BSA Jamboree comes to close omar ghabra editor-in-chief

For the past 10 days, more than 40,000 Boy Scouts have congregated at The Summit – the newly constructed Boy Scout camp just outside of Beckley, W.Va – for the 18th National Boy Scout Jamboree. These gatherings are typically held every four years and serve as the largest national gathering of Boy Scouts in the United States.

Though in the past they have been held at different sites, The Summit is slated to be the permanent location for all future jamborees.

This year’s jamboree kicked off on June 15 and will be coming to a close Wednesday. With more than 40,000 Scouts converging on The Summit for the duration of this gathering, the jamboree site has been West Virginia’s third most-populous city for the past 10 days.

Many across the state, from politicians to Boy Scout members, have touted the benefits of the jamboree’s permanent move to the Mountain State. Senior West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller, whose involvement in West Virginia politics was inspired by his community ser-

vice in the state, was excited about the pubic service aspect of the jamboree and its long-term implications for the state.

“Leave it to West Virginia to embrace, with open arms and hearts, the Boy Scouts’ call to community service,” Rockefeller said. “Public service is in our bloodstream and something that we come to naturally in West Virginia. Our deep sense of ‘neighbor-helping-neighbor’ is a perfect match for the Boy Scouts’ mission and legacy as a public service organization.”

Alumni Association offers ‘travel pack’ for fans traveling to OU football game

By Meghan Bonomo staff writer

Football season is just around the corner, and the West Virginia University Alumni Association has created a package to help fans get on the road and rooting for the Mountaineers.

Each year the Alumni Association puts together a travel package for alumni and friends of WVU to get out, see the sights and enjoy Big 12 football outside of Morgantown.

This year, the Oklahoma game – scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 7 – has been selected for the package. The association bases its choice on alumni preferences.

“When you talk with alumni, Oklahoma is the road game that has them excited,” said Tara Curtis, communications director of the WVU Alumni Association. “In addition, Oklahoma has a storied football program with wonderful tradition.”

“We try to schedule trips where we know that alumni want to travel, as well as areas where there are other opportunities for fans to enjoy,” she said. “Last year we chose Texas; this year, it’s Oklahoma.”

This is the first trip to Oklahoma, and WVU fans have a lot to get excited about.

Fans who take part can expect the trip to include hotel accommoda-

that aren’t available at other sites, such as whitewater rafting or ziplining,” Seebaugh said.

“It’s also huge for the state, because it exposes all these people, who are outdoor-oriented people, to all the great things our state has to offer in that regard. Then, of course, there are the economic benefits of having 40,000 Scouts and all the staff involved in the event converging on one place in the state,” he said.

Student Recreation Center director reflects on 12 years of service to WVU community

By Carlee Lammers Managing Editor

For 12 years, the Student Recreation Center at West Virginia University has aimed to improve the overall quality of student fitness and wellness on campus.

And that’s something to celebrate.

“The students needed a facility that they could call their own to meet their needs and interests in areas of fitness and wellness,” said Dave Taylor, SRC director. “Prior to the Rec, there were no recreational facilities dedicated to our students”.

Last week, the SRC celebrated its 12th anniversary.

Taylor, who has served as the SRC director since 1997, said he was proud to help make a dream

West Virginia University Student Body Vice President Benjamin Seebaugh, who has been a member of the Boy Scouts for more than eight years, believes West Virginia is the perfect candidate to host the national gathering and is confident the positive impact of this move will be far-reaching.

The package is what the association would normally call a “land-only” package.

“Travelers will get themselves to Oklahoma and then, if they are part of our travel party, they will enjoy the amenities previously described,” Curtis said.

Coincidentally, while WVU faces OU that weekend, WVU’s former football players Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey kick off their careers in St. Louis for the Rams.

“It’s great that St. Louis is playing that same weekend, and we certainly hope alumni will consider making a stop in St. Louis,” Curtis said. “Our Gateway Chapter in St. Louis is coordinating an event to get WVU alumni to the game to cheer on our former football stars.”

WVU’s football fans are encouraged to take advantage of this package to not only support the team but to enjoy being among Mountaineer alumni and friends alike.

“The WVU Alumni Association is pleased to be able to provide alumni and fans with a unique travel opportunity that allows them to

Students voice traffic, noise concerns with Downtown construction sites

By Caroline Peters Staff writer

Some West Virginia University students are worried the University’s new construction projects will put a delay on their everyday activity, as this summer has seen roadway construction and increased traffic.

Students are worried the traffic will only increase when the semester begins and thousands of students return.

“I have encountered multiple traffic backups on University (Avenue) where the construction is taking place in Sunnyside,“ said Scott Fowler, a sport and exercise physiology student at WVU. “When students come back, and the num-

ber of students with cars increases dramatically, the construction will become a greater inconvenience.”

Fowler is not the only student who has encountered delays this summer.

“Construction has impacted the pace of traffic hugely, and it’s only summer. Recently, I sat on Beechurst for 15 minutes,” said WVU student Becca Burkhardt. “The construction on Stewart Street and University Avenue make it almost impossible to get into my apartment sometimes.”

Aside from students returning, West Virginia University’s upcoming semester encounters Mountaineer fans that fill

CPASS receives largest-ever gift from late professor

By Ashley Tennant Staff writer

The West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (CPASS) received its largest donation since its founding in 1970 – approximately $3.4 million – from the late professor Patricia K. Fehl.

Dana Brooks, dean and professor at the College of Physical Activity & Sport Sciences, said they received the donation about a year ago, but it had to go through the estate planning and the processes that the

executive of state had to go through before being allowed access to the money.

“The funds will go toward a number of College funds, including Dr. Pat Fehl Undergraduate Scholarships, an endowed professorship and an academic enhancement endowment,” Brooks said. “The donation will also be used to support the Dr. Pat Fehl International Program Endowment, wellness/health fund, and a substantial part of it will go toward finishing the new CPASS building and lab support.”

Brooks said the 32,000 square foot building is already being built now, but they are not scheduled to move in until the fall semester of 2014.

“Basically all of the money that was given to the college will go back to the students and faculty, because you have to understand that an endowment is professorship, but it does impact students,” he said.

“Also, funds will go toward international traveling in terms of students and faculty traveling and students’ exchange.

“So yes, inevitably it all goes back to the students.”

Brooks said Dr. Fehl was a professor and a department chair at CPASS who had a tremendous impact on the graduates. “ “She oversaw the Base Instruction Program, which are activity classes offered for credit,” Brooks said.

“During her time here, she had a lot of teaching assistants who not only taught activity classes, but they also worked towards their masters/doctrine degrees by having tuition wavers.

“Fehl, who died in July

2012, served as administrator and department chair of general physical education at CPASS from 197389. She was highly recognized in her profession by having leadership roles and particularly in an area of recreation and parks,” Brooks said. “She loved to teach.”

Brooks said she saw it as Fehl’s way of giving back by supporting students in the next generation of professionals.

“Her gift will help move the college forward in meeting our strategic goals,

which focus on student success, diversity, wellness, and internationalization,” she said.

Brooks said the college is very grateful and appreciative for Fehl’s generous gift.

“Her gift falls nicely into the strategic plan of the university and to the college, so there is excitement and joy and opportunity to grow and expand our academic programs,” she said.

TRAFFIC

Continued from page 1 up the city on game days.

“Traffic is always really bad on game days,” said education student Melody Kaplan. “People will not be prepared for closed roads, and construction will not help the situation.”

“The University needs to do something. My suggestion is to limit the hours of construction,” Burkhardt said. “University and Beechurst should never be down to one lane during the day. Lastly, we need more signage on the roundabout on the Mileground so people know how to use it when they return for the semester.”

“I typically try not to take routes that don’t even go near the construction,” said Morgan Stemple, a WVU business student. “I like to avoid the construction, so I don’t have to deal with it.”

However, Stemple said she believes the return of students for the fall semester will cause a dilemma on the roads.

“Thousands of people are going to be here. The majority of kids need a car, especially the ones with classes on Medical and Engineering,” she said. “It’s good that Sunnyside is changing for the better, but traffic and places to keep your car is a big problem here in Morgantown.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Commenting on the recent reversal of the Boy Scouts ban on gay members, Seebaugh hailed it as an important sign of progress.

I, for one, am really pleased by the new policy which allows scouts who identify as gay to be a part of the organization,” he said. “I think it’s a big step for the Boy Scouts and a big step for the LGBT community.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Michelle Obama urged Latino activists on Tuesday to help sign people up for her husband’s health care overhaul, especially the millions of younger, healthier people the system will need to offset the cost of caring for older, sicker consumers.

The first lady said that, starting July 31, consumers can create an account at www.healthcare.gov , or www.cuidadodesalud.gov , its Spanish-language equivalent, so they can get ready to sign up for health insurance in the fall, starting on Oct. 1.

“Simply passing the Affordable Care Act was not the goal,” Mrs. Obama said at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, a Latino advocacy group. “The goal is to get folks to sign up for the insurance so they have the care they need to stay healthy.”

She emphasized “the need to reach out to our young people” since their participation is key to the law’s success.

The Obama administration is looking for about 7 million people to sign up for health insurance through marketplaces that are supposed to become available online starting Oct. 1. More

than 2.6 million younger enrollees are needed to keep costs down for the overall pool, the White House has said.

Nearly one-third of these young people live in California, Texas and Florida.

“So we need to send them to those websites which have all the information they need about health reform,” Mrs. Obama said.

In the remarks, the first lady tied the push to get the uninsured to sign up for health care to her campaign against childhood obesity, which she said is seriously affecting the health of Latino children. She called the epidemic a policy, public health, family and community issue, and urged families to make the right diet and exercise choices for children who don’t know enough to make the smart decisions on their own.

“We know better. And that is one of the greatest gifts we can pass on to our children.

This is a gift,” she said.

The first lady also mentioned immigration policy, saying President Barack Obama is working and fighting “every step of the way” on what is a priority issue for the president and for the group. The Senate has passed an immigration bill,

but prospects in the House are less clear.

“But do not give up, because I promise you that my husband won’t give up until a good bill gets on his desk,” she said.

Benjamin Hernandez, a Houston resident who works for the city’s Department of Health and Human Services, said he was thrilled that the first lady encouraged Latinos to sign up for health insurance.

“We have a lot of challenges in terms of obesity and chronic disease, so the more we get people on these programs, the more we get them on the health insurance exchanges, the better it is for the entire population,” he said.

Mrs. Obama’s remarks are part of a determined effort by the administration to inform the public about the health care law and its benefits as Oct. 1 nears. On Monday, Obama dropped in on a private White House meeting with celebrities including singer Jennifer Hudson and actors Amy Poehler and Kal Penn. The White House said the artists expressed interest in helping spread the word about the health insurance marketplaces opening Oct. 1.

“Dave will be sorely missed as he begins a new chapter in life and his wellearned retirement.”

Taylor said that even in his absence, he hopes to see the SRC continue to grow and serve WVU students.

Taylor said he believes the SRC has improved not only the quality of health and wellness on campus but also retention rates.

“The Student Recreation Center had definitely improved the quality of student life on the West Virginia University campus. The Center has also significantly assisted in the recruitment and retention of students at West Virginia University,” he said.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my 43 years of profes-

sional service to WVU and will miss the daily contact with the Student Recreation Center staff, students and faculty and staff members.”

Experiencing first-hand entertainment in New York City Shawnee Moran A&E WRITER

New York City is well known for its endless opportunities in the entertainment industry.

The Big Apple is home to a variety of performers and entertainers, as well as tourists flocking to experience the exquisite bars and nightlife of Manhattan – in particular, the renowned Times Square.

From hit Broadway musicals to comedy clubs, there is practically every form of entertainment available in this heavily populated, fluorescent city.

Recently, while visiting my dear friend, actress and model Genevieve Yosco, I experienced first-hand what New York’s entertainment industry has to offer.

From seeing extraordinary Broadway shows to being involved in a photo shoot, I was put right in the center of the entertainment industry.

For the past three years, I have visited Genevieve and explored the bustling city.

After graduating from Morgantown High School, she moved back to New Jersey to be closer to acting and modeling jobs in New York.

After commuting back and forth for a year and a half, she now lives in the heart of Brooklyn, reaping the benefits of a well-deserved career.

Each time I visit, Genevieve makes sure my stay is

packed with wonderful and exciting plans. This year, in addition to seeing “Avenue Q” and “Rock of Ages” on Broadway, Genevieve wanted me to experience what exactly she does for a living, so she organized a photo shoot for us.

This was no ordinary photo shoot. With two highly talented models and a phenomenal photographer joining us, this shoot was the opportunity of a lifetime for me. This modern day fairy tale photo shoot, set in the gorgeous Central Park, was perfect in every aspect.

But this photo shoot was no walk in the park by any means.

As we arrived at the beautiful location, the Belvedere Castle and Shakespeare Garden in Central Park, the sun beat down on us relentlessly.

New York was not exempt from the heat wave that swept the country last week. Although the temperature did not beat the hottest day recorded in Central Park (a whopping 106 degrees on July 9, 1936), during the photo shoot the highest temperature observed was a stifling 98 degrees.

We sat in the shade and eagerly awaited the arrival of the other models – Laura Kendall, who would portray the Little Mermaid in the shoot, and two additional male models, who would take turns portraying princes. However, extra stress was put on Genevieve

when one male model did not show up.

“This is the first photo shoot that I organized on my own, and the lead up was pretty stressful,” Yosco said. “Several models dropped out during various points leading up to the shoot.

“One guy didn’t even bother to show up and never told me why. It was pretty frustrating.”

But as they say in show business, “the show must go on.”

We began to tackle these obstacles one by one. Lewis, the only male model of the shoot, stepped up his game and worked overtime to ensure that all of the models had someone to partner with. As the temperature continued to rise, we switched between exposed and shaded areas of the park to remain cool.

As my turn approached, I grew very nervous. I was surrounded by such incredibly talented individuals, each with years of training and experience, in addition to passers-by who were observing the shoot.

I soon found out that I had no reason to be anxious. With the kindness, support and direction of the photographer and models, I was perfectly at ease. Not only did I learn a few tricks about modeling, I also accumulated some newfound knowledge about photography.

Despite our best efforts to remain cool, we were no match for the heat. Three

Regardless of the setbacks and obstacles we encountered during the photo shoot, everyone seemed pleased with the end result.

“I am immensely proud of everyone that I booked,” Yosco said. “Laura, portraying the Little Mermaid, was absolutely stunning!

“Our one and only prince, Lewis, worked so hard for us and I’m eternally grateful. “(Our photographer’s) portfolio is spectacular, and he did not disappoint.”

Kendall, who had several

breathtaking shots by the lake, had a wonderful time.

“This particular job was especially fun, despite the insane record temperatures, because we really got the chance to fully step into the concept of the ‘fairytale’ with the costumes and the setting,” Kendall said. “I love working as a model in New York, because every shoot that I do is different.

“They bring me to new locations, let me explore new concepts and meet new people.”

Naturally, we are all eager to see the pictures from the photo shoot; however, it’ll be a while before they are released. The pictures

from the photo shoot, once narrowed down to a manageable amount, will be sent in to Gladys Magazine in the hopes of being published.

If I could pass off any knowledge from my trip, it would be this: take advantage of what Morgantown has to offer, especially WVU’s Art Series. Whenever they say that touring musicals feature the same quality as Broadway shows, they aren’t kidding. They are just as phenomenal as the ones you see on stage in NYC for a fraction of the cost. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘The Conjuring’ brings back old-school horror film style and horrifies viewers CAROL FOX A&E WRITER

In my opinion, there are few things in this world creepier than porcelain dolls.

It might be their period costumes, their piercing eyeballs and menacingly lifeless stares or their pale, icy skin.

Or it could be the fact that my aunt used to collect them, and when I would visit her I had to stay in the room where they “lived.”

“The Conjuring,” which opened in theaters Friday, commands the audience’s attention from the very beginning with the story of a pair of paranormal investigators, who present their research on a demon-possessed porcelain doll that frightens its 20-something owners by leaving them notes and seemingly moving of its own volition.

Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air,” “Source Code”) and Patrick Wilson (“Hard Candy,” “Watchmen”) play the reallife investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, who are probably best known for their work on the Amityville Horror case.

And, though they started their New England Society for Psy-

chic Research in 1952, at this point in the early ‘70s, when the film begins, the Warrens have begun garnering quite a lot of attention for their work.

Meanwhile, the Perron family has just moved in to their new home, a huge 19th century farmhouse, so they can have a fresh start with their five daughters. Carolyn Perron, played by Lili Taylor (“I Shot Andy Warhol,” “Six Feet Under”) and Roger Perron, played by Ron Livingston (“Office Space,” “Swingers”), appear to be loving, nurturing parents.

The first night in their new home, the Perrons find a boarded-up basement they didn’t know existed before they bought the house. The opening of the basement unleashes the demonic spirit of a witch that was the farm’s original owner, and she begins to wreak havoc on the family.

When the supernatural occurrences get to be too overwhelming, the Perrons decide to seek out the Warrens.

Though Ed is reluctant at first because of Lorraine’s sensitivity to spirits, they resolve to help the family rid their home of the malevolent spirit. However, it’s one of the most powerful cases the Warrens have

faced, and their exorcist isn’t going to make it in time.

I have absolutely no complaints about any of the actors’ performances in the film, which is a rare occurrence.

No one really stuck out, and each actor seemed to live in the character they were portraying, exuding fear and surprise and conveying the burdensome worry a haunting would cause their family. Both Farmiga and Wilson spent some time in the Warren’s Connecticut home before filming, and Farmiga does a stellar job of capturing the mannerisms and spirit of Lorraine.

Though Lorraine was a consultant for the film, even spending some days on set, almost everyone agrees that “The Conjuring” takes some liberties with the truth of what really happened. However, whether or not Carolyn Perron was possessed and exorcized is less important than what the filmmakers were able to do, which was breathe some life into a tired, listless genre.

This film harkens back to those older horror movies that scared the bejesus out you as a kid. And it relies heavily on classic horror movie tropes.

Large old house in the middle of nowhere, check. Mirrors, check. Creaking floorboards and slamming doors, check. Dolls and other creepy toys, check. Dark abandoned basement, check. Demons and possession, check. I could keep going.

I don’t mean to suggest that relying on tropes is a bad

thing. The truth is, the filmmakers use all of these devices because they work. I literally screamed and jumped out of my seat multiple times throughout the film, and I don’t scare easily.

In order to really enjoy “The Conjuring,” though, you need to be along for the ride. You’re not meant to watch this ironi-

cally or laugh at the theatricality of it like many recent horror films. You have to be willing to invest yourself completely in the plot in order to really get scared.

But with the compelling plot of“The Conjuring,” that shouldn’t be difficult to do. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Prince William and wife, Kate, show off newborn baby boy amid media frenzy LONDON (AP) — A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, emerged from a London hospital on Tuesday with their newborn baby boy, presenting the world with a first glimpse of the prince who is third in line to the British throne.

The royal couple, both 31, looked happy and relaxed as they waved at the crowds of journalists and onlookers gathered outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, posing for photographs and joking with reporters.

Kate, wearing a baby blue polka dot Jenny Packham dress, smiled and waved as she stepped out from the hospital doors with the future monarch in her arms.

“It’s very emotional. It’s such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like,” she told journalists.

Kate then gave the baby to her husband, who, cradling their child, said: “He’s got her looks, thankfully. He’s got a good pair of lungs on him, that’s for sure.”

William added: “He’s a big boy. He’s quite heavy,” and laughed when a reporter asked him about the baby’s hair.

“He’s got way more than me, thank God,” he said.

The couple also revealed that William has had a go at changing the infant’s first diaper. “He’s very good at it,” Kate said.

The new parents drew whoops and excited ap-

plause from well-wishers as they revealed the newest member of Britain’s royal family. William said they’re still trying to decide what to name the little prince.

The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William drove them away - palace officials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace and spend the night there.

The young family’s first public appearance together has been the moment that the world’s media and crowds of onlookers camped outside the hospital had long been waiting for, and the photographs snapped Tuesday are likely to be reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king.

The appearance recalls a similar one three decades ago, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried a newborn William out to pose for photographs on the same steps in 1982.

Katie Allan, 26, was elated to witness the 2013 edition.

“William gave us a wave as they drove away so it was perfect. Days like this really bring the country together,” she said.

Earlier, William’s father, Charles, and his wife, Camilla, as well as Michael and Carole Middleton - Kate’s parents - visited the young family at the hospital.

Charles called the baby

“marvelous,” while a beaming Carole Middleton described the infant as “absolutely beautiful.”

The couple’s Kensington Palace office said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to the 8 pound, 6 ounce (3.8 kilogram) baby boy at 4:24 p.m. Monday.

The news was greeted with shrieks of joy and applause by hundreds of Britons and tourists gathered outside the hospital’s private Lindo Wing and Buckingham Palace.

Revelers staged impromptu parties at both locations, and large crowds crushed against the palace gates to try to catch a glimpse - and a photograph - of the golden easel placed there to formally announce the birth.

In London, gun salutes were fired, celebratory lights came on, and bells chimed at Westminster Abbey, where William and Kate wed in a lavish ceremony that drew millions of television viewers worldwide.

Halfway around the world, royalist group Monarchy New Zealand said it had organized a national light show, with 40 buildings across the islands lit up in blue to commemorate the royal birth, including Sky Tower in Auckland, the airport in Christchurch, and Larnach Castle in the South Island city of Dunedin.

A similar lighting ceremony took place in Canada;

Peace Tower and Parliament buildings in the capital, Ottawa, were bathed in blue light, as was CN Tower in Toronto.

British media joined in the celebration, with many newspapers printing souvenir editions.

“It’s a Boy!” was splashed across many front pages, while Britain’s top-selling

The Sun newspaper temporarily changed its name to “The Son” in honor of the tiny monarch-in-waiting.

The birth is the latest driver of a surge in popularity for Britain’s monarchy, whose members have evolved, over several decades of social and technological change, from distant figures to characters in a well-loved national soap

opera.

“I think this baby is hugely significant for the future of the monarchy,” said Kate’s biographer, Claudia Joseph.

For some, though, it was all a bit much.

“It’s a baby, nothing else,” said Tom Ashton, a 42-yearold exterminator on his way to work. “It’s not going to mean anything to my life.”

Understanding dangers of hookah smoke

Smoking hookah, also commonly referred to as shisha, is a relatively new fad that is rapidly spreading across college campuses nationwide.

A hookah is a multi-stemmed water pipe that has been used to smoke tobacco in the Middle East for centuries. Hookahs have recently gained popularity in other parts of the world.

Because this is a new phenomenon in the United States, the general public is ignorant of many of the potential dangers of hookah smoke. Since hookahs are becoming especially prominent on college campuses (including right here in Morgantown), it is impor-

tant for students to understand the risks posed by them.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Wake Forest School of Medicine found that 40 percent of college students in North Carolina had smoked hookah before.

Of those, 22 percent admitted to being regular hookah users and say they had never smoked a cigarette before.

This statistic highlights a major perception problem surrounding hookah smoke.

While it’s not entirely clear why this is the case, the study found that many students believe smoking hookah is not as dangerous as other forms of smoking.

One of the most popular myths backing this assumption is the claim that the water at the base of the hookah filters out many of the toxins from the tobacco.

Unfortunately, this assumption is far from the truth. A study that was published by the World Health Organization found that only 5 percent of nicotine is filtered out by the water in the hookah.

It also found that hookah smoke contained many of the same carcinogens present in cigarette smoke. The coals used to heat the hookah also release carbon monoxide, a gas that is highly toxic to humans.

Additionally, a typical hookah

smoke session lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. These prolonged smoking sessions increase exposure to the carcinogenic substances in the smoke. The WHO found that smoking hookah over such a long period of time was the equivalent of smoking 100 cigarettes.

Even if it is only done periodically, smoking hookah exposes an individual to the same risks that smoking cigarettes or cigars would.

While it is up to the individual to decide whether or not to indulge in smoking hookah, this decision should be made with the potential risks in mind.

OP-ED COMMENTARY

Worst companies to work for in America Celeste lantz copy desk chief

Let’s take a poll. How many of you think you have the worst employer?

I’m sure more than a few of you raised your hands.

For the second year, 24/7 Wall Street has tallied the worst companies to work for in 2013. To do so, they looked at employee reviews on Glassdoor, a jobs and career community site.

The website allows voters to rank their employers on a scale of one to five. Of more than 250,000 companies measured, 24/7 Wall Street determined the nine with the lowest scores.

Not surprisingly, the biggest were in retail. Those four were Dillard’s Inc., Sears Holdings Corporation, Dollar General Corporation, and RadioShack Corp.

The others ranked lowest were involved with installation and repair, such as The ADT Corporation and DISH Network Corp., which was named the worst, meanest company to work for in 2012 for long work hours, no paid holidays and compulsory overtime.

Radioshack is one of the worst, with most reviews complaining about customer service and poor employee interaction with customers. The employees are paid incredibly low wages and only get commission on select products, regardless of sales on others.

Employees at all levels had some sort of com-

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

RadioShack was ranked among the worst employers in a recent study. plaint about their employers, but the majority of low ratings came from lower-paid workers on the front end, such as sales reps and customer service representatives.

Some of the biggest complaints also came from problems with middle management. Most workers felt they were being mi-

cromanaged or asked to meet extreme demands.

What are companies doing about these unhappy workers? Often nothing, or such superficial changes that they don’t make a bit of difference.

The problem isn’t the workers; it’s the companies. So why aren’t they listening?

Well, to begin, changing management strategies, offering higher pay, better hours and paid holidays requires effort and financial sacrifice from upper management. These companies are competing with larger companies and online services that are slowly making them obsolete. As a result, the owners want to

maximize profit and minimize cost and often don’t invest much back into their own companies – to the detriment of their workers.

And of course, the workers often aren’t in a position to quit these jobs or demand better treatment, even if the economy is starting to recover.

So what does this mean

for these disgruntled employees? Unfortunately, not much more can be done than writing negative reviews on sites like Glassdoor.

Until companies start caring more about the people they employ, American citizens are stuck with depressing, menial jobs at indifferent corporations.

The decline of the Internet kirk auvil columnist

In this day and age, everyone has heard the term net neutrality. It’s the idea that nobody gets to handle different types of data on the Internet differently, no matter what that data may be. It seems that nobody can be against such a proposal.

Of course, people should be able to do what they want on the Internet. They are paying for the right to do so.

Nobody is paying to have internet service providers dictate what they should be using the internet to do. The customer is always right; this is America, and in America, you get what you pay for.

This discrimination

against certain types of data impacts many users’ Internet experiences every day.

Nowadays, many Internet users are experiencing poor service when trying to enjoy some of the more bandwidth-intensive applications such as Netflix or online video games. If you have ever found yourself waiting for a Netflix video to buffer while the rest of your Internet is running perfectly fine, you may very well be a victim of this practice. If you are one of the 32 million active players who enjoys the online game League of Legends, you are acutely aware of the data discrimination, as it has been plaguing players of that game for several weeks now.

Why do ISPs do this?

Well, the ISPs who are guilty

of this practice are generally too short on the infrastructure to properly accommodate the traffic they are called upon to handle. This is because they’re too cheap to upgrade their systems sufficiently to handle the traffic, and they put data-intensive applications like the ones mentioned previously on the chopping block, harshly degrading users’ experiences to make up for their own inadequacies.

So nearly everybody is in favor of the freedom to use the Internet however they choose, and net neutrality seems like a no-brainer. So why are companies not adhering to it?

Basically, this is because they’re run by greedy pricks who refuse to spend a dime more than they have to, no

matter how badly they’re screwing their customers.

Of course nobody starts a company without hoping to make a profit. That’s obvious, and the more slackjawed opponents of net neutrality might point to this as the answer. They can’t, these gibbering troglodytes would answer, as they are in the business to make money above all.

Here’s the thing. Nearly every ISP in this country has a totally captive audience.

They don’t really have other options except for mediocre satellite Internet or small mom ‘n pop ISPs whose business is run through the big guys anyway. These companies are preying on the fact that they essentially have no competition in their areas and take advantage of

this fact by forcing customers to deal with the shoddy service as-is.

They don’t have to worry about making money. People are always going to want Internet, and many ISPs already have geographical monopolies. The market will always be there; it’s not like people nationwide are suddenly opting to cancel their internet and become Luddites or anything. So why are these ISPs acting like this is all some desperate cash grab right before the whole Internet goes belly up?

Investing in infrastructure in a thriving industry is far from a waste. Making money and making your customers happy are not mutually exclusive. Please, ISPs – stop screwing your customers over, and get with the times.

Data-intensive applications are the norm now, and it’s not your place to decide who should be able to use what.

Stop all of the pissing contests over whose data should travel over what network, and start behaving like responsible companies.

It’s hard to imagine these shoddy practices flying in any other business, probably because they are not monopolies.

Would you eat at a restaurant if they kept bringing you half of your order and charging you full price? Would you pay a painter who only painted half of your fence?

Presumably, the answer is “no.”

It’s just not how things work, and the sooner we send that message to these delusional ISPs the better.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR Born today This year you’ll rely on your intuition, and you’ll land well. An associate understands the requirement of responding to this feeling, and he or she will encourage you. If you are single, you are likely to meet many people on your path.

Check out each person with care, and make sure that he or she is emotionally available. Be willing to walk away from what doesn’t work. If you are attached, be aware of what is motivating you, and understand the role your significant other plays. Give this person as much acknowledgment as possible. PISCES is a dreamer, but he or she can sort reality from fiction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might have pushed the limits with a close associate. Your ability to manifest your ideas allows

greater adaptability, and it also gives you the strength to deal with problems. How you see a situation could change because of a partner’s feeling. Tonight: Keep it light and easy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Dealing with someone who is as stubborn as you are could be difficult. You will stand your ground, but so will he or she. Involve a third person to help both of you get off your positions. Friends or associates will pitch in and try to point to the solution. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Decide how much confidence you have in someone’s mental processes.

If you become triggered, detach. A serious discussion could point to a more effective way of handling an issue. Be responsive to an elder or a boss who needs extra time. Tonight:

A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use your creativity. You have the ability to visualize a different solution or outcome based on a new type of thinking. Break past any personal limitations. You will be able to make the correct decision if you are able to tune in to your intuitive side. Tonight: Whatever feels right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Someone around you will be inspiring. Brainstorming together unleashes unusual creativity, and oneon-one relating takes you to the next level. This person is very different. Please note his or her vagueness in certain matters. Tonight: Happiest out of the house.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Others seek you out, but you might opt to close your door and screen

your calls. You can deal with only so much energy right now. Realize what could happen without sufficient structure and time. You might find that to be a scary thought, on some level. Tonight: As you wish.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Emphasize the structure of your day-today lifestyle. As you evolve to a new level of understanding, you’ll come to terms with other possibilities. Consider making a change to your environment in order to get yourself out of a rut. Use caution with funds. Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH What soon will be evident is how shut down you have been as of late. Your intuition could take you down a new path, if you simply learn to go with the flow. Tap into your intellectual side, but do not deny the power of your feelings. Tonight: Add more ro-

mance to your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay close to home, and honor your bottom line when dealing with others. You have a way of looking at a situation that remains unique. If you need to get past a problem, the time to do so is now.

Recognize what is happening with a close family member. Tonight: Head home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be discreet in handling a personal matter. Return calls, and schedule a meeting if possible. It appears that an associate or friend wants to head off on his or her own crusade. Emphasize what is important to you in a long-overdue talk with this person. Tonight: Feeling let down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HHHH Use the morning to finish extra work, but try not to get too caught up in a project. You might be concerned about a financial matter, as you can’t seem to get enough clarity. Don’t take a risk if a money offer feels unusually dicey. Tonight: Work within your budget, and set limits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Let your personality melt barriers, especially with someone at a distance.

An ongoing problem needs to come to a conclusion, so have a long-overdue discussion. Be open to feedback, even if you feel as though the person has a rigid point of view. Tonight: A favorite pastime.

‘The Little Mermaid’ makes a splash ... in the Steel City

Billy Bustamante, Pittsburgh CLO

Ariel, played by Jessica Grove, and Eric, played by Nick Adams, sing to one another during the final number.

BY MEL MORaeS ART DIRECTOR

In a theater jam-packed with wriggling, excited small children, glowing parents and warm-hearted young adults, the scene was set. Sounds of bubbles, crashing waves and magical twinkles filled the air in a theatre ready to dive under the sea with Ariel and friends.

Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera’s “The Little Mermaid” was a delight for all ages, complete with lively characters, slapstick humor and a classic romance between a mermaid and prince.

Though a few of the musical selections were not recognizable from the classic Disney film, they were instrumental in carrying the story along and provided a deeper look into the character of Ariel and Prince Eric.

Jessica Grove provided a bright-eyed, vibrant character as Ariel and brought to the part the youth and grace it requires. Her delivery of the well-known song, “Part of Your World” was effortless and drove audience

members in their late 20’s to visible, obvious happy tears of nostalgia. Grove was fearless, belting the notes while floating on an invisible wire above the stage in a combination of bravery and impeccable vocal training.

Stand-out numbers showcased throughout the musical included a diva-like tune, “She’s In Love” performed by Ariel’s six mersisters; “Positoovity” performed by Scuttle and the gulls in a tap-dancing birds troupe on the shore, and, undoubtedly the showstealer of the evening, “Under the Sea” by Sebastian and the sea creatures.

This classic best-known song of the show took the children to the edge of their seats as sea anemones came to life, dancing and singing for Ariel with Sebastian.

Alan Mingo Jr., the scenestealing actor behind the animated island crab, provided perfect comedic timing as the distressed friend of rebellious Ariel.

No Disney classic is complete without an evil villain, and Liz McCartney brought just the right amount of viciousness to the character of

ments of the show were meshed together to appropriately set the tone, including gorgeous, colorful costumes that allowed mermaids and sea creatures to glide across the stage, lighting to provide the underwater illusion and scenery that differentiated the underwater scenes from those on the shore.

The magic created on the Benedum Center’s stage was made possible

by Director Glenn Casale as well as choreographer John MacInnis, scenic designer Kenneth Foy, lighting designer Charlie Morrison and costume designers Amy Clark and Mark Koss.

“The Little Mermaid,” performed July 9-21 was part of Pittsburgh CLO’s six-production summer season, along with “42nd Street” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Upcoming performances of “Kopit & Yeston’s Phantom” will be held July 30-Aug. 4.

Ursula, the sea witch. With many elementary schoolaged children in the audience, McCartney was loud and brassy when necessary, but also did well to creepily stroke her tentacles with a demonic gaze while lamenting in the song, “Poor Unfortunate Souls.”

Special lighting effects and roller-skating tricks used for the eels (Flotsam and Jetsam, played by Scott Leiendecker and Sean Patrick Doyle, respectively) added to the dangerous tone presented in Ursula’s lair.

Grace Levine, a thirdgrader at Marion Elementary School in a pink party dress, skipped out of the theater post-show, clutching an Ariel figurine.

“My favorite part was when Ariel and Eric almost kissed in the boat, and Sebastian was singing,” she said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Amanda Bynes has been hospitalized for a mental health evaluation after a witness said he spotted flames on her pant legs from a small gasoline fire in the driveway of a California home.

Deputies responding to a 911 call on Monday night said the 27-year-old actress had started the fire in the driveway in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County sheriff’s Capt. Don Aguilar said.

KABC-TV said the flames were fueled by gasoline.

Deputies determined that

Bynes met the criteria for a mental health hold and took her into custody, where she can be held for 72 hours of observation, Aguilar said.

Passer-by Andrew Liverpool told KABC he found Bynes.

“It’s dark, it’s 8:45 and I just see her laying down, stomach up and her pant legs on fire, a trail of, you know, fire and gas, and I pull over,” he said.

No charges were filed and responding fire officials did not administer any medical care, Aguilar said.

Richard Hutton and David Feldman, who are listed as

Bynes’ attorneys in industry databases, refused to comment.

The former Nickelodeon actress has had several runins with the law. In December, she resolved a misdemeanor hit-and-run case after entering into a civil settlement with other drivers.

She was charged last fall with driving on a suspended license after it was temporarily taken away from her following two hit-and-run cases.

She also pleaded not guilty to drunken driving in a separate case.

Earlier this month Bynes ap-

peared in a New York court on allegations that she chucked a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Bynes was one of the hottest actors on children’s TV. Beginning in 2000, she won four consecutive Kids Choice Awards for best television actress, the first for her role in the ensemble kids comedy-variety show “All That,” and the others for her starring vehicle “The Amanda Show.” She also appeared in the films “Big Fat Liar” and “What A Girl Wants.”

TARGET ON HIS BACK

To avoid targeting, coordinator of officials Walt Anderson wants coaches to simply tell their players to lower the contact zone. WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen is going to bring in Big 12 officials during training camp in order to inform his players of what they can and cannot do during games.

“We’re going to be organized with it and try to present it in the best way that we possibly can,” Holgorsen said. “We’ll have the referees address it with them, and we’ll make sure, as coaches, that we understand their presentation.

NCAA’s new targeting rule could affect hard-hitting safety Karl Joseph multimedia editor

DALLAS — West Virginia safety Karl Joseph made a variety of game-changing plays by making impact hits throughout the 2012 season. Finishing his freshman campaign with a team-best 104 tackles, Joseph was named a freshman allAmerican by both FOX Sports and Phil Steele.

For a struggling WVU defense in 2012, Joseph infused spark with his big-time hits. In 2013, Joseph will have to pay attention to the new targeting rule. Targeting, defined through four separate types of hits, will become the newest way to combat concussions in college football.

The hits that will be enforced throughout all

college football for the new rule are launch, thrust, strike and crown.

A launch is simply when a player leaves his feet in order to hit another. The thrust hit, similar to a launch, is when a player lunges upward without leaving the ground. A strike, what the referees also call an attack, is when a player targets the head or neck area. The crown is any play in which an athlete leads with his helmet.

If a player is called for targeting, he will be disqualified for the game.

“It’s going to make you think about it more.

Football is a very physical game, and you can’t change your game, but the fact that you can get thrown out will make you think about the rule,” Joseph said.

Big 12 a close second to powerhouse SEC The Big 12 Conference has some of the best depth in the country, so there is no surprise that it is one of the best and deepest leagues in college football.

During Big 12 Media Days in Dallas, commissioner Bob Bowlsby told media members the conference is stable with 10 members. For now, he isn’t really worried about conference realignment.

“I think it’s been a very good year for us,” Bowlsby said in his State of the Conference address. “I think it’s a growing measure of trust among all of our member institutions. It really feels like we’re beginning to settle down a bit.”

College football has seen a decline in overall attendance over the past few years, but Bowlsby feels like some additions such as the Big 12 being the first conference to show taped highlights and segments of live games during television timeouts inside the stadiums will draw well.

While the conference is alive and strong, the last seven National Champions have been out of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Big 12 is considered the second or third best conference in terms of quality and competition, but the SEC will be seen as the superior conference if other leagues do not win national championships.

The Big 12 does have quality rivalries, solid television revenue and roundrobin scheduling to its advantage.

The conference will still provide some of the best offenses in the nation, but the real question is if a team will be as consistent as an Alabama out of the SEC? Last year, the team expected to make a run for a national title was Bill Snyder’s Kansas State Wildcats.

Two years ago, Mike Gundy with Oklahoma State looked as if they would

Bowlsby applauds stability of Big 12 Conference

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

DALLAS — Changes in college athletics are a constant.

But during his remarks at the start of Big 12 Media Days earlier this week, conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby praised the stability of his conference while explaining the innovation the Big 12 is moving forward toward instituting in the near future.

TCU and West Virginia are now established as members of the Big 12 Conference, the league stands with 10 strong members. And in 2013, for the first time as commissioner, Bowlsby is excited

that he isn’t worried about realignment.

“I think it’s been a very productive year for us. I think it is a growing measure of trust among all of our member institutions,” Bowlsby said. “It really feels like we’re beginning to settle down a little bit.”

Settling down for Bowlsby also means putting talk of expansion to rest. Bowlsby, a big advocate and believer of the current 10-team Big 12, cited the round-robin football schedule that helps in creating stronger rivalries and larger television revenue per school as to why a Big 12 is at an advantage compared to other leagues that have insisted on con-

tinued expansion in recent years.

After reflecting on the strength, Bowlsby detailed the plans for the Big 12 Conference moving forward. New for the Big 12 is an equal partnership with two bowl games. That is something that hasn’t happened across college football yet, according to Bowlsby.

Additionally, the Big 12 will become the first conference in college football to show taped highlights and pieces of live games during television timeouts inside the stadium on game days throughout the conference’s stadiums.

Bowlsby feels this will lend a hand in helping increase

attendance across the board in college football.

“College football has experienced declines in overall attendance over the last four or five years, and I think bringing highlights in will take into account and help one of the things that really is getting to be a challenge for us,” he said. “We put together all of these multimedia deals, but with that comes the interminable television time out, and during those time outs in Big 12 stadiums this year, we will have highlights from other games.”

As far as on-field play goes, the Big 12 will be the only league experimenting with an eighth official.

The official will stand be-

hind the backfield on the offensive side.

The league will also be putting RF Chips inside player shoulder pads to track velocity of hitting speed in order to improve player safety.

But Bowlsby’s biggest and most notable remarks of the morning came later during his address when talking about college football on the national stage.

While Bowlsby admitted there isn’t an alternative to the NCAA, he wasn’t shy criticizing the federation.

“I think we need to think a little bit about reevaluating our core purpose,” Bowlsby said. “The NCAA has gotten to be an organization that has very broad

ranging responsibilities and oversight.”

A former athletic director at Stanford, Bowlbsy feels the leadership in the NCAA needs to be reconfigured and put in the hands of people who deal with student-athletes on a daily basis.

“I don’t think we can – at this point in time – move forward, and we certainly haven’t been able to configure an agenda that made the changes we need to make,” he said. “I think we need to reengage practitioners, (athletic directors), commissioners, people that work in athletics every day.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Big 12 to add eighth official for football games

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

DALLAS — The Big 12 Conference is adding an eighth on-field official for the 2013 season. As announced by commissioner Bob Bowlsby, the Big 12 is set to add the official on a trial basis. The Big 12 Conference will be the lone league to use an eighth official in 2013.

Big 12 teams were allowed to use an eighth official during their spring sessions to adjust to the addition. On the field, the official will lineup 15 yards behind the line of scrim-

Poll

To no surprise, West Virginia was picked to finish at the end of the conference with the No. 8 spot. Last season, the Mountaineers were picked to finish No. 2 in the conference behind Oklahoma. WVU even received some first place votes in its inaugural season.

“Going into it last year we were picked high, the expectations were high, and it was kind of a setup job based on winning the Orange Bowl the way that we did,” West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said during an interview with a Houston radio station earlier this week.

The expectations are certainly lower this year, but it’s not about where you are projected to finish in July; it’s about where you end up finishing in December.

The Mountaineers have

mage opposite of the head referee.

“This will be the person who places the ball in play,” Bowlsby said. “You (might) recall formerly the umpire was doing that from within the area behind the defensive line. This year that will be undertaken by the eighth official. We’re excited we’ll be the only league experimenting with (this position).”

People involved with the league feel this will speed up the game even more.

For a league that thrives on speed and up-tempo offenses, it is something that could derail defenses that

had surprise seasons in the past, and this year could be no different with the defense having another year of experience and new offensive talent added to the roster.

Last season, Kansas State was projected to finish sixth in the league, but the Wildcats were able to exceed expectations through the leadership of quarterback Collin Klein and head coach Bill Snyder.

Harris dismissed from football team West Virginia dismissed defensive end Korey Harris from the team after an arrest of an armed robbery charge Friday.

WBOY-TV reported that Morgantown police confirmed Harris’ arrest of first-degree robbery following an alleged robbery of a Morgantown home July 12.

He was being held at North Central Regional Jail under a $75,000 bond, according to reports.

finished near the bottom of the league in total and pass defense.

“The toughest thing about playing defense in the Big 12 is tempo,” said Sam Carter, TCU linebacker. “Now the league is adding a referee to make the game faster, and I’m saying ‘no, please slow the game down’.”

While Carter and other defenders are worried about increasing tempo in a league that already can get to a point where only 12 seconds sit between snaps, FOX, NFL and College Football rules analyst Mike Pereira said that adding an

Harris, 20, and two other men broke into the home to steal cash and electronics, while holding two residents at gunpoint, the police confirmed.

Previously held under suspension, Harris has now been removed from the West Virginia roster following the incident.

WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen previously suspended Harris in April but did not give any specifics or reasoning behind it. Last year, as a freshman, Harris had four tackles in 11 games.

A Mountaineer spokesman said the school had no comment on individuals who are no longer on with the program and listed on the roster.

WV Metronews reported that Harris was recognized by one of the victims, because he was wearing his West Virginia sweatpants with his No. 96 jersey on them. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

eighth official to speed up play is a misconception.

“I don’t see how it does anything to speed up the game,” Pereira said. “I don’t think - at least the conversations that I’ve had with the coordinator of officials Walt Anderson - I don’t think that was the intent.”

The additional official will not drastically change the amount of time from when a player is tackled to where and when the ball is spotted. The eighth official brings value with a better vantage point when looking at the line of scrimmage, specifically inside the tackle box.

Joseph is confident that Holgorsen’s plan will work and he’ll be able to adjust to the rules in a smooth transition. Big 12 officials will actually be in Mor-

Both teams ended up falling short.

For the Big 12 to be looked at as the strongest conference in the nation, a team must be able to make the big game after this hiatus. The SEC proves that defense wins championships year in and year out, and the Big 12 does have

The new official will be able to get a better look at offensive linemen to make holding and chop block calls. That will alleviate some of the pressure on the umpire to make the call while watching from the defensive side of the football.

While the addition of the official isn’t to increase calls on the offensive line, as much as to improve the efficiency of calls.

“I think the goal with this isn’t to have more holding calls. The goal is to have more consistent holding calls,” Pereira said. “That look that we’ll get with that

eighth official from that side of the ball versus the look that the umpire will get from his side of the ball is an easier look.”

The eighth official will make a first appearance Aug. 30 when Kansas State hosts North Dakota State. If the new position is successful throughout 2013, other leagues in college football may implement it.

“I think it’s a copycat league, the NCAA is,” Pereira said. “If they think it is functional and it works, then you’ll see it in other areas.”

gantown the first Saturday during training camp to explain the rule.

“I’m sure Coach Holgorsen having Big 12 refs come in and talk to us about the rule will help,” Joseph said.

After forcing six total turnovers in 2012, Joseph wants to continue to lay big hits on opponents and according to the Orlando,

Fla., native, the new rule will not change the way he plays the game.

“Personally, I don’t think any of my hits were above the shoulders, and I don’t think I would ever intentionally target anyone, so I’ll be alright,” Joseph said.

“I’ll keep playing my game.”

question marks on that side of the ball with its members.

The Big 12 has a lot to prove early this year, as well. Two Big 12 teams in TCU and Oklahoma State will match up against two quality opponents out of the SEC when TCU takes on LSU and Oklahoma State takes on Mississippi State.

For the conference, a win here could really prove how the league performs against some of the best and most quality de-

fenses in the nation. The Cowboys were picked to finish first in the conference by Big 12 media representatives so beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs would be a decent victory in terms of bragging rights.

At the end of the day, the Big 12 will be seen as one of the best conferences in the nation, but until more national championships fall into place, the SEC will be the ultimate ruler in college football.

Holgorsen eager to help develop talent in 2013

file photo

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen looks on at a practice this past spring.

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

DALLAS — Last year at Big 12 Media Days, West Virginia was the quintessential darling of the event as conference newcomers.

Picked to finish second in the conference by the media while also bringing the preseason Offensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 with quarterback Geno Smith, West Virginia was the center of attention.

One year later, that same obsession from media is nowhere to be found.

West Virginia is projected to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference, and it doesn’t have a single player on the preseason All-Big 12 team.

“Probably the biggest difference going into this year as opposed to last year is everything that we dealt with last year is pretty much the opposite this year,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Having little experience gives Holgorsen an optimistic view on the 2013 season. The coaches are looking forward to developing a team and placing player personnel in the correct position.

“It gets me excited about being able to get out there and face the challenge of being able to take 10 strong guys and coach them and be able to develop them,” Holgorsen said. “When I got to West Virginia a couple of years ago, there were a couple of guys that hadn’t made a tremendous amount of plays, and we coached them, and we developed them, and we turned (them) into phenomenal football players.”

Holgorsen will try to develop a quarterback when fall camp starts Aug. 5.

Though no timetable has been set as to how long

WVU will keep an open competition, Clint Trickett, Paul Millard and Ford Childress are expected to contend for the job.

“Who our guy is going to be, I don’t know,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve got Clint Trickett coming in, who has probably as much experience in the college game as anybody in the Big 12 just because he’s been a starter in some big games.

“He’s got to come in and beat an experienced Paul Millard out, who has taken more reps than anybody on our campus.”

No matter who the quarterback is, Holgorsen feels that the Big 12 is wide open for West Virginia or really any team to make a conference championship run.

Because everyone in the league is inexperienced at quarterback, it is tough to make assumptions as to which team can win the league.

“Big 12 top to bottom is as good a conference as there is in college football,” Holgorsen said. “It’s as competitive a conference as there is in college football.”

One key to West Virginia’s offensive success in 2013 will be its ability to run the football. Junior running backs Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison and transfer Dreamius Smith are expected to play vital roles, but Houston transfer Charles Sims has been tabbed as the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year.

“I didn’t promise him anything,” Holgorsen said.

“He (Sims) knows what I’m all about. He knows how I coach. He knows what our offense is about.

“So, we need some playmakers on offense, after losing 90 percent of our production last year.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Pirates place closer Grilli on disabled list WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed National League saves leader Jason Grilli on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm.

Grilli, who left Monday night’s game at Washington in the ninth inning with discomfort in his forearm, traveled to Pittsburgh Tuesday and will be examined by team doctors.

“The biggest thing we’ve got to do is get Jason back to Pittsburgh and be seen by our doctors and get a more thorough evaluation,” Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington said. “The initial read was he’s going to be down at least seven to 10 days so the DL becomes a nobrainer at that point, but the rest is speculative and anything else at this point would be purely that.”

Huntington was asked if the initial read on the injury was encouraging or incomplete.

“Both,” he said. “The initial read is encouraging but until we have the actual read it doesn’t make a ton of sense for us to be out in front and speculate on what it is or how long he’s going to be down.”

The All-Star right hander is 0-1 with a 2.34 ERA and

30 saves.

Manager Clint Hurdle said Mark Melancon (21, 0.97, two saves) will assume the closer’s role in Grilli’s absence.

“I think it’s going to be somewhat of a seamless transition. We can’t replace Jason but we are going to move Mark to the closer spot,” Hurdle said.

He said several relievers will work to fill Melancon’s eighth-inning role.

“I do think we’ll go the way the game flow is. We could have a different option every night,” he said.

“I don’t think I’m going to settle into one guy right now.”

The Pirates also plan to recall right hander Vic Black from Triple-A Indianapolis, where he’s 1-2 with 15 saves and a 2.31 ERA. In a separate move Tuesday, Pittsburgh activated second baseman Neil Walker, who had been on the disabled list since July 7 with right side soreness.

Walker is hitting .244 with six homers and 26 RBIs this season.

To make room for Walker, Pittsburgh designated veteran infielder Brandon Inge for assignment. Inge appeared in 50 games, hitting .181 with a homer and seven RBIs.
