WVU hosts shale extraction seminar

BY Jacob Bojesson Staff writer

West Virginia University hosted a two-day National Research Council workshop, in which the issues of producing natural gas from shale deposits were discussed.

A wide variety of experts and professionals from across the country attended the workshop held at the Erickson Alumni Center Monday and Tuesday.

Developments in technology have seen the production of natural gas from shale deposit, escalate in recent years.

While there are many positive aspects to the use of shale for this kind of production, the longterm impact on the environment is an area where opinions collide.

“It is basically hydrocracking of shale to produce natural gas. We’ve been talking about the geology, impacts on water re-

serves and about impacts on water reserves at air,” said George Hornberger, director of the Institute for Energy and Environment at Vanderbilt University.

“The issues are of course quite complex.”

Producing natural gas is an inexpensive way to produce clean fuel without causing much impact on the atmosphere.

“The positives are that people who are concerned about the atmosphere see it as an important bridge

for generating electricity,” Hornberger said. “It’s viewed of course on an economic basis as keeping energy prices in the U.S. low so that people can afford things.”

The main issues are the consequences this method of harvesting natural gas will have on the ecosystem, especially in streams.

“The water that comes back (after production) has a lot of things in it that were in the shale including a lot of salts,” Hornberger

said. “The water cannot just be disposed, because it is of low quality, so that has to be contained and then treated.”

The effects of drilling the environment in the long run remain to be seen.

Many of the attendees highlighted the lack of data that exists on the topic and asked for more collective efforts.

Chestnut Mountain Ranch gives sense of family, home to local boys by daniel crow correspondent

Chestnut Mountain Ranch gives hope and a positive outlook to boys in need of a strong family-like relationship.

The Ranch is a Christian-based safe haven for boys and families in crisis. According to its website, the Chestnut Mountain Ranch is a place for family restoration, where boys can recieve an quality education and experience positive family values.

West Virginia is suffering from one of the highest rates of poverty, child abuse and neglect in the United States and Chestnut Mountain Ranch provides much-needed assistance.

The Ranch was modeled after Eagle Ranch in Georgia, where co-founders of Chestnut Mountain Ranch Steve and Dawn Finn started their work with at-risk children.

Steve, a former police officer, began his career working on a gang unit in Atlanta, where he first gained the inspiration for what is now Chestnut Mountain Ranch.

The Eberly College of Arts and Sciences is looking for names to add to the Outstanding Teacher plaque in Woodburn Hall.

The college is currently accepting nominations for their annual Outstanding Teacher Awards.

“We are looking for the best teachers in the college,” said associate dean of Eberly College Joan Gorham. “What makes an outstanding teacher varies depending on the type of class and the level of students in the class. There’s a lot of different ways to approach teaching.”

“We don’t want to constrain that in anyway. We list things like mastering of the subject and success in inspiring the spirit of the subject.”

Gorham said she believes that the most outstanding teachers take their lectures beyond the classroom.

Eberly College seeks ‘Outstanding Teacher’ Staff Writer

Students who use smartphones on a daily basis often think up an ideal app that would simplify a portion of their lives.

The College of Business & Economics at West Virginia University is giving students the chance to turn their ideas into reality.

The college is hosting an App Challenge, open to all full-time or part-time students and will take place over the course of the next six months.

The competition gives students with an app idea an opportunity to collaborate with other students who have the technical knowledge to make the app a reality.

Throughout the challenge, students will participate in four workshops that will teach them to code and create their app for either Android or iPhone.

Tara St. Clair, office administrator for the B&E Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, said these workshops can be a time commitment, but provide the participants useful skills the students can take with them after the challenge.

“It is really a learning process,” St. Clair said. “By the end, students will have

an actual product they could sell and potentially make money from.”

St. Clair said they are encouraging students from across the University to participate, no matter their level of technological skills.

“We want to encourage participation,” she said. “All you need is a good idea.”

Judging criteria will include, but is not limited to, creativity, marketability, simplicity, appeal and cost benefit for potential users.

In 2012, Harry Strack, a junior management information systems student, entered his app idea in the contest and came away with $1,000 as the secondplace winner.

“You’ve got nothing to lose, and it takes a minute to write up a one-page idea,” Strack said. “Go for it; I didn’t know how to code or write an app. It was completely worth it; I won $1,000.”

The app Strack created with his partner Ray Zane is similar to iCalendar and was based on the need for an easier way for students to schedule their classes.

A cash prize of $1,500 will be awarded to the first-place winner, a $1,000 prize to the second-place winner, and a $500 cash prize for the third-best app

“Probably the most important teaching takes place outside of the classroom. Most of the learning that the students do needs to take place outside the classroom, as well,” she said. “However, what happens during lecture is an essential element, because it motivates everything else and organizes it.”

After nominations, the Outstanding Teacher selection committee will request full documentation from the strongest candidates. From there, the committee will provide their list of final recommendations to Eberly College dean Robert Jones in December.

According to Gorham, previous winners of the competition have displayed passion and commitment to their teaching.

“Without talking about the specific individuals, one of the characteristics common to the winners is that these are people who are passionate about teaching and have a deep interest in the success of their students,” Gorham said. “They express this passion in different ways depending on their course and their students.”

“Everyone has a different method of teaching but what they all have in common is the commitment and passion of their teaching.”

The winners of the awards receive $1,000 from the college, along with recognition during the Weekend of Honors.

Last month, the club drug Molly was potentially inked to the deaths of four young people in eastern cities, according to WellWVU: The Student’s Center for Health.

Molly, the purest form of ecstasy (methylenedioxy-methamphetamine or MDMA), has been reported in the past as being “safer” because it is pure.

However, no one is able to know what is in the drug before choosing to ingest it and it is often mixed with ha rd e r drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine.

“We haven’t seen a lot of students who have come in for help for Molly, but I’ve heard some students talk about it,” said Missy Pforr, crew center counselor for WellWVU. “What we’d like to do is just get the word out there about how dangerous this drug is,” Pforr said.

Although the use of Molly has not been reported as a critical issue on campus,

West Virginia University students should remain aware of the drug when going to parties or clubs.

The nickname Molly is derived from the word “molecule”. The drug is illegal and a schedule one controlled substance, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse.

“Molly is man-made and illegal, therefore it’s unregulated,” Pforr said. “It’s really hard to know what a ‘dose’ might be.”

This might explain the occurrence of overdoses within the past few weeks.

According to Pforr, MDMA causes confusion, anxiety, depression, paranoia, sleep problems and heat stroke.

“When an individual begins to take it, they get more hyper, and maybe more alert,” Pforr said. “Then, while they are using it, they lose their sense of time and perception, and it enhances their sense of touch.”

Ex-Massey official gets 3.5 years in conspiracy BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — A former Massey Energy executive who admitted he conspired in an illegal advancewarning scheme at West Virginia coal mines was ordered Tuesday to spend 3½ years behind bars for his role in undermining both federal safety laws and the inspectors charged with enforcing them.

U.S. District Judge Irene Berger sentenced former White Buck Coal Co. president David Hughart on conspiracy charges that grew out of a criminal investigation into the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine disaster. She also ordered him to serve three years’ probation when he finishes his sentence.

White Buck was a Massey subsidiary.

“I’m sorry for what I’ve done in the past. I let it happen,” Hughart told the judge. “It was very common practice.”

Though Hughart never worked at Upper Big Branch, he is cooperating in an ongoing Department of Justice probe of the explosion that killed 29 men. Two other men, former Upper Big Branch security chief Hughie Elbert Stover and former superintendent Gary May, are already behind bars for their actions at the now-sealed mine near Montcoal.

Hughart’s cooperation signals that federal prosecutors may be working their way up Massey’s corporate ladder, though they have steadfastly refused to comment on their possible targets.

“He was part of a larger conspiracy, and that is of significant concern to us,” said U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. “This practice could not have occurred alone. And we’re going to take this investigation wherever it leads, and we’re going to make longstanding change in the

safety of our coal mines.”

Hughart has admitted his role in ensuring that miners at other Massey subsidiaries got illegal advance warning of surprise safety inspections, and he implicated Massey CEO Don Blankenship in the conspiracy during his plea hearing earlier this year.

Several investigations found miners at Upper Big Branch routinely got illegal advance warnings, giving them time to temporarily fix or disguise potentially deadly conditions underground.

Massey is now owned by Virginia-based Alpha Natural Resources. Blankenship, who retired ahead of the merger, denies any wrongdoing.

Hughart, shackled at the ankles and wearing an orange jumpsuit, did not mention Blankenship when he spoke to the court Tuesday.

Hughart was fired from White Buck a month before the Upper Big Branch blast

after failing a random drug test.

He’d been in court earlier Tuesday for a bond-revocation hearing following a recent arrest on drug charges.

Federal probation officials said he was caught Aug. 30 in Beckley with the painkiller oxycodone and the anti-anxiety drug alprazolam, but he had no prescription for either.

He did not contest the drug charges in court. Magistrate Clarke VanDervort revoked Hughart’s $10,000 bond, and Hughart was turned over to U.S. marshals after his sentencing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Ruby acknowledged the drug offenses could affect Hughart’s credibility as a witness as the government builds its case.

Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died at Upper Big Branch, said that whether advance warning was com-

mon practice or not, Hughart knew it was illegal and should have stopped it.

But rather than watch people go to jail for that, Quarles wants to see indictments of the Massey executives directly responsible for conditions at his son’s mine.

“I still got my hopes,” he said after the sentencing.

“I’m willing to wait, as long as it takes. And then slam the door on it.”

Jonathan Hughart, 32, said the wrong man was in the courtroom.

“It should be Don Blankenship,” he said. “Don Blankenship was a very strong influence on my father. He was always in fear of losing his job.”

Upper Big Branch was the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in 40 years.

Four investigations found that worn and broken cutting equipment created a spark that ignited accumula-

Continued from page 1 As it fosters meaningful relationships, the Ranch also promotes continued education modeled specifically for an at risk population of teenage males in a place where risk is highest.

Steve said the Ranch provides a program that works not only on the child, but

on the whole family. It also makes an impact on the boys while lifting the financial burden from the shoulders of tax payers.

“While I was a cop, I saw so many programs that were just a waste of tax dollars with kids coming in and just leaving,” Steve said.

The Ranch Community Store, which opened this past February, gives its proceeds to the Ranch and other organizations and op-

erates on donations from the community.

This offers the community a bargain outlet where donations are priced with an intent to be sold quickly, because students and community members are constantly donating old furniture and other used items – all of which is counted as profit for charitable cause.

“It’s so amazing to see the work that people are doing

for these kids that don’t have families or have families that aren’t able to take of them,” said Jens Loso, a junior geology student at West Virginia University.

Loso said he feels a call to give aid to the boys at the Ranch.

“As a Christian, I feel called to serve them,” he said. “I feel called to help out wherever I can.”

Steve said he always had a vision to settle into the Mor-

gantown community because West Virginia has one of the highest needs for his type of work, In the near future, Chestnut Mountain Ranch will be sponsoring a variety of events such as the 2013 Don Nehlen Golf Classic and the Chestnut Mountain Mud Run. These events raise a large amount of proceeds to benefit the education and needs of the boys.

“There are in particular for West Virginia tremendous resources,” Hornberger said. “There is an energy resource that the state has, that can be developed to get an economic advantage, much as coal was developed for many years in West Virginia and was an engine for the development of the state.”

potential to make the user vulnerable to others around them.

“When people are using it, they are more open and accepting, so they feel like they connect to the people around them, when really, they might not even know them,” Pforr said.“It often makes people feel like everybody’s their friend.”

University police lieutenant Rose Wolfe advises students to contact the Morgantown Police if they believe something has been slipped in their own or someone else’s drink.

For instances in the dorm, Wolfe recommends contacting the University Police.

“Don’t go by yourself,” she said. “Use the buddy system. If you get up and dance or go to the restroom, don’t come back and drink the drink that you left there. Trust no one.”

Students should not only be alert for their own safety, but they should remain aware of their surrounding conditions to prevent drug overdoses.

The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration said the root cause was Massey’s “systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts” to conceal life-threatening problems.

The prosecutor noted that while Hughart had faced a possible six years under the law, Berger imposed a sentence that was one year longer than federal sentencing guidelines recommended.

Jam band Leftover Salmon to bring energetic show to MET

BY Carol Fox A&E WRITER

The most recent installment in The Metropolitan Theatre’s series of live shows will host storied jam band Leftover Salmon tonight at 369 High St. Refusing to pigeonhole their approach, Leftover Salmon is self-described as “Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass,” a Frankenstein’s monster of a genre that incorporates bluegrass, swing, rock, country, Cajun Zydeco and a few others.

Leftover Salmon formed in 1989 in Colorado and, in addition to their unique and encompassing style, they are considered to be the pioneers of “slamgrass,” a genre that Andy Thorn, banjoist for Leftover Salmon, describes as a sort of plugged-in, drummed-up bluegrass.

“Slamgrass is unique because it takes the bluegrass we all love, and, because we’ve added electric instruments and drums, it’s got this slam quality to it that’s more rock ‘n’ roll,” Thorn said.

While Colorado might not be the first place you think of when you imagine bluegrass roots, Leftover Salmon’s lead vocal-

ist Vince Herman has his feet firmly planted in the southeastern hills of Appalachia. He’s one of our own – a former Mountaineer.

“I like to say I’m from ‘Pennsyltucky’ … I grew up in Pittsburgh and then went to college in West Virginia,” Herman said. “I’m always happy to adopt the state of West Virginia because the music scene there is so good. I attended West Virginia University in Morgantown for a few years before moving to Colorado.”

Throughout the years, Leftover Salmon’s lineup has changed a few times, but two of the original three founders – Herman on acoustic guitar and vocals and Drew Emmitt on mandolin, electric guitar, fiddle and vocals – have remained throughout all of those changes. Other current members include Greg Garrison on bass and vocals and Jose Martinez on drums.

The third original member, Mark Vann, who played electric banjo for the band’s first incarnation, tragically lost a battle with cancer in 2002. While Vann insisted the band continue touring and making music, they decided to

By summer 2007, Leftover Salmon decided to return to stages throughout the country with a new official banjoist, Thorn, who grew up as a huge Leftover Salmon fan.

“I grew up in North Carolina, and my parents were big bluegrass fans,” Thorn said. “They took me to MerleFest back in the day, and that was the first time I ever saw Leftover Salmon.

I was probably 14 or 15 at the time.”

the past few years and, not to say anything about them being less than great musicians, but there’s just something intangible about playing with Andy that kind of makes Drew (Emmitt) and I look at each other and grin. This is what we’ve been missing as far as that feeling between Drew, Mark and I that used to be there.”

According to Thorn, not only will that level of vitality will be reflected in Leftover Salmon’s set tonight, but he hopes the crowd

As far as the rest of the band is concerned, 29-year-old Thorn has injected some much-needed vitality into the slamgrass outfit.

“Andy’s (Thorn) a real young guy with a lot of great energy who plays in a way that definitely relates to Mark’s (Vann) playing, and he’s a lot of fun to be around,” Herman said. “It’s led to a real revival that just clicks on some hard-to-describe level.

“We like playing for college crowds because there’s all that energy,” Thorn said.

“We always try to entertain. There will definitely be some music to dance to.

And no matter what style of music you like, you’ll definitely find something for you at our show. You’re going to have a good time.”

Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer, creators of ‘The League,’ talk switch to FXX

BY SAM BOSSERMAN Correspondent

This weekend saw the 32 teams of the National Football League kick off the 2013 season. The likes of ESPN and FOX Sports 1 are filled with in-depth analyses and talking heads getting back into the fray at full speed.

Despite these distractions, millions of Americans across the country embarked on what they know to be the real season of interest this time of the year – fantasy football.

The start of the fantasy football season brings with it the excitement of watching NFL games while adding to the increased emotion that comes with personal investment. It is this mix of emotion and excitement FXX’s “The League” captures so well.

“The League” follows a group of friends who all compete, often hilariously, to be top dog in their own fantasy football league.

The show is now in its fifth season and recently

made the move from its original channel FX when it was selected to be one of the flagship shows on the brand new FXX channel.

The show’s writers and creators, Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer, originally had reservations about the switch for this season of “The League,” which premiered last Wednesday on FXX. “If you had asked us about the move a week ago, we’d probably be giving a very different and political answer... We were terrified our ratings were going to plummet,” Jackie said.

“However, in reality our ratings (for the premiere) were the same, and in many ways better than last year’s.

“This shows us that our fans are very loyal and are making an effort to find the show (on its new channel).”

Jeff and Jackie acknowledged there were still some issues regarding people who want to watch the show but are not able to because of on-going ca-

ble company negotiations.

However, the two were pleased overall with how things were going.

“We are very flattered to have our show be chosen to help launch a whole new network,” Jeff said. “It’s exciting to be pioneers, even if most pioneers do end up either dead on the top of a mountain or eating themselves.”

Jeff and Jackie said they thought The League’s popularity, particularly among college students, was owed to the fact that they keep the comedy fresh.

“It is built to be funny, and I think college students, especially, are sensitive to things feeling fake,” Jeff said. “College students are always looking for what’s cool and funny, and that’s exactly what we are trying to be.”

As far as inspirations for the writing of the show go, Jeff and Jackie said they are both ardent fantasy football players.

“We find watching peo-

ple who are that obsessed about anything entertaining, so we decided to write what we know and show how badly we behave in our own fantasy league,” Jackie said. “We are pretty hardcore fantasy players.”

Jeff said a good amount of the cast and staff members of “The League” are in their own fantasy football league together, which can get pretty competitive.

“This year, we had (NFL quarterback) Jay Cutler in one of the episodes,” Jeff said. “For one, everybody wanted to be friendly with an NFL quarterback, and for two, everybody was buddying up and sucking up to him, trying to get as much information as they could about the state of the Chicago Bear’s offense.

“Every time there is an NFL player on the set we are all trying to get an advantage over each other,” he said.

“The League” airs new episodes Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. EST on FXX. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Without a contract, the 5C costs $549 and $649 depending on memory size.

The second phone, the 5S, is “the most forward-looking phone we have ever created,” said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple. It will come in silver, gold and “space gray” and run a new chip, the A7 that is up to twice as fast as the A6.

The camera in the 5S received some major upgrades, including several automatic features designed to produce better photos. It has a larger pixels and a larger aperture, which helps capture more light. The phone also has a “true-tone” flash feature that is designed not to clash with the colors in the room or a person’s skin color – something Schiller said has not been done on a phone before.

The camera, called iSight, has “auto image stabilization,” which helps avoid blurry pictures, and a slow-motion camera for video. A “burst mode” can take 10 frames per second as long as you hold your finger on the shutter, then find the best one in your camera roll.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — For the first time since introducing the device that changed cellphones forever, Apple will offer two distinct versions of the latest iPhones – a cheaper one made of plastic and another that aims to be “the gold standard of smartphones” and reads your fingerprint.

Apple unveiled the latest iPhone models, available on Sept. 20, during an event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. The move comes as the company tries to fend off Samsung and other competitors that want to challenge Apple in the competitive smartphone market. The lower-cost iPhone 5C is expected to help boost sales in China and other areas where people don’t have as much money to spend on new gadgets as they do in the U.S. and Europe.

Research firm Gartner Inc. estimates that Apple had a 14.4 percent share of the world’s smartphone market in the second quarter of this year, No. 2 behind Samsung’s 31.7 percent.

The lower-cost iPhone 5C will be available in five colors – green, blue, yellow, pink and white. CEO Tim Cook calls it “more fun and colorful” than any other iPhone. The 5C has a 4-inch Retina display and is powered by Apple’s A6 chip. It also has an 8 megapixel camera, live photo filters and a rear cover that lights up.

The iPhone 5C will cost $99 for a 16 gigabyte model and $199 for a 32 gigabyte model with a two-year wireless contract.

Jefferies analyst Peter Misek called the phones “lovely,” but said in a note to investors that the $99 minimum price for the 5C is “is higher than expected and still leaves Apple with a product gap in the low-end.”

EDITORIAL

Remembering the tragedy of 9/11 Where were you on Sept.

11, 2001?

That’s a question almost every American 19 years and older can answer. Nearly every American can tell you the significance of the numbers 9/11, even if they weren’t alive for the event.

The morning of Sept. 11, two planes hit the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York, causing them to fully collapse. A third plane crashed into the western wing of the Pentagon with minimal injuries and building damage.

A fourth plane, targeted toward Washington, D.C., missed its mark, crashing in Pennsylvania instead.

Nearly 3,000 people died on the planes or in the buildings – a staggering amount.

For days the only news coverage was of the attacks – who did it, why they did it, the resulting damage, the aftermath and retaliation. Millions of people donated funds and time to the cities and families affected by the attacks. Hours of

broadcast time were devoted to family members attempting to locate their missing loved ones. American flags were hung.

The coverage was horrifying. Videos of the smoke billowing out of the Twin Towers were set on repeat.

Many memorials were constructed. Arguably one of the most impactful memorials lies in the Newseum in Washington, D.C. The Newseum has an exhibit that contains a piece of the wreckage from the Twin Tower debris. There are personal testimonials from victims and accounts from rescuers. Perhaps the most touching part of the exhibit comes from a video in a darkened room showing footage from the wreckage and interviews with journalists whose job it was to capture the event.

War was what we got.

Countless lives have been lost and billions of dollars have been spent on the war on terror.

Nearly 12 years after the attack and the beginning of the war, the effects and the pain are still as fresh as

ever.

To d a y , Americans around the world will take a moment to remember the attacks and how vulnerable and devastated they felt. While the feeling of vulnerability may have been somewhat mollified, the feeling of devastation has not. Devastation in the form of the lives that have been lost, and the ruins of the trading hub of the world.

As a sign of respect and remembrance, forget your academic and work troubles and think about the sacrifices that have been made to make your freedom possible.

A lot of feelings toward Muslims have been negative since the attacks, as well. Take another moment to let go of your negative presuppositions and hate.

Battling body hate: achieving a healthy body image Emily Torbett guest columnist

This weekend while I was flipping through television channels, I managed to catch a few minutes of the popular new show on MTV “Girl Code.”

Although the premise of the show is to make lighthearted and comedic comments on women’s issues, one of the comedians said something that stuck out to me: “You will never look like the girl in the magazine. The girl in the magazine doesn’t even look like the girl in the magazine.”

Most of us would probably say we know this already. We know celebrities and models on the covers of magazines are airbrushed and altered in Photoshop. We know the “ideal” body image pushed on us doesn’t even really exist. So, why is it that we still feel so inadequate for not being able to measure up?

Studies show more than half of the adult women with a healthy weight in the United States believe themselves to be overweight or obese. However, this is a phenomenon that is present far before adulthood.

Two-thirds of high school-aged females say magazine images make them want to lose weight.

50 to 70 percent of healthy females ages 6-12 think they are overweight. Forty-

two percent of first-to-third grade girls want to lose weight, and as many as 81 percent of 10-year-old girls are afraid of gaining weight.

It’s easy to attribute the low self-esteem and poor body image of females across the board to the glossy covers of Photoshopped celebrities we see every time we check out at the grocery store, or the desire to measure up to the impossibly skinny models who sell us clothes.

However, the problem actually runs much deeper.

While the average weight of fashion models has decreased over the past 20 years, the average weight of the normal woman has increased. This contrast has created an ideal environment for the weight loss industry to flourish. From pills to diet plans to exercise DVDs, it seems there is always some sort of “weight loss miracle” being marketed to our growing insecurities.

In a world like this, is it even possible to maintain a healthy sense of self-image anymore? How do you tell you little sister her body is beautiful just the way it is when she is getting an entirely different message from the average of 5,260 weight loss commercials she will see this year on network television alone?

How do you appreciate and love your own body for all it is when you are constantly told that it isn’t good enough?

Every time you turn on the television, you are going to hear an actor say, “I lost 50 pounds with (insert diet product here) and I feel amazing!” or, “Thanks to (insert exercise product here) I finally have the sculpted abs I’ve always wanted!”

In this day and age, hearing these messages is inevitable. The most important thing you can do to maintain a healthy body image is actually pretty simple: remember everything they’re saying is complete and total garbage.

It’s pretty unlikely these people are honestly so happy with the amazing results they’ve gotten from a single product, they have volunteered to go on television to promote it. It is more likely they are actors, models and bodybuilders who are paid a great deal of money to lie to you.

The billion-dollar weight loss industry, while diverse in its products, pushes a constant, unchanging message: If you have a certain body, you will be happy.

This is a complete lie.

Even if you were to exercise your way to your dream body, I promise you it won’t make you any happier than you are right now. Self-confidence is important, but the truth is you will never be able to achieve true happiness from something as vain as your outward appearance.

The next time you see an advertisement for a weight

About 13 percent of women in high school and college suffer from an eating disorder. loss product, think about what the goal is of the people who paid to have it on television or the Internet or in a magazine. They aren’t concerned about your happiness; they’re trying to

make you feel insecure in order to sell you something.

Don’t accept that. Don’t let them make you feel like you aren’t good enough exactly the way you are.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you move in a new direction, and you’ll be more open to being approached. As you gain an inner sense of well-being, you will become more trusting.

If you are single, you don’t need to work on meeting someone -- it will happen naturally. You might need to discern whether a potential suitor is emotionally available. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from spending a lot of time together.

Plan at least one special vacation for just the two of you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH A partner seems to go from being remote to being friendly, and you’ll like the transformation. Communication will open up and create good feelings. Be aware that your ac-

tions often surprise others, and they might need time to adjust. Tonight: Be entertained.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You might think that others are taking charm pills, as they are so agreeable and easygoing. You also could find that certain key people are more attractive and interesting than usual. Know that the positive energy is coming from you. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Defer to others, and they will show their appreciation in a way that pleases you. Your high energy often is a draw, yet some people might find it difficult not to feel drained. You are full of fun around a close friend. This person appreciates this quality in you. Tonight: Where people are.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Listen to your inner voice when dealing with someone whom you see daily. Follow through, because this person might need a special “hello.” Be aware of the importance of the role of this person in your life. Tonight: Off to the gym, or get some other form of exercise.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You beam, and others can’t help but respond. As a result, both your personal and professional interactions will gain intensity. A conversation could provide an opening for you to ask for a raise or some kind of similar benefit. Tonight: Why not celebrate the moment?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Honor your feelings rather than do what you should. As a result, you might prevent a problem from occur-

ring. Obligations can be a problem, especially if your feelings are pointing you in a different direction. Your self-discipline is admirable. Tonight: Happy at home.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You naturally offer good conversation, give sage advice and enjoy being around others. Today, your people skills will break down a barrier that has existed for too long. You might be surprised by the other party’s reaction. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Hang out.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH When it comes to shopping and spending, it would appear that you have on rose-colored glasses that prevent you from seeing the consequences of your actions. Something’s value might not be enough of a reason to purchase it. Tonight: In the

mood to indulge a little.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You have reason to be upbeat: The winds of good fortunate are blowing in your direction. A partner could be very challenging at this point, but you will choose to take his or her focus in a positive way and simply respond. How smart! Tonight: Beam in what you want.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might want to reassess your involvement with someone who is very difficult to access and who could have many problems. In this case, think long and hard before making a decision. Tonight: Visit with a dear friend or family member, even if it is just through Skype!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might see past the

obvious yet choose to say little. You could feel so challenged by a situation that you’ll think it is best not to reveal your vulnerability. Test out your thoughts on someone else before deciding on their merit. Tonight: Join your friends. Do not be alone.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Some of the tension you feel now could be the result of you trying to please someone who has no interest in being pleased right now. This person might prefer to be critical and difficult. Do not play into his or her games. Just relax, and avoid going overboard. Tonight: Up late.

WVU art museum breaks ground

By Mitchell Glazier CORRESPONDENT

A flourish of music provided by “The Pride of West Virginia,� the Mountaineer Marching Band, marked the start of Tuesday’s groundbreaking for the University’s first art museum. “Every institution in the Big 12 Conference has an art museum,� said WVU President James P. Clements. “We now belong.�

The museum, set to open in 2015, will house more than 3,000 pieces of art that will reside in storage rooms in the Wise Library until the museum’s opening.

The public will have ac-

cess to pieces by international greats such as Picasso and Rembrandt and historic collections from many periods and cultures. “Over 850 million people visit museums each year, which is far more than cumulative attendance at major league sporting events,� said Mandie Guggenbiller, a graduate art history student.

The museum will be located behind the Creative Arts Center on WVU’s Evansdale campus.

The museum’s estimated cost is $9.4 million.

Through the generous donations of benefactors and funding, the museum will host two galleries, totaling 5,400 square feet, col-

lection storage areas, research rooms and an outdoor sculpture garden. “The art museum is designed to stimulate the arts at WVU,� said Alison Deem, benefactress and distinguished friend of WVU. “This is exciting.� “The future of this museum rests firmly on our shoulders,� said Lyn Dotson, vice president of the WVU Foundation.

The ceremony’s message – the importance of preservation to promote innovation – was well-received by those in attendance.

Awestruck freshman Foundation Scholar Emma Van Der Aarde was excited to witness the event.

Campus MovieFest gets rolling on campus

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

Campus MovieFest, the world’s largest student film festival, launched on campus Tuesday afternoon, and the Vandalia Lounge was filled with students eager to take part in this unique opportunity, forming a total of 150 teams.

Students get the chance to become filmmakers by creating their own five-minute movie.

By signing up for CMF’s 13th annual world tour, students received everything they need to make a movie in seven days: a laptop loaded with movie-making software including Adobe Creative Cloud, a Panasonic HD video camera and training and support from the CMF team. “In our 12-year history, close to one million students have taken the opportunity to get everything they need to make their own five-minute short film in seven days

– all for free,� said Nishant Gogna, CMF promotions manager. “We have traveled to over 100 major college campuses across the country and over 14,000 students’ short films have been made in the process.�

This is the first time the group has visited WVU, and they’re excited to see what the students bring to the festival. “We are excited to be at West Virginia University for the first time ever to give WVU students an opportunity to share their story on the big screen,� Gogna said.

According to Gogna, 150 student teams have signed up to participate in CMF at WVU. Junior advertising student Joshua Davis picked up his equipment during the launch and was eager to get started. “My passion is filmmaking,� Davis said. “I finally have an opportunity to do something with it, not only on campus but with some professional equipment, as well.�

Davis is no stranger to the concept of filmmaking having made 11 of his own short films, but he said he is looking forward to using the equipment provided. “I’m familiar (with filmmaking), but I’ve yet to get to use a camera as nice as this,� he said.

With plans already in the works, Davis said he would get started on his film as soon as he left the launch. “I have all my cast, I have my script done, I’m working on storyboards today, and we’re going to start shooting tomorrow,� he said.

Although Brianna Pembroke, freshman pre-speech pathology and audiology student, isn’t quite as familiar with the filmmaking process, she said she was eager to get started. “It just seemed like a really fun idea that my friends and I could do,� Pembroke said. “I’ve helped people edit, but I’ve never shot my own movie

before.�

Gogna said WVU students have shown great interest in the festival thus far. “The students of WVU are brimming with enthusiasm and talent,� Gogna said. “The response we’ve seen for Campus MovieFest from the student body has been astounding. We’re super excited to see what WVU students can produce.�

After seven days, students will turn in their film and equipment, and their films will be judged by an anonymous panel of WVU students, faculty and staff. The top 16 films will be showcased in the Gluck Theatre Sept. 20 at 8 p.m., and the top movies will be recognized and invited to move on to CMF’s national event in Hollywood in June 2014.

“The showcase will be free and open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend,� Gogna said.

To learn more about the festival, visit http://www. campusmoviefest.com or visit the group’s WVU-specific Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/ events/231087023706521/.

Students queue up in the Vandalia Lounge to receive equipment for Campus MovieFest.

NO OFFENSE

AMIT BATRA SPORTS EDITOR

Defense leading the way for WVU In a complete turnaround from a season ago, the West Virginia defense proved Saturday night against Oklahoma that progress has been made.

In what was clearly the weakest side of the ball in 2012, the defense played hard and only gave up 16 points to the No. 16 Sooners. The Mountaineers have given up an average of 16.5 points in their first two games, a drastic improvement from a season ago.

In fact, Oklahoma had its fewest points at home since 1967 when it beat Kansas 14-10. Most would think that would be enough for a Dana Holgorsen offense to get the victory.

Wrong.

The offensive struggles have been peculiar so far in the season. Junior quarterback Paul Millard has shown promise but miscommunication with receivers and some erred passes really disrupted the flow against OU. Special teams play was also poor with muffed punts and undisciplined plays. The simple fact is that you cannot give a team as good as Oklahoma more opportunities to do well.

WVU had its chances for the victory, but key miscues on offense and special teams ended up leaving the Mountaineers with their first conference loss of the season.

Let’s not forget the amount of turnovers the defense was able to come up with, including two interceptions from redshirt senior Darwin Cook and sophomore safety Karl Joseph.

There were many things that could have been fixed in Norman, Okla., but the defense was not one of them. In reality, the defense kept West Virginia in the game. The offense, on the other hand, left many in doubt due to the scoring success in 2012.

Currently, West Virginia is No. 31 in the nation in points against with that 16.5-point mark. WVU, however, is No. 61 in passing yards (227.5), No. 64 in rushing yards (170.5) and No. 110 in points for with a 15.5 average.

Millard still only has one passing touchdown this season and the Mountaineers haven’t really exposed that well-known Air Raid offense that we’ve all been accustomed to with Holgorsen.

So while the defense has been promising – physically and mentally – the offense is the main cause for concern after two games.

Granted, there is a ton of inexperience and this is a new style of offense for many of the guys, but could the 2013 season be the exact opposite of 2012?

By the way these past two games have looked, this very well may be the case.

Defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has really made this defense look strong after a disastrous 2012 year. Personally, I’ve noticed the various packages the defense has shown throughout the first two games.

The players on defense have felt comfortable and continue to fight hard for results. Usually, holding a team such as Oklahoma to 16 points would give you the win, but the offensive struggles just keep making you question what exactly has gone wrong in the span of one year.

Questions lie ahead on all three sides of the ball, but in these two games, the defense has shown massive improvement and the tides have officially changed. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

WVU depth chart shaken up after offense struggles in 16-7 loss to Oklahoma on the road by greg madia multimedia editor

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has immense success offensively wherever he has been.

Whether at West Virginia or offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, Houston or Texas Tech, Holgorsen’s offenses never had a problem moving the football and getting into the end zone.

Through two games in 2013, West Virginia ranks last in the Big 12 Conference in scoring offense after putting up just seven points against Oklahoma Saturday evening.

“I accept full responsibility for seven points.

I don’t care who we are

playing, it’s embarrassing,” Holgorsen said. “I’ve got the utmost respect for Bob and Mike Stoops, but that being said, seven points is embarrassing, and we need to fix it.”

In preparation for Georgia State and beyond, changes were made.

Holgorsen released a new depth chart with four different offensive starters and reopened a three-man quarterback competition between junior Paul Millard, redshirt junior Clint Trickett and redshirt freshman Ford Childress.

After Millard lost communication with Holgorsen late in the game and failed to throw on target to his receivers, Holgorsen decided to allow Trickett and Childress back

into the mix. “(Millard’s) communication was good, with the exception of the fourth quarter, which was bad,” Holgorsen said. “I don’t know if it was the heat of the game, the pressure or the crowd, but the communication between me and him was not good in the fourth quarter.”

On the depth chart, Holgorsen has inserted three junior college receivers as starters in Ronald Carswell, Kevin White and Mario Alford to replace Ivan McCartney, KJ Myers and Daikiel Shorts.

“With those three guys, I’m not starting them because I hope they can make plays; I’ve seen them make plays,” Holgorsen said. “If those other guys want to

rep, they need to prove that they can make a play and provide a tremendous amount of effort.”

In addition, Pat Eger will step in for Tyler Orlosky at center. Eger is one of the few vocal leaders West Virginia has and provides a veteran presence on the offensive line.

By making these moves, Holgorsen is hoping to see what he’s used to doing Saturday afternoons: watching his offense pace up and down the field.

Only producing seven points in a game won’t cut it for Holgorsen, who has had 27 games as WVU head coach so far and had never scored fewer than 14 points in a single game.

“There’s potential on offense, and that word dis-

turbs me,” Holgorsen said.

“I don’t like it very much, but there is potential on offense. A lot of people talk about how talented we are, even guys on our team talk about how talented we are.

We need to prove that. We need to make some plays.”

Holgorsen said he is frustrated, but at the same time, remains optimistic his offense filled with young and inexperienced personnel can turn it around quickly.

“We have the potential to better than we were last year,” Holgorsen said.

“Does that mean we are better than last year or are going to be better than last year? No. It just means we have the potential to be.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Geno Smith up to the task in Week 1 DA by doug walp sports writer

After compiling one of the best quarterback careers in the history of West Virginia University, Geno Smith took the next step in his career Sunday, winning his first NFL start against the favored Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Smith found himself in a bleak situation late in the fourth quarter, trailing 1715 with only 34 seconds remaining.

At no point did Smith ever give up or concede. In fact, as soon as Rian Lindell’s 37-yard field goal split the uprights to regain a late lead for Tampa Bay, the camera cut to the former WVU star on the sideline, where Smith wasn’t pouting,or shaking his head at how the Jets’ defense had just allowed the Buccaneers to cover 61 yards in nine plays and just 1:40 seconds to go ahead.

Thirty-four seconds later, Smith had recognized and accomplished a dream of success at the professional level, leading his new NFL team to a win by engineering a game-winning drive in his first ever NFL start, with a little help from Tampa linebacker Lavonte David.

“I thought Geno did a really nice job,” said Jets head coach Rex Ryan. “They (Tampa Bay) did a good job coverage-wise back there.

Obviously they’ve got a lot of tremendous players in the back end, and they have a good pass rush. So (Smith) had to make some plays and quite honestly those plays definitely helped us win the game.”

Smith made a name for himself at WVU by becoming the most prolific passing quarterback in school history, racking up 11,662 passing yards and 98 touchdowns over four seasons in Morgantown.

It was actually Smith’s legs that helped the Jets pull out the win Sunday, as Smith recorded a team-high 47 rushing yards, including a 10-yard scramble with less than ten seconds left that eventually turned into a 25-yard gain after a latehit penalty by David.

After securing his first win as an NFL starter, Smith explained what was going through his mind during that final play.

“Just playing situational football,” Smith said. “We had enough time there where I could scramble and get out of bounds – at least get us past midfield and give us a chance to get a field goal off and it was bad on (David’s) part to cause that penalty but it was good for us, gave us some extra room and Nick Folk came up big.”

Smith finished the game completing 24 of his 38 passes for 256 yards with a touchdown and an interception, to go along with his rushing total.

Smith turned the ball over twice, including a lost fumble inside of his own 10yard line.

“We’re trying to eliminate mistakes, but he made a couple mistakes, there’s no doubt he did,” Ryan said. “The big one is when you’re in that heat of the battle we’ve got to have two hands on that football.”

Smith acknowledged those mistakes but also admired the resilience of his new organization and teammates.

“Keep competing, keep fighting,” Smith said. “(In) the second half, we did a great job of competing. We were moving the ball on offense and the defense did as they always do which was stop those guys and come home with the victory.”

Smith is now officially 1-0 as an NFL starter, but the challenge will get even

Szabat, West Virginia focus on goals for 2013 season by jon fehrens sports writer

Sophomore West Virginia University cross country runner Paige Szabat realizes the expectations for this year’s team.

With the deepest recruiting class in recent memory and the return of senior All-American Kaitlyn Gillespie, Szabat and the rest of her team knows the talent they possess.

But for the Wadsworth, Ohio native, huge expectations don’t necessarily

mean huge nerves.

At the Lehigh Invitational held in Bethlehem, Pa., Szabat crossed the finish line first for the Mountaineers with a time of 23:41.75, guiding her team to a No. 4 overall finish.

Finishing fourth in the first race of the season is usually seen as a big accomplishment, but for head coach Sean Cleary’s squad, a fourth-place finish in the beginning of the season doesn’t carry much weight.

Cleary wants Szabat and the rest of his team to focus on the goals at the end of the season.

“He always wants us to focus on long-term goals; he wants to know what is coming at the end of the season,” Szabat said. “Regionals and the NCAA Championships are the goal and as soon as this season ends it flows right into indoor track. It is a never-ending cycle.”

For Cleary, it is not the outcome of the race he is most interested in. In re-

ality, it is the experience his runners gain from racing that he sees most important. For Szabat, racing in the regular season is all about getting in mode for the major competitions at the end of the season.

“The races we do right now are just to get us in the mode of racing. It helps us get in the atmosphere of racing and get used to running in large packs. The main thing about racing now is just to get us prepared.”

Szabat stressed the im-

portance of taking the entire season to prepare for the NCAA races at the end of the year, but also set aside a significant amount of time to get to know the new faces on her team – a challenge in itself as Cleary brought in the deepest recruiting class in recent memory.

“We did have a very large incoming freshman class this year. It didn’t take long though to come together as a team,” Szabat said. “There is a lot of diversity from this team. We

have some girls from Canada and Australia. Getting to know them has made this team stronger which will translate into stronger results.”

With an already closely bonded team and strong showings from young runners, it may be a year for unprecedented success.

The cross country team will return to action for the PSU Spiked Shoe Invitational held at Penn State Friday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly talks with running back LeSean McCoy along the sidelines during the second half of an NFL game with the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md.

Kelly wants eager Eagles to be even faster for Week 2 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — That jaw-dropping, eyepopping frenetic pace the Philadelphia Eagles showed in Chip Kelly’s debut can be even faster.

No, really.

Kelly’s hurry-up offense sparkled in his NFL debut as the Eagles opened the season with a 33-27 win over the defending NFC East-champion Washington Redskins on Monday night.

Michael Vick and Co. executed Kelly’s don’tstop-for-a-breath offense with precision and efficiency, running 53 plays in the first half and racking up 443 total yards. While the rest of the league and a national television audience watched in awe the way the Eagles moved at lightning speed, Kelly sees room for improvement.

“I felt like it was slow, to be honest with you,” Kelly said Tuesday. “I’m not joking. We’ve got to do a better job. We left the ball on the ground too much.

We didn’t get the ball to the officials. We could have sped things up from a process between plays.

That’s something we need to continue to work on.”

It looked like Kelly was still coaching Oregon against Pac-10 opponents in the first half. The Eagles controlled the ball 20:20 and averaged 2.6 plays per minute. They outgained RG3 and the Redskins 322-75, had a 21-3 edge in first downs and led 26-7.

Still, it was the first real test for Philadelphia under Kelly. There’s still a learning process and players should get more familiar with the way he wants

the offense to move as they gain experience in it.

“I saw a team play their first game,” Kelly said. “I was pleased, but we still have got a lot of work to do. There’s so many things we can continue to work on.”

That should be bad news for other teams.

People wondered for eight months how Kelly would fare at the pro level after having tremendous success at Oregon.

When he finally unveiled his high-octane philosophy, Kelly showed off the play designs that earned him a reputation for being an offensive innovator.

The Eagles used numerous formations in Kelly’s read-zone attack, including some that surely have defensive coordina-

tors baffled. Kelly lined up both of his offensive tackles wide for one play and put them on the same side for another. It’s not just the plays that are unique, but also the signals for some of them.

Kelly has coaches putting up flash cards to relay signs to the offense.

One placard has a picture of the Phillie Phanatic and another has Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky character.

“We don’t always run the same play. We don’t always have the same options. I think that’s what makes the defense have to be very honest in terms of how they play,” Kelly said.

“If there’s always one way to do it, there’s always going to be one way to defend it.

“We have a wide variety in terms of how we can

do it.”

Vick was outstanding, throwing for 203 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 54 yards and another score. LeSean McCoy had 184 of the team’s 263 yards rushing along with one TD. DeSean Jackson caught seven passes for 104 yards and one touchdown.

“They were having a hard time lining up,” McCoy said of the Redskins defense. “You can definitely know when a defense is tired, as they’re going down you’re hiking the ball. The tempo really worked. I don’t think anyone has seen it that fast.”

With a big lead, Kelly slowed things down considerably in the second half to run time off the clock. The Redskins rallied and would’ve had a

chance to win it at the end if they had recovered an onside kick.

“As I get a better feel for our guys, they get a better feel for us, it’s something that you’re always going to continue to work on,” Kelly said of clock management. “Four-minute offense, so to speak, is just as important as the twominute offense.”

NOTES: CB Bradley Fletcher sustained a concussion vs. the Redskins.

His status for Sunday’s game against San Diego (0-1) is uncertain.

The Eagles signed CB Brandon Hughes to fill out their 53-man roster.

Hughes was released Saturday so his contract for this season isn’t guaranteed. ... The Eagles won their home opener last year, 24-23 over Baltimore.

Schaub, Texans rally from 21 down to beat Chargers

AP

Quarterback Matt Schaub eludes a defender during the Texans’ come-from-behind victory over the Chargers on Monday Night Football.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Matt Schaub could feel the Texans’ comeback coming on in the third quarter. Andre Johnson had absolutely no doubt Houston would rally from three touchdowns down to win its season opener.

Many San Diego Chargers fans must have felt exactly the same way.

A team that blew five halftime leads last season did it again Monday night in Houston’s 31-28 win over San Diego. While the Texans got an early character-building test in a season with Super Bowl aspirations, the Chargers were reminded they can’t ever let up if they hope to shake their underachieving reputations.

“We knew we could do it,” said Houston linebacker Brian Cushing, who returned an interception for his first career touchdown to tie it with 9:30 to play. “We felt the momentum. We had no business winning the game ... (but) we felt like we could do it the whole time. We never got down on ourselves. We were just able to make that comeback.”

Randy Bullock kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired after Schaub engineered a late drive for the Texans. Their cool under pressure erased a brilliant start for the Chargers under new coach Mike McCoy, the offensive guru hired to revitalize a stagnating franchise.

Five reasons why Houston is rolling and San Diego is reeling after just one week of play: QUICK START STALLS: The Chargers led 7-0 just 15 seconds into McCoy’s first game. Schaub’s first pass was tipped and intercepted

by Cam Thomas, and Philip Rivers threw a 14-yard TD pass to Ryan Mathews on San Diego’s first snap for the fastest offensive touchdown in team history.

San Diego gained momentum from that lucky burst, going up 21-7 at halftime and taking a 28-7 lead with an 80-yard drive right after the break. Rivers already had his first four-TD passing game since November 2011.

And then the Chargers

grinded to an utter halt, managing just 10 more yards all night. San Diego didn’t suddenly forget how to play, but Houston’s cranked-up defense took charge while the Chargers curiously stayed away from the run.

“You lose this way, and it stings a little more,” Rivers said. “It’s disappointing we didn’t finish the game, because we had control.

You’ve got to play all four quarters.”

SECOND-HALF SURGE: The Texans’ strong contingent of red-jerseyed fans behind their bench celebrated wildly, but the players’ excitement was tinged with the knowledge they shouldn’t have waited so long to get going.

Houston didn’t look sharp on either side of the ball in the first half despite outgaining the Chargers 220-173. The Texans repeatedly failed to finish drives, took four penalties for 46 yards, and allowed San Diego to convert on five of its eight third downs.

The Texans recovered in plenty of time, but other opponents might not be so forgiving.

“I expected us to be in a dogfight,” Houston coach Gary Kubiak said. “I’m disappointed with the way we played early, but we did not give up. ... We were mature enough to hang in there and get the win, so we have to be mature enough to know that we didn’t play very well.”

breatheWELL

SCHAUB SHAKES IT OFF: Schaub wasn’t rattled by the Texans’ rough start, answering critics who question his big-game poise with another gritty effort.

The 11th-year pro finished 34 of 45 for 346 yards, getting sacked twice. He threw all three of his touchdown passes to tight ends Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham, while hooking up with favorite target Johnson for 12 catches and 146 yards.

“Once you put a score on the board, then another, and the defense gets a stop, the big turnover, it just builds,” Schaub said.

“Momentum keeps building, and you can feel that energy, and it’s contagious.”
