Law school receives largest-ever gift by carlee Lammers City editor

The West Virginia University College of Law announced its largest-ever capital donation of $7.5 million Tuesday.

The gift, which was donated by the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust, will be put toward funding the college’s $25 million building project that broke ground last fall.

“Mrs. McQuain’s gifts to the University and to the

Morgantown area have changed the face of our community and our University in immeasurable ways. Her spirit of generosity and her compassion for others lives on and inspires the projects of the Charitable Trust – projects that truly change lives.

“We are deeply appreciative to the leaders of the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust for making this historic investment in our College of Law,” said WVU President James P.

Clements.

In a press conference Tuesday, Stephen P. Farmer, a member of the McQuain Trust Board of Trustees, said the gift will not only benefit the work of law students and faculty, but also those they serve in the community and beyond.

“As for all of the law students and the faculty, who we have tremendous respect for, this gift is less about them and more about the people that they

will help in their lives,” Farmer said.

“As they go forward and live their legal career as a lawyer or law-maker, judge or educator, they will work tirelessly every day, and they will, on a day-to-day basis, improve the lives of the people they come in contact with.”

James Jolly, director of marketing and communications for the College of Law, said the College is grateful for the gift as it is essential to maintain state-

“It’s important for law colleges and law schools to prepare for the future, and we need have state-of-theart facilities to do that. This will help make that happen at our law school,” he said.

“It’s a bricks-and-mortar gift as well as a technology gift.”

The renovation and building project, funded 50/50 by state and private support, includes an additional 20,000 square feet of space for classrooms, law

New restaurant to bring sweet, smoky offerings to Morgantown

By Shelby Toompas Staff writer

In the heart of a college town, Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint hopes to bring a unique sense of Southern comfort to Morgantown.

Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint seeks to bring communities the art of real, authentic barbecue – something it believes is losing its way in restaurants today.

The Joint was based on the idea of having authentic southern barbecue and good quality food.

Patrick Martin, founder of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, said everything is prepped and made daily from scratch.

“No matter if it’s a sauce or a salad dressing, it’s all made daily,” Martin said. “We cook our barbecue the old way, meaning we only cook so much, and we might run out, because we don’t believe in freezing and re-heating. That’s important to our brand.”

There are no freezers or microwaves in the Joint’s kitchen, but Martin said there is sure to be a whole hog cooking out on the patio.

Martin said cooking hogs over coal for a full 24 hours is also important to his brand.

Sustainability, innovation power Evive managing editor

Editor’s Note: This is the second in a two-part story about Evive Station.

When Tom Petrini was a student at West Virginia University, sustainability was far from a mainstream topic.

“I think whenever I was here sustainability wasn’t a thing,” he said. “It’s pretty new, (and) it continues to grow and grow.”

A 2005 graduate of the College of Business & Economics, Petrini eventually continued his education at Duquesne University, where he earned an MBA concentrated in finance and sustainability. This experience helped him to form a viewpoint that defines his company today.

“I think all companies now should be developing products that are sustainable and generate a profit. It shouldn’t be any other way,” he said.

“In my opinion, the cycle of the earth is too short not to be forward-thinking.”

In 2010, Petrini sought out the guidance of Clement Soloman, Director of Sustainability at West Virginia University. After hearing Petrini’s pitch, Solomon became one of Evive Station’s biggest advocates.

Through Evive kiosks, Solomon saw the benefits of championing the University’s sustainability goals in a new format.

“Adding the Evive Station certainly furthers our sustainability goals for waste avoidance and waste aversion that would otherwise happen through the use of single-use water bottles,” Solomon said.

Petrini said the kiosks use 62 percent less electricity than washing 25 bottles in a dishwasher or by washing each bottle individually.

Local businesses came together Tuesday to celebrate the second-annual MORGANTOWN Magazine Best of Morgantown award ceremony.

Committed to promoting the local treasures of Morgantown, from dining and shopping to sporting events and people, MORGANTOWN Magazine is the go-to resource for living in Morgantown. The Best of Morgantown competition has local businesses competing and trying to be the finest and thus crowned as the winner.

“We call it ‘The BOM Awards,’ and we go out with a ballot in the magazine and promote it on Facebook and Twitter,” said Nikki Bowman, publisher and editor of MORGANTOWN magazine.

“This year, we had more than 2,000 people voting, which is pretty incredible. It’s at least double from last year.”

What qualifies a business to be called the best? It’s up to the readers of MORGANTOWN Magazine, who vote for their favorite local businesses.

“When I think about what I personally believe is the

best, I think about service, quality of food and their use of local ingredients,” Bowman said. “I am all about supporting local businesses – that’s what each of my publications champion. It’s really helping small businesses, local businesses and encouraging people to support them.”

The event was hosted at Black Bear Burritos Evansdale, and The Cupcakerie provided miniature cupcakes. Both businesses were two-time winners this year and were honored to keep their spot as the Best Vegetarian and the Best Cupcake, respectively.

Black Bear Burritos is coowned by Jason Coffman and Matt Showalter, who both graduated from WVU and maintain their friendship while running their business.

“He and I both grew up in households that were powered by small business, and it clearly stuck with us that we wanted to open our own small business,” Showalter said. “It was a good night to be among like-minded people and to be recognized and to recognize places that we frequent and try to support.”

Members of Fairness West Virginia, as well as other individuals, met to discuss the civil rights of LGBT individuals in West Virginia Tuesday in the Mountainlair.

The event was hosted

by Fairness West Virginia, a civil rights organization that fights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.

Their mission is to ensure LGBT individuals can be openly honest about their sexuality and safe at home, work, school and in their communities.

Daniel Brewster, a sociology and anthropology professor at WVU and member of the Board of Directors of Fairness West Virginia, explained his personal involvement with this statewide dilemma.

“Here I am lecturing to students, talking about the American Dream, and regardless of what degree you have or how grandiose your resume, you can walk in to any employer, and they can ask you if you’re gay, and if you say ‘yes’, they can dismiss you without any course of action,” he said. “So what you have is a matter of clear discrimination that’s just a result of sexual orientation.”

Brewster said it is important for him as an educator to help his students understand what they need to do in order to be successful. Still, some of them know they can be discriminated against because of the way they were born.

“This is also in housing, as well. Particularly off campus, where a lot of students live in off-campus housing

Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint first opened its doors Oct. 16, 2006 in Nolensville, Tenn.

However, after Martin teamed with partner Mike Bodnar, a West Virginia University alumnus and restaurant operator who is currently involved with Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe, he felt the need to bring it to Morgantown.

“We felt that Morgantown had kind of a dearth of barbecue at all – good or bad, and we thought it was a nobrainer to put one in,” Martin said. “Morgantown represents the same demographic that we serve back home and the same type of people, and we felt like they would appreciate it.”

Local owner and operator of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint Belinda Butler said Suncrest Towne Centre is in the heart of Morgantown, and she wanted to introduce some southern hospitality and cooking to the city.

“This community has such a great vibe; it’s really like a big group of friends and family, and we wanted to just park right in the middle of it and see what we could do,” Butler said. “We wanted some of

“In 2013 to have such a clear enlightened infringement of civil rights is astounding.”

Brewster said Fairness West Virginia wants West Virginia to be a state where there is no discrimination against sexual orientation.

“I think sustainability goes beyond just your facilities, operations and services – it is about innovating into the future where we teach our students. We engage our students and provide students with real-life opportunities,” he said.

“Universities have to be incubators for innovation, and when Tom and I first met, I saw the opportunity that we could incubate this at WVU and serve as a platform for demonstrating that innovation,” he said.

After six months of building and training, Martin’s BarB-Que Joint plans to have its grand opening in a few days.

The Joint will not only offer barbecue, but it will also serve burgers, wings, chicken dinners and salads, as well as the notorious “Redneck Taco.”

“The Redneck Taco is our signature item, but we believe in putting coleslaw on top of our sandwiches, offering our smoked wings and popular ribs, serving beef brisket and having five sauces that represent the major barbecue regions of the South,” Martin said. “We believe in serving everything the way it should be served; you can’t rush good barbecue.”

Butler said that if they can’t offer 100 percent the best, juiciest pork sandwich, they don’t want to offer it at all, because they strive for the best quality.

Right now, the hogs come from Alabama and Tennessee, but Martin would like them come locally in the future.

“We are also talking with the University about partnering up with us and growing our own tomatoes, because in Tennessee, we grow our tomatoes for the summer fresh and bring them in fresh every day,” he said. “It’s

Martin said he created the entire menu himself and developed the recipe for the coleslaw and four of the sauces in his college dorm room.

The desserts are his mother and grandmother’s homemade recipes.

“The coconut cake just got named in the top five in the country,” he said. “I’m a very family-oriented guy and I’m proud of my family, for I think they cook the best food.”

As well as food, there will be a lot of local beer and

southern brew offered, too.

“We are going to try to identify what the customer wants and what is currently the best beer at the time,” he said. “The beer list will change seasonally, so we will start with a lighter spring and summer beer and go more toward darker, brown ales in the fall and winter.”

“We’re a big group of family and friends, and when someone comes here, they’re not coming here to have fancy table service, but they’re coming here to have good food at a place where you know the staff, and everyone can enjoy, not only the food, but also the music and the people,” Butler said.

Before getting into the business, Martin was used to

cooking hogs 3-4 times per year with friends and family in his hometown.

“I’m just trying to recreate here what we did there,” he said. “We would sit up all night with the hogs – drink beer, play cards, listen to music, get up the next day, pray before we ate and hang out and eat with family.”

The Joint’s hours are currently 11 a.m.-9 p.m. all week and it plans to extend hours in the summer, as well.

Butler said dine-in, takeout, catering and drive through are offered at guest’s convenience.

“In Nashville, from the time you order, you get your food in under four minutes, and that is something we will practice here, as well,” she

said.

There will also be merchandise available for guests including T-shirts, hats, coozies, bumper stickers and the Joint’s sauces.

Butler and Martin said they both hope to be here for a long time and hope to become an establishment where current West Virginia University students can come back and bring their children one day.

“We hope to engrain ourselves in the community and provide quality service and excellent food,” Butler said.

“The thing with Morgantown Magazine, why it’s so special, I think, is that Morgantown is the fastest-growing city in West Virginia, and we have a

lot of turnover in our population,” Bowman said.

With all the students and visitors coming in and out, MORGANTOWN Magazine is striving to be a reference.

“When people are coming in, they are always looking for something to tell them: where

“They turn to us as their resource on living in Morgantown.”

citizens,” he said Student Government President Zachary Redding has been working with Fairness WV and Professor Brewster to help eliminate this discrimination.

“Here on campus, we are still fighting to get an LGBT center, and we still need help from students, faculty and everyone else who is willing to help,” he said.

Redding said if any students or faculty are interested in joining him to help put together a letter for legislators, they are welcome to get in touch.

“We hope that it will make a difference, especially from the biggest land-grant institution in the state, that our student government and our student body respects LGBT members and are absolutely

against this discrimination,” he said.

Redding encourages everyone who feels they can help with this cause to reach out to him as he and others move forward with this movement.

“I can use so much more help, and numbers are great, so please continue to do what you are doing,” he said.

Reverend Kris Haig from the First Presbyterian Church on Spruce Street attended the event to express her appreciation, love and respect for the LGBT community.

“One of the reasons we came to serve this particular church is because they had a statement that said that they embrace people of all gender, economic situation, race and sexual orientation,” she said. “We knew that was

where we wanted to be.”

Haig said one of the first funerals she presided over was for a man who committed suicide because he was homosexual and raised to believe he was evil.

“He thought he was despised by God, and there was no reconciling God with his own sense of sexuality and the pain of that became so unbearable that he chose to end his own life,” Haig said.

“God made every single human being in the divine image – no exceptions – not every heterosexual human being,” she said. “Every single human being is the image of God walking around on this planet, and we need to manifest that reality so it’s safe to be a gay person.”

Bennet Anderson, field

organizer with Fairness WV, had a very supportive family and support group when he came out.

However, when he joined the Peace Corps and went to Ukraine, he really came to understand the vulnerability that the LGBT community faces across the whole world. Ukraine has a different view of homosexuality.

“I suddenly was at a job where if they found out I was gay, I would have to be moved. That fear of vulnerability had finally struck me for really the first time in my life, he said.”

When Anderson came back to West Virginia, he started reaching out to the community to find supporters and empower those supporters to help pass legis-

lation that will add sexual orientation and gender identity to the human rights act in West Virginia.

“This could potentially take away the vulnerability that exists that people don’t have to worry about losing their jobs just because of who they love anymore,” he said. “There will be some sort of protection on the books that they can use.”

During the event, everyone was encouraged to sign the petition online to end LGBT job and housing discrimination, as well as attend Lobby Day on March 5 at the capitol in Charleston, W.Va. For more information on Fairness WV, visit http://fairnesswv.org.

Solomon said West Virginia’s role as the official launching platform for Evive Station is an ideal partnership for both the University and the company.

“I think there’s that aspect of ‘How do we fulfill that land-grant mission of being an incubator for innovation,’ and Evive was a perfect opportunity for us to first go on a pilot scale and on onto a full-scale project.”

Petrini said Evive Station currently has about 22 fulltime employees and contractors – which fluctuates depending on what level of engineering and software development the company is working.

One of those full-time employees is Steve Jacobs, a 2008 graduate of West Virginia University who serves as Evive Station’s head soft-

ware engineer. Petrini said the work that Jacobs, does is essential to the company’s operations.

“It might seem simple to someone that doesn’t understand the software, but the sophistication that’s behind the scenes, based on your profile, is pretty intense, and he was in charge of building that whole thing,” he said.

In addition to full-time employees, Evive Station employs 15 interns – all of whom are West Virginia University students.

Evive Station will distribute 7,000 bottles to students on campus at the Mountainlair, Student Recreation Center, Health Sciences Center and Engineering building Thursday.

Zabiegalski has been with Evive Station for more than a year and pursued a spot as an intern after hearing Petrini give a presentation on the company in March 2012.

“It was last March and Tom (Petrini) came around to one of my classrooms in the Business College, and he gave a speech and talked about Evive and what was coming and what’s happening, and I was hooked from the start,” he said.

“I loved the idea. There was actually a career fair the next week, and they happened to have a both there, and I went upstairs and introduced myself and said ‘I saw you guys in my class, and I’d love to help you out anyway I can.’”

As with any start up, Zabiegalski’s work with the company is different every day, and the lack of a routine is something he said was enjoyable.

“The experience has been awesome. Every day is different, and you don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s a lot of fun,” he said.

“I’m kind of everywhere. It can be anything from helping to design T-shirts, to helping out with advertising sales – I do whatever I can help with.”

Zabiegalski echoed Solomon’s sentiments and said being able to obtain reallife experience while still in school is invaluable and something he wished more opportunities existed for.

“You have the day-to-day classrooms, lectures (and) PowerPoints, but to actually interact and do things help a business grow and work with people like Tom (Petrini) is awesome,” he said.

“The experience complemented the classroom theory, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’d love to see more of that at WVU.” Before founding Evive Station, Petrini was a project manager at Heinz in Pittsburgh, Pa., which is the same city that houses the headquarters for the company.

His family reminded him the risks in starting the company were high, but it has paid off. “(My parents) thought I was pretty crazy, because I had a nice job, and I was traveling the world to the point that when I left (Heinz), I was going to Italy back and forth for work,” he said.

“It sounds nice, but I was working nonstop and (was) on a plane and jet-lagged all the time. Ultimately, once they got past the fact that I told them I was going to resign and pursue (Evive Station), they were supportive.”

Petrini sank the majority of his savings into the start-

sUbMitted

ing company and went an entire year without drawing any income.

“I put in just about all of the money I was making into this company aside from having a little bit of fun and enjoying life, because I knew I was going to be buckling down and doing this,” he said.

“I put in about $60,000 before I got investors and went a year without making any money before I got a salary to get by.”

Evive Station is scheduled to expand outside Morgantown later this year, when it enters the campuses of Carnegie Mellon University and Slippery Rock University, as well as the corporate offices of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Petrini said the process of building Evive Station to where it is today hasn’t been an easy one, but the nature of the job doesn’t make it feel like work.

“It’s definitely a struggle but to make a commitment to doing something like this, but building cool experiences for West Virginia students and everyone else around –it’s fun – it makes work not work.”

In an ever-changing future, Evive Station is one of the companies working to make sure innovation is never watered down.

And that’s a good thing. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Be patient with Huggs, young Mountaineers

West Virginia begins tough conference stretch with matchup against Baylor Bears

By Doug Walp Sports writer

Following a tumultuous first half of the season, the West Virginia men’s basketball team is in the middle of a potential turnaround.

WVU will take its three-game conference win streak to Waco, Texas, Wednesday evening and take on Baylor, the only Big 12 Conference team West Virginia has yet to face as a member of the league.

“They’ve got a quick point guard that can really score the ball,” said freshman guard Eron Harris. “And they’ve got a couple guys that can shoot it (and) some long inside guys. But I think we have thicker big men than theirs. So hopefully they can get in there and battle and get some boards.”

It will be the second all-time meeting between the two schools.

Baylor edged the Mountaineers 83-81 last year in their first meeting, in the championship game of the Las Vegas Classic last season.

This year, Baylor is 10-3 overall at home, including a 4-1 mark at

home in league play.

WVU, on the other hand, is 3-5 on the road this season, but two of those three wins have come in the last eight days.

Still, the miles traveled are indeed adding up for the Mountaineers, as Wednesday’s road trip will be WVU’s eighth road trip this season, covering more than 1,500 miles round-trip. In fact, after Wednesday, the Mountaineers will have traveled nearly 10,000 miles since Jan. 26 alone.

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins, who coached in his 1,000th career college basketball game Saturday in a win against TCU, will coach his 200th game at West Virginia since returning to his alma mater in April, 2007.

It should also be noted Wednesday night’s game will almost certainly carry critical postseason implications, considering the Big 12 has been projected to get six total NCAA tournament bids, and right now Baylor holds that No. 6 spot in the standings at 6-4 in conference play. But the Mountaineers are lurking at 5-5 after three straight conference wins and are

threatening to move into the upper echelon of the conference with a few more wins down the stretch.

“We got a nice confidence level going,” said sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds. “We play Baylor on Wednesday, so it’s going to be a good game. We’re looking forward to that. Their bigs rebound the ball, and we’ve just got to play hard.”

But even amidst West Virginia’s current three-game win streak, the Mountaineers have yet to defeat anyone in the Big 12 with a winning conference record. WVU is 5-0 against Texas, Texas Tech and TCU, who are a combined 5-26 in league play this season. Conversely, West Virginia is a woeful 0-5 in league play against the top five teams in the Big 12.

Freshman guard Terry Henderson claimed after the TCU game on Saturday that this record will have the Mountaineers extra fired up down this critical stretch.

“It factors in a lot. We’re going to work harder in practice with these big games coming up,” Henderson said.

Henderson is coming off a

game-high 17 points in just 19 minutes off the bench in the win Saturday against the Horned Frogs. Henderson was 3 of 4 from behind the arc, 4 of 4 from the charity stripe and shot a cool 83 percent from the floor overall in his most productive game since returning from a lower back injury in mid-January.

But other West Virginia players have remained adamant that their lack of success against the top teams in the Big 12 standings won’t have a whole lot of bearing down the stretch, simply because the Mountaineers are playing with a much higher collective confidence level since running off three consecutive conference wins over the last week and a half.

“I don’t think it matters,” Harris said. “We’re a different team now.

We think we can contend with anyone in the league right now.

“We definitely have a chance to get up in the top three in the conference – we’ve just got to keep winning these games. We’ve got three in a row; let’s make it four.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

While things are starting to turn around for the West Virginia men’s basketball team, they definitely don’t look good just yet.

Somehow, the Mountaineers have found themselves just 2.5 games out of first place in the Big 12 Conference standings and have won five games in league play. But they have yet to beat a team currently ahead of them in the Big 12 standings – just one victory against Texas Tech and sweeps over Texas and TCU. Unless they can start stringing together even more wins, and more importantly win games against quality opponents, West Virginia will likely miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since John Beilein’s final season in Morgantown.

That’s the way it looks right now, but believe it or not – even though the Mountaineers will likely be playing in the NIT in March – things aren’t all bad.

If nothing else, the way the Mountaineers have been playing, even against teams that aren’t that good, offers an encouraging outlook for the future of WVU basketball.

Even though a lot of players contributed to last year’s team, West Virginia is still one of the youngest teams in the Big 12. Eleven of the 15 players on WVU’s roster are freshmen or sophomores, and many of them are playing major roles on this year’s team.

And the recent success that has come with three straight wins is starting to give them more confidence.

“In all honesty, we’ve been so close,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Hopefully, we have enough confidence now.

We’re still so young in the backcourt.

“We’ve got a lot of youth there, and I think they’re growing up.”

And you can tell, especially when you look at freshmen Eron Harris and

WVU looking for sweep of Oklahoma St. by cody schuler managing editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team will try to complete a sweep of the season series against No. 24 Oklahoma State tonight. The Mountaineers (14-9, 6-6) are coming off a 16-point road win against Kansas and defeated the Cowgirls 67-61 in the teams’ prior matchup.

Oklahoma State (16-6, 5-6) is in search of its third Big 12 road win of the season and hopes to avenge the Jan. 29 home loss to West Virginia – only the fifth time in 34 tries the Cowgirls were defeated at home.

Despite leading by as many as 13 points in the second half of that game, West Virginia clung to a 2-point lead with less than two minutes to play. West Virginia head coach Mike Carey said his team’s ability to hang on and close out the victory was a big breakthrough for the Mountaineers.

“First of all that’s a big win for us,” he said. “We’ve had about four of these in the Big 12, having the lead at halftime and then losing the lead with (less than) four minutes. We almost did it, but give our girls a lot of credit.”

In Carey’s personal assessment, the only team more talented than Oklahoma State is top-ranked Baylor.

“I think Oklahoma State has a great team,” he said.

“I really felt watching tape, they’re the last team we have not played in the Big 12, and I thought they have the second-most talent and play well, next to Baylor. To get this win on the road is big

Dunning (10 ppg) and junior guards Taylor Palmer (10.5) and Christal Caldwell (13.7) are the key cogs in the Mountaineers’ offensive attack.

The Cowgirls also average three players in doublefigure scoring, led by senior forward Toni Young (16.5 ppg). Sophomore forward Liz Donohoe (15.3 ppg) and junior guard Tiffany Bias (12.4) will make defending Oklahoma State’s offensive attack a challenge inside and out.

The up-tempo offense employed by the Cowgirls collects an average of 76.6 points per game – No. 9 in

the nation. The Mountaineers’ stingy three-point defense should help to tame the Cowgirls’ scoreboard prospects as the 28.8 percent clip West Virginia yields to opponents from beyond the arc is the best in the conference.

Bias and Young paced the Cowgirls in the Jan. 29 matchup as both finished with 15 points in the loss.

Caldwell knocked in a career-high five 3-pointers

en route to finishing with a game-high 21 points.

Sophomore forward Averee Fields added a career-high 19 points in that win and is making significant contributions for the Mountaineers in Big 12 play. The Murray, Ky., native is pulling in a team-best 5.4 rebounds per conference game.

OPINION Celebrating the other V-Day

Wednesday February 13, 2013

One in three women in the world will be sexually assaulted or beaten in their lifetime – 1 billion mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces and cousins who are abused and targeted.

This statistic isn’t something out of a dystopian cautionary tale touting feminist ideals. It’s fact, and it’s something that should scare anyone who believes in the sanctity of human life.

V-Day, the movement against violence toward women, created by Vagina Monologues author and activist Eve Ensler,

falls on Thursday. It’s not as long-standing and, well, mushy as Valentine’s Day itself, but a box of chocolates isn’t really going to protect a woman from the rapist hiding in the parking garage of her apartment complex.

V-Day is a global movement of grassroots activists dedicated to generating broader attention and funds to stop violence against women and girls, including in cases of rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation, sex slavery and human trafficking.

The movement’s four

core beliefs include the power of art to inspire action, the ability of ordinary people to inspire extraordinary things, the worth of local women in inspiring their local communities to adopt change and the intersection of race, gender and culture and its impact on violence against women.

The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 provides $1.6 billion toward the investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women, imposes automatic, mandatory restitution on those convicted and allows civil redress in

cases prosecutors choose to leave unexplored. The law was up for reauthorization in 2012, and the Senate passed an extension to the act on Feb. 11.

The House of Representatives must now vote to extend VAWA, something it failed to do in the 112th Congress.

According to WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, 50-90 percent of rapes go unreported, while only 6 percent of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. Date rape comprises 50-75 percent of all rapes, and one in every six adult women

in the U.S. has been a victim of rape.

Respect for women is something that should transcend cultural expectation, societal norms and the length and relative tightness of a skirt. It could mean the difference for countless women and girls who walk down the street with their car keys between their knuckles or who glance constantly over their shoulders once the sun sets.

Stop politicizing Sandy Hook tragedy molly robinson columnist

It’s been nearly two months since the unspeakable horrors of the Sandy Hook tragedy shook homes across America, regaling the story of innocent children gunned down by Adam Lanza in a small town in Connecticut.

In the two months that have passed, twenty children and six teachers have been buried, memorials have been held across the nation and America is still coming to grips with the situation.

I understand there are different ways of grieving.

I understand that what happened Dec. 14 is perhaps one of the most indescribably horrible tragedies our country has ever faced and I understand we will never be the same because of it.

What I cannot fathom, however, is the instantaneous political outcry afterwards.

Since that day, after a brief moment in which we all came together to collectively mourn those who were mercilessly gunned down, we have fallen back on our favorite pasttime-pointing fingers at each other.

It doesn’t seem to matter that Lanza killed those children and staff members at Sandy Hook. In fact, in the wake of this devastation, it seems that anyone on either side of the “gun-law” debate is to blame. Or perhaps the fault rests with President Obama, who many have proclaimed a hypocrite for mourning these lives cut short yet supporting the practice of abortion.

It is, for lack of a better term, disgusting.

From fear comes anger, and from anger comes blame. We are all frothing at the mouth to condemn someone, yet the true cul-

President Barack Obama, flanked by Vice President John Biden, smiles as he gives his State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington Tuesday. prit lost his life that day as well, thereby leaving us grasping at straws to unload our raging emotions on someone or something.

Unfortunately, as with all deeply hurt countries, it is often a political idea or leader who takes a disproportionate amount of accusation.

What happened that day is not something that can simply be eradicated with stricter gun laws. Nor is likening abortion to the

massacre of twenty-six individuals a subject that need even be addressed in this article.

What should be brought up, however, is the idea of safer schools with stricter security guidelines. What we should worry about is not whether our political leaders are doing enough to eliminate the possibility of this ever happening again but about the child who is bullied every day and at the end of his wire,

ready to blow. We should be horrified not by our fellow American’s opposing positions but by the status of those with mental issues who are left untreated.

We should not be at each other’s throats about irrelevant politics but coming together as Americans in the aftermath of this abomination.

Furthermore, drawing attention to the recent outbreaks of unwarranted mass murder – whether

it be in a theater, mall, or school setting – via the media or politics is not doing our country well.

Notoriety is the evil twin of celebrity, and thus the huge amount of publicity each catastrophic event is granted naturally provokes the idea in another fearful, angry individual.

We are trapped in a neverending cycle of supplying the news and disturbingly, sparking the fire for terrible things to come.

ap

Instead, let us count our losses – namely, all those who have died needlessly for causes either unknown or not understood by any besides the killer himself.

Let us band together and think our way to the next step to tweak our country into the better, safer place we strive for every day instead of letting our emotions overrule cool logic.

And mostly, let us not allow politics to rip us apart in times of fear.

Who is in bed with whom? The military and the media MATHEW DISLER Harvard political review

While researching for her biography All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell spent months in Afghanistan with General Petraeus, then-commander of the International Security Assistance Force, to fully understand America’s most prominent general of the last decade. The now-infamous affair that ensued between Broadwell and her subject during that time shed new light on the complicated relationship between the media and the military.

The scandal demonstrated how contemporary media coverage of the military may lead to the disclosure of sensitive material

DA

and also how it causes reporting bias. As the nation winds down over a decade of war, it is time to analyze the complex relationship between journalists and soldiers.

The relationship between the press and the armed forces has not always been as close as today’s. After journalists relayed overtly negative stories to the American public during the Vietnam War, the military increasingly distanced itself from the media. Even as late as the Persian Gulf War, journalists were strictly managed and generally kept separate from American servicemen and women.

This policy changed during Operation Iraqi Freedom, when the U.S. Department of Defense allowed 600 journalists to embed with the troops.

The intimacy provided

certain advantages. On the one hand, the military was reported in a more favorable light, since journalists wrote about men and women they knew and interacted with on a daily basis. On the other, reporters received detailed knowledge and information about their subjects, and the public became better informed.

Embedded journalists received an added benefit: protection. Of the 150 media workers killed on the job in Iraq from 2003 to 2011, only 26 were not Iraqis. Essentially all foreign journalists employ security — for those embedded, this safety is free and guaranteed.

The close relationship, however, has several disadvantages. First, the media may be granted too much access to the military, depending on your views regarding freedom of infor-

mation. Nonetheless, it is true, despite our opinion on the legitimacy of this freedom and whether it pertains to all state information (as Julian Assange and his followers would believe), the media may reveal information that is clearly not in the interest of the military. The 2010 Rolling Stone interview with General Stanley McChrystal, for instance, revealed serious personal divides within the defense organization. As a result of his public comments, General McChrystal was relieved of his command, and soon after the incident then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates issued a memo to officials urging caution in interactions with the media.

Second, when journalists act closely with troops, they tend to exhibit bias in favor of the military. (A no-

table counterexample to this trend is the behavior of the media during the Vietnam War, when journalists were biased against the American military.) From the two World Wars to Iraq, the closer reporters are to soldiers, the more agreeable the relationship. While the journalist-soldier embrace may be beneficial to the armed forces, it deprives the public of a truly accurate picture of the situation on the ground.

It is dubious to assert any piece written in a war zone, however, would be impartial, yet the information embedded journalists glean is unsurpassed. Biased reporting is not necessarily an evil.

Neutrality is certainly valuable, but writers and reporters should also be able to convey their perspectives.

Doing so provides a more accurate picture of their ex-

periences. If we accept the premise of biased reporting though, it is important we recognize it when we read it – something the public may not do. The problem is bias is often reported and interpreted as fact, so we believe we gain a neutral standpoint on a topic when the opposite is true.

Attempting to destroy media bias is neither realistic nor appropriate. Instead of trying to change how journalists tell their stories, we should recognize that although there are certainly many pieces with a pro-military bent, there are also reports with opposing viewpoints. We should train ourselves to more accurately identify this partiality, and in doing so promilitary media bias would become simply another perspective from which we read the news.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year the unexpected runs rampant in your day-today life. It prevents boredom, and it helps you identify your priorities. You might have difficulty walking away from drama. Rather than fight the trend, let the exciting dynamics roll right past you. If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it is change, and it is right around the corner. If you are single, you could have a sequence of intense potential sweeties. Take your time deciding, and you will benefit.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Put your best foot forward, even in an unpredictable situation.

You tend to help others feel a lot more relaxed and at ease. Claim your power, and do what you want. Someone who pushes you hard will respect you more as a result. Tonight: Do your own thing.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Read between the lines rather than immediately react. In fact, the less said, the better. You might have difficulty getting past a problem or a bad mood. Just let time do its thing.

Someone at a distance could be exceptionally difficult. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Look at what is going on in a meeting. Note the different roles others play. These roles are interesting in that they reflect each person’s issues. You might be so detached that others could feel uncomfortable with you. Recognize your limits. Tonight: Only where the crowds are.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Take a stand and know what you want to do. Somehow others easily misunderstand you. You could feel as if someone is bullying you. Walk away. You might take a strong stand in a key matter. Realize that you might be the one creating a problem. Tonight: Take the lead.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Take the lead in a situation before someone can interfere. The unexpected occurs, and it floors you and many others. A meeting points your attention in the right direction. Pressure comes from your schedule and its demands. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot that has music.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Deal with someone you care about directly. The interaction might surprise you at first, and then could delight you later. You need that type of dynamic in a bond in order to stay interested. Understand your need for change. Tonight: Play “follow the leader.”

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Defer to others, and avoid an argument. A power play might get the best of you if you get involved in it.

The smart move is to steer clear and do what is necessary. Do not respond.

If you continue to say nothing, the game might end. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You might try to bypass a problem when the unexpected occurs.

Recognize that you can do only so much. Do not attempt a power play or any other type of manipulation.

You know what is acceptable. Tonight: Opt for a foot rub or a mas-

WVU uses recruiting class to address pass rush issues by michael carvelli sports editor

With the West Virginia defense struggling as it did in 2012, a lot of attention was given to the less than exceptional play of the Mountaineer secondary.

And to an extent, that attention was well-deserved for a group that finished near the bottom in just about every statistical category nationally.

But when addressing his 2013 recruiting class, head coach Dana Holgorsen knew one thing he and his staff could go after to improve that in 2013.

Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with the talented crop of defensive backs in the class.

“We put a strong emphasis on guys that could rush the passer,” Holgorsen said. “Everybody said that our woes, defensively, were pass defense related, so we

should get as many corners as we could. That’s a very uneducated statement. “‘You better find defensive linemen that can rush the passer’ ... We were not very deep at those positions.”

While the Mountaineers were one of the Big 12 Conference’s best defenses against the run in 2012, they struggled at times to get to the quarterback.

After sacking the opposing team’s quarterback 31 times in 2011 with anchors like Julian Miller and Bruce Irvin on the defensive end, West Virginia struggled at times to find a go-to threat to make sacks.

Holgorsen and the staff hope additions made to this year’s recruiting class will be able to come in and make an impact right away.

And it’s a need that had to be addressed as quickly as possible, since the only two Mountaineers with

more than two sacks – linebackers Josh Francis and Terence Garvin – will not return next season.

“When you have guys like Brandon Golson, (d’Vante) Henry and Dontrill Hymna, these guys are pass rushers.

They’re long and able to get to the quarterback,” Holgorsen said.

“We handled our needs.

Defensive line coach Erik Slaughter will have a few key pieces returning to his unit from last season, as both defensive end Will Clarke and nose guard Shaq Rowell come back, but he’s excited to see what kind of impact his newcomers are able to make.

He knows what it’s going to take for them to be successful and thinks this group has the potential to come in and make plays right away.

Now, the rest is on the coaching staff to work with them and make sure they

progress the way they’re supposed to.

“Every year, I get the NFL sacks leader; the top 10 guys are sent to me on video, so I can show them to our guys,” Slaughter said. “Nobody in the NFL gets sacks who isn’t fast ... If they can run and they’re tall, they’re going to be good pass rushers.

“The rest is on me.”

West Virginia has brought in plenty of players with good size, as most of the defensive linemen and linebackers joining the team this season are 6-foot-1 and taller.

“If you notice, it’s a lot of linebackers, a lot of long, tall guys that can run,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. “The one thing that people tend to get away from is that I try to get away from looking at positions specifically. I want to go get football players.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers climbing higher in 2013

Continued from page 3 Terry Henderson.

The only two freshmen on the roster have emerged as two of the Mountaineers’ most consistent scorers and the threats on the perimeter that Huggins has been looking for the past few seasons.

The way Harris and Henderson have continued to get better throughout the season, especially as of late, is definitely a positive; it’s a glimpse of what they could be.

Assuming that everyone improves from one year to the next – which didn’t really happen as much as it could have this season – it really looks as though the future can be bright.

Huggins and his staff have brought in a recruiting class that will bring in a group of quality players

PERSONALS The West Virginia gymnastics team is performing at a high level this season. tomatic bids to the NCAA National Championships.

Before the season officially began, Coach Butts said his team can win a national title. A very direct and lofty statement but Butts truly believes his team can live up to the expectations.

Butts’ coaching philosophy seems to be the complete opposite from wellknown head coach Bob Huggins. According to his gymnasts, Butts has a laidback, loose personality in the gym and during meets, which Butts said is something he strives for.

“I think for this sport, they are going to have a better performance if they are having fun,” Butts said.

“In gymnastics you do have your power events, and you have to be focused on that, but you don’t want them to be anymore stressed than they already are.”

This laid-back philosophy seems to be working as the woes that once plagued

the Mountaineers on uneven bars and balance beam earlier in the season are no more.

The Mo u n t a i n e e r s scored 47.4 on bars and 47.15 on balance beam in Utah and had several falls on the beam, earning them third in the quad meet.

Since Utah, everyone on the team has stepped up their game, including senior Kaylyn Millick, who finished first in all-around performance in Sunday’s win against Big 12 foe Iowa State. Millick has become a consistent all-around competitor this year for WVU. This year, the Mountaineers are enjoying record attendance at their home meets, which the coaches and players believe is helping them. The Mountaineers finished with a season-high score in their victory against ISU Sunday in front of the sixthbest crowd in their history.

“We feed off of the energy,” Butts said.

Patrick Gorrell/The daily athenaeum

“The crowd was amazing and seemed even louder than last week,” said junior Hope Sloanhoffer, referring to the large attendance for the Oklahoma, William & Mary and Western Michigan meet.

Before they even get to the postseason, the Mountaineers will face three ranked opponents. Including No. 3 nationally ranked Michigan, whom the Mountaineers will compete against in two weeks.

This team doesn’t lack confidence when it comes to competing against top teams. The Mountaineers scored 196.05 against OU – the quickest they have ever reached that score since the 2004 season. Coach Butts believes a team has to play the best to be the best. Knowing the teams that lay ahead, the gymnasts just shrug their shoulders and say they’ll be prepared. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

So, yes, it’s true things aren’t going well right now.

Although they’re getting on a roll recently, the Mountaineers will probably not make an appearance in the NCAA tournament this season.

But things will get better before they get any worse.

Right now all the Mountaineers, as well as WVU fans, can do is hope they’ll be able to build some more momentum and make things interesting when it comes to earning an at-large bid.

The Mountaineers have certainly brought championship experience to the Big 12. In 2012, the Mountaineers won their seventh EAGL title and hope to go even further into the postseason this year.

Now 1-1 in the Big 12 and fresh off two meets where they had highly impressive performances, scoring higher than 196 in both, the Mountaineers are heading into the last part of their season hoping to continue improving for post season. Morgantown will host the NCAA Regional’s in April, and the top two teams will receive au-

Traces to bring unique circus to WVU

BY Lacey palmer Associate A&E editor

A new kind of circus is coming to West Virginia University.

Traces, a dance troupe comprised of seven artists who perform highly difficult physical tricks, much like circus acts, will perform at the Creative Arts Center tonight at 7:30 p.m.

“Traces is based on the circus, but we’ve kind of tried to move away from the traditional circus acts with crazy costumes and such,” said Bradley Henderson, a member of the troupe. “It’s quite different from what many people are used to, such as Cirque du Soleil or the Ringling Brothers.”

According to Henderson, the group will do a lot of improvisation with dancing and many unexpected, physical tricks. Live music is also played throughout the performance.

Featured on “America’s Got Talent” in 2011, Traces

is anything but ordinary, and the technicality and precision of the physical tricks is amazing.

“It’s really difficult, actually,” Henderson said. “We all stay in shape. But for the 90 minutes we’re onstage, we have to do not only one acrobatic number but many. It’s pretty intense.”

Henderson began taking after-school circus classes every other day in San Francisco when he was only 8 years old.

“When I started out, I wasn’t taking it as seriously as I should’ve. Then after high school, I moved to Montreal and began to dive in and start to make this my profession,” Henderson said.

As a member of the original Traces troupe, Henderson has been a part of the show for roughly seven years.

“I just kind of got hooked.

The adrenaline rush you get when you perform and the people you meet while

traveling is really amazing,” Henderson said. “Every single time we perform the show, I feel proud to show it off.”

The show was only a sixmonth creation at first, according to Henderson.

Slowly, it became a yearlong work-in-progress show until it transformed to the show that tours the world today and is on its third cast.

“We had to do a lot of work on our acting skills because we all pretty much sucked as actors,” Henderson said. “So, we worked on that, and we aim to make it more than just doing tricks, which is the traditional circus style.”

According to Henderson, anyone will enjoy this unique, high-energy performance.

“The show is really designed so people of all ages will enjoy it,” Henderson said. “There are some childish moments but also some really intense and

darker moments in the show, and it’s got so many acrobatic tricks that it’s hard for people to ignore.

We try to make it really touching on a human level for everyone in the audience and to really leave a ‘trace’ on them.”

Traces features creative direction by 7 Fingers and direction and choreography by Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider.

Traces is performed by Mason Amens, Valerie Beniot-Charbonneau, Mathieu Cloutier, Henderson, Phillipe Normand-Jenny, Xia Zhenggi and Florian Zumkehr.

Tickets are $28 for WVU students and can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Box Offices or by phone at 304-293-SHOW. Pricing starts at $38 for non-students, and there is a $5-off deal for children under the age of 12. aroundthetownchicago.com

‘Nintendo Land’ is a digital park worth visiting

gengame.net

Nintendo characters come to life in ‘Nintendo Land.’

Jamie Carbone A&E Writer

Nintendo’s latest console is off to a slow start.

The Wii U only has one real flagship title with “New Super Mario Bros U,” and with “Pikmin 3’s” release date still unknown, the console is still working to find solid ground.

Still, there are games worth trying out, with “Nintendo Land” leading the pack as a tease of things to come.

“Nintendo Land” is a dig-

ital theme park based on some of Nintendo’s largest properties, such as “Legend of Zelda,” “Super Mario Bros.” and “Metroid.”

Each series features its own section in the park, where there are minigames with a unique style of gameplay reminiscent of the virtual world that inspired it.

There are three kinds of modes as well, depending on the world selected: coop, competitive and solo.

Co-op and competitive allow for multiplayer action, while the solo attractions are all single player.

The solo areas of Nin-

tendo Land, while entertaining in small doses, can get old fast. The real meat and potatoes of this game is playing with friends.

For example, the “Legend of Zelda” section of the park plays like a rail shooter where players take on the role of Link, the hero of the series. They must defeat as many monsters as they can on their way to rescue the Triforce, each level featuring a new area and foes to defeat.

This, among other levels, doesn’t contain a real story, but if you have a few other friends, it can be a lot

of fun as you work together to save the day.

The competitive games are similar in that most people will work together, but in each of them, one player will play the role of the villain.

In Luigi’s Ghost Mansion, an area inspired by “Luigi’s Mansion,” one player will take on the role of a ghost while the others rip off “Ghostbusters” with Mario characters, hunting that one player down and trying to avoid being spooked by him.

It makes for a lot of anxiety, rage screaming and

fun.

“Nintendo Land” requires only one player to use the Wii U’s tablet controller, allowing everyone else to use Wii remotes.

This does give the tablet user an edge over everyone else, but when it comes to the competitive games, they need it.

Still, it seems like “Nintendo Land” doesn’t take full advantage of Nintendo’s properties. There is no “Pokemon”-inspired world, something that seems like it could have had a lot of potential, especially since the solo areas could’ve been

jettisoned in exchange for it.

Still, “Nintendo Land” comes free for those who bought the Deluxe version of the Wii U – honestly the only version worth buying right now – so to not take advantage of that would be a shame.

Until a new “Mario Party” gets released, this is definitely one of the best ways to play video games with friends.

Grammy gatecrasher and reporter says stunt was ‘spontaneous’ LOS ANGELES (AP)— The man who was arrested after attempting to upstage Adele at Sunday’s Grammy Awards has a new message for the singer: “help me.”

Vitalii Sediuk says his appearance onstage at the Grammys was a spontaneous event and that he is only now realizing that it might have legal consequences for him. The Ukrainian journalist, who did not have a ticket to the awards show, spent several hours in police custody before being released with a trespassing citation and a March 4 court date.

Sediuk briefly took the microphone Sunday night before Adele accepted her

award. He only got a few words out before Jennifer Lopez shooed him away.

“It was spontaneous,” Sediuk said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “It was not planned of course” He said he realizes now that he may be banned from covering award shows, which would be problematic for a reporter who’s already got a reputation for awkward celebrity encounters. Last year, Will Smith slapped Sediuk, 24, after he tried to kiss him on a red carpet, and he drew Madonna’s ire a year earlier by presenting her a bouquet of flowers she hated.

He said he hopes that Adele, who called Lopez her

“good luck charm” at Sunday’s show, will help him out of his latest mess.

“Oh Adele. Help me not to go to jail,” Sediuk said.

He said he arrived at the show in a car that had access to the red carpet, and he did a few interviews before attempting to follow Nicole Kidman into the show. She stopped to talk to reporters and he then followed in Katy Perry— all without a guard ever stopping him to ask for a ticket. Once inside, he got a seat near the stage, apparently taking Adam Levine’s seat.

“I didn’t really think about the fact that I didn’t have the ticket,” he said.

Publicists for the Grammys did not return email messages about security at the event. The show received additional police protection due to the ongoing hunt for ex-officer Christopher Dorner, who is suspected of three killings and has stated a desire to target police and their families.

Los Angeles police said Sediuk was arrested by private security who were responsible for making sure those at the show belonged.

Sediuk said he had to get creative because he didn’t get a media credential for the show. Before going onstage, Sediuk said he had been daydreaming about receiving an

Academy Award. He also said he wanted to be able to send in an interesting report. The incident is unlikely to shock those who know Sediuk, he said. “It was not a surprise to them.”

He said he hopes the incident exposes some security flaws. “It’s their fault as well,” he said.

In addition to being slapped by Smith, Sediuk garnered attention for giving Madonna a bouquet of hydrangeas at the 2011 Venice Film Festival. The actresssinger promptly stashed them under a table, declaring, “I absolutely loathe hydrangeas.”

Lopez looked less than

pleased but remained composed during the incident Sunday. Sediuk’s stunt went largely unnoticed until his arrest was first reported Monday night by The Hollywood Reporter.

“Like Adele said, she’s her good luck charm,” Lopez’s publicist Mark Young wrote in an email Tuesday.

Publicists for Adele and Levine didn’t return messages seeking comment.

Sediuk said that he was initially excited about the whole incident, but he is now more apprehensive about the prospect of going to court. He still thinks the stunt was worth it.

“I don’t regret doing anything,” he said.
