J.T. Thomas’ Roadtrip helps children with epilepsy
WEST VIRGINIA 65 | NO. 2 NOTRE DAME 63
SHAMROCKED
“This is a big game. We have so many new players, and after losing five players last year and almost 90 percent of our offense, for these girls to get this type of win on the road – it will do a lot for their confidence.” — WVU head coach Mike Carey
by kelsey montgomery staff writer
Chicago Bears football player and former West Virginia University linebacker J.T. Thomas brought his “Ready Ready Roadtrip” to Morgantown this weekend to encourage the community to help children who suffer from epilepsy. The J.T. Thomas Foundation teamed up with The Epilepsy Foundation for the event, which was held at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Suncrest Towne Centre Saturday. “I wanted to come out to the community here at West Virginia University and Morgantown to give back and allow the people in the area a chance to come out, get an autograph and eat some wings.That all helps out a good cause,” Thomas said. The annual “Ready Ready Road Trip” started in Thomas’ hometown of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and has traveled across the eastern United States, making a difference in children’s lives. The J.T. Thomas Foundation was created just this year, and aims to support a variety of childhood disabilities organizations through fundraising events and awareness campaigns. “The J.T. Thomas Foundation is here to promote leadership, good education and sportsmanship and to promote awareness for disabilities such as epilepsy,” Thomas said. Thomas said he was pleased with the community’s support for his cause. “We had a lot of people come out. We had Oliver Luck, Jarrett Brown and a lot of other guys

A group of West Virginia University business students are using their skills and experience to help a local nonprofit organization in need. Students are working together to support the Morgantown Area Youth Services Project and create awareness about its services. The Morgantown Area Youth Services Project aims to reduce incidences of delinquency, substance abuse and violence among youth in Monongalia County. The project offers counseling intervention, education and community services and can help students get their records expunged. The organization made $90,000 less in 2011 than it did in the previous year, and staff members took a 20 percent pay cut to compensate, said Jason Junkin, a graduate student working with the program. “Right now, their main problem is low funding. It’s the result of a struggling economy and not many people knowing they exist. Grants are drying out,” Junkin said. “Essentially, these MBA and marketing classes are helping different organizations with whatever they need.” The program offers free services to at-risk high school and middle school students who struggle with drug or alcohol abuse, and it offers counseling and rehabilitation classes to college students and adults. “The people who work there are awesome and very dedicated to helping those who need

Mon River QUEST wins regional IMPACT Award for water research by lydia nuzum
associate city editor
The Mon River QUEST, a comprehensive water quality survey administered at 16 locations along the Monongahela River, received a regional IMPACT Award from the National Institutes for Water Resources. The project, founded by the West Virginia Water Research Institute at West Virginia University, received the Mid-Atlantic Region IMPACT
Award. Mon River QUEST is an automatic nominee for the National IMPACT Award. Representatives of the seven regional IMPACT Award winners will appear at the annual National Institutes for Water Resources meeting Feb. 14 in D.C., where each will give a presentation on their project. “We’ve already had an impact, we’re growing the program, there’s a large amount of interest in the program and it’s having positive results on a major river system in our re-
gion,” said Paul Ziemkiewicz, director of the WVWRI. The Mon River QUEST began sampling in summer 2009, Ziemkiewicz said, and recorded high levels of Total Dissolved Solids in the Monongahela River and its major tributaries. Common compounds included in TDS reading are calcium, phosphates, nitrates, sodium, potassium and chloride, which can be caused by storm water and nutrient runoff, and can cause changes in the smell
and taste of drinking water. Ziemkiewicz said a contributor to high levels of TDS in the river comes from the coal industry, which pumps water from its mine sites to continue production in deep mines. The results from the organization’s surveys have been used to determine trends in the amount of TDS pumped into the river and enable the group to advise the coal industry in different ways to prevent incurring high levels of TDS.

“We’ve been able to use those results and go back to the coal industry and say, ‘Look, all of the high TDS issues we’re seeing are occurring during low-flow periods in our streams and rivers between August and November, so why don’t you guys back off your pumping during lowflow periods and pump more during high-flow periods?’” Ziemkiewicz said. “They implemented it almost immediately, and ever since, we haven’t seen any
exceedances in sulfates and TDS since January 2010.” The Monongahela River originates in north-central West Virginia and provides drinking water to nearly one million people. The river is 128 miles long and has a drainage basin of 7,340 square miles. It flows north through southwestern Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, where it meets the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River.

Santorum plans tough strategy against Romney PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A day after Mitt Romney regained some momentum in the Republican presidential contest, his rival Rick Santorum went on the attack, calling the front-runner “desperate” while promising to compete aggressively to win the state where Romney grew up. Santorum said Sunday he could do “exceptionally well” in Michigan, where Romney’s father served as governor. The Midwestern state and Arizona host Republican presidential nominating contests on Feb. 28. “We’re going to spend a lot of time in Michigan and Arizona, and those are up next. And that’s where we’ve really been focusing on,” Santorum told ABC’s “This Week.” He suggested that a strong showing in those contests would make the presidential contest

Last year, the football player
“a two-man race,” dismissing current rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Santorum shrugged off his third-place finish Saturday in caucuses in Maine, where he didn’t actively compete, as well as his second-place finish in a straw poll of conservative activists. Romney has been painting Santorum as a long-time Washington insider who pursued home-state projects. Santorum on Sunday described Romney’s recent criticism as “desperate.” “You reach a point where desperate people do desperate things,” said Santorum, who represented Pennsylvania during his 16 years in Congress, first in the House and then in the Senate. Maine GOP officials declared Romney the winner of Saturday’s caucuses. The re-
sults ended a three-state losing streak to Santorum, who swept contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri on Tuesday. With the next primaries more than two weeks away, the break seems unusually long in the rapid-fire race that’s featured six contests in the last 14 days. Romney and his rivals now have 17 days to raise cash and bolster their organizations for what’s shaping up to be a slog to the Republican nomination and the right to face President Barack Obama in November. As Santorum eyes Michigan, Romney turns his attention to extending his huge cash advantage over his rivals. The Massachusetts governor left Maine before the caucus results were announced to attend a West Coast fundraiser Saturday night.

A week prior to his arrival in Morgantown Saturday, Thomas took 14-year-old Anthony Granberry, who suffers from epilepsy, to Super Bowl XLVI. The “Ready Ready Road Trip” will make its final stop in D.C., where Thomas will give
the total money raised to The Epilepsy Foundation. Those who wish to donate to the J.T. Thomas Foundation can do so at www.jtthomasfoundation.com. Thomas encourages individuals to follow his Twitter account @TheRealJT3 for updates on his foundation. “We want to get all the support we can,” Thomas said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

People need to know that they can get help right here,” he said. “We hope to help them get their name out there and help others at the same time.”

Junkin, who serves as a WVU Resident Assistant, said the program’s services could help create a better future for students who have received citations for marijuana use or underage drinking. “Before this, I knew nothing about the Youth Services Project. As an RA, I knew students who found themselves in situations who could’ve really benefited from the services the project offers,” he said. “Students need to know this is an option, because by getting that help and possibly getting a mistake taken off their record, it can really influence their futures in a positive way.” Junkin said it’s nice to know that his college career
so far can be put to use in the real world in such a positive way. “Everything we’ve done up until this point in business classes has helped us prepare to help nonprofits like these, who might work really hard and care a lot about their cause, but don’t have the skills or resources to achieve their goals,” he said. “I was thrilled when I found out that I would be able to apply what we’re learning in class to an organization that really deserves the help.” For more information about the Morgantown Area Youth Services Project, visit http:// maysp.cfsites.org.

The Grammy Awards 2012 in review by Caitlin Graziani A&E Editor
The 2012 Grammy Awards began on a solemn note with the recent passing of Grammy winning artist Whitney Houston. Prior to Houston’s passing the awards were going to serve as a remembrance of Amy Winehouse and Etta James. The death of the three Grammy winners have left many in the musical community still reeling from shock. The 2012 Grammy’s were filled with some controversy, which included musical artist “Skrillex” and his five Grammy nominations. During the pre-telecast of the Grammy’s, Skrillex won three of the five Grammy’s that he was nominated for including: Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Remixed Recording, and Best Dance Recording. The show must go on, and nominees and celebrities alike walked the red carpet. There was much anticipation about “Best Pop Solo performance,” fan favorite Adele took home her first Grammy for “Someone Like You.” Winning “Best Rock Performance” was The Foo Fighters
with “Walk.” Rihanna rocked the stage with her latest hit “We Found Love.” The song features music by artist and producer Calvin Harris. Harris wrote “We Found Love” specifically for Rihanna. Maroon 5 took the stage singing a cover of The Beach Boys “Surfer Girl” audience members screamed as Adam Levine sung the famous bands song. The Beach Boys joined them on the stage mid-song as the crowd took to their feet as the groups sang “Good Vibrations.” Soon after their performance ended, another musical legend Stevie Wonder walked on the stage to announce the next performer. Former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney performed, earlier on in the evening McCartney won “Best Historical Album.” Chris Brown took home the Grammy for “Best R&B Album” with his album “F.A.M.E.” Adele took home her second Grammy of the night, beating out Bruno Mars and Bon Iver for “Song of the Year.” Adele then delivered an awe inspiring, tear-jerking, standing ovation performance of “Rolling In the Deep.” Adele is still recovering from a hem-
orrhaged vocal cord. Which caused her to be silent for five months and caused her to cancel her 10-stop U.S. tour. Jennifer Hudson took the stage, appearing like Whitney Houston at first glance. Hudson channeled her inner Whitney with a skin tight black dress and big hair while she sang her rendition of “I Will Always Love You.” Nicki Minaj did a performance in which she acted out an exorcism of Roman, one of Minaj’s alter ego’s. The controversial performance featured Minaj floating in the air whilst singing “Exorcism of Roman.” Adele took a clean sweep at the Grammy awards this year. Adele taking home a Grammy in every category that she was nominated for, including record of the year. While being given her final award for “Album of the Year” Adele broke into tears in front of the live audience. She gave a shout-out to her mother who could not be there as she graciously thanked fans for their support. Reminding viewers that what her album is based on is something that is totally normal that went on to create great things. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Motown gets a breath of fresh ‘Air Supply’ by cHRISTINA gUTIERREZ A&E Writer
As an unofficial start to the Valentine’s holiday, Air Supply paid tribute with a special performance last night at the West Virginia Universtiy Creative Arts Center. Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, lead singers of Air Supply, performed some of their most famous songs. The two-man band has captivated audiences all over the world for nearly 40 years with touching love songs like “Lost in Love” and “All Out of Love.” Last night was no exception. Fans from all around travelled to see the legendary duo. Kim and Kevin Carbacio, a married couple of more than 30 years, made the trip from Bridgeport to celebrate Valentine’s day. “I bought Air Supply’s 8-track for her 32 years ago and surprised her with these tickets tonight,” Kevin said, “It was the first thing I bought her for Valentine’s day.” The Carbacios were just one
of the hundreds of dazzled lovers who grew closer with each of the band’s songs. Russell and Hitchcock were also in the spirit of the holiday. “We’re so thrilled to be here and share, what we think to be some of the decade’s most beautiful love songs,” Hitchcock said. “The melodies seem to touch people all over the world.” Air Supply has certainly made their mark on the world. The band, having been at one point tied with The Beatles’ run of consecutive topfive singles, was the first Western group to tour China, Taiwan and countless other countries. More than 1,000 devoted fans came out for the once-ina-lifetime chance to see one of their favorite bands perform. “It has a lasting effect on people. They can’t seem to forget the songs,” Russell said of the band’s many hits. During its release, “Lost in Love” became the fastest-selling single in the world, only to be topped by “All Out of Love.”
Russell and Hitchcock, have been together for more than 35 years, and the duo commands and connects on stage. “We have a tremendous respect for what each other brings to the Air Supply pie. Our relationship, on every level, is very complementary,” Hitchcock said while on stage. This was immediately obvious to anyone viewing the concert last night. Russell and Hitchcock have a playfulness and sense of comfort on the stage and with their audience. “Thanks for coming out today on this day of rest. But, there won’t be any rest tonight,” Russell said. The duo had couples pouring out of the concert hall hand-in-hand. As expected, Air Supply did not disappoint. “Their voices are phenomenal,” Kevin Carbacio said. For more information on upcoming performances, you can visit cac.wvu.edu. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

A selection of chocolate covered strawberries, oreo truffles and marshmallow pops that Naticakes’s is launching in time for Valentine’s Day.
by caitlin Graziani a&E Editor
Just in time for Valentines day, Naticakes of Morgantown is launching their new line of sweets. The sweets line is just a taste of what Naticakes will be offering in their bake shop in the future. Currently, the sweets line consists of chocolate-covered strawberries, marshmallow pops and Oreo truffles. By the end of the month, Naticakes hopes to have their full bake shop up and running. The bake shop will include cupcakes, cakes and Natibites (small pieces of layered cake with frosting, dipped in chocolate). “We are going to have so much more than that,” said Jennifer Agugia, a Naticakes baker. “ It’s kind of a dream job for me. I get to go through the whole process of making the product and coming up with packaging.”
Naticakes sweets are available for pre-order and are a great last-minute gift for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate-covered strawberries are $14.99 for a six-piece gift box, marshmallow pops are one for $1.49 or three for $3.95 and Oreo truffles are 3 for $3.95. All items come clad in beautiful Naticakes packaging, which according to Agugia people have been coming in to buy just by itself. “Natalie (Naticakes) loved marshmallows. They always made her really happy; they were her favorite thing. That is why we wanted to do the marshmallow pops. We also do a marshmallow fondant on our cakes for that reason,” Agugia said. “Naticakes was made to create an everyday reminder and everlasting memory of Natalie. The sweets line is just an extension of that.” For those who would
rather just go to Naticakes for what they are best known for, frozen yogurt, they are offering four ounces of free yogurt if you kiss in front of the register for Valentine’s Day. While the sweets are available for purchase in the store, the product is on a first-come first-serve basis. Naticakes is still taking pre-orders for the sweets until further notice. As with all Naticakes products, 10 percent of their profits are donated to the Natalie Wynn Carter foundation. The foundation focuses on making the lives of children better and keeping the spirit of Naticakes alive. For more information on Naticakes and the Natalie Wynn Carter Foundation, you can visit their website at www.naticakes.com.

Acts of kindness make differences When a good deed is done, it creates an uplifting atmosphere. Both parties of the deed obtain a sense of well-being. The receiver realizes others care, and the provider of the deed feels good about making a difference in someone else’s life – even with the smallest deed. This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week, and everyone should make it a point to
participate. There is no good deed that is too big or small. Acts of kindness can be as simple as holding the door for a stranger. Other acts of kindness can include providing a care package (food, warm gloves, etc) for the homeless or donating your time at the local soup kitchen. When more people make an effort to be considerate of oth-
ers, it creates a better community for everyone. Acts of kindness are not limited – even things such as cleaning up trash along the street would be considered an act of kindness. It’s always good to see someone take initiative, and do his or her part for the environment. The point of Random Acts of Kindness Week is to promote a
more considerate world. Even when the week is over, people should keep looking out for one another. For ideas on how to become more involved, visit www.randomactsofkindness.com. The site is a great place to see how easy it is to make a difference and to share your ideas for kindness. There are various days, weeks and even months hon-
oring important individuals or spreading awareness for just causes, but this is a week in which the message should be carried throughout the year. Everyone has one life to live. Why not make yours better by helping others? You be surprised how much better you feel when you put a smile on someone else’s face. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Valentine’s Day should not involve expensive gifts danielle faipler columnist
With Valentine’s Day approaching rather quickly, I find myself thinking up clever ways of how I am going to avoid it, since I do not have the mainstream life to celebrate it. However, the history of this depressing day has me thinking: It could be worth the tiny bit of effort to celebrate it on my own terms and venture off the path of giving everyone I love superficial teddy bears and chocolates they could pick up themselves. According to www.history. com, some legends say Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, a martyr who defied the Roman emperor Claudius II. During the third century of the Roman Catholic empire, Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men because he thought single men fought better in war than married soldiers with families. Saint Valentine saw this as an injustice, so he continued to marry young couples in secrecy until Claudius II caught wind of his actions and sentenced him to death. Other stories suggest Valentine was killed for helping Christian prisoners escape Roman jails, where the first “valentine” was sent by a prisoner to a girl he fell in love with. According to History.com, the prisoner signed the greeting with the saying, “From your Valentine.” History.com also proposes Valentine’s Day was a way to commercialize the pagan festival Lupercalia, a fertility festival where the men of a village would sacrifice a goat and a dog and coat the hides with sacred blood. The men would then run through the village, touching the women with the hides. It was thought to increase fertility, so the women welcomed it. Later, during the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day was connected even further to love – England and France believed
The National Retail Federation states that the average American is going to spend $126.03, and Americans as a whole are going to waste $17.6 billion on the small mementos of Valentine’s Day. that birds’ mating season started February 14. No matter what the legend is, Valentine’s Day originated because of love, and society has most people believing it can only be celebrated with superfluous gifts and a tacky message inside a beautifully wrapped box. But love runs deeper than presents. Mainstream culture and candy companies have imprinted the idea we have to show affection through these shallow boxes of candy, or break our backs stressing over creat-
ing the perfect night. Ever since we were young, we have been confusing the feeling of getting presents with love. Valentine’s Day was one of the only days kids could give notes with kind sayings and candy to one another without them being taken away. It felt good to have one of these, even though the message was corny and did not mean anything. After continuing this tradition through the elementary school years, and partially through the middle school ones, I started to associate love with presents,
much like I had learned to associate Thanksgiving with food and a stomachache. It was not until recently I turned into a bitter woman who thinks today’s meaning of Valentine’s Day is stupid, pointless and shallow. The National Retail Federation said the average American is going to spend $126.03, and Americans as a whole are going to waste $17.6 billion on the small mementos of Valentine’s Day. I cannot understand why people go out of their way to
waste their time buying little tokens of love that are not going to mean anything 10 years down the road, especially when they can be using their time to do something useful for that person, like cleaning the house or cooking dinner. People say hate is a strong word, but love is just as strong. To love someone unconditionally, one has to accept the other’s mistakes and flaws as well as his or her strengths and attributes. Telling someone “I love you” means accepting the fact he or

she may be a bit of a narcissist or a complete slob. While it may not be desirable, it is accepted because without that quality, that person would not be the same. This Valentine’s Day, I want to show my family and friends I appreciate them and I am thankful for having them in my lives. I would not be who I am today if it had not been for them. This requires giving them more than the standard box of chocolates and a generic card saying “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
No Apology: The creation of a man and a myth barbara halla harvard political review Harvard University
“No Apology” is Romney’s first attempt at collecting his thoughts, opinions and views of the world in a coherent text for the public. Considering his past policies, which include legislation favorable for gay rights and pro-choice, many have wondered where the Republican candidate stands when it comes to both social and economic policies. Well, apparently Romney came back with a response: a more than 300 page long answer to all those questions and doubts. What makes “No Apology” stand out from his speeches or political pamphlets is not merely its book form. “No Apology” gives us for the first time a background, however biased that might be, of how
DA THEDAONLINE.COM
Romney came to believe the things he believes. “No Apology” is not a mere collection of political essays. It is first and foremost an account of the journey that led to the creation of the man and politician we know today. What really stands out on this book is his belief in the American dream and the power of America as the “modern” global empire. It is only normal for Romney to do so. Most Americans are proud of their nation and the values it represents in the world. Romney, as the man who plans to be the image of the nation, obviously cannot go against it. Nevertheless, Romney goes beyond any imaginable line of patriotism, declaring and arguing in favour of every decision taken by the American presidents in the past years, especially the military policies. In “No Apology,” Romney advocates a rebirth of the U.S. as a military power. He tries
to reason such an increase in military spending by recalling the reader of the great threats posed by current terrorist groups and authoritarian regimes. Romney wants to see the U.S. return to the military glory it used to have while he was just a child. Romney grew up in an era where the U.S. had just solidified its position as a global power just out of World War II. He went to college and graduate school during the moment the United States had indeed lost Vietnam, but was also assisting in the dismantling of communist regimes all over Eastern Europe. Such an image is difficult to shake off. Romney grew up in a privileged household. With a father who was once a successful businessman and afterward, a remarkable politician, Romney’s life looks easy. But the childhood recollections he shares are not those of a child pampered into adulthood. Romney describes the
many times his father would force him and his siblings into the most menial of jobs, starting from weeding and shovelling snow. His father taught him that “the pursuit of the difficult makes men strong,” a lesson Mitt took to heart, making of him the hard-working man at the top of his class at both Harvard Law and Harvard Business Schools. Surprisingly, Romney’s Mormon background, which has caused him so much trouble in the past, is only mentioned two or three times in the whole book. However, despite this lack, it is clear his father’s lessons translated into every projected that he undertook, whether it was the re-organization of the Olympics in Salt Lake City, or mentoring lost souls as a pastor. On another note, his religious traditions can easily be seen in his perspectives on the social policies he proposes. In the last chapters of “No Apol-
ogy”, he complains about the high number of children born out of wedlock, an issue most Republicans tend not to mention, perhaps because none are without faults when it comes to disrespecting the sanctity of marriage. But for Romney, happily married for more than 30 years and used to the Mormon view that a man and a woman should lie together not only after being legally married – but only with the purpose of bearing children to the world, such an issue is given its due importance. Yet, the same traditions that make him strive for a conservative outlook of family life have also created the more familiar man that most people tend to ignore because of his wealth. In the introduction of his book, Romney mentions being in a line inside a Wal-Mart while waiting for his turn to pay. That such a prominent figure of American politics could shop in the symbol of the
American middle class demonstrates, less the need for Romney to appeal to the average American, than it does the trust he has for the corporations built by man like himself and his former classmates and colleagues even, who decided to trust the ideal of the opportunities to be found in America. Despite his faults, Romney is not the one-dimensional, frigid politician most people make him to be. There is certainly potential in his economic ideas that should not be dismissed easily because of his background. Of course, he is not eloquent or charming, if the presidential race were instead a public speaking competition he would probably end up last, and his ideas sometimes are too straightforward for people to accept. Yet, he should not be dismissed: As much as his book frustrates you at times, it also sheds light on the man behind the face.

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you frequently discover that you are in the limelight, like it or not. With the spotlight comes additional responsibility. You might buy a home or add to your present domain. Instincts guide you with finances. Be careful. If you are single, you attract quite a few people. Date until you are absolutely sure you have met the right person. He or she most likely will show up after June 2012. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like new lovers. You could be adding to your household or family. SCORPIO is proud to know you. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Be willing to work with key people directly. You do not need a go-between. The results will speak for themselves. Honor what is happening with a child or friend, even if you do not like everything you hear. Tonight: Do not close down a conversation. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Others demand to be acknowledged, and they want more responsibility. Distance yourself and detach. You will know what to do; just do not expect automatic answers. A meeting could give you a lot of feedback, and/or a friend could decide to express his or her feelings. Tonight: Sort through invitations. Don’t be alone. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Pace yourself by making time for a walk or a visit to the gym. The better you feel, the more successful you will be. Project a strong aura of poise and understand-
ing. A discussion with a respected higherup is important. Know that your attitude could be critical. Tonight: Don’t push.
by being critical and demeaning. The time has come to end that type of thinking. Tonight: All smiles.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by the possibilities that surround you. Not only do you see the possibilities, but you also are weighing the ramifications. Others might not understand this attitude. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH Listen to what has been shared, and discuss what you want. Your sense of humor emerges - only, others might not get the message. Try not to laugh out loud or smile too broadly. Be as direct as possible yet caring in a discussion. Tonight: Play it low-key.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by personal demands or a domestic matter. Just getting out the door will take talent. A conversation gives you an indication as to where others are coming from. Tonight: Head home. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Listen to what has been said. You see life from a far more upbeat perspective. Reveal more of your thoughts. If you think the message is not getting through as you might like, try again. Others prove to be highly responsive. Tonight: Return calls. Visit with a buddy. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Your sense of what is workable could change dramatically after several conversations. You come from an anchored point of view, never questioning it. Changing from a known given could be difficult, but count on the fact that you can do it. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Honor your senses today. Your strength and charisma jog along to add to your power and ability to make a difference. You sometimes come down on yourself
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You witness the loyalty of a key person in your life. You can trust him or her to cover your back. You might make accommodations once you understand his or her strength and support. Tonight: Hang around crowds or with friends. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Take a stand, knowing your limitations. Others could feel as if you are causing them to do something they would prefer not to do. Help clear out this thinking by giving those parties permission to do whatever they need to. At first, they might not be comfortable. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Stay on top of a problem; detach and understand what’s causing it. If you can bypass reacting and just observe, all the better - you will gain. Well-placed commentary will draw strong results. Tonight: Be around music, no matter what you are doing. BORN TODAY Rock vocalist Peter Gabriel (1950), TV talk-show host Jerry Springer (1944), actor George Segal (1934)

First annual WinterFest event held at Coppers Rock by Emily Meadows A&E WRITER
Snow fell just in time for the first annual WinterFest at Cooper’s Rock State Forest Saturday. The state park opened up its day-use lot from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for WinterFest, a showcase of winter sports and activities the Morgantown area has to offer, with admission free of charge. “When a lot of people think about Morgantown winters,
they think about miserable, cold conditions. But, there’s so much this area has to offer in the winter, and I think people are getting a chance to see that here,” said Morgantown resident and volunteer Lindsay Brown. Despite this weekends’ frigid conditions, the family-friendly event offered all-day activities including low-cost crosscountry ski rental and beginner practice, and time trials
on a micro-slalom course for more experienced cross-country skiers. Beautiful wildlife-viewing stations were set up overlooking the reservoir where onlookers gazed for wildlife, such as wild turkey and deer. Experienced birder LeJay Graffious of the Audubon Society was present for most of the day to assist with bird identification and other nature tips. Kids had their share of win-
ter fun in the miniature snowman-sculpting event, where each participant used a five-gallon bucket of snow to add their own, unique snowman to the Cooper’s Rock entrance. The snow obstacle course was another big hit with the younger crowd, which featured a 200-yard-long loop adorned with volunteer-made hurdles perfectly fit for children ages 3 to 8 years old. Each participant, regardless of finish time, re-
ceived his or her favorite candy bar upon finishing the course. “I haven’t really gotten to participate in many events like this one this year because we’ve had such a mild winter, so I was happy to see that the kids and adults were able to play, get creative with the snowmen and really enjoy themselves in genuine winter conditions,” Brown said. Those who weren’t feeling as adventurous hung around
the lot to enjoy the fire, make s’mores or enjoy some cheap food and drinks. Others took a simple threemile guided walk to the Cooper’s Rock Overlook. All proceeds from the WinterFest event went to the Cooper’s Rock Foundation, which helps keep the park up and running, and makes future enhancement and opportunities possible. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
Whitney Houston: Brilliant, troubled pop star dies at age 48 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A year ago, Clive Davis’ glittery preGrammy showcase was winding down after a number of electric performances when the grandest name of all, Whitney Houston, walked on stage to close the evening with what promised to be a show-stopping tribute to her famous cousin, Dionne Warwick. Instead, what transpired was yet another troubling display of erratic behavior from the superstar, and a foreshadowing perhaps of what was to come. Though she looked spectacular, her once-stunning voice sounded frayed and hoarse. She didn’t seem to follow the rehearsed plan and looked out of sorts at times. Even when Davis, her longtime mentor and producer, announced that the show was over, Houston appeared to try to get back on the microphone, only to be stopped by Davis with the joke: “I found wyou when you were 19; I’m still your boss!” On Saturday, Houston was once again the focus of Davis’ annual party, but her presence was a posthumous one. Pop music’s former queen, until her majestic voice was ravaged by drug use and her regal image was tarnished by erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, died on the eve of the Grammy Awards she once reigned over. She was 48. Houston was pronounced dead Saturday afternoon in her
room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen said. “There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent,” he said. The cause of death was unknown, said Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster. Houston’s death came on the night before music’s biggest showcase, the Grammys. She will be remembered Sunday in a tribute by Jennifer Hudson, organizers said. Houston had been at rehearsals for the show Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it. The person said Houston looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath. At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music industry. From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen. Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she starred in hits like “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting to Exhale.” She had the perfect voice and the perfect image: a gorgeous singer who had sex appeal but was never overtly sexual, who maintained perfect poise. She influenced a generation
www.thedaonline.com
of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, who when she first came out sounded so much like Houston that many thought it was Houston. But by the end of her career, Houston became a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances. She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime. “The biggest devil is me. I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with thenhusband Brown by her side. It was a tragic fall for a superstar who was one of the top-selling artists in pop music history, with more than 55 million records sold in the United States alone. Davis, went ahead with his annual concert Saturday at the same hotel where her body was found. He dedicated the evening to her and asked for a moment of silence. Houston was supposed to appear at the gala, held downstairs in the hotel where her body lay for most of Saturday night. Aretha Franklin, her godmother, said she was stunned. “I just can’t talk about it now,”
Franklin said in a short statement. “It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen.” Houston seemed to be born into greatness. In addition to being Franklin’s goddaughter, she was the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston and the cousin of 1960s pop diva Dionne Warwick. She first started singing at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., as a child. At the church on Sunday morning, a couple of sympathy cards were tied to a fence post. “To the greatest songstress ever,” one said, and tied next to it was a small bouquet of fresh flowers. The pastor asked for strength for Houston’s family, said churchgoer Shawn Cooper, 32, of Newark. He said he hadn’t regularly attended church but felt compelled to go on this Sunday. “The Houston family means a lot to this community, they have done a lot for this community, and being there for them is the best thing we can do as a community,” he said. In her teens, Houston sang backup for Chaka Khan, Jermaine Jackson and others, in addition to modeling. It was around that time when music mogul Clive Davis first heard Houston perform. “The time that I first saw her singing in her mother’s act in a club ... it was such a stunning impact,” Davis told “Good
Singer Whitney Houston died Saturday. She was 48. Morning America.” “To hear this young girl breathe such fire into this song. I mean, it really sent the proverbial tingles up my spine,” he added. Before long, the rest of the country would feel it, too. Houston made her album debut in 1985 with “Whitney Houston,” which sold millions and spawned hit after hit. “Saving All My Love for You” brought her her first Grammy, for best female pop vocal. “How Will I Know,” “You Give Good Love” and “The Greatest Love of All” also became hit singles. Another multiplatinum album, “Whitney,” came out in 1987 and included hits like “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Her decision not to follow the more soulful inflections of singers like Franklin drew criticism by some who saw her as playing down her black roots to go pop and reach white audiences. The criticism would become a constant refrain through much of her career. She was even booed during the “Soul Train Awards” in 1989. “Sometimes it gets down to that, you know?” she told Katie Couric in 1996. “You’re not black enough for them. I don’t know. You’re not R&B enough. You’re very pop. The white audience has taken you away from them.” Some saw her 1992 marriage to former New Edition member and soul crooner Bobby Brown as an attempt to respond to those critics. It seemed to be an odd union; she was seen as pop’s pure princess while he had a bad-boy image and already had children of his own. (The couple had one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, born in 1993.) Over the years, he would be arrested several times, on charges including DUI and failure to pay child support. But Houston said their true personalities were not as far apart as people may have believed. “When you love, you love. I mean, do you stop loving somebody because you have different images? You know, Bobby and I basically come from the same place,” she told Rolling Stone in 1993. “You see somebody, and you deal with their image, that’s their image. It’s part of them, it’s not the whole picture. I am not always in a sequined gown. I am nobody’s angel. I can get down and dirty. I can get raunchy.” Brown was getting ready to perform at a New Edition reunion tour in Southaven, Miss., as news spread about Houston’s death. The group went ahead with its performance, though Brown appeared overcome with emotion when his voice cracked at the beginning of a ballad and he left the stage. Before his departure, he told the sell-out crowd: “First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all. Second, I would like to say, I love you, Whitney. The hardest
AP
thing for me to do is to come on this stage.” Brown said he decided to perform because fans had shown their loyalty to the group for more than 25 years. During an intermission, one of Houston’s early hits, “You Give Good Love,” played over the speakers. Fans stood up and began singing along. It would take several years for the public to see the “down and dirty” side of Houston. Her moving 1991 rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl, amid the first Gulf War, set a new standard and once again reaffirmed her as America’s sweetheart. In 1992, she became a star in the acting world with “The Bodyguard.” Despite mixed reviews, the story of a singer (Houston) guarded by a former Secret Service agent (Kevin Costner) was an international success. It also gave her perhaps her most memorable hit: a searing, stunning rendition of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” which sat atop the charts for weeks. It was Grammy’s record of the year and best female pop vocal, and the “Bodyguard” soundtrack was named album of the year. She returned to the big screen in 1995-96 with “Waiting to Exhale” and “The Preacher’s Wife.” Both spawned soundtrack albums, and another hit studio album, “My Love Is Your Love,” in 1998, brought her a Grammy for best female R&B vocal for the cut “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.” But during these career and personal highs, Houston was using drugs. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, she said by the time “The Preacher’s Wife” was released, “(doing drugs) was an everyday thing. ... I would do my work, but after I did my work, for a whole year or two, it was every day. ... I wasn’t happy by that point in time. I was losing myself.” In the interview, Houston blamed her rocky marriage to Brown, which included a charge of domestic abuse against Brown in 1993. They divorced in 2007. Houston would go to rehab twice before she would declare herself drug-free to Winfrey in 2009. But in the interim, there were missed concert dates, a stop at an airport due to drugs, and public meltdowns. She was so startlingly thin during a 2001 Michael Jackson tribute concert that rumors spread she had died the next day. Her crude behavior and jittery appearance on Brown’s reality show, “Being Bobby Brown,” was an example of her sad decline. Her Sawyer interview, where she declared “crack is whack,” was often parodied. She dropped out of the spotlight for a few years. Houston staged what seemed to be a successful comeback with the 2009 album “I Look To You.” The album debuted on the top of the charts, and would eventually go platinum.

A frustrated Deniz Kilicli looks on from the bench at the end of West Virginia’s 77-74 loss to No. 23 Louisville. Kilicli fouled out after scoring 17 points against the Cardinals.
West Virginia gives up 10-point lead in second half, falls to No. 23 Louisville 77-74 by john terry managing editor
West Virginia was in desperate need of a win Saturday against No. 23 Louisville for its NCAA tournament resume. And, for most of the game, it looked like it was going to happen. But it didn’t. West Virginia blew an 11-point second-half lead
to fall in the closing minutes to the Cardinals 77-74 at the Coliseum with Louisville finishing the game on a 13-3 run. “We didn’t do the things we had to do,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Our margin for error is not very great. They’re trying, but we just have to stop all the ‘ifs’ and ‘buts.’” With the Mountaineers
leading 71-64, Louisville scored four straight to pull back within three, 71-68, with 3:55 to play. Louisville senior Kyle Kuric then tied up the game with a 3-pointer at the 3:55 mark. On the inbounds, senior guard Truck Bryant was pushed over, and Louisville snatched up the ball to take the 73-71 lead – its first since the 11:31 mark of the first half.
“It happens. Everybody is going to feel like they didn’t get the calls they deserved,” said WVU senior Kevin Jones. “That’s just how the game goes. “When you’re allowed to play that way, I think it’s a great strategy,” Huggins said about Louisville’s full-court pressure defense.

Sophomore guard Brooke Hampton made two free throws with four seconds remaining to defeat No. 2 Notre Dame 65-63 Sunday in South Bend, Ind. The Mountaineers (18-6, 8-3 Big East) defeated a top-five team for the first time since 2009, when they beat Louisville, and for the third time under head coach Mike Carey. Notre Dame (24-2, 11-1 Big East) was the highest ranked opponent West Virginia has beaten in program history. It was the Irish’s first Big East loss of the season and first loss in the last 21 games. “It’s a great win for us,” Carey said. “They are well-coached matt sunday/the daily athenaeum and have great players.

I thought they came in here with a tough crowd. Nine thousand or more people and a great atmosphere, but our players came in and did a great job.” WVU junior center Asya Bussie led the team with 22 points and eight rebounds, while also going 10-of-13 from the freethrow line. Bussie scored two straight baskets in the final minutes of the game, including the tying bucket before Hampton’s two free throws to end the game. “Coming into the game, we were focused,” Bussie said. “We prepared all week, focused on the scout and did what we had to do to get the win.” Notre Dame junior point guard Skylar Diggins led all players, scoring a career-high 32 points in the game. Senior forward Devereaux Peters led all players with 17 rebounds, scoring four points. But, Peters fouled out of the game with less

Hear that chomping sound? That would be the melody of Mountaineer fans biting their nails. Why the bad nerves? After a heart-breaking defeat to No. 23 Louisville Saturday, the West Virginia men’s basketball team is in danger of missing the NCAA tournament for
the first time under head coach Bob Huggins. The Mountaineers have lost five of their last six games, and I think this is as good a time as any to look at this team’s NCAA tournament resume. At 16-10 overall, West Virginia is currently 6-7 in Big East Conference play. Key wins would include one against No. 9 Georgetown, Kansas State and Miami. Realistically, the Mountaineers only have two bad losses – Kent State and St. John’s.
Now, let’s look into the RPI, which seems to be a major determinant of the at-large bids. WVU is holding strong at No. 40 in the RPI and has the seventh-toughest strength of schedule. However, Huggins’ team is only 3-7 against the RPI top 50, but is 9-9 against the RPI top 100. The Mountaineers also only have one loss to a team currently outside RPI top 100 – St. John’s.

Junior center Ayana Dunning chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds alongside Bussie in the post for WVU. The Mountaineers outrebounded the Irish 41-33. West Virginia was down by 11 points with 12 minutes remaining in the second half, and it looked like the Irish was going to pull away, but a pair of free throws and a layup by freshman forward Jess Harlee and a big three-pointer by freshman guard Akilah Bethel got the Mountaineers back within four. “I told the girls, ‘don’t quit,’ ” Carey said. “I said, ‘I don’t care

Continued from page 13 So, what I’m saying is West Virginia still has a strong NCAA tournament resume, and there is still plenty of time left to secure an at-large bid.

It was pretty much my fault we lost today,” Kilicli said. “I’ve never done that in my life. I take full responsibility.” The Cardinals were hot from 3-point range early, hitting five from distance in the first nine minutes. But, West Virginia found a way to stay close and trailed just 20-18 with 11:31 remaining. West Virginia used a 12-0
if you foul out, but I better not see you quit playing hard.’ Just keep playing like we practice to do and they kept believing, believing, believing. I think our girls deserve a lot of credit to come into this atmosphere and play like we did.” Behind Diggins and Natalie Novosel, who had 16 points, the next highest scorers for the Irish were Kayla McBride and Natalie Achonwa, who both had four points. The Mountaineer defense could not contain Notre Dame’s best player, but did enough to stop the rest of the team in the second half to successfully make the comeback it needed to win. “We did a good job switching and didn’t give them the high-low at times and made them come over the top for the switch. My biggest concern was we were fouling people 50 feet
from the bucket and put them at the line. We have to play smarter than that. I think our girls did a great job,” Carey said. WVU redshirt sophomore guard Christal Caldwell finished with 10 points and four rebounds, before fouling out late in the second half. Sophomore guard Taylor Palmer also added nine points, five rebounds and three assists. Hampton finished with four points, all from the charity stripe. WVU was outscored 32-16 in the paint and committed 21 turnovers in the game, but managed to get 16 points from its bench. “We have to build on this,” Carey said. “We cannot be satisfied with it. We have five more games to play and a long way to go.”
standings get a first-round bye for the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden. With all of this being said, I have a message for the old gold-and-blue faithful: Don’t throw in the towel. The last four losses have come by a combined 15 points, and the Mountaineers have held a lead late in the second half of all of them. And, well, let’s just say some officiating hasn’t helped the cause. If this team wins three of its final five games, which is very possible, and wins one game
in the Big East Tournament, I think it will safely secure an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. The only on-court adjustment that needs to be made is to close out games. It is obvious the team has proven it can compete with the top teams in the country (i.e., Baylor, Syracuse, Georgetown). So, save those nails. You may need them during a back-and-forth ending to a game in the 2012 NCAA tournament.
run midway through the first half spurred by back-toback Kilicli and Hinds dunks to jump out to a 30-20 lead with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half. The Mountaineers continued to pour it on and led 40-27 after an Aaron Brown basket, but the Cardinals fought back in the final three minutes of the first half. West Virginia junior Dominique Rutledge was able to tip in a basket in the closing seconds of the half to give the Mountaineers a 44-37 lead at the break. It’s the first time since 2005 West Virginia has lost three consecutive games at home.

No. 24 WVU takes second in quad meet by sebouh majarian sports writer
patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum
Redshirt senior Matt Ryan, right, helps lead the WVU wrestling team to a win over Ohio over the weekend.
Mountaineers dominate Ohio, 36-3 by amit batra sports writer
The West Virginia men’s wrestling team opened up a stretch of road matches in Athens, Ohio, to take on the Ohio Bobcats. Coming off of a loss against Pitt, the Mountaineers have three dual meets left before the Eastern Wrestling League Championships. In its final nonconference dual meet of the season, WVU was in a dominating fashion 36-3. The Mountaineers won seven consecutive matches and built an impressive 27-0 lead. The dual meet started in the 184-pound division, which is different from the usual circumstances. “I don’t normally like to start at any other weight class than 125 pounds, but our guys seemed to respond,” said head coach Craig Turnbull. “We won a couple close matches, and our guys handled themselves well in front of an away crowd.” Redshirt senior Matt Ryan got things started under-
way at 184. He took an early lead 7-1 after a quick takedown. The Mountaineers also were able to get a spark from 197-pound redshirt sophomore Mancuso in his return following an injury. Mancuso earned a pair of near falls and built a 7-1 early lead. Mancuso earned a takedown and the victory 10-2 via decision. “I felt good in my return, and I felt a little more loose than I am used to,” Mancuso said. “I didn’t feel stiff, and I let things go a little more. It was an all-around good day.” WVU didn’t let the foot off of the gas pedal. Heavyweight Brandon Williamson followed with a 5-1 decision. In the final 15 seconds, Williamson was able to obtain three near fall points. The lightweights set the tempo, however. At 125 pounds, junior Shane Young got to a good start with a 4-0 lead. He continued to maintain the pace in the match and closed things out in a 7-3 decision. The two most impres-
sive wins came from redshirt sophomore Nathan Pennesi (133) and 141-pound sophomore Michael Morales. Pennesi earned his 24th victory, the team’s most, in a 15-0 dismantling of Ohio’s Drew Hammer. Morales was able to pin opponent Darin Boing in the first period. The only loss of the night that came for WVU was at 157. Redshirt senior Kyle Eason was also able to earn a pin, and redshirt junior Lance Bryson earned a 5-1 decision victory over ranked opponent No. 18 Nick Purdue. “It felt great to be on the other side of a close decision against a ranked opponent,” Bryson said. “A win like this will help me build confidence and momentum as we head into the Eastern Wrestling League tournament and NCAA tournament.” WVU improves to 7-4 as they end the dual meet season next weekend at Edinboro and Cleveland State. Ohio falls to 3-6.
It didn’t matter how many other teams were there, and it definitely didn’t matter they were ranked higher. The only thing that mattered for the No. 24 West Virginia gymnastics team was the point they were trying to make to themselves that they can dance, flip, swing and balance with the best of them. A couple uncharacteristic stumbles on floor in the final rotation might have cost the team a first-place finish, but scores aside the team knows they can compete with anybody. The Mountaineers (7-3, 3-0 EAGL) placed second during the team’s “pink” quad-meet against No. 11 Ohio State (7-2, 2-2 Big Ten), No. 13 Auburn (38, 0-4 SEC) and Ball State (1-7, 0-3 MAC). The Buckeyes took first place with a score of 195.45, while the Mountaineers trailed in second with 195.175 as the Tigers (193.65) and Cardinals (191.775) finished third and fourth. The 1,500 fans in attendance, most of whom wore pink to support breast cancer awareness, were treated to an action-packed show with all four teams competing at the same time. All the action wasn’t detrimental to the team who was focused on proving their point that they belong in the conversation with the top teams in the nation. “Actually, I thought the meet was run at a good pace, and we made a comment here at the end that the girls didn’t know if they had won or lost, they didn’t even know what the team score was,” said head coach Jason Butts. “They didn’t pay attention to it and it was good, and they handled the distractions very well today.” The Mountaineers scored
higher than their average season score of 194.365. The Mountaineers rebounded from a tough 194.65194.05 loss at No. 22 Michigan a week ago. Two falls on the beam cost the team a potential win, but what was more surprising was that it came on one of the team’s strongest events. “It’s very uncharacteristic for us to have those stumbles because we’re a very strong floor team,” Butts said. “I’m not sure what happened, but we can fix whatever it was in practice this week and figure out where the wheels fell off on that one.” The Mountaineers, who have struggled on the bars this season, found their groove and set a season-high on the event with a 48.975. Kaylyn Millick and Hope Sloanhoffer led the team with matching 9.85 scores. “We’ve really been focusing on bars in the gym, and it really came together today,” Butts said. “Bars is the last piece of the puzzle that needed to come together because we’ve already got 49-plus on the other three events, so to have a season-high today we know the final piece of the puzzle is there, and we can carry that into Maryland next weekend.” Erica Smith returned from an injury that kept her out last weekend against the Wolverines with a career high score of 9.825. Sloanhoffer scored her fourth straight 39.0-plus mark in the all-around with a 39.175. It was also the fifth time in six meets she has done so. “She’s very calm in competition, very calm under pressure, and she had a great routines, and she’s a great anchor for us on bars,” Butts said. WVU came into the meet ranked No. 20 on vault, averaging a score of 48.845. The team posted a score of 49.075 bettering their average on their way to winning/losing the event. The
team was led by senior Tina Maloney, who received a score of 9.9. With a score of 9.85, Chelsea Goldschrafe set a new career high on vault, upping her previous score of 9.825. Alaska Richardson continued her solid junior season scoring a 9.8 on the apparatus. Through the second rotation, the Mountaineers held a slight advantage against the second place Buckeyes 98.05-9.625. The Tigers (96.825) and Cardinals (95.8) trailed in third and fourth place, respectively. In her sixth career all-around competition and the first this season, Millick performed admirably on all events scoring a 9.85 on bars, 9.825 on beam, a 9.725 on vault and 9.6 on floor. “We showed we’re just as good as Auburn, because we beat them, and we showed we’re just as good as Ohio State,” Butts said. “We had a couple stumbles here and there that put us out of contention to win it. “We showed we’re a great team today, and we fought through some adversity and this team just keeps proving that they’re going to fight no matter what happens.” Last week, Goldschrafe competed in the all-around, while Millick competed on bars and beam placing fourth on both events. “(Depth is) a great problem to have, Kaylyn did a great job in the all-around for the first time this year,” Butts said. “She stepped up today and did a great job. “I’ve been in and out of a couple events, but vault is the one I’ve been an alternate for all year, so I was surprised but glad that he put me in because I’ve been working hard in the gym so it’s good to see that,” Millick said. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

Thursday, February 16, 2012 7:30 p.m. Mountainlair Ballroom
Ford is the author of More Davids Than Goliaths, a New York Times bestseller. Reflecting on what he’s learned from his extended political family, the slings and arrows of the campaign trail and those across our nation who inspire him, the book explains Ford’s conviction that “at its best, leadership in government can solve, inspire and heal.” He reminds us that in America there are more Davids than Goliaths, more solutions than problems, more that unites us than divides us.
Ford’s talk is part of WVU’s celebration of Black History Month. He will sign copies of More Davids Than Goliaths immediately following his remarks. The WVU Barnes and Noble Bookstore will have books available for purchase at the event. Sign language interpretation is provided at all events courtesy of the WVU Office of Disability Services"
