Equestrian Team hosts home horse show

By hilAry KiNNeystaFF Writer

@dailyathenaeUm

The West Virginia West-ern Equestrian Team hosted its home show Saturday at the Reedsville Farm.

Six schools, includ-ing the University of Pittsburgh and Slippery Rock University, made up nine competitive classes of various riding levels.

Hosting such a big show required teamwork from WVU’s students.

Not only did the team put in hours of riding practice for the compe-tition, but they prepared and brought in horses for riders, which were pro-

vided by the WVU Equine program.

“We do pretty well all the time. We’re re-ally lucky,” said Emily Allan, team captain of the WVU Equestrian Team. “We have really great kids. They come out, they go to their practices, they help out here.

“If I said ‘Jump’ they’d all say, ‘How high?’ I’m re-ally blessed to have a great team behind me.”

Allan said the show was stressful, but it was only a precursor to the invitational the team will host in December.

“This is nothing com-pared to what it will be, but it’s definitely good practice,” Allan said.

“The preparation took

a month at least,” said Erin Gerds, co-captain of the team.

“It’s a lot of organiza-tional stuff, like order-ing prizes (and) T-shirts, (and) buying food for the concession stand. Just a lot of things to get ready for the day.”

The hard work doesn’t stop once the show begins.

Many of the team members are beginners, and Allan and Gerds were needed to help their com-petitors tack their horses and get dressed for the show.

The team will host other schools at Reeds-ville Farm Dec. 8, includ-ing The Ohio State Univer-sity and the University of

tornadoes, damaging storms sweep across Midwest

WaSHInGTon, Ill. (aP) — Dozens of tornadoes and in-tense thunderstorms swept across the Midwest on Sun-day, causing extensive dam-age in several central Illinois communities, killing at least three people and prompting officials at Chicago’s Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and delay the Bears game.

“The whole neighbor-hood’s gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house,” said Michael

Perdun, speaking by cell-phone from the hard-hit town of Washington, where he said his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds.

“I stepped outside and I heard it coming. My daugh-ter was already in the base-ment, so I ran downstairs and grabbed her, crouched in the laundry room and all of a sudden I could see day-light up the stairway and my house was gone.”

An elderly man and his sister were killed when a tor-nado hit their home around noon in the rural commu-nity of New Minden, said Mark Styninger, the coro-ner of Washington County in southern Illinois. A third person died in Washington, said Melanie Arnold of the Illinois Emergency Manage-ment Agency. She did not provide details.

By mid-afternoon, with communications difficult

and many roads impassable, it remained unclear how many people were killed or hurt by the string of unusu-ally strong late-season tor-nadoes. In a news release, the Illinois National Guard said it had dispatched 10 firefighters and three vehi-cles to Washington to assist with immediate search and recovery operations.

“I went over there imme-diately after the tornado, walking through the neigh-

borhoods, and I couldn’t even tell what street I was on,” Washington Alderman Tyler Gee told WLS-TV.

“Just completely flattened – some of the neighbor-hoods here in town, hun-dreds of homes.”

Among those who lost his home was Curt Zehr, who said he was amazed at the speed with which the tor-nado turned his farmhouse outside Washington into a mass of rubble scattered

over hundreds of yards. His truck was sent flying and landed on a tree that had toppled over.

“They heard the siren... and saw (the tornado) right there and got into the base-ment,” he said of his wife and adult son who were home at the time. Then, seconds later, when they looked out from their hid-ing place the house was gone and “the sun was out and right on top of them.”

aPPat Whitaker, 82, sits under a blanket in her nightgown outside her home waiting for help to come in Gifford, Ill. on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013. Intense thunderstorms and tornadoes swept across the Midwest, causing extensive damage in several cen-tral Illinois communities while sending people to their basements for shelter.

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

By CArly smith a&e writer

@dailyathenaeum

It’s time to deck the halls, put up the tree and grab a cup of hot co-coa, because ABC Fam-ily’s “Countdown to 25 Day of Christmas” begins Wednesday.

The annual countdown is sure to get watchers into the holiday spirit early. “Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas” always begins shortly before Thanksgiv-ing to serve as a transition

into the most wonderful time of the year.

ABC Family began broadcasting the “25 Days of Christmas” in 1996, showing holiday specials and movies be-ginning Dec. 1 and con-tinuing until Christmas Day.

After the success ABC Family had with the “25 Days of Christmas” pro-gram, as well as the “13 Nights of Halloween” pro-gram, the network intro-duced the “Countdown to 25 Days Of Christ-

mas” in 2007 to begin the holiday spirit in late November.

The countdown in-cludes Christmas clas-sics and fan favorites ev-ery night until the first of December when the “25 Days” officially begins.

The countdown kicks off Wednesday with Dis-ney and Pixar’s “Up” and “WALL-E” to get the feel good spirit of the holidays started. The countdown also features “The Princess and the Frog,” “Mulan,” “Ice Age” and the “Harry

Potter” series.The Christmas-related

movies shown include “Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish,” “Fred Claus” and “Richie Rich.”

The countdown will pre-miere ABC Family’s origi-nal holiday movie, “Christ-mas Bounty,” featuring WWE superstar Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and “The Se-cret Life of the American Teenager” star, Francia Raisa. It will also feature the special, “Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown.” On the last day of the countdown,

the network television premiere of “Harry Pot-ter and the Deathly Hal-lows Part 2” will air after a marathon of the movie series.

The official “25 Days of Christmas” includes even more Christmas mov-ies and specials than the countdown.

The Christmas clas-sic “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” will kick off the “25 Days,” and the program will showcase different holiday movies and shows every

night. The weekend be-fore Christmas will include a holiday movie mara-thon and holiday clas-sics marathon to officially get you in the Christmas spirit.

The full line up of the “Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas” and the “25 Days of Christmas” can be found on http://abcfamily.go.com/news/listing/25-days-of-christmas/down-l o a d - t h e - 2 5 - d a y s - o f -christmas-schedule-now.

Box office: ‘Best Man’ nearly topples ‘Thor’NEW YORK (AP) — In an

unlikely battle of sequels, “Thor: The Dark World” bested “The Best Man Hol-iday” at the box office.

Disney’s “Thor: The Dark World” continued its box-office reign with $38.5 million in its second week of release, accord-ing to studio estimates Sunday. Opening 15 years after the original “The Best Man,” Universal’s “The Best Man Holiday” opened strongly with $30.6 million.

Drawing an overwhelm-ingly female and African-American audience, “The Best Man Holiday” was a surprise challenger for the mighty “Thor.” The R-rated romantic comedy, with an ensemble cast including Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs, debuted with more than three times the box office of 1999’s “The Best Man.” That film opened with $9 million.

The performance of Malcolm D. Lee’s “The Best Man Holiday” con-tinued an ongoing trend. Movies that appeal partic-ularly to black audiences have often been surpass-ing expectations at the box office.

“It’s a familiar refrain, and it’s getting a little tired,” said Lee. “I thought we had a chance to do something special.”

“Lee Daniels’ The But-

ler” led the box office for several weeks in August, leading to a cumulative total of $115.5 million do-mestically. The Oscar-con-tender “12 Years a Slave” has made $25 million in five weeks of limited release.

Lee said that while black audiences “see ev-erything” at the mov-ies, from action movies to romantic comedies, he hopes broader audiences begin responding to so-called “black films.” The audience for “Best Man Holiday” was 87 percent African-American.

Regardless, a third “Best Man” film now seems a likely bet.

“If there is going to be a sequel, it won’t take 14 years,” granted Lee.

Marvel’s Norse super-hero, however, has been hammering audiences around the globe. “Thor: The Dark World” made $52.5 million internation-ally over the weekend, bringing its worldwide to-tal to $479.8 million. With Chris Hemsworth as the title character and Tom Hiddleston as the popu-lar villain Loki, the Thor franchise has proven to be one of Marvel’s most successful.

Just as “Thor” ap-proached the half-bil-lion mark, Warner Bros.’

space adventure “Grav-ity” crossed it. In seven weeks of release, “Grav-ity” has made $514.9 mil-lion globally.

“The Best Man Holiday” was the only new wide-re-lease opening over the weekend, as the market-place clears out for the release of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” In limited release, Al-exander Payne’s black-and-white Midwest road trip “Nebraska” opened in four locations with a solid $35,000 per theater average for Paramount Pictures.

Ma r t i n S c o r s e s e ’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” was originally slated to open, but was post-poned to Dec. 25 by Paramount.

Expected to be one of the year’s biggest debuts, Lionsgate’s “Catching Fire” will abruptly close the box-office window for “Thor” next weekend. “Catching Fire” opened in Brazil over the weekend, earning $6.3 million.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sun-day at U.S. and Cana-dian theaters, accord-ing to Rentrak. Where available, latest interna-tional numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domes-tic figures will be released Monday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —For nearly three decades, spikey-eared hero Link has captained a boat, mastered a magic flute and flown a giant bird in the name of rescuing Princess Zelda from dastardly foes.

In his latest quest, he’s morphing into walls. That may sound like a flat de-velopment for the wholly untarnished “Legend of Zelda” franchise, but it’s as “aha!”-inspiring as previ-ous installments.

“The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds” ($39.99 for the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS) starts with a flamboyant villain named Yuga storming the fantasti-cal kingdom of Hyrule and transforming the land’s Seven Sages, as well as Princess Zelda and Link, into 2-D illustrations. Luck-ily, it ain’t 1991 anymore, so Link isn’t only confined to the wall. He’s able to pop on and off at will.

With his newfound abil-ity, the blacksmith’s ap-prentice can slip into mountain sides and move across chasms or fling him-self into castle walls to slip through tiny crevices. It’s a simple twist, one that opens up a breathtaking array of mind-bending spatial puzzles, the kind that captured the public’s imagination long before any candy-crushing sagas.

The other major switch-

eroo is that “A Link Be-tween Worlds” is almost completely a nonlinear ex-perience. The gear required to solve puzzles within the dungeons where the Seven Sages are held cap-tive is available to either buy or rent from the out-set. The catch with borrow-ing? If Link falls in battle, he’ll lose all rented items and must wcheck them out again at full price.

Such small “Zelda” ad-justments have a big impact on the game’s flow.

The lack of handholding gives players the freedom to explore Hyrule (and its creepy sister, Lorule) in any order they choose. It also adds stwakes if gamers de-cide to take a chance, say, by renting a fire-spewing staff necessary for trekking through some icy ruins in-stead of merely purchasing it outright. For those who take the risk, they could save hundreds of Rupees.

Over the past three years, there’s been several “Legend of Zelda” remakes, rereleases and anniversary

editions unleashed by Nin-tendo for the 3DS. None of those has been as capti-vating as “A Link Between Worlds,” an original “Leg-end of Zelda” epic created especially for the glasses-free 3DS.

While the 3-D function-ality of most 3DS games can be written off as gim-micky, a few platform-ma-neuvering, vertigo-induc-ing instances in “A Link Between Worlds” practi-cally demands to be played beyond two dimensions. “Zelda” mastermind Eiji Aonuma and his develop-ment team have thought-fully crafted a game that re-ally should be experienced in 3-D.

“A Link Between Worlds” is exactly what anyone could want out of a hand-held “Zelda” adventure. That’s also its greatest de-ficiency. The game’s open 3-D world is a welcome – and much needed – change to the been-there-grabbed-that formula of past “Zelda” titles. There’s nothing all that unexpected about “A Link Between Worlds.”

Review: ‘Link Between Worlds’ a ‘Zelda’ with depth

Jolie, Martin moved to tears at Governors AwardsLOS ANGELES (AP) — An-

gelina Jolie, Steve Martin and Angela Lansbury were moved to tears at the film academy’s fifth annual Gov-ernors Awards.

Each of the entertain-ers accepted honorary Os-car statuettes Saturday at a private dinner at the Hol-lywood & Highland Center. Italian costume designer Piero Tosi was also hon-ored, but did not attend the ceremony.

Jolie received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Before guests in-cluding Brad Pitt and a man Jolie cited as “my hero,” WWII veteran and Olym-pian Louis Zamperini, the 38-year-old actress-director became emotional as she thanked her late mother, whom she said inspired her to think of others and give back.

“To stand here today means I did as she asked,” Jolie said. “And if she were alive, she’d be very proud.”

Tom Hanks and Mar-tin Short helped pres-ent Martin with his hon-orary Oscar, which Short described as “the highest honor an actor can receive in mid-November.”

Accepting recognition for his distinguished career, Martin said, “I can’t possi-bly express how I excited I am tonight, because the Bo-tox is fresh.”

But the 68-year-old got misty eyed as he reflected on the dear friends he’s made during his five de-cades in film.

“I knew I wasn’t go-ing to make it through this speech,” he said. “I read it to my dog this morning and wept.”

Lansbury recited a list

of her famous co-stars as she accepted her honor-ary Academy Award: Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable, Lawrence Oliv-ier and Orson Welles. With her two brothers, three chil-dren and three grandchil-dren in tow, the 88-year-old actress’ voice cracked as she thanked movies and acting for rescuing her after the death of her husband.

She said sharing the Governors Awards cere-mony with her family was better than “shivering with hope” during her three Os-car nominations, none of which resulted in statuettes.

“You can’t imagine how happy and proud I feel, re-ally undeserving of this gorgeous golden chap,” she said.

The crowd inside the Ray Dolby Ballroom was like a

who’s-who of the upcom-ing awards season. Be-sides guests such as Diane Keaton, Octavia Spencer, Geoffrey Rush, Emma Thompson and Harrison Ford were stars of some of the year’s most acclaimed films, including Michael B. Jordan of “Fruitvale Sta-tion,” Idris Elba and Nao-mie Harris of “Mandela: The Long Walk to Free-dom,” Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lu-pita Nyong’o and direc-tor Steve McQueen of “12 Years a Slave,” Matthew Mc-Conaughey and Jared Leto of “Dallas Buyers Club” and Amy Adams and director David O. Russell of “Amer-ican Hustle.”

The Governors Awards were not televised but por-tions of the ceremony may be included in the Academy Awards telecast on March 2, 2014.

Canadian mayor admits drug use, stays in office

Our neighbors in To-ronto have a bizarre case on their hands.

Toronto’s mayor, Rob Ford, is facing harsh criti-cism from lawmakers who are pushing him to resign or enter drug rehab.

This is the result of a viral video of Ford admitting he has smoked cocaine, drinks heavily on occasion and purchased illegal drugs in the past two years.

During the debate, al-most every council mem-ber asked Ford to take a leave of absence. “Together we stand to ask you to step aside and take a leave of absence,” said councilor Jaye Robinson.

The same council voted 41-2 for the Mayor to step down, but he ultimately refused.

Ford hasn’t addressed these allegations besides claiming the ordeal is “the most humiliating experi-ence that I’ve gone through in my entire life.”

He went on to add thathe’ll be in the position for another five years and he is not an addict of any sort.

While Ford is feeling the wrath from his fellow coun-cil members, he has not been convicted of a crime.

What is different from Toronto and some of the major cities in the United States is that Ford is just one voting member in

the council and his power comes directly from his own ability.

His authority has dimin-ished immensely from the drug scandal, which is a fate better than being re-moved from office for good.

“We really just have to build a box around the mayor so we can get work done,” said councilor John Filion.

“We can’t tell him what to do. Only the electorate can tell him what to do.

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

Ford.This entire situation has

left many flabbergasted and asking the question, “How does a mayor who smokes cocaine still repre-sent an entire city?”

I can only hope Ford

doesn’t bring his outside activities into the office.

This is an extremely im-portant time for Ford to regain the support of his lost supporters and fellow councilmen who are call-ing for his resignation.

He must demonstrate a new professional attitude toward the power of his job and launch multiple pub-lic relation campaigns to help rebuild his reputation throughout Toronto and Canada.

I think something we all need to at least appreci-ate from Mayor Ford is the fact he came out and ad-mitted mistakes and is tak-ing responsibility. It would be easy for a politician to run away from his past, as we’ve seen too often in our own country, but he knows he messed up, and you can’t start to gain the trust of the people unless they hear you say “I’m sorry.”

I’m not saying the peo-ple of Toronto should for-give him, because they are entitled to their own opin-ion, but at least they can begin to move forward.

This situation cannot be easy to live with, but when you make such childish and juvenile decisions, you’re going to deal with negative consequences.

For the sake of Toronto they only want an honest, law abiding mayor, and I hope Mayor Ford can get his personal problems to-gether and lead the city in the direction it needs.

Sexism reason behind girls losing self esteem in college

Over the past couple of months, research has sur-faced reporting girls are rapidly losing self-esteem in college.

Female students who enter college as self-as-sured, ambitious individu-als graduate with less con-fidence, feeling anxious, doubtful and depressed, and no one can figure out exactly why.

As a female college stu-dent who is experiencing this firsthand, I’ll tell you.

It’s because we’re being lied to.

I started my college ca-reer as ambitious as a per-son could be. I had been a success in high school, got-ten a jump start on my in-ternship experience, and

would be entering school a year ahead in credits. I was headed to my dream school, and my goals of beginning a long career in journalism seemed closer than ever. I had been sold on my school’s state-of-the-art media college and after a lifetime of people telling me I could be any-thing I wanted to be, I could not wait to get in there and make things happen. I was sure I could.

It didn’t take long for me to realize things weren’t quite right.

During my first finals week, my dorm halls hung bright posters exclaiming “Don’t worry if you fail your finals; just pray your future husband is passing his!”

In my first real journal-ism writing class, I was told by one of my favorite pro-fessors that I should use my “girl charms” to get infor-

mation out of people. (He later told me I was the most likely to succeed student in the class.)

To this day I still find myself in frustrated near-tears when my ideas and thoughts are brushed aside and disregarded until a male student brings them up and they suddenly seem great. (I know there is a de-bate on whether or not this actually happens, but trust me, it actually happens.)

The list continues, but those are fitting examples.

These situations aren’t too bad on their own, but become a million times more disheartening when I consider they’re taking place against the backdrop of my dream school, a place that prides itself on help-ing me succeed. It’s made me wonder what exactly is considered to be “success” for students of the female

gender.Of course this doesn’t

mean women are hopeless when it comes to college education and career ambi-tion. We know we’re better than what our institutions often have to offer, and we make the most of what we have, because that’s what we’ve been raised to do: Be awesome.

So then why, on such a massive scale, are we leav-ing our places of education feeling hopeless and anx-ious? Because it’s our first encounter with the real world.

In high school, every-one is still figuring out who they are, so our view of big bad “society” is warped and clouded. When we enter college, however, we find ourselves as adults among adults, and we’re disheart-ened by what we see. We realize during these for-

mative years that “society” is just a bunch of grown-up kids, and that even in the most sophisticated, el-evated settings, we’re still subject to sexism, discrim-ination and bigotry just be-cause we’re girls.

College is when we re-alize that it’s never going to go away. At high-strung universities that claim to lead us to success, at the jobs we fought to earn and among the people we meet out in the ‘real world,” we’re always going to be seen to some degree as lesser than, forgotten, or simply better-intended for some other setting.

There is no happy end-ing – as we were promised – where we hit the ground running, degree in hand, into a sunset full of fair-ness and equal opportuni-ties. We have to make that world for ourselves.

Here’s the bottom line to counter this cynical pic-ture: I know that when I do earn my dream job – with-out the need to use my “girl charms” in the process – and I do make myself heard and I do let every other girl out there know that she can do the same despite the ex-tra BS hurdles we have to jump every step of the way – that success will give me more self-confidence than I would have had if the jour-ney had gone any other way.

We’re understandably losing self-esteem in col-lege – but we’re going to get it back and we’re going to do the amazing things we set out to do when we began. We didn’t spend those four years learning how to feel bad ourselves and make sandwiches. We spent them learning how to succeed despite all odds.

The West Virginia Moun-taineers lost their seventh football game of the season Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Just because our most popular sport is struggling this season doesn’t mean the rest of the teams are.

The women’s soccer team – arguably the strongest West Virginia team in the Big 12 Conference – made their way into the Big 12 champion-ships, with head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown at the helm. They are currently ranked No. 7 in the nation.

The Lady Mountain-eers have consistently had a strong season, winning game after game, and they won Saturday in the first NCAA game against Rutgers.

The No. 3 rifle team just ended its fall season un-defeated in nonconfer-ence matches and the Great

American Rifle Conference. They defeated No. 13 Navy Saturday in Maryland. The Mountaineers won in both smallbore and air rifle.

This season the team lost Petra Zublasing, who went to the 2012 Olympics and re-turned to bring the West Vir-ginia rifle team to a national title, as well.

At the beginning of the 2013 season, the volleyball team started off strong. Un-fortunately, they’ve started to lose confidence and their performance has suffered drastically.

These are just a few of the WVU sports teams that are performing well but are get-ting little to no recognition from the student body.

Students can attend any WVU sporting event for free, and most don’t re-quire you to request tickets beforehand.

The coaches and the play-ers appreciate any and all support from the student body, because ultimately, the University and its com-munity are who they are playing for.

It’s important for you to

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

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

for updates.No matter how poorly

one sports team seems to be doing, just remember: it’s always a good day to be a Mountaineer.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often might stray off topic and find that you are mentally distracted. Learn to eliminate distractions by handling the issue at hand. Many interesting and creative ideas emerge from your daydreaming; be sure to write them down. If you are single, romance re-mains a high priority. You are likely to see potential suitors only through rose-colored shades. If you are at-tached, use care with children, as they can be evasive at times. Your relationship benefits from sharing more with your sweetie. Develop a mutual hobby.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You will state your case or pursue a desire with intention. Those

around you could be a little confused by your words and actions. You might see doubt in their expressions, so try to understand where they are com-ing from. Tonight: Make calls and catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might feel a bit self-indulgent and go overboard. Listen to your in-stincts in a meeting or perhaps at a get-together with a friend. You will gain unexpected insights that could stop you in your tracks. Digest this perspective first, then act. Tonight: Run some errands.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You smile, and the world smiles with you. You have unusual insight into a friendship and its meaning. You can count on the unpredictability of this person, but you still will enjoy and value this bond. Tension builds

around a responsibility. Tonight: It is your call.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You might want to head in a more ap-pealing direction. Do some testing first, and consider that you might not know the whole story. You also might not have a grasp on what could hap-pen if you decide to follow an un-tried path. Tonight: Read between the lines with a boss.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Meetings will bring good results. A partner could be in disagreement, as he or she might not have heard all the details. Know that you can’t change this person’s mind. Detach and see what happens. You will learn a lot about him or her if you do. To-night: Surf the Web.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH

Pressure builds and creates a lot of nervous energy. You might wonder what to do about a situation that de-mands your attention. Others do not realize how much you do, and they will continue to be unclear until you walk away. An offer comes your way. Tonight: Busy.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH De-tach. You might wonder which way to go with an important relationship. You and this person have wanted to plan a trip for a while, so get the ball rolling. The true reason for the trip might not be what you say or think. Be honest with yourself. Tonight: Make some calls.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Deal with others directly if you want to get a reasonable response. Stop wondering what might be best to do. Ask for feedback, encourage a brain-

storming situation and move forward only when you have enough informa-tion to make a sound decision. To-night: Visit over dinner.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Defer to others, especially if you are not as sure of yourself as you normally are. Allow someone else who is more confident to take the lead, at least about the issue at hand. A child could be provocative yet endearing. You need to maintain a strong stance. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might be more focused on an idea than you realize. Someone could drop a heavy book right by you, and you would not even hear it hit the floor. Try to be present in the mo-ment, at least some of the time. Take a walk to center yourself. Tonight: The unexpected occurs.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Allow your creativity to emerge. Whether you decide to share some of your ideas will be up to you. Know that your intuition might be off about money. Avoid making agree-ments right now. An unusual phone call heads your way. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your intuition comes through regard-ing what you should do. You could feel as if some element of your life is out of control. You will make a strong presen-tation, but you might worry a lot about how you come off and the impression you make. Tonight: Head home.

Spa at The Waterfont Place Hotel hosts reopening

@dailyathEnaEum

The Spa @ The Wa-terfront Hotel reopened Thursday with an open house celebration.

The spa caught on fire last year, but is making a refreshing comeback.

The soothing music and fresh aromas coming from their product line imme-

diately calms customers as they step through the door.

During their open house they had door prizes and several packages for their facial massage line, a fa-cial package and a body package.

The spa’s fresh vibe was accompanied by a wine tasting and desserts from The Cupcakerie.

The spa’s inspiration comes from the beauty

of West Virginia’s nat-ural landscapes and its goal is to create an all-natural experience for customers. The Moun-tain State’s natural land-scape and simplicity was captured throughout the spa.

The staff gave a tour of all their service rooms, each filled with a special touch of relaxation. Even their facial products are marine based to provide

the customer with an all-natural look.

“It’s relaxing, it ’s peaceful, it’s fresh,” said Jeanne French, an esthe-tician at the spa. “I rec-ommend all of it, and you can even buy a package and spend all day getting treated.”

The spa offers a vari-ety of services including massage, facial wax, man-icures, pedicures and hair and makeup services.

There were five avail-able stations during the open house, including facials, chair massages, m a k e u p a p p l i c a t i o n and a consultation with product.

“Any of the services with our product line ev-erything being organic is really great,” said Danielle Prunty, an employee at the spa. “We are a completely natural spa and everything we have is an organic line.

I would recommend any of our services.”

The staff and services are refreshing after deal-ing with the constant rush of Morgantown.

In the middle of the hordes of bands making up today’s radio rock scene, there are a few that man-age to differentiate them-selves from the pack.

Bands like Avenged Sev-enfold shine like a beacon of hope for those who re-member a time when uni-versally admired acts like Incubus and Red Hot Chili Peppers ruled the airwaves.

The paradigm, how-ever, has shifted to rap and country, forcing us to ex-amine the artistic merits of another of today’s more popular rock acts: Five Fin-ger Death Punch.

Their newest effort, “The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2,” begins with “Here to Die.” This is a per-fect example of a Five Fin-ger Death Punch song be-cause the guitars get the palm muting going early, creating a thrash sound with slick production but are later overshadowed by the negatives.

The production might just be the most redeem-ing part of the album. The sounds are rich and thick but still machine tight.

However, Ivan Moody’s

vocals as well as his lyrics far too often ruin any prom-ise produced by the rhythm section and engineers.

He retains his signa-ture style on this release, sounding a bit like an auto-tuned incarnation of Slip-knot and Stone Sour’s Co-rey Taylor.

The straight-ahead driv-ing feel of this album can be somewhat infectious at times, but it also quickly leads to stagnation.

The second song, “Weight Beneath My Skin,” takes the thrash feel of the prior song and expands on it by adding a dance-y beat underneath. Inev-itably, it leads to another soaring sugary chorus that has Moody displaying his pipes.

Admittedly, he does have a powerful voice, but it isn’t used in a wide enough va-riety of ways for it to retain its power throughout the course of the album.

This is a band that is ei-ther uncreative during the writing process or they’ve found what they’re doing works and are sticking to the AC/DC strategy of rock music.

Whether that’s a good thing or not depends on how you feel about some-what sophomoric, pseudo- tough guy lyrics over chunky riffs.

For instance if the lyri-cal passage “I’m a mother (expletive) wrecking ball” tickles your fancy, then this rehashed and compressed

iteration of Pantera might be for you.

“Volume 2” isn’t without metal moments, but they are watered down and few and far between.

“Cradle to the Grave” features spine rattling kick drum triplets, and the in-tro to “Matter of Time” conjures up some partic-ularly vicious subdivided impacts.

Another song that’s dif-ferent enough to be note-worthy is the token ballad of the record. “Cold” starts out with a piano intro and never really matches the standard FFDP tempo and feel until guitarist Jason Hook starts soloing in at about the same point in the song that he does in seem-ingly every other one.

All this similarity might be acceptable if they were content to limit their for-mula to their own music.

However, the band just can’t seem to help stealing some of the world’s favor-ite classic rock songs right in the face with their own versions.

Like “Bad Company” be-fore it, the latest causality is The Animal’s “House of the Rising Sun.” In this cover, the location of New Or-leans has been eschewed for “Sin City.”

When it comes down to it, if you liked them before, you’ll like them now, and if you didn’t, you probably aren’t reading this anyway.

‘AN ALL-TIME LOW’

MEL MORAEs/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

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

Women’s soccer defeats Rutgers, advances to second round of tournament by meghan carr

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 7 West Virginia University women’s soccer team defeated Rutgers in the first round of the NCAA Tour-nament Saturday night after senior goalkeeper Sara Ke-ane’s penalty-kick shut out.

Saturday marked only the second time all season West Virginia was held scoreless in regulation – the first being a 2-0 loss at then-No. 7 Texas Tech Oct. 27.

The last three of Rutgers’ games came down to pen-alty kicks and Saturday night was no different, except Ke-ane wasn’t about to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

“Our coaches did a great job scouting them,” Keane said. “Their last few games went into penalty kicks, so we sort of had an advantage there. I just trusted my gut.”

For the first time since 2010, the Mountaineers ad-vance to the round of 32 in front of a crowd of 1,610, the fifth-largest crowd ever at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

“One of the pieces when you get home-field advantage is getting a big crowd behind us,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “The crowd was unbelievable. I would love to take this opportunity to tell them. All of that gold and blue

was just unbelievable tonight, and I believe that spirit just pushed us a bit.”

After a scoreless 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-min-ute overtimes, the match ended in a 0-0 draw prompt-ing penalty kicks.

The Mountaineers made the first three penalty kicks, and Keane deflected all three of Rutgers penalty kicks to give the Mountaineers the victory.

WVU outshot Rutgers 26-17 and earned a 9-7 advan-tage on shots on-goal.

Izzo-Brown said after the thrilling victory her team’s

performance wasn’t the best she’s seen, but in the end they found a way to win, and that’s what matters to her.

“I don’t think this was our best performance. It is an ex-perience moving forward be-cause we are so young. Great teams find a way to win these types of games,” Izzo-Brown said.

Senior forward Frances Silva netted the Mountain-eers’ first penalty kick, fol-lowed by freshman defender Kadeisha Buchanan, who put her team up 2-0.

Junior defender Jess

Crowder’s penalty kick proved to be all the Moun-taineers needed, as RU’s Jonelle Filigno sent the Scar-let Knights’ third penalty kick wide right.

Keane made two saves on RU’s first attempts and forced Filigno to shoot wide. She fin-ished the night in net with seven saves.

WVU had several opportu-nities on-goal Saturday night but couldn’t get anything past the Scarlet Knights’ de-fense and goalkeeper Jessica Janosz.

West Virginia’s best oppor-tunity of the first half came in the 17th minute, when fresh-man forward Ashley Law-rence, sophomore forward Kelsie Maloney and soph-omore midfielder Amanda Hill all took shots from in-side the box, but the Rutgers defense held strong, block-ing two away and forcing the third wide of the net.

The Mountaineers con-trolled the ball for most of the first half, recording 16 shots to just five from Rutgers af-ter the first 45 minutes, while also putting six shots on-goal to Rutgers’ three.

The match went back and forth throughout the second half as both teams missed quality shots.

The last time the Kan-sas Jayhawks won a game against a current member of the Big 12, Lady Gaga’s “Pa-parazzi” was the top single in the U.S., gas prices averaged $2.57 a gallon, and President Obama had been in office for just nine months.

The historic losing streak that started in October 2009 came to an end Saturday as the Jayhawks used a big day from senior running back James Sims to top West Vir-ginia 31-19 at Memorial Sta-dium in Lawrence, Kan.

“I really apologize to the 12 seniors. We got beat on all three sides of the ball. (We) got outcoached (and) got outplayed,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“This is different than the Big East. The days of just showing up and playing at a very marginal level, whether

its effort, execution, coaching or talent, you can’t show up and be average and win.”

Sims rushed for a career-high 211 yards on 22 carries and added three touchdowns on the day.

“We’ve stopped the run ev-ery week. It was very disap-pointing in the first half not to stop the run. The game is won and lost up front 90 per-cent of the time. Their O-line whipped us,” Holgorsen said.

“Not to take anything away from Sims. He’s a good back. He’s one of their all-time leading rushers and has been a great player here for them over the last couple years.”

After a six-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game West Virginia’s offense went silent as the Jayhawks dominated the flow of the game from that point on.

“We went out there and started fast on offense and scored, then the defense went out there and just laid down. Defensively, we didn’t

play with very much energy,” Holgorsen said.

“Our offense has relied on the defense the whole year, and when they saw the de-fense giving up points I think our offense got (shaken up). It was another losing per-formance from our offense which I take full responsibility for.”

Quarterback Paul Millard finished 23-for-42 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

He made one critical mis-take, throwing an intercep-tion to linebacker Ben Good-man in the third quarter that gave Kansas the ball at the West Virginia 14-yard line.

The Jayhawks converted when Sims took the ball into the end zone from two yards out to give Kansas a 24-7 lead.

“We had the ball on the plus 40 and we couldn’t do anything. We managed a first down and then Paul threw a pick. (Kansas) sensed they could win and they out-exe-

cuted us, played harder and out-coached us,” Holgorsen said.

With the loss, West Vir-ginia’s record drops to 4-7, ensuring this will be the first time since 2001 the Mountaineers have not qualified for a bowl game.

“I guess this would be an all-time low (for Hol-gorsen). Not to take any-thing away from Kansas, they’ve been close. Where do we go from here? I don’t know. I was planning on go-ing to a bowl game. We’ve got to continue program development,”Holgorsen said.

“Our program is not equipped right now to han-dle the wear and tear of the Big 12. I’m not blaming any-thing on injuries. That’s just part of the game. Right now we’re not where we need to be.”

WVU hits rock bottom

West Virginia’s first two seasons in the Big 12 have been rocky at best, but the Mountaineers reached a new low Saturday in Law-rence, Kan.

With a bowl game and a potential winning season on the line, WVU looked more like a defeated team when they were inexplicably rolled over by the lowly Jay-hawks in Kansas’ first con-ference win in three com-plete seasons.

One of the most disap-pointing aspects of Satur-day’s game was after de-feating the now 9-1, No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys and competing with pe-rennial conference powers Oklahoma and Texas earlier in the season, West Virginia seemed to regress substan-tially in almost every facet against Kansas.

The Mountaineers played their worst game since the Maryland shutout in Week 3.

That’s extremely unset-tling because it brings into question just how much this WVU team has actually im-proved since being pounded 37-0 by the Terps that rainy Saturday in late September.

Those who are familiar with WVU football knew 2013 would be a rebuilding year.

There was no way to im-mediately overcome the loss of talent and experience at the major offensive skill positions.

Although first-year defen-sive coordinator Keith Pat-terson’s defense looks like a completely different unit from 2012, the Mountain-eers still haven’t been able to consistently stop the run, which is an absolute must for any program seeking consistent success.

Now, after such a pro-gram-rattling defeat, it’s en-tirely possible WVU’s re-building phase is back to square one.

Think about it, how much have the Mountaineers ac-tually rebuilt this season? How much of that effort was destroyed Saturday in Lawrence?

From a confidence stand-point, it’s hard to imagine how it could get much worse for WVU.

The Mountaineers know the hourglass on their sea-son has been flipped, offi-cially ending their 11-con-secutive bowl game streak.

For WVU’s seniors, the fall from grace has been espe-cially disheartening.

After winning a BCS bowl in 2010, those left from the historic Orange Bowl vic-tory will suit up for the last time to play before a po-tentially empty Milan Pus-kar Stadium in a meaning-less game.

Unfortunately, on top of everything else, the pros-pects for WVU football’s im-mediate future really don’t appear much brighter.

The Mountaineers will lose its most productive and explosive offensive playmaker Charles Sims to the NFL, while poten-tially retaining three quar-terbacks who have com-bined for roughly half of Geno Smith passed in 2012.

Junior college transfers like Kevin White and Mario Alford, two of WVU’s most promising receiving threats this year, will already be in their senior seasons when they return in 2014.

Head coach Dana Hol-gorsen’s recent postgame remarks may be the most damning condemnation of all.

Following this most re-cent loss, the third-year head coach told reporters he doesn’t believe his team is equipped to compete in the Big 12 at this point.

Injuries have afflicted every team in the confer-ence, but WVU’s lack of depth has brought the pro-gram to its knees in the fi-nal weeks of the regular season.

According to Holgorsen, the only way to change is to continue to build.

But West Virginia fans are clearly near-ing the end of their ropes with excuses for the mediocrity.

One last thing: As if WVU didn’t already have a steep enough climb back to rele-vance already, don’t forget the Mountaineers will take the field against back-to-back national champion Al-abama in a mere 284 days.

Hang in there West Vir-ginia fans.

West Virginia beats Duquesne, improves to 2-1by JOe miTchin

sports writer @daily athenaeum

Eron Harris’ career-high 33 points led the Mountain-eers to a 96-83 victory over Duquesne Sunday at the WVU Coliseum.

Harris bested his 25-point performance in 2012-13 against Baylor in the victory.

The sophomore guard hit six 3-point shots and went 12-of-19 from the field. Harris also added six re-bounds and an assist for the Mountaineers.

“I’m going to just take it game by game,” Harris said. “I’m not even thinking about my points. I’m just attacking when I can attack and taking advantage of mismatches.”

West Virginia shot 58.9 percent on the day – its best shooting performance yet this year.

Senior guard Juwan Staten added a career-high 28 points and led the team with nine assists.

The Mountaineers grabbed an early lead after two quick jumpers by fresh-man forward Devin Williams in the opening minutes.

WVU led by as many as 11 points in the first half, putting the Dukes in an 11-point hole at the 5-minute mark in the first half.

Williams displayed his best performance yet Sun-day night.

The freshman Cincinnati native earned his first career double-double, scoring 18 points and ripping down 10 rebounds.

“We know that (Williams) will continue to get better,” Staten said. “He’s not even scoring the ball inside like we know he can.”

WVU led 49-43 at the half after Duquense’s Micah Ma-son converted on a four-point play with just a second left.

The Dukes clawed their way back and didn’t go away for much of the contest. They tied the game on two occa-sions in the second half.

West Virginia finally pulled away with less than five minutes remaining when Harris and sophomore Terry Henderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to extend WVU’s lead to 81-71.

“I’m happy we won,” said head coach Bob Huggins.

“We had it going our way, but they cut it to six at half time. Then (Duquense) came out and make a little run to start the second half. I’ve seen that picture before. I don’t like it much.”

Henderson had a leg in-jury that kept him out of the action in the first two games of the season.

He played a season-high 27 minutes, scoring seven points Sunday.

Duquesne fell to 1-2 for the 2013-14 season. The Dukes were led by cen-ter Ovie Soko, who scored 19 points and added 10 re-bounds. Mason finished with 18 off the bench. Duquesne shot 45 percent from the field, but turned over the ball 16 times and committed 26 fouls.

The Mountaineers return to the court Thursday when they host Georgia Southern at the WVU Coliseum at 7 p.m.

Volleyball sweeps Horned Frogs 3-0by JOn fehrenS

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volley-ball team’s offense returned to regular form against TCU Saturday afternoon.

Head coach Jill Kram-er’s team posted negative hitting clips in their previ-ous two matches, but they responded by sweeping the Horned Frogs 3-0 (17-25, 25-27,20-25) in the WVU Coliseum.

Saturday’s win makes the most wins in a single season since 2004 for the Mountain-eers, who are now just one win shy of the most victories in a season since 1991.

“The most important thing for me with this match is that it was a complete turnaround from Wednes-day,” Kramer said. “Regard-less of who we were playing, I wanted our group to get back on track. I can’t tell you enough how proud of them I am. They regrouped and took a lot of responsibility for what was going on, and fixed on, and fixed it.”

The Mountaineers’ effort

proved to be too much for TCU.

Outside hitters Jordan An-derson and Hannah Sack-ett recorded 13 and 15 kills respectively.

Junior middle blocker Evyn McCoy had her best game since injuring her an-kle with 12 kills and four blocks, while setter Brittany Sample dished out 38 assists.

Anderson also recorded 12 digs, which marks her 10th double-double of the season.

“A lot of it has to do with

the effort put in from ev-eryone involved in the pro-gram. From players, to our immediate staff to our sup-port staff. We’ve got peo-ple here who believe in our team,” Kramer said. “(The) Mountaineer nation is now behind volleyball, and that just changes everything.”

The first set opened with both teams trading points, but the Mountaineers even-tually broke off into a 7-0 run, putting WVU up 10-4. Strong serving from sopho-more libero Anna Panagio-

takopoulos and Anderson’s five kills clinched the first set 25-17.

The Horned Frogs looked like they were to control in the second set when they led at 16-11, but the Mountain-eers stormed a comeback behind Panagiotakopoulos’ serving.

The sophomore led her team on a 6-0 run, eventually tying the contest at 25-25. A kill from Sackett and a block from McCoy clinched the set and put the Mountain-eers up 2-0 in the match.

Four different players re-corded at least three kills in

the set while the Mountain-eers hit .308 as a team. WVU clinched the final set 20-25 to sweep its 10th opponent of the season.

The Mountaineers gained some ground in the Big 12 Conference and will hit the road to take on No. 1 Texas Thursday.

It will be another long week of travel as the team travels to Austin, Texas, Nov. 21 and then to Waco, Texas, to take on Baylor Saturday.

Mountaineers find success in Hawaii by keVin hOOker

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s basketball team had a suc-cessful weekend in Honolulu at the Bank of Hawaii Rain-bow Wahine Classic.

West Virginia outscored Ole Miss 45-21 Friday in the first half, en route to an 86-56 victory.

Four players scored in dou-ble figures, led by guard Tay-lor Palmer who scored 17 points in 24 minutes off the bench.

WVU shot 53.1 percent in the first half, closing out the game at 47.6 percent from the field, which included eight 3-pointers.

“I was happy to see 18 as-sists – that was big for us – it meant we moved the ball pretty well,” said head coach

Mike Carey. “We had a lot of points off the bench. I think (our team) can do that every time.”

The Mountaineers out re-bounded the Rebels 52-43, which included a game-high eight from center Aysa Bussie.

WVU opened the game on a 16-6 run, with points com-ing from Bussie, Christal Caldwell, Averee Fields and Bria Holmes.

The Rebels were held to only five field goals in the first half, shooting 16 percent and going 0-for-13 from 3-point range.

Holmes and Caldwell each recorded 16 points, a career high for Holmes.

“The biggest thing is we hit a couple shots,” Carey said. “Any time you can hit eight three’s (pointers) that stretches the zone out a little bit (farther).”

Bussie had a game-leading 25 points to pave the way to an 88-66 victory over Washing-ton State Saturday.

“Overall we did a nice job of cutting down the lane,” Carey said. “Asya Bussie – what can you say – she dominated the paint. She had a terrific game and is only going to get better.”

She was three rebounds short of a double-double, shooting 90 percent from the field and 70 percent from the free throw line.

Caldwell added 19 points and two 3-pointers, while Palmer and forward Crystal Leary chipped in with nine points. Leary led all play-ers with right rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench.

“The things (Leary) did de-fensively and offensively. We can’t go without mention-ing her,” Carey said. “(Bus-sie) does an excellent job of

presenting herself. She sealed very well, and our girls were doing an excellent job of get-ting (the ball) over the top to her. I thought our girls came out and executed and did what we had to do.”

The Mountaineers shot 56.4 percent from the floor in Saturday’s match including four 3-pointers and 73.3 per-cent from the free throw line.

Washington State had 22 giveaways in the game, which led to 27 points for the Moun-taineers. WVU also won the battle on the boards, out re-bounding the Cougars 34-25. Washington State was limited to just 20 points in the paint – 26 less than the Mountaineers.

The Mountaineers return home Sunday to take on Vir-ginia at 4 p.m.

69th minute. The ball was sent to the middle when Bri-anne Reed headed it straight towardw the goal, but Keane deflected the attempt over the crossbar.

In the 88th minute soph-omore Maloney took a deep cross from sophomore Cari Price just outside the box when Maloney cut inside

sending the ball near a far post, but Janosz made a div-ing save and sent the game into overtime.

With five minutes left in the second overtime, Silva ripped a shot from the right top of the box, but it went wide.

RU Janosz finished with nine saves tonight.

The Mountaineers take on No. 1-seeded Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., Friday at 6 p.m.
