Local man kills five, shoots himself by mackenzie mays city editor

Shayne Riggleman, 22, who lived on University Avenue in Morgantown, shot and killed five people before taking his own life Monday evening.

The victims, one of them a 22-year-old woman who was six months pregnant, were shot with a high-powered rifle and found at a house a few miles west of Morgantown – two victims in the kitchen, one in the living room and two in the bathroom.

West Virginia State Police identified the bodies as 49-year-old Charles Richardson III; his wife, 50-year-old

Karen Richardson and her children, 17-year-old Kevin Hudson, 22-year-old Katrina Hudson and 30-year-old Robert Raber.

Authorities said Riggleman was not a student at West Virginia University.

West Virginia State Police Trooper T.W. Morris said while the crime is still under investigation, a motive is hard to fathom.

“When we were on the scene, there were guys who have been in the department for 15 years that said they’ve never dealt with anything like this,” Morris said. “To be honest, we’re all scratching our heads trying to figure out a motive.”

After his spree near Morgantown, Riggleman seriously injured an elderly woman in a car crash in Pennsylvania, then shot and severely wounded a gas station attendant 30 miles from Charleston, W.Va. He then committed suicide following a police chase in Kentucky.

Morris said police have received several calls reporting Riggleman was spotted Monday afternoon in rural Monongalia County near Sugar Grove Road, where the crime occurred.

“We’re chasing down any leads we have and contacting anyone who was with him within the past two months

to see if his demeanor had changed or if this was a sporadic event he all of the sudden decided to do,” Morris said.

As of now, authorities have no reason to believe the murders were predetermined, Morris said.

“At this point, we believe it was a spur of the moment attack,” he said. “The area’s never experienced anything to this degree, and hopefully we don’t have to again.”

Riggleman updated his Facebook status just 30 minutes after authorities predict he shot his five victims.

Morgantown roads flood, University offers emergency housing for students, staff by mackenzie mays city editor

Consistent heavy rainfall leads to roads flooding through the Morgantown area as a flood warning was issued for Monongalia County through 12:45 a.m..

Emergency housing, basic supplies and food services were made available for West Virginia University personnel and students who couldn’t make it home after classes and work Tuesday evening due to the flooding.

“We don’t want people to drive if they don’t have to – the water is always deeper than you think,” said WVU Spokesman John Bolt. “This helps keep students and staff safe and accommodates them so that they don’t get hurt going to and from their responsibilities.”

The Subterranean Bridge in Sabraton was closed Tuesday afternoon, while high water was reported at Valley View Avenue, Route 19, Fairmont Road, Dent’s Run Boulevard, Point Marion Road and several streets downtown.

At 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, about two inches of rainfall was observed in the area with additional rain in the weekly forecast, Natalie Cline/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

SGA farmers’ market provides healthy options

by Charles young Associate City Editor

For the second year in a row, West Virginia University’s Student Government Association has partnered with WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health and local vendors to provide students and residents of Morgantown with a healthy option when shopping for produce.

The Farmers’ Market, located in front of the Mountainlair on

MORE INFORMATION: WHEN: Wednesday’s from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until produce runs out WHERE: Outside the Mountainlair Wednesday’s from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offers a variety of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables as well as handmade jew-

elry and other artisan crafted products.

Gov. Nicole Crane, whose platform deals with issues of health and wellness, said the continuation of the Farmers’ Market reflected SGA’s push toward more healthy options for students.

“It’s very difficult to stay healthy when you have such a crazy schedule,” Crane said.

“This way students have an easy, cheap way of staying healthy.”

Crane said the Farmers’ Mar-

ket would incorporate cooking demonstrations to show students how to create well-balanced and affordable meals later in the year.

Jason Bailey, SGA President, said former governors Omar Wazir and Garrett Robinson started the program last year due to the lack of shopping options downtown.

Members of the Morgantown City Council approved a motion to postpone enacting the smoking ordinance until January 1, 2012, during their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.

The Morgantown Clean Indoor Air Ordinance, approved by the council in June, is pending an approval from the Monongalia County Board of Health. The smoking ban prevents smoking in restaurants, bars, places of employment and the majority of hotel rooms. The original extension would have enacted the ban Oct. 1.

“I look at this as an opportunity,” said Councilor Jenny Selin, a representative of the fourth ward. “I look at this as an opportunity for some kind of consensus, and broad coverage and fairness across businesses. I think to make sure we take advantage of this opportunity, we need to extend the time period.”

Local business owners, as well as members of the Breathe Easy Alliance of Morgantown, a local organization devoted to promoting smokefree buildings and recreation areas in the community, presented their views on the ordinance during the public por-

tion of the meeting.

“The best way to assure a good county regulation is to implement the strong city ordinance that you have already passed,” said Catherine Whitworth, a member of BEAM. “That is the surest way to make it happen, plain and simple.”

After deliberation, members of city council voted 5-2 to extend the passage of the ordinance to Jan. 1.

Terrence Moore, Morgantown City Manager, said his department intends to reach out to local businesses and community members during the intervening months to collect their input on the ban.

“I’m not for endless delays on the subject, and I appreciate the leadership the City Manager is bringing with regards to hurrying the Board of Health along,” said Councilor Wes Nugent, a representative of the third ward.

The council approved an ordinance authorizing the city to execute a coal removal lease agreement with Mepco, LLC, related to the removal of coal reserves in Marion County. The agreement will provide the city with $85,000 a year in revenue for the first five years, in addition to a 2

SALA members discuss accomplishments, goals

by Charles Young Associate city editor

Members of West Virginia University’s Student Government Association subsidiary organization Students Advocates for Legislative Advancement held their first meeting of the year Tuesday night in the Bluestone Room of the Mountainlair to discuss past accomplishments and goals for the upcoming year.

SALA, which was created last year by members of SGA, is an organization that gives students an opportunity to learn about the inner-workings of state and local politics and the most effective ways to lobby elected officials on selected issues.

In February, members of SALA traveled to Charleston, W.Va., to participate during WVU Day at the legislature.

While at the capital, members attended meetings with approximately 40 state legis-

lators to advocate on behalf of two pieces of proposed legislation.

One of the two bills the group supported, the TenantLandlord Bill, was signed into law in June by acting Governor Earl Ray Tomblin. The bill, which guarantees more rights to residents who rent their homes, was the first major accomplishment for the group.

“We, as students, essentially pushed an entire law through the legislature. Only about ten percent of laws introduced eventually pass, so that was huge for us,” said Gov. Ben Seebaugh, member of SGA’s Board of Governors and SALA’s current Democratic chairperson.

Seebaugh also outlined the issues he would like the group tackle this year.

Gunman kills 3 at Nevada IHOP CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A gunman wielding an AK-47 opened fire on a table of uniformed National Guard members at an IHOP restaurant on Tuesday in an outburst of violence that killed four people, wounded eight others and put Nevada’s capital city on high alert as the shooter unloaded his assault rifle in a bustling business district.

The shooter’s motive was unclear, but family members said he had mental issues. He had never been in the military and had no known affiliation with anyone inside the restaurant.

Five Nevada National Guard troops sitting together at the back of the restaurant were shot – two of them fatally. Another woman was also killed, and the gunman, 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion of Carson City, shot himself in the head and died at a hospital.

Witnesses and authorities described a frantic scene, in which the shooter pulled into the large complex of retail stores and shops just before 9 a.m. in a blue minivan with a yellow “Support Our Troops” sticker on the back.

He got out and immediately shot a woman by a motorcycle, a witness said.

Ralph Swagler said he grabbed his own weapon, but said it was too late to stop the shooter, who charged into the IHOP through the front doors.

“I wish I had shot at him when he was going in the IHOP,” said Swagler, who owns Locals BBQ & Grill. “But

The gunman went all the way to the back of the restaurant to the back area and opened fire, Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said.

When he left the restaurant, he stood in the parking lot and shot into the nearby businesses, shattering the windows of a barbecue restaurant and an H&R Block and a casino across the street.

Officers arrived minutes later and found the suspect and the person who was by the motorcycle wounded and

Sencion left two more guns in the van – a rifle and a pistol, authorities said.

As the attack unfolded, Nevada officials worried about the violence being more widespread. They locked down the state Capitol and Supreme Court buildings for about 40 minutes, and put extra security in place at state and military buildings in northern Nevada.

“There were concerns at the onset, so we took certain steps to ensure we had the capability to embrace an even

Reno-based FBI special agent Michael West said there was no indication of any terrorist plot.

As police interviewed dozens of witnesses after the shooting and kept the gathering crowd of media at bay, a body lay on the ground, covered with a white sheet except for the feet, clad in tan boots.

Sencion was born in Mexico and had a valid U.S. passport. In interviews with investigators after the shooting, his family raised concerns about his mental health, Furlong said. Sencion worked at his family’s business in South Lake Tahoe and had no criminal history. The minivan he drove to the shooting was registered to his brother.

The shooting shocked some who knew him, including Joe Laub, his lawyer in a bankruptcy filing in January 2009, who called it an “aberration of his character.”

“He’s a gentle, kind man who was very helpful to friends and family,” Laub told The Associated Press.

“I couldn’t venture to guess what would cause him to do something as horrible as this.”

At a Reno hospital, service members gathered, waiting for word on those killed and hurt.

Taziki’s calls the Mountainlair ‘home’ after first year by christina gutierrez a&e writer

While many restaurants have taken temporary residence in the West Virginia University Mountainlair, Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe has managed to make a home for itself here at the University during this past year.

The authentic Mediterranean cuisine and reasonable prices have gone over well with the students and faculty.

Senior biology major Lindsey Bishop said that Taziki’s is her favorite lunchtime spot.

“It’s so delicious and basically just as cheap as the fast food places,” Bishop said, “Plus, I don’t feel gross after eating it.”

In addition to their fresh chicken, beef and lamb dishes, Taziki’s features homemade sides and salads.

This authentic, Mediterranean restaurant was originally introduced down south.

The chain started in Bir-

mingham, Ala., and has expanded eastward, making the Morgantown location its ninth addition.

Since the WVU location started up a year ago, nine more have been added throughout the nation with plans of adding another 50 locations within the next three years.

In fact, the success of WVU’s Taziki’s location, another one will be opening in the Suncrest Towne Center Nov. 1.

Unlike so many restaurants that have passed through the Mountainlair, Taziki’s seems to have made a lasting impression.

One of the more interesting twists Taziki’s introduced to Morgantown was there technological advances in delivering the food.

After placing an order, the customer can enter their cell number into a machine by the window and they receive a text from an automated system alerting them their food is

ready.

In their first year, Taziki’s has generated equal if not more revenue than its competitors.

This is, however, a friendly competition.

Scott Casper, general manager of the Mountainlair location, explained the importance of the affiliation with the University and its students.

“This year has just been phenomenal,” he said, “The students really are our loyal customers.”

Although Casper showed excitement for the progress Taziki’s has made, he said he was not the one who brought this booming business to Morgantown.

WVU Alumni, Michael Bodnar, was the one who actually introduced the chain to his alma mater.

“About 80 percent of the profits go to the WVU Business School,” Scott said.

John Walsh to bring ‘America’s Most Wanted’ to Lifetime network NEW YORK (AP) — ­ Just weeks after Fox dropped “America’s Most Wanted” after more than two decades, its creator-host, John Walsh, has a new home for the show on the Lifetime network.

The deal, announced jointly on Tuesday by Walsh and Lifetime, will return to the air Walsh’s weekly criminal roundup, which since 1988 has helped bring almost 1,200 fugitives to justice.

The series will return for its

25th season later this year. “`America’s Most Wanted’ is a seminal program that provides a very valuable service to both viewers and law enforcement agencies,” said Lifetime president Nancy Dubuc. “For more than two decades John Walsh has been leading the fight against crime and it’s an honor to partner with him on bringing back this important show.”

“We’ve often been called the court of last resort,” Walsh said.

“Now we are back in the game

and ready to saddle up for another season to get justice for victims and put dangerous criminals behind bars.”

In May, Fox announced it was axing “AMW,” citing high production costs. At the time the network said it would present four quarterly specials in the coming season. The first of those specials will air in October, and Fox will follow it with the remaining three, Walsh said.

But Fox’s final weekly “AMW” was telecast in June.

“We kept the hotline and website up, and we’ve caught four guys,” Walsh said. “The viewers didn’t give up on us.”

Since then, Walsh had been in talks to find a new network.

The deal with Lifetime was completed Tuesday afternoon, he said.

It was in 1981 that Walsh launched his crime-busting crusade in the aftermath of the abduction and murder of his 6-year-old son Adam. He became an outspoken advocate

for tougher laws against sex offenders, more cooperation among law enforcement agencies, and citizen involvement in flushing out fugitives.

He was a former hotel executive with no TV experience, but his TV show premiered in April 1988 on the fledgling Fox network and, little more than a year later, it was the firstever Fox program to rank first in viewership in its time slot. It remained a fixture on the network after that, and during the

2010-11 season, was seen by an audience averaging five million viewers.

In a happy coincidence, on Saturday, Walsh will get a special Emmy Award saluting his show.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will give Walsh its Governors Award at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony in Los Angeles. The honor goes to a person or organization that makes a substantial impact or demonstrates an extraordinary use of television.

Aldean and Shelton receive first Country Music Association Awards NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — After a decade toiling away at the microphone without much recognition, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton are breaking through in a big way.

Two of country’s leading men nabbed their first Country Music Association Awards entertainer of the year nominations Tuesday, upsetting recent trends and leading a popular pack with five nominations apiece. They join previous entertainer winners Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban in the CMA’s most prestigious category. Paisley and Swift also are up for five awards.

“To be honest, I secretly hoped that I’d get this nomination one day, but I never thought I actually would,” Shelton said in a statement.

“After 10 years of watching my friends receive this incredible honor, I got pretty used to being a cheerleader for them, ya know?”

He began receiving more nominations last year, winning two awards at the 2010 CMAs. But his move into television as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry and the success of his single “Honey Bee,” not to mention his marriage to Miranda Lamber, has helped bring him to the forefront of country music.

Like Shelton, Aldean has been slowly gaining awards show attention the last few years after hitting the trifecta of arena tours, platinum albums and radio airplay. But

his previous nominations pale compared to the ones he earned Tuesday morning.

Along with entertainer of the year, he took nominations in three coveted categories - album of the year for “My Kinda Party,” single of the year for “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” featuring Kelly Clarkson, and male vocalist of the year.

“That’s kind of the cool thing about this whole deal for us,” Aldean said in a phone interview. “A lot of this stuff is first-time stuff for us. I think the general consensus whenever we get nominations, especially the big ones, is that’s pretty special. Not only for me but my whole camp, for everyone involved. We’re all kind of experiencing this stuff for the first time, so I think everybody’s genuinely excited and sometimes surprised. It’s a good feeling to know when you’ve been working all this time and people are taking notice.”

The Band Perry and Jake Owen made the initial announcement of five categories Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Jerrod Niemann and two-time nominee Thompson Square announced the remainder of the nominees later at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Zac Brown Band and The Band Perry were next with four nominations apiece.

Kenny Chesney was nominated for three awards, including male vocalist of the year, but country music’s top touring draw was left out of

an entertainer of the year category he has won four times previously.

Swift, who won entertainer of the year in 2009, is also up for female vocalist of the year with Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Sara Evans and Lambert, who won the honor last year on her 27th birthday.

Lambert’s husband, Shelton, will defend his male vocalist of the year award this year against Paisley, Urban, Aldean and Chesney.

The Band Perry will compete with Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Zac Brown Band and Little Big Town in the vocal group category. And the sibling trio is nominated with Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Thompson Square and Chris Young in the new artist of the year category.

Coveted album of the year nominations went to Shelton Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton received their first CMA’s this year. for “All About Tonight,” Aldean for “My Kinda Party,” Swift’s “Speak Now,” Paisley’s “This is Country Music” and “You Get What You Give” by Zac Brown Band.

2129 University Ave. Sunnyside Paisley and Carrie Underwood will host the award show for a fourth time live Nov. 9 from Nashville on ABC. “I definitely think over the last couple of years you’ve seen some artists get in there that aren’t the typical ones you’re used to seeing in there,” Aldean said. “That Follow us on Twitter. kind of tends to happen every @dailyathenaeum few years. It seems like over the last couple of years you’re starting to see some of that.

But it’s still a little surprising.”

Don’t vote blindly, research all candidates Voters will get their chance to see the leading candidates for the gubernatorial election during the first debate tonight in Wheeling, W.Va. The night will serve as the first chance for many to view candidates in action and gain impressions – for good or ill.

Although the event is not being televised, media coverage will be plenty.

Newspapers from around the state will be present, analyzing every movement of the candidates.

Let your voices be heard

during the election, but every voter must do the proper research during the entire election process. Don’t leave your opinion to be made solely from negative campaign advertisements – or critical newspaper editorials.

Negative campaign advertisements usually take the other candidates words out of context and rarely tell the whole side of the story.

Be active.

Search the web for whatever information that can be found about the candidates,

just be sure the information is coming from a reliable source.

Passionate Democratic and Republican voters will most likely not be swayed by negative advertisements and editorials, their minds are usually made up before the election.

Statistically, independent voters are who decide elections.

Voters should think about their political ideologies thoroughly. Consider the information and facts about all candidates. Don’t decide on misrepresented facts or gut

feelings.

Although many politicians don’t follow through with their campaign promises, it is still important to listen to what each candidate has to say. It is the responsibility of all Americans to keep the government in check, and the only way to accomplish that task is to take voting seriously.

Many are not happy with the situation our nation has been in the past few years.

The only way change will come is to elect new and better leaders.

The U.S. has had its economic and political troubles throughout its history and has overcome them in the past.

In order for us to triumph again, it will take sound leadership at all levels of government, not just at the presidential level.

Let your voices be heard and vote on Oct. 4 for who you want to be the next governor of West Virginia.

Do the research, and vote responsibly.

Our nation’s esteem will only improve with compromises doug walp correspondent

Most students despise politics.

And who can blame them?

A majority of students in colleges across America today have experienced nothing but a decade of political impotence in this country since the last surplus under the Clinton administration in 2001.

That’s not to say that Clinton’s two presidential terms were without at least some controversies and collective uncertainty.

But, at least with the economic stability, his administration was able to provide (budget surpluses in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 according to a report published by the White House) the nation faced with far less drastic cuts in social programs and experienced an average growth of 4 percent per year, growing for 116 consecutive months – the most ever for our country in its history.

There were also 22.5 million jobs created under the Clinton administration, again the most under any administration in history.

I want to be clear, I’m not arguing that Bill Clinton was any kind of brilliant economic architect or master of foreign policies, but I strongly believe that his administration excelled at composing compromises between a well-recorded liberal executive office and a Republican-laden Congress during a majority of his terms.

In fact, most of our country’s progress has been made historically because of great compromises between the bipartisan political ideologies.

However, it seems in the past 10 years of the aforementioned political and economic deteriorations, those compromises and sound resolutions have been simply harder to

TALK and politics

The United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. reach between Democrats and Republicans.

This stalwartness is actually an extension of today’s voters’ own stubborn political ideologies, something that needs to change if we ever want to collectively regain economic prosperity as a country again.

Of course there have been several “unavoidable” instances – horrific terrorist attacks, destructive natural disasters and a near-complete collapse of varying private and public sectors that in turn threatened to sink the entire economy.

However, many experts agree that our own domestic and international policies, construed by our elected federal officials or in many instances the lack of new policies due to incongruities between the two parties, have at the very least contributed in some way to the economic downturn of the last 10 years, as well as the United States’ deplorable international relations with many nations and entities in the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia.

The most volatile and potentially disparaging aspect of

the conflicting political ideologies in our nation is that instead of voters and elected officials moving closer collectively in the political spectrum in order to establish effective policies for a rapidly changing future, many participants’ principles and creeds in American politics are becoming more and more polarized.

A prime example of this evolution towards more extremist political ideologies is the emergence of the Tea Party. Although not technically a conservative extrem-

ist group, the Tea Party’s foundational principles seem to offer absolutely no room for compromises with liberals in order to achieve collective progress.

Furthermore, the Tea Party has advocated since its inception that American citizens and policies should adhere strictly to the literal interpretations of the U.S. Constitution, a document drafted over two centuries ago.

And although it is indeed respectable to observe American citizens recognizing the importance of the ground-

work laid by our founding fathers, we must, as a nation, realize that global societies have evolved drastically since the original framework for our government was introduced.

In order to keep up with this rapid social evolution, our government must be able to adapt and agree in order to create policies that are relevant in this ever-changing modern world.

For that to happen, citizens and elected officials alike in our beloved nation are going to have to be willing to find the middle ground.

Waiting to drink alcohol made the experience more memorable sam viggiano columnist

When I confirmed my spot as a Mountaineer during the 2008-2009 school year, many of teachers, friends and family warned me that WVU was party school. Having never consumed alcohol before, the collegiate race I was about to run looked almost impossible.

How does one prepare for a lifestyle change so quickly?

How do you make the decision to disobey the law to have a good time?

Although one might be nervous about the pressures from peers about drinking while at WVU, I have found the race to my first drink at 21 was easy and well worth the run.

When you are young, everything seems like a race to adulthood. Time is marked by

DA

a series of metaphorical monuments we both reflect on and use as guiding points to establish age-appropriate actions on the trail that is life.

The first day of adulthood, for many, will be the first day of college. And, with any college experience, the consumption of alcohol can be the first fallen tree branch on the trail to an education. Yet any runner can learn to jump over or go around the hurdles that slow us down.

On Sunday, I celebrated my 21st birthday at the football home opener, Friends of Coal Bowl, WVU vs. Marshall game.

As if having one of the greatest football rivalries compete on my birthday wasn’t awesome enough, I was turning 21 in Morgantown on Labor Day weekend.

Upon preparing for the race, I knew the rocks and tree branches in the road would be the people asking me if I wanted a drink – and I did.

I didn’t want to be anti-social and lock myself in my dorm room. I wanted to go meet people, make friends and relax. But when offered a drink, I responded with a polite, “No, thank you,” or “I am the DD (designated driver),” and those who offered the drink shrugged their shoulders and moved on.

For those who persisted to give me a drink, I explained that I wasn’t going to drink till I was 21.

Upon hearing that, those who offered me a drink sobered up for a minute to say they respected my actions and wished they too had done so.

Perhaps it was the alcohol talking, but having gone to many a birthdays, end of the year, beginning of the year, passed a tough class and graduation parties, the response was always the same.

Many students drank because it was what other students were doing. It was a means of looking like a serious

runner but never having run the race.

So it seems these supposed twists and turns in the road that should have slowed my pace in fact increased my mileage.

And by waiting for my 21st birthday, I garnered strength in myself.

I didn’t want alcohol to be my weekend “good time.” I didn’t want to depend on it if I had a bad day or week or if got in a fight with a friend or girlfriend.

I wanted to establish good study habits and real relationships with real people. Those who you are friends with when drunk aren’t always your friends in reality.

They might end up being the tree branch you trip over and break your ankle on. Thus, the point of college is not to stop the race but to continue running.

And as for every race, there is a finish line.

After the electrifying game

(no pun intended) and dinner with my family, who bought my first drink, I proceeded to go to the birthday party of every 21 year old’s dream.

What was most exciting about the event was neither legally drinking nor having the party at all – it was that my friends had waited for me to drink with them.

They had gathered together not to witness someone take 21 shots or drink until someone threw up, but they had gathered in honor of someone who would drink when he chose too, with friends, and not hiding or being ashamed of what he had done.

I entered into the adult world with a beer my hand, full of masculine grace.

Therefore, waiting until 21 to drink doesn’t have to be spinster-like. You don’t have to hide in a closet or lock yourself in your dorm room, remaining anti-social because the library closes at 8 p.m., WVU pro-

vides both an excellent feeding ground for those who hunger for knowledge and thirst for beer.

This doesn’t mean, however, everyone must drink and party.

I have yet to find a student disrespectful enough to ignore one’s request to remain sober.

Sobriety isn’t a sin; it is a way of knowing that when you turn 21 your real friends will celebrate not the number, but your moment. It is not always who wins the race, but how you finish it.

Yes, liquid bread is the historical drink that has brought many a man to war and peace – but in college, beer is just what you drink to have a good time.

It is the new race we have been conditioning for since we finished the last few laps of high school.

And, as with any new path, there will be unexpected stones, branches, dips and turns that can make you stumble along the trail.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY Be smart -- avoid arguments, yet clearly own your feelings.

You won’t hold in your emotions and cause yourself secondary issues and at the same time you will keep the air clear.

You often are too concerned about your finances, being such a practical sign. You also can learn to visualize and manifest more often. If you are single, romance won’t elude you, but on the other hand, be discriminating as to who you date and make a commitment to. You might want to play the field. If you are attached, the two of you need to walk away from fights and eye the greater good of the coupling.

A new addition is likely. CAPRICORN encourages you to imagine.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Take the lead, knowing some opportunities only happen once. A partner might not feel like bailing out, but he or she certainly has an issue, which for now is armored. You could be surprised by what goes down. Tonight: Avoid an argument.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. You could be trying to make an impression when you don’t need to. Stop; clear; be yourself. An argument could be inevitable, but don’t hit below the belt. Tonight: Try to understand where someone is coming from.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Investigate new possibilities with the help of a key associate. Together you’ll get past a block you might be experiencing. Be open to different types of self-expres-

sion. Not everyone says things the way you want them to. Tonight: Togetherness works.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You cannot always let others dominate the scene, but right now, you might not have a choice. Slow down and evaluate what would be most effective. Don’t allow insecurity and/or a low level of negativity to dominate. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Stay on top of your work and projects. Try not to cut someone off, and be as brief as you can. You might be best off screening your calls. Surely you feel overwhelmed at the possibility of everything you feel is about to happen. Tonight: Listen carefully.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Allow for greater give-and-take right now.

You might be surprised by what is going on within a friendship, but given your energy and ingenuity, you are right on top of any unexpected developments.

Someone around you could be quite distraught. Tonight: Enjoy every single moment.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You are anchored and centered. You need to understand why you are having such a strong reaction with a key person. Try to demonstrate more warmth. You could feel stressed by your family and career demands. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You read a situation well, but be careful about absorbing another person’s anger. Clear the air. If you are resisting,

look within -- maybe you are more comfortable with the distance. Feel empowered through mastery of your feelings.

Tonight: Hanging out.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You might have difficulty unleashing someone who feels a lot like an albatross.

You might try diplomacy, but arguments could start brewing. Choose your words with care. A friend could be difficult in either case. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Your energy, poise and knowledge could be quite challenging to many. You certainly will see the results of these qualities. You cannot turn a situation around, for now. Let the other person have his or her space. Say little. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Know when to back off. News from another person isn’t forthcoming. You are not getting the full story. Don’t make a judgment just yet; stay open. A pleasant attitude will go far without revealing too much! Tonight: Some personal time.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Don’t hesitate to zero in on a long-term goal. Meetings hold promise. You’ll discover just how much others support you in a venture. Your sensitivity comes out when dealing with a child or loved one.

Your goals might differ from someone else’s. Tonight: Midweek break.

Country singer Vince Gill to perform at CAC by ashley hite

a&e correspondent

West Virginia University’s Arts and Entertainment will host country singer Vince Gill at the Creative Arts Center tonight.

The Arts and Entertainment kicked off last year with the hilarious Monty Python musical, “Spamalot.”

This year, country icon Vince Gill will fill the role to perform in front a full crowd tonight at West Virginia University’s Lyell B Clay Concert Theatre.

Gill, who is from Oklahoma, has been involved in the music industry for more than four decades, beginning his music career as the front man for country band Pure Prairie League.

In 1983, Gill took his talents solo, beginning to record the vocal and guitar parts on his self-composed songs.

Over the years, Gill’s talents have made him one of the most sought-after duet partners and has helped him record over 20 albums.

Gill has also released over 40 singles that ranked in the U.S. Billboard charts. With U.S. Billboard, Gill has also released tracks that have been named “Hot Country Tracks.”

Gill has been awarded for his songwriting, deep country voice and first-rate guitar skills with 20 Grammy awards and 18 Country Music Association awards.

As a member of the famous Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Vince Gill continues to contribute to the country genre.

He is best known for hit songs such as “When I Call Your Name”, “What the Cowgirls Do”, “Liza Jane”, “I Still Believe In You”, “Look at Us” and “Go Rest High on that Mountain.”

“Threaten Me With Heaven”, Gill’s latest single he co-wrote with his wife Amy Grant, was released August 29.

The song depicts a man who has just received news he’s in bad health.

“What’s the worst thing that could happen/ If they say my time is through/ Can they take away the love/ Or the years I’ve shared with you/ What’s the worst thing that could happen/ What’s the worst that they could do/ Threaten me with heaven, it’s all they can do,” he said in the lyrics.

The single is a part of Vince Gill’s album “Guitar Slinger,” set to be released on October 24. The album will be the first Gill has released in over half a decade and is anticipated to be just a successful as his other 35 albums.

MCA Nashville/UM plans to release “Guitar Slinger,” as a follow up to “These Days,” which is a four-CD set composed of over 40 tracks of a wide range of music.

Gill wrote all 43 songs featured on the upcoming release in his home studio.

The Vince Gill concert starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the CAC. Tickets are sold out. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album introduces new guitarist

web

The Red Hot Chili Peppers just released their newest album, ‘I’m With You,’ with their new guitarist, John Klinghoffer.

hunter homistek a&e correspondent

For nearly 30 years, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have graced radio waves, television sets and sold out arenas across the globe with their unique trademark of funk-infused punk rock.

Their 10th studio album,

“I’m With You,” serves as a perfect recap of the band’s storied career, as it uses different elements of their various styles to create a cohesive and entertaining listening experience.

New to this album is guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who replaces virtuoso and longtime RHCP John Frusciante.

Frusciante served as a staple to their sound on five of their most successful stu-

dio releases such as 1989’s “Mother’s Milk” and 1999’s “Californication.”

Vocalist Anthony Kiedis, drummer Chad Smith and bassist Flea remained at their respective positions for this album.

The RHCP also stayed constant with longtime producer Rick Rubin for “I’m With You.” The band requested that Rubin master the album specifically for iTunes custom-

ers, clearly realizing the importance of a strong online marketing strategy in today’s world. This, I think, serves as a testament to their knowledge not just of music, but of the music business as a whole.

“I’m With You” is another strong outing for one of the most famous acts of our generation. Like always with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the sound is largely focused on funky bass lines, unique vocal melodies and chorus hooks for listeners worldwide to sink their teeth into.

I feel, however, that some songs stand out more than others. So, below I have compiled a sampling of those tracks worth checking out.

Track One, “Monarchy of Roses” The opening track to “I’m With You” immediately grabs the listener’s attention with Anthony Kiedis’ trademark vocal style layered with effects as a slow build up to the main riff.

The song is carried home from there with Flea’s bass line driving the rhythm section and Keidis finding a catchy chorus melody worthy of replay.

Overall this track serves as a reminder that, despite a fiveyear hiatus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have not forgotten the sounds that made them a household name in the early

‘90s.

Track Four, “Ethiopia” This song showcases the Chili Peppers’ African influences in full bore.

The song begins with a bass line and drumbeat played in an odd time signature that exhibits their talents as musicians a bit more than previous tracks. The song develops into a traditional Chili Peppers song from here with Kiedis rapping and singing his way through a track that is vintage Chili Peppers funk rock.

I feel this song captures their unique sound better than any other track on the album, and it is definitely a track worth checking out if you are new to the band.

Track Twelve, “Even You, Brutus?”

Track 12 is one of the Chili Peppers’ grooviest tunes to date. Driven by jazz piano courtesy of bassist Flea and rhyme-laden rapping by Kiedis, “Even You, Brutus?” is a track that will make heads across the globe bob in unison.

It also marks the evolution of the band’s members, with Flea stepping off the bass and behind the piano to put on display his well-rounded musical talents.

“I’m With You” is a perfect reminder of why the world fell in love with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and is certainly

“I’m With You”

Red Hot Chili Peppers The RHCP’s newest album incorporates new sounds while still grasping their roots. an album worth checking out if you’re a fan of their previous work.

It seems the new guitarist is a bit lackluster, a void left

by Frusciante when he left the group.

Despite this minor failing, the album is solid and will stand as another shiny feather in the band’s already filled cap.

The new album incorporates some of the softer side of RHCP while keeping a grasp on the catchy tunes that made them who they are today. This album is worth the purchase.

Eddie Murphy has been chosen to host this year’s Oscars.

Eddie Murphy to host Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eddie Murphy is hosting the Oscars.

The actor and comedian will host the 84th annual Academy Awards, producers Brett Ratner and Don Mischer said Tuesday.

Ratner called the 50-yearold entertainer “a comedic genius; one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever.”

“With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances - especially on stage - I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show Don and I want to produce in February,” Ratner said.

Mischer called Murphy “a truly groundbreaking performer” whose “quick wit and charisma will serve him very well as Oscar host.”

This will be Murphy’s

first time hosting the Academy Awards. He said in a statement Tuesday that he is “enormously honored” to join the ranks of past Academy Awards hosts such as Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Billy Crystal, Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg.

Murphy started his career as a standup comic when he was 15 and has gone on to amass dozens of film credits as a writer, actor and producer. He was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in 2006’s “Dreamgirls.”

His stint as Oscar host marks a return to the singlehost format the show has employed most often since the mid-1980s. Pairs of actors hosted the two most recent Oscar shows: Anne Hathaway and James Franco helmed the 2011 telecast, and Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosted last year.

“Dub Housing,” the second LP from Cleveland experimental rockers Pere Ubu, is one of the most underappreciated albums ever released.

When it came out in 1978, no one bought “Dub Housing,” and it’s commercial failure caused the group to loose their record deal.

You’ll often hear this record referred to as “punk” or “new wave,” but these are merely critical attempts to label a band by the work of their contemporaries.

In reality, it’s more accurate to say that Pere Ubu were an indefinable band who changed and grew with each record.

Their music is frantic, mesmerizing and intensely original.

It’s pointless to try and describe or explain how great this record is. Just listen to it. Maybe you’ll get it, maybe you won’t.

After the Sex Pistols broke up and the Clash blew up, England was littered with millions of kids in thousands of bands armed to the teeth with rage attitude and style.

One of the most interesting and intense punk groups to emerge from this chaotic period was Crass, the hard-line anarchists who helped give punk’s first wave a political message.

During their creative peak, Crass cranked out albums at an alarming rate, and their back catalogue can be overwhelming.

“Stations of the Crass,” their second full-length album, encapsulates both their sound and their fury.

This album is a blistering critique of everything from contemporary British culture to the failures of the punk movement itself.

Few bands before or since have done such a masterful job blurring the line between politics as art and art as politics.

“Dopesmoker” is the final album and swan song from sludge metal giants Sleep.

Toward the end of their career, Sleep began toying with the idea of making an album out of a single hour-long song.

With 2003’s “Dopesmoker” they realized that goal.

Consisting solely of the 63-minute long title track, the album tells a confusing, mystical tale which can only be interpreted as a thinly veiled ode to ripping bongs, rolling spliffs and packing bowls.

For the first couple minutes of the track, a slow and mesmerizing pace intrigues the listener, followed by several deep bass grooves and several guitar interludes to keep the listener’s attention.

For a track that lasts over an hour, the musical variations are enough to keep it fresh.

This single track is the ultimate exploration of doom and stoner metal genres.

“Attack Attack!” is the latest in a list of two full length albums and one EP released by this American post-hardcore band.

In album’s past, the band revolved around melodic sections full of more singing than heavy vocals and incorporated several electronic sections.

The new album doesn’t venture far from the beaten path. With plenty of electronic sections to go around and a handful of melodic sections, it doesn’t appear at first that the album is any different from albums done before.

But not to fear.

The band chose in a few select songs to bring things down a bit heavier than they’ve previously done.

With heavier breakdowns, lower octaves and more brutal vocals, the new album is a change of pace for the band while still retaining some of their original style.

SO FAR, SO GOOD

cody schuler sports WRITER

WVU’s running game will get better One of the most intriguing story lines of Sunday’s rain-abbreviated victory over Marshall was the running game.

Maybe this is because, throughout the preseason, I couldn’t get a firm grasp on how often the starting running back would carry the ball. With four viable options in the backfield, I was beginning to think we would see a committee of sorts, with each of the four backs rotating in and out depending on the game situation and who had the “hot hand” at the time.

When true freshman Andrew Buie took to the field as the gameday starter, I wasn’t taken off guard.

Buie had been pegged as the odds-on favorite to start after the first couple weeks of preseason camp. What I did find surprising, however, was the frequency with which Buie carried the ball.

Before he sustained a bruised collarbone in the early part of the third quarter, Buie carried the ball 15 times. Fellow true freshman Vernard Roberts didn’t even see the field in the first half.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen and the offensive staff obviously believe in Buie as an everydown type of back. Granted, sophomore Trey Johnson was held out of the game due to an injury, and true freshman Dustin Garrison racked up a couple of catches out of the backfield. But it was Buie who was trusted time and time again to run the ball against Marshall’s crowded defensive front.

When short-yardage situations arrived, I was curious to see if Holgorsen would stay true to his word that bigger running backs (Clarke, Lindamood) wouldn’t run the ball. Sure enough, on fourth-and-1 from midfield, Roberts rushed for no gain.

West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was able to keep plays alive with his feet during Sunday's win over Marshall. Smith finished with 249 yards and two touchdowns against the Thundering Herd.

Smith has success in first game under new offensive system by nick arthur sports writer

When West Virginia kicker Corey Smith struck the ball off of the tee at 3:37 p.m., no one could have predicted what followed.

Two weather delays, which elapsed more than four hours of time, led West Virginia and Marshall officials to decide the game would be called with 14:36 remaining in the fourth quarter.

“Never have I ever dealt with something like that,” said West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith. “It’s a new experience

for me, but you’ve got to be ready for everything.”

Smith and his teammates were forced to entertain themselves in the locker room for most of Sunday evening.

How did they pass the time?

“Mostly played video games during the off time,” Smith said. “I just hung out with my teammates.

“We already had a solid game plan so we just kicked back and relaxed a little bit.”

As far as the game itself, the junior signal caller had an impressive season-opening performance, completing 26 of 35 passes for 249 yards and two

touchdowns in a little more than three quarters of play.

The game was Smith’s first in head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense.

“I think the system worked pretty good,” Smith said.

“We’re nowhere near where we want to be at this point, but we understand it is all about progression. We have to keep working and try to learn from our mistakes.”

Including the touchdown on special teams by return man Tavon Austin, the offense was able to compile 34 points.

But, Smith always feels there is room for improvement.

“We had some inconsistent moments, but it’s the first game,” Smith said. “We have things to work on and it’s always a plus to learn from your mistakes and get better.”

The passing statistics by Smith didn’t tell the entire story Sunday. The majority of plays made by Smith were done with his feet and not his arm.

On several occasions, he was able to elude defenders and run for a first down – particularly in third down and long situations.

“Whenever you can make a play and get a first down, it is always a plus for the offense,”

Smith said. “I’ve gotten a lot healthier, and I’ve been working on that a lot in the offseason. I think it is going to pay off in the future.”

Immediately after Smith handed the ball to Vernard Roberts to make the score 3413 with 14:36 left in the final quarter, the players returned to their locker rooms for the final time.

It was reported officials from both teams considered all options before finally deciding to call the game.

It was difficult for Marshall

Holgorsen wants to see Mountaineers get swept WVU's blocking improve for three straight in Texas volleyball

by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

by sebouh majarian

No. 19 West Virginia has several things to improve after its first game against Marshall.

At Dana Holgorsen’s weekly press conference Tuesday, run and pass blocking was the most important factor that he said needs to be fixed.

“Some of the running game problems were the running backs not blocking for the other backs,” Holgorsen said. “Some of the running game problems were inside receivers not blocking for running backs. The others’ blocking was just as bad as the offensive line’s blocking.

The name of the game offensively is blocks. We have to do a better job with that.”

Holgorsen said he was not too surprised with the ineffectiveness of the running game because of the lack of blocking.

He knows it’s a work in progress: One which everyone on the team is going to have to work to get better on.

The team has several types of running backs – big and small – but Holgorsen stressed that all of them have to block their man, whether it’s on a run or a pass play.

“When you play that many (running) backs, they’re always going to be in a position where they’ll have to hold their own,” Holgorsen said.

Although junior wide receiver Tavon Austin had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Holgorsen was not satisfied with the way his top receiver performed offensively. The receiver dropped at least two balls thrown to him Sunday.

“If you watch him on three punt returns, he looks like what he should look like all the time,” Holgorsen said. “Then

For West Virginia volleyball head coach Jill Kramer, her return home didn’t go quite as planned.

Kramer and the Mountaineers struggled all weekend, dropping three straight matches to UT-San Antonio, Texas State and Baylor.

The Mountaineers couldn’t get into a rhythm in any of the matches, losing in three sets to all three opponents.

The first game of the trip was Kramer’s hometown of San-Antonio, as the Mountaineers (2-6) were hosted by UT-San Antonio (2-4).

WVU struggled on both sides of the net, losing in straight sets 21-25, 10-25 and 13-25.

West Virginia had issues fitting the ball between the Roadrunner defenders accumulating just a .071 hitting percentage, as UTSA recorded 59 digs.

The Mountaineers had 28 kills in the match, as they received six from Michelle Kopecky, Evyn McCoy and Kylie Armbruster.

WVU and the Roadrunners went back and forth in the first set, exchanging the lead six times before a 3-0 spurt gave UTSA enough breathing room to claim the set.

In the final two sets, the team battled hard but ended up being its own worst enemy, finishing the match with 20 hitting errors to go with three service errors.

Senior setter Kari Post led the team with 20 assists, while fellow California native Serinna Russo finished with 14 digs.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen emphasized the importance of blocking during Tuesday's press conference. you put on 50 snaps of offense, he’s a different guy. He’s disappointed. Look for him to learn this week and get it corrected.”

Holgorsen’s two other speedy receivers, sophomore Ivan McCartney and redshirt sophomore Stedman Bailey, made more significant plays on offense, with each catching touchdown passes from quarterback Geno Smith.

“They both caught balls and made some plays, but that’s half the game,” Holgorsen said. “The other half is playing fast without the ball. I’ve mentioned it 275 times so far – we’ve got to block better.”

Holgorsen noted the experience of his first game at West Virginia was different than what he has witnessed in the past at Oklahoma State and Houston because of the emotional ties between the two schools.

Marshall’s experience and effective schemes gave WVU some trouble because they

had to adjust to their own new system.

“The one thing that kept it going for us was Geno’s experience,” Holgorsen said. “He’s played a lot of football, and he loves to play the game. He got us out of some bad situations.”

The Mountaineers has not started watching film on Norfolk State, their opponent this Saturday, but they have heard that it has a similar defensive scheme to their own. “(Norfolk St.) may come out and do something completely different, which most teams do,” Holgorsen said. “But it shouldn’t be a problem figuring out what they’re going to do based on the familiarity we have with our own defense.

Holgorsen thought highly of the new tradition of the Mountaineer Mantrip that was done before the game and was happy so many fans came out and

Austin earns Big East honor West Virginia junior inside receiver Tavon Austin was named the Big East Conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance against Marshall this weekend.

Offensively, Austin finished with just three catches for 32 yards, but his 100-yard kick return for a touchdown in the third quarter gave the Mountaineers a 27-13 lead.

Junior quarterback Geno Smith was named to the Big East Honor Roll this week.

Smith finished the game with 249 yards and two touchdowns, while completing 26 of 35 passes.

Pittsburgh running back Ray Graham was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Week after running the ball 29 times for 201 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Panthers to a 35-16 win over Buffalo. Defensive Player of the Week honors went to South Florida safety Jerrell Young.

The No. 24 West Virginia cross country team opened the 2011 campaign with a second place showing at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Lid-Lifter Invitational in Princess Anne, Md., Saturday.

West Virginia posted a score of 52 and had three runners finish in the top 10 of the 5K race, which featured more than 100 student-athletes from eight schools.

Redshirt junior Hallie Portner led WVU with a sixth place finish. Portner finished the race in 18:24.

Redshirt sophomore Sarah Martinelli and redshirt junior Aubrey Moskal finished in eighth and ninth place, respectively, and they both finished in under 19 minutes.

Redshirt sophomores Jordan Hamric and Chelsea Jarvis were able to keep all of the Mountaineer’s finishing times under the 20-minute mark, as they took 13th and 26th place, respectively.

Hamric, a Bruceton Mills, W.Va., native, finished the race in 19:03, while Jarvis’ time was 20 minutes.

After the race head coach Sean Cleary said he was pleased to see his team start the season off on a high note.

Navy took first place at the Invitational with a score of 15.

The Midshipman claimed the top five spots in the race with Jess Palacio crossing the finish line in first place overall in a time of 17:41 – just six seconds shy of the course record.

Delaware rounded out the top three with a score of 69.

West Virginia opened the

2009 season at the UMES LidLifter Invitational and also finished second in the meet.

That season ended in a sixth place finish at the NCAA Division I-A championships for the Mountaineers, which is the second highest finish in program history.

This year’s team looks to get back to that form, as it returns four runners from the 2009 NCAA Championship race, as well as two more who ran in last year’s national championships.

The Mountaineers will get their shot to qualify for this year’s Championships in midNovember at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals, which will be held in Princess Anne, Md., on the very same course that the team ran Saturday. ethan.rohrbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

BRUSSELS (AP) — The U.S. national soccer team lost to Belgium 1-0 Tuesday, leaving Jurgen Klinsmann without a win in three games since he was hired as the Americans’ coach.

This was the first road game for the U.S. since Klinsmann came aboard. The Americans earlier tied Mexico and lost to Costa Rica.

Nicolas Lombaerts’ half volley in the 55th minute was the only goal in an exhibition game dominated by the Belgians on the rain-soaked field.

“It was an interesting game for both sides,” Klinsmann said. “For the first 25 minutes the U.S. had a good passing game going, but then the individual Belgian class started to show. The players have learned a lot from the game.”

Klinsmann, a former German star and coach, is looking to assemble the players who will play in the World Cup qualifiers that start next June. He pointed to such promising players as Juan Agudelo, Jose Torres, Brek Shea and Timmy Chandler.

An inexperienced U.S. team rarely threatened, and secondhalf substitutes Agudelo and Kyle Beckerman did little to energize play.

Still, the Americans had their best chance five minutes before the end. A midfield cross found its way to Edu, who headed the ball past Mignolet. But the referee disallowed the goal because Clarence Goodson was ruled to have handled the ball inside the box.

The U.S. played aggressively only in the opening minutes. In the sixth minute, Clint Dempsey’s free kick was fumbled by Belgian goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. Ten minutes later Torres curled a free kick from the right just past the far post.

In the 25th minute, Timmy Simons struck a low ball from the right edge of the area that U.S. goalie Tim Howard deflected.

Seven minutes later, Dries Mertens crossed the ball into the area to an unmarked Marouane Fellaini, whose shot was stopped

by Howard.

Belgium coach Georges Leekens said the U.S. played well for the first 15 minutes.

“Then we got a grip and we really wanted to win at home after the Azarbaijan match,” he said.

Belgium drew against Azerbaijan on Friday, weakening its chances of qualifying for next year’s European Championship.

Next NBA meeting set for today NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players and owners will resume talks today, two people with knowledge of the plans said Tuesday.

This comes a week after the sides vowed to meet more frequently in hopes of reaching a new collective bargaining agreement.

The session will be just the third between top negotiators since the lockout started July 1.

But with the opening of training camps less than a month away, both sides said they recognized the urgency to pick up the pace.

The meeting – expected to be a small group – will be in New York. The site hasn’t been disclosed.

No new proposals were exchanged last week during a meeting that lasted about six hours. Neither side shared many details, saying they preferred to keep the nature of the talks private.

Commissioner David Stern said afterward there was still “clearly enough time” to make a deal that would allow the regular season to open as scheduled on Nov. 1.

However, a gap remains between the financial changes owners are seeking and what players have been willing to accept.

“I could see it going either way,” two-time MVP Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns told The Canadian Press on Tuesday. “It looks like right now we probably won’t start on time.

“Hopefully, as we start to get into the time of year where everyone is missing basketball, we can all start to concede on some points that each other are looking for and find a middle ground.

That would be the best of both worlds.”

Before last week, the only other meeting between top officials was on Aug. 1, after which Stern criticized the players for an unwillingness to compromise.

QB Garrard cut by Jaguars JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — David Garrard lost his starting job the same way he got it: Just days before the season opener and in stunning fashion.

The Jacksonville Jaguars released Garrard on Tuesday, making a “pure football decision” that will save the franchise $9 million in 2011.

Whether it saves coach Jack Del Rio’s job remains to be seen. Team owner Wayne Weaver has said Jacksonville needs to make the playoffs for Del Rio to stick around for a 10th season.

Del Rio made it clear late last season that he had grown tired of Garrard’s inconsistent ways, but the coach remained steadfast through training camp and the preseason that Garrard was his starter. That changed Tuesday, when the Jaguars parted ways with Garrard after nine up-and-down seasons.

“He just couldn’t get it going,” said Del Rio, who added that the team didn’t try to trade Garrard. “I had met with him a couple of weeks ago and brought him in and said, ‘Hey, listen, you’re my guy. I need you to get it going.’ He was given every opportunity. He was somewhat apologetic that he wasn’t able to deliver.”

Del Rio turned the starting job over to Luke McCown, who outplayed Garrard and rookie Blaine Gabbert in the preseason. Playing mostly with and against second- and thirdteamers, McCown completed 12 of 18 passes for 133 yards, with two touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks.

“I was shocked by the decision,” tight end Marcedes Lewis said. “They obviously felt it was time to go in a different direction. Luke had a great camp, everyone knows that, and now he’s the guy. There’s no dropoff. We believe in Luke and we’re going to rally around him.”

Garrard missed the preseason opener because of a sore back, but started the final

three games. He completed 50 percent of his passes for 216 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception. He was sacked three times.

Garrard didn’t return phone or text messages seeking comment, but he thanked fans on his Twitter feed.

“Thank you jaguar fans for an awesome ride! You are the best fans ever,” he wrote. “You’ll always have a special place in my heart and my family’s heart!”

The move was similar to what Del Rio did in 2007, when he released Byron Leftwich in favor of Garrard after the preseason finale. Garrard played well that season, throwing 18 touchdown passes and just three interceptions.

He’s been average since, with 53 TDs and 38 INTs over the last three seasons. He also has been sacked 117 times in that span.

His performance late last season was one of the final straws.

With running back Maurice Jones-Drew sitting out against Washington, the Jaguars put the game on Garrard’s shoulders and he struggled to handle the load. He failed to read Washington’s cloaked defensive schemes and nearly ended the day with five turnovers.

The Jaguars responded by

drafting Gabbert with the 10th pick in April’s draft. Gabbert would have been given a chance to win the starting job in camp, but the NFL lockout denied him a a summer filled with meetings, film work and organized team activities.

Gabbert dropped to third on the depth chart last week. McCown moved up to second, although no one knew he was actually auditioning for the starting job.

“Our starter is our starter until he’s not our starter,” Del Rio said. “That’s the way it works.

To do it any other way creates a circus atmosphere. We have not had that. We’ve had a very purposeful camp, we’ve had a very workmanlike, businesslike training camp. A decision was made in the best interest of the football team, and now we go forward.”

Garrard ends his Jacksonville career with 16,003 yards passing, 89 touchdowns, 54 interceptions and a 39-37 record.

He also ran for 1,746 yards and 17 scores.

Garrard’s final game was one of his worst. He was hit repeatedly in last week’s preseason finale against St. Louis and misfired on four of five passes. He ended the night with an animated exchange with his offensive line on the sideline.

West Virginia.

The Mountaineers didn’t give up, holding an early third set lead before a 9-2 run

by Texas State gave the Bobcats enough of an edge to finish the set and match.

McCoy had eight kills, a team high, while Kopecky trailed her with six kills. Armbruster and Russo led the team defensively as each fin-

schuler

Continued from page 7 Additionally, on West Virginit’s second drive of the game, Buie got the call on three consecutive plays from the Marshall seven-yard line – the end result being a Tyler Bitancurt field goal.

These two instances exemplify the confidence Holgorsen has in his running backs, as

ished with 10 kills.

Kramer and her army headed to Waco, Texas, to play Baylor in the finale of the trip. The Mountaineers wouldn’t find much success there either, losing the sets 14-25, 19-25 and 20-25.

The Bears (5-1) would break a 5-5 first-set tie on a big surge capped off by a kill

by Adri Nora.

West Virginia kept the next two sets close but couldn’t offset the 52 kills and 74 team digs posted by Baylor.

WVU had solid performances from Post, who had 13 assists and four digs, freshman Courtney Robinson’s 12 assists and Russo, who posted a team-high 23 digs.

After two nights of not being able to connect with the hardwood, the Mountaineers compiled a team hitting percentage of .107, which was highlighted by junior Anke de Jong who had a team-high seven kills.

well as his commitment to using his bigger backs in a strictly blocking manner.

This isn’t a bad thing, though.

Both Buie and Roberts are hard-nosed runners. You saw it on Roberts’ two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Just as it appeared he was going to be stuffed for no gain, Roberts pushed through the goal line with a second effort.

Buie, until he got knocked out of the game on a completed screen pass, was running well also.

Forget that this was the first collegiate game either player had played in. Forget both backs have elusive speed and great open-field skills.

Buie and Roberts are true running backs. They run straight ahead, head down, until they are forced to the

ground.

Garrison didn’t get a carry in the season opener, but I do think he will play a pivotal role in the overall scheme of the backfield. Garrison is shifty, and the quick hitches and screen passes Holgorsen’s offense routinely employs are going to lead to some big, breakout plays from him. Regardless of how he does it, Garrison will find the end zone multiple times this season.

It’s hard to say when the West Virginia backfield will find its permanent rhythm. But over the next two games, expect to see a steady dose of trial and error from Holgorsen. One thing is for sure: The West Virginia running game is in good hands and will remain in good hands for many years to come.

“The fan base made that as good as I’ve ever seen from a walk like that,” Holgorsen said. “(The players) got onto the field and got together at midfield.

They were juiced up. We got into the locker room, and they were still juiced up. I told them

it wasn’t the game yet.”

There were no specific injuries released Tuesday, but the staff will meet today to see how the treatment goes with the players. True freshman running back Andrew Buie left the Marshall game with a bruised collarbone but is expected to be fine, according to Holgorsen.

“It’s too early in the week to know,” Holgorsen said. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu
