City Council discusses future budget by carlee lammers staff writer
Members of the Morgantown City Council discussed several potential budget cuts to local improvement projects during its first reading of an ordinance adopting the budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year. The council discussed changes in the city’s $24 million budget, including cuts made to Sunnyside Up, the Campus Neighborhoods Revitalization
Corporation, the city arts council and a sidewalk gum removal machine. The council hopes to collectively save $51,000 through these amendments. “I see it as not saving $51,000, but taking $51,00 from projects I feel are meritorious,” said sixth ward councilor Bill Byrne. The council proposed a $25,000 cut to Sunnyside Up, which is dedicated to revitalizing the student off-campus residential area. Byrne said funding for Sunny-
side Up is a partnership between the City of Morgantown and West Virginia University, and the school matches the city’s annual contribution dollar-for-dollar. “If it wasn’t for the collaboration between the University and the city and their commitment to revitalization, the project wouldn’t happen,” Byrne said. “I see it as a lack of good policy if we cut an area we all recognize as very important.” Mayor Jim Manilla said he believes cuts to the Sunnyside
Up budget are necessary, and the money saved could be invested in organizations such as Main Street Morgantown, which is designed to improve the downtown Morgantown community, which faced various budget cuts in the previous fiscal year. “I’m not against Sunnyside Up,” he said. “ I just think that it could do a little bit better as to how they get their revenue and do it just like Main Street does. Main Street is struggling – they

Jenny Selin, fourth ward councilor, said she believes the council should be more conscious of the budget cuts and amendments being implemented. “If we want to make cuts we

Office of Sustainability conducts waste audit in dining halls by carlee lammers staff writer
The West Virginia University Office of Sustainability is conducting a week-long waste audit across dining halls on campus to measure the recyclables generated at the University. “We’re trying to quantify a productive use capacity of waste materials produced in the dining halls,” said Office of Sustainability Intern Dan Bissinger. Bins labeled “compostable” and “landfill” will be placed in each dining hall, and volunteers will aid
students in placing their waste in the appropriate containers. Dining service employees will then weigh each individual bag of waste generated and document the numbers. The information recorded from the audit will aid the Office of Sustainability in finding an effective waste diversion method to implement on campus. Future revisions could include the elimination of certain materials, prepared foods and the gradual removal of trays,

The West Virginia University School of Dentistry raised “Pennies for Pins” in its local bowling fundraiser Tuesday to benefit nonprofit dental clinics in the state. Danielle Bishop, a third year dental student and coordinator for the event, said the event is an opportunity for students to perform community outreach, and impact other parts of the state. “I think it’s good for us to do events like this and bring money to clinics in the state,” she said. “Often people come here, and there aren’t a lot
of opportunities in our state, so this event helps to build more connections in areas and places that are in need.” Individuals are asked to pay $10 to bowl, Bishop said, and all proceeds from the event are divided between the only three nonprofit dental clinics in West Virginia, which include the Susan Dew Hoff Memorial Clinic in West Milford, Ebenezer Medical Outreach Clinic in Huntington and the West Virginia Health Right in Charleston. “The reason we chose these clinics is because they are not government aided, so they’re funded primar-

West Virginia University alumnus Jason Siniscalchi has created three free applications for the Apple iPhone designed to bring users closer to nature. The apps, Tree ID, Garden ID and Fish ID are e-reference guides, Siniscalchi said. “The apps started with Tree ID, which I attempted to start while working on my doctorate at WVU. To clearnews my head during the dissertation process in 2004 I would often go to the Arboretum,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed the restorative benefits of being outdoors, and as a Forest Resources Ph.D., I felt I should be familiar with as many trees as possible.” Siniscalchi said Tree ID, when the new update goes through Apple, will have more than 600 trees across North America and allows users to search by tree characteristics, name, location or binomial key. “I like technology and found using tree guides to be bulky, so I began to compile a database of tree characteristics and photos to attempt to make a tree identification app,” he said. Siniscalchi used the startup company, MEDL Mobile, to get started. “Having started my app years earlier and noting there was no comprehensive tree
guide for the iPhone at that time, I thought MEDL might be interested,” he said. “Out of thousands of submissions they selected Tree ID as one of seven to develop.” Tree ID was in the top 100 reference apps downloaded within its first few months and reached the top 25 in the U.S. and 12 in Canada. Siniscalchi said the success of Tree ID led to MEDL Mobile asking him to create Garden ID and Fish ID. Garden ID is an app that teaches users about more than 70 different vegetables and herbs and provides users with tips about growing and harvesting crops. “Garden ID uses frost and freeze dates and a user’s current location to determine when he or she should plant,” he said. Fish ID is the most recent app developed and includes information about more than 200 freshwater fish including characteristics, habitat, location and name. “I put a lot of time into each. Seeing them as real, working apps is very fulfilling. I also enjoy seeing how my apps are helping others enjoy the outdoors,” he said. “There is always a way to make a dream happen of you put the time and effort in.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

The Betty Puskar Breast Care Center at West Virginia University’s Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center has begun offering same-day screening results for mammograms. Patients can receive a mammogram at the Breast Care Center from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and learn the results of the test that same day. “We know it is a worry for women to go home and wait for their results,” said Barb Menear, manager of the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. “By providing same day results while they are in our facility we can alleviate some of that anxiety.” Menear said one of the biggest advantages of same-day mammogram results is being able to detect breath cancer quicker and begin treatment as soon as possible. “Mammography can detect breast cancer much earlier than it can be felt either on self-breast exams or clinical breast exams by the patient’s physician,” she said.
“Early detection means earlier treatment.” Another advantage of sameday screening is being able to perform any extra tests that may be needed, such as additional mammography views or an ultrasound, on the same day as the screening, Menear said. “If a woman needs further work of an area seen on her screening mammogram we strive to take care of it while she is there,” she said. “After review of this additional imaging the patient can be told to return in a year for her annual mammogram or if she should need a biopsy, we can set her up with a date or time prior to her leaving our facility. This takes the anxiety out of waiting for the result.” Menear said a combination of mammogram screenings, self-breast exams, and physician breast exams are the most effective way to catch cancer before it’s too late. “There is a small percentage of breast cancers that are not detectable via mammography,” she said.

Extended Learning event to showcase summer courses by joann snoderly correspondent
Students interested in taking summer courses at West Virginia University are invited to stop by the “Summer Fair in the Lair” Wednesday or Thursday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Representatives from WVU’s various colleges will be at the event to present the courses they are offering in the 2012
summer session. Tammy Bishoff, a program coordinator for WVU Extended Learning, said the fair is an opportunity for students to learn more about courses they are interested in. “It gives students a chance to ask people from the actual department if they have questions about a class,” she said. “Sometimes the title may not be inclusive. You don’t know that you’ll
be learning something interesting or that you’ll get to do certain activities from the course descriptions.” The event will also give students an opportunity to learn about unique course offerings not available in the fall and spring semesters. These courses include Native American studies courses with trips to Alaska or North Carolina, as well as a religious stud-
ies course that will visit Amish country, said Lynn Reinke, the director of communications for extended learning. For students who will be traveling over the summer, the event will also feature some of the online courses offered by WVU over the summer, she said. “There are nearly 400 online courses, so if students are traveling, they can still take courses, or students who are going home
for the summer can avoid the hassle of taking classes at home and transferring them back,” Reinke said. WVU offers a flexible 12week summer course schedule. Classes running nine weeks, six weeks or even three weeks make it easier to pick a course that fits into busy summer schedules, Reinke said. More than 11,000 students enrolled in summer classes at
WVU in 2011, taking advantage of the benefits of summer courses, Bishoff said. “You can get ahead on coursework, concentrate on tougher courses, or work on your GPA,” she said. “We’ve found a lot of students take summer courses because they have to maintain a certain level of hours to retain scholarships.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

ily through donations and things like that, so doctors in the area and throughout the state volunteer their time to help,” Bishop said. The event took place at Suburban L a n e s, which loaned its facilities to the school for free to host the fundraiser, Bishop said. The school’s class of 2013 hosted a similar fundraiser in the fall of 2010 and raised $5,400, she said. “Everybody can participate as much or as little as they want,” Bishop said. “They can get their own pledges, and have people pledge to con-
tribute 25 cents, or a dollar. The last time we did it, people got there and they realized what it was for, and often they start calling their family and friends and asking them to donate.” Bishop said the event expects anywhere from 125 to 150 dentistry students, and she hopes for an even greater fundraising effort than in 2010. “In our last event, one of our fellow students alone personally raised over $1,000 just by hims elf,” she said. “He was able to get sponsors through Facebook and other social media.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 1 Bessinger said. “We’re trying to divert the waste to avoid all the implications of excessive landfill waste,” he said. “The University has a good recycling program, and we’re trying to take advantage of it.” Clement Solomon, director of the Office of Sustainability, said food waste has the potential to be placed back into production rather than be placed into a landfill. “Particular food waste can be put back into production, so we’re looking at strategies such as composting. First, our starting point is looking at how much is generated and then looking at a sensible solution,” Solomon said. The Office of Sustainability hopes to use the precise numerical data to quantity preconsumer and post-consumer organic materials and recyclables to justify the need for a biodigester on campus.

Stalnaker Hall Student Manager Quinn Kingsberry said he hopes the audit’s efforts will also allow the facility to cut back financially while at the same time making environmentally conscious decisions. “I’m totally for a global economy and going green, so hopefully this will allow us to save money and cut back too,” Kingsberry said. Solomon said the audit is a partnership with various organizations across campus including the Davis College of Agriculture, Dining Services and the Center for Civic Engagement. “We’re looking at it not only from an operational standpoint, but we can look at it as
a co-curricular initiative,” Solomon said. Solomon said he was impressed by the “massive student leadership efforts” in the process and the desire to increase a sustainable awareness. Hunter Buterbaugh, a freshman physical therapy student, said he was pleasantly surprised at the food waste generated in the dining hall in the short time he served as a volunteer. “I’ve been here for two hours, and I’ve seen just how much food is being wasted that could be put back into better use,” Buterbaugh said. “Some people come up with full trays of food and just throw it away.” Volunteers are still needed to serve in Boreman, Stalnaker, Summit and Arnold Halls, as well as the Towers Residence Complex through Friday.

Report: MSHA missed problems at doomed W.Va. mine (AP) — Federal inspectors either missed problems at West Virginia’s Upper Big Branch mine or failed to inspect the areas where they existed in the 18 months before a deadly 2010 explosion, but an internal review concludes there’s no evidence those failures caused the disaster. The Mine Safety and Health Administration posted the report online Tuesday after briefing relatives of the 29 miners killed in the nation’s worst coal mining disaster in four decades. The report acknowledges multiple failures by field staff in MSHA’s largest region, southern West Virginia’s District 4. It also said their effectiveness was compromised by internal communication problems and by federal budget cuts that had created staffing shortages, inexperience and a lack of sufficient training and managerial oversight. Although MSHA has made significant improvements in the past two years, the report said it’s not enough and contains about 20 pages of detailed, technical recommendations for
regulatory and administrative changes. “More must be done to protect the health and safety of the nation’s miners,” it said. MSHA director Joe Main said he takes the findings seriously and praised the review team for identifying systemic breakdowns. “We can’t just do internal reviews. We have to fix the problems,” he said. “We take responsibility for the agency’s actions here. We have an obligation to fix these things, and yes, we’re going to do that.” Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in the blast, said he would take some satisfaction in hearing Main and other MSHA officials accept responsibility, “as long as they do their part and make sure this don’t happen again.” Quarles said many people at the private meeting told regulators they were as much to blame as the former mine operator, Massey Energy. “And they sat there and took it. They never said they weren’t at fault,” he said. “More or less, they was taking blame. I don’t see how they could have kept
from it.” While the report focuses on systemic failures, Main said he will review whether administrative actions should also be taken against individuals. But he said blame for the disaster continues to rest squarely with Massey, bought last summer by Virginia-based Alpha Natural Resources. Four investigations have concluded the blast was sparked by worn and broken equipment, fueled by a deadly buildup of methane and coal dust, and allowed to spread because of clogged and broken water sprayers. MSHA investigators found Massey made “systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts” to hide problems and throw off inspectors, even falsifying safety records. Managers also alerted miners when inspectors arrived, allowing time to disguise or temporarily fix dangerous conditions. The former superintendent has been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and is cooperating in a Department of Justice investigation. A former security chief, meanwhile, has
been sentenced to three years in prison for lying to investigators and attempting to destroy records. The internal review said MSHA inspectors consistently failed to identify problems with accumulations of explosive coal dust and deviations from ventilation and roof control plans. It also said they failed to use the operator’s examination books to determine whether hazards had been corrected. It noted those inspectors failed to identify 10 safety violations that MSHA’s accident investigation team later determined had contributed to the blast. In some cases, they didn’t recognize hazards, the report said. In others, they just didn’t inspect the areas where they existed. Although inspectors wrote a total of 684 violations in the 18 months before the blast, the report said they failed to act on eight that could have been deemed “flagrant,” the most serious designation. They also failed to conduct special investigations on at least six occasions to determine whether managers knowingly violated
safety standards. The report, conducted by MSHA employees outside District 4, found that “inadequate direction training and supervision” was as much a problem as inexperienced inspectors. But it tempered the criticism, noting that MSHA’s messages were not communicated consistently, resulting in “unclear, redundant and conflicting instructions” to inspectors. Main, who took over the agency in October 2009, said MSHA had a centralized process for communicating policies until 2002. It is now virtually impossible for field staff to know about the 199 policies the agency has adopted since 2004, he said. “There was an overload, to a certain extent,” Main said. “Depending on when you were hired and where you were trained, you may or may not have received some of those instructions.” MSHA is currently rewriting its inspector manual, consolidating and clarifying the policies. It’s also overhauling its training programs. At more than 200 pages,
plus appendices, the internal review is more comprehensive than similar agency appraisals done after five mine disasters since 2001. As in this one, each review concluded that MSHA employees had done incomplete or inadequate inspections, that inspectors had inadequate supervision and direction, and that inspectors failed to identify the mine operator’s deviation from approved mining plans. “There’s a lot of things in this report that goes deep into the weeds to figure out what the problems are and how to fix it, so it looks worse than other internal reviews,” Main said. “But this is something we needed to do.” Cecil Roberts, president of the United Mine Workers of America, said he’s encouraged that Main has identified what needs to be done and is on the right path. “There is clearly much work to do in order to bring the agency up to the standards miners have a right to expect,” he said. “... The UMWA stands ready to do all we can to help in that effort.”

Dow Jones falls more than 200, interrupting 2012 rally (AP) — Stocks suffered their biggest losses in three months Tuesday, the first hiccup in a strong and steady rally to start the year. Wall Street worried about the global economy and waited while Greece pressured the last investors to sign on for its bailout. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points, giving up more than a quarter of its 745-point advance since Jan. 1, the best start to a year in the U.S. market since 1998. The sell-off, which spread west from Europe, also interrupted a period of unusual calm on Wall Street. Before Tuesday, the Dow had not fallen 100 points for 45 straight trading sessions, the longest streak since 2006. The decline of 203.66 points was the worst for the Dow since Nov. 23 and left the average at 12,759.15. It was only last week that the Dow closed above 13,000 for the first time since May 2008, four months before the worst of the financial crisis. “When things go straight up and don’t ever correct or have some sort of normal pullback, as an investor, that makes me nervous,” said Ed Hyland, a global investment specialist with J.P. Morgan Private Bank. The gradual rally had been powered by optimism about the U.S. economic recovery. But investors realized that Greece’s debt problems, Europe’s economic problems and Israel’s Iran problems were still very much their problems, too. Stocks fell sharply from the opening bell and never mounted a serious comeback. The Dow was down as much as 227 points. All but one of the 30 stocks in the average finished the day lower. Intel managed a gain of 7 cents. All 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 declined. Bank stocks, which typically take a hit when there is any reason to worry about Greece, led the declines, followed by industrial and materials companies, which depend on strength in the world economy. Alcoa, which makes aluminum and depends heavily on world economic demand, fell 4.1 percent, the worst of the Dow 30. China revised its projection for economic growth on Monday to 7.5 percent this year, down from 8 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 20.97 points, its worst decline since Dec. 8, to 1,343.36. The S&P had not declined 1 percent or more for 45 straight trading days, also the longest streak since 2006. That year, the S&P put together 94 in a row. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 40.16 points to 2,910.32. The Nasdaq last week broke through 3,000 for the first time since December 2000, during the collapse in dot-com stocks. Last year, sell-offs like this were much more common. The S&P fell by at least 1 percent on 48 trading days, roughly one in every five.

Stocks fell more than 3 percent Tuesday in Germany, Spain and France, and 1.9 percent in Britain. Greece stepped up pressure on private investors to swap their Greek government bonds for replacements with a lower face value and interest rate. Major banks and investment funds have signed on for the swap, but it remains unclear whether hedge funds, which had already bought the bonds at a steep discount and may profit from bond insurance payouts if Greece defaults, will agree. The deadline is Thursday. The swap is vital for Greece to cut its debt and get a bailout of €130 billion, or $172 billion, from other countries and the International Monetary Fund. Without the bailout, Greece could default on its debt later this month and rattle markets around the world. Bill Stone, chief investment strategist for PNC Wealth Management, called Tuesday’s decline “fairly rational,” considering how much the market has climbed and the economic worries in Greece and the rest of Europe. “You need the pullback to give people opportunities to
want to get involved again,” Stone said. The price of oil slipped $2.02 to $104.70 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. New York crude has risen from $96 last month amid fears of a disruption in global oil supplies driven by the potential for military conflict with Iran. President Barack Obama said diplomacy can still resolve the crisis over Iran’s possible pursuit of nuclear weapons and accused his Republican critics of “beating the drums of war.” Iran dominated Obama’s first news conference of the year. The price of gold fell $31.80 per ounce, or 2.1 percent, to $1,672.10 per ounce. Silver, platinum and copper all fell more than 2 percent because of concerns about Europe and weaker economic demand in China. “Global growth fears now are hitting home, and we’re seeing selling across the board,” said Matt Zeman, a market analyst for Kingsview Financial. Yields on U.S. government debt also fell as investors moved their money into what they perceive to be a safer asset. The yield on the benchmark 10year Treasury note fell to 1.96 percent from 2.01 percent late Monday. Bond yields fall when their prices rise.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — In the last two days of his life, Tyler Clementi visited his roommate’s Twitter page 38 times and saved screen shots of two messages posted there. One proclaimed that the roommate saw Clementi “making out with a dude.” The other “dared” friends to use a web chat program to watch later. Jurors learned those details Tuesday during the testimony of Gary Charydczak, a detective in the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office who testified in the roommate’s criminal trial. The detective said he learned about Clementi’s computer use from examining the hard drive of the blue laptop that was found in his Rutgers University dorm room. He displayed the Tweets that he said were saved to Clementi’s hard drive under the names “untitled.jpg” and “secondtime.jpg.” Twenty-year-old Dharun Ravi faces 15 counts including bias intimidation and invasion of privacy against Clementi, who jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 22, 2010, one
day after authorities say Ravi attempted to spy on him. Prosecutors say Ravi used Twitter first to tell followers that he had seen his roommate “making out with a dude” on Sept. 19, and two days later to “dare” them to video chat him when Clementi had again asked to have the room to himself so he could have a guest over. Charydczak also testified that Ravi later changed the “dare” tweet, instead telling friends, “Don’t you dare.” That alleged change is the basis of a charge that Ravi tried to hinder apprehension. Authorities say Ravi told friends about the expected dorm-room liaison through other means, including text messages. During testimony Monday, jurors were shown texts he sent to a friend from high school who was then attending Cornell University. In one part of the exchange, the friend, Michelle Huang, texted Ravi: “Watch out, he may come for you when you’re sleeping.” Ravi responded that he had his computer set to alert him if anyone was in his bed when he wasn’t there. “It keeps the

gays away,” he said. The exchange may help prosecutors show that Ravi had malice toward gays — a necessary element to persuade jurors to convict Ravi on the bias intimidation charges he faces. But he and his friend went on to talk about some of their gay friends. On Tuesday, Charydczak told jurors that Ravi’s computer showed that the defendant did several Internet searches for Clementi in August after learning the two would be roommates. He said Ravi also did several searches for “gay” and “homosexual,” but said he could not determine when those searches were conducted.

Mammograms save women’s lives The best way to fight breast cancer is through early detection. The Betty Puskar Breast Care Center at West Virginia University has begun to offer sameday results for mammograms. Women can come to the breast cancer center Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. for exams. Mammograms are a special type of X-ray that can detect tumors before they are large enough to be felt. Women over the age of 40 are
encouraged to have a screening annually. Those who have a family history of breast cancer are especially encouraged to have the exams. Women who have a first-degree relative (mother, sister or daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer have twice the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. About 15 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family member with the disease as well. Although death rates from
breast cancer have been on the decline in the past 20 years, there was an estimated 39,520 deaths from breast cancer in 2011. The only way to continue that decline is through research and early detection. While most West Virginia University students are not of the age when breast cancer is most prevalent, young women should still have occasional mammograms. Furthermore, students should encourage relatives to have a mammogram done, if they haven’t yet
already. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. No matter how old you are or where you come from, you have a chance of being diagnosed with the deadly disease The procedure saves lives everyday and the next one could be your mother or sister’s. The Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Care Center, which was recently named a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology, allows women to take proactive measures against cancer.
Prior to the same-day screenings, women would have to wait for days for the results, which can be a stressful situation. Now that women can come to the Breast Care Center and get a screening and the results before they leave the building, it makes the entire process much easier and less stressful. Make sure to spread the word to your entire family about the new screenings, it could save a life.

Israel is strong enough to fight its own battles Robert Davis columnist
Last Monday, President Obama made a joint appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. With the looming possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran in response to its nuclear program, the United States’ potential role in such an event was the underlying theme of the meeting. “We all know it is unacceptable from Israel’s point of view to have a country with a nuclear weapon that has called for the destruction of Israel,” Obama said at a press conference prior to the meeting. He also pointed out that “all options are on the table” for the United States when it came to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. With Israel’s finger growing tighter on the trigger, Obama’s hint at a willingness to support a military strike serves as an incentive for Israel to launch a pre-mature attack on Iran. There is no solid evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapon, and an attack on suspected weapons facilities would likely have many negative outcomes. For instance, the increased instability in the region would cause world oil prices to skyrocket, add further stress to recovering Arab Spring countries, and galvanize the jihadist groups in the area. Additionally, it is unlikely that an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear assets would have any lasting effect at all. An unsuccessful attack would only serve as motivation for Iran to speed up efforts to develop a nuclear weapon. A preventive attack by Israel would bear no resemblance to the precise 1981 strike on Iraq’s Osirak reactor or its 2007 strike on an unfinished Syrian reactor. Iran’s most crucial facilities are believed to have been built underground and a strike by the U.S. would only delay the country’s efforts to build a nuclear weapon by a couple of years, at best. Let us also not forget the two already existing wars that are finally beginning to wind down and the toll they have

Do the American people really want to get involved in another conflict in the Middle East right now? Obama stressed that he prefers a diplomatic solution, but his Israeli counterpart doesn’t seem to share his patience. The thing that scares me the most is that all this warmongering and propaganda is disturbingly similar to a certain nine year war that our fragile economy is just now recovering from. In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq under the vague assump-
tion that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Since it was discovered that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and the Bush administration had no solid ground to launch the invasion in the first place, the Iraq War has become one of the greatest farces in American history. Yet, now the U.S. has shifted closer to waging war with Iran under the same premise. It is understood that Israel is a strategic ally to the U.S., but another useless war like our other campaigns in the Middle East could very well be the
straw that breaks the camel’s back. If Israel decides to declare war against Iran, it should do so without the assumption that the U.S. will bail them out. Obama must allow Israel to rely on its own military strength and only provide assistance as a last resort. Israel’s military is far superior to Iran’s in nearly every aspect. What Israel lacks in things like individual soldiers, it makes up for with its superior equipment. For instance, it is widely believed that Israel possess three
German-made Dolphin class submarines armed with nuclear warheads that can posthumously annihilate Iran even if it could succeed in wiping the Jewish state out. With a military budget nearly double that of Iran’s, I think Israel can protect itself for the time being. Although Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is often portrayed as a madman, surely he is rational enough to understand the concept of self-preservation. It is highly unlikely that even if Iran did possess nuclear weapons, he would be foolish
enough to deploy them against Israel considering the recoil it would draw from both Israel and the U.S. Waging any war is the last thing our government should be talking about right now. President Obama should be more careful when volunteering United States military support at a time when the American people neither want nor need another misadventure in the Middle East. Our country is being bled to death by these trillion-dollar wars, and we simply cannot afford to become entangled in another one.

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often feel at odds with others, even those with whom you have experienced great closeness. The issue is boundaries; however, this issue will seem less important in another year because of your attention to it now. If you are single, you might be fortunate enough to attract someone who has similar issues and is willing to look at them with you. Otherwise, you are on a dating roller coaster. If you are attached, your willingness to look within will encourage the same from your mate. This year could be fundamental to your life together. VIRGO often challenges and criticizes you. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You have a strong sense of direction, no matter which way you turn. Listen to your sixth sense with regard to money. Focus on the present, and maximize your financial security. Tonight: Clear out your desk or workspace. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH No one can deny your creativity when you decide to apply your focus and ingenuity to a situation. You can make the unworkable workable. Be sensitive to a situation where you suspect the other party might be out of sorts. You do not need an emotional collision. Tonight: Let your hair down. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Stay close to home, but be smart and don’t push your luck. You could be overly tired and dragging from recent pressures. Give yourself a break from whatever is
creating this stress. Tonight: Happy at home. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You might want to have a long-overdue conversation. Be careful, as one of you could be angrier than anticipated. If it is you, be sure to clear the air in a way that does not close down a conversation. Tonight: Make it easy. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You could decide that you would prefer to stand back and assess a situation from a distance. You have a strong sense of humor and enjoy yourself no matter what. Those you answer to clearly are favorably disposed toward you. The timing is right to make an important request or talk to these people. Tonight: Treat time. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Confusion surrounds a key person. If you overthink, you will not know which way to go. Be spontaneous, and you naturally will draw the results you want. Someone you care about lets you know that he or she would like to be around you. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HH Pull back some, and understand what is happening behind the scenes. Your sense of humor goes a long way toward resolving a problem, in that you detach and become less involved. Be careful when expressing your dismay. You will come off far more strongly than you think. Tonight: Vanish quickly! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Zero in on the basics during a meeting. You finally gain someone’s confidence,
and feel much better as a result. Be sensible when dealing with an angry or upset person. This person might not be able to contain him- or herself. Tonight: Where the fun is. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Stay on top of your responsibilities. Though much could be happening around you, be sure to keep your plans and schedule intact. You have enough energy to squeeze in an extra event with a friend. Worry less. Tonight: Know when to call it a day. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Your ability to detach and see what others refuse to see earmarks your abilities, especially today. Creativity seems to flow naturally between you and others. A mere suggestion could trigger a great idea. Tonight: Where the fun is. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You might be dealing with one person after another. Everyone has something he or she needs your opinion on. Your nature is unusually giving, especially now. Still, do not toss your plans down the drain. Tonight: Dinner for two. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You need to sort through what you must do, as opposed to what you want to accomplish. Others need your input and could be quite demanding. Trust your judgments with a key person. Tonight: Hang out with a lively friend.

BATTLE AT THE GARDEN
Senior forward Kevin Jones, who received Third team all-America honors by Sporting News Tuesday, will lead the No. 8 seeded Mountaineers against UConn in the Big East tournament today.

West Virginia to take on Connecticut in second round of the Big East tournament By John Terry Managing Editor
The West Virginia men’s basketball team will open in its final Big East Conference tournament at Madison Square Garden against Connecticut at noon today. The Mountaineers earned a first-round bye and the No. 8 seed on the final day of the regular season, while No. 9-seeded Connecticut defeated DePaul 81-67, Tuesday in the first round to advance.
“You have mixed feelings about it,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Sometimes you get the jitters out the first game. But (the bye) helps you in the long run if you can beat UConn and Syracuse.” West Virginia received a first-round bye in last year’s Big East tournament but fell to Marquette in the first game. West Virginia senior forward Kevin Jones, who leads the team with 20 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, said
he was surprised his team was able to get a first-round bye after losing seven of its last 11 games. “That’s just how the Big East is,” Jones said. “You have to be prepared for whatever. Huggins said he thought the Big East tournament is more difficult than the NCAA ournament. “When you get into the NCAA tournament, it’s a two-day tournament. This is harder,” he said, “harder for us to win the Big East tourna-
ment than the first rounds of the NCAA tournament. Huggins knows today’s second-round matchup against the Huskies isn’t going to be easy. The Mountaineers lost to Connecticut 64-57 on Jan. 9. “I think everyone’s said they were the most talented team in the conference,” Huggins said. “They have terrific personnel.” Jones said West Virginia needs to take care of the ball better than it did in the last
meeting against Connecticut. “We’re confident. We can beat them,” Jones said. Connecticut is led by Jeremy Lamb who is scoring 17.6 points per game, while Shabazz Napier is averaging 12.4 points per game. Both Andrew Drummond and Ryan Boatright are each scoring 10 per contest. The Huskies did struggle against No. 16-seeded DePaul in Tuesday’s first-round game. DePaul kept within reach
for much of the game. After trailing by as many as 21 in the second half, the Blue Demons pulled within 9 points before Connecticut took back control of the game. Lamb finished with 25 points and four assists, while Boatright finished with 19 points and seven assists. Jones said West Virginia prepared as if it was going to play Connecticut. The Mountaineers just played DePaul

Jones will use Player of the Year snub as motivation cody schuler sports WRITER
West Virginia senior forward Kevin Jones didn’t win the Big East Player of the Year award. So what happens now? What happens when the
Big East’s most statistically impressive and unwaveringly consistent player doesn’t win the award he seems to justly deserve? Well, we don’t have to guess if we don’t want. It happened during football season. Remember when redshirt junior quarterback Geno Smith was (arguably) the obvious choice for the award
and Cincinnati senior running back Isaiah Pead won it? Smith threw 1,000 yards more than the nearest quarterback. Pead wasn’t even the leading rusher in the Big East. Kind of sounds like Jae Crowder— who isn’t even Marquette’s leading scorer. Is any of this making sense? West Virginia has never had a Big East Player of the Year in

basketball. The closest it has come in recent memory is when Da’Sean Butler was selected first team all-Big East in 2010, but he didn’t win the award. Jones leads the conference in both scoring and rebounding – only the third player in Big East history to achieve that feat. He’s put together one of the most impressive seasons in program— and conference – history. Yet, in terms of winning the coveted Player of the Year award, it didn’t matter. Some say Crowder deserved the award because Marquette is a better team and has won more games. Well, that’s fine, but if you ascribe to that particular argument, then why was St. John’s freshman forward Moe Harkless named Rookie of the Year? Connecticut freshman center Andre Drummond has helped the Huskies compile
a considerably better record than St. John’s. Yet, I digress. I’m not here to argue for or against the verdict that has been handed down. That’s been done enough, and nothing can change it now. What I’m trying to predict is what will happen next. In football season, Smith was bothered that he didn’t win the award – and rightfully so. The Miramar, Fla., native would ultimately set the conference record for the most passing yards in a single season in Big East history. However, he was able to harness the emotion he felt from not winning the award and use it in a positive way. Many things, including a determined quarterback on a mission, fueled West Virginia’s record-setting win in the Orange Bowl. Can the same thing happen in the Big East Conference tournament and the NCAA tournament for the West Vir-
ginia basketball team? Jones is surely disappointed he didn’t win the award. How will he respond to Crowder’s crowning achievement? Today, West Virginia will find itself playing in its biggest game of the season. Connecticut, the defending conference tournament and national champion, awaits. A New York native, playing in his final season, Jones will be looking to shine on the biggest stage the conference has to offer. Throw in that this will be the Mountaineers’ final Big East Conference tournament and that nobody expects them to do well, there is enough motivation and firepower to fuel the entire team to do something great. There’s no telling how someone will respond to adversity, especially something like this. Jones was anointed

Offense still looking for rhythm WVU splits doubleheader with Niagara baseball
by doug walp sports writer
After 10 consecutive games away from home, the West Virginia baseball team split their home-opening doubleheader with Niagara at Hawley Field Tuesday. The Mountaineers (6-6) won the first game 6-5 in a scheduled seven innings, and fell 5-4 in the second, which was a regular nine-inning game. “It was great to get home,” said West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant. “We really wish we could have won both games but you have to give Niagara credit – they made us come out and work to beat them.” The Purple Eagles (4-6) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in Game 1 of the doubleheader, before West Virginia starter Dan Dierdorff could even record his first out, after a three-run blast by Erik Hinkle three batters into the game. Niagara tacked on another run to make it 4-0 before the end of the first. But the Mountaineers responded in each of the next three innings, scratching across one run in each by playing small ball, bringing the score to 4-3, Niagara. Sophomore first baseman Ryan McBroom led off the fifth inning with a double into the gap to chase Niagara starter Kody Kasper off the mound. The next batter, John Polonius, attempted to sacrifice McBroom to thirdbase, but ended up with an infield hit after a bang-bang play at first. Polonius then stole second, while Kasper’s replacement Geoff Soja retired the next batter; but with two outs and runners on second and third, a wild pitch deflected off the catcher’s chest protector and landed just a few feet away. McBroom was determined to score on the play though, and managed to slide under Evan Wexler’s tag at home plate even though it appeared Wexler clearly beat him to the spot. A single by Billy Fleming brought in Polonius for the Mountaineer’s second run of the inning, giving them the lead for the first time, 5-4.
patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum
Head coach Greg Van Zant meets with his players on the mound during the second game against Niagara Tuesday. The Purple Eagles leveled the score in the top half of the sixth, when an aggressive play by leftfielder Matt Frazer resulted in the ball getting to the fence, and Kevin Paulsen scoring all the way from first base with two outs. West Virginia got the run right back in the bottom half, when Max Nogay and Bobby Boyd reached on singles to start the inning. Nogay advanced on a Brady Wilson sacrifice, and Soja balked him in from third to give the Mountaineers the go-ahead lead. Dierdorff retired the Purple Eagle lineup in order in the seventh to record the first complete game of his career in his first start of the season. Dierdorff (10) had posted a .087 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 10.1 innings of relief before Tuesday. He allowed five earned runs, scattering nine hits and two walks, while striking out nine. “It was exciting,” Dierdorff said of his first win. “They capitalized on some mistakes I threw. One went over the fence, but I’m just glad we got the ‘W’.” Boyd had three hits in four appearances in the Mountaineer’s home opener. Fleming was 2-for-2 and also drove in two runs in the win for West Virginia. Niagara got off to a fast start again in Game 2, going up 2-0 early when Jeff Calhoon, who didn’t start in the first game, drove a 2-RBI double off the center field wall. West Virginia answered in the bottom half of the fourth, when designated hitter Gabe Brown connected for a two-out, tworun home run to left-center, tying the score at 2. Brown went 2-for-3 on the day after starting the season 0-for-14. “He had a couple good at-
bats – stayed back and hit the ball the other way his first at-bat and drove the ball out of the ballpark,” Van Zant said. “We don’t have many guys that can drive the ball like him. We just gotta get him into the mix.” Niagara’s Joel Klock walked to open the sixth, and Wynton Bernard beat out an attempted sacrifice bunt with a diving headfirst slide into first, giving the Purple Eagles runners on first and second with no outs. Jon Wilson sacrificed both runners over, and a Calhoon single up the middle scored the runner from third to give the Purple Eagles a 3-2 lead, but a heads-up Brady Wilson noticed Bernard had slipped trying to stop coming around third, fired the ball over and caught him in a rundown. The Mountaineers evened the score again at 3-3 in the seventh when McBroom’s RBI single up the middle brought in Boyd, who led off the inning with a double. But Niagara took a one-run lead for good in the top of the eighth inning when Wilson’s double pushed Bernard across, who had doubled to lead off the inning. Niagara added an insurance run in the ninth to make it 5-3. West Virginia tried to mount a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, bringing a run across on another McBroom RBI single to cut Niagara’s lead to one, but Jordan Schwartz was able to shut the door on the Mountaineers for his first save of the year. Caleb Ross took the loss for West Virginia and fell to 0-2 on the season, while Matt Munson (1-0) picked up the win for the Purple Eagles. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore first baseman Ryan McBroom has been one of the few consistent hitters for WVU so far this season.
by alex sims sports writer
After a splitting a Tuesday doubleheader, the West Virginia baseball team finds itself with a split overall record of 6-6. An excellent complete game performance from junior pitcher Dan Dierdorff led WVU to a game-one victory. Freshman Caleb Ross followed with a strong outing in game two. Six runs were just enough to secure a 6-5 win in game one, but the offense came up just short, as Niagara earned a 5-4 victory in game two. With the first dozen games in the books, the young Mountaineers are still trying to find their offensive identity. “We need more offense, no question about it,” said West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant. “To win consistently you’ve got to score runs. Our hitters are improving gradually, and we have to keep working at it.” Heading into Tuesday,
most of the WVU offensive fireworks had been supplied by two sophomores in left fielder Matt Frazer and first baseman Ryan McBroom. However, against the Purple Eagles, a few newcomers emerged at the plate. True freshman center fielder Bobby Boyd eclipsed the .400 batting average mark for the season with a fantastic day at the plate. In Game 1, the Silver Spring, Md., native had three hits in four at-bats and followed going 2-for-4 while scoring his sixth run of the year. “He’s been doing really well,” Van Zant said. “He’s really improved since the fall and has a good feel for playing the game. He’s going to be a real good player for us.” Another true freshman, Billy Fleming, provided an offensive spark in Game 1. The Churchville, Pa., native went 2-for-2, driving in two of the Mountaineers’ six runs, including an RBI single in the fifth inning, which gave

Injury-plagued WVU down to four players against Duquesne by robert kreis sports writer
Due to injury, the West Virginia women’s tennis team will be forced to compete against Duquesne with only four players tomorrow at the Ridgeview Racquet Club at 3:00 p.m. “I still think we can win,” said West Virginia head coach Tina Samara. “Everyone’s just dealing with it the best they can.” WVU has been playing a man down for a good portion of the season, after Madison Hromada left the team earlier in the year. Now, the team will be down to four active players, with senior Catie Wickline needing to be sidelined against Duquesne due to shoulder inflammation. Wickline is not the only Mountaineer dealing with an injury. Junior Emily Mathis, who has played No. 1 singles for most of the year, has been dealing with a stomach strain that has altered her serve.

Even though Mathis may not be able to serve overhand, Samara is confident the Flower Mound, Texas, native can still win, playing two singles against Duquesne. “Once (Mathis) gets the point in a neutral situation, she is fine,” Samara said. “Hopefully Emily can just work through it.” With the injuries Samara will need to rely on other member’s of her team to step up. Senior Veronica Cardenas has stepped up for the Mountaineers all season. Cardenas currently leads the Mountaineers in singles wins with seven, and is currently on a hot streak winning five of her last six matches. Samara hopes the senior’s winning ways will continue. “I am glad she found a place in her tennis (game) where she is comfortable,” Samara said. “Even the way she is playing, and the choices she is making, she is very comfortable with what she needs to do out there. “That’s a huge part of play-

as the front-runner for the award since the first month of the season and he ultimately did not win. What I do know is there is no player in the country who will be more focused, more determined and more prepared than Jones will be today. Now, fans will have the opportunity to see him play with fervor and intensity like never before. I can’t wait to see how he responds – if he puts on an incredible performance, don’t be surprised. You can thank those who voted Crowder as Player of the Year for that.
Feb. 28. Jones also drew comparisons with the 2009 team that won the program’s only Big East Conference championship. “We were a toughminded team. We came together at the right moments,” Jones said. “That’s what we have to do this year. The tough-minded teams win.” Behind Jones, senior guard Truck Bryant is second on the team in scoring at 17.3 points per game. Junior forward Deniz Kilicli is scoring 10.7 points and collecting five rebounds. “We played against everybody,” Bryant said. “I be-

ing well, when you’re not second guessing yourself.” Another player Samara hopes to see step up is freshman Ikktesh Chahal. Cahal, a native of Chandigarhh, India, has had a rollercoaster season thus far for the Mountaineers. “I think she just needs confidence,” Samara said. “She thinks she needs to do more than she does to be successful. “(Chahal) was thrown into a pretty tough situation from day one, trying to play pretty high in the lineup (for) your first experience playing college tennis and knowing there are high expectations.” It has been an up-and-down season for the West Virginia women’s tennis program, but with all the adversity, Samara believes it will only help her team in the future. “I think (Duquesne) is beatable under our circumstances,” Samara said. “If we all play well, nothing fancy, we will walk away with a win.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

I know we can beat everyone.” Crowder wins Big East player of the year over jones West Virginia senior Kevin Jones didn’t win the Big East Confernece Player of the Year despite leading the conference with 20 points and 11.2 rebounds. Jones is the only player in the country averaging double-figure scoring and rebounds. Marquette’s Jae Crowder won the honor. “I think that 110 percent KJ deserves Player of the Year. It would be crazy (if he didn’t win), but I wouldn’t be surprised,” Bryant said Monday afternoon before the award was announced. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

his team the lead. In Game 2, junior college transfer Gabe Brown finally made a breakthrough at the plate. The junior Ernul, N.C., native entered Tuesday hitless in his first 14 at-bats, but came in as a pinch hitter for his first Division I hit in Game 2. Then, Brown blasted his first Division I home run in his very next at-bat. “We don’t have many guys who can drive the ball out of the ballpark like him,” Van Zant said. “We have to get him into the mix. He just started off slow, so it’s really encouraging to see him get a couple of base hits.” Despite the contributions from some fresh faces, Van Zant is still looking for more from his offense. “We just have to score more runs, it’s pretty simple,” he said. “Our pitchers shouldn’t have to pitch shutouts to win. We have to get more offense going.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Moss holds workout with New Orleans after one year away from NFL
ap
Randy Moss, who once played for the Vikings, Patriots and Titans, worked out with the New Orleans Saints Tuesday in pursuit of an NFL comeback. METAIRIE, La. (AP) — The New Orleans Saints held a workout on Tuesday with veteran receiver Randy Moss, who is trying to make a comeback after spending a year out of pro football. General Manager Mickey Loomis confirmed the workout took place, but the club did not provide any details on how the 35-year-old Moss performed. New Orleans may be in the market for a receiver this off-
season because two of quarterback Drew Brees’ regular targets, Marques Colston and Robert Meachem, are entering free agency, and it remains to be seen whether the Saints can offer the type of contracts that both of them want. Colston’s agent is Joel Segal, who also represents Moss. He could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday. The 6-foot-4 Moss last played
in the NFL in 2010, a turbulent season for him in which he bounced from New England to Minnesota and then to Tennessee. His best season was with New England in 2007, when he caught 98 passes for 1,493 yards and single-season record 23 touchdowns in helping the Patriots to a 16-0 regular season record. Moss, a standout at Marshall before beginning his NFL ca-
reer with the Vikings in 1998, has 954 catches for 14,858 yards and 153 TDs in a career that has ranged from the spectacular to the bizarre. Moss has had more than 1,000 yards receiving in a season 10 times, second only to Jerry Rice, who did that 14 times. Yet he also infamously once said, “I play when I want to play,” essentially confirming criticism that he periodically took plays
off when the ball wasn’t coming to him. During the 2010 season, after he had been traded from New England to Minnesota, then played for the Vikings in a loss to the Patriots, he praised New England coach Bill Belichick and criticized Vikings coaches. He released by Minnesota shortly afterward and claimed by Tennessee for the final eight games of the season, but had only six re-
ceptions for 80 yards and no TDs for the Titans. Saints coach Sean Payton has often spoken of placing a priority on players’ character and limiting off-the-field distractions, but the coach is apparently open to seeing whether Moss can still play, and giving the receiver a chance to persuade him that some of the odd outbursts for which he has been known are a thing of the past.

‘Come Fly Away’ takes flight at CAC
Cassia King/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
‘Come Fly Away’ features 14 talented dancers as was as a 14-piece live band. An ensemble of dancers partner up for one of the songs in Sinatras ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ Tuesday night in the Lyell B. Clay concert theater.
by Elizabeth Finley A&E writer
Tuesday night at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center, a new hit musical took an audience back in time to the golden age of big bands. “Come Fly Away” is based on the musical hits of Frank Sinatra. The show is the creative vision of Twyla Tharp, who incorporated Sinatra’s beloved tunes into her own choreography and storyline. “Come Fly Away” is a part of the WVU Arts Series. The show coming to WVU is made possible by a special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises.
The musical takes place in a 1920s bar, transporting the audience back to an era of jazz, style and good times. Throughout the show, the audiences follow several couples live out their romances in one night of dancing in the bar. Sinatra’s music accompanies the lovers as they express the life of a young relationship. The musical features a 14-piece band that performs onstage to accompany Tharp’s famous choreography. The musical director is WVU alumnus Rob Cookman. The talented musicians who composed the big band had various solos throughout the show. Of course, in a musical that is all about Frank
Sinatra, the music and the band takes the spotlight. “Frank Sinatra is a timeless act,” said Public Relations specialist for WVU Arts & Entertainment David Ryan. “The show introduces him to a whole new audience. I think one of the strengths of this show is that it’s told exclusively through song and dance.” The onstage band was excellent and complemented the dancers well. Tharp is well known for her choreography, which was spot-on with the music. “It was a really good show, it was fun to see all the dancers,” said Amy Hein, a WVU graduate. “To see (the dancers) throw around the girls
Grammy winning opera singer Mark S. Doss to perform at CAC tonight
Mark S. Doss as Riolobo in ‘Florencia en el Amazonas’ at the Houston Grand Opera in 2001.
by Caitlin Graziani A&E EdITOR
West Virginia University will welcome Grammy Award-winning bass-baritone Mark S. Doss for a guest recital at the Creative Arts Center tonight. The recital begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall and is free and open to the public. Robert Thieme of the WVU School of Music faculty will accompany Doss. Doss has sung 55 roles in more than 60 major opera houses. He performed in Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera and the Vienna State Opera. Doss first sang on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, at the age of 28, but his first inspiration came much earlier. “My first inspiration for singing opera was from watching a movie on television where a baritone broke a glass while singing a high note from the ‘Toreador,’ song,” Doss said. His role as Escamillo in Carmen is the one he has performed the most, at 125 performances. His first opera role was in the fall of 1980 at Indiana University as Khan Konchak in Alexander
Borodin’s “Prince Igor.” “My performance was reviewed in Opera News, and the reviewer felt I had great promise,” Doss said. “I went on to perform five other roles at IU, one of which has become a signature role – Mephistopheles in ‘Faust.’” He took the stage as Mephistopheles in Charles Gounod’s “Faust” again with the Santa Fe Opera in the summer of 2011. In March 2011, Doss made his debut at the Vienna State Opera as Amonasro in “Aida.” He also performed the role of Thomas in Christoph Willibald Gluck’s “Iphigenie en Tauride” to open the Canadian Opera Company’s 2011-12 season this past fall. Doss has been featured with the major orchestras of Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia. He was welcomed back to Chicago as the bass soloist in George Frideric Handel’s “Do-ItYourself Messiah.” Last September, the bassbaritone performed the national anthem at a Major League Baseball game: Toronto Blue Jays versus Boston Red Sox in Toronto. Doss won a Grammy Award for his performance on the Deutsche Grammophon recording of Handel’s “Semele.” He was also awarded Planet Africa’s 2011 Entertainment Award.
GEORGE HIXON/HOUSTON GRAND OPERA
He has several upcoming events including another performance in the role of Amonasro in “Aida” with Opera Tampa in Tampa, Fla., a new opera called “Slow Man” in Poznan, Poland, April 20 and 22 and the Four Villains in the “Tales of Hoffman” with Tokyo Opera in 2013.

‘1966’
Amy Ray
Karen Dolton
Amy Ray of contemporary folk duo Indigo Girls released solo album “Lung of Love” Tuesday. The album strays from traditional folk and differs greatly from the indie folk scene. “When You’re Gone, You’re Gone” sounds like it was the least-liked song on a country album, which was unexpected. It’s boring, twangy and doesn’t leave the listener with anything left to ponder. The second track, “Glow,” made my ears perk right up and wonder why it wasn’t the album’s first track. The song has heavy guitar riffs and edited vocals to create an indie pop/rock sound that is so youthful and fun I almost forgot the previous track. But, as the album went on it didn’t get any better. By the time “I Didn’t” began to play, you’re finally getting Ray’s voice, as Brandi Carlile contributed the vocals to many of the tracks on “Lung of Love.” I’m not sure what focus of this album was, if there was one, but the changing styles and inconsistent vocals threw me for a loop, and I couldn’t get into it. If you’re not into twangy guitars and ballad-like guitar chords, you can pass on this album.
Karen Dolton, with a voice eerily similar to Billie Holiday’s, was a folk singer and banjo player who became famous during the early ‘60s explosion of folk music in the cafes around Greenwich Village. Although Dolton was a friend and contemporary of some of the folk movement’s biggest icons, such as Bob Dylan and Fred Neil, she never saw the success or prominence that many of her peers would achieve. Unlike most of her peers, Dolton never experimented with penning her own compositions, preferring instead to cover traditional songs. Since her death in 1993, Dolton’s popularity has increased, elevating her to the status of a cult singer. Since this revival, every inch of Dolton’s career has been reexamined and mined for lost and archival recordings. “1966,” is a recently released home recording which catches Dolton and her husband practicing for a gig in their cabin in Colorado. The impromptu session was captured by a friend who happened to have a reelto-reel tape recorder on hand. Thanks to this simple twist of fate, contemporary fans and audiophiles now have a first-hand account of one of the folk movement’s legends in action.
