Council hears new housing proposal Developers present plan for new apartment complex along University Avenue by jake jarvis staff writer @newsroomjake

Tuesday night, the Morgantown City Council heard from developers wanting to build a large residential complex along University Avenue where it intersects with Wall Street.

For the development to go forward, the city would have to annul Wall Street so developers could purchase property on both sides of the road.

This would sacrifice 2,900 square feet of public land, but developers plan to add an additional 11,540

square feet of public space, having a net gain of about 8,000 square feet of public space.

“We believe our plan meets the best of the city’s comprehensive plan,” said John Williams, a representative of Landmark Properties, the developers. “We believe we meet the comprehensive strategy scenarios. We think the building will be significant as a front door to your city, removing junk yard and adding a mixed-use property.”

The 1.95 acre complex would include 276 units with 866 beds in total. Commercial space would oc-

cupy approximately 8,500 square feet of the facility.

Councilwoman Jenny Selin, Fourth Ward, frequently bicycles through the city. She was pleased to see the plans presented created an ADA accessible path to Caperton Trail.

Selin and other councilors agreed that access to the trail now, by way of Walnut Street, needs improvement.

The plans also include an area behind the development on Water Street that developers would designate to public use after Shelby Thoburn/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Mock interview week gives students real-world experience, networking opportunities by amy pratt

Brianna Harvey, a senior management student, found her mock interview to be a good experience for providing feedback.

“I think the (interview) helps to better manage the experience for when it is real. I’ve learned a lot throughout doing them that I just wouldn’t have known without doing them,” Harvey said. “When I first came here, I transferred from another school, I really did not know how to make a resume, what really to wear, how to behave, that I needed to ask questions after or a follow up. I feel like I’ve learned that here and have been able to exhibit it.”

Twenty-four employers are participating in mock interview week in order to give students feedback about what to improve.

“These are helpful to employers too because it gives them exposure to the students for potential internships or entry level positions,” Smith said.

Smith said that past students received internships with companies after participating in a mock interview.

And even if students do not get an internship or job from their mock interview, Smith said they are

est Virginia University’s College of Business and Economics is hosting mock interviews this week.

Students from all majors can participate in behavioral interviews with human resource professionals from top organizations, said Kellyn Smith, assistant director of the Center for Career Development. “(We had) 211 students sign up this semester,” Smith said. “We’re very excited about that because it helps students prepare for behavioral interviews.”

In behavioral interviews, employers try to learn about prospective employees’ past behavior in particular situations. Past behavior is a better predictor of future behaviors than a prospective employee speculating about what they would do in a situation.

Mock interviews teach students everything about behavioral interviews from what to say or how to dress.

Approximately 17 percent of children and adolescents in the United States are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kidematics, a program that focuses on physical activity for children, hopes to promote childhood wellness in Morgantown.

The program is committed to developing wellrounded children into successful citizens in the Morgantown community. Kidematics promotes healthy choices and teaches children to live healthy lifestyles.

“Our mission is to start and keep kids in motion, half of what we do is all about physical activity,” said Meghan Phillips, owner of Kidematics.

Phillips founded the program in 2010 when she realized she enjoyed working with young children. Phillips wanted to combine physical activity and education into a program for children.

Space can be one of the biggest restraints when it comes to physical activity, and this program teaches children how to be active in small spaces.

Kidematics created their current company within limited perimeters. The company started in a small facility with limited space, and no gymnasium.

“We first started with a summer program, but then the following fall we began before and after school programs at Eastwood Elementary School and Suncrest Primary School,” Phillips said.

Kidematics gives children a unique opportunity to socialize with friends by creating physical activies that engage children without comparison. This type of interaction is important for boosting a healthy self-image.

Most recesses are limited to 30 minutes each day. Due to weather, children occasionally spend that time restricted to classrooms.

“I love watching the kids use the social skills lessons they have learned and put them into action, not only during Kidematics but also at school and with their families,” said Cari Murral, cofounder and director of operations at Kidematics.

Murral believes that the true indicator of success in this program is when a child can successfully take a learned skill and apply it to everyday life situations.

“We teach acceptance of others who are different, coping with difficulties in life, motivation in academics and everyday life situations, accepting responsibility and being a trustworthy individual with integrity,” Murral said.

Kidematics communicates with parents to keep track of children’s progress while they are at home. The staff members send emails that include surveys and requests for feedback from the parents.

“Parents are our clients as well, and we are open to any suggestions made by them,” Phillips said.

Kidematics’ content can benefit every child. The program’s goal is to benefit children physically, socially and

Local businesses suffer as a result of Winter Storm Jonas by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

As the remains of the weekend’s snowstorm clear up, West Virginia University students are reluctantly putting away their sleds and returning to class.

However, while the winter weekend may have been fun for the city’s youth, many of Morgantown’s local businesses suffered from the nearly two feet of snow the area received.

“We did have to close up on Friday and Saturday,” said Soul Brothers owner Mark Kammer. “For us, delivery is one of the big things, and we were unable to de-

liver to a lot of customers.

We also had issues with employees getting into work.”

Kammer said delivery makes up about one third of Soul Brothers’ business, and the inability of the restaurant’s drivers and employees to do their jobs was harmful, especially to a small business.

“We lost 100 percent of the sales that we would’ve expected to have had,” Kammer said. “Really, this puts us back an entire week on things.”

D.P. Dough, a popular High Street calzone stop, was also forced to close over the weekend.

“On Friday, when (the snow) started coming down,

we started losing drivers,” said D.P. Dough kitchen staff member Marc Hartsing.

Hartsing said after so many delivery drivers called off, the shop was eventually forced to stop delivery, which makes up more than half of the store’s orders.

“People still expect us to be open,” Hartsing said, “but I don’t think a calzone is worth the life of any driver.”

But restaurants weren’t the only businesses hit by the storm.

While Animal House, High Street’s pet store, was partially closed, manager Michelle Wilkins still had to brave the weather, make it to the shop and feed the animals. While the store wasn’t

technically open, Wilkins still let some shoppers in.

“People have to get the last minute stuff for their pet,” Wilkins said.

Tanner’s Alley also had no choice but to shut down on Saturday, but like some other downtown businesses, rebounded once the weather settled.

“Saturday is our busiest day, and you always hate to lose (customers),” said Tanner’s Alley owner Charles McEwuen. “But we were actually pretty busy (on Monday), so it may have been a bit of a wash.”

While the businesses have had varying experiences over the past several days, they all agreed that

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign stop at Farmington High School, Monday, Jan. 25, 2016, in Farmington, New Hampshire.

Trump pulls out of GOP debate; Sanders to meet with Obama MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP)—Donald Trump declared Tuesday he would boycott the last Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses, leading Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to challenge him to a one-on-one debate. Adding intrigue to the Democratic race, the White House said President Barack Obama would host Bernie Sanders for an Oval Office meeting.

The dual developments created new ripples of uncertainty six days before voting in the presidential race begins. Both parties were bracing for nail-biting caucuses that will determine which of their two leading candidates will carry the whiff of victory into New Hampshire and beyond.

Trump raised the prospect of skipping the debate as he blasted Fox News Channel for “playing games” and including anchor Megyn Kelly as a debate moderator. Trump’s

campaign later said he definitely will not participate.

“I said bye bye, ok?”

Trump said.

The race among Democrats was no more settled six days from the leadoff Iowa caucuses, with Sanders and Hillary Clinton locked in a close contest and details about their debate plans unclear. But the fireworks Tuesday were on the Republican side.

Trump said he would hold his own event in Iowa during the debate to raise money for wounded veterans. He dismissed Kelly as a “third-rate reporter” who is bad at her job and had been “toying” with him reprising a squabble that erupted after a debate Kelly co-hosted last year.

Kelly shot back on her nightly show, arguing that Trump is used to getting his way but can’t control the media. She said her network and CEO Roger Ailes had made it clear to Trump for

months that they wouldn’t change their moderator line-up.

“I’ll be there,” Kelly said.

“The debate will go on with or without Mr. Trump.”

Trump’s pullout came after Fox News Channel tweaked the GOP front-runner for asking his Twitter followers whether he should debate. The network, in a sarcastically worded statement, said it had learned from a “secret back channel” that the leaders of Iran and Russia planned to treat Trump unfairly if elected.

“A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings,” read the statement from a Fox News Channel representative.

Trump’s declaration was an unexpected, if not unpredictable, twist in the final days of the Iowa campaign.

The real estate mogul had

threatened repeatedly to boycott debates before, only to ultimately acquiesce.

By picking a fight publicly, Trump assured that even if he goes through with his plan not to show up Thursday, his absence will be the center of attention.

Cruz, appearing at an evening rally, offered to face Trump “mano a mano” anytime. He said Trump was scared of Kelly, telling supporters that skipping the debate was like refusing a job interview.

“If someone did that, didn’t show up at the interview, you know what you’d say? You’re fired,” Cruz said, riffing on Trump’s famous rejoinder from the “The Apprentice.”

There was drama on the Democratic side as well.

As Sanders left Iowa and Minnesota for his meeting with Obama on Wednesday, the meeting was being watched for signs of the president’s leanings. He’s

sought to avoid showing favoritism, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the meeting would be informal, with “no formal agenda.”

Just a day earlier, Clinton had been soaking in presidential praise. In a Politico interview, Obama called her “wicked smart” and immensely qualified to run the country, in his most extensive comments to date on the race. Obama has met with Clinton, his former secretary of state and 2008 primary opponent, periodically. Unlike the Sanders meeting, the White House typically hasn’t disclosed those sessions in advance.

Democrats, too, faced fresh uncertainty about their debates - marquee events in the presidential race.

Following criticism that the Democratic Party had limited debates to help Clinton, New Hampshire’s largest newspaper and MS-

NBC said Tuesday they would host an additional debate next week just before the first-in-the-nation primary. But the Democratic National Committee chairwoman said the party had “no plans” to sanction more debates, and Clinton’s campaign said she’d only participate if the other candidates agree. So far, only Martin O’Malley has said he’ll participate.

Sanders, in an Associated Press interview Tuesday, waxed confident that he had an “excellent chance” to win Iowa. He predicted success in Iowa and New Hampshire would beget more support from party leaders who have firmly backed Clinton as the party’s best chance for a general election victory.

“If I’m the candidate best able to do that, you can bet your bottom buck we’re going to have a whole lot of establishment Democrats on board,” Sanders said.

Research begins into possibility of a vaccine for Zika virus WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. government is beginning research into a possible vaccine for the mosquito-borne Zika virus that is suspected of causing an unusual birth defect as it spreads in Latin America.

Don’t expect protection anytime soon - vaccine development typically takes years.

“This is not going to be overnight,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said in an interview Tuesday.

NIH researchers have begun some initial work, and the agency also plans to boost funding to some Brazilian scientists to accelerate Zika-related research, he said.

President Barack Obama met Tuesday with his senior health advisers, including Fauci, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and Centers for Disease Control Director Thomas Frieden. The White House said Obama urged them to accelerate research into diagnostic tests, vaccines and therapeutic drugs, and work to inform Americans about the Zika virus and ways to protect against infection.

But amid a large Zika outbreak in Brazil, researchers began reporting an increase in a rare birth defect named microcephaly - babies born with abnormally small heads.

Daynelle Sanner, the program coordinator for the Center for Career De-

Gary Solomon did not want to discuss specific details about the project since his family is still in negotiations with developers. He said he would be open to selling his portion of the property, but not under the

“It’s the last thing that I want to do, to sue the city,” Giuliani said. “But what I can tell this group is there’ll be litigation.”

Ending inhumane prison practices The events surrounding a young man’s suicide is prompting a new look into whether using isolation as punishment is as effective as it was once thought. While still in office, president Barack Obama is attempting to reduce the number of prisoners placed in solitary confinement after a young man held in solitary confinement for two years committed suicide after his release.

Kalief Browder was 16 when he was arrested for stealing a backpack, but he was released after two years without ever standing trial. Browder attempted to commit suicide multiple times both while detained in jail and after his release.

Four years after leaving jail, he took his own life at the age of 22 after facing many struggles assimilating back into society.

Our ability to create and maintain relationships with others is a major component of what defines us.

Humans are social creatures, and being left alone for long periods of time is bad for both our mental

According to Health. com, the negative effects of being lonely can manifest in a weaker immune system, heart disease and depressive symptoms. Older adults who live alone are less likely to take care of themselves as they age and are more susceptible to developing alcoholism. Most importantly, living alone

increases the risk of suicide in people of all ages.

Extreme isolation like the form practiced in prisons can lead to hallucinations and loss of the ability to think clearly. Stuart Grassian, a Harvard professor, interviewed hundreds of inmates kept in solitary confinement and deemed one third to be “actively psychotic and/or acutely

suicidal.” A study performed with Rhesus monkeys kept in isolation for more than a year was said to have “almost obliterated the animals socially.”

Given how influential the company of others can be to both our physical and mental status, it seems human company should be a guaranteed basic right and not a privilege. The

popularresistance.org

United States prison system doesn’t force inmates to stay awake for multiple days or deny them food, so why is isolation considrered an acceptable form of punishment?

Solitary confinement is defined as keeping prisoners alone in a small cell for 23 hours per day, with just one hour of exercise. Currently, 44 states use this

method in prisons, and it’s estimated that at least 80,000 prisoners are prevented from interacting with other people and kept in isolation on any given day in the United States.

Effects of long-term solitary confinement in prisoners includes paranoia, difficulty concentrating, hypersensitivity to stimuli, the development of obsessions and panic attacks, the latter of which Browder suffered from in the months after his release from prison. Prisoners in solitary confinement have been noted to lose the ability to organize their own lives after release.

This editorial board believes prisoners should be kept in conditions that do not prevent their successful reintroduction to society after their sentences, and solitary confinement is simply not conducive to this. Reducing the number of prisoners held in isolation is the first step in repairing the American prison system’s many flaws. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown firefighters deserve students’ respect emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

From the time I was a little kid, I have always been proud of what my father does for a living. When asked by anyone about what kind of job he had, I always beamed with pride when I responded, “My dad is a firefighter.” Before his retirement just over a year ago, he served as a professional firefighter and paramedic in my hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia for nearly 25 years.

I loved visiting him at work and getting to climb on the big trucks at the fire station. I loved riding on top of one with other firefighters’ kids as a part of our city’s annual Christmas parade. I loved when my dad would come to my school in uniform to talk to my elementary school classes about fire safety and hand out stickers and plastic firefighter helmets. I loved that Santa Claus would sometimes come to our house a day early during the many times my dad had to work on Christmas Day. At the same time, I hated that my dad’s job kept him away from our family several days and nights a week.

I hated that he often had to miss our school and sporting events. I hated that when tragedy struck, such as a major flood or blizzard, my dad had to leave home to go to work when most people would be leaving work to go home instead. I hated that every

It was an ever-present sense of danger and risk that my dad could be seriously injured or even killed in the line of duty. I knew it was possible he could fall through a roof or a floor in a house fire. I knew that at any time, a building could collapse on him. I knew that he could be near an explosion or be electrocuted. I knew that my dad would give his life to save others, and it scared me to death all the time.

In the hundreds of possibilities that ran through my head as he walked out the door, one that never crossed my mind was that

he could be injured by the very people he was trying to help. I never imagined that a drunken college kid who didn’t want his middle-ofthe-street mattress fire extinguished could strike him with a glass bottle or brick.

I never imagined that curse words and insults would be chanted at him as he put himself in harm’s way for the sake of others. I never imagined the level of disrespect that Morgantown’s first responders faced last weekend.

When a seemingly innocent snow day party with sledding, snowboard tricks and drinking got out of control and culminated in a few students lighting furniture on fire in the middle

of downtown Morgantown on Spruce Street, firefighters were called to extinguish the blaze. When they arrived, they were greeted with insults and battered with garbage and other objects. They were disrespected by the very community they have sworn to protect with their lives.

Perhaps experiencing firsthand the sacrifice that firefighters make every day has made it easy for me to understand why they are always deserving of our respect and cooperation. Perhaps the select group who chose to lash out at Morgantown’s firefighters don’t understand that these people are going to be the ones who come racing to your aid

in the middle of the night during a medical emergency or that they would enter a burning building just to save your family pet if need be. They will give up Christmas with their family. They will give up school plays and dance recitals and baseball games. They will put everything on the line to be there when tragedy strikes. In worst-case scenarios, in the face of danger and death, they will be working. To them, it comes with the territory.

It seems that every year, there is a story about an out-of-control situation ending in the injury of first responders. Enough is enough. As a school and a community, we absolutely

must come together to ensure that what happened this weekend never happens again. We need to stop thinking of our firefighters as “party killers” and start thinking of them as men and women with families who are just trying to do their jobs. More importantly, we need to make certain that anyone spotted being uncooperative or violent toward firefighters is reported to authorities. When firefighters show up, they are only ever there to help.

They certainly deserve our utmost respect. Anything less is shameful and not representative of who we are as Mountaineers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Dishing on comfort food recipes for staying warm this winter, a twist on a classic cold weather beverage Brittany Osteen A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

During winter months, the most common desire is to get warm after coming inside from the tingling cold. The best way to do that has always been food.

With only a few ingredients, these recipes are easy and perfect for the winter.

Another great recipe for cold weather is potato soup. Sometimes the warm, creamy, gooey, cheesey comfort is exactly what is needed after a long, cold day.

This is even better when eaten with crunchy bread. This soup can be garnished with green onion, cheese and bacon. Salt and pepper may be added if desired.

Recipe: Creamy Potato Soup

No matter what time of the year, chicken pot pie is loved by many. This recipe puts a little spin on the original by making chicken pot pie biscuits, which are easy to make once and eat throughout the week. These are perfect for busy days or for an on-the-go meal.

Ingredients: 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups milk, or more, as needed 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1/2 cup sour cream Extras if desired: 2 green onions, thinly sliced 4 slices bacon, diced 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie Biscuits Ingredients: 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup diced cooked chicken 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough Directions: • Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, combine the vegetables, the chicken and the soup and mix well.

• Press each biscuit into the rounds of a greased regular-size muffin or cupcake pan. Make sure to pull enough biscuit dough over the edge in order to close over the stuffing.

• Spoon 1/3 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture into each dough cup. Pull the edges of the dough over the mixture and pinch the dough gently to hold in place.

• Bake at 375°F 20 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Let cool for 1 minute and remove from pan.

Directions: • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add and stir in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

• Slowly stir in milk, and cook, until slightly thickened, which takes about 1-2 minutes.

• Add in potatoes and green onions.

• Make sure to continue stirring constantly • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, which takes about 15-20 minutes.

• Stir in cheese and sour cream. If the soup is too thick, add more milk as needed until the preferred consistency is reached.

Hot chocolate... with a fresh twist Who is cuckoo for cocoa? Well, I bet you didnt know there were few ways to put an interesting twist on a classic cup of hot chocolate.

Some of the more common additions to hot chocolate include caramel, cinnamon, vanilla and peppermint. Try adding a small scoop of ice cream while making hot chocolate. The ice cream will make the drink creamy and thick,

but make sure it doesn’t begin to boil.

For peanut butter lovers, add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter into the hot chocolate. Just make sure it is warm enough for it to melt. Finally, another funky twist for hot chocolate is maple syrup. A little squirt of syrup will be enough to boost the familiar drink. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Hot cocoa is a fast and sweet way to warm up on a cold day.

West gives Yeezus fans a first look at ‘SWISH’ Woody pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

It might be hard to tell with all the snow outside, but it’s officially Yeezy season. Fans got a taste of three new songs this month— the astonishing Nike diss track “FACTS,” and two new singles from Kanye West’s forthcoming seventh studio album, “SWISH.” The album’s release date has officially been announced as of this weekend, and it looks like West’s album will be hitting stores on Feb. 11.

Fans have received a lot of cryptic information regarding the album since talk of its existence began in late 2014. Originally titled “So Help Me God,” the announcement came with a strange insignia that showed several archaic cursive M’s being connected in a diamond shape by line segments. What was originally assumed to be the record’s lead single—“All Day” featuring Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom and Paul McCartney— apparently was a standalone track and did not make the final cut for “SWISH.” Last year with the unveiling of the Yeezy Season one lineup and the Yeezy Boost 750, the original high tops before the legendary low cuts hit the market, the Chicago artist premiered a new song called

The trio performed the song live on Saturday Night Live in February 2015 in a very expressionistic arrangement. Now that West’s new album’s tracklist has been revealed, it is official that “Wolves” will have a place in the album as the tenth and final song.

Things got strangely quiet after SNL—with West producing a couple beats here and there for The Weeknd among others, laying heavily discussed features on Mensa’s “U Mad?” and Travis Scott’s “P*ss On Your Grave,” and designing Adidas fashion lines that took the brand to a new level of respect.

Finally, he reemerged to remind us all that he’s Kanye West by dropping his first solo song in a while, “FACTS”, in order to show Nike how

he really feels.

Some people may be aware that West has an unpleasant history with Nike. For those who did not, now there is a diss track about it.

Not just any diss track, but perhaps one of the first diss tracks aimed entirely at a company rather than a specific person or rapper. Over top of a dynamic trap beat produced

by Southside and Metro Boomin, Yeezy does his own spin on Drake and Future’s hit “Jumpman”, as a

way to really stick it to Nike. The song was in typical Kanye fashion, adding to its popularity with its controversial jabs.

The song also may have reignited the G.O.O.D Friday series, if Kim Kardashian is to be believed, as West has released songs weekly as a promotional tactic for his new album. G.O.O.D. Fridays was a music series started back in 2010 in order to surround “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” West’s fifth album, with some excitement by dropping a new song every Friday.

This song usually came complete with guest artists, often from his label G.O.O.D. Music, and that trend seems to have repeated itself.

The next two songs following “FACTS”—“Real Friends” and “No More Parties in LA” featuring Ty Dolla Sign and Kendrick Lamar respectively—have both been included in the tracklist for “SWISH.” Both tracks are excellent—conceded from completely different intentions and ideas over completely different instrumentals.

The songs’ contrasting sounds, and the influences of their guest artists, foreshadow a diverse and beautiful album from West. This sounds like a step away from the angry distortion and lamentation of “Yeezus” and has fans very excited for February’s big musical gift. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Kid Cudi to rap ‘Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven’ album at Stage AE performance Ally Litten

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The Chosen One, also known as Kid Cudi, also known as Scott Mescudi, will stop in nearby Pittsburgh on Feb. 5 as a stop on his 2016 tour. Held at STAGE AE, Kid Cudi will be celebrate the release of his new album, “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven”.

In late 2015, Kid Cudi announced his upcoming tour would be rescheduled due to personal problems. Announcing the change via Twitter, Kid Cudi quickly released a new set of dates and prepared himself for the nationwide tour.

“I got a lot I’m dealing with at this time in my personal life too and in order for the shows to be the best experience possible as well as keeping my sanity intact, I need to regroup,”Cudi said via Twitter.

“I have to. I’m upset and I’m sure some of you are too.

I’m sorry for any inconveniences I may have caused and

look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces and feeling your glorious and energy at the top of next year.”

Kid Cudi has had a busy year. Besides planning for his tour, Cudi released a new album, “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven” on Dec. 4. Unlike his other work, “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven” was considered by critics more of an alternative rock album then a hip-hop album. The album seemed to focus more on Scott Mescudi as an artist instead of the usual Kid Cudi beats.

Known for hits like “Pursuit of Happiness” and “Man on the Moon”, Kid Cudi has shown the wide spectrum of his artistic talent. He can go from a hip-hop artist to a psychedelic, trippy composer to a fun, upbeat musician to a 90’s grunge rocker. In other words, it is hard to know what to expect from Kid Cudi.

The one consistency that Kid Cudi does have is that each style of music he performs, he is letting the audience see into another side of him. As an artist, Kid Cudi has found a way to express himself through many different genres. He is an artist with the same, overall mes-

sage, but every time Kid Cudi manages to find a different way to say it.

For fans wanting to see Kid Cudi again or at a different location are in luck. Not only will Kid Cudi stop in Pittsburgh, but he will also perform at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio, The Filmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. and Echostage in Washington D.C. If transportation to the event is an issue, there are alternative options. The Rally Bus will not run for this concert, however, there are seats open on the Megabus which runs from Morgantown to downtown Pittsburgh. The Mountainline bus also offers rides from Morgantown to various spots around Pittsburgh.

Kid Cudi will perform at 7 p.m. on Feb. 5 at STAGE AE, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For more information on ticket sales and concert locations, visit http://www.ticketmaster.com/Kid-Cudi-tickets/ artist/1325053?tm_link=edp_Artist_Name. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘What did you do with ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ delights audiences your snow-weekend?’

Photo: ASKAR SALIKHOV/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Graphic: Westley Thompson/The Daily Athenaeum

Winter Storm Jonas gave West Virginia University students a four-day weekend starting last Friday.

With classes canceled, students found themselves with a lot of extra time to kill, and did so in a variety of ways.

Yesterday, 100 students in the Mountainlair were asked: “What did you do with your snow-weekend?”

Most of the students polled said they did something inside. Thirty-one percent watched Netflix or TV all weekend, catching up on shows such as “Friends,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Making a Murderer.”

Eight percent of students

who chose to stay inside did so to play videogames, most playing the new “Halo” or “Call of Duty.”

Many students, however, decided to take advantage of the feet of snow outside.

Outdoor activities around Morgantown’s streets and hills were popular answers with 24 percent of the responses. Within this group, 16 percent went sledding in Morgantown, and 3 percent hit the professional ski-slopes around the local area to go skiing and snowboarding.

Playing in the snow made up the remaining three percent of the sled/ snowboard/etc. category.

This sub-group encom-

passed snowball fights, igloo building and one interesting answer of burying an illegally parked neighbor’s car.

Of the students polled, 20 percent said that drinking was their primary activity for the weekend.

Not everyone had a fun time though. Some students were called into work despite the horrid road conditions, and 4 percent chose to catch up on homework.

What did you do this weekend? Create a massive snow fort, shred some sick gnar? Tweet us your snow day pictures and stories @ dailyathenaeum.

If you’re one of those people - and I’m with you - who roll your eyes when handed a pair of 3D glasses at the multiplex, wondering if all this rigmarole is REALLY necessary, then take heart: The lovely, colorpopping visuals in “Kung Fu Panda 3” are well worth those darned glasses.

And the evocative DreamWorks Animation visuals are accompanied by just enough heart, witty dialogue and kid-friendly humor - anything about gorging on dumplings, for example - to make this an all-around extremely satisfying third installment in the popular series. Like a wellmade dumpling, it’s not too heavy but not too light, has the right amount of spice, and leaves one with some appetite for the next time.

Much of the appeal of the “Panda” films is, of course, the starry cast of voices, and it’s fun to try to figure out who they are, rather than informing yourself beforehand (but if you do, stop reading here). Of course, you’ll already know that Jack Black is back, and in fine shape, as Po, our rotund panda hero and reluctant Dragon Warrior.

Black’s goofy persona is perfect for lines like, when he discovers other pandas don’t use chopsticks to slow them down: “I always KNEW I wasn’t eating up to my full potential!” That was my personal favorite, but the kids in the audience were overwhelmingly partial to this one, hurled mockingly by the overmatched Po at his taunting, evil opponent: “Chitty, chitty, chat, chat.

Chat, chat, chat.”

The film, directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, begins in the spirit realm, where Oogway, the ancient kung fu master

Jack Black is back as animated panda Po in ‘Kung Fu Panda 3.’ (and tortoise), is suddenly attacked by the villainous bull Kai, a former friend.

Kai has been spending the last few centuries collecting all the “chi” power from kung fu masters and storing it in amulets. His goal is to bring his supernatural army to the mortal world and defeat Po, his anointed opponent.

But the important thing to know about Kai - Master of Pain, Beast of Vengeance, Maker of Widows - is that he’s voiced by Simmons, the Oscar-winning “Whiplash” actor who terrorized poor Miles Teller as a nightmarish jazz band conductor.

This guy knows from cruelty.

Luckily, Po feels totally confident and up to the task.

NOT! But first, an update: Our roly-poly friend has been busily goofing around, as usual, when the old master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) informs him he must take over the task of teaching kung fu. “ME teach?” Po asks. Shifu replies: “If you only do what you CAN do, you will never be more than what you are now.”

If that weren’t enough drama, Po’s biological father, Li, has turned up, causing consternation for Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping (the very funny James Hong). “How do we know

slashfilm.com

he’s even related to you?”

Mr. Ping - a goose, of course - says angrily, as the pandas happily bump bellies.

Po decides to journey with Li to the secret mountain enclave where pandas live to master his own “chi,” which he’ll need to defeat Kai. In this charming sequence, set in a gorgeous Shangri-La-like setting, Po meets - and hugs, and hugs - his extended panda family. They include adorable young’uns (a couple are the offspring of Angelina Jolie, who’s back here as Tigress) and a sexy ribbon dancer, Mei Mei (Kate Hudson, hamming it up).

Ultimately, this is a story about having the courage to live up to one’s potential a potential one might not know one had. “I like who I am,” Po says early on. “You don’t even KNOW who you are,” Shifu replies.

It’s a conversation we could all have with our kids.

Ideally, we’d soften it with some wit and a whole bunch of dumplings.

“Kung Fu Panda 3,” a 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Animation release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for martial arts action and some mild rude humor.”

Running time: 95 minutes.

Three stars out of four.

In Oscars diversity crisis, Chris Rock and a microphone loom large NEW YORK (AP) — When Chris Rock first hosted the Oscars in 2005, the four black actors nominated that year - Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo and Jamie Foxx (twice!) - didn’t escape his notice.

“It’s like the Def Oscar Jam!” Rock exclaimed.

The story will be slightly different this time around.

When Rock strides onto the Dolby Theatre stage on Feb. 28, he’ll see no nominated African-American actors before him. He’ll instead be greeted by a Hollywood beset by a crisis over diversity that has led to calls for a boycott of the broadcast, spurred the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to rewrite its membership bylaws and even sparked pleas for Rock, himself, to pull out.

In the ongoing fallout, Rock has loomed on the horizon like Judgment Day. But it’s unclear just what awaits the academy and Hollywood come show time. A reckoning? A catharsis? Awkward fits of laughter?

Probably all of the above.

What is certain is that a confluence of events has placed one of America’s most perceptive and sharp-tongued commentators on race smack dab in the middle of a storm that

could hardly suit anyone better. It’s safe to say that no Academy Awards opening monologue has ever been more anticipated. The spotlight on Oscar night will be trained on no one - not Leonardo DiCaprio or Jennifer Lawrence - like it is on Rock.

“This could be a defining moment for Chris Rock,” Cheadle told The Associated Press. “And I hope it is.”

Cheadle is far from alone. In the turmoil that has enveloped the Academy Awards since a second straight year of white nominees filled the acting categories, everyone from Spike Lee to George Clooney has had their say on the issue.

But despite constant clamoring - and TMZ cameras chasing him outside a comedy club over the weekend - Rock has been mum. Other than a tweet in which he unveiled his first promo for the show -and referred to the Oscars as “the White BET Awards” - he has stayed quiet amid uproar all around him.

Reginald Hudlin, who’s co-producing this year’s broadcast, sought to assure viewers, telling “Entertainment Tonight” that Rock is “hard at work” and that he had thrown out preparations and was now “writing a new show.”

“And, yes, the academy

is ready for him to do that,” Hudlin said. “They’re excited about him doing that.”

But Rock’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, on Monday shot down Hudlin’s remarks, saying the comedian “has made no decisions about the content of the show.”

The point was clear: No one is going to speak for Rock except Rock himself.

“All will be revealed on February 28th,” said Sloane, ominously.

His silence hasn’t stopped others from chiming in. R&B singer Tyrese Gibson and rapper 50 Cent have said Rock should step down. Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais encouraged Rock to start the show “in a KKK hood, then whip it off & say, ‘Sorry, it’s the only way I could get in.’”

Whoopi Goldberg has defended him: “Boycotting doesn’t work and it’s also a slap in the face of Chris Rock,” she said. And Arsenio Hall, who helped give Rock his start, said: “It’s so important that he’s on the mic that night.”

As one of the top standups in the country, the 50-year-old Rock has long weaved uncommonly frank and provocative discussions about race into his act, movies and TV shows.

His first comedy album, “Born Suspect,” was about being presumed guilty of

rollingstone.com

Chris Rock, known for his perceptive commentary, now finds himself in the middle of Hollywood’s diversity crisis. any crime because of his skin color. One of his most divisive routines was when he drew a contrast between “black people” and “n-----” in his special “Bring the Pain.”

In 2014, as he was releasing his last movie, “Top Five,” which he wrote and directed, Rock turned to Hollywood in a widely hailed essay in which he was both critical and sanguine about what he called “a white industry.”

“Just as the NBA is a black industry,” he wrote. “I’m not even saying it’s a bad thing.

It just is.”

He continued: “They

don’t really hire black men.

A black man with bass in his voice and maybe a little hint of facial hair? Not going to happen. It is what it is.

I’m a guy who’s accepted it all. But forget whether Hollywood is black enough. A better question is: Is Hollywood Mexican enough?”

In choosing Rock to host this year’s Oscars, the academy sought a kind of antidote to last year’s safer show, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. His presence creates a difficult choice for wouldbe boycotters: Tune out and you’ll miss a potentially riveting showdown. The prospect of such fireworks is ex-

pected to lift ratings for the telecast, which dipped for last year’s show - also the target of a boycott - to a sixyear low.

But for now, the only thing Rock has said publicly are the words of James Baldwin, in a Martin Luther King Day reading of the author’s 1963 letter to his nephew, “My Dungeon Shook.”

One excerpt: “The black man has functioned in the white man’s world as a fixed star, as an immovable pillar: and as he moves out of his place, heaven and earth are shaken to their foundations.

You, don’t be afraid.”

Marie Kondo is back with more cleaning and life advice in ‘Spark Joy’ NEW YORK (AP) — Marie Kondo is back.

Author of the international best-seller “The LifeChanging Magic of Tidying Up” (Ten Speed Press, 2014), Kondo became famous for advising readers how to transform their lives by sifting through their belongings one by one, embracing those that “spark joy” and bidding a fond but hasty farewell to the rest.

Her new book, “Spark Joy: an Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up” (Ten Speed), provides illustrations and more detail.

“After I published my first book, a lot of readers came with a lot of questions,” the petite, soft-spoken Kondo told The Associated Press, in Japanese, after a presentation to a packed auditorium at the Japan Society in New York.

Kondo is still commun-

ing lovingly with socks and blouses, folding clothes like origami and bowing in gratitude to her home. She also has a fresh perspective as a new mother.

“My daughter is only 6 months old, so my method hasn’t changed ... She cannot make a mess yet. What has surprised me most is the amount of stuff a baby needs,” Kondo said, sitting primly at the edge of her seat in an impeccable white top over a pale blue print dress.

“Once she gets older, I’m sure there will be a little bit of adjustment.”

With an understated sense of humor, she notes in her new book that one of the people with whom she has had to share her storage methods is her new husband, himself so minimalist that he moved in with only four cardboard boxes of belongings.

“I am learning that unspoken family rules differ from one household to another, and that storage methods I had assumed were obvious need to be properly shared and explained,” she writes.

Kondo’s earlier book had no illustrations; “Spark Joy” is full of her charming, child-like drawings of everything from organized kitchen cupboards, to folding techniques for clothes ranging from underwear to frilly blouses to hoodies.

“It is very important that you know how to fold clothes in the correct way,” she informed the crowd at the Japan Society, before daintily approaching a demonstration table where a small pile of unfolded clothing awaited. For one thing, “make sure you put a lot of love through your palms,” she said.

The audience - die-hard

fans and those new to her KonMari Method - applauded as Kondo quickly folded one item after another into a tiny cube, balanced each on edge to show how tightly wound it was, then tucked them neatly into what resembled a lidless shoe box.

“Wow, that’s so cool. How did she do that?” a man in the second row whispered to his neighbor.

Kondo suggests setting the boxes of origami-esque parcels in drawers so that each is a joy-provoking bento of delights.

What about those pesky possessions that fail to spark joy yet are undeniably useful? Well, functionality can be beautiful too.

“After discarding a hammer because the handle was worn out, I used my frying pan to pound in any nails,” Kondo writes. But after she threw out a screwdriver, “I

tried using a ruler to tighten a loose screw, but it snapped down the middle. This almost reduced me to tears as it was one I really liked.”

“All these incidents stemmed from youthful inexperience and thoughtlessness,” she continues. Things that make life simpler, “the recognition that a possession is useful in our lives these, too, indicate joy.”

“Spark Joy” includes advice on moving, packing and decorating with tiny, cheerful knickknacks (this is smile-inducing minimalism).

She even gives a nod to those who don’t thrill to tidying up. Kondo admitted to her New York audience that she regrets some of her earlier zeal in discarding her family’s belongings.

Or, as she says in the new book, “Only when we accept unconditionally people whose values differ from our

own can we really say that we have finished tidying.”

That said, her tidying empire is gaining ground.

Kondo’s books have been translated into numerous languages, her speaking engagements draw crowds and her waitlist for clients is over three months long.

She recently published a blank journal, “Life-Changing Magic” (Ten Speed), to help readers “spark joy every day”; she runs the Japan Joy-Sparking Tidying-Up Association (with two levels of membership fees); and she offers courses in Japan in tidying up and becoming a tidying consultant.

In the United States, Kondo told the AP, she has an app coming out this spring that “features a checklist of tidying, and also shows your progress in tidying.” And she is preparing to open a U.S. branch of her consultancy.

Myers, Adrian provide an unlikely scoring boost

In a low-scoring, sloppy game between the two best defensive teams in the Big 12 Conference, the West Virginia University men’s basketball team had to share the wealth.

Two of the beneficiaries were a pair of unlikely offensive sparks: junior forward Nathan Adrian, an oft-maligned Morgantown High School product making his first start of the year, and backup guard Teyvon Myers, a junior college transfer who has seen little meaningful action this season.

Adrian burst forward with a season-high 10 points filling in for injured starter Esa Ahmad, while Myers provided a welcome boost off the bench with seven points, three rebounds and an assist, easily his most effective showing in Big 12 play.

Although Adrian has struggled to hit from the outside for most of the last two seasons, he drilled two corner threes and scored the game’s first five points in an outing that garnered high praise from WVU head coach Bob Huggins, who called it the best game of Adrian’s career.

“I’ve been shooting the ball a lot better in practice,” Adrian said. “I’ve been working on it more, and hopefully I can just keep shooting the ball.”

But the biggest surprise came from Myers, who has generally been reduced to the role of hype man for the WVU bench during his first season in Morgantown. A big-time scorer in junior college, Myers’ struggles to settle in were such that Huggins had at times called the junior “lost.”

But Myers’ energetic performance could go a long way towards regaining his coach’s confidence.

“Teyvon dug himself his hole, but his attitude has been great,” Huggins said. “He’s starting to take advantage of the opportunities he receives.

The more positive things Teyvon does, the more confidence we’re going to have in him.”

With starter Daxter Miles Jr. struggling in the first half, Myers checked into the game during a particularly cold shooting stretch and made an instant impact. Myers hit a three, then drew a foul and hit two free throws a minute later – he added a banked-in jumper midway through the second half.

One of the highest scorers in the junior college ranks during his career at Williston State College, Myers has been noted for his hyper energy on the Mountaineer bench, and he’s had to focus on translating that to the court when Huggins calls his number.

“When I get into the game I have to channel this energy into the press,” Myers said. “I’m willing to do anything.

When the ball rolls on the floor, I’m going to go get it.”

By his own admission, Myers has struggled with nerves in his first season of Division I basketball, but he hopes the “sweaty hands” that have plagued him are going away for good.

“I have a lot of confidence,” Myers said. “The ball feels really good to me. I haven’t been getting the sweaty hands I usually get before games. I’m ready to go.” djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

Balanced attack leads No. 9 WVU past Kansas State, 70-55

By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

Despite struggling performances from most of the starting five, the Mountaineers had no trouble getting past the young, gritty Wildcats.

Nathan Adrian scored WVU’s (17-3, 6-2) first five points in his first start since last year, heading a balanced attack and keeping WVU in a share for first place, following Tuesday’s 70-55 victory over Kansas State.

“It’s a big win, it puts us in a tie for first,” Adrian said. “That’s always a good accomplishment with how tough our league is.”

Adrian’s season-high 10 points provided re-

lief in the replacement of the injured and highlytouted freshman Esa Ahmad (sprained knee), topping off the evening with a slam in the game’s final moments.

“I thought Nate (Adrian) had the best game of his career,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He passed the ball. He kept the ball moving. His passes were good. Defensively, he was really good. He made some shots, but I think his floor game was very good.”

Jonathan Holton tallied 14 points, his third-straight game reaching double figures. The bench outscored Kansas State 30-15, led by Jaysean Paige’s 12 points off the bench. Tarik Phillip had nine following Saturday’s career-high 22 point

display at Texas Tech.

“If everybody gets a piece, it works better for us,” Paige said.

But everything else crumbled amongst the starting five. Devin Williams had six turnovers and all of six points in 17 minutes of action. He fell into foul trouble once again, finishing with four.

Starting guards Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles combined for 10 points.

Jaysean Paige went 3-of12 from the field despite his 12 points. A 59 percent mark from the free throw line added to a few of the offense’s woes.

“We just don’t finish, and it’s hard when you can’t shoot free throws,” Huggins said. “You stand there with them, and they

make 20 in a row. You think maybe its fixed and they go out and they don’t do the same thing.”

The unlikely boost from Teyvon Myers off the bench provided a muchneeded spark to put the Wildcats away. Myers recorded his highest scoring total in Big 12 play with seven points on two-ofthree shooting.

It was Myers’ most points since a Nov. 23 matchup with BethuneCookman (10), showing flashes from last year’s bought as the top scorer in the junior college ranks.

“I’ve been a scorer my whole life,” Myers said.

“I can shoot the ball, I’m not worried about the ball missing. I’ve been hitting shots my whole life, I’m

just worried about locking down my man and helping my team win whatever way I can.”

Carrying a two-game win streak into a threegame slate that includes matchups with Florida, Iowa State and Baylor has the Mountaineers returning to their confident ways, a huge improvement mentally after last Wednesday’s defeat to Texas.

“Every win is important, you don’t want to accept a loss,” Paige said. “You always want to play hard every game and go for every win. It’s never acceptable to lose and we look forward to winning every game and that’s how we’re going to keep going.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ster the team’s confidence.

Last week, WVU entered the AP Top 25 at No. 25, breaking back into the polls for the first time since December 2014. West Virginia currently represents the Big 12 as one of four conference teams in the latest poll. No. 4 Baylor, No. 6 Texas, and No. 21 Oklahoma make up the remaining three programs, Oklahoma being the only team yet to face West Virginia.

Oklahoma comes into Wednesday’s head-tohead versus West Virginia with a 13-5 overall record, and 4-3 in the conference. The Sooners also visited the state of Texas this weekend, but could not pull out the victory in what was a hard fought

game against the No. 6 Texas Longhorns on Saturday. Three of Oklahoma’s five losses have come against ranked opponents, and the Sooners have only been defeated twice when at home this season.

“Oklahoma is very good at home,” Carey said.

“They shoot very well and have a good atmosphere at home.”

While the Sooners have split the last six games, going 3-3, West Virginia has been one of the hottest teams in the Big 12, winning five of their last six.

The Mountaineers are averaging 73.7 points per game, and are ranked 23rd in field goal percentage, shooting 45 percent from the field. Oklahoma holds

the edge in forcing turnovers, as the Sooners lead the Big 12 with 18.6 per game.

A season ago, WVU fell to Oklahoma twice, once in the regular season in Norman and in the Big 12 Conference Tournament quarterfinal.

If the Mountaineers find a way to come out on top Wednesday, it will be the first win for West Virginia over a ranked opponent this season.

Tip-off is set to begin 8 p.m. at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, as Jeff Culhane and Liz Repella will call the action on the IMG Mountaineer Sports Network. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Rifle

No. 1 WVU could have rhythm interrupted by snow

Kyle Monroe/The Daily Athenaeum

Patrick Sunderman aims at his target in a match against Nebraska last year.

BY Connor HICKS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Winter Storm Jonas, which brought a near-record snowfall to much of the East Coast, could create a hectic end of the season for the West Virginia University rifle team after it forced the postponement of the team’s trip to Navy.

The rescheduling of the match will create a situation that would require an unusual three matches in less than three weeks for the team, as the NCAA

qualifier on Feb. 20 is quickly approaching.

The No. 1 Mountaineers (9-0, 5-0 GARC) were originally supposed to travel to Annapolis on Friday afternoon, but classes had already been cancelled as much of the region had well over a foot of snow by the scheduled departure. A new date for the match has not yet been announced, but the result of the storm will likely be three matchups against top 11 teams in a span of two weeks.

The team is coming off two consecutive recordsetting performances, and

while an increased workload shouldn’t be a major concern, anything can happen. It will take time away from preparing for a difficult matchup against conference foe No. 3 Kentucky to conclude the regular season. WVU head coach Jon Hammond has put a major emphasis on moving forward and focusing on one match at a time.

“We have to keep working, and we have to keep doing the things we’ve been doing,” said Hammond in an interview with WVUsports.com following the team’s historic win

over Akron on Jan. 17. “We don’t want to get caught up on the outcome. We want to stay humble and grounded.”

It will be interesting to see if the disruption from Winter Storm Jonas will affect the scoring of the nation’s top team. The Mountaineers are averaging 4,712 points per match, which significantly outpaces the rest of the country. Hammond predicted that the team wouldn’t come out of the winter break at their strongest, after nearly two months off. That wasn’t the case,

as the team shot the two best scores in program and NCAA history.

The team will conclude the season hosting No. 9 NC State and No. 3 Kentucky, before being the favorites to win a fifth consecutive Great American Rifle Conference and fourth consecutive national title.

The match against Navy will likely be rescheduled sometime between the matchups against NC State and Kentucky. Assuming the team’s performance resembles that of the past two matches, the Moun-

taineers should easily be able to complete their first undefeated season since 2013.

The No. 1 Mountaineers will play host to No. 9 NC State on Saturday, Jan. 30 at the WVU Rifle Range.

The team will then conclude the season hosting No. 3 Kentucky, with the expected rescheduling of the Navy match still to be announced. Fans are invited to attend the match against the Wolfpack at the WVU Rifle Range, located behind the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Hockey, winter sports help pass the time during weekend storm

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The substantial amount of snow that the Morgantown area - and most of the Mid-Atlantic region - received this past weekend, as a result of Winter Storm Jonas, affected a number of West Virginia University athletic events.

The gymnastics meet against William & Mary was closed to the public, the rifle team’s match

against Navy was postponed and even the hockey team’s away game against Slippery Rock was postponed.

Video clips of a number of WVU athletics teams managed to go viral on the Internet over the weekend as a result of the storm, the most circulated of which is a short clip of two WVU swimmers diving from chairs into two feet of snow, wearing nothing but their swimming Speedo and “swimming” in the

snow.

The clip started off being circulated by WVU students on social media, but it was soon picked up by national sports media outlets, including Bleacher Report, ESPN and SportsCenter and USA Today and posted on their respective social media accounts.

In addition to the WVU swim team’s clip, the WVU hockey team also managed to go viral. With its game against Slippery Rock postponed and classes

cancelled, the Mountaineers shoveled snow off of a small, frozen trout pond in Cheat Lake and played hockey on the pond’s frozen ice. The photos of the Mountaineers’ wintry perseverance were retweeted by the NHL on NBC’s official Twitter account to their 289,000-plus followers.

“Some view snow as a problem. We view it as a solution! (stick tap @ WVUHockey),” tweeted the NHL on NBC. Video clips of WVU

students skiing and snowboarding around town, some while being attached to trucks with rope and pulled around the snowcovered roads, circulated over the weekend as well.

Although the recordbreaking snowfall shut down area businesses, schools and even the University for a number of days, people were able to utilize winter sports as a way to have fun.

With the West Virginia hockey team’s season winding down, the Moun-

taineers are setting their sights on CHMA (College Hockey Mid-America) postseason play.

They take to the ice again at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 29 at Indiana University of Pennsylvania at S&T Bank Arena in Indiana, Pennsylvania. They will return home the following day to face John Carroll University in a crucial CHMA conference matchup 4 p.m. at the Morgantown Ice Center. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

AP

Judge OKs reworked NCAA concussions settlement, including $70 million fund CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge in Chicago gave preliminary approval Tuesday to a reworked head-injury settlement between thousands of former college athletes and the NCAA that includes a $70 million fund to test for brain trauma.

U.S. District Judge John Lee praised the new deal for expanding potential plaintiffs to athletes from sports beyond football, hockey and other contact sports.

But he also suggested some changes before he can give final approval - including modifying what would have been a blanket protection for the NCAA from class-action lawsuits over concussions.

The core of the agreement remains largely the same. That includes the NCAA creating the fund to test current and former athletes for brain injuries they say they suffered while playing collegiate sports.

The tests would gauge the extent of neurological injuries and could establish grounds for individual athletes seeking damages.

The NCAA is also required to toughen returnto-play rules after a concussion, and all athletes will take baseline neurological tests to start each year to help doctors determine the severity of any concussion during the season. A new, independent Medi-

cal Science Committee will oversee the medical testing.

“After considering the voluminous materials submitted by the parties, the Court now preliminarily certifies the settlement class ... and finds that the amended settlement is within the range of possible approval,” Lee wrote in his 53-page ruling.

The NCAA admits no wrongdoing in the settlement and has denied understating the dangers of concussions. Officials at the Indianapolis-based organization did not immediately return a message left seeking comment.

The number of athletes who may require testing runs into the tens of thousands. In court filings, the plaintiffs cited NCAA figures that said from 2004 to 2009 alone, 29,225 athletes suffered concussions.

Lee on Tuesday also ordered the plaintiffs’ attorney to begin the process of notifying those who could qualify for settlement benefits.

In his December 2014 ruling rejecting the first deal, Lee portrayed it as unclear in sections and potentially underfunded.

Among the new elements in the reworked deal was stronger wording mandating that all NCAA member schools must adopt tougher concussion-management and return-to-play guidelines. If they don’t follow the NCAA lead, they could

lose some of the legal protections from lawsuits.

To keep the NCAA from having to hold unwieldy talks with multiple plaintiffs, 10 lawsuits filed from Georgia and South Carolina to Minnesota and Missouri were consolidated into the one case in Chicago, where the first lawsuit was filed in 2011. Combined, the suits identified several dozen athletes by name as having suffered brain trauma.

The lead plaintiff was Adrian Arrington, a former safety at Eastern Illinois who said he endured five concussions while playing, some so severe he has said he couldn’t recognize his parents afterward. Subsequent headaches, memory loss, seizures and depression made it difficult to work or even care for his children, filings said.

He later withdrew his support because of the settlement, singling out provisions that largely shielded the NCAA from class-action suits.

Another plaintiff who hasn’t withdrawn his support is former Central Arkansas wide receiver Derek K. Owens. After several concussions, he said he found he could no longer retain what he had just studied. His symptoms became so severe he dropped out of school in 2011, telling his mother: “I feel like a 22-year-old with Alzheimer’s.”

Blake Griffin breaks hand in scuffle, out 4-6 weeks INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Blake Griffin fractured a bone in his right hand while throwing a punch in an altercation with a member of the Los Angeles Clippers’ staff on the road and will be out at least a month.

The team said Griffin underwent a procedure on his hand Tuesday after being sent back to Los Angeles from the Clippers’ fivegame road trip. They are in Indianapolis to play the Pacers on Tuesday night.

In a joint statement, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers, who is also president of basketball operations, said Griffin threw the punch last Saturday in Toronto.

They said Griffin has a spiral fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his hand.

Monday that revealed the injury. His recovery time is expected to be four-tosix weeks, meaning he will miss the All-Star game on

Feb. 14 in Toronto, where he could have been picked as a reserve.

The altercation occurred just as Griffin was nearing a return from another injury. He has been out since Dec. 26 with a partially torn left quadriceps tendon.

Last fall, Griffin was involved in an altercation at a Las Vegas nightclub.

A man accused the AllStar forward of taking his cellphone and grabbing him after the man photographed Clippers players inside the club. The misdemeanor battery case later was dropped after prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence.

The Clippers are 11-3 in Griffin’s absence and in second place with a 2816 record in the Pacific Division.

Ex-CEO of World Sailing says he was fired over Rio’s polluted sailing venue RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The former CEO of World Sailing says he was fired for pushing to get rid of polluted Guanabara Bay as the sailing venue of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Peter Sowrey tried to change the venue, or at least have a “B plan” but says “I was told to gag myself on the subject.”

Andy Hunt took over just two weeks ago as the new CEO, and sailing is still scheduled to begin in August in the sewage-filled bay.

In interviews with The Associated Press, Sowrey and Hunt said the bay - overlooked by the famous Christ the Redeemer monument and Sugarloaf Mountain behind it - may give sailing the kind of television coverage it seldom enjoys.

It could also bring unwanted attention if sailors fall ill, or if floating rubbish - plastic bags to door frames to animal carcasses - fouls rudders and costs someone an Olympic gold medal.

Sowrey proposed moving the event to Buzios, a coastal resort about 160 kilometers

(100 miles) from Rio that has been host to large sailing events. Of course, it’s too late now for that change.

Sowrey, who left in December after only five months on the job, came to the governing body from the consulting company Accenture. He acknowledged he had little experience dealing with the politics that drive international sports federations. But he brought business acumen.

“The board felt I was way too aggressive,” Sowrey said. “They basically voted me out. I didn’t resign. The board finally told me to leave.”

Sowrey said looking at Guanabara Bay on “factbased, data-driven model we would never consider sailing in that quality of water.”

Independent testing of Guanabara Bay conducted by the AP over the last year shows disease-causing viruses linked to human sewage at levels thousands of times above what would be considered alarming in the U.S. or Europe. The tests include the venue for sailing,

but also Rio’s Olympic venues for rowing, canoeing, open-water swimming and triathlon.

About 1,600 athletes will compete in these venues during the Olympics, which open on Aug. 5, and hundreds more during the subsequent Paralympics.

Experts say athletes will be competing in the viral equivalent of raw sewage with exposure to dangerous health risks almost certain.

Many sailors have described the conditions as “sailing in a toilet” or an “open sewer.”

Viruses like those in Guanabara Bay can cause stomach and respiratory ailments that could knock an athlete out of the Olympics.

When he first learned of the AP analysis, Sowrey supported the same kind of independent viral testing.

But he was nudged to support the position adopted by the International Olympic Committee, the World Health Organization and local organizers; that the bacteria-only testing was sufficient.

“I was just stepping on toes,” Sowrey said.

Like many of the 35 federations that participate in the Summer and Winter Olympics, World Sailing gets much of income from the IOC. Sowrey and Hunt both said more than half of World Sailing’s annual revenue was from that source.

World Sailing’s executive board, which Sowrey said dismissed him, has two non-voting members - King Harald V of Norway and Constantine, the former king of Greece - and seven voting members. Some are former Olympians or former heads of national sailing federations.

Sowrey proposed Buzios as a replacement for Guanabara and showed the AP a 20-page dossier detailing the plans.

“I did a plan with Buzios and tried to push it through,” said Sowrey, who also lives part-time in the town. “I couldn’t win that battle, not internally at ISAF (World Sailing) and I couldn’t win it with the organizers. I was perplexed why there was no backup sailing plan. It’s only sailing after all, it’s not curing cancer.”

Buzios is no longer an option and Hunt knows the looming risks.

“There’ll be huge interest in how the (Olympic) regatta goes, and the problems that take place,” Hunt told the AP. Hunt has been weaned on sports politics. He was the CEO of the British Olympic Association, and the BOA delegation head for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, and the 2012 London Olympics.

“It (Guanabara) is not ideal,” Hunt said. “For one moment I’m not saying it’s ideal, but I do think there’s a huge amount of effort and attention going into this to ensure the safety of the athletes.”

His main worry is the floating trash, which will be policed during the games by a dozen rubbish collection boats, barriers used to block fetid streams that feed the bay, and helicopters to spot flows of detritus.

A sewer pipe to keep raw sewage from reaching the Marina da Gloria, the launching point during the Olympics, is supposed to be

ready by late March but is at least three months behind schedule.

Rio treats only about half of its raw sewage, so bacteria and viruses in the bay are long-term problems without short-term fixes.

“I think it’s hard to say there’s a lot more that could be done,” Hunt said.

“If there were limitless resources, maybe there’s more that might be done, but it has to be realistic.”

Hunt noted the bay was the venue for the 2007 Pan American Games, and Rio has held two Olympic sailing test events in the last two years. Hunt described these as “successful,” although many sailors complained about the stench around the marina, and teams took unusual precautions to avoid unnecessary contact with the water.

“I’m completely aware of the possibility and the challenge of how this (Olympic sailing) might get portrayed,” Hunt said. “The ultimate test - if we have delivered a great regatta - will be the response from the sailors.”
