Robinson & McElwee, PLLC, a Charleston-based law firm that has been in practice since 1983, donated $100,000 in scholarship money to the West Virginia University College of Law. Additionally, the firm created the E. Glenn Robinson Memorial Scholarship in memory of, E.

Qdoba WV franchises host fundraiser to benefit breast cancer BY MEGAN CALDERADO STAFF WRITER @DailyAthenaeum

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Qdoba Mexican Grill is raising money during the month of October for the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment Fund. Oct. 1-7, Qdoba will donate $1 from every chips and queso order, and for the entire month of October, 10 percent of all catering profits will be donated, as well. Katherine Herbst, marketing intern for Qdoba, said the restaurant hosts a lot of fundraisers throughout the year, but this one is her favorite. “It seems like everybody’s lives have been touched by breast cancer,” Herbst said. “My mom’s had it twice and had lumpectomies in each breast. It’s really close to me, and it’s really close to a lot of different people. They just don’t know how they

Travis Braden, a 19-year-old sophomore engineering student from Wheeling, W.Va., clinched the ARCA/CRA Super Series title last weekend in dominant fashion. Braden won rookie of the year honors last season and has been driving in a gold and blue car, sponsored by West Virginia University, during the 2013 season. All Braden had to do to secure the title was show up to the Lucas Oil Speedway in Indianapolis and start the race. Just for fun, he won it. “Our goal wasn’t even to kind of worry about the c h a m p i o n s h i p,”

This is a great way to help the women who wouldn’t normally be able to fight it themselves.” The West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment Fund helps support women who have insufficient or no insurance. Herbst said her mother was lucky enough to notice the disease early, which is why she wants to help women have more knowledge and access to the necessary medical support. “A lot of single moms can’t afford it, and this helps them to get screening and treatment,” Herbst said. Although Qdoba restaurants are in 45 states and two Canadian provinces, West Virginia is the only state to do this promotion. “Everything is local, which is why I like this fundraiser. This is just a West Virginia thing, and it’s something special we decided to do because so

Braden said. “We won five races, and there were two or three more we should have won. When you win races, you win championships.” In addition to his five wins, Braden finished in the top 10 in all but four races. “There was a lot of pressure, and we started off pretty decent. We got on a roll, and we’ve been winning races,” Braden said. “It’s just been a heck of a year to be as dominant as we have been.” Braden said the partnership with WVU has given him extra motivation to perform on the track. “They’re putting trust in me, and I’m going out

Local police departments give safety tips, release annual crime statistics BY Summer Ratcliff CITY EDITOR @SummerRatcliff

West Virginia University’s on-campus police department has released its annual campus security report for 2012, and the numbers don’t lie. The report includes WVU campus crime and safety statistics for the last

three years, showing a decrease in the numbers of violent crimes occuring on campus. University Police Chief Bob Roberts said violent crimes are on a consistent downward trend, which is their main priority. “Overall, we are most concerned with the violent crimes when we do our reports, and those have been

down; that’s what we really want,” Roberts said. While the violent crimes are trending downward, Roberts said property crimes are higher than they have been in past years. “Most of those (property crimes) were thefts and a number of those

Disney College Program offers ‘magical’ experience for students by summer ratcliff & Madison fleck da staff @dailyathenaeum

Students have the o p p o r t u n i t y t o re turn to their childhood through the Disney College Program, which is currently accepting applications. The program is a fourto-six-month internship located at both the Walt

Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla., and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. According to its website, Disney interns will become part of the magic that is known worldwide and get valuable, on-the-job experience. “It’s a real life experience that you’re not going to get anywhere else, and you get to live in Florida, 10 minutes from ev-

erything. It’s perfect,” said Allison Heller, public relations student and West Virginia University representative for the program. Heller said there have been 10,000-12,000 applicants so far this year, and the site has only been live for roughly two and a half weeks. Last spring, there were around 23,000 applicants, of which only 7,000 were chosen to participate in

GLOBAL news

Global study: World not ready for aging population

Elderly men sit in a stairwell of a subway station in Taipei, Taiwan. According to its cabinet-level Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD), Taiwan faces an accelerated aging population and declining fertility rate. In a few years, the elderly population will outnumber the juvenile population, meaning the population older than 65 will be about four times the population under 14. (AP) –The world is aging so fast that most countries are not prepared to support their swelling numbers of elderly people, according to a global study being issued Tuesday by the United Nations and an elder rights group. The report ranks the social and economic well-being of elders in 91 countries, with Sweden coming out on top and Afghanistan at the bottom. It reflects what advocates for the old have been warning, with increasing urgency, for years: Nations are simply not working quickly enough to cope with a population graying faster than ever before. By the year 2050, for the first time in history, seniors older than 60 will outnumber children younger than 15.

Truong Tien Thao, who runs a small tea shop on the sidewalk near his home in Hanoi, Vietnam, is 65 and acutely aware that he, like millions of others, is plunging into old age without a safety net. He wishes he could retire, but he and his 61-year-old wife depend on the $50 a month they earn from the shop. And so every day, Thao rises early to open the stall at 6 a.m. and works until 2 p.m., when his wife takes over until closing. “People at my age should have a rest, but I still have to work to make our ends meet,” he says, while waiting for customers at the shop, which sells green tea, cigarettes and chewing gum. “My wife and I have no pension, no health insurance.

I’m scared of thinking of being sick – I don’t know how I can pay for the medical care.” Thao’s story reflects a key point in the report, which was released early to The Associated Press: Aging is an issue across the world. Perhaps surprisingly, the report shows that the fastest aging countries are developing ones, such as Jordan, Laos, Mongolia, Nicaragua and Vietnam, where the number of older people will more than triple by 2050. All ranked in the bottom half of the index. The Global AgeWatch Index (www.globalagewatch. org) was created by elder advocacy group HelpAge International and the U.N. Population Fund in part to address a lack of interna-

tional data on the extent and impact of global aging. The index, released on the U.N.’s International Day of Older Persons, compiles data from the U.N., World Health Organization, World Bank and other global agencies, and analyzes income, health, education, employment and age-friendly environment in each country. The index was welcomed by elder rights advocates, who have long complained that a lack of data has thwarted their attempts to raise the issue on government agendas. “Unless you measure something, it doesn’t really exist in the minds of decision-makers,” said John Beard, Director of Ageing and Life Course for the

World Health Organization. “One of the challenges for population aging is that we don’t even collect the data, let alone start to analyze it. ... For example, we’ve been talking about how people are living longer, but I can’t tell you people are living longer and sicker, or longer in good health.” The report fits into an increasingly complex picture of aging and what it means to the world. On the one hand, the fact that people are living longer is a testament to advances in health care and nutrition, and advocates emphasize that the elderly should be seen not as a burden but as a resource. On the other, many countries still lack a basic social protection floor that pro-

Roberts said the department attributes the reduced levels of violent crimes to the force being more visible on campus along with the increase in cell phone cameras that can capture people who are committing crimes. “We’ve increased our numbers of cadets – those are students who work with our department; initially we had 10 and we are now up to 32,” Roberts said. “Another thing that has helped is today’s cell phone technology. They are basically like surveillance cameras that everyone has in their pockets.” In addition to the decreased levels of crimes occurring on WVU’s campus, crime levels in the city of Morgantown have also begun to decrease. “Morgantown is approximately 35 percent below the national average as far as crime goes,” said Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston. “When you look at years 2009 to now, we are lower in assaults in any time in those previous years. For burglaries we are about in the middle of where we have been, for larceny we are a little above last year but lower than years prior to that, and for property damages we are at the lowest we have been in the past five years.” The Morgantown Police Department attributes the reduction of these crimes to the broad changes they made in areas of congestion and because of their usage of social media. “With assaults, for example, we have traditionally had a problem with assaults and batteries in our highly congested areas: tail-

gates, football games and at the bars. Anywhere there is a large gathering of people there will be (an) increased numbers of crimes,” Preston said. “So, we worked to relieve the congestion areas. We moved taxi stands and bus stops.” Preston said his department is constantly working to make changes and improvements that will continue to reduce the numbers of both violent and non-violent crimes in the city of Morgantown. “The relationship we have with WVU also helps,” Preston said. “If a student does something and commits a crime out in town, it gets reported to the University and then goes before the student conduct board. More of these types of things will only continue to help.” Preston said one of the most important things students and community members can do to remain safe is to constantly be aware of their surroundings. “For individual safety, never walk alone, especially at night,” Preston said. “The other part of that is to have your phone or keys in your hand and ready. Don’t spend time digging through your purse or your pockets.” For more tips about staying safe or to view more crime statistics, visit the University Police Department’s website at http://police. wvu.edu/ or the Morgantown Police Department’s website at http://www. morgantownwv.gov/government/city-government/ police-department/.

Not only do students get hands-on experience, but they get to experience the magic of the company as tourists do. “You get to see different aspects of it and see why people pay so much to get the services that they get,” Heller said.

Roberts said one thing students can do to protect their property at the Rec Center is to ensure their cell phones or wallets remain on their person or in a locker while they work out. Most thefts that occur on campus tend to be thefts of opportunity, where personal items have been left unguarded. “A lot of students in the dorms leave their doors unlocked or their property unattended,” Roberts said. “Students should lock their doors when they leave their rooms and make sure their roommates are doing the same.” In addition to ensuring dorm doors are locked, University Police offer a free service to students called Operation ID. This system allows students to mark their important property with an engraving that is registered in a national database. Roberts said students can schedule a time for UPD to visit their dorms by speaking with their Resident Assistants. “We will bring the forms and engravers to your dorm to mark all of your property,” Roberts said. “These things allow us to enter your lost property into a national system and work to return those items to you.”

Not that we don’t always want to win, but it was kind of the extra motivation.” Most of Braden’s commitments off the track have been in connection with the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. Mary Dillon, coordi-

nator for marketing and communications, believes Braden has done a good job in representing the University. “I think it’s been a very successful partnership,” Dillon said. “Travis has represented himself very well in all his personal appearances, and obviously he’s very successful on the track and in the classroom as well, which is exactly what we like to see out of our students. I’m interested to see what happens in the future.” With only one race left in the season, Braden is look-

ing to take the next step in his career as he feels he has nothing left to prove in the ARCA/CRA Super Series. In order to do so, he needs help from financial sponsors. “Skill-wise, I’ve proven that I’m as good as it gets on this level so I’m somewhat qualified to go on to the next step,” Braden said. “We’re looking into getting in to the lower levels of NASCAR. It’s definitely possible to do it as long as we can find the financial help.”

Local band Fletcher’s Grove develops side project BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR @LACEYPALMER

One hometown favorite band has formed a side project to keep the entertainment in Morgantown going, and they will perform their first gig tonight at Gibbie’s Pub & Eatery. Locally renowned Fletcher’s Grove is a five-piece which effortlessly weaves funk, rock and jazz into a contagious jam-band sound. Three of

their members have formed Threesome Grove. The group is comprised of Wes Hager, guitarist/flutist; Taylor Pratt, bassist; and Evan Lintz, drummer. “We love to play Morgantown. It’s our home and easily our best crowd,” Pratt said. “This new side project gives us a chance to play smaller shows on weekdays, obtain some new fans in the process and bring some of our friends onstage to just jam and have a good time.”

Special guest and friend of the group, Chris Murray, will join the group onstage tonight to supply vocals. According to Murray, the side project is a great way for the group to combine their rock ’n’ roll obsession with their thirst for performance. “It only made sense to (be a part of) this new project, in which we will be covering multiple hit songs from the group’s favorite bands, including The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Talking Heads

and Led Zeppelin, as well as a handful of songs from Rage Against The Machine, Les Claypool and Sammy Hagar,” Murray said. Each musician has a lengthy background in the industry. Hager is a jazz pedagogy student at WVU who performed his master’s recital in the spring. Along with the group’s schooling, jobs, Fletcher’s Grove regular shows and now the Threesome Grove project, their schedule is packed.

According to Pratt, the group simply loves playing and wants to do so as much as possible. Anyone who has been to a Fletcher’s Grove show is sure to enjoy Threesome Grove’s performance. “People coming can expect a Fletcher’s vibe with a little twist of whatever’s in the air tonight,” Pratt said. Murray said the group is unique in the aspect that they are not trying to be unique. “We just feel like every town

should have a sweet-ass rock ’n’ roll cover band,” Murray said. “And, as a musician, it’s fulfilling to get to spend time doing what you love to do, even if it’s for a short period of time.” Catch Threesome Grove’s first performance tonight at 10 at Gibbie’s Pub. The cover will be $3. To learn more about Threesome Grove, visit www.facebook.com/fletchersgrove. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Nappy Roots transforms Rocktop Friday night British record producer to bring talents to 123 BY SAM BOSSERMAN CORRESPONDENT @DAilyathenaeum

Skinny Deville of Nappy Roots performs at Rocktop Bar & Grill Friday.

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Besides 123 Pleasant Street, Morgantown doesn’t have a wide array of consistent music venues, but there are places that feature high quality shows every now and again. Last Friday, Morgantown’s own Rocktop Bar & Grill hosted a lineup of rap and hip-hop acts who got the party going in full force. The scene at Rocktop is something to behold in itself. The lights and bustling nightlife of Morgantown can be seen in all it’s grandeur from a rooftop on Chestnut Street, A large covered bar stands at one end of the open floor plan. Torches burn bright in the dark, casting a warm

glow over the scene. Moving toward the other end, there are comfortable modernstyle couches and chairs situated in an area bordered by both a pool and a hot tub, in which a few patrons relaxed despite the fall chill in the air. Up on the stage, Jam Master J’son began his set. As the son of the one and only late J Master J of Run DMC fame, he displayed a penchant for scratching up some of the ‘90s and 2000s hits, mixing them together in a way that kept the party vibing without harsh or awkward breaks between tracks. As the night drew on, the crowd started getting larger and the patrons were loosening up as they enjoyed their drinks, taking advantage of several deals includ-

ing $2 domestic cans. The support acts for the night, both Boogie Boyzzz and Ponce de’ Leioun, took things to a new level with their own interpretations of rap music. While Ponce de’ Leioun epitomizes the current rap sound in all its brazen confidence and blistering beats, Boogie Boyzzz put together a set that was much more hip-hop with a great deal of funk influences in their backing tracks. Both acts served as a fitting backdrop to a night with imagery straight out of a rap music video. After the opening sets were through, Nappy Roots took the stage. They laid down their turn-of-the-millennium rhymes with skill and swagger, showing the crowd just why they were

Tatt-uesday

the best selling hip-hop act in 2002 and that they haven’t lost a step over the years. To the adulation of the audience, they dusted off and brought out the hits that everyone had come to hear: “Po Folks,” “Good Day” and “Awnaw.” They spit their rhymes in near CD quality fashion, which is much more than can be said for other, more popular rap outfits. All the while, they traversed across the length of the stage articulating with their hand gestures and hyping up the bar. Together they kept the place bumping all night and made the evening a fitting pre-cursor to a wild Morgantown weekend. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

British DJ and record producer OTT has made the trip across the pond and will be performing at 123 Pleasant Street Tuesday night. The trip to the states is not one made often by OTT, and anyone with an enthusiasm for dub or psychedelic-influenced music should consider it a great opportunity. Music to Your Ears Productions, the company putting on the show, provided a history of OTT’s career, portraying him as someone who is very passionate and incredibility talented. After beginning his career in the ‘80s in London, OTT worked diligently as an engineer in a variety of studios. Many years of hard work in the music scene allowed OTT to refine his skills and work with some of the best DJs London had to offer. Adam Payne, owner of Music to Your Ears Productions, said that OTT has not only had a hugely successful solo career but has been able work with several other well-known artists. “The artist who is mostly associated with OTT is Sphongles Simon Posford,” Payne said. “OTT has produced numerous tracks with Posford and has also worked with The Orb.” OTT first made a name for himself in the international music community remixing classic hallucinogen trance tracks into dub mixes perfect for just chilling out. The critically acclaimed album “Hallucinogen – in dub” included six such tracks and served as a spring board for OTT’s

career. Payne said OTT has a unique entertaining style that few other performers possess. “OTT is a genius producer whose style is only compared with musicians who have a true passion for artistic expression,” Payne said. “His psychedelic dub style lays the foundation for a show full of visual and auditory bliss.” Payne also said OTT has had success in the region before and was one of the reasons he wanted to bring that success to a Morgantown audience. “OTT has had success in our region through packed shows in Pittsburgh and Ohio,” Payne said. “He was one of the most talked about artists at Papadosio Rootwire Festival.” In addition to talking about OTT, Payne said seeing local artist Quortz will also be well worth the price of admission. Payne said Quortz is a well-known leader in the Morgantown music scene. “She is a veteran of EDM who really stands for the underground grassroots movement of the DJ culture,” Payne said. “She spearheaded 123’s local Fresh Produce event, which would feature bands, artists, vendors and DJs. “The event would bring together lots of different genres of music and art in a push to get Morgantown’s music community together.” The show featuring OTT and Quortz will be at 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 10.

New Barbie look illicits backlash

Boy or girl, young or old, Barbie has been as much a part of our lives as grilled cheese and old-school Nickelodeon shows. But recently the doll, first introduced to toy stores in 1959, has come into some hot water. Barbie is no stranger to negative press, though usually she is criticized more for her unrealistic body shape and general self-esteem issues to which young girls may be susceptible. But it’s not Barbie’s impossibly narrow waist and scarily long legs that are attracting all the attention: it’s her new makeover. The Tokidoki Barbie was released on barbiecollector. com, a website devoted to adult collectors of the time-

less toy. Created by Italian designer Simone Legno, the Tokidoki Barbie has a short, hot pink bob, leopard leggings, a heart-and-crossbones sweater and, perhaps the most shocking cry from the original blonde bombshell of a doll, multiple tattoos along her shoulders, neck and chest. Given Barbie’s popularity among impressionable young girls, it’s understandable adults would be concerned about the image she imparts to her younger fan base. But with a whopping 23 percent of Americans sporting ink, and even more dyeing their hair unnatural colors, what is more surprising than Barbie’s uncharacter-

istic makeover is the response to an image that is, for better or worse, a representation of Americans today. Body art, vibrant hair and edgy clothes may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the fact remains there are young girls who do aspire to look like the Tokidoki Barbie, who exudes a distinct devil-may-care attitude many could potentially benefit from. The Barbie backlash ultimately speaks less about the doll and more about the general view of an edgier vibe, something commonly seen in adolescents and young adults alike. Although a sassier image undoubtedly leaves an impression, there does seem

to be a general disapproval for the very qualities this Tokidoki Barbie exhibits, and parents are becoming afraid. What many don’t realize, however, is that quelling these interests – such as getting a tattoo or dyeing your hair bubblegum pink – only serves to spark a curiosity. Even something as silly as berating a particularly avant-garde Barbie speaks volumes about how this same image, when exhibited by real individuals, is received by the general public. Perhaps we are better off worrying about Barbie’s frightening body proportions. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Understanding the homesickness epidemic

op-ed commentary

morgan krieger guest columnist

About 100 people gathered outside Walmart in Richmond, Va., store November 2012 to protest against Walmart wages and benefits.

http://blogs.kqed.org/

Consumers rise to fight Wal-Mart emily torbett guest columnist

Few companies have been the subject of as much controversy as WalMart has. For the past decade, the massive chain of superstores has been berated for the safety (or lack thereof ) of its parking lots to its exploitation of cheap overseas labor. Many have criticized its deliberate undercutting of the small businesses that drive our nation, as well as the damage Wal-Mart has done to both the domestic and global economies. Despite the controversial business practices of the retail giant, 60 percent of Americans still filter in and out of Wal-Mart stores each and every month. Consumers spend an average of $36 million at its checkout lines every hour of every day. The company’s total sales is an unprecedented $405 billion annually. The term “recordbreaking” is hardly enough to describe the colossal amount of cash flowing

into Wal-Mart’s already enormous pockets. The company has always managed to increase its bottom line time and time again. Wal-Mart has hardly been phased by the dwindling amount of boycotters who oppose the company’s selling of genetically modified foods or its nonexistent safety regulations in Bangladesh garment factories. However, it now faces a direct and growing threat like never before. Within weeks of Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, WalMart workers and their supporters across the country are planning to come together in record numbers for what may be the biggest strike against the retail giant ever attempted in the United States. In an email statement from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, the strikes and protests were promised to be both widespread and massive. This is not the first time the union has attempted action against the company. 2012’s post-Thanks-

giving shopping madness prompted the UFCW to organize a walk out of more than 400 Wal-Mart store employees in the largest and highest-profile protest against the company to date. Company employees are organizing a fight for better wages, working conditions and health care. Despite the status of company founder Sam Walton’s family as the richest in the world, as well as the skyrocketing salaries of executives and ever-increasing dividends paid to shareholders, the WalMart’s sales associates are paid minimum wage, given extremely limited health benefits and denied overtime pay. The protests against Wal-Mart aren’t just going to be made up of employees this year. In fact, there are several reasons why consumers should support their fight. Whether you work for Wal-Mart or not, you are affected by their unethical business practices. The cost of Wal-Mart employees’ enrollment in social welfare programs such as Medicaid and food stamps

falls on the shoulder of the taxpayer. In fact, taxpayers are forced to subsidize the low pay and poor benefits of Wal-Mart employees to more than $80 billion annually. A study conducted in Wisconsin shows that a single, 300-employee store costs taxpayers more than $1.7 million per year. The time has come for the “99 percent” in this country to stand up and demand more. Getting involved and supporting the efforts of those organizing against Wal-Mart is an excellent place to start, and your efforts can be as simple as refusing to shop in Wal-Mart stores on Black Friday. As a company that has at least one store located within 15 minutes of 90 percent of United States citizens, Wal-Mart has become a leader for other retailers and companies across the country. If we force Wal-Mart to compensate its workers fairly, other companies are likely to follow in its footsteps and make the welfare of even the country’s lowest earners a priority once again. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

I never thought I would be the one to get homesick. In fact, the term homesick was pretty foreign to me. I traveled the country without my family throughout high school, so I thought I would be the last one to be infected by this awful disease called homesickness. I actually envied my friends who were lucky enough to go to school seven-plus hours away from home and even bragged by saying I would never come home before Thanksgiving break. I quickly ate those words. I kept telling people that going to college is a different kind of homesick, but I really couldn’t explain it beyond that. I had never felt homesickness, so how would I know if I was? What is it to actually be homesick? According to dictionary. com, homesick is the act of being “sad or depressed from a longing for home or family while away from them for a long time.” University of Warwick’s counseling site stated typical physical and emotional symptoms include “loss of concentration, crying and sadness, difficulties in sleeping or eating, waves of emotion, disrupted menstrual cycle, nausea, headaches, dizziness, trembling and feeling either too hot or too cold.” Not only are you emotionally unstable, but being homesick affects your school work, sleeping and eating schedules. When these three components are out of whack, it’s nearly impossible to survive a single day. This chain of events leaves you stressed and therefore longing even more for home, resulting in a never-ending cycle. How can you tell if you’re beginning to feel homesick? University of Warwick offered 10 clear symptoms of homesickness. At first you begin to miss your friends. Then you feel the need to go home or at least call home as much as possible. You begin to feel a desire to be with family again, and you resent having to look after yourself. You complain about living with people you don’t know very well, and you form self-identity issues, meaning you are not sure who you are in this new place. Then you feel like no one likes you; you feel trapped and the need to cry especially when you are alone, and, finally, you come to

the conclusion everyone else is fine and you are the odd one out. Each and every step fit perfectly into the progression of my homesickness. So the weekend finally came, and I was able to go home for a visit, clearly extremely short of my predetermined goal of staying until Thanksgiving break. I was confident I just didn’t like school and Morgantown was not for me because I absolutely dreaded coming back. But the next weekend was the start of Formal Sorority Rush, so I kept an open mind. Maybe I just needed to be part of something smaller than the entire student population of the University, but still big enough to meet people. I had an epiphany when I went through rush and loved the sense of community and schedule I had been longing for from home. I was allowing myself too much free time, when in reality I was in dire need to stay busy. I was amazed the solution was so easy, so I did research on all of the student activities and clubs I had been missing out on because I was so focused on making myself homesick. There is something to do any hour of the day, any day of the week for every hobby you could imagine. There are so many awesome activities and roles students can and should experience on campus. Finding something you love to do is the ultimate cure to homesickness. How ridiculously easy is that? One of the most helpful things you can do to get past homesickness is to belong to one or more of the University’s organizations. This could be any University activity, not necessarily a sorority or fraternity. Being homesick is normal, especially if you are particularly close with your family or worry about them, live a great distance away from home or suffer from additional anxiety. But remember: you are not alone. The majority of students on campus have most likely suffered to a degree from homesickness. Use this to your advantage and talk to them. Use other resources as well; talk to counselors, advisors and teachers you have grown to trust. Lastly, don’t be so hard on yourself. Credit yourself with what is actually going well and what you are doing right. Nobody is perfect. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will alternate between being the extreme extrovert and the recluse whom no one can find. You will network and expand your horizons, yet you also will take frequent timeouts. During the more introverted periods, you will reflect and verify whether you have made the right choices for yourself. If you are single, meeting people comes easily; however, learning to choose the right person is a different issue entirely. If you are attached, enjoy the closeness that the two of you create as a couple. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Others desire your precision and your ability to handle details. Your compassion comes across through your semi-businesslike attitude. When

you express your feelings, the other party gets the message. Tonight: The challenge is not to get involved in a power play. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH The morning might be the most important part of your day. Your followthrough counts with a boss or with someone you would like to impress. Your creativity will inspire others, especially a close friend. Tonight: Live today as if there were no tomorrow. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You will flow with ease in the morning. Make important calls at that time, and/or handle any dealings involving others. By afternoon, you will be best served by cocooning at home. Know that you will get a lot done once you emerge, and quickly at that. Tonight: Head home.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Try to be more in sync with others, and know full well what you need to do. Honor a change that is going on, even if you do not necessarily feel comfortable with it. Let someone know how much you care. Plan to visit this person soon. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Move forward with a project that has been on the back burner. You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be in the afternoon. Realize that there is a good reason for this lack of confidence, as someone could be trying to sabotage your plans. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You might sense a change of energy midday. Use the high energy of the afternoon to forge ahead with an im-

portant cause; otherwise, a loved one could become very difficult. Understand that this person is set on having things go his or her way. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Use the morning to the fullest, when networking is favored and getting along with others is highlighted. You will have your way, as long as you use the time well. By the afternoon, you could feel overwhelmed and be in need of some personal time. Tonight: Be less available. SCORPIO (OC T. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Be aware of the fact that you are about to accept yet another responsibility. If you don’t want to take on this task, make yourself more aware of the nuances in your conversations. A meeting in the afternoon could be your major con-

cern. Tonight: Only where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You’ll have a limited amount of time to proceed in a certain direction or to blaze a new trail. Allow your innate leadership qualities to emerge. Know that the possibility exists that you no longer will have the same freedom to explore alternatives. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH A partner might demand more of your attention than you willingly want to give him or her this morning. Do not be surprised if this behavior resurges later today. Detach, and perhaps distance yourself, in order to see how to integrate what you must do. Tonight: Surf the Web.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You might feel as if you are a social director on a cruise, as so many people want to see you and speak with you. You give a sense of direction to many people’s dreams. Someone might want to isolate you in order to monopolize your time. Tonight: Visit with friends over dinner. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Get an early start, if possible, and handle the most important matters first. You could find that you won’t be able to concentrate to the same degree, come afternoon. A meeting with a boss or parent might steal the scene. Listen to what this person says. Tonight: Opt to not be alone.

Weekend TeleVision Recap:

A number of shows premiere new seasons; one concludes epic storyline ‘Eastbound & Down’ catches audiences off guard

huffingtonpost.com

Kenny Powers and Stevie Janowski work at a rental car company.

Nick Wesdock A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Editor’s Note: This story may contain spoilers. Danny McBride returned to HBO Sunday night as Kenny Powers in the season four premiere of “Eastbound & Down.” For the first 15 minutes of the episode, viewers who were expecting to see the typical cocaine-fueled misadventures of the old Kenny Powers might have been caught off guard. In season four, Powers is a changed man. After faking his own death at the conclusion of last season, he is reborn as an average, responsible, working-class husband and father – or so he thinks. As hard as Powers tries to portray himself as a new man, it is clear he’s not happy. Glimpses of his former self – a tempertantrum-throwing deviant – begin to shine through. It doesn’t take long for Powers to begin throwing around racist jokes. When he and his current wife, April, throw a dinner party with some “lamea--” friends, Powers gets upset

and makes fun of one couple’s adopted Vietnamese children. The next day, Powers runs into an old teammate while delivering a car from the rental company for which he works. He’s so embarrassed he doesn’t even want to talk to his old friend, but in a non-coincidental turn of events, he ends up at a club with him and a bunch of former athletes. Finally, the boring, NPR-loving, resurrected version of Powers snaps when the bank loan for his new swimming pool is denied. He takes to the streets and challenges a random man in what turns out to be a dangerous, full-contact race. Powers pulls into the rental car parking lot with a smashed up Sebring and proceeds to punch his boss in the face before quitting his job. Just like that, the Kenny Powers we all know and love is back. The episode leaves off with Powers indulging in excessive drug use and attempting to dig his own pool. Admittedly slow at first, the first episode of the final season of “Eastbound

& Down” finished strong, opening up countless possibilities for an end to the series. Rumored cameo appearances for the finale include Marilyn Manson and Lindsey Lohan. Fans can only imagine what McBride will do with these characters. McBride and co-creator Jody Hill are comic geniuses who are not afraid to push the boundaries in this HBO smash hit. Nothing is off limits when it comes to making jokes on the set of “Eastbound & Down,” which makes for one of the most offensively hilarious shows on TV. Regardless of how it all ends – whether Powers grows into a mature family man or ends up dead or in jail – it’s going to be a wild ride from here on out, much as it has been in the past three seasons. Get ready for a crazy season full of baseball, drugs and classic Kenny Powers antics. If episode one was any indication, this could be the wildest season yet. New episodes of “Eastbound & Down” air Sunday nights at 10 on HBO. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

OCTOBER BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

‘Breaking Bad’ comes to expected, yet thrilling end

Walter White brings the entire story to a close in the series finale. Editor’s Note: This story may contain spoilers. NEW YORK (AP) — Any “Breaking Bad “ fan could be forgiven for concluding that Sunday’s finale held no major surprises. That’s because this AMC drama series has delivered surprises, shock and OMG moments dependably since its premiere five seasons ago. Just like it did on its final episode. For those who don’t want to be reading how yet, stop reading! And let’s take a few moments for you who aren’t ready to find out what happened to tear your eyes away from this article. OK. Ready? The finale closed the loop on a scene that began Season 5, and found Walt (series star Bryan Cranston) with a beard and a full head of hair at an Albuquerque, N.M., Denny’s restaurant. There he made a swap for a different car than the Volvo he had stolen and driven cross-country from New Hampshire, where, until the final moments of last week’s episode, he was holed up, a most-wanted fugitive from the law. More to the point, Walt in that deal at the Denny’s men’s room became the owner of a very serious rifle. The scene, flashing forward several months ahead to Walt’s 52nd birthday, was no less tantalizing than bewildering to viewers when it aired. On the finale, it revealed itself as a key piece of

the series’ finished puzzle. As the finale began, Walt – cancer-stricken and a hunted man – was headed back home to Albuquerque for a last showdown. In a byzantine and sinister arrangement with the couple who had become tycoons from a pharmaceutical company Walt co-founded but received no benefit from, Walt made sure his children would get the $10 million drug money he left behind with the couple – or else. Walt then dropped in on his estranged wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn), who had made it plain she hated him. “Why are you here?” she asked him coldly. “It’s over,” he said, “and I needed a proper goodbye.” After all this time, he justified out loud his descent from life as a meek, ill-paid chemistry teacher to a life as a legendary drug lord. Before, he had always insisted he did it for his family, to leave them provided for after his death from his terminal cancer. “I did it for me,” he declared to Skyler. “I liked it. I was good at it. And I was alive.” Walt’s former meth-cooking sidekick, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), was still enslaved to a group of bad guys forcing him to cook crystalmeth for them using the laboratory-pristine process Walt had pioneered and prospered with. Walt rescued Jesse: His assault rifle mowed down the bad guys by remote control

hollywoodreporter.com

from the trunk of his car. Freed, Jesse was last seen speeding off, screaming in hysteria, rage and gratitude. Against all odds, he had lived to face another day. For Walt, the outcome was much different. As the cops descended at the scene of the mass slaughter to seize him, he was lying on the floor, dead, apparently from a stray bullet from his own rifle. An inadvertent suicide, he had successfully escaped from the law, his foes and the cancer that was stalking him. And, yes, Walt used the ricin he had held in reserve for ages. He poisoned Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, who had shown the bad judgment to collude with Walt’s enemies on more than one occasion. He substituted it for the sweetener she thought she was putting in her tea. The series ended with Badfinger’s “Baby Blue” (“Guess I got what I deserve”). So did viewers, with a finale that was surprising in its relative lack of carnage, that tied up loose ends and seemed organically fitting, however outlandish at times. Written and directed by Vince Gilligan, the series’ creator, this series went out as it came in, and stayed: wicked, twisted and wildly creative. Certified with its conclusion as perhaps the best TV drama series of all time, “Breaking Bad” remained as pure a product as the crystal meth Walt White cooked, to his peril and demise.

The cast of ‘Once Upon A Time’ are on a boat during the premiere.

Shawnee Moran Associate A&E EDitor @SHAWNEEMORAN22

Editor’s Note: This story may contain spoilers. The third season premiere of the hit fairy tale drama, “Once Upon a Time,” aired Sunday. While the show brings many of our favorite childhood tales to life, this premiere was not as thrilling as I had hoped. However, the rest of the season looks promising from the many developing storylines and new character relations. In this epic 60-minute episode, our favorite fairy tale characters were subjected to the worst parts of Neverland, where last season left off. Last night’s episode attempted to answer many questions that last season left unanswered, the main question being: What will happen to Henry and our favorite characters in Neverland? This episode saw Henry escape the clutches of Tamara and Greg, only to be chased by The Lost Boys and ultimately fall into the hands of the evil Peter Pan. Emma and the rest of the Storybrooke gang fought off evil mermaids and bickered over the loss of Henry and Neal.

Emma blamed her parents for the death of Neal and Henry’s abduction, while Snow and Regina duked it out and dragged everyone else into their fight. Meanwhile, somewhere else in Neverland, we found out that Neal survived both falling through the portal and his gunshot wound. He has been taken in by the likes of Mulan, Aurora and Phillip but is determined to find his way back to Emma. Neal and the newly formed group join together and go back into The Dark One’s castle and meet up with new character Robin Hood. Rumple leaves the Storybrooke crew and finds Tamara in the forest with an arrow sticking out her back, the result of the confrontation from The Lost Boys. He removes the arrow, only to get the necessary information about Henry’s location from her, and then kills her as revenge for his son’s death. I, for one, am glad that Rumple ripped out Tamara’s heart and crushed it, killing her character off the show. As a character, Tamara wasn’t very likeable, and the door is now open for new characters to appear in the show. Even though there were some dry parts to this premiere, this episode sets up a

fanpop.com

promising future for the season. As fans already know, Ariel will appear on the show very soon. However, given the hostility of the mermaids in this episode, will she be evil as well? “Once Upon a Time” is known to throw off viewers’ expectations, so this is quite a possibility. There are several questions to be answered in the next few episodes in order for this season to be successful. What happened to Greg? We saw his shadow get ripped out, and his body fell to the ground. Will he make an appearance again? I think that it would be interesting to see Greg be a part of future episodes of the show, and viewers would likely enjoy witnessing his redemption and eventually finding his father. What does Peter Pan want with Henry and his heart, and how can Emma stop him? Given that this is going to be the main story arc of the season, this is something that we can expect to be answered within the next few episodes. And finally, will Emma ever find Neal again? Stay tuned for next week’s episode of “Once Upon a Time” on ABC Sunday at 8 p.m. shawnee.moran@mail.wvu.edu

GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

Coaching staff must be patient with Trickett Throughout the first five games of the 2013 season, West Virginia has started three different quarterbacks: Paul Millard, Ford Childress and Clint Trickett. What started as an ongoing competition extended to August’s training camp, and then became a battle into the regular season. Each time the job appeared to have been won by either Millard or Childress in the first two weeks, something happened and caused head coach Dana Holgorsen to make a change. For Millard, it was the lack of production, and for Childress, it was an ugly Maryland game and a torn pectoral muscle that ultimately allowed Trickett his shot as starting quarterback. Trickett took advantage of his opportunity Saturday by completing 24 of 50 passes for 309 yards and a touchdown in WVU’s upset victory over then-No. 11 Oklahoma State. He commanded the offense, and there was more natural flow for the unit than in previous games this season. Did it all go well for Trickett? Of course not. Trickett is far from perfect after his first start for WVU. The Florida State transfer has Holgorsen feeling frustrated, because his learning curve of the offense is steep. During Monday morning’s Big 12 Coaches Teleconference, Holgorsen admitted he and his staff’s method of coaching offense is “foreign” to Trickett. This misunderstanding leads to bigger issues, because in Holgorsen’s system – more than any other offense system in the country – the quarterback and coach have to be on the same page. With Holgorsen calling plays and signals from the sideline at a rapid pace, Trickett has the responsibility of not only understanding what Holgorsen is communicating but also to communicate it to his teammates quickly to ensure the team is up-tempo. With the pressure of keeping tempo and understanding communication, the quarterback may struggle with reading the defense during the play. For example, with about eight minutes left in the second quarter during WVU’s win over Oklahoma State, Trickett had the offense moving. After a few completions from Trickett to Cody Clay and Daikiel Shorts and some Oklahoma State penalties, Trickett forced a pass down the field that didn’t need to be thrown. Inside Oklahoma State territory, Trickett launched a throw from the 43-yard line that was picked off by Tyler Patmon. (It was a throw that didn’t have to be made. ) Trickett’s mindset of “get the snap and take shots downfield” was evident Saturday, and that’s fine as long as Holgorsen and his staff understand that mistakes are going to come along with that fearless mentality. There were times during the game when Trickett simply threw the ball and let his receivers try to make a play on it. Mario Alford’s 40-yard catch down the right sideline comes to mind as the prime example. Throws like that are going to be made with Trickett running the offense. If Holgorsen’s okay with that, he’ll live with plays converted but also scratch his head or break his headset when unnecessary passes are forced and the defense takes advantage. The bottom line is until Trickett understands West Virginia’s offense, both the good and bad will happen from series to series. Sometimes the bad may even happen more often than the good, but the West Virginia coaching staff has to be okay with it; Trickett gives them the best chance to win. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Cornerback Ishmael Banks returns an interception against Oklahoma State.

Redshirt junior cornerback Ishmael Banks having impact on West Virginia defense by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Through its first five games, the West Virginia defense has shown obvious improvements from last season. A historically bad defense in 2012, the Mountaineers rank No. 6 in scoring defense in the Big 12 Conference so far in 2013. It was the Mountaineer defense that helped spark the team’s stunning victory over No. 11 Oklahoma State last weekend. Cornerback Ishmael Banks’ 58-yard interception that returned for a touchdown in the first quarter was part of 13 points the Mountain-

eers scored off Oklahoma State’s three turnovers, which is more than the Cowboys had in their first three games combined. The interception was Banks’ first in his Mountaineer career. “It was a big play,” Banks said. “On the way over here on the bus, I kept saying to myself, ‘Make a play and do something that will help this team win.’ And that’s exactly what I did. I made a play.” In addition to his interception, the junior defensive back has 12 tackles in his five starts this season. Hailing from Richmond, Va., Banks was a three-star recruit out of high school. Coming into Saturday’s matinee, the Mountain-

eers were heavy underdogs. WVU was coming off its worst loss in 38 years against an unranked team. With a top-15 team coming to town the following weekend, the idea of winning seemed impossible. “I (saw) an Oklahoma blog that (read) the Cowboys would score 600 points on us,” Banks said. “That made the chip on our shoulder grow a little more.” But for Banks, the idea of losing and falling to 0-2 in conference play never entered his mind. “When we tied it up at 7, it gave our offense a little pep in their step,” he said. “Everybody felt like we can win this. And that’s exactly what we did. We got that

win.” Banks is part of a defense that ranks No. 4 in pass defense and No. 3 in total defense in the Big 12. At this time last year, the Mountaineer defense ranked dead last in nearly every statistical category. Cowboys quarterback J.W. Walsh completed just 20 of his 47 passing attempts, marking the worst completion percentage of his career. “On Tuesday’s practice, everybody came out with a certain type of energy,” Banks said. “We just wanted to play football. It doesn’t matter what conference we’re in, what state we’re in or what team we play for. Football is football when it comes down to it.”

Clint Trickett led the offense to score 30 points Saturday, after they were held scoreless in their previous game. Their 388 yards of total offense was the second-most the Cowboys defense has surrendered this season. While the offense has been inconsistent at times, Banks said he likes what he sees on the opposite side of the field. “I’m proud of the boys (on offense),” Banks said. “After going through the slumps in the first four games, they didn’t let up today. (The offense) got better as the week went on, and that’s all we need. Everybody’s coming along, and I’m (happy) for them.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Quarterback Clint Trickett prepares to take a snap from under center during West Virginia’s win against Oklahoma State.

by doug walp sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Redshirt junior Clint Trickett said he heard John Denver’s “Country Roads” while he mulled over his transfer options once he decided to leave Florida State in the spring. Fast forward a few months, and Trickett found himself back in the state where he spent a majority of his formative years, singing the Denver song with his teammates after toppling the No. 11 team in the nation. “It was a special moment,” Trickett said. “I saw some of my good friends who I grew up with in the stands. I had one of my buddies, Tyler Anderson, next to me. I love that song, love this state and am glad to be back.” It was initially intended for Trickett and fellow ju-

nior Paul Millard would split time in West Virginia’s season opener to determine the starter heading into Week 2 against Oklahoma. When Millard found an early rhythm, Trickett was forced to stay on the sideline and wait. But Trickett would wait quietly and patiently in the wings for his opportunity. “It was tough,” Trickett said. “The media perception and the fan perception was

that I was going to immediately come in and (start). It was tough dealing with it, but we’re all good friends, all the quarterbacks. “But when you’re the starter, and you know you’ve got everyone behind you and they’re confident in you, that’s so big for me.” The confident Trickett finished the day with 309 passing yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, and he even overcame a shoul-

der injury that sent him to the locker room for an evaluation. “It’s part of the game, getting injured and playing through it,” Trickett said. “We harp on ‘TEAM,’ and ‘T’ is for toughness. That’s mental and physical toughness, and it’s important.” Holgorsen also acknowledged Trickett’s toughness and his overall performance in his first start as a Mountaineer.

“He’s what we thought he was. He’s tough, he’s smart, and he doesn’t get rattled. He just gets out there and plays ball,” Holgorsen said. According to Holgorsen in his Monday Big 12 teleconference, Trickett’s shoulder is still banged up, and he wouldn’t name him the starter for this weekend’s game against Baylor for certain as of Monday afternoon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Following Maryland blowout, WVU offense improves Saturday by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

All hope was lost in Morgantown Saturday, Sept. 21. West Virginia suffered a 37-0 loss to Maryland, a game in which the offense picked up just two first downs. Nobody gave West Virginia a chance Saturday. The betting line had Oklahoma State at -18, and ESPN commentators said the Cowboys would win in a “50-point blowout” prior to kickoff. Perhaps that was warranted. The Mountaineer football team had come off their worst loss since 1975 after compiling just 175 yards of offense. But Saturday, that same West Virginia team, that was in a world of trouble just a week ago, took down the program that many considered the favorite to win the Big 12 Conference title. In his first career start as a Mountaineer, redshirt junior Clint Trickett defeated No. 11 Oklahoma State in front of more than 57,000 fans. Trickett, who previously had only taken six snaps this season, replaced redshirt freshman Ford Childress. Childress, who suffered a chest injury last week, threw for just 62 yards in the loss against

Maryland. “I had an idea (I would start),” Trickett said. “I (live) with Ford and he said (the injury) was bothering him. It was my turn. Coach told me to just take it and run with it.” Trickett threw for 309 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions on 24-of50 passing. His 50 pass attempts were the second most by a Big 12 quarterback this season. Trickett said the slow progress to play was tough. “The fan perception was that I would start right away. I had chances to do it, but I didn’t take over it in camp ... Once I got into the game, I did a good enough job to win the game. But it was tough dealing with it,” he said. Trickett, who previously played at Florida State, was the primary backup quarterback for the previous two seasons. “Clint did a great job of keeping the play alive, and we had a sense that he could do that,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Watching film of him at Florida State you could see that’s what he was doing.” Trickett left the game with a shoulder injury, but came back just a few series later. He had a noticeably large ice pack on that shoul-

der following the victory. “(Injuries) are a part of the game,” he said. “We harp on T.E.A.M., and the ‘T’ stands for toughness.” Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson, who has been frustrated with his team’s lack of offensive production, said he knew Trickett’s time would eventually come. “It’s a process,” he said. “He’s learning a new system; he’s learning to play with new coaches. Our comfort level wasn’t (there) yet, but it’s getting better. The only way for it to get better is to keep playing ball.” As bad as the Mountaineers have looked at times, this season is still far from over. The win against Oklahoma State improves West Virginia’s Big 12 record to 1-1 and 3-2 overall. “Our guys knew, because of what we see in practice, how close we really were,” Dawson said. “We gave our fans nothing to cheer about last week. And that’s why the Mountaineer fans are the best in the nation, because today can attest to that. We gave them no reason to root last week, so today’s (attendance) was awesome to see.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers eye another conference regular season title by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Another Big 12 Conference regular season championship is within reach for the West Virginia women’s soccer team this season. The Mountaineers are currently one of the best teams in the Big 12 after their impressive victories over the weekend. Now, the chance of a repeat performance for the Mountaineers is a real possibility. The tough nonconference schedule for WVU is what head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown believes is the key to their success. “I’ve always believed scheduling tough nonconference opponents will only help us,” she said. “We feel that we’ve experienced a lot collectively and individually during our nonconference play, and hopefully we’ve learned from it and it will only help us in conference

play.” The Mountaineers already faced their toughest competition in the Big 12 this season in Baylor. WVU defeated the Bears 4-2 over the weekend. WVU only has one more weekend of back-to-back games this season on the road. Those games will take place later this month when the Mountaineers travel to Oklahoma and Texas Tech Oct. 25-27. The Mountaine ers know that every game is different, but the confidence among the players proves that they believe they can achieve another conference title. After losing three players to season-ending knee injuries, and one of their best midfielders still sidelined after an injury to her knee in 2011, the Mountaineers had to learn how to play as a team and take it day by day. New faces are popping up on the stat sheet for Izzo-Brown, and she couldn’t be more impressed.

“We are a resilient team, and at any point, opposing teams are going to have to deal with our scoring balance. I credit the girls for the diversity of our scoring. We can be dangerous from anywhere,” IzzoBrown said. A diverse offensive attack takes a lot of pressure off of Kate Schwindel and Frances Silva, who both lead the scoring for the Mountaineers. Schwindel owns eight goals and Silva has six goals in the 2013 season. Not only are the Mountaineers solidifying the offensive attack, but they are improving in the midfield and the backline, as well. After losing three players in the midfield this season, several young Mountaineers had to step up and fill positions that are difficult to replace. Cari Price stepped up as a starter in the midfield after the injury to senior midfielder Kara Blosser took her out for the rest of the season. Price has registered four goals and two

assists this season. After a rocky start the Mountaineers’ defense has stepped up in a big way for the team. “The leadership that Jess Crowder gave us in the back has been impressive. After the adversity we were dealing with, the defense has done (a) great job with the pressure,” Izzo-Brown said. This team is also doing better with finishing games and not giving up the leads. During the weekend the Mountaineers went up 2-0 over No. 9 Baylor. The Bears made a comeback in the end, but the Mountaineers kept attacking and didn’t play soft. “We anticipated them making a comeback. They are the No. 9 team in the country for a reason. We knew we had to get a couple more to take the pressure off us and we did. I’m impressed with our team holding on and never giving up,” Izzo-Brown said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia proves point with dominating weekend by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

It took a bus trip to Pittsburgh, a plane to Oklahoma, a bus to Texas, a plane back to Pittsburgh and a bus ride back to Morgantown for the West Virginia women’s soccer team to prove a point. They are still the creme of the crop inside the Big 12 Conference. The Mountaine ers opened conference play this past weekend against arguably the two toughest opponents in the league in Oklahoma State and No. 9 Baylor. West Virginia de-

feated the Cowgirls 2-1 before taking down the Lady Bears 4-3 in Waco, Texas. The loss was Baylor’s first regulation defeat since August 2012. West Virginia now returns home with a 2-0 conference mark and a 8-2-2 record overall. The team is riding a four-match winning streak and will open a four-match homestand beginning this weekend. The Mountaineers have not only embraced their long traveling schedule, but they’ve put a positive spin to it. “The traveling is where you find all of your memories,” said defender Leah

Emaus. “We, as a team, enjoy being all together, and road trips just make it even more fun.” The Big 12 selected West Virginia as the preseason champion before the season began. The defending regular season champions received seven of the nine first-place votes, while Texas Tech took the other two. The Mountaineers won’t meet up with the Red Raiders until the final match of the season in late October – a game that could decide the 2013 championship. The team’s goals have been clear since camp began. Despite a rash of in-

Members of the West Virginia women’s soccer team run onto the field in a home match against Kentucky earlier this season.

juries and a very difficult preseason slate, West Virginia’s eyes have remained clear on their aspirations inside the league. “Our goal is to go backto-back this year,” Emaus said. “We want to win another Big 12 Championship, and in order to do that, you have to win all the games. “There’s a big target on our backs, definitely, and we’re reminded of it every day.” In just their second year in the conference, West Virginia has already earned the respect of its competitors. After the two big victories on the

road, the Mountaineers will look to shoot up the rankings in the women’s soccer RPI. Coming into the week, WVU sat No. 83 in the country. This ranking will surely rise following a weekend filled with two victories over schools ranked in the top 35. “(The wins) are a big deal, not only for the conference, but (for) our RPI going forward,” said forward Frances Silva. “We came in and played a couple of very good teams and were able to get it done on their home field. “I think it’s a very big deal for us to keep going through the Big 12 and

continue our nice little streak.” WVU has yet to lose a regular season conference match since joining the Big 12 last year. The Mountaineers will return to their home pitch at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this Friday night when the team hosts Texas. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Indians playoff-bound for first time since 2007

Cleveland Indians’ first baseman Nick Swisher celebrates with teammates. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The final out had just been recorded and the Cleveland Indians swarmed together on the infield in jubilation to kick off the celebration of a stunning September surge into the postseason. Terry Francona and the Indians’ coaching staff stepped out of the dugout, gathered on the grass behind the third base line, stood there and watched. Francona has been a part of a lot of celebrations in his baseball career, and this is always his favorite part. “It’s like the culmination of everything that you’ve gone through, all the ups and downs, and you see guys from different countries, different upbringings and they’re jumping on the pile, it’s just pure joy,” the first-year Indians manager said after a 5-1 victory over Minnesota clinched the

top wild card spot. “And it makes you feel good.” Once all but eliminated after a late-August swoon, the Indians finished the regular season on a 10game winning streak to earn their first postseason berth since 2007. And they go into the wild card game on Wednesday night at Progressive Field brimming with confidence. The Indians went 21-6 in September – the best record in the majors – and are the first team to win its last 10 games since the 1971 Baltimore Orioles won their final 11. The pitching staff has been one of the best in the big leagues since the All-Star break and the offense has provided just the right amount of magic at the most opportune times to capitalize on a soft schedule. Sure, the Tribe racked up

those last 10 wins against the three worst teams in the AL – the Astros, White Sox and Twins. But they weren’t about to apologize. It’s been too long since there’s been a winner in Cleveland, and they blew off some steam in the Target Field clubhouse. Champagne was spraying, goggles were donned and Nick Swisher turned the plastic-draped floor into a beer-filled slip and slide. “It’s time to party!” hollered Swisher, whose tworun homer in the first inning got the Indians rolling. And while Francona and the coaching staff sat back and let the players have their moment on the field, they happily got right into the middle of the celebration backstage. The manager, who saw a celebrated run in Boston end on a sour note in 2011, doused players and GM Chris Antonetti

with bubbly and gave out hugs to anyone who came within arm’s length. “It’s a testament to these guys and the way they’ve played,” Antonetti said. “To go out and win 10 in a row, we needed every one of them. It’ll be fun to come back to Cleveland and play some games.” The Indians entered the season finale clinging to a one-game lead over Tampa Bay and Texas. If the Indians had lost Sunday and the Rays and Rangers won, two days of tiebreaker games would have been needed to determine the wild cards. It turns out the Indians really did need to win, because the Rangers and Rays were victorious as well and will play a tiebreaker on Monday. The winner will head to Cleveland for the wild card game on Wednesday night.

WVU CHEERLEADING TRYOUT!

“Whoever we play, both teams are going to go at it because if you lose you go home,” Francona said. “It’ll be exciting to be a part of that. We’re honored to be a part of that.” It’s been a remarkable turnaround for these Indians. Cleveland lost at least 93 games in three of the previous four seasons. But the Indians increased their wins total by 24 games this year to catapult back into the playoffs. Now maybe the hometown fans will start taking notice. Attendance at Progressive Field was the second-lowest in the AL, behind only perennially empty Tropicana Field in Tampa. But word was that the Indians had already sold more than 35,000 tickets for the wild card game as of early Sunday, making a sellout increasingly

possible. “The way we’ve been playing as of late, talk about starting pitching, talk about clutch hitting from our guys,” a goggled Swisher hollered amid the celebration. “I’m telling you, we’re bringing that wild card game back to the 216 and that place is going to be packed out and rockin’, baby!”

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nelson Cruz has completed his 50-game drug suspension and is back in the lineup for the Texas Rangers. The All-Star slugger was reinstated from the restricted list by the Rangers on Monday. He was in the lineup batting sixth as the designated hitter for their AL tiebreaker game against Tampa Bay. It was the first major league game for Cruz since Aug. 4, the day before his suspension that followed Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic, which was accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Cruz was among 14 players disciplined by MLB this year in the Biogenesis case. Only Alex Rodriguez appealed his suspension. Texas designated outfielder Joey Butler for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. The Rangers won their last seven scheduled games of the regular season, and needed every one of those victories to force the first wild-card tiebreaker in the majors since 2007.

A 163rd regular-season game provided a chance for the return of Cruz. Before flying to Texas on Saturday night, he had been playing games against mostly minor leaguers and prospects in the Arizona Instructional League. “I’ve been working every day and I just wanted to make sure I’m ready for this moment,” Cruz said Sunday, after the team announced he would be activated for the tiebreaker game. “I’m happy to be back, be with my teammates and play the game that I love.” Cruz finished 9 for 27 with five doubles, a homer and nine RBIs in eight games in Arizona. General manager Jon Daniels said Cruz kept himself ready to play “as good as you can” in that situation. Daniels said the at-bats got batter during that time and that Cruz was swinging the bat well. “All along, we knew we’re probably a better club with him available,” Daniels said. The Rangers were 2921 without Cruz, who hit .269 with 27 homers and 76 RBIs in 108 games before his suspension.
