Tomblin promotes mental health

By Kaity Wilson Correspondent

Democratic Governor of West Virginia Earl Ray Tomblin traveled to West Virginia University Tuesday to support the University in “holding every life precious.”

Tomblin, along with WVU President James P. Clements, representatives from the Student Government Association, WELL-

WVU: The Students’ Center of Health, the Carruth Center and the WVU Psychology Club gathered to honor National Suicide Prevention Month.

Tomblin said he is a strong advocate for suicide prevention in the state.

“Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for West Virginians between 15 and 25 years old,” he said. “That’s simply heartbreaking.”

Tomblin has recently devoted his time to talking with high school students throughout the state about the issues of suicide awareness and prevention.

WVU SGA President Zach Redding said the topic of suicide prevention has become an integral part of the SGA agenda.

Redding said the SGA is seeking to begin reaching out to help local high

school students.

“We are really looking forward to making a big, positive step in that direction,” Redding said.

Various campus organizations will be brainstorming new ways to reach out those at-risk students who may need help during September.

WVU psychiatrist Brian Quigley said he believes “awareness” is the fundamental word in the efforts

throughout the month.

“We are trying in whatever way we can to allow students to come see us,” he said.

The WVU program Holding Every Life Precious, or HELP, aims to alleviate the stigma of asking for psychological help. HELP strives to encourage students to seek counseling as a positive solution to whatever may be causing them distress.

“We need people to know it’s OK to ask for help, and it’s OK to ask people if they need help,” Clements said.

WELLWVU offers a program called leadWELL during the academic year. LeadWELL aims to teach students to promote healthy behaviors through effective conversations with their peers.

By Evelyn merithew Correspondent

West Virginia University students gathered Tuesday at a candlelight vigil to honor loved ones and commemorate the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.

A tree was lit in front of Clark Hall and the Downtown Campus Library from 7 a.m. and maintained during the day as an effort to remember those lost in the attacks.

WVU Student Government Association sponsored the vigil.

SGA President Zach Redding said he felt it was vital for the WVU community to take time to commemorate the events that took place 11 years ago.

“Myself and other members of

SGA decided that doing something in honor and remembrance of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11 was essential,” Redding said.

Among the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks, WVU lost two alumni, Jim Samuel Jr. and Chris Gray.

Both Samuel and Gray worked in the World Trade Center at brokerage firms.

A red, white and blue wreath was placed in front of the tree symbolizing the University’s pride in America.

Redding said the candlelight vigil provides students, faculty and the state an opportunity to show the nation and the world that WVU honors all who were affected

GE CEO to kickoff ‘Festival of Ideas’ tonight Panel steers science by cody schuler managing editor

sUbmitted

General Electric chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt is the first speaker in the Festival of Ideas lecture series.

Tonight, the CEO of one of America’s largest and most successful companies will bring his global perspective on success and leadership to Morgantown to kick-off the 201213 David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of Ideas.

Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and CEO of General Electric, will address the public with his lecture “Globalization and the Lessons of Leadership” at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theater at 7:30 p.m.

Admission is free and open to the public, and parking is available in Lot 45 outside the Creative Arts Center.

Christine O’ Brien, a senior chemical engineering major from Cherry Hill, N.J., noted that Immelt’s presence on campus will help her gain some knowledge that can’t be at-

tained in the classroom.

“I think it’s awesome that a CEO from such a high profile company is coming here,” she said. “It’s one thing for a professor to tell you how to succeed, but he is on a different level.”

General Electric, headquartered in Fairfield, Ct., is the sixth largest company in the United States in terms of revenue and generated more than $14 billion in profits last year.

O’Brien said her familiarity with the company is derived from her family’s use of GE products and the fact that it is such a recognizable symbol in American culture.

“My family’s appliances are GE, (and) they like that it is an American company,” she said. “It’s a company that never stops trying to innovate.”

students toward career paths

by zak voreh staff writer

For aspiring scientists, finding a job after college can be daunting. But this week, students at West Virginia University have a chance to explore and prepare for the future.

An event called “What Can I Do With a Science Major?” will take place Thursday, Sept. 13 6-7:30 p.m. in the Mountaineer Room of the Mountainlair.

Amy Keesee, a research assistant professor in the

physics department and president of the West Virginia Chapter of the Association for Women in Science, said the event is geared toward helping students.

“We want to give undergraduate and graduate students the chance to learn about a few possible career paths that are available to scientists and find out what preparation is required for them,” she said.

First Graduate and Professional School Fair today

by Shelby Toompas Staff writer

For the first time during fall semester, the Office of Graduate Education and Life in collaboration with the Office of Career Services is holding the 2012 Graduate and Professional School Fair.

The 2013-14 graduate admissions process will kick off next week. The fair will allow students a one-stop shop to explore their graduate school options and have their questions answered.

West Virginia University’s Interim Program Director and co-organizer of this event, Katie Gallagher, said smaller versions of the fair have been held in the past at the end of the spring semester. However, this is the first time a larger fair will take place in the fall.

Continued from page 1 mechanical engineering student from Scott Depot, W.Va., sees Immelt as an executive who has achieved great success, and he pointed to GE as an ideal employer for when he enters the job market.

“It’s great to see someone of such caliber coming to speak at the Festival of Ideas,” he said.

“GE employs all different types of the brightest engineers, so that’s certainly an exciting opportunity for those – including myself – in the engineering field. I was actually looking into the possibility of starting a career there after college; they are a company I really respect.”

Immelt, who is the company’s ninth chairman, has been with GE since 1982 and assumed his role as chairman and CEO on September 7, 2001.

In January 2011, President Barack Obama named Immelt chairman of the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, a group of

The Graduate and Professional School Fair brings together representatives from all 14 WVU schools and colleges, as well as representatives from graduate and professional schools across the country; allowing students to explore various options.

“We will host more than 50 schools and colleges across the country including schools such as Virginia Tech, Boston College, Carnegie Mellon and more, in addition to those from WVU,” Gallagher said.

In the past, several hundred students have made their way through the fair to visit all of their options.

“Seniors and juniors with an interest in graduate or professional school should certainly stop by,” Gallagher said. “However, we also welcome freshmen and sophomores who might be con-

sidering grad school to stop by and start inquiring. These first two years are critical in making yourself appealing and a strong applicant for admission.”

The fair is open to students in all majors and there will be more than 50 representatives present at the event.

Two presentations titled, “Applying to and Funding for Graduate School,” will be held during the fair from 1-1:30 p.m. and again from 1:30-2 p.m.

“They will each be a brief focus on understanding the graduate admissions process, an explanation of funding for graduate school and a chance for questions and answers,” Gallagher said.

During the fair, four application fee waivers will be given out each hour, which

are valued at $60 each.

There will be other giveaways including t-shirts and miscellaneous Graduation Education items.

The Graduate and Professional School Fair is free students, alumni, staff or community members who are considering graduate education.

“I hear from students who often don’t understand the graduate admissions process or think that they can’t go on for a master’s, doctorate or professional degree,” Gallagher said. “This event will allow students to inquire as well as see what is available and ask questions, so that they understand the process and can be well prepared.”

For many students, getting a job after graduation may be the first thing on their mind; however, gradu-

Holgorsen, WVU see benefits in JMU game by cody schuler managing editor

In the second week of the 2010 college football season, a confident and talented James Madison team traveled to Blacksburg, Va., and upset in-state rival Virginia Tech in what is now known as a textbook example of what a Football Championship Subdivision school can pull off on any given Saturday against a larger but unsuspecting opponent.

In West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen’s opinion, upsets like James Madison’s over Virginia Tech have become the rule rather than the exception.

“Anytime an FCS team plays an FBS team, you’re going to make reference to that, but it’s becoming more and more apparent, and it’s happening more and more,” he said.

“Back when Appalachian State beat Michigan, that was the talk of the year, right? Well that’s happening pretty much every week when an FCS team plays an FBS team.

“We’re going to be ready to play, (and) we’re going to be motivated to play.”

The Dukes have what Holgorsen sees as a strong balance of talent and fundamentals that should make Saturday’s game just as tough as ones that are slated later in the schedule.

“They do a good job recruiting; they do a good job coaching; they have the best facilities in the FCS – which is going to attract a lot of talent, – (and) they’re in the very talent-rich state of Virginia – and it shows,” he said. “They have good players.”

“It’s going to be a challenge for us coaches and a challenge for our players to get over there and get better on all three sides of the ball and try to make us better in doing it against a good quality football team.”

One of the hallmarks of West Virginia’s explosive offense is the ability of its playmakers to find open space and make defenders miss. Where most teams find trouble making the first tackle against the Mountaineers, the Dukes’ defense may not have as much because of its ability to shed blocks.

“It’s really pretty impressive watching those guys getting to the ball and making tackles.

That’s going to be a challenge for us offensively is to sustain blocks,” Holgorsen said.

“You talk about yards-after-catch or yards-after-contact, (but) you don’t get those without making tacklers miss or breaking tackles, so I think that’s going to be a challenge for us,” he said. “Those guys play with such effort, and they do a good job of getting off the

blocks and getting to the ball and making tackles.”

On top of winning the game, Holgorsen stressed the importance of the trip in increasing the program’s visibility and recruiting prowess in the area.

“It’s important to us to have a presence over there. It’s important to us recruiting-wise, (and) it’s important to 20some of our kids that are from the East Coast over in that area, so all that makes sense to me,” he said.

One player Holgorsen continues to see positive thingsfrom is redshirt senior J.D. Woods. Holgorsen viewed Woods’ performance in the Marshall game – seven catches, 75 yards and a touchdown – as a sign that his hard work is starting to pay off.

“He’s doing everything right; he brings us a ton of energy,” he said. “His demeanor on the sideline, his demeanor in practice, his demeanor in the weight room (and) even his demeanor in study hall now has changed.

“It’s fun to watch a kid that didn’t do that in the past look at his senior year and say, ‘Oh, I better get my stuff together here because it’s about over for me.’ He’s playing well, (and) he’s a guy that we’re obviously going to throw it to.” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

McCartney looked to teammates to work through adversity by michael carvelli sports editor

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Junior Ivan McCartney caught 49 passes for 585 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore.

When the West Virginia football team’s depth chart was released toward the end of August, there was one notable absence on it.

In a matter of months, junior wide receiver Ivan McCartney went from the Mountaineers’ third-leading receiver in 2011 to a player who was lost in the mix and fighting for playing time when they opened the season against Marshall.

That’s when he had a realization.

“It was motivation,” McCartney said. “No one wants to have their coaches have that perspective of them, so I just had to do something to get out of that mindset.

“I slacked off a little bit, but my job was to get back on track and do anything possible to help the team.

McCartney finished camp strongly, working his way back into rotation and earning playing time against Marshall. He only made one catch, but it was a 52-yard strike from senior quarterback Geno Smith that helped lead the WVU offense to a late touchdown.

That catch was the first time

McCartney, who battled injuries throughout the second half of his sophomore season, had more than 20 yards in a game since he caught four passes for 61 yards against Louisville on Nov. 5.

“I think Ivan was kind of down on himself,” Smith said. “He wants to be a starter, and that’s good because you want guys who want to make plays. I was on the sidelines telling him that when he got in the game and got his number called, he needed to be ready, and he was.”

The 6-foot-2 receiver out of Miramar, Fla., said at times he doubted himself, but he always knew that he would be able to work his way back onto the field.

“In the beginning nobody thought I would be playing this year,” he said. “But I had faith in myself, so I knew I’d be out there doing it once again like I did last year. I just had to fight and push a little harder.

“I had to be an example (for younger teammates). I’m not glad it happened, but I’m glad I learned from my mistakes and I’m moving forward.”

During those tough times, McCartney turned to his teammates for guidance.

One was a receiver who fought through his fair share of adversity before emerging during spring practice as a potential playmaker – senior wide receiver J.D. Woods.

Woods was there when McCartney needed him, providing leadership and picking him up when he thought he needed it.

“I’m always in his ear. I know I believe in him, and I know he believes in himself,” Woods said.

“Ivan has it all. The main thing for him is to keep it in his head and keep it going. He can be a great player.”

He’s still working to get back into the spot on the rotation where he wants to be but the hard part is over. He’s already started gaining the trust of his coaches; now he has to go and make the plays.

Through it all he had no doubts that West Virginia was the place for him. The struggles he went through will help him become the player he wants to be.

“Right now it’s a feeling I’ve never felt before. I’m excited,” McCartney said. “I’m just waiting patiently on my turn, and when it comes, I’m going to take advantage of it.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Andy Murray’s win caps Britain’s golden sports summer LONDON (AP) — First came the victory in the Tour de France. Then there were the stacks of medals at a dazzling Olympics at home.

If that weren’t enough to lift the country’s spirits, Britain basked in another milestone Tuesday to cap this magical sports summer.

Yes, at long last, after 76 years of wait and frustration, Britain has a men’s Grand Slam tennis champion.

Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic in five sets in the U.S. Open final, giving Britain yet one more reason to wave the flag again. The feelgood glow began with national celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s “Diamond Jubilee” of 60 years on the throne and peaked during the last six weeks of Olympic and Paralympic fervor.

Murray’s victory – completed while most of Britain was asleep – came just hours after more than 1 million people lined the streets of London to cheer the nation’s Olympians and Paralympians in a two-hour parade marking the end of the 2012 Games.

“The forecast ... was made yesterday that the great summer of British sport was over, but he’s given us another immense prize to wake up to,” Prime Minister David Cameron said.

After losing in four previous Grand Slam finals, Murray outlasted defending champion Djokovic 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 after nearly five hours on Monday to become the first British man to win a Slam since Fred Perry captured the Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships

in 1936.

Finally, the “Fred Perry curse” has been broken – although until Murray wins Wimbledon, it won’t be fully put to rest.

“Thank God that’s over.

Thank God we can let Fred Perry lie easy. Thank God for Andy Murray,” wrote the Guardian newspaper website.

Like Tim Henman before him, Murray had been dogged by the weight of expectations of the British public and media and the never-ending questions over when the Grand Slam drought would finally be broken.

“Now they won’t ask me that stupid question any more” read the back page headline Tuesday in London’s Evening Standard.

What a past few months it has been for Britain in the arena.

Chelsea won the Champions League. Bradley Wiggins became the first British rider to win the Tour de France.

Rory McIroy won the PGA Championship by a record eight shots and established himself as golf’s dominant player.

Above all, London hosted a hugely successful Olympics and Paralympics that captivated the country. Britain recorded its best Olympic showing in 104 years with 29 gold medals (including Murray in singles) and 65 medals in all. Britain celebrated the close of the Paralympics on Sunday after winning 120 medals, including 34 gold.

Now, Murray has become the first man to win the U.S.

Open and Olympic gold in the same year.

“I’m absolutely delighted for him,” Cameron said. “It’s a huge achievement. For 76 years Britain has waited for a Grand Slam win in tennis and Andy has done it in huge style.”

The victory came on the exact day – Sept. 10 – that Perry won the U.S. title in 1936. It also came in Murray’s fifth Grand Slam final, following in the footsteps of his no-nonsense coach, Ivan Lendl, who lost in his first four Grand Slam finals before going on to win eight major titles.

For years, Murray has been considered just a rung below the “Big Three” of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic, who had shared 29 of the previous 30 major titles. Now he’s joined the club and Britain is rejoicing.

Nowhere was the impact felt more deeply than in his Scottish hometown of Dunblane, a cathedral town and site of a mass shooting in 1996. Murray was 8 when a gunman opened fire at his elementary school, killing 16 children and a teacher.

He didn’t witness the actual carnage, but hid under a desk in the headmaster’s study.

A noisy crowd of about 80 people packed into the bar at the Dunblane Hotel to watch the U.S. Open final that ended shortly after 2 a.m. British time. After Djokovic hit a forehand service return long on match point, the crowd erupted in cheers and chants of “There’s only one Andy

Murray.’”

“Andy is Dunblane’s hero, not just Dunblane, the whole of Scotland and the rest of Britain,” 63-year-old Gavin Noland told reporters at the bar.

Referring to Dunblane’s shooting tragedy, 62-yearold Dave Whitton said: “It’s a town where things have happened, but this brings a moment of joy and happiness instead of other things that have happened.”

Murray’s uncle, Neill Erskine, said he received a text message from Murray thanking the family for their support.

“There are a huge mixture of emotions in the family – pride, relief, excitement,” he said.

Murray’s grandparents, Roy and Shirley Erskine, were among those who stayed up late to watch the match. His grandmother recalled his rambunctious ways as a child.

“He had a temper on him and would always stamp his foot and say, ‘I’ve got to do better, I’ve got to do better.’

But he focused that eventually and used his energy to play tennis,” she said.

Murray did most of his tennis training as a youth in Barcelona but remains fiercely loyal to his Scottish roots. Two other famous Scots — actor Sean Connery and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson — were among those in the stands cheering him on at Flushing Meadows.

“Now Olympic and U.S. Open champion, Andy truly is a Scottish sporting legend and I’m certain that more

Grand Slam titles will follow,” Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said.

The end of the match came too late for many British newspapers, but Murray’s triumph made some late editions.

“History Boy!” blared the tabloid Daily Mirror on the front page. On the sports pages, the Mirror launched a campaign for a Murray knighthood: “Arise Sir Andy: Grand Slam Glory at Last.

Oh What a Knight.”

British TV stations camped out early Tuesday at the modest Dunblane tennis courts where Murray got his start as a young boy, interviewing youngsters who said they were inspired by his triumph.

Murray and Lendl are the two men in the Open era, which began in 1968, to have lost their first four Grand Slam finals. Murray fell to Djokovic in the 2011 Australian Open, and against Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open, 2010 Australian Open and this year’s Wimbledon.

It was Murray’s decisive, straight-sets victory over Federer in the Olympic final in August on Centre Court

at Wimbledon – less than a month after the Wimbledon defeat – that lifted his belief in himself and provided the platform for his Grand Slam success.

“Ever since he won the Olympics he has walked around with a lot more confidence,” said Murray’s former coach, Leon Smith. “After winning yesterday, it’s going to do even more so now.”

Former British player and U.S. Open finalist Greg Rusedski said Murray can only go higher.

“Having won this, he can go on to win many majors and maybe end the year as ... No. 1,” he said.

Murray is ranked No. 4 but is close behind No. 3 Nadal. Djokovic is No. 1 in this week’s rankings, with Federer dropping to No. 2.

“We are all delighted for Andy,” Wimbledon chairman Philip Brook said.

“Winning your first Grand Slam has to be a very special moment in a player’s career, and it was a fantastic performance in an epic final to cap a truly memorable summer of tennis for him personally, and for British tennis.”

This may seem like a drastic adjustment – after all, 7.5 percent of hundreds of millions of dollars is a substantial sum. But an important point to keep in mind is that the revised 7.5 percent budget cut is a 2.5 percent increase on a roll-

ing 5 percent cut implemented in previous years.

That isn’t to say it’s not a pressing issue; it will affect state agencies across every sector. That includes any entity that receives government funding – large public universities, for example.

University officials have estimated a loss of nearly $12 million if the proposed cut goes into effect. A loss so large will have a farreaching impact on West Virginia University and its in-state peer institutions, and may translate to tuition increases, pro-

gram cuts and other negative repercussions for the University.

In arguing against the proposed percentage hike, WVU President James P. Clements introduced an interesting statistic: For every dollar invested in WVU, the University returns that investment 40 fold, generating revenue on a multitude of platforms and improving the welfare of thousands with the skills and security a college degree can confer.

An investment in WVU is an investment in groundbreaking research, inno-

vative teaching curricula and endless opportunity. It’s an investment in the future, too. West Virginia has a college graduation rate of 43.8 percent, which is more than 10 percent below the national average. Backpedaling on a commitment to affordable higher education in the Mountain State can only prove to be disastrous in the long term.

Perhaps most importantly, it’s an investment in the nearly 30,000 students who have placed their trust in college in the hope that it will improve their for-

tunes and their lives. It’s an investment in the sophomore biology student who hopes to become a doctor and provide needed health care in rural areas. It’s an investment in the junior political science student who wants to become a champion for the social issues that plague her country. It’s an investment in the freshman who wants to decide his own fate and secure his own future.

It’s more than an investment – it’s a promise.

Companies should combat piracy with common sense

HTTP://LUNADIGITAL.TV

‘Game of Thrones,’ a wildly popular HBO fantasy series, is the most pirated television series in 2012.

john palmer guest columnist

The recent arrest of Gottfrid Svartholm, cofounder of The Pirate Bay, in Cambodia adds more fuel to the fire of the fight against Internet piracy.

Svartholm, who disappeared while facing a jail sentence and hefty fines, was arrested two weeks ago by Cambodian police. He fled to Sweden after legal action was taken against the website he co-founded.

The Pirate Bay has been the center of Internet piracy for the last several years. Millions of people around the world download terabytes of data every week from The Pirate Bay alone. By RIAA and

MPAA standards, a significant portion of content offered on the website is deemed illegal to download.

Corporations around the world that generate revenue from content that is downloaded illegally have been made numerous pushes to stop piracy in the past year.

Many of these corporations have poured money in support of numerous Internet privacy bills like SOPA, which would significantly limit the availability of any copyrighted content on the Internet.

The Internet community responded to those actions heavily by contacting government officials and getting websites like Wikipedia to “blackout.” The bills would have damaged the integrity of the Inter-

net and would have taken freedoms away from honest Internet users.

For years the battle between corporations and pirates has been a seemingly endless loop of taking down sites, arresting site owners and poor attempts at government regulation.

There are better solutions to fight piracy and stop those who illegally download. Colleges like West Virginia University that prevent students from accessing torrent websites is a step in the right direction.

The best way to find a solution to a problem is to figure out what the problem is and why it is happening. Thus, the best action the corporations could take is to figure out exactly why people download things illegally.

The popular HBO series “Game of Thrones” fittingly illustrates the problem and offers an insight into possible solutions. After the series debuted, it performed very well, and its success prompted HBO to lock it in for a second season. The problem started when many people around the world, including in the United States, could not access HBO. Within weeks the show became the most pirated television show in history, and even today, thousands are downloading it illegally.

HBO can blame no one but itself for this. Many people who illegally download “Game of Thrones” have stated that they would be more than happy to buy every episode if they had the ability to do it for a reasonable price. Getting

a cable provider and paying for the extra package just to get access to HBO is out of the price range for many, especially people outside of the U.S. A simple fix would be to create a season pass to allow consumers to get episodes live as everyone else does. This would surely result in fewer illegal downloads and more money for HBO, if they simply respond to why people are doing it.

In the piracy world, there are three groups of people. The first group is composed of those who illegally download and will never purchase the content they download. The second group is those who lack the funds to buy any content and download the content illegally. The final group includes peo-

ple who are unable to purchase products because of restrictions or because the content is unreasonably priced.

The first step that needs to be taken is to sort out the issues with the final group, as the first two won’t pay either way. Simpler means must be created for the users of the Internet to access the content they want at a reasonable price.

Providers must give the consumers more options and not overprice bad content. Only after that should the MPAA and RIAA go after those who refuse to pay any money.

Internet piracy is a huge issue in today’s world; however, business leaders are looking at it in the wrong way and are taking advice from the wrong people.

True Mountaineers are good sports, too sgt. peggy runyon WVUPD

For weeks, many folks from West Virginia University and the Morgantown community have been concentrating on informing students and citizens about good sportsmanship. The challenge is to engage the WVU students and community in creating and maintaining a safe environment that promotes positive relationships with the community and our guests.

We want to have visitors to WVU events leave with a positive perception and image of our community. A recent survey from the NCAA finds that sportsmanship by the fans has gotten worse. It’s pretty sad when the people who have the least invested in a sport engage in inappropriate behavior just for the sake of rooting their team on.

We realize that it is just a

DA

few fans who make everyone look bad. A true fan should understand that good sportsmanship actually enhances the experience of both playing and watching sports.

Here’s a quick reminder of some things to keep in mind next time you’re at the big game: Watch your alcohol intake.

Know what you can handle before you start to lose your inhibitions and get unruly.

Most displays of bad sportsmanship from fans could be eliminated if fans would just drink responsibly. Besides, it’s hard to really appreciate a game if you’re completely tanked.

Respect the opposing team. Use your lung strength to root for your team and not against the other. When the visiting team walks out on to the field, don’t be a cad and boo them. Instead, respectfully clap for them. Applause is also appropriate when an opposing player is taken out

of the game due to an injury.

Finally, while it’s tempting to taunt and heckle an opposing team, be the better person and avoid it. It just brings the game down.

Respect your fellow fans.

Tickets to college sports games cost big bucks. For many people, they are a splurge, something they buy in the hopes of having a great experience. Don’t ruin it for them by running your mouth the whole game. Nobody likes to sit next to the guy who loudly gives his armchair perspective about what went wrong with each play and how the coach is a moron. It grates on the nerves.

Also, be respectful to fans who are rooting for the opposing team. Their allegiance to a set of guys wearing different uniforms and playing a game does not mark them as arch enemies or make them less human. Don’t give opposing fans dirty looks or hurl crass insults or items in their

direction.

Watch your language. It’s always amazing what comes out of the mouths of fans at sporting events. It would make the saltiest of sailors blush. While I can understand an exasperated word being uttered from time to time, there’s no excuse for a fan’s language to devolve into lurid and filthy talk. Remember, at most sporting events, there are children, so adjust your language accordingly.

And besides, if the rules demand that the athletes keep their language clean, we should expect that from the fans, too.

Respect the officials. Just as players should respect the officials, so should the fans. We’ve all been to sporting events where the refs are booed as soon as they walk out on to the field – before they’ve even made a call! Give the officials the respect they deserve. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy

the game. Sure, they all make bone headed decisions from time to time. But guess what?

We do, too. Imagine what it would feel like if every time you made a bad decision at work, some jerks were there telling you to go kill yourself or saying some untrue thing about your family. Not very cool, huh?

When you’re feeling angry at the ref, take a minute to get some perspective on the situation. You may be able to see either the whole field of action from your perch in the stands or see the replay in slow-motion on the scoreboard, but the ref is out there at eye level watching the action happen in the blink of an eye. It’s not an easy job, and they’re doing the best they can.

Support your team, even when it loses. A true fan sticks with their team through good times and bad. It’s a sad sight to see the bleachers empty at a stadium 10 minutes before

a game is over just because the home team is losing. Stick around until the end and root your team off the field.

Respect the High Five Rules of the Game 1. No excessive drinking— intoxicated fans are not allowed inside or outside the stadium.

2. No foul or abusive language.

3. No smoking in the seating or concourse areas.

4. No throwing stuff (anything) onto the field.

5. No ignoring of the instructions of Event/Security personnel.

Bad sportsmanship is not a criminal offense, but throwing things and hitting people is. Depending on the circumstances it can be assault and or battery, even destruction of property. Wouldn’t it be sad to ruin your college career just because the victim’s only crime was wearing the opposing team’s colors?

THE NEW BRUCE IN TOWN

Amit Batra Sports Writer

Redshirt freshman linebacker Isaiah Bruce led the Mountaineers in tackles and scored a defensive touchdown in West Virginia’s 69-34 season opener against Marshall.

Isaiah Bruce taking advantage of starting job, surprising teammates and coaches

By Doug Walp sports writer

There wasn’t an overwhelming sense of anticipation surrounding redshirt freshman linebacker Isaiah Bruce’s Mountaineer debut heading into West Virginia’s season opener against Marshall Sept. 1.

But this didn’t deter Bruce from leading the entire team in tackles and making headlines with a 43-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in his first collegiate appearance.

“I envisioned just making a play,” Bruce said after the Marshall game. “So I guess everything went according to plan. Lots of intensity from the start.”

Bruce’s 16 total tackles in his collegiate debut, which included a stop for a loss

and the aforementioned defensive touchdown, were good enough for the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week honors in college football’s opening week.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker from Jacksonville, Fla., was a fouryear starter at Providence High and was also a Florida state champion in the 300-meter hurdles.

“He has great size and athleticism for a linebacker, especially in today’s game,” said West Virginia co-defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.

“He’s able to run 20 or 30 yards and make plays in space.”

In addition to Bruce’s obvious athleticism, second-year West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said that it’s the

redshirt freshman’s intelligence that makes him a capable defensive player.

“He’s really a smart kid,” Holgorsen said. “And his conditioning is good. Not everyone looked the same in the fourth quarter as they did in the first quarter, but he looked like he was doing the same stuff consistently for four quarters.”

Ironically, one of the things that originally drew Bruce to West Virginia’s football program was that the Mountaineers were employing the 3-3-5 defensive scheme under former defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel. It was a system that Bruce thought he could initially excel.

But Bruce, who was expecting to see at least some playing time right away as a true freshman, was redshirted in his first year

with the team, much to his disappointment. Part of the problem was his size –Bruce came in as a freshman at least 20 pounds lighter than he is now.

Bruce’s determination never wavered, though.

He used last season’s redshirt for motivation and the offseason to get stronger, faster and smarter as a player.

This year, West Virginia has a new scheme and two new co-defensive coordinators, and so far the results of the season opener indicate no one has adjusted to the new style more quickly or effectively than Bruce.

“It’s his work ethic,” Patterson said. “The thing I appreciate about Isaiah is every single day he brings the same attitude, the

same effort that it takes to be a great player. He’s not moody, he just studies it.

He wants to get better, and it’s all about his attitude.”

Patterson, who is also the Mountaineers’ linebackers’ coach, has spent a lot of one-on-one time with Bruce since taking the job as an assistant under Holgorsen this offseason.

Bruce’s steady demeanor will allow him to get consistently better every single week.

“What I told him after the game, as long as you keep being coachable – doing the things I’m asking you to do – you’ll continue to improve as a player. And he definitely has the right attitude and mind-set to do that,” Patterson said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The No. 22 West Virginia men’s soccer team has been the complete package offensively so far this season.

In its three home games, WVU has outscored its opponents 8-4. The team has been physical, aggressive and ready to make some noise around the country.

In the last game against Oakland, the Mountaineers could have scored six or seven goals, according to head coach Marlon LeBlanc. They still got four goals, but it was one of those games that opportunities were flowing all day for West Virginia.

The scoring chances have been there on a constant basis for West Vrginia.

Finishing has been a bit troublesome, but through teamwork, West Virginia sees itself above .500 after six games.

It’s been a well-rounded attack thus far, and seven players have scored goals this season.

WVU has won the corner kick battle 35-15 after six games. The Mountaineers have also won the shots category by 15.

The scoring opportunities have been present in each game.

This group has not always put away chances, but the amount of talent and potential the squad has is greater than past years. The sky is the limit if West Virginia puts goals into the net consistently.

Each member of the team is aware of how important it is to capitalize on goals and not giving up goals late in games. In the sport of soccer, one goal could be the difference, even if you out-play your opponent.

With the biggest remaining game of the season against Akron Oct. 20, WVU will need to set up scoring opportunities and get going from an early start. In the game against Oakland Sunday, sophomore forward Andy Bevin was able to score within the first five minutes of play.

In that game, West Virginia was able to find the net four times. On the road trip against North Carolina, Wake Forest and Penn State, the goalkeeping and solid opposition made it tough for the Mountaineers to score goals.

In the two losses against the Demon Deacons and Tar Heels, West Virginia was held scoreless while only giving up one goal.

The game against the Nittany Lions was held to a draw, but the chances were there in all three affairs.

“We were due,” LeBlanc said following the Oakland game. “It wasn’t because of the lack of creating chances that we didn’t score in the last few games; we had a lot of chances.

Our finishing was erratic.”

The most promising sign for this team is the constant balance of guys scoring, setting up each other and being outspoken about what the guys should and shouldn’t do.

When you watch this team play live, you get the sense that there is a mixed bag of leadership.

“It’s nice to see a well-balanced attack,” LeBlanc said. “I think we have quite a few weapons.”

During the next three home games against American University, Florida Atlantic and Iona, expect to see this team create chances. If the finishing is there, enjoy supporting the Mountaineers with applause after some goals. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Legendary act Fishbone takes over 123 by hunter homistek associate a&e editor

For half a century, Fishbone has blazed a trail of excellence in the music industry with its high-energy, frenzied approach to the genre of American ska.

Now, as part of a nationwide tour, Fishbone plans a stop at Morgantown’s historic venue 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 10 p.m.

Often replicated but never duplicated, Fishbone has amassed a significant fan following in its 25-year career thanks to its original and refreshing approaching to the ska genre.

Boasting a live performance that is widely regarded as a can’t-miss concert experience, Fishbone has toured alongside bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and The Roots.

With such experience at the top level of the business, the Fishbone show promises to be a stellar event for attendees.

“Fishbone is one of the most influential and important bands in rock history,” said event promoter Adam Payne. “Twenty-five years later, I’m expecting the same show energy as when they rocked Lolapalooza in ’93.”

To help maintain this success through the 21st century, Fishbone has released a full-length feature documentary entitled “Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone.”

The documentary, narrated by Laurence Fishburne, earned LA Weekly’s Critic’s Choice Award at the Los Angeles film festival in 2010 and has been dubbed “effortlessly entertaining” by Variety magazine.

Encore Magazine also hailed the effort as “more than a documentary about rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a documentary about the American spirit and one that shows the life of one of its most influential creative forces.”

With such acclaim back-

ing the band, it is not a stretch to suggest this will be one of the biggest shows of the year at 123 Pleasant Street. Fishbone has sustained a distinct career in a tough business the only way one can – by being exceptional.

Also on tonight’s bill is Detroit-based funk/punk band Downtown Brown.

Since its formation in 2001, the group has steadily made a name for itself in the music industry through its funky beats and willingness to experiment with a wide variety of sounds.

“Take a fat kid who grew up listening to Guns N’ Roses in grade school, discovered Bad Religion and Metallica in middle school and in high school became obsessed with Prince and P-Funk,” said Neil P., vocalist and guitarist in an interview with Punk Globe. “It’s pretty easy to see where our sound comes from.”

Such a summary perfectly encapsulates Downtown Brown; they are not afraid to mesh styles, and they do so with talent and precision.

With a lineup featuring established veteran groups Fishbone and Downtown Brown, tonight’s show at 123 Pleasant Street promises to display exceptional musicianship and a refined, engaging stage show to keep the audience entertained from the opening chord to the final crash of the cymbals.

Metal group As I Lay Dying releases new music video

msopr.com

Longtime metal band As I lay Dying has released its latest video, ‘A Greater Foundation,’ via Metal Blade Records.

Hunter Homistek associate A&E editor

Preceding the Sept. 25 release of its newest album, “Awakened,” via Metal Blade Records, metal act As I Lay Dying has released a music video for the record’s first single, “A Greater Foundation”.

For any great music video, there are two obvious key components: the music and the video con-

tent itself.

“A Greater Foundation” does well for itself on each front, but neither aspect is breathtaking or revolutionary.

First, let us take a listen to the musical content.

This song is the epitome of the metal sound, and it will undoubtedly please fans of the band’s previous work.

Chugging, staccato guitars are met with precise and powerful drums as vocalist Tim Lambesis issues forth his trademarked fero-

cious screaming style.

The verses are driving, blast-beat ridden offerings of metal aptitude, and the pace only briefly slows during the chorus to give way to a more melodic approach to the genre.

The song smoothly rides this contrast of styles to the bridge, where it becomes a bit too “emo” for my tastes.

While the music is still perfectly appropriate, this notion rests solely on the vocals of bassist Josh Gilbert, who provides a break from the screaming by

singing a clean, nasal melody to carry the song.

I do not have a problem with clean singing when it is executed properly within a metal song, but when it is nasal and frail, no thanks.

The song takes this vocal style to its conclusion, which results in a disappointing finish to an otherwise promising track.

Where the visuals are concerned, the music video is quite average.

Set to a graffiti-laden cement backdrop, the video depicts the band,

decked out in traditional metal garb, headbanging, screaming and performing the song in its entirety.

This is par for the course where metal videos are concerned, so do not expect to be blown away here.

Surrounding the band in the video is a rowdy and fired-up crowd who moshes and flails to the music, clearly endorsing the track’s heaviness and tight structure.

“A Greater Foundation” is not a terrible song

or video; it is just not spectacular.

As I Lay Dying has fashioned a lengthy career in the world of metal with its penchant for brutality, and this song is just another day in the park for the California natives.

With a relatively stagnant period for metal underway, one can take solace in the fact that As I Lay Dying is working hard to keep our horns happily at attention. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

UNDERGROUND SOUND

‘Love This Giant’ David Byrne & St. Vincent «««« Talking Heads’ frontman David Byrne and Annie Clark, who is more commonly known as “St. Vincent,” combined talents to produce the new phenomenon of “Love This Giant”.

The album starts off with a deep baritone saxophone in the song “Who,” introducing a key component of the album – the horn section.

This serves as something new to both Byrne and Clark. Byrne’s edge and distinct voice shine throughout the album, to complement Clark’s sweet and powerful voice. Neither voice overpowered the other.

The album merges the two vocalists’ styles while still introducing new material and ideas despite Byrne’s years in the business.

The lead vocals of each song reflect the writer of the song, with the inspiration of their original music.

‘The North’ Stars ««««

In this way the opposite artist only complements the work, and brings his or her own technique to the table for the enjoyment of the listener.

The collaboration and upbeat mood of the album keep the listener engaged to the chemistry of the two artists, and this creates a redeeming listening experience.

Both artists have had experiences collaborating with other musicians – Byrne with Brian Eno and Clark with Sufjan Stevens and Polyphonic Spree – but this might be the beginning of a duo with horns and reeds, refreshing their styles and bringing new elements to the studio.

While the album as a whole is phenomenally crafted, I particularly recommended the tracks “Who,” “Dinner for Two” and “The One Who Broke Your Heart.”

—nbs

The “stars” have aligned.

Canadian indie rock quintet Stars has released its sixth album, “The North,” which is one of the most unique and infectious albums of their career.

Sticking to the signature dreamy vocal collaboration between frontman Torquil Campbell and singer/guitarist Amy Millian, the album immediately takes off with “The Theory of Relativity,” exuding an electronic and airy effervescence atypical from their usual sound.

Although this is an aesthetically matured album, Stars has long offered narratives of teenage romance in their lyrics. Rather than straying too far from this topical center, it seems they have chosen to develop and simply embrace the content.

Longtime fans will appreciate the track “Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It,” which stands as the strongest offering of the group’s traditional

sound.

Also of note is “Through the Mines,” where soft guitar strumming meets perfectly rhythmic drumming to create a pleasant, lush sonic experience.

“Do You Want to Die Together?” takes a different route at the center of the album. Starting with romantic banter, the track pulls a 180-degree turn into a loud reverberation that temporarily transforms the tempo and energizes the listener.

Soft electronics are sprinkled throughout the album, which results in the short-but-sweet tracks like “The Loose Ends Will Make Knots” and beautifully composed piano-driven “The 400.”

Fans who miss the sounds of “Set Yourself on Fire” or find pleasure in a mesh of Death Cab for Cutie meets Postal Service will find a perfect place for this album in their fall collection.

Dylan’s ‘Tempest’ has a taste of everything jeremiah yates a&e editor

Bob Dylan’s recording career has been long, successful and hasn’t seen much downtime.

With more than 50 years experience, Dylan has made his career strong by writing solid songs. He has never been known as a powerful singer, nor has he been labeled a master of the guitar. In fact, he probably ranks with Johnny Cash as one of the most talented mediocre musicians turned legend.

But Dylan fans don’t listen for complexity or an array of vocal range. They listen for the truth and depth within his songs.

When Dylan began his career, rock’n’roll was in its early stages and was taking the world by storm. While parents of the generation despised the provocative new genre of music, most of the youth at the time embraced it with open arms and dancing feet.

Dylan, on the other hand, wanted to do more with his music. “ The thing ab out rock’n’roll is that – for me anyway – it wasn’t enough … There were great catch phrases and driving-force rhythms, but the songs weren’t serious or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way. I knew that when I got into folk music, it was more of a serious type of thing,” Dylan said in “Biograph,” a greatest hits collection released in 1985.

His folk roots are still heard, but his sound is unmistakably rock-n-roll.

Dylan’s 35th studio album, titled “Tempest,” brings everything Dylan fans expect – a little bit of everything.

The opening track, “Duquesne Whistle,” was co-written by longtime Grateful Dead songwriter Bob Hunter and begins the album with an oldie feel.

It’s not the best song on the album, but it’s not the worst.

Today’s generation should listen to this album with an open mind.

If you are not familiar with Dylan’s style, it may not be appealing. It’s gritty, and the style is that of the oldies and early sixties.

But, for me, becoming a Dylan fan was similar to developing a taste for good beer. The first sip was hard to stomach, but once I began to appreciate the wonders of it, life has never

been the same.

“Tempest” definitely carries on with the sound that is his own.

The title track is nearly 14 minutes long and doesn’t have a chorus. It tells the story of the Titanic through the style of an Irish folk song.

My personal favorite on the album is “Narrow Way.” The tune reminds me of the Traveling Willbury’s, the former supergroup consisting of Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.

While this album is not even close to being my favoite collection of Dylan songs, it is still worth owning and appreciating.

His 71-year-old voice sounds tired, but he delivers the music Dylan fans expect. ««« jeremiah.yates@mail.wvu.edu

NEW YORK (AP) — While its rivals covered the solemn commemoration of the first plane striking the World Trade Center on Tuesday, NBC’s “Today” show aired Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner talking about her breast augmentation.

It was an embarrassing moment for the oncedominant morning show, now often beaten by ABC’s “Good Morning America” in the ratings, and showed the continued delicacy of Sept.

11 memories for television.

Even “Good Morning America,” which had Jessica Simpson as a guest host in its second hour on Tuesday, cut away from its usual pop culture-oriented lineup late in its show to air ceremonies at 8:48 a.m. EDT, the exact moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. The “CBS This Morning” show, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC all covered the moment, too.

NBC pointed out that “Today” had a lengthy interview

with a World Trade Center survivor earlier in its show and another segment talking about memories of the event.

While “Today” covered the annual moment of silence last year for the 10th anniversary, it had not in a few of the previous years, spokeswoman Megan Kopf said.

The omission would likely have been less noticeable if NBC hadn’t been airing a segment with reality television’s most frequentlyseen family instead, leading to some ridicule on social media.

The “Today” show did insert coverage of the moment into the program’s later West Coast feed.

“We pause now to remember the moment when the first plane hit the World Trade Center,” ABC’s George Stephanopoulos said as the screen showed the ceremony taking place at ground zero.

The network then switched abruptly to an interview with actor Richard

Gere, who tried to smooth the segue by saying: “It is hard not to get caught up.

That moment seems so fresh.”

CBS concentrated primarily on the White House, where President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama came out on the lawn to observe a moment of silence at 8:48. Fox News aired a split screen of the Obamas and the World Trade Center ceremony.

MSNBC, as has been its recent tradition, aired more than an hour of NBC News’ coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks as it happened that day.

All of New York City’s local broadcast affiliates took several hours out of their usual morning programming to air the annual recitation of names of people killed at the World Trade Center. It was thought that after the 10th anniversary that annual ceremony would no longer be shown on local TV, but it’s an important event for families of the victims.
