The attendance numbers
of the fair were high as many
individuals seek to get their
career off of the ground. The
recession was tough on every one,
with the lost jobs and finances,
but seeing employers actively
looking for employees caught the
eyes of many students searching
for a more secure future.
The fair opened doors to all
majors and pathways. Whether
or not students were seeking a
business degree or a degree in
philosophy, there was an attending

abilities that any major carries.
There were many companies

fight off St. Bonaventure this
Wednesday. They also teamed up
with the Carolina Medical Center
to battle a bigger crusade: breast
cancer.
From 8:30 in the morning
to 4:00 that afternoon, the team
hosted mammogram screenings,
available to all UNC Charlotte
employees. Faculty and staff
members could call in, but they
did not take walk-ins.
The mammograms were
performed in a mobile vehicle
that was easily accessible through

The Pink Zone game was
created by the WBCA, in honor
of survivors and fighters of breast
cancer. It is a global fundraiser
that promotes breast cancer
awareness by asking that every
basketball team sponsor a Pink
Zone game the week of Feb. 12-
21.
The Pink Zone game was
founded in 2007 after former
N.C. State coach, Kay Yow, was
diagnosed with and ultimately
died from breast cancer.
Respected by most in the
Division 1 basketball aurora, the
WBCA knew that this would be
the correct way to honor her.
In 2009, the teams that
did participate raised over one
million dollars. They hope to get
similar, if not better, participation
in 2010.

whistles during the game.
“There have been many
different campaigns to raise
money for breast cancer,” said
Keaton Reeve, whose mom
recently survived breast cancer.
“But to see college athletics
combine together to raise money
is a beautiful thing. It shows

What would be the fun in getting
benefits of chocolate in pill form?
Sandi Doughton
The Seattle Times
SEATTLE _ If the healthful
benefits of broccoli could be
distilled into a pill, veggie haters
worldwide would rejoice.
But who would choose to get
their chocolate fix by gulping a
tablet?
The rush to cash in on
chocolate’s apparent ability to
lower blood pressure, improve
circulation and maybe even fight
diabetes is threatening to take the
fun out of indulgence. Products
like purified cacao capsules are
already on the market. A Texas
company filed a patent last year
on chocolate bars bulked up with
fiber.
Not exactly the kind of
thing to make a girl swoon on
Valentine’s Day.
Brace yourself for more of
the same as manufacturers push
to turn chocolate into what a
recent trade article called “a
suitable vehicle for functional
confectionary.”
One small Seattle chocolate
company hopes to subvert that
trend.
In a former brewery in
Fremont, Wash., Andy McShea
of Theo Chocolate is trying to
tease out the molecular basis of
scrumptiousness. In the short
term, the former pharmaceutical-
industry biochemist is using
scientific insight to optimize
Theo’s artisan approach to
chocolate making. In the long
term, he’s aiming for the same
goal as the candy industry’s
biggest players: a way to maximize
chocolate’s health benefits while
minimizing its baggage of fat and
calories.
But if it isn’t delicious too,
what’s the point?, asks McShea,
Theo’s sole scientist and chief
operating officer. “The hair-shirt
approach doesn’t work.”
Consumers were not
enamored of Cocoa Via, one of
the first health-themed chocolate
products. The granola-type bar
from candy giant Mars, Inc.,
was fortified with flavonols, the
antioxidants credited with many
of chocolate’s health effects.
Mars’ newest attempt is a dietary-
supplement drink mix billed as
a “concentrated source of cocoa
flavonols,” and next up is a fruit-
flavored drink fortified with
flavonols from cocoa.
The company is so convinced
of chocolate’s biomedical
potential it created a new division
to develop and patent foods and
possibly drugs based on cocoa
and its components. Mars is even
helping sequence the genome of
Theobroma cacao, the species
that is the source of so much
delight _ and Theo Chocolate’s
namesake.
“We see a lot of potential,”
said Mars spokesman Hugo Perez,
who estimates the company has
spent tens of millions of dollars
on cocoa research.
If McShea is fazed by the
competition’s scientific firepower,
he doesn’t show it.
“We’re going to do things
better,” said the cocky Brit, who
studied at Harvard and also
worked at Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center.
The tough talk comes from a
company 4 years old, with about
50 employees. But Theo’s organic,
fair-trade products, like dark
chocolate with dried cherries and
almonds, have earned raves in
publications from Time Out New
York to O Magazine.
Theo says it’s the only
Northwest company that
manufactures chocolates from
beans to finished product.
An artisan operation has
advantages over megacompanies
when it comes to producing
a healthful product, McShea
says. Industrial processing can
destroy flavonols and other
key compounds. McShea says
his lab analyses of popular
chocolate brands show mass-
produced candy doesn’t have as
complex a flavor profile as artisan
chocolate.
McShea also has graphs and
charts that show the heirloom
varieties of cacao trees favored
by Theo produce more flavonol-
rich and flavorful beans than
the varieties that dominate large
cacao plantations.
The main stumbling block to
a yummy chocolate health food is
the fact that flavonols are bitter,
McShea said. Chocolate stripped
of sugar has a mouth-puckering
quality. Chocolate that skimps on
cocoa butter is chalky.
“We’re working hard to figure
out a way to separate the health
effects from the calories and
retain the flavor,” McShea said.
“Nobody has been able to do that
yet.”
His chemical analyses, which
are helping to reveal what makes
chocolate taste, feel and smell
good, are a step in that direction.
But the goal isn’t to engineer
chocolate into something else,
McShea said. It’s to find that
magic mix of tree, bean and
roasting method that will lead to
the prize.
To get there, McShea will
need to make the most of every
advantage he has.
His Super Secret Chocolate
Laboratory is the size of a
bedroom. He turns to researchers
at the University of Washington
and their million-dollar machines
to help him bore into chocolate at
the nano-level.
McShea also acts as his own
guinea pig. He says he logged
a 20 percent drop in blood
pressure after dosing himself
with pure chocolate extract. He
self-medicated a back strain by
eating cocoa nibs, and claims the
anti-inflammatory effects sped
his recovery.
Don’t try this at home _ and
don’t take McShea’s high jinks
as proof. But reputable research
does appear to validate many of
the medicinal effects first noted
by the Maya and Aztecs.
More than 200 clinical studies
have shown eating small amounts
of dark chocolate can lower blood
pressure, improve circulation,
reduce levels of bad cholesterol
and increase sensitivity to insulin,
a marker of diabetes resistance.
Most of the studies are small,
though, and most were paid for
by candy makers.
“The evidence is not
conclusive,” said Jeffrey Blumberg,
director of the Antioxidants
Research Laboratory at Tufts
University. The research has
largely focused on indicators
of health like blood pressure,
rather than actual heart disease,
Blumberg pointed out.
“I think it’s critically
important to remember, no
matter how you cut it, chocolate
is still not a health food.”

jamie brown

jbrow318@uncc.edu
Have you ever had a moment
while watching a sporting
telecast that you were uncertain
whether it was a current play or
a past play? Whether someone is
watching football, basketball or
NASCAR, the effects of replays
are being used so much, it’s
actually taking away from the
sporting event. In fact, unlimited
amount of replays are causing
fans to miss other pivotal parts of
the game. If a fan wanted to just
watch the highlights, they would
tune into ESPN. Instead, they
decided to tune into the telecast
to see plays happen live, not
replays of an amazing shot that
happened two possessions ago.
I am not discouraging all
replays because there are multiple
advantages to using replays.
When watching a football game,
a replay can help explain why the
player missed the perfect pass.
Or, if the player’s foot was down
when he made that touchdown
catch. They are also beneficial
for the tough calls. In basketball,
for instance, replays are a great
source when trying to figure
out if the player was behind the
three-point line.
Probably the most beneficial
aspect of a replay is when it’s used
in NASCAR. With moves and
passes happening with speeds
over 180 mph, the replays help
pinpoint which driver caused the
25-car pile-up. One thing other
sporting telecast could learn
from racing replays is the use of
the split screen, which NASCAR
has been using more frequently
this year. When the broadcasters
want to show that remarkable
pass for the lead, they use a split
screen to show the replay, while
also showing the live racing.
This alternative would be a great
solution for other televised sports
so their numerous replays can
stop cutting into the live plays
happening.
While replays are great, the
main problem is the amount of
replays shown that are not. Too
many replays disrupt the flow of
the game. Instead of watching
the event live, fans are now being
forced to watch it in eight-second
clips. In most cases, the replays
are nothing special. They are
being played so much that the
effect of replays is becoming
obscene. A three-pointer is great,
but do fans really need to see it
over and over? They happen
all the time. Not every play is
remarkable or replay worthy, but
broadcasters sure like to thinks
so.
Telecast should stick to
showing the remarkable plays
that don’t happen as much,
instead of repeatedly showing
the mediocre ones. Stop the
interruptions, and use split
screens when showing those
remarkable plays and passes.
This way, everyone would be
happy because more fans would
stay tuned in and broadcasters
can still have their numerous
replays to talk about.

The Incredible Sandwich: more than ham and cheese
Anthens based jam band The Incredible Sandwich offers listeners a uniquely tasty sound
Devin Phillips
Staff Writer
dphilli@uncc.edu
Jam Bands produce a style
of music that is simple, relaxing,
music that anyone can just chill
out listening to. Jam Bands were
popularized by such artist as the
Grateful Dead or the Allman
Brothers during the late 1960’s.
Jam bands are known for their
improvisation to their music
as well as the liberal cultural
scene that is typically associated
with them. Artist today like
The String Cheese Incident,
Disco Biscuits and Widespread
Panic are currently some of the
most notarized Jam Bands. The
Incredible Sandwich is one of
those bands that continue to
bring that free spirited sound to
a new generation of listeners.
Formed in the Fall of 2007,
The Incredible Sandwich is a
jam band based out of Athens,
Georgia. “It’s a psychedelic,
spacey, progressive rock jam
sound”, said Matt McKinney,
who is the lead guitarist as well
as a vocalist. The incredible
Photo/ The Incredible Sandwich
Sandwich also consists of Kevin
Juneau on bass guitar, Damian
Kapcala on the keyboard, and
Rackley Davis on drums as well
as vocals. Each of the members
began playing music in their
young teens and Kapcala is
even a classically trained on the
piano.
The band has a wide range
of influences ranging from
Radiohead, The Grateful Dead,
to even European Progressive
Rock “The fact that we share
the same influences helps a
lot with how we feed off each

Bobby Lutz and the Niners had no answer for Chris Wright and Dayton.
Dayton flies There’s no place like home
past Charlotte
The Flyers put an end to Charlotte’s four-
game conference road winning streak
Josh Carpenter
Managing Editor
jacarpe1@uncc.edu
The Charlotte 49ers’ second
seven-game winning streak of
the season came to an emphatic
end Wednesday night against
Dayton, 75-47. The loss dropped
the Niners (18-6; 8-2) into a
tie atop the A-10 with Xavier,
Temple and Richmond in the
loss column. The win moved
Dayton to within a game of first
place, but the Flyers lost a 68-65
double-overtime game Saturday
afternoon to St. Louis.
The Flyers began the second
half on a 10-0 run to stretch their
lead to 13 points and held the
Niners to season lows in points
(47) and shooting percentage
(25).
The Niners didn’t shoot the
ball well in the first half (25
percent), but rebounded and
took care of the ball well enough
to only trail 30-27 at the half after
a Gokhan Sirin three-pointer
with 2.4 seconds left. Charlotte
turned it over only three times
in the first half and knocked
down 9-of-12 free throws, which
wasn’t bad considering they were
playing in one of the most hostile
environments in the A-10.
The second half was a
completely different story. The
Niners turned the ball over on
their first four possessions of the
half, leading to Dayton’s 10-0 run
to push the lead to 40-27. While
Charlotte turned the ball over,
Dayton’s sensational forward
Chris Wright exploded for a pair
of dunks and a three-pointer to
cap the 10-0 run.
“To not execute to start the
second half and turn the ball
over,” Charlotte Head Coach
Bobby Lutz said of the second
half debacle. “That set the tone.
We tried to get back in it. They
just wouldn’t let us.”
Wright finished with a
game-high 30 points and nine
rebounds for Dayton, who
had previously knocked off
conference power Xavier by 25
in UD Arena. Wright finished
the game 11-of-15 from the field,
2-of-3 from behind the arc and
knocked down 6-of-9 free throw
attempts.

shooting, including just 4-of-16
shots in the second half. Charlotte
had just three turnovers in the
first half compared to 10 in the
second half.
The 47 points for the 49ers
was a season low for Charlotte,
as they were outscored 45-20 in
the second stanza. The loss also
snapped the Niners’ four-game
A-10 road winning streak.
Shamari Spears led the
Niners’ scoring attack with 13
points on 5-of-13 shooting and
was the only 49er in double-
digits. Derrio Green scored
nine points on 1-of-10 shooting.
An’Juan Wilderness failed to
score on 0-of-3 shooting, and
Chris Braswell converted just
2-of-7 shots for five points to
go along with 10 rebounds. It
marked the 10th time this season
Braswell has recorded double-
digit rebounds. The Niners also
struggled from the charity stripe
at 67 percent.
“We didn’t shoot particularly
well,” Spears noted. “We missed
some easy shots, some free
throws, shots we’ve been hitting.
It was one of those nights when
you couldn’t buy a bucket.”

the 49ers (15-10; 8-3) lost on the
road to the Temple Owls (19-

Philadelphia, 79-68.
“Temple began the game with
a great deal more energy than our
team,” Charlotte Coach Karen
Aston said of the loss. “Temple’s
guards dominated the game.”
Spriggs notched her 14th
double-figure scoring game of
the season with 13 points, while
McCallum added 26 more for
her second consecutive game of
more than 20 points. Freshman
Jennifer Hailey turned in another
solid effort with eight points and
