Wine bar gives Morgantown taste of Italy by shelby toompas staff writer
As new restaurants and bars continue to open in the heart of a college town, Morgantown’s Vintner Valley brings patrons a taste of Italy at their convenience: The Wine Bar. Since its grand opening Dec. 14, The Wine Bar has continued to draw in a weekly crowd. General Manager Lysa Lockwood said there are six local owners of The Wine Bar and they are all businessmen and women of Morgantown. “With Vintner Reserve and the valley being right here, I think they wanted a convenient place where people could come to Vintner Valley and enjoy their company over a glass of wine, “ Lockwood said. The inspiration for The Wine Bar started with a picture from San Giovanni in Fiore, southern Italy, and currently hangs for guests to admire. “The picture was actually taken from a wine cellar in Italy,” she said. “All the pictures that are in The Wine Bar have been taken in Italy during trips by the owners.” Guests not only feel like they’re in Italy by the pictures, but the interior brick walls, double-sided fireplace, informal seating arrangements and the menu help make individuals feel welcome in a relaxing, adult atmosphere. Senior chemical engineering student David Bonazza said he believes The Wine Bar is a great place to go relax with a favorite wine or try new wines from across the country. “The elegant mix of artisanal meats and cheeses
washed down with topnotch wine provides an amazing experience that brings the Tuscan countryside straight to our great city of Morgantown,” Bonazza said. The Wine Bar also features approximately 30 craft beers by the bottle as well as aged to young wine from Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa, the United States and many more. “We will soon be getting a new software to replace our paper menus that will help individuals order food that pairs well with a certain wine and vice versa,” Lockwood said. “Each server will have the new electronic menu (that) will also display a little history about each of our beer and wines.” For instance, Lockwood said, the beer Chimay Blue is an authentic Trappist beer brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery under the responsibility of community monks, whose revenue is devoted towards social service. “We try to accommodate to every pallet and give people a variety of new things to try,” she said. “Hopefully, guests will be able to learn more about the origin or brewery of wine or beer that they select.” The Wine Bar’s unique dining menu includes its hand-picked meat and cheese platters with olives and crackers, olive oil and bread, salsa de parmigiano spread, stuffed banana peppers, bruschetta, pizza and salads as well tasteful desserts such as cheese cake and a milk or
West Virginia University’s Corey Farris is paying it forward. Wednesday, Vice President of Student Affairs Ken Gray announced Farris had been named dean of students at WVU. Farris will serve as a liaison between students, the University administrators and community officials. As dean of students, he
will also handle student issues such as discipline, student support and overall guidance. “I meet regularly with students. I’m always looking to find out what’s on their minds – what’s going well and not so well,” Farris said. “As WVU continues to move forward and reach the goals of its 2020 strategic plan, I will continue to represent and help advance our student body.” Advocating for students
is nothing new to Farris. Farris received a bachelor’s degree from WVU in business administration in 1981. During his time as a student at WVU, Farris said he served as a resident assistant and was involved with the new student orientations. After graduation, Farris continued his education at Ohio State University. Upon returning to WVU, Farris served in various
roles in which he had the opportunity to again be a voice for the students. “Once I returned to WVU, I was the coordinator of new student orientation, then I worked with undergraduate recruiting, then I worked on the residence life side. I worked with student conduct and student discipline,and then I moved back into the director of housing,” he said.

“Freggie Day” brings students recipes, games and samples of healthy food By Summer Ratcliff Staff writer
The West Virginia University WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health hosted “Freggie Day” to kick off its eatWELL initiative that will continue through the months of January and February. WVU Dining Services provided free fruits and vegetables for students during lunch hours Thursday. In addition to the healthy foods, eatWELL games and activity stations were set up for students to have the opportunity to learn more about making healthy food choices. According to WELLWVU, it’s important to eat a balanced diet. However, with a tight student budget and a lack of knowledge of healthy foods, it isn’t always an easy task to ensure they are getting those much needed fruits and veggies. Shannon Foster, a representative of the Office of Wellness and Health Promotion, was on hand to provide students a better understanding of what they should be looking for when going into a grocery store. patrick gorrell/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
“Freggie Day” offered students healthy snacks in the Mountainlair, such as the carrots and celery pictured above.

It’s an Olympic competition, but the focus isn’t sports; it’s sustainability. The sixth annual Ecolympics competition came to a close yesterday with the presentation of final awards. The Ecolympics is a competition at West Virginia University that challenges residence halls, campus buildings and individuals
to recycle and conserve energy during the course of one month. The buildings and individuals with the highest scores receive awards for their efforts. “We like to raise awarenss with students and staff about what daily habits they can change to be friendlier to the environment, to save money, to really consider the environment, economics and lifestyle when

spoke with students about smart decisions when eating at a fast food establishment. “Eating fast food is sometimes a necessity, however there are some available options that are healthier than others,” Foster said. “For example, if you are going to Chick-fil-a, choosing the chargrilled chicken sandwich with a side of fruit is the best option.”
Jessica Ames, a junior secondary education student, said she enjoyed all that WELLWVU had to offer at “Freggie Day.” “As students we can’t afford to eat healthy on a frequent basis, so we really appreciate things like this,” Ames said. “It was great to learn that doing little things like ordering a fruit cup instead of fries or getting a
sandwich without mayo can really help.” World languages, literatures and linguistics student Lucy Sutton said she also found the games and activities to be enjoyable and beneficial. While participating in one of the eatWELL activities, she was given a healthy recipe. “I got a recipe card for black bean salsa, so I’m
pretty excited to try that out,” Sutton said. WELLWVU will be hosting three additional “Freggie Days” and other eatWELL events during the spring semester. To find out more information on upcoming dates and times, visit the WELLWVU website www.well.wvu.edu.
Bonazza said he’s excited to delve deeper and learn about and taste new wines. “I am used to drinking more common wines and was pleased to see the large variety The Wine Bar makes available to the customer,” Bonazza said. “I am excited to start expanding my palate by going back and tasting more exotic and foreign flavors.” In the very near future, The Wine Bar hopes to be able to offer wine tastings to help educate everyone on wines and food pairings, Lockwood said. “It has been so fun meeting local people from Morgantown that enjoy wine,” she said. “So far, our customers have been a great mixture of both students and adults.”
Even though The Wine Bar at Vintner Valley is not a chain, there is always hope for a second location in the future, Lockwood said. The Wine Bar at Vintner Valley does not take any reservations at this time, but does have open-seating and a free valet service. “It has definitely been a privilege working with all of the owners and the staff,” Lockwood said. “A lot of the staff attends WVU, and we couldn’t have done it without them. We have a marvelous team, and everyone feels like family.” To learn more about The Wine Bar, visit www.vintnervalley.com, or like the Facebook and Twitter page for updates and specials.
individuals category, journalism student Sarah Cordonier won first place. By attending learning events, volunteering and participating in sustainability activities hosted around campus, Cordonier perpetuated valuable lessons she learned in her youth. “I’ve grown up in a household that recycled everything,” she said. “My mother throws virtually nothing away, from tennis shoes, textiles, paper and
plastic.” She said some students at WVU are much different. “Being in college, it’s a little frustrating to see so many students who don’t recycle anything, and I think it’s due to pure laziness because this campus makes it easy to recycle.” Cordonier said she chose to participate in the competition to make herself a role model for other students. “I try to get involved, so I can encourage others to recycle,” she said. “I try to promote the positive things recycling plants can do for the earth and our
daily lives.” Dean Robison approved of her effort. “The institution is composed of individuals, and the work is done by individuals collectively,” he said. The individual award exemplifies that hard work, he said. “It’s a recognition that we all have to do our part. If we don’t, we’re not going to get where we need to be.” To learn more about sustainability at WVU, visit wecan.wvu.edu.

He is an advocate for students and works hard to support their academic and personal success,” Gray said. “He works well with staff, faculty and the community to ensure that our students have a supportive and inclusive campus, which enhances their ability to learn inside and outside of the classroom.” Farris’ duties will begin immediately.

Really and truly, I’ve always tried to maintain that front-line student one-onone, face-to-face, ‘I’ll talk to you about anything’ kind of relationship. People took time to do that for me, and it guided me, molded me and made me into what I am today.” Farris said as the University continues to look toward the future, he is excited to continue to build new relationships with students as they jour-

“I’ve done a bunch of different things. To be honest, it helped me build some great relationships with people all across campus.

When I was a student at WVU, I was heavily involved in clubs and organizations,” he said. “Because there were so many people that were good role models and were giants in my life, it helped move me along in my life and helped support me when I was struggling in school or when I was doing well in school.

Dutch, Britons, Germans warned to leave Benghazi
President Mohammed el-Megarif, center, visits the U.S. Consulate to express sympathy for the death of the American ambassador, Chris Stevens, and his colleagues in the deadly attack on the Consulate Tuesday, Sept. 11, in Benghazi, Libya. LONDON (AP) — Britain, Germany and the Netherlands urged their citizens to immediately leave the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi Thursday, warning of an imminent threat against Westerners days after a deadly hostage crisis in neighboring Algeria. European officials told The Associated Press that schools were among the potential targets. The warnings came a day after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton testified to Congress about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. They also came as French troops battled al-Qaida-linked militants in the West African nation of Mali, and followed the deaths of at least 37 foreign hostages seized by Islamist extremists in Algeria. It was unclear if those two events were linked to the latest concerns about Libya. The foreign ministries of the three European countries issued statements de-
scribing the threat as specific and imminent but none would elaborate. The U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya’s capital far to the west of Benghazi, said there was “no specific information pointing to specific, imminent threats against U.S. citizens.” With a population of 1 million, Benghazi is Libya’s second-largest city and where the Libyan uprising against longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi began in February 2011. Gadhafi was eventually toppled and killed after NATO backed the rebel movement, and the Arab country has since struggled with increasing insecurity. Al-Qaida-linked militants operate in Libya alongside other Islamist groups, and the country is awash in weapons looted from Gadhafi’s many military depots. Schools, businesses and offices of non-governmental organizations were among the possible targets, according to two European officials familiar with the threats. They spoke to the AP on con-
dition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be quoted by name in the media. They refused to give any other details. Violence in Benghazi has targeted both foreigners as well as Libyan officials in recent months, with assassinations, bombings and other attacks. It was not immediately clear how many people were affected by the European warnings. Britain’s Foreign Office said “dozens” of its citizens were in the city, while Dutch spokesman Thijs van Son said four Dutch citizens were registered there, and possibly two more were in the city. A German Foreign Ministry official, who requested anonymity because government policy did not allow him to be quoted by name, said “very few” Germans were in Benghazi. Several countries have for months advised against all travel to the city, especially after the U.S. mission was attacked. Residents say many foreigners had already left in recent weeks. Air Malta canceled Thurs-
day’s flights between the Mediterranean island and Benghazi following the British advice, but said flights to Tripoli were not affected. The airline said its next flight to Benghazi was scheduled for Tuesday, adding that it will keep reviewing the situation. Adel Mansouri, principal of the International School of Benghazi, said U.K. and foreign citizens were warned in the last few days about a possible threat to Westerners. He said the school’s teachers were given the option of leaving but decided to stay. The school has some 540 students. Most are Libyan, with some 40 percent holding dual nationality. Less than 5 percent are British, while 10 to 15 students have U.S.-Libyan nationality, he said. Classes were not due to resume until Sunday because of a holiday Thursday. “We told the British ambassador we are staying, and we’ll be in touch,” said Mansouri, who has both Libyan and British citizenship. “We don’t see a threat on the
ground.” Saleh Gawdat, a Benghazi lawmaker, said French doctors working in the city’s hospitals have left and the French cultural center was closed over concerns about potential retaliation for the French-led military intervention against Islamist militants in Mali, which began two weeks ago. In addition to the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission, an Italian diplomat’s car was fired on by militants in Benghazi earlier this month. The consul, Guido De Sanctis, wasn’t injured but the attack prompted Italy to suspend its consular activities and send its foreign staff home. Islamist extremists in the area are often blamed for targeting security officials who once worked under Gadhafi, taking revenge for those who tortured or imprisoned them in the past. Many residents also accuse Gadhafi loyalists of trying to undermine Libya’s new leaders by sowing violence. Fawzi Wanis, head of the Supreme Security Com-
ap
mittee in Benghazi, said he did not know of an imminent threat, but “in general it is possible that something happens” in connection to Mali. Ibrahim Sahd, a Benghazi-based lawmaker and politician, said the new government is putting together a plan to beef up security in the city and this “might have caused the Westerners to worry about a backlash.” Noman Benotman, a former Libyan jihadist with links to al-Qaida who is now an analyst at London’s Quilliam Foundation, said other groups inspired by the terror network have been gaining a following in Libya since Gadhafi’s fall. There have been nearly a dozen attacks against Western targets in Libya recently, he said. “It’s the same al-Qaida ideology that is driving these militants,” Benotman said. Oil companies working in other parts of Libya said they were aware of the European warnings to foreign citizens in Benghazi but said there were no immediate plans for evacuations.
Cameron: I don’t want a country called Europe DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron wants nothing to do with a United States of Europe, an idea that’s gaining currency as the countries that use the euro struggle to fix their debt crisis. But what if it’s a choice between a single country called Europe or a splintered continent? Cameron is determined to avoid that scary scenario. A day after he shook up Europe’s political landscape by offering British citizens the prospect of a vote on whether to stay in the 27-country European Union, Cameron insisted Thursday he wants Britain to remain a part of the bloc but that more unification would not be the answer. “To try and shoehorn countries into a centralized political union would be a great mistake, and Britain would not be a part of it,” he said at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos. In an interview with The Associated Press afterward, Cameron insisted said he wanted to make Europe “more open, competitive, flexible – so that we can secure Britain’s place within it.” “I think it is eminently achievable,” he said. Many in the EU, particularly among the 17 countries that use the euro, are on a drive for closer political unification, and that’s raised particular concerns recently in Britain, which has often viewed the bloc through a business prism. “If you mean that Europe has to be a political union, a country called Europe, then I disagree,” said Cameron. On Wednesday, Cameron put an end to months of speculation by revealing he intends to hold a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, if he wins the next general election, expected in 2015.
But many politicians in Europe think closer political ties are exactly what is needed to maintain continental unity in the face of a debt crisis that’s laid bare fundamental flaws in the euro. The European Union, which last year won the Nobel Peace Prize, effectively started amid the rubble of World War II – the motivation to avoid future wars. Some even think Europe’s end-game has to be to resemble the United States of America. Countries would be so tied together in their economic and social fabric to make war inconceivable. After decades of bit-by-bit integration, the links are now so tight that many European leaders refuse to publicly acknowledge that a British exit is a possibility. Several accuse Cameron of putting the bloc at risk to deal with domestic political problems. His Conservative Party has a hardcore element that is highly skeptical of the EU, while an anti-EU party, the UK Independence Party, is gaining ground in the polls most notably at the expense of Cameron’s Conservatives. Italian Premier Mario Monti said Britain should set aside ideology and look at its membership in the EU with “pragmatism, which should be a British attitude of mind.” He argued that Britons, for all their hostility to EU regulations and bureaucracy, benefit so much from the single market that they would be scared to leave – a ready access to markets and over half a billion people would be a gamble too far. Most of British business appears to want to stay in the EU but out of the integrationist drive – but the question is whether that can be achieved. “The vast majority of businesses across the UK want to stay in the single market, but on the basis of a revised re-
lationship ... that promotes trade and competitiveness,” said John Langworth of the British Chambers of Commerce. He was among 56 British business leaders who issued a public letter to the Times of London on Thursday complaining about demands from Brussels and calling for “a more competitive, flexible and prosperous European Union that would bring more jobs and growth for all member states.” Growth is certainly something that Europe is craving. The eurozone as a whole is in recession and figures Friday are expected to show the British economy, the EU’s third-largest, halfway back Ap to its third recession in four German chancellor Angela Merkel, right, talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron during the World Economic years. Open Europe, a London- Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Thursday. based think tank, says that 48 percent of the UK’s goods and services exports are to the EU. The single market keeps down the cost for Britons of doing business with the EU as well as the price of goods imported from the EU for purchase by ordinary British citizens. Membership gives British citizens the right to live and work anywhere in the EU – unlike citizens of other countries, who must seek complicated and often hardto-get residency and work permits.

‘Festival of Ideas’ continues to impress Last night, West Virginia University alumnus, former student body president and retired WVU College of Law professor Jack Bowman spoke to the WVU community about Abraham Lincoln and the creation of the state of West Virginia. Bowman’s fascinating lecture was the latest event in WVU’s year-round David C. Hardesty Festival of Ideas. The Festival of Ideas was started in 1995 with
the intent of providing WVU students with valuable learning opportunities outside of the traditional classroom. Since then, the lecture series, which has always been free and open to the public, has steadily provided the WVU community with opportunities to hear from some of the world’s brightest minds. Throughout the years, the event has featured a
number of exceptional personalities, and this year is no different. Students should take advantage of this unique opportunity and attend as many of these lectures as possible. The next event in the series is a talk by Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey and prominent Democratic leader who is expected to assume a significant leadership role on the national stage
in the coming years. This event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 7. In March, renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham will speak in Charleston as part of the festival. Meacham is currently a contributing editor at TIME magazine and had previously served as editor-in-chief of Newsweek. His most recent book is the best-selling “Thomas Jef-
ferson: The Art of Power.” The final installment of the Festival of Ideas for this year features Dr. Scott Tinker, the director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Tinker will present the award-winning documentary he coproduced and narrated regarding energy use and production. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

College athletes deserve to be paid Chris Nyden columnist
In the face of increased scrutiny of major college football programs, a couple of coaches have left their schools for the greener pastures of the NFL. Before a report on the University of Southern California’s infractions was released in early 2010, coach Pete Carroll decided to resign his position at USC and take a job as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, amidst an NCAA investigation of his program, University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly resigned and took his new job as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL. These moves leave the coaches with no punishment. They are perfectly legal, yet they are clearly unethical. Worse, the ones left to face punishment are often the players. USC was unable to participate in postseason play and was docked 30 scholarships from 2010-2011 after star running back Reggie Bush accepted payment from boosters. Oregon players may face infractions as soon as it has been made clear there was tampering with former Oregon recruit and current Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk. Clearly, the NCAA needs to re-evaluate its priorities. But a more direct question for these issue remains: should college athletes be paid? The NCAA has profited greatly from these same athletes it penalizes. In 2010, a 14-year, $10.8 billion deal was reached with CBS to televise March Madness. Deals like this make it clear that college athletics is very much a market economy. However, when it comes to the actual players, or laborers, their contributions are all viewed the exact same.

not always work out that way. Pat White and Da’Sean Butler are two players who will always be remembered for what they gave to WVU. White was 34-8 as starting quarterback for WVU, including four bowl game wins and two BCS wins. Butler led the Mountaineers to the Final Four in 2010 before being placed on the SecondTeam All-American roster. Both players were selected in the second round of their prospective drafts. Today, Pat White wants to return to the NFL after a failed attempt the first time around, and Butler is now a graduate assistant on Bob Huggins’ staff. These players brought millions to the University, yet they currently
are not playing their sports. They provided memories for Mountaineers fans for years to come, but their professional careers just did not quite pan out. The nature of professional sports is that the vast majority of careers are short. A player may only be among the best players on the planet for a short amount of time, or an injury might derail a promising career. This provides all the more reason that student-athletes should be paid according to their value while we still can. Accepting this current system of benefiting athletic administrators and the shot-callers in the NCAA is nothing less than supporting exploitation.
Students should do better job of turning out for ‘Festival of Ideas’ david perry columnist
The mayor of Newark, N.J., Cory Booker, is probably the platonic ideal of a leader in the modern age. When he first came into office, Newark was one of the most crime-ridden cities in America. In the first two years under the leadership of Mayor Booker, the murder rate dropped by 30 percent, the auto theft rate dropped by 26 percent, and the rape rate dropped by 30 percent. Booker’s comprehensive approach to crime prevention involved the cooperation of police, whose shifts were moved to times during which more crime is likely to take place, and the citizens of Newark, who were encouraged to report crimes to the various programs Booker helped
DA
implement. Mayor Booker’s reforms have also extended to education. Supported by Mark Zuckerberg’s $100 million dollar “challenge grant” for Newark’s school system, Mayor Booker’s administration has been actively seeking out and experimenting with new ideas to help improve education in the city of Newark, with an eye toward implementing successful techniques in inner city school systems around the nation. Mayor Booker keeps a high public profile as a prolific Twitter user, using the social media platform to connect with the people of Newark in a personal manner. He’s smart, ambitious and engaged, and his political star will probably continue to rise. Why do I bring this all up? Not because I think Mayor Booker is a cool dude, but because as a WVU student,
you will have the opportunity to see Booker, one of the nation’s brightest young leaders, deliver a presentation as a part of the WVU Festival of Ideas series on Feb. 7. The Festival of Ideas was founded in 1995 by former WVU president David Hardesty, Jr. Since then, the Festival of Ideas has hosted some of the best and brightest innovators and thinkers this country has to offer, in a wide array of subject matter. Interested in sports? The WVU and NBA legend Jerry West was interviewed by Athletic Director Oliver Luck following the publication of his biography, My Life, as a part of the series. Love rap and hip-hop? Professor Cornell West, one of the foremost scholars on African-American culture in America and a brilliant, engaging orator, gave a lecture on Hip-Hop, Law and
Culture. Are you a Facebook or Twitter addict? Ariana Huffington of the popular aggregator Huffington Post spoke as a part of the series, and a panel of experts discussed the impact of social media on the Arab Spring revolutions in yet another event hosted by the Festival of Ideas. There are also lectures on business, history, science, entertainment, and philanthropy. There is literally a presentation for everyone. My first exposure to the Festival of Ideas was when I was asked to cover the presentation given by Charles Best, founder of Donorschoose.org, a philanthropic organization designed to lighten the burden on teachers by allowing donors to pick worthwhile projects to fund. I was disappointed when I went to interview a student about their reaction to the lecture
Robert DiClerico speaks during a Festival of Ideas lecture last year. and counted 20 students at most in the audience. Best’s presentation was funny, engaging and worthwhile, but only a few were able to hear his message. Attending a large public school like WVU gives you the opportunity to experience things you’d normally never have the chance to experience.

Take advantage of these opportunities while you still can. Pick one or two of the Festival of Ideas’ events that interest you and go to them. I promise you, the quality of the speakers and presentations will not be lacking. After all, your education at WVU goes way beyond what you learn in class.

DAILY HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you often juggle different views, feelings and thoughts. You wonder whether to do what you feel or do what you think. Others are attracted to you, as clearly you are a people-person. Your charisma is high this year, too. If you are single, there is a constant flow of potential suitors. Know that there always are more just around the corner! If you are attached, a newfound intensity emerges, especially if you defer to your sweetie. LEO is proud. Be careful -- do not offend him or her. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You could encounter a misunderstanding or a problematic situation. If you let yourself get sucked into it, it could ruin a creative moment. Communication accelerates, as your personal life weaves into your professional life. Don’t worry -- you can handle it. Tonight: Let the fun begin. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH What you thought about doing today just might not happen. Others’ demands or interests very well could distract you. You might feel a need to turn your attention elsewhere. Friends and loved ones do appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Speak you mind, but realize that not everyone has a similar opinion. Be open to other ideas or to someone else putting down what you believe to be a nugget of wisdom.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH A little reticence disappears quickly. You could make a big deal out of a problem, or you could decide to let it go. Others are only too happy to meet with you, both professionally and personally. You don’t need to make something a bigger issue than it is. Tonight: Prime time! VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Honor your energy level. If you feel discouraged by a conversation or a situation, try not to give it to much attention, especially as there is little you can do until later. Get into a project that involves interacting less with others. Tonight: Make plans, but keep them low-key. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You might have the best intentions and want to keep a meeting all business, yet you might discover a problem. Acknowledge what is going on behind the scenes. You might not even have a choice, as it is obvious that someone intrigues you. Tonight: TGIF! You need a break. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH When others flake out, who steps up to the plate?

Ten surefire hit movies worth a trip to the theater in 2013
ftmovie.com
Fan-favorite news anchor Ron Burgundy returns in 2013 in ‘Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.’
by nick wesdock & Laura Ciarolla a&e Staff
The 2012 movie season was one for the books. Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers� swept box offices last summer, and the end of the year brought successes like “Django: Unchained� and “The Hobbit.� Recently we’ve entered the after-holiday lull, during which the bottommost rung of movies are released, like “A Haunted House� and yet another remake of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.� It may seem hopeless now, but don’t worry: another year of excellent film lies ahead. Here are a few titles to look forward to in 2013: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness,’ May 17 When “Star Trek� was first released in 2009, moviegoers loved almost everything about it. The actors were perfectly chosen, and the story was enthralling. Since then, audiences have been excited to see what J.J. Abrams and the rest of the crew will bring to the next movie. Perhaps the most anticipated aspect of the movie is Benedict Cumberbatch’s character entering the scene. Many fans are speculating whether or not Cumberbatch’s character will be Khan, a villain from the original series, but it has yet to be revealed. ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,’ Nov. 22 It’s tough to say for sure, but “Catching Fire� may be my favorite book of Su-
zanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games� trilogy. After the success of the first movie, I’m confident this book-to-movie transition will be handled just as well. “Catching Fire� follows Katniss’ story after the Hunger Games have ended. She knew President Snow would make her pay for her insolence during the first games, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon. The Quarter Quell brings Katniss, Peeta and winners from other past games to compete in an ultimate battle against one another. This time they’re all skilled, they’ve all won before, and the “game� is that much harder. ‘The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,’ March 15 The biggest draw for this movie is its all-star cast. Any comedy starring Will Ferrell and Steve Carell together is worth seeing, but this seems like it will be a genuinely good movie. Las Vegas magicians Burt Wonderstone (Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) split after years of working together. Left on his own, Burt is losing popularity, and the appearance of new street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) makes matters even worse. Burt is forced to turn to his childhood idol, magician Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin), for direction as he attempts to regain his standing and convince Anton to rejoin the partnership.
‘Carrie,’ Oct. 18 Steven King’s “Carrie� has become a cult favorite since its 1976 release. I don’t always think horror film remakes are a good idea, but if done well, this story can be timeless. The movie follows the story of an extremely shy, sheltered girl whose high school peers torment her relentlessly. When Carrie finally snaps, however, she discovers she possesses telekinetic power and exacts revenge on the entire town. Chloe Grace Moretz (“Kick-Ass,� “Let Me In�) is the major reason I’m excited for this movie. If anyone has a chance to match Sissy Spacek’s original performance, it’s her. Julianne Moore is also an exciting addition to the cast, as she plays Carrie’s mother in the film. ‘Monsters University,’ June 21 Amid all the dramatic action and horror 2013 has to offer, this sequel to Disney’s “Monsters, Inc.� will be a welcome reprieve. “Monsters University� takes audiences back 10 years before the original story, when Mike and Sulley first meet at the University of Fear. However, we’ll find out they weren’t always the best of friends. In fact, the two used to be rivals within their shared fraternity. A number of famous actors lent their voices to this film, including John Goodman and Billy Crystal, who reprise their roles as Sulley and Mike, respectively,
as well as Steve Buscemi, Frank Oz and the addition of Kelsey Grammer as Henry J. Waternoose III. ‘The Great Gatsby,’ May 10 Following his latest controversial yet noteworthy role in “Django Unchained,� Leonardo DiCaprio will return to the big screen as a much different character – Jay Gatsby. Toby Maguire (“SpiderMan�) and Carey Mulligan (“Drive,� “An Education�) star alongside DiCaprio in director Baz Lurhmann’s adaptation of the classic American novel “The Great Gatsby.� For those who aren’t familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, it is narrated by main character Nick Carraway, new neighbor of mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. Lurhmann has created “his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story,� according to the film’s Warner Brothers website. ‘Fast 6,’ May 24 Whether you are a fan of the “Fast and the Furious� series or not, get used to seeing the gang on the big screen. The sixth installment of the Universal Studios franchise is set to be released May 24, and star Vin Diesel has already confirmed a seventh movie. Director Justin Lin did an incredible job with “Fast 5� and is looking to hit it big again with the next movie. Rumors of a cameo appearance by Jason Statham appear to be
false, according to Screenrant.com, but the original crew is back, including Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne “The Rock� Johnson, Tyrese Gibson and Michelle Rodriguez. ‘Man of Steel,’ June 14 “Man of Steel� is getting quite a lot of publicity preceding its scheduled June 14 release date. Zack Snyder directed the latest “Superman� movie with the help of producer Christopher Nolan (“The Dark Night,� “Inception�). Henry Cavill (“The Tudors,� “Immortals�) takes the lead role as superman, but is supported by Russell Crowe (“Gladiator,� “Robin Hood�), who plays Jor-El, Kevin Costner (“The Guardian,� “Field of Dreams�) as Jonathan Kent and Amy Adams (“The Fighter,� “Enchanted�) as Lois Lane. ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,’ Dec. 13 Almost exactly one year after the release of “The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey,� part two of the trilogy will make its way into local theatres. Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and company will return to action in “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.� Screenwriter and coproducer Philippa Boyens told Entertainment Weekly a little bit of what to expect in the rest of the “Halfling’s� journey. “The dragon is a huge, wonderful, amazing part of the story, but it doesn’t end there,� Boyens said. “Everyone can suspect there’s
a rather large battle in film three.� ‘Anchorman: The Legend Continues,’ Dec. 20 One of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory and definitely of 2013 has to be the longawaited “Anchorman: The Legend Continues.� “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy� was released in 2004 and has left many fans craving more of the outrageous news anchor, played by Will Ferrell (“Old School,� “Step Brothers�). Ferrell collaborated with director Adam Mckay to create the first “Anchorman� film, and he will be doing the same for the sequel. The actor first announced the second movie during a surprise guest appearance on the late-night comedy show “Conan� last year. “I want to announce this to everyone here in the Americas,� Ferrell said, who was actually in character as Burgundy. “To my friends in Spain, Turkey and the U.K. – including England – as of 0900 Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel for ‘Anchorman.’ It is official, there will be a sequel to ‘Anchorman.’� Paul Rudd will return as Brian Fantana, Steve Carell as Brick Tamland, David Koechner as Champ Kind and Christina Applegate as Veronica Corningstone. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
Progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria impresses with latest release josh ewers a&e writer
Progressive rockers Coheed and Cambria recently released their latest album, “The Afterman: Ascension,�
via Hundred Handed/Everything Evil. No one mixes science fiction and progressive rock quite like Coheed and Cambria. You might remember this New York-based quartet with a penchant for writing sprawling, in-depth concept
albums for their most popular singles, “Welcome Home,� “The Suffering,� “A Favor House Atlantic� and “Blood Red Summer.� While many fans from the band’s heyday have come and gone, Coheed and Cambria have cranked out several albums in the time since
the critically acclaimed “Welcome Home� was released in 2005. On the whole “The Afterman: Ascension� is a showcase of the band’s vision and ability to craft a cohesive album. They have managed to retain all the spunkiness and charming oddity of their early work on “In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3,� due mostly in part to the trademark high-register melodies of vocalist Claudio Sanchez. However, if that album was the last time you checked in with the group, you should know that years of experience have the band steadily building mini-symphonies of alternative goodness. They build and flow like

movie scores, written with purposeful shifts in sound marked by tasteful transitions that still hold the musical themes of the songs together despite changing the mood. On its very first track, “The Afterman: Ascension� sets the scene for the story with a glimmering piano interlude, while two spaced-out voices converse, one of whom is referenced as “the all-mother.� I told you they liked sciencefiction, right? The band members’ versatility as songwriters is made quickly apparent. While the first track is a climatic tune draped in a sense of epic desperation, it’s followed up by title track “The Afterman,� a soothing ballad with a rippling guitar line, soft snare rolls and a relaxed vibe. Speaking of snare rolls, returning drummer Josh Eppard does an admirable job replacing a very talented percussionist in Chris Pennie. Eppard, not content to sit in the background and provide the beat while his band mates tell the story, varies minor details during grooves and adds creative fills which help to shape the musical narrative with impact. While it’s hard to find a band that mirrors their unique stylings, songs like “Goodnight, Fair Lady� do show a band doing a pretty damn good Rush impres-
sion, but Coheed isn’t afraid to get heavy, either. “Key Entity Extraction II� is blistering, especially by Coheed standards. It features a shout-along vocal line and register-bending chorus that might have earned it its single status – if radio rock weren’t completely dead, of course. This album definitely has a little something going for everyone – pop sensibilities, occasional heaviness, great singing, fantastic drumming and a nerd-scale sci-fi concept. It’s a solid album from top to bottom with moments of greatness. Most importantly, though, it’s an interesting listen in a world full of sound-alikes.

West Virginia University master’s graduate conductor Johnny Leornard, III will conduct a Wind Symphony concert tonight in the Creative Arts Center’s Gladys B. Knight Theatre. The show, which is assisted by members of WVU’s Symphony Orchestra, will begin at 6 p.m. “I am truly humbled and honored to have the privilege of working with the WVU Wind Symphony,” Leonard said. “It has given me the chance to grow as a conductor and work on some amazing repertoire with the talented musicians of this ensemble.” The program will include “Music for Seven Trumpets,” a piece composed by Evan Boegehold, a May 2011 graduate in composition from WVU. Since graduating, Boegehold has assumed a position studying composition and conducting at Central Michigan University. While Boegehold’s arrangement is sure to please the audience and provide a dose of WVU-bred talent, Leonard points to a different piece as his personal favorite. “Picking a favorite piece is tough because each work has something special to it,” Leonard said. “However, there is a special place in my heart for Eric Whitacre’s ‘Lux Aurumque.’”
Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque” is a beautifully calm and soothing offering, and the audience is sure to revel in its majesty. “The first time I heard it (‘Lux Aurumque’), it gave me goosebumps,” Leonard said. “Whether you are listening to it or performing the work, the tone colors, harmonies and pure lyrical emotion of the music create a gorgeous portrait of sound.” Also on tonight’s bill is “Andante Cantabile” by renowned composer Peter Tchaikovsky. Featuring peaks and valleys, swells and recessions, “Andante Cantabile” provides an emotional rollercoaster for the listener while remaining pleasant and tranquil for its duration. Like “Lux Aurumque” before it, this piece is certain to ease the audience’s mind and provide a mental and emotional escape into the world of music. A final highlighted piece from tonight’s concert is “Incantation and Dance” by John Barnes Chance. This composition is a standard in the wind band repertoire and has received critical acclaim for its rhythmic and melodic innovation. For those seeking a pacifying evening of sonic bliss, the Wind Symphony is guaranteed to please. The event is free and open to the public. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

NEW YORK (AP) — Serious theater fans have a reason to suddenly freak out: Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will team up on Broadway this fall in two of the most iconic plays of the 20th century. Producers announced Thursday that Stewart and McKellen will star in Harold Pinter’s “No Man’s Land” and Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” which will play in repertoire under the direction of Sean Mathias. The Broadway theater, performance dates, the two supporting actors and the schedule of performances will be announced later. Stewart and McKellen starred in a production of “Waiting for Godot” in London’s West End in 2009. Prior to Broadway, they’ll tackle “No Man’s Land” in an as-yetunspecified out-of-town tryout this summer. “What we tried to do, with so much effort, was make it real. Make them human beings, compassionate, funny, flawed and vulnerable and cocky – all the things human beings are,” Mathias said. “We never wanted to make it esoteric. I’m sure this is how we will approach the Pinter as well.” Stewart, 72, and McKellen, 73, first worked together in 1977 in Tom Stoppard’s “Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.” They’ve also starred in the “X-Men” movie franchise as Professor Xavier and Magneto. Stewart will play Vladimir in “Waiting for Godot” and Hirst in “No Man’s Land;” McKellen will play Estragon in “Waiting for Godot” and Spooner in “No Man’s Land.” “My main feeling is it’s lovely to be back with friends and it will be lovely to be back in New York,” said McKellen, who is doing a sit-com in England and next goes to Middle Earth to film scenes for “The
Hobbit” franchise. “But I’ve got an awful lot to do in the meantime.” McKellen made his Broadway debut in Aleksei Arbuzov’s “The Promise” in 1967 and won a Tony Award for his performance in “Amadeus” in 1981. His films include “Apt Pupil,” “Gods and Monsters” and “The Lord of the Rings.” Stewart, perhaps best known as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” first appeared on Broadway in Peter Brook’s production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in 1971 and has recently been in David Mamet’s “A Life in the Theatre” and “Macbeth.” Putting the Beckett and Pinter plays together in repertoire makes theatrical sense since both require four male actors and they both mine a surreal, witty vein. “Both plays play tricks with our memory, with time, with what time is,” said Mathias. “Both plays are dealing with a landscape of poetry, a landscape of psychology, a landscape that is both real and isn’t real. So there are incredible reverberations and resonances.” Stewart and McKellen will sink their teeth into Beckett and Pinter after spending the summer filming “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” Mathias, a Tony nominee in 1995 for “Indiscretions,” will be directing “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” on Broadway this spring. Now a thorny question: Who gets top billing on Broadway – McKellen or Stewart? After all, both actors have gotten knighthoods for their services to drama and the performing arts. “For me there’s no question,” Stewart said. “Ian was a star actor while I was still working in regional theater. To be absolutely frank, I was in awe of him and his work long before I knew him.”

WVU defense could be much better in 2013 Last season, the West Virginia football team’s defense was historically bad, plain and simple. The Mountaineers allowed a school record 495 points – more than 38 points a game – while stumbling to a 7-6 record, its worst overall finish in more than a decade. To put it in perspective, its previous high was 364 points allowed in the 1978 season, where West Virginia finished a woeful 2-9 under Frank Cignetti. But 2013 could be a different story for the much maligned defense unit of the Mountaineers. We’ll start at the top, as West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck have already mixed up the coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball, while adding a few new faces, including one Mountaineer fans should already be somewhat familiar with. First of all, Joe DeForest, WVU’s defensive coordinator in 2012, was relieved of his DC duties, and replaced by linebackers coach Keith Patterson. This change actually happened in the weeks leading up to the Pinstripe Bowl, which makes me believe that the defense – or lack thereof – that West Virginia fans saw get run over by Syracuse in the Bronx was probably still closer to the philosophies and overall schemes of DeForest rather than Patterson. Installing a new defense in just a matter of weeks before a game would have simply been too overwhelming in such a short stretch of time. DeForest will maintain his position as assistant head coach with the team. Even more notable changes within the coaching staff come at the back end of the defense, as WVU hired East Carolina’s Brian Mitchell to coach its cornerbacks, and Arizona’s Tony Gibson to coach its safeties. Gibson served as Arizona’s assistant head coach, safeties coach and defensive special teams coordinator under Rich Rodriguez last season. Gibson also has a history with the Mountaineers. He was the defensive backs’ coach in 2001-07 and also served as a recruiting coordinator in his time in Morgantown. Mitchell, meanwhile, has served as ECU’s defensive coordinator and its secondary coach for the last three seasons. He has also coached nine defensive backs that eventually made their way into the NFL. In addition to the upgrades to its coaching staff, it is also looking like West Virginia may get some much needed freshman reinforcements on the defensive side of the ball next year. Now, national signing day is still a little over a week away, but according to ESPN and other recruiting reports, the Mountaineers are currently in position to acquire a host of talented defensive prospects for 2013, especially at the linebacker and defensive end positions. In fact, both of the defensive ends out of Miami that WVU are reportedly courting are listed in ESPN’s top 300 prospects in the entire nation. First is Paul James III, who is listed as the No. 204 prospect in the country. Unfortunately, he hasn’t officially committed or set a formal decision date, but according to ESPN Insider, James III prefers to play outside of his home state of Florida and has shown more interest in WVU than any other school up to this point. Next is Stacy Thomas, another Miami native, listed as No. 222 in the ESPN 300 and as the No. 17 defensive end prospect in the class of 2013. Thomas, like James, hasn’t issued a formal commitment yet, but he will be formally visiting Morgantown today, and it’s the only recruiting

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Head coach Bob Huggins and the West Virginia men’s basketball team will travel to face Oklahoma State this weekend.
West Virginia travels to Oklahoma State with hopes of second-straight victory by michael carvelli sports editor
After more than 30 years of being a head coach, Bob Huggins has learned an important lesson. “You don’t give them back when you win one,” he said after West Virginia’s 71-50 victory against TCU Wednesday. “But I’m not very happy. We played real hard, and I thought defensively we did things we’ve done for a long time in the first half, but in the second half we stopped guarding – which has been kind of what we do.” The Mountaineers will look to continue making those improvements Saturday afternoon when they head to Stillwater, Okla., to take on Oklahoma State. WVU is looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since it beat Oakland, Radford and Eastern Kentucky in December. “I think we’re more talented than a lot of teams in the con-
ference and in the country,” said freshman guard Terry Henderson. “We just haven’t been playing up to our potential. Games like (TCU) show what we can do, (and) we just have to do it every night.” While Henderson finally returned to action Wednesday after missing two games with a back injury, it has been the emergence of the team’s other freshman, Eron Harris, that has continued to help lift the Mountaineers. In the first three starts of his career Harris has responded. The Indianapolis, Ind., native has averaged 15.3 points per game and is shooting 50 percent from the field. “My young guy (Harris) was 5-for6, 2-for-3 from (the three-point line), 7-for-10 from the foul line with three rebounds, 19 points and two assists. And he played the most amount of minutes,” Huggins said after the TCU game. “I believe you get out of this game what you put into it.”
West Virginia also got a boost from senior forward Deniz Kilicli. After playing just six minutes against Purdue last Saturday, Kilicli earned his first start since the Mountaineers’ loss to Oklahoma Jan. 5 and scored 11 points, his first time in double figures since Dec. 30. “For a positive, that is as active as Deniz has been in a long time,” Huggins said. “He was active out on the floor, and he did a lot of positive things. He did a lot of positive things defensively and rebounded the ball better.” But the Mountaineers will have a tough task if they want to come away with a win against an Oklahoma State team that features some of the best players the Big 12 Conference has to offer. Junior Markel Brown leads the Cowboys in scoring, averaging more than 14 points per game, while sophomore LeBryan Nash is averaging 13.9 per game. Oklahoma State freshman Marcus
Smart is one of the best freshmen in the nation and the point guard has shown his versatility in his first season, averaging 13.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. Saturday’s game will be the second time the two schools have faced off. The Mountaineers won the only previous meeting when Jerry West led the way with 12 points and 12 rebounds in a 67-49 WVU victory. After the TCU victory, the team agreed that if they want to continue going on the right path they have to come up with the same mentality they had against the Horned Frogs. “You can’t get too high or too low,” Harris said. “When you win, you’ve got to keep that same hunger from the last game when you lost, and that’s something we’ve got to learn to do. “Some of us got it, (and) some of us don’t. But we’ve got to get on the same page.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers look to get back on track vs. Iowa State by cody schuler managing editor
Life in the Big 12 Conference hasn’t exactly been easy for West Virginia. So far, the Mountaineers (11-7, 3-4) have lost three games by five or fewer points – the first time since 2006 – and now have to face three consecutive ranked opponents. Saturday’s game against No. 24 Iowa State (13-4, 4-3) will be the second time the two teams have met, the last of which came in 2010 when the Mountaineers were able to notch a 64-53 victory in the championship game of the Paradise Jam Tournament Nov. 27. The Cyclones possess the Big 12’s No. 2 scoring defense, allowing only 52.8 points per game. West Virginia head coach Mike Carey hopes his team will be able to rebound after Tuesday’s 7773 OT loss to Texas Tech. “We gave that game away. We just really did,” he said Tuesday following the loss. “We didn’t defend, we didn’t rebound,and we had opportunities in regulation to win it. And we just didn’t do it.” “It’s not going to get any
easier. It’s a shame we gave that one away, it really is … we’ll regroup and try to win Saturday,” he said. The Mountaineers’ recent string of close losses has been difficult for everyone, including sophomore forward Averee Fields. The Murray, Ky., native scored 17 points during Tuesday’s loss, and after the game she said she West Virginia needs to focus on finishing strong in close contests. “Honestly, I think that’s the toughest way to lose; (in) those close games where you know if maybe I would have changed this or that, then we would have had the win ... it’s just so hard because we are right there, and we just have to hold our leads and be able to finish the close games. And we aren’t doing that right now,” she said. The Cyclones average three players in doublefigure scoring, led by junior forward Hallie Christofferson (14.1 ppg). Six-foot-two senior forward Chelsea Poppens (11.7 ppg) and six-footseven senior center Anna Prins (10.5 ppg) give Iowa State a formidable duo in the paint. West Virginia aver-
ages two players in double figures, paced by redshirt junior guard Christal Caldwell (13.1 ppg) and junior guard Taylor Palmer (11.8 ppg). Redshirt senior center Ayana Dunning leads the team in rebounding (6.3 rpg) and also averages just less than 10 points per game. The Mountaineers got a strong performance out of freshman guard Bria Holmes Tuesday when she turned in a career-high 17 points. Carey said there’s no doubt Holmes can score, but she can continue to grow and contribute in a multitude of facets. “(I) thought Bria Holmes came in and gave us some offense, which we needed,” he said. “She can score. Bria’s gotta learn to play a little bit harder (and) play a little bit better defense. She’s a big guard and can score inside out. She came in and did a lot of good things, and hopefully she can build on that,” he said. Saturday’s game against Iowa State will be broadcast on ROOT Sports. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

‘WE REALLY DON’T LIKE THEM’ West Virginia set to face rival North Carolina State this weekend By Meghan Carr
Sports correspondent
The West Virginia University Gymnastics team will finish a three-week road trip when it competes against a former EAGL Conference rival, No. 24 NC State tonight at 7 p.m. The team sees this meet as not only a way to rebound after a disappointing performance at Utah, but also an opportunity to renew an old rivalry. WVU (2-2) and NC State (0-2-1) will compete for the 37th time. The Mountaineers own the series 24-13. This will be the first time the two teams will meet since WVU edged NC State in the 2012 EAGL Championship, beating the Wolfpack 196.475 to 196.000. The last time the Mountaineers played in Raleigh was January 2011. The Wolfpack and Mountaineers were tied until an inquiry from the home team broke the tie and gave the Wolfpack the victory. Although Pittsburgh is seen as WVU’s universal rival, the Wolfpack definitely gets under the gymnasts’ skins. The Mountaineers had plenty to say about their former nemesis. “We really don’t like them,” said senior Kaylyn Millick. “NC State has always been one of our rivals, un-
officially. Everybody who is returning is excited because we’re fully capable of beating them,” said junior Hope Sloanhoffer. The Reynolds Coliseum is only a one-hour plane ride away, so many of the gymnasts consider Reynolds a home away from home. “We walk in that gym, and they know where the locker room is, they know where the training room is, they know how to get up to the competition floor, so it’s a comfortable arena to be in,” said second-year Head coach Jason Butts. Butts also said there should be a good amount of gold and blue in the stands as WVU has a lot of alumni in Raleigh who will come out and support the team. Along with alumni, family of the athletes and the coaches will be in attendance to watch the Mountaineers compete. “Oh yeah, they’ll all be there, and not just my family in Raleigh, but my family is coming up from Athens, Georgia,” Butts said. “It’s another reason I always look forward to NC State.” Butts admits some of his team’s mistakes were due to the large crowd. The quad meet at Utah drew close to 15,000 people, a number most of the Mountaineers were not use to playing in front of. While there will not be as many people in the stands

The West Virginia gymnastics team huddles earlier in the season. as Utah’s event, the meet will still be a test for the Mountaineers (1-2) against ranked opponents. In last weekend’s quad meet the Mountaineers defeated then-No. 20 Southern Utah but fell to then-No. 15 Utah and then-No. 23 Southern Oregon. Coach Butts said he didn’t do anything different this week after his team struggled on the uneven bars and balance beam events in Utah. “I felt like just focusing on those two events would just highlight the mistakes; its not like we were ill-pre-
pared going into Utah. I don’t want them to just focus on the mistakes,” Butts said. “ I want them to focus on the good performances, because the gymnastics is there.” While the Mountaineers are looking to rebound, the Wolfpack are looking for their first win of the 2013 season. The two teams will face of tonight at 7 p.m., at the Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C. You can see the meet live at www.WVUsports.com. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU returns home to face Rutgers, Iowa State By Jon Fehrens sports writer
After dropping both matches last weekend, the West Virginia wrestling team will look to get back on track in front of a home crowd against Rutgers and Iowa State Friday and Saturday. It has been a short week for this struggling team. After wrestling No. 14 Oklahoma on Sunday, the Mountaineers had to wait until Monday to travel back to Morgantown. Having a short of week of preparation hasn’t stopped head coach Craig Turnbull and his staff from making his practices any less intense. “It is a challenging week that we have a short week, but we had a hard practice on Tuesday and a good workout on Wednesday. We need to help these freshman respond to stress,” Turnbull said. “They need to learn to execute under stress, so when they are in a match they know how to execute.” West Virginia will turn to its four ranked wrestlers to lead the way against Rutgers
Friday. Senior Shane Young, who is ranked No. 25 by WrestlingReport, battled inconsistency issues this past weekend but is expected to turn things around. “I think Young is more than capable of keeping his focus this weekend. We are talking about someone who has qualified for the national tournament three times,” Turnbull said. “Sometimes, in all athletes you have to try and get that focus back.” Colin Johnston, despite battling a weight issue, holds the No. 26 spot in WrestlingReport’s poll. Johnston competed in both meets last weekend but struggled to get seven minutes of good wrestling out. “We are going to find out where we are with him this weekend,” Turnbull said. “I don’t know where he stands right now. I think her underestimated how quick he could get back to where he needed to be, and now he is struggling to get seven good minutes of wrestling.” As the team continues preparation, Turnbull re-

minds his team of the experience they gained by going against the nation’s top programs. His mindset of going against the best is something that Lance Bryson, ranked No. 29, adopted and will take with him into his matches. “I have always thought that wrestling someone better than you only makes you better,” Bryson said. “In junior high, I wrestled kids in
high school to help me get better. The tougher the opponent is – win or lose – you come out a better wrestler.” West Virginia will be in action Friday night as it takes on former Big East Conference rival Rutgers Friday at 8 p.m. and Big 12 Conference opponent Iowa State Saturday at 3 p.m. in the WVU coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
visit the prospect currently has scheduled, despite receiving offers from Florida, FSU, Notre Dame and LSU. In addition to the two talented defensive end prospects that should eventually sign with the West Virginia, the Mountaineers also already have concrete commitments from four 4-star linebacker prospects. Darrien Howard, from Dayton, Ohio, is the 9th ranked linebacker in the entire class of 2013, and committed to WVU in June. The Mountaineers also have commitments from AlRasheed Benton, Sam Lebbie and Hodari Christian, the No. 16, No. 33 and No. 35 ranked players at the linebacker position in the 2013 class according to ESPN’s rankings. I think that with the talent of these recruits coupled with the shake-ups in the coaching staff will ultimately yield positive results for the Mountaineers’ defense in 2013. Add in the fact that WVU’s returning defensive starters will be a year more experienced, and hopefully, playing with more of an edge after their mostly pedestrian production last year, and I think that the Mountaineer’s defense could actually transform from a liability to a solid foundational piece in 2013. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Track
WVU set to participate in Penn State Invitational By Kevin Hooker Sports writer
The West Virginia track and field team travels to State College, Pa., this weekend for the PSU National Invitational at Penn State. Last weekend the Mountaineers dominated on their home turf, taking first place in eight events at the WVU Invitational. Senior Sydney Cummings led the way by post-
ing the second-best high jump score in program history with a personal-best leap of 1.76 meters. Sarah Martinelli, a junior, led the group in the 800-meter run with a first-place finish and time of 2:17.26, while junior Arielle Gaither and senior Hallie Portner came in second and third, respectively. The Mountaineers also took top honors in the 500-meter run, with Christa D’Egidio leading the way
with a time of 1:17.35, while Alyssa Scherich and Peyton Hampson took second and third, respectfully. Senior Lauren Moskal finished first in the 1,000 meter run, and fellow senior Alanna Pritts also won first place in the weight throw. The 4x400-meter relay team of D’Egidio, Hampson, Gaither, and Allison Tyree took top honors, as well. This weekend the Mountaineers will face off against
various schools from the East Coast, including former Big East Conference rivals Syracuse, Villanova, Georgetown and Pittsburgh. Head coach Sean Cleary said setting new goals and records this weekend will be key. “This will be a good opportunity to get on a fast 200 meter track,” Cleary said. “I am looking forward to seeing how we handle the increased competition.”
Freshman Ashanti Bess won the 200-meter run last weekend. Despite the pressures, Cleary is keeping his team calm. “I am looking forward to seeing how the team handles the challenge of our biggest meet thus far this winter,” he said. Despite a few setbacks, the Mountaineers feel prepared for competition. “We’ve had a few casualties with this flu bug that’s
being passed around,” Cleary said. “But the rest are training well, and things continue to go well with (practice). “I expect us to return home an improved team.” Competition is slated to begin at noon, and live results of the race can be found at gopsusports.com, with final results and a recap posted on WVUsports. com. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
Swimming and DivinG
West Virginia prepared for matchup with Bobcats By Connor murray Sports correspondent
Following its 160-140 loss last week at the hands of the TCU Horned Frogs, the West Virginia University women’s swim and dive team will return to the pool Saturday at noon as they welcome the Ohio Bobcats to the WVU Natatorium. While the Mountaineers will enter the meet Saturday suffering back-to-back losses, the Bobcats will roll in to Morgantown sporting two-straight victories. Most recently, the Bobcats dis-
patched the Mountaineers’ in-state rival, Marshall, cruising to a 167-116 victory Tuesday at the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium. A key to the Bobcats victory was the performance of their divers, namely that of junior Kristin Capcik. The Milwaukee, Wis., native set a pool record on the three meter dive with a score of 318.30. Capcik followed up her pool record breaking performance with another record in the one meter dive. Her score of 288.0 topped her previous personal-best
of 273.20 on the one meter board. Although the Bobcats will come into Saturday’s meet with plenty of talent on the diving side, the Mountaineers certainly aren’t lacking in that category. Sophomore Haily VandePoel has played a big role in the Mountaineers’ success all year long. Last week VandePoel racked up wins in both the one meter and three meter dives with scores of 281.77 and 316.20, respectively. The Bobcats swimmers
put early pressure on the Thundering Herd and were able to hold on late as Marshall’s late comeback attempt came up short. A key cog in the victory was the performance of freshman Bianca Hauzer. Hauzer was able to outlast the competition in the 1,000 free, posting a time of 10:22.51, which was good enough for a first place finish for the native of Germiston, South Africa. Senior Rachel Burnett will look to build on her top-notch performance from last week for the
Mountaineers. Burnett registered wins in the 200 free, the 500 free, and the 1,000 free. It is noteworthy that Burnett’s time in the 1,000 free (10:06.12) was more than a full 16 seconds better than Bianca Hauzer’s winning time for the Bobcats. The Bobcats 200 medley relay team of Anastasia Bocharnikova, Tori Bagan, Caroline Meyer and Lauren Funk took first place in the event with a time of 1:48.98. In the same event in
the Mountaineers’ meet against TCU, Jaimee Gillmore, Courtney Miller, Julie Ogden and Jenelle Zee grabbed the top spot with a time of 1:46.25, a little more than two seconds better than the Bobcats’ medley relay team. Saturday’s meet will serve as the regular season finale for the Mountaineers. The team will get a full month off to prepare for the Big 12 championships, which will kick off Feb. 27 in Austin, Texas. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
Arizona sends Justin Upton to Braves in 7-player deal PHOENIX (AP) — Justin Upton is having a family reunion in Atlanta. Arizona traded its star right fielder to the Braves on Thursday in a seven-player deal that sent former All-Star infielder Martin Prado to the Diamondbacks. For the first time since he was a high school freshman, Upton will have older brother B.J. Upton as a teammate. The brothers combine with Jason Heyward, who won a Gold Glove in 2012, in an outfield potentially packed with power and speed. “If we push ourselves to the next level, I feel with the extra push from each other there’s no question we can be the best outfield in baseball,” Justin Upton said in a telephone interview. “I’m not going to give us that label until we prove it.” The Braves, who also get third baseman Chris Johnson, are giving up one of their top pitching prospects, Randall Delgado, and three minor leaguers in the deal. They are right-hander Zeke Spruill, shortstop Nick Ahmed and first baseman Brandon Drury. Prado, projected to play third base for the Diamondbacks, can become a free agent after this season, but Arizona general manager Kevin Towers said he already was working with Prado’s agent on a long-term deal. B.J. Upton, 28, signed a five-year, $75.25 million contract with Atlanta in November. Justin Upton, who has five full seasons in the majors but is just 25, said he already got
tips from his brother from afar. Now there will be more chances for the two to help each other. “I think from that standpoint it will be good, but I think more than anything being able to show up at the ballpark genuinely excited every day and have that energy,” he said. “The more energy you can bring from the start every day, it makes you a better player.” Braves general manager Frank Wren said he expects the brothers will push each other. “I do think it will drive them,” Wren said. “We’ve been looking for that young dynamic, right-handed, power-hitting outfielder that can hit in the middle of the lineup and makes that other team think a little bit.” The younger Upton, who has three years and $38.5 million left on his contract, had been the subject of trade speculation throughout the offseason and vetoed a trade to the Seattle Mariners. Upton had his ups and downs in Arizona, and Towers believes the change of scenery will benefit the young player, who was just 19 when he came to the majors. “The expectations were through the roof on him,” Towers said. “When the team struggled, it seemed like it was always because of Justin. That’s hard. We’re human beings. It’s hard to take when you’re a young individual trying to establish yourself.” Now, Towers said, Upton has “an opportunity to go to a different place to where he’s going to fit in with some star
players over there, where he’s just kind of a piece of the puzzle versus kind of the centerpiece and the big piece of the puzzle. “I think some pressure will be off of him.” Arizona manager Kurt Gibson, his left arm in a sling after shoulder surgery, said he sent Upton a long text wishing him the best. “I said, ‘You must be ecstatic to be able to play with your brother.’ I could certainly understand that. It’s got to be a great thrill for him.” Gibson said Upton reminded him of himself as a player. “I had some things that happened with my manager Sparky Anderson over the years where maybe we butted heads a little bit and I didn’t agree with him,” Gibson said. But when it was all said and done it all made sense and it was for me to become a better person and a better ballplayer. I would say similar things have happened with me and Justin throughout our association. I know he respects me and I respect him.” Prado, who joins fellow Venezuelan Miguel Montero in Arizona, made the All-Star team in 2010 as a second baseman and played mostly in left field last season. Prado was projected to move to third base for the Braves this season to replace the retired Chipper Jones. Arizona had accumulated a glut of outfielders, signing Cody Ross as a free agent last month. Upton, an All-Star pick in 2009 and 2011, was
AP
Arizona Diamondbacks’ Justin Upton waits on deck during the first inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs in Phoenix. the most marketable. Upton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, has played five full major league seasons. Last season, he hit .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBIs and a career-high 107 runs. In 2011, while helping Arizona win the NL West, Upton hit .289 with career-best totals of 31 home runs and 88 RBIs and finished fourth in NL MVP voting. Overall, he’s a career .278 hitter with 108 home runs, 739 hits, 147 doubles and 80 stolen bases. Upton said he hopes to become a more consistent player in Atlanta. “I’ve had a couple good years where I put up good numbers and my goal all
along has been to put those years up consistently,” he said. “I think now I’m in a position with Atlanta ... we can really feed off each other throughout that lineup to try to get everybody to that consistent production rate.” Delgado, a 23-year-old right-hander, had been expected to challenge for a spot in the Braves rotation. His acquisition bolsters the young pitching depth in Arizona depleted by the trade of Trevor Bauer. Delgado was 4-9 with a 4.37 ERA in 18 appearances, 17 as a starter, for the Braves. Rated Atlanta’s No. 3 prospect by Baseball America the past two years, he was 4-3 with a 4.06 ERA with TripleA Gwinnett last season.
The trade leaves Arizona with three veteran outfielders – Ross, Jason Kubel and Gerardo Parra – along with two youngsters the team feels are ready for the majors — Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollock. Towers projects Eaton as a center fielder and a prototypical leadoff hitter. Towers said the addition of Ross and a top contact hitter in Prado changes the character of the club. “I would say we’re going to be a little different club,” he said. “I think we can still hit home runs, but I think the last couple of years we’ve relied too much on the long ball. If you look at our record, those days that we didn’t homer, we usually didn’t win.”
