    The West Virginia Uni-versity Student Government Association passed a resolu-tion Wednesday evening that will allow students to provide more input to the office of the Provost.

    SGA Governor Ryan Cam-pione suggested an under-graduate student think tank that would provide students with an opportunity to give

    Linda Halls Turkish Bazaar raises funds for less fortunate in TurkeyBy ashley tennant

    For Linda Hall, her annual Turkish Bazaar is not about making a profit its about touching the lives of children across the globe.

    Arts Monongahela is currently hosting Linda Halls Turkish Bazaar. The preview sale began Tues-day, and the event ends Saturday.

    The bazaar features a variety of handcrafted items from Turkey, including silk scarves, purses, jewelry, blankets and pearls.

    Some eyes display spectac-ular creativity with mirror, scanning or telephoto op-tics. Some eyes are merely curiosities, while others of-fer the finest visual potential packed into a small space, limited only by the laws of

    diffraction or physiological optics.

    Every living animal to-day has an eye that fits it perfectly.

    The evolution of the eye is an excellent example of how animals bodies have evolved and become more complex throughout hun-dreds of thousands of years, he said.

    A question-and-an-swer session will follow the lecture.

    The presentation will take place at 5-6 p.m. in Ming Hsieh Hall Room G21. It is free and open to the public.

    the bazaar, and I brought a few things back, and my teacher friends all wanted them and asked for more.

    Hall travels to the school in Istanbul to help the chil-dren once per year during her visits.

    We always bring things back. I used to sell the items in my home, but I outgrew my home, and Arts Monongahela and Jeannie Kuhn were kind enough to offer me this space, she said.

    Linda Halls Turkish Ba-zaar happens twice a year: once during the holiday season and once in the spring.

    We call it the Turkish Bazaar, because everything is mainly from Turkey, but actually there are many things from neighboring countries as well, includ-ing China, Hall said. Is-tanbul is the trade cen-ter for Europe and Asia, so they get many things in from places and sell

    them. They have wonder-ful craftsmen.

    Hall said a lot of peo-ple benefit from the Turk-ish Bazaar, including the women who make the scarves, jewelry and other items.

    The vendors in Turkey who I buy these things from of course benefit, she said. I bring the things home, and I sell them; some of the profits from what I get, I invest in the packets that I make for the children in Turkey.

    Hall said the biggest re-ward for her is being able to provide for the children at the school in Turkey.

    I make about 80 pack-ets, and thats a good bit of money when you consider every child gets 10 new pencils, a box of crayons, and a spiral notebook with notebook paper in it. This year, all children got a pair of winter gloves, she said.

    One year, we gave har-monicas, because some-one once said, you are never alone if you have a harmonica in your pocket, so we are always taking

    new and fun gifts to the children each time.

    Hall said she believes the people who purchase items from her bazaar ben-efit as well.

    She said they are getting unique items at a fraction of what the price would be set in the United States.

    Its all relevant as far as economy. In Turkey, a loaf of bread is typically 9 cents, and the average school-teacher there makes about $4,000 a year, so its just a big difference.

    Jeannie Kuhn, Executive Director of Arts Mononga-hela said she enjoys the event, the relationships and the cause it gives to.

    This has actually be-come not only a great shopping opportunity, but also a social activity. A lot of the women that have come here if they werent friends when they came in the door, they were friends when they left, she said. Its just an enjoyable event for everybody. I think its really nice that Linda is offering this for the com-munity, and it benefits us and I think, everyone else involved.

    Hall said she looks for-ward to the bazaar each year, as she believes there is nothing more reward-ing than making a differ-ence in the lives of those in need.

    I have a very strong Christian faith, but I am not in Turkey as a mission-ary, but there for the chil-dren, and they are in need, and thats all I care about. And if someday someones bad mouthing Americans, and someone says, I knew some Americans, and they were nice, I think thats the biggest payback I could have, Hall said.

    Linda Halls Turkish Bazaar continues through Saturday at Arts Monon-gahela, 201 High Street, Morgantown.

    Fink said writing her book served as a form of therapy, and now it is a form of therapy for women, not only in West Virginia but across the country.

    It shows victims that escaping, staying away and recovering is a struggle, but that its definitely possible, she said. It also lets fam-ily, friends and commu-nity members know just how much a survivor needs their help before, during and after the escape.

    Fink said the Young Womens Christian Associ-ation helped her through-out recovery and is now helping her spread the word. The organization has purchased 400 copies to give to other women in need.

    Fink said Silent No More has served as her safe haven and a form of help for other women deal-ing with the same situation and situations even more extreme.

    A few years ago, the di-

    rector of the YWCA came to me and said that in support group, one of the women said it was my book that finally motivated her to leave her abuser, she said. Wow. When I was writing Silent No More, I never dreamed it would be helping people make ma-jor changes in their lives; I just wanted to help peo-ple understand more about domestic violence.

    Fink has firsthand expe-rience with the difficulties one encounters when leav-ing an abusive partner.

    Ive come a long way. Eight years ago, I was in a controlling marriage, ter-rified most days, feeling hopeless and helpless ev-ery day. Today, Im a pub-lished author, the wife of a wonderful, caring man and the mother of two beautiful babies, she said.

    Fink currently serves on the board of directors at the YWCA and is active in fun-draising for victims of do-mestic violence and speak-ing to groups that would benefit from her story.

    I love it, she said. I know that something I say

    that day is going to make a difference for someone. And what if today is the day that sparks energy that leads to some major head-way in eliminating domes-tic violence? So I keep do-ing it.

    Fink not only advocates for women dealing with domestic violence, but she encourages other people to lend a helping hand to the situation. She said she can-not do it single-handedly.

    We have to help each other, she said. Many pieces must be in place be-fore the puzzle of escape and recovery can come to-gether. Which piece of the puzzle are you holding? Someone needs it to com-plete the picture.

    Fink said she wants those dealing with domestic vio-lence to realize the power they have and that they can leave that abusive person.

    I want people to decide to be silent no more, she said.

    PAtrIck Gorrell/the dAIly AtheNAeumChillWELL provides students with an electronic liveWELL calendar to assist with scheduling.

    Wythe Woods/the dAIly AtheNAeumLinda Halls Turkish Bazaar raises funds for less fortunate children in Turkey through the sale of jewelry and other items.

    accessible through the chillWELL website on well-WVUs health promotion site that allows students to block out time slots for specific activities such as sleeping, eating, socializ-ing, studying, relaxing and other miscellaneous activ-ities, while giving feedback on changes you could make to your schedule to de-crease stress and promote more healthy activities.

    The liveWELL calen-dar gives you a good idea of what youre doing every day and how you are managing your own time whether you realize it or not, according to Lincoln Hall Resident As-sistant John Lucas.

    One of the partici-pants learning to use the liveWELL calendar was freshman Emma Umstot.

    I would use it just to plan out how I will study, she said.

    Umstot was using her calendar to plan her finals week.

    Im just going to sepa-rate it out into studying for one final for two hours, then incorporating something stress relieving like exercise so I dont get bogged down from studying, she said.

    Lincoln Halls well-ness coordinator, Lauren Gerchufsky is actively in-volved with the wellWVU programs.

    I do a lot of different programs in Lincoln, and a lot of them are wellness-related, but these specific

    WELLWVU ones are more educational, where the stu-dents get their messages on why its not good for them to drink and why its good to take care of your body, she said. Its helpful to us, because I dont have the training and all the things wellWVU does to get these messages across, and these are the really important ones the messages the stu-dents need to know.

    The liveWELL campaign is informative and posi-tively influencing the life-styles of those interested, and the liveWELL calen-dar helps maintain those choices.

    WVU student body more ac-curately than efforts in the past.

    Another resolution read by Governor Dillon Knox and Governor Kylie Sphar Wednesday evening dis-cussed a possible alcohol amnesty program for the University.

    Under this program, any student that is intoxicated or has a friend that is intox-icated and needs help, can call and receive amnesty from any charges that have to do with alcohol and un-derage consumption, Knox said.

    According to Knox, the is-sue of providing amnesty for those using illegal drugs was

    also discussed, but he be-lieves the resolution would not pass if illegal drugs were included in the effort.

    Knox said four of the ten Big 12 institutions have in-stituted a Good Samari-tan policy, similar to his initiative.

    The program would pro-vide amnesty for both the caller and the student who may need medial attention. It will be a West Virginia Uni-versity policy only not a policy at the county or state level, he said.

    WVU Registrar Steve Rob-inson also spoke at Wednes-days meeting regarding a new method for online class registration, which is sched-uled to go live Dec. 5.

    Within a matter of days, we are hopefully making registration for classes much

    easier than it is today, Rob-inson said.

    Robinson discussed some issues with the current regis-tration process, including the fact that www.courses.wvu.edu, the current scheduling method, is not live. Robin-son said this means the pro-gram can have a lag time of nearly six minutes at times.

    The new program will be available to students within MIX, which, according to Robinson, will prevent the toggling back and forth be-tween different sites.

    The days of having to jot down CRNs and move them to MIX will hopefully be gone, Robinson said. This will hopefully shine a brighter light on WVUs reg-istration process.

    Safety Not Guaranteed mixes comedy, romance and science fiction to form an unconventional com-ing-of-age story about two stunted loners who are des-perate for a chance to turn back the clock.

    The film is produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, cre-ators The Puffy Chair and Jeff Who Lives At Home. Its written by Derek Con-nolly and directed by Colin Trevorrow, both of whom are fairly new to the motion picture scene.

    A truly heartwarming tale, Safety Not Guaran-teed tells the story of a lonely, jaded young intern for a Seattle magazine who develops an unusual inter-est in the subject of one of their stories.

    Darius, played by Au-brey Plaza (Parks and Recreation), is attracted to a story about a man who places a personal ad in the newspaper seeking a part-ner with whom to travel in time.

    The ad reads: Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. Youll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guar-anteed. I have only done this once before.

    After pitching the idea at a meeting, Jeff (Jake John-son, The New Girl) ac-cepts Darius and Arnau (Karan Soni) as intern as-sistants for the story. The three then travel to Ocean View, Wash., to go under-cover and answer the ad.

    Although the scenario begins as a form of ridi-cule, Darius involvement with Kenneth, the self-proclaimed time traveler (played by The Leagues

    Mark Duplass), soon de-velops into a much stron-ger relationship.

    Initially, the two seem to bond as a result of their shared affinity for eccen-tricities. After a while, how-ever, it becomes evident thats not the only thing they share.

    Kenneth lives alone and works as a grocer, even though he claims to be very intelligent. He almost seems to live like a child, which adds to the magic of

    his possibly make-believe world.

    Darius lives with her fa-ther, even though she is a college graduate. Like Ken-neth, she seems unable or unwilling to develop into a real adult. Both Dar-ius and Kenneth are emo-tionally stunted individu-als rooted in their past, and their joint quest to go back in time to change their lives brings them closer than theyve been with anyone before.

    One of the major draws of this movie is the acting. Aubrey Plazas demeanor in the film perfectly mirrors Darius bleak outlook on life. Plaza plays her usual sarcastic and mopey char-acter, but this time there lies a genuine hopefulness that will ultimately cause you to fall in love despite the sour look on her face.

    Similarly, Mark Duplass brings more to this role than Ive seen of him in any other film or television

    show. I wasnt aware he possessed this much emo-tional depth or could por-tray it quite so beautifully.

    The juxtaposition of these two character types is definitely one of the best components of this story. Darius downtrodden hopefulness, paired with Kenneths unwavering be-lief in the impossible, cre-ates a beautiful friendship that leads them both to re-examine the definition of true happiness.

    Whether youre a fan of comedy, romance, science fiction or just good stories, this movie is a great choice.

    It will take you on your own journey through time, back to adolescent feel-ings of curiosity and sincere wonderment of the world to a place where anything seems possible.

    Chicago musical is nothing short of amazingmadeliNe carey

    a&e writer

    The six-time Tony Award winning musical Chicago stopped at Pittsburghs Heinz Hall this weekend on its national tour.

    The Grammy Award-winning show, which was also made into a major mo-tion picture starring Rich-ard Gere, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, won six Oscars in 2003, in-cluding best picture.

    One of Broadways most beloved musicals, Chi-cago has every aspect needed to formulate an amazing musical.

    Set in the 1920s, Chi-cago follows the life of Roxie Hart, a vixen who grew up dreaming of being a dancer and was recently imprisoned for murder.

    of the tale takes place in a womens prison in Chi-cago where Hart serves her time while awaiting her trial for the murder of her lover.

    She wont be locked up for long, though, if she can convince Billy Flynn,

    the most crooked lawyer money can buy, to take her case.

    The musical that the New York Theatre calls a clas-sic saying, Its the show you can always count on to give you the thrills and memories that only come from seeing a Broadway musical.

    While the show started with an astounding perfor-mance of one of the shows most popular songs, All That Jazz, a different song was the obvious crowd pleaser.

    Cell Block Tango, a number in which women clad in only lingerie and netting sing of the murders of their lovers and their in-disputable innocence, has been the shows most pop-ular song since its 1975 incarnation.

    Though its choreography was perfect, the dancers left more to be desired, remi-niscent of your high school spring musical.

    Nonetheless, Ron Or-bach who played Amos Hart, Roxies oblivious husband performed the

    shows famous Mister Cellophane with a confi-dence and authenticity that he had the entire audience rooting against the blonde bombshell who had broken his heart.

    The true star of the show was Kecia Lewis-Ev-

    ans, who played Matron Mama Morton, the war-den of the Cook County Jail.

    While Queen Latifah gave an Oscar Award nom-inated performance of the role, Evans was able to out-shine the hip-hop artist on every level.

    Evans rendition of When Youre Good to Mama had the entire the-atre on their feet with applause.

    Chicago isnt the only Broadway show to tour through Pittsburgh, though.

    Catch Me If You Can,

    Les Miserables and The Book of Mormon, the show that turned Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park into modern-day Sond-heims, are also making stops in Pittsburgh in 2013.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge dealt a blow Wednesday to a Califor-nia law meant to crack down on reckless driv-ing by paparazzi by saying the statute is overly broad and should not be used against the first photog-rapher charged under its provisions.

    Superior Court Judge Thomas Rubinson dis-missed counts filed under the law against Paul Raef, who was charged in July with being involved in a high-speed pursuit of Jus-tin Bieber.

    The 2010 law raised the penalty for those who drive dangerously in pur-suit of photos for commer-cial gain.

    The offense is punish-able by six months in jail and a $2,500 fine but went unused until Raef was in-volved in the freeway chase of Bieber that topped 80 mph and prompted sev-eral 911 calls.

    Raef still faces tradi-tional reckless driving counts and has not yet en-tered a plea.

    The judge cited numer-ous problems with the pa-parazzi statute, saying it was aimed at newsgather-

    ing activities protected by the First Amendment, and lawmakers should have simply increased the pen-alties for reckless driving rather than targeting ce-lebrity photographers.

    He also said the law could be used against photographers rushing to shoot a wedding or po-litical rally, or even a pri-vate citizen such as him-self on the way to an event that might generate photos worth selling.

    Assistant City Attor-ney Ann Rosenthal said hours after the ruling that her office would appeal. The judge put the case on hold until the appeal is resolved.

    Rubinsons ruling only affects Raef s case, but the law could be struck down completely by the appel-late court, said Brad Kai-serman, an attorney for Raef.

    Kaiserman argued the statute was unconstitu-tional and meant to pro-tect celebrities, not the public.

    This discrimination sets a dangerous prece-dent, he said.

    Prosecutors countered that the law could be ap-

    plied to people in other professions, not just the media.

    The focus is not the photo. The focus is on the driving, Rosenthal argued.

    While the media is granted freedom under the First Amendment, its lati-tude to gather news is not unlimited, she said.

    This activity has been found to be partic-ularly dangerous, she said of chases involving paparazzi.

    Prosecutors should fo-cus on using existing laws, including reckless driving and false imprisonment statutes, to tackle aggres-sive behavior by celebrity photographers, said Doug Mirell, a First Amendment attorney.

    I think that celebrities who are being stalked or chased by paparazzi are entitled to be concerned about their personal safety and the safety of their fam-ilies when these events occur, Mirell said. But I think that theres a le-gitimate question about whether the Legislature took the right path in try-ing to accommodate those concerns.

    He said the judges con-

    cerns about having other members of the public caught up in the case is valid, and any law that spe-cifically targets newsgath-ering efforts will prove more difficult to win than a case filed using tradi-tional laws.

    The law used to charge Raef was influenced by the experiences of Jenni-fer Aniston, who provided details to a lawmaker on being unable to drive away after she was surrounded by paparazzi on Pacific Coast Highway.

    Last week, after a long and difficult battle full of name-calling, mudsling-ing and general conflict, a monumental event oc-curred in America and Im not talking about Obamas re-election.

    In the wake of the elec-tion, Maine, Maryland and Washington all voted to le-galize gay marriage. Cur-rently, nine U.S. states and our nations capital allow same-sex marriages, as well as 11 other countries worldwide.

    But while the Obama vs. Romney debate lives on, the issue of gay rights seems to have been swept under the rug in favor of sore losers and arrogant winners, still talking about our re-elected president.

    In the meantime, gay rights in our country are ig-nored. In a nation that has always promoted forward thinking, equal rights and acceptance, the U.S. is fall-ing behind in these regards while countries like Can-ada and Spain have sup-ported marriage regard-less of sexual preference for nearly eight years now.

    The apparent success of these countries, uninhib-

    ited by their liberal views on gay marriage, should be enough to spur the move-ment further in the land of the free, yet many U.S. citizens promptly dig their heels in the ground when the topic is brought up or when election year rolls around.

    The primary prob-lem with two men or two women getting married seems to be the straightfor-ward statement that mar-riage has always been be-tween a man and a woman, so why change it now?

    While stepping out of the comfort zone is un-doubtedly intimidating for some, this aversion to

    nationwide progress has some scary undertones that we havent seen since the 1860s, when freeing Af-rican Americans from slav-ery was the trending topic of the time and eventually led to the Civil War.

    Although Im not sug-gesting that a war on ho-mosexuals is in the cards, I am saying that inhibiting the rights of a group of peo-ple is inherently un-Ameri-can. In a land that was de-veloped in order to avoid the suppression of human rights in England, it seems that a majority of our cit-izens have forgotten the doctrine we have all strived to live by for centuries that

    every man, woman and child has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    Granted, this statement has one essential flaw and that is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will not take away these same qualities from any other citizen.

    While other legal bind-ings, such as incest or hu-man-animal relationships, do violate this idea, Paul and Joe or Samantha and Anne getting married does not inhibit anyones right these people are simply le-gal and consenting adults hoping to legitimize their relationships in the same

    way as heterosexuals.As for parenting, stud-

    ies have shown that anti-gay marriage supporters are correct in regard to the fact children do need two parents but the gender of these two parents is incon-sequential. In fact, these same studies suggest ho-mosexual households of-fer better environments for children than single-par-ent households.

    And in a world where there is enough hate to fuel political animosity, wars and murders, allowing a few more people to cele-brate their love for each other should be a welcome idea.

    Gay marriage and the 2012 election

    APSupporters of Referendum 74, which would uphold the states new same-sex marriage law, cheer at a news conference Nov. 7, 2012, in Seattle.

    Changing climate wont waitFor much of the 2012

    election season, political observers were surprised that one particular issue went relatively unmen-tioned. Despite the ava-lanche of attack ads, the daily campaign speeches and the numerous de-bates, neither President Barack Obama nor Re-publican candidate Gov. Mitt Romney broached the topic of climate change throughout the campaign season.

    Their neglect did not make the problem any

    less real, as was illustrated by Superstorm Sandys fe-rocious rampage across the eastern United States. Many believed Sandy would ultimately serve as a wake-up call for Americas public and leadership to fi-nally take action on this is-sue that threatens to dis-rupt the delicate balance of life on Earth.

    With the election and the disingenuous politi-cal posturing that is inex-tricably linked to it finally behind us, it appears as though a window for tak-

    ing action might finally be opening.

    In his first press con-ference since his re-elec-tion, President Obama reaffirmed his under-standing of the realities of climate change. More-over, he stressed the need for action.

    I think weve got an obligation to future gen-erations to do something about it, he said.

    President Obama is right.

    We, as citizens of the United States and as global

    citizens, have an obliga-tion to ensure that future generations will live in a sustainable environment. If the status quo remains unchanged and we con-tinue to spew greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, thereby changing its natu-ral chemical composition and setting off an unpre-dictable chain of events in our environment, there is no telling what condition our planet will find itself in the near future.

    But as Superstorm Sandy illustrated, change

    is coming whether or not we acknowledge it. Scien-tists agree on the fact that humans activities chief among them the burning of fossil fuels are contrib-uting to climate change. The increase in the fre-quency of extreme, de-structive storm systems, such as Sandy, is in line with their predictions.

    We need our leaders to take action, and we need them to do it now before it is too late.

    Barack Obama was elected to a second term. Same-sex marriage was legalized in more states. But the vote that seems to maintain the highest amount of hoorahs and high fives was the legaliza-tion for recreational use of marijuana in Washington and Colorado.

    Before any tokers out there pack your bags to move to the new havens of haze, keep in mind that marijuana legalization is not yet actually a reality.

    But, this trifling de-tail is unlikely to prevent hundreds of thousands of those that enjoy that baked sensation from traveling to one of the American Amsterdams.

    With the exodus of folks, and the likely immense bump in vacationing for a few days, there comes a great many challenges be-sides the already daunt-

    ing decision of whether to smoke Canna Sutra, Nige-rian, Purple Kush or any of the many other connois-seur marijuana strains.

    Though increased tour-ism can be an excellent way to generate more funds for communities, weekend warriors from just across state lines, or anyone flying in to kiss the sky for a few days, can cause unanticipated trou-bles for maintaining the peace.

    Denser traffic from de-liveries or responsible stoners hailing cabs, to increased lines for pur-chases, to people with kine bud mindsets just chilling in the park or playing some tunes in public, crowding can become a safety issue.

    Although there is lit-tle to no evidence to sup-port the asinine claims concerning marijuanas influence on individu-als to make them violent or cause death, scores of stumbley folks searching for munchies or strolling along taking in the pleas-

    ant vibes of life in the city does not mean the crimi-nals out there are giving a pass to those chiefin the reefer. There are oodles of individuals spoiling for fights or happy to rob tour-ists or others in a less than perfectly attentive state of mind of their possessions.

    Operating vehicles, or merely meandering down the street under the influ-ence presents a problem. Driving while high is like driving while drunk, you do not pass GO and col-lect $200. But that wont stop people from trying anyway.

    Marijuana traces can stay in your system weeks after smoking, even if you havent taken a bong rip for a few days. There is, as of now, no simple way for police to establish whether you are blazed, so when they suspect it, you likely head down to the station in cuffs.

    Coming up next is drug testing for jobs. Public em-ployees, and even a fair number of private, also

    have the wall of random urine tests to worry about. For residents of Colorado and Washington, despite the legality of your ac-tion, your job can still sus-pend or fire you for using an illegal substance.

    The granddaddy of all woes for the 4/20 move-ment comes with the war on drugs. States can legal-ize weed all the live-long day, and it amounts to did-dly-squat because Tetrahy-drocannabinol remains a Schedule I hallucinogenic or psychedelic drug under the Controlled Substances Act, Title II of the Compre-hensive Drug Abuse Pre-vention and Control Act of 1970. And since federal law trumps state law, all this kine bud hype could go up in smoke.

    But on the optimis-tic side, state-support for marijuana could lead to change for the idiotic regulation and spend-ing wasted on combat-ing cannabis consump-tion and incarceration of pleasant people wanting

    only to smoke a joint after a hard day of work and eat a Twinkie or two.

    The legalization for therapeutic use easing attention-deficit issues, regulating sleep difficul-ties, assuaging anxiety, dealing with mild to mod-erate depression, muscle relaxation or even reliev-ing the suffering to some extent of the terminally ill has been embraced more and more at the state level, with the overall goal in mind of ending the more-harm-than-good prohibi-tion of pot.

    The potential for traf-ficking from Washington and Colorado into other states could result in some serious legal attention by those unscrupulous entre-preneurs wanting to turn a profit illegally. The fed-eral governments war on drugs might see this as reason to sue to repeal the states legalization.

    Myriad political and le-gal aspects surrounding recreational legalization play out positively and

    negatively, sometimes both at once, to the future of marijuana in the United States. The Obama admin-istration has shown little sign of support so far for decriminalization, how-ever given the fund poten-tial from legalization for assisting economic recov-ery due to taxing and de-creased spending for en-forcement these might be the pebbles that start an avalanche.

    If you want change, go to Petitions.WhiteHouse.gov and sign the various movements each month to get marijuana decrim-inalization brought of-ten to the eye of the White House.

    Contact your state rep-resentatives with your support for change, to push for legalization in your own state. Tell your friends and family about the changes coming. Who knows, maybe this country is finally moving beyond the antiquated notions somehow still steering our country.

    BORN TODAY This year emotional extremes mark your year. Know that whatever your mood might be it could be subject to change. You could gain financially through a part-ner, the lottery or even the IRS. Man-age these moments well, and you will be just fine. If you are single, you could meet a foreigner or someone unusual who piques your interest. Spend some time getting to know this person. If you are attached, take a workshop or go on a trip that you have been talking about. SAGITTAR-IUS can be provocative.

    ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Push past the obvious, and be willing to clear up a disagreement. You could feel emotionally naked, in a sense, by the time you fix the issue. Your ability to read between the lines helps you understand what some-one might not be revealing. Tonight: Break down a barrier.

    TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Deal with a certain some-one directly. You might have diffi-culty understanding what is going on with this person, as he or she be-lieves that you tune him or her out. You have found yourself drowning in empathetic feelings in the past when dealing with this person. To-night: Make nice.

    GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Others declare their strength and power in a way you can relate to. You might be overwhelmed because you feel the need to respond to the many different situations that come forward at this time. Tonight: Make

    the most of the moment.

    CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Focus on your effectiveness and on getting the job done. You could be overwhelmed beyond your norm, as there will be a flood of paperwork on top of your regular work to get through. Do not make this a big deal -- just get it done. Tonight: Choose a favorite way of relaxing.

    LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Your powerful personality emerges because you have so much to han-dle. Once you get through the hec-tic part of your day, you can kick back and enjoy a loved one. Make a point of sharing your feelings with this person. Be understanding. Tonight: Where your friends are.

    VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You might want to touch base with a roommate or family member mid-day. Whether you sense or actually know that a lot is about to happen, it makes a difference to clue this per-son in to what is going on. Be avail-able to others. Tonight: Happy to be home.

    LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Calls, emails and conversations whirl around you at a hectic pace. Sort-ing through all of your messages, re-sponding to them and prioritizing them could make you wish you were a computer. Remember the impor-tance of expressing your feelings. To-night: Swap tales of the day.

    SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Be aware of the expense of entertain-ing a friend in style. You might want to rethink that decision. You have a tendency to get lucky when you deal with this person so you dont have to

    go overboard to impress him or her. Trust in your desirability. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

    SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You have so many oppor-tunities falling into your lap that you might not be sure which one you would like to jump on first. Commu-nication with friends and business associates informs you of the state of affairs. A loved one is expressive. Tonight: Whatever you want.

    CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH The less you disclose, the better off you will be ... even if some-one is asking for feedback. This per-son might not be OK with what you have to say. Strong feelings emerge with someone you look up to. Be will-ing to discuss whatever you want. To-night: Play it low-key.

    AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. At the last minute, you might real-ize that you have alternatives that you had not considered. Allow more lightness to enter your life, and try not to take yourself so seriously. A friend helps you laugh at a situation. Tonight: Where the fun is.

    PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You are on top of your game, and others sense that you are centered. Do only what you want, and dont sell yourself short. Recognize that oth-ers are observing the way you han-dle various situations. Many of them might follow in your footsteps. To-night: Could be late.

    Take one part Ramones, one part Nirvana and one part Buzzcocks, and you have the punky and witty California-born trio Green Day.

    Although Green Day recorded two studio albums before Dookie, this album established the groups presence in the punk rock scene.

    Dookie was released in 1994 and was the groups first ex-perience with a major record label, Reprise Records.

    It became a worldwide success and peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The album included the five hits Longview, When I Come Around, Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise and She.

    Additionally, Dookie won the Grammy Award for Best Al-ternative Music Album in 1995, and it has since been rated as one of the best albums of all time.

    Nirvanas Nevermind paved the way for Green Days en-try and success into the punk/alternative rock world, but any emulation of Nirvana in Dookie was strictly done in irony. Nirvana had weight and seriousness, but Green Day was de-liberately adolescent, treating everything like a joke in typi-cal punk-rock fashion.

    This is why I consistently rate Dookie as one of my favorite albums. Green Day has evolved throughout the years into an amazing band, but Dookie is what started it all. They were snarky and funny just like a good punk group should be.

    Billie Joe Armstrong broke out as a talented songwriter and performer, spitting out melodic rhymes that were reminiscent of ones by Nirvana but can stand along with the best.

    Although Billie Joe is in rehab now, hopes are high he will recover and get back onstage and in the studio where he belongs.

    With their sarcastic lyrics and haunting melodies, Green Day came onto the punk rock scene 18 years ago with Dookie, and they have shown they are here to stay.

    One of the most influential albums of its genre, In the Aero-plane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel is an essential piece of 90s music history. It was listed in Q Magazine as one of the top 250 albums of the last 25 years.

    If you dont remember this album or have yet to hear it, Id rec-ommend downloading it immediately. It captures a unique musi-cal style and poetry that is at the same time reflective of and sep-arate from the reality of our world.

    Listening to this album is a hauntingly beautiful experience. The bands singer, guitarist and songwriter, Jeff Mangum, said he was majorly inspired by Anne Franks The Diary of A Young Girl. His lyrics are said to reflect this as well as recurring dreams he was having of a Jewish family from World War II.

    This is evident in such songs as Holland, 1945, in which Mangum writes: The only girl Ive ever loved / was born with roses in her eyes / but then they buried her alive / one evening 1945 / with just her sister at her side.

    Regardless of its influences, the album has the power to con-nect to a multitude of people. It contains lyrics that are both me-lodic and thought-provoking, and they have the ability to trans-port you to a faraway place in your head, as the best songs always do.

    The albums title track, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in-cludes lines such as, But for now we are young / let us lay in the sun / and count every beautiful thing we can see, which inspire simultaneous thoughts of mortality and lifes beauty.

    Unfortunately, the band took an unannounced hiatus after the 1998 album, and they havent released a new album since then.

    However, Mangums website for the band, www.walkingwallof-words.com, has tour dates listed for 2013. The website also con-tains one-of-a-kind drawings by Mangum for $15 and a boxed set of the bands work. One dollar of every boxed set sold will go to Children of the Blue Sky, a charity for needy Mongolian children. The site also contains a radio show by Mangum.

    Freekbot, Signal Path performing at 123 Pleasant Street hunter homistek

    associate a&e editor

    Electronic dance mu-sic outfits Signal Path and Freekbot are primed to turn up the bass and test the limits of sonic percep-tion at 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

    Two-time veterans of the historic Morgantown venue, Signal Path prom-ises to bring an energy and musical approach not ex-plored by other groups within the genre of elec-tronic dance music to 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

    This is largely due to the fact that while the group still uses a hefty amount of sampling and electronic production, they, also in-corporate guitars, drums, basses and other more traditional instruments

    to create a sound that is wholly unique.

    Signal Path hit my ra-dar when they opened for EOTO (at) the first Morgantown show, said Adam Payne, event pro-moter. Ever since, they have been one of my per-sonal favorite electronic rock acts, hence the reason Im bringing them back for a third show at 123 all the way from Denver.

    When Signal Path first came to Morgantown, the group consisted only of Damon Metzner on acous-tic drums and Ryan Bur-nett on guitar and produc-tion. Two became three on the groups second trip when they added Matt Schumacher to lay down dance-oriented bass lines. Now, for the bands third performance, they are adding yet another mem-ber to their official lineup with keyboardist Cody Willie taking the stage.

    With a fuller, more bal-anced lineup than ever, Signal Paths performance promises to be a barn-burner for the 123 crowd.

    Also playing tonight are the esteemed electronic groove masters Freek-bot. A duo comprised of groove scientist Freek-

    bass and Disco Mix Club USA Disc Jockey champion Tototius, Freekbot brings a level of excellence to the electronic scene few oth-ers can match.

    Freekbass will blow people away with his light-ning fast funky slap style, and former DMC USA DJ champion Totobius is a true turntablist, Payne said. Together, these guys can really make a room groove.

    Thanks to his incredible dexterity and proficiency on the bass guitar, Freek-bass has had the honor of playing with such mu-sicians as Ivan Nevilles Dumpstaphunk, Mike Gor-don and guitar virtuoso Buckethead.

    Similarly, Totobius has collaborated with funk master Bootsy Collins and respected producer Hi-Tek. With a lifetime of ex-perience and skill between the two, Freekbot ensures a night of satisfaction and high-energy groove expertise.

    Tickets to the event are $10, and the show be-gins at 10 p.m. Concertgo-ers must be 18 or older to attend.

    To avoid losing its fifth consecutive game, West Virginia is looking to get back to basics on offense and return to the level of balance the Mountaineers displayed in the first half of the season.

    Lately the passing game has taken precedence over the running game some-thing offensive coordina-tor Shannon Dawson said is exactly what an opposing defense wants.

    (The defenses) goal is to make offenses one di-mensional; they feel like if they can get you one di-

    mensional, they have you where they want you, so running the ball is impor-tant, he said.

    Throwing the ball is a lot easier when you have an ef-fective running game.

    Though the offense per-formed better in the Okla-homa State game, head coach Dana Holgorsen was troubled by how the team performed in short-yard-age situations.

    It is a huge issue, and we are going to work hard on it this week. We did a poor job of establishing the line of scrimmage. Look at all our third-and-shorts. We have no push. We had none, he said.

    We were garbage on third-and-short (and) fourth and short when we handed the ball off. That is (a) combination of just not controlling the line of scrimmage up front and not having good enough running backs to be able to get the yards that we need, he said.

    Part of the running strug-gles are a direct result of health issues, as senior Shawne Alston is still re-covering from a deep thigh bruise, and sophomore Dustin Garrison is still not back to 100 percent fol-lowing his knee injury last season.

    Though Holgorsen was

    reluctant to admit it, he said the injuries have taken a toll on the Mountaineers rushing attack.

    You can blame it on what you want to. Shawne (Alston) is hurt. It is not what people want to hear, but he is hurt. That is why he is not playing, he said.

    Dustin is still six months out from being where he was last year, which means we put it in the hands of (sophomore) Andrew Buie, who is averaging al-most five yards a rush. But if you give it to him 20 times a game he is going to wear down.

    Buie, who is currently sixth in the Big 12 in rush-

    ing, has averaged a robust 4.6 yards per carry this sea-son. Though he had diffi-culty staying healthy last season, Buie has yet to suc-cumb to the injury bug de-spite carrying the ball more than 15 times per game.

    I feel good; I feel fine. That was a big thing for me during the offseason: get-ting my body to the point where I could last for a whole season, Buie said.

    I feel like Im holding up pretty well right now. I do more stretching and get into the cold tub more of-ten this year to keep taking care and treating my body.

    To improve, Buie said he is looking to become more

    of a playmaker. His longest rush this season went for 30 yards, and its plays like that he said he hopes to make more frequently.

    I need to start making more (big) plays within the offense to give us some breathing room (and) help the offense out, he said. I just have to continue to work and prepare myself to be able to make those runs.

    If the Mountaineers hope to upset No. 12 Okla-homa Saturday, they will need exactly that from not only Buie but the rest of the running backs.

    IT IS A HUGE ISSUE

    by doug walpsports writer

    West Virginia will wel-come one of the most suc-cessful programs in the his-tory of college football the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners to Morgantown Saturday.

    For the last 70 years, no school has dominated col-lege football as consistently as the Sooners. In fact, Oklahoma has posted the most victories (577) and the highest winning percentage (.763) of any college foot-ball team since the end of the World War II.

    Theyve also claimed seven national champion-ships, seven Big 12 confer-ence titles and produced five different Heisman Tro-phy winners during their 117-year history.

    They are used to win-ning, said West Virginia head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. They play with a tremendous amount of ef-fort and are very talented.

    But the Sooners faced some minor adversity early on this year, getting to a slow start in the first three quarters against a very weak UTEP team in their season opener and then falling two weeks later to Kansas State.

    Despite some of the early season struggles, if you can even call them that, the Sooners are now one of the most danger-ous teams in not only the conference but the entire country. Their only two losses have come from two undefeated teams, Kansas State and Notre Dame, who currently are the No. 1 and No. 3 teams in the country, respectively.

    In fact, except for those two losses, Oklahoma has outscored their opponents 326-135 this season.

    The Sooners defense has

    been stout, as well, lead-ing the Big 12 in pass de-fense and opponent first downs in 2012. Oklahoma is also No. 24 in the country in scoring defense, allow-ing less than 20 points per game to its opponents.

    The Sooners are coached by the notorious Bob Stoops, who just surpassed Bud Wilkinson for second all-time in wins (146) as head coach of OU.

    Under center, Oklahoma is led by senior quarter-back Landry Jones, who has won more games than any quarterback in the sto-ried history of Oklahoma. Jones only held his name out of last years NFL draft because he wanted to add a national championship to the Sooners enormous trophy case and to his own personal resume.

    Jones has completed more than 63 percent of his career passes for 14,793 yards and 109 touchdowns in 46 starts for the Sooners.

    Everything starts with their quarterback, Landry Jones, Holgorsen said. It seems like he has been there for six years. I re-member him in high school when he came out of New Mexico. He came to our camp and is very talented. Hes a big kid with a great arm and is a winner.

    Playing behind Jones is the 6-foot-6, 254-pound monster backup, Blake Bell Dozer is usually inserted in either goal line or other short yardage situations to pound the football ahead.

    Bell has only completed nine passes for 103 yards in his two years at Oklahoma, but hes also rushed for 23

    touchdowns for the same two seasons.

    Fast enough, Stoops said Monday when asked about Bells 40-yard dash time. Once he gets rolling, hes pretty quick.

    Stoops also pointed out Monday that although his team is potentially in con-tention for an at-large BCS bid, his team is still focused solely on improving on a consistent week-to-week basis, including Saturday at West Virginia.

    Weve been good at do-ing what we need to do, Stoops said. Our assign-ments (and) our technique, so hopefully that will con-tinue. Were going to do our part for this one game, to try and keep improving our position.

    Mens soccer can compete for title in 2013

    After a fairly under-whelming season in 2012, the West Virginia mens soccer team will return to a competitive level in pursuit of a national championship in 2013.

    Thats right. Even though the Mountaineers are losing three of their top-four point scorers, easily their best de-fender in Eric Schoenle and their starting and backup goalkeepers, theyll still be able to compete with the best teams in the entire country next year.

    Theyll be able to do so for a number of reasons.

    Although WVU will cer-tainly lose several key se-niors this offseason, some of whom are capable of play-

    ing for Major League Soccer clubs almost right away, this is simply a process that every collegiate sports team has to eventually deal with. Most players only get the chance to stay for four years, some gain an extra year of eligi-bility through either a red-shirt or an injury. Regardless of the situation, college ath-letics are always a revolving door of sorts in regards to player talent.

    And even though the Mountaineers will lose the likes of the aforementioned Schoenle, Travis Pittman, Uwem Etuk, Peabo Doue and Shadow Sebele this off-season, West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc never sounded panicked about the idea of replac-ing his productive seniors when I talked to him over the phone Monday night

    after WVU was passed over for the 2012 NCAA tournament.

    Part of LeBlancs calm-ness stems from his ab-solute confidence in his teams ability to replenish talent on the roster every year through recruiting.

    We always recruit well, LeBlanc said. Thats never really going to be a question for us.

    LeBlanc also said al-though hell only have two returning seniors next sea-son, it helps that a great deal

    of freshman already had a chance to play significant minutes in big games for the Mountaineers this year and will already be acclimated to the level of collegiate soc-cer at the beginning of next season.

    It also helps the freshmen didnt just play big minutes on the pitch for the Moun-taineers this season; a few of the first-year college play-ers actually had productive years for West Virginia.

    Majed Osman led all freshmen with 10 points on three goals and four assists in 2012. In fact, the London native tied for second in the team in total points, trail-ing only Schoenle (12), who

    was named to the All-Mid-American Conference first team.

    In addition to Osman, freshmen Ryan Cain, Nick Raskasky and Jamie Mer-riam all found the back of the net twice in their first seasons in Morgantown. Freshmen Zak Leedom and Kyle Underwood also scored a goal in their first year at the college level.

    Its wasnt just the fresh-men who showed promise in 2012 for the Mountain-eers; true sophomore Andy Bevin tallied seven points on two goals and three as-sists, and redshirt sopho-more Craig Stephens had two assists and a goal of his

    own.Those guys are all back

    next year, LeBlanc said. According to LeBlanc, an-

    other huge factor heading into next season, according to LeBlanc, will be the fact that the Mountaineers have the luxury of knowing that theyll be competing in the MAC for an entire offseason this year. Last year, when WVU collectively hopped ship from the Big East in fa-vor of the Big 12, the mens soccer team was somewhat left out in the cold because the Big 12 doesnt feature a league for Mens soccer.

    This forced the Mountain-eers to scramble to find a different conference home-

    stead in the weeks before the 2012 college soccer season started. Although WVU was fortunate to eventually find a home in the MAC, because they joined the conference so late, they had very little control of their conference schedule and their overall scheduling in general.

    This wont be the case for next season, claims LeB-lanc, who has also revealed that the Mountaineers will again face a murders row of opponents in their non-conference schedule to be-gin 2013.

    Well be up to the chal-lenge, LeBlanc said.

    roethlisberger has rib injury too, out vs. ravensPITTSBURGH (AP) Right

    arm tucked into a black sling, weary eyes betray-ing a decided lack of sleep, Ben Roethlisberger tried to stay positive after the worst and by far the most har-rowing injury of his career.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback believes he can return this season despite spraining his right shoulder and suffering what he called a dislocated rib in Monday nights overtime win against Kansas City.

    Hes just not sure when hell be ready. And his med-ical team appears nowhere close to figuring out how ex-actly to get him there.

    From what (the doc-tor) said hes trying to talk to experts because there is no case study over the exact same thing, Roethlisberger said Wednesday. Were just trying to talk to people ... be-cause we dont know.

    All Roethlisberger knows for certain is that doctors are concerned the rib which he injured while getting sacked by a pair of Kansas City linebackers in the third quarter on Monday could puncture his aorta if jostled around.

    He also knows hell be a spectator indefinitely while the surging Steelers (6-3) try to track down AFC North-leading Baltimore (7-2). The rivals meet twice over the next three weeks, with the first showdown coming Sunday night at Heinz Field. Veteran backup Byron Left-wich will take the snaps in Roethlisbergers place, looking for his first win as a starter in six years.

    Im not going to go out there and try and be Ben, Leftwich said. We see the game differently. Hes phys-ically able to do some things that I cant do but that doesnt mean I cant go out there and do my job.

    The Steelers have been forced to play with Roethlisberger occasion-ally over the last nine sea-sons, going 8-5 without their franchise cornerstone since 2004. Four of those losses, however, have come against the Ravens.

    Still, Roethlisberger re-mains optimistic hell be back to work at some point over the next seven weeks. Asked if he thinks the in-

    jury is season-ending, the two-time Super Bowl win-ner shrugged his one good shoulder and attempted to remain upbeat.

    I dont think so, I dont know though but Im not a medical expert, Roeth-lisberger said. I just know Im going to do what I can to get back.

    At the moment, doing nothing appears to be the smartest course after his season came to a stunning halt early in the third quar-ter against the Chiefs.

    Roethlisberger was step-ping up in the pocket try-ing to extend a third-down play when Kansas City linebacker Justin Houston wrapped up his legs and teammate Tamba Hali drove all of his 265 pounds into Roethlisbergers chest and slammed him to the turf. The quarterbacks right arm dug into his side at the mo-ment of impact, dislocating the rib and sending a jagged edge perilously close to the aorta.

    When I hit the ground is kind of when I felt some-thing not right, like a crunch or a crack, Roethlisberger said. Its kind of hard to explain.

    Whats easy to explain is the pain, which Roethlis-berger described as nine on a scale of 1-10. Most of the misery is coming from the rib and he joked hell likely have to hold his son who is due to arrive some-time in the next few weeks with in his left arm instead of his right.

    Unless Roethlisberger learns to throw with his left arm too, Pittsburghs playoff chances will rest with Left-wich. The former first-round pick hasnt started a game in three years and hasnt won one since 2006. He went 7 of 14 for 73 yards in relief against the Chiefs, leading Pittsburgh to a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.

    My first few plays I felt like everybody was moving faster than me, Leftwich said. Maybe that is because Im slower than everybody. When you aint out there, lets just be honest, it just takes awhile to get back.

    A full week of practice and the fact hes spent four of the last five seasons as Roeth-lisbergers primary backup

    means Leftwich isnt exactly starting from scratch.

    Early in his career, Left-wich was one of the most promising quarterbacks in the league. Taken with the seventh overall pick by Jack-sonville in the 2003 draft, Leftwich led the Jaguars to a playoff berth in 2005 be-fore things fell apart. He lost his starting job to Da-vid Garrard a year later then bounced around be-tween Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay before re-turning to the Steelers for good in 2010.

    Leftwich missed all but one game in 2010 due to a knee injury and spent all of 2011 on injured reserve af-ter breaking his arm dur-ing a preseason game. Yet the Steelers have kept him around because of his close relationship with Roethlis-berger and his arm, which remains one of the stron-gest in the league. Leftwich actually overthrew speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace on a fly pattern against the Chiefs, a rare feat.

    We have all the confi-dence in the world in By-ron, Wallace said. Hes been in this league a long time, and hes played a lot of games. We just need to work on some things in practice this week with him at quarterback, and Im sure well be ready to go by the time the game comes around.

    Roethlisberger will be there in Leftwichs ear of-fering assistance when nec-essary, just as Leftwich has done for him through the years.

    He can make every throw on the football field, Roethlisberger said. Hes going to do just as good if not better.

    NOTES: DE Brett Keisel (shoulder), LT Max Starks (ankle), S Troy Polam-alu (calf ), RT Marcus Gil-bert (ankle), WR Antonio Brown (ankle) LB Chris Carter (abdomen) and Ro-ethlisberger did not prac-tice on Wednesday ... S Ryan Clark was limited in prac-tice after sustaining a con-cussion against the Chiefs. Clark will meet with team doctors on Thursday for fur-ther evaluation. Web

    Jets rex ryan angered by anonymous rips of TebowFLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)

    Rex Ryan doesnt mind his New York Jets play-ers saying whats on their minds. Just as long as they put their names to their comments.

    An angry Ryan addressed his team Wednesday for some anonymous quotes by players and members of the organization rip-ping backup quarterback Tim Tebow in a newspaper report.

    If youre not going to put your name to it, I think thats about as cowardly of a thing there is, Ryan said. I dont want to get into spe-

    cifics of what I said, but I did address it with our foot-ball team. If youre search-ing for things to try to drive a wedge through the team, my thing is, I believe in this team.

    I believe this team is (to-gether), will continue to be and maybe even become tighter. Im confident that will be the case.

    A report in the Daily News on Wednesday said that more than a dozen players and members of the Jets or-ganization believe theres no chance Tebow could overtake Mark Sanchez for the starting quarterback job with one saying of the backup: Hes terrible.

    We never say that it al-ways has to be a bed of roses, said Ryan, who en-courages his players and coaches to be yourself in interviews. But again, put your name to it. I think peo-ple would respect you a lot more for it.

    Tebow was acquired from Denver in a stunning trade in March, with the Jets envisioning using the pop-ular player in key spots on offense. Instead, he has had little impact through nine games, rushing 27 times for 92 yards and complet-ing five of his six passes for

    40 yards. Tebow also has not scored with the Jets, and the wildcat package he was sup-posed to be such a large part of has been inconsistent and mostly ineffective.

    Ryan and the Jets insist he has made a difference on special teams, though, as New Yorks personal punt protector because op-ponents have been forced to account for him since he has pulled off a handful of fakes.

    We asked him, a for-mer Heisman Trophy win-ner, first-round pick, a quar-terback who led his team to a playoffs that, You know what? We want you to be our personal protector, Ryan said. Everything weve asked him to do, hes done.

    But with Sanchez mired in a dreadful slump in which he has thrown two touchdowns and three in-terceptions, lost three fum-bles and been sacked 11 times in the Jets last three games, Ryan remains com-mitted to him as the start-ing quarterback. Many fans and media have been call-ing for Tebow to take over for Sanchez to, more than anything, provide a spark for the offense.

    For now, though, this re-mains Sanchezs team. And

    Tebow will remain on the sideline for most games, aside from the seven or eight plays he averages.

    Hes a football player and I said that from Day 1, Ryan said of Tebow. We never brought him in to be the starting quarterback. We already had a starting quar-terback in Mark Sanchez. I thought I was clear on that from the day we brought

    Tim in here.Ryan did, in fact, insist

    since the offseason that Sanchez was his guy, and he has stuck to that. But the latest locker room chat-ter presents an issue that the Jets are all too familiar with. In-fighting helped sink New Yorks season a year ago, with Sanchez and San-tonio Holmes at odds nearly throughout.

    After the season ended, several anonymous players were quoted in a media re-port saying they were un-certain of Sanchezs leader-ship abilities and called for the Jets to make a hard push for Peyton Manning. Ryan insists keeping his locker room together, something he thinks was a bit exag-gerated last year, wont be a problem this time around.
