West Virginia University was recently named one of the best places for scientists to work in academia.

The list of the 40 best institutions to work in research was compiled by The Scientist, a magazine focusing on biology and life sciences.

“I agree that WVU is one of the best places to work, but there is still room to grow.

This survey recognizes that we are doing well, but we can do even better,” said Elena Pugacheva, an assistant professor of biochemistry in the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

WVU, which was not listed last year, was ranked twentieth on the 2011 list and was one of few large institutions that were included.

“The quality of life here is amazing, working in the Bio department is a real treat.

The people are great,” said Michael Aldridge, a graduate student in the WVU biology department.

WVU beat out many distinguished universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, and Johns Hopkins University.

The magazine has listed cooperation and collaboration between departments as one of WVU’s best and most unique qualities.

“At a big university – compared to a small, more focused institution – there are a lot of different departments, which leads to a huge opportunity for corporation,” Pugacheva said.

Pugacheva said she has

collaborated multiple times with the WVU College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, and specifically the Engineering department.

Engineering professors help work on improving machines Pugcheva said she uses in her cancer research, saving money and promoting cooperation at WVU. Other collaborations between departments at WVU are common.

Aldridge said he is currently working in WVU’s Shared Facilities.

“I’ve done a lot of collaborative work with the physics, chemistry, and pharmaceutical science schools, and the people I’ve worked with there are great,” Aldridge said.

“Even though I am a biology student, the professors in other departments have been helpful and accessible,” Aldridge said.

In addition to collaboration, The Scientist has also named tenure, promotion, teaching and mentoring as strengths of WVU. “WVU is a great environment to grow – it’s not competitive, but very family-like and collegial,” Pugacheva’s said.

The list, which has been compiled annually since 2003, was created by conducting a large-scale online survey that gained 2,260 responses from scientists in biology or life sciences from around the country.

Respondents were asked to rate their institutions on 37 criteria including job satisfaction, peers and tenure. jessica.lear@mail.wvu.edu

Museum wins award for coal helmet exhibit Fenton glass company

By Jessica Lear Staff writer

The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum, which is housed in West Virginia University’s College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, has won an award of merit from the American Association for State and Local History.

The museum won the award for its exhibit “Helmet Men: Mine Rescuers of Appalachia’s Coalfields.”

The exhibit will be on display until August 14.

“The Watts Museum is very honored that the American Association of State and Local History has chosen to recognize our exhibition, ‘Helmet

Men’ for its contributions to the field of local history,” said Danielle Petrak, museum coordinator and curator.

“Helmet Men” is an interactive exhibit that includes actual mine equipment, photographs and film footage.

“Helmet Men” specifically follows the history of mine rescue teams in the Appalachian region and various other places throughout the country.

“It brings attention to a largely underrepresented area of historical scholarship, as well as an important aspect of the mining industry,” said Danielle LaPresta, a graduate assistant working at the museum.

The exhibition specifically follows the development of

mine rescue teams from being disorganized and chaotic to becoming functioning and efficient.

“When mine accidents occur, we tend to focus on the hazards of mining, the lives that are saved or lost and the disasters’ impact on families and communities. With this exhibition, I wanted to acknowledge the role of the rescuers and their commitment to the mining industry and fellow miners,” Petrak said.

The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum is named after the Dean of the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources and his wife.

The museum’s mission is to explain the effects that the coal

and other gas industries have had on local, state and even national culture and history.

“The Watts Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the social, cultural and technological history of West Virginia’s coal, oil and natural gas industries,” Petrak said.

“And, this recent AASLH Award of Merit is helping us achieve this mission by bringing some public, national-level attention to West Virginia’s industrial history.”

Artifacts from all aspects of the coal industry have been collected since 1930 and are now on display in the museum.

Dean receives achievement award for basketball

by Joshua Clark Correspondent

The Dean of the West Virginia University College of Physical Activity of Sports Sciences, Dana Brooks, recently received a lifetime achievement award from Hagerstown Community College for his time there as a basketball player and student.

The Hall of Fame award, given to individuals who make significant contributions to an athletic department, showcases both Brooks’ past as an athlete at HCC as well as present and future accomplishments at WVU. Brooks recieved his associate arts degree in Hagerstown while playing basketball on scholarship, bachelor’s in physical education from Towson University, and master’s

and beyond as a graduate student at WVU. He won teacher of the year for CPASS as well as WVU’s Social Justice Award and the Martin Luther Achievement Award.

According to Robert Myers, Director of Athletics at Hagerstown Community College, Brooks learned equally in the classroom and on the field. He likens him to Rodin’s sculpture, “The Thinker,” the ultimate planner and doer.

“Athletics teaches so many things in a practical setting,” Myers said. “Honesty, integrity, teamwork, sacrifice, celebration, disappointment.

Dana is certainly wellrounded. He’s a role model, not just because he’s an African-American, but because he takes every opportunity to take his experience and talents to new heights.”

When Brooks isn’t teaching or researching sports sociology or working on one his many projects like the newest edition of his textbook on “Racism in Sports,” he’s researching newer ideas for the department like crowd control or drug use in athletics.

Brooks is a lone sociologist in a population of psychologists.

“Where some say sports science, others say medicine or counseling. There is a breadth to physical education that is just amazing,” Brook said.

WVU benefits from research into diversity at the University level, he said.

One of Brooks’ ongoing projects, http://sportsintegration. wvu.edu, should remind the WVU community of the many contributions minority players have made to the college.

Constantly updated, the

site chronicles player histories from football to women’s tennis.

While research and programs of social justice earn him respect from others, what has brought him most joy is his students.

He said he treasures seeing the pupils he teaches grow up after learning about sports behavior from him, and applying that knowledge to their own research.

Brooks said he was very appreciative of the award and his success.

“I feel honored and privileged,” Brooks said. “I never thought a young guy growing up in Hagerstown, Maryland, going to a junior college could have such an honor bestowed.

It’s unbelievable.”

to close production

BY Jessica Lear Staff Writer

The Fenton Art Glass Company has announced it will be shutting down production of hand-blown glass products within the next few months.

Fenton Glass, which is located in Williamsburg, W.Va., has been experiencing financial woes since 2007 when they first considered shutting down.

Now, four years later, the company has made the decision to cease production of glass at their 106-year-old factory.

“The market for our pressed and blown glassware has diminished. We cannot sustain the overhead costs,” said Fenton Glass President George Fenton.

Since Fenton Glass has been such a crucial part of Williamsburg, local citizens have expressed confusion and are upset by its imminent closing.

It is expected that most of Fenton Glass Company’s employees will lose their jobs when the main furnace of the factory closes in the coming months.

“Our employees have worked hard and efficiently, so this is a very sad day for us,” Fenton said.

The closing of the Fenton Art Glass Company has made the community of Williamsburg and surrounding areas curious as to what will happen to the town after the closing of one of the towns’ biggest employer.

“Many of the workers, if not all, are very skilled at what they do, and sadly, they may be forced to leave the area to find work that fits their skills,” said Jeffery Blaker, a resident of Williamsburg.

In addition to losing workers, Blaker said he is afraid Williamsburg is losing its main tourist attraction and thus important tourist money.

“Because of the nature of Fenton’s business, the economy will also lose tourism dollars,” he said.

Fenton Glass has grown since almost calling it quits in 2007, but in the face of a declining economy and increasing corporate competition, family-owned Fenton Glass has continued to struggle.

To try to stay in business, the company has laid off workers multiple times since 2007.

Currently, the company is looking into the possibility of selling some of its product lines.

The company has not made clear what plans they have for the Fenton Gift Shop, which is separate from Fenton Glass.

For now, the shop will continue to sell the remaining Fenton Glass inventory.

“Remaining employees will be finishing existing glassware from the company’s inventory that will be available through the Fenton

The AASLH award means that the museum has been successful in preserving an important part of West Virginia history for the community to enjoy. “Local history tends to be less documented than national and world history, but local and state history exhibits like “Helmet Men� help us preserve the history of people and places that may otherwise

be forgotten,� Petrak said.

The AASLH has been presenting the Leadership in History Awards to museums around the country for 66 years.

The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum won one of the 59 awards given out by the AASLH this year.

The museum will be presented with its award in Richmond, Va. on September 16.

Witness tampering alleged at Casey Anthony trial

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida sheriff announced Tuesday that authorities were looking into witness tampering allegations during Casey Anthony’s murder trial, even as he held a wide-ranging news conference with his top investigators in what he said was an effort to bring closure to a case that polarized the country.

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings also revealed that prosecutors were considering perjury charges against Anthony’s mother, but a spokeswoman for the state attorney’s office later said they would not be pursued.

Casey Anthony was acquitted a week ago on charges of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008. Anthony was found guilty on four charges of lying to law enforcement officers. She is to be released from jail Sunday.

The sheriff held the news conference to defend his investigation and because his office had been besieged with interview requests since the verdict. “The ultimate goal ... is that our personnel can get back to work doing the business of the taxpayers and residents of Orange County,� Demings said. “This is the only way that we can move forward.�

Demings wouldn’t say who was accused of witness tampering, but it didn’t involve Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy. She stunned prosecutors during the trial when she testified that she had done searches for chloroform on the family’s computer. Prosecutors believed, along with sheriff ’s investigators, that Anthony had performed the search.

Witnesses were later called to challenge Cindy Anthony’s claim, and in the days after the verdict, prosecutors hinted at possibly charging her.

The government presented evidence at trial that chloroform was found in Anthony’s car trunk and insinuated that she could have used it to render Caylee unconscious.

As for the alleged witness tampering, detective John Allen would only say the sheriff’s office has interviewed some witnesses. “In regards to where we will go, it really depends on what information we get and what people come forward to provide additional information,�

Allen said.

Give Obama new debt limit power, GOP leader says WASHINGTON (AP) — With compromise talks at a vituperative standstill, Senate Republicans unexpectedly offered Tuesday to hand President Barack Obama new powers to avert the first-ever government default threatened for Aug. 2.

Under a proposal outlined

by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Obama could request increases of up to $2.4 trillion in the government’s borrowing authority in three separate installments over the next year, as long as he simultaneously proposed spending cuts of greater size.

The debt limit increases would take effect unless blocked by Congress under special rules that would require speedy action — and even then Obama could exercise his authority to veto such legislation. Significantly, the president’s spending cuts would be debated under normal procedures, with no guarantee they ever come to a final vote.

In essence, McConnell’s proposal would greatly enhance Obama’s authority to

avoid a default, while also virtually absolving Republicans of responsibility if one occurred.

At the same time, it would allow Republican lawmakers to avoid having to support an increase in the debt limit, something many of them find odious. “Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure the government doesn’t default on its obligations,� McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.

He also excoriated the administration for seeking tax increases along with spending cuts as part of an agreement to raise the debt limit.

There was no immediate response to the GOP proposal from the White House, where Obama hosted his third meeting in as many days with congressional leaders struggling to avert a financial crisis.

The talks have revolved around attempts to meet Republican demands for deficit cuts at least as large as any increase in the debt limit. Ne-

gotiators have grown testy in recent days as Obama and Democrats pushed for higher tax revenue as part of the deal, a line Republicans say they will not cross.

It was unclear whether McConnell’s proposal could show the White House and congressional leaders of both parties a way out of a deadlock that Obama and others said threatened calamitous results for an economy still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

It would obligate Obama to outline deep spending cuts, something Republicans have been trying to force him to do for months without much success.

Reductions as large as $2.5 trillion would almost certainly affect domestic programs seen as important by Democratic constituencies and by rankand-file lawmakers, possibly including Medicare and Medicaid. Even if the cuts never took effect, Republicans would be able to call for votes, while identifying them as sponsored by the White House.

Any such proposals could

also be used by Republicans in the 2012 campaigns, if only to blunt attacks made by Democrats.

The White House talks have been aimed at producing a compromise to cut projected deficits by trillions of dollars over the next decade while renewing the Treasury’s authority to resume borrowing.

The government reached its current $14.3 trillion borrowing limit several weeks ago, and Treasury officials have been relying on accounting maneuvers to continue to pay the nation’s bills without additional borrowing.

While Obama and Republicans maneuvered for political position, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said during the day that the two parties’ debate over deficit reduction “should not be tied to the debt ceiling.� “America’s good name and credit are just too important to be held hostage to Washington gridlock,� he said in a speech a few miles away from the nation’s financial center of Wall Street.

Bloomberg ’s concern

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Obama administration on Tuesday struck a new deal with wildlife advocates that would require the Interior Department to consider greater protections for hundreds of imperiled animals and plants.

The agreement was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., by attorneys from the government and the Center for Biological Diversity.

If approved by a judge, the deal would set a 2018 deadline for the administration to decide whether Endangered Species Act protections are needed for species as diverse as the wolverine, Pacific walrus and Miami blue butterfly.

A similar agreement in May with the group WildEarth Guardians excluded some species including the wolverine and walrus, prompting the Center for Biological Diversity to negotiate for a more comprehensive deal.

Some of the plants and animals in the agreement were first proposed for protection soon after the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973.

Instead, they languished for decades on a list of candidate

species the government could not afford to help.

The deal covers 258 of those candidate species and another 499 plants and animals for which the Center for Biological Diversity has filed court petitions seeking greater protections, said the group’s executive director, Kieran Suckling. “We’re dealing with the ultimate stakes of life and death with this settlement,� Suckling said. “If these 757 had to wait much longer, many of those would go extinct as well.�

The species that were included in the petitioning process will be reviewed for a determination on whether they warrant protection. That’s the first step in listing a plant or animal as threatened by or in immediate danger of extinction, said Vanessa Kauffman with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Government officials have said the backlog has been made worse by lawsuits and legal petitions that have distracted the Fish and Wildlife Service from needed scientific reviews and restoration work.

They say those legal actions have consumed money and other resources that could

be spent on programs such as developing restoration plans for endangered plants and animals. “This work plan will allow the service to more effectively focus our efforts on providing the benefits of the ESA to those imperiled species most in need of protection,� Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said.

The settlement was filed for approval with U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan. Sullivan had put the May agreement between the government and WildEarth Guardians on hold after the Center for Biological Diversity said it had been excluded from that deal despite pending lawsuits against the government over the matter.

Nicole Rosmarino with WildEarth Guardians said she hoped Tuesday’s deal would allow all the parties involved in the case to move forward and begin addressing the

backlog of imperiled species. “The Endangered Species Act is our nation’s key environmental law but it does not help species until they are actually listed,� Rosmarino said.

The deal comes as the government’s endangered program is under fire on Capitol Hill.

House Republicans have submitted a proposed budget for the Interior Department that would bar listing any new species under the Endangered Species Act. The sport hunting group Safari Club has sought to intervene in the case.

Some of the animals included in the agreement currently are hunted, including greater sage grouse and the New England cottontail rabbit.

The group said in a court filing that it wants to intervene to protect the rights of its members.

echoed similar expressions by Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and neither McConnell nor House Speaker John Boehner has disputed the assertion that a default could bring disaster to the economy that is growing so slowly that unemployment stands at 9.2 percent nationally.

Still, in remarks made before McConnell unveiled his proposal, Boehner said bluntly of the president, “This debt limit increase is his problem and I think it’s time for him to lead by putting his plan on the table — something that the Congress can pass.�

Boehner noted he had been telling the White House for months there are “no tax increases on the table� as part of the debt reduction talks.

In back-channel talks with the White House last week, officials say Boehner and Obama discussed the possibility of a huge $4 trillion deal in which Democrats accepted cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and perhaps Social Security and the GOP supported an end to certain tax breaks in anticipation of sweeping tax reform legisla-

tion before the elections.

But House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and other conservatives objected to White House demands for $1 trillion in new revenue.

Boehner issued a statement Saturday backing away from the larger deal.

McConnell’s Senate speech was particularly pointed when he spoke of Obama, whose defeat in 2012 he has called his top political priority. “Rather than find a way to bring government back to the people, the administration has committed itself to protecting the size and scope of government at the cost of job creation, economy growth and America’s status in the global economy,� he said.

Under his proposal, the debt limit would rise by $100 billion as soon as Obama requested the first of the three increases envisioned.

Officials have said that the government normally borrows about $125 billion a month to finance operations, meaning Obama could avoid a default for a brief period of time simply by asking for it.

Casey Anthony holds hands with her defense attorney Jose Baez on July 5, as they listen to the verdict at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando, Fla. Baez was a little known attorney with not much experience, a high school dropout who turned his life around after a stint in the Navy. He took on one of the nation’s highest profile murder cases and won it against all odds. His defense strategy was roundly criticized by experts, but with hindsight some are calling it brilliant. ble alongside a blown-up picture of Caylee. The sheriff said it was a reminder of what his investigators were pursuing during the three-year case that dominated his resources. “This is what this was all about,� Demings said. “It was about a missing child. That’s what motivated our staff and our community.�

Demings said his office followed up on more than 600 tips and worked with more than 100 FBI agents. He said he is still in the process of working with his accounting department to total up substantial investigative costs.

Prosecutors want Anthony to incur those costs because they said the lies she was convicted of telling investigators directly led to the expenditures. “Obviously those were resources that could have been put toward finding other missing children,� Allen said.

Texas Equusearch, the private group that conducted several searches for Caylee in 2008, filed a lawsuit against Anthony on Tuesday, seeking $15,000 for what it spent on searches. The lawsuit claimed Anthony made misrepresentations to the group’s founder, causing extensive, costly and time-consuming searches for Caylee.

Anthony’s defense said Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool. Anthony’s

partying and shopping during the month before he daughter was reported missing was caused in part by her father’s sexual abuse, her attorneys said.

George Anthony has denied the claims, and investigators said Tuesday they were rebuffed by Anthony’s defense team when they tried to interview her about the molestation allegations.

Allen and the case’s lead detective, Yuri Melich, said they wouldn’t do anything differently in the case, despite not winning a conviction. “Ultimately, it’s up to the jury to decide,� Melich said. “We respect that and honor that.�

The sheriff did acknowledge that finding Caylee’s remains earlier could have built a stronger case. The remains were found by a meter reader in December 2008, six months after Caylee was reported missing. The meter reader initially called authorities as early as August about seeing what might have been a skull in the woods.

Demings said the investigator called out after the meter reader’s report no longer works at the sheriff ’s office, and he believed authorities correctly focused on Anthony. “I certainly don’t have any doubt,� Allen said. “... I think our work was solid.�

Acting W.Va. gov orders emergency Marcellus rules CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia regulators will temporarily take the lead on regulating Marcellus shale drilling while lawmakers attempt to craft long-term rules for developing this rich natural gas reserve, acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced Tuesday.

Tomblin signed an executive order that directs the Department of Environmental Protection to issue emergency rules largely focused on the hydraulic fracturing that can accompany drilling into the miledeep rock formation.

Also known as fracking, the process involves drillers pumping large amounts of water mixed with chemicals and sand into wells to crack the shale and release the gas. Environmental concerns include draining local streams to provide the water, and drinking water tainted by fracking fluids.

Both industry and environmental groups called Tuesday’s order a positive first step.

Tomblin wants DEP to require drillers to estimate water usage, and for the agency to approve any disposal of frackwater by way of public treatment plants. For wells that will draw more than 210,000 gallons of water monthly, companies would have to file water management plans that identify water sources and chemical additives, among other details.

Tomblin wrote in the order that accidental spills, “while rare, can have significant, harmful effects on our citizens, streams and rivers, and wildlife.”

“The risk to our citizens, however slight, is too great to not act swiftly to promulgate additional regulations to ensure the responsible development of the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia,” the order said.

The rules for large-scale wells would also limit water withdrawals to preserve their sources, and require properly encased wells to prevent leaks.

Poorly built gas wells have been blamed for contaminated drinking wells in neighboring Pennsylvania.

New wells that employ the unconventional horizontal drilling method often relied

Several communities — Wellsburg, Lewisburg and most recently Morgantown — have barred Marcellus drilling that includes fracking. Morgantown has since been sued over its ordinance.

Among the other rules outlined by Tomblin’s order, registered engineers would have to certify site construction and sediment control plans for all well sites that will disturb three or more acres. Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler, a Marshall County Democrat who appeared alongside Tomblin and endorsed Tuesday’s move, said emergency rules would remain in effect up to 15 months. DEP Secretary Randy Huffman, also on hand, said he hoped to have rules written within a month.

West Virginia counted more than 620 Marcellus wells in

2009. While the emergency rules would apply mostly to new wells, state Independent Oil & Gas Association President John Haskins said the water withdrawal-related provisions would affect all operations going forward. Haskins and other industry representatives were among the throng that packed the governor’s Capitol reception room for Tuesday’s announcement.

Haskins said lawmakers should consider them as a framework as they pursue permanent rules on the subject.

He said Tomblin’s order sends an important, positive signal to industry.

“Capital investment for Marcellus shale is huge,” Haskins said. “If we have an uncomfortable political atmosphere in the state, that money will not come. The jobs will not be here.”

The Legislature proved unable to pass Marcellus rules during the regular session this

year. A House-Senate committee recently began attempting a compromise measure, with the goal of crafting legislation that could succeed in special session before 2012.

“I believe Acting Governor Tomblin is being prudent,” said House Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne, in a statement.

“In the meantime, the Legislature’s Select Committee on Marcellus Shale will continue to move forward in developing some long-term guidelines for the relationship between oil and gas extractors and the owners of surface rights and mineral interests that protects the environment and ensures proper labor practices.”

The committee began its efforts Tuesday with a scientific overview of horizontal drilling and fracking. It also heard from Morgantown city council

AP

member Bill Byrne, who while mayor oversaw passage of its Marcellus ordinance.

Byrne said the absence of legislation and hundreds of resident complaints prompted the measure, after drilling began within a mile of an area drinking water intake. He urged lawmakers to approve statewide rules, adding that Tuesday’s order appeared to address at least some water-related concerns. The committee meets again Wednesday.

Questioning whether the select committee can succeed, Don Garvin of the West Virginia Environmental Council called Tuesday’s order a good first step. He also noted that concerns over Marcellus drilling go beyond fracking, and involve such other areas as surface owner rights and damage to rural secondary roads.

“We will continue to press the Legislature for a strong bill,” Garvin said. “This will in no way provide all of the protections that are needed, and I think the governor has admitted that. He says he supports the legislative process, so I’ll take him at his word.”

Both Garvin and Corky DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, cited how the rules largely reflect provisions previously considered by lawmakers. Representing the natural gas industry’s major players, DeMarco said his group has supported such proposals. He called Tomblin’s order crucial as the state pursues spinoff industries from Marcellus drilling. Those include plants that can convert a drilling byproduct, ethane, into the widely used chemical compound ethylene.

The Marcellus shale is a massive rock formation that stretches beneath West Virginia and several other states in the region. A recent study commissioned by the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the Marcellus shale contains 410.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. By comparison, worldwide natural gas consumption reached 108 trillion cubic feet in 2007, according to the latest EIA figures.

With West Virginia facing a court-ordered special election for governor Oct. 4, GOP nominee Bill Maloney criticized Tomblin’s order as “more style than substance.” Tomblin is the Democratic candidate.

“We need a comprehensive plan on Marcellus shale regulations now,” said Maloney.

“It’s clear that Earl Ray Tomblin is unable to call legislators into a special session to pass a thought-out and detailed plan for Marcellus shale.”

Tomblin told reporters Tuesday that he’s more than willing to convene a special session if the House and Senate can find consensus.

“Obviously, it’s a very complicated issue,” Tomblin said.

“You have to start somewhere.”

Hammond another great hire for WVU After Dana Holgorsen’s first hire as West Virginia’s head football coach, WVU’s football staff could have the highest IQ of any in the country.

The Mountaineers’ new recruiting coordinator, Alex Hammond, is one of the most impressive hires the University has made in quite some time and serves as the latest, and possibly greatest, move Holgorsen and Athletic Director Oliver Luck have made in an effort to cement a bright, successful future for the Mountaineers.

Hammond’s resume sounds more like one you might be reading if you were conducting interviews for an executive position in corporate America.

The 30-year old earned a bachelor’s degree in government from the University of Texas in 2004, while finding time to intern for the White House Office of Public Affairs while serving as executive director of the student body – a position that required him to represent the student body in front of the Texas state legislature.

Upon graduating, he was accepted and later graduated with a law degree from Northwestern. With a couple of classmates, he co-founded and served as vice president of operations for Global Trends Group, an organization that provided corporations seeking global expansion with economic and political risk analysis.

Later, he would work as an associate at the Indianapolis-based law firm Baker & Daniels, in the international group specializing in multinational affairs, mergers and acquisitions.

He left there to take a job with the NCAA as associate director of amateurism certification working on educating student-athletes and schools on NCAA legislation as well as conducting amateurism reviews on high-profile student-athletes.

And now, he is in Morgantown reuniting with UT classmate and Harvard Law grad coach Daron Roberts, who was the president of the student body while Hammond was at Texas.

The two followed similar, roundabout paths in obtaining the jobs in which they have always wanted to work – in football.

Two truths emerge when considering the pair of classmates-turned-colleagues.

Hammond, like Roberts, has no collegiate football experience. Also, like Roberts, he is going to be extremely successful in his position.

Now more than ever, it is important to stock the program full of guys like Hammond and Roberts – people who love the idea of being in Morgantown, want to be successful and are committed to the program for the long haul.

Perhaps the happiest of the bunch is Oliver Luck, who watches Hammond’s experience in NCAA compliance work enter into the equation immediately after the Mountaineers will begin serving penalties for their shortcomings in that area.

The hiring of Hammond is an undeniable success that should begin to produce results almost immediately. His experience working with the NCAA will lead to a cleaner and more compliant team, and his intellectual prowess and confidence in WVU’s future successes will send a message that recruits across the country are dying to hear.

Luck is no longer the lone star from the University of Texas, as Hammond and Roberts both join him in the category of degree holders from that institution. Luck and his 1987 law degree serve as the point of the three-headed monster that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else in the college football landscape.

Luck, Roberts & Hammond.

PENALTIES ANNOUNCED NCAA accepts WVU’s self-imposed penalties on football program

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS EDITOR

The investigation the NCAA opened almost a year ago looking into the West Virginia football program is officially over.

WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck issued a statement on Friday in regards to the penalties leveled against the program.

“WVU is in receipt of the NCAA’s final report of an investigation into violations committed from 2005-2009 related to participation and monitoring of noncoaching staff members in drill and meeting activities reserved for countable coaches within our football program,” Luck said.

The NCAA found that “failure to monitor” major violations took place under former West Virginia head coaches Rich Rodriguez and Bill StewFILE PHOTO art.

Busick dismissed following arrest by michael carvelli sports editor

West Virginia linebacker Branko Busick was arrested for armed robbery on Monday.

Tuesday afternoon, the redshirt sophomore was dismissed from the football team.

Morgantown Police Department responded to an armed robbery complaint on High Street at approximately 5:14 p.m., Monday evening, according to a press release.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers found the caller, who said a male subject had allegedly pointed a gun at him and two acquaintances demanding money. When the caller told the subject he didn’t have any money, the subject allegedly began hitting him repeatedly with the gun.

The caller told the police he believed the male was still inside the apartment, as he stayed near the building and didn’t see anyone leave.

When the police searched the building, they found three males and one female.

One of those males was Busick, who was placed into custody and charged with armed robbery. He spent the night in North Central Regional Jail. He was released on bond Tuesday.

Busick, a native of Steubenville, Ohio, played in two games last season, finishing the year with three tackles.

Alex Hammond hired as recruiting coordinator West Virginia head football coach Dana Holgorsen

announced on Saturday that Alex Hammond will be taking over as the team’s recruiting coordinator.

“I’m happy that Alex has joined the West Virginia University football program,” Holgorsen said in a press release.

“He brings a wealth of knowledge from his tenure at the NCAA over the past few years that will not only help us remain in compliance, but also will ensure we are doing the most we can to recruit top student-athletes.”

It’s the first hire that Holgorsen has made as head coach, but like the hiring of wide receivers and offensive special teams coach Daron Roberts, Hammond was a unique hire.

Hammond comes to WVU after serving as the associate director of amateurism certification at the NCAA. Before that, he was an associate at international practice group Baker & Daniels and held several position in the federal government from 2003-2006.

“Alex is an excellent addition to not only our football staff, but also our Athletic Department,” said WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck. “Aside from being a well-educated and smart guy, what attracted him to us was his experience with the NCAA.” Hammond graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in government in 2004 and, in 2008, he received his juris doctorate from Northwestern University Law School. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

self-imposed penalties. These penalties included being on probation for two years – ending on July 7, 2013; the loss of two scholarships from 201011 and one for 2011-12; as well as the elimination of two noncoaching graduate assistant positions.

The committee did not feel the need to level any more additional penalties on top of what the school requested.

“We appreciate the hard work the Committee and the NCAA staff put into this process, particularly moving cooperatively to the summary disposition process,” Luck said. “I am pleased that the Committee accepted the selfimposed penalties the University proposed, without imposing any additional ones.

“The University has already taken corrective action and put new systems in place to address all the issues raised.”

One important thing Luck also said in his statement was that the penalties did not in-

clude anything that would affect the Mountaineers’ eligibility to play in bowl games or to compete for Big East Conference or national championships.

If WVU would have been deemed ineligible for bowl games for two or more years, head coach Dana Holgorsen would be allowed to quit without giving anything back to the school, according to the term sheet he signed on December 14, 2010.

Luck said the program is ready to continue moving forward now that the investigations against the team are complete.

“We have taken this case very seriously from the beginning and, as we’ve said, will move forward with a complete commitment to compliance in all that we do,” he said. “We now look forward to an exciting football season and putting this process behind us.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

OL Barclay, Braun coming back from shoulder surgery together by michael Carvelli sports editor

It’s no secret that during spring football practice the West Virginia offense was able to live up to the expectations that Mountaineer fans had for it.

With that said, there was one glaring weakness that continued to show throughout the spring: the offensive line.

A lot of those struggles could be due to the fact that the line had to work without two of its more experienced starters, senior Don Barclay and junior Jeff Braun. Both were sidelined in the spring after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.

For Braun, it started in the Mountaineers’ loss to Connecticut last season. After hurting his shoulder, he didn’t practice the entire bye week but was able to step back in and play against Cincinnati.

“I didn’t know what was going to happen to me because we weren’t really sure what I did, and I was nervous,” Braun said.

“The whole plane ride home (from Connecticut) it hurt, so, in my mind, I didn’t know if I was going to play again.”

As time went on and he continued playing with the injury, Braun began to realize that to truly get back to 100 percent, he would probably have to get surgery.

“I knew something wasn’t right,” he said. “(Athletic trainer) Dave Kerns and I did treatment day after day, and it really just wasn’t getting any better. I knew there was just something worse that was going on.

“I just had to be able to deal with the pain. Sometimes it felt like it wasn’t even there, and

then other times it would just give out.”

Barclay, who is slated to be the starter at left tackle when he returns, didn’t know his injury would mean getting surgery until after WVU lost to North Carolina State in the Champs Sports Bowl.

Missing practices would be a hard thing for any player to have to sit through, but for Barclay and Braun, missing this spring meant they might have been a little behind with new position coach Bill Bedenbaugh. But just because they were injured didn’t mean they didn’t do anything during spring practice.

“Being there for film every day, working our tails in the weight room and running and doing extra conditioning when people aren’t here, it definitely pays off,” Barclay said. “I’ll get the reps back come camp, but at the same time, we aren’t behind that much.”

Working through an injury could be a difficult task for a player to get past, but luckily the two of them had each other to help on their way back to 100 percent. And, the fact they were both offensive linemen helped them build a better relationship than they had before they got hurt.

“Our relationship has grown since this whole thing happened,” Braun said. “Once we found out, it kind of relieved me a little bit to know that I would be going through this with one of my offensive line guys, and in the weight room it helped, too, because what we do isn’t what everybody else does.

“We just stuck it out together and now our bond has grown, and it actually might help this season, because I might be

While they weren’t able to physically participate in drills and scrimmages in the spring, it looks like the extra conditioning training they did in the weight room has begun to pay off. Both have said this summer that they are happy with the progress they have made in the five months since they got their surgeries and should definitely be able to play once camp opens up in August.

“We’re a couple of weeks away from being 100 percent,” Barclay said. “We’ve been doing a lot more stuff that we hadn’t been doing, and we’re getting better every day.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

football opponent preview

WVU looking to extend winning streak vs. Rutgers to 17

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

West Virginia hasn’t been defeated

by Rutgers since 1994.

That’s 16 straight victories for the Mountaineers, and the Oct. 29 matchup could possibly be the 17th.

After experiencing some success over the last couple of years, the Scarlet Knights returned back to the bottom of the Big East Conference standings last season.

But, many fans in Piscataway, N.J., are optimistic for Rutgers’ 2011 campaign after a strong spring as it looks to improve on last year’s 4-8 record.

The Knights will return 10 starters on offense from 2010, but that might not be saying much, as they were ranked No. 115 in the country in total offense last season.

Rutgers will be seeing a change in its offense this season, however, under new offensive coordinator – and former Pittsburgh offensive coordinaAP Rutgers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is one half of tor – Frank Cignetti.

In the last two contests between the Scarlet Knights’ receiving duo that combined for 88 Cignetti’s offenses and West Virginia catches and 11 touchdowns in the 2010 season.

defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel’s defense, WVU allowed a combined 26 points.

Defensive playmakers such as Bruce Irvin and Julian Miller should be able to put constant pressure on Rutgers’ sophomore quarterback Chris Dodd, who managed just 139 passing yards against WVU in 2010.

Dodd finished last season with 1,637 yards through the air with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions and showed flashes of brilliances at times.

Against Cincinnati, Dodd threw for 335 yards and four touchdowns.

The signal caller will have a strong group of receivers to throw to, as Rutgers is returning its top two pass-catchers from last year.

Juniors Mark Harrison and Mohamed Sanu could emerge as one of the conference’s best receiving duos after they combined to catch 88 passes for 1,247 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2010.

To have success against WVU, it will be important for Rutgers to establish the run game early, to open play-action for Dodd later in the game to give

him time throw.

Defensively, the Knights will need to replace six starters in 2011, including three members on the defensive line.

Their inexperienced defensive line will square off against a veteran WVU offensive line which returns four starters, but has yet to prove to be consistent.

At linebacker, the Scarlet Knights will be returning their third leading tackler from last season in junior Steve Beauharnais, who had 79 tackles last year.

In the secondary, Rutgers will be returning just one starter, David Rowe.

Last year, Rowe started all 12 games at cornerback but moved to safety this spring.

With an inexperienced defense, there’s a very good chance quarterback Geno Smith and the rest of the WVU offense could have their way with the Scarlet Knights, and the Mountaineers could improve on their impressive winning streak against Rutgers when they travel to Piscataway this October. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Summer is the time for students to get organized Most of us have been there.

Fresh off of a semester full of procrastination and too many missed classes, you promise yourself that it’s never going to happen again.

Next semester will be different. You will be organized. You will be prepared. You’ll always complete your work ahead of time.

Never again will you stay up all night to cram for that organic chemistry exam or write that 15 page English term paper that’s worth a third of your final grade.

Despite these promises you made to yourself after enduring the self-inflicted misery your procrastination has caused, you

find yourself falling back into the same harmful habits again and again.

For those of you who truly want to break this cycle and improve your academic performance, the coming weeks provide a very important opportunity to get organized before the coming semester and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

May and June have come and gone, and we’re a third of the way through July. For college students this can mean only one thing: Summer, and all the wonderful things that come along with it, is winding down.

For West Virginia University’s

undergraduate students, the fall semester starts August 22.

While this may seem like a long time from now, it’s less than six weeks away, and it will surely be here before you know it.

Whether you’re an incoming freshman looking to start off on the right foot or an upperclassman seeking to improve your academic performance (or continue the good work that you’ve already been accomplishing), being adequately prepared and being well organized are both key to being successful in your academic endeavors.

Probably the two most important things you can do in the weeks leading up to the semes-

ter are getting used to efficiently managing your time and establishing a regular sleep cycle.

While traditional daily planners are a great way to organize your time, electronic planners such as Apple’s iCalendar or Google Calendar make it easier than ever to keep up with all of your assignments and appointments.

These applications are incredibly intuitive, and for those of you who own smartphones, the calendars can be synced with your phones to provide you with 24/7 access to all your important scheduling information.

If you don’t already use one

of these types of programs, you should definitely look into it.

You should also start sleeping at regular times during the weeks leading up to the first day of class. There’s nothing worse than lying in bed for hours, trying to get enough sleep to get up for your 8 a.m. class but failing to fall asleep because your body is wired to start sleeping at 5 a.m.

Starting to work on breaking your old, destructive habits and forming new, positive ones now will ensure the coming semester will be your most successful one yet.

Google+ is ideal for those wishing to escape clutter of Facebook Iman Hasan Guest columnist

Does anyone remember the days when people were friends with their actual friends – not family, coworkers, or random acquaintances – on Facebook?

After Facebook became open to anyone who wished to join, I experienced a brief period during which I didn’t have to worry about what I put on Facebook. I was free to share whatever and however I liked. I didn’t have to stop and think about whether a post was appropriate before I shared it.

Then my mother joined.

Soon after, every one of my relatives around the world also signed up.

Suddenly, I had to be a lot more careful about what I shared. I had to think about how my English teacher would react to a link I wanted to post or what my uncle would comment on my status update. Facebook became, well, lame.

Of course, soon after that I learned about the “Limited Profile” feature, but that only worked until all of the old folks figured out what it looks like when they’ve been limited.

I wanted nothing more than to delete my account and be done with the whole mess until I discovered something – I can’t delete my account.

It’s impossible.

Somewhere along the line, Facebook has found ways to rope me in for what may be the rest of my life.

First of all, if I delete my Facebook, I’ll lose most of my pictures from the last four years – unless I take the time to save them one by one, which I am definitely not going to do.

I’ll also miss out on Facebook events, which means I won’t actually know about most of the parties I’m invited to unless I’m informed some other way – which probably won’t happen.

I’ll lose contact with most of the organizations I’m active in, which have mostly forgone email and commenced communication through Facebook groups and private messages.

Finally, I’ll no longer be able to instant message my friends because most of them have stopped using instant messaging services such as AIM and MSN. Unless I want to give up these four things, I need to keep my Facebook.

So how am I supposed to network with my actual friends – not my mom, my

AP

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announces new features to compete with Google + during a press conference at Facebook headquarters teachers and random people who live in my dorm – without having to worry about who’s creeping on my wall posts?

The answer is Google Plus.

Right now, the best feature of Google Plus is that most people don’t have it; but in the long run, Google Plus’s features will make it much easier to keep friends, family and acquaintances separate.

When adding friends on Google Plus, one adds them to “circles” based on one’s relationship with each person.

The default circles are Friends, Family and Acquaintances, but new circles are easily made and/or deleted.

Now, here’s the cool part: When you want to share a post, you first have to select which of your friends can see

it by typing in the name of the circles or friends with whom you want to share.

Another thing I like about Google Plus, which others may not, is that people don’t have “Walls.”

If you want to communicate directly with someone, you edit your post so that only that person can see it. That way, other people can’t see

the message, “like” it or comment on it. It’s completely private.

However, the best thing, by far, is that is looks as though old people are probably going to take their time joining Google Plus because they’ve just settled into Facebook and learned how to use it.

Also, I don’t think anyone invited them.

USA women’s soccer team reminds us we are all fairweather fans Jacob lubman Guest columnist

Be honest with me – how many women’s soccer games did you watch this year?

I watched a few late-night replays, but that was it. So imagine my surprise when immediately after the quarterfinals matchup between the United States women’s soccer team and Brazil’s squad, the internet, social media and water-cooler talk was dominated by how exciting a game this was and how much everyone loved this team.

People pretended they had been connected to this team forever, like it was some ex-

tension of the greatness of our country and these people had lived with the women’s team in the forefront of their minds for some time now.

I’m glad people are excited.

This is our team’s time to shine, and they did so in a very major way – a huge equalizer in a tense rivalry game that will go down as one of the great moments in USA sports history.

This was a true story of American perseverance and overcoming all obstacles to succeed.

I have no problem with being inspired by a great achievement your country accomplishes on the field – much like last year’s last-gasp win in the World Cup by the men’s team – it gives us all a short escape from the grind of daily life.

What I was upset by, however, was the response from the American public. Instead of merely being excited for the team and its achievement, people were suddenly claiming they had followed this team for the duration of their run, like they were actual fans of the team. They used the team’s success to grab a twisted sort of glory for themselves.

“Fan” does not mean that you sometimes watch the games if it becomes a trendy thing to do. Fan is a shortened form of the word and concept “fanatic.” This would suggest that you were passionate about the team and the sport, not that you happened upon a fantastically unusual moment that went its way.

I am reminded of the WVUCincinnati football game a few years ago. Almost everyone left before it was over and WVU charged back into the game, tying it up. Suddenly, fans that had left poured back in, eager to be a part of the action. And, what better chance to show their loyalty than to … return to the stadium that they had just left? Hardly inspiring stuff, I fear.

We forget about teams such as the USA women’s soccer team for years at a time, the epitome of America’s “what have you done for me lately?” attitude.

Despite the USA being by far the most successful country in the history of women’s soccer, we sweep them under the rug until they force us to

take another look.

In a country known for its individualistic approach to pretty much everything, fandom has become another way of pointing out how great you think you are.

“Discovering” a band before your friends, being a “fan” of the team that always wins – it’s just another way for us to oneup someone else.

Excuse my skepticism towards people who immediately jump on the bandwagon when it becomes a trendy thing to do.

This explains why every week we are bombarded with a new set of sensationalist stories we can’t avoid, much like the Casey Anthony trial. But that was so last week.

Perhaps I just don’t want to

be drawn in by it. Perhaps I’m tired of seeing tweets or blogs detailing how thrilled celebrities are that our women’s soccer team managed to pull this game out.

But, remember – it was the team, not us, who pulled this out. They represent our country. Cheer them on; don’t use them as an excuse to show how cool you are.

As a proud supporter of many teams that lose every year, sometimes disastrously, I know how tough it can be to not be a part of the excitement.

So take a step back, wish them well.

They play for this country, remember? They don’t play for you. Respect that, appreciatively clap, and then let the real fans go wild.

WOMEN’s WORLD CUP

SPORTS | 7

men’s basketball

US women all the rage Young WVU players gaining after big win over Brazil confidence in summer league DUSSELDORF, Germany (AP) — The U.S. women's soccer team shared the Yankee Stadium scoreboard with Derek Jeter, made an appearance on "Good Morning America" and can now count Tom Hanks, Lil Wayne and Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers among their list of star-studded admirers.

Like Mia, Brandi and Foudy more than a decade before them, Hope, Abby and the rest of the Americans have become quite the sensation thanks to their performance at the World Cup, a rare turn in the spotlight for U.S. soccer that could produce another watershed moment in the game.

Now the trick is to keep it going.

The Americans play France in the semifinals Wednesday night. Win, and they'll face either Japan or Sweden in Sunday's final with a chance to become the first team to win three Women's World Cup titles.

"It's overwhelming. It's amazing," said midfielder Carli Lloyd Monday morning, still savoring the United States' epic victory over Brazil in a penalty shootout Sunday night.

"The support and buzz back home is really awesome, and I think it's helping women's soccer. This could be a huge turning point for the growth of soccer back home, and that's what we're trying to do and trying to accomplish.

"Hopefully, as an added bonus, we come back with the cup."

Unlike the American men, for whom making it out of the group stage at the World Cup is a strong showing, the U.S. women have been soccer's dominant team for about as long as anyone can remember.

They've won three of the four Olympic gold medals to go with their two World Cup titles. The 1999 squad was such a crossover hit that fans were on a first-name basis with Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain – or last-name basis in Julie Foudy and Kristine Lilly's case – and soccer moms and dads alike turned out in droves with their kids, packing stadiums from coast to coast for that year's World Cup. But U.S. fans can be a fickle bunch. They've become so accustomed to the women's success they yawn at anything less than a World Cup title, and the Americans haven't won soc-

Until, perhaps, now.

"We're participating in something that's huge," said Abby Wambach, whose magnificent, leaping header in the 122nd minute Sunday sparked one of the most riveting finishes ever in a World Cup game – men's or women's. "Very few times does the spotlight shine so bright on women's soccer, and we want to prove to everybody around the world that we have a product and that product is worth watching."

The only thing Americans love more than a winner is one with "U-S-A" emblazoned on its chest, and the fact the women are a gritty, spunky bunch only heightens their appeal. Down a player for almost an hour, on the verge of their earliest World Cup exit ever, with Marta and the Brazilians pushing, shoving and whining for every call they could get, the U.S.

responded with a can-do attitude that is uniquely – proudly – American.

After Wambach tied the game, Hope Solo denied the Brazilians in penalty kicks, her swat of Daiane's attempt so resounding it could be heard all the way back to the States.

With that, Americans from Hollywood to Hoboken, N.J., were hooked. FIFA said it was only the fourth time in World Cup history that a team came back to win after falling behind in extra time, and a first at the Women's World Cup. "Go ahead, jump on the bandwagon and let's do this together," Solo said Monday on Twitter. "One Nation, One World, One Team."

ESPN's broadcast drew a 2.6 overnight rating, the best for a Women's World Cup game since 1999 and second only to that dramatic final at the Rose Bowl, when the Americans beat China on penalty kicks. The game was replayed on ESPN2 a few hours later, an honor reserved for "instant classics."

Most of them haven’t played a collegiate game yet, but all of the newcomers to the West Virginia men’s basketball team are getting an opportunity to play together this summer in a league in Greentree, Pa. The SteelCityTickets.com team is filled with every incoming freshman, the Mountaineers’ two transfers and redshirt freshman big man Kevin Noreen.

As the only player on the team who has played for WVU in the past, Noreen has taken on a leadership role. But while he can help the younger guys out in some ways, he said some things, they just have to find out for themselves along the way.

“I can show them the ropes, I can show them how to practice, and I try to tell them what to expect,” Noreen said. “It’s a work in progress, but the sky’s the limit for us.

“It’s a learning experience for us. Every game, every practice, will get us a little bit farther.”

But even as one of the leaders on the team, many of the players have said that Noreen isn’t much of a vocal leader, but he leads by example.

“I talk when I need to,” Noreen said. “I don’t have a problem communicating, but I’d rather my actions speak for themselves.”

Noreen isn’t the only player on the team with collegiate experience under his belt, though.

Point guard Juwan Staten and center Aaric Murray have already began successful college careers at Dayton and LaSalle, respectively, and are playing with the rest of the young WVU players.

As a freshman last year, Staten was one of the top point guards in the Atlantic 10 Conference and Murray averaged 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds as a sophomore.

“I feel like it’s my job to be a leader, especially with a year under my belt,” Staten said. “I feel like I can help the freshmen get over the hump and show them a couple of things they’re going to have to endure during the season.

“I just think that’s my responsibility as a point guard.”

Of the four games the team full of WVU players has played in, they’ve won just one on a last-second bucket by incoming freshman Aaron Brown. But, even though they haven’t won as many games as they might have wanted to coming in, they’re still getting a chance to get acclimated with one another before they make the trip to Italy later this summer.

And getting to play with each other will give them the chance to raise their confidence playing as a team.

“It’s only natural for us to mesh as time goes on,” said freshman forward Keaton Miles.

“At first, we were all open-eyed freshmen. We were kind of nervous and we were rushing our pace. Now that we’ve got some games in, we’re starting to get more comfortable.”

With all the incoming players in Morgantown, they’re all getting to form relationships with each other and going through their workouts with strength and conditioning coach Andy Kettler.

AP

Redshirt freshman Kevin Noreen is the only player who was played a game for West Virginia playing on the SteelCityTickets.com team this summer.

Those workouts have been among the toughest things about making the transition so far for the freshmen.

“I would be disappointed if it wasn’t hard,” Miles said. “We can see each others’ bodies get stronger, and we help each other when we’re down. It’s a good experience and (Kettler) pushes us a lot.

“We know that he does it in our best interest and he has pressure on him from Huggs to get us ready, and it’s a trickledown effect for us.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAYThis year, you often juggle two different issues, people or situations. You also might find yourself endlessly debating the pros and cons of acting in a certain way. Issues like resentment and guilt could come forward. Your understanding grows as a result. If you are single, you meet many people, as you are unusually attractive this year. However, having a stable relationship presents its challenges, as you swing from one extreme to another. If you are attached, learn to juggle your different intimate needs with your mate’s. Sometimes you might want to be close; others times you desire to be left alone. CAPRICORN has the same issues but a different approach. You can learn from each other.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Take charge of an issue. You might want to rethink a situation, especially if you are inadvertently triggering it.

Remember, you have a choice. Opportunities come forward. Tap into your intuitive sense in order to succeed. Tonight: Until the wee hours.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Don’t push others to do what you most likely would do better. Make a call to a loved one at a distance when you have some quiet time. A sudden insight could be most uncomfortable.

You have a way or style that makes a difference. Tonight: Follow the music.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH A close relationship draws your atten-

tion. The unexpected adds a dimension. Zero in on what you want in the middle of perceived confusion. Others might not be as quick on their feet as you are. Tonight: Dinner with a friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Defer to those around you, especially to a close associate or respected loved one. Unexpected developments impact you. A meeting allows you to see the right path. Look at all your supporters! Tonight: Accept an invitation.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Dive into work as if you want to take tomorrow off. You might be amazed by how much can be accomplished. Pressure builds in a unique manner. Someone might be deliberately giving you false info. Tonight: As late as you can go.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Be reasonable about a situation involving a project, child or new friend. What has occurred in the past doesn’t need to happen anymore. You can change directions if you stay grounded and centered. Tonight: Midweek break.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You could be exhausted by everything that you have had to handle.

You might want to revise your thinking concerning a draining situation.

Only you know how much you can handle. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Tonight: Happily at home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Keep communication flowing, though at some point someone could have a strong reaction. Realize that you

might not have the control you had at first. Tonight: Hang out; visit over munchies.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Honor a financial obligation, even if it makes you very uptight and a little out of kilter. A risk most likely won’t pay off. Think before you leap, and you will be much happier.

Understanding evolves. Tonight: Stay grounded. Go for a walk.

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Resourcefulness comes naturally, yet even more so today. A surprise might stimulate this gift, and you come out with flying colors. Inevitably, Lady Luck drops in your path in some viable form. Accept the gift. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Know when to pull back. You really don’t need others to support you in a key venture. Most likely, at this present time, they could change their mind. Be aware of the costs of this particular project. Tonight: Play it low-key.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Zero in on key goals in a meeting. Others respect how you handle situations and the choices you make concerning them. Friendship plays a bigger role than normal. Be grateful for this person and what he or she naturally offers. Tonight: Midweek fun!

All Good Music Festival prepares to rock Morgantown

WEB

Furthur, featuring former Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, is one of many bands playing the All Good Music Festival in Masontown, W. Va. Other bands include Primus and the Warren Haynes Band.

by Jamie Carbone A&E Editor

This weekend, Thursday through Sunday, music fans will be descending on Masontown, W.Va., for the annual All Good Music Festival, where bands from all over the country will come together for one giant concert.

Located only a few miles

outside of Morgantown, this will be the ninth time the All Good Music Festival will take place at Marvin’s Mountaintop.

Fans can bring their cars or RVs to check out music on the event’s Dragon Stage or the Crane Stage, with no overlapping events so as to let festivalgoers get the full experience, each day of the concert

featuring something new.

Featuring bands such as Primus, Furthur and many more, music fans can have a once in a lifetime experience by going to All Good.

The event starts Thursday at 8 p.m. with Hot Buttered Rum kicking off the show’s first performance, followed

by Beats Antique, John Butler Trio and STS9.

Friday’s show will start with Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, then Infamous Stringdusters, That 1 Guy, Galactic, Everyone Orchestra, Keller Williams, Dana Fuchs, Warren Haynes Band, Toubab Krewe, Furthur, Big Gigantic and Umphrey’s McGee. Zach Deputy kicks of Saturday’s performance, fol-

lowed by The Werks, Donnat h e Bu f f a l o, Ma rc o Benevento, JJ Grey and Mofro, These United States, Rebelution, The Rex Jam, Yonder Mountain String Band, Orgone, moe., Papadosio, Primus, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Pretty Lights.

The last day of the festival will feature performances by All Mighty Sena-

tors, Greensky Bluegrass, J. Roddy Walston & the Business, Toots & the Maytals, The Bridge and Dark Star Orchestra finishing the show.

Those interested in advanced tickets can get them by visiting www.allgoodfestival.com or by going to the Ramada Inn in Morgantown. jamie.carbone@mail.wvu.edu

July brings new comic books worth checking out for action, humor fans

by Alec berry web editor

Many comic books ship to stores each and every month.

While the weekly shopper may be in the know, the average person may have no clue where to begin. Here are a few recommendations I can offer.

Vengeance #1 Writer: Joe Casey Artist: Nick Dragotta From the hot-mouthed, postempire writer Joe Casey comes a new comic mini-series all about villains.

Fans of Casey’s previous Marvel mini series “Dark Reign: Zodiac” should certainly check this out as it has potential to be a spiritual sequel. Artist Nick Dragotta also has much to offer through his expressive line art.

In an interview with www.

ComicBookResources.com columnist Timothy Callahan, Casey described the book as a story and a series that has the feel and the scope of an “event” book without the marketing and publishing problems those stories typically suffer from.

“In the case of this book, we’re violently confronting the weird underbelly of the Marvel Universe,” Casey said. “Parts that you wouldn’t normally see, certainly not in the bright and shiny franchise books that occupy the top of the charts and get major motion pictures made out of them.

“The fact that this book will not sell anywhere close to those numbers – hell, I’m not expecting it to sell any copies – allows for a real freedom that those other event books don’t really have.

There’s too much money riding on them to be at all daring or experimental.”

“Vengeance” #1 is in stores

now for $3.99.

The Red Wing #1 Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Nick Pitarra Writer Jonathan Hickman makes a return to creator-owned comics through form of this new four-issue mini-series about time-traveling fighter pilots.

Hickman, now one of Marvel Comics’ self-dubbed “Architects,” has been kept busy by “Fantastic Four” and “Secret Warriors” scripts, but “Red Wing” should offer more of the experimental

Hickman, reminding readers of previous works like “The Nightly News” and “Pax Romana.”

Hickman’s biggest push for the book, though, has been artist Nick Pitarra. Hickman describes him as a young and hungry talent whose style resembles the likes of Frank Quitely and Geof Darrow.

“The Red Wing” #1 hits stores this week for the price of $3.50.

Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies Writer/Artists: Many Cartoonist Erik Larsen has

held his comic book, “Savage Dragon,” close since 1992, but in the past year he has loosened his grip, allowing up-and-coming comic artists a shot.

Since last May, “Savage Dragon” has contained a back-up feature in with the book’s main content. A few extra pages were home to a different artist where they could tell a “Savage Dragon” story of their own.

Now, for the first time, these

short stories of “Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies” are being collected into trade paperback form.

I am personally a huge fan of Larsen’s “Savage Dragon,” as it is a comic book that ideally portrays what a comic book should be, so the creative freedom, diversity in art style and energy of “Twisted Funnies” wonderfully reflects the idealism “Dragon” conveys.

It was a great experience reading these extra tales each month.

Every story is a delight, and every story is a piece of art in itself.

“Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies” hits stores July 20 for the price of $18.99.

That ends this month’s round of picks. If none of my selections entice you, go check out a Morgantown comic book store anyway; you might find something you like. alexander.berry@mail.wvu.edu

Few things are horrible about ‘Horrible Bosses’ jesse tabit a&e writer

“Horrible Bosses” is a fun, raunchy and satisfying summer comedy. It makes the most of its star-studded cast and features terrific chemistry between the three lead characters Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis).

Each of our three main protagonists has been having a tough time at work. Nick’s boss, Dave Harken, played perfectly by Kevin Spacey, is evil. He views his employees as a colony of ants, and he is the kid with the magnifying glass. Harken is the epitome of a horrible boss and a flatout mean person.

Dale’s boss – a nymphomaniac dentist, played wonderfully by Jennifer Aniston –

cannot keep her hands off of Dale. She is constantly sexually harassing him, even though he is engaged. She even goes to the extremes of involving patients, all of them sedated, in her escapades to show Dale how badly she wants him.

Kurt’s boss (Colin Farrell), who only recently took charge of the office after his father was killed, is a shallow drug addict who has no work ethic whatsoever. He has no respect for his employees and is a rude, self-absorbed jerk.

So, while the three friends are out having a drink one night and sharing stories of how terrible their bosses are, Kurt jokes that he and his friends should kill their superiors.

After a laugh or two, not taking the joke seriously, the friends go their separate ways for the evening and don’t

think anything of it. That is until the next day, when Dr. Harris (Aniston) crosses the line and sends Dale over the boiling point.

Without spoiling too much, Dale convinces his two buddies that the joke they shared the night before might not be such a bad idea, and what follows is a hilarious romp.

Prior to seeing the film, I thought the premise seemed a little farfetched, but the story plays out in a very clever way, and the writing is strong and witty.

Furthermore, it’s such a pleasure to see these prestigious actors – Spacey, Aniston and Farrell – in such dirty, mean and aggressive roles. While Farrell is underused, Spacey and Aniston shine.

It’s also refreshing to see Aniston outside of a sappy, poorly written romantic comedy.

As for the three lead characters, Day, Bateman and Sudeikis have great timing and work well together. Each actor has had their own success: Bateman on “Arrested Development;” Sudeikis on “Saturday Night Live;” and Day on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia;” but together, they’re a comedic tour de force.

And let’s not forget Jamie Foxx as one of the best cameos in recent memory with a name not fit for publishing.

“Horrible Bosses” is raunchy, fun and well worth your time and money. It’s one of the standout comedies of the summer, so take a day off work if your boss allows it, and make a trip to the movies.

Fans prepare to say good-bye to the boy who lived

WEB

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) prepare for their final duel in Warner Bros. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,’ the last film in the Harry Potter series.

by Jamie Carbone A&E Editor

Harry Potter fans all over the world will enter a state of mourning after the final film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” will be released, ending the cherished character’s story.

Magical duels will be fought, beloved characters will die, and tears will be shed as Harry embraces his destiny and faces dark wizard Voldemort to decide the fate of the world.

Knowing it was coming and even having read the book on which the film was based, fans are still anxious for the final movie to come out.

“I am going to be incredibly sad to see it go,” said senior biol-

ogy major Rebecca Sandmeier.

Sandmeier said she was first introduced to the books when she received one as a Christmas gift as a kid and has been a fan ever since.

“It was just really exciting to read about this magical world where so many things could happen,” Sandmeier said.

Also, talking about how the books had a profound effect on her imagination growing up.

“It may sound a bit cliche, but after reading the books so much and getting caught up in such an expansive and magical world, the characters almost seemed like friends,” she said While she plans on seeing the film with her wand in hand, Sandmeier is sad to see the end come.

“I’ll be honest, I’m probably going to be crying my eyes out for quite a bit. It feels like the end, it’s horrible. Granted, there is always Pottermore, which comes out later this year and the Harry Potter theme park,” Sandmeier said, referring to J.K. Rowling’s new website project announced earlier this year, as well the Wizarding World of Harry Potter located at Universal Studios’ Island of Adventure.

Other fans, such as senior creative writing major Matthew Burns, don’t see the last film as an end at all.

“People will be discussing it until the end of time, and there’s always fan fiction. I’m also certain that Rowling won’t be able to leave the universe lie,” Burns said.

Burns was also a child when the first books were released, and, because of Rowling’s use of characterization, has become a lifelong fan, especially of the titular character. “(Harry) changed the most of any character, but he managed to remain heroic. At the same time, he was never perfect, either, in a fight or in his personal relationships.” Burns said, comparing him to comic book hero Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man. While both Sandmeier and Burns have had problems with some of the elements of the Harry Potter films that have come out over the years, both plan on seeing the final installment at midnight, and the films have traits they have come to

love.

“I really approve of Alan Rickman for Severus Snape. I think it’s one of the only casting decisions I’ve never complained about. He does really well at it, and I’m glad he didn’t mess up one of my favorite characters.”

Sandmeier said.

Burns, however, went a more lighthearted route, saying that he loves the twins Fred and George Weasley and added that the body language used by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione allowed for the characters to say so much with so little.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” will come out this Friday and allow fans to see the fates of the characters they

have known for years.

For those who aren’t yet ready to let go, J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore website, located at www. pottermore.com, will be available to a select few on July 31, Harry’s birthday, with the website opening for everyone else on October 1.

Although this is the end of the Harry Potter series, Rowling has shown in the past that she is willing to return to the wizarding world with her online-published Harry Potter prequel, as well as “The Tales of Beedle the Bard,” both published after “Deathly Hallows” was released.

Whether or not this is the last time we see these characters, only time will tell. jamie.carbone@mail.wvu.edu

W. Va. Public Theatre ‘Chicago’ shows the windy city can be hot, hot, hot A&E Writer

West Virginia Public Theatre continued its off-Broadway summer season with the hit “Chicago” at the Metropolitan Theater last week.

“Chicago” is set in the windy city during the Roaring ‘20s.

Its star, Roxie Hart, lands herself in prison after slaughtering her lover.

However, in Chicago, where “crime is a form of entertainment,” Roxie’s fame skyrockets after she employs smooth-talking lawyer, Billy Flynn.

Along the way, she meets fellow cellmates, Matron

“Mamma” Morton and the famous Velma Kelly, from whom she steals the spotlight.

“Chicago” was a captivating production. The musical was directed by Michael Licata, a WVPT veteran who is celebrating his 12th season directing for West Virginia Public Theatre.

The show was choreographed by Chris Saunders, the same person who also choreographed “Cats.”

The intricate lounge-style dance numbers were the life of the show, and the lively yet subtly sinister jazz music created a delightfully sleazy tone for the cut-throat stage life of

the Roaring ‘20s.

The performers were extremely talented. The two female leads, Maggie Politi (Roxie Hart) and Brandi Wooten (Velma Kelly), stole the show with their fancy footwork and soaring jazz arias. There was a nice balance of personalities on the stage.

Philip Peterson (Billy Flynn) had the charm and wit a slick lawyer deserves, while David S. Scott, who played Roxie Hart’s forlorn husband, brought heart and sullen comedic grace to the part.

Also worth mentioning is Whitney E. Hayes (“Mamma”) who belted an amazing solo during the first act that blew the audience away.

Overall, “Chicago” literally brought everything to the stage
