The West Virginia University Chinese Students and Scholars Assocation and the Chinese Professional Association of West Virginia hosted a demonstration of authentic Chinese acrobatics in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. The Bureau of Lecturers, an organization that hosts educational shows throughout the U.S. and Canada, provided the CSSA with funding to help cover the acrobats’ travel expenses. “It’s always exciting. One goal as a student organization is to serve WVU and the city of Morgantown,” said Zhengjun Wang, CSSA president. “Also, we actually now are making friends with a lot of American people.”

With the help of the BOL , the CSSA and CPAWV were able to coordinate a show for Morgantown that blended Chinese culture with slapstick comedy. “They’re professional, and the average age is around 20, but they start around five or six years old,” Wang said. “After 10 years of performing, they can be on stage, so the job is very hard.” The show brought in more than 400 people. The four-person troupe delivered a performance that had most of the audience on their feet. Children laughed as one acrobat tripped another in the middle of an act. The two then began a back-and-forth sketch that captivated the en-

PRSSA hosts event to benefit Shriners hospital Madison Fleck & Courtney McDonald DA STAFF @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Public Relations Student Society of America teamed up with other student organizations Sunday for Beads 4 Needs, a fundraiser for Shriners Hospitals for Children. The fundraiser was started by 8-year-old Emily Mellish, who was born with spina bifida and sever scoliosis. Mellish undergoes frequent surgeries, and the bills are costly. In fact, just one of her surgeries cost $100,000. Her family has been assisted by Shriners Hospitals, an organization that works to relieve the financial stress from families. In return Mellish and her family wanted to give back to the organization and all the other families it helps.

At first, the family sold baked goods, but Mellish felt selling bracelets would be a more creative fundraiser. “It’s a hobby, and something I love to do,” she said. Mellish doesn’t let her disabilities hold her back. She is active in swimming, cheerleading and dance. She is even participating in an upcoming pageant. “In the last year and a half, Emily has raised $25,000,” said Taylor Richmond, a WVU admissions counselor and Shriners Board of Governors Assoction member. Many students came to support the event and help with donations to the hospital. Justin Click, a freshman political science student, said he attended the event because he thought it was a creative way to raise money. “I originally attended because I received an email

The West Virginia Western Equestrian Team hosted its home show Saturday at the Reedsville Farm. Six schools, including the University of Pittsburgh and Slippery Rock University, made up nine competitive classes of various riding levels. Hosting such a big show required teamwork from WVU’s students. Not only did the team put in hours of riding practice for the competition, but they prepared and brought in horses for riders, which were pro-

vided by the WVU Equine program. “We do pretty well all the time. We’re really lucky,” said Emily Allan, team captain of the WVU Equestrian Team. “We have really great kids. They come out, they go to their practices, they help out here. “If I said ‘Jump’ they’d all say, ‘How high?’ I’m really blessed to have a great team behind me.” Allan said the show was stressful, but it was only a precursor to the invitational the team will host in December. “This is nothing compared to what it will be, but it’s definitely good practice,” Allan said. “The preparation took

Just a lot of things to get ready for the day.” The hard work doesn’t stop once the show begins. Many of the team members are beginners, and Allan and Gerds were needed to help their competitors tack their horses and get dressed for the show. The team will host other schools at Reedsville Farm Dec. 8, including The Ohio State University and the University of

Gerds said she is excited, but said there will be challenges for the team when getting ready for the invitational. “Last year we held it and we came in under and didn’t make as much back as what we spent on it,” Gerds said. “That’s something we’re kind of concerned about – cutting back costs and where we can not spend as much.” For more information about the WVU Equestrian team, visit http://equestrian.studentorgs.wvu.edu or the WVU Equestrian Team on Facebook. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Tornadoes, damaging storms sweep across Midwest

Pat Whitaker, 82, sits under a blanket in her nightgown outside her home waiting for help to come in Gifford, Ill. on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013. Intense thunderstorms and tornadoes swept across the Midwest, causing extensive damage in several central Illinois communities while sending people to their basements for shelter. WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) — Dozens of tornadoes and intense thunderstorms swept across the Midwest on Sunday, causing extensive damage in several central Illinois communities, killing at least three people and prompting officials at Chicago’s Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and delay the Bears game. “The whole neighborhood’s gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house,” said Michael

Perdun, speaking by cellphone from the hard-hit town of Washington, where he said his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds. “I stepped outside and I heard it coming. My daughter was already in the basement, so I ran downstairs and grabbed her, crouched in the laundry room and all of a sudden I could see daylight up the stairway and my house was gone.”

An elderly man and his sister were killed when a tornado hit their home around noon in the rural community of New Minden, said Mark Styninger, the coroner of Washington County in southern Illinois. A third person died in Washington, said Melanie Arnold of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. She did not provide details. By mid-afternoon, with communications difficult

and many roads impassable, it remained unclear how many people were killed or hurt by the string of unusually strong late-season tornadoes. In a news release, the Illinois National Guard said it had dispatched 10 firefighters and three vehicles to Washington to assist with immediate search and recovery operations. “I went over there immediately after the tornado, walking through the neigh-

borhoods, and I couldn’t even tell what street I was on,” Washington Alderman Tyler Gee told WLS-TV. “Just completely flattened – some of the neighborhoods here in town, hundreds of homes.” Among those who lost his home was Curt Zehr, who said he was amazed at the speed with which the tornado turned his farmhouse outside Washington into a mass of rubble scattered

over hundreds of yards. His truck was sent flying and landed on a tree that had toppled over. “They heard the siren... and saw (the tornado) right there and got into the basement,” he said of his wife and adult son who were home at the time. Then, seconds later, when they looked out from their hiding place the house was gone and “the sun was out and right on top of them.”

ABC Family counts down to annual ‘25 days of Christmas’

www.wallpaperez.net

‘Fred Claus’ will be one of the movies shown during the ‘Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas.’

by carly smith a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

It’s time to deck the halls, put up the tree and grab a cup of hot cocoa, because ABC Family’s “Countdown to 25 Day of Christmas” begins Wednesday. The annual countdown is sure to get watchers into the holiday spirit early. “Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas” always begins shortly before Thanksgiving to serve as a transition

into the most wonderful time of the year. ABC Family began broadcasting the “25 Days of Christmas” in 1996, showing holiday specials and movies beginning Dec. 1 and continuing until Christmas Day. After the success ABC Family had with the “25 Days of Christmas” program, as well as the “13 Nights of Halloween” program, the network introduced the “Countdown to 25 Days Of Christ-

mas” in 2007 to begin the holiday spirit in late November. The countdown includes Christmas classics and fan favorites every night until the first of December when the “25 Days” officially begins. The countdown kicks off Wednesday with Disney and Pixar’s “Up” and “WALL-E” to get the feel good spirit of the holidays started. The countdown also features “The Princess and the Frog,” “Mulan,” “Ice Age” and the “Harry

Potter” series. The Christmas-related movies shown include “Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish,” “Fred Claus” and “Richie Rich.” The countdown will premiere ABC Family’s original holiday movie, “Christmas Bounty,” featuring WWE superstar Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” star, Francia Raisa. It will also feature the special, “Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown.” On the last day of the countdown,

the network television premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” will air after a marathon of the movie series. The official “25 Days of Christmas” includes even more Christmas movies and specials than the countdown. The Christmas classic “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” will kick off the “25 Days,” and the program will showcase different holiday movies and shows every

night. The weekend before Christmas will include a holiday movie marathon and holiday classics marathon to officially get you in the Christmas spirit. The full line up of the “Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas” and the “25 Days of Christmas” can be found on http://abcfamily. go.com/news/listing/25days-of-christmas/download-the-25-days-ofchristmas-schedule-now. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Box office: ‘Best Man’ nearly topples ‘Thor’ Review: ‘Link Between Worlds’ a ‘Zelda’ with depth NEW YORK (AP) — In an unlikely battle of sequels, “Thor: The Dark World” bested “The Best Man Holiday” at the box office. Disney’s “Thor: The Dark World” continued its box-office reign with $38.5 million in its second week of release, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening 15 years after the original “The Best Man,” Universal’s “The Best Man Holiday” opened strongly with $30.6 million. Drawing an overwhelmingly female and AfricanAmerican audience, “The Best Man Holiday” was a surprise challenger for the mighty “Thor.” The R-rated romantic comedy, with an ensemble cast including Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs, debuted with more than three times the box office of 1999’s “The Best Man.” That film opened with $9 million. The performance of Malcolm D. Lee’s “The Best Man Holiday” continued an ongoing trend. Movies that appeal particularly to black audiences have often been surpassing expectations at the box office. “It’s a familiar refrain, and it’s getting a little tired,” said Lee. “I thought we had a chance to do something special.” “Lee Daniels’ The But-

ler” led the box office for several weeks in August, leading to a cumulative total of $115.5 million domestically. The Oscar-contender “12 Years a Slave” has made $25 million in five weeks of limited release. Lee said that while black audiences “see everything” at the movies, from action movies to romantic comedies, he hopes broader audiences begin responding to socalled “black films.” The audience for “Best Man Holiday” was 87 percent African-American. Regardless, a third “Best Man” film now seems a likely bet. “If there is going to be a sequel, it won’t take 14 years,” granted Lee. Marvel’s Norse superhero, however, has been hammering audiences around the globe. “Thor: The Dark World” made $52.5 million internationally over the weekend, bringing its worldwide total to $479.8 million. With Chris Hemsworth as the title character and Tom Hiddleston as the popular villain Loki, the Thor franchise has proven to be one of Marvel’s most successful. Just as “Thor” approached the half-billion mark, Warner Bros.’

space adventure “Gravity” crossed it. In seven weeks of release, “Gravity” has made $514.9 million globally. “The Best Man Holiday” was the only new wide-release opening over the weekend, as the marketplace clears out for the release of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” In limited release, Alexander Payne’s blackand-white Midwest road trip “Nebraska” opened in four locations with a solid $35,000 per theater average for Paramount Pictures. Ma r t i n S c o r s e s e ’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” was originally slated to open, but was postponed to Dec. 25 by Paramount. Expected to be one of the year’s biggest debuts, Lionsgate’s “Catching Fire” will abruptly close the boxoffice window for “Thor” next weekend. “Catching Fire” opened in Brazil over the weekend, earning $6.3 million. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For nearly three decades, spikey-eared hero Link has captained a boat, mastered a magic flute and flown a giant bird in the name of rescuing Princess Zelda from dastardly foes. In his latest quest, he’s morphing into walls. That may sound like a flat development for the wholly untarnished “Legend of Zelda” franchise, but it’s as “aha!”-inspiring as previous installments. “The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds” ($39.99 for the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS) starts with a flamboyant villain named Yuga storming the fantastical kingdom of Hyrule and transforming the land’s Seven Sages, as well as Princess Zelda and Link, into 2-D illustrations. Luckily, it ain’t 1991 anymore, so Link isn’t only confined to the wall. He’s able to pop on and off at will. With his newfound ability, the blacksmith’s apprentice can slip into mountain sides and move across chasms or fling himself into castle walls to slip through tiny crevices. It’s a simple twist, one that opens up a breathtaking array of mind-bending spatial puzzles, the kind that captured the public’s imagination long before any candy-crushing sagas. The other major switch-

Jolie, Martin moved to tears at Governors Awards LOS ANGELES (AP) — Angelina Jolie, Steve Martin and Angela Lansbury were moved to tears at the film academy’s fifth annual Governors Awards. Each of the entertainers accepted honorary Oscar statuettes Saturday at a private dinner at the Hollywood & Highland Center. Italian costume designer Piero Tosi was also honored, but did not attend the ceremony. Jolie received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Before guests including Brad Pitt and a man Jolie cited as “my hero,” WWII veteran and Olympian Louis Zamperini, the 38-year-old actress-director became emotional as she thanked her late mother, whom she said inspired her to think of others and give back.

“To stand here today means I did as she asked,” Jolie said. “And if she were alive, she’d be very proud.” Tom Hanks and Martin Short helped present Martin with his honorary Oscar, which Short described as “the highest honor an actor can receive in mid-November.” Accepting recognition for his distinguished career, Martin said, “I can’t possibly express how I excited I am tonight, because the Botox is fresh.” But the 68-year-old got misty eyed as he reflected on the dear friends he’s made during his five decades in film. “I knew I wasn’t going to make it through this speech,” he said. “I read it to my dog this morning and wept.” Lansbury recited a list

of her famous co-stars as she accepted her honorary Academy Award: Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable, Lawrence Olivier and Orson Welles. With her two brothers, three children and three grandchildren in tow, the 88-year-old actress’ voice cracked as she thanked movies and acting for rescuing her after the death of her husband. She said sharing the Governors Awards ceremony with her family was better than “shivering with hope” during her three Oscar nominations, none of which resulted in statuettes. “You can’t imagine how happy and proud I feel, really undeserving of this gorgeous golden chap,” she said. The crowd inside the Ray Dolby Ballroom was like a

who’s-who of the upcoming awards season. Besides guests such as Diane Keaton, Octavia Spencer, Geoffrey Rush, Emma Thompson and Harrison Ford were stars of some of the year’s most acclaimed films, including Michael B. Jordan of “Fruitvale Station,” Idris Elba and Naomie Harris of “Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom,” Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong’o and director Steve McQueen of “12 Years a Slave,” Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto of “Dallas Buyers Club” and Amy Adams and director David O. Russell of “American Hustle.” The Governors Awards were not televised but portions of the ceremony may be included in the Academy Awards telecast on March 2, 2014.

eroo is that “A Link Between Worlds” is almost completely a nonlinear experience. The gear required to solve puzzles within the dungeons where the Seven Sages are held captive is available to either buy or rent from the outset. The catch with borrowing? If Link falls in battle, he’ll lose all rented items and must wcheck them out again at full price. Such small “Zelda” adjustments have a big impact on the game’s flow. The lack of handholding gives players the freedom to explore Hyrule (and its creepy sister, Lorule) in any order they choose. It also adds stwakes if gamers decide to take a chance, say, by renting a fire-spewing staff necessary for trekking through some icy ruins instead of merely purchasing it outright. For those who take the risk, they could save hundreds of Rupees. Over the past three years, there’s been several “Legend of Zelda” remakes, rereleases and anniversary

editions unleashed by Nintendo for the 3DS. None of those has been as captivating as “A Link Between Worlds,” an original “Legend of Zelda” epic created especially for the glassesfree 3DS. While the 3-D functionality of most 3DS games can be written off as gimmicky, a few platform-maneuvering, vertigo-inducing instances in “A Link Between Worlds” practically demands to be played beyond two dimensions. “Zelda” mastermind Eiji Aonuma and his development team have thoughtfully crafted a game that really should be experienced in 3-D. “A Link Between Worlds” is exactly what anyone could want out of a handheld “Zelda” adventure. That’s also its greatest deficiency. The game’s open 3-D world is a welcome – and much needed – change to the been-there-grabbedthat formula of past “Zelda” titles. There’s nothing all that unexpected about “A Link Between Worlds.”

Supporting sports beyond football The West Virginia Mountaineers lost their seventh football game of the season Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks. Just because our most popular sport is struggling this season doesn’t mean the rest of the teams are. The women’s soccer team – arguably the strongest West Virginia team in the Big 12 Conference – made their way into the Big 12 championships, with head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown at the helm. They are currently ranked No. 7 in the nation. The Lady Mountaineers have consistently had a strong season, winning game after game, and they won Saturday in the first NCAA game against Rutgers. The No. 3 rifle team just ended its fall season undefeated in nonconference matches and the Great

American Rifle Conference. They defeated No. 13 Navy Saturday in Maryland. The Mountaineers won in both smallbore and air rifle. This season the team lost Petra Zublasing, who went to the 2012 Olympics and returned to bring the West Virginia rifle team to a national title, as well. At the beginning of the 2013 season, the volleyball team started off strong. Unfortunately, they’ve started to lose confidence and their performance has suffered drastically. These are just a few of the WVU sports teams that are performing well but are getting little to no recognition from the student body. Students can attend any WVU sporting event for free, and most don’t require you to request tickets beforehand.

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Maren Predinger of the WVU Rifle teamcocks her rifle at the shooting range. The coaches and the players appreciate any and all support from the student body, because ultimately, the University and its community are who they are playing for. It’s important for you to

support your teams, not only to show school spirit but to show these teams they’re playing for something. A strong, enthusiastic fan base gives them the spirit and confidence they need to play harder, better and stronger.

If you’re looking for another team to root for, there’s less than three months until the WVU baseball team takes the diamond again. The first game will be in mid-February so be sure to keep an eye on The DA’s sports section

for updates. No matter how poorly one sports team seems to be doing, just remember: it’s always a good day to be a Mountaineer. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

op-ed commentary

Canadian mayor admits drug use, stays in office ryan van buren columnist

Our neighbors in Toronto have a bizarre case on their hands. Toronto’s mayor, Rob Ford, is facing harsh criticism from lawmakers who are pushing him to resign or enter drug rehab. This is the result of a viral video of Ford admitting he has smoked cocaine, drinks heavily on occasion and purchased illegal drugs in the past two years. During the debate, almost every council member asked Ford to take a leave of absence. “Together we stand to ask you to step aside and take a leave of absence,” said councilor Jaye Robinson. The same council voted 41-2 for the Mayor to step down, but he ultimately refused. Ford hasn’t addressed these allegations besides claiming the ordeal is “the most humiliating experience that I’ve gone through in my entire life.” He went on to add thathe’ll be in the position for another five years and he is not an addict of any sort. While Ford is feeling the wrath from his fellow council members, he has not been convicted of a crime. What is different from Toronto and some of the major cities in the United States is that Ford is just one voting member in

canadaawakes.blogspot.com

Toronto mayor Rob Ford, despite currently facing allegations of drug and alcohol abuse by the Toronto City Council, is refusing to step down. the council and his power comes directly from his own ability. His authority has diminished immensely from the drug scandal, which is a fate better than being removed from office for good.

“We really just have to build a box around the mayor so we can get work done,” said councilor John Filion. “We can’t tell him what to do. Only the electorate can tell him what to do.

Most of us that care have already spoken to the mayor or relayed it to the mayor’s family. I think that’s what’s needed. The rest is up to the electorate,” said councilor Giorgio Mammoliti, an outlying supporter of

Ford. This entire situation has left many flabbergasted and asking the question, “How does a mayor who smokes cocaine still represent an entire city?” I can only hope Ford

doesn’t bring his outside activities into the office. This is an extremely important time for Ford to regain the support of his lost supporters and fellow councilmen who are calling for his resignation. He must demonstrate a new professional attitude toward the power of his job and launch multiple public relation campaigns to help rebuild his reputation throughout Toronto and Canada. I think something we all need to at least appreciate from Mayor Ford is the fact he came out and admitted mistakes and is taking responsibility. It would be easy for a politician to run away from his past, as we’ve seen too often in our own country, but he knows he messed up, and you can’t start to gain the trust of the people unless they hear you say “I’m sorry.” I’m not saying the people of Toronto should forgive him, because they are entitled to their own opinion, but at least they can begin to move forward. This situation cannot be easy to live with, but when you make such childish and juvenile decisions, you’re going to deal with negative consequences. For the sake of Toronto they only want an honest, law abiding mayor, and I hope Mayor Ford can get his personal problems together and lead the city in the direction it needs. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Sexism reason behind girls losing self esteem in college kathryn wingfield university of oklahoma

Over the past couple of months, research has surfaced reporting girls are rapidly losing self-esteem in college. Female students who enter college as self-assured, ambitious individuals graduate with less confidence, feeling anxious, doubtful and depressed, and no one can figure out exactly why. As a female college student who is experiencing this firsthand, I’ll tell you. It’s because we’re being lied to. I started my college career as ambitious as a person could be. I had been a success in high school, gotten a jump start on my internship experience, and

would be entering school a year ahead in credits. I was headed to my dream school, and my goals of beginning a long career in journalism seemed closer than ever. I had been sold on my school’s state-ofthe-art media college and after a lifetime of people telling me I could be anything I wanted to be, I could not wait to get in there and make things happen. I was sure I could. It didn’t take long for me to realize things weren’t quite right. During my first finals week, my dorm halls hung bright posters exclaiming “Don’t worry if you fail your finals; just pray your future husband is passing his!” In my first real journalism writing class, I was told by one of my favorite professors that I should use my “girl charms” to get infor-

mation out of people. (He later told me I was the most likely to succeed student in the class.) To this day I still find myself in frustrated neartears when my ideas and thoughts are brushed aside and disregarded until a male student brings them up and they suddenly seem great. (I know there is a debate on whether or not this actually happens, but trust me, it actually happens.) The list continues, but those are fitting examples. These situations aren’t too bad on their own, but become a million times more disheartening when I consider they’re taking place against the backdrop of my dream school, a place that prides itself on helping me succeed. It’s made me wonder what exactly is considered to be “success” for students of the female

gender. Of course this doesn’t mean women are hopeless when it comes to college education and career ambition. We know we’re better than what our institutions often have to offer, and we make the most of what we have, because that’s what we’ve been raised to do: Be awesome. So then why, on such a massive scale, are we leaving our places of education feeling hopeless and anxious? Because it’s our first encounter with the real world. In high school, everyone is still figuring out who they are, so our view of big bad “society” is warped and clouded. When we enter college, however, we find ourselves as adults among adults, and we’re disheartened by what we see. We realize during these for-

mative years that “society” is just a bunch of grownup kids, and that even in the most sophisticated, elevated settings, we’re still subject to sexism, discrimination and bigotry just because we’re girls. College is when we realize that it’s never going to go away. At high-strung universities that claim to lead us to success, at the jobs we fought to earn and among the people we meet out in the ‘real world,” we’re always going to be seen to some degree as lesser than, forgotten, or simply betterintended for some other setting. There is no happy ending – as we were promised – where we hit the ground running, degree in hand, into a sunset full of fairness and equal opportunities. We have to make that world for ourselves.

Here’s the bottom line to counter this cynical picture: I know that when I do earn my dream job – without the need to use my “girl charms” in the process – and I do make myself heard and I do let every other girl out there know that she can do the same despite the extra BS hurdles we have to jump every step of the way – that success will give me more self-confidence than I would have had if the journey had gone any other way. We’re understandably losing self-esteem in college – but we’re going to get it back and we’re going to do the amazing things we set out to do when we began. We didn’t spend those four years learning how to feel bad ourselves and make sandwiches. We spent them learning how to succeed despite all odds.

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often might stray off topic and find that you are mentally distracted. Learn to eliminate distractions by handling the issue at hand. Many interesting and creative ideas emerge from your daydreaming; be sure to write them down. If you are single, romance remains a high priority. You are likely to see potential suitors only through rose-colored shades. If you are attached, use care with children, as they can be evasive at times. Your relationship benefits from sharing more with your sweetie. Develop a mutual hobby. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You will state your case or pursue a desire with intention. Those

around you could be a little confused by your words and actions. You might see doubt in their expressions, so try to understand where they are coming from. Tonight: Make calls and catch up on a friend’s news. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might feel a bit self-indulgent and go overboard. Listen to your instincts in a meeting or perhaps at a get-together with a friend. You will gain unexpected insights that could stop you in your tracks. Digest this perspective first, then act. Tonight: Run some errands. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You smile, and the world smiles with you. You have unusual insight into a friendship and its meaning. You can count on the unpredictability of this person, but you still will enjoy and value this bond. Tension builds

around a responsibility. Tonight: It is your call. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You might want to head in a more appealing direction. Do some testing first, and consider that you might not know the whole story. You also might not have a grasp on what could happen if you decide to follow an untried path. Tonight: Read between the lines with a boss. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Meetings will bring good results. A partner could be in disagreement, as he or she might not have heard all the details. Know that you can’t change this person’s mind. Detach and see what happens. You will learn a lot about him or her if you do. Tonight: Surf the Web. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH

Pressure builds and creates a lot of nervous energy. You might wonder what to do about a situation that demands your attention. Others do not realize how much you do, and they will continue to be unclear until you walk away. An offer comes your way. Tonight: Busy. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Detach. You might wonder which way to go with an important relationship. You and this person have wanted to plan a trip for a while, so get the ball rolling. The true reason for the trip might not be what you say or think. Be honest with yourself. Tonight: Make some calls. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Deal with others directly if you want to get a reasonable response. Stop wondering what might be best to do. Ask for feedback, encourage a brain-

storming situation and move forward only when you have enough information to make a sound decision. Tonight: Visit over dinner. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Defer to others, especially if you are not as sure of yourself as you normally are. Allow someone else who is more confident to take the lead, at least about the issue at hand. A child could be provocative yet endearing. You need to maintain a strong stance. Tonight: Say “yes.” CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might be more focused on an idea than you realize. Someone could drop a heavy book right by you, and you would not even hear it hit the floor. Try to be present in the moment, at least some of the time. Take a walk to center yourself. Tonight: The unexpected occurs.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Allow your creativity to emerge. Whether you decide to share some of your ideas will be up to you. Know that your intuition might be off about money. Avoid making agreements right now. An unusual phone call heads your way. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your intuition comes through regarding what you should do. You could feel as if some element of your life is out of control. You will make a strong presentation, but you might worry a lot about how you come off and the impression you make. Tonight: Head home.

Spa at The Waterfont Place Hotel hosts reopening

The Spa at The Waterfront Place Hotel celebrates its grand reopening event Thursday offering a variety of beauty services.

by stephanie messinger a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The Spa @ The Waterfront Hotel reopened Thursday with an open house celebration. The spa caught on fire last year, but is making a refreshing comeback. The soothing music and fresh aromas coming from their product line imme-

diately calms customers as they step through the door. During their open house they had door prizes and several packages for their facial massage line, a facial package and a body package. The spa’s fresh vibe was accompanied by a wine tasting and desserts from The Cupcakerie. The spa’s inspiration comes from the beauty

of West Virginia’s natural landscapes and its goal is to create an allnatural experience for customers. The Mountain State’s natural landscape and simplicity was captured throughout the spa. The staff gave a tour of all their service rooms, each filled with a special touch of relaxation. Even their facial products are marine based to provide

Five Finger Death Punch disappoints with new album josh ewers a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

««««« In the middle of the hordes of bands making up today’s radio rock scene, there are a few that manage to differentiate themselves from the pack. Bands like Avenged Sevenfold shine like a beacon of hope for those who remember a time when universally admired acts like Incubus and Red Hot Chili Peppers ruled the airwaves. The paradigm, however, has shifted to rap and country, forcing us to examine the artistic merits of another of today’s more popular rock acts: Five Finger Death Punch. Their newest effort, “The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2,” begins with “Here to Die.” This is a perfect example of a Five Finger Death Punch song because the guitars get the palm muting going early, creating a thrash sound with slick production but are later overshadowed by the negatives. The production might just be the most redeeming part of the album. The sounds are rich and thick but still machine tight. However, Ivan Moody’s

vocals as well as his lyrics far too often ruin any promise produced by the rhythm section and engineers. He retains his signature style on this release, sounding a bit like an autotuned incarnation of Slipknot and Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor. The straight-ahead driving feel of this album can be somewhat infectious at times, but it also quickly leads to stagnation. The second song, “Weight Beneath My Skin,” takes the thrash feel of the prior song and expands on it by adding a dancey beat underneath. Inevitably, it leads to another soaring sugary chorus that has Moody displaying his pipes. Admittedly, he does have a powerful voice, but it isn’t used in a wide enough variety of ways for it to retain its power throughout the course of the album. This is a band that is either uncreative during the writing process or they’ve found what they’re doing works and are sticking to the AC/DC strategy of rock music. Whether that’s a good thing or not depends on how you feel about somewhat sophomoric, pseudotough guy lyrics over chunky riffs. For instance if the lyrical passage “I’m a mother (expletive) wrecking ball” tickles your fancy, then this rehashed and compressed

iteration of Pantera might be for you. “Volume 2” isn’t without metal moments, but they are watered down and few and far between. “Cradle to the Grave” features spine rattling kick drum triplets, and the intro to “Matter of Time” conjures up some particularly vicious subdivided impacts. Another song that’s different enough to be noteworthy is the token ballad of the record. “Cold” starts out with a piano intro and never really matches the standard FFDP tempo and feel until guitarist Jason Hook starts soloing in at about the same point in the song that he does in seemingly every other one. All this similarity might be acceptable if they were content to limit their formula to their own music. However, the band just can’t seem to help stealing some of the world’s favorite classic rock songs right in the face with their own versions. Like “Bad Company” before it, the latest causality is The Animal’s “House of the Rising Sun.” In this cover, the location of New Orleans has been eschewed for “Sin City.” When it comes down to it, if you liked them before, you’ll like them now, and if you didn’t, you probably aren’t reading this anyway.

the customer with an allnatural look. “It’s relaxing, it’s peaceful, it’s fresh,” said Jeanne French, an esthetician at the spa. “I recommend all of it, and you can even buy a package and spend all day getting treated.” The spa offers a variety of services including massage, facial wax, manicures, pedicures and hair and makeup services.

There were five available stations during the open house, including facials, chair massages, makeup application and a consultation with product. “Any of the services with our product line everything being organic is really great,” said Danielle Prunty, an employee at the spa. “We are a completely natural spa and everything we have is an organic line.

I would recommend any of our services.” The staff and services are refreshing after dealing with the constant rush of Morgantown. For more information, like @ The Spa at the Waterfront Place Hotel for updates and promotions, or check online at http:”//waterfrontplacespa.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘AN ALL-TIME LOW’

MEL MORAEs/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen looks to the field in Saturday’s loss to Kansas in Lawrence, Kan.

WVU falls to Kansas 31-19, will not make bowl game for first time since 2001 By Connor Murray associate Sports Editor @CONNORKMURRAY

The last time the Kansas Jayhawks won a game against a current member of the Big 12, Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” was the top single in the U.S., gas prices averaged $2.57 a gallon, and President Obama had been in office for just nine months. The historic losing streak that started in October 2009 came to an end Saturday as the Jayhawks used a big day from senior running back James Sims to top West Virginia 31-19 at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan. “I really apologize to the 12 seniors. We got beat on all three sides of the ball. (We) got outcoached (and) got outplayed,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “This is different than the Big East. The days of just showing up and playing at a very marginal level, whether

its effort, execution, coaching or talent, you can’t show up and be average and win.” Sims rushed for a careerhigh 211 yards on 22 carries and added three touchdowns on the day. “We’ve stopped the run every week. It was very disappointing in the first half not to stop the run. The game is won and lost up front 90 percent of the time. Their O-line whipped us,” Holgorsen said. “Not to take anything away from Sims. He’s a good back. He’s one of their all-time leading rushers and has been a great player here for them over the last couple years.” After a six-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game West Virginia’s offense went silent as the Jayhawks dominated the flow of the game from that point on. “We went out there and started fast on offense and scored, then the defense went out there and just laid down. Defensively, we didn’t

play with very much energy,” Holgorsen said. “Our offense has relied on the defense the whole year, and when they saw the defense giving up points I think our offense got (shaken up). It was another losing performance from our offense which I take full responsibility for.” Quarterback Paul Millard finished 23-for-42 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He made one critical mistake, throwing an interception to linebacker Ben Goodman in the third quarter that gave Kansas the ball at the West Virginia 14-yard line. The Jayhawks converted when Sims took the ball into the end zone from two yards out to give Kansas a 24-7 lead. “We had the ball on the plus 40 and we couldn’t do anything. We managed a first down and then Paul threw a pick. (Kansas) sensed they could win and they out-exe-

cuted us, played harder and out-coached us,” Holgorsen said. With the loss, West Virginia’s record drops to 4-7, ensuring this will be the first time since 2001 the Mountaineers have not qualified for a bowl game. “I guess this would be an all-time low (for Holgorsen). Not to take anything away from Kansas, they’ve been close. Where do we go from here? I don’t know. I was planning on going to a bowl game. We’ve got to continue program development,”Holgorsen said. “Our program is not equipped right now to handle the wear and tear of the Big 12. I’m not blaming anymel moraes/the daily athenaeum thing on injuries. That’s just Kansas students celebrate on the field by taking down the goal post following the part of the game. Right now Jayhawks’ victory over West Virginia Saturday. we’re not where we need to be.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

ONE STEP CLOSER Women’s soccer defeats Rutgers, advances to second round of tournament by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 7 West Virginia University women’s soccer team defeated Rutgers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday night after senior goalkeeper Sara Keane’s penalty-kick shut out. Saturday marked only the second time all season West Virginia was held scoreless in regulation – the first being a 2-0 loss at then-No. 7 Texas Tech Oct. 27. The last three of Rutgers’ games came down to penalty kicks and Saturday night was no different, except Keane wasn’t about to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. “Our coaches did a great job scouting them,” Keane said. “Their last few games went into penalty kicks, so we sort of had an advantage there. I just trusted my gut.” For the first time since 2010, the Mountaineers advance to the round of 32 in front of a crowd of 1,610, the fifth-largest crowd ever at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. “One of the pieces when you get home-field advantage is getting a big crowd behind us,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “The crowd was unbelievable. I would love to take this opportunity to tell them. All of that gold and blue

The Mountaineers made the first three penalty kicks, and Keane deflected all three of Rutgers penalty kicks to give the Mountaineers the victory. WVU outshot Rutgers 2617 and earned a 9-7 advantage on shots on-goal. Izzo-Brown said after the thrilling victory her team’s

performance wasn’t the best she’s seen, but in the end they found a way to win, and that’s what matters to her. “I don’t think this was our best performance. It is an experience moving forward because we are so young. Great teams find a way to win these types of games,” Izzo-Brown said. Senior forward Frances Silva netted the Mountaineers’ first penalty kick, followed by freshman defender Kadeisha Buchanan, who put her team up 2-0. Junior defender Jess

Crowder’s penalty kick proved to be all the Mountaineers needed, as RU’s Jonelle Filigno sent the Scarlet Knights’ third penalty kick wide right. Keane made two saves on RU’s first attempts and forced Filigno to shoot wide. She finished the night in net with seven saves. WVU had several opportunities on-goal Saturday night but couldn’t get anything past the Scarlet Knights’ defense and goalkeeper Jessica Janosz. West Virginia’s best opportunity of the first half came in the 17th minute, when freshman forward Ashley Lawrence, sophomore forward Kelsie Maloney and sophomore midfielder Amanda Hill all took shots from inside the box, but the Rutgers defense held strong, blocking two away and forcing the third wide of the net. The Mountaineers controlled the ball for most of the first half, recording 16 shots to just five from Rutgers after the first 45 minutes, while also putting six shots on-goal to Rutgers’ three. The match went back and forth throughout the second half as both teams missed quality shots. Rutgers’ best opportunity came off a corner in the

West Virginia beats Duquesne, improves to 2-1 By Joe Mitchin sports writer @DAILY ATHENAEUM

Eron Harris’ career-high 33 points led the Mountaineers to a 96-83 victory over Duquesne Sunday at the WVU Coliseum. Harris bested his 25-point performance in 2012-13 against Baylor in the victory. The sophomore guard hit six 3-point shots and went 12-of-19 from the field. Harris also added six rebounds and an assist for the Mountaineers. “I’m going to just take it game by game,” Harris said. “I’m not even thinking about my points. I’m just attacking when I can attack and taking advantage of mismatches.” West Virginia shot 58.9 percent on the day – its best shooting performance yet this year. Senior guard Juwan Staten added a career-high 28 points and led the team with nine assists. The Mountaineers grabbed an early lead after two quick jumpers by freshman forward Devin Williams in the opening minutes.

WVU led by as many as 11 points in the first half, putting the Dukes in an 11-point hole at the 5-minute mark in the first half. Williams displayed his best performance yet Sunday night. The freshman Cincinnati native earned his first career double-double, scoring 18 points and ripping down 10 rebounds. “We know that (Williams) will continue to get better,” Staten said. “He’s not even scoring the ball inside like we know he can.” WVU led 49-43 at the half after Duquense’s Micah Mason converted on a fourpoint play with just a second left. The Dukes clawed their way back and didn’t go away for much of the contest. They tied the game on two occasions in the second half. West Virginia finally pulled away with less than five minutes remaining when Harris and sophomore Terry Henderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to extend WVU’s lead to 81-71. “I’m happy we won,” said head coach Bob Huggins.

“We had it going our way, but they cut it to six at half time. Then (Duquense) came out and make a little run to start the second half. I’ve seen that picture before. I don’t like it much.” Henderson had a leg injury that kept him out of the action in the first two games of the season. He played a season-high 27 minutes, scoring seven points Sunday. Duquesne fell to 1-2 for the 2013-14 season. The Dukes were led by center Ovie Soko, who scored 19 points and added 10 rebounds. Mason finished with 18 off the bench. Duquesne shot 45 percent from the field, but turned over the ball 16 times and committed 26 fouls. The Mountaineers return to the court Thursday when they host Georgia Southern at the WVU Coliseum at 7 p.m. For more information about the team or information about student ticketing, visit http://www.wvugame. com. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Volleyball sweeps Horned Frogs 3-0 by Jon fehrens sports writer @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia volleyball team’s offense returned to regular form against TCU Saturday afternoon. Head coach Jill Kramer’s team posted negative hitting clips in their previous two matches, but they responded by sweeping the Horned Frogs 3-0 (17-25, 25-27,20-25) in the WVU Coliseum. Saturday’s win makes the most wins in a single season since 2004 for the Mountaineers, who are now just one win shy of the most victories in a season since 1991. “The most important thing for me with this match is that it was a complete turnaround from Wednesday,” Kramer said. “Regardless of who we were playing, I wanted our group to get back on track. I can’t tell you enough how proud of them I am. They regrouped and took a lot of responsibility for what was going on, and fixed on, and fixed it.” The Mountaineers’ effort

Junior middle blocker Evyn McCoy had her best game since injuring her ankle with 12 kills and four blocks, while setter Brittany Sample dished out 38 assists. Anderson also recorded 12 digs, which marks her 10th double-double of the season. “A lot of it has to do with

the effort put in from everyone involved in the program. From players, to our immediate staff to our support staff. We’ve got people here who believe in our team,” Kramer said. “(The) Mountaineer nation is now behind volleyball, and that just changes everything.” The first set opened with both teams trading points, but the Mountaineers eventually broke off into a 7-0 run, putting WVU up 10-4. Strong serving from sophomore libero Anna Panagio-

takopoulos and Anderson’s five kills clinched the first set 25-17. The Horned Frogs looked like they were to control in the second set when they led at 16-11, but the Mountaineers stormed a comeback behind Panagiotakopoulos’ serving. The sophomore led her team on a 6-0 run, eventually tying the contest at 25-25. A kill from Sackett and a block from McCoy clinched the set and put the Mountaineers up 2-0 in the match. Four different players recorded at least three kills in the set while the Mountaineers hit .308 as a team. WVU clinched the final set 20-25 to sweep its 10th opponent of the season. The Mountaineers gained some ground in the Big 12 Conference and will hit the road to take on No. 1 Texas Thursday. It will be another long week of travel as the team travels to Austin, Texas, Nov. 21 and then to Waco, Texas, to take on Baylor Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers find success in Hawaii by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s basketball team had a successful weekend in Honolulu at the Bank of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Classic. West Virginia outscored Ole Miss 45-21 Friday in the first half, en route to an 86-56 victory. Four players scored in double figures, led by guard Taylor Palmer who scored 17 points in 24 minutes off the bench. WVU shot 53.1 percent in the first half, closing out the game at 47.6 percent from the field, which included eight 3-pointers. “I was happy to see 18 assists – that was big for us – it meant we moved the ball pretty well,” said head coach

Mike Carey. “We had a lot of points off the bench. I think (our team) can do that every time.” The Mountaineers out rebounded the Rebels 52-43, which included a game-high eight from center Aysa Bussie. WVU opened the game on a 16-6 run, with points coming from Bussie, Christal Caldwell, Averee Fields and Bria Holmes. The Rebels were held to only five field goals in the first half, shooting 16 percent and going 0-for-13 from 3-point range. Holmes and Caldwell each recorded 16 points, a career high for Holmes. “The biggest thing is we hit a couple shots,” Carey said. “Any time you can hit eight three’s (pointers) that stretches the zone out a little bit (farther).”

Great Daily Specials

Bussie had a game-leading 25 points to pave the way to an 88-66 victory over Washington State Saturday. “Overall we did a nice job of cutting down the lane,” Carey said. “Asya Bussie – what can you say – she dominated the paint. She had a terrific game and is only going to get better.” She was three rebounds short of a double-double, shooting 90 percent from the field and 70 percent from the free throw line. Caldwell added 19 points and two 3-pointers, while Palmer and forward Crystal Leary chipped in with nine points. Leary led all players with right rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. “The things (Leary) did defensively and offensively. We can’t go without mentioning her,” Carey said. “(Bussie) does an excellent job of

presenting herself. She sealed very well, and our girls were doing an excellent job of getting (the ball) over the top to her. I thought our girls came out and executed and did what we had to do.” The Mountaineers shot 56.4 percent from the floor in Saturday’s match including four 3-pointers and 73.3 percent from the free throw line. Washington State had 22 giveaways in the game, which led to 27 points for the Mountaineers. WVU also won the battle on the boards, out rebounding the Cougars 3425. Washington State was limited to just 20 points in the paint – 26 less than the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers return home Sunday to take on Virginia at 4 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU hits rock bottom DOUG WALP SPORTS writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia’s first two seasons in the Big 12 have been rocky at best, but the Mountaineers reached a new low Saturday in Lawrence, Kan. With a bowl game and a potential winning season on the line, WVU looked more like a defeated team when they were inexplicably rolled over by the lowly Jayhawks in Kansas’ first conference win in three complete seasons. One of the most disappointing aspects of Saturday’s game was after defeating the now 9-1, No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys and competing with perennial conference powers Oklahoma and Texas earlier in the season, West Virginia seemed to regress substantially in almost every facet against Kansas. The Mountaineers played their worst game since the Maryland shutout in Week 3. That’s extremely unsettling because it brings into question just how much this WVU team has actually improved since being pounded 37-0 by the Terps that rainy Saturday in late September. Those who are familiar with WVU football knew 2013 would be a rebuilding year. There was no way to immediately overcome the loss of talent and experience at the major offensive skill positions. Although first-year defensive coordinator Keith Patterson’s defense looks like a completely different unit from 2012, the Mountaineers still haven’t been able to consistently stop the run, which is an absolute must for any program seeking consistent success. Now, after such a program-rattling defeat, it’s entirely possible WVU’s rebuilding phase is back to square one. Think about it, how much have the Mountaineers actually rebuilt this season? How much of that effort was destroyed Saturday in Lawrence? From a confidence standpoint, it’s hard to imagine how it could get much worse for WVU.

The Mountaineers know the hourglass on their season has been flipped, officially ending their 11-consecutive bowl game streak. For WVU’s seniors, the fall from grace has been especially disheartening. After winning a BCS bowl in 2010, those left from the historic Orange Bowl victory will suit up for the last time to play before a potentially empty Milan Puskar Stadium in a meaningless game. Unfortunately, on top of everything else, the prospects for WVU football’s immediate future really don’t appear much brighter. The Mountaineers will lose its most productive and explosive offensive playmaker Charles Sims to the NFL, while potentially retaining three quarterbacks who have combined for roughly half of Geno Smith passed in 2012. Junior college transfers like Kevin White and Mario Alford, two of WVU’s most promising receiving threats this year, will already be in their senior seasons when they return in 2014. Head coach Dana Holgorsen’s recent postgame remarks may be the most damning condemnation of all. Following this most recent loss, the third-year head coach told reporters he doesn’t believe his team is equipped to compete in the Big 12 at this point. Injuries have afflicted every team in the conference, but WVU’s lack of depth has brought the program to its knees in the final weeks of the regular season. According to Holgorsen, the only way to change is to continue to build. But West Virginia fans are clearly nearing the end of their ropes with excuses for the mediocrity. One last thing: As if WVU didn’t already have a steep enough climb back to relevance already, don’t forget the Mountaineers will take the field against back-toback national champion Alabama in a mere 284 days. Hang in there West Virginia fans. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

sending the ball near a far post, but Janosz made a diving save and sent the game into overtime. With five minutes left in the second overtime, Silva ripped a shot from the right top of the box, but it went wide. RU Janosz finished with nine saves tonight. The Mountaineers take on No. 1-seeded Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., Friday at 6 p.m.
