The employe es of Evive have become familiar at West Virginia University since the company’s initial launch in April 2012. Many students have grown to rely on their Evive bottles and the convenient cleaning and filling stations. Now, Evive has made updates to their machines located across campus. The new version gives students and faculty the option to fill their water bottle instead of having to clean them each time they use the station. “The second version didn’t have the capability to have a fill only option, so students and faculty used to have to get their bottle cleaned every time which caused long lines,” said Anthony Zabiegalski, user experience manager

for Evive. “Some people just needed a quick fill, so a line was unnecessary.” The Evive machines have been updated three times, and WVU has been the testing ground for each update. “The first version was basically a kitchen sink inside a cabinet, the second version was what was tested here at WVU, and the third version is what we have now,” Zabiegalski said. Along with the new updates to the machines, a new line of Evive bottles is now available for purchase. The bottles have five new colors: clear, blue, red, green and pink. Zabiegalski said the new bottles are also more durable and better for the environment. Tim Gardner, a senior MDS student and in-

SGA passes medical amnesty policy by sam bosserman staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Student Government Association passed a resolution endorsing a medical amnesty policy at its regular Wednesday meeting. The resolution passed unanimously and affirmed SGA’s support of efforts at both the university and state level. According to SGA officials, the medical amnesty policy will allow students to call 911 without fear of prosecution in cases where they fear for their friend’s medical well-being. Evan McIntyre, Board of Governors member and one of the bills co-sponsors, said the passage of the SGA resolution means the only hurdle left to clear in getting a fully implemented medical amnesty policy at WVU is obtaining approval from the University’s

attorneys. “Right now, the policy developed by (WELLVVU: The Students’ Center of Health) is being reviewed by the legal team, which I believe is the only thing delaying it from being implemented at the university level,” McIntyre said. “As soon as we have (the legal team’s) stamp of approval, we are going to take this right to the board of governors and see what they say about it.” Proponents of the resolution said the success of a medical amnesty program at the state’s flagship university could help push a bill supporting a statewide policy through the legislature. Kristan Pennington, chair of Student Advocates for Legislative Advancement, said her organization will work to put pressure on key politicians in the fight to get a bill passed. “We will be working directly with senators and delegates to get this

thing rolling … The best thing we can do is mobilize our troops and get them advocating,” Pennington said. “The chairman (of the judiciary committee) is the one we want to focus on… so that he may be more inclined to put (the bill)up for debate in committee.” BOG member Joy Wang announced she is looking for volunteers to take part in the SGAsupported student mentorship program. “We are looking for professionals who have a good foundation in their careers and are willing to serve as good role models for students,” Wang said. “These mentors are people who can prepare students for their futures and help students lay their own foundations for their goals.” Wang said any professionals interested in becoming

Alpha Phi Omega holds new member recruitment By Taylor MCSorley Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

West Virginia University offers a large number of organizations for students to get involved around campus, such as clubs, sports and Greek life. Alpha Phi Omega, a nationally recognized co-ed community service fraternity, is currently looking for new members to expand their growing organization. Undergraduate as well as graduate students are invited to join this dynamic organization. “Alpha Phi Omega is a great way to develop leadership skills,” said Samantha Haines, vice president of membership

at WVU. There are no specific qualifications to join this organization. Haines said the service fraternity is heavily involved in the areas surrounding Morgantown. “We have a lot of great service projects, including an autism run from Pittsburgh to Morgantown, a science carnival for local Morgantown students and a new event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, called St. Baldricks,” Haines said. In addition to community service, Alpha Phi Omega is in charge of holding bell ringing ceremonies for WVU students who have passed away. Alpha Phi Omega provides

its members the opportunity to develop leadership skills as they provide service to their campus, youth and community, nation and members of the fraternity. “I think it’s great that we have an organization like Alpha Phi Omega solely here to help the community, and the fact that it is co-ed is even better,” said Shannon Maloney, a sophomore business student.

Adventure WV to offer three trip options this spring By Evelyn Merithew Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Do you want to explore the world but don’t know where or how to get started? Adventure WV is hosting three trips this semester that will allow West Virginia University students to come together for a one-ofa-kind experience. Utah and Colorado, Fiji and New Zealand are three upcoming destinations planned for May. “We have a lot of interest in the trips this year,” said Greg Corio, director of Adventure WV. “Students really have the time of their lives.” Sophomore Outdoor Adventure Reorientation will take 20 students on a 15-day adventure camp-

ing, canoeing and hiking through the Colorado Rockies as well as the canyons and red-rock deserts of Utah. The three-credit trip will last from May 3-18. The trip is exclusively provided for students who just completed their freshman year. On the trip, students will share stories about their freshman year experience, where they are currently and what their goals for the future are. “There’s no better way of ending your freshman year than hopping in the van and driving cross-country into the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado plateaus and national parks,” Corio said. Students who go on SOAR will get to explore Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, paddle along the Green River into the

Colorado River and hike in remote areas. Trip participants will also get to travel by jet boat. “You follow the path of canyons, get to see dinosaur footprints on the petrified sand dunes and see some incredibly beautiful wilderness in the United States,” Corio said. Bob Riddle, a recreation, parks and tourism resources student, said he has been able to experience both SOAR and Adventure New Zealand. “It was my first time going out West, and I was so awe-struck by the landscape,” Riddle said. “It was something different I’d never done before, like going to Mars.” Applications for the SOAR trip are due Feb. 3. The Fiji six-credit trip will host 14 students from May 29-June 6. The excur-

sion will include coastal sea kayaking, white water rafting, snorkeling in lagoons and visiting the capital city, Suva. “The Fiji trip offers scuba certification on the coral reef and zip lining through the rainforest,” Corio said. “We have cultural visits with the villagers and get to go out where the dolphins live. “We stay on beautiful resorts right on the beach.” Adventure Fiji also provides students the opportunity to examine critical issues facing the tourism industry on the island and to study the coral reef ecosystems of the Yasawa Islands. The Adventure Fiji application deadline is April 1. Adventure New Zealand is also a six-credit excursion and will host 10 students from May 4-24.

“This trip is focused on outdoor leadership and technical skills,” Corio said. “Students get to go to the adventure capital of the world.” Students will do a full day of ice-climbing and a glacier hike on Fox Glacier and go on a three-night, four-day sea kayaking trip, paddling from beach to beach on the Abel Tasman National Park coast. “We also go on a fivenight, six-day backpacking trip along the Routeburn Track, one of the most popular and beautiful hikes in the world,” Corio said. Along the Routeburn Track, students will stay in huts with people from all around the world. “People in New Zealand’s views on nature are more prevalent than they are here,” Riddle said. “They take care of their

communities and their environment.” The Adventure New Zealand application deadline is April 1. Corio said the Adventure WV staff picks breathtaking destinations to visit and encourages anyone interested to learn more about the opportunities. “Employers are looking for global experience and awareness of the world and cultural differences, and these trips really provide opportunities for students to do things that none of them have ever done,” Corio said. “The students are going to make incredibly close friendships from it and learn an amazing amount about themselves and the world.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Job fair connects students to potential on-campus employers By Alexis Randolph Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Students are often strapped for cash, and it can be hard to find a flexible job willing to work around class schedules and extracurricular activities. So what better place to work than at an extension of the student’s school? The West Virginia University Office of Student Employment held an oncampus part-time job fair Wednesday. The fair featured 13 on-campus employers looking for spring, summer and fall student workers. The Office of Student Employment reaches out to different campus departments in order to organize a list on its website that students can use to find out who is hiring. Mary Alice Dunn, program coordinator for the Office of Student Employment, talked about what goes into making fairs like this run smoothly. “One of the important pieces is the advertising,” Dunn said. “We have a ban-

ner outside, a big advertisement in The DA, and we sent emails to students so they know about it.” Dunn said job fairs, even for part-time opportunities, are important to the WVU community as a whole. “It really links the employers who need to fill their positions with quality students,” Dunn said. With the variety of jobs available, students can find the right kind of parttime job to suit both the time and talents of every student. “We have some (employers) looking for employees for summer camps, (and) the conferencing center is looking for conference assistants,” she said. “Energy Express is looking for reading mentors and community coordinators, and we have work study here for folks to pick up their work study assignments. “We are just glad with the turn out we have had with the amount of students here.” Kathy Burns, the project coordinator for WVU Conferencing and Event Sched-

ics of the tour are still being brought together, and information will be released through Twitter and other outlets shortly. SGA Elections Chair Josh Harrison said the SGA campaign season officially gets underway Monday, when candidates are allowed to start collecting signatures. Harrison said those approached for signatures should take the opportunity to become e n ga g e d i n s t u d e nt politics. “You don’t have to just sign someone’s paper. You can take the opportunity to ask them why you should sign and what they are going to do if they are elected,” Harrison said.

who use those facilities daily,” Gardner said. In the past 10 months, the Evive Stations have been used more than 250,000 times throughout the WVU campus. Some students use the Evive machines two or more times a day.

Burns said she believed the fair was an effective way to reach student workers. “We’ve had a decent turn out; this is a very effective way to get to students,” Burns said. “Fairs like this are very beneficial, as they help to get the word out there we are hiring.” Burns also talked about what her department is looking for specifically in terms of employment. “We are looking for summer employment, so May through August, for students to work as conference assistants,” Burns said. “They will work in the halls and sit at the desks checking people in and out, much like a hotel. “We are looking for students who can work any shift.” Adaugo Azuonwu, a freshman pre-pharmac y student, said she stopped at the fair because of the opportunities available on-campus. “I saw lots of people here,

Script in the works for possible new Cosby sitcom NEW YORK (AP) — NBC is confirming that Bill Cosby is developing a possible new sitcom he would star in. The deal brings the 76-yearold entertainer together with a writing staff to create a script for a comedy that casts Cosby as the patriarch of a multigenerational family. An NBC spokesman said Wednesday that, as yet, there is no series order, nor even a deal to produce a pilot episode. Cosby’s greatest TV triumph began at NBC three de-

cades ago, when “The Cosby Show” launched in September 1984. It ran for eight seasons. Less successful was “Cosby,” another sitcom that aired on CBS for four seasons starting in 1996. His latest TV venture is “Bill Cosby: Far From Finished,” a stand-up comedy special that premiered on Comedy Central in November. Cosby’s new project was first reported by Deadline Bill Cosby is set to star in a new sitcom. Hollywood.

Grammy Awards to feature wide variety of celebrities (AP) — Predicting who will come up with the next morning’s water-cooler moment at the Grammy Awards is just as difficult as guessing who will win album of the year. Grammy producers seem to have found the magic formula lately, pairing artists in ways that may not make sense when we first hear about them, but have made for compelling television nonetheless. In 2014 we have the head-scratchers Metallica with classical pianist Lang Lang, Kendrick Lamar with Imagine Dragons, and Robin Thicke with Chicago, and we can’t wait to see how they turn out. And there’s also Katy Perry, Lorde, Pink with fun.’s Nate Ruess, one of last year’s top winners, Sarah Bareilles and Carole King, and a trio of legends – Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson – will join Blake Shelton. All make for exciting

moments, but here are a few predictions for who will provide the night’s top moment: The Fab 2: The Beatles have defied time, age, changing tastes and fate to remain the world’s most popular rock `n’ roll band more than 40 years after the group broke up. John Lennon and George Harrison aren’t with us anymore, but that won’t dim the excitement as Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr take the stage. Which of their dozens of hits will they perform? Will the sons of Lennon and Harrison join them? Doesn’t really matter, it’s the first time Sir Paul, a two-time nominee this year, and Ringo have performed together since 2010, and whatever they do will be talked about for a long time. Everyone gets “Lucky”: Had McCartney and Starr chosen to sit this one out, the night’s most anticipated performance would likely

belong to the throng of favorites joining Daft Punk onstage — Stevie Wonder, Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams and the star session men who helped them make “Get Lucky” a memorable song. The charisma emanating from the stage will be off the charts. And adding Wonder means fans not only get to have their cake and eat it, too, but they also get to scrape the last of the icing out of the bowl. Swift’s coronation?: Taylor Swift put out “Red” way back in late 2012, and for the most part, the 24-year-old pop star has been left out of the buzz surrounding the Grammys. Oddsmakers, however, are keeping her close to their hearts and we’re here to remind everyone that Sunday could easily be Swift’s night. She’s already a Recording Academy favorite and is the odds-on favorite to win album of the year. If she does win, it would make her the young-

est artist with two album of the year awards — surpassing Wonder by a month or so. Her last two performances at the Grammys have been sprawling and colorful, another reason to stay tuned. Jay Z and Beyonce: Our top nominee and his Queen B will perform, and the tweets will fly. Presumably the couple is performing nominated song “Part II (On the Run).” But doesn’t this seem like the perfect opportunity for Beyonce to do something big? She’s yet to play a song from her new self-titled album. It came out too late for these Grammys, but what’s the harm in laying the groundwork for the next round of awards? The big rumor: Have you heard the one about Madonna making a surprise appearance? Look it up. The Grammys will air live Sunday on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

J.D. Salinger book sales jump after documentary airs NEW YORK (AP) — The airing of a J.D. Salinger documentary has returned “The Catcher in the Rye” to the top of best-seller lists. “Catcher” was No. 1 on Amazon.com and No. 20

on Barnes & Noble.com within hours of “Salinger” appearing Tuesday night on PBS stations. Rankings for other Salinger books also surged. “Nine Stories” was No. 77 on Wednesday morning,

jumping from No. 6,639 the day before. “Franny and Zooey” rose from 6,191 to 172. The documentary directed by Shane Salerno was released in movie theaters last fall. It alleges that

at least five new books by Salinger will be published. Salinger reportedly wrote steadily over the last 45 years of his life but permitted nothing to be released. He died in 2010 at 91.

James Blake’s ‘Overgrown’ transcends audiences, decades Mitchell Glazier A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

««««« James Blake’s newest album “Overgrown: Deluxe Edition” is nothing short of mesmerizing. Blake makes use of modern electronica elements, which create a hypnotizing body of work when combined with his milky, soulful voice. While his origins lie in the founding of modern dubstep, Blake’s latest work has evolved into a masterful blend of soul and R&B. Tracks from “Overgrown” are sure to be spinning in swank and smoky jazz clubs for years to come. With a voice like Blake’s, it’s nearly impossible to create anything short of extraordinary. Blake and his producers, however, further his natural sound with classic brass and blues elements.

Along with winning the Mercury Music Prize, which is given by industry leaders in the U.K., Blake’s “Overgrown” was also nominated by The Guardian as the fifth best album of 2013. In addition to these accolades, Blake received a Grammy for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The Guardian also likened Blake’s voice, sonically, to the legendary Billie Holiday. Key tracks from the album include “Retrograde,” a synth-laced love anthem, and “Voyeur,” a melancholy tune that showcases Blake’s incredible range. Aside from the music, the physical album is dazzling. The cover art features the 6-foot-5 Blake amid a snowy industrial landscape, with a moody blue fog wrapping around the scene. There’s something for nearly everyone in Blake’s “Overgrown: Deluxe Edition” album. For R&B lov-

ers who become engrossed in brassy beats and deep, vivacious vocals, “Our Love Comes Back” may set a nice tone for dinner with your Valentine. Fans of pop music will relish the insistent beat of “Digital Lion,” a layered piece featuring Blake hum-

ming along to a melancholy chorus, which is sure to mend the hearts of lovelorn singles in February. Blake is timeless and truly transcends genres and generations. “Overgrown” is an album to get lost in.

Jake Jarvis A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

For those of you thinking Kanye West couldn’t get any more ridiculous, he has out done himself this time. The Church of Yeezianity, a new religious group, views West as a god. Showing up online about a month ago, Yeezianity seemed like a viral Internet scam at first. However, after much i nv e s t i gat i o n , t h e re might be something to this. On West’s “Yeezus” album, he produced a song called “I Am A God.” During this song he makes some outrageous claims, not the least of which is his proclamation that he is a god. The fictional religion is composed of five pillars of faith, including one that says “Money is unnecessary …” It’s ironic that tickets to Kanye’s “Yeezus Tour” are about $134 each. Another noticeable pillar of faith according to this religion is “All human suffering exists to stimulate the creative powers of Man.” “For me, you know, I’m a creative genius, and there’s no other way to word it,” West said in an interview with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The belief West is a supreme deity stems from his creativity. Creativity isn’t just limited to art forms, but in Yeezianity, it umbrellas out to creating a better world for all of mankind. “Create for others what you would have created for you,” reads the yeezianity.com on their “Golden Rule.” Under the “Our Savior” tab of the website for the church, we learn the real name of the savior (Kanye) should never

Former CNBC anchor-reporter Maria Bartiromo set to join Fox Business Network as Global Markets Editor NEW YORK (AP) — Former CNBC anchor-reporter Maria Bartiromo is joining Fox Business Network as its Global Markets Editor.

be spoken, and he should only be referred to as Yeezus. “He has shown the modern world the creative potential of a human being, and he serves as a living model for behavior and ethic,” reads yeezianity.com. The founder of The Church of Yeezianity has chosen to remain anonymous. “Our numbers are growing by the day, (and) we will not disclose their magnitude, but chances are they are a magnitude of 10 larger than what you would estimate they are,” said the website. Yeezianity has been getting quite a bit of media attention. Perhaps the founder’s motives are a bit more personal than purely spiritual. “Well, it will certainly start a dialogue to some extent,” said the founder in an interview with Eric Sunderman. “But in a lot of ways, on a personal level, I want to attract Kanye to the point where I can meet him at some point.” Yeezus, with his mystical powers of creativity, is supposed to lead humanity into the new Age of Creativity. The twitter account for the church, @Yeezianity, is full of selfies from supporters holding signs that say, “I believe in Yeezus.” These, of course, are called “Declarations of Faith.” So perhaps this is just a ridiculous ploy to get attention, or perhaps it is the real belief of a man courageous enough to speak up.

POTUS takes a stand against sexual violence on campus How do you know the number of sexual assaults on college campuses and in the military has gotten out of hand? When the President of the United States has to form a task force to draw attention to it. President Obama met with his cabinet and senior advisers Wednesday and was expected to sign a presidential memorandum creating a task force focused on sexual assault on college campuses, according to the New York Times. A report compiled by the White House Council, “Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call to Action,” stated that one in five college students has been a victim of sexual assault, but only 12 percent of those victims report the crime. The report also found 22 million American women and 1.6 million men have been raped in their lifetimes. These victims are more likely to suffer from depression, substance abuse and physical ailments. Rape is most prevalent on college campuses, and this is where Obama will focus most of his efforts. According to the report, rape is most common on college campuses because of the higher amount of drug and alcohol abuse, which can impair victims’ ability to think and act. Obama is giving this new task force three months to provide recommendations for colleges to not only prevent but also report attacks. According to NY Daily News, the task force will also be responsible for increasing awareness of each college’s track record and enhancing coordination among federal

agencies to hold schools accountable if they don’t properly confront the problem – something that obviously isn’t happening currently, as evidenced at such schools as Yale and USC, in clear violation of the Clery Act. This decision comes on the tails of Obama’s ultimatum to the Pentagon to address the recent wave of sexual assaults in the military and find a way to prevent assault in its ranks or be subject to reform. It is surely a sad state of affairs when the president has to issue ultimatums to provide a safe environment for rape victims, but perhaps it’s a step in the right direction. The number of assaults isn’t going down, and something needs to be done. However, the “Rape and Sexual Assault” report found an interesting fact. It declared the criminal justice response to sexual assault is often inadequate and laid clevland.com out goals for arrest and prosecution without any specific Kim Jong-un, supreme leader of North Korea, and former NBA star Dennis Rodman watch a basketball game together in September.

Can religion make you immune to depression? JAke JARVIS a&E WRITER

Religion, spirituality or a sense of purpose can do wonderful things for a person. It can drive one to do acts of charity, take care of one’s body or even help one’s neighbor. As far back as we can look, human beings have been worshipping gods. The history of religion begins with the ceremonial rites of burying the dead in ancient Eurasia, and it is often seen now as the worship of Jesus Christ in Christianity. There are a plethora of different religions practiced around the world, and one could argue that with each different understanding of a religion, so too comes a different belief system. But as we will see, our unique understanding of a deity may not be as important as believing in the first HUFFINGTONPOST.COM place. Here at West Virginia University, we A recent study shows people who place an importance on religion or spirituality have thicker brain cortices. As a result, these individuals have a lower likelihood are fortunate to have students from many ethnic backgrounds. We are of experiencing depression.

lucky to be exposed to many different belief systems so as to see the parallels between them. According to a study released by Lisa Miller, Ph.D., director of clinical psychology at Columbia University, people who place an importance on spirituality or religion tend to have thicker brain cortices. What this translates to is a decreased likelihood of experiencing major depression. At many church organizations there is an emphasis on fellowship with members. Perhaps this interaction, this care from other human beings, works as a guard from depression. But it is important to note Miller’s study did not measure the importance of regularly attending religious events, but rather the importance a person places on religion, which means the fellowship idea is out. I am not a religious person. I have explored belief systems both popular and off the beaten path. Friends of mine who are deeply religious seem to be just wired differently than I. Does this study mean I am doomed to a life of depression? Of course not. Does religion protect against de-

pression? That’s a whole different argument. I would wager both variables, reported importance of religion and decreased likelihood of depression, are influenced by brain structure. It would be great to say believing in a higher power somehow changes our brain, and we become magically immune to depression. Some people reading this might be saying, “Hey, that’s what I think.” We see what we want to in the data. Some might see this as a sign from above. Some see this as the intertwining poetry of science and humanity. But we all see something in it. People should find something that works for them. If going to church helps you cope, go to church. If eating several pints of Ben & Jerry’s helps you cope, that’s okay, too. The point is to cope. We may not definitively know the connection between our psyche and religion, but we are getting closer. In centuries to come, the world will look back on this time and scoff. “How did they not see it all along?” daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you go from being idealistic to being intensely practical. Others might feel a bit insecure around you, as they don’t know who will be in your shoes from one day to the next. Be sensitive to others’ needs. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone while out and about. Your relationship might have too public a profile for comfort. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy a common commitment that often occupies your time. Make sure that you also schedule time away together to relax. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH A meeting might take place in the morning. By the afternoon, you will seek out individuals rather than groups. Use your intuition when deal-

ing with a feisty partner. How you see a situation could change because of a conversation. Tonight: Avoid sending mixed messages. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Complete a good amount of work by midday. An associate, partner or loved one could demand a lot of attention in the afternoon. You know what you want, but the other party might not be as sure. A discussion could be difficult, as a result. Tonight: Mix friends and fun. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Tap into your imagination in the morning, when an idea is more likely to serve you. Late afternoon presents a different outlook and a far more demanding schedule. A boss might be eyeing your performance. Do not disappoint him or her. Tonight: Clear out as fast as you can.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Your temper could rise to the surface in the morning, yet by the afternoon, you might forget what had upset you. Your imagination fills in the gaps and easily can find a solution. Tap into your instincts regarding a child or loved one. You will know what to do. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Return calls, make time for a meeting and handle as much as you can in the morning. By the afternoon, you will want to become less available. You might have a situation on your mind that you need to sort out. Give yourself some extra time to reflect. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Be aware of what someone else expects, because you don’t want to disappoint this person. In some form,

you could send mixed signals. To keep that from happening, be clear with yourself before you act on a personal matter. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Get a head start on your day, if possible. If an important matter must be handled, do it the morning. By the afternoon, your concerns might change. A discussion about finances seems inevitable. Be aware of a certain insecurity that seems to control you. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You could feel off in the morning and wonder why you are proceeding the way you are. Stop. Think things through, and take your time. You could feel a lot differently about the same situation a little later. A family member tends to drag you down. To-

night: At home. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH Dealings with others are highlighted. You need a better sense of direction and an idea of what you want. If you are straightforward, others are likely to respond in kind. Use the afternoon for doing some quiet work, and perhaps make a call or two. Tonight: Do your vanishing act. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Several associates will seek you out for advice. Right now, you need to take a strong stance. Don’t allow anyone to distract you. Understanding will evolve later in the day. A meeting could allow you to share recent events and news. Tonight: Start the weekend early. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You could be making an

important decision before you know it. Your take-charge attitude will pay off quickly. Don’t hesitate to stay on top of a key situation, as no one else cares about your interests as much as you do. Tonight: Loosen up, and enjoy what is happening with a friend. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH A direct conversation establishes a connection, but not necessarily an agreement. You could be in for a fast change if you are not careful. How you deal with a friend or loved one might change, given a different perspective. Detach. Tonight: Only where there is music.

Silent Lions to visit 123 for first time by lacey palmer a&e editor @LACEYPALMER

Goodwolf, Rozwell Kid and Silent Lion will take the stage at 123 Pleasant Street tonight to display their unique blends of chill alternative rock. Goodwolf, the solo side project of Tyler Grady of local band Sleepwalker, often plays at local bars around the area. His style is most comparable to experimental grunge rock, which he achieves quite successfully. Rozwell Kid, a solo project of drummer Jordan Hudkins of local band The Demon Beat, plays a style of rock ’n’ roll with a twist of energetic, ’90s grunge. He released “Unmacho” in early 2013. Silent Lions, of Toledo, Ohio, are known best for their blend of heavy soul

and stoner rock. The duo, comprised of Dean Tartaglia on affected and distorted bass guitar, vocal effects, other rhythmic sound and vocals and Matt Klein on drums and vocals, draws influences from Nirvana and The Cure. They’re currently on tour to promote their recent release, “The Compartments,” which was came out Jan. 14. “We hit the road the day after the record came out, and every show has been great,” Tartaglia said. “Overall, the momentum we’ve had as a band, with only a year under our belts, has been incredible, and it really has mostly been propelled by our tour schedule. (We’ve been) making a lot of new friends and fans throughout the East Coast and Midwest.”

According to Tartaglia, the band went outside the box with “The Compartments” compared to their previous releases, such as “The Parliaments.” “We went a little further down the rabbit hole with genre manipulation and textures,” Tartaglia said. “It feels more like a psych-soul, atmospheric-soul, trip-hop record … Also, the bass and drums were recorded live, and there is a lot of cool bleed and natural, organic tracks.” Silent Lions has never visited Morgantown before, and they’re looking forward to checking out the area. “123 Pleasant Street is a legendary venue in the indie circuit, and we are excited to make some new fans,” Tartaglia said. “West Virginia is one of our favorite states and has always been very accommodating to our sound. We can’t

Ohio who make as much noise as we can against the foundation of a great pop tune,” Klein said. “We really play up the soft and loud and tempo dynamics of our songs live, so I think

someone seeing us for the first time will be surprised at the twists and turns.” The show is set to begin at 10 p.m. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

‘American Idol’ receives another change in judges carly smith a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

“American Idol” returned last week to Fox to begin the show’s 13th season. The show has premiered every January since 2001, giving hope to singers across the country and crowning one winner with the title of American Idol and a record deal. “Idol” has had many successful winners in the past, including pop star Kelly Clarkson and country singer Carrie Underwood. Artists such as Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry, who ultimately didn’t win, still have topped the charts and the box office since appearing on the show. “Idol” has gone through many changes and rough patches throughout the past 12 seasons. The judges

have changed from year to year, and the original judges – Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell – are long gone. This marks the first season in which none of the origional judges remain on the show. Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. have taken on the challenge of sorting through thousands of contenders to find the next American Idol. “Idol” has faced the challenge of more and more singing competitions debuting on television, as well. “The Voice” has competed with Idol since it premiered five seasons ago. “The Voice” will continue to battle “Idol” for ratings when it premieres at the end of February. While many think Idol has run dry and that it is time to quit, the show came in with a bang last week.

mately took away the focus on those who really loved to sing. This season, the producers began to only focus on contestants’ backstories when it directly related to their audition. This allowed the participants’ talent to shine through, which is imperative to keep viewers tuning in. While the new “Idol” may hit some speed bumps with the new judges, the show will continue to be successful as a singing contest. “Idol” has been on for twelve years and produced so many talented musicians that it is hard to argue with the results of the show. www.huffingtonpost.com “Idol” is not be burnt out Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban replace former judges in ‘American Idol’ this season. just yet, and this season The new judges added lished musicians.

Bruno Mars to perform at Super Bowl, collaborate with variety of artists NEW YORK (AP) — Wish Bruno Mars would write you a hit song? Keep dreaming. The singer-songwriterproducer, who has penned hits like CeeLo Green’s “Forget You!” and B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You,” says he’s not interested in churning out tracks for other artists like he’s done in the past. “There’s a piece of me that’s no longer there — which was basically let me write a song and then sell it,” Mars said in a recent interview. “That was back in the day when I was struggling and hustling to pay rent. I

was selling songs for 250 bucks ... but now that I’m OK, I shouldn’t treat it like a sport.” The 28-year-old, who is one-third of the production trio The Smeezingtons, has produced for Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Flo Rida. Mars said he now wants to collaborate organically with others — much like on his latest album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” which is nominated for four honors at Sunday’s Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. His sophomore effort, released in late 2012, features Mark Ronson, Jeff Bhasker,

Diplo and Paul Epworth. The album’s lead single and No. 1 hit, “Locked Out of Heaven,” is nominated for song and record of the year. He said the upbeat jam took “months and months” to create. “People didn’t see us going at each other’s throats in the studio and pulling out our hair for a song like `Locked Out of Heaven,’” he said. “Trying to get these drums right and figure out a base line. ... It being recognized in these monster categories is an extreme honor.” The crooner’s other No. 1 hit, “When I Was Your Man,” is nominated for best pop solo performance, while his near-double platinum album is up for best pop vocal album. This year marks Mars’

fourth nomination for record of the year; this is his third for song of the year. He won his first and only Grammy for best male pop vocal performance with “Just the Way You Are” in 2011. Though his debut, “DooWops & Hooligans,” earned a nomination for album of the year, Mars said he’s not

disappointed “Unorthodox Jukebox” isn’t competing for the top prize this year. “I’m good, man,” he said with a laugh. “If I would have asked for anything more, I’d be a jerk. I’m happy.” The singer, who was named Billboard’s top artist last year and will perform at the Super Bowl half-

time show on Feb. 2, will launch a tour April 18 in Honolulu. He said he isn’t recording new music at the moment. “Nope. Nothing. I’m tapped out,” he said. “Of course melodies come into my head and chord changes come in, but honestly I’ve just been enjoying this right now.”

Mountaineers rallying behind Lucas in 2014 BY MEGHAN CARR SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Redshirt freshman JeanPierre Lucas is taking advantage of his opportunity with the West Virginia University rifle team this season. Head coach Jon Hammond said Lucas has made a considerable amount of progress this season and believes he gets stronger with every match. “He has an incredibly high drive, motivation and work ethic and he brings that every day,” Hammond said. “With that, I’ve seen a lot of improvement over the last semester, and he’s learning all the time.” After competing in several matches this season, Lucas made his first start

on the counting team for the Mountaineers Jan. 19 against NC State. He tallied 583 in air rifle and 585 smallbore, placing him fourth in smallbore. Lucas said he also believes his shooting improves with match experience. He’s averaged 575 in smallbore and 583 in air rifle for the season. “I could see myself increasingly getting used to the match pressure. It’s more of a time thing, just getting more experience,” Lucas said. “The guys on this team are amazing shooters, all of them. They’ve been there and done it, and for me, just trying to catch up takes time.” Lucas hails from Speers, Pa. He chose to come to WVU in fall 2012 and joined the rifle club team.

Lucas worked hard to improve his shot and joined the Mountaineers in January 2012. Lucas sat out with a redshirt for the remainder of the 2013 spring season. “I worked harder than I’ve ever worked to get on the team, and it’s something I’m really proud of,” Lucas said. Lucas attended Charleroi High School and competed in the National Junior Olympic Championships. After graduating, Lucas decided to major in petroleum and natural gas engineering at WVU. Although balancing his engineering classes and being a college athlete can be difficult at times, Lucas said he knows where his priorities lie. “Your parents always tell

you school first, but when you’re on a team like this, I look forward to practice,” Lucas said. “I never miss class, but I definitely enjoy coming here, and shooting feels like my priority.” Lucas jokes that his parents probably don’t want to hear he values shooting more than school. In December, Lucas traveled to the USA Shooting Winter Airgun Championships in Denver. He placed 14th overall after finishing with 1837.3 for the weekend competition. After his strong shooting, Lucas was selected to compete in the Bavarian Airgun Championships held in Munich, Germany. “It was a lot of match pressure that I wasn’t used to, but I talked to Jon (Hammond) and a couple guys

on the team and asked how they handle things, and some of the advice they gave helped me feel more confident,” Lucas said. Out of both guns, Lucas said he enjoys smallbore more, which is unique to this team. Most of the shooters said they enjoy air rifle. “I just enjoy shooting the three positions in smallbore, and for me I find a challenge in each position. It’s definitely a lot harder, but I’ve always leaned toward smallbore.” Lucas will not travel with the team to Murray, Ky. this weekend. Instead, he will be overseas competing in the 2014 Bavarian Airgun Championships from Jan. 23-26. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Ex-Cowboy convicted of intoxication manslaughter DALLAS (AP) — Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter Wednesday for a fiery wreck that killed his teammate and close friend, Jerry Brown. He faces up to 20 years in prison for a December 2012 wreck after a night of partying with fellow Cowboys players. He could also get probation. Jurors took about nine hours over two days to convict Brent, who was led from the courtroom in

handcuffs as family members sitting in the front row of the gallery sobbed. Among those sitting with Brent’s family was Stacey Jackson, Brown’s mother. Jackson did not respond to questions as she left the courtroom Wednesday with Brent’s family, but she has said in interviews that she’s forgiven Brent and could testify in support of a lighter sentence for him when that phase of the trial begins Thursday. Attorneys from both

sides remain under a gag order that prevented them from commenting after the proceedings. Prosecutors say Brent, a defensive tackle, was drunk when he crashed his Mercedes on a suburban Dallas highway in December 2012, killing Brown, a linebacker on the Cowboys practice squad who had also been Brent’s teammate at the University of Illinois. Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Brown’s body from the

wreckage. Police say Brent’s blood alcohol level was tested shortly after the crash at 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Texas. Prosecutors last week argued that the burly, 320-pound defensive tackle had as many as 17 drinks that night of the crash. Brent’s attorneys argued the blood tests used by police were faulty and that Brent could not have drank nearly that much. Attorney George Milner said his client was “guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car,” not drinking beforehand. Brent retired from the NFL last year, but his ties to the Cowboys were prominent at trial. Two current players, Barry Church and Danny McCray, testified about hanging out with Brent and Brown, first playing video games, then having dinner and going to Privae, a Dallas nightclub. Sean Lee, a Cowboys linebacker, attended part of the trial to show support for Brent, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said this week that he was closely watching for a verdict. “Certainly it’s tragic. We’ve all, to some degree, have been a part of this,” Jones said on Tuesday, according to the Cowboys’ website. “We support Josh. This has been just a terrible experience for the families who lost a loved one and for Josh who loved Jerry as well.” Jurors saw video of Brent appearing to hold

bottles of Champagne in each hand and credit-card receipts that showed Brent had purchased three bottles. They also saw police dash cam footage of Brent losing his balance during field sobriety tests and occasionally stumbling over his words while talking to officers. It was, in the words of prosecutors Jason Hermus and Heath Harris, a textbook case of intoxication manslaughter. The prosecutors told jurors in their closing argument that they should send a message about the danger posed by drunken drivers. Hermus stood in front of Brent, hit the table and shouted: ”They shouldn’t be driving, no exceptions, no excuses!” Prosecutors have indicated they will push for jail time for Brent. His conviction comes just after weeks of fierce debate about a North Texas teen, Ethan Couch, who received probation for intoxication manslaughter after a wreck that left four people dead. Couch’s case, and the so-called “affluenza” defense his attorneys employed, became the subject of fierce, widespread scrutiny. Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins has attended parts of Brent’s trial and whispered in prosecutors’ ears during the questioning of one witness. Watkins told a sports radio station last year that prosecutors had the responsibility to make sure Brent “loses his freedom.”

TERRY’S TIME

Sophomore WVU guard Terry Henderson celebrates after the Mountaineers defeated Texas Tech Wednesday night inside the Coliseum.

WVU could be set up for historic season

CORY DOBSON/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia ends three-game skid, defeats Texas Tech 87-81 Wednesday evening by greg madia multimedia editor @DAILYATHENAEUM

Sophomore guard Terry Henderson scored a career-high 28 points to lead West Virginia to a 87-81 win over Texas Tech at the WVU Coliseum Wednesday Night. Twenty of Henderson’s 28 points came in the second half. Henderson hit two 3-pointers and a field goal consecutively to open up the half, giving WVU an eight-point lead out of the locker room. “In warm-ups, I really felt like it could be one of those nights,” Henderson said. “I just went out there played with confidence and played the game I

knew I could play.” Though WVU had an early second-half lead, Texas Tech continued to battle. Dusty Hannahs matched Henderson shot for shot to pull the Red Raiders within striking distance. “(Hannahs) was talking to me during the game, and kept asking ‘Are we going to have a shootout?’ but I wasn’t trying to communicate with him because I knew we had to win this game,” Henderson said. Throughout the game, Hannahs hit eight of nine shots from the field and all seven attempts from beyond the arc, giving him 25 points on the night. He even hit back-to-back

3-pointers around the 12-minute mark, including one from about 25 feet away. That cut the WVU lead to 59-57. “He’s a great shooter, too. He got a lot better from (2013) and when guys are shooting like that, you want to match them,” Henderson said. “It’s hard to do that, but you have to stay focused, run the offense and make sure you get good shots.” Then in the back-andforth shot display, Harris matched Hannahs with a 3 of his own and an old fashioned 3-point play. From there, West Virginia never looked back. “Terry’s (Henderson) a great kid, and he wants to do right,” said WVU head

coach Bob Huggins. “He wants to do right by the team, and I’d be lying if I told you he’d go 10-for-13 and get 28 (points), but I did think he played well.” Junior guard Juwan Staten scored 16 points, and Eron Harris added 15 points in the win. As a team, WVU shot 54 percent from the field, 55 percent from 3-point land and 86 percent from the foul line. To open the game, West Virginia started shooting efficiently. The Mountaineers hit their first six 3-point attempts, doubling up the Red Raiders 20-10 in the first seven minutes of the game. Texas Tech quickly regained composure to stay

in the game with West Virginia. Coming off the bench, Hannahs sparked a 16-0 run by Texas Tech. He scored 11 points during that stretch, hitting three shots from beyond the arc and adding three more from the field. After Tech took a 26-20 lead, WVU battled to keep the game close. Freshman forward Devin Williams scored six points in the final five minutes of the half as WVU entered the locker room, leading the Red Raiders, 40-39. West Virginia (11-8, 3-3 Big 12) takes on Oklahoma State while Texas Tech (10-9, 2-4 Big 12) will battle Oklahoma Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Henderson’s career night sparks WVU win by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Led by sophomore shooting guard Terry Henderson, the West Virginia men’s basketball team earned a big victory over Big 12 Conference foe Texas Tech, 87-81. Following a two-point, 1-8 shooting night Saturday against Kansas State, Henderson responded Wednesday night with a career-high 28 points on 5-6 shooting from 3-point range. He led all scorers in the game and was one of four Mountaineer players to score in double digits. Henderson averages 12.5 points per game on 46.5 percent shooting this season. “I have confidence. We came ready to play,” Henderson said. “I had a bad performance down at Kansas State, so I just wanted to respond and have a great game.” Wednesday’s game was a huge victory for WVU,

as it marks the final game before a tough stretch including powerhouses Oklahoma State, Baylor and Kansas on the road. At 3-3, WVU is 2.5 games back of the Jayhawks for the conference lead. “We needed this win,” Henderson said. “I just did what I could to help our team win.” WVU head coach Bob Huggins reiterated what the Mountaineers needed out of Henderson Wednesday evening. “ Te r r y ’s a g re a t kid,” Huggins said. “(He) wants to do right. I’d be lying if I told you he’d (shoot) 10-for-13 and score 28 (points), but I knew he would (respond well from the Kansas State game).” WVU’s front court came up big in the victory, as Juwan Staten, Eron Harris, Gary Browne and Henderson combined to score 65 points. The Mountaineers shot 55 percent (11-20) from 3-point range, with the majority coming early in the first half.

Henderson also came up big on defense, as the Mountaineers came away with four steals and six blocks. The Mountaineers shot 48.9 percent for the game. “We had the same shots we had against Texas and Kansas State,” Huggins said. “Terry had really good looks and didn’t make them. That’s the problem with relying on jump shots. We tried to get the other guys in, but we couldn’t get the ball around the perimeter.” The Red Raiders fell to 10-9 and 2-4 in conference play. “You just hope your routine pregame shots can translate over to the game,” Henderson said. “I tried to get down in the lane, and (Texas Tech players) stripped me. I need to get the defense moving more. I tried to fix that more in the second half. I just wanted to go out there, do my job and get the win.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

For the first time in the 2013-14 season, the West Virginia women’s basketball team has found a home inside the AP Top 25 poll. The No. 18 Mountaineers have won six of their first seven contests inside the ultra-competitive Big 12 conference. Currently sitting at 172, WVU is off to its best start since 2011. That team started 19-1, the best in school history. The early success begs the question: is this year’s team heading down the path to best in school history? West Virginia had its best week in a long time as the Mountaineers beat No. 11 Iowa State Jan. 15 in Ames, Iowa, before returning home to Morgantown and knocking off the preseason Big 12 favorite in Oklahoma Saturday. The team’s other quality wins include No. 10 Oklahoma State, Duquense, Virginia and three victories in Hawaii in as many days. Throughout 18 games, West Virginia has four players averaging in the double figures. The leader, of course, is sophomore Bria Holmes at 13.9 per night. WVU has added something this year head coach Mike Carey hasn’t seen in the past. The Mountaineers’ depth has become a killer inside the league. Even veteran Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said last week the high level of play from the starters, combined with the helping hand of the bench, has become a problem for other teams to contain. That 2011 team went 13-3 inside the Coliseum. The 2009-10 squad went a perfect 17-0 inside the friendly confines. This year’s team has found success in some different locations, however. West Virginia is a very respectable 7-2 at home so far, but a combined 9-0 away from town. This is another pleasant change for Carey, whose team has gone 18-19 in road and neutral site games during the past three seasons. The Mountaineers now sit inside the Top 25 with no intention of slowing down. It’s been a fun ride so far, as the team has averaged almost 80 points per game. Is it possible these women can overtake the men in popularity? Winning is certainly helping, as attendance figures for home games has gone up with each of the past five games. As league play unfolds, if this great infusion of five seniors and several talented underclassmen can stay hot, it could be a special season that fans will remember for a long time with a banner or two for us all to adore. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers defeat Texas Tech 70-51 in Lubbock by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After 70-51 victory over Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, Wednesday night, the No. 18 West Virginia Women’s basketball team is now in sole possession of the No. 1 spot in the Big 12 Conference. With some help from Kansas taking down Baylor Sunday and additional help from Oklahoma, WVU head coach Mike Carey and his team own the Big 12 for the first time in program

history. “First of all, let me give Texas Tech credit. I knew they were going to play extremely hard here at home. They play hard. They ran a lot of good things and in my opinion (Amber) Battle is as good as any player in the Big 12, so give her a lot of credit also,” Carey said. “I thought Asya Bussie was the difference in the game. I don’t think they had an answer for Bussie.” Bussie finished her night just short of a double-double with 19 points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots all in 36

minutes, leading the Mountaineers in all categories. Senior guard Christal Caldwell was also important in Wednesday’s win. The senior dropped 10 points to make her the 29th player in program history and the 11th player under Carey to reach the 1,000-point milestone. The Lady Raiders were held without a field goal for 9:05 of the first half. With the game tied at 4-4, the Mountaineers used a 15-2 run to take a 13-point lead. Despite sending Texas Tech to the foul line 15

times in the opening half, WVU claimed a 34-24 lead at halftime. Head coach Candi Whitaker had her team play much more inspired basketball in the second half. The Lady Raiders improved their shooting, making 33.3 percent of their shots from beyond the arc and shot 78.9 from the charity stripe. Their improved performance help cut the double-digit deficit to nine points in the closing minutes. With just under five minutes to play, the Mountaineers responded with a 10-1 run, stretching the

lead back out to 18 to put them up 67-49 with only two minutes left to play. “We turned the ball over a lot more than we normally do today, so give them credit for that. Anytime you go on the road and get a 19-point win, we’re happy with that,” Carey said. Battle led her team in scoring with 19 points, including six points from the free throw line. Audrisa Harrison led Texas Tech in rebounds, grabbing five boards. The Mountaineers continue their long stay

in Texas as they prepare to take on the Texas Longhorns Saturday in Austin. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
