City considers new bans, permits by lacey palmer staff writer

Members of the Morgantown City Council discussed an ordinance to prohibit the use of handheld electronic devices while driving or operating a motor vehicle .

In consideration of the state law concerning handheld electronic devices and driving, members of city council said passing a similar, citywide law would help enforcement.

“It goes hand in hand with the state law that was

passed in that regard, so this is simply the city of Morgantown adopting the same law so that we can enforce via municipal court,” said city manager Terrence Moore. “Right now, the city police department has the ability to enforce via magistrate court with the state regulation, however by doing so in municipal court, the ability now exists for the city of Morgantown to more quickly and more responsively enforce any violations in that regard.”

A second public hearing

discussed an ordinance that would require motion photography production permits for motion photography production on public property in Morgantown.

Many assumed this ordinance is a response to the “I’m Shmacked” videos, but Moore says it’s not a specific event that sparked the ordinance.

“It’s so much just that particular event, but the fact in recognizing there’s more interest in film production activity in Morgantown, W.Va., and the fact that in-

Farmers’ Market Pavilion nearing completion by zak voreh staff writer

The Morgantown Farmers’ Market will soon have a new pavilion to house their permanent location.

The new pavilion will be located at corner of Spruce and Fayette Street and is scheduled to be completed

by Sept. 8. The farmers’ market is open every Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. till noon from May 5-Nov. 3.

Lisa Lagana, the market manager, hopes the new permanent location will raise awareness of the farmers’ market.

“The permanent base is a way for people who might not come to the market normally on Saturday morning to see the building and give them the idea there is a permanent farmers’ market in Morgantown,” she said.

The farmers’ market has been in Morgantown for 10 years, starting in front of the court house. It has also been located at the Seneca Center, the corner of Fayette and Spruce Street and

is currently in a temporary lot on the corner of Fayette and Chestnut Street.

The Farmers’ Market features produce and goods locally grown and prepared by independent vendors. The new pavilion would give vendors a permanent shelter from weather and access to restroom facilities.

The new pavilion was funded by donations made over the course of five years.

The funding has come from private donations and local businesses, as well as other programs affiliated with the University, like West Virginia University Healthcare.

Lagana explained many ways students can benefit from the farmers’ market.

“The farmers’ market offers fresh produce to students and sometimes it’s not just fruits and vegetables – you can also get meat or eggs,” she said. Students can also purchase other homemade products, besides food.

University, UPD team up to promote safety by shelby toompas correspondent

This year, West Virginia University has teamed up with WVU’s Police Department to spread safety-first ideas to its campus and students.

This fall, versions of two online courses will be available through eCampus to train both students and employees in safetyfirst practices: Flashpoint and Shots Fired.

Flashpoint is designed to teach people how to recognize potentially dangerous individuals, and Shots Fired is designed to provide information on how to take action if threatened by an active shooter.

These courses are structured to help individuals protect themselves in the event of a crisis.

“We have seen that people who have taken these courses have had a better understanding of what to

do in violent situations, and when we have knowledge, confidence will replace our fears,” said WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts.

For those not interested in the classes, other personal safety options are available. The WVU alert system is a free program for all students and employees who want to receive text alerts whenever there is a dangerous situation on campus. To sign up, visit http://emergency. wvu.edu/alert.

One such text was sent over the weekend in response to a robbery that occurred on campus.

Roberts shared several tips to help students live more safely: When attending parties, use the buddy system and be cautious at all times; that includes not taking drinks from strangers.

National debate surrounding fast-food powerhouse reaches campus

By Carlee Lammers City Editor

Last September, West Virginia University sociology professor Daniel Brewster submitted a guest column to The Daily Athenaeum, with the hope that he could be a voice for change across the University.

In his column, entitled “Enough is enough,” Brewster came out to the WVU community and expressed that he felt targeted as a homosexual on campus.

In July, when Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy made a statement confirming his anti-gay beliefs and use of corporate money to support anti-gay organizations, Brewster found it to be the perfect opportunity for change.

In an official statement in regard- to WVU’s Chick-fil-A restaurant in the Mountainlair, University officials said: “WVU’s Chick-fil-A restaurant in the Mountainlair is an independent contractor which sells the food chain’s product line.

West Virginia University associate professor of English Mary Ann Samyn has captured her own glimpse of heaven on Earth.

Samyn is a recent recipient of the FIELD Poetry Prize, an award granted to writers of outstanding manuscripts through the Oberlin College Press.

She will receive $1,000 for her manuscript entitled “My Life in Heaven,” and the Oberlin College

Press will publish it in the FIELD Poetry Series in the spring of 2013.

The award was judged by the editors of the Press, David Young and David Walker, who said Samyn’s prize-winning submission was “striking in its subtlety, complexity and utterly distinctive voice.”

“I’m very pleased to win this award,” Samyn said.

Continued from page 1 major factor in crimes such as battery, sexual assault and malicious wounding show direct relation to abusing alcohol or drugs,” Roberts said.

Victims who experience any form of battery or become injured from an incident shouldn’t keep the event a secret. According to Roberts, it’s better to let someone know and seek support.

Always lock doors. Over the past years, many robberies have been opportunistic. The University Police Department offers the free program Operation ID, where police can assist victims with paperwork for stolen valuables.

Two types of threats that are common in any community, including Morgantown, often involve strangers and those associated with alcohol.

“Our best prevention advice is to avoid alcohol or at least use in moderation and avoid those who are intoxicated,” Roberts said.

“Walking away from a situation is far better than any possible consequence of engaging in potential violent behavior.”

Roberts urges both new and returning students to be vigilant with staying focused and going to class.

“Your education can change your life in so many positive ways. It is easier to get lost in activities that can make you lose that focus, but you have to be disciplined to succeed,” Roberts said.

More information for Flashpoint and Shots Fired are available on the University Police Department’s website at http:// police.wvu.edu.

In order to for the University Police Department to continue serving and benefiting students and employees of WVU, continuous support and involvement from everyone located on and around the campus community is needed. Questions or concerns may be directed to http://police.wvu.edu/ or 304-293-3136.

The Morgantown City Police Department and the West Virginia University Campus Police stayed busy over WVU’s opening weekend, issuing more than 100 citations in just three days.

From Aug. 17 to Aug. 19, the city and campus police combined to issue approximately 125 underage drinking citations, more than 50 public intoxication citations and 11 nuisance party citations.

The departments also made 14 arrests for behaviors such as battery on a law enforcement officer, unlawful assault, driving under the influence and obstruction of

Apple, Samsung trial heats up SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A lawyer for Apple said Tuesday that Samsung was having a “crisis of design” after the launch of the iPhone, and executives with the South Korean company were determined to illegally cash in on the success of the revolutionary device.

Samsung’s lawyer countered that the technology giant was simply and legally giving consumers what they want: Smart phones with big screens.

The competing claims came during closing arguments at the multibilliondollar patent trial involving the world’s biggest smartphone companies, after last-minute talks between chief executives failed to resolve the dispute.

Lawyers finished closing arguments late in the day, and jury deliberations were expected to begin Wednesday.

Apple Corp. argues that Samsung Electronics Co. should pay the Cupertino-based company $2.5 billion for ripping off its iPhone and iPad technology when it marketed competing devices.

The University’s statement also said WVU’s contract with the franchise runs until 2015, and the University’s relationship with the franchise will not be reassessed until the conclusion of the contract.

But Brewster wanted more.

“For me it’s not a matter of his speech. In fact, I celebrate his free speech right. What I take issue to is that they have given nearly $5 million to anti-LGBT organizations,” he said.

Essa Harris, president of the WVU Queer Student Union, said a percentage of the money from the corporation goes to the organization Family Research, which has supported organizations that support the

phones and tablets using stolen – “infringed” in legalese – Apple technology since June 2010 on sales of $8.16 billion, Apple’s lead attorney, Harold McElhinny told jurors Tuesday.

“The damages in this case should be large because the infringement has been massive,” he said.

McElhinny said Apple confronted Samsung about the alleged copying and sought a resolution before filing its lawsuit last year.

“Instead of doing the right thing, Samsung decided to gin up claims of its own,” McElhinny said of Samsung’s counter claim seeking $399 million from Apple for allegedly using Samsung technology in making the iconic iPhone and iPad. Apple and Samsung combined account for more than half of global smartphone sales. Apple is also demanding that Samsung pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the U.S. market.

“Them giving money to Family Research is very, very harmful,” Harris said. “They may not realize it, but you have to take action for unintended consequences.”

Brewster said the University should end its contract with the franchise as soon as possible because he believes the corporation’s actions counteract the University’s nondiscrimination policies.

“Us still having a partnership with Chic-fil-A really is a poor reflection of the University,” he said.

WVU Chinese studies and psychology senior Brian Gardner created a petition to remove WVU’s Chic-fil-A after hearing of other universities’ initiatives to do so.

“WVU has long supported the LGBT community as well as other groups represented on campus.

Chic-fil-A makes a lot of money from WVU’s contract. It is important to review and revoke Chic-FilA’s as soon as possible so that no more of WVU’s money can be used toward funding the anti-gay groups,” he said. “The University needs to take action sooner rather than later.”

to,” Samsung’s lawyer Charles Verhoeven said during his closing arguments.

“Rather than competing in the marketplace, Apple is seeking an edge in the courtroom.”

Verhoeven argued that the state of technology has led most phone makers to design simple-to-use products with large, rounded rectangular faces.

He conceded that Apple makes great products but said it doesn’t have a monopoly on the design it claims it created.

“There is nothing nefarious about this, it’s the way technology has evolved,” he said, showing jurors a slide of a Best Buy advertisement with photos of similar looking phones made by several different companies. “It’s not against the law in this country to be inspired by your competition.”

Verhoeven implored jurors to reject Apple’s claims as a way to preserve competition in the United States for smartphones and computer tabs. He said a verdict in Apple’s favor could reverberate throughout the marketplace.

While many members and supporters of the LGBT community have vowed to avoid the company, many WVU students are indifferent.

“I don’t agree with what they are doing, and I don’t have a problem with homosexuality, but I don’t think it should be removed from the Lair,” said junior French student Brian Falls.

“Yes, the company is at fault, but removing it from the Lair seems like a dumb idea.”

Freshman journalism student Justin McClure said while the company’s views may not reflect his own, the quality of the food is what keeps him coming back for more.

“I agree that they may not share the same views as average Americans, but I just really like the food,” he said.

A student who wished to remain anonymous said he enjoys the convenience of the franchise’s location in the Mountainlair.

UNDERGROUND SOUND

“Traps” Jaill «««

“Fly” Lettuce ««««

“Peacemaker” Texas Hippie Coalition ««««

Nothing pumps up a college crowd like a solid power-pop album, and Jaill seemed to perfect the most ironically upbeat album of the summer.

The group released its third studio album “Traps” back in June on Sub Pop Records under a low radar.

A follow-up to their sophomoric effort, “That’s How We Burn,” the Wisconsin-based band retains its summer sounds with a more refined touch on the album.

“Traps” formulates a sound that allows them to tie witty, profane and harshly honest lyrics with pop-friendly, surf-punk guitar rhythms.

While the majority of the tracks are sugarcoated candy for the ear, a closer listen will reveal the deeper, bitter feelings of a broken heart and shattered relationship.

Proving to be a rather personal album, it’s hard to deny the instant sunny enjoyment you get from hearing the track “Waste A Lot Of Things,” which loops the banter of a futile relationship alongside regret.

Along the same lines, “Everyone’s a Bitch” pairs a general bad mood with a failed sex life.

Uplifting, right?

While “Traps” may not be a masterpiece anthology-of-the-year candidate, it certainly fits the bill for a beach party soundtrack and without a doubt dishes an attitude that encourages revival for any sour soul.

The album proves to be a solid listen worthy of replaying, and for that I highly suggest fans of indie rock craving an intimate experience check it out and enjoy the musical creation Jaill has provided.

—eal

Funk … or get off the damn stage.

This is the philosophy of Lettuce, the Brooklyn based seven-piece funk band. And once you’ve listened to their latest album, “Fly,” it’s obvious they stick to their beliefs.

The title track starts the album with a slow jam that gives the impression that the band sticks to the classic roots of the funk genre.

After the second track, “Lettsanity,” kicks in, that impression becomes a clear fact. The precise grooves and upbeat bass lines can make anyone with a soul get up and dance.

It’s difficult for a band of any genre to become popular without a vocalist, but this band has it. However, the album does feature soul singer Nigel Hall on “Do it Like You Do,” which satisfies music fans who simply can’t go without lyrics.

Their style is definitely meant for live shows, but Lettuce does an amazing job adding a live feel to the recording process. The tight rhythms and psychedelic jams put the listener in the mood to get funky right in the living room.

Lettuce also pays homage to the legendary funk band War with their cover of “Slippin’ into Darkness.”

“The Crusher” is the nastiest song on the album. Its slow tempo adds a blues feel to the song and is still funky as hell.

The album stays true to the genre of funk and yet adds a taste of modern psychedelic rock If you are a moderate fan of funk, then this album should be a must-own.

Those good ole Texas boys are at it again.

Texas Hippie Coalition, a four-piece Southern metal outfit from Chickasha, Texas, has released its latest album, “Peacemaker,” and the effort is sure to please fans of straightforward, headbanging heavy metal.

The album opens with “Hands Up,” a driving, forceful song with a chorus hook that will leave you singing along and bobbing your head for days.

From there, “Peacemaker” offers more of the same – which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Like most distinguished groups, Texas Hippie Coalition has found its groove and core sound, and they do not deviate from the proven formula.

The band does not pull any punches nor does it have any tricks up its sleeve – as a listener, you know you are getting slapped in the face and kicked in the teeth when you put on a Texas Hippie Coalition record.

Painful as that sounds, for fans of metal and Southern rock, this is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Standing out on the album are vocalist Big Daddy Ritch’s impressive pipes and guitarist Randy Cooper’s blazing lead work, which reminds one of the late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

Texas Hippie Coalition upholds its reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the metal world with “Peacemaker,” and fans of the group and genre are sure to be satisfied with the release.

Check it out, crank it up and hold on tight.

Holograms present celebs with new afterlife issues LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Tupac Shakur rose from the stage in the California desert earlier this year, it was not only a jawdropping resurrection, but also the beginning of a new form of live entertainment.

“Come with me,” the digital Shakur called out, not just to tens of thousands of screaming fans but seemingly to other artists.

Follow, they will. Elvis Presley’s estate announced it has authorized holograms of the King of Rock, Marilyn Monroe’s estate has expressed interest and there’s no shortage of other beloved stars whose fans would die to see them perform again.

Advances in digital artistry make it all possible, presenting celebrity estates with new commercial and creative opportunities, but also some ethical quandaries.

“I think we’ve scratched the surface with Tupac,” said Dylan Brown, a filmmaker who along with director Philip Atwell and effects studio Digital Domain helped bring the Shakur hologram to life. “If it’s done tastefully, like Tupac was done tastefully, I think it could be a wonderful form of entertainment.”

Brown, owner of The Yard Entertainment, and Atwell, owner of Geronimo Films, had each toyed with the idea of using holograms in concerts for a decade, but the technology wasn’t there. Brown, who works closely with Snoop Dogg and Atwell, who collaborates with Dr. Dre, knew that once they chose Shakur for the holographic debut, it had to be more than just a technological marvel.

“We wanted to be really respectful of the family foremost,” said Atwell.

“We just wanted to do something that wasn’t in bad taste.”

Reaction to the Shakur hologram was huge, with the performance garnering 15 million YouTube hits within 48 hours and winning a top award at the creative marketing gathering

Cannes Lions.

“You start to open up a whole new universe of legal questions,” said Ed Ulbrich, Chief Creative Officer of Digital Domain, which is also working on the Presley holograms. “As such, we have no intentions of doing anything other than being utterly respectful of these legends and icons.”

Because it’s two-dimensional, the Shakur performer isn’t a true hologram, which, by definition, is a 3-D image (Ulbrich notes the technology isn’t quite there for that).

But it’s a vivid digital creation that audiences are far more accustomed to seeing in movies - except there is no screen.

Brown and Atwell say part of its challenge was integrating Shakur’s performance into the larger show featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and others.

Shakur’s entry and exit had to be carefully planned to fit into the show, with the creators opting to have his image burst apart into a cloud of gold specks.

Brown and Atwell said the dissolve seemed most appropriate. “He has a mystique and that aura that kind of transcends death even,” Brown said.

Stars wield extensive control over how their names, voices and images are used after they die through likeness, trademark and copyright protections, and now holograms offer them yet another consideration.

Before digital filmmaking, attorney Laura Zwicker said the question for her clients boiled down to “Could you use my photograph?” Now, they have to consider whether they’ll be returned to the big screen, inserted in commercials or put back on stage, said Zwicker a strategic wealth planner in the Los Angeles office of the firm Greenberg Glusker.

Celebrity likeness rights vary around the country, with stars’ estates in California enjoying 70 years of protection. Indiana of-

In this photo taken June 12, video images of the Tupac Shakur hologram are displayed on a computer monitor at the Subtractive Studio in Santa Monica, Calif. fers 100 years and 16 other states have laws protecting celebrities’ likenesses, said Jeremiah Reynolds, an attorney with the firm Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump and Aldisert. The firm handles numerous intellectual property issues, including those related to Michael Jackson’s estate.

While holograms are likely covered by existing laws, potential legal challenges will likely focus on whether the performance is protected by the First Amendment. “You get into very subjective areas about what is artistic,” Reynolds said.

Courts have been divided about whether a work featuring a celebrity

— or one closely based on a star — is transformative and warrants its own protection, or infringement, Reynolds said.

“You get into very subjective areas about what is artistic.”

Marilyn Monroe’s estate threatened legal action earlier this year against a company claiming it was working on a digital show using the model-actress’ likeness. The technology for holograms or other digital performances are intriguing, the estate’s handlers at Authentic Brands say, but they would only partner with people who could make a top-notch product.

Brown and Atwell said

they felt enormous pressure to make sure the Shakur performance was worthy of being an introduction to a new form of live entertainment.

“I also hope that the people who do follow us do it with the same care and the same sense of dedication because I would hate to see a bad version of Marilyn Monroe, a bad version of Elvis up there,” Brown said.

Brown and Atwell are proud that Shakur

is leading the hologram revolution.

“We’re part of the hip hop generation,” Brown said. “It shows the growth of that culture, of that business and it says a lot about what we’ve dedicated part of our lives to.”

“There was a time, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, when people were waiting for hip hop to disappear,” he said. “Now not only is hip hop here to stay, even if you die we’ll bring you back.”

If you enjoy writing, have strong opin-

ions and want your writing to reach thousands of readers, this position is for you.

Reporters As a reporter, you will be thrust into exciting, unpredictable situations to gather information. You will be assigned a specific topic to cover throughout the year.

After conducting interviews and researching your story, you will compile it into a coherent narrative to educate your readers about the latest on-campus occurrences.

Both the columnist and reporter positions are paid positions.

If either of these oppor-

tunities sound interesting to you, we strongly encourage you to attend tonight’s recruitment event in the Honors College. Distinguished political commentator and former DA staff member Michael Tomasky, who currently writes for Newsweek, will be on hand to discuss the impact his time at the DA made on his career.

Voters should be wary of Republican stance on abortion

ap

Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., waves during a campaign rally at the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center Tuesday.

carol fox copy desk chief

Although the platform of the Republican Party will not be finalized until the Republican National Convention, held Aug. 27-30 this year, the Republican platform committee approved a severe anti-abortion plank in their platform Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. This proposed component of the Republican platform calls for an amendment to the Constitution that would prohibit abortion in every case.

According to CNN the platform states, “Faithful to the ‘self-evident’ truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed … We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”

While it comes as no surprise that the typically conservative-leaning Republican Party would be opposed to abortion, as they were before each of the last two

presidential elections, it is surprising they would be unwilling to allow for exceptions such as cases of rape or incest to an anti-abortion law.

This is most confusing because the leading hopeful for the GOP nominee, Mitt Romney, has said “I am prolife and believe that abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.”

While he is clearly not advocating abortion, he sensibly realizes that there are some practical, medical reasons for terminating a pregnancy.

Additionally, the GOP recently showed its disdain for the outspoken Republican

Representative Todd Akin, who claimed that “legitimate rape” does not lead to pregnancy. Republicans from all over the United States called for Akin to halt his bid for a Senate seat in Missouri. And even though Tuesday he announced his refusal to bow out of the race, The National Republican Senatorial Committee and a Republican nonprofit called Crossroads GPS have both rescinded their financial support for Akin – support that totaled nearly $10 million.

This year, the U.S. has seen an onslaught of ever-stricter abortion laws implemented by individual states. For example, Wisconsin Governor

Scott Walker signed a new law requiring three doctor visits for women requesting a drug-induced abortion, with the punishment of jail time for physicians who fail to meet this qualification.

Other states, including Mississippi, Arizona, Illinois, and Virginia, have also tried (some succeeding) to enact laws that would greater limit women’s access to abortions.

Considering all of the concern for women’s reproductive rights, the most pressing question left to be answered is: Why now?

The simple answer is that this is an election year. Big issues like same-sex marriage, immigration, the economy

and abortion are obviously going to be in the front of policymaker’s minds, as they scramble to implement their own agendas before they possibly have to turn over the reigns to another.

Citizens of the U.S. cannot be swayed by these politician’s last-ditch efforts to hamper women’s reproductive rights.

The public must take the initiative to make themselves aware of what their politicians are lobbying for in their state and local governments. The kind of public outcry that came after Rep. Akin “misspoke” should be reinforced by our choices at the polls this Election Day.

Get familiar with new W.Va. laws regulating cell-phone use while driving Sgt. peggy runyon wvu pd

With the ongoing advances in technology – it seems just about everyone owns a cell phone, smart phone or other gadget – West Virginia lawmakers believed it was time to address the safety risks these devices can pose.

Drivers who take their hands off the wheel to text or look away from the road to read a message are not only putting themselves at risk for an accident. If they cross the center line or lose control, other motoristson the road and pedestrians

DA

are in danger.

There are many other distractions that can pose hazards, such as eating while driving, changing a radio station or even breaking up an argument between two children in the back seat.

The sheer number of motorists who are now talking and texting while driving makes this a very real safety issue.

A newly enacted legislation in West Virginia addresses texting while driving as a traffic offense. It makes texting a primary offense, which means police are able to give a ticket if the driver is using an “electronic communication device” while driving without needing any other reason to

initiate a traffic stop.

What exactly are considered electronic communication devices? Here in West Virginia, it can be a cellular telephone, personal digital assistant, electronic device with mobile data access, laptop computer, pager, broadband personal communication device, two-way messaging device, electronic game or portable computing device.

Motorists ticketed and found guilty for this offense while in West Virginia shall be fined $100 on first offense. The fine doubles to $200 for a second offense and rises to $300 for third and subsequent citations. No court cost or other fees can be collected for the

violation.

Everyone needs to know that written within the new code 17C-14-15 is a subsection that says: “Driving or operating a motor vehicle on a public street or highway while using a cellular phone or other electronic communication device without hands-free equipment shall now be enforced as a secondary offense beginning on July 1, 2012, and will automatically become a primary offense as of July 1, 2013.”

For now, this means when a motorist is stopped for another offense and found to be using a cell phone or other electronic communication device

without hands-free equipment, the motorist can be issued a citation for the secondary violation. Beginning July 1, 2013, the offense will become primary meaning that talking on the phone while driving, by itself, is sufficient cause to warrant a traffic stop. So start looking for ways to become handsfree now. Many newer model vehicles are already equipped for hands-free phone conversations. However, there are also gadgets available at discount stores, on the internet and from car dealerships that are just as effective.

University Police have already issued several citations for violating these new laws during the past

week.

It’s important to note that the law applies even if you’re at a traffic light or stop sign.

The Mountain State already has a law that bans any wireless device use by drivers under age 18 with a learner’s permit or intermediate license.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY You will approach life with far greater intensity than in the past. You will do whatever you need to do to root out an issue. A key partnership plays a much stronger role in looking at some of life’s basic issues. The superficial has no role in your life. If you are single, you will have zero tolerance for playing games, or even courtship. Realize that this attitude could be a liability, especially if you are attached. Try to be less judgmental and more accepting. SCORPIO might have deep thoughts but could be hard to deal with.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You have a lot of panache, and you do not hesitate to display your passion and core feelings. By midday, you might decide to focus on a project, even if you are by yourself. Your creativity emerges no matter what you do. Tonight: Return calls and emails.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You easily get sidetracked, no matter what you are doing. Honor your priorities despite others inadvertently breaking into your plans, in need of your help.

You juggle this burden with sensitivity to others. A child or loved one steals the scene. Tonight: Be responsive to a friend or family member.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Focus on completion and getting the job done. You could be overtired or withdrawn. When you become inspired, you feel like anything is possible; however, it will be your tremendous effort that makes a difference. It is you who makes a situation change. Tonight: Relax.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Understanding comes from getting past a self-imposed restraint. Also, be willing to verbalize your goals and desires. An associate lets you know that he or she has had a change of mind about a detail, but not the whole idea. Tonight: Express your naughty side.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You could be far more possessive than you think you are. Try to be more self-aware, and listen to a partner’s feedback. You might want to break a bad habit, especially if it encumbers your interpersonal communication. Tonight: Curb a desire to go on a spending spree, if possible.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You have a strong reaction, which is unlike your normally logical stance. You let others know if they cross you. Someone close to you might not be sure of what is going on, and could test this newfound assertiveness. Confirm meetings and any information that does not sound correct. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You definitely know what you want, but getting someone to respond as you’d like could be a different story. Once more, you are reminded that you can control only yourself. Remain diplomatic yet clear. This person needs to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Go shopping for that special item.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You seem to be in your element; however, someone else might not be on the same mental plane as you. You cannot seem to get your point across. It is as if this person’s mind is impenetrable.

Electronic, funk to take over 123

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

Was FallFest too big for your taste? Perhaps you’re craving a more intimate musical setting featuring unique artists?

Tonight’s 123 Pleasant Street lineup may be just what you need to satiate your sonic desires.

Morgantown’s most popular local music destination will be playing host to two genre-bending acts, Zoogma and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong.

Zoogma is a four-piece electronic rock band hailing from the American south. The group is making the stop at 123 as part of their east coast-based tour.

“Zoogma delivered sets at Wakarusa and Electric Forest that have been the talk of the electronic festival community,” said Adam Payne, event promoter.

“This summer pushed them to the next level of artists in their genre, and their new release ‘Wet Hot American Mixtape’ is recieving rave reviews.”

To be fair, “electronic rock” is way too broad a term to describe the band’s diverse sound palette. This is a band that jams, improvises and incorporates elements of hip-hop and constant dance beats.

This is not just another Macbook-wannabe disc jockey outfit, if you couldn’t tell by the group’s Facebook fanbase, which totals more than 15,000.

These guys make mature electronic music with a distinct sense of melody throughout, utilizing not only live drums and guitars but also synthesizers and live sequencing.

The boys of Zoogma bring to the table a refresh-

Zoogma headlines at 123 Pleasant Street tonight. ing songwriting-based approach to their tunes rather than simply the “hook-and-drop” method of so many other popular acts today.

The group manages to do this and still maintain a distinct calm and atmospheric feel to its tunes.

This style culminates in an almost unheard – but definitely present – chilled-out Pink Floyd vibe.

When all that is combined with a mind-bending experience of a light and stage show, concert-

goers are in for a treat.

Also taking the stage Wednesday night is a fourpiece band from Baltimore, MD. The hilariously-titled Pigeons Playing Ping Pong are a righteous funk band, blending together psychedelic, relaxed soundscapes with moments of bombastic, pompous groove that even dabbles with elements of jazz.

With their fast-paced, groove-steady drumming, prominent bouncing bass lines and serene guitar

work, people who are not so knowledgeable about funk may be reminded of a less-mainstream version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Attendees can expect a live show featuring original tracks, covers, instrumentals and heavy improvisation jamming.

Fans of the band, aptly titled “The Flock,” know they can also expect to be floored by superior musicianship.

You will jam, you will dance and you will definitely chill; a point exem-

plified by a previous trip to 123 by the band.

“Pigeons Playing Ping Pong really took a sold out Fletcher’s Grove crowd at 123 Pleasant Street by surprise last semester,” Payne said. “This band has established a solid foundation in Morgantown, and that has earned them a return headline spot on Sept. 20 as well.”

If there was a single word to sum up the band’s music it would simply be fun. The group has recently been gaining momentum

in the music world, recently landing several high profile festival spots.

Go and see these pigeons before they leave the local-circuit barn for good.

Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased online at 123pleasantstreet.com or at the door, depending on availability. There will be $2 rail drinks available from the bar.

Concertgoers must be 18 to attend the show and 21 to drink. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

New mixtape from Sammy Adams impresses, shows growth NICK WESDOCK A&e WRITER

Boston rapper and hiphop artist Sammy Adams celebrated his 25th birthday Aug. 14 by releasing his brand new mixtape.

Entitled “OK Cool,” the tape includes 15 new tracks, but fortunately for his fans, Adams stuck to his unique style and raw talent.

He is known for making upbeat party music, and his latest release does not deviate from this triedand-true method.

However, this is not to say that “OK Cool” doesn’t

showcase Adams’ growth as an artist and producer.

In fact, many of the tracks on the new album feature an electronic sound.

One example is track 10, “Undefeated.”

The repetitive beat echoes throughout the song with a very electronic tone. At times the song is accented by an almost techno beat, and this is unlike anything fans have seen from the rapper in past albums.

Do not be mistaken, however, it is still definitely a hip-hop song at its core.

“All Night Longer” is the most advertised song on the tape and probably the most well-known so far, as

well.

The song is about Adams’ favorite pastime— partying.

Yet another upbeat song and one of the most partyoriented tracks, “All Night Longer” is more like the traditional Sammy Adams we all know and love.

It does have a little bit of an electronic feel, but the song is geared heavily toward being catchy and accessible.

Adams’ raps are broken up by the chorus, which repeats “I wanna go all night longer” — hence the track’s name.

Another standout track, “Just Me and My Vocals” has a different tone than most of the tape, with a

Sammy Adams’ new mixtape, ‘OK Cool,’ shows off a new side of the artist. slower beat but fast-paced lyrics.

As the title may suggest, this track is all about highlighting Adams’ skills

as a rapper; it is less about any kind of beat and more about the lines.

The beat seems to merely serve as background noise to the artist’s voice, and it is clear that Adams is comfortable and confident as a stand-alone rapper.

Overall, the latest from Sammy Adams is an amazing display of the talent and diversity this young, up-and-coming rapper has

fanart.tv

to offer.

“OK Cool” combines all of his skills in hip-hop, electronic and even pop music.

There are sure to be plenty more exciting releases for Sammy Adams fans in the future, so keep a look out for the latest and greatest from this Boston product. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Pink Martini releases Diller recording NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Music collective Pink Martini has released the last song Phyllis Diller recorded, Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile,” as a fitting tribute to her memory.

The voice of the late comedian is immediately recognizable on the recording, perhaps a little more wizened, but still strong and full of emotion.

Diller died Monday in Los Angeles at age 95. The song was recorded last February

by Pink Martini bandleader Thomas Lauderdale for the Portland, Ore., collective’s next album.

Lauderdale says he may add strings and a clarinet to the simple piano-and-voice recording before the album,

“Get Happy,” comes out next spring.

“But as it now stands I love it,” Lauderdale said. “I think it has a lot of heart. I think it represents her in a beautiful and comforting and lovely way, and respectful. And I guess I just feel entirely lucky and honored to have these brief moments with her. Everybody seems to have a Phyllis Diller, and I feel just lucky to have had a small moment with her.”

Lauderdale met Diller through a mutual friend while in Los Angeles for New Year’s Eve concerts.

“She had a great time,” Lauderdale said. “So it required no coaching at all from me. She did it all on her own.”

READY TO SHINE

Senior offensive lineman Jeff Braun will be one of the anchors of the West Virginia offensive line this season.

Braun, Mountaineer offensive line ready to make the jump in 2012

By Nick Arthur

Associate Sports Editor

The aura is much different on the offensive line for the West Virginia football team this fall camp.

A year ago, an injury to guard Josh Jenkins in the spring forced the Mountaineers to make some movements along the line.

Also, the right tackle starting position wasn’t determined until after fall camp concluded.

This fall, however, Jenkins is back, and every

starter on the line has game experience.

“It took a toll on us last season when we only had, like, seven guys to practice,” said West Virginia offensive guard Jeff Braun. “It’s good to have the numbers now to take some of the hits off our body in practice.”

Braun, a senior, is in his fifth season in Morgantown and feels this line has an advantage on all the others he has been a part of.

“It’s a lot more physical,” Braun said. “The one thing I’ve noticed about

Women’s soccer needs to find consistency robert kreis sports WRITER

Through the first two games of the young women’s soccer season, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers have certainly shown their youth.

But as seen in Friday’s game against La Salle, when veterans are not doing what they’re supposed to, the problems elevate.

“Our youth showed tonight, and unfortunately, our seniors broke down in the second half,” Izzo-Brown said after the 2-1 loss to La Salle in the team’s opening game. “Freshmen can make mistakes, but upperclassmen need to clean that up.”

Izzo-Brown is attempting to integrate five new starters into this year’s starting lineup that returns six members of last year’s Big East championship team. Of the five new faces, four are freshmen, and the other is North Carolina State transfer Kara Blosser.

While Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers are trying to find cohesiveness within the starting lineup, the Mountaineers have been forced to change the lineup throughout the first game.

Freshman forward Kelsie Maloney left the LaSalle game and ended up on crutches on the sideline.

The freshman phenomenon pulled her hamstring and is out for a minimum of two weeks, according to Sports Information Director Tim Goodenow.

And Blosser was given a red card for using foul language after the game. Blosser was forced to sit out the next game because of the red card.

With Blosser and Maloney out, Izzo-Brown added sophomore Jess Crowder and another freshman, Kailey Utley into the starting lineup. Utley

made the most of her first career start, scoring the game’s first goal and assisting on the game’s winning goal.

“How exciting for (Utley),” Izzo-Brown said. “You ask your forwards to create chances and finish chances, and Utley did both. As a freshman, what an exciting day for her.”

Utley’s play reminded some to draw comparisons between the Mountaineers’ leading scorer last season, recent graduate Blake Miller, but Izzo-Brown disagrees.

“No, no (Miller and Utley) are different,” said IzzoBrown. “There are some similarities, but both are goal scorers so that is a good mix right there.

“Blake is a little more technical than Utley; Utley is going to take you on one (versus) one and take care of things.”

The other three freshmen starters are made up of midfielder Amanda Hill and two members of Izzo-Brown’s staunch backline in Leah Emaus and Mia Gunter.

A backline that crippled 11 teams to shutouts last season is getting completely reworked. With team captain Bry McCarthy, a member of the Hermann Trophy watch list (the Heisman of college soccer), the only returning starter from last year’s line and two freshmen joining her, Izzo-Brown named senior Mallory Smith the final starter. Smith started in the midfield last season.

Izzo-Brown is hoping the two seniors will help ease the transition into Division-I soccer for the freshmen, and after games like the home opener, she will not be afraid to call out those who are supposed to be leading the way.

“Unfortunately the mistakes (the) freshmen were making (against LaSalle) got exposed even worse because our seniors did not get it done,” Izzo-Brown said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

this camp is offensively and defensively we’ve bonded a lot more than we ever have before.

“We try to instill that physicality in the younger guys, and we’re seeing that with them now.”

Impressive performances by two freshmen in preseason camp led to some competition for the returning starters.

And Braun sees this as a good thing.

“It all boils down to pressure. Pressure makes diamonds,” he said. “When

you have someone behind you pushing you, you’re going to heat up a little bit under your feet. And you’re going to want to get better. It’s going to make you a better player.”

For the Westminster, Md., native, though, his starting position was never in jeopardy.

But, he was still invested in improving in fall camp.

“I’m just trying to get better and really have fun with it,” Braun said. “You never know when it’s going to be your last play or the last

time you play football. This could be the last time, so I just want to enjoy it.”

Last season was Braun’s first with offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh.

But he admits it didn’t take time for the two to establish a relationship.

“I love Coach Bedenbaugh. He’s the type of guy that if you have a problem, you can go right in his office and talk to him about it,” Braun said. “At the same time, he wants you to be as close to perfect as you can.

He expects perfection.

“Coach Bedenbaugh was able to bring out a nastiness in me that I hadn’t seen before.”

The O-line, as a unit, the guidance of Bedenbaugh has allowed it to be prepped for a big season in 2012.

“Now, it’s just everyone is working to refine the little thing,” Braun said. “Everyone has game experience.

We just have to worry about the little things to get better.

And I think we’ve done that this fall.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

QUESTIONABLE CALLS Which West Virginia football player will surprise fans the most in 2012?

by michael carvelli sports editor

BY cody schuler

by doug walp

A lot of head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offenses have been well-known for the prolific passing attacks that they have featured. Obviously, everyone knows about players like Michael Crabtree, Justin Blackmon and Wes Welker from their days in the offense before moving onto the NFL. But the “Air Raid” offense has always been able to succeed when it has consistent allpurpose running backs like Kendall Hunter and Bryce Beall.

And that’s why West Virginia running back Shawne Alston will be so important and has the potential to surprise a lot of people this season.

The senior made a big leap in 2011, scoring the first 12 touchdowns of his career.

He entered fall camp completely healthy for the first time since suffering a neck injury that held him out until WVU’s game against Maryland last season.

Running backs coach Robert Gillespie has complimented Alston’s progress since the spring about his leadership, and he mentioned at the end of camp that he’s pretty far ahead of the other backs on the depth chart.

With the high-powered passing attack, the Mountaineers need a good running back to turn to, and he could very well be the guy to take a lot of carries in 2012.

With many new freshmen ready to make an impact for the West Virginia football team in 2012, it would be only fitting for one of the youngsters to be my surprise player this season.

But, I’m going to go with an experienced senior to make a surprise impact for the Mountaineers. Senior cornerback Pat Miller has shown glimpses of success in his previous three seasons in the gold and blue.

He had a crucial interception return for a touchdown against South Florida in 2011 to help seal a Big East Conference Championship. He has also had moments that have left West Virginia fans scratching their heads, such as allowing two long touchdown passes against Maryland in 2010.

Miller is a new and improved player this season, though.

According to defensive backs coach Daron Roberts, Miller has embraced his role as a senior leader and is set for a breakout season.

With multiple freshmen defensive backs in fall camp, it was essential for Miller to do exactly that.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen stated that the Big 12 Conference offenses will throw looks at the West Virginia cornerbacks that they hadn’t come close to seeing in the Big East. Thankfully for Mountaineer fans, Miller is up to the challenge.

The oft-repeated mantra of “practice makes perfect” might be more true for redshirt junior defensive back Brodrick Jenkins than any other player in the Big 12.

The Fort Myers, Fla., native practices against one of the most explosive and talented offenses in the country on a daily basis. Covering the caliber of receivers that the West Virginia offense boasts is the ultimate preparation for the pass-heavy schemes that loom overhead in the Big 12.

This is the year that I think Jenkins will make the leap from a team-leader to a conference-leader. Last season, Jenkins played in all 13 games but only started four, yet he was second on the team in passes defended.

With the experience and momentum Jenkins has coming into this season, he should be able to get off to a fast start against a favorable, non-conference portion of the schedule and position himself wonderfully heading into conference play.

Jenkins is a pass defending specialist with great speed and hands. He isn’t the strongest defensive back on the team, but he possesses the tackling savvy and coordination to make up for it.

With a team hyped by its offensive prowess, Jenkins stands behind the scenes, getting better with each practice, which is why he will surprise Mountaineer fans and Big 12 offenses this year.

West Virginia University’s recently released football depth chart is a great representation of the fact that a lot freshmen are going to play critical roles in the team’s success during their inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference.

The extent of those contributions is still debatable at this point, but one player who looks to be in prime position to not only surprise, but captivate Mountaineers’ fans, is true freshman wide receiver Jordan Thompson.

Throughout the spring and fall preseason camps, Thompson has already begun to capture the attention of the media, but by the end of Sept. 1, Mountaineer fans everywhere will be aware of the dynamic-playmaking ability from the Katy, Texas, native.

Thompson has already cracked the starting lineup at receiver as a true freshman, and his playmaking ability in the open field, similar to teammate Tavon Austin’s, will have Mountaineer fans around the country on the edge of their seats on Saturdays.

And with his aforementioned teammates Austin and Bailey both named to the nation’s preseason Biletnikoff watch list as two of the nation’s most productive receivers, it’s safe to say that Thompson will consistently benefit from lining up against the opposing team’s third- or fourth-best defensive back on nearly every snap he plays.

West virginia position previews: offensive line

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh works with two offensive linemen during fall camp. The West Virginia offensive line returns five players with starting experience. The five starting linemen have started a combined 101 games in their careers.

WVU features experience at all positions by greg madia multimedia editor

West Virginia’s big-time playmakers Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey - get plenty of attention.

But it’s the five offensive linemen that enable Smith and company to be successful and will be the driving force behind head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense.

“That’s the nature of football; you win and lose up front,” said offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. “I don’t think they’ve had that attitude in the past.

You have to instill that attitude, and now they’re the leaders of this team.”

The offensive line essentially returns five starters, including three seasoned vets, creating an excellent guard-center-guard combo. With those three, the group was able to be the most efficient unit during fall camp.

“With the O-line, you knew what you were getting with (Joey) Madsen, (Jeff ) Braun and (Josh) Jenkins. Those guys have played a lot of football around here and solidified the inside,” Holgorsen said. “I feel good about the O-line.”

Left tackle Quinton Spain, at 6-foot5, 334 pounds, has finally matured into starter material. Having played in 13 games last season in a reserve role, Spain has limited experience. Protecting Geno Smith’s blindside will be his top job. Spain will be tested throughout the season against top defensive ends like

TCU’s Stansly Maponga and Texas’ Alex Okafor and Jackson Jeffcoat.

Next to Spain at left guard, is Josh Jenkins. The redshirt senior returns after missing the entire 2011 season with a knee injury that he suffered during the 2011 spring game. Jenkins, who has had knee problems in his career, will add a level of comfort. He was all Big-East performer in 2010.

The anchor of the group is center, Joe Madsen. Named to the Rimington Trophy watch list in the preseason, Madsen is expected to have a huge senior season.

He is team’s leader in career starts with 38 starts. He’s the guy who brings everything together for this group.

Right guard Jeff Braun has been the one in this group to have improved the most. Braun slid back into his comfort zone as he moved from left guard to right guard. Now that Braun is comfortable, he can have an even better year than he did 2011. Braun only allowed one sack last year, and now that he is back in his natural position, he should be able to flourish.

Finally, at right tackle, Pat Eger returns. The 6-foot-6, 301-pound Eger has a good wingspan. According to Dana Holgorsen and Bill Bedenbaugh, Pat Eger is much improved. Eger had games where he played well and others where he struggled. The team is just looking for that consistency.

This is a group that takes pride in togetherness. Braun feels that the cohe-

siveness of this unit couldn’t be any better, and because of that the offensive line could carry this team.

“I look at Joey (Madsen) and Josh (Jenkins) and say everyone has to lean on us. When things get down, we got to be able to pick things up and get it going,” Braun said.

This group seems like they have that attitude change. They care. The starters are five strong. There are no weak holes in the starting five.

Beyond that, guys like Nick Kindler and Curtis Feigt are viable backups. If anything bad were to happen with the starting five, Bedenbaugh wouldn’t feel hesitant about putting either Kindler or Feigt in.

“You’d like to have ten guys that can play, two left tackles, two left guards, two centers, two right guards, two right tackles, but very rarely are you going to get that,” Bedenbaugh said. “I feel good right now, if we got in a situation, if we had to move Pat (Eger) and Spain down to guard and being able to insert Feigt and Kindler to tackle we could.”

The unit is developed and has depth.

The offense live has a great comfort level with one another. From right to left everyone knows that in order to succeed they will all have to play well together.

“Us being that band of brothers, just the comfort level we have on the field is nice,” Madsen said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia forward Andy Bevin led the Mountaineers with seven goals as a freshman. Bevin was named the Big East Conference Rookie of the Year.

Bevin using time in New Zealand to help in 2012 by amit batra sports writer

Sophomore forward Andy Bevin is accustomed to scoring goals.

A New Zealand native, Bevin emerged as one of the top freshmen in the nation a season ago when he showed West Virginia fans and the rest of the Big East Conference that he had a knack for finding the back of the net.

His team-leading seven goals helped him earn Big East Rookie of the Year honors as well as a spot on third team all-Big East.

“Andy’s a goal scorer,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “He knows how to do it.

We have more pieces around him to make him a better player, and we have more pieces around him that he will make other people better players.”

Bevin is always a threat to score.

In five different matches, the sophomore had four or more shots. He was able to score two goals apiece in victories over Richmond and Binghamton last season.

While also scoring against Maryland, Cincinnati and Seton Hall, Bevin registered assists in games against South Florida and Richmond as well. He’s a complete player.

Bevin spent the summer playing with APIA Leichhardt in the NSW Premier League in Australia. In his time playing for them, Bevin scored seven of the team’s 19 goals, leading the team.

“The competition is strong over there,” Bevin said. “I’ve learned a lot, so I think I’ll come back a better player this time.”

Bevin has come a long way since his childhood. He has just turned 20, but he’s been competing at a national level for quite some time.

“I’m pushing myself against the top young boys in New Zealand and across the world,” Bevin said.

The most important thing the sophomore forward learned from his time back home over the summer is how important it is to show professionalism and go to the pitch every day ready to go to work.

“Day in and day out, you can’t slack off,” he said. “You have to go 100 percent in training, or you’re not going to see game time.”

The New Zealand team Bevin was aiming to earn a spot played to one draw and two losses in the Olympics.

He hopes to be able to be a part of the national team in the future.

However, at one point, it seemed as if Bevin’s future at WVU would remain in question this summer, as he had to decide if he wanted to play and study at West Virginia or play full-time with the New Zealand national squad.

As the Mountaineers enter the Mid-American Conference, Bevin understands that winning the out-of-conference games will be just as important as doing well against an in-conference powerhouse such as Akron.

“It doesn’t have the prestige that the Big East had, but hopefully we can improve in those out-of-conference games and have a good record,” he said. “The best thing about this year is more competition for places.”

Last year Bevin’s comfort zone was not as high, as a freshman coming to an unfamiliar territory, so to speak.

“It’s a lot more comfortable coming to a place you’re familiar with,” Bevin said. “It’s not a world of unknowns as it was last year.”

With a year of experience under his belt at WVU, Bevin will be more of a vocal leader to the younger guys on the team. With about 12 freshmen on the squad, the sophomore should be able to be a key leader on and off the field. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
