CPASS inducts four into Hall of Fame by jessica lear staff writer
The West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences will induct four alumni into its Hall of Fame tonight at the Waterfront Hotel. “It’s important to celebrate the College’s alumni, their career growth and contributions to society,” said Kimberly Cameon, coordinator for fundraising and development for CPASS. West Virginia men’s basket-
ball coach Bob Huggins will also be named the 2011 Outstanding Alumnus at the ceremony, which takes place at 7 p.m. Huggins graduated from the WVU College of Physical Activity and Sports Science and received his master’s at WVU in health administration. While at WVU, he played basketball and was named the men’s basketball head coach in 2007. “The College continues to host the Hall of Fame every fall to recognize the extraordinary graduates and their contribu-
tions to the University, the College, their profession and the community,” Cameon said. The Hall of Fame, now in its 24th year, aims to highlight and award outstanding alumni who have received a degree from the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences or received certification in athletic training at WVU prior to 1997. “Inductees have made significant contributions to the community,” Cameon said. This year’s Hall of Fame inductees will join a list of more
than 100 WVU graduates of the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, which includes Jacquelyn Cuneen, William C. “Wood” McCue, Tim McNeely and Jean Minnick. Cuneen, who received her Ed.D in physical education from the College, is a professor of sport management at Bowling Green University focusing in sport and event promotion and management. McCue received his Brooke Cassidy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM undergraduate degree from Bob Huggins makes an appearance on the set of ESPN’s College GameDay Sept. 24.

A speed dating fundraising was held Thursday night to benefit Samaritan’s Purse by lacey palmer correspondent
Students and residential assistants at West Virginia University came out Thursday night for a speed dating fundraiser in Arnold Hall. Proceeds from the fund-
raiser benefited the Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child – a program that sends shoeboxes full of necessary supplies and toys to students in emerging nations. Arnold Hall residential assistants Chelsea Hodgkins and Bethany Bloise organized
the event as a fun way to inspire students across campus to support a good cause. “I really liked the idea of speed dating as a fundraiser because it’s really unique. I’ve never done or participated in anything like it before,” Hodgkins said. “Operation Christ-
mas Child is something I wanted to do, since I have more ability to do fundraisers as an RA this year. You have many more sources at your fingertips, and it is easier to coordinate events like this.”

Success coaches help students with academic stress by brian aluise correspondent
The West Virginia University Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services is offering Success Coaching to help students excel academically. The program will assist students by providing them with tools to help them focus more in class and study more efficiently, said Regan Bruni, assistant dean of the Office for Student Affairs.
“The ideal student we would like to see is someone who’s going to class, taking notes, but just isn’t getting the outcome they want,” Bruni said. “We’re not masters in chemistry or biology, but we can teach you the study skills that are required to be successful in those classes.” Students will be asked to fill out a study skills inventory during their first appointment, which will allow the success coaches to pinpoint those areas in which students need ex-
tra help. Coaches help students with note taking, reading comprehension, time management and test anxiety, Bruni said. “Once we identify the problem, our coaches can teach you techniques, such as how to properly take multiplechoice tests, and different ways to calm yourself down before a big exam,” she said. The program allows students to meet with their coaches several times a week and correspond via email.
All of the coaches have a background in either education or counseling. Success coach Courtney Boland said the program is personalized to benefit each student individually. “We have a lot of coaches, and we each have our own area of expertise,” Boland said. “When we get a student, we can figure out what they need, then we can pair them up with

4-H Week promotes ‘Revolution of Responsibility’ by lydia nuzum
associate city editor
4-H’ers across the state are promoting National 4-H Week by participating in a “Revolution of Responsibility” campaign to encourage students and community members to engage in volunteer outreach and involvement. “4-H members are going out and performing service this week. They’re set up to do various service projects and to get people to participate in service projects throughout the month,” said Debbie McDonald, director of West Virginia 4-H Youth Development programs. 4-H is a free youth-development program geared toward nurturing leadership skills and promoting positive life choices and is free to individuals between the ages of nine and 21. The program focuses on
four main areas – head, heart, hands and health – all of which promote self-improvement. “National 4-H Week is a great opportunity for us to showcase our organization and the achievements of our members and the many different programs we offer,” McDonald said. On Wednesday, 4-H’ers across the country began a National 4-H science experiment, with more than one million 4-H’ers participating in the experiment, McDonald said. This year’s experiment focuses on wind energy, and contributors to the project experiment with wind turbines and study the sustainability of wind energy. “It’s a big project in West Virginia.

Obama to GOP: Act on jobs or get run out of town WASHINGTON (AP) — A combative President Barack Obama challenged a divided Congress on Thursday to unite behind his jobs bill or get ready to be run “out of town” by angry voters. Hoping to use public frustration and economic worry as leverage, he called his proposal an insurance plan against a painful return to recession. In a news conference long on restatements of his ideas, Obama laid bare the dynamic that now is Washington: The era of compromise is over. Frustrated over getting nowhere with Republicans, Obama demanded that they explain themselves to the country and promised to keep “hammering way until something gets done.” Despite Obama’s taunts, Republicans showed no signs of switching positions. Instead, they pressed unsuccessfully for a symbolic vote later in the day so they could demonstrate their opposition to the bill the president submitted three weeks ago. They also predicted they would prevail next week when Democrats try to advance a reworked version, which Obama supports, with

manship, Obama defended his own tactic of campaigning for a jobs bill that appears to have no chance of passing as it is. When asked about his willingness to negotiate to help the millions of unemployed, he said he had gone out of his way every time with Republicans, to little avail. “The question, then, is, will Congress do something?” the president said. “If Congress does something, then I can’t run against a do-nothing Congress. If Congress does nothing, then it’s not a matter of me running against them. I think the American people will run them out of town, because they are frustrated.” Obama conceded that voters have grown deeply exasperated and cynical, and he put the responsibility largely on Congress as unresponsive to public opinion. At one point Obama even told his media questioners to accept a “little homework assignment” and “go ask Republicans what their jobs plan is.” The political positioning came with the American economy weakening and at a risk of sinking as a consequence of Europe’s debt crisis. Nearly
one-third of the unemployed people in the United States – almost 4.5 million people – have been out of work for a year or more. Obama would not say whether he agreed with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s warning this week that the economic recovery “is close to faltering.” The president said the country stands to face deeper problems without action, particularly if a payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits are not extended. He has presented a $447 billion plan to jolt the economy by cutting taxes and increasing spending on schools, roads and other public projects. He has proposed covering the cost of that, and therefore avoiding another pile of public debt, in part by raising taxes on wealthier people and corporations. It is likely Congress will eventually pass Obama’s proposal to extend and expand the Social Security payroll tax cuts that took effect on Jan. 1, the costliest part of the overall jobs plan. Other elements could also clear Congress by the end of the year, including a renewal of unemployment benefits.

Federal govt. targets Calif. pot dispensaries for closure SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have launched a crackdown on pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores that they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges and confiscation of their property even if they are operating legally under the state’s 15-year-old medical marijuana law. In an escalation of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the nation’s burgeoning medical marijuana industry, at least 16 pot shops or their landlords received letters this week stating they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California. The state’s four U.S. attorneys are scheduled to announce a broader coordinated crackdown at a Friday news conference. Their offices refused to confirm the closure orders. The As-
sociated Press obtained copies of the letters that a prosecutor sent to at least 12 San Diego dispensaries. They state that federal law “takes precedence over state law and applies regardless of the particular uses for which a dispensary is selling and distributing marijuana.” “Under United States law, a dispensary’s operations involving sales and distribution of marijuana are illegal and subject to criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions,” letters signed by U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy in San Diego read. “Real and personal property involved in such operations are subject to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States ... regardless of the purported purpose of the dispensary.” The move comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical
marijuana following a two-year period during which federal officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors’ recommendations. The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and moneylaundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries appears to be the most farreaching effort so far to put that guidance into action. “This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The administration is simply making good on multiple threats issued since President Obama took office,” Kevin Sabet, a former ad-
viser to the president’s drug czar who is a fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Substance Abuse Solutions. “The challenge is to balance the scarcity of law enforcement resources and the sanctity of this country’s medication approval process. It seems like the administration is simply making good on multiple statements made previously to appropriately strike that balance.” Greg Anton, a lawyer who represents a Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, said the 14-year-old dispensary’s landlord received an “extremely threatening” letter Wednesday invoking a federal law that imposes additional penalties for selling drugs within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and playgrounds. The landlord was ordered to evict the pot club or risk imprisonment, plus forfeiture of
the property and all the rent he has collected while the dispensary has been in business, Anton said. The Marin Alliance’s founder “has been paying state and federal taxes for 14 years, and they have cashed all the checks,” he said. “All I hear from Obama is whining about his budget, but he has money to do this which will actually reduce revenues.” Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the warnings are part of what appears to be an attempt by the Obama administration to curb medical marijuana on multiple fronts and through multiple agencies. A series of dispensary raids in Montana, for example, involved agents from not only the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, but the Internal Revenue Service and
Environmental Protection Agency. Going after property owners is not a new tactic, though, Hermes said. Five years ago, the Department of Justice under President George Bush made similar threats to about 300 Los Angeles-area landlords who were renting space to medical marijuana outlets, some of whom were eventually evicted or closed their doors voluntarily, he said. “It did have an impact. However, the federal government never acted on its threats, never prosecuted anybody, never even went to court to begin prosecutions,” Hermes said. “By and large they were empty threats, but they relied on them and the cost of postage to shut down as many facilities as they could without having to engage in criminal enforcement activity.”
EPA proposes ease to Stocks rise on help for European banks; Dow up pollution standards HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday proposed easing new pollution restrictions that angered several states and infuriated GOP presidential contender Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The proposed fix to the crossstate pollution rule would allow 10 states, especially Texas, to emit more smog-causing pollution than had initially been permitted. The rule is designed to decrease smokestack emissions, mostly from coal-fired power plants, in 27 states, that contribute to unhealthy air downwind. Texas, faced with a growing population, few new energy sources, hot summers and more coal-fired power plants than any other state, has vocally opposed the rule. Perry has used it as fodder in his long-standing accusation that the EPA under President Barack Obama meddles in state affairs and lays down expensive regulations in tough economic times, forcing companies to cut jobs to offset the costs of compliance. He wrote a letter to Obama last month urging him to delay implementation of the rule after one of the state’s largest energy suppliers, Luminant Generation Co., announced it would have to idle two units and layoff hundreds of workers to comply with the rules by 2012. But EPA regional administrator Al Armendariz said the agency’s decision to ease the standards had to do with new data and was not political. He also noted no changes have been made to the compliance calendar Texas and other states had criticized. The changes will also ease the restrictions for Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin and Arkansas. The rule is meant to help reduce smokestack pollution causing smog and soot in downwind states. For example,
forcing Texas to decrease emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide – smog and acidrain causing pollutants – would help clean the air in Illinois, Michigan and Missouri, while cutting pollution from Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri would help residents in the Lone Star State. Texas has challenged the rule in court, and Attorney General Greg Abbott said the state would continue to pursue its lawsuit. The restrictions “threaten job losses for hard-working Texans, undermine electric reliability for Texas families and violate federal law – and minor technical corrections cannot make these regulations lawful,” Abbott said in a statement. “By making the minor changes ... the Obama administration effectively concedes that its rules were flawed – but inexplicably refuses to resolve the real defects.” The rule gives more leeway to the dirtiest facilities, and the EPA says the data it initially used led it to believe some of Luminant’s “scrubbers” – technology designed to decrease sulfur dioxide emissions – to be 95 percent effective. In recent weeks, in talks with Luminant, it became apparent those scrubbers were only about 70 percent effective. “The technical adjustments that we’re making to the crossstate rule are not the result of political pressures and are not the result of anything other than a better understanding of actual operations of utilities,” Armendariz said. When the EPA initially calculated the decrease for each area, it used information utility companies provide to the Energy Information Administration. The change will allow the 10 states to emit 76,000 tons more pollution – 70,000 tons from Texas. This is about 2 percent of the total pollution the EPA will regulate under the new rule.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 183 points Thursday after the European Central Bank moved to support that region’s lenders and U.S. retailers reported stronger September sales. It was the third straight day of gains. The Dow has soared 434 points since Tuesday. The European Central Bank promised to provide unlimited one-year loans to the region’s lenders through 2013. The goal is to shield banks from poorly functioning short-term credit markets, in which banks are becoming too worried about each other’s financial stability to lend money to one another. Germany’s DAX jumped 3.2 percent, and France’s CAC-40 rose 3.4 percent. The loans are also meant to help protect the banks in the event Greece’s government defaults on its debt. If that happens the value of Greek bonds held by those banks would be likely to drop sharply, weakening the banks’ balance sheets and making it harder for them to lend. Target Corp., Nordstrom Inc., Macy’s Inc. and other U.S. retailers reported sales that beat Wall Street’s expectations. While some of the sales were driven by deep discounts, analysts said the higher sales suggested the U.S. economy was not in another recession. “The market has been pricing in an out-and-out recession, but

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 183.38 points, or 1.7 percent, to 11,123.33. It was the first time the Dow rose by more than 100 points for three straight days since a rally that began Aug. 11 and ended with a 763-point gain. It was the ninth straight day the Dow has swung by more than 100 points, the longest such streak since November 2008, in the middle of the finan-
cial crisis. Markets have been extraordinarily volatile as investors react to the latest headlines out of Europe. The S&P 500 rose 20.94, or 1.8 percent, to 1,164.97. The Nasdaq composite rose 46.31, or 1.9 percent, to 2,506.82. Banks in Europe and the U.S. rallied. U.S. bank stocks rose sharply after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a Congressional panel that U.S. financial firms had a “very modest” exposure to Europe’s debt problems. Bank of America Corp. jumped 8.9 percent to $6.28, the biggest gain among the 30 stocks in the Dow. Morgan Stanley rose 4.8 percent to
$15.18. The European Central Bank disappointed some investors by announcing that it would keep interest rates unchanged. Analysts were hoping the bank would cut rates to encourage lending and give a boost to Europe’s sagging economy. In the U.S., the Labor Department said the number of new applications for unemployment benefits rose slightly last month to 401,000. While that is a signal that the job market continues to be weak, the increase was slightly less than what Wall Street economists had predicted, a signs that layoffs are easing. Unemployment benefits typically need to fall below 375,000 to signal job growth. The hopeful signs on the U.S. economy led investors to pull money out of lower-risk assets. That pushed yields higher on U.S. government debt as investors sold Treasurys. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.99 percent from 1.90 percent late Wednesday. Corning Inc. rose 7.1 percent to $13.50 after it said it would increase its dividend and buy back shares. Apple Inc. lost 0.2 percent to $377.37 in choppy trading after company cofounder and former CEO Steve Jobs died Wednesday. Several analysts and large investors said they believe the company would continue to grow under new CEO Tim Cook.

Beer should be sold at all WVU venues Although the decision to sell alcohol at West Virginia University football games resulted in a revenue boost for the University, officials have announced they do not plan on selling alcohol at any other athletic venues. The University should reconsider its stance. Although the expectations of alcohol sales at football games have not been met, the numbers are still positive. Thus far, WVU has profited
$279,445 at home football games, according to the Associated Press. Binge drinking is not a concern at other WVU sporting venues as it is at football games. There is not an alcohol problem at these games, so there is no reason not to increase revenue even more. Not only will the University make money selling beer, they will also make more money from an increase in ticket
sales. The idea of being able to drink at games will attract more fans. WVU’s concession operator, Sodexo, is licensed to sell beer at the Coliseum, soccer stadium and baseball field, as reported by The Dominion Post. If they already have the permits, why not use them? Fan behavior has not been worse because of alcohol sales at football games – if anything,
it has improved. There are plenty of police officers at basketball games and other events to handle unruly crowds if fans were to get out of hand. Other than football and basketball, there have been low attendances at all other sporting events – selling alcohol could only help, and higher attendance means more money for the University. There is not much stopping the University from sell-
ing alcohol. Currently, the Board of Governors policy allows alcohol sales on properly licensed premises – the only other requirement is the president’s signature. At the very least, the University should give it a try. It has proved successful at football games, and it will most likely have the same success at other sporting events.

We must change our everyday language to stop hate iman hasan correspondent
Since the suicide of homosexual teen Jamey Rodemeyer, parents, educators and others in the national community have been discussing the best ways to end sexual orientation-based bullying once and for all. While it’s a bit unrealistic to expect to find an ultimate solution to homophobia in schools, it’s reasonable enough to try to educate people (not just students) and to make them realize there’s nothing wrong with being gay. A great way to do that is to cut out hateful speech from everyday language. It might not seem like today’s language is very hateful, but as acceptance of homosexuality grows, hate speech too has evolved. By adapting the guise of everyday slang, homophobic speech is casually used by alarming numbers of people – including in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. For example, the phrase “that’s so gay” is commonly used by people to refer to something unpleasant, such as a bad grade or a lost ID. This expression is offensive because it takes the simplest term a homosexual person uses to describe himself/herself and redefines it in a negative way. Another example is the use of the word “faggot,” which originally referred to the firewood used in witch burnings in medieval times. According to the urban legend, homosexuals were also burned, but they were deemed too despicable to be burned at the stake like witches – they were just burned in a pile. It really puts things into perspective when you hear someone being called a “faggot,” for example, wearing a pink shirt. A more recent problem is
ap
Lauren Hendricks, 20, of Tallahassee, Fla., left, and Cameron Tolle, 21, of Cincinnati, Ohio, chant with thousands of gay rights advocates during a march in Washington. the phrase “no homo,” which men tend to use after saying something that “sounds” gay, like “I love you, man” or “Dude, you look pretty good in those pants.” Are men really so afraid of looking effeminate they need to constantly clarify they’re straight? Imagine if every time you told your mother you love her, you added “no incest” afterward. Or if you said you love your dog, but added “no bestial-
ity.” It’s just ridiculous and unnecessary. Many people continue to use this kind of language because they think it’s funny. When people call something gay, they evoke the idea of gay sex or imagery of gay sex acts, which a frightening amount of people still find absurd or repulsive. If you rely on making light of homosexuals for a cheap laugh, your sense of humor is pretty lame.
Other people think it’s acceptable to use hateful speech because they believe gay people don’t find it offensive and words are only hurtful if you give them the power to hurt. Is it really reasonable to say gay people aren’t offended by homophobic slurs? Should Jamey Rodemeyer’s parents have told him to just man up and stop taking people’s insults and threats so seriously? The gay community isn’t
doing themselves any favors by using hate speech, either. Some feel taking offense to hate speech is a sign of weakness and it should not only be accepted but also used in return. This approach does more harm than good because it ignores the damage this speech causes and validates its use, as well. People shouldn’t be afraid of speaking out against hateful speech or calling out peo-
ple who use it. Whether you’re gay, straight, bisexual or any other orientation, it’s your duty as a human being to defend others from this kind of language. If people are called out for casually calling something gay, they’ll stop thinking it’s alright to do so. We all have a responsibility to ourselves and to others to end hate speech now, before we pass it on to the next generation.

Letter to the editor Where has the loyalty gone? “I never even went into the game, I just scanned my ticket and left.” Do you know how many times I heard this statement at work and in school after the football game? One too many. After reading the article about Holgorsen’s anger with the fans, I decided I needed to ex-
DA
press my frustration, as well. I am a senior and have been to every home football game, certain away games and every bowl game. It hurts me when I find out students have the nerve to scan their ticket for loyalty points and then walk away because they either don’t care or are just too intoxicated to make it through the first quarter. The first game against Marshall had an excellent turnout, as one would expect. Af-
daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu ter winning against Maryland and Norfolk, the LSU game become a popular topic among students. With ESPN’s College GameDay on its way, I couldn’t wait to attend one of the biggest games in our school history. Yet, to my disappointment, I didn’t receive a ticket. A senior who was in the band for three years and never missed a game did not receive a ticket! Infuriated, I immediately called the ticket office and complained. They informed
me this game did not use loyalty points and instead used a lottery system. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to have a freshman take my seat in senior spirit. The one game that should have been chosen based on loyalty points was not. In my opinion, if you didn’t attend the Norfolk State game you shouldn’t have been able to attend the LSU game. The kicker of all of this, however, was the turnout against
Bowling Green. Yes, it was rainy and cold, but this is football season. You must embrace the weather – that is part of the fun. Furthermore, this was Homecoming weekend – our Homecoming game. You would think more students would come out to support their team and fellow peers running for Homecoming king and queen. It is truly appalling that student attendance is lacking at football games. West Vir-
ginia University is known for its pride, so students need to wake up and start supporting their team and school. If you don’t want to attend, then don’t reserve a ticket and take someone’s spot – someone who actually wants to go. Step it up students, because the funny part is I am from New Jersey and I show more pride and support for this team than many natives. Holly Hunsburger is a senior chemistry major at WVU

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, open up to new ideas. You have a soft yet witty style that attracts many people. Listen to your instincts, and you’ll often find yourself heading in the right direction. You also get a strong sense of what is going on with work and daily matters. Start testing your abilities by keeping a notebook. If you are single, you easily could be swept off your feet. Still, decide to give it at least a year before making a commitment. If you are attached, a new type of flirtation builds between you. You start acting like newlyweds. PISCES might think they know about finances, but they don’t. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Use the daylight hours to initiate, complete and clean off your desk. You will feel in the pink. Allow yourself to enjoy the moment. The actual experience could be less than the fantasy. Tonight: Where you want to be.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Each person you run into seems to want your entire attention and focus. You might want to give them just that, as you could be courting flak otherwise. Express your caring through understanding and walking in another person’s shoes. Tonight: Follow the music. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Funnel your creativity. Let your word choice demonstrate your imagination. Others appreciate when you flow in this manner. Strive for strong interactions and a better sense of well-being with key figures. Tonight: Single out a special person. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Stay even with the knowledge that this, too, will end. Think “weekend.” Don’t start a way-out diet without checking in with a doctor first. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. Find favorite people.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Assume more responsibility, especially if you want to clear your desk and mind by the end of the day. Schedule a late lunch meeting, and go right into the weekend. Tonight: Where the fun is.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Express your unique opinions. Open and authentic people appreciate this exchange. Use care with someone you put on a pedestal. Should this person fall down, appreciate who put him or her there. You only have yourself to blame. Tonight: Only do what is relaxing.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Examine an idea from different perspectives. You might be surprised by what you see. Reframe a situation several different ways, and your perspective also will change. Tonight: Check in with an older relative.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH If you can take the day off and stay close to home, do. You will be more content. Do know that a family member or roommate might be feeding you a big-fish tale. Maintain a sense of humor, and you will be much happier. Tonight: Let your
hair down. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Try another approach or do something very differently. You laugh, and another person relaxes. Look at the power you have. Keep communication flowing, understanding what will happen in the long run. Tonight: Mosey on home. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Holding yourself back could take more effort than it’s worth. Know when to call a spade a spade. Sometimes letting go is healthy for everyone involved. Your imagination heads in a new direction once you complete a project. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You are a bundle of energy and difficult to stop. You want to complete some matters and toss yourself into the weekend. Your ability to communicate needs to come out. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Keep your dealings low-key and behind the scenes. Not everyone needs to know what you are thinking. If you have a hunch, sometimes it is better to allow a situation to play out. Be more open and forthright. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

Early fall brings plenty of fashion choices Christina GuTIERREZ A&E WRITER
fet
30+ Item Buf
Fall is a glorious time for fashion. From leather boots to pea coats, this cool season is a wonderful time to adorn the hottest, cold-weather-appropriate digs. Or is it? Although gold and blue are always in fashion, the unpredictable weather patterns make for a guessing game of what to wear each morning. Last weekend, residents of Morgantown traded in their air conditioners for heaters and flip-flops for UGG boots, thinking summer was a thing of the past. Throwing everyone in for a loop, once again, this weekend’s weather forecast is pre-
dicted to be warm and sunny. After a few rounds at Saturday’s tailgate, it will certainly be hot enough to sport tanks and shorts for this week’s game. The crazy weather has been known to put a damper on the excitement of picking out the perfect outfit. You can’t wear sandals in the cold or boots in the heat. The way to avoid a fashion/ weather disaster is to keep everything handy until the snow comes. Don’t put that box of summer clothes into storage just yet. We often equate tank tops with summer clothes and sweaters with winter. The key is to pair these pieces together to accommodate any weather. During this time of year, it’s hard to choose what to wear
on a daily basis. The first step toward appropriate clothing choices is, of course, to check the weather and check it often. The forecast isn’t always right but it’s more accurate the morning of than the night before. So if you wake up and it’s too cold to get out of bed, make sure you check your local weather. Because chances are, by the time noon rolls around you’re going to be sweating in your winter gear when it could easily have been avoided. Even if you know this, you still need to consider the coldness of the morning. So the best way to go about dressing appropriately is to pair a summer look with some warmer articles that can be removed throughout
the day. A sundress with denim jacket and boots is a great, versatile combination. Another sure-fire combination to cover all bases is jeans, a tank with cardigan and flats. These are just examples, but the important thing to keep in mind is that this time of year cannot be classified as summer or fall. We are still in the transition period where all pieces are acceptable and extremely useful. So, in reality, this strange, unidentifiable time of year may actually be the best time for choosing the cutest looks. Just always remember, nothing is off limits – just check the weather! christina.gutierrez@mail.wvu.edu
Prince Harry due in US for military training EL CENTRO, Calif. (AP) — Prince Harry will arrive in the United States next week to begin a two-month military helicopter training course to prepare him for combat. The prince, who is a British Army captain, will start at the Naval Air Facility at El Centro where he will fly Apache helicopters in the remote California desert near the Mexican border. The facility hosts allied
troops throughout the year because its hot, dusty conditions replicate Afghanistan’s harsh environment and the clear weather allows for constant flying. “He will be Capt. Wales when he is here,” said Capt. Devon Jones, the U.S. commanding officer at the facility. “He will be treated like any other British pilot.” The prince will be among 20 students in the British Army participating in the training that ends at an Air Force station in Gila Bend, Ariz., where they will fire missiles, rockets and cannons from the Apache helicopters.
The course is the final phase of a 16-month training program that British Army pilots undergo to prepare for deployment. But those who succeed still have a few final steps to complete in Great Britain before they are ready to be sent into combat, said British Army Lt. Col. Peter Bullen. He said the majority of troops who pass the training go on to be deployed to places like Afghanistan, where they will work alongside U.S. troops and coalition forces. The prince and the other students will not be prohibited from going off the base during their free time, except like
U.S. troops, they are barred from crossing the border into Mexico, Bullen said. The facility is just outside the city of El Centro, which is heavily influenced by its proximity to Mexico, with business signs in Spanish and radio broadcasts in a mix of English and Spanish. Jesus Gonzalez, 33, said it “would be awesome” if he catches a glimpse of the prince in his hometown. “We don’t have places for him to go to cruise around. He’s going to get bored. I would recommend the mall,” he said as he ordered from a roadside hamburger stand. The facility is the winter home of the Navy’s Blue Angels and the site where parts of the “Top Gun” movie starring Tom Cruise were filmed. About 40,000 people live in El Centro, which is in an agricultural area that has the highest unemployment rate in the United States, at 32.4 percent. It’s also known for its 100-plus summer temperatures. “Welcome to the hot spot,” joked Jose Cotero, 49, who was eating nearby. “It’s not even that hot right now,” he added.

Jobs paved way for communication, music, books LOS ANGELES (AP) — Steve Jobs made it easy for people to entertain themselves on hightech devices, and he unveiled gadget after gadget with an effortless touch. But away from the bright lights of the stage, Jobs was a tough negotiator who took turns charming and berating potential business partners to pull off his latest act. The influential co-founder of Apple Inc., who died Wednesday at 56, combined persuasion and power to shoehorn content into devices. He rattled existing business models and became a headache to executives at other companies. Today, iPods, iPhones and iPads are great tools to listen to music, watch videos, play games and read print material bought on the iTunes digital store. Devices are still core to Apple’s profits, but what’s in them songs, novels, magazines and movies took Jobs’ signature determination to get there. Anne Sweeney, president of Disney-ABC, remembers when Jobs wooed her several years ago with what was then his latest device, the video iPod, in order to persuade her to license ABC shows to be shown on the iPod’s tiny screen. Jobs flew down to Burbank, Calif., with a team from Cupertino and wowed ABC’s top brass with an episode of the broadcaster’s own hit show, “Lost.” This was well before Jobs became a billionaire when The Walt Disney Co. bought the animated movie company Pixar from him in 2006. Sweeney was so entranced she forgot to ask where he got a copy of the program. “I thought, ‘He’s Steve Jobs, he can do anything.’” On a later phone call, Jobs told Sweeney that she was talking about Disney “all wrong.” “He said, ‘You keep calling yourself a media company. And you just keep talking about content. You’re a media and technology company and you had better come to terms with that and you better embrace it because that’s who you are.’ And he wasn’t wrong,” Sweeney said at a Los Angeles media conference last month. Jobs had no qualms about
telling company suits what he thought they ought to be doing. A lot of the time, he said they were doing things “all wrong.” Before iTunes was a music store, Apple made iMac computers that could “Rip, Mix, (and) Burn” music from CDs. The company was one of many that jumped onto the wave of music piracy that brought the recording industry to its knees. As the industry struggled to find a way out of the mess, Jobs brought them a way to promote the legal consumption of music, and he had specific ideas of how to do it. He dressed down lower-level record company executives over their ideas in early meetings and then showed off his plan for what would become the world’s largest music store. In 2002, he charmed Warner Music’s then CEO, Roger Ames, into believing 99-cent digital songs were the way of the future. For a lack of better alternatives, the other major recording labels, even Sony Corp. with its competing file format, jumped aboard. A year later, the iTunes music store launched with 200,000 tracks. The store, now with more than 20 million tracks, has become immensely popular, having sold more than 16 billion songs so far. It has a 70 percent share of the digital download market, according to NPD Group. More than a fifth of U.S. music sales by revenue come through Apple. But iTunes has proven to be a mixed blessing for the music industry: Digital revenue is growing, but CD sales have continued to plunge in the decade since its debut. The music industry often blames the fact that iTunes encourages people to buy songs individually rather than entire albums. It was only two years ago that major recording companies got Apple to sell tracks for up to $1.29, the price all top-sellers go for today. The pricing change has provided a needed boost to revenue. But the hike might not have worked if songs weren’t initially priced so cheaply that they offered a good alternative to pirated songs that were free but troublesome to find and download.
“Steve and Apple made it once again easy and accepted to pay for music,” Recording Industry Association of America CEO Cary Sherman said in a statement. “His legacy will live on, long past his all-too-short time on Earth.” Jobs’ influence on the movie and publishing industries has been less profound. While his $7.4 billion sale of the Pixar animation studio to Disney made him rich, it hasn’t turned people into mass buyers of digital movies. Studios are still looking for ways to spur sales, doing everything from adding social media functions to online streams to ensuring that purchased discs come with digital copies that are stored online in the so-called cloud. Jobs was instrumental in creating a new pricing model for digital e-books, hiking some online prices but cutting into publishers’ share of revenue. But the iPad has not become the dominant way people consume books, even digital ones. Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle dominates that realm. Meanwhile, magazine and newspaper publishers are hoping that the iPad can get them out of the funk of falling circulation and advertising, but it hasn’t happened yet. Even the music industry is evolving. Services such as Spotify and Rhapsody are gaining traction by moving people away from owning music and toward subscribing to all-you-can-listen plans. It remains to be seen if Apple can stay on top with its iCloud system of storing songs, photos and documents online and pushing them to you on all your devices. ICloud will debut Wednesday. Jobs’ legacy may be that he helped point the way for the music industry to pull out of a devastating downward spiral and paved the way for the consumption of digital entertainment on devices that are easy to use. “I think he’s our generation’s Thomas Edison,” said Russ Crupnick, a digital music analyst with NPD Group. “When the skies were really cloudiest about where music was going to go, his vision was where the sun was shining.”
Actor Charles Napier dies at 75 BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — His granite jaw, toothy grin and steely stare were the tools that made Charles Napier one of the most recognizable actors movie and TV audiences never heard of. From the dim-witted country music star John Belushi flimflammed in “The Blues Brother” movie to the scheming military intelligence officer who matched wits with Sylvester Stallone in “Rambo: First Blood II,” Napier appeared in scores of films and TV shows in a career spanning more than 40 years. He died Wednesday at age 75 at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, his longtime friend Dennis Wilson told the Bakersfield Californian. The cause of death was not given. The actor, whose earliest roles included a memorable turn as a hippie wanderer searching for paradise in a classic 1960s “Star Trek” episode, continued to work until shortly before his death. He had a voice role in the animated series “Archer” earlier this year. In recent years he was a sheriff in an episode of “Monk,” a father on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and a security guard on the children’s show “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.” His voice was also heard on several episodes of “The Simpsons” as Officer Krackney and other characters. His favorite role was as the judge in “Philadelphia,” the 1993 film that won Tom Hanks a best actor Oscar as an attorney stricken with HIV. His stock in trade, however, was playing steely eyed tough guys in films like “The Silence of the Lambs” and even comedies like “The Blues Brothers,” in which he famously threatened to knock out Belushi’s teeth for asking to see his musician’s union card. “I always felt I played myself or some kind of version

of myself,” Napier told the Bakersfield Californian earlier this year. “If you think about it, old actors probably don’t even have a self.” Born in the small town of Mt. Union, Ky., on April 12, 1936, Napier was a high school basketball star before enlisting in the Army in 1954. After earning a degree in art from Western Kentucky University, he worked at various jobs, including art teacher and basketball coach. (He had minored in physical education.) It was in graduate school at Western Kentucky in 1964 that he decided to try his hand at theater. He appeared in several local plays, including Shakespeare’s “Othello.” He eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he landed a small role on an episode of “Mission Impossible” in 1967. He eventually began appear-
ing regularly in TV shows, including ‘Hogan’s Heroes,’ ‘The Rockford Files,’ ‘‘Baretta,’‘The A-Team,’ ‘Kojak,’ ‘Murder, She Wrote’ and numerous others. He also made several films for schlock director Russ Meyer, including ‘Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,’ ‘Supervixens’ and ‘Cherry, Harry and Raquel.’ He said the latter provided him his most embarrassing Hollywood moment, when Meyer had him run toward the cameras wearing nothing but a hat and boots. Napier settled in the Bakersfield area in the mid-1980s, saying he was captivated by the western Sierra mountain range after getting lost on the way home from filming a TV commercial. Survivors include sons Whit and Hunter and a daughter, Meghan.

‘Other Side’ kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month by rebecca lebherz a&e correspondent
The West Virginia University Office of Multicultural Programs presented “The Other Side of Immigration,” a documentary on Mexican immigration, Thursday to kick off their Brown Bag Lunch Film & Discussion Series on the occasion of Hispanic Heritage Month. “The Other Side of Immigration” is a 60-minute documentary directed by Roy Germano which explores the economic, political and family situations in rural Mexican communities where over half the community immigrates to the U.S. out of necessity for survival. “I think it’s very valuable for our students to be exposed to different cultures and appreciate different cultures,” said Sabrina Cave, executive director for student affairs communication and in-
terim multicultural program coordinator. The entire film is based off over 700 interviews with different individuals from Mexican towns. “As Americans, we often think about what immigration means to us, not necessarily what it means to the actual immigrants,” Cave said. “Being a parent, the chapter on family was really heartbreaking.” According to James Johnson, office manager of Multicultural Programs, the film and discussion series is intended to get people to step out of their comfort zone and get to know other people and ideas. “I’m from Brazil, so I can say I understand what people were talking about on immigration and missing their family, but also looking for a better life,” said Cecilia Orrego, special program coordinator for international visits.
Orrego said she believed it was important for American people to understand that immigrants are honest people who working hard to live a better life. The 2009 documentary discusses how the North American Free Trade Agreement has affected Mexico’s agricultural industries and how Mexico’s own government and citizens have added to the problem of immigration. According to Cave, the Office of Multicultural Programs hosts the Brown Bag Lunch Film & Discussion Series in October and November as well as in the spring semester. Each week, a different culture is profiled and each month takes on a different theme. A presentation will be given by John Corvino, Ph.D., who is known as the Gay Moralist, and the Queer Student Union will present the film “What’s Morally Wrong with Homo-

IPhone 4S continues to build upon revolutionary design By Giuliana Napolitano guest correspondent
“How do you improve on something that is so extraordinary? Well, with iPhone 4S, we did exactly that.” That’s what Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPhone and iPod Product Marketing, said in a promotional video for the new product on apple.com. Apple fanatics across the country are ecstatic for the new device. For those who closely followed the news, Apple has finally set the record straight. The iPhone 4S will maintain the same design as its predecessor, the iPhone 4, but the new version will contain the dual-core A5 chip to provide the “most powerful
iPhone processor ever” as well as an all-new eight -megapixel camera. Yet, Siri takes center stage as an unexpected feature. Apple refers to Siri as a personal assistant, able to make phone calls, schedule meetings, send text messages and set reminders – all of which are voice-activated. Siri is not only able to recognize what a person is saying, but also understand and reply. So, what does all this tech stuff mean to current and new iPhone users? The iPhone will soon be available on the Sprint network for the first time. Apple has also released the eight-gigabyte iPhone 4 in black and white for AT&T, Sprint and
Verizon. Brad Bryan, a mobile phone sales manager at a local electronics store, comments on Sprint’s addition of the iPhone to their smartphone lineup. “It’s going to be a pretty big deal for current Sprint customers and prospective customers, as well,” Bryan said. “For folks who want better value with their wireless plan and have an upgrade currently with Sprint, it’s going to be huge. It would definitely be an advantage to sign up with Sprint.” Apple consumers and fans all over the world have highly anticipated the release of the new iPhone. Noah Rosenberger, a marketing major at WVU, believes that, yet again, Apple has done a good job of
creating a lot of excitement for their new products. However, Rosenberger believes Apple has let some people down with the 4S. “They led a lot of people to believe they were going to release the iPhone 5 instead of the 4S. But, let’s face it; it’s another iPhone,” Rosenberger said. “What makes an iPhone an iPhone is that fact that it’s simple. It still does all of the things people want it to do, but it does it very simply and easily.” Bryan, however, has picked up on Apple’s trends and anticipated the 4S instead of an iPhone 5. “It’s traditionally what they do: the iPhone 3G to the 3GS with the same design and
iPhone 4 to 4S with the same design,” Bryan said. “There were a lot of people who expected this to be the iPhone 5. But if you look back at the history, it doesn’t make sense that they’d go from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 … The changes they made were substantial enough to make people want to upgrade.” Nicholas Isoldi, a current iPhone 4 user, is exited about the new operating system iOS 5, featured in the 4S. Isoldi feels the iPhone will continue to be a widely sold smartphone. “People are going to buy Apple products because people believe in what they make and the uniformity of the product itself,” Isoldi said. “We created the hype as consumers be-
cause Apple is known for being innovative and groundbreaking. So every time they release something, we expect it to look differently and act differently than the version before that … They’re always out to do their best and try to improve their product.” The highly anticipated iPhone 4S will be available for preorder on Oct. 7 and available in stores at 8 a.m. on Oct. 14. The day after Apple released its latest product, they announced the death of Apple’s founder and former CEO, 56-year-old Steve Jobs. Jobs suffered from a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Are you ready for some football? Hank Williams Jr. isn’t anymore. The country singer and ESPN each took credit for the decision Thursday morning to ax his classic intro to “Monday Night Football.” The network had pulled the song from the game earlier this week after Williams made an analogy to Adolf Hitler while discussing President Barack Obama on Fox News on Monday morning. “After reading hundreds of emails, I have made MY decision,” Williams said in a statement to The Associated Press. “By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It’s been a great run.” But ESPN’s statement said: “We have decided to part ways
with Hank Williams Jr. We appreciate his contributions over the past years. The success of Monday Night Football has always been about the games and that will continue.” Spokesman Kirt Webster said Williams made the decision Wednesday night, while the network said it informed Williams of the move Thursday morning. Regardless of whose call it was, one of sports’ and entertainment’s most visible partnerships is over. The song had been a “Monday Night Football” staple since 1989 and survived the game’s switch of networks from ABC to cable a few years ago. The song is based on Williams’ hit “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight.” The lyrics were changed each week to reflect the night’s game. ESPN will no longer have access to the music or words
because Williams owns the publishing rights, the master recordings and the song. Williams, the son of country music icon Hank Williams, is known for his bombastic manner and strong opinions. For next Monday’s Bears-Lions game, ESPN will run before kickoff the preview segment that had been used at the start of the MNF telecast. The intro will be narrated by former Detroit star Barry Sanders. “This is the format we’ll likely use for the remainder of the season,” spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote in an email. “We haven’t made any decisions beyond that.” Williams’ statement on “Fox & Friends” comparing a golf game between Obama and Republican Rep. John Boehner to an outing featuring Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went viral after ESPN announced it would pull the intro late that afternoon.

BCS or bust
patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum
West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen will be coaching his first Big East Conference game this weekend against Connecticut.
No. 16 West Virginia opens Big East Conference play against Connecticut by ben gaughan
associate sports editor
Dana Holgorsen has finished his first chapter of being No. 16 West Virginia’s head football coach. Chapter two – Big East play. The Mountaineers begin the next phase of the season against Connecticut Saturday, hoping to begin their shot at a Big East title. “We’re excited to start Big East football. This is season number two,” Holgorsen said. “We move on to Big East football and a good UConn team comes in here.” WVU did not get to a BCS bowl game last season and shared a piece of the Big East title with UConn, partially because UConn beat them 19-16 in overtime. This year the Mountaineers
want the title all to themselves, and they have inspiration to start off on the right foot against the opponent that stood in their way a year ago. “Without having to use a bunch of motivational tactics this week, our guys realize that the game last year against UConn didn’t end up the way that they wanted it to,” Holgorsen said. The first-year coach has been watching film all week of last year’s game and the one thing he noticed was the difference – turnovers. Turnovers have been a constant battle for the Mountaineers this year. Some days ending positively (Bowling Green) and other days ending badly (LSU). “I spent two hours on Sunday watching that game and how it went last year,” Holgorsen said. “It was a tight game – turnovers
were the difference.” The Mountaineers may have found their go-to guy in freshman Dustin Garrison. The freshman running back now has 356 yards and four touchdowns after his 291-yard breakout performance last week against Bowling Green. Despite the success of running the ball last week, that doesn’t mean Holgorsen is suddenly going to give his running backs the ball 30 times a game. His plans to throw the ball all over the field aren’t going to disappear. “It doesn’t change how we game plan,” Holgorsen said. “Every game we’ve gone into, we’ve gone in with (what) worked. We get into the game doing the same thing. “If we hand the ball off and

As West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said – season two begins Saturday. No. 16 West Virginia will host Connecticut to begin 2011 Big East Conference play. Since the realignment of the Big East Conference in 2005, the Mountaineers have won at least a share of the conference three times. However, only twice has West Virginia represented the Big East as its at-large bid in a BCS Bowl game. The school’s third appearance in a BCS bowl game must occur this season. Before I explain the many reasons why West Virginia must win its conference, let me first say one thing – in terms of football, the Big East Conference competition level is terrible. The conference members have played a total of 34 games against non-conference opponents this season. The eight members of the league were only able to defeat a total of five teams from an automatically qualifying conference. The most impressive wins by the conference throughout non-conference play are wins over Notre Dame, Maryland, Wake Forest and North Carolina State. Only one of those teams currently has a winning record. Thus, it’s generous to say the competition in the Big East is subpar. When Dana Holgorsen was hired as head coach, the expectations of winning the Big East Conference Championship immediately followed. During Bill Stewart’s tenure, the Mountaineers consistently underachieved. Losing games in which they were favored was common and during those three years, West Virginia never made an appearance in a BCS bowl. The 2011 West Virginia conference schedule only includes one road game that could present a hostile environment to a visitor – South Florida. The Mountaineers will play four conference road games. Those four teams combine for an average of 37,724 fans per game this season. South Florida averages the most attendance of those four teams and

The West Virginia women’s soccer team will compete in its final two regular season home matches of the season this weekend. On Friday, the Mountaineers will take on St. John’s at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m. The first 200 fans to arrive at Dick Dlesk will receive a free WVU wristband, compliments of EZToUse.com who is sponsoring the match. Mountaineer Maniacs who arrive early to the match will receive a pair of sweatpants and vuvuzelas- the long horns made famous during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. After suffering a tough defeat in its last match against Villanova, West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is confident that her team will come out firing on all cylinders. “You play to compete and you play to win,” Izzo-Brown said. “Obviously, after a loss, you have to respond even more focused and even more ready. We have to focus and refocus on St. John’s.” Before the loss to Villanova the Mountaineers were rolling on a seven-game winning streak. West Virginia comes into the match against St. John’s with a 10-2-3 record and is 7-1-1 at home. An interesting matchup to watch out for will be the talented St. John’s offense against the stingy Mountaineer backline. The Red Storm has only created a shutout once in its last 10 matches, while the Mountaineers have racked up six shutouts

The No. 22 West Virginia women’s soccer team faces St. John’s and Syracuse this weekend. this season. Senior forward Jen Leaverton leads the St. John’s offense, scoring seven goals and two assists. For the Mountaineers’ offense, Izzo-Brown hopes her team can take advantage of the multiple scoring threats they posess. This year, 11 different Mountaineers have scored goals. “I am confident at any time that someone is going to step up and put the ball in the back of the net,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think it is a huge advantage knowing that someone is going to take on that role and it can be a different player.” On Sunday, the senior members of the soccer team will be honored with Senior Day. The Mountaineer’s will be honoring
six member of the senior class on Sunday – defenders Drea Barklage, Erica Henderson, and Megan Lewis; midfielders Morgan Betscher and Chelsea Corroto and forward Blake Miller. Miller leads the Mountaineers in goals this season with five. The Mountaineers boast a good record against the Orange as well as the Red Storm. West Virginia is 7-3-2 all time against Syracuse, including 5-2-0 at home. The Mountaineer defense hopes to put a strangle on a prolific Orange offense. Syracuse, under fourth-year head coach Phil Wheddon , returns six of their top seven goal scorers from a year ago. The Orange and Red Storm are cur-

If there was a time for West Virginia volleyball to get it’s offense in rhythm, this weekend’s opening matchup against DePaul might be it. The Mountaineers (3-12, 1-3) have just one win in the last ten games, leading coach Jill Kramer to tinker with her lineups and some of her offensive sets. “We want to be really good at a few things, and hopefully our communication with them will help that,” Kramer said. “We’re doing some really, really great things but were lacking in some fundamental areas.” West Virginia will welcome DePaul (4-13, 1-3) and Notre Dame (8-6, 1-3) as part of a three game home stand that will continue next week against Pittsburgh. Kramer wants to see her team defend their home court as they will play just their third home game in the last 11 games. “You have to gain some comfort with one another,” Kramer said. “When you can be home, be comfortable and be in your place you need to have pride on your home court, that’s all there is to it— you have to have pride.” One area the team has been able to rely on is the defense. The Mountaineers defense has been solid throughout the season going into the weekend ranked No. 46 nationally in digs per set led by senior Serinna Russo who averages 5.24 per set.

Russo won’t be able to anchor the Mountaineers defense as she returns to the outside hoping to spark the offense. West Virginia ranks last in the conference in hitting percentage with a .114 mark leading the second-year coach to make some alterations to her offense, hoping to find a combination that works. If the Mountaineers want to find rhythm in their offense, this would be a good time as the Blue Demons rank last in opponent hitting percentage allowing teams to swing at a .261 clip. WVU must make sure its defense is on point against Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish come in ranked fourth in the conference with a .226 hitting percentage. Notre Dame is coming off a tough stretch of opponents and
has dropped their last three matches. The Fighting Irish have had their way against the Mountaineers holding a 3-15 all-time record with the last loss coming in 1998. The Mountaineers may have a slight advantage due to the schedules of the teams as WVU has a day off in-between matches while the Fighting Irish play back-to-back. Kramer hopes the day off will result in the team being rested and fresh. After this weekend and the game against Pittsburgh the Mountaineers will face some of the top teams in the Big East in Louisville and Cincinnati. Kramer wants her team to stay focused on the task at hand without worrying about things they can’t control. “We need to bring it every time, and take it match by match,” Kramer said. “When you only have one shot at a team every match is an important one.” Kramer knows eventually the team will need to find a comfort zone if they are to make a push for the teams first Big East tournament appearance. “The last thing we want to do is to keep changing things because we need to have some consistency in areas to where we can rely on that, count on that, and know and believe it’s going to get us where we need to go,” Kramer said.

Big 12 moves to add TCU AUSTIN, Texas (AP)— After more than a year of watching their league get picked apart, leaders of Big 12 Conference finally made a proactive move Thursday by voting to add TCU as early as next season. It was the first aggressive act by a league desperate to secure its membership amid dramatic shifts in conference affiliation. And if the Horned Frogs join the Big 12, it would be another sharp blow to the Big East, which was expecting to welcome TCU next season. TCU Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. suggested TCU is all but ready to join the Big 12. “These discussions with the Big 12 have huge implications for TCU,” Boschini said. “It will allow us to return to old rivalries, something our fans and others have been advocating for years. As always, we must consider what’s best for TCU and our student-athletes in this ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics. We look forward to continuing these discussions with the Big 12.” TCU, which is leaving the Mountain West Conference, has a rising football program that won the Rose Bowl last season and will play in a sparkling new stadium next year. TCU also was a member of the old Southwest Conference that once included current Big 12 members Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor. “We’re proud that TCU has been invited to join the Big 12,” said Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds, who touted their academic and athletics success as an “excellent fit” for the Big 12. “Their close proximity to all conference institutions makes for a comfortable travel situation.” TCU’s move to the Big East, announced nearly a year ago, was supposed to be about stability and being in a conference with automatic access into the BCS. But Syracuse and Pittsburgh recently stunned the Big East by announcing plans to leave for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Without them, and without more changes, there will be only six other football teams in the Big East before TCU gets there next season. Big East officials declined immediate comment Thursday but
its member schools were aware of the danger a TCU move would mean for the league when it comes to football. Connecticut President Susan Herbst said called college realignment a “fluid situation.” “It is important that none of us here at UConn become too anxious over this situation,” Herbst said. “We will continue to monitor the national landscape and be in communication with officials from other schools and leaders from around the country.” While Dodds and other Big 12 school officials praised the effort to land TCU, there are still big questions surrounding the conference. The Big 12 will lose Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference next season and Missouri is also exploring a move to the SEC. The Big 12 has been on defensive footing since the spring of 2010, when Missouri openly hoped for an invitation to the Big Ten. The Big Ten instead snatched away Nebraska and Colorado left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 over the summer. Missouri did not participate in Thursday’s unanimous vote among Big 12 presidents and chancellors to open negotiations with TCU. A telephone message seeking comment from Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton was not returned. Although TCU would not expand the league’s television footprint, the Horned Frogs would add a Big 12 member in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which is already a rich target for Oklahoma, Baylor and others. It also would bring in a football program that boasted a 36-3 record from 20081020 and went to BCS bowls the last two years. The move also would be a financial windfall for TCU. Big 12 chancellors and presidents have agreed to equally share revenue from the conference’s most lucrative television deals if member schools agree to give those top-tier rights to the league for at least six years. The agreement is subject to approval by university governing boards. The revenue-sharing plan would give each school about $20 million in June and that figure is expected to grow by 2013 when the league’s new 13-year

White Sox name Ventura next manager CHICAGO (AP) — Former AllStar third baseman Robin Ventura is replacing the fiery Ozzie Guillen as manager of the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox say that Ventura agreed to a multiyear deal on Thursday. A longtime star with the White Sox, Ventura was hired by the club last June as a special adviser to director of player development Buddy Bell. Ventura is the 38th White Sox manager overall, including 17 who played for the team. Guillen was released from his contract with one year remaining after eight seasons with the White Sox and immediately was hired by the Florida Marlins as their manager. Ventura was a first-round draft pick of the White Sox out of Oklahoma State in 1988 and spent the first 10 seasons of his 16-year career with Chicago. Known for his slick fielding, clutch hitting and left-handed power, Ventura also played for the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was six-time Gold Glove winner and an All-Star in 1992 and 2002. Ventura’s selection came as a surprise. Most speculation had the White Sox’s top candidates as either Tampa Rays coach Dave Martinez or Cleveland Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. Both are former White Sox players. “When I met with the media as our season ended, I identified one person at the very top of my managerial list,” White Sox general manager Ken Williams said in a team release. “I wanted someone who met very specific criteria centered around his leadership abilities. Robin Ventura was that man. His baseball knowledge and expertise, his professionalism, his familiarity with the White Sox and Chicago and his outstanding character make him absolutely the right person to lead our clubhouse and this organization into the seasons ahead.” Ventura, who has also dabbled in TV commentary, said he welcomed the chance to return to the city where his major league career started. “When I rejoined the White Sox this June, I said this was my t fe uf B 30+ Item baseball home and that part of me never left the White Sox organization,” Ventura said. “My family and I are thrilled to be returning to Chicago. Managing a major league baseball team is a tremendous honor.”

Mountaineers host first home match by robert kreis sports writer
The West Virginia tennis team will host its only home event of the fall season this weekend in the Martha Thorn Invitational Tournament. Matches will begin Friday at 9 a.m. and conclude Sunday. Six teams will be traveling to Morgantown this weekend to compete in the tournament. Pittsburgh, Ohio State and Virginia Tech are the larger schools heading to Morgantown, while Youngstown State, Duquesne and Cleveland State will make up the smaller schools at the tournament. West Virginia head coach Tina Samara is looking forward to seeing a better mix of skill levels in this weekend’s tournament, but knows with each step, the Mountaineers will face tougher competition as the season goes on. “Each tournament we are going to is becoming harder and harder,” she said. “Our tournament is going to be a little bit of mixture of Wake Forrest and Wilmington as far as skill level.”

Samara is excited to see how her team’s difficult fall season will prepare them for the upcoming spring season. “I think this fall is really going to give them the best opportunity to prepare for the spring season and work out all the kinks,” said Samara. The second-year coach is glad to see good weather on the horizon for this weekend’s tournament and is anxious to see how her girls will handle her not being there to coach them as much as she did in previous tournaments. Not only does Samara have to deal with the obligations of hosting a tournament in Morgantown, she will have recruits in town as well. “I am not going to be around as much as I would because of the recruits so (the team) is going to have to really step it up,” said Samara. “It is going to give them an opportunity to see what they can handle without us sitting right there helping them through everything.” Samara claimed it is typical not to be able to coach as much when hosting tournaments compared to compet-
ing on the road. The tournament will take place all over campus. Action will take place at the WVU tennis courts, as well as three singles and two doubles matches being held at the newly-constructed Evansdale Recreation Center tennis courts across from Towers. Six Mountaineers will be competing in the Martha Thorn Invitational this weekend. Sophomore Melis Tanik, who leads the team with two singles victories and teamed up in four doubles victories this fall, will join junior Emily Mathis and freshman Ikttesh Chahal to play in the Flight A singles draw. Sophomore Mary Chupa and senior Veronica Cardenas will be tested in the Flight B singles draw, while Catie Wickline will participate in the Flight C singles draw. Chahal and Mathis will team up to play in the Flight A doubles draw this weekend. Tanik and Chupa will be teamed up together and participate in the Flight B doubles draw along with Wickline and Cardenas.
Pasqualoni brings a different style with a little bit more of a passing attack, but still a hardnosed mentality. “They’ve got a good offensive line, and they are going to play fullbacks and tight ends and try to pound you,” Holgorsen said. “It’s much like LSU’s scheme and way of football. We’re going to have to do a good job of being physical and playing with a bunch of effort.”
The offense feels it can take advantage of UConn’s struggling pass defense with its big playmaking wide receivers like junior Tavon Austin and redshirt sophomore Stedman Bailey. “I don’t think they’re going to play us the same as they play other teams because of what they’ve seen us do (on offense),” Austin said.

rently tied for third in the Big East American Division standings. West Virginia’s 2010 Big East Championship trophy will be on display during Sunday’s match against the Orange, and Mountaineer fans are encouraged to bring their cameras to take pictures of the trophy. After this weekend’s matches, West Virginia embarks on a three-game road trip, starting with Providence Oct. 14. The Mountaineers will return home for the Big East tournament which will be hosted at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
has always played West Virginia well in Tampa. Most importantly, Dana Holgorsen’s team is far more talented than any other member of the Big East Conference. West Virginia has shown the ability to defeat inferior opponents convincingly – something other Big East teams struggled with and sometimes failed to accomplish. Dana Holgorsen also brings something different to the table in 2011. While under the direction of Bill Stewart, West Virginia would rely on a strong defensive performance to win games. This would often result in close games that gave all opponents an opportunity to win. Holgorsen’s game plan is

much different. He uses a highoctane offense that forces opponents to attempt to “outscore” the Mountaineers. Excluding West Virginia, only two Big East Conference teams rank in the top 48 nationally in points scored in 2011. Outscoring opponents is something that should be accomplished. Failing to win the Big East Conference in 2011 would be a major disappointment for West Virginia. With conference realignment looming, the Mountaineers need to take advantage of playing in an unskilled conference. Few teams around the country have opponents such as Louisville and Rutgers standing in their way from a BCS Bowl game. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Junior midfielder Shadow Sebel sets up on a free kick for the Mountaineers against USF Sept. 25th. Sebele is second on the team with 10 points this season.
by amit batra
sports correspondent
Coming off a strong 2-0 win over Cincinnati, the No. 25 West Virginia men’s soccer team is back home this weekend to take on Georgetown Saturday. The Mountaineers earned their first Big East victory over the Bearcats last weekend. The No. 17 Hoyas come into Morgantown with a great deal of momentum. Following the game against the Bearcats, West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc was proud of what he saw out on the field. “We got a big result here,” LeBlanc said after the game. “We have a big one on Saturday night so we’ll continue to push forward.” WVU has had trouble playing effectively for a full 90 minutes in previous games. They
will need to keep their foot on the pedal the entire game in order to prevail against the Hoyas. The Hoyas earned another shutout on the season last weekend with a 2-0 win against DePaul. Following that game, they defeated American 2-1 Oct. 3. They improved to 7-1-3 and 2-0-0 in the Big East. Freshman forward Andy Bevin knows the importance of this Georgetown game. “It’s huge. It’s huge in terms of going to the tournament at the end of the season,” Bevin said. “It’s huge in terms of taking the momentum from Cincinnati to the rest of the season.” The Hoyas also have shutouts against Radford, Stanford, Princeton, Villanova and DePaul. WVU junior midfielder Shadow Sebele also recognizes the importance of facing

Zombie Walk
another ranked Big East team in Georgetown. “It’s a big game. USF just ended our winning streak at home so we’re going to try to set up another one,” Sebele said. The Hoyas have had good results both at home and on the road. They are 5-1-0 at home and an impressive 2-0-3 on the road. Thus far, Georgetown has tied with Michigan, Penn and Penn State on the road. Forward Ian Christianson has led the Hoyas in goals. He scored one against DePaul, added two against Princeton and one against Michigan State. Steve Neumann is also one of the Hoyas key players. The Mountaineers are returning home after losing their first home game of the season against the South Florida Bulls. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
