Connector building to improve accessibility by bryan bumgardner staff writer

West Virginia University is asking students, faculty and staff for their input to design a new community lounge that will connect the Mineral Resources building and the Student Recreation Center.

A survey was sent to more than 34,000 individuals via MIX asking about their interests in dining, relaxation and shopping services for the building.

“What goes in this building is literally going to be chosen by the community,” said Ryan Campione, Student Government Association governor. “The University has really opened up and decided to let students have a say in construction.”

Narvel Weese, vice president of administration and finance, said whichever businesses students prefer in the survey could become part of the building.

“We’re trying to find a way

to bring a partnership between the public and private sector,” he said.

Popular ideas for the building include rooms with 30-foot interactive televisions, game rooms, new restaurants and outdoor study lounges, Campione said.

However, businesses in the building have not been confirmed.

“We’re going to leave this up to the community, because we want it to be a community building,” Campione

Pi Sigma Sigma spreads awareness of Occupy movement by lacey palmer staff writer

The search for the American dream has “occupied” the minds of West Virginia University students.

Pi Sigma Sigma Honorary, a WVU public policy research group, hosted “Making Sense of the Occupy Movement: Who are the 99 Percent and what do they want?” Tuesday to create better awareness about the national fight for economic equality.

The event aimed to clear up many of the questions about the movement, after the group’s research showed many students were unclear of the initiative’s purpose, said Pi Sigma Sigma President Joshua Ash. “We pick a project every semester about issues that we believe are pertinent for students here. Through various ways such as surveys,

said. “To have the University extend a hand and say ‘help us make this decision’ is really amazing.”

Weese said the inspiration for the building came from the isolated nature of colleges on the Evansdale campus.

“Our architects looked at the topography, and it’s like there are two Evansdale campuses, a higher and a lower, with few places where the two are actually connected,” Weese said.

The six-story “connector building” will be built next to

the Engineering PRT station and create a path to the WVU Rec Center. The building will also help grow the “Evansdale culture” by giving students a place to gather, Campione said.

“Down there you’ve got all of these colleges whose students spend all their time in specific buildings, and they never interact socially or collaborate on any projects,” he said.

Campione said students will be able to socialize, buy food, and attend events in the building. Campione said this

building is not going to be an “Evansdale Mountainlair,” but will provide a different experience for Evansdale students.

“We hate calling it that because it’s going to be something totally unique and different,” he said.

The connector building is part of the Evansdale Master Plan, a $250 million development project, and part of the WVU 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

forums and some research, we aim to increase student knowledge and interest in these issues,” Ash said.

Political science capstone students also presented a video they produced including interviews with protestors from the New York City movement.

Cheryl Johnson-Lyons, WVU sociology professor, attorney and small business owner, said most of the protestors’ motivations are rooted in the demand for increased equality.

Many middle class American’s face challenges such as owning a home, supporting children and paying for college, and as the price of living a middle class lifestyle increases, wages have remained stagnant, Johnson-Lyons said.

Dan Gerhardt began researching the dangers of skin cancer as part of a group project, but ended up learning about his own health as well.

Gerhardt, a senior public relations student, was one of many students who got the chance to use a detection machine in the Mountainlair Tuesday, which was donated to West Virginia University by the American Cancer Society.

The machine uses a blacklight to identify underlying skin issues on the face.

“I never really messed with sunscreen when I was younger, and I was shocked at what I saw today,” Gerhardt said. “When students use the machine, they can see a lot of underlying issues with the skin. It’s sort of a shock to the system for them because they actually get to see the damage

they’re causing.”

Gerhardt worked with a public relations class to promote skin cancer awareness and encourage students to stop using tanning beds across campus.

“We’ve done a lot of research, and what we’ve found is that there is really a lack of awareness here,” he said.

“People know about skin cancer, but they don’t know about the signs and how to detect it.

We want to give people the knowledge to protect themselves so that they can take care of it before it becomes life-threatening.”

The group conducted surveys aimed at tanning bed users and young adults between the ages of 18-24 to get a better grasp of local awareness of the issue.

The survey showed that young adults, particularly

Guest speaker shares insight from innovative charity by david perry correspondent

When social studies teacher Charles Best encountered firsthand the scarcity of learning materials in a Bronx public high school, he decided to do something to help.

Best, the founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org, spoke as a part of West Virginia University’s Festival of Ideas lecture series in the Mountainlair Tuesday.

Co-sponsored by the WVU Center for Civic Engagement, Best’s lecture detailed the story behind DonorsChoose. org, a charity that allows do-

nors to choose the public school projects they fund.

Teachers from schools across the nation submit project proposals to the program, which can be sorted by location or subject. Donors then choose projects to fund based on their interests.

Best calls DonorsChoose. org, along with similar projects like Kickstarter, a funding website for creative endeavors, a “new kind of marketplace where there are no gatekeepers in the way.”

“There’s a change underway. It’s a change in how long you have to wait, and who you have to know, and how

lucky you have to be in order to bring a good idea to life,” Best said.

Best said it was a difficult process turning his idea into a multi-million dollar charity used to fund over 200,000 projects across the nation.

Best said perseverance is a key to the growth of DonorsChoose.org.

“At Donors Choose, we call that relentlessness. It’s our first core value, and it’s what’s behind every success that we’ve had,” he said.

DonorsChoose.org has many prominent supporters that boost its national profile, including comedian Ste-

phen Colbert, a member of the charity’s board of directors, and Oprah Winfrey, who named DonorsChoose.org one of her “Favorite Things” in 2010.

“I watch Colbert Report; so whenever Stephen Colbert talked about it, I recognized it from that,” said junior industrial engineering student and Student Government Association governor Ryan Campione. “His story was really inspiring – just the fact that he went from having nothing and getting told no over and over again, to getting this amazing

Event aims to raise $10,000 to benefit former student by lacey palmer staff writer

Take a night on the town and benefit a fellow Mountaineer.

A silent auction fundraiser will be held tonight at the Dragonfly restaurant to benefit Ryan Diviney. The event will be held from 7-11 p.m., and a portion of the sales from the night will be donated to the Diviney family, as well as proceeds from se-

lect martinis.

Diviney, a West Virginia University student from Ashburn, Va., was seriously injured during an altercation outside the Dairy Mart on Willey Street in 2009. Diviney suffered serious brain damage and is in a coma.

Sociology professor Daniel Brewster and the Mountaineer Maniacs held a 5K race to benefit Diviney Sunday. Brewster said the 5K event was the third

fundraiser they have hosted for Diviney and raised about $2,500. The combined goal for the two fundraisers is $10,000.

“We’re already off to a good start,” he said.

After the brutal attack, Diviney’s family set up a website called Ryan’s Rally to provide a forum for friends and loved ones to show support. Visitors to the side can also make a donation to Ryan’s trust fund for

future medical needs.

Bracelets and T-shirts can be purchased on the site, and the profits are donated to Ryan’s trust fund. Visitors can also read his father’s blog, or buy things for Diviney off of Ryan’s Wish List.

“Some people don’t want to just give money, so if you can show them where their money is actually going, they may be a little more interested,” Brewster

said. “So, we’ll have a couple computers set up at the event so people can access that as well.”

Brewster said he dedicates his time to the cause because it is so close to the University community.

“When the incident first happened, I felt like we were trying to kind of distance ourselves from it, but this is a reality on campuses across Amer-

ica and in particular, here,” he said. “Violence occurs every single weekend on this campus. There’s a chance you or anyone could be savagely attacked any day, and it could change your entire life.”

Chesapeake Bay gets Stocks jump after strong profits; Spain soothes D+ in new report card BALTIMORE (AP) — Heavy rains and a hot summer harmed the Chesapeake Bay’s health last year, earning it the second worst grade on a yearly report card issued Tuesday by the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science.

The center gave the bay a D+ in 2011, scoring only slightly better than in 2003, the worst year for bay health since the assessments began in 1986. Heavy spring and fall rains washed pollutants and sediments into the bay, and a hot, dry summer spurred algae blooms that lower oxygen levels.

Flood waters from Tropical Storm Lee brought up to an inch and a half of sediment into the upper bay. Water clarity, meanwhile, continued to decline along with losses in bay grasses. Only two regions – the lower western shore of the bay, which got a C, and the Patapsco and Back Rivers improved, but still got a D-. The rest declined or remained the same.

Virginia’s Rappahannock, for example, went from a C- to a D+ as grasses suffered significant declines. The Potomac River remained at a D, suffering de-

Schools in West Virginia have received nearly $300,000 in aid through the charity.

Lee Anne Burton of Fairmont, W.Va., is one of the teachers whose projects have been funded through the website.

She was able to fund the purchase of a class iPod, a new rug for her classroom and new books for her library.

clines in water quality but not enough to change its grade.

The Patuxent and Elizabeth rivers received failing grades.

The failing grade was the first for the Elizabeth, which has been polluted by industry and shipyards, and scored a grade of 0 for three indicators.

Last spring, the bay got 42 out of 100 possible points, down from 46 the year before and the first drop in four years.

Rains carry sediments that can cloud water and bury bay grasses as well as pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus that can lead to oxygen-robbing algae blooms.

Last year, heavy spring flows and two fall storms “brought a huge amount” of pollution and sediment into the bay, said Caroline Wicks, a UMCES project manager who presented the results. The weather this year has been cooperating so far with dry weather that hasn’t washed much pollution into the bay, Wicks said.

“Hopefully, that means we’ll have better scores this coming summer. However, with the warmer air temperatures we might have another hot, dry summer,” Wicks said.

“There are a lot of things that we need that we aren’t able to get that we have to pay for ourselves, so this project is wonderful,” Burton said.

(AP) — Stocks stormed higher Tuesday after promising signals about the profitability of U.S. companies and a strong debt auction by Spain.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose for the fourth day in five and posted its biggest gain in a month.

European stocks had their best day in four months after Spain, the latest flashpoint in the European debt crisis, attracted strong investor interest at an auction of two-year debt.

Spain’s borrowing costs fell, as measured by the yields on Spanish bonds being traded in the market. In recent days, those yields had risen closer to levels that might force Spain to seek an international bailout.

“There’s no doubt that gave the market a second wind,” Anthony Chan, chief economist with J.P. Morgan Private Wealth management, said of the debt auction. “The market is reassessing and feeling a little better.”

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 194.13 points, or 1.5 percent, at 13,115.54. It was up as much as 210 points Tuesday afternoon. The Dow has had only one 200-point rise this year, a gain of 218 points on March 13.

First-quarter results have begun to pour in from companies, and traders have been impressed so far. On Tuesday, Coca-Cola said its first-quarter profit was better than Wall Street analysts had forecast. Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson also posted strong results.

“This earnings season, expectations were low, and it’s going to be easy to beat that,” said Doreen Mogavero, a floor broker at the New York Stock Exchange and founder and CEO of Mogavero Lee & Co. Inc., a small brokerage of stocks for institutional clients.

After nine straight quarters of growth, earnings for companies in the S&P 500 index were expected to be roughly flat for

Continued from page 1 females, understand the correlation between skin cancer and tanning beds but continue to tan, according to Alexis Vaughan, student leader of the public relations team.

Females said they continued to use tanning beds despite the risk mostly because of peer pressure.

The survey also found that there is confusion about the correlation between skin cancer and tanning bed usage.

“They didn’t understand the signs or symptoms of this fatal illness,” Vaughn said.

Only 31 percent of survey

Specialist Douglas Johnson, right, works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York. the first quarter. The slowdown was expected because of global threats from Europe and China and the difficulty of beating double-digit gains in recent quarters.

“They talked earnings down for three weeks ahead of the announcements,” agreed Kenneth Polcari, a floor broker and managing director with the giant brokerage ICAP Equities. “They’ve lowered the bar so much that when the announcements come in, it’s like, ‘Look how good everyone is doing,’” he said.

While stocks have not returned to the lurching moves of last summer, the market has been more volatile in April than it was in January, February and March.

In the first quarter, while stocks rose smoothly, there were only six days on which the Dow rose or fell by 100 points.

There have been six more in just 11 trading days in April.

Traders said the market is growing more volatile in part because the number of shares traded remains relatively low.

About 3.44 billion shares of NYSE-listed stocks were traded on Monday.

“There’s so little volume these days that some movement in any direction is going to be exaggerated by not as many people trading as you’d like to see,” said Michael Guli, director of Knight Capital Americas, an international financial services company.

Indexes move more sharply when volumes are low because the action is driven by a handful of short-term traders, rather than by big movements of money managed by institutional asset managers, Polcari said.

“If you had real asset managers playing, you’d see volume exploding, and you’re not seeing it. The lack of participation by big asset managers is letting the day traders and high-frequency trading guys drive the market and create the volatility,” he said.

Conflicting information about the U.S. economy and Europe’s debt crisis adds to the volatility, Policari added. “Just as the market is up 20 points

today, you could just as easily see it down by 20 points tomorrow,” he said, referring to movements in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

The S&P 500 gained 21.21 points, or 1.6 percent, to 1,390.78. All 10 of its industry groups rose – nine of them by more than 1 percent.

Utilities rose only 0.6 percent. Those stocks offer modest, stable returns in periods of weak growth but tend to suffer when the economy rebounds.

Coke stock leapt 2.1 percent.

Traders did not appear as impressed by Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson. J&J edged higher, while Goldman fell three-fourths of a percent.

Chan warned against judging the quarter based on the small number of companies that have reported at this early stage.

The Nasdaq composite index soared 54.42 points, or 1.8 percent, to 3,042.82. Apple, the most valuable company by market value, rose 5.1 percent after five straight days of losses that wiped out about $60 billion in market value.

takers actively checked their moles and most of those either had skin cancer in the past or had a family member with skin cancer.

“I found it really interesting that checking for irregular moles is ‘live and learn’ experience. I think skin cancer awareness is not pertinent to young adults, and they do not find it necessary to check for, when in reality, it’s one of the most common types of cancer found in young adults,” Vaughn said. “Prevention and early detection are key, and this is what the campaign centers around.”

Vaughn said while she can’t force students to change their ways, she hopes the “Know Your Body” campaign will en-

courage them to start paying better attention.

“We can’t force people to use sunscreen or stay out of tanning beds, but we can provide them with information on how to actively check for irregular moles and other symptoms associated with skin cancer,” she said. “Working on this campaign was an eye-opening experience. We aren’t as invincible as we like to think we are, and skin cancer doesn’t pick and choose who gets it.”

The group also offered discounted spray tan coupons, provided by Lavish Boutique, to encourage students to choose a healthier alternative.

Trisha Worstell, a senior public relations student work-

ing on the project, said alternative options can allow students who care about getting that tan for summer what they want without the risks.

“A lot of college students tan – especially girls. People do care about what they look like and get set in their ways, so we’re trying to teach them about spray tans because they’re a great alternative that eliminates cancer risks completely but still produces the same results,” Worstell said.

“We’re hoping we help them realize the risks and motivate them to make a lifestyle change that will last beyond graduation.”

“Does it mean equality of outcome, equality of opportunity or equality before the law?”

Douglas said he believes the movement is crucial to the American economy and will play a vital role in the nation’s history.

“We don’t want to get rid of this thing because if you destroy it completely, we’ll lose the ability to finance and start up businesses. This is not a struggle that’s new or that is going to go away,” he said. “This movement really isn’t a bunch of hippies –

it’s a recurring theme in U.S. history.”

The presentation ended with a group discussion on how students believed the issue could be resolved.

The group determined that young people need to make people aware of the issue, although it’s an issue that has affected the country for many years.

North Korea’s new leader grows up during transition PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — His grandfather made his name in the 1930s as a teenage guerrilla, battling the Japanese soldiers who then occupied Korea. His father spent decades solidifying the family’s hold over the country, building up the military, extending the intelligence apparatus and driving its nuclear ambitions.

And Kim Jong Un himself?

He apparently cut his teeth on the basketball courts of a Swiss middle school, a fiercely competitive player who posed as the son of a North Korean Embassy employee. Until, one day in 2000, he disappeared.

He wasn’t seen again publicly until 10 years later, when he stood near his ailing father, Kim Jong Il, at a Pyongyang military parade. Cheering crowds greeted the baby-faced “Young General” as North Korea’s ruler-in-waiting.

Now, with an outwardly seamless transition to the third generation of Kim family rulers, he appears to have been well-served by his competitive instincts.

In North Korea, everyone now knows who is in charge.

Even if he probably isn’t yet 30.

Deafening cheers greeted Kim Jong Un when he stepped onto a viewing platform Sunday and waved to tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered in Kim Il Sung Square, the huge plaza named for his grandfather and the heart of the North Korean capital.

“We have been transformed from a small and weak country ruthlessly trampled upon by competing powers into a confident political and military power,” Kim Jong Un said, the first time his voice had been heard here in public. “Our peo-

Ap

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un acknowledges cheers during a mass military parade in Kim Il Sung Square to celebrate the centenary of the birth of his grandfather, national founder Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang, North Korea. ple are showing off their dignity as independent people who no one can dare provoke.”

After Kim Jong Il’s death, many observers had predicted the son would be little more than a puppet guided by his father’s elderly inner circle.

But if it remains unclear exactly how much power Kim Jong Un wields, and how much he must share with the small coterie of relatives and advisers installed by his father, nearly all analysts say he has immense power.

In a week of events planned for the April 15 centenary of his grandfather’s birth, a day cele-

brated as one of the greatest in the country’s history, Kim assumed a series of top positions in the military, the ruling Workers’ Party and the government.

“It’s nonsensical to say somebody is pulling the strings behind Kim Jong Un,” said Cheong Seong-chang, a North Korea analyst at the private Sejong Institute near Seoul, South Korea.

While the government-controlled media carefully nurture comparisons to his grandfather, portraying him as a smiling everyman who meets everybody from the political elite to low-ranking soldiers, he

also shares his father’s knack for confounding the U.S. and its allies.

Kim Jong Il was a master at using missile tests and nuclear research – and then promises to scale them back – to manipulate the West into providing humanitarian aid to the North.

The younger Kim, who is believed to be about 29 years old, is apparently doing the same thing, though analysts add that his long-term policies have not yet become clear. He faced a serious setback on Friday, when a rocket that North Korea said was carrying a satellite blew up shortly after lift-

Space shuttle Discovery takes a few victory laps

ap

The space shuttle Discovery, sitting atop a 747 carrier aircraft, lands at Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Va., Tuesday.

CHANTILLY, Va. (AP) — The space shuttle Discovery went out in high-flying style.

After three spectacular spins above the nation’s capital, the world’s most traveled spaceship completed its final flight and was ready to become a grounded museum relic.

But what an exit. Discovery took victory laps around the White House, the Capitol and the Washington Monument that elicited cheers and awe – the same sounds and emotions that used to accompany every thunderous launch.

Bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet, the shuttle took off at daybreak Tuesday from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Three hours later, the combo took a few final swoops around Washington at an easy-to-spot 1,500foot altitude.

“It was pretty amazing,” said 12-year-old Riley Jacobsen of Bethesda, Md. “Pretty freaking crazy. It looked like it was inflated.”

Sorena Sorenson, a geology curator for the Smithsonian Institution, was among thousands watching from the National Mall. For 43 years, she has carried an Apollo 11 medal on her keychain.

“This to me is just so bittersweet,” she said.

People filled the Capitol balcony and stood on rooftops to catch a glimpse of Discovery as it circled three times through partly cloudy skies. Construction workers staked out prime viewing spots on cranes.

The nostalgia extended to the crew at the controls of the 747. “The sad part is we’re retiring a very well-oiled machine,” pilot Bill Rieke said.

After landing at Dulles Inter-

national Airport in northern Virginia, the shuttle will undergo final preparations to go on display Thursday at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum annex near the airport.

“We pledge to take care of her forever,” said retired Gen. John R. “Jack” Dailey, the museum’s director. The shuttle will show young visitors “what America is capable of.”

John Porcari, 13, came out to Dulles because his dad is an administrator with the Transportation Department. He said he was blown away by Discovery’s size when it landed.

“It’s huge,” he said. “That’s something you don’t realize from seeing pictures.”

The landing “was just unbelievable,” said John, who would like to work in the space program someday. “This is history right here.”

NASA ended the shuttle program last summer after a 30year run to focus on destinations beyond low-Earth orbit.

Discovery the fleet leader with 39 orbital missions – is the first of the three retired shuttles to be turned over to a museum. It first launched in 1984.

Terri and Bill Jacobsen used the flyover as a teaching experience for Riley, their son. They calculated the speed and angle at which the shuttle and plane would bank, plus other factors, to determine the perfect viewing spot.

“Oh, my God, look at that,” Terri Jacobsen said as the shuttle first appeared. “That thing is mammoth.”

Harold and Theresa Banks of Washington have watched many historic events on the mall since 1958: the inauguration and funeral of John F.

Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington, the Million Man March and Barack Obama’s inauguration. Discovery’s flight ranks high up with those events, they said.

When Discovery departed Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, thousands of people – former shuttle workers, VIPs, tourists and journalists – gathered along the old shuttle landing strip and the nearby beaches.

The plane and shuttle initially headed south and made one last pass over Cape Canaveral before returning to the space center in a final airborne salute.

Discovery’s list of achievements include delivering the Hubble Space Telescope to orbit, carrying the first Russian cosmonaut to launch on a U.S. spaceship, performing the first rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir with the first female shuttle pilot in the cockpit, returning Mercury astro-

naut John Glenn to orbit and resuming shuttle flights after the Challenger and Columbia accidents.

At the Smithsonian annex, Discovery will take the place of the shuttle prototype Enterprise. The Enterprise will go to New York City. Endeavour will head to Los Angeles this fall. Atlantis will remain at Kennedy.

With the shuttles grounded, private U.S. companies hope to pick up the slack, beginning with space station cargo and then, hopefully, astronauts.

The first commercial cargo run,

by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., is set to take place in a few weeks.

For at least the next three to five years until commercial passenger craft are available in the United States NASA astronauts will have to hitch rides aboard Russian Soyuz capsules to get to the International Space Station.

off, scattering pieces over the Yellow Sea. Washington says the launch was a cover for testing ballistic missile technology, though North Korea says it simply wanted to put an observation satellite into space.

On Tuesday, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry rejected U.N. Security Council condemnation of the launch and accused the U.S. of leading a campaign to deny the country’s right to develop a civilian space program.

Kim’s speech two days after the launch may have overstated North Korea’s position in the world – it remains a deeply impoverished nation, despite its nuclear and rocket research programs – but it was also widely seen as a forceful statement about his control over North Korea. During his years in power, Kim Jong Il only spoke once publicly. And then very briefly.

Most of the basic facts about Kim Jong Un’s life, though, remain clouded.

North Koreans are told he graduated from Kim Il Sung Military University and speaks several foreign languages, including English. But his age, marital status and even the name of his late mother – said to be one of Kim Jong Il’s wives, Ko Yong Hui - have never been made public.

The little personal information to emerge about Kim comes mostly from former schoolmates in Switzerland, who in interviews with European news outlets remember him as a ferociously competitive basketball fanatic obsessed with Michael Jordan. For the most part, he kept his personal history a secret.

“One day, he did actually say

to me, ‘My father is the leader of North Korea,’ but I just thought he was making it up,” Joao Micaelo, a former friend, told Britain’s Sunday Telegraph.

Most analysts believe Kim Jong Un was at least partially educated in Switzerland, though officials at the Germanlanguage school, located in a quiet Bern suburb, say they do not know for sure if the young man who went by the name Pak Un was actually Kim Jong Un. They only say Pak Un was a student from 1998 to 2000, when he was in grades six to nine.

In this heavily militarized, one-party state, questions about Kim family history are almost never raised in public.

Questions about Kim Jong Un, particularly with outsiders, are invariably met with little more than fusillades of praise.

At a recent mass gathering in a Pyongyang stadium, thousands of North Koreans chanted his name over and over again, along with a promise to “defend you with our lives!”

Surrounding Kim Jong Un is a group of aging North Korean dignitaries, including a handful of relatives and a tiny cluster of top military and political officials.

The closest adviser, many outsiders believe, is Kim Jong Il’s brother-in-law, Jang Song Thaek. He is married to Kim Jong Il’s younger sister, Kim Kyong Hui. Jang, 66, was given a series of high-ranking titles a few years ago so he would have “the leadership credentials to be the mentor” of Kim Jong Un, said Ralph Cossa, president of Pacific Forum CSIS, a Hawaiibased think tank.

Bin Laden’s family to leave Pakistan overnight ISLAMABAD (AP) — Osama bin Laden’s three widows and their nine children were scheduled to be deported to Saudi Arabia overnight, almost a year after U.S. Navy SEALs killed the al-Qaida chief at a compound in northwest Pakistan, their lawyer said Tuesday.

The family was detained

by Pakistani authorities immediately after the pre-dawn raid on May 2 in Abbottabad.

The American commandos left them behind but took bin Laden’s body, which they later buried at sea.

The relatives were interrogated by Pakistani officials and eventually charged last month with illegally entering and living in the country. They were convicted on April 2 and sentenced to 45 days in prison, with credit for about a month served. Their prison term, which was spent at a well-guarded house in Islamabad, ends Tuesday.

Pakistani officials have said very little publicly about the family, raising questions about why they were kept in detention for so long.

Some speculated Pakistan was worried information from the widows would

point to some level of official assistance in hiding bin Laden. The compound in Abbottabad where he lived for six years was about a kilometer (half a mile) from one of Pakistan’s main military academies.

The Pakistani government has denied knowing the terrorist leader’s whereabouts, and the U.S. has said it has no evidence senior Pakistani officials knew he was in Abbottabad.

But details leaked to the media from the interrogation of one of bin Laden’s widows raised further questions about how he was able to live in the country unnoticed for so long.

Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada said the al-Qaida chief lived in five houses while on the run in Pakistan for nine years and fathered four children, two of whom were born in Pakistani government hospitals.

It’s also possible that one of the reasons Pakistan kept bin Laden’s family in detention for so long was the difficulty of figuring out where to send them. Two of the widows are from Saudi Arabia, and the third, al-Sada, is from Yemen.

Understand dangers of tanning In today’s world, it seems that image is everything.

Whether it is a musician, athlete or movie star, talent also depends on the person’s looks.

This infatuation with beauty has influenced many of our nation’s youth to put health concerns aside, causing them to pay a heavy price for attractiveness – especially when it comes to maintaining a tan.

The dangers of skin cancer should be common knowl-

edge, but it doesn’t seem to affect the tanning industry, which, according to http://inisworld.com, rakes in about $4.8 billion annually.

Women who use tanning beds more than once a month are 55 percent more likely to develop malignant melanoma, according to the National Cancer Institute. But, both men and women increase their risks of developing skin cancer with long-term exposure to artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation.

While everyone wants to look healthier, changing the pigment of your skin is not healthy. Any tan is a sign of skin damage. Your skin gets darker because UV rays force your skin to release melanin, which quickens the aging process and causes skin cancer.

Skin cancer is more common than any other form of cancer in the United States; more than two million people are diagnosed annually.

With spring here and sum-

mer right around the corner, skin cancer should be a hot topic. There is much fun to be had under the sun, but without the proper precautions the sun can turn deadly.

People tend to disregard warnings about dangers that most likely won’t affect them in the near future, such as the dangers of tobacco.

Just a few sunburns can nearly double your chances of getting skin cancer. The NCI found that tanning beds in-

crease in the risk of basal cell carcinoma by 50 percent and more than a 100 percent increase occurs in risks of squamous cell carcinoma – two common forms of skin cancer.

Stay out of the tanning bed and always protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays.

Before you envy the next person’s tan, remember its high cost and the damage it has already done.

Inexpensive hostels provide alternative for students Robert Davis columnist

American college students are missing out on a great opportunity that their European counterparts have been experiencing for a long time.

Hostels provide travelers with a unique and inexpensive experience that you just can’t get staying at a hotel.

When most Americans hear the word “hostel,” the first thing that comes to mind is the Eli Roth horror series. It’s truly unfortunate this is the only concept that many Americans have of these budget-friendly travel havens.

Becoming a victim of the human organ trafficking trade should be the least of your worries when hosteling.

Just because hostels are rare in the U.S. doesn’t mean it’s not a viable form of lodging when traveling abroad. In places like Europe, hostels can be found almost anywhere and have become a time-honored tradition among twenty-something-yearold travelers.

Americans have become well accustomed to taking a swift kick to the rear every time they buy a plane ticket. Add the cost of overnight lodging and traveling abroad may seem impossible.

While airfare isn’t likely to get cheaper anytime soon (although a carefully purchased plane ticket can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars), this cost can be offset by opting to stay in low-cost hostels rather than expensive hotels.

Hostels provide travelers with a cheap alternative to the traditional hotel stay. Even low-end hotels run anywhere from $50 to $70 a night; you can add another $30-$40 to that if you’re staying in large metropolitan areas like London or Paris. On an extended trip abroad, these costs can add up to thousands

Travelers come from across the world at stay in hostels for affordable rates. of dollars.

It’s no wonder why so many students think overseas travel is the exclusive realm of the idle rich.

Hostels can be found in these same areas for $20-$30 a night.

You can find them even cheaper if you’re visiting less frequently traveled areas.

Additionally, most hostels have a communal kitchen where you can prepare your own meals from food purchased at a local market, rather than paying to eat out three times a day.

You’re probably thinking

“Well I don’t want to spend my time in Europe at some $15, disease-infested halfway-house.”

The reason hostels are cheap is because they are efficient, not decrepit.

Sure, you’ll probably have to trade that king size bed propped up in front of a 60” plasma TV for a dorm style room with four sets of bunk beds, but hostels offer something a little more real – something you can’t get locked behind the door of your own private suite – a chance to interact with and learn from people from a multitude of different cultures.

That’s the driving idea behind hostels. Living in a communal atmosphere with people of every creed and color gives you the opportunity to experience diversity and be in the company of adventurous and like-minded people.

It’s a lot easier to make new friends while traveling when you’re sleeping, eating and partying with them for days at a time, rather than bumping into them at some tourist trap.

Did I mention you would be partying with these people?

Many of these places, such as the Flying Pig Hostel in Amster-

dam, have full bars where travelers can meet and talk about their experiences over a cold drink.

While staying in a hostel, you will likely be surrounded by seasoned travelers who can offer great advice on things to do and places to visit in the area.

These kinds of people usually despise the average “tourist experience” where travelers usually end up being herded around like cattle on some tour bus for hours at a time.

They can help you get off the beaten path and fill you in on the hidden gems of the country

you’re visiting such as the best local food, bars and beaches, making your trip all the more unique.

Hopefully, after reading this you will realize that an extended stay abroad is within your reach.

Save the fancy luxury hotels for when you’re old and rich.

Not only will lodging in a hostel save you an enormous amount of cash, but your travel experience will be enriched by the people you meet, the friends you make and the valuable insight you will gain of your host country.

Finish the semester strong by studying efficiently sam viggiano columnist

The semester is almost over!

For most students, the week before dead week is the hardest week on their academic calendar. We have tests, projects, capstones, papers and presentations to finish and secure before we enter the zombie apocalypse that is dead week.

If you have reached a point of desperation about your final projects and papers, and you fear becoming a zombie, do not fret. The following study tips will enhance your study skills, build your knowledge of your present subject and help manage your time.

According to Lehigh University researchers, understanding

and applying concepts, actively reading your textbook, concentrating on understanding the lecture, studying regularly, creating study guides and studying with peers are helpful and recommended study habits.

But who has time with 1720 credit hours to manage? Instead of overwhelming yourself with note cards, notebooks, concept maps and study guides, choose one study skill and allow it evolve into other study habits.

For example, if one should start reviewing class material before the next class, one might start to ask questions before or during class to one’s peers and teachers.

Asking your peers questions could lead to a study group or expressing a studying concern that could lead to the creation of a study guide. This snowball effect of studying will lead to better grades and better study

skills.

But do not overdo the studying – research suggests mulitasking can be ineffective.Thus, focusing your attention on the task at hand and not on the creation of multiple concept maps, study guides and note cards will benefit your time and study habits.

Likewise, choosing a study group of friends, or even class acquaintances, can be helpful when preparing for an exam.

Of course, choose dependable peers before your start studying. Studying typically doesn’t include a keg or Super Smash Brothers. Although regular breaks are ideal, don’t get carried away.

When studying in a group, it helps to review your materials before your start studying.

Studying before studying seems like overcompensation – but reviewing before meeting

with a study group will hopefully give insight to key concepts and questions that need to be reviewed.

Therefore, come to the table prepared and expect to have a discussion of the key concepts and materials presented during your class period. You never know what you missed and what your peers picked up.

At this point in the semester, your study skills might be more aptly applied to Xbox, but now is the time to focus.

Stay in a positive mood before, while and after you study.

Don’t hang around students who bring constant negativity or anxiety to the group. Studying and relaxing should be synonymous with another one other.

Similarly, change your environment. According to Christine Carter, a sociologist at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, “Kids do not have

to do their homework at the same time and same place.

“We human beings actually learn better if we vary the environments in which we study …

Cognitive scientists believe that studying something in multiple environments increases the neural connections in our brains associated with what we are trying to learn,” she said.

So, crack a book on the PRT, listen to a lecture while on the treadmill or running around the track, bring your notes to the gym to review in between sets or to the dining hall and review while you eat.

More importantly, designate places where you won’t study, as opposed to where you will study.

In terms of psychology, applied behavior analysis which involves the observable relationship of behavior to the environment, suggests that find-

ing separate places to relax and study will maximize efficiency.

If studying is a taxing experience, do not study in a place where you relate with relaxation, such as a bedroom. Although the name homework suggests doing school work at home, keep your home separate from your work.

Studying regularly in short increments is the most ideal habit.

Although we are busy and these suggestions seem to only work in a perfect world, it is up to the student to create the perfect world. Ultimately, find the time to study and just do it.

Without the behavioral modification techniques and multitasking, successful studying is simply sitting down and applying oneself work.

You don’t need fancy note cards or notes organized by color – just sit down and study.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you are an emotional pendulum, swinging from moody to introverted and from emotional to dynamic. You act before thinking and are full of energy. Others might wonder who is the real you. Try both sides of your personality this year. If you are single, you attract impulsive and spontaneous people. As a result, your relationships will have an unpredictable tone. If you are attached, the two of you become more carefree than you were before you met each other. You infuse your relationship with a wild excitement. Another ARIES might be very different, but he or she has a similar intensity.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH How you feel when you wake up and how you feel by noon could be very different.

You sense that you are in a whirlwind of emotions, but one you can handle. Put 110 percent into whatever you do, and you will be pleased with the results. Tonight: Go with whimsy.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Say less and listen more. You cannot help but gain understanding through a conversation. You suddenly might understand why someone decided to head in a particular direction. Schedule a much-needed checkup. Tonight: Get some extra z’s.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Your friendship means a lot to others. You also have a lot of responsibilities. Be realistic -- you can spread yourself only so thin, even as energetic as you are. A meeting provokes many ideas and suggestions.

Still, the unforeseen will play into your

plans. Remember, you like excitement.

Tonight: Follow the fun.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You are on top of your game. Listen to news from a boss or older friend with a grain of salt. Everything could reverse itself before the end of the day. Stay direct when dealing with others; do not lose your focus. Tonight: You might decide to go your own way.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Detach, and you’ll seem far more supportive to others, as there is less of a tendency to trigger a reaction. What you will notice is that what you would judge in someone else is present within yourself. Use this situation as an opportunity to get past your issues. Tonight: Wherever there is good music.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Togetherness comes from letting go of your view of what should be. Try to see life from a different perspective. Ask questions. You’ll soon discover that there is no right or wrong, only what works for an individual. Tonight: Jump on an opportunity.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Defer to others for the moment; listen to their views. You are likely to have an animated debate. The unexpected runs riot in the best-laid plans, especially involving a partner or key associate. Hang in there.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Be aware of what is happening behind the scenes. Know what you want from a situation. Communication is vital, in that it will lead you and others to find a new ap-

proach to handling a problematic issue.

Trust yourself, and you will find answers.

Tonight: All fired up.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Infuse whatever situation you are in with creativity and perspective. Others will jump on the bandwagon with you as they see the wisdom of your ways. A surprise could he heading down the pike, just for you. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Sometimes you need to stop and center yourself. Part of the reason that this process seems necessary is that you are changing. Old choices reflect your former self. Stop and revamp your decisions; you want them to fit the new you. Tonight: Don’t stray far from home.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Keep conversations moving. You can facilitate a friendship or agreement just by employing your innate skills. Your perceptions might be changing during this process. What you think is a problem might no longer be the case. Tonight: Join a friend for dinner.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Listen to news carefully. Be aware of what is being shared by someone whose financial wisdom you respect. A meeting could be provocative and draw a strong reaction. Use care, as you might be more unpredictable than usual. Tonight: Tap into self-discipline.

Braun back at natural position on right side of O-line

BY NICK ARTHUR SPORTS WRITER

Much like last season, West Virginia senior guard Jeff Braun is changing sides on the offensive line.

This time, it’s for the best.

An injury to left guard Josh Jenkins in 2011 spring games forced Braun to make the move from the right side of the line to the left.

This spring, Jenkins is healthy once again, and Braun is making the transition back to his more natural home on the right side.

“He’s doing good. He’s been kind of a vocalist,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“He didn’t have a whole lot of confidence last year. He missed last spring, that probably had something to do with it. He has settled in, and he has got some confidence.”

Braun agrees that his confidence level has been the catalyst to his success this spring.

But what caused this sudden burst of confidence?

“I think it all avalanched off of the Orange Bowl,” Braun said. “I watch that game all the time. I had a good game and it has just avalanched into this spring. I just want to try to do what I did in that game and have it carry over.”

Playing on the right side of the offensive line is something he had done his entire football career before the

2011 campaign.

“It’s just being righthanded and having my right foot back a little bit,” he said. “It’s a little more natural. Plus, early in my career, I started on the right side. I just have accumulated more reps on the right side. I’m com-

fortable going back.”

Mountaineer redshirt senior center Joe Madsen has had the luxury of witnessing Braun playing to both his left and right during his career.

He agrees that the right side is where Braun is at his best.

“He can play center, guard, wherever he needs to play, he’ll play,” Madsen said. “But he just knows his steps better on the right side and has the plays down on that side.”

As a unit, the West Virginia offensive line will return four of its five starters in 2012. Add

the comeback of Josh Jenkins, and this line could be one of the most talented and experienced units Morgantown has seen quite some time.

“We want to strive to get better,” Braun said. “One thing that we’ve been try-

ing to do this spring is just to get a nastiness about us.

Just to go out there and be the most physical group that we can be and put people on the ground. I think we’ve been doing that.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Gomez’s late goal leads Bayern past Real Madrid 2-1 MUNICH (AP) — Mario Gomez scored in the 90th minute Tuesday to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.

Gomez’s 12th goal of this year’s competition boosted Bayern’s hopes of becoming the first team to play the Champions League final at its own stadium, and earn its fifth title.

Franck Ribery opened the scoring in the 17th minute for Bayern Munich and Mesut Oezil equalized in the 53rd.

The second leg is next week in Madrid.

The other semifinal begins Wednesday when Barcelona is at Chelsea.

Real took its first defeat in the Champions League this season, but the away goal could be decisive for the ninetime champions.

Gomez knocked the ball in after Philipp Lahm broke through on the right and sent in a low cross. Gomez powered through to extend his right leg and prod the ball home from close range.

Ribery put in a shot from inside the penalty area after Real had failed to clear a corner kick by Toni Kroos, with Sergio Ramos practically chesting the ball down for the

Frenchman to score the first goal.

The equalizer came with Bayern’s defense looking uncharacteristically in disarray.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer stopped Cristiano Ronaldo’s effort, but could not hold the ball. Real regained possession, with Oezil passing to Karim Benzema, who found Ronaldo again. The Real star passed across the goal for Oezil to score from 2 yards.

House committee puts Vikings stadium bill in doubt ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Vikings have had no stronger booster at Minnesota’s Capitol than Gov. Mark Dayton, who now faces the Herculean task of trying to keep the team’s bid to build a taxpayer-subsidized new stadium alive in the waning days of the legislative session after the proposal failed a committee vote in the state

House.

The House Government Operations Committee voted 9-6 against the stadium bill Monday night, dealing a major blow to the team’s decadelong effort to secure a replacement for the Metrodome. The vote came just after 10 p.m., following a four-hour hearing during which lawmakers heaped criticism on the $975 million planned partnership between the team, the state and the city of Minneapolis.

“Somebody’s going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat for this thing to be alive at this point,” said Rep. Morrie Lanning, the chief House sponsor of the stadium plan. A Senate version of the stadium bill has been stalled in that chamber for the last month.

Lester Bagley, the Vikings’ point man on the stadium push at the Capitol, said after the committee vote that the team was “extremely disappointed” at the outcome.

“I guess I would ask the state, what else would you expect us to do? What else can we do?” he said.

Dayton has repeatedly stressed that he believes failure to help the team build a new stadium could result in Minnesota losing the Vikings

to another city. The Democratic governor through a spokeswoman declined immediate comment on the committee vote.

Dayton was scheduled to meet Republican legislative leaders first thing Tuesday to talk about the final days of the session, which is expected to wrap up before the end of April. The developments of Monday night are likely to be a major part of that discussion. In addition to tying the team’s future to Minnesota, Dayton has been touting the stadium proposal as a way to create thousands of construction jobs.

Bagley said the team would continue to push the proposal as long as the Legislature remains in session. “But this is extremely disappointing, and it sends a strong message to the Vikings and the NFL about the situation,” he said.

He would not say whether the committee vote made the team’s future in Minnesota any less secure.

The proposal that fell in the House committee would have split the tab three ways for a stadium proposed to be built at the current Metrodome site in downtown Minneapolis: $398 million from the state

from taxes on expanded gambling, $150 million from the city of Minneapolis from existing sales taxes and $427 million from the Vikings with assistance likely from the NFL. Prior to the vote, Vikings officials faced tough questioning from several committee members who said they weren’t convinced the proposal is a good deal for taxpayers.

“How do we as representatives of public taxpayers, how do we know we’re getting a good deal?” asked Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, who went on to vote against the proposal. Rep. Bev Scalze, DFL-Little Canada, questioned whether a football stadium was a defensible use for $398 million in proposed new tax revenue when the state is just starting to recover from several years of persistent budget shortfalls.

Rep. Dean Urdahl, R-Grove City, raised a question frequently heard from stadium bill critics as the team’s bid has dominated headlines: “Why should we help a billionaire build a stadium he can afford to build himself?” he asked, referencing Vikings owner Zygi Wilf. Bagley defended the project as more than just a football stadium, pointing out it would be used for everything from high school sports tournaments to national events like hosting NCAA basketball finals.

Urdahl ultimately voted to keep the bill alive, one of five Republicans on the committee to support for it along with one Democrat. Of the nine no votes, five came from Democrats and four were from Republicans.

Leading up to the vote, Bagley had reiterated the view of the team’s owners that the Metrodome is no longer sufficiently profitable compared with other NFL venues. While the team is committed to play in the Metrodome for the 2012 football season, it no longer has an active lease in the 30-year-old facility, and team officials have said they do not intend to sign one.

Calhoun leaves West Virginia to Mountaineers ready for spring game be head coach at Fairmont State By cody schuler sports writer

by michael carvelli sports editor

West Virginia assistant coach Jerrod Calhoun was introduced as the new head coach of the Fairmont State men’s basketball team Tuesday afternoon.

It will be Calhoun’s first head coaching job after spending the last five seasons at WVU. He spent four years as the Mountaineers’ director of basketball operations before moving up to assistant coach this season.

“This is the chance of a lifetime to finally be able to run my own program,” Calhoun said in his press conference. “When I was 12 years old, I dreamed about being a head coach, and it has finally come true.”

His college coaching career started after he transferred to Cincinnati after playing at Cleveland State for two seasons where he was a student assistant under current WVU head coach Bob Huggins.

From there, he went on to coach for three seasons at Huggins’ first head coaching destination, Walsh College, where Calhoun helped lead the Cavaliers to the 2005 NAIA national championship and trips to the Elite Eight and Sweet 16 in the two seasons before leaving to join the staff at West Virginia.

“I’ve been trained by the best,” Calhoun said. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at today without Huggs. He taught me everything I know defensively, and he taught me everything I know about life.”

Huggins was excited to see Calhoun land his first head coaching job. As another coach who got his first head coaching job at a young age, he knows how Calhoun is feeling and knows he’s eager to get out there and get started at Fairmont as soon as he can.

“Jerrod’s worked really hard to prepare for this,” Huggins said. “He wants responsibility, he puts a lot of effort into it. He’s really tried to expand his contacts and the people

Continued from page 8 of scholarships. We’ve played 17, 18 years in the Big East with only about 75 percent of the scholarship limit that we’re allowed, so we’ve never really had a chance.”

But even though an increased amount of available scholarships may help the Mountaineers make some kind of an early splash in the Texas and Oklahoma recruiting pool, the incumbent Big 12 schools will undoubtedly have an advantage in that area for at least the foreseeable future.

In addition to overcoming challenges within recruiting, the West Virginia athletic department will have to find some way to either get a new stadium built for the baseball team or ensure the planned Hawley Field renovations happen, because the current facilities are literally on par, or worse, than your average local high school’s field.

“Our facilities are way below average,” Van Zant said of the current complex.

To attract talented players

WVU assistant coach to Bob Huggins, Jerrod Calhoun, was introduced as the new head coach of the Fairmont State men’s basketball team Tuesday. that he knows from a recruiting standpoint and a business standpoint.”

It should come as no surprise that a coach who has studied under Huggins for so long would have the same approach as the veteran head coach.

“I want to win a national championship, but I’m not a guy that’s going to make a lot of promises,” Calhoun said. “We’ll be the hardest working team in America. They have a saying at West Virginia that ‘nobody will out-tough us.’ We’re going to hit guys in the mouth.”

Fairmont State offered Calhoun the job last Friday and after a few days of negotiating, he accepted the offer Monday.

“This was like a recruiting process,” said Fairmont State Athletic Director Rusty Elliott.

“There were a lot of people we looked at, a lot of people we kept in touch with and we had

to narrow it down to the one we think can do the best job.”

As far as Huggins’ role in the process, he didn’t do much.

Calhoun knew that whenever he needed him for help, he’d be there to do what he could.

“I just answered whatever questions he had. If he asked me something, I told him,” Huggins said. “I tried to fill him in as best I could on whatever it was that he wanted to know from my perspective and what I’ve experienced over the years.”

As far as Calhoun’s replacement on West Virginia’s staff, Huggins said there’s no timeline set as of now for when he would like to see the spot filled.

“We’ve got two weekends we can go out and recruit, and I’m not going to be able to hire anybody before then,” he said.

in the Big 12, the Mountaineers will need a place they can be proud to call home, facilities that could justifiably belong to a Division I NCAA athletic program – along with a supportive fan base to match.

It’s no secret how fiercely loyal and enthusiastic Mountaineer athletic fans have been throughout the history of our programs, but supporters for the baseball team usually number in the hundreds versus the tens of thousands who regularly turn out for basketball and football.

Lately, it seems like some visiting teams even have about as much audible support as West Virginia’s baseball team at Hawley; and it’s honestly feasible that next year Hawley wouldn’t even have enough room to support the amount of fans who travel with teams like Texas.

Again, more inviting, hospitable facilities may provide this necessary spark for the West Virginia fan base next year, but consistent excitement will undoubtedly begin and end with the Mountaineers’ success on the field.

Fortunately for West Virginia, they will be bringing

back a solid foundation of young, talented personnel. In fact, aside from Eric Hinkle, the baseball team will likely return every one of the players who have seen action for West Virginia so far this season. Each will be another year older, experienced and increasingly familiar with the role they will fill within the team.

Many of the talented players, who are out of junior college, will have an entire season of at-bats and pitching appearances under their belts, and the Mountaineers expect to get back some of their most talented hitters from injury.

“Just having everybody back a year older, a year smarter, a year stronger; that makes a big difference,” Van Zant said.

This will be why, against the odds, West Virginia’s baseball will have a chance to succeed in a loaded Big 12 Conference next year.

Make no mistake, it will be – without a doubt – one of the toughest challenges the program has ever had to face.

james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

For the most part, spring football practice can be described as a litany of repetition. Day after day, players and coaches run through the same drills, ticking off another day on the calendar as the real season – and real competition – arrive.

After the 13th practice of spring, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen feels the monotony of spring practice is starting to catch up with his team – which seems to be the case with just about every team. “(Practice is) winding down and as it is every year in spring, you’re not preparing for an opponent and guys get tired of doing the same thing – tired of practice and tired of going against each other and all that stuff,” he said.

“The guys that truly love the game are the ones that can push through it, so you start separating some guys that think football is just fun and guys that it really means something to, which is kind of where we’re at now.”

With only one practice remaining before Saturday’s Gold-Blue game, Holgorsen hopes to continue building upon the improvements the coaching staff has seen so far.

One aspect that is greatly aiding those improvements is competition, which Holgorsen believes to be this team’s greatest trait.

“The one thing I like about this team more than anything is the back and forth nature that exists,” he said.

“I’ve been on some teams where it’s completely onesided, and you don’t win a whole lot of games with it being like that.”

While many West Virginia fans are anxiously waiting to see the Mountaineers’ prolific offensive attack on the field again, Holgorsen is interested to see how well the rapidly improving defense will perform in the spring game.

“Defense is probably making a whole lot more improve-

Head coach Dana Holgorsen throws a ball to receivers during practice last week. Holgorsen has tried to keep practices eventful as they can become monotonous after several days. ment than offense is,” he said.

“Offense is starting to get a little complacent.

“I don’t know if they’re reading too much about how good they are or what, but they’re getting a little more complacent and the defense is flying around making plays and excited about what’s happening.”

Last spring, West Virginia felt confident in its defense and weary about its offense.

The defense was loaded with returning starters that had already achieved success, and the Mountaineers expected that success to carry over into the upcoming season.

This season, however, expectations have switched. The offense figures to be the cornerstone of the team while the defense is going through a transition phase reminiscent of what last season’s offense undertook.

For Holgorsen, the general feeling around camp is pretty simple to sum up.

“All the roles are reversed.

“Last year, we had more experience on defense; guys knew what they were doing,” he said.

“With change comes probably a breath of fresh air for specific individuals, and towards the end of spring, defensively, we knew we were going to be pretty good , but offensively, we started kind of getting things together and started understanding what to do and had some success in the spring game.

“This year, it’s kind of just the opposite; offense knows what they’re doing (and) defense (has) kind of a breath of fresh air over there, and it seems like they are anxious and eager to get out there and get better everyday,” he said.

Ever the oracle, Holgorsen established what he believes is a potential scenario for Saturday’s Gold-Blue game.

“If I was guessing and I would fast forward to this spring game, (I’d) say defense will probably play pretty good and offense will probably go out there and think they’re good and go through the motions and not get any better,” he said.

“That would be my guess.” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

OFFENSIVE OUTBURST

Redshirt sophomore Matt Frazer, No. 47, went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in the Mountaineers win against Akron Tuesday.

Frazer leads WVU to 17-6 win over Akron on the road to end the Mountaineers four-game losing streak

By Ben Gaughan

associate sports editor

An offensive explosion propelled the West Virginia baseball team to a 17-6 victory over Akron Tuesday in Canton, Ohio.

West Virginia (15-23, 3-9 Big East) got off to a fast start, against the Zips (14-22) scoring three runs in the top of the first inning.

Redshirt sophomore Matt Frazer hit a two-run homer off of Akron’s Tyler Smith to give WVU an early 3-0 lead. Junior second baseman Brady Wilson scored on a passed ball beforehand.

“It definitely was a good effort on our guys’ part,” said WVU head coach Greg Van Zant. “That

should help out the team’s confidence scoring some runs, getting our offense going and help (us) get on a roll.”

The Mountaineers added one run in three straight innings to increase the lead to 5-0.

The third inning was headed

by Frazer who hit an RBI double, again scoring Wilson, who was on second base after a double of his own. Frazer went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in the game.

In the fourth inning, Stuart Jeck hit a single down the right field line to plate Billy Fleming, building the lead to 5-0.

Boyd led off the fifth inning with a single and stole second, for his second steal of the game.

After McBroom reached base on an error, Boyd reached third and scored on another throwing error by the Akron infield.

“What was really important, too, was we got one run in three consecutive innings, got (the lead) stretched out and put some distance between us.

That’s what you have to do to win games,” Van Zant said.

The Mountaineers led off their big sixth inning with threestraight singles by junior Stuart Jeck, Wilson and Boyd, respectively. Boyd scored Jeck on his single and advanced to second base on the throw. McBroom then singled to score Wilson and Frazer followed that up with an RBI double to right center field

to give West Virginia a 10-1 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth.

Akron got three runs back in the bottom half of the inning after some errors by the West Virginia pitchers.

Joey Havrilak, who pinch hit for Washington, was hit by a pitch and Turocy, who pinch hit for Gamby, walked. Havrilak then advanced to second and Turocy then advanced to third on a balk by Bargeron.

Two batters later, center fielder Devan Ahart tripled off of reliever Pen Nakazato to right center field, scoring all three base runners and cutting the WVU lead to six.

Nakazato pitched two in-

nings, giving up three hits and two runs, while striking out one.

West Virginia’s seventh inning was even better than the sixth, as the Mountaineers scored seven runs on just three hits.

Two walks by Fleming and redshiert sophomore Nate Antone led to two runs for the Mountaineers. Alan Filaurio reached on an error and Jeck walked to set up a Wilson RBI single. Wilson reached second on an error by the Akron right fielder and got to third on the throw.

Boyd followed with a groundout to second that scored Wilson, and McBroom followed with a single to center.

A few batters later, Chris

Rasky was hit by a pitch, advancing Frazer, who walked, to second and McBroom to third.

All three players advanced on the next play thanks to a wild pitch, which allowed McBroom to score.

Antone singled to shortstop and Frazer scored the Mountaineers final run of the game.

WVU redshirt sophomore Zach Bargeron started on the mound — going five innings, while giving up three runs and striking out three.

“We really needed to get this one,” he said. “We did not want Akron to win the season series against us.” ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia baseball faces uphill battle in transition to Big 12 Doug walp sports WRITER

In October 2011, the Big 12 Conference Board of Directors unanimously voted West Virginia in as a full conference member effective July 1, 2012, justly rewarding the performance of Mountaineer athletics over the last few decades.

The decision was met with obvious excitement and intrigue from Morgantown sports enthusiasts. Both the football and men’s basketball teams are looking to experience possible success in the prestigious, talent-packed conference right away. But for the West Virginia baseball team, it could be a longer, more difficult road.

Both the football and men’s basketball teams have two

iconic names currently at the helms of their programs in Bob Huggins and Dana Holgorsen.

The football team is obviously fresh off a dramatic, record-setting BCS bowl victory – their third in three attempts.

And although men’s basketball just lost one of the best players to ever suit up for West Virginia, they’re only a few years off an impressive Final Four run and have at least been to the big dance in every

season that Huggins has been the coach.

But just about a third of the way into the 2012 season, the West Virginia baseball team is struggling.

The Mountaineers are nine games under .500 and currently sit second-last in a conference which is not widely known for its baseball strength or popularity. In 2011, there were eight of the total 11 Big 12 teams in the top 43 of total

attendance nationally, yet not a single baseball team from the Big East even cracked the top 50.

In addition to the Big 12 packing their ballparks on a regular basis, conference members have often experienced collective success in their postseason runs in Omaha, while simultaneously churning out future professionals.

The transition could also

present an all-together new recruiting dynamic, but according to West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant the transition actually cultivates some new opportunities for Mountaineer recruiting.

“It opens up some doors geographically,” Van Zant said.

“But what’s really gonna help us is now Oliver Luck told us we can have the full allotment

Underground Sound

’Death by Stereo’ Umphrey’s McGee While Umphrey’s McGee is labeled by most as a jam band, these masters of music regularly push the boundaries and refuse to be limited to one genre of music.

The September 2011 release of “Death By Stereo,” the Midwestern band’s sixth studio effort, continues this trend and fails to disappoint fans.

The band changed direction after its 2009 release “Mantis,” which was their first album featuring an entire stock of never heard before tracks.

“Death By Stereo” features many studio tracks that longtime Umphrey’s McGee fans have waited to hear. “Hajimemashite,” the 10th track on the album, has been in the band’s archive for nearly 15 years without appearing on a major record label release. But, fans have no need to worry; the studio versions of these songs have all been recorded and mixed with perfection.

The biggest difference between “Death By Stereo” and previous Umphrey’s McGee studio albums is the shortened track lengths. There is only one song on the album surpassing six minutes.

Although the band makes an effort to take progressive rock to the next level in the digital age, “Death

By Stereo” proves Umphrey’s McGee can record a studio album featuring the essence of the classics.

Do your ears cry salty tears of disappointment every time you turn on the radio?

Do you find yourself banging your head for no reason at all as you walk down the street?

If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you desperately need to check out death metal and grindcore group Logistic Slaughter’s latest demo, simply titled “Demo.”

A five-piece group out of Livermore, Ca., Logistic Slaughter is cracking skulls across the United States with its relentless heavy attack of double-bass drumming, brutal vocals and technical but crushing guitar work.

“Demo” exemplifies this sound.

From the opening track, “Innocence Proves Nothing,” to the demo’s conclusion, “F--- Your Scene S---,” the listener is submerged in a world of death metal perfection.

The vocals are fierce, the drumming is precise, and the guitars are flawless in executing the mayhem found throughout the demo.

While not necessarily bringing anything new to the genre, Logistic Slaughter does a phenomenal job of capturing the essence of death metal and grindcore on this fourtrack demo, and the result is a supremely satisfying listen for the metalhead who is craving a release from the processed world of music we live in.

The Lumineers, from Denver, are a refreshing roots revival band that dredges up memories of yesterday with present, upbeat tempos.

Front man Wesley Schultz is instantly reminiscent of Bob Dylan, but his voice carries undeniable lightness and youth.

“Classy Girls,” is an upbeat song with fun lyrics – there’s no melancholy here, but it’s clearly under a folk or roots influence.

“Submarines” begins to blur the line further with strict tempos dictated by drum snares and piano accompaniment. The song paints pictures of rusting ships and the tumultuous seas.

Album single “Ho Hey” breaks away from the peppy guitar chords and slows down the music – but continues to surprise.

As Schultz delivers the lyrics beautifully, other band members Neyla Pekarek and Jermiah Fraites sing staccato “heys” and “ohs,” keeping the tempo moving quicker. The mandolin carries the lead instrument part, being a true companion to Schultz’s vocals.

Overall, The Lumineers’ first self-titled album is wonderful listen.

Metal heads do not fret – your passion is still alive and well. And it can be found in the new Soulfly album “Enslaved.”

Max Cavalera, the band’s renowned front man, has kept the idea for “Enslaved” in the archives since his Sepultura days of the 1990s, but couldn’t get it out until now.

While the album does have its repetitive riffs, it does reach new heights previously untouched by the veterans of metal. It’s easy for followers of the Cavalera brothers –Max and Igor Cavalera were both major contributors in Sepultura, The Cavalera Conspiracy and Soulfly – to hear past, present and future influences of the group.

The past: early Sepultura and Soulfly will never leave the Cavaleras. Their unique metal-tribal sound can never be duplicated, and is always heard in their work.

The present: while newer bands continue to raise the bar in the metal world, this album proves that Soulfly still has what it takes to write and perform metal to newer and younger audiences.

The future: with this being the eighth Soulfly album under Roadrunner Records, it’s a clear effort to let the world know they can bring originality and classic metal together – proving they aren’t going away anytime soon.

The RMS Titanic sinks as passangers take a lifeboat away from the wreck in ‘Titanic 3-D.’

elizabeth finley a&E writer

On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic crashed into an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage.

In 1997, Hollywood took the disaster and turned it into a romantic Hollywood hit. Directed by James Cameron, it is one of the highest grossing movies of all time, making $1,843,201,268 worldwide.

Recently, the film was converted to 3-D, as it has become a recent fad to theatrically rerelease older films in 3-D.

“Titanic” tells a love story between two young people who cross the social boundaries of class. Jack, who won his ticket in a poker game, meets Rose, who is very wealthy and already engaged.

As their love develops, the ship falls apart. Rose and Jack end up in the freezing ocean after the boat sinks. Tragically, there is only one door for Rose to float on, and Jack is left to sink to his wet, icy grave.

For some reason, people are so entwined in the fictional love story of a real disaster that they are willing to pay to see it in theaters all over again.

Joe Morgenstern, a movie

critic with The Wall Street Journal, said in his review of the Titanic “Jack’s shouting ‘I’m the king of the world!’ from his perch on the prow was endearing 15 years ago; now it’s even more so, thanks to the passage of time- Leonardo DiCaprio looks so touchingly young- as well as to the addition of a virtual dimension.”

Nostalgia is certainly part of the pull that lures people back into the theaters for the rerelease.

People had good experiences seeing it the first time – perhaps with a loved one – and they want to relive that same experience again.

“There was nothing distracting about the 3-D. It’s definitely worth going to see the movie again. I really enjoyed it,” said John Jones, an English professor at West Virginia University.

The Titanic is one of those movies that is just so lovable. People get wrapped up in the timeless story of love, loss and sacrifice. It may not be for everyone, but the rerelease is a nice treat for diehard “Titanic” fans and 3-D enthusiasts.

Dry the River got its big break with a simple video that went viral, a stripped-down version of the song ‘Bible Belt.’

Justin lesko a&E writer

Currently making a name for themselves at festivals across London, folk-rock band Dry the River released their debut album “Shallow Bed” this week.

While masterfully crafting and polishing their sound, Dry the River does not shy away from experimenting with various sounds or depressing subjects. No song is predictable in the least bit.

A song may start out quick, slow down to a crawl and then build back up with an explosion at the end, as in “Shield

Your Eyes.”

Other songs take the opposite path, starting out slowly and quietly before suddenly becoming loud and fast, like “New Ceremony.” The twists and changes add a dimension to the album keeping the listener intrigued.

Delightful marriages ending in failure, a family destroyed by alcoholism and heartbreak that brings someone to their knees as they question their own existence are just three subjects that define the darker, emotional tone of the album. Singer Peter Liddle’s voice perfectly matches in its honesty and emotion.

Inevitably, the band will be compared to the breakout

London band Mumford and Sons. But Dry the River sounds more like the evil twin to Seattle folk band Fleet Foxes. Vocal effects and harmonies are regularly employed to create an enthralling wall of sound.

Orchestral arrangements or single violins back songs just as often as screeching guitars or thrashing drums.

What sets Dry the River apart from other similar bands is they do not simply sound harmonious and repetitive. In addition to the aforementioned songs’ subjects and unpredictable nature, the songs are by excellent songwriting and complemented matching emotion. Despondent and distraught, Liddle cries and pleads the way

www.guardian.co.uk

only a broken man can in “No Rest.”

“I loved you in the best way possible,” he says before asking “Did you see the fear in my heart?”

In “Bible Belt,” he whispers, “If it’s dark outside/ you light the fire yourself,” while touching upon the previously mentioned issue of alcoholism.

“Shallow Bed” is an excellent debut from the band, helping to define their airy sound that is both frightening and soothing. Expect this album to put Dry the River on the map on this side of the pond.

West Virginia University’s Symphonic and Concert Bands teamed up Tuesday night for a spring concert at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the Creative Arts Center.

WVU Director of BandsJohn Hendricks, Assistant Director of Bands Jay Drury, Assistant Director of Athletic Bands Christopher Nichter, and graduate assistant Johnny Leonard all had a hand in conducting the joint concert.

The 85-member Concert Band is made up of mostly non-music majors. Among their more popular selections were “The Empire Strikes Back,” by John Williams, and a number of songs from the British musical “Oliver” by Lionel Bart.

Other selections included “The Drunken Sailor” and “Portrait of Freedom.”
