Construction causes natural gas odor

BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

A strong odor of natural gasoline could be smelled Monday night across downtown Morgantown.

The smell arose from construction being done by the Morgantown Utility Board near the intersection of University Avenue and Fayette Street when workers cut into an abandoned gas line while

adding new pipes to the city’s existing waterlines, said David Dzurnak, captain of the Morgantown Fire Department.

Dzurnak said the strong odor comes from the residual gas piping from the line.

He said there was no effect to residents’ health because of the odor.

“There’s no harm in it, just the smell,” he said. “It doesn’t take a lot of that chemical to smell.”

The fire department was called out to check the smell three times on Monday, 911 dispatchers said.

Firefighters checked on the calls but determined the residual gas to not be a problem each time, Dzurnak said.

He said the smell should go away once workers cover the hole in which the abandoned pipe was found.

Once covered up, the smell should dissipate, but Dzurnak

said he was unsure when that would be because the construction location is in active repair.

The gas odor could be smelled strongly from outside the Mountainlair at approximately 7 p.m. Monday, said Sawan Prabhu, a dentistry and master’s of public health graduate student at West Virginia University.

The smell lingered during her walk from the back of the

Mountainlair to her car on Maiden Lane, she said.

“I smelled it right when I came out; I just didn’t know where it was coming from,” she said.

She said she identified the odor as soon as she smelled it.

It went away once she left downtown, she said.

Robert Phipps, professional technologist in the Eberly College of Arts & Sciences, said he smelled the odor at

about 5:20 p.m. while driving on High Street.

“At first I was worried because I thought something was wrong with my car,” Phipps said.

“It wasn’t until I drove out of it that realized it was OK. It was a very strong odor.”

Reports were also made of the odor reaching Oglebay Hall and Prospect Street. travis.crum@mail.wvu.edu

Fan behavior success at Pitt game Chick-fil-A cow

portrays anti-gay message on sign by erin fitzwilliams associate city editor

An unknown person has placed signs on telephone poles near Chestnut Street depicting the Chick-fil-A cow mascot as anti-gay.

The signs parody the fast food chain’s motto “Eat Mor Chikin,” with the cow holding a sign saying “Hate Mor Gay People.”

The messages could be a response to recent media attention in which an affiliate of the restaurant made donations to organizations with anti-gay stances.

Julia Hall, vice president of the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Mountaineers,

said the group had no idea of the signs prior to Monday, and she was not sure if the fliers sympathize with anti-gay or pro-gay movements.

It was announced last summer that West Virginia University signed a contract with the company for the installation of the restaurant in the Mountainlair, which will be opened sometime in February or March.

Hall said BiGLTM members have discussed the issue of boycotting the company, but their opinions are divided on support or opposing the addition in the Mountainlair.

Fans camp out all night to attend men’s basketball Backyard Brawl

BY JOEL MORALES STAFF WRITER

Freshmen Lane Horter, a journalism major, and Kyle Maynard, a history major, began camping out Saturday at 8 p.m. for Monday evening’s Backyard Brawl.

An estimated 3,000 people joined them before the doors opened for the game, the line going around the West Virginia University Coliseum and wrapping around the Wrestling Pavilion for the Mountaineers’ 71-66 loss to the Panthers.

“It was only me and Kyle Saturday night,” Maynard said.

“People didn’t start arriving until about noon on Sunday.”

Dillon Tucker, a freshman pre-pharmacy major, arrived at the Coliseum at 2 p.m. Sunday.

“It rained all last night, so we basically froze to death and only got an hour and a half of sleep,” Tucker said. He said he decided to skip all of his classes Monday

to get a spot in the front of the ticket line.

Tucker estimated around 25 people camped overnight into Monday morning in anticipation of the game.

The first 900 students who entered the stadium were seated in the “Maniac Madhouse” section, the lower student section, while the remaining students sat in the upper student section.

Mountaineer mascot Brock Burwell was impressed with the amount of people who waited in the cold rain.

“The crowd is really awesome for Pitt, and they came out today in full force,” Burwell said. “I was out here for the Purdue game, and it definitely surpassed what they were for that, and I thought even that was crazy.”

Many people were disappointed in the final outcome of the game.

Week emphasizes water, energy conservation

BY ALEX DUFOUR CORRESPONDENT

Students at West Virginia University have the opportunity to learn more about “living green” this week during sustainable awareness events.

The events, hosted by the Student Government Association, SustainU and WECAN, will be held all week today until Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Mountainlair. Various booths will be featured with various green themes, free T-shirts, water bottles, CFL light bulbs, shower timers and light switch covers.

The events began Monday

with an event focusing on recycling education and its benefits.

“A good amount of international and students of all majors have stopped by, and the response has been really good with many students being shocked by the information we have shared with them,” said Isabelle Shepherd, freshman business and economics major who helped with the events.

Shepherd said during a typical semester, campus buildings average 10 tons of paper and 150 pounds of plastic per week.

Avoid feeling blue and vaccinate against of the flu.

West Virginia University’s WELL WVU will be giving a free flu shot clinic Wednesday, Feb. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m in the Vandalia Lounge of the Mountainlair.

Jan Palmer, director of WELL WVU Student Health Services, said the flu shots are free to encourage students, faculty and staff members to get the vaccine against influenza, which he said peaks during February to March.

Sudden onset of fever, body aches, cough and sore throat are common symptoms of influenza, he said.

“It’s a common illness that spreads easily in college campuses,” Palmer said. “For students in close contact like classes and dorms, they’re susceptible.”

Palmer said WELL WVU has administered about 1,700 flu shots this season, a low number from about 5,000 last year because of the H1N1 virus, and the media attention from it caused an influx to get the vaccine.

“This vaccine we’re offering has a combination of the normal season influenza and also

the H1N1 virus,” Palmer said.

A large number of flu shots will be available, a specific number not yet to be determined, but if the clinic runs short more flu shots will be available and will be nearly unlimited, he said.

Wednesday’s flu shot clinic will be the last outreach to those on campus, he said.

Flu shot clinics were held at the Student Recreation Center and also at the Health Sciences Center earlier this winter season.

Free flu shots will be available at the WELL WVU Student Health Center for those who have missed Wednesday’s flu shot clinic, he said.

Side effects to the vaccine could include a low grade fever and a sore spot near the injection site, he said. Influenza or H1N1 cannot be contracted from the vaccine.

During the months of flu season, November to March, February is considered to be the peak month for influenza, and the first cases of the virus are appearing in the Monongalia County area, he said.

Palmer said there were a few cases of H1N1 this season in Morgantown and Monongalia county, and they were handled. erin.fitzwilliams@mail.wvu.edu

CNN analyst Roland Martin Gov. Tomblin signs special discusses state of media governor election bill into law LOCAL

Charles Young Staff Writer

Roland Martin, a CNN analyst and award-wining journalist, spoke to an audience of nearly 100 students and faculty members in the Mountainlair Ballroom Monday night about the state of the media industry and keys to personal success.

Martin encouraged students who are considering pursuing a career in journalism to believe in themselves and to seize every opportunity they are given.

“One moment in someone’s life can affect their life for years to come,” Martin said. “So never pass up a single opportunity; this is the greatest time in the history of the world to get into the industry of media.”

Martin said the rise of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook have helped to revolutionize what we consider news and who writes the news.

Nick Marks, a senior multidisciplinary studies major and intern for the Office of Sustainability, said he enjoyed sharing his knowledge of living a sustainable lifestyle with other students and how it could translate to a career.

“My major is based around entrepreneurship, and I see the market for sustainability growing, so I am hoping to capitalize on this market in the future,” Marks said.

“You can now start your own online media company and be just as powerful as any major network,” he said.

He pointed to the recent political unrest in Egypt and the role social networking sites have played in delivering news to the rest of the world.

Martin also fielded questions from the audience on a wide range of issues, including LeBron James and the Wikileaks scandal.

Martin formerly served as the president of the National Association of Black Journalists and said almost every job he’s had in journalism was made possible by connections he formed within the group. He encouraged students to get involved in the organization.

He also encouraged journalism students to be more involved within organizations on campus such as student newspapers or student radio. cus on water conservation and Energy Conservation is reserved for Thursday.

SGA Gov. Olivia Audia said she hopes the week’s efforts will help make positive changes in students’ habits toward water and energy conservation.

“It is very important that we are sustainable and as efficient as possible in such a large campus,” said Nicole Crane, freshman chemistry major. “Students coming by the booth have been very interested in what we have to say and surprised by the facts we have shared with them hopefully causing them to make a difference.”

WVU currently has a grade of B- from the College Sustainability Report Card, an entire letter grade improvement since 2008. The WVU Office of Sustainability in partnership with various units and departments is currently working on a handful of projects to better WVU’s sustainability report card, such as dining without trays, textile recycling, storm

After he finished speaking, Martin met with members of the audience and signed copies of his published works.

“Roland Martin is extremely accomplished, and we are very proud have him here tonight,” said Chelsea Fuller, the president of the West Virginia University chapter of NABJ. Martin, who is the host of his own cable news show, “Washington March with Roland Martin,” was also named one of the most influential African-Americans in the United States by Ebony Magazine.

Martin has won more than 30 awards for journalistic evidence including a regional Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television News Directors. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

On Feb. 1, the university’s chancellor invited Chick-fil-A to return to campus.

til 2012. Following the Supreme Court’s Jan. 18 ruling, lawmakers then questioned whether to hold a primary or keep the party convention process for nominating special election candidates.

“With this bill, we are putting West Virginia first,” Tomblin said during the public signing ceremony in the governor’s Capitol reception room.

The candidate filing period ends 5 p.m. Saturday, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant announced Monday. West Virginia’s chief elections officer, Tennant has also scheduled a random drawing Sunday for listing candidates on their party’s ballot.

Tomblin, Tennant and House Speaker Rick Thompson are the Democratic candidates so far. All filed to run before the legislation’s passage.

So did the current Republican field of former Secretary of

State Betty Ireland, state Sen. Clark Barnes, Putnam County prosecutor Mark Sorsaia and Delegate Patrick Lane.

Jesse Johnson has filed for the Mountain Party, which also has ballot status.

Candidates have until March 1 to withdraw, and must file their first round of campaign finance reports between March 26 and April 1.

Counties will begin sending overseas absentee ballots March 29. In-person early voting will run from April 22 through May 11. Besides Monday through Friday, the early voting period includes May 7, a Saturday. The primary also falls on a Saturday.

Manchin had more than two years left in his second term as governor when he won last year’s U.S. Senate special election. The governor’s office is also on the ballot next year for a full, four-year term.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Bob Meyers was surprised when he first booted up his laptop a few years ago.

There was an unsecured wireless connection available nearby, and it had a strong signal. Curious, he connected to it.

Meyers then clicked on the “Network Neighborhood” icon, where he found a desktop PC, laptop and server. They were his neighbor’s devices.

The server contained a folder called “Quicken,” which allowed him to view his neighbor’s federal tax returns for the past three years.

“Being a smart aleck, I created a new folder on the server with the title Howdy Neighbor and disconnected,” said Meyers, educational program manager for WVU’s Office of Information Technology (OIT). “The wireless network disappeared within an hour.”

Meyers later discovered that his neighbor had just installed a new wireless network. He was working to secure it when Meyers pulled his prank, but Amy Kuhn, WVU’s interim director of information security, said many local residents fail to set up password protection.

“If you drive down the road and sit in a neighborhood, it’s amazing how many people’s wireless you can get into,” Kuhn said. “You can see all their personal information.”

If a router owner hasn’t

changed the default settings on his or her computer, anyone who connects to the router can view the shared folders of any computer on the network. Meyers said they can easily access any personal information those folders contain or run a “sniffer” program following instructions available online.

A “sniffer,” or network analyzer, program captures wireless data traffic including username and password combinations used to log in to e-mail, banking and credit card accounts.

But WVU information security experts and Kyle Schafer, the state’s chief technology officer, said there are easy ways for people to protect their personal information at home. His top tips were to avoid opening e-mails and attachments from unknown sources, and keep antivirus software up-to-date.

“All antivirus programs have an option to update,” Kuhn said.

“You can tell it to update on a daily basis, and it goes to the Internet and pulls the most recent updates.”

People should set their web browsers to block popups and install security updates when prompted, but only for programs that are already installed.

Chet Cook, senior program administrator for WVU’s OIT, said viruses and other threats are often disguised as security updates.

“It mimics the look of some-

thing that’s legitimate, but it’s malicious,” Cook said.

Schafer said most antivirus programs don’t protect against malware, malicious software designed to access a computer without the owner’s consent.

He suggested downloading Malware Bytes, a free program that protects against malware and removes existing problems.

Ultimately, people should always be cautious if their systems slow significantly for no apparent reason, regardless of what protections they have in place.

“That’s most likely an indication that you either have malware or a virus that has cropped up on the machine,” Schafer said. He suggested a full diagnostic test to identify the source of the problem.

Kuhn said it’s also important to create strong passwords that consist of at least eight characters. They should include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters such as an ampersand, asterisk or dollar sign.

Passwords should never contain personal information, however.

“Anybody can go onto the Internet and download a password cracker,” Kuhn said. “You can run it on my machine and try to crack my password. If I use my dog’s name, my street address or my telephone number, it’s easy.”

Unlocked wireless networks become more of an easy way to hack systems

fil-A were not available to comment at press time.

WVU chose to put Chick-fil-A in the Mountainlair after a survey taken three years ago indicated students liked it.

Some universities have had student groups rebel against the presence of the chain on campuses since a Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A outlet lent support to pro-heterosexual marriage seminars.

The president of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, released statements in which he said the company was not endorsing the seminars, merely providing food to them.

Program gives students chance to learn HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Jared Waldrup knows if his grades start slipping or his behavior gets out of line, he’ll have a lot of questions to answer.

The 15-year-old Huntington High School student has been enrolled in the Weed and Seed’s READ Project at the Barnett Center for the past year, and said without it, he would still be barely getting by.

“Before I started coming, I was barely doing my homework, barely skimming by.

They got me on track,” Waldrup said. “They always ask about my grades and how I’m doing and what’s going on.”

Weed and Seed director Tim White said Waldrup is one example of a child served by the program who is just looking for someone who cares.

“It’s simple. You don’t need a grant to ask how somebody’s day was,” White said.

The READ Project, which stands for Recovery Education The Daily Athenaeum USPS 141-980, is published daily fall and spring school terms on Monday thru Friday mornings and weekly on Wednesday during the summer terms, except school holidays and scheduled examination periods by the West Virginia University Committee for Student Publications at 284 Prospect St., Morgantown, WV, 26506 Second class postage is paid at Morgantown, WV 26506.

And Development, is only in its second year, but is already seeing results, grades are improving, life skills are being learned and struggling young adults are becoming productive students and citizens. All but one student have brought their grades up to passing, and White said the one still lagging could be above passing after turning in a few missed assignments.

“Every second we’re engaging them is one less second they’re being drawn to something bad. I tell them, You may live in the hood, but the hood doesn’t have to live in you,” White said.

Every Monday through Thursday, year-round, students visit the Barnett Center for a slew of one-on-one tutoring, programs and activities designed to enhance mind, body and spirit. On average, 12 to 15 students get a hot meal, help with homework, life skills training including anger management, budgeting and job hunting, and educational information on bullying, the proper way to treat the opposite sex and handson cooking classes. Teachers are provided, and paid for, by the Cabell County Board of Education.

“The first hour is all academic. If they don’t have homework, we’ll give them homework flash cards, book reports,” White said. “The first step out of poverty and public assistance is a good education.

A lot of these kids never saw college in their future. Now, a number of them are looking to that possibility..”

READ students are now finding themselves in sports, ROTC, show choir and Weed

and Seed projects including Teen Court and the Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership, where once grades prohibited their involvement. White and the involved teachers can check in online at their students schools to look at homework assignments, grades and any behavioral issues.

“This is more than just making sure they pass school. We want them to pass life,” White said. “I’d rather have a C student who has good life skills and can make good decisions than an A student who can’t function.”

Of course, being in READ has its perks. Good grades and good behavior mean monthly rewards t rips for pizza and laser tag, to the zoo and the water park, 16-year-old Elijah Brown’s favorite.

“We do a lot above and beyond academics,” White said.

“We want them to realize that hard work pays off.”

“They made me go down this slide, and I’m afraid of heights. It wasn’t so bad after the first time,” said Brown, who recently earned a 2.8 GPA after years of failing grades.

“They help me out a lot here.”

One of White’s students will speak in Washington, D.C., in early February on youth issues facing West Virginia. His audience? West Virginia Sens. Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller.

Waldrup, who hopes to join the Army in a few years, said he is now considering a choice between simply enlisting or adding higher education with his enlistment. It is the work of White and the READ Project teachers that has encouraged him to not only be all he can be, but more, he said.

Obama, Chamber look to highlight common ground

WASHINGTON (AP) — After two years of vociferous conflict over health care and financial regulations, President Barack Obama and the nation’s top business lobby – the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – have entered into something of a detente.

Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech Monday at the Chamber, a first for him. Not four months ago, he had attacked the huge, Republicanleaning trade organization for failing to disclose donors to its $32 million congressional political campaign. “Their lips are sealed,” Obama said at the time, “but the floodgates are open.”

The White House and the Chamber now are highlighting areas of common ground and expressing a joint commitment to creating jobs.

Obama has stressed his new economic agenda, featuring competitiveness, innovation, energy and entrepreneurship.

Disagreements linger and are no less vehement, but they no longer are the subject of loud legislative battles and big-dollar advertising campaigns by the Chamber.

White House officials say Obama’s speech will not break new policy ground, nor will he offer an olive branch. But in his radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said he planned to tell businesses they have an obligation to stay in the United States, hire American workers and invest in the nation’s future.

The speech – part nudge, part courtship – is a message to business that is hardly limited to the Chamber of Commerce. Obama met with some of the nation’s top 20 executives in December, gently prodding them to get cash off their balance sheets and use it to create jobs. Also in December, he negotiated a compromise with Republicans on tax cuts that won him some grudging boardroom support.

It wasn’t always so. During his first two years as president, Obama was known to play a populist hand, referring to bankers as “fat cats,” rebuking corporate lobbyists and

casting the insurance industry as an antagonist in the health care debate. So bitter were the fights, they overshadowed areas of solid agreement, including the Chamber’s support of Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus plan and the bailout of automakers General Motors and Chrysler.

“What’s changed now? I would use four words,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The election has changed.”

The Republican wave in the November election wrested control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats. It created a need for more compromise in the legislative process and for the type of outreach Obama did not seek – and Republicans did not offer – when Democrats were in total control.

Obama needs the centrist cloak that the business community offers. The Chamber can benefit by softening the sharp edges it developed fighting the health care overhaul and tighter financial rules.

Both sides need each other for policy, as well. The Chamber can help the Obama administration win congressional support of trade deals, particularly a recently renegotiated pact with South Korea.

Both the White House and the Chamber face Republican opposition to increased spending on public works, from roads and bridges to wireless networks.

On trade, on infrastructure and – mostly – on regulations, Donohue said, companies want certainty from the government.

“The reason the companies are sitting on $2 trillion worth of cash is because of uncertainty,” he said.

Obama long has had allies in the private sector. He has given corporate CEOs advisory roles, and throughout his first two years, he held periodic lunches with executives at the White House. But until now, he had not brought them into his inner circle.

Last month, that changed.

Obama named Bill Daley, a former commerce secretary and JPMorgan Chase executive, as his chief of staff. He promoted Gene Sperling, a known quantity to the business community, as his new chief economic adviser. He gave high-profile assignments to General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt and AOL founder Steve Case.

In one of his first calls in his new post, Sperling called Donohue, who welcomed him with characteristic bluntness: “Glad to have someone over there I’m comfortable sparring with at 10 a.m. and sitting down with at 2 p.m. to work on policy.”

The story, confirmed by White House and Chamber officials, helps illustrate the 2011 version of this relationship.

Donohue also saw Daley’s appointment as a positive signal.

“Daley is a big-time Democrat, but he’s a sound guy,” Donohue said. “He knows how the town works, he knows how business works. He knows how the system works.”

Still, the Chamber can be a sharp-elbowed foe.

“The Chamber is an enormously sophisticated Washington insider organization and is run by very conservative Republican operatives, for the most part,” said Matt Bennett, a vice president at the centrist but Democraticleaning Third Way. “That relationship is always going to be more difficult than the broader outreach to business.”

But the joint focus these days is jobs. In front of the 10 massive Corinthian columns that grace the front of the Chamber’s building, Donohue has authorized the placement of giant banners that spell out J-O-B-S. The letters are visible from the White House through the bare winter trees of Lafayette Square – offering both a sign of common purpose and a reminder to the White House occupant of the 9 percent unemployment rate that still bedevils him.

United States backs Egypt reform moves, seeks global support MUNICH (AP) — The U.S. threw its weight behind nascent reforms led by Egypt’s new vice president as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that international support was crucial to prevent extremists from hijacking the political transition.

A “perfect storm” of economic woes, repression and popular discontent could destabilize the Middle East beginning in Egypt, said Clinton, lending strong backing for Vice President Omar Suleiman’s efforts.

Clinton’s comments at an international security conference suggested that although the administration stills wants to see quick and concrete steps to change, it believes Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has set in motion the “orderly transition” it had demanded by appointing Suleiman, pledging not to run for re-election in a scheduled September vote and taking his son, Gamal, out of the succession picture.

“We have to send a consistent message supporting the orderly transition that has begun,” Clinton told government officials, politicians, security experts and policy analysts.

Suleiman, appointed as Egypt’s first vice president during Mubarak’s three-decade reign, has begun to reach out to long-ignored opposition figures and aims to make constitutional and other changes before the elections are held. Suleiman was elevated from intelligence chief amid violent anti-government protests seeking to topple Mubarak.

The White House said Vice President Joe Biden had called Suleiman to ask about progress in the talks and stress “the need for a concrete reform agenda, a clear timeline, and immediate steps that demonstrate to the public and the opposition that the Egyptian government is committed to reform.”

President Barack Obama called German Chancellor An-

gela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and also spoke with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, a U.S. ally in the Gulf, to help coordinate Egypt policy.

Meanwhile in Munich, Clinton met a host of European and other officials to plot strategy. A senior State Department official said the outreach was happening because the U.S. “doesn’t want to own this.”

Clinton said outside support for Suleiman’s efforts was essential despite risks of shortterm instability, as illustrated by reports of an alleged attack Saturday on an oil pipeline in the Sinai Peninsula. An Egyptian gas company official said the explosion and fire was caused by a gas leak; a regional official said earlier that sabotage was suspected.

Such unsubstantiated reports bring “into sharp relief the challenges that we are facing as we navigate through this period,” Clinton said.

“There are forces at work in any society and particularly one that is facing these kinds of challenges that will try to derail or overtake the process to pursue their own specific agenda,” she said. “It’s important to support the transition process announced by the Egyptian government actually headed” by Suleiman.

Her comments were a departure from the Obama administration’s earlier stance that cen-

tered almost entirely on the need for the transition to begin immediately.

“It takes time to think those through, to decide how one is going to proceed, who will emerge as leaders. The principles are very clear. The operational details are very challenging,” she said, stressing that the transition should happen as quickly as possible.

Frank Wisner, the retired American diplomat sent by Obama to Cairo this past week to tell Mubarak that the U.S. saw his rule coming to an end, said Mubarak had to keep a leadership role at least temporarily if the “fragile glimmerings” of progress were to take hold as quickly as needed.

“President Mubarak’s role remains utterly critical in the days ahead while we sort our way toward a future” in which Egypt is peaceful and moderate, and committed to its international obligations, including its peace treaty with Israel, Wisner said in his first public comments about the mission.

He told the conference by a video from New York that the international community had to play a “protective and encouraging role.”

“There is a chance, but we are in the early stages of seeing this take shape,” Wisner said. “It is not certain that matters cannot slip off the rails, that you can’t have renewed violence, violence in which radicals can push their case forward.”

In this Feb. 2, file photo, supporters of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh rally, holding his portrait, in Sanaa, Yemen, after the president said he would not seek another term in office or hand power to his son. This iS an apparent reaction to protests in this impoverished nation inspired by Tunisia’s revolt and the turmoil in Egypt. The unrest engulfing Arab streets and threatening authoritarian governments in the Mideast is complicating U.S. counter terrorism efforts, further shaking the volatile battleground against al-Qaida in Yemen.

Unrest in Middle East complicates US counterterrorism efforts WASHINGTON (AP) — The unrest engulfing Arab streets and threatening authoritarian governments in the Mideast is complicating U.S. counterterrorism efforts, scrambling the volatile battleground against al-Qaida in Yemen and raising concerns about the durability of Egypt’s stance against militants.

U.S. counterterrorism officials need to move quickly to firm up relationships with veteran Mideast intelligence and security services in the aftermath of momentous changes, experts say. Lingering confusion over who will take the reins of power could hamper instant decision-making in the short term.

Over the longer term, will the U.S. be able to work as closely against al-Qaida and other terrorist groups if important allies such as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh cede power to Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood?

“Right now the situation is

so fluid it’s just about impossible to make any determinations about long-term repercussions,” said Roger Cressey, a former counterterrorism deputy in the Clinton and second Bush administrations. “The counterterrorism community has to be cautious about even jumping six months ahead.”

Uncertainty about whether the U.S. can depend on Arab allies to join against militants comes amid growing American concerns following a string of failed attacks plotted in Yemen and al-Qaida’s home base inside Pakistan. Less reliance on Mideast partners could force the U.S. to strike back on its own there, if a future terrorist attack were to succeed.

“The next time American interests are attacked and there’s a return address in Yemen, the U.S. may have to act unilaterally,” said Christopher Boucek, an expert with the Washingtonbased Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

U.S. counterterrorism officials worry that continuing demonstrations in the Yemeni

capital in Sana’a could led the country’s security forces to focus more on protecting the government, giving breathing room to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, suspected in plots against the U.S. in recent months.

Some street protests have come from pro-democracy elements, Boucek said. Others have been stirred by Islamic fundamentalist and secessionist groups already arrayed against Saleh’s government.

In a sign of the mounting alarm about Yemen’s role as a terrorist staging, President Barack Obama told Saleh on the phone this past week about the need for “forceful action” against the al-Qaida affiliate.

Obama did praise “the significant reform measures” that Saleh ordered to defuse the protests.

Obama also took the unusual step of publicly chiding Saleh for releasing Abd-Ilah al-Shai, a sympathizer of the al-Qaida group who had been sentenced to five years for his ties with it.

Everyone must prevent spreading the flu Avoiding the flu is on everyone’s agenda during the winter months. Especially for students who must attend class regardless of the circumstances.

In an effort to keep West Virginia University influenzafree, WELL WVU will be offering free flu shots for students and employees Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Vandalia Lounge of the Mountainlair.

All students and faculty

should take advantage of this opportunity to protect themselves from this contagious virus. It is everyone’s responsibility to reduce the spread of the flu.

Symptoms include fever, sore throat, fatigue, cough, headache and muscle aches.

The seasonal flu is known to be unpredictable, and estimates of flu-associated deaths range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people, according to the Cen-

ter for Disease Control.

While the flu shot is not 100 percent effective, most experts agree that your chances of avoiding the flu are greatly increased by getting a flu shot.

There should be no reason for students and faculty to ignore this offer from the University.

Aside from getting vaccinated, regularly washing and sanitizing your hands is an effective approach to staying flu-free. The University offers

hand sanitizer dispensers all over campus that all students should use to protect against the flu.

For those who have already become ill, keeping your hands clean is essential to not spread it to others.

Also it is best to cough or sneeze in a bent elbow, coughing or sneezing in your hand will likely lead to spreading germs.

These are the days when missing class is encouraged.

Going to class on the days when you have a fever will spread the sickness to others.

So, make sure days missed are saved for when they are needed.

Spring is on the horizon, along with the end of the seasonal flu, which according to the CDC, lasts until about March. But all efforts to minimize the spread of the flu should not stop soon.

University needs to be more open about meal plan costs tomas engle columnist

It’s been a whole semester and then some since freshmen started eating on the mandatory meal plan. At this point, they should have a pretty good idea of what they get with it.

Knowing what they know now, most students after their freshmen year decline to go on the meal plan again, for some very good reasons.

Upon entering West Virginia University, incoming freshmen must sign a housing contract to live in the dorms, as well as their choice of meal plan for the University’s dining halls.

The University meal plans range from $1,609 to $2,211 per semester, and while this may seem like a lot at one time, the numbers should look better per meal.

With weeks per semester at around 16, the range per meal for all plans stretches from $6.29 to $10.06, with the lowest (Mountaineer plan at 19 a week) being the only plan within a reasonable range of what a student would normally spend per meal outside of college.

And all of this is assuming students spend their entire semester planning around dining hall hours, making sure they use every meal every day, or else the meals go to waste.

Sure there are the places in the Mountainlair, but not every place there takes meal transfers: Quiznos, Burger King, Taziki’s and (the soonto-be-opened) Chick-fil-A all do, but not Sbarro.

Retail space in the Mountainlair is a precious

applecellarbakery.com

commodity for a business. For many, it will be on par with having a branch in an airport, but better.

Not only will they have the captive audience an airport will have, but they will also be able to take advantage of students transferring their meals up to a certain dollar amount.

So why would Sbarro even want to be in the Mountainlair, or more importantly, why would the University even allow an eatery inconvenient for students on the meal plan into what is basically our student union building?

I tried to contact Sbarro

for this story but was unfortunately unable to get a response from their manager.

Sbarro, though, is just one part of the confusing mess that is the WVU student meal plan system.

Let’s say students are OK with the fact they may not be able to use every meal available to them on their plan, but they would like to get a partial refund of those meals they missed.

Many students can get into this situation if they are a resident assistant in the dorms (and get a meal plan as part of their benefits) or those students who, because of their

major, only end up using one meal per day, at most, because of their tight schedules.

These students, despite paying for a meal plan that entitles them to a certain amount of meals, are not able to get a refund of the meals they paid for but “missed.”

That the University cannot pay these students even a partial refund of the missed meal’s monetary value is a joke.

The University is making some reforms, though, with students being able to check their meal plans and Meals Plus balances via their MIX account “soon,” according to

Student Government Association governor Ryan Campione – last semester.

D espite s ome positive changes in the arena of choices (Chick-fil-A) and healthier alternatives (Taziki’s), the University needs to improve more on communicating to the student body where their money goes when they pay for a meal plan.

The University has to be making a lot of money up front on overcharging and making mandatory the purchase of a meal plan by freshmen, but then losing a large amount each year when students choose not to buy a

meal plan once they actually have a choice.

For any other business in the real world, this would be a financial disaster, and not last more than a year without a government granted monopoly.

If the costs are justified, the University should have no problem in explaining where the funds go.

Its deafening silence on this issue speaks volumes, and in this time of economic difficulty for many students, the University should “leave no doubt” that they do in fact have our best interests at heart and speak up.

The Academy Awards snubs stir latest round of awards show skepticism jordan berry The Crimson White uwire

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released this year’s list of Oscar nominations, the response went something like this: “The Oscars are crap. I mean, they didn’t even nominate Christopher Nolan for ‘Inception.’ What were they thinking?”

What are they ever thinking?

With any awards show, you are bound to have some omissions and inclusions that make many people scratch their heads. The Academy is no different.

Unfortunately, the Academy

catches more grief than most due to the highly publicized nature of the awards and the reputation they carry.

These criticisms are not without merit.

To be fair, though, the Academy gets many things right with their nominations. But when they goof, they goof big-time.

For many people, the headlining snub for the 83rd Academy Awards is the omission of Christopher Nolan from the list of five nominees for Achievement in Directing.

When I ask people what makes a director “good,” most say that “vision” – however defined – is the number one trademark of a good director.

If they are correct, it is hard to argue with their outcry over Mr. Nolan’s snub.

There were few movies or directors this year with better vision than “Inception.” Unfortunately, when I look at the Academy’s list of nominees, almost all of them are the ones I would include as having such vision.

In my opinion, it is hard to see just which one is guilty of being the “most obviously undeserving” of the bunch.

I will admit I was shocked by his omission. His peers at the Directors Guild of America nominated him.

However, I guess in hindsight I should not have been too surprised. After all, Nolan was not nominated for “The Dark Knight.” (It is also thought that the film’s Best Picture snub was the reason the Academy went to ten nominees for Best Picture last

year.)

But you want to know the “Inception” snub that makes even less sense? Lee Smith for Best Film Editing.

Anyone who has seen “Inception” knows that the last half of the film is crafted with extreme intricacy and precision.

At one point we have four levels of the same narrative unfolding before us. It’s mind-blowing.

Smith’s absence is criminal.

You will not convince me otherwise. But “Inception” is not the only film getting attention for its snubs.

The award for Best Actor is pretty much Colin Firth’s to lose.

However, in terms of getting nominated, much anguish was had for fans of Robert Duvall

in “Get Low,” Ryan Gosling in “Blue Valentine,” and even “Inception” star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Many feel that the spot for these three guys went to Javier Bardem for “Biutiful.” For my money, I would have Ryan Gosling take the place of Jeff Bridges.

This pains me greatly, as I am a huge fan of Mr. Bridges; however, his work for “Crazy Heart” last year was much stronger. (I am not saying that winning the previous year should hurt potential nominees, though.)

“The Social Network,” despite dominating the Golden Globes, failed to see its best performer score a nod.

Jesse Eisenberg gives one of the year’s finest leading performances, but Andrew Gar-

field was the anchor of that movie.

I do not think he would beat out Christian Bale (“The Fighter”), Geoffrey Rush (“The King’s Speech”), or Jeremy Renner (“The Town”), but he deserves a nomination.

I could go on about how “The Town” deserves a nod for Best Picture, but that could fill another whole column.

And I think that’s the point with these Oscar snubs. They inspire passion about our attitudes toward film.

They are a reminder that what we love about individual films cannot be taken from us, even if they do not get the recognition they deserve.

Who cares in the end whether Christopher Nolan gets nominated for his films?

Just keep ‘em coming.

‘STOMP’ to make noise at WVU CAC by jesse tabit A&E writer

The wildly successful percussion sensation “STOMP” will be performing two soldout shows at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center tonight and Wednesday.

A percussion instrument is defined as the sound made when an action affects a certain object that is struck.

The eight-member group is famous for using conventional instruments such as brooms, garbage cans and hubcaps to make rhythmic sounds.

It’s a very unique show that’s great for families and friends to come out and enjoy, said Alison Daly, public relations specialist for WVU Arts

and Entertainment.

Originally created in 1991

by Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell in Britain, the performers of STOMP use anything (mostly practical objects) to make beats and perform choreographed dances.

STOMP first appeared in America in 1994 and has since been featured throughout popular media, including commercials for Coca-Cola, Target and Japan.

The troupe has also appeared on the Academy Awards, the Emmys and “Good Morning America.”

“I’ve personally seen the show, and the artists are remarkable,” Daly said. “They use ordinary objects (like brooms

and newspapers) to create beats, and it’s mind-blowing.”

Katy Trupo, a junior biochemistry major, is anxious to see the popular troupe make its first appearance in Morgantown since 2004.

“I’m excited because the show is internationally acclaimed, and it’s something different to do in Morgantown,” Trupo said.

Matt Horter, a junior history major, has seen the concert and really enjoyed it.

“I liked it because it was different than anything I’ve ever seen before,” he said.

The show is recognized worldwide as unique and innovative.

In 2004, New York celebrated the 10 year anniversary

of STOMP in the city by changing the name of 2nd Avenue at 8th Street to Stomp Avenue.

Also, Stomp’s New York Production made its 5,000th performance in 2006.

The group’s eight is made up of experienced drummers, tap-dancers, percussionists and dancers.

Daly said the musical troupe will have many surprises in store for the audiences in the next two nights and things have changed since the last time they were in Morgantown in 2004.

STOMP will be showing at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the CAC on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

Latin Market opens downtown by ashlie walter A&E writer

Garcia’s Latin Market offers a variety of items hard to find in other local supermarkets.

Small Black to bring its dance-pop sound to 123

New York-based pop band Small Black will perform at 123 Pleasant St. tonight.

by alex mcpherson correspondent

New York’s Small Black will bring its ethereal dance-pop sound to 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

The Long Island based band has been tearing up the net with their single “Despicable Dogs” and has finally found time to make a pit-stop in Morgantown.

Former WVU philosophy student Matt Randolph looked for interest in the band.

After last year’s debut album, New Chain, Small Black’s has been touring the country in promotion.

“It’s $5 to see a break-out band,” Randolph said. “Odds are they won’t be back in Morgantown and it’s pretty risk free.”

Also slated to appear is sister Brooklyn band the So So Glos and Morgantown’s own David Bello.

“I think the biggest draw will be Small Black, who have never played here, but have a pretty good following around the country,” Bello said. “I know their song ‘Despicable Dogs’ has gotten tons of coverage online, and they’ve played shows with a lot bigger bands too, so they definitely have a lot of cred.”

Tuesdays are always a harder sell than the weekend, but even 123 Pleasant Street owner LJ Giuliani has faith

myspace

people will come out for some good music.

“Sometimes you don’t get to pick what night your shows are,” Giuliani said. “So we’re taking them when we can get them. Here in Morgantown you won’t always get an opportunity to see (up-and-coming new bands). I think it’s going to be a good show.”

Small Black’s fogged over voices with electronic tape tracks combine effervescence with danceable pop.

“Small Black’s album was one of my favorites of 2010, and I’m excited to see them play live for such a cheap price,” said Natalie Snyder, sophomore print journalism major.

The So So Glos are akin to indie-pop outfit, and David Bello’s indie-guitar has become a 123 staple.

“I’m gonna be using a delay pedal to loop my guitar and voice while I sing and play guitar on top of it, and that’s just a few songs,” Bello said. “Mostly it’ll be pretty straight forward song stuff, but I’ll be doing a few new ones I haven’t played in front of people yet.”

If that’s not enough draw, between sets, Tony Bones, previous Mayday DJ, will be playing some tracks to keep the party going.

The show starts at 10 tonight. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Brooke Cassidy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Garcia’s Latin Market had their grand opening Friday.

The store sells food, spices, pottery, jewelry, coffee, housewares and gift baskets, and is owned by Ralph and Amy Garcia and their daughter Jennifer.

The Garcia’s were inspired to open a store when they realized the only way to get the ingredients for their traditional Mexican recipes was to drive to Pittsburgh.

“My family has hosted international students in the past and the Latin students would always have to go to Pittsburgh to get their Latin products,” Jennifer said.

The family is originally from Texas and moved to Morgantown when Jennifer wanted to attend West Virginia University in 1999.

Outside the store, Ralph Garcia is a principal at Albert Gallatin South Middle School in Pennsylvania, and Amy Garcia works in Patient services at a hospital.

Brooke Cassidy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Garcias Latin Market is located at 117 Pleasant Street in downtown Morgantown.

The Garcia’s did a lot of research to find most of the products, and they are of Mexican nationality said Jennifer.

“From hosting international students, we hear what they want, what their friends want and just research,” Jennifer said.

“If they want to try something unique, buy a special gift or try out a new Latin recipe they might find, their ingredients here,” said Jennifer.

The products are imported from select countries, as well as Talavera pottery and pewter from Mexico; dinnerware

from Spain; jewelry from Texico, N.M.; and purses from various countries.

More products from Italy will be arriving soon.

“It’s different, and not things you can get from the local market,” she said. “Most of our products are imported from (different) countries, so it’s a specialty store.”

The Garcia’s Latin Market is located at 117 Pleasant St., across from Black Bear Burritos, in Morgantown. ashlie.walter@mail.wvu.edu

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you are energized and verbal. Sometimes people absolutely love this more expressive you. Other times, you push people away. Be aware of the dimensions of your rhetoric. News from a distance could be more touchy than in the past. If you are single, you meet people with ease. With your hot temper, an easy, steady bond might be difficult to achieve. Relating becomes easy if you are attached, once you soften your style. Your sweetie will want to come in closer as a result.

TAURUS can be an albatross.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might be slow to start, but you zoom by midday. Accept a difficult person. He or she is not changing for a while, if ever.

A male friend could be unusually assertive. Tonight: Where the action is.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Assume a low profile. Fatigue drags you down. A boss could become difficult. You know the words to soothe his or her soul. Be ready to back up what you say with action. Tonight: Get as much R and R as possible.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Go for what you want. When speaking to a group of people, express your imagination. Fatigue could mark a child or loved one who might be difficult. Go back and do more research as more facts appear.

Tonight: Where the crowds are.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH An active stance surprises no one. A family

member doesn’t support your approach or desire to get key matters under control. A partner or associate could be too assertive for your taste. Know that anything can happen. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Make an effort to get past another person’s vitriol and to get to the real issue. This person might not be able to explain his or her stance, forcing you to do the work to decipher his or her message. Conversations will allow more give-and-take once there is mutuality. Tonight: Follow the music.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You often defer to a partner. Today this person is happy to pitch in. You might be overwhelmed by others’ need to get to the bottom of a problem. Everyone wants something done yesterday. You can and will be able to cover all the bases with help. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH If you stop and consider various situations, you could be raining on your own parade -the problem is you, not others. Rather than sabotage yourself, express your emotions. Your creativity encourages a fiery display. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion. Take this person seriously.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Your ability to make a difference reflects in your productivity when you are focused. Evaluate what a family member really expects. Keep the different elements of your life separate. This style of living might be necessary with all the needy people in your life. Tonight: Work-

ing too late!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Once more, let your imagination flow. You might push away a friend who is touchy, but you cannot remain positive and upbeat with “that someone” around. Self-expression remains highlighted. Your words are heard. Tonight: Talking up a storm.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Stay anchored and direct. Fatigue marks your professional interactions. You could be too involved sometimes, and not taking good care of yourself. You might decide to spend a lot of money in order to add to your comfort. A family member is delighted by your focus. Tonight: Deal with a situation.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might be uncomfortable or too direct. You wonder what is going on and have a tremendous need for answers.

Someone close could walk away from you, causing more conflict. Be patient, and you’ll get answers. Tonight: Hanging out with a friend.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Curb a tendency to overdo it. What you think is helping could be quite off. More and more, a partner becomes closed off. Take some time alone to center before you cause yourself a problem. Ask yourself what role money plays in your life. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost.

PRSSA fashion show to benefit local Boys and Girls Club by christina Gutierrez correspondent

The West Virginia University chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America will be hosting its second annual fashion show Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballroom.

Four retailers involved in the show are Coni & Franc, The Gap, Altered Ego and Maurice’s.

“They will be donating the clothes for the day,” said Executive Board Member Christina Gnozzo. “PRSSA members will be putting the looks

together.”

Gnozzo is directing this year’s show.

Hosted by WVU’S 2010 Mr. Mountaineer, David Slusarick, the event will feature student models from different fraternities, sororities and other student organizations.

Mel Moraes, member of WVU’s Student Government Association and dance team will be performing, along with three others, between costume changes.

The theme, “Cupid, Clothes, and Community” is for Valentine’s Day, explains Moraes.

Keeping with the Valentine’s theme, the College of Creative Arts Division of Art and Design will be showcasing some of their work.

Approximately 100 people turned out for the show in Eisland Hall, raising roughly $400.

Moving the venue to the Mountainlair Ballroom and exchanging last year’s playlist with a live DJ gives members great hope of an even more successful turnout this year.

“We’re just trying to step it up from last year and raise a little more money for the Boys & Girls Club,” Gnozzo

Cowell courts groups, maybe Paula Abdul for the ‘X Factor’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Simon Cowell wants his new Fox talent series “The X Factor” to include controversy, vocal groups and, maybe, Paula Abdul on the judging panel.

“We’ve spoken to her, she knows I’m a big fan,” Cowell said of his former fellow “American Idol” judge. “I’ve always said at some point we are going to be working together.”

But, he added, “I have to take everyone’s opinions into account,” including the show’s other producers and the network.

A decision about who will join Cowell on the four-member panel has yet to be made and won’t be announced for another month or so, he said during an interview and teleconference about “The X Factor.”

The show debuts this fall.

Cowell exited Fox’s “American Idol” last season in part to focus on the new series, which has been a successful format in several countries since its debut in Britain in 2004. Abdul quit “Idol” in 2009 over a salary dispute.

The winner of the U.S. version of “X Factor” will nab a $5 million recording contract with Syco, a joint venture between Cowell and Sony Music. Cowell said that’s not a “dressed up” sum: It represents $1 million a year payment for five years, separate from the costs of recording and promotion.

Cowell, known for his sharp-tongued critiques, unsurprisingly said he favors shows on which “anything can happen.”

“I rip up the rule that everybody pretends to be friends and they’re all going to be pen pals for the rest of their lives, which is complete and utter nonsense,” he said. “I like people who are ambitious, and with that comes controversy.”

One unwelcome flap last season on the U.K. version of “X Factor” involved the revelation that the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune was used on at least one contestant’s taped audition. Cowell said Monday it was the work of sound technicians and done without his knowledge.

“Once we found out what was going on it was stopped immediately. ... The most im-

The “X Factor” contest is open to those 12 and older, including groups. Cowell is eager to find breakout talent such as the Black Eyed Peas or Destiny’s Child.

“I’m genuinely staggered this hasn’t happened. All the signs are out there, from `Glee’ to `High School Musical,’” he said, advising “any group of guys, girls, family group members, get it together now. There’s a massive, massive opportunity here because you don’t have a lot of competition.”

The hefty top prize puts pressure on Cowell as well as the winner.

“If they don’t sell a single record they still get to keep the money,” he said. “It is pressure, because if the wrong person wins, I’m in trouble. ...

We’ve got to find somebody fantastic to get the money

back” through record sales.

To do that, he needs to find a talented performer who has a sound work ethic, which he said is something he wants to “instill” in the competition.

“The big, big stars are the people prepared to work at it.

You look at somebody like Beyonce: She is the best example of somebody who works it every hour of the day,” he said.

Cowell, as “American Idol” viewers know, doesn’t lack for confidence: “I believe I can find a star,” he said.

He has seen only a few minutes of this season’s “American Idol” and its reconstituted panel with Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson, he said. But he’s been reassured by its ratings stability that viewers still have an appetite for talent shows – a good sign for “X Factor.”

Fox said Monday that auditions for contestants begin March 27 in Los Angeles, with other sessions following in the Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Seattle and New York areas.

Golden Globes sues ex-publicist LOS ANGELES (AP) — The organization that hosts the Golden Globe Awards has sued its former publicist for fraud, claiming he and his partner cannot prove allegations the group engages in payola in exchange for awards.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association sued Michael Rusell, his partner Stephen LoCascio and Russell’s public relations firm on Monday, claiming they breached a confidentiality agreement. The lawsuit also claims the pair attempted to profit off their connection with the glitzy awards show.

The lawsuit comes roughly three weeks after Russell sued the HFPA, claiming its members accepted graft in exchange for nominations and awards.

Russell’s suit was filed three days before this year’s Globes ceremony, which attracted Hollywood stars such as Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and honored actor Robert DeNiro with a lifetime achievement award.

“Without a shred of evidence, (Russell’s firm) manufactured a fanciful tale of Hollywood intrigue that harkens back to the early days of rock ‘n

said.

The PRSSA will be selling tickets to the show at its booth in the Mountainlair between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday.

Tickets purchased at the booth will be $3 and $5 at the door on the night of the show. All proceeds will benefit the Morgantown Boys & Girls Club.

“Were hoping everyone on campus comes out because it’s an easy and fun way to support the Boys and Girls Club,” Moraes said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — They may fall off the pop charts, some might even lose the muse. But these days old rock stars need not worry about fading away, not when there’s a college classroom nearby.

Rock’s gangster of love himself, Steve Miller, created some buzz recently when he became an artist-in-residence at the prestigious University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. But it turns out the guy who famously proclaimed, “I’m a joker, I’m a smoker, I’m a midnight toker” wasn’t nearly the first guitarslinger to move from the stage to the classroom.

Mark Volman, who cofounded the Turtles and later played with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, runs the entertainment studies department at Nashville’s Belmont University these days when he isn’t out on the road singing “Happy Together.”

Lamont Dozier, one third of the legendary songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland, which created hits for everyone from Phil Collins to the Supremes, lectures on his craft at USC. Around the country, everyone from punk rockers to doo-wop harmonizers are holding down teaching positions at big-name universities.

“It brings the subject matter to life for the students in a way that a professor, no matter how well intentioned, just can’t do,” Chris Sampson, dean of USC’s music school, says of turning the classroom over to people like Miller. “It makes all the learning go beyond just theory.”

Indeed, sometimes the learning even goes beyond music – way beyond music – though the musicians will tell you there’s still a connection.

Greg Graffin, who has a Ph.d in science, for example, has taught evolution and pa-

leontology at UCLA in recent years when he wasn’t on the road with the seminal punk rock band Bad Religion.

“I know it sounds crazy, but from my perspective the goal is the same,” he says of playing music and teaching science.

“The thing about the band is we’ve always been about asking questions and provoking people to think. We never maintain that we have the answers, and that’s very consistent with a scientific pursuit.”

Meanwhile, Rob Leonard, whose over-the-top version of “Teen Angel” with Sha Na Na at Woodstock can still be found on YouTube, runs the forensic linguistics department at New York’s Hofstra University. He reunited with the group last year for a concert at Hofstra marking the university’s 75th year. ”I like to say I’m one of the very few people in the world who have worked with the FBI and the Grateful Dead,” quips Leonard, who has trained FBI agents in how to analyze language for clues in solving crimes.

The musician, who also has a Ph.d, says he really got interested in linguistics after he asked his record label where all the money from one of Sha Na Na’s tours had gone – because it hadn’t gone to the group.

“They said, ‘Read the contract,’” he laughed.

That’s the message Volman, who began teaching full-time 14 years ago, says he tries to drive home to starryeyed students every school year. There’s more to succeeding in the music business, he says, than just being a great musician.

“People come in with this television idea that everybody is going to be the next Carrie Underwood,” he says. “They don’t understand how many

AP

nights you’re not going to get paid what they said you would and how many nights you’re not going to have a room to sleep in because the promoter didn’t get it in the rider you signed.”

And for those who may think the music business has evolved too much in recent years for a ‘60s- or ‘70s-era pop star to have any relevant advice for students, Volman notes “Happy Together” was downloaded approximately 90,000 times last year.

“And I make 79 cents out of the 99-cent download,” he tells the students in his music business class. “It’s a lot different than the artist who doesn’t own his own music getting 9 cents. I tell them that and they say, ‘I want to own my own music too.’”

Music publishing is also one of the areas Miller, who lectures at USC part-time as an adjunct professor because of music commitments, has focused on during his time there.

Volman, although he teaches and runs his department, also still finds time to go out on the road about 50 times a year with the Turtles.

It’s something that gives him stories to tell the students, as well as ideas for projects to assign involving booking tours.

He’d also like to see more veteran music pros cross over to the classroom, agreeing they bring more to the table in terms of real-life experience.

The biggest thing holding most back from teaching full-time, he says, is the advanced degrees required by most universities. He didn’t earn a master’s degree himself until he was in his 50s.

But once those bridges are crossed, say the musicians who have done it, the rest of the transition isn’t that hard.

Mountaineers fall to Kentucky by brad joyal sports writer

The No. 1 West Virginia rifle team had hopes of defending its 2009 Great American Rifle Conference regular season title when it faced No. 4 Kentucky on Saturday.

That didn’t happen.

The Mountaineers (10-2, 5-1 GARC) were defeated by the Wildcats’ school-record performance 4,696-4,680.

With its only remaining match before the NCAA qualifiers on Sunday, West Virginia bounced back to set a collegiate aggregate score to beat No. 11 Columbus State 4,704-4,607.

The Mountaineers became the first team to break the 4,700 barrier, an accomplishment head coach Jon Hammond said his team had been aiming for all season long.

“Its something we’ve been working toward,” Hammond said. “After the loss the day before, we knew we could be better. It was a huge accomplishment, and I think it showed a lot of courage from the team to bounce in that matter.”

West Virginia was out matched in both disciplines on Saturday, losing 2,3222,320 and 2,374-2,360 in small-

bore and air rifle, respectively.

The victory gave Kentucky its fourth GARC regular season title and its first since 2009.

Despite senior Nicco Campriani’s first place aggregate score of 1,185 the Mountaineers were unable to match Kentucky, who were led by a second-place finish from Henri Junghanel, who finished with a combined score of 1,177.

“We didn’t shoot well,” Hammond said. “We’re not controlling the opposition, Kentucky shot a school record.

If they scored 30 points less and we won, we still wouldn’t have been happy with our performance.”

After suffering only its second loss of the season, the team was in need for strong performances to bounce back in its final regular season match. The Mountaineers didn’t have to wait long to heal the pain of its loss to Kentucky.

Campriani shot a perfect 600 in air rifle for the second time in three matches. The Florence, Italy, native coupled his strong air rifle performance with a season-high score of 592 in smallbore.

Campriani’s combined score of 1,192 is a school-record.

Sophomore Petra Zublas-

ing posted a season-high 1,184 to finish in second, while junior Justin Pentz finished third with a score of 1,166. Zublasing finished behind Campriani in both disciplines with a season-best 588 in smallbore along with a 596 in air rifle.

Pentz shot a season-best 590 in air rifle.

“There were some great performances,” Hammond said.

“The second 600 in a month for Nicco is a great accomplishment. There were two great scores from Petra especially in smallbore, and it was great to see Justin have a great weekend all around.”

This weekend marked the second road trip in which the Mountaineers competed on consecutive days. After losing the conference title on Saturday, Hammond said he was happy to see the way his team responded to close out the regular season.

“I don’t think it was as much about a win or a loss,” Hammond said. “It was good to see improvements. Going on the road and shooting in a different place can be difficult at times, so it was good to see them figure everything out and bounce back.”

WVU places second at Penn State

By Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

The West Virginia gymnastics team used a near-perfect vault showing and a strong floor routine to help it to a second-place finish at No. 21 Penn State’s quad-meet Sunday.

The Mountaineers (6-3, 3-1 East Atlantic Gymnastics League) had three gymnasts get a score of 9.9 or higher on vault. Junior Tina Maloney and sophomore Alaska Richardson each scored a career-high 9.9.

Freshman Hope Sloanhoffer, the EAGL’s top vaulter, scored a 9.95.

Sloanhoffer finished first in the event, while Maloney and Richardson tied for third.

The team finished with 49.375 points, which was just .15 points shy of tying the school record set in 2004.

In addition to winning the vault exercise, WVU also won the floor competition, scoring 48.55 points on floor. The Mountaineers also finished second on bars (48.65) and fourth on beam (47.475).

“We had a wonderful meet,

except for on balance beam again,” said gymnastics coach Linda Burdette-Good. “So we’re going to need to work hard to remedy that, because the other events were amazing.”

The Nittany Lions (5-4, 0-2 Big Ten Conference) finished first with 195.55 points. Penn State had the top two overall scorers as Madison Merriam (38.875) finished first and Sharaya Musser (38.825) took second. Pitt (3-5, 0-4 EAGL) placed third with a 193.475 score and lost to West Virginia for the second time in as many weeks. Bridgeport (5-6) scored 192.25 and finished in fourth place.

Sophomore Chelsea Goldschrafe finished first on floor with 9.775 points and set a career high on vault, scoring a 9.8, which was good for ninth place.

Senior Amy Bieski kept moving up the WVU all-time career points list as she passed Shannon Migli for 10th place with 1,706.4 points. Bieski also finished sixth overall Sunday with a 38.2 all-around score.

The Nanticoke, Pa., native recorded a 9.825 on vault, to go along with a 9.7 on bars.

Burdette-Good attributed the teams vaulting success to assistant coach Travis Doak and the extra work he has put in with the gymnasts.

“Travis has done a great job with landing drills, and that’s what happened.” BurdetteGood said. “We didn’t move on our landings, and that really pays off, when you do not take a step.”

Sophomore Kaylyn Millick also had a strong performance.

She placed first on the team and tied for third overall with a 9.775 on beam.

The balance beam has been the Achilles’ heel for the Mountaineers this year, but Burdette-Good is confident the team can turn things around.

“Once we solve this, it’s going to help us down the road, because that’s what the answer is when we’re trying to qualify or win a championship,” Burdette-Good said. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

Carrier sets record in 60-meter hurdles

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

Chelsea Carrier set a school record this weekend for the No. 9 West Virginia track team in the 60-meter hurdles. Carrier finished with a time of 8.21, breaking the former record of 8.22 set by Stacian Brown in 1999 on Sunday at the GaREAT National Invitational.

Carrier also qualified for the NCAA National Championship event, one of WVU coach Sean Cleary’s main goals for the weekend.

“We came into the weekend looking to qualify for the Big East and NCAA Champi-

onships,” he said. “We left accomplishing those goals.”

Heather Adams also qualified for the Big East Conference championship with a personal-best in the weight throw. Adams finished in third place after a throw of 15.27 meters.

The Mountaineers also had impressive showings in the mile with Kaylyn Christopher and Jessica O’Connell finishing second and third, respectively.

Christopher crossed the finish-line in just 4:41.61, while O’Connell posted a time of 4:42.

Tuesday February 8, 2011

West Virginia forward Deniz Kilicli has a history of success against Pittsburgh.

He proved that once against Monday night in a 71-66 loss to the No. 4 Panthers.

The sophomore was nearly unstoppable on offense – with his hook shot. He dominated Pitt center Gary McGhee in the post, finishing with a careerhigh 19 points. He also had two rebounds.

“I scored 19 points, and we lost today,” Kilicli said. “I would rather score two points and win.”

The source of all of Kilicli’s points on the night came by the use of what is quickly becoming his trademark – the hook shot.

“Every good post player should step in or drop step,” Kilicli said. “I just step, and I don’t really think about what I’m doing. It feels good, so I just shoot it.”

Head coach Bob Huggins admitted it was a goal to get Kilicli more involved in the of-

fense, because the Mountaineers have struggled to score consistently from the field.

“We should’ve thrown him the ball at the Villanova game, but we didn’t,” Huggins said.

“We can’t shoot it. I get tired of watching them miss.”

The Panthers had no answer for Kilicli’s offensive style as they continually threw different defenders in his direction.

“He did a really good job tonight,” said guard Dalton Pepper. “Deniz was pretty much scoring every time he touched the ball, so we were trying to make it a focus of getting him the ball every time we went down the floor.”

McGhee was the toughest defender Kilicli had to face on the night in the forward’s eyes, but the shots continued to fall.

“All of the shots I took were contested by (Gary) McGhee,” said Kilicli. “They were some tough shots. We were coming together and making contact on almost every shot.”

To some, a strong offensive game by Kilicli against a solid defender like McGhee might indicate he is starting to feel

a sense of belonging just one short year after his debut.

Kilicli, however, has felt at home since the very beginning.

“I have always felt that I could play with the guys in this league,” Kilicli said. “I always felt from the first day that I stepped on this campus I belonged.”

That sense of belonging along with a strong offensive game is something forward Kevin Jones see as important for the Mountaineers as they continue their stretch run of conference play.

“We definitely need his post play for the rest of the Big East schedule,” Jones said.

In last year’s game against Pittsburgh in Morgantown, West Virginia forward Deniz Kilicli had a coming out party of sorts.

After sitting out the first 20 games of the season due to an NCAA suspension, the native of Turkey scored nine points in just seven minutes of action in his first collegiate game. brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 12 in the game, who is out with a knee injury.

“They have good players and a good coach,” Huggins said.

“They share the ball. It’s admirable in today’s time, because there are a bunch of guys around that think they’re going to go play in the league. They just have guys that play to win.”

WVU kept the game close throughout the second half.

Pitt’s lead didn’t grow larger than six until the game was all but over with less than a minute to play.

The Mountaineers couldn’t keep Pittsburgh off the scoreboard, especially with less than six minutes to play.

“They started to get momentum with the putbacks,” Kilicli said. “That changed the whole game … They started to guard better than what they do and rebound than what they do, and you get down.”

WVU forward John Flowers recorded his fourth foul with 11:17 to play, and WVU was forced to use him sparingly the rest of the way, which allowed Pitt to use its driving ability against the Mountaineers.

“When John gets in foul trouble … our athleticism really takes a dive,” Huggins said.

Despite the loss of Flowers for much of the second half, the Mountaineers would cut the Pitt lead to two at two separate points in less than a two-

percent (11-for-40) outside the paint, including a 4-for-17 mark from 3-point range.

The Mountaineers endured a 14:50 stretch in the first half against the Panthers during which no player other than Kilicli made a field goal.

“I’m tired of watching them miss shots,” said head coach Bob Huggins. “After awhile, you’re like ‘Damn, can’t someone bank one in or something?’”

WVU even cut the lead to one after Kilicli made an athletic layup and a free throw to make it 59-58 Pitt with 4:03 remaining.

On the other end, however, the Mountaineers allowed an easy Pitt score. In what was likely the most decisive play of the game, it looked as if the Panthers would be called on a back-court violation, but the referees said the ball hit off Kilicli’s foot before traveling to the backcourt.

After the no-call, Gilbert Brown drove right past Kilicli for the layup.

After a missed hook shot

by Kilicli on the other end, the Mountaineers gave up another layup – this time to Wanamaker to go up 63-58 and

close out the victory.

WVU had an early 6-0 advantage and eventually took an eight-point lead to start the game feeding off the 14,175 fans and raucous, filled student section that lined up outside the Coliseum starting Sunday evening.

That crowd would become less boisterous throughout the game, as the Mountaineers lost the lead throughout the remainder of the contest.

Guard Dalton Pepper finished with eight points, including two 3-pointers in the second half. Guard Casey Mitchell scored his first points since being reinstated following a suspension. He finished with seven points.

Kevin Jones’ presence, Truck Bryant’s ability to drive the lane and leading scorer Casey Mitchell’s return from suspension, the team has a small chance of being successful unless Kilicli gets his touches.

But as much as the WVU student section and Huggins would surely like to, WVU can’t just “feed the bull” every time. It won’t be as easy for Kilicli as it was against Pittsburgh Monday.

Teams will only tolerate so much offensive production from Kilicli. They’ve already shown that by double teaming him as soon as he receives the ball in the paint.

His teammates need to step up. Mitchell and Bryant, I’m looking at you.

The pair, two of the team’s top three scorers, combined for just five points Monday against the Panthers. The pair looked desperate and hurried all night, only adding to the weight on Kilicli’s shoulders.

“He’s going to be a key part if we’re going to be successful,” Jones said of Kilicli. “We’re definitely going to need his post play for the rest of the Big East.”

If someone, anyone, would step up offensively, that wouldn’t be true.

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Tuesday February 8, 2011

Tony dobies sports editor

WVU women need to focus on execution Mike Carey stood at the podium following the No. 14 West Virginia women’s basketball team’s 60-53 loss to rival Pittsburgh and tried to find an answer for questions being thrown at him.

The 10th-year head coach had a hard time putting together exactly why his team couldn’t defeat a struggling Panthers team.

“I’m sick,” he said with his head down.

He had every right to be, as his team made stomachchurning mistakes throughout the game en route to the team’s third loss in four games.

Senior guard Liz Repella, who was one of the few bright spots in the loss, did what she could to stop the tears from flowing during her post-game interview.

For some reason, the Mountaineers have turned from a Final Four caliber squad to one that might be a first-round bust.

West Virginia, in front of 8,025 pink-clad fans, had an opportunity to prove to those in attendance that they should come back.

The Mountaineers failed.

Four games ago, West Virginia had legitimate aspirations of upsetting Connecticut, winning the Big East Conference title and winning a national championship.

It all seems too farfetched now.

Carey’s squad continues to do mind-boggling things to hurt itself. If it’s not turnovers, it’s dumb fouls. If it’s not those, it’s probably missing shots.

“It all comes back to execution,” Carey said.

Through a devastating stretch with losses to Georgetown, DePaul and Pittsburgh and a win against Providence, the Mountaineers have lost, because it couldn’t do the little things right.

The team has lost two second-half leads in four games, and has had trouble scoring points and keeping its top players on the floor.

It’s hard to be successful that way, and WVU is finding that out.

“It’s all about execution, but we aren’t executing right now,” Carey said. “These are great ladies, and they do it in practice. I told them in practice, if we can go from practice to a game, we’d be in good shape.

We execute the hell out of it in practice against guys, and then when we get into the game, we start to break down mentally.”

West Virginia, despite quality leadership from seniors like Repella and forward Madina Ali, doesn’t seem to be playing with much intensity or energy.

Because of that, Carey said some changes could be made prior to Tuesday’s home game against No. 2 Connecticut.

It’s obvious something needs to be done.

Finding a way to come together over the second-half stretch of the regular season could save the Mountaineers’ season.

At this time last year, I would’ve said the same thing about the WVU men’s basketball team – you know, the same team that made it to the Final Four.

In a loss to Connecticut, head coach Bob Huggins spoke to the team about playing for the pride of the state.

In a victory at Villanova to end the regular season, the Mountaineers came back from more than 10 down at the half and really became a team at that point.

From there, it was all but up, as WVU won the Big East Tournament and made a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

Following that game against the Huskies, the Mountaineers did what they needed to do to reach their potential.

Now, the WVU women need to do the same.

The key is to stop hurting itself, though, because, the Mountaineers have the talent, without a doubt, to make a strong push at a Final Four.

Right now, it doesn’t seem like the team has many answers to the many issues it’s struggling with.

If it doesn’t find some quickly, Connecticut could embarrass the Mountaineers tonight. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia women’s basketball players crowd around in a huddle prior to a game at the WVU Coliseum earlier this season. The Mountaineers face Connecticut tonight.

WVU has lost three of four and face Connecticut tonight by john terry multimedia editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team has beaten Connecticut just once in program history. That was in 1982.

Since then, Connecticut has won 22-straight games against the Mountaineers with an average margin of victory of 29 points.

West Virginia head coach Mike Carey is hopeful that trend will change tonight when the No. 17 Mountaineers host the No. 2 Connecticut at the WVU Coliseum.

Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on CBS College Sports.

“You have to envision winning, or you’ll never have a chance. We have to go in trying to win and seeing what happens,” Carey said. “It’s never a good time to play Connecticut.”

Connecticut enters tonight’s game as one of the most successful teams in the last three seasons. The Huskies have won 112 out of its last 113 games. In that stretch, Connecticut compiled a record 90-game win streak, which was snapped Dec. 30, 2010 by Stanford.

“Other than the one game at Stanford, they have proven they are the best team in the country,” Carey said.

Most recently, Connecticut dismantled then-No. 9 DePaul 89-46 – a team that West Virginia lost to 78-55 earlier this season. The Huskies played then-No. 3 Duke and left with an 87-51 win.

The Huskies are led by forward Maya Moore, who is leading the nation with 24 points per game. She is the finalist and favorite for the John R. Wooden award – an award given to the best women’s college basketball player.

Moore also leads the team with 8.3 rebounds.

“They have the best player in America,” Carey said. “You have to shade her and not let her have a career night, but then the other girls will hurt you.”

“There’s no doubt she’s the best player I’ve seen Connecticut have since I’ve been at West Virginia.”

Junior Tiffany Hayes and freshman Bria Hartley average 13.7 and 12.4 points, respectively. While just three players average in doublefigure scoring, Connecticut is much deeper on its bench with six players averaging more than 18 minutes.

“They have all-Americans all the way around,” Carey said.

Tonight’s game will also feature the two best scoring defenses in the Big East. The two teams rank second and third in the country in scoring defense.

Even though the Mountaineers have only held opponents to below 50 points twice in the last eight games, West Virginia will enter the game with the best scoring

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia officials are expecting a record crowd at the WVU Coliseum for the Mountaineer women’s basketball team’s game against No. 2 Connecticut.

The game, which will begin at 7 p.m. and air on CBS College Sports, is one of the most anticipated home games in program history.

“We definitely hit this one a lot harder,” said Mountaineer Maniacs Director Cassie Werner. “There’s been a lot of promotion on our end, so I’m definitely optimistic there will be a big crowd.”

Students won’t have a section specifically dedicated for the game, but Werner advised students to come early and reserve seats to make a pseudo-student section for the game.

The Mountaineer Maniacs will be handing out 150 “I Heart WVU Hoops” drawstring backpacks to the first students at the game, as

defense giving up just 49.2 points per game.

“We’re going to play our defense like we always do,” said senior guard Liz Repella.

“Our help side is going to be there. They have a lot of offensive threats – they have it all.”

Connecticut enters the game surrendering just 49.4 points per game. In the Huskies last eight games, they have allowed opponents to score more than 60 points just once.

“We just have to go out and play hard,” Carey said. “We just couldn’t score the ball (against Pittsburgh Saturday). When you don’t score the ball, it affects everything.

When we started scoring the ball (Saturday), we got excited.”

West Virginia is led on offense by Repella (14.1 ppg) and senior forward Madina Ali (13.2 ppg).

WVU has lost three of its last four games and has dropped to No. 7 in the Big East. Connecticut leads the Big East with a 10-0 record. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

well. It is part of Love College Hoops Week and the “I Love College Hoops” campaign, which is partnered with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and Coaches vs. Cancer.

Because there is expected to be a larger crowd than the team averages, there are additional promotional and ticket buying opportunities for fans.

“We do anticipate a larger-than-normal crowd,” said WVU Sports Marketing Director Matt Wells. “The week night is hurting us, but we still expect four to 5,000 fans.”

Tonight’s game is also a “Gold Rush.” Fans are asked to wear gold to the game.

The Maniacs had information for tonight’s game on the back of its “Mountaineer Musings” gameday cheer sheet at last night’s men’s basketball game against Pittsburgh.

Fans had the opportunity to purchase tickets to the UConn game at the Pitt

SCOUTING REPORT – Connecticut has won 60-straight Big East Conference games. Its last loss was to Rutgers on Feb. 5, 2008.

– The Huskies have been the most dominate team in women’s basketball over the last five years. The last time they didn’t win the regular season conference championship was in 2006, while 2007 was the last year it didn’t win the Big East tournament. Connecticut has reached at least the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament since 2005, has reached the Final Four for the last three seasons, and has won the last two national championships. Connecticut has also been to the NCAA Tournament every year since 1989.

– Forward Maya Moore leads the nation with 24.2 points per game, and is the favorite to win the John R. Wooden award, which is given to the best women’s basketball player in the country. She is also coming off her 47th career double-double and sixth double-double of the season as she scored 34 points and got 11 rebounds in Connecticut’s 89-66 win over DePaul.

– West Virginia has lost three of its last four games, including an upset Saturday against rival Pittsburgh. The Mountaineers trailed much of the game, and despite holding a four-point lead with more than two minutes remaining, were unable to defeat the Panthers.

– The last time the teams played each other was in the final of the Big East Tournament last season. The No. 2-seeded Mountaineers were unable to hold off No. 1-seed UConn in a 60-32 loss in the title game. WVU was out-rebounded in that game 49-22. Now-senior guard Liz Repella was the lone WVU player to score in double figures in the game. She had 10 points to lead the Mountaineers.

men’s game.

Tickets for the game are available for purchase at the Coliseum’s Blue gate ticket window starting at 9 a.m. to halftime of tonight’s game.

For those buying tickets today, the Coliseum has a limited number of 15-minute parking spots specifically for the Mountaineer Ticket Office.

The game is also a Dairy Mart Dollar night. Fans can stop by any Morgantown area Dairy Mart to pick up a coupon redeemable for $1 admission into the game.

The Mountaineers are coming off a 60-53 loss to Pittsburgh in front of the third-largest crowd in program history, 8,025.

The WVU Coliseum record for a women’s game was 8,307, when the Mountaineers faced DePaul on Feb. 16, 2008. The largest home crowd to watch Connecticut was in 2009, when there were 3,167 fans. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Green Bay Packers fans stand on the roof of a truck Sunday, in front of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. to celebrate the Packers win in Super Bowl XLV 31-25.

Packers return to Green Bay as champions GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)— Thousands of exhausted but euphoric Packers fans cheered the team Monday on its return to Green Bay as Super Bowl champions after their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Schools dismissed early Monday and people took off work so they could see the team as it traveled from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau Field along a route that included Lombardi Avenue, named in honor of the legendary packers coach Vince Lombardi.

Ashley Ellis, 17, and Erica Christensen, 18, of Oak Creek, went to bed at midnight after celebrating the Packers’ victory. They were up at 4 a.m. to drive to Green Bay and stake out a spot for the parade. They said the Packers gave them “anxiety attacks” as the Steelers made their second-half comeback, but on Monday all was right with the world in Green Bay. Asked why anyone would get up at 4 a.m. to visit a football stadium, Christensen replied simply.

Area schools released students after a half-day to allow them to attend the parade. By 11 a.m. throngs of fans milled around the stadium’s atrium.

People lined up for tours of the stadium, asked about tickets to Tuesday’s rally and grabbed lunch at Curly’s Pub, a restaurant at the stadium named for the Packers’ founder, Curly Lambeau.

Some fans just stood in the parking lot and screamed to the sky. Others paraded around with a giant cardboard replica of the Lombardi trophy. The stadium’s pro shop was so packed with customers snatching up Super Bowl gear team that officials made shoppers stand in line to get in. Fans across the atrium shouted “Go Pack Go!” Brett Elliot, 50, of Abrams, beat the rush. Dressed in a leather Packers jacket, he emerged from the pro shop with seven Super Bowl champion Tshirts and $140 lighter. He said a couple shirts were for him and the rest were for his co-workers.

He said he was hoarse from watching the game and partying in downtown Green Bay the night before.

“Has it sunk in?” he said. “I don’t know. Maybe after the parade and the celebration.”

Dozens of fans helped clear ice and snow from the stadium bowl’s bleachers for a rally Tuesday. From the field level, they looked like ants as they shuffled back and forth, dutifully chipping away at ice dams and dumping snow onto a conveyer belt, which carried it to the field where bulldozers pushed it aside. All for free.

The Packers have traditionally asked fans to clear snow from the bleachers during the season, but this time was different.

Adam Shirek, 23, of Milladore, drove two hours Monday to Lambeau for the parade. He said he’s an unemployed college student with nothing better to do.

He saw the line of snow volunteers at the stadium and decided to join them. Decked out in Clay Matthews’(notes) No. 52 jersey, he attacked the ice with a furor.

PITTSBURGH 71 | WEST VIRGINIA 66

Breakdown in the Brawl

West Virginia – a team forced to live and die by the success of its defense.

Why would anyone expect anything else Monday?

As usual, West Virginia’s defense looked as solid as ever against Pittsburgh – the Big East Conference’s secondbest offensive team. It held the Panthers to 71 points, the team’s sixth lowest amount this season.

Keeping Pittsburgh to just one 3-pointer was also quite a feat. The team was the best 3-point shooting team in the Big East, making 40 percent of their shots from beyond the arc.

But even though the Mountaineers were within three with just 1:28 to go, no West Virginia player could translate the team’s strong defensive showing into a bucket, especially when it needed one most.

WVU made only three field goals in the final 4:03, two of which were easy putbacks off much-needed (yet, of course, missed) 3-pointers.

West Virginia entered Monday’s game averaging 56.5 points in its last four games, securing its spot as one of the worst offensive teams in the country over that span.

The star of Monday, Deniz Kilicli, had plenty of moments in which he shined offensively for the Mountaineers. He has had his moments all year.

Following the loss, Huggins said the team will rely more on Kilicli simply because the team can’t make jump shots. Sure, the team shot 44 percent from the field against Pittsburgh, but WVU can credit Kilicli’s 9-for13 performance for that.

West Virginia shot just 27

Mountaineers fall apart late, lose to Pittsburgh by anthony dobies sports editor

see GAWTHROP on PAGE 8

FOR TRUMAN SCHOLAR JOHN ARMOUR, THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS IS A LAUNCH PAD FOR A LIFETIME OF SUCCESS.

West Virginia offensive struggles seemed to disappear at times Monday against No. 4 Pittsburgh, but the team’s defense let the team down big time on Big Monday.

The No. 25 Mountaineers were unable to make multiple crucial stops late in the second half, which allowed the Panthers to seal a 71-66 victory in front of a sold-out, intense crowd at the WVU Coliseum.

“They just pounded at you,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “They beat us to death on the offensive glass.

They drove it where they wanted to drive it. They just outmanned us.”

Despite shooting nearly 50 percent in the second half,

WVU (15-8, 6-5 Big East Conference) was out-rebounded 40-28 and was out-scored 4224 in the paint. The Panthers (22-2, 10-1) had 18 offensive rebounds that led to 16 second-chance points.

“We couldn’t take advantage of certain opportunities we had,” said forward Kevin Jones. “We had some mental mistakes that good teams capitalize on, and they were a good team even without their star player. That’s why they’re the No. 1 team in the Big East.”

The Mountaineers have lost two-straight games to top 25 teams after moving up to second place in the Big East Conference early last week. WVU now sits in eighth place.

“This league is tough. It’s unforgiving,” Jones said. “If you don’t come and play hard ev-

ery night, this is what will happen.”

Forward Deniz Kilicli finished with a career-high 19 points, including multiple hook shots over Pitt center Gary McGhee in the post.

While he was 9-of-13 from the field, the rest of the team shot just 14-of-39. Only forward Kevin Jones, who finished with 12, scored in double figures.

Pitt found success driving the ball to the hoop in the second half, which allowed four Panthers to score in double figures. Forward Nasir Robinson led them with 15 points.

McGhee had 13, guard Travon Woodall had 12, and guard Brad Wanamaker had 11 for the Panthers. Pitt was without leading scorer Ashton Gibbs
