Lecture talks smoking cessation

By Ashley Tennant Staff Writer

For many, the commitment to quit smoking can be a difficult one to maintain.

Craig Dearfield believes a smoker’s social relations play a pivotal role in their efforts to quit.

Dearfield, doctoral student at Howard University and a research associate at AFYA, Inc., based in Laurel, MD.,

presented at the first Social Science Café Tuesday.

The presentation was open to the public and followed with a discussion afterward.

Dearfield’s lecture entitled “Who Quits Smoking?

Social Relations and Community Health” discussed his research and his recently designed program evaluation of the DC Tobacco Free Families Campaign.

“Essentially, my expected outcome is that people who have more social support to change their behavior are going to overcome the built in environmental factors that are generally accepted as affecting area prevalence instead of individual behaviors.

So, although it’s not super revolutionary, our cessation and prevention programs work and help individuals quit smoking,” Dearfield said.

Dearfield said he found the most important factors to consider while quitting smoking are having a strong support system as well as the willingness to change behaviors associated with smoking.

“Social support for changing your tobacco behavior for following through with this rather difficult behavior change is necessary,” he said.

Rachel Stein, Assistant Professor of Sociology and

Anthropology at West Virginia University, attended the event and not only agreed with Dearfield but also has personal experience with quitting smoking.

“I thought the lecture was interesting because I smoked for about 13 or 14 years, and I had a really good support system, which like Dearfield said, is extremely important.

I quit after going to my primary care physician because

WVU athletes ‘Speak Out’ about life lessons, experiences by michael carvelli sports editor

In a room full of coaches, teammates and administrators, a group of six West Virginia student-athletes gave speeches based on their lives and experiences in the Jerry West Mountaineer Room at the Coliseum Tuesday.

Part of a program called “Student-Athletes Speak Out,” Tuesday’s event was one of the final projects for the athletes in their speech pathology and audiology course taught by Carolyn Atkins. Atkins has been teaching the course for WVU student-athletes since 1990.

“It’s great to see them progress throughout the semester,” Atkins said. “When we first tell them that they’re going to be speaking for all these people, they’re not typically happy about it. But they get it, and they rise to the occasion, and they get a lot of great feedback.”

Among the athletes speaking Tuesday were men’s basketball freshmen Eron Harris and Terry Henderson, junior cornerback Brodrick Jenkins from the football team and Caroline Szwed, Mallory Smith and Annalika Steyn from the women’s soccer team.

Harris was the first to speak, followed by Smith whose speech, titled “Dreams with Deadlines,” centered around believing in oneself in order to accomplish one’s goals.

In her speech, Smith talked about the role WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has played in making her better on and off the field.

“I remember running on the track one day. It was the first day of preseason (when she was a freshman). It was a two-mile run that we had to finish in 14 minutes, and I was on my last 200 meters,” Smith said. “I wasn’t sure that I was going to make it. Then all of a sudden, I see Coach (Izzo-Brown) flying out of nowhere across the track and literally start to chase me. She didn’t want me to fail.

“I learned that I had a coach who believed in me; therefore I needed to believe in myself.”

Jenkins and Szwed closed with two of the more emotional speeches of the day.

In his speech, “A Way Out,” Jenkins talked about how football gave him an outlet to stay away from drugs and violence he experienced growing up in his hometown of

Each year there are more than 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and nearly half of these occur in individuals under the age of 25.

“By the age of 25, one in two individuals will have acquired a sexually transmitted disease,” said physician’s assistant Ken Jabbour.

Although these may be scary statistics for some, West Virginia University is doing its best to help students be properly educated and receive proper care.

Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health will offer free and confidential STD, hepatitis, and rapid HIV testing.

The screenings will be offered at the First Presbyterian Church located on Spruce Street.

This event is a combined effort between WELLWVU and the Monongalia County Health Department.

Cindy Graham, a Monongalia County nurse who will be working the event, said she urges students to come and be tested.

“Students should come get tested because some infections don’t have symptoms,” she said. “You could be infected and have no idea.”

Specimens will be sent to the state lab and results should be returned within 10 days. She said HIV test results are faster and should yield results in about 20 minutes.

Doctors and other health professionals with WVU agree getting tested is especially important for college students.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends routine testing for all sexually active men and women under the age of 25.

“Many infections and diseases show no outwardly symptoms, and they can cause significant problems,” Jabbour said.

WVU students have access to several means of getting tested on campus.

There will be another screening event Nov. 14 in the Mountainlair.

Throughout the year events will be held at the Student Recreation Center, as well.

Students may also receive testing from the Student Health Center, which is usually cheaper than the student’s primary health care provider or an urgent care facility, Jabbour said.

During the 2008 presidential election, young voters flocked to the polls to vote; however, studies have shown this upcoming election doesn’t look as promising.

While there may be a decrease in young voters, women seem to be taking a stand this campaign season.

West Virginia University criminology student Mick Snyder said he believes ties to a specific political party may skew the voter outcome.

“I think that people view politics through the bias of their own party.

This shapes the way people observe current events, and a lot of people only vote within their party,” Snyder said.

WVU accounting student Josh Feeser said he believes ignorance and inconvenience play a pivotal role.

“I knew I had to do something to vote out of state. I was just unaware of how to go about doing it.

By the time I looked into getting an absentee ballot, it was too late,” he said.

Apple’s iPad Mini much pricier than rival tablets SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc.’s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost much more than its competitors, signaling that the company isn’t going to get into a mini-tablet price war.

The company unveiled the iPad Mini on Tuesday, with a screen about twothirds the size of the full model, and half the weight.

Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday.

In a surprise, Apple also revamped its flagship, fullsized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model.

Apple’s late founder Steve Jobs once ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as

a “tweener” that was too big and too small to compete with either smartphones or tablets. Now Apple’s own Mini enters a growing smalltablet market dominated by Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle Fire.

Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini — a price that fits into the Apple product lineup between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had been expecting Apple to price the iPad Mini at $250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire, which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.’s Nook HD and Google Inc.’s Nexus 7 both start at $199.

“Apple had an opportunity to step on the throat of Amazon and Google, yet decided to rely on its brand and focus on (profit) margin,” said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage Edward Jones.

Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to close at $613.36 after the price was announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped 88 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $15.32. Shares of Amazon rose 53 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $234.31.

Apple has sold more than 100 million iPads since their debut in April 2010. Analysts expect Apple to sell 5 million to 10 million iPad Minis before the year is out.

WVU BOG approves motion to purchase Sunnyside property The West Virginia University Board of Governors unanimously approved the motion to purchase 39 parcels of land in the Sunnyside neighborhood during a special meeting Tuesday.

WVU political science professor Patrick Hickey said the female vote will have a significant impact on this year’s election.

In 2008, 13 percent more women voted Democrat, according to the FOX News report.

However, Republican committee member Grace Ejiba said she is not convinced that this year will regard the same outcome.

“Because of my beliefs, I lean more toward the right than I do left,” she said. “I think this is how the election will play out.”

Continued from page 1 changes. I used to have routines, like after I would teach, I would smoke, so I started changing the way I walked back to my office. Instead of smoke breaks, I started taking Pilates breaks. Basically, I began replacing all the things I associated with smoking with healthier habits. Those are things I talked to my doctor about because I would have never thought of them otherwise,” she said.

Dearfield also said the tobacco industry intentionally targets youth in an attempt to get future consumers for their products, and he discussed it as a contributing factor to the issue.

“If you go to a tobacco retailer or a convenience store that sells tobacco, a lot of the advertising is at eye level for about a 9 year old, so they are conditioning children to identify brands for cigarettes.

So, you have this tension between those forces and the general, ‘we all kind of accept that smoking is bad for

us because of many number of reasons such as the tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine addiction,’” he said.

“One of the main points of my research is how to get people to use tobacco cessation and prevention services, and supplementary to that is how do you reduce the time between quit attempts so you can move people through that sequence as quickly as possible.”

Dearfield said he has found in his research that attending a counseling session or social support session or calling a quit line is extremely beneficial to helping people change their health behaviors.

Dearfield said the process, which can take an average of six weeks, is difficult, so asking for help is crucial.

“You embody all of these different factors, and you can’t just look at one individual factor in isolation; you have to consider the interaction between structure and the individual decisions and resources. So, basically you have your individual willingness to quit, and then

there are several factors that act upon that decision and whether or not a person can actually follow through,” he said.

Dearfield said many other health-related issues have clear-cut solutions and alternatives; however, he believes smoking does not.

“We all kind of have heard that we need to eat better and exercise more, but I think one of the main problems is that the systems aren’t necessarily operationalized very well, and if they are operational, they aren’t necessarily operationalized for your individual sets of circumstances, so seeking help is essential, whether it’s going out and seeking care from a physician or joining a tobacco prevention program,” Dearfield said.

“When I find myself going through tough times, I hear my dad – the most inspirational person in my life – saying, ‘The harder it is now, the easier it is later,” Szwed said. “And I begin to think about what he’s overcome. I know that because of him and what he was able to achieve, impossible really

In addition to Tuesday’s speech, the student-athletes have gone around Morgantown to local schools, sharing their stories with students at Morgantown High School and South Middle School.

This gives the students a great opportunity to share their stories with kids who might be dealing with similar struggles in their lives.

But it also lets the athletes find out that, although they play different sports and came from different backgrounds, they are all alike and have had to face some hard times in order to find success.

Henderson, who spoke about a family friend who was diagnosed with HIV and how he allowed it to lead him further down a dangerous path with drugs, said he related to Jenkins’ story.

“At a certain age, you realize that you’re not going to always have your family there for you, and that’s when I took it upon myself to do other things differently than my friends were,” Henderson said. “I knew that they were doing the wrong stuff, and I couldn’t be a part of that.

Bye week a busy time for West Virginia by cody schuler managing editor

Though there are many things West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen hopes for his team to accomplish during the Mountaineers’ bye week, there is one primary request he has for his team: to grow up.

“Aside from the fact that we would like our 20 freshmen to be seniors, we need to, from a mentality standpoint, grow up. We can’t use the excuse of not having enough snaps,” he said.

“We have to grow and play older than we are. We need the older guys to act older. We need the older guys to bring along the younger kids. We need them to be tough when adversity hits.”

Holgorsen referenced Kansas State, a team that walloped West Virginia 5514 last week, as an ideal example of what his team

should be aiming for.

“We played a team (Kansas State) that has that mastered. They are the most mature team in college football,” he said.

“They are mentally tough, and their technique is not lost during the heat of the battle. We can learn a lot from playing a team like that. I have a lot of respect for how they run their program.”

Holgorsen echoed his sentiment from his postgame comments Saturday in saying the coaching staff feels good about the defensive schemes but not the execution it’s seeing.

“We mix things up, but it ultimately comes down to execution. You guys saw where a couple of times the ball was in the air and we had a guy there. They made the plays,” he said.

“Defensively, we need to do a better job of getting in the right plays. We are put-

bling around, then we will not play him. I haven’t even thought about the redshirt thing. If he can play and help us win, then he will play,” he said.

As most teams do, West Virginia will utilize the off weekend to spend some time recruiting – something Holgorsen said is a primary focus.

“We will focus on recruiting this week. We’ve had four coaches out this week (and) we will have all of our coaches out this Friday and Saturday. We’ll try and find some guys that want to be Mountaineers,” he said.

Schematically, the Mountaineers will not begin preparing specifically for TCU until next week; however, Holgorsen said he still has plenty he wants to work on in practice this week – starting with fundamentals.

“When you play as many young kids as we are, the first thing that is going to go

ting you in a position to be successful,” he said.

“Now the player has to take over, but as coaches we have something to do with that, too. We have to do our best as coaches, and they have to make the play.”

Senior running back Shawne Alston once again did not play in the Kansas State game; Holgorsen said he hopes to put Alston in practices, and the team will reevaluate his status as the TCU game draws nearer.

“We are going to see if he can practice. We are not going to dress him out and say that we hope he can play. He is going to have to practice,” he said.

“We want to get him to practice, so he can play in a game; it has been that way for a month. This week we are going to practice him and try to incorporate him.

If it looks good, then we will play him.

WVU to host No. 14 Kansas State by austin seidel sports writer

The West Virginia volleyball team returns home tonight to face No. 14 Kansas State in the W Coliseum.

The Mountaineers are currently on an eight-game slide and have yet to win against a Big 12 Conference opponent, but they’re not intimidated by a tough Wildcat team.

“They’re hungry,” said West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer. “They want it badly right now. They want to end this and get a win.”

The Mountaineers are now entering the second half of Big 12 play and will get the opportunity to settle a few scores established in the first half, in which they were 0-8 against conference opponents.

Kansas State will bring its 18-3 record and senior middle blocker Alex Muff, who comes off a stellar performance in which she recorded 17 kills and hit for a .593 hit percentage.

Muff will be one of many challenges for the Mountaineers, as they have struggled defensively for the past few games.

“We have had some tough middle blockers to go against the past few games,” Kramer said. “Caleah (Wells) has had her work cut out for her against these teams. Kansas State

is tough, but we now know how they play. The second half is a completely different set of games.”

Kramer has done well to change things up for the Mountaineers for their second swing at conference play, including a positional swap between junior Arielle Allen and freshman Nikki Attea. Attea has played the rightside position for the majority of the season and will now move to the outside once again as Kramer shifts Allen over to the right side of the court.

“Nikki (Attea) has done a great job all season,” Kramer said. “She’s played both outside and right side before so she knows what she is doing. Arielle (Allen) brings a different set of skills to the right side. She’s a great defender.”

Attea has averaged 2.41 kills per set in conference play and a move to the outside may very well improve those numbers as she sits in second on the team in overall kills with 194.

Allen will definitely provide a defensive boost on the right side, as she holds a two-digs-per set average during the course of the season and will also see a boost with her move to the right side position.

In recent games, the Mountaineers have struggled at the net, averaging just 4.3 blocks per game need more than some quick fixes to take down these talented opponents, but if history has shown us anything in the last few years, adversity has been one of the Mountaineers’ biggest motivators.

And with two of the worst losses in recent memory in West Virginia’s last two games, expect the sliding Mountaineers to be as motivated as possible and play with a chip on their shoulders as they try to salvage what began as one of the most anticipated seasons of football in school history. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The No. 19 West Virginia women’s soccer team became the first program in school history to earn a Big 12 Conference championship this weekend. The Mountaineers defeated Oklahoma 2-0 Thursday night at home to improve to 6-0-1 in conference play, but had to wait for the result of the Baylor vs. Texas match Friday night. And after the Bears held off the Longhorns in double overtime, WVU clinched the Big 12 regular season title, regardless of its performance in Texas this Friday in its regular season finale.

West Virginia won the Big East Conference championship in 2010 and 2011, its final two years in the conference.

The Mountaineers are also 25-1-1 in their last 27 regular season conference games.

After the win against the Sooners, the Mountaineers clinched their third consecutive undefeated season at home and haven’t lost a home game since November 2009.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown is in her 17th season at the helm and has never posted a losing season.

Izzo-Brown and her team haven’t lost a match this season since August and will take a 12-match unbeaten streak to Austin, Texas, before competing in the Big 12 tournament next week.

Sunnyside purchase step forward Tuesday, the West Virginia University Board of Governors approved the purchase of 39 properties in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Morgantown.

These properties are located on University Avenue, Grant Avenue, Jones Avenue, Quay Street, Third Street, Houston Avenue, Overhill Street, Highland Avenue and Wellen Avenue and were purchased for almost $15 million.

The proposal has been

submitted to the West Virginia Legislature’s Joint Committee on Government and Finance.

According to University officials, this purchase was made as part of WVU’s continued efforts to fulfill the 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future. It is likely these properties will be used, at least in part, to provide more housing options for students.

Considering the University’s student body is

consistently growing on a yearly basis, there is an obvious need for expanding on-campus housing options. Thus it is good to see the University taking this step to continue progressing toward providing students with a safe, welcoming environment throughout their time at WVU. Other steps, also in line with the University’s 2020 goals, have signaled progress for the University, including the

recent groundbreaking of the new Student Health facility and the recent decision to ban tobacco use on campus starting July of 2013.

Of course, Sunnyside’s recent history is also worth considering here.

As one of the hotbeds for out-of-control student behavior, Sunnyside has long been the subject of various proposals seeking to revitalize it.

Maybe with the Univer-

sity moving in and potentially establishing a prominent existence in the neighborhood, these efforts will finally produce positive results.

Either way, this purchase stands as another testament to President James P. Clements’ and the WVU BOG’s desire to move our University forward, and for that, they deserve to be applauded.

Romney’s rhetoric fizzles in third and final debate

AP

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney exchange views during the second presidential debate at Hofstra University Tuesday

kirk auvil correspondent

By now, we’ve all heard the salient points from Monday night’s presidential debate reduced to a few quotes and easily parroted catchphrases, some of which are more entertaining than others.

Obama’s“horses and bayonets” remark, while certainly cheeky, was a clever and instructive rejoinder to Romney’s insistence on further inflating the defense budget.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney showed he didn’t know Iran borders the Persian Gulf, in his very own Palin moment.

But for those who watched the debates for something other than zingers, a peculiar pattern

emerged. Mitt Romney simply couldn’t stop himself from agreeing with the president.

Perhaps it’s because his own laughable attempt at a foreign tour was a failure on many levels, or perhaps it’s because the only knowledge Romney has of foreign policy is from a missionary’s perspective.

With the third presidential debate focusing on foreign policy, one can understand how the topic might give Romney pause.

And give him pause it did. Romney has attempted to inscrutably secondguess Obama’s foreign policy stances in the past, as Romney said he would do the things that Obama has done, but do them better.

In their previous debates, Romney had stated he would have supported Syrian resistance fighters directly and unilaterally, yet

he was unable to explain precisely how this would have benefitted Syrians in any way. If Romney is going to play Monday morning quarterback, he should at least have the savvy to actually propose a better alternative in hindsight.

But for some unknown reason, Romney blundered forward with his attempts to establish a unique position on Syria, with disappointing results. He wants us to bring out the big guns and step up our efforts to arm Syrian dissidents. But at the same time, he opposes further military action in the Middle East, even to the degree that he would oppose the U.S. participating in enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria.

So, in essence he wants to give Syrians the car keys and the keys to the liquor cabinet, then head out of town for a few days. He’s

essentially criticizing the president for failing to pour gas on the fire.

Obama was seemingly pleased by Romney’s remarks. Realizing that Romney’s statements during the debate were in line with his previous hawkish comments, Obama characterized his opponent’s plans as silly.

“There have been times, Governor, frankly, during the course of this campaign, where it sounded like you thought that you’d do the same things we did, but you’d say them louder and somehow that would make a difference,”the president said.

Some notable Republican personalities weighed in on the debate via Twitter.

Glenn Beck, the infamous former FOX News personality, tweeted “I am glad to know that Mitt agrees with Obama so much. No, really.

Why vote?”

Conservative harpy Ann Coulter was pleased to add her two cents, tweeting “I highly approve of Romney’s decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.” To clarify, when Coulter says retard, she means the President of the United States.

She added in a later tweet, “If he’s the ‘smartest guy in the room,’ it must be one retarded room.”

Some pundits were quick to dismiss Obama’s debate performance as rudeness. He made some remarks, such as the widely reported “horses and bayonets” remark, which some in the media characterize as flippant or dismissive.

Problematically, these detractors are engaging in the same type of argument that Romney often uses. They attack the form of an argument without refuting the substance. Certainly, FOX

News is often able to find some study from the Heritage Foundation that seemingly contradicts one of the president’s claims, or they put some would-be expert on the air who vainly scrabbles at the unassailable walls of fact surrounding the president’s arguments.

Unfortunately, as Stephen Colbert once said, “Reality has a well-known liberal bias.”

In ignoring what Obama said to attack how he said it, just as they did with Biden’s debate performance, conservative pundits are doing their own side a disservice.

If Obama’s ideas are so horrible that he is as Sean Hannity says, “the worst president in American history,” then why do they engage in name calling and shy away from deconstructing his arguments in a substantive manner?

Before sitting under the needle, think through that tattoo irene drage Oregon state University

Back when I was a freshman – long ago, at a university far, far away – I got the only tattoo I’ve ever regretted.

Breaking up with a tattoo is harder, and more expensive, than dumping a live-in significant other. Your options are basically either a coverup tattoo or laser removal – or some combination of both.

Your best bet is not getting a tattoo you’re going to regret in the first place.

I’m not arguing against tattoos; that would be astoundingly hypocritical of me. I’m not covered, but I have a few, one of which is a sleeve – in-

DA

cidentally, one covering the aforementioned regretted tattoo. If you want a tattoo, go for it.

Before you do, though, don’t just choose a design because it’s pretty or trendy.

This ink is going to be with you for the rest of your life. Let me repeat that so it sinks in: the rest of your life — there’s a lot of dude-bros out there regretting their tribal armbands 10 years later. If you’re going into this planning to have the tattoo removed at a later date, you should save some money and go get a temporary transfer from the quarter machines or just draw on yourself with a Sharpie.

Also, keep in mind that you’re in college, presumably to earn a degree to qual-

ify for a specific career. In other words, if you want to teach fifth graders, don’t get a neck tattoo.

Your design should do more than look totally awesome – though it should obviously do that as well. It needs to mean something.

It doesn’t need to mark an epiphany, but it should mean more to you than just your first tattoo. And for goodness’ sake, don’t get your significant other’s name tattooed on your body. Just, no. In all my years as a tattoo junkie I have never met anyone with their special someone’s name on them who was still with that special someone. A rule of thumb for names is: they should only be your children’s or a dead person’s.

To get your perfect design, you need to collaborate with your artist. Tell them what you want and bring them reference pictures, and they’ll sketch up something for you.

Tell them what you do and don’t like about that sketch, and they’ll draw you up another one. Repeat the process until there’s nothing you don’t like about the design.

Don’t settle on this. Remember: the rest of your life.

The process of working with the artist in designing your ink is also a good way to make sure you don’t annoy the crap out of each other.

You’re going to be trapped under their needle for what might be hours; being able to tolerate each other will be a good thing.

Please don’t just pick the nearest tattoo parlor and the artist who’s free when you wander in off the street.

Shop around. The artists will have portfolios of their work on display in their shop.

Leaf through their books until you find someone whose style speaks to you, amazes you and makes you want to look at it every day for the rest of your life. This is a big decision. My artist is three hours away, because what she does with color is amazing. For me, that’s worth the drive.

Tattoos hurt. Anyone who told you otherwise was either lying or drunk. A reputable artist will never tattoo anyone they know to be under the influence, and not only because they’ll lose their license. If it’s

not worth the pain, don’t get a tattoo; it’s as simple as that.

If you absolutely have to look like a d-bag, try the transfers and Sharpie route, or I hear they have fabric “tattoo sleeves” at Spencer’s. Keep in mind that anywhere the skin is thin, or the bones are close to the surface, is gonna hurt like a mother. I don’t recommend one of those areas for your first, but I’m not the boss of you, so do what you want.

If you have any questions, ask your artist! They’re your number one resource — utilize them.

If after reading this you still get an ironic – or stupid –tattoo, your pain when it’s getting lasered off or covered up will be my sweet, sweet revenge.

BLAME GAME

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Senior quarterback Geno Smith threw for 143 yards and a touchdown in West Virginia’s 55-14 loss to Kansas State. Since he became the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback as a sophomore, Smith has only had two games where he finished with fewer passing yards.

Smith puts blame on himself for West Virginia’s loss to Kansas State by michael carvelli sports editor

For the second week in a row, the prolific West Virginia offense struggled to get momentum going, and the Mountaineers found themselves behind early before falling to Kansas State 55-14.

The offense that looked unstoppable for the first five games of the year has struggled in the Mountaineers’ two losses, as they scored just 21 points on its last 23 drives.

One of the players who has struggled the most the last few weeks is senior quarterback Geno Smith.

After throwing for 24 touchdowns and no interceptions through the first five games, he’s thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions in WVU’s losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State.

“We didn’t get into a rhythm,” Smith said. “We have to do a better job of staying on the field and putting ourselves in better and more manageable downs.

I take full responsibility for that because the ball is in my hands on every play.”

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said this week the senior shoudn’t be so quick to blame himself;

“

“He needs to relax a bit and not bear that burden. We are going to get him back on track.”

Dana Holgorsen WVU head coach

”

It was a team effort that led to the Mountaineers’ loss to Kansas State.

“He cares more than anybody,” Holgorsen said. “This doesn’t fall on his shoulders.

This falls on all our shoulders – all of our coaches and all of our players. He is only one piece to everything.

“He needs to relax a bit and not bear that burden.

We are going to get him back on track.”

This is the first time since his first year as West Virginia’s starting quarterback that Smith has lost back-to-back games. In losses to Syracuse and Connecticut as a sophomore, the Mountaineers lost by a combined eight points.

But against the Red Raiders and Wildcats, WVU has been outscored by 76 points.

“This is one of those things where we have reached our low. This is as low as it gets,” Smith said. “I have never dealt with an adversity of this magnitude. I have never lost two games in this manner.

“I have to do a better job of being a leader, stepping up and getting guys to respond … I have to look myself in the mirror and just figure out ways to get better.”

Saturday’s loss was, statistically, one of the worst of Smith’s career.

The senior finished 21 of 32 for 143 yards and a

touchdown with his first two interceptions since WVU’s win against South Florida in December 2011.

There have only been two games during the Miami native’s time as West Virginia’s starter when he threw for fewer yards than he did against the Wildcats.

“There are a number of things that went wrong, but I am not going to sit here and point fingers at anyone else.

I’m the leader of this team, and I’m the leader of this offense,” Smith said.

Seeing what the offense had the ability to do in the first five games of the season made it even more frustrating for Smith. Holgorsen said he could see his quarterback and the rest of the Mountaineer offense pressing to put points up on the board faster as Kansas State’s lead grew throughout the game.

“He was, and we all were,” Holgorsen said. “You have the ball a couple times, and you look up there, and

WVU must salvage season quickly After two consecutive losses by a combined 76 points, the West Virginia Mountaineers’ season is indeed in turmoil, but it’s certainly not over yet.

The Mountaineers’ have undoubtedly faltered and fallen flat in their last two Big 12 conference matchups, but don’t expect the team to completely go away down the stretch, despite its notoriously beleaguered defense and the recent plights of its normally efficient offense, which has recorded season lows in two consecutive games.

Yes, a national championship is virtually out of reach at this point, and with the way “Optimus Klein” and Kansas State are playing, a conference championship for the Mountaineers in their inaugural season in the Big 12 could be just as unattainable.

But the fact that a national or conference championship is potentially unattainable certainly doesn’t mean a season’s goals are now completely impossible.

And two consecutive losses, regardless of how bad they were, should never be a reason to just wash an entire season. In fact, the Mountaineers have been consistently inspired and motivated by adversity and collective doubt in recent years.

It’s also important to keep in perspective what’s specifically happened to WVU in their last two games, because it’s not like the Mountaineers dropped two in a row to inferior opponents.

On the contrary, it’s been two of the better teams in the country and certainly the conference that has, for the most part, exposed the glaring holes of the Mountaineers’ defense, specifically within the secondary.

Because of these glaring exploitations, the reputation of West Virginia’s new defensive coordinators, Keith Patterson and Joe DeForest, are already coming under fire from West Virginia’s fan base. But as head coach Dana Holgorsen pointed out after getting blown out for the second time in as many weeks, it’s not as though the Mountaineers’ assistants have forgotten how to coach overnight.

The truth is, the Mountaineers are in the midst of several major transitions as a football program, and those transitions are simply proving to be a bit rockier than initially expected.

Remember, DeForest and Patterson have been tasked with implementing an entirely new defensive scheme from what most of the Mountaineers’ defensive players have been used to their during the majority of their careers in Morgantown. The immediate results on the field have been clear; many of the players are still adjusting to where they are supposed to be in coverage at any given time.

To make matters even more difficult, the Mountaineers are also in the midst of another transition: their well-publicized migration to the Big 12.

And although there certainly were some capable athletes in WVU’s former conference homestead, the Big East, the Big 12 has obviously proven to be a completely different realm in regard to speed, talent and production, especially at the wide receiver position.

It seems as if the Mountaineers’ defensive recruiting is just a step behind their first year in the conference.

In other words, WVU simply doesn’t have the talent at cornerback or safety to keep up with some of the best athletes in the entire country.

Even though the Mountaineers’ players may be a bit overmatched at some positions and have indisputably been outmatched on the field the last two weeks, that doesn’t mean that the

Anonymity has a name in new film

Noah Berger/wired.com

‘We Are Legion’ tells the story of ‘Anonymous,’ a revolutionary Internet activist group.

by Madeline Carey A&e writer

The age of the Internet has brought us Google, Facebook, Twitter and a plethora of potential obstacles older generations view as mortal enemies.

They have reason to worry.

Anonymous is the Internet activist group that none of us – not even the members themselves – saw coming.

“We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivist” is a newly made documentary that shadows these nameless and faceless social activists and mischief enthusiasts.

What exactly is a “hacktivist?”

The term describes someone who uses computer networking to protest or promote political agendas.

While you were posting pictures of your dinner at Olive Garden to Instagram and tweeting about your roommate’s boyfriend, Anonymous was creating anarchy and a new age of revolution.

Former frontline producer Brian Knappenberger wrote, produced and directed the documentary following the beginnings of the revolution.

Anonymous, which started on 4chan, a mes-

sage board site known for trolling long before Reddit swept the subculture, focused largely on the mischievous side of hacking until the later developments of the group.

Nonetheless, Anonymous has tackled some amazing feats since its inception.

The group has challenged the U.S. government ; they’ve created backlash against the shutdown of Megaupload and they’ve disgraced the name of Scientology.

They’ve even dipped their hands into the whirlpool of anger and activism for which our generation is best known: Occupy Wall

Hip-hop artists impress with latest release Corey zinn correspondent

MellowHype members Hodgy Beats and Left Brain released their newest album, “Numbers,” under new label Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. OFWGKTA is a group of rappers bred from a skater and underground hip-hop community in Los Angeles. Tyler the Creator leads the group. Many know him from the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, where he was honored with the title “Best New Artist.” In addition, Tyler the Creator has won the Sucker Free Awards of “Rookie of the Year” and “Must Follow Artist.”

Tyler often has influence on the albums released under Odd Future, so it is sometimes difficult to distinguish differences between other artists within the label. The label is a tightly knit group, and their sounds often overlap.

“Numbers” is mostly Left Brain’s production – one song was produced with Hodgy Beats, another with Michael Einziger and another with Tyler.

It’s ill and chill. They’re the embodiment of “swag” if there ever were a real use of the word. As always, the beats are a logical and fascinating progression of hip-

We’re hiring

hop, and I highly doubt you could call any rap more dynamic than theirs.

This group has great intuition and uses it to create their own style of left-field hip-hop that is one of the most intelligent interpretations of the genre.

The lyrics and style follow suit and hold many varying messages and attitudes.

They’ll go anywhere, from pleasantly laid-back to sinister and cold uneasiness.

Most of their themes include sedated lifestyles, enlightening, simplistic philosophies or just comedic nonsense.

“Numbers” isn’t anything extremely distinctive from their other albums. Even though regular listeners know what to expect, MellowHype has refined their sound, and it does still have some fresh elements.

Odd Future is getting better at doing what they do.

As they have become more mainstream, their aggression has calmed, resulting in a more mild form of brash.

Most records released under Odd Future feel more like mixtapes – compilations of tracks without much thought of the total product. It is rare for hip-hop artists to make statements through wellplanned albums, but one could expect Odd Future to mature and take on this challenge.

No matter how you feel about the esteemed record label and its disturbing motifs, this group of artists and music executives quickly churns out some of the most interesting and stylish hip-hop available right now. If you haven’t already done so, check out Odd Future. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

With the group stepping outside of their stereotypical dark basements, Anonymous has taken on an identity of their own, sporting masks of Guy Fawkes, the original anarchist made famous by the 2005 cult-classic film, “V for Vendetta.”

Knappenberger, the mastermind behind the documentary, had plenty to say about the group in an interview with the Montreal Gazette.

“It [Anonymous] is definitely chaotic and decentralized and not nearly as organized as some might expect or what stories might suggest,” Knappenberger said.

“We Are Legion” has brought us a glimpse into the complicated lives of our generation’s forgotten.

The New York Times gave the film a great review and said, “The film is most illuminating in showing how democratic practice can still find a new voice and innovative means with each generation. The fascinating efforts of Anonymous can be messy, but so are many freedoms when asserted so boldly.”

Because Anonymous has no official leadership, the wants, needs and decisions of the group are at times unorganized.

“The funny thing about Anonymous is that there

are some within who are almost offended that people would think of it in terms of being a force for good,” Knappenberger said.

The documentary, which opened in film festivals earlier this year, was revered for its originality and cinematic beauty, and it is being released globally to the public Tuesday.

Knappenberger further told the Montreal Gazette that the story is far from over.

“It’s a fascinating culture – so new to the human experience, and this documentary is a sort of first chapter,” he said. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

UNDERGROUND SOUND

‘Incorruptible Heart’ Lavender Diamond ««««

‘2’ Mac Demarco «««« Just six months ago, 22-year-old Mac Demarco released his debut extended play, “Rock and Roll Night Club 12,” and the singersongwriter is now back with his first official full-length album, “2.”

The young Canadian singer-songwriter and producer has put his new recording gear to good use to strengthen his previous style while still incorporating natural simplicity.

Demarco has released new songs that are bound to please listeners. One of these songs is “Ode to Viceroy,” a song that captures the importance of one of Demarco’s bad habits – smoking cigarettes.

A common trend in his songwriting is the references to seemingly insignificant objects or moments.

For example, “Ode to Viceroy” depicts his cigarette addiction and “Baby’s Wearing Blue Jeans” from his previous album very obviously shows his attraction and love for girls wearing jeans. “Straight leg or a boot cut/ I’m beggin’ darling, please/ Stay with me forever/ Just don’t take off those jeans.”

The opening track, “Cooking Up Something Good,” is one of the most upbeat songs on the album.

The song is deceiving because once you listen to the lyrics, you realize he’s singing about his father cooking meth(amphetamines).

The song may be fact of fiction, but the mood is uplifting and fun.

Demarco’s lyrics bring a nostalgic feeling of heartbreak, cute girls and the small things that normally go unnoticed. While his low-fidelity rock doesn’t show a large amount of complexity, Demarco proves his songwriting abilities and potential to continue to make great music.

Recommended tracks are “Ode to Viceroy,” “Cooking Up Something Good” and “My Kind of Woman.”

Vocalizing pure melancholy and romanticism at its finest, Los Angeles-based group Lavender Diamond sparkles brilliantly on their latest release, “Incorruptible Heart.”

Receiving production assistance from OK Go’s Damian Kulash, the indie rock quartet fuses their charismatic idiosyncrasies to publish a hybrid folk sound that isn’t afraid to integrate lush tracks and pop mechanics.

Singer Becky Stark embodies her exceptionally elegant voice to delicately unite dreamy melodies with upbeat and cordial optimism.

With seemingly unparalleled talent, Stark continues to prove the extent of her versatility, leaping between carefully constructed lullabies and carefree pop jingles from start to finish, all of which are composed in a truly rare and beautiful tone.

The straightforward and poignant “Everybody’s Heart’s Breaking Now” kicks things off and stands equally as memorable as the catchy, piano-driven “I Don’t Recall.”

“Perfect Love” uses folk strings to signal the spark of a rediscovered confidence in love – or at least the idea of love – near the album’s end.

Because “Incorruptible Heart” is nearly perfect vocally, it’s almost too easy to overlook the instrumental creativity and flexibility throughout. Piano and strings are swapped and paired with cleverly placed percussion that presents a collectively wellcrafted effort from all members of the California four-piece.

A small step outside their chill persona, Lavender Diamond made big strides to polish their skill, and “Incorruptible Heart” is sure to pull even the toughest heartstrings.

Rodriguez’s celeb friends kick off Kohl’s launch NEW YORK (AP) — Even celebrities appreciate a bargain. Perhaps that’s why famous pals Katie Holmes and Julianna Margulies joined Narciso Rodriguez as he launched a limited-edition collection with a more affordable national retailer.

Holmes walked the red carpet at the launch party Monday in New York for Rodriguez’s line for Kohls.

“Narciso is a friend and I’m really excited to be here to support him and I think it’s wonderful what he’s doing and I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and it’s an honor to be here. It’s always an honor to wear his clothing,” she said.

Rodriguez’s line launches Kohl’s DesigNation program, which features styles inspired by faraway lands. He used as a starting point a recent trip

to Istanbul, and he married elements of Turkish culture with his typical architectural construction.

“The Good Wife” actress Margulies said she not only is a fan of Narciso Rodriguez, she regards him as family.

“Seventeen years ago, I met Narciso and I took him to his first CFDA Awards. I was his date. ... It’s a history. He was at my wedding, he was there the day my baby was born. We’re family.”

Emma Roberts said she also appreciated the accessibility of the collection for Kohl’s.

“I love when these big designers are collaborating with places to make their stuff more accessible to everybody and also just making kind of more everyday pieces because so many of these designers I love, but they do these gowns that you can’t exactly wear to the supermarket.”

Rodriguez for DesigNation will be available in Kohl’s stores Nov. 7. In the spring, Derek Lam takes over the program for a collection inspired by his trip to Brazil.
