C-SPAN bus makes Big 12 tourBy Summer ratcliff

City Editor @SummErratCliff

West Virginia University students had the oppor-tunity to learn about pro-grams, resources and intern-ship opportunities offered by C-SPAN Tuesday when the news network’s traveling bus made Morgantown the first stop on its spring tour of each of the universities in the Big 12 Conference.

Many journalism stu-dents used the bus tour as

an opportunity to gain a be-hind-the-scenes experience while also learning more about possible internships with the network.

Kassandra Taylor, a soph-omore television journalism student, said she learned about the bus tour through the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism.

“I learned a lot about how the C-SPAN network func-tions and what they would be expecting from their in-terns,” Taylor said. “I liked that their focus is on poli-

tics and the government be-cause my minor is political science, and that’s where I want to focus my career.”

A group of students were also featured on C-SPAN’s morning program, “Wash-ington Journal,” where they were able to ask questions of Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV). The students, many of whom are international studies and political sci-ence students, focused their questions on areas ranging from the chemical leak into the Elk River to the Afford-

able Care Act. Samantha Runyon, a se-

nior public relations stu-dent, spoke with Congress-man Rahall about the King Coal Highway Authority, which was established in March of 1999 to construct a modern highway through McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Wyoming and Wayne coun-ties along currently exist-ing US Route 52. Almost 15 years later, this project has not been completed.

coordinating council combats homelessness in local area

By madiSon fleckaSSoCiatE City Editor

@maflECK

Homelessness is an on-going issue in Morgan-town. In January 2013, there were roughly 125 homeless people in the Morgantown area.

In March 2013, a com-munity-wide plan to re-duce homelessness was developed in response to the City Council and the County Commission in the Morgantown com-munity, and the Coordi-nating Council on Home-lessness is a result.

The Council will act as a subcommittee of The Connecting Link, whose mission is to assist the residents of Marion, Monongalia and Preston counties and to locate re-sources to help them be-come more sufficient.

“The council is the group that is going to be charged with seeing that the plan gets carried out as effectively as possible,” said Rev. John Sonnen-day, co-pastor at Morgan-town’s First Presbyterian

Church and chair of the M o r g a n t o w n / M o n o n -galia Task Force on Homelessness.

Sonnenday said there was a homeless initiative in the past, but it was dif-ficult to make progress because there was no staff. Now, the Council on Homelessness will be re-sponsible for setting pol-icy, hiring and overseeing a staff, developing com-munity support and rais-ing operating funds.

“In the process of de-veloping this plan, we re-alized we needed to have a coordinating group,” Sonnenday said. “As a

New club helps students become EMTsBy Summer ratcliff

City Editor @SummErratCliff

West Virginia University students hoping to become a licensed Emergency Med-ical Technician now have an opportunity to do so on campus through the newly formed WVU EMS Club. The club held its second meet-ing Tuesday night in the Mountainlair offering an EMT Basic training course.

This is the first such course offered on campus and will provide WVU students with the opportunity to readily ac-cess training that could pro-vide some of the most valu-able experiences of their college careers.

Omar Ghabra, founder and current president of WVU EMS, said he was in-spired to start this much- needed organization after his own experiences as an EMT.

“My sophomore year, I

decided I wanted to enroll in an EMT course while I was debating whether or not I wanted to become a health-care provider. Unfortunately, there were no classes offered

in the area, so I had to drive out of town multiple times a week to attend a class in Fairmont,” Ghabra said. “This was very hard to do as a student, and it isn’t a viable

option for most students.” Because no courses have

been offered in the Morgan-town area until now, very few students have been able to complete EMT training while at WVU.

“After becoming an EMT and learning what a tre-mendous opportunity it was to give back to my com-munity while gaining valu-able experience as an entry-level healthcare provider, I felt that it was important to provide other students this same opportunity,” Ghabra said.

“Most volunteering or work experiences in the medical setting are very re-strictive, so you don’t get any real patient interac-tion. Without that, it’s much

harder to know if you really want to become a nurse, PA, or physician.”

WVU SALA aims to help lower tuition costs for students

By caroline PeterSStaff WritEr

@dailyathEnaEum

West Virginia Universi-ty’s Student Advocates for Legislative Advancement has a mission for 2014 to lower the cost of attend-ing college for students.

Also known as SALA, the organization writes to legislators its concerns that affect the college community as a whole.

SALA is currently work-ing hand-in-hand with WVU’s Student Govern-ment Association to re-duce the budgetary cuts to higher education in the state.

The group is currently searching for students in-terested in assisting in this mission during their upcoming trip to Charles-ton in February.

SALA’s chairwoman, Kristen Pennington, said making college affordable is a major investment for the nation itself.

“The issue of college affordability affects all students, statewide and nationally. The West Vir-

ginia legislature has some budgetary constraints this year and will result in a 5% cut to all state public in-stitutions,” Pennington said. “That will be over $11 million to WVU alone. This could cause tuition rates to raise substan-tially, and it will only feed a continuing trend of cuts to the most important in-vestment we can make as a state and a nation: education.”

Pennington said the groups have already seen some feedback from their hard work.

“We did see results in terms of a principle be-ing set,” she said. We were given the platform to raise the issue of col-lege affordability in this state and gave them thor-ough research on the is-sues that affect students in this state.”

SGA governor Chris Nyden said being person-ally affected by the ex-penses of college has en-couraged him to fight for the rights of students.

In December 2013, The West Virginia University Student Gov-ernment Association selected three students to serve on the

WVU presidential search committee. Each student has met with The Daily Athenaeum in order to share their stories,

their role on the committee and give WVU students a better sense of who has been selected to be their

voice in the presidential search process. Through-out the remainder of the week, we will feature each of the students selected.

Liz Gulick loves the atmosphere at West Virginia University. It’s what drew her to Mor-gantown, what keeps her coming back and what she believes is vital for any university president to maintain.

“It just feels like campus wherever you go in Morgantown. I really fell in love with it and decided to come here when I went around the town. Our waitresses at res-taurants, the people checking us into the

hotel, the people walking around the Coli-seum when we went and visited; I was just

like, ‘Wow, these people are so nice.’ It feels like and it is home. I call it home,” she said.

Gulick, who is from Wheaton, Ill., is in her fourth year of a five-year elementary education program with a special-ization in math and special education.

She is one of three students selected for the WVU presidential search committee, which represents various entities of the Univer-sity and will work together to name WVU’s next president.

She also served as a captain of the WVU volleyball team, where she said she has made strong connections to the WVU community.

“It’s just really cool to see (the WVU) fans’ support,” she said. “I’ve made connections with fans and we’re actually now friends. It’s just really cool to see the fans’ support here – no matter what support.”

Inspired by her sister who suffers from cerebral palsy, Gulick said she hopes to teach special education after she graduates.

She currently works as a student teacher at an elementary school in Fairmont.

“I’ve always had this desire to work with kids that are under-privileged. I visited this school that was in an inner city setting, and I loved it,” she said. “I actually got into it because of one of my sisters who has cerebral palsy because she had a stroke when she was born. She’s been dealing with that her whole life, and I’ve been around that my whole life. I was volunteering in the special (education) classroom in high school and it just touched my heart.

“She’s played a big role in inspiring me and with perseverance. A lot of that comes from her.”

After hearing she had been nominated for the presiden-tial search committee, Gulick said she was excited for the

Runyon asked Rep. Ra-hall why the highway proj-ect hadn’t been made a larger priority and asked him what he planned to do as the ranking Democrat on the House Infrastructure and Transportation Com-mittee to see that the proj-ect is completed.

“Rep. Rahall assured me that it is a top priority of his and explained the efforts he is making to get the project completed,” Runyon said. “He also blamed the EPA for blocking the continued momentum.”

Because of her love of politics, Runyon said she was flattered and excited to be included in the interview segment with Rep. Rahall.

“Being able to talk with Representative Rahall was a treat for me,” Runyon said. “It was also a great op-portunity to represent West Virginia and WVU on a na-tional news outlet.”

Afsheen Misaghi, a soph-omore chemistry and the-ater student, also had the opportunity to speak with Rep. Rahall. Misaghi fo-cused on the Affordable Care Act and how it will ef-fect West Virginians and more specifically, WVU students.

“I asked the congressman what he thought could be done to convince our fellow West Virginians to utilize the resources made available by the Affordable Care Act, es-pecially in the age bracket of 18-35 years old,” Misa-ghi said. “My question was answered well by the Con-gressman, and he pointed out how important the youth involvement is to the suc-cess of the Affordable Care Act.

But he also pointed out that a lot of young people are taking a gamble by not signing up for the program.”

result of that, we are mak-ing much more progress than we ever have on re-ducing homelessness.”

In fact, Sonnenday said that in just the past five weeks, they have housed nine people who were previously without homes.

Since finding shelter is the first step for the home-less to get back on track, the Council will pro-vide housing and coun-seling for those in need through a $100,000 federal grant being administered through The Connecting Link.

“We can provide some tapering support as (the homeless) are able to take over for themselves,” Son-nenday said.

While the Council, once it officially begins in mid-February, hopes to find af-fordable housing for the homeless, it is not a sim-ple task in a college town.

“The supply of housing needs to be increased,” Sonnenday said. “It’s a very tight housing mar-ket, of course, a univer-sity community always has problems with hous-ing because you’re com-peting with all of the students.”

The Council will have two operating structures: the Summit on Home-lessness and a Multi-Dis-ciplinary Team. The Sum-mit on Homelessness is made up of executives of local Monongalia County service agencies. It will also be responsible for inter-agency cooperation and recommending poli-cies and procedures to the Council.

The Multi-Disciplinary Team will consist of pro-fessionals from those ser-vice agencies to plan for direct services to be deliv-ered to specific homeless clients.

The Council currently consists of six members, including Dan Kimble, chief executive of Mor-gantown Chamber of Commerce and Tom Du-gan, a former recipient of services.

The Council meet-ings will be open to the public and will likely occur on a monthly basis.

“By working closely together, we are having much better success,” Sonnenday said.

student organization, Ghabra created a Facebook group to gauge the level of interest at WVU.

Within days, more than 100 people had signed up for updates on the WVU EMS Facebook page. Now, just nine months later, the page has more than 300 people connected to it.

“The level of interest was overwhelming. Peo-ple wanted to sign up for the class. Other WVU students who already had training were reaching out to see how they could contribute. It was phenomenal,” Ghabra said.

“We are very pleased with the huge level of inter-est we’ve seen, but this is just the beginning. We hope to of-fer at least one course per se-mester and during the sum-mer to meet this tremendous

demand.”Many large universities

have established student-coordinated EMS divisions. Ghabra said the long-term plan for the organization is to create a similar entity at WVU.

For now, the focus will be on providing students ac-cessible training opportuni-ties that accommodate stu-dent schedules and provide the unprecedented opportu-nity to become an EMT while at WVU.

“Throughout my time at WVU, I’ve witnessed the Mountaineer values of ser-vice and empathy firsthand,” Ghabra said. “Our organiza-tion gives all WVU students the opportunity to embody these values in a setting that will also provide a poten-tially formative educational experience.”

WeDesign event calls for creative mindsBy megHan Bonomo

Staff WritEr @dailyathEnaEum

Asayo Creative Inc. will host their third WeDesign event to bring Morgantown’s creative minds together for a night of collaboration to-night from 5:30-7:30 at Bar-tini in the Suncrest Towne Center.

WeDesign is a free event for those working in market-ing, advertising, public rela-tions and design industries. Students 21 and older who are interested in these areas of study are also welcome.

Lauren Lamb is the cre-ative dDesigner at Asayo Creative Inc., a marketing

and design agency, centrally located in Morgantown.

“WeDesign is open to not only designers, but anyone who may be a part of a design process,” Lamb said. “We’re designers, photographers, programmers, content writ-ers, and the lovely folks who keep us all organized and communicate with our clients as client relation personnel.”

The meeting will focus on building the community and giving people a chance to meet one another within the industry.

The speaker for Feb-ruary’s event will be an-nounced at the meeting.

“The events are very re-

laxed. It’s a large group of people who love doing a lot of the same things that you love doing,” Lamb said. “It’s a great place to be able to talk about potential proj-ects and share ideas with like-minded people.”

The creative commu-nity is encouraged to come out and support each other and help provide learning opportunities for future in-

dustry participants and vice versa.

“In a way, WeDesign was an opportunity for us to give back,” Lamb said. “We wanted to be sure to in-clude upper-level students in the events because we all remember what it’s like to make the transition from being a designer in a school program, to finding a job and being a designer in an

agency.”Students can benefit

from face time with em-ployers in the area and build their interview skills in a laid back environment while preparing for post- graduation.

“WeDesign events are an awesome chance for stu-dents to start building re-lationships with the area’s design community so that making that transition is a little easier,” Lamb said.

WeDesign events will of-fer guest speakers, a cash bar and drink specials but at this point, WeDesign is an ever-changing event and hopes to pull together to go beyond bringing aware-

ness to the creative work in Morgantown.

“In the future I think we hope to not only have speakers, but be building a group of designers that are willing to tackle com-munity problems as a de-sign project together and to come up with solutions that benefit everyone in the community,” Lamb said.

“The issue that pushed me to get involved with SGA was college afford-ability. After not being able to go to a few col-leges I got into because of cost, I realized that peo-ple shouldn’t have their opportunities limited be-cause of the rising cost of tuition,” Nyden said. “It has fortunately worked out for me, but it simply has not for many other stu-dents who haven’t been as lucky.”

Nyden said he believes students have the ability to influence Congress on the college affordability conflict.

“(The cost of ) tuition cannot rise forever, and it’s time for students to stand up for themselves and take a stand against state leg-islatures, against Univer-sity administrations and against Congress,” Nyden said.

“The unfortunate trend of the past thirty years has been increased privatiza-tion of public higher edu-cation, and it’s resulting in fewer students being able to move up in the world.

Nyden said students should also be concerned about the high cost of tuition, because if the

trend continues, only the wealthy will be able to af-ford to attend college.

WVU student Chris Jiminez said the cost of college has affected him financially through the years.

“The budget (cuts) have affected me badly each year. WVU (tuition) has gone up every year, mak-ing it harder for my family to pay,” he said. “I now am taking 18 credits and am looking for a job because after paying books and other bills, I never have spending money.

By writing to the legisla-tors, SALA could possibly help me have more money in my pocket.”

Victoria Licata, a tele-vision journalism stu-dent, said SALA’s ability to fight for students finan-cial rights is a good thing.

“As a West Virginia res-ident and someone who has the Promise Scholar-ship, I think it’s great that SALA is fighting for lower budget costs. Higher ed-ucation is essential and should be made more af-fordable for students,” Li-cata said.

opportunity to be a voice for the student body and to give back to the WVU community.

“I was honored to even be thought of to be put on a committee like this,” she said. “I think it’s cool, the fact that myself and two other students are repre-senting 28,000 students en-rolled here – that’s an honor that I will take in full.”

The WVU Board of Gover-nors outlined specific qual-ities it will look for in each candidate: integrity, leader-ship, experiences, scholar-ship and vision.

Gulick said she believes those qualities are crucial for any leader of a land-grant university, and she is deter-mined to work with the en-tire committee to find a can-didate who possesses each of those characteristics.

Drawing from her own

experience at WVU, she said she believes she knows what the WVU community needs in a leader.

“I think it’s important to have a good understand-ing of all of the facets of this university, not just athletics and putting our name out there. It’s important to have strong research and strong academics,” she said.

And above all, Gulick said she wants to see a president who connects with the WVU community and represents the atmosphere at WVU, in Morgantown and the rest of the state

“I think it’s really impor-tant for the president to con-nect with people, and not just be this head figure... es-pecially in a town like Mor-gantown with the family at-mosphere and closeness. He or she should be the face of our University, but also you want someone who demonstrates what West Virginia is to other people.”

US judge strikes down Okla. same-sex marriage ban

TULsa, Okla. (aP) — A fed-eral judge struck down Okla-homa’s gay marriage ban Tuesday, but headed off any rush to the altar by setting aside his order while state and local officials complete an appeal.

It was the second time in a month that a federal judge has set aside a deeply conservative state’s limits on same-sex mar-riage, after Utah’s ban was re-versed in December.

In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Terence Kern described Oklahoma’s ban on same-sex marriage as “an arbitrary, ir-rational exclusion of just one class of Oklahoma citizens from a governmental benefit.”

The decision drew criticism from the governor, attorney general and other elected offi-cials in this state known as the buckle of the Bible Belt. A state lawmaker who once said gay people posed a greater threat to the nation than terrorism blasted rulings from “activist judges.”

Kern said the ban violates the U.S. Constitution’s equal protection clause because it precludes same-sex cou-ples from receiving an Okla-homa marriage license. In his 68-page ruling, Kern fre-quently referenced U.S. Su-

preme Court decisions issued last summer on gay marriage. He also took a shot at Oklaho-ma’s high divorce rate, noting that “excluding same-sex cou-ples from marriage has done little to keep Oklahoma fami-lies together thus far.”

“Exclusion of just one class of citizens from receiving a marriage license based upon the perceived ‘threat’ they pose to the marital institution is, at bottom, an arbitrary ex-clusion based upon the major-ity’s disapproval of the defined class,” Kern wrote. “It is also in-sulting to same-sex couples, who are human beings capa-ble of forming loving, commit-ted, enduring relationships.”

Republican Gov. Mary Fal-lin issued a written statement accusing Kern of undermin-ing the will of Oklahoma vot-ers who passed the gay mar-riage ban by a 3-1 margin in 2004.

“The people of Oklahoma have spoken on this issue. I support the right of Oklaho-ma’s voters to govern them-selves on this and other policy matters. I am disappointed in the judge’s ruling and troubled that the will of the people has once again been ignored by the federal government,” the statement said.

Morgantown Sound features underground, acoustic music

Doyle Maurer/THe DaIly aTHeNaeuMCaptain Catfeesh performs for Morgantown Sound.

BY SAM BOSSERMANA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

WWVU-FM’s weekly lo-cal music show, Morgan-town Sound, kicked off the New Year with two powerful performances, reminding listeners of the music atmosphere thriving in Morgantown area.

The double-feature show started off with Cap-tain Catfeesh and the Gruesome Twosum. The band played a selection of heavy songs with themes ranging from snake han-dling to protesting the Westboro Baptist Church.

Captain Catfeesh, who both sang and played a distorted acoustic guitar, said he enjoys coming to Morgantown Sound and was happy to be invited for a second time.

“It’s a great thing. I’ve done it once before when I was a one-man band, and it was really fun,” Catfeesh said. “I’m happy to have a full band here tonight, though, because it allows me to do a lot more and have a fuller sound.”

In addition to enjoying playing on Morgantown Sound, Catfeesh said he thinks Morgantown’s mu-sic scene in general is wel-coming and a lot of good sound is coming out of the

area. “(The music scene is)

super diverse. Some-times you get these pock-ets where there is just one sound, but with Morgan-town, there is a lot of dif-ferent stuff going on,” Cat-feesh said.

Catfeesh said he would describe his own music as a fusion of country, folk and heavy rock culminating in what he calls “Hillbilly Punk.”

Gregg Roberts and Cody Blosser, who comprise the Gruesome Twosum, added a lot of energy to the per-formance as they played with visible excitement and expression through-out the night.

Catfeesh and Gruesome Twosum can be found on-line through their Face-book pages.

The second featured artist was Nate Diru-zza, who is an Ohio na-tive and Marietta College graduate with a promising musical career ahead of him.

Diruzza sang several emotional, original songs, which he backed up with the pleasant sounds of an acoustic guitar. The songs ranged from tales of love to inspirational messages about never giving up.

Diruzza, who recently released “Changing,” has been on tour in the region

going to various schools.“We’ve played for over

10,000 people in just the month of December, and we may be going national with it in February,” Diru-zza said. “We came up with this idea about preform-ing at school so kids can see a concert with positive music.”

Diruzza said playing for school music enrich-

ment programs is a great way to influence younger people to make a posi-tive difference in their lives.

“I ask the kids ‘What are you going to do, and how are you going to make the world a better place?’ and I tell them they don’t have to wait till their older. They can do things right now to make a difference,” Diru-

zza said. However, as illustrated

by several of his songs per-formed at Morgantown Sound, Diruzza’s mu-sic is not just for a young audience.

“My music is not just for kids, though,” Diru-zza said. “I do have a lot of positive music but many of the songs are actually about the struggles I went

through during my col-lege years. Writing about my struggles was my way out; it let me become com-pletely aware of myself and not think about all the bad stuff so much.”

Diruzza’s music can be found on iTunes and at his website, http://natediru-zza.com.

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ garners success despite lengthy runtime

HollywooDreporTer.coMLeonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street.’

BY JAKE JARVISA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

“The Wolf of Wall Street,” released in late December, is a good film but not worth the price of a movie theater ticket.

Set in 1987, the story fol-lows the life of Jordan Bel-fort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a newly hired stockbroker on Wall Street. Biting into the forbidden fruit of sex and drugs, Bel-fort quickly rises to the top.

After getting fired from the larger firm in an eco-nomic slump, he opens his own firm. From this, he makes millions of dollars. But in a true Wall Street fashion, much of the way he makes his money is illegal.

The FBI follows Belfort and his gang for his ille-gal activities and does so throughout the rest of the film.

Whatever legal trou-bles in which Belfort finds himself, he remembers his motto: “Everything is for sale.”

Merely 10 minutes into the movie, DiCaprio is doing “blow” off a strip-per’s rear. If that doesn’t grab your attention, I don’t know what will.

The story sounds great, right? That’s because it is. My biggest problem with the film is the run-time, which comes in at 179 minutes – just under three hours. By that point, I was itching to leave the theater and return to sunlight.

Editing down the movie to two and a half hours would have made for a much more enjoyable movie. At some points, it felt repetitive and tiresome.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” is rich in debauch-ery, drugs, nudity and an overall sense of ex-cess. This excess quickly grows tiresome for audi-ences to mentally keep up as the two-hour mark approaches.

But despite its inherent flaws, this film is receiv-ing some rather pleasant reviews.

Terrance Winter should

be applauded for his screenplay, based on the original memoir by real-life Belfort. The writing is impeccable and earned Winter an award from the National Board of Re-view as the Best Adapted Screenplay.

At the 71st Annual

Golden Globes awards, DiCaprio was awarded a globe for Best Perfor-mance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. This may not be an outright, gut-bust-ing comedy, but DiCaprio definitely deserved the award.

A big question everyone is asking is will DiCaprio finally get an Oscar? Af-ter being snubbed by the academy for his great per-formances in films like “Django Unchained” and “Blood Diamond,” I think it’s finally time for Di-Caprio to win.

Watch Thursday for the announcement of Oscar nominees. Fingers crossed for DiCaprio.

Another gem for the movie is Jonah Hill, por-traying Donnie Azoff, Belfort’s best friend. Hill is hilarious, lightening up some of the more in-tense moments with a great combination of fa-cial expressions and body comedy.

Cristin Milloti, playing Belfort’s attractive wife, is also great. I would’ve loved to have seen more of her. Actually, more women in general would have been great as the film was very testosterone-heavy.

Martin Scorsese pulled off another great movie. It’s well-executed and beautiful to watch but not quite worth the $10.

Don’t get me wrong – you should watch this film. Just do so in the privacy of your own home. Load up a bowl of ice cream with all the toppings in true Belfort fashion and be transported.


Get in shape for the new year: The best fitness apps for 2014

BY NOELLE HARRISA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

It’s the time of year for New Year’s resolutions, and one of the biggest ones is creating a healthier life-style. Nearly everyone is connected to a smartphone now, and they are a great tool for helping with these types of resolutions – thanks to apps.

Exercise is necessary to live a healthy life. Not only do some of the best exer-cise apps give training tips, but they also help users log their workouts to track their fitness goals.

“FitnessFast” is avail-able for iOS devices for a low price. It allows users to log exercises and add ones not already in the library. It also gives the option of set-ting goals for reps and sets for those who need a little push.

“Fitocracy” is a free app available for iOS and An-droid devices. Users can connect with other users to share workouts, keep track of their gym habits and keep up with their own prog-ress. It is perfect for those who have friends with simi-lar goals and also for those who need training advice.

“MapMyFitness” is great for those using a smart-phone. It is free and avail-able on iOS, Android and Blackberry devices. It has GPS to track every move-ment, activity to get a bet-ter sense of a user’s phys-ical activity outside of the gym. It keeps track of pace,

speed, elevation, calories burned and route traveled and saves the information for a comprehensive work-out history.

For those looking for more fun motivation to get the training started, “Zom-bies, Run!” is fantastic. The action-packed app turns a run on the treadmill into a thrilling race away from zombies. Not only does it turn a mundane activity into a video game, but it also al-lows its users to create cus-tom playlists. The full app is about $4, but the 5k training version is a little cheaper. It is available for iOS, Android and Windows phones.

A healthy diet is also part of a healthier lifestyle.

“Substitutions” helps its users in the kitchen and the grocery store by offering al-ternatives for foods they

want to avoid. It is also great if someone is cooking and they realize they are miss-ing an ingredient. It costs less than $1 and is available for iOS devices.

“Superfoods” is a free app for iOS devices that of-fers articles and in-depth nutritional information for superfoods. The guidebook for healthy eating teaches users to look for snacks and ingredients rich in nu-trients to help boost mem-ory and the body for a more healthy lifestyle.

For more information on any of these apps or other-apps for health and fitness, check out the app store on your device.

Some of the best tactics for living a healthy life come in the smallest packages.

Due to the recent rash of gun related crimes – in schools, movie theaters and other public places – gun control has yet again been thrust into the forefront of pub-lic debate.

As an employee in the hunting depart-ment of a retail store, I have the privilege of listening to many colorful opinions on the current status of our country’s position on firearms.

Obviously, many of the customers who come to my gun counter are hunters.

Another large percentage of my customers are people who simply enjoy shooting as a sport.

Most of these customers, whether they’re shooting game or targets, enjoy shooting semi-automatic weapons, like assault rifles, which many perceive to be currently the most threatened.

According to data collected by USA Today, since 2006 there have been 232 mass shoot-ings in the U.S. That’s about one mass shoot-ing – meaning four or more victims not in-cluding the shooter – every two weeks.

Since this upward trend shows no signs of ceasing, many citizens and government offi-cials believe automatic weapons need to go.

But, as the old saying goes, “guns don’t kill people, people with guns kill people”.

While I agree with that statement, I do rec-ognize the validity of the argument for ban-ning automatic weapons. I’ve always strongly supported the Second Amendment, but

there does come a point where something has to change.

Personally, I only use a rifle or shotgun to hunt. I do enjoy shooting clay birds and I’ve had fun shooting assault rifles, but at the end of the day, the assault rifle isn’t a necessary tool for self-defense.

A shotgun under the bed or a pistol in the nightstand will do just as much damage as a .223 AR-15 – they just aren’t as cool looking.

Even though I’ve always stood by the point of view that if you don’t like guns, don’t buy one, I guess now I can see another point of view with understanding.

Even though someone isn’t affected by someone else shooting safely, they could be affected by someone with a mental illness who possessed a firearm.

At the beginning of January, the Obama administration announced two executive ac-tions aimed at strengthening federal back-ground checks on gun purchases in an effort to make sure weapons are sold only to those deemed capable.

Speaking from experience as a gun sales-man, just about anyone can come in and buy an AR-15 as long as they don’t have a felony, which leaves room for a pretty broad hori-zon of people.

I think it would be acceptable for assault rifles to be banned. Only weapons like bolt action rifles and shotguns should be allowed for hunting. Even though they are just as po-tentially dangerous as an assault rifle, but I think they are more acceptable for citizens to own. I think that if assault rifles aren’t banned, there should at least become more difficult to obtain.

APOn Dec. 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Earlier, he had killed his mother, Nancy at their Newtown home. This crime and many others like it are forcing people to have to rethink their stance on gun control.

Do we really need AR-15s?

The Morgantown City Council and the Count Commission have finally put together a separate committee to organize re-housing efforts for the homeless population of Morgantown and the surrounding areas.

After a few false starts, the Coordi-nating Council on Homelessness was formed in the hopes to helm a bet-ter way to provide assistance to the needy.

The Council is responsible for set-ting policy, hiring a support staff and raising their own operation funds.

Rev. John Sonneday, the chair of the new council, said the problem with the previous initiative was the lack of staff.

Finally, the officials have realized that without a staff, no one is around to maintain the programs, and no progress can be made.

As proof of the effectiveness of the Coordinating Council, they’ve found housing for nine people in the past five weeks.

Through the assistance organiza-tion The Connecting Link, the Coordi-nating Council has received a federal grant of $100,000 to provide counsel-ing and housing for those in need.

The Council will be made up of two parts – the Summit on Homeless-ness and a Multi-Disciplinary Team – each performing necessary but large functions such as supervising inter-agency cooperation and planning for direct services to be delivered to the homeless.

There are services in Morgantown aimed to help the homeless popula-tion such as the Bartlett House, Chris-tian Help and Valley Health Systems. However, these programs operate on limited resources and can only help so much. Without efforts from the city, they were facing an insurmountable task.

Some may immediately write the Coordinating Council as a bureau-cratic gesture, though this seems not to be the case. Already the Council has made an effort to provide support to the homeless population in Morgan-town. The Council plans to use a “ta-pering off” method instead of a full assistance method, arguably a much stronger idea.

Hopefully this new initiative can keep the momentum going and re-house a larger number of the approx-imately 120 homeless in the city.

Council on Homelessness a step in the right direction

EDITORIAL

Whether you believe it’s the work of na-ture, nurture or a combination of the two, ev-eryone has their own unique temperament that is apparent at a very young age.

The chances are you have leaned toward either an extroverted or introverted person-ality all your life. You’ve likely been labeled one or the other, and this label can hurt or help you in various ways. Although we are al-ways growing and changing, this is one trait that seems fairly ingrained.

So, how do you know for sure which cat-egory you fall into?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a per-sonality test that separates people into the categories of extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. This test is used by many businesses to help enhance commu-nication and production. For the categories of extroversion and introversion, where you fall is determined by where you receive your energy.

Do you feel charged and energized from interacting with people or by spending time alone and focusing inward? This is the main indicator. Extroverts thrive on interaction, which I believe can make life a little eas-ier. Unless you live in Siberia, you probably are forced to interact with all sorts of peo-ple constantly, day in and day out. Enjoying these interactions instead of feeling drained from them can make life more pleasant.

Although introverts tend to get the bad reputation, I think there are pros and cons to both personality types. Introverts tend to be great listeners, sensitive, and thoughtful. Great listeners are a rare breed and amazing to come by. Since they tend to lean toward one-on-one communication, introverts are skilled at giving you their full attention. They are sometimes perceived as mysterious,

which is also rare in today’s society of TMI. Many introverts can surprise you with

their ability to communicate in writing, as they also tend to enjoy reading.

An unfortunate side to being reserved, on the other hand, is being judged as rude, snobby or standoffish. This can make intro-verts feel misunderstood and isolated.

Career wise, it can also be more difficult for them in interviews and networking, or even consideration of leadership positions.

Extroverts are known for being animated and outgoing, with the habit of speaking be-fore thinking. They sometimes have an eas-ier time meeting people and making friends. The ability to be frank and open can be very refreshing. If you like to chitchat with strang-ers and love being involved in the action

rather than observing, you are more than likely an extrovert.

Extroverts are known for being the life of the party and enjoying the spotlight. How-ever, they can also have a habit of inter-rupting and not letting others get a word in. Extroverts can have a hard time when they are alone and not in the company of others, which can be tough as these times are inevitable. They can come off as obnox-ious or pushy to those who keep more to themselves.

It’s important to understand and respect both personality types so as not to misjudge either one. It’s not that introverts dislike peo-ple – they just need their alone time to re-charge. They find comfort in solitude. Extro-verts, on the other hand, seek out others and

crave dialogue. It’s because extroverts and introverts meet their emotional needs in op-posite ways that misunderstandings can oc-cur. This is also how some amazing relation-ships can work out. Opposites don’t always judge each other but can also truly admire and appreciate the traits that the other per-son possesses naturally.

Introverts may love the way an extroverted friend lights up the whole room, whereas an extrovert may treasure an introvert’s thoughtful listening skills. Whichever cate-gory you fall into, there is no need to change it. Instead, you can attempt to overcome the flaws you are more inclined to and appreci-ate all the strengths of your personality.

BORN TODAY This year others pres-ent you with a different perspective more times than not. You are confi-dent and sure of yourself, yet under-standing a new way of handling life could be quite rewarding. If you are single, during the next six months you could meet someone quite ex-citing. This person will be generous, and have an excellent sense of hu-mor. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to respect your differ-ences. As a result, your bond will be-come more loving and exciting. Both of you will flourish.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH The Full Moon could affect your mood. You might want to exercise your “kiss and make up” technique,

especially with a close associate. You might feel as though you’re between a rock and a hard place. Express your thoughts openly and kindly. Tonight: Relax at home.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Consider opening up to new possibil-ities that emerge in discussions. You might be quite surprised by what oc-curs. You could feel overwhelmed by everything that happens. You simply need to take in the moment and not make a commitment right now. To-night: Play it easy.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Be aware of expenses that keep arising. You might want to rethink your budget. The possibility exists that you might need to give up an indulgence. A little self-discipline will go far at this point. Know that you are capable of nearly anything.

Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

C A N C E R ( J U N E 21- J U LY 22) HHHH Today’s Full Moon puts you directly in the spotlight. As a result, you’ll be able to maximize the lu-nar energy in your favor. Interper-sonal relating will be highlighted. Seize the moment to act on an im-portant matter. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH A dispute suddenly could break out. Someone might misread your at-titude. Make a point to clarify your thoughts. A serious but important conversation will stabilize the situa-tion. Note how this person gets when he or she is upset. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You know when you overspend. You

might feel as if you have made a com-mitment and have little to no choice but to follow through. How you han-dle this matter will be important, but probably not as important as you think. Tonight: Where crowds are.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You might feel as if you must act a certain way, and you could be ir-ritated to be in that position right now. Do not fight the inevitable. You’ll want to balance the different aspects of your life. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Your sense of what to do might in-volve testing out your ideas on someone who is more knowledge-able than you on the topic. On some level, you could discover how easily irritated this makes you feel. Walk away from a difficult or volatile situ-

ation. Tonight: Go with the flow.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Relate to a partner or key associate directly in order to avoid a volatile situation. A friend still might be less than agreeable because of a sudden change of plans. Make a point not to lose your temper, and you will be OK. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Avoid a potentially touchy situation by deferring to others. Consider what is more important: keeping the peace or being right. Demonstrate compas-sion toward a partner or loved one. This person could be feeling insecure with today’s Full Moon. Tonight: Sort through ideas.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Someone could take advantage of

your caring nature. You might feel hurt, or perhaps you’ll just feel sorry for this person. In any case, pull back and be more discriminating when it comes to your inner circle of friends. Tonight: Head home, and squeeze in some exercise.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You might feel pulled in two differ-ent directions. Your friends really en-joy having you around, yet a child or loved one could express some need-iness. You likely will try to juggle all of these concerns. As a result, a part-ner could become impatient. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

The Tea Shoppe hosts tastings

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

The Tea Shoppe, located in the Seneca Center on Bee-churst Avenue, is not just a shop – it’s an experience.

According to owner Lisa Biafore, she couldn’t ask for a better hand.

“The original owners se-lected the Seneca Center,” Biafore said. “However, it is absolutely the perfect loca-tion and atmosphere for the shop.”

Biafore purchased the business in March from a couple who own a tea shop in Cumberland, Md. She saw the potential of the business, as it is Morgantown’s first and only tea shop.

“We not only sell loose leaf tea, but we provide tea service as well as gourmet luncheon menu options and small ca-tering,” Biafore said.

Tea service includes tea, sandwiches, sweets and

scones. Menu options in-clude homemade sand-wiches, quiche, soup and salads, as well as a variety of other options.

The shop provides a re-laxing environment for peo-ple who come in to have tea or lunch or hold a tea party, a birthday party, book club meetings or any other small group meetings.

The Tea Shoppe holds a va-riety of events, such as special teas for Mother’s Day, Valen-tines Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween (A Witches Tea), Tea with Mrs. Claus, Mardi Gras, American Girl tea par-ties, Mad Hatter tea parties, and Children’s Tea Etiquette.

“The list continues to grow as I come up with ideas,” Bi-afore said. “The events usu-ally consist of the tea service, including our savory sand-wiches, a variety of home-made sweets, fresh-baked scones with lemon curd and Devonshire cream and a pot of tea. For holidays and spe-

cial events, we create special savories, sweets and scones specific to the event.”

The Tea Shoppe will be hosting a tea-tasting event today at 5 p.m. This event is often referred to as “Tea 101” by Biafore. In a tea tasting, six teas are prepared.

“The group has the oppor-tunity to try the four variet-ies of true tea (White, Green, Oolong and Black), as well as an herbal and a red tea (Roo-ibos),” Biafore said.

As they serve each option, they tell you everything about the tea, including where it comes from, how it is pro-cessed and the health bene-fits. They also mention ways to brew the teas in order to ac-quire the best taste.

There is another type of tea tasting offered by the shop on separate occasions called “fo-cused tasting.” In this event, similar to wine tastings, cus-tomers will focus on a spe-cific type of tea and see what it tastes like depending on the

region it comes from, weather, soil, how it is processed and other factors that affect the taste. The next focused tea tasting will be next month.

“The purpose of tea tast-ing events is to expand their knowledge and exposure to what is out there, explain the difference between varieties and to also explain the differ-ence between loose leaf tea and what you buy in a tea bag in the supermarket,” Biafore said.

The Tea Tasting requires reservations and costs $15.

Biafore said she wants to continue to make The Tea Shoppe the place to come for something different and to expand to catering.

Several places in town serve The Tea Shoppe’s tea, such as Antonio’s Italian Chophouse, The Dancing Fig, The Chestnut Hotel and Heston Farms Winery’s new restaurant.


Literary magazine extends deadline

BY MITCHELL GLAZIERA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

Calliope, West Virginia University’s undergraduate literary journal, is accepting submissions of poetry, prose and artwork until Monday.

Calliope has been an out-let for undergraduates to have their creative work pub-lished for more than 25 years and is completely produced by students. Mary Ann Sa-myn, the Director of Creative Writing at WVU, is the faculty sponsor for this year’s issue.

Samyn will collaborate with Editor-in-Chief Caleb Stacy to edit and oversee a smooth production process.

“Calliope displays how talented our undergraduate writers are,” Samyn said. The magazine accepts submis-sions from all levels of un-dergraduate education and from all areas of study.

Students who are inter-ested in submitting can en-ter several categories: po-etry, prose (including fiction and nonfiction) and artwork and photography. After sub-missions close, section edi-tors will meet with Calliope readers to determine what makes the cut.

This year’s editors include Celeste Lantz as managing editor, Nathan Ward as art editor, Hope Hart and Mag-gie Kinder as fiction editors, Tori Dobbs as poetry editor and Janelle Vickers as non-fiction editor.

In the past, Calliope has been awarded national rec-ognition as a top undergrad-uate literary journal.

“It was such an honor to make it into Calliope,” said Cara Fisher, junior graphic design student. “I have friends who have gone on to be published in major art journals. Calliope was their stepping stone.”

All students interested in submitting work to Calliope must submit through http://creativewriting.wvu.edu/calliope/submissions before the Monday deadline.

COLD STREAKTexas game a big step back

for WVUEverything took a turn for

the worse in West Virginia’s 80-69 loss to Texas Monday evening in the Coliseum.

At one point in the game, the Mountaineers and Longhorns were tied at 23. Following that, Texas opened up the game and went on to a convincing vic-tory. Even when WVU made a run, Texas responded in one way or another.

Texas (13-4, 2-2 Big 12) shot 52.7 percent from the field, and outrebounded WVU 49-30. It wasn’t just a matter of West Virginia get-ting over a devastating loss to No. 11 Oklahoma State Saturday evening. Head coach Bob Huggins’ squad just couldn’t find an answer for Texas’ physical play.

On top of that, the Moun-taineers couldn’t get it go-ing shooting-wise. WVU shot just 37.7 percent from the field, including an abys-mal 16 percent from 3-point territory. West Virginia also missed seven free throw shots on the evening.

Texas had 18 turnovers to the Mountaineers’ six. It wasn’t enough to even put West Virginia in contention to win the game.

While it seemed the Mountaineers were finally getting close to being pretty good, Monday night’s result may have solidified West Virginia as just a mere av-erage ball club in 2013-14.

It seems to be a pattern of West Virginia teams in re-cent years. With Monday’s disappointing showing, the Mountaineers still lack a true quality win on their NCAA Tournament resume.

With this result, West Vir-ginia’s chances took a se-vere hit. Even with only four games completed in Big 12 play, time is starting to run out, and with Kansas State coming up on the road, the Mountaineers may need to get going on a winning streak to even have a chance at postseason play.

One of the Mountain-eers’ positives this season has been junior guard Ju-wan Staten. Coming into the game against the Long-horns, he was No. 5 in the Big 12 Conference in scor-ing with 17.0 points per game and No. 2 in the league in assists with 6.1 per game.

Only Texas Tech has more losses on the season than West Virginia in the Big 12. With this defeat, the Mountaineers dropped to 10-7 and 2-2 in league play.

Just when ever y-thing seemed to be fall-ing in place, Monday night washed all of that away. Who knows what lasting ef-fect it could have in the up-coming games, but I didn’t see a team that was even remotely close to where it needs to be in terms of body language, flow and over-all playing as a collective unit.

Two wins on the road to start conference play was surely a good sign for the Mountaineers. The biggest heartbreaker of the season, followed by the most em-barrassing result, may just change everyone’s mindset on this team.

Is this year’s team better than the 2012-13 team that just won 13 times all year? You could say that, but how much is that really saying?

The main question lies in whether West Virginia can consistently bounce back from these types of results. Whether it’s a double-digit loss or a one-point loss sim-ilar to Saturday’s crushing defeat against the Cowboys, WVU needs to learn how to mature and forget the ad-versity that is brought its way.

The Mountaineers must learn it the hard way against a Big 12 team that may be the deepest it’s been in years.

Nights like Monday, how-ever, only make it seem like West Virginia isn’t as im-proved as everyone thought. Stay tuned.

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMHead coach Bob Huggins argues with a referee during West Virginia’s loss to Oklahoma State Saturday.

Recent shooting struggles doom Harris, West Virginia in losses to Oklahoma State, Texas By connoR MuRRAyASSOcIATE SPORTS EDITOR

@cOnnORkmuRRAy

Coming into Monday’s 80-69 loss to Texas, West Virginia was No. 2 in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage, shooting an average of 39.7 percent from beyond the arc.

The disadvantage for teams that live by shooting well from 3-point range is when they have games in which the shots they nor-mally make aren’t falling, the team rarely finds a way to win.

That is exactly what happened to West Virginia Monday night.

The Mountaineers fin-ished the game 4-for-25 from the 3-point range, and as a result, they strug-gled to get into a rhythm on offense.

“If you don’t make shots, you put your head down.

If you make shots, you play harder. (Texas) made shots, and we didn’t make any shots,” said head coach Bob Huggins.

Sophomore guard Eron Harris, who came into the game as the second leading scorer in the Big 12, fouled out with 1:03 left in the game and finished with six points after going 0-for-7 from the 3-point range and 3-for-11 from the floor.

“I don’t want to make ex-cuses. No excuses. Every-body’s got to play games like that. There isn’t an ex-cuse,” Harris said.

Outside of guards Terry Henderson and Juwan Staten, West Virginia shot just 10-for-38 from the floor.

In his last two games, which were losses to then-No. 11 Oklahoma State and Texas, Harris shot just 6-for-22 from the floor and 1-for-13 from beyond the

arc.“There’s a lot inside of

me. Just a lot of thoughts wondering what is the an-swer for me individually,” Harris said. “What’s the an-swer for us? How can I get myself back going? What is the answer for us? What is it? Because I’m honestly tired of losing.”

Earlier in his career, Harris said a poor shoot-ing performance like he had Monday night would have caused him to lose his cool.

“I missed shot after shot after shot, and it never got going for me. That’s the most frustrating thing in the world,” he said. “Two years ago I proba-bly would’ve started cry-ing in the game and told my coach to get me out of the game.

“I tried to stay level emo-tionally and keep shooting my shot because I know

that I can hit shots, and it wasn’t going for me. I’m still mad about that … but that happens.”

After playing two games in three days, West Vir-ginia is now off until it trav-els to take on Kansas State Saturday.

“Either we’re going to

keep going or we’re going to give up. We’re not going to give up,” Harris said.

“We’ve got a long way to go. If somebody be-lieves that it’s the end of the world right now then they’re wrong.”

The West Virginia women’s basketball team will continue a tough stretch of play as they prepare to take on No. 13 Iowa State tonight at 8 at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

The Cyclones will be the third team in the last four games that sit in the top three of the Big 12 Confer-ence. Head coach Mike Car-

ey’s squad has been resilient the past few weeks, picking up wins against Oklahoma State and Kansas.

“Iowa State shoots a bunch of 3s,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “Our guards are really going to have to do a good job and rebound well and get into the paint.”

The Mountaineers’ most recent win came against the Texas Longhorns Sunday af-ternoon. After trailing for most of the fourth quarter,

Bria Holmes sunk a clutch 3-pointer to send her team into overtime where the Mountaineers pulled off a thrilling 56-49 victory. Senior guard Christal Caldwell and junior forward Averee Fields led the Mountaineers with 12 points each.

This season, the Cyclones own an 8-1 record at home. Their 14-game win streak re-cently came to an end with a 69-62 loss to Oklahoma State Saturday. ISU’s head coach,

Bill Fennelly, has guided his team to 14-1 record so far in the season.

The Cyclones average 79.1 points per game, while hold-ing the opposing team to 57.7. Fennelly’s squad holds several league-leading stats- his team averages 9.9 threes per game and is 78.6 from the charity stripe.

Senior forward Hallie Christofferson is the sec-ond leading scorer in the Big 12, behind Baylor’s Od-

yssey Sims. The last time the Mountaineers faced a scoring threat like Sims, she went off for a WVU Coliseum record 48 points. Christofferson av-erages 21.0 points per game and is the second leading re-bounder on her team with 7.9 boards per game.

Christofferson’s teammate freshman standout Seanna Johnson leads the Big 12 with 8.5 rebounds per game.

Stainbrook’s success propels WVUby nayef alabdUljabbar

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Cory Stainbrook may have only started his col-lege wrestling career a cou-ple of months ago, but he is already proving to be an in-valuable part of West Vir-ginia’s success this season.

At 5-foot-7 and 125 lbs., his latest result came in the form of a fifth-place finish at the Tournament of Champions, which took place at the Reno Events Center in Nevada in De-cember. It was his first time participating in the tourna-ment, and he contributed to the Mountaineers’ 78.5 points and their overall fifth-place finish.

Stainbrook comes from Streetsboro, Ohio, raised in a home with one brother to parents Tom and Tammy. Prior to West Virginia Uni-versity, he attended Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga, Ohio, where he wrestled for the Warriors coached by Bill Barger.

Throughout his prep ca-

reer, Stainbrook earned many honors and took part in a number of wres-tling competitions. He par-ticipated in the AWC Dis-ney Duals in 2011 and took second place at the FloNationals.

He finished in third place at both the Powerade Christmas Wrestling Tour-nament and the 2010 Iron-man Tournament.

“In high school I was pretty successful. I was placing top three in na-tional tournaments,” Stain-brook said. “I was in the (semifinals) every year (and) I took third in my sophomore year.”

After redshirting his first year at WVU in 2012-13, he began this season with an inaugural 2-1 win over Cortez Starkes of Gardner-Webb University’s Runnin’ Bulldogs at the Virginia Duals in November. He defeated Starkes in a ma-jor decision following two takedowns and a near fall in the first period.

“Coming into college, the redshirt year, I think it

helped me wrestle,” Stain-brook said. “It is different taking a year off (when) you compete, but it’s not structured or maintained the same way every week-end. I think I’ve gotten bet-ter. I know I’ve gotten bet-ter, since high school, but overall I guess you just have to put the work in.”

In that same competi-tion, Stainbrook used that momentum to beat Cory Monteforte of Anderson 16-1 with a technical fall. He eventually fell to the hosts with a loss to Virgin-ia’s Nick Herrmann.

He followed that perfor-mance by a second-place finish in the 125-lbs. class at the Mercyhurst Laker Open one week after the Virginia Duals. The road to that finish included a 12-2 win against Mercyhurst’s Ryan Bohince in the semi-finals, and then lost the final Willie Bohince of Mercyhurst.

Stainbrook lost his matches in Iowa against Midland and Iowa State in what was WVU’s first taste

of Big 12 wrestling.In Ames, Iowa, he came

back from his losses to win twice at the Harold Nich-ols Cyclone Open. Stain-brook beat South Dakota State’s Robiel Tesfaldet with a technical loss, but then fell to Sam Brancale of Minnesota in a 12-4 ma-jor decision.

He snagged one more win in the consolation bracket when he pinned Iowa Central’s Nate Smith.

A notable highlight of his season was his perfor-mance in the Hoosier Du-als in Indiana, going 5-0 against his opponents and helping WVU sweep its op-ponents en route to win-ning the tournament.

“If you’re going to put the work in (when) trans-ferring and going from high school to college, I think it’ll be successful,” Stain-brook said. “If you don’t put the work in and do whatever in college, then you’re just trying to wres-tle and not succeed.”

WVU’s lawrence poised for big yearby dillon dUrSt

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

With the first meet of the 2014 season in the books, sophomore gymnast Jaida Lawrence promised to have another outstanding year for the Mountaineers.

Lawrence, a Rocky Hill, Conn., native, is coming off a stellar performance in the season opener at Ken-tucky where she won the vault event with a score of 9.85.

She is currently tied at No. 31 nationally in vault according to the latest GymInfo Poll.

“I want to score a 10 on vault this season. That’s my biggest dream,” Lawrence said.

Before becoming an All-Big 12 gymnast at West Vir-ginia University, Lawrence was a standout at the club level, claiming several prestigious accolades in the process.

In 2011, Lawrence was a member of the Jamaican World Team and also com-peted at the World Cham-pionships in Tokyo that same year.

“Being in Japan was such a different experi-ence in itself. The biggest thing for me was being around so many different gymnasts from all over the world. It was pretty crazy,” Lawrence said. “That was probably the biggest meet I’ve ever been to.”

Lawrence was a five-time (2008-12) level 10 Ju-

nior Olympics qualifier and was also level 10 state champion in 2012.

Lawrence was able to compete right away at WVU in 2013 as a fresh-man, and had a huge im-pact on the Mountaineers’ success.

She competed in all 12 meets during her freshman season as a multi-event athlete, scoring 253.175 points with a season aver-age of 9.863 on vault.

“I’m a very big compet-itor. I worked really hard because I wanted to make lineups. And I wanted to help my team by getting high scores and help them progress and get better,” Lawrence said.

Twice she was an-nounced as Big 12 New-

comer of the Week and finished the 2013 season at No. 43 on vault and No. 5 in the Big 12.

Lawrence said her fam-ily has been the biggest factor in her tremendous success as a gymnast.

“My mom is my biggest supporter in everything I do, and she pushes me to get better, and she’s always there when I need her,” she said.

Aside from her stellar athletic career, Lawrence is currently majoring in pre-speech pathology and plans on attending grad school after college.

“My dream is to work with kids when I get older,” Lawrence said.

Wisenhunt hired as Tennessee Titans new coachNASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — New Tennessee coach Ken Whisenhunt says one thing he’s learned about the NFL is the im-portance of chemistry, and he decided the Titans were the best fit for his second chance to run a team.

The Titans introduced Whisenhunt on Tuesday as their 17th head coach and only their third differ-ent coach since moving to Tennessee.

Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with general manager Ruston Webster.

The coach also had in-terest from Detroit and Cleveland but said feel-ing comfortable with an organization is important to him at this point in his career.

“I felt great about Rus-ton, about that working relationship. “And I have tremendous confidence in Mr. (Tommy) Smith and he wants to win,” Whisenhunt said of the Titans’ presi-dent and chief executive officer. “And I’m excited about that.”

Webster said it was a fast

and furious process pick-ing a new coach after part-ing with Mike Munchak on Jan. 4.

The general manager believes Whisenhunt is an excellent fit for the Titans and to create a new culture around the organization. Tennessee is coming off a 7-9 record and are 36-44

over the past five seasons since the Titans’ last play-off appearance.

ESPN.com reported the Titans offered Whisen-hunt $1 million more a year than the Detroit Li-ons. Neither Whisenhunt, Webster nor Smith would comment when asked how long the new coach’s con-

tract is.“A recruiting pitch

wasn’t necessarily needed there,” Webster said of landing Whisenhunt. “It was just more about ... talking football and phi-losophy and direction, and I do think we bring a lot to the table with this team and this city. There is a lot to sell here.”

Whisenhunt, 51, is 49-53 overall as a head coach in his six seasons at Arizona where he took the Cardi-nals to their only Super Bowl berth in 2009.

He won consecutive NFC West titles in 2008 and 2009, and his offense in 2008 ranked fourth in the NFL.

He started his coaching career with Vanderbilt in 1995 before going to the NFL in 1997 coaching tight ends for Baltimore.

He coached special teams with Cleveland in 1999 and tight ends with the Jets in 2000 before go-ing to Pittsburgh where the Steelers won a Super Bowl in his second season as of-fensive coordinator.

APKen Wisenhunt, right, was introduced as the Titans head coach Tuesday.

Broncos’ Moreno making most of second chanceENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — His return from off-season knee surgery still a few days away, Knowshon Moreno sauntered over to the sideline one hot August afternoon in training camp. In front of him were two young running backs hav-ing trouble picking up first downs and blitzes.

Asked who he thought would win the featured role in the Denver Broncos’ backfield, Moreno nodded and flashed a sneaky smile, then spun back to the train-er’s room.

Enough said.Neither Ronnie Hillman

nor Montee Ball would pry the football from his grasp, something nobody’s been able to do since Atlanta linebacker Stephen Nich-olas stripped him on Sept. 17, 2012, which resulted in Moreno’s two-month ban-ishment to the scout team.

That penance left Moreno determined “if I ever do get that call again” to let neither the opportu-nity nor the football slip

through his grasp again.Willis McGahee’s injury

gave Moreno that shot at re-demption, and he’s lived up to that pledge ever since: in 479 touches since that fate-ful fumble against the Fal-cons, Moreno has gotten up with the football in his hands all 479 times.

“He plays this game in a way that I absolutely love because it’s every bit of who he is, and he gives you every bit of what he has,” Bron-cos running backs coach Eric Studesville said. “He’s so amped up and hyped up before the game because he’s so excited for it and then he plays with that in-tensity and that energy and that effort.”

Moreno holds nothing back, not even his tears, which were captured by TV cameras during the Na-tional Anthem when the Broncos visited Kansas City last month.

Moreno said in those moments before kickoff, he reflects on all the good and the bad things that have

happened in his life and in football and how much he appreciates the opportu-nity to play the game.

That’s when the tears flow.

“I’ve always been that way, high school and in college,” Moreno said. “I guess it’s just my thing, you know? I play with my emo-tions on my sleeve.”

Moreno has had his share of ups and downs in the NFL.

After replacing McGahee in 2012, he ran for 510 yards and three TDs in the final six games but blew out a knee early in Denver’s play-off game against Baltimore.

Without him, the Bron-cos were unable to run out the clock in the fourth quarter behind an under-sized Hillman, which led to their loss to the Ravens in double-overtime.

That prompted the Bron-cos to draft Ball, the bruis-ing 215-pound Badger who scored an NCAA-record 83 touchdowns at Wiscon-sin, and Hillman bulked

up to 195 pounds in the offseason.

While Moreno continued his rehab from his knee in-jury, Ball and Hillman bat-tled for the No. 1 job but both made too many mis-takes to earn the trust of the coaches or Peyton Man-ning. And while all eyes were on them, Moreno – the Broncos’ biggest back at 220 pounds – quietly got healthy and brought fresh legs and experience to the equation.

This season he became the first running back in team history to top 1,000 yards rushing and 500 re-ceiving, and he scored a ca-reer-high 13 TDs.

Moreno’s proficiency at catching the ball out of the backfield proved the best antidote for all the beat-ings Manning was taking at midseason, when oppo-nents quit defending Den-ver’s record-setting offense with zones in favor of more man coverage, which freed up another pass-rusher to go after the quarterback.

Detroit Lions hire ex-Colts head coach Jim Caldwell

APLions wide receiver Calvin Johnson runs down the field after making a catch. Johnson and the Lions will be led by newly hired head coach Jim Caldwell next season.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Li-ons wanted to replace Jim Schwartz with someone with experience as a head coach.

The Lions landed one, though he appears to be Plan B.

The team said Tuesday that Jim Caldwell has been hired as the new coach and will be introduced at a news conference Wednes-day. San Diego Chargers assistant and former Ari-zona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt was seemingly Detroit’s top choice, but he chose to take the head coaching job at Tennessee on Monday night.

The Lions are giving Caldwell another chance to be an NFL head coach. He helped the Indianap-olis Colts reach the Super Bowl after his debut season in 2009, but was fired two years later after a 2-14 sea-son while Peyton Manning was injured, dropping his three-year mark to 26-22.

“We believe Jim is the right man to lead our team and deliver a champion-ship to our fans,” Lions owner William Clay Ford said in a statement.

Caldwell was hired by Baltimore two years ago to be their quarterbacks coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator late in the 2012 season. The Ravens went on to win the last Super Bowl.

“I’m excited because he has worked with some good coaches and he did a good job with the Colts,” Lions offensive guard Rob Sims said in a telephone inter-view. “Players seem to like him, so I’m looking for-ward to being a part of the next chapter of Detroit Li-ons football with him lead-ing us.”

The Ravens, though, struggled on offense in 2013 and might’ve replaced Caldwell if he didn’t get an-other job. Baltimore ranked 29th on offense overall – 30th rushing and 18th pass-

ing – last season with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice.

Caldwell’s body of work was enough to also make him a candidate to lead the Washington Redskins and Titans. Former Tennessee coach Mike Munchak and ex-Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak were also con-sidered by the Lions.

Caldwell won his first 14 games with the Colts in 2009 before losing the fi-nal two games of the reg-ular season while resting Manning and most of the other starters. The Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Indy was 10-6 the follow-ing season and won an-other AFC South title, then lost to the New York Jets in a wild-card game. With Man-ning out for all of Caldwell’s third season, the Colts lost 14 games and Caldwell lost his job.

In Baltimore, Caldwell replaced offensive coor-

dinator Cam Cameron to-ward the end of the 2012 regular season and he seemed to give the offense a boost as it went on to win the Super Bowl against San Francisco.

Helping the Lions win one playoff game would be a relative feat: Detroit has only one playoff victory – more than two decades ago – since winning the 1957 NFL title.

Caldwell, who won two playoff games in his first season with the Colts, will be counted on to use his ex-perience with quarterbacks to make Matthew Stafford better. Detroit drafted Staf-ford No. 1 overall in 2009 and after two injury-short-ened seasons, he has been spectacular at times and shaky at others.

When the Lions needed him most, he was at his worst last season. He had an NFL-high 14 turnovers from Week 11-16 as Detroit dropped five of six games, plummeting out of first

place in the NFC North and wasting an opportunity to win a division title for the first time since 1993.

Before Caldwell was hired by the Tony Dungy-led Colts in 2002 to be their quarterbacks coach, he had the same job for Dungy with the Tampa Bay Bucca-

neers. He was fired as the head coach at Wake For-est in 2000 with a 26-63 re-cord over eight seasons. Caldwell, who is from Be-loit, Wis., played defensive back for Iowa and began his coaching career in 1977 as a graduate assistant with the Hawkeyes.

Harbaugh leads 49ers back to NFC ChampionshipSANTA CLARA, Calif.

(AP) — Jim Harbaugh pirou-etted in frustration following a personal foul on Dan Skuta. He got hit with his own un-sportsmanlike conduct pen-alty for arguing following a catch by Vernon Davis that went to review before being ruled a touchdown.

And that was just last Sunday.

Harbaugh has been at his emotional best – or, to some, worst – with his cartoon-like faces and quirky sideline an-tics in leading San Francisco back to the NFC champion-ship game for the third time in as many years since taking over as 49ers head coach in January 2011. On Davis’ TD

during Sunday’s 23-10 win at Carolina, Harbaugh ran well onto the field during the play.

“I think Harbaugh gets away with murder myself,” former Seahawks coach and ex-49ers assistant Mike Hol-mgren said. “If I ever did that it would be a penalty.”

Harbaugh should be as charged up as ever come Sun-day, when he faces off once more against the rival Seattle Seahawks in an NFC cham-pionship game featuring that familiar coaching sideshow with Pete Carroll. This time, there’s a Super Bowl berth on the line.

But if you ask Harbaugh, “What’s your deal?” is so five years ago. Enough already,

he insists, keep it about the players.

“That might have been something four or five years ago,” Harbaugh said. “But, I haven’t seen it as of late. And, it would be as irrelevant now as it would have been then when people made a bigger deal out of it. So, irrelevant, irrelevant.”

Sorry, not this week. There’s no avoiding such chatter. Harbaugh has to ex-pect that infamous phrase to come up often.

It dates back to their col-lege days coaching in the Pac-10 Conference. In 2009, Harbaugh and No. 25 Stan-ford ran up the score on 11th-ranked USC in a sur-

prising 55-21 rout, even at-tempting a 2-point conver-sion with the game way out of reach - prompting Carroll’s infamous “What’s your deal?” when they met afterward at midfield.

Whatever their past or per-ceived differences, Harbaugh knows what to expect every time a Carroll-coached team takes the field.

The Seahawks ended San Francisco’s two-year reign as NFC West champion.

“It’s hard to get to this posi-tion,” Harbaugh said. “Talking about a year of preparation and planning and offsea-son and training camp and games. And they did it better than anybody did it this entire

season. So, a great task, great challenge ahead of us.”

The 49ers have already ac-complished plenty this post-season by winning in the bit-ter cold of Green Bay and at Carolina. Harbaugh is the first coach in the Super Bowl era to reach the NFC championship in each of his first three years.

Place kicker Phil Dawson wanted to be part of the win-ning vibe after 14 mostly dis-appointing years with Cleve-land. Nose tackle Glenn Dorsey left Kansas City to join a team with Harbaugh at the helm.

Even if Dorsey’s first im-pressions of the coach left him shaking his head.

“I noticed what everybody else noticed: a coach going crazy on the sideline having fun,” Dorsey recalled. “Always pumped up and always get-ting his team hyped. He works hard, even now being on the inside seeing him every day and how he goes about doing his job, the enthusiasm that he has and the motivational stuff that he has, the knowl-edge that he has. He’s a great coach.”

Dawson appreciates how

Harbaugh takes chances in the kicking game based on his trust in the veteran - and it certainly didn’t hurt that Dawson converted a fran-chise-record 27 straight field goals until the streak ended in the regular-season finale at Arizona.

The 50-year-old Harbaugh, a 15-year NFL quarterback himself, regularly moves around the team plane to visit with players about foot-ball and life. He shares meals with rookies and veterans alike on occasion in the team cafeteria.

“He’s the kind of coach you want to win for,” Dawson said. “There’s a special satis-faction with having a relation-ship with the head coach. Be-ing a place kicker, on a lot of teams the head coach never even speaks to the kicker. He’s around, he gets it, he’s been there. He’s sat in those seats. I think it’s probably one of the biggest reasons he’s success-ful is his ability to communi-cate with the guys and relate to them on their level and be able to instill whatever it is he’s trying to instill in a way that guys will receive it.”

APJim Harbaugh argues with an official Sunday.
