City looks to end Mon Blvd. parkingBy CArlEE lAmmErS

Concerns raised follow-ing a September multi-ve-hicle accident may force some Morgantown drivers to find a new parking spot.
Officials from the Divi-sion of Highways and the city of Morgantown are working to eliminate park-ing along Monongahela Boulevard – specifically the shoulder regions between
the Creative Arts Center and the Coliseum.
DOH spokeswoman Carrie Bly said city offi-cials have raised concerns in years past and now are seeking to move forward.
“There’s been an on-going conversation with the city of Morgantown. I think back in 2009 the city expressed to us that they would like some restric-tions there,” she said. “The city wants to finally make
the commitment. They feel that there are safety con-cerns to have people park-ing there along both sides of the road.”
West Virginia University engineering professor Roy Nutter raised the issue at a January 2011 Faculty Sen-ate meeting.
Nutter said the situation involves students parking along the shoulder and then crossing traffic. Nut-ter described it as a “disas-
ter in waiting.” “We’re just waiting for a
death along there,” Nutter said.
The issue was resurfaced after a Sept. 21 accident in which a 17-year-old driver rolled her vehicle into six cars parked along the road.
“The safety concerns were there way before this accident happened,” Bly said. “But that accident is a prime example of how keeping people off of the
side of the road is a safety concern. If they’re not there, then they can’t be hit.”
According to Bly, if ap-proved by Commissioner of Highways Paul Mattox, “no parking” signs would eliminate parking along the shoulder altogether – including game days.
“It hasn’t been approved yet, but we don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be approved,” she said. “If and
when the commissioner gets the order the signs would go up.”
The signs will be placed near the intersection with Patteson Drive and the PRT overpass, according to Bly.
Once the signs are im-plemented, violators will be ticketed or towed.

Rivalries flared in the dramatic con-clusion of the annual Mini World Cup Sunday.
Hosted by the West Virginia University International Student Organization, the Mini World Cup included 16 teams of stu-dents from around the globe competing in weekly matches on the Mountainlair green.
The African Mountaineers took on Team Iran in the finals.
After a scoreless two halves, Team Iran won in a penalty shootout, marking their first championship victory in five years of competing.
Team Iran will have their name embla-zoned on the miniature World Cup trophy and is receiving a free dinner at Sargasso restaurant.
“We played with our brains and not our bodies,” said Safa Tahmasebi, a dentistry student who played for Team Iran. “It’s a good feeling.”
But for this team, soccer is more than just a game.
“It’s a patriotic sport for us,” Tahmasebi said. “It’s our national sport, and we enjoy it. It brings people together.”
Formed by students in the Iranian Stu-dent Association, Team Iran has com-peted in the Mini World Cup since the cup’s inception.
According to Shahab Mohaghegh, a petroleum engineering professor at WVU and a member of Team Iran, soccer is a

People from around the world gath-ered Friday at Hazel Ruby McQuain Riv-erfront Park for the International Festival, an annual fair featuring representatives from West Virginia University and Mor-gantown’s diverse communities.
Live music, homemade cuisine and tra-ditional artwork from around the world turned the riverside park into a bustling hub of multiculturalism.
“It’s very beautiful,” said Huda Almo-gren, a Saudi student working on her mas-ter’s in linguistics. “We want to show peo-ple our culture, and everyone is sharing theirs. People have been so friendly.”
Almogren was helping host a booth providing Arabic coffee, traditional mu-sic and information about her homeland.
“We want to show people our culture, from outside of Saudi Arabia. This is the best place,” she said.

More than 60,000 fans filled Milan Puskar Stadium to take part in the action between two top 15 teams, but few stayed to watch the final seconds tick off the clock.
No. 25 West Virginia University’s offense didn’t cross midfield until partway through the third quarter as No. 4 Kansas State trounced the Mountaineers 55-14 Saturday night.
The Wildcats scored on each of their first eight offensive possessions, including a stretch of seven consecutive drives resulting in a touchdown.
“We lost to a very good football team to-night. You have to give Kansas State a lot of credit. They were mistake-free on all sides of the ball,” said WVU head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. “There are no excuses, and it starts with me.”
The Mountaineers, who surrendered six passing touchdowns to Texas Tech quarter-back Seth Doege last Saturday, allowed three passing touchdowns and four rushing scores to Wildcat senior quarterback Collin Klein.
West Virginia’s defense has now allowed at least 45 points in four straight games.

For almost two de-cades, the International Festival was held in the Mountainlair Ballroom. According to Kim Harrison, assistant director of Student Organizations, this year WVU teamed up with the city of Morgantown to cre-ate a more inclusive event.
“It was something the community wanted to par-
ticipate in, and we cre-ated some great partner-ships,” she said. “This year, we tried to have more of a community feel and invite community members to participate.”
Representatives from In-dia, Indonesia, Iran and China participated in the festival, among others.
Members from WVU’s Tae Kwon Do martial arts school gave a board-breaking demonstration, and members from the
Morgantown High school marching band played for attendees.
Liz Finklea, representing WVU’s chapter of Women Across Cultures, helped host a booth at the event.
“We’ve gotten to the point where we can’t fit it in the Ballrooms anymore,” she said. “It was nice to get the community involved and have more than just a closed group of people here.”
Finklea’s organization provides support for the spouses of international students or professors. Some spouses don’t have visas for work or school.
“We give women a place to gather and socialize,
rather than sitting around the house all day,” she said. “It’s an interesting mix of nationalities and ages.”
Finklea has noticed a uniting trend among peo-ple in her organization and the festival – cuisine.
“We all love food, and we all love to cook,” she said.
“This is the first time we’ve done this (at the park), and it’s been nice,” she said.
The International Festi-val concludes WVU’s Diver-sity Week, a string of events celebrating WVU’s unique community and promoting acceptance, integrity and respect.

“(It’s) unacceptable … (I’ve) Got to do a better job as a coach. We have to do a better job as a team,” said West Virginia co-defensive coordinator Joe DeForest. “It’s part of coaching. You have to make sure they’re in the right place at the right time … Right now we’re not getting the job done.”
The defense played with-out starting cornerback Br-odrick Jenkins due to in-jury and used freshmen in replacement roles.
DeForest, though, feels all the mistakes made today and in recent games can be fixed.
“Everything is correct-able,” he said. “They have to buy in. I have to do a bet-ter job as a coach … I don’t want to blame it on the kids. Blame it on me. I’ll take the hit.”
Kansas State took advan-tage of the depleted Moun-taineer defense and con-trolled time of possession throughout the game. In fact, WVU senior quarter-back Geno Smith only had 13 pass attempts at the half – a season low.
“We couldn’t get in a rhythm. I think we ran 14 plays in the first half and only had the ball three times,” Holgorsen said. “So, it’s hard to get in a rhythm
when you do that.”The only bright spot dur-
ing the night was a kick-off return for a touchdown by West Virginia’s Tavon Austin.
The score cut the Wildcat lead to 24-7 just before the half, but the Mountaineers wouldn’t get any closer.
Austin, though, feels the offense is just as responsi-ble for the loss as the strug-gling defense.
“We need to start playing with a little more heart,” he said. “It goes both ways. At the same time we’re (the of-fense) not putting up points either. I wouldn’t throw the defense under the bus at all.”
The Mountaineers’ se-nior quarterback and Heis-man candidate Smith had his worst outing of the sea-son, finishing 21-32 for 143 yards and one touch-down to go along with two interceptions.
”We’ve reached our low. This is about as low as it gets. I’ve never had to deal with adversity of this mag-nitude,” Smith said.
“I have to do a better job as a leader. As a man, I have to look at myself in the mir-ror and figure out ways to get better.”
The Mountaineers will look for solutions dur-ing their bye week this weekend.

staple of Iranian culture.“Soccer essentially is the
national game,” he said. “Soccer is very, very strong with these students.”
Mohaghegh said Team Iran transformed from ca-sual players into organized tournament finalists.
“We don’t practice offi-cially, but we get together once or twice a week and play ‘pick-up,’” he said. “This
was the most organized we’ve ever been. Some of these teams are really good, and so these guys did a re-ally good job.”
Globally, soccer is the most-played (and spec-tated) sport. The FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa was watched by more than 3.2 billion people – 46.4 percent of the world’s population.
“It’s the game of the world,” Mohaghegh said. “I think it’s a really nice thing for the International Stu-dent Organization to do this.
The fact they recognize this is appreciated by the entire international community here.
“It shows that WVU cares about diversity and what the international community cares about: soccer.”
Ehsan Jafari, an indus-trial engineering student from Iran, has competed in the Mini World Cup for four years. For him, it’s not about winning or losing.
“We are all friends through the Iranian Stu-dent Association,” he said.
“It’s good that we got to do this, because during the school year we are all busy studying.”
Mohaghegh agreed with Jafari.
“It is a great to be a part of this, and we very much ap-preciate it,” he said.
The Mini World Cup will be held again next fall. To learn more about the Inter-national Student Organiza-tion at WVU, check out the group’s Facebook page.

aPTwo juvenile Great Gray owls are shown on a tree branch in Yosemite national Park.
yoSEMITE naTIonaL PaRK, Calif. (aP) — In the bird world, they make en-dangered condors seem al-most commonplace.
The unique Great Gray Owls of Yosemite, left to evolve after glacial ice sepa-rated them from their plen-tiful Canadian brethren 30 millennia ago, are both a mystery and concern to the scientists charged with pro-tecting them.
With fewer than 200 in ex-istence in this small pocket of the Sierra Nevada, the slight-est disturbances by humans can drive the extremely shy birds from their nests, dis-rupting sporadic mating cy-cles that ebb and flow annu-ally depending upon food
availability.So this summer, research-
ers found a way to aban-don their traditional heavy-handed trapping, banding and the blasting of owl calls in favor of the kind of dis-crete, sophisticated technol-ogy used by spies and foren-sic scientists.
They hope to lessen hu-man influence on this sub-species of owls prized for the potential insights their sur-vival offers into habitat-spe-cific evolution.
“Even if it takes only 15 minutes to trap a bird, it’s traumatic for them in the long term,” said Joe Medley, a PhD candidate in ecology at UC Davis who perfected computer voice recognition
software to track the larg-est of North America’s owls. “With a population this small, we want to err on the side of caution in terms of the methods we use to get data.”
Medley placed 40 data-compression digital audio recorders around the mid-elevation meadows typically favored by the owl known as Strix nebulosa Yosemiten-sis, hoping to identify them by their mating, feeding and territorial calls.
He ended up with 50 tera-bytes of owl calls mixed with airplanes flying over-head, frogs croaking, coy-otes yipping, bears growl-ing and even the occasional crunch of fangs on pricy mi-crophones – so much data
it would have taken seven years to play back.
He then designed algo-rithms for an existing com-puter program that would search for the specific fre-quency and time inter-vals of the Great Gray Owls’ low-pitched hoot “whooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.” The program could discern males and fe-males from juveniles, and even identify nesting females calling for food to help de-termine reproduction suc-cess. The results are still be-ing analyzed.
“It’s capable of search-ing a week’s worth of data in an hour. What I was left with was owls and a host of other things that fell in the same bandwidth,” Medley said.
Most of the world’s Great Gray Owls make their homes in northern hemisphere bo-real forests, though a few live as far south as Oregon and Idaho. The giants with pierc-ing yellow eyes and 5-foot wingspans have adapted so well to snow that they can dive face-first through up to a foot of it to catch the voles they hear creeping under-neath. Their dish-shaped faces work to amplify sound.
During the last ice age 30,000 years ago, a small population in and around what would become the gla-cially carved landscape of Yosemite was cut off from the others to evolve on their own in a warmer, less snowy climate.
Those owls, now num-bering just a couple of hun-dred, are on California’s en-dangered species list. The giant condors, once nearly extinct, number around 400 in California and the South-west, and are on the federal endangered list.
“These (owls) exist no-where else in the world, and where they do occur is a pretty amazing loca-tion,” said Joshua Hull, a re-searcher with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ad-junct professor at the Uni-versity of California, Davis. “These are going in a dif-ferent evolutionary direc-tion than the others, and we don’t know where that is right now.”

The West Virginia men’s basketball team took the court in Friday night’s Gold and Blue Debut at the Coliseum for the first time since its loss to Gonzaga in the NCAA tournament.
“I think we’re to the point where these guys un-derstand what it means to run out here with West Vir-ginia across their chest,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggnis. “They know they’re not just rep-resenting themselves and their families anymore, they’re not just represent-ing this University any-more – they’re represent-ing the people of this great state.”
In the Gold team’s 94-80 victory, the Mountain-eers put on an offensive display they struggled to show at times throughout last season.
Senior forward Deniz Kilicli led the way for the Gold team, scoring a game-high 26 points, while sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds added 23 of his own.
The offensive showcase was a big difference from last season, and Huggins said it just comes from an off-season’s worth of ex-perience from the young Mountaineer team.
“Believe it or not, we look really good running offense when nobody’s guarding us. Our execu-tion is pretty good, we know what we’re doing,” Huggins said. “We weren’t any good at running it with no defense last year. No-body knew what they were doing.”
A big part of West Vir-ginia’s success offensively came from the strong play of its guards.
With Hinds and soph-omores Juwan Staten and
Gary Browne, the Moun-taineers have three point guards with experience running an offense on this year’s team, and Huggins is expecting them to all play big roles this season. And they didn’t disappoint in Friday’s scrimmage.
Hinds added seven re-bounds and three assists to go along with his 23 points, and Browne scored 11 points with eight assists.
Staten, who will be eli-gible to play this season af-ter sitting out last year due to NCAA transfer rules, scored 14 points and had eight assists, but turned over the ball just once.
“It’s going to be real good (with three point guards). We’re all really comfortable whenever we have the ball in our hands,” Hinds said. “Whoever gets it, we’ll be able to push it up the court and make things happen. It’s going to be real exciting.”
Following the scrim-mage, Huggins was pleased with the play of all of his guards, which in-cludes freshmen Eron Har-ris and Terry Henderson, who combined to score 29 points for the Blue team.
“I like our guards. I think our guards have a chance to be pretty good,” Hug-gins said. “When you think about how three of those guys have three years left and two of those guys have four years left, they can do some good things.”
Senior forward Matt
Humphrey and junior big man Aaric Murray also made their debut Friday night.
Although he scored 12 points and grabbed 12 re-bounds, Murray strug-gled Friday night as the La Salle transfer also commit-ted eight fouls to go along with six turnovers.
“Aaric Murray’s trying to find his way,” Huggins said. “Aaric’s problem, quite honestly, is that he broke his hand (last year), so he’s more like Matt (Humphrey) than he is like (Staten).
“Aaric (Murray) didn’t shoot it well today, but Aar-ic’s very capable of shoot-ing it, which stretches the defense a little bit.”
After struggling shoot-ing the ball from the out-side last year, West Virginia looked improved Friday night. The Mountaineers made 12 shots from the three-point range, includ-ing a game-best three from Hinds.
“I was happy for Jabarie (Hinds). He’s a guy who was in the gym; he was in the gym all summer. He made shots, and he can manufacture some shots,” Huggins said.
The Mountaineers open their season Nov. 6 with an exhibition against Glen-ville State before a Nov. 12 matchup in Spokane, Wash., against Gonzaga.
WvU falls to No. 3 akron, 2-1
by DoUg Walpsports writer
The West Virginia men’s soccer team lost its first Mid-American Conference match in school history Sat-urday night, as the team fell to No. 3 Akron 2-1 at First Energy Stadium in Akron, Ohio.
Akron midfielders Re-inaldo Brenes and Scott Caldwell scored a goal each for the Zips, who de-feated the Mountaineers in a matchup of the MAC’s only two unbeaten teams in conference play.
In fact, the Zips haven’t dropped a single match to an MAC opponent in their last 43 conference appearances.
Freshman forward Majed Osman scored West Virgin-ia’s only goal in the 52nd minute, cutting the deficit in half at the time, but the Mountaineers weren’t ever able to get an equalizer. Os-man’s goal was the third of the year for the freshman, who is now tied with se-niors Uwem Etuk and Eric Schoenle with the team points lead with 10. It was also the first goal the Zips have allowed in conference play or on their home pitch the entire year.
“We weren’t tentative at all. I thought our game plan was excellent. We played really, really well tonight.
We just gave up two bad goals,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeB-lanc. “They’ve never seen anyone put their team un-der the amount of pressure that we put them on offen-sively and defensively.”
Senior forward Peabo Doue and sophomore Andy Bevin also both had qual-ity chances to score. But Doue’s shot missed just wide of the post, and Bev-in’s shots were both han-dled well by Akron goal-keeper David Meves. Senior forward Shadow Sebele was also unable to capitalize on a scoring chance, which came on a free kick that just missed finding the back of the net.
“We weren’t tentative at all. I thought our game plan was excellent. We played really, really well to-night, we just gave up two bad goals,” LeBlanc said. “They’ve never seen any-one put their team under the amount of pressure that we put them on offensively and defensively.”
The Mountaineers’ (8-4-2, 3-1-1 MAC) first confer-ence loss of the year puts them in a three-way tie in the loss column in the MAC, with Northern Illi-nois (2-1-1 MAC) and West-ern Michigan (1-1-1 MAC). And twhe Zips (5-0 MAC) now control their own des-tiny in regard to sealing the
MAC regular season crown and home pitch advantage for the semi-final and final rounds of the conference tournament.
The Mountaineers, on the other hand, would have to win out in the remain-der of their in-conference matches, and also hope Ak-ron drops both of their two remaining MAC games to supplant first-place Zips.
But even though the Mountaineers weren’t able to leave Akron with the all-important result, it was the third time this season West Virginia was able to play a top-20 team to within a sin-gle goal.
The Mountaineers were ranked No. 38 in RPI head-ing into the Akron match, so they’ll likely have dropped at least a couple of spots even though they fell to the No. 3 team in the nation.
And with only 48 to-tal spots available in the Division-I NCAA tourna-ment, West Virginia will likely have to remain per-fect the rest of the season in order to procure a tour-nament bid from the selec-tion committee.
West Virginia’s next match comes on the road again when the Mountain-eers match up against MAC opponent Northern Illinois Saturday at 2 p.m.

President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will face off at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida tonight for the third and final pres-idential debate of the elec-tion season. This debate, which will be moderated by CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Bob Scheiffer, will fo-cus exclusively on foreign policy.
Foreign policy has taken a back seat to domestic is-sues, most significantly the economy, through much of the campaign. This is illus-trated by the fact the can-
didates only had to answer one question relating to for-eign policy through the first two debates. The emphasis on domestic issues is un-derstandable considering the continually struggling economy. But the seem-ing neglect of foreign pol-icy throughout much of the campaign season is prob-lematic, and it is definitely a positive development that this issue will be discussed at length tonight.
After all, the president is also the commander in chief of our armed forces. Moreover, the United States
has been engaged in a num-ber of costly military en-deavors all around the globe for more than a de-cade. In addition to the di-sastrous war in Iraq, the U.S. continues to fight the lon-gest war in its history in Af-ghanistan – a war that has cost thousands of innocent lives and hundreds of bil-lions of dollars.
More recently, the U.S. was part of the NATO coali-tion that toppled Moammar Gadhafi’s government in Libya. The recent instabil-ity there, including the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Con-
sulate in Benghazi, will cer-tainly be discussed tonight.
Other significant top-ics that will likely be ad-dressed are the escalating Syrian civil war, Iran’s nu-clear ambitions, the con-tainment of North Korea, China’s role on the world stage and the special U.S. relationship with Israel.
As we’ve seen through-out the past decade, our foreign policy can have tre-mendous implications for all Americans, from the economic costs of expen-sive military engagements to the human cost of dead
servicemen and women. With only two weeks un-
til Election Day, most of us have already decided who we are voting for. But if you haven’t yet considered the two candidates’ differing approaches to foreign pol-icy, be sure to tune in to-night and give these issues significant thought.
The debate will begin at 9 p.m. tonight and will air on all the major net-works. It will also be live streamed by YouTube and ABC News.
Don’t forget about foreign policy

My mom grew up in ru-ral Georgia during the ’60s and ever since I was young, I remember her telling me a story about a man who would come to different small towns in her region with a herd of goats. People would flock to come see the goats and feed them dollar bills. I never knew whether or not I should be-lieve my mom’s odd tale.
A couple of weeks ago, however, my grandmother posted a picture on Face-book of this particular “Goatman.” He wore over-alls, had a long ZZ Top beard and was seated on a shanty carriage that was pulled by, no kidding, a herd of goats. I was amazed
the story my mom told me all those years was actu-ally true.
The thing about some stories, especially those told by older generations, is we have no way of know-ing if they’re true. That in-cludes fishing tales and wild capers; I’m sure ev-ery family and friend group has its own lore and leg-ends and myths. They are anecdotes that get passed down and add mysterious culture to our lives.
Our lives are being ar-chived in an unprece-dented way. Digital tech-nology and our own willingness to pursue ven-tures on the Internet and in social networking have allowed the World Wide Web to scrapbook our ex-istences in sometimes-in-erasable methods. The words we type, the pictures we take, and the words and
pictures of others make it onto the Internet for any-one to see. We don’t keep track of it, at least not very well. Some of us ex-punge our digital record the best we can, but that’s if we have control and if we remember.
We should take more notice of our digital pres-ence and the things we put on the web. This isn’t a call to just cease post-ing drunken photos on In-stagram. It’s an appeal to reflect and consider what the increasingly digital ar-chiving of our lives is do-ing to us now and will do to us in the future to come. To our reputation and our memories.
I think about things like the events that occurred on WVU’s campus after the win over Texas. There is forever a record of the mis-chievous fires and run-ins
with the police that night in words and pictures and tweets.
I think about politi-cal rants concerning pro-spective candidates in the election and the malicious statements folks have been making about them and each other.
I think about the way Facebook photo albums chronicle relationships. Timelines of pictures and memories instilled for good, because it takes too long – and seems harsh – to delete them. And it would take too long to build up your friends list again.
It’s not just the obvi-ously terrible things be-ing recorded. The other night, in a fit of reminis-cence, I got to scanning through old Xanga sites. I’m not sure if everyone remembers Xanga, but it was a blog-social net-
work combo that predated what we know now. It was lame, but it was what I had in late middle school and early high school. I won’t bore you with recounts of my memory rehashing, but it was strange and a little eerie to be able to tap into and dwell with a primary resource of my life so long ago.
I’ve heard older genera-tions mock the way we put everything out there on the Internet. For the most part, I’ve rejected the scorn as senility. Upon further ru-mination, though, it makes me want to scribble my thoughts on a piece of pa-per and place it in a box, rather than right out on the Web for everyone to see.
Soon every story we tell will be able to be fact checked because it will be right there online. Folks will ask for iPhone pic-
tures of the fish we caught. Our semi-regrettable ac-tions will be concrete too; the drunken nights, the va-cations with exes, the van-dalism and rabble-rous-ing. It’s not that the truth is such a terrible thing to be available, just that the way we tell it might be bet-ter (more real) than the In-ternet portrays. And there are things we will want to forget.
Whether we type or post, let us remember our words and behaviors could be there for a while, for oth-ers to dissect, and possibly for ourselves to scrutinize.
Let us be better stew-ards of our digital lives, not treating the Internet as a free-for-all, no-stakes playground, but a piece of the past that will con-tinue in the present and will possibly be there in the future.

As you may know by now, cyberbullying has led to another teen suicide. Amanda Todd was found dead in her home just a few days ago.
The 15-year-old Cana-dian was targeted through social media with topless photographs of her being posted on Facebook, ac-
cording to CNN.Anxiety and depres-
sion became issues for the teen soon after. Her fam-ily relocated for a fresh start. Amanda eventually changed schools, but the photographs still haunted her and reappeared online.
She began drinking and taking drugs. As her anxi-ety worsened, she started cutting herself to cope through her pain.
Todd had attempted suicide before by drinking bleach.
She also made a Youtube video one month before her suicide. She told her story through flashcards.
While her death is under further investigation, cy-berbullying is still playing a role in the lives of count-less other children.
According to Cyberbul-lying.org, 1 out of 3 young people receive death threats online. About half of all young internet us-ers have been victims of cyber bullying, and 10 to 20 percent experience it
regularly.The even scarier part is
that only 1 out of every 10 children tell their parents about being bullied online.
If you want to make sure the youngsters you know are in the safe, here are some things the website says you should do:
—Talk to children about cyberbullying, and let them know about the dan-gers it can lead to.
—Make sure children know they should talk to an adult if they are being
cyberbullied.—Explain to them that
they should never share anything online or over their phone they wouldn’t want made public.
—Keep the computer in a family space and not someplace a teen could be alone with it.
—Make sure you regu-larly access their accounts and monitor their technol-ogy usage.
You can read more about cyberbullying at Cyberbul-lying.org.
For Todd’s case, how-ever, details as to how she committed suicide aren’t being released yet.
The most important thing we can take from Todd’s case is that the young people we know don’t have to share her fate. Make sure you’re in-volved in what your young-sters are doing online, and make sure they can talk to you about what’s going on. This is a horrible situ-ation that should never be repeated.

BORN TODAY This year you might feel pushed to the limit at times. Know that you can overcome any challenge, as long as you use others as resources and for brainstorming. Curb excessive spending, and find a less costly path to the same end. If you are single, you meet people with ease, even at home and in odd circumstances.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH If you are looking for a key associate to agree with you, look elsewhere. You will be dealing with this associate in the next month. The unexpected marks your actions and encourages a different avenue of thought. Look at the big picture now. Tonight: Find your friends.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Others make demands, and you pro-duce results. There is someone you cannot please, no matter what you do. Today emphasizes that fact. You could take this person’s behavior personally or slowly pull back and see what is ailing him or her. A loved one puts in his or her two cents. To-night: Out and about.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Reach out for others’ opinions. Someone might have off-the-wall ideas, but do not shut them down. This person’s provocative thinking allows you to break past current restrictions. A friend surprises you with an unexpected visit. Tonight: Let your mind wander.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Deal with an irritable boss or a part-ner who might seem somewhat un-
stable. Emphasize your libido’s en-ergy. Some of you might decide to indulge a romantic fantasy rather than deal with what seems impos-sible. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Know when it’s time to loosen the reins and allow others to take a more dominant role. Certainly, you don’t always have the answers. An expert on the topic of the day lets you know that fact unintentionally. Maintain tight communication with a family member. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Your smooth style makes a differ-ence to those who are around you on a regular basis. They count on your accuracy and precision. Nev-ertheless, a key person in your life jolts you once more by doing the unexpected. Your reaction could be quite dynamic. Tonight: Your normal routine.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You have a lot on your plate, and you feel strapped in some manner. Count on the unexpected to occur; you might start liking these sur-prising twists in your life. Laughter marks a special relationship, though the other party could be quite seri-ous at this point. Tonight: Forget that it’s Monday.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You might find that your mood, like a current, is constantly changing. The Sun moves into your sign today, which increases your energy. You are full of vigor in the evening, and for many of you, optimism returns. Try to avoid a potential spending spree.
Tonight: Celebrate good times!
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Zero in on necessities. Re-alize when you have had enough and also when you would like to be more frivolous. Part of you allows greater give-and-take with others. You like someone’s unpredictability and might indulge in the same way. Tonight: Where your friends are.
C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Be aware of what is happen-ing within a friendship. You might need to refresh your perspective and move through some preconceived and possibly rigid thinking. A meet-ing proves to be important. In fact, you will use this type of get-together more often in the near future. To-night: Buy that item you have been eyeing.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You feel as if you have a tiger by the tail. Use your high en-ergy and growing self-confidence to forge ahead in a particular area of your life. A friend might have strong sentiments about what you are do-ing. Listening to this person does not mean that you are agreeing. Tonight: Do your thing.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Maintain a low profile, and listen to what is being said without butting in. Your observations could draw some very steady and important in-sights. You could be unpredictable, for better or worse, with your funds. Be aware of this trait. Tonight: Do something just for you. BORN TODAY Actor Jeff Goldblum (1952), musician Zachary Hanson (1985), composer Franz Liszt (1811)

‘We’re GoInG to FIX tHIs’Time is only answer for
WVUFrom inside the stadium
you could see taillights head-ing into the dark, listless Mor-gantown night as early as the second quarter.
By the end of the third quarter, the colors of the fans who remained in the stadium were split evenly between the purple of Kansas State and the gold and blue of West Virginia.
When the clock finally rested on all zeroes, with the scoreboard showing a com-manding 55-14 victory for the visiting Wildcats, the scene was dominated by Kansas State supporters cheering for the team as it headed into the locker room – conquering victors who entered what was supposed to be a hostile envi-ronment and turned it into a playground in front of a na-tional audience.
Kansas State’s senior quar-terback Collin Klein – the new favorite to win the Heisman Trophy – wasn’t perfect, but he should have been; the only blemishes on his career night that included 424 total yards and seven total touchdowns were two incomplete passes in which he missed open receivers.
The Wildcats could not have played a better game on both sides of the ball. West Virginia, trying to usurp Kan-sas State’s position atop the Big 12 Conference, fell flat on its face in attempting to stop the powerful, methodical of-fensive attack of Kansas State.
Following the loss, the Mountaineers’ pass defense statistically became the worst in the country.
WVU senior quarterback Geno Smith, once the run-away favorite to waltz out of New York City with the Heis-man Trophy in his grasp, was intercepted twice and threw for a pedestrian 143 yards – his lowest total under head coach Dana Holgorsen.
As his team’s co-offensive coordinator, offensive coordi-nator or head coach at stints at Texas Tech, Houston, Okla-homa State and WVU, no Hol-gorsen offense since 2005 has ever thrown for fewer pass-ing yards in a game than the Mountaineers did Saturday.
How did this happen? A season that appeared to have so much promise, so much potential only two weeks ago is now teetering on the preci-pice of an implosion of unbe-lievable and even laughable proportions.
Just two weeks ago West Virginia was a top-five team and had defeated Texas on the road in the toughest envi-ronment the Big 12 has to of-fer. LeBron James was tweet-ing about Geno Smith. The Mountaineers were a trendy dark-horse pick to make a run at a national title.
Now, after getting out-scored 104-28 the past two games, the hope and hype that followed this team’s ev-ery step has absconded, leav-ing the fan base saddened, the coaches confused and the players frustrated.
Texas Tech’s 49-14 victory against West Virginia last week was the worst loss the team had suffered in more than a decade. The Moun-taineers vowed Saturday’s matchup against Kansas State would be much differ-ent, and in an unfortunate way, they were correct.
Kansas State’s 41-point victory is the worst loss West Virginia has suffered at its home field in 26 years.
After the game, West Vir-ginia defensive coordinator Joe DeForest was greeted in the interview room by the lo-cal and national media in an attempt to glean some type of understanding from what had transpired during the past three hours.
Cameras and record-ers were placed in front of a stunned DeForest who, with a blank stare, failed to come up with an explanation for the defense’s performance.
Perhaps there are no an-swers to that question. Maybe the Mountaineers will turn it around. Maybe they won’t.
Only time will tell.
coDy SchUlerManaging editor
Patrick Gorrell/the Daily athenaeumKansas State senior quarterback Collin Klein threw for three touchdown and rushed for four in the Wildcats’ 55-14 stomping of West Virginia Saturday night.
by michael carvellisports editor
West Virginia co-defen-sive coordinator Joe DeFor-est paused for a few seconds after he was asked where his defense has improved since the first game of the season.
“That’s a good ques-tion,” he said. “Each week it changes. There are some positives we can pull out of it, and there are some neg-atives, obviously. Right now we’re not getting the job done.”
After struggling in the first three Big 12 Conference games of the season, the Mountaineer defense had another disappointing effort against the Wildcats.
With the exception of its first drive of the fourth quar-ter, Kansas State scored on every possession Saturday night, rolling up 479 yards of total offense. West Virginia wasn’t able to find an an-swer for a Kansas State of-fense that seemed to do ev-erything right.
“That’s the nature of this game; it’s a tough-ass busi-ness,” said WVU co-defen-sive coordinator Keith Pat-terson. “I don’t know what the answer is, but we need to find it out.”
A big part of the reason the Wildcat offense was clicking on all cylinders against the Mountaineers was quar-terback Collin Klein. In a matchup between two Heis-
man Trophy frontrunners, Klein outperformed West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith with a near-perfect performance.
The senior completed 19 of his 21 pass attempts for 323 yards, while adding 41 yards on the ground and ac-counting for all seven of the Wildcats’ touchdowns – in-cluding three through the air.
“He doesn’t do anything wrong. He doesn’t make mistakes,” said West Vir-ginia head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. “He is exactly the same guy we thought he would be on film … He gets in good plays and doesn’t turn the ball over.”
Saturday night’s game
was the second time that West Virginia’s defense has allowed more than 50 points in a game. It’s the first time that has happened since the Mountaineers went 2-9 in 1978.
Through four Big 12 games, the Mountaineers have already allowed more points (212) than the 2010 defense – which finished ranked in the top five na-tionally – allowed all season (176).
DeForest admitted af-ter the game that it’s gotten to a point where they have tried about everything they can do at this point to make things better.
“I don’t want to blame it on the kids. Blame it on me.
I’ll take the hit; I’m OK with that,” DeForest said. “I’ll tell you one thing, we’re going to make it right. We’re go-ing to fix this.
“I’m embarrassed about what happened tonight. I’m embarrassed, but it’s my job to make it right.”
Some of the adjust-ments the defensive staff has made have included simplifying the scheme as much as they can – which
DeForest admits is making it even more difficult when he sees them struggle the way the Mountaineers have.
“I’ve got to do a better job as a coordinator to put them in better situations,” DeFor-est said. “But when they’re in those situations, they need to make a play.”
Holgorsen said after the game close to 30 players played on the defensive side of the ball for WVU. Of the players who got on the field, 14 of them were either fresh-men or sophomores.
With so many young play-ers getting playing time, the Mountaineers are still look-ing for leaders.
“It’s hard because you want someone to step up and grab the team and say, ‘Follow me’, ” DeForest said. “We don’t have that on de-fense and, until we do, we’ll struggle.
“It’s up to us as coaches to try to find leaders, but it’s up to the kids to be leaders. You can’t always lead as a coach, you’ve got to have someone from within to pull them with you,” he said.
DeForest ‘embarassed’ by defense’s performance in loss to No. 4 Kansas State

Finals set for Mountaineer Idol
Katie Flowers/tHe DailY atHeNaeUMPatrick Garcia performs ‘I Want You Back’ in a Broadway and Motown-themed elimination round for this year’s Mountaineer Idol.
by Jack lakecorrespondent
The stakes were high as Mountaineer Idol hope-ful Patrick Garcia’s notes wrapped up the fifth round of competition Friday.
Of the five remaining contestants, Paris Winfrey, Scott Link and Alexa Gon-zales won the votes of the judges to move into the final round which will be held Nov. 4 at the Metropolitan Theatre.
It was a close competi-tion among the final five contestants as they demon-strated their talent through the night’s themes of Broad-way and Motown. This tight race made for an exciting and energetic night of tunes for all in the Mountainlair Ballroom.
“I think they all had great presences, (and) I think they made some bold choices,” said Mountaineer Idol judge Zacary Tardiff. “Their confidence showed through their performance and made their perfor-mances better.”
Patrick Garcia kicked off the show with his ukulele, singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” which show-cased his impressive vocal range.
Following Garcia was Gonzales, who sang “I Know Where I’ve Been” from the hit production “Hairspray.” Scott Link followed her per-formance with “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from “Funny Girl.”
The opening round of the night concluded with Paige Madden’s version of “Part of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid” and Paris Winfrey’s impersonation of The King. Winfrey covered Elvis’ “Blue Suede Shoes,” and he made the perfor-mance more special with a dedication to his mother.
Following an intermis-sion and a performance from 2008 Mountaineer Idol winner Holly Hunsberger, the second round of Mo-town sound was underway.
Much to the enjoyment of the audience, Garcia stepped on stage backed
by four dancers. Together, the “Braxton Five” danced as Garcia sang “I Want You Back,” a tune originally per-formed by The Jackson Five. Though the performance was entertaining, Gar-cia was unable to keep his composure for the perfor-mance’s duration, laughing at the audience’s reaction to his entourage.
Gonzales then got the crowd moving with her ren-dition of “Dancing in the Streets,” grabbing members of the audience and twirling them about the dance floor.
Though she had a good response from the audi-ence, Gonzales was unsure of her future in the compe-tition after a few mishaps occurred during her per-formance. While interact-ing with the crowd, Gon-zales was thrown off-key, and a similar misstep took place again at the end of her performance, forcing her to end with a quick “Sorry!”
The judges were able to look past these mishaps, though, and Gonzales’
strong pipes carried her into the final round of action.
“That’s why I was sur-prised; I got distracted try-ing to dance with every-one,” Gonzales said. “I’m extremely excited … I am honored to be in the final.”
Next up was Link, who sang Bobby Darin’s “Dream Lover,” followed by Madden performing The Supremes’ hit, “Where did Our Love Go.”
To close out the night, Winfrey sang a heartfelt ver-sion of “My Girl,” which he again dedicated to a spe-cial woman in his life – his girlfriend.
“I really value these two women whom I sang to to-day,” Winfrey said. “It’s been crazy – a roller-coaster – a lot of anxiety and a lot of fun.”
The final round of com-petition will be held at the
Metropolitan Theatre Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. The final three will battle it out for the chance at $1,000 and the title of “Mountaineer Idol.”
“It is an absolute plea-sure; all of the contestants are so nice. It doesn’t even feel like a competition. It’s like we are all singing to-gether, and we get money in the end,” Gonzales said.
