Awarding grants to growing org by corey mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Concerns were raised regarding how the Student Government Association monitors and makes use of its funds at the SGA meeting last night.

Several grants were passed at the weekly stu-

dent government meeting, however one grant incited debate over how SGA should reward growing student organizations with annual trips and conferences who have had grants awarded to them in the past.

The Sport and Exercise Psychology Undergraduate Club was awarded a grant

for $843 to attend a conference in Indiana where students could get the chance to meet and network with professionals in their intended field. This conference is unique for West Virginia University because the club will be one of the only undergraduate organizations attending amongst graduate and

Ph.D. students in the field.

After an original amount of $726 was presented from Governor Joy Wang, she did on-the-spot calculations and suggested the increase of members attending the trip -13 percent from last year should be an incentive for more money toward the organization.

“Perhaps we could set a precedent based off of percentages,” Wang said.

“Each week when organizations speak for themselves, we learn more info that wasn’t evident in the grant application reports. For example, we didn’t have basis on how

Panelists: The world can learn from Africa by lauren caccamo staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Last night, members from the West Virginia University African Students Association continued their week-long Africa Week program with a panel discussion entitled “Africa: The Growth Continent for the 21st Century.”

The student panelists, hailing from a variety of countries across the continent, heatedly discussed the potential role Africa could play on the world stage and whether the negative image Westerners receive from the media is accurate.

Teboho Mabuka, president of the WVU African Students Association, said she feels the typical portrayal of Africa by the media is keeping others from the great learning opportunities the continent has to offer.

“There’s so much that the world can learn from African culture,” Mabuka said. “There are students here who are studying engineering, the arts, politics—for them, they need to see that Africa is not a burden or a continent waiting for aid and trade. We want them to understand that Africa is a land of opportunity because they are the ones (who) will be making the decisions in the future and it would be awesome for them to have a better perspective.”

Other panelists were not so optimistic.

“I think when looking at terms like GDP and things like that, get away from the question of human development. There are these wars that have persisted for so long, so I’m a little bit cautious to look at this optimistically,” said Kombe Kapatamoyo, a political science student from Zambia.

Health screenings for those Forensics students benefit from mock at risk of heart disease crime scene, first-hand experience by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

In honor of Heart Awareness Month, the West Virginia Heart Institute will be hosting a “Women Love Your Heart” event. The event consists of free health screenings of blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol analysis.

The West Virginia University Human Performance Laboratory, which specializes in disease prevention, management and rehabilitation, provides resources for locals who have a history or risk of developing a heart disease. These resources include weight and stress management, individualized nutrition guidelines and physical activity recommendations.

“Every single (health service) is an individualized prescription,” said Diana Gilleland, the manager of the Performance Laboratory.

The laboratory con-

tains an adult fitness center which provides exercise equipment and sessions intended to increase flexibility, resistance and cardiovascular strength. Each member enrolled in the program receives an exercise program designed by a qualified exercise physiologist who oversees the exercise sessions.

“They have the extra attention, the monitoring of their vital signs while they are here,” Gilleland said.

According to Gilleland, family history and environmental factors can increase one’s risk of developing heart disease. These risk factors include weight, diabetes, cholesterol, stress and high blood pressure.

However, Gilleland said having a genetic disposition or family history of heart disease does not hinder one from having a high quality of life.

“Even if you have the genetic disposition or family

It was a frigid night on the grassy field between the West Virginia University Life Sciences and Business and Economics buildings when Professor Keith Morris’ senior Bloodstain Pattern Analysis students made their way to a mock crime scene.

With the first group arriving around 2:20 a.m. and the second shortly after, it was the students’ first experience outside the normal crime scene complex, located on the Evansdale campus. This fake crime scene tested their abilities of scene security, evidence collection, documentation and packaging.

MountaineerThon charity right around the corner by courtney gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s dance marathon fundraiser, the annual MountaineerThon, is right around the corner. On Feb. 28, from noon - midnight at the Erickson Alumni Center, students will gather to dance and raise money for a cause that is close to countless people’s hearts in Morgantown: The WVU Children’s Hospital.

Chelsea Arvin, the executive director of MountaineerThon, said she has big plans for this year’s event and that she is excited for the actual day to arrive.

“We have games, we learn to dance, we do prizes and raffles every hour. There will be food and we will have a few kids come that have been treated at the Children’s Hospital and their parents will tell their stories,” Arvin said.

Students from all over campus are welcome and are encouraged to sign up and join the fun.

“We are just trying to get all the student organizations or even anyone just on campus to get involved. They can sign up on their own team or they could sign up as an individual,” Arvin said. “We ask that they raise a minimum of $50.”

The theme for the evening will be “Being Kids for the Kids.” Students will dance to music genres starting in the early 1990s all the way into 2015.

“Every 28 minutes we will do a new year. So it’ll be like 1990s music for 28 minutes.

Later it’ll be ‘91 and so on and so forth,” Arvin explained.

“Everyone likes throwback music, so we think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

In addition to contributing to raising money for a huge cause, students will also receive many additional benefits from attending the event.

On top of having the opportunity to help such a big cause, students can receive up to 15 community service hours, win prizes, receive a free T-shirt and even make some memories that could last a lifetime.

Arvin is excited to make new memories this year. In years past, there has been one thing that sticks out in her mind - something she will always treasure.

“Every year, when the kids come, there is this tradition that we do. We have everyone line up in two lines on each side facing each other so we make almost like a tunnel,” Arvin said. “The kids will either ride on someone’s back or they’ll dance and just run down the center of the tunnel. They absolutely love it.

It’s their favorite part of coming, and it’s one of my favorite things that we’ve done.”

Many students have already signed up for the event and are looking forward to being able to support the cause.

“I’m looking forward to Dance Marathon this year because I wasn’t able to attend last year,” said Deanna Neiser, a junior public relations student.

Students can register until the day of the event and track the top fundraisers and the top teams.

SUV driver’s behavior under scrutiny in deadly train crash VALHALLA, N.Y. (AP) — Federal investigators looking into a fiery commuter train wreck that killed six people zeroed in Wednesday on what they called the big question on everyone’s mind: Why was the driver of an SUV stopped on the tracks, between the lowered crossing gates?

A team from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived to examine the blackened and mangled wreckage and the Metro-North train’s data recorders the morning after the rush-hour collision with the sport utility vehicle about 20 miles north of New York City.

The Tuesday evening crash was the deadliest accident in the 32-year history of one of the nation’s busiest commuter railroads — one that has come under a harsh spotlight over a series of accidents in recent years. The SUV driver and five men on the train were killed, burned so badly that authorities were using dental records to identify them.

“The big question everyone wants to know is: Why was this vehicle in the crossing?” said Robert Sumwalt, NTSB vice chairman.

The wreck happened after dark in backed-up traffic in an area where the tracks are straight but driving can be tricky. Motorists exiting or entering the adjacent Taconic Parkway have to turn and cross the tracks near a wooded area and a cemetery.

The driver — whom family friends identified as 49-yearold Ellen Brody, a jewelry store employee — had calmly gotten out of her Mercedes SUV momentarily after the crossing gates came down around her and hit her car, according to the motorist behind her, Rick Hope.

“She wasn’t in a hurry at all, but she had to have known that a train was coming,” Hope told the Journal News. He said he motioned to her to come back and gave her room to reverse. But instead, she got back in her

CRIME

Continued from page 1 of clues pertaining to the crime.

“I didn’t expect there to be media. I didn’t expect to be taking statements from an actual officer, so it’s more of a real-life experience,” said Jamie Spaulding, a senior forensic investigative science student.

The make-believe crime was a shooting that left no injuries, just a scared victim and witness played by two graduate students.

“Portraying the victim allows the crime scene investigators to have to ask thoughtful questions of the victims (to) see their role in the process, and it really gives them a life-like experience that they can take and use for jobs later in life,” said pretend victim Adam Epler, a forensic investigative science graduate student.

After the arrival of the first team member, investigators were allowed 20 minutes to interview the victim and witness. Questions ranged from what direction the shooter came from, where the victim or witness was walking from, how many shots were fired and what the suspect looked like, all practice questions for future endeavors.

“The most difficult part was probably the reconstruction, putting everything together and figuring out what happened since we

“It looks like she stopped where she stopped because she didn’t want to go on the tracks,” Hope he told WNYWTV. “It was dark, so maybe she didn’t know she was in front of the gate.”

Traffic was moving slowly at the time, choked with drivers seeking to avoid the Taconic Parkway because of an accident, he noted.

As of Wednesday evening, investigators had no evidence the crossing gates weren’t working properly, but their examination was just beginning, Sumwalt said.

Among other things, in-

vestigators also planned to examine the tracks, interview the crew and find out whether the SUV had a data recorder of its own.

Brody was a mother of three grown daughters and an active, outgoing member of her synagogue. And she was “not risky when it came to her safety or others,” said family friend Paul Feiner, the town supervisor in Greenburgh.

Railroad grade crossings typically have gate arms designed to lift automatically if they hit a car or other object on the way down, railroad safety consultant Grady Cothen said. The wooden arms

are designed to be easily broken if a car trapped between them moves forward or backward, he said.

Acknowledging that collisions between trains and cars rarely cause rider deaths, Sumwalt said the NTSB would also examine the adequacy of the train’s exits and the intensity of the fire, which investigators believe was sparked by the SUV’s gas tank.

Sen. Charles Schumer said early indications are that the train was going 58 mph, or within the 60-to-70-mph speed limit in that area. The NTSB said it wanted to confirm speed and other data ex-

tracted from the recorder before releasing it.

It was not the first deadly crash at the site: A MetroNorth train hit a truck, killing its driver, at the same Commerce Street crossing in 1984, according to Federal Railroad Administration records.

Rep. Patrick Maloney, DN.Y., said Tuesday’s accident underscores the need for positive train control, a technology that uses WiFi and GPS to monitor trains’ exact position and automatically applies the brakes to prevent collisions or lessen their severity. While not specifically designed to address gradecrossing accidents, the tech-

didn’t have a great description of the subject,” Spaulding said. ​ University PD was represented at the crime scene, as well. Patrolman first-class Andrew Mills played the role of first officer at the scene.

He was there to relay information he had originally gathered to the forensic investigators, so they could then process the crime scene.

If this had been a real crime scene, the call would not have gone out so soon.

Without knowing where the suspect is, it would not be safe for the crime scene investigators to examine the scene, according to Mills.

“I was really surprised that there were University Police there, and I was really curious to see what had happened (and) how it would all play out. I was kind of nervous,” said Ashley Cochran, a senior forensic investigative science student.

With a difficult first experience outside the normal setting, coupled with the freezing temperatures and 2 a.m. wake-up call, the forensic students’ investigation was quite a night.

However, the real-world experience they received will benefit them in the long run.

“I think it was a great experience. It definitely taught me a lot and prepared me more for the real world than any of our other crime scenes have,” Cochran said.

promptu, and roughly based on immediate calculations made by the board.

Because of this, criticism was brought up toward the end of the meeting by the Chief Financial Officer Spenser Wempe, concerning how SGA should determine grant amounts for annual events.

“I would suggest that if there is to be change in precedents - there is a system that we use for suggestions - that you come to the Bureau of Finance meetings and exchange that precedence there prior to these suggestions,” Wempe said.

“You can come to Bureau of Finance meetings.

We hold them every week.

You guys are always informed of them. No one comes,” Wempe said.

Wempe also added that there are no available records that determine membership increase within the Student Government Association or Bureau of Justice, which may be some-

thing that could be utilized for future grants.

“If this is a new precedent you guys want to set, that’s fine, but you need to go over the details there, not standing here in front of the student organizations,” Wempe said.

Other grants were passed for student clubs and international student organizations.

The Alpha Epsilon Delta fraternal organization, a pre-health honorary with goals to prepare its members for their intended field, received a grant of $900 for its membership induction ceremony.

The WVU Forensics Club also received a $720 grant to attend a conference in Florida to cover hotel costs.

Two cultural events were also awarded grants, specifically for the Iranian Student Organization and the Chinese Students and Scholars Association.

and plans to study exercise physiology to help others whom have had similar medical experiences. Olson said she believes the work being done at the lab is necessary in the Morgantown community.

“I think it’s important to get our message out there.

No one really thinks about your heart; everyone always thinks about the outside appearance,” Olson said. “Everything you do

affects your heart. People aren’t aware of it.”

Many students feel positive about the screening.

Sophomore Casey Billmyer gave his opinion on the services that will be provided at the event.

“I think it’s nice, especially for people who can’t afford it,” Billmyer said.

“It will be good for the community.”

The health screenings will take place 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

Feb. 7. Services will be provided at the WVU Heart Institute in Suncrest Towne Center. All health services are free and open to the public.

make a change.

“Right now there have been more start-up countries than there ever have been over the past 15 years.

So, when you look at the initiative taken by the younger generation you can really see the mindset that we can help fix these problems,” Asante said. “I don’t think Ghana is going to look like the U. S. next year, but I do have hope. Within the next 10 to 20 years I really think we’ll be competing with a lot of countries out there.”

Nigerian panelist SimonOgan said she also saw great potential in the next generation of Africans not only in business but in politics, as well.

“With an upcoming election in Nigeria, we see so much more participation from the younger people because they’re feeling like

they’re starting to have a part in what’s going to happen in the next few years.

It’s like they know something big is going to happen,” Simon-Ogan said.

So who should lead Africa to prosperity? What role must the younger generation of Africans play?

“We have to be able and willing to provide open routes to other people in order to create a positive shift,” Simon-Ogan said.

Audience members actively participated in the discussion, bringing their personal thoughts and opinions as to how Africa can be improved and what steps are necessary to take.

Topics such as education, employment opportunities and the importance of community were brought up frequently by students in attendance.

The dynamic conversation showed students’ passion in securing a brighter future for their beloved continent.

Michael Aniagboso, the African Students Association event coordinator, ended the event by calling those in the audience to use what is being presented to them in order to make a better situation for the people.

“Africa is yours and Africa is mine. It’s all our playing field,” Aniagboso said.

“We just need to make sure that we have a productive mentality, because unless we have that, there really is no way we can change.

So let’s make sure that, we strive to take advantage of the opportunities that we have here.”

This proposed precedent brought fears that new student clubs and organizations with fewer members would have a slim chance to receive grants based on their member percentages.

Governor Wang assured that this idea was solely to reward member increase and not punish smaller organizations.

Other motions were suggested for the club including a motion from Governor Michael Ibekwe, suggesting a grant total of $975 after determining that the 13 percent increase would still not appropriately cover the finances of the trip per student. However, the motion was denied, in favor of the percentage increase.

Congress passed a 2008 law that requires all railroads to install positive train control by the end of 2015, but it’s clear most of them will not meet the deadline.

The crash was so powerful that the electrified third rail came up and pierced the train and the SUV, and the SUV was pushed about 1,000 feet, Sumwalt said. The blaze consumed the SUV and the train’s first car.

Elizabeth Bordiga was commuting home from her New York City nursing job when she suddenly felt the train jerk a few times. She and other passengers in the middle part of the train started calmly walking to the back.

But then they started smelling gasoline, and somebody said there was a fire.

But they couldn’t open the emergency window or figure out how to escape until a firefighter got a door open, she said. Commuters lifted each other down from the train to the ground about 7 feet below, said Bordiga, who uses a cane.

“When I was on the ground, I looked to the right and saw flames. I couldn’t believe it,” she said.

In the first car, a man whose own hands were burned elbowed open the emergency exit latch, allowing some of the train’s roughly 700 passengers to escape, passenger Christopher Gross said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

The train’s engineer tried to rescue people until the smoke and flames got so severe that he had to escape, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said

f you walk into the Paul Mesaros Gallery for the newest exhibition by artist Adelaide Paul, you will be confronted by a multitude of not only mediums but also emotions.

This thought-provoking exhibition surprises, enlightens and gives an immense feeling of uneasiness. The nine sculptures on display are all animals, hence the title, “Anima.” To understand the hidden message behind these works of art, one must first understand Paul’s background.

Adelaide Paul was born Jan. 17, 1961 in Ber-

wyn, Pa., and lived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 1963 - 1969. She spent the remainder of her formative years in South Orange, N.J. After graduating high school, Adelaide expended most of her days teaching horseback riding, shoveling 400,000 pounds of horse manure, starting young race horses and managing a stable.

The time around horses molded her into the person she is today.

Now, Paul is an avid animal rights activist. Her pets, all rescued from various shelters, are a huge part of her life. Animals mean the world to this artist. Her relationship and love for animals profoundly impacts her art.

One look at her work and it is readily evident why

the sculptures are the way they are.

Walk into the gallery at the Creative Arts Center and you won’t see anything of particular interest except her name scrawled

across the wall in black.

Along with it are a pair of antlers and in bold, the word “Anima.” Your first impression is probably correct in thinking this

dog, mouth wide open as if it is howling to the bright moon overhead.

Shuffling around the howling dog to the gallery wall, you will find a

much smaller sculpture.

There is a mini pink porcelain horse craning its neck from out of the wall like it is still in the stable.

The only thing that stands out is a beaded necklace around its neck. This necklace is so out of place that it is almost absurd.

The weirdness doesn’t end there. Right next to the porcelain horse is another dog, except it doesn’t have ears. Instead, mounted on top of the head where the ears should be are two brass horns. Again, it doesn’t end there. On the adjacent wall is a fully proportional horse head, but where the mane should be, it isn’t. The “mane” hangs over the side of the horse’s head like a wig, which truthfully is actual human hair.

All of the pieces on display have a deeper meaning than one would think.

Almost every sculpture has something connected to human life. Some of the pieces are even the animals themselves, taxidermied animals covered in leather. Why use found objects with animals? Paul, through her artwork, wanted to share her curiosity with the consumer/ consumed/consummated relationship between humans and animals. Simply, who really ate who? Come check out this exhibition if you’re looking for something eerily satisfying.

Adelaide Paul’s exhibition will be open to the public in the Paul Mesaros Gallery through Feb. 26. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

This day in American culture: Landing on the moon, soccer with Ronaldo Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Although your iPhone 5 holds more power than this spaceship did in the ‘70s, Feb. 5 marks the day the Apollo 14 mission landed on the moon.

The crew that consisted of Alan Shepard Jr., Stuart A. Roosa and Edgar D. Mitchell, launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 31, 1971.

Six days later, the threeman crew landed on the moon to complete its mission. Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell were expected to explore the Fra Mauro highlands to extract lunar material and collect scientific data. An innovation of the modular equipment transporter allowed the team to carry cameras and portable magnetometers and collect double the data on even more lunar surfaces. Apollo 14 safely completed their mission on Feb. 9. After two deaths in the ‘90s, Mitchell is the only surviving crew member from the Apollo 14 mission.

A year after the crew aboard Apollo 14 returned from its venture to the moon, Robert Douglas made history as the first African American to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basket-

ball Hall of Fame. Founder and owner of the New York Renaissance basketball team, Douglas was nicknamed the “Father of Black Professional Basketball.” Owning the Renaissance from 1923 to 1949, Douglas oversaw 88 consecutive wins in the 193233 season, and his team eventually went on to win the World Professional Basketball Tournament in 1939.

At 29, Cristiano Ronaldo has quickly taken over the world of soccer, all while maintaining his lady-killer status. Born in Portugal on Feb. 5, 1985, the Portuguese footballer began proving his skills in 2003 when he signed Premier League giants Manchester United. Ups, downs, successes and failures led to Ronaldo’s decision to leave United in June of 2009. On June 26, Ronaldo signed the most expensive contract in soccer history, giving him a hefty paycheck totaling to $107,343,300. The soccer stud plays tough on the field, but he’s no stranger to the glamorous, glitzy life of modeling. If you can’t find Ronaldo working hat tricks on the pitch, he’s most likely in front of the camera modeling for Armani, Nike and CR7 underwear. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Experts say television is good in moderation, endless TV harmful NEW YORK (AP) — Beth Hoppe loves television dramas. Yet even with a digital video recorder and on-demand services that enable her to watch on her own schedule, there's not enough time to see everything on her list.

As the chief programmer for PBS, Hoppe has a business reason to stay current. So if she's feeling overwhelmed, how can the rest of us keep up?

For all of the changes in television, none is more profound than the sheer volume of material available now.

From NBC's "About a Boy" to SyFy's "Z Nation," there were 352 original scripted series shown in 2014 on broadcast, cable and streaming services. That doesn't count news, sports, talk shows, documentaries, movies or reality shows.

There were 26 original scripted series on cable in prime time and late night in 1999, and 199 last year - an increase of 665 percent. An additional 25 series were offered in 2014 on Netflix, Amazon or Hulu, services that didn't exist as original programmers 15 years ago.

The pace is only accelerating: the number of original cable prime-time series

alone has essentially doubled since 2010, according to the FX networks, which keeps count of the programs.

"The amount of competition is just literally insane," said John Landgraf, FX chief executive.

Cable networks could once run a successful business by showing primarily movies and reruns of old broadcast shows. "That's over," Hoppe said.

Viewers now can order an old movie whenever they want through a streaming service and not wait for a network to air it, said Alan Wurtzel, chief researcher at NBC Universal. Despite occasional successes like "The Big Bang Theory," the taste

for past-season network reruns is also fading, in large part because of all the fresh material available. Many reruns, too, can be ordered online for binge watching.

Distinctiveness is crucial now. Networks need shows of their own to establish identities. What was AMC before "Mad Men"? IFC before "Portlandia"? FX before "Rescue Me"?

"People won't become Lifetime fans because it ran `Golden Girls' for a while," said Tim Brooks, author of "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows." `'But when you produce original shows, especially ones that pop, they come back to the

network looking for the next premiere."

Brooks and co-author Earle Marsh updated their book for a ninth edition in 2007. No more, though. There are just too many shows.

Maybe there will be a saturation point, but it clearly isn't evident. The market doesn't really punish failure, Landgraf said. Unsuccessful shows disappear, but networks rarely do.

For viewers, there's almost never a lull period. There's a series premiere, or season premiere, seemingly every week. All of the action makes true out-of-the-box hits, like Fox has achieved with "Empire" the past few weeks,

Celebrating 31 Years in Same Location!

more and more rare.

A decade ago a television executive could advertise a new program and take comfort that a potential audience

would be motivated to watch, knowing they might miss it or miss being a part of the cultural conversation, Landgraf said.

February 2015 has just begun and with it, we begin celebrating Black History Month (also known as National African American History Month). Since 1976, each U.S. President has recognized February as a month to celebrate the achievements and historical significance of members of the black community. With roots leading

Students should also recognize the diversity on campus and celebrate the opportunities we have to interact with individuals from different backgrounds.

Be sure to keep in mind, while each month of the year can be attributed to a different achievement or cause, the reasons behind doing it are important and deserve our respect and attention.

Anti-Vaccination Movement:

FREEDOM TO CHOOSE or SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?

KIDNURSE.ORG

Parents should have the right to choose what is best chris kyer columnist @chriskyerda

The recent measles epidemic has left our country in a state of panic. Tracing back to Disneyland, the measles have long thought to be extinct in our country thanks to vaccinations.

But a relatively large number of outbreaks this past month point elsewhere.

There has been controversy over the subject matter lately.

As some are saying, it is a personal choice to get vaccinated but it seems to be a choice which affects everyone directly a r o u n d them. S o the question remains: Should it be a choice at all?

I believe it should be.

Many parents are being thrown under the bus for refusing vaccinations for their children—the root cause being the mistrust of vaccines and medicinal practice.

Years ago, a link was made between autism and vaccinations. This, however, has been disproven. There can be mild side effects to these vaccines, such as fever and rash. Some parents would rather not expose their children to these side effects, re-

gardless of what they are told. With many of the diseases vaccinated against, most of the time, a full recovery is made within a few weeks of infection. But what about not most of the time?

It really seemed to me like some people were overreacting to this infection, which is not so deadly at all. Then I did some research. It turns out measles are hardly deadly in developed countries such as the U.S. But in under-

“ Many parents are being

and considered necessary in fighting diseases.

And this is what most medical professionals will tell you.

What the media has been doing lately, lashing out against the antivaccine movement, is not productive for public health. By scrutinizing their choice, the media simply fuels their beliefs. Psychologically, attacking someone’s values will only make them defensive and fight back harder.

This is not good for people who a re on the edge of making the decision. It’s not like everyone can be vaccinated, anyway.

For reasons such as sickness, pregnancy or allergies to vaccine components, some people simply cannot be vaccinated.

Due to a thing called herd immunity, these people were protected because most other people are protected or immune, so they would never be exposed to the virus. But now those people are in danger. and it is not up to them whether or not they protect themselves. It is up to the people around them.

That means us.

DA

developed countries of the second and especially third world, fatalities are much higher.

In fact, deaths have been recorded in up to 28 percent of measles victims.

Many people are going to say we should not have the right to choose. I say this is ludicrous and un-American. When it comes to our own bodies and the bodies of our children, we should always have the right to choose. But what is the right choice?

A vast majority of medical experts are pointing one way—vaccintations are superbly efficient

daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Whether or not it should be required for parents to vaccinate their children has been a topic making headlines since the recent Disneyland measles outbreak. Two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine are recommended by the Center for Disease Control for children, with the first dose being administered between 12-15 months and the following between 4-6 years of age.

The CDC reports a 99 percent reduction in cases of measles since the time before the vaccine.

By nature, the vaccine causes an infection within the patient receiving it. Sometimes this infection may cause minor side effects such as rash, fever and the swelling of glands.

More extreme side effects, such as seizures, temporary low platelet count, deafness and brain damage, are rare and range from 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 1 million patients.

Some people, such as individuals with cancer or other immune compromising disorders, are thought to be protected by herd immunity. Herd immunity, or community immunity, is believed to help prevent the spread of vaccinepreventable disease due to the majority of the larger community being vaccinated and protected.

Moral obligation, protection for society elise cowgill guest columnist @cecowgill

When I was in the fifth grade, Mrs. Linda Poff had a very simple anecdote that has forever been stuck in my brain: “My rights end where someone else’s begin.”

For example: Your right not to vaccinate your child for whatever reason ends when your u nv a c c i n a t e d child begins spreading preventable, deadly communicable diseases to others.

There are a plethora of resources out there claiming the reasons one shouldn’t vaccinate their children, but allow me to save you some time. None of those claims have been substantiated by science.

Andrew Wakefield, a former British researcher and surgeon, claimed his fame from publishing a paper purporting a link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the appearance of autism.

When his peers were unable to replicate the results, Wakefield admitted that he deliberately falsified the results in order to further his personal beliefs against vaccination. His medical license was revoked.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states, “Overwhelming evidence demonstrates the benefits of immunization as one of the most successful,” health plans, and, “Immunization is, and should be recognized as, a core component of the human right to health and is an individual, com-

munity and governmental responsibility.”

What I’m saying is this: While you can argue all day it’s a personal choice and the government shouldn’t be able to hold you accountable for being a decent human being and not endangering the rest of the race, you can’t find a single peerreviewed or scientifically

gious disease, was once rampant in the United States - it’s now considered eliminated.

That means it is only contracted through travel out of the country - unless you happen to come into contact with someone whose parents oppose vaccines.

While it would be bad enough for children who are too young to be vaccinated or in the roughly 3 percent of vacc i nat e d children w h o don’t develop a lasting immune response to be infected, let’s talk worstcase scenario.

Children who are immunocompromised, often cancer patients, are unable to be vaccinated. As if having one deadly disease isn’t enough, let’s let your unvaccinated child attend school, daycare or a theme park and grab a second one at your behest.

Vaccinating is not a “personal” decision. It is an obligation based out of social responsibility to the rest of the human race.

It’s time to leave the dark ages and stop relying on “medical studies” which can’t be replicated or proven and believing charged accusations from news anchors who know nothing about medicine, science or, apparently, Google.

As Secretary of State and former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton succinctly put it on Twitter this week, “The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue and #vaccineswork.

Let’s protect all our kids.”

“ Vaccinating is not a “personal”

decision. It is an obligation based out of social responsibility to the rest of the human race. ” sound argument to back up your selfish claim.

Anti-vaxxers also claim “people aren’t dying anymore from those diseases,” so their children shouldn’t be exposed to possible rashes, headaches and other minimally significant side effects those injections cause.

The reality is, risk of disease doesn’t exist because of vaccinations - thus producing a circular and useless argument.

Failing to vaccinate your child is not only philosophically unreasonable, it is dangerous and provides an unwarranted risk to other people.

You’re probably aware of a recent Measles outbreak traceable to Disneyland. At least 195 children were exposed to an illness they should have zero chance of catching - a disease with a 15 percent fatality rate.

While 15 percent may not sound like a lot, complications from measles lead to a much higher percentage estimated between 65 and 70 percent.

Portland, Ore., versus Pabst Blue Ribbon PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland has reached a possible settlement in its trademark dispute with the maker of Pabst Blue Ribbon, the beer rejuvenated by the city’s turn-of-thecentury hipsters.

The d i s a g re e m e n t stemmed from the brewer’s use of an iconic downtown sign to promote a 2014 music festival.

The large neon landmark, which boasts a stag and the words “Portland Oregon,” is considered one of the most recognizable features of the city’s skyline. The deer’s nose lights up red at Christmastime.

The city had denied Pabst permission because it doesn’t allow images of the sign to be used for products not available to people of all ages.

City attorneys say Pabst Brewing Co. then created a “confusingly similar” knockoff. In essence, it re-

placed the words “Portland Oregon” with “Project Pabst” and swapped out the stag in favor of a unicorn.

The City Council was to vote Wednesday on whether to sue Pabst. But the item was pulled from the agenda because of what Mayor Charlie Hales described as a potential settlement.

A city attorney and a Pabst representative did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

For those familiar with Portland’s storied social scene, the idea of the city suing Pabst is as unthinkable as James Bond ordering a stirred martini.

Pabst Blue Ribbon became synonymous with Portland in the late 1990s and early 21st century as a prominent subculture of young people embraced the working-class brand that had largely fallen out

of favor with the previous generation.

The website promoting the 2015 Project Pabst music festival notes the connection: “We may have been established in Milwaukee in 1844, but it was in Portland that Pabst was reborn. Our love letter to Portland has been written in the stars for some time now.”

The sign, meanwhile, was installed around World War II and carried a variety of messages before “Portland Oregon.”

The city bought it in 2010 to thwart a controversial plan to change the slogan to “University of Oregon,” which is more than 100 miles south of Portland.

The city trademarked the image and for several years has charged those who want to use it for commercial purposes.

She said nearly 50 entities have paid, including the American Institute of Architects and the television show “Portlandia.”

The city has sent at least

three cease-and-desist letters to companies using the image without authorization, including a recent one to ride-hailing company Uber.

Classic books receive needed digital update Grammy analysis 2015 NEW YORK (AP) — Three E.B. White classics read by millions of parents to their children will soon be available on the digital screen.

Ha r p e r C o l l i n s a n nounced Wednesday that “Charlotte’s Web,” “Stuart Little” and “The Trumpet of the Swan” can be purchased as e-books starting March 17. White’s granddaughter Martha White told The Associated Press that family members had worried electronic sales would hurt business for their preferred format, paper.

“After discussing this with our agent (Amanda Urban), it’s become apparent to us that e-books complement sales of paper books, instead of replacing sales,” White said. “The print books of `Stuart Little’ and `Charlotte’s Web’ have been selling strongly, and we felt like it was time to allow the books into the market in other formats.”

White, whose grandfather died in 1985, said she imagined the e-editions being read by travelers, at airports and train stations, or by people in waiting rooms at doctors’ offices. But she hoped that at home families would still use the paper edition.

“I think the routines and rituals around reading to children still mean sitting on a bed or in an armchair with an adult, and the print book is the best format for that,” she said.

The publishing industry has long debated whether e-books expand the overall market or simply shift the market away from paper, for which sales have been flat at best over the past several years.

One area that has seen growth in both categories: young adult/children’s books.

Results from a 2012 Pew survey closely follow White’s ideal for the roles of print and digital: Nearly three-quarters of those surveyed favor e-books while traveling; around 80 percent use paper when reading with a child. Ellie Berger, president of Scholastic Trade, a leading children’s book publisher, said the two formats do complement each other and that “the combination of the two are greater than if we had print alone.”

As the e-book market has matured, the number of digital holdouts has rapidly declined, with J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude”

E.B. White’s classic “Charlotte’s Web” as well as two other books will be released in digital format as e-books. Pictured above is the original graphite cover illustrated by Garth Williams. among the few notable works still unavailable.

White said there are no plans to participate in a new and growing outlet for e-books, subscription services.

“It’s not something

we’ve been asked about and I don’t find myself wanting to go down that road,” she said. “The print book is always our primary concern and the bookstores are what we want to support.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The Grammy Awards, airing live on Sunday, include predictable nominees like Beyonce and Taylor Swift, and awards like best rap song and best country album. But we take a look at interesting factoids in this year’s nominations, including Joan Rivers battling Jimmy Carter for an award and Miley Cyrus earning her first-ever Grammy nomination.

JUSTIFIED (SORT OF) It’s still surprising that Justin Timberlake’s comeback album, “The 20/20 Experience,” didn’t earn a nomination for album of the year at last year’s Grammys. The pop star was also shut out of the other major categories including song and record of the year - and he opted out of attending the big show. But this year marks a redemption for the singer - sort of.

Timberlake is nominated twice for the coveted album of the year award on Sunday, thanks to his guest vocals on “Brand New” from Pharrell’s album “G I R L” and for co-producing “Partition” on B e yonce’s s elf-title d release.

LONG LIVE THE DEAD Joan Rivers, who died last year, is nominated for best spoken word album for “Diary of a Diva.”

It’s the comedian’s second Grammy nomination and first since 1983, when she competed for best comedy recording.

Her competition includes actor James Franco, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, singer Gloria Gaynor and former President Jimmy Carter.

Johnny Winter, the skilled blues guitarist who also died last year, is nominated for best blues album with “Step Back,” which was released two months after he died.

MALCOLM-JAMAL WARNER (MUSIC GROUP) Yes, the former “Cosby Show” star is nominated for a Grammy Award.

Jamal Warner is up for best traditional R&B performance for his spoken word portion on the song “Jesus Children” from the Grammy-winning Robert Glasper Experiment. The song also features Lalah Hathaway; its competition includes Anthony Hamilton, Marsha Ambrosius and Kem.

Virgin Galactic back on track, commercial space travel comes ever closer UPHAM, N.M. (AP) — The only thing interrupting the creosote and mesquite that make up one of New Mexico’s most remote stretches of desert is a pristine runway where Virgin Galactic plans one day to launch the world’s first commercial space-line.

In the four years since its completion, however, the runway has seen little use. No constant roar of jet engines. No screeches from landing gear. Just promises, year after year, that it would shuttle paying passengers to the edges of Earth.

Virgin Galactic had proclaimed 2015 was finally going to be the year. That was until the company’s rocket-powered spacecraft broke apart over California’s Mojave Desert during a test flight last fall, killing one pilot and igniting speculation about the future of commercial space tourism and Spaceport America.

Virgin Galactic CEO

George Whitesides said things are on track now and testing will take off again this year.

“I really think we’re turning the corner,” Whitesides said. “We’ve gone through one of the toughest things a company can go through and we’re still standing, and now we’re really moving forward with pace.”

He said the company and its investors aren’t backing down from the goal of making space accessible.

Virgin Galactic’s manufacturing crew is about two-thirds done with building a new spacecraft, and the operations team is ramping up for a test-flight program that will serve as one of the last major hurdles to getting off the ground.

“Our company has spent a lot of time and money to get to the point where we can carry out successful commercial operations at Spaceport America. We’re

still committed,” he said.

Whitesides has always been reluctant to attach a timeline to the milestones the company needs to reach, but he’s certain test flights will resume later this year.

That’s what New Mexico taxpayers want to hear.

They’ve already funneled nearly a quarter of a billion dollars into the world’s first purpose-built spaceport, and state lawmakers are being asked for nearly $2 million more this year to make up for the lost fees stemming from the delay in Virgin Galactic’s commercial flights.

Some lawmakers have called for pulling the plug, adding fuel to criticisms that the project - first initiated by former Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, and British billionaire Richard Branson - is a boondoggle.

Christine Anderson, the head of New Mexico’s Spaceport Authority, pointed to the ill-fated Apollo I launch rehearsal and the 1986 Challenger explosion as examples of space exploration efforts that resulted in tragedy. Still, astronauts and scientists pushed on, and she said those backing Virgin Galactic and Spaceport America are doing the same.

WVU’s poor shooting deterring press Tuesday night was not the best for Coach Bob Huggins and the No. 15 Mountaineers. Although they lost to a team that’s currently sitting at No. 21 in the AP Top 25, they lost by 19 points, so there’s not a lot of good that comes out of it.

The loss was definitely discouraging, considering the first team to make West Virginia’s press look inadequate is the same team the Mountaineers beat by 21 points in January.

The team had to play without its star forward, Devin Williams, which proved to be a serious problem as forwards Brandon Watkins, Nathan Adrian, Jonathan Holton, Elijah Macon and BillyDee Williams all struggled.

Without Devin Williams as an inside threat, the Mountaineers couldn’t keep up with the Sooners’ size underneath, nor could they compensate with outside shooting as they only shot 19.2 percent from behind the arc, as opposed to Oklahoma’s 54.5 percent.

With that being said, we learned two things from the Mountaineer’s lackluster performance Tuesday night: West Virginia needs Devin Williams on the court and better perimeter shooting if they have any hope of staying in contention for the conference title.

Granted, Oklahoma is better than their record says they are, as they’ve played arguably the toughest schedule in the conference thus far.

But we’ve also learned that West Virginia has played one of the softest.

With six of the Mountaineers’ nine remaining games being against currently ranked opponents, they’ll have to do more than press the sweat out of opposing offenses—Oklahoma proved that.

The way West Virginia bounces back from the loss starts with moving the ball inside more. This wasn’t just a problem Tuesday; it has been a problem all year long. The Mountaineers have had a self-destructive tendency to give up possessions by jacking unavailable 3-pointers when they can’t find a passing lane, which isn’t conducive with the skills they possess.

The Mountaineers are shooting just over 29 percent from the 3-point line, which would be worse if it weren’t for senior guards Juwan Staten (35.9 percent) and Gary Browne (35.8 percent) and the occasional help from Jaysean Paige (42.9 percent).

Freshman guards Daxter Miles Jr. and Jevon Carter have each had moments of glory but have shot considerably more from beyond the arc than anyone else on the team.

Miles Jr. has sunk 19 threes in 61 attempts, and Carter has sunk 27 in 89 attempts.

In comparison, Paige has 56 attempts, Browne has 53 and Staten only has 39.

Additionally, Adrian and Holton, both forwards, have shot for a combined 15-90 from 3-point land, which you would think should tell them one thing—stop shooting threes.

Both Adrian and Holton have all the necessary equipment and skills to play the forward position at a high level, as Adrian is a solid 6-foot9, 235 pounds, and Holton is 6-foot-7, 220 pounds. On top of that, Adrian has shot 16-30 (about 53.3 percent) from inside the 3 this season, and Holton has shot 67-111 (about 60.4 percent).

With another ranked matchup against No. 19 Baylor waiting Saturday, the Mountaineers are going to have to find another way to offensively support their fullcourt press. Even if Devin Williams is healthy, he’s going to need some help in the paint to handle the size and strength of 6-foot-8, 280 pound Rico Gathers, and it’s not going to come from Adrian and Holton sailing desperation shots from downtown. dschlake@mail.wvu.edu

Bre McDonald prepares for a free throw during the Mountaineers’ win against TCU last night.

West Virginia registers fourth Big 12 win against TCU, 76-61 by nicole curtin

associate sports editor @nicolec_wvu

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team won its fourth Big 12 game last night against TCU, 76-71.

Junior guard Bria Holmes led the Mountaineers with 30 points, her fourth career game with 30 or more. Sophomore Bre McDonald contributed 19, matching her career-high and senior Averee Fields posted 13.

“Overall, we played hard,” head coach Mike Carey said. “I thought people attacked, were aggressive and then when they started to make their run we weren’t aggressive anymore. We started turning

over (and) we took some bad shots.”

West Virginia started off on a huge run, taking a lead of 10-2 four minutes into the first half. Although the Horned Frogs tried to fight back, they could never get close enough to even tie the score, let alone lead.

The closest TCU was able to get to closing the gap in the first half was a nine-point deficit. Going into halftime, West Virginia led by 12, with the score at 39-27.

“West Virginia I thought played really well today,” TCU head coach Raegan Pebley said.

In the first half, the Mountaineers were shooting 43.2 percent from the field, 33.3 percent behind the arc and a strong 70.1

percent at the free throw line. TCU missed every attempted 3-point shot in the first half and was great at the foul line with 87.5 percent.

Coming into the second half, West Virginia went back and forth with TCU in scoring, but expanded instead. WVU took the biggest lead of the game at 56-41, a 13-point gap and that is when TCU decided to fight back.

The Frogs got within four points of the Mountaineers on a couple of occasions, but West Virginia wasn’t done yet. Accurate late free throw shots and a few jump shots helped the Mountaineers keep the lead and finish on top.

“Averee had a doubledouble (which is) good

to see, but we gave up too many offensive rebounds,” Carey said. “We got 28 (rebounds and) that was really good, but we gave up 17 and 19 turnovers. I thought when they cut it to four we settled down a bit and were able to get it back up to nine.”

In the game, West Virginia shot 42.2 percent from the field, 76.9 percent from the foul line and a low 28.6 percent from the 3-point line. Coach Carey said there was no direct intention of not going for 3-point shots, but the Mountaineers only attempted seven in the whole game.

“They play five guards— we felt until they brought in some post players, we

could get to the rim,” Carey said. “There was nobody there really protecting the rim, so I felt we could drive them and our taller guards can get in there and make things happen.”

Fields posted a doubledouble with 13 points and 10 rebounds. She shot 50 percent from the field and 75 percent from the foul line.

“They definitely stayed in the game a lot. I think that we were aggressive but we were kind of trading buckets at times instead of just putting it away,” Fields said.

West Virginia is now 14-8 overall, 4-6 in the Big 12 and faces Iowa State on Saturday. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

WVU finishes with No. 36 recruiting class by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The mayhem that is National Signing Day 2015 is officially in the books, and West Virginia reeled in the nation’s No. 36 signing class, according to ESPN. With the newest crop of Mountaineers expected to begin their collegiate careers next fall, here’s a look at how head coach Dana Holgorsen’s past four recruiting classes panned out.

2011 Class: The 2011 class ultimately set the groundwork for the Mountaineers’ turnaround season in 2014. The class featured several incumbent starters, including: Linebackers Nick Kwiatkoski, Shaq Petteway and Jared Barber, cornerback Terrell Chestnut, nose tackle Kyle Rose, offensive tackle Marquis Lucas, H-back Cody Clay and running back Andrew Buie.

Kwiatkoski, a two-year starter and anchor of the defense, led the team in tackles the past two seasons, tallying 103 stops last season and 11.5 tackles for loss in 2014. Barber registered 71 tackles and five tackles for loss in 2013 before tearing his ACL against Texas. He is expected to return in 2015.

2012 Class: The 2012 class featured eight players who earned starting roles last season, including: Safeties Karl Joseph and K.J. Dillon, offensive linemen Adam Pankey, Mark Glowinski and Tyler Orlosky, defensive end Noble Nwachukwu, receiver Jordan Thompson and kicker Josh Lambert.

Joseph, a three-year starter, finished with 92

tackles last season. Dillon, a two-year starter at the hybrid linebacker/safety position, registered 62 stops, including 7.5 tackles for loss and three interceptions. Lambert, a Lou Groza Award finalist, converted 30 of 39 field goals last season, including a long of 55 yards.

2013 Class: The 2013 class brought a bevy of offensive firepower to Morgantown, including: Receivers Kevin White, Mario Alford, Shelton Gibson and Daikiel Shorts and running backs Wendell Smallwood and Dreamius Smith.

White, a Biletnikoff Award finalist last season, hauled in 109 receptions for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns. Alford’s blazing speed complimented White’s physicality, tallying 65 receptions for 945 yards and 11 scores. The duo combined to produce 37 percent of West Virginia’s total offense in 2014.

The class wasn’t short on defensive talent, either, reeling in defensive backs Daryl Worley and Jeremy Tyler, linebackers Brandon Golson and Al-Rasheed Benton and defensive linemen Dontrill Hyman and Darrien Howard. Worley, a two-year starter at cornerback, grabbed three interceptions in 2014 and finished with 52 tackles.

2014 Class: Safety Dravon Henry and quarterback William Crest headlined the 2014 group that ranked No. 37 nationally. Henry started all 13 games at free safety for West Virginia last season, finishing with 45 tackles and two interceptions.

Crest began the year as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart but was forced

JUCO transfers Skyler Howard and Edward Muldrow saw valuable playing time during the second half of the season. Howard passed for over 800 yards and eight touchdowns in relief of starting quarterback Clint Trickett, while Muldrow registered 30 tackles and four tackles for loss at outside linebacker.

No. 1 WVU to face No. 6 Kentucky by andrew perez correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Rifle Team will be heading to Lexington, Ky., to face the No. 6 Kentucky Wildcats in the last match before NCAA Qualifiers.

The Mountaineers were able to beat Kentucky for the Great American Rifle Conference title last year 4702-4668, but the last time the Mountaineers traveled to Lexington they lost 4704-4695.

This collision of GARC teams comes only six days after the Mountaineers’ first loss since 2013. After losing to University of Alaska-Fairbanks by a single point, the Mountaineers are looking to end the regular season with some resiliency.

According to senior and West Virginia native

Thomas Kyanko, the team has taken the loss well and has not been affected by it. He said the team still remains positive for the rest of the year, but there are always things to take away from the match that need to be improved or developed.

“We never have been focused on just winning, we have been focusing on ourselves and what we can do to constantly improve,” Kyanko said. “It is more about staying in good form throughout the season.”

T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s are 15-9 all-time against the Wildcats. Kentucky (10-1) has won its last four matches heading into the matchup with West Virginia. However, Kyanko considers them to be another step on the road to NCAA Qualifiers.

The rifle team was able to pull off a school record of 2382 when they faced Kentucky in air rifle last year. However, the team’s emphasis may be in small bore because of the struggles they had last week.

Look for West Virginia to try and bounce back in small bore after giving up its first two small bore losses on the season last weekend. Last year in small bore, the Mountaineers were defeated by the Wildcats by four points, 2324-2320.

After a loss, some teams would try to make adjustments or change the way they do things, but according to Kyanko, there are no big changes coming. On the other hand, he did add that at this point in the season there is a little bit of a change in mindset when it comes to practicing and getting better.

“This is the point in the year where you are not focused on making any big changes to things, you are not just going to completely rebuild a position,” Kyanko said. “It is more about keeping things moving along and fine-tuning them.”

Looking past the Kentucky matchup, Kyanko said although he hopes the Mountaineers can be champions again, it is more about the results within the team. Although modest, he did admit he thinks they have a shot to win it all once again.

The match starts at 8 a.m. Saturday. This will be the Mountaineers’ last match before the NCAA Qualifiers at the WVU Rifle Range three weeks from Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore Devin Williams palms the ball in WVU’s home game against Oklahoma earlier this season.

by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Throughout the course of the 2014-15 season, No. 15 West Virginia has risen to the top tier of the Big 12 with unrelenting effort on the defensive side of the ball.

Tuesday night against Oklahoma, West Virginia’s defense broke down time and time again. The Sooners, who were run out of the gym in a 21-point loss to WVU in Morgantown earlier this season, were prepared for the full-court pressure this time around.

“Our pressure was not very good - and they didn’t do anything they didn’t do the first time - but they did a better job at spacing,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins in an interview with WVUsports.com.

“There is no excuse for not having pressure (more) than we had (Tuesday).”

When West Virginia’s pressure is working, which it has more often than not this season, opposing teams’ struggle just to get the ball across midcourt, let alone find a good look at the basket.

When opposing offenses keep good floor spacing and have confident ball handlers to break the press, however, West Virginia’s aggression can work against it.

That’s what happened Tuesday in Norman. The Sooners spread the Mountaineer defense out, making it nearly impossible to trap or double team without leaving someone wide open.

“They came out and kind of jumped on us a little bit, and we had a lack of discipline,” Huggins said. “Our bigs ran out from the basket and gave them layup after layup. We just didn’t do a very good job.”

The Sooners got plenty

andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

of open looks at the basket, building an offensive rhythm and putting West Virginia on the ropes as the game progressed.

It certainly didn’t help the Mountaineers’ case to be missing sophomore forward Devin Williams for the game. Williams, who is crucial to West Virginia’s inside presence on both ends of the floor, did not play because of an illness.

Williams’ absence was reflected in the stat sheet for the game. The Sooners exploited their advantage in the post, outscoring the Mountaineers 38-22 down low over the course of the game and making them pay for their full-court pressure.

“If you allow them to press without paying for it when you break it, then they are going to keep pressing. It’s only free money for them. If we make them pay a little bit, then we can at least even the scales a little bit,” said

Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger.

“I thought we didn’t give them many points off turnovers; we had a bunch off of turnovers and had a bunch against their pressure.”

While Oklahoma had no problem getting out in transition and finding easy baskets, West Virginia’s breakout game was choked off by the Sooners defense.

The Mountaineers were forced to operate in their half-court offense for the majority of the game, something that hasn’t favored them much this season.

“I’m extremely frustrated with the way we played,” Huggins said. “We don’t make shots, and we know that, so we have to make up for it. But that’s been from day one. Forget what we can’t do and let’s concentrate on what we can do to win, and today we didn’t do that.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

women’s track & field

WVU heading to Akron Invitational by dj deskins

correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s track and field team will travel to Akron, Ohio, to participate in the Akron Invitational this weekend.

Just like last week at the Thundering Herd Invitational in Huntington, the Mountaineers will compete Friday night and during the day Saturday in their individual events.

WVU will expect strong showings from several athletes who have been performing at high levels in the last few weeks.

“We expect to continue progressing,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “Many of the sicknesses that hindered us over the first few weeks of the season seem to be clearing up. As we continue racing over the next few weeks, we are simply looking to get out there (and) compete to our

basic ability levels.”

Ma r s i e l l e Mc B e a m will compete in her third event of the season. She has placed first in both of her previous attempts at the Thundering Herd Invitational and YSU College Invitational in the high jump. She cleared the bar at 1.70 meters in both competitions.

Katlyn Shelar has dominated her competition so far this season in the pole vault. She has finished in either first or second place in all five competitions she competed in. Her season best is a 3.96-meter vault.

WVU saw several athletes participate in their events for the first time this season at last week’s event. Kelly Williams and Amy Cashin both took home first place in their debuts.

Williams ran the 800meters for the Mountaineers and finished with a time of 2:13.94. She was closely followed by Brianna Kerekes and Shannen

Daly, who also had top-10 finishes.

Cashin ran the 3,000-meters for WVU. She outpaced the rest of the field by a margin of nine seconds and crossed the line with a time of 10:00.88. Fellow runner Allie Diehl finished seventh in the event.

Renee Maisonneuve looks to continue her consistent performances in the mile event in Akron.

She crossed the line first at Youngstown State and second at Marshall. However, she posted her season-best time this past weekend with a time of 5:03.20.

She wasn’t the only Mountaineer who recorded her best time in the mile at Marshall.

Lydia Martinelli crossed about 16 seconds after Maisonneuve in eighth place.

Cleary considers Maisonneuve to be one of his top athletes. He believes she has made one of the

biggest improvements from last season and expects her to continue to grow.

“Renee continues to get better in practice,” Cleary said. “I hope to see similar jumpers from numerous teammates as we enter the midpoint of the season.”

Shamoya McNeil followed up her second-place finish in the triple jump with a fourth-place finish at Marshall. Cleary expects her to improve upon that this coming weekend.

“Shamoya and Shelar should continue leading our field event rosters as the winter progresses,” Cleary said. “These three and their teammates need to continue executing what they practice all week. I am pleased with what I am hearing from their event coaches and believe we will see some very strong marks this weekend.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Harrison scores 23, No. 1 Kentucky turns back Georgia LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Not long ago, Andrew Harrison hesitated to take the shots that are now falling for Kentucky’s sophomore point guard. Karl-Anthony Towns’ main issue recently has been finishing off his promising starts.

Both players’ determination to progress resulted in huge efforts that kept the top-ranked Wildcats unbeaten.

Harrison scored a season-high 23 points and combined with Towns for key baskets down the stretch that helped Kentucky stop pesky Georgia 69-58 on Tuesday night.

Twice on the verge of running away from a Georgia squad playing its second straight game without

leading scorer and rebounder Marcus Thornton (concussion), the Wildcats (22-0, 9-0 Southeastern Conference) saw their margin dwindle near the end.

Harrison and Towns quickly asserted themselves to preserve the Wildcats’ lead.

Harrison’s layup with 3:58 remaining provided a 62-54 lead before baskets

by Yante Maten and Nemanja Djurisic pulled the Bulldogs to 63-58 with 2:06 left. Towns’ short jumper with 1:33 left got the lead to seven, and Tyler Ulis and Harrison each added two free throws in the final minute for the Wildcats.

Towns finished with 15 with a career-high 13

rebounds.

Those performances were big for both players beyond the outcome. For the oft-scrutinized Harrison, it demonstrated a growing confidence in his game that resulted in 8-of-16 shooting including three 3-pointers, seven of Kentucky’s 16 assists with just one turnover.

“I’ve been putting a lot of work in with my dad and the assistant coaches,” Harrison said. “It’s a blessing to play well.”

Added Kentucky coach John Calipari, “we’re trying to get him to be more aggressive. There were a couple of plays early in the game I said, ‘quit pulling it out. If they throw it

to you, attack, make plays and make plays for your teammate.’...

“I thought he played with good energy. Assistto-turnover, he played well.”

Djurisic’s 17 points led Georgia (14-7, 5-4), which outrebounded Kentucky 36-24. Maten added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs, whose nine offensive boards helped them stay nearly even in the paint against the taller Wildcats.

But Georgia couldn’t get the rebounds it needed in the final minutes while Kentucky did. Willie Cauley-Stein came up with one leading to Harrison’s clinching foul shots, and Towns sealed the game

with a block and rebound at the end.

“If we make another shot or two late, it could have been interesting,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said. “Kentucky’s got a great team and give them credit for making enough plays to win.”

Devin Booker had nine points and Ulis eight for Kentucky, which played its second straight game without freshman forward Trey Lyles because of an illness. While his absence hurt the Wildcats, Towns more than made up for it with two good halves after struggling to finish off strong starts.

“I’m just trying to put a lot of things together, and I see it’s working,” Towns

said after shooting 6 of 11 from the field. “I’m making a lot of shots right now, and that’s a testament to hard work.”

Towns and Harrison combined to shoot 9 of 16 from the field for 23 first-half points, including 10 down the stretch to provide a 42-27 halftime lead just when the Bulldogs were making it competitive.

G e orgia eventually trailed by 18 early in the second half before drawing to 51-42 with a 15-7 run over 4:04. The Bulldogs didn’t go away and had chances near the end but couldn’t get closer than five in the final minutes.

Harrison and Towns made sure of that.

Patriots draw cheers from fans at Boston parade BOSTON (AP) — Giddy fans of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots chanted “Brady!

Brady!” and clambered atop massive snowbanks for better views as players danced and waved their way through Boston in a Wednesday parade celebrating their fourth NFL title.

We l l - w i s h e r s b l e w kisses, pumped their fists and screamed themselves hoarse as the team rolled through downtown aboard the World War II-style amphibious “duck boat” vehicles that have become a staple of the city’s championship parades.

Some fans defied police warnings and climbed on giant piles of snow left from last week’s blizzard to get a glimpse of quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick and other players as trucks blew plumes of confetti into the air.

The crowd roared as a smiling Belichick and his players snapped selfies and took turns waving the Lombardi trophy earned in a hard fought 28-24 victory over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

A beaming Brady held his young son, Benjamin, who grinned and waved to the crowd. Later, Brady posted a video to Facebook. “ Thank you guys.

Thanks for all your support. What a year it’s been.

Look at this!” he said panning the camera over the

roaring crowd. “Let’s go!”

The convoy carr ying players, their wives and girlfriends, the team mascot, cheerleaders and more rolled down Boylston Street on route to City Hall, crossing the finish line of the Boston Marathon, where two bombs killed three people and wounded more than 260 others in 2013.

Fans sported No. 12 Brady jerseys, shouted the MVP’s name and held “We are the CHAMPIONS” placards. One had a sign that read: “Belichick for President.”

“I’m freezing, but it’s been great. It’s exciting,” said Annie Cushing, a Quincy resident who had been standing in front of City Hall for hours before the parade started, wearing a No. 87 Rob Gronkowski jersey and a homemade Lombardi trophy hat made of tin foil and tape.

The real Gronk drew laughs with his hip-hop dance moves. At one point, he chugged a can of beer tossed up by a fan while wearing a goofy winter hat of a one-eyed “Minion” character.

Not to be outdone, wide receiver Julian Edelman stood tall on the roof of a duck boat in sunglasses and a white T-shirt, at times a waving Patriots flag and holding up signs from fans, including one taunting the Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

“It’s been a while since they won. We’ve come close. The last two were killer,” said Chris Cunningham of South Kingstown, Rhode Island, referring to the Patriots recent Super Bowl losses to the New York Giants. “But this one was great. It made up for all of them.”

Lillard has 25 and Blazers hold off Jazz, 103-102 PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — With Robin Lopez’s return, the Trail Blazers seemed more at ease. Even a late threat from the Utah Jazz seemed surmountable.

“I think everybody was just more comfortable knowing he was out there,” said guard Damian Lillard, who had 25 points as Portland held off the Jazz 103-102.

Lopez fractured his right hand in a Dec. 15 game against San Antonio and missed 23 games. The 7-foot-center was badly missed.

“Not only does he help

the starting unit, he just helps the team all together because it sets rotations.

Everybody is back to what they’re accustomed, where they’ve been playing for so long,” Wesley Matthews said.

Lopez’s return, and the victory, came at the right time for the Blazers, who had lost three straight and five of their last six going into Tuesday night’s game.

After wrestling for the lead to start the fourth quarter, Matthews hit two straight 3-pointers and the Blazers went up 98-89 with 3:26 left.

Gordon Hayward’s 3 closed the Jazz to within 99-96, but Lillard answered with a driving layup. Joe Ingles hit another 3 for the Jazz to pull within 101-99 with 9.9 seconds left.

LaMarcus Aldridge made free throws before Trey Burke hit a 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds to go. Lillard missed his first free throw on the other end, then missed the second one intentionally and time ran out on Utah.

Aldridge finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Lopez had 11 points and six rebounds, held to just over

WEST VIRGINIA BASKETBALL

25 minutes on the floor.

Hayward finished with 27 points for the Jazz, who were coming off 110100 victory over the Western Conference-leading Warriors.

“We’ve gone from losing nine straight to being able to play with the best teams in the league, so we’ve just got to figure out how to be more consistent,” Utah coach Quin Snyder said.

Portland was coming off a 95-88 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday night, concluding a futile three-game road trip.

Lopez, wearing a black

wrap on his hand, made his first shot of the night, a dunk. His return sparked the Blazers, who got off to a 27-23 start after the first quarter.

“Any basketball player would prefer to be on the court rather than on the bench,” Lopez said afterward.

Nicolas Batum, who has been struggling with a sore wrist, hit a 3-pointer that made it 42-35, but the Jazz evened it up at 42 on Trey Burke’s layup and a pair of free throws. Hayward’s 3-pointer gave the Jazz a 4744 lead at the half.

Portland regained a 5750 lead early in the second on Lopez’s layup and pushed the advantage to as many as 11 points. But the Jazz answered with a 12-5 run to tie it at 62 after Hayward’s layup.

The Jazz responded to cut Portland’s lead to 72-70 going into the fourth quarter. The two teams wrestled back-and-forth the rest of the way.

“Even though tonight was a loss, we played really well, just not enough to win,” Hayward said. “So I think we try to learn from this one.”
