Students represent WVU at Capitol by jessica lear staff writer

West Virginia University students presented their scientific research in Charleston, W. Va., Thursday for the ninth annual Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol.

WVU was one of many universities across the state that presented at the event, which highlighted research by undergraduate students and gave them the opportunity to speak with state legislators in hopes

of gaining support for scientific studies.

“In order for us to support undergraduate research, we need resources to do it. When you show legislators the sort of work students from West Virginia and WVU are capable of, it helps them understand that giving resources to higher education is really a very important thing to do,” said Keith Garbutt, dean of the Honors College.

Garbutt said he believes this networking is important to help encourage students to

enter the fields of science and technology.

“The legislators have lots of different resources that they have available to them, but more than anything, science and technology are the things that thrive in our economy,” he said. “If we’re going to be a leader, we need to invest in well-educated young people in science and technology who can make the next generation of leaders.”

Garbutt said conducting research is one of the best ways

WVU can help educate its students and create future leaders.

“One of the things we’re trying to do as we move you through your education is to move from being good at retaining material in the classroom to finding information for yourself. Those are skills undergraduate research teach you better than anything,” he said.

During Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol, students presented their research through posters they created

To celebrate Black History Month and commemorate the 26th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy, the McNair Scholars Program is showing a film honoring the life of Ronald McNair.

The film will focus on the life of McNair, the second African-American astronaut in space.

McNair was one of seven victims in the 1986 Challenger space shuttle explosion. It will be shown Thursday at the Brown Bag Luncheon in the Gluck Theatre 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.

McNair was a first-generation college student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received a doctorate in civics, said Betty Mei, assistant director for the McNair Scholars Program.

“He fought all odds to become a role model,” she said.

In addition to the film, the McNair Scholars Program will present a short quiz about

McNair and the Challenger.

Students with correct answers to the quiz will be entered into a drawing for McNair memorabilia, such as a bronze coin with the Challenger emblem, McNair Tshirts and more.

“It’s a fun way for students to learn about Dr. McNair and a part of history,” Mei said. “It will help us get to know this man a little bit more.”

Mei said the film will be a learning experience for student and encourages all students to attend the presentation.

“We’re here to learn. Every day we should be learning something. If you don’t know about Dr. McNair, you need to go,” she said.

“I hope students will take advantage of the learning experience they get at WVU.” The McNair Scholars Program has been on West Virginia University’s campus since 1999 and is still recruiting for 2012, Mei said. “It

When Kevin Jones made the decision to play his final season at West Virginia instead of entering the NBA draft a year early, he had an idea of how he wanted his senior season to go.

“I just feel like, if I’m going to come back, we’ve got to do it right,” Jones said. “Me and (senior guard Truck Bryant) just want to go out with a bang.”

He’s been doing his part in making this one of the most memorable seasons for a Mountaineer in a long time.

Averaging close to 21 points and more than 11 rebounds per game, Jones is the nation’s only player who averages 20 and 10 this season.

Jones has been the main reason for the success that this young West Virginia team has had through 21 games.

That’s something head coach Bob Huggins made clear following the Mountaineers’ 78-62 loss to St. John’s.

“I asked all of our guys that think they’re so good, ‘Where would we be without No. 5? What do you think our record would be without him?’ ” Huggins said. “He’s been the most valuable player in the country.

“What he’s done – and he’s playing with all those freshmen who can’t pass and don’t pass him the ball – and he still gets the numbers he gets. That’s pretty good.”

The success he’s had this season is a welcome change after struggling to shine in the spotlight during his junior season.

He was looked at to be Da’Sean Butler’s replacement the year after he led the Mountaineers to their first Final Four since 1959, a heavy burden for any player to bear.

His scoring dropped from his sophomore to junior years and his confidence wasn’t as high as it needed to be because of all the expectations.

“A lot of people were saying, ‘You need to step in and do what Da’Sean did,’ and I think he just felt a lot of pressure,” Huggins said. “This year he’s a lot more confident being the leader of a young basketball team, and I think he kind of relishes the idea that people are depending on him.”

The director of West Virginia University’s mining and industrial extension program has been selected to serve on a National Research Council committee and research technology that could help miners save themselves during a disaster.

James Dean, director of Mining and Industrial Extension in WVU’s College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, said he was honored to be selected for the committee, which began research this month.

The National Research Council is hosted by the National Academies, which are advisers to the nation on topics of science, engineering and medicine.

Previous committees have published reports on topics such as obesity prevention, teaching reform and climate change. Dean was appointed to a committee designed to determine what self-escape capabilities are most effective to mine workers during a disaster.

Dean said his experience in the field of mining and industrial services will help him in serving on the committee.

“During my term as acting director of the West Virginia Office of Miner’s Health Safety and Training in 2006, I was responsible for improvements in shelters, communication and

tracking systems,” he said.

Dean also assisted in improving the Doll Run Simulated Mine, where miners train to respond to emergencies, such as underground fires.

Gene Cilento, Glen H. Hiner dean of the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, said he believes Dean is highly qualified for the appointment.

“Jim has done an outstanding job of leading a very highprofile outreach unit for the University,” Cilento said.

“His vision and insight have led to the development of innovative facilities that directly contribute to important safety training and will lead to new cutting-edge applied research to support mining operations.”

The findings of the committee investigation may be used to prevent large-scale mining disasters like the 2010 Upper Big Branch Mine disaster, which killed 29 miners and became the country’s worst mine disaster in four decades.

The committee is staffed by professors and industry professionals from several other institutions, including The Ohio State University, The University of Queensland, the University of Georgia and the University of Massachusetts.

Dean attended the first meeting of the committee Jan. 12 in Washington, Pa. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

SOAR takes sophomores on outdoor excursions by cassia king correspondent

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health and Adventure WV are working together to provide a unique outdoor adventure for students to overcome the “sophomore slump.”

Sophomore Outdoor Adventure Reorientation program, or SOAR, is a three-credit summer course specifically designed for West Virginia University students finishing their freshman year and looking for new opportunities.

The course involves a 15-day wilderness excursion through Utah and Colorado, and takes students hiking, canoeing and meeting with other young leaders.

A SOAR participant canoes.

Jones

Continued from page 1 Jones admitted the fact that because there are so many freshmen on this WVU team, his confidence has been higher. He knows he has to stay confident in what he can do for it to rub off on them.

“We have a lot of young guys, so once they see their leader’s confidence is low, usually their confidence will be a little bit lower,” he said. “You always have to keep (your confidence) high.”

He’s scored 20 points six games in a row and has already had more double-doubles this season than he did in his entire career before his senior year.

So, what’s different for Jones this year?

It’s simpler than you might think.

“My shots are going in this year,” he said.

“That didn’t happen at the beginning of last year, and I just kind of got down on myself, second-guessed most of my shots, and that’s why they were going off.

“This year I just have full confidence.

This is my last year, so I just want to end it well.”

And, his progress hasn’t gone unnoticed by opposing coaches.

Multiple times this year, Jones has re-

ceived high praise from WVU opponents.

“Kevin hits tough shots. That’s why he’s the Player of the Year in the Big East,” said Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin after Jones finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds in an overtime win over the Bearcats.

“You have to give the kid credit.

When a guy is a great player, you have to give him credit. I’ve got nothing but respect for him.”

Even with all of the individual praise he’s received this year, Jones is still focused on the ultimate goal he set for himself when he decided to return.

He wants to get WVU back to the Big East championship and the Final Four.

And, after the loss to St. John’s, there’s still a lot of work left to be done.

“It’s all about team goals, and it’s (always) been about team goals,” he said. “Not once have I really thought about (individual rewards).

Pres. Obama, Gov. Brewer friction on display on tarmac tiff GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she meant no disrespect when she pointed a finger at President Barack Obama during an intense discussion on an airport tarmac. But the Republican governor says the Democratic president showed disrespect for her by abruptly ending their conversation.

Obama, in an interview Thursday with ABC News, said it’s “a classic example of things getting blown out of proportion.”

The brief encounter — out of earshot of observers but captured on camera — was a highly visible demonstration of the verbal and legal skirmishing that has regularly occurred between Brewer and Obama’s administration over illegal immigration and other issues.

Airport arrivals for presidents normally involve mere pleasantries between those involved, but Brewer and Obama have a his-

Brewer said that during their talk, she invited Obama to visit Arizona to hear about her administration’s achievements and to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, which has been a point of friction between the two because of illegal immigration issue.

Obama then said Brewer’s recently published book mischaracterized a 2011 White House meeting between them.

Brewer said in an interview Thursday, at another Phoenixarea airport, that she talks a lot with her hands and that her pointing a finger at Obama during their conversation wasn’t disrespectful.

“I respect the office of the president,” she said. “I was there to welcome him.”

She said she was grateful for of McNair, and funds are awarded to disadvantaged individuals who have demonstrated a high level of academic potential.

the visit and intended to talk to him about the state’s accomplishments. But she said she was “taken aback by his comments” when he said he wasn’t happy with how her book described their White House meeting.

Immediately after the meeting, Brewer had said it was cordial, but her book said Obama lectured Brewer in the Oval Office and that she felt he was condescending toward her.

“It is what it is. I proceeded to say that to him, and he chose to walk away from me,” she said Thursday.

Asked whether she regarded that as disrespectful, she replied: “Well, I would never have walked away from anybody having a conversation. And, of course, that is what it is. It is disrespectful for me.”

Their relationship covers disagreements on “most of his policies,” she said. “That doesn’t mean we can’t be cordial to one

another.”

The encounter was notable because it was rare case of an unscripted and tense moment between the president and a public official in view of reporters.

“I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” Obama said in the ABC interview. “But this was really not a big deal. She wanted to give me a letter, asking for a meeting. And I said, ‘We’d be happy to meet.’”

White House press secretary Jay Carney chided reporters Thursday, saying the encounter with Brewer was getting too much attention from the press corps. The media coverage was overshadowing Obama’s message of the day on energy.

Carney was questioned about Brewer’s statement that Obama cut her short by walking away.

Romney is the aggressor in final Florida debate JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — An aggressive Mitt Romney repeatedly challenged Republican rival Newt Gingrich in a fast-paced campaign debate Thursday night just before a Florida primary that could be pivotal in the GOP presidential race. He rebuffed criticism of his own stance on immigration and ridiculed the former House speaker’s call to build costly projects in key primary states and to colonize the moon.

Days before the primary election in Florida, a state with a large number of immigrants, Romney vehemently denied Gingrich’s accusation that he is more anti-immigrant than any other candidate. And, as charges flew back and forth, Gingrich in return rebutted any suggestion that he wasn’t the man to rein in federal spending.

cheap everywhere. You can actually have priorities to get things done,” Gingrich declared, saying that as speaker of the House he had helped balance the budget while doubling spending on the National Institutes of health.

The debate was the 19th since the race for the Republican nomination began last year, and the second in four days in the runup to next Tuesday’s Florida primary. Opinion polls make the race a close one — slight advantage Romney — with two other contenders, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Texas Rep. Ron Paul far behind.

Gingrich’s upset victory in the South Carolina primary last week upended the race for the nomination to oppose Democratic President Barack Obama in the fall, and Romney in particular can ill-afford a defeat on Tuesday.

While the clashes between Gingrich and Romney dominated the debate, Santorum drew applause from the audience when he called on the two front-runners to stop attacking one another and “focus on the issues.”

“Can we set aside that Newt was a member of Congress ... and that Mitt Romney is a wealthy guy?” he said in a tone of exasperation.

There were some moments of levity, including when Paul, 76, was asked whether he would be willing to release his medical records. He said he was, then challenged the other three men on the debate stage to a 25-mile bike race.

He got no takers.

In the days since Romney’s loss in South Carolina, he has tried to seize the initiative, playing the aggressor in the Tampa

debate and assailing Gingrich in campaign speeches and a TV commercial.

An outside group formed to support Romney has spent more than his own campaign’s millions on ads, some of them designed to stop Gingrich’s campaign momentum before it is too late to deny him the nomination.

With polls suggesting his South Carolina surge is stalling, Gingrich unleashed a particularly strong attack earlier in the day, much as he lashed out in Iowa when he rose in the polls, only to be knocked back by an onslaught of ads he was unable to counter effectively.

Thursday night’s first clash occurred moments after the debate opened, when Gingrich responded to a question by saying Romney was the most anti-immigrant of all four contenders on stage.

Egypt bans travel for US official’s son, 9 others CAIRO (AP) — Egypt banned at least 10 Americans and Europeans from leaving the country, including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood, hiking tensions with Washington over a campaign

by Egypt’s military against groups promoting democracy and human rights.

The United States warned Thursday that the campaign raised concerns about Egypt’s transition to democracy and could jeopardize American aid that Egypt’s battered economy needs badly after a year of unrest.

The travel ban was part of an Egyptian criminal investigation into foreign-funded democracy organizations after soldiers raided the offices of 10 such groups last month, including those of two American groups.

The investigation is closely intertwined with Egypt’s political turmoil since the fall of Hosni Mubarak nearly a year ago. The generals who took power have accused “foreign hands” of being behind protests against their rule and they frequently depict the protesters themselves as receiving foreign funds in a plot to destabilize the country.

Egyptian opponents of the military say the generals are trying to smear the protesters in the eyes of the public and silence organizations they fear will undermine their managing of the country.

Also startling is the military’s willingness to clash with its longtime top ally, the United States, over the issue, particularly since the army itself receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington.

The December raids brought sharp U.S. criticism, and last week President Barack Obama spoke by telephone with Egyptian military chief Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi to emphasize “the role that these organizations can play in civil society,” according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on Thursday.

The ban became public after Sam LaHood, Egypt director of the Washington-based International Republican Institute, went to Cairo’s airport Saturday to catch a flight and was told by an immigration official that he couldn’t leave.

“I asked her why I was denied, she said she didn’t know.

I asked how to fix it, and she said she didn’t know,” said LaHood, 36. An hour later, a man

in civilian clothes gave him back his passport and escorted him to the curb, LaHood said.

“It’s a dark signal for groups who are interested in doing this kind of work,” he said.

LaHood’s father, a former congressman from Illinois, is the only Republican in Obama’s Cabinet. The elder LaHood declined to comment.

The IRI was among the groups raided last month, along with the National Democratic Institute and a number of Egyptian organizations.

Both American groups, linked to the political parties of the same name, monitored Egypt’s recent parliamentary elections. In the raids, troops ransacked 17 offices of the 10 organizations around the country, carting away computers and documents.

The Egyptian government said the raids were part of a legitimate investigation into whether the groups were operating legally.

Sen. John McCain blasted Egypt’s handling of the issue Thursday, warning that continued restrictions on civil society groups “could set back the long-standing partnership between the United States and Egypt.”

IRI and NDI officials said they have been trying since 2005 to register as required by law, but were left in legal limbo, never officially denied nor granted permission.

Both groups continued to operate while keeping authorities abreast of their activities, they said. Many Egyptian nongovernmental organizations say officials often keep their groups in such limbo to maintain a threat over their heads.

Sam LaHood said he was told by his lawyer that he is under investigation on suspicion of managing an unregistered NGO and receiving “funds” from an unregistered NGO, namely, his salary.

Two other Americans and a European with IRI have also been banned from travel, Lahood said his lawyer had been told. From the National Democratic Institute, three Americans and three Serb employees are also on the list, according to its Egypt director Lisa Hughes.

Hughes, who is among those barred, said she has been interrogated for more than four hours about her group’s work and that she had planned to fly to the U.S. next month before she heard about the ban.

Stricken ship passengers ponder compensation BERLIN (AP) — Herbert Greszuk was at the bar on the fifth deck of the Costa Concordia when the ill-fated luxury liner hit a reef.

Unable to get back to his second-deck cabin after the emergency signal came, he made it to a lifeboat with only the clothes on his back – leaving behind everything he had with him for the cruise, including his tuxedo, camera, jewelry, euro400 ($520) in cash, credit cards, identity papers and even his dentures.

The 62-year-old, who runs a small flower shop and cafe in the western German town of Recklinghausen, counts himself lucky to have escaped the ship after it capsized Jan. 13, but estimates that he lost at least euro10,000 in goods alone.

He’s only one of the 4,200 passengers and crew who were on board and will likely want compensation, and material loss just scratches the surface.

There’s the ruined holiday, physical and mental trauma, and payments to families of the dead, among other things, in an incident many believe was preventable.

“It’s about accountability, “ Greszuk told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his cafe. “Something like this must not be allowed to happen again. So many people died; it’s simply inexcusable.”

In Rome on Thursday, representatives of ship operator Costa Crociere SpA met with consumer activists to discuss a blanket compensation deal for some 3,206 people from 61 countries who suffered no physical harm when the ship hit the reef.

The offer would consider the price of the ticket, costs incurred in getting home after the disaster, the cost of items lost aboard the ship as well as damages for the ruined vacation and trauma resulting from the accident, said Furio Truzzi of the consumer group Assoutenti.

The offer would not apply to the hundreds of crew on the ship, the roughly 100 cases of people injured or the families who lost loved ones. Sixteen bodies have been recovered so far, while another 16 people are still missing and feared dead.

“We are working for a collective transaction to come up with a value for damages,” Truzzi said. “Each passenger can decide if this proposal is satisfactory. If it is not, they are free to react through a lawyer.”

Truzzi said it was premature to discuss exact amounts of compensation. He said it would be an average and that any passenger who deemed his or her losses greater than the offer was free to counter the proposal.

He said Assoutenti would work separately on a proposal

The Costa Concordia cruise ship grounded off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, is seen at night. A large platform carrying a crane and other equipment hitched itself to the toppled Costa Concordia on Tuesday, signaling the start of preliminary operations to remove a half-million gallons of fuel from the grounded cruise ship before it leaks into the pristine Tuscan sea. for those who lost loved ones in the disaster and was open to working with crew members.

The ship ran aground off the Tuscan island of Giglio after the captain, Francesco Schettino, veered from his approved course. Costa Crociere’s chief executive, Pier Luigi Foschi, has said Schettino didn’t have approval to change the course and was going too fast – 16 knots – to be so close to shore.

Schettino is under house arrest, facing accusations of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning a ship before all passengers were evacuated.

Although it is still early and talk of compensation is ongoing, lawsuits are expected to be filed in Germany, Italy, the United States and elsewhere.

Attorney Hans Reinhardt, who represents Greszuk and a dozen other German survivors, said passengers did sign liability wavers – a common requirement for cruises – but that he considers them void under the circumstances.

“You do not sign off on a disaster situation, what you sign there is for normal daily situations like if there is a little storm or high water or something like that,” he said. “This was such a large failure by the captain and

by Costa that you can sign whatever you want but you will still get your money.”

Depending upon their individual situations, he said he is seeking between euro10,000 and euro50,000 for his cli-

ents and would wait for three months to see if Costa would settle before taking the matter to court.

Though the cruise company is Italian, Costa’s parent company is Miami-based Carnival Corp. and Reinhardt said he was trying to determine which could be held responsible for the incident. If it’s Carnival, he said he would pursue his case in the U.S., where damages awarded tend to be higher than in Germany.

The company also faces the question of compensation for crew members who have lost their jobs because of the accident, not to mention the costs of salvaging the ship and of a possible environmental disaster if the unused fuel cannot be safely removed.

Salvage experts worked Thursday so they could begin pumping tons of fuel off the ship starting Saturday to avert an environmental catastrophe.

The stricken ship lies in pristine

waters that are prime fishing grounds and part of a protected area for dolphins and whales.

German reinsurers Hannover Re AG and Munich Re AG, two of the world’s largest, both said this week that liability claims from the fatal capsizing could run in the triple-digit millions of euros. Swiss Re, the other reinsurance powerhouse, said Thursday it was still too early to even guess what it might cost.

Reinsurers offer backup policies to companies writing primary insurance policies, which helps spread the risk around so the system can handle large losses from disasters.

Carnival has said it has liability insurance, though with a $10 million deductible. Of the socalled “hull insurance,” which covers damage to the ship, Carnival is responsible for the first $30 million in damage, while the rest is covered by a network of insurers led by XL Group.

not to be concerned,” she said.

“We were concerned the moment armed men showed up at our office door, and this has done nothing to calm those concerns.”

The State Department’s top human rights official, Michael Posner, told reporters in Cairo Thursday that such moves could jeopardize U.S. aid to Egypt, one of the biggest recipients.

“All need to have the ability to operate openly, freely, without constraint, not based on the content of their work,” he said.

Posner pointed to recent U.S. legislation that blocks annual aid to Egypt unless it takes certain steps. These include abiding by its 1979 peace treaty with Israel, holding free and fair elections and “implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association and religion and due process of law.

“Obviously, any action that creates tension between our governments makes the whole package more difficult,” Posner said.

The U.S. is due to give $1.3 billion in military assistance and $250 million in economic aid to Egypt in 2012. Washington has given Egypt an average

of $2 billion in economic and military aid a year since 1979, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Egypt’s military has been locked in a confrontation for months with protesters who demand it immediately hand over power to civilians.

Hundreds of protesters camped Thursday in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square, a day after several hundred thousand people massed there to mark the one-year anniversary of the 18-day anti-Mubarak uprising.

Thursday evening, hundreds moved from Tahrir and rallied in front of the state TV building, beating drums as they chanted for the “liberation” of state-run media from the military’s control. They projected video footage of soldiers beating protesters onto the building.

State TV has been a mouthpiece of the military, broadcasting its accusations against protesters. Activists demand it be restructured as an independent media institution.

“The media is still manipulated and projects the same lies,” said protester Mahmoud Ragab. “We will be here everyday to let them know it is a revolution.”

Official: Iraq will take legal action over United States’ raid BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq will take legal action to ensure justice for the families of 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians killed in a U.S. raid in Haditha seven years ago, a government spokesman said Thursday, after the lone U.S. Marine convicted in the killings reached a deal to escape jail time.

Residents in Haditha, a former Sunni insurgent stronghold of about 85,000 people along the Euphrates River valley some 140 miles (220 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, have expressed outrage at the American military justice system for allowing Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich to avoid prison.

“The Haditha incident was a big crime against innocent civilians,” said Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for the Iraqi government. “We will follow up all legal procedures and judiciary measures” to seek justice in the case, he added.

Al-Moussawi did not offer specifics and the Iraqi Justice Ministry declined to comment.

Marine Corps officials said they do not comment on such announcements made by foreign governments.

Neal Puckett, Wuterich’s attorney said: “We have no comment about the stated intentions of the Iraqi government.

Our client’s military justice case has concluded. So far as we are concerned, the matter is closed.”

Wuterich was convicted of a single count of negligent dereliction of duty. He faces having his rank reduced but he will not go to jail as a part of a plea agreement that ended his long-awaited manslaughter trial.

He has apologized for the loss of life, but has said his squad did not behave badly or dishonorably.

He also has defended his order to raid homes in Haditha as a necessary act and acknowledged to instructing his men to “shoot first, ask questions later” after a roadside bomb killed a fellow Marine.

Wuterich’s sentence Tuesday ended a six-year prosecution that failed to win any manslaughter convictions in one of the worst attacks on Iraqi civilians by U.S. troops during nine years of war. Eight Marines were initially charged in the case. One was acquitted and six others had their cases dropped.

Take advantage of resources at WVU The college experience is like none other in life.

This is the best time to explore multiple career options, meet new people and enjoy life.

Every student at West Virginia University should take advantage of the resources given by University.

Many students are here to simply obtain a degree as fast as possible so they can be done with school and get out in the real world.

Those students should take a minute to evaluate the fantastic opportunities they are missing.

For one, there are several study abroad programs offered through the University that allow students to travel and see the world. Study abroad programs can give students the chance to earn credits on almost every continent.

There may not be another time in life when you can have the option to travel and learn

in such a way. Financial aid is available for all study abroad programs offered at WVU. Incoming sophomores can take advantage of the SOAR program, which is an outdoor reorientation program by WELLWVU: The Student’s Center of Health and Adventure WV. Through the SOAR program, students can earn three credit hours during the 15-day wilderness outing to Utah and Colorado. Activities will include hik-

ing, canoeing and becoming more adapted to nature.

The program is also aimed at helping students find their life goals and ways to achieve them.

If traveling is not what you’re looking for, there are countless other programs and activities students can become involved with – all designed to benefit students and create unforgettable memories.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what you become involved in,

the point is that you do get involved with the University.

Being involved with other aspects on campus, you are increase the chances to meet new people (who could become great contacts within your career field), realize a better suited career path or to just have fun.

There are many ways to enjoy the full college experience – make sure you do.

Obama prescribes wrong medicine for America’s ills garrett hunter columnist

Tuesday night, President Obama presented to Congress his third State of the Union address. Nominally, the speech is a constitutional responsibility of the president, who must “from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

It seems sensible enough, but over the years the event has devolved into a near-sickening display of political pandering and empty rhetoric.

Tuesday’s affair was no exception.

In a speech that felt better suited for a campaign rally than for the congressional floor, the president laid out his “blueprint for an economy that’s built to last.”

In doing so, he made it clear that we Americans cannot be trusted to manage our own affairs without his guidance.

From green energy to corporate hiring, from education to health care, the president envisions a role for the government in nearly every aspect of the American economy. A few key proposals are worth mentioning.

One major tenet of the president’s speech was supporting renewable energy. Speaking loudly over widespread applause, he at one point proclaimed, “It’s time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry (oil) that rarely has been more profitable, and doubledown on a clean energy industry that never has been more promising. Pass clean energy tax credits.”

In other words, it’s time to shower taxpayer giveaways on expensive, inefficient, unreliable energy sources the president happens to support.

True, oil subsidies make no economic sense, and Congress should scrap them. But by proposing similar subsidies for his preferred industry, the president has shown he’s motivated by political calculation rather than economic sensibility. If

President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday. investors are unwilling to put their own money into green technology, why would it make sense for the government to do it for them?

Education was another key part of the president’s address.

Amid the standard rhetoric praising teachers and lamenting the high cost of college, President Obama called on every state to require all students to stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18.

Ignoring the fact that neither he nor Congress has any constitutional authority to act on it, this proposal would do more harm than good for both students and teachers.

Underperforming students cannot be legislated into educational success. States may as

well pass laws requiring kids to study five hours every evening, or to get eight hours of sleep each night.

By simply forcing potential dropouts to stay in school longer, the states ensure that the most disinterested students continue to draw on scarce educational resources, including funding, class space and teachers’ time.

These students require far more tailored service, and often a whole different style of education, than traditional government-run high schools provide.

Finally, President Obama turned his attention to personal income tax.

Arguing that wealthy Americans ought to pay their “fair share” in taxes (in reality he

means higher taxes), the president pointed out that billionaire investor Warren Buffet pays a lower income tax rate than his secretary.

This claim has become one of the left wing’s favorite talking points in recent months, but it’s highly misleading. Even if the claim is true, it’s an unusual case.

In 2009, for instance, Americans with an income more than $500,000 paid an average income tax rate of about 25 percent. By contrast, those making between $30,000 and $100,000 that year paid an average rate of 7.25 percent. Individuals with lower incomes paid lower rates still.

Furthermore, although the richest 1 percent of Americans

owned around 17 percent of the country’s wealth in 2007, they paid 39.5 percent of individual income taxes according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Though it may pain President Obama to admit it, the rich are already paying far more than their “fair share” in taxes.

Still, if he’s truly interested in equalizing Buffet’s tax rate with his secretary’s, he might want to consider lowering the latter rate instead of raising the former.

To conclude his address, the president claimed that America is great because “we get each others’ backs,” and he’s partly right.

One of this country’s finest characteristics is the strong sense of community Americans develop in exercising their right

to associate freely with others – a right that government interference effectively destroys.

What truly makes America great, though, is the personal freedom due to us by virtue of our humanity and guaranteed us by our Constitution.

This freedom – not bailouts, subsidy programs or redistributive tax schemes – has been the fundamental source of American exceptionalism since this country’s founding.

Only by embracing this fact, and by unshackling the innovative forces of the American economy, can we hope to hold onto that greatness.

If the president’s speech is any indication, we will continue sprinting in the opposite direction for the foreseeable future.

The real Romney tax return scandal – It’s all legal matthew westfall the daily reveille Louisiana state university

In this tough economic environment, former Massachusetts Governor and GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has shown an inability to relate to voters on their financial struggles and fears.

Experts have analyzed Romney’s communication strategies and rhetoric, questioning his struggles in identifying with voters and their financial concerns.

The real answer is obvious – Romney has no financial struggles or fears.

After enduring weeks of criticism from GOP challengers and the media alike, Romney finally released his tax returns Tuesday – all two years’

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

worth, providing only a partial snapshot to his vast personal wealth.

Romney chose not to follow the example of his father, who, as a presidential candidate in 1968, released 12 years of returns.

The release of Romney’s tax returns revealed no surprises.

Romney’s personal finances only reinforce him as a poster child of what’s wrong with the American tax system.

The disclosure shows Romney had an adjusted gross income of $21.6 million in 2010 and an estimated $20.9 million in 2011, largely all of it profits, dividends or interest from investments.

No income was reported from earned wages, as Romney collected millions in capital gains from a myriad of investments, as well as stock dividends and interest payments.

In 2010, Romney and his wife, Ann, paid about $3 million in federal taxes to the IRS on their adjusted gross income, for an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent.

And for 2011, Romney estimates he will pay about $3.2 million, for an effective rate of 15.4 percent – significantly lower than rates paid by President Obama and Romney’s biggest GOP challenger, Newt Gingrich.

How can this be possible?

Very simple.

Romney has taken advantage of tax loopholes that are a direct reflection of the archaic American tax system.

The most glaring loophole in current law that Romney has taken advantage of is the treatment of “carried interest.”

Romney and his wife earned $7.4 million in socalled carried interest in 2010 and $5.5 million in 2011, re-

flecting his share of profits from the private equity firm Bain Capital, which he cofounded in 1984 and retired from in 1999.

That money is currently taxed at the rate normally reserved for long-term capital gains – the 15 percent top capital gains rate rather than the 35 percent top rate for ordinary income earned by people providing personal services.

Managers of private equity funds, such as Bain Capital, don’t receive a salary but take a percentage of the fund’s profits, which is taxed as capital gains at 15 percent, even though it’s a personal service.

In an interview with ABC, Rebecca Wilkins, senior counsel for federal tax policy at Citizens for Tax Justice, noted “most of the income is capital gains, which comes through Bain, all of which is probably

carried interest.”

The unethical matter is that the carried interest should be taxed at the rates which normally apply to earned income, which tops out at 35 percent. If Romney’s carried interest income in the last two years had been taxed at that higher rate, he would have owed about $4.8 million in federal taxes, almost $2.6 million more than under the current tax code.

Romney’s investments in foreign entities, some located in Luxembourg, Ireland and the Cayman Islands, are all famous tax havens. Bain Capital, as well as Romney’s individual retirement account, have significant holdings in funds based in the Caymans and other low-tax countries to take advantage of these loopholes.

These offshore accounts have provided Romney and

Bain Capital with various potential financial benefits, such as higher management fees and greater foreign interest, all at the expense of the U.S. Treasury.

Many of the steps that Romney has taken in his returns are measures that are effectively available only to the wealthy, which brings to light just how crooked the American tax code is.

The progressive ideals that the tax code was designed under – the more you earn, the more you are supposed to pay – have carried no weight with millionaires such as Romney.

And while Romney slithers his way to personal tax breaks, the middle class foots the bill.

If Romney were elected president, the media would have far more to talk about than an election outcome – most notably, the death of the middle class.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY You’ll become unusually gregarious and spontaneous this year. People from your past might not always be comfortable with this side of you. If you are attached, remain sensitive to your significant other as he or she adjusts to the “new you.” If you are single, you’ll certainly have your choice of suitors. Take your time getting to know them. You could make a purchase of a new car or computer out of the blue, surprising not only others but you as well.

Others find you to be unpredictable. ARIES brings out the wildness in you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might not be at your best when you wake up, but you will be before you know it. Understand what someone expects. Nevertheless, your actions could stun others, and maybe even you, too.

Excitement surrounds you. Tonight: Make hay while you can.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Your mind zeros in on a personal or professional matter. The good news is that your thinking is on target. Assume a less dominant role for now in different facets of your life, and allow others to come forward. Tonight: Take a time-out.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH As focused as you might be on work, by the afternoon, your mind drifts elsewhere. How you handle a situation could change radically. Lighten up in a meeting. Much information comes forward, some of which might not be all fact. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Your mind drifts to many possibilities, perhaps not coinciding with the matter at hand. By the afternoon, events or selfdiscipline encourages greater concentration. You could be jolted by someone’s reaction. Tonight: Out late.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Reach out for other people, especially those who are experts or who know more in areas you are exploring. The type of information you will receive might be slightly avant-garde. A new beginning becomes possible if you can work with another person’s thought process. Tonight: Opt for something different.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Deal with others directly. You might wonder what is going on behind the scenes.

Clearly, someone shows unusual caring and wants to be closer to you. This situation could exist in your professional and/or personal life. Remain sensitive to this person. Tonight: Go with a surprise.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You might want to defer to another person. Truth be told, you aren’t seeing the situation fully. Ask for more feedback from others. Knowing that others might pick up on something you don’t allows greater give and take. The unexpected runs riot. Tonight: Go with the most fun invitation.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You will clear out more in less time. What you see as a new possibility could surprise you. Do a better job of listening to an associate or friend. If you do, you will see another path. Greet new technol-

ogy with a smile. Tonight: Make it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You could be flabbergasted by another person’s behavior. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with this person. If you pull back some, you’ll gain a new perspective. Just lie back and become more connected with this person’s energy. He or she is a natural mental stimulus. Tonight: Be imaginative.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might wish that you had stayed closer to home by the afternoon. If you can arrange to make it an early day, do.

In that situation, you become more open and able to move on a key idea. Don’t be surprised by a roommate or situation that pops up. Tonight: Order in.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Finish up a project before getting on the phone and returning calls. News might be so stunning that you could be speechless. Give yourself time, and you will adjust. A lighter and more upbeat frame of mind helps you understand what needs to be done. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Get as much done as you can in the first part of the day. You might not understand everything that you are seeing, and you might not need to. A risk that won’t cause too much damage if it goes south might be worth it. Tonight: Your treat.

Nation’s top two shooters to square off in Texas by alex sims sports writer

The nation’s top two shooters will meet in Fort Worth, Texas, this weekend.

The No. 3 West Virginia rifle team will head west to take on No. 1 Texas Christian Saturday.

The match will feature junior sharpshooters Petra Zublasing of WVU (9-0) and Sarah Scherer of TCU (7-0).

Together, the dynamic duo has shot the two highest scores in both guns in collegiate rifle this season.

“I really want to shoot a good score,” Zublasing said.

“Sarah is the only one right now in the United States who is able to beat me overall.

“She’s a really nice girl, but she’s good, so I need to do well. So, I’m really excited, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Both have shot a perfect 600

to tie for the top air rifle score in the NCAA, while Zublasing has edged her friend and rival in smallbore this season.

Scherer, the 2010 individual smallbore national champion, recorded a 591 at No. 9 Jacksonville State, which has only been topped by Zublasing’s 593 shot against No. 10 Murray State.

The personal rivalry between two prolific shooters should make this one of the best matches in collegiate rifle this season.

“We’re like each other; we’re great friends,” Zublasing said. “But nobody wants to be second.”

Thanks to their consistent scoring, the two squads meeting in Fort Worth have also been staples in the top three of the College Rifle Coaches Association rankings.

The Horned Frogs are currently at the summit of the

CRCA rankings with an aggregate season average of 4,700.

With defending national champion Kentucky at No. 2, West Virginia rounds out a loaded top three, averaging an aggregate score of 4,680 per match.

Only seniors Justin Pentz and Mike Kulbacki have ever shot at TCU, in the 2009 NCAA championships, so the rest of the Mountaineers will have to deal with the challenge of shooting on an unfamiliar range.

“It’s always a challenge to go on the road to any range,” said West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond. “Going on the road to shoot against the team that’s No. 1 right now with the best average is certainly going to be as challenging as anything.”

TCU has posted enormous scores all season long, winning all four of its dual

tennis

matches and finishing in first in two triangular matches and one eight-team match.

Scherer has paced the Horned Frogs with an average aggregate of 1,185, followed by juniors Sarah Beard and Caitlin Morrissey with averages of 1,173 and 1,168 respectively.

This top-ranked Horned Frogs squad will be the Mountaineers’ toughest test to date and should allow them to see just how they measure up with the nation’s best.

“Yes, you want to win as many matches as you can, but in all reality we want to win the last match of the year,” Hammond said.

“I’ve definitely learned in the last few years that you want to win that last match of the year, and everything else is just building towards that.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU takes on Morehead St. Mountaineers tuning up before Big East championships by robert kreis sports writer

Senior Veronica Cardenas and the WVU tennis team will face Morehead State Saturday.

by robert kreis sports writer

West Virginia tennis head coach Tina Samara is hoping to use Saturday’s match against Morehead State as a confidence booster before taking on Virginia Tuesday.

“Every year, everyone’s schedule has matches that are going to be big-time challenges, and you have ones that your levels are pretty equal and ones you feel like you should win,” Samara said. “This is one we feel like we should win.”

Although Samara hopes her team will pull off the victory this weekend, she is wary about being overconfident.

“You have to be careful not to go in thinking it is going to be easy,” she said. “We beat them last year, so we’re fairly confident, but you have to be careful where you draw the line.”

Overall, the Morehead State Eagles are 0-2, losing to Louisville and Kentucky by a combined score of 14-0. Before making a trip to Morgantown, the Eagles will welcome IUPUI to their home court on Friday. Samara hopes a win against More-

head State will allow the girls to taste victory and will give them momentum as they continue their spring season.

“Hopefully they go out, and start strong and compete hard – and maybe that will help a little bit with some of their issues with confidence” Samara said.

“You always like to try to get a win just for your confidence, so if we can walk away with one (against Morehead State), hopefully that will help them with the next (matches).”

The Mountaineers will be participating in their first home match of the year. Although Samara is happy to play on the home court, she knows there can be more distractions at home.

“When you’re home (the team goes) to class and is not missing school, which is a good thing, but there are a lot more distractions at home than when you are on the road,” Samara said. “Generally it is nice to play at home, I think most sports would say that is what they want to do when they have the choice.”

One aspect of the game Samara has been trying to preach

wvu sports info

to her team is how they have handled themselves on the court. Although their court demeanor is not where Samara wants it to be, it certainly has gotten better. “(The team’s demeanor) is better, I guess you have to compare it to what we started with,” Samara said. “It is not anywhere near where we want it to be ultimately, but there have been improvements for sure.”

Samara hopes to see better body language on the court, as well as a confidence boosting team victory this weekend, as they prepare for the remainder of the season, particularly their next match. Samara will lead the Mountaineers to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tuesday.

“I think anyone would admit, including Morehead, that they are pretty drastically different programs, but getting wins under your belt always helps everybody’s confidence,” Samara said. “If we can go ahead and get (a win) Saturday, then I think they are going to go into (Virginia) a little more confident. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia swimming and diving head coach Vic Riggs hopes to see his women’s team make some lastminute tune-ups as they travel to Ohio this weekend to compete in their last meet before the Big East Conference championships.

“It is our last meet before Big East, so (I want to see the team) improve on some of the things that we have talked to the individuals about that we think will help them swim faster,” Riggs said. “At the end of the meet when they’re tired, it will be a good simulation of how they are feeling at Big East.”

One reason the women’s team may be more tired than usual at the end of the Ohio meet is the fact that the men’s team will not be joining them on their trip. “(Women’s-only) meets go a lot faster,” Riggs said. “There is not going to be a whole lot of cheering going (compared to when the men are there), and it’s a little harder for the environment to get going because there is not as much

verbal support.”

Although it is not what the women’s team is used to, Riggs does not expect the speed of a women’s-only meet to affect the Mountaineers.

“The bottom line is the fact that you need to be prepared and pay attention to the events that are in front of you, and make sure you are getting yourself ready to race,” he said.

One event Riggs is confident about is the 800 free relay. There are currently five Mountaineers competing for four spots on the relay team, and Riggs believes the competition between juniors Rachael Burnett, Mandie Nugent and Kata Fodor, and sophomores Danielle Smith and Rachel Gorrie will allow the 800 free relay team to do some special things when the Big East championships come around.

“Having competition for a spot is always a good thing,” Riggs said. “Ultimately, we are going to put the best relay on the blocks, with the best athletes, so that competition drives them to see if they can earn a spot.”

At this point in the season, Riggs is happy to see his entire team pushing themselves and working hard. Throughout the entire process, one of the hardest working Mountaineers has been Smith.

Smith is still young and has made tremendous leaps between her freshman and sophomore campaigns. Riggs praised her ability to adjust, as well as her belief in herself.

“She is very good at making self-assessments and making adjustments,” Riggs said. “There is a real strong quiet confidence about what she is doing.

“I told her she should be very excited about what she could get done (at Big East championships).”

Whether it is Smith or any of the other members of the women’s swim team, Riggs looks forward to giving his team one more chance before Big East championships.

“Having one more opportunity to travel – having pretty good expectations on what we are trying to get done – is certainly an advantage,” he said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Fielder officially introduced with Tigers DETROIT (AP) — Prince Fielder stood with a smile and recalled his earliest memories of old Tiger Stadium, when he would hang out at the ballpark where his father hit so many massive home runs.

“For me, it was always Sparky saying I was going to pinch hit — and I really believed him,” Fielder said, referring to former manager Sparky Anderson. “I’m just glad I get to come back.”

The Tigers introduced Fielder

on Thursday after finalizing a $214 million, nine-year contract with the free agent first baseman, who is expected to hit a lot more home runs than his dad.

Fielder was born in 1984, the last time Detroit won the World Series. After luring him back to Michigan with the fourth-largest deal in baseball history, the Tigers are hoping Fielder will help usher in a new championship era for the Motor City.

Just 2 months h until il Spring Break!

Warm Up Early

Month Unlimited $25 304 - 296 - 4030 Located on the Mileground

“This is awesome,” Fielder said.

“It’s kind of a dream come true. I’m excited.”

Detroit began seriously pursuing Fielder after designated hitter Victor Martinez tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during offseason conditioning. Now the Tigers have three of baseball’s biggest stars — Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander — all in their primes. Detroit won the AL Central by 15 games last year but lost to Texas in the AL championship series.

“We’re trying to win right now,” general manager Dave Dombrowski said. “We tried to win last year. We were close. I think we’ve reached a point now, on a yearly basis, we feel that way. When you look at the core of our group of players, there’s a lot of guys that are on that field right now that are quality players.”

It will be up to manager Jim Leyland to figure out where to play all of his powerful hitters. He said Thursday the Tigers will move Miguel Cabrera from first base to third to make room for Fielder. He also listed a possible batting order, with Cabrera hitting third and Fielder fourth.

It’s a lineup based on power, not speed. That much is clear.

“If they hit it where they’re supposed to hit ‘em, they can trot,” Leyland said. “We’re going back to the old-fashioned baseball. We’ve got big-time power on the corners.”

Fielder’s father Cecil became a big league star when he returned to the majors from Japan and hit 51 home runs with Detroit in 1990.

Cecil played with the Tigers into the 1996 season, and young Prince made a name for himself with his prodigious power displays during batting practice at Tiger Stadium.

No. 25 WVU to challenge George Washington, Towson this weekend by sebouh majarian sports writer

Before No. 25 West Virginia travels to Ann Arbor, Mich., next week to compete against No. 19 Michigan they will have to take care of George Washington (5-2) and Towson (6-0).

The Mountaineers (3-1, 2-0 EAGL) shook off a shaky start a week ago and put an end to Bowling Green’s upset bid, edging the Falcons 193.475-193.225.

First year coach Jason Butts is glad his group of mostly underclassmen get to work out their kinks at WVU Coliseum rather than on road. Last weekend’s win over BGSU was the Mountaineers first road trip of the season.

“I’ve basically given them the keys to the car and let them take off with it, and their doing a great job so far,” Butts said. “My philosophy has always been about the athlete and what’s best for them, so really they’ve kind of bought into helping themselves.”

WVU has had a lot of success against their Eastern Atlantic Gymnastic League opponent, holding a 40-1 record against George Washington. Against Towson, the Mountaineers have a subpar 16-10 record.

“They can definitely give us a run for our money, but, like I always say, we’re going to make it about West Virginia, worry about what we can control and hopefully put up some big numbers this weekend,”

Butts said.

The Mountaineers beat the Colonials easily last season 195.225-193.05 with the help of a career-best performance

by Amy Bieski in a quad-meet that also featured Florida and New Hampshire.

“It’s laid back at practice, it’s laid-back at the competitions, but it’s working,” Butts said.

“It’s the most fun I’ve had with a group since coming here, and they really want it. And, it’s very refreshing to work with a group that makes me feel like this isn’t a job.”

West Virginia heads into the meet ranked nationally in three of the four events, with the highest ranking on the floor exercise coming in at No. 9 with an average score of 48.967. The team holds the top spot in the region over No. 7 Georgia and No. 8 Florida, as well.

“They have to prove it every week, just because someone was successful during the meet they still have to come back in and show it during practice to prove to the team they deserve to go back in,” Butts said.

WVU also ranks No. 22 on beam (48.367) and is tied on the vault at No. 24 with Kentucky averaging a score of 48.792.

“I was very happy that we maintained our position in the top 25 because scorewise I’m not happy with where we are,” Butts said. “I’m very happy with where we are performancewise, even though

we have improvements we can make.”

Butts expects the Mountaineers to make improvements on the uneven bars – the only event in which the team isn’t ranked – as he makes changes to his lineup. The Athens, Ga., native said he will tinker with his lineup until he finds a combination that can consistently hit their routines.

The team has featured a different lineup on bars every week this season.

“We’re showing that we’re a team that deserves to be at nationals, and we have to make sure we’re doing it on all events,” Butts said.

Individually the team is led by sophomore Hope Sloanhoffer, who ranks No. 27 in the all-around with a 39.067 average and is also tied for No. 32 (9.858) on vault.

Seniors Nicole Roach and Tina Maloney have helped Butts considerably in his first season taking over for Linda Burdette-Good.

“They’re doing a phenomenal job keeping things light even when we mess up. Even during the meet, making sure the girls are focused and cheering for one another ... I couldn’t ask for anything more out of them,” Butts said.

“We’ve made a lot of changes and sometimes those changes make people nervous, but the seniors have really embraced it.” sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

Anger expressed over final treatment of Paterno at Memorial service

Phil Knight, right, the founder and CEO of Nike, speaks at Joe Paterno’s Memorial service in State College, Pa., Thursday. Knight expressed his feelings for the way Paterno was treated after the recent scandal surrounding the school.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Crediting him with building not just better athletes but better men, former Penn State football stars and others paid tribute to Joe Paterno in a huge campus memorial service Thursday that exposed a strong undercurrent of anger over his firing.

In a 2.5-hour gathering that capped three days of mourning on campus, Nike chairman and CEO Phil Knight instantly brought the near-capacity crowd of 12,000 to its feet in thunderous applause when he defended the coach’s handling of child-sex allegations leveled against a former assistant. Paterno was fired over the episode two months ago.

“This much is clear to me: If there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in that investigation and not in Joe Paterno’s response,” Knight said. Paterno’s widow, Sue, was among those rising to their feet.

Later, Paterno’s son Jay received a standing ovation when he declared: “Joe Paterno left this world with a clear conscience.”

The ceremony at the university basketball arena was filled with lavish praise that probably would have embarrassed Paterno, who died of lung cancer Sunday at 85 after racking up more wins — 409 — than any other major-college football coach and leading his team to two national championships in his 46 seasons.

He was saluted for his commitment to sportsmanship, loyalty, teamwork, character, academics and “winning with honor.” He was called a good father, a good husband, a good neighbor, a good friend, a good teacher.

About midway through the ceremony, Knight became the first speaker to explicitly address the scandal, and the audience let

loose as if it had been waiting for someone just to raise the topic.

Only one member of the university administration — dean of the college of liberal arts — and no one from the Board of Trustees spoke at the memorial, arranged primarily by the Paterno family.

Among the speakers were star athletes from each decade of Paterno’s career, including Michael Robinson, who played from 2002 to 2005, quarterback Todd Blackledge from the 1980s and Jimmy Cefalo, a star in the 1970s. All three went on to play in the NFL. Former NFL player Charles V. Pittman, speaking for players from the 1960s, called Paterno a lifelong influence and inspiration.

Pittman said Paterno pushed his young players hard that he brought Pittman to tears in his sophomore year. He said he realized later that the coach was not trying to break his spirit but instead was “bit by bit building a habit of excellence.”

“He was building a proud pro-

gram for the school, the state and the hundreds of young men he watched over for a half century,” said Pittman, senior vice president for publishing at Schurz Communications Inc., an Indianabased company that owns TV and radio stations and newspapers.

He is a member of the board of directors of The Associated Press.

“Now, with grown children, grandkids and 42 years removed from my playing days, I thought Joe Paterno had taught me all that he could teach me. I was wrong,” Pittman said. “Despite being pushed away from his beloved game, and under the extreme pressure of the events of the past few months, Joe’s grace was startling.”

Similarly, Chris Marrone, whose playing career at Penn State was cut short by injuries, said Paterno molded him into a young man with “the strength to overcome any challenge, any adversity.”

“The greatness and the legacy

of Joe Paterno lies within each of us, and no one, and I mean no one, can take that from him or from us,” Marrone said.

Paterno was fired by the trustees Nov. 9 after he was criticized for not going to police in 2002 when he was told that a former member of his coaching staff, Jerry Sandusky, had been seen sexually assaulting a boy in the showers at the football complex.

Sandusky was arrested in November and is awaiting trial on

charges he sexually assaulted 10 boys over a 15-year span.

As the scandal erupted, Pennsylvania’s state police commissioner said that Paterno may have met his legal duty but not his moral one to go to police. Penn State president Graham Spanier was also fired in the fallout.

At Thursday’s memorial, Knight defended Paterno, saying the coach “gave full disclosure to his superiors, information that went up the chains to the head of the

ap

campus police and the president of the school. The matter was in the hands of a world-class university, and by a president with an outstanding national reputation.”

Recounting Paterno’s accomplishments, Knight asked: “Who is the real trustee at Penn State University?”

A public viewing for Paterno was held on campus on Tuesday and Wednesday, and he was buried Wednesday afternoon at a State College cemetery.

WVU head coach Mike Carey talks to his team during West Virginia’s win over Marshall in the Capital Classic.

WVU tries get back on track against Marquette

By Ben Gaughan

associate sports editor

After West Virginia’s 10-point loss to Georgetown Tuesday, head coach Mike Carey emphasized the importance of his guards getting to the basket and attacking the rim.

The more the guards understood this part of the game, the better off they will be going forward, he said.

“We have to get better at that, or I have got to get somebody in here who can do that,” Carey said of his team after Tuesday’s game against Georgetown. “It

is as simple as that. That is a weakness of ours now is that we don’t get into the paint and make something happen.”

The Mountaineers (14-6, 4-3) will look to be more aggressive this weekend when they host Marquette (12-8, 3-4) Saturday.

The Golden Eagles are currently on a two-game losing streak, though they are young and athletic like the Mountaineers, having no seniors and only one junior on their squad this season.

So, it is likely both teams will have to rely on solid de-

fense and limiting the amount of turnovers to come away with a victory – something Carey was pleased with on the defensive side in the team’s previous game.

“I was very proud of our girls,” Carey said. “We were not scoring, but our defense was pretty dang good … We don’t score enough not to play great defense, and when they get away from us, this has happened the last four or five games now, we let them score a lot more points on the other end.”

Marquette’s youth has been

displayed throughout the season, as it averages only 52.4 points per game compared the WVU’s 67.8, but the scoring comes from a balanced attack on offense.

Sophomore forward Katherine Plouffe averages 12.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, while junior forward Sarina Simmons and sophomore guard Katie Young both average 8.7 points per game.

WVU redshirt sophomore guard Christal Caldwell has continued her hot hand, scoring 25 points and grabbing nine boards against Georgetown.

Turnbull feels that last weekend’s victory over Clarion was good for the squad in terms of progression.

“They’re much more attentive to the details in their preparation,” Turnbull said.

“I want to believe it’s going to help us. We definitely re-

Caldwell is now third on the team in scoring at 11.2 points per game, and second in rebounds at 6.8 per game.

The Mountaineers will continue to give her the ball in crucial moments, while trying to get the inside players such as junior center Asya Bussie and redshirt junior Ayana Dunning more involved in the offense.

Even considering how well Caldwell has been playing recently, Carey still stressed the importance of getting into the paint and creating and making easier shots for everyone on offense, including Caldwell.

“We just have to become better playmakers,” he said. “We just don’t get in the paint. If you see other guards, they lower that shoulder and that head, and they drive us right into that paint, and we don’t do that. We practice it, we teach it, but we are not doing it.”

In games after West Virginia has lost this season, it has averaged 76.8 points - nine points higher than its season average. In two of those games, the Mountaineers scored more than 90 points.

spect every opponent and get our best wrestling out every time we have an opportunity to wrestle. They have to bring the preparation the best they can with intensity and focus.”

Lock Haven will be an opponent on the rebound this Friday night. Turnbull realizes this is never easy to deal with.

“We’re going to respect every opponent exactly the same whether it’s Penn State,

Maryland, Michigan State, whoever,” Turnbull said.

“I know they’re very well coached and I know they come from a very rich wrestling tradition. I’m more concerned with our preparation, our intensity, our effort, and how we are ready to wrestle another match.”

Action takes place at the WVU Coliseum at 7:30 p.m.

Continued from page 9 listening to its head coach, West Virginia could be on the verge of spinning out of control.

If there’s one thing anybody can learn from watching Big East basketball, it’s that any team can beat anyone on any given night.

Wednesday’s result was evidence of that.

ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The important thing for the Mountaineers moving forward will be to get this loss out of their minds as quickly as possible.

With the senior leadership this team has, that’s not out of the question. Kevin Jones and Truck Bryant have been here before; they know how to get out of a funk.

“Games like this, you try to get as far away from you as possible because we knew that we were a better team,” Jones said.

“It’s hard when you have a lot of young guys because they have a tendency to get real down on themselves, especially when coach says certain things, but that’s just the way coach is.”

There are 10 games left to play in the regular season for WVU. Of those 10, only three of those games – road games against Providence and South Florida and a home game against DePaul – will be looked at as games West Virginia “should” win handily.

The rest are against teams like Syracuse, Louisville, Notre Dame, Marquette and a Pittsburgh team that looks much different than the team that lost its first seven Big East games now that point guard Tray Woodall is back in the lineup.

Wednesday’s performance was disappointing, to say the least.

WVU looks to bounce back from loss with road test against No. 4 Syracuse

bY JOHN TERRY MANAGING EDITOR

The West Virginia men’s basketball team was run off the court in Madison Square Garden by St. John’s Wednesday.

It has a tougher task tomorrow, though – a road date with No. 4 Syracuse.

“We didn’t look all that excited about playing (against St. John’s),” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Maybe we have been worse before, but I cant remember when we’ve been worse defensively.”

Syracuse (21-1, 8-1 Big East) comes in as the Big East’s top team, and if it weren’t for a road loss to Notre Dame, it could be the nation’s top team, as well.

But, it gets worse.

The Mountaineers (156, 5-3 Big East) haven’t won against Syracuse inside the

Carrier Dome since Dec. 4, 1996, and they’ve won just twice this millennium.

“We have to get a whole lot better in a short period of time, or it will be a long night for us on Saturday,” Huggins said.

The Orange are led by a pair of double-figure scorers and seven players averaging more than seven points.

Senior Kris Joseph is averraging 13.7 points per game, while sophomore Dion Waiters is scoring 12.5 points.

The team is No. 24 in the nation, averaging eight points per game, while the Mountaineers are scoring just 7.5 points.

The Orange are allowing their opponents just 60 points this year on only 38.3 percent shooting. The opposing teams are averaging 18 turnovers per game.

“I think they’re terrific.

They score so much off of

their defense, and it’s like they’re constantly running downhill at you. We’re going to have to do a much better job with ball security,” Huggins said. “They have a lot of players, and (head coach Jim Boeheim) does a great job of putting them in positions where they can be successful.”

Senior Kevin Jones is coming off of his 14th doubledouble game of the season and is averaging 20.9 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.

Boeheim also said that despite his recent struggles, West Virginia senior Truck Bryant is also a player his Orange will have to key in on.

Bryant is second on the team with 17.4 points per game, but is 6-for-29 from the field, including a 3-for16 mark from 3-point range.

“He’s been a good player since he got there,” Boeheim said. “He started out doing

good things, and he’s continued to do good things. He’s been one of the best backcourt players over an extended period of time.”

Boeheim said that there wasn’t any more importance in Saturday’s game against West Virginia, even though he said “West Virginia is always a tough game.

“Every game in the Big East is important because it’s so close in the league,” Boeheim said. “You just can’t value one game over the other. Every game is a big game, and you have to be prepared every night.”

Syracuse has regained some momentum after falling to an un-ranked Notre Dame team Saturday.

The Orange defeated Cincinnati 60-53 on the road.

Tip-off for Saturday’s game is scheduled for 1 p.m. matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Mountaineers to host Lock Haven by amit batra sports writer

Redshirt senior Matt Ryan is ranked No. 17 in his weight class.

wvu sports info

The West Virginia wrestling team looks to continue their home stretch in a good fashion when they take on Lock Haven tonight.

Lock Haven comes into the bout at 3-7 (0-2 EWL). The Bald Eagles recently fell to No. 21 Edinboro 28-6.

During the match against Edinboro, Lock Haven was able to secure back-to-back wins at 157 and 165 with Aaron Fry and Seth Creasy, but it wasn’t enough to ignite the Bald Eagles.

The Bald Eagles lost their first EWL match to Pittsburgh on the road 27-9. They will certainly try to come out on top in an upset bid against the Mountaineers tonight after falling in their first two EWL matches.

After the split of the EWL matches for the Mountaineers last weekend, West Virginia has six wrestlers ranked in the polls.

It didn’t take Bob Huggins too many words to describe West Virginia’s problems in its loss to St. John’s Wednesday night.

“I couldn’t get our guys to buy in. We tried,” he said.

“They did pretty much what I told them was going to happen.

“They played well, and we sucked.”

So what happened?

How did the Mountaineers go from looking like possibly the second-best team in the Big East Conference in their win over Cincinnati to losing by 16 to a St. John’s squad that lost four games in a row?

“Sometimes success is harder to handle than failure,” Huggins said during his postgame radio interview.

And it’s a problem that Huggins thinks stems from the attitudes that players have in this

day and age.

When things are going well, they’re untouchable.

“I just honestly think kids today put a lot more value in their ability than what their ability really deserves,” Huggins said.

“You hear kids talk – and they can’t play dead – and they’re talking about being in the green room and leaving early – and it’s a joke. It’s a farce.”

But that’s an attitude that a young team like this WVU one simply can’t have, especially in Big East play.

Brad Pitt to attend charity home building group gala NEW ORLEANS (AP) —Talk show host Ellen Degeneres and “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson are hosting a star-studded gala in New Orleans to benefit Brad Pitt’s Make It Right home rebuilding effort.

Pitt will attend the $1,000-per-person gala on March 10 called “A Night to Make It Right,” which will include performances by singers Sheryl Crow, Rihanna, Seal and Dr. John, said foundation spokeswoman Taylor Royle.

Pitt launched Make It Right in 2007 to help Lower 9th AP Ward residents who lost their Brad Pitt will attend a gala in New Orleans benefiting his ‘Make It Right’ home bulding homes during Hurricane Kaorganization. trina in 2005.

The Lower 9th Ward was one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods when Katrina caused levees to fail, inundating roughly 80 percent of the city with floodwater.

Pitt worked with architects to come up with designs for stronger, safer and more energy-efficient houses than the ones residents lost.

So far 75 homes have been built, six more are under construction and construction is set to begin on roughly eight others in coming months.

“Our goal is 150 houses, and this fundraiser is going to help us reach that goal,” said Royle, noting that all proceeds will benefit Make It Right.

Royle said it has taken more

time and money than the foundation originally thought to build 150 homes.

Getting in touch with families, making decisions about their homes, getting finances in order and clearing paperwork takes months, she said.

“It’s been a long road to get these families home,” Royle said. “But we’re happy with our progress, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the progress we’ve made.”

Royle said a video of Make It Right’s work over the past four years will be presented at the gala. A four-course dinner organized by chef John Besh will include courses by chefs Emeril Lagasse and Giada de Laurentiis.

Degeneres, a New Orleans native, has already donated more than $2 million to Make It Right.

“She’s been one of our biggest supporters,” Royle said.

Jackson, a Baton Rouge native, was quick to offer his participation in the event, Royle said.

Other celebrities serving on the event’s host committee who may also be attending include actors Josh Brolin, Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey and director Spike Lee. The gala will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Orleans. Comedian Aziz Ansari will host an after party.

Tickets for that event start at $150.

Kenny Chesney leads 47th annual ACM Awards nominations with 9 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kenny Chesney’s steamy duet, “You and Tequila” with Grace Potter, continues to radiate heat.

The song helped Chesney to nine Academy of Country Music Awards nominations Thursday morning, including the top honor of entertainer of the year.

In a phone interview from Key West, where he was about to step on his boat for a few days of fishing and fun, Chesney called the success of “You and Tequila,” written

by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, one of the highlights of his career.

“That song’s been around for a while,” Chesney said. “To me it just goes to show you a great song just has to some extent an infinite life and good songs never go out of style, and this one surely hasn’t, thank God.” Jason Aldean, next with six nominations, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton and 2011 winner Taylor Swift round out the fan-voted entertainer of the year category.

Lady Antebellum had five nominations, Paisley had four and several were deadlocked at three, including Swift.

Nominees were announced via social media with the help of stars like Reba McEntire and Lionel Richie. Fans were cho-

sen to announce the entertainer of the year candidates.

They’ll have a chance to pick the winner in that category and new artist of the year for the 47th annual ACM Awards, which will air live April 1 from Las Vegas on CBS with McEntire and Shelton hosting.

Chesney is a four-time entertainer of the year winner and was the first victor under the academy’s current fan-voted format. He’s nominated for a 10th time in the male vocalist category and received double nominations as artist and producer for album of the year for “Hemingway’s Whiskey” and single record of the year and vocal event of the year for “You and Tequila.” He also receives a song of the year nomination as performer on “You and Tequila.”

Potter, best known as an indie rock performer with her band The Nocturnals, received three nominations for the collaboration.

The nominations were in some sense a validation of Chesney’s choice to take a year off the road in 2010. He used that time to focus on the music of “Hemingway’s Whiskey,” work on film projects, re-energize and even to give the fans a little break.

He returned to the road last year and again broke the million-mark in attendance.

“I feel like I did the right thing,” Chesney said. “I know that this past summer was one of the most intense summers in a lot of great summers that we’ve had. The connection with the fans felt stronger than ever and I felt like the music we made because we took the year off was equally as strong.

And the fact that the cycle’s starting where people are recognizing that makes me excited and makes me feel great.”

Aldean also is up for male vocalist, album of the year for “My Kinda Party,” single record and vocal event of the year for the duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay” with Kelly Clarkson, and video of the year for “Tattoos on This Town.”

Lady Antebellum will compete for its third straight vocal group of the year win. The trio of Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley also is up for album of the year for “Own the Night” as artist and producer, and both song and video of the year for “Just a Kiss.”

Along with his fifth straight entertainer nomination, Paisley will be going for another win in the male vocalist category. He’s won it five times in a row. He also scored a double nomination in the vocal event category for “Old Alabama” with Alabama and “Remind Me” with Carrie Underwood.

Eric Church’s “CHIEF” and Miranda Lambert’s “Four the Record” round out the album of the year category. Lady A won last year for its breakthrough “Need You Now.” Nominees for the new artist of the year will be announced after the close of online voting Jan. 30. Fans are currently picking the nominees in that category from a list of eight semifinalists.

Fans can begin voting at the ACM website for entertainer and new artist nominees on March 19. The other award winners are picked by the academy’s membership.

It’s Shelton’s first nomination for the academy’s top award. The news comes the week after Shelton’s father, Dick, passed away.

“The support I have felt this week is overwhelming,” Shelton said in a statement. “Thank you everyone for this honor.”

“The Voice” coach isn’t the only rising star reaching new heights at the ACMs. Chris Young took a large step into the spotlight, earning nominations in the male vocalist and single record of the year categories.

He said during a call from his stop in Baltimore on the Miranda Lambert tour that 2011 was a whirlwind of highlights. He was recently talking with friends about all the

Chesney’s duet with Grace Potter, ‘You and Tequila,’ helped Chesney to nine Academy of Country Music Awards nominations great things that happened, from the success of his album, his tour with Aldean to the response to his nominated song “Tomorrow.”

“We were sitting there going, `I don’t know how you can top this,’” Young said. “And it looks just into January we’ve at least got a good shot at trying.”

Taylor Kitsch swaps his role on ‘Friday Night Lights’ for sci-fi LONDON (AP) — The “Friday Night Lights” are far beyond Taylor Kitsch now. These days, if he sees something bright on the horizon, chances are it is extraterrestrial.

“That’s how I pick my roles,” the 30-year-old British Columbian-born actor explained. “’Wait, is there aliens in it? Oh well, why am I doing it, why would you call me if there are no aliens in it?’ That’s basically how it goes.”

He’s joking, but it’s true.

Kitsch has leading roles in two big movies this year “Battleship” and “John Carter” that will see him leave the small town Texas football scene of the critically acclaimed “FNL” TV series for the big screen world of sci-fi.

First up is Disney’s interpretation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, released in

March. “John Carter” sees Kitsch play a former military captain who is transported to Mars, a planet being torn apart by war.

It’s directed by Andrew Stanton of “Finding Nemo” and “WALL-E” fame who is helming his first-live action movie.

Carter gets caught up in the conflicts and jumps into battle with a sword, loin cloth and plenty of muscle. Kitsch said Stanton insisted on a grueling regimen to get him mentally and physically prepared.

“It’s the most boring diet you could think of, really, it was four months before and seven months during, so an eleven-month regimen with that. Good times,” he told The Associated Press in an interview. “Training at 4:30 in the morning before you go to

work, and then training for the four months before as well. And then during the day, you’re training as well before takes.”

But he said it was portraying Carter’s feelings that really drained him.

“I’d say the emotion is probably the toughest thing especially, it’s quite heavy some of the stuff he goes through,” he said.

After that, it’s Peter Berg’s “Battleship,” which also stars Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard and features Rihanna in her movie debut.

Loosely based on the classic naval combat game from Hasbro, it sees five ships take on another five ships from a different planet.

“Battleship” reaches U.K. theaters April 13 before hitting the U.S. in May.

The Canadian actor says he really enjoyed collaborating with his old “FNL” executive producer Berg on his “Battleship” role of naval officer Lt. Alex Hopper. There are still aliens but this time instead of a dusty planet there’s a lot of ocean.

Kitsch says he found his sea legs pretty quickly, which was good because the crew spent several weeks shooting on the water and some scenes had him blown straight into the ocean.

“So many variables come into play, obviously time consuming, you’re always fighting the light apparently when you’re shooting outside,” he noted.

Still, Kitsch was very happy with the result.

“It’s seamless the way they’ve done it,” he said.

RFK’s wife stars in daughter’s ‘Ethel’ at Sundance PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Ethel Kennedy prefers coming to the Sundance Film Festival when she’s not the star of a movie.

She has been to Sundance in the past to see films by her daughter, documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy. This time, the widow of U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy is the focus of her daughter’s film, the Sundance premiere “Ethel.”

Ethel Kennedy said she likes it better coming to Sundance “just to see Rory’s films.”

Though initially reluctant

when her daughter proposed the documentary, Ethel Kennedy opens up on screen with candid recollections about the family, including falling in love at first sight with her future husband on a ski trip to Canada.

“He was standing in front of an open fireplace,” she said in an interview alongside her daughter. “I walked in the door and turned and saw him, and I thought, `whoa.’”

In the film, Ethel Kennedy discusses campaigning for her husband and his brother, Presi-

dent John F. Kennedy, the similarities and differences between her family and the Kennedy clan, and raising 11 children after her husband’s assassination in 1968.

At the time, she was pregnant with Rory Kennedy, her youngest child, who was born six months after her father’s death.

As a widow with such a big family, Ethel Kennedy said she coped simply by going about what she needed to do in tending her children.

“After Rory was born, it was wlife just happened to take care of daily living, which almost had practically nothing to do with me,” she said. “I just started taking carpools in the morning, and by the time I was finished dropping the last child off, I’d pick up the first one. And then, you know, I’m putting on all the galoshes. Well, you get the idea.”

In “Ethel,” airing later this year on HBO, Rory Kennedy coaxes sweet, sad and funny anecdotes out of her mother and her siblings. The Kennedys recollect their mother’s devotion to steeping the children in world affairs, her mischievous sense of humor and her rebellious streak that led to run-ins with the law, such as the time she was charged with rustling horses after freeing some mistreated animals.

To show the knee or not to show the knee? Essential fashion questions answered Christina GuTIERREZ

A&E WRITER

To show knee or not to show knee?

With this crazy weather, every morning is a battle between your head and your body. It’s sunny out, and you want to wear shorts but the unwritten rules of fashion don’t allow for bare thighs before April.

If you find yourself stuck in a battle of senses with yourself,

it’s time to set some guidelines.

Some of these rules are bendable, but some are not meant to be broken.

White before Memorial Day? Shirts, sweaters and scarves – OK. Pants, dresses and sandals – no.

Many fashion rules are meant to be broken but when you have to consider whether or not you look foolish in that outfit, reconsider.

It’s true – the weather has been all over the place lately.

But just because you can go outside without getting wind-

burn on you bare legs, doesn’t mean that you should prove it.

Unless you’re in the south or near the equator, bare legs are never appropriate in the middle of January.

This does not, however, mean that you have to be sweating in heavy winter coats and goulashes to avoid judgmental stares.

Instead of a winter coat, opt for something lighter that can still provide warmth in those cooler, shaded areas.

Denim and light leather jackets are great options.

Paired with a fashionable scarf and skinny pants and boots, the look is both functional and fashionable.

Think about the entirety of your day. You want to keep in mind not to overdress in the morning when it’s significantly colder, but also not get carried away around midday thinking the sun will still be keeping you warm when you get out of class or work after dusk.

Though the sun is warming, the wind is equally chilling. For this reason, the key to being prepared for this crazy weather

is to dress lightly without any bare skin showing.

Wearing lots of layers can help achieve the perfect balance for appropriate clothing, as well.

Not wearing some kind of long-sleeve covering is up there with wearing shorts. Just because you can, does not mean you should.

A dress with tights and a cardigan and boots is a prime example of how to get the warm-weather look while still maintaining practicality.

On even the warmest of win-

ter days, remember that it is still only a warmer day in the coldest season.

You should absolutely take advantage of these nice days by showing off great assets like legs and collar bones, but abide by the rule that every inch of skin should be covered, if even just lightly.

In a just a few weeks Punxsutawney Phil should see his shadow, and all of the fashion dreams you’ve been having will come true. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Lamb of God continue American metal tradition on latest album ‘Resolution’ Hunter homistek

A&E WRITER

There seems to be a disturbing trend among metal bands today: Bands that were once heavy and innovative are becoming increasingly generic and mainstream-sounding in an attempt to appeal to a larger fan base or, as the bands put it, “experiment.”

It is as if record companies informed bands that it is time to bring home the cash – if you have to sacrifice your sound, so be it.

Lamb of God, the torchbearing band of ‘pure American metal,’ never got that memo. In fact, I don’t think the Richmond, Va., legends were even on the mailing list.

“Resolution,” the band’s seventh studio effort, brings all the heaviness, crunchy riffs and insanely technical drumming we’ve come to know and love from Lamb of God, and it

is a refreshing reminder that all is not lost in the world of modern metal.

While it is natural to compare a CD to a band’s previous efforts, I am going to refrain from doing so for the simple fact that, well, it sounds like Lamb of God. Does it compare to their Grammy-nominated outing, “Sacrament?”

Maybe it sounds more like “Wrath?”

It sounds like Lamb of God, and that is really what matters. From the opening scream and slow chugging riff of “Straight for the Sun” to the epic closing phrases of “King Me,” there is absolutely no mistaking the band’s signature groove and power.

Tracks like “Ghost Walking” and “Desolation” absolutely define the band’s sound. Lamb of God is one of the few metal bands whose members incorporate a heavy influence of groovy blues into their work – and they do it well.

Oh, do they ever do it well.

These two tracks are devastatingly heavy and bonecrushingly powerful, yet they retain the element of groove that keeps them galloping swiftly to the finish line. This is has always set Lamb of God apart from other bands in the metal genre.

And while “Resolution” is 100 percent Lamb of God goodness, the band did step outside its comfort zone a bit on the album.

For one, guitarist Mark Morton is more lead-guitar oriented on this album. While he has played some great solos on previous outings, his lead work seems to be more technical and dominant than ever on “Resolution.” Morton, in particular, really stepped up his game on this album, and the result is magnificent.

Secondly, “Insurrection,” the 10th track, has the first instance of vocalist Randy Blythe employing clean vocals as opposed to his trademark screams. Like Morton’s dedication to soloing, this

gamble paid off. His clean vocals, like his screams, are unique sounding and are a bit dark and mysterious.

While I never thought I would endorse clean singing on a Lamb of God album, Blythe pulled the technique off well and managed to avoid sounding like an angst-ridden teenager while doing so (I’m looking at you, Trivium).

“Resolution” is without a doubt my favorite album of the year, and I would go as far as to say it is my favorite album of the past two years. Nobody can pull off the groove metal sound like Lamb of God, and this album serves as a huge exclamation point on an already stellar career.

If you’re a fan of metal music and banging your head until you can’t feel your neck, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of “Resolution.”

Gotye continues to explore art pop on ‘Making Mirrors’ EMILY MEADOWS

A&E WRITER

Australian musician Walter De Backer, better known by his stage name Gotye, is formally bringing his sound from the land Down Under to United States alternative airwaves.

“Making Mirrors”, Gotye’s third studio-recorded album, was originally released overseas in August 2011, and after topping Australian charts under favorable reviews, the album is set for an anticipated official American release on Tuesday.

Gotye’s sophomoric effort, “Like Drawing Blood” was released back in 2006 and lacked much of what “Making Mirrors” has established.

The maturation of his art pop persona had found its place within ’80s pop and modern

alt-rock influences backed with chillingly exceptional and audible vocals throughout the entirety of the album.

“Mirrors” certainly does not lack instrumental or vocal creativity, utilizing everything from futuristic electronica recordings, finely tuned keyboarding and soulful horns and is far from lackluster if listened to in its entirety.

Gotye’s powerful voice is heavily emphasized on his recent effort and could be classified as nothing short of an instrument in itself.

“Easy Way Out,” the album’s second track that wraps at just under two minutes, is a perfect start for the album to draw your attention – simple and fun lyrics wrapped in an undeniably catchy and Beck-influenced artistic style.

“Somebody That I Used to Know,” the album’s critically acclaimed and highly popular single, joins forces with songstress Kimbra to play out an infectious four-minute tune elucidating post-breakup emotions at the end of a tarnished relationship.

Aside from the chilling yet addicting breakup jams, the album retains overall optimism with “I Feel Better,” where soulful and psychedelic beats take over and lead into the hand clapping, new-wave-inspired, and genuinely happy “In Your Light,” where he announces breaking down the door just to great the day in the light of a special acquaintance.

Mirror’s second single, “Eyes Wide Open,” places a more modern and radio-friendly approach on the alternate new wave vibe Gotye has crafted,

Downtown Motown gets a dose of soul

Vocalist Adrian Michaelz sings at Gibbies Pub and Eatery.

by Christina Gutierrez A&E WRITER

Morgantown is a hub for great music. And, Morgantown-based band The Soul Miners are no exception.

The band’s blend of soul and R&B give their ’60s and ’70s covers a unique twist.

Lead singer Adrian Michaelz said he feels it is the band’s duty to bring back the classics.

“We like to play what we consider real, good music,” he said.

As opposed to the recently popular techno beats and mashups that rely on machines and synthesizers, The

Soul Miners take pride in making music that requires hard work and talent.

The foursome is compiled of John James, Jake Hiles, Raymond Cook and Michaelz; who play drums, Fender bass, guitar and vocals, respectively.

“We’re all kind of naturalistic,” Michaelz said.

For the past four years, however, the band has had a great amount of support from music lovers in Morgantown.

“We’ve played in other places, but I don’t think they appreciated what we were doing,” Michaelz said.

Senior public relations stu-

www.facebook.com/soulminers

dent and jazz director at U92, Brian Smith, was impressed upon his recent introduction to the band.

“It’s just feel-good music,” Smith said. “Perfect for keeping a crazy weekend crowd pumped.”

There is a huge appreciation and growing population of “good music” in Morgantown. The Soul Miners take inspiration from who fit the category and hope for their success to continue to grow.

As well as local celebrities, the group draws much inspiration from artists James Brown, Prince and The Temptations.

www.facebook.com/soulminers

The Soul Miners play at Gibbies Pub and Eatery.

“Although you recognize the songs, we make them our own,” Michaelz said.

“We love performing but without the fans and supporters we’d be a bunch of guys in a garage jam band,” Michaelz said.

The band plays at venues all over Morgantown from Joe Mamas to 123 Pleasant Street.

They will be performing at Gibbie’s Pub and Eatery Saturday at 10 p.m.

For more information about the band and upcoming events, check out their Facebook page. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
