At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, City Manager Jeff Mikorski gave an update on the Morgantown Airport.

Mikorski said permits from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corps of Engineers were approved, and construction will begin soon on the airport aAccess road.

“This allows access to the opposite side of the airport terminal that will allow permanent access to the National Guard Readiness Center,” Mikorski said. “We are also looking to expand hangar activity once the road access is complete.”

“This is long awaited, and lots of hard work to get here.

One of the biggest issues is reliability of our new airline partner Silver Airways,” said Glen Kelly assistant city man-

ager of operations.

Improvements include cheaper rates that are less than $100 roundtrip.

“The good news is to test them we have a $38 rate from Morgantown to Dulles International Airport (in Washington, D.C.),” Kelly said.

“If you’re making plans for the holidays, this is a good opportunity.”

Mayor Jenny Selin read from a proclamation that declared the Saturday after

Thanksgiving “Small Business Saturday.”

Selin said this is a great opportunity to get some holiday shopping done. There will be free parking downtown and anybody who spends $25 or more will be entered into a contest for an iPad. “Spend your dollars on the businesses you want to see open,” Selin said.

Mikorski also spoke about raising the health premiums by 3.9 percent, and the City

Council voted to review possible changes.

“Our rates are very low with the highest class, class 3, making over $39,000,” Mikorski said. “For family coverage it comes out to be around $68 a month. There are some minor changes because we added vision, we allowed employees to decide if they wanted vision, dental, or medical only or combinations of the three.”

A new plan has been devel-

oped to bring better rates and reliability to repeat customers and give benefits to citizens.

“This should increase reliability and now we’re going to test it,” Mikorski said.

Council member Nancy Ganz announced Morgantown is still having problems with dumpster and street fires after sports games.

Abbey Estep, Amanda Stoner and Brady Smith make calls to West Virginia congressmen and senators as an effort to stop human trafficking.

by evelyn merithew staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University International Justice Mission set up a booth Tuesday in the Mountainlair to involve students in the anti-human trafficking movement.

The student organization reached out to students, asking them to call their state’s senators and representatives to encourage them to pass the Human Trafficking Prioritization Act. The bill is currently being reviewed by congress and is sponsored by Congressman Chris Smith, representing New Jersey’s fourth district.

Abbey Estep, a sophomore at WVU and member of IJM, said WVU is one of many universities that are part of this movement.

“There are a lot of dif-

ferent college campuses around the country that are doing this today. The student organization for International Justice Mission is based in (Washington) D.C., and they are sponsoring the whole thing,” Estep said.

West Virginia has just begun implementing policy that combats human trafficking, including paying researchers to investigate human trafficking in the state. In the last five years, there has been very little data recorded on the issue in the state.

“Because West Virginia is one of the latter states to start enacting policy, as of now there has only been one reported human trafficking case in Morgantown in the last year that I am aware of,” said Brady Smith, an IJM member. “We are hopeful that in the next

A member of WVU’s Young Democrats reacts to a point made by a member of the Young Republicans during Tuesday’s debate.

The Student Government Association hosted a debate among the political organizations on campus Tuesday evening.

The College Republicans, Young Democrats, and the Students for Liberty organizations battled in the Mountainlair commons in front of a large and active crowd.

The debate was moderated by Patrick Hickey, an assistant political science professor, and touched on health care, U.S. foreign policy and the private sector.

Despite their differences in ideology, the three sides seemed to agree on many of the topics at the start of the debate but got heated as the discussion leaned toward the government’s role in the private sector.

“The fact of the matter is: the government does not regulate business,” said Colin Wood with Students for

“We have had a lot of complaints saying we haven’t done a lot of outreach, so we decided to do something outside of the Speak Up events,” Hickey said.

“With this meet and greet, if there is an overwhelming push in one area of concern, it can help lead us in the right direction. It is hard to be a student government without input from the student body.”

Members of the Young Republicans, Young Democrats, and Students for Liberty expressed their views on multiple issues during a political debate Tuesday. The debate was sponsored by the Student Government Association.

debate

Continued from page 1 Liberty. “When the government gets involved in business, it is business that regulates the government.”

The Young Democrats’ difference on the matter was evident and created a divide for the rest of the debate.

“Other types of policy have not worked,” said Brian Tomblin of Young Demo-

crats. “It is necessary for the government to step in at certain points. We look at businesses that will have job losses, for the government to come in and say what needs to happen, here is the funding, work your way up.”

Members of all three parties said they were satisfied with the debate and felt they got their messages across despite agreeing on several issues.

“We just wanted to show that at some points govern-

ment regulation is good,” said Josh Harrison of Young Democrats. “When people are repressed for sexual orientation or when we talked about defense spending on foreign intervention, we can all agree on that. We see this stalemate in congress right now, and this shows the students that the young people are not the people in congress.”

Samuel Richardson of the Young Republicans used the debate as an opportunity

to emphasize a new direction the Republican Party is taking.

“I am libertarian-minded and so are a lot of young republicans like me, and I was trying to get the message across that is the direction of the Republican Party,” he said. “I also wanted to get across the message that while the Democrats were very up in arms with certain wars and certain Bush policies, they are not up in arms when a Democrat is in

power, so I pointed out that he has had kind of the same violations.”

Hickey said he was impressed with the students and felt they kept the debate civil.

“I was really impressed with all three sides, and they were responsible enough to agree with each other when the other sides made good points and not just hold on to their political ideology,” Hickey said. “It makes me proud of our students

and also hopeful for the future.”

The debate was the first one SGA has organized in several years, and Hickey said he thinks it’s an important forum for student to speak their minds.

“It’s important to be involved and talk to each other,” he said. “Especially the people you disagree with.”

front of the Mountainlair,” Lendof said.

Lendof said he believes SGA shouldn’t focus on things pertaining to student athletics.

“Focusing on basketball should be the last idea here. Student Government shouldn’t be about appealing to athletics, it should appeal to things students need to function, like nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle,” he said.

Torie Bosley, a senior biology and chemistry student, wrote one of her concerns on the board.

Bosley said she feels the Student Recreation Center should be open to all students in the summer, not just those students who are taking summer classes.

Bosley said she feels spreading awareness is an issue with S GA. “They should definitely raise more awareness and I don’t feel emails are the

right way to do so. Email is just not getting it done,” she said.

Bosley said she felt the meet and greet was the perfect way to raise awareness, because the SGA members were not overwhelming.

She said she believes signs and visual displays are a better way to get the message out.

In the future, students can look forward to more Speak Up events from SGA, as well as an Ask Me Anything event.

The Ask Me Anything event will consist of University administration answering the student body’s questions.

Estep said one reason there is still human trafficking in the United States is because the government agency currently in charge of enforcing such matters does not have the means to stop it.

“The department that handles human trafficking in the government is very limited to what it can do because it is smaller and not the biggest priority. This bill is going to elevate it and make it more of a bureau, like the FBI,” Estep said.

“This bureau would be given a lot more funds so that they can get things done and have a lot more power to actually stop the human traf-

ficking that is going on.”

Estep said the organization has asked more than 50 WVU students to call their state representatives throughout the day.

In the spring 2013 semester, the IJM held a similar campaign to help get rid of slavery and human trafficking, the “Stand for Freedom” campaign.

“With Stand for Freedom, we had tons of students sign petitions, and these petitions were then sent to (President) Obama,” Estep said.

IJM student members held up signs that read “I stand for 27 million,” referencing the estimated 27 million people who are in slavery today.

IJM members said they are hopeful the potential passing of this bill will help deter human trafficking nationally.

tober, I think it is a good benchmark for where the organization is going,” Hickey said.

Hickey said the projects and goals of the BOG members Wang, Mcintyre and Wempe are completed and many other projects are near completion.

Smith said the best way to help as a student is to learn about the issue.

“Educate yourself on the problem as to what’s going on and then use your circle of influence,” Smith said.

“Using your voice is really important, even if it’s on social media. The problem is that people don’t know slavery exists. Until (then), there’s not a whole lot we can do about it.”

Smith said he believes this issue is the most urgent in the world today.

‘The Liar’ brings modern twist to old fashioned story by jake jarvis a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

“The Liar,” written by David Ives, is set to open Thursday night at the West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance.

“The Liar,” set in Paris 1643, follows the story of Dorante a definite charmer, as he moves to the city. Unfortunately for him, he cannot tell the truth and lies constantly. Soon Dorante meets Cliton, a manservant who is unable to tell a lie.

Dorante falls in love with Clarice, but she is engaged to his best friend Alcippe. As the play ensues, intricate lies weave the audience in and out of a perilous comedy.

Director Jim Knipple is the school’s current resident artist. The resident artist position is a two-year position that brings in outside artists from the theater world to give students more experience working with different directors.

“Not a single day goes by where I don’t feel extremely privileged to be a part of the amazing faculty and staff here,” Knipple said.

For those who are not experienced theater-goers, this show is the perfect show to become one. Although it may seem unrelated because of the time period, the characters display very modern traits.

“Every single character is hiding some sort of secret or creating some sort of lie because they’re worried about what other people will think,” Knipple said. “But when everything finally comes to light, they find out that their worries weren’t real, and that others would like them for exactly who they are.”

Stephanie Freeman, a MFA acting graduate student at WVU, brings the crowd to tears with laughter as Isabelle and Sabine.

“If they have not come to a play before, they will learn you can have fun in the theater,” Freeman said. “It’s al-

most like a farce.”

Zoe Teets, a multidisciplinary studies student at WVU, is the stage manager extraordinaire. At only 24 years old, Teets wields the many people involved in the production with the poise and grace of a long-time professional.

“I think everyone will be surprised at how modern and accessible this show is,” Teets said.

Electronic music fans will be excited to know that as a transition between scenes, a mix of dubstep, electronic and house music transports the audience from scene to scene.

At most auditions, actors will prepare a monologue or two and might participate in “cold readings” of scripts. For this cast, the experience was entirely different.

“We played a lot of games and did a lot of activities so that I could get a feel for who they were as people and as artists,” Knipple said. “I’m 100 percent positive that this

New York City reminds staff member to appreciate music, reach goals lacey Palmer a&E editor @laceypalmer

As I rode the Amtrak toward New York City Thursday, I was anxious about the weekend ahead.

Ed on Campus, a journalism club at West Virginia University with a focus on magazines, made the trip to the city with 11 students to visit and meet with magazine editors and network.

When I arrived, I immediately got on the subway, which was quite intimidating at first. I had to load my Metro Card and find the track to our hostel.

The talent in the subway was absolutely incredible.

Although many assume those playing instruments, singing and dancing are subpar artists, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The majority don’t have the resources available to kickstart a musical career, so they set up shop in the underground tunnels, hoping to make a few bucks.

From a man in a wheel chair playing the guitar and singing to a DJ spinning tracks on his iPad while others break dance around him, the talent is unbeliev-

able. I found myself taking photos and giving my change or a couple bucks nearly every time I walked by an impressive artist because I don’t believe they receive enough credit.

The next morning, we boarded the subway at around 7:30 a.m., and I was amazed at the amount of people running with children holding their backpacks to catch the subway and make it to school on time. Even the way we grow up is vastly different in this large city.

I was reminded, though, family is just as important there as it is anywhere as a father and son passed a football, and a mother ice skated with her two small girls during our visit to Central Park.

The homeless folks even shared kindness. Steve, a homeless man on the subway, announced to everyone that the shelter he stays in gives copies of a small, printed newspaper to sell to patrons on the subway in exchange for a dollar or two to help him get a meal for the day – a way for the homeless to show respect to those who give, according to Steve.

One man in Times Square even held a sign

that said “Need money for … ” with a marijuana leaf underneath, displaying blatant honesty.

Our hostel we stayed in during the trip, Hosteling International, was full of people from other countries displaying a wide variety of cultures and unfamiliarity with the area by asking what pasta salad was in the cafe and showing us mascara that would “change our lives” in the community bathrooms.

The hostel provided guided tours, bar crawls and live music in the lounge for guests as well as a variety of other amenities. A pulled fire alarm at 4 a.m. brought the entire hostel together outside in the chilly, fall weather before our departure Sunday morning. The experience was worth it, though.

We ate in a variety of eateries from a pizza shop with the best white pizza to a burger joint with as many different kinds of burgers as varieties of beer on tap.

We also stopped in a barbecue joint in the lower east side where I managed to eat near my weight in food, not to mention the quickest Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts I’ve ever seen.

The reason we went on

A man plays his guitar as he collects a little cash in the New York City subway. the trip, though, was to make connections in the city and bring back tips and tricks to help us with the career search.

We visited the Meredith Corporation, the home of magazines such as “Ladies Home Journal” and “Family Circle,” and met with senior editors and college-aged interns at “Parents” and “American Baby” and digital editors to learn how today’s technology plays a role in journalism

at “Fitness.”

We also visited the newsrooms of the Associated Press, where news is generated and provided to nearly every newspaper in the country and provides some of the top national news first. We talked with a former WVU student and senior executive who started his journalism career with the AP as a reporter after graduation.

We passed by the CBS offices, NBC News and

Submitted

the Hearst Corporation’s Tower, inspiring each of us to work hard and achieve our wildest dreams.

All in all, the trip reminded me why I’m at WVU – to receive an education and get the best career possible in my field while enjoying what I’m doing – and inspired me to do more and work even harder because with that, nothing is out of our reach. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Fleetwood Mac releases first live album recorded in 1970, ‘Boston’ Mitchell glazier a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

««««« Fleetwood Mac, the famed group who became the voice of ’70s-era soul rock, with hits that include “The Chain,” “Rhiannon” and “Seven Wonders,” released their first official live album earlier this month.

The album was recorded in

Boston in 1970, and is aptly named after the city.

A bluesy, almost Jimi Hendrix-esque, feel pervades the album, encapsulating a more soulful era in the music industry. Vocalists and musicians in the band, before female powerhouses Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie joined the group, included Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer.

“Boston” was recorded during the very start of

Fleetwood Mac’s musical career.

While obvious raw talent is evident in the set list, it lacks the depth witchy songstress Stevie Nicks would bestow upon the group three years later.

The span of change the group underwent during the course of its nearly 40-year history is remarkable. It is rare for a group, especially in the early rock genre, to stay relevant for even a decade.

The music on this early record is a chronicle of ex-

perimental club rock, and truly takes listeners back to the days of electrifying guitar solos and disco dancing.

To rock ‘n roll fans, incredible guitar solos are highlighted in the tracks “Jenny Jenny” and “Sandy Mary.”

Before lip-synching became prevalent among the music industry’s chart-toppers, there was Fleetwood Mac. Strong vocalists front the band, injecting Boston with feeling and passion.

This era in music placed art-

Holiday Fitness Guide introduces calisthenics, other easy workouts WESTLEY Thompson A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

The holidays are a hectic time for everyone. There’s the crazy amount of traveling, buying gifts for people and you’re forced to eat dinner with that one uncle who gets uncomfortably political and racist around wine glass number three.

Since most students go home during the holidays, there is also limited access to the gym. Couple that with the frequent meals, and you get dreaded “holiday weight.”

But fear not, you don’t have to watch your gut expand, and see all your hard work in the gym go to waste. There are ways to stay healthy without gym access.

Calisthenics is the answer. Calisthenics are simple body weight exercises that can be done anywhere. The only equipment required is gravity.

For the purpose of simplicity, these body weight exercises can be broken down into four areas: legs, core, push and pull. I won’t take time to explain how

to perform all these exercises, since there are tons of videos online. These videos do a much better job of explaining proper form and technique.

The leg workouts primarily comprise of squats and lunges. These variants don’t differ from each other very much, and there are online videos that show proper technique.

Core exercises work your abs and lower back. Keeping these areas of the body strong is vital for other lifts, as well as your posture and physical well being, since these muscles are your upper body’s foundation.

In terms of abs, there are many options available.

Crunches and sit-ups are the most common exercise, but planks are just as good, if not better. If you have the grip strength to do so, hanging knee or leg raises are challenging ab exercises that are sure to tighten up your stomach.

Bridges are the best exercise for the lower back when you don’t have the ability to use weights.

Push exercises are anything where you make a pushing motion. These types of exercises shape

the chest, shoulders and triceps. Pushups are excellent for your pectorals, and the infinitely wide variety of hand widths and incline/decline available allows you to target specific areas of the body.

A general rule of thumb is the wider apart your hands are the more you are working on your chest, and closer together affects your triceps more. Handstand pushups, using a wall for support, are great shoulder exercises when done safely.

Pulling exercises are when you use a pulling motion. These use mostly your back, biceps, and forearms.

Pull-ups are an amazing exercise that will give you strength in your back and arms.

Any sturdy object from which you can hang can be used as an effective pull-up bar. Like with the pushup, different grip positions will work muscles differently.

A forward grip, with palms facing away from you, puts more focus on the latissimus dorsi muscles of your back, and palms facing you work your arms more.

Another great exercise for these muscle groups is a reverse row. Laying down

on your back, grab a sturdy bar over you, and pull your chest up to it.

Putting this all together is easy. To ensure that you evenly exercise your whole body, choose one workout from each of the four categories and perform a few sets every other day.

I’d recommend three sets to failure in each category. Don’t be discouraged if you cannot achieve a high number of repetitions at first, just keep working at it.

Seeing yourself improve is one of the exciting aspects of working out. By following a light calisthenics plan over your holiday breaks, you will be able to avoid the dreaded holiday weight, and you may come out the other end looking even better than before. It will also make the transition back into the gym a little less difficult.

For those with some serious weight to take off or keep off, take up a cardio program, as well. Any exercise that gets your heart pumping can count as cardio. Run, bike or do jumping jacks to burn some extra calories. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

ists and bands with talent at the forefront of the industry, and Fleetwood Mac demonstrates this raw, uninhibited talent.

While “Boston” is a definite ’70s-era rock album, it has a certain softness to it.

With tracks such as “Loving Kind” and “Coming Your Way,” a more tender side to the band is captured.

“Boston” is a true artifact from the group’s debut in the rock industry. Highlights of the album include “Madison Blues,” “Black Magic

Woman” and “Rattlesnake Shake.”

The album is a chronicle of a band with meager beginnings that came to produce several of the century’s greatest hits. With Boston, Fleetwood Mac fans are able to experience the group’s 1970 live show, and the raw talent and energy that brought them critical acclaim. The album is available for download on iTunes. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Beating the winter blues at WVU With our days getting shorter and dark nights growing increasingly longer as we enter into the frosty winter months, it’s difficult not to feel a little blue. And with the stress of pre-Thanksgiving project due dates and exams, preparation for the dreaded finals in just three short weeks, it sometimes feels like those 8:30 mornings are a little more difficult to leave your bed for and those late nights of Netflix binge-watching a little lonelier than they were before the time change.

But sometimes this gloominess escalates into something more than just the pre-Christmas winter blues. This is called Seasonal Affective Disorder, and it affects an estimated 1.4-9.7 percent of individuals in the United States.

SAD is often found in individuals who live in areas where winter hits hard and there are massive changes in daylight from season to season. It is also most prevalent in 15-55 yearolds, though studies have found the older you are, the less likely you are to be affected by SAD.

Given the correlation of seasonal change and light, SAD is thought to be a depression that occurs due to the lack of sunlight during these times of the year. The lack of vitamin D, a chemical that typically regulates circadian rhythms and serotonin, may often lead to symptoms such as moodiness, anxiety, weight gain and lethargy.

As with any personality or mental health issue, it is imperative to accept these issues are actually quite common in the U.S. Feeling down, stressed or anxious any time of the year,

regardless of the weather outside, is completely normal and these feelings can often be improved with exercise, talking with family and friends or simply waiting it out.

Sometimes things may seem bleaker this time of year, and it may exacerbate feelings of loneliness and depression. This is completely normal and also completely treatable.

op-ed commentary

Accepting the gray area of religion in our society austin rempel columnist

In a recent meeting I mentioned religion, to which I received an immediate backlash from some of those in attendance.

I did not then, nor will I now, speak of the virtues or vices of any particular religion. I did not endorse or denounce anything. I simply spoke about the subject in context of the conversation and received an immediate negative response.

What you probably don’t know is my first degree from WVU is in religious studies. I was strong in the subject and graduated with

some Latin words on the diploma that still sits in its packaging at my home in Parkersburg.

I have always found the subject fascinating, though friends will tell you I do not try to convince anyone of my point of view, regardless of what religion I follow.

This brings me to the point, which is simple and two-fold.

The first is that one can have an interest in something without working to actively propagate it, and the other is that we all need to simmer down a little bit.

As Boy Meets World will tell you, being an adult means there are gray areas.

Children think in black and

white, while adults reason and weigh options. We live in the gray areas. As Mr. Feeny would say, “The right answer is that there is, often, no right answer.”

Having said that, why do we seem to be polarizing as a population? If you don’t agree with me, you’re wrong, and I must let you know how stupid you are for believing the way you do. It is conceivable someone can disagree without hating those with opposing views.

Religion seems to be the best example of this and is present in America unlike anywhere else in the first world.

Atheists rail Christians.

Christians rail atheists.

The point is we live in a society where people just can’t seem to get along. As adults, it really is kind of childish. It shouldn’t matter what someone else believes as long as we can agree to disagree.

If Christians and Muslims in the thirteenth century Holy Land can get along without fighting, so can we.

This division has moved into our leadership. The Republican party has been almost entirely infiltrated by people of some Christian affiliation while the Democrats are often seen as abortionist, communist god-haters.

Both sides squabble over the place of religion and

end up hating each other over it. What no one seems to realize is at the end of the day we’re still neighbors and we have to get along.

In my view, extremes of any sort are counterproductive. Pat Robinson is the equivalent of Dr. Richard Dawkins. TV evangelist Jerry Fallwell’s hell-raising is as wrong as former atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair.

When we get past the bickering, we realize how far right-wingers and far leftists are both comically amusing.

Let’s examine: on one side of the issue is a group, though small, which propagates images of coloring books with Jesus riding a

raptor. You know, because we know dinosaurs existed, but that evolution thing requires math.

On the other we have a small number of extremists who believe only in science, in what can be observed. That’s laughable because it doesn’t explain some obvious questions.

Where did Santa Claus come from? The tide goes in and the tide goes out, but science can’t explain that.

While I’m positive smarter people will one day solve inter-religious issues, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.

In the meantime, can’t we all just get along? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The gym life versus the great outdoors: experiencing nature while exercising

submitted

The rail-trail reflects the changing seasons.

hannah chenoweth columnist

Now that Daylight Savings Time is official, the cold weather and early darkness is out to affect us all.

Although it can be a slightly depressing transition for everyone, the wintry conditions can be a real slap in the face for those who run outdoors. Literally, the icy air slaps you in the face with no remorse.

There is the rare breed of runners who can transition from the trail to the treadmill with no problem at all. However, being forced to take my routine inside when it’s pitch black and

freezing truly makes me realize why the great outdoors will always beat the gym in my book.

The mental benefits of exercising outside among the natural scenery are almost immeasurable. Being in nature has a universal effect of promoting calm and happiness in humans. It’s especially important in this fast-paced world we live in to get some fresh air and perspective. The direct sunlight also has been proven to have a positive effect on your mood. There’s nothing quite like a free dose of vitamin D. Working out isn’t just about looking good, but also about feeling good.

Runner’s high, a sense of

euphoria and clarity that comes after a long run, has personally never occurred to me after stepping off a treadmill.

It’s more than possible to feel great after leaving the gym, but there can also be some stressful factors in the mix that can take away from that. After dealing with traffic and packing a gym bag, it’s already more of a hassle than simply stepping out the door and just going.

Then of course, there’s a big possibility of running into everybody that you know. This may all be well and good but can be distracting and take away from the focused clarity of running outside, focusing on your breath and the rhythm

of each stride. Add to that those pesky people who ignore the “30 Minute Machine Limit” signs and hog the machine you’re coveting. You could try another machine in the meantime, or you could get distracted by the perfectly fit bodies surrounding you, getting caught up comparing yourself.

When exercising outdoors, you can limit the social aspect to people you actually want to see. This could be your dog, running buddy or the sweet old man you wave to on your daily route.

You have access to a variety of machines at the gym, but there are endless trails and routes to explore

outside. Especially in our beautiful state of West Virginia, you never know what scenery you may encounter. Personally, the beauty of the rail-trail hasn’t yet left me itching for a new course.

Outside, you aren’t consumed by how many calories you’re burning or what “level” you have reached on a machine.

Instead what’s important is simply the beauty of running, rock climbing, hiking, cycling or whatever it is that you do. The terrain provides an excellent workout that a treadmill doesn’t, forcing you to work against the gravel, wind and hills.

There’s no time to stare and judge your reflection in the fluorescent light-

ing of the gym when you’re busy pushing through a steep hill, the natural sunlight warming your body and soul.

I vow to break out my ear muffs and hand warmers as much as possible, but I also accept that the gym will be more of a part of my life now that winter is approaching.

I realize how lucky we are here at WVU to have access to an awesome Student Rec Center with just the swipe of a student ID. It’s not like it’s torture to soak in the hot tub after working out, either.

Still, the gym could never beat the glory of exercise in the great outdoors. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

In fact, you could have several experiences with different people like this. Only commit when and if you are sure. If you are attached, your sense of harmony spills over to your sweetie, which adds to the intensity that binds you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Touch base with your inner voice before launching into a situation involving real estate, security or family. Your responsibilities are changing rapidly,

so adjust. You have very little choice anyway. A discussion could be helpful. Tonight: Homeward bound.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You need to touch base with several people in your immediate environment. Once you sit down with them, you will see the value in their feedback. Make an adjustment and use the best of others’ ideas. You will have a lot of support. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Stay sensitive to your finances and to what others need. A boss could take a stand that might not be based in reality. Make a point to reach out to a partner who has a lot of important feedback. Listen to what is being shared and apply it to a key situation.

Tonight: Your treat.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Stay centered, and know what you want. Reach out to someone at a distance who is smart and creative.

Understand what needs to happen between you and a controlling associate. Know when to take a step back and let this person take the reins. Tonight: Think “weekend plans.”

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You might be coming from a visceral level when dealing with a partner.

Take time to acknowledge those you pass every day with perhaps a brief nod. Stop and say hello to someone who actually makes your life seem better. Start a conversation. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You could be driven by various factors, but your friends will be the most important. A meeting could reveal

much more about a situation than you expected. Rethink your approach to this matter. You’ll receive much more information if you stay open.

Tonight: Be with friends.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Your good intentions come through for someone who is a part of your daily life. An important but changeable situation that you are dealing with could be quite disconcerting.

You might feel a lack of control. Avoid a power play at all costs. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Reach out for more information as you explore a creative or special opportunity. You probably will change your tune once you get more facts.

Avoid charging into a situation without first gathering as much information as possible. Tonight: Let your

imagination lead the way.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You function at your peak when working with a trusted associate. You might find that your creativity surges when you feel comfortable. Your finances could be subject to change. Perhaps taking strong action will turn the tide in your favor.

Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Others feel as though they can handle everything you can. You might want some free time for a personal matter or to complete another project. Go along with others’ ideas. You might find that you have more help than you thought possible. Tonight: Out among the crowds.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You might be focused on completion.

You have a lot on your plate. Many people like the way you do things.

As a result, they often seek you out for help with their projects. You might want to start saying “no” more often, even if the request is flattering. Tonight: Do not push.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your ideas seem to flow into nearly every situation, problem and interaction you have. You might decide not to reveal everything that goes through your mind, but you still will reveal a lot. Others might be amazed by your imagination. Tonight: Spice up a relationship.

Antonio’s Italian Chophouse offers a romantic atmosphere by a cozy, stone fireplace for couples looking to spend a date night out.

by jake jarvis a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Antonio’s Italian Chophouse gives customers a oneof-a-kind experience by making quality, traditional Italian meals with local ingredients in an intimate atmosphere.

Antonio’s opened earlier this year, but the sister restaurant in Cumberland, Md., has been operating for some years now.

Shane Gollner, the general manager of Antonio’s, was formerly the head chef at the

restaurant in Cumberland for two years. He now has the opportunity to bring his love of food to the forefront at this establishment.

“We do classic Italian recipes with the freshest foods we can get our hands on,” Gollner said. “Most of the recipes are from older generations from the family who owns the restaurant.”

While there is much debate about what defines “local” food, Antonio’s tries to acquire their product from less than 100 miles away.

The restaurant appeals to

college students and professionals by having a wide spectrum of prices. Most dishes can be purchased as either a full or half portion, significantly decreasing the cost.

The cheapest item on the menu is Caesar salad, while the most expensive is filet.

Antonio’s functions as both a once-a-month splurge and a weekly tradition offering prices between $3-31.

Before tax and tip, a half portion of salad and meatball pasta goes for only $11.25. If that’s not enough, Antonio’s steps it up with first-class

service.

“All of the staff is very knowledgeable about our food, and so we invite guests to stop and ask us about the different dishes,” Gollner said.

The entire waitstaff is dressed in black uniforms that give patrons a very highclass, big city experience.

Gollner mentions that if someone comes to Antonio’s, they need to try the Tuscan Lemonade, thyme-infused vodka with lemonade, Antonio’s signature drink.

As much as Antonio’s is intimate and perfect for a date

night, it’s also great for large social outings. The 70-person banquet room can be reserved for a large birthday party, a work party or other small gathering.

Along with the banquet room, the menu can be altered to facilitate the party’s needs. If the group wants a family-style buffet, that can be delivered.

Walking into Antonio’s is like walking into the 1940s.

Frank Sinatra sings in the background, warm wooden colors welcome you to have a seat and dim candles make

the worries of the day melt away.

“We’d like people to come to our restaurant, eat good food, have a good experience and let us treat them to quality ingredients,” Gollner said.

Join Antonio’s tonight at 5:30 for the Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce’s “Business After Hours.”

Antonio’s Italian Chophouse is open Monday-Friday from noon to 2:30 p.m. for lunch, and Monday-Saturday from 5-10 p.m. for dinner. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Radio show features Deer Bourne, The Cherry Street Band by sam bosserman a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The local talent of Morgantown was highlighted Monday night at WWVUFM’s weekly live recording of their radio show, Morgantown Sound. The show featured singer/songwriter Deer Bourne as well as The Cherry Street Band.

Both groups radiated both emotion and energy. The song selections allowed for easy listening and good vibes throughout the night.

Kevin Merrill, who plays by the stage name Deer Bourne, demonstrated his vocal ability and sang almost entirely original music during the show.

Merrill said writing music is something he enjoys and being able to come to Morgantown Sound was a great

opportunity.

“I thought it was a really a nice setup and a nice vibe,” Merrill said. “(My music) is songwriter music. I love writing all different types of songs and a variety of different genres.”

Merrill said his next show will be Saturday at Dunbar Lanes in Dunbar, W.Va. at 8 p.m.

The Cherry Street Band took the stage after Deer Bourne and quickly proved they were worth sticking around to see.

The band brought together a variety of instruments and talented vocals by singer Paris Winfrey and lead guitarist/ singer Drew Nickerson. Many of the songs played by The Cherry Street Band were originals, showcasing the group’s song writing ability.

Lead guitarist/singer Drew Nickerson, a senior exercise

physiology student, said his band is a fusion of several different styles and genres.

“We have a mixed flavor. We do a couple hip-hop tunes, we do some oldies, and our original tunes are even pretty diverse,” Nickerson said. “We do some laid back almost acoustic style music, even with the full band setup … We can also rock out pretty hard.”

Nickerson said Cherry Street’s wide range of ability allows them to play to the atmosphere of any venue.

“We’re pretty palpable regardless of your music interests,” Nickerson said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a hard rocker or into soft rock, I think we can make you happy.”

To learn more about The Cherry Street Band, visit http://thecherrystreetband. com.

Andrew Spellman, a fresh-

man journalism student, said he enjoyed both performances of the night.

“I don’t listen to a lot of single guitar players, but I really liked Deer Bourne’s style,” Spellman said. “They’re really good performers and can keep the audience captivated.”

Spellman said he hopes more people will take the opportunity to come to Morgantown Sound and support the local music.

“This is the first time I’ve actually been exposed, but I think it’s great to showcase the local bands around Morgantown, whether they are students, alumni or just local residents,” Spellman said.

Morgantown Sound is recorded live in the Gluck Theatre every Monday night at 8 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU in danger of becoming Big 12 doormat

ing record and an 11-year bowl streak snapped, it could be tough to find big money donors. But with Oliver Luck’s support, Holgorsen feels his job is safe.

“He’s my boss, so we talk a good bit. He understands where we’re at and where the program is at. He understands what it takes to be able to get better, and we’re working hard on that,” Holgorsen said.

As for Holgorsen, he feels like he needs all of these upgrades just to stay on track with other members of the Big 12 Conference. If his program falls behind, it’ll be tough to attract the caliber of recruit that he wants.

After Saturday’s loss to a Kansas team that hasn’t won a Big 12 Conference game against a current league member, I thought about which direction this West Virginia football team could go from here on out.

I still don’t have a clear answer, and I don’t think any fan, member of the media or common viewer does.

It’s safe to say West Virginia has officially hit rock bottom.

Mountaineers’ head coach Dana Holgorsen doesn’t know what happened, either. Can it be that WVU is now similar to a Kansas-type team and has become more of a doormat member than a competitive one?

That could very well be the case, at least for a while. It will take time for WVU to be competitive in this league.

I’m not saying WVU won’t make games interesting, but after this season-defining loss, and the last two seasons in general, West Virginia has a lot to answer for. Something has to change since WVU lost to a team that failed to score more than 19 points in a conference game all season.

Time to panic? I’d say so.

While the Mountaineers have certainly had their struggles in the 2013 season, the two teams that were expected to be guaranteed wins for Holgorsen’s squad were Iowa State and Kansas.

From what I saw out of coaches and player interviews after Saturday’s loss, there was an array of emotions. While some players were in near tears, others appeared to not take the loss as poorly.

From my perspective, I just haven’t seen this team on the same page this whole season. Miscommunication on the field is evident, and the reaction to adversity from coaches and players hasn’t been the best this season.

For the 2014 season, there will still be depth at the running back position, but the quarterback scenario continues to remain a mystery.

Did 2013 season live up to its bill as a rebuilding season? Yes, very much so, but the standard and expectation in Morgantown should always be a bowl game. Even if WVU did finish the 2013 season 6-6, that particular result wouldn’t have been too bad for this team still looking to find their identity with only one game remaining against Iowa State Nov. 30.

Since then-No. 8 West Virginia defeated then-No. 11 Texas in Austin in the 2012 season, Holgorsen and his team have gone just 6-13.

Since Holgorsen has taken the helm as head coach of WVU, the Mountaineers are 21-16.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m aware of how difficult Big 12 competition is week in and week out. If one team isn’t prepared, they will flat out get a beating like WVU received at the hands of KU Saturday.

There is and always should be a standard. WVU shouldn’t get embarrassed by a team like Syracuse in a bowl game and shouldn’t lose to a team that was, and maybe still is, considered the joke of Big 12 football.

Coming into Saturday’s game, KU ranked last in the league in 10 categories including: third down conversion percentage, fourth down conversion percentage, blocked punts allowed, completion percentage, first downs, passing offense, red zone offense, scoring offense, pass efficiency and total offense.

That team defeated West Virginia Saturday afternoon.

Not to discredit the Jayhawks, but the Mountaineers got embarrassed by a team that was supposed to be far inferior.

It was good for Kansas, but for West Virginia it was rock bottom.

I am curious to know if West Virginia is starting to fulfill the role of the league’s doormat. It may have officially come to that.

Junior guard Juwan Staten sets up the West Virginia offense during the Mountaineers’ win against Duquesne Sunday.

Junior guard Juwan Staten stepping into leadership role, taking control of offense by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Now in his second season as a Mountaineer, junior point guard Juwan Staten has been given the reins as starting point guard this season. Staten and Jabarie Hinds split time at the position last year, but Hinds transferred from the program last offseason.

Staten has played nearly every second of every game.

He’s logged 40, 39 and 40 minutes, respectively, in his first three games of the season. With five juniors and zero seniors on the roster, Staten is expected to become a big vocal leader on a team that won just 13 games in the 2012 season.

“He wants to be the leader,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He knows what we want and done a great job of leading by example. He’s do-

ing the things you have to do now and improved tremendously.”

While the season is still early, it’s clear there is a new and improved point guard leading the Mountaineer offense this season. Staten is averaging 20 points, 7.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting more than 50 percent from the floor.

“He’s worked at it,” Huggins said. “When you put the time it helps your confidence. It’s hard to keep him from getting in the lane when he wants to.”

Improving the jump shot was a key emphasis for Staten. Last season he shot 38 percent from the floor and only attempted nine three-pointers all season.

His 7.2 assists per contest leads the Big 12 Conference.

College basketball instituted new hand checking rules this season in an effort to increase the points scored per game. Scoring in

college basketball last season was the lowest its been since 1952.

While the new rules present challenges to teams and coaches, Staten said its something he’s getting used to.

“It makes it very hard to guard the ball with the way the (refs) are calling fouls now,” he said. “Zone (defense) is definitely valuable because it keeps us out of foul trouble. I like the zone, and I hope we continue to play a lot more.”

The Mountaineers have already attempted 85 free throws, nearly 29 per game.

Staten leads the team with 30 free throw attempts, indication he’s getting to the basket early and often.

“The biggest thing is just taking an opportunity when it’s there,” he said.

“Free throws will be a key this year – they’ll win and lose games. My focus is to just (drive), make the basket

“It’s changed the game,” Huggins said of the new rules. “It’s hard for guys who have a hard time getting in position.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Holgorsen calls for football facility upgrades

MEL MORAES/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen talks to his team during the Mountaineers’ loss to Texas Nov. 9.

by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

With just one game left in the 2013 season, the West Virginia Mountaineers are at the tail end of a season in which they encountered many problems. From a quarterback controversy that never ended to a defense that forgot how to tackle at the end of season, WVU had its issues.

Tuesday during head coach Dana Holgorsen’s weekly press conference, he addressed another issue.

Since Holgorsen took over as head coach – now three years ago – he’s wanted upgraded facilities to boost the program as a whole. When

West Virginia joined the Big 12 Conference in 2012, it was even more vital to upgrade, just to stay on par with the rest of the conference.

“I don’t think I’m being unreasonable with the requests that I’m asking for.

We’re working hard to trying to go out and raise the money so we can make some of this stuff reality,” Holgorsen said.

“My whole deal has always been number one the weight room. You have to be able to develop, we got that accomplished. You have to be able to meet appropriately, which we can’t and we have to (be) able to practice appropriately, which we can’t.”

As far as meeting together, Holgorsen wants additional

upgrades to the Puskar Center. But those upgrades aren’t as important as quality practice space.

“You shouldn’t have to practice on your game field.

Nobody else does,” Holgorsen said.

WVU typically practices inside Milan Puskar Stadium even though the program has a practice field. The practice field is only used during portions of training camp or spring football. It becomes difficult to use during the regular season due to the bad weather.

“Right now that grass can’t hold up: if you’re on it and it’s wet you tear it up,” Holgorsen said. “We have the space. We ought to be able to utilize it.

The only way with the climate and maintenance, the only way to do it is with turf.”

To make the situation worse, WVU’s indoor facility is rarely used during the season because it doesn’t have the length, width or height to be able to practice football.

“You (have) got to blow it up if you want to be able to use it the way people want to be able to utilize your indoor (space). Safety is key.

You need a runoff, you need proper length, and if you want to do the kicking game in there, you have to go a little higher,” Holgorsen said. “It’s dysfunctional.”

The only problem for Holgorsen is finding donation money. Right now with a los-

Szwed loses soccer, gains perspective from injury by amit batra sports editor @batra01

The pain rushed through her body. After the collision, the emotion was unclear. Could it be the end of the road or just a minor speed bump?

It was an injury that changed her life. From being a leader on the West Virginia women’s soccer team to not playing at all for two seasons, it’s a story that impacted one Mountaineer’s life.

This was the story of redshirt senior midfielder Caroline Szwed. Coming to West Virginia University from Oakville, Ontario, Szwed dreamed of a new life in the Mountain State. Everything seemed perfect when she arrived to Morgantown in 2009.

After earning honors in high school and being a member of the Canadian National Team, Szwed ventured out to West Virginia to play women’s soccer at the collegiate level. It was her first time in America and she knew WVU was the right place for her.

Szwed started in all 23 matches in her first year, playing 80-plus minutes in 15 of those contests. She played the most minutes of any freshman, totaling over 1,800 minutes on the field.

The redshirt senior led the team in assists with six, and dazzled viewers with her wide array of soccer skills. She earned her first collegiate goal, she was named Big East Rookie of the Week and she was named to the Big East All-Rookie Team.

Following a strong showing in 2012 and 2013, including being voted team MVP, Szwed’s life drastically changed.

The 5-foot-7 midfielder suffered an injury that would change her life.

It was a scene out of a movie, and a scene the Canadian would never want to relive.

“My injury happened in September of my junior year the first time we played Seton Hall. I turned a girl and I felt something happen in my knee that wasn’t normal. I finished out the game but I had a lot of pain postgame. The trainers thought I tore my meniscus because every so often while I was running my knee would lock causing my leg to give out and that is usually a sign of meniscus tear,” Szwed said.

“However, a few days later I got an MRI and it showed that the cartilage in my knee was breaking down and a hole in my knee started to form. This

happens from wear and tear over time and I’m assuming the turn I did during that game helped break a piece of the cartilage off. I played for the rest of the season in a lot of pain- at times not being able to bend down and pick something up from the ground because my knee hurt so badly.”

At the end of the season, the doctors told Szwed that her knee had gotten even worse. She would have her first surgery Feb. 29 of her junior year.

“The only thing they could do with my knee is take a bit of the cartilage I have left and grow it in a lab for 6 weeks and then re-implant it,” she said.

“This is called an Autologous Cartilage Implant (ACI). This was the only choice I had left with how damaged the cartilage and my knee was at this point.

The hole I had in my knee had gotten bigger and if I wanted to have a decent functioning knee for the long run this surgery was my only option.”

Szwed said this procedure was the worst pain she ever encountered. At the time of injury, however, she didn’t realize it would be as bad as it’s become. The senior said that the physical pain was difficult, but it’s nothing in comparison to what she endures mentally and physically with each passing day.

“At the time of the injury, I did not think it would be as bad. I remember not really understanding the severity if I continued playing. As I played through my junior year I didn’t think that my cartilage would have continuously worn down to the point where I would need such a major surgery especially at my age,” Szwed said.

The once star at WVU is now realizing that soccer may not be in her life aspirations ever again.

It’s a tough and harsh reality, but it’s one that Szwed knows is what’s best for her future.

She said her family was a strong support, especially when she learned she wouldn’t have the same experiences as her teammates.

So with all of this, how can someone who has been affected with every hardship imaginable through two years still be so positive?

“The thing is, I have so much respect for my teammates and friends for everything that they do,” Szwed said. “People don’t realize how hard these girls work from lifting to conditioning to soccer to school. The girls on

the WVU soccer team are the hardest working people I know and it was an honor playing with each class that I played with. So in a way, yes, it was horrible not being able to play but if anything, the next best thing to playing for me was being able to watch all these girls play and see all their hard work pay off.

Never before did Szwed realize how difficult the rehab process would be. She’s dealt with rehab for two years now, and it’s really been an eye-opening experience for the Canadian.

“I never realized how hard rehab was until I was actually in it, especially doing it for two years now. I have gained a lot of respect for anyone who has had any kind of surgery because I know what they have to go through when it comes to rehab. The thing about rehab is that it pushes you to your furthest limits. It triggers muscles that you don’t usually workout every single day and I would leave rehab feeling like I just played a 90-minute game,” Szwed said.

“Also, the emotional side of rehab is extremely tough. You see your friends doing the everyday things that you use to do and thinking about how limited you are can get to you after awhile but then you have to start thinking that rehab is something that will get you back to where you want to be. It was important for me to try and stay positive since I had such a long rehabbing process.

There were days that I struggled a lot since soccer was my life but I was able to get through it with the support system in my life.”

While there were good and bad days for Szwed, this rehab process certainly didn’t ease the pain away.

The doctors finally told her that the only way for Szwed to live a normal life would be to give up soccer completely.

“The last option I had was a scope to see what was happening inside my knee. I got my third surgery on my knee on senior night, but they went in and found a lot of scar tissue near the incision inside my knee. After surgery the doctors said that it would be in the best interest of my knee if I stopped playing soccer competitively,” Szwed said.

Szwed said her rehab was very limited for the eight months after her initial surgery. After those eight months, however, the Canadian began do-

Caroline Szwed, No. 8, celebrates with her teammates in a game against Seton Hall in 2011. ing more aggressive work. “ H o w e v e r, after eight months or so I was able to start doing stuff with weight which i n c l u d e d l e g p re s s, lunges with the bar, RDL’s with weights, squats with weight...Basically anything that would strengthen my quads, hamstrings, and calf muscles.”

Szwed’s workout load continued to increase as time passed. She figured out ways to relax and make her knee feel more comfortable.

“As far as cardio goes when I was first cleared to start running, I think about 11/12 months in I

started to run on an underwater treadmill at the Basketball Practice Facility,” she said. “This allowed me to run on a treadmill at a fast pace but since my body was underwater it took the pressure off of my knee.”

While there was a time when Szwed believed she could play soccer again, she realized the likelihood of this happening wasn’t likely.

“To be honest, I went into that surgery knowing that I will come out with some sort of bad news because of the pain I know I felt in my knee and how badly it hurt to put pressure on it.

But there is no way of preparing for to hear that something you dedicated your life to for 12 years day in and day out is gone. Especially that I worked so hard to come back. It was honestly the hardest moment of my life but I have had to accept it and start focusing on other positive things.”

While Szwed continues to battle this fight, Szwed took positives out of the whole process. At the end of the day, while soccer is no longer in her life, Szwed learned to appreciate what means the most in life: health. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

Newton’s big night lifts Panthers over Pats 24-20 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Lost in Carolina’s controversial win over the New England Patriots Monday was the breakout performance of third-year quarterback Cam Newton.

Or, as veteran wide receiver Steve Smith describes it, “just a little hint of greatness that is starting to shine through.”

Newton turned in what might have been the defining win of his three-year NFL career in helping the Panthers knock off Tom Brady and the Patriots 24-20 to win their sixth straight game and

remain one game behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South.

Newton did it all.

He threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns. He ran for 62 yards, keeping drives alive with mindboggling scampers. And, he led his team on a game-winning drive, taking them 83 yards on 13 plays for the go-ahead touchdown with 59 seconds remaining.

Smith isn’t one to lavish praise on anyone but couldn’t hold himself back talking about Newton after the game.

“It’s just fantastic, just watching Cam grow, watching him lead this team, watching him go 83 yards,” Smith said. “You hear all about statistics, about other guys having game-winning drives. Now Cam has his game-winning drive against a big team.”

It almost was for naught, though. After all, Tom Brady marched his team down the field in the final seconds for a chance at another clutch scoring drive. But the game ended with an interception, a waved-off penalty and plenty of frustration for New

England.

Brady was picked off while looking for Rob Gronkowski in the end zone on the last play, then argued with officials as he headed to the tunnel for reversing themselves by picking up a flag for pass interference.

Back judge Terrence Miles threw a flag, but the officials gathered, waved it off, and Newton’s Panthers escaped.

“It’s not about me. People want to keep making it about myself and the plays that I made,” Newton said. “I couldn’t have done it without the guys that gave me the opportunity.”

Here are five things we learned during the Panthers’ victory: SMITH-TALIB, OIL-WATER: Smith and Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib apparently don’t like each other very much. It started with Talib grabbing Smith’s foot and not letting go after a play. Talib got a flag for that and then another on a holding call on Smith. They had to be separated by officials twice. “Holding my leg and not letting it go? I play with my kids like that sometimes,” Smith said. “But other than that, I really didn’t have anything to say to him. I just let my play speak.”

VEREEN CAN HELP: The Patriots are getting healthier and it is clear running back Shane Vereen can help them. In his first game back since suffering a broken wrist in the season opener,

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton signals a first down Monday night.

Vereen had eight catches for 65 yards to lead the Patriots in both categories. He only carried once for 7 yards, but will be yet another option for Brady.

PANTHERS D HAS FLAWS: For at least one day, the Panthers were ranked first in the league on defense.

They won’t be after the numbers are compiled from Monday night. The bad news for the Panthers is Brady might have given other teams the blueprint for beating their defense: short, quick passes underneath the coverage.

The good news for the Panthers is not every QB can pull that off like Brady, who completed 29 of 40 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown.

RIVERA CAN WIN CLOSE ONES: The knock on

AP

Rivera was he couldn’t win close games. But his team beat the Patriots in a tight one just a week after clipping San Francisco 10-9. “It feels very good to win football games like we did last week and this week,” Rivera said.

Bet it does for a guy who had been 2-14 in three seasons in games decided by fewer than seven points.

CONCERN OVER JOHNSON: The Panthers lost defensive end Charles Johnson for a stretch during the game, but he was able to return on New England’s final possession. Still, Johnson, who has 8½ sacks this year, is a guy Carolina can’t afford to lose. It will be interesting to see if he’s able to play next week at Miami or if the injury lingers.

Seniors Bussie, Caldwell leading West Virginia by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

When West Virginia center Asya Bussie suffered a season-ending ACL injury last season, the Mountaineers lost more than their best player on both sides of the ball. They lost one of their leaders.

When Bussie began rehab on her knee in Miami, Fla., her team began the regular season on Nov. 9, against UNC Wilmington.

In the 76-47 win, junior Florida transfer Christal Caldwell arrived on the WVU scene. In her first game since sitting out a year due to Division 1 transfer rules, Caldwell dropped a game-high 21 points.

The leadership picture started to become clearer as the season progressed.

As the Mountaineers

continued to play more games, Caldwell continued to improve and lead WVU even more.

In a matchup against Virginia on Dec. 2, 2012, Caldwell recorded 17-of19 points in the second half to propel a comefrom-behind victory for her team.

Caldwell finished the 2012-13 season as the Mountaineers leading scorer (13.1 ppg) and tallied the most steals on the team (51). She was also named to the All-Big 12 team for her efforts.

Her play not only gained the respect of the Big 12 Conference, but her teammates in the locker room started to take notice of Caldwell’s leadership.

After the Mountaineers lost to Delaware in the first round of the NCAA Championships last season, center Anya Dunning remarked on Caldwell’s

leadership. “(They) have five seniors who are all great players and great people.

They have a great opportunity with great leadership and I think they will be great next year,” Dunning said about the 201314 team.

The team that Dunning predicted to be great is anticipated to finish No. 3 in the Big 12 this season.

The team this season will have the combined leadership of both Bussie and Caldwell to help lead the way.

Despite dropping the season opener to Ohio State in early November, Caldwell was a perfect 4-4 from the foul line and the leading scorer for the Mountaineers with 17 points.

Even after the game Caldwell stood side by side with Bussie at a press conference and discussed

T:7.2"

what her team needs to improve.

“Either you have to score from the foul line or with jump shots. I feel like we didn’t do any of that,” Caldwell said after the loss to the Buckeyes.

“We got open looks, we just weren’t making the shots.”

After the loss the Mountaineers traveled to Honolulu to compete in the Rainbow Wahine Classic on Nov. 1619. Caldwell and Bussie were both named the all-tournament team, after their efforts helped their team go 3-0 in the tournament.

Caldwell and Bussie will continue to lead the Mountaineers as their senior year continues. They prepare to take on Virginia in the WVU Coliseum Sunday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Senior Mac Mancuso has been one of the driving forces of WVU’s wrestling team this season at 184 lbs. His current record of 8-2 reflects his love for the sport and its competitive nature while also being a member of the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll studying criminology.

He was brought up in an athletic household in Atlantic City, N.J., where his parents Tim and Marg encouraged he and his brother to pursue sports.

His brother Chris played football for Rhode Island and went on to play professionally in France.

Mancuso started wrestling in first grade and it became his top sport.

He took up football in high school but an injury forced him to stop taking part in the game.

“I dislocated my shoulder, so I thought it’d be smart to stick to wrestling,” Mancuso said.

M a n c u s o’s father coached him throughout his career at Holy Spirit High School, and he still coaches future wrestlers.

At Holy Spirit, Mancuso achieved many merits, including a three-year stint as the wrestling letterwinner, four New Jersey Catholic Invitational championships and the school’s first state champion.

He had many high fin-

East Tournament, where his No. 2, No. 4 and No. 6.

National rankings placed him in the top 15 as well as top 5 in his weight class.

His career as a Mountaineer started as a sophomore in WVU when he earned a 13-4 record. The highlight of that 201011 season was achieving third place at the Navy Classic and Washington and Jefferson College Open.

In 2011-12, he scored 58 dual points for and 45 against, took third place in the Navy Classic and won the Washington and Jefferson Tournament. In placing fifth at the EWL Championships, starting seven dual meets and competing at tournaments in Las Vegas and Reno, his record was 18-9 for that season.

However, he elected not to compete in the following year, citing nonstop seasons of work and just needing a break.

“I was burnt out from wrestling,” Mancuso said.

“Then I went back this season because I love it, and I miss the competitiveness.”

He came back to start the season 8-2, increasing his career record to 39-13. At the Mercyhurst Laker Open, he was the 184-pound weight class champion winning four matches, including the final against teammate Mark Colabucci. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Gabe York scored 20 points, Nick Johnson added 16 and No. 5 Arizona crushed Fairleigh Dickinson 100-50 to open the NIT Season TipOff on Monday night.

Arizona (4-0) allowed the Knights to stay close early before blowing open the game with runs of 18-3 and 18-2 in the first half, keyed by Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and T.J. McConnell.

Hollis-Jefferson finished with 13 points, McConnell had nine assists with one turnover and Arizona shot 54 percent to help Sean Miller become the fifth coach to win 100 games in Tucson.

The Wildcats move on to face Rhode Island on Tuesday night with a trip to Madison Square Garden on the line.

Sidney Sanders Jr. had 16 points to lead Fairleigh Dickinson (1-3), which shot 31 percent.

Arizona followed easy opening wins over Cal Poly and Long Beach State by passing its first test of the season, winning 6960 at San Diego State on Thursday.

The Wildcats weren’t expected to face much of a challenge in the two games at the McKale Center before heading to New York for the semifinals next week.

Fairleigh Dickinson had been outscored by an average of 25 points in 11 straight losses to ranked opponents since 1996 and had lost 10 straight overall on the road after falling 7460 at Hartford on Friday.

The Knights didn’t seem intimidated by the opponent or playing in one of college basketball’s most difficult road venues in the early going, though, aggressively driving to the basket and confidently pulling up for 3-pointers.

Sanders, FDU’s 5-foot11 point guard, repeatedly took his man off the dribble to get to the rim, scoring eight points in the first 5 minutes to keep the Knights tied at 10.

Then Hollis-Jefferson took over.

The left-hander wasn’t quite as heralded as teammate Aaron Gordon coming in, but was still one of the nation’s best incoming freshmen.

Hollis-Jefferson showed off his all-around game against FDU, blocking a shot, scoring on hard drive and hustling to keep another possession alive with two rebounds. He followed with a soaring rebound slam, then put Arizona up 25-13 on a three-point play by getting an off-balance shot to fall after being hit on a drive.
