WVU student honored by Glamour by meghan bonomo staff writer

Katherine Bomkamp, a junior political science student at West Virginia University, was recognized as one of Glamour magazine’s 2013 Top 10 College Women Tuesday for her invention of an innovative prosthetic device.

Bomkamp developed The “Pain-Free Socket” to eliminate phantom pain in amputees.

“The driving force behind my work has always been the people who will hopefully benefit from it someday,” Bomkamp said.

“I am not only motivated by these veterans, but I feel that I (and all Americans) should be leading lives worthy of the sacrifices that are being made for us.”

Her invention stemmed from her 10th grade science project. After interviewing amputees at Wal-

ter Reed Army Medical Center, she developed a device that incorporates thermal-bio feedback into prosthetics by using the same wiring as heated hiking socks.

Phantom pain is a phenomenon that affects about 80 percent of all amputees. It occurs when the brain continues to receive imaginary sensory responses from the amputated limb. Sufferers have reported having sensations

Prescription drug abuse a vicious cycle in W.Va. by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

On the evening of January 9, in a CVS pharmacy in Sabraton, W.Va., a woman walked up to the counter and asked to claim her prescription refill. The pharmacist on duty handed her the prescription: 120 Klonopin – a muscle relaxer. The woman signed for it, writing the name “Erin Grogen.”

The woman, whose actual name is Tina Stalnaker, walked out of the pharmacy, dumped all of the pills in a bag and threw the empty pill bottle toward the dumpsters. She then proceeded to walk home. .

Now, a year later, Stalnaker is facing one to four years in a federal penitentiary for forgery and up to $30,000 in fines. When asked why she committed forgery for the drugs, Stalnaker said she needed them to calm her nerves.

In West Virginia, Stalnaker’s case isn’t uncommon. Prescription drug abuse in the United States has been rising steadily since 1992, and West Virginia leads the nation in prescription drug abuse statistics. The state has 25.8 abusers per 100,000, compared to second-place Ne-

vada, with 19.6, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Why is West Virginia the nation’s capital for prescription drug abuse? Experts disagree on the origins, but one thing is apparent. A storm of addiction, profits and pain keep the “pill culture” alive in the Mountain State. Drugs in high demand can go for hundreds of dollars per bottle, making prescription dealing an attractive profession – especially in lowincome areas that often have higher rates of abuse.

“Any time there’s a lot of money to be made, this will happen to transfer that wealth,” said Shine Tu, associate professor of Law at West Virginia University.

“That’s why we have an illegal drug market, period.”

In an attempt to curb illicit sales, several national and regional legal frameworks are tracking prescription drug sales both nationwide and in West Virginia’s pharmacies.

Steven Toompas, a pharmacist in north central West Virginia, has dealt with prescription drugs for years. He regularly serves customers who take painkillers for chronic pain.

WVU Fair Trade 2.0 hosts event to support coffee farms

By Shelby Toompas Staff writer

Have you ever sipped on your cup of coffee and wondered who handpicked the coffee beans or where it all started?

West Virginia University’s Fair Trade 2.0 works in solidarity with farmers and workers in Central America to diversify sources of income and improve access to nutritious food.

Fair Trade 2.0 achieves its mission primarily though its unique “Firsthand Coffee” initiative and other fundraising and outreach activities.

Geography student and Fair Trade 2.0 President Tyler Hulding said the student organization, started in 2009, works to fund cooperative development projects in Central America.

“We work with a partner cooperative called La Hermandad, which means ‘the brotherhood,’” she said.

“They are a cooperative that we are in touch with be-

cause of our faculty adviser, Dr. Wilson, and his research on the coffee industry in Nicaragua and Central America, more generally.”

The organization roasts both its Bright and Dark Roast locally in Washington, Pa., through 19 Coffee Company.

“We sell the coffee both on campus and at the Mountain People’s Co-op and use 100 percent of the proceeds to fund economic diversification projects at La Hermandad,” Hulding said.

“The Co-op” has been providing Morgantown residents with a range of natural, organic, fair trade and local products that can’t be found at big chain stores since 1977, and now by selling WVU Fair trade’s FirstHand Coffee, the organization is able to reach a larger customer base, improve interest in events, and increase the funds directed to La Hermandad.

of touch, tingling or pain.

Bomkamp, the daughter of a veteran U.S. Air Force officer, witnessed the pain amputees endure, which is why her device is dedicated to easing it.

“I think it’s incredibly easy for us to forget the sacrifices being made for us, but I saw firsthand what our wounded soldiers were going through and the obstacles they had to overcome,” Bomkamp said.

“She lied about her whereabouts, she stole a gun from Betty’s purse, and she had motive to kill Louie.”

SportsConnect offers combine for job seekers

A career in sports is one pursued by countless individuals.

More universities are implementing sports-related degree options, making finding a job in sport as competitive as ever before.

This week, though, SportsConnect – a sport business combine – will display its second-annual event at Lakeview Golf Resort & Spa. The event allows students the opportunity to register and guarantee themselves five to seven interviews with all different types of sport

organizations.

“I thought I had this great idea that would help this University,” said Dale Weaver, CEO of SportsWeave. “How could I do something that would help the students here cut through some of the chaff that you have to go through to find jobs in sports and find these students jobs?

This sparked the idea of the sports business combine.”

SportsConnect will begin Wednesday and run through Friday.

The event is similar to an athletic combine, where students provide their resume and bio credentials rather than their height,

And, rather than attempting to attract the attention of scouts for a professional team, they are trying to appeal to organizations searching for employees.

zation representatives that will be there. Last year, I believe every attendee had at least five interviews.”

Organizations such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Indians will be attending the event, all of which will be aggressively searching for candidates to fill full-time position openings.

Interested students can visit sportsweave.com/combines/2013/SportsConnect.html to register. The $100 may seem a bit steep to students, but Branch and said it is well worth the investment.

“If you were to compare what it would cost to go to this event to obtain six or seven interviews to having to drive to six or seven interviews individually, there is no question, this is the best deal by far,” Branch said.

Continued from page1 “You can see (chronic pain) in people’s faces – in their eyes,” he said. “It’s like every ounce of their will is trying to fight that feeling.”

Toompas has distributed pain medication for everything from broken backs to terminal cancer.

“Just think. Somebody has pain like that every day of their life,” he said. “We need to have pain medication.”

But prescribing long-term doses of painkillers can be a catch-22. The longer an individual takes a drug, the more tolerant they become.

This leads them to take more medication, and eventually, the line between user and addict can blur.

“It’s very possible you can become addicted,” Toompas said.

Patients addicted to narcotics will sometimes go “doctor shopping” to get more medication. By visiting two separate doctors for prescriptions, patients try to get multiple prescription slips and fill them at different pharmacies. Frequently, the extra pills are sold on the

“I think it’s important as college students that we do what we can to give back to those who might not have as many opportunities as we do and to be more conscious about the choices we make within our consumer society,” she said.

Senior political science student and musician Patrick Blood said he has played at the Co-op for Fair Trade 2.0 twice now and has enjoyed entertaining guests with his music and learning more about the organization.

“Even though I’m not involved with Fair Trade 2.0 on

campus and am somewhat behind the scenes when I’m here playing my music, I’ve been able to not only meet students involved with the organization and share similar interests about fair trade, but I have been able to taste the coffee, as well,” Blood said.

“I think what this organization is doing with their coffee is a great way to start raising awareness and gain support from the campus and the community, as well.”

Fair Trade 2.0 plans to continue their First Hand Cafe Fridays each Friday at

10 a.m. on the third floor of Brooks Hall.

“Ideally, in the future, we would like to expand, to be able to finance and fund more cooperatives, but that means we need to increase coffee sales,” Hulding said.

“Right now, we have reached the max as to what we can do individually, and that’s why we are really interested in potentially having our coffee sold at different places around campus.”

street for high prices.

“Every day, pharmacies across the state are dealing with these people,” Toompas said. To combat this problem, the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy started the Controlled Substance Monitoring Program in December of 2002.

Anyone who buys a narcotic in the state is loaded into a database, and pharmacists can search the database to check if individuals are getting double prescriptions.

But there’s a problem with the system, Toompas said.

“Nobody catches that until you go look at it,” he said.

“There are people on there who have been getting doubles for months, and nobody questions it.”

He said due to lack of time and dedicated staff, the system loses efficiency.

“You can’t look up everybody up every time, or you won’t get anything done,” he said. “You’ll be out of business.”

Additionally, the program, doesn’t record individuals from out of state who purchase drugs in their home state. Toompas recalled one regular customer who would

bring prescription slips from Pennsylvania for Xanax, a common painkiller. After Toompas confronted him, the customer came clean.

“He said there was a doctor in Pennsylvania. All you had you do was hand him $300, and he’d write you whatever you wanted,” he said. “That’s bizarre.”

“Is that called desperation, or should we call it opportunity?”

Police around the state have been vigilant in pursuing narcotics dealers. Still, as drug-related arrests become more common, abuse continues to rise, leading many to question the effectiveness of reactive law enforcement.

“West Virginia has actually been very progressive in dealing with these problems,” Tu said.

Across the state, juvenile drug courts are adopting alternative forms of justice that don’t show up on permanent records.

“The idea is we want to solve the problem early on but not make it so it affects the person’s ability to get an education and job later on,” Tu said. “That really hurts them in the long term.”

West Virginia politicians

have begun responding to the epidemic. Senator Jay Rockefeller began pushing for two pieces of legislation in March: the Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and The Excellence in Mental Health Act, which are designed to combat prescription drug abuse.

These bills focus on outreach, database monitoring and widening treatment options for current addicts.

Both have been introduced to Congress but are in the introductory stages.

In 2011, 33-year-old David Laffer walked into a pharmacy in Medford, N.Y., around 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning. He revealed a pistol, and after taking a backpack full of painkillers, he shot and killed four victims at close range. One was 17-year-old clerk Jennifer Mejia.

Laffer had previously filled prescriptions for hydrocodone at the same pharmacy.

“When I go to schools and talk to kids about drugs, I tell them. Don’t start down that road,” Toompas said. “It’s too hard to turn around.”

‘Adventure Time: Hey Ice King!’ fails to heat things up

glogster.com

‘Adventure Time’ characters Finn and Jake explore the land of Ooo in the new game.

Jamie Carbone A&E WRITER

“Adventure Time” is one of the most bizarre franchises in existence.

A post-apocalyptic future with semi-dark themes, magic and bizarre math references combines into an inexplicably popular kids’ show, so it makes sense to try that same formula in a video game.

The end result is the handheld exclusive “Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our

Garbage?!”

Players take on the role of Finn, the human boy, and Jake, his shape-shifting dog/brother, as they discover their nemesis and beard aficionado, the Ice King, has stolen all of their garbage, which is bad for reasons that aren’t even remotely clear.

So now Finn and Jake must explore the land of Ooo and recover their lost refuse, fighting bizarre monsters and encountering strange friends along the way.

The gameplay is fairly unique, with Finn and

Jake traveling between levels with a Final Fantasystyle overworld, but random monster battles and the levels themselves feature side-scrolling hackand-slash, where Finn can use fists, a sword or Jake’s shape-changing abilities to deliver the smackdown.

The game’s sprite-style graphics make it feel very old school, a popular trend as of late and one I hope doesn’t go away any time soon.

It also seems to feature many video game cliches in order to poke fun at them, something the

show does with its own animated genre.

The boss fights are definitely unique, though, such as a bear attached to a chain saw or 100 cloned penguins. The game may be worth playing for those reasons alone.

Jake’s shape-shifting, while definitely more controlled (because it can’t have the insane potential it has in the cartoon) always goes out of its way to solve puzzles in interesting fashions instead of being overwhelmingly generic, which is appreciated.

This is a short game –

easily beaten in an afternoon if you have the time.

If only the game was as long as its title.

If it was released as a downloadable title, that wouldn’t be an issue, but at the full price of $30, you will definitely feel you’ve been ripped off.

There is also an abundance of strange items and, outside of healing tools, most of them are likely to go unused. While they’re a nice wink to series fans, they really serve no point for a skilled gamer.

At the end of the day, “Hey Ice King!” is a treat to

any fans of the series and features a lot of Easter eggs for video game lovers, but it definitely isn’t a solid exposure to those new to the series.

You’re better off saving $10 and buying the first season on DVD, but if you’re looking for something to occupy your DS or 3DS, you could do worse than “Adventure Time’s” first playable showing.

Hopefully, they’ll improve it the second time.

Rolling Stones add two stops to tour NEW YORK (AP) — If you’re upset that the Rolling Stones won’t be coming to your city on their upcoming tour, don’t be too stressed – the rockers say more shows may be added.

“Normally when you announce a tour like this, you announce part of it, you leave it to be, you see what happens, you might do a date here and another date there.

You don’t want to be completely hand fast, so you do leave some dates in between,” Mick Jagger said in an interview Thursday. “So we’ll see what happens.”

The Stones announced this week that they’ll kick off their “50 and Counting” tour in Los Angeles; the date will be announced later. The second show is in Oakland, Calif., May 5. They’ll also visit Las Vegas, Toronto, Chicago and Boston, and wrap in Philadelphia June 18.

Friday, the band said second shows have been added in Toronto and Chicago.

The announcement came months after the foursome performed a sold-out, five-

city stint in New York, New Jersey and London.

“We just said, `Let’s do these five shows before Christmas and see how it goes and see if we enjoy it, see if the audience seems to have a good time, and if that works, then we’ll try to see if we’ll do more,’” he said. “We still wanted to keep it kind of limited. We didn’t want to have that yawning (tour) of hundreds of shows lined up for the next 18 months. I just thought it would be good if we booked a small tour, and then, you know, if we want to do more, we’ll do more.”

The Stones have at least three days in between tour stops, a sign that more shows may be added. Or the time could be used for rest.

“I think it’s a little bit of both,” Keith Richards said in a separate interview Thursday. “The band wants to pace themselves, but at the same time. I guess what’s been announced is the bare-bones and we will play it by ear.”

The Stones’ last global tour kicked off in 2005 and wrapped in 2007. Jagger, 69,

said he’s getting older – and performing can be tough.

“I just have to train a lot and keep really fit. I want to do these moves, but I can’t do them because if I did, I’d probably screw up,” he said, laughing. “You just got to do what’s within your capabilities.”

The Stones’ recent tour featured special guests such as Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga, and there could be more surprises onstage.

“I have a feeling there’s more openness about playing it the same way,” Richards said. “I can’t name names or make promises, but that area of the show is open.”

The veteran band, which also includes Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, will headline the Glastonbury Festival June 29. Former bandmate Mick Taylor will be a special guest throughout the tour.

“I realized how much, not just (how I) myself have missed it, but I could tell from the other guys. They don’t say so, but I can tell,” Richards said of performing together.

“It’s what we’re good at.”

Oversight of University necessary

The West Virginia state senate unanimously passed a bill that aims to weaken oversight of West Virginia University and Marshall University last week.

If it becomes law, SB 444 will increase the amount of money WVU and Marshall can invest into their respective foundations. More troubling, the bill would also allow the two universities to bypass the approval of the Higher Education Pol-

icy Commission on several important issues, including capital projects and compensation for the executive positions at the universities.

As reported by the Charleston Gazette’s Mackenzie Mays, the HEPC is already struggling to deal with a substantial budget cut, so further limiting its authority will severely impede its ability to carry out its duties.

The commission’s stated objective is to “ensure higher education

institutions are accomplishing their missions and implementing the provisions set by state statute.”

Considering the fact these are public universities, and much of their funding comes from tax dollars, it makes perfect sense for the state to have regulatory authority over these institutions to ensure they are fulfilling their duties and guard against any mismanagement of state funds. Members of

the Higher Education Policy Commission have voiced their opposition to this bill and we feel that their concerns regarding this bill are valid.

Why wouldn’t we want an objective third party making sure the universities we are investing so much of our money into are spending it wisely? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

More than a critic

1942-2013 gawker

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert passed away over the weekend at the age of 70.

micah conkling columnist

A few days before his death last Thursday at the age of 70, Roger Ebert reviewed “The Host,” a film based on a story written by “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer. Roughly put, the plot is about aliens invading human souls.

Ebert gave the movie two and a half stars out of four, one and a half more stars than he gave the Nicholas Sparks-created “Safe Haven,” but well short of the four he gave to “Argo,” “Lincoln,” and 1967’s “Bonnie and Clyde.”

At the time of his passing, Roger Ebert had been professionally reviewing movies

for more than 45 years.

Roger Ebert was a film critic, but that doesn’t begin to describe him. If you think about it, the label “critic” is a rather negative term.

I think about the famous Theodore Roosevelt adage that gets recited – you know – “It’s not the critic who counts, … [but] the man actually in the arena.” Ebert was a critic who counted. He didn’t merely brand films with stars; he participated in the movies.

As President Obama wrote in a statement shortly after the news of his fellow Chicagoan’s death, “Roger was the movies.”

As I was processing Roger Ebert’s death, I read his review of “The Host.” Based on what I know of Ebert’s style

and personal taste, I don’t think he enjoyed “The Host” at all. While his review reads that the director, Andrew Niccols’, “ground rules limit the depth and variety of possible relationships” and that “the structure robs it of possibilities for dramatic tension,” (which all but means Ebert thought the movie was a flop) he gave the film his time, consideration and effort.

That was who Roger Ebert was and what he was about and who he will be remembered as: a man who gave respect and attention to every film he viewed, no matter his preconceived notions or personal taste. His job was that of a film critic, but he took his position much more seriously. The movies were his

calling.

Roger Ebert was a cultural curator, a position not many have the integrity, talent or work ethic to hold in America today. He recognized long ago the movies were a significant and possibly necessary art form, and he made himself a steward of cinema.

He bestowed upon himself the important responsibility of categorizing, critiquing and offering us as viewers and participants the movies.

Because of that heartfelt, to-the-bone belief, Ebert threw himself into the movies and his work. In a blog written just days before his death, Ebert said this past year, he wrote over 300 movie reviews – the most of his career. Despite the can-

cer he suffered for the past six years, he stayed true to his work and finished his career and life strong and with passionate conviction.

Instead of providing another loud, clamoring voice in the chaotic conversation that is the norm in American discourse, Ebert made his ideas and thoughts resound by doing his work consistently and doing his work well.

Even after he lost the ability to eat and speak after complications from surgery, Ebert kept his voice, using a computer system to communicate, and he kept watching, absorbing and keeping our culture.

We would be doing the man a disservice and would

be tarnishing his legacy to merely dismiss his dying as the passing of the film critic who made “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” a popular method for evaluating movies.

Roger Ebert’s absence is more than just the death of another celebrity, and his life and words will resonate as more than simply another face that will be set to sad music at next year’s Oscars in the “Hey, look who died this year” slideshow.

Ebert is an icon and example, and his death should inspire us to not simply appreciate movies, but to analyze and engage how we live our lives and take in and share art with a renewed criticism, effort, urgency and joy.

Chris Hedges takes stands against anti-human rights groups nathan goodman guest columnist

Recently, best-selling author Chris Hedges announced his resignation from PEN, a prominent international writers’ organization. That resignation was partially motivated by the fact that while PENpurports to speak on behalf of dissidents, it’s been completely silent regarding the US government’s imprisonment, torture, and abuse of military whistleblower Bradley Manning.

Hedges’ resignation was also in response to PEN’s appointment offormer US State Department official and Amnesty International USA director Suzanne Nossel as its executive director.

As Hedges explains, Nossel “had been one of the most

DA

fervent cheerleaders for the Iraq War, indeed had written in support of the war in Foreign Affairs, had embraced the administration’s policy, whether that’s drone attacks, the assassination of U.S. citizens, the curtailment of civil liberties, had not spoken out against torture.” Nossel is also often credited with coining the imperialist Newspeak phrase “smart power.”

At Amnesty, she spearheaded a campaign glorifying the US/NATO occupation of Afghanistan, urging NATO to “keep the progress going” for Afghan women and girls.

She evidently cared little for the human rights of innocents murdered by NATO’s night raids in Afghanistan, or for the opinions of women’s rights activists who actually live in Afghanistan. The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, far

from seeing the war as “progress” for women, sees it as aggression that exacerbates violence against women.

PEN and Amnesty aren’t the only human rights groups complicit in state aggression.

“Mainstream” LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights groups have a sordid history of supporting war, empire and incarceration. Dean Spade documents many instances of LGBT rights being used as propaganda cover for state violence and repression, a phenomenon known as “pinkwashing.”

Spade writes, “The term ‘pinkwashing’ is most frequently used to describe the explicit strategy Israel has undertaken in recent years to market itself as a human rights leader based on its stances on same-sex marriage and LGBT military service,” even as it institutes

policies of apartheid, burns civilians to death with white phosphorus, steals land, imposes dire poverty through its Gaza blockade, and perpetrates a litany of other human rights abuses. But with a bit of “pinkwash,” the Israeli state re-brands itself as a beacon of freedom.

While largely associated with the Israeli state, pinkwashing has also been deployed in support of state aggression by the US, with the full complicity of mainstream LGBT rights groups. The Human Rights Campaign(HRC) celebrated passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which added sexual orientation and gender identity to federal hate crimes laws. But this law was not passed on its own. Instead, it was an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2008 De-

partment of Defense Authorization. As Spade explains, “The bill set aside the highest amount of money ever provided to the Department of Defense in U.S. history. The increase in funding to the Department was made to cover the expense of Obama’s 100,000-person troop surge in Afghanistan.”HRC celebrated the financing of violence abroad to prevent homophobic and transphobic violence at home. But there’s little evidence that hate crimes laws actually prevent violence, and lots of evidence that they strengthen America’s violent police and prison systems, which disproportionately harm members of the LGBT community.

More radical LGBT groups like the Sylvia Rivera Law Project reject hate crimes laws. But for groups like HRC, expanding the prison-indus-

trial complex is just fine, and not just in the name of stopping hate crimes. HRC gives “private prison” and immigration detention center investor Wells Fargo top marks on its “Corporate Equality Index.” It presented an Equality Award to Jane Marquardt, Vice Chair of the Management and Training Corporation, the third largest operator of for-profit prisons in the country.

Human rights organizations shouldn’t be in the business of handing out awards, accolades and executive positions to human rights abusers.

Kudos to Chris Hedges for dissociating himself from such behaviors.

Resistance to war, occupation and mass incarceration includes opposing organizations that falsely claim to fight for human rights.

Scooby-Doo comes to life at the CAC

BY LACEY PALMER ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Scooby dances to music Saturday afternoon in the Creative Arts Center.

Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang came to life Saturday at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center as the Scooby-Doo Live! Musical Mysteries series came to Morgantown.

Children and adults alike filled the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in shows at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to sing along and help Scooby and the Gang solve their latest mystery.

The 5 p.m. show was added after the first two shows had sold out. Although the 5 p.m. was not sold out, the theater was packed.

As the show began, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma took to the stage to sing the classic Scooby-Doo theme song, “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” When it was Scooby’s turn to join in the song, the spotlight traveled to the far side of the

theater where Scooby was in the audience.

Once Scooby made it to the stage, the crew was presented with their latest mystery – the ghost in the theater who scares all of the performers away.

The cast used the Clay Theatre in Morgantown as the theater in the story, which was a great way to make the performance feel close to home.

The musical doesn’t veer far from the typical ScoobyDoo plot, as the gang is called in to help solve a mystery at a local theater.

The gang disguises themselves as “Missing Link,” a band that will play at the theater to get inside and solve the mystery.

With moving, colorful backdrops, the stage transformed into an old theater – including the dressing rooms, where most of the ghost’s mischief takes place. The ghost scares all of the new performers away, and the gang is determined

to find out who it might be.

After Scooby and Shaggy have their Scooby snacks stolen by the ghost, havoc ensues in the theater as the gang attempts to play the role of “Missing Link” while also solving the mystery.

The characters truly brought the performance to life. Daphne, in particular, did an outstanding job in her peppy role, and Velma, played by Michele Dumoulin, played her witty, creative role just as well.

Daphne’s unrequited love for Fred adds an emotional aspect to the show that melts the hearts of many of the females in the audience.

With the song “You’re Always There,” Daphne sings to Fred as Fred sings to the Mystery Machine that gets the gang everywhere.

The show also relies heavily on audience participation. Shaggy and Scooby ask the audience to yell “Ghost!” any time the ghost appears on stage, and many questions are asked to the

audience during the show.

It’s obvious this is an aspect the children enjoyed, as the theater erupted with noise any time the ghost appeared.

In classic Scooby style, the villain was someone we had met previously in the show – the stagehand, a brother of the theater owner.

Together, the brothers had plotted to scare away any new performers in hopes of performing again. The gang caught the villain in a trap after their final rehearsal.

Although the plot was a tad intricate for young minds, this didn’t seem to disappoint any of the children dancing around the theater at the end of the show as the lyrics of “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” were projected onstage. With Scooby stuffed animals and T-shirts in hand, the children and adults alike were all smiles as they left the theater. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Cupcake and The Professor bring sweet soul to 123

JAMES YARIA/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Ezra ‘Cupcake’ Jones sits with the hundreds of mini cupcakes the duo made for the crowd.

BY JAMES YARIA A&E WRITER

Cupcake and the Professor mixed soul with sweets Thursday night during their “Best Damn Cupcake Party” performance at 123 Pleasant Street.

Though the venue was lacking in terms of patrons, the local experimental duo of Ezra “Cupcake” Jones and Ryan “The Professor” Dunkerley brought hundreds of homemade mini cupcakes along for their dedicated fans to enjoy.

Jones and his mother,

“Mama Cupcake,” baked various delicious bite-sized pastries, including certain fruit varieties filled with jelly. The liquid centers provided a tasty surprise to the frosted finger foods.

“It adds flavor to the show,” Jones said. “It adds flavor to us, to our flavor of what we do, and it makes things just sweeter.”

While baking cupcakes for the audience may sound odd, Jones and Dunkerley seem to have found solace in abnormality. From their sound to their personas, Cupcake and the Professor

exude and embody Morgantown’s unique atmosphere.

“We were christened ‘Cupcake and the Professor’ on Halloween during a house party,” Dunkerley said.

“I dressed up like a cupcake, and he had a lab coat on,” Jones said. “The name just stuck after that.”

After meeting during an open mic night at 123, Jones and Dunkerley began collaborating for house parties and are now attempting to graduate amateur hour in search of more prominent local recognition. They’ve

played at many local events, ranging from bars to jazz festivals.

Performing together for more than a year and a half, Jones provides the soulful melodies while Dunkerley adds live loops through beat boxing and bass guitar. The sound is eclectic and original, which made the show deserving of a much larger crowd.

Opening the “Best Damn Cupcake Party” was Goodwolf, a local favorite who stripped down to a traditional two-man jam band, and Noise Virus, who cre-

ated an experimental soundtrack to video. 123’s already scarce attendance seemed to dash for a bar seat during Noise Virus, which came off like loud background music put to a screen saver.

By the time Cupcake and the Professor took the stage, the clock was well past midnight, and the audience sunk to only a handful. Never discouraged, Dunkerley feverishly compiled loops, the fluidity of which was surprisingly crisp.

Smooth as the jelly-

filled cupcakes provided, Jones’ voice filled 123’s almost-empty main hall with a soft, silky chorus. The impromptu lyrics were unrefined, but Jones’s charisma shouldered the raw riffs with a smile.

While they may not have graduated from open mic to their own solid act just yet, the developing duo certainly shows promise, and as long as the cupcakes accompany their unique sound, the experience will always remain sweet. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

STREAK SNAPPED

Members of the West Virginia baseball team celebrate a run scored against Texas Tech in Charleston, W.Va., last month.

West Virginia loses two of three at Baylor, win streak snapped at eight by connor murray sports writer

The WVU baseball team started the weekend with a victory but faltered Saturday and Sunday, dropping two of three games in a Big 12 Conference series with the Baylor Bears.

Riding a seven-game winning streak, the Mountaineers came into the series opener Friday night firing on all cylinders.

Sophomore Harrison Musgrave shut down the Baylor offense early, keeping the Bears off of the scoreboard through the first four innings.

The Mountaineer of-

fense woke up in the top of the fifth, scoring six runs on seven hits. Sophomore Bobby Boyd tripled two runs home and later scored, contributing to the offensive firepower in the inning.

Musgrave pitched well for the team, going six innings while only giving up two runs on four hits.

The problems started for WVU when Musgrave exited and Dan Dierdorrf came on to pitch in the seventh. The senior was only able to record one out while giving up three runs, and Baylor was able to tie the game 6-6.

Junior Ryan McBroom hit a sacrifice fly to left field in the top of the ninth inning,

WVU rallies from 2-0 deficit to beat Navy

scoring Brady Wilson and giving the Mountaineers a 9-7 lead. McBroom’s RBI proved a game winner for WVU, as the team extended its win streak to eight games with a 9-8 victory.

Saturday was a different story for the Mountaineers as Baylor pitcher Max Garner pitched six shutout innings, scattering WVU hits.

Baylor reliever Crayton Bare came on the final three innings, stifling the Mountaineer offense and preserving an 8-0 victory for the Bears.

Junior Corey Walter took the loss for WVU, working 4.1 innings while giving up four runs on eight hits.

With the winning streak stopped at eight games, the Mountaineers struggled in the rubber game Sunday afternoon as they once again failed to find the offense that aided them on their streak.

Pitcher John Means gave up nine runs in 1.1 innings pitched and had perhaps the most difficult outing of the season, as the Mountaineers never recovered after falling behind 6-0 in the second inning, dropping the series finale 11-1 to the Bears.

Senior Nathan Orf continued what has been a spectacular season, going 4-5 on the day with two RBI.

The lone bright spot on the day for WVU came when McBroom hit his seventh home run of the season in the top of the fourth inning.

The Fredericksburg, Va., native has been coming into his own recently, going 5-11 on the series with 3 RBI. With Sunday’s loss, the Mountaineers record drops to 17-15 on the season with a 4-5 mark in the Big 12.

The Mountaineers will be back in action Tuesday as they travel to Ohio State to face the Buckeyes. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Beilein’s story about more than basketball He started from the bottom, and now he’s here.

John Beilein just did the impossible, and it’s been a long time coming.

I’m not talking about reaching the national championship game – something Beilein’s Michigan Wolverines rightfully earned the chance to play for behind a skilled roster that has played tremendously all season.

I’m talking about getting the West Virginia fan base to root, unabashedly, for a Michigan team.

It seems crazy, and in some ways, it is. However, the 60-year-old head coach is a sterling example of doing things the right way – something that can’t be said of every departing coach who left for Ann Arbor.

I’m looking at you, Rich Rod. This whole story is awesome for the best reasons. If you are a West Virginia fan and you’re not pulling for Michigan in tonight’s national championship game, you should reconsider.

Beilein is a lifer in the profession of coaching college basketball. His first head-coaching gig was in 1978 at Erie Community College. He worked his way up through the junior college, NAIA, Division III, Division II and Division I ranks for more than three decades.

He’s not flashy, and he doesn’t have the slick-talking, sharp-suited persona that seems to dominate the game today.

He didn’t wake up one day and find himself the head coach of a major Division I program. He worked his way up the old fashioned way – with bus rides on back roads to tiny gymnasiums in conferences you’ve probably never heard of (like the Northeast-10 and the Empire 8).

Even today, with the dearth of resources and manpower at Michigan, he still cuts his own game film.

From 2002-07, Beilein

The West Virginia men’s soccer team huddles before a match last season.

by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team battled back after trailing 2-0 to defeat the Navy Midshipmen 3-2 in its second spring game of the season.

At one point, the Mountaineers were down by two goals to Navy, but they were able to fight back and earn their first victory of the spring season. Two of the three goals came from sophomores Ryan Cain and Haydon Bennett.

Five freshmen and four sophomores started for WVU Saturday. While results may come as secondary at this point in the season, the main goal for head coach Marlon LeBlanc was to continue to improve and get better.

“Results are very much secondary; the results come with how hard we work and how well we we’ve prepared,” he said. “For the players, it’s an opportunity for them to play. For us as

coaching staff, it’s given us a good look at some of the guys that we’re just trying to make some improvements on.

“From a results perspective, obviously we’re pleased, but our goal is to get better, and that’s the most important.”

LeBlanc honored redshirt junior Zack Claudio as the captain for the game against Navy. Other starters included juniors Lee Johnston, Paul Ehrenworth, Andy Bevin and Nick Breitsamater, senior Craig Stephens and sophomores Francio Henry, Nick Raskasky, Majed Osman and Jamie Merriam.

“It’s a very young group, but we’re very pleased with the work ethic and the character of them,” LeBlanc said.

“It’s a group that’s growing, and I think it’s a very, very talented, young group. We were pleased to come back from a 2-0 deficit. Part of them being a young group

The West Virginia women’s soccer team took the field for the first time Sunday since winning the Big 12 in its inaugural year and accepting an invitation to its 13th consecutive NCAA tournament last fall.

The Mountaineers beat Duquesne 3-0.

“We just want to see where we’re making the right decisions, where we are collectively and where we need to keep going,” said West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

“Obviously, we have not been outside enough or trained in this type of environment, so it’s a great opportunity for us to get better.”

After leading the Mountaineers with 11 goals last season, junior Frances Silva picked up right

where she left off, scoring two early goals against the Dukes. Silva’s first goal of the afternoon came 18 minutes into the game after she beat a defender inside the box before ripping a shot past the keeper.

Her second came seven minutes later after beating the keeper while on a breakaway.

“It’s all been about finishing your chances,” Silva said. “Even though I did score a lot of goals last season, I still could have had four or five more on top of that.”

Silva’s confidence against Duquesne came after she missed an early shot.

“The left-footed miss that went over (the goal) was what got me going,” Silva said. “I was like, ‘Oh, that was a good shot,

Louisville will play Michigan for NCAA title ATLANTA (AP) — Start studying, Louisville.

Michigan spoiled what would have been one heck of a going-away party for the Big East on Saturday night, beating Syracuse 61-56 to earn a spot in Monday night’s championship game against top-seeded Louisville. Now the Cardinals have less than 48 hours to get ready for a team they haven’t played since 1978.

“We don’t have to prepare too much if we play Syracuse,” Pitino, trying to become the first coach to win national titles at two different schools, said after Louisville rallied for a 72-68 victory over ninth-seeded Wichita State.

“We’ve got a lot of preparation if we play Michigan.”

Louisville (34-5), which has won 15 straight, is an early 4½-point favorite over Michigan (31-7).

This is Louisville’s first appearance in the championship game since 1986, when it won its second title. The Wolverines are back in the title game for the first time since 1993, when Chris Webber and Co. lost to North Carolina. Who did Michigan beat to reach that title game?

None other than Kentucky, coached by Pitino at the time.

“It’s going to be a great matchup,” said Mitch McGary, who had 10 points and 12 rebounds for Michigan.

Louisville got its first real scare of the tournament from ninth-seeded Wichita State, falling behind by 12 in the second half. Nothing was clicking for the Cardinals on offense, they were getting in foul trouble and Kevin Ware, who can normally be counted on to give Louisville a lift off the bench, had been reduced to spectator, his broken right leg sustained in last week’s win over Duke propped up on the seat next to him.

But the Cardinals can grind it out, too, a fact that was all but forgotten as they steamrolled through their first four games of the NCAA tournament. Louisville had come back to win five games already this year after trailing by nine points or more, including the title game at the Big East tournament, and the Cardinals knew they had another run in them.

Sure enough, Luke Hancock knocked down one shot after another, walk-on Tim Henderson made back-to-back 3s and the Cardinals forced seven turnovers in the final seven minutes during a 3013 run.

Wichita State would give Louisville one last scare, pulling within 68-66 on Cleanthony Early’s tip in with 22 seconds left. But the Shockers were forced to foul, and the Smith and Hancock made theirs to seal the game.

“I never think we’re going to lose,” Pitino said. “That doesn’t mean we’re going to win. We have lost. But that’s the attitude: Pressing teams have to stay in there. We were

For the past two seasons, Silva has joined sophomore Kate Schwindel at the top of the Mountaineers’ attack. Freshman Kelsie Maloney joined Silva and Schwindel last season, and Izzo-Brown expects the upperclassmen, particularly Silva and Scwindel, to help the freshmen during the spring.

Louisville’s Kevin Ware waves after the second half of the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball semifinal game against Wichita State Saturday, April 6, 2013, in Atlanta. fouling too much. Then we started making some steals, picking up the heat. Then, of course, the guys were brilliant.”

It didn’t hurt that Malcolm Armstead, who earned Most Outstanding Player honors in the West Regional after averaging 15.5 points in the first four games, was ice cold, finishing with 2 points on 1-of10 shooting. The Cardinals won’t be able to count on that against Michigan.

Though AP Player of the Year Trey Burke had only 7 points on 1-of-8 shooting, Tim Hardaway Jr. led three Wolverines in double figures with 13 points.

“We know Trey is our leader,” Hardaway said. “He’s not going to have a game like he’s been (having) the whole season. That’s when our team steps up and just tries to pick him up.”

Much was made of Syracuse’s suffocating 2-3 zone, which had made more than one tournament team look inept. But the Wolverines rendered it ineffective early on by making shots from long range, including four 3s in the first half. They got sloppy down the stretch, allowing Syracuse to all but erase Michigan’s 8-point lead with 3:54 left.

Trailing 58-56, the Orange had a chance to force overtime. But Brandon Triche was called for a foul when Jordan Morgan stepped in to take the charge with 19.2 seconds left. After Jon Horford made only one of two free throws, Syracuse called timeout and set up a play. But instead of going for a 3-pointer, Trevor Cooney drove the lane.

The ball was swatted away, Michigan snatched up the rebound and Morgan scored on

a thunderous dunk with just over a second remaining.

“It was a close game throughout the whole game,” Burke said. “I just kept telling the guys, coming out of halftime, ‘Syracuse is a really talented team, and they’re going to go on runs.’ This is a game of runs.

“A lot of people would crack under pressure when you’re in that type of situation.”

Now Michigan will face a different kind of pressure against Louisville – the Cardinals’ stingy press.

“Louisville is going to be a difficult game,” Michigan coach John Beilein said.

“We’ve played against Rick’s teams and Kentucky one time, when I was at Canisius, and at West Virginia a few times. He’s a great coach with great schemes and it’s going to be very difficult.”

new levels, and then left for a job at a bigger program.

It’s painful for Mountaineer fans to admit, but it’s certainly true.

Though the initial sting of Beilein’s departure from Morgantown may have hurt, you definitely couldn’t have blamed the guy.

Unlike his gridiron counterpart, who left West Virginia on the doorstep of a national championship without any warning, Beilein properly accepted a promotion he deserved.

He wasn’t a West Virginia native, and he didn’t

take his time for granted at WVU. His career simply progressed, and he took a job that, six years later, would have him playing for his first national title.

In his final press conference at West Virginia, Beilein summed up this notion.

“Sometimes, good things come to an end,” he said.

“It’s time for me to do new things at a new university.”

It was a move that paid off.

“I wouldn’t go there if I didn’t think they could win a national championship.”

It’s not so much that you’re rooting for Michigan, but instead, rooting for a story about a person – one who made the best of his opportunities and seized the moment when it was his time.

Rooting for John Beilein isn’t about basketball at all.

It’s about respect and what can happen when a person works hard and doesn’t take shortcuts.

It’s about perseverance – something everyone can root for.

“I think the chemistry that (Silva) and Schwindel have built over the last couple years, is really adding on. You’ve got Kelsie, you got (Kailey) Utley, you got Annalika (Steyn),” IzzoBrown said. “I think that kind of rotation and that opportunity for them, as upperclassmen, to guide these three freshmen along is going to be tremendous this spring.”

The Mountaineers are also using the spring season to get healthy. Senior Caroline Szwed was forced to sit out the entire 2012

season after injuring her knee against Seton Hall in 2011. This season, Szwed – who’s scored four goals and 16 assist as a Mountaineer – will be a welcome addition to the WVU midfield.

The other Mountaineer returning from injury is redshirt freshman Carly Black, who is also coming back from a knee injury. Black returned to the soccer pitch with a bang, heading in the third West Virginia goal of the afternoon before halftime.

“Szwed and Carly (Black) – those two were

huge hits for us this fall,” Izzo-Brown said. “Not having them and all their experience was tough, but now, getting them back is a reward.

“I thought both of them were very effective today, so it was good for them. I was happy for them.”

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s will continue their short spring season next weekend when they travel Pittsburgh’s Ambrose Urbanic field to take on Pittsburgh and Ohio State April 13.

LeBlanc said the opponent is not very important at this stage in the spring season.

“Our focus is on ourselves and like I said, we’ve made some great improvements,” he said. “I think the results will come with the games that we’re making. There’s

nothing worse than doing everything you’re told and working your socks off and not getting the results to go with it.”

The Mountaineers will now travel to face former Big East rival Pittsburgh Saturday. The Panthers finished last season

with a 6-9-2 record and will make their debut in the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. Pitt lost nine straight games to end the season but will look to bounce back in the highly contested ACC.

Mountaineers finish fifth at NCAA regionals by meghan carr sports writer

The West Virginia gymnastics team’s season came to a disappointing end Sunday night as it finished fifth in the NCAA regional championships at the Coliseum, scoring 194.475.

No. 5 Michigan and No. 17 Illinois will advance to the NCAA championships after scoring 196.725 and 196.025, respectively.

The fighting Illini upset the reigning Big 10 Champion, No. 8 Nebraska, which scored 195.875 and finished third. No. 19 Kentucky placed fourth (195.575), and North Carolina finished sixth (194.350).

Senior Kaylyn Millick finished with a 39.0 overall and placed ninth. Junior Hope Sloanhoffer tallied a 38.9, finishing 12th.

The Mountaineers never seemed to settle down throughout the meet after opening on bars, an event that has given the Mountaineers problems all season.

Millick led the team with a score of 9.825 – her highest bars score since competing at Maryland February 24th – and pushed the team total to 48.475. Sophomore Dayah Haley opened the lineup and scored 9.7, followed by junior Erica Smith’s 9.675. Senior Chelsea Goldschrafe scored 9.65, and Sloanhoffer tallied 9.625.

In the second rotation, the Mountaineers tallied 48.450 on beam. The lineup struggled early with stumbles from Smith (9.575) and junior Amanda Carpenter (9.500), followed by a fall from sophomore Lia Salzano, who scored 9.125. The lineup recovered with a 9.8 score from Millick, a 9.750 routine from Sloanhoffer and a 9.825 from sophomore Beth Deal, who anchored the lineup.

The Mountaineers’ bye allowed them to sit out of the third rotation before competing on floor – one of their best events this season – but uncharacteristic performances from the Mountaineers led to them receiving their lowest score of the season on floor (48.550)

since competing at Utah.

Haley opened the lineup and received a 9.175 after falling at the end of her routine. Junior Makenzie Bristol (9.550) and Millick (9.600) both received .10 deductions from their final score after stepping outside the boundary line. Sloanhoffer finished the event with a 9.725 followed by Goldschrafe scoring 9.775.

Floor anchor senior Alaska Richardson turned it on for the Coliseum crowd and gave a memorable performance, scoring 9.875.

“I just wanted to get out there and show everybody in the Coliseum Mountaineer gymnastics,” Richardson said.

A collective effort from the Mountaineers’ lineup led to their only 49.0 or better score of the night. Four Mountaineers scored 9.8 or higher. Richardson and freshman Jaida Lawrence tallied a pair of 9.825 scores. Sloanhoffer and Goldschrafe both scored 9.8 followed by Millick’s 9.775. Haley opened the lineup and scored 9.750.

Two individual all-around performers and one individual event winner not on a qualifying team advance to the championships.

Nebraska may have been left out of the National Championships as a team, but three of their gymnasts will be competing in Los Angeles.

Nebraska’s Emily Wong (39.225) and Jessie Deziel (39.2) were chosen to go as all-around gymnasts, and Nebraska’s Brittany Skinner won the individual event score spot with a 9.95 on vault.

Although, the Mountaineers struggled throughout the meet, head coach Jason Butts said he was proud of their performance overall – especially from his seniors.

“I’m so proud of their fight tonight and all season. It didn’t go the way we wanted, but I always told my seniors I want them to go out doing their best gymnastics, and they did.” mel moraes/the daily athenaeum

Additionally, Hannah Stone took fifth place in the unseeded heat of the high jump, leaping 1.67 meters.

The Mountaineers saw similar success in Ohio at the Ohio Team Challenge and Sunset Classic.

On Saturday, junior Katlyn Shelar broke the school record in the pole vault with a mark of 4.08.

Senior Heather Adams won both the discus and hammer throw for the second time in as many weeks, with marks of 43.88 meters and 50.47 meters, respectively. Karissa Knabenshue placed second in the discus with a mark of 42.11 and took third place in the shot put with a 12.31 meter

distance.

D’Egidio also ran the 800-meter race, taking second place with a time of 2:18.37.

WVU earns first-place finish vs. Alabama, UCF By jon fehrens sports writer

The West Virginia rowing team traveled to Tuscaloosa, Ala., Sunday. The team earned one first-place finish on The Black Warrior River against the Crimson Tide and the University of Central Florida.

“Today’s racing presented an excellent opportunity to evaluate our crews in true racing conditions and to measure ourselves against Conference USA foes Alabama and UCF,” said WVU head coach Jimmy King.

The first varsity 8+ crew led the way for the Mountaineers as Rachelle Purych, Kelly Kramer, Danielle Widecrants, Elizabeth Kantak, Jessica Hurlbert, Karen Verwey, Courtney Schrand and coxswain Mallory Fisher defeated both Alabama and UCF with a time of 7:41.5.

“The best performance of the day was by our varsity 8+ and not just because they won, but in how they won,” King said. “For much of the race, they were down open water to UCF, gaining contact in only the last 500 meters. The poise with which they raced today made the difference in the end.”

The second race of the day featured Beathany Anne Sapen, Melinda Sharon, Hilary Meale, Mary Ignatiadis, Mollie Rosen, Tamyra Roberts, Jeannine McCarty,

Elizabeth Duarte, and coxswain Morgan Leach. The second varsity 8+ couldn’t carry the momentum, and they finished No. 3 with a time of 7:57.6.

“Our second varsity 8+ failed to execute a complete race from start to finish,” King said. “They put together a solid first thousand but lost their rhythm in the second thousand, allowing Alabama and UCF to get away from them. I’m confident that they will learn from today’s experience and execute better next week.”

In the varsity 4+ races, Alabama took the top finishes in both races. Racing in the first varsity crew were Susannah Hartlove, Allison Coates, Danika Rencken, Mary Cook and Alexandra Basil. Despite a solid outing, the first varsity 4+ team finished in third with a time of 9:13.9. WVU’s second varsity 4+ team fared better, as they placed second with 9:10.4 time.

“Our 4+s struggled a bit today. The 4+ in particular was off compared to what they have demonstrated in the past, but our second varsity 4+ showed improvement,” King said. “We expect much more from those crews as the season progresses.”

Action will pick back up this weekend as West Virginia takes part in the Knecht Cup Regatta on the Cooper River in Cherry Hill, N.J. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
