Extended learning awarded six grants by carlee lammers staff writer

West Virginia University’s Extended Learning Program recently awarded six grants to WVU faculty who have developed creative and innovative new summer courses.

The program awarded nearly $120,000 to new courses that take innovative approaches in the fields of ecology, math, writing, music and art.

“Our goal is to increase en-

rollment in summer courses,” said Lynn Reinke, communication director for WVU Extended Learning. “We wanted to encourage faculty to come up with new, creative and innovative courses to attract students to the summer courses.”

Nearly 25 proposals were submitted for the grant, Reinke said, and faculty were instructed to create courses that were innovative either within their own disciplines or took an innovative approach to targeting spe-

cific populations of students.

Reinke said during the decision process special consideration was given to courses that target specific student populations such as at-risk students or veterans.

She said a new “Math for Veterans” course will be offered to refresh or develop the mathematics skills necessary for the University’s veterans to prepare for upper-level mathematics courses.

“This is a special population

we have here,” Reinke said.

“This course is our way of saying ‘we want to help you get back on track.’ ” Other new courses receiving the grant include “A Wilderness Immersion: Native American Ecology” course, where students will learn about the natural living environment the same way Native Americans traditionally came to know it, and “Creative Writing: Writing Appalachian Ecology: Long Term Reflections on Environ-

COOKING FOR A CAUSE

mental Biology,” which combines writing, critical thinking and field experience to get students to think about the longterm future of the planet.

Other summer courses awarded grants include a Robotics Application course, which will allow students to use robotics kits to learn how math and computer programming are used in engineering problem solving; an “Intersection of Jazz and Classical Music Festival” will allow students to ex-

Local chefs compete to benefit Ronald McDonald House charity by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

Charity really is the spice of life.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown hosted its first Chef ’s Challenge Sunday, placing two Morgantown-area master chefs in an hour-long competition to see who could create the best signature dish.

All proceeds from the event benefitted the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown.

Brian Bruner, executive banquet chef at the Waterfront Place Hotel, and Chris McDonald, executive chef at Stefano’s Restaurant, faced off in

the central kitchen of the Ronald McDonald house.

Each chef was given 60 minutes to prepare and plate their entrees for a panel of five judges, who judged each dish on its presentation, taste and originality.

“The whole idea behind not just the Chef’s Challenge, but hosting other events in the house, was to bring the public into the house,” said MaChal Forbes, development coordinator of the Ronald McDonald House. “We wanted them to become more involved with what we do here and with our mission. When people get to walk through the house – see

West Virginia University students have the unique opportunity to travel to Jamaica during spring break and earn class credit through the nonprofit organization Amizade Global Service-Learning.

The trip, “Community Development in the Caribbean,” will provide students the opportunity to earn one international studies credit hour and community service hours.

Amizade is a nonprofit organization that connects individuals and the community through service-learning.

Trey Goff, Amizade Service-Learning coordinator, said one of the best ways to describe Amizade is as a study abroad program, but the organization does much more for the communities it serves.

“The unique thing there is that you’re actually experiencing another culture as a member of that society, and not just the experience on another campus as a college student,” Goff said.

Students who participate in the program will engage in service-learning work with the community in Petersfield, Jamaica. Participants have tutored students, taken part in small construction projects and supported initiatives by an organization in Petersfield, the Association of Clubs through Amizade, he said.

The Davis-Michael Scholars Program, established to support the pre-veterinary medical program at West Virginia University, is offering scholarship opportunities to qualifying students to fund its semester-long study abroad programs.

The program was founded through a donation from two Morgantown sisters, Gladys Davis and Vivian Michael, to support quality veterinary care in the state of West Virginia. The program awards scholarships to pre-veterinary and veterinary students.

Students can be an undergraduate at WVU or have recently received their undergraduate degree from WVU and are committed to a veterinary school, said Tammy Blake, Davis-Michael program associate.

“Along with the scholarships our current students receive, after they’ve graduated from the Davis College with a degree in Animal and Nutritional Sciences and if they get into Veterinary School, we’ll get them a scholarship for every year they’re in school, which is four years,” Blake said.

The Takis Chrysanthou Honored Scholar Award is

available to any pre-veterinary student or graduate with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Students must also complete a 600-word essay to receive the $1,500 study-abroad scholarship.

The Davis-Michael program also helps students find internships while pursuing their undergraduate degree.

The program will help students in the process of choosing a veterinary school by sponsoring a bus tour to various veterinary schools across the country.

The program recently sponsored a trip to Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine and

Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine to give students an opportunity to interview for admission, and take tours of the facilities.

The program also sponsors a free tutoring program in the Kidder Conference Room of the Agricultural Sciences Building Monday through Thursday from 3-7 p.m. Tutors from the program will help students in biology, chemistry, math, physiology, and animal and veterinary science.

The program sponsors an annual 4-H Day, and the 4th annual Davis-Michael 4-H

exact service participants will be doing because we take all of our service directives from the community itself,” Goff said. “We take our duties from what the community needs at that time.”

Goff said although students will visit local attractions and tourist beaches, they will get a unique look at Jamaica from a service perspective by giving back to community and gaining a unique experience.

“Aside from just getting academic credit and earning community service hours, it’s really good for social development,” he said. “In this global economy, everything is becoming more internationalized, so it’s great to say you’ve been to a developing country and that you know how people live there, which can be very beneficial in the future.”

Amizade’s site partner in Jamaica, Matthias Brown, will visit campus Monday and Friday to meet with students about the trip and answer any questions they may have.

Santorum questions Obama’s ‘world view,’ not faith CUMMING, Ga. (AP) — Rick Santorum on Sunday condemned what he called President Barack Obama’s world view that “elevates the Earth above man,” discouraging increased use of natural resources.

The GOP presidential candidate also slammed Obama’s health care overhaul for requiring insurers to pay for prenatal tests that, Santorum said, will encourage more abortions.

A day after telling an Ohio audience that Obama’s agenda is based on “some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible,” Santorum said he wasn’t criticizing the president’s Christianity.

“I’ve repeatedly said I don’t question the president’s faith.

I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the president’s Christian,” Santorum told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

day in his Ohio campaign appearance when he denounced a “phony theology.”

When pressed by reporters after he made the initial remark, however, Santorum made no mention of the president’s environmental policies. Instead, he suggested that Obama practices one of the “different stripes of Christianity.”

Santorum walked back those comments on CBS Sunday morning.

But later in the day, he again criticized Obama’s “theology” – with no reference to his environmental policies – while speaking to more than 2,000 supporters gathered at a suburban Atlanta megachurch.

The president is “trampling on a constitutional right,” Santorum said of the Obama administration’s recent decision to allow employees of religious schools and hospitals to have

birth control covered by their insurance policies.

“It is imposing his ideology on a group of people expressing their theology, their moral code,” Santorum told those gathered in the First Redeemer Church, a megachurch that hosted former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee four years ago.

Obama’s campaign said Santorum’s initial remarks were another attack on the president’s faith by Republican rivals in a nominating contest that has grown increasingly bitter and negative.

“It’s just time to get rid of this mindset in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith,” said Robert Gibbs, Obama’s former press secretary, on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Those days have long passed in our politics. Our problems and our challenges

are far too great,” Gibbs said.

Santorum said his claim that Obama’s health care overhaul encourages abortions stems from the requirement for insurance companies to pay for prenatal testing, which he said will result in more pregnant women having more procedures. He specified amniocentesis, a procedure that can identify physical problems in the unborn.

“The bottom line is a lot of prenatal tests are done to identify deformities in utero and the customary procedure is to encourage abortion,” he said.

A doctor recommended abortion when a sonogram discovered health problems for Santorum’s youngest daughter, who was born three years ago with a genetic condition known as Trisomy 18, which typically proves fatal. She has lived longer than most children born with the condition.

Romney cites Olympics success, rivals leery SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Mitt Romney returned to Salt Lake City on Saturday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2002 Winter Games he helped lead, but the GOP presidential candidate has come under attack for urging the federal government to provide big bucks for Olympic expenses.

So instead of touting his role as savior in the wake of a bribery scandal, as he usually does, Romney told finger-wagging stories about cutting the budget for decorating the city and for building the giant cauldron that held the Olympic flame.

“We had to cut back on spending, as you probably know,” Romney told the crowd gathered at the EnergySolutions arena for a performance of Stars on Ice. He walked in with figure skater and gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, who offered the argument Romney usually makes on the campaign trail. Because of “the fire he lit from within, the games were a tremendous success,” she said, referring to the games’ theme song, “Light

The Ronald McDonald charity house in Morgantown was founded in 1990 and serves families whose children are suffering from illnesses or severe injuries and are currently hospitalized in Morgantown.

The house consists of 16 bedrooms and a large central living room and kitchen area where families can cook and interact with their children and other families.

The Ronald McDonald house also announced plans for the creation of a family area within Ruby Memorial Hospital to create a family-friendly space near the children’s intensive care unit.

“It would basically be a miniature Ronald McDonald House – a family room, a kitchen area – a place where families can come from the NICU, the PICU, and stay right in the hospital,” said Nicole Saffron, Ronald McDonald House board member and announcer

the Fire Within.”

Romney was hired to lead the Salt Lake Olympic Committee after a bribery scandal threatened the games. The success of those Olympics, he says during the campaign, help make the case for his bid for the White House.

“I led an Olympics out of the shadows of scandal,” Romney told conservative activists this month, repeating a claim he has made dozens of times on the campaign trail.

His time running the games has proved a boon in other ways.

Ahead of his remarks, Romney held a high-dollar fundraiser in Salt Lake with many of the business and community leaders he worked with at the Olympics.

The fundraiser was hosted

by Fraser Bullock, who helped him run the Salt Lake Games.

Bullock is also major donor to an super PAC that is supporting Romney’s bid. Several people listed as associated with the group, Restore Our Future, were on a list of special guests for Saturday night’s ice skating ceremonies.

In brief remarks to Olympic staff and volunteers and again at the skating event Saturday night, Romney said he cut millions from the budget to decorate the city and argued some of the venues built in Salt Lake cost much less than they had in other cities that had hosted winter games.

Romney said he cut the cauldron’s budget back to $500,000 and eventually secured an $8 million donation to pay for the enormous, clear glass structure where the Olympic flame burned during the 2002 games.

Romney’s opponents are attacking his record at the games, with both Democrats and GOP presidential rival Rick Santorum criticizing Romney for helping to secure millions in federal earmarks that helped cover Olympic costs.

One of the things he talks about most is how he heroically showed up on the scene and bailed out and resolved the problems of the Salt Lake City Olympic Games,” Santorum said during a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio.

for the event. “They don’t have to leave – they can relax, they can watch TV without even crossing the parking lot, which can be pretty far when you’re in that situation.”

Judges for the competition included Candace Nelson, a graduate journalism student at West Virginia University who operates a blog evaluating local Morgantown cuisine; Nikki Bowman, owner and editor of WV Living Magazine; Cheryl Jones, director of WVU Children’s hospital; Jeff Hostetler, a former WVU football player and NFL quarterback; and Steve De Jesus, the executive director and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities in Morgantown.

Chef Bruner presented the panel with a “surf and turf” appetizer, which featured scallops, filet, a mixture of wild mushrooms and sweet corn puree, served with a port wine reduction. Chef McDonald created his interpretation of shrimp and grits: shrimp and Italian sausage served over a Brie and smoked cheddar polenta with a roasted pepper cream sauce and roasted red pepper relish.

“The two dishes were like

night and day in terms of distinctive styles,” De Jesus said.

“I was surprised with both of them – I knew they would be good, but not that outstanding.

It was really difficult to pick a winner.”

Chef McDonald was declared the winner of the competition and was presented with a personalized Ronald McDonald House chef’s jacket.

The 50-member audience was allowed to sample each chef’s dish, and vote for their favorite.

The people’s choice winner will be announced through the organization’s twitter feed and via its website, www.rmhcmgtn.org.

“I didn’t expect to win, but I was hoping to win,” McDonald said. “I’ve worked with Chef Bruner at both the Glasshouse Grill and the Waterfront Place Hotel, so I’ve known him for a long time, and it was awesome to be able to go one-on-one against him.”

Ky’s Lounge hosts fundraiser, fashion show for charity

by Caitlin graziani A&E Editor

Ky’s Lounge in Morgantown kicked off their three-day fundraiser event Thursday night.

The purpose of the marathon fundraiser was to raise money for The Kyleigh Sousa Foundation, Ryan’s Rally and research toward traumatic brain injury.

Bernie Sousa, owner of Ky’s Lounge, lost his sister, Kyleigh, a few years ago to traumatic brain injury.

Kyleigh was a student at Arizona State University, and she worked as a waitress at a tavern. One night she left work and went to IHop and, while in the parking lot, Kyleigh was mugged by a person in a moving vehicle.

Her attacker tried to grab her purse, but the strap was wrapped around her wrist.

Kyleigh was dragged more than 20 feet by the moving vehicle before she passed away of traumatic brain injury.

Ky’s Lounge serves as Bernie’s platform to raise aware-

ness about Kyleigh as well as other victims of violent crime.

This years charity also involved raising money for Ryan’s Rally, to help Ryan Diviney.

On Nov. 7, 2009 Diviney was beaten in the Willey Street Dairy Mart parking lot by two individuals during an altercation that was allegedly started because of a debate about the World Series.

The fundraiser was able to raise just under $4,000 for charity. They will be sending a check for at least $3,000 to Ryan’s Rally, Sousa said.

Ky’s Lounge hosted a fashion show with Morgantown’s Park & Madison boutique Friday – the boutique’s first fashion show since its opening.

They showcased brands such as Bailey 44, Betsey Johnson and a variety of shoes and accessories. All proceeds from ticket purchases for the fashion show went towards the charities.

“The show was just fabulous, and the models knocked it out of the park,” said Shannon Coombs, co-owner of Park & Madison. “Our feedback was

all positive and many were saying it was nice to see tasteful, yet completely fashionable outfits at the same time.”

One of the big auction items included four center-ice Pittsburgh Penguins hockey tickets, with limo transportation to and from Pittsburgh for a total price of $1,000.

“This event wasn’t just about awareness for people who didn’t know about the cause, but it also was a reminder for those who did know about Kyleigh and Ryan,” said Ric Holgerheide, who deejayed Friday’s event. “Bernie has such a different motivation for what he does.

He has a job; fund-raising is not about the money for him. It’s solely about the cause, you can’t fake genuine interest like that.”

Spring break road trip music playlist

by Hunter Homistek A&E WRITER

Spring break is such a glorious time of year. No classes, no deadlines and no responsible decisions this late March hiatus a time of year Mountaineers have looked forward to for months.

For those traveling during spring break, you’re going to need some tunes, and for that I’ve brought together five epic CDs to allow you to put your windows down, relax and just jam.

Veil of Maya: “Eclipse” Would you expect me to not put a metal band first? Come on, Shelly. Veil of Maya’s upcoming release, “Eclipse,” promises to bring everything one could want from the Illinois deathcore favorites, and this release, which hits stores Feb. 28, will surely show off a new side of the group.

Veil of Maya is one of the few modern metal groups that shows significant strides with each release, and with each album they become tighter, more creative and more progressive.

If the trend continues on “Eclipse,” we’re looking at an instant go-to album in your metal collection.

For the metalhead making a cross-country expedition on spring break, pick up a copy of “Eclipse” and enjoy the musical journey Veil of Maya has prepared for you.

Mudvayne: “L.D. 50” Admit it, you forgot about Mudvayne’s gold-certified debut studio album “L.D. 50.” This album, which was entirely revolutionary when it was released in 2000 and received skewed criticisms, actually makes a lot more sense today than it did 12 years ago.

Since its release, there has been a surge of progressive metal acts who incorporate electronic elements to their music and, even with expanding technology, none of them do it as well as Mudvayne did in the early part of the millennium.

This album is groundbreaking from start to finish, and it was truly ahead of its time. If you’re a fan of modern metal or just great music in general, turn back the clock and revisit “L.D. 50;” you won’t be disappointed.

Queens of the Stone Age: “Songs for the Deaf” A forgotten classic in many circles, Queen of the Stone Age’s “Songs for the Deaf” is an album that just refuses to get old. While the group has released five albums, “Songs for the Deaf” is the one that really stands out to me.

Featuring Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) on drums and Troy Van Leeuwen (A Perfect Circle) on guitar, “Songs for the Deaf” showcased an all-star lineup for the group and really propelled its career.

If you’re a classic rock fan that is tired of spinning the same Led Zeppelin and AC/DC records, pop in a copy of “Songs for the Deaf,” and enjoy a fresh take on the traditional classic rock sound.

Now That’s What I Call Mu-

sic! Vol. 5 This delightfully cheesy album is a blast back to the sixth grade and all the crazy pre-teen emotions that came with the territory.

As my older sister reminded me daily with her constant blaring of the album, this CD is fun to sing and dance to, and it’s certain to make that 12-hour road trip seem a little shorter.

For those keeping score at home, it features NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and Destiny’s Child all on one CD. Need I say more?

Sublime: Greatest Hits Though a bit disgraceful at only 10 tracks (they had countless more that deserved the title of “greatest hits”), this CD is the epitome of summertime cruising music. Featuring favorites like “What I Got,” and “Doin’ Time,” this CD is a great sample of the Long Beach legends’ body of work and is sure to put you in a summertime state of mind. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

W.Va. puppy mills must be regulated There’s no companion like a dog. Through thick and thin, a well-trained, happy and healthy dog will show more affection and loyalty than most people.

There is a reason dogs are known to be “man’s best friend.”

While there are many places to buy, or even to rescue, a healthy puppy, many breeders take advantage of the dog market and churn out as many puppies for sale as they can – even if it means compromising the health of the animals.

Those who know the enjoyment a dog can bring would

be horrified to see the mistreatment many dogs receive at puppy mills.

Puppy mills are large-scale dog breeding grounds where the dogs’ health is neglected to ensure the sellers are maximizing their profits.

According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals website, dogs housed in puppy mills are usually kept in crowded areas, exposed to unsanitary conditions, lack proper veterinary care and are subject to incest, which can cause many health problems.

Also, dogs bred at puppy

mills are likely to carry diseases and may be prone to health conditions such as epilepsy, heart disease, kidney disease, hip disorders and many others.

Last year, a bill that would have regulated breeders and put restrictions on dog breeding in the state passed in the House, but came to a halt in the Senate.

This session, legislators hope to have more success with a similar bill that would limit breeders to 50 unsterilized dogs older than the age of one, and require breeders to be licensed annually and be

inspected twice a year.

Although this would help many animals in the state, the bill exempts hunting, tracking, show dog and greyhound breeders from state regulation.

This cannot wait another year to pass. Not only do these breeders harm the dogs, but they cheat their customers out of healthy pets, which in turn may require costly veterinary bills.

Urge your representatives to take a stand and speak for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Until puppy mills are fully

regulated, the fight can be placed in the public’s hand.

Don’t buy from breeders who won’t let you see their entire facility or let you visit the mother dog. Also, you should be careful buying from pet stores or breeders found online, as they are most likely to be the ones that sell dogs from puppy mills.

People who own dogs should want their beloved pets to be as healthy and happy as possible, even before they’re official members of the family.

Santorum’s religious-based platform violates rights danielle faipler columnist

While Pennsylvanian exSenator Rick Santorum’s campaign is fueled by his Roman Catholic beliefs and focused around the traditional family, it is too conservative to fit in with the lifestyle of today’s American citizens.

Santorum’s narrow-minded political agenda regarding birth control and abortion violates women’s rights regarding their bodies and mixes politics and religion – something the founding fathers tried to prevent.

According to Santorum’s campaign website, his executive orders are to repeal Title X, which provides funds for family planning groups as well as Planned Parenthood. Repealing this would eliminate access to preventative health care services for women.

Women’s access to abortion services as well as breast cancer screening services would also be limited.

In the 2009/10 Planned Parenthood annual report, the organization provided $699.2 million worth of medical services and performed about 750,000 breast cancer screenings within the last year, according to The Los Angeles In 2010, cancer screening and prevention made up 14.5 percent of medical services, while abortion services amounted to 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services. Planned Parenthood also provides sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment as well as contraception. Together, these two services made up 71 percent of the organization’s medical services.

These services are too important to American society and the control women have of their bodies and their right to make informed decisions about family planning, sex and their health.

When it comes to sex education, Santorum supports an abstinence-only curriculum.

While abstinence is the only surefire way to not get pregnant, it does not reduce the amount of sex teens are having, and it does not decrease pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection rates.

This curriculum does not

work because it does not provide safe-sex information to sexually active teens. These teens may not make informed decisions about contraception because they were taught that sex is bad and pre-marital sex would keep them from going to heaven.

Santorum has also said he would not ban birth control, but he believes states should hold that right. Birth control violates his Roman Catholic beliefs, and he even opposes the use of birth control in marriages. “‘It’s (contraception) not OK.

It’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be … If it’s not for purposes of procreation, then you diminish this very special bond between men and women,’” Santorum said to The Huffington Post.

However, according to ABC News, 84 percent of Catholics approve of birth control and 89 percent of Catholic women think it should be available to women who cannot afford it.

Only 8 percent of all Americans think birth control is wrong.

A woman’s body is not a government-issued object; there-

fore, it should not be subjected to government regulation.

These policies erase the progress the U.S. is making toward gender equality and sets time backwards.

His agenda limits the choices women have regarding their health and freedom.

A 16-year-old girl should not have to be forced to having a child she does not want. She has her whole life ahead of her, and she should not have to be forced into being affected by one mistake if it can be dealt with.

The reality of being preg-

ap

nant is scary and life changing – women should have options.

The next president needs to support equality among all citizens. Since Obama became president in 2008, the U.S. has made huge social changes, and the close-minded agenda of Santorum is going to move that progress backwards.

Voters should support candidates who are striving for gender equality, as well as freedom of sexuality, religion and control over our bodies. Voters should not support candidates who are trying to do the opposite.

Only the free market can efficiently allocate economic resources brandon muncy columnist

Free market capitalism is vastly superior to socialism in any degree. Almost universally, economies that are relatively more free are wealthier than ones that are more socialistic.

If you define socialism as the collective ownership of the factors of production in an economy, i.e., government ownership of the means of production, and follow through the implications of such a system, it becomes apparent centrally planning an economy is impossible.

While it must be noted no truly socialistic system exists, there are economies which are “socialistic” and suffer from the same pitfalls a fully socialist country economy otherwise would.

Almost everything in the

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

world is finite. Because of this fact, it is necessary to get the most out of every action a person takes. The pitfall in a socialist economy boils down to not knowing where resources are needed in an economy and how to effectively move them from one sector to another.

There are too many variables and too much unknown information to ever successfully centrally plan an economy.

Only such a process can ever be truly carried out by a free market, unhampered by regulations and free of control by a central committee.

If the process of forming a successful, efficient economy is so complicated and unknowable, how else could one form spontaneously without any guidance?

The answer is the actors in an economy, making decisions based only on their own desires, dictate how and where the resources go.

Every individual is driven

by profit. This is not necessarily profit in the monetary sense, but rather, profit in finding enjoyment or fulfillment by obtaining something or achieving a goal.

Economies are built on these profit-seeking motivations. Individual persons, whose actions are driven by their desires and their finite resources, employ those resources to the best of their ability to achieve their goals and fulfill their desires.

Both individual actors and central-planning committees make decisions based on imperfect information. The difference between the two, and the reason a system based on the former is more effective and better at generating wealth, is that only individuals can determine the value of goods and services. There is no objective price of anything.

Moreover, other individuals, in pursuit of profit and fulfilling their own desires, weigh the costs and benefits of provid-

ing specific goods and services against providing others.

The individuals who provide the goods and services most demanded are successful and can further pursue more of their own desires.

Again, how can providers possibly know which goods and services are most desirable?

The answer is through prices.

Every individual has a scale of preferences from their most highly desired good to their least highly demanded good.

Depending on how much of a good is currently in supply in an economy and how much of a good is demanded by consumers, the price of a good will be determined.

Profit-maximizing individuals will often seek to produce and sell these highly priced goods at as low of a cost as possible.

This, in turn, creates a specific demand for technological advances to increase production efficiency.

In the socialist economy, prices are distorted through regulations, bureaucracy, controls, imperfect information, etc. The government, not acting in profit-maximizing fashion, does not know where resources need to go or how to deliver them. This often results in a very precarious situation, most likely an impoverished citizenship.

Moreover, the price distortions caused by interventions in the market by a government entity causes a cycle of distortions throughout the economy.

When prices are not as they would be in a free market, the producers in an economy are unable to satisfy the demands of consumers. These problems spread from producers specifically aiming to satisfy consumer demands to the producers who seek to satisfy the demands of the aforementioned consumersatisfying producers.

And so on and so forth until every price in the economy

is distorted to an extent. While not always cataclysmic in scope, these distortions do cause inefficiencies in the market process as a whole.

In the case of interventions that cause massive price distortions, the effects take time to work their ways into the economy. The problems can often manifest themselves in such a way to appear as if the free market is the root cause.

The free market creates an economy based on the demands of the individual actors within it. An outside entity seeking to control the resources in said economy can never be successful because of the inability to objectively price goods and services or control how they flow. Government mandates do not dictate what an individual wants or what they’re willing to pay for a good or service.

Only the profit-seeking individuals – which every human is – can actively participate in an economy with positive results.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

tion differently.

BORN TODAY This year you will tend to walk to your own beat. Often you will feel left out, as others go down their own paths.

Your self-confidence grows as a result of success. Others find you to be most appealing and gentle, yet also a bit odd. If you are single, you need to be more open to someone who will appreciate you. Be careful that this person is not emotionally unavailable.

If you are attached, plan a special vacation together. AQUARIUS reads you cold.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Open up to a very different attitude and approach. This style is unique and points you toward a new path. Realize how fortunate you are to be able to process other approaches. A boss, older relative or parent really approves of what you are doing. Tonight: Go with another person’s suggestion.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Your energy carries a project across the finish line. You might wonder what to do next.

Follow your natural inclinations, and you will land just fine. Make sure that you let the special people in your life know how you feel about them. This could include the waitress who serves you every day or a friend you always have coffee with. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Take the lead when others are in a quandary.

Your efforts are appreciated, and they can make a difference in the outcome. Decide if you want to continue in this role or if you would rather let someone else take over.

Be careful when dealing with a female who might be fragile. Tonight: Could be a late dinner.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for a friend or loved one at a distance. You might have to push very hard to establish a trusting relationship. Don’t worry so much, and detach from the immediate issue. A meeting points to a new direction. Tonight: Approach a situa-

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Let others make the first move, both professionally and emotionally. Understand what motivates another person before you take a leap of faith. Someone could be clear about his or her feelings and explain that he or she simply cares. Consider taking a trip in the near future. Tonight: As you like it.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Your focus can, and will, make all the difference in a personal issue. You could be overwhelmed by another person’s efforts. He or she generally is supportive, but you did not anticipate this type of caring. Follow-through counts. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Deal directly with a child or loved one. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. Step back and consider what would be the best way to proceed. Your imagination could go a little haywire when dealing with this person. Tonight: Enjoy a special person.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Listen to what another person is trying to share with you. He or she might be trying to nudge you out of your complacent attitude. It certainly would not be a problem to

play with this person’s idea. You might even see some value in it. Curb overindulgence.

Tonight: Heading home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Communication with someone you absolutely love to hang out with tells you a lot about what you need to know. Trust your judgment, but also use your listening skills. Demonstrate your ability to think outside the box, as you sometimes get locked into your ideas. Tonight: Make time for a special friend.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You know how to build security on both emotional and financial levels. You see a difference between the two, and you know how to proceed. A family member or roommate does everything he or she can to support you in an adventure. Loosen up and have a long-overdue discussion. Tonight: Buy a treat on the way home.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You feel up to snuff and enjoy just being you. Listen to what another person is sharing. This person is expressing his or her caring in a bold manner. A sibling or neighbor thanks you for your recent effort. Tonight: Wherever you are going to be.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Allow yourself some time alone to process an issue. You could try another approach or speak to a respected confidant. If you relax, you will know exactly which way to go.

Finances could factor into your decision. Tonight: Do for you.

by Kristen Basham A&E correspondent

Fans gathered at the Morgantown Metropolitan Theatre Friday night to rock out to Pittsburgh-based jam band Rusted Root and local rootsrock favorite, Fletcher’s Grove.

Adam Payne, a promoter for Music to Your Ears production, said of the 850 tickets available, 700 were sold, nearly filling the historic theatre.

“The fans and both bands really loved playing in a setting like the theater,” Payne said. “Overall, it was a great show.”

Fletcher’s Grove opened the show with “Scary Jam,” which set an upbeat tone for the concert and got many of the audience members to their feet. The band played fan favorites such as “Dont Take My Peace” and “Alien Opera,” while also playing a selection of their newer music.

“We’ve been listening to Rusted Root since we were 7 years old. Sixteen years later, we’re sharing a stage with them. Good luck to the next generation,” said Ryan Krofcheck, lead singer of Fletcher’s Grove.

After a 40-minute break, Rusted Root took the stage,

www.thedaonline.com

opening with their signature ska percussion style before playing a mix of old and new music. Audience members enthusiastically sang along for the entire performance.

A show highlight was Rusted Root playing one of their most recognized hits, “Send Me On My Way.” The song was featured in the films “Matilda” and “Ice Age.” The lead singer of Rusted Root, Michael Glabicki, used a break in the middle of the song to introduce his fellow band members.

After a standing ovation at the end of the show, the band returned to play an encore, starting once again with just drums and slowly adding members and more instruments.

The percussion feature led into “Ecstasy,” another of the band’s hits. This high-energy song was immediately followed by a slow a cappella song performed by most of the members of the 6-person band.

For those who missed Rusted Root this time, they will be performing March 16 in Pittsburgh, Pa., at Station Square. For more information visit www.rustedroot.com daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

SECOND-HALF DEMONS

West Virginia allows 53 second-half points in 77-63 loss against DePaul

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

The West Virginia women’s basketball team walks off the court after its 77-63 loss to DePaul Saturday.

by cody schuler sports writer

Leading No. 24 DePaul 3824 at halftime, it appeared West Virginia was well on its way to extending its win streak to six consecutive games.

The Mountaineers had outscored, out-rebounded and out-hustled DePaul for almost the entire first 20 minutes of the game.

Then the second half happened.

The Blue Demons surged out of the locker room, using a 12-0 run to tie the game with 15:32 remaining in the game. By the time the half was over, DePaul had out-scored West Virginia 53-25 during the final 20 minutes of play.

By the final buzzer, the Blue Demons (20-7, 8-5) earned a 77-63 win, dropping West Vir-

ginia to 19-7 overall and 9-4 in Big East play.

DePaul head coach Doug Bruno didn’t say much at halftime, but the response his team gave to a simple question ultimately defined what the second half became.

“What’s the second half going to be? Is it going to be just a practice scrimmage so we can get better, or are we going to compete to see if we can beat

West Virginia,” Bruno said.

Junior center Asya Bussie and redshirt junior forward Ayana Dunning played an integral part in pushing the Mountaineers to such a healthy halftime lead. Fittingly so, the tandem was slowed in the second half, and it showed on the scoreboard.

The two combined for 19 points and 12 rebounds in the first half but were limited in the

second half. Bussie ended the game with 11 points and nine rebounds, while Dunning finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds.

After the game, West Virginia head coach Mike Carey was quick to credit DePaul’s play, but he also mentioned his disappointment with the effort his team displayed throughout the game.

“We just quit playing, I have

to be honest with you,” Carey said. “It’s a shame. Give DePaul credit – they came out in the second half and took it to us.”

Redshirt sophomore guard Christal Caldwell put up 10 points in the first half but was only able to score an additional six in the second half of play.

She believes the lack of intensity West Virginia came out

Despite loss, Mountaineers much WVU goes 3-1 on road trip to Florida better since start of the season in first weekend of the season BASEBALL

NICK ARTHUR

SPORTS WRITER

by alex sims sports writer

Questions surrounded the group going into its opening weekend, but the West Virginia baseball team came out strong on its road trip to Florida.

While competing in what will be their final Big Ten/Big East Challenge, the Mountaineers (3-1) earned consecutive wins over Northwestern, Penn State and Iowa before falling to Michigan in their final game Sunday.

Head coach Greg Van Zant was thrilled by the performance of his young and previously unproven squad.

“It was a tremendous weekend for us,” Van Zant said. “We found a way to win three close games, ran out of steam on that last one. You never know how wins and losses are going to turn out, so I was extremely pleased to get three out of four wins over the first weekend.”

In its Friday season opener, WVU led early and never trailed Northwestern, registering a 7-3 victory.

Northwestern out-hit West Virginia 13-10, but ground balls and double plays kept coming and keeping the Mountaineers out of trouble.

Sophomore Corey Walter started on the hill, allowing nine hits and two runs in 4.2 innings of work.

Junior Danny Dierdorff earned his first career win in relief of Walter, going 4.1, giving up only one run off four hits.

Meanwhile, the offensive firepower was supplied by sophomore first baseman Ryan McBroom’s 3-for-5, tworun, one-RBI day.

Junior shortstop John Polonius and sophomore left fielder Matt Frazer combined for four hits, four RBIs and a run.

Freshman catcher Max Nogay went 1-for-2, walked

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Sophomore right-hander Cory Walter allowed two runs in 4.2 innings pitched during the Mountaineers’ first win of the season Friday against Northwestern. once and scored twice in his first collegiate game, and his first game behind the plate.

The Weirton, W.Va., native caught all three of WVU’s wins during the weekend while replacing suspended junior catcher Matt Malloy.

“That’s the real story of the weekend,” Van Zant said.

“Max catching the first three games of his career and blocking balls like he’s done it all his life was tremendous. He’s a very intelligent kid and has looked great behind the plate.”

The defense continued to step up for the Mountaineers in game two of the weekend as West Virginia topped Penn State, 4-1, on Saturday.

No errors were made in the game, and the Nittany Lions held a slight advantage, 7-6, in hitting.

Sophomore lefty Marshall Thompson went six innings, striking out five and walking one, allowing only one run off six hits in the winning effort.

Junior Austin Pressly earned the save in three scoreless innings on the hill, allowing only three hits.

Six different batters combined for WVU’s six hits, while Frazer blasted the game’s only home run, a two-run shot,

scoring Polonius.

West Virginia recorded its third straight win Sunday against Iowa in a fight to the finish.

The Mountaineers went up early in the first, when Frazer scored on McBroom’s double into left center field.

Iowa tied the game up in the fifth, only to have WVU retake the lead in the sixth.

Then, the Hawkeyes turned up the pressure, evening the game in the top of the eighth.

But junior right fielder Chris Rasky came off the bench to double in the go-ahead run.

Junior second baseman Stuart Jeck followed, squeezing in Rasky for what would prove to be the game-winning run.

Sophomore right-hander Ryan Tezak earned the win in relief for WVU, despite allowing two runs in 2.1 innings of work.

Situational pitching again saved the Mountaineers, who were out-hit 8-7 by the Hawkeyes, while each team made one fielding error.

“You win championships with pitching and defense,” Van Zant said. “As a pitcher, you have to get out there and

Coming into the 2011-12 season, not much was expected from the West Virginia women’s basketball team. With the departure of seniors such as Liz Repella and Sarah Miles and not much experience returning, it was difficult to gauge the potential of this team.

After defeats to St. Bonaventure, Cal State-Northridge and Duquesne during the first month of the season, many, including myself, thought struggles would be on the horizon in Big East Conference play.

Then, five straight victories – three over ranked opponents – proved head coach Mike Carey, and the Mountaineers had

turned things around.

On Saturday afternoon, West Virginia looked well on its way to a fourth straight win over a ranked opponent when it led No. 24 DePaul 38-24 at the half.

The Blue Demons shot nearly 70 percent in one of wildest second halves at the Coliseum to steal a 77-63 win.

Despite the difficult loss by the Mountaineers, one thing is clear – this team is drastically better than it was early in the season.

West Virginia has won nine Big East Conference games with three remaining.

Amazingly, last year’s bunch made it all the way up to No. 6 in the national rankings but only finished with eight conference wins.

With a young team, sometimes the bad taste after a loss is something that can linger for

a few games.

It is essential for Carey and his staff to not let the team dwell on the loss to the Blue Demons.

The final three games remaining on the schedule are all winnable, and the Mountaineers could put themselves in position just behind Notre Dame and Connecticut in the standings going into the Big East Conference tournament in Hartford, Conn.

Also, with only one senior on the roster who rarely sees the floor, this is great opportunity for the program to improve one game at a time and gather momentum heading forward.

I didn’t even mention Carey has a top-15 recruiting class set to come to Morgantown in the fall.

With this being said, West Virginia is playing its best basketball

Junior Petra Zublasing shot a 585 in smallbore and a 596 in air rifle this weekend against VMI.

No. 3 WVU bounces back in dominating win over VMI by alex sims sports writer

The No. 3 West Virginia rifle team was able to find its stride again in its final home match of the season Saturday.

After a couple of underwhelming performances against No. 2 Kentucky and No. 17 NC State, the Mountaineers bounced back by eclipsing their previous season average.

WVU dominated in its NCAA qualifying match against Virginia Military Institute, topping both its men’s and women’s teams 4,678-4, 413-4, 326.

In the win, West Virginia took both smallbore and air rifle, scoring 2,318 and 2,360, respectively.

Individually, no VMI shooter was able to top a WVU shooter in either gun.

The NCAA qualifying match serves as a tiebreaker in the standings to advance to the NCAA championships in March as well as allowing shooters to qualify to compete individually.

With NCAAs not far off, head coach Jon Hammond will soon have to choose

which five shooters he will take to the big dance.

“It’s tough,” Hammond said. “They’re definitely giving me a headache, in a good way.”

The headache has lasted nearly all season for Hammond, and this weekend was no exception.

Junior Petra Zublasing made a strong return after missing the last two matches while shooting with the Italian national team, leading the match in both guns.

The Appiano, Italy, native fired a 585 in smallbore and a 596 in air rifle for a matchhigh aggregate of 1,181.

Freshman Meelis Kiisk may have shot his way into the NCAAs, while matching his personal best of 592 in air rifle, taking second in the match.

“If he is not in the team of five, then that would give him a great chance of qualifying as an individual,” Hammond said. “That would be fantastic for him to be there and for us to have another person there – that is, if he is not selected in the team of five.”

Another freshman, Taylor Ciotola, used a 581 in small-

bore and a 589 in air rifle to match his personal best aggregate score of 1,170 in the win.

Senior Justin Pentz registered the third-highest aggregate of 1,161, followed by freshmen Kiisk at 1,159 and Amy Bock at 1,158.

Meanwhile, VMI was paced in smallbore by Kevin Jones’ 558 in smallbore and Joshua Gilliland’s 563 in air rifle.

Nicole Larson and Marie Mallet led the VMI women, recording aggregate scores of 1,101 and 1,097, respectively.

Now, WVU will move on to compete in the Great American Rifle Conference Championship this weekend in Oxford, Miss.

As the NCAA championships draw near, WVU will continue to work toward peaking in the season finale.

“I think we can definitely shoot a little bit higher in smallbore,” Hammond said.

“It’s not our peak – we didn’t have all team members firing on all cylinders today. But, if we can push on a little bit in the last two matches, it will be a good finish.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Defensive downfall in second half leads to West Virginia’s loss to DePaul

Everything was going fine for the West Virginia women’s basketball team Saturday against DePaul until the second half started.

The Mountaineers (19-7, 9-4 Big East) allowed the Blue Demons (20-7, 8-5 Big East) to score 53 points in the second half after they were ahead 3824 at halftime.

“The first four-to-eight minutes of the second half, I couldn’t believe how we came out,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “(Sophomore guard) Brooke Hampton was sick, and I couldn’t play her as much. Some of our players weren’t playing hard so I went deeper in the bench, and it is frustrating and a shame. We should have never lost that game.”

DePaul showed complete

opposite results from one half to the next, shooting 31 percent from the field in the first half and 68 percent in the second.

It was the second time in as many games West Virginia has allowed a shooting percentage higher than 65 percent, as Rutgers shot 71.4 percent before falling off in the second half.

WVU had no answer for Blue Demons’ freshman guard Brittany Hrynko and forward Katherine Harry. The two combined for 30 points in the second half. Junior guard Anna Martin and sophomore forward Jasmine Penny also scored 19 and 16 points, respectively. The Blue Demons only had eight players travel with the team.

“In the second half we reach fouled, didn’t defend, didn’t box out, didn’t post hard,” Carey said. “It looked like we were really, really tired.

I don’t know, but the minutes they played ... some of them played 39, 35 minutes and (we) played 10, 15 and act like (we’re) dying. Maybe we need to get on a better condition program.”

The Mountaineers looked confused and out of sync on both sides of the ball, but especially one defense, as DePaul went on a 14-0 run in the first five minutes of the second half to tie the game back up at 38. And it didn’t stop there.

The Blue Demons got ahead 53-48 with about eight-anda-half minutes remaining, deflating West Virginia’s chance of getting back into it.

WVU wasn’t communicating through screens and left wide open looks at the basket, making it easy for DePaul to tie the game and take the lead.

DePaul made one 3-pointer in the first half, but due to the easy looks, made six more in

the second half.

“Give DePaul credit. They took it to us the second half.

They were more aggressive, they played harder, and hit some nice shots,” Carey said.

The Mountaineers’ 11 turnovers in the second half hurt them as well. DePaul scored 24 points off of the turnovers, and it seemed like almost all of them were easy, uncontested layups off of the fast break.

“We would shoot or miss, and turn it over and they would go down (the court) and get a layup,” Carey said.

“I haven’t seen us do that in a long, long time.

“They wanted the game more than we did.”

The Mountaineers look to get back on track on the road this week against St. John’s Tuesday and Cincinnati Saturday. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 7 of the locker room with was the key factor in determining the outcome of the second half.

“We came out flat, and they came out ready to play,” Caldwell said. “We got down, and we couldn’t get back into the game.

“We thought that we could come back as long as we continued to play hard, but a lot of things weren’t going our way,” she said.

Caldwell admitted that while the team thought it could turn things around, the game ended up not playing out that way.

“We gave up a lot of layups, a lot of easy buckets, and we couldn’t score on our end,” she said.

In the first half, West Virginia limited DePaul to just 31 percent shooting from the field – including just 10 percent from 3-point range.

The second half, however, was almost the exact opposite. DePaul scorched the nets, shooting 68 percent from the field and connecting on 5-of-7 3-point tries.

Luck ran out for West Virginia in its fourth game of the challenge, as Michigan used a six-run fifth inning to drop WVU 14-3.

At the end of a long weekend, the Wolverines’ bats were just too much for the Mountaineers, who were out-hit 13-5.

in the second half and would finish with a game-high 21 points.

Junior guard Anna Martin and sophomore forward Jasmine Penny chipped in with 19 and 16 points, respectively.

Perhaps the most crushing blow the DePaul offensive attack delivered in the second half came from an unlikely source.

Junior forward Katherine Harry only scored four points in the first half against the tough pressure from Bussie and Dunning, but in the second half she made 5-of-6 attempts and ended the game with 15 total points.

Carey likened her play to one particular post player on West Virginia men’s team.

“She made some tough shots, some hook shots. She looked like (junior forward Deniz Kilicli) on a couple of them,” he said.

A crowd of 6,516 was in attendance for the game – the sixth largest crowd ever for a women’s game at the Coliseum.

The 53 points DePaul scored in the second half was the most points it has scored in any half this season. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Frazer led WVU’s offensive effort, going 2-for-4, scoring once.

Michigan junior Ben Ballantine had a strong day on the hill, facing 24 batters in seven innings, allowing two runs – one earned – off only three hits.

The Napa, Calif., native nearly threw five straight perfect innings, allowing only one base runner, who was eventually the victim of a double play, from the second through the sixth inning. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
