226 pedestrians struck in 10 years

BY JOSH COOPER STAFF WRITER

The Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board is working to address problems related to pedestrian-vehicle injuries in Morgantown.

From Jan. 1998 to June 2008, 226 pedestrian-vehicle injuries were reported, according to a report conducted by Christen Seaman of West Virginia University’s Injury Control Research Center.

The most dangerous intersections in Morgantown are between Spruce and Wal-

nut streets; High and Willey streets; and South University Avenue and Pleasant Street, the study states.

Most pedestrian-vehicle accidents occurred in the early evening hours, between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., and in transitional months, such as September, October and April, according to the study.

A lack of funding from the state and underdeveloped alternate transportation systems may contribute to the pedestrian-vehicle problem in Morgantown, said Bill Reger-Nash, vice chairperson of the Pedes-

trian Safety Board.

“West Virginia is dead last when it come to alternate transportation contribution,” he said.

Currently, only about 0.5 percent of federal transportation money is put toward alternate transportation, RegerNash said.

“We can’t solve our transportation problems by building new roads. We need smarter methods of transportation,” he said.

The Safety Board is working to address pedestrian problems in Morgantown by deal-

ing with problems that arise when walking and reviewing statistics.

The board is currently working to correct problems such as lighting, warning signs and right and left turns at red lights to make Morgantown a safer place for pedestrians, said Christiaan Abildso, chair of the Safety Board.

“We’re analyzing police reports from the last five years to look at pedestrian-vehicle accidents,” Abildso said.

Jaywalking is another contributing factor to pedestrianvehicle accidents, he said.

More fun than a toothache

Pedestrians often cross roads when the signal says not to walk. Even if there is no traffic and a pedestrian uses a crosswalk, it is still considered jaywalking, Abildso said.

However, if there is a yellow pedestrian crosswalk sign, such as those on High Street, a pedestrian may legally cross the road at any time, he said.

This year, two WVU students have been struck in crosswalks on the Evansdale Campus.

On Oct. 2, Victoria Gonzalez, a freshman pre-journalism major, was struck by a vehicle at approximately 4:30 p.m. at a

School of Dentistry allows children to tour museum during October

BY MELISSA CANDOLFI STAFF WRITER

The West Virginia University School of Dentistry is celebrating National Dental Hygiene Month by hosting tours of the Museum of Dentistry.

The school is showcasing the Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry’s “MouthPower” exhibit. It will be held Oct. 6 to Oct. 25.

The exhibit will give tours to children in kindergarten through third grade.

The students will be guided through eight hands-on learning stations, which include building a tooth, learning to brush and floss, saying no to smoking, tobacco and its effects on teeth and eating healthy.

The goal of the experiences will hopefully encourage the children to maintain a healthy oral lifestyle, said Louise

Veselicky, interim dean of the School of Dentistry.

“It will improve behaviors like going to the dentist and getting people to take good care of their teeth,” she said.

Amy Johns, director of public affairs for the Health Sciences Center, said the exhibit features a large mouth and toothbrush to allow the children to learn proper brushing and flossing skills.

This is the first time the museum has come to WVU, Johns said.

WVU is the only dental school in the state, Veselicky said.

She hopes by offering an exhibit like this it will encourage the citizens to be more aware of their oral health.

“There is more and more research showing that if your mouth is healthy, your body Tara Mayle/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM is more healthy,” she said.

Students have become increasingly interested in the program, and WVU has begun to grant college credit for the internship as well, she said.

Participants of the program can gain up to 12 college credits each semester through various departments, Lilly said.

There are currently 25 members of the Disney College Program at WVU, she said.

Steve O’Neil, a senior marketing major, was part of the

program for two years.

“One of the hidden advantages is the networking,” O’Neil said. “It’s a great place to meet people during the jobs that you aspire to do in the future.”

Participating in the Disney College Program gave Mike Fontanesi, a junior marketing major, the opportunity to meet other students from all over the country as well as international students.

Forman sustained a fractured wrist and trauma to his body from the incident.

The West Virginia University Student Government Association tabled a vote for a grant request at its Wednesday meeting after a miscommunication.

The Indian Student Association applied for a SGA grant, it but failed to attend Wednesday’s meeting. According to the Student Body constitution, approved during February’s election, members of the organizations must be present at the meeting before grants can be approved.

SGA will vote on the grant request when the two groups meet.

SGA Treasurer Shannon Veyon said there was communication issues between the group’s adviser and the ISA member who submitted the grant application. She said she was in contact with both parties.

The Student Body Constitution also states SGA’s treasurer must facilitate, monitor and promote the access of student organizations that apply for grants. Chief of Staff Dan-

iel Brummage spoke on behalf of the ISA during open student forum, stating the organization was unaware it was necessary to attend the meeting. No one from the group could attend after such short notice, he said.

“This is the biggest event held in the Mountainlair all year,” he said. “Almost a thousand people attend this event, and it’s the kickoff for International Week. They really need this money this week, so it’s really ultra-time sensitive.”

Attorney General Matt Gutta responded by explaining that ISA has worked with SGA in the past and should have been aware of the regulations for the grant approval process.

Gutta informed the Board it can handle the situation “retroactively.”

“If, for some reason, they can go and have their event and apply for a grant retroactively then we can grant that to them within the next week,” he said. “It is a group’s responsibility to be here whenever they present this.”

University goes pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness month

By Jessica Leppar Staff writer

The West Virginia University Mountaineers bleed blue and gold but are donning pink this month.

Pink OneWVU shirts are being handed out to the West Virginia University community in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The shirts are part of the OneWVU campaign developed by the President’s Office for Social Justice in collaboration with the cancer center at Ruby Memorial Hospital, said Charles Morris, associate director for Social Justice.

“It’s a way of communicating that when we articulate that we are one WVU, that includes everybody,” he said.

“A part of that is making sure that we are healthy and that we’re taking care of each other.”

The shirts are handed out during meetings and events, but all members of the WVU community are welcome to pick one up in Stewart Hall, said Jennifer McIntosh, executive officer for Social Justice.

Other members of the WVU

community are also supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month in many ways.

WVU’s main website is displaying a pink background this week in support of the month.

Several of WVU’s athletic teams are involved in raising awareness.

The WVU football team will wear pink ribbon stickers on their helmets throughout the entire month, said Mike Fragale, assistant athletic director for communications.

The WVU volleyball team is hosting a “Dig Pink” night during their Oct. 8 game against Georgetown during which fans are encouraged to wear pink, he said.

In addition, the WVU men’s soccer team is hosting a “Think Pink” night and the women’s soccer team will be wearing pink during their Oct. 17th game against Georgetown, Fragale said.

Members of the women’s soccer team will also present a check of money they raised to fight breast cancer at the game.

Continued from page 1 Lewallen reminded the board that this is the first year it has been mandatory for a member of a student organization to be present during the meeting in order to receive a grant.

Gov. Jason Bailey pointed out to the BOG’s reasons for making changes to the grant process from the previous SGA administration.

“It does explicitly say in the grant application that the organization must be present at the meeting to receive the grant,” he said.

“I don’t want to go off with precedents from past adminis-

trations because this is us, and this is our new grant application procedure.”

Gutta added it is not the responsibility of the BOG to correct any miscommunication.

Vice President Ron Cheng applauded the Board for sticking to the changes it made in the grant process.

“As an officer of another organization, speaking as not your vice president but as a student, I think that you guys need to enforce a time notice,” Cheng said.

Cheng said he would look into the miscommunication.

Before the meeting, during Student Connections, SGA members played dodgeball.

Nicole Crane, Gov. Rashad Bates’ intern, said the dodge-

ball activity was “pretty intense,” but also fun. Crane said she enjoyed bonding with her fellow SGA members.

Sarah Danno, Gov. Charlie Russell’s intern, also said she had a lot of fun playing dodgeball, but after a while it got too violent for her.

Gov. Megan Callaghan, who organized the event, said she and Cheng wanted to have a social, interactive and lecture-based format for Student Connections.

The exhibit is located on the WVU Health Science Campus near the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

Television advertisement targets W.Va congressman’s Arabic background

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia group led by Republican tea party activists is running an ad trying to link longtime Democratic Rep. Nick Rahall to President Barack Obama, emphasizing the congressman’s Arab-American ancestry.

One of the leaders of the West Virginia Conservative Foundation contributes to a blog that has targeted Rahall and suggests he has ties to terrorists or their supporters.

In the ad, ominous music plays in the background as Rahall discusses his efforts to enlist fellow Arab-Americans to support Obama when he was a presidential candidate. With the words “chaired Arab Americans for Obama” appearing at one point, the ad asks viewers to call Rahall and “tell him to stand with West Virginians.”

The 61-year-old Rahall is running for an 18th U.S. House term in the state’s southern Third Congressional District.

The campaign for Rahall’s GOP opponent, Elliott “Spike” Maynard, didn’t immediately comment on the ad.

Derek Scarbro, executive director of the state Democratic Party, cited polling that suggested Rahall was ahead in the race.

“It’s a desperate move,” Scarbro said Wednesday. “They’re just throwing money at the wall now, just trying to get it to stick.”

The conservative group spent more than $227,000 on the ad, but declined to reveal its donors.

“With this ad campaign, we are taking our educational efforts to the next level,” the group said in a statement.

Lance Eric Schultz and Nathaniel “Thorney” Lieberman, Charleston-based Republicans and tea party activists, are listed as the group’s current leaders. A photographer, Lieberman’s work and activism appears on a blog that routinely attacks Arabs and Muslims, particularly on topics involving Israel.

The blog also promotes the view that Obama is a Muslim who may not have been born in the U.S. Obama is a Christian who was born in U.S. Obama is considered unpopular in West Virginia. He failed to win in 2008 and state Republicans have seized on the president’s low approval ratings in several races, including Rahall’s.

State Republican Party Chairman Mike Stuart, who founded the conservative group, distanced himself from both the ad and the group Wednesday.

“I don’t support that ad in any way, shape or form,” said Stuart, who became party chief in July. “I abhor that sort of thing.”

During and since Stuart’s tenure, the foundation has

criticized the administration’s desire to limit emissions from burning coal and its handling of mining rules. With the industry prominent in Rahall’s 17-county district, Stuart and others have alleged that he hasn’t done enough to support coal.

“Racism and bigotry are things that I condemn. There are plenty of reasons to vote against Rahall that don’t involve these things,” Stuart said.

Just under one-third of one percent of West Virginians described themselves as ArabAmericans in the 2000 Census, the 20th-largest population among states. The pastor of a Charleston church founded by Arab-Americans called the ad silly.

The Rev. Olaf Scott of St. George Orthodox Cathedral said he planned to write a letter to the local newspaper about it.

“It’s a hint that he has these links somehow to terrorism or Hamas or the radical elements of the Arabic movement, which is silly,” Scott said.

Describing himself as a libertarian- and Republican-leaning independent voter, Scott said he’s long been friends with Rahall and his family. Scott said Rahall’s ancestors, of Lebanese descent, helped found St. George but noted that Rahall is a Presbyterian.

“He’s just a good old southern Protestant West Virginia boy, in effect,” Scott said.

Manchin sues Obama administration CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Joe Manchin’s aides filed suit Wednesday against the Obama administration’s coal mining policies as the West Virginia Democrat wages a fierce Senate race against Republican John Raese’s attempts to paint him as a rubber stamp for the president.

Manchin on Wednesday denied any connection between the federal lawsuit and his campaign to finish the remaining two years of the late U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd’s term.

The Democratic governor said the suit was already being prepared amid rising concern that U.S. coal policies harm West Virginia’s mining economy months before Byrd died in June. The state hired a Charleston law firm to prepare for a suit and state Environmental Protection Secretary Randy Huffman said in June that litigation was imminent.

“Over the past year and a half, we have been fighting President Obama’s administration’s attempts to de-

stroy the coal mining industry,” Manchin said at a news conference Wednesday at the Capitol.

GOP rival John Raese, a businessman with a shot at a Senate seat the Republicans once considered unwinnable, characterized the suit as flipflopping by Manchin.

The lawsuit filed by the state Department of Environmental Protection in Charleston federal court names the Environmental Protection Agency and its administrator, Lisa Jackson, as defendants.

It targets EPA policies adopted since Obama took office that are designed to limit the practice of burying streams under excess rock removed while extracting coal at mines. Critics say that practice destroys the environment; the mining industry defends it as an efficient way to produce cheap power and employ thousands in wellpaying jobs.

The suit challenges procedures announced during the Obama administration that are

designed to reduce the number of permits issued for coal mines in West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Since Obama took office, the flow of water quality permits for Appalachian mines has slowed to a trickle.

“People’s jobs are in jeopardy,” Manchin said Wednesday. “We’ve got too much of our economy and too many jobs and people’s families at stake.”

West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney praised Manchin’s action. So did Roger Horton, who drives a truck at a Logan County surface mine. Horton said he fears losing his $74,000-a-year job at a moment’s notice.

Manchin invoked Byrd’s legacy during his news conference. He pulled out a copy of the U.S. Constitution and quoted the 10th Amendment, which deals with states’ powers. Byrd was well known for carrying a copy of the Constitution and quoting from it.

New Jersey senator calls for anti-bully law after suicide

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Wednesday he’ll introduce legislation requiring colleges to adopt a code of conduct that prohibits bullying and harassment following the suicide of a student whose gay sexual encounter in his dorm room was broadcast online.

Lautenberg, D-N.J., made the announcement at a town meeting on the Rutgers University campus in memory of 18-year-old freshman Tyler Clementi.

Clementi, a promising violinist, jumped off the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River on Sept. 22 after the intimate images of him with another man were webcast, and his body was identified days later.

Clementi’s roommate, Dharun Ravi, and another Rutgers freshman, Molly Wei, both 18, have been charged with invasion of privacy, and authorities are weighing whether bias crime charges should be added.

Clementi’s death has prompted a national discussion on the plight of young gay people and bullying. The Rutgers event, organized by the university and the gay rights activist group Garden State Equality, drew about 300 students and others, including U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and actress/ comedienne Judy Gold, a

Rutgers grad and gay activist who won two Daytime Emmy Awards as a writer and producer for “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”

“No one could have heard about this degradation he suffered without feeling pain themselves,” Lautenberg said.

“This is a major problem, and we’re going to fix it.”

Gold expressed outrage at the pain inflicted on Clementi.

“What happened to him was not just an invasion of privacy. This was just sick,” she said.

Lautenberg said his bill would require colleges and universities that receive federal student aid to create policies prohibiting harassment of any student. Such policies are not currently required by federal law, he said. The bill also would provide funding for schools to establish programs to deter harassment of students.

Clementi’s death was one of a string of suicides last month involving teens believed to have been victims of antigay bullying. Just days after Clementi’s body was recovered, more than 500 people attended a memorial service for a 13-year-old central California boy, Seth Walsh, who hanged himself after enduring taunts from classmates about being gay.

Earlier Wednesday, Ravi’s lawyer, Steven D. Altman, issued a statement saying he

was “heartened to hear” that investigators are taking their time “to learn all the facts before rushing to judgment” about whether to file bias charges against his client. Altman said he hoped the public would do the same.

“I am confident that nothing will be learned to justify, warrant or support the filing of any bias criminal complaint,” Altman said.

Middlesex County prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said earlier this week that he wouldn’t rush the investigation into Clementi’s death. His spokesman said Wednesday there was nothing new to report.

Lawyers for Wei released a statement Tuesday saying she was innocent and extending sympathy to the Clementi family.

“This is a tragic situation,” the statement said. “But this tragedy has also unfairly led to rampant speculation and misinformation, which threaten to overwhelm the actual facts of the matter. Those true facts will reveal that Molly is innocent.”

Ravi, of Plainsboro, and Wei, of Princeton, each could face up to five years in prison if convicted on the invasion of privacy charge.

Clementi’s family has said little. In a statement last week, it said it hoped the tragedy would “serve as a call for compassion, empathy and human dignity.”

Chicago residents wanted more from Obama’s visit to hometown CHICAGO (AP) — Even in President Barack Obama’s hometown, they had hoped for more.

Obama will be stumping for Senate candidate and basketball buddy Alexi Giannoulias on Thursday in Chicago, a city where every other person crossing the street seems to have a story about descending on Grant Park that historic night of the 2008 election or proudly watching the president take the oath on television.

But nearly two years after Obama took office, while the president remains widely popular in the city, his image has slipped a bit as many people wonder where the promised change and jobs are, even if they believe such talk is probably a bit unfair.

“I talk to people, you know, who thought he would just have a magic wand,” said Ira Acree, a pastor on the city’s South Side, where Obama worked as a community organizer, taught law and still has a house.

Across the city this week, many Chicagoans acted a bit defensive or protective of Obama, who considers Chicago home despite being born in Hawaii. Obama has only visited a handful of times since he left for the White House, but his adopted hometown seems more willing to give him a pass than other places around the nation.

“They want him to succeed, unlike some places where they want him to fail,” said Abner Mikva, a veteran political figure in Chicago, where’s he been a Democratic congressman, federal appeals judge and political mentor to Obama. “Because he’s ours.”

Around Illinois, which leans strongly Democratic, Obama’s approval ratings have fallen in some polls – to 51 percent from 59 percent a year ago, according to a Tribune/WGN-TV survey in September.

But he still has drawing power for fellow Democrats.

While Obama won’t visit his for-

mer chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who left the White House last week to run for mayor, both Gov. Pat Quinn and Giannoulias will appear with him, hoping some of his star power can translate into votes in the November election.

One after another, residents said that in Chicago expectations were simply too high, that there was no way Obama could accomplish what they had hoped he would.

“They thought he would come in and all those long repressed desires of progressive folks would come true, that passage (of bills) would be easy and would be a matter of introducing the bills,” said David Fagus, the Democratic committeeman for the 49th ward on the city’s North Side.

Nowhere was that more true than in the black community.

Laverne Mangum, whose “Yes, Yes, Yes,” could be heard over the other cheering Chicagoans who packed themselves into a restaurant the day of the inauguration, said some of her friends seemed to expect the change would come almost before they paid their tabs that day and walked outside.

“Being the first black president, most black people thought he was going to turn everything around (and) everything would be better for the underprivileged, the black people,” Mangum said. “The expectations were really big.”

The 66-year-old retiree, who defended Obama and said he’s doing “the best job that he can do,” said her friends may be onto something when pointing out the lack of jobs that still exist under Obama.

“He could have done more ...” she said. “He helped the banks, but what about jobs?”

Jason Rupp, 38, a software developer, applauded the president’s ability to push through health care legislation, but suggested that battle distracted him from efforts to turn around the

economy.

“I’d like to see him more focused on jobs, said Rupp, who voted for Obama.

Obama also has disappointed some in the city’s Hispanic community because of what they see as his unwillingness to push immigration reform, said Omar Lopez, the chair of the Chicago Latino Coalition.

“They expected him to really bring change and they haven’t seen it,” he said.

There’s even a bit of grumbling over Obama’s comments about the city’s fledgling mayor’s race, which is suddenly wide open thanks to Mayor Richard Daley’s announcement last month that he won’t run for re-election to a seventh term.

Some residents didn’t appreciate Obama’s comments last month that then-chief of staff Rahm Emanuel would “be a terrific mayor.”

“They want to know why he’s talking about a local race,” said 19th ward commiteeman Matt O’Shea, a supporter of Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, a potential mayoral candidate.

At the same time, Chicagoans offer something to Obama that may be in shorter supply in other parts of the country: understanding.

“There’s a lot of feeling that the one thing that has just made it so much more difficult is the Republican leadership’s decision to absolutely dig in and say ‘No’ to everything,” said Dawn Clark Netsch, a prominent Chicago Democrat who once served as state comptroller and ran unsuccessfully for governor.

“Obviously (Republicans) want the leadership back and this is one way of getting it,” added Bettylu Saltzman, a Democratic donor perhaps best known in the city for predicting to friends, including David Axelrod, that a young man she’d met in 1992 named Barack Obama would be the country’s first black president.

People on a tour of Plum Island check out seals relaxing on the rocky coast of Plum Island in New York, Wednesday. The federal government wants to relocate the animal disease lab on the island to the central state of Kansas and is proceeding with plans to sell the isolated, 840-acre (340-hectare) pork chop-shaped island off the eastern tip of nearby Long Island, a move that has some environmentalists fretting about Plum Island’s future.

Environmentalists get rare look at island off of New York coast PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. (AP) — The classified ad might read: “Island for sale. Gem of a property, teeming with fish and wildlife, only a two-hour drive from nation’s largest metro area. Features power plant, sewage treatment. Ripe for development.”

What it might not say: “Site of animal disease research and germ warfare testing; old Army coastal defense post.”

Plum Island held an open house of sorts for environmental leaders Wednesday as the federal government proceeds with plans to relocate its 50-year-old animal disease research laboratory to Kansas and sell the 840-acre pork chop-shaped island off the eastern tip of New York’s Long Island.

The laboratory is modern and would not look out of place on any college campus, but the rest of the island is largely undeveloped with freshwater marshes, pristine beaches and seals resting on huge rocks just offshore.

There is also an 1869 lighthouse (no longer in use) and buildings from a U.S. Army base that closed after World War II. The visit was part of an ongoing effort by Plum Island brass to end the suspicion surrounding the island made famous in a 1997 Nelson DeMille best-selling book of the same name, and its mention as a possible home for Hannibal Lecter in the film “Silence of the Lambs.”

“There has been, in the past, more secrecy about the facility,” said lab director Dr. Larry Barrett, who noted more than a dozen community groups have visited this year. “This facility is not a threat to the nation, it’s not a threat to anyone. The job here is to protect our nation against attacks on our livestock.”

Agriculture Department scientists perform the lab studies, but the Department of Homeland Security has overseen the island and its security since 2003.

Because the island is a potential target for those who might want to steal dangerous pathogens or wreak havoc, visitors must undergo

FBI background checks and all bags are inspected before anyone is permitted onto a ferry for the 1.5-mile trip.

Armed guards check visitors leaving the island to ensure no food or other material is carried back to the populated areas.

Environmentalists peppered Plum Island officials with questions about sewage treatment, groundwater testing, whether surveys have been conducted on the impact a sale might have on wildlife and concerns about possible contamination. The officials were short on specific answers but promised a follow-up meeting.

“I was a little surprised by the lack of detailed environmental information so that was a little disappointing, said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “So we still have the same concerns. The same concerns about groundwater, soil, wetland contamination. We need to make sure that public health is protected as well as the natural assets.”

Most of the environmentalists said they would support a research and development facility to replace the laboratory but were adamant that most of the island should remain in its natural state.

“It would be a terrible insult to the millions of people who live within an hour’s drive of the (Long Island) Sound for this to be developed as a playground for the few, as opposed to making it a managed and loved place for the many,” said Curt Johnson, program director of a group called Save the Sound.

He said the island has been identified as an exemplary site for fish and wildlife. Great Gull Island and Little Gull Island, both nearby, combined with Plum Island have a large population of nesting roseate terns, an endangered species, he added.

“This is an incredible snapshot of what Long Island Sound looked like hundreds of years ago,” Sandy Breslin, director of governmental affairs for Audubon Connecticut, said as she watched seals resting on rocks.

The General Services Administration, which is responsible for selling the island, is compiling a draft environmental impact statement, a preliminary step for any sale. Expected last month, the statement has been delayed until late November or early December to allow input from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Fish & Wildlife Service, GSA spokeswoman Paula Santangelo said.

Documents, some obtained this year by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Law, reveal that hundreds of tons of medical waste, contaminated soil and other refuse have been shipped off the island. Other island sites have been cleaned in compliance with federal regulations.

And the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined in 2006 that no munitions or ordnance remain from the Army base. As late as 2007, New York government inspection reports said there is no environmental threat on the island.

Despite talk of selling Plum Island, officials said a new lab in Manhattan, Kan., is not scheduled to open until 2018.

Still pending is a congressional risk assessment of Homeland Security’s decision to move the animal disease lab there; some lawmakers question the wisdom of studying dangerous pathogens in the so-called Beef Belt. DHS has determined that an accidental release of foot-and-mouth disease would have a $4.2 billion impact on the economy, regardless of the lab’s location.

Alan Schnurman, a real estate developer in the Hamptons on Long Island’s east end, said he has heard estimates that Plum Island could fetch as much as $50 million.

“As a high-end real estate project, whether it’s developed as a resort or for highend individual homes, Plum Island is very appealing to a certain segment of the population,” Schnurman said.

“They should develop the area where the lab is located and set aside the rest for environmental purposes.”

Now is time to become politically active Americans will take to the election booth in just 26 days, determining the fate of the country with the check of a box.

With less than a month to go, there has rarely been a better time to get involved with student organizations on campus or to get informed with the latest goings on of Washington.

The College Republicans and Young Democrats at WVU offer students a chance to hear the viewpoints of the two major political parties. Both sides

are continuing their longstanding battle for control of Capitol Hill.

This time, however, the Democrats are fighting to justify the work they’ve done since taking control in 2006 and retaking the White House in 2008.

The latest political group making its name known across the nation has also established a presence at the University – the Tea Party Patriots of WVU. The Tea Party has seen a surge of national interest, as voters become disaffected

with the established parties.

Kylen Whipp, junior biology and pre-medical major, is president of the University’s group and formed the campus offshoot to provide an alternative political voice at this school.

“Our main purpose on campus is to try to get students more active in government,” Whipp told The Daily Athenaeum earlier this week.

It is a noble goal of any political group at WVU. The College Republicans, recently reformed after a year

hiatus, is back, focusing efforts on advancing conservative ideals and candidates; the Young Democrats attempt to do the same for the left.

While those groups may focus on national issues, there are issues closer to home that also deserve such attention.

The death of Sen. Robert C. Byrd is still being felt, as current West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin and Republican candidate John Raese fight for the all-important Senate seat.

Whatever the political affiliation, students should, and

must, get involved to continue their democratic rights to choose their representatives. It’s all too easy in these times of distrust of Washington to sink into apathy and disconnect yourself from the political world.

However, there has rarely been a more important election for West Virginia and the nation, as it struggles for representation that will guide it to a more prosperous and stable future. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Fall in Morgantown is the best time of the year josh peters correspondent

I love Morgantown in the fall.

Last Wednesday, I was preparing for a social in my hall when a friend sent a text asking me to come support her social.

With a few minutes to spare, I went.

I walked into her hall to a presentation being given by the University Police Department.

The way the window in the room was facing, the sun was setting directly behind the Coliseum. The sun obscured by the building illuminated the sky with a bright red hue.

As the officer was giving his presentation, I was completely lost in my own little world, staring out at this magnificent sight.

For that moment, I was in the presence of pure perfection.

As I walked away, I felt this terrible sense of regret,thinking I would never see something so splendid and poetic ever again.

But one day later, I opened my window and had essentially the same view as my friend’s, and I saw almost an exact replica of the sunset from the day before.

That triggered a question in my head. Is there anything better than Morgantown in the

fall?

The answer is no.

For those of you out there that have never been in Morgantown during the fall, prepare yourselves. It is something that can only be described as a religious experience.

Anywhere in the state of West Virginia is amazing during this season, for the simple fact of all the trees. The state is the third most heavily forested in the nation, with 78 percent of the state covered in trees, according to the West Virginia Division of Forestry.

Within a couple of weeks, we will all be surrounded by a sea of natural beauty.

The brightest reds, yellows and oranges you will see in nature will consume your every step as you walk the Downtown Campus.

The scene at Woodburn Circle is simply something postcards are made of. (That is, of course, if you choose not to notice the scaffolding currently engulfing Woodburn Hall.)

However, the greatest sight of all lies on the Engineering Campus.

Right in front of the Evansdale Library, on the path that leads to Towers, the trees break. In that break, one can see over the hill to the Student Recreation Center and beyond, over many rolling hills.

In that scene, the colors blend together on that hillside like a great painting. Nothing

looks an inch out of place.

It is as if God opened up heaven for a moment just to show us the physical manifestation of eternity in the promised land.

For those people that live on the Evansdale Campus, ride the PRT to Engineering this fall just so you can take that stroll and see what true natural beauty is. It is absolutely breathtaking.

Then there is the experience of football.

Here at WVU, football is taken as a secondary religion.

And nothing says football quite

like the changing of the leaves in fall.

The scene is absolutely amazing. Hoards of fans gather in the parking lot, tailgating hours before kickoff, most wearing long sleeves or light jackets to fight off the nip in the air. (And of course, a little bit of a blanket in a bottle never hurts, either.)

And as the night falls over Morgantown, the bright lights of Mountaineer Field are the symbolic beacon of hope for an entire state.

Time stands still.

For those of you who have

Letter to the editor Parking authority should implement a ‘MoonLite’ pass Parking is on the agenda again.

Years ago, I proposed the MoonLite Parking Pass. Anyone with campus affiliation would be able to purchase the MoonLite Parking Pass for $20 (then $5) per month.

AP

Leaves change color in front of the Mountainlair.

never experienced fall in this area, take one piece of advice.

When you are walking down the street, head down in your phone texting people you probably don’t even want to talk to, take the time to look up.

Look up and see the magnificent things that are happening all around you.

Take time away from drinking and actually stumble into the stadium for a football game.

Because one day, sooner than you think, there won’t be any more falls left for you in Morgantown.

daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The pass would enable you to park on campus parking lots after certain hours on a firstcome, first-served basis. There would be other blackout times and rules, as with all campus parking.

Imagine a nice MoonLite sign at the entrance to key parking lots.

At the time, I remember walking and driving around campus after normal hours and wondering why the Campus Parking Authority did not

realize the potential revenue from off-peak lot rentals.

Surely they need more money.

The monetary upside of this program has great potential, maybe $20 multiplied by 1,000 passes each month. There would be very little expense to create this service.

I encourage a group of students to conduct a survey of parking lots during off-peak times.

My guess is they will find a lot of unused parking spots.

Given some simple data (and maybe a few pictures), it would be hard for the Parking Authority to deny some new concepts for empty parking spaces.

A recent letter to the editor highlighted many important points.

The safety issue of walking a short distance to your vehicle instead of walking a long way home or to your vehicle parked in a different area should be a huge consideration.

There may be increased

participation in campus activities and use of the University’s resources. Fewer tickets and less towing would be an improvement.

Perhaps the Parking Authority would rather sit back and pass out tickets. It takes forward-thinking to see all the empty spaces and link that resource to a needed student service and a source of revenue.

albert mestrovic Guest column

City, University must improve transportation What is going on with the public transportation in Morgantown?

The University spends all this money on renovations for the PRT and it still has the same old problems it had six years ago when I began college at WVU. Why doesn’t the University spend money and time to research efficient transportation technology? Obviously the PRT track needs to be expanded and revamped for modern functionality.

Furthermore, the PRT should be expanded to the Suncrest Towne Centre at the very least.

Has anyone ever considered a light rail system in place of the PRT? A light rail tram system, or tram, could use the preexisting PRT guideway if integrated into the infrastructure intelligently.

From my personal experience, I think a tram system would work quite well.

I have studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, and their system is highly efficient, operating 30 trams throughout the city.

This idea of a tram would also create local jobs for operators and minimize systematic errors with the old computer software and outdated automobile chassis.

The PRT is an old technology that obviously does not work efficiently.

Please bring in some new technology and visit locations with well-established, efficient public transport.

I personally would recommend a scheduled tram that would traverse the city every 10 to 15 minutes instead of the time-honored personal destination selection.

Along with the PRT problems, the Mountain Line Transit has its own tribulations throughout the Morgantown area.

People do not use the public transportation because it is not reliable. I rode the Mountain Line for the first time yesterday, and it was 45 minutes late.

In addition to the tardiness, there is not a proper bus stop sheltering patrons from the weather. Why isn’t there a covered bus stop, a bus stop sign or more signs indicating routes and schedule?

If the University and the city want to solve the traffic problem, these sites and issues need proper development.

Sustainability through public transportation is the key to this city’s future. If information, visible locations and reliable transportation are present, then people will utilize the systems.

West Virginia University, Morgantown, and the Mountain Line Transit: Please make some educated decisions when developing public transport.

Do not be scared to ask for assistance, conduct some bright research and listen to your most important asset – the students.

A&E PINK concert to be held tonight 5

Thursday October 7, 2010

by mackenzie mays associate a&e editor

Rap/hip-hop artist Drake will perform a free live concert today at St. Francis Field as part of the “Gold & Blue Bash” hosted

by Victoria’s Secret PINK. The event begins at 5 p.m. at St. Francis Field, located between Towers and the Student Recreation Center.

The concert was awarded after West Virginia University beat 58 schools in the PINK Nation Collegiate Showdown in April.

WVU students voted online to win the all-day event, beating 58 colleges total.

“Drake was our top choice, as he is one of the hottest performers out there right now and will bring great excitement and energy to WVU,” said Sarah Sylvester, a Victoria’s Secret PINK spokesperson.

Autumn Lonon, a junior

broadcast journalism major, expected a mainstream, female artist to perform at the event and was pleasantly surprised

by Victoria’s Secret’s choice of artist.

“I can’t even put my reaction into words. When I found out Drake was the surprise performance, I was so excited,” Lonon said. “I’m completely blown away.”

Miami sensation DJ Irie will also be performing at the concert.

In addition to the musical performances, a variety of activities will be offered at the celebration.

“There will be fun games and activities happening throughout the night, as well as food and beverages,” Sylvester said.

The celebration will feature pop-up shops with the latest PINK Collection fashions, including a limited edition WVU

“Gold & Blue Bash” T-shirt.

Professional PINK models Candice Swanepoel and Chanel Iman will also be in attendance, going head-to-head with students in tailgate competitions.

Toiletry items will be collected for a local charity drive, and participants will receive a PINK freebie in exchange for their donation.

Entry to the event is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited capacity.

WVU issued student IDs or printed invitations must be presented upon entry. Only members of PINK Nation can download an invite. To join, visit www.vspink.com/pinknation. com.

Students will be able to use the PRT at the conclusion of the Gold and Blue Bash, as it will be open until 11:15 p.m. in order to give students a safe and reliable way home after the event.

Bus shuttle services will be available prior to the event for students living on the Downtown Campus.

The shuttle will pick up in front of the Mountainlair and drop off at the Towers Residential Complex from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Students can find information on the operating status of the PRT on MIX, WVU Mobile, iWVU, or through Twitter @WVUDOT. Additional transportation information is available at wvutoday.wvu.edu.

“We hope to have a fun night where WVU students can engage with the PINK brand and celebrate WVU’s school spirit,” Sylvester said. “We encourage students to wear their WVU gear and truly embrace the ‘Gold & Blue Bash’ theme.” mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

Above is one of the photos which will be featured at today’s lecture focusing on the state’s role in the Farm Security Administration during the ’30s and ’40s and the effects of poverty on the state during that time period.

Lecture examines state history by jakob potts a&e writer

The Creative Arts Center will host a lecture by artists Betty Rivard and Mark Crabtree in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall of the Creative Arts Center today at 5 p.m.

The lecture will showcase the artists’ work with the Farm Security Administration between 1935 and 1943.

Rivard will open the lecture focusing on the photographic movement during Roosevelt’s presidency.

Rivard has completed a book titled “Images of Resilience: New Deal Photographs in West Virginia” and has written articles for “Goldenseal” and “Wonderful West Virginia” magazines. She has degrees from West Virginia University in education and social work She will discuss society’s “blindness” to the poverty and depression in some of the less populated areas of the country and how Roosevelt sent out many photographers, 10 of which came to West Virginia, to capture the essence of the country.

With 1,500 photographs taken in the state, the photos depicted West Virginian’s way of everyday life.

“Not only did it show the poorer parts of the community,” Rivard said, “but it showed the everyday, average

people. You know, people going to get groceries or coming out of the coal mines or even talking on the street.”

Most of the photographs taken were later published and used as historical resources.

West Virginia is yet to have a book published with its photographs.

Rivard plans to work on producing a book showcasing about 150 photographs taken during the FSA. The majority of the lecture will be dedicated to Walker Evans’ trip through northern West Virginia during the movement.

Musical performances will also be included at the event.

The performers were also musicians during the FSA movement in West Virginia and are familiar with the time period.

Rivard said she is hoping this event will be an “eyeopener” to the public of the true beauty of our state.

Following Rivard’s introduction, Crabtree will discuss his 15 years of research on Walker Evans’ photography exhibition throughout West Virginia.

Crabtree is a local photographer and musician with a degree in journalism from WVU. He has been researching Evans’ 1935 trip to West Virginia over the past fifteen years.

Crabtree will examine the content of photographs and the technology used to cap-

ture them.

The photographs that will be displayed are pictures taken from all over the state.

“I was unaware of the fact that I drove by one of these spots on my way home everyday until about a year ago,” Rivard said.

Community members of dying coal towns and other communities will be the main focus in most of the pictures.

The event is mainly focused on proving the poverty of our state during the ’30s and ’40s was not the civilian’s fault, according to Rivard.

The lecture is open to the general public and is free of charge. jakob.potts@mail.wvu.edu

I love puzzle games.

They give you something simple to kick around in your brain, something where you’re not thinking too much but still give you a bit of a challenge to deal with.

The Professor Layton games had brought this to a new era, wrapping a small mystery around each of these puzzles, a story that is light and easy to follow.

“Professor Layton and the Curious Village” and its sequel, “Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box” did a great job of giving gamers mind teasers while also giving them a reason to progress further into fictional worlds.

Plus, everyone wore awesome hats, and that is something I have to respect.

Yet the third game, “Professor Layton and the Unwound Future” goes too deep, changing the focus to the story instead of the puzzles it is built around.

The game once again starts with Layton and his apprentice, Luke, as they go to a scientific experiment where a man proposes he

can travel through time.

However, the experiment goes haywire, resulting in a massive explosion and the disappearance of England’s Prime Minister.

After the commotion dies down, Layton and Luke receive a mysterious letter that tells them to go to a clock shop in London that somehow sends them into the future.

It is up to the two puzzle masters, as well as Luke’s future incarnation, to rescue those from the future as well as the past.

This plot is much more in depth than those featured in the previous games, where Layton investigates a city and where Layton investigates a train, respectively.

With such a twisted and convoluted plot, it can be kind of hard for the player to get into it.

It also detracts from the main purpose of the series, and, instead of solving puzzles, players are constantly watching miniature cutscenes.

Sorry, Professor, but I honestly don’t care that this girl you keep seeing in the future looks exactly like your old sweetheart.

Also, the puzzles don’t seem to have the same difficulty curve as in previous games.

361 High Street

nintendo

There are puzzles that are easy enough to solve and ones that can give headaches, with very few being in between.

Also, some of them just aren’t very good puzzles, and there was one involving a plot of land that three different people were unable to solve, all three of us college graduates who do a lot of puzzles in our free time.

That isn’t to say all of the puzzles are bad, but the ones that are bad are terrible.

The game does keep up the series’ good reputation in the use of music and charming character designs, but it feels like if you make a mistake with the main portion of the meal, it doesn’t matter what the side dishes are.

So, while those who are fans of the series will probably still enjoy this one, the previous two just do the job better.

“Professor Layton and the Unwound Future” is available now for the Nintendo DS. I really hope future entrants in the series don’t make the same mistakes as this one.

Documentary miniseries an epic tale of a terrorist, brings something new to TV NEW YORK (AP) — For three nights and nearly six mesmerizing hours, you witness a legendary terrorist on an epic scale from up-close-and-personal proximity.

The film is “Carlos,” a documentarylike dramatization of Carlos the Jackal, who even today inspires dread and fascination for his vicious attacks in Europe and the Middle East from the 1970s until his arrest as a sick, tired hasbeen in 1994.

“Carlos” airs Monday through Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Sundance Channel.

It is directed by acclaimed French filmmaker Olivier Assayas, who chronicles two decades of Carlos’ exploits in a production that trails him on three continents and numerous nations that include Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Lebanon and Morocco.

“Behind every bullet we fire, there will be an idea,” declares Carlos, who has a gift for rousing, self-serving rhetoric.

But the ideas propelling him appear to be in fierce contradiction, and adaptable as needed. He is a pro-Palestinian activist, a self-avowed champion of the oppressed against imperialists, an arms merchant, an assassin for hire, and a vain, irresistible ladies’ man.

He launches daring, even mad schemes, notably the one where he and his team take OPEC oil ministers hostage during their conference in Vienna in 1975. (A failed mission, Carlos spun it as a triumph.)

He’s an enigmatic rock star who falls victim to his own growing mystique, who reads his own press.

In the title role is Edgar Ramirez, a rising international star who has earned the growing excitement that surrounds him. His portrayal of Carlos is a heady brew of passion, raw energy, charisma and brutishness. He embodies a figure guided by dramatic impulse as much as the wisdom of history. He remains somewhat a mystery.

You cannot take your eyes off him.

“We never intended to do a biography or a docudrama on the real Carlos,” explains Ramirez, who, in person, is soft-spoken and reflective.

“Carlos was already a char-

acter fabricated by the media, by the radical groups of the time, by the governments involved, by he himself. So what we tried to do in the movie was to explore the human being that might have existed behind the myth of The Jackal.”

Carlos, who was born in Venezuela as Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, happens to share the homeland and the name Ramirez with the 33-year-old actor who plays him.

Edgar Ramirez got his start in 2003 in a Venezuelan soap opera, then, two years later, made his film debut in the Tony Scott feature “Domino.”

He was in the thriller “Vantage Point” and played the role of Paz, a Blackbriar assassin, in “The Bourne Ultimatum.”

But none of these projects imposed the challenges of “Carlos,” which he describes as “a train that just departed from one train station, and never stopped.” At least, not until production wrapped after seven grueling, nationhopping months in July 2009, leaving Ramirez physically and emotionally sapped.

Ramirez is on camera for most of the script’s 300 pages.

(An alternative two and onehalf hour version of the film will be released this month in U.S. theaters.) As the multilingual Carlos, he handles dialogue in English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic (all of which Ramirez speaks in real life, except Arabic, which he learned phonetically).

As the shoot progressed, he was also obliged to add 35 pounds of bulk to his lean, sculpted physique (the film’s final two hours were shot in sequence, he says, with his pasta-fueled pudge increasingly in evidence).

Meanwhile, he found Carlos’ phantom-like psyche tough to penetrate.

“It was hard for me to integrate and make the character mine, and justify his behavior,” Ramirez says.

He found certain scenes particularly troubling. French domestic intelligence police arrive at a Paris apartment where Carlos and other militants are drinking and singing revolutionary songs. The police have questions for Carlos.

He dismisses their concerns.

He doesn’t break a sweat. He serves one officer a whiskey.

Then he guns them down in cold blood. With feral gasps of outrage and relief, he flees.

The scene was shot in the building where such an actual ambush took place at the hand of the real Carlos, says Ramirez, who adds, “My dressing room was the actual apartment where those killings happened. That was interesting,” he says with a shudder. “That was hard.”

Ramirez describes “Carlos” as “a movie about politics, but it’s not political,” and he found to his satisfaction that the film’s director agreed.

Neither Ramirez nor Assayas (who also co-wrote the script) was able to meet the real Carlos, currently serving a life sentence in France for killing the police officers.

But Assayas, whose films include “Summer Hours” and “Clean,” has “a real and deep fascination for human nature,” Ramirez says. “He would let himself be surprised by what was happening on camera. The actors really appreciated it.”

They were grateful, too, for Assayas’ ability to keep the marathon production in efficient high-rev mode while being game to steer it, when called for, somewhere into the unknown.

Ramirez recalls a lunch break with two co-stars and Assayas before they shot a scene in Paris.

Alexander Scheer (who plays German terrorist Johannes Weinrich) confided, “Guys, I don’t really know how to play this.”

Nora Von Waldstatten chimed in, “I’m not sure how I’m going to portray (Carlos’ wife) Magdalena.”

“And I go, ‘I have no idea how to play MY character.’

“And then suddenly Olivier says, ‘I’m very happy to hear you all – because I have no idea how I’m going to shoot this scene.’”

Which, nonetheless, they all proceeded to do.

How, then, to get ready?

“You never get ready,” replied Ramirez with a laugh. He had thrown himself into the role and its historical period beforehand. Then he hit a wall.

“At a certain point, you just have to DO it.”

Otherwise you miss the exciting ride. Viewers, too. Attention, everybody, all aboard for “Carlos!”

In this image released by Warner Bros., Katherine Heigl, left, and Josh Duhamel are shown in a scene from ‘Life as We Know It.’

Heigl, Duhame’s chemistry shines in rom-com ‘Life as We Know It’ (AP) — Katherine Heigl has again been saddled with an unexpected baby, only this time, no one is going to call her parenting mate a schlub.

Unlike Heigl’s “Knocked Up” co-star, Seth Rogen, Josh Duhamel is emphatically in her league. In “Life as We Know It,” they have a good and believable chemistry as opposites pushed together through fate.

Both have handsome, movie-star presence and keep the film entertaining, even though its familiar story passes with nothing to distinguish itself from the many other similarly plotted movies and sitcoms.

Heigl (“27 Dresses,” TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy”) plays Holly Berenson, a welldressed professional — the kind of character that seems to be her specialty. As Eric Messer, Duhamel (“Transformers,” TV’s “Las Vegas”) is also a gender stereotype: the immature, promiscuous jock.

After a disastrous blind date set up by their mutual friends (Christina Hendricks, Hayes MacArthur), Holly and

Messer (as he’s called) settle into years of mutual annoyance, hardly tolerating each other as fellow godparents at weddings and birthdays.

When their friends die in a car accident, Holly and Messer are named as guardians to their baby girl. In the kind of absurd twist that only happens in romantic comedies, they accept guardianship and move into their friends’ Atlanta house in separate bedrooms.

From this point, everything proceeds exactly as you’d expect: antics with diapers; anxious speeches over kitchen sinks; and – Spoiler Alert!! –gradual heartwarming toward each other and their makeshift family.

The main contribution from director Greg Berlanti (a TV veteran who cowrote the upcoming superhero flick “Green Lantern”) and writers Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson is a simplistic, unhurried tone.

After “Knocked Up,” Heigl famously wondered if the film was sexist and painted women as humorless. But in

“Life as We Know It,” she fails badly in the scenes in which she’s given room to be funny, particularly one where she’s drunk when a case worker (Sarah Burns) visits.

Melissa McCarthy, as a polite but blunt neighbor, and Burns, seemingly mousy but also very direct, show far better comedic chops in supporting roles.

Heigl is still a pleasure to watch, though. She has a knack for smart, anxious characters, and one suspects she’ll eventually find the right romantic comedy that properly showcases her talents without hoisting motherhood on her.

It’s also a familiar genre to Duhamel, a former model whose tall, muscular build and proclivity for baseball caps make him a natural stand-in for the ESPN-addled male. He has the good sense not to depend too much on his good looks.

A sports broadcast control room operator, his big dilemma comes when he’s offered a job with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

The Russian-born musician accuses the “Braveheart” star of hitting and choking her and claims he had a gun during the January confrontation.

“I was scared for my life and my daughter’s,” she told People magazine in a story published Wednesday. “I thought he would kill me.”

Grigorieva also told the magazine she did not leak now-famous tapes purportedly of the actor in a series of racist and misogynistic rants.

Audio of the actor-director’s rants was leaked to celebrity website RadarOnline. com, which has said the tapes did not come from Grigorieva.

The recordings were made a month after the alleged physical abuse.

Gibson’s representatives did not participate in the People story and declined to comment on Grigorieva’s interview.

She did not report the alleged abuse to authorities until months later, after the couple broke up and became embroiled in a bitter custody dispute over their infant daughter.

Men’s soccer plays Elon to draw

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

Last season, the Elon men’s soccer team traveled to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium as a heavy underdog that was looking to upset West Virginia.

Elon did not pull off the upset, but it was able play the Mountaineers to a 1-1 draw as the Phoenixes’ Erfan Imeni was able to tie the con-

test with just under two minutes remaining to send it to overtime.

On Tuesday afternoon, WVU departed for Elon again as a heavy favorite, but the Mountaineers had one thing in mind on this road trip – a revenge victory.

The Mountaineers were unable to get that revenge on the Phoenix, as the two teams played to 1-1 draw again.

Play began with WVU controlling the action early as it directed four shots at the Phoenixes’ goalkeeper Clint Irwin in the opening moments.

Elon, on the other hand, did not get off to a great start offensively as it did not attempt a shot until there was less than 10 minutes remaining on the clock.

After some back and forth action to close out the first

half, it looked as if WVU was going to find the back of the net first as forward Shadow Sebele clanged a ball of the post in the opening minutes of the second stanza.

The Mountaineers’ offensive onslaught paid off almost five minutes later in the game as defender Eric Schoenle directed a header into the far corner of the net for his second goal of the season.

Schoenele’s goal was set up by a Sebele free kick. It was Sebele’s team-leading fifth assist of the season.

As time wore on, it appeared that WVU’s defense was slowly squeezing the air out of Elon for what looked like the Mountaineers’ fourth shutout in five games.

However, the Phoenix had

Sanders’ story special in Stewart’s eyes

West Virginia slot receiver Jock Sanders gets past a Louisville defender in the Mountaineers’ game against the Cardinals last season.

Senior slot receiver needs just 31 receptions to be school’s all-time leader in category

by Michael Carvelli Sports Writer

In just his second season at West Virginia, slot receiver Jock Sanders showed the nation he had what it took to be something special.

That year, the sophomore caught a team-high 53 passes and seven touchdowns, emerging as West Virginia’s third big-play threat behind Pat White and Noel Devine.

A little more than a month after the season, in which he garnered second team all-Big East Conference honors, Sanders’ career with the Mountaineers seemed to be in jeopardy.

He was arrested for driving under the influence in

early February 2009, prompting Mountaineer head coach Bill Stewart to suspend him indefinitely.

Fast-forward to the present, and Sanders is a changed man.

“That stuff ’s behind Jock Sanders now,” Stewart said.

“That’s just water under the bridge.”

Sanders served his suspension and was back with the team when it started fall camp in 2009. In his junior year, Sanders took his game to an even higher level than it was the year before. His 73 catches were the most of any West Virginia wide receiver since Darius Reynaud had 64 in 2007.

Those 73 catches ranked fourth in school history in a single

season.

Not bad considering Sanders wasn’t a wide receiver when he came to Morgantown. He spent his freshman year as a running back, but was stuck behind Steve Slaton and Devine before eventually making the move to receiver as a sophomore.

“I’m the type of guy that can be used anywhere, and that’s what the coaches saw in me,” Sanders said. “Noel was the better running back, so he played running back. But (the coaches) didn’t want to lose a guy who could make plays and sit him on the bench.”

Now, as a senior, Sanders is one of the guys his teammates, especially the younger receiv-

“I can say I’ve grown (as a person), but I can’t really see it,” Sanders said. “People have to be the judge of that. I just think I’m a guy who’s turned his life around and changed the things that I needed to change to able to live right.”

Ask Stewart, and he’d say Sanders has developed into one of the team’s best leaders.

“He’s been a dream to coach, a real joy,” Stewart said of Sanders. “He’s a guy who’s going to stay with me for the rest of my life and my coaching career because he’s been that example that if you do things right, good things will come to you.”

ers on the Mountaineers’ roster, can look up to.

“He’s showing the young guys the ropes, and he’s been a tremendous role model for our young football players,” Stewart said. “He works so hard and he works all the time. He’s one of the first to get in here and one of the last ones to leave.”

Through four games in 2010, Sanders has caught 24 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns and is just 31 receptions away from passing David Saunders record for the most in school history.

Through it all, Sanders believes he has grown since his troubles after his sophomore year, but he’ll let others be the ultimate judge of that.

WVU keeper Butler credits collegiate success to expert father

BY BRAD JOYAL SPORTS WRITER

Growing up in a sports family has its positives and negatives. Surely, it’s always better to learn a sport from one of your parents, but at the same time, it can bring added pressure.

West Virginia’s senior goal-

keeper Kerri Butler has gotten used to it, though. Butler learned the game from her father, John, who also played the position at the collegiate ranks as an all-conference performer at Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

Butler realizes that, although it may not always be easy playing the same position as a par-

ent, it has its perks, too.

It helped shape the player she is today.

“He was tough at times,” said Butler of her father. “He not only knows everything about the sport I play, but also my position. It was sometimes tough, but he taught me so much about the game.”

Butler has come a long

way since her freshman season when she entered her first game against Connecticut.

Since then, she hasn’t looked back. She has rarely not been between the posts for the Mountaineers and has established herself as one of WVU’s all-time greatest goalkeepers.

Butler has appeared in 70 collegiate contests, starting 68 of them. Through the first 12 games of this season, the Fredericksburg, Va., native has recorded five shutouts to tie her predecessor Lana Bannerman (2003-2006) with the school record of 36.

“I’ve definitely grown tremendously,” Butler said.

“When I went in as a freshman, I really didn’t know what I was doing. I was just a little, scared

Heisman still up in the air Just six weeks into the college football season, it may be too early to talk about the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy.

But, of course, it’s always fun to speculate.

Conference play has just begun in most cases, and a lot can happen over the next two months that will determine who will win college football’s most coveted award.

That being said, let’s take a look at who has set themselves apart from the rest of the field just one-third of the way into the season: Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan There is no doubt Robinson has been an early surprise for the Wolverines as he leads the nation with 905 rushing yards, while passing for 1,008 yards and seven touchdowns.

He has looked like Pat White 2.0, and he has piloted Michigan to a 5-0 start.

All of this is good, but I won’t be sold on Robinson until the Wolverines play the heart of their Big Ten Conference schedule.

Games against Michigan State, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State will go a long way in either helping or hurting Robinson’s Heisman chances.

Odds: 5:1 Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State One of the most highly recruited players in college football history, Pryor has never really lived up to the hype that was attached to him coming out of high school.

This season, though, Pryor is putting together one of his best campaigns, all while leading the Buckeyes to a 5-0 start.

Pryor has been involved in 16 of Ohio State’s touchdowns (12 passing, three rushing and one receiving) including six against Eastern Michigan.

Just like Robinson, a solid performance in conference play will dictate where Pryor lands.

Odds: 8:1 LaMichael James, RB, Oregon The Oregon offense is ridiculous this season, scoring 42 points or more in every game and averaged an NCAA-best 56.6 points per game.

James has been one of the key cogs of the offense, as he has run for a total of 712 yards and seven touchdowns while playing in just four of the team’s five games.

If the Ducks keep up the same pace offensively, James is going to have a huge year statiscally.

Odds: 12:1 Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State It would be fair to say that until this season, the Broncos were not viewed as a national title contender.

Many saw them as a Cinderella of sorts.

One of the key ingredients to Boise State’s success is Moore, who should have merited a little more attention for the Heisman last season.

Moore is on pace to have a repeat of his 39-touchdown and three-interception 2009 season, as he currently has 11 touchdowns and one interception.

Odds: 18:1 Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama If winning the Stanley Cup two years in a row is the toughest achievement in sports, then winning the Heisman in backto-back years is close behind.

Ingram’s season got off to a bit of a rough start as he had knee surgery and missed his team’s first two games.

Last year’s Heisman winner regained his form in victories over Duke and Arkansas with more than 150 yards rushing in each game, but it may already be too late for Ingram.

Another national championship run in the SEC may make him a sleeper pick.

Odds: 25:1 Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia Heading into the 2010 season, it was no secret the Mountaineers were going to run their talented senior a lot, and if Devine capitalized, he would be in store for a big year.

Through four games this season, Devine has a total of 391

In just his second season at West Virginia, slot receiver Jock Sanders showed the nation he had what it took to be something special.

That year, the sophomore caught a team-high 53 passes and seven touchdowns, emerging as West Virginia’s third big-play threat behind Pat White and Noel Devine.

A little more than a month after the season, in which he garnered second team all-Big East Conference honors, Sanders’ career with the Mountaineers seemed to be in jeopardy.

He was arrested for driving under the influence in

early February 2009, prompting Mountaineer head coach Bill Stewart to suspend him indefinitely.

Fast-forward to the present, and Sanders is a changed man.

“That stuff ’s behind Jock Sanders now,” Stewart said.

“That’s just water under the bridge.”

Sanders served his suspension and was back with the team when it started fall camp in 2009. In his junior year, Sanders took his game to an even higher level than it was the year before. His 73 catches were the most of any West Virginia wide receiver since Darius Reynaud had 64 in 2007.

Those 73 catches ranked fourth in school history in a single

season.

Not bad considering Sanders wasn’t a wide receiver when he came to Morgantown. He spent his freshman year as a running back, but was stuck behind Steve Slaton and Devine before eventually making the move to receiver as a sophomore.

“I’m the type of guy that can be used anywhere, and that’s what the coaches saw in me,” Sanders said. “Noel was the better running back, so he played running back. But (the coaches) didn’t want to lose a guy who could make plays and sit him on the bench.”

Now, as a senior, Sanders is one of the guys his teammates, especially the younger receiv-

“I can say I’ve grown (as a person), but I can’t really see it,” Sanders said. “People have to be the judge of that. I just think I’m a guy who’s turned his life around and changed the things that I needed to change to able to live right.”

Ask Stewart, and he’d say Sanders has developed into one of the team’s best leaders.

“He’s been a dream to coach, a real joy,” Stewart said of Sanders. “He’s a guy who’s going to stay with me for the rest of my life and my coaching career because he’s been that example that if you do things right, good things will come to you.”

ers on the Mountaineers’ roster, can look up to.

“He’s showing the young guys the ropes, and he’s been a tremendous role model for our young football players,” Stewart said. “He works so hard and he works all the time. He’s one of the first to get in here and one of the last ones to leave.”

Through four games in 2010, Sanders has caught 24 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns and is just 31 receptions away from passing David Saunders record for the most in school history.

Through it all, Sanders believes he has grown since his troubles after his sophomore year, but he’ll let others be the ultimate judge of that.

WVU keeper Butler credits collegiate success to expert father

BY BRAD JOYAL SPORTS WRITER

Growing up in a sports family has its positives and negatives. Surely, it’s always better to learn a sport from one of your parents, but at the same time, it can bring added pressure.

West Virginia’s senior goal-

keeper Kerri Butler has gotten used to it, though. Butler learned the game from her father, John, who also played the position at the collegiate ranks as an all-conference performer at Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

Butler realizes that, although it may not always be easy playing the same position as a par-

ent, it has its perks, too.

It helped shape the player she is today.

“He was tough at times,” said Butler of her father. “He not only knows everything about the sport I play, but also my position. It was sometimes tough, but he taught me so much about the game.”

Butler has come a long

way since her freshman season when she entered her first game against Connecticut.

Since then, she hasn’t looked back. She has rarely not been between the posts for the Mountaineers and has established herself as one of WVU’s all-time greatest goalkeepers.

Butler has appeared in 70 collegiate contests, starting 68 of them. Through the first 12 games of this season, the Fredericksburg, Va., native has recorded five shutouts to tie her predecessor Lana Bannerman (2003-2006) with the school record of 36.

“I’ve definitely grown tremendously,” Butler said.

“When I went in as a freshman, I really didn’t know what I was doing. I was just a little, scared

Losses against top teams not hurting UNLV’s confidence UNLV SCOUTING REPORT

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

BRIAN KUPPELWEISER sports writer

Heisman still up in the air Just six weeks into the college football season, it may be too early to talk about the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy.

But, of course, it’s always fun to speculate.

Conference play has just begun in most cases, and a lot can happen over the next two months that will determine who will win college football’s most coveted award.

That being said, let’s take a look at who has set themselves apart from the rest of the field just one-third of the way into the season: Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan There is no doubt Robinson has been an early surprise for the Wolverines as he leads the nation with 905 rushing yards, while passing for 1,008 yards and seven touchdowns.

He has looked like Pat White 2.0, and he has piloted Michigan to a 5-0 start.

All of this is good, but I won’t be sold on Robinson until the Wolverines play the heart of their Big Ten Conference schedule.

Games against Michigan State, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State will go a long way in either helping or hurting Robinson’s Heisman chances.

Odds: 5:1 Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State One of the most highly recruited players in college football history, Pryor has never really lived up to the hype that was attached to him coming out of high school.

This season, though, Pryor is putting together one of his best campaigns, all while leading the Buckeyes to a 5-0 start.

Pryor has been involved in 16 of Ohio State’s touchdowns (12 passing, three rushing and one receiving) including six against Eastern Michigan.

Just like Robinson, a solid performance in conference play will dictate where Pryor lands.

Odds: 8:1 LaMichael James, RB, Oregon The Oregon offense is ridiculous this season, scoring 42 points or more in every game and averaged an NCAA-best 56.6 points per game.

James has been one of the key cogs of the offense, as he has run for a total of 712 yards and seven touchdowns while playing in just four of the team’s five games.

If the Ducks keep up the same pace offensively, James is going to have a huge year statiscally.

Odds: 12:1 Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State It would be fair to say that until this season, the Broncos were not viewed as a national title contender.

Many saw them as a Cinderella of sorts.

One of the key ingredients to Boise State’s success is Moore, who should have merited a little more attention for the Heisman last season.

Moore is on pace to have a repeat of his 39-touchdown and three-interception 2009 season, as he currently has 11 touchdowns and one interception.

Odds: 18:1 Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama If winning the Stanley Cup two years in a row is the toughest achievement in sports, then winning the Heisman in backto-back years is close behind.

Ingram’s season got off to a bit of a rough start as he had knee surgery and missed his team’s first two games.

Last year’s Heisman winner regained his form in victories over Duke and Arkansas with more than 150 yards rushing in each game, but it may already be too late for Ingram.

Another national championship run in the SEC may make him a sleeper pick.

Odds: 25:1 Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia Heading into the 2010 season, it was no secret the Mountaineers were going to run their talented senior a lot, and if Devine capitalized, he would be in store for a big year.

Through four games this season, Devine has a total of 391

see KUPPELWEISER on PAGE 9

QUARTERBACKS Omar Clayton has 748 yards and five touchdowns in five games this year. He is also a strong threat to run. He has been more consistent in his last two games (four touchdowns).

GRADE: B-

When UNLV coach Bobby Hauck envisioned his first year as an FBS football coach, it likely didn’t pan out like this.

Hauck, who took over the Rebels’ program in December 2009 from departed coach Mike Sanford, has led his team to a disappointing 1-4 record in 2010. He thought a poor record was a possibility after looking at the schedule in the offseason.

“There’s been no surprises, really,” Hauck said. “I had an idea going in that those teams were going to be pretty good.”

UNLV is coming off a 44-26 loss to No. 25 Nevada. The team also started the season with three-straight losses to Wisconsin, Utah and Idaho. The Rebels’ lone win has come against New Mexico – a 45-10 victory.

“We just need to play better, and one of the things I’m seeing is the people that we’re playing are pretty good.

They’re good teams. They’re fighting to win, too,” Hauck said.

Now, it’s his job to try to turn around the Rebels’ season with a win. It will be tougher since UNLV’s next game comes three time zones away on Saturday afternoon when it faces WVU. While his players are excited to play the Mountaineers (3-1), Hauck said it’s harder to build a program when it faces such high-caliber teams each week.

“When you’re trying to build things, it’s difficult to play the type of schedule we’ve played,” Hauck said. “When it’s uphill every week, it’s hard.”

Hauck called the Mountaineers the “fastest team we’ve seen.”

“I get more excited every week because we keep getting better, and we get to play these big teams,” said UNLV senior Calvin Randleman. “This is what I dreamed of. This is what a lot of guys on the team have worked for. This is why we go through what we go through during the preseason and during camp – to play in this type of atmosphere.

“We are going to take full advantage of this opportunity and play to the best of our ability.”

A factor Hauck and his team are preparing for is the 60,000 fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. A few of UNLV’s players played in front of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium crowd in 2007 – a 20-13 loss. Hauck, who has not coached in Milan Puskar Stadium, said he believes it will be louder than the crowd at Wisconsin.

“Morgantown is known for being loud and their fans are passionate about the game. It’s a cool place to play.

I have not been there but have talked to a bunch of people who have both worked there and been there,” Hauck said. “We have a couple of guys on our staff that have been there, so it’s a neat place.”

While Hauck is worried about the challenge, UNLV’s players are excited about the opportunity to play in front of West Virginia’s crowd.

“I’m excited. It’s what Division I football is all about – going to play in front of a big crowd, a big stadium, big team. It’s going to be fun,” Randleman said. “We’re going to play well.” anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Elon’s Stephen Dilger knotted the contest at one with just 12 seconds remaining on the clock in regulation to give the Mountaineers flashbacks of last season’s contest.

The Phoenixes’ goal came when Dilger cleaned up a loose ball in the box and placed the ball behind goalkeeper Zach Johnson in the back right corner of the net.

Action picked up again in overtime as the Mountaineers seemed to use the game-tying goal as a source of motivation, but it was all for naught.

Butler has proven she is a winner from her first season when she stood tall in the net and led the Mountaineers to the program’s first Big East Conference Championship.

In the Big East Finals, Butler made head coach Nikki IzzoBrown aware of her next goalkeeper, denying the Hermann Trophy winner, Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks, in a PK shootout. The team’s success carried over to the NCAA Tournament where it advanced to the Elite Eight.

Since then, Butler is taking in her success and said it was a

yards rushing and two touchdowns, but he has yet to rip off his trademark long scampers.

WVU may end up being the favorite to win the Big East Conference heading into conference play, and Devine may get a boost if the Mountaineers run the table from here on out.

If Devine is to get back in the Heisman picture again, he must be the key factor in his team’s success.

Odds: 65:1 brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

RUNNING BACKS The Rebels have four running backs with more than 100 yards rushing (including Clayton) led by starter Channing Trotter. Outside of Clayton, UNLV had just 32 yards rushing vs. Nevada.

GRADE: BRECEIVERS Clayton has two premiere targets to throw to at the receiver positions in juniors Phillip Payne and Michael Johnson. The two have combined for 46 receptions, 695 yards and five touchdowns in 2010. GRADE: B OFFENSIVE LINE The Rebels start two sophomores on the offensive line who have started all five of the team’s games this season. The other three starters are veteran seniors. Overall, the line is averaging 3.4 sacks per game. GRADE: C DEFENSIVE LINE This unit does not have a game-breaker, and as a unit, it is relatively undersized. But, Isaako Aaitui and B.J. Bell do have some upside and athleticism. GRADE: BLINEBACKERS Seniors Ronnie Paulo and Starr Fuimaono lead a relatively inexperienced and slim group of linebackers. Those two have 55 career starts combined. GRADE: BSECONDARY Cornerback Will Chandler is tied for the lead across the nation with four interceptions in 2010. Outside of him, though, the Rebels are fairly inexperienced and, again, lack depth at the position. GRADE: B SPECIAL TEAMS Punter Brendon Lamers is averaging 38.5 yards per boot. Freshman kicker Nolan Kohorst has made four of five field goal attempts and has a relatively strong leg – making two 50-plus yard field goals in high school. GRADE: BCOACHING Head coach Bobby Hauck is in his first year with the UNLV program, and it hasn’t gone too well.

While he is 1-4 this season, he has been a consistent winner while at Montana. GRADE: C+ UNLV’s Tim Cornett, right, carries the football against Nevada during the the Rebels’ loss to Nevada Oct. 2.

an advantage in corner kicks, 5-2.

Schoenle was later ejected from the match when he received a red card.

Due to the red card, Schoenle will have to sit out the Mountaineers’ next contest.

Johnson made six saves in the game, upping his career total to 255 saves, which is good for fourth all-time in team history.

With the draw, WVU now moves to 5-3-2 on the season, and they will head home to take on Notre Dame.

With the contest against the Fighting Irish, it begins a stretch of seven straight Big East Conference games for the Mountaineers. brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

privilege to know she will be remembered after she graduates from WVU this year.

“It’s definitely an honor to be at the top of a lot of the goalkeeper categories,” Butler said.

“There have been so many great goalkeepers, so to be remembered as one of the best to come through WVU is definitely an honor.”

Butler won’t ever forget her roots, though. She remembers the days of youth soccer when her father would help improve her game after each contest.

“He was my first goalkeeper coach,” Butler said. “He made sure he let me know everything I was doing wrong after games.

He really helped me a lot and made me into the goalkeeper I am today.” brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

(AP) — Cliff Lee, postseason ace for hire.

Picking up where he left off during in a dazzling October run a year ago, Lee shut down the Tampa Bay Rays while outpitching David Price and leading the Texas Rangers to a 5-1 victory Wednesday in the opening game of the AL playoffs.

“I like pitching on a big stage,” Lee said. “Just pitching in the big leagues alone is an honor, but when you get an opportunity to make it to the postseason that’s what it’s all about. That’s what you play all year for. I enjoy it, and I try to have fun with it.”

These days, no pitcher is doing it better.

Lee matched a postseason best with 10 strikeouts while allowing five hits – just two after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. During one dominating stretch, he retired 16 of 17 batters before giving up Ben Zobrist’s homer in the seventh.

“It’s not time to sit here and pat myself on the back. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Lee said.

“I feel good about helping us get off to a good start, and hopefully I can continue to do the same.

That’s what I expect to do.”

Game 2 is Thursday with lefthander C.J. Wilson taking the mound for Texas against righthander James Shields, who hasn’t won since Aug. 29.

Lee improved to 5-0 in six career postseason starts. He went

WVU rowing competes in Head of Ohio

BY DEREK DENNENY SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia rowing team will open its season Saturday when it travels to Pittsburgh to participate in the Head of Ohio race.

The all-day event will take place on the Ohio River, and although the race will not count towards the team’s record, WVU head coach Jimmy King feels the race is a good way to open up the fall season.

“The race is a great opportunity for our team to get some valuable experience in,” he said.

“It gives us a chance to see how far we’ve come since starting our training over a month ago.”

The Mountaineers will participate in the 4+ and 8+ boat races.

King said he is pleased with the fact his team will get to race some of the more competitive teams in the region including Pitt, Carnegie-Mellon and Duquesne.

“We will get to race some quality teams this weekend,” King said. “We will see what we need to work on, and it will give us a chance to find our strengths.”

Though King feels there can’t be one individual to keep an eye on this weekend, he is looking for his team to show their training has paid off.

“In this sport, we do not have

individuals that stand out,” he said. “We don’t have goal scorers or quarterbacks or anything like that. It is truly a team sport.

We are only as strong as our weakest link.”

King is looking to use this race to prepare for the spring, when the races count.

“The fall races just really help us prepare for the spring,” he said.

“It is a good chance to get some competition-level practice in and will give us an idea of how hard we have worked.

We can get some real good work in now before the results start counting come spring.” derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Pitcher throws second no-hitter in postseason history

SYRACUSE vs. USF

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Talk about a postseason debut.

Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL division series on Wednesday.

Don Larsen is the only other pitcher to throw a postseason no-hitter. He threw a perfect game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series against Brooklyn. The 54th anniversary of Larsen’s gem is this Friday.

“It’s surreal, it really is,” Halladay said. “I just wanted to pitch here, to pitch in the postseason.

To go out and have a game like that, it’s a dream come true.”

Halladay took the Year of the Pitcher into the postseason.

PITT vs. NOTRE DAME

Halladay, who tossed a perfect game at Florida on May 29, dominated the Reds with a sharp fastball and a devastating slow curve in his first playoff start.

The All-Star right-hander allowed only runner, walking Jay Bruce on a full count with two outs in the fifth, and struck out eight.

Halladay spent 12 seasons with Toronto, far from the postseason. A trade last offseason brought him to the defending two-time NL champions.

With a sellout crowd standing in the ninth and chanting “Let’s Go, Doc!” Halladay got a loud ovation when he jogged to the mound to start the inning.

Ramon Hernandez popped

out to second baseman Chase Utley for the first out. Pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo then fouled out to third baseman Wilson Valdez.

Halladay then retired Brandon Phillips on a tapper in front of the plate to end it. Catcher Carlos Ruiz pounced on the ball and threw Phillips out.

Halladay pumped his fist into his glove as Ruiz rushed to the mound. Just like catcher Yogi Berra did with Larsen, Ruiz started to jump into Halladay’s arms. Unlike Berra, Ruiz didn’t wrap up his pitcher in a bear hug.

“I felt like we got in a groove early,” Halladay said. “Carlos has been great all year, he helps me get into a rhythm early, throwing strikes.”
