Hope, happiness in High Street’s ‘Carolina Smoke’ by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

Late Friday and Saturday nights on Morgantown’s High Street, a new street vendor has been attracting patrons with his home-cooked recipes, friendly demeanor and his trademark: the smell of true “Carolina Smoke.”

Keith Horne is the owner and operator of “Carolina Smoke,” a mobile barbecue stand offering fresh ribs, pulled pork sandwiches,

all-beef hot dogs and Horne’s favorite commodity – great conversation.

“I love what I do, I love to cook, and most of all, I love the people,” Horne said. “People always come by and give reviews of my food, and when I see a smile on their face, I know I’ve got some good stuff.”

Horne has been cooking in Morgantown for around three months, and the smell of his wood-fire mobile smoker often permeates High Street.

His favorite places to set up shop are in the Trinity Church parking lot and the corner of High and Walnut streets.

“I want to put something in the air that smells so good you can be in your house, smell it and be like “Man, I’ve got to find that,’” he said. “You have to follow the smoke.”

Every weekend, Horne spends hours preparing his personal barbecue recipes for customers – but to him, it’s a labor of love.

“I did my research, and I saw Morgantown didn’t have any barbecue,” he said. “These people have helped me be successful as I am right now, and I want to give them good food.”

A recovering cocaine addict who was formerly homeless, Horne said he thanks God, barbecue and Morgantown for his success.

“I take one day at a time,” he said. “Morgantown is full of great people, and I love it because

thanks to them, I’ve established myself as a legitimate barbecue.”

Horne moved from North Carolina to West Virginia last November. In his short time here, he has made friends with college students and local businesses alike – which has helped him along. In his work, he seeks to “pay it forward.”

“They’ve helped me be as successful as I am right now. If you stand around, you’ll see the college kids

come running,” he said.

“You’ll hear them yell ‘Smoke! Smoke! The best barbecue in Morgantown!’

I really owe everything to them.”

Horne said he doesn’t forget a single kind gesture, from one student making him advertisements to another making him an official Twitter: @ CarolinaSmokeWV. “That’s why I say it’s all about the people. I’ll give

New meters ease on-campus parking woes WVU, United Way aim to

By Carlee Lammers City Editor

The West Virginia University Department of Transportation and Parking is working to make short-term parking on campus more convenient.

Beginning this week, the department will introduce new pay parking meters in the Mountainlair garage and Short-term Parking Area 9 on Fine Arts Drive across from the Creative Arts Center.

Rates will remain the same; however, assistant director of Parking Management Eric Rosie said the new meters would be more user-friendly.

“The current meters don’t give change and don’t take

credit cards. The meters are not customer-friendly with modern times,” he said.

“They don’t take credit cards – everywhere you go today takes credit cards.”

Rosie said the new meters will provide change, accept credit cards and use a payby-space method.

“Right now, you could technically receive a citation on your car while you’re in the process of buying a permit,” Rosie said. “With the pay-by-space feature, you will no longer need to print a permit for your dashboard.”

Rosie said the new meters would also have a text message parking extension feature.

The new system will send a text message to students when their parking time

is nearing expiration. Students will then have the option to extend their parking time by replying to the text message.

Rosie said he was excited to introduce the new pay meters to alleviate frustrations and complaints with the current system.

“Right now, the biggest complaint we receive is that the (Mountainlair) garage doesn’t give change.

It costs $1.25 to park, you put in your $2, but you get nothing back,” he said.

“Now, the meters will give you change. Hopefully, this will cut down on the complaints and the issues in the Mountainlair garage.”

Rosie said the meters in Area 9 will include attached solar panels to increase sus-

The Department of Transportation and Parking’s goal in installing the new parking meters is to provide the public with a greater range of options and increased convenience when paying for parking.

Rosie said the department is striving to move forward and hopes to provide more of the new meters within the next few years.

“Right now, we’re only changing these two lots,” he said. “Over the next five years, we’re hoping to place the meters in all of the shortterm lots.”

raise $330,000 for charity

by Kaity Wilson correspondent

The United Way of Monongalia and Preston counties, in cooperation with West Virginia University, kicks off its annual fundraising campaign today.

The campaign helps raise money for local agencies that give aid to citizens with low income, illness, illiteracy, domestic violence and homelessness issues.

United Way has partnered with WVU through the Center for Civic Engagement for 30 years.

This year, Campaign Director Kristi Wood hopes to

show WVU not only maintains its commitment to the United Way but plans to reach a little deeper to give more than ever before.

The program aims to raise more than $330,000 this year. They also hope to remain the largest organizational contributor to the local United Way and to increase participation across campus.

More than 180 individuals work as team coordinators across the University. In addition to their regular duties, these people are responsible for col-

GOP focuses on jobs report ‘Occupy’ stalled WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s monthly jobs report has become Washington’s most anticipated and studied economic indicator, pounced upon by politicians, economists and journalists for snap judgments as the presidential election nears. But in the real world, most everybody else just looks around and figures things out for themselves.

Is that steel plant closing?

Are Ford or General Motors rehiring? How much are those groceries? What’s a full tank of gas going to run me? How much is our house worth? How’s that 401(k) doing? When will I find another job? Will our collegeeducated daughter ever find work and move out.

These are the kinds of questions economists and pollsters say are on people’s minds more than government statistics. “People are not looking at these government reports to decide how the economy is doing, or how well they or their neighbors are doing.

They know from their own daily experience,� Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said. “The flow of economic news matters,� but only to supplement what their own eyes tell them, Mellman added.

Given that the unemployment rate hasn’t dipped below 8 percent since the first month of President Barack Obama’s term, Republicans are seizing on the new jobs numbers that come out the first Friday of each month.

The GOP is using the fresh figures to batter the president and revive the question famously asked by Ronald Reagan in 1980: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?� “We’re going in the wrong direction,� GOP nominee Mitt Romney contends. “This president ... doesn’t understand what it takes to make our economy work. I do.�

The latest numbers show a jobless rate of 8.1 percent for August, with monthly job creation an anemic 96,000, not enough to even match the growth in working-age population. It’s doubtful the picture will improve much

by Election Day. No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s has won re-election with an unemployment so high.

Unemployment for Roosevelt was then about 15 percent, but falling from around 25 percent. Momentum and direction do count for something.

The economy has lost a staggering 8.8 million jobs in the downturn and has clawed back only 4.1 million. Just two jobs reports re-

He said people look at different factors.

But which ones? “Jobs is still No. 1,� said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s at the top of everyone’s list. People might not know the government jobs number that comes out each month, but they see it every day in their lives.� A close second right now, Zandi says, are gasoline prices, with the national average grazing $4 a gallon. But otherwise, inflation is generally muted.

Dan Connaghan, 69, a retiree in Traverse City, Mich., who supports Romney, agrees. “Unemployment figures don’t have an effect on my vote.� He questions their accuracy. But he also says there’s one thing he knows for sure: “We’re worse off than we were four years ago.

No doubt about it.�

Pollster Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, said the government numbers “give people a basis of confirmation of their own sense about the economic issues that are the most important to them. And right now, it’s

jobs.�

Only 10 percent of the people in a recent Pew survey consider today’s economic conditions “excellent� or “good,� Kohut said.

To homeowners, the value of their house ranks high. With nearly half the nation’s adult population owning stocks and other securities, mostly through 401(k) and similar programs at work or in pension funds, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is paid some heed.

At its Friday close, the Dow marked its highest level since December 2007, the first month of the recession.

Other reports are more ominous.

The government reported this past week that the income of the typical American household has fallen to levels last seen in 1995.

Interest rates are also followed by many. When they’re low, as now, it means individuals and businesses with good credit can borrow money at exceptionally low rates.

But there is a down side.

For savers and seniors on fixed-income, there are paltry payouts on balances often drawing interest of 1 percent or less. This only adds to anxiety, particularly among baby boomers and other older Americans, especially given the softness in housing prices.

Leaning toward Obama, he said the unemployment rate will be a factor in his vote for president. But he’s also taking into account other social issues.

Jonathan Ketcham, an Arizona State University associate professor who studies the link between local and state economies and presidential elections, said that, contrary to what many political operatives believe, voters are actually more influenced in their presidential decision by the national economy than by state or local conditions. “We found that, going back to 1932, a state’s unemployment rate had no ability to predict voting for president,� he said. Furthermore, he said, despite the GOP four-year “are you better off� question, “we found that most people only pay attention to the most recent year, not to the past four years.�

He said he views this as evidence that “people are rightly holding presidents accountable for the performance of the national economy.�

NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments.

Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators’ heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge.

The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether.

In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart. “We weren’t talking about real things at that point,� says Pete Dutro, a tattoo artist who used to manage Occupy’s finances but became disillusioned by the infighting and walked away months ago. “We were talking about each other.�

The trouble with Occupy Wall Street, a year after it bloomed in a granite park in lower Manhattan and spread across the globe, is that nobody really knows what it is anymore. To say whether Occupy was a success or a failure depends on how you define it.

Occupy is a network. Occupy is a metaphor. Occupy is still alive. Occupy is dead.

Occupy is the spirit of revolution, a lost cause, a dream deferred. “I would say that Occupy today is a brand that represents movements for social and economic justice,� says Jason Amadi, a 28-yearold protester who now lives in Philadelphia. “And that many people are using this brand for the quest of bettering this world.�

On Monday, protesters will converge near the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate Occupy’s anniversary, marking the day they began camping out in Zuccotti Park. Marches and rallies in more than 30 cities around the world will commemorate the day.

About 300 people observing the anniversary marched Saturday. At least a dozen were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct, police said.

But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality.

Back then it was a rallying cry, a force to be reckoned

with. But as the encampments were broken up and protesters lost a gathering place, Occupy in turn lost its ability to organize.

The movement had grown too large too quickly.

Without leaders or specific demands, what started as a protest against income inequality turned into an amorphous protest against everything wrong with the world. “We were there to occupy Wall Street,� Dutro says. “Not to talk about every social ill that we have.�

The community that took shape in Zuccotti Park still exists, albeit in a far less cohesive form. Occupiers mostly keep in touch online through a smattering of websites and social networks. There are occasional conference calls and Occupy-affiliated newsletters. Meetings are generally only convened to organize around specific events, like the much-hyped May Day event that ultimately fizzled last spring.

The movement’s remaining $85,000 in assets were frozen, though fundraising continues. “The meetings kind of collapsed under their own weight,� explains Marisa Holmes, a 26-year-old protester among the core organizers who helped Occupy rise up last fall. “They became overly concerned with financial decisions.

They became bureaucratic.�

In other words, they became a combustible microcosm of the society that Occupiers had decided to abandon – a new, equally flawed society with its own set of miniature hierarchies and toxic relationships.

Even before the ouster at Zuccotti Park, the movement had been plagued with noise and sanitary problems, an inability to make decisions and a widening rift between the park’s full-time residents and the movement’s power players, most of whom no longer lived in the park. “We’ve always said that we want a new society,�

Holmes says. “We’re not asking anything of Wall Street. We don’t expect anything in return.�

Occupy organizers in other U.S. cities have also scattered to the winds in recent months. In Oakland, a metal fence surrounds the City Hall lawn that was the hub of protesters’ infamous tear-gassed, riotous clashes with police. The encampment is gone, as are the thousands who ventured west to help repeatedly shut down one of the nation’s largest ports.cotti Park.

Arthurs said he appreciated Horne’s home-cooked style. “This isn’t like one of those chain restaurants on this street,� he said. “This is real food.�

cording to Wood.

Each year, WVU hosts several events to raise money for the campaign.

The Mountaineers Run United run/walk, which is held in October, and sales of Gold Rush Tshirts are two of the major fundraisers.

WVU students are an incredibly important part of this campaign and bring a lot of enthusiasm,Wood said. “It gives them the opportunity to show the community how proud they are to be a part of this area,� she said. “It also shows a side of WVU students that people may not hear about as often.�

Last year 5,400 shirts

were sold. Student campaign coordinator Andrea Mucino said she hopes to sell more than 6,000 shirts this year. “United Way is a wonderful organization,� Mucino said. “A little thing like buying a T-shirt is giving to a good cause, so I think people will respond to that.�

The Student Government Association will be selling Gold Rush shirts until the football game against Oklahoma Nov. 17.

Shirts are $10 for shortsleeves and $15 for long sleeves. They can be purchased in the Mountainlair Sept. 24 from 10-2 p.m.

Students are strongly encouraged to get as involved as possible with the campaign, Wood said. “No one cent goes unappreciated,� Wood said.

Pledge cards are available online and can be turned in to any of the team coordinators across campus. A list of team coordinators and more information can be found at unitedway.wvu.edu.

DMB new release is a taste of their past jeremiah YAtes a&e editor

The Dave Matthews Band has built a gigantic fan base through relentless touring and solid studio albums. The band’s latest album, “Away from the World,” continues to take their careers toward hall-of-fame status.

After taking a muchneeded break from touring, the band reunited with producer Steve Lillywhite (“Crash,” “These Crowded Streets”) and created an album that emulates the early days of DMB. This is a good album, but it falls short of making the same impact on the American music scene as the first few albums.

“Away from the World,” DMB’s second album release since losing saxophonist and founding member LeRoi Moore, stays true to the style and

sound long-time DMB fans expect.

The opening track, “Broken Things,” has a similar tone to some of the songs released on early albums such as “Under the Table and Dreaming.”

Other tracks on the album, such as “Sweet” and “Gaucho” are great songs to listen to while relaxing.

The musicianship in these songs is outstanding and takes the band back to their beginning days.

“Gaucho,” in particular, has an incredible rhythm and builds to an exciting climax.

I like this album much more than the band’s 2009 release, “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” It wasn’t a terrible album; it just didn’t have the same effect on me as “Crash” and “Under the Table and Dreaming,” which are the best of DMB.

“Away from the World” doesn’t reach that greatness either, but it comes much closer. It is one of those albums you can push play and listen to all 11 songs before you have noticed.

My personal favorite on the album is “Rooftop”, because the chorus has a very cool jam, and the song as a whole has a big sound.

With more than 20 years under their belts, DMB has withstood the test of time. It is one of the only bands that can consistently sell out the largest amphitheaters in the country two nights in a row. They must be doing something right.

While it is not their greatest effort, “Away From The World” is a must-own for any DMB fan. ««« jeremiah.yates@mail.wvu.edu

Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban named new ‘Idol’ judges NEW YORK (AP) — The “American Idol” judges’ panel is now complete with the naming of singer-rapper Nicki Minaj and country crooner Keith Urban.

The Fox network officially tapped the pair with an announcement Sunday, confirming rumors surrounding them both just hours before the first round of auditions for next season was due to begin in New York.

Minaj is getting $12 million for a one-year deal on the hit Fox singing series, a person in the music industry with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the deal.

A representative for Urban wouldn’t disclose the singer’s compensation for “Idol.”

The announcement also settled the status of Randy Jackson. He will stay put as the sole remaining original “Idol” judge, scotching rumors he might assume a different role on the popular talent competition.

This trio will join pop star Mariah Carey at a judges’ panel now expanded to four members from its previous three. The AP reported in July that Carey is receiving just shy of $18 million for a one-year contract with a renewal option.

Arriving at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where the auditions would take place, Urban hailed “Idol” for its “great history of producing real stars.”

As an “Idol” judge, he said he plans to be “authentic” but not cruel.

“I did similar shows when I was very young in Australia,” he recalled, “and I was sort of crucified by one judge. So I don’t know that I’ll ever be THAT guy.”

Minaj said during the au-

ditions she’ll be looking for “a superstar,” which, she explained, is “something that can’t be defined in words.”

Jackson called this pair of hires a “fresh, fresh, fresh `Idol’ one-two!”

Minaj, he said, “brings a whole other cool vibe we’ve never had on the show, and Keith Urban? My God, he’s unbelievably talented!”

When Carey was asked whether she had eagerly awaited news of who would join her as judges, she cracked that, no, she hadn’t, “because all I really care about is me,” but quickly added, “Only kidding.”

Turning serious, she said she didn’t know what kind of judge she would be.

“Am I the mean one?

Am I the nice one? ... It’s not about me, me, me, it’s about them (the contestants) and what I can bring to them to help guide them in the right direction,” said Carey.

Ryan Seacrest will remain as host when the show returns for its 12th season in January.

“Last night,” he said, “we had a chance to really get together for the first time as a group. Everybody made a toast and talked about how special it was that they were here, and why they were here. So we’re off to a good start.”

Seacrest took note of “the serious and obvious diversity on this panel,” adding, “You can see just by the panel the kind of power the show has.”

The makeup of the panel has been in flux since Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced their exits in July. Carey signed on later that month.

“I am thrilled about this year’s judges panel,” said Mike Darnell, Fox president of Alternative Entertainment. “With an unparalleled star like Mariah,

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, center, poses with judges, from left, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson, Sunday. fan-favorite Randy, charttoppers like Nicki and Keith and our incomparable host Ryan, we’ve put together one of the most exciting judging panels around.”

“Idol” is looking for its famous new faces to supercharge a show that remains a ratings leader but has seen its viewership and pop-culture clout erode in recent seasons in an increasingly crowded talent show field. Besides Fox sibling “The X Factor,” which recently added Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as judges, there’s NBC’s “The Voice,” which boasts Christina Aguilera among its big names.

Minaj, 29, is known for her colorful hairstyles, wardrobe and antics. A native of Trinidad who grew up in New York, she has

scored with hits like “Starships,” “Turn Me On,” and “Super Bass,” her seventh single, which has sold more than 4 million copies.

She is the first female solo artist to have seven singles simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

She released her second studio album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” in April, and since then it has sold 1 million copies worldwide.

The 44-year-old Urban has four Grammy Awards and 14 No. 1 hits, and was named Male Vocal Artist of the Year three times, as well as Entertainer of the Year, by the Country Music Association.

His latest CD, “Get Closer,” has produced three consecutive No. 1 singles.

UK military: No plan to end Harry’s Afghan tour LONDON (AP) — Britain says it doesn’t plan to cut short Prince Harry’s deployment to Afghanistan, despite the Taliban attack on the base where he is stationed.

Two U.S. Marines died in the assault on Camp Bastion in Helmand Prov-

ince Friday, and Taliban claimed it carried out the attack to avenge an anti-Islamic film that insulted the Prophet Muhammad and because Harry is there.

Britain’s defense ministry said the prince’s deployment was carefully planned and the threat to

all British troops “is continually assessed and all measures taken to mitigate it.”

Harry’s status as third in line to the throne has complicated his military career.

A deployment to Iraq was announced, then abandoned, in 2007.

His tour to Afghanistan in 2007-2008 was cut short after 10 weeks when a media blackout was breached.

Lobbying a means to an end West Virginia University has recently shifted gears in the way it approaches policy – this time, when it comes to politics.

Thursday, The Charleston Daily Mail reported the University has hired two new lobbyists to represent its interests in the state’s capital.

WVU has employed lobbyists on both the state and national level for a number of years, but a shift in lobbying practices almost invariably signals a shift in priorities.

Lobbying conjures a lot of images in the minds of

Americans – pricey dinner meetings, 5th-floor suites on K Street and company credit cards.

For large universities like WVU, though, lobbyists are an integral part of drawing much-needed funds for research, athletics and academics, and compared to its peer institutions – large universities, state schools, research universities – WVU consistently runs on a relatively smaller budget.

And with the threat of potential budget cuts looming on the horizon, why not better protect our interests in Charleston and in

Washington?

Of course, these tactics occasionally backfire.

A prime example: in 1989, WVU hired the Cassidy lobbying firm to sway the opinion of then-senator Robert C. Byrd regarding an $18 million materials research center for the Morgantown campus.

It nearly worked, until The Washington Post reported on the intent of the firm in courting Byrd, who immediately denounced lobbyists “who collect exorbitant fees to create projects and have them earmarked in appropriations

bills ... for the benefit of their clients.”

This from the chair of the Appropriations Committee – “Big Daddy” himself.

Previously, WVU employed an in-house lobbyist to cover its affairs in Charleston. Now it has hired two contract lobbyists for this purpose, both of whom are highly experienced in dealing with West Virginia’s lawmakers.

University hypocritical when it comes to party reputation

Matt Sunday/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Wiz Khalifa performed at the Coliseum in Morgantown when he opened for Snoop Dogg in February of 2011. The Pittsburgh-based rapper will return to play at the Coliseum Nov. 27 with Juicy J and Chevy Woods.

micah conkling correspondent

“So what we get drunk?

So what we smoke weed?

We’re just having fun, we don’t care who sees,” sings Wiz Khalifa on the hit 2012 track “Young, Wild, & Free” alongside Bruno Mars and Snoop Dogg.

On, Nov. 27, there’s no doubt Wiz will belt those lines in front of what is sure to be thousands of West Virginia University students at the WVU Coliseum. When Wiz Khalifa came to campus in 2011 with Snoop Dogg, the concert sold out.

Another line Wiz will probably utter, from his album “Rolling Papers,” says “I take ‘em out, pourin’

shots of liquor / Drinkin’ out the bottle, smiling in all my pictures / The marijuana loud so them hoes follow like Twitter.”

When The Princeton Review named WVU the No. 1 party school in America in August, responses from the University and administration combatted the unwelcome heralding of Mountaineers as the elite band of merrymakers in the nation.

In response to the title, WVU spokesman Becky Lofstead said, “If you look at the schools on this list, they are mostly large, public universities with strong academic and research profiles, as well as highly successful athletic programs, but in the big picture, clearly this list has no real credibility.”

What is clear is that

the University wasn’t and isn’t proud of this award bequeathed upon WVU. A little foggy – and perhaps failing – is the way WVU and its administration are fighting the party.

One of the ways WVU provides a sober, nontraditional “party” for its pupils is the student lot, which provides an alternative to the traditional drunken tailgate before football games.

Another is “Up All Night,” which is held in the Mountainlair on weekends and touts itself as a safe place for students to hang out and engage in games and other entertainment, rather than drugs and alcohol.

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health also has its “drinkWELL” program, which educates

students about alcohol and maintains a “Regret” blog, in which students can share stories about mistakes they made when under the influence of alcohol.

All of these programs and activities WVU provides for students are great and helpful events. In addition, the work done by University Police to crack down on crimes related to alcohol and drug use is well-needed in keeping campus and the streets safe.

However, bringing in Wiz Khalifa for the second year in a row makes it necessary to question the University’s thoughts and actions.

The preventative, restorative and legal steps WVU takes to cut down on the partying are well

intentioned, but bringing someone like Khalifa for a University-endorsed concert encourages the cultures of drug and alcohol use at a much higher level.

To be blunt (pun intended), it seems hypocritical that the university would speak out against the party label and put so many resources toward battling the party culture on campus, and then bring Khalifa, a man who sings consistently about popping pills, smoking marijuana and getting drunk off of champagne.

I get it. Students like Wiz Khalifa. He’s from Pittsburgh. He has cool hair. The University knows his show here will sell out, thus raking in tons of cash.

I’ll even admit that his tunes are catchy.

But by having Wiz

Khalifa come to the Coliseum and rap about weed and sleeping with many women, WVU is not only endorsing, but enabling students to participate in the very party culture the University wants to nip in the bud.

I’m not trying to be a square. I know hip-hop music is popular in our culture and especially with fellow students at WVU. However, the University needs to be aware of the different levels at which the party philosophy they are embarrassed of operates, and the ways in which the university promotes it.

Obviously Kidz Bop wouldn’t be an appropriate concert act at the Coliseum, but we can do better than a guy who brags about how blazed he gets.

Friday’s job numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics are just another one of the many painful reminders of the recent economic collapse and ensuing recession.

In the month of August, three times as many workers left the job market as found jobs. There was no wage growth and the vast majority of jobs gained were low-paying, and most were jobs serving alcoholic drinks, indicating a trend towards escapism.

This is the fourth month in a row of dismal jobs numbers that on the surface seem hopeful (the un-

DA

employment rate fell from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent), but are discouraging when you look into them.

This begs the question: Why is the economy still so bad?

Our president is very fond of saying that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to “take us back to the policies that got us in the mess in the first place.” What typically follows is empty rhetoric about letting Wall Street write its own rules and cutting taxes for the 1 percent. That all sounds great, but that’s actually not what got us here.

Everyone has heard the narrative before. A bunch of people bought houses and got mortgages. The banks then gambled with

these mortgages, packaged them up, and invested on them in a very risky way. When some people defaulted on these mortgages, the whole thing went south, some banks failed, more people defaulted on their mortgages due to the economy, companies laid employees off, the ailing auto industry was hit by a lack of demand, and the whole economy cascaded into stagnation.

The second half of the previous paragraph is pretty much true. Once the initial shocks hit, everything imploded and a lot of weak sectors and companies were shaken up.

But I don’t buy the supposed root cause: greedy Wall Street investment bankers took risky in-

vestments on the backs of hardworking Americans.

I’m not really a fan of Wall Street so I’m not about to defend it, but the housing market has been the surest bet in the American economy since the ’50s. Home values have always consistently increased, according to U.S. Census data, and people typically try to pay their mortgages because they need a place to live. Realistically, these investments weren’t as risky as they’re made out to be.

The real cause of the recession lies in people living beyond their means.

Government programs such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made it easy for low-income people to get low interest loans, whether they were quali-

fied for them or not. They were all about helping people become homeowners. There’s no deeperrooted American value than property ownership, and these programs reflected the great intention to give everyone a shot at owning a home.

They did this by creating a secondary mortgage market for mortgagebacked securities which would then increase the attractiveness of mortgages for banks to incentivize lending to low-income or even no-income people.

Realistically, however, some people just weren’t good candidates to take on the debt and responsibility that comes with owning a home and financing a mortgage. They shot

too far when they weren’t ready and came up short.

They defaulted on their mortgages en masse and started the vicious cycle that got us where we are today.

Romney and the Republicans want to rectify the problem of living beyond our means. Entitlement reform is crucial to this goal. If we stay on this course of borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend, according to North Dakota Democratic Senator Kent Conrad, we will eventually default on our debt.

We need to practice budget austerity, otherwise the entire U.S. economy will follow the trajectory of the housing market with consequences to scale.

You often will carry more than your share of responsibilities, and will handle them magnificently. The result could be that others will want you to accept more and more responsibility.

FOX to premiere new series tonight

FOX’s newest series, ‘The Mob Doctor,’ premieres tonight at 9 p.m.

by nick wesdock A&e writer

NBC’s legendary hit show “ER” paved the way for increasingly popular medical dramas such as “House” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Tonight, we could see TV’s next big sensation in the genre, as FOX’s pilot episode of “The Mob Doctor” premieres at 9 p.m.

Set in Chicago, “The Mob Doctor” is a medical drama with a twist. Main character Dr. Grace Devlin is a young surgeon with a promising future at Roosevelt Medical Center. Unfortunately, she must first pay off her family’s debts to the Southside mob.

Manhattan-born actress Jordana Spiro plays the lead role of Dr. Grace Devlin.

Spiro is best known for her performances in the movie “Must Love Dogs” and television shows “My Boys” and “Dexter.”

Aiding Spiro is a phenomenal supporting cast

of well-known actors and actresses.

William Forsythe (“Boardwalk Empire”) plays mobster Constantine Alexander, and Zach Gilford, the star of “Friday Night Lights,” plays Dr. Brett Robinson.

Along with the star-studded cast are two ideal executive producers in Josh Berman and Rob Wright.

Berman helped executive produce “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Bones,” while Wright worked on popular shows such as “Law & Order.”

“It’s also ‘ER’ meets ‘The Sopranos,’ so it’s on two levels,” Wright said of “The Mob Doctor.” “It kind of works really great, and it lets us put a character who’s being pulled in two directions in a way that we really haven’t seen before. (Instead of ) two women who lead one life, (‘The Mob Doctor’ is) one woman who leads two lives.”

There is a lot of moral

conflict in the show that deals with what people will do in tough situations and certain gray areas, and Wright and Berman see this struggle as an invaluable aspect of the show.

“I think that’s fascinating, and I think it makes for great drama, and I think it’s what people want to see,” Wright said.

“We’ve really mapped out the whole first season, and there is an event in Grace’s personal life that will push her over that line, and she will do an action that she would not have done in the pilot,” Berman said. “We’re excited to watch her character grow and watch what we assume her morality would be change over the course of a season.”

“The Mob Doctor” begins tonight at 9 p.m. on FOX. For more information on the series, visit www.fox. com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

STATEMENT WEEKEND

Mountaineers score 11 goals in victories against Towson, High Point this weekend

By SheA Ulisney sports writer

It was an exciting weekend for the West Virginia Women’s soccer team, which registered two shutout wins against Towson (50) and High Point (6-0).

The six goals scored against High Point Sunday were the most against a nonconference opponent since WVU’s 5-1 win against Xavier on September 16, 2007.

After a loss and three ties, the Mountaineers finally seem to have found their rhythm. “Everyone on the team has been going out early, getting extra practice helps,� said junior forward Frances Silva. “During practice, we worked a lot on conditioning, crossing, and we did a lot of push-ups if we missed,� said sophomore forward Kate Schwindel. “I think that was a big focus, and I think after we do that stuff repeatedly at practice it helps in the game.�

In Friday’s win against Towson, the Mountaineers took an early lead in the ninth minute off the foot of Schwindel. Silva connected with the ball in the middle, flicking it to Schwindel, who shot from 22 yards out over the head of goalkeeper Erin Quinn.

Bry McCarthy added to West Virginia’s lead in the 54th minute, shooting from 10 yards out past Quinn.

lead.

Schwindel scored again in the 62nd minute. She and Silva connected again in the 66th minute off of another cross pass made by Schwindel for a header by Silva, giving the Mountaineers a 5-0 advantage.

According to Schwindel, the connection was a work in progress. “We finally connected, and I think it’s only going to get better from here,� she said.

Freshman defender Leah Emaus scored the final goal for the Mountaineers and her first career goal in the 79th minute, volleying past High Point goalkeeper Ivy Cocklereece from eight yards out.

The Mountaine ers racked up 23 shots to High Point’s seven.

WVU goalkeeper Sara Keane made three saves.

Schwindel leads the Mountaineers with seven goals and four assists, while Silva has five goals and two assists through 10 games “I think we’re ready and we finally proved we can play with anyone at anytime. We just have to have that confidence and know we can play with these top teams if we play hard every game,� Schwindel said. “We finally got the confidence we needed to finish.

It helped us build our selfesteem going into playing teams in the Big 12.�

Silva connected with the ball in the 58th and 67th minutes to score two goals for the Mountaineers, extending the lead 4-0. “It felt good,� Silva said, who had struggled to score since WVU’s game against Stanford.

Redshirt freshman Annalika Steyn scored the final goal, taking a shot into the net on a cross pass from freshman Kailey Utley.

West Virginia finished with 20 shots to Towson’s 4, and 22 Mountaineer players saw action.

In Sunday’s game against High Point, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown was disappointed with the intensity of the game during the first 30 minutes. “Mentally and physically we have to be better,� IzzoBrown said. “Sometimes things don’t go your way, but you have to have that sheer will to make them go away, and I don’t think we had that in the first 30 minutes.�

But the Mountaineers picked it up in the 21st minute off of a corner kick

by Schwindel. Junior midfielder Kara Blosser scored her first goal in a West Virginia uniform with a header into the low right side of the net.

The Mountaineers scored two back-to-back goals in the 47th and 48th minutes off a breakaway transition

by Schwindel and a header on a cross by Schwindel to Silva, giving WVU a 3-0

WVU remains undefeated at home with 2-0 win by amit batra sports writer

In the second game of its four-game homestand, the No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team looked for another offensive showcase at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium against American.

The Mountaineers had their best showing of the season after outshooting American 19-3. WVU had 10 corner kicks to the Eagles’ one.

West Virginia got two goals and a shutout performance after one of the best offensive games on the season thus far.

Senior defender Eric Schoenle scored his second goal of the season after a header, following assists from senior midfielder Shadow Sebele and freshman forward Ryan Cain.

The Mountaineers got an extra goal from senior midfielder Uwem Etuk, following a 15-yard blast past American goalkeeper Billy Knutsen.

With the victory, West Virginia remained unbeaten at home and improved to 4-2-1 on the season. “It’s a daunting place to play,� said head coach Marlon LeBlanc of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. “We rarely lose when this place is packed. “The fans in attendance were loud as the squad had to compete for ratings from Mountaineer fans, as the West Virginia-JMU game was airing at the same time.�

West Virginia goalkeeper Pat Eavenson recorded his third shutout of the season. The Mountaineers had many scoring opportunities with great passing all night.

American’s lone shot on goal came from Charlie Hunter in the 39th minute.

Eavenson was able to make the save off of a bicycle kick

You always want to make sure the fans are having fun; we’re having fun on the field, too. We take what the other team gives us. We did a fantastic job of that today. “As long as we get a win, we’re happy about it. You feel like the goals are going to come.�

West Virginia controlled the pace of the game Saturday night, and it only gave up three shots. Starting with the first goal, the Mountaineers never looked back. “I think today was a picture of how good this team could be,� LeBlanc

said following the win. “The passing was excellent. We even had a spell where we put together 20 or 30 passes at one stage. We know we have this in us. “We have a number of ways that we can hurt you.

One of the things we talked about was really getting the first goal. We played pretty well. We really, really pushed the game tonight.

Sixty-seven percent of the time, the first goal is going to hold up for three points.�

The Mountaineers return home next Sunday to face the first Mid-American Conference opponent, Florida Atlantic, at 2:30 p.m.

The West Virginia volleyball team came into this weekend’s Gold and Blue Classic with a chip on its shoulder, created when the team lost in five sets to Robert Morris after trailing two sets to none.

West Virginia was victorious two times this weekend after Cleveland State put the Mountaineers to the test early on, defeating WVU in two consecutive sets. The Mountaineers responded with veteran poise as they charged back to draw even at two sets a piece and capitalized on home-court advantage and strong swings by freshman right side hitter Nikki Attea to take the final set.

“I’m not buying the whole ‘these girls are young’ thing,” said West Virginia head coach Jill

Kramer. “They knew what they signed up for, and they knew that they were going to play collegiate level (volleyball) from the start. That is what they are doing, and that is what I expect them to continue to do.”

While the girls of the Mountaineer squad put an excellent performance in the stat sheets, something must be said for Kramer’s knack for calling gamechanging timeouts. Thus far in the season, Kramer’s quick thinking and full use of her pauses has led to some serious point swings in favor of her Mountaineer team. That was not forgotten this weekend when her team came back twice to win two 5-set games against Murray State and Cleveland State.

Cleveland State commanded the Mountaineers throughout the early sets of Saturday’s match, but

a .333 team hit percentage for WVU powered the Mountaineers to their first five-set victory of the season and fueled the fire for a repeat performance against Murray State Sunday.

“I definitely don’t want to take anything away from Murray State,” Kramer said.

“But I feel like we didn’t play our best volleyball today. We let them play with us.”

The Mountaineers are two games above .500 for the first time since their opening tournament and will enter Big 12 Conference play for the remainder of the season.

“It’s going to get tougher,” Attea said. “We aren’t expecting things to get any easier, and we know we are going to have to play really hard against (Big 12 teams).

“I think today was a turning point for us, and we are

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

expecting to continue to do better. We are comfortable as a team, and I think we’re figuring each other out finally.”

The Mountaineers will look to Attea more and more as the season progresses. She capped off her Tournament MVP award with a 15-kill performance against Murray St., her seventh double-digit kill performance of the season.

“She’s responded well to that change to the right side,” Kramer said. “We really weren’t sure where she would fit in with the way personnel was coming into the season. I’m just glad she’s stepped up and done her job on that side.”

The Mountaineers will take their 8-6 record to the WVU Coliseum Saturday to face off against Big 12 opponent TCU at 5 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 10 one, because the next thing they know, the other will be in the end zone.

Smith has received a lot of attention throughout these first two games as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, and he deserves it.

But the way Austin and Bailey have played at this point in the season is a big reason for that. Smith’s completion percentage when he throws to those two is nine points better than when he throws to anyone else on the team.

They’ve been around for a while now, and they know what they need to do in order to produce in this offense.

Of course, it was expected for them to play this well against teams like Marshall, James Madison and even Maryland next week. The true test to see if Austin and Bailey are the real deal will come when they get into Big 12 Conference play. The same can be said about the Mountaineer offense as a whole.

But I guess I’m sold, even after just seeing them play against competition that isn’t that great.

The chemistry they have with one another, as well as the relationship they have with Smith, is going to be huge for this team

Redshirt freshman Dante Campbell made his first career catch count when he snagged a 4-yard pass from Smith in the second quarter, joining redshirt freshman wide receiver K.J. Myers as the second Mountaineer to perform the feat this season.

moving forward. They’re two of the most talented receivers in the country – and two of the most versatile.

In a conference like the Big 12, in which the offenses pass more than anybody, it’s always nice that a quarterback has a receiver to depend on.

In West Virginia’s case, it has two, and the Mountaineers couldn’t have a better one-two punch to throw to. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

the win – besting the high of seven West Virginia tallied in the win against Marshall.

The Dukes were able to pile up 188 yards on the ground – 67 more than West Virginia finished the game with. Redshirt junior running back Jordan Anderson led the effort with 75 yards rushing on 17 carries.

Redshirt sophomore running back Jauan Latney picked up the Dukes’ only touchdown of the game on a 20-yard run with less than one minute to play in the fourth quarter.

James Madison was in a position to score with 10 minutes to play in the third quarter, but it was stopped cold on four consecutive plays inside the five-yard line.

On the ensuing possession, senior running back Shawne Alston was tackled in the end zone, resulting in a safety – the first West Virginia has given up since Dec. 27, 2008.

Alston scampered in from two yards out on the Mountaineers’ first drive – one that saw West Virginia gain 50 yards on the ground. Alston would finish the game with a teamhigh 62 yards rushing.

The West Virginia offense found the end zone on its first four drives – sprinting out to a 28-0 lead with 10:15 remaining in the second quarter.

It was the opposite of what Matthews wanted to see.

“That was exactly what we told our players we didn’t want to do. We didn’t want to let them get going,” he said.

“We just couldn’t move the ball in the first quarter, and they had a couple of third-down conversions.”

Redshirt junior Tyler Anderson – a Morgantown, W.Va., native – tallied the Mountaineers’ lone turnover on an interception; West Virginia also finished with a season-high four sacks. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Senior quarterback Geno Smith became West Virginia’s all-time leading passer in its win against James Madison on Saturday.

Quick start leads No. 7 West Virginia to 42-12 win over James Madison

By Cody Schuler managing Editor

Keeping with the theme of the season’s first victory, the No. 8 West Virginia football team got off to a fast start, broke records and erupted on offense in Saturday’s 42-12 victory against James Madison at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Never before in program history has a team scored more points in three consecutive games (169) than West Virginia has in its three most recent contests.

Senior quarterback Geno Smith continued his stunningly accurate play and all-out assault on West Virginia’s record books, completing 34 of 39 passes for 411 yards and five touchdowns – eclipsing Marc Bulger’s previous program record of 8,153 career passing yards.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen was pleased with Smith’s play and noted despite his early season success, Smith can still improve.

“He needs to keep making everyone around him

better,” he said.

“He is doing a great job of making checks. He’s getting us in the right plays, his completion percentage is off the charts, and he’s not taking sacks – (but) we have to clean some (things) up.”

Holgorsen said James Madison was “who we thought they were,” complimenting them on their resiliency after the game.

“I give a lot of credit to James Madison,” he said.

“A lot of stuff that I said throughout the week was very evident when it comes

to a very disciplined football team that plays hard.

“When we got up 280, they didn’t pout; they didn’t fold or do anything but keep playing. That’s a tribute to James Madison’s program. They do things right.”

Holgorsen said he was happy with how his team played and how they have improved for the secondstraight game.

“I’m proud of our guys.

I think we got better on all three sides of the ball,” he said. “I’m happy with how we took care of the foot-

ball for the second week in a row. It’s good to be 2-0, and we’ll learn a lot from this game.”

Redshirt junior wide receiver Stedman Bailey paced West Virginia with a school-record 13 catches for 173 yards and three touchdowns.

Bailey’s three scores are tied for second-most in a single game in school history, and he became the first player to register more than 150 yards receiving and three touchdowns in a single game.

Senior inside receiver

Tavon Austin got in on the fun as well, grabbing 11 catches for 113 yards and a score. James Madison head coach Mickey Matthews said the trio of Mountaineers did not surprise him with their statistical outputs.

“My hat goes off to them; I mean, it wasn’t surprising how well they played,” he said. “Offensively, I think they have a very good football team. I think they are terrific on offense – specifically, those

Mountaineers not looking past inferior opponents

By Nick arthur

associate sports editor

This season, in terms of scheduling, started just like the 2011 campaign for the No. 7 West Virginia football team.

In both cases, the Mountaineers’ season opener was against in-state rival Marshall, followed by a matchup against an FCS opponent.

Last season, however, WVU found itself trailing in the second quarter to the Herd and trailing Norfolk State at the half.

After two games in 2012, the Mountaineers have yet to trail and have defeated their opponents by a combined score of 111-46, and most of the opponents’ 46 points came in the fourth quarter, when the West Vir-

ginia starters were on the bench.

Is this year’s version of the Mountaineers more focused than a year ago against inferior opponents?

“I feel the focus is the same as last year,” said senior running back Shawne Alston. “We just do a better job of responding to our coaches and going out there on the field and playing with a high level of intensity. Last year, the coaches emphasized it, but we just weren’t able to get things.”

Senior wide receiver Tavon Austin seems to think the momentum coming into the season has something to with his team not overlooking smaller opponents.

“Our team is clicking right now. Off the Orange

Bowl, we came in and we were ready to roll. We’re different than last year,” Austin said. “With our mindset, we know what we want. We know we need to push each other. We’re just a family now.”

West Virginia will likely be heavily favored once again next week when Maryland travels to Milan Puskar Stadium.

Quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital feels the overall experience his team gained a year ago helped improve focus early in 2012.

“Year one, we had a lot of unknowns. We didn’t know much about our offensive linemen or our receivers,” Spavital said. “Right now, we know what we’ve got, and we know how they can handle adversity. Our adjustments are a lot quicker

than they were last year.”

Senior quarterback and team leader Geno Smith’s focus has appeared unbreakable through two games. Smith has yet to throw an interception and only has nine incompletions in 75 pass attempts.

One would assume the team’s general focus starts with its leader.

It’s important for its senior leader and potential Heisman Trophy candidate not to look past inferior foes. And so far, Smith seems to be locked in.

“If we hit adversity, we can’t even tell with him,” Spavital said. “(No matter the opponent) he’s going to be the same guy. He just goes out there and he executes … nothing fazes him.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Senior running back Shawne Alston ran the ball 14 times for 62 yards in WVU’s win against James Madison.

Austin and Bailey have emerged as the nation’s best receiver duo michael carvelli sports editor

I was going to sit down to write this column Friday but, at the last minute, I decided not to because, to be honest, I wasn’t 100 percent sure I agreed with the premise of it.

But after watching the No. 7 West Virginia football team’s 4212 win against James Madison this weekend, I’m ready to say matt sunday/the daily athenaeum it: There is no better receiver duo Senior inside receiver Tavon Austin, left, and redshirt junior Stedman Bailey have combined for 43 in the nation than WVU’s Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. catches and seven touchdowns this season.

A lot of people will argue this is an honor that should go to USC’s Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, and they might be the most talented duo in terms of potential at the next level. But when you look at production at this point, there shouldn’t be a question.

In an offense that has thrived on being extremely efficient this season, Austin and Bailey have been a picture of consistency in the first two games of the year.

Senior quarterback Geno Smith, who has thrown nine touchdowns and just nine incomplete passes, has looked to his top-two receivers for 47 of his 75 pass attempts. Of those

47 passes, they’ve caught 43 of them.

And they were fantastic Saturday. They were the target of 21 of Smith’s 28 first-half passes and combined for 18 catches, 230 yards and two touchdowns.

They complement each other so well. Austin’s the fast, shifty playmaker who can make anybody miss and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball, while Bailey’s the dependable possession receiver who hardly ever drops a pass.

Opposing defenses can’t think about paying more attention to
