Lack of interest plagues SGA election by jake jarvis staff writer @newsroomjake

Election season for the Student Government Association commenced last week, and Emma Harrison, SGA elections chair, points to a lack of interest as the reason why only one ticket has decided to run for office so far.

Her strategy thus far has been to spread the information on social media and by word of mouth.

Annual Human Rights Film Festival commences by rachel mcbride staff writer @rachelgmcb

This week, the West Virginia University Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will be hosting its premiere of the Annual WVU Community Human Rights Film Festival.

This festival will showcase a series of five films covering a range of themes including the justice system, human trafficking, drug abuse, life as a Muslim and the coal industry.

The festival will be held every Tuesday night from Feb. 2-March 8. The events are sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the City of Morgantown Human Rights Commission and West Virginia University Libraries. “(The festival is) important because of (the film makers) ability to bring people together,” said Ed Cole, diversity specialist and event coordinator for WVU’s Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

The goal of the film festival is to showcase critically acclaimed films addressing local and international human rights concerns. The filmmakers hope these films will create opportunities for dialogue within the WVU campus and community.

The festival exists to bring awareness to current social issues trending around the general public, Cole said.

“Knowledge is key, and it’s important to bridge communities together and learn from our differences,” Cole said.

The festival will kick-off with a public screening of “Blood on the Mountain,” directed by Mari-Lynn Evans at 7 p.m. on Feb. 2. in the Gluck Theatre at the Mountainlair. This documentary, by Evening Star Productions, investigates the economic and environmental injustices of corporate control in West Virginia and the ripple effect on American workers.

The film is being sponsored by the WVU Office of Multicultural Programs.

Following this presentation, there will be an open panel discussion regarding issues highlighted in the film.

Discussion panelists for the events include Bruce Stanley, a West Virginia native and lawyer who waged a 15-year battle against Don Blankenship & Massey Energy, as well as Maria Gunnoe, a 20-year community organizer in southern WV and 2009 Goldman Environmental Prize Winner. “(The films presented at the festival) are designed to bring interesting

“We really try to focus on social media, trying to tweet about the dates,” Harrison said.

Despite this claim, SGA’s Twitter account has not tweeted about the election nor any deadlines that need to be met to run for an office. The account retweeted one of Harrison’s tweets back on Nov. 18, which advertised an info session for interested candidates where she would explain the timeline of the election.

Nominations needed for Outstanding Librarian Award by cara devenney correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Once every three years, the Outstanding Librarian Award is granted to a librarian at West Virginia University as an affirmation from their peers.

The committee responsible for the award, the Library Faculty Assembly, receives and reviews all applications before deciding a winner. On March 31, a librarian who shows creativity, leadership and dedication will be announced as 2016’s outstanding librarian.

Nominations are accepted from WVU faculty and staff for both current and retired WVU librarians. The winner will receive a silver cup called the “Jefferson Cup” and have

Still, Harrison isn’t sure if more promotion would have changed the number of candidates. She speculated that, because of “the disconnect with administrators” and SGA, students get involved with other organizations to have a stronger impact on campus.

“I don’t know if you heard about the project to light up Woodburn (Hall), but that’s not going to get any where…” Harrison said. “I think students have to find a way to get things

For now, Julie Merow and her running mate, Mac McIntyre, have no competitors in their race for student body president and vice president respectively.

“There’s going to be people who say, ‘Oh, people don’t think they can beat her,’” Merow said.

“But then there’s also people saying there’s a lack of interest in SGA. I’m not sure about the first one, but there has been interest lost in SGA this year.”

“I mean, probably not,” Harrison conceded when asked if SGA had done enough to promote the election. “That’s a weak spot, because there isn’t really a section of the group that’s dedicated to such outreach.”

“The Outstanding Librarian Award is a special award that is a big deal for someone who works or has worked here,” said Hilary Fredette, the 2013 award winner.

Fredette, the head of access services and multimedia services, was recognized for instituting a room reservation system online, the charging systems for phones around the library and the beanbag chairs.

Linda Blake, a science librarian, was 2010’s award winner. Blake received the award for leadership and her outreach to faculty.

In addition to being a librarian, Blake teaches library research materials to students. She instructs three sessions to students in chemistry, geology, ge-

ography and forensics communications.

The award is only presented every three years because there are about 37-40 librarians, and the committee wants to make receiving it more special for the individual.

“The committee keeps the nominations totally secret,” Fredette said, “so when the winner is announced, it is a complete surprise.”

The first award was given in 2000, meaning this year’s winner will be the fifth.

Evan Hall, a pre-pharmacy student and access services department worker at the Downtown Campus Library, believes a dedicated librarian is someone who can cooperate with the rest of the staff in the library.

Candidates for W.Va. political office solidified by jake jarvis staff writer @newsroomjake

If you want to run for Governor of West Virginia, or any other elected office, you’re out of luck.

The period to file to run for all district, state and national offices in West Virginia ended Saturday.

Across the state, dozens filed with the Secretary of State Natalie Tenant to run for state and federal offices, and hundreds filed with their local county

clerks to run for countywide offices.

Save for Del. Saira Blair, only one West Virginia University student made the deadline on time.

That student, Eric Finch, is a freshman at WVU. He’s running to be the 51st District’s representative in the House of Delegates.

Though the election is still months away, Finch faces a series of fierce competitors. Also vying for the position are 13 other candidates. Each of the district’s five representatives

incumbents are all running again.

Those 13 people are Michale Acevedo, R-Morgantown; Bill Flanigan, R-Morgantown; Barbara Fleischauer, D-Morgantown; Cindy Frich, R-Morgantown; Evan Hansen, D-Morgantown; Nancy Jamison, D-Maidsville; Brian Kurcaba, R-Morgantown; John G. Lucas, D-Morgantown; Rodney Pyles, D-Morgantown; Billy Smerka, D-Westover; Joe Statler, R-Core; Barry Lee Wendell, D-Morgan-

town; and John Williams, D-Morgantown.

No one from Morgantown is running to represent the 13th District in the state Senate. Instead, Republicans Barry Bledsoe and James Clawson, and Democrats Jack Oliver and Roman Prezioso Jr. are running.

Secretary of State Natalie Tennant is being challenged by a member of her own party, Patsy Trescot, a former city councilwoman from Clarksburg. Both women will face Repub-

licans Barry Holstein, of Cross Lanes, and Mac Warner, of Morgantown.

In the 2014 mid-term election, Tennant unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Shelley Moore Capito beat her by a wide margin.

Former Delegate Mike Manypenny, a Democrat from Grafton, is challenging long-time politician David McKinley, R-West Virginia, for his seat as West Virginia’s First District representative in Congress.

All of the leading Repub-

lican and Democratic presidential candidates filed on time—with an added candidate.

Paul T. Farrell Jr., a Huntingtown, West Virginia lawyer and partner at Greene Ketchum, is running for president of the United States of America.

“There is nobody on the presidential ballot I want to vote for,” Farrell told the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

“I’m a better choice than ‘none of the above.’” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Musicians play samba at a street carnival parade during which health workers distributed kits with information about the Zika virus, on Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016. The sign reads in Portuguese : “Get out Zika.” Originally from Africa, Zika spread to Asia and was first registered in Brazil in the middle of last year, spreading like wildfire through the northeast thanks in part to the region’s widespread poverty, equatorial heat and chronic infestations of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which also spreads dengue fever and chikungunya.

WHO declares global emergency over Zika virus spread GENEVA (AP)—The World Health Organization declared a global emergency over the explosive spread of the Zika virus, which has been linked to birth defects in the Americas, calling it an “extraordinary event” that poses a public health threat to other parts of the world.

The U.N. agency took the rare step despite a lack of definitive evidence proving the mosquito-borne virus is causing a surge in babies born with brain defects and abnormally small heads in Brazil and following a 2013-14 outbreak in French Polynesia.

Monday’s emergency meeting of independent experts was called in response to the spike in babies born with microcephaly in Brazil since the virus was first found there last year. Officials in French Polynesia also documented a connection between Zika and neurological complications when the virus was spread-

ing there two years ago, at the same time as dengue fever.

“After a review of the evidence, the committee advised that the clusters of microcephaly and other neurological complications constitute an extraordinary event and public health threat to other parts of the world,” WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said.

WHO, which was widely criticized for its sluggish response to the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa, has been eager to show its responsiveness this time. Despite dire warnings that Ebola was out of control in mid2014, WHO didn’t declare an emergency until months later, after nearly 1,000 people had died.

“If indeed, the scientific linkage between Zika and microcephaly is established, can you imagine if we do not do all this work now and wait until the scientific evidence comes out?”

Chan said. “Then people will say, ‘Why didn’t you take action?’”

WHO estimates there could be up to 4 million cases of Zika in the Americas in the next year, but no recommendations were made to restrict travel or trade.

“It is important to understand, there are several measures pregnant women can take,” Chan said. “If you can delay travel and it does not affect your other family commitments, it is something to consider.”

“If they need to travel, they can get advice from their physician and take personal protective measures, like wearing long sleeves and shirts and pants and using mosquito repellent.”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has advised pregnant women to postpone visits to Brazil and other countries in the region with Zika outbreaks, though officials say it’s unlikely the virus could cause

widespread problems in the U.S. On Monday, health officials added four more destinations to a list that now includes 28 locations, most of them in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The last time WHO declared a public health emergency was for the devastating Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which killed more than 11,000 people. Similar declarations were made for polio in 2013 and the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

Such emergency declarations are meant as an international SOS signal and usually trigger increased money and efforts to halt the outbreak, as well as prompting research into possible treatments and vaccines. There are currently no licensed treatments or vaccines for Zika.

WHO officials say it could be six to nine months before science proves or disproves any connection between the virus and babies born in

Brazil or elsewhere with abnormally small heads.

Zika was first identified in 1947 in Uganda but until last year, it wasn’t believed to cause any serious effects; about 80 percent of infected people never experience symptoms. The virus has also been linked to Guillain-Barre syndrome, which causes muscle weakness and nerve problems.

Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota, said it was still unclear how Zika had evolved since it first emerged in Africa, but that even minor genetic changes might have major consequences.

“It could have just been some point mutation (in the virus) that has now made a big difference,” Osterholm said, adding it would likely take years to curb the mosquito populations capable of spreading Zika - and before local populations gain enough immunity for the

number of cases to fall.

Jimmy Whitworth, an infectious diseases expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said we might soon see babies born elsewhere with malformed heads as the virus becomes entrenched in other countries.

“It could be that we’re getting the strongest signal in Brazil,” he said. “But having these cases occurring and pinning it to Zika is tough.”

Whitworth said it was important for WHO to act quickly, despite the lack of definitive evidence that Zika is responsible for the surge in microcephaly cases.

“For situations like this, you have to essentially have a ‘no regrets’ policy,” he said.

“Maybe this will be a false alarm when more information is available months later, but it’s serious enough on the evidence we have right now that we have to act.”

Bright college teens held in death of ‘awesome little girl’ BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP)— Two Virginia Tech students who had bright futures appeared before a judge Monday in the death of a seventh-grade girl who was active on social media and apparently climbed out her bedroom window.

Nicole Madison Lovell, 13, was described as “an awesome little girl” who had a tough life - she survived a liver transplant as a young-

ster and suffered from bullying at middle school and online, her mother said.

Police found her body on Saturday, four days after she disappeared. David Eisenhauer, 18, is charged with her kidnapping and first-degree murder. Natalie Keepers, 19, is charged with improper disposal of a body and accessory after the fact in the commission of a felony.

Police in Blacksburg, Va., said they have evidence showing Eisenhauer knew the girl before she disappeared, but have not released any details about what led up to her death.

Ending terrorist influence in Nigeria The radical Islamist terrorist organization Boko Haram has wreaked havoc across several parts of Africa over the past few years. Most recently, Dalori, a village in northeastern Nigeria, was attacked with firebombs and suicide bombers on Jan. 30 in an event that left 86 people dead.

Thousands of people fleeing the group’s influence had already relocated to refugee camps across the country before the attack, but two camps geographically close to Dalori were also assaulted. A survivor reported hearing the screams of children burning to death during the attack.

Nigerian troops attempted to defend the village but were quickly overpowered by better-armed Boko Haram members.

Boko Haram, which means “Western education is forbidden” in Hausa, was created in 2002 and has been responsible for a number of chaotic events like prison breaks and

suicide bombings of police buildings. The group caused Nigeria to fall into a state of emergency in 2012 that continued into 2013 as the number of attacks increased.

The group gained infamy in April 2014 when it kidnapped several hundred Nigerian schoolgirls. Boko Haram members pretending to be armed guards escorted the girls out of the school and into trucks, where they were taken to camps run by other members of the group and sold as either cooks or sex slaves.

Exact numbers are still unclear, but 53 girls managed to escape and at least 219 are either missing or dead. The Nigerian government knew about the planned abduction up to four hours before it happened, but was unable to send troops to protect the school. After the abduction, the Nigerian government was criticized for its lack of swift action taken in retrieving the girls.

vocfm.co.za

Boko Haram has terrorized several countries in Africa over the past few years.

The issue gained worldwide social media attention after First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted a picture of herself holding a sign that read #BringBackOurGirls. Other celebrities and influential Americans followed suit shortly after.

However, efforts to recover the girls were never carried

out successfully.

Social media success does not equal actual change, and online activism does not necessarily lead to real-world results.

Though Internet users continue to demonstrate great compassion for the schoolgirls still lost, Boko Haram’s mission to deter students

from receiving an education in Nigeria was unfortunately a success, as more than 10,000 students left school due to its influence.

Now, after burning down a village and causing the deaths of children, online activism must become physical action. The measures that must be taken are

currently unclear, but the Nigerian military has indicated its forces are spread too thin to keep acts of terrorism at bay. Outside help will be necessary in the near future, as Boko Haram’s control over Nigeria simply cannot continue. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Learning to cook saves students time, money jenna gilbert columnist @ J3NN_1F3R

How often do you find yourself in the midst of a late-night study session when suddenly your stomach growls? Within minutes, you are probably on OrderUp’s website with your friends. For a while, my friends and I sometimes ordered out every other night. I kept this up for a solid month until I realized how big of a toll it was taking on my budget. However, many of my friends still eat out regularly.

The average meal made outside of one’s home will cost anywhere from $10-15.

When the average American eats out three to four times a week, this means quite a lot of money is spent on a single serving. The Simple Dollar, a money-saving website, estimates that the average American spends around $232 a month on restaurant food. This number is solely based on the cost of eating out and doesn’t include the money spent on food purchased at the grocery store to prepare at home.

If you are thinking there is simply no way one could spend more than $200 per month on restaurant food, consider this: Nearly ev-

reallyhealthyfoods.net

Foods like the fish and vegetables pictured above aren’t as difficult to make as they first appear. ery restaurant that delivers through OrderUp’s website adds a delivery fee of around $2 and requires at least an order of $10, with the addition of tax and processing fees on top of that. This alone is at least an order of $12 without tip, which should always be included. However, don’t think going out to a sitdown restaurant will be any cheaper. Business Insider found that chain restaurants like Applebee’s and Chili’s are just as expensive.

I won’t deny that restaurant dining has its luxuries.

For example, one does not have to stand in long lines at the grocery store and no time is wasted in preparing the meal. However, waiting in line is not so bad when money is saved in the long run. Between using coupons, rewards cards and rebate apps, shoppers can save up to half the regular price or more without losing quality.

Kroger, Target and Sam’s Club are all stores that use

some sort of shopper reward card. Most reward systems are free to join and can save money both at checkout and at the gas pump.

There are also phone apps that will pay money just for going grocery shopping at a specific store. Ibotta, an app I’m very fond off, is very useful as it takes just a few seconds to get cash back for purchases.

Two years ago, ABC News ran a story about a family of three who would spend more time eating take-out

than cooking at home.

The results were predictable: Eating out wasted both time and money. A family of three eating takeout meals of chicken and rice could spend up to $22, when a healthier option of fish and vegetables only costs $12 to prepare at home - only $4 per person.

Since most college students are feeding themselves each night, only spending $4 on a meal that can last at least three days as leftovers sounds

like something any student strapped for cash would appreciate.

There are many ways to save money, but figuring out what foods to make at home is another challenge in and of itself. Problems like not always knowing what ingredients need to be bought to fulfill a recipe if we aren’t following specific directions often plague the inexperienced chef. Luckily, we live in a time where two-minute videos showing step-by-step instructions for how to make nearly any cuisine under the sun are right at our fingertips.

For those who are concerned about the cost of buying groceries, the more often one buys, the better one will become at spotting discounts and getting the best deals. Certain ingredients and cooking aids like spices, flour and olive oil will last for extended periods of time, so there is no need to repurchase them every time you decide to try something new.

The process of learning to cook is incredibly rewarding. I highly recommend cooking at home a few times a week with friends and trying something new. I guarantee you will save money without losing the quality of a good night out. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Popular YouTubers receive backlash for dishonest moneymaking scheme kody goff columnist @retrosyk

Influential Internet personalities The Fine Brothers are known primarily for their “React” series of videos, which feature people of varying ages and demographics reacting genuinely to popular viral videos. The series is incredibly expansive, releasing numerous episodes daily. As such, the channel has acquired quite the following.

Now the Fine Brothers are seeking to expand their influence with an initiative they call “React World.”

Through React World, the Bros would license their show’s assets, concept and name to other YouTubers in exchange for a cut of the revenue. It may sound innocent enough, but the collective consciousness of the Internet was thrown into a somewhat understandable rage by this announcement.

When the Fine Brothers’ reaction videos first started to gain steam a few years ago, there was backlash to-

DA

The Fine Brothers have been criticized for using dishonest ways to make money off other YouTubers. ward the perceived “unoriginality” inherent in the mere concept of reaction videos. Much of the criticism stemmed from the videos simply consisting of the spontaneous reactions of people watching other videos, often with minimal editing done post-film-

ing. It was also upsetting to some YouTubers that reaction videos often received more notoriety and far more views than original videos.

Despite this, the series went on to become the Fine Brothers’ most successful property by a wide mar-

gin. The series attracted mainstream media attention many times, but the creators didn’t always like what they saw. The Bros have claimed more than once that syndicated television show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres have stolen their show’s format and

aired similar content to a much larger audience for profit. While it is illegal to steal a show’s format, filming people’s reactions is such a simple concept that it’s highly likely Ellen’s producers came up with the idea entirely on their own.

Now the Fine Brothers are attempting to dominate the “reaction video” market, as there is evidence to suggest the Fine Bros were attempting to trademark the very word “react” at one point in the past. Needless to say, the masses that make up the World Wide Web simply would not stand for such an affront to common sense.

Recently there have been many smaller, more underground controversies on YouTube and other video hosting sites. The majority of these involve copyright disputes, fair use issues and the general quality of content from popular YouTubers. Tremendous resentment for popular reaction channels and false copyright flags have been building over the past few months, but the Fine Brothers’ controversy just so happened to be the straw

that broke the camel’s back.

Ironically, the initial announcement prompted hundreds of reactions from YouTubers who felt the Fine Brothers were attempting to gain even more money in a dishonest way.

Twitter was also ablaze, as #UnSubTheFineBros has been a recently growing topic. There are currently numerous livestreams of people watching as the Fine Bros’ subscriber count drops at a steady pace. At the time of this writing, the Fine Bros have lost at least 900,000 subscribers, with the numbers still steadily dropping.

I believe this reaction is a positive example of “the marketplace of ideas.” In an environment like the Internet, which is unfortunately known for breeding cesspools of degeneracy, it’s good to see a potentially malicious idea get so thoroughly shut down by its consumers. The denizens of cyberspace may be an odd, fickle lot, but they have demonstrated they know corporate meddling when they see it. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

FeBREWary TAKEOVER

The Daily Athenaeum uncovers the tastiest craft beer breweries across West Virginia

by Brittany osteen A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

It’s finally February, and that means it’s FeBREWary. Almost every day, there will be a feature on a different local brewery, starting today with Chestnut Brew Works.

Chestnut Brew Works opened its new brewery just over a year ago. Its new taproom was opened in April 2015.

The brewery advertises five different drinks, the Halleck Pale Ale, Class II Wheatwater, Nate’s Nut Brown Ale, South Park Porter and Your Best Hoption.

The Halleck Pale Ale is described as “a

delectably hoppy beer without the harsh bitterness” on the brewery’s website.

The Class II Wheatwater is “a light-colored and refreshing wheat beer brewed with coriander and orange peel.”

The Nate’s Nut Brown Ale has a hint of chocolate and nuts, but is an Englishstyle brown ale with dark-roasted malted barley.

The South Park Porter is “a black colored robust porter boasting nutty and malty flavors/aromas, finishing with a slightly sweet, slightly piney character from late addition Chinook hops.”

Your Best Hoption is an Imperial India Pale Ale with “hops in the mash, hops in the

‘Conjunction’ showcases a collaborative work at CAC

by Mel Smith

A&E Writer @dailyathenauem

After two years in the making, West Virginia University School of Art and Design studio faculty members debut their artwork for the community to absorb and admire.

The Mesaros Galleries are exhibits in the Creative Arts Center that showcase artists’ exhibitions and tell the story of the artists’ specialization.

Fourteen faculty members of the WVU School of Art and Design have worked with printmakers at Artists Image Resource print shop, otherwise known as AIR, in Pittsburgh to create signature art projects. The original work has been showcased in the Mesaros Galleries since its debut Jan. 25. within the display titled “Conjunction.”

Throughout the past three years, individual artists of the WVU faculty traveled to AIR to work with Director, Robert Beckman and project printer Jennifer Rockage. The faculty produced original works that made use of the studio’s print facilities and expertise. This exhibit was shown in the AIR galleries in Oct. 2015 during the SECAC conference, a national organization for art and art history faculty.

The 14 faculty members who lent their skills and time to this project include assistant professor and coordinator of sculpture, Dylan Collins; professor and coordinator of graphic design, Eve Faulkes; assistant professor of Graphic Design, Joseph Galbreath; associate professor and coordinator of Electronic Media, Gerald Habarth; associate profes-

sor of sculpture, Jason Lee; associate professor and coordinator of Printmaking, Joseph Lupo; associate professor of ceramics, Boomer Moore; assistant professor and coordinator of interactive media design, Jeffrey Moser; assistant professor of graphic design Kofi Opoku; associate professor and coordinator of ceramics, Shoji Satake; assistant professor of painting, Amy Schissel; associate professor and coordinator of photography, Michael Sherwin; and associate professor and coordinator of painting, Naijun Zhang.

Curator Robert Bridges managed and programmed the Mesaros Galleries by displaying diverse exhibitions and unique artists periodically throughout the school year. The innovative, experimental art embodies the purpose of the galleries; to show how often art is changing within the market by hosting modern and contemporary artists.

Kristina Olson, associate director at the School of Art and Design, loves the creative responses that the seasoned artists made to the challenge of getting out of their comfort zones and responding to the expertise available at AIR. She is part of the committee that selects exhibitions each year and helped arrange the AIR collaboration. Olson describes how the title, “Conjunction,” came to be.

“The title alludes to the fact that these projects were made collaboratively with the artists working with the printmakers at AIR,” Olson said. “The resulting artworks are a conjunction of the artists’ individual ideas and typical medium with the print re-

sources available at AIR.” Professor and coordinator of sculpture, Dylan Collins, lent his skills, presenting prints titled “Fo’ Sho’,” and “Nuff Ced,” from his ongoing “Branded Woodblock Prints” series. Collins felt making prints for this exhibition was deeply rewarding because it forced everyone out of their comfort zones, compelling the faculty to approach art making from an entirely different vantage point.

“I believe this experience helped us grow not only as artists but as educators,” Collins said. “The best teachers are those who take seriously the role of being lifelong learners, continually welcoming new challenges and adding to their base of knowledge.”

This exhibit is special to the School of Art and Design, as the group faculty exhibition to foreground the work of all artists is scheduled only once every five years. The partnership with AIR through yearly student internships and graduate student exhibitions allowed the faculty to make the special work for the display. Olson believes students should take advantage of the easily accessible presentation of the galleries.

“The Conjunction faculty exhibition allows School of Art and Design students and the larger University and Morgantown communities a chance to see the innovative work being made by the artist/educators working here at WVU,” Olson said. “The Mesaros Galleries in the lobby of the Creative Arts Center have a long history of programming exhibitions of contemporary artists of important reputation.”

Olson believes all visi-

tors will find work that will interest them, from experimental, projected film to huge, colorful multimedia painting. The vast amount of types of art that are displayed through this presentation will likely be enjoyable for students of all kind.

Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, from noon to 9:30 p.m. The galleries are closed Sundays and University holidays, but special individual or group viewings are available upon request or appointment. The Mesaros Galleries will be debuting “Conjunction” until Feb. 26.

Riviera and heavy metal guests to jam out at 123 Pleasant St.

by Woody Pond A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The Thursday night lineup at 123 Pleasant Street is often diverse and jam-packed. This week, fans of heavy rock and pop punk can get excited for a fun show at Morgantown’s local music joint.

The Danger of Falling will be performing along with Tell No Tales, Wait For It and Riviera. All the bands are fairly local, with Wait For It being the only group from outside of Morgantown. This showcase of a few of the local punk rock scene will be a buzzworthy event, as some of the bands are really starting to break into the business, with recent signings, and announcements of studio time that promises new music and exciting new tour schedules as 2016 moves into its second month.

Melodic hardcore Christian band The Danger of Falling is bouncing straight from its huge mid-January an-

nouncement of being signed by independent label Imminence Records, to headlining at the 123 Pleasant stage. The band is scheduled to release and distribute its new EP “Hope/Well” through the label some time this year. This is exciting news and something worth celebrating at the bands show. This Morgantown-based band has been in action for more than five years and has finally earned an opportunity to bring music and presence to more of the East Coast, and eventually the whole country. Two of the band’s songs, “Dead Eyes” and “North,” can be purchased for $1 each on the band’s Bandcamp page.

Riviera, who is heading the event, has currently been working on recording a good bit of new music. Less hardcore than the other performers, Riviera is an upbeat and fun pop-punk band built on bouncy guitar riffs and the raw vocal talent of lead vocalist and guitar player Michael Higinbotham. In June, the band dropped a fourtrack demo entitled “Sarcasm at its Finest,” which is in-

dicative of the progress and new direction of the band.

Formed in 2012, the group ended up taking a hiatus until reuniting in 2014 with a new plan of attack on what style of band they wanted to be. Former Morgantown college music promoter Neal West has seen Riviera since their rebirth.

“The band’s energy is perfect for small settings…

The best time I’ve had watching them was on a small stage with the crowd packed up against it almost in their face,” West said. “Even with no room they still find a way to bounce around and never stop moving.”

All four bands are guaranteed to bring heavy distortion and a lot of excitement to the Pleasant Street stage.

They are all experienced performers who make music that is meant to be played and heard live. Tickets are $5 at the door, and the show is open to anyone 18 and older. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Keep your summer glow year-round Super Bowl an ap

by chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Cold temperatures, dry air and windy conditions can hinder any beauty regimen. The change from a humid summer to an arid and icy winter also brings about a change in beauty routines, nail colors and makeup trends. Taking over this winter are dark lips, light nails and deep moisturizers, all to accentuate skin’s bare and natural glow.

Just as the air switches from moist to crisp, your moisturizer should alter as well to adjust to the difference. As skin begins to dry, it can flake and become more sensitive. To prevent damage and ensure your skin will be provided with the nutrients it needs, Cosmopolitan Magazine suggested various moisturizers to help hydrate skin and protect it from the dwindling temperatures.

With the assistance of dermatologist David Bank M.D., Cosmopolitan recommended Olay Age Defining Hydration Day Cream to give skin its much needed dose of hydration. Packed with nutrients and SPF, this moisturizer will not only

replenish skin but also protect it from winter UV rays, which can be just as harsh as those we try and catch in the summer.

For a little more coverage and a deeper moisturizer for combination skin, Mario Badescu Buttermilk Moisturizer can also combat dry air. The cream is sheer, light and dries quickly without leaving a heavy residue on skin.

Experts with Cosmopolitan Magazine also suggested r e g u larly exfoliating throughout the winter months to keep skin fresh and rem o v e any excess flaking. Try Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub - with

touches of mint and minimicrobeads, this scrub rejuvenates and awakens skin.

After creating a nourished canvas, make-up trends such as light and natural coverage; deep, velvety lips; subtle winged liner and smoky eyes create a perfect winter look.

With the change in skin tone occurring from the summer transition to winter, it can be difficult to match skin color to different concealers and powders.

However, this winter, the all-natural look is trending with t h i c k brows, natural eyes and matte lips.

This trio can create an effortless look that’s easy to achieve

with little time. Because it requires no heavy coverage, it’s less difficult to try and match powders to winter skin tones for heavy coverage.

Add a light, feminine touch by applying a small amount of pink blush to cheekbones. To spice up the all-natural glow, add plumtinted smoky eyes and subtle winged liner to create a more dramatic look. Lighter colors such as nude-tinted orange eye shadows are also trendy this season, and the simple color gives a cool shimmer to eyes for a subdued pastel look.

While adjusting to new beauty and make-up routines may be easy, changing up your wardrobe for winter can be unbearable. Luckily, it’s easy to couple a summer piece with a heavier winter touch to keep you warm and give you more options for styling. A skirt can easily be paired with a sheer pair of tights, a sweater and boots for an effortless winter look.

Sleeveless dresses can also be paired with a statement coat, like a trench, petticoat or fur. To top off your winter look, add a light gold or gray nail polish. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Grease: Live’ reaches 12.2 million viewers NEW YORK (AP) — Fox’s live production of “Grease” fought rain, wind and personal tragedy to emerge a winner, with its audience of 12.2 million people eclipsing viewership for the last two musicals presented on NBC. The Nielsen company said Fox’s audience was more than three times what the network typically gets for a Sunday night. “’Grease’ is so much about joy and energy and youth,” said Marc Platt, one of the show’s producers, on Monday. “We decided we wanted to throw a big party to celebrate that and invite everyone and that’s what we did, and it turned out well for everybody.”

There was so much wind and rain a few hours before the start that producers were told that a major part of the set - the facade of Rydell High - would not be able to be used because it was unsafe. They scrambled to redo the affected scenes, but shortly before starting it was deemed safe to go ahead with the origi-

nal plans.

The dampness was evident during the opening scene of singer Jessie J singing “Grease,” as she walked on wet pavement and people carried umbrellas in the background.

Producers had tapes from rehearsals to use in the case of emergency and had to go to the backup plan once, when audio briefly cut out during “Born to Hand Jive.”

At the end of the show, Fox aired a tribute message to Greg Hudgens, father of actress Vanessa Hudgens, who played the hard-bitten character Rizzo. Greg Hudgens died of cancer the night before the show.

There wasn’t any question that Vanessa Hudgens would go on with the show, Platt said. Good thing she had no understudy.

The enormous production featured 21 sets across two soundstages and the back lot of Warner Brothers studio; actors were shuttled from scene to scene in carts

that were shown during the closing number. There was a live audience of 650 people who also served as extras.

“It was an extremely ambitious undertaking with all the logistics of the many stages, the live audience going in and out of stages and the actors moving around,” Platt said. “It really went off fabulously well.”

“Grease” beat NBC’s production of “The Wiz,” which had 11.5 million viewers shortly before Christmas, and Fox also had a bigger percenta g e o f

young viewers. NBC began the recent trend of putting musicals on live television with “The Sound of Music.”

The “Grease” audience was just under the 12.5 million who watched the Republican presidential debate last week on Fox News Channel - but “Grease” may inch past it with delayed viewing.

Fox on Monday also signaled its plans for a live version of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” this fall were still on when they announced the casting of Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford.

She will join Laverne Cox, Adam Lambert and Tim Curry in the cult classic.

opportunity for ‘CBS this Morning’ NEW YORK (AP) — The Super Bowl looms as an important opportunity for the people at “CBS This Morning,” although they have no plans to be anywhere near the San Francisco area.

CBS’ telecast of the big game is expected to give extra attention to the news show, which is steadily becoming a player in the morning TV world. CBS hopes new viewers tune in, and the show’s Gayle King has the spotlight of an interview with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during the pregame show.

“CBS This Morning” is expecting one of its biggest audiences on Feb. 8, the morning after the game, simply through people whose set will still be tuned to CBS because of the night before. Maybe they’ll stick around and watch.

Rather than send King or co-anchors Charlie Rose and Norah O’Donnell to the football field, show executive producer Chris Licht is keeping them in New York and trying to build the best possible show around them that day.

“If you do something connected to the Super Bowl, you may get a shortterm gain but nobody will make the connection that this is something that they should do as part of their everyday routine,” he said.

CBS’ morning news show had been an afterthought for decades and, even after the current trio began in 2012, it hasn’t left third place behind ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today.” So far this season, “Good Morning America” averages 5.06 million viewers, “Today” has 4.61 million and “CBS This Morning” has 3.41 million, the Nielsen company said.

But “CTM” has gained nearly a million viewers in four years, a startling figure at a time viewer declines are the norm. ABC’s trend line is down; “Good Morning America” has lost some 400,000 viewers in the past year. “Today” has done better lately, but is still about 300,000 viewers down from four years ago, Nielsen said.

Drawing on the networks’ strengths from the “CBS Evening News” and

“60 Minutes” broadcasts, the morning show has adopted a meat-and-potatoes approach that has clicked at a time its rivals have gone lighter. Its calling cards are the “eye-opener” segment that gives a quick video review of the day’s top talking points, and interviews that feature all three of the hosts.

“We’re putting on the news,” CBS News President David Rhodes said. “It’s not that complicated.”

One measure of success for King is the long-time crew member at CBS who never used to tell people who asked him what show he worked on. Now, she said, he tells them that it’s “CBS This Morning.”

The high-profile Super Bowl Sunday assignment is a vote of confidence for both King and the show.

Yet it does have its pitfalls.

King wants to get a sense of what life is like at the White House on game day and hopes to draw out some of the first lady’s sense of humor, and not take a simply straightforward news approach that would not be in keeping with the spirit of the day. But she doesn’t want to ignore the news, and doesn’t want to look silly.

“The one thing I don’t want to hear anybody say is, ‘Oh my God, that is so boring,’” she said.

Licht, who was lured to CBS from “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, flatly answers “no” when asked if he’s surprised at the viewership gain.

“I have to be honest,” he said. “I always felt that if the audience sampled us, they would like us ...

We all believed in our gut that there was a viewer that wasn’t being served in the morning, and we gave them that option of hard news.”

Rhodes knows better than to make any victory predictions in a time slot that, as King notes, hasn’t been a regular winner for CBS since the days of “Captain Kangaroo.” At least his rivals aren’t so far ahead that he can’t see their tail lights anymore.

“We have a lot more people watching now than when we’ve started,” he said. “So anything’s possible.”

A monetary ‘magician’ of dirty tricks in ABC’s new drama ‘Madoff’ NEW YORK (AP) — Don’t look to Richard Dreyfuss to defend Bernie Madoff.

Dreyfuss, who plays this rapacious investment guru in ABC’s miniseries “Madoff ” (airing Wednesday and Thursday at 8 p.m.

EST), isn’t about to plead Bernie’s case.

“But actors don’t only play people they approve of,” says the Oscar-winning actor who for years tried to launch a film project that would star him as Adolph Hitler.

Then he cites another object of his scorn he did portray - former vice president Dick Cheney in the 2008 feature”W.” “I think he deserves to go to jail for a million years,” says Dreyfuss, “but I could still play him. People forget that inside everyone is a bit of Dick Cheney, and as an actor you find those little moments when you’ve been a little bit Cheney. Or a little bit Bernie. Then you extrapolate that out to build the character on.”

Whatever his MO for channeling his inner darkness, it works for him here.

Charmingly, chillingly does Dreyfuss inhabit this self-proclaimed Wall Street “magician” whose colossal Ponzi scheme lost as much as $40 billion for tens of thousands of clients in more than 100 countries ranging from movie stars to elderly retirees.

Beside him for this monumental rise and fall was his devoted wife Ruth, who in “Madoff ” receives a raw but compassionate portrayal by Blythe Danner.

“She didn’t know,” declares Danner. “She was guiltless, as far as I’m concerned.”

The Emmy- and Tonywinning actress met with Ruth Madoff - who now lives in seclusion stripped of family, riches and good name - to prepare for the film.

“I didn’t ask her a lot of probing questions, but it was good to get a feeling of who she was: a composed, lovely lady,” Danner says. “She was picking up and going on as best she could. But you sensed a lot of pain.”

Dreyfuss says he had a similar opportunity: to speak by phone with Bernie Madoff.

“I turned it down. I thought, ‘What’s he gonna do, tell me the truth?’ It would be an exercise in futility.”

His crime was notable only for its epic scale. Indeed, the ripple effects of his racket even reached the “Madoff ” production last year, according to the film’s director, Raymond De Felitta.

During the shoot, New York-area country clubs proved cost-efficient “for mopping up several locations - a dining room, an apartment, a golf course at one site,” he notes. But he was caught off-guard by the welcome with which the film crew (and its fees) were greeted.

“I told the guy at one Long Island country club, ‘I remember when country clubs didn’t allow film crews to shoot there,’” De Felitta says. “He explained, ‘Madoff wiped out a lot of our membership. We need the money.’ From prison, Bernie was helping us make the film!”

De Felitta (who also directed the 2009 indie feature “City Island”) calls

abcnews.go.com

Richard Dreyfuss plays Bernie Madoff in ABC’s new drama miniseries ‘Madoff.’

Madoff “villainous. But you have to show him as human.”

Helping humanize the portrait is Madoff ’s relationship - domineering yet caring - with his wife.

Dreyfuss calls attention to a tender moment after Madoff ’s bare-knuckles disclosure to his family that he’s a fraud who’s headed to jail, and they’re broke. His two sons storm out of the room. “But he can tell that Ruth still doesn’t understand. She says to him, ‘What do you mean?’”

Reverting to his cus-

tomary mode of protector, Madoff tries to soothe her: “I don’t think we should go into the details right now.”

“It’s so loving,” Dreyfuss says.

“It could have been very dismissive,” says his co-star. “But the way you played it, isn’t.”

The chemistry is obvious between them: For Dreyfuss, 68, and Danner, who on Wednesday turns 73, “Madoff ” is their fourth project together.

“I’ve known Richard since he was 19,” says Danner.

“That was the very be-

ginning of my career,” Dreyfuss laughs, “and SHE had already won a Tony!”

They were performing “Major Barbara” at Los Angeles’ Mark Taper Forum, with Danner in the title role of the Shaw classic.

“I used to walk her to her car in the parking lot,” Dreyfuss recalls, “and I had SUCH a crush on her - oh, my God! But she was married, so that was that.”

Their latest joint venture won’t be the last cinematic word on Madoff ’s infamy. “The Wizard of Lies,” starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer,

awaits HBO viewers next year.

“All during our shoot, we knew about it,” says Dreyfuss. “Quite frankly, as an actor I kept looking over my shoulder: Are they gaining on us?”

Unlike the chronologically plotted “Madoff,” HBO’s film is expected to take a retrospective tact framed by Madoff as he serves his 150-year sentence.

“In order to understand Bernie Madoff,” says Dreyfuss, unforgiving but still clearly captivated by the man, “you probably have to see both films.”

New York Post

New York Giants safety Tyler Sash tragically passed away last week.

During a 15-year NFL career that sent him pinballing over the middle of the field too many times to count, absorbing hits as wicked as they come, former Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley endured injuries that literally ran from head to toe.

And while, by his own estimate, that included at least a dozen concussions, the only health issue that made him seriously contemplate quitting the game was a problem with a small bone in the middle of his foot in his fourth season.

“I told my wife, ‘This is it.

I’m done. I can’t deal with this pain every day,’” Stokley said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Yet he pressed on. Eventually the foot pain subsided.

The concussions? Those kept accumulating. Stokley, essentially, shrugged them off, despite the seemingly unending drumbeat of news

about the dangers of head injuries. During his playing days, he was more worried about short-term effects than later-in-life ones.

“The thing with concussions is, usually, you’re out a week or two, and then you’re back fine,” said Stokley, 39, who caught passes from one of this week’s Super Bowl quarterbacks, Peyton Manning, while both were with the Broncos and, before that, the Indianapolis Colts. “But you mess your knee up, you’re out a year.

You mess your shoulder up, you’re done for a year.”

That nonchalant attitude toward concussions that Stokley held while he was active in the league is not all that different from what was expressed by many current NFL players in an AP survey conducted this season and released Sunday. Less than half of the group - only 39 of the 100 players - said they are more worried about

the long-term effects of concussions than those of other injuries.

Of the remaining 61 players, 20 either said they are not concerned at all about concussions or less concerned about them than other injuries, while 41 said the concern is equal for all injuries.

“Personally, I don’t think about head injuries. They don’t affect me,” said Nikita Whitlock, a New York Giants special teamer. “I wonder: What are my joints going to be like in 20 years?

How will my knees hold up in 20 years? What about my shoulders and wrists? These are the real weak points of your body.”

That sort of sentiment was heard repeatedly by AP reporters, as if players were ignoring everything related to head trauma and football.

Just last week, a member of the Giants’ 2012 Super Bowl championship team

who died at age 27, safety Tyler Sash, was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The disease is linked to repeated brain trauma and associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia.

Sash was just the latest CTE headline: The suicide of Pro Football Hall of Famer Junior Seau. The sudden retirement of San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Borland. The concussionrelated lawsuits brought by former players. Various safeguards added by the NFL, including attempts to increase in-game monitoring of head injuries and more vigilant policing of illegal hits.

During regular-season games, the NFL said Friday, there were 182 reported concussions, a 58 percent increase from a year ago.

And yet ...

“Not worried,” Oak-

land Raiders running back Jamize Olawale said.

“I think it’s blown out of proportion.”

“You can get a head injury from anywhere,” Houston Texans cornerback Charles James said. “A dude could sucker-punch me, and I could get the same injury I get from hitting a running back head-on.”

There is, to be sure, a segment of the NFL population that takes concussions and their consequences seriously.

A few players interviewed by the AP mentioned the ability to repair knees or hips, “but you can’t get a brain replacement.”

“I’m not trying to lose my memory. I need to know what’s going on in my life,” Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay said. “If you get hit in the head and have a concussion, you might forget who your son is, your momma is. I ain’t got time

for that. ... You can take the legs.”

As eight-year defensive end Chris Long of the Rams put it: “I try not to think about it, but the evidence seems to be mounting that we’re in trouble. Eight years in, the damage is done.”

Now out of the NFL for two years, Stokley was asked if he has any concussion symptoms.

His reply: “I’m not really wanting to discuss my standing right now.”

As the conversation continued, he noted that he thinks the NFL is improving how it handles head injuries. And that, in turn, is changing how concussions are discussed in the locker room.

“If a guy’s out for a couple weeks with a concussion, you’re not getting the same kind of stares you did 10 or 12 years ago,” he said. “It’s a serious injury, and they need to treat it like that.”

DJ DESKINS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

John Scott saga proves to be an F-U to the NHL If you missed last weekend’s National Hockey League All-Star Game, you missed an early favorite for sports story of the year come to a dramatic and satisfying conclusion.

Nashville was an unusual host for the event, but provided players and fans with one of the best All-Star atmospheres in recent memory.

A weekend typically highlighted with speed, flash and power as the world’s best gathered to flaunt their skills was wildly different from years prior. Not necessarily because of the new threeon-three format, which was an absolute success, or the same display of talent people love to see from the league’s top tier, but from the rise of an unlikely star: John Scott.

Scott is a name familiar with Arizona Coyote fans, but likely unfamiliar to most NHL supporters.

Had you not followed the “John Scott Saga,” you missed a roller coaster of events that left you laughing, scratching your head, cheering and screaming profanities at whatever screen you were staring at.

Scott, despite his 6-foot-8 frame, is your typical NHL enforcer, infrequently seeing the ice and throwing fists whenever his team needed a spark. One thing he wasn’t was an All-Star.

In the NHL’s excitement to promote the new format, they opened All-Star voting to any player fans wished to nominate. With the league clearly not understanding how the Internet works, the John Scott movement began.

In Scott’s article with the Player’s Tribune — which if you haven’t read “A Guy Like Me,” go read it — he mentions talking to a teammate about how he’s ranked 30th in fan voting.

His unnamed teammate told him plainly, “They’ll never let you play.” Spoiler alert.

The NHL called Scott and asked him to release a statement asking fans to stop voting for him and instead for players who are actually All-Star caliber.

He felt inclined to agree and endorsed his teammates instead.

But the Internet doesn’t care about your agenda, John Scott.

After weeks of votes pouring in, Scott found himself not only the topvote getter in the Pacific Division, making him that side’s captain, but the topvote getter in the NHL. The game suddenly mattered to him. When else would he get the opportunity to play in this game? His teammates, his family and NHLers throughout the league seemed to all think the same. “Go for it” was the common theme.

The NHL lobbied with Scott to get him to withdraw, but he refused.

Whoever he spoke to asked him if participating would be something his two young daughters would be proud of. I’m not even a parent and that aggravates me.

Days later, Scott was inexplicably traded to the Montreal Canadiens, given the news while joking with his teammates and trying on his personalized All-Star Game gloves.

Scott and most hockey players would agree that enforcers on winning teams don’t get traded midseason, which hints at some sort of foul play.

Regardless, he played in the Atlantic Division and their roster had already been set, so he would miss out on the weekend of a lifetime.

After a massive uproar from fans everywhere,

BRAVING THE STORM

KRISTEN UPPERCUE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU’s Jevon Carter probes the defense last week against Kansas State.

WVU staying the course without Holton, at Iowa State tonight

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

Missing one of its most important players, the West Virginia University men’s basketball team desperately needs to find a new equation heading into its toughest stretch of the season.

But with starting forward Jonathan Holton still suspended and a major road test at Iowa State (16-5, 5-3 Big 12) coming tonight, the No. 14 Mountaineers (174, 6-2) don’t have the time to make changes. They can only suck it up and move on.

“I don’t think we can change anything,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “We just have to put someone else in that spot.

We can’t make, at this point in time, wholesale changes with only two days of prep for every game.”

All season long, Holton has been one of West Virginia’s most reliable players, the engine of its press and its most tenacious offensive rebounder. Holton

is at the center of everything WVU does well, and his suspension for a violation of team rules — he’s also expected to at least miss Saturday’s game with Baylor — throws a wrench into Huggins’ plans.

The early returns weren’t good, as West Virginia went down quietly, 88-71, to SEC opponent Florida on Saturday afternoon. Huggins slotted junior Nathan Adrian into Holton’s spot, and while the Morgantown High School product responded with a respectable 10 points on 4-5 shooting, Holton’s energy was sorely missed.

But Holton’s absence wasn’t the only factor, as WVU’s poor shooting continued to hurt them. Outside of Adrian, WVU’s starters shot just 8-27 from the field, and starting guards Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. continued extended slumps.

“We can shoot the ball better, that’s for sure,” Huggins said. “We can shoot it better from the field and the foul line. They make them in practice. Generally when

you make them in practice, you can make them in the game, although that hasn’t happened as much as we would like it to this year.”

It’s a worrying trend, and one that needs to be reversed if West Virginia is to overcome Iowa State tonight.

The Mountaineers have yet to win a game at Iowa State’s Hilton Coliseum since their move to the Big 12, and they aren’t the only team to have struggled to find their game in one of college basketball’s toughest arenas.

“Hilton Magic” claimed another victim last week, as the Cyclones pulled away in the second half to knock off then-No. 4 Kansas, 8572. While Iowa State lost to No. 5 Texas A&M on Saturday 72-62, it was enough to push them to No. 13 in the AP Poll, just ahead of West Virginia.

Although the Cyclones were forced to replace highly successful head coach Fred Hoiberg, who left to head the NBA’s Chicago Bulls after winning two consecutive Big

12 Tournaments, former Murray State coach Steve Prohm has ably stepped in at the controls of one of the Big 12’s most talented rosters and continued to win.

Iowa State has a tendency to find itself in highscoring shootouts — they have the worst scoring defense in the Big 12 (73.5 points allowed per game) but boast the conference’s third-best offense at 83.3 points per game.

Despite their porous defense, the Cyclones have the firepower to keep up with anyone, running an offense centered through multitalented senior forward Georges Niang (19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game) and one of the conference’s most skilled point guards, junior Monte Morris, who is second in the Big 12 in assists (6.9 per game) and poses a major threat to break WVU’s press with his ballhandling.

Iowa State blew West Virginia out 79-59 in the Mountaineers’ trip to Ames last season, behind 19 points from Morris and

16 points from guard Abdel Nader. Iowa State also beat WVU 74-72 in Morgantown, with Niang and Nader doing much of the damage.

But Iowa State comes into tonight’s game at less than full strength. Niang picked up knocks to his foot and hip against Texas A&M, while senior Jameel McKay, Iowa State’s leading rebounder and thirdleading scorer, has been bothered by knee tendinitis. Starting shooting guard Naz Long went out with a hip injury in mid-December and will not return this season.

If West Virginia can exploit a banged-up Iowa State squad tonight in Ames, it’ll be a major boost in a tough conference stretch. The Mountaineers face No. 15 Baylor on Saturday in Morgantown, then travel to face No. 7 Kansas next week.

The West Virginia-Iowa State game is set for 9 p.m. tonight, and will be aired live on ESPN2. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Mountaineers look to end losing skid at Texas Tech

By Alec Gearty Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia women’s basketball team (16-6, 5-4 Big 12) is in the midst of a two-game losing streak, coming at the hands of conference foes Baylor and Oklahoma. The team will get a chance to snap its streak tonight as it travels to Lubbock to face the Texas Tech Lady Raiders (11-10, 2-8 Big 12).

WVU’s Bria Holmes recorded a team-high 18 points when the Mountaineers last met the Lady Raiders, and despite dropping a crucial conference matchup against Baylor on Saturday, Holmes is already focused on tonight.

“It’s over and done with now, we took the L,” Holmes said. “We just have to regroup and refocus and get ready for Texas Tech.”

Since its appearance in Morgantown, Texas Tech has won two of its last six games. Both the Lady Raiders and Mountaineers are trying to finish strong in the last month before the Big 12 Championship Tournament.

During its Jan. 9 meeting, WVU’s defense put on a clinic in the second and third quarters, which can be considered one of its top defensive performances this year.

The Mountaineers’ defense held the Lady Raiders to 15 points in the second and third quarters, forcing TTU to turn the ball

on the line. The duo has combined for a total of six Big 12 Freshman of the Week Honors, including both earning the recognition on the week of Jan. 18.

While the Lady Raiders have a terrifying one-two punch, it isn’t very deep on its bench; the Mountaineers’ offensive depth, however, tends to win the game a lot of the time. In the past three games, Martin and Jessica Morton have been the primary Mountaineers to come off the bench and record double-digit point to-

tals. While one player may be shut down, West Virginia has the offensive depth for the next person to make an impact.

The trip to Lubbock may prove to be what West Virginia needs to position itself back in the conference competition. West Virginia is currently fifth in the Big 12, and a win against Texas Tech, which has had problems in conference play, could serve as a boost of confidence. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Wayne Selden Jr. Selden’s night was highlighted by a thunderous slam on 6-foot11 freshman Skal Labissiere. It was a huge bounce back after a 13-point loss to Iowa State the previous game. Despite a lower conference record, they own a 102-74 rout of Baylor earlier this year.

3. Baylor (17-4, 6-2) A combined 33 points from Rico Gathers and Taurean Prince kept Baylor in first place following a 69-65 win at Oklahoma State. Five players also reached double-figures in Saturday’s 10-point win over Georgia. They’ve won seven of eight, with the lone loss coming to No. 1

Oklahoma.

4. Iowa State (16-5, 5-3) Saturday’s loss at No. 5 Texas A&M won’t affect the team’s ranking, especially with a victory over No. 4 Kansas last Monday behind a 24-7 second half run. Georges Niang led the way with 15 second-half points, along with 21 total points from Monte Morris.

5. West Virginia (17-4, 6-2) Jonathan Holton’s suspension couldn’t have come at a more crucial period, with the next three matchups featuring Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas. The defense struggled without him, losing the

turnover battle to Florida and allowing the Gators to hit 60 percent from deep in the 88-71 loss. However, WVU still remains tied for first place after last Tuesday’s victory over Kansas State.

6. Texas (14-7, 5-3) They call it “Havoc” under Shaka Smart, and it’s beginning to dawn on a new era. The Longhorns forced 13 turnovers in Saturday’s 72-58 victory over Vanderbilt, highlighted by Kerwin Roach’s four steals off the bench.

7. Kansas State (13-8, 2-6) Following a 15-point defeat at West Virginia, coach Bruce Weber’s team

responded in impressive fashion. The Wildcats held Ole Miss star Stefan Moody in check, holding him to 10 points and not allowing him to attempt a shot in the second half, a crucial part in its 69-64 victory.

8. Texas Tech (12-8, 2-6) Three straight defeats have the Red Raiders struggling to regain their identity, topped off with an overtime loss to Arkansas. However, two of their losses have come to top 10 teams and the other came to an Arkansas team which recently beat No. 5 Texas A&M. 9. Oklahoma State (1110, 2-6)

After a near upset of Baylor, the Cowboys responded with a 74-63 victory over Auburn. True freshman Jawun Evans led them with 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists.

10. TCU (10-11, 1-7) TCU regrouped and ended a five game skid, defeating Tennessee in 75-63 fashion. Down 14 at halftime, the Horned Frogs scored 48 second half points and were led by a near double-double effort from Chris Washburn (14 points, nine rebounds).

Its only conference win remains against Texas back on Jan. 9. cgjackson@mix.wvu.edu

Great. Story’s over. Everyone wins, right? Well, Scott did more than win.

and his fellow all-stars sent a big collective “Eff you” to the league with each of their actions.

The only ovations bigger than Scott’s were those of the hometown players, and every player who was asked was nothing but supportive of his presence in the locker room.

Come Sunday, fans

The building erupted despite Rinne, a hometown Nashville Predator, getting beat.

Just more than 10 minutes later, Scott would find the net again in the top shelf with a defender draped on his back.

The Pacific would win game one and play the Atlantic in the championship.

A shocking 1-0 finish in favor of Scott’s Pacific sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Although he wouldn’t adorn the stat sheet in the final game, fans couldn’t help but chant “MVP” every time his blades hit the ice.

His night would end with fans voting him the AllStar Weekend MVP, earning him a new car on top of

his share of $1 million for winning the three-on-three tournament.

Scott embraced his daughters on the ice after the game, likely still in disbelief of the events of the past 48 hours. I’d say they were pretty proud of their dad.

would have to wait until the second game to see if he could keep up and, like all great underdog stories, Scott shocked the world.

It took 47 seconds for him to notch his first goal and it was no fluke. He received a pinpoint pass from San Jose Sharks forward Brent Burns and slid it past an outstretched Pekka Rinne.
