Solar team competes in California

By AlYSSA PLUCHINO Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

During the summer, a team of West Virginia University students built a solar log house on the Evansdale Campus. Now, the team has disassembled and transported the house more than 2,000 miles to rebuild it for the 2013 Solar Decathlon. This unique competition includes of 20 collegiate teams selected from around the world.

The WVU team consists of students from different disciplines, including those who are enrolled in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism and the College of Business & Economics.

Despite the fact many of these students had never even used a power tool before, the team successfully built an innovative home that relies on natural re-

sources to control temperature while also featuring a smart home system that utilizes sensors.

“Our biggest challenge when constructing (and reconstructing) the house is that it is completely student-driven,” said Drew Carrier, a senior from Martinsburg, W.Va., who joined the team in the spring semester. “If a problem or issue arises, it is solely up to us to find a quick, safe SUBMITTED

Local after school program seeks new volunteers bY kaity wilson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Center for Service and Learning is seeking enthusiastic teachers and volunteers to bring their time and talent to the Kaleidoscope Community Learning Center in Monongalia County.

Kaleidoscope is an after school program for students in third through fifth grades and has six elementary sites throughout the county.

The program is always looking for volunteers, and college students are an excellent addition to Kaleidoscope, according to Julia Hamilton, the program’s operations specialist.

WVU named to Military Friendly list for fifth consecutive year

The Mountaineer Maniacs will host two special events today to celebrate the West Virginia University men’s soccer game against Penn State tonight.

At noon, the Maniacs will host the first ever Soccer Chalk Talk with Marlon LeBlanc, the head coach of the men’s soccer team.

Coach LeBlanc will talk to students about the game against Penn State and hand out free pizza to those in attendance.

“The Chalk Talk is a great way for students to get an inside look at tonight’s big game against Penn State,” said Chris Northrup , Maniac executive director. “I encourage students to come out for free lunch and get excited for the game.”

At tonight’s game, the first 100 Maniacs will receive free pizza and a pair of Maniacs sunglasses.

The after school program offers a variety of creative and interesting classes for students, including Reading Explorers Club, JUMP Math, French, Spanish, music, science, arts and craft, and recreation. The mini classes usually run 30 minutes and vary from site to site.

Students are also offered homework help and a snack during the program.

West Virginia University currently serves as a temporary home to more than 800 veterans, military personnel or their dependents.

G.I. Jobs magazine has named WVU a Military Friendly School for the fifth consecutive year.

“I guess the definition (is) how (a university) cares about their student veterans’ dependents and service members on a daily basis, defines how well or not a military friendly institution will be,” said Jerry McCarthy, WVU interim veterans advocate. “I would simply say that we offer the opportunities for success through education for somebody who’s served or is currently serving in the military.”

WVU began to offer special services for veterans in 2004 and is today ranked as the No. 18 “Best for Vets” college by Military Times.

With hundreds of veteran students enrolled, WVU is continually striving to expand the programs and services it offers.

Just in the past year, close to 20 new projects and services have been introduced, including classes designed specifically for veterans in English and math.

In addition, the game is on Club Sports Night and all club sports teams are encouraged to attend. Team members can sign in upon entering the stadium. The three teams with the highest level of attendance will receive Qdoba gift cards.

At half time, members of club sports teams will compete in a burrito eating contest.

“Tonight’s game features a historical WVU rival and playing a border state always makes for a fun atmosphere,” Northrup said. “It’s our job as students to get out to the soccer stadium and be loud and proud Mountaineers.

“We can create such an intimidating environment and make Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium a nearly impossible place to play for visiting teams.”

University to implement Single-Stream recycling program on campus by aly pluchino staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University is continuing to go green as Single-Stream recycling will be implemented on campus to increase recycling among students and staff.

Facilities Management is replacing the University’s old recycling system with the SingleStream program not only to help simplify the process of recycling for students and staff, but to benefit the University in many other ways, as well.

vation specialist for facilities management, said the University currently uses source separated recycling methods.

“This means the user walks up to a recycling station and right at that location separates the recyclables that they have, so they put plastic in one, paper in another and aluminum in another,” Knabenshue said.

“Single-Stream recycling means that all the recycling materials can actually be put together in one bin, so it’s an easier way to recycle and the users don’t have to know specifically as much about what is able to be recycled.”

BANNED BOOKS This week marks Banned Books Week and WVU is recognizing it with events for students.

A&E PAGE 6

Students and staff are still encouraged to separate trash from recyclables, but with the new system, a larger variety of items will be able to be accepted for recycling.

“Right now on campus, we can only do number one plastic, but once we roll out SingleStream, we’ll be able to take plastics numbered 1-7, glass and steel soup cans,” Knabenshue said.

Although the program has not yet been set in full motion, over the course of the next two semesters students and staff can expect to start seeing the Single-Stream program ap-

pearing on campus.

Morgantown implemented the system in January, saw a significant increase in its recycling percentage and found the program to be a great success.

“They did 78 tons of recycling in 2012, and from January to August of this year, they did 581 tons of recycling,” Knabenshue said. “That is probably primarily because of the ease of use of it.”

Not only will the program help the University recycle, but it will also be financially beneficial by cutting labor cost.

The facility will be selling

the sorted products such as whole sale plastics and cardboards. A percentage of these sales will be given back to the University as a rebate.

“That will help off-set the costs of running the program,” Knabenshue said. “It’s a time of budget cuts here at the University, and the cost savings are a really important thing for us.”

The transition is going to be coming to buildings around campus soon, and the Facilities Management office will give updates when SingleStream Recycling will be put into effect.

There will also be a new re-

It’s hard for me to say what programs stick out the most and define us to be military friendly, because it’s not just one, it’s a combination of most.”

Many departments on campus have joined the Yellow Ribbon program in the last year. The program is an extension of the 9/11 GI Bill that pays all in-state tu-

ition and fees at public colleges and university for eligible students. This is the second year the University has offered the Yellow Ribbon program to out-of-state graduate students.

In order to continually improve the WVU experience for veterans, McCarthy and his colleagues are working on several new projects.

McCarthy is writing a proposal to legislators to bring the Veterans Upward Bound program to campus.

The program helps students academically by providing on-campus assistance in math and science classes to student veterans during their first semester at WVU. “This won’t solve everybody’s problems, but it will

Burger King launching lower-calorie french fry

Burger King is rolling out its $1 ‘French Fry Burger’ that the company hopes will fend off competition for McDonald’s Dollar Menu.

NEW YORK (AP) — Burger King wants people to feel less guilty about gobbling up its french fries.

The world’s No. 2 hamburger chain is launching a new crinkle-cut french fry on Tuesday that it says has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries.

The chain says a small order of the new “Satisfries” clocks in at 270 calories because of a new batter that doesn’t absorb as much oil.

By comparison, a small order of its regular fries, sans crinkles, has 340 calories.

The concept of taking an indulgent food and removing some of the guilt isn’t new, of course. Supermarkets are filled with baked potato chips, 100-calorie packs

of popular treats. Such creations play on people’s inability to give up their food vices, even as they struggle to eat better. The idea is to create something that skimps on calories, but not on taste.

Burger King executives say people won’t be able to tell that Satisfries are lower in calories. It says they use the same ingredients as its regular fries – potatoes, oil and batter. To keep kitchen operations simple, they’re even made in the same fryers and cooked for the same amount of time as regular fries.

The difference is that the proportions of the batter’s ingredients are adjusted so that it blocks out more oil,

Burger King says. The crinkle-cut shape is in part so workers will be able to easily distinguish them from the regular fries when they’re deep frying them together.

“You need to make things as simple as possible,” says Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King’s chief marketing officer.

Alex Macedo, head of North American operations at Burger King, said the chain worked with one of its potato suppliers, McCain Foods, to develop the lowercalorie fries. He said McCain can’t sell the fries to other fast-food clients and that different suppliers might have a tough time imitating them.

Reporters were given a preview of the fries at a New

Tap Takeover

York City hotel last week. Attendees were each served a carton of the fries that look and taste like any other fries, even leaving the familiar grease stains in their paper cartons.

Burger King led off its presentation by comparing the fries to the “leading french fries,” which are made by McDonald’s. On a poundfor-pound basis, executives noted that the new fries have 30 percent fewer calories than those served at the Golden Arches.

The comparison to McDonald’s may prove to be confusing for some, since fast-food chains each have their own definitions of what qualifies as a small, medium or large.

The Solar Decathlon is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Although each team received a $100,000 grant from the department, it was necessary to raise additional funds for the project and to cover their travel expenses.

The winner is determined based on the teams ability to blend affordability, consumer appeal and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency.

“If we do not win the competition I will still consider it a success. We have come a long way; some people thought we couldn’t do it,” Carrier said. “We all have learned valuable skills about renewable energy, which is the entire purpose of the competition.”

Experienced garage rock band The Woggles to play at 123 Pleasant Street

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR @LACEYPALMER

Four-piece rock ‘n’ roll group The Woggles will play tonight at 123 Pleasant Street.

Although the group played in Morgantown several years ago alongside Holly Golightly, they’re looking forward to returning lead vocalist/harmonicist Manfred Jones, also known as The Professor Mighty Manfred.

“We really look forward to getting back to town because the folks in Morgantown are just so great, and we were treated so royally last time,” Jones said.

Influences of ’60s rock mixed with their own combination of surf, R&B, rockabilly and blues creates a signature rock ‘n’ roll sound for the group.

“We’re set apart by the fact that we draw our inspiration from the fount of American popular music forms,” Jones said.

“The roots are deep and the trunk is strong, allow-

ing us to swing like Tarzans from branch to branch and ensure that our monkeying around on stage resonates with the audience.”

Formed in Athens, Ga., in 1987, the members met while working at the University of Georgia’s student radio station, WUOG. “We formed there to play the music we love, drawing on ’50s rock ‘n’ roll, blues, R&B, soul, ’60s garage and surf,” Jones said.

The band released a handful of EPs between 1990-1993 before releasing their first full-length album, “Teen Dance Party,” through Estrus Records in 1993. Over the next 10 years, The Woggles released four albums and a variety of singles.

Tragedy struck The Woggles in 2003 when guitarist George Montague Holton III died in an accident.

Guitarist/vocalist Flesh Hammer joined the group after Holton’s untimely death, and they produced five albums before their most recent release in 2012, “The Big Beat.”

“We all know it’s hard to improve on the musical perfection that is The Woggles’ combination of sight and sound, and yet, because we are perfectionists, we always strive,” Jones said. “Along with studio engineer David Barbe, who has worked with the Drive By Truckers quite a bit, we developed an innovative 3-D recording process, where each musician was recorded in real time with other 3-D musicians present.

“This enabled the interplay of unique human characteristics, which we were able to later digitally correct or enhance when necessary.”

This take on the production of the album allows for a listening experience like no other.

“The listener reaps the benefit of this 3D breakthrough by simply choosing the album in their preferred format, playing it on the device of their choice and using their imagination,” Jones said. “If they believe hard enough and

The Woggles perform a recent show in Charlotte, N.C. strong enough, they will see The Woggles in their mind’s eye.”

“The Big Beat” is The Woggles third album from Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records label.

Joining Jones and Hammer on stage tonight will be bassist/vocalist Buzz Hagstrom and vocalist/ drummer Dan Elektro –

two original members of The Woggles. “(Attendees can expect) gyrating, vibrating, whooping, hollering, harmonies, notes, chords, dancing, prancing, crawling, contortions and jumping,” Jones said. “Everything you’d expect from a tent revival, but cast in the context of a rock ‘n’ roll

The show will begin at 10. The Phantom Six will open for The Woggles, and tickets will be $8 at the door.

Banned Books Week: A review of banned/CHALLENGED classics

Throughout this week, we will be featuring reviews of a variety of banned and challenged books in honor of Banned Books Week.

Alice Walker’s ‘The Color Purple’ challenged due to graphic nature, inappropriate language, race issues and violence Mitchell Glazier Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Celie, a poor, uneducated African American teenager chronicles her life in letters in Alice Walker’s 1982 breakout novel “The Color Purple.” From the first page, controversial issues such as rape and abuse unfold, pulling the reader into an intimate account of Celie’s daily life.

Despite praise from many critics for remarkable literary merit, hundreds of schools nation-

ally have removed the title for its bold, unabashed narrative. In West Virginia, Jackson County schools removed The Color Purple in 1997, along with sixteen other titles.

The novel is composed of letters from Celie to God and her sister, Nettie.

In her teenage years, Celie was raped and abused by her father, Alphonso.

Mr. ____ (who’s name fails to appear in the novel) enters the picture, settling for marriage with Celie after being denied her sister.

Nettie, anxious to begin a new life, leaves home to

live with a missionary family. This takes an incredible toll on Celie, which inspires her to write letters to God and eventually, to Nettie, who moves to Africa with her new family.

Celie is afraid of men, and addresses them fearfully, which explains her referring to her husband as “Mr.____.” Mr. ____’s previous wife was murdered, and Celie becomes mother to his children, who create anything but a smooth transition for her.

Eventually, Mr. ____’s lover, the singer/seductress Shug Avery, comes into the

picture, opening Celie’s eyes to a world beyond abuse and unhappiness.

The major turning point in the novel occurs when Celie, distressed she hasn’t received letters from Nettie, discovers Mr. ____ has been stashing them away.

Celie, armed with a new sense of bravery, confronts her husband. Through the course of the novel, Celie loses touch with her oncerevered God, and begins writing only to Nettie. Shug Avery takes Celie away from Mr. ____’s house, and Celie experiences a spiritual revelation.

Keith Urban’s ‘Fuse’ debuts at No. 1, pleases fans Carly Smith Correspondent @DAILYATHENAEUM

Country sensation Keith Urban is having quite a successful year. After signing on to judge another season of American Idol, Urban released his new album, “Fuse,” Sept. 10.

“Fuse” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 yesterday, and Urban sold 98,000 copies of the album last week. “Fuse” is Urban’s fifth top-10 album.

“Fuse” definitely has a different sound than Urban’s previous albums. It is clear Urban experimented with “Fuse,” adding electronic beats throughout the album and including a number of upbeat, fun tracks. His famous guitar solos and smooth voice are familiar to country fans, but the pop-infused tracks are enough to please a wider audience.

“Somewhere In My Car” opens up the album with a processed beat and a popfeel, with Urban’s guitar playing and a typical country lyrics incorporated beautifully.

“Somewhere In My Car” is the perfect song to start off with because of the blend of traditional country with some modern twists.

“Cop Car” may be slowerpaced compared to other tracks on the album, but the song’s lyrics make it an instant hit. The song says, “And you were so innocent/ but you were stealing my heart/ I fell in love in the back of a cop car.”

The song explains how Urban and a girl trespassed, ending up in trouble with the cops, but that didn’t stop Urban from falling for the girl.

It’s an unusual love song, but nevertheless is very catchy and cute.

“Little Bit of Everything” was Keith Urban’s first single off of “Fuse.” The song has graced the airwaves of country radio nonstop since it came out, and it’s no surprise why.

“Little Bit of Everything” is a fun song that reminds listeners to enjoy the little things in life.

Keith Urban did more than experiment on his own for “Fuse.” Urban paired up with fellow country stars Miranda Lambert and Eric Church for incredible duets.

Urban and Lambert’s song, “We Were Us,” could very well be Urban’s next single. The harmonies make the voices of the two artists flow together perfectly.

“We Were Us” is about

josepvinaixa.com

reminiscing on old love and the great times that were had, and it is something everyone can relate to.

Urban and Church’s song, “Raise ‘Em Up,” sounds a lot like Urban’s older songs, which is very appealing to fans. The beat consists of clapping and guitar strumming, giving the song an acoustic feel.

“Raise ‘Em Up” is one of the best songs on “Fuse” simply because of how perfectly Eric Church’s voice matches to Keith Urban’s.

Many of the tracks on “Fuse” have the potential to be Urban’s next single; how-

ever, like with many albums, there are a few songs that fall flat.

“She’s My 11” and “Come Back To Me” don’t really fit into the cool, new sound Keith Urban has created for “Fuse” and seem to be fillers on an otherwise exciting album.

All in all, Urban’s “Fuse” is definitely worth buying.

The No. 1 debut will be an indicator of great things to come for Urban and his success with “Fuse.”

Due to an error in the Sept. 23 edition of The Daily Athenaeum, The Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club was credited with hosting a fundraiser at Lux. Although portions of the proceeds will go to the club, the fundraiser was not organized by the club. The location of the club was incorrect, as well. The club operates out of Woodburn Elementary School.

Also, not all employees of the organization are volunteers, as noted in the article. According to Boys & Girls Club officials, the group is not struggling in any way. In the article, the quote mentioned helping the organization “get back on their feet,” which is inaccurate.

Through Shug’s intercession, Celie finds God again. Shug said: “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”

Alice Walker’s intense perception and her ability to capture human experience so profoundly is reason enough to crack open this novel. While heavy themes and experiences pervade throughout, they

only enhance the main character’s ability to overcome struggles and gain an intense spiritual life and inner peace.

The vernacular Walker employs is remarkable, and gives such breadth to Celie’s story. Will Celie reunite with her sister, Nettie? Will she ever gain the strength to call her husband by his first name? The rest is for you to discover.

WVU: a military friendly school

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Veterans on campus protest the United States’ involvement in the war on Syria.

West Virginia University is known for being rather progressive. We are eco-friendly with recycling centers in nearly every Universityowned building and energyefficient plumbing in the newer constructions.

We proudly support our LGBTQ community; a women’s and gender studies graduate program was recently added to the list and each year, new courses are added to the curriculum. Spectrum is a WVU student-run organization dedicated to pro-

viding a social space for LGBTQ people and their allies in north central West Virginia. There have even been mock weddings in the Free Speech Zone in front of the Mountainlair to celebrate Gay Pride Week.

It’s also very important to note that WVU fully supports veterans of the United States army. More than 800 veterans, military personnel and their dependents are currently furthering their education at this school. There are several majors and programs

designed to support former members of the military.

In fact, for the fifth year in a row, G.I. Jobs magazine has declared WVU a Military Friendly School.

Many colleges within WVU are part of the Yellow Ribbon, which is a program that operates as an extension of the 9/11 GI Bill that pays all instate tuition and fees. The Yellow Ribbon is now granted to out-of-state students, as well.

The Office of Financial Aid employs an advocate for veterans, in addition to veteran-

friendly classes devoted to recognizing veterans’ interests and needs.

A special session of Adventure WV, underwritten

by Boring Corp., is available to first-year student veterans where they can participate in the outdoor orientation.

The Military to Mountaineer Mentor Program brings together a new student veteran and an older student veteran who has successfully transitioned into “regular” life to help ease the process.

Through the years, count-

less veteran members of the faculty and staff have received numerous awards and recognition for exemplary work in a variety of fields, proving WVU is doing something right.

So, the next time you get upset the PRT is down or the Mountainlair won’t accept your meal plan after 9 p.m., remember what programs and services the University does have to offer. All you have to do is look for them. dapersepectives@mail.wvu.edu

Liberal mindset a promising Racism and the Redskins change for the Catholic Church op-ed commentary

david schlake columnist

Throughout the last decade, there has been a lot of controversy about whether the name of the Washington Redskins should be viewed as offensive and thus changed.

The team originated in 1932 and has had a substantial amount of success in the realm of professional football. The Redskins won two NFL championships before the Super Bowl came into play, and they have collectively claimed three Super Bowl titles in five appearances. Only five teams have had more Super Bowl appearances than the Redskins, making them what some would call “elite caliber” in the National Football League.

When an organization with such rich history is the topic of discussion, there’s bound to be a broad range of opinions when their title is at risk to change. The Redskins have a large following worldwide, and many of the fans that follow the team are themselves Native American.

But the controversy that stands is whether or not the name “Redskin” is offensive to the Native American people. Many people have taken a stand to either keep or revoke the name to avoid any more controversy. Recently, an article written by

Rick Reilly, a columnist for ESPN, has drawn a great deal of attention.

Reilly used several points to defend his argument but finished his position with what many readers saw as a radical conclusion. For example, the name Oklahoma itself means “red people,” derived from the Choctaw language. He also claims if we are to change the name, we should also change the names of other teams such as the Chiefs, the Braves and the Seminoles, as well as the Saints and the Angels, for the atheists that might take offense.

Just one of those names can’t be found offensive without all of them being found offensive. However, he compares the hypothetical removal of the Redskin brand to placing Native Americans in an Indian reservation. This conclusion brought attention from readers worldwide and stirred more controversy into the melting pot of political opinion.

A number of questions can be asked regarding Reilly’s article, most of them in the context of whether or not he overstepped some boundaries and others that assess whether or not he made valid points.

The fact of the matter is the brand for Washington’s team doesn’t stand for something offensive.

It stands for the pride the Native people possess. The term “redskin” has always

represented the team as a strong, hard-working unit fighting together. To Reilly and many others, this is anything but offensive. He compliments this strong argument with other references that had an impact on readers, especially those regarding religion. The names “Saints” and “Angels” don’t represent scripture or religious opinion, but rather a heritage that is rich in each hometown.

As with any argument, there is a counter argument.

No matter what, the term “redskin” has caused some conflict, demanding at least consideration as to whether the name is inappropriate.

After all, the team is technically named after the color of a race’s skin. If there was a team called the “whiteskins” or the “blackskins,” there would probably be a lot less debate and much more unity in the idea that these names are racist. So it’s only fair to say the concern for the offensive nature of the Redskins’ name is justified.

The name was never meant as a racial slur or a derogatory nickname; it was always intended to represent the team with pride and strength. That’s what the Redskins fans want to promote; they want to illustrate what the name means to them, and what it has meant to them for their whole lives. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

emily torbett guest columnist

Major change can be expected in the near future for more than 1 billion Roman Catholics around the world.

In an interview on Thursday, Pope Francis remarked the church has grown “obsessed” with gay marriage, abortion and contraception. He refused to discuss those issues further, stating the church has much more pressing matters to attend to.

“I see the church as a field hospital after battle,” the Pope said. “It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.”

Pope Francis has been known to be more liberal than his predecessors. His remark on homosexuality produced headlines all over the world when he said, “Who am I to judge?”

In the interview, he heavily criticized the church of the past for valuing strict and unwavering dogma before love, and for prioritizing moral doctrines and political issues over serving the poor and marginalized.

He described his vision of a considerably more open and inclusive church, stating he wanted it to be a “home for all.”

The statements Pope

Francis made are a direct contrast to the beliefs of previous popes. This is especially true of Pope Benedict XVI, who envisioned a “smaller” and “purer” church. Pope Benedict XVI defended the church’s strict moral doctrine, often at the expense of lost followers, largely young people. In the past, the church has simply failed to adapt to the changing ideals of the younger generation, the majority of whom tend to be more liberal.

Over the years, both the Catholic and Protestant branches of Christianity have seen a decrease in the amount of young adults active in their churches. In order to draw in the younger crowd, the Protestant side of the church has tried everything from Christian bands that write church doctrine into contemporary music to youth outreach programs that promise fun in exchange for Bible study.

Despite these efforts, the younger generation still seems to be turning away from Christianity. Why? Because the younger generation has been heavily advertised to the church from birth, and they can tell when someone is simply trying to sell them on the same old idea in a way that is specifically designed to appeal to them.

Simply put, instead of changing their outdated message, the Protestant church has painted their

message a fun new color in order to pass it off as something new.

Catholicism has a history of staying steadfast in nearly everything it does. The mass modern Catholics attend, despite being in the language of the people instead of Latin, is the same as the mass their parents, grandparents and great grandparents went to. In its effort to maintain its traditions, the Catholic church has stayed much more authentic.

The younger generation of Christians have grown to appreciate such authenticity, and changing the teachings of the church to reflect the ideals held by the majority of them instead of simply attempting to regurgitating the same old teachings in a new way will only increase the church’s younger following.

In short, as far as young Christians are concerned, Catholic is the new cool.

Overall, the transition of the Catholic church from the small-minded and traditional doctrine of the past into one that is more open and accepting is a step in the right direction. If the church hopes to combat the decreasing number of young people present in congregations on Sunday, changing its views and refocusing its energy is the best way to go. It will only lead to the church’s viability in the future. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you remain open to the creative process. How you deal with new possibilities could change dramatically. Your ability to trust your knee-jerk reactions will lessen as you recognize that you are breaking patterns. Your choices will add to your quality of life. Your career will be demanding, but you have what it takes to succeed. If you are single, you could meet someone through your work or just by being out and about. If you are attached, the two of you need to pursue a common interest; the time to begin is now.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH You naturally are drawn to the most unexpected situations.

The question is: Which way do you go? The answer will emerge quickly,

as you are not one for waiting. Understand that many people see you manifest your desires like lightning.

Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Take a look at what is going on within your immediate circle. Understand what is taking place behind the scenes with a money matter. You might sense some deception. If that is the case, go for a holding position rather than cause yourself a bigger problem. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You’ll beam in more of what you want in order to make a situation work. Fatigue might be the only obstacle preventing you from bringing others together to gain the support that you think you need. You might choose to continue, regardless.

Tonight: Ease the pace a bit.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Everyone has days when they don’t feel quite up to snuff. Why would you be any different? Allow yourself to call out of work for the day. If you already aren’t working, play it lowkey. Take this time to revitalize and do what you want for a change. Tonight: Not to be found.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You might want to see a situation evolve to a new level. It is your focused energy that will take it there.

Be sure to take your time, and sift through each possibility to the same end. Trust yourself to find the most appropriate method to get there. Tonight: Share your ideas.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Visualize and create a better platform from which to work, whether you are a boss or an employee. You will find

that your effectiveness will be enhanced, and others will respond in a more authentic manner. Tonight: Discuss a grievance with a wise family member or friend.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Your ability to gather the facts and see what is missing will help you as well as others. You’ll weigh the pros and cons of an issue, but know that the outcome will be positive. You have time to fill in the blanks. Someone’s criticism might just be jealousy.

Tonight: In the limelight.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Listen to news, and ask for a friend’s perspective. You might opt to go along with this person’s thinking. You could be surprised by the way events play out as a result. When allowed to wander, your mind will come up with amazing scenarios! Tonight: Togeth-

erness works.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by a situation that is developing.

Maintain a sense of humor. You will be happier as a result, and you also will gain a new perspective with ease.

Understand what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Listen to others’ “war stories” of the day.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Your caring yet methodical manner creates change quickly. Realize what is happening within your circle of friends. Someone might be angry, and this person is likely to toss a boulder in your way. Do not take his or her reaction personally. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You will go directly to-

ward a creative option that appears quite suddenly. Finding out what is workable could test your limits. You might be holding back your feelings, whereas someone else isn’t. Do not engage this person. Tonight: How about some fun?

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Being centered at home might be a higher priority than it normally would be, as much pressure seems to emanate from others’ demands.

You will make an effort to be responsive, but you are only human. Stay somewhat unavailable, and screen your calls. Tonight: Stay anchored.

Ralphie May provides raunchy comedy

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR @LACEYPALMER

The Metropolitan Theatre was filled with laughter Tuesday evening as Ralphie May delivered his famous stand-up comedy.

The comedian, who appeared on the first season of Last Comic Standing and a variety of Comedy Central specials, visited Morgantown for his fifth time.

“People always ask me why I come back… I don’t know; a bunch of nice people come out on a Tuesday night to a crappy theater downtown,” May said.

The Smash Brothers, comprised of identical twins Cory and Chad, opened for May. Delivering their own brand of vulgar, crude jokes, the theater erupted with laughter throughout their entire set.

“If you’re offended by the word ‘bitch,’ you probably are a ‘bitch,’” the Smash Brothers said.

It was obvious the duo wasn’t afraid to speak what was truly on their mind.

Touching on topics of race, sex and drugs, they let the crowd know that it would only get dirtier from there,

noting appalled laughter in the audience.

When referring to the menstrual cycle of women, The Smash Brothers called it “shark week.”

“Stay the f--- home when it happens,” the Smash Brothers said, mentioning the many times they’d bought drinks for women at bars only to be shot down with the excuse. “You should be charged with stealing (drinks).”

When May took the stage, he said the brothers had been good friends of his for more than 10 years.

May began his set describing a recent injury he received after a fall, leaving his neck and back sprained.

“They gave me pain medicine for the fall, and those meds f--- me up pretty bad,” May said. “Apparently, they have pretty good street value here in West Virginia, too.”

With a dig directed toward Pittsburgh, May won the audience over immediately. He said he’s tired of hearing them talk about West Virginians, as it’s only an hour and a half away.

May also touched on politicians, especially those fighting against universal healthcare when they have

free healthcare for life.

“That’s like me saying ‘Don’t be fat’,” May said.

Referencing his weight was obviously something May was comfortable with, and his comfort level made the audience laugh even harder.

“I appreciate this stool that’s going to break when I sit down,” May said.

Touching on topics such as his family, growing up in Arkansas, homosexuals, penis size and a whole lot of sex, May filled the theater with laughter after every single phrase.

“Are you all getting these jokes over there?” May said. “I feel like I’m playing Frisbee with a bunch of paraplegics.”

May’s impressions and facial expressions made the evening one many Morgantown residents will likely never forget. His imitations of females were scarily accurate, and his facial expressions paired with his vulgar comedy made his stand-up even funnier.

He also had the ability to laugh at himself. When he would tell a joke he agreed was funny, he would laugh along with the audience, making him more person-

WVU, Sigma Tau Delta celebrate Banned Books Week by shawnee moran associate A&E Editor @shawneemoran22

West Virginia University is celebrating freedom of expression and the freedom to read in honor of Banned Books Week.

Formed by the American Library Association in 1982, the event is celebrated by hundreds of libraries and booksellers nationwide to draw attention to censorship problems.

In honor of Banned Books Week, West Vir-

ginia University’s Honors College is partnering with Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honors Society, to host events throughout campus.

Kenneth Heitmeyer, Sigma Tau Delta’s president, said he believes this is a week both students and faculty should care about and be involved in.

“The idea of banning books is, for me, about censorship. Someone decides that a book is offensive in some way, and that no one should be allowed to read it,” he said. “By get-

ting a book banned from public schools and libraries, people are placed in a protective bubble that prevents them from being exposed to new ideas or concepts that will challenge their world view.

“I feel that we need to have those bubbles popped so that we can grow mentally and emotionally.”

According to Heitmeyer, supporting Banned Books Week gives the opportunity to honor those who have fought against having books banned and ed-

Th nk P nk

ucate people to prevent it happening in the future.

Earlier this week, Sigma Tau Delta manned a booth for free speech to raise awareness about this issue. The Wise Library mounted a display of challenged books on the fourth floor, which includes copies of “The Hunger Games,” “Harry Potter,” “The Catcher in the Rye” and many others.

Faculty advisor of Sigma Tau Delta, professor Anna Elfenbein, said she is very passionate about getting students to understand

their voice matters and to participate in Banned Books Week activities.

“Students are in the process of exploring the world of ideas. They need freedom of access and can only become truly educated by exercising that freedom and by thinking critically about what they read and hear,” Elfenbein said. “Personally, I find restricting access to books or destroying them a horrifying practice and think Banned Books Week serves as a reminder our rights to read and write are

both precious and at risk.”

The Honors College will continue to host events throughout the week. Several residence halls will also host individual events such as movie nights..

***Spoiler Alert*** How did Ted Mosby meet his future wife and children’s mother? That is a question that still has not been answered, but we finally got to meet the mother during the season premiere of the popular television comedy, “How I Met Your Mother,” Monday night on CBS. The ninth and final season premiere started off with a bang, revealing more information than expected.

The eighth season ended with a peek of the longawaited mother, so the audience can expect to see her in this episode, and expectations were surpassed when we saw just how perfect she is for Ted. While I spent many years hoping Ted and Robin would just end up together, I think this is the best person for Ted. Also, Robin and Barney are just evil enough separately that they are awesome together.

The mother, played by Cristin Milioti, has the same odd sense of humor

and weird habits as Ted, but she still has not met him. Our first experience with the mother happened when Lily met her. She consoled a very stressed Lily by making jokes, listening to her rant about Ted’s driving and giving her Sumbitch cookies.

In the final moments of the premiere, we saw the series flash forward a year.

Ted has brought the mother back to the place where they met, The Farhampton Inn (also where Barney and Robin are getting married), and it is revealed the two have been dating for a year. They shared an oh-sosweet kiss that proved the chemistry between them is definitely real.

Also in this episode was a lot of drama surrounding Barney and Robin’s wedding. The two are set to marry in 55 hours at the beginning of the episode, so there is a lot of time for things to play out.

This episode gave way to disappointment and fear between the couple when they found out they could possibly be distantly related.

Barney’s brother Tom also dropped a bombshell when he revealed he is no longer married. This

freaked Robin out, as his relationship was the only one that made Barney believe marriage is possible. Barney was upset, but he told Robin he does not need that anymore to make him believe in marriage; he has her for that.

Since the series has shown bits and pieces of the wedding many times during its successful run, I doubt the wedding will be cancelled. Nevertheless, all of this drama made for a good time.

Lily and Marshall’s relationship had another test when Marshall had to fight with a feisty character played by Sherri Shepherd, who nearly kept Marshall from making it to The Farhampton Inn. Marshall still has not told Lily he accepted the judge position in New York City, and he managed to keep his mother from telling her.

Overall, the premiere did a fantastic job at starting the wedding weekend. It gave viewers just enough information about the mother to keep them watching while the relationship unfolds, and it started some other story lines that will be interesting to watch. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

CHANGE IN MENTALITY

WVU struggling to replace offensive weapons Saturday’s 37-0 loss to Maryland was a historically bad offensive performance for the Mountaineers – literally.

It was the first time a West Virginia team has been shut out since falling to Virginia Tech in 2001 and the worst shutout loss since a 39-0 defeat to Penn State in 1975.

Redshirt freshman Ford Childress threw for just 62 passing yards with two interceptions on 11-22 passing. His 62 passing yards are the least by a West Virginia quarterback since 2008. He only completed one pass to a receiver, when Ronald Carswell caught the first pass of the game for 12 yards.

After Saturday’s crushing defeat, head coach Dana Holgorsen put all the blame on himself.

“They whipped us on all three sides of the ball,” he said. “This is all 100 percent on me.”

Give all the credit to Maryland for the crushing defeat, but the Terrapins aren’t even a top-25 team. In fact, the Maryland defense gave up an average of 37 points per game to its previous five BCS opponents.

Their shutout victory was their first since 2008.

With such a deflating loss, perhaps this is a sign things are worse than they appear. And trust me, they are. At this time last year, the Mountaineers had the No. 1 passing offense and No. 3 scoring and total offense in the country, and were coming off a 70-63 victory against the Baylor Bears.

Geno Smith threw for 656 yards and eight touchdown passes in that game, both of which are the highest in school history.

What a difference a year makes.

For their first four games this year, West Virginia ranks No. 74 passing offense, No. 108 scoring offense and No. 72 total offense in the country. Its 28.8 percent third down conversion rate also ranks No. 109 in the country.

As a unit thus far, the West Virginia wide receiver corps has caught 57 balls for 733 yards and four touchdowns.

Through his first four games last year, wide receiver Stedman Bailey caught 41 passes for 635 yards and 10 touchdowns alone. Bailey and Tavon Austin were in the top 10 for receptions per game and most of last season. This year, Carswell leads WVU with nine receptions, ranking No. 159 in the country.

Through his first four games last year, Geno Smith had already compiled 1,728 yards.

This year? Childress and Paul Millard have combined to pass for just 876 yards, which averages to about 210 yards less per game. Smith alone outgained WVU’s entire 2013 offense by more than 60 yards per game.

Clearly, this Mountaineer team has made a complete turn from last year.

The offense only returned three guys, and 41 of their 44 touchdowns scored last season came from players who are no longer with the team. It’s a brand new team, and inexperience has killed it so far.

If West Virginia could only manage 175 yards of offense against Maryland, who knows what will happen once the Mountaineers return to Big 12 Conference play. The No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys come to Morgantown this weekend after crushing Lamar 59-3 last Saturday to remain undefeated.

“Offensively we’re as inept as we can possibly be,” Holgorsen said after the game. “We’ve got to figure it out.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Holgorsen stresses positive mindset for WVU in preparation for Oklahoma State by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

When West Virginia takes the field against No. 11 Oklahoma State Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said he wants to see change in his team. After coming off a game in which his offense produced just 175 total yards in an ugly shutout loss to Maryland, the offensive guru said he believes it starts with mentality.

“We need to relax and expect good things to happen,” Holgorsen said.

After playing tense and uptight against Maryland, Holgorsen wants the attitude of his team to change.

He saw his team as almost afraid of making mistakes.

To avoid the problem, Holgorsen said he believes if the team sees him change, they will change for the better also.

“I need to change my mentality if I want them to change their mentality, so I’m going to expect good things to happen,” Holgorsen said.

The third-year head coach has never seen his offense sputter like it has during the first four weeks of the season. WVU is No. 7

in the Big 12 Conference in total offense and passing offense, leaving Holgorsen to fix a problem he hasn’t encountered in the past.

“I’m not going to worry about calling the perfect play. If you sit there and worry about calling the perfect play, then you’re going to call a bad one,” he said.

Holgorsen, who is as tedious and prepared when calling offensive plays as any coach in the country, is making a radical change to improve his team’s chances at keeping pace with a high-powered Oklahoma State offense.

And even though the

WVU defense has played well throughout the early part of the season, the Cowboys scoring offense is No. 2 in the Big 12, averaging 45.3 points per game. Led by former Holgorsen recruit J.W. Walsh, Oklahoma State can score at any point.

“J.W. Walsh has been in a lot of football games.

He’s a coach’s kid, he’s savvy, he throws the ball well, he runs the ball well, (and) he makes it work,” Holgorsen said. “Every intangible (thing) you want a quarterback to have, he has.”

Holgorsen said he wants his offense to succeed this

week and be a factor in the game. If the offense isn’t scoring touchdowns or racking up yards, Walsh and company will be able to come away with an easy victory. For Holgorsen, it all starts with him and cultivating change in mindset entering Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State.

“The best way to fix it is to look in the mirror, and figure out exactly what you can fix,” Holgorsen said.

“There are plenty of things that I can do better, and I plan on doing it this week against a good Oklahoma State team.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S SOCCER

WVU to face Penn State by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Coming off the heels of a difficult overtime loss to Michigan Saturday, the West Virginia men’s soccer team will host their second straight Big Ten Conference foe tonight.

The Mountaineers will host Penn State in the second match of WVU’s fivematch homestand. The Nittany Lions currently sit at 4-2-1 on the season and are riding a two-match winning streak. The team is led by freshman forward Mark Wadid who has tallied three goals in Penn State’s seven matches.

PSU’s strength comes from the back. Goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton has allowed just six goals this season and has a save percentage of .740, good for fourth in the Big Ten. Wolverton has also recorded four shutouts in 2013.

Penn State is led by college soccer icon Bob Warming. The 2012 Big Ten Coach of the Year has more than 400 victories and 30 winning seasons in his illustrious career. Warming ranks No. 5 among active Division I soccer coaches in total victories. He has also been named the National Coach of the Year on two occasions.

“Penn State is going to be a difficult match and we’re pleased to play them in Morgantown,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We certainly hope that we are going to go out and be the aggressor, but we expect them to be very stout defensively and put us under quite a bit of pressure.”

LeBlanc is well aware of the traditions of Penn State soccer. He graduated from the university in 2000 and served as an assistant coach for the Nittany Lions before taking over in Morgantown in 2006.

LeBlanc has never lost to Penn State in his career as a head coach. In three

matches, he holds a 2-0-1 record against his alma mater. The two teams last met in 2012 when they played to a scoreless draw.

West Virginia is looking to right their wrongs from Saturday’s game when the Mountaineers scored with just 17 seconds left to force overtime against Michigan before eventually losing the match.

Andy Bevin and Majed Osman are combined for 62 percent of the goals WVU has scored this season. The two have an identical stat line of four goals and three assists so far in 2013. Altogether through seven matches, the Mountaineers have scored 13 goals, while also conceding 13 goals. Coach LeBlanc has warned his team Penn State will make for a difficult goal-scoring evening.

“They don’t concede many goals,” he said.

“They’re not going to beat themselves and that’s a sign of a good team and a well-coached team.

It’s something I need to do better with my team, make sure we don’t beat ourselves.”

The two schools have played three similar opponents this season including Central Connecticut, Radford and St. John’s. Penn State has a 2-1 record against the three squads while the Mountaineers went 1-1-1 against the same opponents.

West Virginia is looking for a big crowd tonight.

The team has taken to the streets, hiding WVU soccer scarves around campus and inviting students and fans to support the club.

“They’re a good side, but they’re not going to come in here and sit back, they’re going to try and beat us,” LeBlanc said.

Mountaineers prepare for conference slate, difficult travel by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 18 West Virginia women’s soccer team opens Big 12 Conference play this weekend away at Oklahoma State Friday and Baylor Sunday.

As their second year in the Big 12, many of the players said they are ready and know what is coming their way.

The Big 12 is already a grind but even more so for the Mountaineers because of the miles separating the schools.

“On the road it is big games and I think the fact

that we have a year in the Big 12, we know what to expect. A soccer field is a soccer field, and we know what to expect with the travel.

It’s going to be tough, but we have to grind it out.

Last year was a lot of surprises; we weren’t ready for the heat and humidity changes. It’s a lot different than here, but having that one year prepares us a little more for the road ahead,” said sophomore midfielder Amanda Hill.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said quick turnarounds are difficult, but this weekend will be especially difficult because of the travel.

The Mountaineers will leave Thursday morning and fly to Oklahoma City where they will take a bus to Stillwater, Okla. They will play a late game Friday, and then bus back to Oklahoma City early Saturday morning, where they will then fly to Dallas.

From Dallas the girls will bus to Waco, Texas, and begin to prepare for Baylor.

Early Sunday afternoon the Mountaineers will face Baylor, the Big 12 Champion. Directly after their game against Baylor, the girls will bus back to Dallas and board a plane to Pittsburgh. This kind of travel has to wear on an athlete’s

body, but it’s the life of an athlete in the Big 12, especially a WVU athlete.

“I think having the opportunity to go to North Carolina and to Penn State has prepared us for the opportunity to go to Oklahoma and that’s the game.

“We already know this year for tournament play we are going to have to be on the road and dealing with those different obstacles, and we have to be ready and adjusted and give them our best shot,” Izzo-Brown said.

The Mountaineers will play Oklahoma State, Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas Tech away this year; and

face Texas, Iowa State, TCU and Kansas at home.

Izzo-Brown is quick to admit her team has faced adversity, probably more than most Big 12 teams this year, at least where injuries are concerned.

“We only have two seniors out there now, and I think that leadership will be missed,” she said.

“That’s not to take away from (Cari) Price or (Ashley) Lawrence.

The leadership piece was obviously what I was planning for and of course we always want more bodies, but we don’t have that now so united we stand.

We don’t have a choice, we

can’t look back. We can just look forward now.”

Hill said she thinks the midfield has really improved and is playing together more.

“Chemistry with two new players can be difficult but Cari and Ashley do fantastic. We do really well as a unit, we find each other on the field, we move well defensively,” Hill said. “So I think our chemistry has really come along these past two weeks.”

The Mountaineers will play away this weekend and will return next weekend to face Texas at home. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU earns No. 28 ranking following strong start to season by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University cross country team moved up to No. 28 in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association NCAA Division 1 National Coaches’ poll Sept. 17. The team was previously ranked No. 29 in the preseason poll.

“Very soon, we will all have a much clearer picture of the national scene,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “The window for qualifying for the National Championships opens in two weeks, at which point results become more meaningful.”

The cross country team earned their new ranking by finishing in the top 10 in both races this season.

In their first race of the season at the Lehigh Invitational, Coach Cleary saw his squad finish in fourth place out of 13 teams. It was at the race in Bethlehem, Pa., where sophomore Paige Szabat burst onto the cross country scene. Szabat crossed the finish line first for the Mountaineers, placing 10th overall with a 23:41.75 time. The next

WVU runner to finish was junior Allison Pettit in 19th place.

In its second race of the season WVU finished No. 8 at Penn State University. Szabat once again was the first WVU runner to cross the finish line placing No. 30 and ran a new personal best time of 22:44. Lydia Martinelli, freshmen Peyton Hampson and Brianna Kerekes

all ran career bests at the Spiked Shoe Invitational.

The No. 8 finish boosted the Mountaineers to the No. 28 spot.

With two races under their belts and a new ranking the cross country team has their sights on the Paul Short Run in familiar Bethlehem, Pa., at Lehigh University.

Cleary said after a three-week break, the

Mountaineers will be ready to compete.

“We have three weeks to put our group into a better position than we currently sit today,” Cleary said. “We hope for health and great training.”

The Paul Short Run is set to begin Oct. 5 at Lehigh’s Goodman Cross Country Course. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Machado avoids tearing ACL following gruesome injury BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles and Manny Machado couldn’t have asked for a much better diagnosis on his injured left knee: The third

baseman avoided tearing any major ligaments and could be running in six to eight weeks without surgery.

An MRI on Tuesday re-

vealed Machado has a torn medial patellofemoral ligament. He will rest the knee until the swelling subsides and then go through a light rehabilita-

tive program.

“The MCL is fine, the ACL is fine,” Orioles head trainer Richie Bancells said. “All those major ligaments are fine. This is a smaller ligament.”

The injury occurred Monday during Baltimore’s game at Tampa Bay. Machado was running out a single and stepped awkwardly on the inside of the base. He tumbled to the ground and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.

The Orioles feared Machado tore his ACL, which would have kept him sidelined into the 2014 season.

“I was relieved because it’s a good report,” said Dan Duquette, executive vice president of baseball operations. “If everything falls into place like we think, this is something he could recover from with rest. Of course, he’s out for the rest of the season, but he will be able to

come back and play next year.”

The 21-year-old Machado had played in every game this season and was an integral part of team’s success. He’s batting .283 with 14 homers, 71 RBIs and 51 doubles.

Machado’s teammates were horrified when he fell to the ground Monday.

“To see a kid that young to go through what he went through at the end of such a phenomenal season, my heart broke for him,” second baseman Brian Roberts said. “He’ll be back 100 percent, no doubt in my mind. Coming back, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

Certainly, he’s got age of his side. He’s got a lot of great things going for him, and hopefully he comes back better than he’s ever been. At the time, though, it was demoralizing for all of us.”

The news that the injury was far less severe than

expected was met with relief in the clubhouse and throughout the organization. Machado, a former No. 1 draft pick, has been an integral part in the Orioles’ high quality of play over the past two seasons.

Baltimore Or ioles’ Manny Machado grabs his left leg after it buckled while he was running to first base.

“It’s good news for the clubhouse,” manager Buck Showalter said. “As much for the person as what it means. They all have really come to respect Manny and the way he carries himself.”

Machado has earned the respect of those from other teams by the way he carries himself on the field.

“A guy like him, everything he does is right,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “The approach to the game, the effort he gives. He’s in a different category.”

Pittsburgh fans embracing playoff-bound Pirates

AP

Pirates outfielder Starling Marte celebrates a home run during Pittsburgh’s 2-1 victory over the Cubs Monday.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The image is seared into 12-year-old Chad Rowland’s memory forever.

The slightly up the line throw up from Barry Bonds. The dive to the plate by catcher Mike LaValliere. The textbook slide by Sid Bream. The Pittsburgh Pirates walking off the field in stunned silence after collapsing in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS. The Atlanta Braves piling on top of each other in jubilation on their way to the World Series.

Even now, 21 years later, it still stings.

“You never love baseball more than when you were 12,” Rowland said.

“I cried my eyes out that night.”

The tears were welling again on Monday night, this time for an entirely different reason. This time, the throw from the superstar outfielder was wisely cut off by the veteran first baseman picked up at the waiver deadline.

This time, the catcher was positioned right on top of the plate. This time, the

runner was out.

This time, finally, the Pittsburgh Pirates were on the right side of history.

One of the sport’s most beleaguered – to put it mildly – franchises is back in the postseason. Pittsburgh clinched a spot in the NL playoffs on Monday night when catcher Russell Martin tagged out Chicago’s Nate Schierholtz at home to end a thrilling 2-1 victory at Wrigley Field that reverberated in a bar 500 miles to the east, where Rowland let a generation of anguish and angst melt away.

“I was freaking out,” Rowland said.

He wasn’t alone.

At a time of year when the Pirates are typically playing out the string and attention in the selfdubbed “City of Champions” turns to the Steelers and the Penguins, the Pirates – yes, the Pirates – are currently the hottest thing going.

A steady stream of fans poured into the team’s store at PNC Park on Tuesday, many of them with cups of coffee in hand try-

ing to fend off the effects of another late night in a season that has restored the faith of one of baseball’s most tormented – not to mention faithful – fan bases.

Rick Hilinski ducked in to pick up a pair of hooded sweatshirts celebrating the playoff berth.

One of the sweatshirts was for him. The other was for his son, R.K., born a few months before Bream’s now iconic slide sent the club spinning into a record-setting run of futility.

Hilinski became a season-ticket holder in 2011, believing the hiring of manager Clint Hurdle and the emergence of talented center fielder Andrew McCutchen were harbingers of the clouds finally parting. Hilinski remembers the good old days, when Roberto Clemente tracked down fly balls in the outfield at Three Rivers Stadium and Willie Stargell tried to hit home runs into the Allegheny River.

The Pirates used to be postseason regulars back then. Between 1960 and 1992, the Pirates won three

World Series and made the playoffs 10 times. Hilinski spent countless nights during his childhood sitting with his father and uncle hanging on every pitch. Now he does it with his son, who grew up doing karate “because nobody really wanted to play baseball.” Together they’ve watched a renaissance decades in the making.

As painful as it has been, the journey made the destination all the sweeter.

For years when Hilinski would try to talk to his friends about the Pirates, the subject would quickly shift to the Steelers. Now? Not so much.

“It’s nice to finally be able to say ‘Yeah, we’re doing a little better for a change,’” Hilinski said.

And don’t think the neighbors haven’t noticed. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, clad in a Clemente jersey, took in batting practice before last Friday’s game against the Reds and live-tweeted from the Pirates’ Twitter account from the stands.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin dropped Hurdle a line

on Tuesday morning reminding Hurdle there’s still more work to do.

“It’s big for them, it’s big for our community,” Tomlin said. “It’s just awesome. I look forward to watching him represent us in the playoffs and going to chase the big prize.”

While not even a world championship would unseat the Steelers’ spot atop the pyramid in one of the most sports-rabid towns in the country, the Pirates are making inroads. Local TV ratings are up and more than 2.26 million people poured through the gates of a stadium considered by many to be the best in baseball.

Hurdle isn’t joking when he says he received a standing ovation recently during his daily trip to the local coffee shop. When the unwaveringly confident manager dropped his children off at school on Friday a few hours before a pivotal three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds, one of the teachers told him it was “Pirate Day” as kids walked by in McCutchen T-shirts. Lo-

cal businesses have caught pennant fever too. The Gulf Tower – easily visible from home plate at PNC Park – now flashes black and yellow when the Bucs score a run and practically hits tilt when they win.

Though there is no guarantee of a home playoff game, there’s a sense the last six months have gone a long way toward erasing 20 summers of heartache.

General manager Neal Huntington cautioned over the weekend that “the hardest part is still to come” as the club tries to prove it’s far from a oneyear wonder.

At the moment, the people who hang Jolly Roger flags from their front porches don’t care. At the moment, the Pirates are in, and that’s all that matters.

“I’ve seen the Penguins win the (Stanley) Cup, I’ve seen the Steelers win the Super Bowl,” Rowland said. “This is the one thing on my list ... I’ve been holding on to it forever.”

At last, Rowland – like so many others – can finally let it go.

Lions’ receiver Burleson breaks arm in car crash

AP

Receiver Nate Burleson tries to evade a Minnesota defender.

ALLEN PARK, Mich.

(AP) — Two days after a victory that for this franchise was downright historic, the Detroit Lions are facing another dose of adversity.

Receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm in a single-car accident early Tuesday after he reached over to keep two pizza boxes from falling off the front passenger seat, authorities said. Coach Jim Schwartz stopped short of writing off the rest of Burleson’s season, but surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.

“It’s not an emergency surgery,” Schwartz said.

“Nate’ll be back at some point, and when he will, he will be a big contributor

again to our team.”

Burleson’s car hit a center median wall on a highway in suburban Detroit and he was taken to a hospital. Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said there were no indicators of alcohol on the scene or on Burleson’s person after the crash at 2:25 a.m.

The team didn’t say which arm was broken.

Burleson has a teamhigh 19 catches – 10 for first downs – and his 239 yards receiving is second to Calvin Johnson on the Lions. The 11-year veteran had six receptions for 116 yards, his highest total since 2007, on Sunday to help Detroit win

at Washington for the first time in franchise history.

“Any time you’re in a highway accident, there’s potential for worse than broken bones,” Schwartz said. “I think we’ve all dealt with some sort of distraction driving before. I’ve cured myself of texting and driving. I did for about two months – and now I’ve got that SYNC thing with the Fords. I never even touch my cellphone in the car, but one thing that I probably need to cure myself of is eating and driving.

“There’s too many times I leave the office real late at night, and you grab something – and I’ve had it hap-

pen to me – drop it on your lap or do something else.

That’s stuff we all need to learn from.”

The Lions signed Burleson in 2010 to complement Johnson, and he has done that when healthy. He had 128 receptions for 1,382 yards and nine touchdowns in his first two seasons in Detroit. Burleson, a charismatic presence on and off the field, is also one of the team’s leaders.

“It’s tough,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “Obviously Nate had a great game last game. He’s been a big part of our team since he’s been here.”

Burleson broke his right

leg last year at Chicago and missed the last 10 games of the season. He bounced back this year by making six catches in the seasonopening victory against Minnesota, one of his former teams, and had seven receptions in a Week 2 loss at Arizona. He has 437 career receptions for 5,408 yards and 38 TDs with the Lions, Seattle Seahawks and Vikings.

Burleson is set to be honored next month as the Lions’ 2013 Ed Block Courage Award recipient. The award honors players for overcoming a hardship.

“I was thinking about it: It is hard to see a guy fight so

hard to come back so quick.

Came back beyond 100 percent to me,” center Dominic Raiola said. “And then this happens. It is hard, but Nate’s a fighter, and he’ll come back again.”

Detroit (2-1) likely will have to lean on other secondary receivers, such as second-year pro Ryan Broyles, on Sunday at home against the Chicago Bears (3-0) in a matchup of the top two teams in the NFC North.

Broyles played 10 games last season, but he went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He also tore the ACL in his left knee when he was a senior at Oklahoma.
