/.
It can edu-cate students on how to protect valu-able records by regularly taking inven-
tory on what you have at the time.
According to the Disaster Information Center, students should identify all electrical, chemical and fire hazards and deal with them accordingly. With forewarning, students can take appropriate precau-tions before hurricanes, earth-quakes and tornadoes.

Alum set to sell tasty beveragesTasty Beverage, an alumn-owned craft beer store downtown, opens in warehouse district.
Young Lee and Jon ForrestStaff Writers
A new craft beer store in the heart of downtown Raleigh aptly named Tasty Beverage Company has only one thing on its menu—co-owner Sean Pratt’s passion.
The store began as an idea in the mind of Sean Pratt, one of the co-owners and University graduate. Pratt received his B.S. in Business Ad-ministration with a con-centration in Marketing in 2007. Tasty Beverage went f rom an idea to a partnership when Prat t met Johnny Belflower, a graduate of Full Sail University in Florida, through mutual friends at various beer events.
“Once learning of the idea I had been talking about, Johnny got on board,” Pratt said. “We both love beer and have a passion to help the beer culture in this area to con-tinue to flourish.”
Seated in the Raleigh Depot shopping center between restau-rants Jibarra and Tuscan Blue, Tasty Beverage overlooks a cobble-stone parking lot with a vintage, almost quaint feeling on a slow day. But Aug. 22, cars filled the parking lot, and the shopping cen-ter has a new addition—a long line
of thirsty customers, waiting for their chance to try some unique beers.
Pratt said the taproom at Big Boss Brewing Company in Raleigh and Bruisin’ Ales in Asheville in-spired the idea for Tasty Beverage. Curious about the ins and outs of the world of beer and the type of people that make it, Pratt and Bel-flower said they hope to provide a store soley dedicated to beer in the Warehouse district of downtown Raleigh.
“We recognized the need and we thought it would be an awesome job,” Belflower said.
The duo received funding and set to work on creating their dream beer store in Raleigh.
“[In spite of the cur-rent econom-ic climate], eventually somebody t houg ht it was a good enough
idea,” Belflower said.And judging the crowd outside
of Tasty Beverage on its soft open the evening of Aug. 22, the invest-ment will pay off, according to the owners.
Patrons including curious col-lege students and seasoned beer aficionados brought out for the store’s launch by a shared passion for tasty beverages. The turnout was even higher than Pratt and Belflower expected from the sign-ups on Facebook.
“There were about 190 people who RSVP’d on Facebook,” Bel-flower said.”
According to Belf lower, the turnout came close to 450 people.
The soft open itself, slated to run from 6 to 8 p.m. that night, only began to wind down around 10 p.m.
Darren Quinlan, regional sales manager for Shmaltz Brewing Company, had set up a tasting table near the back of the store, but only an hour and a half into the opening, the samples were al-ready gone.
Quinlan’s company met with the owners of Tasty Beverage at a trade show, and they decided to have a representative for their brand at the store’s open.
“Prior to this, there really wasn’t anything like this for the down-
town Raleigh area,” Quinlan said.According to Quinlan, beer
drinkers of Raleigh are looking beyond macro-brewery selections.
“[The long lines] just goes to show you that people are willing to stand outside for an hour or two to see a new beer store. People wouldn’t just stand outside for a Budweiser.”
As the crowd thinned out and the night grew darker, the hectic atmosphere of Tasty Beverage be-gan to slow down. The stock of beer shelves dwindled.
The store sells beer from brew-eries less than half an hour away to some from distant places like
Japan, Denmark and Germany.The groups of beer enthusiasts
dwindled, leaving only family and friends celebrating Tasty Bever-age’s first night of business.
The store will be officially open this week, according to owners.
“We hope all of the humans at N.C. State will come check us out…and obtain many tasty bev-erages,” Pratt said. “We look for-ward to talking with everyone who comes in.”

Family, friends and strangers around the country came together to help her and her refugee family with home-cooked meals, trans-portation and fundraisers. Over two weeks, Landry made her way to Mississippi, then Greensboro and finally to Raleigh through a cousin.
“I hadn’t seen or heard from my cousin in over 15 or 20 years,” she said.
Landry said her anxieties in-creased with the news coverage of the aftermath as Italy was still miss-ing. Italy remembered her feelings well.
“It was miserable,” she said. “Very exhausting.”
After two more weeks in Raleigh, Landry finally located her daughter and the Red Cross flew her in the next day.
“Oh I couldn’t get over— in just that little month she was gone— how big she had gotten,” she said. “I was happy. It looked like she had gotten bigger, just in 29 days.”
Starting againAlthough the 17th Ward and
Landry’s apartment were largely spared, the reunited pair did not return to New Orleans because the landlord, Leona Rancifer, who was in her 90s, passed away.
“She died because she had a
broken heart because she couldn’t come back and live her life out in her house,” Landry said.
Starting over in Raleigh was not without challenges.
“We had just gotten up here and we didn’t know nobody,” she said.
Landry, however, also received much support from the Raleigh community. She said some of her b e s t f r iends were made after she was invited to a picnic at what became her cur-rent church, Re-deeming Love Missionary Baptist. Also, Sacred Heart Cathedra l in downtown Ra-leigh teamed up to help with es-sentials, including the job she has at Lil’ Dino’s for five years.
“They had about ten different people helping us, taking us around looking for jobs, helping me put my daughter in school and just giving me a lot of help,” Landry said. “We applied at N.C. State temporary and from there. That’s how I got a job.”
“My whole world was changed.”Landry said that she would go
back to New Orleans but it has been six years and people have died, and many never came back. The current population of 343,829, according to the 2010 census, is down a third
from before the storm.“It won’t ever be the same and I
probably won’t ever see her rebuilt like the New Orleans I came from,” she said.
Argie Brodie, Landry’s first neigh-bor in Raleigh, said Landry has grown attached to her new city.
“She loves where she came from but she really loves it here, mostly for her daughter,” Bro-die said. “She…is a very good mom a nd a hardworking woman.”
Landry said their plan for now is to stay in Raleigh, al-though they go back to Loui-
siana every summer. Italy will graduate from William G. Enloe High School this year, planning to either go into the Army or study culinary arts at the Art Institution of Raleigh-Durham.
“It was nobody but God—for him to just zap me up from New Orleans and bring me way up here to Raleigh, North Carolina,” she said. “I just can’t get over the fact, you know? After 54 years in New Orleans, my whole world changed.”

Raleigh citizens invited to gameLocal indie game developers showcase their titles to the public.
Jordan AlsaqaArts & Entertainment Editor
Though known for larger game developers such as Epic Games and a branch of In-somniac Games, the Raleigh-Durham area is also home to numerous indie game develop-ers. These smaller companies, though making games on a much smaller scale and with less popularity, nevertheless work w it h much of the same inten-sity and long hours as the bigger stu-dios.
Now, Ra-leigh locals will be able to see what these devel-opers have accomplished i n r e c e n t ye a r s . R a-leigh Game On, holding its first event to-night, will showcase the games that have been developed in the
Raleigh area.Originating from a conver-
sation between two of the ten developers showcased at the event, Raleigh Game On was
conceived as a way for lo-cal developers to better net-work between one another, wh i le a l so becoming a bigger pres-ence in the community.
Alan Youngblood, Co-Founder of M ig ht y Rabbit Stu-dios and one
of the masterminds behind the event, described the reasoning behind the event.
“There’s a lot of indie de-velopers in the area,” Young-blood said. “But we’re all kind of spread out. It’s easier to do stuff with more people, so we figured we’d get together to network.”
With ten developers coming out, and more who were un-able to make it to this event, it’s understandable that network-ing would be a goal. However, another aspect of the event is reaching out to the public.
The structure, Youngblood describes, is a sort of Battle of the Bands for the games on dis-play. Attendees are encouraged to try all the games on display at their own leisure, and then cast their vote on which game is best of show.
“This whole concept [of Raleigh Game On] is popular and really seems to be work-ing,” Youngblood said. “It’s something people wanted, we just gave it a name, place and time. It’s exciting to be a part of that, and we’re hoping we can get good attendance.”
Overall, the involved com-panies hope that people will come out and be able to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The de-velopers also want to be able to enjoy the night, so they request no one come trying to solicit a job. Another incentive for locals to attend is the promise of a raffle for attendees to win prizes.
The main attraction of the event, the games on display, should be plenty for any gam-ing fan to enjoy, with numerous genres represented.
Mighty Rabbit Studios will be presenting their upcom-ing title Saturday Morning Hero. An episodic RPG set in a world of 80s pop culture, the game looks to provide a solid amount of quirky humor for people raised through the de-cade.
“Idea behind the game is to take the casual JRPG game
style,” Youngblood sa id. “While also adding some mod-ern elements to add to the fun and avoid grind-heavy game-play.”
Also on display will be Nakai Entertainment’s Ninja Hamster Rescue, a side-scrolling plat-former. The game stars Riku, a hamster ninja who must wage war against the enemy samurai cats.
Eight other titles will be available to attendees to try out, and the developers will all be trying to provide the best experience they can.
Though the focus currently remains on the first event, Ra-leigh Game On is a project the
developers hope will become a regular event.
“We’re trying to do it month-ly,” Youngblood said. “Our next one should be in three weeks. We’re partnering up with SparkCon. They’re excited to get us to come and show off our games, something we’re excited about aswell.”
Of course, what the future holds remains dependent on how popular the first event proves. Interested gamers can visit the first Raleigh Game On event at The Hive downtown. The event will run from seven to ten tonight, August 29.

by making changes, which proved fruitful as the Pack managed to survive multiple attacks by the opposition and slowly started to regain control of the game.
“The formation they were play ing wasn’t any thing like what we normally play against,” Kern said. “It took a while to get used to it. We switched up our formation to match theirs.”
But the Pack wasn’t going to keep quiet, as soon af ter, in the 55th minute, beginning with some neat pass-ing by Berger and Cain, fresh-man forward Ju-lia Sandridge sent a perfect ball in from the edge of the box, only for senior mid-fielder Kristina Argiroff to head in her seventh career goal that was way beyond the keeper’s reach.
“Berger played a great ball to Tanya,” Argiroff said. “Tanya had a great pass that I person-ally missed, but Julia was there to pick it up and played a beau-tiful ball right over the top and I caught it from there”
Paying a tribute to the fresh-men that have joined the team plus the dynamic new forward line, Argiroff seemed confident about the ongoing season.
“We are actually really lucky to have great freshmen coming, they are picking up right where we left off last year,” Argiroff said. “We have fast forwards; forwards that can handle the ball well. We kinda have every part of the game.”
Ahead by three goals to one,
the Pack didn’t stop there. in the 57th minute, Cain showed some brilliant footwork to fake the ODU right back, turning in to curl in the ball in the top right corner from 15 yards. out to score her 13th career goal.
The opposition had little to show after, with only one effort in the 77th minute crashing against the crossbar, provid-ing something to talk about as State went on to take the win and continue their undefeated
streak this sea-son.
Coach Steve Springthorpe claimed he was very sat isf ied with his team’s offense.
“ We w e r e happy about get-ting four goals,” Springthorpe said. “Tanya was aggressive, pick-ing up balls and
beating players one-on-one. Bronson was doing a good job out on the wings trying to beat players one-on-one, as well. We were just aggressive getting to the goal.”
He seemed pleased with the way the offense reacted in com-parison to the previous games.
“We finished our opportuni-ties well,” Springthorpe said. “In the other games we gener-ated 14 to 15 shots, but we just didn’t finish. This time, we did. So, credit to our forwards.”
On being questioned about how he felt about playing LSU in the upcoming game, he claimed the team would take a day off before starting prepa-rations for that game.
“LSU is a good team from the SEC,” Springthorpe said. “It will be a challenge.”
The Pack plays LSU today at 5:30 p.m. at Dail Soccer Sta-dium.

started shooting, we started getting so many more chances, which is what we should have done all game. But it’ll come, our goals will come.”
State also had a distinct advantage in corner kick opportunities, ending the game with eleven corner kicks against Saint Francis’ two. However, the Pack’s corner kicks went wasted time and time again.
Findley cited the short training season as a reason for the lack of capitalization on the corners, and showed belief in the team’s ability to turn that around for the rest of the season.
“It’s hard in college soccer, we have about two weeks to prepare ourselves, to get the guys organized, to get team chemistry, make sure we’re fit, then prepare ourselves,” Findley said. “We didn’t deliver as well, but that’s some-thing you get better and better at as the year goes on.”
While the Pack’s offense struggled to convert its plentiful scoring opportuni-ties, the defense played strongly, consis-tently getting in Saint Francis’ passing lanes the few times their offense got near the box, a major reason behind Saint Francis only getting off five shots
the whole game.Perhaps the most exciting play of the
game occurred with time winding down at the end of the first half. Sophomore midfielder for State, Ryan Metts, dumped in a long ball from midfield to the Saint Francis box, where freshman forward Zabarle Kollie laid down a perfect header into the bottom left corner of the net, just past the Saint Francis’ goalkeeper’s fin-gertips. However, the goal was disallowed because time had just expired for the end of the half.
Few valid scoring opportunities were present in either over t ime per iod. State had only two strong chances in the twenty minutes of overtime, both com-ing as direct kicks af-ter fouls just outside of the 18-yard box in the second period. On the first chance, freshman midfielder Ollie Kelly sailed the ball high of the net. The second chance resulted in a great save by goalkeeper Darius Motazed of Saint Francis as Albadawi drilled a shot right be-neath the crossbar and Motazed punched the ball just over, leading to a mishandled corner kick opportunity for State.
Pack fan support was plentiful at the game, with nearly 750 people in atten-dance despite the undesirable weather coming from Hurricane Irene. The team was appreciative of the support, and se-nior defender Justin Willis spoke of the fan support.
“We had good support tonight, especially with this weather,” Willis said. “We want to thank the fans for coming out and sup-porting us.”
With the next game just around the corner on Monday against Virginia Mili-
tary Institute, State is keeping their head up and remaining confi-dent.
A lbad aw i pro -vided some insight into what the team is thinking going into the weekend and what type of message Findley provided the team after the game.
“Coach just talked to us right now about keeping our heads up.” Albadawi said.
“We’re creating chances, which is good; goals are going to come eventually, and once they do, I think that it’s going to be anonslaught.”

trouble after the first match by working towards making few mistakes.
“We reduced the number of errors,” Wood said. “We came together and picked up everything in our game. Less errors and more energy will always have a positive outcome.”
In its third match, the Pack closed out the tournament by taking three straight sets against Kennesaw State, with the matches at 25-22, 25-15 and 25-19. Wood led the match on the defensive end with 12 digs. Buckley led the match
offensively with 11 kills.Despite coming out of the tournament
with a winning record, Bunn still believes that the young Pack squad still has a lot to learn in its young season.
“We need to improve our defense and block-ing,” Bunn said. “Mar-garet Salata played really well. Kelly Wood played well and Rachel Buckley played well.”
According to Wood, she believes that the young Pack learned a lot about who they are as a team on a
personal level.“We got to see each person’s individual
character and how we’ll respond,” Wood said. “We’re going to be a team that fights hard.”
The Pack will play its first home games of the 2011 season on Friday, September 2nd in a dou-ble-header against the N.C. A&T Aggies and the Wisconsin Badgers. They will continue this home stand the next day when
the squad plays the Western Carolina Cata-mounts and the Campbell Camels.

After losing its first match, Pack finishes 2-1 at Appalachian State.
Jeniece JamisonSenior Staff Writer
The Pack opened its season by starting off 2-1 at the Ap-palachian Invitational Tourna-ment in Boone on Friday and Saturday. State dropped its first match to the host team in a 3-1 contest but swept its next two against UNC-Charlotte and Kennesaw State.
In its open-er on day one of the tour-nament, the Wolfpack lost the first two sets of the match with both of the scores at 19-25, took the third match at 25-23, but lost the final match 23-25. Senior Margaret Salata led the Pack in kills with 15 on the match. Senior Megan Cyr led the team in assists with 37.
According to senior Margaret Salata, the roaring Mountain-eer crowd had an effect on the team, especially with the fresh-man, but they managed to hold their own after the first match.
“They had a large crowd so
we had a lot of jitters going into the game,” Salata said. “The freshman held their own and played some great games. The team is very proud of what they’ve done this weekend.”
The Pack bounced back on day two of the event by defeat-ing UNC-Charlotte in three straight sets of 25-22, 25-13, and another set at 25-13. Fresh-man Nicole Glass lead the at-tack during this match with 12 kills. Salata and freshman Ra-chel Buckley also contributed offensively with 11 and 10 kills
each. Coach
Bryan Bunn sites a boost in energy as a contribut-ing factor to turning the Pack ’s for-tune around between the first and sec-ond game.
“We did OK, we didn’t turn out well against App. State, but we did finish the match fine,” Bunn said. “We lost [yesterday] but we played well today. We got a lot of support. We spent a lot more energy and we were ready to step on the floor for those two games.”

Wolfpack remain undefeatedCain’s hattrick contributes to 4-1 win over ODU.
Rishav DeyCorrespondent
It was a great day for the N.C. State faithful as they defeated Old Dominion University by a margin of 4-1 in hugely one-sided encounter and continued their undefeated spree for the season.
ODU, fresh from a loss against East Carolina Uni-versity by the same margin, had no answer to the Pack as the offense ran amok. It only took the Pack three minutes to find the net as freshman Stephanie Bron-son scored her first ever goal in the Wolfpack colors.
After some neat interplay, sophomore midfielder Ari-ela Schreibeis found some space and shot from the edge of the box, only for the keeper to deflect the effort, which Bronson promptly kneed into the net to put theWolfpack up early in the game.
The Pack, brimming with confidence after the opener, created chance after chance. In the 16th minute, senior forward Tanya Cain, after making some beautiful touches on the ball and shrugging off the two de-fenders that were marking her, chose to shoot at the keeper only to see her ef-
fort blocked.The game stayed one-sided
in N.C. State’s favor until the Pack created an opportunity that was reminiscent of the one seen in the game against Navy, as Cain was brought down in the box only for the referee to point directly to the spot.
The Wolfpack soon doubled their lead as senior Alex Berger, who had also converted a spot kick in the previous match,
stepped up and slotted the ball coolly in the top right be-yond the reach of the keeper, to double her tally for the season and her career.
ODU, who had remained quiet until then, soon started with a volley of shots as the Wolfpack defense started look-ing shaky. The Lady Monarchs continued their onslaught as they closed the half on a high with eight shots and five on tar-
get, the Pack one and two fewer, respectively.
The second half started brightly for the Monarchs as they took advantage of some sloppy defending. A compla-cent Wolfpack defense failed collectively as No. 12 Lisa Bernardini, in the 47th min-ute, went past the defenders to shoot the ball past the keeper to halve the lead and put pressure on the Pack defense.
Goalkeeper Kim Kern, who had kept a clean sheet in each of the previous games, was evi-dently disappointed on giving up the goal.
“I am never happy to give up a goal,” Kern said. “It was a save that I should have made.”
Despite coming under in-tense pressure, the Wolfpack managed to turn things around

Opener concludes in drawMissed opportunities lead to draw against Saint Francis.
Nate PedderCorrespondent
The N.C. State men’s soccer team opened up its season with a draw against Saint Francis after two over-time periods at Dail Soccer Stadium on Friday night. Though the Wolfpack had many scoring opportunities throughout the game due to its clear advantage in time of possession, they failed to
convert any of these chances into goals.
Coach Kelly Findley said that the Pack missed some breaks on offense, but he is confident that the goals will come.
“Most stuff was a foot here or there and we score a goal,” Findley said. “I’m pleased with our process. We got a shutout, and I’m pleased with the way we’re playing and I know the goals will come.”
Though the Pack accumu-lated 14 shots throughout the game, many shot opportuni-ties were left on the pitch.Red-shirt junior midfielder Nazmi Albadawi, the player with the
most shots and shots on tar-get, said the team was timid to pull the trigger early.
“I feel like we were a bit hesitant to shoot at first,” Albadawi said. “Once we
