Univ. Police warns students of fake employment scam by david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

If you didn’t get the email last week, there is a scam going around campus right now that the University Police Department has been warning students about. The scam attracts students by using employment banks at colleges and universities.

Different front companies use names that sound legitimate, and pretend to hire students. But in reality, they’re actually just trying to launder money.

Students who apply are sent a cashier’s check and then told to buy “Green Dot Money Pak Cards” and email the PIN numbers to one or more supervisors. Students are told that any leftover funds are theirs to keep, before they find out the check is fraudulent.

“These are scams we’ve seen before,” said West Virginia University Police Chief Bob Roberts. “These are just coming from different people.”

Roberts has worked for UPD for the last 29 years, and has served as Chief for the last 24. He says this is nothing out of the ordinary and there are red flags that will tell you almost every time whether or not it’s real.

“If you’re getting a message that’s asking you to cash a check and keep a certain amount, it’s a scam,” he said.

“If it looks too good to be true, it’s a scam. When you get something like that, go online and check it out or call our department and we’ll check it out. But make sure you don’t get sucked into it.”

The two front companies that posed a threat were Rolex and Shimmery, which indeed sent out cashier checks and promoted an employment opportunity. With Shimmery, the scammer posted a fake job opportunity as an office assistant on a University web-based career board.

“This information on these scams originally came from other institutions,”Roberts said. “Everyone is trying to work together to put a stop to it.”

Roberts said that as soon as anything suspicious surfaces in the area, UPD makes an attempt to spread the news to the National White Collar Crime Network as well as other agencies.

“As soon as we get the information, we try to share it with these agencies so they can put info out and conduct any investigations that they will do.” he said. “At the federal level, they typically look into these widespread scams, particularly the online ones.”

UPD has asked any student who receives a suspicious email to forward it to DefendYourData@mail.wvu.edu for review. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Memorial honors former political science professor by jennifer skinner correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University held a memorial service from 3-5 p.m. on Monday in Elizabeth Moore Hall for Hong Nak Kim, a professor of political science, who passed away on July 7. Kim was 80 years old.

Born in Taegu, South Korea, Kim graduated from Seoul National University and then received his master’s degree and his Ph.D. with distinction from Georgetown University. Dr. Kim moved to Morgantown in 1967.

For 47 years, he taught classes in comparative politics, East Asian governments, comparative public policy and East Asian international relations.

Jack Hammersmith, professor for the Department of History, spoke of Kim’s significance as a “scholar, teacher, colleague and friend” at WVU. “His ability to scour sources in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English was a rare talent,” Hammersmith said. “He grounded his work always in evidence, not emotion.”

In 1985, Kim received the recognition of Outstanding Researcher in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences. An author of one book and co-editor of six, Dr. Kim also edited and contributed over 100 articles to academic journals including Journal of Northeast Asian Studies, Current History and Problems of Communism.

As a Fulbright visiting professor, Kim traveled to Tokyo’s Keio University in 1979 and 1982 and Seoul National University in 1990. He entered his position as president at the International Council on Korean Studies in Washington, D.C. in 2004.

In 2005, Kim also served as a POSCO Fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and two years later, he returned as a Visiting Scholar.

“No life, certainly not one as lengthy, productive, and varied as Hong’s, can be adequately summarized in a few short minutes,” Hammersmith said.

As part of the service, Scott Crichlow, Chair of the Department of Political Science, read two letters, one written by a WVU professor and the other by a 1971 WVU alum, that detailed the personal and academic influence Dr. Kim had on his colleagues and students.

“To be able to affect generations of students and open up the minds of Mountaineers is an incredible effect in enlightening students for decades,” Crichlow said. “(Kim) had full understanding of international politics in a way no one else could.

He was so passionate about what he researched and what he

Student organizations host event to support families of ISIS victims by david schlake & Jacob bojesson da staff @dailyathenaeum

The Mountaineer Organization for Relief Efforts and the Muslim Student Association cohosted a two part event to remember American journalists James Foley and Steve Sotloff, as well as humanitarian relief worker David Haines.

The three men were killed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in recent weeks while working in Syria.

The first part of the event featured a book signing, in which students wrote letters to the families of the victims.

“In my eyes people like Foley, Sotloff, and Haines are the most courageous and selfless that anyone could be,” said Mouhammed Sakkal, director of Philanthropy for SGA, President of Mountaineer Organization for Relief Efforts and spokesperson for the Muslim Student Association. “They have gone to the most dangerous place in the world unarmed with no regard for Andrew Spellman/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM their safety to help other people, to spread truth, to expose tyrants and terrorists, and ultimately Hamza Durrani, a freshman biomedical engineering student, works the SGA booth in the to tell a story of the victims oppressed by the Mountainlair.

Perry G. Fine Pain Lecture Series returns to Morgantown by courtney gatto correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The seventh annual Perry G. Fine, M.D., Pain Lecture Series is coming back to West Virginia University and will take place Sept. 22, at 5 p.m. at the Erickson Alumni Center.

Doctors knowledgeable on pain medicine are coming to WVU to educate students, veterans and other medical professionals.

This year, the lectures will be given by two doctors; Rollin M. Gallagher and Perry G. Fine. The series will specifically address the challenges the Department of Defense and Veteran’s Administration face when transitioning veterans from the war zone to home and dealing with their pain management.

Chronic pain, ranging from back and neck pain, to arthritis, migraines and many other versions, is a disease that affects over 100 million Americans. These numbers are only growing with time as the population ages.

The amount of research and knowledge about this topic is inadequately low, which is why the Hospice Care Corporation and West Virginia University Health Sciences Office of Continuing Education are teaming up to sponsor Perry G. Fine, MD Lecture Series.

“This lecture series is one of the first, if not the only, annual lectureship series at a major university dedicated to improving care of patients in pain,” said Cindy Woodyard from the Hospice Care Corporation.

The CEO of Capital Caring, founding president of the Hospice Care Corporation and member of WVU Alumni Association Board of Directors, Malene Smith Davis, is very passionate about this type of medicine and is proud of her achievements in helping to create the event.

“Malene is a visionary and is in the forefront of the hospice and palliative care movement on a national level advocating for patients’ rights to receive quality end of life care,” Woodyard said. “She would love to ensure

Davis is very excited about this event and is eager to present both doctors that are highly qualified and knowledgeable in this area of study.

Gallagher, the national program director for pain management with the V.A. Health Systems will be the first lecturer to speak at 5:30 p.m. He will discuss acute pain after battlefield injuries and a new care model covering the treatment of pain in soldiers in his presentation called “Pain in Wounded Warriors: Safe and Effective Management, Battlefield to Bedside and Back Home.”

Fine, the immediate past President of the America Academy of Pain Medicine and current professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Utah School of Medicine, will be the second speaker and will give his presentation titled “Opioid Rotation: Optimizing Therapeutic Outcomes, Minimizing Harms.”

House GOP moves ahead on Syrian rebel training WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers raced Monday to authorize an expanded mission to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels before heading back to the campaign trail, with House Republicans preparing legislation backing a central plank of President Barack Obama’s strategy against the Islamic State group.

The Obama administration says the training operation is needed to establish credible, local ground forces to accompany U.S. air strikes against the militants who have conquered large parts of Iraq and Syria, beheaded two American journalists and become a top U.S. terrorism threat in the region and beyond. The House and Senate are both on a tight schedule, looking to wrap up work Friday before an almost two-month recess in preparation for November’s midterm elections.

The authorization under consideration will likely be included as an

amendment to a spending bill Congress must pass to keep the government open until mid-December. That would give lawmakers the opportunity to hold a separate debate and vote on the matter — something members of both parties want.

The measure doesn’t authorize U.S. combat troops in Iraq or Syria or explicitly ban them, reflecting a congressional divide between hawks seeking tougher action than that proposed

by Obama and lawmakers weary from more than a decade of U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also compels the Pentagon to present Congress with a plan 15 days before any training begins, according to a summary released

by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif.

Democrats are reviewing the proposal, which would enable the military to take over what has previously been a limited, co-

vert operation to beef up rebels battling extremist groups and President Bashar Assad’s army. The administration isn’t likely to protest the conditions.

It has sent more than 1,000 troops to Iraq to provide military assistance and bolster security of U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel. But Obama, too, opposes any U.S. ground offensive.

Republicans were to gather for internal talks Tuesday morning. A House vote could be held Thursday, by which time lawmakers will have had opportunities to question the administration’s top national security officials.

The Senate would then follow.

Defense S e c re t a r y Chuck Hagel briefs House and Senate committees Tuesday and Thursday, with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey also testifying. Secretary of State John Kerry appears before separate panels

Wednesday and Thursday.

Obama’s approach to fighting the Islamic State group largely sidesteps Congress. The president isn’t asking for permission to expand strikes in Iraq and target the militants’ operational bases and command structures in Syria, a source of consternation for some Democrats and Republicans who say the Constitution demands the legislative branch declare war. The U.S. conducted the first of those airstrikes Monday, going to the aid of Iraqi security forces who were being attacked by enemy fighters.

Rep. Adam Schiff, DCalif., is introducing a bill providing war authorization while limiting U.S. engagement to 18 months and ruling out military action outside Iraq or Syria.

Such legislation isn’t likely to get a look until next year, if at all. “It is truly ironic the administration thinks it needs to ask for authorization ... to fund opposi-

tion forces, but it can proceed to go to war without Congress,” Schiff said in a telephone interview.

In the Senate, Democrat Tim Kaine of Virginia and Republican Bob Corker of Tennessee have led similar efforts.

Obama’s opposition to ground forces explains why U.S. officials are attaching such importance to enhancing the capacities of Syria’s more moderate rebels. They’ve received little in military assistance from the United States over three-and-a-half years of civil war and have been overwhelmed by opponents on both sides. Until recently, U.S. officials were among the most opposed to providing them with greater assistance.

The U.S. plan is to develop moderate forces in Saudi Arabia before helping them return to the battlefield. It’s unclear how long they will need to be battle ready or how the U.S. can ensure their attention

remains on fighting extremists and not just the Syrian government.

Many Republicans and Democrats have expressed reservations about the ability to identify moderates in a country awash with rebel formations and shifting alliances. The Islamic State grew out of the al-Qaida movement, but the two are now fighting. In some instances, the moderate Free Syrian Army has teamed with al-Qaida’s local franchise, the Nusra Front.

The House’s effort would provide lawmakers with information on the vetting process and which groups are being recruited.

The administration didn’t ask for money to conduct the arming and training mission because it expects foreign donors to fund the program, the House aide said. In any case, the Pentagon has billions of dollars in wartime contingency funds it can ask Congress to release.

vigil

Continued from page 1 Sakkal admitted that Muslims around the world need to take some of the blame themselves. By speaking up outside the Mountainlair, the Muslim students took a clear stand on the issue.

“Muslims are partly to blame for that. We need to demand that our voices be heard and that this does not represent us,” Sakkal said.

The vigil ceremony lasted for about 10 minutes and included five minutes of silence followed by a prayer, all while holding a lit candle in solidarity with the victims of ISIS. Although the group of students that came out for the vigil was small, they felt an obligation to show that there is no correlation between the events in Syria and the religion of Islam.

“I decided to come out here because I wanted to show that we as Muslims on campus, and beyond even just Muslims, want the world to know that we do not support any of the barbaric actions of ISIS,” said Maher Shammaa, a sophomore chemical engineering student. “We only advocate peace all over the world.”

‘Let’s Be Cops’ overrated, not worth ticket price jake jarvis multimedia editor @DailyAthenaeum

««««« Two bros find a couple of police costumes and make fools of themselves around the city of Los Angeles.

That’s basically the plot of “Let’s Be Cops,” directed

by Luke Greenfield. The film stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans, but failed to highlight each star’s abilities.

Justin (Wayans) is a video game designer. He is a pushover in his job and lets his employer steal his game ideas. Justin’s best friend, Ryan (Johnson), is a former high school quarterback.

In his glory days, Ryan was the most popular guy in high school and was expected to go professional.

We soon learn Ryan drunkingly jumped off of a building and injured his leg. In the present, he and Justin live together. They’re the typical wash-ups who peaked in high school.

In a turn of events, the guys get their hands on realistic police uniforms. They wear these to a party and the entire crowd mistakes them for police officers. This attention goes to Ryan’s head and he soon begins to obsess with the thought of being a cop.

He even goes so far as to purchase a police cruiser from Ebay and customize it to match the Los Angeles Police Department’s cars.

In typical bro fashion, Ryan and Justin use this newly-accquired position to wreak havoc on the city.

The movie rests heavily on one kind of joke: Cops behaving badly.

In one scene, the guys approach a group of people standing on the sidewalk outside of a nightclub. One man in the group is smoking a marijuana cigarette. Ryan puffs out his chest and confiscates the cigarette. Instead of arresting the man, he smokes it.

The rest of the audience and I exploded with laughter.

Ryan, attempting to impress a group of young boys, drives across a sidewalk, through a chain-link fence and over a large hill.

He skids to a halt and jumps out.

The rest of the audience laughed. I did not.

The filmmakers relied too heavily on this type of shocking humor. It was extremely repetitive.

An underlying theme of the film is the power of video games. Halfway through the film, I saw the influence of video games coming through increasingly.

People often say that video games increase the violent

Forward-thinking U2 innovating while entertaining Since U2 stunned the music world by delivering a surprise album at Apple’s iPhone 6 unveiling and making it available to a half-billion iTunes users for free, they’ve gotten an avalanche of publicity.

But who’s listening to it? The picture started to become more clear when Apple said Monday that 33 million users downloaded or streamed “Songs of Innocence” in the first six days of its release. Apple says that’s a record, but for U2’s manager, Guy Oseary, the numbers weren’t really the point: The album will live on in users’ iCloud, and the band envisions new listeners accessing it for the first time for years to come.

“We’re quite happy that 7 percent of the planet has this album, and they can enjoy it at their leisure,” Oseary said.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ move was hotly debated within the industry as people tried to assess whether it was another stroke of genius from a band that has been a topselling juggernaut for decades or a ploy by an aging group trying to make a splash in a landscape that has vastly changed since it released its last album in 2009. Even though that album went platinum, its sales were a bit of a disappointment for the band.

Back then, frontman Bono told The Associated Press, “We felt that the `album’ is almost an extinct species, and we (tried to) create a mood and feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end. And I suppose we’ve made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars.”

That diet has gotten even more extreme since then, with album sales continuing to plummet industrywide, singles dominating and streaming services including Spotify and even iTunes helping to diminish the impact of a cohesive art form album.

So what is U2 trying to achieve with its latest Apple alliance? Oseary said the band achieved one goal: keeping the integrity of “Songs” intact by releasing it as an album. As far as U2’s larger business goals?

“I don’t expect everyone to get everything now,” Oseary said. “Maybe in a few years things will start making sense or they won’t. But that’s not our job. Our job is to make sure the music is in as many hands as possible.

This was an incredible opportunity to do that.”

U2 joined Jay Z, Beyonce and a growing number of artists who are working out exclusive corporate deals and employing guerrilla ad campaigns rather than moving the album through the typical marketing plan of singles release and slow build to launch date.

Like Jay Z and his Samsung partnership to launch “Magna Carta ... Holy Grail” last year, U2 and Interscope Records get handsomely paid - something that’s no longer guaranteed from album sales alone and the money comes on up front. Apple continues a high-profile relationship with a longtime business and philanthropic partner, plus earns more credit for innovation. Fans get something for free and those who don’t want it can just ignore it.

“I applaud each of those artists creating a stir and not just falling into a predictable marketing strategy,” longtime producer and Sony Music Entertainment executive Clive Davis said. “I think in the case of Beyoncé and Jay Z, they had successful results triggering so much extra media attention and coverage because they didn’t do things in a formulaic kind of manner.”

But there may be penalties to pay later if physical retailers refuse to stock the album, as Target did when Beyonce surprisedropped her self-titled LP exclusively on iTunes last December for a week (it was still a top-seller worldwide). And there are still lots of questions.

Will fans now buy a physical copy, released Oct. 14?

Will the band lose some of its cool? Even the unflappable Jay Z suffered backlash when the app he and Samsung used to distribute his album to 1 million customers cataloged user information, and there have already been complaints from some who didn’t want a U2 album on their cloud - even as a gift.

Rob Beckham, an agent with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment who handles some of country music’s biggest stars, thinks any negatives that might emerge have already been offset. All acts suffer a cooling of interest when their careers reach into the decades, he said, and the trick is to find ways to rekindle interest and build new audiences. A win for U2, for sure, but in some ways he feels the excitement over an innovative move will inspire the industry.

Gamers use hoax to lash out at opponents

Sixty police officers respond in Long Beach, N.Y. Investigators later learned the call was from someone who lost a game of ‘Call of Duty.’

DENVER (AP) — The calls to 911 raised an instant alarm: One caller said he shot his co-workers at a Colorado video game company and had hostages.

Another in Florida said her father was drunk, wielding a machine gun and threatening their family.

A third caller on New York’s Long Island claimed to have killed his mother and threatened to shoot first responders.

In each case, SWAT teams dispatched to the scene found no violent criminals or wounded victims - only video game players sitting at their computers, the startled victims of a hoax known as “swatting.”

Authorities say the hoax that initially targeted celebrities has now become a way for players of combat-themed video games to retaliate against opponents while thousands of spectators watch. The perpetrators can watch their hijinks unfold minute by minute in a window that shows a live video image of other players.

“It’s like creating your own episode of `Cops,’” said Dr. John Grohol, a research psychologist who studies online behavior, referring to the long-running reality TV show that follows officers on patrol.

The players, who are often many miles away, look up their opponent’s addresses in phone directories, sometimes using services that can find unlisted numbers. They also exploit online programs that trick 911 dispatchers into believing an emergency call is coming from the victim’s phone or address.

All the while, they conceal their own identities and locations.

Authorities spent an estimated $100,000 to send more than 60 officers in

April to the hoax in Long Beach, New York. Investigators said the caller was upset over losing a game of “Call of Duty” when he called police using Skype.

SWAT officers found only a teenager wearing headphones.

In Bradenton, Florida, at least 15 officers showed up at the home of a professional video game player on Aug. 31 after a caller posing as his young daughter phoned in a report that he was armed and drunk.

Instead, they found him playing ‘Minecraft’ for a live audience over Twitch. tv, an online network with millions of viewers.

“The officers responding do not know, other than the information they’re getting over the radio, exactly what is going on,” said Bradenton police Capt.

William Fowler.

Less than a week later, police received another bogus call routed through the man’s phone that made it appear he had called in a bomb threat to a Bradenton gas station.

A Connecticut man was arrested Sept. 10 on federal charges that he made swatting calls there and in at least four other states.

Authorities say Matthew Tollis, 21, belonged to a group that referred to itself as TeAM Crucifix or Die. Other members live in the United Kingdom, according to the FBI, which is still trying to learn their identities.

Swatting captured headlines several years ago, when a series of celebrity homes were targeted in Los Angeles. Police were so concerned about copycat crimes that they stopped releasing any public information when a hoax occurred. Officers made at least one arrest, a juvenile who targeted Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher.

“You can literally do it from around the world,” said Justin Cappos, assistant professor of computer science at New York University. “It can be very challenging (to solve) depending on the sophistication of the person doing it.”

Realizing the difficulty, police in Littleton, Colorado, sought help from FBI agents in Denver who are specially trained to solve cyber-crime.

Grohol, the psychologist, said the prevalence of live game-streaming might be one reason for the trend. As the victim in the Colorado case, Jordan Mathewson, put it to KMGH-TV: “They get to see all this go down right before their eyes and, you know, it’s fun to them.”

Intensely competitive war games that blur the lines of fantasy and reality could also contribute, said Dr. Kimberly Young, a psychologist who directs the

nypost.com

Center for Internet Addiction Recovery in Bradford, Pennsylvania.

“They want to win at all costs, including jeopardizing someone’s safety,” she said. “Real life becomes almost meaningless because they’re so entrenched and involved in these games.

Swatting, to them, seems like part of the game.”

A video of the Aug. 27 incident in Littleton posted on YouTube shows Mathewson playing a first-person shooter game when he hears officers approaching.

“I think we’re getting swatted,” he says, raising his hands as heavily armed officers shout for him to get on the ground. He drops, and officers handcuff and frisk him.

“That’s live streaming,” Mathewson tells the officers. “I guess a joker thought it would be funny to call you guys in.”

Miss America more than a crown The annual Miss America pageant is more than just a sash and crown.

On Sunday, 53 girls vied for the title of Miss America with dreams of making a difference.

A West Virginia University student took to the stage in hopes of getting the crown.

While dressing up and looking pretty is part of the fun, that’s not what the heart of the competition is really all about.

The Miss America organization isn’t about the glitz and glam – it’s about scholarship.

Every contestant has a platform that they spend their time advocating for to make a real difference.

Platforms include celebrating diversity, STEM and empowering women to have healthy body images.

Paige Madden, Miss West Virginia, dedicated her platform to empowering women facing domestic violence. Although she wasn’t

named a finalist, Madden put West Virginia on the map and represented the state very well. We hope she will continue her work with her platform Silence Hides Violence, to make a difference in the lives of West Virginians every day.

Contestants have to be updated on current events and are expected to provide insight on today’s issues at the drop of a hat.

Yes, there’s talent and swimsuit portions mixed in, but Miss America is about finding the most wellrounded girl to represent the United States.

So why do we spend so much time tearing these girls apart?

Many criticized newley crowned Miss America Kira Kazantsev for her talent portion of the competition Sunday.

Comments flooded social media about talents and how girls looked in swimsuits.

But, Miss America isn’t all about

singing the best or looking the prettiest.

Girls of all different shapes, sizes, colors and walks of life represent their state for the chance to make a difference in the lives of others.

The Miss America pageant places an immense value on sisterhood, education and changing the lives of others.

If someone is set out to make an impact on the world, what should it matter if we like their rendition of a song? Or their wadrobe choice?

Kazantsev said it best in an interview with NJ.com. It’s about “coloring outside the lines.”

Everyone leaves a mark on the world in their own way. Who are we to tear these girls apart, when they are going out and proving to the world that they will leave their mark. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Restoring faith in humanity one mocha at a time jake jarvis a&e editor @jakejarviswvu

I’m an angry driver. I cut people off, scream at cars with New Jersey license plates and generally speed at least 15 mph above the limit.

There’s usually a good reason for my erratic behavior. I’m known for being late to class or other appointments.

Sunday afternoon I was feeling nice. I just woke up from a long nap and was making my way to work.

On a whim, I decided to treat myself to a venti black and white mocha from the Starbucks on Van Voorhis Road.

I saw in front of me an older-looking, beaten down car speeding down the road. I could have easily turned left into Starbucks, cutting her off, but I didn’t. Instead, I activated my turn signal and waited. The gold car sped up considerably, and at the last second, the driver slammed on their brakes and turned into Starbucks.

www.wiserword.com

In that moment, I made eye contact with the most evil woman in history. Her disheveled hair and ample face wrinkles made me hate her even more.

As an angry driver, my cool demeanor quickly melted away thanks to my searing temper.

During my entire wait,

I screamed at her. Each time she would look back, I mustered up the most disgusted face I could.

Of course, she took forever accepting her drink.

She appeared to be talking with the cashier at length about her beverage – sorry, ma’am, if your stupid drink

isn’t good enough for your stupid face and stupid car.

But then I felt stupid.

“Venti black and white mocha?”

I nodded.

“Well, your drink is actually already paid for. The lady in front of you covered it.”

In that moment, I felt like the most evil person in history. I immediately regretted every middle finger and curse word I hurled at her.

She skidded out from the parking lot, but I’m not sure if it was because she was rushing or was afraid of being close to my car for

much longer.

The lesson here is simple: Don’t be a jerk. If you can’t help it, because of time constraints or otherwise, try to make up for it.

I can’t express how great I felt because of this woman’s gesture. It wasn’t even about getting a free drink, which was great. This experience let me see things from another perspective. I saw myself in that woman.

Maybe she is also an editor for a local newspaper and was rushing to write a story by deadline. Perhaps she was a graduate student rushing to an exam. What if she was a mother, late to pick up her child from work?

This experience wasn’t life changing. I’m still going to be a crazy driver, so if you see me on the road, watch out. But maybe I’ll cut other drivers some slack every now and then.

And maybe the next time I cut someone off, I’ll cover their Starbucks order. It’s the least I could do. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

The plight of the ‘Skinny Bitch,’ why the dessert table has turned molly robinson columnist @dailyathenaeum

Editor’s note: due to an editing error in monday’s issue, much of this column was not published. we have reprinted the column in its entirety.

Whether it’s Nicki Minaj’s infamous “Anaconda,” Meghan Trainor’s “All About that Bass” or even the aptly named “Big Booty Bitches”

by A Lost People, it’s clear that having a little extra junk - especially in the trunk - has become a prized and cherished body part for both women and men to wax poetic.

Different body types have come into fashion throughout history. In the middle ages, more robust women were prized. The Victorian times were all about the hourglass figure and 20 years later it was a boyish frame that did the trick. The ‘80s saw the rise of the Amazon woman and in the ‘90s it was the “heroine-chic” aesthetic women aimed for.

And now, after a period where thigh gaps and bikini bridges have been a deeply analyzed and Instagram-ed topic, it would appear bigger girls are getting their spot in the limelight.

Naturally, this is fantastic.

For too long the media has deliberately portrayed thin girls to try to sell their products, from clothes to cheese-

DA

www.youtube.com

burgers. Obviously not everyone can look like this, and the media is giving young girls a bad image to look up to, blah, blah, blah.

I don’t need to write about the negative images the media is portraying anymore.

Primarily because you’ve all read it before and because, frankly, there is a far more disturbing topic in the body image hate-fest that an alarming amount of people subscribe too. While “Anaconda,” “All About that Bass” and “Big Booty Bitches” all sing the praises of girls with some meat on their bones, they also simultaneously scorn the idea of the “skinny bitch.”

It’s not just that the word

bitch is automatically tacked on to the end of that phrase, as it’s obvious the word has come to have a positive - or at least neutral - meaning when it comes to its big booty counterparts.

No, what’s upsetting is that an entire group of girls, the so-called “skinny bitches,” are now being outright targeted as a negative, as something that should be looked down upon.

Granted, one could say bigger girls have been hated on for a while now, since the media and advertising firms have routinely snubbed them from their campaigns in favor of a thinner ideal.

However, never have I seen anything even closely

resembling lyrics such as, “I’m bringing booty back/Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that” to mock an entire subset of women.

But Meghan Trainor’s song about “body positivity” is not even the worst of it. Take “Big Booty Bitches:” “Little bitches get out, we don’t want no skinny bitches.”

Or maybe simply, “F--- the skinny bitches” by the eververbose Nicki Minaj sums up my point here.

I don’t care if a girl is thin or not. I don’t care if she’s more bass than treble or some other ridiculous musicrelated metaphor that I can’t really understand anyway.

I can’t even find it within myself to get mad about a

whole group of girls being called bitches, because obviously that word has come to describe the fat, the skinny and all the other in-between sizes of women.

What I can’t get behind is the outright bullying we see in these and many other songs.

I’m not going to say certain body types haven’t had it bad throughout the years. I’m not blaming the chubby girl who worried about what to order at a restaurant for fear of looking fat. I’m not blaming the girl who downs a tub of cookie dough ice cream when her date stands her up (also, if that applies to you, give me a call – I’m a big fan of cookie dough).

But what I will never condone is the idea of putting down an entire group of people for the supposed “betterment” of a group that was once treated unfairly themselves.

Never should an assemblage of people benefit by belittling their counterparts.

Never should a group that has finally found the courage to be themselves and flaunt it then take their power to demean another.

Skinny bitches and notskinny bitches are not at war with each other. For years, women both large and small, have worked to improve body image for all types of figures.

They have not worked in vain for women who were once scorned for their size to turn around and do the same thing.

But perhaps we’ve turned a new page, where the oncetaunted “bigger girls” are just exacting the revenge they felt on the “skinny bitch” trope.

Maybe what we’ll have in a few years is just a perpetuation of the body hate I thought we were finally getting over. Maybe it will be a skinny bitch who’s made fun of for how little she orders, or that breaking up with a boyfriend makes her lose five pounds she didn’t necessarily want to lose.

Maybe the tables have turned for all the big booty bitches, and for that I applaud them. But that doesn’t mean they have to turn against the skinny bitches, either. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A&E The Greeks bring new cuisine 6

tuesday september 16, 2014

Caitlin Worrell A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Beechurst is about to get a little taste of the Mediterranean with the arrival of a new authentic Greek cuisine restaurant.

Th e G re e k s c e l e brated its grand opening Monday at Beechview Place.

This downtown eatery brings authentic cui-

sine with late-night options for students and a range of dishes for many cravings. With everything made in house daily, The Greeks ensure a range of fresh flavor.

The front shop features gyros and other traditional options like souvlaki. Those with a sweet tooth can head to the back shop for coffee, crepes and dessert confections.

Tokened as a house favorite, homemade crepes are prepared with endless topping possibilities.

The Greeks regularly feature traditional dish specials such as baklava.

“My personal favorite is the pork souvlaki,” said Nikoletta Kalogeropoulos, co-owner. “As for dessert, my favorite is the Nutella banana crepe. We are trying to give you guys a taste of what we grew up with.”

The Greeks is, in traditional Greek fashion, a family affair.

Nikoletta and Dimitri Kalogeropoulos operate the business alongside Nikoletta’s mother, Anna

Saker and her cousin Dimitri Koletis.

Together, they want to share some of their oldest family recipes and create a genuine option for Morgantown foodies.

“We just wanted to give good, authentic Greek food to Morgantown,” Nikoletta Kalogeropoulos said. “We wanted to give good food to the students as far as freshness.

You name it, we make it here.”

Mediterranean cuisine, such as Taziki’s Mediter-

ranean Cafe, is popular among West Virginia University Students. Nikoletta Kalogeropoulos said this competition will not affect The Greeks, which promises a traditional take on the often modernized cuisine.

“We are actually from Greece. These are recipes that we know from our grandparents and their parents and their parents’ parents,” Nikoletta Kalogeropoulos said. “We are as authentic as you can get. This is the real

deal.”

With many new options coming to the Sunnyside area, The Greeks sets itself apart by offering an international specialty.

Convenient late-night options make it an ideal spot, easily accesible to students and outside community members.

The Greeks is open Monday through Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and until 3:00 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Culture Thief plays U92’s Morgantown Sound Snack smart, stay healthy

Johnnie Armes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Culture Thief’s Joshua Dale Lucas, left, and Craig DeBastiani perform at the Gluck Theatre Monday night.

Westley Thompson A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

From Fairmont, W.Va., comes Culture Thief, an alternative rock band with a hint of bluesy rock and jazz.

Monday night they took the stage in the Gluck Theatre for Morgantown Sound’s weekly show.

Hosted by West Virginia University’s radio station, U92, Morgantown Sound features local artists from various genres and broadcasts their music live as they play in the Mountainlair.

Founded in the summer of 2012, the five-man band

Culture Thief initially went through lineup changes before settling on their current band members.

Although classified as alternative rock, Culture Thief pulls inspiration from a variety of musicians and styles.

Members have previously played anything from metal to hardcore punk. Frank Zappa seems to be their biggest inspiration.

“We’ve been playing music our entire lives,” said Craig DeBastiani, singer, guitarist and auxillary percussionist for Culture Thief.

The band said it will release its debut album in about a month.

“Our personal inspiration for this [album] is

feeling trapped in a place you don’t want to be in,” DeBastiani said. “We want to travel and break free.”

The members all seem to have good rapport with one another.

During practice, while the members are warming up and tuning their instruments, they will often start jamming with each other sporadically.

These random jam sessions often turn into the disovery of new songs and ideas.

This gives the band a rather organic song writing process.The band said it hopes to see great success in its future.

“With our debut album coming out, we’d really like to figure out a touring situation,” said Neil Wallace, guitarist, keyboardist and harmony singer for Culture Thief.

Playing music is Culture Thief’s passion, and the band said they are really looking forward to seeing where they go.

To hear more local bands and musicians broadcast live, be sure to tune into U92 Monday nights from 8-10 p.m.

Stop by the Gluck Theatre during those times to watch the band play live on air. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Most people who have a few pounds to lose believe eating less and cutting out snacks will help them.

They’re wrong.

Eating small portions about every 3 hours each day boosts your metabolism and results in a healthier rate of weight loss. Snacks are an important part of the process.

Just don’t look for something from a vending machine. It may be convenient, but the trick to a better metabolism is choosing nutritious foods that will satisfy your body’s cravings.

Yogurt is a great on-thego snack that is high in protein, calcium, vitamin B and potassium. Even better, yogurt has probiotics, which are good bacteria naturally found in the digestive tract. Probiotics help boost your immune system.

There is further evidence that yogurt can help with lactose intolerance, constipation and colon cancer. Yogurts with active cultures can prevent yeast infections in women. It has also been shown to help maintain bone mass and decrease blood pressure.

For people watching their weight, there is even better news. A study at the University of Washington showed that participants had lower hunger ratings and higher fullness ratings after eating yogurt.

Cheese is another nutritious dairy product that makes the perfect snack.

Calcium, protein, phosphorous, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12 are all found in cheese. Since nine out of 10 women and six out of 10 men don’t have enough calcium in their diets, this is a great choice for anyone.

The protein in cheese supports strong musclebuilding. For the lactoseintolerant, cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss are good snacks because they contain little to no lactose.

Carrots and hummus

are a nice substitute for the unhealthy bag of Lay’s you have the choice of devouring in front of the TV. Carrots contain betacarotene, which is converted to vitamin A when it’s processed in your body.

Vitamin A helps with vision, particularly at night.

Beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant and has antiaging qualities and helps replenish vitamins in the skin that protect you from sun damage, dryness, wrinkles and acne.

Carrots are also another way to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and are good for your teeth.

Hummus is a dip made from chickpeas, olive oils and other vegetables. It has grown into a $530 million industry.

The richness of the protein within hummus fights hunger cravings and balances blood sugar. It also boosts energy because there is a substantial amount of iron in it.

Chickpeas lower cholesterol and reduce cancer risk.

Bananas are one of the most important fruits to include in your diet. They can help fight depression, leg cramps, PMS, stress and swelling. Bananas aid weight loss, lower blood pressure, strengthen the nervous system and so much more. Eating bananas between meals can help stabilize blood sugar.

If you really want something sweet and a little on the unhealthy side, dark chocolate is the way to go.

It’s nutritious with high fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese and antioxidant contents and has an excellent fatty acid profile. Blood flow, blood pressure and brain function are improved by the flavanols found in dark chocolate.

From these healthy choices, to the abundance of other choices out there, choosing to take control of your snacking habits could be the best choice you ever make for both your inward health and outward appearance. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

SPORTS

TUESday SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

ANTHONY PECORARO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @PecoraroWVUNews

WVU could be up to Oklahoma’s test It wasn’t pretty, but after West Virginia managed to prove itself again Saturday, the momentum gained each week has given fans a reason to be confident entering Week 4 of the season.

Though the next opponent for WVU will bring challenges they haven’t had to face yet in No. 4 Oklahoma. While it will be a tough test, West Virginia will certainly have a chance to knock off the visiting Sooners.

I say this for two key reasons.

One reason: Clint Trickett. The redshirt senior quarterback has been phenomenal this season, to say the least.

In all three of the Mountaineers’ games this season, Trickett has put up at least 348 yards on at least 29 completions per game and is currently third in the nation in overall passing yards through the first three games.

In addition to that, he’s coming off a career-high 511 yard passing game, the second most in WVU history, and that’s a statistic that only former Mountaineer and current New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, who threw 656 yards during a game in 2012.

The doubts I had with Trickett leading West Virginia to any sort of success this season prior to Week 1 were numerous.

Between his off-season shoulder surgery and not being hit one single time before the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, to his lack of overall leadership in 2013, I had little confidence in his abilities heading into this year.

He has ended up proving me wrong on nearly every level with only suffering a couple of somewhat bad hits thus far. He is playing like a quarterback that has been able to demonstrate extensive leadership both on and off the field.

My second key entering Week 4 for West Virginia is the running game.

There have been moments when it’s not just Pitt transfer Rushel Shell and Wendell Smallwood lighting it up from the back field, but also Andrew Buie, Dustin Garrison and Dreamius Smith, who are also contributing to the Mountaineer offensive game as the quintuple have collectively racked up 422 yards over the first three games.

However, there are times when the potential that I know is there for this running group simply comes up short and has really become a huge difference maker on some of WVU’s 273 plays this season.

As the Mountaineers will be going up against a Sooner defense that is averaging giving up 11 points per game and a total of 260 rushing yards against them this season, utilizing the running game to the fullest, in connection with Trickett and his options in the passing game, will be huge in order for WVU to have any shot at a victory Saturday.

Just a few practices remain until we will all once again see just how far this team can be stretched.

However, if West Virginia can stay somewhat consistent against one of the top teams in the nation, as they did with thenNo. 2 Alabama in Week 1, then Mountaineer Nation may be in for yet another good ball game under the lights at Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

RAISING HIS GAME

NICK HOLSTEIN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Quarterback Clint Trickett takes a snap from the shotgun during WVU’s Week 2 win against Towson.

Trickett taking his game to another level, gaining national attention after Maryland game by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

After a year struggling to stay healthy, find consistency and become proficient in head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense, Clint Trickett is starting to shine.

Trickett became just the second quarterback in program history to throw for more than 500 yards in a game when he completed 37 of his 49 passes for 511 yards and four touchdowns in the Mountaineers’ 4037 win against Maryland at Byrd Stadium Saturday.

As a result of his breakout performance, Trickett is starting to gain national notoriety.

He was named the Athlon Sports National Player of the Week and the Big 12 Offensive Player of the week for his effort against the Terrapins.

“I have to give credit to the whole offensive unit, from the offensive line to the receivers to the running backs,” Trickett said in a release. “I’m just a facilitator. Those guys are the ones making the plays and deserve all the credit.”

Trickett is beginning to make a name for himself in his final year in college football. Holgorsen said his quarterback is much more comfortable in his system this season than he was in 2013, and the results are starting to show on the field.

“Last year he got to campus in August. Going through camp, it was all new to him. He didn’t really have a relationship with the coaching staff or with the players, which makes it tough, especially for that position where you’re naturally put into a leadership role,” he said.

“The comfort level he has with his teammates, the rapport that he has with not only myself, coach Dawson and the coaching staff (has gotten better).

“Those O-linemen like him a good bit more now and just because they like him they want to protect him more.”

Through the first three games of the season, Trick-

ett has helped to raise the efficiency of West Virginia’s offense new heights. Wide receivers Kevin White and Mario Alford have raised their level of play as well, and West Virginia’s aerial attack is starting to mirror the days of Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin.

With 460 receiving yards on 21 catches through three games, White is only 47 yards short of equaling his total receiving yardage from the 2013 season.

The impact of Trickett’s efficiency hasn’t just impacted West Virginia’s top two receivers. The receiving corps as a whole has hauled in seven touchdowns already this season.

During the entire 2013 season, Mountaineer receivers brought in 16 touchdown receptions.

“The timing aspect of things when it comes to him and the receivers is where it needs to be now.

His leadership ability is off the charts right now,” Holgorsen said.

“He just understands what’s going on. He’s a smart kid that understands the game of football. Without a working knowledge of what our terminology is and where we’re trying to go with the ball, we weren’t going to be successful. (It has been) night and day from where he was a year ago.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WVU must take advantage of opportunities

Nick Morales/tHE dAILY aTHENAEUM

Junior Kelsie Maloney tries to work her way around three Georgetown defenders Friday.

by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia women’s soccer head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is always using the phrase, “soccer is cruel.”

Maybe someone could see Izzo-Brown’s point after watching the Mountaineers’ matchup against No. 7 Georgetown Friday night.

In a game where West Virginia outshot the Hoyas 26-10 and took a top ten team into two overtimes, only for the game to end in a draw, someone could easily deem the result of the match “cruel,” considering how well WVU played.

How does one feel after a game like this? You didn’t

win, nor did you lose.

“It’s frustrating when you have 26 shots, 13 on frame (and) they have three,” IzzoBrown said following the tie. “We were hitting everywhere but the back of the net. At the end of the day, when you’re inside that 18 (yard line) as much as we were, we have to finish.”

Izzo-Brown’s display of frustration with dominating the game and ending up in a draw was evident. She worked just as hard on the sidelines as her players did on the playing field.

Izzo-Brown said she felt as if the Mountaineers let this one slip away, and Georgetown escaped with a better result than what could have been.

West Virginia’s lone goal came from Kadeisha Buchanan. She scored while facing traffic inside the box.

Buchanan sided with her coach when she said the end result of last week’s game was frustrating.

“Definitely frustrating,” Buchanan said. “Toward the end of the second half, we definitely had way more chances than them. We had way more resilience than them.”

Missed opportunities came back to bite the Mountaineers against Georgetown.

“You have all these chances, chances, chances in soccer and if you don’t finish them, it could come back to haunt you,” Izzo-

Brown said. “I don’t know if you’re asking for a haunting moment, but this a haunting moment.”

Goalkeeper Hannah Steadman said she felt more than just frustration, she felt disappointed after having Georgetown’s only goal brush off her fingers and hit the back of the net.

“Thirteen shots on frame, second half or total of whole game and one went in,” she said. “It’s kind of frustrating.”

West Virginia is nearing conference play and will look to improve on capitalizing when it matters most.

Both matchups against Duke and Georgetown are perfect examples of how this team can struggle during

crucial situations while the game against Duquesne’s last Sunday – where the Mountaineers scored four goals in a matter of six minutes – is another example of what this team’s capable of.

In order to be ready for Big 12 play, they will look to minimize the errors and play more like they did against Duquesne.

“Moving forward, soccer is cruel and we know that,” Izzo-Brown said. “The good part is we’re creating these chances, the next part is we just have to finish them.”

The Mountaineers will continue their nonconference schedule this Friday as they host La Salle at 7 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Oklahoma CB Sanchez keeps making big plays NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Teams keep testing Oklahoma cornerback Zack Sanchez. He keeps making them pay.

The sophomore has a pick in each of his three games this season, tying for the national lead. His interception of Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley in the end zone was a key play in the fourth-ranked Sooners’ 34-10 win over the Volunteers on Saturday night.

Sanchez left Oklahoma’s previous game against Tulsa after taking a helmet to the shoulder, limiting his ability to handle contact against Tennessee. The interception was especially important to him because he felt he missed tackles while dealing with pain. “‘I had to make up for not being able to tackle tonight,� he said. “For me to make a play like that was huge for the momentum of the defense and making up for trying to tackle with one arm. Regardless, I should have made those tackles, so I had to

do something to redeem myself.�

Sanchez has intercepted five passes in his past six games, and he blocked a field goal in the opener against Louisiana Tech.

His run of interceptions started late last season, when he took his first career pick back 74 yards for a touchdown against Kansas State. Two games later, he intercepted Alabama’s A.J. McCarron in the Sugar Bowl and returned it 43 yards. He has picks this season against Louisiana Tech, Tulsa and Tennessee. “Maturing in the defense, maturing as a player on the field,� Sanchez said. “Kind of diving into film more than I did last year and understanding route concepts and offenses a little more and how they’ll attack me this year. That’s the biggest thing, just growing and getting older with experience.�

Sanchez had two tackles against Tennessee. He got up slowly a few times after contact but fought through it.

“He practiced all week, we just didn’t do any tackling drills with him,� Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “He’s done those so much through the years that he isn’t going to forget in a week. He practiced, so he was prepared to play.

He will be prepared next week.�

Sanchez should get plenty of action Saturday when the Sooners play at West Virginia. Mountaineers quarterback Clint Trickett passed for 511 yards in a win over Maryland on Saturday, and his team ranks fourth nationally in yards passing.

Sanchez doesn’t mind getting a lot of action. “Last year I didn’t want to get beat deep for big plays,� he said. “Now, they’re kind of trying me a little more. I’m making sure I’m more technically sound against the things they do when they come at me. I feel like I’ve handled it pretty well. I’ve just got to continue to get better each week. It’s always a growing thing when you’re The Sooners’ Zack Sanchez continues to light it up on the field in 2014. a DB.�

Fighting Irish still have plenty to improve upon INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Brian Kelly looks at Notre Dame’s perfect record and sees all those nasty flaws.

The high-powered offense isn’t operating exactly in sync. The stout defense that shut out Michigan is struggling with injuries. The injury rash is continuing and the little things are starting to pile up.

Kelly knows the only way to make another serious national championship run is to get things fixed between now, before the schedule gets a whole lot tougher. “We’re falling off a block here, we miss a fit there,� he said after Saturday night’s 30-14 victory over Purdue, Notre Dame’s first game in Indianapolis in 30 years. “Maybe it’s just the conti-

nuity took us a little bit longer. It’s nothing big, but it’s everything.�

Nationally, the perception may be that the Fighting Irish are starting to play the way they did two years ago when sophomore quarterback Everett Golsonled them to the BCS title game.

The outsiders see that unblemished record, 3-0, and realize it’s the first time Notre Dame has done that twice in a three-year span since they started 3-0 four straight times from 1987-90.

They see Golson back in charge of this offense after missing the 2013 season and believe he’ll bring back the magic.

They see a team that entered the weekend on the

cusp of cracking the top 10 and that may finally break through after No. 6 Georgia lost to No. 24 South Carolina and No. 9 Southern California lost to Boston College.

The stat sheet and game tape tell a different tale.

A week after dominating the Wolverines, Notre Dame struggled to pull away from Purdue, a team coming off a dismal loss to Central Michigan. Notre Dame gave up four sacks, averaged just 3.7 yards per carry, settled for three field goals when touchdowns could have put the game away early. Even Golson, who threw for 259 yards and two scores and rushed for a season-best 56 yards and the go-ahead touch-

down late in the first half, knows things aren’t exactly in sync. “There’s still things that we have to correct,� Golson said. “We have to execute better, obviously. We have to communicate better. It’s just a couple of things that we have to correct.�

But for Kelly, the most disconcerting part of the progression may be the one thing he can’t control: Injuries.

Receiver Amir Carlisle, an emerging playmaker, was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament and was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday. Kelly said Sunday he hopes Carlisle will be able to play against Syracuse Sept. 27 following

an off week. Reserve safety Nicky Baratti sustained a season-ending injury to his right shoulder. Starting cornerback Cole Luke sustained a concussion. And with five players still out, pending an academic investigation, and safety Austin Collinsworth still trying to fight his way back from a sprained right knee, Notre Dame’s secondary is starting to look awfully thin.

That’s a potentially dangerous combination given what lies ahead: Syracuse, Stanford, North Carolina and Florida State – all before November.

And if Notre Dame doesn’t get some of those guys back, the only solution Kelly has is to clean things up.

“It’s just not where we need to be,� Kelly said. “We’re going to keep working, keep grinding. We’ll get there, we’re just not there yet. We’re on the 3-yard line, we’re running a double-team into the B gap and we slip and fall. Somebody fires through the B gap. It’s just little things like that.

They’ve got to get cleaned up before we get to where we want to be offensively.�

Or where their fans expect them to be when the inaugural college playoff kicks off in January.

Note: Kelly said he talked Friday with several of the five players who were investigated for possible academic dishonesty and they had not yet had their honor code hearings.

WVU’s Anderson earns early season awards

Nick Holstein/the daily athenaeum

WVU’s Jordan Anderson goes up for a spike against Montana earlier this season.

by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Anderson of the West Virginia University volleyball team was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week this week.

The outside hitter has put in hard work for the Mountaineers in the tournaments they played this past weekend and in previous performances. Anderson is leading the team with 176 kills in 2014 and is averaging a league best of 4.86 kills per set.

While she has been earning points for her team

and honors for her trophy case, Anderson said she does not think about things like that while playing her game.

“Honestly, I don’t really think that much when I play, I just go out there and kind of do it,” Anderson said.

“I’m just happy to have this opportunity. My defense is doing great at passing the balls, and I’m blessed that Lamprini’s beside me to set me, so I can put the balls away so I can get awards like that.”

Aside from earning the Big 12 Player of the Week, Anderson earned MVP for the Mountaineer and Ni-

agara Invitational tournaments the last two weekends. She can’t lead the team in kills on her own, setter Lamprini Konstantinidou is helping her score every single time, something she said is very much needed.

“It’s very important, she has a great attitude about everything,” Anderson said. “She supports me no matter what, she listens to me if I need my sets lower and she’s willing to adjust.”

Konstantinidou was also named Rookie of the Week for the Big 12 two weeks ago.

Head coach Jill Kramer said this dynamic duo is

part of the key of their recent winning and are important to have on the court.

“They were both fifth in the country in assists and kills per set going into this past weekend,” she said.

“I do think they’ve done a really good job of beginning to connect more and more, and I think part of that comes with getting comfortable with communicating with one another, and understanding what ball Jordan can hit and when.”

Averaging 5.43 points per set, Anderson is contributing substantially to the pace of their sets and

scoring.

“I think for our team it’s always important for everyone to (play hard),” Kramer said.

“There’s no doubt that Jordan is a big part of our program, and as you can see, as we made changes everyone is an important part of the puzzle for us.”

In 2013, Anderson finished with 394 kills, the team best, and finished second in the Big 12 for kills per set with 3.94. After earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention, Big 12 AllFreshman Team, Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team, MVP at last year’s Mountaineer Invitational, three-

time Big 12 Rookie of the Week, Gold and Blue Invitational and Eagle Challenge All-Tournament Team honors last season, it might be safe to say that these early season honors for Anderson will not be the last.

Anderson finished at No. 49 nationally and No. 5 among all freshmen in kills per set in 2013. The way she is consistently hitting this year and the teamwork she has with Konstantinidou, will show at the end of the season the improvements made from last season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Vikings bring back Peterson despite abuse charge

ap photo

Vikings’ running back Adrian Peterson is expected to play in Week 3 of the NFL. EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – Star running back Adrian Peterson returned to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, insisting he is not a child abuser and wanting “everyone to understand how sorry I feel about the hurt I have brought to my child” after he was charged with a felony in Texas for using a wooden switch to spank his 4-year-old son.

The Vikings had benched Peterson for Sunday’s 30-7 home loss to the New England and he had not commented publicly since news broke Friday that he had lashed the boy with the switch earlier this summer, causing an unspecified injuries.

“I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband. I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser,” Peterson said in a nearly 500-word statement issued through his agency. “I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury.

“No one can understand the hurt that I feel for my son and for the harm I caused him. My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that’s what

I tried to do that day.”

Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf said they had decided to bring back Peterson for practices and Sunday’s game at New Orleans “after significant thought, discussion and consideration.” The Wilfs said they want to let the legal process play out before making any more definitive decisions on Peterson’s future with the only NFL team he has ever played for.

“To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child,” they said. “At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action.”

The Wilfs were not available for further comment on Monday but general manager Rick Spielman said they are going to leave the decision about whether Peterson crossed a line while disciplining his son up to the courts.

“We are trying to do the right thing,” Spielman said.

“This is a difficult path to navigate regarding the judg-

ment of how a parent disciplines his child. Based on the extensive information we have right now and what we know of Adrian not only as a person but what he’s done for this community, we believe he deserves to play while the legal process plays out.”

Peterson faces a charge of reckless or negligent injury to a child, which carries penalties of up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

His initial court appearance in Conroe, Texas, near Houston, was scheduled for Oct. 8.

Corporal punishment is legal in Texas and nondeadly force against a child by a parent or guardian is permissible. But the punishment is abusive if it causes injury. A blow that leaves a bruise, welt or swelling, or requires medical attention, could be judged abusive.

The guidelines also say use of an instrument “is cause for concern.”

Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said Peterson used a switch because that was the way he was brought up by his parents in Palestine, Texas, and the NFL star agreed in his statement. He was not available

to reporters.

“I have to live with the fact that when I disciplined my son the way I was disciplined as a child, I caused an injury that I never intended or thought would happen,” Peterson said. ‘I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.”

The Vikings decided not to play Peterson against the Patriots, moving swiftly after a week in which the NFL came under heavy scrutiny for its handling of a domestic violence case involving former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.

Spielman said the Vikings have seen files the authorities have built on Peterson’s case, including some photos of the injuries the boy sustained.

“The photos are disturbing. I understand that,” Spielman said. “But to be clear, any matter that’s involving the child is very important for this organization. But we also think it is right for him to go through the process legally.”

The Vikings clearly see Peterson’s case as different from the 2011 case involving former cornerback Chris Cook, who was accused of choking his girlfriend and charged with domestic assault. Cook was suspended by the team, reinstated with pay and then barred from all team activities, including games, while the legal process unfolded.

Cook wound up missing 10 games and was eventually acquitted. He never faced discipline from the NFL and played two more seasons with the Vikings before signing with the 49ers.

The Vikings also cut cornerback A.J. Jefferson last year, less than a day after he was arrested for domestic assault. But Spielman steadfastly denied the team’s decision on Peterson had anything to do with his status as one of the best players in the league and his ability to help the team win games.

‘It has nothing to do with him as a football player,” Spielman said. “It’s based purely on the facts that we have that have been presented to us.”

The NFL is looking into

Peterson’s case, and if convicted he could face a minimum six-game suspension under the league’s new domestic abuse policy that was implemented after Commissioner Roger Goodell admitted he botched Rice’s initial punishment.

Coach Mike Zimmer said he had input during deliberations, but ultimately it was ownership’s decision to let him play again.

“It’s important that when I ask these players to do the things I ask them to do, to fight for me, to run through the wall for me, that I’m able do my very best to help support them when I can,” Zimmer said.

The Vikings’ decision to reinstate Peterson came on the same day the NFL announced that three experts in domestic violence will serve as senior advisers to the league and help shape policies.

“I accept the fact that people feel very strongly about this issue and what they think about my conduct,” Peterson said. “Regardless of what others think, however, I love my son very much and I will continue to try to become a better father and person.”
