After graduating this upcoming De-cember with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communica-tions, she hopes to take Los Angeles by storm and do it all. Few things would make her happier than working for Buzzfeed, NPR or a fashion public relations fi rm. Working for all of the above would probably mean ultimate happiness.

Ada’s enjoyed fashion for as long as she can remember and in her mind, few things compare to the rush of fi nd-ing a versatile, high-quality piece on a college kid budget. She knows how to hit a store’s sweet spot (the sales rack) and doesn’t mind getting dirty with the area’s fi nest thrift shops.

Clean Bulking: How to gain mass this winterwithout looking like Santa

BY JAMES FRANCOSTAFF WRITER

For some, bulking means the six-pack season

is over and they’re ready to comfortably settle into that two-pack with a nice cozy layer of fat to keep them warm for the winter. However, that doesn’t always have to be the case. It really depends on your individual goals as to how much you’re going to sacrifi ce the shreds to gain size.

But, it doesn’t mean that you’re always going to have to balloon out during the winter and struggle to cut back again before spring break. It is in fact possible to bulk without compromising the way your jeans or fi tted shirts look. Most people are under the impression that bulking is the green light to eat whatever they want whenever they want and tack it up as “gains”.

Even though dirty bulking with consistent lifting will increase the amount of muscle you’re going to be

able to put on, think about the amount of fat you’re going to have to cut to get back to that spring-break bod. With the amount of fat you’re going to have to lose from dirty bulking, you’ll also be losing those hard- earned gains…

that’s why properly bulking is very important to seeing AND maintaining dramatic improvements over a three-to-four-month bulk cycle.

So what is this proper bulk I keep alluding to?

A high carbohydrate diet with a steady intake of close to 25 grams of protein per meal is ideal for most body

types. Carbohydrates give your body the energy to lift heavier weight more often, which in turn tears the muscle fi bers more. Protein then is key in stimulating growth among the torn fi bers.

The rule of thumb for clean bulking as far as macros go is 40/40/20.

That is 40 percent of your daily calories should come from

carbohydrates and protein, while the last 20 percent

should come from fats. Low reps (8-

10) and high weight is the routine you’re

going to want to stick with for the entirety of your bulk

because this is going to give your muscles the

desired tears to really pack on new muscle.

If you want to dial in your macronutrient count to get the optimum results from your bulk, please email me at [email protected] and I can create a custom meal plan for (because all body types are diff erent), or there are many diff erent macro calculators readily accessible online.

ask anniethingHi Annie, I am thinking about getting a dog. My parents are saying I shouldn’t because I’m in college, but I don’t know what to do.

For most of us, college is the fi rst time we don’t live with our parents and we have our own place and responsibilities. The adjustment of taking care of yourself is very hard, especially in the fi rst few years on your own. If you are thinking of getting a dog, you should defi -nitely analyze your lifestyle fi rst. Are you home often during the day? Do you have the budget to take care of your animal? Do you have the space for an animal where you live? Will this animal cause more stress to your college life? These are all questions you have to an-swer for yourself before you decide to take care of something other than yourself. If you have the time, money, and eff ort to take care of a dog (especially a puppy), then you would probably be fi ne! Just remember that if you get an animal, you are making a commitment to keep it forever, not just while you’re bored in college. Don’t forget that college is the time to focus on you, because you can always have these responsibilities later on in life!

To or not to dogTo or not to dogTo or not to dogTo or not to dog

On or offI am a freshman, and I know it is a little early, but I am not sure if I should move off campus next year, or live on campus.

This is a hard decision, and you have to think about what is best for your college lifestyle. If you are involved on campus and/or have a lot of classes on campus, I think it would be easier to live on or near campus. Another factor for most NMSU students is the cost. If your parents are paying for your living, what are they willing to pay for? If you are paying for your own living expenses, what is your budget? There are a lot of options on campus, and they are defi nitely worth looking into, but there are also a lot of options for off -campus living. Make sure you do your research and visit all the places you’re considering. House, apartment, dorm, etc., make sure your living situation helps enhance your college experience!

The Peanuts Movie, opening November 6, was written in large part was by comic strips creator Charles M. Schulz’s son Craig Schulz,and Craig’s son Bryan Schulz. This movie is cer-tain to ignite nostalgia in audiences who grew up with the strip.

In development since 2006, Craig Schulz has made sure the film stays true to the source material created by his father.

Trumbo also opens No-vember 6, and is Trumbo directed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Meet The Parents) and stars Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad). The film revolves around real-life screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and his experience being blacklisted in Hollywood in the 1950s. This film will send waves through the industry and will likely solidify Bryan Cranston as a prestigious Hollywood actor.

Jem and The Holograms hit theaters on October 23. People who are familiar with the classic TV show Jem will be excited to see this modernized version on the big screen. Jon Chu ( G.I. Joe Retali-ation) is directing the film starring Stephanie Scott. Jem and The Ho-lograms also stars Molly Ringwald, who has an immense fan base, so the ‘80s nostalgia will be permeable.

Scouts Guide to theZombie Apocalypseis an upcoming film by Christopher Landon, and will be released on Oc-tober 30. It stars Tye Sheridan from Mud. The film centers around three boyscout buddies who must rid their town of a zombie infestation.

Spectre, the 24th James Bond installation, opens on November 6, and is sure to bring a lot of excite-ment, especially because Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglo-rious Basterds) will be playing the villain, a coveted role for any actor. Waltz has received much praise for his roles in the Tarantino films and will surely receive a lot of critical acclaim for his role as Franz Ober-hauser. Directed by Sam Mendez ( American Beauty).

Ash Vs. The Evil Dead is a Starz original series set to pre-miere on October 31. The series was created by original Evil Dead director Sam Raimi and will follow a middle-aged Ash taking on the Dead once again.

The series plays on classic cult horror tropes and will likely be as over-the-top and wonderfully com-ical as the original fi lms. Initial re-views of the fi rst episode have been extremely positive, and fans of the movies are sure to be delighted.

Code Black centers around

the emergency workers of one of the most vis-ited emergency rooms in the country and the large infl ux of patients that can sometimes fl ood the E.R. and cause a shortage in supplies.

Starring Marcia Gay Harden as experienced Dr. Leanne Rorish and Luis Guzman as Jesse Saland-er, this is likely going to be a hit se-ries in the next couple of years.

The Walking Dead returns for its sixth season this year and is already gain-

ing amazing acclaim. This

is a series that has been a hard

hitter since its premier in October 2010 and has

remained a Halloween tradition since then and will likely stay on the airwaves into 2018.

Ellie Goulding fans will have an al-bum to pick up in stores and on ITunes on November 6. The British artist gained notoriety in 2010 with her debut album Lights, which reached number one on the U.K. charts. Delirium is her third stu-dio album and has already received crit-ical acclaim for “On My Mind,” which was released on September 17.

Tim McGraw will offi cially release his 14th studio album, Damn Country Music, on November 6. It features the

single “Here Tonight.”Cee Lo Green will release an al-

bum by the end of 2015, called Heart Blanche.

Enya will release Dark Sky Island, her fi rst studio album since 2008’s And Winter Came.

One Direction will release an al-bum on November 13 titled Made in The A.M. and is available for preorder now. This will be their fi fth studio album.

iPhone 6S, Garbage Robots, and Self-destructive Computer Chips

Xerox Parc engineers have cre-ated a new computer chip that can self-destruct within seconds, in order to protect sensitive documents. Part of DARPA’s Vanishing Programma-ble Resources project, the explosion can be triggered remotely with radio or with a physical switch or button, but currently engineers are detonat-ing with lasers.

The iPhone 6S is the newest model of the iPhone, and was released on September 25 and has gotten rave reviews so far. When comparing the iPhone 6 Plus to the iPhone 6S Plus, the main diff erence is the quality of the camera, which on the iPhone 6 Plus is an 8mp camera and the iPhone 6S Plus’ camera comes in at 12mp.

The internal chip is also an improved chip that Apple’s web-site calls the “A9 chip with 64-bit architecture and an embedded M9 motion coprocessor.” It’s time to get that new upgrade.

Volvo is currently developing automated robots called ROAR(Ro-bot-Based Autonomous Refuse han-dling) to gather trash in neighbor-hoods and dump them in trucks that are linked into the same system as the robots.

This has caused backlash because of the jobs that will be lost if this in-vention becomes the norm. Howev-er, this is a major step in integrating more robots into every day life.

The New Mexico State Chiles rugby team has traveled extensively across the state, as well as the Southwest,

competing against such opponents as UTEP, UNM, and NMT.The Chiles had their fi rst home game this year on September 26, taking on the NMT Pygmies in the lower intramural fi elds, called the rugby pitch. They lost to the Pygmies, 31-27, but Club President Brian Toles remained hopeful.“We have a lot of guys that are new to the sport, so we are just trying to the get them familiarized with it,” he says. “We’ll clean it up.”Their next home game was against the UTEP Miners, which the Chiles also lost, 54-0. Toles

says team members need to be more consistent with attending practices.“We haven’t been getting guys out to practice,” he says. “We haven’t been working together as a team too much, and we can’t execute in a game when people aren’t showing up to practice. (UTEP) took advantage of our mistakes, and I think if we get back out here, get together as a team and work together we should have a solid rest of the season.”If you are interested in watching or playing rugby, the Chiles hold practices Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 5:30 to 7 p.m.The Chiles recently competed in the High Desert Rugby Tournament in Albuquerque.Visit nmsuroundup.wordpress.com to see how they did!

WHO ARE THE NBA’S NEXT STARS?

This season should be marked as a transition year for the league. Last year, the up-and-coming stars proved that they’re now dominating the league (players such as Stephen Curry and

James Harden).

However, it will be interesting to see how many of these players have the sustainability to be a star on a consistent basis. Many of the names that we have come to know in the NBA, Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, are

simply becoming old.

This season will likely be the year that we see the former young guys take their place as the alpha dogs in the league.

Here is everything you need to know as the season approaches, along with the main storylines.

HOW WILL THE CAVS DO?

The Cavaliers had two options this summer, either try to surround LeBron James with diff erent pieces for the long run or stick to the team they had, but also be shelling out some serious

money to keep them.

They chose the latter. With the one exception of Tristian Thompson, the Cavs have remained virtually intact from last year’s fi nals team. It is also imperative to note that last year in the championship series Cleveland was without stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin

Irving may not be back for some time, but Love should be ready to go by opening night. The biggest point of interest to look at here will be how LeBron can lead this team. The star forward is now on the wrong side of 30, and this season could be a transition year, in which he relies more on skill than his athleticism as he has shown

in the past.

HOW WILL KOBE COME BACK?

This has been the third straight season that is pegged as the comeback season for Kobe Bryant from injury. Since 2013, Bryant has struggled to

stay on the fl oor.

When he is on the court, however, although it may take some time, the star still shows signs of brilliance and reminds us all why he is one of the best to ever do it not only at his

position, but all-time.

Bryant is fresh off a shoulder injury that cut short his 2014-2015 season. This time around, it should be interesting to see just how Kobe responds to being 37 years old while on a team that is made up of nothing but young talent.

The NBA season is only weeks away from tipoff. Many of the world’s most popular athletes will be hitting the court once again at the end of the month to embark on yet another 82-game

season, and for some, a post-season run.

Last season saw the Golden State Warriors take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy in the NBA Finals by beating superstar LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games, 4-2, after

the Cavs were up 2-1 in the series but stumbled late.

San Antonio Spurs It’s a preseason power rankings, so naturally the defending champs will be at the top. They have remained relative-ly intact and their best players are still getting better. Expect the Warriors to remain elite.

Already explained above, the Cavs should be on their way to dominating a weak Eastern Conference this year.

No matter how you look at it, Kevin Durant is one of the best players on the planet and that doesn’t change just because of injury. Add in a renewed Russel West-brook and a new coach, and the Thunder, despite missing the playoff s last year, are contenders.

The Heat will welcome back Chris Bosh from a serious personal medical condition last year. They also happen to still have guards Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade to rely on in the backcourt.

The Bulls seem to go as Derrick Rose does, it really does depend just how much they plan to get him involved in regards to how successful they will be this year.

The Grizzlies still have the best center in the NBA in Marc Gasol. This year he is healthy and the entire team will have continuity on their side that many teams ahead and below them do not.

The Hawks still have a team that fi gures to be one of the better passing teams in the league. Atlanta is also coming off of a number one-seeded playoff run last year.

The Rockets added often-troubled guard Ty Lawson to their starting lineup this off -season. Along with Lawson, the Rockets still have cornerstones James Harden and Dwight Howard.

The Clippers retained DeAndre Jordan and added to a weak bench to give them one of the best teams in the league right now. It will be interesting to see if Chris Paul will start showing any signs of aging as he nears 30.

P O W E R R A N K I N G S

The Spurs were able to lure star forward LaMarcus Aldridge to Texas and join an already good team. The addition makes them look like the best team on paper. Team chemistry might be the only thing in their way this season.

The Western Conference is once again going to be an absolute bloodbath at the top of the standings. There are so many quality teams that can likely make the playoff s that almost anyone you go with is a solid choice.

The Eastern Conference? Not so much.

However, starting a tradition of ranking the top teams will be a staple of this weekly NBA column, as well. Here’s how the teams stack up:

The eighth season of New Mexi-co State University’s Look Who’s Dancing! takes place on Sunday,

November 8, and hopes to raise more than $80,000 in order to expand the DanceSport program.The event serves as a fundraiser for NM-SU’s DanceSport Company to send its members, many of whom are dance majors or minors, to national competitions.“In the last three years, we’ve brought home 17 national and national collegiate champi-ons,” says Hannah Cole, the company’s di-rector.Cole says no other college dance team com-petes together at national competitions.Cole says this year is the first time the com-pany has sought to expand. Having previ-ously capped membership at 20, Cole says the company now has 23 members. The increase was the result of more talented stu-dents auditioning for the team than in years past, Cole says.With the support of the local community, Cole says raising the $80,000 is “quite possi-ble,” describing the event, which consists of ballroom dancing, as like a football game.“People will have the opportunity to hoot, holler, boo the judges,” Cole says. “It’s a

very interactive experience.”Look Who’s Dancing, now in its eighth season, was inspired by Dancing With the Stars, and pairs senior members of the company with Las Cruces celebrities—from the pecan industry, Las Cruces Public schools, bank officials, Mary Kay represen-tatives, Las Cruces Homebuilders associ-ates, a hairdresser, and a professor—none of whom have had any dance experience.The students in DanceSport received their partners in the middle of August and have been training ever since, setting their own schedules, designing their own sets and cos-tumes.“It really acts as a practicum for our stu-dents,” Cole says.Cole says awards for first, second, and third places will be given, as will an Entertain-ment Award, a People’s Choice Award, and a Superstar Award.Donny Grooms sits on the company’s vol-unteer committee, and he also received the Entertainment Award in Season 6.“It’s a hell of a lot of hard work and more fun than you’ll ever imagine,” Grooms said.The competition will be followed by a social event at Hotel Encanto.

College students pay for tuition and fees, housing, dining, and

many other costs. On top of major amounts of money already being spent, students must put up a couple thousand into buying books for classes, which can leave their wallets dusty and empty by the end of four or fi ve years.Mfeldstein.com says students spend on average approximately $640 per semester on books. It makes people wonder why books tend to cost so much. What goes into deciding the cost of the books and whether they should be used for the course? Professors do have a say in what

books they use, so why do they choose what they do?Though it’s not a full decision from the professor, they have to decide the importance of the book to the course, no matter the cost. Especially for those professors who wrote their course, a book becomes an essential tool for a professor.

Insurance Industry Needs to Fill

500,000 Positions

By Billy HuntsmanManaging Editor

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates, between 2015 and 2022, the insurance and risk

management industry will need to fill approximately 500,000 positions, due to a predicted retirement increase in that industry in the next decade.Further, a survey by the bureau found only 14,000 RMI undergraduates worldwide.MyPath.org, a website founded in 2013 to promote education and awareness of employment opportunities in the RMI industries, says RMI graduates almost always get jobs right out of college.Additionally, NMSU offers an RMI minor, one of the few academic RMI programs in the nation, and offers much help to students in finding internships.“One of our students interned at AIG in Los Angeles the summer of 2014 and came back to school with a job offer in hand of $65,000,” says Tim Query, a professor in the Department of Finance, which offers the RMI minor, as does the Math Department through its Actuarial Sciences program.In the fall, spring, and summer semesters, Query estimates about 250 students take RMI courses at NMSU, with only 30 to 40 earning the minor. Further, there are only about 55 RMI minors/majors in the nation, mostly east of the Mississippi River.Query agreed with MyPath’s assessment of the need for new hires in the insurance and risk management industries. In the next decade, the number of retirements from the

RMI industries will double the last decade’s, he says.“One stat I saw shows that the number of students studying risk management and insurance (RMI) nationwide is just a fraction of the openings needed to be filled,” he says.

“Not only are the entry-level opportunities abundant, but

the ability to move up the corporate ladder should be strong for this generation and a few years beyond.”

For a résumé to stand out to employers, Query says, it’s a good idea for RMI students to take a series of exams in order to get certification. “We (the IFSC) provide study materials for some exams and subsidize part of the $100-$300 examination or registration fee, more if they pass,” Query says.Students interested in risk management and insurance can receive support both from NMSU’s Insurance & Financial Services Center, as well as national scholarships.“We have about $15,000 in scholarships available to NMSU students,” Query says. “Also, a number of nationally competitive scholarships are also available, and a number of Aggies have successfully applied for those.”

It will no longer be illegal in California for a sick, dying, or suff ering person to end his or her life with the assistance of medical professionals, thanks to

a bill signed into legislation by Governor Edmund Brown on October 5.

Brown, who had long stood silent in regards to where he stood on the issue of the right to die, says he signed the bill into legislation after contemplating what he would want in the face of his own encroaching death.

Californians Against Assisted Suicide, an anti-right-to-die group, says the right-to-die bill will benefi t only those with wealth, such as Brown, and hurt those “living in healthcare poverty.”

“These are the people and families potentially hurt by giving doctors the power to prescribe lethal overdoses to patients,” the group says in a statement released to the press.

The group additionally says they are reviewing all of its options moving forward.

The issue of right to die was initially brought to the forefront of controversy by Dr. Jack Kevorkian in the 1990s. The issue was reawakened by Brittany Maynard last year, diagnosed with brain cancer at the beginning of the year.

Because of the then-illegality of assisted suicide in California, Maynard moved to Oregon, where it was (and remains) legal. She took an overdose of medication provided her by doctors.
