Vets honored with breakfast Morgantown honors by courtney Gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Early Tuesday morning at the Erickson Alumni Center, several veterans, military personnel and family members were able to start their Veterans Day right, with the “Honoring Our Heroes” Veterans Appreciation Breakfast.

A veteran intently listens to Shawn Cosner’s speech.

Cosner spoke to a room full of active military members as well as veterans Tuesday morning at the Erickson Alumni Center during an appreciation breakfast.

Sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and in partnership with The Division of Human Resources, Army ROTC, Air Force ROTC and the Division of Student Life, WVU paid tribute to veterans by offering them a breakfast, several speakers and an enormous amount of gratitude.

“World War I, The Great War, the war to end all wars- it shook the nations of the world for four years, claiming 20 million lives. The Armistice was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and since then, the nations have commemorated that event with a moment of silence,” said Jack Bowman, a former civilian aide to the secretary of the Army for West Virginia and former Captain in the Judge Advocate Generals Corps. “The day is observed around the world and has many names; Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, The Day of Peace, and here in America, Veterans Day.” Many veterans, families and members of the military were in attendance for this breakfast. Veterans of all ages, ranks and branches showed up for the same cause. Student veterans, World War II veterans and everyone in between came together to remember and honor the people that fight or have fought for the United States of America.

“We call this a holiday, but for many veterans it is another day of memories,” Bowman said. “For our troops, it is another day in harm’s way. For their families, it’s another day to feel the absence of a loved one, concerned for their safety. For our wounded warriors, it’s another day of slow and arduous recovery. And for others, it is another day where the grief of loss remains fresh.”

The breakfast started with the presentation of Colors by WVU ROTC Air Force and Army Cadets, the singing of the national anthem, a reciting of a military prayer, and a Prisoners of War and Missing in Action tribute given by Steven M. Clark, lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, and a few words by West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee.

“Many people have sacrificed. Sacrificed in terms of lives, in terms of treasure, in terms of service,” Gee said. “This sacrifice, I think, has been an inevitable part of the American Dream. The veterans who are here today do not call themselves heroes, but I call this a celebration of heroes.”

And a celebration of heroes it was.

Three speakers spoke at the ceremony, one of whom was the keynote speaker, April Min, the associate vice president at Legal Affairs and general counsel for WVU. Min also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, where she performed as a member of the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps.

She explained to the audience “honoring heroes” does not mean what people often assume it means.

Min said although the wounded and fallen warriors are heroes, there are many more than just them.

“All veterans share this, they were all willing to do something that very few are. It takes courage to leave your family and enlist in the military service.

It takes a special kind of courage and commitment and sacrifice to put others before yourself in service of your country,” Min said. “It takes dedication and perseverance and sacrifice to serve, no matter what role in which you serve. No matter what you did in the military, you served, you sacrificed, you are a hero.”

The other speakers, Dorian O’Neal, U.S. Navy, and Shawn Cosner, U.S. Army veteran, are students at WVU. They were able the share their personal stories and beliefs on this matter.

Cosner explained he was touched by the event and extremely honored to be given the chance to speak during it.

He said he has had many members of his family enlisted in the military and this day means a lot to all of them.

“When taps was played and the colors were brought by, I cried,” Cosner said. “I get emotional when thinking about everything that was given so we can be free. For one day, the entire country is forced to think about it. Although some do not

Salzman stresses importance of clean water by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

More than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water.

James Salzman, a professor of law and environmental policy at Duke University, visited West Virginia University’s College of Law to discuss the history of drinking water supply and safety.

His presentation was based on his book, “Drinking Water: A History.”

In the presentation, Salzman discussed legislation in countries which declare safe drinking water a public right. An example of this is the Cochabamba Declaration in Bolivia. A counter example of this includes the historic Dublin Declaration which declared drinking water a commodity.

The question of whether safe drinking water is a public right or a commodity was the main topic of Salzman’s discussion.

Salzman heavily discussed the history of drinking water and how from ancient times, it was considered a blessing from the gods. Safe drinking water was considered something that was supposed to be free for all during this time. This notion was then reversed by Ancient Roman Emperor Augustus who used public water projects as a way to make political statements.

The focus of the presentation eventually shifted to present-day issues of drinking water.

“Providing safe drinking water is still very much a challenge today,” Salzman said.

Issues of cholera and other diseases associ-

ated with a lack of sanitary drinking water are just some of the challenges.

Such diseases were presented by Salzman in historical context and then carried over to widespread diseases prevalent in developing countries today.

“Our notions on safety are made on our knowledge of disease,” Salzman said.

Salzman elaborated on the fact that safe drinking water is a scarce resource.

“Take everything you know about drinking water, go to a developing country, and reverse it,” Salzman said.

According to Salzman, even in fully developed countries such as the United States, roughly 4080 percent of the water we drink is comprised of synthetic compounds. However, Salzman declared he has the utmost faith in U.S. sanitary systems, and that our drinking water is not detrimental to one’s health.

In fact, Salzman said drinking water from the faucet, in most cases, is safer than drinking bottled water.

Many WVU students attended Salzman’s presentation as well as the Q&A session that followed.

“I thought it was pretty good. He gave a lot of good information and facts,” said freshman Paige Kile.

Salzman is an honors graduate of Yale College and Harvard University. He was the first Harvard graduate to earn joint degrees in law and engineering and has twice been voted Professor of the Year by students at Duke’s School of Environment.

Stigmas of mental health, war veterans

Alaska counts ballots that will decide Senate race

Festival of Ideas speaker, Stuart C. Yudofsky, M.D. is Distinguished Service Professor and Chairman, and holds the Beth K. and Stuart C. Yudofsky Presidential Chair in

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Dan Sullivan was maintaining his lead over Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race Tuesday as election workers began counting absentee ballots.

Sullivan held an advantage of nearly 8,100 votes as the counting continued Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, election workers started tabulating about 50,000 absentee, questioned and early-voted ballots from last week’s election. The counting was expected to continue later this week.

News reporters and observers affiliated with candidates or political parties watched as election workers opened ballots, reviewed those in which voters’ qualifications were questioned, and tallied votes in election centers in Juneau and other parts of the state.

Sullivan had extended his lead by several hundred votes Tuesday before falling back to an edge comparable

The Festival of Ideas hosted a renowned neuropsychiatrist for Veterans Day, Stuart Yudofsky, who spoke on issues of mental illness among war veterans including stigmas surrounding mental health issues, and what he suggested may advance our culture’s understanding and treatment of these problems.

Yudofsky is a Distinguished Service Professor and Chairman who holds the Beth K. and Stuart C. Yudofsky Presidential Chair in Neuropsychiatry in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of the Baylor College of Medicine.

His research and clinical practice focus is in two areas: psycho-pharmacology and neuropsychiatry.

Yudofsky began his presentation by shedding light on the invisible wounds of our war veterans, or rather the psychiatric consequences of traumatic brain injuries.

“Approximately 20 percent of new veterans of the Iraq

to the one he held on election night.

But Begich is no stranger to come-from-behind wins.

In 2008, Republican Sen. Ted Stevens led Begich by about 3,000 votes in a race Begich won about two weeks later by fewer than 4,000 votes.

The dynamics of that race were different, however, with the election coming days after a jury found Stevens guilty in a federal corruption trial. The case was later tossed out by a judge, prompting many Republicans to believe Begich’s win was a fluke.

Republicans in Alaska, as in other states, made this race a referendum on President Barack Obama and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid. Obama lost in Alaska by wide margins in 2008 and 2012.

Republicans have said Sullivan’s lead is insurmountable. But Begich has said every vote should be counted — a point his campaign spokesman, Max Croes, reiterated Tuesday.

by corey mcdonald correspondent @dailyathenaeuM

War, one in five, have experienced traumatic brain injury,” Yudofsky said. “Yet fewer than 50 percent of those suffering from those injuries receive adequate treatment. This is written by the veterans themselves: almost one in three worry about the effect of a mental health diagnosis on their careers in the military or in jobs thereafter.”

Yudofsky accredits this unfortunate trend to a stigma that has attached itself to mental health in our society.

He goes on in his presentation to quote Bob McDonald, the secretary of the Veterans Administration.

“Mental health care is a problem in this country,” McDonald said. “Insurance reimbursements are low for mental health, and there’s a stigma in our society about mental health.”

Yudofsky went on to say that, “stigma is an attempt to label a particular group of people as less worthy of respect. Nearly two thirds of people with diagnosable mental illness do not seek treatment. Why?” Yudofsky then presented a brief history of the understanding of mental illness,

presenting opinions on the topic by religious philosophies throughout our human existence and mentioning names such as Plato and Hippocrates.

Although many philosophers seemed to tap into the understanding of the controversy, history has not been kind to the issue of mental illness, exhibiting an ignorance to its origins, Yudofsky believes.

“The history of the concept of mental illness is the history of stigma,” Yudofsky said. “Mental illness meant you were evil and you were bad, which helps us try to understand why veterans won’t seek psychiatric care.

They have a strong historical basis to feel the way they feel.”

Yudofsky then proceeded to explain why he believes these stigmas exist: flawed concepts in the field.

“It’s just wrong. You have psychiatry getting into affective thought and behavior, and you have neurology getting into sensory and motor funtions, but most of the patients fall in between and they don’t get help or care,” Yudofsky said. “When someone has a brain injury in Af-

ghanistan or Iraq, a neurologist won’t see them, and they don’t want to see a psychiatrist. We must make fundamental changes.”

Yudofsky also discussed the issue of neurologists and psychiatrists not knowing as much as they should about mental illness and the brain.

“Neurologists don’t know enough about psychiatry or mental illnesses, and psychiatrists don’t know enough about the brain, and we don’t do well with our patients because they all fall in between,” he said.

Yudofsky reached the climax of his presentation when he unveiled his solution to the problem.

“Psychiatry and Neurology must be combined into a single new specialty,” he said. “We have to re-brand to that new specialty: Clinical Neuroscience.”

Yudofsky emphasized that specialists in the field cannot separate the brain.

“These are flawed concepts and they lead to stigmas,” Yudofsky said. “They separate mind and brain; spirirt and body; functional and organic.”

BREAKFAST

he reached out to some people in the audience. He explained in order to have certain freedoms, there are duties that must be fulfilled.

“We are given so many freedoms in this country that sometimes we forget what the actual cost of those freedoms are. I am very fortunate to be raised and brought up by so many

great role models,” Cosner said. “It allowed me to understand what is required.”

It is clear that many people appreciated WVU as it recognized people such as Cosner, Min, and Bowman, and honored them the way they believe true heroes should be honored.

“The veterans have given their all. For me personally, it’s very humbling to see people who have really taken time out of their life to serve the country to really preserve our liberties and our freedom,” Byer said.

“This is what it’s all about: making sure our country remains free and that we have a quality of life that is sustained.”

People of all ages seemed to enjoy themselves at the parade, including children.

“It’s a lot of spirit and everyone was really happy and all the kids looked really happy to be there,” said Korynn Rasmussen, a West

Stewart’s ‘Rosewater’ covers Auctioning lost love events surrounding Iran’s elections letters of Monroe

ianwhite.com

Comedian Jon Stewart makes his directorial debut with ‘Rosewater.’

NEW YORK (AP) — A bleary-eyed Jon Stewart is sitting outside his offices reflecting on his directorial debut, “Rosewater,” a drama about the unjust imprisonment of journalist Maziar Bahari in Iran.

It’s the morning after “The Daily Show” broadcast live for the midterm elections, including a sketch that reported from the campaign headquarters of the night’s big winner - Money, as played by a hard-partying Rob Riggle - and the desolate base of the night’s loser, Ideas.

Humor, Stewart says, is an “amoeba-like substance” that can grow in even the harshest of conditions, like life at the bottom of the ocean.

“It may be grotesque and absurd life. It may be a fish with a crab growing out of its head that lights up like a LiteBrite,” says Stewart. “But it’s there.”

For 16 years on “The Daily Show,” Stewart has found comedy by wading through the muck of TV news, partisan politics and some horrific current events. “Rosewater” may seem like a story far afield from the satire practiced on the “The Daily Show,” but Stewart was drawn to the true tale by Bahari’s levity in recounting his 118 days imprisoned and tor-

tured after reporting on Iran’s 2009 elections.

In his memoir, “Then They Came for Me,” Bahari (played

by Gael Garcia Bernal in the film) relates an uncommon sympathy for his interrogator, recognizing the absurdity of an authoritative regime that would so desperately fear his opinions. In a film about preserving one’s sanity in an insane system, the moment of triumph is a joyful, overflowing laugh.

“It’s a process that I need to use for myself,” says Stewart. “That’s the way I process events.”

“Rosewater” is a subtle mission statement of Stewart’s worldview, one where humor is an essential tool for disarming the powerful, for claiming one’s humanity.

“Certainty is the enemy of humor,” says Stewart. “Authoritative regimes are nothing if not certain and dogmatic. One of the things about (‘The Daily Show’) is a lack of certainty. It really is confusion being worked out through whatever silliness we’ve thrown out there.”

Stewart was connected to Bahari because he appeared in a segment by “Daily Show” correspondent Jason Jones, filmed in Iran. (The footage was later treated as evidence that Bahari was a spy.) After Bahari was released, a friend-

ship developed between him and Stewart.

Stewart offered to help Bahari get his book adapted into a film, but when four months went by without interest, an impatient Stewart wrote the script himself. He would meet Bahari at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast to go over notes, and write in the evening after taping “The Daily Show” and putting his two kids to bed.

“I basically did what we do here: I threw a bunch of cards up on the board and I structured it,” says Stewart of his first stab at screenwriting.

Stewart shot the film last summer in Jordan while on hiatus from “The Daily Show.” In extreme heat, working with a largely international cast and with a small budget, the novice director summoned naturalistic performances from his actors.

“Once you’ve survived doing stand-up at a Fuddruckers outside of Rochester, Jordan is much more luxurious,” says Stewart.

Returning to “The Daily Show,” he moved the film’s editor into a coat room at the show’s offices. In between work on the show, he ran and up and down floors to sneak in editing sessions.

“There were definitely moments where I thought, `OK, you always wondered just

how far you can push this.

Well, now you know,’” says Stewart.

But the results are impressive, particularly for a firsttime filmmaker. Stewart, said The New York Times, “turns out to be a real filmmaker.”

“Who knew?” says Steve Carell, the former “Daily Show” correspondent. “I had no idea he was a filmmaker, and he is. Right out of the block, he has a voice and a style.”

Part of what makes “Rosewater” unique is its resistance to Hollywood-izing Bahari’s tale. Just as Stewart - ever a champion of nuance - laments the media’s penchant for exaggeration, he recoiled at making “a onedimensional, victim-versusmonster torture-porn movie.”

“There’s an infrastructure of torture that is officious, business-like, absurd, Kafkaesque,” says Stewart. “Violence is there, but there is a much broader context that it all lives in.”

Bahari, who now lives in London, says he and Stewart share a resentment of those who believe they have “a monopoly on truth.”

“It’s futile to regard a government or a person as a monster or evil,” says Bahari.

“There’s no evil or monster.

There’s just human beings in bad systems.”

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

(AP) — It’s no secret Joe DiMaggio loved Marilyn Monroe. The baseball great cried at her funeral and for 20 years had flowers placed at her crypt several times a week.

The public displays were unusual for the famously stoic and private DiMaggio. Now, his heartbreak over the breakup of their marriage will get a rare public airing when “Marilyn Monroe’s Lost Archives” goes up for bid at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills next month.

“I love you and want to be with you,” DiMaggio said in one pained letter to Monroe from the collection, written when she announced she was filing for divorce after a matter of months in 1954.

“There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me.”

The 300 items also include love letters from Monroe’s third and final husband, playwright Arthur Miller. There’s also a handwritten letter from Monroe to Miller in which the woman who was arguably Hollywood’s greatest sex symbol muses about her many insecurities.

DiMaggio wrote in his letter that he learned Monroe was leaving him when he saw her make the announcement on television.

“My heart split even wider seeing you cry in front of all these people,” he wrote in the letter addressed to “Mrs. Joe DiMaggio” and mailed special delivery.

Other letters in the collection come from such friends as Clark Gable, Cary Grant and Jane Russell, the latter imploring Monroe in 10 neatly handwritten pages to give her marriage to DiMaggio another chance.

“It really gives you the chills when you read some of the stuff and see the intimacy and the personal nature of it,” said auction curator Martin Nolan, who spent nine months organizing and cataloging the collection.

Auction owner Darren Julien estimates the pieces could fetch $1 million or more, noting a watercolor Monroe painted and planned to give to President John Kennedy went for $80,000 at an estate auction nine years ago.

Monroe’s “collectability” has skyrocketed in recent years, driven in part by deep-pocketed Asian and European collectors with a fondness for American pop-culture artifacts, he said.

The fact that the cen-

terpiece of this collection is not just celebrity tchotchkes but deeply personal artifacts is also expected to fuel interest.

“We anticipate a lot of fans will be here. They’ll fly in from all over the world,” said Julien, who will put the items on display to the public at his Beverly Hills gallery for four days before they go on the block Dec. 5-6.

Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962, willed “The Lost Archives” to her mentor, the legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg. He gave it to a friend he trusted would take proper care.

That friend’s family, which Julien said wants to remain anonymous, obviously met Strasberg’s expectations. Many of the letters look as pristine as the day their authors wrote them.

“Please, if I’ve ever made you cry or made you even more sadder, ever for a second, please forgive me, my perfect girl. I love you,” Miller wrote in a pencil-scribbled P.S. at the bottom of a typewritten letter.

In a reply to one of his missives, Monroe takes issue with what the author of “Death of a Salesman” had called her nobility in handling a difficult childhood followed by public adulation that nearly crushed her.

“In other words, there was no choice to make, the same road was always before me,” she wrote. “So for you to speak of my nobility, it really wasn’t so noble.”

She went on to say: “It’s doubly difficult to understand that you, the most different, most beautiful human being, chose me to love.”

Other items in the collection include a 19-minute reel of a movie made for Monroe after her final picture, 1961’s “The Misfits,” wrapped. It shows her frolicking happily at the beach with co-star Gable and others.

Notably, there’s also a framed letter she kept on her coffee table from costume designer Cecil Beaton, who assured her she really was a fine actress.

“It’s fantastic to see how loved she was,” Nolan said. “Like you thought she was vulnerable and not loved and she craved love and she needed that reassurance. But she had it. She had it with Joe DiMaggio. She had it with Arthur Miller.”

And, so it seems, she still has it with much of the rest of the world.

‘The Homesman’ has potential but ultimately comes up short “There’s been some trouble about the women hereabouts,” says John Lithgow’s plains preacher in Tommy Lee Jones’ “The Homesman.”

The hereabouts is a tiny, hardscrabble settlement in the Nebraska Territory, sometime around 1860. On the desolate prairie, a handful of hardened settlers try to eek something out of the dry land.

Going West never looked like more a questionable decision.

The directional movement of “The Homesman,” however, is east. When three of the town’s women (Miranda Otto, Grace Gummer and Sonja Richter) lose their minds, it’s decided that they must be taken to a church in Iowa, across the Missouri River.

Each driven mad - one by child-killing diphtheria, another by the constant rape of a cruel husband, all by the acrid isolation - they’re the seldom seen victims of the male pioneers usually glorified in Westerns, collateral damage to an ill-conceived Manifest Destiny.

The town’s men (Jesse Plemons, William Fitchner, David Dencik) aren’t up for the monthlong journey by wagon, so the task falls on the sturdiest resident, Mary Bee Cutty (Hilary Swank). She lives

Ill advised: Prioritizing scheduling Planning for your next semester can add to the already heavy, end-of-semester stress.

You wake up early on your scheduling date and are ready to set your perfectly planned schedule in stone. You log into Star and type in the CRNs for all of the courses you want to have for the upcoming spring. You press enter, and all you see is red.

Maybe you have a hold, maybe a class is already full or maybe a class time was changed and it no longer fits. Whatever the reason, it has ruined your entire day.

West Virginia University students are required to make advising appointments each semester, just to avoid these exact issues.

So what is the problem?

The Daily Athenaeum believes the problem is the

lack of attention given to advising for students.

Many times, in many departments, there just isn’t enough manpower helping students schedule their classes. Students run into a problem when scheduling and immediately panic, stricken with fear the classes they need will be full.

These panicked students take to email, phone and foot to hunt down an adviser or someone that can help fix the problem. However, there isn’t enough help to go around.

More attention also needs to be spent making sure there are enough essential classes to fulfill the needs of students. A requirement for graduation in most majors is a capstone. A recent problem students have had is not

eberly.wvu.edu

having enough open seats in capstone courses for all of the students who need them. This affects graduating on time.

Many students do not have the time or money to spend another semester in school, nor should they

have to. Students should be able to complete their degree on time if they have done everything right up until the last semester, and the University should help enable them to do so.

If the University were to invest more money into

resources to help students schedule, then more likely than not, these problems would not arise.

Another common problem with scheduling and advising is not knowing where to go, or who to talk to. For many departments,

advisers may change from year-to-year or even each semester. While this is understandable, because of the lack of manpower, it is hard on both students and current advisers.

Having more faculty whose jobs are directly dedicated to advising and helping students schedule would alleviate pressure on everyone involved.

While the University makes and receives a lot of money, we as students have very little say in where this money goes.

However, we believe it is very important for this money to benefit students, making their time here the best it can be. Students are the heart and soul of WVU and their needs should be top priority when it comes to spending. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Taking care of ourselves, self-diagnosis in college hannah chenoweth columnist @dailyathenaeum

When you’re a kid, it’s your parent who freaks out when a health problem flares up, whether you have a weird bite or an allergic reaction.

As a kid, you’re typically not concerned because the adults are busy worrying for you. It’s more of a free pass from a day or two of school.

Then you grow up and go to college.

You get to college and are left with a lot to figure out.

Getting sick in college is an experience completely different and far more unsettling than when you are at home.

First of all, deciding whether to go to Student Health is a debacle in itself.

You don’t want to spend your very limited budget on a co-pay simply to have a doctor tell you to go home and take it easy.

Even getting to Student Health is a hassle. Between classes, work and all the stuff we have to do in a day, you have to make an appointment and then find a way to get there. For those of us who are without a car, this means relying on the PRT. Add to this equation a little bad weather, and the last thing you want to do is make this journey.

Once you’re prescribed medication, you have to find a way to get to the phar-

macy. Then you shell out even more money. You find yourself debating to ask the pharmacist if you’re allowed to drink on the medication.

Ugh, I can’t take antibiotics now, Saint Patty’s is coming up, the football game is this weekend or I have to drink for my friend’s boyfriend’s birthday!

This hesitation to go to Student Health leads to you turning to your own resources, otherwise known as your roommates.

This motley crew takes turns examining you, trying to get a look at your symptoms under good lighting.

Pictures are snapped and sent to their individual parents and everyone has a different prescription for you.

“Take an oatmeal bath.”

“You need to go to Urgent Care right away.”

“Just take some Benadryl and take it easy.”

Taking it easy would be nice if you could actually miss a full day and not have it ruin your life. You need an actual doctor’s note to get an excused absence, but that won’t stop your group from thinking you’re making up the so-called sickness.

If it’s a skin thing, you are told that stress will only make it worse and to just not think about it. In reality, what’s stressing you out is that your normallyclear skin is covered in angry hives for seemingly no reason.

You end up scouring the Internet for help, which

isvmag.com

leads to a full-blown panic attack. Suddenly your mildseeming abdominal cramp is the onset of a vicious virus or aggressive disease. It’s incurable. You’ve waited too long already. Horror stories pop up from all angles, and WebMD is the one to inform you of your sad fate.

So, you lie in bed agonizing and thinking about ev-

ery miniscule out-of-ordinary thing you did to bring this upon yourself. Was it the Chinese buffet that looked questionable but you went for anyway? Was it the new detergent? Could you be reacting to that stray kitten you petted the other day on High Street but should have steered clear of?

Whenever you start to get

sick, you realize how much you took your health for granted. You never appreciated being able to breathe normally, or when your limbs worked correctly, or whatever it is.

You start thinking of how happy you will be to simply be back to your fully human and functioning self. Promises are made to the Lord to

be ultra-productive when your health returns.

This, my friends, is what it’s like to be under the weather in college. It’s a roller coaster ride that subsides after a few days (hopefully), but it makes you appreciate home like nothing else. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Fixing what is broken: How focusing on men could be the key to feminism jake jarvis managing editor @jakejarviswvu

Feminism is a polarizing topic. This year, and in the past few months, we’ve had people “come out” of the patriarchal closet as feminists and many others disown the phrase.

It’s hard to ignore the facts: Feminism is dying. There are plenty of extremely active, young, bright-eyed misandric people ready to take up the fight.

As many new-comers as there are, there are twice as many naysayers abandoning the cause.

And it’s all because we’re ignoring men.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard the phrase “be a man.” I was six years old and I just asked my younger girl cousin if I could be the mother when we played house.

We played house nearly every afternoon and I was always the father. In truth, I just wanted to wear the purple apron she always wore.

When I put it on, I had no intentions of rebelling against the expected gender performance I had hanging heavy over my head.

DA

I just wanted to wear the purple apron.

My aunt seemed to be amused at my actions but my uncle reacted drastically different. He stiffened, became red in the face and started asking me many questions. Even at that young age, I knew he was angry with me.

Boy, he sure would be disappointed in the years to come.

My experience with masculinity (or perhaps lack thereof ), gender expression and identity is directly influenced by my sexuality. As a gay man, I’ve often struggled with how to perform while bearing the weight of these two identities.

Like my childhood interaction with my uncle, interacting with other men has presented challenges.

Many male bonding events, such as bachelor parties, sporting events or just a male gathering, are charged with sexuality.

I don’t have to be straight to know that talking about

sex is a bonding experience for men, regardless of their sexuality.

But this presents a challenge: How does a male feminist reconcile the need to connect with a man without contributing to years of patriarchal oppression?

Why do men, myself included, talk about their sexual conquests so much? For

than losing - it’s not playing the game.

Some have suggested creating a space for men and women to interact equittably, an all-out free for all is needed, i.e. dropping all gendered behaviors and markers.

Sinclair Sexsmith, in “A Manifesto for Radical Masculinity,” examines this.

“Radical masculinity is straight women with cropped hair and tool belts marrying men, not apologizing, not taking lesbian jokes personally,” the author writes.

The point, though completely valid, is entirely impractical. We perform gender to fit in with a group of people. And that feels good.

I like feeling like a man by wearing traditionally masculine clothes, assuming a role of leadership and going to the men’s bathroom. Masculinity, from my experience is defined by the expectations society has on us rather than how we meet those standards.

Most men, myself in-

where men are valued “ Inmorea world than women, the stakes are

high. To appear male is to win; to appear female is to lose; to appear as neither is worse than losing - it’s not playing the game.

”

men who try and appear so solid (sexually, financially, emotionally, etc…), it seems contradictory to need to have their sexuality constantly reaffirmed.

Still, men engage in daily affirmations of their sexuality, gender identity and by default their worth as a human being.

In a world where men are valued more than women, the stakes are high. To appear male is to win; to appear female is to lose; to appear as neither is worse

cluded, like having expectations placed on us, but only when we meet those expectations.

Society’s views of masculine is directly tied to power. Its commonplace to hear people telling men to “take charge.” And in sexual encounters, men are often given permission to act dominantly where they otherwise might not.

Men are forced to grapple with femininity and the post-modern BDSM fetishizing and “Fifty Shades of Grey” obsessed society. How can a man be a good lover and be a good feminist?

It’s empowering to “give” yourself to someone else.

Saying, “Yes, you can do what you like to me,” is perhaps one of the most intimate things a person can experience.

By now, you’re probably feeling uncomfortable. But these are questions many feminists have. When we ignore these questions, we shut men out.

I like to consider myself a radical feminist. I dream of overthrowing the patriarchy, ending rape culture, all genders having access to appropriate health care and a world where children can wear the purple apron if

they like.

To achieve this, feminism needs to focus on gender autonomy. How we experience our gender identity and perform it should be completely autonomous.

I am not sure if we’ll ever see a world where this is true, though.

Gender, particularly maleness, is directly tied to one’s relation to others.

Feminism’s focus on women, though merited, might not be the best allocation of resources.

It almost seems to be more work and contradictory to attempt and heal the woman’s psyche when the root of the problem, the patriarchal oppression, could be mended.

If a person breaks a bone, a doctor mends the broken bone. In the meantime, the patient would be prescribed a medication to ease their pain. In this same manner, society should work to not just ease the pain of an oppressed woman but remove the oppression.

And it doesn’t have to be large, institutionalized systems of healing masculinity. It starts as simply as letting a boy wear the purple apron. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

YES SHE IS

Melissa Etheridge heads to Morgantown for concert by chelsea Walker a&e Writer @dailyathenaeum

Tough girl and classic rocker Melissa Etheridge is expected to have students jamming to her raspy ballads at the Creative Arts Center tonight.

“Melissa’s iconic voice and profound lyrics combined with her riveting stage presence made her one of the most popular recording artists of the ‘90s,” said Kristie StewartGale, the marketing and advising manager for WVU Arts and Entertainment.

The award-winning musician started her music career at age 8, taking guitar lessons and writing music in her family’s basement. By age 12, Etheridge began playing with local musicians at hometown bars.

“I learned very early on that I could write truths,” Etheridge told CNN in an interview. “I could write about sadness or anger, where I couldn’t actually speak it.”

In 1979, Etheridge left her home in Leavenworth, Kan., and moved to Boston, where she studied for one year at Berklee College of Music. After moving to the west coast, Etheridge’s music career took off.

In 1986, she landed a gig with Island Records and recorded her underground hit single “Bring Me Some Water,” which was nominated for a Grammy. By 1989, Etheridge released her first album, “Brave and Crazy,” which failed to top the charts, forcing her to hit the road.

Performing in venues across the country, Etheridge’s long sets, high energy and heartfelt verses established her devoted fan base. Admiration from fans sparked Etheridge’s “Yes I Am” album, with two giant hits such

as “I’m the Only One” and the Grammy-winning tune “Come to My Window.”

Etheridge’s rugged exterior and hesitation to disclose her sexuality to fans has set her up to be one of the most inspiring women in classic rock. Breaking her silence in 1993, Etheridge came out to fans. Etheridge’s personal struggles did not stop there, however. While on tour in 2004, Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I found in myself my own spiritual journey, which the experience of cancer had opened up for me,” Etheridge said in an interview with A Woman’s Health.

With her cancer now in remission, Etheridge uses her experience to empower and encourage women to take control of their health. Now taking to the microphone, Etheridge’s personal battles and triumphs shine through in her music.

Etheridge’s newest album, “This is M.E.”, which was released Sept. 30, combines her original raspy vibrato with a modern rock and R&B twist. Her single “Take My Number” shows a more heartfelt side of Etheridge.

“With sing-along choruses that sprout up consistently, Etheridge is mostly pushing her tough-girl roots into new territory,” according to part of the new album’s description on iTunes.

WVU is Etheridge’s next stop on her This is M.E. tour.

“Her hits continue to captivate listeners,” Stewart-Gale said.

“We’re excited to have her in Morgantown to celebrate her new album.”

Alexander Cardinale is set to open for Etheridge, performing songs from his EPs “Traffic Lights” and “Sick of Dreaming.” Cardinale’s newest single, “Made for You,” fits right with Etheridge’s aesthetic. The singer-songwriter from Monterey, Calif., captivates listeners by pairing bluesy lyrics with acoustic undertones.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Lyell B. Clay Theatre of the CAC. Although nearly sold out, students have the opportunity to be discounted $30-$50 per ticket. Tickets can still be found at campus box offices and through ticketmaster.com.

Lee Bidgood to present documentary exploring Americana music Jillian Clemente A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

American culture spreads to all parts of the world through music, and Lee Bidgood decided to focus on country music in the Czech Republic.

“I thought it was interesting,” said Bidgood, a professor at East Tennessee State University. “I heard about bluegrass music and things happening to it in the Czech Republic.”

He received a grant and went out there to do his research. The travelling bug first bit him when he was a child and saw his father work internationally.

“My father works in the medical field,” Bidgood said. “He focuses on developing medical images and data and was working to help healthcare providers provide care around the world.”

This helped give Bidgood a worldly perspective and focus on the international workings of the world. The bluegrass nchumanities.org aspect of his research also Lee Bidgood specializes in Americana music and plays fiddle, mandolin and more. came from his childhood,

Not yet time to give up on WVU

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said Monday his team had officially gotten rid of Saturday’s 33-16 loss to Texas.

“It’s all about the next day and getting it over with,” Holgorsen said. “We met (Sunday) and got rid of the game. We’ve made corrections and we’ve made adjustments, and then gave them the schedule moving forward and told them the good news is that we get to play some more games in the very near future.”

Even though the Mountaineers may have put the game behind them, it’s hard for WVU fans to do the same. After knocking off then- No. 4 Baylor and hosting ESPN’s College GameDay in possibly one of the biggest home showdowns in school history, West Virginia (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) will now most likely be fighting for a spot in a relevant bowl game.

“It’s all motivation. I thought we had a good week of practice. I thought our guys would be excited to be able to play in a venue like the University of Texas against obviously a very good opponent in the University of Texas,” Holgorsen said.

“We just didn’t have the pop that we had in most of the other games.”

Even though most WVU fans are dreaming about what could have been, had the Mountaineers taken care of business at home against TCU and then handled Texas like many assumed they would, it’s important to keep in mind how exciting this season has been compared to last season, as well as the tailend of the 2012 season.

West Virginia has been a part of more high-profile, exciting games this year than my entire time at WVU, and it’s my fifth year in Morgantown.

The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta against then-No. 2 Alabama to start the season, a monster home game under the lights against thenNo. 4 Oklahoma, the dismantling of Baylor and a thriller at home against TCU were some of the best WVU games I’ve witnessed as a college student.

I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather see the Mountaineers play quality teams on the big stage and lose a thriller than go back to playing a cupcake Big East schedule and dominating every week – much like No. 21 Marshall is currently doing in Conference USA. With a bye week this week and two conference games remaining, West Virginia still has a chance to prove to its fan base that it’s trending in the right direction. A win over Kansas State at home next Thursday night and a road win over pesky Iowa State would prove that the Mountaineers can hack it in the Big 12, if they haven’t already.

“We’ve been going hard at it for six straight weeks and been in some very, very close, tight ball games for six straight weeks,” Holgorsen said. “(The bye week) gives us a little bit of a breather and not have to rush to get prepared for a Thursday night game.”

WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen upbeat about putting two-straight losses behind him by anthony pecoraro sports editor @pecorarowvunews

As West Virginia enters its second bye week of the season, the vibe surrounding this Mountaineer squad has gone downhill after suffering its first back-to-back losses of the season to then-No. 7 TCU and Texas, respectively.

With the opportunity of winning the Big 12 seeming feasible a couple of weeks ago – as the momentum was fully in West Virginia’s ballpark, while riding a four-game win streak – all of that talk has since ended.

Now, with the Mountaineers (6-4, 4-3 Big 12)

said during the Texas game, the typical flare and energy seen out from his squad just wasn’t there.

“We just didn’t have the pop that we had in most of the other games,” he said.

Holgorsen said he views his squad as a resilient group of players and believes the past two losses will not carry over into the Mountaineers’ 11th game of the season.

“I think kids are a little bit more resilient then you think they are,” he said.

“It’s all about the next day and getting it over with. We met (Sunday), and we got rid of the game.

“We’ve made corrections and we’ve made adjustments, and then gave

them the schedule moving forward and told them the good news is that we get to play some more games in the very near future.”

Although Holgorsen said he typically does not care for Thursday night games due to having a shortened week to prepare for an opponent. With a bye week prior to the K-State game, he said he is excited for his team to play under the lights at Milan Puskar Stadium for the final time this season.

“Both us and Kansas State have a bye week this week, then a short week next week. That allows you to be able to get your guys to regroup and get your guys healed up a little bit

and not have to deal with the short week,” he said.

“So, we can use this week, and we can start preparing for Kansas State.”

In addition to beginning to prepare for Kansas State a week earlier than usual, Holgorsen said his players, who haven’t had a bye week since late September will get some useful rest.

“We can give our guys a little bit more time off than they normally get, especially this time of the year, you need to be able to do that. We’ve been going hard at it for six straight weeks and been in some very, very close, tight ball games for six straight weeks.” apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

New faces surrounding WVU entering season by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia will rely on many new faces this season. One player who is expected to make an impact is freshman guard Daxter Miles.

Miles, originally from Baltimore, chose West Virginia just three days after graduating from Dunbar High School. Ever since he hit the scene, head coach Bob Huggins has noticed his enthusiasm to play.

“Daxter Miles has kind of just put himself into the lineup,” Huggins said prior to the exhibition. “I haven’t said a word, and I’ll say, ‘Give me five guys,’ and he’s always in the five.

having to wait nearly an extra week to take the field again, in hopes of shaking off their losses, against No. 13 Kansas State (7-2, 5-1 Big 12), WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said staying on a consistent schedule over the course of the next week and a half will be key to have his team ready for the Wildcats at home. “(We try) to keep the same schedule each and every week, and trying not to focus too much on winning games or trying not to focus too much on losing games,” Holgorsen said.

Keeping the same schedule will be key to keeping the players’ minds away from their most recent mentality, as Holgorsen

WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen upset during the Texas game Saturday.

@dailyathenaeum

I guess he’s decided he’s going to start, and I guess (his teammates) decided to let him.”

Last week’s exhibition game was the first time Miles felt the “game-like atmosphere” in the WVU Coliseum.

Miles started the game against Shepherd last week. He took the very first shot of the game and nearly hit nothing but air.

“At first, to be honest, I was a little nervous,” Miles said. “Who wouldn’t get nervous? (It’s) your first impression in front of the crowd. I took the first shot and even though it hit the rim a little, I knew I was going to be okay.”

Miles finished the game with nine points, but Hug-

gins has seen far better from his freshman guard.

“That’s the worst he’s been,” Huggins said. “He’s played much, much better than that. He didn’t shoot as well as he’s been shooting it. He wasn’t as active as what he’s been.”

Despite the criticism following the exhibition, Huggins is very excited about what Miles can bring to the table.

“He’s got great athleticism,” Huggins said. “He’s made plays in practice that he’s capable of making. On a good day, he deserves to start. That’s if we feel like he is doing what he needs to be doing on the court.”

Huggins’ legacy played a role in why Miles chose

to come to West Virginia.

Miles said he knew what to expect when he signed up to be part of a Huggins coached team.

“He was a big influence,” Miles said. “When I watched Bob at Cincinnati he had those scrappy guards, even the bigs; it was hustle and (they) had a chip on their shoulders.

So when I watched the film of him, I knew what kind of coach he was.”

“I don’t want to play for a coach that’s not going to be on you. Plus, he’s one of the greats, you can’t argue with that. He knows what he’s talking about.”

Looking ahead, Miles sees himself playing a bigtime role in helping this team succeed.

“(I’m) a guy who can make my teammates better (and) score the ball,” Miles said. “I’m a freshman. I’m going to go in line with the older guys.

We’re just trying to go all the way.”

Miles is just one of the ingredients in Huggins’ recipe this season. Huggins will rely on other new guards such as junior college transfers, BillyDee Williams, Jaysean Paige and Tarik Phillip.

Despite the new faces, Miles remains confident in the team’s ability to perform at a high level.

“I feel really good about this team,” he said. “The sky’s the limit.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Mountaineers plan to use bye week for rest, move on from loss by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After close losses to then-No. 2 Alabama and then-No. 4 Oklahoma during the first four weeks of the season, West Virginia’s coaching staff applauded the players’ effort and performance in both games.

After a seemingly deflating 31-30 loss to TCU Nov. 1, head coach Dana Holgorsen said the same effort wasn’t there against Texas Saturday.

“It was pretty evident that (Texas) was ready to

play more than we were ready to play,” Holgorsen said. “The mindset that this team has done a good job with – effort, energy, excitement, flying around, having fun playing the game. It existed in the first nine games.

“It didn’t exist in this one.”

Holgorsen said his team’s lack of energy and effort could’ve been due in part to the lingering effects from the loss to TCU, or traveling over 1,400 miles to Austin, Texas to play an unranked Longhorns team.

It could’ve also been due

to the fact that the Mountaineers have played six straight conference games after their first bye week in Week 5. After once again falling just shy of an upset of what then appeared to be a very good Oklahoma team, West Virginia was given a chance to catch its breath and proceeded to reel off four consecutive wins to close out October.

However, the 2-2 West Virginia team that entered its bye week in Week 5 had all the confidence in the world after showing it could compete with the nation’s best. This

team faces a different set of challenges.

Holgorsen said there’s probably about 17 players who have played a significant amount of snaps during both the season and the stretch since the last bye week, and they will have time to rest.

“We have five offensive linemen who have played about 900 snaps.

We (have) a linebacker and three safeties in Kwit (linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski), K.J. (Dillon), (junior safety) Karl (Joseph) and Dravon (Henry) (who) have all played about 800

snaps,” Holgorsen said.

This week’s bye week comes at an opportune time for West Virginia. With Kansas State, who travels to Morgantown on Nov. 20 for a Thursday night matchup, also having a bye this week, it gives the Mountaineers time for much needed rest, and perhaps time to clear their heads.

West Virginia’s hopes at a Big 12 title were derailed

by TCU, and it would be safe to say the Mountaineers may have still been a bit numb from Saturday in Austin.

Whatever the case may

be, West Virginia will have no excuse for coming out the same way it did against Texas after the bye week.

Although Holgorsen said next week will be a short week, the time off should give the Mountaineers plenty of time to game plan and reevaluate what this team wants to accomplish this season.

Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder will surely have his team ready to play when the Wildcats step foot onto Mountaineer Field next week. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU faces No. 4 Texas, 0-5 series since joining Big 12 by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team is taking on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns tonight in Austin, Texas.

Since 2012 when WVU entered the Big 12, Texas has led the series 5-0. The teams met earlier this season in a match in which the Mountaineers reached a milestone of taking sets one and two, before dropping the next three.

The Mountaineers will face Texas on the road, who are coming off three straight wins including one over No. 16 Kansas State Friday.

tournament,” said junior Hannah Sackett. “Also, seeing Oklahoma beat them in three (sets), we almost upset them ourselves here. I think the mindset we have going into every practice beforehand and the game itself is that this game is completely doable and this team is beatable.”

Winning out these last five games for the Mountaineers might be the key to get them into the NCAA Tournament in three weeks, but Texas has always given them a challenge.

Haley Eckerman continues to lead the Longhorns with 184 kills and in terms of hitting percentage, Texas leads the Big 12 averaging .290 this season.

Sophomore Jordan Anderson is still on top of the conference with individual kills, she has 419, averaging .238. Anderson has hit below 10 kills in the past two games, a streak she had kept alive since Nov. 2013.

West Virginia has gone 4-6 on the road this season, winning at Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU. “I like our chances. I think every team has its vulnerabilities and it’s just about us executing and sticking together, playing with a lot of fight,” Kramer said.

The match against Texas is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST tonight. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looking for new identity without Harris, Henderson by david schlake

associate sports editor @dschlake_WVU

Basketball fans in West Virginia can expect this year’s season to look much different than the last. With seven new faces making their debut for the Mountaineers on Sunday against Shepherd University, it’s hard to imagine much will look the same.

Hoping to have the same impact as he did a year ago is senior guard Juwan Staten, who has been named Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year. Staten led the team in essentially every line of the stat sheet last season, averaging 18.1 points per game, racking up 41 steals, commanding 193 assists and draining 40 percent of his shots from behind the arc. The only player with a higher 3-point shooting percentage was then-sophomore guard Eron Harris.

That’s the fear WVU fans can’t shake – the fear that no one will replace Staten’s two wingmen who loved to sink the 3-pointer.

Following the conclusion of West Virginia’s 2013-14 basketball season, both Harris and thensophomore guard Terry Henderson left WVU’s basketball program. Harris transferred to Michigan State University, and Henderson transferred to North Carolina State University.

Many Mountaineer fans could see the light at the end of the tunnel with the three returning, the tunnel

being the consistent decline for the WVU basketball program since reaching the Final Four in 2010.

However, the Mountaineers, who didn’t have a single senior last season, will still return several familiar names from last year that could have a more significant impact.

Sophomore forward and Morgantown native Nathan Adrian, senior guard Gary Browne, sophomore forwards Devin Williams and Brandon Watkins will all be expected to take bigger roles.

With two forwards that have reasonable size and a year under their belts, we could see a Mountaineer team that reflects the style of past teams coached under Bob Huggins. Even though West Virginia relied on Staten moving the ball, and Harris and Henderson draining the three, Watkins and Williams could compliment Staten more this year than before, and we could see a more rebound-centric and hardnosed kind of play.

Huggins has seemed to take a liking to freshman guard Daxter Miles Jr., stating the team likes him as a potential starter.

Another recruit that has generated some talk is junior BillyDee Williams, a transfer from South Plains Community College (Texas). He shot nearly 40 percent from behind the arc, giving Huggins a reason to view him as a possible replacement for Harris or Henderson.

But, both he and Miles

Plane crash survivor Hatch sinks 1st college shot ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – A Michigan freshman who survived two plane crashes that killed his parents and siblings scored the first point of his college career in the Wolverines’ 86-43 exhibition victory Monday night over Wayne State University.

Austin Hatch, 20, missed the first of two free throws before sinking the second shot with 12 seconds re-

maining in Ann Arbor.

Hatch’s teammates and coach John Beilein hugged him afterward.

“Coach B told me with about five minutes left in the game, ‘Austin, stay loose, and we are going to get you in there,’ so I did my best to stay loose and when he called my number I was ready,” Hatch said. “Fortunately, I went in there and had an oppor-

tunity to make a foul shot.

It was pretty special.”

The 6-foot-6 Hatch spent eight weeks in a coma with a traumatic brain injury after a 2011 crash that killed his father and stepmother.

The single-engine Beechcraft A36 Bonanza flew into a garage near Charlevoix Municipal Airport in northern Michigan.

A 2003 crash killed his mother, brother and sis-

ter. His father, Dr. Stephen Hatch, was the pilot both times.

Austin Hatch verbally committed to Michigan 10 days before the 2011 crash.

Beilein had said the school would honor Hatch’s scholarship.

“I don’t want to be known by the time my career comes to an end here as just ‘a cool story,’” said Hatch, who grew up in

UConn’s Geno Auriemma not close to retirement

ap

UConn women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma does not have any intentions on retiring soon.

College Basketball (AP) – Geno Auriemma is beginning his 30th season in charge of Connecticut and doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon.

“There comes a point and time when you have to say it’s someone else’s turn,” Auriemma said.

“Whether it be at UConn or USA basketball. I try not to think in terms of this is when the time’s going to be.”

Auriemma said he and UConn athletic director Warde Manuel have discussed having an openended contract once his current deal that pays him more than $2 million an-

nually runs out in 2018.

“As long as I have an effect on players and as long as our staff keeps recruiting the type of player I love to coach, who knows,” Auriemma added. “Once that pipeline dries up and I coach players I don’t really want to coach. That’s the first step to retirement.”

One thing the 60-yearold coach does know is that he won’t make a comeback once he’s gone.

“When it ends, I’m done,” he said. “There’s no coming back, there’s no coming out of retirement or any of that stuff. You got to make sure the timing is right. Don’t walk away and

think I should have stayed a little longer. Don’t stay beyond when you’re effective. When that time will be, I don’t know.”

His first 29 years at Connecticut have been simply unmatched by any coach in the sport. He’s guided the school to a record nine national championships, all in the past 20 years.

He should pass 900 victories this season. His winning percentage (.869) is only decimal points behind Leon Barmore for the best all-time. It’s even greater since the first title with the Huskies winning nearly 93 percent of their games.

He could also catch John Wooden’s vaunted total of 10 national championships if the Huskies win a third straight title this April.

To the Hall of Fame coach, though those are just numbers, impressive numbers, but not ones that define him.

“I’ve never been about that,” Auriemma said. “You can’t compare what we’re doing to what (Wooden) did at UCLA. It’s two different eras and two different sports in a sense.”

Even with all of Auriemma’s success – add in two world championships and an Olympic gold medal with the U.S. national team

– he’s still pretty much the same person who came to Storrs, Connecticut, in 1985.

“He really hasn’t changed much since the first day I met him,” said Sue Bird, who starred at UConn in the early 2000s and then played for Auriemma on the U.S. national team for the past six years. “That’s the way coach is. He’s more concerned about getting you to be your best.”

Reigning AP player of the year Breanna Stewart is the latest in a long line of great players to come to UConn and play for Auriemma. She admitted it

took her a little while to understand when she was a freshman that he wasn’t just picking on her. He was trying to get her to reach her enormous potential.

“It took some time to get used to it,” Stewart said. “He was hard on me in practice and then it all finally clicked that he was trying to get the most out of me.”

It’s the same method he used with Rebecca Lobo, Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Maya Moore and now Stewart.

And will probably be the same he uses up until the day he does decide to retire, whenever that is.

For Heat’s Pat Riley, every day is Veterans Day MIAMI (AP) – Pat Riley celebrates Veterans Day more than once a year.

Last week, the president of the Miami Heat helped America’s Moms For Soldiers make care packages for troops who’ll be overseas for the holidays. On Tuesday, he helped refurbish homes of two former U.S. Army soldiers.

When the Heat host to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, the “Home Strong” program he founded will pay tribute to 11 soldiers at the game and more around the world.

Riley never served in the military, but has spoken out for years about the need to help soldiers who served overseas. The Heat took their training camp to a pair of military bases in Florida’s Panhandle in 2010. Riley said the team may look into doing something similar in the future.

“I think it’s a day of recognition,” Riley said of Veterans Day. “They don’t want it. They don’t seek it. I don’t think they even expect it.

But when they get it, I think they’re very grateful for that.

We’re just glad to be part of it.”

On Tuesday, the Heat helped make improvements to the Miami-area homes of Army veterans Matthew James and Willie Franklin.

James was the victim of an armed robbery in front of his home in 2008, and the injuries from that robbery forced him to leave his job.

Franklin, a World War II veteran, is dealing with health problems.

“I don’t think we can ever do enough for these veterans,” Riley said.

At every home Heat game since 2006, the team has honored a soldier who returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. On Wednesday,

Miami will honor 10 U.S. Army staff sergeants and the national anthem to be performed by U.S. Army Sergeant Corrin Campbell.

There will be a live, pregame salute to the U.S. Army’s Florida-based 810th Military Police Company stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan.

NBA teams have been honoring troops for several days with Veterans Day celebrations, but Miami’s events are among the more elaborate.

“It’s just great to be part of it,” Riley said. “It’s part of who we are and the people who run it are sincere, very sincere about it and care about it. This year there still are many Americans who are displaced in places where they probably shouldn’t be – but they are because of how we as a country care about other people in other parts of the Miami Heat president Pat Riley speaking during a news conference. world.”

49ers linebacker Patrick Willis out for season SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis will miss the remainder of the season and require surgery for a strained muscle in his left big toe.

Willis was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list Tuesday for the injury suffered in the third quarter at St. Louis on Oct. 13.

A Pro Bowler all seven seasons in the NFL, Willis had missed six games in his career before this latest injury sidelined him for the final 10 games in 2014 for San Francisco (5-4). He had 34 tackles and an interception this season for the Niners.

Willis is a captain and leader of a 49ers team that has reached the NFC championship game in each of the past three seasons.

“We haven’t lost him in the locker room,” line-

backer Michael Wilhoite said. “We’re still all together here. It hurts but at same time we need to keep going out and win games.”

Willis had hoped the injury wasn’t so serious to sideline him long term. He missed practice last week after returning in a limited role the previous week.

After resting through the Oct. 26 bye, Willis was back as part of the 49ers’ full active squad on the field for the start of practice Oct. 29, but he had been limited primarily to individual work.

This is a big loss to one of the NFL’s leading defenses, though the 49ers are expected to have Aldon Smith back Sunday on the road against the New York Giants.

Smith is set to begin practicing this week after serving his nine-game suspension by the NFL for violations of the league’s substance-abuse and per-

sonal-conduct policies.

In addition, 2013 All-Pro NaVorro Bowman could be cleared to begin practice this week, opening a 21-day window for the team to activate him or place him on IR. Bowman is recovering from surgery on his left knee after he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in a devastating injury in the NFC championship game loss at Seattle last January.

Rookie Chris Borland has filled in for Willis and been spectacular, recording 18 tackles in a loss to the Rams two weeks ago then 17 more tackles in an overtime win at New Orleans on Sunday.

The NFL Network first reported Willis would need toe surgery.

The Niners signed running back Alfonso Smith to replace Willis on the roster and added linebacker Shayne Skov to the practice squad.
