SGA passes condom resolution by corey mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

During the weekly meeting held by the West Virginia University Student Government Association, a resolution was passed to increase the accessibility of condoms to the student body, along with passing grants to the Master of Business Administration program and the African Student Association.

Governor Michael Ibekwe gave a presentation during the meeting explain-

ing the necessity for an effective way of distributing condoms to students on campus.

Ibekwe, citing an opinion article published by the The Daily Athenaeum, stressed that the student population is heavily in favor of condoms being readily available on campus.

“Students know that they want this and they know that they need this,” Ibekwe said.

During Ibekwe’s presentation, several statistics were given showing the need for a steady availabil-

ity of protection. Only 54 percent of students are using condoms regularly during sexual intercourse, and one in four college students has a sexually transmitted infection.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 76 percent of the cases of chlamydia, and 59 percent of all of the gonorrhea cases in the state of West Virginia during 2012 were from people between the ages of 15-24.

“We want to make this (condoms) accessible, affordable and discreet,” Ibe-

kwe said.

This decision passed by SGA will ensure that condom dispensers are placed in convenient locations around campus. “We want to put them in both male and female bathrooms across WVU’s campuses, and we want to make them affordable. Six IFC fraternities already have these dispensers in place, this is just something we want to expand to the rest of campus,” Ibekwe said.

WELLWVU is also involved in expanding the distribution of condoms on

campus. WELLWVU’s Office of Wellness and Health Promotion currently has 30 condom dispenser boxes ready for approval and placement.

“This is something that they are putting money behind, this (is) something that we really believe is going to evoke change in the culture of this campus,” Ibekwe said.

Ibekwe also assured that this new motion would be at no extra charge for students, since condoms are already

Cycling club takes determination, skill Student forms fly fishing club after finding no other alternatives by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Cycling Club is encouraging students to come out and see what the sport is all about, and consider becoming a new member. The club participates in three biking seasons: mountain, cyclocross and road. Each season focuses primarily on racing in competitions.

In past years, the club has won many conference championship titles. Recently, club member Merv Davis competed in the national cyclocross competition. Davis placed 31st out of 91 contestants. The race was held in Austin, Texas.

Mountain biking coordinator and club member Tess Senty is confident the club sport team will continue to win more championship titles in the future.

Incoming college students have hundreds of opportunities to join clubs and meet new people who share the same passions. But when Derek Edwards, a junior chemical engineering student came to West Virginia University, he was disappointed to find nothing related to his sport.

So in spring of 2013, he started the Fly Fishing Club.

“It’s awesome for me. I’ve always wanted to give back in my own way. It’s something I’ll be able to leave behind at WVU and increase our generation’s involvement in the sport,” Edwards said.

fishing that uses artificial hand-tied “flies” that resemble insects living in the water to catch fish.

“The fly is cast with a fly rod, typically 9 feet, and special fly line,” he said. “The weight of the line is used to load the road and propel the fly to your target in the water.”

The Latrobe, Pa., native immediately fell in love with fly fishing 12 years ago and competed nationally at the junior level before coming to WVU and starting the Fly Fishing Club as a freshman.

“We do everything from stream restoration, taking kids to ponds and teaching them how to fish and we go on outings and have a good time,” Edwards said.

Yesterday evening, CEO of Haskins Laboratories Philip E. Rubin presented a lecture to West Virginia University students on biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects. The discussion covered the history, ethics and privacy of human testing.

The contemporary origin of human subject protection began in 1949 with the creation of the Nuremburg Codes, which came from the Allied military tribunals that prosecuted high-ranking Nazi officials. This created code, which was used to judge the human experiments conducted by the Nazis, eventually became the international standard for administered human testing.

Another shameful act of human testing that led the way for federal laws determining the ethics and legality of human testing was the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. This experiment, which lasted from 1932-1972, tested the effects of syphilis on several black males who had contracted the disease.

The experimenting doctors told the patients they were being treated for “bad blood,” and that they would be taken care of free of charge for partaking in the experiment.

However, the patients were never told they had syphilis and in the 1940s when the cure for syphilis (penicillin) was discovered, they were never administered the cure. The experiment officially ended in 1972 after a whistleblower came forward with the study.

The grotesque revelation of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment led to the creation of the 1979 Belmont Report. This report laid out ethical guidelines for human subject research.

“The three essential ethical principles for human subjects research that emerged from the Belmont report are respect for persons, beneficence and justice,” Rubin said.

The first, respect for persons, regards informed consent. Since the Belmont Report, no human experiment can take place without the subject’s informed consent.

Beneficence means the experiment should “do no harm and maximize possible benefits and minimize possible harms.”

Justice is when the experimenters give more than they receive and make sure no underprivileged or disenfranchised people are taken advantage of because of their easy accessibility.

These ethical practices are still in effect today and are constantly being updated and rehashed to keep up with the advances in technology.

The most widely used set of codes that pertain to human testing are known as the “Common Rules.”

This set of codes was writ-

The Literacy Volunteers of Monongalia and Preston Counties have put a new spin on public libraries. The Ruby Reed Mini Library Boxes look like enlarged mailboxes, but they contain between 2530 books at a time, are accessible 24/7 and operate under a “take a book, leave a book” policy.

“The idea of public libraries is to give kids access to books who normally would not have access to them,” said Nathaniel Collins, a Preston County Basic Reading Americorps VISTA volunteer. “Libraries have limited hours, limited days that they’re open and sometimes parents are unable to bring their kids to those libraries or sometimes the towns don’t even have libraries in them.”

There are currently four mini libraries in operation, with a plan to build six more before the end of the month. The four boxes in use are located at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, next to the bus depot; Monongalia Friends Meeting House on Brockway Ave. in Morgantown; All Things Possible (Food for Preston) House in Bruceton Mills, W.Va., and Arthurdale Heritage Inc. at Q & A

House GOP abruptly drops plans to debate abortion

Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP

Anti-abortion rights activists are connected with a red piece of cloth as they stage a ‘die-in’ in front of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015. Tomorrow marks the 42nd anniversary of the landmark 1973 Roe vs Wade decision and the March for Life, an annual gathering of abortion protest that dates back to 1974.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an embarrassing setback, House Republicans abruptly decided Wednesday to drop planned debate of a bill criminalizing virtually all late-term abortions after objections from GOP women and other lawmakers left them short of votes.

The decision came on the eve of the annual March for Life, when thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators stream to Washington to mark the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. It also came with GOP leaders eager to show unity and an ability by the new Republican-led Congress to govern efficiently.

Despite a White House

veto threat, Republican leaders had planned on Thursday House passage of the legislation, which would ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

But they ran into objections from women and other Republican lawmakers unhappy that the measure limited exemptions for victims of rape or incest to only those who had previously reported those incidents to authorities.

The rebellious lawmakers argued that that would put unfair pressure on women who often feel shame or fear retaliation if they report those assaults.

In a complication GOP leaders were not able to resolve, they then ran into

objections from anti-abortion groups and lawmakers when they discussed eliminating the reporting requirements.

House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, RTexas, said leaders made the decision after meeting “really, all day” with rankand-file lawmakers.

Congressional Democrats who solidly oppose the legislation, along with abortion rights advocates, all but mocked the GOP’s problem. Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said Republicans suffered “a meltdown.”

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said of the bill, “These attacks are so dangerous, extreme and

unpopular that House Republicans can’t even get their membership lined up behind them.”

Instead of the late-term abortion bill, the House will debate legislation Thursday banning taxpayer funding for abortion — a prohibition that is already largely in effect.

Though Republicans hadn’t ruled out dropping the bill, their turnabout came as a surprise.

Earlier in the evening, one leading GOP dissident said she would support the bill, suggesting that the revolt might be ebbing. In a posting on her Facebook page, Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., added, “I have and will continue to be a strong defender of the pro-

life community.”

Earlier Wednesday, Ellmers said she and other Republicans were objecting to the reporting requirement.

“The issue becomes, we’re questioning the woman’s word,” she said in an interview. “We have to be compassionate to women when they’re in a crisis situation.”

A 2013 Justice Department report calculated that just 35 percent of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to police.

There were also objections to the bill’s exemption for incest, which covered only minors who have already reported the incident.

“So the exception would

The MBA program was given $1,000 to boost the ranking of the program among other universities.

The program has climbed 32 spots in the past four years, and it currently stands at 92nd in the nation. However, job placement - which is how shortly after graduation a student is employed, one of the biggest factors in ranking - is one aspect where the WVU program struggles.

The money will help the program network and expand to potential employers by aiding in the funding of the career fair which will be held on Feb. 11.

The African Student Association was also awarded $1,500 to help pay for its event, Africa Night, which will be held 6p.m. February 21 in the Mountainlair.

Fishing

For newcomers, the Fly Fishing Club brings in professionals in the field and hosts clinics with organizations like the Federation of Fly Fishers who teach rookies the basics.

“People pick it up really fast. There’s a little bit of a learning curve to it, but once you get into it, you can take off,” Edwards said. “You never forget the first fish you catch on a fly rod. When people do it for the first time and they get their first fish, the excitement is awesome.”

Outreach is a huge aspect of the club’s purpose.

Last fall, the Fly Fishing Club brought students from Chestnut Mountain Ranch to a farm pond in Preston County and taught them the basics of fly fishing.

“It’s awesome to give them the opportunity to learn from someone like myself who has experience and loves teaching,” Edwards said.

While helping children learn how to cast a rod and

catch fish, the Outdoor Channel filmed and interviewed Edwards and other club members for an episode of “Fly Rod Chronicles with Curtis Fleming.”

Fleming, the show’s host and producer, is from Bridgeport, W.Va., and has played a significant role in sponsoring WVU’s Fly Fishing Club. The show will air in the next two weeks and will provide the club with large exposure in the fly fishing and outdoor sports world.

Edwards also serves as the WVU Ambassador for Costa Sunglasses, a brand of sunglasses made for fishing.

“To be able to be a part of something here that’s going to be lasting and is giving me so much is awesome,” Edwards said.

The only alternative is to not use the card, however, that would prevent him from using the savings the card provides. Also, it is debatable whether or not signing up for the card is enough informed consent to extract the personal information.

Another ambiguous example given by Rubin is that of Henrietta Lacks, born in 1920. Lacks was a black tobacco farmer from Roanoke, Va., who at the age of 31 – the year of her death – was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Two parts of her cervix were removed, a healthy part and cancerous part, without her permission, and given to Dr. George Otto Gey. Lacks soon passed away because of her cancer but the cells given to Gey were soon found to stay alive and grow.

Gey was able to isolate a specific cell and eventually started the HeLa cell line.

Named after the cell’s parent, Henrietta Lacks.

Although taken without Lacks’ permission, her cells were eventually used to cure polio. They were the first human cells to ever be cloned, and today there are over 11,000 patents involving HeLa cells.

The lecture ended with a question and answer session involving Rubin’s au-

Condoms will be priced at $0.25 in each dispenser, a convenient price for students that will have no significant profit margin for the University.

“This will be at no additional cost to students,” Ibekwe said. “This is something that I am going to make sure does not increase your student fees.”

This decision to pass this resolution is also conveniently timed, considering the changes in the WVU health care system.

“With the changes in student health - they’re now being operated by WVU Healthcare - they no longer give out condoms for free,” Ibekwe said. “Before 2013 they did.”

According to Senty, everyone from beginner to advanced riders are welcomed to join the team.

The first step in getting involved is making sure every member has a bike to use.

Resources are available through the club to ensure that those who do not have bikes can get them at an affordable cost.

Senty said being a part of the cycling team has helped her reduce stress levels commonly associated with being a college student.

“It definitely relieves stress. You get to see all of the country roads around here, which are beautiful,” Senty explained.

A potential loophole in the “Common Rules” is that of private funding. The protocols set forth by the Common Rules do not always pertain to privately funded experiments and therefore the potential ethical and legal principles of the experiment would need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, according to Rubin.

The most up-to-date policy in the ethical treatment of human test subjects is 45 CFR 46 – Title 45 Code of Federal Regulations Part 46. This Health and Human Services code was enacted in 2009 in order to “enhance protections for research subjects and reduce burden, delay and ambiguity for investigators,” per 45 CFR 46.

The divisiveness over the measure comes as Republicans, looking ahead to the 2016 presidential and congressional elections, hope to increase their support from women. In control of the entire Congress for the first time in eight years, Republicans also want to demonstrate they can focus on issues that matter to voters and not get bogged down in gridlock.

Rep. Trent Franks, RAriz., a chief sponsor of the bill, called it “a sincere effort” to protect women and “their unborn, pain-capable child from the atrocity of late-term abortion.”

He also said GOP leaders “want to try to create as much unity as we can.”

The White House has threatened to veto the legislation, calling it “an assault on a woman’s right to choose.”

A report this week by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office cited estimates by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that about 10,000 abortions in the U.S. are performed annually 20 weeks or later into pregnancies. The budget office estimated that if the bill became law, threefourths of those abortions would end up occurring before the 20th week.

The House approved a similar version of the bill in 2013, but the measure was never considered in the Senate, which was then controlled by Democrats.

Its fate remains uncertain in the Senate, where anti-abortion sentiment is less strong than in the House. dience. Questions asked ranged from the deceptive legality of online “terms and conditions” to the ethics of biometric testing.

“I thought it was very enlightening to see where a lot of our policies and regulations come from and how they’re based off of former experiments, studies and trials performed by the Nazis, here in the U.S. (and) everywhere,” said Matthew Lundquist, an engineering and mineral resources student. “Whenever (Rubin) was talking about the HeLa cells, even when they’re doing something good for surgery, they took some biological material from her.

It did make advancements and helped, but at the same time is that ethically right to do to someone without giving consent? It’s interesting how policy comes into play. Yes, it’s beneficial to the whole, but at the same time it’s unfair or unethical to the individual.”

WVU is hosting privacy and technology seminars with distinguished guest speakers all semester. They will take place every Wednesday in G39 of the Engineering Sciences building.

UPALLNIGHT

Students to participate in Murder Mystery Show

By Caitlin Worrell A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

For many people, being a detective was only a childhood dream. Now, West Virginia University is hoping to give renewed life to that thrilling imagination.

With the help of WVUp All Night, students will get the chance to be a part of the crime at the program’s Murder Mystery Show. Up All Night is known for offering a variety of late-night entertainment for students, including famous comedians, mechanical bulls and

pre-released films. With a colorful new itinerary each week, Up All Night is committed to offering free entertainment to WVU. The Murder Mystery Show, which has been popular with students in years past, hopes to draw in crowds with an interactive theatrical performance. The event, sponsored by TjohnE Productions, asks audience members to become a part of the script and use their own investigative techniques to take down the culprit.

Step by step, spectators will search and find clues to slowly unravel

the sneaky crime plot, also playing into the group’s notoriously comedic storyline. The show will not feature the horror genre’s infamous creepy crawlies or bloody creations, but will instead offer a funnier take on the usual crime drama. With the help of professionally trained Broadway, television and film actors, guests will be transported into a suspension of disbelief, putting their true identities aside.

And what mystery would be complete without a few unexpected twists and turns?

Though spectators are not required to partici-

SCHMITT’S SALOON

pate in the murder mystery show, they are most definitely encouraged to join in on the production.

TjohnE suggests there is a role for everyone, with the flexibility to be as open or as passive as the guest pleases.

Guests will be constantly kept on their toes, wondering if they could soon be at the center of the story.

“They may be asked to be in night club numbers or to be dancers,” said Carol Nissenson, a coordinator with TjohnE Productions. “Someone may even be an emcee.”

Although Up All Night

is putting a lot of faith into the creativity of students, past experience has proved the Murder Mystery event is a campuswide hit.

“This is our third or fourth time coming to West Virginia,” Nissenson said. “We always hope that people laugh. We hope they’ll be paying good attention so they can solve the mystery and win a prize.”

The event will have a few exclusive prizes including giveaways from Dunkin’ Donuts, The WVU Book Exchange and Qdoba. Additionally, everyone who participates will receive a

free Naticakes coupon.

Students can also expect to see a few familiar faces in a sea of mystery.

President E. Gordon Gee and Ms. Mountaineer Liz Gulick are both expected to make a special appearance at the event.

The Murder Mystery Show will begin at 9 p.m.

Friday in the Mountainlair.

Students are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot before showtime. As always, Up All Night has no additional admission and can be easily accessed with the use of a valid student ID. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

#tbt: This day in pop culture

dailymail.co.uk

Nudity was much classier in the ‘80s: On Jan. 22, John Lennon and Yoko Ono graced the cover of Rolling Stone in what would be one of the most memorable photographic moments in pop culture history. The cover featured a nude Lennon wrapped around lover Ono, who was fully dressed.

“This is it,” Lennon told photographer Annie Leibovitz. “This is our relationship.”

The iconic, sentimental photo was captured hours before Lennon’s murder in 1980, giving the photo even more value, that resonates with Beatles fans and music admirers around the globe. This obituary issue of Rolling Stone ran in 1981.

Apple users can rejoice: Jan. 22 marks the anniversary that debuted the original Macintosh computer. Coined as a “highly sophisticated” computer, the Macintosh 128k was the first mass-market personal use computer that featured graphical user interface and a mouse. The commercial aired during Superbowl XVIII, where the Washington Redskins and Los Angeles Raiders faced off. Since their introduction in1984, Macintosh computers have transformed from unconventional boxes with screens to the sleek laptops and tablets we carry daily to class. Apple has certainly come a long way. Imagine hiking up the Life Science stairs with a Mac 128k weighing a hefty 16.5 pounds.

Jethro Tull, the famous British quartet, performed for the first time ever on U.S. soil January 22, 1969 at the Fillmore East. Made up of Mick Abrahams, Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and Clive Bunker, Jethro Tull was one of the most eclectic rock ‘n roll groups of its time, winning a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/ Metal Performance. With a bit of the blues and some jazz influences, Jethro Tull remained a U.S. chart-topper for years alongside the Beatles and others of classic rock’s most famous rock groups. Their performance at the Fillmore East in New York pole-vaulted the band into U.S. stardom in the late ‘60s.

Jared Blake comes to Morgantown

By Chelsea Walker A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

No stranger to the limelight, Arkansas native Jared Blake will tell you he was raised on watermelons and rock ‘n roll.

The father of six, one-time competitor of NBC’s “The Voice” and rising country music star will take the stage this Saturday at Schmitt’s Saloon.

“The second I think I know what’s going on, it all turns upside down again,” Blake said of his constantly churning, busy lifestyle on his online biography.

The inevitable toss up is what keeps the artist going between raising a family, writing, working and staying true to his ways.

In a small Arkansas town, Blake always dreamed of performing on stage with thousands of fawning fans.

Growing up, the southern troubadour spent his spare time understanding everything he could about the music industry, from the logistics of the business to songwriting and learning to play multiple instruments.

In 2011, Blake’s perseverance paid off when he landed a spot on NBC’s No. 1 show, “The Voice.”

With Blake Shelton as a vocal guide, Blake rocked

on stage week after week equipped with only his acoustic guitar. His most popular cover hits while on the show included the Dixie Chicks “Not Ready To Make Nice” and “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon.

Blake’s stint on “The Voice” paved the way for his future career boosting him into the industry and garnering him an impressive group of new fans. Nearing the end of his time on “The Voice,” Blake took to the road on a national acoustic tour promoting his single, “Don’t Mind.”

Going from a small town dreamer to an onthe-road singer and songwriter, Blake’s time touring and promoting finally paid off when he signed a record deal with Skiddco Music, owned and operated by Grammy awardwinning producer Skidd Mills. Mills and Blake took to recording the tracks that would eventually be released on his debut album.

“There’s no one playing the ‘poor me’ card for all the hard work we do,” Blake said. “We know everyone out there is working hard, and some guys are even fighting and dying so we can keep doing what we do, so for that

alone, there’s no complaining. I couldn’t do any other job on the planet, so I owe my life to the music fans of the world.”

While juggling features in some of pop culture’s most popular magazines such as Rolling Stone and People, Blake recently released his first EP, “’Til The Morning Light” in September 2014. The brief, six-track record packs a heavy punch with deep, ragged lyrics and traditional country undertones that combine a gruff guitar with clamoring drums.

“Stomp,” Blake’s single that can be heard on SiriusXM’s “The Highway,” is a compromise of acoustic guitar twang and rapid rap-esque lyrics that highlight the artist’s multi-faceted talents. With the release of his debut album, the country music star’s talent has paired him with some of the most esteemed musicians in the industry, from Lee Brice and Randy Houser, to Thompson Square and The Band Perry.

T h e c o u nt r y s t a r will take the stage at 8:30 p.m. Saturday at Schmitt’s Saloon. For more information, go to http://schmittssaloon. com/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia University announced the beginning of its “It’s on Us” campaign Wednesday. This campaign centers around making everyone responsible and aware of sexual violence not only on our campus, but every campus.

The announcement via WVUToday outlined the recent changes made to ensure everyone on campus is taking sexual and domestic violence seriously. These changes include all Title IX related inci-

dents and complaints will be handled through the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion before it goes to the student conduct board.

In addition to this new policy, members of the conduct board and University Police are being trained in how to handle sexual violence victims.

The Daily Athenaeum believes this a huge step forward for the University when it comes to the safety of its students.

It is the job of University officials to make students feel safe and protected on campus. This new campaign and the efforts being made are helping to explain to everyone on campus why it is not just the responsibility of women to be vigilant, but the job of every bystander to protect one another.

This campaign also builds on the work of the Green Dot program, which trains bystanders on how to safely intervene in violent situations.

This core principle, stating it is everyone’s responsibility to help prevent and stop violent acts against any member of the community, makes it clear University officials will not tolerate any type of violent behavior.

Now that the University has taken the initiative to make the campus safer, it is our job as students to help them carry out this plan. It is the job of every student to be vigilant in the face of sexual and physical violence on campus.

If you are at a party and see someone pressuring another partygoer, step in and help.

If your friends are harassing someone whether at a party or on the street, tell them to knock it off. This campaign is as simple as that. If we all make a move to help one another out, we can prevent violent sexual crimes from happening on our campus.

No matter the efforts made

by WVU, a campaign like this will never be effective if we, the students, aren’t on board

and don’t do our part. Sexual and domestic violence prevention is a problem to be solved, and we hold the key.

The next time you’re out and about, try to overcome the bystander effect, the voice inside saying someone else will help or someone else will take care of it. Instead be that somebody who helps.

“It’s on Us” calls on every member of the WVU community to be the hero. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

#Meninist Movement:

#opposingvoices

INSENSITIVE ATTACK or WELL-FOUNDED JOKE ?

imgkid.com

The meninist movement is a recent Internet trend centering around social media platforms.

Users of the hashtag and the accounts claim they want a change in double standards placed on men.

Similar to feminism, which advocates for equity and inclusion for all gen-

ders meninists claim to want equality for all.

The accounts and users involved have been critiqued for “making a joke” of the real movement of feminism. While many of the accounts claim to be parody accounts, several others seem to be serious in their

Diminishing progress made, insulting passionate activists emily torbett columnist @dailyathenaeum

Move over, feminists.

There’s a new cultural and political movement sweeping the Internet. It’s called meninism, and it’s here to finally put those crazed and radical feminists fighting for equal pay and opportunities in their place.

Defined by parody Twitter accounts, “#meninism” hoodies and sexist jokes, Internet meninism advocates for allout bashing of the feminist movement while promoting “men’s rights.”

If you don’t believe me, take one look at the most popular meninist Twitter account, @MeninistTweet.

The account shares ageold sexist jokes as well as more current ones, such as, “I hate when people say, ‘Women should stay in the kitchen’ …

How are they supposed to clean the rest of the house?” and, “Ladies, if you have more followers on Instagram than you do on Twitter, it just means dudes like you better when you shut up.”

While the account defines itself as “parody,” it has more followers than any other meninist related account and is the first result in a Google

search for the term.

To equate the Internet meninist movement with the feminist movement would be to make a mockery of all feminism has accomplished.

Feminist activists have faced violence and discrimination to change the world. From bringing women out of the home – if they so chose - and into positions of power, to earning women the right to vote, feminism has created opportunities for women throughout history. By calling out gender discrimina-

perbole than fact.

My main argument against meninism isn’t men don’t experience their own issues. Certainly, men can experience oppression and violence just as women can. Men are more likely to commit suicide, die in the workplace and even be denied custody of their children when compared to women. We do just as much a disservice to boys when we tell them to “be tough” as we do to girls when we tell them to “be quiet.”

Rather than addressing s er ious issues, Internet meninists complain incessantly about expectations of holding doors open for women or paying for dates.

They bash women as being characteristically unfaithful, indecisive, emotional and stupid.

They (however jokingly) advocate sexual and domestic violence.

Perhaps I would pay attention to a legitimate movement which aims to address specific and legitimate concerns, rather than one which degrades women and demands my inferiority to men.

In other words, if men are in need of a movement to address issues unique to their gender alone, Internet “meninism” isn’t it.

More recently, there has been a lot of backlash for the creating of T-shirts and sweatshirts with the word “meninist” written across the front. This merchandise has offended many for similar reasons as the entire ideal itself. ​

Wal-Mart settles wrongful death claim NEW YORK (AP) — The family of a comedian killed in the New Jersey Turnpike crash that seriously injured Tracy Morgan last summer has settled a wrongful death claim with Wal-Mart.

The out-of-court settlement between Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and the estate of James McNair is the first stemming from the June 7 crash in which a Wal-Mart truck slammed into a limo van carrying Morgan and others home from a show in Delaware.

Morgan, the former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” star, suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident, according to his lawyer. Criminal charges against truck driver Kevin Roper are pending in state court in New Jersey.

McNair, 62, of Peekskill, grew up with Morgan in Brooklyn and was a friend and mentor to him over the years.

The terms of the settlement are confidential, but McNair family attorney Daryl Zaslow told The Associated Press that they were

pleased with the outcome.

Wal-Mart “caused extensive damage” to the family but accepted responsibility and “more than stepped up to the plate and took care of this family,” Zaslow said.

“Ultimately they did the right thing by the McNairs,” he said.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company was working toward settlements with others injured in the accident.

“We know there is nothing we can do to change what happened to Mr. McNair,” Buchanan said.

“We’re committed to doing what’s right.”

In an interview with the AP on Wednesday, McNair’s children - Denita, 19, and Jamel, 26 - described their father as a humble, grounded man. They said he attained a level of fame but cared less about the trappings of celebrity than about helping others, whether through advice to young comedians or giving out free Thanksgiving turkeys to needy families in his hometown.

“You don’t have to be a celebrity to make a difference in a lot of people’s lives,” Jamel McNair said.

“My dad made a huge difference in a lot of people’s lives.”

Denita McNair was about to graduate from high school at the time of her father’s death, and she said she hopes to go to college eventually after taking some time off. Jamel McNair is pursuing a singing career.

Both said they haven’t been contacted by Morgan or his representatives since the accident.

An attorney representing Morgan didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the settlement Wednesday. The lawyer, Benedict Morelli, said last month that Morgan hadn’t fully recovered from his brain injury and that it was uncertain if he would be “the Tracy Morgan he once was.”

Passengers Ardley Fuqua, of Jersey City, New Jersey, and Jeffrey Millea, of Shelton, Connecticut, also suffered serious injuries in the

Comedian James McNair was killed in the same accident that injured Tracy Morgan last summer.

June crash. A lawsuit filed against Wal-Mart by Morgan, Fuqua and Millea is proceeding in federal court.

Under terms of the settlement, Wal-Mart admitted no liability in the crash, Zaslow said, adding that the settlement was reached before the formal filing of a

lawsuit.

Roper, the driver, has been charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. According to the criminal complaint, Roper was operating the truck without having slept for more than 24 hours.

A preliminary investiga-

usmagazine.com

tion by the National Transportation Safety Board estimated that Roper was driving 65 mph in the 60 seconds before he slammed into the limo van. The speed limit on that stretch of the turnpike is 55 mph and was lowered to 45 mph that night because of construction.

Duplass bros’ new comedy ‘Togetherness’ hits HBO

Mark Duplass co-stars in the new comedy with his brother Jay.

optigrab.org

NEW YORK (AP) — Steps have been taken to avoid any mix-up distinguishing the voices - Mark’s from Jay’s - when the tape is transcribed. But the Duplass brothers assure their interviewer that, whether they’re discussing their films or anything else, they don’t care which name is attached to a quote.

“We share the same brain,” Mark explains.

At any rate, they enjoy free access to each other’s brain: “We are both obsessed with the human condition,” says Jay, “and we’re constantly in conversation about it.”

The conversation continues as they join a reporter at HBO to publicize their first TV series, “Togetherness,” whose third of eight episodes runs Sunday at 9:30 p.m. EST. “Togetherness” is well worth catching up with.

Funny, painful and (for a certain demo) all too relatable, it exudes the singular voice of this hydra-headed duo whose many hats include writing, producing, directing and, in Mark’s case, headlining.

He plays Brett, a sound engineer and family man who has hit a wall in both his career and marriage. His wife, Michelle (played by Melanie Lynskey), feels imprisoned as a stay-at-home mom. Adding to the ferment is her sister Tina (Amanda

Peet), a wayward hottie who lands in their Los Angeles home after splitting from Houston. Rounding out this domestic quartet is Mark’s best friend, Alex (Steve Zissis), an out-of-work actor seeking refuge on the couple’s couch.

“The more messed up we made them, the more it gave us to love, and root for, in them,” says Mark.

“They are trying very hard to be good people, spouses and parents, and to support each other - but then they feel like, `I need to get the (heck) out of here! I need some space!’ That’s how Jay and I sometimes perceive our lives.”

The Duplass brothers grew up in New Orleans and, from childhood, made films.

Early on, they were bewitched by John Cassavetes and his brooding cinema-verite style, says Mark, “but we also loved `Dumb and Dumber.’ We see the seriousness and gravity in things. But we also giggle.

That combination of the sad and the funny is what we do.”

After struggling through their 20s, they scored in 2005 with “The Puffy Chair,” which they jointly wrote, directed and produced, with Mark as its protagonist. It was followed by such films as “Cyrus,” starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei, and “Jeff Who Lives

at Home,” starring Jason Segel and Ed Helms.

Then this fraternal order (Mark now is 38, Jay is 41) took on middle-age angst.

“By then, each of us was married with two small kids,” says Jay, “and everyone was like, `You have it all: a beautiful family, a career, a wonderful house.’ But in our minds was, `I’m sleepdeprived. I don’t have two seconds to myself. My life is dominated by a tiny little being that wakes up every two hours.’”

“All we wanted,” Mark says, “was to be sleeping on someone’s couch, then wake up and binge on Netflix.”

Not the sort of thing you could say to most people.

Certainly not to Steve Zissis, their close friend since high school whose youthful promise thus far had gone unrealized, both romantically and professionally.

“He was dreaming about how beautiful our lives were,” says Jay with a laugh, “but we were thinking: He can sit down and eat a sandwich without being interrupted 15 times in a row.”

“Togetherness” began to take form with Zissis a key element - “It’s been part of our life’s mission to show the world how amazing he is,” Jay explains.

An essential part of the Duplass ethos, brotherly love, would exist in the friendship between Brett

and Alex. Alex and Tina would be bonded by fear of life passing them by as each approached the big 4-0, while Brett and Michelle bore the crush of being overcommitted adults.

“We were looking at both sides of the same coin,” says Jay. “It seemed to form a critical mass of desperation - and so much comedy!”

Production took a year, complicated by other producing ventures, as well as Mark’s role in the longrunning FX comedy “The League,” and an on-camera debut for Jay: He plays one of the agitated progeny of transgender dad Jeffrey Tambor in the Amazon comedy “Transparent,” which premiered this fall to critical acclaim and recently landed two Golden Globes.

Their pace hasn’t slowed.

But amid the rash of future projects, they aim to shoot more “Togetherness” in the spring, when they’ll resolve the cliff-hanger that concludes this season.

“We thought we knew what would happen,” Jay declares. “But when we started talking about Season 2, it started changing.”

“We know ALL of Season 2 now,” says Mark.

“We talk about Season 3 sometimes,” Jay says.

“That’s not smart, `cause we’re not picked up yet,” Mark says. “But we can’t stop ourselves.”

Rainn Wilson scores new role as smart and cranky detective NEW YORK (AP) — Rainn Wilson knows he’ll be remembered as Dwight Schrute, the odd, overly confident character lacking social graces that he played on NBC’s “The Office” for nine seasons.

“I have no problem being known as Dwight until the day that I die. I’m so blessed and lucky,” the 49-yearold actor said in a recent interview.

He’s hoping that his newest role will also make an impression and put him in a category with Ed O’Neill and Bryan Cranston as “great TV actors who’ve done very different roles” and still find their audience.

Wilson stars in Fox’s “Back-

strom,” premiering Thursday at 9 p.m. EST. He plays Everett Backstrom, a cantankerous detective living in Portland, Oregon, who is as good at his job as he is offensive. As the series progresses, viewers see that Backstrom has as much contempt for himself as he does for the world around him. His emotions are all over the place, and Wilson loves that complexity.

“There can be scenes with him crying, scenes with him acting ridiculous and everything in between,” he said.

“For an actor you just love that.”

The show is based on a Swedish book series that was also adapted for TV. Cast

members include Dennis Haysbert, Kristoffer Polaha and Thomas Dekker.

Associated Press: Is starring in a show like this more work than “The Office”?

Wilson: Oh, dude, you have no idea. It is so much more work. `The Office’ we shot somewhere between 10 and 12 hours a day and I was there for most of that time but not all of it necessarily. In that (time) Steve Carell had all the heavy lifting. ... Dwight would just throw in some kind of funny line. When you are, as they say, number one on the call sheet and you’re the lead, not only do you have the most lines, not only are you in the most scenes, but the amount

of energy it takes is greater because you’re driving those scenes. Your intentionality is the motor of the scenes so there’s no sitting back on your heels and throwing in a couple funny lines here and there.

AP: Is it accurate to call “Backstrom” a procedural?

Wilson: It’s definitely a

procedural in that we solve a crime every week but not in the way say `CSI’ is, where the characters all kind of speak the same. There really is personality in `Backstrom’ where every character has a different voice.

AP: You’re also an executive producer of “Backstrom.”

Why did you take that on?

Wilson: That was kind of a deal breaker for me. I want to be a part of the decision-making process. I want to be in the rooms when they’re talking about where the show’s going and the issues they’re having.

I needed to be more deeply involved.

Move from Big East proving to be successful It’s been three years since West Virginia made the jump from the Big East to the Big 12, and there are still rumblings from fans debating whether or not moving to the Big 12 was best for the University.

One thing that’s for certain is the move from the Big East to the Big 12 in terms of football was a no-brainer, and football aside, the Big East has dwindled in all sports, at least when you compare it to what the conference used to be.

West Virginia is playing in one of the Power 5 conferences, and there will continue to be benefits for student athletes because of this. But, while the move made sense when it came to football, many thought it wouldn’t benefit WVU’s basketball program.

I can’t argue with anyone who says, “There was nothing like Big East basketball,” and if you’re one of those people who find yourself saying that, you’re right. Classic Big East basketball was the focal point of college basketball for years.

In football, West Virginia is now competing with some of the best teams in the country.

The likes of Baylor, Oklahoma, TCU and Kansas State have all made waves in the Big 12 and will continue to do so.

So yes, at its prime, Big East basketball was must-watch material, but times have changed.

The Big East currently has two teams in the Top 25 – No. 4 Villanova and No. 24 Seton Hall.

This season has been unlike any other for Big 12 basketball. Every game seems like it comes down to the wire, no matter if both teams are ranked or unranked. The competition is top-notch across the board with six teams in the Top 25.

“It’s the hardest league I’ve ever been in,” West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said during a Big 12 teleconference call Monday. “I think it’s because you’ve got 10 teams and you got 10 really quality coaches and 10 teams that are obviously very good.”

Let that resonate for a second. Huggins, a coach with 700-plus wins, a man who coached in the good ole’ Big East days, claims this conference is tougher.

“In most leagues, you got an upper level and a lower level,” Huggins said. “That’s not the case in this league. This league is so good from top to bottom and so well-coached from top to bottom.”

It should also be noted West Virginia is right in the thick of this hardy conference. They have the ability to compete with each of the other nine teams in the Big 12.

In football, the move to the Big 12 was good and the football team will eventually be above subpar. But now, the move to the Big 12 is good for hoops, as well.

So if you still want to argue about the Big 12 not being a “basketball conference,” you’re out of luck. At least for this year, this conference is the real deal. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

CAREY’S LOVIN’ IT

Sophomore guard Bre McDonald pulls up for a jumper during WVU’s win against Kansas State.

ANDREW SPELLMAN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Mountaineers beat Kansas State 63-51, register second conference win by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In a clash of the titans, there can only be one winner. And when the Big 12’s two most dominant shotblockers went toe-totoe Wednesday night, it was West Virginia’s Lanay Montgomery who came out on top.

Montgomery had blocked at least four shots in four straight games, but when faced with Kansas State’s 6-foot-5 anchor, Breanna Lewis, she stepped her game up another notch.

Montgomery asserted her will on Wednesday night’s game, grabbing 12 rebounds and racking up a career-high nine blocks – the most by a WVU player since 1985. Coupled with a

second-half offensive surge from junior guard Jessica Morton, it was enough to carry the Mountaineers to victory over the Kansas State Wildcats, 63-51.

“Thank God we started hitting some shots,” head coach Mike Carey said after the game. “To me that was the difference in the second half. I thought Lanay Montgomery, 12 rebounds and nine blocks, I told them to go back because I thought she had more than nine. I just thought she was a force inside.

From the beginning, it was Montgomery’s defense that set the tone. Although West Virginia shot just 32 percent from the field and top scorer Bria Holmes missed all six of her shot attempts in the opening frame, the Mountaineers

went into the half down only by three.

Led by hot-shooting guard Kindred Wesemann’s 13 points, Kansas State did damage from beyond the arc, but Montgomery was able to almost singlehandedly take away the rim. Her five blocks in the first half, along with eight points from Morton, were what kept West Virginia in the game.

The Mountaineers came out of the half with a renewed energy, immediately jumping out in front with an 11-0 run. It took Kansas State over five minutes to score their first point. Before they could figure themselves out offensively, Morton found a rhythm and West Virginia pulled away.

“Coach Carey just kept

saying that once you get a run, this team is ready to get blown out,” sophomore forward Bre McDonald said. “So we just had to stay on them, build the lead and once we got the momentum, the game was pretty much ours.”

Morton, a junior college transfer in just her third game with the Mountaineers, finished with a careerhigh 22 points, hitting four of six from 3-point range.

McDonald scored 11 points in her second career start, and West Virginia has gone 2-0 since Carey inserted her into the starting lineup.

Breanna Lewis came into the game as Kansas State’s leading scorer, as well as the second-most prolific shotblocker in the Big 12, but the sophomore forward got in early foul trouble and

finished with just six points and two blocked shots. Wesemann led the Wildcats with 19 points.

With eight minutes left, however, the Mountaineers were dealt a huge blow, as senior point guard Linda Stepney was forced to leave the game after taking an elbow to the face. Stepney has started every game for West Virginia this season, and Morton looks most likely to take over her spot if she has to miss any time.

With the win, the Mountaineers move to 12-6 on the season and 2-4 in conference play. Having at last captured some momentum, West Virginia will try to keep the run going Saturday in a road matchup with the 9-9 Kansas Jayhawks. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 18 WVU has underutilized bench players by david schlake sports editor @dschlake_WVU

As No. 18 West Virginia has surprised the country with an impeccable defense, many wonder if the team has enough surrounding its “Press Virginia” defense to consistently win. After a blowout loss to Texas, it’s hard not to second guess what the Mountaineers have done to this point.

Perhaps what West Virginia needs, to bounce back from such a disappointing loss and recover, is a change of personnel.

Head coach Bob Huggins has made it a common theme to switch around his starting lineup, but lately we’ve become familiar with the names introduced over the loudspeakers each game.

Juwan Staten, Gary Browne, Daxter Miles Jr., Jonathan Holton and Devin Williams have been the starting five since Jan. 3, when Staten didn’t play due to illness.

Huggins has managed to give the first five off the bench fairly equal playing time, but perhaps that isn’t enough.

One of WVU’s bench players, Jaysean Paige, averages only about 14.2 minutes per game but has shot .452 from the field and a team best .447 from behind the arc. The next best shooter from behind the arc sits at .378.

But somehow Paige remains on the bench at tip-off.

Likewise, the best shooter from the field overall, Tarik Phillip, stays on the bench for the majority of the game. The sophomore guard from Brooklyn, N.Y., is averaging only 13.2 minutes per

game, regardless of the fact that he has shot .511 from the floor.

Freshman guard Jevon Carter also hasn’t found a spot in the starting rotation, despite leading the team from behind the free throw line, shooting .792.

Additionally, he leads the team in steals with 39, even though he only averages about 21.9 minutes per game.

Each player in the starting rotation has a valid argument in deserving his spot, but each argument could be countered.

Aside from Saturday’s loss to Texas, in which the Mountaineers looked inadequate on every side of the ball, their Achildoyle maurer/the daily athenaeum les’ heel all year long has Junior guard Jaysean Paige goes up for a layup during West Virginia’s win against Oklahoma last week. been their lack in shooting efficiency.

If given the opportunity, maybe Paige, Phillip or Carter could slide into a starting role in place of Miles, or maybe Browne would find his rhythm again as Huggins’ sixth man.

There is no doubt we’ve seen Browne’s productivity decrease since Huggins threw him into the starting five, as well as his decision making and his awareness on the court. Miles has been inconsistent all season long, with both ups and downs. Staten, West Virginia’s star player or not, has definitely lost his touch these last couple of games.

With so much talent on the bench, how short of a leash are the five starting Mountaineers on?

We’ll see Saturday when the Mountaineers take on TCU. A small change could be what’s necessary to avoid falling into a slump as a team and dropping WVU STUDENTS ADMITTED FREE WITH VALID I.D. consecutive games.

Senior guard Juwan Staten going in for a layup in a game against Oklahoma last week.

by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Conference play is a grind. You’ll hear coaches from every league in America, Power 5 or otherwise, repeating that phrase time and time again in their weekly press conferences over the course of the rest of this season.

In some leagues, it’s just talk. Other than the familiarity that comes from playing a team once or twice every year, the “grind” resembles more of a pillow fight than a bareknuckle brawl.

In one league, just classifying it as a grind may be an understatement. That league is the Big 12. To this point in the season, and the smart money would be on this trend continuing, this conference has the most depth from top to bottom than any other in the country, and out-

side the traditional powerhouse that is the ACC, it’s not even close.

The talent isn’t just on the floor in this league, either. The coaches in this conference have championship pedigree and are among the best and most respected basketball minds in the sport today.

One of those championship-caliber leading men is Kansas head coach Bill Self. In his time at Kansas, Self has witnessed the league reach new heights, but said there is something different about this season.

“What is a little bit surprising, I think, is for any league across America to have this many good teams. It has been good in the past, but it’s better now because of the depth of the league,” Self said.

That kind of depth is why the Big 12 is the No. 1 RPI conference in the country right now, and

andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

it’s also why Self said life within the league is a constant challenge.

A typical week could feature two or three matchups with top-25 teams, and the Jayhawks are navigating a gauntlet like this right now.

“We play a really good team in Ames and get beat, and in less than 48 hours, you’re playing a team that could win the league in Oklahoma on your home floor. Then you’re going to another good team in Austin right after that, and this is just over a week period,” Self said.

In most of the leagues across America, there are a few teams at the bottom of the barrel that the top dogs feast on. For a team like Kentucky in the SEC, taking on the bottom half of their league seems more like a glorified practice than anything else.

Games like that don’t exist in the Big 12. Just ask another one of its coaches

who has been around the block in some of the best conferences in the country.

“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been in. You’ve got 10 really quality coaches and 10 teams who are obviously very good. In most leagues, you have an upper level and a lower level, and say we hope we can get these guys down here,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins.

You never know what will happen from night to night in this conference, but one thing is for sure: When the dust settles, the league champion will have earned its crown.

“It does take a toll. It could wear you out …

There’s no catching your breath. Every week is a key week,” Self said. “Four or five losses would be an incredible record for the team that wins, I believe.”

ap

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) With Kentucky’s slim lead threatened by a Vanderbilt squad that wouldn’t go away, Aaron Harrison coolly stepped up to drain the clutch 3-pointer that has become a familiar sight for the top-ranked Wildcats.

Twin brother Andrew Harrison provided a little more cushion with a layup a minute later before Aaron sealed Tuesday night’s hard-fought 65-57 victory with two free throws that kept the Wildcats perfect on a night that featured plenty of blemishes.

All of those flaws were forgotten thanks to the Harrisons’ 11 combined points down the stretch, with nine coming from Aaron.

“He’s as good as any player in the country the way he played in the second half,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said of his sophomore guard, whom he hugged tight after the tense contest.

Aaron Harrison, whose

clutch 3s earned Kentucky three straight NCAA tournament wins last spring, finished with 14 points, all in the second half. Andrew Harrison added five points as Kentucky (180, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) survived its third tight game in five league contests.

“I just wanted to do everything I could to help the team win,” said Aaron Harrison, who made 4 of 7 from the field including two 3s. “I knew I had to get my energy together and I did in the second half, which helped me play better.”

Kentucky needed that resolve to put away Vanderbilt (11-7, 1-4).

The Wildcats didn’t lead by double digits until early in the second half, and that 45-33 advantage lasted briefly as the Commodores began answering from the perimeter to stay within reach.

Five combined 3-pointers by Riley LaChance (16 points) and Matthew

Fisher-Davis (13) helped Vanderbilt pull within 5854 with 2:36 left. The Commodores never got closer as the Harrisons closed it out for the Wildcats.

Damian Jones had 11 points and seven rebounds for Vanderbilt, which shot 42 percent in losing its fourth straight and third in a row by a close margin. Fisher-Davis missed a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left and Wade Baldwin IV missed another jumper seconds later that Kentucky’s Willie CauleyStein rebounded to seal the game.

“I thought we did some good things,” Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said.

“We just didn’t do quite enough. There’s really no consolation in doing some good things and can’t do enough to win. I thought we rebounded for the most part fairly effectively.”

Dakari Johnson added 10 points for the Wildcats, who shot 44 percent. Cauley-Stein had 10 of Kentucky’s 33 rebounds

while Karl-Anthony Towns blocked seven shots.

Kentucky definitely needed every contribution in game that included 11 missed free throws on 32 attempts.

Though the Wildcats led throughout, they were obviously less dominant than in back-to-back routs of Missouri and Alabama. Vanderbilt kept that from happening thanks to a steely resolve and 7-of18 shooting from 3-point range.

Stallings made sure to keep his young players’ spirits up despite the slump, mainly to keep the Wildcats from seizing on an opportunity and rolling to another rout. That was a tall task, considering the Commodores were 22-point underdogs, but they had chances.

“I don’t think we were scared to come in here and play,” LaChance said of playing in Rupp Arena.

“We came in here fired up and that’s just how we have to go into every game.”

Thunder finally pass .500 mark MIAMI (AP) - Just about every statistic was what the Miami Heat would have wanted.

They kept Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook off the foul line for the most part, watched Oklahoma City’s two stars combine to miss every 3-pointer they tried, limited both to under 20 points and held the Thunder far below their typical scoring output of late.

And even that wasn’t enough.

Durant and Westbrook both scored 19 points and the Thunder beat the Heat 94-86 on Tuesday night - the win putting Oklahoma City over the .500 mark for the first time this season.

“We did a great job of

keeping our composure, just playing through the defense,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said.

The stats that doomed the Heat: A 21-11 difference in turnovers, a 22-9 disparity in points off turnovers, and the Thunder getting up 92 shots to Miami’s 68.

“To leave a real competitive defensive game like that on the table is pretty disappointing,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Westbrook grabbed 10 rebounds, Durant added eight rebounds and eight assists, Reggie Jackson scored 16 points and Anthony Morrow added 12 for Oklahoma City - who were nine games under .500 in late November, when Du-

rant was still sidelined with a broken foot.

The Thunder are 13-5 with Durant in the lineup, and now winners of 18 of their last 26 - but Durant said getting over the .500 mark meant “nothing.”

“We have to keep pushing,” Durant said. “We’re not worried about it. We didn’t come in here and rejoice because we’re over .500.”

Dwyane Wade scored 18 points and Chris Bosh added 16 for Miami, which fell to 7-13 at home.

Durant was 0 for 8 from 3-point range - matching the second-worst showing of his career - and the Thunder got to the foul line only 10 times, less than half their

team average coming into the night.

It didn’t matter, especially after Miami shot only 42 percent in the final three quarters. Miami had three shots to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter, all of them missing and the Thunder would eventually pull away.

“We weren’t loose with the ball, but we weren’t taking care of the ball,” Bosh said.

The game was the exact midpoint of the regular season for both teams. Oklahoma City went 21-20 in its first 41 games, Miami went 18-23.

“Trying,” Wade said, when asked to describe the season’s first half.

West Virginia returns several players with big potential

Safety Dravon Henry runs an interception back for a touchdown during WVU’s win against Oklahoma State on Oct. 25, 2014.

As the West Virginia football team continues to ease into the offseason, here’s a list of four potential candidates to produce breakout seasons in 2015 for the Mountaineers.

Wendell Smallwood: Running back/Receiver | Junior Smallwood was a running back first and receiver second in 2014, but the versatile back might see his role switch to the latter in 2015.

Despite rushing for 734 yards – just 89 yards less than leading rusher Rushel Shell – Smallwood proved to be an effective slot receiver. Shell established himself as the Mountaineers’ No. 1 back last season, and Smallwood and the team might benefit more in a permanent move to receiver. Oregon made a similar switch in 2014, moving former running back and leading rusher Byron Marshall to slot receiver. Marshall caught 74 passes for 1,003 yards, including a 70yard touchdown reception

in the third quarter of the title game against Ohio State.

Skyler Howard: Quarterback | Junior After passing for over 800 yards and eight touchdowns versus zero interceptions in 2014, Howard figures to be the early leading candidate to replace former quarterback Clint Trickett under center in 2015. Howard demonstrated his innate ability to escape pressure and extend plays – something Trickett was often unable to do. With Howard in the backfield, defenses are almost forced to have to ac-

count for him. Pair those two attributes with valuable game experience and Howard could be poised for a big 2015 season, pending a push from freshman William Crest Jr. Dravon Henry: Safety | Sophomore Henry exceeded expectations in his debut season with the Mountaineers, recording 52 tackles and two interceptions, and returning one for a score. The former four-star prospect from nearby Aliquippa, Pa., started every game for West Virginia at safety in 2014 –

an often difficult and overwhelming task for any true freshman. Henry likely won’t rack up an eye-popping amount of tackles with the way he plays deep safety in the Mountaineers’ 3-3-5 odd stack scheme, but look for his production on the backend to increase in 2015 after a season of valuable experience.

Jared Barber: Linebacker | Senior After tearing his ACL on the final defensive play of West Virginia’s 47-40 overtime loss to Texas in 2013, Barber sat out the entire

2014 season with a medical redshirt. The Mocksville, N.C., native recorded a career-high 14 tackles against the Longhorns before his season-ending injury, and his 71 tackles in 2013 were good enough for third on the team. With an expected return in 2015, Barber could be an ideal candidate to replace former linebacker Wes Tonkery, who capped off a strong senior season with 69 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss after an injury-riddled career. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
