WVU proposes tuition increase

BY EMILY SPICKLER and Joel morales DA STAFF

The proposed budget for West Virginia University’s 2012 fiscal year includes an increase in tuition for all students.

Narvel Weese, vice president of Administration and Finance, presented the proposal during the last Board of Gover-

nors meeting.

The pending budget plans an increase student tuition by approximately 4.9 percent. Tuition for West Virginia residents will increase by $268 and $844 for nonresidents.

“We wanted it out there so students would have an idea and so they would know about the possible tuition increase,” said Carolyn Long, BOG chair.

WVU is trying to increase next year’s tuition in order to fund the new School of Public Health and support increases in salaries considered to be “critical to retention and recruitment of high quality faculty and staff,” Weese said.

The proposed budget includes $4.2 million in new state funds with $3 million designated to fund salary increases and $1 mil-

lion to the new school.

“Faculty and non-classified staff increases are needed to compete for talent and expertise on the national level and to reward employees who continue to demonstrate outstanding performance,” Weese said.

“Staff increases will be focused on fully funding the classified staff schedule and providing increases for those employees

whose salaries are currently capped because of their placement on that schedule.”

The proposed budget includes an increase in salaries for faculty and staff by approximately 3 percent.

Pennsylvania State University’s undergraduate in-state tuition is $15,250, and University of Pittsburgh’s is $14,936.

A presidential candidate for the Pirate Party of the West Virginia University Student Government Association elections, sent an email in which he calls on University administrators to launch further investigations into alleged wrongdoing during the campaign.

Daniel Brummage sent the email to University administrators and several news sources around the state, calling upon President James P. Clements, the WVU Police Department and the General Counsel’s office to “investigate and make known any breaches in FERPA and other laws.”

On the day that would have been her grandfather’s 66th birthday, Allie Zaccarelli walked around the track for a cure to the cancer that claimed his life. Zaccarelli, a freshman forensic and investigative science major, was one of 1,855 people to participate in Friday night’s Relay for Life at West Virginia University.

“I had a lot of family members affected by cancer, and I think it’s a really good cause that everyone should be aware of,” Zaccarelli said. “I love it because it shows

how much people care.”

Zaccarelli appreciated the opportunity to do something to remember and celebrate her grandfather’s life.

“It was so nice to know that I could show how much he meant to me in something that took his life,” Zaccarelli said.

She believes her grandfather would be proud of her if he knew all she was doing to honor him and help find a cure to the disease.

“When my mom found out I was doing the relay, she said she was proud, but also he would have been,” Zaccarelli

said.

Wendy Shannon, a Morgantown resident, also attended the event in honor of family who died from cancer.

The lives of Shannon’s sister and uncle were taken by cancer, inspiring her to support the American Cancer Society.

“I’m here because my sister and uncle both passed away from cancer, so we just wanted to support the cancer society to help come up with a cure for cancer,” Shannon said. “It means a lot for me to see all these people out here, supporting

WVU students win business competition

bY ALEX dufour Correspondent

Business students from across the state competed for the opportunity to receive funding for their business models during a contest at West Virginia University.

The West Virginia Statewide Collegiate Business Plan Competition gives students a chance to share their ideas and potentially receive funding for them, said Mindy Walls, director of the Entrepreneurship Center.

“The winners receive $10,000 in cash, legal and accounting services valued at $1,500 each, a year of space in the WVU business incuba-

tor and the lifestyle and innovation winner also got $1,000 in printing services,” she said.

Grant Bayerle, a third-year law student, won the lifestyle and innovations category by developing the winning CardRecs idea, which focuses on the safekeeping of important veterans documents.

“I feel that my business has great potential not only to generate a profit in its infancy stage, but also to grow into a real, sustainable business,” Bayerle said.

In order to collect prizes, students are required to begin the business while working with an advisory group to guide them in using the money and services. There has been a sig-

nificant increase in entries to the competition over the last year, Walls said.

“I think the increase in entries is due to students’ desire to be entrepreneurial,” she said. “As awareness of the competition increases, students realize that it is possible to start their own businesses.”

The winning team in the Hospitality and Tourism category consisted of John Elias, senior agribusiness management student, and horticulture student Stephen Redmond. Their business proposal included a fresh fruits and vegetables direct marketing company.

“The main duty I had was convincing a panel of business

professionals that not only did I have a great business idea, but that the idea could be executed,” Bayerle said.

In the past four years, more than 15 businesses have been started by the 40 finalist teams that have participated in the competition.

The grand prize provides funding and services that otherwise would not be accessible to these students, he said.

“Perhaps the greatest reward is the skill set you acquire by actually doing all the work. You learn how to take a simple idea and turn it into a real, functioning business that people want to invest in,” he said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

WVU student goes back to Japan after quake devastation by lydia nuzum staff writer

A West Virginia University student spent his spring break helping earthquake and tsunami victims in his home country of Japan.

Yuya Kudo, a junior biology major, said he received a text message early one morning from a friend concerned for his relatives back in Japan. What followed was nearly a week of uninterrupted news coverage as Kudo tried to assess the situation in his home country.

“They were saying on CNN that my home country was falling apart,” Kudo said.

On March 11, a 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck the northeast coast of Japan, killing hundreds of people, causing a massive tsunami and severely damaging a coastal nuclear power plant. It was the largest earthquake ever recorded in the nation’s history.

The day after Kudo’s friend messaged him, his parents called. They were unharmed, but had not heard from other relatives who lived closer to the epicenter of the earthquake.

Kudo, a resident assistant in Boreman Hall, said he was called into a meeting with the resident hall coordinator and resident faculty leaders later in the week. There, they offered to provide him with a

plane ticket to his home in Tokyo.

“They just started asking me, “When do you want to leave?,” “When do you want to come back?” Kudo said. “I didn’t want to accept at first. I thought it was too much to ask.”

Ian Kellems, a resident faculty leader for Boreman Hall, said those involved felt compelled to help Kudo in any way they could.

“I think it was a powerful experience for Boreman,” Kellems said. “It made the catastrophe more real for us.”

Kellems said residents donated money to help Kudo on his return to Japan.

“It was great to have that personal connection to what was going on,” Kellems said.

Other RAs in Boreman Hall began collecting boxes of food, blankets and first aid kits for Kudo to take with him to Japan.

“I think the weight of my bags was way over limit,” Kudo said. “But I think the lady at the desk in the airport knew what I was doing, because she didn’t even charge me.”

The flight to Japan was 13 hours, and once he arrived there, Kudo spent several days with his immediate family at his home in Tokyo, he said. Afterward, he drove two hours to

the cancer society.”

The event began with an opening ceremony where cancer survivors were celebrated with an opening lap, followed by a lap with their caregivers.

Throughout the night, participants of the event walked around the track in support for those suffering from cancer.

This year’s Relay for Life was movie-themed. Teams dressed and held activities based on various movie characters.

In addition to these, there was a rock wall, Zumba classes, a moon bounce, cornhole, water pong and dodgeball tournaments to keep the participants active throughout the day.

Throughout the night, teams continued to raise money through different fundraisers including face paint-

ing, a chocolate fountain, bake sales and a scavenger hunt.

Relay for Life raised $84,166, surpassing their original goal of $80,000.

“Seeing the survivors and knowing that we are making a difference was so inspirational,” said Mary Lough, senior community manager with the American Cancer Society. “Every dollar that we raise moves us closer to finding a cure for cancer.”

Lough’s husband is a 20year survivor and is her inspiration for organizing Relay for Life events.

“A lot of people here have people that have survived and others that we have lost that are close to us,” Lough said.

“Everyone here tonight is going to be able to look back on this one day and say: ‘I helped find that cure.’”

Sorority wins step show competition by lydia nuzum staff writer

Members of the West Virginia University Greek community organized and participated in the annual Divine 9 Step Show competition on Saturday to showcase traditional stepping.

Four teams competed in Saturday’s event, with groups from Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania traveling to Morgantown to compete, said Jacqueline Dooley, program coordinator for Student Organizations.

The WVU chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority won best sorority in the competition.

The Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity from Frostburg State University in Frostburg, MD placed first among the competing fraternities.

More than 300 people attended the event, Dooley said.

Stepping is a modern dance form that incorporates elements of traditional African dance infused with contemporary hip-hop and rhythmic marching beats from World War II.

It began as a means of communication for many African tribes, and has expanded to include traits from multiple aspects of black culture. Many historically black fraternities and sororities started stepping on college campuses in the 1960s.

“This event is important because everyone in the Greek community comes to showcase their talent through the tradition of stepping,” Dooley said.

“Stepping is tradition in African dance that communicates joy, sorrow - everything,” Dooley said.

Each team was judged on eight different criteria, including originality, difficulty, precision, clarity or vocal projection, enthusiasm, crowd reaction, unity and overall performance.

Chantel Perry, a senior computer science major and president of the WVU chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, said the event fosters camaraderie between fraternities and sororities on campus, as well as with other schools.

“One of the biggest things about this event is that being a member of one of our fra-

“When we gather and meet other members, it really is an honor.”

The three fraternities participating in the event were Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Iota Phi Delta, Perry said, and the Delta Sigma Theta sorority also competed.

“Step show is one of our biggest events of the year because everyone in the Greek

community gets to come together and have a great time,” Pewrry said.

Perry said much of the PanHellenic Council’s resources have gone into coordinating the step show, and they have worked hard to organize and assure the success of the competition.

“It takes a lot of practice and a lot of hard work,” Perry said. lydia.nuzum@mail.wvu.edu

According to Lofstead, scholarship support for students will also be increased to balance the weight of the increase.

“The University is always trying to keep costs down for students and parents,” she said.

The budget will be finalized and formally presented to the BOG in June.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Rescue crews searched for survivors in wind-blasted landscapes Sunday in North Carolina, the state hardest hit by a storm system that spawned dozens of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Virginia and left dozens dead.

The spring storm, North Carolina’s deadliest in two decades, spun off 62 tornadoes in that state alone Saturday night. Eleven people were confirmed dead in rural Bertie County, said county manager Zee Lamb.

Another four were confirmed dead in Bladen County, bringing the state’s death toll to at least 21. Deaths reported by officials in five other states brought the U.S. toll to 45.

In the capital city of Raleigh, three family members died in a mobile home park, said Wake County spokeswoman Sarah Williamson-Baker. At that trailer park, residents lined up outside Sunday and asked police guarding the area when they might get back in.

Peggy Mosley, 54, who has lived in the park for 25 years, said she was prepared when the storm bore down on the trailer park. She gathered small pillows and other material and hunkered down in her small bathroom.

“I went and got into my small bathroom and just sat in there and cried and prayed un-

Farther up the street, Angelina McCaizie was also among those hoping to get back to their homes.

She said she had been cooking when she saw the winds and rain pick up. She grabbed her children, nephew and brother and brought them into the kitchen, where everyone ducked until the storm passed.

When the storm was over, McCaizie, her husband and her

brother went outside to check on neighbors. She said she saw several people bleeding and others with broken bones. McCaizie also said one resident ran up to her shouting, “Please help me! Please help me! I need 911.”

“It was horrible,” McCaizie said.

Gov. Beverly Perdue said Sunday that state emergency management officials told her more than 20 were killed by the storms in North Carolina.

However, the far-flung damage made it difficult to confirm the total number of deaths.

The emergency management agency said it had reports of 22 fatalities, and media outlets and government agency tallies did not all match.

The National Weather Service said 23 died in the state, including one in Johnston County, but an emergency management chief there told The Associated Press nobody died in that area.

Brummage said in the email he presented “undeniable evidence” of Cheng’s involvement during the Judicial Board meeting, which he said was ignored.

Cheng said he was unsure

of Brummage’s motivation in sending the email.

“I don’t really understand where he’s coming from, I mean the Judicial Board dismissed the case. What more does he want? If he’s doing it to get a campaign advantage, I think it’s weak and pathetic,” Cheng said.

Cheng said despite his confusion, he respected Brummage’s right to pursue his complaints.

“He has a right to do whatever he wants to do, so he’s going to do whatever he’s going to do,” he said.

“I finally managed to convince them. I told them I couldn’t just sit around the house for two weeks doing nothing,” Kudo said.

Kudo said he couldn’t take the expressway directly to his destination because it passed near the damaged power plant, and his trip took a long time because of the extreme gas shortage in the area.

“The lines were two or three hours long,” Kudo said. “And you could only purchase 20 or 30 liters at a time. That isn’t even half a tank.”

When he finally reached the coast, Kudo said he came in touch with many of his relatives, all of whom were safe despite being deprived of electricity, gas and running water.

While he was with them, 14 Israeli dusters arrived to provide aid to the victims of the disaster. Kudo said he helped them in their relief efforts, even serving as a translator for Israeli doctors for a short time.

“I just hope and ask people to realize what they have, how lucky they are to have what they have right now,” Kudo said.

Run game brightens rainy day

WVU offense shows promise in scrimmage If there was ever a day to show off West Virginia’s new offense, Saturday was not it.

The sky opened up, and rain poured down on Morgantown and Milan Puskar Stadium as the team started its first spring scrimmage with its new offense.

There were dropped passes and fumbles that likely wouldn’t have happened if the conditions would’ve let up.

Still, there was a scrimmage played, and there were opinions to be had on the Mountaineers’ new offense under first-year coordinator Dana Holgorsen.

I wasn’t particularly impressed by the results, but I was with the potential that this offense obviously has.

There wasn’t much offense to be had, in part, due to the weather. But the teams were able to combine for 352 yards on 73 plays.

That’s not great. It’s surely not the type of numbers and touchdowns that Holgorsen is looking for come September.

But, in spots, the offense looked like it had the potential that Holgorsen’s offenses have had in the past at Oklahoma State, Houston and Texas Tech.

There were a few plays on Saturday that absolutely made me believe WVU will have the best offense in the Big East in the fall.

WVU quarterback Geno Smith took advantage of single coverage when possible.

On one play, he threw up a jump ball to receiver J.D. Woods, who out-worked the defender and caught the pass for 28 yards.

Near the end of the scrimmage, Smith found slot receiver Tavon Austin on a simple crossing route. But, the play was designed to allow Austin nearly 20 yards of open field. It ended with a 23-yard scamper and a highlight for both players on the afternoon.

The last was the scrimmage’s only passing touchdown – a 7-yard score from freshman signal caller Paul Millard to slot receiver Tyler Urban. Millard navigated the defense and threw a nice ball over two defenders to Urban, who used perfect form to catch the pass. Millard found a way to sneak passes in between defenders throughout the dreary afternoon.

The standout on Saturday was Millard, who finished 11of-18 for 149 yards and one touchdown. After two straight practices, in which Millard looked to struggle, he came out on Saturday and securely placed himself as the No. 2 quarterback.

While Smith will be the starter (and there is no doubt about that), Millard is proving that he is capable of being a dependable backup in this system. That’s not something WVU could say last year at this time.

The biggest surprise was the team’s success on the ground. WVU’s skill players rushed for 149 yards led by freshman Vernard Robert’s 57 yards. The running backs had an easier time inside the tackles than I expected and really took advantage of a young defense for the most part.

While it seems there hasn’t

West Virginia tailback Shawne Alston, 20, attempts to escape the defense during a drill last week. Alston finished with 28 yards on seven carries in WVU’s first full scrimmage of the season Saturday.

Trio of tailbacks (Alston, Johnson, Hargrett) lead Mountaineers

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Saturday’s full scrimmage was the first opportunity to display Dana Holgorsen’s high-powered, pass-first offense.

The Mountaineers’ ground game, however, stole the show.

With steady rain covering Mountaineer Field throughout the scrimmage, the West Virginia offense scored three times in the 80-play scrimmage but had to wait until the session’s final play of the day for the unit’s first passing touchdown. That came when freshman quarterback Paul Millard found Tyler Urban over the middle for the score.

Tailbacks Trey Johnson and Shawne Alston scored

1-yard and 3-yard carries for the scrimmage’s only other touchdowns.

“We wanted to do better,” said WVU starting quarterback Geno Smith. “But this is the first time we got a chance to put (the offense) all together. I think we did a pretty good job. It wasn’t sloppy.”

Smith started the scrimmage 1-for-5 passing and finished the day 7-for-13 for 96 yards. Three of the junior’s completions went for at least 20 yards including a 29-yard completion to Ivan McCartney.

Smith and the first-team offense struggled early, gaining just five yards on their first two possessions combined before gaining 27 yards on their third possession and going 75-yards to score on their

fourth possession.

Millard and the secondteam offense opened eyes early. Millard began the day 9-for-10 passing for 125 yards and led the unit on a 91-yard drive on their opening possession before the snap on a Corey Smith field goal attempt was mishandled.

Smith hit a 36-yard field goal later in the scrimmage.

“Geno had a very sound day,” said WVU head coach Bill Stewart. “Paul stepped up and did some good things for a kid who should still be in high school.”

Fellow freshman Brian Athey worked with the third team unit and completed 1-of-3 pass attempts.

Millard finished 11-for-18 for 149 yards, although multiple passes were dropped in

rainy conditions. The freshman threw the only interception of the day when he was picked off by Mike Dorsey in the end zone.

He also overthrew a fade to a wide-open Stedman Bailey in the back of the end zone.

Stewart said receiver Tavon Austin impressed the most during the scrimmage. The junior caught three passes, including a 23-yard catch across the middle, while he also gained three yards on an end-around.

Freshman Vernard Roberts led all rushers with 57 yards on eight carries including a 27-yard pickup. DaQuan Hargrett finished with eight carries for 33 yards, while Johnson ended with seven carries

Weather impacts team’s first full scrimmage

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

Rain and heavy winds limited how the new West Virginia offense was able to play in its first spring scrimmage on Saturday.

With the tough conditions, the Mountaineers’ high-powered passing attack stalled a little more than it thrived – especially early on.

It took the first-team offense four possessions before it found the end zone as the rain poured down on the white-clad offense.

While the first-team offense behind quarterback Geno Smith struggled early, it showed flashes of brilliance at times.

Almost every drive was riddled with slip-ups, though.

“That’s part of the game.

You’re going to make some mistakes, and the weather didn’t really help us out,”

said Smith, who finished 7-of-13 for 96 yards. “We’ve just got to look at it as a positive and keep doing better.”

While the inclement weather did make things tougher on the offense, the defense seemed like it was able to thrive in that environment.

Through the first few weeks of practice, the unit looked like it would take a little longer than expected to replace the seven starters that left from last year’s lineup.

But, on Saturday, it held its ground much better than many expected.

“This was definitely a defensive game. When it’s raining and the wind’s blowing, that’s where we just go out there and have fun,” said WVU senior cornerback Keith Tandy. “You feel like a little kid again. It’s tougher (for the offense) to cut when it’s slippery out, and you can

run full speed at them and freshman quarterback Paul they can’t shake you.”

Students must send a message with revote This week, students at West Virginia University will have the opportunity to make their voices heard and elect a new student government.

Again.

Just when we thought the seemingly never-ending and historically distasteful Student Government Association election season would finally be coming to an end, the results of the election were not certified due to widespread allegations of fraudulent activity.

Instead, the SGA Judicial Board ordered a revote and doled out some puzzlingly le-

nient punishments to three candidates who were found guilty of breaking the rules. The Judicial Board justified its decision by asserting the “abundance of evidence on both sides of mass voter fraud” made it impossible to single out individuals to disqualify from the elections.

This “mass voter fraud” the Judicial Board was referring to ranges from violations, such as “dorm storming,” to much more serious ones, including the allegations that student ID numbers collected by SGA candidates were used to cast illegal votes.

Such behavior would not

be tolerated in any other setting. The Judicial Board had a responsibility to act decisively and make an example out of those who were found guilty after conducting a thorough investigation.

Instead, they handed out a couple of meaningless punishments and ordered a revote, essentially deciding to act like the whole thing never happened and providing those who behaved dishonestly with a second chance.

The Board’s decision caps an election season that devolved into an embarrassing specta-

cle and is a disservice to the student body and the University as a whole.

It will do nothing to prevent similar behavior in the future, and it fails to fulfill the Judicial Board’s responsibility of holding those who behaved inappropriately accountable for their actions.

Thus, this responsibility now falls on the student body. The revote will be held Wednesday at monitored polling places throughout the Downtown, Evansdale and Health Sciences campuses.

This provides students with

the opportunity to send an explicit message to all current and future candidates that the disgraceful actions that marred this year’s SGA elections will not be rewarded.

Students must participate in this election and vote for the candidates who have conducted their campaigns with dignity and respect.

This is the only way to ensure that those who embarrassed the student body with their negative campaigning and dishonest behavior cannot continue to do so.

God should always be excluded from political arguments brandon muncy Columnist

God-given and inalienable rights are the core of most modern-day political debates.

They have been a staple in political discussions for centuries. From John Locke, to arguments between today’s liberals and conservatives, what is and is not a right is a highly contentious arena full of political clout.

Not only is God not necessary in determining these inalienable rights, God should be discouraged from ever entering the political arena.

Devoutly religious happenstances aside, using God as a platform on which to stand should be frowned upon in intelligent discussion.

Not only are there numerous gods from various religions, there are also many interpretations of said gods’ laws.

One example in particular is just how “socialist” the Bible is. There are arguments ranging from either side of the political spectrum.

From contending that it is a book which commands individualism and voluntary charity, to arguments stating that

“Christianity means nothing if it does not mean socialism.”

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,” sums up my feelings on the path to heaven for fellow Christians.

Ultimately, my last point serves to show that religious interpretation is at the behest of our own personal biases, and when determining earthly, human rights, a path of logic is the preferable one.

I’m not arguing that your world view cannot or should not be shaped by religious beliefs; however, making a case for God-given inalienable rights is a convoluted mess which could eventually reframe a debate on universal health care to whether or not it is God’s will to establish a welfare state.

This is assuming that both participants believe in a higher power.

In this case, universal health care is fundamentally a red herring, and the real debate is God’s will. While universal health care is the end being debated, the issue is being subverted by religious biases.

The pros and cons of the actual issue at hand are not fully disclosed, and in many cases, are eventually ignored.

The proper way to decide man’s rights are through gen-

eral observation of man’s actions. To oversimplify, man’s acts. To try and disprove that theory is in and of itself an action.

As described by famed intellectual Murray Rothbard, “The distinctive and crucial feature in the study of man is the concept of action. Human action is defined simply as purposeful behavior.”

Rothbard argues that these actions are distinguishable from movements of inorganic matter and involuntary human responses to certain stimuli, such as reflexes.

He says these actions can be meaningfully interpreted by other men, and are carried out by the actor with a particular end in sight. It is from these first few steps in logic that we may derive human rights.

Praxeology, the study of human action, does not assert anything about man’s goals; simply that he has them.

It does not place any judgements on subjective characteristics of action such as “moral,” “altruistic” or “righteous.”

It is different from psychology or the philosophy of ethics because praxeology does not ask “why” a man chooses his ends or whether or not he should pursue said ends.

Thus, using praxeology and logic to determine hu-

The new pastor at the First Congregational Church stands outside the church in Braintree, Mass. man rights has far-reaching implications.

Most modern governments operate under the assumption that it is not violating the rights of the people, and are, in fact, implicitly working for the will of the people.

To put it simply, govern-

ments supposedly serve the people. At least ideally, anyway.

Using praxeology as a guide for determining the role of government is superior to that of religious bias.

This is because it does not weigh itself down, at least not as heavily, in open and ambig-

AP

uous interpretations.

Praxeology focuses not on how things “should be,” but rather, how things “are.”

That is always the best road to follow in the long-run when determining human rights and by extension, the role of government.

Jones’ Quran burning response was unacceptable and hurtful to US Muslims Chris Seeman The Daily reveille Uwire

Pastor Terry Jones is a misguided bigot.

The part-time preacher and part-time used furniture salesman has done his damndest to earn that title, using his role as the leader of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., to create more controversy than any poorly funded, 50-member hate group (that’s the Southern Poverty Law Center’s designation, not mine) deserves.

The trouble began last year, when Jones and his followers planned to burn copies of the

Quran on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jones’ intentions were widely publicized and sparked international outrage, which eventually led to the cancellation of the event dubbed “International Burn a Quran Day” by Jones.

Jones apparently could not help himself, however, and decided to preside over a “trial” on March 20 in which the Quran was convicted and executed – by burning, of course.

This time, the outrage was real as well. Protests erupted in Afghanistan and Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 people.

American politicians and religious leaders scrambled to repudiate the actions of both Jones and the violent protes-

tors, and some went so far as to place the blame for the deaths on Jones himself.

Jones’ credentials as a poorly informed polemicist were well-established prior to his Quran burning.

He first came to nationwide prominence by placing a sign on the church’s lawn that read “Islam is the Devil.” To top it off, Dove World Outreach participated in a joint protest last year with the ultimate provocateurs at the Westboro Baptist Church, who are known for their inflammatory signs and staging of protests at U.S. soldiers’ funerals.

That being said, Jones is not a murderer. Shifting the responsibility for these deaths to anyone other than those who committed the murders is irresponsible because it

disallows us from examining this issue in its entirety.

It’s an inescapable fact that the violence in Afghanistan and Pakistan was perpetrated by radical Muslims.

Unfortunately, the assurance this type of response would result probably empowered Jones, who uses the violence committed by Muslims as a justification for his hateful proselytizing.

Violent reprisals following perceived slights are not a new phenomenon for radical Muslims, and it would be unwise to write off these actions as the expected response to any affront. So then, who is to blame?

Appropriately enough, the LSU Muslim Student Association held a seminar Wednesday entitled “Islam: Should

We Be Afraid?” The featured lecturer was Omar Suleiman, an Islamic religious leader in New Orleans.

Suleiman spent a large portion of his time dispelling negative stereotypes of Muslim Americans and emphasizing their integration and positive influence on American society, but also addressed the Quran burning controversy.

He echoed the criticism of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has been skewered for stoking the flames of violent protest for imploring the international community to punish Jones on March 24.

Jones’ actions were largely unknown in the Arab world this time, as the American media had largely ignored him to prevent violence from occurring.

Karzai and Jones both acted irresponsibly, but it is folly to pin the blame for the violence on either of them.

Though radicals no doubt represent a small portion of Muslims throughout the world, they are unequivocally responsible for these violent protests, with many using the uninformed bigotry of Jones to exercise some violent bigotry of their own.

Unfortunately, the responsibility for marginalizing these voices of violence and extremism falls upon moderate American Muslims like Suleiman.

The only real option American Muslims have is to lead by example and heed Suleiman’s advice when the next Terry Jones comes prodding: ignore him.

Letter to the editor Spending cuts are controversial, but necessary With a deficit of nearly $14.3 trillion, it is evident that changes must be made. Social Security will be depleted in 2037, and we will be paying to receive nothing. Medicare is growing more costly, and it is likely we will not have Medicare by our retirement (which will probably be at age 70 or older).

All the wonderful aspects of retirement that our parents and grandparents have enjoyed will no longer apply to us.

How do we fix this massive issue? The answer is quite simple, really: Don’t spend money you

DA

don’t have.

What would be a basic lesson for average citizens seems to be a complicated weave of bureaucracy for Washington. Our government cannot continue to spend money it doesn’t have.

Currently, the average debt per citizen is around $100,000.

Many political extremists popular with the left wing seem to think the solution is to raise taxes, more specifically, for the wealthy.

They could not be more wrong. Increasing taxes for the wealthy would likely put the tax rate above 50 percent, meaning they would give more money to the government to redistribute than they would keep for themselves.

That doesn’t sound like much of an American dream to me. I

have one proposed solution for a miniscule cut, and that is to privatize Social Security.

If each American got back the (conservatively) $5,000 a year they pay into the pool, they could take that same amount and place it in a 401(k) or IRA that would pay a real rate of return near 8 percent.

That is significantly more than you would receive from any Social Security check. This is but a pebble in the ocean of spending cuts that need to be made.

It is time for Washington to step up to the plate and cut spending tremendously.

I reiterate, we cannot continue spending money we do not have.

SPRING SOCCER

Mountaineers continue strong Big WVU splits at Puskar Soccer Invitational East play, take 2-of-3 at Notre Dame by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

The West Virginia baseball team won two of three games this weekend over Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. After their two wins, the Mountaineers are now tied with St. John’s for third in the Big East Conference.

WVU (22-15, 8-4 Big East) claimed the front end of Friday’s doubleheader 6-4 in 10 innings, but couldn’t get the bats going in game two as several in-game rain delays prolonged a 5-2 victory for the Irish (14-18-1, 5-7 Big East).

West Virginia responded with an 8-1 win on Sunday to take the series and keep it in the thick of the conference race.

Senior pitcher Andy Berry got the start in game three and worked all nine innings for

WVU en route to the win.

Berry (5-2) threw 113 pitches, 71 for strikes, allowing just three hits, three walks and one earned run. The senior right-hander struck out the side in the ninth inning to close out the series.

“They look up to Andy because he’s a senior,” said WVU head coach Greg Van Zant of his young pitching staff. “He gets outs and really shows these younger guys that it’s not all about velocity.”

The complete game in the finale came on the heels of big outings by the WVU bullpen, as the Friday doubleheader saw a combined 11 innings of work for the Mountaineer relievers.

Freshman Ryan Tezak picked it up for WVU starter Marshall Thompson in game one, allowing one hit and fanning four in the final 3 2/3 innings to set up the extra inning

hit by freshman Ryan McBroom to go ahead 6-4.

Freshman left-hander Harrison Musgrave got the game two start for West Virginia, but saw a first inning exit after allowing two runs on two hits.

Van Zant said that the decision to pull Musgrave early also had a lot to do with the wet weather conditions and a knee injury he suffered in the inning.

“With all the rain throughout the day, the mound was just a little slippery, and he was sliding around on it and tweaked his knee,” Van Zant said.

Musgrave was looked at by trainers and isn’t expected to miss any time.

Corey Walter handled the next seven innings for WVU, giving up three runs on four hits, three walks and four strikeouts.

Walter (2-3) was credited

with the loss, as a two-run top of the first would be all that the Mountaineer offense could muster in game two.

Those two runs were brought in off the bat of Jeremy Gum, who hit a two-run double with two outs.

West Virginia’s offense was led by redshirt senior Grant Buckner.

Buckner went 6-for-12 on the weekend scoring four runs and driving in four RBI off a pair of doubles and his fifth homer of the season. The senior shortstop has a career batting average of .351 against the Fighting Irish, including 13 runs scored, 20 RBI and five round-trippers.

The Mountaineers will next be in action on Thursday when they begin a three-game home series with Seton Hall. ethan.rohrbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

nba playoffs

Sports Writer

Grizzlies stun No. 1 San Antonio for first playoff win SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Zach Randolph raised his fists above his head. The Memphis Grizzlies carried the motto “Let’s Make History” into the playoffs, and in a stunning Game 1 upset, they had already done it.

Sixteen years after entering the NBA, the Grizzlies finally have a postseason win.

Randolph had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and Shane Battier hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 23.9 seconds left Sunday to give Memphis a 101-98 victory over the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs.

It’s the first playoff win ever for Memphis, which had been 0-12 in four previous trips.

“It’s nice from an annoyance perspective to have it out of the way, because I don’t have to answer questions about being 0 and 13,” Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said.

Instead, all the questions are about the 61-win Spurs being down 0-1.

Playing without All-Star guard Manu Ginobili, who continued to rest his sprained right elbow, San Antonio still had a chance to send the game to overtime. Richard Jefferson missed an open, straightahead 3-point look as time expired, then bit down on his jersey collar.

“I was wide open,” Jefferson said.

Randolph, who scored nine in the fourth and bullied San Antonio’s aging frontcourt with all of his 255 pounds, walked past Jefferson with his fists raised in triumph. The rest of the Grizzlies bench spilled onto

Shawne Alston, Daquan Hargrett, Trey Johnson and Roberts received the bulk of the carries for the Mountaineers.

I was interested to see how Holgorsen and running back Robert Gillespie would use each running back, because

the court, waving towels and leaping back into the locker room.

The Grizzlies entered the NBA in 1995 as an expansion franchise in Vancouver. Six seasons there never ended in the postseason, and after moving to Memphis in 2001, the Grizzlies waited two seasons before the first of three consecutive first-round sweeps. The last was in 2006.

So playoff inexperienced are the Grizzlies that Hollins had never coached in the postseason before Sunday, and eight of his players lacked any playoff experience.

Not Battier. He was with the Grizzlies for all three of those playoff sweeps, making it somewhat fitting that it was his 3-pointer to seal the franchise’s first win.

“It was awesome. I’m really happy for the city,” Battier said. “Beale Street will be a fun place tonight. Most of these guys don’t know the history or the heartache that the city has gone through. I’m happy for the city.”

And his big shot?

“When you’re on the road, down two, may as well go for the 3,” he said.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich wasn’t in the mood to dissect it much, either.

“What do you want to know about it?” Popovich said. “It counted for three. He caught it. He shot it. And he made it.”

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 20 points. But San Antonio sorely missed his backcourt partner, Ginobili, who had

Yet between the 33-year-old practicing a day earlier and his teammates convinced he would play, seeing Ginobili in lineup wouldn’t have been much of a stretch.

Popovich wouldn’t speculate whether Ginobili might play in Game 2 on Wednesday. But after the Spurs lost their sixth consecutive playoff opener, Ginobili may no longer have such hard time convincing Popovich he’s ready.

The Spurs badly missed their second-leading scorer.

West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart. “I know the line is progressing. I like the way they’re competing. The guys are in the locker room helping each other out, and that’s great camaraderie.

The West Virginia women’s soccer team split its contests this weekend in the eighth Betty Puskar Breast Care Center Soccer Invitational.

WVU lost 2-1 to Tennessee before rebounding with a 1-0 shutout over Ohio, bringing the Mountaineers’ record to 3-2-2 this spring.

“Unfortunately, the best lessons in life are from big mistakes,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

“Spring is all about having those learning experiences.”

The tournament is held to raise funds to support breast cancer awareness, diagnosis and treatment efforts. However, because of inclement weather, there weren’t as many fans in the stands as the team would’ve liked.

The team will still present a check of the raised funds at a home match this fall. In the previous seven years the team has raised more than $60,000.

Tennessee coach Angela Kelly presented a check at the event to support the cause.

Senior-to-be and last year’s points leader Blake Miller scored both goals for WVU this weekend and now leads the team with three goals in the spring.

In the early game against the Bobcats, Miller took an indirect free kick from the top of the box and ripped it past the Ohio goalkeeper

near the right post.

The St. Louis native broke the scoreless tie in the 59th minute, and WVU goalkeeper Sara Keane helped preserve the win and earned her second shutout of the spring season.

“Obviously, what Blake does is score goals. I’m never satisfied with her performances, because I feel like she can push a little more,” Izzo-Brown said. “A leader puts the ball in the net and helps us win, and that’s what she did this weekend.”

The Mountaineers got off to a slow start in the late game against the Lady Vols.

After a pass intended for Keane was intercepted, Tennessee finished a one-onone opportunity in the 23rd minute.

Tennessee doubled its lead in the 68th minute after taking advantage of the Mountaineers defense which had pushed up field. A pass was sent over the top of the defensive line which led to a breakaway that a Tennessee forward put away.

WVU avoided the shutout when Miller intercepted a pass along the back line, took a couple dribbles and ripped it toward the near post and into the back of the net.

“You’re never satisfied or happy with a loss, but we needed to finish the opportunities we created while Tennessee finished the chances they had,” Izzo-Brown said. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

it seemed like each could be used in a different way.

It looks like the smaller running backs will get most of the carries in this offense, while the bigger backs, like Ryan Clarke and Matt Lindamood, will be more of a fullback-type player in this offense.

Overall, it’s hard to judge this offense when it was pouring rain. It’s wrong to call it a letdown.

It’s just too soon to judge an offense after its first scrimmage. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: Working late.

BORN TODAY This year, you might act, only to wonder later if there was a more effective path. Consider taming your innate enthusiasm. Taking your time to act on key decisions can only help, but it will demand unusual selfdiscipline. If you are single, you want what you want. Of course it is good to know what you want, but perhaps you could be stomping on a valid tie. If you are attached, realize the impact of your unusual strength this year. Remember that a relationship is a two-way street.

SCORPIO understands you better than you might like!

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Tap into your imagination if you are feeling frustrated or exhausted. Your ability to move through your emotions will help you. Realize what is happening within you. Do you feel negative? Tired?

Not cared about? Tonight: Have a little fun on the way home.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Don’t be surprised if you are tired. You have pushed and fought for certain key elements. Others play devil’s advocate; they like this role! Let these same people run with the ball while you worry about other matters. Tonight: Chat over munchies.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Understand the role of timing. Though you might be pushed to make a presentation or express your thoughts on an important matter, irritation keeps mounting within. There are simply days that are better than others. You are experiencing this now. Tonight: Listen to suggestions.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Maintain a more solid and direct pace.

You know what is possible, but are you prepared to go to battle? Others will not cave in to your ideas without some convincing. Honor someone’s suggestion.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Distraction occurs if you are having a disagreement or are too much in your head. Do be careful, knowing you might be accident-prone. You’ll find out how little control you have. Laugh and relax when dealing with a frustrating person.

Understand where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Let your mind roam.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You might see a problem arise financially.

By now, you could be an expert at handling money problems. Understanding evolves to a new level. See someone as realistically as possible. Make it OK not to agree. Use these differences positively. Tonight: Have an inevitable talk.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Try not to use negativity to restrict others. You might be making a judgment that is not valid for other people, though it could be for you. Note the power of positive thinking. Tonight: Go over your budget.

Pay bills.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You’ll strengthen your position through leadership, charisma and communication. You wonder how anyone can say no to you. Just watch and maintain a

sense of humor. Take criticism with a grain of salt. Tonight: What would make you smile?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You could be exhausted. Do stop and look to see if this fatigue could be taking its toll on you. You might need to take steps to recycle, whether it is taking part of the day off or changing your plans. Tonight: Make yourself primary.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Zero in on what you need, and ask for support. You might keep finding yourself among a crowd of friends or associates. Listen and see where a boss or respected leader is coming from. Rethink your position. Tonight: Whether it’s pushing the broom or taking a walk, get some exercise.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Others make demands, and you need to make a statement about what you think. Many people look to you for leadership. Make an effort to learn more and expand your intellectual perspective.

Tonight: You could go till the wee hours.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Push to gain a different perspective.

Don’t get locked in a struggle of wills that could be unusually difficult. The only way out is to clear out your present thinking and find a new route. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Battle OF THE BANDS

Local acts compete for $1,000 and title of Best Band tonight at ’Lair by alex mcpherson a&e writer

It’s a battle royale, and you’re invited.

For the second year running, West Virginia University Events and Coca-Cola are hosting a Battle of the Bands.

The winning group will receive $1,000 and second place will win $250.

Rewards are provided by The Ridge Apartments.

Special Events Coordinator Erin Blake said WVU Events wanted to showcase local talent and bring the community together in forming the competition.

“We’re always trying to find different ways to get the students out there and let them show us what they can do,” Blake

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

said. “It’s something we hadn’t tried before, so we decided to try it with bands.”

Bands were chosen by a panel of musically knowledgeable students and faculty by submissions of CDs, website and Myspace songs or live performances.

Each band will have 20 minutes to show the audience what they’re made of and perform three songs, only one of which can be a cover.

The event is set for 8 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms and is free for the public. Of the 12 bands in consideration, five were chosen to compete for the title of the Best Band.

Let’s meet the bands:

Band: Looking Down the Cross Genre: Hybrid metal/hardcore Established: 2006 Influences: Classic rock/metal, Metallica, Lamb of God Song to Listen for: “Don’t Hassel the Hoff” Looking Down the Cross has developed into a full-fledged metal machine. Having competed in two other Battles, this will be its first attempt at the WVU competition. “Don’t Hassel the Hoff” is a band favorite, and the group hopes it will also be a crowd favorite.

“We did some work with it in the studio and added some orchestra parts to it,” said vocalist Jordan Glover. “It’s my favorite, and I hope the audience members and the judges will like it, too.”

submitted

Band: Room 217 Genre: Modern acoustic pop blues Established: 2010 Influences: Pop Radio Song to Listen for: “Superstition” (Stevie Wonder cover) Starting out as a band in the honors dorm talent shows, Room 217 got together this past December. But it’s not going to let experience hold it back, and the group intends to bring the noise against the big boys.

Room 217 has built up quite a collection of covers and will be performing Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” tonight, but said they have a unique sound despite covering others’ work.

“We’re definitely a different style than any of the bands. If you’re looking for diversity in music for the Battle, you should come out and see us,” said pianist and rhythm guitarist Michael Neimann.

Back

Everyone leaving the theater will find themselves whistling the creepy tune found in “The Devil is in the Details,” as its addition is unforgettable.

“Hanna’s Theme” itself is an incredible representation of the childlike marvel Hanna encapsulates, as well as the serenity she finds at times in her journey.

It’s no wonder why every movie poster had “Chemical Brothers” plastered across it.

Without the sound track the entire film would be changed as it’s the music and the filming that take precedence over even the acting, (although the acting itself is phenomenal, as well.)

Blanchett strikes fear as the merciless agent Viegler who has no concern for anyone, least of all Hanna. Her southern accent is nothing but evil as her part becomes reminiscent of a more serious version of Sigourney Weaver (“Alien,” “Avatar”) in “Holes.”

Ronan performs magnificently, depicting not only a cold and calculated killer, but a child filled with wonderment, and very occasionally fear.

Overloaded by all of the new sights and sounds after being cooped up in the wilderness, her adaptation to the outside world is both memorable and believable.

Bana is the only casting letdown, as his father figure image is a little wooden, and he is unable to convince audiences he actually loves Hanna.

While this portrayal is infinitely less creepy than the father/daughter relationship in “Kick-Ass,” there isn’t as much true compassion, and

Band: Square the Circle Genre: Rock Established: 2007 Influences: Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains Song to Listen for: “Broken Record” Hailing from a collection of Morgantown-based bands, the boys of Square the Circle have been playing individually for about 12 years. Now the super-group intends to teach these new kids what’s what. “We have a lot more experience, some professionalism and really good musicianship,” said bassist Jordan Wean. “I think we bring an extra level of experience. It’s going to be a rocking show.”

FACEBOOK

Band: A Million Pieces Genre:Metal/soul Established: 2007 Influences: Classical, The Doors, Underoath, Killswitch Engage Song to Listen for: “All the King’s Horses”

It’s The State’s first time out in a while, and the band is looking to make it count. Aiming for alternative rock, The State has created an experience of epic proportions. Vocalist Brett Carpenter said the event will be a new experience for the band and the audience. “We’re really stoked on the whole set. It’s going to be the first time the crowd has heard these songs, and I think people will be into the originals,” Carpenter said. “It’s an event to see new music and support university-based bands. We’re going to bring the rock ‘n’ roll.”

the parts featuring the acting of Bana are decidedly the weakest.

With most action scenes turning into a chase scene, the directing does very well to emulate the urgency of the chase while depicting Hanna’s stealthiness, making her impossible to capture.

The best choice “Hanna” makes is to stray away from a convoluted story line.

Using a story that could easily be packed into a paragraph or two, the film instead relies on its visuals, sounds and actions to make up the meat of the movie. Because of this the Saoirse Ronan looks into the distance in the film, ‘Hanna.’ audience isn’t caught contemplating what’s going on, and instead is left to absorb the film as a whole.

“Hanna” won’t be for everyone, as its art-film leanings may make it too slow for many, but for those willing to give it the time, it’s a remarkable journey they won’t soon forget.

Starting as freshmen roommates and picking up a player from group The Gentlemen, A Million Pieces built up the fun as it built its fanbase. Not making the cut last year, the band is back to show Morgantown what it can really do.

The group said it’s excited to play its original track “All the King’s Horses” for tonight’s crowd.

“It has heavier elements, but we can make people move with it,” said vocalist Ty Thorngate. “I feel like it’ll be a real crowd-pleaser, and I’m really excited to see how the crowd reacts.”

Man behind Elmo tickles audience by david ryan A&E editor

As soon as Kevin Clash began to unpack Elmo from a leather carrying bag, the wheels in the mind of an innocent young girl began whirring.

During a question-and-answer session Friday at the Metropolitan Theatre, a young member of the audience had a question: “How does Elmo breathe in the bag?”

Clash, who has performed as the furry red favorite of “Sesame Street” since 1985, called the girl onstage to meet her idol.

“Elmo’s a monster, so it’s okay,” Elmo told the girl, shushing the disbelievers in the audience. “Monsters can breathe in anything.”

That question comes up a lot, he said.

“I travel with Elmo because he’s fortunately not Big Bird,” he said.

Airport security has picked him out before because of his precious cargo.

“They pick it up by the eye, and I would say ‘be careful, it’s Elmo,’

and then they would be sacred,” he said. “It’s like it becomes their own child.”

That appeal of Elmo and “Sesame Street” is special, he said.

The show is currently in its 42nd season.

“It connects to the whole family,” he said. “It touches like no other children’s program has ever done,” he said.

Clash attributed the success to the ethos behind the “Sesame Street” production team: to give every child the love, respect and teaching they should have.

“No child should ever be deprived,” he said.

Elmo’s reach goes beyond just teaching kids the alphabet.

One resident, whose daughter has down syndrome and autism, said Elmo is a great tool for helping her learn. Earlier in the day, Elmo even gave her a call.

“Maddie, you came to the concert,” Elmo said. “That’s so cool.” Later in the evening Maddie received a special rendition of the song “Elmo’s World” with lyrics changed to “Maddie’s World.”

The session was sponsored by the Dan and Betsy Brown Lecture

“

“How can we be more like Elmo?” an audience member asked. “Love,” he said.

Series and the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts.

The series rotates between colleges at WVU, with each college inviting a distinct and unique speaker to campus.

Clash’s appearance tied with WVU’s Puppetry/Creative Dramatics program, one of only three in the country.

“As an artist, Mr. Clash speaks to us through his creations,” said Bernie Schultz, dean of the College of Creative Arts. “While they entertain us, his message also strives at the fundamental reality that art is the most powerful and, indeed, profound form of human communication.”

Among his credits include the “Muppets” movies, “Captain Kangaroo” and the first two liveaction “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” in which he also voiced Splinter.

Clash was recently featured in the documentary “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey” and has also written a book, “My Life As a Furry Red Monster.”

“I wish that I could have a plane to whisk you all there to ‘Sesame Street’ to feel all the joy and the love and energy you feel when you walk onto the set,” he said.

To the crowd’s delight, Elmo answered other questions including who was his best friend.

“Dorothy,” he said, referring to his pet fish. “Big Bird helps Elmo climb up real high because Elmo is very short. And Ricky Gervais.

In that order.”

Gervais and Elmo went at it in 2010 when the two sparred back-and-forth in an unsual, adult tone. When asked whether or not Dorothy was real, Elmo fired back.

“What are you trying to say?”

Elmo asked. “Let me put it this way, ‘Is Elmo real?’” he said. “Yes, Dorothy is definitely real. All of the Dorothys were definitely real.”

‘Scream 4’ delivers scares, maintains original quality Jesse tabit A&E writer

I wouldn’t hesitate to say “Scream 4”is the best entry in the series since the first “Scream.”

The remake knows it shouldn’t mess with the original, and it smoothly incorporates the trademark satire and clever horror plot into the modern age.

Set 10 years after the Woodsboro murders, “Scream 4” re-introduces Sidney (Neve Campbell), a woman whose violent past has caused a lengthy

recovery and the publishing of a self-help book.

After her book tour, Sidney returns to her hometown to reunite not only with old friends, but something she thought she had escaped years ago: Ghostface.

New players Jill (Emma Roberts), her friend Kirby (Hayden Panettiere) and Charlie (Rory Culkin) enter the deadly game, and original players Gale (Courtney Cox), Dewey (David Arquette) and Sidney return.

Cameo appearances include Anna Paquin (“True Blood”) and Kristen Bell (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) this time around, and their screen time is short but very entertaining.

An opening that surpasses its predecessors sets the tone of the film perfectly. It’s layered, funny, clever and mocks those horror flicks that have too many sequels for their own good.

As the film progresses, there are plenty of instances that leave the killer’s identity ambiguous.

Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson have not lost their touch and you don’t have to see any other “Scream” films to understand what this one is all about, (although I strongly recommend seeing them.)

The filmmakers don’t waste any time retreading ground, but instead reinvent it with modern

technology, like social networking and iPhone applications that allow for streaming video.

The murders that take place in this film are as gruesome and brutal as ever. The film also does a good job incorporating jump scares.

Since the viewer is questioning everyone, the reveal of the killer’s identity may not be as “surprising” as you had hoped for, but the film takes an interesting turn in its third act and follows the killer after the “job” has been completed.

We see just how far the killer is willing to go to finish a goal and that is just one aspect of how “Scream 4” differentiates itself from its predecessors.

The only problems I found with this entry are its lengthy runtime and characters who are extensively wounded doing things they should not be able to do.

But do not let that dissuade you, horror fans. “Scream 4” stays true to its tagline: “New Decade. New Rules.” and is an entertaining, twisted thrill ride.

The series could easily see another entry and, luckily, Craven makes up for his last mistake as a director, “My Soul to Take.”

focus features

the venomous CIA agent Cate Blanchett (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”).

Raised from birth in the Finnish woods, Hanna has been trained to be a coldblooded killer.

The film opens with a chilling sequence portraying Hanna hunting down a deer with an arrow.

As the deer collapses onto the sheet of ice, arrow protruding from its chest, Hanna pulls out a pistol and points it squarely at the deer’s head remarking “I just missed your heart.”

Bang.

More than anything, Hanna is an art film masquerading as a box-office contender. The powerful scenery coupled with the outstanding sound track puts audiences in a trance as they watch Hanna’s journey to discover not only the relationship between her father and the CIA’s Marissa Viegler (Blanchett), but who she is herself.

What some viewers will find as a lack of action, others will enjoy as a collage of color and sound.

As shots slowly pan across the scenery, the Chemical Brothers’ sound track fills the frame with its energy and occasional ambiance.
