#KeysToTheGame: Attention to detail is crucial for Mountaineers against Kansas State - WBOY.com

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 02:40 PM PDT

As the Mountaineers head into the second half of their schedule at just 3-2, there is no doubt that the last five teams they'll face are better than the first five they've already played, starting with Kansas State. So taking care of the details will be important. 

Like holding onto the ball, dropped passes continue to plague this WVU wide receiving corps, who unofficially had 7 more drops a week ago in their one score loss to Texas Tech. While it wasn't a dropped pass, Sam James's fumble resulted in the game winning touchdown for the Red Raiders. 

Turnovers will also be a key against the Wildcats, who are first in the Big 12 in turnover margin at +6. WVU, on the other hand, is near the bottom, seventh overall at minus -2. 

WVU has to avoid non-offensive touchdowns. In their win over Kansas, the Wildcats returned two punts for scores and had a pick six, helping to score 21 points in their 55-14 victory. 

WVU will need to lean on Leddie Brown and their running game as a whole, the Wildcats are only 8th best against the run in the Big 12 allowing nearly 160 yards a game. Brown is the third leading rusher in the Big 12 averaging 118 yards a game, while as a team the Mountaineers are averaging nearly 170 yards a game that's 4th best in the conference.

The Mountaineer D is still number 1 overall in the Big 12 while the Wildcat offense is ranked 8th averaging 367 yards allowed per game, above only Baylor and Kansas. Despite that, the 'Cats are averaging 35 points per game — that's three more than WVU. 

Getting pressure on the quarterback will also be key for WVU. The Wildcats have done a good job defending their passer this season only allowing 7 sacks in five games. 

K-State is also road tested they already have wins at Oklahoma and TCU. 

Maybe the Wildcats are the team the Mountaineers need to see — WVU has won four straight against K-State.

Google's 2020 Halloween Doodle Game is Addictive Fun - wobm.com

Posted: 30 Oct 2020 09:30 AM PDT

Google celebrated Halloween 2020 with a sequel to a well-loved game from its past, an underwater-based sequel to 'Magic Cat Academy.'

The game harkens back to the 2016 Halloween Doodle which CNet remembers as

a game that features Momo, an adorable black cat with magic powers who is racing the clock to save her school from a horde of invading spirits. By swiping your cursor vertically, horizontally or other patterns, you control Momo's magic wand as she vanquishes ghouls trying to take over the hallowed halls of her school.

For 2020, the game remains similar as you draw lines, arrows and shapes to vanquish ghosts and other ghoulish creatures. However, the setting places Momo, our hero cat underwater in a diving helmet and in a location sure to make you nostalgic for the underwater words in the original Super Mario Brothers, minus the zombie fish that plague Momo in the Google game.

9 to 5 Google takes you through the gameplay:

Levels get progressively harder with more specters (and shape combinations) converging on you, though this cat — appropriately — has five lives and the ability to get shields. Your score is noted in the top-right corner....

[The 2020] Google Doodle takes place underwater "with new friends, old foes, and spooky surprises." This "subaquatic shriek-quel" has new aquatic foes in each level: Immortal Jellyfish, Boops Boops, Vampire Squid, and Angelfish.

Check out the Google Doodle game living in perpetuity here.

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation
