Urgent Care becomes first certified in state by jessica lear staff writer

The Urgent Care Association of America has named West Virginia University Urgent Care the first certified urgent care facility in the state.

“We’re really proud that we got the certification and that we are the only one in the state that has it,” said Julie Govic, the clinic manager of WVU Urgent Care. “I hope more go for it because it’s a symbol of excellence and helps the patients

know the facility has been recognized for people who are outstanding in their field.”

WVU Urgent Care has been a part of the Morgantown community since 2007 and provides patients with after-hours care.

Govic said she hopes the certification will work toward reassuring patients of the quality of care WVU Urgent Care can provide them.

“It shows the community that we cover a larger scope and handle more medical con-

Engineering students join NASA microgravity team by carlee lammers staff writer

A group of West Virginia University students are preparing to take flight.

This June, students from the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources will board the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s microgravity research aircraft, where they will have the opportunity to fly their own experiments.

Since 1995, NASA has invited undergraduate microgravity teams to its Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Tex. This year, WVU was one of 24 teams in the nation to be invited to submit a proposal for the program, and was selected as one of 14 teams to join the program this summer.

This will be the 11th year WVU has participated in the program.

WVU mechanical and aerospace engineering professor John Kuhlman, who serves as the team’s adviser, said he was proud of this year’s team for developing a successful proposal despite the challenging nature of the selection process.

“They have to demonstrate

ditions than their family physicians,” she said. “We know we can provide patients with quality care, but now they know this and have proof of it.”

Govic said receiving the certification was not easy, and WVU Urgent Care had to meet national licensing requirements by providing proof of certain procedures, equipment and staff.

“The certification says we know how to handle emergencies and do things like X-rays, EKGs, and administer differ-

ent kinds of medicines,” Govic said. “It also says that we have certain equipment, such as oxygen and defibrillators, that we operate seven days a week and have a licensed MD or DO on staff at all time.”

Once WVU Urgent Care had taken photos and made lists of all of the requirements, the information was sent to the Urgent Care Association of America where it was reviewed by a team of directors, Govic said.

“If the Urgent Care meets all of the criteria or exceeds it,

which we did, then you are recognized and the certification lasts three years,” Govic said.

Govic has also received an award from the Urgent Care Association of America that designates her as an official Urgent Care manager.

“It’s exciting because I learned a lot during the process and have developed some special skills that are unique to an Urgent Care setting,” she said.

WVU Urgent Care is open seven days a week from 8 a.m.

how the experiment might be applicable in current or future NASA programs,” he said.

Kuhlman also said the team had to conduct their own research for the proposal, by reading current NASA literature – something not typically done at the undergraduate level.

When aboard the aircraft, the team will conduct an experiment that will focus on a fluidized bed process, Kuhlman said. He said the experiment could lead to advancements in the applications of filtration, combustion and chemical processes in space.

He also explained that the fluidized bed process is used in other non-space related technologies, such as the Beechurst Avenue power plant in Morgantown.

Students have returned to the classrooms of White Hall as renovations have been completed in time for the spring semester.

The building experienced a $30.3 million renovation project to create a state-of-the-art facility for the West Virginia University Department of Physics, which moved into the new facility this semester.

“The focus of this building is as a research building,” said Earl Scime, chair of the WVU Department of Physics.

“There are a lot of infrastructure improvements that won’t meet the eye – electrical power, chilled water systems, air-handling systems – all of that has been designed to make the study of physics more effective in this new space.”

The features of the refurbished hall include energy and water efficient classrooms, research labs and offices. The building also features an innovative system of outside walls

The American Society of Horticultural Science is recognizing one of West Virginia University’s own professors, Nicole Waterland, for her research and efforts in horticulture.

Waterland has published articles concerning hort-science and hort-technology, in addition to a bulletin targeted at growers.

An article discussing mitigating travel stress in bedding plants was recognized by the ASHA as the Outstanding Extension Publication of 2010.

“The paper being recognized is basically about the process

that occurs after the grower produces this nice, beautiful flowering plant which needs to be shipped to be retailed,” Waterland said. “A lot of times, the plants will encounter stress because they’re in a truck and then they arrive in the retail setting where they may not be watered in the appropriate amount of time or they may be out on the concrete which is dry and can basically bake the plants.”

Waterland conducted the research and authored the paper with the assistance of colleagues from Valent BioSciences Corp. and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster.

“Urgent Care facilities fill the gap between times when patients can’t see their primary care physician or are not extremely ill but need to go to the emergency room,” Govic said. “We like to say we treat patients who need immediate, but not emergency care.”

It is estimated that somewhere between 5 percent to 20 percent of horticulture crops are lost in poor transportation settings and stress on the plants put a significant dent in the horticulture industry, Waterland said.

“The worst thing is to see plants being thrown away,” she said. “If they aren’t irrigated on time and are not maintained in a good environment, they don’t look nice and don’t get bought so they end up being thrown away.”

This problem with maintaining the plants during travel and retail can also have serious effects on the horticulture industry as a whole, Waterland said.

“The grower spends long amounts of time to produce a crop, and when they ship it, they don’t want it to die in the retail setting,” she said. “They want their product to get to the consumer. So, for the growers, if the plant dies at the very end of the process, they’ve lost all of that money and effort that went into producing the product and end up not receiving any profit.”

In addition, the issue of global warming is a serious concern to those in the horticulture industry and can have grave consequences.

Scime said the new facility will allow the department to function on a higher level of efficiency than it did before when it was located in Hodges Hall.

“The building has been designed to bring in the kinds of equipment that physicists use,” Scime said. “In Hodges, every time we needed it, we had to create our own water system or bring in additional electrical power. In this building, it’s all here.”

Every component of the building has been completed except the fourth floor clean labs, Scime said, which will be operational within the next two weeks.

“Those rooms have not passed inspection yet from the cleanliness standpoint,” Scime said.

“The air pressurization has to be right – there are massive filters that filter the air so the room’s air can be at positive pressure.

Brooke Cassidy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

There are still a few things that need to be tweaked to get those rooms into compliance.”

White Hall was constructed in 1942 as the Mineral Industries Building. It is a six-story classroom facility located on University Avenue.

“The building itself is a 1940s building, so it’s been completely renovated, excluding the central core by the grand staircase in the center,” Scime said. “Other than that and the floors, everything is new. It’s essentially a new building.”

Construction on White Hall began in 2010. Scime said the department and the University have been planning the reconstruction for four years. There are four classrooms between the main building and the annex, and other departments will also have access to those classrooms.

“The classes seem to be going well. I think there are some issues that we’ll solve with how the classrooms are functioning – it’ll just take a little time,” Scime said.

Waterland hopes her research will benefit the industry by getting the product out to the consumer and helping them maintain a nice looking product to sell to the public.

The horticulture industry’s scope and opportunities make it a promising choice for undergraduate and graduate students, Waterland said.

At WVU, the horticulture program is expanding and gaining popularity, with a new greenhouse being built on the Evansdale Campus.

“This research is adding a new dynamic to the horticulture program here at WVU,” she said. “It’s addressing more current topics such as sustainability with water conservation and global warming. I think my research addresses more current issues that our horticulture students will start to hear more about in the industry.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Liturgy

‘Box Set’

Gucci Mane & V-Nasty

Neutral Milk Hotel

Most people have pretty strong feelings about black metal. Either you love it or you hate it. In such an extreme genre, there is very little room for middle ground.

A new brand of American black metal, which takes its cues equally from indie noise groups like Lighting Bolt, math-rock groups like Don Caballero and its Norwegian “true” black metal forbearers, has recently emerged and created quite a controversy. But not for any of the reasons you would expect.

Members of this new metal movement, led by groups like Brooklyn’s Liturgy, refuse to conform to any of the genre’s traditional aesthetics like corpse paint, spiked clothing and satanic stage theatrics. Instead, when Liturgy performs, they dress like normal, approachable guys and Liturgy’s sophomore album (“Aesthethica,”) has earned the group the attention of the alternative music press (NPR streamed their album in 2011) and helped turn a lot of hipsters into metal fans.

Most traditional black metal fans see the group’s style as a perversion of traditions.

The album shares many of black metal’s traditional sonic qualities while also shunning many of them. In interviews, members of the band refer to their style as “transcendental black metal.”

So think of Liturgy as doing for black metal, what the Beastie Boys did for hip-hop or the Bad Brains did for punk. Although the gate crashers may not be welcomed, they are much needed in such an isolated and static genre.

When you first hear V-Nasty, the white, female protege of viral video star and Odd Future cohort Kreayshawn, you’ll probably think it’s a joke.

About 30 seconds into any of her tracks, you’ll realize that she is in fact deadly serious and that seems to be the main problem.

She’s extremely untalented really ignorant and like a lot of other awful musicians, is under the impression that she’s about to be the next big thing.

So, the fact that V-Nasty has teamed up with Gucci Mane, who is best known for prolifically pumping out awful mixtapes, should not come as (music) of a surprise.

On their full-length team-up album, “BATYL,” Gucci & V-Nasty vie for the title of worlds worst, most nonsensical rapper alive.

After twelve tracks of namedropping, braggadocio and bland beats courtesy of producer Zaytoven, it’s still unclear who is actually worse.

You’d think the general public is not that stupid and no one would actually listen to this, but this album is currently streaming on Spotify and its corresponding YouTube videos have hundreds of thousands of views.

So apparently someone is listening to this- I just hope I never meet them.

Neutral Milk Hotel is one of the most passionately beloved groups to emerge from the ‘90s indie rock scene. Emerging from the fabled Atlanta-based Elephant 6 recording collective, the group quickly distinguished itself from its peers and generated a loyal cult following.

After releasing an EP, a handful of singles and two studio albums (the last of which was the indie touchstone, “In an Aeroplane Over the Sea”) the group’s leader Jeff Mangum ceased releasing music and secluded himself from the public eye.

Despite its brief career, Neutral Milk Hotel remains highly popular and its records continue to sell.

Recently, Mangum has emerged from his self-imposed sabbatical and has begun playing select shows under his own name.

In October, Mangum made a surprise visit to Zuccotti Park in New York and played an acoustic show for those protesting there as part of the Occupy moment.

Although Mangum has returned, he will be among the headliners at this year’s Coachella Festival, he has yet to release any new music.

To help satisfy his fanbase’s appetite, Mangum has compiled ancomprehensive box set consisting of everything Neutral Milk Hotel has ever officially released, as well as 15 rare and previously unreleased tracks.

If you’re a die-hard Neutral Milk Hotel fan, this box set is the perfect purchase and will serve as the only collection you’ll ever need.

If you’re unfamiliar with Magnum and his work, then you definitely need to get this. It’s never to late to join the legions of loyal followers.

Can you say that on TV? The Supreme Court debates WASHINGTON (AP) — In colorful give and take, the Supreme Court debated whether policing curse words and nudity on broadcast television makes sense in the cable era, one justice suggesting the policy is fast becoming moot as broadcast TV heads the way of “vinyl records and 8-track tapes.”

The case involves programing that is available to all viewers free over the air - even though many now receive it through paid cable connections - during hours when children are likely to be watching.

Some justices said they were troubled by inconsistent standards that allowed certain words and displays in some contexts but not in others.

One example frequently cited by the networks was the Federal Communications Commission’s decision not to punish ABC for airing “Saving Private Ryan,” with its strong language, while objecting to the same words when uttered by celebrities on live awards shows.

Justice Elena Kagan said the FCC policy was, “Nobody can use dirty words or nudity except Steven Spielberg,” director of the World War II movie.

Other justices seemed more

open to maintaining the current rules because they allow parents to put their children in front of the television without having to worry they will be bombarded by vulgarity.

Chief Justice John Roberts, the only member of the court with young children, hammered away at that point.

Robert wondered why broadcasters would oppose FCC regulation, especially when cable and satellite service can offer hundreds of channels with few restrictions.

“All we are asking for, what the government is asking for, is a few channels where ... they are not going to hear the Sword, the F-word, they are not going to see nudity.”

Justice Antonin Scalia placed himself on the side of the government. “These are public airwaves. The government is entitled to insist upon a certain modicum of decency.

I’m not sure it even has to relate to juveniles, to tell you the truth.”

But at least one justice, Samuel Alito, talked about how rapidly technological change has effectively consigned vinyl records and 8-tracks to the scrap heap, suggesting that in a rapidly changing universe, time will take care of the dispute. Al-

ready nearly nine of 10 households subscribe to cable or satellite television and viewers can switch among broadcast and other channels with a button on their remote controls.

“I’m sure your clients will continue to make billions of dollars on their programs which are transmitted by cable and by satellite and by Internet. But to the extent they are making money from people who are using rabbit ears, that is disappearing,” Alito said.

The First Amendment case involves programing received by antennas on top of a television set, a house or building.

Much of that programing now also is available through cable and satellite connections, but only the over-the-air transmissions are at issue.

The FCC policy under attack flowed from the court’s 1978 Pacifica decision, which upheld the FCC’s reprimand of a New York radio station for its mid-afternoon airing of a George Carlin monologue containing a 12-minute string of expletives.

Take advantage of the WVU housing fair Anyone who has leased an apartment knows the stress and headaches that can be involved.

No two landlords are the same, and there are many aspects of a house or apartment to look at before making the decision to sign a lease.

Finding the right place to live is much harder than one thinks. Searching aimlessly through the classifieds usually leaves renters with the

last picks.

And it makes the process even longer and more stressful when you have to drive all over town to meet landlords who own properties that you know nothing about and most of the time end up being a slum.

This is why West Virginia University is hosting the annual spring housing fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

More than 45 area landlords and property managers will be available for students to discuss rental needs.

The event is helpful for all students looking for new living arrangements for the next school year, but is especially helpful to those not originally from Morgantown.

Being in an uncomfortable living situation will complicate your school life by creating conflicts with study hab-

its. School is stressful enough on its own. Take advantage of the opportunity to walk around the housing fair.

There is no pressure to sign a lease, so the process will be more fun than stressful and door prizes will be given as well.

Students will be able to meet landlords face to face and ask the questions that concern them the most, such as pet options, pricing, park-

ing and amenities.

There will be options for every budget. No matter if you are looking for a large scale apartment complex or the simplest apartment, you’ll find it there.

Don’t let this chance slip by. This is the only time to explore the vast housing options that Morgantown has to offer all in one place.

The New York Times should report more responsibly charles young A&E editor

I love newspapers – I always have.

After I came to understand the enormous power which lay between the pages, I knew I wanted to work for a newspaper.

Since I was 8 years old, I have been consistently employed by a newspaper in at least some capacity. I started as a newspaper carrier, delivering 300 daily papers in my neighborhood.

In high school, I began writing album reviews and music columns for the local paper. Now as a second-year journalism student here at West Virginia University, I’m one of the co-editors of The Daily Athenaeum’s Arts & Entertainment section.

The point of this story is not to list my resume or talk about myself, but to convey my deep love and respect for everything having to do with newspapers.

I get almost all of my news from the New York Times and do my best to read as much of its international edition as I can each day. For an aspiring journalist like myself, the Times represents not only a career goal, but also a high standard of ethics and integrity.

One of my favorite books is “The Kingdom and the Power,” former Time’s correspondent Gay Talese’s fascinating account of the Time’s rise to prominence and place in the world today.

Just the other night, I got into an argument with a friend about the Time’s handling of the Judith Miller scandal and the way its reporting contributed to swaying public opinion during the lead-up to the Iraq War. Being a loyal reader and staunch supporter, I stood by the Time’s decisions and actions until I was blue in the face.

That being said, you will understand the shock and anger I experienced when I came across an opinion article on Al-Jazeera English,

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meets with Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez during a welcoming ceremony at the Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas, Venezuela, Monday. pointing out a recent lapse in journalistic and ethical standards at the New York Times.

In the article, entitled “The New York Times Misleading Public on Iran,” Robert Naiman, who is Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy, pointed out the Time’s decision to remove an erroneous paragraph from Steven Erlanger’s Jan. 4 article, “Europe Takes Bold Step Toward a Ban on Iranian Oil.” In the paragraph in question, Erlanger asserted that according to a recent statement by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran’s

nuclear program has a “military objective.”

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this statement because it is a fact that Iran has nuclear aims.

However, as Patrick B. Pexton said in his Dec. 9 Washington Post article, “Getting ahead of the facts on Iran,” the IAEI statement in question clearly “does not say Iran has a bomb, nor does it say it is building one, only that its multi-year effort pursuing nuclear technology is sophisticated and broad enough that it could be consistent with building a bomb.”

While it is not unethical to update or revise articles after their publication, it is customary to also print an accompanying notice alerting readers to errors and subsequent changes.

As Naiman points out, the Times failed to print a correction or acknowledge their mistake. Instead, they simply removed the paragraph and carried on.

Being such a trusted newspaper, our nation’s paper of record in fact, The New York Times has a responsibility to report as accurately as possible, and, when it does pub-

lish an erroneous statement, to alert its readership.

In other incidents, such as when the Times mixed up the names of two of the characters from the children’s cartoon “My Little Pony” in the article “Navigating Love and Autism” by Amy Harmon, the Times promptly printed a correction. If the Times is willing to admit their most trivial mistakes, then they should also acknowledge their much larger ones.

Personally, I don’t think the public was terribly harmed by the “pony” mix-up. Something as serious as Iran’s nu-

www.sfexaminer.com

clear intentions, however, should be represented clearly and accurately as possible.

Public opinion on this matter may affect future military actions and have an effect on the upcoming national elections.

For the sake of the public who trust the Times, and for the sake of the conscience of those parties responsible, I hope that this error is acknowledged and rectified.

If you feel as strongly about this issue as I do, feel free to let the New York Times know at: http://www.nytimes.com/ content/help/contact/directory.html.

Hold on, Holder – South Carolina’s Voter ID law is just frank mace harvard political review uwire

“60 Minutes” aired an interesting segment, “The Perfect Score: Cheating on the SAT,” recently. The report investigated how Sam Eshaghoff, a 19-year-old college student, was able to fraudulently take the SAT and ACT college admissions tests for high-school clients.

Earning up to $2,500 per test, Eshaghoff took the SAT at least 16 times, even taking the tests on behalf of girls. Eshaghoff needed only “a little piece of plastic that got laminated once” to dupe test administrators. He says he wasn’t the only one at his high school cheating like this.

This segment on test fraud got me thinking about voting fraud, specifically about the high-profile showdown between the Justice Department and South Carolina over a new

DA

voter identification law. South Carolina recently passed a law requiring voters to show government-issued photo identification in order to vote, a measure supporters say will curb voter fraud.

Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department argue the law discriminates against minority voters, who are less likely to possess acceptable photo ID, and blocked the law.

In a December speech, Holder asked Americans to “call on our political parties to resist the temptation to suppress certain votes in the hope of attaining electoral success.”

Currently, 15 states require or plan to require voters to present photo ID in order to vote.

At the heart of the dispute is the fact, according to Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, “that 8.4 percent of white registered voters lacked any form of DMV-issued ID, as compared to 10.0 percent of non-white registered voters.”

Much has been said and

written about the potentially discriminatory impact and legality of the new law. I join the fray to argue, on principle, that the voter identification law is just.

We, as citizens, have more than the right to vote, we have the right to vote fairly. After all, the right to pull a lever in an election booth means nothing if the election is not fair. Eshaghoff showed how easy it is to fraudulently represent yourself at SAT testing locations, where photo IDs are required.

How much easier, then, would it be to commit fraud when no photo ID is required?

The sacred right to vote in this country is founded on the assumption that each vote will be counted fairly.

States are justified in moving to protect that fairness if, as many states have, they deem election fraud is imminent or occurring.

Opponents of the law frequently contend that voting is different from other activities which require a photo ID. Yes,

voting rights are sacrosanct and fundamental, but that doesn’t make requiring IDs is unfair. The right to travel is a fundamental right according to the Supreme Court, but you must present photo ID to get on a plane.

President Obama has called on “every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training,” yet taking the SAT requires a photo ID. Photo identification is required for many of the activities Americans consider “rights”– to travel, to pursue higher education and to seek success. It is not unreasonable to require one to vote.

In challenging the South Carolina law, Attorney General Holder has once again played the race card. Speaking about some of his critics, Holder once said: “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him ... both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that

we’re both African-American.” Criticisms of Holder, over matters like the disastrous Fast and Furious operation, are performance-based, not racially-based. White political leaders get attacked too.

Holder seems to find racism where it isn’t present.

It isn’t present in the law his Justice Department has challenged. The law is a legitimate state attempt to improve the integrity of the voting process.

It’s hard to believe South Carolina would battle the DOJ and attract a media frenzy in order to, as some allege, disenfranchise 1.6 percent more nonwhites than whites.

South Carolina may be an unfortunate place to have this showdown, given its history of racism, but 14 other states have deemed photo ID necessary to prevent voter fraud as well.

When Indiana’s voter ID law came before the Supreme Court in 2008, the Court voted 6-3 to uphold it, with liberal Justice Stevens writing for the

majority.

If the Supreme Court upheld a voter ID law in Indiana, why would the DOJ challenge one in South Carolina?

Just because it’s South Carolina doesn’t mean it’s racist.

The Wall Street Journal details: South Carolina’s law, like Indiana’s and Georgia’s, explicitly addresses potential disenfranchisement by offering state-issued IDs free of charge.

When civilrights groups fretted about the ability of minority voters to get to the local Department of Motor Vehicles to pick up a free state-issued ID card, Governor Haley created an 800 number to offer free rides to anyone who couldn’t afford the transportation. About 30 people called.

Hardly an attempt to disenfranchise minorities, as the NAACP claimed when it asked the United Nations to intervene.

South Carolina not only can, but must ensure its elections are fair. The law is just.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY You could find this year rewarding, especially your dealings with one specific person. Trust and closeness will walk hand in hand. You won’t have time for the superficial, as you demand more authenticity from yourself. If you are single, you could have one friend who becomes very close. This person also could become a romantic tie. Do be careful not to become sloppy in other areas of your life, as you might be consumed by relating. With diligence, your work life will become more fulfilling close to your next birthday. LEO can be helpful with money.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Be willing to change directions. If you don’t try or explore this opportunity, you could be sorry at a later date. Stay centered in your dealings. You know what is workable. Say “yes” to possibility. Understanding evolves. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You beam, and another person cannot help but come toward you. A serious matter needs to be dealt with, no matter what else might be going on. With you at the steering wheel, the outcome can only be excellent. Don’t be surprised at how reticent the other party might be. Tonight: As you like.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You understand passion and extremes better than many people. Your ability to flex emerges, even with a difficult person.

It seems as if you are always the source for a solution, or at least today. Others seem to perk up when they are around you. Tonight: Midweek break.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Be sensitive to others. At present, your ability to feel seems to be enhanced. Be willing to pull back and consider how it might feel to be in another’s shoes. Could you be holding back or judging yourself more strongly than usual? Tonight: Make it quiet.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might want to check out an investment or handle a matter that is personal. Accomplish or handle only what you must.

You can feel someone else coming toward you. Remain upbeat and direct with a loved one. Tonight: Anchor in.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. A meeting or conversation reminds you to get rid of negativity. In the same spirit of optimism, you could go way overboard. Give up either/or thinking, and let a little self-discipline emerge. Now, isn’t that better? Tonight: Celebration feels right.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Keep conversations flowing, and worry less about others’ responses. Don’t lose yourself; remain your own person. You tend to see situations quite differently.

Remember, that is normal. Stay centered, knowing what is going on and where you are heading. Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Take a stand, yet know that someone else might be right too. Your instincts point to how to deal with a boss or someone instrumental to your life. Check out an investment that could make your personal life far more comfortable. Tonight: A force to

be dealt with.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You might want to investigate an option that involves travel, dealing with someone very different and/ or taking a course. A friend could be a bit dour or stern; let it go. Tonight: Try something new.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Deal with a partner directly. He or she will appreciate the direct contact from you.

Envision more of what you desire from this person. At times it might be worthwhile to verbalize your desires. Pressure builds from what you perceive to be an obligation. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Defer to others. You want to investigate the potential that lies between you and another person. Sometimes walking in another person’s shoes enhances your understanding. Right now, bone up on your listening skills. You will learn much more this way. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s choices.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Sometimes your routine dominates -much like today! You are able to sneak in a very rewarding conversation. You will find time to have a lengthier discussion later, should you want it. Curb any financial risks in the evening. Tonight: But make sure you take a small risk.

A&E WRITER

The West Virginia University Creative Arts Center will host the Doctorate of Musical Arts solo recital, led by doctoral student Mario Santoso, tonight at 6 p.m.

Originally from Karawaci, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, Santoso is working toward a doctorate in piano performance.

He has previously earned de-

my recital with a theme, and this time’s theme is ‘fantasy’,” Santoso said.

This theme was inspired by three pieces – Chopin’s “Polonaise-Fantasy,” Shubert’s (“Wanderer”) Fantasy and Liszt’s “Sonata in B minor.”

Although Santoso is no stranger to the stage, he admits there are still many challenges he faces as a musician.

Each of these pieces presented obstacles for Santoso.

“The biggest inspiration of the program is the Liszt. It is so difficult that I gave up three times previously, trying to practice this music,” he said.

Santoso does more than perform each piece- he tries to honor the composer when doing so. When speaking of the works and their creators, he uses their inspirations as a catalyst for his own.

His performance choices

were based both on level of difficulty and overall personal connection to the piece.

“Sonata B minor, a half-anhour non-stop piece, indeed is one of the peak literatures of the Romantic era,” Santoso said.

Public Relations Specialist Charlene Lattea has witnessed the work of Santoso and expects a great turnout for the performance.

“It’s going to be really

great. His performance is both beautiful and captivating,” Lattea said.

The recital begins at 6 p.m. in the Bloch Learning and Performace Hall. The performance is free and open to the public.

‘The Devil Inside’ possesses weekend box office, negative reactions “The Devil Inside” opened Friday night, grossing more than double its anticipated numbers in its first night alone – beating out “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and ruining its streak at the top of the box office.

The movie, a mixture of the “Exorcist” and “The Blair Witch Project” with its this faux-documentary format, quite like that of the “Paranormal Activity” films- attempted to shine light on the reality of this so-called true story.

Madeline Carey A&E correspondent

If you have watched television or been on the Internet in the past two weeks, then it’s safe to say that you’ve been bombarded with trailers for “The Devil Inside.”

From the looks of its opening weekend, the movie’s marketing strategy worked more magic than anyone had initially predicted.

attempts at exorcisms and played on the fears of those who believe that demonic possession is possible.

However, from the very beginning, the movie reveals a disclaimer telling the audience that the Roman Catholic Church doesn’t endorse any of the ideas within the film.

The film, which is supposedly based on fact, then goes on to make several claims against Roman Catholic practices that are false, including the accusation that exorcisms are now forbidden to be

recorded.

From a skeptic’s point of view, the movie was nothing but a joke and sarcastic jab at what some people may believe is real. Honestly, the average horror movie enthusiast would find the film to be lacking in every aspect of fear-inducing nature.

The story centers around Isabella Rossi (Fernanda Andrade), whose mother committed several murders as a little girl. Rossi’s mother, Maria (Suzan Crowley), has been diagnosed with several dif-

ferent mental disorders over the years, yet nothing has changed with her mother’s condition. In true documentary style, Isabella does reveal the information she knows about the murders to the cameras - that the murders her mother committed occurred during what appeared to be an exorcism - hers.

Maria is sent to Rome for more care, but Isabella believes it is for ulterior motives - an exorcism. Although the Catholic Church, in the movie, is said to condemn

exorcisms.

Isabella reaches out to a few Catholic priests who refer to themselves as exorcists who work with science to conduct exorcisms.

The production style is getting old and fools no one into believing the story. It cannot be denied though that “The Devil Inside” pulls on the strings within those more willing to believe and creates a veil of fear around the viewer from beginning to end. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

nick arthur sports WRITER

WVU needs consistent Palmer to win In a nutshell, the first two games of 2012 sum up the season thus far for West Virginia women’s basketball sophomore guard Taylor Palmer.

The Mount Vernon, N.Y., native scored 33 points in the Mountaineers’ victorious home opener back in early November, then responded with a three-point effort in a loss to St. Bonaventure one week later.

It was then when West Virginia head coach Mike Carey told Palmer she needed to do one thing – keep shooting.

Now, 14 games later, the talented sharp shooter has failed to find much consistency and one thing is clear – West Virginia is a much better team when Palmer is on her game.

Yes, the Mountaineers defeated Seton Hall 79-63 on Tuesday night despite only seven points from Palmer.

But, in West Virginia’s 12 wins this season, Palmer is averaging 15.1 points. Compare that to an average of just 8.7 points in its four losses.

If head coach Mike Carey’s team wants to achieve its goal – compete for a Big East Championship – Palmer must find consistency on the offensive end of the floor.

Teams such as Connecticut, Notre Dame and DePaul have the inside presence to force West Virginia out of the paint. What will the Mountaineers need to do to counter that disadvantage?

Make outside shots.

Palmer was doing just that in the first 12 games of the season, while averaging 16.1 points per game. But she is only averaging 5.7 points per game in the last four outings.

The ability to make outside shots does more than put points on the scoreboard. It completely changes the strategy and mentality of opposing defenses.

It forced them to guard the perimeter aggressively, which opens up a lot of space in the paint for two of the better offensive centers in the Big East Conference – West Virginia’s Asya Bussie (12.9 points per game) and Ayana Dunning (7.9 points per game).

Palmer was 3-10 from the floor in the victory over Villanova Tuesday.

So, I asked Bussie what Palmer needed to do to get back on track.

Bussie had a simple but familiar message for Palmer “Just keep shooting.”

Palmer will have a little bit of time to shoot before the Mountaineers face a brutal schedule in early February that includes four straight games against ranked teams.

In those games, Palmer will need to do more than shoot if West Virginia wants to be successful.

She must make.

Redshirt sophomore guard Christal Caldwell finished with 18 points and nine rebounds in West Virginia’s win over Seton Hall.

Caldwell, Bussie lead West Virginia to 79-63 win over Seton Hall by cody schuler sports writer

After securing a 16-point victory over a conference foe, one would think a coach wouldn’t be too unhappy with how the game turned out.

Then again, West Virginia head coach Mike Carey isn’t like every other coach.

Despite the Mountaineers’ 79-63 win over Seton Hall,

there were many things that irked Carey after the game.

“We quit playing,” he said. “(We) quit playing defense (and) got rattled against their pressure – that’s what happened.”

The Mountaineers looked in control early, taking a 4021 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the second half, however, the Pirates outscored West Virginia 42-39 – shooting 43 percent from the

field and causing a lot of displeasure for Carey.

“When (Seton Hall) did miss, we didn’t rebound. We had two-on-ones and had three charges coming down (the court) … it’s unbelievable,” he said.

West Virginia shot 50 percent from the field for the game and placed four players in double figures.

Redshirt sophomore guard Christal Caldwell continued

her recent hot streak, leading the West Virginia offensive attack with 18 points and nine rebounds.

Junior center Asya Bussie ruled the paint, scoring 15 points and grabbing nine rebounds.

Freshman guard Linda Stepney was a perfect 3-for-3 beyond the arc and scored a career-high 12 points.

Sophomore guard Brooke Hampton also made all three

of her three-point attempts and finished with 11 points.

As impressive as West Virginia was on the offensive end, Carey, seemed as if he couldn’t have cared less about the stellar shooting.

“I’m not about the points, I’m all about making the stops,” he said. “If our post gave up more points than what their post scored, we

Holgorsen makes mark in first season at WVU by cody schuler sports writer

On June 10, 2011, West Virginia officially named Dana Holgorsen as the 33rd head coach in program history.

The former coach-in-waiting was thrust into the spotlight after a messy and highly publicized power shift that left many Mountaineer fans unsure of when to expect Holgorsen’s trademark offensive attack to take flight and spur a new brand of West Virginia football.

What fans didn’t know at the time, however, was that there would be no waiting for this head coach to make his mark.

By the end of his first season, Holgorsen, at 40 years old, was able to accomplish what only two other coaches in the history of college football have done: win a BCS game in his first season as a head coach.

Holgorsen joins former Miami head coach matt sunday/the daily athenaeum West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen is just the third head coach to win a BCS bowl Larry Coker and Boise State head coach Chris game in his first season as a head coach.

plish the rarefied feat.

Following the Mountaineers’ 70-33 drubbing of Clemson, Holgorsen was asked what it felt like to join the elite group of coaches who were able to take home a BCS trophy in an inaugural year as head coach.

Much like he did for the entirety of the season, Holgorsen deflected any credit for himself and instead heaped praise upon his team.

“It isn’t about me – it’s about our seniors,” he said. “Those guys have been through a lot. They have laid the groundwork. They have been a part of three BCS bowl wins in the last six years.”

Holgorsen, a native of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, faced stiffer expectations than most first-year coaches do in that he was responsible for expanding West Virginia’s national reputation before ever coaching a single game.

After this season, it’s safe to say that Holgorsen has already reenergized the West Virginia brand to a national glow – and he believes

Role players lead Mountaineers to win by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

On a night where West Virginia’s top scorers weren’t shooting as effective as normal, the role players stepped up and gave the team a balanced attack in the Mountaineers 79-63 victory over Seton Hall Tuesday.

Three Mountaineer point guards – redshirt sophomore Christal Caldwell, sophomore Brooke Hampton and freshman Linda Stepney combined to score 41 points in the game, giving the rest of the team a lift.

But, head coach Mike Carey was not pleased with his team’s defense as the Mountaineers were outscored 42-39 in the second half. “(We) quit playing defense, got rattled against the pressure, turned it over, gave up second shots and didn’t defend,” Carey said after the game. “That’s the problem, we’re not good enough to do that. And when we do, we look terrible.”

WVU’s guards were outscored by Seton Hall’s guards, and that was between two of the Pirates players to the Mountaineers’ three.

Seton Hall scored almost 50 points between its two starting guards. They were able to get into the paint and West Virginia could not stop them.

“We’re off tomorrow and I told the guards I will be their coach for the next two days,” Carey said. “That just can’t

Freshman point guard Linda Stepney scored 12 points in West Virginia’s win over Seton Hall Tuesday night. happen. Our guards didn’t do a good job of defending.”

Despite the poor defensive play by the Mountaineers in the second half, they were able to get balanced scoring from their role players.

West Virginia scored 21 points off the bench in the game, led by Hampton who had 11 points, two rebounds and two assists.

Hampton had two threepointers in a row on two straight possessions, with two minutes left in the first half. The sophomore finished with 11 points and two rebounds on the night.

Hampton shot 100 percent on the night, converting on all four

of her shots from the field.

Stepney also gave the Mountaineers a boost in scoring, with 12 points and eight assists, while Caldwell finished with 18 points and nine rebounds in another strong effort.

“We scored a lot of points at the guard position, but gave up a lot of points,” Carey said.

“When we play against a team like that in the Big East, we can’t do that.”

Communicating on screens and transitions by Seton Hall was a problem for the Mountaineers all night. The scoring will come, according to Carey, but the defensive execution needs to improve.

“We can go small, we can go big. I need to do a better job with the two big girls because it seems like we’re going at it a lot more, so I have to do a better job on the picks because we don’t switch,” Carey said.

Bussie, West Virginia’s second leading scorer, finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, but 11 of those came in the second half.

“Our one’s, two’s, three’s are running into picks,” Carey said of his perimeter players.

“They’re not doing what they should be doing. I need to do a better job teaching that.” ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

“I will say between their three guards, (Seton Hall) had 57 points. Our guards didn’t do a good job defending – that just cannot happen.”

Only four players scored for Seton Hall, but at the rate junior guard Brittany Morris, senior guard Jasmine Crew and junior forward Terry Green were putting up points, nobody else had to.

he hasn’t yet scratched the surface on what the program can become.

“The victory caps a great season and helps us lay the

Morris led all scorers with 24 points, Crew followed with 23 points and Green chipped in with 10 points.

Bussie gave credit to the fearlessness and tenacity the trio played with.

“It was a totally different style of play (compared to Villanova),” she said. “Seton Hall guards were so aggressive.”

Hampton agreed with her head coach that the team needs to work on defending opposing guards, and to do that, they need to start communicating better.

“I give their guards credit, but I think we just need to do a better job on defense of communicating on screens more,” she said. “We will – we’ll get that covered in practice.”

Carey made it known that his first point of emphasis after the team returns from tomorrow’s off-day is addressing defense at the guard spots.

“We’re off tomorrow, and I told the guards I will be their coach the next two days – one-on-one with them.”

“I’m a defensive coach, not an offensive coach. We’re

not going to play defense like that.”

With the victory, West Virginia improves its record to 12-4 overall and 3-1 in Big East Play. Seton Hall dropped to 7-11 overall for the year and still remains winless in conference with an 0-4 record.

West Virginia was able to win the rebounding battle handily (37-26) and dominated the game inside, outscoring Seton Hall 26-12 in the paint.

groundwork for the future,” he said. “It is what our players, especially the seniors, hoped to do.”

“The win puts our program in a shining moment for now, but we believe better things are ahead. We are just beginning to get this offense installed. We

feel that we can improve and get better, and our play at the end of the season proves that is possible.”

To assess the culture Holgorsen has after his first year, look no further than West Virginia’s two offensive stars from the Orange Bowl victory.

Junior inside receiver Tavon Austin, who set a new record for most receptions in a bowl game in the win, emphasized the level of trust he felt in playing for a coach as dynamic as Holgorsen.

“We just had to go by what coach Holgorsen said. We ran our plays hard. I’m just glad I got to play for him,” he said.

“Coach Holgorsen got us together in our meeting and told us to believe in ourselves, and believe in the people in this room, and that’s what we did.

We bought into what he said, and we got the job done.”

Junior quarterback Geno Smith, who set the new Big East passing record for most passing yards in a season, acknowledged just how big of a role Holgorsen played in the team’s success – both now and moving forward.

“He means everything, man,” he said of Holgorsen. “He’s making big changes in the program. If I’m in high school, I’m definitely trying to hop on board.”

While the Orange Bowl win signified a quantum leap forward for the West Virginia program, it also served as a victory toast to the Big East.

Despite the Mountaineers pending departure, the Big East was able to notch a BCS victory over a team from the ACC – its major rival conference.

To address the perceived fallacy concerning the national viability of the Big East, Holgorsen brought up West Virginia’s sterling BCS record over the past six years.

“I’ve only been (at West Virginia) a year, I know, but West Virginia has won three BCS games in the last six years, which is a pretty good track record,” he said.

“You know, and West Virginia has been in the Big East for the last six years last time I checked. So I think that’s a pretty good track record.”

After the game, Holgorsen mentioned how the path to an Orange Bowl victory wasn’t an easy one, and that made the win even sweeter to enjoy.

“We did what we were supposed to do to get here,” he said. “We prepared hard. We respected our opponent, but we weren’t scared of anybody.”

“We went out there, and we did what we had to do to win the game, and we’re going to enjoy it.”

Club sports programs wrap up successful fall semester by jon fehrens

sports correspondent

As the fall semester close, many club sports programs wrapped up as well.

While last year’s season brought huge success to many sports, it left other programs with something to work harder on in the offseason. This year’s spring schedule is full of teams looking to finish what they started in 2011.

Club softball was one of the programs that reaped the benefits of hard work. The team fin-

ished with a 5-1 record in conference play. Outfielder Sydney Brown attributed the success to the team’s versatility.

“We not only were able to be solid defensively but were explosive offensively,” she said.

The team accomplished many goals like beating rival Pittsburgh and, for the first time, sweeping Potomac State.

Brown is already looking forward to the start of the season.

“We hope to finish the job we started in the fall; finish strong in the conference and then head to nationals,” she said.

Men’s club basketball enjoyed its first season in the club sports department. Even though the team finished with a record of 5-7, it gave players such as Ben Wise and Marshall Dressler a place to get noticed.

Phil McClure, head of club basketball, sees a bright future for the program where hopefully one day the team could take place in tournaments up and down the east coast.

In rugby, the A-team had an up-and-down season, but ended up with a winning record of 12-11. It came out to a fantastic 5-1 start, but with injuries and sloppy losses to Pitt, they began to skid. Tom Grady and Ryan Blythe were the standout performers of last year’s season.

The No. 23 men’s ice hockey team enjoyed a nice season, finishing with a record of 1312 and an excellent 7-2 record in league play.

“Last semester, we finished strong and put ourselves in a position to be successful in the second half,” said head coach Zach Sonnefeld. “The second half is all about consistency. We must be consistently great so we can accomplish our goals.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Casteel, assistants expected to join Rodriguez at Arizona by michael carvelli sports editor

Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that Arizona is expected to announce the final four assistants to join head coach Rich Rodriguez’s coaching staff today.

Three West Virginia defensive assistants, including defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, are expected to join the Wildcats’ staff. Casteel was the defensive coordinator at WVU under Rodriguez from 2003 until Rodriguez left for Michigan at the end of the 2007 regular season.

Expected to join Casteel and Rodriguez at Arizona are WVU defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich and cornerbacks coach David Lockwood. Kirelawich has been with West Virginia for

32 seasons, while Lockwood joined the staff after Bill Stewart was hired to replace Rodriguez prior to the 2008 season.

WVIllustrated.com reported Tuesday night that the three assistants were found on Arizona’s official athletic website with information regarding their hiring today.

Reports from the Tulsa World Tuesday indicated that Oklahoma State associate head coach Joe DeForest could be Casteel’s replacement in Morgantown. According to the report, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen likes DeForest’s recruiting connections and familiarity with Big 12 Conference programs and, he could accept the offer “as early as Wednesday.”

Casteel, who runs the 3-3-5 defense, led the Mountaineers

to the third-ranked defense nationally in 2010 and three BCS bowl victories.

His name was brought up as Rodriguez’s defensive coordinator shortly after Rodriguez accepted the job at Arizona.

After the Mountaineers’ Orange Bowl victory over Clemson, Casteel said: “I hope to be back.”

In 2010, after former West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart was told he would be gone following the 2011 season, Casteel declined the defensive coordinator position at Vanderbilt.

West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck told The Daily Athenaeum last week that he could not comment on any coaching matters. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
