U of L officials deny game day rumors Cardinal mascot, cheerleaders to attend game by mackenzie mays city editor

Rumors circulated online this week that the University of Louisville refused to bring its cheerleading squad, dance team, mascot and staff to Satur-

day’s football game in Morgantown due to safety concerns.

However, Kenny Klein, senior associate athletic director for media relations and sports information director at Louisville, said all allegations are false.

“Our cheerleaders are attending on Saturday. There was also a report that some of our administrative staff was not attending because of safety concerns – that’s incorrect as well,” Klein said.

Klein denied rumors that

Louisville administration had considered not traveling to the WVU campus because the Big 12 Conference had invited WVU after courting the two universities.

“I honestly have no idea how it all started. There is no need to draw attention to negative things when you’re just going to play a ball game,” Klein said.

The rumors were believed to have originated from a Louisville student’s post on Twitter Tuesday, he said.

“There was one tweet we

were made aware of, and she removed it shortly after she posted it,” Klein said. “Everyone was writing stories based off of one Internet report without asking us questions first, which is unfortunate.”

The tweet was posted by Louisville student Lindsey Sitzlar, who uses the Twitter handle @ Sitzlamos.

The post read: “Cheer and Birds can’t go to #wvu because it’s not a safe enough environment due to fans. West Virginia should be embarrassed.

#cardnation.”

Steve Staffileno, executive director of the Mountaineer Maniacs, said WVU continues to promote positive fan behavior.

“We have some of the most passionate fans in the country, and I think that shows, Staffileno said. “Obviously, there are some problems, and we do what we can to limit that. But, everything that goes on here that get’s talked about occasionally, also happens at every other university in the country.”

This year, student leaders established a T-shirt amnesty program which offers students $20 vouchers in exchange for “West F------ Virginia” shirts, and WVU officials set up a “High Five” program that urges students to stay safe and respectful during sporting events.

Staffileno said during WVU’s game against LSU in September, Mountaineer fans proved themselves.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE GAME

The Center for Black Culture & Research, joined by the West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, hosted a panel discussion on “Race and Sports in America” Thursday night in the Life Sciences Building.

The panel consisted of former WVU linebacker J.T. Thomas, II, Athletic Director Oliver Luck and Senior Editor of ESPN The Magazine Keith Reed.

“We spend so much time building our careers, and you really don’t get the opportunity to sit back and reflect on how much you know or whatever it is that you’ve learned, so being able to bring that to a campus environment is really special,” Reed said. “I really enjoyed this probably more than 90 percent of what I do on a day-to-day basis; this is just a really special opportunity to be able to talk to people like this.”

Discussion topics throughout the lecture included a wide range of topics from the impact of females on sports to the correlation between somebody’s upbringing and what sports they are more inclined to play. But the big issue that

WVU Hospitals to hire undergraduate scribes staff writer

The Department of Emergency Medicine will soon begin hiring undergraduates to work as medical scribes.

The scribes will accompany physicians and nurses into exam rooms in the Emergency Department and type new information into the patient’s electronic medical chart.

“The scribes will document

the things that occur while the physician is seeing the patient,” said Dr. Todd Crocco, chair of the WVU Department of Emergency Medicine. “The scribe will not perform the physical examination, but will record and document what the physicians does and concludes from it.”

WVU is one of many hospitals to hire scribes to record patient information, including medical history, current medications and reason for visiting the ED.

“Before starting this program, we looked at other institutions who have had scribes and saw that they have been very successful,” Crocco said. “Scribes seem to lead to increased patient and employee satisfaction.”

The program will utilize the students in a way that allows the physicians to spend as much time as possible with their patient without worrying about writing the chart.

“We thought about creating a

system where doctors can focus on taking care of the patients,” Crocco said. “We saw that time management was hard for physicians to both see patients and get the charting done.”

By allowing the physician to pay more attention to the patient, WVU hospitals hopes that patient safety and physician efficiency reaches an all- time high, Crocco said.

was talked about came from a piece written by Toure that appeared in ESPN The Magazine entitled, “What if Michael Vick were white?”

The article was a big part of why Reed, who served as one of the editors for the piece, was invited to discuss race with those in attendance.

“You’ve got to do (a story like that). I have heard that, kind of conversation in barbershops every week for the last five years,” Reed said. “It’s there, it’s in the room. We can’t ignore it. We can’t pretend that these conversations don’t exist, because they do.

“So, what I said was, let’s be provocative, let’s put it out there, let’s not be afraid to do it, and I love the way it turned out.”

Toure’s story was part of an entire issue of the magazine that was based around Vick’s comeback following his arrest and incarceration in a federal prison because of his role in a dogfighting ring.

It was the first time the magazine had dedicated an entire issue to just one athlete.

Reed was faced with the question of whether or not he would have done the same type

With Veterans Day around the corner, the West Virginia University Student Government Association is planning to honor military personnel at Saturday’s football game against Louisville.

In cooperation with the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Milan Puskar Stadium and Sodexo Concessions Company, free hotdogs and soft drinks will be provided to anyone with a military ID at the football game.

Veterans can go to any one of three designated driving booths in the stadium and present their ID to receive a coupon redeemable at any Sodexo concession stand in the stadium, said Jason Bailey, SGA president.

“We can’t thank veterans enough. We wanted to think of a way to represent them and show our appreciation,” Bailey said.

Zach Krebs, SGA athletic councilman, presented the idea, and said he hopes the honorary event becomes a

WVU tradition.

“We want to let veterans know this is a building block for continued tradition. We want to get the word out to them,” Krebs said. “It’s a small token, but the important thing is it’s a tradition that continues throughout the year.”

Krebs said SGA has been working on a way to show their respect for veterans through a University event for some time.

“We are very Vet-friendly and it’s important for SGA to be involved. We hadn’t really helped out much in athletics to this point, so we decided this was a small way to show our appreciation,” he said.

Bailey said he hopes WVU students will remember to individually honor veterans this weekend if they get the chance.

“We’re excited to be able to do this. It’s an innovative way to show how Vet-friendly WVU’s campus is,” Bailey said. “If you see a veteran walking around on campus, stop and say thank you. A hotdog and a drink only go so far.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

EPA to probe drilling’s toll on water ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday released the outlines of its long-awaited probe into whether hydraulic fracturing — the unconventional drilling technique that’s led to a boom in domestic natural gas production — is contaminating drinking-water supplies.

Investigators will try to determine the impact of largescale water withdrawals, aboveground spills of drilling fluids, and the fracturing process itself on water quality and

quantity in states where tens of thousands of wells have been drilled in recent years.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves the highpressure injection of millions of gallons of water, along with sand and chemical additives, deep underground to extract natural gas trapped in shale rock.

Energy companies have greatly expanded their use of fracking as they tap previously unreachable shale deposits, including the lucrative Marcellus Shale formation in

Pennsylvania and neighboring states.

The industry has long contended that fracking is safe, but environmentalists and some residents who live near drilling sites say it has poisoned groundwater. The EPA study, mandated by Congress last year, is the agency’s first look at the impact of fracking in shale deposits.

EPA will examine drilling sites in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Louisiana, North Dakota and Texas. The earliest results will be available in 2012.

Continued from page 1 “The scribes will allow the physicians to have more time gathering information and assessing the reason for the patient’s visit,” Crocco said.

Hired scribes will most likely be students interested in a career in health care, including those planning to attend medical, nursing or pharmacy school.

“The scribes could be other people, but experience with the program we are working with, eScribe, has shown great success with undergraduate scribes who want to go into the medical field,” Crocco said.

This experience will give the

“Sometimes we go a little bit too far with the lengths at which we go to draw analogies between two situations that aren’t analogous,” he said. “Race was, at best, contextual with Michael Vick. It played a role at least in how people see him, but I don’t know if he would’ve gone to jail (if he wasn’t black), but he should’ve gone to jail.”

Throughout the discussion Thursday night, one thing was evident: Everyone speaking on the panel thought great strides had been made in eliminating

students exposure to the inner workings of the medical field, Crocco said, as well as invaluable experience with patients and physicians.

Crocco said the scribes will learn a lot while on the job, including medical terminology, which can be a big help in many of their future classes.

“I’ve talked to people in medical school after being a scribe and they say the payoff is profound,” Crocco said. “The scribes get to hear medical terminology first hand so they know what it means and have a deeper understanding of it.”

In other programs, a large majority of scribes continued to medical school and many returned to Emergency Medicine for their residency.

WVU Hospitals is currently in the process of choosing its first group of undergraduate scribes and will be interviewing candidates in the coming months.

To be selected for an interview, a candidate is required to be a pre-medical, nursing, pharmacy or honors student with at least a 3.5 GPA. After qualified scribes are chosen, they will begin an online training program followed by another four to six week training period beginning in early January.

“We’re thrilled that we got quite a large number of applications and quite a bit of interest,” Crocco said. “We’re really excited to see how it goes.”

the racial gap between blacks and whites – especially in sports.

Reed said any difference that does come into play in sports is thanks, in part, to the differences in socioeconomic status that people have.

But while everyone on the panel said progress had been made, they all agreed that there was still work to be done.

“I don’t know that we will ever reach perfect, which is why I think the phrase, ‘a more perfect union’ is used,” Reed said.

“There’s an understanding that this country is evolving constantly – not that we’re ever going to reach a constant where everything is OK racially or economically.

We’re just progressing. There will always be situations that

will arise and there will be a need to look at things through either a racial prism or some other prism, and we will find ourselves in the midst of a conundrum that needs to be addressed and we as a society will see the need to correct it and will do so.”

And Reed offered one last piece of advice for everyone in attendance, regardless of their race.

“You live in your own power when it comes to what kind of life you live for yourself,” he said.

“It’s hurtful that someone could evaluate you on stereotypes, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. You have the choice of who you’re going to be.”

Cain struggles to overcome allegations controversy WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain struggled to overcome the storm of controversy from sexual harassment accusations on Thursday as the threat of a damaging written statement by one of his accusers and shifting explanations by a top aide left his efforts and even his candidacy in doubt.

“This will not deter me” in the race for the White House, Cain declared, repeatedly denying the accusations in interviews on conservative media outlets.

“Did you tell a woman she looked good?” radio host Sean Hannity asked. “That dress looks hot?”

“Nope.”

“Any flirtation that you can think of?”

“Nope,” Cain said firmly.

At the same time, he and aides tried to demonstrate a campaign returning to normalcy or even benefiting from the controversy.

Cain held private meetings in New York during the day, including one on foreign policy with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

And campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon said donors had sent in $1.2 million since news of the allegations first surfaced, far above the customary amount for several days.

Since it was reported late Sunday that at least two

ap

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain speaks at the Congressional Health Caucus Thought Leaders Series, Wednesday, on Capitol Hill in Washington. women had complained about Cain when they worked at the National Restaurant Association – and had received financial settlements – Cain has said consistently he never sexually harassed anyone. But his answers to other pertinent questions have changed. In one instance, he first denied knowing of any settlements with former

employees, then said he recalled one, explaining he had been aware of an “agreement” but not a “settlement.”

On Wednesday, Cain said he believed a political consultant for rival Rick Perry had leaked the information. The consultant, Curt Anderson, denied it.

In a television interview on Thursday with Fox News Chan-

nel, Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff, first stood by the accusation, then reversed course.

“Until we get all the facts, I’m just going to say we accept what Mr. Anderson said.”

It was unclear when all the facts might emerge.

Joel Bennett, an attorney for one of the women alleging sexual harassment, said he was

seeking permission from the National Restaurant Association to release a statement on her behalf. Under an agreement stemming from her accusation in 1999, the woman agreed not to speak publicly about the episode she said occurred when she worked for the trade group and Cain was its president.

Asked whether he would like his former employer to agree to the request, Cain sidestepped.

“That’s totally their decision,” he said on Hannity’s program. “I can’t ask them to do that because that would create a legal liability that I don’t want to be responsible for.”

Sue Hensley, a spokeswoman for the restaurant group, said its lawyers were reviewing the draft statement and would respond on Friday.

Cain specifically denied allegations by a third woman who told The Associated Press this week that she had considered filing a workplace complaint against him alleging aggressive and unwanted behavior, including a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

He also said his wife Gloria was “still 200 percent supportive of me in this whole race, 200 percent supportive of me as her husband, because I haven’t done anything.”

For the most part, Cain’s

presidential rivals steered clear of the controversy, preferring to let it play out.

The furor erupted at a time when Cain had vaulted to the top of public opinion polls as a leading conservative challenger to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination.

In one of his interviews during the day, Cain told the conservative Daily Caller it can be disorienting campaigning in the nation’s capital.

“The way questions are asked, when I’m speaking to a group here in D.C. is coming from a totally different perspective than when I’m being asked questions from the real people. The real people come at it, here’s the problem, what do you think the solution is?

“Inside D.C., inside the bubble as you call it, they’re coming at the perspective of skepticism ... You can’t get it done.

You’re going to get knocked down. And you can just feel it in the way they ask the question and the way they respond.”

Apart from seeking to burnish his credentials as a political outsider, Cain and his allies have also claimed that as a black conservative, he is subject to harshness because of his race. After listening to Hannity play recordings of vociferous critics, Cain said, “I’m a black conservative, and it is causing their heads to explode.”

Occupy protesters disavow Oakland violence In European crisis, Pres. Obama sees risks back home JOAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Occupy Wall Street protesters had just a few hours to celebrate what they saw as their biggest victory so far: the peaceful shutdown of the nation’s fifthbusiest port. Then the rioting began.

A day after some protesters clashed with riot police, set fires and shattered windows in Oakland, Calif., demonstrators across the country condemned the violence and wondered whether it was a turn that would destroy their cause.

“They don’t speak for the majority of people who were here yesterday,” said Hadas Alterman, a college student who was gathering trash at a tent camp near Oakland City Hall. “That was an hour of action, and we were out here for 12 hours and it was peaceful.”

The protest outside the port, which reopened Thursday, represented an escalation in tactics as demonstrators targeted a major symbol of the nation’s commerce with peaceful rallies and sit-ins.

The violence that followed, however, raised questions about whether a movement with no organizational structure and no high-profile leaders can do anything to stop those they called troublemakers.

So far, few cities have reached the level of Oakland, a unique place with a long history of tensions between residents and police.

Bob Norkus at the Occupy Boston camp said the riots didn’t represent the broader movement and likely wouldn’t have a lasting effect on it, either. The movement is still evolving and mistakes are inevitable, he said.

It “has to be nonviolent, or else it will just end. We won’t get the support,” he said. “It doesn’t mean you can’t agitate people. But you can’t also be breaking windows and burning.”

Police in riot gear arrested more than 80 protesters in downtown Oakland, where bands of masked protesters took over a vacant building, erected roadblocks and threw chunks of concrete and firebombs. Five people and several officers were injured.

Chris Hedges, who demonstrating at Goldman Sachs’ headquarters in New York, said the clashes in Oakland are a reminder to protesters that they should only respond peacefully to police actions.

“It’s awful. But police want people to break windows and set cars on fire, because it’s the kind of thing they know how to master – with force,” he said before being led quietly away in handcuffs.

Raymon Curtis, who was protesting in Portland, Ore., said he doesn’t believe the police in his city are seeking violence.

“I looked in their eyes and at first I thought it was a hard look,” Curtis said. “Then, I realized it was the same look I had when I went to prison for the first time. They’re terrified.”

ap

Occupy Oakland protester Mike Clift runs from teargas on Thursday in Oakland, Calif. Following a mainly peaceful day-long protest by thousands of anti-Wall Street demonstrators, several hundred rallied through the night with some painting graffiti, breaking windows and setting fire to garbage cans.

Some protesters said violence can bring attention to the cause.

“This thing has to escalate so people see the violence and who is protecting the interests of the corporations,” said Denver protester Dwayne Hudson, standing next to a grill with logs burning over charcoal to stay warm after a snowstorm.

The far-flung movement challenging the world’s economic systems and distribution of wealth has gained momentum in recent weeks, with Oakland becoming a rallying point after an Iraq War veteran was injured in clashes with police last week.

Organizers called for a general strike on Wednesday, and supporters in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere held smaller-scale demonstrations, some in solidarity with their Oakland counterparts.

Protesters in Oakland and in other cities viewed the day’s events and the port shutdown as a significant victory.

Police, who had little to no presence during the protest during the day, said about 7,000 people participated in largely peaceful demonstrations. There were a few incidents of vandalism at local banks and businesses.

An accounting of the financial toll from the port shutdown was not immediately available.

A protest organizer in Chicago, Joshua Kaunert, said the shutdown was an “amazing” event for the movement, but didn’t want to speculate on what effect the violence would have. He said the lack of a formal leadership structure — and the emphasis on what he called

a “true, direct democracy” – makes it difficult to weed out potential troublemakers.

“As a movement, it is definitely hard to keep that kind of element away, but that’s a double-edged sword,” Kaunert said. “If you want true, direct democracy, you’re going to have issues, regardless.”

The movement’s tent camps in public parks have drawn all types of people, including the homeless, families and anarchists.

At the Oakland encampment, Hale Nicholson, who described himself and others as pacifists, said he participated in Wednesday’s demonstration and march to the port and then went to sleep at the camp around 9:30 p.m. Around 1 a.m., he said, he was awakened by the sound of flashbang grenades.

A group of protesters broke into the former Travelers Aid building in order to, as some shouting protesters put it, “reclaim the building for the

people.” They voiced anger over budget cuts that forced the closure of a homeless aid program.

They blocked off a street with wood, metal Dumpsters and other large trash bins, sparking bonfires that leapt as high as 15 feet in the air. Several businesses were heavily vandalized. Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested.

Police said they used tear gas and beanbags to disperse the crowd.

Brenda Jamison, a mother of four who lives downtown, watched the disturbance from her window, and prayed for it to stop. She said the police acted appropriately when they tried to separate the disruptive protesters causing damage from the peaceful masses.

“I don’t feel like I’m home,” she said. “It’s not an issue of black and white. You just have these people who come out looking for an excuse to tear up everything. It’s not right.”

CANNES, France (AP) — His political fortunes and his nation’s economy at risk, President Barack Obama on Thursday implored European leaders to swiftly work out a eurozone rescue plan, aware of the potential fallout at home if they fail.

Obama, at the French Riviera for a summit of the Group of 20 leading industrialized and developing economies, pledged to be a partner in helping the Europeans cope with the economic emergency. But his aides insisted that Europe’s problem, brought on by the threat of a Greek default, was one it had to fix.

Taking his jobs-first message abroad, Obama said the goal was getting people back to work. “That means,” Obama said, “we’re going to have to resolve the situation here in Europe.”

For Obama, an incumbent seeking a second term in a time of economic peril, the stakes in Europe are immense.

Europe is the largest U.S. trading partner, and its intertwined financial institutions mean that a worsening crisis in Europe inevitably would spread across the Atlantic. The timing could not be worse as the weak U.S. economy is beginning to show

some signs of life even with the unemployment rate stuck at 9.1 percent.

Obama’s economic options and his leverage are limited, and the European debt crisis consumed all attention at the summit meeting.

The Greek government was in danger of collapsing over Prime Minister George Papandreou’s call for a public vote on the rescue deal. The Greek leader later scrapped the referendum but ignored repeated calls to resign, while the eurozone remained in turmoil.

Obama declared his solidarity with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, two architects of the debt bailout plan. Obama said resolving the financial crisis is “the most important aspect of our task over the next two days.”

But with aspects of the rescue undefined, he added: “We’re going to have to flesh out more of the details about how the plan will be fully and decisively implemented.”

The plan would cut by half Greece’s debt and create a $1.4 trillion firewall to protect other vulnerable European economies. It also would impose strict and unpopular austerity measures on Greece.

Show we have an elite athletic program The Daily Athenaeum staff is asking all West Virginia University students and fans to represent the Mountaineer community respectfully.

With all of the turmoil surrounding WVU’s departure from the Big East, it is crucial that fans be on their best behavior.

Saturday’s game may be the last conference game against Louisville and also the Mountaineer’s last chance to show

the Cardinals who’s the better team in the Big East.

Moving on to the Big 12 is a great opportunity for WVU athletics. It will give our team the possible new recruiting regions and to demonstrate to the rest of the country that we can be a top contender.

The last thing we need is to make our school look poorly in the national spotlight – and given the current legal battle with the Big East Conference

and transition to the Big 12, the country is watching.

Supporting your team and being disrespectful to the opposing team are not one in the same.

Students must realize when the negativity from WVU fans reaches the media, it does not help WVU. Passionate fans are always welcome, but passion doesn’t mean shouting obscenities at the opposing side or throwing

objects at the opposing fans (which have occurred multiple times at WVU sporting events).

The Louisville cheerleading squad and mascot will be appearing at Milan Puskar Stadium, even though it was speculated they were not attending for safety reasons.

Fans must show all Louisville fans, cheerleaders and anyone else associated with the utmost respect – think how upset WVU fans would be if our organiza-

tion were to be disrespected.

Moving to the Big 12 will be the start of a new era at WVU. Starting now, we must present a positive atmosphere at all sporting events.

Students and fans must attend games, cheer on the Mountaineers and make WVU alumni proud.

Show the nation we have an elite program by acting like it.

US defense strategy is neither wise nor sustainable

www.teamstersonline.com

Two US military planes patrol the sky.

garrett hunter correspondent

On Oct. 21, President Barack Obama announced to the world that all American troops would be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of 2011. In the president’s words, our brave men and women “will definitely be home for the holidays.”

For a war-weary American public, this is surely welcome news. Since it was launched in March 2003, the war in Iraq has cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $1 trillion, and has cost more than 4,400 U.S. soldiers their lives.

The withdrawal itself is the result of a deadline set by George W. Bush’s administration – a deadline President Obama was unable to extend due to disagreements with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki over the legal status of Ameri-

can forces stationed there.

Despite the president’s reluctance to pull out of Iraq so abruptly, the development offers an excellent opportunity for the American people to step back and take stock of the United States’ role on the international stage.

Let’s start with the numbers: As of June 2011, the United States had more than 396,000 troops stationed in approximately 150 countries around the world.

This includes 111,000 in and around Afghanistan; 49,000 in Iraq; 28,000 in South Korea; 40,000 in Japan, and 81,000 in Europe. Clearly, American military strategy casts a wide net.

Then there’s the defense budget. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, in 2010, the United States spent just more than $687 billion on its military.

To put that number into context, the other 27 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Orga-

nization (NATO) spent approximately $317 billion combined.

China, with the world’s secondlargest national defense budget, spent $114.3 billion.

For those of you keeping score at home, the United States accounts for over 68 percent of NATO members’ defense expenditures, and our defense budget dwarfs China’s by a factor of six.

In fact, in 2009, the United States accounted for 42.8 percent of total defense spending worldwide.

Given these figures, it’s not hard to understand why America is often seen as the world’s policeman. Politicians and military leaders often boast that the U.S. military is the most powerful in the world, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone ready to contradict that claim.

That being said, just how much military spending is enough? Listening to many top defense officials, one gets the impression that you can never

spend too much on defense.

At a recent congressional hearing, representatives from the U.S. Air Force and Navy warned that any spending cuts beyond the $450-$465 billion the Obama administration has pledged to cut over the next decade would “gravely (undermine) our ability to protect the nation,” and would do “irreversible” damage to our armed forces.

Apparently, outspending the world’s second most expensive military by an anemic 500 percent can’t keep us safe.

If that’s the case, why should we feel safe now? If $700 billion keeps us reasonably safe, shouldn’t $800 billion or $1 trillion make us super safe? Not exactly.

Unfortunately for neoconservatives who equate runaway military budgets with increased security, combating international threats involves much more than superior firepower.

The U.S. defense strategy has

moved well beyond the point of counter-productivity.

When a country’s troop deployments bring it to near-empire status, that country quickly becomes a target for the world’s disaffected masses.

This is especially true of the Middle East – a region rife with painful colonial memories of foreign imperial powers. The result is far-reaching international resentment and decreased U.S. security.

Considering its unsustainable expense and the global uneasiness it inspires among both enemies and allies, America’s defense strategy is long overdue for revision.

The draw down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a start, but Washington shouldn’t stop there.

In order to transition the U.S. military from a Cold War-era posture into a leaner, nimbler fighting force fit for the threats of the 21st century, President Obama ought to declare un-

equivocally that the United States is through unilaterally underwriting global security, and call on Europe, Japan, South Korea and others to begin devoting more resources to their own defense.

This is not a call to isolationism. The U.S. should be fully engaged – rhetorically, diplomatically, and if necessary, militarily – in matters that concern our vital interests, and should actively pursue trade agreements and peaceful relations with all countries.

This is a call to end rampant military interventionism – a policy that for at least the last half century has continually wrought unforeseen consequences and increased antiAmerican sentiment around the world, leaving the United States less prosperous and less secure.

When U.S. policy once again puts national defense before foreign excursions that have no bearing on our vital national interests, everyone will benefit.

Chinese students boost American economy, not hurt it jiajun (abe) xu daily nebraskan uwire

News that makes China sound bad is generally popular among American media.

Some of the most popular topics may include “China holds huge amount of American debt,” “Chinese-stolen Americans’ jobs” and “Chinese government manipulates the Chinese currency.”

Media usually tend to describe events in a way that fits their agenda. Some of them just don’t like the fact that China is improving. They see China as a threat, as an enemy. No matter what China does, they would find a way to criticize the country. As a result, the general public tend to believe that China isn’t a good country. They’d have you believe that Chinese people prefer to do business that undermines the American future.

DA

There is nothing wrong with getting information from media, including some biased news sources. However, it’s just not a good idea to trust whatever the media say. You have to think for yourselves.

Recently, an article published in the Wall Street Journal titled as “One Loser in U.S. Presidential Polling: China.”

The article discusses how American political parties believe China is the source of many American problems.

If you haven’t noticed, you can pretty much blame China for everything nowadays. For example, the recent American economic slowdown could also be a fault of China.

Some people would say that because the Chinese government manipulates its currency RMB (Renminbi, the name of Chinese currency), products made in China would be cheaper compared to those made in the U.S. As a result, the U.S. has more imports from China and fewer exports to China.

In other words, the U.S. is losing money in its trade with China. When there is a deficit, the U.S. government has to borrow, which leads to the great U.S. national debt issue. As you may see from the news during the last several months, trade deficit and national debt have been in the headlines. So, the belief some people hold today is if the U.S. could push the Chinese government to increase the value their currency, then all the problems in America will be solved in minutes.

If you are familiar with history, this kind of blame has been around for a while. Between the end of World War II and the collapse of the USSR, the threats were from the Soviet Union.

After the 1990s, the competition comes from Japan. After 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization, China started to become a reason for many problems. It seems like whenever a country becomes prosperous, the media would prefer to see that

place bring threats instead of opportunities. Maybe, it will be better off for both sides if opportunities got highlighted.

If you are familiar with the idea that China has taken Americans’ jobs away, then you should also think about how Chinese students bring jobs to America.

According to The Christian Science Monitor, 130,000 Chinese students were studying in the U.S. in 2009. This means they will generate demands for everything, especially in education industries.

These aren’t exact numbers, but they should be reasonable.

Let’s assume all those Chinese students are living right around the U.S. poverty line. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, that is about $10,830 per person per year. With 130,000 of them, this number will turn into $1,407,900,000 per year. Where do they spend the money?

Not surprisingly, the students will put their money into their education first. That will

increase demand in higher education. This will generate many job opportunities in American higher education institutes. And many of those new jobs are well paid. As a result, we might have enough evidence to say that while lowpayment manufacturing jobs are shipped to China, betterpaid jobs in the university are generated by the increasing number of Chinese students.

At U. Nebraska-Lincoln an international student can expect to pay about $36,464 for a year of schooling, according to UNL’s estimated tuition webpage. That’s just tuition and other school expenses!

If you pay attention, you will find Chinese students in restaurants, bookstores and coffee houses. Those are consumptions “imported” from China, but it eventually generates GDP (Gross Domestic Product) right here in the United States. This is a fact that’s not mentioned by many media outlets.

There are many differences between the U.S. and China.

And definitely, the unbalanced trade generates conflict, but we shouldn’t always focus on these issues. China is the largest foreign holders of treasury securities, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Every Chinese person has a share in the prosperity of the U.S. To some extent, that shows China’s trust in U.S. economy and U.S. government.

A developing China would be beneficial to America as well. Just look at the education sector when there are more Chinese students studying in America: More well-paid jobs in higher education institutes will be generated to replace jobs losses in the manufacture section.

The development of China could be a threat but also could be an opportunity. It might depend on how you look at it. An increasing supply from China might hurt the low payment manufacturing jobs in the U.S., but an increasing demand from a prosperous China could benefit America as well.

Brush up on your diplomatic skills and ability to say “no.” Opportunities come forward. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Though no one enjoys others and people in general more than you, you opt to finish up your work. A changing situation on the home front could evolve into a different situation. One-on-one relating takes you in a new direction. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Your creativity adds lightness to intensity, making it easier for everyone to deal with some very strong feelings. Be careful about what you offer, as you might not

be able to deliver. Opportunities stream your way. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

From the stars: taking fashion cues form celebrity trends

by Christina GuTIERREZ A&E WRITER

While it’s important to form and maintain your own personal style, we must give credit to those style icons that help shape our preferences.

Today, when many people think of fashion icons, their attention quickly turns to out-

rageous stars like Nicki Minaj and Lady GaGa. These icons are perhaps more famous for their style choices than their talents.

It seems, however, the girls of WVU draw their inspirations from more classically adorned personalities like recently famous Pippa Middleton.

Allison Burns, sophomore psychology student, is just one of these style-sophisti-

cated students who appreciates the European style.

“I really love Kate and Pippa Middleton’s style. Their clean lines and bright colors are perfect for any occasion,” she said.

Unlike the Middleton sisters, Burns does not sit atop of a vast fortune. She does, however, manage to find ways around her low budget to maintain a posh look.

“I love sales. TJ Maxx is one of my favorite stores because you can find name brands and great style for a price I can actually afford,” Burns said.

Senior agricultural business and world relations student Jessica Crum is another

student who refuses to let high prices stand in the way of her staying chic.

“I love the way Kourtney Kardashian dresses, and as much as I hope to one day be able to afford my Christian Louboutins, right now I’m OK with searching the Sears websites for the Kardashian’s new line,” Crum said.

Crum and Burns are just two of the highly fashionable students on WVU’s campus who aren’t ashamed to credit some of their favorite stars for their impeccable style senses.

Aileen Smith, sophomore journalism student, likes to pay homage to some of the fashion icons she’s been look-

ing up to since she was young.

“Before I even knew about fashion and brand names, I remember looking forward to the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen line at Walmart,” Smith said.

While Smith has traded in the overalls and sundresses during her childhood, her style has evolved along with the sisters’.

“Ashley Olsen’s ‘indie’ look has always been a good style reference for me. They were doing bohemian before anyone else,” she says.

Melissa Winiecki, senior English student, is also a fan of the bohemian-chic look.

“I really like Kate Moss’

style, and not just because she’s a famous model. She just has a natural, down-toearth look about her. It’s almost hippie-esque,” she said.

While these stars may not be the ones we typically associate with fashion, they have shaped and influenced many of our styles and the styles of our peers.

Anyone can be a style icon: They don’t have to be famous or rich or wear what’s “in.”

Take the inspiration from everyone and everything, and, who knows, the next time we ask girls who they reference for fashion, it could be you! christina.gutierrez@mail.wvu.edu

Craig, Bardem star in new Bond thriller LONDON (AP) — Ah, Mr. Bond, we’ve been waiting for you - and at last 007 is back, several years after his last screen adventure.

Producers announced Thursday that filming has begun on “Skyfall,” the delayed 23rd film in the series and Daniel Craig’s third outing as the suave British superspy.

Craig, who has brought a hard edge to his portrayal, told reporters that the movie, directed by Sam Mendes and shot in London, Scotland, Turkey and China, would be “Bond with a capital B.” Craig said he was “tremendously excited” to be stepping back into the role for the first

time since 2008’s “Quantum of Solace.”

Work on the film was postponed, and Bond’s future looked uncertain, when studio MGM filed for bankruptcy in 2010. But MGM’s new management and EON Productions announced earlier this year that the spy would live to fight another day.

Craig will be joined by Spanish star Javier Bardem as Bond’s nemisis, while British actors Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw will play as-yet-undisclosed roles.

Judi Dench returns as spy chief M and the film introduces two new Bond girls English actress Naomie Harris as a field agent named Eve and French performer Berenice Marlohe as “a glamKratom orous, enigmatic character” named Severine.

Pipes “There’s lots of surprises,” said Mendes, who won an Academy Award for his 1999 film “American Beauty.”

“I think this has all the eleBest Ice ments of a classic Bond movie, 30 Pack $13.29 including - to quell any rumors - a lot of action,” Mendes Keystone Light said.

Some have questioned the 30 Pack $15.69 choice of Mendes, best known for his stage work and emoNatty tionally intense dramas like “Revolutionary Road” and 30-Pack $15.49 “The Road to Perdition.”

But he and the producers Bud & Bud Lightsaid they did not plan to take series in a radically new 18 Pack $13.49 the direction.

The

Den

Producer Michael G. Wilson said the series had “started down a path” with Craig’s first appearance as a gruff, muscular Bond in “Casino Royale” in 2006.

“And we’re sticking to that path,” Wilson said. “An interesting story, well written, with a great cast and plenty of action.”

Mendes said action movies were “a world that’s new to me, and I’ve embraced it.”

“The action needs to coexist with the drama, and that’s the balance we’ve got to strike,” he said.

Filming will take place in London’s government district of Whitehall, at Pinewood Studios outside the British capital and on location in Istanbul, Shanghai and the Scottish wilderness.

Early reports that the film would shoot in India and South Africa have not materialized, but the producers insisted they had not trimmed Bond’s budget since “Quantum of Solace,” which was widely reported to have cost roughly $200 million.

“It is in the same range as the last one,” Wilson said. “We haven’t had to change anything in the script to get what we want.”

Cast members said they had been training hard for their roles - Craig, it seems, by growing the designer stubble he sported at Thursday’s press conference.

Bardem joked that the hardest part for him was “learning the English vowels.” Harris said she had been doing yoga, learning stunt driving and firing machine guns, “which I’ve discovered I have a real taste for.”

Producers Wilson and Barbara Broccoli old hands at building suspense around the movies kept many details under wraps.

Of the plot, they revealed only that “Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her” and MI6 comes under attack.

As for the meaning of the title, Broccoli said it “has some emotional resonance which will be revealed in the film.”

Broccoli said the producers hoped Mendes would sign up for a second film, and “definitely” wanted Craig to return as Bond.

“Skyfall” is due to be released on Oct 26, 2012 in Britain and Nov. 9 in the United States, 50 years since the release of the first 007 film, “Dr. No.” There will be no change to one part of the series’ winning formula - attractive women and hunky men.

Asked whether Craig and Bardem would take their shirts off, Broccoli sought to reassure fans.

“Damn right,” she said.

“If Barbara gets her way,” Wilson added, “it’ll be more than just their shirts.”

Three finalists to perform for Mountaineer Idol title

by Caitlin Graziani a&E Correspondent

Patrick Garcia, Ellis Lambert and Chelsea Malone will compete at Metropolitan Theatre in downtown Morgantown Sunday at 3 p.m. in the finale of West Virginia University’s Mountaineer Idol.

The competition started out with 16 contestants, and over the past few months, the number has been narrowed down to three.

The contestants will each sing three songs. One song will be from a previous round, one of the contestant’s choice and one will be selected by the judges.

Malone said she decided to do Mountaineer Idol because she loves to sing and Mountaineer Idol has given her another opportunity to do so.

“I feel truly blessed to be one of the finalists and very lucky to have such amazing friends and family who’ve supported me along the way,” she said.

“I’m preparing for Sunday’s performance just by practicing as much as I can and trying not to stress myself out too much too far ahead of time.”

Lambert said he was enjoying the attention he received from the contest.

“It feels amazing,” Lambert said. “I’ve been recognized by total strangers, been able to re-live my high school performance days and be able to give it my all every single song.”

Garcia said he was honored just to be a part of the competition.

“It feels amazing to be part of the final three,” he said.

“I couldn’t believe that they called my name in the last round. I am really excited. I have been playing my guitar, practicing in the car and singing in the shower.”

Amanda Hughart, last year’s Mountaineer Idol, will be co-hosting alongside Matt Boczanowski, Student Government Association Gover-

nor and Mountaineer Week co-chairperson.

Guests will not only get a chance to hear some of WVU’s best vocal talent, but they also get a chance to win a brand new iPhone 4.

For a chance to win, guests will have to check into the Metropolitan Theatre on Foursquare and stay for the entire show. A winner will be chosen at random from the list of those “checked in” to the Metropolitan Theater.

The winner of Mountaineer Idol will receive $1,000, the runner-up will receive $750 and the second runner-up will receive $250. The winner will also perform the National Anthem at the WVU men’s basketball game against Akron on Nov. 28.

Mountaineer Idol is sponsored by Coca-Cola and Coni & Franc on High Street.

Azzarello and Risso’s ‘Spaceman #1’ surpasses fan expectations ALec Berry WEB EDITOR

We all know Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso work well together.

Uttering the duo’s name automatically triggers thoughts of quality, and the pair are arguably among top creative teams of the last decade. Sometimes, though, I believe we forget how truly great these guys are together.

We acknowledge their high esteem in the medium, but after a while, we get into the habit of just accepting without truly seeing. We lack the sort of realization you can only experience when you sit down in front of one of their comics – the sensation that as you turn the page, you know you’re reading something special because your mind is being blown.

Azzarello and Risso do comics the way they should be done.

These men, along with colorist Patricia Mulvihill, construct worlds and atmospheres and then tell you all about them in a sophisticated fashion.

The approach is reserved and cool. The necessary hints are subtly placed, and the reader’s own effort tells the tale. Azzarello and Risso books are, simply said, confident, independent and sexy.

“Spaceman #1,” their latest collaborative work, holds the crown as the single best comic book of October. Easily.

With “Spaceman,” we’re told the story of a genetically engineered man whose life-long purpose was to go to

Mars. In reality, his goal was never reached, and when we meet him he’s simply a junkie trapped in a world of decay.

That’s all you really need to know on your way in. The beauty of the comic rests with how well Azzarello and Risso collaborate.

A lot of comics these days seem to be one-sided. Either the writer conducts the train or the artist does. It’s rare when the creative team truly acts as a team. You can see the team play when you read “Spaceman,” though.

Azzarello gives Risso just the right amount of time to convey the narrative through the artwork, and Risso knows when to let Azzarello’s dialogue communicate a piece of information.

Mulvihill, as the colorist, adds her own bit as well, highlighting Risso’s line work with hot sears of emotion or simple grayness and smudge. Her contribution fills out the tone of the work.

The comic book is a group effort, and without all of the creative players, “Spaceman” would not be the same book.

The team meshes so well that none of the elements feel overbearing.

The book feels like a comic book should.

When you consider this team, though, it’s odd to imagine them on a hard science fiction comic like this. Azzarello and Risso are known for the crime genre. Whether you take into account “100 Bullets” or “Batman: Knight of Vengeance,” these guys spell out crime comics. But here they are doing science fiction, and they’re doing it so well.

There’s certainly still a “street” element to the book with the homicide detectives and drug deals, so this could possibly explain the team’s success on a sci-fi book. I’d like to think it’s just simple skill, though.

Risso does a bang-up job depicting a rundown city. The cityscapes are big. The rocks – you can feel them crumbling.

Shadows cast themselves in all sorts of ways, and the water feels like it may wash away everything at any moment.

He does a great job of separating post-apocalyptic from currently apocalyptic. The world hasn’t ended yet, but Risso shows you the moment is on its way.

Azzarello packs the script with numerous cues to build layers into the piece. The script obviously focuses on the main character, but small touches – like the setting, technology and even the dialects in which people speak – suggest the first few hints of the piece’s core theme: lost potential.

Azzarello crafts this script wonderfully and succeeds in the department of setting up this tale, while also snatching the audience’s attention.

Where science fiction is concerned, the best of it always seems to really speak to the condition of our world. Spaceman looks to be nothing different.

Azzarello and Risso have taken us to world where hope seems forgotten and the future we were promised is unlikely.

Look at all of us, we start out hoping to one day be astronauts. Well, in this book, none of us made it. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Spaceman #1,’ the latest collaboration between writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso, surpasses fan expectations.

123 host release party for Phantom Six tonight featuring Demon Beat Hunter Homistek A&E Writer

123 Pleasant Street will host a release party for Morgantown rock band The Phantom Six’s newest CD, “Plastic Rain.”

This show, which begins at 10 p.m., will feature performances by The Phantom Six and The Demon Beat and also provide the public their first chance to hear and purchase The Phantom Six’s newest album.

While The Phantom Six may be a new name on the local music radar, the band, led by singer and guitarist Mark Poole, has a wealth of experience among its members.

Comprised of some members from the popular Morgantown band Moon, Poole, guitarist Billy Sheeder and drummer Clint Sutton of The Phantom Six have been taking over stages in the Morgantown area for the better part of two decades.

“I’ve been playing in bands for 30 years and writing my own music for about 20 now,” Poole said.

Along with this, Poole owns and runs his own studio, Zone 8, where he records and produces his own music.

The group’s newest album, “Plastic Rain,” serves

as a testament to hard work and proficiency in recording.

“I feel like every record we put out has been a little better,” Poole said.

“We’re at the point now where I feel like we know what we’re doing in the studio, which is very important.”

Their sound is one driven by crunchy rock guitars and melodic vocals laden with harmonies and overtones which brings to mind the sounds of rock groups of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

The first song the album, “Corianna,” summarizes this sound well. This track is driven by a powerful rhythm in the verses and leads into a melodic, harmonious chorus sure to get stuck in the listener’s head.

The solo showcases the use of fuzz and octave effects to create a trippy, sonic experience that then leads into harmonized chants of “Ahh,” which close out the track.

This is the epitome of The Phantom Six. They are a professional-sounding group comprised of likeminded musicians who simply know how to write music that is catchy and fun for the listener.

These attributes are found in abundance on “Plastic Rain” making it a CD worthy of the “replay” button.

Opening up for The Phantom Six Saturday night is Shepherdstown garage rock band The Demon Beat.

Led by singer and guitarist Adam Meisterhans, The Demon Beat has graced stages all over West Virginia and is no stranger to the 123 Pleasant Street atmosphere.

“We generally love the 123,” Meisterhans said. “It’s one of the best clubs we’ve gotten to play.”

The Demon Beat, like The Phantom Six, dishes out a brand of hard-hitting rock and punk refined and mastered over the course of their existence as a band.

In many ways, The Phantom Six is an inspiration for the younger members of the Demon Beat with their

professionalism and wellrounded skill sets.

“The Phantom Six are really great,” Meisterhans said.

“It’s always nice to play with bands that have some older guys in them, because they tend to care less about being hip and more about

being a tight band.”

This attitude will be on broad display Saturday night, as two of the tightest and most skilled bands Morgantown has to offer will take the stage to entertain the 123 crowd in what promises to be a release party for

R&B legend Gladys Knight to play CAC

by Rebecca Lebherz a&E Correspondent

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and legendary R&B artist Gladys Knight will perform at West Virginia University Creative Arts Center on Nov. 12.

The show time is set for 7:30 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay Theatre in the CAC. Gladys Knight, known as the “Empress of Soul,” began her career on the Motown Record label in 1966. She recorded popular hits such as “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “If I Were Your Woman” and “Midnight Train to Georgia” as lead singer of R&B group Gladys Knight and The Pips.

Knight has been featured in many TV shows and movies including “30 Rock” and Tyler Perry’s “For the Colored Girls.”

She is best known for the music she recorded with The Pips during the ‘60s and ‘70s.

With an impressive 38 studio albums under her belt, Knight is currently working on a new

record with producer Randy Jackson, with whom she collaborated in the past on her Grammy-winning “At Last.”

After four years performing every night at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel, Knight is on to the next phase of her music career.

Today, she gathers a large audience in the recently named Gladys Knight Theatre at the new Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.

“We’re very excited to have her here, since most of her shows are in Las Vegas now,” said Kristie Gale, marketing and advertising manager for WVU Arts and Entertainment.

Knight is a remarkable seven-time Grammy Award winner, and Gladys Knight and The Pips were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

According to Gale, Knight’s performance is part of the University Art Series. Gale said the series strives to present internationally touring, professional performances here in

Morgantown.

“Gladys Knight’s impressive career makes her a candidate for our series, and she’s been a repeat request among our season subscribers,” Gale said.

Knight has performed alongside such acts as Diana Ross and the Supremes, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Patti Labelle.

Her hits have topped the charts on pop, R&B and adult contemporary stations.

“Her work is legendary, and we expect an incredible night of music,” Gale said.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mountainlair and the CAC box offices, online at ticketmaster.com, and by calling 304-293-SHOW or 800-7453000. Tickets are $27 for WVU students and $47 for the general public.

“Tickets are going quickly, so I recommend getting your tickets sooner, rather than later, if you want to see this show,” Gale said. daa&e&mail.wvu.edu

World-renowned pianist Cave gives recital, master class

by Rebecca Lebherz A&E Correspondent

World-renowned pianist Olivier Cave presented a master class Tuesday afternoon and performed a recital Wednesday night both in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall in the Creative Arts Center at West Virginia University.

The recital was part of Cave’s Eastern U.S. tour featuring Italian keyboard music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

Cave is an accomplished musician who has performed widely throughout Europe.

As a soloist, he has played in the Dusseldorf Symphony, London Soloists Chamber, Galileo Galilei, Zurich Chamber Lausanne Chamber orchestras.

He released his first recording, “Reflections,” in 2004 by Deutsche Grammaphon. His second recording was released on the aeon label in 2010 and received praise, including the highest award from the Japa-

nese magazine Geijutsu.

Tuesday, Cave gave a master class where he met four piano students, listened to their performances and gave feedback and advice.

“Listening to him work with the other performers provided useful information for my own pieces,” said Sheila Barnhart, one of the piano students selected. “Performing for an internationally known pianist is awesome and inspiring, and at the same time, incredibly in-

timidating and nerve-racking.”

The four piano students who had the opportunity to participate in the class Tuesday are Arthur Novaes de Amorim, Zhiwei Zheng, Jennifer Livingston and Barnhart.

They performed Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel, Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin, respectively.

Barnhart said she was chosen to perform for the master class because she has a recital coming up.

She said Cave’s instruction was direct, clear and precise.

Zheng said he thought the class was useful for receiving different suggestions.

“In music area, everyone could have his or her own view on a specific sound color, articulation, pedal and so forth.

There is nothing right or wrong, it only depends on how you understand the music, how you want to express and how you analyze the score,” Zheng said.

“I believe music is our real

language.”

Cave’s visit to WVU was sponsored by the Division of Music and the Italian Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C. “We are always glad to provide opportunities like this for our students, because they can always learn from new approaches and from hearing new repertoire,” said Peter Amstutz, a WVU professor of piano. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

No. 24 West Virginia ready for tough challenge against Louisville by cody schuler sports writer

The matchup during Saturday’s game between West Virginia and Louisville almost reads like a heavyweight title fight.

Louisville, with only one conference loss, is entering the game as the challenger – coming into Saturday with two consecutive conference victories and the No. 1 defense in the Big East.

West Virginia, also with a single conference loss, comes into the game boasting the league’s No. 1 offense and is looking to defeat Louisville for the fifth consecutive time.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen believes the strength behind Louisville’s recent surge comes from the experience and talent of Louisville head coach Charlie Strong.

“It starts with coaching. They’re wellcoached,” he said. “Charlie Strong has been as well respected of a defensive coordinator as there’s been in the profession for the last two decades.

“The guy’s won two national championships and has been a part of some good programs being the defensive coordinator.

That tells you something.”

Louisville’s defense has been among the stingiest in the country, allowing just 295.6 yards and 16.3 points per game.

“The scheme is good, it’s sound; they’re well-coached, and they’ve got good players, so it’s not surprising to see them hold people to what they’ve been holding people to,” Holgorsen said.

While the Cardinals’ defense under Strong has flourished, the offense has yet to find a consistent rhythm.

True freshman quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has thrown for 1029 yards and seven touchdowns – numbers that have been steadily increasing since he secured

the starting job from junior quarterback Will Stein earlier in the season.

His favorite target thus far has been his high school teammate, freshman Michaelee Harris, who has 26 receptions for 356 yards and two touchdowns.

Josh Chichester (21 catches, 282 yards), the 6-foot-8 senior tight end, should create some mismatches with his unique combination of size and speed.

The athletic Bridgewater is a dual-threat quarterback who has garnered the full attention of the Mountaineers as they prepare for Saturday. Defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel had nothing but praise for the young player when describing the types of challenges he creates for opposing defenses.

“Obviously, he’s athletic and throws a nice ball, but he has a great demeanor about him – he doesn’t panic (and) always has his eyes down the field,” he said. “If he wants to run it he can run it, and he’s looking to throw the football when he’s scrambling.”

Senior defensive end Bruce Irvin hopes to get a few hits on Bridgewater early to test his composure as he faces the tough environment inside of Milan Puskar Stadium.

“He’s a freshman, so hopefully he’ll get rattled a couple of times,” he said. “He’s a good athlete; he’s going to be really good in the future. We have to jump on him quick while he’s a freshman and take advantage of that.”

Strong will look for Bridgewater to limit the mistakes of the offense – something he feels will be extremely difficult for his team with the West Virginia crowd in attendance.

“Offensively, we are going to have to be able to control the crowd,” he said. “We cannot have any penalties that are going

New-look WVU opens season with exhibition

brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins and the men’s basketball team faces Northern Kentucky in its only exhibition game Friday night.

By John Terry Managing Editor

West Virginia men’s basketball head coach Bob Huggins doesn’t even know what his starting lineup will be when the Mountaineers take on Northern Kentucky tonight in its only exhibition game.

Seniors Kevin Jones and Truck Bryant will start, and junior Deniz Kilicli will, too. But other than that, Huggins gets to choose between seven newcomers and redshirt freshman Kevin Noreen.

Higgins said the point guard spot will be either Gary Browne or Jabarie Hinds, both freshmen, and a forward spot will go to either Keaton Miles or Tommie McCune, also freshmen.

The fifth spot, however, is still up in the air.

“It depends who plays better (in practice),” Huggins said.

“I don’t have any idea of (what to expect). Offensively, everything starts with your point guard, and we didn’t have Gary or Jabarie in Italy. I have a little bit better feel for the other guys because of the five games

we played in Italy.”

However, Bryant said that of all the freshmen, he has the most confidence in the point guards at this point.

“The point guards have been doing a good job. The wings and the bigs are starting to learn,” he said. “It’s rough when they don’t give 100 percent, but they haven’t been doing that.”

The point guards will need to take care of the ball against Northern Kentucky. The Norse led Marshall 37-27 at halftime during an exhibition game Tuesday, and combined for 12 steals. If it wasn’t for a 25-3 second-half run by the Thundering Herd, Northern Kentucky could very well be coming into Morgantown with a win under its belt.

“I just want to see us go out there and play hard,” Jones said.

“Just running the floor and trying to get that fast-paced offense established at the beginning of the year and not taking this team lightly. That’s how teams get upset, and we definitely don’t want that to happen.”

The Norse were led by seniors Jon Van Hoose and De-

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Andre Nealy against Marshall.

Van Hoose had 17 points, including five three-point shots, while Nealy scored 12 points. As a team, the Norse connected on 10 three-point shots.

Huggins said that while it’s beneficial to play someone else in a game-type environment, it’s what occurs after the game that will be helpful to his young team.

“We really need to get better. What this affords us the luxury of doing is getting to go in the film room (afterward) with them, so they see it,” he said.

Bryant said he thinks the team will run less sets than in years past to capitalize on the young athleticism of this year’s team.

“We’ve been getting after it,” Bryant said. “Coach just wants us to learn, but we’ve just been pushing the ball up and down the court. I’d rather run less plays because we have more freshmen. It’s how I’m used to playing from back in high school.”

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers take on St. John’s at home in Big East quarterfinals by amit batra sports writer

The No. 12 West Virginia men’s soccer team returns to action Sunday after earning a first-round bye in the Big East tournament.

The Mountaineers are on a current two-game wining streak and have won six of their last eight matches. West Virginia finished off its regular season with a 10-6-1 record, going 6-3-0 in Big East play.

WVU, the second seed in the Blue Division, will face St. John’s at 3:30 p.m. at Disk Dlesk Stadium.

St. John’s defeated No. 11 Georgetown, 2-1 in its first round match of the Big East tournament. The Red Storm finished the regular season at 106-2 and 4-5-1 in Big East.

Georgetown came into the first-round match with a regular season mark of 10-4-4, as a sixth-seed in the Big East tournament.

St. John’s leads the all-time series 20-4-3, after the first round win, a series that dates back to 1985. The last time the two teams met in 2009, St. John earned a 2-0 shutout.

The Red Storm outshot the Hoyas 11-10. Freshman defender Tim Parker scored the game-winning goal in the victory, while redshirt sophomore midfielder Jimmy Mulligan led St. John’s with five shots and a goal.

The Big East Tournament features a 12-team field with the No. 1 seeds being Marquette and USF. If the Mountaineers earn the victory against St. John’s, they will travel to Harrison, N.J., for the semifinals at Red Bull Arena in New York City.

West Virginia had success against Georgetown, St. John’s opponent, earlier this season.

On Oct. 8, the Mountaineers shutout the Hoyas 1-0. Midfielder Uwem Etuk scored with nine minutes left in regulation.

The match broke the three-game losing streak the Mountaineers had against Georgetown.

Earlier this week, senior defender Uzi Tayou was named to the www.CollegeSoccer360. com Primetime Performer for his play in the 2-0 team’s shutout win over Notre Dame. He

“We’re not focused on the team we’re playing,” Tayou said.

“We have big goals, big ambitions. That’s what we’re focused on. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing.”

Junior defender Eric Schoenle and goalkeeper Pat Eavenson were also honored. Schoenle was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Week, while Eavenson was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll, after their solid efforts against Seton Hall and Notre Dame.

Eavenson had two shutouts; making five saves against the

Fighting Irish and one against the Pirates.

Even with the shutout win against Georgetown earlier in the year, head coach Marlon LeBlanc feels the Mountaineers do not have an advantage if they do play the Hoyas.

“As much as we’ve seen Georgetown, I don’t know if it’s any better or worse to play them,” LeBlanc said before the two teams played each other.

“They know us a little bit better, and we know them a little bit better.”

WVU plays Georgetown with trip to Big East title game on the line by robert Kreis sports writer

West Virginia will host the semifinal and title games of the 2011 Big East Conference tournament this weekend.

No. 11 West Virginia will take on Georgetown today at 5:30 p.m.

West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown knows the home crowd will provide a daunting atmosphere as the Mountaineers defend their title.

“Our crowd has been fantastic all year round,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think the electricity the crowd can bring will only help motivate the women and make us even better.”

Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium has been a safe haven for the Mountaineers all season. West Virginia is currently riding an eight-home-game winning streak, and has lost only once all year at home. The lone home loss of the season came on Sep. 1 against Ohio State.

No matter where the game is played, West Virginia must hone in on stopping the Hoyas’ potent offensive attack. Red-

shirt senior midfielder Ingrid Wells leads Georgetown with 30 goals and the Big East with 12 assists.

“Everyone has to be aware of where Ingrid (Wells) is and keep an eye on her,” Izzo-Brown said.

“She has caused every team (she played) problems.”

Look for West Virginia’s stingy backline and redshirt freshman goalkeeper, Sara Keane, to attempt to subvert the high-flying Hoyas attack. The defense has posted 10 shutouts this year, while Keane has been phenomenal in goal.

In her first year as a starter, Keane has allowed less than one goal per game (0.95), and Izzo-Brown knows she is a huge factor in the team’s success.

“It is very important that we have consistency in the net,” Izzo-Brown said. “What (Keane) has been able to do has been huge – especially this being her first year.”

On the offensive side of the ball, the Mountaineers turn to senior forward Blake Miller.

The St. Louis, Mo., native leads West Virginia with 23 points and eight goals. Miller

netted a goal in the Mountaineers opening round of the tournament, while also recording two assists in the 5-0 win against Seton Hall.

“Blake is capable of doing anything she wants to do – she is that dynamic of a player,” IzzoBrown said. “I am glad Blake Miller is on my team, and I am excited to watch her play.”

With Miller leading the offensive charge, and Keane continuing her stellar play in goal, the Mountaineers hope to have a repeat of what happened earlier this season.

On Sept. 30, West Virginia traveled to the nation’s capital to beat the Hoyas 3-1. Although the Mountaineers already beat Georgetown once, do not expect it to be a cakewalk the second time. Izzo-Brown acknowledges the hardest thing to do in sports is record two victories against a team in the same season.

“It is not the easiest thing,” she said. “But at the end of the day you have to keep winning soccer games.”

Mountaineers face Connecticut, St. John’s on the road this weekend by sebouh majarian

home wins in the conference.

WVU, on the other hand, is still searching for its first road win after eight games away from Morgantown.

If there were a time to get revenge and ruin Connecticut’s bid to make the tournament, it is this weekend.

Rebecca Murray led Connecticut last year with 23 kills and 12 digs, helping the team take the sets 25-17, 14-25, 25-22, 20-25, 15-12 in Morgantown.

Then-juniors, Michelle Kopecky and Kylie Armbruster did their best not to let the season slip away. Kopecky had a team-high 15 kills, while Armbruster had herself an 11 kill, 14 dig double-double.

In the third week of RPI rankings, the Mountaineers came in the highest of the three teams at 154, while UConn was at 167, and St. John’s came in at 223.

West Virginia’s decision to join the Big 12 will add to the theme of playing opponents for the last time with conference implications. The Mountaineers beat Syracuse and Pittsburgh in what could have been the series finale as the teams joined the ACC. Historically, the Mountaineers haven’t fared well against either team, going 3-15 against the Huskies and 4-12 against St. John’s, losing five of the last six.

The Mountaineers have played exceptional defense all season, coming in No. 47 nationally in digs per set, but the

team’s success has been hindered by an inconsistent – albeit improving – offense.

The team had a hitting percentage of .114 for the season heading into the DePaul match almost a month ago. Since then, the team has raised its average to .121 percent despite playing four of the top five teams in the conference.

“They’re all great teams and like most other teams they’ve continued to get better every match,” Kramer said. “It’s always a dogfight is what I’m figuring out at the end of Big East play, because there’s so many teams in the mix.”

Offensively, the team is led

by Kopecky, as she was two kills shy of her 200th of the year, while Armbruster has 165.

Kramer is trying to keep the girls rested and fresh as they make a final push for the postseason.

“It’s really tough to manage this part of the year,” Kramer said. “You want make sure you’re getting in the work you need to get in, but at the same time you need to be mentally and physically ready to go.”

Kramer and the medical staff continue to list freshmen Halle Kearney as day-to-day with an ankle injury. Kearney was the leading scorer for the Mountaineers at the time of her injury and has now been out almost a month.

“There’s definitely an advantage to it,” said LeBlanc.

“With that said, teams lose that rhythm when you just have to sit and wait.”

The bitter taste of a loss to Connecticut in the season finale a year ago still lingers in the mouth of the West Virginia volleyball team.

The Huskies prevented the Mountaineers from making their first Big East Conference tournament appearance in school history a year ago with a dramatic 3-2 victory.

WVU (6-16, 4-7) will travel to take on the Huskies (13-12, 3-7) and St. John’s (10-17, 1-9) as they, once again, battle for a possible conference tournament berth.

“I expect both (games) to be total dogfights, so it should to be fun,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “If anything, we’re coming out with a vengeance this weekend.”

With South Florida coming to town next weekend to wrap up the regular season, it could be the final road trip of the year.

The only way it won’t be? If the team can move up from No. 11 in the conference and into the top eight, which would qualify them to play at Marquette in the Big East tournament.

Connecticut and St. John’s are looking to leapfrog the Mountaineers in the standings as UConn is No. 12, and the Red Storm is No. 14.

The Huskies are tough at home, posting an 8-3 record this year: the third most

“We just have to be on our game and make sure our players stay focused. It is going to be an atmosphere where (we) are going to have to show some toughness.”

Louisville ranks second-to-

last nationally in penalties committed per game (8.5).

The Louisville rushing attack needs to improve from last year’s contest if the Cardinals wish to come away with a victory.

In last year’s game against West Virginia, then-junior kicker/punter Chris Philpott gained 21 yards on a fake punt to lead a Louisville rushing at-

tack that finished the game with 26 yards on 30 carries.

A pair of sophomores (Jeremy Wright and Dominique Brown) as well as senior Victor Anderson will lead the Louisville ground game. The balanced trio has combined for 183 carries for 867 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

wrestling

WVU targets league title by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

The West Virginia wrestling team begins its pursuit of an Eastern Wrestling League title Sunday, when the Mountaineers travel to College Park, Md., to open their season against John Hopkins and Franklin and Marshall.

WVU returns with three NCAA championship qualifiers from last season, as well as two national tournament participants from two years ago who were forced to sit out last season as medical redshirts.

Perhaps the most important returner is redshirt senior heavyweight Brandon Williamson, who was inactive last year due to a knee injury.

Not having Williamson there last season was the difference in three or four matches, according to head coach Craig Turnbull, who is entering his 34th year at the helm of the program.

Coming off of a full year of “challenging” rehab, Williamson looks great physically, and it would be important to “get him out there and get some wins under his belt and gain some confidence.”

Watching his teammates compete without him last year only made Williamson hungrier.

“I know I’m just as good, if not better than any of the top guys,” Williamson said of his competition. “I’ve just got to prove myself.”

Williamson and Turnbull agree on the goal of capturing a national title, something the Riverside, Conn., native did during his years as a junior college All-American.

“I don’t think most of these guys have the quickness that I do,” Williamson said. “If I wrestle the best I can, I think

it’ll be hard for anyone in the country to stay with me.”

Redshirt junior Colin Johnston also makes his return after sitting out last season due to rehab from shoulder surgery.

After finishing second in the 141 pound weight-class at the EWL championships his freshman year, Johnston dropped weight to compete at 133. As a sophomore, the Pennsylvania native went on to a 21-4 record and spent much of the season ranked in the top 20 of his weight class.

That year away from competition gave Johnston an opportunity to “focus in” on areas he needed to improve.

Redshirt sophomore Nathan Pennesi, filled the vacancy of Johnston last year with one of the best rookie campaigns in program history.

The Latrobe, Pa., native posted a 24-8 record and qualified for the NCAA championships.

Johnston’s return means that Pennesi had to bulk up in order to wrestle in the 141 weight-class this year, a decision made in the spring after the pair “wrestled off.”

Other key returns include junior Shane Young and redshirt senior Matt Ryan.

Both earned trips to the NCAA championships a season ago, and along with Williamson, Johnston and Pennesi, enter this season ranked in the top 25 of their respective weight-classes.

The two-time NCAA tournament qualifier had team-highs with 28 wins and 75 takedowns last year.

Sunday is the first meeting between West Virginia and Johns Hopkins, while the Mountaineers hold a 4-1 series advantage over Franklin and Marshall.
