Mario’s Fishbowl opens new location by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

For more than half a century, Mario’s Fishbowl Bar and Grill has charmed local patrons with its friendly atmosphere and trademark beer goblets.

Now, “The Fishbowl” has opened a second location in the Suncrest neighborhood – a move co-owner Mark Furfari felt was a long time coming.

“After 62 years, we thought it was time to open another Fishbowl,” he said.

The Suncrest Mario’s Fishbowl is located at 3117 University Avenue. Furfari said the second location will be just as satisfying as the first.

“Of course, you can’t

physically recreate the original Fishbowl,” he said. “But this one is much larger, more open and maintains the ‘diner’ feel.”

The original Mario’s Fishbowl became famous for its trademark goblets – giant frosted glasses filled with beer. For decades, patrons attached handwritten messages to the walls of the establishment, a tradition that’s continued to the new location.

The new location also includes a downstairs club, where customers 21 years and older can enjoy pool tables, video gambling machines and a full bar. The main dining room is open to all ages, however.

“We still encourage en-

tire families to come,” Furfari said.

The new location maintains some traditions of the original, including a monthly drawing for “Little Fish,” when lucky winners can get a pass for two free beers a day for a month.

Furfari said the second location was a move made for business and convenience reasons.

“Suncrest is a perfect place for us. It’s in close proximity to lots of residences and businesses,” he said. “People on this side of town can come in whenever and grab a sandwich and a beer. Business has been great.”

Kim Laurita has worked as a cook for Furfari since

1997 and said she was excited about a Fishbowl opening in Suncrest.

“I was tickled pink when I heard they were opening a new location,” she said.

Laurita has seen a lot of changes in her time, but she said one thing hasn’t changed at the new location: quality service.

“It’s different, but we still have the same great homemade food,” she said. “The only pre-made thing we have are the appetizers.”

Laurita takes pride in the Fishbowl’s dedication to fresh cuisine.

“Frozen fries – they’re full of preservatives,” she said.

“We cut ours by hand, and you know the only ingredients are fresh potatoes and

sea salt.”

Laurita said she appreciates her work and her relationships with customers and coworkers.

“They’re good people, and I’d do anything for them,” she said. “That’s part of being family.”

Many customers consider their friends made at the Fishbowl family.

“It’s like the bar from ‘Cheers’ – people come here, and everybody knows each other’s names,” said Catherine Thieme, a longtime Morgantown resident who works for West Virginia University. “Plus, you can’t buy a better bowl of soup anywhere in town,” she said.

Thieme and her husband Robert are frequenters of the

original Mario’s Fishbowl, but they are growing fond of the new location.

“It’s really open and friendly, with the same food and great service,” Robert said. “We’ve really gravitated towards this one.”

Robert grew up in New Jersey, where he garnered a love for family-owned establishments.

“We’ve always enjoyed the family bar environment, but we normally go home by eight – that’s when the students take over,” he said with a chuckle.

Members of the local community had the opportunity to enjoy “Backyard Wings, Brews and BBQ” Saturday, while creating a lasting impact in the lives of families with sick children.

The Morgantown Ronald McDonald House hosted the Wings, Brews and BBQ Cook-off Saturday, with all proceeds benefiting the Morgantown RMHC. The majority of the proceeds went toward Ronald McDonald Family Room at the WVU’S Children’s Hospital, which is scheduled to be completed in February.

Big Frank’s and Roma’s Pizza went head-to-head in the wing cook off, and Texas Roadhouse and Big Frank’s competed in the barbecue division.

Keith Freeman, managing partner of Texas Roadhouse, said he enjoyed the atmosphere, food and helping a good cause.

“We’ve been out every year. It’s a good time, and it’s for a good cause,” he said.

Matt Kelly, an employee of West Virginia Radio Corporation, said he was excited to attend the event after hearing about it at work.

“We had a couple judges at the event, and we hyped it up a little bit,” he said.

Kelly said he was also excited to try various foods

from the seven food vendors at the cook-off.

“Some of them try new flavors and things before they try it elsewhere, so I came to try and get a first taste,” he said.

Along with food, those who attended the Wings, Brews and BBQ Cook-off had the opportunity to enjoy a mix of local music from bands Junior Fez, Shane Meade and the Sound, Higher Ground and 3 Nuts and a Woody.

Steve Plummer said he traveled to attend the event to hear one of his favorite local bands, Shane Meade and the Sound.

“The Pride of West V i r g i n i a ,” the Mountaineer Marching Band, cheerleaders and the Mountaineer mascot were all present to raise the excitement level as WVU prepares to kick off the new football season.

Various vendors and other local businesses, including WV Living Magazine, were present at the event for the first time.

“To better introduce the Morgantown magazine to the public, we did a full year of issues just with this August/September issue, ‘Think Big,’ because it’s a new era in WVU sports with the Big 12.

And it’s a new opportunity for the City of Morgantown to be showcased nationally,” said Tommy Napier, Integrated Marketing and Advertising Specialist for WV Living.

Napier said he thought the Countdown to Kickoff event would be a great way for the magazine to show-

“We were excited to bring the first August/September issue to this event and highlight the beginning of school, the football season and to celebrate WVU and the Morgantown community,” he said. “The energy around Morgantown is strong, and it’s something the magazine captures well.”

Many alumni said they feel the upcoming season is going to be a season of many firsts, with a lot of new opponents, people and opportunities to come.

Cassie Werner, former director of the Mountaineer Maniacs and a WVU alumna, said she believes the event was a great way to bring all the local alumni chapters together and to get people in the community excited about what’s to come.

“This is the first time I’ve been to this event where I’ve not been a student, so it’s pretty exciting.

I’m a part of the Alumni Association, but I recently joined my chapter for Morgantown as well,” Werner said. “It’s a great way to stay connected and get involved within your chapter.”

To astronaut Armstrong, moonwalk ‘just a job’

Buzz Aldrin, left, Michael Collins, center, and Neil Armstrong stand in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Neil Armstrong made “one giant leap for mankind” with a small step onto the moon.

He commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century’s scientific expeditions and becoming the first man to walk on the moon.

His first words after the feat are etched in history books and the memories of the spellbound millions who heard them in a live broadcast.

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” Armstrong said.

He insisted later that he had said “a’’ before man, but said he, too, couldn’t hear it in the version that went to the world.

Armstrong, who had bypass surgery earlier this month, died Saturday at age 82 from what his family said were complications of heart procedures. His family didn’t say where he died; he had lived in suburban

Cincinnati.

He was “a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job,” his family said in a statement.

The moonwalk marked America’s victory in the Cold War space race that began Oct. 4, 1957, with the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik 1, a 184-pound satellite that sent shock waves around the world.

The accomplishment fulfilled a commitment President John F. Kennedy made for the nation to put a man on the moon before the end of 1960s.

Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs.

“The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to,” Armstrong once said.

In those first few moments on the moon, Armstrong stopped in what he called “a tender mo-

ment” and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action.

Although he had been a Navy fighter pilot, a test pilot for NASA’s forerunner and an astronaut, the modest Armstrong never allowed himself to be caught up in the celebrity and glamour of the space program.

“I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer,” he said in 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. “And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.”

Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley, who interviewed Armstrong for NASA’s oral history project, said Armstrong fit every requirement the space agency needed for the first man to walk on moon, especially because of his engineering skills and the way he handled celebrity by shunning it.

“I think his genius was

in his reclusiveness,” said Brinkley. “He was the ultimate hero in an era of corruptible men.”

Fellow Ohioan and astronaut John Glenn, one of Armstrong’s closest friends, recalled Saturday how Armstrong was on low fuel when he finally brought the lunar module Eagle down on the Sea of Tranquility.

“That showed a dedication to what he was doing that was admirable,” Glenn said.

A man who kept away from cameras, Armstrong went public in 2010 with his concerns about President Barack Obama’s space policy that shifted attention away from a return to the moon and emphasized private companies developing spaceships.

He testified before Congress, and in an email to The Associated Press, Armstrong said he had “substantial reservations.”

Along with more than two dozen Apollo-era veterans, he signed a letter calling the plan a “mis-

guided proposal that forces NASA out of human space operations for the foreseeable future.”

Armstrong was among the greatest of American heroes, Obama said in a statement.

“When he and his fellow crew members lifted off aboard Apollo 11 in 1969, they carried with them the aspirations of an entire nation.

They set out to show the world that the American spirit can see beyond what seems unimaginable – that with enough drive and ingenuity, anything is possible,” Obama said.

Obama’s Republican opponent Mitt Romney echoed those sentiments, calling Armstrong an American hero whose passion for space, science and discovery will inspire him for the rest of his life.

“With courage unmeasured and unbounded love for his country, he walked where man had never walked before. The moon will miss its first son of

earth,” Romney said.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden recalled Armstrong’s grace and humility.

“As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankind’s first small step on a world beyond our own,” Bolden said in a statement.

Armstrong’s modesty and self-effacing manner never faded.

When he appeared in Dayton in 2003 to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of powered flight, he bounded onto a stage before a packed baseball stadium.

But he spoke for only a few seconds, did not mention the moon, and quickly ducked out of the spotlight.

He later joined Glenn, by then a senator, to lay wreaths on the graves of Wilbur and Orville Wright.

Glenn introduced Armstrong and noted that day was the 34th anniversary of his moonwalk.

West Virginia wins Mountaineer Invitational by austin seidel

West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer. “We have to go out and play our game and make fewer mistakes. It is tough to win a match when you miss 17 serves and give up six service aces.”

The team responded excellently to Kramer’s talk, going 3-0 in straight sets against the Blue Devils of Central Connecticut State in a match dominated by freshman outside hitter Hannah Sackett.

The freshman controlled the first set with seven kills on 15 attempts, leading to a .583 hit percentage. Sack continued to control the match and finish with 23 kills and nine digs.

sports writer

In its first tournament of the 2012 season, the West Virginia volleyball team came away from the Mountaineer Invitational victorious.

The young Mountaineer team went 2-1 during the weekend, including two 3-0 shutouts against Central Connecticut State and Loyola-Maryland. The Mountaineers’ only loss came against the Saint Francis , Pa., Red Flash, which defeated West Virginia 3-2.

“I just told them that they have to use their brains,” said

Sackett was rewarded with the tournament MVP award after recording double-digit kills in each match of the invitational.

“I’m really excited, and I know I could not have done this without my teammates,” Sackett said. “I’m excited to just get out there and continue to get better moving ahead. I’m ready to play some big games and get everyone involved.”

Fellow teammates Brittany Sample and Caleah Wells also shined, as both were placed on the all-tournament team.

Sample, a freshman setter, recorded 107 assists, 32 digs

women’s soccer

and four blocks. Wells also contributed with eight kills in the final match against Loyola-Maryland giving her a tournament total of 23 kills.

The Mountaineers’ final match against the LoyolaMaryland Greyhounds proved the young team could continue their dominance in the second day, eliminating the Greyhounds in three straight sets (2516, 25-23, 25-21). Sackett finished strong in the final match, recording 15 kills and leading the team for the third consecutive match. Sackett also contributed two service aces to add to West Virginia’s powerful serving.

The Mountaineers finished the tournament with 18 service aces and held their opponents to 16 aces.

“Serving is a strong point for this team. We work on it every day in practice,” Kramer said. “We need to just go out there every game and sustain our level of play throughout the match.”

Saint Francis showed how a youthful team with seven freshmen and three transfer students can get rattled and run into mistakes, forcing the Mountaineers into 23 attacking errors and 17 service errors. The Mountaineers rebounded well and finished the invitational with 50 at-

tack errors and 37 service errors – an obvious improvement as the tournament continued.

The Mountaineers look to use the momentum from their pair of 3-0 set sweeps to move into Wednesday’s game against No. 2 Texas.

Texas also played in a weekend invitational and went 3-0 with three straightset victories against LSU, San Diego and Cal Poly.

football position previews: defensive backs

Upset could set tone for Inexperience not a concern for the rest of WVU’s season Mountaineer secondary in 2012 by nick arthur

BY cody schuler

Losing two of its first three games wasn’t something the preseason 18th-ranked West Virginia women’s soccer team expected upon entering the 2012 season.

Following back-to-back Big East Conference Championships, losing wasn’t experienced often in Morgantown.

But after tough losses to La Salle and Central Michigan, a 1-2 record to begin the season became reality.

However, a shocking 1-0 upset against No. 1 Stanford Sunday afternoon in the Penn State Invitational may have been exactly what the Mountaineers needed to spark better play. ”We were really thinking about where the season was going and that (win) just gave us the boost to let us know that this team can do it,” said senior defender Bry McCarthy.

With six seniors lost from last season’s Big East Conference Champion team, youth and inexperience plagued the team in its first two games.

But a win of this magnitude can quickly set the tone moving forward. ”We went from being completely defeated and being down on ourselves to coming out now and beating the No. 1 team in the country,” McCarthy said. “I don’t even have a word to describe it.

“We just have to learn from this and coming and going and keep working hard.”

Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has been at the helm for 16 seasons and has seen her team make trips to the Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament.

But she said she feels this was one of the biggest wins in her coaching career.

Still, she thinks the team must use this as a learning experience.

“Our mentality is we’ve got to learn from our experience,” Izzo-Brown said. “The season is still really young. We just felt in our team meeting that if we stuck to the plan that we could get some momentum forward going into next weekend.”

“We still have things to work on. But a win like this is only going to help. It’s good momentum, but on Tuesday we’ve got to get

Though youth is plentiful in the West Virginia secondary, cornerbacks coach Daron Roberts isn’t worried.

Age and experience may be typical ways to measure a player’s preparedness and ability to play a position, but Roberts primarily looks for just one thing: covering deep passes. “(Youth) is not a concern to me, because I am looking for guys that can cover the deep ball downfield,” he said. “They can be 12 or 21 years old – I don’t care.”

A pair of true freshmen defensive backs have answered Roberts’ call and have positioned themselves to make an impact from the West Virginia secondary this fall.

Nana Kyeremeh and Ricky Rumph have captured the attention of fellow players and coaches this summer and could begin doing the same to Mountaineer fans early this season.

Rumph, a native of Daytona Beach, Fla., has used his resilience and consistent level of play to catch the eye of Roberts, his position coach. “(Rumph) has shown a lot of toughness, because he didn’t know he was going to be playing for West Virginia two months ago,” he said. “I feel like he has at least earned an opportunity to show himself on the field.

He has been consistent. We are going to give him some reps, and it is our hope that he can contribute early in the season,” he said.

Kyeremeh, who hails from Worthington, Ohio, is listed with Rumph in the two-deep lineup of the West Virginia secondary. His natural athleticism and build helped put him on Roberts’ radar. “(Coach Roberts) told me one time, ‘Put your arms out.’ He said I have Godgiven abilities, and it is my physical stature – and once I know how to play with it, it will be good to see,” he said.

Though both are still unproven, Roberts stands by his claim that if a player can defend long passes, he will

back to work.”

Junior forward Frances Silva gave the Mountaineers the 1-0 83rd minute from the outer edge of the box.

Silva feels this win will have an immediate impact on the performance of the team, starting with next weekend’s matchup against No. 6 Penn State at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown.

“We have so much confidence,” Silva said. “We have a big weekend coming up.

Being able to get this win gives us all the confidence in the world to go out and attack our next opponent.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

chance, and fortunately it just carried over the goalkeeper and went in.”

Hartford made one lastditch effort to push the ball down toward the Mountaineers’ goal as time expired, but the attack was fruitless, and West Virginia claimed their first win of the year.

“I thought we were the team that really tried to play tonight,” said LeBlanc. “I thought it was a gutsy performance from our guys.

We scored two great goals through buildup and combination play.”

Saturday evening’s attendance of 1,786 marked the fifth-highest total for a men’s soccer match in the history of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Hartford’s Damion Lowe and WVU true freshman forward Ryan Cain were ejected late in the second half. Hartford’s team manager was sent off after he angrily disputed a referee’s ruling from the sideline in the 25th minute.

“You’ve got to give them credit; they played hard,” LeBlanc said. “A couple rash challenges that were borderline, but I think a lot of it was exuberance and youth playing in front of a big crowd. I don’t think there was necessarily any intent to hurt; I think they wanted to tackle and play hard, and certainly our kids matched it and moved on.”

The Mountaineers indeed came out aggressively, controlling the pace of the match and assembling a few organized attacks early, including the goal scored

by Pittman in the 20th minute to give WVU an early 1-0 lead. After receiving a deep ball from senior Shadow Sebele, Cain touched the ball to Doue, who then crossed it to a streaking Pittman, who headed it into the back of the net for the score and the early advantage.

But Hartford’s manager being sent off only a few minutes later seemed to disrupt WVU’s rhythm.

The Hawks seized the momentum and subsequently scored on Yeaney’s header almos five minutes after their manager had been forced to leave the pitch.

The senior slapped his hands to the ground in frustration before covering his face in pain, but told reporters after the game the ball had just caught his unlocked ankle in an awkward spot and he would be ready to start in WVU’s next match.

Later in the half, with the game tied at 1-1 and a season-opening draw becoming a reality, senior forward Peabo Doue received a drop-off pass from fellow senior Uwem Etuk and lifted a majestic ball up and over the leaping, fullyextended Hartford goalkeeper into the right upper 90. The dazzling effort put the Mountaineers ahead 2-1 with minimal time left.

“If they can cover the deep ball, they are going to get a chance to play.

The young guys, especially Kyeremeh and Rumph, have shown us some things,” he said.

“We haven’t been in a real game environment with 65,000 people, but I haven’t seen either one of them have a situation get too big for them. With each practice, they have shown they can handle a heavy load.”

With returning starters in redshirt junior Brodrick Jenkins and senior Pat Miller, the cornerbacks unit has a solid veteran base from which to grow.

The Mountaineers will also look to sophomore Avery Williams and true freshman Brandon Napoleon for further depth at cornerback.

Another pair of true freshmen in the secondary – this time at safety – have also made a name for themselves amongst their peers.

Karl Joseph (Orlando, Fla.) and K.J. Dillon (Apopka, Fla.) have benefitted from practicing against players such as redshirt junior wide receiver Stedman Bailey, who has seen up close what the two safeties are capable of.

“Those guys will com-

pete; they look good, and they understand the game of football pretty well,” he said.

“I would think that they are getting the defense down pretty (well), and as a result, that is why those guys are out there with these ones.”

Co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Joe DeForest pointed to West Virginia’s explosive offense as the key for the quick development of the freshmen.

“They are getting used to the speed of the game against one of the best offenses in the country – and that’s what excites me,” he said.

“They get to see (senior wide receiver) Tavon Austin every day. Is there a guy out there better than that to practice against each and every day?

“Karl Joseph gets up there in one-on-one against (Austin) every day because he wants to get better. That’s awesome,” he said.

With redshirt junior Darwin Cook, redshirt sophomore Ishmael Banks and senior Matt Moro all returning, the Mountaineers will have a healthy amount of depth to use throughout the season. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Another hollow debate on whether or not we should do anything about this vicious cycle of senseless violence. Isn’t it time we stopped idly listening to politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle disingenuously huffing and puffing about this issue and actually take action?

Accepting that we, as Americans, have a serious gun problem would be a great first step.

According to statistics

provided by the United States Department of Justice, there is an average of 300,000 violent crimes involving guns committed in the U.S. each year.

Close to 9,000 murders are committed with firearms in the U.S. each year. Just to put it into perspective, that number is 30 times higher in the U.S. than it is in Great Britain, even after you adjust for population size.

So what gives? Is our society inherently a more violent one and thus more susceptible to these terrifying shootings? Perhaps.

But even if a deep-seated sociological problem is contributing to this startling disparity, there is no denying that in the U.S., it is far too easy for anyone, including potential mass murderers, to acquire military-grade firearms.

Despite these statistics and the recent wave of gun violence, the U.S. public remains deeply divided on this issue. A recent CNN poll found that 50 percent of Americans favor no restrictions or only minor restrictions on gun ownership.

In other words, half

the country believes it is within the rights of all Americans to purchase a semi-automatic Glock, AK47 or even a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

These are hardly the types of weapons one would bring along on a hunting trip or carry around for self-defense.

Should they be so readily available? Wouldn’t it make sense to restrict their sale, at the very least to ensure they don’t fall into the hands of the next James Holmes or Jared Loughner? Should we be performing more thor-

ough background checks to meet this end?

These are questions we, as Americans, must ask ourselves. Because this is an election year, we cannot depend on our politicians to facilitate a substantive discussion, as their only concern will be exploiting this urgent issue for shortterm gain. Thus it is our responsibility, as citizens, to facilitate this debate.

In the wake of yet another gun-related tragedy, it is clear now is the time for us to settle this debate.

Why you should join The Daily Athenaeum staff

matt sunday/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Daily Athenaeum, located on 284 Prospect Street on West Virginia University’s Downtown Campus, is celebrating its 125 year anniversary this year.

david ryan former editor

The Daily Athenaeum needs you.

Yes, you.

Don’t dismiss this simple truth as some weak attempt at marketing – The Daily Athenaeum legitimately needs you.

As a student at West Virginia University, you have many avenues available to further your ascent into a world beyond education.

Student organizations, s tu d e nt g ove r n m e nt, clubs, fraternities and sororities – all help offer you a look into a world beyond textbooks.

The Daily Athenaeum is such an avenue.

Each day, the staff of The Daily Athenaeum writes, edits and produces a 10-12-page periodical full of news, opinion, arts and sports, all for the benefit of the reader.

But nothing would line these pages without you – the student. Every single inch of text in the paper is written and edited by students. There is no non-student supervision, no administrative interference – just content produced by students wanting to inform, entertain and enlighten.

As a student at West Virginia University, I was privileged to work while I earned two degrees doing just that. In five years, I was able to write columns, news stories and entertainment pieces – even shoot a few photos of football and basketball games.

All these opportunities exist for you today at The Daily Athenaeum.

A student newspaper is a wonderful thing. An independent, student-run newspaper is an even better thing. The DA exists in a rare space these days.

Though some non-students help on the admin-

istrative side (booking and selling ads, making sure the paper is printed and delivered), the content is the responsibility of only the students.

Having that kind of responsibility makes you think twice about every word you submit and every opinion you give.

West Virginia University holds a great asset in the DA. An independent student press, free from a communications or journalism school and administrative interference, shows dedication to a student-centered university.

It’s a great experience that often sets it apart from its collegiate peers.

While others across the country have advisers poring over every detail, The DA does not.

It can be daunting, but it is rewarding.

Seeing students, staff and faculty of WVU reading your content is even more so. Having your cov-

erage gain national attention – better still.

By now you should be picking up an application.

Don’t be deterred if the responsibility seems overwhelming. Mistakes do happen. They are embarrassing. I once printed that Robert F. Kennedy was president of the United States and even misspelled Israel; but you learn from these mistakes.

You grow.

Even if you don’t want to be a journalist and just have a passion for writing, the paper is still a fantastic showcase of the craft. The newsroom is full of biology, accounting, and sport management majors. In an era of shifting definitions of what a “journalist” actually is, this melting pot of degrees has never been more important.

The five years I spent at 284 Prospect St. were the best of my college experience. During that time, I was privileged to work

with some gifted writers, make some great, lifelong friends and even earn state and national journalism awards.

Covering the death of Osama bin Laden and the accompanying celebrations moments before the edition was supposed to go to print was one of the most chaotic but exhilarating nights of my life.

Inter viewing worldfamous comedians like Bill Maher and Joan Rivers, being mocked by Stephen Colbert for having an accent, interviewing the composer of Doctor Who and having a column about the Iraq war read on the BBC World Service were all thrilling opportunities.

These same opportunities are available now.

Columnists who want to share their viewpoint – all viewpoints and affiliations are encouraged.

News writers who want to share the news they

think is important.

Arts and Entertainment staff who want to cover the sights and sounds.

Sports writers who want to cover the big games.

As experience grows, so do the opportunities.

Each year the staff hires and seeks exciting new staff to lead their editorial positions. I myself enjoyed serving as Opinion editor, Arts& Entertainment editor and editor-in-chief.

The responsibilities were all varying, exciting and unbelievable experiences.

It’s easy to dismiss The DA as just another college newspaper, but at WVU, it’s yours to be a part of.

It’s yours to help shape.

The Daily Athenaeum began its journey 125 years ago as a student publication designed to help foster new talent and share the day’s stories and views.

Today, that legacy continues. And it needs you to do just that.

Men should stay quiet when it comes to women’s issues tyler branson texas christian university

Sometimes men just need to shut up.

Todd Akin, a GOP representative from Missouri and U.S. Senate hopeful, caused a firestorm recently for his remarks in an interview in which he clarified his stance on abortion in cases of rape.

“If it’s a legitimate rape,” Akin said, “the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”

In light of these remarks, which Mitt Romney called “inexcusable” and Presi-

DA

dent Obama condemned as “offensive,” Akin has since recanted his comments. Yet despite calls from those in his own party to withdraw from the race, Akin announced Friday afternoon his determination to continue his campaign for U.S. Senate.

In a video apology, Akin begs for the American public’s forgiveness and said that he had “used the wrong words,” later vowing that despite it all, “I am not a quitter” and “by the grace of God, we’re going to win this race.”

In fact, it seems that everywhere you tune into this scandal you can find

Rep. Akin willing to give a sound bite, video clip, or interview, obstinate in his determination to press forward at all costs.

Akin’s comments and his refusal to shut up about them show a complete lack of empathy and understanding toward women.

His general attitude also underscores why, as President Obama has said, “we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women.”

Moreover, Akin exposes a nasty trend in our country’s discussions on women’s health: The pa-

rameters, content, and participants in these discussions are largely determined by men.

Men just need to shut up about women’s issues. This doesn’t mean that men are not allowed to have opinions on things like abortion and healthcare. Neither does it mean that men should just avoid talking about women’s issues at all costs. By “shut up,” I mean men should employ a critical silence. This doesn’t mean closing your eyes but rather opening your ears – listening. By effectively stepping out of the way, listening can open up a space where women can

speak for themselves.

By doing more listening than talking, perhaps men could learn a few things themselves in this discussion, or at the very least give women a platform from which to speak on their own terms. Rhetoric and Composition scholar Krista Ratcliffe has called this “Rhetorical Listening,” or rather, a productive silence that engages public debate more by letting others speak.

As a teacher of writing, we are often told to “cultivate our own silence” in classroom discussions, allowing our students to generate ideas without too

much directive prodding.

Similarly, the national dialogue in this country could benefit from a cultivation of silence on behalf of a huge chunk of the noisiest students: men.

Men in general and Rep. Akin in particular, need to find more rhetorically productive ways to engage the conversation on women’s health. In a world where almost 90 percent of violent crime and 99 percent of rape is committed by men, perhaps we need to cultivate a more critical silence on issues that pertain to women.

In other words, men just need to shut up.

West Virginia stuns defending national champions in 1-0 upset by shea ulisney sports writer

After suffering a 2-0 loss at the hands of Central Michigan Friday, the West Virginia women’s soccer team upset No. 1 Stanford 1-0 Sunday.

Junior forward Frances Silva’s goal in the 83rd minute made the difference in the game, which ended Stanford’s 64-match regular season unbeaten streak.

“Obviously, they’re the No. 1 team in the country for a reason,” said West Virginia head coach Nikki

Izzo-Brown. “We just decided, as a staff, that we needed to try to frustrate them and disrupt them, and that’s what the girls did today.”

After freshman forward Kailey Utley earned a corner kick, Silva was able to find the back of the net off a rebound in the box.

“I can’t even explain the feelings going through my body right now,” Silva said.

“We played amazing.”

The Mountaineer defense held the Cardinal to only one shot on goal. WVU was able to create opportu-

nities leading five shots on goal and two corner kicks.

Senior defender Bry McCarthy intercepted a pass and took a shot in the 87th minute, but it was saved by Gleason.

“They worked for the win. It was a little unconventional,” Izzo-Brown said. “But when you’re playing a team that good, you just have to disrupt them.”

It was the first time Stanford lost a game to a team with a losing record since 2006.

“This is probably one

of the biggest collegiate games I’ve ever played in,” McCarthy said. “We just stopped them. It’s just so exciting, and it’s so great for this program.

“None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for (Izzo-Brown). She is the best coach in the country, and she just proved it.”

Friday, Central Michigan took an early lead after midfielder Katie Slaughter dropped a ball over the back where forward Laura Twidle scored on WVU goalkeeper Sara Keane, 1-0.

Mountaineers score 2-1 victory in season opener vs. Hartford by doug walp sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team defeated the Hartford Hawks 2-1 in the Mountaineers’ season opener Saturday evening during the first leg of the WVU Nike Classic at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Two of WVU’s most experienced players found the net in the Mountaineers’ first game as a member of the Mid-American conference. Senior midfielder Travis Pittman put West Virginia ahead 1-0 early in the first half and forward Peabo Doue, also a senior, scored the dramatic game-winning goal in the 77th minute.

Hartford defender Connor Yeaney scored the lone matt sunday/the daily athenaeum goal for the Hawks, capiSenior Peabo Doue celebrates with fans after West Virginia’s 2-1 win against Hartford. talizing on a long cross off

of a free kick from forward David Bernhardsson.

“Absolutely disappointed,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc about giving up the goal. “We talked about that before the game in regard to their team feeding off of set pieces and counter attacks. Before the game, it was up on the board.

Eighty percent of their goals came off set pieces, and what do we do? We bail them out with a silly foul when they weren’t any danger to hurt us.

Their best chances came on our turnovers.”

Overall, West Virginia (1-0-0) tallied 14 total shots to Hartford’s eight and also took six corner kicks, compared to only a single corner attempt for the Hawks (0-1-0).

The season opener was a physical initiation to the season for both sides, with the teams combining for 41 fouls, seven yellow cards and three red cards.

see mEn’s on PAGE 3

During the 43rd minute, CMU forward Morgan Wilcoxon split a pair of defenders off a miss clear, and took a shot adding a second goal for CMU, 2-0.

The Mountaineers generated good scoring tries in the second half with three attempts by midfielder Kara Blosser.

Sophomore for ward Kate Schwindel shot in the 71st minute but was deflected by a diving stop from CMU goalkeeper Stefanie Turner. Schwindel finished with a game-high five shots on goal.

It’s time for WVU fans to step up to the plate nick arthur associate sports editor

Get ready… it’s game week.

The preseason talk is finished, and the time has come.

This Saturday in-state rival Marshall will make the 200mile trip to Morgantown in hopes of earning its first win in the head-to-head series.

Mountaineer Field will be crammed with more than 60,000 people anxiously awaiting the Herd and the premiere of their 11th ranked, 2012 West Virginia football team.

It will be the first time a Big 12 conference logo can be seen on the Mountaineer football jerseys and the first time the program competes in the highly touted conference.

Your nationally ranked team picked a perfect time to jump ship to a more competitive conference, with expectations higher in Morgantown than they’ve been since the 2007 season.

But before we get carried away with ourselves, let’s not forget you – the fans – play a role in living up to Big 12 standards, as well.

That means no more looking up to the student section and spotting thousands of

Silva attempted to score in the 82nd minute, taking a shot from 20 yards out, but was saved by Turner.

Sophomore defender Ali Connelly played well in her first collegiate start.

The Mountaineers finished the game with 19 shots on goal. CMU finished with seven.

empty seats in the third quarter of a close game.

No more announced crowds of 46,000, even if it is a bit cold and rainy on a Saturday afternoon in October.

Why’s that?

It’s simple – the way of life is changing for West Virginia football.

One year ago, an unranked Texas team still drew 100,000 fans to take in the action against a terrible Kansas team.

Yes, I know the atmosphere inside Mountaineer Field last season against No. 2 LSU was one of the most memorable moments in program history.

Fans got there early, stayed late and produced a jubilant experience rivaling that of any stadium in college football.

But it’s the embarrassing turnouts against Bowling Green (46,603) and Norfolk State (51, 911) that need to find their way out of Milan Puskar Stadium, much like the Big East Conference logos that could be seen on each 20yard line a year ago.

Oklahoma drew 85,260 fans in a stadium that only seats 82,112 in a home game against Tulsa in 2011.

See what I’m getting at here?

The Mountaineers have the talent to challenge these prestigious Big 12 foes on the field, but does Mountaineer Nation have the skills to do so in the stands?

I confidently believe you do.

You have proven before you can be as loud and rowdy as 100,000-seat stadiums in the Big 12 and South Eastern Conference.

I don’t expect an LSU-like atmosphere when you welcome an unranked opposing team to town.

However, sellouts should never be difficult to accomplish.

The future looks bright for West Virginia football, but not very often do you get an opportunity to see your Mountaineers ranked just outside the top 10.

Take advantage of what’s in front of you, and show the Big 12 Conference what you’re capable of.

I believe in you. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

A&E Local artists gain national recognition 7

Monday August 27, 2012

alec berry web editor

On Friday, Paste magazine, an online publication, favorably recognized 10 West Virginia bands as part of its national music spotlight feature, “The Paste 50 States Project.”

Four Morgantown acts were listed, pushing a few local talents into a much larger pool.

Sleepwalker, Goodwolf, FOX Japan and Aristotle Jones and the Like Minds were among the West Virginia acts that made the cut.

“We were excited,” said Sleepwalker vocalist Tyler Grady. “Paste is a pretty big magazine; I heard someone the other day describe them as Spin’s younger brother.

It’s always exciting when you can say your band is participating in something on a national level, but there is always this sense of wanting more. It’s kind of like that Dr. Hook song, ‘Cover of the Rolling Stone.”

Along with Sleepwalker, Grady received a second recognition with his solo project Goodwolf.

He describes the experience as “surprising.”

“I couldn’t imagine that Goodwolf would be on that list,” Grady said. “Billy Matheny made the Ohio list with Southeast Engine, and I read that article thinking, ‘who are they going to pick for WV?’ I thought literally nothing of it until I got the email saying Goodwolf was in.”

Grady said he’s happy to be on the list twice, but he would have no problem giving up a second title so other acts could share the excitement.

“I really think that Rozwell Kid should have been

on that list somewhere,” Grady said. “They deserve it.”

Zone 8 Recording producer and recording engineer Mark Poole said the Paste article can only be seen as a good thing, noting better exposure for stategrown talent.

“This is great – a little past due, but great,” Poole said.

“It’s bound to boost sales for the bands plus the general awareness. It’s what we here in the state have known all along – that we have an awesome music scene.”

Poole cannot recall whether or not this is the first time West Virginiabred music has seen such recognition, but he says there is a history of music in the state and it is open to those interested.

“A good place to start would be the West Virginia Music Hall Of Fame,” Poole said. “It might be an eye opener for people, just to see how many influential artists have come from West Virginia.”

A member of the local band Jet Set Vapour Trails as well as a longtime Morgantown resident, Orville Weale is quite certain there has been a lack of attention on both the state’s and Morgantown’s music community.

He suggests the monetary goals of the music industry as a possible reason.

“Our Morgantown music scene is known around the region as having great bands for the size city we are,” Weale said. “But I know we’ve never been nationally recognized. There are probably lots of little college towns with great music scenes everywhere. I just think the music industry could care less about the talent because they can’t make a buck off them.”

Still, Weale says Morgantown is a special place. To

Paste Magazine recognized 10 West Virginia bands as part of its national music spotlight feature, ‘The Paste 50 States Project.’ Sleepwalker (pictured above) was included in the publication’s recognition. him, there is always “an audience open to new music and bands.”

“There’s a core group of people living here who keep the music scene alive and thriving,” Weale said. “The town has an atmosphere conducive to musical creativity – just look at all the open mics.”

Poole agrees and also said the consistent stream of people flooding this college town make it an electric place.

“Well, you’re right about the amount of people that come through here,” Poole said. “There’s also a ton of rabid music fans that live here. I’ve seen so many

shows at 123 Pleasant Street where afterwards the band said it was the best show of their whole tour.”

Comparatively, Poole says Morgantown has always offered talented musicians, but he especially likes what he sees now.

“Take any year – there’s always been quality stuff coming out of the area,” Poole said. “I think right now, though, in particular, there’s a ton of great music in this town. New students should seek it out. It’ll make their stay here really special.”

Weale, to an extent, disagrees, and said Morgantown has seen better years

in terms of the number of bands available.

“It is definitely not nearly as good as it was in the ’90s,” Weale said. “There were many local bands touring around the region then.

In Sunnyside, every other house on Grant Ave. had a band practicing in it. There were so many great bands then.”

Weale said Morgantown “still has all the ingredients for a kick-ass scene,” though. They just need to be realized and developed a little further.

Grady is happy with where things are. Both of his musical projects made Paste’s list, and he is glad

the list spotlights a variety of genres.

“I’m glad we were able to show people outside the state that we don’t all play old-time country and classic rock covers,” Grady said. “The next step is still the same as before the article came out: to keep writing and playing as much as possible.”

The Paste nomination, to Grady, is huge, but it is not a means to and end. For him, it is merely inspirational.

“This seems like a really big thing, but it means nothing if you don’t continue to work.” aberry3@mail.wvu.edu

Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ to visit the CAC

by madeline carey a&e writer

You will find West Virginia University has a lot going on over on its Evansdale campus besides smart kids and a PRT stop.

For example, if you are a fan of Green Day or Broadway musicals, you will see my point proven at the Creative Arts Center.

Green Day’s “American Idiot” may have ended its year-long stint on Broadway, but its first US/UK tour is starting up, and we are lucky Morgantown is one of its 42 stops Sept. 7.

If you are a Green Day fan, you will be happy to know the hit songs from their Grammy awardwinning multi-platinum album are performed throughout the show, including “21 Guns,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and, as expected, “American Idiot.”

If for whatever reason you are a fan of the band but hate musicals, take this into consideration: The show was cool enough for Billie Joe Armstrong himself to star in it for a lim-

ited number of performances while it still graced the Broadway stage.

If it is cool enough for Billie Joe, I’m pretty sure it’s cool enough for you, too.

If you are not quite a fan of Green Day but enjoy a good musical from time to time, you should still consider it.

This critically acclaimed story was directed by Michael Mayer, the Tony Award-winning director of “Spring Awakening.” Adding to its appeal, the Toronto Star went as far as to claim “American Idiot” as “the first great musical of the 21st century.”

No matter the reason, you should definitely consider attending this event.

Though the music selection is pretty self-explanatory, the storyline is based around three young musicians who have to make the decision between risking failure or selling their souls to the prison known best as suburbia.

As if this journey of selfactualization was not hard enough already, the musical is set in a post-Sept.

A scene from the musical, American Idiot, which will visit the WVU Creative Arts Center Sept. 7 11 world, taking the boys to a bigger question, “what does this all mean, and why are we here?”

“The show was awesome. It incorporated many Green Day songs that went along with the plot perfectly,” said Tori Kratz, a sophomore general stud-

ies student who caught the show on Broadway. “The show held the audience’s attention the whole time.

No one wanted to look away.”

In fact, Kratz felt the show was so spectacular she fully intends to catch it again at the CAC when it

comes to town.

“I can’t wait to see it at the CAC with a different cast,” Kratz said. “It will be interesting to see if there are any differences between the actors. It is a show that I would see over and over again and would highly recommend.”

Tickets are $28 dollars for students and range from $44-$60 for the public.

On TV, a quiet exit for first man on the moon NEW YORK (AP) — By the yardstick of history, Neil Armstrong was among the most accomplished men ever to walk on the planet that he looked upon from afar one magical week in July 1969.

Television news didn’t seem to fully recognize the importance of the first human to walk on the moon on the weekend he died.

In the hours after Armstrong’s death was announced, news networks were airing canned programming – jailhouse documentaries, a rerun interview with Rielle Hunter, Mike Huckabee’s weekend show. Menacing satellite pictures of Tropical Storm Isaac had much more air time than Armstrong’s dusty hops on the

lunar surface. Talk of the upcoming GOP national convention sucked up the air.

A trio of factors played in to the lack of attention.

First, Armstrong died in Cincinnati on a Saturday. Not just any Saturday, when news organizations have a skeletal staff, but a late August weekend. Half the country is at the beach. It’s not a stretch to think inexperience on duty might have played a role in NBC News’ embarrassing gaffe: a website headline that read: “Astronaut Neil Young, first man to walk on the moon, dies at age 82.” (NBC called it a staffer error and said the mistake was taken down after seven minutes.)

His death came as some-

what of a surprise, too. Everyone dies, of course, and most news organizations have prepared material on hand to mark the passing of famous people. In many cases, though, there is advance word that someone is very ill, giving the media a chance to prepare and plan.

Armstrong’s determined effort to live a quiet, private life after his astronaut days also left TV at a disadvantage. There was relatively little tape on hand to roll from interviews reminiscing about his experiences, reunions with old astronauts or public appearances. No Armstrong

chats with David Letterman. No appearances in music videos. There was the moon walk, and not much else.

Notable deaths often give viewers the chance to reflect, to put into per-

spective lives of great accomplishment or great notoriety.

Not so with Neil Armstrong. His death was like his life: strangely muted given the magnitude of his achievements.

Music Monday: ‘Official Tailgate Mix 2012’ by hunter homistek associate a&e editor

Football season is right around the corner, my friends.

Your West Virginia University Mountaineers are set to take on Marshall’s Thundering Herd Saturday, so why not start out the year with a bang?

To make your tailgate the talk of the parking lot, you have to have the right mix of music to keep the people moving and coming back for more.

To accomplish this, check out Spotify’s best tailgating mix, “Official Tailgate Mix 2012.”

This playlist has it all.

From Kid Cudi to The Black Keys to my personal favorite, Miley Cyrus, “Official Tailgate Mix 2012” has your taste in music covered.

This eclectic mix of artists and genres is sure to satisfy everyone’s musical palate, and this makes it perfect for opening day at Mountaineer Field.

Giggly, overly excited chick wearing a jersey of her favorite player – “Number 12!”– wants you to crank it up?

“Party in the U.S.A.” all

day.

Beefy, fraternity bro asking for some rock?

“Official Tailgate Mix 2012” has classic selections such as Guns n’ Roses, Heart and Foreigner to cover his needs. Sure, he wasn’t alive when these bands were famous, but he doesn’t know that.

Everybody in the lot gettin’ tipsy?

Actually, there is no Chingy; sorry for the tease.

There is, however, one track apiece from Chamillionaire and Bubba Sparxxx, so sixth grade rap music is still just a mouse click away.

For the country music fan in all of us, “Official Tailgate Mix 2012” has a selection of artists ranging from Zac Brown Band to Dierks Bentley to Eric Church.

It is undeniable modern country music caters to the party burning in all of us, and these tracks act as gasoline to that internal flame.

Eric Church’s “Drink in My Hand” and Zac Brown Band’s “Knee Deep” are both about kicking back, relaxing and enjoying yourself in the company of friends and family.

If that doesn’t describe a WVU tailgate, I’m not sure what does.

Legendary ‘80s group Guns n’ Roses makes several appearances on the list.

While “Official Tailgate Mix 2012” certainly has its bases covered for any genre, I have saved the best for last.

Yes, you’ve probably guessed it, and yes, it is a necessary track to have at a WVU tailgate.

John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” rounds out the list, and if that isn’t reason enough to open up the playlist and crank it up, there is just no pleasing you.

Let Marshall know WVU is the best college in West Virginia by hosting the tailgate of the year, and let “Official Tailgate Mix 2012” lead the way.

The playlist can be found at: http://litlurl.net/cd52.

If you would like to make a suggestion for a future playlist, email Matt Sunday at matt.sunday@mail.wvu. edu or hit us up on Twitter @DailyAthenaeum.

We will select our favorite playlists at random for upcoming installments of Music Monday.

Enjoy the game, party responsibly and turn up the volume on this one – it’s time to bring in the season the Mountaineer way. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Celeb presence will be smaller this year for Dems WASHINGTON (AP) — Four years ago, Ben Affleck was a familiar presence around the Democratic convention, packing produce for charity and even winning a poker tournament. Singer Fergie performed with her Black Eyed Peas. Sheryl Crow sang, too, with Susan Sarandon joining in from the audience.

But none of these celebrities are planning a similar trip to Charlotte this year, and that’s likely true for a number of other A-listers who were in Denver as well.

In terms of star wattage, this gathering will be decidedly less sparkly.

Some reasons are obvious.

A re-election bid is hardly as exciting as the historic anointment of the first black nominee, on his way to becoming the first black president. And Barack Obama is no longer a rising star: He’s, well, an incumbent.

Also different is the general tone of this year’s campaign – not so full of lofty thoughts about hope and change, but focused on evoking doubts about Mitt Romney. Romney is trying to do the same with Obama.

“This is a campaign based on raising questions about the other candidate,” says Democratic consultant Chris Lehane. “It’s a whole different narrative this time.”

There’s also the possibility that some Hollywood celebrities have lost a measure of their enthusiasm for the candidate they warmly embraced four years ago.

The most public of these has been actor Matt Damon, who as recently as last month repeated his disappointment with the president – while adding that he was still the “clear choice.”

At the same time, there’s a sense that the struggling economy, the central preoccupation of most voters, has cast a pall over the celebratory nature of the conventions – and that both campaigns need to be wary of too much partying, with or without celebrities. “Both the Democrats and the Republicans are cognizant of not looking decadent when the rest of the country is hurting,”

says Lehane.

Still, it can’t be denied that parties – and if they involve celebrities, as the best ones do, so much the better – are an essential part of conventions. “They’re a natural part of the process,” says Michael Steele, the former RNC chairman. “I don’t think anyone expects the conventioneers to show up in sackcloth. Parties celebrate the grueling process that has gotten us this far. They celebrate the nominee. And they fire up the troops.”

He adds, though, that he expects the parties to be tasteful – “not in-your-face, not ostentatious.”

The Democrats in particular have made a point of saying that this convention has a different mood. They’re spending significantly less than four years ago, they say, and they point out that they’ve limited corporate and special interest money. They also say their parties will have a more public feel.

“Instead of the exclusive, closed-door, party-insideronly events of the past, we’re opening and closing the convention with public events that will allow more people than ever before to participate,” says Democratic National Convention Committee spokeswoman Joanne Peters.

As for the Republicans, “I don’t see any scaling back,” says James Davis, communications director for the Republican National Convention in Tampa. “We’ve got Republicans coming from across the country, some 70plus venues being booked for events. This is going to be really big for us. I think it shows the excitement of where our party is right now.”

As usual, there will be high-profile entertainment at both conventions. The RNC announced Friday that the Mississippi band 3 Doors Down, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Oak Ridge Boys would be among the official entertainers in Tampa. The Democrats announced that folk icon James Taylor would perform on the final night in Charlotte, before Obama accepts the nomination.

On the sidelines, the

arts advocacy group Creative Coalition will present the band Journey in Tampa – cue the perfect campaign song, “Don’t Stop Believin’” – and the B-52s in Charlotte (cue “Love Shack”?) Given the state of the economy, “I was concerned,” says the coalition’s CEO, Robin Bronk, of the high-profile fundraisers. “But happily we are almost sold out already. This is a celebration of the arts in America.”

And the Recording Industry Association of America is presenting, along with the Auto Alliance of America and others, pop star Gavin DeGraw in Tampa and the rapper Common in Charlotte. Both shows, which will seat some 2,000 people each, benefit the charity Musicians on Call.

“We’re feeling what everyone has been feeling,” says Cara Duckworth, spokeswoman for the RIAA, of the economic concerns. “But this is about celebrating music.

We expect to sell out.”

In a way, the relative lack of high-wattage celebrity guests this year may benefit the Democrats. In 2008, the John McCain campaign tried to use Obama’s considerable celebrity appeal against him, most memorably with an ad likening him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton: i.e. all splash and no substance. Earlier this year, the pro-GOP super PAC American Crossroads put out an ad asking: “After 4 years of a celebrity president is your life any better?”

Obama’s campaign did try to downplay celebrity presence in Denver, keeping it on the sidelines. But still, luminaries of the entertainment world – from Spike Lee to Anne Hathaway to Obama’s biggest booster, Oprah Winfrey – were there in droves.

The AP called representatives of a number of celebrities who were in Denver to ask if they were coming this year. Of those who responded, all said no, except for Jessica Alba: The actress will be headlining a finalnight party with her husband, Cash Warren, featuring performances by Pitbull and Scissor Sisters.
