Prescription abuse rampant in W.Va.

By Ashley Tennant Correspondent

West Virginia University researchers recently published a study confirming West Virginia’s highest nation-wide prescription drug death rates.

The study, which was conducted by a team of researchers at WVU, investigated data from the West Virginia Controlled Substance Monitoring Program (WV CSMP), WVU Injury Control Research Center and drug related death data found in the Forensic Drug Database.

The article reporting the

research, “Doctor and Pharmacy Shopping for Controlled Substances,” appeared in an issue of “Medical Care” in June.

Marie Abate, professor at the WVU School of Pharmacy was one of the researchers who worked on the study.

Abate said doctor shoppers are those who go to various doctors’ offices for the sole purpose of getting prescriptions for controlled substances.

The study examined 698 adults categorized as deceased out of nearly one million sampled.

Doctor shoppers ac-

counted for around 25 percent of deceased adults, while nearly 17.5 percent of the deceased adults were pharmacy shoppers.

The study essentially shows that the people who died were more likely to be the doctor shoppers who obtained their medicine without being monitored accurately, she said.

“They may go to another doctor and get the same medicines or similar medicines for the purpose of either misusing or abusing drugs,“ she said.

Abate said no one is quite sure why West Virginia has

the highest drug death rate in the United States.

However, Abate said she believes it could be result from a number of issues.

“It may be because patients sell their medications to others as a way of getting money for themselves, or it’s just doctors are not prescribing the drugs correctly,” she said.

“It may be a combination of several things.”

Abate also said individuals from other states may be traveling to West Virginia for the purpose of buying and selling prescription drugs.

WVU SOJ launches new Main Street Mobile App City Editor

The West Virginia University Perely Isaac Reed School of Journalism is striving to overcome the digital divide as it moves forward and empowers rural communities in West Virginia.

The SOJ launched its Mobile Main Street app yesterday.

Mobile Main Street is a nonprofit project developed to pioneer multi-partner, community-based mobile media and to pilot new economic models for media via a networked, hyperlocal publishing system using all mobile tools.

“It is a mobile publishing tool, but it is so much more than that. This is designed to empower rural West Virginia to leapfrog the digital divide,” said Maryanne Reed, dean of the School of Journalism. “Mobile Main Street builds on our school’s rich tradition of civic engagement by adding yet another project.”

Mobile Main Street is a free, open-source system for community mobile publishing tailored to serve community media and community interest organizations.

The system is designed to be a flexible, cooperative publishing tool that can seed mobile literacy for

small businesses and media groups, nurture homegrown mobile networks and help fuel local mobile economic activity.

Team leader and Assistant SOJ Professor Dana Coester said she was excited to plant early adaptation seeds within the five pilot communities.

“A lot of people wonder why we are going to these rural communities without the infrastructure and technology and with all these challenges,” Coester said. “But early adaptation is a higher risk tool that reduces aversion to change.

“This whole process has been nothing but challenges – but that’s not a rea-

son to keep from doing it.”

Coester said she was excited for the change and empowerment the app has already created.

“I have great affection for Tucker County. When we held our first interest meeting, 10 businesses were present, and of those only two even had smartphones – some didn’t even have a webpage,” she said. “To me the story is that we now have 75 businesses, and some of them are tweeting up to 50 times a day.

“That’s something that wasn’t even on their radar a couple of years ago.”

West Virginia University’s College of Business and Economics has come together with 21 other institutions throughout the state to host its 10th annual Collegiate Business Plan competition.

After beginning in 2002, the competition will be statewide for the seventh year.

Steven Cutright, Director for WVU’s College of Business and Economics Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, said the competition gives students the opportunity to learn how to analyze business, how to write business plans and how to convey their ideas for the business they want to start.

“This is a great networking tool as well because students get to meet people throughout all the rounds,” said Office Administrator Tara St. Clair.

The competition gives any full-time student enrolled in a four-year college in West Virginia a chance to submit a proposal for a business start-up in the form of an executive summary and a business plan.

However, it is open to both graduate and undergraduate students, and those students who will be graduating in De-

cember are welcome to participate as well.

“Last year, we had 117 entries, and our goal is to have 120 entries throughout the 21 colleges statewide this year,” Cutright said.

Two separate tracks are offered for students: Innovation of Lifestyle, which is an open business competition form, and Hospitality and Tourism, which is style specific.

The competition consists of three rounds. The first round is a three-five page business summary that is due by noon Sept. 28.

A total of 60 judges will evaluate each plan online and reduce the number of contestants to 20 semi-finalists.

Once the 20 semi-finalists are selected, they then submit a 10 page feasibility study, which will take place Nov. 13 in Fairmont.

From that point those participants are judged and reduced to 10 finalists, who will submit a full business plan and will be judged the weekend of April 5 and 6 in Morgantown.

“The winner will receive a total of $10,000 plus an additional $5,000 worth of in-kind gifts,” Cutright said.

gram yet, but they want to combine all the states into one big program,” Abate said.

“It wouldn’t matter if one patient got a prescription filled for one medicine in Ohio or Pennsylvania because a pharmacist in West Virginia would be able to see that, which would be a big plus.”

Abate said the hope is to bring understanding to the state on the severity of prescription drug abuse.

In the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts, art students have an intimate – if not awkward – opportunity to study a respected part of art curriculum: nude figure drawing.

As part of the ART 211 class offered by the Art and Design department, nude models visit and pose for student sketches.

Usually, the paid nude models work for three hours at a time, and classes range between 15 and 20 students.

But according to art professor Dylan Collins, who teaches a section of the class, it’s not as awkward as it seems – for models and students alike.

“It’s a pretty standard art school thing,” he said. “It’s all about the understanding of the human body.”

The class is required for many students, but Collins believes the benefits of the class are innumerable.

“It’s about the body as a machine, so you really start to gain an intimate understanding of this thing that relates to all of us,” he said.

“Underneath different cloth-

ing, different colored skins or different nationalities, we’re really all incredibly the same.”

The classes usually meet twice a week for three-hour sessions, which means models may hold a pose for more than 45 minutes.

“Frankly, it’s hard work,” Collins said. “It makes me happy that they get paid well.”

Collins compared figure drawing to other still-life art.

Instead of a bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers, students are drawing a model.

“They’re kind of like a living still life,” he said. “They just happen to be a human object that lives, breathes and moves.”

Ashley Demotto is a junior intermedia student who is taking the class this semester.

“It’s definitely kind of awkward the first time, but now it just seems normal,” she said.

Demotto enjoys the class both for the experience and the professionalism involved.

“I’d never really tried drawing until this class,” she said. “But we take these

Obama team tries to lower expectations for debates COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign doesn’t want to talk about what the Democrat is doing to prepare for the fall debates with Republican Mitt Romney. But aides are readily setting expectations – and not surprisingly, they want to keep them low for Obama while raising the stakes for Romney.

“While Mitt Romney has done 20 debates in the last year, he has not done one in four years, so there certainly is a challenge in that regard,” Jennifer Psaki, Obama’s campaign spokeswoman, said of the president on Monday.

With Obama edging slightly ahead of Romney in public polling seven weeks from Election Day, the three October debates could be one of the Republicans’ best opportunities to break through with voters. But the high-profile events are just as crucial for Obama, who was an uneven debater during the 2008 Democratic primaries.

In that way, some of the Obama campaign’s tactical lowering of expectations is also rooted in the truth.

Aides say the structured – and time-limited – nature of the debates isn’t a natural fit for Obama, who often is long-winded when answering questions during news conferences or town hallstyle meetings.

The class is about figure drawing, and that’s what Demotto focuses on learning.

“That’s what we’re here to do: learn how the body proportions line up in numerous positions,” she said.

It might be tough work,

posely has been vague about how he is getting ready for the debates and aides refused to discuss details of his preparations publicly.

But those preparations are well under way. Obama has held multiple practice sessions, some with Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John Kerry, who is playing the role of Romney. One of the president’s practice spots is at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters a short drive from the White House.

Romney, on the other hand, has not hidden that he’s been in the midst of intense debate preparation since early September. That’s when aides announced that the GOP nominee would spend much of the week of the Democratic National Convention off the campaign trail huddling with advisers in private debate sessions.

Romney got started early in part to help him get accustomed to the one-onone format he’ll face next month. Most of his numerous debates during the GOP primary featured several other candidates.

The Republican nominee is doing timed, mock debates with Ohio’s Republican Sen. Rob Portman playing Obama. Longtime adviser Peter Flaherty is standing in as the moderator, asking questions about both domestic and foreign policy.

Top Romney advisers, including strategist Stuart Stevens, longtime aides Eric Fehrnstrom and Beth Myers, and senior adviser Ed Gillespie, then dissect the sessions.

Obama’s campaign has tried to use Romney’s intense public preparations to ramp up expectations for the Republican.

“We know that Mitt Romney and his team have seemed to prepare more than any candidate in modern history,” Psaki told reporters traveling with Obama in Ohio on Monday.

“They’ve made clear that his performing well is a makeor-break piece for their campaign.”

Among the locales Romney has picked for debate preps are a friend’s home in rural Vermont and a Marriott hotel in Burlington, Mass. Obama may also practice at the presidential retreat at Camp David, besides using DNC headquarters.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, has tried to tamp down expectations, too.

During a Friday night flight to Boston, Romney and Portman walked to the back of the airplane to offer birthday greetings to two reporters covering his campaign. “Can you tell us a little bit about debate prep?

How’s he doing?” a reporter asked Portman. The senator replied, “He’s doing great.” President Barack Obama speaks at a campaign event at Eden Park’s Seasongood Pavilion, Monday.

“In the past, students have gained a knowledge on how to startup a business, operate a business, make business-judgment decisions and good feasibility studies,” Cutright said. “It really gives them a full realm of a business evaluation and business startup capabilities.”

Cutright said he believes the competition is challenging but very rewarding.

“One of my favorite parts about this competition is working with the students and listening to their ideas,” Cutright said.

“Even though we can’t assist them in the formulation of their business plan at this point in time, we can listen to their questions and challenges.”

Cutright said he also hopes WVU will produce high-level innovative business ideas and encourage and attract participation of private industry throughout the state to support the winners.

but Demotto said he thinks modeling isn’t a complicated job.

“The model really has nothing to worry about, except to keep perfectly still at all times,” she said.

Although Demotto knows some people would never model nude, she stressed the experience is invaluable for students.

“I’m sure it is just as awk-

ward to pose nude for us as it is to draw you nude for three hours,” she said. “We really don’t pay much attention to the flaws or the beauty of the model’s body like they think we do.”

“Hopefully, we can be a top-50 rated school in the country and provide opportunities for students to pursue their goals as far as academic endeavors, as well as influence economic development initiatives throughout the state of West Virginia by having this business competition each year,” Cutright said.

– owners and publishers of “Two-Lane Livin,” a magazine based out of the rural Gilmer County community of Stumpstown – are among the five pilot communities for the app.

The Minneys serve as the monthly magazine’s only staff members, taking on all duties, including layout, publishing, advertising and delivering the publication to the 17 counties it covers.

Lisa Minney said the School of Journalism’s West Virginia Uncovered program approached her when the publication was only a year old.

Before the School of Jounalism approached her, Minney said she had never heard of a mobile app, manually entered all of her

posts on Twitter and used an outdated program to run her webpage.

“When they came to us, we were only a year old,” she said. “Now, five years later, we owe many, many of our publication’s successes and where we are today to WV Uncovered.”

Minney said “Two-Lane Livin’” plans to utilize the mobile app to promote its content and also to publish information vital to their own community.

Senior advertising student Lauren Draber first became involved with the program last year in Coester’s class.

Now, a year later, Draber has joined the team as the project coordinator, working on what she believes to be an extraordinary opportunity.

“The experience itself is phenomenal,” Draber said.

“This is something not a lot of students get their hands on.”

Coester said her ultimate goal is for West Virginia to become a leader in economic growth through moblie apps such as Main Street.

Democratic West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller said he believed the School of Journalism’s efforts through Mobile Main Street are vital to the state.

“Rural communities should have the same opportunities as urban ones.

That’s one of the most important lessons I learned when I first came to West Virginia as a VISTA volunteer in Emmons, West Virginia,” he said.

“I’m happy to see that West Virginia University not only recognizes that need but that they are taking steps to fully connect rural West Virginians through the Mobile Main Street program.”

Coester also announced a competition to find a sixth pilot community for the app.

‘Raising Hope’ returns to FOX for third season

Critically acclaimed sitcom ‘Raising Hope’ returns to FOX Oct. 2 for its third season.

by nick wesdock A&E writer

The star-studded cast of ‘Raising Hope’ returns with a few new faces for season three.

garret-dillahunt.net

With many new shows premiering this fall, it could be easy to forget about returning favorites. “Raising Hope� is one of these veteran programs, and the series enters its third season Oct. 2 at 8 p.m.

For those of you who are not familiar with the show, “Raising Hope� follows the life of a 23-year-old single dad named Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff ) who is trying to “raise Hope� (his daughter) with the help of his parents, who are delighted that they have a second chance at raising a child.

Along the way the Chances’ face some interesting problems.

From the series’ onset, the Chance’s have their struggles in taking care of Jimmy’s eccentric greatgrandmother, Maw Maw. “I love [my character] very much, and it’s very far out,� said Cloris Leachman, who plays Maw Maw. “I’m either sitting on the toilet saying, ‘It takes as long as it takes’ when people try to get me out of the bathroom, or I have no bra on at all, and I’m going out the front door and down the street.�

Season three will bring these old favorites to the

show along with new twists, including a guest appearance in the premiere episode from Golden Globe award-winner Melanie Griffith.

Griffith notes participating in the show is a grand opportunity, and her character’s personality is one that will have audiences hooked. “I’m so honored to be on ‘Raising Hope,’� Griffith said. “Tamara is a complete narcissist. Everything is about her.�

In the later episodes, things heat up when a family member moves out and the Chances’ prepare for the end of the world.

While these two events promise to provide a heavy dose of drama and sticky situations, no sitcom is complete without a love interest.

To accommodate where this is concerned, Shannon Woodward plays Sabrina Collins, Jimmy’s love interest.

Their relationship developed in season two of the series, but season three promises to show their dynamic and on-screen chemistry grow and progress even further.

Along with the impressive cast, “Rasing Hope� employs top-notch production, with Emmy Award-winning producer

Greg Garcia contributing for season three.

While Garcia is most well-known for his creation of the popular sitcoms “My Name is Earl� and “Yes, Dear,� he has also worked on classic comedy series like “Family Matters� and “Family Guy.�

With Garcia’s impressive resume on board, it is clear “Raising Hope� will face no shortage of comedy in season three.

All the name power in the world cannot make a series successful unless the actors and actresses buy into their parts, though, and “Raising Hope� has this element well under control.

The entire cast is excited to be filming again, especially Woodward, who says the show is an ideal job for a television actress. “This show is so much fun to do. I’m so lucky to be here,� Woodward said. “I couldn’t think of a better job.�

Combine the new cast members, the old cast members, the twists and the ever-expanding chemistry between characters, and there is plenty of potential waiting to propel “Raising Hope� to the top this season.

French court to rule on UK royal photos Tuesday NANTERRE, France (AP) — A French court was asked on Monday to halt further publication of topless photos of Prince William’s wife Kate.

After hearing arguments by lawyers for the British royal couple and for the popular French gossip magazine Closer, the court said it would rule at noon on Tuesday. The royal request was made after Closer printed 14 pictures of the partially-clad Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, in its pages last week.

On Monday, the Italian gossip magazine Chi – like Closer owned by Mondadori, the Italian publishing house owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi – published a 26-page spread of photos of Kate without her swimsuit top. An Irish tabloid published more Kate topless photos over the weekend, drawing a vow from Ireland’s justice minister to revise privacy laws there.

The photos in question show the Duchess of Cambridge relaxing during a holiday at a private villa in Provence, sometimes without her bathing suit top and, in one case, her suit bottom partially pulled down to apply sun screen.

William’s St. James’s Palace called the publications of the photos a “grotesque� invasion of the couple’s privacy. Lawyers for the royal couple argue that the photos amount to an invasion of privacy.

The royal couple’s lawyer, Aurelien Hamelle, told the French court Monday that he is seeking (EURO)5,000 ($6,550) in damages from

Closer and an injunction forcing the magazine to stop publishing the issue with the photos.

He also asked the court to fine Closer (EURO)10,000 ($13,100) a day for each day the injunction is not respected, and (EURO)100,000 ($131,000) if the photos are sold.

Closer lawyer Delphine Pando told the court that the photos are not theirs to sell. “We are not the owners of these photos,� she said. “The photos are out there. If a TV show wants to show an image of this (magazine) edition, it’s got nothing to do with us.�

That argument echoed the stance of the editor of Chi, the Italian magazine. Alfonso Signorini told The Associated Press over the weekend that he didn’t fear legal action since the photos are already in the public domain following Closer’s publication.

In addition to the injunction demand, St. James’s Palace said Sunday the family lawyers would file a criminal complaint against the unidentified photographer or photographers involved.

The palace said it would

be up to French prosecutors to decide whether to investigate and pursue a criminal case for breach of privacy or trespassing.

That second judicial action was not mentioned in Monday’s proceedings, and there was no mention of the name of the photographer or photographers who took the offending pictures. There was only reference to an “agency.�

Meanwhile, in Ireland, Justice Minister Alan Shatter said Monday that the country planned to introduce new privacy laws after the Irish Daily Star newspaper published the topless photographs of the princess. “It is clear that some sections of the print media are either unable or unwilling in their reportage to distinguish between prurient interest and the public interest,� said Shatter, who announced that Fancois Mori/AP previously abandoned proposals for privacy legislation Aurelien Hamelle, French lawyer for the British royal couple, arrives in court in Nanterre, on the outskirts of Paris, Monday. will be revived. “Sections of the print media believe that public figSTADIUM 12 ures are fair game and have University Town Centre (Behind Target) no right to privacy in respect .PSHBOUPXO t '"/%"/0(0 of any aspect of their lives,�

OPINION Texting ban needs enforcement 4

Tuesday September 18, 2012

You’re 23 times more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident if you text and drive.

In 2011, more than 20 percent of collisions involved the use cell phones – an average of 1.3 million accidents.

The largest demographic involved in these numbers are people in their late teens and early 20s.

The state issued a ban outlawing texting and driving in late June, and the City of Morgantown has

CONTACT US 304-293-5092 ext. 4 | DAperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

adopted measures to mirror state law in order to reduce the instance of texting and driving around the city.

The state has taken the law a step further in outlawing the use of cell phones while driving, and has also considered upping the ante by placing a ban on all handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle.

This would not only make talking or texting illegal, but would limit driv-

ers in using other electronic devices, including tablets and MP3 players.

If passed, West Virginia would join 10 other states and D.C. in implementing the all-encompassing ban.

But if a state has already banned texting and cell phone use while driving, how can it benefit from the expansion of an already stringent law?

The answer: enforcement.

While it’s nice to impose a ban on texting or talking, or even on cell phones, it’s

often difficult to discern the hazy line that separates these devices from others just as deadly in similar situations.

The only real way to ensure consistent protection for the community is to institute consistent enforcement.

If it sounds harsh, it probably sounds familiar, too – the same way your mother sounded when she scolded you for doing something you weren’t supposed to be doing and

then playing the “it’s for your own good” card.

And as unfair as it seemed at the time, most of us can look back and understand her reasoning for keeping you from doing something like playing in the road. And if you think about it even longer, you may realize the road is still dangerous.

Even if you don’t, just remember – it’s for your own good.

Romney-Ryan ticket bad news for students

AP

Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R- Wis., speaks during a campaign stop Monday in Des Moines, Iowa.

kirk auvil guest columnist

For many students, loans – along with scholarships and grants – are an essential part of affording a college education. After graduation and entry into the workforce, that debt begins to weigh heavily on them.

President Obama and his administration realized the burden this debt places on America’s youth and moved to ease interest rates for these student loans.

The Obama administration also took steps to ensure need-based Pell Grants keep pace with inflation and remain a source of opportunity for prospective students with little money of their own.

And now, Paul Ryan’s proposed budget would seek to undo these actions.

The Democratic-controlled Congress passed the Student Aid and Fis-

cal Responsibility Act (SAFRA), which designated the U.S. Department of Education as the sole originator of federally-backed student loans.

This eliminates some intermediary financial bodies that were increasing the interest rates on student loans beyond those rates required by the federal government. While this is an important part of SAFRA’s impact, it’s far from the whole picture.

SAFRA contains a laundry list of good stuff. It saves the government $68 billion over 11 years because the U.S. government no longer has to pay private banks to administer federal money. The Act invests these savings in community colleges as part of an effort to help these colleges retrain unemployed workers, thus providing them new job skills and giving them the ability to find gainful employment again.

The Act provides $36 billion in additional Pell

Grants and caps student loan interest rates so that students may finally be able to whittle their debt down to a manageable amount.

This last provision is particularly important considering the almost $1 trillion of outstanding student loan debt in the United States – the largest amount of consumer debt in America today.

So, surely, with this surfeit of benefits, Republicans would not seek to stamp out this flicker of hope for Americans audacious enough to seek higher education, right?

Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Congressman Ryan has railed against these measures and decried them at every turn.

He has said that in enacting SAFRA the Obama administration had the federal government “confiscate” the student loan industry.

Oddly, Gov. Romney supported the Obama administration’s exten-

sion of the lower interest rates, contrary to his running mate’s view. That said, Romney endorses his VP’s budget proposal that would effectively double student loan interest rates – maybe one of Romney’s policy guys needs to let him know.

Meanwhile, the 2012 Republican Platform states, “the federal government should not be in the business of originating student loans; however, it should serve as an insurance guarantor for the private sector as they offer loans to students.” Translation: the government should give our tax dollars to the banks so that they may then issue student loans at comically high interest rates, with no risk because the loans are backed by the federal government.

So, Republicans are asking to borrow your car to rent it to someone else, and if that person wrecks it, it’s your responsibility to get it fixed.

In addition to the caps

on student loan interest rates, there’s another albatross just waiting for Republicans to kill. It’s called College Cost Reduction and Access Act, and it was passed in 2007 by the Democratic-controlled Congress.

Instead of paying the standard repayment rate, which can prove extremely unforgiving to those just starting out in their careers, this act stipulated that students may also make income-adjusted payments of 15 percent of their discretionary incomes for up to 20 years.

If the loans are not repaid after this time, borrowers may petition to have their student loan debts forgiven. That timetable is drastically shorter for teachers and nonprofit workers, who may see their student loan debts forgiven after five or ten years, respectively.

Again, Ryan opposes these debt-forgiveness measures. His budget would do away with in-

Letter to the editor Thank you, students Here is a great big thankyou to all the West Virginia University students who participated in Operation Christmas Child this past year. This thank you comes from the millions of children around the world who received the shoeboxes that

you packed and from the Morgantown Area Operation Christmas Child Team.

Last year, we collected 8,455 shoeboxes in the Morgantown area, 103,000 in the state of West Virginia, and 8.6 million in the United States and internationally. Since 1993 we have delivered over 94 million shoe box gifts for needy children in more than 130

come-adjusted payments and all of that debt forgiveness nonsense. His plan also takes some shots at Pell Grants, as it changes them from mandatory to discretionary spending, which would make future cuts to the program possible. His plan would also prevent Pell Grants from increasing with inflation while simultaneously changing eligibility requirements so that fewer people could receive them.

Economics is based around the theory that people are rational actors and respond to incentives.

This election will put that principle to the test, because when it comes to their treatment of students, the two campaigns could not lie further apart.

As students – whatever your political beliefs may be – understand exactly what it is you will be voting for this November and who is on your side when it comes to financing your education.

daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu countries. This year is an exciting year for us, as we will have delivered over 100 million shoeboxes.

Operation Christmas Child reaches far beyond the moments of joy a child experiences while opening a shoe box gift. In fact, God is transforming lives through Operation Christmas Child and cultivating a generation of children

who rise above their circumstances to give back to others. Here is one of their stories.

First Gift Ever Cal State student Huda still vividly remembers the excitement she felt when someone handed her that special shoe box gift at a small church in Zarqa, Jordan. He father was out of work at the time, and life

was extremely difficult for the family. The last thing 9-year-old Huda expected was to be on the receiving end of an act of kindness from someone whom she had never even met. Now, she is thrilled to have the ability to share that same act of kindness with other needy kids.

Thank you again for the time and effort that you

gave to this wonderful project. If any students, dorms, sororities, fraternities or other WVU organizations want more information about this wonderful service project, please contact me.

123 Pleasant Street set to get funky

mardigrasroadshow.wordpress.com

Modern funk group Dumpstaphunk brings its lineup of experienced veteran musicians to 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

Dumpstaphunk is led by world-renowned multi-instrumental musician Ivan Neville.

by hunter homistek ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

Critically acclaimed funk outfit Dumpstaphunk is primed to storm the 123 Pleasant Street stage tonight at 10 p.m.

Led by world-renowned multi-instrumental musician Ivan Neville, Dumpstaphunk boasts a lineup that can only be described as exceptional.

“The Neville family has funk in their veins,” said Adam Payne, event promoter. “Ivan’s father, Aaron, is a Grammy Award-winning artist and founder of the notorious group The Funky Meters.

Ivan will show you how he didn’t miss a beat with the

family music genes.”

Considering his father’s success, Neville certainly had a set of Sasquatchsized footsteps to follow, but he has achieved greatness in the music business through his relentless attitude and pitch-perfect ear.

Among the acts Neville has either recorded or performed with are The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt and John Mayer, and he will bring this experience and refined stage presence with him tonight to 123.

While Neville provides a rock-solid foundation for the group, Dumpstaphunk will showcase a new drummer tonight in female protege Nikki Glaspie.

Like Neville, Glaspie has

dumpstaphunk.posterous.com

performed with some of the world’s best musicians, including Beyonce, Cee Lo Green and Kanye West.

“She (Glaspie) is good enough to drum for as big a star as Beyonce, so you know she’s got a lot of respect in the music business,” Payne said.

Along with Glaspie and Neville, Dumpstaphunk features a double-bass attack of Nick Daniels and Tony Hall on bass and Ivan’s cousin Ian Neville on rhythm guitar.

Neville handpicked this group of musicians, and the results are stellar.

Vocal harmonies, groovy funk beats and hammering, punchy drums make up a sound that is 100 per-

dumpstaphunk.posterous.com

New to Dumpstapunk’s lineup is drummer Nikki Glaspie, who has worked with big names like Beyonce and Cee Lo Green. cent funk and 100 percent original, and this is what sets Dumpstaphunk apart from most of today’s musical acts.

There is real talent to be found in the group, and each perfectly crafted song makes this fact evident.

What originally started for Neville as a side project is now widely considered one of New Orleans’ most prestigious modern funk ensembles – and such notoriety can only be achieved through excellence.

“If you want pure funk, you have to go to New Orleans, and this band is one of the funkiest bands New Orleans has to offer,” Payne said.

Supporting Dumpstaphunk tonight is Morgantown, W.Va., funk rock group Aristotle Jones and the Like Minds.

Like Dumpstaphunk, Aristotle Jones and the Like Minds is led by a sensational power in the musical business in Aristotle Jones.

Jones traveled throughout Appalachia in his quest to deliver a unique blend of funk, rap and acoustic soul to the masses before finally finding a steady supporting group in bassist Justin Bricker, drummer Nicholas Filippelli and multi-instrumentalist Drew Jones to form the Like Minds.

Now, the group comes to 123 Pleasant Street to

showcase its versatile style that sees the band seamlessly transition from soulful rhythm and blues to powerful blues-inspired rock ‘n’ roll to funky hiphop, without missing a beat.

This considered, Aristotle Jones and the Like Minds is the perfect match to warm up the stage for the funk phenomenon that is Dumpstaphunk.

Tonight’s show begins at 10 p.m., and tickets can be bought online at www. showclix.com for $15.

Tickets bought at the door are $20, and concertgoers must be at least 18 years old to attend. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

Emmy-nominated stars share their favorite TV shows LOS ANGELES (AP) — Long before Kevin Costner, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks and Nicole Kidman were Emmy nominees, they were kids who loved watching TV. “I liked `Man from Uncle’ and `High Chaparral,’” Costner said. “I really, really liked that when I was a kid.”

“I remember the transition from black-and-white to color,” continued Costner, who is nominated as both star and producer of the TV movie “Hatfields & McCoys.” “It like one by one the televisions in my neighborhood became color TVs and we would all go look at each other’s color TVs and ooh and aah at `Bonanza.’

I’m kind of glad I saw it all, in a way. I remember the TV

would shut off at 11 and just play the national anthem all night long.”

Cranston, who is nominated for his role on “Breaking Bad” – which won him the Emmy Award three years in a row, grew up on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

“I love the character of Barney: Classic comic character of the absolute confident man with no ability whatsoever. Always funny.

The calm and comforting tones of Andy Griffith, who we lost recently,” the actor said. “I think there was just something very sweet and comforting about watching that show, and the simplicity of the lifestyle and a days-gone-by kind of thing.”

Hendricks, nominated for the third consecutive

time for her supporting role in “Mad Men,” said her alltime favorites were “MASH” and “Northern Exposure.”

“Both of them had a sense of real community and camaraderie among the cast, a sense of friendship in this world that I remember responding to,” she said.

Mayim Bialik of “The Big Bang Theory” was also a “Northern Exposure” fan.

“They had every kind of possible character,” said the actress, who remembered watching the show while starring on “Blossom.” “I would have loved to be anything on `Northern Exposure,’ but mostly Rob Morrow’s love interest.

That would have been my choice. “ Kidman, a first-time

Emmy nominee for her lead role in the TV movie “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” said she was raised on “The Brady Bunch” and “Bewitched.”

“Growing up in Australia, the miniseries was such a big, big thing. It was something that launched my career because I did miniseries in Australia,” she said.

“I did a thing called `Bangkok Hilton’ and one called `Vietnam,’ which was on the Vietnam War in the `60s and was a hugely rated show.

That was my big break, really, as an actor.”

Sarah Paulson, nominated for her supporting work in the TV movie “Game Change,” loved “Who’s the Boss?”

“Angela and Tony were

who I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to have that relationship,” she said.

“I watched a lot of television growing up and they were like my surrogate parents.

Angela and Tony. I loved `em.”

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Maya Rudolph and Zooey Deschanel were all fans of “The Cosby Show.” Ferguson and Rudolph even dreamed of joining the family.

“It felt very familiar,” the “Modern Family” actor said, “and I wanted desperately to be a part of that family.”

Rudolph, nominated for hosting “Saturday Night Live,” said if she were to join the show, “I would have to be a fictional cousin, because I don’t think they

needed any more children.

I don’t think the Huxtables needed any more children.

But, listen, if Denise needed a best friend to go shopping with, that’s who I would be.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a 14time Emmy nominee and two-time winner, wants to bring back her favorite show from childhood: “Flipper.”

“Talking dolphin. How can you beat it?” she said.

“Well, sort of talking. It communicated. A dolphin who beats the bad guy every week. I think we should redo that. I think I’m going to pitch that. That’s my new HBO show: `Flipper: Part II.’” The Primetime Emmy Awards will be presented on Sept. 23 at the Nokia Theatre and broadcast live on ABC.

NEW YEAR, NEW ATTITUDE

Nick Arthur Assoicate Sports editor

Questions about WVU still to be answered

Senior inside receiver Tavon Austin and the West Virginia offense are coming together in their second year under the direction of head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Matt Sunday/The Daily Athenaeum

Austin, Mountaineers more confident in second year of offense by cody schuler managing editor

When West Virginia hired head coach Dana Holgorsen, fans expected his high-powered offense to immediately produce eye-popping statistics.

Though the first year of his tenure did see a drastic improvement from past seasons, it was nothing like what fans are seeing in year two.

Senior inside receiver Tavon Austin said he feels the Mountaineers’ have fallen into a positive groove as a result of knowing what to expect out of each other after completing a season in the scheme.

“I mean, we’re definitely clicking. Last year, like we said, the Orange Bowl – that’s definitely when we came together as a team and we (realized) all the weapons that we had,” Austin said. “So the only thing we had to do was piece it up.

“The coaches always told us the second year was going to be our best year – the first year we’d kind of struggle a little bit.

“So, now, we’re just coming together as a team, and we’re ready to roll.”

This does not come as a surprise to quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital, who sees the Mountaineers’ offensive success as simply the byproduct of having a year of experience in the potent “Air-Raid” offense.

Spavital believes West Virginia’s elimination of slow starts is a result of being more familiar with the offensive scheme and knowing who the team’s playmakers are.

“If you remember last year, we were down at halftime to Norfolk State, and a lot of it is (that) it’s year two of the offense and we know what to expect of certain people,” he said.

“There was a lot of un-

knowns going into the season last year, but now we know who’s going to step up and who’s not going to step up,” he said. “Our adjustments happen a lot quicker, and it doesn’t take a couple of drives to get over the adversity.

“We can get to the sideline, re-gather our thoughts, go out there and just execute.”

A big part of that execution is a result of the cool play of senior quarterback Geno Smith. Spavital said Holgorsen’s system helps to bring the best out of every player, including the quarterback.

“Dana does a great job, obviously, of just his system and the way the quarterbacks are handled and how they go out there and operate,” he said.

“It’s pretty simple; it seems complicated when you’re first going through it – which most people’s heads

are going to be spinning the first year in the offense – but now (Smith has) seen everything.”

In the 42-12 victory over James Madison, Smith adjusted to the ever-changing defense of the Dukes and found a way to lead the Mountaineers into the end zone without skipping a beat – something that impressed Spavital.

“He knows the calls; he knows what Dana’s thinking. We’re not throwing any curveballs at him like we did last year at times,” he said.

“But it’s good to see that we had some adversity and we got over it really quick and he executed and he drove us down and scored.”

Spavital believes Smith’s love of the game has helped thrust him into a rare orbit.

With his performance in the James Madison game, Smith passed Marc Bulger as the program’s all-time leading passer.

“Nothing really phases the kid. He never gets too high, he never gets too low – he loves to play the game,” Spavital said.

“If you noticed when we had that goal line stand, Geno was out there in the middle of the pile celebrating with the defense. He just loves to be a part of the game, and he lives for it.”

Redshirt freshman Dante Campbell caught his first career touchdown pass in the win. He said the team has the utmost confidence in Smith and believes he has not yet reached his pinnacle as a passer.

“We have so much confidence in him,” he said.

“He’s a great quarterback, and every day he wants to get better. He’s not settling where he’s at.

“He knows that every day is a chance to get better, and he takes advantage of it.” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s Silva beginning to find rhythm by robert kreis sports writer

Entering this season, West Virginia women’s soccer forward Frances Silva knew head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown was going to rely heavily on her to create an offensive attack and more specifically, score goals.

Silva failed to register a goal three matches into the season but was the Mountaineers’ savior in the fourth game against then No. 1 Stanford.

The junior scored the game’s only goal against The Cardinal, and propelled West Virginia to a win against the number one team in the country.

But after the Stanford game, Silva sputtered offensively, and as Silva struggled, so did the Mountaineers.

Silva did not score a goal during the next four games. Every one of those four games was a double overtime match for the Mountaineers. Three ended in ties while one ended with a loss. West Virginia struggled offensively in each game of the stretch, and registered only five goals total.

With their nonconference schedule winding down and the inaugural Big 12 season on the horizon, Silva had to become an offensive spark for the Mountaineers, and this weekend, the Overland Park, Kan., native did just that.

The forward scored two goals Friday against Towson and tacked on two more scores Sunday against High Point.

“Frances is very impor-

Junior forward Frances Silva scored four goals in two matches over the weekend. tant to us, and sometimes forwards need to break through some things,” Izzo-Brown said. “She has struggled finishing some opportunities early on for us, but now, her breaking out of this is really cool, because she can finish anything.

“It is great. She has done it these last two games.”

Silva is joined at the forward position by sophomore Kate Schwindel and freshman Kelsie Maloney.

While Schwindel leads the Mountaineers offensively, recording a team-high 17 points, it is vital Silva continue to be that No. 2 scoring threat.

“I think it takes a lot of pressure off of Schwindel, and it helps our team win,” Silva said. “I think good

teams force you to have more than one (scoring option).”

Alongside Schwindel and Silva, freshman forward Kelsie Maloney looks to be a scoring threat as the Mountaineers enter Big 12 Conference play next weekend. The trio looks to complement each other and make defenses wary of their scoring abilities.

“It is important to take the pressure off each other,” Silva said. “It helps to spread the attention.

People have to focus on all three of us, and it makes the other team a lot more vulnerable.”

To attack the defense’s vulnerability, the West Virginia forwards will use the element of surprise.

“I think the three of us are so dynamic it makes their defense tough to stay with us,” Schwindel said.

“We are unpredictable sometimes, and I think that is one of our greatest qualities up top, because they never know what’s coming.”

However they do it, Izzo-Brown just wants to see Silva and her forwards score goals.

While Silva may have struggled early in the year, Izzo-Brown feels putting the ball in the back of the net is no small task.

“It’s not easy playing forward, and (Silva) is doing what she can control,” Izzo-Brown said. “I believe in her.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Tucked inside the FedEx Field press box while the scoreboard indicated 12:57 remaining in the fourth quarter, I had a realization I thought I would never have inside a 90,000 seat sporting arena – I was bored.

I wasn’t bored because my view was slightly obstructed by a bar separating two windows directly in front of me or because those tasty mini cupcakes served during halftime had already been removed from the complimentary media food section of the box.

I was bored because what I was seeing on the field was something I had already seen this season and last January.

It was like viewing a movie you had already seen again and again.

Even more, it was like watching a movie with that one friend who always reveals the outcome and spoils your fun.

The No. 7 West Virginia football team held a 42- 5 lead over an inferior opponent, and the starters had been relegated to the sidelines and forced watch the remainder of the action, much like me.

Now, don’t get me wrong - watching the Mountaineers tally 70, 69 and 42 points, respectively, in each of their last three games has been some of the most exciting and indescribable chain of events these eyes have ever witnessed, in terms of sports.

A quick trip to the restroom would cost one the opportunity to see multiple scoring plays.

But, early in the fourth quarter against James Madison Saturday, I had seen all I needed to see from the West Virginia football team against the Dukes.

We knew quarterback Geno Smith was better than he was a year ago. We knew the offensive line was one of the best to put on a West Virginia uniform in recent years.

In fact, the unit hasn’t allowed a sack since Dec. 1, 2011 – 292 days and 242

Holgorsen wants rivalry against NFL replacement officials taking heat Maryland to continue in the future by greg madia multimedia editor

It’s not generally thought of as one of the No. 7 West Virginia football team’s biggest rivalries, but the border war between West Virginia and Maryland has been played 48 total times since 1919.

The schools sit less than 200 miles apart. Currently, the Mountaineers hold a six-game win streak over the Terrapins. Last season, WVU was able to hold off Maryland 37-31 in College Park.

With the Mountaineers now a member of the Big 12, it is vital West Virginia has a nonconference opponent from a “BCS” conference that geographically makes sense. WVU will play the Terrapins through 2017, which includes next year’s game at M&T Bank Stadium, the home of the Baltimore Ravens.

“This is the one existing (historically significant) game that is going to be continued to be played,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “I’ve made reference to this a lot as far as the nonconference schedule having to be very regional.”

Holgorsen also understands this rivalry holds significant meaning for the players. West Virginia has ten players on the roster who come from the state of Maryland. The fact Holgorsen’s staff and the Maryland staff go after the same players in recruiting also makes the game that much more significant.

“We have a dozen or so guys from Maryland that know a lot of their players.

We go up against Maryland in recruiting a lot, so there is a lot of familiarity between the two programs, and that will continue to exist,” Holgorsen said.

Patrick Gorrell/The Daily Athenaeum

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen would like the Mountaineers’ rivalry with Maryland to continue after this season.

In a talent rich area throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., one player WVU missed in this recruiting class was Olney, Md. native Stefon Diggs, who now plays for Maryland.

Diggs, a true freshman,

had offers from more than 20 schools, but he elected to go to Maryland over WVU. He now starts for Maryland and is drawing comparisons to another Maryland native, West Virginia senior inside receiver Tavon Austin.

“He’s a tremendous re-

turn guy,” Holgorsen said.

He’s a lot like Tavon (Austin) is. He’s their number one return guy. He’s the receiver they get the ball to in a variety of ways. We’re going to have to contain him.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

(AP) - One official was pulled from duty because he’s a fan. Another negated a touchdown without ever throwing a penalty flag.

Several others had difficulty with basic rules.

Upon further review, Week 2 was a poor one for the NFL’s replacement officials.

Coaches and players around the league are losing patience and speaking out against the fill-in officials following a slew of questionable calls in Sunday’s games.

Some players are even joking about dipping into their own pockets to settle the contract dispute and get the regular officials back on the field immediately.

“I don’t know what they’re arguing about, but I got a couple of (million) on it, so let’s try to make it work,” Washington defensive back DeAngelo Hall said, kiddingly, on Monday. “I’m sure the locker room could pot up some cash and try to help the cause out.”

The NFL locked out the regular officials in June after their contract expired. Negotiations with the NFL Referees Association broke down several times during the summer, including just before the season, and the league is using replacements for the first time since 2001.

The results have been a mixed bag.

Just hours before kickoff Sunday, the NFL removed side judge Brian Stropolo

from the New OrleansCarolina game because it was discovered he’s a Saints fan.

And then came the onfield problems.

In Philadelphia’s 24-23 win over Baltimore, two game-altering calls left quarterback Joe Flacco and linebacker Ray Lewis fuming. It appeared on replay both calls were accurate as is. But that didn’t make it any less controversial.

Flacco’s scoring pass to receiver Jacoby Jones in the fourth quarter was called back because of offensive pass interference.

The official who made the call didn’t throw the yellow flag, though he immediately signaled a penalty.

“I might sound like a little bit of a baby here,” Flacco said. “But for them to make that call, I think, was a little crazy.”

There was confusion later on during Philadelphia’s go-ahead drive. First, the two-minute warning occurred twice. Then, quarterback Michael Vick’s forward pass was called a fumble inside the Ravens 5.

It was ruled incomplete following a replay, and Vick scored on the next play after a few anxious moments.

“It’s extra stress when you have to sit there and wait,” Vick said. “The one thing you don’t want to do, you don’t want to put the game in the officials’ hands.”

Lewis, like many players around the league, has seen enough.

2012 version of the Mountaineers that a 42-5 game against an FCS opponent Continued from page 7 can’t answer.

I want to know if this team is capable of overcoming adversity; something it hasn’t faced yet this season and has struggled to deal with in games last season.

These are questions that won’t be answered until West Virginia opens Big 12 play in two weeks and experiences its first true road game the first Saturday of October in Austin, Texas.

Coming into the season, the common question among fans was if the offensive outburst in the Orange Bowl was a fluke or a sign of things to come.

The Mountaineers have already proven they are capable of scoring 70 points each game, as crazy as the sounds.

However, in order for other questions to be answered about this top 10 football team, we’re going to have to wait a few more weeks.

And with West Virginia already slated as a four-touchdown favorite against Maryland in Morgantown this weekend, it looks like we’re going to have to deal with a little more boredom first. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

No. 21 WVU gaining momentum before first MAC game by amit batra sports writer

As the No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team gears up for its first conference opponent, the teams’ complete showing against American was a promising sign for success.

Passing was as good as ever for the Mountaineers against a solid American squad. WVU remains undefeated at home through its four home games. The offense is coming together for West Virginia.

West Virginia has put an extra emphasis on getting the first goal of the game.

In most cases, the first goal will seal the deal.

“It’s always good getting the first goal,” said senior midfielder Uwem Etuk, following the win over American. “My teammates are always running, so it’s easy to get them touches. As long as we get a win, we’re happy about it.”

On Saturday night, fans got a glimpse of just how much potential this squad has. It was almost a picture-perfect showing.

“The football was excellent; the passing was excellent,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We had a good week to kind of get ready for them.

tyler herrinton/the daily athenaeum

The No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team has scored six goals in its last two games.

“We spent a good amount of time on our match analysis on how many touches the guys are getting. We are trying to make the commitment to get them in the right areas.”

The passing and resilient attack got the Mountaineers a 19-3 advantage with shots Saturday night.

The Mountaineers also won the corner kick advantage 10-1.

With WVU clicking more each game, LeBlanc felt comfortable giving multiple players a good chunk of time on the field.

“Last year, I told the media that team was the

deepest I ever had,” LeBlanc said. “This is the deepest team I’ve ever had.

More so now where I can make changes that actually change the game.”

With WVU scoring the

first goal in each of the last two games, it puts itself in good positions to hold on for three points because of the constant attack.

“We got the first goal in the last game, too,” LeBlanc added. “It took us four minutes to score in that one; it took us a little bit longer tonight. It wasn’t due to a lack of effort or lack of chances.

We were really focused on shutting them down. The aggressiveness was important.”

The Mo u n t a i n e e r s never looked back after getting the first goal of the game from senior defender Eric Schoenle. The All-American leads the West Virginia squad with two goals at this point in the season. Eight different Mountaineers have scored goals.

If the passing, attack and scoring opportunities are there, the Mountaineers are in good position to make some noise in the next month when the Mid-American Conference games get underway.

WVU prepares to face its first conference opponent Florida Atlantic, Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

women’s soccer

Schwindel leads offensive charge over weekend

By Shea Ulisney Sports writer

The West Virginia women’s soccer team is proud to have sophomore forward Kate Schwindel on the field.

After a record-setting weekend, Schwindel has been named to the 11-player TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week.

She has also been named West Virginia University’s Athlete of the Week for her efforts in wins this weekend against Towson and High Point University.

In those matches, Schwindel totaled three goals and four assists while tying two school records.

In Sunday’s game against High Point, Schwindel scored two goals – the first multi-goal game of her career – and three assists, including the game-winning helper. Her three assists in a game tied the school record, as she became only the fourth player to do so.

S c hw i n d e l’s seven points tied a single-game record. Ashley Banks was the last player to do this ,with three goals and one assist in a game against Georgetown in 2007.

Schwindel recorded her fourth career one-goal and one-assist match against Towson Sept. 14. She scored her second game winner of the season and fourth of her career against the Panthers.

The sophomore is beginning to rack up quite the accolades, and the talented forward has gained a lot of respect from her head coach.

“She creates a lot of opportunities for us, and when that kid makes her mind up she can do damage,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “I can’t say enough about how hard Kate (Schwindel) works out there. So it’s almost not surprising to us as a coaching staff to see her put up these numbers.”

Schwindel joined the program in 2011, made 22 starts as a true freshman and was named the Big East Conference Rookie of the Year.

As a freshman, she made the Soccer America AllFreshman Second Team, All-Big East Second Team and Big East All-Rookie Team. She was also voted the team’s most improved player.

Schwindel began breaking records in 2011, when she scored the fastest goal in school history in a win against Georgetown, only 55 seconds into the game.

She led All-Big East rookies in points (15) with five goals and five assists in league play, and her 19 points, six goals and seven assists tied her for thirdmost by a freshman in school history.

In January 2012, Schwindel was called to training camp with the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team.

She is one of nine forwards in the 30-person training camp who will play two 60-minute scrimmages against Shanghai Women’s Football Club of China Jan. 12 and 18, 2013.

The U.S. U-20s are preparing for qualifying for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. This season, the sophomore leads the team in goals (7) and assists (4) for a total of 18 points so far this season.

Who can forget the game-winning goal Schwindel scored in the 83rd minute in West Virginia’s first season win against Western Carolina, 2-1?

And yet, after all the achievements to her name, Schwindel still sees room for improvement.

“I think it’s only going to get better from here,” Schwindel said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
