With the kickoff for college football season less than one week away, Mountaineer Nation is preparing to show the world how incredible and widespread its fan base is.

Mountaineer fans are famous for their enthusiasm and charisma. For some, this means showing their pride by dressing in head-to -toe gold and blue, having outlandish watch parties for games or traveling from all around the world to Morgantown for game day.

For the second year in a row, West Virginia University is encouraging its die-hard fans to show their school spirit by participating in Mountaineer Nation Day. This year’s festivities will take place Sept. 7 when the WVU football team travels to Norman, Okla. to take on the Sooners during prime time on FOX. Additionally, those who believe they are the ultimate Mountaineer fan can register for the Ultimate Mountaineer Fan competition on Facebook by submitting an essay, up to five photos and a one-minute video, if they choose.

Cook-off to highlight popular West Virginia tradition

By Summer Ratcliff City Editor

The pepperoni roll, invented in Fairmont, W.Va., and recently named the “Official State Food of West Virginia,” has long been considered a staple in most areas of the state.

The delicious snack, originally created to serve as a quick and easy lunch for coal miners, is now being nationally recognized as a highly sought after treat.

Wesley United Methodist Church, located in downtown Morgantown, will host The Great Pepperoni Roll Cook-Off Sunday. The cook-off was planned as a unique way to raise funds for an original musical production called “Golden Horseshoe.”

R.J. Nestor, co-writer of the musical, said the idea for a pepperoni roll cook-off seemed to be the perfect fit for a fundraiser.

“When we began to brainstorm, we thought

what could we do that would encompass the state of West Virginia; after a little time we realized that of course we should do a pepperoni roll cook-off,” he said.

Nestor said the original musical serves as a way to celebrate W.Va.’s 150th birthday.

“It tells the story of a father who is working to help his son study for the Golden Horseshoe test,” Nestor said. “The entire event is really rooted in the history of our state.”

Six area bakeries, including Terra Cafe, The Cupcakerie, Anthony’s Pizza and Rising Creek Bakery, are scheduled to enter their recipes into the competition.

Entries will be judged based on two categories: traditional and gourmet.

Judges will select a winner in both categories as well as an overall winner. Additionally, a people’s choice award will be selected by event guests.

Miss West Virginia

2012,as Kaitlin Gates, will serve a guest judge for the competition.

Gates said she is excited to see what unique ideas local bakeries and citizens will incorporate into their pepperoni rolls.

“The pepperoni roll has been a tradition here in the Mountain State for quite some time and was recently named the Official Food of West Virginia,” Gates said.

“I’m so excited to see what local citizens come up with to put their own personal spin on a statewide favorite. This delicacy is something that makes us unique and I’m sure I’ll love everything I try on Sunday.”

The pepperoni cook-off will be held Sunday from 2:30-6:30 p.m. at Wesley United Methodist Church, located at 503 N. High Street. Judging will be held at 5:30 p.m. Admission to the event is $5 and includes the taste testing as well as a free raffle ticket. summer.ratcliff@mail.wvu.edu

The lottery is based on a system of “loyalty points.” These points are based on the number of Mountaineer athletic events students have attended. Therefore, people who have attended more events have more points entered into the lottery under their request.

After the request period is over, the “claim period” begins. Everyone who requested a ticket receives an email stating whether or not they received a ticket for the game. Students who have received a ticket are given two days to log onto the website and claim their tickets.

Failure to claim a ticket results in a loss of the ticket.

Everyone who claims their ticket will be permitted to print their ticket off from the website.

WVU continues efforts in Oklahoma

The WVU baseball team spent time shopping for supplies for tornado victims this spring.

When a deadly tornado struck Moore, Okla. May 20, the Mountaineer baseball team was staying just outside of the city in anticipation for the Big 12 Conference tournament.

Upon seeing the devastation, the team jumped at the opportunity to assist the tornado victims.

Nearly three months after the disaster, West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck made a trip to the area.

WVUp All Night to feature TRON laser tag by ashley tennant staff writer

West Virginia University’s first WVUp All Night kicks off tonight with TRON laser tag, which will be held in the Mountainlair in a glow-inthe-dark dome.

Sonja Wilson, WVU senior programming administrator, said WVU has been hosting Up All Night since 1997, and TRON laser tag seems to be the most pop-

ular event from a student’s perspective.

“I have been working with WVUp All Night for the last five years, and I think with all the feedback we have from students, this is the most popular event,” Wilson said. “It is an event that really showcases what we’re doing because it’s so large.”

She said the dome is 60 feet in diameter, which fills the entire food court in the

Mountainlair from side to side, even going up past the flags.

“It’s just the top-of-themill entertainment package for students,” she said.

With TRON laser tag, players go inside a big yellow glow-in-the-dark dome theatre and play laser tag with 10 players at a time.

Players strategically move around the different obstacles, and whenever the time is up, another 10 players go

into the dome.

Wilson said there is special lighting in the dome, as well as music, which all contributes to an entertaining and unique laser tag experience.

“I guess it’s really almost like Star Wars because it has that kind of atmosphere,” Wilson said. “You can even use it outside; it’s just a really, really cool event to start off the school year.”

Wilson said the laser tag

is like the ultimate video game, so it’s a way for Up All Night to connect with students.

“Our mission of WVUp All Night is to provide an alternative for the students, whether it be an alternative from looking at the walls in their dorm room or being with their roommate,” she said. “It’s just coming down to the Mountainlair and building a sense of community with everyone, and this

is something you can really do as a group.”

TRON laser tag will be held in the Mountainlair tonight from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. and Saturday from 9 p.m.-1 a.m.

Up All Night events are free to students with a valid student ID. For more information about WVUp All Night, visit mountainlair.wvu.edu/ wvupallnight. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Career Services aims to help students prepare for life after graduation by alexis randolph correspondent

When planning for a future career, it is always helpful to have as many resources available as possible.

The Career Services Center, conveniently located above the West Virginia University bookstore, serves as one of these resources for students.

The Center provides students extensive options to help them build resumes and plan for successful futures.

Joy Wang, a sophomore and Student Government Association Board of Governors member for career services, hopes to increase student awareness for the program.

“Many students don’t even know where the Center is,” Wang said.

“Right now we are just trying to expand and create more awareness,” she said.

“We want to get kids in as soon as possible, hopefully their freshman year.”

Career Services helps students from the beginning of their college years

Technical glitch halts Nasdaq trading for 3 hours NEW YORK (AP) — A mysterious glitch halted trading on the Nasdaq for three hours Thursday in the latest major electronic breakdown on Wall Street, embarrassing the stock exchange that hosts the biggest names in technology, including Apple, Microsoft and Google.

The problem sent brokers racing to figure out what went wrong and raised new questions about the pitfalls of the electronic trading systems that have come to dominate the nation’s stock markets.

Nasdaq said only that the problem lay in its system for disseminating prices and that it planned to investigate.

The outage disrupted what had otherwise been a quiet summer day on Wall Street. It was another in a series of technical problems to disrupt financial markets in recent years, though less alarming than the “flash crash” plunge of May 2010.

“The market has gotten quite complex and needlessly so,” said Sal Arnuk, co-founder of the brokerage Themis Trading.

The Nasdaq, an exchange dominated by some of the largest, most prosperous technology companies, sent out an alert shortly after noon that said trading would stop. The Nasdaq composite index spent much of the afternoon stuck at 3,631.17.

Trading resumed at 3:25 p.m. Thirty-five minutes later, the day ended with the index up 38 points, or 1 percent, at 3,638.71.

Investors were not at risk of losing any money from this type of glitch, said

Marty Leclerc at Barrack Yard, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors.

“Clearly it’s an annoyance, but it doesn’t in any way affect the value of your underlying assets,” Leclerc said. “Warren Buffet used to say that if you own a stock, you ought to be comfortable with it even if the market were to close for a year.”

During the outage, the Nasdaq said it would not cancel any orders stuck in limbo, but that customers were free to cancel them.

The stock of the exchange’s parent company, Nasdaq OMX, took a hit Thursday, falling $1.08, or 3.4 percent, to close at $30.46 in heavy trading.

Phil Stern, a former Securities and Exchange Commission attorney for 10 years, said Nasdaq could face significant financial penalties and other sanctions.

“It’s pretty significant for an exchange to be shut down this long,” Stern said.

“The disruption to the marketplace is huge.”

The White House, the Treasury Department and other government agencies monitored the disruption.

Brad McMillan, chief investment officer of the independent brokerage Commonwealth Financial, said competition between rival exchanges for customers is partly to blame for recent trading problems. The exchanges try to bring in more business with the promise of faster trading, which makes them more reliant on new technology.

“The more trading is tied to technology, the more computer crashes matter,” McMillan said.

to graduation, job searches and beyond.

The Center offers a number of services to students, including choosing a major that is right for them, helping them find internships and holding mock interviews.

In fact, the Center invites a panel of employers to have Q&A sessions with students. Wang said the attendance went from 50 students to almost 100 students in 2012.

“We are focused on getting as many people into the Center as possible,”

FAN

Continued from page 1 T h i rd p l a c e w i n ner of last year’s competition, Dillon Tucker, said being an ultimate Mountaineer fan is a large part of his life.

When asked what he thought was required to be the ultimate Mountaineer fan, Tucker said.

“Attend not only football and basketball games, but all sporting events; be loud, be proud; and always show your respect to the other team’s fans.”

Alan Kitner, director of Olympic Sports for Mountaineer Maniacs, spent more than 150 hours camped outside the Coliseum his freshman year at WVU. He was in the front row at every basketball game that season.

“Being an ultimate Mountaineer fan means being at every WVU sporting event and doing whatever it takes to cheer them to victory,” Kitner said. “It’s not just a game to me, it’s a way of life.”

Fans have until Sunday to register before the top eight finalists will be chosen. Once the finalists are chosen, voting will open for Mountaineer fans from around the world to

Wang said.

The Center also holds different events throughout the year to help students plan more thoroughly for the future. These events include career fairs and a chocolate-covered careers event that is held on the Friday of Fall Family Weekend.

Wang said the Center hosts an annual mock-trial, which teaches proper dress and etiquette for the professional world.

choose who they think is the ultimate fan.

Allison Heller, who once camped overnight outside the Coliseum during a snow storm, said she thinks the ultimate Mountaineer fan must possess a large amount of pride and always remember the important WVU traditions.

“Being a Mountaineer fan is all about pride.

Going to a school with such deep-rooted pride is the best,” Heller said.

“Cheering on our school to victory is the best way to keep that pride alive.

“I love being an extreme Mountaineer fan.

It’s so much fun, and I’ve bonded with some of my best friends over it,” she said.

The winner of the 2013 Ultimate Mountaineer Fan competition will receive two Hail WV passes, two suite tickets in the alumni box and a parking pass for the Iowa State football game Nov. 30, a 2013 Official WVU Fan Shirt and other officially licensed WVU prizes.

“Because I went at the end of the year, there was a little wait, but then I had a one-on-one meeting with a lady in the office to discuss what I could do with my major,” Leslie said.

The Center told Leslie about chemistry tutoring she could get involved with as well as other job opportunities in the downtown area.

“I think it’s a really good, reliable resource for students.” Leslie said.

“What we are trying to do is figure out if this is the right area to use this.”

One option for the donation’s use is toward a damaged complex where the Moore Youth Baseball Association plays.

The Moore, Okla., facility is home to eight baseball fields and four softball fields.

An alternate route could be donating money to a local YMCA where many kids could participate in leagues and have fun as the community is being rebuilt.

The state of West Virginia is no stranger to deadly disasters; multiple mining accidents and floods have affected the state in the past. Kendrick, a native of Bluefield, W.Va., saw the efforts of the Mountaineer baseball team and decided to do something to help.

“Ken (Kendrick) has followed the program,” Luck said to The Oklahoman following his visit. “He was touched by what our baseball team did and glad to see the kids get out there and represent the state and university.”

When Luck visited Aug. 14, he wanted to make sure he and the WVU community could make an impact on a city and state in need.

The Center’s offices are open to walk-ins from 8:15 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. and at other times by appointment.

To contact the Career Services Center, students can call 304-293-2221 or email careerservices@mail. wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

“(We wanted to) Make sure if fields have been damaged, dugouts, lights, fences, backstops, whatever, that we can help out,” Luck said. “(We) just want to use the money to benefit the kids to make sure no kid can’t play baseball because of the storms or funds.”

Multiple parks were hit hard by the tornado, and limited opportunities for baseball and for revenue from tournaments came as a result. The donation could definitely help the Moore community in many ways.

“Our baseball team did a marvelous job of wanting to help,” Luck said.

“And that’s a natural instinct almost I think anybody would have, particularly West Virginia folks, because we live in kind of a hardscrabble state … not the wealthiest state. We’re in the heart of Appalachia.

“We like to think we have good kids, just like the Sooners have good kids and the Cowboys have good kids, we like to think that all of our young people, particularly college students, are bright enough to think, hey, if I can help, I want to do that.

It’s a little bit more important than just a baseball game.”

In some regard, West Virginia and Oklahoma are two states with a lot in common. It just took a community in need to realize that. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Beau Biden returns to Delaware with father DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden returned home Thursday with his father, Vice President Joe Biden, and other family members after undergoing a medical procedure at a Houston cancer center.

A small motorcade of SUVs with dark tinted windows arrived at Joe Biden’s house shortly before 4 p.m.

Thursday afternoon after Air Force Two touched down at the New Castle County airport following a flight from Texas.

“On our way home! Can’t wait to get back. Thank you, Houston,” the younger

Biden said earlier Thursday in a Twitter post that included a photo of him with his wife and parents.

Beau Biden, 44, was admitted earlier this week to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center after becoming weak and disoriented during a vacation in Indiana last week.

His hospitalization came two weeks after emergency dispatchers received a call from the vice president’s Delaware home, where Beau Biden is staying, regarding a report of a possible stroke.

Beau Biden suffered a minor stroke in 2010.

In a statement released

Wednesday by the White House, the vice president and his wife, Jill, said their son was returning to Delaware after undergoing “a successful procedure,” but they did not provide any details.

“He will follow up with his local physicians in the coming weeks,” the statement read.

The White House declined to answer any questions about what procedure was performed, including whether it was diagnostic or therapeutic in nature.

Biden was initially admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago last week. He traveled

the next day to the Philadelphia hospital where he had been treated after his stroke in 2010 to consult with his doctor. He spent last weekend at home in Wilmington before going to Houston.

Jason Miller, a spokesman for the Delaware Department of Justice, said Beau Biden spoke Thursday morning with his chief deputy, as he had Wednesday afternoon.

Miller refused to provide any information about Biden’s health and said he did not know when the attorney general would return to work.

“He’ll continue to be in

regular touch with the office, as he has been this week,” Miller said.

On Wednesday, authorities in Delaware confirmed that an emergency call was received from the vice president’s house two weeks ago.

A county dispatch center log indicates that on Aug. 1, someone at the vice president’s home was reported to be possibly having a stroke and apparently not alert. Beau Biden has been staying at his father’s Greenville home while his own house is renovated.

Rickie Clark, a staff supervisor with the Cranston Heights Fire Co., confirmed

that county dispatchers received a call for help from Joe Biden’s home, but he refused to provide further details.

The dispatch log on the fire department’s website, first reported by The News Journal of Wilmington, shows two references to the vice president’s home on Aug. 1, one at 9:25 p.m. and another about a minute and a half later. Both cite “CvaNot Alert,” indicating that a person was in distress and apparently not alert or responsive to his or her surroundings. Clark said “Cva” is shorthand for cerebrovascular accident, or stroke.

With deal in place, will San Diego mayor leave?

AP

Greg Timms, left, signs a petition to recall San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, alongside Tana Piontek, right, at a stand set up in the parking lot of a shopping center.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A deal aimed at resolving the sexual harassment scandal involving Mayor Bob Filner hit a snag Thursday when the lawyer for the former Filner aide who sued her ex-boss said the lawsuit isn’t part of the agreement, a potential sticking point to approval by the City Council.

Details of the agreement between city officials and Filner’s lawyers haven’t been disclosed, but going into the talks it was clear Filner needed to agree to quit for any deal to be struck.

A person with knowledge of the settlement talks said the main sticking points involved granting Filner indemnity in the sexual harassment lawsuit by his former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, and paying his legal fees. The person was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

On the eve of Friday’s scheduled closed-door vote by the City Council, McCormack’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, said she didn’t agree to the deal and the lawsuit will continue.

“If the deal requires that the City Council pay him $1, then I, for one, think that they should vote against it,” she said. “There should be no payoff for Mayor Filner.

It would be a slap in the face to the mayor’s many victims to see him get anything from the city of San Diego. His parting gift should be ‘good riddance’ instead of a handout.”

At least 17 women have claimed Filner sexually harassed them, though only one lawsuit has been filed.

All nine members of the City Council along with a laundry list of fellow Democrats including U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer and U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have called on Filner to quit.

San Diego State University political science professor Brian Adams said the City Council is in a no-win situation. The public wants Filner gone but doesn’t want to see him get taxpayer money to pay his bills.

If councilors don’t vote for the deal, then Filner could stay in office and the city’s political paralysis will continue as a recall effort moves ahead.

“It’s not clear which one of those is going to be a stronger pull for City Council members, and what they are actually willing to give up in negotiating with Bob Filner,” Adams said. “They know any use of public money to defend Bob Filner against these lawsuits is incredibly toxic, and the public will be outraged.”

San Diego Democratic consultant Chris Crotty agreed. But he said if voters were told to decide between refusing his legal fees and risk having him remain in office or pay and guarantee he leaves: “I bet most would choose to hold their nose, say OK and pay the money to get him out.”

Besides, he added, under

California law the city must defend Filner even if the City Council ends up saying it won’t.

“The law when it comes to sexual harassment holds the employer still liable for the actions of an employee,” Crotty said. So upon a judgment against Filner, the city would be on the hook regardless of any action the City Council takes.

For his part, Filner has no reason to resign unless he secures an agreement that will shed his financial exposure, Adams said.

The twice-divorced, former congressman has acknowledged disrespecting and intimidating women but has denied any sexual harassment.

Transportation an on-going issue

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The PRT cars wait at the Towers station.

Whether it’s for a class or just to grab some McDonald’s, nearly every West Virginia University student has had to ride the bus or take the PRT to get from one campus to another.

Generally, with a school as big as WVU and with as many campuses as we have, one would think that the University transportation system would be run efficiently enough that students wouldn’t have to worry about

missing their class due to faulty PRT systems or unreliable buses.

It’s no secret that the PRT system is less than perfect, even though it does supposedly boast a 98.5 percent reliability rate since its introduction at WVU in 1970. But the numerous complaints from students concerning the multiple times per year the system breaks down don’t seem to be reflecting this statistic.

Furthermore, while the

buses are always an option to get from point A to point B, often they are so full (especially when the PRT is down) that students scattered at bus stops around campus are passed up because there is simply not enough space.

Although buses are expected to arrive at any given station in approximately 15 to 20 minute intervals, waiting 30 minutes for a bus after one that has reached maximum capacity is ridiculous

for students with a tight time schedule.

One of the many downsides of college is how easy it is to simply skip a class, especially if attendance policies are lax or have no effect on grades. Usually students don’t go to class because they don’t feel like it or accidentally sleep in, but here at WVU the extra issue of transportation keeps students away from their classes, as well.

And with the rising tuition rates, the cost of a seat in class has increased. This means that a student literally loses money by not attending their designated class. In that respect, transportation systems should be one of the last things standing between a student and his or her class.

Granted, we do have thousands of students, both undergraduates and graduates, utilizing our transportation systems; often there are sim-

ply not enough buses or too much wear and tear on a PRT system that was better suited to the population of WVU students in the 1970’s.

With that in mind, we can only hope that the increase in tuition will also go toward the funding of a better PRT system and more buses to take students where they need to be, when they need to be there. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Op-Ed Commentary

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Macklemore performs at FallFest on Monday with songs promoting equality and acceptance.

Influence of music should not be undermined Derrik Whitlow columnist

Macklemore’s message is much bigger than the bright lights and fame that come with being an up-and-coming rap artist.

With so much of today’s music glorifying violence, sexism and drugs, it’s amazing to hear an artist with an uplifting message that promotes tolerance.

Not only are his lyrics upbeat but his strong stance on marriage equality is one that’s severely lacking in the music world today. This is

even more impressive considering he is becoming a household name in a genre that is often controversial and likely to promote violence and crime.

We can only change as a society when we embrace individuals who promote younger generations should be hearing. The influence today’s artists wield is nothing short of insurmountable.

While we must be realistic about how much the music we listen to affects the culture we live in, the one thing we cannot deny is that music is one of the most present influences on

America’s youth. The truth is that change always begins with a small step, and that step has a domino effect.

For instance, if more and more artists in the mainstream began singing or rapping lyrics directing their fan bases toward treating people with dignity as opposed to shooting up a rival gang, there’s no telling the change it would bring.

Eventually that change could carry over to what’s being promoted on television screens across the globe.

The stark reality is that we live in an age where content

can and will become viral with just one click. The fact that there is at least one artist going viral who ardently supports equality brings real hope that a change in culture across the spectrum is possible.

It only takes one voice to start a movement, and sadly enough, that’s not always for the better. When you have music artists openly threatening other media personalities – which was the case with rap artist Chief Keef threatening Katy Perry and others when they spoke out against his lyrics – it makes you wonder where we as a society

stand today.

Will voices like Macklemore’s remain one of the few who actually stand for the right things? Certainly Macklemore is not the only artist out there who promotes tolerance and acceptance, but make no mistake, those like him are a rare breed.

The common argument is that many rap artists only tell the stories of the environment they come from.

On some level that certainly may be true, but there is no excuse for the glorification of gang culture, violence against women and the plethora of other things

that are so often promoted.

A message of hope and change could cause America’s youth to strive for something bigger than themselves and to have to acccept the differences we all have. While that message doesn’t have to come directly from musicians, “it’s a damn good place to start.”

When lyrics are more along the lines of, “No freedom until we’re equal; damn right I support it,” then perhaps more of our youth will step away from the dangerous roads they are treading. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will make your imprint by expressing your unique vision and ability to let go of the past. You express a quality of kindness that attracts many people. At the same time, others might become more demanding, which forces you to look at yourself and your expectations. If you are single, you will have many choices. Someone you might meet could be quite picky. Do not move quickly here. If you are attached, romance will flourish, especially when you go away for a few days together.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH You have reason to feel energized once again. What a wonderful way to end the week and start

your weekend! You seem to cruise through problem after problem. A boss or higher-up will give you nothing but high praise. Tonight: You have plenty of reason to celebrate.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Understand that the less said, the better. This approach works very well, especially when you don’t know what to say next. Still, your good humor marks much of what is going on. Curb a tendency to go to extremes with life’s indulgences. Tonight: Visit with a friend or loved one.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Tension might build around a domestic matter. Worry less about that issue, and enjoy your positive friends.

You’ll want to make a big difference, but perhaps right now is a period to relax and be more carefree. Tonight: The more people around you, the better. Enjoy yourself!

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You can’t always be the epitome of self-discipline. There seems to be a high level of tension surrounding a particular matter, but you’ll be able to handle the tension. You’ll come up with a solution with a little help from your friends! Tonight: Take your cue from someone else.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Assume that you don’t have all the information needed. Willingly ask more questions and accept others’ theories.

Use caution in the next few months when dealing with your funds. Avoid putting words into someone’s mouth.

Tonight: Consider escaping for the weekend.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You will feel empowered with the Sun in your sign. Work with individuals rather than groups. Others will clamor for your attention. Know that

you can handle this, while still achieving the results you desire. An offer is too good to say “no” to. Tonight: A close encounter.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Stay focused, as others might drop a lot of information on you. Consider your options, but be careful not to negate any suggestions. You might need some personal thinking time, which could be difficult to achieve with everyone seeking you out. Tonight: TGIF! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You might need to move in a new direction after some thought. Right now, assess a situation and decide what might be best for you, as well as for others. During the next few weeks, emphasize manifesting more of what you want. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully, yet the moment seems to take over.

Someone in your immediate environment is quite the jovial personality. You can’t help but lighten up and be more spontaneous, at least for now. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH You could be looking at a matter very differently because of a recent discussion with someone you respect whose perceptions are far more diverse than yours are. Be willing to extend this conversation over several days, if need be. Tonight: Homeward bound.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You can’t help but be in the middle of conversations and plan-making. For now, the world

seems to be revolving around you.

Do not hesitate to call a special person whom you have not spoken to in a while. The conversation will delight you. Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to continue taking the lead with financial matters. You could be more inspired about a proposition than others anticipate. Your vision is far more complete than that of those making the suggestion. Be as direct as possible.

Tonight: Treat a loved one to some drinks.

Alumna’s watercolor art exhibit conveys beauty

BY CAROL FOX A&E WRITER

Students who graduate from West Virginia University know they’re a part of a talented and diverse group of people, and they know they’ll always have a home and family as Mountaineers. We share and support each other’s successes long after we finish our degrees.

Verifying this sentiment is a current art exhibit, which has been on display at WVU’s Erickson Alumni Center since Aug. 1. The Alumni Center has chosen to present alumna Lotus M a c D o w e l l ’s magnificently earnest watercolors.

The exhibit, which is slated to be on display in the Nutting Gallery of the Alumni Center through Oct. 1, serves as a demonstration of MacDowell’s undeniable talent, as well as an homage to some of West Virginia’s most picturesque landscapes.

“Life as I See It: Viewing the world through an artist’s eye,” consists of 20 pieces of work that showcase MacDowell’s ability to capture the beauty and vitality of the state. She aims that same romantic-realist eye on landscapes, buildings and fruits from as far away as Florence, Italy and China.

MacDowell is a 1976 graduate of WVU’s College of Creative Arts and

said her strengths are getting people to see average things in new ways.

“I try to bring out things that most people overlook as they go through life, never realizing that these are part of what makes them feel good, happy or inspired,” she said. “It makes me feel good if I can open the eyes of a person to see his or her surroundings in a new way.”

Her use of a vivid color palette and natural or architectural subject matter makes for a realism in MacDowell’s watercolors that invites the viewer into whatever she captures. MacDowell’s pieces become a conversation or discussion between her apt eye and the viewer, and the result is serene beauty.

According to Tara Curtis, director of communications for the WVU Alumni Association, this exhibit of MacDowell’s work is important for WVU students to see because it shows them the fruits of hard work and dedication.

“Lotus MacDowell’s work is truly a testament not only to her talent, but to the University and its effect it has on students,” Curtis said. “Being able to see the success of our alumni can help motivate students to create their own success.”

The Erickson Alumni Center, named for the family of the late Charles O. Er-

Cory Dobson/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Lotus MacDowell’s paintings hang on display at an art exhibit in the Erickson Alumni Center. ickson, a prominent leader and businessman from Parkersburg, W.Va., is “the home for Mountaineers.”

Along with his son Charles F. Erickson, who passed away in July, Charles O. Erickson’s family helped establish alumni associations at 13 universities in West Virginia.

The Erickson Alumni Center’s Nutting Gallery has hosted several incredible art exhibits that in some way honor Morgantown, WVU or the state.

“We are always excited to lift up the wonderful success stories of our

alumni,” Curtis said. “Lotus is one of those success stories, and it’s wonderful for us to be able to showcase her work.”

In the past, they have presented work from watercolorist P. Buckley Moss, who is known for her wispy natural depictions of Concord University, The Greenbrier, Marshall University and WVU. Several times the Nutting Gallery has displayed photographs of landmarks and areas close to Mountaineers’ hearts, like those of Jefferson County’s George Washington-

era homes, as well as “Renaissance Morgantown,” an exhibit that showed the transformation of The Wharf District in Morgantown throughout the years.

“A little over a year ago we opened the Nutting Gallery here at The Erickson,” Curtis said. “Since that time we have had numerous artwork on display as well as national exhibits, including most recently the national Lincoln exhibit.

“It’s a perfect venue to showcase the great work of alumni and other nationally known artists and

exhibits.”

“Life as I See It: Viewing the world through an artist’s eye,” will be on display in the Nutting Gallery through Oct. 1. The gallery is open to the public from 8:15 a.m.-4:45 p.m.

A reception for the exhibit is to be held this evening at the Nutting Gallery from 5-7 p.m.

“We hope everyone will stop by the reception or visit the exhibit while it’s on display here at The Erickson Alumni Center,” Curtis said. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment has once again hosted a poster sale in the Vandalia Lounge of the Mountainlair. Each semester during the first week of classes, students can stop by the Mountainlair and buy their favorite poster to spruce up their dorm room or apartment.

“The poster sale has been a fixture of the Mountainlair for a long time,” said David Ryan, WVU Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist. “For the first week, students can get their favorite posters to decorate their room in one convenient location.”

The sale used to be held outside of the Mountainlair Box Office but has since moved to the Vandalia Lounge.

“Dorm rooms and new apartments can be a little dull. Most landlords don’t often want you poking holes in their walls, and you run the risk of losing security deposits if you do, so our posters can help brighten up a dull wall or give life to a new room with something you and your roommates can enjoy,” Ryan said. “It’s an easy and affordable way to give some life to your apart-

ment and put your own stamp on your dorm room.”

Ryan also admits WVU Arts & Entertainment truly enjoys putting on the sale.

“We love being able to put on the sale every year,” Ryan said. “I always end up spending more than I planned to, as well.”

Ryan said the sale offers posters of television shows, movies, musical acts, sports teams, inspirational quotes, scenic vistas and basically anything else a student could want.

“We’ve got something for everyone,” Ryan said.

Each year the poster sale proves to be a success.

“The poster sale is always a must for students, and we’ve been really pleased so many students have come up, looked through what we have to offer and gone home happy,” Ryan said.

Today is the last day of the sale for the semester.

The poster sale ends today at 5 p.m.

“If you’ve thought about getting something earlier on in the week, don’t miss out,” Ryan said. “The staff is really friendly and helpful and can give you everything you need to hang the posters and even have them framed should you want to keep them looking new for a long time.” lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Rapper 2 Chainz arrested OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Rapper 2 Chainz was one of 11 people arrested after refusing to get off a tour bus for almost nine hours following a traffic stop in Oklahoma City early Thursday morning, police said.

2 Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, and the others were arrested on a charge of obstructing a police officer and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on Thursday morning, Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said.

But by Thursday afternoon, all 11 had paid the $2,000 bail and were released from custody, Oklahoma County Sheriff ’s spokesman Mark Myers said.

The 35-year-old rapper performed with Lil Wayne and T.I. in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. Police stopped 2 Chainz’s tour bus around midnight near Interstate 40 because of an illegal taillight and noticed drug use, though Wardlow wouldn’t go into specifics.

The driver was arrested, “but as he got off the bus, the interior door shut and

locked and obviously our officers could not get in there,” she said.

The remaining people on the bus refused to leave the vehicle, so officers towed it to a nearby police training facility about four miles away, Wardlow said.

Investigators obtained a warrant and all 11 people came off the bus around 9 a.m., Wardlow said. They were then arrested on the charge and booked into jail.

Wardlow also said investigators found narcotics on the bus, but don’t know to whom those belonged. She said more charges could be filed later.

The Atlanta-based rapper, initially known as Tity Boi, was a member of the rap duo Playaz Circle before going solo. His 2012 debut album, “Based on a T.R.U. Story,” topped the Billboard charts.

His new album, “B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time,” is set to be released next month.

Earlier this year, 2 Chainz was acquitted of marijuana charges he faced after a traffic stop on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Fletcher’s Grove to liven 123 this evening

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

Tonight at 123 Pleasant Street one of Morgantown’s most beloved bands will grace the stage. The one and only Fletcher’s Grove will be performing with Jones for Revival.

The five-piece lineup of Fletcher’s Grove, originally out of Teays Valley, W.Va., create a palpable buzz any time they’re in town, and the hype is well-deserved.

The band purveys a sound that is all their own, drawing influences from all over the musical map including funk, rock, jazz and Appalachian folk music. They create a psychedelic yet accessible vibe that streams forth in the form of kicking groove drumming and smooth guitar work that is reminiscent of The Allman Brothers.

Like The Allman Brothers, these guys have a serious penchant for flat-out

jamming; they’re known for opening themselves up and taking the audience on a sonic journey that is both pleasurable to listen to and progressive enough to open up the mind to new musical ideas.

They also are not afraid to improvise. These are just a few reasons Fletcher’s Grove has been gaining popularity and tearing up the festival circuit in recent years to the betterment of everyone’s ears.

Opening for Fletcher’s Grove tonight will be Jones for Revival.

Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, the band is much in the same vein as Fletcher’s Grove, in that they also have a taste for improvisation and a progressive flair.

Jones for Revival’s palette of influences is possibly even more varied than Fletcher’s. Elements of funk, reggae, afro-pop, jazz, house and drum and bass all make tasteful appear-

ances in Jones for Revival’s catalog. The band names groups like Phish and the Grateful Dead as influences, which isn’t surprising considering their taste for the eclectic.

Despite the similarities in style, this band is no second fiddle; they’ve shared the stage with renowned national act Blue Oyster Cult.

The band boasts an energetic live performance and high-quality musicianship that is sure to enthrall the audience.

It’s a great night for newcomers to come out and get acquainted with 123’s rich music scene, hear some quality music, get your dance on and maybe enjoy a few drinks along the way.

The show is for those 18 years of age and older.

Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show gets underway at 10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $8. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Born of Osiris’ latest album disappoints Hunter Homistek A&E WRITER

Do not listen to Born of Osiris’ latest album, “Tomorrow We Die Alive.” It’s terrible.

A sonic tragedy crafted through laziness and repetition, the latest release from the Sumerian Records artists provides absolutely no redeeming attributes for those who crave quality metal.

“Tomorrow We Die Alive” suffers from an overuse of electronic overtones and predictable song structures, and combined, these two elements completely ruin the release. Listeners know what to expect at all times, as the group rambles alongside lackluster guitars and uninspired vocal work for the album’s duration.

Whereas Born of Osiris’ past work contained copious amounts of sensational guitar work, groovy, stac-

cato passages and resonating melodies, “Tomorrow We Die Alive” falls dreadfully short of this standard of excellence.

After the departure of guitarist Jason Richardson following their 2011 release, “The Discovery,” Born of Osiris audibly struggles to find cohesion and magnificence on their latest effort.

Listeners can randomly skip to any point in any song and have absolutely no idea which track it is – they are that similar. Songs kick off with mellow, electronic passages and promptly enter chugging verses that offer no change of pace or direction.

Following that, listeners are barraged with a fountain of searing lead guitar melodies that overlay boring, uninspired choruses.

From there, the band gets back to chugging around and fiddling on the synthesizer, finding nothing of value in the process.

Look, it is not my style to completely rip a band’s effort. I respect what these guys endure to create an album and to successfully promote it on the road.

I sincerely enjoy Born of Osiris’ catalog, and I know they are talented musicians; that is precisely why this release is so disappointing. They devolved into a pit of predictability, a black hole containing the remains of many disbanded outfits of the past (please watch your step as you pass by the bones of Wayne Static).

By relying too heavily on cliches, Born of Osiris flopped out an absolute dud with “Tomorrow We Die Alive.”

Save your money – don’t even look for a torrent – this one is not worth your time.

Camp Barefoot Pre-Party rocks 123

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Mike Dillon Band put on a show, barefoot, at 123 Pleasant Street Wednesday evening.

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

A different breed of musical reverie was unleashed upon a small but grateful audience Wednesday at 123 Pleasant Street.

New Orleans-based quartet The Mike Dillon Band and Morgantown locals Surgeon General’s Warning wrought a mighty jam session that was filled with more than a few surprises.

Surgeon General’s Warning was up first. Channeling

as much classic rock spirit as any band can muster, each member really stepped up and carved out their own defined space and style. Each player was aberrant and talented, but their playing meshed just right.

However, what really made them stand out from the crowd was the presence of their saxophone player, Travis Klein, who is a master of the winding and wailing lead. Brothers Jim and Tommy Bailey, on drums and bass respectively, laid down a

near constant layer of infectious groove underneath the melody.

Meanwhile, guitarist, vocalist and primary songwriter Chris Jones displayed his talents in the form of some of the most innovative and interesting guitar work you’ll hear at a local show, in terms of his use of different manually played effects. His complex compositions never seemed to plateau but rather kept constantly ascending in energy and bombastic flavor.

They played several origi-

nals but also some great covers including Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” and Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein.”

The band was actually a late addition to the bill and ended up playing for a lessthan-ideal turnout but overcame all that to throw down in the end.

“I think how you deal with that is a test of your character as a band, in a way. I love to have fun even when no one is at the show,” Bailey said.

“I think it’s really cool to just go balls out, go to planet ten, even if no one’s there.”

Jones said he agrees with Bailey.

“Playing for zero people should be no different than playing for 40,000,” Jones said.

Not to be outdone, The Mike Dillon Band went on second and let it all out on the stage. The only thing

equal to this band’s musicianship is their incredible onstage energy.

To limit The Mike Dillon Band to a particular genre would be a great injustice.

The group is comprised of a drummer, a bassist, a trombonist and an additional percussionist whose setup includes instruments like xylophones and marimbas. Together, they divine a powerful form of tribal groove with progressive jazz song structures and a punk rock edge that somehow still remains catchy.

Though led by renowned percussionist Mike “Treefrog” Dillon, the true on-stage fireball is trombonist Carly Meyers, who was seemingly in constant motion from start to finish, while impressively conjuring up enough air to play her lines to near perfection. She even came into the

Symphony orchestra receives national recognition

BY NOELLE HARRIS A&E WRITER

When most people hear that West Virginia University is being recognized on a national stage, they may think it is for a sport such as basketball or football. However, there are many other successful programs at WVU. The West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra is one such program. It was recently named one of six finalists in The American Prize Competition, which recognizes excellence in orchestral performance by a college or university orchestra.

The American Prize is a new series of non-profit national competitions in the performing arts, providing professional adjudication, cash awards and regional, national and international recognition for the best recorded performances. Ensembles and individuals in the United States in college/university, church, community and sec-

ondary school levels are able to enter the competition.

The WVU Symphony Orchestra is competing against the Kennesaw State University Symphony Orchestra; the Mannes Orchestra of New York, N.Y.; the St. Olaf Orchestra of Northfield, Minn.; the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra; and the Baylor Symphony Orchestra.

For WVU, this recognition comes as just another recruitment tool. The WVU Symphony Orchestra is known for its precision, and this will hopefully give many talented musicians another reason to come to WVU and participate in the orchestra program.

“It is also our hope – as we gain more such national recognition – that the number of talented young musicians who consider WVU as a place to study will continue to grow,” said Mitchell Arnold, conductor of the West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra.

To achieve recognition like this, musicians work hours

“crowd” to get them going.

However, Dillon was fun to watch in his own right.

Whether he was creating eerie soundscapes while playing with four mallets at once or adding in lightning speed fills laden with aggressive accents, his incredible skill was on full display.

Adding in drum-kit maestro Adam Gertner and the heavily distorted bass work of Patrick McDevitt generated a massive combined force when the band came together on unison hits that transformed the group into a primal tribal thunder as powerful as any metal band.

Together, the two bands displayed a great deal of professionalism and passion by going out and putting on a great show for the few in attendance.

on end to perfect the music, so being recognized as one of the best in the nation is fulfilling. But it also gives members of the ensemble another reason to keep practicing and get even better.

“The WVU Symphony Orchestra is being recognized for what it accomplished last year,” Arnold said. “Now, we are all ready to confront the challenge of performing as the 2013-14 WVU Symphony Orchestra, again with exciting and demanding pieces on our concert schedule.”

This year is looking to be another fantastic one for the WVU Symphony Orchestra, too. The orchestra will be performing classical pieces written by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Wagner and many others.

Regular attendees will enjoy this music, and Arnold said he hopes the recognition will also bring in new audience members.

“Our regular concert-goers already know how thrilling our performances can be,” Arnold said. “Perhaps with this recognition, we’ll get to hear what an orchestra of passionate, dedicated and talented young musicians can do.”

The WVU Symphony Orchestra is performing two concerts in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre of the Creative Arts Center this semester. They will be held Thursday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

In addition to these performances, the WVU Symphony Orchestra has been recognized by the College Orchestra Directors Association with an invitation to perform at its national conference in January.

No. 19 WVU to face stiff competition from No. 2 Penn State in 2013 season opener this weekend

BY MEGHAN CARR SPORTS WRITER

The No. 19 West Virginia University women’s soccer team will kick off their 2013 season this weekend at the Penn State Invitational in University Park, Pa. WVU will face the No. 2, 2012 national champion runner-up Penn State Nittany Lions Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Mountaineers will compete again Sunday at 2:30 p.m. against familiar Big East foe, Syracuse.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown knows this weekend will be a tough challenge for her team.

“You are literally going into the lion’s den,” IzzoBrown said.

“We have a lot of respect for Penn State, and the nice thing is we do know Jeffrey Field, but it’s going to be a tough opener. And again to be the best you got to play the best.”

Jeffrey Field is a memorable place for the Mountaineers as they beat the No. 1Stanford Cardi-

nal (1-0) in the 2012 season during the Penn State Invitational.

The Mountaineers hope to avenge their 2012 loss to Penn State.

The Nittany Lions beat the Mountaineers 2-1 in a disappointing overtime loss at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium for the Mountaineer Classic. In the 85th minute, senior forward Kate Schwindel tied the game until an obstruction call at the top of the box gave PSU a free kick with just over a minute re-

The loss is still a tough one for the team to accept and the Mountaineers know this weekend is a chance to get revenge.

“Anytime you play West Virginia against Penn State, it’s going be a grudge match, and we know that it is going be a tough game.

It’s a new year, it’s a new team, and we’re definitely going to get after them. We definitely keep the loss in the back of our head because everybody likes a little revenge factor,” Izzo-

The Mountaineers and Nittany Lions have competed against each other 10 times since 2003, with both teams owning five wins.

In 2010, the Mountaineers defeated Penn State 2-1 in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

That was the last time the Mountaineers were victorious against the Nittany Lions.

Although Syracuse is not ranked in the preseason poll, it could still

cause some issues for the Mountaineers.

Syracuse returns this year after an impressive nine-win season and its second consecutive appearance in the Big East Tournament. Syracuse has an impressive group of returning starters for this season including senior Brittany Anghel, the 2012 Big East Goalkeeper of the Year. Three of the Orange’s top five scorers will be returning. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Cornerbacks look to take a bigger role in 2013 success

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

In football it is natural to match size with size.

During West Virginia’s first season in the Big 12 Conference in 2012, the defensive struggles were plagued partly by an undersized secondary that failed to cover talented opposing wide receivers.

In 2013, West Virginia will face more of the same.

For instance, in week two, WVU squares off with Oklahoma, a team that features a pair of 6-foot-2 wideouts with Jaz Reynolds and Trey Metoyer hauling in passes.

As the season moves from week to week in the Big 12, WVU will see more 6-foot-plus receivers.

So, what is different about West Virginia’s group of cornerbacks this

year?

Physically the position unit is seeing major changes. In the 2012 season, 5-foot-10 senior Pat Miller and 5-foot-10 junior Brodrick Jenkins started, while a 5-foot-10 freshman Nana Kyeremeh played in a backup role.

This season, WVU will likely start quality bodies who can stand across the line of scrimmage from opposing wide receivers.

Juniors Travis Bell and Ishmael Banks, who are both at 6-foot-1, are likely to start for WVU at the position, while 6-foot-2 true freshman Daryl Worley will serve as the third man in rotation.

Bell made the switch from safety to corner during the spring. With his long frame and athleticism, the fundamental adjustments between

what he did at safety and what he is doing at corner have come easy for Bell.

“Corner is more (about being) technically sound, so you have to be more patient to see everything,” Bell said. “You might have 25 different techniques, but since I’m bigger, I use my size as an advantage.”

Additionally, Banks probably had the best fall camp of any of the corners and Worley, out of Penn Charter School, has made a seamless transition from high school to college, according to WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“Ishmael Banks has been playing just as good as anybody, and Daryl Worley is a guy that has a tremendous amount of upside,” Holgorsen said.

“I’d be shocked if Daryl Worley didn’t have a big

role on defense.”

WVU cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell said that matchups will be more favorable this year as far as the size of the players, especially because the Big 12 loves to take advantage of personnel mismatches.

“In this conference you’re going to have a bunch of spread teams that put their players in situations to get one-onone matchups,” Mitchell said. “If you don’t go into a game with a plan for matchups that could be in the slot or could be on the backside corner, then they can expose you.”

Brodrick Jenkins, Brandon Napoleon and Terrell Chestnut will likely play in a reserve role for West Virginia. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Kramer sees new confidence in squad before scrimmage

BY JON FEHRENS SPORTS WRITER

West Virginia head volleyball coach Jill Kramer has not seen a lot of change with her team since the 2012 season. With the loss of only one senior, this year’s team is virtually identical to the one she led in 2012.

So, how does the same team that did not win one Big 12 conference game become competitive once again? They ditch the inexperience and enter the season with newly found confidence and a sense of maturity.

Kramer began noticing a new wave of confidence in her team last spring. During the spring, the volleyball team has a chance to work on their mechanics while benefiting from playing live competition. This was when Kramer began to see change.

“They have matured a lot from the past year,” she said.

“They put in the work dur-

ing the spring to know they will be successful when the season comes around. With the work they are doing, it gives confidence in themselves and others. I can see them learning how to play the game, learning how to carry themselves and what they have to do to be disciplined.”

Even as her team is growing and learning, Kramer is still finding new ways to challenge the young group.

To keep competition flowing this season, she has opened every roster position. This way everyone on the roster feels like they have a chance to compete, which naturally makes for a higher level of effort.

“Competition breeds competition,” Kramer said.

“We have multiple people going out for the same spot, which brings that out. With putting every position up for grabs we feel like this can get the team ready to compete. Everyone feels right now like they can make an impact.”

Having roster spots open for competition could prove useful for the young returning players. Sophomore Hannah Sackett, who was given the achievement award for effort, has seen an increase in reps at practice due to the new competition rule. Fellow sophomores Nikki Attea and Brittany Sample, both standout freshmen in 2012, are participating in more live competition rather than just watching it. “(Last fall) we saw the game instead of just competing, what we have now is everyone competing,” Kramer said. “Throughout these competitions we have seen some really spectacular plays from several athletes. I can tell now they are ready to play another team.”

The volleyball team will see their first bit of action in the annual Gold/Blue scrimmage in the WVU Coliseum this Saturday at 1 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Smith will start against the Giants in preseason action FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — It’s Geno Smith’s turn to try to prove he should be the New York Jets’ quarterback this season.

In a move that was expected for several days, Rex Ryan announced Thursday that the second-round draft pick will start over Mark Sanchez in the Jets’ preseason game against the Giants on Saturday night.

“We’ll see how far we take him into this game this week,” Ryan said.

“Mark will play also. I think (Smith) has looked good and seems like the ankle is

obviously a lot better than it was this past week.

“I’m excited to see him play.”

The rookie has worked with the first-team offense all week during practice.

Smith, in a tightly contested competition with Sanchez, did not play in the Jets’ last preseason game last Saturday night against Jacksonville because of a sprained ankle.

Most NFL teams normally play their starters into the third quarter of the third preseason game, but the Jets wanted to see how Smith’s ankle responded this week before decid-

ing on a starter against the Giants. Because Sanchez played three quarters against the Jaguars, the Jets want a better look at Smith in game action.

“We want to see him play,” offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. “Hopefully, he’ll get the chance to turn it loose and let his natural abilities show up, and his natural style. I think, and I almost know, that he’s worked so hard that he’s there mentally.”

Smith has played just two quarters in the preseason after getting hurt while rolling out on a play

in the third quarter at Detroit nearly two weeks ago.

He was cleared for practice early last week, but struggled on the sore ankle – capped by what Ryan called a “brutal” performance last

Wednesday in which Smith was intercepted four times.

He bounced back this week with an outstanding week of practice as his ankle also healed.

“I’m proud of Geno last

week pushing through it,” Mornhinweg said. “This week, it was still biting him just a little bit, but he was significantly better.’’ It was going to be an equal competition,” Ryan said.

Hernandez indicted Thursday on first-degree murder charge ATTLEBORO, Mass.

(AP) —Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bulletriddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-player’s home.

The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s girlfriend.

Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail.

He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward, his attorney Michael Fee said the defense was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecution’s evidence.

“There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case,” and the state doesn’t have enough evidence to prove the charges, he said.

Hernandez signed a contract last summer worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled.

He could face life in prison if convicted.

The Bristol County grand jury also indicted two others in the case:

Hernandez’s associate Ernest Wallace and Hernandez’s cousin Tanya Singleton.

Wallace is charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Prosecutors have said he was with Hernandez the night Lloyd died Singleton is charged with criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the grand jury, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. She has been jailed in Massachusetts since Aug. 1. A recent affidavit said that, after Lloyd’s killing, Singleton bought Wallace a bus ticket.

Carlos Ortiz, who faces a weapons charge in district court connected to the case, was not indicted.

Sutter said Hernandez’s arraignment in Superior Court, where the case now moves, could come next week.

A jogger found Lloyd’s body on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park. His mother, Ursula Ward, called him a loving son who never hurt anyone.

Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd’s killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with at a nightclub days earlier. They say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked Lloyd up at his home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood early on June 17 and then drove to the industrial park.

Shortly before his death, authorities say, Lloyd sent his sister text messages asking if she

had seen who he was with.

“NFL,’’ he wrote. “Just so you know.’’

Moments later, authorities say, Lloyd was dead after gunshots rang out near a warehouse he apparently got out of the car for what he thought was a bathroom break.

Authorities have not said who fired the shots, but according to court documents, Ortiz told police in Florida that Wallace said it was Hernandez.

Wallace earlier pleaded not guilty in district court to a charge of accessory to murder after the fact. Ortiz pleaded not guilty to the firearm charge. A judge ordered Wallace held on $500,000 bail and Ortiz held without bail.

Authorities have said they haven’t found the murder weapon, which they believe was a .45-caliber Glock pistol.

But they recovered a magazine for .45-caliber bullets in Hernandez’s Hummer as well as ammunition of the same caliber inside a condo he rented in Franklin, Mass.

Prosecutors say they have video surveillance from Hernandez’s home showing him before and after Lloyd’s killing holding what appears to be a Glock. Authorities also recovered a shell casing that matched those found at the homicide scene after tracking the rental car Hernandez was in the night Lloyd died.

Since then, Boston police have asked police in Hernandez’s hometown of Bristol, Conn., for their help with the probe into

Lloyd’s homicide as well as a 2012 double homicide near a Boston nightclub. A Connecticut police lieutenant said authorities searched the home of Hernandez’s uncle, seizing an SUV sought in the double killing that had been rented in Hernandez’s name.

Two men died in the July 2012 shooting in Boston’s South End, with witnesses reporting that gunfire came from inside a gray SUV with Rhode Island tags. Boston police haven’t reported any arrests in the deaths of 29-year-old Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and 28-year-old Safiro Teixeira Furtado and won’t comment on whether Hernandez is a suspect.

Hernandez is also facing civil litigation after a Connecticut man filed a lawsuit asserting the former player shot him in the face in February after they argued at a Miami strip club. Alexander Bradley, who says he lost an eye, told police at the time he didn’t know who shot him.

Also Thursday, Hernandez’s attorneys asked an Attleboro judge to order the state to stop ‘’deliberately misleading or making false statements’’ to potential witnesses. They claim detectives visiting a potential witness at a Connecticut prison to interview him told the man this month they were there “to help Aaron out.’’

Sutter called it an allegation and said he hadn’t yet reviewed the defense motion.

SEC coaches name Manziel to preseason second-team BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Southeastern Conference coaches apparently don’t think Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is the league’s best quarterback.

The coaches rated the Texas A&M quarterback as the preseason second-team selection on the teams released by the league Thursday. Georgia’s Aaron Murray was the first-team choice while Alabama’s AJ Mc-

Carron received thirdteam honors.

Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman last season, but allegations that he received payment for autographs could threaten his eligibility.

Manziel’s lawyer has said he believes the quarterback will play in Texas A&M’s season opener against Rice on Aug. 31 even if an NCAA investigation isn’t finished, but

that decision could ultimately be the Aggies’.

The cloud over his eligibility might have something to do with Manziel’s downgrade. He was the first-team pick by league media before those allegations surfaced.

All three quarterbacks put up big stats, but Manziel had an unprecedented season in the SEC, even one-upping 2010 Heisman winner Cam Newton of Auburn. He led the

league with 1,410 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns and also passed for 3,706 yards and 26 scores.

Manziel is the first player in NCAA history to surpass 5,000 total yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a single season.

Murray also has put up impressive numbers.

He is the first quarterback in SEC history to have 3,000 passing yards in three straight seasons, throwing for a school-record 3,893 yards and 36 touchdowns last season while being intercepted 10 times.

Murray already holds the school career marks for touchdown passes

with 95 and touchdowns responsible for (104).

McCarron led the nation in passing efficiency w ith 30 touchdow n passes and just three interceptions.

Alabama led the way with five first-team picks and 16 selections overall.

LSU and Georgia both had eight make one of the teams, while Florida and Tennessee had seven each.

Murray and McCarron might have better supporting casts among the skill positions, at least according to the coaches picks.

Georgia tailback Todd Gurley and tight end Ar-

thur Lynch are both firstteamers. So are Crimson Tide tailback T.J. Yeldon and wide receiver Amari Cooper.

Jake Matthews, who protects Manziel’s blind side at left tackle, also made the first team.

Defensively, South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was a first team pick. Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley and safety HaHa Clinton-Dix were also among those selected.

Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. And the SEC didn’t release the ballots or vote totals.

Heyward may miss rest of regular season ATLANTA (AP) — Braves outfielder Jason Heyward had surgery Thursday on his broken right jaw after he was struck by a pitch.

The team has not said how long he will be out, but he could miss the rest of the regular season. Atlanta has a commanding lead in the NL East and hopes Heyward will recover in time for the playoffs.

Dr. Glenn Maron operated in Atlanta, one day after Heyward was injured.

He inserted plates in both places where the jaw was fractured.

Before his injury, Heyward had become one of the Braves’ hottest hitters.

He was batting .253 with 13 homers and 37 RBIs. The loss of Heyward is

the latest in a staggering string of injuries for the Braves this season, even while building a 15-game lead entering Thursday night’s game at St. Louis.

Already, the Braves have lost six players to seasonending operations, including starting pitcher Tim Hudson and key relievers Eric O’Flaherty and Jonny Venters.

Heyward got off to a slow start this season, his struggles heightened by an emergency appendectomy in late April. But he sparked the offense after moving to the top of the batting order last month, filling a role that had been a major problem.

The Braves have relied largely on stellar pitching to carry them to the top of the division, ranking sec-

ond in the league in ERA (3.18) before they faced the Cardinals.

Outfielder B.J. Upton and second baseman Dan Uggla are in the midst of dreadful seasons, both hitting under .200. Uggla is on the disabled list recovering from laser eye surgery. Outfielder Reid Johnson is also on the DL with an Achilles tendon injury and the Braves aren’t sure when he’ll return.

Barring a trade, the Braves will have to get by with a makeshift lineup.

Jordan Schafer seems most likely to take over the leadoff spot and right field.

Slugger Evan Gattis is another possibility in left field, which would require Justin Upton to shift to Heyward’s spot in right.

Sims named to Tyler Rose Award Watch List Soccer’s popularity

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

West Virginia senior running back Charles Sims has been named to the inaugural Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List presented by the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce.

The award is given to the top offensive player in Division 1 Football that exhibits characteristics of Earl Campbell. Those characteristics consist of integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity – specifically tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals.

Additionally, to qualify for the award, the athlete must be a graduate of a Texas high school, have played at a Texas-based

Running back Charles Sims has generated plenty of preseason hype this year.

junior college or be playing at a four-year Texas college.

Sims played at Westbury High School where he was named a member of the Houston Chronicle’s Top 100 players. Following his career at Westbury, Sims played three years at the University of Houston where he shined as All-CUSA performer in 2011 and 2012.

Sims is expected to be the starting running back for WVU in his final year of eligibility.

Other Big 12 athletes on the watch list include Texas’ David Ash, Kansas State’s John Hubert, TCU’s Casey Pachall, Baylor’s Lache Seastrunk, Kansas’ James Sims, Oklahoma State’s Josh Stewart and Texas Tech’s Eric Ward.

Something is happening in American sports right now that is making a lot of people feel uncomfortable.

It’s been all over ESPN, Fox Sports and now even NBC. It’s a little non-traditional in this country, sure, but people like it; soccer. It’s on the rise in the U.S. and there’s nothing the naysayers can do about it.

The support this country has given the U.S. Men’s National soccer team has been inspiring during recent years and past summer was certainly unforgettable. Americans packed football (yes, American football) stadiums to watch the stars and stripes. At home? Studies show that more and more people are tuning into these games. Next summer’s World Cup promises to be a show, even in the States.

Overseas matches are becoming easier to watch.

A rigorous “thank you” should be given to NBC, which will air the entire English Premier League season on American television. Also, matches will be played regularly on the new Fox Sports 1 and the old classic, Fox Soccer Channel.

It wasn’t too long ago that soccer was the punch line of all the jokes in the United States. People couldn’t connect with it or there wasn’t enough scoring were popular excuses to boycott the sport. And what about those ties?

With all the joy of a growing sport comes a concern, however. Are people going to put down the Xbox controller, stop playing FIFA ‘13 and actually attend live soccer matches in Morgan-

town? Is there anyone out there who wants to support a club just minutes from their home rather than hundreds of miles in another country? We’ll see this season at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The men’s and women’s soccer teams are two of the prized teams the athletic department has to offer. Both squads qualify for the NCAA Tournament regularly. In fact, the WVU women’s team hasn’t missed the postseason since 1999. They are fun, highly entertaining and thankful for all the support they get.

Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium has ranked in the top 25 in college soccer attendance each of the past five seasons. If you’re thinking about getting yourself to a match, don’t think you’re starting a trend. In reality, you’re just joining the party. Every year coaches Marlon LeBlanc and Nikki Izzo-Brown beg for supporters for their teams.

They deserve it. They should get more of it.

This season the men’s team will take on five teams in the preseason top 30 rankings, while the women face seven teams that played in the NCAA tournament a year ago. The path won’t be easy for either squad to make 2013 a successful year.

It’s okay if you know who Lionel Messi is, but not Andy Bevin. Don’t be ashamed that you know Alex Morgan, but not Frances Silva. A new season begins in Morgantown Aug. 30. It’s a great opportunity to get to know them and more fantastic talent WVU has to offer.

Do your duty as a Mountaineer. Support these teams. You’ll be happy you did. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
