BY ANN COMPTON STAFF WRITER Suzan Shown Harjo has spent her life educating people about Native Americans. Tuesday evening, Harjo gave a lecture titled “Protecting and Re- specting Our Ancestors and the Making of the National Museum of the American Indian” at West Virginia University as part of the Native American Studies Elder- in-Residence program. “Within native nations there are people who hold the wisdom and experience, and they are re- vered as teachers and wise peo- ple,” said Bonnie Brown, coordi- nator of Native American studies. “So here at West Virginia Univer- sity, every year, we invite some- one to come and be a guest elder in our community.” Brown considers it a good time for students to see and hear diverse perspectives, as el- ders come from nations all over the country with different tribal practices. “Suzan Shown Harjo has a re- sume that could easily span over 20 pages,” Brown said. “She has an enormous amount of expe- rience and experiences. She’s a mover and a shaker, and when we asked her to be our Elder-in- Residence and she accepted, we were thrilled.” Harjo spoke of how Native Americans are the only group in the United States who are not al- lowed to protect their sacred, re- ligious places, because they are often not granted rights to that land. “is is an outrage. It should outrage everyone that anyone’s religious freedom should be so unheeded,” Harjo said. “Our most religious, traditional people do nothing but go to these places of power and pray. And they don’t just pray for the Dako- tas or the Cheyenne’s. ey pray for a good day for everyone.” Harjo also shared her experi- ences with the 1990 Native Amer- ican Graves Protection and Repa- triation Act. In 1965, she said, she visited the Museum of the American In- dian in New York and saw “hor- rible things - mummies and shrunken heads” and her mother opened a drawer and saw clothes that she thought she had made to bury her grandfather in. Harjo herself saw a “small buckskin dress that was made for a Chey- enne girl and had a bullet hole where (the girl’s) belly had been, with a rust circle around it, signi- fying a painful death” . “I was visited by that girl who wore that dress in a dream that night, and she very simply said, ‘I’ll walk this way until my spir- its return.’ And I dreamt about her for decades,” Harjo said. “Not a full dream about her, but she would just be there, sitting on a tree, in that beautiful buck- skin dress before it had the bul- let hole in it.” Harjo said she dreamed of the little girl until legislation that cre- ated the National Museum for the American Indian and had provi- sions for the reparation act with the Smithsonian had passed. “And when I noticed she wasn’t there anymore, I thought, okay, she didn’t need me to do that particular job anymore,” she said. Melissa Pearson, senior nurs- ing major and president of the Or- ganization for Native American Interests, attended the lecture. “I absolutely loved it. I think in our schools, a lot of us were not taught hardly any Native Amer- ican history,” she said. “We see them as past tense, and we barely think of them as present, and it’s important because this issue is going to come up all over the United States, not just here.” Brittany Yeager, a junior foren- sic science major and member of ONAI, agreed. “It’s important to know that Native Americans were here be- fore us and how they help us move forward, and it’s important to know our pasts and our ances- tors,” she said. Bambi Bevill, a senior regents Bachelor of Arts major, said that Harjo’s lecture was very personal to her. “I think everybody has some- thing or someone or some- place that is important to them, whether it’s their home or their T HE D AILY A THENAEUM “Little good is accomplished without controversy, and no civic evil is ever defeated without publicity.” WEDNESDAY APRIL 14, 2010 VOLUME 123, ISSUE 136 www.THEDAONLINE.com www da 69° / 42° SUMMER INSIDE News: 1, 2, 3 Opinion: 4 A&E: 5, 7 Sports: 8, 9 Campus Calendar: 6 Puzzles: 6 Classifieds: 10, 11 CONTACT US Newsroom 304-293-5092 or [email protected] Advertising 304-293-4141 or [email protected] Fax 304-293-6857 The NCAA has been to Morgantown to speak with officials in the West Virginia football program, apparently over former coach Rich Ro- driguez’s practice regimen.

A&E PAGE 5 GET ‘REAL’ City changes definition of ‘family’ BY SAMANTHA COSSICK STAFF WRITER West Virginia University stu- dents could have difficulty find- ing housing based on a change in the Morgantown code that de- fines “family.” The code originally allowed up to three unrelated people to live in R1 or R1A residential dis- tricts, such as South Park. With the amended code, only two un- related people can do so. “We’re trying to encourage (family) type of living arrange- ments in the residential areas and trying to direct more of the stu- dent life into the Sunnyside and the downtown area to enhance the living for both parties,” said Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne. Under the code, residents would have to prove they are a “functional family,” not just three students who decide to rent a place, Byrne said. However, the residents will be looked at on a case-by-case ba- sis, he said. For instance, a functional fam- ily with two foster children who are not related to them could still prove they are a functional fam- ily, Byrne said. In the past, people often bought houses and converted them into student living or rental units to make money, decreasing the value of the residential neigh- borhood, he said. When three unrelated peo- ple rented a house in residen- tial districts they lived a “student lifestyle” with friends over, stay- ing up later and playing music louder, Byrne said. e new code is trying to en- courage student lifestyles to take place in certain areas, he said. “I think everybody thinks this is a pretty good idea because it sort of recognizes that we want to really work hard to preserve owner occupied neighborhoods,” Byrne said. “With Sunnyside Up and qual- ity rentals downtown, we’re try- ing to get students closer to the campus and within walking dis- tance of the campus and in areas more suited for student life.” Students already living with three or more unrelated people in R1 or R1A districts will not be affected by the new code because they are “grandfathered” in. Some students feel the new code is unfair to them, however. “I don’t think it’s a very good idea because a lot of students won’t find a place to live,” said sophomore advertising major Allyson Nedzbala. Nedzbala said the city should work on providing more living in the areas they want students to live. Although she doesn’t currently live with several unrelated peo- ple, she had planned to do so next year with a couple of friends. “Whenever I do look for a house … it’s going to severely limit the places where I can live,” Nedzbala said. Sophomore criminology ma- jor Korey Flinton said moving stu- dents to the Sunnyside or down- town areas will just increase the number of riots already seen there. If the city does want students to live there, they should focus on improving the housing and park- ing in the area, he said. Kody Leonard, a sophomore criminology major, agreed with Flinton, stating that it’s just going to push people to the High State area and make it worse. Areas like South Park are “ex- tremely convenient areas for stu- dents to live,” Leonard said. Brittney Orwick, a sophomore animal sciences and nutrition major, also opposes moving stu- dents downtown. “People don’t want to live where all the parties are going on,” she said. [email protected] Third B&E dean candidate visits BY TRAVIS CRUM STAFF WRITER e third of seven dean can- didates for the College of Busi- ness & Economics, McRae Banks, visited West Virginia University Monday. During his visit, Banks spoke to the WVU community in two ses- sions aimed at staff and faculty. Building a collaboration between schools and increasing WVU’s knowledge of the global economy topped the list of changes Banks would implement as dean. Sixteen College of B&E staff members met with Banks in a session to discuss his manage- ment style and why he wants the position. Banks said the first big change would be collaboration between schools. Collaboration would cre- ate a wealth of technology and in- novation within the programs, he said. “Employers tell us we can find plenty of people who understand engineering and business, but finding those that can do both is hard,” Banks said. “We’re not building a niche program, but we’re building the future pro- gram everyone else wants.” WVU has a unique opportu- nity for collaboration because all the schools are on the same cam- pus, he said. For example, other universities have their college of medicines miles away on differ- ent campuses, he said. Creating space within the Col- lege of B&E for more students and creating new programs to attract incoming freshmen will bring more money to the college, he said. Lana Cantoni, administrative assistant to the dean, said during the session the College of B&E needs someone to step in and of- fer leadership. “You have the perfect opportu- nity here. We have the president, the provost, and now we need a dean,” Cantoni said. “e sky’s the limit with what you could do for the school.” Banks said one of the first things he would do while in office would be to meet with the admin- istration and faculty members to discuss its needs to develop a plan. WVU’s role in the global econ- omy was the focus of the faculty session attended by 17 members. Banks said it is important for the College of B&E graduates to un- derstand other countries and how they operate. NAACP hosts session on health care reform BY SARAH O’ROURKE CORRESPONDENT West Virginia University’s Col- legiate Chapter of the NAACP held an informative session Tuesday night to discuss the leg- islation of the new health care reform and its effects on stu- dents and their futures. e presentation covered the principles of the health care re- form, who will pay for the reform and what the reform means for families, unionized workers, in- surance companies, doctors, hospitals and small businesses. After the presentation, stu- dents and the executive mem- bers of the WVU National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People discussed and debated aspects of the reform and asked questions concern- ing the new law. “It is important to educate people about health care,” said Lauren Collins, a senior interna- tional relations major and WVU NAACP secretary. “It is a hotly debated topic today.” Collins said the new health care reform will guarantee af- fordable health care for every- one, and it will include 10 princi- ples drafted by President Barack Obama and the more than 190 members of Congress. “I feel it can be a really great thing for America,” Collins said. “It is unfair that how much money you make could dictate how healthy you are, and I hope the health care reform rectifies the unfairness in the system.” Under the new health care law, an inclusive program leav- ing no one out will be adopted. Families and individuals can choose between private and public health insurance without discrepancies in coverage costs, and the government will serve as a “watchdog” over health in- surance providers, Collins said. Collins said she believes the fact health insurance payments will be based off how much in- come you make is the most im- portant piece in the new health care reform law.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Tuesday his of-fi ce had launched an investiga-tion into the fi nances of a state university foundation and the al-leged dumping of documents re-lated to Sarah Palin’s upcoming speech at the school.
Brown also intends to look into whether the California State University, Stanislaus Founda-tion violated public disclosure laws.
“Th is is not about Sarah Pa-lin,” Brown said in a prepared statement. “The issues are public disclosure and finan-cial accountability in organi-zations embedded in state-run universities.”
Matt Swanson, president of the foundation board, did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment about the investigation.
Palin is scheduled to speak at a June 25 gala hosted by the foundation to mark the univer-
sity’s 50th anniversary.Jason Recher, a spokesman for
Palin, did not immediately re-turn a call seeking comment.
Th e investigation came after students at the school retrieved fi ve pages of the contract with Palin last week from a campus trash bin after hearing adminis-trators might be shredding it.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who has been seek-ing details of Palin’s compensa-tion package for several weeks, released copies of the paperwork earlier in the day.
Among the perks laid out in the contract, the former Alaska governor will fl y fi rst class from Anchorage to California — if she flies commercial. If not, “the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger ...,” the contract specifi es.
Palin also must be provided with a suite and two single rooms in a deluxe hotel near the campus in Turlock in the Central Valley. During her speech, her lectern
must be stocked with two water bottles and bendable straws.
Th e document, dated March 16, does not include compensa-tion details for Palin, who com-mands speaking fees as high as $100,000. Her appearance at the university gala is expected to draw a large crowd, with tickets selling for $500 each.
Palin’s fee and accommoda-tions will be covered entirely by private donations, not state funds, Swanson said earlier in the day.
Th e students who found the document said they acted on a tip that documents were being shredded when campus staff members were supposed to be on furlough.
“I was informed that there was suspicious activity taking place at the administration building, which I found very alarming,” said 23-year-old Ashli Briggs, a junior at the school.
Briggs contacted senior Alicia Lewis, 26, who went with several
other students to investigate. Th e building was locked and gated, but the students were able to re-trieve piles of paperwork, includ-ing the contract document, from a nearby trash bin, Lewis said.
On Tuesday, Briggs and Lewis gave Brown’s offi ce material they said came from the trash bins, including two boxes of docu-ments and two trash bags fi lled with shredded fi les.
Th e contract pages have Wash-ington Speakers Bureau printed at the top and a contract number. Th e speakers bureau did not im-mediately respond to a request for comment.
Yee called the incident “a dark day for the CSU.”
“Th is is our little Watergate in the state of California,” he said Tuesday at a news conference where he was joined by Briggs and Lewis.
Russell Giambelluca, the uni-versity’s vice president of busi-ness and fi nance, said no one at the university was advised
to destroy specifi c foundation documents, and staff members routinely shred and dispose of paperwork that is no longer needed.
Regarding the excerpt of Pa-lin’s contract, he said: “I fi nd it interesting that among shredded documents you fi nd one that’s completely intact related to the contract.”
Th e CSU Stanislaus Founda-tion previously denied the AP’s request to release details of Pa-lin’s contract under the Califor-nia Public Records Act.
Last week, the university re-sponded to a similar public re-cords request by Yee by saying it did not have any documents related to Palin’s appearance and had referred the matter to Swanson.
Th e next day, Swanson sent letters to both Yee and the AP stating that Palin’s contract in-cludes a strict nondisclosure clause. University foundations and other auxiliary organizations
were not subject to the same public records requirements as the university itself, he said.
“At this point, we believe it’s within our legal right to keep that information to ourselves,” Swanson said before Brown’s an-nouncement. He called the latest dust-up “a little bit ridiculous.”
Yee disputes the claim, point-ing to significant overlap be-tween the university and its foundation arm. For example, he noted, all but one member of the foundation staff and several offi -cers from its board are university employees, and the foundation headquarters is located in the administration building where the students said the document shredding was taking place.
To eliminate any legal loop-holes, Yee is sponsoring a bill that would require campus founda-tions and auxiliary organizations to adhere to public records re-quirements. Th e measure passed the Senate in January and awaits an Assembly hearing.
California to investigate group behind Palin speech
BOSTON (AP) — When the Tea Party Express pulls into the city where the conservative move-ment got its name, the crowd will be as notable for who is not there as who is.
Sarah Palin is the keynote speaker at Wednesday’s rally on Boston Common, but Republican Sen. Scott Brown – whose January election the movement claims as its proudest accomplishment – is skipping the event.
Offi cially, he’s too busy with his congressional duties – but Brown also kept the movement at a re-spectful distance during his up-set campaign to succeed the late Democrat Edward M. Kennedy.
If he gets too close, the fresh-man senator, who’s still getting used to his national profi le, risks being aligned with the tea par-ty’s more radical elements, which have questioned the legitimacy of everything from President Ba-rack Obama’s U.S. birthplace to his college degree.
“His ‘business in Congress’ is getting re-elected in 2012, and to do that, he needs to present a moderate image. Going to a tea party rally is about the last thing he needs,” said Jeff rey Berry, a po-litical science professor at Brown’s alma mater, Tufts University.
“Brown doesn’t want to turn his back on his potential support-ers, but he doesn’t want any pho-tographs in the midst of an overly enthusiastic or bombastic event,” the professor added.
Even one of those who is go-ing, independent gubernatorial candidate Timothy Cahill, a for-mer Democrat, was careful to parse the meaning behind his attendance.
“He’s in campaign mode. He’s going to go where there’s mass groups of people,” said Cahill spokeswoman Amy Birmingham.
The rally, being held in the shadow of the Statehouse on Bos-ton Common, is forecast to attract
10,000 people. It will be the next-to-last event in the 20-day, 47-city Tea Party Express tour conclud-ing Th ursday in Washington.
Palin spoke on the fi rst day in Searchlight, Nev., hometown of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democratic target of the movement. Her visit to Boston brings her to the site of the origi-nal Tea Party in 1773, where Brit-ish opponents rallied against tax-ation without representation.
Two others are embracing the modern tea party movement, which questions the Wash-ington establishment, without reservation.
Conservative talk show host Michael Reagan, son of Repub-lican icon Ronald Reagan, spoke Tuesday at a tea party rally in Jef-ferson City, Mo. He told a crowd of about 400 that liberals and pro-gressives are like “termites who eat away at the foundation” of freedom in the U.S. by imposing more government control.
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman was headlining at a tea party rally Tuesday night in his own capital city, Lincoln. Tea partiers also ral-lied Tuesday in Albany, N.Y.
A Brown spokesman said the senator will be in Washing-ton on Wednesday, attending to the business for which he was elected. Congress just returned after a two-week recess, during which Brown traveled to Afghani-stan and toured fl ood-stricken ar-eas of Massachusetts.
“While he is unable to attend Wednesday’s event, the senator appreciates the strong grassroots support he received from a wide range of individuals, including those who are part of the tea party movement. He hopes they have a successful event,” spokesman Co-lin Reed said in a statement.
Th e extent to which tea par-tiers factored into Brown’s win over Democrat Martha Coakley can’t be measured, since there was no exit polling. But his vic-tory in a traditionally Demo-cratic state, with an anti-Obama message echoing tea party com-plaints about the administration’s spending and health care over-haul, have made him a move-ment darling.
Brown spoke a year ago at two tea party Tax Day protests in Mas-sachusetts. His campaign also hosted a breakfast in early Jan-uary for local tea party activists. But amid concerns about some of the tea party’s positions, Brown kept his embrace loose and made a point of saying he wasn’t sure whether activists from the move-ment had attended his rallies.

Increasing funding for confer-ences abroad and allowing stu-dents to complete their Master of Business Administration in other countries are ways to help global-ize WVU, Banks said.
The session was an excel-lent way for faculty to discuss its needs with each candidate said Scott Fleming, assistant professor of accounting. Fleming said so far each candidate has had strengths and weaknesses.
“It’s up to us to evaluate their strengths and then com-

During the speech, Morgan-town Mayor Bill Byrne drew at-tention to the city’s relatively low unemployment rate of nearly 6 percent.
“Th e key to Morgantown’s suc-cess is not a secret,” Lacker said. “If you compare the composition of economic activity in Morgan-town to the rest of the state, the rest of the country, you’ll fi nd that a larger share is in the gov-ernment sector.”
Among the state’s government employers are West Virginia Uni-versity, the FBI Information Ser-vices Division and NASA.
“Th e fact that those are such a large fraction of activity here has really helped Morgantown weather the storm,” he said.
Lacker also noted during his speech a recent study by the WWVU Bureau of Business and Economic Research that forecast job growth in the second half of the year.
He said he “fully endorsed” the report, saying it was in line with national economic outlooks.

Michelle Obama visits earthquake-ravaged HaitiPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) —
First lady Michelle Obama made a surprise visit Tuesday to the ru-ins of the Haitian capital, a high-profi le reminder that hundreds of thousands remain in desper-ate straits three months after the earthquake.
Th e fi rst lady and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, took a helicopter tour of Port-au-Prince, where many people are still homeless, before landing at the destroyed national palace to meet President Rene Preval.
Th ey later talked with students whose lives have been upended by the disaster and walked along a vast, squalid encampment of families living under bed sheets and tents.
“It’s powerful,” Obama told re-porters. “Th e devastation is defi -nitely powerful.”
A number of past and present world leaders have visited since the earthquake, including for-mer presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
But few have the star power here of the American fi rst lady, whose husband is widely popu-
lar in Haiti and throughout the Caribbean.
“It was important for Jill and I to come now because we’re at the point where the relief eff orts are under way, but the attention of the world starts to wane a bit,” she said. “As we enter the rainy season and the hurricane season ... the issues are just going to be-come more compounded.”
Th e U.S. government histor-ically has had a troubled rela-tionship with Haiti, occupying the country for nearly two de-cades early in the 20th century and later backing brutal dic-tators, but many Haitians are grateful for the aid and security that the U.S. has provided since the earthquake.
Th e U.S. has provided nearly $1 billion in humanitarian aid and pledged more than $1 bil-lion in additional aid to the im-poverished country.
Obama and Biden’s visit is in-tended to underscore U.S. com-mitment to the Haitian recon-struction effort and to thank American officials who have worked in the country for the
past three months, the adminis-tration said in a statement.
It is Obama’s fi rst solo trip as fi rst lady, and she will visit Mex-ico next, said spokeswoman Katherine McCormick-Lelyveld. Haiti was included when the
trip was planned a month ago but not announced for security reasons.
The first lady praised U.N. peacekeepers and the Haitian people for their strength and re-siliency during the quake and its
aftermath. Building part of her speech around a Haitian prov-erb, “little by little the bird makes its nest,” she assured the audi-ence that the U.S. will stand with them during reconstruction.
“Little by little Haiti will move forward,” she said in a speech to U.N. peacekeepers and workers for humanitarian groups gath-ered at the U.N. base. “Little by little we’re going to keep making tomorrow better than today.”
Obama smiled and waved her way through the wrecked center of Haiti’s capital.
After greeting Preval with a kiss at the crushed national pal-ace, she set off with Biden and Haiti’s fi rst lady, Elisabeth De-brosse Preval to a post-quake child care center where 450 boys and girls are participating in art therapy classes in converted city buses donated from Santo Domingo.
Obama jumped, danced and clapped with the singing chil-dren. Th en the delegation en-tered one of the green buses for a painting session. Biden made a blue house, Preval a green and
yellow sun. Obama painted a purple fi sh in the ocean.
“It was a request, the kids asked me to,” she said. Th e chil-dren’s paintings were harder to read, a mix of letters and symbols. Asked what they represented, Obama said “their lives.”
People were eager for a glimpse of the fi rst ladies at the huge Champ de Mars camp – and hopeful that they would be seen as well.
“Make sure you get a good look at us,” a man living in the camp yelled at a passing press bus.
Michelle Obama said she felt that Haitians deeply appreciated the outpouring of help from the international community, but some Haitians felt more could be done.
Frenel Pierre, who was living in a tent pitched on the grounds of a collapsed school with her husband and six children, said they needed more food and water.
“I hope this visit will bring us help because they’ve brought us practically nothing,” she said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Joe Manchin on Tuesday asked a former top federal mine safety of-fi cial to independently investigate an explosion that killed 29 West Virginia miners and also called for more scrutiny of mines with a history of safety violations.
Manchin told Th e Associated Press that J. Davitt McAteer, who headed the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration during the Clinton administration, will probe the blast at Massey En-ergy’s Upper Big Branch mine and be his special adviser on the matter.
McAteer’s probe will be inde-pendent of separate state and federal investigations, and he’ll focus on what actions should be taken to prevent such explosions in the future.
“I want a transparent third party, that’s not attached in any
way, shape or form,” Manchin said.
McAteer conducted similar probes of the Sago mine disas-ter that killed 12 and the Ara-coma Alma No. 1 mine fi re that killed two miners. He told AP he expects to focus on the apparent failure of systems meant to pre-vent such a disaster: the spray-ing of powdered rock to dilute ex-plosive coal dust; the venting of methane gas; and safety condi-tions before miners begin each shift.
Also Tuesday, federal mine safety officials said Upper Big Branch should have received a warning letter in October about a potential pattern of safety vio-lations, but a computer program that screens for violation patterns failed to include eight citations at the mine.
If they had been included,
MSHA would have notified the mine and given the oper-ator 90 days to improve safety conditions.
MSHA director Joe Main told AP that the mine had reduced its violations by more than 60 per-cent anyway and the error didn’t have an impact on the tragedy.
But the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., and two other lawmakers called for an immediate investigation by the Labor Department’s inspec-tor general into the computer error. Reps. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., and Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., joined Miller in calling the mis-take “deeply disturbing.”
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was to meet Th ursday with federal labor and mine safety offi cials to discuss preliminarily what may have caused the blast.
Investigators still don’t know what ignited the worst U.S. coal mine disaster in four decades, but offi cials believe highly explosive methane was involved.
Congress is also convening hearings later this month to look at weaknesses in federal mine safety legislation and whether the system encourages operators to challenge safety violations and delay penalties.
Since the April 5 explosion, de-tails have emerged about an ex-tensive list of safety violations at the mine. Th e company has been repeatedly cited and fi ned for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up.
According to an Associated Press review of records from MSHA, Richmond, Va.-based Massey frequently sidesteps hefty fi nes by aggressively contesting
violations, an increasingly com-mon industry tactic since the 2006 Sago mine disaster led to stiff er penalties.
Massey CEO Don Blankenship has defended the company’s re-cord and disputed accusations from miners that he puts profi ts ahead of safety. He has said the number of violations at Upper Big Branch are about the same as the national average.
Manchin said he wanted state regulators to target problems in-volving methane gas, coal dust levels, poor ventilation and elec-trical issues.
“Right now, we need to make sure that the rules are being com-plied with. I can’t sit back and as-sume anymore,” Manchin said.
Th e governor said he wanted to review state law to make sure West Virginia offi cials are able to shut down unsafe mines and or-
der immediate fi xes without any delays.
Records show the mine was cited for 44 violations during its most recent state inspection April 1, most of them involving electri-cal problems and ventilation.
West Virginia is the second largest coal producing state in the nation and disasters in its coal-fi elds have shaped U.S. coal mine safety laws.
Th e deaths at the Sago and Aracoma mines brought about a series of safety reforms, but as coal companies spent more than $1 billion on new measures, the equipment did nothing to save the lives of those at Upper Big Branch.
Th e problem was the reforms were focused almost exclusively on sustaining trapped miners long enough to rescue them, not on preventing explosions.
Ex-mine offi cial to lead probe of West Virginia blast MONTCOAL MINE DISASTER
WASHINGTON (AP) — A com-puter error prevented the West Virginia coal mine where 29 work-ers died in an explosion last week from receiving a warning about safety violations and a demand that the operator improve condi-tions in 90 days, federal offi cials said Tuesday.
Th e director of the Mine Safety and Health Administration said the error discovered Monday night did not have an impact on the accident at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch mine because improvements had been made even without the warning.
But the chairman of the House Education and Labor Commit-tee, Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., and two other lawmakers called for an immediate investigation by the Labor Department’s inspec-tor general into the computer error. Reps. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., and Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., joined Miller in calling the mis-take “deeply disturbing.”
A computer program used by the MSHA screens mines for pat-terns of violations. By failing to in-
clude eight citations at the Upper Big Branch mine, the program did not fl ag the mine for a safety noti-fi cation and an order for improve-ments, MSHA Director Joe Main told Th e Associated Press.
When officials reviewed the data, according to Main, it turned out that the mine had dramat-ically reduced its violations by nearly 65 percent even without the notifi cation.
“Th e computer programming error did not have an impact on this tragedy,” Main said in an in-terview. “But it’s something we needed to fi x, there’s no question about it.”
Main said the program error has aff ected pattern screenings since 2007 but that Upper Big Branch was the only mine where it had any eff ect.
Under the agency’s current guidelines, mines that show an apparent pattern of violations over a two-year period get bumped to a higher level of scrutiny and face the potential for stiff er penalties and closure.
But a mine can avoid that
heightened scrutiny if it reduces the most serious violations by ei-ther 30 percent or to a level at or below the national average for similar mines.
At a hearing on mine safety is-sues in February, House lawmak-ers said MSHA data shows that future serious violations were cut by 72 percent when MSHA issued letters to mines saying they faced potential closures for additional violations.
If the Upper Big Branch mine had been issued a warning letter in October, it would have been the second time that the mine had re-ceived such a letter in two years.
In 2007, the mine also met crite-ria to be declared by MSHA to have a pattern of violations. But Massey again was able to reduce the num-ber of the most serious violations and avoid the declaration.
Gregory Wagner, a deputy as-sistant secretary for MSHA, said the computer program that screens for a pattern was improp-erly leaving out some citations – even though they were fi nal and uncontested.

Code change will hurt student rentersA change in the Morgan-
town zoning code could make it more diffi cult for students to fi nd proper rental housing in the area.
Th e amendment alters the def-inition of a “family” and would prevent more than two unrelated persons from living in the same dwelling.
Th e new code would apply to R1 and R1A residential neighbor-hoods, including South Park. Pre-viously, up to three unrelated in-dividuals were permitted to live
in the house in these areas.Th e policy will eff ectively re-
move rental housing from several neighborhoods in the city and could decrease supply of cheap, convenient units for West Vir-ginia University students.
The change will eventually lead to rental units being sold as owner-occupied private resi-dences. Th e aim of the new code, according to Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne, is to encourage stu-dents to live in certain areas of the city.
“I think everybody thinks this is a pretty good idea because it sort of recognizes that we want to re-ally work hard to preserve owner-occupied neighborhoods,” Byrne said. “With Sunnyside Up and quality rentals downtown, we’re trying to get students closer to the campus and within walking dis-tance of the campus and in areas more suited for student life.”
But Downtown is already con-gested and that purpose is un-likely the true motivation of the code change.
If these rental units are con-verted into owner-occupied houses, property values in the neighborhood will increase, and subsequent city revenue from property taxes will increase, as well.
Yes, the city needs to protect the interests of local homeown-ers. But at what expense to the students?
Most options closer to the Downtown Campus are ei-ther prohibitively expensive or sometimes of a questionable
standard.South Park is one example of a
neighborhood that, for the most part, provided a decent combina-tion of quality, convenience and aff ordability.
Thankfully, current renters will be grandfathered into the system.
But unless comparable hous-ing units are made available at a similar distance to the main cam-pus, students will suff er.
Water is a vital resource for all known life on this planet. It covers 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, and the human body is made up of anywhere from 55 to 78 percent water. Without it, we as a species could not survive.
West Virginia University visit-ing artist and University of New Mexico Professor Emerita Ba-sia Irland understands its im-portance in our lives and aims to create awareness of our nega-tive impact through her art.
We take advantage of our ac-cess to clean, potable water ev-ery time we turn the faucet han-dles. We need it for many other
daily activities besides drinking. According to the United Na-
tions World Water Development Report sponsored by the World Water Assessment Programme, 884 million people in the world rely on unimproved sources for drinking water, and an estimated 2.4 billion people will remain without access to basic sanita-tion in 2015.
Americans are the third larg-est consumers of water by vol-ume, but we don’t always real-ize its importance.
We don’t have to walk miles to transport three pounds per gal-lon of water per day just for ba-sic necessities such as drinking and bathing.
Irland uses her interdisciplin-ary style of art to force people to think outside the box and open their minds to these issues.
She refers to her art as a type of performance art, as ephemeral projects with repository pieces to commemorate the events.
Her “Gathering of Waters” project involves communities along a river to collecting water in a canteen that is passed from person to person.
It requires communities to unite together and come face to face with the resource that we so often take for granted.
Th e communal eff ort is then logged in a book for remem-brance of the event.
Th e WWDR also reported that almost one-tenth of global dis-eases could be mitigated by im-proving water supplies.
The Natural Resources De-fense Council estimates that ev-ery year approximately 7 million Americans develop illnesses, oc-
casionally fatal, from contami-nated tap water.
The World Health Associa-tion states that a child dies every eight seconds from a water-re-lated disease. Irland found her-self faced with this issue while exploring her passion for water. During a project, Irland stood submerged in a river and con-tracted the water-borne disease Schistomiasis.
From this experience, she de-voted her time to educating oth-ers on the importance of clean water. Her “Scrolls” project in-tegrated painted pictures of the diseases on scrolls made from fabrics used to strain water in India or hospital bed sheets to emphasize the purpose of creat-ing awareness.
Every detail of her projects has a purpose or symbolizes the im-
portance and impact of the proj-ect as a whole.
Although Irland is from Col-orado, her passion for water takes her across the globe and even brings her to places like Morgantown.
Her visit was more than a classroom lecture or a gallery showing. Her two week stay ended with an event Sunday.
With help from students, res-idents and the organization Friends of Deckers Creek, Irland performed a “Gathering of Wa-ters” along the length of Deck-ers Creek.
Th is specifi c body of water, so close to home, has been aff ected by toxic materials draining from abandoned area coal mines.
According to Friends of Deck-ers Creek, these chemicals turn the water a red-orange color
and increase the acidity of the water to the point that fi sh and other aquatic life are unable to survive.
From Africa to West Virginia, the water supply that we so des-perately depend on daily is con-taminated with pollutants harm-ful to all life forms.
In an attempt to educate peo-ple on an issue that aff ects us all, Irland uses her art in its many forms to create awareness. Her “Ice Books,” “Water Harvesting” and “Hydrolibros” are other re-cent projects that bring light to the issues of water conservation and sanitation.
Her eye for beauty in all the Earth off ers is evident in her use of completely natural materials.
Her art and her message are just as powerful and magnifi cent as her heart.

There has been much dis-content and anger directed to-ward the corner office holders at Massey Energy Company in the wake of the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster.
Though many issues exist, it is clear workers rights have come up quite frequently.
This brings up the discussion of labor unions and the lack of them at the Massey-owned mines.
It is fair to examine the pur-pose of union existence. A union is an organization of workers who have come together in or-der to protect and further the rights and interests of those workers as a whole.
These unions negotiate wages and benefits with the firm through collective bargaining.
Although unions have seen a decline in popularity, during the ’40s and ’50s roughly one-third of the labor force was union-ized (whereas today only about 13 percent is).
However, countries like Swe-den and Denmark operate with nearly three-quarters of its work-force being union members.
Corporations like Massey, and specifically CEO Don Blanken-ship, are generally opposed to such unions and employ union-busting tactics (such as hiring scab workers) to discourage and destroy them.
This forces the worker to be subservient to the corporation. Big business have already much power intrinsic to their nature, and they are given much more by eliminating unions.
The working man deserves a voice.
According to a 2004 study performed by John Budd of the Industrial Relations Center at the University of Minnesota, to-tal compensation per hour for unionized members in the pri-vate sector was approximately $32.12, whereas non-unionized members made about $22.01 on average.
In the same study, it was found that unionized labor-ers were 24 percent to 32 per-cent more likely to have pen-sion plans than non-unionized laborers.
These benefits clearly show a significant advantage unions hold.
A group of people collectively bargaining for wages stands a
much better chance than a sin-gle person and helps keep the corporation honest when in paying and compensating its workers.
More importantly, labor unions allow workers to refuse work or strike due to unfair con-ditions or wages without the fear of being fired by the company.
It is only fair and just to al-low employees the opportunity to band with a union and help them have a voice. It is also sta-tistically accurate that unionized workplaces, especially mines, have a better safety record than those operating non-union.
A union limits the overall absolute power of a corpora-tion over its workers. If there are problems on the job, with a union, a worker’s voice will be heard through the grievance process.
Without unions, corpora-tions don’t have to listen to em-ployees and can ignore their grievances.
A newly proposed piece of legislation, The Employee Free Choice Act, would amend the National Labor Relations Act and “establish an efficient sys-tem to enable employees to form, join or assist labor orga-nizations, to provide for manda-tory injunctions for unfair labor practices during organizing ef-forts and for other purposes.”
This would allow people who work at a nonunionized mine to contest unfair labor.
Unions, however, certainly aren’t perfect and have their flaws. From an economic stand-point, unions sometimes come under fire.
When conducting collective bargaining with a firm or corpo-ration, the wage will sometimes float above the equilibrium level, which in turn raises the quantity of labor supplied while subse-quently reducing the quantity demanded of labor. This results in some unemployment.
Yes, it is a disadvantage to the labor union system but not one reason to toss the idea out. The benefits far exceed the costs of unionized labor.
People who work in jobs un-der large firms, especially blue-collar laborers, deserve to have their voices heard.
This is made difficult without the presence of a union due to the shear size (and sometimes lack of care) of the big busi-nesses and firms they work for.
By having unions, the aver-age worker is given a voice and is empowered, thus keeping the firms in check and honest.

Acclaimed writer comes to Morgantown Poets
BY DAVID RYANEDITORINCHIEF
Aspiring TV stars braved af-ternoon drizzles Tuesday in an effort to be cast in the 25th sea-son of “The Real World.”
Producers of the long-run-ning MTV reality series held a seven-hour casting session at Sidelines Sports Bar and Grill.
Hopefuls aged between 18 and 24 lined the doorway, fill-ing out applications while wait-ing to be interviewed.
One even dressed like Scooby-Doo.
Brittany Fink, athletics tutor and fan of the show, waited in line for an hour before she was interviewed.
She decided to audition for the show to “bring something different to the table.”
“I thought it would be some-thing fun to do, bring a little change to my life,” she said.
When called, students inter-viewed with casting director Jessica Thompson.
The group then discussed a variety of subjects, includ-ing what they wanted to do five years from now, roommate hor-ror stories and politics.
The questions are designed to “get a feel all around of what they like and what they don’t like,” Thompson said.
When looking for potential candidates, Thompson said she looks to see “if they have some-thing to say, somebody some-one would want to watch for four of five months.
“You want somebody that you can feel you can see their progression as a person, or story, learn about them or want to learn about them,” Thomp-son said.
The potential housemates were also asked whether or not they had seen the show before and what their favorite seasons are.
One contestant described the recent season in DC as taking it-self “a little too seriously.”
The show’s 22nd season, which was filmed in the nation’s capital, ended with its lowest ever ratings.
“Ratings are often better for shows with people who have goals,” Thompson said. “But it changes.”
Each interview lasted about 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Once an interview is complete, Thompson will ask the audi-tioners to describe themselves in one word.
Thompson told the crowd she would let them know by 10 p.m. Tuesday if they would be asked for a second interview.
If someone is called back,
they will then be grouped with a national pool of candidates for the next season.
Thompson told hopefuls if they didn’t receive a call back this time, they are encouraged to reapply.
“Sometimes the show al-ready has a focus, but some-times you’re just not ready for ‘The Real World’ yet,” Thomp-son said, noting several in-stances where others have re-applied and appeared on later seasons.
The show is still taking appli-cations through its official pro-duction Web site, www.Bunim-Murray.com.
Those who wish to apply can submit brief audition clips of themselves for in-house cast-ing directors, Thompson said.
Fink, who described her-self as “hilarious” said she was more a fan of the accompanying challenge shows, such as “The Real World/Road Rules Chal-lenge,” but she wanted to ap-ply anyway.
“It’s a good way to es-cape reality sometimes,” Fink said. “They say it’s the real world, but really it’s escaping your world you’re in to get out there and experience something different.”
LEANN ARTHUR/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMBrittany Monack, left, of Morgantown, talks to Jamie Wehr, right, from Butler, Penn., as they wait in line for MTV’s ‘The Real World’ casting call at Sidelines Sports Bar and Grill Tuesday afternoon. “I think it’s a really awesome experience just to learn to adapt and grow in any situation,” Wehr said of the potential to be on ‘The Real World.’
HaveYouSeen? ‘(500) Days of Summer’ is a love story for both sexes
How many men out there have been left completely fl abbergasted by a fi lm?
Movies like “Failure to Launch” and “Ghost of Girlfriends Past” por-tray males as bumbling fools too ri-diculous to accept the concept of love until they meet that one spe-cial girl.
These films are typically not worth viewing, which may be Mat-thew McConaughey’s fault.
Yet, once in a while a love story comes along both sexes can enjoy – movies like “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” or “Th e Prin-cess Bride.”
Now, thanks to fi rst-time fi lm di-rector Marc Webb, we have “(500) Days of Summer.”
Th e movie tells the story of Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a regular guy who works a job he hates, and the 500 days of his life he spent obsessed with Summer Flinn (Zooey Deschanel).
Tom isn’t stalker obsessed, but when he sets his eyes on Summer for the fi rst time, he wants to get to know her better.
It’s a harmless school boy crush when it comes down to it.
When Summer returns the af-fection, Tom sets off on a rocky
relationship of silliness, sex and, near the end of the relationship, passive-aggressiveness.
Th e movie deals more with the stages of getting over a girl than the relationship itself, with more than 200 of the days devoted to Tom try-ing to move on.
I’m sure everyone has had that one bad day after romance goes wrong where leaving the bed seems like a terrible thing unless it’s to get more Twinkies, and so does Tom.
Th e movie is sweet, heartbreak-ing and real all at the same time.
Th e fi lm is a return to greatness for Gordon-Levitt, who, lets be hon-est, hasn’t done much good since “10 Th ings I Hate About You.”
I expected better from De-schanel. Half the fi lm feels like she was performing, and the other half seems like she is just reading from a piece of paper.
Th ankfully, her lackluster per-formance is backed up by sup-porting characters played by Clark Gregg and Geoff rey Arend, both of whom are underused.
Th e fi lm also tells the story in a non-linear style, jumping from pre-breakup to post-breakup mo-ments all the time, but through the use of a day counter, the viewer al-ways knows what day in the rela-tionship it is.
It’s almost Tarantino-esque, yet it is unique enough to not feel like a total rip-off .
Th e best part of the fi lm, though, is that it represents all the stages a guy feels in a relationship.
Puppy love, acting like a macho man, pretending to be over her when actually not – they’re all in the movie.
Th is movie also got me to fall out of love with Deschanel which, lets be honest, is probably for the best.
“(500) Days of Summer” is a movie that just about anyone can enjoy, especially since it ends on a hopeful note.

be at Arnold Hall from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Condoms cost 25 cents each or fi ve for $1.
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year, you get a new beginning nearly in any sector of your choice. Un-usual charisma, wit and respon-siveness attract many. To suc-ceed, put your mind on the job at hand. Drop the word “impos-sible” from your vocabulary. Your energy will only strengthen in 2011. If you are single, many want to be your sweetie. Who do you want? That is the question. If you are attached, be careful not to be too me-oriented. Relation-ships are a two-way street. TAU-RUS has a strong will.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ New begin-nings become possible. Your style opens doors and allows greater give-and-take. You might be inspired by a friend and/or meeting. You could feel uneasy about a work or daily issue. Invest more of yourself in a fi nancial matter. Tonight: Your treat.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★ Stop listening to others and center yourself. You actu-ally have the answers within. Your creativity seems to defy the possibility that you don’t know what to do. You keep seeking out solutions. Trust yourself. Tonight: Vanish.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ Emphasize what works and let go of what doesn’t. You could be inspired to fi nd other answers and so-lutions. Relay the important facts, and worry less about others and their reactions. As long as you express facts, not opinions, you’ll be on cruise control. Tonight: Head home early.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★ Assume the lead. Un-derstand what ails others. Listen rather than dictate. A meeting late in the day could recycle a project and your en-ergy. Tonight: Don’t hesitate to go for what you want.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★★ Let your imagina-tion wander, and you could come up with a deeper un-derstanding. A key associate or loved one could be less of a mystery when you walk in this person’s footsteps. What didn’t make sense finally does. Take a much-needed stand. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★★★ A new beginning within a partnership becomes possible. Your instincts play out in the work arena. You do need to follow through.
You could feel uncomfort-able with a partner or asso-ciate. Let go of your discom-fort, and try to imagine what is going on with this person. Tonight: Reach out for some-one at a distance.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★★ Defer to others and understand what might be going on with them. You could feel a bit uncomfort-able right now. Know that this is a passage, and you don’t need to let your feel-ings run a situation. Tap into your self-discipline. Tonight: Dinner for two.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★ Plunge into a project knowing you can clear out a hassle. Your intuition teamed with your imagination can put quite a sparkle on the fi nished product. A meeting confi rms your thoughts. Relax late in the day and only clear out necessary work. Tonight: Do rather than talk.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★★ You add a very distinct and creative tone to a project. You simply seem to know what is being said be-fore it is verbalized. Use this skill to the max, making what you want a possibility. Inves-tigate an offer that comes
through a friend. Tonight: Trust your instincts.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★ Knowing what needs to happen allows you to guide a situation. A great idea returns late in the day, when you seem more open. A child or loved one would like to twist your arm to get more of your time. Why not? To-night: Take a midweek break.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★ Return calls. Plans could change radically because of news or a meet-ing. You might not be able to concentrate at times, as your mind could be fl oating. Har-ness your imagination and add to your productivity in the here and now. Tonight: Happily heading home.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★ You could be won-dering which way to go with a major project. Investigate al-ternatives where you might be less fi nancially tied. Your ability to move in a new direc-tion could be colored by your sixth sense. Tonight: Chatting up a storm.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings“I Learned the Hard Way”Grade: B+
With a voice as big as the sound her band, The Dap-Kings, produce, Sharon Jones is trying to bring listeners back to funk’s and soul’s heyday from the ’60s and ’70s.
Listening to “I Learned the Hard Way” is like stepping in a musical time machine. The album oozes a retro vibe, and songs are littered with jazzy horn parts and funkifi ed rhythms.
The album’s title track is one of the highlights. It has a big, almost orchestral sound, and Jones is at the top of her vo-cal game.
Jones’ words drip with scorn caused by a cheating lover, and even trombone and trumpet solos echo her tone.
While Jones is the album’s main attraction, The Dap-Kings are all extremely talented mu-sicians in the vein of The Funk Brothers, and the backing vo-calists could easily front their own bands.
“I Learned the Hard Way” should serve as a great intro for anyone curious about funk and soul, and fans of legendary groups in this genre like Sly & The Family Stone will probably fi nd something to like as well.
— mwa
Jason Castro“Jason Castro”Grade: B-
Former “American Idol” con-testant Jason Castro has fi-nally released his fi rst CD, “Ja-son Castro.”
The fi rst single, “Let’s Just Fall in Love Again,” is a toe-tapping, head-bopping pop song with a folk and acoustic rock feel, however it verges on sound-ing too similar to the Jonas Brothers.
“This Heart of Mine” is an-other feel-good track with a great melody. Castro’s simple tenor voice sounds better in a studio recording than it did on “Idol.”
“That’s What I’m Here For” is much more acoustic and folk/pop than the previous two tracks and shows Castro’s true talent.
The emotional “Love Uncom-promised” is Castro’s best song. He pours his emotions into the vocals and has a more original and diverse sound than other songs on the CD.
“Closer” shows more of a rock side to Castro but is one of the weaker songs on the release.
He saves himself with songs like “It Matters to Me.”
For a fi rst release with only eight tracks, Castro has done well for himself since leaving “American Idol.”
— jtp
Neon Trees“Habits”Grade: A
Neon Trees is an electric rock/ pop group of four mem-bers, including frontman Tyler Glenn who provides the tal-ented, unique vocals on the newly released album “Habits.”
The band put love into its al-bum, and almost everything, from the cover art through the allegorical themes fi n each track, deal with the emotion.
“Sins Of My Youth” jump-starts the album with a song about breaking habits and get-ting over your past to start a new love.
The electric guitar and Glenn’s vocals are the focus of this track.
“Animal” is a combination of soft rock and pop with hand clapping to the upbeat tempo.
The song uses cannibal-ism as an allegory, with lyrics like “Take a bite of my heart tonight.”
“In The Next Room” is a slower song that changes the album’s pace, adding a jazz feel and keyboards.
The songs of this album are well complemented by each other forming a love story from start to fi nish.
“Habits” hits the spot for those who enjoy pop rock mu-sic with moving lyrics.
— brm
Dr. Dog“Shame, Shame”Grade: A
The City of Brotherly Love’s Dr. Dog recently released its sixth full-length LP, “Shame, Shame.”
Fans should be familiar with the band’s distinctive soulful and eclectic sounds, which are prevalent on the new album.
However, “Shame, Shame” is, on fi rst listen, more polished from a production standpoint.
“Shame, Shame” is an excel-lent introduction to Dr. Dog for new listeners, and it’s enticing for current fans as well.
Scott McMicken and Toby Leaman’s vocals are better than ever, taking listeners deep into the band’s eccentrically psyche-delic blues pop.
The back and forth pattern having two vocalists has always kept Dr. Dog’s albums fresh and interesting. The third track, “Station,” even brings a country sound to the audience.
Like other Dr. Dog albums, “Shame, Shame” has a great deal of replay value.
With songs like “Where’d All the Time Go?” and “I Only Wear Blue,” “Shame, Shame” will im-press old fans and draw in new alike. Even though the songs here are more polished than on previous releases, this CD is still Dr. Dog.

‘Slash’ is the solo debut for the legendary guitarist
Pete Townsend, Jimmy Page, Angus Young, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Slash – rock historians could make an argu-ment for naming any of those artists the greatest guitarist of all time.
However, only one of them can still make it on stage with-out the aid of a walker.
With “Slash,” his self-titled debut solo effort, the top hat-clad guitarist has produced some of his signature solo ef-forts behind the chords of a gui-tar and backed by a slew of mu-sic legends at vocals.
For Slash, this last effort can be seen as nearly two decades of creative juices finally being released to the public in a spec-tacular fashion.
With Ozzy Osbourne’s help, Slash gets the ball rolling with “Crucify the Dead.”
Despite not being able to un-derstand what Ozzy is saying half the time, the ageless rocker still knows how to give it his all behind the mic.
Of course, Slash provides perfect guitar riffs for this slow-paced track.
However, it’s the similarities that can be found in “Crucify the Dead” that really makes this track memorable.
The song conjures memo-ries of early ’70s Black Sabbath, when Ozzy was just beginning his rise to fame.
Though listeners may expect a collaboration between Slash and Ozzy to be legendary, few would have guessed the best track on the album to come from Fergie.
In “Beautiful Dangerous,” the Black Eyed Peas singer takes on a role she has rarely seen and capitalizes beautifully – that of a rock singer.
Utilizing a strong musical backing that only Slash could develop, “Beautiful Dangerous” is a strong track right out of the box, even without vocals.
With catchy lyrics and Fer-
gie’s amazing vocals, this track is the highlight of the album and a testament to Fergie’s musical abilities, abilities I’ve attacked her for in the past. Congratula-tions Fergie, you’ve proven me wrong.
The other bright spot on “Slash” features vocals by Ian Astbury, lead singer of English rock band The Cult.
“Ghost” provides rock fans with the best of both worlds on this album – a mix of heavy hitting guitar solos and great vocals.
“We’re All Gonna Die” fea-tures punk rocker Iggy Pop, and although the years may have taken a toll on his vocals, the track is saved by another fantas-tic guitar solo by Slash.
There are numerous other collaborations on “Slash” that really help to boost this album, not only through star power but also musically.
However, there is one nota-ble absence on “Slash,” which is Axl Rose.
Is there a possible Guns N’ Roses reunion lurking in the future?
Probably not. But if Slash continues to
make quality music such as we hear on this album, who knows? Maybe Rose will crawl back on his hands and knees begging Slash to take him back.

A high-powered offense led the West Virginia baseball team to a 13-11 victory over Eastern Kentucky Tuesday night in the Mountaineer Diamond Classic at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W. Va.
Six Mountaineer players had at least two hits led by ju-nior outfielder Dom Hayes and freshman Matt Frazer who each had three hits.
The Colonels got out to a fast
start scoring four runs in the top of the first inning, but the Mountaineers got two back in the bottom of the first to cut the lead to 4-2.
National Player of the Week Jedd Gyorko led off with a triple to right center field.
Hayes then grounded out to shortstop, Richie Rodriguez to get the RBI. Two batters later, Frazer homered to right field to bring West Virginia within two.
After a scoreless third inning by both teams, Eastern Ken-tucky poured three more runs
on in the top of the fourth. With a man on second base,
Rodriguez singled to the left side to score Matt Phipps. The Colonels would go on to score two more runs in the inning to take back the lead 7-5.
The Mountaineers tied the game at seven, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Justin McDavid, who went 2-for-5 with three RBI, doubled to left center to score Frazer. After Mark Dvoroznak walked, catcher Kevin Griffin singled
to bring in McDavid to tie the game at seven.
The biggest inning of the game for the Mountaineers came in the sixth when they were once again down going into the bot-tom of the inning.
Eastern Kentucky Pitcher Eric Sanders hit designated hit-ter Grant Buckner and Frazer to load the bases.
McDavid followed up with a two-run single.

University offi cials interviewed by NCAA
Defense wants perfection

Baseball defeats Eastern Kentucky in thriller
BY TONY DOBIESMANAGING EDITOR
West Virginia offi cials were interviewed by the NCAA re-cently to identify any potential rule violations that may have taken place. The interviews were conducted with individu-als involved with the Universi-ty’s football program.
A source told ESPN the inves-tigation surrounded former West Virginia head coach Rich Rodri-guez, who is the current head football coach at Michigan.
“Th e University has fully co-operated with the NCAA dur-ing this process,” a University statement read. “West Virginia University and its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to operating its ath-letic program in conformance with the legislation and policy of the NCAA and the Big East Conference.”
Th e athletic department had no further comment, and WVU current head coach Bill Stewart, who was on staff as an assistant and associate head coach under Rodriguez, was not scheduled
for interviews with the media after Tuesday’s spring practice. WVU spokesman John Bolt de-ferred statement to the athletic department, as well.
Rodriguez and Michigan are currently being investigated for alleged NCAA rules violations for spending too much time on football-related activities.
Th e NCAA accused Michigan of fi ve potentially major rules violations in February. In the NCAA’s report, Rodriguez didn’t track whether his staff or players were abiding by NCAA guide-lines including those limiting the time spent on practice and football-related activities.
According to NCAA rules, during the football season play-ers are limited to 20 hours of practice per week and four hours per day.
A reporter attempted to ask Rodriguez for comment Tues-day at his weekly news confer-ence and was cut off by Direc-tor of Media Relations Dave Ablauf before the question was fi nished.

Despite being relatively dominant through-out the fi rst fi ve spring practices, West Virginia defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel said his de-fense still has “a lot of work to do” before it meets its potential.
“We’re not very good right now to be honest,” Casteel said after a more than two-hour prac-tice at the Caperton Indoor Facility Tuesday.
Th e defense returns most of its veteran lead-ers outside of linebacker Reed Williams and safety Nate Sowers including nose tackle Chris Neild, defensive tackle Scooter Berry, defen-sive end Julian Miller, linebackers Pat Lazear and J.T Th omas, and safeties Robert Sands and Sidney Glover.
“We have a lot of room for improvement,” Lazear said. “We can be dominating this year. We have a lot of potential on this defense, but we haven’t tapped into it yet.”
Th e team seemed happier with its practice on Tuesday but still felt like it hadn’t worked hard enough in the fi rst four practices last week.
“Th e fi rst practice we could’ve come out and done incredible, but we didn’t,” Lazear said. “We are working to try to improve on that ev-ery day.”
Th omas was disappointed in the defense’s practice on Saturday. He said the defense, par-ticularly the veteran players, didn’t put out enough eff ort.
“Th at’s not the way we should lead,” Th omas said. “Th e next thing you know, the younger guys will be doing that, and then the whole de-fense will look bad.”
With so much experience back, the defense, which fi nished 36th in the country in total de-fense and 31st in scoring defense last season, is expected to be one of the better units un-der Casteel.
Sands said the team is trying to focus on im-proving and not necessarily on the potential it has.
“Ultimately, our goal is to win the Big East and hopefully go on to the national champi-

Cycling hosts inaugural Mountaineer Classic in ClarksburgBY BEN GAUGHAN
SPORTS WRITER
Th e West Virginia club cycling team grabbed several top-10 fi n-ishes in two races at the inaugu-ral Clarksburg Mountaineer Clas-sic in Clarksburg, W.Va., Saturday and Sunday.
More than 100 racers from schools such as Virginia Tech, North Carolina State Univer-sity, Naval Academy, University of Virginia, University of Mary-land, George Washington Univer-sity and American University at-
tended the race.Th e cycling club also held a
bike rodeo Saturday to help teach kids safe bike-riding skills.
“Th e weekend went really well,” said WVU club cycling president Emily Moy. “It was defi nitely a success. We had a lot of support; a lot of people came out on Sat-urday and Sunday to watch our races and support us, and that was really exciting.”
Duncan Oliver, a graduate stu-dent in petroleum engineering, and Balaji Seward, a graduate stu-dent in mechanical engineering,
placed third and fi fth, respectively, in the Men’s B category. Janel Be-dard, a graduate student, placed third while Moy ended fourth in the Women’s A race.
Senior Ryan McGovern placed second, and Todd LaTocha placed
fi fth in the Men’s D race.Sunday was the road race at
Watters Smith Park near Lost Creek, W.Va., that featured a 12-mile loop around the wooded area with a total distance of 60 miles for Men’s A, 48 miles for Men’s B and Women’s A, 32 miles for Men’s C and Women’s B, and 24 miles for the Men’s D grouping.
Bedard placed second in the Women’s A while Brad Dod-son, a graduate student in phys-ical therapy, won the Men’s B by more than four and a half min-utes. Dodson led a 1-2 WVU fi n-
ish in the race as Oliver fi nished second. McGovern placed third in Men’s D.
“Brad (Dodson) is incredible,” Moy said. “He’s new to the team this year and has never raced be-fore, so we’re all blown away by his performance. We’re going to try to help him out, and hope-fully he can keep doing this next year.
“He’s one of those superstars that starts out as a beginner but upgrades quicker than all the rest of us without even trying.”
Th e team will head to the At-
lantic Collegiate Conference Championships this weekend, which will be hosted by Virginia Tech, to wrap up the road season. Th e team says it’s already plan-ning its trip back to Clarksburg next season.
Moy said next year’s race will also be open to the public and not just collegiate riders.
“We are extremely grateful for all the support from the commu-nity and hope next year will be an even greater success.”

“We’re going to pass on that,” Ablauf said. Rodriguez did not respond.
When Michigan’s NCAA vi-olations had originally been announced in September, As-sociate Athletic Director for Communications Michael Fra-gale told the Charleston Daily Mail, “based upon our looking back over the weekend, we don’t feel we have any concerns. We
have checked it out, and there has been nothing fl agged and nothing out of the ordinary. Th ere were no student-athlete complaints during the time (Ro-driguez) was here.”
Rodriguez left WVU for Mich-igan in December 2007 – weeks after WVU nearly made it to the National Championship game before losing to Pittsburgh 13-9 and ending that chance.
Th e breakup wasn’t clean, as the University sued Rodriguez because he refused to pay a $4 million buyout clause.
A settlement was made, and Michigan paid WVU $2.5 mil-lion, and Rodriguez is currently in the process of paying WVU the additional $1.5 million in three annual payments.
Stewart was named interim head coach after Rodriguez left, and after a victory in the 2008 Fi-esta Bowl was elevated to head coach.
Th e Associated Press contrib-uted to this story.

onship or a BCS bowl,” he said. “We do have high expectations, and we want to go out and show everyone why.”
WVU head coach Bill Stewart said he was disappointed with his team’s leadership after the team’s fi rst spring practice.
Without Williams in the lineup, the defense has had to fi nd a new vocal leader to rely on.
“Th ey’re asking more for me, so I have to give that to them. I have to be a vocal leader,” Sands said.
Practice Notes Casteel has had to make �
some changes at middle line-backer. He slid Lazear to the in-side, which allowed Anthony Leonard to move to the start-ing position at the strong-side position.
With Devine in a green jer- �sey after suff ering a bruised quad
in practice Saturday, receiver Jock Sanders and backup running back Shawne Alston saw most of the carries during the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 scrimmages near the end of practice Tuesday.
Devine caught passes during the drills, however, and looked to run without any problems. Dur-ing special teams work early in practice, the Mountaineers were already working on trick plays. Th ey ran a fake punt to end the Tuesday’s drill session.
Running back Ryan Clarke, �who saw signifi cant action last season as a bigger back to compli-ment Devine, practiced with the team for the fi rst time this spring. He had been working on his own prior to Tuesday’s practice.
On one of Clarke’s fi rst carries in goal-line work, he was stripped of the ball by defensive lineman Jamal Nelson.
Clarke was punished by head coach Bill Stewart by doing 10 pushups after the turnover.
Th e Mountaineers off ense �
went deep for the fi rst time dur-ing scrimmage drills this spring. To-be sophomore quarterback Geno Smith had some success getting the ball down the fi eld.
He found tight end Tyler Ur-ban over the middle for a 35-yard completion. Later, Smith found receiver Bradley Starks on a short crossing pattern to gain another 26 yards.
West Virginia practiced in- �side the Caperton Indoor Facility for the fi rst time this spring with the impending rain, which was thought to hamper an outdoor practice.
Former Mountaineer line- �backer Reed Williams and punter Scott Kozlowski were in atten-dance at Tuesday’s practice.
Kicker Tyler Bitancurt, wide �receiver J.D. Woods and running back Daquan Hargrett sported non-contact red jerseys and spent most of practice working on sta-tionary bicycles.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Pet-titte hit the corners, Derek Jeter homered into the right-center fi eld stands, Jorge Posada ram-bled into second base for a dou-ble. And for good measure, Mari-ano Rivera closed it out with a cutter.
Don’t tell the Yankees’ core four it’s 2010.
The longtime All-Stars each picked up World Series ring No. 5, then led New York to a victory in its home opener Tuesday, 7-5 over the Los Angeles Angels in front of a record crowd that included owner George Steinbrenner.
“Everyone talks about how long we’ve been here but in our minds it seems like we are just still little kids,” said Jeter, the AL Rookie of the Year in 1996. “We want to come out here and con-tribute and try and be consis-tent. Th at’s what we tried to do throughout the years and that’ll never change.”
The Angels’ Hideki Matsui might have gotten the loudest ovation of the stirring ceremony that celebrated the Yankees’ 27th title, with fans welcoming back the World Series MVP. But the four stars who last won a title in 2000 wound up winners in the end.
“Th ey all played big roles last year, as well,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “Andy won the last game at the Stadium last year and won the fi rst one this year – pretty fi tting. Derek had some big hits, Jorgie. Mo closed it out. It is appropriate.”
With the 2009 World Series ban-ner whipping in a chilly breeze, Pettitte (1-0) returned to the Yan-
kee Stadium mound for the fi rst time since he won the clinching Game 6 against Philadelphia last November. He threw 100 pitches in six crisp innings as the Yankees dropped the Angels to 2-6, their worst start since 1972.
The 40-year-old Rivera was needed to earn his third save after another ex-Yankee, Bobby Abreu, hit a grand slam in the ninth off Dave Robertson to make it 7-5.
“Obviously we did too many things poorly early in the game and had to crawl our way back and it was too little too late,” An-gels manager Mike Scioscia said. “Th ere’s defi nitely some things we need to clean up the way we’re playing ball this week.”
Matsui was mobbed by his for-mer teammates near the mound after getting his ring in the pre-game festivities. He was regaled with a prolonged standing salute when he stepped into the batter’s box in the fi rst inning.
“I was very deeply moved by that moment. It’s something that I did not anticipate at all,” he said through a translator. “It’s some-thing that I will remember for-ever, that moment. I’m just very happy and very thankful, the way that the fans had welcomed me back.”
The Angels’ designated hit-ter stepped out and tipped his helmet before striking out – an-other cheer – to end the inning and got tangled with Posada, who playfully tagged him a couple of times. Matsui went 0 for 5 in front of a record regular-season crowd of 49,293 at the ballpark, now in its second year.
“Th e fans wanted him to tip his
hat. I just felt he deserved that so I stepped off the mound,” Pettitte said. “As soon as he steps in the box, it’s just put your head down. You better make good pitches to him.”
Jeter, who led off the Yankees’ last regular-season home game with a home run, hit his first homer of the year in the fourth and hit a sharp grounder off Ervin Santana’s thigh for another RBI in the fi fth.
Nick Johnson also homered for New York, who hit a team-record 136 homers in their fi rst year at the ballpark. Th e most home runs across 161st Street, now a fading memory – thanks to a wrecking crew – was 126 in 2004 and ‘05.
Johnson homered off San-tana (0-2) in his fi rst at-bat in pinstripes since 2003, when he was traded to Montreal during the off season, helping the Yan-kees win for the 12th time in the last 13 home openers. Th ey were routed by Cleveland in the fi rst game at the new stadium on April 16, 2009.
Pettitte became the first pitcher in postseason history to start and win all three clinching games, including Game 6 of the ALCS against the Angels, and he began this season in equally fi ne fashion. He allowed a run and six hits against Boston in his fi rst start and shut down the Angels’ speedy off ense for his 230th ca-reer win.
“Pressure-wise I almost felt more pressure than a World Se-ries game – because unless it’s a Game 6 or a Game 7 – you know you have another game,” Pettitte said.
borow then doubled down the left field line to score two more to give the Mountaineers an 11-10 lead.
The Mountaineers allowed just one run in the next inning and managed to grab the lead for good in the bottom half of the eighth.
After Gyorko doubled to left center field and scored, Hayes hit a double of his own into left field.
West Virginia pitcher Chase Pickering threw 1.2 strong in-
nings of relief for the Moun-taineers, and allowed just one earned run and one hit while striking out three.
Senior and career save leader Andy Altemus closed the game out to get the win, pitching the last two innings without allow-ing any runs.
The Mountaineers will at-tempt to add onto their two game win streak as they face Louisville in a three-game series
this weekend at Hawley Field. The first pitch is set for 7:05
p.m. Friday.
