BOG member attends State of the Union by mackenzie mays city editor

Senator Jay Rockefeller invited West Virginia University Board of Governors member Diane Lewis to the U.S. Capitol Tuesday night to attend the State of the Union address to Congress.

Rockefeller, who has worked to improve the state’s economy through promotion of small business, invited Lewis, a business owner herself, to help elevate the Small Business Administration to a more prominent role within the government.

Lewis is the president and CEO of Action Facilities Management, Inc., a company dedicated to providing full-service staffing and logistical support for facilities across the country.

She founded AFM in 2001 in the basement of her Morgantown home, with her 17-yearold son acting as her first employee.

Now, the company has 218 employees in West Virginia and nine other states.

More than 95 percent of employees in West Virginia – nearly 600,000 people – work for small businesses.

Univ. takes action during Stalking Awareness Month by carlee lammers staff writer

The West Virginia University Police Department has teamed up with the Morgantown Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center, the Office for Social Justice and WELLWVU to promote Stalking Awareness Month.

“There’s a high percentage of domestic violence and sexual assault cases that comes from stalking – about 75 percent of cases stem from stalking,” said UPD Sergeant Peggy Runyon.

The University organizations joined together Tuesday to host an informational booth in the Mountainlair to get the word out to students about stalking by teaching them the signs of a potential stalker and providing information on the resources available to report a case.

“We want students to be aware that these things do happen,” Runyon said. “We want to encourage them to take their safety seriously.”

West Virginia law defines stalking as “any person who repeatedly follows another knowing or having reason to know that the conduct causes the person followed the reasonable fear for his or her

safety or suffer significant emotional distress.”

Runyan said today’s technology now allows personal information to be more accessible to the public – especially with social networking sites such as Facebook.

“Something we really like to stress now with technology is telling students to take their personal information off of Facebook,” she said. “As innocent as it may seem, these are things some people can fixate on. Make sure you take down your personal information.”

WELLWVU Graduate Assistant Kimberly Greenfield said stalking incidents often go unreported due to the fact that cases are often misinterpreted as innocent.

However, Greenfield said those who suspect they are being stalked should take immediate action and report the incident before it escalates.

“It almost always starts out as something innocent. It can seem normal,” she said. “But, you should always speak up and report it.”

Runyon said the RDVIC has supplied local police department with stalking kits.

Each kit contains a disposable camera, disposable

Daniel J. Robison, associate dean for research and professor of forestry and environmental resources at North Carolina State University, has been named dean of the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Design at West Virginia University.

Robison said he was inspired to apply for the dean position after experiencing the uniqueness of Davis College’s programs.

“WVU and the Davis College have a fantastic set of programs. It seems the combination of agriculture, natural resources and design gives the Davis College a nationwide, unique perspective of study and research,” he said. “I saw those things, and I said ‘I’d like to apply there, and see if it’s a good fit.’”

A search committee headed by Robert Jones, dean of WVU’s Eberly College, selected Robison for the prestigious position from a pool of applicants who visited WVU in November and

December.

Rudy Almasy has been serving as the interim dean in Davis College since July 2011. Robison will formally replace Almasy as dean May 31.

Although leadership is an important part of a dean’s responsibilities, Robison said his focus was on the students and faculty.

“Leadership does matter, but only if the people in the organization are part of the process. The important thing at a university is to bring faculty and students to work together,” he said.

Robison said he is enthusiastic about participating in ongoing and future projects at the Davis College.

“It’s less about what I bring directly to the school and more about what ideas we can generate together once I get there,” he said.

Robison said his perspective is influenced by the work of Gro Harlem Brundtland, former prime minister of Norway and the chairwoman of a commission that coined the term “sustainable development” in

Rockefeller said Lewis is the perfect person to help him lead small businesses in the right direction.

“Diane is exactly the type of energetic, smart small business leader that can spark the economy and lead the way toward new job creation and success,” he said. “Her story is an inspiration to me. I am pleased to offer her a ticket to the State of

Have you ever wanted to fire a musket in front of thousands of Mountaineer fans?

Applications for the 201213 Mountaineer Mascot are now available. The Mountaineer Mascot must be a full-time West Virginia University student and maintain a GPA of 2.5.

The Mountaineer is required to attend all home football and men’s and women’s basketball games, as well as other events and appearances throughout their term.

He or she will also travel to specific away games decided

by the University and is also asked to go to as many other sporting events as they can, said Sonja Wilson, Mountaineer Mascot adviser and senior programming administrator of Mountainlair.

“The Mountaineer needs to be very organized,” Wilson said.

“They make a lot of appearances, around 250 per year, and that’s outside the realm of athletics. They go to the Children’s Hospital, schools and numerous other community events, so there’s a huge time commitment involved.”

Wilson said the Mountaineer is a role model and needs to be a well-rounded individual who is outgoing, dedicated and full

“The Mountaineer not only represents the University but also the entire state,” Wilson said. “Once you become the Mountaineer, you are the Mountaineer whether you have the buckskin on or not. You have to remember that at all times because you’re judged and identified accordingly when you’re in class or on the street.”

A committee of fellow WVU students and faculty members will begin reviewing applications in mid-February.

They will interview no more than 10 prospective candidates on Feb. 18, Wilson said, and will select four finalists who will au-

dition for the position by participating in a cheer-off during the men’s home basketball game against Marquette on Feb. 24.

During the tryout, the candidates will get to wear the buckskins and members of the selection committee will judge the candidate’s performance and crowd interaction.

The judges will combine the application, interview and try-out scores to determine the 2012-2013 Mountaineer Mascot.

The new Mountaineer will be announced in the second half of the men’s basketball game against DePaul on Feb. 28.

STATE OF THE UNION

Wednesday January 25, 2012

President Barack Obama: American dream in peril, fast action needed WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama called Tuesday night for a flurry of help for a hurting middle class and higher taxes on millionaires, delivering a State of the Union address packed with re-election themes. Restoring a fair shot for all, Obama said, is “the defining issue of our time.”

Obama outlined a vastly different vision for fixing the country than the one pressed by the Republicans challenging him in Congress and fighting to take his job in the November election. He pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule.

Obama offered steps to help students afford college, a plan for more struggling homeowners to refinance their homes and tax cuts for manufacturers.

He threw in politically appealing references to accountability, including warning universities they will lose federal aid if they don’t stop tuition from soaring.

Standing in front of a divided Congress, with bleak hope this election year for much of his legislative agenda, Obama spoke with voters in mind.

“We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” Obama said. “Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.”

A rare wave of unity splashed over the House chamber at the start. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, survivor of an assassination attempt one year ago, received sustained applause from her peers and cheers of “Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.” She blew a kiss to the podium. Obama em-

The WOW! Factory is offering a half-price special through the month of January for those who want to paint a soup bowl for the charity event.

Doing this creates a great opportunity for school children and others to get creative while giving back, Muttillo said.

“We have a great community that supports the event,” Muttillo said. “The soups and breads are donated by local restaurants within the county, and we have many local churches that donate cookies.”

The message of the luncheon is to remember those who are less fortunate, she said.

“The content of all of this is that you will remember that there are people who are hungry when you open the cupboard and look at the empty bowl that you received here,” Muttillo said.

Lawmakers leapt to their feet when Obama said near the start of his speech that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, killed by a raid authorized by the president, will no longer threaten America.

At the core of Obama’s address was the improving but deeply wounded economy — the matter still driving Americans’ anxiety and the one cheon was held in 2007 at the First Presbyterian Church. It has become such a successful event that it was moved to the Mylan Park Expo Center in 2011 to accommodate all the supporters and organizations.

“When you start looking at statistics of who is need and seeing how those numbers are rising, this is an awesome event,” Muttillo said. “We raised over $20,000 last year towards local food pantries.”

She said staff and students of WVU have also helped the luncheon become a success over the years.

“WVU has been a great supporter,” Muttillo said. “Their food services are always involved and they really help us out a lot.”

Those who wish to get involved can visit the luncheon, set for Feb. 25., or paint an empty bowl at the WOW! Factory, located in Star City next to United Bank for $8.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Hazel and J.W. Ruby Community Center at Mylan Park. that Senator Rockefeller wants to hear from us on how to make it even better,” Lewis said. “Once the incentives are put in place and access programs are known to those who may want to start a new business, we can thrive from new growth, and keep the economy strong.”

Lewis said she’s not taking her chance to be a part of the State of the Union Address for granted and hopes to take what she’s learned and use it in her everyday professional life.

“President Obama’s vision is to assist the small businesses going forward. I want to learn what programs there are that

likely to determine the next presidency.

“The state of our union is getting stronger,” Obama said, calibrating his words as millions remain unemployed. Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is “within our reach” was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet.

He spoke of restoring basic

goals: owning a home, earning enough to raise a family, putting a little money away for retirement.

“We can do this,” Obama said. “I know we can.” He said Americans are convinced that “Washington is broken,” but he also said it wasn’t too late to cooperate on important matters.

Republicans were not impressed. They applauded infrequently, though they did cheer

when the president quoted “Republican Abraham Lincoln” as saying: “That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves — and no more.”

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, offering the formal GOP response, called Obama’s policies “pro-poverty” and his tactics divisive.

“No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder

may help us to work together so that I can afford to hire more people,” she said. “West Virginia people are honest, hardworking individuals that take pride in their work. We are fortunate to have Senator Rockefeller representing our state because he understands how much we care and take pride in our state.”

Lewis said her experiences as an entrepreneur have not only allowed her to give back to the state of West Virginia, but help her contribute to WVU as a successful member of the BOG. “As an entrepreneur living in West Virginia, I understand

the economy and the cost of a good education. There are a lot of financial decisions that we as board members discuss and it has a large impact on the economy and the financial cost to the students that attend WVU,” she said.

“I try to look at the best value as far as the investment into the University, and always consider the impact within the state. The students are always foremost. Employers are looking for bright, energetic candidates that can add value to their business.”

than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others,” Daniels said in excerpts released before the address.

In a signature swipe at the nation’s growing income gap, Obama called for a new minimum tax rate of at least 30 percent on anyone making over $1 million. Many millionaires — including one of his chief rivals, Republican Mitt Romney — pay a rate less than that because they get most of their income from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate.

“Now you can call this class warfare all you want,” Obama said, responding to a frequent criticism from the GOP presidential field. “But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense.”

Obama calls this the “Buffett rule,” named for billionaire Warren Buffett, who has said it’s unfair that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does. Emphasizing the point, Buffett’s secretary, Debbie Bosanek, attended the address in first lady Michelle Obama’s box.

Obama underlined every proposal with the idea that hard work and responsibility still count. He was targeting independent voters who helped seal his election in 2008 and the frustrated masses in a nation pessimistic about its course.

In a flag-waving defense of American power and influence abroad, Obama said the U.S. will safeguard its own security “against those who threaten our citizens, our friends and our interests.” On Iran, he said that while all options are on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon — an implied threat to use military force — “a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible.” has been recognized as a professor, director of several research programs and initiatives, and of extension and outreach activities with other universities, including University of Alaska-Fairbanks and East Carolina University.

‘Reign of Terror’ Sleigh Bells After exploding onto the indie scene with their noisy debut “Treats,” Sleigh Bells returned with their sophomore effort “Reign of Terror.”

Picking up right where “Treats” left off, Sleigh Bells continue their infectious formula of drowning Alexis Krauss’s angelic vocals in layers of Derek Miller’s distorted guitar. Mixing pop sensibility and punk sonics, “Reign of Terror” delivers exactly what fans are expecting – a blistering noise assault with a candy-sweet center.

Essentially, Sleigh Bells is a pop band making pop songs. If it were not for all the feedback and leather jackets, Krauss has a voice that can stand alongside any of pop’s A-listers.

For the latest perfect blend of sweet and sour, check out Sleigh Bell’s latest release, “Reign of Terror,” on Mom + Pop Music.

‘Alone III: The Pinkerton Years ’ Rivers Cuomo Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo is a weird guy. A really, really weird guy. Need proof?

Check out Weezer’s eighth studio album, “Hurley,” named after the large, loveable “Lost” character. Or their Rick Rubin-produced cover of Toni Braxton’s “Un-break My Heart.” He’s famously talked about his long bouts of self-induced celibacy and obsessive tendencies.

But the weirdest example of Cuomo’s odd behavior has to be “Across the Sea,” from “Pinkerton” which documents his longing for a young Japanese fan.

To help fans and critics delve deeper into his psyche, Cuomo has complied “Alone III: The Pinkerton Years,” the latest in a sting of previously vaulted home recordings documenting a particular phase in his career.

The deluxe version of this elaborate box set comes with a copy the “The Pinkerton Diaries,” Cuomo’s notes and journal entries from the time the recordings were made.

For the obsessive Weezer fan or for those who are just curious, the latest batch of Cumomo’s tapes provide an interesting insight into his process and methods.

Every year, there’s a new batch of unsigned hype vying for the attention of the press and generating blog coverage. Leading the 2012 pack is Harlem’s Azealia Banks, a former off-Broadway performer, whose self-released single, “212,” has been making rounds on the Internet.

In its accompanying video, Banks exhibits her duel style of hardcore rap and Rihanna-esque vocals .

Although Banks has yet to produce a full-length work, she’s been busy cranking out a string of singles, each displaying more promise then the last.

Currently, Banks is using the hype to her advantage, flaunting her clever rhymes and pitch perfect pipes in YouTube videos and SoundClound streams. On the strength of this alone, Banks is being asked for interviews and giving sold-out shows.

The music business in the digital age has a quick turnaround, so we should be expect Bank’s debut to drop at any moment.

The Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela dropped their fifth studio album “Area 52” Tuesday.

Upon hearing the first song on the album “Santo Domingo,” I was pleasantly surprised to hear a bigband type sound and dueling guitars.

The fast-paced loud and flashy “Hanuman” brings out Mexican heritage, but makes one want to rock out. I’m nothing short of surprised when it comes to this duo with C.U.B.A. backing them up in a variety of instruments to add further Mexican-style choruses and big-band solos.

The duo’s fast, perfect guitarpicking solos bring so much to the lyricless tracks that I don’t miss listening to words. Rodrigo y Gabriela are telling a story with their fingers and a guitar.

“Diablo Rojo” brings a smoother sound with a flute solo mid-song – it almost tells a love story with its poignant high notes. This song was probably my favorite from the album, and it wasn’t just because of the flute solo. It had great changes between fast choruses and exposed solos.

To someone who hasn’t heard Rodrigo y Gabriela before, it’s a mixture of the Frank Sinatra big-band era, mixed with Santana and a mariachi band.

A trip into Polish cinema with cult classic ‘Sexmission’ Carol Fox

Copy Desk chief

Imagine if Judd Apatow made science-fiction films in the ’80s, and he was Polish – “Sexmission” (Seksmisja) is the film he would have made.

Directed, produced and cowritten by Juliusz Machulski, a director famous for satirical comedies, “Sexmission” has become a cult classic in Polish cinema.

The movie opens up with a press conference in 1991, which was held because scientists have discovered a way to place humans in a cryo-

genic hibernation that will slow down the aging process, keeping diseased human bodies intact until a later date when scientists have discovered ways to cure them.

It is announced that two men have volunteered to be placed in hibernation. The volunteers are the goofy, tracksuit-wearing Maks Paradys, played by Polish film legend Jerzy Stuhr, and straightlaced, quiet Albert Starski, played by the handsomeOlgierd Lukaszewicz.

Upon waking up from hibernation, Maks and Albert find themselves prisoners of a particularly young and gorgeous group of women who have made an underground

metro area their home.

The men are told by one of the women that there was a war while they were hibernating, it is now the year 2044, and that they are the only men in existence … the rest are extinct.

The same scientist who developed the hibernation process developed a reagent that was supposed to paralyze male genes, thus ending the war, but it destroyed them instead.

Initially Maks and Albert are in disbelief. How could the women have survived? How do the women breed? Who does all of the grunt work?

The men are worried they are hallucinating.

Maks starts to realize, however, the potential advantages they might glean from their new circumstances after watching a televised post-victory sport ritual in which the women all exchange shirts.

In a world with no men, Maks thinks no one will be able to compete with them sexually.

He decides to check out his theory by wooing their attendant, Lamia, played by Bozena Stryjkowna. He kisses Lamia on the mouth, and, while she instinctively dropkicks him, she is clearly shaken by his advances.

Albert and Maks are taken to see the leader of the underground city, who is referred to as Her Excellency, and it is there they learn that the women are taught to detest and fear men.

Facts have been changed – it was Adam who tempted Eve in the garden of Eden, Cain killed his sister Abel, and Copernicus and Einstein were women. Also, after their meeting with Her Excellency, Maks and Albert learn they will not be allowed to continue life as they have been.

A trial is held to determine whether the men will be eliminated or just “naturalized,” which essentially means they will be surgically transformed into women.

While the trial is being deliberated, the men escape

by kissing their guards into submission.

Lamia, meanwhile, has learned more about men and finds herself preoccupied by thoughts of Maks and his kiss.

She decides to help them escape from the underground city and go with them, but the world outside appears to be a harsh moon-like landscape, apparently devastated by the war.

The three escape, but are followed by another woman, and all four of the escapees learn that the view from below ground was actually a rouse established by Her Excellency, who ends up being a man in drag.

He survived the war as a child and has had to live as a woman ever since, enjoying – of course – the joys of being surrounded by gorgeous women.

While I’m on the topic of beautiful women, you should know that if you find nudity offensive, this is not the film for you. In a world with no masculine presence, the women have gotten quite comfortable with their bodies and find it easier to swim completely naked and perform topless acrobatics.

In the end, Maks, Albert and their respective women make plans to repopulate the earth, above ground, making a deal with Her Excellency to keep his secret quiet in exchange

for peace in their new lives.

But they don’t live up to their end of the bargain, as they sneak into the birthing center below ground and implant a few of them – and a baby boy is born.

While there is obviously some social and political commentary involved, this isn’t why you should watch this film.

There are really good films out there, even really good Polish films, that will tackle issues of gender role stereotypes and anti-communist rhetoric in more realistic and meaningful ways. “Sexmission” brings about the hilarious and ridiculous, and this is why you should watch the movie.

Because it was made in 1984, the soundtrack is fantastically awful, the clothes are tacky, and the future technology absurd looking – which all makes for a seriously funny film. You’ll be so busy laughing, you won’t even notice the subtitles.

Anyone who likes scifi movies, especially comedic cult films such as “Ghostbusters” or “Cherry 2000,” will definitely want to give this movie a try.

Get a copy of “Sexmission” to watch this weekend through Netflix or Blockbuster’s online DVD exchange programs. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Obama’s blueprint relies on Congress Tuesday night President Barack Obama gave his third State of the Union address to the nation, in which he laid out his “blueprint for an economy built to last.”

The president began with a list of his administration’s accomplishments, such as ending the Iraq War, killing Osama bin Laden, saving the auto industry and the creation of an estimated 3 million jobs over the past 3 years.

He also touched on many of the issues plaguing our economical and political structures. Problems with industry,

education, immigration, foreign policy, government regulation and the ineffectiveness of Washington were all carefully explained – along with proposed solutions.

While one could say much of the speech would be standard for any State of the Union Address (more jobs, better education, etc.), many of Obama’s solutions were tossed in the lap of Congress, which has been the “wet blanket” of the nation’s progress over the past couple of years. According to www. realclearpolitics.com, the approval rating of Congress is

hovering around a pathetic 13 percent.

Obama challenged Congress to draft a bipartisan tax reform bill and said he would sign it right away. He also urged them to end tax deductions for companies that outsource jobs. The president cited Master Lock Inc., as an example, saying the CEO of Master Lock told him that it “makes sense” to bring jobs home these days.

The president also pushed for more efficient education – but, again, he left the groundwork for Congress.

Much of Obama’s “blue-

print” demands for all branches of government to work together on ideas that everyone knows makes sense.

He promoted a more fair tax system.

“Warren Buffett, currently ranked the third richest person in the world, pays a lower tax rate than his secretary … People like me should pay our fair share,” Obama said.

The president urged for Congress to pass the payroll tax cut and suggested anyone making more than $1 million per year to pay no less than a 30 percent tax rate.

The evening was not only Obama’s blueprint for a better economy, but a blueprint for his re-election. But for the president to achieve that, he must effectively promote his successes, and point out the lingering stench of our Congress.

Regardless of whether or not Obama gets re-elected, many of his solutions were sensible.

But, with a Congress as ineffective as ours, there isn’t much hope for them to happen - especially not before the election.

We can’t turn our back on Iraq robert davis correspondent

As the U.S.-led Iraq War draws to an end, Iraq will remain on the world stage.

After nearly nine years of declared conflict, Iraqis have found themselves at a pivotal moment in the history of their nation.

A troop draw-down in Iraq doesn’t – and shouldn’t – equate to an end of American presence in the Arab country.

One of the largest U.S. embassies in the world, two consulates and 16,000 officials and contractors will remain in Iraq.

Since the withdrawal, some U.S. officials have expressed

concern over Iran, a bitter enemy of the United States.

After sharing a turbulent past with Iraq, Iran may seize this opportunity to pull the vulnerable country into its orbit.

In 1980, after an alleged assassination attempt on an Iraqi Foreign Minister by what Saddam Hussein called “Iranian agents,” relations between the two countries rapidly deteriorated, ultimately leading to the First Persian Gulf War. Although a United Nations encouraged cease-fire effectively ended the war, friendly interactions between the two countries remained at a minimum until the fall of Saddam in 2003, which sparked a new era in Iraq-Iran relations.

Some sources indicate that during the Iraq War, Iran may

have supplied weapons to its Shia allys within Iraq.

This would accomplish two things. First, it would hasten the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the region, destabilizing it further. Secondly, it would ensure that in the event of a looming civil war between the already feuding Shia and Sunni Muslims, Iran with its Shia government would secure a strategic ally.

With a tenfold increase in trade, an explosion of diplomatic exchanges and an outpouring of Iranian funds to assist in the reconstruction of the war-torn country, a strong Iraq-Iran alliance is more possible now than ever.

This would be a tragedy of the highest degree, considering the nearly $1 trillion of U.S. taxpayer money poured into the country, nine

years of political turmoil and, most importantly, the lives of countless Americans and innocent Iraqis.

It seems the U.S. government is willing to thwart attempts by Iran to exercise its political clout over the developing government.

Last October, in an NBC interview, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, “No one should miscalculate America’s resolve and commitment to helping support the Iraqi democracy. We have paid too high a price to give the Iraqis this chance. And I hope that Iran and no one else miscalculates that.”

Despite it being the end of a U.S.-backed counter-insurgency operation, we as citizens should support government attempts to foster a democracy and promote

friendly relations with the Iraqi government.

This is not a question of whether or not you supported the war. It is evident that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was less than justified, although nearly 75 percent of American citizens approved of military action against Hussein during and before the initial phase of the invasion of Iraq.

While most would agree that our country was misled into believing Iraq was more of a threat than President George W. Bush had conveyed, it was the American public who gave Bush the final incentive to launch an invasion – placing a small portion of the responsibility for the outcome of this costly war on us as citizens.

It is obvious the campaign in Iraq has fallen short of its

2003 vision. The time has come for us to cut our losses and pray that the Iraqis are ready to take the defense of their country into their own hands, but we cannot forget that as a nation, we supported the toppling of a troubled yet functional government.

We share an obligation to do our best to ensure Iraq becomes a working democracy and to prevent it from falling into the hands of our enemies.

America has every right to breathe a sigh of relief now that its sons and daughters are no longer participating in combat operations in Iraq, however, we cannot allow Iran to gain a key ally in the region – especially a region with so much American blood, sweat and tears on its soil.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

spark on the social scene.

BORN TODAY Your dreams play an even stronger role in your life this year.

For that reason alone, you might want to consider keeping a dream diary. Your positive attitude plays out well, especially in your personal and domestic life. If you are single, curb a tendency to commit before you really know the person. Give yourself at least a year. If you are attached, the two of you expand your household or make some positive changes to your home. PISCES has great ideas for how to spend your money.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You might want to revamp your plans.

The problem lies in the fact that once your day becomes fluid, it might never stabilize. Ask yourself if that is OK. Several demanding people seek you out. You cannot avoid their controlling ways forever. Tonight: Break past your thoughts.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH What you might be thinking may not be apparent. In fact, you are working on a very different, intuitive level. If you have a strong sense financially, follow through, as long as the risk is not too great. Share an inspired idea. Tonight: Relax to some good music.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You zero in on what is happening with a friend. Be gracious. Let this person tell you what is going on, though he or she might not be exactly sure. A friend who can be flighty taps into your energy. Do not allow this person to drain you. Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH What you might have thought of as rumor or hearsay might not be. The end results will be excellent. Many of your interactions transform within a key relationship. Still, you need to detach from this person’s need to control. Tonight: A

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Your fiery demeanor seems a bit off. You feel as if you must understand what is happening behind the scenes, especially with a key player. Others do not know what to make of you when you are like this. It gives them pause to think. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Others view you as excitable and full of energy. Your ability to detach will emerge, allowing you to make a perfect choice. You know what works. Answer to another person clearly. Your ability to understand allows you to be gracious when few can. Tonight: Taking in new vistas.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Put 100 percent into whatever you want. You will see the end results, which will make you smile. You also will feel much better about yourself. A partner comes up with a wonderful investment. Push comes to shove with a personal matter. Tonight: Togetherness works.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Your words make waves. You might want to decide if that is the end result you desire. Do not try to minimize the situation.

Rather, claim responsibility and the ability to change it. Know what it is you want.

Tonight: Ever playful.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Pressure builds, and you see life from a different perspective. Getting your view in line with reality needs to occur in order to experience success. Opportunities increase under those circumstances.

Be willing to reorganize from a different perspective. Tonight: Happiest at home.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Your self-expression and ability to move forward depend on whether you can open up to a new perspective. Remain sure of yourself, and honor your core integrity. You cannot go wrong. Creativity surges to an unprecedented level if you relax. Tonight: Let talks flow naturally.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH What you perceive as a good idea could become one. Test it a little more. Be more sensitive to your personal needs, and you will gain. Not everything is work- or business-related. Let go and relax. Tonight: Buy a coveted item on the way home.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You flow through problems with optimism, drawing even more positive responses. A meeting that you thought would go a certain way becomes a little more difficult and, in some sense, convoluted. Tonight: Meet a friend; the activity is your call.

Air Supply band members Graham Russel and Russell Hitchcock perform live in the Philippines.

by Emily Meadows A&E WRITER

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Australia’s classic softrock duo Air Supply is making its way to Morgantown next month as a stop on their

current 2012 tour.

The legendary group, who has now been together for more than three decades, will be performing in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center on

Feb. 22.

The pair, made up of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, have had a great deal of worldwide success since their start in 1975, with more than 15 album releases, 27 singles and eight

top-10 hit singles in the United States.

“Mumbo Jumbo,” released in 2010 was the first compilation of original material released in nearly eight years, and it received excellent reviews alongside two hit sin-

gles on adult contemporary charts.

The stellar radio-friendly favorites are primarily recognized for their soft pop, romantic and charming classic tracks such as “Lost in Love,”

“Making Love Out of Nothing At All” and “Every Woman in the World.”

They have additionally recorded some new tracks, including the recently released single, “Sanctuary,” now available for purchase on iTunes.

Westover resident Julie Barnes, said she last saw Air Supply in the mid-1990s following their 1997 “The Book of Love” album release and is eager to see if they have kept their ardent stage presence and charisma.

“Last time, they played a long set and had so much crowd interaction,” Barnes said. “This will be my third Air Supply show, and I’m going with my husband this time – I’m hoping it will be a fun and reminiscent concert for both of us.”

The show is projected to be a success, as Air Supply has always fostered a strong fan following in live performances. The group has maintained a dedicated fan base, known best as “Airheads,” throughout the last 30 years and has continued to gain more fans, young and old.

You can register to become an official “Airhead” through the band’s website, where you then become eligible to receive exclusive special offers, as well as submit exceptional fan photos and notes.

In addition to the traditional band discography, Hitchcock released a country and pop solo album last year titled, “Tennessee,” which features original tracks outside of the usual adult contemporary frame, all while sticking to the romantic and tantalizing vibe the singer has adopted.

Air Supply tickets are on sale now ranging from $45$55, and $27 for all WVU students with valid student ID. Tickets can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices, www.Ticketmaster.com or any area ticketmaster outlet. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Limiting Bussie led to Hoya win The most impressive thing I saw on the stat sheet following Georgetown’s 64-54 win over West Virginia wasn’t Tia Magee’s 17 second-half points for the Hoyas.

Nor was it the 30 turnovers Georgetown forced.

It wasn’t even redshirt sophomore Christal Caldwell’s 25 points – her eighth consecutive game in double figures.

It was, instead, a statistic even more impressive and more telling of how Georgetown was able to come away with its first victory in Morgantown since 1996.

Junior center Asya Bussie had just one field goal attempt.

Yep, just one.

If you’re thinking that sounds awfully low for the 6-foot-4 Bussie, you’d be right.

Bussie has started all 89 games in her career as a Mountaineer. In only three other games has she attempted only one field goal – the last being in a February 13, 2011, loss to Louisville.

Bussie and fellow post player, redshirt junior Ayana Dunning, were virtually removed from the game completely.

The duo combined for only four points – which paled in comparison to the production Georgetown got out of the 5-foot-11 Magee.

West Virginia has utilized the size of Dunning and Bussie throughout the course of the season by successfully executing a version of the hi-lo with Bussie usually anchoring the block and Dunning patrolling the area around the foul line.

The hi-low game plan that the team had used to success with much greater size inside was ineffective against the unique brand of pressure Georgetown created.

Head coach Mike Carey and the West Virginia women’s basketball team fell to No. 17 Georgetown 64-54 Tuesday night.

Magee, Rodgers lead No. 17 Georgetown to 64-54 victory over West Virginia by nick arthur sports writer

Tia Magee and Sugar Rodgers both scored 17 points and No. 17 Georgetown left Morgantown with a 64-54 win over West Virginia for the first time since 1996.

“I don’t remember coming back here and being happy,” said Georgetown head coach Terry Williams-Flournoy.

All 17 of Magee’s points came in the second half, as the Hoyas (16-5 ; 5-3) held the Mountaineers (14-6 ; 4-3) to just 14 made field goals and 29 percent shooting for the game.

West Virginia led 24-23 at the half, and held a 32-25 advantage in the second half.

But, Georgetown used defen-

sive pressure to force 30 turnovers and end the game on a 3922 run.

“Our girls came out and played well, especially in the first half,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “And then, in the second half, we quit playing.”

“I thought we had a great game plan against their pressure. Their pressure full-court and three-quarter court didn’t hurt. It was the half court.

The half-court pressure was evident as four different Mountaineers committed at least five turnovers.

“You’re not going to win many games with 30 turnovers,” Carey said.

Sophomore guard Christal Caldwell led all scorers with a

career-high 25 points in a losing effort.

Fellow sophomore guard Taylor Palmer, who was not in the starting lineup for the first time all season, chipped in 15 points on 4-17 shooting off the bench.

It marked the fifth game this season that the Mountaineers have lost despite leading in the second half.

“It’s another game that we had and we gave away at the end,” Palmer said.

Caldwell agrees with Palmer’s assessment.

“The last nine minutes we had a lot of letdowns,” Caldwell said.

“We let a lot of things happened that shouldn’t have happened.

WVU ready for showdown with St. John’s at MSG

By John Terry Managing Editor

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

Head coach Bob Huggins and the West Virginia men’s basketball team will head to Madison Square Garden Wednesday night to take on St. John’s.

The West Virginia men’s basketball team will travel to Madison Square Garden tonight to play a struggling St. John’s team.

But that doesn’t mean his team shouldn’t be ready to play, said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins.

“I tell them you’re going to play in the largest city in the world and the most famous arena in the world, why wouldn’t you be excited about that?” Huggins said. “That ought to be a dream come true for all these freshmen. If I was them, I’d be excited about going.”

“There’s so much history there. So many great players have played there.”

The Red Storm have lost six of seven, with their sole victory being a two-point win against Cincinnati.

Wins against the Bearcats and a December win against Providence are St. John’s sole wins against teams from the so-called power conferences.

St. John’s has been without head coach Steve Lavin, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the off-season. Lavin coached four games in November after missing the season opener, but hasn’t seen the sidelines since.

“Right now, he’s not their coach basically,” Huggins said.

“He’s not at practice, he’s not at games – they’re not playing for him right now.”

The Red Storm had a chance to beat Villanova at home, but fell in overtime 79-76.

“I think they’re getting better and better,” Huggins said, St. John’s is led by freshmen Moe Harkless and D’Angelo Harrison.

Harkless leads the team, scoring 15.6 points per game and 8.6 rebounds, while Har-

West Virginia 15-5 (5-2)

St. John’s 8-11 (2-6)

When: Tonight, 7 p.m.

rison is averaging 15.3 points per game.

Freshman forward God’s Gift Achiuwa is third on the team with 11.1 points.

“They’re (young players) more athletic than ours,” Huggins said.

Huggins also said he has been impressed with how Harrison has played this season.

West Virginia freshmen Jabarie Hinds and Gary Browne helped West Virginia to a 7774 win against Cincinnati Saturday. Browne, who scored 13 points and collected nine rebounds, hit a game-tying 3-point shot to send the game into overtime, while Hinds had 12 points, four assists and four rebounds.

Senior Kevin Jones, who has quickly been put into the national spotlight, will be entering tonight’s game coming off of a 26-point, 13-rebound performance against the Bearcats.

Senior Truck Bryant is coming off his worst scoring output this season, as he scored just six points on 2-of-16 from the field.

Even though Huggins said after the game that Bryant and Jones have been fatigued, the team still practiced Monday.

“They had the rest off the day Saturday and all day Sunday,” Huggins said. “They’re 18 years old – how much time do you need off?”

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

Burnett poised to return to NCAA championships as junior by robert kreis sports writer

West Virginia women’s swim team junior Rachael Burnett arrived in Morgantown her freshman year, and immediately impacted the team, qualifying for the NCAA championships.

Burnett even earned honorable mention All-American status for her part on the 400 free relay team, but after a less-than-satisfactory sophomore campaign, Burnett entered her junior year with a chip on her shoulder and a mission to make it back to the NCAA championships.

“Not making NCAA last year after making it my freshman year put a fire under me to do better,” Burnett said. “I have been working harder and pushing myself every practice.”

Burnett’s hard work has paid off so far this season.

The Springfield, Va., native has consistently been at the top of the podium all season, and is coming off a meet at

Maryland this past weekend, where she sealed victories in both the 200 free and 500 free.

This season, Burnett Burnett is constantly keeping the thought of not making it to NCAA’s last year in the back of her mind.

“I hate to lose,” she said.

“I want to perform well for (WVU), and I do not want to let my team down, and I felt like not making it to NCAA’s last year, I let my team down.”

Obviously Burnett’s success has caught the eye of head coach Vic Riggs. “(Burnett) has an internal motivation that has been driving her this season,” Riggs said. “She is a very hard worker and a very big competitor. She hates to lose.”

But it is not only Burnett’s hard work and competitive spirit that have Riggs impressed this season – she is

a leader.

“She leads by example. She is never one to back down from a challenge,” he said.

“She is a quiet motivator, but she is not afraid to get in a girl’s face every once and a while, and let people know that they may be not doing the right thing in regards to training.”

Burnett embraces her role on the team, because she believes it helps the overall team’s success.

“As a teammate, I try to motivate everyone to do their best at practice,” Burnett said.

“I think it translates to us doing well at meets.”

Burnett is a fantastic motivator and leader for the team, but her words would mean nothing if she was not performing in the pool. Luckily that has not been the case, and both Burnett and Riggs agree that her best event is the grueling 500 free.

“Coach Riggs has trained me how to swim (the 500 free) really well,” she said. “I love (the 500 free), and that is one

of the reasons that helps me swim better.”

According to Riggs, what separates Burnett and fellow distance swimmers from sprinters and medium distance swimmers are the mental aspects needed to be successful in long distance races.

“The biggest thing (for distance swimmers) is just know that they are going to be doing a lot of work,” Riggs said.

“You have to be mentally tough, and you have to be able to take those challenges mentally, and not let that ‘how in the world am I going to complete this’ set in on you.”

Burnett will use her competitive fire and mental toughness Saturday when the women’s team travels to Ohio University in their final meet before Big East championships, after which she will find out if she reached the NCAA Championships.

“To make NCAA’s and final in NCAA’s is the ultimate goal,” Burnett said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

DeForest to be WVU’s associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator by michael carvelli sports editor

When West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen hired defensive assistant Joe DeForest more than a week ago, it was unclear what his official title would be.

Through a document obtained by The Daily Athenaeum through the Freedom of Information Act, DeForest was offered the position of associate

schuler

Continued from page 7 just not letting them take advantage of the hi-lo game, and that definitely helped us out a lot,” Magee said.

She believes the Hoyas did the best thing possible by “pressuring the high post (and) not even allowing them to make that pass in (the low post).”

“If you’re in their face then they can’t make that good pass in there (and) you don’t have to worry about defending the person that’s on the block,” she said.

Georgetown head coach

head coach and co-defensive coordinator in an email from Athletic Director Oliver Luck.

DeForest’s contract will expire Jan. 30, 2015, and he will make a base salary of $500,000 per year.

The University also gave him $12,000 for “reasonable, preapproved moving expenses.”

DeForest was the first of two hires that West Virginia has had since former coaches Jeff Casteel, Bill Kirelawich and Da-

vid Lockwood left to coach at Arizona with former WVU head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The Mountaineers also hired former New York Jets outside linebackers coach Mike Smith, but it is still unclear of what his official title will be.

DeForest comes to West Virginia after spending the last 11 seasons at Oklahoma State.

While coaching with the Cowboys, he was the associate head coach, special teams coordina-

tor and safeties coach.

He coached the 2008 Ray Guy Award winner in Matt Fodge and the 2010 Lou Groza Award winner in Dan Bailey and has coached three of the last four Big 12 Conference Special Teams Players of the Year.

After hiring Smith, there is still one vacancy to be filled on WVU’s coaching staff.

Terri Williams-Flournoy said after the game that while she did think her defensive game plan would cause problems for Bussie, she didn’t exactly expect it to perform as well as it did.

“No, I did not expect to hold her to one shot, but the defense that we were playing, I guess, obviously eliminated that post pass inside to her,” she said.

For West Virginia, there’s no denying it was frustrating watching the team’s most dominant offensive threat be limited to just one shot attempt.

In this game, it was apparent how valuable Bussie is

to the rest of the team’s success. Her presence alone creates openings for the Mountaineers to exploit on offense, but if she isn’t clicking for the majority of the game – like last night – then West Virginia struggles.

Moving forward, it’s safe to say expecting another oneshot performance from Bussie is very unlikely. Georgetown was able to deploy a perfect strategy on a perfect night, and limit West Virginia’s most dangerous offensive weapon to a night of ineffectiveness.

While the game may be over, and the loss added to the record, the Mountaineers can surely learn a valuable les-

son about what to do next time Bussie finds herself in a funk.

It should be of the utmost importance to find a way to get Bussie more looks when West Virginia is struggling offensively. For playing 27 minutes, one shot attempt from any player would be low – let alone a critical piece of the offense like Bussie.

While the story of the night was how well Georgetown defended the post combination of Bussie and Dunning, the story moving forward will be how West Virginia, and Bussie, respond to a night as uncharacteristic as Tuesday.

We let the game slip away.”

As for why the Mountaineers seem to fall apart late in games, nobody seems to know.

“I really wish I could help you guys out to understand,” Palmer said. “Right now, we don’t understand why we’re doing the things we’re doing.”

“We have a lot of energy in the first half. And then, in the second half, it disappears. We need to figure it out, and fix it for the rest of these games.”

Georgetown was able to hold West Virginia junior forward Asya Bussie to just one shot attempt in the game. Bussie’s previously low for shot attempts in a game this season was five.

Sophomore guard Brooke Hampton had a career-high eight turnovers.

Tilton prospects enjoy trip to Morgantown

Noel, Okonoboh, Selden list WVU among possible colleges by michael carvelli sports editor

When the Tilton School (N.H.) made the trip down to Morgantown, some of the players didn’t really know what to expect.

But after two solid showings during the Mountaineer Shootout at University High School, the trip was well worth it.

“It was a long trip – two plane rides and a long car ride ... It was a long day but we’re happy we got the win,” said Tilton sophomore guard Wayne Selden.

Tilton is one of the top teams in the nation and features many highly sought-after recruits.

According to ESPNU.com, Selden is the No. 10 player in the 2014 class, while junior centers Nerlens Noel and Goodluck Okonoboh are No. 2 and No. 60, respectively in the 2013 class.

Senior forward Georges Niang is one of the best seniors in the country and will play at Iowa State. Shooting guard Domonique Bull has already committed to Missouri.

While in Morgantown, the players attended West Virginia’s overtime win over Cincinnati and toured the new practice facility. These opportunities got the Ram starters thinking about WVU a little more.

“After talking to (assistant coach Larry) Harrison, I got a better feel for the program,” Noel said. “I’ll be looking forward to building a better relationship with their coaching staff.”

Noel is considered the nation’s premier shot blocker and has been fielding interest from elite programs like Kentucky,

Syracuse and Connecticut.

He said after last week, WVU would be added to his list of schools.

He admitted the addi- Noel tion was due in part to the new practice facility and all that it offers players.

“It’s important, especially if it’s 24 hours, so that whenever you need to, you can get in the gym, and work on what you need to,” he said. “It’s state-ofthe-art. Whatever you need is there, and I think that facility is real nice and there’s no way to not get better having that.”

Another thing all the players said would be great about playing for West Virginia was getting the opportunity to play for head coach Bob Huggins, as well as the rest of the coaching staff.

Getting to attend practice earlier in the week and seeing how they work with the current players on the team was something the three Tilton players enjoyed.

“The way they coach is just awesome,” Okonoboh said.

“You can tell they try to get their players better and (Huggins) is real tough on the court, and that’s a good thing.

“He has a high awareness when it comes to defense and offense. He can see the littlest things, and pick them out.”

While Okonoboh commented about what the coaching staff did during the practice, getting to watch the Mountaineers’ style of play was something

that Noel thought he could see himself playing in.

“They like to get up and down the court,” he said. “Just Okonoboh watching the practice, everything was in tip-top shape. It wasn’t just nonsense. I really like the program and how it’s run.”

But they all agreed that possibly the biggest highlight of the weekend was getting to see the Mountaineers’ win over Cincinnati.

“That was a great game. They stayed composed down the stretch of the game,” Noel said.

“It was a crazy atmosphere. It was very live. They have great fans, they all supported, and there’s a great atmosphere there.”

All three players said they’re nowhere near ready to make their college decisions just yet, but they’ve started building their lists of possible schools.

When it comes to the things they’re looking for, all three agreed on the most important factors.

“A program that’s family,” Selden said. “(It should have) a winning tradition. Coming in, I want to work my way into playing and be able to come into the program, and take my game to the next level.”

Now, the next step is finding the programs that fit what they want. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
